Most people know that high cholesterol levels contribute to heart disease. But many don't realize that a high cholesterol level also contributes to stroke risk. Cholesterol, a waxy substance produced by the liver, is a vital body product. It contributes to the production of hormones and vitamin D and is an integral component of cell membranes.
The liver makes enough cholesterol to fuel the body's needs and this natural production of cholesterol alone is not a large contributing factor to atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. Research has shown that the danger from cholesterol comes from a dietary intake of foods that contain high levels of cholesterol. Foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol, like meats, eggs, and dairy products, can increase the amount of total cholesterol in the body to alarming levels, contributing to the risk of atherosclerosis and thickening of the arteries.
Cholesterol is classified as a lipid, meaning that it is fat-soluble rather than water-soluble. Other lipids include fatty acids, glycerides, alcohol, waxes, steroids, and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E. Lipids and water, like oil and water, do not mix. Blood is a water-based liquid, therefore cholesterol does not mix with blood. In order to travel through the blood without clumping together, cholesterol needs to be covered by a layer of protein. The cholesterol and protein together are called a lipoprotein.
There are two kinds of cholesterol, commonly called the "good" and the "bad." Good cholesterol is high-density lipoprotein (HDL); bad cholesterol is low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Together, these two forms of cholesterol make up a person's total serum cholesterol level. Most cholesterol tests measure the level of total cholesterol in the blood and don't distinguish between good and bad cholesterol. For these total serum cholesterol tests, a level of less than 200 mg/dL is considered safe, while a level of more than 240 is considered dangerous and places a person at risk for heart disease and stroke. "mg/dL" describes the weight of cholesterol in milligrams in a deciliter of blood. This is the standard way of measuring blood cholesterol levels.
Most cholesterol in the body is in the form of LDL. LDLs circulate through the bloodstream, picking up excess cholesterol and depositing cholesterol where it is needed (for example, for the production and maintenance of cell membranes). But when too much cholesterol starts circulating in the blood, the body cannot handle the excessive LDLs, which build up along the inside of the arterial walls. The buildup of LDL coating on the inside of the artery walls hardens and turns into arterial plaque, leading to stenosis and atherosclerosis. This plaque blocks blood vessels and contributes to the formation of blood clots. A person's LDL level should be less than 130 mg/dL to be safe. LDL levels between 130 and 159 put a person at a slightly higher risk for atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. A score over 160 puts a person at great risk for a heart attack or stroke.
The other form of cholesterol, HDL, is beneficial and contributes to stroke prevention. HDL carries a small percentage of the cholesterol in the blood, but instead of depositing its cholesterol on the inside of artery walls, HDL returns to the liver to unload its cholesterol. The liver then eliminates the excess cholesterol by passing it along to the kidneys. Currently, any HDL score higher than 35 is considered desirable. Recent studies have shown that high levels of HDL are associated with a reduced risk for heart disease and stroke and that low levels (less than 35 mg/dL), even in people with normal levels of LDL, lead to an increased risk for heart disease and stroke.
A person may lower his risk for atherosclerosis and stroke by improving his cholesterol levels. A healthy diet and regular exercise are the best ways to lower total cholesterol levels. In some cases, physicians may prescribe cholesterol-lowering medication, and recent studies have shown that the newest types of these drugs, called reductase inhibitors or statin drugs, significantly reduce the risk for stroke in most patients with high cholesterol. Scientists believe that statins may work by reducing the amount of bad cholesterol the body produces and by reducing the body's inflammatory immune reaction to cholesterol plaque associated with atherosclerosis and stroke.

Derailment at London Paddington station 25 May 2014
RAIB is investigating a derailment that occurred at London Paddington main line station, on Sunday 25 May 2014.
The train that derailed was an empty five car Class 360/2 passenger train (reporting number 5T08), manufactured by Siemens and operated by Heathrow Express. It was travelling from Old Oak Common to Paddington in preparation for entering passenger service.
At 05:20 hrs, both sets of wheels on the leading bogie of the third vehicle derailed to the left when the vehicle was about 150 metres from the buffer stops in platform 3 and travelling at between 12 and 14 mph (19.3 and 22.5 km/h).
The driver twice stopped the train after it derailed. On both occasions, unaware of what had happened, he restarted the train. As a consequence, the train ran nearly 100 metres in a derailed state and was finally stopped with the right side of the derailed bogie in a pit that was located between the rails, which lifted both wheels on the left side of the rear bogie off the rails. No one was injured.
Platform 3 remained closed for the remainder of the day.Image of derailed vehicle at Paddington station
RAIB's investigation, being conducted with the assistance of the industry parties involved, is examining the sequence of events leading up to the derailment to identify the causes. This includes consideration of the design, maintenance and condition of both the track and the derailed vehicle.
The investigation has found that there was an imbalance of wheel loads across each of the bogies on the derailed vehicle; the imbalance was in the opposite direction on each bogie. Measurements confirmed that the bogie frames were sitting with one side higher than the other one. The imbalance was likely caused by uneven setting of the anti-roll bar links causing the anti-roll bars to carry loads between the body and bogies. This issue has been notified to and within the industry; and the RAIB has been informed that actions are being taken in response.
RAIB's investigation is independent of any investigation by the safety authority (the Office of Railway Regulation).
RAIB will publish its findings, including any recommendations to improve safety, at the conclusion of its investigation. These findings will be available on the RAIB website.

Perla Del Mar Reviews

Perla Del Mar Perla TG
"Perla Del Mar Perla TG - Outstanding!"
Perla Del Mar Perla G
Let me start by saying I m not a huge Connecticut wrapper fan. That being said, I got this as a bonus cigar with an order I placed. I read the reviews and thought, Ok, we ll see about that. . I tried it last night for an Independence Day celebratory smoke, and was completely blown away. Have I mentioned that I m not a huge Connecticut wrapper fan? I could not BELIEVE the awesome flavor of this cigar. I almost burned my lips smoking it out of existence. VERY sorry to see this one die. So I went back and dug deeper on my research and, sure enough, there was the reason staring me in the face. Before lighting this cigar up, I had no idea who made it. When I discovered it was a J.C. Newman creation, everything suddenly became crystal clear. I will be buying these IN BULK at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Newman, YOU sir, are a genius. This is the ONLY Connecticut wrapper I will be stocking in my humidor.

"Enjoyed very much"
Perla Del Mar Perla G
Received one free from cigar monster. Enjoyed this cigar to the nub! Very well constructed, nice flavor,pleasantly surprised. Will order more.
Mike in Ohio July 2, 2014
"An interesting smoke"
Perla Del Mar Perla G
The first thing I noticed was how easily this cigar lit. However the next thing was a medium to strong taste with an after bite. This went on for about the first 1/2 in then... magically all things change. It became a nice, mellow, mild to medium tasting smoke. Now, I am an intermittant smoker... a puff every 2 to 4 or 5 minutes so occasionaly a cigar will go out. This, after 5 minutes, wnt out. As I relit, an odd thing happened. For the next 1/2 in the smoke was again medium to strong and it had that after bite again. Then, as before, it suddenly changed to mild to medium again for the rest of the smoke. The only problem I had with this nice cigar was a slight uneven burn. A good cigar for a Jekyll %26 Hyde taster.
Bobby in Huntington, NY June 29, 2014
"Pleasant, smooth, light"
Perla Del Mar Perla G
This mild cigar is perfect as an after-breakfast stick. The light ecuadorian wrapper smokes like a connecticut, but without the varnishy off-tastes that comes along with some other brands in this price range. The flavor is not complex, which makes it perfect for a cool summer day. I m tempted to say this cigar is under-priced, but you won t see me complaining. They got it just right.
Jim B in Galloway, NJ June 22, 2014
"Free taster!"
Perla Del Mar Perla G
Got this with a Cigar Monster purchase. Looked great out of the package. Good construction with that nice box-pressed feel and razor sharp burn. Big one-inch ashes and lots of thick smoke. I will definitely be considering this for a light tasting cigar to keep on hand! Thanks Famous!
Shawn in Colorado June 5, 2014
"Not My Cup Of Tea"
Perla Del Mar Perla G
Cigar looked good and the burn was OK. Construction was a little soft and I kept waiting to turn the corner for the taste to improve. After the first half and no improvements in taste I m sad to say I had to chuck it. Won t revisit this one.
Mr. Blues in Central MN June 4, 2014
"free and delicious"
Perla Del Mar Perla P
Recieved one of these free with my cigar monster purchase! Was skeptical at first but thought what the heck! Very well constructed looks and tastes good has a good draw with an almost perfect burn!! Will be ordering some for the old humidor soon!!
dustin in missouri May 30, 2014
"Great smoke for the price."
Perla Del Mar Perla G
Great smoke mild and smooth. If you want a mild to medium cigar this is the one for you!!
Frank T in Edison April 29, 2014
"This is the stick I compare others to!"
What a surprise this Perla is! My brother brought one by to celebrate dads b-day.
A thick creamy smoke, with outstanding flavor. Great burn, and construction as well. My son and I still compare all other sticks we try to the Perla. Great price for a cigar of this quality. Will be trying the TG next!

France and Britain forge new path with defense treaty
France and Britain inked a defense treaty Tuesday that will allow sharing of nuclear secrets and the creation of a rapid-reaction force. President Sarkozy called the accord 'unprecedented.'
Suzanne Plunkett/Reuters
The new spirit of European austerity reached the French and UK militaries as leaders of the two nations agreed today on joint commands and nuclear testing cooperation.
"Today, we open a new chapter in a long history of cooperation on defense and security between Britain and France," said British Prime Minister David Cameron as the ink dried on a treaty signed in London.
The Franco-British treaty is apt for "a world where resources are tight," said British Defense chief Liam Fox.
The deal amounts to the first steps in a new Anglo-French military relationship that will mean sharing nuclear secrets and the creation of a rapid-reaction force, the 6,500-strong Combined Joint Expeditionary Force.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy called the deal "unprecedented … showing a level of trust and confidence between our two nations which is unequaled in history."
The treaty speaks more to a political and diplomatic entente, analysts say, than to any immediate military synchronization. It marks the end of the bitter disagreement over the Iraq war, which France refused to participate in. The signing ceremony today hearkened back to the 1904 Entente Cordiale, in which France and England put old animosities behind them.
The deal could more tightly bond the two largest military powers in Europe – even as the center of economic gravity and political power on the Continent shifts to Germany.

XINDIANAPOLIS: J.R. Smith scored 21 points and Kevin Love had 17 points and 10 rebounds, but the short-handed Cavs kept the game close in the final minute before falling to the Indiana Pacers 93-86 on Friday.
The Cavs were playing without both LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. James was resting while Irving was out with a strained left shoulder. Both are expected back when the Cavs play at Houston on Sunday.
Despite missing two of their biggest stars, the Cavs wee within 88-84 following a 3-pointer from Smith with 1:06 left before the Pacers held on. George Hill had 15 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds for his first career triple-double for the Pacers, who made Frank Vogel the winningest coach in team history with the victory.
Matthew Dellavedova set a career high in shot attempts, but finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and five assists while shooting 5 for 18 in a rare start. Iman Shumpert had 14 points and 10 rebounds.
To read more or comment...INDIANAPOLIS: LeBron James and Kyrie Irving will not play tonight when the Cavs host the Indiana Pacers. Irving was ruled out with a left shoulder strain, while coach David Blatt made the decision to rest James after his back stiffened during Thursday's win over the Warriors.
Blatt said the decision to rest James was based on "a combination of things" and not one specific ailment. Blatt made the decision himself.
"It was not his idea, it was mine. Let's put it that way," Blatt said. "We have our hand on the pulse of LeBron and all our players. We're doing what we have to do here to keep our team healthy all the way through the season."
Irving had an MRI Friday on his shoulder after he injured it in Thursday's victory. Blatt is hopeful he can return Sunday when the Cavs play at the Houston Rockets.

MORE: Marla Ridenour: MRI for Kyrie Irving tempers Cavs' statement victory over Warriors
2. At one point, a discussion about the MVP race surfaced. NBA TV's Matt Winer, the event's moderator, referred to James as a four-time MVP and to Curry as the favorite to win it this year. I wasn't taking notes so I'm paraphrasing here, but James paused before offering a flimsy endorsement, agreeing with the idea Curry is the favorite to win. I remember thinking at the time, "There is absolutely no way he actually believes that." His performance Thursday perhaps introduced his candidacy for a late run at a fifth trophy of his own.
To read more or comment...CLEVELAND: LeBron James' playoff scowl was unmistakable.
The 20,562 fans in Quicken Loans Arena who were worked into a post-season frenzy for Thursday's showdown with the Golden State Warriors saw it. Those tweeting from their sectional sofas saw it.
James went with the routine that during his first Cleveland incarnation used to match the scowl. He was the first man on the court at 5:30 p.m., 21/2 hours before tipoff, eager to find his rhythm.
"I didn't miss many shots in the pre-game warmup," James said. "I was locked in from the time I got to the arena until the end of the game."
To read more or comment...CLEVELAND: Kyrie Irving did not travel with the team to Indiana on Thursday and will instead have an MRI on his ailing left shoulder Friday morninig. He is listed as doubtful for Friday night's game at the Pacers.
Irving was injured in the third quarter of the Cavs' 110-99 victory Thursday night, but returned to play the fourth quarter. He scored 24 points and the Cavs won for the 18th time in their last 20 games, but the celebration will be muted if Irving is forced to miss an extended amount of time.
"It's a little sore right now," Irving said. "Obviously it's uncomfortable. We'll see how it feels tomorrow."
To read more or comment...CLEVELAND: LeBron James' candidacy for Most Valuable Player has been slow to gain traction this season but with seven weeks left, that might soon start changing.
James scored a season-high 42 points, Kyrie Irving scored 24 and the Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors on Thursday 110-99 for their 18th victory in their last 20 games.
MORE: Cavaliers-Warriors box score
Despite winning four MVP awards, James has gone largely unnoticed this season while the Warriors' Steph Curry and Houston's James Harden have garnered most of the attention. But James outscored and outplayed Curry on Thursday, scoring more points than both Splash Brothers combined. Curry scored 18 points and Klay Thompson had 13 for the Warriors, who lost for the second time in their last three games. They haven't dropped two games this close together since Christmas.

Preview: HHS boys golfers have high hopes this year
Talk about an amazing way to get the season started: During a scrimmage last week, the Hastings boys golf team beat the defending state champions from Rogers by three strokes at a scrimmage. That great start will do nothing to cool the expectations of the Raiders coming into this season.
Hastings shot a 305 at Hastings Country Club, posting a total of six scores in the 70s. The top four scores count in varsity golf, meaning Hastings golfers shot an average of 76 on the day.

Underwear bomber gets life: He never expressed doubt or remorse, judge says
During the hearing, prosecutors played a video tape prepared by the FBI laboratory showing the potential explosive force of Abdulmutallab's device. During the demonstration, Abdulmutallab twice called out: "Allahu akbar," which is Arabic for God is great.
The sentence is similar to the punishment given to admitted shoe bomber Richard Reid, who received three life sentences for his attempt in 2001 to detonate explosives in his shoes during a transatlantic flight to the US. That bomb also did not detonate.
Federal prosecutors had argued that Abdulmutallab represented a continuing threat to US citizens and was likely to attempt another suicide attack should the opportunity present itself. They said he should receive the maximum sentence – life in prison.
A court-appointed defense lawyer, Anthony Chambers of Detroit, said in court filings that life in prison was an excessive punishment given that no one but Adbulmutallab was injured during his failed bombing attempt. Mr. Chambers said sentencing Abdulmutallab to life in prison would violate the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Judge Edmunds rejected the argument.
In a statement, Attorney General Eric Holder praised the outcome of the case. He and other Obama administration officials had been criticized by Republicans for not turning Abdulmutallab over to the military for harsh interrogation.
The attorney general defended the FBI's actions. "Today's sentence once again underscores the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in both incapacitating terrorists and gathering valuable intelligence from them," he said.

Alan Seymour
Alan Seymour (born 6 June 1927 in Fremantle, Western Australia),[1] is an Australian playwright and author. His father was killed in a wharf accident when Alan was nine, and after that he was brought up by his sister May and her husband, Alfred Chester Cruthers. He was educated at Perth Modern School, leaving at 15 after failing to complete the Junior Certificate. He found work as a radio announcer in a commercial radio station 6PM. During his two years there he wrote a number of short radio plays that were broadcast live. In 1945 he moved to Sydney where he worked as an advertising copy-writer with 2UE.[2]
He returned to Perth after the war where he worked as a free-lance writer for ABC Radio. Seymour became ABC Radio's film critic. He joined a commercial radio station 6KY as an announcer and copy-writer and after six months was offered an announcing post at the ABC. In November 1949, Seymour returned to Sydney where he became an educational and freelance drama writer for ABC Radio and later television. From 1953 to 1957 he was theatrical director for the Sydney Opera Group. His first play, Swamp Creatures, premiered by the Canberra Repertory Society, was a finalist in the London Observer play competition in 1957.[2]
Seymour left Australia in 1961 and worked in London as a television writer, producer and commissioning editor with the BBC, and as a theatre critic for The London Magazine.[2] From 1966-1971 he lived in Turkey and wrote novels, stage plays and magazine articles. From 1974-81 Seymour was a script editor and occasional producer with BBC Television, after which he returned to free-lance writing.[2] He returned to live in Sydney in 1995.[1]
His best-known play, The One Day of the Year was written in 1958 for an amateur playwriting competition, inspired by an article in the University of Sydney newspaper Honi Soit lambasting Anzac Day.[1]
The play met with huge controversy on its release. Initially it was rejected by the Adelaide Festival of Arts Board of Governors in 1960,[1] but was first performed on 20 July 1960 as an amateur production by the Adelaide Theatre Group.[3] In April 1961, at the first professional season at the Palace Theatre in Sydney, a bomb scare during a dress rehearsal forced police to clear the theatre.[1] Later that year the production was staged at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, in London. Since then it has been staged regularly throughout Australia and internationally. It is also studied in various school curricula.
The One Day of the Year dramatised what Seymour imagined to be the growing social divide in Australia and the questioning of old values. In the play, Anzac Day is criticized by the central character, Hughie, as a day of drunken debauchery by returned soldiers and as a day when questions of what it means to be loyal to a Nation or Empire must be raised. The character of Alf in the play is based on Seymour's brother-in-law, Alfred Crothers.
Despite the criticisms of Anzac Day expressed in the play, the term has since been adopted as expressing the importance of Anzac Day.[citation needed]
Although Seymour is best known in Australia for The One Day of the Year, his international reputation relates not only to this early play, but also to his many screenplays, television scripts and adaptations of novels for film and television.[2]

Here's what other sites are saying:
When you're miles from nowhere with nothing but trackless powder in front of you, the phrase 'less is more' can mean a lot. The Burton 20L Day Hiker Backpack has all the features that you need and none that you don't to keep the weight to a bare minimum. This hydration-compatible pack comes complete with Burton's cush, ergonomic back panel and shoulder harness to keep you comfortable, even if you're hauling your snowboard up a steep climb. Speaking of hauling your snowboard, Burton's triple-strap vertical carry system is probably the most stable on the market. To finish the Day Hiker off, Burton added a fleece-lined media pocket and an internal storage pocket to keep you organized during your excursion to the wild, blue yonder.

With Turistas, Stockwell dives head-first into a veritable riptide of churning, vicious exploitation cinema, and the result is surprisingly effective.
Before it descends into dull sadism and general incoherence in its third act, Turistas is a mostly effective exploitation picture, the kind of movie that would have been proudly displayed on the marquee of a '70s-era grindhouse.
As the latest in a never-ending chain of thrillers about young people lost and dying in a hostile land, John Stockwell's Turistas at least offers the visual benefits of exotic settings and a cast of barely clad hardbodies.
Nasty stuff. It's xenophobic (message: Americans, steer clear of the Third World); it's photogenic (the Sports Illustrated-likeswimsuit issue beach scenes, the colorful villages, the lush landscapes); it's gruesome (operating table POV shots); and it's violent.
Turistas is not a slasher film -- not conventionally. Released by Fox's new teen division, it's the latest aquatic titillation from John Stockwell, the man who also brought us "Blue Crush" and the shockingly good "Into the Blue."
Starts out as an effective little horror movie before devolving into an incoherent mess during its final 30 minutes.
Turistas seeks to exploit the current craze for torture-porn, but it lacks the relentless sadism of the "Saw" franchise. More than half the movie is dull buildup.
Horror fans will twitch impatiently at those long stretches between killings. And audiences anticipating a feature-length "Girls Gone Wild" video will suffer withdrawal from the lack of loosened bra straps.
The cast is unusually good for this sort of film, which only makes the poor execution more regrettable.
Once the gore and suspense take over, this becomes mechanical and unpleasant.
The movie, with the exception of that lone squirmy surgery scene, is "Hostel" without sadism, thrills, or funky severed-limb F/X. It quickly turns into a very dull escape thriller.
Once the torture finally commences, the film attempts to float a political point about the Third World taking back First World health-care privileges, but the chief torturers' sadistic humanitarianism is never seriously considered.
The result of this blender mash of exotic horror isn't much of anything at all, neither suspenseful, terrifying or inventively gory: Turistas is dead on arrival.
It all begins to fall apart around the midway point, before completely unraveling into a confused, murky mess.
The "Hostel" similarities may strike some as too close for comfort, not only in plot outline but also in general mix of xenophobia, sexploitation, sadism and gore.
The stalwart American hero of Turistas comes off as a dislikable blank in the hands of Josh Duhamel, of the TV series "Las Vegas." More relaxed is Melissa George, who co-stars as the Aussie.
Turistas has mastered the international language: stupidity.
Turistas eventually bogs down in an underlit mess.
The movie is less painful than having your kidneys removed, but Turistas doesn't offer a trip entertaining enough to take.
These people are so stupid that they make us think, well, wait a second: Maybe those livers and kidneys could be put to better use.
There are a couple of minutes of unscheduled surgery to put this in the sadistic fantasy genre of "Saw" and "Hostel," but mostly the movie plays out like a cheap survivalist copy of the television series "Lost."
There's only one surgery scene, but it's the heart (and kidneys) of Turistas. The rest -- especially the incoherent action -- falls well below the mark set by the last Americans Abroad torture-porn picture, "Hostel."
A grubby, lethally dull bid to cash in on the new extreme horror, the film turns on a conceit as frayed as Freddy Krueger's shtick.
Director John Stockwell ("Blue Crush") and screenwriter Michael Ross have only two things in mind: titillation and giving young audiences something gross to whisper about in school the next day. On that limited basis, Turistas may well succeed. But that's nothing to brag about.
Endless and tedious. It's also written-in-crayon, smack-your-face dumb, and edited so that every other shot is a close-up of a flailing limb.
Turistas fails in almost every way a movie like this can.

Condo units shrinking in bid to keep prices affordable
Developers trim unit sizes to keep prices affordable in wake of lending curbs
Published on Apr 28, 2014 6:53 AM
Sizes of condominium units here are shrinking as developers battle to keep new project prices affordable in ever tougher market conditions, a new study by property consultancy Knight Frank has found.
A string of cooling measures and stricter lending guidelines have made it harder for home hunters to finance new purchases.
The smaller units being built by developers mean lower overall prices which fit with buyers' shrinking budgets, Knight Frank noted.
The study looked at suburban condominiums launched in the past year and the impact of the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework introduced last June.

Minnesota employers eliminated 11,400 jobs in April. The state's unemployment rate fell to 5.3% last month, and remains well below the national rate of 7.5%. The Department of Employment and Economic Development's Steve Hine says the April unemployment rate also reflects revisions to March figures. He says that 5,200 jobs were originally reported lost, but following revisions that's down to just 3,300 shed. The biggest job losses last month occurred in trade, transportation and utilities, down 5,700, followed by government down 2,000.

Daily Grace , Posted on 3/19/2012 by Krister
I'll be honest with you guys: I have no idea what Hunger Games is about. The best I can tell from the trailer, this movie is kind of like Battle Royale, just with fewer Japanese kids getting shot. Which is cool with me, because that movie was seriously disturbing! But I digress.
The point is, for you fans of THG (are we calling it that? I am.), you can never get enough inside info on this soon-to-be blockbuster, and what better way to get the scoop than from these highly spoilerific deleted scenes that our own Daily Grace managed to snag?
This will blow your mind and change everything. GO HERE NOW.

What if you knew nothing about The Hunger Games? What if you knew nothing about The Hunger Games and spent a lot of time on internet sites where Hunger Games fans post animated GIFs about the film constantly? What if you knew nothing about The Hunger Games and spent a lot of time on internet sites where Hunger Games fans post animated GIFs about the film constantly AND you were a contributor to Slacktory? Well then you would probably be just like this guy. You might also be living under a rock. So, sorry about that. Try getting a new apartment or something. Although it would seem to be a rock with internet access, so, maybe it's not so bad there? I don't know. Tell me in the comments how it is.

Can we talk about Grace's brother Tim for a minute and how much we love him? Seriously. How adorable is he? Not only is he a raging botanist, he is almost as hilarious as his sister. For example: He decided to re-write The Hunger Games famous cave scene for you, and used cut-out images taped to straws as puppets. HE CUT OUT IMAGES TAPED TO STRAWS AS PUPPETS. And he knows what anemone look like if you slice one. And he's related to Grace. And he makes us laugh. And... well, I mean... don't you think he's adorable?

I think Jennifer Lawrence is a great actress, seems like a nice person, and is super duper attractive obviously. Like, I'm attracted to her. But everyone says my sister looks so much like her. All the time! It bothers me, freaks me out a little. "I don't want to have sex with my sister! I don't want to have sex with my sister!" I scream this at least three times a week.
The Night Feed , Posted on 11/11/2013 by Liz Belsky
When I read this headline the first time, I thought it was from The Onion. I seriously thought it was a joke, because, like, in what universe would anyone think this is a good idea? Well, apparently, this one. Which, incidentally, is the same universe where you can buy CoverGirl "Capitol Beauty Studio" makeup, Capitol Couture clothing created by the Catching Fire wardrobe designer, and Subway "Fiery Footlong" sandwiches. Because nothing evokes the spirit of a world where impoverished, starving children are forced to kill each other on reality TV to provide food for their districts like putting a pound of meat between two twelve-inch slices of bread and eating it all in one sitting!
I thought the Subway thing was bad. (Seriously, can you imagine how the mere idea of a Subway footlong would go down in District 12? "That sandwich would feed my family for a week!" "Well, uh, sometimes I put half of it in the fridge and eat it for dinner?") But theme parks? Seriously? The most obvious comparison here is the success of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. But the difference between Harry Potter and The Hunger Games is that while Harry Potter, like Hunger Games, is about a horrific war being fought by teenagers, you still get the feeling that magical Britain would be a fun place to live. Hogwarts is awesome, when it's not being run by Death Eaters, and you can't tell me you never wanted to visit Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade! Plus, the food is worth the trip alone – Chocolate Frogs and Butterbeer, anyone?
Panem, on the other hand, is miserable by definition. It's a dystopia. There's a reason no one has ever suggested a theme park based on 1984 or Animal Farm. Even when Katniss isn't murdering her teenage peers on TV, it's not like she's having a grand old time on the Quidditch pitch. She's shooting squirrels for food and watching her best friend get beat down by Peacekeepers. THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING FUN ABOUT THESE BOOKS AT ALL. THEY ARE ENJOYABLE, BUT NOT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO LIVE INSIDE THEM.
I just… can't.
We are the Capitol, you guys.

Steven Weber is in Mark Malkoff's latest "Celebrity Sleepover" episode (yes, they're still happening), Mark takes a nap at the home of Steven Weber. Some thoughts I had while watching this video: 1. Is it just me or is Steven Weber kind of hot? 2. Was Steven Weber always this hot or is this a recent thing? 3. Remember when he made out with the old lady in that Wainy Days episode? 4. Was he hot in that Wainy Days episode or is he just hot in this Mark Malkoff episode? 5. This sleep syrum thing reminds me of The Hunger Games. So I'm nuts, right? WAIT. DON'T ANSWER THAT.
Wainy Days , Posted on 3/17/2012 by Maria
I'm trying. I really am. I'm trying to pretend that other things in the world are happening, like Grace and Dan and Phil are all going to be at Playlist Live in Orlando, March Madness is...um... a thing, and half of you are already on Spring Break and don't care about things that I care about anyway. BUT. THE HUNGER GAMES IS COMING OUT ON MARCH 23RD. And I'm pretending that it's relevant to My Damn Channel because Elizabeth Banks has been in a few episodes of Wainy Days so that counts. That TOTALLY COUNTS. So when I see The Hunger Games once, twice, fifty times next weekend I can totally write it off as a business expense. It can be, like, uh... research... for, um, THIS POST.

Just go. No need to further debate whether this tour is worth your time and money. Tamas, our guide, was absolutely incredible - from prompt hotel pickup, to knowledge shared, and affable personality. The Etyek region is breathtaking and the intimate experiences at the wineries were like no other. The savory, home-cooked meal at the end was perfect for a chilly Hungarian evening, especially after a day of wine tasting. Ideal for those interested in seeing the outskirts of Budapest.
Doing what: Etyek Wine Country Tour with Dinner from Budapest
Wine tour was very enjoyable. It was more of a wine drinking instead of a tasting. By the time we finished each of us had approximately 12 whole glasses of wine. Would highly recommend it if you enjoy drinking wine. The tour guide, Tomas, was wonderful!

Doing what: Small-Group Budapest Wine-Tasting Tour
Our guide was Barbara and she was full of information and very charming. She met us at the market and even though we had been there the day before, we saw and tasted many new things with Barbara's help.
All of the tasting stops we made had great local food. These were places we would never have found on our own. The last stop for wine tasting was fun and Barbara was full of information about Hungarian wines.
Our group of six was the perfect size for this adventure. One of the other ladies on our tour and I had taken a similar tour with Viator in San Juan, Puerto Rico in May. We chose this tour because that one was so well done. We will choose Viator again when booking tours!
Thanks for making this day in Budapest so special.

Our tour guide was fantastic. It was great to hear the history of the food in the Great Market Hall. Loved the walking tour and the history of each place before tasting wine. Great little spot. Lunch was very good and the service was fantastic.

Wonderful tour guide that has a passion for her job. Prior to our visit we had no understanding of Budapest or what to do, we were provided a wonderful overview of the great market, took a tram to our wine tasting and had a wonderful lunch. Good wines and great setting.

The tour was awesome! Our guide, Barbara was lovely and really knowledgeable - every step of the day was great, the Great Market Hall, wine tasting and lunch. I would highly recommend the tour for everyone!

We liked this tour. We did it early one and thought this was the best goulash (which seemed mandatory at all the other tours). The wine tasting was in the basement of a bicycle shop but it was fine. The guide did a good job of discussing the wines and the wine history of Hungary. Before the wine tasting, we walked to the central market and rode the train back to the starting point. The guide did a good job of discussing the items we saw on the way. This is a good "first day" tour.

This was a great way to learn about the eating culture in Budapest. We went to the market with our excellent tour guide Adina where we learned about the common food, spices, and delicacies. Then we did some wine tasting and ended the tour with goulash soup. Wonderful tour!

It was really nice tour. We enjoyed it very much. Our guide was really good. Thank you. But I suggest to change the name of the tour because my opinion wine tasting provide some wrong expectation. I suggest the name like Discovery food and wines of Hungary you have other tour wine tasting. Regards, Irina

Just as the World Bank has put out an entire research report about the economics of virtual gold farmers (they claim it's a $3 billion plus industry, and has substantial impact on developing economies), it appears that the FBI is taking an interest in the practice as well.

Australian Shark and Ray Centre - Dandenong South
The world's largest shark and sting ray feeding experience. The Australian Shark and Ray Centre sharks and rays feed all day, everyday. And feeding three metre sharks or 300 kilogram rays is exciting, educational and the memories will last a lifetime.
An essential and exciting experience awaits everybody! Children of any age can join in and feed, pat and play with some of the most awesome creatures in the world. Just standing in waist deep water or less, and hand feeding sharks and rays is something no-one ever forgets.
Shark and Ray Feeding is one of the truly great animal experiences. Walk in water only waist deep and be surrounded by hundreds of sharks and rays. An awesome spectacle whilst you feed an amazing array of sharks and stingrays in complete safety. Children of all ages absolutely love it, and adults become children with the gentle creatures. Be amazed as you walk through the water completely dry in waterproof pants or in a warm wetsuit, and be literally welcomed by animals that used to scare you.
Feeding from the outside is an awesome experience, the fish are conditioned to come right up to you so you can pat and feed them without getting wet. Though the real thrill is going in the water, this is still an amazing experience for anyone watching the kids or just wanting to experience it all themselves.
Visit the Australian Shark and Ray Centre for the experience of a life time! For more information on the Australian Shark and Ray Centre contact the helpful staff.

Squid Girl 2 #1 Review | 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful. |
I really enjoyed the first season of Squid Girl, while it wasn't something I desperately looked forward to each week, each episode had me smiling at Squiddie's antics and cute Squid-speak. It's a feel-good show with a variety of characters and it isn't plot-heavy. Anyone can get into it.
As you would expect, this season picks up right where season one left off and episodes are structured in the same three-part set up as before. While each part doesn't quite feel like a full episode on it's own, it does make it feel as though there's more content packed in each week, which is a nice. This episode definitely serves as something of a reintroduction to the major characters, but at the same time it doesn't feel like you're just watching an old episode from season one.
Even though this anime is set on a Beach, the series is almost completely void of sexy fan service. Whether you're a fan of that kind of thing or not, in this case it's a good thing as heavy fan service would probably ruin this show. If there were close-ups of bouncing breasts every 30 seconds Squid Girl would likely in my opinion lose the charm that draws so many people in to begin with. On a beach you'll find chicks in bikinis and dudes in shorts, and nobody makes a big deal out of it.
Little Squiddie is still convinced she will succeed in overthrowing mankind--bless her tentacles--and her mouth still waters whenever tasty shrimp is mentioned, which continues to be adorable.
The animation is crisp and consistent, though there isn't much intricate detail going on.
Squid Girl is quirky and fun, but not outright hilarious. You'll likely find yourself smiling and chuckling more often than full-on laughing.
Also I suppose the fact that this is more of the same could be seen as a bad thing. I'm personally hoping for a new major character soon, maybe another Squid-person. We've only ever seen Squid Girl so far... what if there was a Squid Boy?
If you loved the first season, then watch this one, just do it now. You'll love this just as much if not more so. Squid Girl is still totally adorable, funny, and a joy to watch. It's hard to not like it.

text: Montenegro's Eurovision representative Antonije Pusic a.k.a. Rambo Amadeus (World Kilo Tzar) is the only one worthy of your feature article or an interview. He embodies several important aspects of bringing quality and provoking thought in Europe. The less known and less obvious ones are his green, sustainability philosophy and actual ability to perform live anytime, especially when ALL the other contestants did playback performances at Euroclub party in Baku 2 days ago. Someone here mentioned the Balkans politicians in their comment, telling you off for reporting on Eurovision. As if it wasn't a political and social mirror of Europe. Not to mention that Rambo Amadeus analyzed and summarized all of the Balkans politics and social atmosphere in his deftly insightful lyrics (written over the last 24 years) some of which proved prophetic as time passed.

According to Google Broadband medic is associated with Virgin? Broadband Medic is a diagnostic program. You can remove it if you want. If you'are running Windows XP, simply go to Control Panel and remove the application using the Add/Remove tool.
AS for Belarc or SIW take your pick. Belarc has everything on one page but SIW is more detailed. Your choice which one to remove.
