Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 digital camera
A thin and quick camera with an advanced image processor
- Good low light shooting with new image sensor
- Bad image noise at high ISO settings
Bottom Line
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is a super-slim camera that packs in a competent image sensor and takes reasonable photos. It's not particularly fast and its high ISO settings introduce significant noise, but it might be a decent camera to take out for a night on the town.
Price$ 599.00 (AUD)
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is a super-slim, 10.2-megapixel 'fashion' camera with the company's latest Exmor-R image sensor, which offers improved performance in dim lighting. It can comfortably fit into a jacket or jeans pocket and it captures good low-light photographs — making it a compelling choice for anyone keen on a big night out.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is seriously thin. At 14.1mm (excluding the sliding front cover, which acts as a power switch and lens cap), it's a similar thickness to an Apple iPhone 3GS. It's a far cry from the recently reviewed Canon PowerShot G10, which you can only fit in your pocket if you're rocking some mid-'90s fashion. We tested the blue model, but the camera is also available in two shades of grey and a sizzling hot pink. The only design feature we don't like is the large protruding lug for attaching the hand-strap — it's far too bulky and its purpose could have been achieved with a smaller hole.
The Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is relatively easy to use if you've played with a Sony camera before; it has the same tab-based menu system as the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1. The DSC-TX1 differs to the DSC-WX1 in that its 3in widescreen LCD uses a touch-screen menu, without any controls on the rear panel. The touch menu is easy to navigate, but we would have liked the on-screen buttons to be slightly larger and incorporate some feedback — for the ham-fisted among us it can be occasionally difficult to scroll through options. The top of the camera still has a two-stage shutter button, a power switch and a zoom rocker, with the camera's playback button nestled on the top bezel.
The 4x zoom lens is built into the body of the camera, and it's not as versatile as we were hoping it would be. Whereas the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 has an f/2.5 lens, the Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is only 35mm on the wide end with a maximum aperture of f/3.5. Given the camera's supposed ability in dim lighting — courtesy of the backlit Exmor-R sensor — we were expecting a much faster lens for capturing more light. The images it captures are reasonable though, with only a little barrel distortion and slight softness at the maximum zoom level. Colours were accurate, with a slight tendency to undersaturate scenes. The camera has a range of scene modes for specialised shooting, and limited post-processing adjustments for editing your photos.
The camera starts up quickly; it's ready to shoot in around a second. In low light, the camera's autofocus struggled occasionally, requiring a few seconds to get an accurate lock with the inbuilt autofocus illuminator. Capture speeds were consistently fast in good lighting conditions, with little perceivable shutter lag.
The 10.2-megapixel sensor of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 captures images that are good enough for printing at A3 size or smaller. At ISO 125 and 200, images are clean with a good amount of visible detail. Anything above ISO 400 will display grain when printing, with ISO 3200 being unusable for complex images.
At ISO 125 the DSC-TX1 has good definition between contrasting areas.
At the maximum ISO setting (3200) images lose definition and significant interpolation noise is introduced.
Like the Cyber-shot DSC-WX1, the DSC-TX1 has a range of fast-shooting modes. It can capture 10 frames in a single second, although it takes a few seconds to save them and clear the buffer. This is great for a kid's sporting game where you want to capture the perfect moment. The Hand-held Twilight mode captures several frames consecutively and stitches them together — it's a good choice if you're taking pictures of buildings or still objects in dim lighting, but any motion will cause the image to blur, so you'll want to use a tripod. The nifty Sweep Panorama mode is also implemented, allowing seamless panoramas to be captured without the use of a computer.
The DSC-TX1's Sweep Panorama can capture images at a 7152x1080 resolution.
Taken with normal settings, this image was exposed for 1.3 seconds, causing motion blur from shaking hands.
The Hand-held Twilight mode took eight shots at 1/8sec and combined them for a blur-free picture in dim lighting.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is a suitable purchase if you want a camera that will fit comfortably in your pocket. It's not a great all-round performer, but for party and candid shots it's a good choice.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

For £17.50 you get 15 Easter eggs, plus a bag and a tube of mini eggs. This has to be the cheapest way to organise and Easter egg hunt.

Would you expect an extra thick Easter egg to be 2mm in places this one was. Around the edge it was just over 1mm. The chocolate was good though and the experience worth paying extra for.
Dermaquette Giant Easte...
If you're lucky enough to live in London then you've just got to try this one from Marc Demarquette as it's a giant milk chocolate egg and has some utterly wonderful sea salt and strawberry caramel seashells.

This has to be one of the best dark chocolate Easter eggs I've reviewed this year, what's more it's eco-friendly, tasty, organic, gluten free and suitable for vegans! Also it's great value for money.

I've been asking my mate to burn in WAV for two years. Found out recently that he wasn't but i'm still not sure what he's ripping and burning in. So I was previously happily importing when they worked and storing them when they didn't, thinking I was getting a WAV not converting to WAV from something worse. Result painful ears and only a low volume achievable. Then TSHTF and 99% of his rips don't wrk for me but do at his end. I want WAV in and WAV out at the highest rate with no compression if that makes sense. I've asked him to use free burning software that everyone gets pre-installed on PCs instead of WMP or itunes that way he can just click 'copy CD' and it'll work fine. But pulling teeth seems easier. These less than 1411.2 Kbps files are killing my ears on my ipod/mp3 players.
Sorry matey if you are reading this but it's true. I am trying to build a compression free library that's why I have 21TBs of storage. One CD ripped well is worth 20 poorly done. I do it, takes a bit longer but it's not like you can't do ther stuff while it's ripping. You're not still doing low bitrate wma are you?

The Browns couldn't win without Joe Haden. They may have to try again.
The Browns couldn't win without Joe Haden. They may have to try again.
Haden missed practice on Thursday with an oblique injury, and Cleveland may be missing its top cornerback — and arguably its best defensive player — on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
Haden, who was suspended four games by the NFL earlier this season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, got hurt during a drill in Wednesday's practice. He stayed on the field and was listed as "limited" on the Browns' injury report, but he did not participate at all on Thursday and his status for this week's game remains uncertain.
It's another setback for Cleveland's defense, which has been ravaged by injuries all season. Starting tackle Ahtyba Rubin is expected to return this week after missing three games with a calf injury, but if Haden can't play, the Browns will again be forced to adjust.
"When anyone's down, especially a starter, it hurts," safety T.J. Ward said. "Not having Joe will hurt us, but the next guy just has to step up. That's how it's been all year. We haven't had our complete defense on the field at any point. It just seems like everyone's starting to get back and Joe, I won't say he went down, but he hasn't been practicing. Hopefully we can have him this weekend."
Haden would likely be responsible for covering Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, who has 45 catches for 590 yards and three touchdowns.
While Haden served his suspension for testing positive for the stimulant Adderall, the Browns went 0-4. They're 2-2 since he returned and Haden's presence has not only bolstered Cleveland's secondary, but he has forced opposing teams to game plan differently.
Cleveland's secondary is already missing cornerback Dimitri Patterson, who has been sidelined the past four games with a severe ankle injury and has not yet been cleared to practice.
It's just been that kind of season for the Browns, who have lost starting linebackers Chris Gocong and Scott Fujita to season-ending injuries and played the first eight games without massive defensive tackle Phil Taylor, who was sidelined after tearing a chest muscle while lifting weights during the offseason.
"It would be nice to see everybody out there at the same time," safety Usama Young said. "It's one of those things with football, you've always got to work through, though. You're going to have guys go down and if you're going to be a good football team, you've got to have guys step in and play at a high level. Hopefully, guys are back, but you can't even dwell on it. If you're going to be good, you've got to look past it and get the next guy in line."
Page 2 of 2 - Buster Skrine would take Haden's starting spot and rookie Trevin Wade will likely get playing time at nickel back if Haden can't go.
Cornerback Sheldon Brown said the Browns can't worry about missing one player.
"We need everybody on Sunday," he said. "If the quarterback is running backward, then it really doesn't matter who's in the backend. Bottom line is we need every man."
The Browns simply weren't the same when Haden wasn't in the lineup. Quarterbacks didn't have to worry about throwing to his side of the field, and several of Cleveland's young defensive backs were exposed.
Haden was missed — badly — and his absence showed his value to the Browns.
"I didn't gain an appreciation for him because I know how talented he is," Young said. "I've been watching him since his first year and now playing alongside him, you see how talented he is. In this game, when guys go down, you've got to have guys that are going to step up and play at a high level. We look forward to that on defense. We've got some young boys that are hungry, ready to play. Hopefully (Haden) will play, but we don't know yet."
NOTES: Browns rookie WR Josh Gordon is appealing a $20,000 fine for a block the NFL deemed as a blindside hit on Ravens safety Ed Reed on Nov. 4. Gordon was flagged for a 15-yard penalty. "They told me it wasn't a helmet-to-helmet hit," Gordon said. "It was just that he wasn't looking. He never looked my way at all. We were confused about it for a while and we still are because that's my blocking responsibility, and if I wouldn't have done it, our runner would have gotten tackled for a loss. If you don't make a play, Coach is going to look at you like, 'What's going on?"' ... Special teamer Ray Ventrone was limited in practice with what the Browns listed as a "hand/calf" injury. Ventrone missed one game earlier this season with a broken thumb that required surgery.

A Tale of Resistance under Saddam: Punished and Shamed for Following His Conscience, a Young Iraqi Finds Hope in Human Rights Group
Loney, James, National Catholic Reporter
Sa'ad Kadhin Al Saady sits at a beat-up desk on a broken-down chair in the breezy office of the National Association for the Defence of Human Rights. In one hand he has a cigarette, in the other a pen that he twirls in his fingers.
Sa'ad has had a difficult life. You can see it in the creases of his face, the set of his jaw.
Like all able-bodied, working-class young men, Sa'ad was forced into the Iraqi military and, like most soldiers, served reluctantly. On May 13, 1994, he made a rare and momentous decision. At the age of 19, on his own, without the support of anyone, Sa'ad refused a direct order to join an army patrol "to fight the people of Kurdistan."
"When they asked me why, I told them those people are Iraqi people, and they are Muslims. If I kill them, God will be angry with me. I do not want to kill anyone. Because of this, I was accused of being a traitor and sent to jail."
Sa'ad turns his head to show me his right ear. The round of his ear is cut flat on a downward angle, as if it had been sliced with pruning shears. It is a punishment inflicted by Saddam Hussein's security forces on more than 3,600 war resisters. For some their right ear was clipped, for others their left. Some had their whole ear removed. Some lost the end of their nose or a piece of their tongue or had a minus sign tattooed on their forehead. "It was just whatever they decided to do," Sa'ad says.
Sa'ad is the president of the Committee for the People Who Refused Wars. "Only the National Association for the Defence of Human Rights has this committee," Sa'ad says. The association is one of countless Iraqi human rights organizations that sprang up after the demise of the Saddam regime. In concert with other groups, they occupied a looted government building and re-christened it the Peace, Solidarity and Friendship Building.
It has no doors, no electricity, no running water and only a handful of windows. Voices echo harshly in the building's office. It is outfitted with salvaged office furniture; grubby plastic lawn chairs are passed from room to room as needed. Volunteer lawyers and activists work from scrap paper.
The Committee for the People Who Refused Wars wants three things: financial compensation, restorative surgical operations and, most of all, the repeal of Resolution 115, an astonishingly punitive decree issued by Saddam Hussein on Aug. 25, 1994. (Sa'ad knows the exact date.) Still on the books, Resolution 115 effectively stripped war resisters of their citizenship. They were shut out of the educational system, forbidden government employment and prohibited from buying property or owning a car. In an Iraq starved by sanctions, the families of resisters had their food ration cards pulled, and many were forced from their homes to live in tents on the edge of the desert.
"Under the old regime, in all of our official identification papers it said, 'He has his ear cut off according to Resolution 115.' We are considered as people from the third class. We were labeled and allowed to be punished at any time."
I have to coax Sa'ad to tell his own story. He prefers to talk about the situation of all 3,600 men. "They sent me to the prison of the 15th Division to investigate me. They tortured me too much. They handcuffed me and beat me with sticks."
He points to a three-inch scar on his right jawbone. "This is where they beat me with the butt of a pistol." He stands and pulls up his shirt to show me dozens of long white scars on his back. "They gave us lashes with a cable until they cut the meat." Sa'ad holds out his hands. His fingertips are swollen, bulbous, his fingernails unnaturally curved. "They poured water on me and then put these electrical things on my fingers. This is what it did.
"They hoisted us into the air on a hook for one or two hours with our hands tied behind our backs. They call it 'the scorpion.'
"This treatment lasted for three months. …

Health Tips
Combine whey protein with resistance exercise for improved body composition
Sometimes, just working out alone is not enough to get you where you want to be in terms of muscle growth. You may be burning the calories, but you also need to make sure that your muscles are growing properly in order to see results – and this often requires the help of protein. Many fitness fanatics are turning to whey protein to take their workouts to the next level.
The benefits of whey protein
Whey protein, a high quality dairy protein, contains all of the amino acids that the body needs for muscle protein synthesis – the process by which individual cells construct proteins. Amino acids are known to stimulate protein synthesis and result in a positive net muscle protein balance. A study was done where 36 healthy and fit males were randomly placed into one of three groups: Whey protein and creatine, whey protein, and carbohydrate placebo during six weeks of resistance training. Those who received the whey protein, with or without the creatine, saw greater increases in muscle mass than those who only took the carbohydrate placebo.
Overall, evidence has suggested that whey protein, when combined with resistance exercise, can improve body composition. Your workout isn't finished until you pair it with a delicious vanilla or chocolate shake containing whey protein. Naturade 100% Whey protein powder supplies all of the essential amino acids and works to boost performance and energy. The leucine, isoleucine and valine in this protein meal are vital for tissue growth.
When trying to build muscle, it's important to combine your consumption of whey protein with healthy resistance training. Here are some strength training moves to pair with your whey protein to achieve the best results:
One-arm pull down
This exercise works both your back and biceps. Find a medium to heavy resistance tubing equipped with a handle on the end. Attach the end of the tubing to a door hinge above your head, stand in a semi-lunge position and pull the handle of the tubing straight down with one arm; pause and slowly return to a standing position. Complete about 12 to 15 repetitions on each side.
Squat jumps
Find a comfortable surface, like a rubber mat or grass field, and stand with your feet hip-width apart. While keeping your back straight and looking straight ahead, lower yourself toward the ground until you find your heels lifting off the floor. Jump up quickly, fully extending your legs, and land softly on the ground. During this exercise that works your legs, core and butt, making sure to keep those abs contracted for the best results. Do about 10 to 15 reps.
For this power exercise, you'll need an inflatable fitness ball. Your core, chest, shoulders and abs will be getting the best workout from this movement. What you need to do is kneel in front of the ball and roll out over top of it, walking your hands out until you're in a push-up position. Be sure to keep your body flat and your abs engaged. Proceed by lifting your hips up to the ceiling, rolling your feet onto the top of the ball. Your legs must be kept straight. Do 10 to 15 reps.
Soy protein may assist with weight loss
Amid all of the things we hear about weight loss, it's hard to determine what actually works and what's better left ignored. Some say a mixture of cardiovascular exercise and strength training, while other say that weight loss starts in the kitchen. Others choose the diet route to shed the pounds, which can sometimes leave you with results that are subpar. Experts are now finding that there is something that actually may make a difference in creating a slimmer waist: Soy protein.
What is soy protein?
Soy protein is derived from soybeans and is considered a complete protein which contains all the essential amino acids the body needs. Soy is packed with both arginine and glutamine. Arginine helps promote muscle growth while glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. Sometimes extreme stress and intense exercise like marathons can deplete the body's levels of glutamine – stored in muscles. This amino acid can help your immune system function and appears to be necessary for normal brain function and digestion.
Soy and weight loss
According to a new University of Illinois study, as intake of soy increases, weight tends to decrease. The study found that soy had a significant impact on the body by boosting metabolism. Researchers were surprised to find that soy did have an effect on regulatory hormones and their receptors that signal to the brain that the body is full, but the soy didn't work by reducing food intake.
The effects of soy protein on weight loss were also studied on obese subjects that were given a soy protein-based low calorie meal replacement beverage instead of a milk-based equivalent. Researchers found that a low calorie diet with soy protein-based foods vs. a diet with animal protein-based foods was more effective when it came to weight loss, lowering blood lipids and keeping the weight off.
How to get soy protein
You can easily incorporate soy protein powder into your daily diet through a meal replacement powder. If you have a sweet tooth, start your morning off with a vanilla or chocolate shake using Naturade Total Soy. This is a quick solution to help you reach your weight loss goals without compromising taste or nutrition. With 13 grams of soy protein and 24 vitamins and minerals, this delicious snack may help you on your way to weight loss.
However, there are more ways to get your soy protein than through a sweet shake. Protein powders can be added to almost any meal to give it a boost. Bake a few scoops into your favorite morning muffin or oatmeal. For lunch, whip up a bowl of protein-packed mashed potatoes and for dinner, mix some protein powder into your ground beef for a beastly burger. Once dessert rolls around, consider delicious options like vanilla protein cheesecake, rice krispie treats or a vanilla protein cake.
Other benefits of soy protein
According to the Journal of Perinatal Education, soy protein also offers many other ingredients that impact heart health. The journal reported that consumption of soy protein has been found to reduce serum concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins and triglycerides. Those with elevated cholesterol seem to receive the greatest benefit.
Vegetarians and vegans can also benefit from soy because it gives them an alternative way to obtain essential vitamins without eating any animal products or byproducts.
How to make the best protein smoothie you'll ever taste
Smoothies full of fruits, veggies and protein powder can pack a punch and provide your body with essential vitamins, nutrients and protein that you may not be getting in your daily diet. Smoothies can even serve as a meal replacement that doesn't skimp on taste and still fills you up so you can reach your weight loss goals. Start off your day with a smoothie in the morning, or use it as a snack in the middle of the day. Either way, if you're using the right ingredients, you'll never get bored with the taste and you certainly won't get bored with the results! Here's how to make a delicious tasting smoothie:
Add fruit
Not only does fruit equip the body with antioxidants, it keeps the immune system healthy and adds extraordinary flavor to your smoothie. Choose at least two of your favorite fruits, like bananas, berries, pears, apples, watermelon, peaches, kiwis or pineapple. They can be fresh or frozen – either way, you'll be getting the nutrients and a great taste. If you want to make your smoothie even more healthy, opt to add in some leafy greens (we promise you won't taste them) like kale, spinach or arugula.
Give it a boost of protein
Protein powders are a great way to promote muscle growth and can even assist in weight loss. Naturade Total Soy comes in both chocolate and vanilla flavors, and is low on sugar and calories but high on dietary fiber and taste! Soy protein may even help to lower cholesterol and promote heart health. Other protein boosters that can be used to make a delicious smoothie include:
Thicken it up
One of the key elements of a great-tasting smoothie is consistency. You don't want it to be too watered down, but make it too thick and it won't taste much like a smoothie anymore. Add some extra ingredients can help get it to that perfect consistency while still adding more nutrients. If you need to thicken it up, add some Greek yogurt for that creamy texture and a boost of probiotics. If it needs to be thinned out a bit, pop in a few ice cubes for a chilled treat.
Provide a touch of flavor
For the final finishing touch, add a bit of flavor to your meal or snack. They can often be enhanced by adding a bit of honey, maple syrup, dates, vanilla extract, mint or cinnamon. These add a a burst of flavor to your smoothie without giving you all those unneeded extra calories. Cinnamon is also especially good for your health, as it lowers cholesterol, reduces blood sugar levels and boosts cognitive function and memory, according to Organic Authority.
Now all that's left to do is enjoy!
Six tasty ways to incorporate protein powder into your diet
Many people are looking to fit more protein into their diet, whether it's to bulk up, build lean muscle or to simply gain a bit of weight. The most common way of consuming that protein powder is through a meal replacement shake. While these are often delicious and certainly do the trick, this powder is very versatile and can be used in a number of your favorite recipes for breakfast or dinner. Livestrong suggested some great recipes you can use to help you get the protein you need at any time of day.
Scrambled eggs
Eggs are already filled with protein, but adding some protein powder can help give them even more of a punch. Using six eggs, 1/4 cup of 2 percent milk and a half scoop of your favorite protein powder like Naturade VEG – Natural or Naturade 100% Whey, you can whip up a breakfast of champions. Top your eggs off with salt and pepper or a bit of cheese for extra flavor and enjoy!
If you're more of a pancake person when it comes to breakfast, you're in luck. Adding protein to your favorite morning meal is super easy. All you have to do is combine one scoop of the protein powder of your choice with water until it matches the consistency of your pancake batter. Combine and cook one to two minutes on each side. It doesn't get easier than that.
Mashed potatoes
Enjoy a large bowl of fluffy mashed potatoes while getting your protein fix at the same time. Place one pound of red skinned potatoes in a pot, cover with water and boil for 15 minutes. Drain the water and add 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk and one scoop flavorless or vanilla protein powder and mix thoroughly. If you like sour cream on your potatoes, swap it out for Greek yogurt to significantly cut your calorie count (and add protein!) while still providing that cool and creamy taste.
Cinnamon apples
Filling up on whole fruits is a great way to keep you full in between meals and provides you with lots of nutrients your body needs. But we often don't reach for an apple when we need to fill up on protein. Now, you can! Slice your favorite apples up and place them into a large, sealable plastic bag with one tablespoon of cinnamon and one scoop of Naturade Total Soy French Vanilla. Shake all the ingredients up, place into a bowl and enjoy!
Yes, one of America's favorite foods, the burger, can easily have protein powder added to it. Mix 4 ounces of ground beef with one-fourth of a scoop of flavorless or vanilla protein powder and form into patties. Cook for four to five minutes on each side and you have some delicious burgers ready to go! For an even healthier creation, add some low-fat cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and onions.
Rice Krispies
Who doesn't love rice krispies? Now you can enjoy them even more knowing that they're giving your body the nutrients it needs to recover from a workout. Preheat your oven to 325 F and mix 1 and 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons honey, two tablespoons reduced fat butter, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and two scoops Naturade Total Soy French Vanilla into a large bowl. Pour into the pan and let it bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Who knew gaining muscle could be so tasty?
Benefits of protein during pregnancy and the best ways to get it
Being pregnant, there are a lot of things to think about when it comes to keeping both your body and the baby healthy. Along with prenatal vitamins, regular exercise, adequate sleep and maintaining a balanced diet, ensuring that you eat the right amount of protein is vitally important. Among all of the nutritional advice being tossed your way, it can be easy to forget about protein and its role in developing your child.
Vital to growth
Not only does protein help you to grow, it is essential for the growth of your baby as well. According to What To Expect, at 37 weeks, your baby's brain is in need of materials that are going to help it grow and develop. Protein is what's going to build the brain and help it grow to be healthy and fully functional. Should you not get the recommended amount of protein in your diet, the baby will begin to break down its own tissues in order to get building blocks, preventing the both of you from staying healthy.
Produces iron
Natural Baby Pros said that a woman's blood volume increases dramatically during pregnancy. Protein is what helps to produce the right amount of blood cells and aids the body in producing iron – a vital nutrient needed during pregnancy that helps you maintain a healthy immune system. Women often need more iron than usual when they're with child because they're eating for two.
How much protein do I need?
What To Expect suggested you consume three servings of protein (about 75 grams) everyday to help eliminate problems during the pregnancy. It's important to make a habit out of incorporating protein into your everyday diet. By eating the right foods, this can be made easy.
How do I get protein?
We all know that lean meats, poultry and fish are excellent sources of protein. However, Dr. Tom Brewer, creator of the Brewer Blue Ribbon Baby Diet, recommended getting this much protein by building your day around four cups of milk and two eggs. Not only are these ingredients versatile, but they're often inexpensive and will provide you with at least 32 grams of protein each day. And don't think eggs can only be scrambled. There are plenty of other ways to get this protein-packed staple into your diet. Try making a breakfast sandwich, French toast, stir-fry or some egg frittatas. Another easy way to up your protein intake is by consuming a protein meal.
One source of protein that many pregnant women rely on is fish because it's heart healthy, loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and is an excellent source of DHA, which feeds your baby's brain. However, it's important to keep a good eye on what type of fish you're eating. According to What To Expect, some fish contain high levels of mercury, an unfriendly toxin. Play it safe by avoiding fish from contaminated waters such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, fresh tuna, sea bass, tilefish, mahimahi, grouper and amberjack. On the other hand, fish like salmon, halibut, trout, cod and perch are safe options. You should also look to limit your fish intake to about 12 ounces per week.
Incorporating protein into a vegetarian diet
Protein is essential in a diet due to its ability to repair and maintain the body. According to MedlinePlus, protein is a major part of the skin, muscles, organs and glands. Everyone needs protein to help repair body cells and make new ones. It's also integral to growth and development throughout childhood, adolescence and pregnancy. Many, however, have made the life choice to live by a vegetarian diet. Although this means one of the most protein-packed foods, meat, is out of the picture, it doesn't mean there aren't other delicious and viable options to choose from.
How much protein do vegetarians require?
Many people are under the assumption that we need mass amounts of protein in our diets. While it is essential for our bodies, we do not require large quantities of protein. According to The Vegetarian Resource Group, only one calorie out of every ten needs to come from protein. The amount that you require is largely based on height, weight, age, physical activity level and body type. Look to your general health to determine if your body needs more protein or not. Make sure your hair and nails are growing properly, your wounds are healing well and you recover fairly quickly from routine illness.
Protein-packed foods for a vegetarian diet
Vegetarians can meet their protein needs simply by including the right foods into their diet. The Vegetarian Resource Group created a sample menu to demonstrate how easy incorporating protein really is. For breakfast, they recommended oatmeal, soy milk and a bagel. For lunch, two slices of whole wheat bread and some vegetarian baked beans. A snack could include crackers and peanut butter, and for dinner, try brown rice, broccoli and tofu.
When you're getting a wide variety of foods, you'll be getting all the amino acids you may need to keep your body strong and promote cell repair. Here are a few other foods that provide a good dose of protein:
The nuts with the highest source of protein include peanuts, almonds, pistachios, cashews and pine nuts. They are also packed with heart-healthy fatty acids and antioxidants. While these work well as a snack, they can also be easily incorporated into meals. You can add your favorite nuts to a salad, sandwich, wrap or even baked goods.
Pea protein powder
A protein booster, like Naturade Pea Protein, is a fast, easy and delicious way to get a dose of essential protein. Pea protein is a natural plant-based protein that is derived from yellow peas and is soluble, easy to digest and tastes great! Available in both chocolate and vanilla, this tasty shake is all-natural and contains no animal by-products, artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. It's an excellent source of protein for both vegetarians and vegans.
Whole grain carbohydrates are very high in protein and are essential for the growth of muscle. Quinoa is a protein-packed South American grain that has come into style in recent years as more and more individuals adopt veggie-based lifestyles. Quinoa can be cooked together with honey, berries and nuts for a healthy and balanced breakfast.
Tips and tricks to managing everyday stress
Life is filled with things to be happy about: relationships, great hair days, positive reinforcement at work, family and more! Stress, unfortunately, is sometimes a part of those everyday joys. Luckily, there are steps you can take to relax and manage this unwanted and unneeded stress. Try these tips and tricks to be on your way to a more stress-free lifestyle:
Ward off stress with a supplement
Help manage your stress levels with Symbiotics TryptoZen. This supplement is nature's way to a relaxed state of being and works to replenish your mental clarity. With just one capsule, you may be on your way to lower stress levels and increased relaxation.
Break a sweat
Exercise isn't just for slimming down. It can also boost your mood and help to fight stress. According to NIH Medline Plus, exercise can improve your mood and change how your body reacts to stress. You don't need to take part in intense workouts to reap the benefits either. Even walking a few times a day will help you reap the benefits.
Eat the right foods
What you put into your body could potentially have an effect on your stress levels. According to UF&Shands Communication, a handful of walnuts may lower resting blood pressure and improve responses to stress. These nuts also contain other health benefits, like better cardiovascular health and high levels of protein. Oranges, according to a German study in Psychopharmacology, may aid in reducing stress and returning blood pressure to normal levels after a particularly stressful situation. They are also filled with antioxidants to boost the immune system.
Spend time with family and friends
A fun afternoon spending time with family or friends could be just what the doctor ordered. Share your feelings, hopes and joys with those closest in your life to exchange insight and maybe even a few laughs. Laughing triggers the body's release of endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals in the brain. Having a few laughs also helps relax muscles and stimulate circulation, both of which are symptoms of stress.
Don't sweat the small stuff
It won't be the end of the world if you didn't get to cleaning the kitchen or you haven't mowed the grass yet. Focus on the things that really matter in life, whether that be spending time with family, getting work done or simply taking time out in your day to relax.
How can building muscles help you lose weight?
Many people are under the impression that taking part in strength workouts and lifting weights will make them gain weight, because they see the number going up on the scale each week. However, this is not the case. Workouts in which you work to build muscle can not only help you tone your body, but lose weight as well.
More muscle translates to more calories burned
In order to reach your goal weight, you must first increase your metabolism. While doing aerobic exercises and eating right can help with this, building up muscle is what really increases your rate of metabolism. This rate will be raised while exercising and will continue to be at a higher level long after the activity has been completed, according to FitDay.
One pound of muscle can burn up to 20 calories per day, while a pound of fat only burns about five calories, noted FitDay. If you're not building up muscle, you begin to lose your ability to burn calories. If you notice the number staying the same or going up on that scale, it may not be because you're gaining fat, you may be gaining muscle. According to FitSugar, muscle tissue is more dense than fat tissue. Therefore, it takes up less space. Women's Health Magazine explained that if you add one pound of muscle, your body burns up to an additional 50 calories per day to keep that muscle alive. If you amp up that number to six pounds of muscle, you'll be burning an average of 300 calories each day, just by sitting there.
The best protein for muscle growth
Protein is essential for the development of muscle. According to Active.com, protein aids in the repair of exercise-induced damage to muscle fibers. When you lift weights or participate in strength training exercises, you're breaking down muscle. Therefore, your body requires a fresh infusion of amino acids, commonly found in protein, to repair and build that muscle.
A meal replacement shake is a great way to go about getting in your daily dose of post-workout protein. Naturade 100% Whey is a protein powder packed with essential amino acids that your body needs. These amino acids have been said to support athletic performance and recovery, and even may work to boost your immune health.
Studies have shown that whey protein may aid in the growth and development of muscle. According to a study from Baylor University in Waco, Texas, a group of men took part in resistance training over a 10-week period and were given whey protein, while another group was only given a placebo. Those who had consumed the whey protein showed greater increases in fat-free mass and muscle strength.
Other protein-packed snacks for after your workout
Alongside protein powders, what you consume after you have finished exercising can also have an effect on muscle growth. A post-workout snack can give you the stamina and energy your body needs to repair muscle tissue. Fitness Magazine recommended yogurt and fresh berries. Low-fat yogurt can contain nearly fifteen grams of protein and the berries have plenty of antioxidants and carbohydrate-driven energy. You could also opt for peanut butter and banana slices on rice cakes or tuna on whole wheat for an extra boost of protein.
How to build muscle at work
You likely spend most of the daylight hours at the office, leaving little time to get in shape. Once you arrive home, you may have other priorities to tend to or may simply be too tired to hit the gym. But what about using work hours to build a little muscle? There are a number of ways you can tone up right at your desk.
Forearm clench
When you're sitting at your desk on the phone, where you have your hands free, work the muscles in your forearm by clenching and unclenching your hand. Yahoo even suggested investing in a stress ball to make this exercise even easier.
Transportation? More like exercise!
Give yourself a quick cardio workout by opting to park further away from the office than normal. Not only will it give you a breath of fresh air in the mornings, those extra calories will really start to add up. Even better, look into taking public transportation to and from the office. Walking to and from train or bus stations can add up quickly – if you walk a quarter of a mile to and from each transit station, that's a one-mile walk every day!
Bring the right lunch
What you eat during the day obviously has a large effect on your physique. You'll need to maintain a diet high in protein in order to promote muscle growth. Instead of going out for lunch during the day, try bringing a meal replacement shake like Naturade Total Soy All-Natural Original Powder. Available in both chocolate and vanilla, this is a tasty way to take a quick break at work and be building muscle at the same time. Total Soy protein meal replacement delivers 13 grams of protein as well as vitamins, minerals and fiber without all those added calories.
Tone your legs
Build your quads by sitting right at your desk! Bend your leg at the knee and bring your feet up so your legs are fully extended. Proceed by lowering them to the ground again in a controlled manner. See if you can grab some added weight to place on your legs, like a heavy book or ankle weights.
Work your abs
You don't need any fancy equipment to be on your way to getting a six pack. All you need is your chair. When sitting at your desk, ABC News recommended raising your feet a couple inches off the floor so your feet don't touch the ground. Hold that position for a few seconds, release and repeat.
Another great way to build some leg muscle would be to take a quick break and hit the stairs. Doing so a few times each day may help you to see a difference.
How to build muscle doing household chores
We all know that cardio exercise and strength training can help to tone muscles and help get you in shape. But when there are deadlines that need to be met, work demands and household chores to be done, working out seems to fall further and further down the list of things to do. The easy fix for this is to try transforming those chores into a fitness routine. After all, you have to clean, so you might as well kill two birds with one stone! According to Vitality Fitness, an 150-pound person can burn approximately 190 calories per hour by completing general household chores. Here are a few ideas to get you and your home in tip-top shape.
Toning your legs…
If there are clothes or toys lying on the floor that need to be picked up, look at this as an opportunity to get those legs ready for beach season. Vitality Fitness suggested completing squats to pick up items on the floor. Just be sure to keep your back straight and bend at the knees instead of hinging at the waist.
Toning your arms…
Instead of lifting dumbbells, try washing the windows! Move your arm in a circular motion and continually change directions to tone your arm and shoulder. Just be sure to switch arms ever so often so both of your extremities get a great workout. I bet window washing now sounds a bit more appealing.
Toned arms can also come from washing and putting away dishes. As you suds up your dishes, try standing on one leg or raising up on your tiptoes for a quick calf exercise. When putting away dry dishes, if you have an especially heavy pot, plate or bowl, Vitality Fitness recommended doing a few bicep curls with each item. Just be careful not to drop it!
Grab a refreshment
Take a quick break from chores by fixing yourself a shake packed with the protein you need to tone your body. Naturade Total Soy All-Natural Original Powder comes in various flavors like Bavarian chocolate and French vanilla to satisfy your taste buds and deliver 13 grams of protein as well as vitamins, minerals and fiber without all of the added calories. Total Soy protein meal replacement may also keep your heart healthy and lower cholesterol. According to the Food and Drug Administration, 25 grams of soy protein per day may increase heart health.
Toning your abs…
When you're sweeping, raking or vacuuming, activate your abdominal muscles as you extend the tool out as far as possible. As you bring your rake or vacuum back in, you'll be toning your ab muscles as you clean. Discovery Health suggested putting a spin on your laundry routine, literally. Stand about 10 to 15 feet away from the washing machine and spin your hips as you toss the dirty laundry into the washer. This works especially well for wet laundry that is a bet heavier. This is a great activity for your abdominals, lower back and hip muscles. Who knew laundry could be such a great workout?

Respond to Review of My Thai Vegan Cafe
by will-travel-for-food
Review: Buddha's always hits the spot when I'm craving warm, greasy Asian food. The chicken fingers and hot + sour soup are always popular, and there are many delicious entrees on their menu. If you're having a hard time deciding, just ask the waitress what dishes are the most popular. Don't come here if you are a health food nut... Buddha's is vegan comfort food! Yum! If you go with other people, be aware that your food might come out earlier or later than theirs does. Timing is not Buddha's strong point -- but delicious food is!

Oil Options Volatility Drops as Crude Rises to Nine-Month High
Oil options volatility declined after crude rose to the highest level in more than nine months.
Implied volatility for at-the-money options expiring in April, a measure of expected price swings in futures and a gauge of options prices, was 30.2 as of 2 p.m. in New York, down from 30.7 yesterday.
Crude oil for April delivery increased $1.58, or 1.5 percent, to $107.86 a barrel at 2:26 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange after touching $107.94, the highest intraday price since May 5.
"You're seeing us break out of the range, but we're doing it at a slower pace here," Fred Rigolini, vice president of Paramount Options Inc. in New York, said by telephone. "As we get to higher prices, $1 to $2 swings aren't as volatile as when we were at lower prices so you're actually going to see the volatility come in a little bit."
The most active options in electronic trading today were April $100 puts. They fell 26 cents to 74 cents a barrel with 2,074 contracts trading as of 1:58 p.m. in New York. Next were April $110 calls, which rose 45 cents to $2.09 a barrel on 1,968 lots. A contract covers 1,000 barrels of crude. Puts were 52 percent of the volume.
The exchange distributes real-time data for electronic trading and releases information on floor trading, where the bulk of options trading occurs, the next business day.
Calls accounted for 53 percent of the volume yesterday. April $119 calls were the most actively traded options, with 9,684 lots changing hands. They fell 13 cents to 48 cents a barrel. The next-most active options, April $110 calls, fell 11 cents to $1.64 a barrel on volume of 6,248 lots.
Open interest was highest for December $80 puts with 45,154 contracts. Next were December $150 calls with 37,455 lots and December $100 calls with 34,554.

- Credit Score
- Numerical calculation that creditors use to evaluate the creditworthiness of someone applying for credit, such as a mortgage or credit card. High credit scores (over 700) indicate less risk that you will default on payments, and low scores (under 400) indicate potential problems. Credit scores are based on information in your credit report, such as bill-paying history and outstanding debt. The biggest credit scoring company is Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO).

As fall sports are winding down and the next season's athletes are getting ready, it's a good time to think about an athlete's nutritional needs. Often kids will be exhausted by the end of practice simply because they didn't have the right nutrients in their bodies.
Most people need just six or seven ounces of protein a day from a variety of sources, including lean meat, poultry, seafood, milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds. Athletes may need a little more to build and repair muscle tissue, but not much.
When athletes "hit a wall," what's happening is their body has run out of carbohydrates to use for energy. The body first uses blood glucose, but there's only a certain amount available for immediate energy needs. Then it turns to its supplies of glycogen, the form of carbohydrate stored in muscle and the liver. With less- intense physical activity, the body uses both glycogen and fat. With higher- intensity activities, including football and volleyball, the body primarily uses glycogen stored in muscle.
If you are playing a higher intensity sport, you may need to eat more carbohydrates throughout the day to build up glycogen supplies. When adding carbohydrates to your diet, remember that half of all grains consumed should be whole grains. Whole grains include oatmeal, whole-grain bread, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice and popcorn. Potatoes, corn, lima beans and other high-starch vegetables are also good sources of carbohydrates.
In addition, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends eating a carbohydrate-rich snack or meal three to four hours before exercise, along with a small amount of protein to help build and repair muscle tissue. The food should be low in fat and fiber to make sure it digests easily and quickly.
Then, 30 to 60 minutes before the activity, eating a piece of fruit, drinking a sports drink or even enjoying a few jelly beans, low-fat candy or orange juice diluted with half water will top off the body's blood glucose and glycogen stores. Energy drinks with large amounts of caffeine or other stimulants aren't recommended for teenagers because of the health risks they pose.
Athletes also need to make sure They stay hydrated. Water carries oxygen and glucose to muscles, helping produce energy. Athletes should drink:
» Two cups of water or a sports drink two to three hours before an activity.
» One to 1.5 cups about 15 minutes beforehand.
» A half-cup to 1.5 cups every 15 minutes during the activity, without overdoing it.

Marine Charter
We the undersigned support Wildlife and Countryside Link's call for the swift designation of a representative and well managed Ecologically Coherent Network of Marine Protected Areas in UK seas by 2016.
We call on this and future Governments to ensure that this network meets international principles on coherence, and represents the full range of features in the UK seas as required by the relevant Marine Acts.
The full network must include ambitious proposals within the commitment to two future tranches of Marine Conservation Zones in English Seas in 2015/16, alongside wider marine protected areas, and must be well managed to maintain sites that are in good condition and recover those that are damaged.
Such a network is essential not only to stem the alarming decline in marine habitats and species, but also to ensure that the enormous social and economic benefits derived from marine goods and services can be realised for generations to come.

I've recently aquired an ex racehorse. At the stud he was kept at previously after his racing career finished, he was just turned out 24/7 on grass with no hay or feed and appears to have lost a lot of weight and I'm guessing muscle tone too.
Here is a pic of him on the first day I got him just after he was delivered:
I have been feeding him D&H Build Up Mix (3kg) with Pegasus cubes (2kg) as recommened by the vet. He also has 24/7 access currently to grass in his field and this is the most recent picture of him:
I've had him 4 weeks. Just for comparison, this is a picture of him from Google from when he was still racing.
I know the pictures aren't taken at the best angles but just wondered if you thought this was a reasonable weight gain for the period I have had him so far? I'm worried about him not having enough weight on him going into winter as it's already getting cold here in the UK. He is in a lightweight turnout currently and is plenty warm when I go to him in the mornings.
Do you think the feed amount is ok? Or should it be upped or reduced? I know the vet has given me this advice already but I don't see any harm in getting a second opinion and who better to ask than you lot?
Thanks for reading.
EDIT: Forgot to add, he's just, for the last two weeks, been doing light hacking work. 1-2 hours a day once or twice a week.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) today launched a new project to provide quality basic education to children in South Sudan who are currently not attending school.
Today, Deputy Assistant Administrator for African Affairs Linda Etim and Director of the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Mark Brinkmoeller are in South Sudan to meet with community leaders.
Today, the United States will provide approximately $180 million to help feed the people of South Sudan, who now face the worst food security situation in the world. This food aid includes a release from the Department of Agriculture's Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust as well as funds for the U.S. Agency for International Development to provide aid to those in need. Since the start of this crisis, the United States has provided the South Sudanese with more than $456 million in humanitarian aid.
We are here today in Washington, D.C., in solidarity with the people of South Sudan, who are in desperate need of help. Despite a Cessation of Hostilities agreement, fighting has continued, causing tremendous suffering and large-scale displacement inside and outside the country. This is a man-made disaster. All parties need to urgently work together to create the conditions for peace and stability to return to South Sudan.
The U.S. government, including many members of Congress, has been a strong supporter of the welfare of the people of South Sudan for decades—throughout Sudan's civil war, the Comprehensive Peace Agreement period, and since independence in 2011. We are all deeply alarmed by the horrific violence now threatening their hard-won struggle for independence—especially today, which marks the third anniversary of the conclusion of South Sudan's referendum, in which an overwhelming 99 percent of the South Sudanese people voted to form the world's youngest nation. The people of South Sudan have endured far too many years of conflict and bloodshed to see peace slip away.

Updated Feb. 7
Best offseason phrase for 2012: No NFL lockout.
Last year was tough to take as the NFL's owners and players squabbled trying to get a new collective-bargaining agreement, even putting the season in jeopardy.
Who didn't grow tired of all the legalese?
|More on NFL
|Related links
|NFL coverage on the go
Without free agency this past spring -- in its normal spot -- fans went into detox. The insatiable appetite for NFL information didn't get fulfilled.
In its place were lawyers, union chiefs and arbitrators. Yecch.
But now that there is labor peace again, the NFL will be back to stealing the headlines with every free-agent move and all the offseason decisions that are made.
The calendar can be set again:
February: Scouting combine.
March: Free agency.
April: Draft.
That's the way we like it.
Remember all that talk last year about how the lockout and the labor strife would turn the fans against the NFL? Not a chance. The NFL is a big, bad, money-making machine that grows more powerful by the year.
That little lockout only made you want it more. The television ratings soared this season. The playoff ratings and those for Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI, won by the New York Giants, were better than ever.
That's why the next three months will be so much fun. There are a ton of issues facing teams in the coming week.
What will the Colts do with
When does Drew Brees get a new contract?
Can Robert Griffin III push Andrew Luck for the top spot in the draft?
What do the Texans do with
When does the arbitrator hear the case?
Oops, that was from last year. Just seeing if you're paying attention.
When the Giants beat the Patriots on Sunday night, it brought to an end a season that opened with shortened camps and a hectic free-agency period, spawning the idea that the football wouldn't be as good.
Bad thinking. The football was every bit as good as it has been -- even if the old-timers who yearn for the fullback to be in vogue again hated it.
As we close the books on 2011 with our final CBSSports.com Power Rankings, we do so knowing full well that things will be normal this offseason.
Your insatiable appetite will be fulfilled.
Who wants to talk free agency?

Protect your vision by eating leafy greensPublished 3:10pm Saturday, July 7, 2012
Think carrots are the best food for your eyes? Think again. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are some of the best foods to eat for vision health.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are essential nutrients that help maintain the health of your eyes. Your body doesn't make these nutrients, so it's important that you replenish them daily through the food you eat. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are the best of sources of lutein and zeaxanthin.
Benefits of eating foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin include:
•Work like internal sunglasses absorbing damaging light we are exposed to every day, both sunlight and indoor light.
•Act as powerful antioxidants, helping to protect and maintain healthy vision and improve visual performance.
•Reduce the time your eyes need to recover from glaring light, like headlights while driving at night.
Clinical research shows that you need 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin every day to protect your eyes. To find out if you're getting enough of these essential nutrients daily to protect your eyes and improve quality of vision, you can have your macular pigment optical density (MPOD) tested.* Checking your MPOD is a simple, non-invasive test available from many eye doctors. Nearly half of Americans have a low MPOD score.
Getting the recommended amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin from foods is preferred, but can be difficult. The average American diet only provides about 2 mg of these nutrients daily, far below intakes clinically shown to have a positive effect on visual function.
Supplementing your diet with an eye vitamin that contains lutein, zeaxanthin and omega 3 fats is an easy way to bridge the gap of several essential nutrients. Look for FloraGLO Lutein on the label, the No. 1 doctor-recommended lutein brand.

The Campbell County Nightclub was packed to capacity during the Memorial Day weekend 30 years ago.
More than 3,000 patrons and workers were inside. One-hundred and sixty-five never made it out.
Survivors, emergency responders and those who lost family and friends in the fire gathered at the site of the club. For some it was their first trip back since the tragedy.
The fire was ruled electrical. The building did not have sprinklers or fire alarms, which were required by law and that oversight led to the establishment of code enforcements rules statewide.

I find it rather difficult to drive through Barre City not that the city isnt beautiful now but perhaps an oversight may have snuck in while waiting on a red light to change.
Ive heard that the new traffic light system is one thats synchronized across the nation. As a frequent user of Barre City streets (you hear so much of keeping it local) I feel that traffic lights should be localized. This coordination could be done through a review of your traffic camera surveillance systems.
As I sit at the stoplights (rather anxiously impatient), I begin to contemplate the aging process, as well as the amount of gas and diesel fumes that waft throughout the streets of everybodys hometown.
May I also suggest better and more appropriate lighting at all crosswalks, as well as more fluorescent and durable crosswalk markings?
Might I enlighten you in that the traffic lights take so long to change that the people who properly push the walk button wind up walking against it, leaving the cars having to wait some more for the walk light to change also?
Im sure I am not the only person to address this issue, and I do hope and pray that a response comes of this notation.

, but I don't think Walt is going after Jesse, I think he's going after Hank. I don't think Jesse told Hank about Gale because that is murder, no matter how you slice it. Hank just can't let it slide and now that Gomez is in on it, I just don't see it. I see Walt coming up with some other, sinister, plan.
It's interesting seeing Skyler transform. It seems like she is breaking bad as well, but for some other reason, maybe the money?
