Enhanced Foods: Healthier?
Cruise the aisles of most supermarkets and you're likely to see extraordinary health claims screaming out at you from every shelf. Heart-healthy cereals. Yogurt with plant sterols. Diet cola with vitamins. Even the baddest foods on the block seem to want you to believe that they've reformed.
It's true that many of us are not getting enough of the nutrients we need most to fight off the diseases that top the post-40 worry list. One USDA study found that women over 40 don't get enough vitamin B6, dietary fiber, calcium, or zinc. And we're borderline deficient in copper, phosphorous, thiamine, and iron — nutrients that may help ward off cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and more.
Certain fortified foods have indeed bettered our health — usually when the added nutrient is difficult to get elsewhere (iodized salt, milk with vitamin D, and cereal enhanced with folic acid come to mind). But don't let this sway you into thinking that supplementing your diet with souped-up foods will necessarily help. The added nutrients in soft drinks, refined cereal, candy bars, and other foods in the nutritional reject bin won't make them the stars that nutrient-dense whole foods already are. In addition, the modified foods may put you at risk for damaging overdoses of certain nutrients. "Women who are not menstruating can get too much iron, for instance," says Kristen D'Anci, PhD, of the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. And too much iron may be linked to heart disease.
So what foods are the best bets for keeping us healthy as we age — and which are just masquerading as disease fighters? Read on.
To Prevent Cancer
Forgo: Everything from energy bars to sugary juice drinks that claim added antioxidants.
Feast on: Broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts, bok choy, and other members of the cabbage family: These have isothiocyanates, which help prevent and fight cancer. Aim for two cups a week, or about a one-third cup serving per day. Garlic (try for two to three cloves a week) and green tea (three to five cups per day) may help reduce the risk of colon cancer, says Karen Collins, MS, RD, nutrition adviser for the American Institute for Cancer Research, in Washington, D.C.
Whole-grain foods may also help by diluting the concentration of carcinogens in the digestive tract and reducing elevated estrogen levels that can contribute to breast cancer. Aim for at least three servings a day: A serving is about a half cup of brown rice or whole-grain pasta, or one slice of bread.
Bottom line: "Natural foods work with one another to protect health by providing you with a variety of phytochemicals that occur naturally and act on different mechanisms," Collins says. "When you're getting nutrients from whole foods, it's not a matter of one plus one equals two — it's one plus one equals three, or even five."
To Lose Weight
Forgo: Weight-loss shakes and bars with added vitamins and minerals; ice cream sandwiches boasting added fiber.
Feast on: Fruits, vegetables, and high-protein foods such as beans or legumes. "Look for foods that are high in volume, that satisfy your appetite with fewer calories," says David J. A. Jenkins, MD, of the University of Toronto.
Bottom line: "We have to do a better job of weight control in this country," Collins says. "And one of the best ways to do this is to eat a diet that's high in fiber." But beware of foods with added fiber — there isn't a lot of proof that the types of fibers typically used offer the same health benefits as fiber that occurs naturally.
To Prevent and Control Diabetes
Forgo: Beverages, snack bars, and other processed foods that claim to be "low-glycemic-index."
Feast on: Truly low-glycemic-index foods, which are digested slowly and therefore produce only small fluctuations in blood glucose and insulin levels. Beans, lentils, nuts, and most vegetables are good bets. Soy milk and tofu have proteins that may help reduce urinary protein losses in people with diabetes.
Bottom line: Sticking to a plant-based diet that is rich in low-glycemic-index foods can help control diabetes and reduce risk for other conditions, such as heart disease.
To Prevent Heart Disease
Forgo: Cereals with added potassium and fiber; juice, yogurt, or margarine supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids and plant sterols.
Feast on: Fish. Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are naturally rich in the omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce blood pressure and may help keep arteries clear. Pumpkin seeds are high in magnesium, which may help lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. Dry roasted or raw nuts are a good stand-in for meat because they contribute less saturated fat to your diet. And for cholesterol control, go with whole grains yet again. "Use barley as a substitute for white rice," Jenkins says. "It has beta-glucan, which can keep cholesterol down."
Bottom line: A plant-based diet naturally limits the amount of artery-clogging saturated fat you consume. If you find that diet alone is not controlling your cholesterol sufficiently, then you may want to put orange juice with added plant sterols on the menu — these sterols can help lower cholesterol and may be even more effective than a statin, Collins says. Keep portions in moderation, though — plant sterols can potentially reduce the absorption of other fat-soluble vitamins in that meal, plus the calories in the juice add up fast.
To Prevent Cognitive Decline
Forgo: Beverages — and potato chips — enhanced with ginseng and B vitamins, and snack bars with isoflavones.
Feast on: Blueberries, cranberries, and strawberries, for their anthocyanidins; wine, grape juice, and grapes for resveratrol; and dark chocolate for epichatechin — all phyto chemicals that are beneficial in fighting age-related cognitive decline, such as memory loss. The B12 in nonfat dairy products, and in lean meat and fish, also boosts brain function. Soy contains isoflavones, which have been shown in some studies to mimic the cognitively helpful effects of estrogen in the brain. Seasonings may also help: Research has shown that the compounds in turmeric can have a positive impact on cognitive health.
Bottom line: "Diets that promote good cardiovascular health also promote good brain health," D'Anci says. "Your brain is dependent upon blood flow and blood glucose. If you have vascular problems, you aren't getting adequate nutrients to the brain." Modeling your diet on the Mediterranean or traditional Japanese diet may yield great results for your heart and brain. "Both have foods that are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants," D'Anci says.
To Prevent Osteoporosis
Forgo: Calcium-fortified juice and pasta.
Feast on: Dairy products that are low in fat and fortified with vitamin D. If you're lactose intolerant, go for soy milk fortified with calcium and D. Try to get three servings a day of either. (Vitamin D is critical in helping your body absorb calcium. You get it naturally from sunlight, but using sunscreen and being indoors may keep you from getting enough.) You also need vitamin K, which works with D to build bones, so include dark leafy greens and fruits like kiwi, blackberries, blueberries, and grapes in the week's meals.
Bottom line: Many of us think that bone health is only about getting 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams of calcium a day. But Robert P. Heaney, MD, professor of medicine at Creighton University, in Omaha, adds a caveat. "We need calcium, certainly," he says. "But the body can't use the calcium properly if we are lacking other nutrients."
To Prevent Eye Problems
Forgo: Peanut butter enhanced with omega-3 fatty acids; juices with added vitamins or beta-carotene.
Feast on: Spinach, kale, collard greens, and fish. While there aren't hard-and-fast numbers for how much of them you should consume for optimum eye health, it's safe to say that loading up on leafy greens and getting at least two servings of fish per week is a great insurance policy overall, and may decrease your risk of macular degeneration.
Bottom line: "People who eat large amounts of fish and other foods with omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, and zeaxanthin have a reduced risk of macular degeneration," says Emily Y. Chew, MD, of the National Eye Institute at the National Institutes of Health. Turns out carrots, despite their reputation, aren't the best bets for your eyes. "There's a little lutein in carrots, but you can get more from dark green leafy vegetables," Chew says.
Decoding Food Labels
Foods labeled as addressing a specific need in the diet fall into various categories. Here's a quick guide to the labels.
Foods that have not been modified in any way, such as produce, fish, meats, and whole grains. They set the standard against which other foods are measured.
Foods that are processed, such as wheat when it gets turned into white flour. Nutrients are often lost along the way.
Foods in which a nutrient lost in processing has been added back in. For example, the B vitamins in wheat get lost when it is processed into flour. Adding B vitamins back in classifies the fl our as "enriched."
Foods to which nutrients that don't occur naturally have been added during processing. Examples are flour with added folic acid, milk with vitamin D, and salt with iodine.
Plant-based foods that have been genetically modified.

"This is the 2nd year to make this. We love it!! As mentioned by rdooley65, I cut the calories by using fat free evap milk. I also use 1/2 box of cake mix. You really don't need so much mix. And yes, to Angel-Food on the 1st of Jan, you MUST used the pumpkin PIE FILLING!!"
"I will be making this with a sugar free came mix, sugar blend and fat free evaporated milk and 0 Cal butter spray, for Thanksgiving. Just a little healthier."

The Rebels have made huge strides under first-year coach Hugh Freeze, a win from bowl eligibility after going 2-10 in 2011. QB Bo Wallace leads an Ole Miss offense averaging 413.2 ypg, including 247.6 passing. Meanwhile, LSU's offense has finally gained a long-sought balance with QB Zach Mettenberger, who has thrown for 571 yards, 3 TDs and no INTs the last two games. AROUND THE LEAGUE After becoming bowl eligible with a 27-26 win at Ole Miss last week, Vanderbilt will go to bowl games in back-to-back seasons for the first time ever. Eight SEC teams are currently bowl eligible. Missouri and Ole Miss need one more win to get there, while Tennessee and Arkansas each need two more wins. Auburn and Kentucky have been eliminated. LSU (4-2) would win a three-way tie with Alabama and A&M in the SEC West at 6-2 if LSU wins out, A&M beats Missouri and Alabama loses to Auburn. With all three teams having beat each other, the first viable tiebreaker is best divisional record. LSU and A&M would both be 5-1, eliminating Alabama (4-2). The next tiebreaker would be to head-to-head, with the Tigers going to the SEC Championship Game because they beat the Aggies. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Report: Woman charged in fatal hit-run of DeLand teen found dead
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 10:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 10:14 p.m.
A woman who struck two 14-year-old girls in March near DeLand, killing one, was found dead in her home Monday morning, apparently after committing suicide, a Volusia County sheriff's spokesman said.
Danielle Halverson, 50, of DeLand was charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving death, leaving the scene of a crash involving injury and tampering with evidence in connection with the March 17 hit-and-run accident that left 14-year-old Juliana Hobbs dead and 14-year-old Rachel Russell with injuries.
Halverson had admitted to Florida Highway Patrol investigators that she hit the girls after losing control of her car while reaching for a cellphone.
Halverson was found dead in her South Ridgewood Avenue home Monday morning after deputies made a well-being check, said sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson.
A caller said Halverson had been depressed recently and making suicidal statements and he was worried because he had been unable to make contact with her.
Deputies and paramedics arrived at the scene, entered the residence and found Halverson in a bedroom, unresponsive and with no pulse. Paramedics began CPR and Halverson was transported by ambulance to Florida Hospital-DeLand, where she was pronounced dead at 11:39 a.m., Davidson said.
Davidson said based on the circumstances, lack of injury and a note left by Halverson, the death is being treated as a suicide.
"I was told it was an overdose of some sorts," said Juliana's sister, Courtney Meyer.
"I just feel numb right now. It's just a sad ending to a sad story."

On Sunday, the week after the final Park Silly Sunday Market of the year, Main Street was without the vendor booths, the concerts and the food stands that the Silly Market brings.
It was the first Sunday without the Silly Market since June, besides the weekend of the Park City Kimball Arts Festival, and there were crowds on the street nonetheless.
At Silverado, a jewelry and accessories store, business was up from a typical Sunday when the Silly Market is operating. But at Buona Vita, an Italian restaurant closer to the Silly Market's lower Main Street location, the opening hours were reduced to reflect the end of the season.
The two places on Sunday illustrated the broad impact of the Silly Market on business up and down Main Street as City Hall and the Silly Market organizers prepare for a critical round of negotiations about the future of the market.
Other businesses on Sunday offered a range of opinions, with some south of Heber Avenue reporting solid sales on the first Sunday after the Silly Market.
Thomas Gibson, the owner of Silverado, said it would be ideal for his business if the Silly Market was located somewhere else besides Main Street. He said the worst Sunday between early July and the end of August was the day the Silly Market extended up Main Street to make room for the Tour of Utah bicycling race.
"Traffic is better, sales are better with the market not there," Gibson said.
He said he would "not be sorry" if the Silly Market relocated to another spot. Gibson said Silverado customers are not as apt to visit Main Street on a Sunday when the Silly Market is happening.
"They avoid Sunday afternoon here because of the Park Silly, the parking, the crowds," he said.
Another store on upper Main Street, the jewelry and home décor seller Pine, indicated sales climbed perhaps 80 percent on the first Sunday after the Silly Market. Kim Spears, a staffer who works on Sundays, said the Silly Market is good for Park City even though sales dip at the store.
"I've actually had more traffic in today, definitely more sales," she said. "It's great to be busy."
At Buona Vita, meanwhile, the restaurant is no longer open for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays for the fall. During the summer, lunches are served on the weekends.
Paola Bello, one of the owners of the restaurant, said lunch and dinner business is good on Sundays during the Silly Market. She expects Sunday dinner crowds will be smaller with the Silly Market ended.
"If you ask me, I prefer to have the Silly Market. It brings people," she said, adding, "It's a good day, Sundays."
There have been diverse opinions about the impact of the Silly Market since its 2007 debut. Some of the brick-and-mortar businesses claim that the Silly Market has funneled customers away. There have also been questions about whether the Silly Market crowds spread their spending to businesses on the upper reaches of Main Street.
The Silly Market organizers have made operational changes over the years, including adding a farmers market outside the Main Street post office, meant to attract more people up the street.
But Main Street leaders are crafting a package of additional alterations they want from the Silly Market. Some of them could be dramatic. Details have not been made public. Negotiations between City Hall and the Silly Market are anticipated later in the fall. Main Street, represented by the Historic Park City Alliance, will be heavily involved as well.
A three-year contract between the Silly Market and City Hall to hold the event on Main Street expires this year. There are two two-year options. The deadline for either side to decline to exercise the option is Nov. 15.

Choosing a Financial Adviser
Three things every woman over 40 needs: a doctor who returns calls, a brutally frank hairdresser, and a trustworthy financial adviser. Guess which is toughest to find?
It's not that there's a shortage of peddlers eager to offer their two cents in exchange for yours. The number of people billing themselves as personal financial advisers more than doubled from 2000 to 2004, according to federal statistics. But a staggering number of these apparent experts are simply salespeople for insurance or brokerage firms. Or they cater to the ultrarich, charging fees that mere mortals would prefer to spend on, say, a round-the-world cruise. So, should you bother? Actually, yes.
In our 20s and 30s, managing money ranked far below landing a raise or getting a mortgage. After 40, complications like college tuition, aging parents, and upcoming retirement make us yearn for shrewd guidance. Before she turned 40, Brenda Rinard, a manager at Stanford University, was struck by the realization that she was at her peak earning powers, and that she'd probably outlive her husband. Rinard, now 44, and her husband found a financial adviser who recommended they buy a house instead of the stocks they'd earmarked. Good call: The house has nearly doubled in value; the stocks have tanked.
Everyone can benefit from a checkup, whether it's advice on one investment or on your whole financial picture. But choose your adviser carefully. Here's our gloss on some of the most alluring pickup lines — and the best way to respond.
1. "The first one's free."
It works for drug dealers, and it works for some financial advisers. If you keep coming back for more, both stand to profit. But they don't necessarily have your best interests at heart. This offer is best translated as "Let me have an hour of your precious time to make a sales pitch." If the person's title is "financial consultant," "financial adviser," or "investment consultant," he or she is most likely a registered representative (translation: salesperson) for a brokerage whose priority is to sell stocks and earn commissions.
Likewise, a "chartered financial consultant" is an insurance agent. At a "free consultation," she may offer valuable information, but she's likely to discover — surprise! — that you need insurance. And she may suggest policies (permanent or whole-life, the kind that include insurance and investment components) to solve almost any problem: Tax issues? This policy has tax advantages! Want to retire? This one has an annuity!
Sarah Robertson, 40, an emergency room physician in Sacramento, California, went to a free meeting with a consultant her colleagues had raved about: "He kept insisting on selling me life insurance. I kept explaining that I didn't have kids. He just wouldn't listen."
The Comeback
"How are you paid?" Brokers and insurance agents earn commissions. Financial planners can charge fees (hourly, flat, or retainer), work for commissions, or take a percentage of the assets they manage. Hybrid, or fee-based, advisers may receive both fees and commissions.
Any professional can provide good advice, and a commission-based adviser could cost less. (You pay an average of .72 percent of assets in commission-based accounts; .89 percent in fee-based accounts; 1 percent or more annually for fee-only advisers.) The real danger doesn't lie in paying commissions or fees, but in failing to understand what might motivate an adviser's recommendations.
2. "Let me worry for you."
Women seem especially vulnerable to this comforting line. In a study of people who bought mutual funds, for example, 32 percent of women (and 23 percent of men) said they relied solely on a professional's recommendation, without doing any additional research, according to the Consumer Federation of America, a watchdog group.
Even with a great adviser, you need to ask questions, read up on anything recommended, and look at the level of risk. If you cede control, you're likely to regret it.

VIDEO: A family of foxes is rescued by Humane Wildlife Services before their home is demolished
One homeowner learned that you should check for living creatures before tearing down a sheds.
A family of foxes was living underneath the floorboards of a shed in the backyard.
The residents had planned to take down the old shed until the found the family of eight. Then they decided to figure out a way to keep the family safe before tearing down their temporary home.
Humane Wildlife Services took the job and pulled each of the floorboards up to collect the five-week-old babies. While mom watched nearby, the group took the little kits and put them in a box so their mother could easily find them.
After they left the area, the mother fox came back to collect her babies and nudged them on their way towards a new home.

Gah, you're such a tease :P I can't wait to see the big reveal of the pips quilt! Wavy quilting is awesome - I used it over the summer in a quilt, and I was shocked at how quickly it went. I might have to use it again on one of my next projects.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Generalized breast lumpiness is known under many different names, such as "fibrocystic disease" and "fibroid breasts." Many of these are misnomers since physicians and researchers now believe that these are just part of the breast changes which many women undergo throughout the various stages of their lives. Many physicians feel that this term has become a catch-all phrase for general breast lumpiness.
Fibrocystic lumpiness is also described as "ropy" or "granular" and seems to become more obvious as a woman approaches middle age and the milk producing glandular tissue gives way to softer, fatty tissue. However, women with lumpy breasts may experience many other benign breast conditions.
Lumpiness in the breasts may make actual lumps harder to distinguish. Thus, it is important that women with lumpy breasts perform regular breast self-examinations and have regular physical examinations, including mammography as indicated by the National Cancer Institute or American Cancer Society guidelines. Knowing the normal shape and feel of your own breasts is important, especially when performing examinations to detect any unusual breast changes.

text: 1biggun, I was curious as to how much the threads would be effected on a remington barrel if it was rethreaded to 1"-14tpi since 1-14 taps and dies are about half of what 1-16 ones are. I chucked up a section of 1.25" 4150, took a skim cut and threaded to .009" deep with the lathe set at 16tpi which would be about what is left on the remington barrel turned to 1". Then changed the threads to 1-14 and started over. This was just a quick test, so I didn't grind a new bit and just used an indexible bit which had a slight radius to the tip. You wouldn't normally use one for threading since it would leave the bottem of the "V" rounded....which it did and you can see if you click on the pic. But, we're wondering about the tops of the threads, so it works just fine. Since the tip is wider it would also increase the criss cross areas. If you look real close you can see where the old threads crossed the new. Cut with a proper bit, I don't think it's an issue.

1. You've got: stray "goat" or "hag" hairs
As we age, we can blame a spike in testosterone for those irritating strays that crop up on our chins, cheeks, upper lips and even ears. And if they seem to appear overnight, well, that's because they often do. "The production of those strays is hormonally mediated, so they can grow very rapidly and literally pop out in a matter of hours," says Jeanine Downie, MD, a dermatologist based in Montclair, New Jersey. If your hag hairs (some of us deal with one recurrent stray; others get clusters) are darker than the color of your skin and very persistent, a few pros suggest ponying up for a series of laser treatments. Keep in mind, though, that because this growth is hormone driven, the hair may take longer to eliminate (e.g., 12 treatments versus eight—at $100 and up a pop) than growth elsewhere. If that seems a bit costly, experts say there is no reason not to pluck or shave. It gets the job done, at least temporarily. For shavers, Gervaise Gerstner, MD, consulting dermatologist for L'Oréal Paris, suggests the Tinkle Eyebrow Razor ($5; sallybeauty.com), a narrow, easy-to-handle razor that's unlikely to nick and safe to use anywhere on the face.
2. You've got: a graying bikini line
Shaving or waxing will still work effectively, though depilatories will most likely fall short, since a number of formulas aren't strong enough to dissolve coarse grays. For at-home waxers, we recommend strip-free kits, because they're better at yanking out coarse hair at the root (whereas strips can tear hair at the skin's surface). Try Bliss Poetic Waxing Kit ($48; blissworld.com). However, if it's the new hue, not the overgrowth, that bugs you, Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland, MD, a dermatologist based in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, suggests Betty Beauty ($13; bettybeauty.com), a pubic-hair dye that comes in nine shades, from brunette to blonde to (why not?) pink.
In the market for a more permanent solution? Laser hair removal is, alas, off the table, because laser light seeks melanin—and gray hair has none. But electrolysis is still a viable option, because it uses color-blind electric currents to zap the graying hair follicles. Expect to undergo a series of at least five sessions (average cost: $50–$150 each) spaced a couple of weeks apart. You will also need to have yearly touch-ups; the body is resilient (or defiant?) and will eventually sprout some new hair.
3. You've got: facial fuzz
Hormone swings tied to aging account for an increase in peach fuzz, usually on the cheeks and upper lip. If the hair on your face is fair and fine (or gray), you have a number of choices. You can wax, which removes hair for up to six weeks. However, waxing is not a good alternative if you use a retinoid cream, which thins the skin and makes it more apt to tear. A less irritating option in that case is threading, says Shobha Tummala, founder of Shobha hair-removal spas. This method literally utilizes a thread (not unlike one used for sewing) to yank hairs from their roots. Threading and waxing give similar results, and both also weaken follicles over time, making hair grow back finer and occasionally not at all. A third possibility (this one too is safe for retinoid devotees, provided they stop using their creams for 10 days before the procedure) is dermaplaning, in which a certified aesthetician -gently removes the top layer of skin—and any excess hair—with a surgical blade (cost: $90–$150 per treatment). This procedure is essentially a deep exfoliation (with no downtime) and will leave you both fuzz free and radiant. Finally, for immediate, albeit short-lived, results, you can just pick up your razor and gently shave over fuzzy areas—or use a depilatory made for the face, such as Olay Facial Hair Removal Duo ($25; truthorhair.com), which works for fine hair. Results last about a week.

ZF-5931: Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Form - opening form tag
There is a small Bug (Problem) in the Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Form. With the current Helper it isnt possible to get the opening form tag only, like in the Zend_View_Helper_Form. So there is a difference in behavior. You are always getting opening and closing form-tag, even if you dont pass a $content to the function.
The Problem is line 73 to 75, where the $content var is set to '' if it is false. (these lines should be deleted)
It should be directly given to the Zend_View_Helper_Form instead. (same behavior)
Closing as a duplicate of ZF-5814

This 86 FLHTC that I just got together has more noise in the primary than I think it should have. I checked the chain and there is about 1/4" side play in the compensator sprocket. You can move the motor sprocket in and out 1/4 inch before it engages the ramps. I checked my manual and my parts book and all the parts that are supposed to be in there, are. When I ride it the compensator doesn't ratchet, but when I shut it off there is a rattle. It looks to me like the shaft extension is too long, but this is the one that was on the bike when I got it. I just doesn't look right.
Anybody got any ideas?

This is the 3rd set of the 130 watt KCs I've owned. The last 2 were on the 2011 Jeep Wrangler I traded for the 2015 Frontier. The lights are so bright I couldn't do without them when I off road. They are easy to install, high quality and really bright. Not to mention they look great on the Frontier bull bar.

Avi Dar was born in Kibbutz Karmei Yosef, an agricultural sub-society near Tel Aviv. Most of his childhood was spent on the quiet countryside where he worked harvesting fruits and vegetables with his family. "I love to do porn," Avi stated, "it makes me feel very comfortable with myself and I feel very sexy and attractive." But how would Avi be affected by his new found fame? Shortly after completing Men of Israel, Avi said, "I am sure I will stay down to earth like I am now." He may be aiming for down to earth, but it's clear that Avi is something from out of this world! It's no wonder he's become one of Lucas Entertainment's most popular stars. Just check out his latest scenes!
Guy has always dreamed of being a model, and shows off all his talents in MEN OF ISRAEL! The horsehung lanky stud loves to pound ass fast and hard, especially if his partner is cute and beautiful. He practices constantly, after all it's good for his health

He was raised in Tel Aviv since the age of six months.Growing up Jonathan loved the beach and traveled almost every weekend to the exotic and remarkable parts of Israel. But our naughty stud was always the bad ass even at a young age. Jonathan's mother frequented the hospital with him many times to cure a broken arm, leg or whatever the body part it was that time, because of if his fighting with other boys.Jonathan took to his education and studied a wide variety of topics in school for six years. He considers himself to be a Jewish atheist and loves the affection and audacity, which Israeli's own to themselves. Tel Aviv is the center of my life and has been for my whole life, says Jonathan, I believe that is one of the reasons that I am so open with my sexuality and with myself in general.With a lustful and carved body like his, it's a surprise that Jonathan's favorite food is pizza! He also loves to read; his most influential book is The Secret. Israeli's own Offer Nissim is his DJ of choice and Jonathan loves to relax and engage himself in the seductive sense of the sound. His other hobbies of desire include: clothes, shows, sexy underwear, gym, and of course sex. What turns Jonathan on the most? Honesty. Pure and simple.I must say that my biggest dream is to be known all over the world for what I do best. says Jonathan. And as you will soon see, this talent Jonathan Agassi speaks of is certainly fucking!

He has a well developed sensual side and loves to explore ityou'll see.

Inman named football coach at Topsail
Published: Thursday, June 27, 2013 at 10:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 27, 2013 at 10:27 p.m.
BURGAW | Wayne Inman was named the new head football coach for Topsail High School on Thursday night during a meeting of the Pender County Board of Education. Inman starts Aug. 1.
He replaced former head coach Bryan Davis, who resigned from the job in April.
Inman was previously the head coach at Fayetteville Terry Sanford, where he was let go after last season, his ninth as head coach of the Bulldogs.
He had a 43-63 record at Sanford, including a 7-5 mark in 2012 and a first-round 4A playoff loss.
Inman's best season was 2009 when the Bulldogs went 10-2, but were forced to forfeit all 10 victories because of a grade-changing scandal involving a player.
He also served as an assistant coach at Sanford and his high school alma mater, Hope Mills South View.
Inman is a member of the East Carolina football Hall of Fame after a standout career as an offensive lineman with the Pirates from 1977-80, which included third-team All-America honors in 1979 under coach Pat Dye.
Topsail had its second straight winning season last year, finishing third in the East Central Conference with a 7-4 record. Topsail will move from the 2A East Central Conference to the 3A/4A Mideastern Conference with the four New Hanover County schools and West and South Brunswick for the 2013-17 realignment.

NAVIGON questions and answers
If you drive using NAVIGON, you'll want the exact details. How to download updates, for example, or install additional maps or services, or how NAVIGON FreshMaps works. You'll find manuals, downloads and answers to your questions here.
Select a topic, or enter a keyword to restrict your selection.
- FreshMaps: New map cuttings for Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe for MN6
With every new map you receive many new details, updates and POI extensions. In spite of modern data compression methods, the storage space requirements of digital SD cards are increasing with every new version.
However, navigation devices using MobileNavigator 6 can only run with a 2 GB memory card.
Therefore, the European map for these devices has been separated in different cuttings which fit onto the provided 2 GB memory card. NAVIGON has developed the cuttings depending on the most common travelling profiles to make the choice of the map easier for you.
Just choose the cutting which matches your travelling behavior the best when you install the new map. If you are planning to travel another region during your journey, which is not covered by the cutting that you have installed, you are able to install another region via NAVIGON Fresh.
Which map is the right one for me?
A) The Northern Europe map covers the following countries:
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Vatican City

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: three novels. The first, 144 reasons not to commit suicide. The second, a very challenging sea voyage. The third, Southern Gothic.
Contents May Have Shifted by Pam Houston
I have mixed feeling about Houston; she can be brilliant and incredibly self-referential, sometimes simultaneously. This latest has similar qualities. It's one of those "fictions" that feature the peripatetic adventures of Pam, in search of "144 reasons not to commit suicide." We ricochet from location to location, some as close as Bolinas, others as far flung as New Zealand. That Pam gets around, partly for work, partly for solace, partly for adventure. Heartbreak is a driving force, and there's another relationship that's troubled but possible and eventually seems to work out. I read it at a bit of a remove but interested enough in the vivid descriptions and lively anecdotes to keep going. The chapters are often just a few pages, which makes it easy to pick up and put down.
The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan
Your essential moral dilemma: too many folks for survival. It's 1914 and plucky, realistic Grace finds herself in such a grisly situation. The cruise ship's gone down, along with her new husband, and rescue doesn't seem imminent. Supplies have run out, heavy seas threaten to swamp the craft, and not enough of those on board have been lost through attrition. There's a power struggle between a skilled but shadowed seaman and a strong-minded woman who's ready to take charge. We know from the start that Grace and two others have indeed survived, because they're in prison on murder charges. The tone of the book is "old-fashioned," at least to me, which is appropriate but a little off-putting and some excursions into philosophical or theological inquiries bogged me down a bit. Also, Grace's very qualities that enable her to last also make her less of a sympathetic character. Despite these cavils, I found it gripping.
A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash
Small-town Southern life can be difficult, especially if your brother, "Stump,'" is mute, your father can get violent, and your mother's taken up with a preacher who handles serpents. That's the tension young Jess faces daily and everything plays out to its inevitable tragic end when Stump dies in an attempt at healing at that very church. We hear from the local sheriff and the local witchy woman in alternate chapters as well. As the grim action unfolds we learn of other small-town secrets and how it's all related. Atmospheric and haunting.

Eco-Forum Global
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Eco-Forum Global
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionContribution by the Eco-Forum Global to a Successful Rio+20 Conference October 2011 The Eco-Forum Global is a China-based organization committed to creating effective dialogue and generating new paradigm and new actions to foster green development opportunities worldwide. For the past three years, the Eco-Forum Global has convened groups of committed people, enterprises and organizations from inside and outside China to engage in productive dialogue on green economy and sustainable development. New Future - Objectives of the Conference Rio+20 provides a unique opportunity for the world to review and complete the past 20 years of efforts on sustainable developments, and more importantly, to open up a new future. The world is facing unprecedented challenges and uncertainty. The eco-system is increasingly vulnerable and uncertain. Eco-security is becoming a top priority for governments, organizations, business and individuals. The existing development model that we are familiar with has not provided with any effective solutions to deal with the crisis. The reality is that the gap between the rich and poor, and the gap between who is in need and who has not are enlarging at faster pace. Human beings must demand a fundamental shift in paradigm of the ways we live our life, conduct our business and govern ourselves. We must have the courage to confront ourselves with the reality and face where we have failed. The next step is to reinvent the governance structure, take powerful actions, and make paradigm shift. We call for reaching authentic and sweeping consensus to live in a new world of eco-civilization. Green Development and Eco-civilization We advocate for ecological civilization. We are going beyond the industrialized civilization and moving into eco-civilization. This is a huge mission, as big as civilization changes. Eco-civilization represents a fundamental shift about how we live our daily life, how we conduct our business, and how we exist to the nature we live in. Countries of different origins and culture traditions are capable of making unique contributions to a new world of eco-civilization. Eco-civilization is the direction. We must create a new future, not just wait for something to fall on us. Opportunities Now Present - Green Economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication We are convinced that green economy should not be merely viewed as new ?tools? or new ?approaches? to fulfill the goals of sustainable development. Green economy, while people could differ on its definition, must be viewed as a powerful context in which we carry out economic activities. Green economy offers operable models and frameworks to grow innovative and sustained efforts. Green economy is the pathway to eliminate poverty and to develop harmonious relationship with the environment we are living within. Green economy demands creativity. Green economy is way more than simple branding or slogans. It is innovative act. It is a promise to create and deliver. In China and many other places in the world, local economies are experimenting very interesting new models for sustainable development. We need to aggregate, exchange, expand and re-innovate all these best practices from local to global. Green economy demands collaboration at an unprecedented level we probably have never seen. There is no shortage of new approaches, new access, and new models for us to adopt. We need to become experts in building trusts and finding partners through formal or informal dialogues. Green economy itself demands opportunities to grow suitable growth models. We have discovered some exciting stories where new technologies, which would have not been adopted by maturing business in other countries, were successfully launched by entrepreneurial and its transnational business partner. The unique market opportunities available in developing countries make it possible and even easier to grow green technologies. The experiences and efforts that are being made in countries like Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa should be given much bigger attention. Mature models and experiments should be pruned for implementation at bigger scales. In the end, taking on Green Economy demands courage. Green economy is not immune from risk of failures or mistakes. Excessive worries or debates about what is fair and what is not block actions and cause delays. Fear of blame and fear of failures are making gaps bigger and bigger. It is time to let go of complaints and suspicions and re-honor our commitments. New Environment to Invent - Institutional Framework It is unthinkable that we can produce the outcome intended by Rio+20 if good governance and strong leadership are lacking. We need an innovative governance system. The experience of the past twenty years proves that non-governmental organizations and other major groups must be given much bigger space and right of voice, which is determinative to the effectiveness of the new institutional framework. At the very basic levels, eco-security must be realized through effective governance and enforcement. Eco-security transcends national borders and demands full efforts at local, regional and national levels. At the global level, we advocate for establishing new international structures to implement the sustainable development goals. We are open and are willing to support people who make irrevocable promises and hold themselves accountable to courageous, responsible and measurable results. Whether the new structure is in the form of World Environmental Organization, or United National Sustainable Development Council, the key is to empower the new organization to adopt and supervise the execution of new initiatives. Fundamentally, green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication are closely tied to the institutional framework because any meaningful changes require a new environment to be provided by strong leadership. Inter-governmental working mechanisms at regional, national and global levels will continue to operate at higher level of productivity. For example, the governmental organizations must provide pro-innovation legal environment, enforce high regulatory standards. The leadership at local, regional and national levels must at least focus on the following aspects: ? Promising market and accessibility. ? Social stability ? Social, economic or environmental systems generating demands or needs of applications ? Adequate Information and proper access to Information ? Educated workforce with proper skills and appropriate awareness ? Clear economic development priorities Beyond Rio+20 What is more important than Rio+20 is what we do and what we deliver after Rio+20. We need to generate ongoing breakthroughs and honor the legally binding commitments we all have made. It is critical that the Outcome Document must set mandates for what each of us is going to accomplish beyond Rio+20. The challenges we are facing are enormous. We need to dramatically free up huge creativity and energy from the vast population on the earth. To have sustainable development job done, we must ongoing re-educate ourselves and empower new generations to come. In the pathway of green development, we must keep turning the new ideas into true success. We need to be courageous in front of failures, need to learn how to work with teams, mobilize all resources and promote our ideas and commitments. True innovation and entrepreneurship go beyond good ideas and bursts of passion. With re-commitment firmly in hand, we must group together much more closely and we need to exchange ideas much faster and much more efficiently. We are committed to be a hub for partnership and foundation for eco-civilization. We are open and committed to partner with all stakeholders to powerfully deliver the results.

Pretty gross. And pretty amazing. And chances are pretty high you've heard Ralston's story. But did you know that Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle was shooting a film about it in Moab, and as recently as this past spring? (We're thinking, maybe 60% of readers may have heard...)
127 Hours stars James Franco as Ralston, and the Moab landscape stars as Utah's finest. The film is set to hit theaters on November 5. Check out the new trailer for a glimpse of what you might expect.

Gardening Articles: Health :: Cooking
Collards and Kale (page 2 of 4)
by Deborah Wechsler
How to Grow
Both of these hardy greens grow best in cool weather and rich soil, with plenty of moisture. In general, sow seeds 1/2 inch deep six weeks before you want to plant them in the garden. Space plants two to 2 1/2 feet apart and feed lightly. Mulch helps to keep soil cool and moist.
Kale and collards can survive winter temperatures as low as 5° to 10° F if they are gradually acclimatized, but sudden cold snaps can be deadly. Kale is somewhat more cold hardy, and collards are a little more heat tolerant.
In cooler regions, plant either in spring for a midsummer crop or anytime up to midsummer for harvest in fall to early winter. Says Rob Johnston of Johnny's Selected Seeds in Albion, Maine, "We plant kale from late June to late July and eat it until Christmas." They could follow the same schedule with collards, too.
In the South, late summer is the best time to plant. Here in North Carolina, I should start seed in August, but I tend to forget during the dog days. So I often buy my plants in early fall. I've had success using polyester row covers, which will keep kale and collards growing much later into the fall, plus keep pests away. We eat the greens into winter, and, in a good year, until March when they bolt into flower.
Thelma Reaves is a veteran gardener in Ayden, the home of the North Carolina Collard Festival held every September. Collards are prominent in her three- to four-acre market garden. She's nearer the ocean and her climate is milder than mine, so she has a slightly different schedule. "In October I start seed outdoors in a protected spot, then transplant to the field in January," she says. By March she is selling greens from plants that keep cropping straight through summer and fall into the following spring when they finally bloom. But in hot, dry weather, "collards just aren't fit to eat," says Thelma.
Her method of fall-seeding collards for midwinter transplants can be tricky. If the plants are too small, they won't survive the cold. If too large, they flower prematurely in spring, a condition called vernalization. According to Doug Sanders, North Carolina State University Extension horticulturist, plants with more than six to eight leaves will vernalize. The area where spring collards may be fall-planted, says Sanders, stretches up the coast into New Jersey--about USDA Zone 7.
