MacIntel and NXT-G: high gear?

I have also seen the Windows version on an intel box running parallels, and it runs very fast, it is native after all. I don't have such a machine at my disposal, but I would think that USB would work, but I think I hear that BT comm doesn't.

I have been running LabView under Parallels for weeks and can say it's much faster that LabView running under Rosetta. I STILL can't figure out how to run Bluetooth under EITHER environment.
I wish the UniBin version of LabView would ship soon. USB is SO 2005.

Well, this is interesting:
...while the Intel Mac version of LabVIEW is being released as a pioneer release so customers who are early adopters of Mac/Intel machines can try out their applications. National Instruments has not extensively tested the Intel version. However, it has passed most validation tests.
Not all *that* encouraging for a speedy UB NXT-G release, is it!

George Karl is available and so is Lionel Hollins, who just guided the Memphis Grizzlies to a 56-win season and that franchise's first trip to the Western Conference finals.
But the Detroit Pistons decided that Oklahoma City assistant Maurice Cheeks will be their next head coach. As a head coach of two previous teams, Cheeks has a sub- .500 career record and never led a team out of the first round of the playoffs. He is now expected to pick up Joe Dumar's pieces of a franchise falling apart.
By all accounts Cheeks appears to be a great guy. He's been described as a calming good leader. But on the surface, this hire looks like another pawn in the revolving door of Dumars' head coaching carousel.
It looks to me like Cheeks will be the sacrificial lamb when Dumars is let go if the Pistons have another miserable year. Once again the coaching search process looked suspicious. Teamer owner Tom Gores convinced his buddy Phil Jackson to act as a consultant, an apparent notice to Dumars that he needs help. After all, Cheeks is the sixth head coach since the Pistons won the championship in 2004.
Word is that Jackson favored Indiana Pacers assistant Brian Shaw, who many consider the brightest young coach not hired yet to run his own team. But Shaw never even interviewed for the Pistons position and you've got to wonder what was going on. Phil Jackson comes in as a consultant, offers his suggestion, and yet is ignored. If I were Gores, I'd be more than a little concerned about that.
Sports Illustrated recently ranked six of the NBA's coaching vacancies (not including Memphis) for desirability. The Pistons were fifth, just ahead of Charlotte, which is perhaps the only organization more woeful than Detroit. The author of the article cited Detroit's lack of talent, high coaching turnover rate, inability to win on the floor and direction. Fans are well aware of the shortcomings in those categories.
Detroit has made the playoffs in 12 of the last 18 seasons but the winning seems ancient history. The Pistons have been a lottery team the last four years and they've won between 25 and 30 games each campaign. While they have some talent, Detroit is far from being a contender.
Dumars' track record of luring free agents here has ranged from spotty to dreadful. Do you honestly believe that someone like Dwight Howard or Chris Paul or any superstar would ever consider coming to Detroit? Not a chance. And that's probably why coaches like Karl and Hollins weren't even pursued. Why would either of those coaches want to come to a rebuilding team that is lacking direction, talent and success and then be blamed for the entire mess? Maybe Shaw didn't interview for the position because he wasn't even interested.
Cheeks could very well turn out to be what the Pistons need. He may come here and help Brandon Knight become a solid point guard like he did with Russell Westbrook at Oklahoma City and develop a winning atmosphere. But if Dumars doesn't get it right this summer and fails to bring in solid free agents, then it would be difficult to imagine success accompanying Cheeks.
If next season mirrors the past four, then Gores just might finally pull the trigger and find a new general manager, who most likely will want his own coach. And it will be a lot easier for the new GM to fire Cheeks after one year than someone like George Karl.

2013 KTM Adventure 1190

My thoughts exactly. There is a DIN norm (don't know the number off hand, but trust me, there is a norm in Germany for EVERYTHING) regarding maufacturer claimed weights. It stipulates that all fluids must be on board which are required for operation (unlike the Japanese you used to like to weigh their bikes sans cooling water, brake fluid, or acid in the battery) plus 90% of the maximum fuel load. According to this, the ABS KTM Adventures came in at 231kg without crash bars or luggage racks which can easily add another 10 kg.
So to agree with Mousitsas, unless your KTM has undergone some serious dieting, your 200 kg estimate is a little conservative. The 950 SE weighed in at right around 200 kg, (wet, of course) if I recall correctly.
On another note, not mentioned so far is a final quote from the Motorrad article (I have to paraphrase since I don't have it with me here):
KTM: Our goal was to be number one off-road among the enduros (euro speak for adventure bike).
Tester: In my opinion, you have just built the best two cylinder enduro period.
The tester raved earlier how the dual spark heads, additional rotating weight, new mapping plus whatever other mods KTM has undertaken have completely transformed the engine. Lots of low end grunt, great mid-range and a top end rush that only the Multistrada can complete with were the raves. The added weight seemed to add a great deal of smoothness at low rpm without detracting from the quick revving character the KTMs are known for. Only complaint was a bit of roughness about 7000 rpm but that equates to 180km/h so not an issue in the real (non-Autobahn) world.
Also praised were the new off-road ABS (insert flame here). The system from Bosch allows for a high rate of slippage on the front before it kicks in, and the rear is completely free to be locked up. From the brief article, it really sounds like KTM made a lot of very intelligent design choices and/or compromises.

The Car Boot Sale is held at the Blochairn Wholesale Market complex:
130 Blochairn Road every Sunday throughout the year.
To sell at the Car Boot Sale you just turn up on the day. Pitches are allocated on a first come first served basis. Normally if you turn up at around 7.00 a.m. you should be able to get a space - but the earlier you arrive the better - it is very popular and we cannot offer any guarantees !
On arrival, provided there are spaces available, you will be allocated a pitch and the charge will be collected thereafter. The charges currently range from £8 for a single car space outside.
Most people sell from paste tables or similar and it is worth bringing a plastic sheet to cover the stall in case it rains. It is also worth having worked out a price for each item before you arrive.
Pre-booking of pitches for four week periods may be available.

... how's that diet/exercise program going NOW????
Ten years ago my New Year's Resolution happened in February... I gave myself a Valentine's gift - my very own treadmill. I know, I know... most people treat at home exercise equipment like they do a gym membership. They actually exercise for a couple weeks and then use it as a 'clothes hanger' after that. Well, not me! My poor treadmill has been used faithfully, in fact, I have had five new motors put in over the past ten years!
So, what's my motivation? Originally it was the fact that my 'fat' jeans wouldn't zip up. Then, it was the fact that my children were young and required many more years of care... how was I gonna hold up if I was unhealthy and overweight? Then it was the fact that whenever I had a crisis in my life, that treadmill kept me from having an emotional/mental breakdown! Just getting on and moving has seen me through the illnesses and deaths of my mom and one of my sisters, through a couple of bad relationships and their eventual break ups, and now, it is getting me through the empty nest/letting go phase of parenting. Quite frankly, it's saved my life!
So forget making those resolutions on January 1. Forget the desire to be a size 2. Forget having a gym membership or even a treadmill. Just find a way to start exercising because it's gonna change your life... FOR THE BETTER! When you're motivation is health... physical and mental... the weight loss just naturally follows.

The 42-year-old wrestler was backstage at Saturday's RAW live event in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he tweeted a photo of himself with Tensai and stated, "Possible new tag team in #wwe? What ya think?" He added to a fan who wants to see the behemoths team up, "Would love to make it happen!!!! Let #wwe know how u feel."
Unlike Tensai, Snitsky is not fond of two of his WWE colleagues. He pondered Friday to his Twitter followers, "How does drew McIntyre still have a job? Just wondering...."
A fan then wrote to Snitsky wondering why McIntyre's 3MB partner, Heath Slater, is also employed by WWE, and the former Superstar responded, "ya him too.... Fukn horrible."
Snitsky continued railing the Scottish grappler by ridiculing for him for his various persona changes over the years: "heez been repackaged so many times I lost count! Ask @CharlieHaas about him!!!" He added that Haas' view on McIntyre rhymes with "bits."
Snitsky then reminisced about the fellow former WWE Superstar purposely clocking McIntyre during a match. He wrote to a follower, "You should hear @CharlieHaas story about the time he punched him in the face during their match! Lmfao."
Snitsky did not see McIntyre at the show to ask himself why he still has a job, but noted that the WWE Superstar already knows how he feels about him.

Alona Tal on her US acting career
Posted By ISRAEL21c Staff On July 18, 2010 @ 11:27 am In | No Comments
Israeli actress Alona Tal, best-known for her role in the American TV series Supernatural, was interviewed recently by iF Magazine.
Tal, whose character was recently killed off on the show, says "… I'm grateful and I'm hoping soon I'll have more than these teasing guest spots… and I can actually talk to you about my own show."
She's guest-starring in an episode of Leverage tonight on TNT, where she plays aspiring country singer/songwriter Kaye Lynn, who is aided by the gang, when she tangles with an unscrupulous music producer.
In the interview Tal, who is described as looking and sounding like the all-American girl despite being born and raised in Herzliya, Israel, says that she's hoping for more appearances on Supernatural, because "… nobody truly dies" on the show.
She also told the magazine that she's voicing a character in a CG production of Night of the Living Dead; that she recently did the voice of Israeli pre-state hero and poet Hannah Senesh for an episode of PBS' Independent Lens; and that she appears in two upcoming films.
She describes Undocumented as "… an independent film that's categorized as horror, but it's… much smarter, much more socially connected" and Kalamity, which "… should premiere any moment," as "… a nice suspense thriller."
About her singing/songwriting career, she says, "It's going to be private [in terms of not doing concerts] for now until I get the stage to do it. And then when the stage comes, and when it'll be the right time, then it will."

BASF to Acquire Global Styrene Catalysts Business
March 7, 2011
BASF announced that it has signed a purchase agreement to acquire the styrene catalysts business of CRI/Criterion, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell based in Houston, Tex., reports IEWY News. Financial details of the transaction are not being disclosed. CRI/Criterion is a leading global manufacturer of chemical catalysts used in the dehydrogenation of ethyl benzene to styrene, which is a vital ingredient in the manufacture of plastics, rubber and resins. The acquisition provides a strong complement to BASF's existing styrene catalysts business. Upon deal closing, BASF will work closely with CRI/Criterion's business, manufacturing and R&D teams to ensure a seamless customer and technology transition. BASF's updated styrene catalyst portfolio will then be established over time based on an evaluation and comparative benchmarking of the performance characteristics of both BASF and CRI/Criterion solutions. Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur by year-end 2010, subject to the satisfaction of all requisite regulatory approvals.

Sheree Domagall of Lakewood Township has been watching this squirrel near her home for a few weeks. "It looks to me it looks like a raccoon got a little friendly with one of our squirrels. What do you think?" she asks.
Martha Minchak, assistant area wildlife manager for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in Duluth, doubts the racoon connection.
"I've never seen one with just the tail like that, though we have some pretty weird looking ones around our place (mostly black-gray mixes). I suspect it's just a strange color variation and not some cross-breeding situation," Minchak said.

35 year old man | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking women 18-40 within 50 miles
I'm wearing scrubs right now...I get to go to work in what I think look like pajamas. Life is good!
Let's see...I'm single, live in San Diego and have a great job. That's pretty much my current story! I'm really simple and proud of it. I enjoy simple things in life, like a great cup of coffee, a relaxing drive around the city, or a good laugh. I'm not hard to please at all! Life is not that hard, just find the things that bring you joy and peace, and get rid of the clutter. I'm always looking to improve my situation but am damn proud of where I am right now and what it took to get here. To me life is about constant growth and evolution, professionally and spiritually. The minute you stop growing you get old. To paint a picture of the type of guy I am, in short I'm passionate. Whenever I have new interests, I dive into them 100%, without holding back. It's just the way I am! Sports are my #1 love, mainly college football. I play basketball and flag football, and try not to be "that guy." I love going out with friends, dancing, dining, although I'm very comfortable hanging out at home either studying for work or going on a Netflix marathon. What am I looking for with online dating sites? The answer is really simple, someone who knows how to give. The foundation of any great relationship, be it a professional partnership, friendship or intimate relationship, is giving. We live in a society that's driven by taking and greed. People are often too obsessed with how much they can take, be it in business or in their personal lives, the "what's in it for me" attitude. No matter how much they take, it's never enough. I have a great core of friends and colleagues. They give me strength, companionship, advice, knowledge, and much more. I do the same for them, and these great friendships are only sustainable if I continue to reciprocate the great things that are given to me. To me there's nothing more gratifying than giving and I only want those around me who love to support the success and continued growth of others. That has to be the core of any healthy relationship.

In Brief
- Even very young children understand that adults don't always know best, suggests Yale University research. In one of three experiments with 58 children, an adult asked 3-year-olds to help with simple tasks, such as making a phone call, but "mistakenly" asked for a toy phone. Most of the children ignored the request and instead brought the adult something functional, such as a real phone. The researchers also found that most youngsters also attempted to warn adults who were doing something counterproductive, such as reaching for an empty box of crayons to draw a picture or putting on a wet sweatshirt when they said they were cold (Developmental Psychology, online Feb. 4).
- Happiness increases with age, but a person's overall level of well-being may depend on when he or she was born, finds a study by Florida State University psychologists. The researchers examined two large-scale longitudinal studies that analyzed data from thousands of people over age 30, including more than 10,000 reports on well-being, health and other factors. They found that, although life satisfaction increased with age for each birth cohort, older generations — particularly those who lived through the Great Depression — started off with lower levels of well-being in comparison to people born more recently. The researchers speculate that these findings may have important implications for today's younger generations who are dealing with unemployment, even after the economy improves (Psychological Science, online Jan. 24).
- Nearly three-quarters of polled psychotherapists reported they cried during a session with a client, according to research conducted by Alliant International University psychologists. In the survey of 684 U.S. psychologists and trainees, the researchers also found that men cried just as often as women, even though men reported crying less often in daily life. Clinicians with more experience and who were older cried more in therapy than novice clinicians, even though the older therapists said they cried less in daily life. The authors speculate that more experienced therapists may feel more comfortable allowing themselves to express emotions in sessions (Psychotherapy, online Feb. 11).
- It may be better — and healthier — to give than to receive, according to a study led by a University of Buffalo psychologist. The study's 846 participants completed baseline interviews assessing stressful events they had experienced in the previous year, such as serious illness, burglary, job loss or the death of a family member. They also reported the total amount of time they had spent helping friends, neighbors and relatives with running errands, performing housework, providing child care and other tasks in the past 12 months. After adjusting for age, baseline health and psychosocial variables, the researchers found that when it comes to dealing with stressful situations, the people who had helped others during the previous year were less likely to die within five years than those who had not helped others (American Journal of Public Health, online Jan. 17).
- Substance abuse rates appear to be higher in teens with a history of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder than in those without ADHD, finds a study that followed nearly 600 children into adolescence. University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists found that 10 percent of the ADHD group met criteria for a substance abuse or dependence disorder, compared with only 3 percent of those without ADHD histories. They also found that, contrary to previous findings, substance abuse rates were the same in teenagers still taking ADHD medication and in those who no longer took the medication (Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, online Dec. 28).
- College students with "helicopter parents" may be more depressed than those whose parents are less controlling, finds research conducted at the University of Mary Washington. Nearly 300 American undergraduates completed an online survey in which they described their mothers' parenting behaviors and rated their own perceptions of their autonomy, their competence and their ability to get along with others. The participants also answered questions about their overall satisfaction with their lives and their levels of anxiety and depression. Very high levels of perceived parental control were related to higher levels of depression, decreased life satisfaction and lower levels of perceived autonomy, competence and relatedness (Journal of Child and Family Studies, February).
- Teens with more positive and supportive families may have better marriages later in life, finds a study led by a University of Texas at Dallas psychologist. The researchers examined longitudinal data from 288 individuals in seventh grade, and then again with their spouses nearly 20 years later. Participants who were more positively engaged with their families as adolescents — characterized by having more effective communication, warmth and support from their parents or guardians — expressed less hostility toward their spouses and were more satisfied with their relationships (Psychological Science, online Jan. 10).
- The number of people in the United States with Alzheimer's disease will nearly triple by 2050, predict researchers at the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging in Chicago. They analyzed information from 10,802 Chicago residents ages 65 and older who were interviewed and assessed for dementia every three years from 1993 to 2011. The researchers used the results to project that 13.8 million people will have the disease by 2050 — up from about 5 million today (Neurology, online Feb. 6).
- Poor sleep in old age may prevent the brain from storing memories, according to a study by neuroscientists at the University of California, Berkeley. Researchers taught and tested the study's 18 healthy young adults (mostly in their 20s) and 15 healthy older adults (mostly in their 70s) on 120 word sets that taxed their memories just before going to bed. An EEG device measured their brain activity as they slept. Then they were tested again on the word pairs while undergoing fMRI scans. In older adults, the results showed a clear link between the degree of brain deterioration in the middle frontal lobe and the severity of impaired "slow wave activity" during sleep. On average, the quality of the older adults' deep sleep was 75 percent lower than that of the younger participants, and their ability to remember the word pairs the next day was 55 percent worse (Nature Neuroscience, online Jan. 27).
- Black and Hispanic high school students who work part time are less likely to see their grades suffer than white non-Hispanic students who work part time, finds research out of the University of Michigan. In the study of nearly 600,000 students from around the country, researchers found that grade-point averages among white and Asian-American students dropped dramatically the more hours they worked, while the GPAs of Hispanic and black students showed less connection with hours worked. In addition, among high school students who worked long hours at a part-time job, black and Hispanic students from lower income households were less likely to smoke and drink than affluent white or Asian-American students who worked long hours (Developmental Psychology, online Jan. 14).
- Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) appear to have measurable brain abnormalities, finds a study led by psychiatrists from the Iowa City VA Medical Center and the University of Iowa. Researchers used an MRI-based brain-scanning technique called diffusion tensor imaging to study the brains of 72 veterans with mild TBI and 21 veterans without TBI. They found significant abnormalities in the white matter of the brains of those with mild TBI compared with those without TBI, even after controlling for age, time since trauma and co-existing psychological problems such as depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder. The researchers also found that veterans with more significant abnormalities performed more poorly on cognitive tests that measured their decision-making and planning skills (American Journal of Psychiatry, December).
- Children may start lying as early as age 2, finds a University of Toronto study of 41 2-year-olds and 24 3-year-olds. Researchers placed two toys — a car that made engine noises and a barking toy dog — behind the children's backs and asked them to guess what they were based on the sounds each toy made. They then placed a Barney doll behind their backs that made music that had nothing to do with Barney, so there was no way the children could guess correctly what it was. The researchers then left the room, telling the children not to peek, and a hidden camera caught most of them peeking within seconds. Upon their return, the researchers asked the children if they had peeked, and found that about 25 percent of the 2-year-olds and more than 60 percent of the 3-year-olds lied (Developmental Psychology, online Jan. 7).
- Some children diagnosed with autism may recover completely from the disorder, finds research at the University of Connecticut at Storrs. Scientists recruited 34 people ranging in age from 8 to 21 who had been diagnosed in the higher-functioning-than-average range of the autism spectrum before age 5 and no longer had any symptoms. The team conducted extensive testing of its own, including interviews with parents to gauge the children's current social and communication skills. They found no differences between those who had been diagnosed and a group of 34 matched control subjects who had never had a diagnosis (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, February).
- Mindfulness meditation may relieve chronic inflammation, according to a study led by University of Wisconsin-Madison neuroscientists. Forty-nine study participants, including people with such chronic inflammatory conditions as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and asthma, were randomly assigned to either an eight-week mindfulness-based, stress-reduction intervention or an eight-week health enhancement program focused on nutrition education, physical activity and music therapy. Based on immune and endocrine measures collected before and after the trainings, the scientists found that the mindfulness-based stress reduction approach was more effective at reducing stress-induced inflammation (Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, January).
- Excessive television-watching in childhood may be linked to long-term antisocial behaviors, suggests research from the University of Otago in New Zealand. Researchers followed a group of about 1,000 children born in 1972 and 1973, asking them every two years how much TV they watched from ages 5 to 15. Children who watched more TV were more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood. The study also showed that the risk of having a criminal conviction by early adulthood increased by about 30 percent with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight (Pediatrics, online Feb. 18).

Dear Doctor,
Can I conceive with fibroids?
Dear Julia,
Fibroids, also known as uterine myomas, are swellings in the uterus originating from the smooth muscle of uterus. Fibroids develop during the reproductive years and shrink after menopause; therefore they are believed to be associated with female hormones.
Fibroids may be single (one) or multiple (many) and can be located anywhere in the uterus. Depending on the number, size and location of the fibroids, different complications can be expected. Infertility may be a complication of fibroids in the following circumstances;
Large fibroids located in the lumen or the wall of the uterus can distort the shape of the uterus or fill the lumen thus interfering with implantation. Multiple small fibroids especially those in the wall of the uterus can also distort the uterus leading to infertility.
Although rare, fibroids can exert pressure on the fallopian tubes blocking them. Even after conception, fibroids can compete with a foetus for space leading to small for age babies or even abortions.
Fibroids can be managed. Drugs to shrink them are available. Surgery to remove them (myomectomy) can also be done with good results. Please see your gynaecologist for detailed assessment and management of your fibroids as well as fertility.
For all your reproductive health queries, write to: 0788026929 or write doctor and SMS it to 8777

Local Tampa XNA and Silverlight rockstar Bill Reiss (the dr popper guy) ported the Farseer 2D physics engine
from XNA to Silverlight (
http://silverlightrocks.com/community/blogs/silverlight_games_101/archive/2007/10/03/announcing-the-farseer-physics-engine-for-silverlight-1-1-and-xna-game-studio.aspx ). He even got an official 'nod' from the Farseer owner, Jeff Weber
( http://jeffweber.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!B95A63DF4C9C0F2A!339.entry ).
I see a ton of potential for SL in the casual games market. Bill changed less than 100 lines of code
to get the physics engine ported. The engine and demos are stunning. And yet another great codeplex project under
Microsoft Permissive License.
Bill has a neat
product niche where he will write custom SL games branded for your company. Need any custom games? Check him out.
Note that Bill Reiss will be at Boston Remix. If you'd like to chat with him about his physics
engine, I plan on making him watch the bucs spank Indianapolis (or at least cover the 10.5 point spread) at the
Hyatt bar on Sunday at 400p. Hunt us up!

Green Applique Bird Towel 1 1
Very Cute I bought this for my mom for mother's day. It is very cute! My mom even used it as table decor! Not big enough to be a table runner or tablecloth but still very cute spread out & with a centerpiece on it. Probably not the most absorbent if used for a hand towel. May 22, 2013

Next will have to learn up a little bit more about OCing to higher frequencies... next target 3.6Ghz!!
Make sure you drop down your ram speed as well before upping the FSB or your ram will hold you back. For example, you have your PC at 15x200, your ram being 2x200. Then you go to 15x220 and while your CPU can take the extra speed, your ram might not handle 2x220. So you have to drop down the ram speed, ie increase the divider. And make sure you have good cooling, those Prescotts get really hot.

I have a big family. Both my parents grew up on dairy farms in northern Wisconsin. And as you may know, farming families tend to be big, because they need a lot of people to work the farm. And yet, you may find it very strange that there is a large segment of my family that hates eating vegetables.
Then I realized, how many men I talk to that really do not like the taste of vegetables. I often hear questions like, "to lose weight, do I have to eat vegetables?" Everyone does not like vegetables. When the typical weight loss guru talks to people that desperately want to lose weight, nearly the first thing that these "experts" are going to say, is "eat a lot of fruits and vegetables." That is poor advice to someone who considers vegetables about as tasty as castor oil.
The good news is that you can lose weight without eating vegetables. Remember the Fat Loss Formula? The Fat Loss Formula guarantees that if you eat less calories than your body needs, you will enjoy weight loss. You will burn belly fat. The Fat Loss Formula does not say anything about what type of food. It is all about the number of calories you eat.
Let me explain to you why they keep telling you to eat fruits and vegetables. In an article called "Can eating fruits and vegetables help people to manage their weight?" by the CDC, the explanation is very simple. (By the way, you don't have to read this report since I already have). Here is why fruits and vegetables help with weight loss. Fruits and vegetables have a very low calorie density. That means that for a given volume of food, as measured in cups, milliliters, or tablespoons (not weight), there are relatively fewer calories in fruits and vegetables.
Your body feels satisfied when you are full, right? Your desire for food gets shut down when your stomach signals that it has reached its volume limit. That means, when you eat and give your stomach a big volume of food, your brain tells you that you are not hungry anymore. And further, if this food contains less calories in volume (than the meals you have been eating), you win. You will lose weight. It is that simple.
There are a few types of food that will typically give you less calories for a given volume of food. In an article entitled "How to Lose Weight If You Dislike Vegetables? " by Katarina Fitzpatrick, she gives a lot of suggestions for what you can do, if you dislike vegetables.
- Substitute vegetables high in potassium with fruits that are also high in potassium. Many people feel better taking potassium during weight-loss programs to help with fatigue or weakness. Instead of eating broccoli, peas, lima beans, tomatoes and potatoes, substitute oranges, bananas, apples and dried apricots.
- Increase water consumption to help you feel full longer, boost your energy levels and increase your metabolism by eating fruits that are also high in water content. Instead of eating vegetables such as cucumbers, celery, lettuce and tomatoes, try eating cherries, melon, grapes, pineapple, mango and papaya.
- Add more legumes (meaning beans) into your diet. Legumes contain high amounts of fiber, as well as protein, to help you feel full longer. These include lima, kidney, garbanzo and pinto beans, as well as lentils and edamame.
My recommendation is to eat more protein – hard boiled eggs, chicken, fish, lean meat. A lean hamburger without the bun is also a reasonable option. There is nothing wrong with eating meat, and makes you feel full with not a large calorie load.
So right now, think about your next meal. Rather than passing up vegetables or fruit and eating a high calorie density meal (like burger, fries and milk shake), decide what alternative to that meal you will eat when that craving for junk food happens. Let me know what you decide to eat in the comments below.

Quite a few readers suggested that I am probably old, fat and/or someone who doesnt like jeans or fashion. Please allow me to brag that I was tested at 15 percent body fat, and I look good in most of the eight pairs of jeans I own. I also love fashion, which is why I am critical of it.
I do promise to try to avoid one-word answers in the future, but Im not going to retract my opinion. If your wife, your girlfriend or your boyfriend tells you something doesnt look good, there are two possibilities: They are right or they are wrong. I think its obvious that other people see us more completely and objectively than we see ourselves. I listen to my wifes fashion advice more than anyone elses, and believe it or not, she has probably made me dress with a more youthful style. She certainly has me wearing things tighter than I used to, which is probably why people stop me and ask for directions when Im in Europe.
And I do agree with my offended readers that what you wear shouldnt necessarily have to do with your chronological age. If you are athletic, you can certainly wear jeans, tees and other items associated with youth. Clint Eastwood still looks good in jeans, but I doubt that he would wear low-rise. I dont think anyone looks good in low-rise jeans, including Gisele Bündchen and Caroline Murphy.
Youth culture, as it has been transformed by the marketers now running it, is a distraction from the real business of being an adult with mature concerns. Dont confuse fashion with style. If it looks good, wear it. But there is something pathetic about a man trying to impersonate a boy. I never liked seeing scoutmasters dressed in scout uniforms. Gave me that same feeling as priests in dresses. But I love seeing little boys dressed up in blazers for special occasions. Its good to be a man.

Welcome fight fans to round one of the first-ever Bleacher Report Fantasy MMA Open Weight Grand Prix, where your votes will decide who truly is MMA?s ?Pound for Pound? king.
Before we get started, I would to thank Jessy Morris for allowing me to adapt his ?UFC Fantasy Tournament? idea.
I have chosen 32 fighters from across the MMA landscape to participate. You will notice some obvious omissions such as Brock Lesanr, Frank Mir, and Jose Aldo. The reason that I chose not to include them in this Grand Prix is simple: size matters.
All three are terrific fighters but I believe that their size alone would play too big a role in the outcome of their matches. So, for the purpose of this Grand Prix I only selected fighters in the 155lb to 250lb range.
As far as format in concerned, I gave the bracket a bit of a March Madness feel. The 32 fighters are broken down into four regions: Brazil, Japan, U.S., and Canada.
Now that you get the idea, let?s get down to business.
Brazil Region
Anderson Silva, UFC MW (1) vs. Muhammed Lawal, Strikeforce LHW (8)
It?s been said many times that Anderson Silva?s biggest weakness is his wrestling and that an elite wrestler would have the best chance at taking him out. King Mo Lawal is the embodiment of elite wrestling. Could he use that base to score a major upset?
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, UFC HW (4) vs. Junior Dos Santos, UFC HW (5)
Nogueira?s once legendary chin has suddenly turned to glass. Having lost two of his last three by stoppage, could Big Nog handle the fire power his young apprentice brings to the table?
Cain Velasquez, UFC HW (3) vs. Randy Couture, UFC LHW (6)
Velasquez put the MMA community on notice after his impressive first round KO victory over Big Nog at UFC 110. Could lighting strike twice against another MMA legend?
Lyoto Machida, UFC LHW (2) vs. Jeff Monson, Independent HW (7)
Jeff Monson may be far from being one of the best heavyweights in the game today, but his grappling credentials alone make him a dangerous foe. How would the counter striking Machida fare against such a powerful and imposing grappler?
Japan Region
Fedor Emelianenko, Strikeforce HW (1) vs. Rich Franklin, UFC LHW (8)
Fedor is possibly the greatest fighter MMA has seen in its young history. That said, many are questioning his current place in the sport. Rich Franklin is no slouch by any means.
Can Fedor continue his dominate reign over the sport?
Jon Fitch, UFC WW (4) vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, UFC LHW (5)
Fitch is widely regarded as the second best welterweight in the world. How would his grinding and methodical style fare against the always dangerous Little Nog?
Shinya Aoki, DREAM LW (3) vs. Ronaldo Souza, Strikeforce MW (6)
If you are a fan of high level grappling, then this matchup is for you.
Mauricio Rua, UFC LHW (2) vs. Thiago Silva, UFC LHW (7)
Once regarded as the best light-heavyweight in the world, "Shogun" Rua has taken a few steps back since his transition into the UFC until his razor thin decision loss against Lyoto Machida at UFC 104. Now he is back to looking like the Shogun of old.
How would he do against Thiago Silva, who in many ways mirrors his aggressive style?
U.S. Region
BJ Penn, UFC LW (1) vs. Dan Hardy, UFC WW (8)
Without question, the Prodigy, BJ Penn, will go down as one of the greatest fighters in the history of MMA and his dominance over the lightweight division is the stuff of legend.
But, how would be handle the larger and well rounded Dan Hardy?
Rashad Evans, UFC LHW (4) vs. Josh Koscheck, UFC WW (5)
What happens when two dominate wrestlers with explosive KO power cross paths?
Jake Shields, Strikeforce MW (3) vs. Vitor Belfort, UFC MW (6)
Jake Shields may not be the most exciting fighter in the world, but he gets the job done. How would his grinding style fare against the explosive and lightning fast hands of Vitor Belfort?
Dan Henderson, Strikeforce MW (2) vs. Nate Marquardt, UFC MW (7)
We all saw what happened the last time Marquardt took on an Olympic-level wrestler but Hendo doesn?t really rely too heavily on that part of his game.
Would Hendo continue the love affair with his striking against Marquardt?
Canada Region
Georges St. Pierre, UFC WW (1) vs. Gray Maynard, UFC LW (8)
Arguably the best functional wrestling in MMA today, GSP has been on a tear since losing his welterweight crown from Matt Serra at UFC 69.
Would former All-American wrestler Gray Maynard be able to stop GSP in his tracks?
Quinton Jackson, UFC LHW (4) vs. Thiago Alves, UFC WW (5)
Thiago Alves may fight in the welterweight division but the guy is an absolute monster and has been known to walk around well over the 200lb mark. Would his vicious Muay Thai be enough to outclass the heavy hitting Rampage?
Nick Diaz, Strikeforce WW (3) vs. Jon Jones, UFC LHW (6)
Nick Diaz could honestly be the most underappreciated fighter in MMA today. But, could the supremely talented Gracie black belt handle the fastest rising star in all of MMA, Jon Jones?
Gegard Mousasi, Strikeforce LHW (2) vs. Chael Sonnen, UFC MW (7)
If you still don?t know who Gegard Mousasi is, please hit yourself in the face now. The Dutch Armenian kickboxer and striking coach to Fedor is simply a beast.
How would he fare against the always game wrestling powerhouse, Chael Sonnen?
Please be sure to vote for your winners at the bottom. I will tabulate the votes and roll round two of the Grand Prix out sometime next week.

Thank you for the add. In my 16-years working as a Corrections Officer, Gang Unit Commander and the President of the Florida and the National Gang Investigators Associations representing more than 20,000 gang professionals, I have seen too often the results of gang violence. I started the Rusty Keeble Foundation to begin working hard to save both our communities and our kids from the violence caused by gangs. According to reports, Los Angeles has had more than 5,000 gang murders in the last 10-years.
Our latest assessment, which was released in January 2009 showed a reported 20,000 gangs and 1 Million gang members in the United States alone. It can be said, that an estimated 85% of all violent crime in the United States can be contributed in some way to gangs.
We are building an Army - a GANGFREE Project Army to build a grassroots effort to win this War on Gangs, stop the killing and breathe life back into our communities so our children (the future) can live and play instead of die and commit crimes.
"When you look into the eyes of a child; you see the future. When a child looks to you with those same eyes; they see their future. What you do today will ensure their future."

I promised many of my PoliceLink friends that I would keep you updated on my new mystery/suspense trilogy. I'm pleased to announce my first novel, Child Finder, has debuted this month. It is available online at Barnes & Noble, and
Amazon. It has already received some great reviews, to include a 5-Star rating by Armchair Interviews!
I am hosting a formal launch and book signing event at Borders bookstore, Chapel Hills Mall, Colorado Springs, CO on Sunday, June 7th, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm. It would be great to see you there, but if you cannot make it, then I hope you still get your hands on a copy of my book.
Please check my website where I have a pretty cool book trailer movie posted, as well as much more detail about the trilogy and upcoming book signing events: www.childfinder.us

Management Improvements Needed to Achieve Greater Efficiencies
November 15, 2012
The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) has not developed or implemented a plan to guide joint bases in achieving cost savings and efficiencies. The Department of Defense (DOD) originally estimated saving $2.3 billion from joint basing over 20 years, but in the absence of a plan to drive savings, that estimate has fallen by almost 90 percent. OSD also does not yet have a fully developed method for accurately collecting information on costs, savings, and efficiencies achieved specifically from joint basing. GAO previously reported that organizational transformations such as merging components and transforming organizational cultures should be driven by top leadership, have implementation goals and a timeline to show progress, and include a communication strategy. Although the joint bases anecdotally reported achieving some savings and efficiencies, without an implementation plan to drive savings and a means to collect reliable information on the specific costs, estimated savings, and efficiencies from joint basing, DOD will not be able to facilitate achievement of the goals of cost savings and efficiencies, track the extent to which these goals have been achieved, or evaluate the continuation or expansion of joint basing.

Former military Administration of old Imo state, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, has called for a return to true federalism in Nigeria in order to move the country to a greater height, in Umuahia
Kanu made the call at the public presentation and launching of the two books highlighting the speeches and achievements of the Abia State Governor, Dr Theodore Ahamefula Orji in the past one-year.
According to him, there is a strong will by Ndigbo and indeed Nigerians to live in an equitable country, jointly, separately or severally and there is also the will for Nigerians no matter the maneuverings of a few to resist inequity, injustice, suppression, oppression and retrogression.
Kanu said what appears lacking was the will to consummately establish the true wishes and will of the different people for the country they would love to live.
The former military Administrator expressed satisfaction with the administration of the governor and urged him not to be distracted in the good work he was doing.
In his speech, Governor Theodore Ahamefula Orji who expressed gratitude to God for the programmes and polices initiated by his administration which touched positively on the lives of Abians, said he was humbled by the two books written on his one year in office and reinstated his devotion to God and commitment to moving the state forward.
Orji commended the initiator of the project, Sam Hart, for deciding to document for posterity what he has been able to do within the period under review, pointing out that he was happy that within one year his administration was able to touch the lives of the people positively.
In their good will messages, two former military administrators of the state, Colonel Ike Nwosu ( Rtd) and Pastor Colonel Moses Fasanya (Rtd) urged the governor to be wary of sycophants who will come to him to blackmail others just to curry favour from him.

Still looking for the best in our education sector, the Director of Hallmark Nursery and Primary School, Agidingbi, Lagos, Mrs Meg Nwobia has urged would be proprietors and school owners to acquire the necessary qualifications before venture into school business as it got to do with the future of our children.
Speaking at a press conference to mark the 10th anniversary of the school, Nwobia noted that for a person to talk about owning a school such must have a passion for children which will drive the vision in him to work with children. Asides, she added that such a person must be someone who must have studied education and have taught for a minimum of ten years. According to her, this will enable him to know and understands what happens in the classrooms. He must have over the years gathered experience of how to deal with parents, children and teachers. Moreover, she said: "A Proprietor must get a good building conducive for learning and a place where children can run around.
Nwobia who disclosed that Hallmark school which started in October 2002 with a population of 39 pupils, 7 teachers and 3 assistants is modeled after Lea Valley School Haringey in North London, adding, "Hallmark today occupies a front-line position in the education sector in Nigeria as it has become an epitome of what a modern and model nursery and primary school in Nigeria."
However, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary, the Governing Board of Hallmark School has lined up a programme of exciting and interactive events such as a Book Fair, Dance Competition, Science Fair, Art Exhibition, Fashion Parade, Debate and lots more. According to her , the climax of the Anniversary celebrations will be a Dinner for Parents and other important stakeholders scheduled for 16th December, 2012.

Welcome back to Expat in Lisbon and today we are going to look at photos from Part I of my trip to Sintra, Portugal. Sintra is a UNESCO World Heritage site and well deserved. Sintra is home to a unique microclimate – due to its location up in the mountains – that is warm and sunny during the day but chilly and super windy at night! The air is crisp and clean and scented with the perfume of flowers and pine. There's a certain natural, perhaps even mystic, vibe to Sintra. What's for sure is that you can get some of the most breathtaking panoramas here!
I stayed in Nice Way Sintra Palace Hostel, which is an amazing location to stay, with very friendly staff and an excellent backyard to hang out in. Dinners there are also amazing and it is surprisingly clean and comfortable for an affordable hostel. For the dorms, its around 18 Euros a night.
If you ask most locals what is the one "must see tourist attraction" in Sintra, most of them would probably point you in the direction of Palácio da Pena. However, I've been there before and it is totally NOT worth the steep price of admission. Locals in the know would advise you to check out a much cooler attraction, namely, Quinta da Regaleira.
Quinta da Regaleira is an amazing place. You can really feel the energy and natural beauty of Sintra in this place. Once used for rituals and initiations, Quinta da Regaleira is rife with symbolism from the Freemasons and Alchemists. Sacred Geometry plays a key role in the designs of the entire property.
One of the coolest things about Quinta da Regaleira is the series of underground tunnels running throughout the property. There are rumors that these tunnels connect to Palácio da Pena and Castelo Mouros, but they are probably closed off. These tunnels were probably used in some initiatory purposes, leading the aspirant through a veritable "dark night of the soul", until finally, the aspirant finds the incredible Initiatic Well.
After climbing halfway out of the Initiatic Well, you come to a hallway that leads to a nice little pond with a rock crossing. Be careful crossing it though, because the water is knee deep!
From here, we went on to explore the rest of the property to the Northwest of the Initiatic Well. There, we found all sorts of cool rock formations:
So, from the picture it doesn't look very high, but from off the ground, it was a good 15 feet up. Just saying! After this, we wound back closer to the Palace and managed to stop and see a few sights along the way:
Ok, so this is what I call a cafe. I totally don't mind paying 1.20 Euros for an espresso here. Now, onto the palace itself, designed by architect Luigi Manini. I won't show you too many of the photos of the inside, because you should see it for yourself! But here's a glimpse of the tower, the alchemical laboratory, and some plans for the Initiatic Well.
Well, thanks for checking out Expat in Lisbon again!
Stay tuned for Part 2, and so long from Sintra!

"It started with a dozen or so Catholics from Renouveau Francais. Then more came along to replace those who had been arrested. By Tuesday night there were more than 150. Last night there were more than 300. The riot police treat the French Catholics with brutality, and arrest everyone in sight including priests, but every night the number of protesters has doubled. Doubtless there will be an even larger number tonight."
From the blog Soutien aux Militants
Bertrand Delanoë, the mayor of Paris, and Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota, the director of the theatre of the city, have just carried felt sorry for against of tens of young Christians.
Their crime? They did not want to let a representation of Christ be soiled with excrement then lacerated under the applause of a crowd. So they entered the theater, took to the stage and held a banner and endured the insults and obscenities from the crowd.
Shown to have blocked freedom of expression, each one of between them is liable, under the terms of Article 431-1 of the penal code, to one to three years of prison and fines from 15.000 to 45.000 euros. Additionally, they will have to pay court fees.
C' is a scandalous repression with l' opposition to all these Christians. Wounded in their faith, their insubordination was treated with a disproportionate and completely unjust violence.
These young people acted with humility and bravery. They find aujourd' today nailed with the media pilori: the World, Release, Humanity, Rue89, Nouvel Observateur, Télérama and the Cross denounce them jointly and indistinctly. It n' is jusqu' with the government, in the person of the Minister for the culture Frederic Mitterrand, which n' there goes from its judgment.
They have all sudden police custodies. A score d' hours for some; forty-eight hours – the legal maximum – for d' others. It is obvious that n' is not without consequences on their professional situation. Several already lost their employment. Another, young father, received a warning of his employer and risks also d' to be bachelor. Demonstrators were wounded by CRS; particularly one whose leg was crushed because a police van.
The youth of France should not bend. For that, it needs your assistance so that, tomorrow, it can still carry its convictions high and defend its values.

Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, BWV 79
|Bach was born in Eisenach, Germany, on
March 21, 1685, and died in Leipzig on July 28, 1750. His cantata BWV 79
was composed in 1725 and first performed on October 31 of that year in
Leipzig, under the direction of the composer. In addition to three vocal
soloists and chorus, the work is scored for two oboes, bassoon, two horns,
timpani, strings and continuo.
Bach wrote this cantata for Reformation Sunday and later reused three of its movements for his Mass in G major, BWV 236.
The opening movement is based on verse 11 of the very comforting and pastoral Psalm 84, but Bach makes it one of the most dazzlingly martial and energetic of all his works, one that conjures up a vision of numberless hosts fighting for the Right. It opens with a fanfare over insistent timpani against which the strings and winds present a grand march that leads to a lengthy three-voice fugue. After some five statements of the fugal theme, the brass and timpani return to introduce the grand, declamatory entrance of the chorus. By the time the chorus actually begins its fugal treatment of the theme, the tune has appeared so often that Bach immediately introduces it in the various voices in quick succession (a fugal technique called "stretto,") both at one-measure and half-measure intervals, thus heightening the musical tension and excitement. Listen for the reappearance of the horns above this rich sonic tapestry as the movement draws to a close.
Next comes a lovely, simple, pastoral alto aria that is decorated by an oboe obbligato. Its opening line of text is almost the same as that of the previous chorus, demonstrating Bach's ability to view a single text from two widely differing perspectives.
In the magnificent second chorale arrangement (the fourth movement), which is actually a three-part chorale concerto, the hymn tune sung by tenors is interwoven line by line with a (now famous) melody played by unison strings that is of a sweetness found rarely in Bach's cantatas; it may depict the graceful procession of the maidens going out to meet Jesus, the heavenly bridegroom.
The cantata's third movement is unique among Bach's works. He uses the opening chorus' fanfares to accompany a harmonization of the chorale "Nun danket alle Gott" using only horns, timpani and continuo. This movement's relative transparency provides a pause for the giving of thanks following a tumultuous battle.
A bass recitative is followed by a duet for bass and soprano with obbligato violins. The duet is unusual in that the vocalists almost never sing in counterpoint, giving the impression that two small figures stand alone against the forces of evil.
A simple chorale setting of the melody, "Wach auf, mein Herz, und singe," concludes the cantata.

Kanye West building 'Downton Abbey' home for Kim Kardashian?Add to Favorites | Keeping Up With the Kardashians
A source who is supposedly a friend of the couple tells the Daily Star, "Both Kanye and Kim love the U.K. They think it is so quaint and beautiful. Kanye is fascinated by European history, the aristocracy and the British Royals."
He loves watching 'Downton Abbey' on television and it's exactly the kind of place he would like to live in," the source continues. "They discussed moving to the U.K., but in the end they agreed on bringing a bit of Britain to Los Angeles."
Reportedly the couple has been scoping out a 10-acre site in Calabasas Hills, because Kanye supposedly wants "a statement home that will be passed down from generation to generation, in the way they used to be in the Britain of the Downton era."
The source adds, "Of course there will be a movie theatre, bowling alley and basketball court. It's going to be the family's palace so no expense will be spared on the decor. They intend it to be the most spectacular house ever built."

Foods That Heal: Antioxidant Rich Foods
By Nicole Hopping January 26, 2013 on Foods That Heal: Antioxidant Rich FoodsNo Comments
We're all well aware of the fact that food provides our basic nutritional needs — we need calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat to function throughout the day. Yet, as Hippocrates pronounced more than a 2000 years ago, food can also be medicine. The ancient systems of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, for example, have been using food as treatment and prevention of disease for thousands of years. While this idea is relatively new to the western world, scientists can now prove what the Chinese and Hindus have known all along — that many foods contain physiologically active compounds that have profound effects on the body.
The medicinal properties of food lie in phytochemicals, the compounds that act as antioxidants, mimic hormones, and suppress the development of disease.
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, compounds in our body that damage DNA, thus leading to disease. While our bodies have a system in place to eliminate free radicals on their own, a little extra boost from dietary antioxidants and other phytochemicals can be extremely effective in preventing disease.
Scores of foods have healing properties, but we've listed 12 here whose nutrients and chemical properties we find particularly advantageous.
- Beans: Pinto, kidney, small red, and black beans all made the USDA's list of Top 20 Antioxidant-Rich Foods. They also contain protease inhibitors which prevent malignant changes in cells, thus reducing the risk of cancer.
- Berries: Blueberries (wild, cultivated, or dried), cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries also made that USDA antioxidant list. We think of berries as a superfood though, because they have many cancer fighting properties. For example, they contain phenolic acids which help the body excrete carcinogens, and flavonoids which help prevent cancer-causing compounds called nitrosamines from forming within the body. Blueberries are also known to improve memory in animals, possibly having the same effect in humans.
- Broccoli: Since broccoli contains three different types of phytochemicals, it's high on our list. It touts carotenoids which are believed to reduce the risk of cancer, indoles which may trigger the production of enzymes that block DNA damage, and isothiocyanates which inhibit enzymes that activate carcinogens. In short, broccoli is a cancer-prevention powerhouse.
- Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are high in omega-3 fatty acid which lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart disease. They're also the richest food source of lignans which block estrogen activity in cells, possibly decreasing the risk of breast, ovary, colon, and prostate cancer.
- Garlic: The organosulfur compounds in garlic are believed to speed the production of carcinogen-destroying enzymes, thus reducing the risk of cancer. These compounds are also believed to lower blood cholesterol and pressure, and protect against stomach cancer.
- Oats: Widely known to help lower cholesterol, oats also help facilitate carcinogen excretion from the body. What's more, they're high in soluble fiber which aids in heart and colon health.
- Pecans: Chock full of antioxidants, vitamins, A, C, E, and K, and zinc, pecans are known to support a healthy immune system. Vitamin E also helps slow plaque formation in arteries, providing protection against heart attack and stroke.
- Spinach: High in calcium, spinach plays a large role in bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis. It also contains two types of carotenoids known to help protect the eyes against macular degeneration.
- Tomatoes: Like broccoli, tomatoes are phytochemical rich. Its saponins are thought to interfere with DNA replication, which prevents an existing cancer from spreading. Saponins also help stimulate immune responses.
- Potatoes: Potatoes also contain saponins and therefore boast some of the same disease fighting properties as tomatoes. What's more, they contain protease inhibitors and phenolic acids which help prevent cancer. Opt for russet potatoes, as they're the highest in antioxidants.
- Yogurt: Rich in calcium, yogurt helps maintain bone health. Perhaps more interestingly though, it also contains the probiotic lactobacillus, a living bacteria known to improve defenses against GI disorders.
- Apples: Gala, Granny Smith, and Red Deicious varieties all made the USDA's top 20 list of antioxidant rich foods. Apples in general also contain a type of flavonoid which may provide protection against lung cancer.
Naturally, the best way to reap the disease fighting benefits of phytochemicals and antioxidants is to eat a wide variety of foods, and to stick with colorful fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants work best when eaten in combination, so change your menu frequently. And as always, choose fresh, organic varieties whenever possible.

Album Summary
- Fredrik Ull�n (Piano)
Notes & Reviews:
International Record Review, May 2013
Brabbins directs with undemonstrative mastery and the Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra is suitably uninhibited in its response...That a Swedish orchestra (and record label) should have taken up [this music's] cause in so committed a fashion says much for its intrinsic qualities.
BBC Music Magazine, June 2013
This may be one of the most important contemporary orchesral CDs of 2013...Brabbins puts plenty of fire into the Norrk÷ping players in presenting this full-blooded, ferociously positive music. BIS's sonics are first-rate. An absolute triumph.
MusicWeb International, 23rd May 2013
Terrifically exciting...The Norrk÷ping Symphony and Martyn Brabbins may not sound like a guaranteed-knockout team, but here, as on the earlier Pickard disc, they have the technique, the muscle and the insight to make this a recording to cherish.
American Record Guide, July/August 2013
Sea-Change, from 1989, is a 17-minute tone-poem "about" the sea. I admire the craft that went into making it, in particular its largescale structural logic clearly audible in the development of the opening theme as it progresses through keys a fifth apart. Pickard's 2000 Piano Concerto is a fullscale effort: three joined fast-slow-fast movements lasting 31 minutes. From 2009, Tenebrae - a 24-minute threnody for Gesualdo.
