Maybe the secret to weight loss isn't just about what you eat, but when.
A new study in the research journal Obesity tried out a diet on two groups of women over three months. Everybody ate the same amount of calories. The difference was which meal they got most of them from.
People in a breakfast (BF) group got 50 percent of their daily calories from breakfast, 36 percent at lunch, and 14 percent at dinner. People in a dinner (D) group flipped it around and got half of theirs from the evening meal. The results? The average BF group person lost twice as many pounds and twice as many inches as the average D group person. The Wall Street Journal summarizes the results:
The BF subjects lost an average 19.1 pounds over 12 weeks, while the D group shed 7.9 pounds. BF subjects trimmed 3.3 inches from their waistlines compared with 1.5 inches in D group; body-mass index dropped 10 percent and 5 percent in the BF and D groups, respectively.
The breakfast group also saw more improvement in other metrics, including triglyceride levels, total cholesterol, good cholesterol, glucose, insulin and ghrelin.
There are, naturally, some caveats. For one, the study was only three months long, so it couldn't assess long-term effects. For another, the participants were all from a very specific demographic: Overweight and obese women in their mid-40s who have metabolic syndrome, a group of health conditions associated with Type 2 diabetes. Maybe further research will show this diet strategy applies more broadly, but this study doesn't say that.
The diet also sounds kind of rough: 1,400 calories per day. That means meals of roughly 700, 500 and 200 calories, which requires some smart planning, serious portion control, and a lot of discipline.

Peti's Malu: Traditions of Samoan Tattooing
Ryman, Anders, The World and I
Anders Ryman is a freelance photojournalist.
The quick and rhythmic blows of the mallet are heard from the house where seventeen-year-old Peti lies stretched on the floor in front of the tattooist. Time after time the mallet lands on the tattooing comb, and line after line is methodically etched into the girl's thigh. Peti moans, her face twisted by pain, but she has no thought of giving up. Soon, she will be rewarded for her courage. She will be the carrier of a malu, a traditional Samoan female tattoo, a body decoration that the daughters of high Samoan chiefs have worn as far back as anyone can remember.
Peti's uncle sits by her head, brushing away the flies with a small fan plaited of pandanus leaves. Her sister also watches intently. "Congratulations on your work," the uncle says encouragingly to Suluape, the tattooist. Without looking up from his task, Suluape answers, as always: "Congratulations on your support."
Suluape is Samoa's best-known tufuga ta tatau, or tattooist. In spite of his relative youth, he is the head of the clan of tattooists on the island of Upolu.
The word tattoo, tatau in Samoan, is one of two that the European languages have borrowed from Polynesia. (The other word is taboo.) Historically, the art of tattooing was practiced all over the area. When European explorers, such as Captain Cook and Bougainville, stepped ashore, they were often met by islanders who were heavily tattooed. On New Zealand, for example, the Maori tattooed their faces in curved and spiral patterns. Likewise, the bodies of many males on the Marquesas Islands were covered with tattoos from toes to forehead. It was not until Cook and other seafarers after him brought home pictures, stories, and even live people from the Pacific and Asia that Europeans regained an interest in this ancient art form. But tattooing was not unknown in European history. The famous iceman who froze in the Alps some five thousand years ago was tattooed.
On the Polynesian islands, the tattooing practices began to disappear when missionaries converted the inhabitants to Christianity. One exception to this rule was tradition-bound Samoa. There are places in Polynesia--French Polynesia, for example--where tattooing is undergoing a revival, but only on Samoa has the tradition remained unbroken over the years.
Both sexes must endure pain
"Congratulations on your work," Peti's uncle says again as he fans away the flies. Suluape is now working on Peti's knee, the most painful part. When he later begins to work on the thigh, the pain lessens and Peti can relax somewhat.
Two assistants sit on the mat-covered floor beside Peti. They stretch out the skin of her leg and regularly wipe off the dye so Suluape can see his work. As apprentices, they hope to one day perform the craft of the tattooist on their own. That day is still far away. It is a most difficult art, which takes many years to master.
A number of tattooing combs of various sizes lie in an enamel bowl beside Suluape. They are laid out with their wooden handles resting against the rim of the bowl. The actual combs--thin, white plates of pig's tusks, the lower edges of which have been filed into a row of sharp points-- hang outside in a neat semicircle. From time to time, Suluape dips the comb he is working with into a black dye made of soot and water. With quick blows of the long, rounded mallet, he drives the comb into the skin.
After a little more than two hours, the left thigh is at last finished and Peti may rest for a while. She looks pale but pleased. The pattern that Suluape has chosen for her consists of a ribbon below the knee and another one up where the thigh ends. The space between has been tattooed with thin lines and embellishments, some in the form of stars. The actual malu, a rhombus, is tattooed behind the knee. The rest are just adornments. Where this rhombic pattern comes from, and what its meaning once was, nobody knows. …

Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

shorts never figure out why NFLX is coming back and hope Reed will repeat the mistake he made two years back. If that is the case, NFLX will not even come back to this level at all.
The same story, a lot longs sold the stock in low 100s when it more doubled from its low and mis the run from low 100s to 200s.
Story continues, lots long sell at low 200s, and shorts short at the low 200s. I believe if the coming-back story continues TP325 is not far from here. History only teaches people experiences but it can never be just a prediction of future.

The Durability Standard
The majority of all hard drives sold worldwide are produced by just six manufacturers: Fujitsu/Toshiba, Hitachi, Samsung, Seagate, and Western Digital. In order to determine which of these vendors sell the most durable products, Storelab evaluates the hard drives they receive for recovery, as well as the economical losses failures cause customers. In this particular study, more than 4000 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives are included. Storelab also compares the number of defective drives received by different manufacturers with their respective market shares. One has to keep in mind that failure rates will appear higher for popular manufacturers. A substantial difference between market share and the proportion of failed drives can indicate higher or lower product durability.
At this point, we also need to make very clear that the study is not representative and cannot be seen as a comprehensive reliability summary. It reflects only a very tiny fraction of the hard drive market. Drives are taken from analysis made during the recovery process, and there aren't specific test groups. It covers different form factors and different product lines, etc. Think of this analysis as an overview on reliability that might apply to the hard drives in your home city. Results very likely differ somewhere else.
Based on the graphs, we see that failures and market shares only partially correlate. The largest percentage difference can be seen with the market leader, Seagate, where its failure rate of over 56% is almost twice as high as its 31% market share. Even though Seagate reports a 40% market share within the Russian market, from which Storelab pulls its data set, the difference is still very noticeable. The other five manufacturers show proportional failure rates below their market shares. In particular, Hitachi and Western Digital are almost 11% lower, at least suggesting higher durability and reliability. Again, this only applies to this limited sets of drives in this specific environment.
The second key durability indicator is the average age of hard drives at their time of failure. Again, we see large differences between the various manufacturers, as well as between specific models. A hard drive's future durability is difficult to predict during development. Engineers cannot do much more than perform laboratory tests and simulate the effects of temperature, pressure, vibration, etc. These setups are never capable of identifying all possible design flaws, especially since the tests cannot be run for the full time periods the drives are designed to operate. Instead, a failure-free test period of around one and a half years is considered a good enough yardstick for the durability of the hard drive's design and construction.
As you can see from the Storelab-provided table (complete with Russian titles), Hitachi wins in terms of long-term reliability for 500 GB models. These drives operated for an average of five years, at least half a year longer than those of Western Digital. The values for Seagate's 7200.10- and 7200.11-series were separated to give a more fair representation. Keep in mind that a new product line can potentially turn the results upside down. We're looking at a snapshot of the hard drive market last year.
1mi1ez , 13 August 2010 15:03Quote:The majority of all hard drives sold worldwide are produced by just six manufacturers: Fujitsu/Toshiba, Hitachi, Samsung, Seagate, and Western Digital.
Erm... That's 5...
1hollett , 13 August 2010 16:36These figures are totally irrelevant. you can not compair the drives sent in to be representitive of the market. For example the people who use data recoverty services are not the owners of low cost computers but more likly to be enterprise drives. WD do not even manufature SAS drives, while Seagate are the market leader in this area, so this would explain the large disparity in the figures.
1mi1ez , 13 August 2010 16:53Graph shows 1.5years. 3.5years and 5years gives 1.5years difference.Quote:These drives operated for an average of five years, at least half a year longer than those of Western Digital.
1smalltime0 , 13 August 2010 23:05mi1ezErm... That's 5...
I'm guessing Tom's is counting Toshiba and Fujitsu as seperate as they were 5 years ago when this trial was seems to have started.
3Anonymous , 15 August 2010 23:08Interestingly, the Air Jordan shoe suffers from a high rate of spindle slip and a resultant electromagnetic dither that is reproducible in the lab.
Is this what you were getting at sssooo?
Or are you just a worthless spammer?
1astrowhiz , 17 August 2010 18:52hollett - the Seagate 7200.## series aren't SAS drives. All the drives in the survey are consumer devices. I would guess that if storelab had included enterprise and network storage specific drives they could have made the sample size much larger.
Strangely enough Seagates enterprise HD's are excellent products I've found. Maybe the two divisions need some tech sharing.
0hollett , 19 August 2010 04:27@ Astrowhiz. The total sales figures they use don't specify if they include just consumer or all drives. So I would assume all drives. Also Seagate 7200 NS is a popular Tier 2 or Near Line Storage SATA drive. Although the firmware on the 7200.10 was shocking.
0Solitaire , 19 August 2010 20:46Wheee!! If Toms aren't shilling Hitachi like the world was about to end then they're really not picking good articles to hint at any concept of impartiality
Annoying Fact: Drives sent to data recovery firms are not there for a holiday. Their users have mission-critical data on them that needs to be retrieved, and its not cheap. Not one bit. Therefore the bulk of 3.5" drives and quite a few 2.5" drives going through such a company will be enterprise or server drives which have feck-all to do with standard desktop models. So this article has no bearing on regular users.
Except to shill Hitachi drives, that is.
Amusing footnote: Through experience in the industry, in the domestic space the F1 and particularly F3 drive lines from Samsung seem least failure prone. WD on the other hand are pretty bad, especially with older and higher-capacity drives. And Hitachi's newer high-capacity 3.5" HDDs are the worst of the lot, with a good few enthusiasts who went on Hitachi's brand name getting burned big-time
0tritono9 , 20 August 2010 03:37wow, I have three 1 TB WD Caviar Black and tomorrow I will need to buy another. 4 TB of WD. I just wish that this HDs dont fail because I work with media and I have huge storage files... f*ck, wish me luck. The good thing is that I never had a problem with my HDs, I have two for like two years now. :\
0Anonymous , 24 August 2010 21:05Seriously? "Let's take a look at HD reliability in *Russia*" ?
Coming next week. an intimate examination of whether users in Outer Mongolia prefer MS or Logitech mice.
Obviously filling your quota of articles there......

Submitted by Mr. Tim Dobson on
Yes, I'm 50 today! And I wanted to start the day by saying thank you. Thank you to God for the life he has given me with such a great family and wonderful friends and an amazing church.
When you reach certain landmarks in life, it does cause you to reflect a bit. I am looking back at almost 24 year of being part of our church, most of that time being a leader. I've seen it grow from about 60 adults meeting in Highgrove Church, to now well over 1,000 across three congregations. I do love our church, not because it is perfect or because it is the best church in the world, but I love it because it is the Bride of Jesus. I look around on our Sunday gatherings and I see people who are genuinely trying to follow Jesus to the best of their ability, I see people who haven't got a faith yet feeling at home and welcomed, I see people who want to serve God not just on Sundays, but through out the week in their workplaces, communities and homes, I see people finding forgiveness, freedom and healing.
Of course there are struggles and things to improve on. Some people may feel the worship isn't inspiring enough, or the teaching not deep enough, the coffee isn't strong enough or the children's work not entertaining enough, some feel people don't care enough or Sundays aren't creative enough, the PA isn't loud enough or we don't pray enough. BUT Church is not a consumer experience, it is family! On a wedding day the husband loves the bride and seems oblivious to flaws that might seem obvious to others. My hope is to love our church like that. The church is a body of people with such diverse gifts, backgrounds and opinions - together, working in unity, we are a power for good to see the world changed as God's Kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven.
On Sunday I was speaking about the Lordship of Jesus and was looking back over the past 50 years of my life encouraging us all to live with Jesus as Lord of our lives. If you missed it you can listen on line by clicking here. If you just want to see the photos of me with hair, as a baby or on our wedding day then click here and look at the "study notes"!!
I feel it is a real privilege serving this church and thank you for being part of it.

Divine Divinity was a better-than-it-had-any-right-to-be game when it came out over a decade ago, good enough to spawn a solid independent franchise, and every Divinity game for Larian Studios has been a strong (if under-appreciated) title, that's added something to a genre with many irrelevant games. Divinity: Original Sin promises to be another groundbreaker, and will have at least one thing never before seen: a cow simulator.
Ok, what's really being shown off here is the strength of the game editor, which will allow players to create their own adventures for their friends. Still, I'm a little curious about Cow Simulator 2014. I've playing role playing games where I've been a bunny, a dog, or even a mouse, but never a cow. I can't help but be curious just how much adventure there is to be had as a cow.
There have been games with editors before, but they've always fallen a little flat in my opinion. A good role playing adventure is hard to find, and most adventures made with editors are little better than Harry Potter fan fiction–pale imitations, and then only if you're lucky.
Larian's track record is good enough that I'm very much looking forward to the adventures of Divinity: Original Sin. Turn based role playing in a world with the depth of Elder Scrolls? Count me in when Early Access starts on June 26th, 2014.

Whiteland is buying land around a busy four-way stop as the town's first roundabout is set for a busy commuter intersection.
Drivers will have to continue to creep through the plugged-up intersection of Whiteland and Graham roads in the meantime, but construction is on pace for next summer.
Final construction plans are being reviewed by the Indiana Department of Transportation and the town can start buying about an acre of land around the intersection, CrossRoad Engineers vice president Trent Newport said.
The intersection will be a little wider than it is now so that trucks have enough room to make it through the roundabout.
The town will need to buy some of the yards of two houses on the northwest corner, but the project shouldn't bring traffic too close to the homes, Newport said. The town won't have to buy either of the houses, he said.
Whiteland has been delayed up to this point while waiting for the state to approve plans and allow the town to move forward with the preparatory work, such as buying land, town manager Dennis Capozzi said. But the town should still be able to start the $1.36 million project in summer 2015 as originally intended, Newport said.
The town received federal grants that will pay for most of the engineering and construction costs. The state may also choose to pay for all of the construction costs if it has additional money for road projects, Newport said.
That recently happened when the state fully funded a roundabout project at Main Street and Averitt Road in Greenwood.
Whiteland has been setting aside money for the project and will take out a short-term loan if needed, Capozzi said.
Residents and commuters will have an opportunity to learn more about the roundabout this fall during an informational meeting, which hasn't been set yet, Newport said.
Engineers will have design plans for people to review and answer any questions about the roundabout.
The new Whiteland intersection will be similar to other roundabouts in the county, Newport said.
Town officials haven't decided what type of landscaping will be put in the center of the roundabout when it's built, but the height of the center island and angles of the road as you approach won't be as notable as the new roundabout in Franklin, Newport said.
Franklin residents and officials questioned the height of the roundabout, which was designed a little taller than others in order to slow down drivers in the residential neighborhood.
Since the intersection is in a flat, rural area, construction workers will have enough room to create gentle slopes into the intersection and drivers won't need to be on the lookout for pedestrians.
That will make the roundabout look similar to roundabouts on Whiteland Road on the west side of the county, Newport said.
Since drivers don't have to come to a complete stop at a roundabout like they do at a four-way stop, the congestion at Whiteland and Graham roads should quickly dissipate once the roundabout is open next year.
Commuters heading to and from the nearby Interstate 65 exit often face delays at the intersection.
"It's an intersection that gets backed up pretty substantially during the rush hours much like Fairview and Morgantown did. Just like that one you're going to immediately see an improvement in traffic flow," Newport said.

Death after Oklahoma traffic stop ruled suicide
STILLWATER (AP) — The Oklahoma medical examiner's office says a man who died of a gunshot wound to the head following a traffic stop in Payne County killed himself.
The Stillwater NewsPress reports that a spokesman for the medical examiner says 27-year-old Craig Blakely of Cushing was not hit by gunfire from a deputy who shot out the tires of Blakely's pickup truck.
Blakely was killed Sept. 4 after he had refused to stop for a deputy for a traffic violation near Perkins.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says a deputy shot out the truck's tires as the truck moved toward him at a roadblock. When the truck stopped — Blakely was found inside with a gunshot wound to the head and a gun was found in the vehicle.

'87 YJ Hardtop Latch Removal
I am trying to take apart the rear glass latch section and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the latch assembly apart? Here is a picture:
Need to try and get this apart as one of the screws is rusted and broke off. I can not find any set screw or other means to separate the "T" handle (outside) from the backing plate on the inside??? :confused:
Thanks for any help.
mine rusted in half so i cannot help on this part
I believe you need to drill out the 2 screws on the outside and the T handle will pull out and expose interior mounting plate.
375 Attachment(s)
I had to drill the two studs out and then soak the mechanism in pb and beat it with a hammer to get the square shaft out

At the regular forest cabinstop I met up with a really nice 50 year old who had struggled the same road as I. He was an old speedskater who had just last year taken up his old sport . He was planning on going to Calgary this winter to try and go under 7 minutes for the 5000 meter. We had a nice talkative ride back to Oslo on newly ploughed roads.

Guest post: James "Dubz" Cross is a fantasy football blogging veteran, hip hop head and BBQ master. You can find him on a regular basis on his blog DoubleDanger.com.
I can't decide which I am more excited about… the fact that fantasy football season is just around the corner, or the fact that Brett Favre is reporting to camp! Are you sensing my sarcasm? I hope so. Did we learn nothing from Joe Montana in KC? Are you looking for an Elway finish? Go ride your ATV and when you find yourself bored, build a play fort out of STACKS OF CASH… leave the Packers alone dude.
Anyone else feel like Chad Johnson is the poor man's T.O.? Who does he think he is Corey Dillon? Shut up and do something deserving, your still on that list of mine… you know the list. The smelly one. I would rather draft T.J. anyhow.
I think that there needs to be some kind of amendment to the way we play fantasy football. One that accounts for RBBC(s)… am I wrong? Like a spot where you can place 2/3/4 RBs and gain all the points made (as long as they are on the same team) You know, a RBBC slot. It is getting to the point where too many teams are going to that, and its screwing up my Sundays. What do these guys think football is for anyhow… winning games? Whatever happened to fantasy football and a lone starting RB. Geeeeeeeez.
Anyone else wondering if Michael "The Burner" Turner is just another hyped up Atlanta RB that will fizzle into ANOTHER RBBC type situation (just like every other year in Atlanta since Jamal Anderson)? I hope I'm wrong, but I will let you draft him and then you can tell how dumb I was… I will feel a lot better that way. ATL already got me last year on that whole Norwood thing. If it all turns out the way I think it will, see above comments about changing the rules to help out RBBC owners (I think you will see it my way).
Cowboys all the way? If you live in Texas, like myself… you hear NOTHING else. I am not a Cowboys fan, but I have to admit, those guys do look strong, and not only that - they played the free agent game as well as anyone this offseason. How 'bout them Cowboys? It is going to be a looooooong season of hearing Cowboy fans talk about Romo & Jessica and how she is "screwing up our playoff chances"… **shakes head**
What if I am left with the choice of Frank Gore or Larry Johnson… as far as RB1 goes… I may just drink until my time is up. Hopefully with enough liquor in me, I can make a choice. I can just see it now… **hiccup** I take… Chris Cooley **hiccup**. FAIL.
I don't mean to be a downer, I am excited for the season to start just like everyone else. I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it. Some say fantasy football is ruining football and what it stands for. We like to call those people… baseball fans. Quit gripin'… get a hobby already. I got mine.
