Deepika began her Bollywood journey in 2007 through her star-studded film Om Shanti Om alongside the Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan.
Since then, Padukone's film and career in general went onwards and upwards, landing her several advertising campaigns, magazine covers and roles in some of Bollywood's biggest movies to date.
Whether she's rocking classic, retro or designer Indian saris or walking in international designer gowns or jeans and a tee, Deepika clearly knows how to rock almost in all types of looks.

A weekend in Milwaukee for TV's Adam Richman
Adam Richman, late of the eating-challenge show "Man v. Food," has been filming around Milwaukee this weekend for his new show on the Travel Channel, "Fandemonium."
It's a show centered on uber-fan gatherings around the country and this weekend has been focused on the Milwaukee Brewers and Miller Park (the Brewers put out a call awhile back, seeking "superfans" with elaborate tailgating operations for filming this weekend). »Read Full Blog Post
Riverwest 24 gets neighborhood rolling
Riverwest is just one exceedingly cool neighborhood, but never as much as during the Riverwest 24, an around-the-clock, full-day bike ride. Born through the movement of community block watches, the event is fun whether you're riding or not. It also brings new faces into the neighborhood, strengthens ties among neighbors and encourages the notion of urban biking.
Described as an "exercise in stamina, teamwork and merriment," the Riverwest 24, or RW24 for short, starts at 7 p.m. Friday and ends at 7 p.m. Saturday. »Read Full Article
Etheridge's voice adds spice to musical comfort food
Melissa Etheridge has definitely had an interesting life: coming out, becoming a mother, recovering from breast cancer. Saturday night at the Riverside Theater, she mentioned being cancer-free for nine years, but her performance was almost entirely informed by being a girl from Kansas who was raised on classic rock, rather than by her later experiences.
Playing for more than two hours, Etheridge clearly wanted her show to be as much about the music as possible. She touched on pretty much every minor and major hit, and the resulting set was like a huge meal of ham and eggs, burgers and fries or any other basic meat-and-potatoes combination. »Read Full Article(5)

Not Fade Away: Boston's Self-Titled Debut Turns 40"Boston" is a classic album that's sold 17 million copies. But the song "Rock and Roll Band" is all lies.
Sublime's Self-Titled Album Turns 20: The Album That Almost Wasn'tOver the course of several interviews we discovered that "Doin' Time" almost never came to be, that producer David Kahne almost quit, and that the album almost never saw the light of day.

Not Fade Away: Guns N' Roses Covers Album "The Spaghetti Incident?" Turns 20 and Is Totally Not BadThe hubbub came mainly from the album's "hidden track," where Axl Rose performed an acoustic version of Charles Manson's "Look At Your Game, Girl." Rose wasn't shy about his love for Manson, rocking shirts with the singers' face during the Use Your Illusion tour. The song...well, there's a reason it's hidden: It doesn't add to the album, and feels tacked on solely to gain attention.
Not Fade Away: U2 Set Their Sights On America With 'Under A Blood Red Sky'Their June 5, 1983 concert at the Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado would prove an important step in taking them from their underground roots and their Springsteen-ian ambitions. They filmed the show for a live "home video" (as they were called in those pre-DVD days), Live At Red Rocks; two of the songs from that would also be used for the Under A Blood Red Sky EP (which also included performances recorded in Boston and Germany).

I hate to keep being the bearer of bad news but we just lost soul legend Wilson Pickett: see this Billboard obit for details.
The guy was only64, not exactly a ripe old age. Many was the time that I played "Engine No. 9" 0n my classic rock show that I had at my college radio station, grooving to the Wicked One's shout and the fuzzed out guitar or him going up against Duane Allman on "Hey Jude" (which Eric Clapton was a fan of also and stands as one of the best Beatles covers ever). And then there's "In the Midnight Hour" (which Robert Christgau reckoned was better than anything Aretha ever did), his frenzied version of "Land of 1000 Dances," the Falcons' "I Found A Love" (before his solo career began and already sounding like a star) and more and more… Don't take my word for it though- if you don't have it already, do yourself a favor and get Wilson Pickett's Greatest Hits to remember what we lost and what he gave us.

Quiet Nightsby Diana Krall
View All Available Formats & Editions
"It's not coy. It's not 'peel me a grape,' little girl stuff. I feel this album's very womanly -- like you're lying next to your lover in bed whispering this in his ear."/i>
Diana Krall's twelfth album is titled Quiet Nights. Using Brazil as a musical point of reference, the award-winning pianist and singer is not suggesting a night out; she means to stay in.
"It's not coy. It's not 'peel me a grape,' little girl stuff. I feel this album's very womanly -- like you're lying next to your lover in bed whispering this in his ear."
She's not kidding. From Krall's refreshing version of "Where or When" to an utterly soul-stilling rendition of "You're My Thrill," the ten songs on Quiet Nights are disarming in their intimacy. Even those already familiar with the breathy vocals and rhythmic lilt in Krall's music -- and now there are millions -- will be taken aback by just how far the music pushes, unabashedly, into the realm of sweet surrender.
"It's a sensual, downright erotic record and it's intended to be that way." From the Label

After a long day at the office I heard this record and I felt my muscle relaxing inmediatly, although there is nothing new in the arrangements, the music and melody did it for me.
very soothing as if you stand still long enough on a cool morn and the dew will saturate your body this music and lyrics does just that
I love Diana Krall however I felt the album was lacking her sultry style, it was not exciting.
A little disappointing...slow and lackluster material
Diana Krall, in my opinion, is a gorgeous girl, has a fantastic voice, and is an accomplished pianist. The selections on this CD are excellent, as are the musicians who back her up. I have a number of her other CDs, and the one "issue" I have with her is that on many of her numbers there seems to be a lack of emotion, almost like she's going through the motions. (I will admit that it is possible that she may be just too laid back for my taste.) I still find this present in some of the songs on this CD, but not nearly as much as on some of her earlier efforts. Again, in my opinion, the best selection on this CD is Track 10 - "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry." If she would come across with the emotion she shows on this number on many of her other selections, I would certainly give this a higher rating. However, for anyone who enjoys the standards she presents here, and likes her fantastic voice, this is an album I would definitely recommend buying. I know that I will buy more Diana Krall CDs in the future.
Normally I really enjoy jazz and like Krall. But in this album she is so stylized that except for the melody change there is little creativity in her handling of the material. The orchestration and vocal renditions are all the same feel and color. She is a much better artist then this product suggests. She can be creative and passionate in her music but this album is suitable for the elevator.
Unfortunately, I would rate the entire cd "fair to midland..." A huge Diana Krall fan, I expected so much more. However, her arrangement of "Walk on By" is extraordinary. Her vocals along with the orchestra's arrangement are quite seductive...
From the opening number and through most of the album, there seems to be a huge disconnect between the artist and the arrangements. The "Nelson Riddle" like orchestral arrangements never gets into the spirit of the bossa nova rhythm and appears to only provide a lush "wall of sound" which tended to overpower the vocalist. At times its tempo and key did not synch with Ms Krall. It was a clash of styles, not a good match. As to Ms Krall, her performance never got into the excitement of what bossa nova is all about. The orchestration overwhelmed her voice. Her interpretation was too lazy and laid back. Her attempt to integrate the rhythm of the bossa nova into the standards leave much to be desired. An artist of her stature should do better. Her attempt to sing in Portuguese was flat, lacking the emotional quality needed to bring the language and phrases to life. The concept of the album was exciting --- her past performances, repute, and the publicity drew me to buy the album. After listening to it, alone and with friends, it seemed to be put together without much serious planning and thought like a "knock-off" album. Perhaps I should have left it on the shelf.
An enchanting collection excellent for drifting away with your Significant Other. You will feel like you've had a mini vacation when the music ends. Definitely glad we bought is!
Too soft and lacking emotion, I'd rather watch paint dry than listen to this recording anain.
I absolutely love Diana Krall's music to work by, for relaxing or while entertaining. This is another great find!
Nice soothing music to relax by.
Enjoy this warm and smooth CD by Diana Krall. It is soothing and enjoyable. Nice to start the day or relax at the end. So glad I purchased it. Christine
We love most of Diana Krall's music, but Quiet Nights is even better. I recommend it to any music lover.
This is a perfect CD to relax to in the evening - after a hectic day when everything has been hard or aggravating. I loved it!
I have all her cd's and there is not a bad one in the bunch..She is soo talented both as a singer and at the piano that I just enjoy listening to any of her recordings..This new release is just so smooth and romantic one could listen all night..If you like romantic music this is for you..
Did a fine job on some old favorites.
Quiet Nights is Diana's best CD to date. Anxious to see her in person this July on Cape Cod.
Diana Krall is simply incredible. This is an amazing collection of songs and music. Diana's choice of material never ceases to amaze me. She uses emotion in such a powerful way. And she is by far in a class of her own when it comes to singing jazz.
This bluesy cd is great listening either alone or over dinner/conversation as it creates reflections of the past.
It's a dance, a sexy samba, a Brazilian bossa nova, or just a steamy slow dance when the feet don't really move at all. This is Diana Krall, excellent as usual, but on this album, she minimizes her vocal ornaments creating a basic truth and simplicity that is quite effective. She sings a Jobim selection in Portuguese, very beautiful. She adds piano sparingly, but when she does, it's lovely as always. This is a must-have for your Krall collection.
See above.
REALLY enjoy this CD. Put it in the mix in my car and find myself bypassing others to go directly to it. Wonderfully sultry and inspiring, the artist exquisitely makes timeless classics not sound like "remakes". Her work captures your attention and, I'm quite sure, I'll be listening to this CD for a long time to come. A very welcome addition to my listening library ! ! ! Thank you.
I love listening to Diana Krall and her new album is no exception. Her voice is very relaxing and never over the top. I even enjoyed her version of "The Boy form Ipanema".

Pousada Vale del Sol: Quiet place, though 700 mts from the beach
You'll get an apartment with 1 or 2 bedrooms, including breakfast. The apartments have a kitchen so you don't have to eat out every day.
Maid service is included too. Towels are changed every day. The rooms have TV (no cable so just 5 channels in Portuguese!), security box and air-conditioning.
The "pousada" has: outdoor and indoor swimming pools, tennis court, football pitch, sauna and bar.
As it is located away from the beach and main street, the only sound you hear at night is the toads.
It takes a 15-minute walk to get to downtown or to Quatro Ilhas beach.
I think this is a good place for families, but rather pricey for young people as we do not need all those facilities to have a good time or to feel comfortable, and most of all: you won't use them! only the sauna on a rainy day.
The best thing to do is to get to Bombinhas without having a reservation and find an apartment there. Believe me, there are signs everywhere! They say "aluga-se", meaning "for rent". And of course you'll get better prices. Any apartment for 4 people is around 100 reales (30 dollars). I payed 200 reales for this place!!!

Pousada Villa Paradiso: Best nature hotel in town
Simply breathtaking view from any of the huts you get by staying in the "pousada".
Located right between the ship harbor in Bombinhas and the main beach, you can simply relax in the jacuzzis or in the japanese ofuros found all over the decks.
Almost everything one can expect from a beach resort: sofisticated acomodations and service in a simple beach atmosphere, greate view, lots of pools and near the town centre.

Weight-loss results vary from patient to patient, and the amount of weight you lose depends on several things. The LAP-BAND® System needs to be in the right position, and you need to be committed to your new lifestyle and healthy eating habits.
Although the LAP-BAND® System is not meant to be removed, it can be. Physicians report that the stomach generally returns to its original shape once the band is removed. After the removal, though, you may soon go back up to your original weight.
The LAP-BAND® System makes you eat less and feel full in two ways – first by reducing the capacity of your stomach and second by increasing the time it takes food to get through the digestive system. After a small meal, the amount of which varies from person to person, you should feel full. If you follow the nutrition guidelines when you choose your food and then chew it well, you should not feel hungry or deprived. Remember that the LAP-BAND® is a tool to help you change your eating habits.
The LAP-BAND® System does not hamper physical activity including aerobics, stretching and strenuous exercise.
Adjustments are performed without surgery, using a thin needle to inject or withdraw saline from the band via the access port. They can be done in an office setting or can be carried out in the X-ray department under flouroscopy. When X-rays are used, your reproductive organs should be shielded. Sometimes most adjustments take 10 to 15 minutes and patients say they are nearly painless.
After a successful procedure, you will not have any activity restrictions based on the access port. It is placed under the skin in the abdominal wall, and once the incisions have healed the access port should not cause discomfort or limit any physical exercise. The only sensation you may experience from the port occurs when you go in for adjustments.
This is a fairly common feeling, especially for patients with bands that are tight to begin with to facilitate maximum weight loss, or for patients who have just had an adjustment. During the day the water content in the body changes, causing the band to feel tighter some of the time. Some women have also noticed that the LAP-BAND® System feels tighter during menstruation.
One of the major advantages of the LAP-BAND® System is that it can be adjusted. If your illness requires you to eat more, the band can be loosened by removing saline from it. When you have recovered from your illness and want to lose weight again, the band can be tightened by increasing the amount of saline. If the band cannot be loosened enough, it may have to be removed.
Becoming pregnant can be easier as you lose weight. Your menstrual cycle may become more regular. If you need to eat more while you are pregnant, the band can be loosened. After pregnancy, the band may be made tighter again and you can resume losing weight.
You may eat most foods that don't cause you discomfort. However, because you can only eat a little at any given time, it is important to include foods rich in important vitamins and nutrients—foods such as those recommended by your physician and/or dietitian. If you eat foods that contain lots of sugar and fat or drink liquids full of empty calories, such as milkshakes, the effect of the LAP-BAND® System may be greatly reduced or even cancelled.
You may. It's possible to not get enough vitamins from three small meals a day. At your regular check-ups, your physician will evaluate whether you are getting enough vitamin B12, folic acid, and iron.
You should be able to take prescribed medication, though you may need to (1) use capsules or (2) break big tablets in half or dissolve them in water so they do not get stuck in the stoma and make you sick. Always ask the doctor who prescribes the drugs about this. Your physician may tell you to avoid taking aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers because they may irritate the stomach. The problems these drugs may cause could result in band removal.
Alcohol has a high number of calories and breaks down vitamins so it is not recommended as a healthy food choice. However, an occasional glass of wine or other alcoholic beverage is not necessarily considered harmful to weight loss.
Check-ups are a normal and very important part of the LAP-BAND® System follow-up.

Computer Age Gains Respect of Economists
By By STEVE LOHR
Published: April 14, 1999
In a nation of technophiles, where Internet millionaires are minted daily, it seems heresy to question the economic payoff from information technology -- the billions upon billions spent each year by companies and households on everything from computers to software to cell phones.
But for more than a decade, most of the nation's leading economists have been heretics.
''You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics,'' Robert M. Solow, a Nobel Prize winner from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, once said.
For years, even as the computer revolutionized the workplace, ''measured productivity'' -- the output of goods and services per worker -- stagnated, barely advancing 1 percent a year. So it is easy to see how Mr. Solow's pithy comment became the favorite punch line of the economic naysayers.
Yet today, even renowned skeptics on the subject of technology's contribution to the economy, like Mr. Solow, are having second thoughts. Productivity growth has picked up, starting in 1996, capped by a surge in the second half of last year, after eight years of economic expansion. That has drawn attention because past upward swings in productivity typically occurred early in a recovery as economic activity rebounded. Once companies increased hiring, it slowed again.
But something seems fundamentally different this time. It apparently relates to the increased speed and efficiency that information technology advances -- including the Internet -- is finally bringing to the mundane day-to-day tasks of millions of businesses.
The question, posed by economists, is whether the higher productivity growth averaging about 2 percent in the last three years, roughly double the pace from 1973 to 1995, is the long-awaited confirmation that the nation's steadily rising investment in computers and communications is finally paying off. The evidence is starting to point in that direction.
''My beliefs are shifting on this subject,'' Mr. Solow said. ''I am still far from certain. But the story always was that it took a long time for people to use information technology and truly become more efficient. That story sounds a lot more convincing today than it did a year or two ago.''
Another pillar in the pessimist camp was Daniel E. Sichel, an economist at the Federal Reserve. His work, along with another Fed economist, Stephen D. Oliner, in 1994, and on his own in 1997, found that computers contributed little to economic growth. But recently, Mr. Sichel ran similar calculations for the last few years and came to a different conclusion.
In a paper that has just been published in the quarterly Business Economics, he wrote that his new work points to ''a striking step up in the contribution of computers to output growth.'' And the nation's improved productivity performance, he noted, is ''raising the possibility that businesses are finally reaping the benefits of information technology.''
Wanted: New Way To Measure Economy
The impact of information technology on the economy is more than an academic debate. If, as some experts assert, the technology dividend is a key reason for the nation's extraordinary run of high growth, rising wages and low inflation, there are significant policy implications. If the recent gains are not just a temporary blip, it suggests that the Federal Reserve can be less fearful of inflation and keep interest rates stable rather than be forced to raise them to cool off what would otherwise be considered an overheated economy. The Fed chairman, Alan Greenspan, and the other Fed governors are scheduled to hear presentations on information technology's effect on the economy from several academics during a private meeting in Washington tomorrow.
Mr. Greenspan, for one, seems to believe a fundamental change is under way in the economy. He told Congress in January that the economy is enjoying ''higher, technology-driven productivity growth.''
The Fed governors will hear a forceful case for technological optimism from Erik Brynjolfsson, an associate professor at the M.I.T. Sloan School of Management.
Mr. Brynjolfsson asserts that the economic value of speed, quality improvements, customer service and new products are often not captured by Government statistics. ''These are the competitive advantages of information technology,'' he said. ''We need a broader definition of output in this new economy, which goes beyond the industrial-era concept of widgets coming off the assembly line.''
The Government, after years of defending its figures, conceded two weeks ago that productivity growth may be understated. The core of the problem, Government economists say, is the increasingly complex challenge of defining and measuring output in much of the economy's fast-growing service sector, which includes the vast reaches of banking, finance, health care and education.
According to the official statistics, for instance, a bank today is no more productive than a bank was two decades ago. Yet that seems to take scant account of, say, 24-hour automated teller machines, which clearly benefit customers who no longer have to wait in lines to be served by human tellers during regular ''bankers' hours.''

Multiple Remedies
After years of buying the expensive lotions and skin care programs on the market, I've found out that going old-fashioned and all-natural is the best way. This stuff has been repeated so many times that I think people get desensitized to it. Some of these companies are sympathetic, some want to separate you from your money, but most are a little bit of both. Forget them and go old school. Here's what I've found:
1. You need to stay regular. Drink lots of water and take fiber on a daily basis. When you eat too much food or any junk food, your digestive system gets upset and tries to throw off the toxins building up.
2. I trade off between molasses and ACV daily and it's been going well for me. Put a teaspoon of molasses in warm water and wash it down- it's got a mild carmel taste to it and is loaded with minerals and nutrients that fight acne. I swear by the ACV though- I mix a cap full or two in a small glass of water and it wakes me up mentally and physically. If I put it on a cotton ball it gets absorbed too much into my skin and causes a rash on my face (a common thing for people), so instead I pour a little in my hands and rub it in that way. Works like a charm. For soap I use castile (Dr. Bronner's is a good choice) because it's mild enough to use as for brushing my teeth. Anything with that sodium laurel sulfate crap in it has got to go. It's found in most of your shampoos. That stuff strips your skin of its moisturizing elements and leaves you unprotected- get rid of it.
3. Forget the fancy face masks you buy for ten bucks and only last you a month. Milk of magnesia works just as well if not better. Every other day is a good tempo because too many applications can dry your skin out. Depending on your skin type, you'll have to adjust it. Apply it to your face for 15-20 minutes at night and then wash it off.
4. Be patient and stop picking at the pimples. Think of a small cut you get on your hand, and how quickly it heals because you're not thinking about it and leaving it alone. Tearing at what is essentially a wound on your face is only going to make it heal slower, so you only make it worse. Your mom was right- stop picking.
5. And of course, the obvious: get a good sweat-induce workout on a regular basis. It gets the blood flowing and improves your complexion. Start taking a multi-vitamin, and for you bodybuilders stop using the creatine. Creatine is a safe product but it raises your hormone levels and contributes to breakouts. Arginine (aka NO2) not only makes you stronger, it improves blood flow to your skin.
All this stuff is dirt cheap and more effective than those top-of-the-line vanity products. Realistically, nothing's going to give you perfect skin. But you can at least fight it off at a reasonable price by sticking to these basics.

Citi Buys New Office Space in Mumbai
By Nupur Acharya of Dow Jones Newswires
Mumbai – Citigroup Inc. said Wednesday it has signed an agreement to acquire 297,000 square feet of office space in suburban Mumbai's marquee business district to house its key businesses in India that are currently spread across several cities.
Citi would cover six floors of the First International Finance Centre in the Bandra Kurla Complex, and it will be the global bank's second major property in the area, after Citigroup Centre situated in the vicinity, a spokesman for the bank's India unit said in a statement.
The spokesman didn't specify the price it paid for the space but a person familiar with the matter pegged it at 9.85 billion rupees (about $187.23 million), making it one of the biggest commercial property deals in Mumbai.
The deal has been signed by Citibank NA and Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt. Ltd., the investment banking and institutional businesses arm of the bank.

I occasionally use multiple images stacked to balance exposures in HDR. Not particularly either a "Nikon or Leica" thing (I shoot on both), but it is a well used process in landscape and architectural work.
That said, I have a pet hate – over processed and overblown. So I processed an image taken a while back on the Nikon D800, at Kinderdijk, in the Netherlands. 5 images in fact, bracketed. I have tried to be fair on the images, by correcting some obvious colour and contrast issues, but I wanted to see how the original, a "balanced HDR" and a "painterly HDR" look when compared. Photomatix Pro 5 was used, as it allows rather more fine tuning than the native HDR processing in Lightroom or Photoshop.
First, the best of the bracketed exposures, single shot, processed lightly for contrast and shadows in Lightroom. I think it looses something in the shadows, and lacks definition in the clouds.
Second, what I consider to be a fairly "balanced" HDR, limiting the contrast and colours. I used the "default" setting in Photomatix, and then finished in Lightroom. I like the way it pulls up the shadows without overdoing the clouds, though maybe a bit "artificial" in terms of the direction of the light. HDR tends to punch the shadows heavily. I left the colour pretty much as the original.
I then took down the rather exaggerated shadows in highlights in the HDR, in Lightroom. Seems more natural?
And thank you, Anu Garg for suggesting this.
Finally, using Photomatix' "Painterly" mode. I actually found the result so overblown that this is dialled back a bit in Lightroom. I have to admit we see a lot of images using this setting published around the web. It's way too much for my taste. Shadows are meant to be shadows 🙂
I believe HDR is a totally valid approach, but should be used with a lot of moderation.
To me, image 3 wins.
But what do you think?

County likely to donate to 2015 cycling event
Henrico County officials are proposing that the county contribute direct and indirect funding and support totaling no more than $1.4 million to Richmond 2015, the organization that will host the nine-day UCI World Road Cycling Championships in the Greater Richmond region in three years.
That's the same amount requested of the county by Richmond 2015 officials in September, although they sought the total amount in cash donations spread evenly over the next three years.
Instead, County Manager Virgil Hazelett has proposed a $300,000 cash donation in 2015 only and the application of other associated costs, such as security, traffic control and overtime police pay, toward the $1.4 million total. Henrico's share of contributions made to Richmond 2015 by the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau and Greater Richmond Convention Center also would be included in that amount.
Only one event – a time trial for men and women on the first day – is proposed to occur in Henrico. Organizers originally wanted to begin the 17-mile event at Short Pump Town Center and conclude it in Richmond, but Henrico officials determined that such a route would require that 62 intersections be closed for more than 10 hours.
That inconvenience – and the associated cost of overtime pay for police officers along the route – wouldn't make sense for the county, Hazelett said. So, county officials are working with Richmond 2015 to identify another route that is a better fit, he said.
Henrico Director of Management and Budget Brandon Hinton told the Board of Supervisors during a work session Oct. 23 that the county could not justify a cash contribution of $1.4 million when its anticipated direct tax benefit would be just $1.063 million, according to an estimate provided by Richmond 2015.
And, Hinton and Hazelett told the board, that estimate is aggressive because it includes anticipated hotel tax revenue that county officials believe is impossible to achieve.
"Clearly, the event will have a positive impact on the Richmond region," Hinton said. "[But] we don't want to pay out more than we think we're going to get in return."
The nine-day event will feature cyclists from more than 70 countries and an anticipated crowd of about 450,000.

Stealing food from whales
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 03, 2013
WHEN did humans decide consuming whale food was a good idea?
That it was some sort of multi-vitamin cure-all that will reduce everything from blood pressure to cholesterol; help alleviate PMS or add muscle strength; improve cognitive function and brain health.
Is there anything krill oil supplements can't do?
Fish oil supplements have been trendy for quite a while now because of the belief omega-3 fatty acids were beneficial particularly in lowering blood pressure – thus benefiting the heart. This despite the fact a recent extensive study found they actually may have no more benefit than a placebo in preventing death or serious cardiovascular disease.
And according to British scientist and nutrition expert Tom Sanders, from Kings College in London, the benefits of fish-oil supplements are over-rated.
"Rather than a passport to good health, fish-oil pills are more like snake oil," he wrote. "I've been researching the health benefits of fish and fish-oil supplements, which contain long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, for more than 30 years.
"What I have found is that, although fish-oil supplements have a role to play for some people, they have been over-hyped and over-sold."
Now krill oil is growing in popularity, reportedly because it has similar benefits to fish oil but is even more effective.
But is it really, and is fishing the Southern Ocean for tonnes of krill per year for use in supplements – as well as for fishmeal – more destructive than the positives provide?
Now, with a growing market for krill supplements, what is the future for this tiny crustacean which remains the main diet for whales, penguins, seals, squid and other fish?
In 2010, for the first time, part of the Antarctic krill fishery had to be closed because the catch limit was reached. Quotas continue to grow yet scientific studies to determine what effects, if any, fishing is having on the population have not been undertaken and there remains uncertainly as to the future of krill numbers.
Humans really don't have a good track record in showing restraint, particularly when it comes to hunting. Massive over-fishing is having detrimental effects in many parts of the world and has done for decades. When profit is the over-riding factor, the chances of greed and vested interests muddying the waters grow.
Currently the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society – a group of environmentalists from across the world – are traversing waters in the Antarctic in an attempt to stop Japanese whalers from harpooning more than 1000 whales during their annual hunt.
While the Japanese say they are only hunting their quota for scientific reasons, the most dubious of claims, there is little doubt the whale meat is used for human consumption. But do the Japanese need whale meat in order to survive? Likewise, do any of us really need fish or krill oil to survive?
It's a noble mission by the Sea Shepherd's crew. Anyone who has seen how the whales are slaughtered, the length of time it takes for them to die and undoubtedly the suffering that goes with it, would find it hard to disagree.
And all the while the same Antarctic waters which have become a battleground in defence of the whales are being harvested for krill – the staple diet of the very animal in the firing line.
But for how long? What if our estimates of quotas end up being wrong? How can we really know what impact we are having on krill numbers when there is no scientific data available?
It just doesn't seem to make sense. Protecting the whales is one thing, but when are we going to start protecting their food source?

A couple days before the closing they called and wanted another $6,000 to close the deal. Again we were told the money would be reimbursed to us by the buyer. We did not pay the $6,000 but instead cancelled our deal according to the Customer Satisfaction guarantee we had in writing.
We filled out the refund paperwork and submitted to them. Now their home page is no longer accessible on the computer and the telephone is no longer accepting phone calls or messages. Don't be fooled by their promises. They are a Scam.

Window in Hawa Mahal
I decided to take the bus from Jaipur to Dehli as they are frequent and you don?t have to book a ticket in advance. In the morning I took an auto rickshaw from Hotel Pearl Palace to the bus stand as it looked like the rain was going to pour down any minute. The rickshaw was Rs 40 (August 2010).
At the bus stand I was directed to a ticket counter, but as the bus to Dehli just started to move the man behind the counter said go, go and I then bought the ticket on the bus. The ticket to Dehli was Rs 175 and the ride took around 5- 6 hours. It was one of those big regular buses with two seats on one side and three seats on the other side. My backpack could not fit in the narrow shelf above so I had it by my feet. Only for a short while the bus was full, otherwise it was plenty of space the rest of the trip. All the open windows can be a nuisance if it gets too windy and dusty. I had to ask the man in front of me to close his window and so he did and then it was okay. Halfway we stopped for people to eat or buy snacks. Beside the bus there was a row of smelly urinals so waiting near the bus was not an option.
In Delhi the bus stopped along a main road in the south part of Dehli. The auto rickshaw drivers told me they could take me to Paharganj for Rs 250. Well, a few weeks earlier I had taken a taxi from the airport, which was further south, to Paharganj for Rs 225. When I told the drivers about this they changed their price to Rs 200 and then Rs 150. I saw a small traffic police booth 20 metres away and walked over to it even if it looked closed. It turned out there were two men inside eating. They told me to wait a few minutes and then I could pay for a prepaid auto rickshaw as this was one of the prepaid taxi booths. To take an auto rickshaw to Paharganj was Rs 95 (Rs 80 + Rs 10 for baggage + Rs 5 for service).
Mode: TO
Type: Bus
The City Palace in Jaipur
There are trains between Agra and Jaipur and I went to Agra Fort station to ask for the schedule. The train was leaving too early, around 6am. So instead I asked the man at my hotel which bus stand I should go to for the buses to Jaipur. He told me to go to the new bus terminal outside town as the luxury buses leaves from there. In the morning another man at the reception told me to go to Idgah Bus Stand instead. I thought that was the best too as it was closer and there would always be a regular bus from there. From Taj Ganj (East Gate) I paid Rs 50 (August 2010) for an auto rickshaw to Idgah Bus Stand.
When I arrived at Idgah Bus Stand it was 7.15am. The man in the first counter I went to sold tickets for the 7.30 bus, a luxury bus. The problem, for me, was that it was leaving from the new bus terminal more than 5km away. He said I could take a taxi there , but that was not a good option for me. I asked for the regular bus and it turned out it was leaving at 7.20, just in a few minutes. Of course I chose that one. It was Rs 159 and took less than 6 hours. Half along the way we stopped and some people ate at a food stall. I only walked around.
In Jaipur the bus stopped at the Main Bus Stand. From there it was not too far (about 1 km) to walk to my hotel, the Hotel Pearl Palace.
The next day I met a man who had been staying in the same hotel as me in Agra. He had gone to Jaipur on the same day as me, but he took the train and left earlier than me and arrived later than me. I?m glad I took the regular bus.
Mode: TO
Type: Bus
Bazaar street in Old Town
I had read in my guidebook that buses for Amber leaves from a bus stop near Hawa Mahal. I confirmed this at the hotel and then went out to take an auto rickshaw. The auto rickshaw driver agreed to take me there for Rs 50 (August 2010). He did not go all the way to Hawa Mahal, but stopped at MI Road, near New Gate and said it was better to take the bus from there. I was afraid I would not know which bus to stop but the driver said he would stay to stop the right bus. After one minute the bus arrived and the signs were of course only in Hindu. I got a seat and paid Rs 7 to Amber. We passed Hawa Mahal and about half an hour later we were in Amber. In Amber the bus stopped just by the palace.
Going back to Jaipur I asked in the bus if it was going to MI Road (which was not so far away from my hotel as Hawa Mahal was). I went off the bus when it left MI Road after passing the Ram Niwas Public Gardens, just before Ajmer Gate.

Obama defends himself from array of GOP criticism
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama defended himself against an array of Republican criticism in an interview during Fox's Super Bowl pregame show.
The president traded barbs with interviewer Bill O'Reilly in a live broadcast that covered his troubled health-care law rollout, the 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya and revelations that the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny. "I try to focus not on the fumbles but on the next plan," Obama said.
Obama would not say why he didn't fire Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius after the failed launch of the online marketplace. He argued the website is now working.
"We've got 3 million people signed up so far. We're about a month behind where we anticipated we wanted to be," Obama said.

Kanpai's Japanese fusion small plates worth a cheer
I think of a Japanese izakaya as a casual place, a tavern with some snacky food to supplement drinks. That's not quite how I'd describe the stylish Kanpai, which means "cheers" in Japanese.
The Third Ward restaurant, which opened in the former Nanakusa space, made some changes to the room's décor, but it's still polished and modern. And so are the fusion small plates, meant to be shared. That's the izakaya side of it. But Kanpai also has a full sushi menu, with a dizzying number of rolls (50, by my quick count). »Read Full Article(1)
Comedian Ron White coming to Riverside
"Blue Collar Comedy" star Ron White is returning to the Riverside Theater April 12.
Last time White was in town was February 2012, when he performed stand-up at a sold-out Riverside. That's a typical accomplishment for White: he's sold more than 10 million CDs and DVDs and has been one of the top three grossing touring comedians in the U.S. over the past five years. »Read Full Article

Tonis_T replied to Tonis_T's topic in Ford Focus ClubIn case anyone is interested. Railings are not straight swap. Mk 2,5 railings have 2 bolts on both ends to mount them to the roof. MK2 roof has 2 pre drilled holes of which only one hole is usable (rear one). So I had to drill 3 holes to each side to mount the railings. However, when you do that they will fit pretty nicely. The rear most nut for the railing is pita to install and tighten. All other bolts have hole underneath so you can use socket but for the rear most one is only doable with key spanner and very little room to turn the spanner. You also have to shorten the said bolt or it will contact the body. However as with everything, it is doable and result is ok.
sonic113 liked a post in a topic: Winter Ford Magic!!!!!
Tonis_T started following Winter Ford Magic!!!!!
Tonis_T replied to sonic113's topic in Ford Focus ClubMy Focus today :) Like: heated front window, heated rear window and mirrors, heated seats, ESP is quite handy. Rear drive car would be much more fun in winter but focus is surprisingly fun to drive (thanks to mechanical rear handbrake, not that stupid electronical stuff that more modern cars have). Do not like: gets warm quite slowly (i do have quite short commute about 6 km). However I think it is the same for all cars. If it is -25C outside all cars will warm up slowly. I am considering accessory electrical motor block heater and battery charger. Something by defa for example Of course if it is warm outside -5...0, then it heats up pretty fast. However we are talking about winter here so I'd like much faster heating. However when doing longer trips, then the amount of heat it produces is very good even when it's cold! I like this car a lot... there are few thing i do not understand... like why would you put electrical windows in front and not in the back. When driving in summer and you want to open a window to vent a little bit, then opening the rear window is much quieter than the front one. I can reach front window easily to us the manual crank. However this is all minor stuff. Overall I like my focus and it is pretty OK winter car
Tonis_T started following Ford Focus Mk 2,5 Roof Railings To Mk2
Tonis_T posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHello, I own 2006 1,6VTI 85KW Focus estate. I want to install roof railings (the ones that go along the roof not across) I have sourced a pair of railings from scrap yard that belong to MK2.5 Focus. Do any of you know if they are straight fit to pre face lift model? The reason I ask is that Ford dealer said that pre facelift and face lift models have different part numbers for railings. However the body of the car is practically the same. I will probably go ahead anyhow and get them and do the test fitting. But I would appreciate any information before I pull the trigger.
Tonis_T posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHello, Since gasoline is getting more and more expensive I'm thinking of LPG conversion. However I have heard that there might be some problems with valve seats after some time of use. I have also heard that this problem is non existant if you will install some kind of flashlube and use it rght from the beginning. I'm talking about IV generation device. Car I'm thinkig of converting is mk2 Ford Focus 1.6L Duratec-16V Ti-VCT (115/120PS) estate. Do any of you guys have any experience about this?
Thank you.
Anyone? I have the same problem with my 2006 wagon. Also would like to know how if A-pillar covers will just come off with pulling (fully and not just hanging them there dashboard side still attached).
Tonis_T replied to Jo Allan's topic in Ford Focus ClubDon't mess with your brakes unless you know what you are doing. http://www.stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers http://www.stoptech....-brake-upgrades
Tonis_T replied to Pidu's topic in Ford Focus GuidesI live in Estonia and for some reason most of focuses that we have here don't have cc so I didn't get it from here. Hovewer in finland they have website where you can check out junkyeards all over the country. So I just kept my eyes open for low mileage wheel with cc buttons and booked it. I have meny coworkers in finland, they went purchaced it and when they had some things to do in Estonia they brought it over to me (guys from the company were willing to post it to Estonia but since it was more convinient for them to use someone local who would act as middle we went that way. They did hovewer booked it under my name). So not as easy process as I would have hoped for but it got the things done. You might want to check out few websites and talk to junkyard owners it they are willing to send items abroad. There are 2 major sites I kept checking out: the finnish one: http://www.autopurkaamot.com/ and swedish one (much more stuff): http://en.bildelsbasen.se/ go and check them out. Maybe you will get lucky and they are willing to send stuff in your way. P.S. I forgot to say that the Swedish mileage is then number that is on the site x10 and it is in km (some kind of wierd swedish habbit). So for example this wheel: http://en.bildelsbas...ost_id=21588833 mileage is 5285 miles on the web page. This actually means that the odometer is showing 52850 kilometers. The great thing in scandinavia is that if insurance says that car is to damaged after accident then you have to dismantle it. This means pretty nice supply of used parts. P.P.S They use google translator to translate the pages in http://www.autopurkaamot.com/ and it wont translate correctly. Anyhow after selecting your ford model then on partlist "ohjauspyörä" means steeringwheel.
Tonis_T replied to Pidu's topic in Ford Focus GuidesJust an update: I went to Ford dealrship and they activated cruise control. Everything works except dashboard cc symbol wont lit up when cc is activated. I know that the symbol is there and it will lit up when I dio the all leds working test with computer reset button. It's an minor thing and otherwise cc works like it's ment to work. Considering that aftermarket cc would have been about 400-500€, new wheel from dealerhip was quoted for 700€ and now i got used wheel for 85€ (I had 4 spoke wheel so didn't need new airbag) and activation for 23€ I have no complaints.
Tonis_T replied to tdci ross's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubI have a focus but I think the idea should be the same. You have to have the lights switched on to enable headlight washers. If the switch is on "off" position washers won't work.
Tonis_T replied to Pidu's topic in Ford Focus GuidesIf any of you guys are wondering: I got mk 2,5 steering wheel and fitted it to mk2 car. It is direct swap (Just like Lenny suspected even tho part numbers are different). Back window heater button trick confirmed that cruise buttons are working fine. Now I have to enable cruise in Ford dealership. Do you know if steering wheel cruise buttons are lit or not?
Tonis_T replied to Pidu's topic in Ford Focus GuidesHi. Do you have any idea if mk2 and mk2,5 steering wheels are interchangeable? I asked my ford dealership. They agree to reprogram the car but say that according to their info mk2 and mk2,5 have different steering wheel part number. As far as I can see there is no difference. Do you guys have any clue?
