Two separate investigations were conducted to develop an objective self-report instrument, the Sexual Awareness Questionnaire (SAQ), designed to measure four personality tendencies associated with sexual awareness and sexual assertiveness: sexual-consciousness (attention to internal private sexual cues), sexual-monitoring (sensitivity to others' evaluation of one's sexuality), sexual-assertiveness (self-reliance in sexual decision making), and sex appeal-consciousness (awareness of one's own public sexiness). Factor and reliability analyses from both studies confirmed the factorial validity and reliability of the Sexual Awareness Questionnaire. Other results provided evidence supporting the convergent and discriminant validity of the SAQ. All four SAQ subscales tended to be negatively related to measures of sex-anxiety and sex-guilt for both males and females, and sexual-consciousness was directly related to erotophilic feelings. Other findings indicated that men's and women's responses to the four SAQ subscales were related in a predictable fashion to their sexual attitudes, dispositions, and behaviors. Research and clinical applications are discussed.

Chocolate Pistachio Pie
Okay, so the Pilgrims didn't eat chocolate. But surely they would have if they'd been offered a pie as blessedly dense and rich as this one, made with a filling of dark chocolate custard nestled in a tender, cocoa-flavored crust.

Pie Dough
- 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon(s) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 3 tablespoon(s) cocoa, preferably Dutch-processed
- 12 tablespoon(s) (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract (optional)
Pie Filling
- 1.5 cup(s) half-and-half
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup(s) dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
- 4 ounce(s) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup(s) heavy cream
- 5 teaspoon(s) pistachio paste (available at kingarthurflour.com)
- 2 teaspoon(s) sugar
- 1 tablespoon(s) pistachios, finely chopped
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)
- To Make Pie Dough: Stir together flour, sugar, salt, and cocoa in a large bowl.
- Use a pastry blender or a fork to cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter throughout. (Or combine dry ingredients in a food processor, then pulse in butter.)
- Drizzle in 1 to 2 tablespoons of ice water at a time (up to 6 tablespoons total), tossing after each addition, and using only enough water to make dough clump together when squeezed. Add vanilla (if using).
- Pat dough into a 4-inch circle, tightly cover with plastic wrap or parchment, and chill for 30 minutes or up to 2 days (or freeze for up to 3 months).
- To Make Pie: Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut cold dough into 4 pieces and grate into a 9-inch pie plate using large holes of a box grater; work quickly to keep dough cold. Press dough into bottom, sides, and along the rim of pan to uniform thickness. Trim excess dough; crimp edges. Chill 20 minutes.
- Line shell with parchment paper and fill with rice or pie weights. Bake 10 to 12 minutes; remove rice and paper and bake until crust is cooked through, 8 to 10 more minutes. Cool on a rack.
- Whisk half-and-half, yolks, brown sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and bubbles. Cook 1 minute more; remove from heat. Stir in bittersweet chocolate, butter, and vanilla. Pour into pie shell; cool completely. Transfer to refrigerator to set, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
- When serving, make a topping by beating heavy cream, pistachio paste, and sugar (if using) in a cold bowl to soft peaks. Sprinkle pie with pistachios and chocolate shavings (if using); add a dollop of pistachio cream to each slice.

Brook And Robin Lopez Shopping TV Script
Posted By Seth Moed On October 4, 2013 @ 2:26 PM In NBA,Sports Media | No Comments
[1]The recent offseasons haven't been so easy for Brook Lopez. There was the bout with mono three years ago, and then the three foot surgeries that stalled his career.
But all this time away from the court has provided Lopez an opportunity to advance his eclectic interests, specifically a script for an animated adventure/comedy that he and his twin brother — Robin Lopez, a center for the Trail Blazers — have been shopping to television networks.
"We have a pilot all written out," says Lopez.

Chapter 9: Overhaul the FAFSA
Students wanting to obtain federal student financial assistance must complete the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) form, which is also used for making decisions on financial aid by others, notably the colleges themselves. In the 2009-10 academic year, the number of questions on the FAFSA form exceeded 100. Susan Dynarski and others have argued the marginal gain in knowledge about applicants from having an elaborate form was far more than offset by the adverse impact that the complexity of the form had on students' willingness to apply, particularly in the case of low-income families. Some estimate well over 1.5 million aid-eligible low income people fail to apply for assistance, probably in large measure because of the complexity of the application process. Some small progress has been made in simplification, but the form is still complex and intimidating, particularly for people with limited educational backgrounds. However, with the cooperation of other federal agencies (notably the Internal Revenue Service) and minor changes in law, it would be possible to abolish the FAFSA completely and still obtain the truly vital information needed to assess whether loans should be awarded to an individual. Another alternative would be a postcard-sized form asking for information regarding basic income, family size, and the age of children.
The problem with the FAFSA form is merely the most tangible indication of a broken, dysfunctional and byzantine system of federal financial aid. A strong case can be made for the federal government to abandon its role of providing loans and moving to alternative forms of financing. However, as long as the existing system is in place, the simplification of well over a dozen loan and grant programs into one or two would seem to be a top priority. At the very minimum, barriers to participation such as the FAFSA form should be broken down.

I'm so old I remember when we actually watched the Super Bowl GAME and went to the bathroom during commercials.
RIP Earl Williams
Go Braves!!! We are ready for the season to start.
It is a tough business to base your career on the mind of 18 year old's decisions.
When I was 18, I considered a promise as something binding. To break a promise was besmirching my good name.
You're getting there, Arthur. Just pony up $200 million more, and you can have your stadium.
Hockey is dead, the NHL just doesn't realize it yet. TV games have been relegated to some obscure cable network and viewership is below Sunday moning Church TV. Turn the lights off.
Cannot remember the last time I was excited about the Braves as I am going into this Spring.
So we're upset that an 18 year old changed his mind about which school he wants to play football at? He gave his word! The humanity of it all! Take a breath and remember what YOU were like at 18.
Well Arthur, why don't you educate us about the great deal as taxpayers we're getting.
Some of you Prado fan boys are delusional. How many World Series titles did he lead the Braves to??? I like the Upton brothers chances a lot better.
I have to agree. Watching paint dry is more exciting than watching hockey.
Where should I send my $1.00 contribution to help Mr. Blank get his stadium?
I am a born and raised Georgian and I lived in Atlanta for 22 years. I am convinced a large portion of Atlanta sports fans are are totally clueless and the worst fans in the country.
My bet is on the winner of the Super Bowl and I guarantee one will win.

Renault R26 - additional venting gills 18 March 2006
Renault, like most teams, have improved the cooling capabilities of their car for Malaysia, to help guarantee engine reliability in the hot and humid conditions. A couple of additional venting gills have been placed at the top of the sidepod (small arrow and magnified area), requiring no change to the sidepod's profile, and asymmetrical cooling chimneys have been added (large left arrow). Such minimal modifications for Malaysia highlight the reduced cooling needs of the new V8 engines over last year's V10s.

Colombia is a country defined throughout history by its isolated geography. The Andes divide the nation. What can unify it are mass media and herculean transportation networks. President Gaviria credits radio. It was radio that heralded to most Colombians the 1993 assassination of drug baron Pablo Escobar, at which time Gaviria was president. The killing was a bin Laden-compound moment for the country. To get the best, fastest news about Colombia, Gaviria told me, he turns the radio dial.
But other modes of journalism also unite this country. The late Colombian journalist and historian Eduardo Lemaitre argued that "Three things have given this country of countries a nation with common principles, and have given it a compact to exist as a singular unit: The Constitution of 1886, the Magdalena river, and the television."
One writer wrote in The New Yorker in 2010 that "Colombia is one of those countries where the locals are just grateful that you're willing to visit." Not so true. The number of foreign visitors to Colombia surged about 133 percent between 2000 and 2009. The same New Yorker writer also conceded that Colombia's ability to attract foreign writers and visitors is "a sign that progress is possible in countries once left for dead."
Journalists in Colombia were once the prey of professional killers. Today, they still face dangers, even grave ones, but they're a part of their country's broader momentum.

Competitive Day for Wilson and Beatriz at The Milwaukee Mile

Competitive Day for Wilson and Beatriz at The Milwaukee Mile
Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Dale Coyne Racing drivers Justin Wilson and Ana Beatriz enjoyed competitive drives in the 250 lap MilwaukeeFest 250 today here in Milwaukee.
Justin Wilson driving the #19 Boy Scouts of America Indy Car started the race in 13th position. Justin would steadily move up through the field running in the top 3 and leading lap 91 before his second pit stop. Several teams took different strategies based on when the yellow flags appeared. In the end that would work against Justin as he got trapped on a yellow behind a lead car that did not pit and put Justin one lap down for the rest of the day. The good news is that Justin was very strong, setting the fastest race lap for any Honda car and second fastest lap of the race to eventual winner Ryan Hunter-Reay. When the checkered flag fell Justin would end up a respectable 9th place, the first car on the one lap down pack.
Coming into this race, Justin was hoping for a top finish after qualifying on the front row in 2012. His 9th place finish would actual move him up one position in the overall points to 8th place overall.
"We would have liked to be a little stronger here today to get more points toward the championship," commented Wilson. "The car was really good in the last stint and we were almost as fast as the leader. Hopefully what we have learned here will help us next week at Iowa."
Ana "Bia" Beatriz, returned for the Milwaukee race for the DCR squad after running the first 5 races of the year. Bia would start 20th and ran an eventful race to finish 19th. Late in the race Bia had the car working very good when a incident with Tony Kanaan would cost her to spin and hit the wall in turn 3.
"The car was really good by the end of the race," commented Ana. "I was going under Tony in turn 3 and he came down on me. I had to correct the steering very quickly and it caused me to spin up the track and hit the wall."
Damage to the car was just a front nose and wheel, so Bia was able to rejoin the action and finish the race in 19th.
"It was really good to get back in a car after running well at Indy," stated the talented Brazilian. "We hope to continue on for Iowa which is a track I really enjoy as well."
The team now returns to its race shop in Illinois to prepare for next weekend's Iowa Corn 250
Next Sunday's race in Iowa can be seen next Sunday on ABC television at 2:30 PM EST.

The Fair Media Council has expanded its Media Savvy Teacher Awards program by introducing new categories to encourage 4th-to-6th grade teachers to use news in their classrooms and enhance the learning process. The awards program is sponsored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union.
The new categories include 'money savvy kids,' which is designed to encourage financial literacy; 'healthy minds and healthy bodies,' designed to increase awareness of the importance of drug and alcohol abuse prevention (and in conjunction with the Long Island Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence (LICADD) and news literacy, a general category to further children's understanding of local, national and world events.
'Research tells us we have to get to the kids far earlier than college or high school if we are going to impact their learning in a meaningful way,' said FMC Executive Director Jaci Clement. "The fourth-to-sixth grade time frame provides the perfect opportunity for giving children information they need to impact the way they think, and how they think."
In entering the awards, teachers must complete a project of their choosing that incorporates using a variety of news outlets and encourages children to compare and contrast information. Details and entry forms are available at http://www.fairmediacouncil.org/programs/fmc-media-savvy-teacher-award/
The deadline for submissions is Nov. 30, 2012. Teachers anywhere in the United States are eligible to apply. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 516.224.1860, ext. 700.

Is it Normal to Have Diarrhea During Pregnancy?
Diarrhea during pregnancy is very common for most women, so whether you're planning on having a child or you are already pregnant, you shouldn't panic if you experience severe diarrhea during pregnancy.
If you have frequent loose watery stools in a day you have diarrhea. Diarrhea during pregnancy first trimester may be caused by changes in the pregnancy hormones, change in diet during pregnancy, and several viral infections.
Diarrhea during pregnancy second trimester is common complaint among pregnant women. You can safely stop this by using over the counter anti diarrhea medications which are safe to use. If your diarrhea is not going away after about 48 hours, you should see your doctor.
Diarrhea during pregnancy third trimester is common. Generally diarrhea is common a few weeks before delivery. It's your body's way of flushing itself out in preparing room for the delivery of the baby. Drink plenty of water or hydrating fluids like Gatorade and make sure you remain hydrated.
In most cases this chronic diarrhea during pregnancy can be successfully prevented and stopped with only small changes in your diet during pregnancy, so all you have to do to put an end to having diarrhea during pregnancy is avoid certain foods and watch your diet regularly. However, if you suspect something is wrong, you should see your practitioner as soon as possible.
Causes of Diarrhea During Pregnancy
Most likely, diarrhea during pregnancy is due to external factors, whereas constipation during this period is caused by the ever changing level of pregnancy hormones in your body.
If you are experiencing cramps and diarrhea during pregnancy it is most likely because you have changed your entire lifestyle, including your eating and drinking habits. Most moms-to-be start drinking more water, eat healthier food and cut down certain habits. Even the workouts may cause your body to react unexpectedly.
Other causes of diarrhea during pregnancy may be the prenatal vitamins some women take. If this is your case, contact your health care provider in order to change the brand. Sometimes it's all it takes to get you back in shape!
Other and more serious causes of upset stomach diarrhea during pregnancy are stomach flu, food poisoning or intestinal parasites. In case you suspect one of these, you should turn to your health care provider as soon as possible, get yourself tested and treated in order to prevent further complications.
Remember, ignoring constant diarrhea during pregnancy may lead to severe dehydration, which is currently one of the leading causes of premature labor. Therefore, if your diarrhea continues more than 3 to 5 days and shows one or more combinations of below symptoms, you should take it seriously and start applying the needed measures and remedies.
- Vomiting and diarrhea during pregnancy
- Cramping and diarrhea during pregnancy
- Constipation and diarrhea during pregnancy
- Watery diarrhea during pregnancy
- Bloody diarrhea during pregnancy
- Sickness and diarrhea during pregnancy
- Black diarrhea during pregnancy
- Mucus in diarrhea during pregnancy
- Green diarrhea during pregnancy
These are very serious conditions and need immediate medical remedies. So do not ignore these conditions and be sure to contact your healthcare provider immediately. Similarly this may indicate irritable bowel syndrome. You should see your doctor or a gastroenterologist to rule out other causes before being treated for this. This is a sign that something more complicated is happening that may require medical treatment.
How to Prevent Diarrhea During Pregnancy?
There are some foods you should keep your hands off in order to avoid diarrhea during pregnancy in the first place. Dried fruits, like prunes, are in fact all natural laxatives, so if you eat too many you will disturb your bowel movements.
Fatty or spicy foods also cause diarrhea because it is sometimes hard for your body to assimilate them. Then, if you are lactose intolerant you should try to avoid dairy products as much as possible, or stick to less processed one, containing lower amounts of fats and water.
Try to avoid high-sugar drinks like coke and sodas, energy drinks and grape juice. The high sugar dosage of these drinks will cause your digestion to act up and this imbalance will in turn lead to diarrhea during pregnancy. Not to mention these drinks will also speed up weight gain during pregnancy and as you surely know, packing pounds too quickly isn't healthy for you and baby growth during pregnancy.
If you have diarrhea and you're in the gestation period, you should avoid not only drinks that contain too much sugar but also those very rich in caffeine and acids. These would draw water into your stomach, making it harder for your digestive system to process foods in a healthy way.
Thus, by drinking such products, you will actually worsen your condition and make diarrhea during pregnancy last even longer. Sport drinks on the other hand can a good choice because they are designed to help athletes rehydrate by replacing electrolytes. Still, make sure to check with your physician before opting for such drinks, as not all of them are healthy for pregnant women.
What can I Take for Diarrhea During Pregnancy?
What to take for diarrhea during pregnancy is the common concern of pregnant women. Remember there are certain diets that are recommended to pregnant women who are suffering from diarrhea during pregnancy. For example there is one called the BRAT diet and it originally includes toasts, bananas, applesauce and rice.
New versions of the BRAT diet also recommend a higher intake of certain minerals and vitamins, such as zinc for example, which aren't provided by the diet otherwise. This eating plan assures gentile nourishment for a future mom's body and it keeps meals healthy and tasty, so if you want to start this diet, consider including the following ingredients in your daily menu:
- Lean meats like skinless chicken or turkey breast
- Carrots, rice, noodles and light soups
- Yogurt
- Potatoes, enriched cereals, low salt crackers
Similar over the counter anti diarrhea medications are safe to use. It is also safe to take loperamid (Immodium), but avoid bismuth-containing products like Pepto-Bismol, they contain salicylates which are an aspirin compound and should be avoided during pregnancy. If your diarrhea is not going away after about 48 hours, you should see your doctor.

Anambra State Government has proposed to spend N624 million for the conduct of local government election in the state this year.
The commissioner in charge of logistics and operations at the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission, ANSIEC, Mr. Sylvester Okonkwo, who is overseeing the activities of the commission, has already defended the commission's budget estimate for the conduct of the exercise at the State House of Assembly.
The election was to have taken place in December 2010, but had to be put on hold following the removal of the chairman of the commission, Professor Titus Eze.
Okonkwo told newsmen in Awka yesterday that in anticipation of the approval of the budget estimate, the commission has been preparing seriously for the exercise, adding that all things being equal, the election would be held this year. He however did not give a specific date for the election..
According to him, as part of preparations for the exercise, a three-day workshop was organised for the management and staff of the commission in February this year.

Almost Off-the-Grid
Eric Roth
On this sunny bluff overlooking Cape Cod Bay, 11.7kW of solar panels on the south-facing roof gather much of the home's required energy.
Inspired by the slope of the dunes, the home's rooflines fit elegantly into the site and soar upward to capture distant ocean vistas.
Sloped ceilings soar up toward ocean vistas and lower down into more personal interior spaces.
Heat gain from west-facing windows was countered by a tighter, well-insulated building envelope and thoughtfully zoned HVAC.
View from foyer looking across the open kitchen into the dining room.
The entry way opens up to both living and sleeping sections of the flexible floor plan as well as offering immediate access to the beaches beyond.
An expansive deck rests steps above grade obviating the need for view-blocking railings.

Inside, steel I-beams stand in for exposed timbers.
A respectful reinterpretation of New England farmhouse vernacular, this vacation compound uses a woodshedlike covered walkway to link the main house and a garage/guest apartment.

Clean geometry and an abbreviated finish schedule yield interiors that are relaxingly simple. The dining area centers on a table whose top is a single slab of reclaimed redwood.
Translucent canopies link the building's three pavilions.
Glazing in the main living pavilion is oriented for solar gain and views of the surrounding Madrone forest.
A short uphill hike brings one to the pool pavilion and a shallow lap pool heated entirely with solar collectors.

Glass walls on the exterior and a lack of walls inside let the 1,500-square-foot house live large. Outdoor terraces and porches nearly double the home's total square footage.

An energy-efficient, low-maintenance building shell and both passive and active solar energy systems yield a building that can fend for itself in a remote location subject to extreme weather.

Interior materials include a variety of salvaged woods and sprayed earth plaster.

Photovoltaic panels generate electricity, and solar thermal panels combined with radiant sand beds beneath concrete slabs provide heat and hot water.
The fireplace is shaped with sprayed earth.
Inside the Johnson house, salvaged fir slats echo the exterior siding, and glass panels on the floor transmit light to a hallway below.
The "truth" window.
The old exterior cladding reappears as wainscoting in the new building, and the old doors are boiut into a frame that folds open like a Shoji screen, merging the main space with the screened porch.
Custom, single-family houses are a luxury and some would argue that they never truly can be considered sustainable because of the abundant energy and materials required to shelter one set of occupants. The classic interpretation of the American dream, however, is based on owning that personal parcel of land with a big house where the entire family can gather around the hearth. And although family compositions are changing, that iconic idea that owning a custom house is equivalent to "making it" is unlikely to change anytime soon.
The architects and builders whose work is represented in the accompanying slideshow do their best to offset the extravagance of building a solitary dwelling by incorporating energy-producing and resource-conserving systems. These thoughtful design pros also manage to capture the best views without forgoing solar orientation; create gorgeous buildings using nontoxic sustainable materials; and take advantage of breathtaking settings while building as lightly as possible on the land.
The projects seen here strive for an even deeper shade of green through energy independence. Some are completely off-the-grid while others feed excess energy back into the grid, but all of the designs focus on renewable energy such as solar and geothermal. Efforts to save resources don't end with energy—these houses employ sustainable features inside and out, from top to bottom. Mechanical zoning, passive cooling and heating, super insulation, water conservation and recycling, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, nontoxic finishes, and reclaimed materials are just some of the environmentally sound amenities.
Many of the projects also sit on large pieces of untamed land that are being preserved thanks to private ownership. Architect David Warner, for example, bought a piece of land slated for the development of 14 houses. A favorite hiking haunt of his, Warner didn't want the forested acreage to be bulldozed so he bought it, retired the development plan, and built a house on it for his family. "We had all these biological resources we wanted to maintain," he explains, including a pair of northern spotted owls. "There's only 2,000 nesting pairs left in the world, and we have a pair on our property." Yet another reason to credit Warner and his sustainably minded colleagues with doing at least one version of the right thing.

Defendant Caught in "Operation Emissary" Based in New Jersey
PATRICK M. SHAFFER, 35, of Tacoma, Washington was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma for Possession of Child Pornography. U.S. District Judge Franklin D. Burgess sentenced SHAFFER to 97 months in prison and ten years of supervised release. SHAFFER was identified as part of the "Operation Emissary" investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into people trading child pornography on line. Prior to his arrest and detention in August 2006, SHAFFER was a Registered Nurse at a Tacoma physical therapy clinic.
On August 4, 2006, agents executed a search warrant on SHAFFER's home on North Frace Street in Tacoma, Washington. On SHAFFER's computer and several DVDs, agents found more than 2,900 images of children engaged in sexually explicit behavior. SHAFFER also had 387 movie files of child pornography. Many of the images and movie files showed children being subjected to violent and sadistic sexual abuse.
"Operation Emissary" was initiated in the New Jersey office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in late 2005. More than 125 people were arrested nationwide. Those charged had subscribed to a hard core child pornography website in late 2005 and early 2006. The arrests were made in 22 states, including Washington.
This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood. In February 2006, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales launched Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims.
The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mike Dion.

text: Hi, we are using QNX 6.5.0 with Photon. We rotate the display via PgPHookRegister(). This works very good. But the touchinput doesn't work for the rotated display. The problem is that the resolution changed from 640x480 to 480x640 when the display is rotated. But the touchinput driver doesn't know anything about the rotation. It still works with 640x480 resolution. We hoped that we can put a filter between PhEventNext() and PtEventHandler() to adapt the input coordinates to the rotated display coordinates. But the QNX 6.5.0 documantion says you should use PtMainLoop() if you are working with widgets. We are working with widgets. So what can we do? Stephen

Letting go a little during the festive season is inevitable, but are you now feeling bloated and sluggish?
An overindulgence of alcohol, sugar and rich food can cause a build up and disrupt our normal state of equilibrium.To combat, and restore yourself back to pre-party health it's time to take action- sweating it out action.
Throughout 2012 Glam put a variety of fitness to the test, rounding up the fun, the free, the friendly and the famed ways to help get you back on track. Here's the ones we loved the most…
The free: Running apps & clubs
Dust off those trainers, it's time to hit the streets! Running offers a complete body workout, burning calories, clearing the mind and ensuring your body flows with endorphins; the hormones responsible for helping us feel less fatigued, depressed, and tense throughout the day. What's better is running outside also doesn't cost a penny. To get yourself off to a good start, and ensure you're not overdoing it Glam suggests investing in a personal running trainer, albeit an electronic one. We recommend downloading C25k (Couch to 5km, free on itunes). This handy app will ease you gently into a regular running pattern and help lessen the chances of injury from doing too much too quickly.
Alternatively sign yourself up for one of the free running clubs on offer. Running specialists Sweatshop offer groups nationwide with specialist runs for beginners. They also offer rewards for runs, enough said.
For more details visit www.sweatshop.co.uk/community.cfm
The fun: 2013′s new fitness classes
If you're lucky enough to be a member Virgin Active there's a variety of fun fitness coming to a club near you soon, including Glam's two favourites: Core-Tex™ Fast Class and Ugi class. The first trains the whole body as you twist, wobble, turn and employ your core during a variety of mobility, strength and challenge exercises. As for the latter, 30 minutes of strength, cardio and core training using big pink and purple balls (we kid you not) will put you through your paces. We challenge anyone to leave this class not dripping in sweat!
Both are currently available at Virgin Active Health Club Kensington. Find our more here.
The friendly: Nike Training Club
Social exercising can bring bigger benefits than just calorie burning and toning up. During January when the mornings and evenings are still dark and chilly, finding the motivation to work out can be tough. However, it's harder to head straight home, or snooze through your alarm if either involves letting a friend down. Glam suggests signing yourself up to a social workout, like Nike Training Club, to help you get out there and enjoy the support of training in a group. Aim for two sessions a week – an achievable goal to ease you in.

The famed: Bikram Yoga
Throughout 2012 it was hard to hide from Bikram Yoga as studios across the capital launched attractive introductory promotions- prices are normally quite steep in comparison to the cost of a standard gym membership.
Offering a complete workout for mind, body and soul a 90-minute Bikram yoga class is not for the fainthearted, nor those with an aversion to sweat. Yet, the benefits are immediate: you leave feeling cleansed; a little smug that you've sweated a bucket load of toxins; and in calm mental state – 90 minutes of no talking and self-concentration ensure that even the most chatty of minds and crowded brains are silenced. Oh, and your burn up to 600 calories per class. Need we say anymore?
Bikram Yoga is available nationwide.

This script renders an IFRAME with scroll up/down functionality of the page within. It's an excellent way to display external content in a contained space.
This script expands on the regular ticker, by delivering its messages both in sequence (one at a time), and optionally, all at once. No more waiting to get to a message you saw earlier.
This is a Javascript ticker that ticks a number of messages. The ticker has a function to display all the ticker messages together. You can also change the ticker speed.
This JavaScript allows you to scroll a text message vertically. The scroll speed is configurable.
Display and rotate content from an external file using this robust IFRAME ticker. Noteworthy features of the script include: Content is pulled from an external html file; Each content is defined inside the same page and using regular HTML, instead of inside JavaScript variables; Works in both IE4+ and NS6+, degrading well with rest (by not appearing). This script can further be combined with PHP or other server side scripting to dynamically populate the content.
This script types a textlike a type writer. The typing speed of typing can be changed easily.
On mouseover this script scrolls a given text message diagonally. The scrolling speed can be adjusted.
This JavaScript allows you to scroll any text with a sinus path. Includes a HTML code generator that allows to change parameters without any knowledge of JavaScript and HTML programming.

Electric Rainmaking Technology Gets Mexico's BlessingBut for now, doubters prevail north of the border.From at least the early 1940′s to the end of the 20th century, it always rained more in the state of Jalisco, in central Mexico, than in its neighbor Aguascalientes. But in 2000, on a patch of parched pasture in Aguascalientes, workers from Mexico City-based Electrificación Local de la Atmósfera Terrestre SA (ELAT) erected a peculiar field of interconnected metal poles and wires somewhat resembling the skeleton of a carnival tent.

Before then, they were fins, which your fishy ancestors used to swim through oceans and rivers. Once those fins sprouted digits, they could propel your salamander-like ancestors across dry land. Fast forward 300 million years, and your hands had become fine-tuned for manipulations: your lemur-like ancestors used them to grab leaves and open up fruits. Within the past few million years, your hominin ancestors had fairly human hands, which they used to fashion tools for digging up tubers, butchering carcasses, and laying the groundwork for our global dominance today.

7 Man-Made Substances that Laugh in the Face of Physics. The universe is full of weird substances like liquid metal and whatever preservative keeps Larry King alive. But mankind isn't happy to accept the weirdness of nature when we can create our own abominations of science that, due to the miracle of technology, spit in nature's face and call it retarded. That's why we came up with... Visual science. All of the Group 2 elements have two electrons in the outer shell.
They are all metals and bond electrovalently. When these metals form electrovalent bonds they lose the two electrons in the outer shell. The more shells the atom has, the more reactive it is.
