FINA World Championships editorial coverage is proudly sponsored by SpeedoUSA. For all the latest coverage, check out our event coverage page.
BARCELONA, Spain, July 30. MICHAEL Phelps continues to dodge the questions lobbed at him regarding a return to competitive swimming. In a recent interview, Phelps didn't swat away the possibility of racing again, but also doesn't deny the chance of it happening.
"I don't know what's going to happen in the future," he told media during his time in Barcelona. "I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow."
Talk of Phelps' comeback has been out there since mid-May, and since then no one has given a definitive answer, further fueling the speculation that Phelps could make a return in time for the 2016 Olympics. Phelps has spent most of his time traveling the world and playing golf. Earlier this week, he came to Barcelona to fulfill sponsor obligations with Omega and Speedo, and also spent some time with his former USA teammates. It almost goes without saying that being in the city where the world championships is being held hasn't given Phelps some pause to consider the likelihood of returning.
Meanwhile, several friends and competitive rivals weighed in on the subject today at the world championships. Below are some of their comments:
Matt Grevers: "I'd love to see him back. Bob Bowman said 'I'll believe it when I see it' so I'll follow suit."
Conor Dwyer: "I'm living with Michael for the next two years so I would love to train with my roommate, so we'll see."
Yannick Agnel: "That's going to be (expletive) cool! That's going to be shockingly cool. That'll be fun, but I heard nothing about it. I just saw him and we play Call of Duty a little bit and that's about it."
Tom Luchsinger: "I think part of the reason why us butterfliers are so in focus at meets like this is because we've been racing Michael for so long, so I would love to see him make a comeback to swimming, but at the same time I am also enjoying the new faces that are coming along."
Chad Le Clos: "It was a little bit different this morning, to look around and it's like, "Whoa, he's not here." It's fun for a change to watch him in the stands, like I was doing for some years. I saw him in the stands and I'll probably chat to him after the races are done."
Tyler Clary: "I'm just focusing on world championships right now."

text: Hey guys this is a really great board and I've learned a ton in the last few days but I have some specific questions that I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to answer. My MTB just got stolen and I've decided to build a fixed gear, something I've been interested in a long time. It's mainly just for getting around town, to and from work and such. So I'd like to keep it under $200-300. Is this possible? Should I convert a 70's roadbike? I actually just picked up an old Nishiki bike but it has verticle dropouts, and from what I've read that's less then ideal. Anyways I'll keep browsing the forum, but any specific incites from those who know what they're doing would be greatly appreciated!

Ralph Fiennes got naked and bloody in 1993's The Baby of Macon and was naked and tattooed in 2002's Red Dragon. See the NSFW full frontal pics after the jump!

!! OMG, he's naked: Ralph Fiennes !!
(Click for more nude male celebs)
The weeks before "Red Dragon" opened, the word was that the studio required Fiennes to be digitally castrated in the scene where he runs naked from a bed and up the stairs because test audiences GASPED when they saw all that flopping uncut meat. These were American test audiences, mind you. Comfort with exposed penises is not something we're known for, much less uncircumcised ones. The director told the trades that he had to digitally remove an inch or two and darken the crotch.
He is so yummy.
He is much more naked in Sunshine (1999). Well lit and standing still.
He is YUM!
Yes, I heard those rumors, too. The problem with those rumors (such as the one about Kevin Costner being so huge onscreen that audiences gasped, or Brandon Routh needing a special jockstrap to conceal his "enormous" manhood in Superman) is that they are typically spread by the actors themselves, via publicists. They tend to be bulls***. Believe me, I work with these people- they'll do anything to creat buzz about themselves. And they tend to be proven wrong later when some enterprising soul releases screencaps like these.
Dang, Voldemort…

Accommodation in Agadir - Travel Guide
A popular beach resort, Agadir lies on the east coast of Morocco. With 10km of sandy beaches and around 300 days of glorious sunshine each year, it's easy to see why Agadir attracts tourists looking for a healthy dose of sun, sea and sand. Destroyed by an earthquake in 1960, Agadir is very much a modern city. However, the oldest remnant of pre-earthquake Agadir is the 16th century Kasbah, offering incredible 360 degree views of the city. You can also get a sense of the past at the Musée du Patrimoine Amazigh, home to an impressive collection of Berber artefacts. For a dose of contemporary glamour, head to the new marina, where gleaming yachts bob alongside sleek boardwalk cafes and boutiques. If you'd rather be on the sea, rather than looking at it, consider hiring a catamaran and skipper for a cruise around the harbor. If all that sea air has worked up an appetite, join the locals at one of the fish stalls lining the port, or perhaps a plate of skewers under the shadow of the Loubnan mosque at Le Sésame. Plus, if you choose self-catering Agadir accommodation, you can also take full advantage of the gorgeous gourmet delights on offer at Souq al-Had. Here, stock up on gleaming piles of produce, which will not only save you money on dining out, but give a true taste of local Agadir life.
When to go to Agadir
Agadir is truly a year round tourist destination. The maximum average temperature never drops between 22°, making an Agadir holiday a great option in any season. If you are visiting in winter, however, be sure to bring warm clothing for night, as the evenings can get a little chilly.
Getting to and around Agadir
Most tourists arrive in Agadir via flights to Agadir-Al Massira Airport. Once in Agadir, the city is easily explored on foot, although there are also plenty of inexpensive taxis available should you tire of walking.
Finding holiday apartments in Agadir
When choosing accommodation in Agadir, villas and apartments offer great, spacious alternatives to more expensive hotels. HouseTrip has a number of Agadir accommodation options, ranging from quality studios and apartments suitable for singles and couples to large villas ideal for families and groups of friends. Whatever your needs, HouseTrip is sure to have the perfect accommodation for your Agadir holiday.

Not unwieldy and yet capacious enough for a week's worth of gear, the sturdy and durable Eagle Creek Load Warrior 25 Wheeled Duffel won't bog you down when you're navigating through unfamiliar streets or crowded airports. But it will keep your essentials organized—it's even equipped with a laundry pocket—and tidy. Plus, it has carrying options with handles all around and an expandable main compartment, because you always come home with more than you left with. Which is how it's supposed to be.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
So far, so good
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
First things first: When it came time to replace my old, bedraggled duffle bag, I only reluctantly looked also at duffle bags with wheels. The very first time that I used the Wheeled Duffle, however, I knew that it was the better option, and no, it did not make me feel like a blue haired old lady. As for this particular duffle, I have had it for only about a month, so I have used it only about 5 or 6 times. So far, though, I like it very much. It appears to be sturdy, it is very well thought-out, it holds a lot, and I even like the wheels, which are slightly larger than those on many other bags and they are not racing slicks. Do give it your consideration.

Initial orders for Level-5's Ni no Kuni on DS hits 600K
Level-5 held a premiere event in Japan last night for its adorable looking DS RPG Ni no Kuni.
According to Famitsu (via Andriasang), Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino addressed the crowd at the event with the news that the game's initial orders hit the 600K mark, which is the highest ever for a Level-5 game. Even Professor Layton, apparently. The publisher is expecting to sell between one and two million units of the game, with it being the "next big title to follow Professor Layton and Inazuma Eleven."
Ni no Kuni: Shikkoku no Madoshi, which in English translates into Second Land: The Jet-Black Mage, is not the only Ni no title to be released today, as the mobile phone version Ni no Kuni Hotroit Stories also debuts for ROID.
A PS3 version of the game, Ni no Kuni: Shiroki Seihai no Joo (Second Land: The Queen of White Sacred Ash) is expected to hit PS3 in 2011.
No word yet on a release outside of Japan. Damn it.

The mechanic said he would have to replace the whole A/C compressor and belt(serpintine?). I don't have the $615 and am in desperate need of repairing my car soon. He says he can also install a bypass kit that would run around the same amount as just replacing the A/C compressor. He also says that I better not drive it. I'm wondering if its possible to just replace the serpintine belt on it without hooking it up the A/C and how?

Basically what I want is best vintage experience, breakdown's, riding qualities, something to wrench on?
Is there going to be any major difference these areas between a 2002 and a 2010. l have not been able to ride them as they are dealer bikes but wanted a opinion.
Another option is - buy both - one to ride and the other to tinker with .
Thank you everybody for the words of wisdom. I am definitely going to get the 2002, its what I want, the full vintage experience. The price is going to be higher here in California because it has a legal title. Not a lot of RE's made it here legally. As for the modifications. Pull the thing apart for a full in house repaint/powdercoat, increase the CC', better brake pad material (make on cnc), make leather rear bags, springer front end, make exhaust and jet coat. I took another look at the local bike, it needs some work though, new lights, new generator stuff like that so I offered them ~1800$ its got 8800 miles. No go on there part. So I am bck to buying on eBay I guess.
There is an RE listed for 2200 in the LA area. It is an older bike but redone, bobbed, painted with a newer motor. check out www.royalenfields.com for the listing.
If anybody else see's this. The one in Denver is sold The one in California was improperly registered at one point so it will have to leave the state.
I would be willing to part with my speedo if you need one, it has over 8k miles on the clock and it would give me an excuse to get another Smiths replica... I have a spare sitting on my bench with 2k on it also...
The on in LA has 7900 miles on it. That should be good enough to register. What is wrong with it ? I have a buddy who is interested in it. Can you share what is wrong. Thanks.

It was very effective for me but i was also already 2 cent dilated and my cervix was soft. I'm preg with my third, 38 weeks, 5 days, and just had that done today at 3pm. Lets see if it works again. I'm already 2 cent also... ELposted 07/27/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I had my membranes stripped at 39 weeks with my second child. I was only dialeted to a 1. My dr told me that I would know within the next 48 hours. Contractions started later that day and I checked into the hospital the next morning and gave birth th my little boy. I am now pregnant with my third child and hope to do this again at 39 weeks. It worked very well for me. However, I walked A LOT immediatley afterward . That may have helped to. I don't know. I just know that I have no dout that it worked.posted 10/27/2010 by happymommyof thr
I am also at 39 weeks & had mine stripped today, too! I am having discharge, spotting and feeling pretty crampy & achy. I only just got back so I am just taking it easy and waiting..... and hoping something happens!posted 09/07/2007 by IncubatorCK
I was at 41 weeks and 3 days (I am opposed to induction unless absolutely necessary) and 3 cm dilated. I went into hard labor 1.5 hours after the doctor stripped my membranes, and had my baby four hours later. This was a third baby, which may have had something to do with it.posted 05/29/2011 by MelissaD7980
one more thing...the procedure was uncomfortable but tolerable...like a long menstral cramp!!posted 09/14/2007 by paula - mason's mom
I was dilated to a 4, 90% and +1 station, I got my membranes stripped after being dilated to a 4 for 2 weeks...he stripped them @ 10 in the morning, I went into labor around 6 at night and had her at 9--and it didn't hurt getting them stripped!posted 05/18/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
It depends on how ready your cervix is(as far as dilation:1-10 cm, and effacement (or softness or "ripeness" of the cervix) 0-100%) If your 1 cm dilated your unlikely to go into labor the next day. Stripping the membranes is basically separating the amniotic sac from the uterus which releases the hormone prostaglandin which can ripen the cervix further. If you're close this can jumpstart labor. If you're not, it's a good way to get you closer. So is sex after term. Semen contains prostaglandins which can ripen the cervix as well. I just had mine stripped yesterday (I'm 39 weeks and 1 day, 4 cm dilated, 70% effaced) and am having lots of sex to get things going :) We'll see how well this worked at my next appointment, (if the baby doesn't come before then) If nothing else, it can't hurt! Good luck :)posted 01/18/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I had mine stripped at 38 weeks and the Dr. said for sure I would be having the baby within 2 days since I was having contractions and I was dialated and effacted pretty good....I was then induced at 40 weeks, so you never know.posted 07/06/2010 by downenout2
Hi! I am 39 weeks & 5 days. I had my membranes stripped today @ 3 o'clock pm, it is now 6:30 pm. I am having much more pain then I had before getting this done which is a great sign that its doing something! I am only 1.5 cm dilated, so I'm really hoping this works! My doctor seemed quite confident that it will get things going. Not looking forward to the labor, but extremely looking forward to meeting my little guy finally!!! Good luck!posted 01/18/2011 by mysterygurl29

Oklahoma state Capitol briefs for Jan. 26
Fallin, Thunder star to host fundraiser
Gov. Mary Fallin and the Oklahoma City Thunder's Serge Ibaka will host a fundraiser Wednesday in conjunction with Pros for Africa, an Oklahoma nonprofit foundation that supports children in Africa. The fundraiser will include a live auction with proceeds going to support the work of Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe, including the building of schools and orphanages in Uganda and South Sudan, as well as other projects to assist children in Africa. Sister Rosemary's programs have helped more than 2,000 girls who had previously been abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army, a militia group that uses child soldiers. The fundraiser will take place at the Philips Pavilion on the grounds of the Governor's Mansion. Items up for bid on include a trip for two to Africa with Pros for Africa and autographed Thunder gear. To buy tickets, contact Bill Horn at email@example.com or call 409-2223.
Bill targets use of welfare cards
Sen. Rob Standridge has filed a measure that would disallow the use of any welfare cash cards in strip clubs, liquor stores and casinos. Senate Bill 667 states that no electronic benefit transfer card containing state or federal funds from programs including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families may be used in strip clubs, liquor stores and casinos. Standridge, R-Norman, said his proposal is intended to make sure the assistance money is not spent on alcohol or gambling.
Bill would OK 'Black Friday' sales
Legislation has been filed to "Black Friday" sales and other low-price retail sales legal in Oklahoma. Under current law, which was enacted in 1941, retailers must sell products for at least 6 percent more than they paid for it. A December 2011 opinion from the state attorney general confirmed that state law bars all "Black Friday" and other low-price sales, even if they are only temporary. Senate Bill 550, by Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City, would change that for all products, except for fuel and prescription drugs.

Characters are an essential component to every story. No matter what age range a story is aimed at or what genre it is in, characters are often the most defining feature in books, movies, plays and other media that audiences most remember. Some characters can come across as so vivid and life-like that it is hard to believe that they are not actually real people. Contrarily, other characters are either one-dimensional or fantastical; obvious creations from a writer's lucid imagination.
Although characters are as varied as the stories that they come from, many have the ability to both entertain and educate audiences—especially young audiences. For this reason some characters and television shows—like "Dora the Explorer"—have become award-winning emblems of early education. As long as a child can feel an emotional connection with a character then they can learn from that character much like they learn from their family members and friends. Some characters have been designed to teach children a specific lessons (such as how to prevent forest fires or count to ten) while other characters teach informal lessons through example, such as Elmo's representation of innocence and love.
Characters are timeless and so even ones that have been around for centuries, such as the characters in fairy tales, can still be beloved by children in the modern day. Furthermore, creative people are always thinking up new concepts for media containing new characters that aim to entertain and sometimes even teach.
Below is a list of five famous characters that have made a mark in the hearts and memories of most people.
Smokey the Bear
Smokey the Bear is one of the most recognizable figures in the history of children's educational media. Smokey was created in 1944 as a means of educating children about the dangers of forest fires and ways to prevent such fires. Smokey was presented as a mascot of parks; he is a bear which is fitting because bears inhabit many parks in the United States and he dresses in Park Ranger attire to convey his "protect the parks" message. Smokey produced a huge amount of merchandise materiel such as plush toys, coloring books, and stories and this made him one of the most recognizable and beloved fictional characters in America. Throughout the 1950s Smokey's popularity boomed and his charm has still not worn away. Now, nearly 70 years after his creation, Smokey maintains his status as an Entertainment-Education icon. Americans of mostly any age can see a depiction of Smokey and know who he is.
Elmo is a lovable red monster who has become one of the most popular and beloved features of the long-running television show "Sesame Street." Elmo is a Muppet who is supposed to be around three years of age. He is kind and curious and excitable and all about love. Although the Elmo Muppet was in existence since the early 1970s, the personality that is known as "Elmo" by present standards was not formed until 1984 when puppeteer Kevin Clash started working with it. Elmo became an instant success and soon his popularity grew to rival that of Big Bird, Oscar, Ernie and Bert and even Kermit (who occasionally appeared on "Sesame Street" as well as "The Muppets Show")! Elmo had produced a lot of merchandise around him including award-winning and record breaking toys and games. The 1996 toy "Tickle Me Elmo" was regarded as being the most desired toy of that Christmas season!
Dora the Explorer
"Dora the Explorer" is a perfect example of a children's program that mixes education with multiculturalism and themes of girl power. Since its launch in 2000, Dora the Explorer has become a roaring success with audiences of all ages. People love the themes of adventure in the show that make the plots and settings constantly changing and engaging for viewers. Furthermore, Dora is represented as a Latina girl and she speaks to the audience in both Spanish and English which helps small children gain an understanding of both dialects. As the United States sees a rapid influx of Spanish-speaking populations it is becoming a necessity to learn Spanish and understand it from a young age so the show is very useful. Additionally, the show is appealing to both genders despite the fact that it's lead character is a female—a trend that had not been seen in many shows prior.
Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse is arguably the most famous cartoon character in the world. Since his first cartoon titled "Steamboat Willie" was presented to the public in 1928, Mickey Mouse has skyrocketed to extreme and global fame. His name and image are known to practically everyone on earth and he has produced more merchandising opportunities than any other brand in the world. Walt Disney became so popular and successful as a result of his film work—driven largely by Mickey Mouse—that he was able to open several theme parks. Presently, the Orlando Florida based "Magic Kingdom" is the most visited theme park in the entire world with millions of people coming through its doors annually. Although Mickey's appearance has changed over the years and he has gained more of a vocabulary, he still strives to be entertaining in a way that is appropriate for young children to model behavior after.
Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob Squarepants is one of the greatest cartoon success stories in history. Surreal and hilarious, the show is enjoyed by a vast age group ranging from very small children to grown adults. Spongebob Squarepants aired in 1999 and its oddball underwater setting and outlandish characters soon caught audience's attentions. SpongeBob is meant to be purely entertaining—and some have even argued that the show can lower the IQs of viewers—but it has managed to teach some lessons (abet unintentionally). For example, in 2010 a 12 year old girl from Long Island saved her choking friends life after she learned how to help people who are choking from watching Spongebob Squarepants. Although gaining this knowledge was totally unintentional, it still helped her to save her friend's life and thus proves that even purely entertaining characters can work certain real-life facts into their storylines. Furthermore, SpongeBbob is endlessly cheerful and upbeat and for those reasons alone he makes a delightful cartoon character and a solid role model.

(CNN) - A New Jersey man was arrested after his toddler was found with dozens of heroin packets at day care.
Forty-eight envelopes of heroin were found stuffed in the 2-year-old's jacket by a worker at the day care center in Paterson on Monday, Reuters reported.
Authorities don't believe the child knew the drugs were in his coat. Police confirmed the boy's father had dropped him off that morning.
The father, 27-year-old Phillip Young, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

I'm not sure why the return to darkness in the early evening has awakened my appetite for a breakfast-for-dinner entry, but here's one with a twist: ground golden flaxseed, in tidy crab cakes you can bake in the toaster oven.
The ground flaxseed is the only "filler," and it lends a slight nuttiness along with a healthy amount of omega-3 fatty acids.
Funny thing is, it doesn't interfere with the crab's flavor. Store the flaxseed in the refrigerator in a zip-top bag.
Serve with roasted red peppers with slivered garlic and olive oil, warmed in the same skillet you used to cook the eggs.
Flaxseed Crab Cakes
2 servings
Adapted from "Wheat Belly 30-Minute (or Less!) Cookbook: 200 Quick and Simple Recipes to Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health," by William Davis (Rodale, December 2013).
8 ounces lump or jumbo-lump crabmeat
1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed meal (see headnote)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano plus 1/2 teaspoon dried basil)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the toaster oven to 375 F. Line a small baking tray/sheet with aluminum foil.
Use your fingers to pick through the crabmeat, discarding any bits of shell or cartilage. Transfer the crabmeat to a mixing bowl, along with the flaxseed meal, Italian seasoning, oil and salt. Crack 1 of the eggs into the bowl, and stir gently to incorporate.
Form the mixture into 4 crab cakes, each about 3 inches across and 3/4 inch thick, arranging them on the baking sheet/tray as you work. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; the crab cakes should firm up and brown slightly on top.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat, then crack the remaining 2 eggs into the pan. Cook until the whites have set but the yolk is still soft enough to run when poked open with a fork. Remove from the heat.
Place 2 crab cakes close together on each plate. Drape one egg over each. Sprinkle half of the pepper on each egg; serve right away.

Which do you think it is?
I'm torn between:-
Merckx, winning all the jerseys, in 1969
Fignon, hammering the field, in 1984
Lemond, winning without a team, in 1989
I'm open to persuasion; strength of opposition should be a factor, no? It certainly coloured my selection.
Define 'modern' any way you like....;-)

Obama Caught Up In Gay Murder Scandal? Ehr…Probably Not.
So, I'm walking through the super market and I see the newest copy of the Globe, which has, among other things, this, on the cover,
Now, after seeing that, you're probably wondering what it's all about. You're probably thinking, "Has Obama been murdering gay people in his spare time?" or alternately, "I knew that guy murdered gay people!"
That's why I stepped up to the plate, bought the latest copy of the Globe, and perused the story so I could tell you what it was really all about — because after all, if this man is going to be our next President and he's going to be getting involved in gay murder scandals, I think the American people have a right to know that.
Long story short, the choir director, Donald Young, at Barack's anti-white hate church, Trinity United, was apparently gay and murdered.
Moreover, according to an anonymous "private investigator," "Donald Young was silenced because of something he knew about Obama." Moreover, Larry Sinclair, the gay guy who says he did drugs with Obama right before they had sex, says that he was also connected to Donald Young and gave the police "shocking new evidence" linking Obama to the murder. Sinclair, who failed a lie detector test about having sex with Obama, says that Young had "personal and intimate involvement" with B.O.
Now granted, this is the Globe and as such, I wouldn't give Larry Sinclair and their anonymous "private investigator" any more credence than I'd give say, the anonymous sources for a Seymour Hersh story, but still, I thought you should be aware of this story just in case you are ever discussing Barack Obama and the gay murder he isn't — well probably isn't — involved with.

The treatment was fine (slightly alarmed she filed my natural nails with a coarse file used for acrylics and did so in a back and forth motion which you shouldn't do), but the finished product is fine and lovely for a quick cheap job.
The salon was a bit grubby and lacked atmosphere and wasn't helped by the two girls speaking only to each other in their own language, even when talking about another member of staff who was right there. Slightly strange but fine considering I needed a cheap shellac treatment ASAP.

Hey, what happened to the version with the title? Did you run into copyright problems? :(
Love this still. Classic!
Brilliant. Might be the best Metroid art ever done. Still.
Brilliant design! The use of negative space here is just so damn clever. Perfect colors for the mood of it as well.
cool work
Very nice!

"3 months in Brighton" New Brighton by ATLC
New Brighton Travel Guide: 39 reviews and 102 photos
When we lived in Christchurch, we temporarily moved to New Brighton to live in a caravan near the beach and Avon estuary for 3 months. Because our house was sold and two new houses were being built by my father.
I made friends with two boys my age and we got into heaps of fun and trouble. Going to the beach with picnics (cheese and onion sandwiches), going surfing...
Running wild in the woods around the estuary, pinching matches and burning anything of interest, from a plastic box, twigs, leftovers from barbecues and a dead seal. Yes, we did get caught and punished... :-) I even remember how. My parents had friends over who had children. The eldest boy came along with us to play. We made a fire. He told the parents. The rest is history... (I hope I punched him hard, but I can't remember I did!).
I still have the tiniest scar on the back of my left hand, as a result of that I burned myself.

text: Something in your digestive tract is causing a problem. It may be temporary, or it may be permanent, but either way it means restricting what you eat. The best thing to do is to accept the fact that you need to follow a special diet. Special diets are designed for people who discover that what they are eating is undermining their health. You may find out that you suffer from allergies to food, or have diabetes or high cholesterol. Proper nutrition is an important part of health; it's also an important part of managing illness, and it's a tool to use in the fight against disease. When faced with a diagnosis that involves a carefully controlled diet, it's important to remember that proper nutrition, calorie intake, and appealing and appetizing foods do go together. Because of nutrition's recognized role in health care, many people now consult a registered dietitian to create an eating plan that provides the energy and nutrients needed to maintain or improve health. This chapter addresses some of the most common special dietary needs. Many such conditions require oversight or a diagnosis from a health care provider. The information in this chapter is not intended to be a substitute for that; it is intended only to supplement information from a doctor or a qualified nutrition professional.

The latest on Blu-ray, including collector's editions of masterpieces from Robert Altman and Michael Mann.
"Stargate" is the kind of movie where a soldier can be transported to "the other side of the known universe" in a whirlpool of bizarre special effects, step into a temple on an alien planet, and say, "What a rush!" It is also the kind of movie where the sun god Ra, who has harnessed the ability to traverse the universe at the speed of light, still needs slaves to build his pyramids. And where the local equivalent of a Nubian princess is sent into the chamber of the Earth visitors, to pleasure them. Don't tell me there aren't any coincidences. The movie "Ed Wood," about the worst director of all time, was made to prepare us for "Stargate." The movie opens with the title "Egypt, 1928." (Other titles say "Present Day" and "Military Installation, Creek Mountain, Colorado" - the latter, of course, with rum-dummy-dum military music.) Scientists uncover a mysterious archeological find. Flash forward to the Present Day, where Egyptologist Daniel Jackson (James Spader), looking uncannily like John Lennon, explains his theories to experts who walk out after about two sentences.
Jackson, who is considered a crackpot, is obviously the man the U.S. government would choose to translate the hieroglyphics on the secret find of that 1928 expedition - a giant circle of carved stone which is a stargate, left behind by the builders of the pyramids. And, of course, Jackson and Col. Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell) are the guys to walk through the gate, leading a squad of soldiers with automatic weapons.
The journey through time and space is done with the technique, but not the style, of a similar journey in "2001." On the other side, the Earth visitors find a desert planet ruled by the god Ra, who is played by Jaye Davidson, previously known for embodying the secret of "The Crying Game." Here, dressed like a cross between a pharaoh and a Vegas showgirl, he rules a curious society in which spaceships use pyramids as landing pads, but the citizens live like desert nomads from "Lawrence of Arabia." His voice is distorted by a synthesizer so that it drops several octaves and sounds like an elevator recording with a cold.
Let's say a stargate was discovered, allowing instantaneous travel across the universe and opening onto a planet that could be inhabited by humans. What would the appropriate response be? Awe? Ambition? Curiosity? Not at all. Col. O'Neil's orders: "Track down signs of any possible danger. If I find any, blow up the stargate." The movie is so lacking in any sense of wonder that it hurtles us from one end of the universe to the other, only to end in a gunfight between the good guys and the bad guys while the colonel's bomb ticks down. (Like all movie bombs, it comes equipped with a bright red digital readout device that displays the countdown while beeping.) "Stargate" is like a film school exercise. Assignment: Conceive of the weirdest plot you can think of, and reduce it as quickly as possible to action movie cliches. If possible, include sun god Ra, and make sure something gets blowed up real good.

Dreading Holidays
Monday, April 01, 2013
In the years before I started to lose weight, I'd dread the holidays. Starting with Halloween, the end of the year is one long meal. Halloween candy followed by turkey and grave and mashed potatoes with pumpkin pie followed by all those Christmas goodies your friends and family pass off to you. And the cherry on top is New Year's, which, depending on if you drink or not, could be even worse.
Is it no wonder then that so many people make resolutions on January 1st? And is it also no surprise that on January 2nd, these resolutions are broken?
I also had another nasty habit: trying to schedule when to start my diet around the holidays. Oh, Valentine's Day is in a few days - can't start today! But next week is Easter and there is SO much temptation! Better wait until after then. And so on, and so forth.
I started my diet on November 16th right smack in the middle of the Holiday Food Blur. I was nervous - how could I resist the temptation of pecan pie and Christmas cookies? What about chocolate truffles and peppermint mochas? How could I possibly part with these treats?
I'd be lying if I said those first few weeks were easy. They were TOUGH. It was hard to pass over the mashed potatoes and gravy. It wasn't easy to ignore the Christmas danishes. But although it was hard, it wasn't impossible. And more importantly, it was worth it!
With Valentine's Day and Easter behind me, I really see the changes. I didn't have near the desire for chocolate for either one in comparison to Christmas. I didn't ache for a heart box of chocolates or chocolate bunnies. I didn't even salivate when I saw them in the store or bemoan silently that I couldn't eat them. To be really honest - I didn't even WANT them.
Because when I look back on Holiday Food Blur, I remember mostly being too full. Feeling fat and yucky. Not feeling fresh and fully of energy, ready to do whatever I wanted, whether it was a walk at lunch or reading a book on my couch.
The Holidays are more than Holiday Food Blur. Yes, the food is good, but what makes Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter awesome is the people you spend it. Taking the emphasis away from WHAT I was eating and putting it to WHO I was spending with helped me more than just with my waistline - I got to focus on what was important with the holiday.
Memorial Day is upcoming, and I don't dread the barbecues and ice cream. Would I love to have a bowl of ice cream? Sure, but I look forward to wearing a bathing suit for the first time in 6 years more than another bowl of ice cream. I'm still working off last year's ice cream ;)

I love this blog.I know the feeling yesterday I practiced MODERATION. I mean in years before I had no idea what that was. I fixed the traditional Easter dinner everyone loves. I adjusted mine , ate more veggies , less of everything else. IT was the first time in years I enjoyed the holiday and didn't feel so stuffed I couldn't move after dinner.
Thanks for sharing you are so right . we do use all those Holidays as excuses to wait , not start, or give in a little.. just because we won't have it for one more year. But for some ,point finger at self , I need to focus so I can be here to have the time next year. the holiday with my family .. not the food. I would much rather have the moments with them then the food in my mouth.

"Starting with Halloween, the end of the year is one long meal." Ain't that the truth. I got caught in the blur this year and gained 7 pounds but thankfully pulled myself out of it before the end of January. It was NOT worth it. This year I'm going to plan in advance to avoid falling into the same trap. Good for you for beating it!

Unlock LG G3
The brand-new flagship phone from LG the G3 is one of the finest phones in its class. Battery life on the LG G3, with its 3000 MAH battery is simply as excellent as the M8 and much better than the Galaxy S5. For additional benefit points the battery on the G3 is detachable and there is expandable micro SD storage.
The cam on the G3 is special; a 16MP camera with laser autofocus it's tough to take bad photos. The electronic camera is incredibly easy and simple to make use of, so for those individuals who do not have to alter the settings each time they take a photo, this video camera will certainly work well. When played back on the G3's screen or a 4k TELEVISION, it has the capability to shoot in 4k which is fantastic and the videos look actually great.

Unlock ZTE Grand X
The ZTE Grand X is a prepaid model available through Cricket Wireless. As one might expect from a prepaid carrier, it doesn't carry the same specs as a Galaxy S6 or similar flagship phone. CNet.com calls it "a middle of the road phone that is reliable and affordable."
Processor and Storage:
The Grand X sports a Tegra 2.1GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM. Internal memory is capped at 4GB though expandable via microSD. (Note: CNet.com reviewed the phone with a 2.3GHz Snapdragon processor.)
This phone runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean despite the release of 5.0 Lollipop for other phones. Cricket includes proprietary apps as well. TrustedReviews.com reported the OS running very smoothly on the phone and games perform well.

Prepaid 4G, reliable, and budget-friendly
The LG Optimus L70 is MetroPCS' 4G midrange handset. It's a phone that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be; coming from a prepaid carrier, maybe that isn't such a surprise.
Processor and Storage: The L70 runs a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, so it is a bit ahead of the Nokia Lumia 635 in terms of speed. However, this phone isn't for HD movies, gaming, or multiple apps. There's 4GB of storage on board, expandable to 32GB.

New York City was outside of my radar for a very long time. I thought that visiting it would be very complicated. Looking at the subway system map filled me with trepidation. I didn't even know what "Manhattan" is; I just knew that it had something to do with New York.
Anyway, some months back, I realized that I still had a one-week vacation coming to me. I also had accumulated enough miles in my credit card for a round-trip ticket anywhere in the United States. The more I thought about it, the more a vacation to New York City made sense. After all, I have not been to the East Coast at all, and I feel that my travel pages have this one huge void called The Big Apple.
After reading several travel books and looking at the map, however, I gained the confidence to proceed to the next step: actually planning the trip. I got permission to go on vacation on the fourth week of October, got my plane tickets, made a reservation for one week at a hostel, and filled out my itinerary. I bought several tickets online to make sure that no monkey wrench is thrown into my plan.
When I finally made the trip, everything turned out like clockwork. It didn't rain. It was cool, which made it easier to walk. The tickets I got online also helped me to experience New York without hassles.
These are my impressions of New York City:
- I felt very safe there even when I was traveling alone at night.
- I didn't see any big rats running around the streets.
- New Yorkers seem to be nice people. I'm sure I bothered some people while I was taking pictures but I never sensed anything negative. I also asked several New Yorkers for directions, and they were very helpful.
- New Yorkers jaywalk a lot.
- The city was not as dirty as portrayed in some movies.
- The atmosphere was electric...like something exciting was always just around the corner.
- The attractions are world-class.
- New York City cops look like Regular Joes, not like our buffed LAPD cops, but they are everywhere and they definitely make the city safe. Kudos to them!
- The variety of food is simply amazing.
- When ordering food, it's "To stay." instead of L.A.'s "For here." It's "To go." in both places, however.
I am glad that I made that trip and learned a lot about New York City. It is indeed "the greatest city in the world." I'll be sure to visit again.
