As a responsible pet owner, seeing your dog in pain is as difficult for you as it is for your pet. It can be heartbreaking to witness your dog suffering since you can't get a vocal reply as to what is ailing him or her. Pain in an animal is hard to detect and takes an observant and educated pet parent to know the signs and signals of an ill dog. When in doubt, be sure to contact your local Rockford-area veterinarian as listed below or one closest to your home and get your pet diagnosed and treated.
Some signs of pain in a dog may be subtle while others are quite visible, such as difficulty getting up from a laying position, walking slowly, favoring a particular limb and inability to climb stairs. Most often, a dog may show signs of stiffness and discomfort first thing in the morning and after a nice, long nap. Common reasons your dog is suffering with pain can be due to arthritis, joint stiffness and loss of mobility. Such issues are more frequent in the senior-aged pet although any dog can be affected.
The sooner you can notice your dog is suffering with pain and discomfort, the quicker you can treat the condition and have a better prognosis for your pet. Whatever the cause of the pain, you can help your dog live life with more ease. You can get your pet moving again with less discomfort and inflammation of the limbs and joints. Exercise is crucial in alleviating such distress.
It does not mean that you should take your dog, in grave soreness, and run five miles down a track, up and down stairs or climb any hills. It is however important that your pet continue some type of exercise and playtime on a regular basis. Even though your pet is uncomfortable, if you avoid any type of activity, your dog will only get worse. Moderate exercise, short daily walks and daily play sessions for short periods will keep your pet happy and healthy.
You don't always need to drug your dog in order to help him or her live a happier, healthier life, pain-free. Your veterinarian may prescribe a medication or choose an all-natural supplement that can "grease" the old bones and joints. Other suggestions to help a pet in pain is to monitor the diet and avoid obesity. The more weight your pet carries around, the harder it will be on the joints. If you have concerns about weight loss, contact your veterinarian for a healthy weight loss plan for your pet.
Keep your dog warm if possible and encourage it to sleep on a warm, comfy bed rather than a hard floor area. Place the bed in a warm spot and provide blankets if your pet feels chilled. You would be amazed at how many dogs will find a way to cover themselves, especially the smaller breeds. You can try booties for the pet that will allow it, and restrain your dog to carpeted areas in the home.
Be an observant pet parent so that you can notice a pet in pain. Following the steps above can help to ease the discomfort and provide the long, happy life your dog deserves.

If you install the official Dropbox app it adds a "Dropbox" option to the share options in the standard Gallery app. There isn't an official Flickr app for Android at the moment, but there a number of 3rd party apps that allow you to upload from your phone to Flickr, I haven't tred any of them so can't give you a recommendation, you should be able to find ...
Go to: Settings -> Accounts and sync Do you see a Flickr account there? If so, either make sure you are using that account with the Gallery or try deleting that account and trying the Gallery again.
One solution would in fact be using a specialized photo app: Fotor for Android.

Mobile operating systems have become a thing of passion for many people. An integral part of their life, much like religion was, and still is, for some. To be left without their phone they fill lost, disconnected and feeling left out of the grander scheme of things. If this is the case for you, you are likely reliant on your phone for many, if not most, activities throughout your day. Apple iOS, Google Android, and Microsoft's Windows Mobile, are likely something you've heard of or used. Each mobile operating system has its own perks and is marketed toward specific user types.
Apple's iOS is the most well-known, with it's hardware counterpart, it has become an icon, recognized by most people in the United States and many around the world. The operating system adheres to Apples closed-ecosystem designed they have become so well known for now. The iOS is functional, simple, intuitive, and offers more apps than you can shake a stick at. The applications must follow strict guidelines that Apple has put in place, or the application will not be accepted or even pulled from the Apple App Store if these guidelines are not followed. This ensures apps are generally functional, not scams, and shouldn't harm your phone or leave it open to attacks.
With the above mentioned information it can seem like a no brainer why the iOS would be the best option but because it is part of the Apple Eco-system it has limited customization. Positioning of the apps, wall paper, and app folders are about the extent of customization. If an application gets pulled down from your favorite developer, it could leave that developer without an app for days, weeks or indefinitely, and leave you with out updates or being able to get the app on new devices. Apple holds its own imagine in high regard and refuses to implement new ideas or features until they have deemed it worthy of integration. The iOS tends to be the last of the mobile operating systems to include new and useful features.
Google's Android operating system is the most used mobile operating system in the world. The software is open source and any manufacturer can put it on their phones, and developer can develop applications for free. There is no strict requirements or hacks that need to be done to get a newly developed app on your phone and you aren't limited to Google's Android Play Store. In terms of customization, Android is the best way to go. With dozens of launchers easily at your fingertips, with one click of a button you can make you phone look and feel like an iOS or Windows device, or you can go with a high-tech looking view you'd imagine a hacker having on his phone, or something that makes your phone bright pink with kittens playing in the background. There is literally something for everyone with Android.
Android, while offering many apps, and the most customization of any mobile device it does not offer the safety and quality of the iOS. While arguments can and have been made for safety and security of the iOS, as a whole it the Android OS by design offers more ways to be hacked or have something cause system wide instability. Malicious apps can take over the phone, sending text to your contacts on your behalf, lock you out of your phone, or stay silence as you provide some unknown person all of your personal information. Since Google believes in a free and open market, many of the apps are not held to a standard, with the belief that bad apps will fail by natural selection. Unfortunately this breeds a market of apps that, in many cases can be sub-par because the users, don't know any better, and the app hits the bar that was already lowered. While many apps for Android are amazing, you are likely to find more apps that don't work with your phone than you ever would with Apples iOS.
Windows Mobile:
Microsoft Windows Mobile 8 is the newest of the operating systems Microsoft has created for the mobile platform. With a focus on customization and the ability to do more in less time, it is a wonder it hasn't caught on more than it has. The operating system has tiles that offer a fair amount of information at a glance. Its most recent version being the pre-release windows 8.1 (due in June 2014) that offers more functionality upgrades than you might expect, and runs even smoother than its predecessor. The operating system is surprisingly simple, and yet offers high functionality. Android being the most difficult OS to dig down into, and iOS being revere for being user friendly, the Windows 8 Mobile version leaves its competition in the dust. Once you've set it up, and learned to use all the features it offers you can do more in less time than you've been conditioned to believe.
While the core functionality is good, and customization is great, the Windows 8 Mobile app store is like the Wild West. With a few official apps from big developers, there is a lack of the big apps you'd tend to see on its competition markets. Most apps are created by people or small groups to emulate the design or function of the big apps on other systems, many of which fall short by a large margin. At a glance you can find 5 YouTube apps, none made by Google, who owns YouTube, all of which have an odd feel. For most apps you'll finally settle for something that is "good enough" but you're unlikely to be happy with it.
How do you decide what you want or needed with a mobile device? The real answer is whatever best fits your life style. iOS is great for Apps and stability, its system is tried and true and tend to offer the best out of box experience. Android offers the most customization and you can make your phone truly your own. Windows offers a phone that you won't need to be glued to and just need a glance to find the update or text you want. There are many features each offer that were not covered in this article, and more research may be needed if you are testing the waters in the smart phone market for the first time, but with this information it should be clear which will be the most useful for your lifestyle.

I have a laptop with only one HDD and is impossible add other HDD. The feature "copies=2" of ZFS is the perfect solution for to add redundancy to my /home in the laptop.
I would like emulate the copies=2 option of ZFS with LVM (or other software if you prefer), for example 2 copies of each block of my /home partition.
In this HDD, I have other systems and I use habitually the laptop for testing a lot of new versions of OS, so I need continue using a standard MBR partition table and the changes must be in the partition level.
I will not use ZFS or btrfs for this. If you have other ideas, all are welcome :) .
Update: Like Gilles said, my idea only give me protection from invalid sectors and similar failures for a very limited time. Not for human errors, software bugs or mechanical/electronic failures of my HDD. This is the idea.

This Comment by the Committee on Nutrition of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition aims to provide a summary of the role of nutrition-related factors on obesity prevention in children ages 2 to 18 years. This Comment emphasizes that dietary interventions should be incorporated into a multidisciplinary strategy for obesity prevention. No single nutrient has been unequivocally associated with the development of obesity. Methodological limitations in study design and the complex nature of obesity must be taken into account when interpreting the association with reported dietary factors. Energy intake should be individually determined, taking into account energy expenditure and growth. Preferential intake of slowly absorbed carbohydrates and limiting the ingestion of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates and simple sugars should be promoted. No specific recommendations for macronutrient intakes to prevent obesity can be made. Plant foods can be used as the main food contributors to a well-balanced diet with adequate monitoring of nutrient intake. Plain water should be promoted as the main source of fluids for children instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. Children should eat at least 4 meals, including breakfast, every day. Regular family meals should be encouraged. Regular consumption of fast food with large portion sizes and high energy density should be avoided. Healthy food options should be promoted for snacking. Food portion sizes should be appropriate for age and body size. Nutrition and lifestyle education aimed at the prevention of obesity should be included in the routine care of children by health care professionals.
Obesity is the most prevalent nutritional disorder among children and adolescents throughout the world (1,2). Notwithstanding recent reports suggesting a levelling off of the prevalence of obesity in some countries (3–5), the burden of paediatric obesity for society is still high (6–8). In addition to short-term complications such as psychosocial disturbances or orthopaedic problems, the origins of potential long-term metabolic consequences are also identifiable in many obese children (9). It is well established that obesity is a multifactorial disease in which genetic as well as psychological and environmental causative factors are implicated, with diet and physical inactivity looming large.
The focus of this comment is to assess the role of dietary factors and food habits in the prevention of obesity in childhood. For the roles of physical activity and sedentary behaviour, we refer readers to available reviews and position papers (10–13). The treatment of obesity is also beyond the scope of this Comment. For the role of dietary interventions in the treatment of obese children, we refer readers to a recent Cochrane review (14). Finally, the role of early nutrition in obesity development is not covered because nutrition during the first year of life has been extensively discussed in 2 recent comments published by the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition Committee on Nutrition (15,16). In summary, it was stated that the potential for breast-feeding to contribute to reduction of later obesity should be explored in more detail, and that the available evidence on how complementary feeding influences later obesity risk is not conclusive.
This Comment aims to provide a state-of-the-art summary on the role of nutrition-related factors that may contribute to the development of obesity in children ages 2 to 18 years. This Comment also provides recommendations on healthy nutrition patterns with the potential to decrease obesity risk to be promoted by paediatricians and other health care professionals.
Although the gap between energy input and energy expenditure plays a major role in the development of obesity (17), energy balance is far more complex than this model suggests (18). There are paradoxical reports of reduced energy intakes in children who were already obese and/or overweight, pointing to the importance of energy expenditure (19) and the possibility of reverse causation. Reports on preventive interventions have also emphasized the role of a regular decreased daily energy intake (ranging from 100 to 150 kcal/day) to counterbalance the energy gap and its possible role in obesity (20,21). Lack of consistency between observations has raised methodological questions with regard to the adequacy of dietary surveys, given the trend to underreport dietary intakes in obese subjects, and the possible role of nutrient imbalances (eg, the quality of fats vs their quantity) (22,23). Because fats are the major source of energy, inaccurate recording of intake could lead to as much as a 2-fold error when determining their contribution to overall energy intake. Nevertheless, examining the differences in energy intakes and/or energy balance should be given priority in studies on the dietary determinants of overweight and obesity.
Recommendation Considering the multiple factors involved in energy balance, energy intake should be individually determined, taking into account energy expenditure and growth.
The role of particular macronutrients (as total or relative percentage of energy intake) in the aetiology of obesity is poorly understood. This is due in part to the complex interrelation between dietary carbohydrate (CHO), protein, and fat, given that when the intake of 1 macronutrient changes, the intake of the other 2 also changes as a consequence.
The intake of simple CHO has been proposed to be associated with adiposity development, whereas slowly absorbed CHO (low glycaemic index) could be protective (24). In adults, observational studies suggest a possible relation between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and body weight, but there is insufficient supporting evidence from randomised controlled trials of adequate size and duration (25).
Rapidly digested carbohydrates produced lower satiety in normal-weight and obese children (26), whereas low-glycaemic-index foods eaten at breakfast had a significant impact on food intake at lunch, when intake was reduced after low- compared with after high-glycaemic-index breakfasts (27). Accordingly, the independent roles of breakfast and CHO-based foods within breakfast in satiety need to be defined to develop obesity prevention strategies (28).
Buyken et al (29) prospectively examined whether dietary glycaemic index, glycaemic load, added sugar intake, or fibre intake between ages 2 and 7 years is associated with the development of a particular body composition, and if so, to ascertain whether these associations are modified by meal frequency. They observed that neither dietary glycaemic index nor glycaemic load or added sugar intake appeared to significantly influence changes in body composition. It is possible that potential benefits associated with increasing fibre intake throughout childhood could be limited to toddlers with a lower meal frequency (29).
Recommendation The ingestion of slowly absorbed CHO should be promoted, while limiting the supply of rapidly absorbed CHO and simple sugars.
Fats are the main energy contributors to the diet on a volume intake basis: They are twice as energy dense as carbohydrates or proteins, and the energy cost of storage of the energy contained in fats is about one-tenth that for carbohydrates or proteins (30).
Enhanced percentage fat intake was significantly related to increased relative body weight (31), body fat mass (32), and body fat content (33) in large groups of children. However, equivocal results were found when groups of children were subdivided according to sex: significant positive correlations were found between dietary fat intakes and body fat mass in boys, but not in girls (3,34,35). It is important to note that other observational studies failed to find a relation between fat intake and the development of obesity (36,37).
The only available intervention study suggests that modification of fat intake may decrease the risk of obesity. When infants were randomly assigned at the age of 7 months to dietary counselling with the aim of reducing total fat and substituting unsaturated products instead of saturated fats, the proportion of overweight girls was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group when followed up at the age of 10 years (38).
Experimental evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega-6 series may promote both adipogenesis in vitro and adipose tissue development in vivo in rodents during the gestation/lactation period (39). Small observational studies found significant differences in plasma linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, and the sum of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids between obese and nonobese children (40,41), but these data do not allow inferences on causality considering also the potential role of the subinflammatory status associated with obesity (42).
A review concluded that the role of dietary fat types as early determinants of childhood obesity is poorly understood (43). The potential for medium-chain triglycerides, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to modulate food intake has been explored (44), and supplementation of CLA was recently reported to significantly attenuate body fat deposition in overweight or obese prepubertal children (45). However, safety and efficacy of such interventions require careful scrutiny in the paediatric age group (46,47).
Further paediatric data are needed on the effects of total fat consumption and the potential role of dietary fat quality and composition on the development of childhood obesity.
Recommendation It is likely that total fat intake and specific dietary lipids play a role in the development of obesity. However, the paucity of available data does not support recommendations on fat quantity and quality in relation to obesity prevention.
Dietary proteins and specific amino acids (particularly arginine, alone or in combination with lysine) have been shown to stimulate the somatotropic axis and may thereby influence body composition (48,49). Growth hormone (GH) plays an important role in reducing fat mass, with studies showing increased lipolysis and decreased fat mass after GH administration (50).
Agostoni et al (51) suggested that a positive correlation between high protein intake and later obesity occurs mainly in populations with protein intake higher than 15% to 16% of total energy intake. When compared with a low-protein, high-fat intake diet, a high-protein, low-fat diet was associated with an earlier adiposity rebound (defined as the rise in body mass index [BMI] curve normally occurring at 5–7 years of age), which has been shown to be associated with the development of obesity (52). The analysis of data from the German DONALD study suggests that animal but not vegetable protein intakes in early childhood may play a role in later overweight and adiposity (53).
In contrast, in a cohort of healthy Danish girls, a high protein intake was associated with a decrease in body fat and an increase in fat-free mass, depending on the available amounts and combinations of arginine and lysine (49). In another Danish cohort study (54), linear growth in prepubertal girls was influenced by habitual arginine intake, whereas body fat gain was inhibited by the intake of arginine and lysine. Further research should explore the role of specific amino acids on weight gain and body composition.
Recommendation The evidence associating protein intake and obesity in children older than 2 years of age is inconsistent and does not allow firm conclusions and recommendations.
Dietary calcium intake has been suggested to be negatively associated with the development of obesity. One possible mechanism is reduced intestinal fat absorption. Several studies in both animals and humans have shown that calcium increases the excretion of fat, presumably by formation of insoluble calcium fatty acid soaps or binding of bile acids that impair the formation of micelles (55–57). Another mechanism could be the regulatory influence of intracellular calcium on fat metabolism by modifying lipolysis, fat oxidation, and lipogenesis (55–58).
Despite the above, findings in children and adolescents are inconsistent. Epidemiological data both support (59–63) and refute (64–66) an association between calcium or dairy product intake and the development of obesity. In a cross-sectional study in healthy premenarcheal girls (67), an inverse association between calcium intake and body fat content appeared to result from avoidance of foods high in calcium by girls who were concerned about their body weight or shape. In the longitudinal part of this study, calcium intake was not associated with changes in body fat content over time (67).
Randomised trials conducted to examine the effects of calcium or dairy product supplementation on bone mineral accretion have not detected differences in weight gain between supplemented and control children (68,69). Studies that supplemented the diet of children with dairy products instead of elemental calcium are difficult to interpret, because energy and protein intakes may have also increased in the supplemented groups, thus obscuring any differential effects on changes in weight or body fat.
Recommendation Available evidence does not allow recommendations on the role of calcium or dairy products in the development of obesity.
Recent evidence, primarily from investigations in animal models, suggests that the gut microbiota affects nutrient acquisition and energy regulation (70). In both animals and humans its composition has been shown to differ in the lean and obese (71,72). Interestingly, the gut bacterial flora of obese mice and humans include fewer Bacteroidetes and correspondingly more Firmicutes than that of their lean counterparts, suggesting that caloric extraction of ingested food may indeed be influenced by the composition of the gut microbiota (73). There are no data on the effect of any dietary factor, including prebiotics and probiotics, on the prevention of obesity by modulating gut microbiota.
Recommendation No dietary modulators of gut microbiota can be recommended for obesity prevention.
Plant-based diets are low in energy density and high in complex carbohydrates, fibre, and water, which may increase satiety and resting energy expenditure. Two recent reviews deal with the relation between plant food and childhood obesity (74,75). Newby concluded there was no relation between childhood obesity and fruit and vegetables; insufficient evidence regarding beans, legumes, and soy; and slight protection with grains and breakfast cereals, fibre, and plant-based dietary patterns (74). Most of the studies reviewed were cross-sectional, failed to adequately adjust for potential confounders, and did not consider the influence of reporting errors.
Sabaté and Wien (75) explored the concept of plant-based diets because several studies showed that vegetarians were leaner than their nonvegetarian peers (76,77). In their review, they concluded that animal foods (meats and dairy products/eggs) were associated with an increased risk of overweight, whereas plant foods were either protective (cereals, legumes, and nuts) or showed no association (fruit/vegetables and vegetable protein products).
Inadequate intake of energies, protein, calcium, zinc, iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D related to plant-based diets may occur on a vegetarian diet because of a poor choice of foods and because of high nutritional requirements related to growth and development. Thus, when implementing such diets, appropriate planning (taking into account recommended macro- and micronutrient intakes) and monitoring (growth, zinc, iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D) should be undertaken by a health care professional.
Recommendation Plant foods can be used as the main food contributors to a well-balanced diet. When a vegetarian diet is practiced, appropriate planning (taking into account recommended macro- and micronutrient intakes) and monitoring (growth, zinc, iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D) should be undertaken by a health care professional.
The majority of studies classify the following as sugar-added beverages: any sugar-sweetened or artificially sweetened fruit-flavoured drinks, sports (natural or artificial) drinks, and drinks that contain 100% fruit juice; carbonated sodas that include sugar or artificial sweetener, caffeinated or decaffeinated; and sugar-sweetened or artificially sweetened, caffeinated or decaffeinated tea or coffee (78).
Two reviews (79,80) systematically addressed the relation between sugar-added beverages and obesity. The first (79) included cross-sectional, longitudinal, and intervention studies, both in children and in adults, and the second (80) included only longitudinal and randomised controlled trials in children and adolescents. Malik et al (79) concluded that sufficient evidence exists for public health strategies to discourage consumption of sugary drinks. Forshee et al (80) concluded that both quantitative meta-analysis and qualitative review found practically no association between sweetened beverage consumption and BMI. The different conclusions can be explained by different study populations, different methodology, and confounding variables. For example, the randomised controlled trial of James et al (81) showed that the percentage of overweight and obese children increased in the control group by 7.5%, and decreased in the intervention group (reduced sweetened beverage consumption) by 0.2%; however, those differences could not simply be attributed to a decline in the consumption of high-calorie sodas. Moreover, Ebbeling et al (82) observed that although energy intakes from high-calorie beverages dropped by 82% in the intervention group, the difference in BMI gain was not significant.
Since these 2 reviews have been made available, other longitudinal and intervention studies on this topic have been published. Some support the association between sugar-sweetened beverages consumption and BMI (78,83,84), whereas other studies found no association (85,86). Recently, Muckelbauer et al (87) performed a combined environmental and educational intervention promoting water consumption among children in elementary school in a population from socially deprived areas. The intervention was successful in increasing water consumption and preventing overweight without an effect on juice and soft drink consumption.
Overall, results are not conclusive. It is uncertain whether the critical factor is the sugar, energies, or behaviours related to beverage consumption. In addition, some foods frequently accompany certain sugar-sweetened beverages (88), and drinking these beverages may also lead to higher subsequent energy intakes due to producing lower satiety than energy consumed in solid form (89,90). Sugar-added beverages may also encourage additional energy intake because of their high glycaemic index (91). In addition, the high fructose content of many sweetened beverages has been linked to the obesity epidemic (92,93), although it is uncertain whether fructose itself is the culprit (93,94).
Fruit juice also contains sugar and a similar energy density as many sugar-added beverages, but there is uncertainty on their effects. Although it is difficult to separate juices with or without added sugar using the conventional dietary assessment methods, fruit juice intake was not associated with obesity development in several longitudinal studies (78,85,95–100).
Recommendation A relation between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and development of obesity in children and adolescents has been reported in some studies, although conclusive evidence is not available. Sugar-sweetened beverages are a significant contributor to energy intake. The Committee therefore considers that plain water should be promoted as the main source of fluids for children.
Observations both in adult and child populations associate a lower number of daily meals with a higher risk of obesity (101,102). Several cross-sectional (103–107) and longitudinal studies (108,109) have addressed this issue in children. Cross-sectional studies showed inconsistent results. In the longitudinal studies, Thompson et al (108) observed that eating occasions between 4.0 and 5.9 times per day were negatively associated with changes in BMI z score, after controlling for baseline BMI z score. In both black and white girls ages 9 to 10 years, followed up for 10 years, Franko et al (109) found that participants who frequently ate more than 3 meals per day had lower BMI-for-age z scores than those eating fewer meals. Black, but not white girls, who frequently ate more than 3 meals per day, were less likely to meet criteria for overweight.
Adolescents or adults who eat more frequently also exercise more and make healthier food choices (110), a possible source of confounding. Increased thermogenesis from consuming more meals could be a potential explanation, linking fat mass and meal frequency. However, there is ongoing controversy regarding this mechanism because studies on thermic effects of food do not point to different degrees of thermogenesis when comparing "nibbling" (consuming frequent small meals) and "gorging" (consuming infrequent large meals) (111).
Recommendation Given the apparent inverse association between number of daily meals and obesity development, it is appropriate that children older than 2 years of age eat at least 4 meals per day. Whether eating 5 or more meals per day provides an additional contribution to the prevention of overweight/obesity remains to be elucidated.
Breakfast is usually defined as the meal eaten in the morning and the first meal of the day. Skipping breakfast has been suggested to be a risk factor for obesity (112). One systematic review (113) found that although breakfast eaters consumed more daily calories, they were less likely to be overweight. In a recent systematic review of studies performed in Europe, observational studies have consistently shown that children and adolescents who eat breakfast have a reduced risk of being overweight or obese and have a lower BMI compared with those who skip breakfast (114). Three of 4 longitudinal studies performed in the United States (115–118) also showed a relation between skipping breakfast and BMI gain (115–117).
Children who skip breakfast regularly were found to consume a greater percentage of energy from fat (119) and snacks that are higher in fat (120). Skipping breakfast may be followed by increased appetite later in the day, producing overeating, or may promote choice of foods with higher energy density, leading to greater overall intake (121). Alternatively, because a person consumed a nutrient-dense diet, eating breakfast may boost the person's ability to engage in regular physical activity (121).
Recommendation Children should be encouraged to eat breakfast every day.
Eating family dinner has been linked to healthy dietary intake patterns (122). Two longitudinal studies assessed the relation between family dinner and obesity development. One observed a positive relation, but only in whites, and the other only in the cross-sectional analysis and not in the longitudinal one.
In adolescents between 12 and 15 years of age from the 1997 survey of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, Sen (123) observed that, for whites, higher frequency of eating dinner as a family was associated with reduced odds of being overweight, reduced odds of becoming overweight, and increased odds of ceasing to be overweight by 2000. No such associations were found for blacks and Hispanics. Taveras et al (124) found that young respondents who reported eating dinner with families all or most of the time were less likely to be overweight than counterparts who did so only some or none of the time at the baseline, but there was no statistical relation between family dinners and becoming overweight within 1 year. Conversely, in a 5-year longitudinal study of adolescents, Fulkerson et al (125) did not find any significant association between family dinner and obesity development.
Family meals may therefore have relevance for the prevention and correction of childhood overweight. Regular family meals give parents the scope to provide their children with nutritious and healthy fare, to monitor and limit children's intake of calorically dense and "junk" food, and to serve as role models for healthy eating behaviour (126).
Recommendation Regular family meals should be encouraged.
Characteristic qualities of fast foods include large portion size, high energy density, high content of saturated and trans fats, high glycaemic load, low content of fibre, and palatability (appealing to primordial taste preferences for fats, sugar, and salt), which may cause excessive weight gain (88). Few studies have examined the effects of fast-food consumption on any nutrition or health-related outcome. Three studies on the relation between fast food and obesity in children have been identified.
Taveras et al (127) investigated a large cohort of children ages 9 to 14 years at baseline; BMI was obtained from self-reported height and weight. During a period of 1 year, high consumption of fried food away from home was associated with rising BMI compared with those with low consumption at baseline and 1 year later. In a prospective study of adolescents participating in surveys II and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (116), more numerous days of fast-food consumption at survey II predicted increased BMI z score at survey III. Among healthy girls between the ages of 8 and 12 years at baseline and 11 and 19 years at follow-up, those who ate fast food twice per week or more at baseline had the greatest mean increase in BMI z score compared to those who ate fast food once per week or not at all (128). From the reviewed studies it can be concluded that increasing consumption of food from fast-food outlets is associated with excess weight gain.
Recommendation Regular consumption of fast food with large portion sizes and high energy density should be avoided.
Snacks can be defined as eating episodes, generally smaller and less structured than meals (129). Snack foods can be energy dense and of little nutritional value. They are readily available and consumed by children and adolescents in a variety of settings. Data from 3 cross-sectional studies showed that more frequent snacking intake was associated with a smaller risk of overweight or obesity in children (107,130,131). However, another cross-sectional study in schoolchildren from Colombia showed that the prevalence of overweight was positively associated with snack food intake. In that case, snack food consisted of high-energy sweets and beverages (132).
Three longitudinal studies analysing the effect of snacking on obesity development suggest that low-nutritional-value snack foods were not an independent determinant of weight gain among children and adolescents (133–135). Overall, the available evidence is too limited to establish a relation between snack foods and obesity in children.
Recommendation Healthy food options should be promoted for snacking.
The extent to which excessive food portions contribute to children's energy intake and body weight has not been studied extensively. Some studies showed that portion size influence energy intake in children (136,137). In an experimental school lunch situation, the effect of portion size on food intake was influenced by age (138). In a similar study model, doubling an age-appropriate portion of an entrée increased entrée and total energy intakes at lunch by 25% and 15%, respectively; changes were attributable to increases in the average size of the children's bites of the entrée without compensatory decreases in the intake of other foods served at the meal (139). In addition, 1 study showed that meal portion sizes were associated with BMI percentile in boys 6 to 11 years old and in children 12 to 19 years old (140) and another study showed that portion size and energy intake were positively associated with body weight (141).
Recommendation Food portion sizes should be appropriate for age and body size.
1. The origin of obesity is multifactorial. Dietary interventions should be incorporated into a multidisciplinary strategy for obesity prevention.
2. No single nutrient has been unequivocally associated with the development of overweight and obesity.
3. Methodological limitations in study design and the complex nature of obesity must be taken into account when interpreting the association with some of the reported dietary factors.
4. Energy intake should be individually determined, taking into account energy expenditure and growth.
5. Preferential intake of slowly absorbed carbohydrates, along with limiting the supply of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates and simple sugars, should be promoted.
6. With respect to obesity prevention, no recommendations on fat quantity and quality, protein or amino acid intake, or calcium and dairy product intake can be made.
7. No dietary modulators of gut microbiota can be recommended for obesity prevention.
8. Plant foods can be used as the main food contributors to a well-balanced diet. When a vegetarian diet is practiced, appropriate planning (taking into account recommended macro- and micronutrient intakes) and monitoring (growth and potentially zinc, iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D status) should be executed by a health care professional.
9. Sugar-sweetened beverages are a significant contributor to energy intake. Plain water should be promoted as the main source of fluids for children.
10. Children should eat at least 4 meals, including breakfast, every day. Regular family meals should be encouraged.
11. Fast food with large portion sizes and high energy density should be avoided.
12. Healthy food options should be promoted for snacking.
13. Food portion sizes should be appropriate for age and body size.
14. Nutrition and lifestyle education aimed at the prevention of obesity should be included in the routine care of children by general paediatricians and other health professionals.

Hi guys, I just bought Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition Uk (Mac) thinking that the game was translated in other languages as indicated in the detail on the product page, but the game is only English o.O there is a way to translating the subtitle in Italian? I dont have any problem playing the game in English, but if there was a solution I would appreciate it :) Thanks!
Hello, You can activate the game on EAs Origin client with your serial number and download the Italian version from it. Or I think you can change the language from the games configuration tool. Did you look there? If there is not Italian language there you can download the game (Italian version) from Origin as I said.
Hi, thanks for you replies, I activated the game on Origin but is only compatible with Windows Pc :S and in-game there isnt any configuration tool about Languages also during installation, now I can try to install the game on my Windows Pc and transfer file languages to my Mac, what do you think about?
Solved, I will play in English :P I see that is not a problem, dialogues are very clear :D Thanks for everything ;)

I've spent a lot of time in the ER, and I'm always asked to describe the most unusual cases I've handled. Over the years, I've compiled an unofficial list in my head, but have never written them down until now.
The cases below involve conditions and symptoms that are seldom discussed in everyday conversation. Some may find them distasteful or too intense. The fact remains that they do occur regularly in real life, and discussing them can remove the stigma or embarrassment that may prevent someone from seeking medical help.
This article is not for the faint of heart. If you are squeamish or easily offended by frank discussion or graphic medical images, please read no further.
Time Doesn't Heal Everything - Get To The Doctor
A morbidly obese man with a large abdominal pannus came in exhibiting red, irritated skin around the abdomen. It looked like a routine skin infection. But what was the cause? During the exam, I lifted the pannus and a turkey sandwich fell from between his folds. The man said it was about a month old, which the smell confirmed.
As you might imagine, abdominal pannus is very common given the much-talked-about obesity epidemic. The most common complication is yeast infection (intertrigo). If you have an abdominal pannus, the goal is to keep the skin under the pannus dry and clean.
Three tips: 1) After bath or shower, lift the hanging skin and air dry or blow dry on cool setting. 2) Use an antifungal powder like nystatin (prescription) or a non-talc powder. 3) If area appears red or itchy, try an over-the-counter antifungal cream.
A woman living alone with multiple medical problems came in complaining of odor and itching of her feet. In what was left of both of her feet wet gangrene had taken over, along with hundreds of maggots. In the folded skin in the groin were more maggots.
As you may have heard, maggots do keep skin lesions clean. But they aren't easy to get rid of, as they scamper deeper into the wound when they see you coming.
An older gentleman man came in with many complications from his diabetes. I went to take off his socks and as I began to examine him, the tip of his second toe broke off into my hand like a piece of turkey bacon. It was dry gangrene.
Most people have a fuzzy understanding of gangrene -- it's unpleasant to look at and mostly affects fingers and toes. But what is it, really? Gangrene is the death of tissue, almost always from a lack of blood flow. Wet gangrene involves a bacterial infection, dry gangrene does not. Diabetes, circulatory issues, and smoking are some common culprits. In fact, gangrene from diabetes is the most common cause of non-traumatic amputation.
All diabetics should examine their feet daily for any signs of redness or skin breakdown. Since sensation is diminished in the feet, a visual check is critical.
Dry gangrene is usually ischemic (i.e. decreased blood flow to the area) and usually occurs in someone with peripheral vascular disease. Dry gangrene should be very painful in the early stages. A red or purple discoloration will progress to black without intervention. Early evaluation and vascular surgery is the only chance of saving the finger, toe or limb.
Private Part Mishaps
Periodically, men have arrived in the ER with the same complaint: "Doctor, my junk is purple." The culprit is always a metal cock ring that got stuck. I've learned that regular ring cutters available in the ER don't work. The time it takes to get more powerful (and cringe inducing) wire cutters does not help calm the patient's nerves.
Guys, please consider the alternatives to metal -- latex, rubber, silicone, leather, velcro, etc.
An elderly woman from a nursing home was brought in and complained of a "large ball" between her legs. It was her uterus, which had come out of her vagina. When one gets older everything starts to sag, and in some cases hang out, including the uterus and rectum.
A rectal prolapse is fairly common in both older men and women, and generally comes from weakened ligaments and years of strained bowel movements. So, eat fiber, drink water, and do your Kegel exercises.
Naturally, the sight of a vaginal or rectal prolapse is very distressing to patients. I find that the general silence around the subject only serves to make it that much more alarming. In reality, it is fairly common in older adults and very treatable.
Retained Objects
Doctors actually use the phrase "retained objects" to categorize this next group of cases. They are very common in the ER, but again, seldom discussed.
A man came in complaining of pain and bleeding from down below. He was trying to quit smoking and had replaced cigarettes with sunflower seeds, eating them shell and all whenever he got the urge.
During the rectal exam, we discovered a giant sunflower seed mass crowning like a baby's head. Despite castor oil and trying to "deliver" it, we ended up picking out the pieces with tweezers until it was small enough to pass.
A woman came in complaining of pain in her pelvis, so the doctor put her in the stirrups and performed a pelvic exam. He immediately removed the problem -- a set of car keys. The woman explained she didn't want her boyfriend taking the car, so she hid the keys in a place where "he never goes".
A patient came in with a very simple case: a toilet bowl scrubber had become lodged in his rectum. Curiously, he wasn't sure how it got there.
So please everyone, remember to get to the doctor if something is troubling you. Don't delay, and don't be embarrassed -- we've probably seen worse.
Bonus Stories
Here are some bonus stories, which I had nothing to do with. Truth or urban legend? You decide.
An unconscious man and his girlfriend arrived with a large lump on his head and several deep scratches on his scrotum. When he awoke, he explained that he had been kneeling naked over the side of his bathtub while cleaning.
The cat must have become transfixed with his swaying testes, and it pounced. The patient struck his head as he jumped in pain, and his girlfriend found him unconscious.
Two parents in the ER were yelling and screaming, thinking that their teenage son was going blind because he was seeing spots. In private, the son revealed that his parents had caught him masturbating earlier that week and told him he would go blind if he continued.
Of course he continued, and the next time he hyperventilated and saw spots. In a panic, he told his parents about the spots, but not about his private activity. When the parents found out the whole story, they loudly complained that their son could, in fact, have gone blind from masturbation, and that we were negligent in not taking them seriously.
While making small talk with an older female patient, she mentioned that the "Kentucky Jelly" on her breakfast tray had a very strange taste. When I asked to see the jelly, the woman handed me a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."
An elderly woman came into the ER complaining she had green vines in her "virginny". A pelvic exam verified that she did have a six-inch vine growing out of her vagina, and x-rays revealed it was growing from a potato in her vaginal vault.
She explained that her uterus was falling out, so she put a potato in there to hold it up and had forgotten. (Another uterine prolapse. Remember to do your Kegel's, ladies.)

Remember the place mat I shared with you a little while ago? I made some little place cards to go with it! I'll show you how and share with you the PDF so that you can make your own customized ones!
What you'll need:
A few sheets of patterned paper (Trimmed to 7 3/4″ x 3 1/2″)
Orange Cardstock (Trimmed to 2 3/4″ x 1 3/4″)
Light Ivory Cardstock (You'll print on this so make sure it's trimmed down to 8 1/2″ x 11″ to fit into your printer!)
Coordinating Ribbon
Score along the lines of your patterned paper as shown below:
Fold along the lines and adhere the flap to make your triangle shaped place cards.
Type into the free PDF (available here) what you'd like the place cards to say. You could also use these for labels for all the different Thanksgiving dishes! (If the font isn't one you have on your computer-Download the free font here, follow the directions on adding it to your font library, and reopen the PDF. You'll be able to use the same font as I did in the example!) Print and trim the pieces on the dotted lines and mount on your pieces of orange cardstock. Tie a simple ribbon bow to the left side and mount on one side of your place card with foam tape. You're done!
To make the napkin rings, just cut a few strips of paper and hold them while setting the eyelets! (I used my Crop-A-Dile to make it easier!)
Now you're well on your way to a beautiful Thanksgiving!
P.S. Here's a funny little conversation my husband and I had. I was leaving to go to teach a card class and my husband was helping me get everything loaded in the car and was making sure I had everything I needed. (Isn't he sweet!) The conversation went something like this:
Christian: Do you have your adhesive?
Me: Yep!
Christian: What about all your stamps?
Me: Yep!
Christian: What about all your paper?
Me: Yep!
Christian: What about all your animals? Do you need those for this class?
Me: Huh? Animals?
Christian: You know, your Cricut (cricket), Crop-A-Dile (crocodile), Cuttlebug (bug)…
I just started laughing… :)
Have a great weekend Everyone!

Cryptococcosis in Cats - Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
What is cryptococcosis?
Cryptococcosis is a common infectious disease caused by the yeast-like fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. This fungus is widespread in the environment and cats (humans, dogs and other animals can also become infected) acquire it by inhaling spores. It is much more common in cats than dogs.
The organism is worldwide in distribution and is commonly found areas contaminated with bird (especially pigeon) droppings, although many infected cats have no known contact with pigeon droppings.
Immunocompromised cats such as those infected with FeLV or FIV are especially vulnerable to infections such as cryptococcosis.
Infected cats do not pose a risk to humans. Infection is acquired by inhalation of the fungus and not spread from animals or humans.
Once inhaled, the organism typically colonises in the upper respiratory tract (usually the nasal passages).
What are the symptoms of cryptococcosis in cats?
Common symptoms of cryptococcosis include:
- Sneezing and snuffling
- Raspy breathing
- Nasal discharge
- Hard, nodular skin swellings, most often over the bridge of the nose
- Skin lesions on the head
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
Other symptoms may be present depending on what organ systems are involved. These may include;
- Neurologic abnormalities (seizures, incoordination, behavioural changes)
- Eye disorders (chorioretinitis; inflammation of the choroid and retina of the eye)
How is it diagnosed?
Your veterinarian will perform a complete physical examination and obtain a medical history from you. Diagnosis is based on identification of the organism and tests he may perform include:
- Inspection of the nasal discharge, cerebrospinal fluid or skin lesions by India ink stain.
- Latex agglutination test (LAT) to detect antigens from the capsule of the fungus. False negative tests may occasionally occur in cats with localised infection. False positives also occasionally occur.
- Radiography of the nasal cavity may be useful.
Your veterinarian may also wish to perform CBC/biochemical profile/urinalysis, FIV and FeLV tests to gain an insight into the general health of your cat.
How is it treated?
Itraconazole is the drug of choice for treating cryptococcosis. This should be given with a fatty meal to enhance absorption of the drug.
Fluconazole if there is CNS involvement.
Surgical removal of the lesions in the nasal cavity.
Supportive care such as a feeding tube if necessary.

Budget 2010: Osborne Laying It on With a Trowel on Cuts
Easily detectable ahead of the budget is a certain nervousness in the upper reaches of the coalition. It is one thing to make speeches saying serious cuts are coming (and even easier for journalists to write pieces for newspapers demanding others introduce ever more aggressive economies) but quite another to actually swing the axe.
Right now the axe is in the air, ready to fall. The crowd holds its breath. No wonder George Osborne has looked a little daunted in recent days.
The new Chancellor is about to introduce the most keenly awaited/dreaded budget for decades. The measures are hardly going to be popular, but if he gets the pitch wrong, if the whole package jars and is widely perceived as excessive, then he could become the lightening conductor for future criticism of the coalition.
Osborne and his team of aides in the Treasury know this. They certainly seem alive to the possibility that he could become the second most hated man in Britain (after Fabio Capello if England lose on Wednesday). Which is why they have put so much work into preparing the ground in tactical and public relations terms.
Their work has had two strands:
1) Make the budget a team effort so that whatever blame is going gets spread about. It's not just that Osborne has been binding in the Liberals, he's handcuffed himself to Chief Secretary Danny Alexander and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg as though he's taken them hostage. In contrast with the Brown approach to budgets – keep everything from colleagues until five to midnight – Osborne and Cameron have made the senior Lib Dems in the coalition central to the planning process. Very smart.
2) Talk up how horrendous the budget is going to be and then hope it undershoots expectations a bit. Of course the cuts and tax rises are going to be severe, but rather than the situation being worse than the coalition expected the public finances are actually in a slightly better condition (still terrible) than anticipated. Osborne and Cameron have ignored this and instead have gone out of their way in interviews etc to emphasise how jaw-droppingly, epoch-definingly awful and frightening it's all going to be – taxes through the roof, spending slashed, benefits battered, children in the north denied shoes. Then, when it's slightly less awful than billed, Team Osborne clearly hopes a sigh of relief will be breathed and people will give him the credit. Let's see.

Save the Children: Julianne Moore on U.S. Poverty, Being 50, and Losing Her Mom
Julianne Moore: Champion for Children
She's also right in the thick of planning the release of custom-designed Valentine's Day cards for Save the Children, the 80-year-old nonprofit that provides education, nutrition, and health programs for children living in poverty around the world (savethechildren.org).
As a Save the Children artist ambassador, Moore helps promote the annual Valentine's Day card sale campaign to raise funds for kids' initiatives in the United States. One, called Literacy Block, gives kindergartners through eighth-graders supported activities that help them grow as readers with guided independent reading practice, fluency-building support, and listening to books read aloud.
Moore's interest is to do something about the link between poverty and literacy. Research shows that by age 4, poor children are 18 months behind their peers developmentally. At age 10, this gap persists. When they grow up, that difference in skills matters; people with low levels of education have higher rates of unemployment.
"Our literacy work encompasses just about everything we do, from early childhood education to early cognitive skills, all with the goal that by the time they're in fourth grade, kids are no longer learning to read, but reading to learn," says Jennifer Kaleba, director of marketing and communications for Save the Children's U.S. programs.
"Valentine's Day is as big as Halloween for kids," Moore says. "I was very involved with Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF as a kid, and I thought, 'Why don't we attach something about U.S. poverty to Valentine's Day and allow kids to help one another?'"
Past cards have featured children's art, but this year the cards will be recognizable to many parents, designed by favorite children's book illustrators such as Mo Willems (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!), Ian Falconer (Olivia), Kevin Henkes (Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse), Brian Selznick (The Invention of Hugo Cabret), and LeUyen Pham, who illustrates Moore's own Freckleface Strawberry series, inspired by her childhood nickname.
Moore on Education Equality
The days when she was "Freckleface Strawberry" in school were also the days Moore developed an early sense of the inequality in kids' education. Her military family moved often, and she attended at least nine schools -- some on a military base but most of them local public schools.

Raaga Restaurant Review: Chef Durga Prasad, a veteran of Taj Hotel Group, introduced Indian fine dining to major cities all over the world before landing in Chapel Hill. His skills are well suited to Raaga's romantic décor featuring a domed pavilion in the center of a banquette-lined dining room. Prasad's dishes, a combination of Northern and Southern Indian specialties, exude the tantalizing fragrance of fresh exotic spices. Sip on a basil-cucumber-ginger martini and nosh on an assortment of house-made breads, including naans of different flavors, paratha and kulcha, while choosing from the extensive menu of familiar stews such as vindaloo and korma, tandoori-baked chicken and lamb chops, and more adventurous fusion fare. Specialties include a braised lamb shank enhanced with star anise, and tandoori basil sea bass. Vegetarians will enjoy a dozen choices, including the gobi musslam, sautéed cauliflower seasoned with cardamom. Portions are generous, but if you crave something sweet, order the classic gulab jamun, sponge cake balls soaked in syrup. The wine list is limited, but offers appropriate pairings for the spicy dishes.

Can anyone share info on PS cut-over data?
I was actually referring to PS Cut-over strategy?
the main points for PS are -
make sure programs are run to regenerate substitution and validation routines, summarisation if used etc
some customisation has to be done in PRD - make sure that is doen - things like updating Z tables with PRD specific master data, table controls for various objects
master data loads - make sure that you all the required project master data collected from the client to create them in the new PRD environment
then after setting relevant statuses assign the necessary objects like sales orders to WBS billing element, PO account assignments against WBS or NWA
finally make sure that all the costs and revenues both planned and actual are converted for the projects taken over
PS cut over document is built as you go along the realisation part of the project and is unique for every project
even if I gave you one, it would be meaningless if you did not use those functionalities
The main thing is in cove under cut over document is following:-
1. Close all the pending GRN & SES and rest of transaction(PR & PO) should be upload in new system from existing system.
2. Upload all inventory(Stock) in new storage location.
Hope it's will give u help.

Well it's the famous week that comes after one of the biggest music festivals (Coachella) known to man. A modern day "Woodstock" if you will, and it's time for something chill to heal those burnt out brain cells. Mr. Little Jeans, is actually a she, and with a few singles under her belt the bees are starting to buzz about Mr. Little Jeans. This specific track is called "Oh Sailor", and complete with a kids chorus in the background, it's hypnotizing. The kids enlisted, are the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Youth Chorale, so they're not some homeless kids with pipes off of the streets. They've got cred.
Mr. Little Jeans is a resident of sunny California, LA to be exact with her origins being from Norway. She's got that indie-pop sound on lock, so locksmiths back the eff off, because she isn't going anywhere. She had many single releases in 2012, and is back in 2013 with a vengeance announcing the release of a full-debut album. This single sets "stuff" off for the debut album. Oh Sailor isn't even available for purchase in the states yet, but you can get it off of Amazon if you live in Germany. What gives? Make music available to the entire world at the same time yes?
She has a Lana Del Rey sort of ring to her music, and her vocals; Which in no way is a bad thing, but you have to set yourself apart in this industry. Mr. Little Jeans is signed under Neon Gold Records, a New York City/London-based boutique record company founded in 2008 by Derek Davies and Lizzy Plapinger. Some other names under the label consist of: Passion Pit, Marina & The Diamonds, Yes Giantess, Wolf Gang, The Knocks, Your Twenties, Gotye, Little Red, The Sound of Arrows, Ellie Goulding, Penguin Prison, Mille, & Monarchy, to name a few. Keep an eye out for the full debut coming soon, and in the meantime Get Your Ears Wet to Oh Sailor! Very cool video here people….don't miss out.

Parisa's is still open. I'm looking forward to visiting soon!
Excellent Kurdish food and very nice owners. While I'm not big on buffets, they offer a good one here. It's a good way to sample what this place offers for $10.
Great hummus bar
everything homemade
Great restaurant
Great little gem tucked away behind the Whole Foods at the McEwen exit out in Cool Springs. I live over on the other side of 65 and I drive over here all the time.
The pasta special they do on Friday is my favorite but I also love the chicken roll ups. Wasn't a huge fan of the baklava but I'm not a dessert girl anyway. Overall the food is just really fresh and healthy so its pretty hard to go wrong on their menu. This is quickly becoming a regular stop for me and my besties.
I have eaten at Kalamata for the last few years and always thought their food was fine. I do think the service is pretty slow there and its a bit expensive.
I thought the food at Tazikis was delicious. The pork sandwich is a sleeper on the menu that I really enjoyed - but my staples are usually the salads (omg that lamb!) which are pretty healthy and the meat is very fresh and flavorful.
The reviewer above is judging the restaurant completely on the service model aka "fast casual" I think they call it - seems kind of silly. The food is on par or better than most sit down greek places I have eaten and the price is a steal.
I would recommend checking this place out.
I've got to speak up here: for "Fast Casual" - I think Taziki's is worth another try. On Thursdays, the fish taco is delish. And you can ask for "extra slaw" or customize your order. They have such a healthy menu and the Vandy location is already packed w/students. I'd say the price point could come down a snitch. Delicious fish taco and sides.
Someone needs to tell Mr. Kalamata (I love him, that's not really his name) to get two cash registers! The order-fullfillers are constantly waiting on the single order-taker! He gets offended when I bring it up!
Kalamata's is very good, but they can improve the order situation.
This is the best kind of Kurdish food.specially the grille chekin .
Taziki's Cool Springs was a big disappointment. In Nashville/Brentwood we have a great Greek/Med place in Kalamatas but you have to stand in line, order your food and they don't serve wine or beer (you can bring your own, however) I was envisioning Taziki's as a nice sit-down restaurant where a waiter comes to your table, takes your order and delivers your food and wine. Well, it's not like that and the food was very mediocre. The balsamic vinegrette is the strangest dressing I've ever seen. It will be lost in the fray at Cool Springs but what a waste of the former Zola's location. Maybe they've gotten too big but the food was very "chain-like" not up to the 4 and 5 star reviews they have received in Birmingham and closer to home.
I was really looking forward to the Taziki's "restaurant" but will not be going back. You can't beat Kalamata's if you are craving Mediterranean--it's worth standing in line for.
THE best Middle Eastern/Kurdish restaurant in Nashville. My favorite dish is lamb shank (braised in a tomato sauce) with yellow rice (basmati rice with barberries). Get a bowl of the braising liquid on the side and some yogurt and you will have one of the best meals of your life.
Other good dishes are the joojeh (whole skewered cornish hen), kubideh (ground beef kabob), and teka (beef sirloin kabob). Also, the traditional dish is the shabzi (spinach stew with dried lime).
After you finish, have a glass of hot tea and relax - you'll be full.
I enjoy Anatolia. I really do, but at the end of the day, I think it lives too much on the hype of an ethnic backdrop. Yes, it is not the standard cheeseburger, but are all the dishes that interesting? The lamb kebab is tasty, but ultimately disappointingly simple. Hummus is great as an appetizer, but the dish is so common that grocery stores nationwide now serve heaping mounds of the stuff on a daily basis. I can say, that I truly enjoy the goat cheese phyllo dough rolls, and the service is impeccable. But if you want something truly and enticingly different, don't necessarily get your hopes up at Anatolia.
Truly a Turkish Delight....the entrees are so authentic you step into the feel of Turkey as soon as the dishes are served. The eggplant stuffed with lamb bits is perfect and with the sour cream and chive sauce you need nothing else. The simple house salad with vinaigrette dressing is a great compliment to any of the entrees.
We adore that place in Nashville!!!
They've got helpful and really friendly servers, woundeful food and of course great shisha!!! Guyes,enjoy it!!!
Thanks a lot,
Yulia and Olya

Dunya Kabab is a fantastic little neighborhood restaurant serving freshly grilled tasty meats accompanied by good, savory soups and rice. Sabah is incredibly friendly and helpful. The mixed grill (number 5 on the backlit, cheap-chinese-restaurant-style menu above the counter) is a good place to start, and the cornish hen (number 7) is excellent. I've had okra soup (a bit tomato-y for my taste), lentil soup (minty and good), and another bean soup (rich and good). It is not for those looking for fancy atmosphere, but it is for those looking for good, cheap, fresh food served in a friendly environment.
Oh, and it's great for takeout. I've called twice on my way home from work. I told Sabah that I'll be there in X minutes and each time I watched him take my food off the grill and pack it up for me. Good stuff.

Organizations have sometimes dozens of laws, regulations and standards to comply with. Ensuring that all requirements are codified in policy can be confusing at best, and counter-productive at worst.
It's often not enough to simply write a policy and place it on your Intranet site or company file share. Managers and individual contributors need to understand the policies they are meant to follow. Employees can be the weakest link of an organization's information security program; a workforce that understands and self-enforces company security policies can easily become the strongest link.

At East West Kung Fu the students are trained in martial arts. However, they know when to use it and when not to.
Master Tom Pardue says: "Bully Safe teaches children how to recognize bullies, how to isolate them from themselves, but also how to bring attention to the situation."
Pardue tells his students if there's a bully to not raise their hands to fight, but slowly back away and tell the bully to stop.
By acting in that manner they can call attention to the situation and show they're not threatening anyone else.
"If authorities or their peers are looking at them and they see a child not doing this, not doing this kind of stuff, but saying 'no' they're moving away and their moving away and removing themselves from that arena of contention."
Parents say they're happy their kids know what to do in a threatening situation.

Kicking the tires, free, on Garbage First
By dannycoward on Jun 02, 2009
Just a note to clarify the terms of using the Garbage First collector in Java SE 6u14. Right now, because its still new-ish and not thoroughly battle tested, its turned off by default and intended for use to evaluate it. As you know, many people already have been doing so. Here's the command line option to turn it on:
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC
Once the team has ironed out all the kinks (and please, let them know if you find any !), it will be ready for primetime, and will be in JDK7, where it will be available for free, no strings, under the usual terms as part of the JDK.
The Janitor is told that an earlier version of the release notes implied that you had to have a support contract to use G1. Some certainly ran with that ball and even made a topical story out of it !
Our bad. So we made the notes clearer, because you don't need to do anything special to try it out. Unless you want your kinks fixed before everyone else gets the fixes either in the next update or in JDK 7. In which case, there is nice little program waiting just for you :)

HTC One and Droid DNA to get Android 4.3 in September. One X Android 4.2 update rolling out now
Here's some news regarding software updates for some current and past HTC flagships. First off, you should know that the update to Android 4.2.2 and HTC Sense 5 for the One X from last year is now in the process of rolling out in Europe, according to reports from both XDA-Developers and @llabtoofer. This comes after the HTC One got its serving of the second iteration of Jelly Bean, followed by the One X+. And now it's the One X, sans plus, getting the treat.
The update brings with it BlinkFeed, HTC's new home screen, a new lock screen, the ability for the battery percentage to be shown at all times, a sleep mode, and the quick settings panel, among other things.
If you own a One X and are in Europe, your phone should notify you about the update soon, if it hasn't done so already. Like all over-the-air rollouts, this one too should be staged, so don't panic of you don't see the update yet – it will probably arrive in the next few days or weeks.
If you own an HTC One you already have Android 4.2.2 to take advantage of, but what about version 4.3? This was announced by Google last month, and it looks like HTC is going to be a lot faster in bringing you this version of the OS than it was with previous updates.
According to HTC President Jason Mackenzie, the company will deliver updates to Android 4.3 for all One SKUs sold in the US and Canada before the end of September. Also in the same time frame, the HTC Droid DNA for Verizon will see the 4.3 update too.
If this won't get delayed (as software updates usually are), then it's certainly good news since in the past HTC wasn't always the fastest to issue updates to a new Android version for its devices.

I have a Dell T3400 PC with an Intel Matrix Storage controller and two disks which were in a RAID-1 configuration. I took out one of the disks and installed Linux on the other disk, breaking the RAID configuration in the process (i.e. I installed directly on
/dev/sda, not on the imsm volume). I did this on purpose because I don't want Intel fakeraid any more, I'll use Linux's native mdraid format.
Now the computer won't boot with this disk connected. I get as far as the BIOS screen, but after that I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. This is the time where the Matrix Storage setup prompt should appear, so I suspect that the controller firmware is locking up during its initialization.
I can't even reach the BIOS setup with the disk plugged in. If I unplug the disk, I can reach the setup, but I have no option to invoke the Matrix Storage setup or to disable it altogether (I can only choose between RAID-else-AHCI, RAID-else-ATA, or RAID-else-abort).
How can I make this disk usable in the PC? Preferably without erasing the data on it (I can take it out and zero it fully, and even use another Linux PC to rebuild an imsm volume, which hopefully should work, but I hope it doesn't have to come to that).
I put the disk in another machine and noticed that the last sector (last 512B) begins with
Intel Raid ISM Cfg Sig. 1.1.00. I zeroed it out. That didn't help. I went further back and found two other occurrences of
Intel in the last 4MB of the disk, located 161 and 323 sectors before the last sector. I zeroed out the last 400 sectors of the drive. Still no dice.

I actually liked that show. They showed the wrong way and the right way to do it. They found gold, and showed it. No drama, or how to break heavy equipment. Just good days fun with a shovel. I leaned a new word, tweezable G baby.
