Natural Antioxidants Shield You From Cancer
It is a well known fact that antioxidants play a vital part in neutralizing free radicals and thereby indirectly acting against prevention of cancer. But, the most effective and simple approach for achieving health benefits against cancer is through consumption of fruits rich in antioxidants.
Cancer is one of the most detrimental health conditions as it proceeds at a faster rate as our body loses the control on our immune system and inner regulatory functions. This uncontrolled cell division carried out by the cancer cells slowly and steadily paves our way to become susceptible to the diminished immune action. The treatment approach itself involves a wide range of remedial measures depending upon the extent of the severity and all of which execute a painful and powerful effect on our body loaded with cancer cells.
One of the main reasons for acquiring cancer is attributed to imbalance between the production of antioxidants and free radicals that is, our body produces lesser amounts of antioxidants (the scavenger of free radicals that inhibit your way to acquiring cancer), which in turn results in more and more free radicals to be circulating in the body. This random circulation of the detrimental free radicals results in damage to DNA, which in turn paves way for genetic mutations, the basis of cancer occurrence.
Eat healthy diet and acquire effective antioxidants
Health experts always claim that the intake of a diet containing a minimum of five servings of nutritious fruits that are loaded with antioxidants on a daily basis significantly reduces your chances of acquiring cancer. Variations and colorful palate are what constitutes the diet rich in antioxidants and hence, it is said that a diet containing antioxidants is not only attractive and nutritious but also loaded with various health beneficial effects including the injurious cancer.
Here are some fruits that are loaded with antioxidants and easily accessible in addition to being affordable by every common man and very delicious in nature.
· Tomatoes – These red juicy and pulpy fruits contain higher amounts of lycopene, an antioxidant that is found to play a key role in acting as a protective agent against colorectal as well as prostate cancer. This component is found to be easily accessible from cooked tomato, but cooking denatures the various essential vitamins like B complex and C. Hence take this fruit in a blended form containing raw and cooked tomatoes.
· Strawberries – These nutritious fruits are rich in vitamin C content, which acts as a potent antioxidant and are also loaded with dietary fibers essential for various metabolic activities and the regular intake of these fibers is found to indirectly aid in protection of the defense system and thereby cancer prevention. These fruits can shield you against various types of cancers such as skin, breast, lung, esophageal and bladder cancer.

Lake Louise Elementary School Reviews
My son has been bullied on bus and in class, swollen red marks on his face crying when i pick him up! I get nothing from principle and such. I am now driving him back and forth this is kindergarden morning time... I HATE THIS SCHOOL!
I could not be more disappointed in this school. My child has without a doubt been damaged by his teacher. Her unhealthy need for attention/validation has put my child in danger. This is not only my opinion but the opinion of our family physician and an independent counselor.
I have always felt very welcome at Lake Louise. All 4 of my children have attended this elementary school. I know that the teachers and staff are all looking out for my children and only want the best for them. They want them to sucessful. My only wish would be that there was more parent involvement. The PTSA puts on several events all year that are very well attended, however you never see more than 5 parents at the PTSA meetings or that volunteer to help organize an event.
Lake Louise is a good school. The principal and staff are always looking for ways to improve academics, discipline and extra-curricular aspects of their programs. The teachers are dedicated and loving. The PTA sponsors great activities throughout the year for families to participate in like Dr. Seuss birthday party, kids night out, potato feed, family dance, donuts with dad, muffins with mom and lots more!
We have moved many times and been in many schools. I hope we can stay at Lake Louise for a long time we really like it.

Vanessa Valenzuela:
I would highly encourage you to watch the openings of each scene so these girls can let us know a little bit about when they first had sex, first masturbated-- you know the important details!! Vanessa has a spunky attitude which I like plus her face is so pretty I think it's her cheeks that draw you in! Her scene features no anal but she sucks cock beautifully, of course David shoots lots of hot tease of her tits and ass before the knob polishing begins. We also see a bit of skull fucking for this Arizona beauty courtesy of her costar Michael Stefano. Sexual highlights for me were doggie, cowgirl, and mish. Mr. Stefano delivers a huge load which this gorgeous gal swallows with ease.
bono-Meter: 9.0
Scarlet Haze:
The next girl to tempt us is a cute blond and Scarlet has a nice accent which adds to her appeal. The tease and dirty talk are nicely worked in together. Scarlet has a great body and her energy is real good. She takes on two studs, Michael is back along with Erik Everhard. The fellas pleasure Scarlet real good and she reciprocates sucking on their cocks. I love Erik's energy as well so this results in a super intense scene and the trio fed off each other throughout. Positional highlights were numerous; mish, RC, doggie anal, cowgirl DP, and finally a RC DP. Of course we get a hot standing dp for this sexy blond so enjoy this hot action! Scarlet takes two super loads down her throat and I think she is one to watch for sure.
bono-Meter: 9.0
Amber Rain:
Up next we meet blond cutie Amber who has the loveliest blue eyes and she's also quite the dirty talker. You need to watch the behind the scenes to find out Amber's excellent technique she uses for her blowjobs!! David shoots Amber all over as she feels her young body pausing nicely on her features. Michael is brought in once more and Amber is eager to please Mr. Stefano. The dirty talk gets directed to Amber and she takes it in as well as Michael's stiff dick. They have some fun sexwise running through mish, cowgirl, RC, and doggie. The views are varied with the floor shots being a personal fave. To end the scene Michael absolutely coats her face with spunk.
bono-Meter: 8.5
We see an old friend next as Brandon Iron is there to introduce Stacy who is looking all cute and cuddly. Mr. Iron's hands are in constant motion feeling over her body plus they share some conversation. The nice leisurely pace was cool as Brandon slowly gets Stacy naked. Wow, she has one fine ass which she spanks for us. This girl proves to be a good cock sucker and her eye contact was good also. Positional highlights for Stacy start witha butt shaking cowgirl, wow this fucking rocked! I'm so glad David shot this position for as long as he did. Brandon also fires away in mish and doggie before coating Stacy's face with his sperm. Great cleanup as well from Stacy who proudly states she was born in 1984 and that she's got a stranger's cum all over her face!
bono-Meter: 8.5
Kelly Kroft:
Up next we one of the years more impressive newcummers on the gonzo scene. Kelly Kroft has started her porn career while still in high school!! Her body is sinful, it's so well developed led by her miraculous pair of natural breasts. Kelly has fun teasing us squeezing her tits and you'll see some sexy blue lingerie as well adorning Miss Kroft. This was her second scene ever, filmed two weeks before her high school graduation! She's already an expert at the art of tease showing just enough to make you want to see more. David includes plenty shots of her tits and later on her ass. Michael is back along with Dick Delaware and the fellas waste little time ravaging Kelly's knock out body. This blond bombshell is already great at sucking cock and the guys certainly stuff her mouth with their stiff cocks hard and often. Sexwise they run through some good ones including mish and here Dick pops early, I can't blame him and Michael finishes the scene. We see spoon anal, doggie anal, and there's a mish finish with Kelly taking a great load onto her tongue and then letting it dribble out onto her ample chest!
bono-Meter: 9.5
Cherry Lane:
A pretty spunky girl who goes by the name of Cherry Lane is next. I love this girls eyes and we find out this is only her 5th b/g scene. Cherry has fun talking dirty to us as she shows off her body including a great pair of tits. We see some great masturbation shot with Cherry, the up close shots were outstanding. Scott Lyons joins her and he is soon dining on her young bush plus there's some finger play as well. Cherry is an excellent cock sucker and she keeps up fingering her pussy while the bj is still underway. Sexwise you see mish, doggie, cowgirl, and RC. Scott then provides a good load for Miss Lane to play with and her cleanup is good.
bono-Meter: 8.5
Extras & Final Thoughts:
This was a great young girl dvd led by several good performances. I liked them all especially Kelly, Vanessa, and Scarlet. In the extras Amber returns giving a fine bj resulting in a facial. Vanessa also makes another appearance and her bj was really good resutling in a fabulous internal mouth cumshot which she spills back out over his cock!! So enjoy the extra blowjobs and if you check out the behind the scenes like I said earlier Amber nicely explains her fellatio techinque! This release is easily recommendable!

Missing info stalls Balmer probe
By Leslie Jorgensen
Members of a legislative ethics committee agreed to postpone a vote on "probable cause" in a complaint filed against Assistant House Minority Leader David Balmer while expressing frustration that — because Balmer hasn't complied with requests for e-mails, phone records and other pertinent information — their investigation has been stalled.
Committee Chair Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, also registered dismay that the response to the complaint submitted on behalf of Balmer by attorney Jon Anderson failed to include Balmer's personal account of what did or did not happen, his denial and his signature.
"The statement reads like the attorney's conclusions," Levy said, adding that it's devoid of Balmer's "personal voice… I expect a written answer from Balmer."
A final request for Balmer's statement and communication records was made Jan. 20, directly after the ethics committee meeting.
In addition to Levy, the ethics committee includes Reps. Kathleen Curry, D-Gunnison; Joel Judd, D-Denver; Tom Massey, R-Poncha Springs; and Ken Summers, R-Lakewood.
"I'm focusing on what information I don't have," said Curry, who suggested voting for "probable cause" if Balmer does not provide the necessary records.
The committee is charged with determining if there is probable cause to make an ethics violation charge — not to determine if a violation occurred. If it finds probable cause, a formal hearing will be held, allowing the committee to subpoena records and witnesses.
The ethics investigation stems from a complaint filed last month by Rep. Cindy Acree, R-Aurora, against Erik Groves, a lobbyist for the Colorado Chiropractic Association, alleging that he attempted to influence her vote in an election for House Republican leadership.
On the basis of Acree's complaint, Minority House Leader Mike May filed ethics charges against Balmer, of Centennial, questioning whether he instigated calls to Acree by Groves and two chiropractors. As a lobbyist, Groves is prohibited from becoming an "active participant" in internal elections.
Groves and the chiropractors stated that they called Acree without Balmer's knowledge, and had no contact with him during the leadership race.
Balmer and Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, began vying for the House Minority leadership post on Dec. 12 when May announced his intention to resign. The contest ceased Dec. 16 when May withdrew plans to resign and filed the ethics complaint against Balmer.
Balmer's attorney did not attend the committee's meeting, but sent a letter stating that the its original request for communication records was too broad and violated his client's privacy in family and business matters.
The committee clarified that personal or business information can be redacted in the communication records.
The committee is particularly interested in how Groves identified Acree as a "fence sitter" in the leadership election. According to Acree's complaint, no one knew she was undecided except Balmer — which implied that Balmer told Groves and others.
In addition, committee members want to probe Acree's allegation that a chiropractor or someone else offered her a future committee chairmanship.
"Judging by the e-mails, the chiropractors were enamored with Acree," said Massey.
But he questioned her assertion that one of them had left a phone message promising a committee chair. Instead of promising a chair, he suggested, perhaps the individual was suggesting that she had the potential to be a good committee leader.
In hopes of answering these riddles, Massey requested access to recordings of Groves' testimony at a Jan. 16 hearing by a separate ethics committee.
The committee reconvenes at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28.

Runs on Dunkin.
House Republicans are quietly discussing the option of not writing a budget in 2014, a maneuver that would free up time on the legislative calendar and protect GOP lawmakers from a potentially damaging vote in an election year.
The idea of Republicans skipping this year's budgetary process seems odd when considering the House GOP made history last year by attaching a policy rider called "No Budget, No Pay" to a debt-limit extension. That measure tied lawmakers' salaries to budgets being written in both chambers and paved the way for a budget agreement between House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan and Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray.
But unbeknownst to some lawmakers at the time — and still some today — is that "No Budget, No Pay" was a one-year provision. It is now expired. This, combined with the fact that Ryan-Murray set spending figures for the next fiscal year anyhow, has some House Republicans wondering if a budgeting process this year is really necessary.
"There are folks in the Republican Conference who don't want to pass a budget this year," said Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, who disapproves of the idea. Asked to explain his colleagues' reasoning, Mulvaney mimicked: "We've already got a 302A number; why do we need a budget? Ryan-Murray set a number; why would we need to have a budget?"
A senior House GOP leadership aide confirmed there is a push coming from "political types" for House Republicans not to get engaged with a budget this year for fiscal 2015.
"Yes, there's been some of that," the aide said. The staffer identified some of those instigating such talk as people at the National Republican Campaign Committee. But he said he believed it is not getting much "traction" among House GOP leaders or members.
When pressed about such talk, NRCC Chairman Greg Walden dismissed it, saying he believes the House GOP will do a budget this spring. "I think we're fully headed in the direction of doing a budget. I think it's required by law," Walden said.
John Boehner's spokesman, Michael Steel, agreed: "House Republicans intend to pass a budget this year."
It makes sense for GOP campaign operatives to make such a push, according to several GOP lawmakers who asked not to be quoted on the subject. The previous Republican budgets passed by Ryan's committee and adopted by the House have been so ideologically charged, they explained, that some Republicans think it's time — especially in an election year — to avoid any polarizing votes that would hand ammunition to the Democrats.
But such a passive approach won't fly with conservatives in the GOP conference. As with health care reform, privacy legislation, and tax reform, the hard-liners in the party are urging House leadership to adopt their "bold" ideas — not just on paper, but on the House floor.
"It's one thing to say we're for this; it's another thing to say we're for this so much we're willing to take a vote on it, and debate it, and take the arrows that the other side is going to sling at us," said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio. "I think that's important in an election year."
The congressional timetable sets April 15 as the deadline for completing action on the annual budget resolution.
Senate Democrats have not indicated whether they plan to write another budget this year, and Murray's office declined to shed light on the subject when asked about the chairwoman's plans.
Ryan spokesman William Allison said, "We don't have any announcements to make at this time." But he added, "It is Chairman Ryan's intent to again put forward a balanced budget."
Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, cochair of the "Tuesday Group" of moderate Republicans, said he doubted any such "no-budget" maneuver was seriously being considered in the House. At the same time, Dent and other Republicans suggested that ignoring the budget process one year after "No Budget, No Pay" could appear blatantly hypocritical.
Rep. James Lankford, the Republican Policy Committee chairman and a member of GOP leadership, said members have been approaching him recently to ask if, in fact, they can get away without doing a budget this year.
"Yes, there is still statutory responsibility to do a budget," Lankford said. "Now, if a budget is not done, it's true that a budget number is deemed.... That number is set. But the argument's not about the budget itself; the argument's really about a vision. How do we fix the long term deficit? You're not resolving that without a budget."

|Autonomic changes with seizures correlate with postictal EEG suppression.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22539579 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) poses a poorly understood but considerable risk to people with uncontrolled epilepsy. There is controversy regarding the significance of postictal generalized EEG suppression as a biomarker for SUDEP risk, and it remains unknown whether postictal EEG suppression has a neurologic correlate. Here, we examined the profile of autonomic alterations accompanying seizures with a wrist-worn biosensor and explored the relationship between autonomic dysregulation and postictal EEG suppression.
METHODS: We used custom-built wrist-worn sensors to continuously record the sympathetically mediated electrodermal activity (EDA) of patients with refractory epilepsy admitted to the long-term video-EEG monitoring unit. Parasympathetic-modulated high-frequency (HF) power of heart rate variability was measured from concurrent EKG recordings.
RESULTS: A total of 34 seizures comprising 22 complex partial and 12 tonic-clonic seizures from 11 patients were analyzed. The postictal period was characterized by a surge in EDA and heightened heart rate coinciding with persistent suppression of HF power. An increase in the EDA response amplitude correlated with an increase in the duration of EEG suppression (r = 0.81, p = 0.003). Decreased HF power correlated with an increase in the duration of EEG suppression (r = -0.87, p = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: The magnitude of both sympathetic activation and parasympathetic suppression increases with duration of EEG suppression after tonic-clonic seizures. These results provide autonomic correlates of postictal EEG suppression and highlight a critical window of postictal autonomic dysregulation that may be relevant in the pathogenesis of SUDEP.

Struck matches ignite quickly,
And then burn brightly in your hand until you
Blow them out
And watch a stream of smoke
Curl into a smirk in the air.
You and I were like a book of matches.
Every converstation was a flame
I hungered for
And every disappointment
A means to blow it out.
An inferno can be a beautiful thing, but
I should have known better than to
Play with fire.
Now all I'm left with is a few charred matches,
A few burnt fingers,
And a pile of soot
That I'd rather sweep under the carpet
Like in a Mary Poppins movie.
I use my last match to light a cigarette
And I inhale the sweet air,
Tasting a hint of failure.
My lungs fill with smoke
And somewhere in my exhale
I become a cynic.

Nine Lives of an Alaska Bush Pilot Book By Ken Eichner
Product #: 558337 Taylor Freelance #: Nine Lives AK Bush Pilot UPC #: 9780966251715
- Information
Nine Lives of an Alaskan Bush Pilot was written by legendary rescue pilot Ken Eichner, "9 Lives" explores the life and adventures of one of the first helicopter bush pilots in Alaska. Explore the early days of helicopters as Ken tells of his adventures as a pilot from the second world war through the present day. If you have an interest in aviation, search and rescue, or in Alaska's pioneer spirit, Eichner's memoir is for you. Aimed at bush pilots and their fans, Eichner's tale spans 53 years in the air over Southeast Alaska. In it he re-tells his experiences at the Granduc Avalanche, the crash of Alaska Airlines flight 63, the search for famed arctic pilot Howard Gillam, and dozens upon dozens of other real-life rescues that made Eichner a legend in Southeast. While Eichner made his name flying helicopters, about half of the book deals with the bush planes that are so much a part of life in Southeast. Much of Eichner's business involved mineral exploration, chasing gold, copper, and uranium deposits from the seat of a Piper PA-12. Illustrated with some 120 pictures and four maps, Eichner's memoir is surprisingly visual. A member in good standing of the Kodak generation, Eichner carried a camera with him to some truly striking vistas, ranging from Glacier Bay, to the Brooks Range north of the Arctic Circle, to Savoonga, a windswept community on an island not far from the Russia/Alaska border.

Over the past few weeks, we've heard many people say, "The iPad is cool, but what would I do with it?" This new series aims to answer that question. We'll examine one user case per post, from couch surfer to mobile professional, and describe just how that person uses his or her iPad.
I love food. In fact, I probably love it too much. Part of the problem is that I was a ovo-lacto vegetarian for 17 years and a pesco-vegetarian for 5 years after that. Now, I want to eat all of those things that were "forbidden fruit" for 22 years, and it has really made me appreciate good food.
Being a foodie isn't just about eating food, however. It's also about having the skill and desire to cook food. Yeah, that means being a wannabe gourmet chef. And there's one more piece to the foodie puzzle - beverages. I mean, what's the use of being able to whip up a killer bison chili without knowing what wine or beer would go best with it?
What I've found is that the iPad is a much better foodie-puter than either a MacBook or an iPhone. I can turn off screen dimming, twist the Apple iPad Case around so that the iPad is standing straight up, and see recipes from across the kitchen. Even with the screen at regular brightness, I don't have to worry about my battery getting chewed up while I'm working on a time-consuming dinner. Want to know what apps I'm using to feed my foodie jones? Read on...
Probably the first food-related app that I downloaded to the iPad was the free Epicurious (above). It's universal, meaning that it works on, both, the iPhone and the iPad. However, it's much easier to read on the iPad, especially when you crank up the font size to the largest one available. I love the way that there's a bright orange pointer that you can drag down the recipe text, so you always know where you are at a glance. There are tons of recipes on the app, and they change by season or holiday.
Each recipe has a shopping list icon; a tap on that icon pushes the ingredients to a shopping list. Once you're ready to go to the store, it creates a combined shopping list that can be emailed to my iPhone (no, I'm not going to carry my iPad around the grocery store). The app has one downside in that you can't just share your favorites and recipes between devices by signing into an account. That would make life with Epicurious even easier.
What about some of those recipes that I'd like to use that aren't in the Epicurious app? Well, that's where GoodReader for iPad (US$0.99, screen shot below) comes in handy. Let's say that my wife finds an excellent recipe on the Whole Foods Market Web site. She'll usually email a link to the recipe to me, which I then open on my Mac. Yes, I could download the recipe page directly to my iPad with GoodReader's built-in Web browser, but the page formatting is often off. Instead, I'll open the Web page on the Mac, press the Print Recipe button on the Web page, and then I'll print it to a PDF file. That file is saved in a recipes folder in Dropbox, which I can open in GoodReader.
Another free app that I've found useful when trying to nab recipes is BigOven Lite (below). This is an advertising-supported version of BigOven ($9.99), and doesn't include the grocery list syncing function that is in the full edition. There are over 170,000 recipes available in the BigOven.com database that can be searched by name, by keyword, or even by what leftovers you have around the house. The recipes show up in, both, an overview (which displays an ad) and a "prepare" format, which lists ingredients in one column and preparation instructions in another. This app works much better in portrait mode on the iPad, so i just stand my iPad up by leaving the cover of the Apple Case open.
One issue that we amateur chefs run into quite often is resizing recipes that are set up for larger groups of people. Since I most often cook for just my wife and I, it's frustrating to see recipes that are sized for 4 or 6 people. Yeah, in many cases I can just do a simple "divide by two" in my head to resize a recipe for the two of us. What if I'm having a large group of people over and want to scale up a recipe, though? That's where Serving Sizer Pro for iPad ($2.99) has been useful. It's also helpful for organizing those family recipes or ideas that I come up with. If I suddenly decide I need to make something for 15 people, I can just change the servings and see what the ingredient quantities turn out to be.
Want to clean your kitchen of all of those bulky cookbooks? Remember, your iPad is an e-book reader as well. There's a pretty decent selection of cookbooks in the iBooks Store, including some free classics, cookbooks for special diets, and most of the more recent celebrity chef cookbooks. If the iBooks Store selection isn't enough for you, there's always the free Kindle reader for iPad.
Fellow TUAW editor Mike Rose noted that it's a good idea to put your iPad into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag to keep the device from getting splashed with liquids or covered with greasy fingerprints. The iPad will still respond to taps through the plastic.
One of my favorite iPhone apps for looking up wine ratings has been ported to the iPad. The Wine Ratings Guide for iPad ($3.99) is the source for over 1 million wine ratings, and provides information on name, price, varietal, food pairings, a flavor profile, and more. You can add your own wines and ratings, photographs of labels, and more. The app looks a little odd on the iPad (it's like it really wasn't scaled up to the larger screen), but it's still a good purchase for the foodie and wine enthusiast. If you own both an iPad and an iPhone, I'd suggest getting the iPhone version instead.
That's how I'm using my iPad to assist my hobby as a food aficionado. Have you found any fun or useful apps for your iPad that have been helpful in the kitchen? If you have, let us all know by leaving a comment below.

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- A truce in Gaza that was supposed to last three hours on Wednesday failed after just 15 minutes.
The suspension of the campaign from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. was intended to allow residents of the Hamas-ruled Palestinian territory to receive food and medical supplies.
Israeli forces fired at militants in Gaza after Hamas militants targeted Israeli forces "almost immediately at 1 p.m.," according to Israeli Defense Ministry spokesman Peter Lerner.
While the guns fell silent for several hours on Wednesday, news reports from the Israel-Gaza border area said a string of explosions was soon heard after the three-hour lull ended. Israel said the three-hour lull would be repeated every other day between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to allow Gaza's population to seek medical help, buy food and receive humanitarian supplies.

Broscience Part #3: 'Do You Even Run, Bro?'
It's back: Broscience. Guaranteed to get you talking whether you sit in the broscience or proscience camps. Sports and nutrition can be a minefield of myths so we've looked at some of the broscience myths most commonly heard in the gym and put some proscience behind them. If you're new to our Broscience series, take a look at Part #1 and Part #2 where we debunk common Broscience myths.
In the third part of the Broscience series we're talking about cardio. Advocated by some and shunned by others, the waters sure are murky when it comes to cardio workouts. When it comes to busting the myths behind cardio remember: everyone's body is different. Sports nutrition is not 'one size fits all' and it's important to listen to your body to take it to its maximum.
We've just selected a handful of myths and applied a healthy dose of proscience, have a read and let us know if you're on #teampro or #teambro.
BROSCIENCE: You can run off the pounds
ACTUAL SCIENCE: Some follow a 'calories in – calories out' ethos. To some extent this works in that if you eat 400 calories and burn 400 calories they will equal each other out. However, if you want to see results and are following a bad diet, you'll have to burn far more calories than you put in and will need to reach a calorie deficit to lose weight. Cardio is good for cardiovascular health, but most people use cardio as a fat loss tool, something which is unachievable and unsustainable. No amount of time clocked up on the treadmill can compensate for an out-of-control diet.
BROSCIENCE: You only burn fat when you're exercising in the "fat-burning zone."
ACTUAL SCIENCE: You've probably been told in the past that you can only burn fat when you're in the fat burning zone. Most cardio equipment will also show a graph of 'fat burning' and 'cardio zones depending on heart rate. To some extent this does hold some truth as ultimately when you exercise, at any intensity, you burn calories. The more calories you burn during a cardio workout again, the more fat you'll lose. However, different types of fat will be burnt during a cardio workout. In what is typically called the 'fat burning zone' you will burn fat calories, but in the typical 'cardio zone' you will burn glycogen calories burnt as well as fat. So whichever zone you choose to workout in, fat will be burned.
BROSCIENCE: You have to sweat a lot to get the most out of a cardio workout.
ACTUAL SCIENCE: Sweating during your cardio workout is really not indicative of how hard you are working. Sweating is not a direct result of fat burning, it is merely a mechanism that the body uses to cool itself and can vary from person to person. However sweat itself is good for you – when you sweat your pores open and allow any dirt on the surface of the skin to exit and it is believed that when your body heats up it generates more white blood cells, strengthening your immune system. Sweating is beneficial, but not essential for cardio.
BROSCIENCE: To get the most benefit, do cardio on an empty stomach in a "fasted state."
ACTUAL SCIENCE: To fast or not to fast – that is the question! On one side of the fence people believe that in order to burn fat you have to do cardio on an empty stomach – the theory being that if you don't have anything in your stomach from your previous meal then it will be quicker and easier to burn fat and it will help you to achieve a calorie deficit.
But on the other side of the fence people believe you should eat before your workout as you need fuel and energy in order to be able to do cardio. Although there are many schools of thought on this subject, we are all different and the best thing is to find what is best for you.
If you haven't eaten before your workout and feel light headed or sick then it is probably best to have a healthy snack. Ideally supplementing your diet with BCAAs will help to tell the body to target your calorie fat rather than glycogen fat.
This is just a snippet of cardio myths and myth busters out there. Have you got your own cardio broscience? or have you been converted? We'd love to hear if you have any more pro or bro tips on cardio – simply tweet @BulkPowders or drop us a line on Facebook to let us know.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition in which a person is often worried or anxious about many things and finds it hard to control this anxiety.
GAD; Anxiety disorder
There is no test that can make a diagnosis of GAD. The diagnosis is based on your answers to questions about the symptoms of GAD. Your health care provider will ask about these symptoms, and will likely ask you about other aspects of your mental and physical health. A physical exam or laboratory tests may be done to rule out other conditions that cause similar symptoms.
The goal of treatment is to help you feel better and function well in daily life. In less severe cases, talk therapy or medication alone can be helpful. In more severe cases, a combination of these may work best.
Talk Therapy
Many types of talk therapy may be helpful for GAD. One common and effective talk therapy is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT can help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, your behaviors, and your symptoms. Often CBT involves a set number of visits. During CBT you can learn how to:
Medicines can also be an important part of treatment. Once you start them, do not stop taking them without talking with your health care provider. Commonly prescribed medicines for GAD include antidepressants and benzodiazepines.
Other than taking medicine and going to therapy, you can help yourself get better by:
You can ease the stress of having GAD by joining a support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Support groups are usually not a good substitute for talk therapy or medication, but can be a helpful addition.
How well a person does depends on how severe the condition is. In some cases, GAD is long-term and is difficult to treat. Most patients, though, get better with medicine and/or talk therapy.
Depression and substance abuse may occur with an anxiety disorder.
Call your health care provider if you frequently worry or feel anxious, especially if it interferes with your daily activities.

For example I have one artist, The Wildhearts, that I have about 20 CD's of, however when I do a search for artist The WILDHEARTS I only get 11 songs. I have had a look at the info tags to see if there is any difference but I can't see one.
What info does ME search for the text searches???
ANy help much appreciated.

Happy New Year! After a relaxing 3 week break I am now back at work, and back at regular writing for Māori Law and Politics after a rather sporadic approach during the last few months of 2012. Thanks to all my readers who keep coming back despite the lack of new content, your comments and support provide the inspiration to keep going with this project. As part of my new year resolutions I am aiming to devote more time to this blog, starting with a regular weekly posting schedule, with new content on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
2013 promises to be another big year in the Māori legal and political spheres. The water rights and asset sales debate continues, with the Supreme Court set to hear the case in late January. I will have an article up on Wednesday discussing the High Court decision and a further post on Friday discussing the various calls for Chief Justice Sian Elias to recuse herself from the hearing. I still believe that Mighty River Power will be partially privatized this year, despite the continuing resistance from various Iwi and Māori groups.
2013 also promises to be a very busy year work wise for me, with the Waitangi Tribunal commencing its hearings in the Te Paparahi O Te Raki District Inquiry in March, and continuing with the Te Rohe Pōtae District Inquiry hearings. I will be writing about my experiences with these Tribunal hearings as the year goes on. And, finally, I am worked on a few big projects associated with this blog, and my legal work, throughout this year. All will be revealed in due course, and I am very excited about the prospects of these projects.

Fostex Orthodynamic Line Overview
From Wikiphonia
Brief History and General Information
Company History
The Fostex Company was founded in July 1973 by Foster Electric Co., Ltd. (founded 1949). Fostex was established to brand high quality speaker components from Foster and sell them direct to consumers and dealers in the Japanese marketplace. As to be expected of a division of Foster Electric Co., Ltd., Fostex also produces a range of microphones, headphones, studio monitors and portable PA speakers.
Orthodynamic Headphone Line History
Fostex started making orthodynamic headphones in the mid 70's and continues to manufacture them to this date under the RP (Regular Phase, or as Fostex now calls it, Regulated Phase) moniker. Fostex describes the technology this way:
Key to the transparent sound reproduction is Fostex's RP Technology, a proprietary transducer and diaphragm design that has earned Fostex more than twenty international patents and has been successfully applied to microphones, headphones and loudspeakers used and relied upon in professional and commercial sound installations worldwide.
There have now been three generations of RP headphones. With each, the sound signature has moved farther away from audiophile to one tailored to the specific needs of studio professionals. Which is not to say that the sound of the latest generation can't be wrestled back into the audiophile realm-- it will simply take a lot of work and expense.
Fostex Orthodynamic Line Models of Interest
Fostex T50 v2 & OEM headphones
As you might have noticed the names of the models were reused over the years and sometimes the same name was used for two completely different headphones. Wualta created a simple guide in the orthodynamic thread, here is the link to the wiki article with this Fostex orthodynamic headphone identification guide.
In addition to the models listed above there were several probable Fostex OEM headphones:

Pentax K100D review
By: WDC Team, What Digital Camera (Nov 1, 2006)
There's a lot to recommend the Pentax. I like the camera's design, if not the menu, and it can produce the goods if you treat it with care. Certainly image quality is potentially excellent, but there is an issue with the camera's metering system.

The conspiracy angle behind this whole thing is that the federal reserve has been taking 1% per year in gold certificates and after a hundred years they will have it all. Anyone holding gold will once again be called to give it in as in 1933 by force if necessary because at that point all gold will be pledged to pay off our interest on debt.
Originally posted by ISHAMAGI
As most of you know the federal reserve was established 12/23/1913. The term of this charter is 100 years. Supposedly according to leap years this charter is to end on that magical Mayan date. Some say the date is 2013, I know the math is funny.

Human Metapneumovirus Burden High for Young Children
THURSDAY, Feb. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Children younger than 5 years old have substantial rates of hospitalizations and outpatient visits for human metapneumovirus (HMPV), according to a study published in the Feb. 14 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Kathryn M. Edwards, M.D., from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tenn., and colleagues assessed the prevalence of HMPV infection from 2003 to 2009 using a reverse-transcriptase polymerase-chain-reaction assay in inpatient and outpatient children younger than 5 years old who were asymptomatic or had acute respiratory illness or fever.
The researchers found that HMPV was present in 1 percent of asymptomatic children, 6 percent of hospitalized children, 7 percent of children in outpatient clinics, and 7 percent of children in the emergency department. The annual hospitalization rate was one per 1,000 children, but was two to three per 1,000 for children younger than 1 year. The rates of outpatient visits associated with HMPV were 55 per 1,000 clinic visits and 13 per 1,000 emergency department visits. The authors note that these rates are similar to influenza virus and lower than respiratory syncytial virus. Compared with children hospitalized without HMPV, children hospitalized with HMPV were older and more likely to have more severe disease. Most children with HMPV infection had no underlying medical conditions.
"In conclusion, HMPV is frequently associated with acute respiratory illness in young children that requires medical attention, and HMPV infection represents a substantial health care burden among both inpatients and outpatients," Edwards and colleagues conclude.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

Strategic Overview of the North American Microelectric Vehicles Market
- October 2011
- Region: North America, United States
- 89 Pages
- Frost & Sullivan
This study presents strategic overview of North American microelectric vehicles market. It introduces and analyses the low-speed vehicles (LSVs), an entirely new emerging class of medium-speed vehicles (MSVs) and A-segments comprising microelectric vehicles market. It also presents an overview of vehicle segmentation, OEMs, market size, roadmaps, regulatory requirements, model profiling, and demand-supply analysis. It also presents the market drivers, restraints, and trends impacting the market. Market engineering dynamics including scenario analysis, market share analysis, and chassis design strategies is also discussed. It concludes with recommendations including potential target end-users to drive sales.
Key Highlights:
- The MSV segment is positioned between the LSV segment and A-Segment (Basic). Two key MSV models recently announced for launch are the Tomberlin Anvil (E-motion) and RevolutionUSA EV Noble.
- Thirty-four new base models will be introduced in the next three years, taking the total microelectric vehicles models count in North America to above 150.
- Many North America Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), including two of the three largest manufacturers,plan to enter the LSV segment. The European and Asian OEMs in North America plan to enter the A-segment largelythrough launches before 2013.
- A comparison of microelectric vehicles chassis design cannot be drawn because each announced microelectric vehicle is designed for a specific purpose. For example, the CT&T model is designed for city application, whereas the Tomberlin models are designed for light commercial applications.
- OEMs could start using existing A-segment vehicle platforms to build MSVs, which would reduce motor power and achieve cost reduction from the utilization of carry-over parts. SHOW LESS READ MORE >

BMW Seeks Olympic Gold (7/27/12)
Fri, 27 Jul 2012|
Chevy, Jeep also advertising in London games; book says U.S. ignored dealership job losses; Lapham: Car-share sickness.
Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
Let the games begin. Auto makers hope to cash it during the Olympics. Whose favorite will tell you. That. Thanks so much for joining us on this Friday. The opening ceremony of the 2012 summer Olympic Games in London taking place today. In in the days that follow hundreds of millions of people across the globe will be tuning in to watch some of the world's greatest athletes in action. And when it comes automotive advertising. To borrow a term from tennis. Advantage BMW. For starters the company is the official automotive partner of the Olympics. It is sponsoring a fleet of 3200. Vehicles that will shuttle athletes in VIPs around London. The automaker is also a sponsor of the US track and field in swimming teams. And American viewers will be seeing plenty of BMW's. During NBC broadcasts. Because BMW. Is the only import brand that will advertised during the games. General Motors however has scored exclusive domestic rights. For the NBC broadcast. And we'll use the platform to launch the Cadillac eighteen yes. Which it hopes will compete with the -- -- three series. To hoops now weird -- has latched on to the US men's and women's basketball teams. It's been using TV print in social media to promote the bond. Back to BMW which is built this enormous pavilion with in the Olympic park to showcase its cars. Well it turns out the German auto maker's dominance sponsorship. And all the rules that go with it. Is a reason some companies like Honda and Ford. See they'll be sitting out these games. And one of the problems our financial system is adequate guaranteed the government we Calvin now. There's a new tell all book on the US led bailouts of GM Chrysler and big banks. In this one provides at least some vindication. For hundreds of dealers whose franchises were terminated. The book is simply titled bailout. Its author Neil Borowski. He's the former special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program or TARP. According to the Detroit news. Borowski says the Obama administration. Pressed GM and Chrysler to close dealerships without regard to the resulting job losses. He came to a similar conclusion in his official report on the closings in twenties had. About 750. But the 2800. Dealers targeted. One reinstatement. In arbitration. Dialer said this week it's again expanding its -- to -- service. Which provides Smart -- for people to rent by the hour. Just the latest example auto makers getting deeper and deeper into car sharing. But is the industry borrowing trouble here's Automotive News executive editor Edward Latham. New. Car sales are getting stronger. But there's an emerging social disease especially among young people. That threatens to infect the long term trend line it's called car sharing and it's despicable. For example. Zip car allows people -- rent cars for short trips in and around some urban areas including right here in the motor city imagine. It's similar to the Amsterdam bicycle model. If here in Amsterdam you need to write you grab a bite out of a bike rack when you're done you leave it for somebody else to use. Economists call it consuming the utility. But it reminds me of the way some people dated back in the sixties. Now even star allows its subscribers. To hook up and share cars and BMW financial services is testing short term -- Look I know the economy is a factor. Half the people under age 25 don't have jobs they can't afford new cars but they still have needs. Hopefully when the economy finally does recover younger Americans will be ready to settle down with cars of their own. I'm Edward -- and that's how IC. Thanks dead and don't forget to tune in the first shift with Jennifer -- first thing Monday morning. Have a great weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday afternoon.

During a recent televised interview, Vice President Dick Cheney opined that whether or not Iraq's weapons of mass destruction posed an imminent threat to our national security was immaterial; it was the speculation that at some future time Saddam Hussein may have the capability of becoming a threat that was sufficient justification for going to war.
Legal scholars generally agree that a war based on speculation about what may or may not be a future threat is an aggressive, "preventative" war, a supreme crime in international law. Critics of "preventative" wars, including Dwight Eisenhower, have argued that accepting "preventative" wars would reduce the world to "the law of the jungle."

The Twin City Catholic Educational System and Fox Valley Lutheran High School will apply to accept voucher students for the 2014-15 school year.
After the state budget was adopted last year, the DPI announced a short time line for private and parochial schools to submit applications to participate in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program. Officials at TCCES and FVL said that didn't give them enough time to consider the move or assemble application documents.
Pat Batey, president of the Neenah-Menasha based TCCES system, said a lack of details about the process also contributed to the ...

In America the public school classroom has always been thought of as the great equalizer. It was the public school classroom that gave hope to the American Dream, if we work hard and be responsible we could become whatever we wanted to become. Well, despite the fact that our ancestors fought and won the battle for all people to have access to equal education (remember the Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas Supreme Court decision of 1954), the movers and shakers of the York County Community Foundation Advocacy Council are preparing to condemn the students of this city to an archaic system of separate but supposedly equal education for generations to come.
During this, the 60th year anniversary of the historic Supreme Court case which outlawed separate but equal segregated schools, urban districts in this community and throughout Pennsylvania are experiencing a severe form of segregation even more intense than that experienced in 1954. A recent study by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) titled "Choice Without Equity: Charter School Segregation and the Need for Civil Rights Standards," says, "The charter school movement has been a major political success, but it has been a civil rights failure. As the country continues moving steadily toward greater segregation and inequality of education for students of color in schools with lower achievement and graduation rates, the rapid growth of charter schools has been expanding a sector that is even more segregated than the public schools.
When it comes to education, Pennsylvania is the seventh most segregated state in the nation, according to the UCLA study. The Pennsylvania Department of Education has abdicated its responsibility to provide an adequate, effective education for all of its students. York city is only one of many urban districts across this state that are suffering from some form of dysfunction. But instead of analyzing and adjusting what appears to be systemic shortcomings, the board of education relinquishes its responsibility to predatory charter interest. Urban students need specific programs or resources to help remove the barriers to educational excellence and to obtain a sound basic education, and this state is not providing them.
There are 16 school districts in York County. Fifteen of these are the districts where the very same movers and shakers who want to condemn our children to experimental education, send their children. The only district being dissolved, fragmented and balkanized is the city district which is comprised of the poorest, most disenfranchised families. I wonder if there would be this rush to charters if the children of those decision makers were required to attend them.
I attended the recent public presentation by charter school providers and was absolutely appalled by several factors.
One, the almost total absence of city parents. Of the 129 or so persons I counted at the meeting, there were about 10 parents of city students.
Two, the complete lack of any interaction or engagement by those of us in attendance, with the presenters. Those who had questions were asked to submit them by email and they would be forwarded to the various providers. An absolutely abysmal process. I understand there were over 300 questions submitted, but the real question is whether the public will ever get the opportunity to share in the questions or answers.
Three, the presentations themselves were pitiful. The presenters dutifully read a litany of proposed solutions to the problems of educating urban students. Much of what they read was a rehash of the very same programs and strategies that have been unsuccessful in addressing the issue of educating minority students not only in York but on a nationwide basis. The only caveat is they would often preface their comments with the words proven or scientifically successful. Proven or scientifically successful at what — lining their pockets with profits skimmed from the public purse, as one provider has done already here in York.
In fact, all we need to do is examine our experiences with previous charter providers here in York, none of which have been successful, to gauge the potential success of more charters. One recently closed charter school, New Hope, not only provided a subpar education to our students, but the management, according to court documents, engaged in serious incidents of financial, ethical and conflict of interest violations. Two others, Lincoln and Helen Thackston, have provided an educational experience that is marginally better than New Hope, but has performed no better than the public school, still while siphoning off public dollars to line the pockets of corporate owners.
Traditional schools, charter schools, magnet schools and e-learning — all have a place in the educational framework so long as they are preparing students for the hyper-competitive, technological and knowledge-driven global economy. At the charter school presentation meeting I heard no mention of providing our students with pragmatic, technologically aligned programs designed to help them interface with the rapidly changing environment we live in. A practical education that empowers them with the ability to understand the problems we face in our community, how we got here and how to develop real-world solutions.
A lousy school — one that is not educating our children — is a lousy school and should not be able to operate, regardless of whether it is a traditional or charter. We should stop supporting traditional schools failing our children, just as we must admit that simply calling a school a "charter" does not give it magical powers. We need to stop using our schools and students to make ideological points and instead use them to prepare our children for their future.
The issue with the current charter school initiative is that I believe the leaders of this effort are themselves complicit in the building and maintenance of the societal inequities that lead to the root causes of our educational dilemma — concentrated poverty. Yet instead of doing the hard work necessary to develop a comprehensive plan that addresses the root causes, they take the expeditious route of providing a Band-Aid for the symptoms.
Again I say just look at the lack of diversity in the makeup of the staff of most of the social service agencies which exist to service the needs of this community. The lack of diversity and disparity in hiring is just one of the drivers of this concentrated poverty and the continued inability of the members of this city to achieve the uplift necessary to rise above the mediocre lifestyle they are living.
If these leaders would place the same energy and resources they expend on developing comprehensive economic development plans which benefit the few of them, into developing a viable educationally empowering plan for city kids, this city might escape the kind of social disorder that is currently plaguing the city of Ferguson, Mo. Because have no doubt, the situation in Ferguson did not happen overnight and the continuing unrest is a testament that anger, frustration and hopelessness has been festering in that community as in this community for a long, long time. In a recent interview to Democracy[J1] Now program, Art McCoy, the first African-American superintendent of the Ferguson-Florissant School District, highlighted the suffocating institutional racism that exists as part of the fabric of the Ferguson community. All it takes is a spark to ignite the tinderbox of emotional time bombs that exist in the neighborhoods of this community.
In a recent YDR online poll, more than 64 percent of the respondents say city schools should not be turned over to charters. There needs to be sufficient opportunity for serious input on the educational process by the everyday citizens of this community instead of letting those who don't live in this community control the process. City residents are fed up with the paternalistic attitude of those in control who want to always tell us what is good for us, but yet always come up short. Slow this process down. Let's build a process where anyone who wants to can be a part of the construct of our children's future, not just a hand-picked committee given their marching orders to enact regardless of the impact on our children.

This fall I got wrapped up in confusion due to changing the way we homeschool to majorly focus on doing learning experiences outside the home. Each kid had four full days of being out of the house. The fifth day was a commute day for each kid while their sibling was in a paid class for the sibling's age range. So really we all had five days a week outside the house. Most of the academics at home was not lessons taught by me but me overseeing homework assignments for the outside classes.
This fall I became fearful of my abilitiy to homeschool the high school years for my older son. I started freaking out about college admissions. One of the challenges is that for his intended major the prep needs to begin in eighth grade so I am not wrong to start thinking about that now.
At the MIT lecture I was encouraged (even though the speaker kept saying a disclaimer that he was not speaking on behalf of MIT or the MIT admissions office) that perhaps the best thing about college for students is to find a good fit. I have heard that before, especially from parents who seem to not be in a race to get their kids into the top name colleges. However hearing it at MIT really helped me see the point.
What I'm doing is raising kids, I'm parenting kids and that's my primary role. My secondary role is homeschooling. Something happened while I listened to that lecture to help me step back and see the big picture. I really needed that reminder to think about kids as people not just thinking of kids as students with an aim to get into a good college.
So far my kids are turning out well. I think they are good kids with unique personalities and good hearts. In the long run that is what is important. I want them to find a college that is a good fit and that they will thrive at both academically and socially. I do not want them at a school where they will struggle and fail. I don't want them in a college that they will feel fulfilled academically but lonely socially.
As for homeschooling we have always custom tailored our "home school", taking full freedom of choice to sculpt something interesting and good. Too much outsourcing of classes this fall made me realize that I was giving away the very freedoms that drew us to homeschooling in the first place. I am looking for more of a balance now, some outsourced teaching but mostly home studies or even some studies done via Internet courses.
I realized also that abundance has a cost. When time seems infinite I seem to become more laid back (if not lazy) and I don't make the best use of our time; it feels like we have forever to get to do that thing or to teach that subject or skill. Then all of a sudden I realize, "My kid probably should already know that thing but he doesn't." When money is flowing it is easy to pay someone else to do something for my kids instead of doing it myself. It is easier to have someone else do the work then to sit back and complain if it is not as good as I'd hoped. This fall I also had a luxurious thought that I could send my son to private high school if homeschooling was not working out (like so many parents in my area do as they can afford to).
Now that the budget is tighter due to my husband's company downsizing I've shifted into another mode, to the "make do" mode. Now I am looking at the materials we own at home and saying "I can and will teach this" instead of "what co-op class can be created to have someone else teach that skill to my child". Now that the thought that I may have to return to work is in my mind I'm asking why I didn't make better use of my time with my kids when I had them all to myself? Now we couldn't use private high school if we wanted to. If my kids go to school it will have to be public school. Feeling like we have less options this month compared to last month is not a good feeling.
I'm in a good state of mind, feeling grateful for the time I have with my kids. I am happy to think of the new found time we have now that some of our outside activities have ended. More will end next week and then we'll have a couple of weeks without any appointments at all (but we'll be busy prepping and celebrating Christmas). I will nail down some homeschool lesson plans in that time so we can start off January working hard here at home with a firm plan in hand as to how we'll spend our time (so we don't go into lazy mode).
Despite the uncertainty of the income situation and not knowing if we'll move and be thrust into a new community, I'm feeling content and satisfied. I know I have done a good job parenting my kids so far and no matter where or how they are educated for the rest of their primary and secondary education and whatever winds up happening with college, they will be good people and we have an emotionally healthy family life. That's what really matters to me.

A convicted childsexoffenderis arrested while working at the Orange County Fair, a violation of his probation, which prohibits him from working close to children and frozen bananas. The carny community that works the fair—including slack-jawed yokels, toothless rednecks and other like-half-minded dentally affected persons—express outrage and fear, concerned that the arrest of Steven Henry Torres of Anaheim will ruin the positive image carnies enjoy. As one explained: "Show us your tits!" Carnies believe that their like have at times been unfairly painted as degenerate and ignorant and greasy and liars and scary and it's true you won't find a lot of Harvard law degrees among them, though you will find your share of MBAs and philosophy majors: "Whether you're tall enough for the ride isn't the issue as much as is the question of your free will being an absolute. I mean, even Aquinas recognized this in ExibeoNosTuiChichis(Show Us Your Tits)." A fair official said Torres was hired by a subcontractor that didn't understand the fair's hiring practices, but now the fair and subcontractor are "in sync." How much mind melding does it take to understand that an employer that deals with the public would like to steer clear of sex offenders? Must one also be explicit that they prefer to stay away from radiationcloudmonstersand the Irish? The subcontractor's first clue that something was wrong was the guy's name. Nothing good ever came of anyone with three names: John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Pol Harvey Pot, Tom Harvey Cruise.

TheOrangeCountyRegisterapologizes for a mistake it made in a story about state Assemblyman Tom Umberg, in which it suggested that Umberg had quit the Army Reserve because an extramarital affairof his had come to light. In fact, Umberg had set in motion his retirement before admitting to the affair. Honest mistake. Happens to everyone; happens to me a couple of times each issue. I'm the guy who once wrote the Lakers would never win a championship with ShaquilleO'Nealand once claimed that Pol Pot's middle name was Harvey—though that's so far in the past it's almost not worth mentioning. Anyway, it's not the mistake that's galling, it's that the Registerattempts to make it the reader'sfaultfor noticing. "Because of a reporting error, a July 9 article in the Registercould have been read as reporting that Umberg's retirement, which took effect June 30, came after he admitted to the affair." Really, you think it couldhave? Couldthat be because the July 9 article's secondary headline—or "deck"—read "The assemblyman resigned just after admitting affair." Or couldit be that the story's first line read: "Tom Umberg, a Democrat representing central Orange County in the Assembly, resigned as a colonel from the Army Reserve days after he admitted to an extramarital affair." Or couldit have been that the phrases "resigned as a colonel from the Army Reserve" and "extramarital affair" were separated by just five words, those five words being "after he admitted to an . . ."? Interestingly, the Registerclaimed the Army looks down on extramarital affairs—directly contradicting every episode of M*A*S*Hever—and said that Umberg's affair could have led to his loss of security clearance. It goes on to say the Army's Personnel Security manual lists sexual misconduct as "Adultery that is recent, frequent and likely to continue and has an adverse effect on good order or discipline." Uh, think a guy wrote that? Let's see, the adultery has to be "recent," has to be "frequent," andhas to be "likely to continue." Think Ikescribbled that down while he was diddling that British chick? Man, I haven't heard more sexual loopholes since my friends insisted that oral sex is not cheating, nor is having sex with someone other than your wife outside your area code. Or was it ZIP code? The point is I need to get new friends.

Took my kids to the Orange County Fair because I live for danger. We went to the Pacific Amphitheater to see X. Now, I don't know if you have kids, and I would never tell anyone to have kids, but I would definitely recommend doing what the celebrities do and lease a couple from Thailand, if only for the singular joy of standing shoulder to shoulder with them and singing the chorus from "WhiteGirl."Of course, the little bastards ruin the mood by making fun of the way you hold—correctly, I might add—the last word ("But I'm living with a white guurrrrrl"), but that may have just been the contact hightalking.

Disneyland's 50th anniversary celebration, which feels like it's been going on for 50 years, is officially marked at the park today by such luminaries as Michael Eisner, Walt Disney's daughter and Art Linkletter, who was present at the original opening, and I'm referring to the original opening of the Earth. Art Linkletter is still alive? Dude was old when I was a kid, and when I was a kid America still made steel. Anyway, besides Linkletter there are many others who were there opening day. Actually, they hadn't left, just got stuck in a really slow line for the Matterhorn.

It's been over three month since solar collector were installed. I decided to build controller by myself. And it turned out that it stayed in prototype stage. So I put it in to enclosure and left it like is. So far it works fine – water is hot everyday, so I have nothing more to expect. I have not many pictures of build, but I think will share what I have.
I you have followed forum thread you probably are familiar what system I was building. As I mentioned the solar collector is cheap made in China and is pressureless. Normally they come with special controller which takes care of refilling tank, ensuring protection from water freezing and other special scheduled routines. Pressureless collector usually is first filled with water which heats and then it is used (mixed with cold). Initial test shows that when collector is in direct sun it boils what leads to calcification of heater elements. Over all lifetime reduces and so efficiency. Continue reading

Do You Have a Hammock?
by Home
Like us on Facebook
You needn't have sand below your feet or be rocking about on a sailing ship to enjoy a springtime siesta on a hammock. The rope mesh makes for a comfy lounging spot that'll give your garden or porch a new function. Hammocks range in price vastly, from about $30 to over $200. So, claiming one for yourself doesn't have to strain your budget. If you haven't already, I highly recommend penciling some hammock time into your Spring schedule.

I hope you don't see this as spam, but I am the owner of Trek Light Gear and we make a super comfortable silk nylon hammock that is perfect for setting up indoors, in the backyard or taking it anywhere at all with you. It only weighs a pound and packs down to a tiny pouch! If you love hammocks (as many people have confessed in the comments), you'll never think of them the same way once you realize you can take one anywhere with you and set it up in seconds without even tying a knot. Again, I'm not trying to spam up the comments but I saw this post and figured our hammocks might be just what you're all looking for. Trek Lightly, Seth Haber www.treklightgear.com
