I stumbled across Fit & Active Nonfat Yogurt in an Aldi supermarket close to me a few weeks ago, and was immediately drawn to the two flavors I saw in the store - Cherries Jubilee and Strawberry Cheesecake. I ultimately opted for the latter; how can I pass up cheesecake?! And each 6 ounce container was only 50 cents! Too sweet a deal to resist.
I brought my yogurt home and dug in right away. I spooned up a bit of the yogurt to taste it and my first impression was: this is some good dee-ee-licious strawberry yogurt. But wait ... isn't this supposed to be a strawberry cheesecake flavor?! I didn't taste the cheesecake at all, except maybe this yogurt was a little creamier than other strawberry yogurts - but definitely nowhere near a real cheesecake flavor. This is just as underwhelming as Breyers Light Boosts Immunity Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt.
Each 6 ounce serving of Fit & Active Nonfat Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt provides 100 calories, no fat, 11 grams of sugar and 6 grams of protein. That's pretty standard for nonfat yogurt. FYI: this is made with aspartame.
The bottom line: this isn't reminiscent of cheesecake in any way. I might just buy this again if it's the cheapest option, but if I need a strawberry yogurt, there are so many choices - like Breyers YoCrunch Light Strawberry Yogurt and Dannon Light n Fit 0% Plus Strawberry Yogurt.

About Jonathanrmanion's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
Oh man i sometimes I think I was born with Racing fuel running through my veins, when i was little my mom had a 1971 Mach 1 with a 302 boss manual(can't remember if it was a 3 or 4 speed mom's was one and dad's was the other), my dad had a 1967 Fastback Gt with a 302 manual (dad's had a 3 or 4 ) and i remember standing up and tellin em to go faster, so they'd gun it and it'd push me back into the seat. So i've always loved fast cars, around about the time i finished hand sanding my first truck my Cousin had a bad ass 1972 ish Gun Metal gray Nova that he got to dip down into the 10 second 1/4 mile and i remember him bringing it over one night with it let me check it out, and when he left n just tagged the gas a bit turnin around and it would almost lift the front tires off the ground seein that , the straight nasty rumble of his car and me working on my truck reignited my passion for cars from a small amber into a full blown obession for anything american with a v8 and sexy body lines.
My first car
My first car was actually a pick up, 1978 F-150 XLT Ranger - single cab long bed that was about three different colors, it was a two tone truck with tan on the top and bottom with a creme vanilla color between the crome down the sides and had odd colored red doors. we called it fred. My dad bought from a second hand dealership in my home town to drive back and forth to work. Had a 400M and a C4 tranny auto column shift. dad drove it for a quite a few years. When my parents got a divorce he drove for a while longer then got a 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab Shortbed, and gave me Fred as a gift (around about the time i was 13). Which thankfully he did cause a few months later mom's new car got repo'ed and my truck was the family grocery getter and mom's way to work. But i grew tired of it being muit colored and a friend of the family taught me how to block sand the rust off and cut out the cancer from the wheel wells, we bondo'ed it and reinforced the bondo with chicken wire. smoothed it all out and he showed me how to shoot primer and let paint it all flat black. He said hand sanding would make me appreciate it more and looking back it did. It had straight pipes with some long glass packs, man that thing was gloriously loud! Some of my buddies i ain't seen in years ask me if i still have it, cause i really loved that pick-up. That old truck would fire up when nothing else would, just a few pumps of the gas and it would roar to life. Mom had some headwork done really brought it to life. It was a one wheel wonder but i remember smoking that tire off for an entire block. Mom taught me how to cut kitties in empty parking lots, The whole time my dad had it the radio never worked, and he just figured it didn't work, but one day i felt frisky and torn the radio out and yahoo'd how radios were wired and i'll be damned if it just wasn't hooked up right. So once i got the radio working i had a fever for some serious jams! I wasn't long before the old radio got replaced with a decent pioneer Cd player, upgraded door speakers, 6x9's behind the seat with an amp and two 10" subs! The radio rivaled our home surround system and i loved it! But as all good thing usually get ended one day mom's cousin asked to barrow it for 3 hours so he could move out of a house. Three days later i was jammin out on the computer (we had a bad to the bone surround sound system hooked up to it) and i saw my truck pullin up out back Scott came in and set the keys on the kitchen table and left, as i got up to take my truck for a spin i saw him kickin up gravel leaving, but i didn't think any thing of it since he was kinda awnery anyways. but when i hopped in fred to fire it up , it just made a clank noise...... He had ran it too hard while it was low on oil and F.U.B.A.R. ed my engine! I was super pissed since i was 6 months from driving it to High School. Mom called him and he said he knew of a 351W that he could get us real cheap! Bastard even had the balls to say he "could help put it in",,,, so when we moved to towanda we dragged it with us, but one day i went to school after having a big fight with mom i come home from school to find my truck gone and mom sayin she sold it for 150 bucks! needless to say i miss that truck and i'll forever have a soft spot for 70's ford pick-ups.
Car I wish I still had
My 1978 Ford F-150!

That is a hard one, i love all muscle cars, but if i had to try and narrow it down i would say Either a 1967 Shelby G.T. 500 or a 1969 Mach 1

Dual Car Charger with Lightning to USB Cable (10 Watt/2.1 Amp Per Port)
Charge Two Devices At Once
Charge two devices at once, including the latest generation Apple devices, while on the road. The Belkin Dual Car Charger with included Lightning to USB cable gives you unlimited play and standby time while in the car, and keeps you and a passenger fully charged wherever you go.
Works with: iPad mini, iPhone 5, iPod touch (5th generation), iPod nano (7th generation), iPad (4th generation)
Includes Removable Lightning To USB Cable
The Belkin Dual Car Charger comes with a 4-foot Lightning to USB cable, so you can charge your Lightning connector devices at the fastest possible speed. The smaller, more durable Lightning connector is reversible, which makes plugging it in easier than ever. And because it's removable, the cable can be used anywhere—plug it into your laptop to charge and sync, or use your own wall charger to charge from the wall. Great as a replacement cable or if you simply need an extra.
Universal USB 2.0 Ports
The USB 2.0 Ports are universal, so you can still charge your legacy Apple devices with a 30–pin cable or other devices that use a Micro–USB cable. And you never have to share the power with your passengers—just plug in and power up at the same time.
Small, Compact and Easy To Use
The low–profile design fits easily in your dash without getting in the way of your other controls. Rubber grips make it easy to insert and remove the Dual Car Charger, and the blue indicator light ring lets you know the charger is fully plugged in and your device is charging.
Case Compatibility
Depending on the type of case you have, you may need to remove your case before charging. If your speakers, Lightning connector port and AUX port are fully exposed when your case is on, you should be able to easily charge your device without removing the case.

Start-Ups: Silicon Valley Ep. 8 -- the grand delusion
Last night saw some history in "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley."
Yes, given its rather tawdry ratings -- 20 percent of those of "Real Housewives," so rumor has it -- this could be the last episode ever. So the excitement was more palpable than that for the discovery of the tomb of a hitherto unknown ancient Egyptian king.
We began with grunting. Yes, Sarah (blonde lifecaster, recently recovering from not having breast cancer) and David (gay, vaguely sane) are working out.
Sarah has found a wonderful sponsor for the launch party of David's app. It's called … Read more

The Brewers are former stars of pro wrestling
Baseball March 2nd, 2010
It is officially my favorite time of the year.
The weather is slowly starting to get better, spring training has begun and Wrestlemania is right around the corner. Yeah, I said Wrestlemania. Just like everyone that didn't get laid enough wrestling was a big part of my life growing up. I mean, who didn't have a Stone Cold, Rock or nWo t-shirt in that sweet 97-2000 period? Losers, that's who. This should come as no surprise to any of you really. After all, Miller Park Drunk WAS the site that originally suggested the Ultimate Warrior theme for Todd Coffey and we all know how that turned out.
I don't watch as much wrestling as I did back then, but I usually always end up checking it out around Wrestlemania time. If you're looking for a good show, it's a pay-per-view that never lets you down unlike the majority of boxing and the occasional UFC PPVs I have watched over the years (one of the many positives of watching a fake sport.) Sure, there is still some stupid stuff on the show like last year's 20 minute Kid Rock concert, but overall at the end of the show I always feel as if I've gotten my money's worth and it's a perfect set-up drinking-wise for Opening Day. Last season was the perfect storm for my Wrestlemania/baseball orgy as Wrestlemania was Sunday, I went to Twins Opening Day on Monday and then made it home Tuesday for the Brewers first game of the season. Just a great three days of drinking, sporting, hanging with my friends and, of course, drinking. It's spread a bit further out this year, but for some strange reason nothing gets me ready for baseball season like Wrestlemania.
Now all these thoughts of wrestling and baseball have me mixing up the two. Was it Kane that Tombstoned Pete Rose or was that Richie Sexson? Who won 1992 Rookie of the Year for the Brewers, Pat Listach or The Repo Man? The more I thought about it, the more I realized that the reason I am confusing the two so much is because they are so much alike. Richie Sexson was who he was because of his size, just like Kane. Pat Listach basically stole the Rookie of the Year award from Kenny Lofton and then disappeared a few years later because he wasn't that good, just like the Repo Men basically stole people's cars and disappeared because he wasn't that good. (Sidenote: how did Listach get so many at-bats in 96-97? He was awful, I'm talking Shockmaster awful.) The comparisons are endless. However, for the purposes of this article we'll be limiting the comparisons to players currently on the team. So without any further adieu I present to you...

1New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens, Flushing, NY, USA, 2Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Introduction: According to the published appropriateness criteria, evaluation of left ventricular (LV) function in patients with heart failure is an uncertain indication for Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR). However, in addition to assessment of LV function, other ancillary findings on a cardiac MRI study may alter management decisions in patients with heart failure. An example is the extent of delayed enhancement, which has been shown to be a major prognostic indicator in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM).
Purpose: We hypothesize that a CMR study often provides information that alters the course of management in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 112 consecutive patients who underwent CMR with or without gadolinium at our center from June 2007 to April 2008. Forty-three patients were diagnosed as having a cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy was defined as a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 50%. Twenty-four of these patients were diagnosed with NICM. All patients with NICM had previous negative evaluation for coronary artery disease.
Cardiac MRI study: After performing standard localizer images, ECG-gated breath-hold segmented k-space SSFP images were obtained in standard projections. T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and delayed enhancement images were also performed.
Results: A total of 24 patient studies were examined, including 10 males and 14 females with a mean age of 52± 16 years. Average LVEF was found to be 33 ± 13 (%). Of these, 7 (29%) had significant management changes and therapeutic interventions guided by the CMR results. Six patients had evidence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and in one patient gadolinium was not given due to renal insufficiency. In this patient, T2-weighted images revealed evidence of increased signal intensity suggestive of myocardial inflammation. The results of CMR in these patients and specific management changes are summarized in table 1.
Table 1: Description of seven patients with NICM in which CMR revealed a specific diagnosis and changed management course
Patients/ CMR diagnosis/ Evidence of LGE/ Management
Patient 1/ Newly diagnosed constrictive pericarditis/ Present/ Surgical evaluation for pericardial stripping
Patient 2/ Newly diagnosed cardiac sarcoidosis/ Not performed due to renal insufficiency (T2 weighted imaging shows evidence of increased signal intensity/ suggestive of myocardial inflammation)/ IV Steroids
Patient 3/ Newly diagnosed cardiac sarcoidosis/ Present/ IV steroidsICD implantation
Patient 4/ Newly diagnosed non-compaction cardiomyopathy/ Present/ Electrophysiologic evaluation
Patient 5/ Large left ventricular thrombus/ Present/ Urgent surgical evaluation
Patient 6/ Newly diagnosed cardiac amyloid (AL-type by kidney biopsy)Newly diagnosed large bilateral pleural effusions with collapsed left lung/ Present/ Urgent thoracocentesis and further evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis
Patient 7/ Myocarditis with large right pleural effusion/ Present/ Aggressive diuresis and management of myocarditis
Conclusions: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a useful tool in the management of patients with NICM. In our case review, approximately one-third of the patients had significant management changes guided by the CMR results, and almost all patients had presence of late gadolinium enhancement.

It's Friday, let's have fun with numbers
Baseball June 19th, 2009
Okay, I think I am a bit calmed down now.
Just a few numbers to fill your head over the weekend because as everyone knows if there is one thing that goes good with heavy drinking, it's numbers.
96: Games left in the season. This seems like a lot, but trust me it's a big frown face for me. I haven't even went swimming yet!
5000+: Visitors so far in June. That's kind of a lot. Thanks a lot.
0: Of those 5000+ who would rather live in Detroit. Man, Detroit sucks. A couple of my buddies went out there for the series because they go to an out of town series every year and all I could say to them was "WHY?" I get the whole "never been there before and want to see their stadium thing", but Detroit is the pits.
35-31: Brewers Pythagoraen record. Same as the Cardinals. This means something, but I have no idea what.
14-15: Brewers record since Rickie Weeks last game. JUST SAYING.
73/274: Combined home runs and RBIs Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun are on pace for. Thatsalottaruns. Fielder is on pace for most RBIs by an NL player since 2001. NICE. (Useless knowledge that I know: For those curious the HR record for teammates is 115 by Maris/Mantle in 1961.)
3: Times I've watched Hitch in the past week. No, I am not proud of this.
.250: Mike Cameron's current batting average. Hey, I told you this would happen.
250: The number of facebook fans we need to reach before giving away another two tickets. I think I set this number kind of low since we're already over 200, but whatever. I'll give it to next Friday and if we top 300, we'll have a secondary prize. If you're already a fan, you're already in. If you're not, click here to become a fan. Follow us on Twitter while you're at it.
That's about all I've got for you this week. We'll be working on getting some more cool stuff up here for next week. More comics (although that artist WAS a bit expensive), more Brewers Baby (if his mom says it's okay), LOLBREWERS and some other crazy stuff we haven't even come up with yet. You keep reading and telling your friends, we'll keep doing our thing (and if you're looking for tickets check out our sponsor Cheap Milwaukee Brewers Tickets). Now if you'll excuse me I haven't drank since Monday (!) and that's about four days too long.

A combine caught on fire Saturday afternoon on Bishop Road Extended.
District 1 of the BCVFD responded to the call at 3 p.m.
The fire began at the rear engine compartment and over half of the combine was destroyed.
"It was where the hydraulic fluid is and the diesel tank is so all of the fuel was out in the field too," said Bolivar County Fire Chief Lee Tedder.
Tedder said there was no definite understanding of what caused the fire.
"It could have been a bearing that went out or a hydraulic leak, the list goes on and on," said Tedder.
On Sunday, BCVFD Districts 1 and 5 responded to a house fire in Choctaw at 311 Miss. Highway 450 at 7:30 p.m.
The fire was contained to the bedroom where it was believed to have started.
There were no injuries, however there was smoke and water damage to the rest of the house.
The fire lasted approximately an hour and fifteen minutes.

MORRISSEY: Sixth straight loss to Packers signals it's time for change
BY RICK MORRISSEY firstname.lastname@example.com December 16, 2012 9:48PM
Bears receiver Brandon Marshall and quarterback Jay Cutler stay warm as time runs down in the fourth quarter of the Chicago Bears 21-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers Sunday December 16, 2012 at Soldier Field. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times

Change is coming to the Bears. It has to be.
You don't lose to your archrivals six consecutive times and stand still. You don't play as poorly as the Bears did Sunday and have people hold on to their jobs.
Receiver Brandon Marshall, bless him, seems to understand that right down to his soul. On the verge of tears after the Packers'
21-13 victory, he cut short a postgame news conference and walked away from the lectern. That he's in his first season with the Bears should shame the people who have been around here a long time. He grasps the emotion of the rivalry. He gets what's at stake here. I'm not sure some others do.
''It's the same thing every single game,'' Marshall said. ''We need to be held accountable. What I've got to do is I've got to try my best to keep it together and not let this affect me. Because it's starting to affect me more than it should. I love this game. I'm very passionate about this game, and right now it's affecting me way too much. I'm trying my all to do my job. That's it.''
With that, he walked away, three questions and less than a minute into his session with reporters.
Losing at home to the Packers will do that to someone who cares. As far as the specifics of what was bothering Marshall, we'll have to hazard a few guesses.
The Packers ran 71 plays; the Bears ran 48. The Packers were 7-for-17 on third-down conversions; the Bears were 0-for-9. The Bears had to settle for a field goal after getting to the Packers' 1-yard line on second down late in the third quarter.
All that should be enough to bring a caring Bear to the point of tears.
Perhaps Marshall didn't fully understand what he was up against with this franchise and this season until Sunday. He had called out the Packers' defensive backs during the week, in essence putting all the pressure on himself. He might have been under the impression his teammates were going to raise their games when, in reality, they were suffering from catastrophic hydraulic problems.
If the Bears win their last two games — at the Cardinals and at the Lions — they will have a 10-6 record. Does this look or feel anything like a 10-6 team? Bill Parcells used to say you are what your record says you are. Had he watched these Bears with any regularity, though, he would have claimed he was misquoted.
The Bears lost by eight points, and it might as well have been 80 or 800. That's how it felt. Even when the Packers inexplicably, incomprehensibly and just plain stupidly tried a backward pass on a punt return and lost the ensuing fumble in the fourth quarter — with an 11-point lead! — it never felt anything like a momentum shift. It felt like a dead horse and a bone-dry canteen in a desert.
The offensive line isn't good, Jay Cutler and Matt Forte are what they are and the intersection of all that is the mediocrity that was visited upon Soldier Field on Sunday. That's how a 7-1 record has turned into an 8-6 record.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers looked rusty at the start, but he was 23-for-36 for 291 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions at the end. That's how a team wins the NFC North title on the road.
What you really need to know about the Bears on Sunday took place hundreds of miles from Chicago. The Redskins won with a backup quarterback. The Vikings won without a quarterback, period. Both those teams are fighting for their playoff lives. The Bears are fighting to stay awake. Their two remaining games, both against lower-tier teams, aren't givens. Not even the Cardinals, who lost 58-0 on Dec. 9 to the Seahawks.
That's where the Bears are, friends.
Coach Lovie Smith is the one who put a premium on the rivalry against the Packers. He's the one who said beating the Packers was the most important thing for the franchise each season. So now he has lost eight of the last nine to the Packers, dropping his career record against them to 8-11.
''You don't want to lose to your rival year in, year out,'' Cutler said. ''Then it's not a rivalry anymore. It's a domination.''
Time for change. I can hear it approaching. It sounds a lot like the Packers' fight song.

Sometimes I build robots that attempt to solve real world challenges. Other times, robots are built based on random ideas. This robot is a case of solving a LEGO challenge – specifically, with their Technic tracks/treads #575518. At no fault of theirs, these plastic tracks are slippery on many surfaces. Great for carpets, flat areas, dirt (if you dare) – and great for turning as well. However, when you try to climb with them, they are as slick as ice.
If you Google them, you will find some great ideas on making these treads more 'sticky'. Some have used 1/2 Technic pins (which fit nicely into the supplied holes), others have used elastics wrapped around them – all great ideas that work fine. I attacked the challenge from a different angle. The result is DG – or Dual Grip (yes, the name is somewhat plain). DG went through numerous revisions as I worked out kinks related to weight, stability, traction, sensors, flex etc. At the bottom I have included some pictures on previous versions of DG – some changes significant, others subtle.
The idea was to have a treaded robot that could navigate varying terrain, turn quickly and of course, climb. Based on my experience with my other robots using the same tracks (eg UNV and DynaTrax), I found that they were not very good when it came to inclines. I figured that the LEGO rubber wheels have great traction on most surfaces, so why not slap a set of them along with the treads. However, this posed another challenge. I did not want both wheel systems in contact with the ground at all times as this would make turning tougher and be redundant.

Updates on the state nutrient strategy, and contracts for environmental monitoring and regulatory assistance will be on the June 19 agenda for the Environmental Protection Commission meeting in Windsor Heights.
At 2 p.m., Adam Schnieders from DNR, Dean Lemke from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and Dr. Tom Isenhart from Iowa State University will discuss work in progress on Iowa's nutrient strategy.
In other business, commissioners will be asked to approve the intended use plan for the state revolving fund (SRF), which provides low interest loans for drinking water, wastewater, storm water and nonpoint source water quality projects. Included in the plan is a proposal for a small or emergency loan fund to be used for water and wastewater emergencies.
Another SRF proposal would allow utilities to pay part of the interest rate into a watershed restoration project instead of paying it back into the loan fund. The DNR is seeking approval of a pilot watershed project in Dubuque. The city is reopening Bee Branch Creek, once buried underground in storm sewers. As the city repays state revolving fund loans with a reduced interest fee, some of the interest would fund pervious pavement in downtown alleys, allowing rainwater to infiltrate the soil, instead of flooding the newly restored creek.
Some other contracts up for the commission's approval include funding for ambient air quality monitoring, small business assistance on regulations, water monitoring, and the Iowa Waste Exchange, which matches owners of used and unwanted items with people who can recycle or add value to the items.
The regular meeting will begin at 10 a.m. at the DNR Air Quality Building, 7900 Hickman Road. Public participation is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Appointments are scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. for referrals to the Attorney General.
The complete agenda follows:
Find more information on the EPC agenda items at www.iowadnr.gov/epc/index.html.
The members of the commission are David Petty, Eldora, Chair; John Glenn, Centerville, Vice-Chair; Mary Botte, Des Moines, Secretary; Dee Bruemmer, Davenport; Nancy Couser, Nevada; Cindy Greiman, Garner; Delores Mertz, Ottosen; Brent Rastetter, Ames; Max Smith, Knoxville; and Marty Stimson, Cedar Rapids. The director of the DNR is Chuck Gipp.
