VIERA, Fla. — Ron Villone was among six pitchers cut for Nationals camp this afternoon.
Villone, 40, was given his outright release. Collin Balester and Atahualpa Severino were optioned to Class AAA Syracuse. Aaron Thompson and Ryan Mattheus were optioned to Class AA Harrisburg. Juan Jaime was optioned to Class A Potomac.
The moves leave 45 players in big-league camp.
Villone was hoping to earn a spot as a left-handed specialist, a role he held last season while posting a 4.25 ERA in 63 games. But the veteran struggled this spring (allowing three runs, seven hits and six walks in 1 2/3 innings) and like fellow non-roster invitee Eddie Guardado was given his release.
"He's such a class act and just a wonderful guy and was a very effective pitcher for us last year," manager Jim Riggleman said. "It's tough, but I feel and I know Ron feels that he's going to pitch in the big leagues this year. Somebody will need a left-hander, and he's got such a great reputation. Somebody will call him."
With Guardado, Villone and Thompson now gone, the Nationals are almost certain to open the season with only one left-handed reliever: Sean Burnett. Doug Slaten and Jesse English do remain in camp, but each still has options and could open the season in the minors.
"We have a number of other young left-handers we think have upside and have a chance to contribute on a major league level with Slaten and English," general manager Mike Rizzo said. "We think they've pitched very well out of the bullpen. Those guys have options andRead more »

Mark,NFA has Rafael Martin still in the Nats MLB Spring Training camp? Is he there?

With Guardado, Villone and Thompson now gone, the Nationals are almost certain to open the season with only one left-handed reliever: Sean Burnett.Joe Beimel is still available, isn't he? I imagine Rizzo has his phone number and the music guy at Nats Park still knows how to cue up his Johnny Cash intro music, wouldn't you think?

Mark, On a different note, is parking lot 5 still under water? Thanks.
- Steve M. - Mar 15, 2010 at 8:33 PM
Ok, so Maxwell in CF. It seems to me that Nyjer Morgan needs plenty of work to break out of his slump.Are we sure Nyjer is ok-ok? He just doesn't seem to being swinging comfortably when I saw him down there. Is he working with Eckstein?
- Steven Biel - Mar 15, 2010 at 8:37 PM
Doug Slaten is still in the house, no?
- peric - Mar 15, 2010 at 8:42 PM
No, Slaten should now either be in the Syracuse camp or the Accelerated minors camp … Chico and Olsen are their two last remaining left-handed starter/relievers.
- peric - Mar 15, 2010 at 8:45 PM
But Syracuse is potentially drowning in lefties … which may be why Guardado and Villone are gone and Beimel's phone number might not be dialed.They have Spradlin, Novoa, Severino, Slaten, Garate, Wodarczyk, and Ridgeway.

… I'm glad the pitching staff is shaping up, and better than previous years it looks like, but I gotta say my bleeding heart is firmly on my sleeve today. … I have always liked Collin Balester and am disappointed for him. As for Ron Villone, I find myself feeling some empathy when guys reach the end of their useful years. It's happening fast for me so I guess that's why I feel it in others…. all in all, Go Nats!!

Blessing in disguise for Villone. He has played on 12 different franchises in his career but this one is the worst one. Plus, if he plays for another franchise, he will break the MLB record for most franchises played on.
- peric - Mar 15, 2010 at 9:31 PM
Still Battista is older than Villone. By a lot. He is still there and having a horrendous spring. Just goes to prove that "set-up" men are not considered as valuable as starters. Storen as a "setup-man" for Capps the closer does not make sense in the real world.
- Mark Zuckerman - Mar 15, 2010 at 9:32 PM
Regarding other lefties still in camp: Doug Slaten and Jesse English do remain, and Mike Rizzo had good things to say about both (especially English). Not out of the question one of them could make the Opening Day roster, though both do still have options and seem more likely to open the season at Syracuse with a chance to be called up at some point.
- peric - Mar 15, 2010 at 9:33 PM
My mistake I guess Slaten, English (both lefties) and Rafael Martin the new right-handed reliever are all still in camp? Wondering about that?
- Mark Zuckerman - Mar 15, 2010 at 9:34 PM
Rafael Martin was never in big-league camp. He's been on the minor-league side since signing with the organization.
- HabsProf - Mar 15, 2010 at 9:45 PM
Mark: I'm not saying that I disagree with the move to release Villone, but I am somewhat puzzled. How do a couple of appearances during spring training (especially early in spring training) outweigh an entire season? Villone was effective last year. He wasn't an all-star, but a 4.25 ERA is not out of whack for this team. I know his spring ERA was high (stratospheric) but it is !SPRING! for goodness sake. Did the Nats see something beyond just the numbers? Did they get the sense that he would never round into form? Ballester has never proven himself at the major league level, so it makes sense to bump him down. But Villone has proven himself, so how do only 3 or 4 spring appearances outweigh all of that?Please explain.
- peric - Mar 15, 2010 at 10:06 PM
Thank you Mark. I will relay that info over to Brian on the NFA!
- PDowdy83 - Mar 15, 2010 at 10:35 PM
HabsProf, Villone was lights out for his first 17 or 18 innings and then absolutely TERRIBLE the second half of the season last year. So I would assume they saw that as a trend and that is why he was cut.
- The Dad Report - Mar 16, 2010 at 12:18 AM
Glad to hear it about Thompson, hope he makes it up soon. He was one of few bright spots not named Strasburg.
- Anonymous - Mar 16, 2010 at 2:59 AM
Calling Ron Villone successful is like calling Alex Cintron effective. From June 10 through the rest of the season, Villone had a 6.54 ERA, 2.12 WHIP, 1.027 OPS against. Basically the average hitter hit like Joe Mauer against Ron Villone.

Organisation information | |
Leader(s) |
Headquarters |
Level 2, Ministry of Magic, London |
Intentions |
To protect the wizarding world from the Dark Arts and those who practice them |
Affiliation | |
Enemies |
An Auror is a member of an elite unit of highly-trained, specialist officers within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic trained to investigate crimes related to the Dark Arts, and apprehend or detain Dark wizards and witches. Auror training is very difficult and intensive, so there are few qualified applicants. According to Minerva McGonagall, no Auror had been taken on for three years prior to 1995, though Nymphadora Tonks stated that she qualified the year before, meaning she was probably one of the last candidates taken on. The head of the Auror Office as of 2007 was Harry Potter.
Auror headquarters are located on Level Two of the Ministry of Magic. It consists of a series of open cubicles, each Auror being given a place to work. Pictures of known Dark wizards, maps, clippings from the Daily Prophet, and various other things line the cubicles.
It is incredibly difficult to fulfil the requirements of Auror training, let alone to pass the training with high marks. Applicants must first have excellent academic credentials before they are accepted into a rigorous training program. To be accepted, one has to have a minimum of five N.E.W.T.s in challenging subjects such as Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Herbology, and Charms and no grade lower than "Exceeds Expectations" in any of these subjects. Then, prospective Aurors are required to undergo a stringent series of character and aptitude tests to show they react well under pressure. These test range from physical appearance transformation to stealth tests. As mentioned by Tonks in the Order Of The Phoenix, she stated to Harry that she passed without any difficulties on the transformation test, but nearly failed the stealth tests. According to Dolores Umbridge, the Ministry also looks into the criminal records of the applicants, and those without a clean one will not make it through. It is not known if Herbology is required, though it is possible as Harry continued to take it to the N.E.W.T. level.
If accepted into Auror training, applicants are then required to train extensively in advanced magical combatand other elements of practical defence, as well as, presumably, methods of criminal investigation. Two of the disciplines included are "Concealment and Disguise" and "Stealth and Tracking". Training lasts for three years.
The job is seen as glamorous by some, as there is a great deal of danger involved and it is extremely difficult to join the ranks of the Aurors. Harry Potter became increasingly interested in becoming an Auror as his schooling came to an end, since he has had to fight against Dark Wizards his whole life.
Annoyed by Dolores Umbridge's insistence that Harry would never become an Auror during the 1995–1996 school year, Professor Minerva McGonagall declared that she will give him whatever assistance, coaching, and tutoring he required in order to become one. Luna Lovegood, however, told him she did not think he should be an Auror, as, according to her, the Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, working to bring down the Ministry from within using a combination of Dark magic and gum disease.
Though Auror training is very taxing, and means an additional three years of studying even after graduation from school, they seem to be very well respected in the wizarding community, and the higher members are potential candidates for Minister for Magic. For example, Rufis Scrimgeour was a leader for the auror office, but took replaced Fudge after the call of his resignition.
The requirements for applicants into becoming Aurors were extremely laxed following the end of the Second Wizarding War. With much of the Aurors destroyed by Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters, and the need to restrengthen the Auror Department to combat the remaining Death Eaters, the new Minister for Magic and former Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt permitted any participant in the Battle of Hogwarts to begin Auror training if they were interested. At least some of these recruits, including Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom and Ron Weasley, did not achieve any N.E.W.T.s (they had not attended their final year at Hogwarts). Aurors are also used to guard high profile targets such as Harry Potter, the Prime Minister of Muggles, the Minister for Magic, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The First and Second Wizarding Wars
In the war during Lord Voldemort's first rise to power, Aurors were authorised to use the Unforgivable Curses on suspected Death Eaters and criminals. This means that they were given the licence to kill, coerce, and torture. It is unknown if, following the return of Lord Voldemort, this power was re-issued in the second war.
Captured criminals are generally handed over to the authorities upon capture. It is not uncommon for criminals to resist arrest; some choose to fight to the death rather than let themselves be captured, such as Death Eater Evan Rosier. The Ministry had enlisted them to protect Harry Potter during the 1996-1997 school term. Prior to this, the Order of the Phoenix had Auror members who were part of the Advance Guard which protected Harry. Rufus Scrimgeour also arranged for the British Prime Minister to have an Auror bodyguard, posing as his secretary, to protect him against the possibility that Lord Voldemort might take control of him to gain access to various Muggle resources at the highest level.
After the return of Voldemort, Rufus Scrimgeour, hitherto the head of the Auror Office, became Minister for Magic, as the wizarding world placed more trust in him as a war leader than his heavily disgraced predecessor, Cornelius Fudge. However, the most famous Auror in recent times is Alastor Moody, who came out of his retirement to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, and was a long time member of the Order of the Phoenix, but ultimately died in battle. Most of the other Aurors have followed Voldemort's regime when he took over the Ministry, due to them being blindly loyal to the Ministry, and Voldemort acting discreetly to prevent potential mutiny. Other Aurors, such as Kingsley Shacklebolt and Nymphadora Tonks, continued to fight against the Death Eaters, which led to Tonks' death, but after the war ended, Shacklebolt became the new Minister for Magic.
Known Aurors
Heads of the Auror Office
- Harry Potter (Head of The Auror Office as of 2007)[1]
- Gawain Robards (formerly)[2]
- Rufus Scrimgeour (retired/deceased - became Minister for Magic in 1996, killed by Death Eaters in 1997)
- John Dawlish
- Alice Longbottom (mentally incapacitated by the Cruciatus Curse in 1981)
- Frank Longbottom (mentally incapacitated by the Cruciatus Curse in 1981)
- Ronald Weasley
- Neville Longbottom (resigned position to become professor of Herbology at Hogwarts)

"Auror" may be derived from "aurora", meaning "the dawn", from the Latin word "aurum", meaning "gold", or from the Hebrew word "Arur" (ארור), meaning someone who is cursed.
Behind the scenes
- Aurors can easily be comparable to elite Muggle national law enforcement officials, intelligence operatives, or military units such as the; MI5, MI6 etc. Some require excellent academic credentials (but not all), have an exhausting selection process to weed out the weak, undergo extensive advance training (sometimes up to a year or two to be operationally ready in the field), and are employed for the most dangerous missions/criminals.
- Harry Potter is the youngest Auror in history as being 17 when taking the job, and also the youngest Head Auror at 27. As he was a normal Auror for nine years and then Head Auror (2017) for ten years, but it is unknown when he will retire.
- Harry's goal to be an auror is not mentioned in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The Career Advice scene is omitted.

Great man. Lets make this as the official picture thread of the Philipines Armed Forces.
and maybe you can request the mod to merged some of these thread here.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines is one of the most experienced COIN forces in the world today. It is currently fighting communist insurgents New Peoples Army (NPA), Muslim secessionists Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), remnants of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), the Al-Qaeda linked Abu Sayaff and several bands of bandits, pirates, armed"businessmen/politicians", clansmen & cattle robbers in between.Though lacking in material modernity, it boasts some elite forces such as the Scout Rangers, the Army Special Forces, the Phil.Marine Corps Force Recon,Naval Special Warfare Group and the new U.S. trained Light Reaction Battalion, (formenly Light Reaction Company). The AFP since its inception has been constantly engaged against these irregular forces. It has also sent units abroad during the Korean & Vietnam Wars and also in Africa. It is an active participant in UN Peacekeeping Operations in countries like, Liberia,Timor Leste, Cambodia, etc.The AFP also have the prestigious Philippine Military Academy.
Please feel free to post pics and comments for the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Philippine is the only user of Simba Armor Carrier
the fact there was no existing dedicated philippines armed forces thread is beyond me
i think i got something about paf in my collection of local military magazines.i'll try to scan it later
Cool! About time...
Nice! Keep it up...
By the way...is there any joint exe between PAF and TNI before?...coz i'd never heard any of it...
Best regards from Indonesia.
I stopped posting photos of our soldiers because whenever I look at it. Some of them are probably dead by now. But what better way to honor them on the net. Besides - there's many photos of our armed forces scattered around this site.
We probably have the highest mortality rate for a "peace-time" armed forces.
They're bad-ass though.
Philippine Scout Rangers
Nobody ever graduates in this unit until their first combat encounter. When I was in grade school, they used to patrol near my school during those bad times of the commie-tard days. The one thing I admire the most is that they seem to go into the jungle without much kit except water, guns and ammo. Then come back carrying even less after a week. Makes you wonder what they eat.
Look at the size of the American below. Great big target.
I don't know which unit this is. Judging from the shot gun and MP5, it's police-paramilitary (SAF - Special Action Force) of the Philippine National Police. Both they and the Scout Rangers use a variety of weapons besides the ubiquitous M16A1/2 family.

Major Section: ARRAYS
Example Form: (aset1 'delta1 a (+ i k) 27)whereGeneral Form: (aset1 name alist index val)
is a symbol, alist
is a 1-dimensional array named name
is a legal index into alist
, and val
is an arbitrary object.
See arrays for details. Roughly speaking this function
``modifies'' alist
so that the value associated with index
is val
More precisely, it returns a new array, alist'
, of the same name and
dimension as alist
that, under aref1
, is everywhere equal to alist
except at index
where the result is val
. That is,
(aref1 name alist' i)
is (aref1 name alist i)
for all legal
indices i
except index
, where (aref1 name alist' i)
is val
In order to ``modify'' alist
, aset1
es a new pair onto the
front. If the length of the resulting alist exceeds the
entry in the array header, aset1
compresses the
array as with compress1
It is generally expected that the ``semantic value'' of name
will be
(see arrays). This function operates in virtually
constant time whether this condition is true or not (unless the
operation is required). But the value returned by this
function cannot be used efficiently by subsequent aset1
unless alist
is the semantic value of name
when aset1
is executed.
Thus, if the condition is not true, aset1
prints a slow array
warning to the comment window. See slow-array-warning.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Linagliptin is used together with proper diet and exercise to treat high blood sugar levels caused by type 2 diabetes. Normally, after you eat, your pancreas releases insulin to help your body store excess sugar for later use. This process occurs during normal digestion of food. In type 2 diabetes, your body does not work properly to store excess sugar and the sugar remains in your blood. Chronic high blood sugar can lead to serious health problems in the future.
Proper diet is the first step in managing type 2 diabetes, but often medicines are needed to help your body. Linagliptin helps to control blood sugar levels by increasing substances in the body that make the pancreas release more insulin. It also signals the liver to stop producing sugar (glucose) when there is too much sugar in the blood.
Linagliptin does not help patients who have insulin-dependent or type 1 diabetes, because they do not produce insulin from the pancreas. The high blood sugar is best controlled with insulin injections in these patients.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of linagliptin in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of linagliptin in the elderly.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.
This medicine usually comes with a Medication Guide. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
Carefully follow the special meal plan your doctor gave you. This is the most important part of controlling your diabetes, and is necessary if the medicine is to work properly. Exercise regularly and test for sugar in your blood or urine as directed.
Linagliptin may be taken with or without food.

Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Pancreatitis may occur while you are using this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have a sudden and severe stomach pain, chills, constipation, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, or lightheadedness.
This medicine may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Low blood sugar can also occur if you delay or miss a meal or snack, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting, take certain medicines, or take linagliptin with other diabetes medicine (eg, glimepiride, glipizide, glyburide). The symptoms of low blood sugar must be treated before they cause you to pass out (unconsciousness). People feel different symptoms with low blood sugar. It is important that you learn which symptoms you usually have so you can treat it quickly.
Symptoms of low blood sugar include: anxiety, behavior changes similar to being drunk, blurred vision, cold sweats, confusion, cool, pale skin, difficulty with thinking, drowsiness, excessive hunger, a fast heartbeat, headaches that continue, nausea, nervousness, nightmares, restless sleep, shakiness, slurred speech, or unusual tiredness or weakness.
If symptoms of low blood sugar occur, eat glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, or sugar cubes, or drink fruit juice, non-diet soft drinks, or sugar dissolved in water. Also, check your blood sugar. Glucagon is a medicine that is used in emergency situations when severe symptoms, such as seizures (convulsions) or unconsciousness occur. Have a glucagon kit available, along with a syringe and needle, and know how to use it. The members of your family should also know how to use glucagon.
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur if you do not take enough or skip a dose of your medicine, overeat or do not follow your diet plan, have a fever or infection, or do not exercise as much as usual.
Symptoms of high blood sugar include: blurred vision, drowsiness, dry mouth, flushed, dry skin, fruit-like breath odor, increased urination (frequency and amount), loss of appetite, sleepiness, stomachache, nausea, or vomiting, tiredness, troubled breathing (rapid and deep), unconsciousness (passed out), or unusual thirst.
If symptoms of high blood sugar occur, check your blood sugar level and then call your doctor for instructions.
There may be a time when you need emergency help for a problem caused by your diabetes. You need to be prepared for these emergencies. It is a good idea to wear a medical identification (ID) bracelet or neck chain at all times. Also, carry an ID card in your wallet or purse that says you have diabetes with a list of all your medicines.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.

If you think life is unfair, try walking the red carpet during awards season.
There is no less fair place on this planet than the red carpet, especially for women. And it gets more unfair with each passing year.
Men never worry about fairness on the red carpet. They put on a tux and walk the carpet with gleeful abandon. Nothing is expected of them. They will not be criticized, ridiculed or mocked. In most cases, they won't even be photographed. Nobody's interested in what (or who) they are wearing at awards shows.
Fashion "experts," hired for the night by TV networks and cable programs won't dissect their fashion choices. Entertainment and tabloid magazines will not give them a public dressing down for a fatal fashion flaw. Joan Rivers will not crucify them on her mean-spirited but funny TV show "Fashion Police."
Being a woman in Hollywood is not as much fun as it looks.
If they are lucky enough to be nominated for their work during the previous year, they will have little time to enjoy it. Instead, they will spend weeks agonizing over what to wear. Some men will scoff, saying that women worry too much about such things, but this is not a frivolous undertaking. For an actress, picking the right gown for the walk down the red carpet can be as important a career decision as which role to choose.
We are sympathetic to the plight of beautiful women in Hollywood, so we have compiled a list of tips to help these poor, gorgeous women get through the gauntlet. We are not claiming to be fashion mavens, like the so-called critics who judge women for national media outlets. But we have seen our fair share of red carpets and, as professional observers, we are prepared to offer our expertise.
If you happen to be nominated for an Oscar this year, feel free to peruse this list and use whatever you can to lessen the ordeal. We will not judge you.
1. Don't eat for 48 hours prior to the awards show. We're being generous. Most actresses don't eat for a week before walking the red carpet. You think a stomach virus is a great diet? Try being nominated for an Academy Award. Those gowns are unforgiving, and there is no room for a last-minute snack. It is astounding that no actress has fainted from hunger on the red carpet. But they're professional actors – they pretend that they just ate a meal.
2. Don't bother checking the weather report. It doesn't matter if it's 46 degrees or 146 degrees. Women still dress as if it's a balmy summer evening. While their dates walk the carpet in warm wool tuxedo jackets, women wear gowns with bare shoulders, low-slung backs and thigh-high slits. Shivering is not an option. Actresses are always in the "moment," and that moment is not freezing.
3. Always wear black. You can't go wrong with this classic.
4. Never wear black. How are you going to be noticed if you don't go bold?
5. Dress age-appropriate, particularly if you are 24. If you are older and dress too young, they will knock you. If you are young and dress too old, they will knock you.
6. Show a lot of cleavage. That will guarantee that your photo will appear in People, US, Entertainment Weekly and dozens of other magazines. It will put you at the head of the class the next day on those TV entertainment shows.
7. Don't show a lot of cleavage. If you show too much, you're inviting mockery from all the fashion facists. They will vilify you for trying too hard. They will insinuate that you are less than a lady. On the other hand, they will show your photo repeatedly while they rip you apart. If you believe the show business adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity, then ignore this tip and go for it.
8. Wear your hair up. Wear your hair down. Frankly, you can't win on this one. They will find fault if you wear it up ("She looks like she's going to the prom"), and they will fault you for wearing it down ("Why couldn't she go for a more classic look?").
9. When in doubt, go with Harry Winston. Even when you've picked a great gown, the fashion ghouls will get you on your accessories. In particular, they home in on the jewelry. Many clever actresses have allowed themselves to be walking advertisements for high-end jewelers like Winston. It keeps the wolves at bay to tell media types along the carpet that you are wearing $10 million worth of jewelry. Low-paid fashion reporters are blinded by expensive jewelry.
10. If you are still confused, always ask yourself this question: "What would Björk wear?" And then do the exact opposite.

A slice of apple pie, a tub of popcorn, a bag of cookies. Ever wonder what makes these tempting foods so bad for you? It may well be the trans fatty acids, or trans fats, hiding inside. These dietary fats can seriously harm your heart. The good news: Americans are eating less of them overall. But we're still eating too many, according to recent research.
Your heart is one of the hardest working muscles in your body. It's constantly pumping blood. Heart disease can make it tough for your heart to do this job. Fortunately, research shows making healthy lifestyle changes—even later in life—may stop and actually reverse heart damage.
Airplanes have transformed travel. You can now reach far-away destinations in the same day. For people living under flight paths, though, airplane noise may be harmful to the heart. Recent research suggests it may raise the risk for heart disease and stroke.
Despite its popularity, yoga is no exercise fad. The practice has been around for thousands of years. Poses like Downward-Facing Dog and Lotus speak to a balance between the body and mind. Many people who do yoga believe it promotes better health. This perk may even extend to the heart, suggests a recent review.
With every heartbeat, blood rushes through your body. It pushes against your artery walls. You can't feel this force, even if it's higher than it should be. That's why many people don't know they have hypertension, or high blood pressure.
You can't sugarcoat this fact: Americans are eating too much sugar. We eat about 18 teaspoons of the sweetener every day. Although it tastes good, sugar isn't very nutritious. What's more, your sweet tooth may be bad for your heart.
Statins are one of the most widely used drugs. They have helped many people lower their cholesterol. That, in turn, has lowered their risk for heart disease. Unfortunately, 2 recent studies found that some statin users may be ignoring other heart-healthy choices—namely, eating a low-fat diet and exercising regularly.
Smoking bans are lighting up across the U.S. Since 2000, more than half of all states and numerous municipalities have enacted laws that limit smoking in restaurants, bars, and public places. A recent study shows such changes may be a boon to heart health, particularly for nonsmokers.
Too little or too much sleep has been linked to a host of heart woes, according to a recent study. What's considered just right? Seven to 9 hours of shut-eye.
A juicy steak from the grill may seem like the perfect summer staple. But for your heart's sake, you may want to pass on that piece of protein. Red meat—like beef, pork, and lamb—can be high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Plus, it contains another substance that may be bad for your heart: heme iron.
Late last year, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology issued new guidelines for treating high cholesterol. Their goal: to reduce heart disease and stroke. Here are key points you should know.
A heart attack can change everything, even your sex life. You may wonder when you can have sex again or if it's OK to do so. Research reveals many heart attack survivors are unsure about sexual activity. Talking with your doctor can ease your worries.

Return to Quincy: Past, present residents connected by 'Red Thread'
It all started by accident.
Former Quincy resident and Quincy High alumna Deb Hopkins was trying to gather all her Quincy-related Facebook friends on one email list: Quincy Peeps. What she didn't know was that she'd created a Facebook group. Boy, did she!
As of this writing, there are 888 (now 1014) members, Tommy Hentschel being the newest addition. From time to time, I wondered whatever happened to …, as I do with other alums.
When I talked with Hopkins, she said it all generated from how much she loves Quincy. Hopkins, who currently lives in San Francisco, comes up throughout the year to stay at their cabin near Keddie.
The response from former, and current, Quincy residents has surprised Hopkins. On the Facebook page, the conversation is about memories of growing up in Quincy.
Hopkins said the universal themes on Facebook are the good times and supporting Quincy.
She is passionate about Quincy and what it meant to her to grow up here. "We grew up here and this place is in our blood. I am so astonished how many good people are from here. This place raised a lot of good children who love it. We love it and want to help."
Hopkins explained that she thought former residents could see Quincy as visitors might see it and offer suggestions and support.
Hopkins has coined a term for the idea: "peep-onomics." She suggests Quincy Peeps members buy something, anything from Quincy merchants; she hopes merchants will develop a Web presence to facilitate that effort.
Hopkins hopes that people will contribute to the effort according to their means: Buy something from Quincy; if you can't buy something, tell someone about Quincy and what a great place it is to visit; if you have an idea, act on it.
She's less about organizing a massive Peeps Project and more about action as individuals. If donating to repaint the Town Hall Theatre is your thing, go for it. Maybe you only want an official Quincy Peeps T-shirt, that's OK with her too.
A members-only page, Quincy Peeps is only accessible to current and former Quincy residents. After logging into Facebook, type Quincy Peeps in the search box.
People are trading stories there about growing up and plans for the Peeps' Return to Quincy, a list of Peeps' activities during the fair.
"Red Threads" will be the identifier for fair week in Quincy. Taken from QHS red and the tech term for online conversation, thread, Hopkins hopes current and former Quincy residents will visit participating stores and get their Red Thread wristband for the weekend. Red threads are available at: Carey Candy Co., Village Antiques, Emily's Garden, Cafe Le Coq, Plumas Arts Gallery, Courthouse Cafe, Quincy Hot Spot and Epilog Books.
Hopkins wants returning Peeps to an informal, grassroots reunion of old and new friends from Quincy. All activities are loosely organized and meant to engage as many people as possible in and around town and at the fair. (See below for a list of activities.)
Her biggest idea is for Return to Quincy is the fair parade. She hopes for an impromptu mob to fall in at the end of the parade to walk up Main Street, collecting people as they go.

4 p.m. Friday Night on Main Street
Meet at Pangaea, visit stores and restaurants on Main Street.

Gather at Gansner Park. Bring your own food, and any items needed for any activity you are interested in: acoustic jam, picnic, Frisbee … double Dutch jump rope, maybe?
8 p.m. Saturday night at the...

8 – 11 p.m. Meet at the Fair
Enjoy an event there or just for the rides (Zipper anyone?) and cotton candy.

Time may vary, no drinking and driving!
Sunday, Aug. 14
10:30 a.m. Walking Groups

For more information, contact Deb Hopkins or others via the Quincy Peeps Facebook page.

Despite what the word means in spanish or latin or whereever the fuck the word came from, in arabic it has its own meaning. It means a legend, derived from a man called Ibrahim. Legend has it that Svengali was a great poet in a form of a rapper who put down his mic because it got to hot. When he went to pick it up, he found that the mic turned to rock and was had become one with the ground. Svengali became angry and he still lives today holding the mic that had turned to stone, a part of him that never died just left...
Jesus is a Svengali, in the book of genesis.

What do you think of the
Louis Garneau Monte MTB Women's Shoes
? Share a...
comfortable shoe
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
These are my first pair of mountain biking shoes. I bought a pair of Bontrager Evoke shoes at a bike shop but they weren't really comfortable so I returned them, and they had a limited selection of styles and sizes for women(what's new?) so didn't have anything else that would work. I live in a rural area so don't have a large selection of stores to go to without traveling a fair distance. I hesitate to order shoes on-line because I have a hard time finding any shoes that are comfortable but I decided to take a chance on these.
I wear a size 8 in street shoes but sometimes have to go up 1/2 size in tennis shoes and hiking shoes. The Louis Garneau sizing chart (from the Louis Garneau website) showed that an 8 = 39.5 european sizing. Backcountry didn't have a 39.5 available so I decided to try the 40. It's a good fit. It has a rounded toe box, which is good for my somewhat wide feet. The heel slips a little but that's pretty typical for shoes on my feet and I can tighten the ratchet, which takes care of that problem.
I read comments about the ratchet being difficult to undo, and it took me about 1/2 hour to figure it out. Once I did, I discovered that it's very easy. It would have been nice if the shoes had come with instructions on that. It was a little different that other ratchets I've seen.
I've only used the shoes twice but so far they're comfortable and functional.
Alexa Shaw
Great overall shoe
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Contrary to the other reviews I have read, my wife really enjoys these shoes. They are great for beginners, are comfortable with ample amounts of padding. Not too narrow throughout the whole shoe, they are a great fit for her normal to wider feet. Only downfall is the release can be tricky, making it awkward to get out of your shoes after a ride.

OK shoe, but not very comfortable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought these shoes for my wife to start learning to ride clipless pedals. They seem well made, but she complains that they aren't comfortable and dig into her feet.
I do not like these shoes at all. They fell cheaply made. I had the Shimano SH-WM62 Women's Shoes and loved these. The Shimano is really easy to get in and out of unlike the Louis Garneau/Monte MTB. The micro-adjust buckle is always getting caught on something when I take it off and I have to fight with it for a bit. The Shimano is really fluid and easy to take off and comfortable. The Louis Garneau is not comfortable. If you want a good shoe go with a shimano.
