text: Great point gut health is crucial to good health but as far as excessive weight gain goes it's my opinion that it's not a major contributor. I do think it causes a host of health problems though. The thing here is the sugar and wheat that is so detrimental to gut health are the 2 things that are the major contributors to food palatability so you can't seperate them. It's seem pretty clear to me that sugar especially but also wheat and omega 6 cause all the modern illnesses independent of eachother. For example they cause poor gut health and obesity...but it seems very clear to me that they don't cause poor gut health which then causes obesity. Excess calories is the main mechanism but also lack of nutrients and things like gluten contribute. Like excess calories and sugar together caused fatty liver which can be resolved with choline even if you still consume excess calories and sugar...you no longer have fatty liver but you will still be obese. The problems are independent of eachother.

Miley Cyrus has released this photo in order to send a message to her weight critics. What do you think of her action?
The photo released by Miley Cyrus is...
Around the Web
Point taken thanks Miley.
This is really stupid. I could care less.
Miley isn't fat. Britney is.
I am sick to death of Hollywood and the modeling industry, and the media determining what is beautiful or who is fat. FEW of the examples of beauty that young women are given are real. It is ALL done with AIRBRUSHING. Take the damn makeup off and the airbrushing away, and they look like an everyday ORDINARY PERSON. Nothing special.
I think it is perfect!! I am also very impressed that Miley is useing her "star" powers for the good of things the people who feel this went to far are either guilty of hurting others in this same way and /or affaid of the truth!! Keep it up Miley you are awesome and I am a proud mama of a 5 year old who has watched and listen to you her whole life! what I am tring to say is I am glad there are roll modles like you out there for her to admire!
There is no other way to reach people these days accept for to be dramatic and excessive. if your not no one pays attention. miley is not too skinny by far and this picture proves it. the stress society puts on women to be skinny is only the half of it. it starts in childhood all through men and womens lives. gettin made fun of or being critical to the point of bullying. these poor women starving to be like what? all the actresses in the tabloids who weigh 95 pounds. who ever said skinny is beautiful?
She is absolutely right.
the only girls with there problem are skinny to begin with, girls like me who are actually over weight just wanna get to the norm like I have 200+ I actually should be 185-195 because i am tall and well endowed.

Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. Reports 4Q13 And Year Ended December 31, 2013 Results, Quarterly Dividend Of $0.55 Per Share And A Special Annual Dividend Of $1.63 Per Share
Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) (the "Company" or "Artisan Partners") today reported its results for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and net income and earnings per share for the period from March 12, 2013 (the closing date of its initial public offering) through December 31, 2013. The Company's board of directors today declared a quarterly dividend of $0.55 per share of Class A common stock and a special annual dividend of $1.63 per share of Class A common stock. Both dividends, a total of $2.18 per share, will be paid on February 28, 2014 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 14, 2014.
In reference to 2013 Eric Colson, President and CEO, said, "During the year, we evolved our capital structure through our initial public offering, we expanded our brand to new prospects overseas, we continued to evolve several investment teams and we started our sixth investment team. That represents a significant number of business accomplishments that came together over the course of twelve months to further position the firm to achieve our long-term objectives."
Business Update
Mr. Colson noted, "As of December 31, 2013, 8 of our 11 investment strategies (excluding strategies that launched after December 2008) had added value relative to their broad performance benchmarks over the trailing 5-year period and since each strategy's inception. All seven of our investment strategies with a 10-year track record have added value relative to their broad performance benchmarks. In addition, more than 90% of our assets under management were in strategies outperforming the respective benchmarks over the trailing 3-year and 10-year periods and since each strategy's inception. Over the trailing 5-year period our U.S. Mid-Cap Value strategy, which represents 15% of our assets under management, trails its benchmark by less than 20bps - essentially in line with the market during a strong bull market.

Last updated 11/4/14
The 49ers traded down in a deal with Dallas that sent pick 31 of the first round to the Cowboys and the No. 74 overall pick in return for the 18th pick in the first round in which the Niners plucked LSU Safety Eric Reid.
Eric Reid possesses the range needed for deep threats, something the 49ers fell susceptible to late last season. He figures to penciled in as the starter along side Donte Whitner, filling the void left by Dashon Goldston, now with the Bucs.
Reid provides the 49ers with an athletic, versatile safety, able to cover tight ends, play center field, and come up and lay the hat on running backs. With a mixture of size, speed and tackling ability Reid is a solid pick for the 49ers. Reid is an on the field leader with a knack for being around the football, an aggressive style that will mesh well with Donte Whitner and the rest of the defense.
The pick may bring a halt to the possibility of bringing in Charles Woodson, but then again you never know with Baalke and ...

It fits but yes you have to do a few things.
The shaft is too long so you have to use a deremel and cut it shorter. It does have a 2.3mm shaft. I cut a small slip of Coke can aluminum and use it as a shim between the shaft and stock pinion gear. I use some green loctite in the shaft/ shim/ pinion and red loctite on the grub screw. The pinion pushed all the way down on the motor hits where the shaft has been machined and it needs to go down further to get the pinion to mesh where it should so you have to use a couple washers to space the motor down to get the correct mesh. On my T250 I put the ESC on top of the bottom plate beneath the motor. On the HK250GT with the longer motor and thicker 18A Turnigy Plush ESC I have the ESC zip tied under the helo. Bottom line is this motor make this (or any other 250) scream. It's worth the fiddling to put one in. |

Microheli's precision tail
... I still have problem with
I am a bit disappointed with it... Only troubles... First I wanted to take tail hub from original tail I've broken .9mm hex screwdriver + slipped the grub screw and now can't take it off... Secondly I put everything together and realised that tail belt was set wrong way round. When I tried to take it off long screw that holds the tail assembly over tail boom broke 2mm in and I couldn't get the rest of it out. And, no, I didn't use red loctite in it! I even broke a 1.2mm drill bit trying to drill the screw out Then I used stock tail assembly hub and rest of Microheli's parts. Stock tail assembly is 0.5mm wider. But even with original microheli's one - stock tail shaft is not appropriate - it had 1mm slop - moved through bearings. With stock tail it went to 1.5mm slop. So at the end I had to put some shims on both sides to prevent it moving (no idea was it good thing to do or not). And... I couldn't try it out as in the mean time I crashed it (twice) trying all out: first time I forgot to connect one of aileron servos (my fault - but it did fly - only it ballooned and I crashed it tail in to the garden fence) and second time tail just didn't hold (as tail shaft was moving inside of tail case) and I landed too roughly moving collectives too quickly down and making a bad tail boom strike Now as I don't have 0.9mm allen key/screwdriver I can't replace main shaft to try to get rid of horrible vibrations to try it out... - o - o -o - The worst of all is that Microheli's tail has very little slop in comparison to stock or even better stock/align combination... Also, tail slider arm is a bit longer than stock and now even moved link ball at the servo one hole outer. We'll see. I haven't given up it yet - I can see it being way forward but I hate going from heli that flew, and flew well, to lots of troubles just to it up... Bah... Rant over! |

clicky -
Send that Microheli tail back for a refund, I don't think they QC their parts with any degree of effort. When I first assembled the Microheli tail, it seemed great, no slop, screws seemed to hold well, and I thought it would do a great job. Little did I know that things just didn't line up squarely, as parts, etc. must not have been machined properly or cut to specs. Additionally, I did find myself "shimming" the metal tail gear (on the tail shaft), I used a couple little washers that popped out of the stock tail assembly, which kept the little metal gear from moving around on the tail shaft, this helped but again I still had problems. Go with the Align metal tail assembly - the stock 250 pitch slider plastic ball fits into the Align metal tail control arm with 0 slop. Additionally, if you go for the metal Align tail grips, the chinese weight mod is built-in. Once I installed the Align metal tail (used the HK stock pitch slider), all HK-250GT tail problems vanished into thin air. |

I've paid roughly £45 for the tail of which I'll get back £35 (in the best case - rest is delivery). Also, I was stung another £14 by Royal (pain the back) Mail + I would need to pay ~ £10 to send it back. Total: £70 of which I can get only half. So - there's no economic logic in sending it back and losing half of money. It turned to be way to expensive (much more than whole kit itself! ) and I have to go with it...
I still think it is improvement (although not worth money I've spent on it) over all other stuff I've put on (read align parts - original tail hub with double bearings had less slop than align one and this has almost zero - so... eh...) |

Mine is HK250GT, 3x HXT-900, Gy401 + Ino Lab 201BB, Turnigy 2627 with 30A SS ESC. Flying it with 1000mAh Lightmax 3S1 batteries. I managed to set tail to hold fairly good with align's tail slider and arm and used two sets of bearings in the original HK grips. Only other mod was using Align's feathering shaft. Rest of it is stock.
So you can see it is pretty much the lowest possible HK electronics wise (except gyro, but I'm sure HK401 would do nicely) and has very little (necessary ) deviations from the stock parts... and by no means this seems to be low end setup. Power is really stunning (for the price) and rest of it is perfectly OK |

The Super Bowl Commercial Post, 2012 Edition
Categories: Aaron Schafer, Media
Eh. Super Ball, Super Bowl...who cares? |
The Super Bowl was played yesterday -- you may have heard something about it -- and it turned out to not only be a rematch of the 2008 game between the Patriots of New England and the New York Giants, it actually turned out to basically be the same game. Much like The Hangover II tried way, way too hard to replicate the exact formula which made the first one so successful, this Super Bowl pretty much followed the script of the last one to a T.
You had the late comeback by the Giants, including the David Tyree moment courtesy of Mario Manningham this year, the failed final attempt by the Patriots, the surprisingly low point total, all of it. The same damned game.
Okay, so it was the same damned absolute classic of a game, but still. I saw this movie already. And really, I only watch for the commercials anyway. Though I guess getting to see MIA flip off the camera while fancying herself a real rebel was alright. (Terrible halftime show, by the way; the dude in a toga bouncing on a piece of tape was okay, but beyond that I mostly just felt bad for Cee-Lo Green, who really deserved better.) Still, it was yet another thin year for the commercials, even after I threatened last year to just stop caring about them altogether.
I'll give an honourable mention to the Acura NSX commercial with Jerry Seinfeld, just because I enjoyed seeing the Soup Nazi. Honorable mentions also go to the Dannon commercial featuring John Stamos getting headbutted, because I've always wanted to see John Stamos get headbutted, and the Ferris Bueller spot. Sure, it was actually pretty lame, and the fact people have been talking about it for a couple of weeks already after someone decided we now need commercials for commercials made it even lamer, but it's still tough not to like Matthew Broderick talking to the camera.
I do have to give a dishonorable mention to the newest Go Daddy commercial, though. Don't get me wrong; I was never a huge fan of their adverts in the first place, but by this point in time they're basically just making softcore porn flicks. And I say that's just wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. You want people to remember your company? You've got to go all the way.
I'm thinking you get some guy to tattoo Go Daddy on his dick and then make a series of hardcore pornographic films. Danica Patrick certainly seems like she'll do anything for a commercial, so I'm sure we could get her on board. Now all we need is a dude. Someone who would be willing to sacrifice his dignity for a commercial. Better yet, someone who has no dignity to begin with! Maybe an internet columnist of some sort....you see where I'm going with this, right? Plus, let's be frank here: thirty second spots would be absolutely perfect for me.
Anyhow, now that we've got that out of the way, let's move on to the five best Super Bowl ads of 2012, shall we? Why five? Because it was a bad year and I couldn't come up with ten.

I started using an e-cig since September. I bought it on a Sunday and have not had a cigarette since. It is great. I have taken my nicotine level down from 24 to 11. I totally recommend it for anyone who is trying to quit smoking. Since I started using one, I see them everywhere. »

As a rock and roll, rhythm & blues, soul, blues, jazz, country and pop musician he helped to shape the sound of rhythm & blues.
He brought a soulful sound to everything from country music ("I Can't Stop Loving You") to rock and roll ("Mess Around"), to pop standards to a now-iconic rendition of "America The Beautiful." Frank Sinatra called him "the only genius in the business."
Ray Charles was born in Albany, Georgia on September 23, 1930. He was the son of Aretha Williams, a share cropper, and Bailey Robinson, a railroad repair man, mechanic and handyman. The two were never married. The family moved to Greenville, Florida, when Ray was an infant. Bailey had three more families, leaving Aretha to raise the family on her own.
Ray Charles was not born blind. He started to lose his sight somewhere at the age of five. He was rendered totally blind by the age of seven. Charles never knew exactly why he lost his sight, though there are sources that suggest his blindness was due to glaucoma, and some other sources suggest that Ray began to lose his sight from an infection caused by soapy water to his eyes which was left untreated. He attended school at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine, Florida from 1937-1945 where he developed his musical gift that he is known and remembered for today. His father died when he was ten, followed by his mother five years later.
In school, he was taught only classical music, but he wanted to play what he heard on the radio, jazz and blues. After his mother died, Charles did not return to school. He lived in Jacksonville with a couple who were friends of his mother. For over a year, he played the piano for bands at the Ritz Theatre in LaVilla, earning $4 a night. Charles moved to Orlando, then Tampa, where he played "with a hillbilly band called The Florida Playboys." This is where Charles began his reputation of always wearing sunglasses that were made by designer Billy Stickles.
Charles had always played for other people, but he wanted a band that was his own. He decided to leave Florida for a large city, but Chicago and New York City were too big. He moved to Seattle in 1947 and soon started recording, first for the label Swing Time Records, achieving his first hit with the 1949 "Confession Blues". The song soared to #2 on the R&B charts. He followed his first recording with his only other hit with Swingtime, "Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand" in 1951. It hit #5 on the R&B charts. He then signed with Ahmet Ertegün at Atlantic Records a year later. When he entered show business, his name was shortened to Ray Charles to avoid confusion with boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.
Breakthrough period with Atlantic Records
Almost immediately after signing with Atlantic, Charles scored his first hit singles with the label with "It Should Have Been Me" and the Ertegün-composed "Mess Around", both making the charts in 1953. But it was Charles' "I Got A Woman" (composed with band mate Renald Richard) that brought the musician to national prominence.
The song reached the top of Billboard's R&B singles chart in 1955 and from there until 1959, Charles would have a series of R&B chart-toppers including "This Little Girl of Mine", "Lonely Avenue", "Mary Ann", "Drown in My Own Tears" and "The Night Time (Is the Right Time)", which were compiled on his Atlantic releases Hallelujah, I Love Her So, Yes Indeed!, and The Genius Sings the Blues. Charles was often cited for using his voice like a saxophone, most notably by the prominent critic Victor Bollo. During this time of transition, he recruited a young girl group from Philadelphia named The Cookies as his background singing group, recording with them in New York and changing their name to the Raelettes in the process.
Crossover success
In 1959, Charles crossed over to top 40 radio with the release of his impromptu blues number, "What'd I Say", which was initially conceived while Charles was in concert. The song would reach number 1 on the R&B list and would become Charles' first top ten single on the pop charts, peaking at number 6. Charles would also record The Genius of Ray Charles, before leaving Atlantic for a more lucrative deal with ABC Records in 1959.
Hit songs such as "Georgia On My Mind" (US #1), "Hit the Road Jack" (US #1) and "Unchain My Heart" (US #9) helped him transition to pop success and his landmark 1962 album, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music and its sequel Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2, helped to bring country into the mainstream of music. He also had major pop hits in 1963 with "Busted" (US #4) and "Take These Chains From My Heart" (US #8), and also scoring a Top 20 hit four years later, in 1967, with "Here We Go Again" (US #15) (which would later be duetted with Norah Jones in 2004).
Later years
In 1965, Charles was arrested for possession of heroin, a drug to which he had been addicted for nearly 20 years. It was his third arrest for the offence, but he avoided jail time after kicking the habit in a clinic in Los Angeles. He spent a year on parole in 1966, when his single "Crying Time" reached #6 on the charts.
During the late 1960s and into the 1970s, Charles' releases were hit-or-miss, with some big hits and critically acclaimed work. His version of "Georgia On My Mind" was proclaimed the state song of Georgia on April 24, 1979, with Charles performing it on the floor of the state legislature. He also had success with his unique version of "America the Beautiful."
In November 1977 Charles appeared as the host of NBC's Saturday Night Live. In the 1980s a number of other events increased Charles' recognition among young audiences. He made a cameo appearance in the popular 1980 film The Blues Brothers. In 1985, "The Right Time" was featured in the episode "Happy Anniversary" of The Cosby Show on NBC. The next year in 1986, he sang America The Beautiful at Wrestlemania 2. In a Pepsi Cola commercial of the early 1990s, Charles popularized the catchphrase "You Got the Right One, Baby!" plus he helped in the song "We Are the World" a touching song for USA for Africa.
Despite his support of Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1960s and his support for the American Civil Rights Movement, Charles courted controversy when he toured South Africa in 1981, during an international boycott of the country because of its apartheid policy.
Charles recorded a cover version of the Japanese band Southern All Stars' song "Itoshi no Ellie" as "Ellie My Love" for a Suntory TV advertisement, reaching #3 on Japan's Oricon chart. Eventually, it sold more than 400,000 copies, and became that year's best-selling single performed by a Western artist for the Japanese music market.
Besides winning 17 Grammy Awards in his career (include five posthumous ones), Charles was also honored in many other ways. In 1979, he was one of the first honorees of the Georgia State Music Hall of Fame being recognized for being a musician born in the state. Ray's version of "Georgia On My Mind" was made into the official state song for Georgia. In 1981, he was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was one of the first inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at its inaugural ceremony in 1986. He received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1986. In 1987, he was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 1991, he was inducted to the Rhythm & Blues Foundation. In 1998 he was awarded the Polar Music Prize together with Ravi Shankar in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2004 he was inducted to the Jazz Hall of Fame, and inducted to the National Black Sports & Entertainment Hall of Fame. Also in 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #10 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
The Grammy Awards of 2005 were dedicated to Charles.
On December 7, 2007, Ray Charles Plaza was opened in Albany, Georgia, with a revolving, lighted bronze sculpture of Charles seated at a piano.
On December 26, 2007, Ray Charles was inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.
Ray Charles Post Office Building
In 2005, the U.S. postal facility located at 4960 W. Washington Blvd., in Los Angeles, California, was designated the Ray Charles Post Office Building.
On August 24, 2005, the United States Congress honored Charles by dedicating and renaming the former West Adams Station post office in Los Angeles the "Ray Charles Station".
Charles has also appeared at two Presidential inaugurations in his lifetime. In 1985, he performed for Ronald Reagan's second inauguration, and in 1993 performed for Bill Clinton's first inauguration.
In the late '80s and early '90s, Charles made appearances on The Super Dave Osbourne Show, where he performed and appeared in a few vignettes where he was somehow driving a car, often as Super Dave's chauffeur. At the height of his newfound fame in the early nineties, Charles did guest vocals for quite a few projects. He also appeared (with Chaka Khan) on long time friend Quincy Jones' hit "I'll Be Good to You" in 1990, from Jones' album Back on the Block.
Following Jim Henson's death in 1990, Ray Charles appeared in the one-hour CBS tribute, The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson. He gave a short speech about the deceased, stating that Henson "took a simple song and a piece of felt and turned it into a moment of great power". Charles was referring to the song "It's Not Easy Being Green", which Charles later performed with the rest of the Muppet cast in a tribute to Henson's legacy.
During the sixth season of Designing Women, Ray Charles vocally performed "Georgia On My Mind", rather than the song being rendered by other musicians without lyrics as in the previous five seasons
During his life he received eight honorary doctorates, the last from Dillard University in New Orleans in 2003. Later that same year, he performed his 10,000th career concert at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
Charles finalized "Genius Loves Company" a duets album in 2004, which posthumously became the best selling album of his career. Norah Jones, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Michael McDonald, Bonnie Raitt, Gladys Knight, Johnny Mathis and James Taylor are just a few of the notable artists involved with the project.
Charles was awarded the prestigious "President's Merit Award" from the Grammy(r) organization and was named a City of Los Angeles "Cultural Treasure" by LA Mayor James Hahn during "African American Heritage Month" in a ceremony that he attended. He also received the NAACP Image Awards' "Hall of Fame Award."
Charles died in July 2004 in California. Three months later, his biopic "Ray" opened in theaters. The performance of Jamie Foxx as Ray gave him an Oscar for best lead performance in a feature film.
Recently, a series of slot machines were designed in Charles' name for the visually handicapped and the legendary performer was also named a "living legend" by the Library of Congress.
Charles once told an interviewer from USA Today, "Music to me is just like breathing. I have to have it. It's part of me."

River & Stream Flooding Information……………Tonight-Tomorrow
January 30th, 2013 at 4:06 pm by Chad Evans under Chad's WLFI Weather BlogLATEST RIVER & STREAM FLOODING INFORMATION FROM NWS HYDROLOGISTS:
NWS Indianapolis: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=ind
NWS North Webster: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=iwx
NWS Chicago: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=lot
NWS Lincoln: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=ilx
Temperatures are tanking with freezing line racing eastward.
Any moisture may freeze tonight & any snow showers & flurries will stick, given lows in the teens. Even if it is a very thin film of snow, there may be a few slick spots. ALSO, there have been reports of some patchy freezing drizzle in Illinois prior to any flakes. This may affect us in places this evening.
However, windy conditions will prevent if from getting much more icy as the air will tend to dry out the pavement somewhat before a lot of the wetness freezes.
If there is any snowfall accumulation tonight, it would be the grass/pavement whitened…………same thing for tomorrow with flurries & some snow showers around.
The cold will shock you though. Wind chills will drop to -3 by early tomorrow morning & still be in the single digits in the afternoon! Northwest winds may gust over 30 mph at times tonight-tomorrow.
