Club Ride Apparel Brand Introduction
Most cyclists own two sets of clothes: lycra or other technical clothes for riding, and then clothes for everything else. This is fine for the serious roadie or trail rider, but in the spring of 2008, Mike Herlinger began wondering why he should have to change clothes after a ride. He had just finished riding some single track, and was running late to meet some friends. After rushing home to change, he looked at one of his vintage Western shirts and began imagining if it were made from a technical, moisture wicking fabric.
From that seed of an idea, Club Ride was born. The idea behind Club Ride is that cycling apparel can be technical, function and stylish. Over the next year, Mike and his buddies refined their designs and expanded their creative thinking to jeans, shorts and more.
Through extensive product testing on Idaho's mountain trails and long urban commutes, they developed innovative features like NoCrackBack jeans, which have a higher cut waist in the back to keep you decent while you're in the drops. They added subtle reflective accents to shirts and tried going from the bike to the office in their clothing.
Eventually, they decided Club Ride was ready for the big time, and they began manufacturing the line of clothing they developed. Using only the highest quality technical fabrics that wick away sweat, stretch to fit your movement, and feature practical innovations like a reinforced, seamless crotch to keep you comfortable.
Here are some of the fabrics that Club Ride has developed to suit city commuters, mountain bikers and urban riders:
Club Ride is a line of apparel for the everyday cyclist. The rider who appreciates performance features, but still wants to look good once they get off the bike. To see our full collection of Club Ride apparel, click here.

"Everything In Moderation"
"Everything in moderation" is a common line often used by those trying to support their decision to eat and live a certain way while at the same time feeling as though they need to justify to others their lack of discipline and dedication to their health. You don't need to live in a air-purified bubble and eat only raw food to be healthy, though there are some (actually many) products that have no place in your diet of "moderation" if you wish to be as healthy as you possibly can.
You need not deprive yourself of desserts and good tasting food to have a healthy and nutritious diet. High cacao content chocolate, maple syrup, and honey all have their place in a healthy diet. Even raw sugar is not a bad ingredient as long as it's not a staple in your diet. Moderation here is fine. But eating foods that have refined (white) sugars, high fructose corn syrup, and yes even agave, have no place in a healthy diet, even one of moderation. So swap out those sweeteners for pure ones, and you can eat them now and then, depending on your health, your activity level, and how well you process them.
That means if you eat some sugar and you're a raging lunatic or irritable after, then hey – you shouldn't eat sugar! If you get tired after eating sweets, even honey or maple syrup, then it's not for you. But if you feel fine after some treats made with these real ingredients and you don't have health problems which they may contribute to (pain, inflammation, a named disease, or just not feeling great), then by all means indulge – in moderation. And these foods can and do definitely have a place in high intensity and long duration exercise programs. So if you ran a marathon or just exercised hard for one hour, having a sugary snack after to replace glycogen is definitely warranted, but not one loaded with fake colors and flavors. How about after a one hour walk? Nope. If you need (or crave) sugar after that walk or even light run you were anaerobic and you need to work on your fitness training, not support it with the wrong foods.
Artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and lab-made chemicals sweeteners such as sucralose (Splenda) and aspartame (Nutrasweet) should never be a part of your diet. MSG and all those foods that are processed and create MSG should always be avoided too. So if you're at an office party or your kids are at a friend's birthday and they're having a traditional refined, bleached flour cake with artificial frosting made with hydrogenated fats then you can use the "everything in moderation" line, right? I'd disagree, as difficult and maybe uncomfortable as it may be. Why teach your kids to eat like the unhealthy masses who are often sick or taking a medication most likely in large part because of their diet of moderation (or excess in many cases)? My kids take a pass and bring their own treats to celebrate. They don't need to give into the peer pressure of an unhealthy practice – one that is more than moderation especially at this time of the year – there are excuses every weekend if not daily to indulge on foods that are truly damaging to your health. Moderation soon becomes a habit, the habit poor health, and then a disease.
How about those vegetable/nut/seed oils – the refined ones that are in so many products? Many of these oils are genetically modified (GMO) and while we're not exactly sure of the health impact of such modification, they are also inflammatory-type fats especially in the presence of sugary, carbohydrate-rich foods which they are often baked and processed with. These oils (corn, peanut, soy, safflower, canola, sunflower, cottonseed, and grapeseed), have no place in a healthy household pantry, yet they are definitely hard to completely omit from your diet if you're to venture outside your home. So moderation has its place here, but it should be contained. That's perhaps more vague than I often am but the best way to view it is to pay attention to your consumption. If you're eating foods with these oils during every meal that's definitely too much. If you're grabbing a common Whole Foods product with canola oil now and then, maybe that's okay, but the less you consume the healthier you'll be. And if you have health problems, even if you just feel tired, achy, or "old" then your moderation of these oils should be close to, if not absolutely, zero. Partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) and anything deep fried, even in olive oil, should never be consumed – any little bit is extreme. Cottonseed oils should be left for textile processing, not for human physiology.
Butter and coconut oil are the only fats you should be cooking with (organic lard is okay too if you're into that). Extra virgin olive oil and unrefined sesame seed oil are great fats to add to dishes after cooking. You can heat the olive oil a bit (keep it under 325) but never the sesame seed oil as you'll destroy many of the benefits.
Caffeine and alcohol consumption are common substances that are very individualized when they pertain to health. Moderation is a grey area here. If you need caffeine to give you energy then you're past your point of moderation. Same goes if you need alcohol to alter your mood or wind you down at the end of a long day. If you have a withdrawal headache without your typical cup(s) of Joe then again – too much. Interestingly the more stress you're under the more you'll tax your adrenal hormones and the more you'll desire caffeine to make up for that missing energy source. The stimulants in coffee and tea, not just the caffeine, will hinder your health even more at this time. Moderation here is more relative to your stress level. Your stress is higher than what you can handle and that's what you need to moderate.
So the point here is this – moderation has its place in every aspect of health – diet, exercise, sleep, work, play, etc. Let's not abuse the cliché line as an excuse to consume foods that are truly detrimental to health. If you can't grow it, stay away from it. If you can grow it and it has been altered (including being sprayed with pesticides or herbicides), be aware of the consequences it may have on your health. Real, unaltered foods are where moderation has its place, based upon how you feel, react, and of course how much you enjoy the product.
With the holidays now upon us, Halloween through Easter is a long time to play the moderation card. It's actually the time when your diet should be most healthy and "clean" as cold temperatures, travel, and overall holiday stress are enough to take their toll on your health. A diet of unhealthy moderation will leave you more susceptible to the flu, winter depression, weight gain, and a slew of other health problems including perhaps the start of a major disease. Of course any and all health problems will be "in moderation" too during some point of the disease process and soon you may be on a medication in moderation too!

Dr. Gangemi you are wonderful, to say the least, to share this fantastic and helpful information prior to the onslaught of decisions we must make for our holiday meals. You've taught me so much over the past few years and I am so grateful to you. You've also given me encouragement to reach others with this information as well. I do (as always) have a question for you. Is an organic canola oil like Spectrum, a brand I usually trust, on your " have no place in a healthy household pantry" hit list? Love to your family,

Love the site, I read it all the time.
This is a very important topic. Especially with the holiday season coming up, I am going to be going to tons of parties. Unfortunately, most social gatherings revolve around excessive eating and drinking of very unhealthy things.
Do you have any advice for maintaining an active social life without sacrificing your health? Do you just have to accept that you'll usually be "that guy" when you go out?
Tracy permalink
Hi Dr. G! Wondering how you convinced your kids not to eat traditional birthday cake? I have a two year old and have not quite fully entered the onslaught of birthday parties and I wonder how I can approach this with him. I'm trying to teach him which foods will give him energy (run faster or jump higher) and which ones will upset his belly or make his body feel bad. He has a sugar tooth which I try to remedy with fruit only but when other people are eating cake (or something sugary) while we're out somewhere, how can I say no? He would lose his mind! He eats well, low dairy (except for high fat plain yogurt), high healthy fats, organic where possible, meats and no juice except for special occasions etc.. I guess what I'm asking is how should the conversation go?
PS – I think you're a genius.

Two week trial is going great — have lost twelve pounds and am looking ripped! (HA!) Boy do I miss fruit and BEER — can't decide which I want to introduce first but, on your reco, am going with fruit.
See you in a couple of weeks!

Dr. Gangemi,
What is your opinion on grass fed, organic, raw milk.
Thank you,
Bill P permalink
Awesome article with perfect timing!!

I am sure you have come across the "Slow Carb" diet by now. What is your opinion? The departure from paleo is the addition of beans in order to prevent caloric starvation and metabolic slowdown. For the most part, bread, sweets, starches, refineds etc. are completely avoided except on one "cheat day" a week where nothing is off limits, in fact, you are encouraged to indulge for various scientific sounding reasons with acronyms like cAMP, GLUT, etc
any thoughts?

The top-seeded UCLA men's golf team split a pair of matches Sunday in the opening rounds of the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championship at Hawks Ridge Golf Club in Ball Ground, GA.
The Bruins defeated 16th-seeded South Carolina 5-0-0 in the morning's opening matches, but fell 3-1-1 to ninth-seeded Texas Tech in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the Red Raiders pulled off their second upset of the day by winning three of the top four matches. Freshman Patrick Cantlay, sophomore Mario Clemens and senior Connor Driscoll -- all winners in the first round -- fell in tight matches.
Junior Alex Shi Yup Kim was the only winner, taking a decisive 4 and 3 match at the No.5 spot. Kim never trailed in a match that started on the fourth hole. He sealed his victory with a birdie at the 18th hole.
After Cantlay cut a 2-up lead to one with a par at the 10th hole, the players halved the remaining holes to give Tech's Matt Smith a 1-up victory.
Main was three down after seven holes, but battled back to square the match at the 11th. The rest of the holes were halved and so was the match.
At No. 3, Tyler Weworski defeated Clemens 3 and 1. This match was all square at the ninth hole before Weworski won three of the last six holes.
At No. 4, Driscoll fell 3 and 2 to Chandler Rusk. Rusk made a birdie at the 14th and the rest of the holes were halved.
In the first match, Cantlay, Main and Clemens never trailed and Driscoll and Kim won with late pars.
Cantlay defeated South Carolina's Blaine Woodruff 3 and 2 in a match in which he was 3-up after the third hole and 4-up after 14. He won with a par at the 16th.
Main defeated Dean Hester, 4 and 2, sealing his victory with a birdie at the 16th.
Clemens defeated Wesley Bryan, 3 and 2. The UCLA sophomore was 3-up at the ninth but lost the 11th and 12th holes and was up just one hole. He won the 13th to go 2-up, holes 14-16 were halved and he secured the victory with a par on the 17th.
Starting on the third hole, Driscoll needed all 18 to defeat Logan Harrell, 1-up. The match went back and forth. Harrell birdied the 18th to square the match. The next hole was halved and Driscoll's par at the 2nd gave him a one-hole win.
Kim started on the fourth hole and was one down after Clint Tolleson birdied the 16th and 17th holes. Kim birdied the 18th to square the match and made consecutive pars on the next three holes while Tolleson faltered with two bogeys. Kim won 2-up.

Miranda Lambert Brings Sparkly Performance of 'Automatic' to 2014 ACMs
Miranda Lambert made the 2014 ACMs literally sparkle with her dazzling performance of her new single, 'Automatic.'
Miranda Lambert made the 2014 ACMs literally sparkle with her dazzling performance of her new single, 'Automatic.'
When you're a superstar, your personal life gets pushed into the spotlight almost as much as your career. Mix that with marrying a fellow famous face and you have the life of Miranda Lambert and husband Blake Shelton, whose marriage is constantly being put on blast -- often in a negative life.
Miranda Lambert's upcoming album 'Platinum' is one of the most highly anticipated records of the year. The magical release day, June 3, is still a couple months out, but Lambert has shared stories behind several of the tracks, giving fans something to munch on in the meantime.
Miranda Lambert's forthcoming 'Platinum' album promises to be full of humor, nostalgia and femininity, but it also includes fellow country star Carrie Underwood. Lambert admits that the exciting collaboration was nerve-racking, to say the least.
New music from Miranda Lambert is on the horizon! The star singer has announced the release date and cover art for a brand new album called 'Platinum.'
Kacey Musgraves came under fire when a camera "caught" her "frowning" during Miranda Lambert's win for Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2013 CMAs. She has finally spoken out about all the media-created drama over the fact that her expression was misinterpreted.
Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert take it to the fans in their video for 'We Were Us.'
'Nashville' stars Connie Britton and Chip Esten took the 2013 CMA Awards stage to present the Female Vocalist of the Year award to the one and only Miranda Lambert.
After Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley's hilarious shoutout to Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus, complete with a black and white striped suit and foam finger, an even more talented duo took to the stage -- Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban. And thank goodness, there was no twerking involved -- just great singing.
Miranda Lambert isn't just a loving wife to Blake Shelton -- she's also his No. 1 fan! And the hit songstress firmly believes that 'The Boys 'Round Here' singer should get the big daddy trophy at the 2013 CMA Awards.
While Hunter Hayes and songwriters Dean Dillon and Rodney Clawson were the big winners at the BMI Country Awards in Nashville on Tuesday (Nov. 5), Miranda Lambert's slim figure is stealing the morning headlines. The CMA Female Vocalist of the Year nominee stepped out in a sleeveless black gown tight enough to show off her signature curves ... except the curves stayed home.
The rumor mill is once again abuzz with talk of a potential Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert divorce. As he has in the past, once Shelton caught wind of the rumors, he took to social media to address them.

UN Urges Pakistan To Invest More in Family Planning
by VR Sreeraman on November 18, 2012 at 2:30 PM General Health News - G J E 4
A senior UN official has urged Pakistan to allocate more resources to family planning to curb rapid population growth in the country, as one-third of the Pakistanis have no access to contraception.
Rabbi Royan, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) chief in Pakistan, said that the country's population is growing by 2.05 percent a year and has reached the 180 million mark, making it the sixth most populous country in the world, reports the Daily Times.
AdvertisementMany couples who want to have fewer children have no access to contraceptives or family planning advice, he said, with the unmet need for birth control running at 33 percent.
"It is important that provincial and federal authorities demonstrate their full commitment through sustained and prioritized allocation of additional resources to family planning services and commodities," Royan said.
The issue of family planning was 'extremely relevant' to the country as the fertility rate remains very high as every mother on average gives birth to four children, he added.
Citing the latest UNFPA global report, Royan said that family planning delivers immeasurable rewards to women, families, and communities around the world.
Contraceptive prevalence has increased globally by just 0.1 percent per year over the last few years, according to the report.
The country had its last head count in 1998, which put the population at 132 million, and the government is working on a new population and housing census, according to the Population Census Organization (PCO) website.

Back in October, Beauty Buff introduced local makeup artist Isaac Meyers. He's seen and worked with a lot of famous faces in his day, making up celebs like Etta James, Rob Lowe, Josh Gad, Octavia Spencer, Ray Liotta, Ashton Kutcher and Rihanna, and this weekend, his work will shine on the red carpets at the Oscars.
Though he can't spill the beans just yet on who he'll be beautifying for Sunday's big event, he's let us in on a few of his personal pointers for getting your own red carpet look at home.
First, start with a foundation that offers coverage that will leave your skin looking flawless, but not cakey. "Red carpet skin is always matte and medium to full coverage," Meyers says.
A surefire way to catch the camera is a pair of lips that can't be missed. "Oscar season usually brings out dark burgundy or red lips," he says. "I'm sure we will see some matte red lips and a lot of smoky eyes." There are hundreds of choices for great red lip shades, so look for one that best complements your complexion. And if you're looking to hit the town in true celeb fashion, we'd suggest opting for a long-wearing formula.
And as for eyes, Meyers predicts that the Pantone color of the year (yep, that's emerald) will be rocking the red carpet this year, so keep an eye out to see how many variations you can spot.
Isaac Meyer's Makeup Must-Haves:
"I can't live without Sothys Paris Teint lift defense foundation & Sothys Paris lipgloss. The foundation gives flawless coverage and the lipgloss glides on and doesn't give that sticky look or feel."
"I love Got Beauty's local line, Pops Cosmetics. There pressed eyeshadow and blush give you high pigment and are easy bendable."
"And of course I can't live without Japanese cosmetic line Koh Gen Do's pearl highlighter. This is a celebrity's best friend. This product is blended on top of the foundation under the eyes, forehead and down the middle of face and neck. It diffuses the light and brightens other areas."

The numbers are in. The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Coon Rapids Campus Foundation's annual Prairie Home Delights event in late-September raised 20% more scholarship funds than last year, with a total of more than $23,000.
The foundation's Executive Director Marc Johnson credits the efforts of the foundation board members and the event committee for the successful evening and the $4000 increase over last year's $19,200.
"I just want to thank everyone who took part in the preparation of this event," says Johnson. "So much effort goes into this event, businesses offer sponsorships and people donate their time or baskets for auction. While a good time is had by all who attend, the real winners are the students who need this assistance to continue to pursue their education."
For the first time in several years, this year's event was hosted at the college's Coon Rapids Campus. Catering was provided by Taher Catering, known for their elegant affairs.

I was going through this dynamic programming problem. However, I have a confusion
In the third picture, having the black border, I didn't get how the
For each, we try each string of the k strings B ∈ L, and compute the optimal alignment of B with A[t : j] in time O(n(j − t)) = O(mn).
How it was O(n(j-t)).
Also, I didn't get how come there are $O(m^2)$ values of c(t,j)
Can anyone please explain?

Over at Club Chica Circle, Pauline saved some wine bottles to use for a craft project. She wanted to take advantage of their pleasing shapes and the beautiful colors of the glass.
After removing the labels from the wine bottles, Pauline created a stencil using her craft cutting machine. She chose a phrase that means a lot to her, "Every summer has a story." Once the stencil was ready, she used it to guide an application of glass etching cream onto her wine bottles. With the addition of tapered candles, her etched wine bottles are the perfect centerpiece for outdoor dining.
Click over to Club Chica Circle to get all the details on this pretty upcycling project.

"Beth David Synagogue in Greensboro, NC has included 92Y Live Simulcasts in our programming for years. The quality of their programs is so good that one of our members donates the cost to us each year to ensure the program continues and that ticket prices don't prevent others from participating. Our members of all ages eagerly await news of each season's line-up, and we love the variety of topics and speakers offered: sometimes political, sometimes literary, sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes entertaining, always informative. Just this morning I spoke with a man new to our community who was asking about our adult programming. He was delighted to learn that we participate in 92Y Live Simulcasts and wanted to be sure we got back to him once we had the fall schedule. Thank you for all the work you do to put these programs together and for making them available to those of us outside of New York."
—Lia Sater, Director of Programming and Congregational Services, Beth David Synagogue, Greensboro, NC
"Our community was very excited to be viewing and listening to a live webcast from the 92nd Street Y at their library. During the broadcast you could hear a pin drop and our packed house stayed to the very end. The ability to see in real time such an exciting program without having to go into the city, find parking, etc. was special for us. Our audience can't wait until the next webcast."
—Nadine Connors, Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library
"At Temple Beth Israel, Longboat Key FL we've been featuring 92Y Live broadcasts for over five years. The "Live" simulcast concept has resonated well with our audience. There is a spontaneity that's unique in this era of packaged content.
Over the years we grew from 3-4 programs a season to now using almost every program offered. The quality of the selections has been consistently high, and our attendance continues to climb as more visitors share their discovery with friends and neighbors. The responsiveness of the 92Y staff has been superb. I recall one broadcast when we had an equipment failure with a FULL sanctuary, and the 92Y techs managed to quickly enable web streaming to save the day."
—Richard Olin
"Here at Wycliffe members have greatly enjoyed our DVD showings of the 92nd Street Y Live Series. The variety of speakers and topics discussed ensure that there is something for everyone. We are very excited about participating in live streaming of the presentations this year and really being a part of the live action in NY."
—Alexandra Rappaport, Social Manager, Wycliffe Golf & Country Club
"The Live from NY's 92nd St. Y events have truly been an outstanding addition to our cultural offerings here at our Mary D. Fisher Theatre. Our audiences can't wait until the next simulcast! The programs are thought-provoking, inspiring, challenging, insightful and entertaining … sometimes all at the same time! It gives a much-needed platform for dialogue and understanding, and presents programs that are timely, topical and pulled from today's headlines. This program is now a major part of the cultural fabric of our community!"
—Patrick Schweiss, Executive Director, Sedona International Film Festival and Mary D. Fisher Theatre
"The ability to bring these broadcasts into our programming addresses a cost effective solution both for the theater and interested audiences… We look forward to offering this unique programming for years to come."

I need to build a python web server which supports 2 different types of users :
- "Super admins", which get full access to the admin panel when they connect using a pre-configured laptop/browser.
- Admins, which get limited access to the admin panel and can connect using only a username/password combo.
I'm thinking SSL client authentication is a possible solution for authentifying the technicians.
Note that the web server will be embedded in a product and will not have internet access, so cannot connect to a CA.
Is SSL client authentication a good solution, or is there a simpler, or better option?
Here's what I've found...
CherryPy seems to be a very nice, simple python web server. However, it does not seem to support client authentification.
M2Crypto seems like a very complete library which supports all forms of SSL authentification, however I haven't found a detailed example of how to set up a python web server using M2Crypto for SSL client authentification.
pyOpenSSL seems to be dead.
I also found a recipe, which explains how to set up a python web server with SSL. However...
With this recipe, only the server is authenticated while the client remains unauthenticated (i.e. the server will not request a client certificate).
Source : http://code.activestate.com/recipes/442473-simple-http-server-supporting-ssl-secure-communica/
Can someone point me in the right direction or link to a well documented implementation of what I'm trying to do?
Thank you :)

Worldwide, neurodevelopmental disabilities such as autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments affect millions of children. Some of these disorders are steadily increasing. For example, the rates of autism and ADHD are soaring. According to an international team of researchers, the number of industrial chemicals known to be related to autism has more than doubled over the past seven years. The findings were published in the March edition of the journal Lancet Neurology.
The researchers have been studying industrial chemicals that injure the developing brain for almost a decade. In 2006, they conducted a literature review and identified five industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene. They note that, since 2006, studies have identified six additional toxins that cause neurodevelopmental disabilities: manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
Chemicals such as manganese and fluoride, which are commonly present in drinking water, are rarely found in high enough concentrations in the US to pose a health threat; however, other chemicals on the list are much often present in the environment in harmful levels. For example, chlorpyrifos is an organic pesticide; 10 years ago it was banned for household use; however, it is still extensively used in agriculture and can be found in many fruits and vegetables. Tetrachloroethylene, which has been linked to damaging neurological function and increased risk of psychiatric disorders, is a common solvent used in dry cleaning. Another chemical on the list, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, is a flame retardant that is frequently present in couches. The pesticide DDT is now banned in the US due to human health risks, it is still present in imported fruits and vegetables, as well as in soil and water throughout the nation.
The aforementioned chemicals are far more harmful to the brains of developing fetuses, infants, and young children. During the first several weeks of pregnancy, the embryo forms the cells that eventually go on to become the brain and spinal cord. Those cells divide, multiply and migrate, forming many millions of connections with surrounding cells; thus, they form the pathways that form the body's central nervous system. If a chemical finds its way into the developing brain, it either destroys brain cells or disrupts cell division or cell migration; thus, those connections are lost and brain formation is incomplete. As a result, the affected child has a lower IQ and reduced attention span.
The researchers note that the increase in disorders such as autism and ADHD correlates well with the increased production and release into environment of synthetic chemicals over last 40 to 50 years. The study presents direct evidence that the industrial chemicals previously listed have been linked to neurologic problems in children."
At present, the US has no system that can screen the potential health effects of industrial chemicals before they enter the marketplace. The investigators note that, to reduce the levels of dangerous problems in the environment, this problem must be addressed. Therefore, they propose a global prevention strategy. Untested chemicals should not be presumed to be safe to brain development; furthermore, chemicals presently in use and all new chemicals should be tested for developmental neurotoxicity. They recommend the urgent formation of a new international clearinghouse to coordinate these efforts and to develop preventive measures.
The researchers are affiliated with the Department of Environmental Medicine, University of Southern Denmark (Odense, Denmark), the Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health (Boston, MA),and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (New York, NY).

Niall Horan Lusts After Rachel Shenton
Although Niall Horan has been linked to various ladies, he is yet to have high-profile relationship with anyone.
Niall has been linked to hotties such as Amelia Lily, Demi Lovato and student Amy Green.
All of his bandmates have been the centre of attention with their love life at one point, and Nialler seems to have just faded into the background.
But, maybe no more. Niall seems to have his sights set on Hollyoaks actress Rachel Shenton.
Rachel plays 'Mitzee' on the soap, and often receives comments about her likeness to red hot Cheryl Cole.
No wonder Nialler has a thing for her.
Rachel appeared on This Morning, which is when Niall spotted her.
During the interview, Nialler contacted the programme: 'That girl on @itvthismorning is beautiful.'
This Morning host Eamonn Holmes noticed the Tweet and mentioned later on in the show: 'Niall from One Direction has been in touch, commenting on our last guest saying how striking she was…'
Co-host Ruth Langsford then added: '…And she's single Niall, I've checked for you! That's all I'm saying!'
Rachel then took a photo of herseld holding a sign saying hello to the Irish heartthrob.
Niall replied with his own photo, holding a 'hello Rachel' sign.
Awww, who knows, maybe Nialler will get lucky? 😀

Pretty but...
By Yarngirl
from SC
Best Uses
I purchased this yarn several months ago to make a scarf with the requirements of:Worsted wt, heather charcoal colored, preferably natural fiber but minimal wool content, and was pleased to find this new yarn at Webs. It does work up with good stitch definition in cables and the silk content gives a nice luster. That said, it does shed and the loose fibers are from the linen, the silk , and hairs from the llama making it unacceptable for my use.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

How to Lengthen the Life of Your IBM ThinkPad Laptop Battery
IBM ThinkPad laptop computer owners love the fact that their notebooks give them the freedom of movement while they are using them. However, it is frustrating when you may be on a plane or in a car and you have nowhere to plug in your charger. The freedom of having a laptop suddenly ends when you have no power.
The only way you have of getting that freedom back is to charge it when you are able to get to an outlet. On the other hand, if you could just improve the life of your notebook battery this problem will not come around too often. Here are several ways to make sure you do not run your battery down sooner than you have to.
Put your screen settings on low.
Most laptop computers have the ability for you to dim the screen. Some notebooks will even let you change CPU and cooling system properties. If you can, put all of features things on their lowest settings.
Add another RAM stick or two if possible.
Having more RAM will allow you to process more on your computer without using virtual memory. Virtual memory will result in the use of your hard drive and can be much less power efficient. Adding ram will also take more energy, so whenever possible, try not to run programs that need a lot of RAM.
Defrag your computer often.
If your hard drive can do what it needs to quickly there will be less demand on it and therefore less demand on your battery. The best way to make sure you hard drive is working as quickly as it can is to defrag regularly and make sure that while you are defragging that your computer is plugged in.
Shutdown all programs that are running in the background.
To run at maximum efficiency you should make sure that you are not running any background programs like iTunes, windows media player or messenger. Try not to run anything that is not absolutely crucial to the project at hand.
Try not to use your CD or DVD player whenever possible.
Running a disk will take more power. You should try to work off your hard drive instead of putting in a program. However, we all know that many programs will not run without a disk, therefore this cannot be avoided sometimes.
Do not always run your laptop while it is plugged in.
You should exercise your battery by running only on it at least once every couple of weeks. Also, if you have a newer computer with a newer type battery you should never let it go completely dead, doing this is best for older batteries that have memory problems.
Use the hibernate option instead of the stand by option when the computer is not in use.
By putting your computer on standby you will still be losing battery but in hibernate mode the computer will save its current state and shut down.
These are just a few of the many power saving tips available for your IBM ThinkPad laptop computer. You can search online and find many more that are just as great as the ones that are listed above. We all know that some people cannot use all of the power saving tips but they can do some. Every little bit helps when trying to save your battery power for as long as possible.

This box caught my eye when one of the guys from the computer department was showing me how to do some of their web work.
I had to take a picture of it; not only is it already a relic of the digital age, the box features the World Trade Center towers.
The resolution is .26 megabytes. The output, according to the spec page is 320×240 dots. What would you even do with that? There's no place for a memory stick, it just has 2 MB of internal flash memory. The swivel lens is pretty cool though.
It takes four AA batteries, and when you shake it, it makes a vicious rattle, so I don't think I'll be shooting with it any time soon.
Oh, and for a major laugh, check out the battery pack this guy rigged up for his. Be sure to scroll down and see how he wears it on his belt. Now imagine him running through an airport with his camera.

It was late October and I had been working on our house trying to get it ready to put on the market to sell. We were ready to move out of a fast growing city to a more secluded area in the country. As a result, I missed the first two weeks of the Texas archery season for the first time in over 20 years. What a bummer.
As it turns out, I haven't killed a deer during Texas archery season in three years with many hours logged in the stand. Well, that luck changed in a hurry, as you will soon find out. I finally had enough of working at the house and decided to go hunting on the 17th of October. I got packed around noon, after my grandson's football game, and headed to the lease in Megargel, Texas.
Anybody ever been disorganized on the first hunt of the season? I had trouble finding everything. I finally shot my bow on Friday afternoon about 20 times. (I wounded my lawnmower and scared all the cats out of the neighborhood.) So I was just ready to get away for some R&R. Ha!
I got to the lease about 3:30 p.m., and ran and checked the pictures on one of my trail cameras, only to find out it died about two weeks earlier. So I had no good recon info available and the wind was wrong for my No. 1 stand anyway. So I decided to hunt from my No. 2 stand on the big creek where the blowing northeast wind would be perfect. My scent would carry back into the thick stuff next to the creek, away from the bedding area and away from the deer's approach direction.
I headed to my stand about 5 p.m., when I parked the four-wheeler and started getting my hunting stuff together. I couldn't find my trigger release in my soft bow case, so I hopped back on the wheeler and flew back to camp to get the release out of my hard case. Could anything else go wrong?
I finally made it to my stand and had to wade through the wait-a-minute vines that had grown around my tripod. Ouch! Of course I didn't leave any scent on the vines, just some blood. Can deer smell and recognize human blood?
I had been in my stand about 30 minutes when I noticed a doe browsing in the field between the dead mesquite trees. I watched her for about 20 minutes then she disappeared. About 10 to 15 minutes later, I noticed a doe coming from the bedding area north of my stand, then another one, then one more; a total of 6. The first old doe cautiously made her way along the edge of the creek brush to the feeder and the others followed in single file.
When the last three does were about 50 yards from my stand, they spooked like a covey of quail and ran about 80 yards out into the field. I said to myself, "What the heck was that all about?" thinking a group of hogs I'd heard earlier were coming out on the trail from the thicket. Boy, was I wrong.
The big 10-point I was after popped his head out, and all I could see was a head full of antlers. I have at least 50 pictures of this deer so I recognized immediately. My hunter instincts went into overdrive as I tried to get ready for a shot. "Don't get excited," I told myself. "Clip on the release—move slowly, don't let the does in the feeder see you. Where's the shot?"
The buck followed the trail that the first does used to come to the feeder. When he went behind a big bushy tree, I moved into position, also keeping an eye on the does. The buck came to the edge of a big tree, stuck his head out surveying the situation, making me all the more anxious.
He didn't wait long. Two quick steps and he jumped into the pen running the does out. I took this opportunity to draw my bow during the commotion, but he faced away from me and I tried coaxing him to move forward and turn. One bite of corn, two bites of corn, "Come on, move," then he took two steps to the right, giving me a quartering away shot.
I settle the 20-yard pin in behind the last rib and squeezed the trigger. The arrow appeared to fly in slow motion and found the target. He exploded out of the pen and up the hill for about 80 yards. Inside the stand, I was screaming, "Go down! Go Down!"
The buck's legs finally became wobbly, and then he fell. All that took place in about one minute. The best part after shooting a deer is not having to follow a blood trail. I guess good things do come to those who wait.
The buck had 10 points and gross scored 1314⁄8 P&Y. It wasn't my biggest buck taken with a bow, but a very special and memorable one. Definitely my shortest hunt.

Why are grandparents grumpy?
My grandpa passed away 3 1/2 years ago. Instead of grandma becoming closer to the family, she is pulling away. Grandma was never a grouchy person; so what makes grandparents grumpy as they get older? The conclusion I've come up with is as they get older they are probably tired more often, exhausted from family drama, and feel more pain than normal due to achy bones and health complications.
The next question, how do we get along with our grandparents when they aren't always nice? Here are a few ideas to try and relate to your elders.
Step #1: try to keep in contact with them at least once a month. Let the grandparent do the talking while you sit back and listen. (might I add, keep the conversation short. The shorter the better.)
Step #2: Offer to occasionally help them out. (For example: clean their house, cook a meal, take the trash out, etc.) Respect their wishes whatever their answer is when you try to be helpful.
Step #3: Don't aggravate the grandparent. Don't ask them "how is living in the green tomb?" (the color is of the family member's house) Be nice as much as possible, but make sure everything is based around what the family member appreciates and enjoys.
Step #4: Try to think about things from their perspective. By putting yourself in their shoes, maybe you will understand that person a little better and learn how to communicate with them more effectively.
Nothing says communicating with our elders is easy. At times, it feels like they go out of their way to hurt our feelings and be mean just because they can. If they continually be mean, then it is for you to decide if you walk away from the relationship. If not, hang in there. Keep trying to communicate. Things will be better at some point.

This is a great dress that will allow you to feel comfortable while looking divine. It is a cocktail length with a full skirt that makes you feel like Grace Kelly and has pockets. The dress is in mint condition. It was minimally altered at the bust but is fitted for a 34″ bust and 26″ waist. It hits mid-calf on me and I'm 5'4″, did not have the hem taken up. I wore it only once and had it dry cleaned by an eco-cleaner. This is truly a one-of a kind dress in a style that's no longer made.

Do do do do do do do
It's a world of fantasy
It's a world where I'm never alone
It's a world of sheer make believe
Where all young lovers have gone
To set their hearts at ease
Do do do do do do do
It's a world of fantasy
I go there whenever I please
To make life have a new face
No one intrudes on my privacy
To me it's a most wonderful place
Do do do do do do do
It's a world of fantasy
It is where no problems lie
And lovers we all become
We live with love and never cry
'Cause the lovers' sum is one plus one
So come on, love, and follow me
To my world
(To my world of fantasy)
Come, my love
(To my world of fantasy)
Come to my world of fantasy
Mmm, mmm, yeah
(To my world of fantasy)

well they mentioned that you can set the seasons differently for each. It sounds like home life freezes while you are gone, just like when you go on vacation...so whatever season it was when you left would be what it is when you get back. Getting a clarification on that one in a bit.
Yep...confirmed: home life freezes while gone.

Also, regarding the Season: So this means I can live out my Summer week, send my Sim to school on the first day of fall, set my season to fall in University, then after the week or 2 weeks is up, my Sim comes home the same day he/she left, and can then finish out the fall week, and go back on the first day of winter. Am I right? And if so, we can arrange it so that we really don't lose any time at home, and still have our Sims spend all their young adult lives in Uni without losing anytime at home.
That's what I've been saying all along. Am I right in that?

Named after the gigantic 133-year-old Moreton Bay fig tree that looms over the entrance to the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, FIG restaurant, located just off the hotel lobby, is offering a locally and seasonally sourced menu that even tree huggers would admire.
And they have just launched the Fig Bungalow, a freestanding rustic cottage with a full bar, separate menu, comfortable seating and an unrivaled view of sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
The place is jamming, with lines out the door every day but Monday, when it's closed. I was at a party to celebrate the new Fig signature label wine, a collaboration between La Fenetre winemaker Joshua Klapper of the Santa Maria Valley near Santa Barbara, and Fig Executive Chef Ray Garcia. The Chardonnay is pure California while the Pinot Noir bows toward Burgundy. And the wine can be purchased for carry-out at $36 and $42 per bottle, respectively.
Well-traveled chef Ray Garcia honed his skills working in the kitchen with national treasure Thomas Keller at his world famous French Laundry in the Napa Valley town of Yountville and at two-starred Michelin restaurant Cyrus in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, alongside Douglas Keane. In Los Angeles he toiled at the Peninsula Hotel before taking on the duties at FIG.
A fanatic when it comes to eating locally grown sustainable foods and keeping a green kitchen, Angeleno magazine dubbed him "locavore-acious" in their "Best of LA" picks. The restaurant sources food from the local Farmer's Market, filters its water, composts and even recycles its fryer oil into soap.
A Political Science graduate of UCLA, Ray worked his way through college in the kitchens of several restaurants, which developed his interest in becoming a chef rather than a lawyer. "Food choose me, I didn't choose it. The tastes, smells, sounds and camaraderie of the professional kitchen all kept drawing me back in, so I enrolled in culinary school instead of law school."
Describing FIG's ambiance as "inviting and approachable," the bungalow menu is fun and full of small plate items, from lobster rolls to upscale hotdogs and high end hamburger sliders, chased by creative and delicious cocktails or savored with the house wine.
The hotel has a storied history in which the bungalows have a major role. Situated across from the Pacific Ocean bluffs, the gardens lead past the outdoor pool to little bungalows whose rooms have provided shelter for Hollywood trysts and stays by Marilyn Monroe, Gretta Garbo, Cary Grant, Susan Hayward, Betty Grable, who was discovered while singing at the hotel bar, Doris Day, President John F. Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt, Charles Lindbergh, Mark Twain, Susan B. Anthony, King Gillette of razor fame, rock bands, world leaders and just everyday people, presumably not staying in the bungalows alone.
The hotel grounds were originally the home of John P. Jones, the founder and developer of the city and first Mayor. He had his choice of locations and he choose this one for it's spectacular views of the bay and the beauty of the property. Later on he donated the bluffs to the city of Santa Monica and it was named Palisades Park, a two mile stretch of walking paths that meander through gardens with spectacular trees and flora of all sorts, magnificent palms, recreation and rest areas and a vista that stretches 30 miles, from Malibu to Palos Verdes.
The hotel has been a location site for multiple films and TV shows, there are only so many ocean front properties with views like this. The Fairmont Miramar, it will make you care a FIG.

FCW Prime April 2013,
Posted Date:
Sales continue to rise in Q1
U.S. floor coverings sales (shipments minus exports plus imports) continue to increase in dollars and square feet along with the recovery in the U.S. housing market, according to Catalina Research's first quarter report. Manufacturer dollar sales are estimated to have increased by 4 percent in the first quarter of 2013, and volume sales could have increased by 2 percent, reported Catalina.
These increases are below the overall gains for 2012, since first quarter gains have historically been the weakest of the year. However, growth is accelerating with the increase in the first quarter of 2013 estimated to have increased more than three times the level experienced in the first quarter of 2012.
Stronger growth has been led by the gains in the builder market, according to Catalina. The builder market led industry gains with about a 26 percent increase in housing starts in the first quarter of 2013. This continues the sharp gains in the new home market that surged in the second half of 2012. Housing starts surged as the inventory of existing homes for sale plummeted; interest rates hit historic lows; and, household finances improved.
The increase in builder purchases, however, has been held back somewhat by the increasing importance of smaller multi-family units during the current new housing recovery. An increase in the average size of new single family homes and multi-family housing units in the fourth quarter of 2012 is indicating stronger growth potential in the builder market this year. Builder purchases may also be moving upmarket as the value of the average new housing unit sold rises. Average prices rose by about 8 percent in the first quarter of 2013.
Rising existing home prices are also giving a boost to the residential replacement market. Household floor covering spending is growing about 4 percent annually, which is in line with the increase in existing home prices. In addition, replacement sales are being aided by the 8 percent to 9 percent increase in existing home sales over the past year, since some 28 percent of existing home buyers invest in new flooring in the first year of ownership. Non-mover replacement purchases, however, have remained sluggish since gains in employment and personal income have remained weak during the current economic recovery.
Employment and income gains have been weak, in part, due to the cutback in spending at all levels of government. This fiscal drag is dampening demand in commercial markets since government spending represented some 39 percent of total nonresidential building construction spending in 2012. Government building construction spending is estimated to have declined by 11 percent in the first quarter of 2013. This compares to a 9 percent increase in private nonresidential building construction spending and a 23 percent gain for residential building construction spending.
Hard surface flooring continues to make inroads in all end-use markets. In the first quarter of 2013, hard surface flooring is estimated to have accounted for 48.7 percent of total dollar sales and 44 percent of total square foot sales. This is up from 46.7 percent and 42.4 percent, respectively, in the first quarter of 2012. Manufacturer hard surface flooring sales are estimated to have increased by 8.3 percent in dollars and 5.8 percent in square feet over this period.
Meanwhile, reported Catalina, carpet and area rug sales were flat in dollars and could have declined by about 1 percent in square feet. The weakness in soft surface sales is centered in wall-to-wall carpet lines. Conversely, area rug sales continue to grow as consumers purchase area rugs to accent their new installations of ceramic tile, resilient flooring, and wood flooring — the strongest growing sectors of the U.S. floor coverings market.
Hard surface flooring lines are expected to make additional inroads over the entire year as a recovering housing market pushes overall industry growth to levels not seen since the mid-2000s.

There are two main ways to treat lactose intolerance:
Reduce the amount of lactose you eat, by limiting milk and dairy products
Taking commercially available enzyme substitutes
People with lactose intolerance need to read labels of all prepared foods to see if they contain lactose. The highest concentrations are found in ice cream and milk. Cheeses typically have lower amounts of lactose. Some products listed as nondairy, such as powdered coffee creamer and whipped toppings, may contain lactose if they contain ingredients that are derived from milk. When you read food labels, look for words such as whey, curds, milk byproducts, dry milk solids and nonfat dry milk powder. If any of these ingredients are on the label, the product probably contains lactose.
If you completely avoid lactose, your symptoms should go away. If they do not, the diagnosis might not be correct. Many people will be able to tolerate a gradual increase in lactose intake if they are careful to monitor their symptoms. Doctors often recommend ice cream for this. It tends to be tolerated better than other foods that contain lactose because of its high fat content. As you gradually increase your lactose levels, review your diet with your doctor or a nutritionist to be sure that you are eating the proper proportions of fat, protein and other nutrients.
There are several commercially available enzyme formulations (tablets and liquids) that can serve as lactase replacements. You can add these to foods that contain lactose to reduce symptoms significantly. However, these products rarely get rid of symptoms completely, and the results vary among people and with different product formulations. Pretreated dairy products are an extremely effective alternative. You can add enzyme drops to milk and then refrigerate the milk for 24 hours before use or you can purchase dairy products that have been treated to reduce the lactose ("lactose-free" milk). "Acidophilus" milk still has too much lactose to be useful for most people with lactose intolerance.
Many people with lactose intolerance have a difficult time getting enough calcium in their diet. Also they may have low levels of vitamin D. This increases the risk of osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become thin and fragile. Therefore, be sure to consume at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium each day (1,200 milligrams if you are a postmenopausal woman) and get at least 600 International Units of vitamin D daily. Most people with lactose intolerance are able to tolerate live culture yogurt, one good source of calcium. Vegetables such as broccoli, Chinese cabbage, collard greens and kale are also excellent sources of calcium. If you are not able to get enough calcium in your diet, you may need a daily calcium supplement.

CSS Cheat Sheet
By Tor Norbye on May 08, 2005
Here's a handy cheat sheet for CSS, which includes selectors, the box model, and organizes the various properties into logical categories. Read the full explanation here. You'll still want a bookmark to the spec property index though.
Dave Hyatt, who works on the Safari browser (but used to work on Gecko, the rendering engine
in Mozilla and Firefox) recently posted a fascinating blog entry on
some optimization possibilities in CSS browser implementations.
As part of his long discussion, he mentions that both Gecko and Safari call HTML attributes that
affect CSS "mapped attributes".
I didn't know that -- in my code I've called them non-CSS presentational hints, as in
applyNonCssPresentationalHints(). Yep - super ugly
name but that's what
the CSS spec calls them.
I like "mapped attributes" better so I think I'm going to rename my related methods!
Finally, JSR 273 which I recently mentioned was discussed on the ServerSide the last couple of days, but the signal to noise ratio was extremely low. However the referenced Artima interview with Joe is good.

Article ID: 638 - Last Modified: June 7, 2011
I have a structure and a predicted binding site, and millions of compounds to dock, but no known actives. Is there any way to predict the things that are going to be active and exclude things that are almost certainly going to be inactive?
Probably the best approach to this problem is to use the Virtual Screening Workflow. This workflow involves running Glide HTVS, Glide SP, and Glide XP successively on your database, passing the top fraction of compounds on to subsequent stages. This multi-stage approach makes very large (million+ compound) screens possible in a reasonable time (the full database is docked only with the fastest mode), while still running Glide XP to generate the final results. Glide XP has additional penalty terms to help weed out false positives.
Keywords: actives, inactives, Virtual Screening Workflow, Glide XP, Glide SP
