Amanda Knox of Seattle and the British student she is accused of killing were friendly when they first met as foreign-exchange students...
PERUGIA, Italy — Amanda Knox of Seattle and the British student she is accused of killing were friendly when they first met as foreign-exchange students in Italy, but they then drifted apart, their roommate testified Saturday.
Knox is on trial with her Italian former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, for the murder and sexual assault of Meredith Kercher, who was found stabbed to death Nov. 2, 2007, in the apartment she shared with Knox and Filomena Romanelli in Perugia.
Romanelli testified for the first time in court Saturday, saying Knox and Kercher had been close initially, in part because they both spoke English.
"They had interests in common, at the beginning they surely had a good relationship, there was no reason not to get along," said Romanelli, who is Italian.

"Along the way, they didn't really go separate ways, but they developed personal interests that they pursued individually," she said.
While Kercher was dedicated to her studies, Knox was someone with "quite a lot of interests," Romanelli said. "She liked music, sports, yoga, languages. Sometimes she had unusual attitudes, like she would start doing yoga while we were speaking, or she would play guitar while we were watching TV."
On the day Kercher's body was found, Romanelli said, she received a call from Knox in which the American said she had found the apartment's main door open and drops of blood in one of the bathrooms.
"She told me that there was something strange in the house," but that she had taken a shower there and was leaving to meet Sollecito, Romanelli said.
Both Knox and Sollecito were in court Saturday.
Prosecutors allege that Kercher was killed during what began as a sex game. They say a third defendant in the case, Ivory Coast national Rudy Hermann Guede, tried to sexually assault Kercher, and then Knox fatally stabbed her in the throat.
Guede, who had also denied wrongdoing, was convicted last year and sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Sollecito has maintained he was in his own apartment in Perugia and that he doesn't remember if Knox spent part or all of the night of the murder with him. Knox initially told investigators she was in the house when Kercher was killed and covered her ears against the victim's screams. Later, Knox said she wasn't in the house.
Prosecutors say Knox's DNA was found on the handle of a knife that might have been used in the slaying, while Kercher's DNA was found on the blade. The knife was found at Sollecito's house.
Romanelli testified that the knife had not come from their apartment.

"KLOSTER MACHERN" Top 5 Page for this destination Bernkastel-Kues Off The Beaten Path Tip by balhannah
Bernkastel-Kues Off The Beaten Path: 18 reviews and 19 photos
This Monastery is located just 7km's from Bernkastel Kues.
In 1084, there was evidence that there was a Monastery here.
The actual foundation took place in 1238 in which it was added as a convent in the Order of Cistercians of the Association.
Over the year's, the Monastery was used less, until in 1793, when there were only 6 Nun's and an Abbess left. Eventually, it was left to deteriorate.
Luckily, in 1969 it was bought and then renovated for current use and made available to the public. It now houses recreational facilities, restaurants and a museum.

Ultimately, Justa would like to open her own restaurant in Puerta Plata. In the short run, she will improve the business in her own home by purchasing increasing amounts of inventory and upgrading her equipment. Your contribution will give her the means to realize these aspirations. Thanks for your consideration.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Federal Statutes - Wiretap Act - Ninth Circuit Holds That Intercepting Unencrypted Wi-Fi Broadcasts Violates the Wiretap Act
FEDERAL STATUTES--WIRETAP ACT--NINTH CIRCUIT HOLDS THAT INTERCEPTING UNENCRYPTED WI-FI BROADCASTS VIOLATES THE WIRETAP ACT.--Joffe v. Google, Inc., 729 F.3d 1262 (9th Cir. 2013), amended by No. 11-17483, 2013 WL 6905957 (9th Cir. Dec. 27, 2013)
The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (1) (ECPA) attempted to modernize Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (2) (Wiretap Act) for the digital age by creating new protections for electronic communications such as "voice, data, and video communications, including cellular phones, and email [and] other computer transmissions." (3) However, the rapid expansion of the Internet has given courts the difficult task of applying old law to ever-changing technologies. (4) Recently, in Joffe v. Google, Inc., (5) the Ninth Circuit wrestled with the application of the Wiretap Act to local wireless (Wi-Fi) networks and found that Google could face liability for accessing data from an unencrypted Wi-Fi network. (6) In an opinion filed in September 2013, the panel refused to fit unencrypted data on a Wi-Fi network into the Wiretap Act's safe harbor for electronic communications "readily accessible to the general public." (7) The Ninth Circuit evaluated whether the data was "readily accessible" by examining the geographic range of the network and the skill necessary to intercept it. (8) In December 2013, the Ninth Circuit amended its Joffe opinion by omitting the section that addressed whether the data was readily accessible to the general public, leaving the issue for the district court to resolve. (9) Rather than using the factors chosen by the Ninth Circuit in its initial opinion, courts should instead consider employing an "express prohibition" test based on the objective configuration of the network to evaluate whether a network is readily accessible to the general public. (10) While the express prohibition test may run counter to public expectations of privacy, it is supported by both the statutory text and the legislative history of the ECPA.
In 2007, Google initiated efforts to add street-level images to its Google Maps service. (11) To create these images, Google drove motor vehicles equipped with cameras down public streets. (12) Many of these vehicles were equipped with Wi-Fi antennas and software that collected basic identifying information about the Wi-Fi networks the vehicles encountered along the way--including wireless network names (SSIDs) and unique hardware numbers (MAC addresses)--to enhance location-based services for mobile devices. (13) In addition, in a practice known as "packet sniff[ing]," (14) Google's Street View cars stored "payload data"--actual data fragments transmitted as part of a "data packet" sent from one device to another--which sometimes contain "personal emails, usernames, passwords, videos, and documents." (15) After several class action lawsuits were filed challenging Google's data-collection practices, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the cases to the Northern District of California. (16) Plaintiffs--individuals whose homes could be seen in Google Maps' Street View and who claimed that Google accessed payload data from their unencrypted Wi-Fi networks--filed a consolidated complaint alleging violations of the Wiretap Act and other statutes. (17) Google filed a motion to dismiss. (18)
The Wiretap Act makes it unlawful to intentionally intercept "any wire, oral, or electronic communication." (19) However, it supplies a number of exemptions, two of which were alternately implicated in Joffe. First, it provides an exemption for intercepting a radio communication that is "readily accessible to the general public," (20) which in turn is defined as communication that is not, among other things, "scrambled or encrypted." (21) The statute does not define "radio communication." (22) Second, the statute provides an exemption for intercepting an electronic communication that is "configured so [as to be] . …

Beast Mode beaten: Brewers fall short in NLCS
MILWAUKEE Prince Fielder peeled off his Brewers jersey, his season certainly over and maybe his career in Milwaukee, as well.
He was busy hugging his teammates and saying goodbye.
"I had to clear the throat once, but it was all right," Milwaukee's burly first baseman said Sunday night after the Brewers were beaten 12-6 and eliminated by the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL championship series.
"I love these guys. I've been playing with most of them since I was 18," Fielder said. "So this organization has been great to me. Yeah, man, it's just been good. It's been real."
The Brewers won the opener of the series but couldn't maintain that level, dropping the final two games and losing the series 4-2.
They got another shaky outing from starter Shaun Marcum on Sunday, made three more errors, while Fielder and fellow star Ryan Braun combined to go 0 for 8.
Fielder will be one of the top free agents after the World Series ends. He hoped to be playing in that series, but instead will be heading home.
"We gave it all we've got. And that's all you can do," Fielder said. "After that, like I say, as long as I play as hard as I can, I'm able to sleep at night. That's it. Time to go play with the kids."
Asked if would be coming back, Fielder wasn't ready to tackle that subject.
"I'm not thinking about that quite yet. I'm just trying to say goodbye to my teammates. It's the offseason, you're not going to see them at 3 o'clock every day," he said.
Fielder envisioned the Brewers being in the franchise's first World Series since 1982 and called the season the easiest he'd ever had mentally.
"I'm not mad at all about this year because it is what it is. I think we played hard. Like I said, we had a great year as a team. Unfortunately we didn't get to where we wanted to go," he said. "But still some great moments and great memories in there. Like I said, this year has been awesome."
The Brewers were a major league-best 57-24 in their home park in winning their first division title since 1982, when Harvey's Wallbangers, featuring Hall of Famers Robin Yount and Paul Molitor, led them to the franchise's only World Series appearance. The result: a seven-game loss to the Cardinals.
A return trip nearly three decades later was in the offing and had a city riveted by the possibility.
After beating the Diamondbacks, the Brewers needed to get past the wild card Cardinals, who overcame a 10 1/2 game deficit on Aug. 25, overtook the Braves and then eliminated the pitching-rich Phillies in the division series.
But St. Louis won twice at Miller Park, including the clinching victory Sunday that included six homers, three from each team.
"St. Louis is hot. Did they do anything wrong during the series?" Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said.
"That's incredible to go through a series and have everything you do go right," Roenicke added. "That's what you have to have happen in the playoffs. You have to have breaks that you create because you're playing good, which they did. But they outplayed us. They're a good team and they outplayed us."
The 5-foot-11, 275-pound Fielder went 0 for 4 - finishing the NLCS just 4 for 20 with a pair of homers and three RBIs. He did get the fans out of their seats with a high drive to the center field wall in the third that Jon Jay pulled down.
And when he came to the plate for perhaps his last Milwaukee at-bat in the eighth, the fans gave him a loud ovation. And he got another rousing cheer after bouncing out and returning to the dugout.

Today's guest blogger is Tom Stribling from the Business Analytics software team.
No one wants to be last in line, but energy and utility companies are often the last to be paid by their customers. A recent Federal Reserve statistical release <http: current="" releases="" www.federalreserve.gov="" z1="" z1.pdf=""> shows household net worth continuing to decline in 2011 – continuing the difficult climate for utilities to collect payments from customers. </http:>

The big questions facing utilities are:

How do you recover more revenues from non-paying or partially-paying customers?

More importantly, how do you avoid these non-payment situations altogether?

<http: current="" releases="" www.federalreserve.gov="" z1="" z1.pdf="">
The answer is in the data

If the devil is in the details, the shining angel is in the data utilities are already collecting. Utilities can take this data and use predictive analytics to make better debt collection decisions. Predictive analytics encompasses a variety of statistical techniques that can identify patterns in historical and transactional data to enable better decision-making. By using predictive analytics, utilities can dramatically improve the efficiency of their debt collection while guarding against future losses from potential non-paying customers.

Predictive analytics improves debt collection

Unlike spreadsheet software programs, predictive analytics can quickly pull together massive amounts of all sorts of data for analysis – including free-form text data (for instance, customer service center notes) – that capture detailed conversations with customers and payment information. This data can help utilities better understand what collection efforts have been successful as well as identify the patterns of how customers might get into trouble.

Predict who will likely not pay

Not only do you want to improve your debt collection, but wouldn't it be great to predict which customers are likely not to pay? Using predictive analytics, utilities can segment customers and apply the right interventions to each unique group of customers such as offering payment plans, interest penalty forgiveness or going straight to collections.

Maximize collections

For customers already in debt, ideally you´d like to recover as much as possible. But a heavy-handed approach can be counterproductive. Predictive analytics can provide utilities valuable insights about customers and collection case loads.

Predictive analytics can deliver a clear picture of what collection strategies have worked and how well they've worked. And it can help companies better allocate debt collection resources, so that collections personnel can zero in on customers most likely to repay.

It's tough for utilities to keep a healthy bottom line in today's economy with challenges such as costly upgrades to aging infrastructure and government regulations to both keep prices down and constrain timely consumer debt repayment. Predictive analytics is an innovative strategy to limit losses from customers.

IBM recently produced a short presentation that demonstrates how predictive analytics can help utilities:
</http:><http: current="" releases="" www.federalreserve.gov="" z1="" z1.pdf="">

Increase the amount of debt recovered.

Minimize write-offs.

Improve profitability.

Improve collection productivity.

Enhance customer satisfaction.

All while meeting governmental regulations.

Watch this presentation and learn how IBM SPSS predictive analytics solutions for utilities can support utilities' debt recovery strategies.

Update Notes

Update Notes
Updated on: 06/14/2015
Since we last visited NotSoInnocentTeens...
As Wayne and Garth would say about the babes on this site, "They are so innocent teens... NOT!" Not So Innocent Teens has nothing to do with "Wayne's World," but I still have one thing to say about the chicks I saw - SHWING!
What we have with NotSoInnocentTeens are hardcore videos featuring hot teens in various reality and scripted scenarios. Some of the scenes make reference to the camera being there, while others don't. Or at least not on purpose. (The chick staring at the camera and director for help on what to do next doesn't help the "illusion.")
There are now 33 videos and a number of them can be enjoyed in HD or even Full HD. The others aren't quite as spectacular, but they still offer good-quality playback and can be both streamed and downloaded in MP4 files. The vids show couples and groups of three going at it and the action is always hot and intense, but the site hasn't given us anything new since January.
You'll also find 33 photo galleries that you can download in Zip files. They come with sharp high-res shots. You'll normally see the babes in skimpy outfits that they slowly take off before posing or modeling beside another girl. Then they get into the hardcore action, so you basically get a play-by-play of the videos.
The lack of growth is somewhat tempered by all the teen extras you get, like additional pictures and DVDs, all with naughty coeds. You also get tons of other pics and vids that have nothing to do with teens. The same can be said about the bonus sites, including many from the Mega Site Pass network. Some of them, like Sex For Grades, I Am 18, Schoolgirl Internal and Real Teens Kissing, are right on target thematically.
You'll probably love having all those extras at your disposal, especially considering how Not So Innocent Teens is barely updating at this point. So despite how hot the material is and the fact that it's all high in quality, the site really won't keep you busy for very long.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

As active cyclists, what percentage of calories
should come from fat,carb, and protein?
As active cyclists, what percentage of calories
should come from fat,carb, and protein?
He who speaks bombastically shall bear witness to his own homonym!
Depends upon your workout that day.. On slow days where I eat 3000 calories, it's usually 10/50/40% fat/carb/proteins. On a 6000 calorie century day, it's gonna be 5/80/15% fat/carb/proteins. Did a 154mile ride last weekend and ate about 8000 calories, worked out to be about 4/85/11% fat/carb/proteins. I'll usually have a fixed amount of fats & proteins and will vary the carbs based upon my workout needs. Regardless of the intensity or distance of your workouts, you're not gonna need and your body's not going to absorb more than 75-100gm of protein a day anyway.
Well, under the new guidelines, it's: carbs= 45- 65%, protein= 10- 35%, and fat= 20- 35%. How much of each will depend on how active you are, and I don't think we can speculate, since we don't know you and don't know how much physical activity you do and what your goals are. Generally, if you stay within the recommended guidelines and maintain a regular exercise routine, you should be ok with what I've given you. If you can't pay to see a nutritionist or dietitian, then experiment around with the foods until you've found something that works for you and your goals.
no, i can't afford to pay a dietitian, but i've just discovered
Fitday.com and am hoping it will be helpful..
He who speaks bombastically shall bear witness to his own homonym!
Fitday.com should really help you. Stick with the new RDA guidelines, and use fitday to keep track of your eating. Since you're doing it on your own, expect to do some tweaking every now and then until you get something that works for you.
I have read that 40-30-30 (c-p-f) is ideal for endurance athletes, which fits Koffees recommendations.
Danno is right in that you are not going to eat much fat or protein on a long bike ride and your %s will change (that said I love a few nuts on longer rides).
well, i basically want to lose all unnecessary body
fat while simulataneously improving performance
enough to beat Lance.. pretty much...
i'm amazed at what i've already learned from
fitday, one friggin' soda was 270 calories and
i could have had a full plate of pasta for almost
that same caloric amount, also, it looks like what i
considered a low fat diet was really not, i just
assumed lean ground beef was ok, heh. no
wonder i've not really lost weight even with
all my riding and heart rate this, and heart
rate that etc...
gotta thank theis board for
many of it's helpful information, perhaps
one day that euro cut jersey won't be
such an eyesore--and now i know what
women mean when they talk about
fitting into a dress.. gawd what happened!!
there was a time when a case of beer and
a trip to McDonalds was all it took to maintain
a svelte physique..
He who speaks bombastically shall bear witness to his own homonym!
Let me tell you- everytime I go to a conference on nutrition, I come back not wanting to eat anything- like I'm heading towards anorexia! Then I get hungry and eat anyway. But still, even when I eat, I am very conscious about what they tell us. One of the things I stopped doing was drinking soda, because it has so many empty calories, and it's like wasting money, besides having to now waste all that time burning off all those calories.
You could always get the book called "Nutrition for Serious Athletes" by Dan Benardot. That book's become a staple in my book collection.
Heh, heh.. you need to read the labels a little more closely...Originally Posted by TwoTyred
I haven't read it, so I don't have too much knowledge on it, but I do hear it recommends giving up dairy, which I can't see happening, plus incorporating more soy, which may or may not be the best thing for people. Other than that, it sounds like a sensible eating plan that educates people about good nutrition habits.Originally Posted by BeeTL
You serious? 8000 calories? I can understand that with the ride length, but damn .Originally Posted by DannoXYZ
I thought I ate a lot at 2,220 or so heh.
How much do you eat on days that you don't exercise at all? (if those days exist )
I have 2-3 days off and I'll eat 2000 calories or so.
Well, that 8000 calories within a 24-hour period. I'll eat 1500 in the hours before the ride and 2000 afterwards. Actually about 2000 more than I actually burned off, but I want to make sure I'm not breaking any muscle apart to replenish glycogen stores after the ride. And I want to be fully recovered and stocked up for the next day.
Just getting my body used to processing a lot of calories and delivering them to my muscles. Got a 24-hour race coming up in a couple weeks and I calculated the most I can absorb in that time is about 7000-8000 calories (along with 4-6 gallons of water). And I'll burning off over 13,000 calories at the pace I want to go, so I'll be at a 5000 calorie deficit. I might be able to make up the difference with the 2000 calories of stored glycogen and burning fat. But I may need to slow down... we'll see...
I'm going to experiment with some high glycemic-index carbs and play around with some forms that can diffuse passively through the intestinal walls without requiring an active exchange of a sodium-ion like glucose... Maybe we can do an IV-drip of a glucose solution from a Camelback...

For better or worse here's what the Weston A Price Foundation has to say on macronutrient percentages.
It's a pretty straight forward and factual article.
Regards, Anthony
From www.swimbikerunstlouis.com:
Are You In the Zone?
Jaime Marcy RD, LD.
Many clients walk into my office in the Zone- the 40% carb, 30% fat, 30% protein Zone. Even athletes have succumbed to the pressure of avoiding carbohydrates and as a result, some have compromised their performance. Throughout our session I gently lead them out of the Zone and guide them back towards, 55-60% carb, 15-20% pro and 20-25% fat, a standard sports nutrition recommendation that continues to reward followers with enhanced performance.
How to tell if you're getting enough carbs.....
You may want to re-evaluate the composition of your diet if: you are fatiguing earlier than usual or expected, you feel tired all of the time, your recovery after an event takes too long, you avoid carbs at meals (i.e. pasta, bread, rice, cereal), or you are consistently consuming more than one no carb meal per day. A good rule of thumb during heavy training is 10 grams of carbs per kilogram of body weight (divide weight in pounds by 2.2).
Sample Carb - Content
1 cup pasta - 40 grams
1 Bagel (3.5") - 37 grams
Cliff Bar - 45 grams
3/4 cup oatmeal (dry) - 40 grams
1 medium apple - 20 grams
Testimonials ..
I am often told, "a friend of mine cut her carbs and is now racing better and feeling better that ever." Beware, it is important to realize that it is VERY likely that she may not have been eating enough protein or fat before starting this new plan. Sports Nutrition is a science with a tremendous amount of research supporting the importance of proper fuel for optimal nutrition and thus, peak performance.
Listen to your body..
Take the time to hear what your body is telling you, for example you bike for 3 hours and are ravenous all day your body is telling you that it needs to replace those 1500 calories you burned in order to prepare for your next ride!!!! Some athletes think they are doing themselves a favor by denying their hunger. On the flip side, some athletes give themselves permission to eat graze constantly (even when they are not truly hungry) and end up eating more calories than they need . just because they think they should or feel they have earned it.
What should you do to get back into the sports nutrition zone?
1. Write it down. Keep a food log of your actual intake, this allows for an easier, more accurate assessment of diet adequacy.
2. Legalize carbs. Incorporate high-quality carbohydrates such as whole grain breads, pasta, rice and fruit in your balanced diet.
3. Track your training. Critique training performance in relation to dietary intake to determine if changing your diet really does improve training and competition.
4. Individualize it. Consult a Sports Nutritionist to determine your best training diet.
Bottom line ..
Carbohydrate is the body's preferred energy source. Inadequate carbohydrate intake triggers a vicious cycle beginning with glycogen depletion leading to decreased endurance, decreased maximal effort, catabolism of lean body mass and ultimately the dreaded "BONK". Balance your diet, eat your carbs, smoke the competition.
If I am trying to get down to my "fighting weight" and have about 20 lbs before ideal, should I keep my fat percentage lower, like <15% or doesn't it work like that?Originally Posted by koffee brown
Do you just stick to dietary guidelines to lose weight, or should it be somehow adjusted?
Simplest guideline is to watch the calorie-deficit. Burn off about 500 calories more per day than you take in. That's the bottom-line really. I've lost 20-lbs between 1-Jan and 15-Feb in order to get ready for the collegiate-season on vastly different diets. Some years it was "the Zone" with high-fat/high-protein and 30/40 fat/protein, other years it was high-carbs/low-everything at 60% carbs, 20/20 fat/protein. In both cases, I lost the 20-lbs I had gained over Thanksgiving & Christmas. Just don't create too large of a calorie-deficit, 500/day is the most you want to do. About 1000/day if you're really in shape and are exercising a lot.
I don't think there's some "magical" formulae for these ratios. Just the success of different diet philosophies using wide ranges of ratios indicate that it's not that big of a deal. The concept I'm introducing here is the variable ratio linked to total calorie intake. It think the absolute amounts makes a bigger difference and you need a minimum amount of essential fatty-acid & protein in your diet, above that it doesn't help and can be a hindrance (fat piles on the body with 90% efficiency, carbs 40%). As mentioned before, the minimum amount of protein is around 50gm/day, 75gm/day if you're really active, 100gm/day just to be sure but the extra is not much help. So on my 8000-calorie day, eating 220gm of protein is definitely overkill, but it's hard not to get it with the 3 monster bean burritos and 5 fish tacos I inhaled at the 75-mile halfway point. My primary goal was to get sufficient carbs during and after the ride; that's the most important point in acheiving maximum fitness-improvement rate. Not enough carbs is an evil condition that'll cause your body to take apart perfectly good muscles to burn during the ride and to restore its glycogen supplies afterwards. You're taking a step backwards for your one step forward and you'll end up a plateau somewhere that you can't progress beyond.
So the question should perhaps be revised to say:
"What's the recommend percentages of fat/carb/protein for a 2000 cal/day diet? for 4000 cal/day? for 8000 cal/day?"
Because it will certainly not be the same ratios. As long as you're getting essential fatty-acids, you can go lower than 20% fats. It depends upon whether you're eating 2000 or 3000 cal/day. The chances of getting those fatty-acids in are good with eating 400 cal/fats a day, and the percentages will change depending upon your total intake. That's done more easily with a seafood diet that has fish and shellfish. But if you're not into seafood, you'll want a variety of meats like chicken, veal, lamb, and pork.
So in summary, keeping low on fats won't necessarily relate directly to weight-loss. It's based upon the ratio of calories-out vs. calories-in. You can have higher fat-ratios with a low total-calorie count and it'll result in weight-loss. A low fat-ratio with a high total-calorie count that you can't burn off will actually result in weight-gain. So it's best to keep your eye on the calorie-deficit, that's the most significant directly-related number in terms of weight-loss.

Hey Danno,
Ive been reading your posts and they are great. I am wondering if given the same percentages for protein(around 30%), is it better to get more of the remaining calories from fat or from carbohydrates? Im not looking to gain weight but to maintain lean muscle mass while doing both running/cycling and weights. I use to go on getting my remaining calories from carbs( usually 50%) and then the rest from fat (20%) but got the impression that this might not be good. I dont know if it is the current low carb fad or what but it seems like carbs are getting a bad rep lately as "nonessential" or less essential source of energy and nutrients and compared to getting more fats. What is your take on this? Do carbohydrates contribute more to fat gain and less to muscle building and should I be switching more of my carb calories into fat calories?

Ive a desktop computer at home running with Windows XP Home. Am using this computer since a year but as I dont connect any external device with this computer I dint installed any Antivirus considering it will be safe. But dont know why since last four days my computer is just not able to boot in Normal mode. It can only be booted into safe mode. I guess it is somehow got infected.
So I wanted to install Antivirus and scan the computer but as it is not booting into normal mode, I thought to do the same in safe mode. But it seems like I cannot install anything in safe mode. Tried various other softwares as well but none of them gets installed.
Can somebody please tell me how can install Antivirus in safe mode so that it can be scanned? Thanks for all you helps.

Lockheed Martin (LMT) is optimistic about selling its new coastal Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) to foreign countries even though the number of interested buyers has fallen to six or seven from 22, and despite Pentagon doubts about the LCS's survivability from a direct hit. Lockheed also reckons that in the coming years, it will be able to sell over 200 of the MH-60 maritime helicopters it makes with Sikorsky Aircraft (UTX).

You are the first here if I am not mistaken.
We will thank you kindly for a thorough range report!
Got to finally handle and evaluate a Curve today... Was pleased with the feel and function while at the LGS... So I bought it!
I had done much reading about it and wanted to ensure I liked it and it "fit" me before buying... I was surprised to find one and surprised how much I like it!
Full pics and range report to follow but here are my initial impressions...
- as advertised... It is a comfortable gun to carry IWB right handed
- the on/off switch for laser/light combo is easy to manipulate (a small spring loaded switch you push forward to turn on and forward again to turn off... It is simply a spring loaded toggle)
- the trigger guard stays on nicely- will not inadvertently come off... It takes a nice hard pull on the gun as you draw it to make the lanyard (which attaches to belt or belt loop) pull off the trigger guard
- the cross hairs on the rear of slide (vs regular sights) don't seem to detract from point and shoot (will know more once I get to the range)
- comes with two mags (but a bit unusual method to release them... Have to pinch the lower portion of mags to make them release
- unique small orange case
* Model: Taurus Curve
* Caliber: .380 ACP
* Action: Double Action Only (DAO)
* Capacity: 6+1 rounds
* Barrel Length: 2.5 in
* Overall Length: 5.18 in
* Overall Height: 3.7 in
* Overall Width: 1.18 in (0.88 in grip)
* Sights: N/A
* Lights/Laser: Integrated LaserLyte System
* Trigger Pull: 5-7 pounds
* Weight: 10.2 ounces (unloaded)
* Materials: Slide: Carbon Steel
* Barrel: Stainless Steel
* Grip: Polymer with Metallic Subframe
* Safety Devices: Loaded Chamber Indicator; Taurus Security System
* Accessory: Trigger Protector
* Holster: Integrated Side Belt Clip
* Slide – Finish: Matte Blue

You are the first here if I am not mistaken.
We will thank you kindly for a thorough range report!
You'll have to give us a rolling report here.
Work on your presentations with it. You'll need lots and lots of practice.
The Curve's waistband clip is very badly placed, making it impossible to achieve a full firing grip before beginning a presentation.
Therefore, you have to first extract the pistol, and then shift your grasp into firing mode. That permits Mr. Murphy lots of opportunity to work his magic.
Also, I hope that Taurus's quality-control gremlin has never touched your new pistol.
I suggest that you need to put at least 500 rounds through it, before you can confidently carry it for defense.
I just knew that sooner or later, someone would buy a Taurus curve.
Nice to see someone take a chance on a unique and unusual product, especially a Taurus. Get ready for the blitz of Taurus haters! I bet your post turns into 4-5 pages at least!
Range report (be advised I'm a Taurus lover... 8 Tauri in my family)... But oh.... Read on
I took her to the outdoor range with some Winchester "train and defend" D 380 95 gr JHP ammunition. I set up at 21'
Of course I broke down the gun and cleaned and lubed it. It was surprisingly clean and lubed lightly when I broke it down... Not full of gunk at all
After only 17 rounds I noticed the extractor retaining pin was coming out of the top of the slide (see pics)
I called Taurus, a nice gent emailed me a fedex shipping label and off it went back for repair.
I have five Taurus revolvers and this is my fifth semi-auto (I've sold a couple)... And this is the third gun to go back to the factory.
Still love 'em but it's getting a bit old... Range report later! Once I have a chance to really try it!
Oh... And yes... They said they forgot to stamp the caliber on the barrel and they will be giving me a new barrel! Whoops... At least they knew about that
Enjoy the pics! (Yes... The plastic case is curved too)
Also-- it (the curve) fits in my Ace pocket holster (I usually carry my keltec p-32 in it) but it fits the curve quite well... This is a stock pic only but the holster I have
Last edited by 2a; 03-31-2015 at 10:16 PM.
Extractor retaining pin, I think you mean. . If I were Taurus I'd look into a roll pin, or staking slots.
You seem to be handling it quite well. I've seen other reviews and the little pistol did quite well for it's intended purpose. The shots you did get off look pretty good, let us know about a further range review when you get it back.
I want to know about the vertical stringing of your shots.
Is that you, or is it the pistol?
At seven yards, there shouldn't be that much vertical dispersion.
I'm sorry for you, that the Taurus gremlins seem to have gotten to your pistol.
That pin should not have come out.
In a perfect world, the pin would be tapered, and inserted from the bottom of the slide so it couldn't rise up like that.
I'm trying desparately to learn to shoot with both eyes open (and not have to shoot left handed)
I also was shooting with my EDG (every day glasses) with bifocals... vs my shooting glasses (which have different prescription in bifocal... To give me arms length focus for the front sight)
So... I believe it is me... It's me
I will sight-in laser later... I was just hoping today to put 50 rds through it to begin breaking in.
Thanks for the photos, good luck with the fix.
2a: No matter what you do about your handedness versus your eyedness, do not use different, shooting-specific glasses when practicing with your defensive weapon.
When the save-your-life moment comes, you will be wearing your everyday glasses, so it is best to train with what you normally wear.
If you practice the Weaver stance (rather than, for instance, the isosceles), you can shoot right-handed and left-eyed by just pressing your right cheek (or ear) hard against your right shoulder.
This brings your left eye down, in line with your pistol's sights.
Try it. It may work for you.
Fortunately (I think), my focal length is changing enough lately that my next pair of bifocals may actually work for shooting, too.
After only 17 rounds I noticed the extractor retaining pin was coming out of the top of the slideHaters? It's rather obvious that this company has some serious quality control issues. What if the damn thing comes apart while your life may depend on it? Sorry not for me. Why even take that chance? If they made such a great product there wouldn't be that many issues with them and or so called "haters". People have the freedom to buy what they choose, let the buyer beware. Forums such as this are kind of like a "consumer reports" on firearms. I own many different brands of handguns. Yet, I would never buy one that is of dubious quality. Or recommend that others do so. Kind of like buying a vehicle with faulty wheel studs. This is not intended to be a tit for tat argument or a "my gun is better than yours" type of thing. Buying a firearm for personal self defense is a serious thing. I guess what it all boils down to is how much do you really value your life or that of a loved one to depend on something that has a questionable reputation?And this is the third gun to go back to the factory.
1. People use the term "haters" when they don't have a viable rebuttal to the criticism offered. Rather than support the criticized object, which they can't, they descend into an ad hominem attack against the persons who see real flaws and who point them out.*
2. About glasses: At close, save-your-life range, you do not need to see anything clearly! This is not a "hit the bullseye in the X-ring" game. You're going for a generalized, slightly-higher-than-center-of-mass area. Your normal glasses are good enough for self-defense, no matter what they are. Myopic eyes with no glasses at all are sufficient for close-range self-defense. (And while you're at it, I strongly suggest practicing at seven yards with no glasses at all.)
*There is, of course, another layer to this story: "When you criticize the gun (car, house, vacation) I've chosen, you are criticizing me! You are attacking my ego. And since my gun is so tied up in my own concept of my masculinity, you seem to me to be criticizing the size and functionality of my, um, male member."
Do they all curve in the same direction?

Tar & Roses Shiraz
Additional Cases: $0
- The Tar and Roses label is quite a unique partnership between two passionate winemakers who had a vision to bring the best of Heathcote and other remote Victorian outposts. With over 30 years experience Don Lewis is the driving force behind this boutique label who makes wine alongside Narelle King, a partnership that has produced the kind of wines that are both imbued with masculinity and femininity. This is so typical of the region showing red berry and anise aromas with a palate that's broad and savoury with hints of chocolate. Lovely balance and full of fine tannins on the finish. 90
Appearance: Savoury characters and rich chocolate combined with a confit of caramalised vegetables. Well balanced with beautiful fine tannins, long rich and flowing.
Nose: Sweet red berries and star anise, fennel and black licorice.
Palate: Deep burgundy with vibrant pink.
James Halliday (2010 Vintage) says:"
A fragrant bouquet of fresh blackberry, sage, violets and a lick of charry oak are on display; the medium to full-bodied palate is fleshy, and the zesty acidity reveals red fruit highlights alongside some fairly serious drying tannins; food in the form of protein is a necessity here.
Best Drinking: To 201992
James Halliday (2009 Vintage) says:"
Medium red-purple; it is possible to have an elegant, medium-bodied, fragrant wine from Heathcote with mid-range alcohol; the wine has fresh red cherry and plum fruit on the bouquet and palate, some spicy nuances and fine tannins. Waiting for you to open it whenever the mood takes you.
Best Drinking: 201993
Tyson Stelzer (2009 Vintage) says:"
It is one of the profound contradictions of the wine world that such refined, finely textured and beautifully crafted Heathcote shiraz can be snatched for as little as $19. At a refreshing 13.5%, its poised black plums and liquorice give voice to notes of pepper and game.Wine Taste Edition 29: Ausgust 29, 201193
James Halliday (2008 Vintage) says:"
Clear and bright colour, less dense than the '07; a very lively, spicy light- to medium-bodied shiraz, the red and black cherry fruit with a twist of licorice; fine tannins to close.Australian Wine Companion 2011 201093
Tyson Stelzer (2008 Vintage) says:"
Yes, all the hype is well directed and this is a more than worthy successor to the much-exalted 2007. Liquorice, black plums, cherries and wood spice coalesce in a textural, supple palate that weaves dark fruits and controlled oak together seamlessly.94
Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh (2008 Vintage) says:"
The 2007 was a stellar wine and this 2008 gets better and better, the longer it rests in the bottle. Great value here. Tonnes of enjoyment to be had here. It tastes of blackberry and sandalwood and earth, and from the instant it hits your mouth to the moment you swallow, it's all about dark-fruit flavour. Yummo. The aftertaste is an amalgam of eucalypt, spice and toasty oak, though the oak is as sophisticated as it is underplayed. A generous wine with widespread appeal.The Big Red Wine Book 2010/11 201092
James Halliday (2007 Vintage) says:"
Dense purple-red; a very complex wine, with 7% cabernet sauvignon from the Strathbogie Ranges; has the intense plum, blackberry and licorice of Heathcote, the cabernet adding to the structure and lengthAustralian Wine Companion 2010 200995
Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh (2007 Vintage) says:"
This shocked us with just how good it was - and at what price. It's made by Don Lewis and his winemaking partner Narelle King. It's absolutely bloody marvellous. It tastes of blackberries, gunsmoke, minerals and eucalypt, and it carries an understated version of meaty complexity. What it really has is lovely flavour, purity and length - outstandingly so for a wine at this price. This is fresh and rich and plainly gorgeous.The Big Red Wine Book 2009/10 200993
James Halliday (2006 Vintage) says:"
Bright and juicy blueberry fruits, with a hint of briar, and some attractive lifted florals; good flavour and weight.Australian Wine Companion 2009 200890

In context with IT security it is suggested to encrypt data on portable devices like USB-sticks, so if they get lost the confidential data does remain secret.

EPA Puts Some Greenhouse-Gas Rules on Hold
WASHINGTON—The Obama administration, facing complaints from businesses who balked over the disclosure of what they see as confidential business information, on Monday said it would delay until as late as 2014 a measure to force companies to reveal the amount of fuel and solvents associated with greenhouse-gas emissions.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said it was not backing down from the first-ever rules to force companies to reveal the amount of greenhouse-gas emissions from each individual factory or power plant. Those rules took hold this year, with the first annual reports due to the EPA by March 2011.
But the agency said it would give businesses until Aug. 31, 2011, to disclose the factors used in calculating greenhouse-gas emissions. The agency also said it may give companies until as late as March 2014 to make such disclosures of "inputs"—such as coal—to emissions calculations. The action follows complaints from polluters who bristled at sharing the confidential business information.
"Issues like this have been sensitive," said Jeff Holmstead, a former Bush administration EPA official who is now a partner at Bracewell & Giuliani. "In some industrial operations, the amount of fuel you use...people consider that kind of information competitive," he said.
Besides coal- and gas-fired power plants, other industries that could have been affected are chip makers, which use perfluorocarbons, or pfcs, in their industrial processes.
The EPA's decision marks a retreat from five months ago, when the agency proposed treating the data as public information that could not be shielded from scrutiny. Companies will still have to report the total greenhouse-gas emissions from each facility and keep records on hand of the amount of fuel associated with those emissions.
In 2009, the EPA finalized the greenhouse-gas regulations, which force an estimated 10,000 large emitters to publicly reveal the quantity of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. The EPA has said the information will provide a better understanding of the sources of emissions and guide policies to reduce emissions.
