One of the many reasons I love my wife ... she is a fantastic cook!
Yesterday, she made me my two of my favorite snacks – and a delicious lunch.
I thought it would only be fair if I shared the recipes with you. They all take no more than five minutes of prep time, and with the exception of the baked apple, require little to no cooking time.
Plus: Each snack is under 150 calories. (The tuna melts, designed to be a single serving for lunch, only have 343 calories.) And all are loaded with protein and fiber, which helps you feel fuller longer. I hope you enjoy!

Debi Mazar & Gabriele Corcos, Stars of Extra Virgin, Fuse Tofu & Berries for Summertime Treat
Originally posted 05/25/2013 07:00PM
On their Cooking Channel show Extra Virgin, it's plain to see that Debi Mazar and her husband Gabriele Corcos are as enamored with food as they are with each other.
"Our love affair started at a dinner table in Florence and has evolved being in the kitchen together," Corcos tells PEOPLE. "It's there that we prepare our daily family meals, develop new recipes, or just experiment with food."
Though their romance started at the table, Mazar, who stars in the upcoming Lovelace alongside Amanda Seyfried, James Franco and Bobby Cannavale, says that while her diet is inspired by the flavors of Tuscany, it's evolved.

The current trend in cardiac rehabilitation is toward the empirical and systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of general and specific components. Clearly, resumption of sexual activity is important to the rehabilitation of patients and their partners. In fact, resumption of sexual behavior may be therapeutic in solidfying the marital relationship during stressful readjustment periods. A satisfying sexual relationship can be valuable as a step towards fostering self-confidence and a feeling of returning health. The cardiac rehabilitation program should strive for a multidisciplinary team approach and to initiate intervention and counseling as early as medically possible during the hospitalization. Counseling programs should always include the exploration of the possible concerns of patients and their partners about resumption of sexual activity. Patients should be advised as to the realities of their fears and provided with guidelines for facilitating a satisfying sexual relationship.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began an official visit to China Monday despite tensions back home following the alleged Israeli airstrikes on Syrian weapons storage facilities.
Israeli commentators said it was important for Netanyahu to maintain his plans to signal that Israel is continuing its business as usual.
Netanyahu did delay his departure slightly Sunday afternoon to attend a security cabinet meeting on the latest developments.
Syrian government officials told the New York Times dozens of elite troops were killed in the airstrikes. Opposition forces confirmed "the strikes hit bases of the Republican Guard and storehouses of long-range missiles in addition to a military research center that American officials have called the country's main chemical weapons factory."
Despite the tenuous situation on the northern border, Netanyahu did not cancel the trip to China, where he hopes to advance economic cooperation between the two countries and present Israel's perspective on Iran.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon will serve as acting prime minister during his absence.
After landing in Shanghai Monday morning, Netanyahu, his wife, Sarah, and sons Yair and Avner headed for a hi-tech park on the first leg of the five-day visit.
At the park, Netanyahu and his family saw some of the latest innovations in alternative energy, urban development, the environment, aviation and space exploration, computer networking, and medicine by international companies doing business in China.
"We see here the logos of many of the world's leading companies," Netanyahu said as he viewed the list of companies in the park. "I hope that we will soon see on this wall the logos of many Israeli companies. This is the goal -- to expand bilateral economic cooperation and significantly increase Israeli exports to China."
"China and Israel have much to gain from enhanced cooperation and that's our goal," Mark Regev, the prime minister's spokesman, told AFP earlier.
In Shanghai, Netanyahu will meet with business leaders and sign several international trade agreements before departing for Beijing later in the week, where he'll meet with President Xi Jinping, Prime Minister Li Keqiang and other senior government officials.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will be in China during part of Netanyahu's visit, where he reportedly plans to present his perspective on the stalemated peace talks.

(Updated at 3:25 p.m.) Ben's Chili Bowl opened its second Arlington location at Reagan National Airport this morning with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
In the pre-security section of B/C terminal of the airport, a crowd gathered to hear the Chuck Brown Band, listen to speakers and watch the Ali family, which owns Ben's, cut the ribbon on the new restaurant. The Ben's Chili Bowl location in Rosslyn opened in March as the first standalone, brick-and-mortar Ben's to open since the original in 1958.
"We have a lot of visitors to our original U Street location that come from all over the country, so now people who don't have time can stop here on their way in or out of the city," Virginia Ali, the widow of Ben's founder Ben Ali, said. "It's a very attractive location."
Ben's historian and former Marion Barry aid Bernard Demczuk was the MC of the opening, and handed out pamphlets detailing a history of Ben's as well as instructions on how to "properly eat a Ben's Chili Bowl Classic chili dog." He spoke about the late "Godfather of Go-Go" Chuck Brown — who was a famous Ben's customer along with Bill Cosby and President Barack Obama — before introducing the band.
He also remarked on Reagan's number of annual visitors; according to the airport, more than 20 million passengers flew in and out of the airport last year.
"That's pretty good traffic for Ben's Chili Bowl," Demczuk said.
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Board Member Warner Session spoke briefly after the band played its first set of songs. He said that MWAA is elated to have a Ben's airport location.
"I live in the neighborhood and as you can see I've probably eaten one chili dog too many," Session joked.
Kamal Ali was the last to speak before he and his family cut the ceremonial ribbon. Ali thanked the airport and the ceremony's event planners, and also mentioned his late father.
"I know dad is looking down on us," he said.
The band continued to play while Ben's employees served their first customers, and those waiting in line to get their half-smokes and fries danced and clapped along. The band also promoted its new single and album "Beautiful Life," which was released today.
Inside Ben's, two flat-screen monitors played a slideshow of the Ali's family pictures, pictures from other Ben's locations and footage of the U street location's appearance on the Travel Channel show "Man Versus Food."
"They are going to do very well here, trust me," one woman waiting in line said. "There's going to be a line forever."
DCA Runway to Move — The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority has hired a contractor to fill in part of the Potomac River and move a runway at Reagan National Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration requires the improvements because the runway does not meet FAA safety standards. The project is scheduled to begin next week and continue through 2015. [Washington Business Journal]
Arlington Man Finishes Run for Boston Victims — Arlington resident Frank Fumich completed his run from the Pentagon to the Boston Marathon finish line on Saturday. Fumich and a running partner from Florida raised more than $78,000 for the Boston bombing victims during the four day, 450 mile journey. During the final 19 miles, they were joined by a woman who was unable to finish the race when the bombs exploded. She gave her Boston Marathon medal to Fumich. [Washington Post]
Orange Line has Most Metrorail Weekend Work — In a tally of the areas most affected by Metrorail weekend track work from May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, the Orange Line section from East Falls Church to West Falls Church ranks as number one. That portion registered 23 weekends of work. It has been closed 10 times and single tracked 13 times in the one year period due to work linking the Silver Line to the rest of the system. [Greater Greater Washington]
Flight Makes Emergency Landing at DCA — A US Airways Express flight had to make an emergency landing at Reagan National Airport this morning (Wednesday) due to a cracked windshield. The plane was minutes into its flight from DCA to Raleigh/Durham International Airport when it had to turn around. Nobody was injured. [WJLA]
Plastic Bag Tax Defeated — Sen. Adam Ebbin's proposal to tax single-use plastic bags in grocery and convenience stores has been defeated in the state Senate. Had the bill passed, it would have imposed a five cent tax on every plastic bag distributed by retail establishments. [Sun Gazette]
Potomac CrossFit to Re-open in Courthouse — After closing last year to make way for a new development in Clarendon, Potomac Crossfit has found a new home. The new 9,000 square foot location will be located at 1320 N. Courthouse Road, Suite 100. It is expected to open in May. [Potomac CrossFit]
(Updated at 11:10 a.m.) The Arlington County Fire Department has cleared the scene at Reagan National Airport, where it had been assisting Airport Police with a suspicious package.
The bomb squad took x-rays of the package to determine its contents, but nothing dangerous was found.
The package turned up near the economy parking lot, and that lot closed down during the investigation. Most other airport roads and lots remained open, and no flights or terminal operations were affected. There were also no reported traffic backups due to the lot closure.
A Continental flight departing Reagan National Airport made an emergency landing at Dulles after the pilot reported hitting birds on takeoff this morning.
According to a recording of air traffic control radio, the pilot of the 737 reported a left engine failure as a result of the bird strike. The plane landed safely at Dulles just before 8:00 a.m.
The bird strike caused a bit of a scare on the ground. D.C. Fire and EMS crews near the Potomac River were put on alert after reports came in of an aircraft in distress. The situation recalled the 2009 "Miracle on the Hudson" — when pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger landed a US Airways jet on the Hudson River after both engines were disabled by a flock of birds.
Bird strikes are actually not uncommon at Reagan National.
Despite the use of systems designed to scare birds away from the runways and alert air traffic controllers to their presence, a total of 24 bird-related incidents were reported at Reagan National last year, according to an FAA database. Of those incidents, 21 were reported as birds striking an aircraft and 3 were birds simply found injured on or near runways. Five incidents involved large birds, which are more likely to cause damage to an aircraft fuselage or engine.
Among the incidents:
- On May 1, 2010, a US Airways 737 ingested a large vulture into its #1 engine on approach. No damage was reported and the plane landed safely.
- On July 28, a United Airlines Airbus 319 struck a large bird on takeoff. The flight continued on to Chicago, where bird remains were then cleaned off the plane's nose. No damage was reported.
- On August 8, a regional jet struck a large osprey on takeoff. Minor damage to the landing gear door was reported, but the plane continued on to Albany, N.Y.
- On October 7, an injured bald eagle was found near a runway. Crews retrieved the bird and brought it to an animal hospital. No bird strike was reported.
No more flights will be leaving from or arriving at Reagan National airport tonight, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority. All airlines have canceled flights for Saturday. MWAA says that crews will still be working to keep the runways clear tomorrow, so that flights could possibly resume on Sunday.

Where is the cheapest place to get a Choate Ultimate Varmint stock for a Savage 110?

There was a guy on www.gunbroker.com that had Choate stocks pretty cheap. I got my SKS Drag stock from him.
March 9, 2004, 08:09 PM
You can order them direct from Choate - see here (http://www.choatemachinetool.com/catalog_page.cfm?queries_index=index6&title_bar=Secure%20Shopping%20Search%20Results&NewProduct=0) - for $95.15 in black, or $109.20 in camo finish. Unfortunately, not many online suppliers carry them - wholesalers do, but you'll have to buy those through dealers.
March 9, 2004, 08:16 PM
I bought mine direct from the Choate company about 4 years ago. Not sure about the web addy - shouldn't be hard to find. IIRC, I paid about $150.
Actually, mine is the Ultimate Sniper stock, but it doesn't look much different from the varmint model. It's a solid, great looking stock and shoots very comfortably. Well worth the money. The only downside for some people is the weight - it's about 3 times heavier than my original Savage synthetic. It's not an issue for me, since I just target shoot with it, but I wouldn't want to hump it too far hunting in the woods.
A while back, I came across an online review of this stock - I believe on one of the "sniper" sites. The reviewer bashed just about everything about it, but of course, he expected everyone to afford a thousand-something dollar McMillan. It's a great product for 99.9% of the shooting public.
March 9, 2004, 08:34 PM
When I went searcing for the Choate UV for my Mod70 Stealth, the lowest I could find was Strider Industries (http://striderindustries.com/stocks.htm). I had tried a few times to get a hold of them to order one but was never able to as I didn't want to use my work phone to do it. I called a couple of times before 5:00 EST, their closing time - I get off at 4:30, but always got an answering machine.
Finally got fed up with that and went directly to Choate to get one. Cost was an additional $16 but I can eat that. I knew for sure I would get the stock by ordering from the source. I had never tried Strider before and wasn't comfortable with what sounded like a home business.
March 9, 2004, 09:10 PM
I bought mine direct from the Choate company about 4 years ago. Not sure about the web addy - shouldn't be hard to find. It's http://www.riflestock.com
March 10, 2004, 04:13 PM
Yeah, Choate is the only place I can find on the web.
I was wanting the Ultimate Varmint model, the price is not too bad for what you get, just being cheap, trying to find one for low-ball price.
Thanks all,
March 10, 2004, 05:39 PM
Has the Ultimate Varmint for the same retail price as shown on the Choate site.
Brownell's discounts the price if you've sent them your FFL - C&R works as well as an 01. You'll recover more than the cost of the C&R just by buying the stock you want.
March 11, 2004, 12:38 AM
What kind of quality are Choate stocks? I've thought about getting one of their "Conventional" stocks for an SKS.
I've thought they were along the lines of Ramline, but I could be wrong. I've never had one. (I picked up an Interarms Mark X and it came in a Ramline stock. That is the cheapest looking stock I think I have ever seen. It will be replaced.)

March 11, 2004, 01:38 AM
Steve, I used to sell Choates at the gun shows. I'd sell three or four at each show. At one time I offered to install them for free if I could keep the factory stocks. Never had a problem with any of them. Both of my Chinese SKS's wear Choate Conventional stocks. I love them. And I'm hard to please!
March 11, 2004, 03:16 AM
Thanks for the info! I'll give it a try.

The Big Ivy portion of Pisgah National Forest in in the Craggy Mountains, a sub-ridge of the Black Mountains – the highest mountain range east of the Mississippi River. Big Ivy has 13,968 acres of Forest Service Land – just 1.3% of the National Forest in Western North Carolina. Yet this 1% of public land contains the third highest density of rare species on the Nantahala-Pisgah, over 3,000 acres of old-growth forest, and is just a short drive from the city of Asheville.
Big Ivy is undeniably one of the special parts of Western North Carolina, a Blue Ridge Mountain classic with big trees, big mountains, and waterfalls. Big Ivy forms the headwaters of the Ivy River, an important tributary of the French Broad and the water source for the town of Weaverville. Big Ivy has diverse and rare wildlife habitat for common and uncommon species, and is a favorite area for local hunters, anglers, hikers, equestrians, mountain bikers, climbers, and naturalists. Unlike much of our National Forests that suffer from clearcutting and the abuses of the past, Big Ivy has some of the healthiest forest on the Pisgah and has been identified by The Nature Conservancy as one of the most important Core Forests in Southern Blue Ridge.
The public land of Big Ivy is a legacy passed down from our fore-fathers and one that we want to pass on to our children's children.

I never was one who kept his blog up to date. I tried to rectify this a few times in the past, but my attempts usually just fizzled out after a few days. I'm on PixlBit now, and am going to attempt it again, but it will probably be more of the same.
I'm upset to see the passing of 1up into the internet ether. The reviews and features were almost always of interest to me, and I tried to read as many as I could. And now at the end of 1up's life cycle I can honestly say I wish I had blogged a bit more. I've spent the last eight years reading and writing on 1up, and it's shortly going to be lost. Horrible.
Here's hoping my time at PixlBit will be spent not only reading quite a few great articles, but also doing a little more blogging. If you follow me here and care what I have to say there, you can find me at screen name atrophycosine.
And who know, maybe I'll even post a few more blogs here as well...

Enterprise Rent-A-Car donates $2 million to MU
COLUMBIA, Mo. - On Tuesday, the owners of Enterprise Rent-A-Car donated $2 million to the University of Missouri.
The university has decided to use the money as an endowment for their sustainable energy programs.
More MU alumni work at Enterprise than any other university in the world. The company employs more than 600 graduates and three top executives are graduates.
It's these ties and the research that encouraged the company to donate the money.
Chancellor Brady Deaton said the money will go straight to benefiting research, education and programs that look into keeping the quality of the environment.
Vice president and executive director of Enterprise Holdings Foundation, Carolyn Kindle, had no reservations about the new partnership.
"I think it's a great fit. Obviously the larger our corporation gets and the more cars we put on the road any opportunity we have to look for sustainable energy sources we definitely want to be a part of that," Kindle said.
The sustainable energy program finds alternative energy sources that don't harm the world around us.
The work encompasses seven different aspects of the "Mizzou Advantage," which looks at the cultural and social consequences of energy use and production.
"We view our participation in this development campaign as an investment that will benefit not only the student and the university, but every person, institution and company like ours," said Kindle.
Deaton said he believes this donation shows Enterprise's confidence in the university's research.
Kindle hopes the $2 million gift will truly make a difference.

|Putting together the name of Gould and Bach on a label says everything there is to say about this box of music. Gould is one of a kind when it comes to playing Bach. On some CDs one can hear Gould singing while playing,some say it is distracting,I think that it add to the style of Gould.

Novick, who had proposed the resolution, said that it was meant as an adjustment to a previous resolution that said Borough Council did not intend to issue any future communications in multiple languages.
He cited snowstorms, hurricanes and water-main breaks as examples of emergencies in which police, Public Works personnel or others might need to communicate with residents.
But Mayor Erica Edwards said that this resolution is irrelevant because in a true emergency the department heads or the Office of Emergency Management coordinator will use their own common sense and "they'll do what they believe should be done."
The mayor said of the bilingual debate, "We're done with this and the public is done with this," and most of the council members agreed.

TV Ratings: Low Friday numbers for 'Fringe' finale, 'Flashpoint' premiere
'Blue Bloods' helps CBS win Friday overall, tie for the demo
Fast National ratings for Friday, May 6, 2011.
FOX's "Fringe" celebrated its third season finale by dropping (a miniscule amount) with young viewers and delivering yet another time period low in total viewers. CBS' "Flashpoint" celebrated its latest American premiere with unimpressive numbers. And yet both FOX and CBS were able to claim small shares of victory on a sluggish Friday.
Among adults 18-49, there was a three-way tie for the top spot with FOX, CBS and ABC all averaging a 1.4 rating in the key demographic. NBC was right behind with a 1.3 rating, while even The CW's 0.9 rating wasn't far off.
Overall, CBS averaged 8.77 million viewers and a 5.6 rating/10 share, claiming a commanding victory over the 4.87 million viewers for ABC and NBC's 4.83 million viewers. FOX's 2.2/4 and 3.48 million viewers finished fourth, with The CW's 1.3/2 and 2.04 million viewers good for fifth.
8 p.m. - "Flashpoint" returned to CBS' schedule with 6.89 million viewers, tops in the 8 p.m. hour, though the Canadian procedural's 1.1 rating among adults 18-49 was only good for third in the slot. ABC's "Shark Tank" was second overall with 4.48 million viewers and second in the demo with a 1.2 rating. FOX was third overall with the 3.655 million viewers for "Kitchen Nightmares," but first with a 1.6 demo rating. NBC's "Friday Night Lights" averaged 2.72 million viewers and a 0.8 demo rating for fourth. The CW's "Smallville" really isn't gaining momentum heading into its series finale, averaging 1.995 million viewers and a 0.8 demo rating in fifth.
9 p.m. - CBS stayed in first for the 9 p.m. hour with 9.31 million viewers and a 1.5 demo rating for "CSI: NY." NBC's "Dateline" was second with 5.195 million viewers and a 1.4 demo rating. Third went to ABC's "Primetime: What Would You Do?" with 4.04 million viewers and a 1.2 demo rating. The "Fringe" season finale averaged just under 3.3 million viewers and a 1.2 demo rating, both down a tiny bit from last week. The CW's "Supernatural" improved on its lead-in with 2.08 million viewers and a 0.9 demo rating.
10 p.m. - "Blue Bloods" simultaneously delivered the night's biggest audience with 10.12 million viewers for CBS, but also finished third for the 10 p.m. hour in the key demo with a 1.5 rating. "Dateline" gave NBC the demo win with a 1.9 rating and also averaged 6.57 million viewers in second. ABC "20/20" averaged 6.09 million viewers, good for third, while the newsmagazine's 1.7 demo rating was second for the hour.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

C-Sections On Demand: "Labor Shouldn't Be Viewed As A Rite Of Passage Into Motherhood"Monica Bielanko
While doctors in America are actively trying to reduce the number of elective C-sections, pregnant women in Britain may soon be able to get a cesarean section on demand.
As the Huffington Post reports, the government provides free health care in Britain and a new rule change critics say is the health care system caving into the "too posh to push" crowd will allow women with "no identifiable reason" to have a c-section if they still want one after a discussion with mental health experts.
"In general, a C-section is a safe operation, especially when performed as a planned procedure," the new guidelines, which come from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, say. They will take effect later this month. Pauline Hull, mother of two who has had two sections because of medical reasons and says the guidelines are long overdue.
"It's about time women who have no desire to view labor as a rite of passage into motherhood be able to choose how they want to have their baby," Hull says. "The important thing to me was meeting my baby, not the experience of labor."
Hull runs the website, Elective Cesarean, from her home just south of London and says midwives exaggerate the risks of C-sections and underestimate those of vaginal births.
Babble's own Meredith Carroll agrees, calling her scheduled c-sections a "satisfaction guarantee".
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in Britain says it routinely updates guidance every few years and denies there was any pressure to change its more restrictive C-section advice. But in recent years, advocates and some doctors have slammed the U.K. health system for not giving women a greater say in childbirth.
Some experts don't see the new guidelines as a big deal. "It's only a small percentage of women who ask for a C-section," said Cathy Warwick, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives.
"As long as it's safe for both mother and baby, a vaginal birth is absolutely the best way for anyone to deliver," said Dr. Daghni Rajasingham, an obstetrician and spokeswoman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. As we've reported here on Being Pregnant, although safe, c-sections come with a risk of infections and are generally deemed harder to recover from.
"Women shouldn't think a C-section is going to be a walk in the park, but they should have all the information they need to help them make an informed choice," Hull retorts. True. Some even say that whatever pain you miss from labor, you get on the flip side with recovery.
Personally, I prefer a vaginal birth as I'm kind of into childbirth as experienced by millions of women before me and medical intervention but I'm also grateful that c-sections are so safe and are an option should I encounter any medical emergencies. However, I don't think I'd ever schedule one. What about you? What are your thoughts about c-sections on demand? Should women, especially those who, as Hull says, "have no desire to view labor as a rite of passage into motherhood" be able to have the birth of their choice?

Also known as the Fly River turtle, the Pig-nosed turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) is undoubtedly one of the strangest turtles in the world. Unlike any other freshwater turtle, it possesses flippers resembling those of marine turtles. This turtle gets its descriptive name, "pig-nosed," because its nose actually resembles that of a pig. Its nostrils are located directly in front of the fleshy, protruding snout.
The carapace and limb color of the Pig-nosed turtle may be gray to olive. Plastral color is very light, either white, cream or yellowish. Males can be distinguished from females by their much larger tails which have the vent located near the tip. This turtle grows to be very large, attaining a maximum weight of 49.5 lbs (22.5 kg) and a maximum length of 22 inches (56.3 cm) [Georges and Rose, 1993].
The distribution of the Pig-nosed turtle is limited to northern Australia, southern Irian Jaya and southern New Guinea. Typical habitat includes rivers, estuaries, lagoons, lakes, swamps and pools. Most Pig-nosed turtles have been found in waterways having sand and gravel bottoms covered with silt, and averaging a depth of six feet. The banks of these waterways are typically heavily forested. Two areas in which this turtle has been studied are the Fly River area in southern New Guinea and the Daly River in northern Australia.
As with many turtles in remote locations, the Pig-nosed turtle was once believed to be extremely rare. Although exact population numbers are not currently available, it is known to be very common in its range. But, there have been recent reports of population declines in some areas in which the species was once abundant. Because of this, Australia has protected this turtle from exploitation. However, New Guinea has not implemented any conservation measures. Because of its protection in Australia, the Pig-nosed turtle has rarely been available on dealer lists in the United States. However, I am aware of dealers in Japan and other countries which frequently offer Pig-nosed turtles for sale.
Because of their large size, adult Pig-nosed turtles require and large pool or pond in captivity. Smaller individuals may be kept in aquaria. Aquatic plants and underwater hiding spots are preferred. Water temperature must be kept between 79° F (26.1° C) and 86° F (30° C). Water quality is vital to successfully keeping this species. High-quality filtration systems such as UV and/or biological systems must be provided. Failure to maintain excellent water quality will inevitably lead to fungal or bacterial skin disorders. There is no need to provide a basking spot for the Pig-nosed turtle; it is entirely aquatic. Access to land must be provided for adult females so they may nest. Clutches of eggs typically number between seven and 39 eggs.
Although Pig-nosed turtles are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plant and animal matter; they prefer more plant matter than animal matter in the wild. Their natural diet centers around the fruit and leaves of the wild fig. Captives thrive on a diet of figs, apples, kiwi fruit and bananas, as well as occasional pieces of fish and shrimp. Some successful keepers of Pig-nosed turtles have found that starting hatchlings on a diet of Reptomin and later introducing Purina trout chow works very well. Some have also found these turtles to be very fond of mealworms and pinky mice. Typically, these keepers provide three feedings per week. After feedings, it is a good idea to remove any uneaten food particles from the water with a net to help keep the water clean.
**Very little captive breeding has occurred with this species, but some keepers have indicated to me that they are hopeful that this situation will turn around in the next few years. Those keepers who have artificially incubated the eggs of Pig-nosed turtles have found them to exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination, i.e. sex is determined by the temperature at which the eggs were incubated. Males are produced when eggs are incubated at a constant temperature range of 82 - 86° F (27.7-30° C). Incubation period varies from 60 to 70 days. Growth of captive hatchlings has proven to be very slow.
This species is known to be extremely aggressive. Therefore, it is very important to keep a low population density in a single enclosure, as well as to provide ample hiding spots. Even young specimens exhibit extreme aggression toward each other; they must be provided with at least as many hiding places as there are turtles. Because of its aggressive tendencies, it is unsafe to house other turtle species in the same enclosure as the Pig-nosed turtle. Some keepers do not even house adult male and female Pig-nosed turtles together on a continual basis because of their extremely aggressive behavior.
Some think Pig-nosed turtles are an oddity, but I just love them. Their fluid movements are breathtaking. If you sit in front of an aquarium with a Pig-nosed turtle gliding back and forth, I am sure you will agree that they are truly a thing of beauty.

• Coronary artery stenosis and obstruction has recently been attacked by balloon dilation. Only a small percentage of patients are candidates for this procedure. Animal experiments were designed to extend the applicability of this technique. Stenosis was made by placing an intraluminal suture. This was then overcome by slicing the artery longitudinally and then dilating it. Ten animals demonstrated the feasibility of this concept when studied by injection, x-ray films, and microscopy.

Answering a question on whether Chris Drury's NHL career is over, Adam Proteau at The Hockey News says this…
"Drury's finger injury may have thrown off his game, but he's logged a lot of hard miles on that 34-year-old body – including more than a regular-season-and-a-half of playoff games (130 in total) – so the end may indeed be near."
Proteau also mentions the Rangers buying Drury out this offseason or sending him to the CT Whale.
…before I get to Drury, it just baffles me that a guy like Proteau doesn't do his homework. If he did, he'd know that Drury has a no movement clause and would have to waive it before being sent down to the Whale. Which I doubt he'd do.
…as far as Drury goes, while he is probably the most deserving Ranger to sit in the press box once players start getting healthy, I don't see Torts doing it to the Rangers Captain. The one guy I see as the odd man out is EC. With the shootout prowess of MZA and Wolski he has become expendable. Plus as I've said about Drury, I think he will be very beneficial if the Rangers are lucky enough to get in the playoffs.
…let me hear your thoughts.

Donor shortage is a national concern
When it comes to organ donation any number is significant, and a five percent decline in donors is certainly cause for concern. There was an increase, however, in the number of patients who received transplants in Colombia, especially liver and heart.
"In 2012 there were 207 liver transplants, an increase of 11,9 percent compared to 2011. There were also 99 heart transplants, a significant 20,7 percent increase." But the story is different for kidney patients, as waiting lists are extremely long and the average wait increases each year.
Experts feel that increasing educational campaigns may help alleviate the situation and debunk some of the myths surrounding donation that exist.

Cat shot with hunting arrow
Bainbridge animal will be OK
Police in Lancaster County are looking for the person who shot a cat with a hunting arrow.
Investigators released pictures of the cat, which miraculously survived.
Susquehanna Regional Police said the cat, named Mack, was shot in December in the 300 block of Walnut Street in Bainbridge.
Police said it is "amazing" the cat is still alive. A vet removed the arrow and said Mack will be OK.
"Police asked me if I have any enemies in this area, and I don't -- not that I know of. I think it was somebody just out for trouble and I think they're very cruel," said Jean Kissinger, the cat's owner.
Investigators said they are processing the arrow for fingerprints in an effort to track down who shot it.

Schools have always had dress codes. Some rules were made for safety precautions, others simply to regulate indecent attire. But are public schools taking it too far? Area students have conflicting opinions.
Brittany Packard, a senior at Lackawanna High School, says that there is nothing wrong with her school's regulations on attire.
"I think our current dress code is fine, it gets the job done without being really strict," Brittany said.
Mike Lepkowski, a senior at Orchard Park High School, has a similar opinion.
"I think dress codes are good and needed, but flawed in a few places," Mike said.
However, students from Frontier and West Seneca West high schools see things very differently.
"I think it's a major subtract from freedom of speech but a necessary point of contention," says Trek Fulater, a senior from West Seneca West. "While I believe fully [in] the ability to remove profanity and sexually charged comments, some of the things like cheer clothing and chains are just forms of self-expression."
Trek also mentioned that enforcing the dress code is an obstacle that gets in the way of class time.
"I think that the rules forcing teachers to go after violators interrupts the learning process and is ultimately a doomed endeavor. It doesn't change anything," he said.
Jillian Pappagallo, a senior at West Seneca West, has a different bone to pick with the school's dress code.
"It doesn't handle the girls who wear short shorts and pencil skirts with revealing shirts," Jillian says. "I would love to make a specific rule that stated that girls can't wear the least amount of clothing possible."
Courtney Browning, a senior at Frontier, disagrees, saying that it's the students' responsibility and dress codes aren't necessary.
"I think that schools definitely go overboard on the dress codes," Courtney said. "Some in effect because they think students' clothes are too revealing or distracting to other students. But in all other cases I don't think they are needed. By high school you should be mature enough to handle the way people dress and mature enough to know what is school-appropriate and what isn't."
However, Frontier Principal Jeffrey Sortisio believes that Frontier's dress code is necessary.
"We are very clear that we are not the fashion police," Sortisio said. "Our goal is not to judge students' attire in terms of aesthetic acceptability. As a large suburban high school, we have all genre of students represented. They are free to express themselves within reason and within the tenets of the code of conduct. Dress that is deemed distracting to the school environment is prohibited. Basically, one student's idea of fashion cannot interfere with another's opportunity to learn. As with all areas of the code of conduct, we strive to be fair and consistent. I do think we meet that mark more often than not."
But what about those students who don't care what is school-appropriate and what isn't? Perhaps if dress codes were more lenient, the only students affected would be the ones truly dressing indecently.
"As long as nothing is showing completely or see-through then I think it's fine," Courtney said. "As hot as the school gets, if I wore shorts down to my fingertips, I would be sweating all day."
Brittany mentioned the heat as well. "The only thing I'd change is for it to allow us to wear modest tank tops (two-finger width straps) because it gets pretty warm toward the end of the year."
>Bag it
Aside from the obvious articles of clothing addressed in a dress code handbook, West Seneca West also has regulations on students carrying bags. Female students are allowed to carry any sort of bags they choose, despite the unenforced rule that states bags must be folder-sized or smaller, and male students are prohibited from carrying anything.
"It's ridiculous," Trek said. "I think it's absolutely horrific that the West Seneca administration bent over for all of the girls and then enforced the bag policy on the guys. Enough with the double rule."
Jillian agrees. "I don't think its fair that the girls are allowed to carry around the oversized bags and the guys can't carry the drawstring bags."
She believes it would be better (and much more fair) to allow everyone to carry bags and just regulate the size.
"Girls don't need the bags as big as a suitcase inside school," she said. "They only serve as a cover-up for texting. As for their feminine products, there are other means to hide them or keep them safe."
While West Seneca West's dress code doesn't specifically state anything regarding bags, Principal Jay Brinker, who has been principal for a year, is investigating the source of the rule.
"I never knew where the bag issue came from," Brinker said. "At the end of last year when students came to me and said, �Mr. Brinker, the boys can never wear bags,' I saw a bit of inequality. I started my safety team on why do we have this rule, why do we have this and what are the recommendations from the FBI or the secret service on carrying bags. What are parents', students' and faculty opinions on this issue?"
Brinker is determined on finding the reasons behind the rule as well as setting equal standards for both male and female students. He even took a leap of faith and put school funding into buying mesh drawstring bags for the students, especially the boys, to use.
"I didn't think the students would go for it. I thought maybe we'd sell the hundred we ordered over the summer over the course of a few school years, maybe even just this one if we were lucky," he said. "We sell them in the school store for $5 and � about 250 have sold already. We'll sell them at cost for $7.50 [in] October."
Despite the general acceptance of the mesh bags in the student population, Brinker still wants to get to the bottom of the issue and have the ability to explain why the rule is in place when students ask.
"I like my job. I like working with kids, I really do," Brinker said. "I want them to come and talk to me, most of the time they want to talk about rules. I have three daughters. I like to explain why. I don't just say, �Don't touch the hot stove,' let me tell you why you shouldn't, why it's not allowed. Right now I don't have those answers but I can assure you I will."
The general consensus seems to be that school dress codes are necessary, but in some cases too strict in certain areas and not strict enough on the rules that really need to be enforced.
Brittany offered one last thought on the matter: "I think dress codes are needed. They are there to make the school look presentable. Well-dressed students make the school look more put together."
Hannah Gordon is a senior at Immaculata Academy.

Galaxy S5 vs HTC One (M8) vs Note 3 vs LG G2 benchmark comparison (video)

It's realy like a screen test
23. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
I cannot feel the difference in performance in any of the current flagships I have tested. Almost all feels performing at same speed... in a real life scenario, its very difficult to feel any difference... whereas, I can feel the difference between displays, sound quality and camera results
27. james004 (Posts: 486; Member since: 15 May 2013)
people still benchmark? everyone uses same processor. dont see the point of these test anymore. more or less same result.

Snapdragon 800 -> Snapdragon 801 -> Snapdragon 805 trends:
1) CPU performance has stagnated for all practical purposes.
2) GPU performance and power efficiency continue to grow just like you'd expect.
Conclusion: ARMv8 can't come soon enough. We need it to improve performance further.

"In the end, all handsets, with the exception of the Nexus 5, performed very well"
Thats bcoz the rest of the OEM are cheating...
3. Zack_2014 (Posts: 378; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)
Since Kitkat Samsung phones does not use benchmark boosters anymore. Please get ur facts right.
Moreover, whats the problem of running processors at their peak limit? I believe that's the reason what benchmarks are made for. (Testing the limits of their respective hardware)
17. CyberFalcon (Posts: 223; Member since: 17 Apr 2014)
Who knows Samsung might have found some other way to boost their scores and in real life Nexus phones are far better than Note 3...
I found some lag in my friends Note 3 while my Nexus 5 doesn't even know what that means...
19. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
That's funny because when I had my Note 3 I NEVER saw lag. Stop trying to post bs because it isn't going to happen.

I get lag in my Note 3 more than I thought I would. Of course the note3 has not been my buddy by any means. I am on my third one, it still does random stuff. Still like it though but it is not without faults like every phone I have owned including my more beloved wp's

and you said last time snapdragon s800.801,805 are diffrent chip, and here nd other websites says its the same chip but clocked higher, also you say these socs are A15 when there not cause even there new chips are based on a53 which is still a a9 cortex when Samsung Exynos and T4 are leading well ahead. i know your a snapdragon fan but im not, im a Exynos a15 fan. Snapdragon dont even have a a15 cpu yet still relying on 3years modified chip.
29. 1ceTr0n (Posts: 549; Member since: 20 May 2012)
I sense a nexus troller, my Note 3 has no lag on Jelly Bean.
41. The-Sailor-Man (banned) (Posts: 1095; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)
HTC already admit that boost the performance. Even HTC statement was that there is nothing wrong with that
44. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
i agree with you.
its just these users are unaware, and they just make direct comment without research

@ CyberFalcon
"Who knows Samsung might have found some other way to boost their scores"
Who knows you are may be pedofile , but I wouldn't mention it unless I have proves.
By the way , even iAnand said that it was ALL THE OEM's doing it, Why you mention only Samsung ???? Even M8 do it NOW
50. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
apex and nova launchers never lag
touchwiz has so many feautres thats why it lags
57. iushnt (Posts: 1709; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
Lag is not the only the criteria to judge which smartphone is better. Practically, I dont believe note 3 lags, I do believe that kitkat samsung doesn't cheat anymore.

If you mean the HTC m8 cuz note 3 running kikat doesn't have boasting script
11. chistoefur (Posts: 103; Member since: 05 Nov 2012)
That's because the Nexus 5 doesn't have dalvik optimizations. There was a dalvik patch that came out for the moto x a little while ago, and people flashed it on their nexus 5's and scored more than the Note 3 in Antutu. It's all about optimizations.
I'm sure when ART is introduced as the default runtime, the Nexus 5 will score better, even though numbers don't matter since it already performs better than any galaxy device, while being on par with the m8.
20. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
You just hit the nail in the head, i flashed dalvik optimization from the moto x to my nexus 5 and it scored well over 30k on Antutu and a little over 20k on Quadrant.
30. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
Same here, its not the slow dog its made out to be when the software is on equal footing for optimizations.
53. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
I did that and along with a different kernel, scored a 35k on my Nexus 5....
37. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
you should take tech lessons
its called smart CPU programing. when it detects heavy load or intesnce files it boosts the onboard reserve power
5. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
Some people care so much about benchmarks it's not funny anymore. All these phones are great performers. The only difference between them are some look,feel and have better features than others. Aside that they are all practically the same. Android is now IOS or Apple. It's had to tell the speed difference between iPhone 5 and 5s. That's what's happening to android now.
6. adwienc (Posts: 136; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
M8 looks so bad in my opinion, they should leave physical buttons.
26. Lboogey6 (Posts: 281; Member since: 31 Jan 2012)
i didnt notice until they were put next to other phones with full screen its such a long phone now kinda weird to operate but fret not there are htc fan boys that love the awkward but "all metal" design

You got worked up from that? You must be the overly sensitive type. Very little of what I post on forums like this is in a worked up state of mind. I have real problems in the real world that I actually worry over, like a very sick daughter who refuses to get the help she needs. That I get worked up over.
34. Deaconclgi (Posts: 405; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
If your daughter is a minor and in your care, make her/take her to get the care she needs as you have a right to, regardless of what her opinion is.
Now, if she is grown, then yes, you have a right to be as worked up as you want to be, especially if you have taught her better.
I have two daughters, one grown and moved out and another that is still a minor that lives with us. The grown one has had me and my wife worked up over her not handling sickness properly on many occasions. Once, I was so worked up and having exhausted all I could say and do to my now grown child, I found myself quoting Ivan Drago by saying "If she dies....she dies" NOW THAT IS WORKED UP!!!!" She's grown and on her own now, we can't force her to do anything.
Yes, real life and things more important than smartphones can get a person truly worked up.
With all of that said, I hope that your daughter gets the help she needs and gets well soon.
36. tedkord (Posts: 11727; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
She is 22. When I say sick, I'm talking bulimia, not anything like cancer. She can't see what she's doing to herself. Believe me, if she were a minor she would be in a treatment center. I told her I'd rather she hated me for another 60-70 years for committing her somewhere like that than love me for 5 years and die.
Thanks for the well wishes. I hope she gets better, but we recently had to tell her to move out because it was tearing the family apart, and she refused to follow any of the house rules. It was awful, but we have a 12 year old son and since she won't voluntarily get better, we don't want him exposed to the turmoil in the house anymore.

Ignore benchmarks, it's less confusing that way.
47. baldilocks (Posts: 746; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
The Nexus 5 doesn't include a few lines of code that make it perform well on benchmark tests. In the real world, it outperforms everything else. PhoneArena needs to research before writing.

46. baldilocks (Posts: 746; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
The stock Nexus 5 doesn't have all of the 'optimizations' to run synthetic benchmarks. When added, the Nexus 5 benchmarks just like the LG G2.
Even so, the Nexus 5 is the smoothest Android phone out there.
55. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
It really is a smooth running phone - just wish it was a big screen, like my Coolpad...
60. dr_ge (Posts: 2; Member since: 26 Apr 2014)
It's interesting that HTC One M8 scored better than the Samsung Galaxy S5 in most benchmark tests, despite having a slightly lower CPUC clock speed -- 2.3 GHz vs. 2.5 GHz, respectively.
This shows that HTC One M8 has better build quality than the Samsung Galaxy S5 not only on the outside but also on the inside -- better motherboard design etc.

ALLEGAN, MI -- Perrigo Co. says it has started making shipments of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s authorized generic form of acetaminophen-overdose treatment Acetadote injection.
Acetadote is an acetylcysteine injection indicated to prevent or lessen hepatic injury (of or concerning the liver) if it is administered intravenously within 10 hours after a person ingests a potentially hepatotoxic quantity of acetaminophen.
Perrigo announced on Nov. 13 that it had settled patent-infringement litigation brought by Nashville, Tenn.-based Cumberland, in which Perrigo entered an agreement that allows Perrigo to distribute Cumberland-sourced authorized generic product and allows Perrigo to launch a generic version of Acetadote injection after its patent protection expires in May of 2026.
Cumberland's Acetadote has had annualized sales of about $41 million, as measured by information service Wolters Kluwer.
Perrigo develops and distributes over-the-counter and generic prescription pharmaceuticals and nutritional products sold under the labels of major retail store chains. It also makes active pharmaceutical ingredients used by some other pharmaceutical companies.
