MOSCOW -- Rosneft signed a deal to acquire the gas assets of diamond miner Alrosa for $1.38 billion as it aims to become a major player in the Russian gas market.
The CEO of the two companies signed the deal, which will increase Rosneft' s recoverable gas reserves by 200 Bcm, Rosneft said in a statement.
Rosneft became the world' s largest listed crude oil producer after buying TNK-BP in March from BP and its partners, a group of Soviet born tycoons, in deals worth some $60 billion.

Dear Liz: I currently have a 401(k) and an IRA, but want something more. A longtime CPA, who is very close to our family, recommended that I buy some stocks, but I'm unsure how to go about this.
Answer: When you're investing, it's important to be diversified. That means you should spread your money among different types of investments so you don't have all your eggs in one basket, so to speak.
You'd need hundreds of thousands of dollars to be properly diversified with individual stocks. When you're just starting out, it's a lot smarter to buy mutual funds or exchange-traded funds that invest in a wide variety of stocks. Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF, for example, invests in more than 3,600 companies and has an ultra-low expense ratio of just 0.05%.
The fees you pay for your investments are important, since high expenses can dramatically reduce your total returns. Funds that try to beat the market, rather than match it, often engage in a lot of trading that drives up costs. Funds sold through full-service brokerages can carry high expenses as well.
So look for a discount brokerage that allows you to invest with minimal fees and commissions. Or consider one of the new breed of online advisors, such as Betterment or Wealthfront, that offers a low-cost basket of investments that are selected, monitored and rebalanced using sophisticated technology.

Much of the money in your 401(k) and your IRA is probably already invested in stock mutual funds – and if it's not, it probably should be.
I've seen questions similar to this turn up again and again on different personal finance sites. "I have a 401(k) and an IRA and now I want to invest in the stock market too." But "the stock market" is not something completely separate from your 401(k) and IRA. In particular, just about any investment you can make in a regular, taxable account (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.), you can also make in an IRA. The fact that someone is even asking this question suggests to me that their first step should be to understand the investments they already have, before they start trying to invest even more.

Well if you like it the Jersey Shore way, Don't get a girlfriend have a new girl every night!
Thats what Pauley D does
From a woman's perspective, if I found out that the person I was dating was also dating other people, secretly or not... well, I'm generally a calm person but I can be quite vicious when I feel the need to be. There is no stability in a romantic relationship involving more than 2 people.
"…the whole trouble lies here. In words, words. Each one of us has within him a whole world of things, each man of us his own special world. And how can we ever come to an understanding if I put in the words I utter the sense and value of things as I see them; while you who listen to me must inevitably translate them according to the conception of things each one of you has within himself. We think we understand each other, but we never really do."

Obvious a troll, because if you can't stand having one girlfriend why having one at all? If you get bored of one, why wouldn't you be bored of two or three or four or ten?

Can we keep the answers a little more serious. Just because you don't have the same problem doesn't mean other people don't.
A reminder to everyone, don't post to call someone a troll and don't derail a thread.
As long as all the parties involved know what they're getting into. No, I don't see any problem but I wouldn't do it.
The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
I think it's probably reliant upon a large amount of trust, and complete and utter open-ness about it to eachother. That said I think for 99.999999999999% of the population it's either unthinkable in the first place, or won't work if they try
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like more than half of you more than you deserve.
This made me laugh. So hard. The way I see it, having more than 1 GF makes you ignorant and selfish. Polygamy, amirite?
---------- Post added 2012-12-01 at 11:11 PM ----------
That's up to the GF(s) in question, isn't it? Don't hook up with a girl who isn't okay with it, and don't do it if you're not ok with her having several boyfriends, too (she/they might not want more, but if you're going the whole double standards route, you'll look... silly).

Returned from 6/17 Alaska Cruise
Just returned from our cruise and I thought I would share our thoughts on our excursions!
Skagway: Husband and 13 year old son did the Hike and Raft Excursion. Booked through Shipmate. They had a great experience! Guide took as much or as little time as the group needed. Hike was fairly strenuous and best for those in good physical shape. Float was enjoyable. Mosquitoes were present, but not persistent. Would recommend this!
Myself, son age 10 and daughter age 5 did the helicopter ride to the glacier. Booked directly through TEMSCO. This was AMAZING! Lots of freedom to explore the glacier. I felt like we weren't rushed. Guides were great in taking us to a few highlight areas. Helicopter ride was smooth and enjoyable. Company ran things well. At the berth that we were at, we exited the ship and you could see their building and helicopters from the gangway. Very easy process to get there, get prepped to go, take-off and landings, etc. Warning: you are not allowed to take any bags with you, including small camera bags. Everything that you take has to fit in your pockets. I would HIGHLY recommend this excursion and it was the highlight of our trip!
Juneau - Our entire group of 7 did the Taku Lodge and Float Plane Adventure. We booked directly through them to save some money. Very easy to find; no issues with that process. Float plane ride was enjoyable. Narration was fine (not done by the pilot, but pre-recorded). Landing was smooth. Once we arrived, we noticed all of the people standing on the shore were swatting at bugs. When we got off the plane, we were greeted by an overwhelming amount of mosquitoes. I have never in my life seen so many! They were swarming around our faces like CRAZY! Fortunately, they weren't really biting. We did have really really strong bug spray on, so maybe that is why we weren't bitten; just bothered.
After checking out the lodge, we tried to go for a hike. The mosquitoes were actually even worse in the woods. We got about 100 yards and had to turn back. They were in our eyes, you couldn't open your mouth, etc. It was just not tolerable! So, we ended up going to the restrooms, gift shop, and sitting in the lodge waiting for the meal.
The meal was very good. Very tasty! It was a serve yourself kind of deal and then they brought around the cookies afterwards. Plenty of food!
After the meal, we hung out indoors for the most part due to the mosquito problem. Then we boarded the float planes again and were off back to the docks. Overall, it was an okay adventure. The scenery was beautiful and the planes were fun. The meal was great. We did not see bears, but we hit it on a very warm day and they said the bears stick to the shade when it's hot.
Ketchikan - We did the Deadliest Catch excursion and booked directly through the company. This was fabulous! Everyone in our party enjoyed it from the grandparents to the youngest (age 5). The people who worked on the ship were outstanding. It was very interactive and the time went very fast. They threw fish to the bald eagles and there were so many eagles that it was absolutely amazing! Swooping down right in front of the boat to get the fish out of the water. Very cool! They pulled up crabs, an octopus, and several other interesting creatures. The tanks on the boat are cool for the kids to get an up-close look. We were able to hold the crabs and take pictures with the crew. I would definitely recommend this one as well!
Let me know if you have any specific questions to the excursions we did! We got a lot of information from this thread and want to pass it on!

Thanks so much for sharing! We have the Deadliest Catch and Temsco helicopter tours planned also, so I am glad to hear they were good! Question: I thought I read you could take your camera with you on the helicopter. Is this correct? I have a DSLR, so it won't fit in my pocket. I thought you could wear them around your neck. Do you know?

Yes you can wear your camera around your neck. Just has to be out of the camera bag. We had a very large Nikon and it wasn't a problem. You absolutely need a camera - I brought back some amazing pictures. Temsco helicopter and dog sledding was the highlight of our trip. It was a beautiful day. Bright sunlight up on the glacier and the mushers were in t-shirts. When you ask my teenage girls their favorite part of the whole cruise they will say holding the puppies at the dog camp (even though they only got to hold them for a few minutes). It was truly the experience of a lifetime up there on the mountain mushing with the dogs.

Our two excursion highlights:
Skagway- Dog Musher's Summer Camp. You see some beautiful scenery way off the beaten path and learn about the Iditarod. We got to hold four week old pups! The kids absolutely loved it.
Ketchikan - big surprise for us was the Lumberjack show. Everyone had a great time, especially the kids. It's cheap, only an hour and close to the ship. I had lunch at the Alaska Fish House next door - smoked salmon chowder and salad, about twelve bucks. They also had halibut, cod, and salmon fish and chips (but I had had my fill by this point). As others have said, Ketchikan was my favorite port for shopping. We also wanted to see totem poles, but didn't have the budget for a big excursion, so we took a ten dollar cab ride to Saxman Native Village. We couldn't get into the clan house or the carving shed, but DD took pictures of the totem poles and that was enough for her. LOL
We had a long/rough day whale watching in Juneau. We did see a few tails, but it was hot and the boat was enclosed without a/c. They moved semi-formal night to Juneau AND we had the MU premear and Pixar party, so it was just one of those loaded vacation days in general.
Overall, we loved Alaska and will probably go again in a few years.

Alaska excursions June 3 2013
We loved our June 3 Alaska cruise. I booked all our excursions through Disney. Two adults and two four year old boys on everything.
Skagway -- Yukon suspension bridge, city, and white pass railway. We book a narrated bus ride into the Yukon first. Beautiful views and lots of picture stops. The driver/guide was very willing to take group photos. Then a 45 min or so stop at the suspension bridge. This was fun but more "tourist trap" type experience then I expected. We bought drinks and snacks, checked out the gift shop, walked across the bridge and that's about it. Some nice gold rush displays to read. Nice view of the river. Finally we took the white pass trip back down. The train itself has been well reviewed elsewhere. My kids especially liked being out on the platform.
Juneau -- Taku Lodge by float plane. We love love loved this excursion; definitely the highlight of our trip. No issues with bugs unlike previous poster. The two float plane trips (before and after) were just the right length for Mommy to get the experience and little boys not to get bored. Breathtaking glacier views (our weather was very good). Lodge was quiet and peaceful. The kids played in the grass, made friends with the dogs, watched the salmon grilling. We went on a private nature walk for a closer glacier view. Had our own table just for the four of us at lunch. Food was amazing, especially the biscuits and ginger cookies. My kids even ate some salmon. After lunch, there was a guided nature walk to "sometimes a waterfall". More playing in the grass, quick stop in the gift shop, then floatplane back to civilization. The only down side was we didn't see bears. We would absolutely do this again when we someday, hopefully, go to Alaska again.
We also separately did the Mt Roberts Tram, or "flying bus" as my kids called it. Walked up to the ticket counter and got right now. Nice view of the harbor, captive bald eagle, interesting film on native culture.
Ketchikan -- Annette Island Native Discovery. I picked this, which seems to be a new excursion this year, because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to to do but was disappointed there wasn't time for whale watching in Juneau and wanted a "small boat" excursion. It turned out to be a lot of fun. It was pouring rain in Ketchikan and as soon as the catamaran was out on the bay everything cleared up. Nice views of the coastline, knowledgeable captain and naturalist. 30 min or so boat trip to Annette Island. Brief bus tour of the town led by two young women who grew up there. Then they took us to the cultural center where the kids were led through drawing a native design on the top of a "drum." Then a fun dancing and drumming demonstration that the kids were invited to join. The leader of the group spent 15 min or so with the kids at the end answering questions and letting them try out his real drums. Then there were native crafts to purchase. Finally, catamaran trip back to Ketchikan. We saw some eagles on the way back. Binoculars were provided on the boat. Overall very nice day.

We did both our excursions through Disney and loved them. I'll review them separately though since I'll be adding pictures, and had seen very little in the way of reviews on either.
Skagway- Glacier Point Wilderness Safari
Our family group of 6 all chose this one. We were myself and DH, my parents (60's) and my 13 and 16 year olds. This one was THE highlight of the cruise for us all! This excursion takes you by boat past the town of Haines to near Davidson Glacier. From there you do some hiking and then canoe up to the glacier. But it's so much more than that!
First, if you do this excursion, you don't need to book a whale watching excursion in Juneau. I think our group (all DCL) was about 24 people. The boat was enclosed, with windows that we raised when we stopped to whale watch. The boat trip to the base camp was about an hour. We saw LOTS of whales, and the captain would stop and go towards them just like on a whale watching excursion. Our guide on the boat, Lee, was great and very knowledgeable.
Once we arrived at the base camp, we had a short hike through a meadow, and then we immediately had lunch- turkey sandwich, apple, fruit bar, water.
Then we rode via school bus to the base camp, where we were outfitted with boots, extra jackets, life vests. It was probably in the 50's but got much colder when we got closer to the glacier. After all getting geared up, we took a short hike through the forest to the canoes and got a closer view of the glacier.
Then we paddled up to the glacier (but after the first part, the guide turned the little motor on for us!)
My family ready to go!
Still about a mile from the glacier, can you believe it?
We were able to beach the canoes (I guess they can't always) and spent some time exploring around the base. Phenomenal.
I have so many more amazing pictures but this gives you the gist.
After that, we canoed back, then returned to our boat for the return to Skagway. We saw even more whales on the return trip! It was definitely a full day adventure, I think it was 6.5 hours. We were hungry when we got back for sure! The guides were fantastic- they live out at the base camp, no running water or electricity. They are some amazing young people! Just genuinely in love with Alaska and eager to share their knowledge with you.
In short, my family thanked me over and over for selecting this excursion. Best one we've EVER taken (and we've done a lot over the years!).

Alaska Whales and Science Adventure
Our second excursion was also through DCL, Alaska Whales and Science Adventure in Juneau. This was through Gastineau Guiding. This excursion was just myself and my 2 teenagers. The basic premise is that you get to participate in some ongoing research on humpback whales, and the changing Alaska ecosystem. This is their website: http://www.stepintoalaska.com/tour_s...rchexploration
They were terrific. The first part of our day was the whale watch. We were in a small boat, and only 9 total guests and 3 guides! We were 3 family groups of 3. One other family had a 10 yo girl, and another family had their college aged daughter. The guide said that DCL specified that this tour be kept very small, in order to provide a more exclusive experience than other cruise lines offer.
We saw plenty of whales, and Stellar sea lions as well. My son got to be the photographer and use their VERY high end camera to photograph the whales so that their tail flukes can be cataloged. Researchers are looking to see if the same whales return to the same places every year, how often does that whale have a calf, etc. All the pictures are mine- with a Canon XTi that is dying. Needless to say I'm sure the ones my son took on their camera are a lot better...
After this, he taps the camera, turns to me and says, "THIS is what I need..."
The kids got to: pull up a trap that had lots of different sea life in it (crabs, fish, etc), learn how to pull up sea water from 50 feet down and measure its temperature and ph level, and pulled up phytoplankton that humpbacks feed on as well. It was great.
The second part was a hike at the Mendenhall Glacier. There, they checked off plants and the stage of development they were in (first bloom, etc). This purpose was to monitor how the environment around the glacier is changing as the glacier retreats. The guides were very good in explaining how and where the research would be used.
I'd highly recommend this excursion as well, especially for it's small size. It was terrific! The guides were great with kids young and not so young.They did provide snacks but you would want to eat a big breakfast, we definitely got hungry. We got back to "town" in Juneau in time to meet up with DH and have a great lunch at Twisted Fish.

What Can You Do? Tips for Consumers
Studies suggest that more than one third of seafood is potentially mislabeled. So how will you know if you are being cheated? Price, season, preparation and the specific kind of seafood all affect the chances of fraud. If your seafood is out of season, processed instead of whole, and seems too good a deal to be true, it just might be.
1. Here are some questions you can ask your fishmonger or restaurant server about your seafood. Oceana is working to make sure this information is available for every piece of seafood you buy, whether in a restaurant or store.
- What kind of fish is this?
- Is this farmed or wild caught?
- Where was this fish caught?
- When was it caught?
- How was it caught?
- Was it previously frozen?
2. Some fish are more likely to be mislabeled.
Some fish are much more likely to be fraudulent. Be wary when ordering red snapper, wild salmon, grouper and Atlantic cod.
Several kinds of tuna are sold under one name, including yellowfin, bigeye, albacore, skipjack and sometimes even bluefin tuna. Whether in cans or at a sushi bar, it can be hard to tell which tuna you are eating from the flesh or the label. Many restaurants fail to explain which species is being sold, and those selling the severely overexploited bluefin tuna often conceal its identity or confuse the Atlantic and Pacific species of this fish.
See also our list of Commonly Mislabeled Seafood
3. Processed seafood is more likely to be fraudulent.
Processing removes the skin, head, and other parts of a fish used for identification, so fillets and prepared seafood offer more opportunities for fraud. For example, anglerfish are more likely to be mislabeled when sold in processed products than as whole fish.
Squid is easy to disguise because it is sold primarily in rings. More expensive Loligo species are often replaced with cheaper squid including Illex shortfin squid, flying squid, and jumbo Humboldt squid.
Processing can also mask the identity of shellfish. Clams are also vulnerable to seafood fraud because they are often combined with other ingredients and sold without shells.

When in Doubt, Don't Give it Out
Scams and crooked deals are everywhere today, often where we least expect it. When you're home answering the phone, browsing the Internet, checking the mail, or opening your door, scam artists and fraudulent operators look for ways to get your Social Security number and other private information. At every turn, you can protect yourself by following one easy principle. If someone contacts you and claims to need your private information, think twice and remember: when in doubt, don't give it out.
How it happens. Private information can be compromised in a number of ways. Most often, fraudulent operators pose as a legitimate source, such as your bank or a government agency. Some may even pose as a trusted local business, or as a friend or family member. All of these actors will try to get you to provide private information, such as your Social Security number, a bank account number, or a credit card number. Once you give it out, however, a scam artist may steal your identity and your money, opening lines of credit in your name or draining your accounts. Some crooked actors make deceptive claims and try to scare you into giving up your banking information. A legitimate source should not contact you to ask for private information up front. If you are unsure of who is contacting you, remember: when in doubt, don't give it out.
Over the phone. Consumers report receiving calls from individuals who claim to be many things they are not. Some scam operators pose as Medicare, Social Security, or an insurance company, claiming to send new benefit cards and needing to "verify" private information. Other scam callers claim to be from "Card Services" or from a credit card company, asking to "verify" similar private account information. Even more troubling, many consumers report receiving calls from impostors who try to pose as a loved one, asking for banking information or an unsecured money transfer. All of these calls involve a scam artist who is trying to gain your trust and your private information in order to take your money.
Cell phone customers also experience scams. Consumers report receiving text messages from scam artists and fake organizations claiming a need to "verify" their bank account, credit card, or other private information.
Telephone scams can be some of the most difficult to detect, because callers can seem very real and their need very urgent. Consumers must use caution whenever someone calls with a sense of urgency, needing their private information. Take time to verify the call with the help of a friend and through a trusted line of communication. Before providing any private information, remember: when in doubt, don't give it out.
On the Internet. Consumers increasingly face uncertainty when they shop or communicate online. Often the websites they visit collect personal information as they browse. Other sensitive information can be compromised in common email scams called "phishing." Similar to scam calls and text messages, a phishing email looks like it is from a legitimate source. The email presents an urgent need for your private information. Once you provide it, however, a scam artist on the other end will use it to commit fraud or identity theft.
Some consumers also report fraudulent activity with buyers and sellers on classified websites. Beware of any unsolicited request for private information on the Internet, especially if you do not know the source. If you arrive at an unfamiliar website or email, or if you are unsure of who is behind a request for information, remember: when in doubt, don't give it out.
In the mail. Some of the oldest and most destructive scams continue to be conducted via U.S. mail. These scams can involve fraudulent sweepstakes offers, fake checks, and other deceptive claims that seek to obtain private information or direct payment from your bank. Consumers have been led to believe they have prize winnings to collect, and many send away thousands of dollars without seeing a dime. A scam offer can be difficult to detect and nearly impossible to stop once anything is sent to an unknown source. The scammer usually works from outside the country, making it very difficult and expensive for law enforcement to investigate the crime. Beware of any mail that says you must provide private information or money to receive any type of claim. When an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you are ever asked to send private information or money to an unknown source, remember: when in doubt, don't give it out.
At your doorstep. Some deceptive actors may try to get your private information by visiting you in person. These individuals may use deception and fear, hoping you will give up private information or agree to a quick sale on the spot. Regardless of the offer, don't be afraid to say "no," and shut the door when you feel unsafe. If a salesperson wishes to do business with you, he or she should be willing to leave the company's information or contract behind for you to review. Rather than release private information on the spot, remember: when in doubt, don't give it out.
Honest businesses are often aware of the danger customers face with giving out private information, and few should actually require it. Some businesses such as banks, utility companies, and creditors do require certain information to do business. When this is the case, these organizations generally will not contact you in order to get it. Don't be rushed into doing business with any company before you have a chance to check it out.

Bought 4 boxes. Used ink jet to print and had not one second's problem. Came out beautiful. Used a notepad with the thinkness needed to tie the bow. Folded both sides of the bow where I was tying it and did a double knot tying once in one direction and once in another. It was very simple.My concern is postage. I weighed it and got 46 cents. Took to post office and they said 46 cents....then after contemplating said...well with the thickness of the bow, better make it 66 cents. Baa-humbug :) I figured if they didn't know how much, I would go with 46 cents. But I've seen several people note on the black and white exact same items they used 1.91 and 1.6? in postage. That is very strange. I'm sending one in the mail at 46 cents as a test :)

These invites look beautiful in the box but are INCREDIBLY hard to print on! I used three different printers including kinkos and still had a hard time! the bows are super short and almost impossible to make them like the one on the example! between printing cost and time it would have just made more sense to order them! These definitely aren't worth the stress they cause!

I loved the look of these invites in the store! However, if you use the ribbon as is your envelope will easily be over the 1-ounce limit for one first-class stamp by the time you include the RSVP/envelope and any other inserts. We cut the ribbons in half, folded them, glued them on the card with a paper-punched heart and they turned out well. I also had some trouble with the ink flaking on two different laser printers. A third printer worked just fine.

Dear HEALTHbeat subscriber,
Like coffee and alcohol, chocolate has long been considered a guilty pleasure that's probably best avoided. But, like those other former dietary "bad boys," chocolate has been partially redeemed in recent years by news of its health benefits — at least when consumed in moderation. This issue of HEALTHbeat explains what chocolate can do for your health, and what type is most beneficial. Also in this issue, Dr. Kenneth Arndt, editorial board member of the Harvard Health Letter, discusses what steps an exam for skin cancer should include.
Wishing you good health,
|Chocolate and your health — guilty pleasure or terrific treat?
The cacao bean, from which chocolate is made, is devilishly complex, containing more than 400 chemicals. Many of them can affect human biology and health. Whether chocolate is good or bad for you depends largely on the type of chocolate and the amount you consume.
Fats. About a third of the fat in cocoa butter is oleic acid, the very same monounsaturated fat that gives olive oil its good name. Another third is stearic acid; it is a saturated fat, but unlike the three other saturated fats in the human diet, stearic acid does not raise cholesterol levels because the body can metabolize it to oleic acid. And while chocolate also contains some palmitic acid, a saturated fat that does boost cholesterol, careful studies show that eating chocolate does not raise blood cholesterol levels.
Flavonoids. The humble cacao bean contains a number of chemicals in the flavonoid family. Polyphenols protect chocolate from turning rancid, even without refrigeration. Even more important are the flavanols, a group of chemicals that are responsible for many of the protective actions of chocolate. Flavanols are present in many healthful foods—like apples, cherries, and black tea—but dark chocolate is the richest source.
Amino acids. Chocolate is high in tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine. Like other amino acids, these nitrogen-rich compounds are the building blocks of all the body's proteins. But two of these amino acids have a unique property: they are precursors of adrenaline, a "stress hormone," and dopamine, a neurotransmitter that relays signals between nerve cells in the brain. Scientists postulate that dopamine induces feelings of pleasure. But these chemicals may also explain some of the adverse effects of chocolate, including its ability to trigger headaches in some migraine sufferers, its ability to raise blood pressure to dangerous levels in some patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors for depression, and its ability to instigate diarrhea, wheezing, and flushing in patients with carcinoid tumors, which are rare.
Methylxanthine. Chocolate contains two members of this group of chemicals. One is obscure, the other notorious — but both theobromine and caffeine have similar effects on the body. They may explain why chocolate makes some hearts beat faster — and why it gives many people heartburn by relaxing the muscle between the stomach and the esophagus, thus allowing acid to reflux up from the stomach into the sensitive "food pipe."
Sweet science
The flavonoids have many properties that might improve health. To see if they really work, researchers have studied foods ranging from apples to onions, and from tea to wine. And it's no surprise that chocolate has attracted the interest of scientists from around the world, giving the research an international flavor. Most studies concentrate on aspects of cardiovascular health; here are some representative findings:
Antioxidant activity. Antioxidants protect many of the body's tissues from damage by oxygen free radicals. Among other beneficial actions, flavonoids protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation, which puts the "bad" into "bad cholesterol." Here are two examples. Scientists from Italy and Scotland fed dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate and whole milk to healthy volunteers. Dark chocolate boosted the volunteers' blood antioxidant activity, but milk, either in the chocolate or a glass, prevented the effect. Similarly, researchers in Finland and Japan found that dark chocolate reduces LDL oxidation while actually increasing levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol, but white chocolate lacks both benefits.
Endothelial function. The endothelium is the thin inner layer of arteries. It's responsible for producing nitric oxide, a tiny chemical that widens blood vessels and keeps their linings smooth. Can chocolate help? Doctors in Greece think it may. They fed 100 grams (about 3½ oz) of dark chocolate to 17 healthy volunteers and observed rapid improvement in endothelial function. Swiss investigators found similar effects from dark chocolate. German scientists reported that flavanol-rich cocoa can reverse the endothelial dysfunction produced by smoking, and European doctors reported that dark chocolate appears to improve coronary artery function in heart transplant patients. There's good news for nonsmoking, original-heart people, too, since Harvard researchers found that cocoa can blunt the endothelial dysfunction associated with aging.
Blood pressure. Because good endothelial function widens blood vessels, it's logical that chocolate might help lower blood pressure. Studies show that dark chocolate can lower blood pressure in healthy adults and in patients with hypertension. Research shows that the effect is modest, however, lowering systolic pressure (the higher number recorded, when the heart is pumping blood) and diastolic blood pressure (the lower number, recorded while the heart is resting between beats) by just under 5 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). The benefit wears off within a few days of stopping "treatment" with a daily "dose" of dark chocolate. And another reality check comes from a six-week 2008 study of 101 healthy adults that did not find any benefit for blood pressure.
Insulin sensitivity. The sugar and calories in chocolate give people with diabetes good reason to eschew it. But an Italian study in nondiabetics suggested that dark, but not white, chocolate can improve insulin sensitivity. However, a small 2008 investigation of flavanol-enriched cocoa in diabetics found no improvement in blood sugar control or blood pressure.
Blood clotting. Most heart attacks and many strokes are caused by blood clots that form on cholesterol-laden plaques in critical arteries. These clots are triggered by platelets; the antiplatelet activity of aspirin explains its important role in patients with coronary artery disease. Researchers in Switzerland and the U.S. found that dark chocolate reduces platelet activation.
From lab to life
International experiments show that dark chocolate has an impressive array of activities: it is an antioxidant that may improve your cholesterol; it improves endothelial function and may lower your blood pressure; it is a sweet that may lower your blood sugar; and its antiplatelet activities could reduce your chances of developing an artery-blocking clot. Taken together, these properties could reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. But all of these hopeful results are based on short-term experiments in a small number of volunteers. Do these bits and pieces of data apply to real life? Perhaps.
Research suggests that chocolate may indeed have a role in promoting vascular health, but the devil is in the details. The first consideration is the type of chocolate. Dark chocolate appears beneficial, but milk chocolate, white chocolate, and other varieties do not. The second issue is calories. Most trials have used 100 grams of dark chocolate, the equivalent of eating about one-and-a-half chocolate bars of typical size. If you ate that much every day, you'd pack in more than 500 extra calories, enough to gain a pound a week.
If you're a chocolate lover, choose dark chocolate; the first listed ingredient should be cocoa or chocolate liquor, not sugar. Limit yourself to a few ounces a day, and cut calories elsewhere to keep your weight in line.

|What should an exam for skin cancer include?
Q: Since having a basal cell carcinoma removed from my forehead in 1992, I've gotten a full-body examination by a dermatologist every six months. In addition to the basal cell carcinoma, I've had several melanocytic nevi removed from my back, neck, and hairline.
I recently went to a new dermatologist. My previous exams had taken about half an hour. The doctor checked my entire body under bright lights, including looks between my toes and a careful inspection of my scalp, and a nurse noted mole measurements in my medical chart. My new dermatologist just took a quick look at my back, arms, and legs — he said there's no need to examine areas that wouldn't have been sunburned in the past — and no bright lights were used. I wonder what the standard is for a full-body exam.
A. There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. Basal cell is the least serious of these because it's the least likely to spread, or metastasize. There's no question that exposure to sunlight, particularly the ultraviolet (UV) portion of the light spectrum, is a risk factor for basal and squamous cell skin cancers. Both types occur on the head, the face, and other areas of the body that get lots of sun exposure.
People like you who have had basal cell skin cancer are supposed to come in regularly for skin cancer checks. The National Cancer Institute guidelines say basal cell patients should be examined every six months for five years and annually thereafter. The American Cancer Society's recommendations are similar. These aren't just exams for basal cell skin cancer. Doctors should be looking for signs of squamous cell skin cancer and melanoma, too, because, as I mentioned, the risk factors for the different kinds of skin cancer likely overlap and the same sorts of people are vulnerable. That means the doctor should examine not just the sun-exposed areas, but the entire body, including the back, the scalp, and between the toes, because melanoma can first appear in areas not exposed to the sun. The skin near the genitals and anus should also be inspected. In my office, we always ask patients who are getting a skin cancer exam to get into a hospital gown so the exam can be thorough.
So I think your current dermatologist is doing a cursory job. But from what you've said, it also seems like the previous one was going a bit overboard.
Half an hour is an awfully long time for a routine skin cancer exam; typically, my exams take 10 to 15 minutes. Good lighting is essential, but a doctor doesn't need any special equipment. And you may be coming in for exams too often. You had basal cell cancer more than 15 years ago. The guidelines I've mentioned recommend annual, not semiannual, exams.
In fact, as a practical matter, I and many other dermatologists examine basal cell cancer patients annually even within the first five years after their initial treatment. The exams are important — about 40% of people who have basal cell carcinoma will get a second lesion, although not in the same place, within three years after the first one is treated. But in my experience, it's hard enough to get busy people to come back for a check on a yearly basis.
You mention that you've had some melanocytic nevi removed. Melanocytic nevi is the medical term for moles, and by definition, moles are benign. Moles and their removal aren't a reason for having more frequent skin exams.
I'd talk to your current dermatologist about doing a more thorough exam for all sorts of skin cancer. But I'd also recommend getting that exam once — not twice — a year.— Kenneth A. Arndt, M.D.

Despite changing relatively little over the last 35 years, the humble 'pop-top' camper trailer remains one of the most popular choices when it comes to buyers of new RVs.That's the story at least from Victoria's biggest Jayco dealer, Page Bros RV, which sells up to 300 of the affordable 'wind-up' campers each year from its massive 28,500 square metre dealership in the Melbourne bayside suburb of Seaford.
While demand has dropped off for top-end luxury motorhomes since the Global Financial Crisis, entry-level camper trailers and budget caravans like the Starcraft and
family-focussed Expanda are selling like hotcakes at Page Bros, according to general manager Steven Page.
Also driving the budget end of the market is the increasing number of younger people and families who are choosing to go on camping holidays."My friends used to see (caravanning) as a bit of a joke when they were younger, but now that they're parents they're doing it," Mr Page said."A lot of younger people are getting into it... they start off with something small to get into the swing of it and then buy something bigger and take off around Australia.
"A big percentage of the population want to take off around Australia, it's something that's ingrained in our society I guess."
While the increased comforts and conveniences of modern caravans are a drawcard, some of the latest innovations have proved more popular than others. For example, Page Bros has seen more buyer interest so far in expensive new options like the 'double slide outs' available on both Sterling vans and motorhomes, than Jayco's $1000 electric winch option for camper trailers or $3000 automotive-style painted bodywork (see photo of Sterling van). "That's what's selling the best, the models with the two slide-outs," he said. "It's a form of Americanisation I guess, giving people plenty of space inside. Pretty much every caravan we sell has a slide-out, they love them." As one of Australia's most successful as well as oldest caravan dealers, Page Bros accounts for one in 10 Jayco RVs sold each year in Australia. The dealership wouldn't divulge exact figures, but it equates to about 900 sales a year based on Jayco annual production of 9000-plus units.
Page Bros has operated on the same site since the 1960s when Steven's dad, Trevor and his brother (who is no longer part of the business) started selling used caravans. As a dealer for Sunwagon among other brands, Trevor Page met Jayco founder Gerry Ryan, who was working in Sunwagon's factory at the time. A year after Jayco commenced manufacturing in 1975 Page Bros became one of the first Jayco dealers.The modern dealership now covers three blocks, with the front fence alone measuring 200m. The space is big enough to display around 180 new RVs (not to mention 200 used vans), including examples of every current Jayco caravan, motorhome, pop-top, camper and toy hauler, as well as most layouts and options."Everything's represented. We don't have the single bed version and the double bed version, but we've got everything they do," he said.
As buyers have become more discerning, he says it's important to offer a one-stop shop, and with 40 staff on site, indoor and outdoor displays, a huge spare parts and accessories section and large workshop, few visitors would leave disappointed."Everyone expects that now when they buy a caravan. They expect to get finance, insurance, parts..." he says.
While Steven has taken over day-to-day operations, his now 75-year old father still spends two or three days a week on-site, although that could change soon.
Trevor Page recently took delivery of a range-topping Jayco Optimum motorhome, with "two slide-outs, satellite and all the good gear", which he plans to drive to Queensland.

Castelli Toe Thingy $24.95
Hot foot is more than just a dance.
Balmy shoe covers aren't for everyone, especially when the weather doesn't warrant it. When the roads are wet, but the skies are clear, strapping on a full bootie is a recipe for hot, sweaty feet. That's why Castelli made the Toe Thingy. The Toe Thingy lets your feet breathe while protecting the front of the foot from water and wind.
Castelli's Toe Thingy is made from durable neoprene fabric. This material not only provides insulating warmth, but it also blocks water and wind on the most sensitive part of the foot—the toes. The Toe Thingy is secured to the shoe by an aperture that encompasses the cleat, and to resist rips, tears, and general wear, Castelli included a silicone print on the Toe Thingy's underside. For versatility, Castelli recommends using the cover alone on mild days, and as a layer between your shoe and full shoe cover during nasty weather.
The Castelli Toe Thingy is available in one size, and in the color Black.

Nice accessory!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Threw these on when the temps are 50-60's to keep the breeze off my toes and they do a good job. With wool socks they will save frozen toes. Like mentioned before, very easy to put on and take off. Seem to be good quality and are a nice in between instead my full shoe covers for cool days. For $20, everybody should have a pair!
Casey K.
So simple and so great!
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I purchased these in lieu of full shoe covers for a couple of reasons.
1. I had read that shoe covers can get too warm, and I hate sweaty feet.
2, The reviews below recommended them.
I haven't ridden in cool temps for many years, and recalled that it was not a pleasant experience. Since then, I have come to recognize and appreciate the value of having the right gear for the time of year.
These toe thingys are a great example of the right gear. I wore them yesterday for a ride in a brisk 41 degrees, and I actually marveled at my foot comfort. Warm, not hot toes, and a nice temp for the rest of my feet. To be fair, I also wore medium weight wool socks (not wanting to take any chances).
They are super easy to put on, and they look great. I'll just leave them on my shoes until it gets too cold and I'll get booties.
Based on my comfort factor at 41 degrees, I suspect these will be good into the low 30s (definitely wool socks, then).
Cozy Toes
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I got these when I bought a pair of triathlon shoes with no tongue which was leaving the tops of my feet exposed. They do a good job of keeping my feet warmer on cool fall and spring days 50's to 60's. For really cold days I go with a pair of full neoprene shoe covers.
Great for their purpose
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Been using these for a little more than a year in a variety of temps and they are great. I would say their effective range is low 40s to high 50s (maybe lower with a good pair of winter socks). They do exactly what you need them to do -- block the wind and take the edge off those chilly (not subzero) rides. Rode with them on in the high 30s the other day and the chill was a little much when starting out. Simple on/off but I just leave them on for most of the fall. Strongly recommend these as transitional weather shoe covers. Be warned, if you are looking for COLD weather covers, these are not the call.
Chris S
For those of us who are cheap :)
If you go hardcore into cycling, you realize the value of all the specialized bits of apparel. There are shoe covers for every occasion: speed, rain, cold, and cold and rain. The good ones, alas, don't come cheap. But there are alternatives that, while not necessarily ideal for all conditions, can help. That's where the toe thingy comes in.
If the road is wet or you're riding in a drizzle it'll do a good job keeping the leading edge of your foot dry, which is where you really feel the discomfort. The warming benefits seem to me to be fairly minimal given the amount of ventilation that my cycling shoe has, but the toe thingy delays the onset of cold feet a fair bit in temps down to the 40s (but really these are designed for milder temps). Where the toe thingy really shines is convenience. Unlike your typical shoe cover, it's a cinch to put on and you won't wear out any zippers or tear the neoprene on the ground walking around. Plus it doesn't cost much!

Smart Meal Plans for Type 2 DIABETES
Food plays an essential role in the health and well-being of people with type 2 diabetes. These specialized meal plans are designed to ensure effective control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels, as well as to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. All of this helps prevent the progression and complications of the disease.
These meal plans have been independently tested by the McGill University Health Center, in Montreal, Canada, as part of an 18-month clinical study on people with type 2 diabetes.
Good news for pregnant women also dealing with type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes, our pregnancy menus are also conceived to maintain well balanced blood glucose level.
They are based on the Mediterranean diet, contain mostly unprocessed foods, and meet all nutritional recommendations from the following respected sources:
Last but not least, these meal plans are updated every week to take advantage of seasonal produce and Flyer specials from your preferred local grocery stores, and are also available in Gluten and Lactose-free versions.
N.B. Consult your Doctor if you have a medical condition. We also recommend that you consult a Registered Dietitian and tell her/him that you follow the SOSCuisine Meal Plans.
Each week you will receive:Each week you will receive

Why are these Meal Plans SMART?Why are these Meal Plans smart?
Our Meal Plans are smart because they ensure, week after week, that you will:
Also, you'll be able to choose freely, and as often as you want, the calorie level (1,500, 1,700 or 2,100 calories) and the number of people (1, 2, 3, or 4). The quantity of each ingredient will then be automatically adjusted in the recipes and in the grocery list. You will also have access to Gluten and Lactose-free versions of the meal plans.
To find out what foods you will be getting in your meal plans, watch this video:
Why SOS Cuisine?
The recommendations for type 2 diabetes consist of 40 nutritional targets that must be attained every day.
Creating meal plans to meet these recommendations without assistance is difficult. Doing it week after week is even more so. That's where we come in, with our unique technology and our team of Dietitians.
SOUNDS COMPLICATED? Not with SOS Cuisine!
We provide you with meal plans that satisfy all the applicable nutritional recommendations, along with the recipes, which are quick and easy to prepare. You will be able to enjoy your food without any worries!
Why Meal Plans instead of just recipes?
Since the nutritional recommendations relate to daily and weekly intakes, it is not sufficient to look for 'Diabetes recipes'. For example, the distribution of Carbs during the day is very important.
Properly balanced Meal Plans are the only effective way to ensure that all nutritional recommendations are met. This is what you get week after week with SOS Cuisine. This way, you have support and you're not alone.
And your entire family benefits from a healthy lifestyle, because our type 2 diabetes Meal Plans are balanced and appropriate for everyone.

This allows for an effective control of blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure and body weight.
These 40 targets can be grouped as follows:

Bollywood's Water-ladies!
When Bollywood gets serious about getting sexy, it goes the distance to make its women super-hot!
Water's played a humongous role when it's come to some of the best scenes in cinema. all it has taken our luscious ladies to show off their Oomph-factor, be it Mandakini's stint under the water fall in Ram Teri Ganga Maili, which has a little more than her curves showing, to Zeenat Aman's introduction of a whole new kind of seduction in the rain with Satyam Shivam Sundaram.
Clothes clinging tight to their waists, translucent sarees and the ever-green magic of the rains. Even Smita Patil, who wouldn't otherwise be seen in raunchy numbers, can be seen in Aaj Rapat jaaye- a rain song alright!
'Sagar' had Dimple Kapadia rolling in the sea in 'Jaane do na'. Who wouldn't want to stop her from going? It'll be criminal to exclude Samundar Mein Nahaake- yes, a very namkeen Zeenat again, in Pukar with Amitabh and together they set the screen on fire
Of recent we have a drenched Minissha Lamba in Kidnap, and Priyanka Chopra walking out of the sea in Dostana. Anushka Sharma's flat tummy and slim waistline were accentuated in her out-of-the-blue (literally!) look from Badmaash Company.
Yes, our celluloid ladies do make quite an impression when emerging out of water.
From rain dances to waterfalls and rolling in the sea-waves, the point's clear: Bollywood's fascination with drenched ladies will not end!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (release) -- The Knoxville Ice Bears fell to the Columbus Cottonmouths 5-2 in front of a crowd of 2,391.
The Cottonmouths jumped out to an early two goal lead in the first period when Columbus' Matt Gingera scored a power play goal at 7:00 and Tom Fitzpatrick, nine minutes later, scored a fluke goal that eluded Ice Bears' netminder Connor Toomey.
The second period was a defensive struggle for both teams as no goals were scored. Knoxville registered two shots and Columbus sent five shots to the Knoxville cage.
The third period really opened up for both teams, all coming in a span of less than four min. Columbus struck first at 12:51 when Gingera notched his second goal of the game, putting the visitors up 3-0. Knoxville rookie Peter Neal killed the potential shut out for Cottonmouths' netminder Ian Vigier when he jammed home a loose puck at 15:18. Less than a minute later Cottonmouths' captain Sam Bowles broke in a two-on-one and made a veteran move to beat Toomey.
Knoxville jumped right back in the saddle :18 later when Neal notched his second goal of the game when he skated across the inside of the blue line and ripped a wristshot past an unset Vigier to cut the lead to 4-2. Knoxville looked to be on the comeback trail when Columbus' Levi Lind was whistled for roughing at 19:09 to put the Ice Bears on the power play. With goaltender Toomey pulled for an extra attacker, Knoxville skated the final minute with a 6-on-4 advantage.
Despite the two extra players on the ice for Knoxville, Columbus' Bowles cleared the zone on a desperation play and the puck trickled in the Ice Bears net to seal the game at 5 -2.
The Ice Bears will be back in action to host the Mississippi RiverKings for "Country Night" presented by Q-93 on Friday, Dec. 21. The evening will host three rising talents with Jessica Deason singing the National Anthem, Southern Drawl performing during the first intermission and Mark Cooke will play during the second intermission. Puck drops at 7:30 pm.

Why I liked this title:
It's the 1960s and the Civil Rights Movement is alive and well. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. is preaching non-violence. In Chicago, Roland Childs is continuing the work of Dr. King, leading non-violent protests along with his two sons, Stick and Sam. Stick begins to question the success of the non-violent movement and he becomes attracted to the Black Panther Party, a party that is working for the needs of black people but with a mix of violent and non-violent methods. Sam can't believe his brother is doing this, but when Sam falls for a girl who's brother is in the Panthers, Sam himself starts considering the Panther party. When decisions Stick and Sam make lead to violence, their family and their lives are changed forever.
This is such a compelling look at a challenging time in our history. It is a wonderful historical fiction book, great to read for a book report. The characters stay with you long after you have finished the book.

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene
BloggersPeter Gianotti Erica Marcus Joan Reminick Marjorie Robins
Roslyn Heights: Knockout kebab
I am fast becoming addicted to this jujeh kebab at Ravagh Persian Grill; last night was the second time in two weeks I've had it for dinner. It's a skewer of bone-in guinea hen chunks marinated in saffron and lemon and then grilled and served with char-grilled onion and tomato. It comes with regular basmati rice, but last night I ordered it with a "special" rice, punctuated with sweet and sour cherries. It was out of this world.
I had jujeh kebab on my mind because last week I sampled another one, far inferior, at Betty's, a new Persian restaurant in Great Neck (451 Middle Neck Rd., 516-487-3300). Betty's gratis dips (especially the hummus) were delicious, the Shirazi salad, refreshing. But the jujeh kebab had an off-taste and the rice was mushy.
Ravagh Persian Grill is at 210 Mineola Ave., Roslyn Heights, 516-484-7100.

Setting sag is the one thing that every rider thinks he can do but normally does wrong. You would think that making two measurements and subtracting one from the other would be simple. Not so! Here are some tips.
(1) Do not measure the sag with the rider standing up.
(2) Bounce on the suspension before measuring.
(3) Sit where you actually ride, not some dream position.
(4) Measure in line with the arc of the rear wheel.
How do you measure sag? Put your bike on a stand with the rear wheel off the ground, and measure from the rear fender to the rear axle. Write that number on your buddy's forehead. Next, remove the bike from the stand and climb on board. Once you are positioned on the bike, have your buddy make the same measurement again. Subtract the new number from the one written on his forehead. The result should be 4 inches or 100mm, whichever comes first.
What should you do if it isn't 100mm? Loosen the shock's preload ring and turn the collar in the proper direction to make the spring stiffer or softer. Then, measure again and again until you get 100mm.
We know this sounds like a broken record, but that is better than a broken bone. Check your sag before each race. It changes. One caveat: do not check the sag when the shock is hot?and it gets hot very quickly. If you've just ridden your bike in the first practice and think that you should check the sag before the second practice, save yourself the trouble. The hot shock will not give you an accurate measurement. Wait until the shock cools down. You can use sag as a tuning tool. Jeremy McGrath liked to set his sag at more than 100mm. Why? He wanted the rear shock to feel dead in the whoops. On the other hand, setting the sag at less than 100mm can make your bike handle quicker in the turns, because it raises the rear of the bike, which steepens the head angle. As a rule of thumb, every MXA test rider starts at 100mm, and most stay there.
Free sag is a measurement of how much the bike sags under its own weight (without you on it). Free sag can only be checked after race sag is set.
How do you check free sag? Once you have the preload set at 100mm for your weight, position the bike on level ground, grab the bike under the rear fender and lift up?like you are going to pick the bike up off the ground. Did you feel the shock move? How far could you lift the rear fender up before the rear wheel tried to leave the ground? Was it 25mm? Was it 3mm? The amount of slop in the rear end is called "free sag."
How much free sag should there be? Free sag should be between 30mm and 40mm. If you have more than 40mm of free sag, your shock spring is too stiff. Less than 30mm and your spring is too soft.
This is so important and so basic that you need to repeat after us: if you have excess free sag, your shock spring is too stiff. Now ask yourself, why? That's simple; you haven't been eating enough. Gain weight and you will have to preload the shock spring more, which will take up the excess free sag. If you don't want to pork up, you should consider a lighter shock spring.
If you have very little free sag, your shock spring is too soft. Why? Because to hold your body up, the shock spring has to be preloaded way down into its stroke. It is overstressed, so overstressed that it is working overtime to hold up the bike; thus it has no jangle left in the rear end. The solution? Buy a stiffer shock spring (or go on a diet).
Race sag and free sag are kissin' cousins. Once you set the proper 100mm of race sag, you need to measure the free sag. If your bike has more than 40mm of free sag, you need a softer shock spring. If it has no static sag, you need a stiffer shock spring. Many times a rider will set the race sag at 100mm and find out that he has no static sag at all, but he wants to race the bike. What should he do? Back the race sag off until there is at least 10mm of static sag. Free sag trumps race sag in this extreme condition.
