Earlier in the week Team Titleist brought you a slideshow and detailed the seeding process for the new prototype Titleist 913 fairways and hybrids on the European Tour.
We caught up with Titleist ambassadors Peter O'Malley, Martin Wiegele and Simon Thornton after the work they had done with Titleist Tech Reps Phil Dimmock and Mattias Jelver on the range at St Andrews during the Dunhill Links Championship.
The reaction was unanimously positive and, although this was the first stage of the testing and tour validation process, it was hugely encouraging that 15 players (including Martin and Simon) put one or more of the products straight into play.
To see what they had to say, just click on the video above.
We'll bring you more player feedback and a summary of the process from Titleist Tech Rep Phil very soon.

You've probably already noticed that department stores and supermarkets are already gearing up for Christmas! But what will be under the tree when you wake up on Christmas morning? More socks? Another CD that would be better used as a drinks coaster?
If you're looking to drop hints to your loved ones or if you're looking for the perfect gift for the avid golfer in your life, what better gift than a dozen (or more) personalised Titleist golf balls?
And from now until December 10, you can add personalisation to your Titleist golf ball order for free - the free printing programme is available on all Titleist golf balls, including the legendary Pro V1 and Pro V1x models.
You can also choose from the new 2012 top-grade line-up of Titleist golf balls, including the NXT Tour, NXT Tour S, Velocity and DT SoLo. Each model has been individually designed to deliver the best in category for quality and consistency, while providing a range of performance and preference options to meet every golfer's needs.
And the personalisation can be anything from a golfer's initials, to their nickname or even a special Christmas message - printed in black capitals, with up to three lines and a maximum of 17 characters per line.
To make the gift even more special, each dozen ordered will include a Titleist ball marker and will be packed in a specially designed Christmas wrap - the perfect festive touch.
With a minimum order of just one dozen, the closing date for pre-Christmas delivery is December 10 - simply contact your PGA pro or authorised Titleist retailer to place your order.
*Acushnet Europe Ltd reserves the right to refuse printing of a message onto a Titleist or Pinnacle golf ball.
Since their introduction to the worldwide professional tours, Titleist 913 drivers have been widely accepted by some of the best players in the world. There are now over 100 players teeing up 913 drivers across the worldwide tours and a number of these players have already entered the winner's circle with the new driver in play. To date, Titleist 913 drivers have recorded 11 tournament victories across five different professional tours.
And now, golfers in the UK and Ireland can dial in their SureFit Tour settings and get fitted into 913D2 or D3 at any of the four Titleist National Fitting Centres - St Ives (Hunts) Golf Club in Cambridgeshire, Kings Acre Golf Club in Midlothian, G.U.I. National Academy at Carton House in County Kildare and The Celtic Manor Resort in Newport.
Fitting appointments can now be booked Monday to Friday (Monday and Thursday only for The Celtic Manor Resort) via your PGA pro or authorised Titleist retailer. Orders can then be placed by your pro or Titleist retailer for shipping during w/c 5 November.
The 913 family of drivers features the innovative SureFit Tour hosel, as well as a new face insert which produces faster ball speeds across the clubface and makes the 913D2 & D3 the most forgiving drivers Titleist has ever made.
The 460cc 913D2 and 445cc 913D3 have been designed to offer total performance, with both producing the same launch and spin characteristics which, coupled with an extensive matrix of shaft options, maximises fitting flexibility. The 913D2 offers a slight draw bias over the 913D3 which plays with a more neutral set up for those that prefer workability. While the 913D2 is the more forgiving of the two club-heads, both 913 models offer excellent levels of forgiveness and provide a superior blend of performance that will benefit all serious golfers!
So get in touch with your pro or authorised Titleist retailer to book your appointment to be fit for for the new Titleist 913 driver - more speed, more distance, more performance.

Titleist ambassador James Kingston was first up to be fit for the prototype 913F and 913Fd - and loved the launch!
Following the successful seeding of 913D2 and D3 drivers, which started on the European Tour at the French Open in July, the Titleist Tour Team began the tour seeding and validation process for the prototype Titleist 913F and 913H metals at the Dunhill Links Championship last week.
Team Titleist was on hand to capture the process and player feedback on the new prototype 913 fairways and hybrids.
With gusting wind, rain, sunshine, hailstones and tight lies challenging the players, the initial reaction to the prototype 913F, 913Fd, 913H and 913Hd metals was very positive - so much so that 15 players put one or more of the clubs straight into play on the testing links tracks.
Titleist Tour Technicians Phil Dimmock and Mattias Jelver spent three days on the range at St Andrews working with Titleist ambassadors to dial in their optimum SureFit Tour settings - as the first stage of the seeding process for 913 metals on the European Tour.
"The weather was definitely a good test for the prototype 913 fairways and hybrids," explains Phil. "The wind was either following or off the right on the range, which would normally make launching the golf ball more of a challenge.
"However, nearly all of the players that we worked with commented on how well they were able to get launch angles up, even from the tightest of lies. Coupled with lower spin and a hotter face, the results were very positive."
And this improved launch and overall performance clearly hit home with lots of players as 15 Titleist ambassadors - including Jbe Kruger, Victor Dubuisson, Bernd Wiesberger, Thomas Levet, Matteo Manassero, James Kingston, Brett Rumford and Ken Ferrie - put one or more 913 fairways and hybrids into play at the Dunhill Links Championships.
The seeding, testing and validation process continues in earnest this week at the Portugal Masters, as Phil and Mattias Jelver will work further with players to evaluate the variety of options that the SureFit Tour Hosel system presents.
We'll bring you more reaction to the seeding and tour validation of the prototype 913 fairways and hybrids in another Team Titleist blog post soon!
To view the slideshow, simply click on the image above.
It's been a hugely busy week for the Titleist Tour Teams around the globe, with prototype Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls being seeded for performance validation on the PGA Tour and prototype 913F and 913H metals being seeded on the European Tour.
And as this performance validation began, Titleist golf balls were the overwhelming choice of more players across all tours - including 18 players who put the prototype Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls straight into play at the JT Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

PGA: Titleist Pro V1 golf ball loyalist Ryan Moore birdied the par-5 16th hole to take the outright lead and then closed with consecutive pars en route to a 24-under 260 total and a one-shot victory at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Titleist Brand Ambassador Brendon de Jonge (Pro V1x, 913D3 driver, 913F fairway metal, AP2 irons, Vokey Design Spin Milled pitching, sand and lob wedges, Scotty Cameron Kombi putter) was just one shot back in second and Pro V1x loyalist Jonas Blixt finished solo third at 20-under, as Titleist players finished 1-2-3 on the leaderboard.

In its first week available on the PGA TOUR in October of 2000, 47 players switched to the new Pro V1 golf ball, including the winner and four of the top six finishers.Among the top finishers 12 years ago was Chris DiMarco, who tied for 5th place after a closing with a 63 for a 25-under par 335 total in the five-round, 90-hole event. DiMarco, a Titleist golf ball loyalist throughout his professional career, switched again this week, this time to the new Pro V1 prototype golf ball. He was one of 18 players participating in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open who put the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x prototype golf balls to the ultimate test at the first event in which they were available for competition.Below is a list of players, including Bill Lunde, who put the new Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x prototypes in play at Las Vegas this week: Pro V1 (4): Chris DiMarco, Ken Duke, Charley Hoffman, Tim Clark Pro V1x (14): Blake Adams, Arjun Atwal, Cameron Beckman, Jason Bohn, Michael Bradley, Bart Bryant, Angel Cabrera, Gavin Coles, Martin Flores, Bobby Gates, Jr., Mathew Goggin, Bill Lunde, John Merrick and Scott Stallings.

EUROPEAN: For the Titleist Tour Team, the Dunhill Links Championship marked the start of the seeding and tour validation process for the prototype 913F and 913H metals on the European Tour. Some 15 players, including Titleist ambassadors Jbe Kruger, Matteo Manassero, Victor Dubuisson, Bernd Wiesberger and Thomas Levet put one or more of the clubs straight into play. A full report on the seeding process on the European Tour will follow on the Team Titleist blog.

Obama Traps Himself Behind a Pipeline
TheStreet) -- As more than 30,000 descended on Washington over the weekend to protest the approval of the Keystone pipeline, the president must have really felt the heat: What will he do when the pipeline is ruled upon by the State Department in early April?
With strong rhetoric in his Inauguration and State of the Union messages, President Obama has indicated his intention to get serious about climate change -- and the approval still needed by his State department to green light the northern half of the project is the flashpoint that climate advocates have grasped to hold the president's feet to the fire.
It's going to be tough for the president to say no to it now: Through the election, he pointedly visited Cushing, Okla., stood in front of the pipeline nexus there and told the country that he was expediting the build out of the southern portion of Keystone and sending the northern portion of approval back to the States to work out an environmentally safer route. This new route was generated and approved in January by Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman -- all that remains is the State Department's OK.
Even Obama's Democratic allies in Congress would be politically unhappy if the president denied approval now -- there are issues of Jobs, energy independence and promoting commerce with our friendly neighbors to the North, all hot button issues that Representatives need to be responsive to if they are to be reelected, an issue the president no longer has to worry about.
Keystone has become political Kryptonite to Democrats. Republicans, of course, unanimously want the pipeline approved. But the president has painted himself into a corner. There is no more prominent and immediate issue for environmentalists than Keystone XL and the decision to complete it remains in his hands alone. If he won't draw a very obvious line on climate change with this pipeline permit, where can he possibly do it and still be considered sincere in his rhetoric? I still believe the president will ultimately approve the build out, but it seems he won't be able to do it quietly or without protest. Organizations like 350.org and the Sierra club have been increasing their pressure with protests and letter writing and social media and their efforts are gaining steam. Where Keystone was all of assured three months ago, it's hardly so safe now.

In India, search for jobs starts right from the college especially during final year of studies.While some aspire to get into top private companies few others lookout for opportunities in public sector hoping for secured future.Hence it's always common to see students prepare for various governmental exams while still in college.
With the number of bank jobs on the rise for the past couple of years, many are focusing on cracking bank exams.BankExamsIndia.com has been receiving questions from such people asking if they can take up these IBPS tests while in college.
Things have changed aplenty on this front.So we have put together the rules that shall help those currently pursuing degree to better understand their positions.
Who can apply for IBPS Common Exams?
Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) is the organization that conducts common written examinations for probationary officer & clerk level posts in 20 public sector banks.To register for CWE, applicants have to fulfill certain conditions that include age, education etc
The Govt. of India had recommended changes in eligibility criteria that were implemented for the recently concluded clerk exams.According to it only graduates were allowed to take part in clerks selection.Previously the minimum qualification was 60% marks in 12th std. |
So students in final year/semester cannot apply for IBPS common test anymore with their school marks.Similarly, even graduates with 60% in degree are only required for PO jobs hereafter.
Can I apply for SBI jobs?
While discussing about government jobs, its hard to keep away State Bank of India.
For their previous clerical recruitment - applications from candidates with either degree pass or 50% in std.XII were invited.This prompted students undergoing graduation also to apply.
On successful appointment, some even discontinued their regular college to opt for correspondence/ distance education courses.Such is the value of getting a job in India`s largest bank.
Although 20,000 openings are to be filled - State Bank of India has not issued any new recruitment notices after the condition changes in other PSBs.Their official stand will be known only when SBI recruitments in 2013 are announced.
So if there isn't any modification final year students can apply for SBI clerk jobs.

'ParaNorman' Teaser Trailer: Laika Crafts a Weird and Super-Cute Kids' Horror Story
Posted on Friday, October 28th, 2011 by Russ Fischer
I'm eager to see anything that comes out of the animation house Laika. The company's last major production, Coraline, was a beautiful little film. Laika is following that with ParaNorman, a film written by Coraline storyboard supervisor Chris Butler.
The film has a great voice cast – Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In, The Road) in the lead, with Casey Affleck, Tempestt Bledsoe, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, Bernard Hill (Titanic), Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Elaine Stritch (30 Rock) — and tells the story of a young boy who has to protect his town against a zombie uprising. The first teaser has just been released and it looks like exactly the sort of movie that would have made me deliriously happy between the ages of ten and, well, now. Check it out below. Read More »

Fake grass landscape is the greatest answer for people who wish to live in green and fresh environment but do not have time to take care of their lawn. Beside that, on the hottest days of summer time, people have tendency to go to the beach and swimming pool rather than staying at home, watering and mowing the grass. You no longer concern about the lawn care when you install artificial grass. It's really the right decision to add the outside beauty for your house.
You are able to install fake grass wherever in the area of your house for example surrounding the swimming pool, courtyard, patio, backyard, front yard. It will rejuvenate your surrounding landscape.

Beside that, it also brings to you the advantage of saving water and money thank to its characteristic of being green years after years with little care and maintenance. Synthetic grass is extremely easy to combine with other landscapes designs. Since it's the surface of your lawn, you are able to design the lawn with numerous other details such as a small pond, some stone on two sides of path. In case you want to make your lawn livelier, you can seek advice from the landscape authorities to have more ideas for your beautiful landscape.
With natural grass lawn, it could be brown and died due to shortage of sunlight caused by a lot of different factors such as high buildings, overgrown trees or even scorching days of the summer.

EDMONTON - Red tunic-wearing mounted soldiers with lances stood on guard outside the Royal Mayfair Golf Club last Monday.
A Leopard tank and an armoured personnel carrier purred nearby and a military choir sang and bagpipers played on the patio.
But the icing on the first Military Cup tournament was a CF-18 from Cold Lake flying low overhead and saluting golfers by wiggling its wings.
"It was an extraordinary successful day," said John Ferguson, the honorary colonel of the South Alberta Light Horse, who with the help of his wife Bunny, created the first Military Cup. "Even the weather cooperated. We raised more than $100,000."
Ferguson, founder and chairman of the Princeton group, was the chancellor of the University of Alberta when he created the Chancellor's Cup.
The Military Cup, he decided, could help bring awareness and public support to Canadian Forces the same way the Chancellor's Cup had helped the university.
"I was delighted when the South Alberta Light Horse (SALH) Regiment Foundation thought it a good idea," said Ferguson.
Lt.-Gov. of Alberta Donald S. Ethell, a retired colonel, was recruited as the Cup's honorary co-chairman.
He was pleased his Circle on Mental Health Addiction was one of the three charities to be supported. The other two: the Edmonton Garrison Military Family Resource Centre and Cadets Canada.
Retired SALH Hon. Col. Stanley A. Milner, for whom our public library is named, agreed to serve as the other co-chairman.
Milner, an outstanding pioneer in Canada's oil and gas industry and leader in civic and charitable activities, had in his earlier years served in the cadet corps.
Businessman Angus Watt, Hon. Lt.-Col. of the South Alberta Light horse, and Doug Goss, a lawyer and University of Alberta governors chair, served as Cup chairmen.
Fairway hazards
Along with the likes of former Alberta premier Ed Stelmach, Greg Christenson, Jack Agrios, Sam Aboushassan, Dennis Erker, Eric Newell, Stewart Roth and Dave Mowatt, I ventured onto the Mayfair's fairways to find some 50 cadets minding pins and spotting.
Soldiers and their positions were so well camouflaged at each hole we often couldn't see them until we stumbled upon them.
"The SALH is Alberta's Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment and is part of the Canadian Army's primary reserves," said my golf car partner Maj. Scott Shrubb, deputy chief of operations with 3 Canadian Division support group and an Afghan veteran.
"They are trained as scouts, the eyes and ears of the battlefield."
We had a chance to look down the sights of a Carl Gustaf short range anti-tank rocket and admired a $750,000 explosive ordinance disposal robot.
Talk openly about mental illness
Brig.-Gen. J. C. G Juneau, Commander 3rd Canadian Division and Joint Task Force West and soon to become second in command of the Canadian Army, said the stigma associated with mental illness and addiction is still pervasive because we are not talking about it consistently and openly.
"Too may have suffered in isolation for far too long, but the time has come to talk about mental health," he said.
The Edmonton Garrison Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) is made up of 51 per cent military families who know first-hand the effect and toil military life can have on the family unit, said Juneau.
"Absences from family support systems, difficulties during deployments, solo parenting or coping with an injury or loss are realities for military families. Realities which can have a significant impact on family well-being," he said.
Thousands of boys and girls have passed through the cadet program since it was established more than 20 years ago, said Juneau. "Its program plays an important role in the development of strong leaders and community contributors," he said.
Lt.-Gen. J.Y. Blondin, Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force, said those in the military were proud to wear the Canadian Maple Leaf and appreciated the strong backing they had from fellow Canadians.
The Military Cup probably won't be held every year and other Alberta communities might be invited to stage it, said Watt.
Pinot highlights
The 10th anniversary of my Pinot on the Patio fundraising event at the Royal Glenora was highlighted by the outstanding Pinot wine poured by 20 wine agents; Lionel Rault's band and the barbecuing of the biggest bison I had ever seen.
The event was a send-off for our 38-strong cycling group which leaves this week and will cycle 1,760 km back from Haida Gwaii with a totem pole for the Stollery Children's Hospital.
"To date your Haida Gwaii Totem Tour has raised $271,000 dollars," said Stollery Foundation president Mike House. "We have found a great spot for the totem pole in the main atrium at the U of A Hospital."
Slick auctioneering by Gary Meyer, who seems to be helping every golf tournament I attend these days, is expected, when final figures are in, to take our total to more than $300,000.
Popular items were trips to the Langara Fishing Lodge and the Luxus' property at Whistler; flights on vintage Yellow Thunder Harvard war planes and a Flaman massage chair.
Harmeet Kapur helped supplement the bison organized by Chateau Lacombe manager Richard Wong and called his New Asian Village three times to have more food sent.

5 Ways To Move More at Work
by Toby Amidor in Diets & Weight Loss, Food News, June 24, 2011It's not news that we're having an obesity epidemic. Contributing factors include extra-large portions, too many processed foods and…our jobs? New research published in the journal PLOS One (Public Library of Science) shows that a drop in physical activity in the workplace also plays a role in our growing waistlines. Research also indicates that desk potatoes are 54 percent more likely to die of a heart attack! Here are 5 ways to make sure you move throughout your work day.
#1: Take Breaks Often
Take one 10 to 15 minute break every hour to walk around, stretch or grab some water. Find a quiet corner to do some jumping jacks, lunges, yoga moves or whatever you enjoy—don't be shy!
#2: Office Stretch Time
When Dana and I worked at a desk job for an online company, the CEO was very excited when we suggested a 15- to 20-minute stretching and yoga session three days a week. He bought yoga mats for the office and Dana (also a certified athletic trainer) led everyone in some relaxing moves.
#3: Face to Face Communication
These days office communication consists of emails, texts and instant messages. While these are all effective ways to communicate, they won't get you moving. If you find yourself having a lengthy IM session, stand up and have a conversation with the person instead. Along the same lines, if you find yourself writing paragraphs-long emails, call the person and stand up during the conversation.
#4: Lunch Time Walk
Instead of taking a break to sit and talk with co-workers at lunch, take 20 minutes to walk around the neighborhood. You can always talk and walk with your work friends.
#5: Stand-Up Desk
My father just installed one in his office, and some offices around the country are purchasing stand up workstations for their employees. I've even heard of some offices purchasing very slow moving treadmills for the desk, where you walk and work at the same time.

Thanks for the good tips. It is difficult to get a lot of exercise if you spend most of your day at a desk job. I have also found that taking stairs in your office also is a good work-out especially if you are above several floors.
Not every office is open to ideas. If you are taking a break or wandering around, they might think you are slacking off. But it is good news that more employers are offering options these days. -
standing and treadmill desks?? Thats awesome….simple ideas. I need to start thinking outside the box like this.
I have developed some exercises to do at work. I hate sitting still all day and I believe it contributes to obesity.
1. Every 5 to 10 minutes or so, i will get up and go check the fax machine, then circulate through the office and distribute the faxes. My co-workers may think I am trying to be helpful, but I will confess that my real goal is to stay in shape. Also my chiropractor recommended it. he said sitting all day for long stretches is horrible for your back.
2. While I am at the copier or the microwave, I do leg lifts. That is just lifting each leg 5-10 times, raising and lowering while holding a couple of seconds in between.
3. For your abs, sit on your desk chair sideways. Grab the side of the chair or the desk for balance, then slowly lower your upper body toward the floor and pull yourself up slowly. Do this 5-6 times.
4. For the thighs, get up from your desk, sit back halfway down, then stand back up. Do this 15-20 times.
5. Another variation is to stand up straight, then bend your knees into a sitting position (kind of like you were sitting on an invisible chair). Hold this as long as possible.
I have been doing these things so long it doesn't even feel like work or exercise anymore, just second nature.
I found that by doing isometrics you can really get in shape at work! Just find a place where you can tighten your muscles for a minute and than release and repeat.
This is great, I get so frustrated when I'm stuck at my computer for the entire day! I used to work just a half mile from a grocery store, so I would walk to pick something up during my lunch hour. Everyone thought I was crazy for not driving, but it really helped me get through the day if I could just get away from my desk for a while!
I also got caught trying to do a one-legged squat wile waiting for something to print, though. That was an awkward moment!

Osteoporosis risk factors
The risk of getting osteoporosis increases with age as bones naturally become thinner. After age 30, the rate at which your bone tissue dissolves and is absorbed by the body slowly increases, while the rate of bone building decreases. In women, bone loss is more rapid and usually begins after monthly menstrual periods stop, when a woman's production of the hormone estrogen slows down (usually between the ages of 45 and 55). A man's bone thinning typically starts to develop gradually when his production of the hormone testosterone slows down, at about 45 to 50 years of age. Women typically have smaller and lighter bones than men. As a result, women develop osteoporosis far more often than men. Osteoporosis usually does not have a noticeable effect on people until they are 60 or older.
Whether a person develops osteoporosis depends on the thickness of the bones (bone density) in early life, as well as health, diet, and physical activity later in life. Factors that increase the risk for osteoporosis in both men and women include:
- Having a family history of osteoporosis. If your mother, father, or a sibling has been diagnosed with osteoporosis or has experienced broken bones from a minor injury, you are more likely to develop osteoporosis.
Lifestyle factors. These include:
- Smoking. People who smoke lose bone density faster than nonsmokers.
- Alcohol use. Heavy alcohol use can decrease bone formation, and it increases the risk of falling. But moderate alcohol use (no more than 2 drinks a day for men and 1 drink a day for women) has been linked to higher bone density. Most doctors recommend limiting, but not eliminating, alcohol use.1
- Getting little or no exercise. Weight-bearing exercises—such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights—keep bones strong and healthy by working the muscles and bones against gravity. Exercise may improve your balance and decrease your risk of falling.
- Being small-framed or thin. Thin people and those with small frames are more likely to develop osteoporosis. But being overweight puts women at risk for other serious medical conditions, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease (CAD). For more information, see the topic Weight Management.
- A diet low in foods containing calcium and vitamin D.
- Having certain medical conditions. Some medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism or hyperparathyroidism, put you at greater risk for osteoporosis.
Taking certain medicines.
medicines cause bone thinning, such as:
- Corticosteroids, used to treat conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If used for a period of 6 months or longer, corticosteroids can lead to steroid-induced osteoporosis. Many men who develop osteoporosis do so as a result of using corticosteroids.
- Medicines used to treat endometriosis.
- Aromatase inhibitors, used to treat breast cancer.
- Thyroid replacement medicine, if the dose is more than the body needs. This should be monitored by checking the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) every year.
- Depo-Provera, a birth control medicine given by injection, if used for a long time.
- Antacids that contain aluminum, if they are overused. Aluminum-containing antacids remove phosphorus and calcium from your body.
- Anticonvulsant medicines such as carbamazepine.
- Hormone treatment for prostate cancer.
- Medicines called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). SSRIs are used to treat many conditions, including depression, fibromyalgia, and premenstrual syndrome. Studies have found that daily use of SSRIs may increase the risk of bone fracture in adults over age 50. Before you take an SSRI, talk to your doctor about this risk.
- Having certain surgeries, such as having your ovaries removed before menopause.
Other risk factors for osteoporosis may include:
- Being of European and Asian ancestry, the people most likely to have osteoporosis. People of African ancestry are least likely.
- Being inactive or bedridden for long periods of time.
- Excessive dieting or having an eating disorder, such as anorexia nervosa.
- Being a female athlete, if you have infrequent menstrual cycles due to low body fat.
Women who have completed menopause have the greatest risk for osteoporosis because their levels of the estrogen hormone drop. Estrogen protects women from bone loss. Likewise, women who no longer have menstrual periods—either because their ovaries are not working properly or because their ovaries have been surgically removed—also can have lower estrogen levels.

Outback Wildlife
100sqkm of wetlands and over 1 million magpie geese. The honking is incredible as you go amongst them in the early mornings and it must be one of the great experiences of an Australian safari holiday. Here in the Northern Territories of Australia this is the land of big skies, woolly butt and paperbark trees, where the wallabies are calm and the saltie crocs almost invisible in the waters. Other bird life is impressive here too from blue-winged kookaburras, red-tailed cockatoos to the brolgas and white-bellied sea eagles. Birdwatching in Australia could become addictive, indeed we spent a good while with sacred kingfishers and bar-breasted honeyeaters feeding young at a nest of entwined gum leaves hanging over snow-flake lilies in the flooded woodlands. Considering outback holidays in Australia? Then ensure you continue to read as we explore the great diversity of this continent nation and be sure to talk with us on our return!

Question: Could you identify these leaves? One could be from a sharon fruit and the other could be from a locus bean. I try to grow all types of pips and seeds from fruit I have eaten. These leaves I have enclosed I cannot identify or know how to look after them. At the moment they are in an unheated greenhouse. (Mrs J Copland, Norwich)
The leaves you sent in are nice and flat and dry now and the 140cm leaf is very much like that of a Kiwi fruit, covered in fine hairs and quite round. Kiwi plants are large climbing plants that can be grown outdoors or kept as a house plant.
The large, hairy, heart shaped leaves, and small, white flowers and fruits in the autumn. Kiwis are simple plants to raise from seed and are easy to look after. They also produce fruit quite happily.
In every kiwi fruit there are thousands of tiny brown seeds, which you would normally eat. Use the spoon to carefully separate the brown seeds from the green flesh; put the seeds in an egg cup. You will need to wash the seeds, so pour some lukewarm water into the eggcup containing the seeds, and swish it around with your finger. After a few minutes, pour the water away, taking care not to throw the seeds away as well! Scrape the washed seeds from the egg cup on to a piece of clean tissue paper and let them dry off. You will need a pot measuring about 8cm across, with holes in the bottom to let water drain out. Fill your pot with multipurpose compost and water it very well. Sow the seeds thinly on the surface and cover them lightly with a bit more compost. Put the pot in a clear plastic bag and tie the ends up. This is to keep all the moisture in and stop the seeds from drying out. Put the pot on a sunny windowsill and wait. The seeds will grow in a few weeks, but will need checking every day. If the compost looks dry, give it a little water. When the seeds have started sprouting, remove the plastic bag and put the pot back on a sunny windowsill. As the seedlings grow, they will need to be potted up in separate pots of compost. Let them grow some more, and repot them again when you see roots coming out of the holes in the bottom of the pot.
Kiwi plants grow quite large and only make good house plants for about two years. To grow them indoors, you need a large pot, about 35cm across. They will be happy in a sunny room or conservatory. They will also need something to climb up. The best way to do this in a pot is to make a wigwam with 2m long canes.
If you decide to put the plants in the garden, they need a sunny wall to climb up. To make your plants produce fruit you need a male and female plant. Grow several plants in order to be surer of getting one of each sex. For indoor plants, water them regularly and feed them twice a week in the summer, using a general houseplant feed.
You will need to train and tie your kiwi plants up their support until they become properly established.
The other leaf I am afraid I can't decide what it is it has no particular features that I can identify. It's not common, and it's not a Sharon fruit. I would need to see a photograph with a stem or – better – a flower.

Welcome to the Official Website of Vlad Nusinovich, MD
The best way to protect against influenza is to get a flu vaccine every flu season.
Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory disease that can
lead to serious complications, hospitalization, or even death. Anyone can get the flu, and vaccination is the single best way to protect against influenza. Even healthy children and adults can get
very sick from the flu and spread it to family and friends. Getting vaccinated against the flu every season protects against the three influenza viruses that research indicates will cause the most
illness this season. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the flu vaccine as the first and most important step in preventing flu.
Get vaccinated as soon as vaccine becomes available in your
community. Getting vaccinated as soon as it is available provides protection in case the flu season comes early and will protect you throughout the entire flu season.
We are committed to the current and long-term health of our patients. For that reason, we want to make sure you know about preventive care services such as vaccination, which can help protect you against certain diseases.
As you age, your immune system loses some of its ability to fight off diseases. Eating right and exercising may not be enough to keep you healthy. This fall is a good time to talk to us about adult vaccination and how it can help protect you against certain potentially serious diseases that threaten to break through your defenses.
Talk to us about ways to stay healthier.

statements in Israel cause repercussions
by Eric Jackson I will always support Israel,
guardian of the world's capital, Jerusalem.
Ricardo Martinelli
President of Panama Martinelli's sick statement is an objectionable attempt to legitimize the Israeli military occupation of the city of Jerusalem, contrary to the law and to the will of its inhabitants. National Christian Coalition of
the Holy Land
Since the president of Panama announces that Israel is the guardian of Jerusalem, he might need to explain the meaning of his words to the Palestinian families who lose their homes in Jerusalem every week. He might also need to explain to the millions of Muslims and Christians who are denied access to the holy sites in the city. Nabil Sha'ath
Fatah central committee member from Bethlehem The Arab-Israeli conflict is perhaps the gravest and most consequential international problem in recent years. In order to maintain public security and avoid aggravating the situation, Panama should express itself about this conflict with prudence and reserve. Carlos Guevara Mann
Panama's former Foreign Policy Director General We knew that
Panamanian foreign policy, which has had as one of its basic premises
the defense of the canal by maintaining a neutral position in other
people's conflicts, had changed last summer. Panama joined just six
other countries --- the United States, Canada, Nauru, Macedonia,
Micronesia, and Israel --- in opposing a United Nations General
Assembly resolution to accept the Goldstone Report, which recommended
criminal investigations of both Palestinian rocket attacks on Israeli
civilians and attacks on Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces during
the 2008-2009 Gaza offensive. Martinelli resumed his rhetorical attacks
on Judge Richard Goldstone, a South African jurist and a Jew who
considers himself a Zionist, during his recent five-day visit to the
Middle East.
We knew that the UN vote reflected a policy shift rather than a mistake when Martinelli incorporated Israel's Mossad into the Institutional Protection Service as trainers, advisors and presidential bodyguards. The last time the Mossad was active in Panamanian government, it was to help General Manuel Antonio Noriega to conduct a purge of the Panama Defense Forces, a repression that included torture and extrajudicial executions. Panama's Jewish and Muslim communities are about evenly-sized, around 8,000 to 10,000 each, but of course the Muslim community includes many non-Arabs and much of the Arab community is Christian rather than Muslim. Our censuses don't take such ethnic or religious data, but by all accounts the Panamanian Jewish and Arab communities are small and prosperous and they get along well with one another. There was no public cheering from the Jewish community here about Mr. Martinelli's controversial statement about Jerusalem, but neither were there loud condemnations from Panama's Arabs. Among this country's foreign policy establishment, however, there was strong condemnation all along the political spectrum. On the right, former Vice President Guillermo Ford advised Martinelli for his own good not to get involved in foreign disputes like the one over Jerusalem's future. On the left, FRENADESO accused Martinelli of explicitly endorsing the dispossession of Jerusalem's Arab population, which it said "exposes Panama to unimaginable risks." One would not expect the opposition Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) to have much good to say about Martinelli's statement, and indeed one of its leading foreign policy analysts, former diplomat Nils Castro, called Martinelli's statement about Jerusalem "imprudent" and said that it complicated the efforts by the United States and the European Union to broker a peace settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Another PRD leader, former Panama City mayor Juan Carlos Navarro, added that "Panama is the custodian of one of the world's main trade routes, so traditionally its foreign policy has been carried with great prudence so as not to involve Panama in problems of other countries." However, university professor and former diplomat Carlos Guevara Mann is from the anti-PRD political orbit, having served as foreign policy director in the Moscoso administration. His lament that Martinelli's statement about Jerusalem risked both the safety of the Panama Canal and this country's status in world diplomacy was in line with what people in the PRD were saying. It also reflected the thinking of a lot of rank-and-file Panameñistas, who are part of Martinelli's coalition but becoming estranged over issues like the division of political patronage. The argument over Panama's taking sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is similar, although far less emotional, to the one that's underway about Martinelli's support for and alleged joint military actions with the Colombian government against our neighbors' leftist FARC guerrillas. The most common feeling here is that FARC is a bunch of thugs, as are the people who are fighting against FARC, and it's not Panama's fight. It is part of a generalized antipathy toward all persons and things Colombian found among many Panamanians, but it's also an opinion held by people who have no xenophobic attitudes but fear that this country could not defend itself in the event that it becomes immersed in Colombia's conflict. But is it reasonable to think that the Middle East conflict is far away and thus won't affect us as easily as the Colombian civil strife might? Recall two things:

If you're interested in installing a rainwater tank, contact your local council, water supplier and health department (if you want to drink the water) first to find out which rules and regulations apply in your local area that could affect your decision. You may need to submit a development or building application; or there may be restrictions on the tank's location, colour, height and labelling; or noise regulations for a pump may apply. Your water supplier or a licensed plumber should be able to advise you on plumbing regulations, and your health department on issues about drinking rainwater and preventing mosquitoes breeding. These initial inquiries should also establish whether you're entitled to any cash rebates or bill reductions. Rebates can range from $150 to $1500 for the installation of a rainwater tank and depend on the size of the tank and whether it's connected to a toilet and/or washing machine. Check with your local water or government authority
Tanks can cost as little as a few hundred dollars for a basic, small, freestanding model without pump and extras, to many thousands of dollars for a large, custom-built model with all the bells and whistles. The costs vary depending on the size, material, finish and strength of the tank. When we checked out prices from a few manufacturers for polyethylene tanks, they ranged from around $700 to $900 for a 2000 L model, from $1000 to $1250 for a 4000–5000 L one and from $1800 to $2000 for a 9000 L tank. It's worth shopping around. Further to these costs are any charges for delivery and installation; extra materials (such as pipes, fittings and taps); optional extras (such as a first-flush or backflow-prevention device); a pump (unless you can use gravity for water pressure); and a stand (unless you want to put it on the ground or below it, in which case you may need to factor in costs for special preparation or excavation). Last of all there are labour costs for a licensed plumber, if you want to connect the tank to your mains water supply, and costs for any additional work that needs to be done to your roof and/or guttering. And after all these expenses, you're ready to reap the benefits ... as long as it rains.
Rainwater tanks come in a multitude of sizes, shapes, materials and colours. You can install one next to the house, on top or under it, on a stand, on the ground or below it. Installing a tank below ground is generally more expensive because of excavation costs, but the tank's out of sight.
Installing a rainwater tank out of the way under the house, at gutter level, or even one that's completely invisible inside your walls is easier when you're building a new home (or when doing major renovations) than when retrofitting a system. This applies even more to a greywater system, which requires, as a minimum, connections to your bathroom and/or laundry plumbing and, depending on its complexity, some space outside. So it makes sense to consider such environmental features when you're starting from scratch. In some areas you may even have to incorporate energy and water-efficient features in your building plans to comply with new legislative requirements. There are companies offering water storage solutions that are built into the house at construction stage. For example, VISION WATER (www.vision-water.com) offers an integrated rainwater harvesting, storage and reticulation system.

Remove or Tone Down Blue Tint and Colour Grading
We the undersigned petition DICE (EA Digital Illusions CE) to remove or tone down the Blue Tint and Colour Grading in Battlefield 3. While you may think it looks great, the vast majority of the Battlefield community detest it. Please either remove it, tone it down or give the user a menu option to selectively turn it up and down as they wish.

- 1/2 cup(s) (2 ounces) walnuts
- 11 digestive biscuits, broken
- 2.50 ounce(s) (about 7 rods) salted pretzels
- 1 stick(s) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- 1/4 cup(s) packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup(s) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- 2 pint(s) mint chocolate chip ice cream, slightly softened
- 5 ounce(s) dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoon(s) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon(s) corn syrup
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8- by 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a few inches of overhang all around.
- Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Cool, chop, and transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the biscuits until fine crumbs form; add to the walnuts. In a resealable plastic bag, crush the pretzels with a rolling pin until small chunks form; add the pretzels to the walnuts.
- In a large saucepan, melt the stick of butter over very low heat. Add the brown sugar and cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Slowly drizzle the egg and vanilla into the saucepan, whisking, until thickened, 2 minutes. Mix in the walnut mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer and refrigerate the cookie base for 30 minutes.
- Spread 1 1/2 pints of the ice cream over the cookie base and freeze for 2 hours. Reserve the remaining ice cream for another use.
- Meanwhile, in a heatproof medium bowl, combine the chocolate, heavy cream, corn syrup, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
- Pour the ganache over the ice cream and spread it evenly. Freeze for 2 hours, until set. Cut into 8 bars and serve.
