- saw results Review by Cici
Quality Price Value
i got a sample of this eye cream and used it two weeks and started seeing results. my lines were softer and not as harsh. yes, it is alittle pricey but if it truely works (and have seen results) then it is worth it. i don't have the money for a face lift or botox or other professional treatments and even if i did, i don't want someone cutting on my face or putting foriegn substances in my face. this is the best alternative.

- Pricey but worth it Review by Kimberly
Price Value Quality
I bought a bunch of makeup and this eye cream was in the package as a free sample. It has lasted me several weeks as you only need a tiny bit. When I went online to buy it, I had sticker shock. I couldn't believe the price but went ahead and made the purchase. I love the product and figure it will last me several months. In the few weeks I have used the cream, I have noticed a difference in the fine lines around my eyes. The only complaint I have is that it does take a while to soak in. I apply my eyeliner several minutes after I've used the eye cream and it still ends up smearing the eyeliner within a few hours. I'm going to try to use at night instead and see if I have better results with my eyeliner.

- an updated Review Review by Sara
Price Value Quality
I had the full version as well as the sample pack, I switched over to using Glo's Eye Restore for awhile, and one thing that I noticed is that the Cyto-Luxe eye cream definitely keeps my eyes more moisturized! I'm happy for the Cyto-Luxe sample I was sent by Glo that helped me to re-confirm this. :)
I also had problems with the red dots around my eyes like the previous reviewer, right by the tear-duct. For me this is a nighttime occurrence only, it causes a slight tearing to my sensitive eyes when applied, and thus the area of tearing turned red.
I think this is because i sleep on my side and some of the product may get into the eye, as it is a thick rich cream it needs time to soak in.
So I have been using this during the day or a few hours before bed and have eliminated that problem.
I also solved the make-up issue I had before where it was flaking off by using a liquid versus a powder.
Overall very moisturizing and I am satisfied with this product :)

- Love this Eye Cream Review by Michelle
Price Value Quality
I bought this earlier this year and loved it for winter and summer. I ordered the Vital Eye Cream last month based on good reviews and have been so disappointed and wish I hadn't tried to save a few bucks. It's not that the Vital Eye is a bad product, but it has a thicker consistency and I think under eye concealers are more difficult to apply over it. The Cyto-luxe is wonderfully soft and probably the better choice for mature skin- which is what Glo recommends it for. I have no difficulty applying a concealer over it. This is not a negative review on the Vital, but a really really positive review for the Cyto incase you are thinking $95 is a little pricey. I miss it and will go back it as soon as I can!

- A decent eye cream Review by Sara
Value Quality Price
This is a decent eye cream, it works effectively and even after a short period of use I can see a difference. The only thing that I don't like is this product does not do well under makeup and almost appears to 'flake off' when concealer is applied on top.
This is best used at night before bed without makeup, Glo's vital eye cream is better for daytime use under makeup.

- Not satisfy Review by nd
Price Value Quality
I was given a sample to use. The sample lasted long enough for me to see some negative results. I've used it for 2 weeks and am not satisfy of the product. I've been using it everyday for the past 1 week and notice small red spot/dots around my eyes today. I have not seen anything positive. Yet, it's only been the sample so I guess I'll just have to use it every other day with the one I purchase last week which I do somewhat regret. I hope I'll see better results when using it every other day. ***A note from glo: Nhi, we'd love to hear how you liked the full-sized product. We've heard wonderful feedback for this product in general but are just as interested in the experience of those who didn't enjoy it. E-mail us with more details at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!

Democracy is a form of government in which the supreme power is held completely by the people under a free electoral system. It is derived from the Greek δημοκρατία "popular government which was coined from δήμος (dēmos), "people" and κράτος (kratos), "rule, strength" in the middle of the 5th-4th century BC to denote the political systems then existing in some Greek city-states, notably Athens following a popular uprising in 508 BC. In this form, there were no defined human rights or legal restraints upon the actions of assembly, making it the first instance of "illiberal democracy.
In political theory, democracy describes a small number of related forms of government and also a political philosophy. Even though there is no universally accepted definition of 'democracy', there are two principles that any definition of democracy includes. The first principle is that all members of the society have equal access to power and the second that all members enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties.
There are several varieties of democracy, some of which provide better representation and more freedoms for their citizens than others. However, if any democracy is not carefully legislated to avoid an uneven distribution of political power with balances such as the separation of powers, then a branch of the system of rule is able to accumulate power in a way that is harmful to democracy itself. The "majority rule" is often described as a characteristic feature of democracy, but without responsible government it is possible for the rights of a minority to be abused by the "tyranny of the majority". An essential process in representative democracies are competitive elections, that are fair both substantively and procedurally. Furthermore, freedom of political expression, freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential so that citizens are informed and able to vote in their personal interests.
Popular sovereignty is common but not a universal motivating philosophy for establishing a democracy. In some countries, democracy is based on the philosophical principle of equal rights. Many people use the term "democracy" as shorthand for liberal democracy, which may include additional elements such as political pluralism, equality before the law, the right to petition elected officials for redress of grievances, due process, civil liberties, human rights, and elements of civil society outside the government. In the United States, separation of powers is often cited as a supporting attribute, but in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the dominant philosophy is parliamentary sovereignty (though in practice judicial independence is generally maintained). In other cases, "democracy" is used to mean direct democracy. Though the term "democracy" is typically used in the context of a political state, the principles are also applicable to private organizations and other groups.
Democracy has its origins in ancient Greece. However other cultures have significantly contributed to the evolution of democracy such as Ancient Rome, Europe, and North and South America. Democracy has been called the "last form of government" and has spread considerably across the globe. Suffrage has been expanded in many jurisdictions over time from relatively narrow groups (such as wealthy men of a particular ethnic group), but still remains a controversial issue with regard to disputed territories, areas with significant immigration, and countries that exclude certain demographic groups.
Representatives may be elected or become diplomatic representatives by a particular district (or constituency), or represent the entire electorate proportionally proportional systems, with some using a combination of the two. Some representative democracies also incorporate elements of direct democracy, such as referendums. A characteristic of representative democracy is that while the representatives are elected by the people to act in their interest, they retain the freedom to exercise their own judgment as how best to do so.
Within Marxist orthodoxy there is a hostility to what is commonly called "liberal democracy", which they simply refer to as parliamentary democracy because of its often centralized nature. Because of their desire to eliminate the political elitism they see in capitalism, Marxists, Leninists and Trotskyists believe in direct democracy implemented though a system of communes (which are sometimes called soviets). This system ultimately manifests itself as council democracy and begins with workplace democracy. (See Democracy in Marxism)
The island of Arwad, settled in the early 2nd millennium BC by the Phoenicians, has been cited as one of the first known examples of a democracy in the world. In Arwad, the people, rather than a monarch, are described as sovereign. In Greek, Arwad was known as Arado or Arados. Another example of a primitive democracy were the early Sumerian city-states. Vaishali in what is now Bihar, India is also one of the first governments in the world to have elements of what we would today consider democracy, similar to those found in ancient Greece (although it was not a monarchy, ancient Vaishali is perhaps better described as an oligarchy).
Even though the Roman Republic contributed significantly into certain aspects of democracy, such as Laws, it never became a democracy. The Romans had elections for choosing representatives, but again women, slaves, and the large foreign population were excluded. Also the votes of the wealthy were given more weight and almost all high officials, such as being member of Senate, come from a few wealthy and noble families.
A serious claim for early democratic institutions comes from the independent "republics" of India, sanghas and ganas, which existed as early as the sixth century BCE and persisted in some areas until the fourth century CE. The evidence is scattered and no pure historical source exists for that period. In addition, Diodorus (a Greek historian at the time of Alexander the Great's excursion of India), without offering any detail, mentions that independent and democratic states existed in India. However, modern scholars note that the word democracy at the third century BC had been degraded and could mean any autonomous state no matter how oligarchic it was..
The Parliament of England had its roots in the restrictions on the power of kings written into Magna Carta. The first elected parliament was De Montfort's Parliament in England in 1265. However only a small minority actually had a voice; Parliament was elected by only a few percent of the population (less than 3% in 1780.), and the system had problematic features such as rotten boroughs. The power to call parliament was at the pleasure of the monarch (usually when he or she needed funds). After the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the English Bill of Rights was enacted in 1689, which codified certain rights and increased the influence of the Parliament. The franchise was slowly increased and the Parliament gradually gained more power until the monarch became largely a figurehead.
Democracy was also seen to a certain extent in bands and tribes such as the Iroquois Confederacy. However, in the Iroquois Confederacy only the males of certain clans could be leaders and some clans were excluded. Only the oldest females from the same clans could choose and remove the leaders. This excluded most of the population. An interesting detail is that there should be consensus among the leaders, not majority support decided by voting, when making decisions. Band societies, such as the Bushmen, which usually number 20-50 people in the band often do not have leaders and make decisions based on consensus among the majority. In Melanesia, farming village communities have traditionally been egalitarian and lacking in a rigid, authoritarian hierarchy. Although a "Big man" or "Big woman" could gain influence, that influence was conditional on a continued demonstration of leadership skills, and on the willingness of the community. Every person was expected to share in communal duties, and entitled to participate in communal decisions. However, strong social pressure encouraged conformity and discouraged individualism.
In 1789, Revolutionary France adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and, although short-lived, the National Convention was elected by all males.
Liberal democracies were few and often short-lived before the late nineteenth century. Various nations and territories have claimed to be the first with universal suffrage.
World War II brought a definitive reversal of this trend in western Europe. The successful democratization of the American, British, and French sectors of occupied Germany (disputed), Austria, Italy, and the occupied Japan served as a model for the later theory of regime change. However, most of Eastern Europe, including the Soviet sector of Germany was forced into the non-democratic Soviet bloc. The war was followed by decolonization, and again most of the new independent states had nominally democratic constitutions. India, however emerged as the world's largest democracy and continues to be so. In the decades following World War II, most western democratic nations had mixed economies and developed a welfare state, reflecting a general consensus among their electorates and political parties. In the 1950s and 1960s, economic growth was high in both the western and Communist countries; it later declined in the state-controlled economies. By 1960, the vast majority of nation-states were nominally democracies, although the majority of the world's populations lived in nations that experienced sham elections, and other forms of subterfuge (particularly in Communist nations and the former colonies.)
A subsequent wave of democratization brought substantial gains toward true liberal democracy for many nations. Spain, Portugal (1974), and several of the military dictatorships in South America returned to civilian rule in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Argentina in 1983, Bolivia, Uruguay in 1984, Brazil in 1985, and Chile in the early 1990s). This was followed by nations in East and South Asia by the mid- to late 1980s. Economic malaise in the 1980s, along with resentment of communist oppression, contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the associated end of the Cold War, and the democratization and liberalization of the former Eastern bloc countries. The most successful of the new democracies were those geographically and culturally closest to western Europe, and they are now members or candidate members of the European Union . The liberal trend spread to some nations in Africa in the 1990s, most prominently in South Africa. Some recent examples of attempts of liberalization include the Indonesian Revolution of 1998, the Bulldozer Revolution in Yugoslavia, the Rose Revolution in Georgia, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon, and the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan.
Currently, there are 123 countries that are democratic, and the trend is increasing (up from 40 in 1972). As such, it has been speculated that this trend may continue in the future to the point where liberal democratic nation-states become the universal standard form of human society. This prediction forms the core of Francis Fukayama's "End of History" controversial theory. These theories are criticized by those who fear an evolution of liberal democracies to Post-democracy, and other who points out the high number of illiberal democracies.
For Aristotle the underlying principle of democracy is freedom, since only in a democracy the citizens can have a share in freedom. In essence, he argues that this is what every democracy should make its aim. There are two main aspects of freedom: being ruled and ruling in turn, since everyone is equal according to number, not merit, and to be able to live as one pleases.
But one factor of liberty is to govern and be governed in turn; for the popular principle of justice is to have equality according to number, not worth, and if this is the principle of justice prevailing, the multitude must of necessity be sovereign and the decision of the majority must be final and must constitute justice, for they say that each of the citizens ought to have an equal share; so that it results that in democracies the poor are more powerful than the rich, because there are more of them and whatever is decided by the majority is sovereign. This then is one mark of liberty which all democrats set down as a principle of the constitution. And one is for a man to live as he likes; for they say that this is the function of liberty, inasmuch as to live not as one likes is the life of a man that is a slave. This is the second principle of democracy, and from it has come the claim not to be governed, preferably not by anybody, or failing that, to govern and be governed in turns; and this is the way in which the second principle contributes to equalitarian liberty.
The Founding Fathers of the United States rarely praised and often criticized democracy, which in their time tended to specifically mean direct democracy; James Madison argued, especially in The Federalist No. 10, that what distinguished a democracy from a republic was that the former became weaker as it got larger and suffered more violently from the effects of faction, whereas a republic could get stronger as it got larger and combats faction by its very structure. What was critical to American values, John Adams insisted, was that the government be "bound by fixed laws, which the people have a voice in making, and a right to defend." Also, as Benjamin Franklin was exiting after writing the U.S. constitution, a woman asked him Sir, what have you given us?. He replied A republic ma'am, if you can keep it
European Parliament members are democratically directly elected on the basis of universal suffrage, may be seen as an example of a supranational democratic institution.
The Founding Fathers of the United States intended to address this criticism by combining democracy with republicanism. A constitution would limit the powers of what a simple majority can accomplish. However, anarchists and other critics of large governments find this to be a poor solution, as there is nothing inherent in a constitution that will prevent democratic abuses.
Further, Islamists argue that only an Islamic republic is truly compatible with the will of God.
Conflicts between people with different opinions and interests can arise. Whenever this occurs, democracy tends to support a referendum or vote in which the majority's wish is carried out. Critics therefore, argue the accountability of making decision based on this.

Dutch oven is when you fart under the covers and the smell seeps out to your nose as soon as you lift the covers up. Because the smell is concentrated by the time it gets to you, it's ten times worse (or better, up to you) than it normally would be.
I farted under the covers. This is also known as the act of (or creating a) Dutch oven.

Programs for the not so young
OK so I am turning 34 in a couple of weeks, so I'm definitely not over the hill just yet, but I am finding that the body is not quite responding the way it used to 10 or so years ago. I'm actually in probably the best shape I have ever been in right now as I have been training pretty consistently for coming up 3 years, but I have been struggling with injuries on and off over that period.
I started off at about 154 pounds and got up to about 200 pounds in two years and have cut down since then to about 190 pounds. So I am actually pretty happy with where I am at, I wouldn't mind cutting down a bit more and putting on a bit more muscle mass but I mainly just want to be able to train consistently, maintaining, while avoiding injuries.
I guess I am what you call a "hard gainer" I find it easy to lose weight hard to put it on.
I've always trained to failure on every set so it seems that is the first thing I am going to need to change. I have pretty much always done a 5 day split, weight training 4 days a week, cardio 1 day a week, my workouts are usually around an hour and I have about 2 minutes rest between sets.
To try and prevent injuries I have upped my reps, my heavy week I usually do about 10 - 16 reps, my light week I'll do 12 - 20 reps. My third week I have now introduced a two day split just to mix things up where I do 10-16 reps as well. I mostly stick to 3 sets per exercise.
Regarding the injuries they are mostly shoulder and elbow/forearm pain. Nothing major but I'm sure if I just ignore them then they'll probably result in something more serious. I love bodybuilding and would be gutted if I had to give it up due to injury, but don't want to wreck my body at the same time.
I don't know if the cause is from not taking time off, I have taken a few days off here and there and only training 4 days a week on a 5 day split gives plenty of rest but I haven't taken a full week off in at least a year.
It may also be caused from RSI as I work in IT so spend a lot of time in front of a computer. I think that at least explains the forearm pain as it always seems to be my right arm.
Or maybe it is just due to training to failure every set and I'm just overdoing it.
I thought perhaps I should follow a proven program instead of continuing with my own. I notice a lot of people talking about HIT, 5x5 and FST-7. I actually have all three incorporated into my workouts but should probably pick one and follow it to the letter.
Anyway, any advice you guys can give me would be much appreciated, especially if you are in your 30's or 40's and managing to avoid injury.
I've been in the same boat mikey........I'm 37
And yes,I've just posted about training to failure and had some great advice from commander and greatkeen.....
The injuries seem to stem from training to failure on every set.....which is what I was doing aswell.
I've now changed it to obviously still having a challenging weight but now I'm sticking to hitting 12reps with good form on set 1 and 2 and then on my last set go to failure,rest pause for say 20-30 secs then carry on till I hit failure again,rest pause for another 20-30 secs then go again till I hit failure and stop.
The way I look at it now.....that's by far enough to stimulate growth while avoiding injury.
Cheers for the comment, I'm taking this week off the gym and reading up as much as I can. The general consensus seems to be to avoid training to failure, something that is probably going to be challenging at first. I'm going to avoid failure completely and start relatively low and just build up the weight each week keeping reps the same until I plateau and eventually hit failure, take a week off then drop weight back down and start again. See if I see any gains and see how the body holds up.
Many believer that less sets is better because you can recover better. But that is only if you are training to failure. And I'm not sure that is exactly the best way to train, unless you're strapped for time.
I like doing more sets better. That way you get more sets to warm up and get ready for the heavy weights. 5 x 5 is a good example. I like that one if you don't have as much time. But I also like the way some strength athletes train where they'll do even more sets of 1-3.
Also, plan to progress slower. You're not 18 anymore!
And lastly, just be creative when you have to, know what hurts, and avoid it. I noticed when I do pull ups it feels like the bones in my right arm are going to separate at the elbow joint when I get to the bottom of the movement. So now instead, I go lighter and I stop before I get to the bottom.
Going to failure set after set means progressively sloppier form which definitely will stress the joints/connective tissue more and leave you more prone to injury.
Regarding shoulder pain, many times this is due to poor benching technique. Check out the video in this article for proper bench form, that should help the shoulder:
To avoid elbow pain, don't go too heavy on arm work, stick with lighter pumping movements, unless you are very warmed up. But even then, I wouldn't go to heavy, if you are hitting the chest and back hard you are already getting some good stimulation for the triceps and biceps.
I'm with Charles, I prefer to do more sets. I'd rather steer clear of failure, execute each rep flawlessly and explosively and do many sets of low reps. It has worked great for me. I am currently 33.
Thanks guys, that all makes perfect sense. I definitely think bench could be the cause of shoulder pain. I usually alternate between DB and BB press (2 splits on one then 2 splits on the other). Chest has always been one of my weaker areas so probably where I lose form the most. I'd be happy just to stick to DB press if it meant less chance of injury, but I guess a lot of the same principles apply to both.
I usually do a lot of drop sets and super sets on arms, high reps with light weights, perhaps with the exception of BB curls and triceps push downs. I do hit arms pretty hard though.
I'm getting this 7 days off the gym and studying up as much as I can. The common agreement seems to be to prevent exercising to failing, something that is probably going to be complicated at first. I'm going to prevent failing absolutely and begin relatively low and just develop up the body weight weekly maintaining repetitions the same until I level and gradually hit failing, take per 7 days off then fall body weight returning down and begin again.
You are right it is a little challenging not going to failure every set if that is what you have always done but it's not as hard as you think. I'm just trying to focus on good form first and foremost rather than how much I am lifting and how many reps I am doing. As soon as I feel my form is starting to go I end the set. In the past I would have kept going and pushed out 2 or 3 more reps.
On my first set I am doing 20 reps, second 18, third 12-16, fourth 8-12 and fifth 8-12. Increasing the weight each set.
I'm only three weeks back into training since taking my break and only second week into the FST-7 programme so still early days. I also purchased some of those exercise bands to do some rotator cuff exercises at home and I've changed my technique on bench and incline press.
There is still a place for failure sets. i like to fail at 2 or 3 reps every now and then. I think my body takes longer to recover these days so I have days when I'll just do 30 minutes of rowing and that is my workout. Then there are days when I'll lift heavy. I like to train body parts but some days I feel a full body workout does me better. Protein shake after workout to start the recovery is essential. And I have to train around my injuries as they come and go. It has been over 4 years since my cancer treatment and I'm still getting over it. It still knocks me around but it doesn't stop me getting in a workout. I just have to work around it. And I am so much better off physically because I have been able to work out. Cheers. :)
One thing I'd like to add is that if you've mostly been doing the same workout for 3 years, you need to switch it up. Not just implementing different machines/motions, but changing your overall routine. If you've been doing a day split, try mixing that up for a month. If you've been working a certain rep range, try hitting your body with a lower or higher rep range for a brief while (2-4 or 12-15 instead of 6-10). If you've been doing 80% the same workout for 3 years, your body will take much more to progress at any speed.
Also most of us take a scheduled rest period every once in a while. Life usually plans these for me, but if you're very regular, then taking a week and just doing moderate cardio wouldn't be bad every 3 months or so.
Some specific 'proven' workouts around here might not be a bad idea to mess with to switch it up, just make sure to not think you've found 'the one' and never change from that either. To make your body adapt, you must adapt.

The film, which also starred cabaret singer Astrid Hadad and model/actress Claudia Ramírez — with whom Cuarón was linked between 1989 and 1993 — was a big hit in Mexico, and was enthusiastically received around the world. Director Sydney Pollack was so impressed with Sólo con tu pareja that he hired Cuarón to direct an episode of Fallen Angels, a series of neo-noir stories produced for the Showtime premium cable network in 1993; other directors who worked on the series included Steven Soderbergh, Jonathan Kaplan, Peter Bogdanovich, and Tom Hanks.
Cuarón's next project found him returning to Mexico with a Spanish-speaking cast to film Y tu mamá también, starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna. It was a provocative and controversial road comedy about two sexually obsessed teenagers who take an extended road trip with an attractive married woman in her late twenties. The film's open portrayal of sexuality and frequent rude humor, as well as the politically and socially relevant asides, made the film an international hit and a major success with critics. Cuarón shared an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay with co-writer and brother Carlos Cuarón.
In 2003, Cuarón directed the third film in the successful Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Cuarón faced criticism from some of the more purist Potter fans for his approach to the film. Cuarón's rather more aggressive adaptation (with a darker tone, costume changes, omitted subplots and other changes to the accepted continuity) came as something of a shock to many fans. At the time of the movie's release, however, author J.K. Rowling said that it was her personal favorite from the series so far. Critically, the film was also better received than the first two installments, with some critics remarking that it was the first Potter film to truly capture the essence of the novels.
Cuarón's feature, Children of Men, an adaptation of the P. D. James novel starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine, received wide critical acclaim, including three Academy Award nominations. Cuarón himself received two nominations for his work on the film in both Editing (with Alex Rodríguez) and Adapted Screenplay (with several collaborators).
He created the production and distribution company Esperanto Films, which has credits on the films Duck Season and Pan's Labyrinth.

Fasten your seatbelt, for it's a mid-life refresh for the VW Polo!
What is it?
Fasten your seatbelt, for it's a mid-life refresh for the VW Polo!
Refresh? It doesn't look any different...
True, it's hardly the most radical surgery. We're told there are new front and rear bumpers, as well as that now-obligatory facelift tweak - optional LED headlights. But you show us someone who can spot the difference and we'll show you someone with too much time on their hands.
Surely there are other changes?
The big news is that the Polo's 1.2-litre petrol, the previous best-seller, is replaced by the 1.0-litre 3-cylinder from the Up. There are two power outputs, either 59bhp or 74bhp, and both have 71lb ft of torque. Unsurprisingly, with those sorts of numbers pace isn't blistering, with 0-62mph taking 15.5 seconds or 14.3 seconds respectively.
Well, 0-62 times are definitely NOT what this car is about. Silky urban commuting, that's where the Polo excels, and the 1.0-litre is ideally suited to this. At least the 74bhp version is.
It's capable of sitting at motorway speeds (assuming you've got the patience to get to them), and it's deeply refined. Honestly, BMW 3-Series quiet. A long motorway journey would be slow, but not painful.
Around town, there's enough torque on tap, and it rides well. Plus, fuel economy and CO2 figures are much improved over the old 1.2: the Polo now officially returns 59.8mpg and 108g/km, or 60.1mpg and 106g/km in the less powerful one.
You sound impressed.
To a point. While the more powerful 1.0-litre is just about brawny enough, the lesser engine labours more. It's fine in the Up, but the Polo is 100kg heavier. Hills are a struggle, and you can forget about overtaking on back roads.
We'd get the 74bhp Polo, especially as it's only £525 more. It's still not exactly rapid, but it feels significantly faster than the basic one.
Have they altered anything else?
There's a new touchscreen available as standard on all bar the basic trim, which can now connect to all sorts of Android phones. Apple won't play ball with VW for the time being, so if you're an iPhone user, skip to the next question.
But for everyone else, for £150 you get something called MirrorLink. This allows you to connect your phone to the car via USB, with the dash display mimicking the phone's screen, allowing you to access all your apps.
The phone remains the brains of the operation, but the car knows when you're driving so you'll only be able to view approved apps while you're on the move. No watching YouTube clips of a leopard eating a crocodile while you're driving, we're afraid.
The system works reasonably well, but it wouldn't sway us towards a Polo all on its own. It feels like an early adopter set-up.
Anything else I should know?
We're guessing you're more interested in the Polo GTI, and the good news is it's also getting a facelift at the end of the year, which will include a proper manual gearbox. Hurrah! Power is also increased to 190bhp. Hurrah again! The bad news is that we haven't driven it yet.
In that case, I may wait...
Don't dismiss this new Polo. It's not the most pulse-quickening, but if build quality and refinement are your priorities, it's as good as any supermini out there.

PANAMA CITY — Every year during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the message about routine mammograms is told over and over again, itself becoming so routine that some people ignore the message.
Jean Fernandez didn't and is now a breast cancer survivor.
"I went in for a routine mammogram and they saw an area needed a biopsy," Fernandez said. "I was pretty shocked because it was a routine exam; there were no symptoms or lumps. The biopsy came back positive for breast cancer."
She said that's why she stresses the importance of mammograms; she had no lumps, no family members with cancer, no history of cancer.
"Now I'm six years post treatment; I had to take a drug for five years and now I'm perfectly fine and expect to live forever," Fernandez said. "It's important to understand if you catch it early, it's totally treatable and no need for anyone to die from it."
She is a radiologist and said after her experience, she has more empathy for the patients and sometimes shares her story with them. She said if it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone and she uses that experience to help them through biopsies and getting a cancer diagnosis.
Fernandez's cancer was fueled by estrogen and in addition to chemo and radiation, she took medication to stop her from producing estrogen.
Knowing a particular type of cancer can be fueled by estrogen is one of the many advances in breast cancer research. Dr. George Reiss, surgeon and chairman of the Gulf Coast Medical Center cancer committee, said survival rates are increasing for many reasons.
"In terms of diagnosis, we can diagnose breast cancers earlier; we have better techniques," Reiss said. "Now everything's digital and images are better. You can often recognize things earlier, which is the most important thing, catching the cancer early. We have limited things we can do to prevent it, but certainly if we catch it early, we can knock it out, take care of it and life goes on."
One of the advances Reiss appreciates is the higher quality imaging used today. He said MRIs are used now to help plan surgeries because it allows doctors and surgeons to see exactly where within the breast the lump is.
"All biopsies used to be excisional. … Now it's rare that we excise something from a breast," Reiss said. "Now, we generally biopsy with a needle … with a stereotactic machine or with ultrasound. I would say 95-plus percent of all cancers should be diagnosed with a needle."
Other areas of advancement are chemotherapy, which is more focused, and knowing the root cause of some cancers. Reiss said when tumors are examined, it's not just a matter of inspecting for removal. Doctors look at the characteristics and makeup of the tumor and evaluate for sources and a more individualized treatment plan.
One thing he said hasn't advanced as much is the idea that the entire breast must be removed; he said although lumpectomies have been possible for years now, most patients believe that if they have breast cancer, their entire breast needs removing. Dr. Hasan Murshed, of Panama City Oncology, said he runs into the same misconception.
Many patients "still believe removing the breast is the best way," Murshed said. "Data over the last 20 years says regardless of what removal option used, it gives same survival rate. We can remove only the tumor and follow with radiation and studies have shown it does not make patients live any less. It's human nature; have a cancer, cut it out. But that does not make you live any longer."
Reiss said he talks to his patients about lumpectomies, which is removing the affected area; and mastectomies, removing the breast, and gives them as much information as he can, but said the decision is ultimately the patient's. They have to decide what's best for them.
Murshed said only removing the affected area and not the entire breast makes it easier for a woman to maintain her dignity and not feel like she's lost an organ. He also said patients should seek out many medical opinions before they decide on a treatment plan.
"Once you have three physicians, only then should she proceed with the treatment," Murshed said.
The message of hope is part of what Dr. Adil Ceydeli does at the Plastic Surgery Institute and Spa. He said multiple options are a part of the process now.
"It's unfortunate they go through it, but there's hope; medicine is so advanced and has higher survival rates," Ceydeli said. "They don't have to live without a breast or with a prosthesis for the rest of their life. There are multiple options to choose from, not just one way, and it's tailored for each patient's needs."
He said it's important for women to feel comfortable with their body when they look at themselves, but for some, reconstructive surgery is expensive. That's why he said he's offering free reconstructive surgery to one patient through the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K this year. All nominated people will have to go through an exam to make sure they are a good candidate for the surgery and then a patient will be selected for surgery.

This piece will probably set off some of those shining beacons of intellectualism on the left.
The truth is Churchill was wrong, conservatives have both heart and brains. Liberals would disagree because they favor unfettered social welfare, but there's no real heart in a political philosophy where the individual prefers personally divorcing themselves from the act of charity by mandating a bigger government to take care of it for them.

Say hi: robb (at) robbtodd (dot) com.
My first book, Steal Me for Your Stories, is on sale — even at Amazon. This collection took me several years to write and holding it in my hands is pretty thrilling.
Also, I'm donating everything I make from this book to a trust for my late cousin's family, so even if you think the stories suck you can at least know it wasn't a total waste of money.
BOMB Magazine's Gregory Lawless: "Robb Todd's debut collection of short fiction, Steal Me for Your Stories (Tiny Hardcore Press, 2012) offers an alternately gritty and lyrical exploration of contemporary urban adventure and malaise. Each of the fine pieces in the book is driven by voice as much as event. Todd's narrators never give you the whole story; they don't tell you their names; and they don't smother you with exposition. Instead, they offer glimpses of larger traumas, erotic encounters, and romantic collapse. Their fragmentary narratives and crackling, minimalist disclosures might seem, at first, like down-and-out confessionals, but they're really records of spiritual growth and defeat, scouring for beauty in street litter, and the aftermath of love. Steal Me for Your Stories is a tremendous book."
Fwriction Editor Danny Goodman: "A kickass, brilliant new voice in fiction. This collection is a necessary read."
Poet C.O. Aptowicz: "'Steal Me For Your Stories' evoked from me something extremely rare: the beautiful madness of NYC."
Brian Warfield: "Robb Todd doesn't want you to love him unless it is with a fierceness so close to hatred as to be indistinguishable."
Vouched Books: "Robb Todd wants us to remember that we need to be comfortable in our loneliness, that we need to remember every day is made of 1,440 moments and we never know which ones will be the loveliest, yes, Robb Todd wants us to remember these things and while he may not stick with you immediately, you will find yourself wanting to keep returning to his pieces to remember to discover them again."
Used Furniture Review: "This collection is fantastic and dark and funny and, yes, gross. It's more than just reading about people doing every day things; it's reading about how we live within our own lives."
Sara Habein in Word Riot: "Steal Me For Your Stories is full of passion, loneliness, and intoxicated philosophy. It is a series of fucked up small moments that may or may not be true — despite the frequent 'Hand to God' insistence — but it doesn't really matter. They feel true, and that's good enough. ... It is 160 perfect little pages, and I'm so glad that the pages lived up to its excellent title."
Bong Is Bard: "steal me for your stories is robb's translation of the babble coming from the world surrounding him. and he is a master interpreter."
LitStack: "Sexy, cool, quick, brutal, hip, gut wrenching, toe curling stories. Buy the ticket, take the ride."
Reading Through College: "I expected parties, booze, drunkenness, cynical youth, objectifying and sexuality, and all the other sort of warm fuzzy things male 20-somethings do and think about, combined with some sort of glimpse into the main character's tormented childhood. Or something.
"What Robb Todd gives us instead—I mean, he does give us all of that, but in addition—is love. And he does it beautifully."

Frank Stella 1958
Frank Stella 1958
"A vivid back story for a Stella legend."--NEW YORK TIMES
Experience a turning point in modern painting and the early career of influential postwar artist Frank Stella. Focusing exclusively on a single year, 1958, this exhibition brings together almost 20 monumental canvases created during a seminal, experimental year for the young artist, then just out of college. With their surprisingly radiant, expressive fields of color and brushstroke stripes, the paintings of 1958 preceded the stark, more rigid black paintings that Stella produced the next year and that won him fame for their radical departure from abstract expressionism. This exhibition brings most of these surprising and historically neglected works together for the first time.
Organized by the Harvard University Art Museums and curated by Harry Cooper, Curator of Modern Art, Fogg Art Museum, and Megan R. Luke, Ph.D. candidate, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University.
The Wexner Center is the final venue for this show, which originated at Harvard's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and also traveled to The Menil Collection in Houston. A catalogue published by the Harvard University Art Museums and Yale University Press accompanies the show.

The 3/4" continuous air relief valve is installed with an irrigation system to allow continuous relief of pressure from air pockets during operation, preventing pipes and fittings from cracking or bursting. The air relief valves can reduce the chance of water hammer damage caused by a sudden reversal of water flow. The air valve float design ensures the valve closes as water fills the system and remains open when air pressure reaches 7 PSI.
In any irrigation system trapped air bubbles can damage pumps (via cavitations) and disrupt the flow and pressure in the system. Installing an air relief valve in an irrigation system allows the release of large volumes of air as water flows through the pump, pipes and filtration system, either along or at the ends of the main line. A continuous relief valve insures that pockets of air are continuously released during operation, reducing vacuum effect at shutdown.

Top Selling Mulching Kits
Purchase mulching kit mower blades to get more from your machine.
Mulching your lawn helps to provide insulation and fertilizer as it breaks down and adds nutrients to the soil. When you use mulching blades on your riding lawn mower, you are cutting your grass clippings into small pieces and spreading them as mulch throughout the lawn. The mulching mower blades work differently than normal blades as they spin faster and toss clippings up into the mowing deck to be cut multiple times before settling into the ground. This helps them break down more quickly to aid the soil. It's important to the mulching capability to maintain a sharp blade. If yours is dull or damaged, or you're thinking of buying a mulching kit for the first time, browse our selection of mulching lawn mower blades to find the right fit for your machine.

Creating a Hunter's Retreat
After a long day of hunting, nothing feels quite so good as entering your bedroom to find an extension of the woods. Here are some ideas from our fans about how they have decorated around our Mossy Oak Bed Set.
First, a bed to fit our camo bedding. Meghan Aanonsen suggested a log bed frame. We think this is the perfect bed to go with Mossy Oak New Break-Up, Mossy Oak Treestand and RealTree bed sets!
Next, we need bedside tables. Again, a fan had a great idea! Colt Kennedy suggested side tables made out of tree trunks. We looked and found so many great option, but for the bed above, we liked these the best from MyDesignSecrets.com.
Here is an idea from Amanda Fricano. Shot gun lamps! We found these at KevinsCatalog.com. We love the classic styling of these lamps and by changing the lampshade to blaze orange you can go from classic log cabin to hard-core hunter!
Shop TheCamoShop.com and show us your great hunter decor ideas!
For overhead lighting, Erin Lynn Richey would add a deer antler chandelier. We found this one from DesignToDo.com, but there are so many choices out there, so be creative!
Finally, Rayleen Johnson told us that pink camo throw pillows would make a great finishing touch. We think any of our accent and throw pillows would look great, so here are just a few examples of the choices on TheCamoShop.com!
1 Response to Camo Bedding: Home Decor for the Hunter
I want a log bed frame for a king size bed does anyone know we're to get one

Attention to detail.
It's what turned Corvette into the car to beat in road racing in the early '60s-and it helped this Vette become a top scorer at judging time. When the 1961 racing season began, Corvette had proven itself in races around the world, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring. That's because Zora Arkus-Duntov and the other Corvette engineers tasked to make America's Only True Sports Car a world-class racer put plenty of effort in at the GM Tech Center and Proving Grounds as well as trackside, where they could see what the Vette's strengths-and weaknesses-were.
That's how Chevrolet was able to offer a host of racing-related options on the car starting in 1956. By the time the '61 model run began, that list included not just a high-output 283ci V-8-with up to 315 hp in fuel-injected form-but also a heavy-duty brake and suspension package, RPO 687.
That was among the options on a '61 Corvette that now resides in Tom Longo's garage on Long Island.
This isn't Longo's first Corvette-that was a Z07-equipped '93 he bought new and still has. "When I bought that car, and realized what it was, after the first year I had it I stopped putting so many miles on it," he says. Eighteen years later, with his 12,000-original-mile C4 safe in his garage, Longo set his sights on a solid-axle Corvette like the ones his brothers had when he was growing up.
Eventually, he met up with Corvette restorer and collector Brian Cochrane, who owned one of the 233 big-brake '61s, a Roman Red one. "I wanted to buy his car, but he didn't want to sell it," Longo recalls. So he kept a lookout for another RPO 687 '61, which he found for sale in Maryland. This car-finished in Ermine White-had been sitting in dry storage for about 20 years, after its owner found out how rare it was.
Two decades of storage, on top of two decades of use (including drag racing by previous owners), meant that it was restoration time. But Longo didn't tear into it right away. "I didn't want to screw up the car," he says. "That was my biggest fear, that I would do something wrong with it. This wasn't a regular, base-model Corvette; it was a special car." His research gave him a stack of Corvette reference books that was about a foot high, plus loads of information specific to the '61 and its big-brake and fuelie options.
As a part of that research, he found his '61's VIN to be close to that of Brian Cochanne's red one-very close. "We couldn't believe it when the VINs on his car and mine were only 20 digits away," he says. "Both cars were on the line on the same day."
Longo accomplished the four-year resto project with plenty of assistance. "The biggest help came from Gail Parsons, who passed away last summer," he says. "He had quite a few Vettes over the years, and a number of big-brake cars." According to Longo, Parsons had amassed a treasure trove of original General Motors, Chevrolet, and Rochester engineering drawings and blueprints, especially ones covering the Rochester mechanical fuel-injection system found on the RPO 354 315hp 283.
While Longo's '61 was intact and complete when he got it, there was plenty that needed replacing-which he did, thanks to his friends. "Everything on that car is what it's supposed to be, and it's mostly original or N.O.S.," he says. "Any of the stuff that wasn't there, I was able to find N.O.S. parts to replace them with." That includes a set of correct RPO 687 sintered-metallic rear brake shoes that he got from Parsons' wife, Maxine.

If u were on death row..?
Hello!! I would love to get to know all you Korn fans better so I thought of something crazy/cool to ask you guys:
If you were on death row what would your last meal be and why. Also, what ONE Korn song would you like to be hearing as potassium and other chemicals are rapidly pushed into your veins, and why??
Can't wait to here from you all! I'll give my answer shortly i'm still contemplating...
Replies to This Posting
Re: If u were on death row..?
Last meal, a nice n fat, juicy, smoked/grilled surloin, with steamed veggies, fresh homemade bread, the kind with lots of holes inside and a thick crust outside and a hot fudge sundae w/chocolate icecream.
If I were to die, the last music I'd want to hear would be that of my fav band. Any song would do as long as it's korn...
Re: If u were on death row..?
Wasabi face!!! If your face doesn't turn inside out you're not using enough...
My last meal would be King Crab legs and a huge Maine Lobster with lots of melted butter..along with 2 dozen raw clams on the half shell..with lemon and horseradish cocktail sauce..two California rolls with lots of wasabi (yes i like to feel it comin out my nose! ahaha) a side of pasta and white clam sauce..a side of freshly steamed asparagus..a Cesar salad.. a Starbucks Mocha Frappacino with two extra shots of expresso..one last Throwback Dr Pepper..and for desert..a slice of marble cheesecake from The Cheesecake factory with a side of Chocolate Haagen Daz ice cream. He may as well not worry bout calories or fats!! lols
Korn song - for me..HAS TO BE FALLING AWAY FROM ME!
AND THEN...I'm gonna haunt everyone I can..cus I believe in spirits! =]
Always have been..Always will be jofish420 worldwide baby!
Re: If u were on death row..?
Homemade tacos or fajitas, cold glass of pepsi and spiced rum or jd (hehe) (make that a fifth) on the rocks to go with my meal and for dessert a banana split with the cherry on top. I'd listen to Trash and hopefully get nice and wasted before I go. don't forget the cheese sticks! ;)
"So now I find it hard, to live my own life, pleasing everyone, while I'm, just dead inside"
Re: If u were on death row..?
let the guilt go
Re: If u were on death row..?
My last meal would be my dad's mega-spagetti because it's been my favorite food since I was like five years old. If I had to choose a Korn song to be listening to, I think it would be Helmet in the Bush since I'd want my last Korn song I heard to be my favorite.
Re: If u were on death row..?
I would have some pizza while listening to Freak On A Leash. Simple as that.
Re: If u were on death row..?
1.Last meal: grilled chicken, uncooked broccoli, some carrots (the little ones), a baked potato, and strawberry cheesecake. (This will change soon, but that is what I would choose right now)
Last Korn song: like others, Helmet in the Bush.
Re: If u were on death row..?
Definitely wouldn't be a Korn song
Re: If u were on death row..?
WELL ur NO FUN!
Re: If u were on death row..?
I would have Black Pudding Salad for a starter, Lobster with Butternut Squash risotto for main and Fresh fruit pattiserie flan for desert.
I would be listening to Spirit in the Sky by Doc and The Medics.
Fairynuff's favourite saying is "She's Bang Tidy. I'm gonna smash her back doors in!!!!"
Re: If u were on death row..?
My last meal would be a big nice juicy steak made medium rare hot and fresh and I would be listening to Did My Time :D Then get pumped and die O.o
Re: If u were on death row..?
I'd go with a NY strip steak medium-well with a loaded baked potato and chocolate cake for dessert. And I'd go into my eternal rest jamming to Here to Stay.
"The creative person is both more primitive and more cultivated, more destructive, a lot madder and a lot saner, than the average person." - Frank Barron
Re: If u were on death row..?
My last meal... Hmm I would eat Domino's peperoni pizza with garlic bread and drink Dr Pepper. Then I would eat a piece of chocolate cake, drink Starbucks' Vanilla Latte and listen to My Gift To You :)
"Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything."
Re: If u were on death row..?
Samosas and Mac and cheese (the baked kind) and patron margarita. I would go out to 4u or dirty
Re: If u were on death row..?
Hah, I thought this thread was dead. It was a fun prompt.
Re: If u were on death row..?
I'll indulge in the necroposting.
Grilled chicken breast with fries and a tomato and cheese salad.
Song would be No One's There.
If I had a say in it I'd have my final breaths during the last chorus when the choir vocals kick in.
Stop reading my signature.
I mean it
RE: If u were on death row..?
I know it's no longer done, but I would want firing squad rather than lethal injection.
I wouldn't want a KoRn song. I'd probably listen to some classical music.
As for the meal...hmmm...a tuna salad would be good. But who can eat when they know that they're going to die very soon?
But judging by this DEADMAN EATING there are people who can eat a lot before dying. If the injection didn't kill them the calories would! Some of these guys eat a lot of friend food.
RE: If u were on death row..?
To hell with the last meal! Give me a blast from the past (meth), banging it right up my arm, and then.......................let me unleash all my wildness upon a gorgeous man who loves sex about much as I do (he will be my meal-Sweet Mountain Honey, the tasting of UMMMM) , playing out all my twisted fantasy's. Why? I like to die with a wide smile and spent out.
I really do not have any particular song I would choose of KoRn, I feel I would play as many as I could-expressing myself in all ways, as I take out my wildness out one last time, before I exit the world into hell. I am not going to heaven. I feel that is the cruelest place. Why? So you can look down on all your loved ones watch them suffer as they play the game of life. Wow what paradise! No thanks, I would rather go to hell, I think I can accomplish a lot more.
"Real women drive Hummers, and this owns her own." I love you Kashmir!
RE: If u were on death row..?
Last meal hmmm, you know I think I'd go for like a tradtional Sunday roast, its just comfy, home food.
Last song probably Dirty, its not my favourite song but its always stood out of me, it probably sounds weird but everytime I listen to it I feel a tiny bit emotional, kinda like empowered, I have no idea why.
Great thread btw (:
RE: If u were on death row..?
Thanks xMinna! LOL Felix, a firing squad! Hahahhaa...Hey but what if they shot u everywhere but the vital organs/arteries....couldn't u imagine the pain and agony! Well I'm sure its not much worse than feeling like your suffocating in paralyzed silence with lethal injection.
How many people out there like to FUCK!!!

Interpretive Handbook
80308 :
Apolipoprotein B, Plasma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is a major protein component of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) comprising >90% of the LDL proteins and constituting 20% to 25% of the total weight of LDL. Apo B exists in 2 forms. Apo B-100, the most abundant form of Apo B, is found in lipoproteins synthesized by the liver including LDL, very low-density lipoprotein, and IDL. Apo B-48 consists of the N-terminal 2152 amino acids (48%) of Apo B-100, is produced by the gut, and is found primarily in chylomicrons.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Definitive studies of cardiac risk factors in individuals with significant family histories of coronary artery disease or other increased risk factors
Follow-up studies in individuals with abnormal LDL cholesterol values
Confirmation of suspected abetalipoproteinemia or hypobetalipoproteinemia
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
It is well established that increased plasma concentration of Apo B-containing lipoproteins is associated with an increased risk of developing atherosclerotic disease. Case control studies have found plasma Apo B concentrations to be more discriminating than other plasma lipids and lipoproteins in identifying patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The utility of Apo B in determining CHD risk has been confirmed by prospective studies, although the extent to which Apo B concentrations were better than serum lipids in predicting risk was variable. Apo B measurement offers greater precision than low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol determination which is most often derived by calculation.
Abetalipoproteinemia and severe hypobetalipoproteinemia can cause malabsorption of food lipids and polyneuropathy. In patients with hyperapobetalipoproteinemia (HALB), a disorder associated with increased risk of developing CHD and with an estimated prevalence of 30% in patients with premature CHD, Apo B is increased disproportionately in relation to LDL cholesterol. Apo B quantitation is required to identify these patients and is necessary in distinguishing HALB from another common lipoprotein abnormality, familial combined hyperlipidemia.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Fasting for <12 hours or intake of alcohol during the 24 hours prior to specimen collection may invalidate test results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =18 years: 48-124 mg/dL
Reference values have not been established for patients that are less than 18 years of age.
