Merry Christmas!
I've had a good Christmas break so far, although it has been a bit more hectic than expected. I still managed to get some paining in, as well a few good games of Warmachine.
I played my first 750 point games this week against Jen, our local Press Ganger. We really played three games, but the first ended really quickly thanks to some sloppy positioning on my part, allowing Epic Madrak to deliver the "axe to mouf" as Jen likes to say. The second game was a pretty epic affair against a Nemo list. This was my first outing with Nemo, and I like the old man pretty well. The list looked something like this:
- Nemo (non-epic)
- Ogrun Bokur (cliented to Nemo)
The idea behind this list was to turn Nemo into a focus monster by having Jr. and Strangewayes cast each turn, feeding extra focus to him for the next turn. As the action gets hot, Nemo could pull one more off of the Squire each turn, making him a 10 focus caster. That means he should be able to put 5 on Rowdy, and still have enough to toss out Chain Lightning amd boost a couple of damage rolls or upkeep both Electrify and Disruption field (for the +1 STR). I'll admit, most of Nemo's bag o' tricks isn't that useful vs. Hordes, but in a way, it also simplifies things and allows Nemo to run a very in your face kind of list. In the end, I lost the second game as well, but it was an epic four hour affair and I killed a pile of trolls in the process. I had all the warbeasts dead and eMadrak within 4 wounds when he finished off Nemo by ricocheting his axe off of the Squire.
A misplaced Nemo takes an axe to the face, and dies early ending game one.
Looking back, the Defender didn't pay off, and certainly not for 122 points. Too many targets, too few shots. I need something that kills faster. The Bokur also died fast and ugly, but I'm not sure that was his fault - he just got unlucky and took a charge for something like 33 damage in one hit. Long gunners more than earned their points, holding down an entire flank on their own – they would have even dominated that flank if a Fell Caller (who earned a fancy base and the nickname "Juan Cinco") hadn't made a ridiculous FIVE tough checks in a row against full unit CRAs. For next time, I will drop two long gunners, the defender and the bokur, and replace them with the Thunderhead. I'm hoping that will give me the mass-killing capability that the list lacked before. Plus, Rowdy and the Thunderhead rolling together should have a good intimidation factor.
A couple days later, we took Jen's adjusted troll list out for a test drive again Hailey. Jen had switched it up by dropping one of her warbeasts (a Slag Troll) and replacing it with a THIRD unit of Kriel Warriors.
This time my list looked like this:
- Hailey (prime)
- Squire
- Ol' Rowdy
- Thorn!
- Journeyman Warcaster
- Hunter (run by Jr.)
- Stormblades + UA
- 9 Sword Knights + UA
- Piper of Ord
- Black 13th
- Finn
(Notice the exclamation point behind Thorn's name. That is because he is perfect in every way. )I was hoping the Stormblades would give me the punch to deal with the Trollkin Champions, as they just ravaged me last time. I had only played them in one other game, in which they got dark seduced by Denny, and I had to kill them off myself, so I kind of wanted to see what they could do.
This was also my first game with the Black 13th and Finn. The Black 13th have a lot of rules, and as a noob, I don't so much like things with a lot of rules, so I had avoided them to this point, but eventually I had to give into the hype. I don't so much care about Finn in this list, but he was the right number of points to fill the list out, so he got to come along and play. If the Sword Knight UA was out, he would have been benched.
That is a shitload of trolls.
My Stormblades died quickly and horribly to a jacked-up caber toss, only managing to kill 2 champs and not earning anywhere near their points. The Black 13th turned out to be as sick as everyone says, tearing up a most of two units of Kriel Warriors. After of two turns of a mostly failed offensive I switched from the Chain Lighting blitzkrieg to Temporal Barrier, which really screwed the trolls - the only ranged option in their army was an Impaler, who was unfortunately (for Jen at least) frenzying all over her Krielstone bears at that point. We had to call the game for time, and I took the win by VPs, although things were starting to feel pretty good – I think had it gone to its natural conclusion, I could have pulled out the win – baring some kind of heroic assassination run, which you can't put past Madrak. Again, Jen did a great write up in battle report format. You can read about the match in detail (along with my comments) here.
I feel like I'm really starting to get better with my army, and I'm finding my own play style. That is one of the things I really enjoy about Warmachine – even within one army, there is a lot of latitude for different ways to play them. You can take an army, fit it to your style and make it your own.
Now I'm looking forward now to Christmas morning, and then getting back to the painting table. Merry Christmas to all of you. May the holidays find you healthy, happy and safe. And maybe if you were really good, you'll have some pewter, a sourcebook or two, and maybe a good video game under your tree.

'Probiotic' is one of the most popular word in health food industry today. The health food and grocery stores today are full of options on probiotic food and drinks. The literal meaning of probiotic is 'for life'. Probiotics in scientific terms are microorganisms who provide enormous health benefits when consumed. In normal terms, they are friendly bacteria needed for our body to maintain a healthy gut.
Yogurt is one such super healthy food made by adding friendly bacteria to the milk. Doctors recommend eating a bowl of yogurt (400 gms) every day. Being a dairy product, Yogurt is not only packed with Calcium and Protein, it is also a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, B2, B12, Riboflavin, Potassium, Phosphorous and Magnesium.
Let's now look at some well researched health benefits of yogurt:
Yoghurt is effective in the prevention of Osteoporosis. This calcium rich food serves great benefits when fortified with Vitamin D. Look for yogurt with a boost of vitamin D as consumption of Calcium and vitamin D on a regular basis can aid in the prevention of Osteoporosis.
In cases of gastrointestinal conditions like diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease and constipation, eating yogurt ensures that our digestive system regains its balance with good bacteria.
Many of us need to consume antibiotics in sickness to eliminate the infection. However, antibiotics not only kill disease causing, but good bacteria as well. Thus, it is very beneficial to consume yogurt especially when on antibiotics to help our body replenish lost nutrients and good bacteria.
Yogurt has now emerged as a beauty ingredient. A lot has been said about yogurt and weight management as well as its skin care benefits. A lot of beauty products now boost of yogurt goodness. Eat Yogurt and apply a yogurt mask for a spotless glowing skin!
Yogurt can leave you feeling full for long as it has high-quality protein. Thus, it can be a great snacking option. These days, yogurt occupy a big place in the food industry. We have many options over the counter from frozen yogurt, sweetened or flavored ones, smoothies to thick Greek yogurts. Though they are all great options to have, it is important to go for trusted brands and read the ingredients before you buy. Nutritionists, however, recommend fresh homemade yogurt over the ready-made ones to reap their maximum benefits.
There are many ways to add variety to your yogurt bowl every day. Whip it up with some fresh fruits; add ground flax seeds or nuts for a boost of Omega-3. Blend it with some natural honey and muesli for a perfect healthy smoothie.
Say cheers to good health with a bowl of yogurt every day! If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an ayurveda.
Communication in any relationship is indispensable for creating a strong bond between a couple. Sexual communication even more so and often the hardest thing to do.
Sexual Communication is when you and your partner are able to express your needs and wants without the conversation being awkward, taking in account what the other feels. It is a fulfilling, satisfying, and a fun part of life. The physical aspect of love is an important part of a relationship and communicating with your partner about it only helps to make it better. Sexual communication will make it easier for you to take pleasure in sex with safety and have a satisfying sex life.
Physical Communication: Communication is not linked with words only. Sometimes, a gentle hand placed on your shoulder or back, a simple glance at you or even a wink are enough to lure someone towards you. Healthy and amazing sexual activity is procured mainly through physical intimacy. Almost all the time, couples find out what the other is thinking even without asking them. 'Actions speak louder than words' is proven to be very true in this case. So, ensure that you understand physical cues of each other.
Sexual Directions: Giving your partner verbal or physical direction is an integral part of achieving a satisfied sexual life. He or she needs to be informed of where to touch you and where not to in order to turn you on. If your spouse is clueless of what you might want or expect in bed, sexual gratification will not only become impossible but may turn disastrous. If there is verbal communication between you two such as, 'kiss me' or 'touch me there', the sexual experience will become ten times better. This happens only when there is love and proper sexual communication.
Conversational Communication: Sexual urge is aroused only when there is vocal communication. All relationships require good oral communication. Communication related to sex must be done tactfully without making it awkward or uncomfortable. It will help solve many issues in your sexual and love life. You must focus on what your partner might prefer doing more or may work around issues which cause strife and eventually resolve them.
Intimacy: Emotional as well as sexual intimacy requires honest communication. Some display their inner inhibitions while others are reserved in matters of expression on sexual life. Each couple is accustomed to different and unique styles of communication with their partners. It is important to be able to comfortably and smoothly express yourself and get instant feedback from your spouse in order to be most compatible with each other. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Gynaecologist.
Causes, treatment and home remedies for Sexual Disorder
Glucose is the primary ingredient within the body which is turned into an energy source. This is what we use when we move, walk or make the slightest movements. To metabolize glucose into energy, your body needs insulin, which is a hormone produced within the pancreas. However, if the body doesn't react to the insulin or the pancreas is unable to produce enough, glucose cannot be converted into energy and thus results in type 2 diabetes.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes
- Sudden or gradual weight loss despite increased hunger - Many people complain that they feel hungry and eat more, but despite this, tend to lose weight. This occurs as the body cannot metabolize glucose and uses energy reserves from fat or muscles leading to weight loss.
- Frequent infections and slow healing - If you are afflicted with Type 2 diabetes, then it might affect your immune system and you may be prone to infections. Also, any cuts or bruises on your body will take much longer to heal than normal.
- Irritability and fatigue - Another common symptom of type 2 diabetes along with the other symptoms mentioned here is quick irritability and fatigue. This is because most of the body is deprived of sugar and thus lacks the energy needed to function normally.
- Constant thirst and increased urination - If you feel constantly thirsty despite drinking ample water and urinating frequently, this may be a tell tale sign of type 2 diabetes.
- Skin darkening in folds and creases of the body - Also known as acanthosis nigricans; this is a darkening of the skin where it also becomes velvety to the touch. It usually develops in the folds on skin in areas such as the neck and armpits and is a direct result of insulin resistance.
Causes of Type 2 diabetes
Some of the most common causes of Type 2 diabetes could be:
- Being overweight
- Lack of physical activity
- Genetic predisposition or family history
- If you are more than 45 years of age
- Hormonal problems such as Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Treatment or management of type 2 diabetes
In most cases, major lifestyle changes can easily keep the symptoms of type 2 diabetes in check although in certain cases medications may also be required. Some of the steps necessary are as follows:
- Change in diet and healthy eating
- Physical activity and exercising
- Regular blood sugar monitoring and
- Blood sugar medication along with insulin therapy if necessary

Eating healthy food and getting enough rest and exercise may not be enough to boost your immune system, particularly when you are being exposed to bacteria and viruses in your increasingly polluted environment. Your immune system needs a bit more help and Homeopathy offers more than a helping hand, find the top 5 homeopathic immunity medicines listed below that will supplement your body resistance.
The immune system is like a fort to protect the body against foreign invaders (or pathogens) like fungi or parasites, bacteria, viruses etc. Inimical entities are also being created from within, auto-immune disorders and diseases like cancer. Proper immune function is an complex balancing act which nature has to carryout but with a little help. While functioning properly, our immune systems is able to discriminate effectively, between body's own tissues and foreign pathogens. A weakened immune system makes you vulnerable to virtually every type of illness. If the immune response becomes overactive or misdirected it begins to target the body's own tissues for foreign invaders and starts attacking them.
Immunity is influenced by the digestive capabilities and our ability to digest, assimilate and absorb nutrients in our bodies. In a healthy body where immune function is strong, any invaders are neutralized or destroyed and then expelled and normalcy is restored. If digestive capabilities are impaired by an imbalance, metabolism is affected and the immune response and natural resistance are lowered. If the body is unhealthy by stored toxins from undigested food, then an environment is created in which invaders are encouraged to thrive. Over indulgence in activities like masturbation is reported to ruin your immune system since it depletes necessary hormones and neuro chemicals.
What happens when your immune system is compromised? You suffer from extreme fatigue. You loose appetite, your body hurts, you get ill often and this could be life threatening.
Immunity in Infants
For the first 4 to 6 weeks , Newborns are at high risk for colds or other infections since their immune system is functionally immature. Babies derive immune protection from the placenta before birth and through antibodies from the mother's breast milk. But there are many germs they can't fight off.
It's vital to get the newborns build a strong immune system before they are exposed to cold viruses. A virus that is capable of mild illness in an older child or an adult can cause a more serious illness in a newborn. Homeopathy is another way by which you can boost the immune system of a baby. An infant who falls ill repeatedly can benefit from homeopathy as it will build the child's resistance and his immunity becomes better. Homeopathic medicines like Schwabe Munostim globules is an activator of the immune system and is indicated in prevention of seasonal problem in children. It can be used together with other specific medicines against cold, flu and against allergies
Why Homeopathy to boost your immunity?
- Unlike antibiotics homeopathy does not 'neutralize' an infection , instead it strengthens the body's immune system to fight disease or infection.
- The modern system of homeopathy looks towards systemic detoxification that causes weakening of defense mechanism. It therefore works on removing poisoning or toxicity from bone marrow, liver, spleen, lymphocytes, lymph nodes that play a vital role in immune defense mechanism
- Homeopathy is more palatable than many conventional medicines since the mildly sweet pills, powders or liquids are easy to dispense and consume.
- Homeopathy is effective on any problem associated with a compromised immune system or lowered immune response.
- Patient on Homeopathy regains appetite after few days thus helping the patient gain weight.
- Homeopathy helps control opportunistic infections associated with a compromised immune system.
- Homeopathy decreases the viral load after few months of regular consumption.
- Homeopathy is well tolerated in patients of all age groups and has been used by thousands of patients in several countries with no adverse effects reported.

Anemia is a disease which occurs due to the lack of red blood cells or hemoglobin in your body. The body transports oxygen and the nutrition you get from food, to various body parts through hemoglobin, and a deficiency can cause lower supply of these important elements to the body. Which is why, the patient may feel a lack of energy, dizziness and even exhaustion. Most people don't realize its existence, so it's important that you know the symptoms, causes and cures of this blood disease. And, the foods one should eat to avoid anemia.
- Lack of iron: There are various forms of this illness, and one of it is iron deficiency anemia. The red blood cells in the blood contain hemoglobin, which requires iron for formation. If the diet is not adequately loaded with iron, the person can have iron deficiency anemia. This is the most ordinary one that occurs to people, but with adequate care through food, exercise, and medicines, you can tackle it.
- The root cause: Faulty production of red cells (hereditary conditions like sickle cell anemia, bone marrow disorders, etc. is the common cause of anemia. Excessive destruction of red blood cells, which is not compensated by normal production (spleen disorders, thalassemia, etc.) can be another reason. People with blood loss conditions (ulcers, gastritis, internal bleeding, excessive menstruation, childbirth, etc. and the ones who consume a poor diet can also get this blood disease.
- Know the symptoms: There are essentially nonspecific symptoms of anemia, but overall fatigue with very low energy levels as the body does not receive enough nutrition to perform various functions can be one of them. Reduced heart rate, fainting, and pallor of skin and whites of the eye are common indicators of this illness. Check with your doctor if you face any of these issues.
- Foods for prevention: If you follow a healthy diet that is full of nutrients like iron, you can keep anemia at bay. Remember, weight is not an issue here. If you have a good diet intake, you need not worry about being slim. Often, women who are thin get labeled as anemic, which is far from truth. When it comes to nutrients, iron-rich foods should be eaten along with vitamin C to improve its absorption. Vitamin B12 also plays a significant role in absorption. Meat including red meat, lamb, pork, chicken, beet, ham, turkey, and seafood including salmon or tuna can be included in your diet. Other foods like legumes, soybeans, veggies (dark green leafy vegetables, spinach, peas, broccoli), dried fruits and nuts, tofu, pumpkin and eggs are rich sources of iron that can be consumed by vegetarians. Cereals like red rice, brown rice or fortified cereals with a good source of iron can also be included in the diet.
- Don't miss out on iron, ladies! Women are likely to be anemic (with symptoms like fatigue and paleness) and hence they should constantly monitor for iron levels and shift to a diet rich in iron. Furthermore, iron supplements can be consumed in the form of tablets, syrup, or tablets with the guidance of a doctor. In severe cases, where there is a significant blood loss, especially with childbirth or internal bleeding, the sufferer may require transfusion. All in all, anemia is definitely manageable with planning of diet, especially during times the like menstruation and pregnancy. So, taking care on time is a vital step. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Dietitian/Nutritionist.
Diabetes is a systemic disease that affects almost every part of your body. Of these, the digestive system is the most badly affected. While gastrointestinal disorders are commonly experienced by everyone, diabetics have a much higher risk of suffering from indigestion, food poisoning, gallstones and ulcers. Some of the most common gastrointestinal problems experienced by diabetics are:
- Gastroparesis: High blood sugar levels can damage the vagus nerve that controls the emptying of the stomach. As a result fo this damage, the muscles of the stomach and intestines do not work optimally leading to a condition known as Gastroparesis. This is a condition where the stomach is not able to empty itself properly and the digestion process is slowed down. Gastroparesis can cause bloating, nausea, pain in the abdomen, heart burn and a loss of appetite. It can also cause undigested food in the stomach to harden and form lumps that block food from moving into the intestines. This disease cannot be cured but can be managed with medication and a special diet.
- Ulcers: Stomach ulcers can be described as open sores that develop on the inner lining of the stomach, oesophagus and beginning of the small intestine. These ulcers form as a result of bacterial infections. Diabetes weakens a person's immune system thus reducing their ability to fight these infections and increasing the risk of developing ulcers. Diabetes also increases the risk of bleeding from these ulcers and secondary infections that may arise from it.
- Yeast infections: Diabetics are extremely vulnerable to yeast infections. This is aggravated by fluctuation in blood sugar levels and can extend from the mouth to the oesophagus. Common symptoms of this type of yeast infection are pain in the throat and difficulty swallowing. It may also cause heartburn and intestinal bleeding if left untreated.
- Celiac sprue: This condition creates gluten allergies and causes the inflammation and thinning of the small intestine's mucosa. In some cases, this condition may interfere with the absorption of food and lead to diarrhoea and weight loss.
- Diabetic diarrhoea: Patients who have been suffering from diabetes for a few years may experience an increased urge to pass stools frequently. This is usually related to gastric problems in the colon which cause fluids to move at a faster than normal speed through the small bowel and colon. It may also be caused due to the secretion of fluids in the colon and improper absorption of food. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor.
Homeopathy is a widely accepted alternative system of medicine which was discovered in the late 18th century. Homeopathy believes in the philosophy that the mind, emotions and the body are integrated together. On the basis of this philosophy, a homeopath provides remedies which can suit best to the physical and psychological conditions of a patient. Homeopathic remedies are certainly not very high dose. Its main purpose is to recognize and discard the cause behind the condition.
People hold many misconceptions about homeopathy. Following are some of the myths of homeopathy:
- Homeopathic remedies work slowly: Many people believe that homeopathic remedies cure your medical condition very slowly. Fact is that it works very fast on diseases like cold, fever, etc. When the symptoms are chronic, then only working process is slow. This is because in chronic condition, the body takes little time to cure from inside. It is advisable to start the homeopathic remedies as soon as any symptom is seen.
- Remedies are prescribed by doctors with no formal training: Many people believe that homeopathic remedies are prescribed simply on the basis of the visible symptoms and no diagnosis is done. Fact is that these remedies are prescribed by qualified medical professionals graduated from homeopathy medical colleges. They diagnose your medical condition before prescribing you any remedy.
- Homeopathic remedies are not scientific: Many people consider homeopathic remedies to be unscientific. However, the basis behind homeopathy is pharmacological and clinical data. Vast studies and researches have been conducted on homeopathic remedies and treatment.
- Strict dietary restriction is to be followed at the time of homeopathic treatment: Many people believe that they have to control on their eating habits while undergoing homeopathic treatment. Fact is that for some patients, ingredients like garlic, onion, alcohol, coffee, tobacco etc. are to be avoided during the tenure of treatment. This is simply because these ingredients interfere with the homeopathic treatment.
- Homeopathy can cure any disorder: Some people have a strong belief that homeopathic remedies can cure any disorder or any medical condition. Fact is that this remedy is completely ineffective in case of dental issues or any condition where surgery is the only remedy. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Homeopathic.
The last molar teeth in the mouth are called as wisdom teeth. While in some people they erupt completely into the mouth and function with no problem whatsoever, in others, they remain embedded in the bone, erupt incompletely, erupt at an angle, or are covered by bone or a flap of tissue. They are absent in many.
Of late, dentists recommend removal of wisdom teeth, more a preventive than remedial measure. Some of the reasons for wisdom tooth removal are listed below
Impaction: Often, wisdom teeth do not have enough space to erupt in their normal position. This can only be evaluated properly on an x-ray. If the x-ray shows that the tooth is unlikely to erupt because of being blocked by a root or bone, this needs to be removed.
Pericoronitis: The tooth partially erupts into the mouth but is covered by a flap of gum. This attracts food and bacteria to accumulate, leading to decay and infection, a condition called as pericoronitis. Very common in the lower wisdom teeth, it leads to severe tooth pain, painful swallowing and swelling of the lymph nodes. This is the most common cause for wisdom teeth to be removed. An x-ray will reveal the tooth to be infected and sometimes periapical abscess may also be present.
Cysts: Impacted teeth can develop fluid-filled cysts which can cause severe and even permanent damage to the jaw bone, adjacent teeth and nerves. Dentigerous cysts are the most common type.
Alignment: Misaligned wisdom teeth exert a constant mild pressure on the adjacent teeth which can hamper the alignment and reverse the effects produced by braces. The bite may be altered also, thereby necessitating removal.
Adjacent Tooth Damage: If the malposed wisdom tooth is causing pocket formation or decay in the adjacent teeth, it is time to get them removed.
Recurrent Sinus Infections: With their proximity to sinuses, there could be constant pain and pressure and infection of the sinuses. This is another indication for their removal.
However, not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. If they have erupted fully, are healthy, produce a good bite, and can be cleaned easily, they do not require removal.
During the teenage years and through 20s, check with your dentist on the health of the wisdom teeth. X-rays can be taken to monitor them and for early identification of problems. If they need to be removed, it is easier to take them out when you're young. The bone surrounding the impacted tooth is less dense, and therefore easier. The ability of the body in general and the jaw bones in particular to heal is also better at a younger age.
The horrible effects of summer heat on the body are fairly well known: sunburn, heat stroke and serious dehydration can be life threatening illnesses. But did you know that paying attention to your oral cavity can tip you off and help prevent the onset of serious injury? Don't let the summer heat get you down! This week, explore with us how your mouth can serve as a pathway to healthier, safer living in hotter months.
First things first
You know heat stroke (or sun stroke) is bad, but what is it exactly? Heat stroke is usually the result of lengthy exposure to the sun. For various reasons, the body fails to sufficiently sweat, leading to extremely high internal body temperatures. It is a condition that is typically rapid in onset, requiring immediate medical attention. Left untreated, it can result in multiple organ failures.
The Warning Signs
Many warning signs of summer illnesses actually start in the mouth. Though no two patients experience the same constellation of symptoms, many initially report problems with thirst, dry mouth and dry tongue before the onset of more worrisome indicators.
However, other important signs of dehydration should not be overlooked. These include dry skin, fatigue, light-headedness, headache, dizziness, confusion and/or increased heart rate and breathing.
Drink up
The most important thing you can do to prevent summer heat illnesses is drink plenty of fluids. This is especially true if one has been outdoors working or playing in the sun. Establish a schedule and drink plenty of fluids at regular intervals. You should also be drinking even if you do not feel thirsty or dehydrated. For an extra push, drink solutions like Pedialyte or Gatorade. These help maintain electrolyte balance during extreme heat. Avoid alcohol consumption, as liquor often dehydrates the body and leaves it wanting of critical fluids.
How much is Enough?
During extreme summer heat, you should be drinking at least eight glasses of water a day. But that is not a fixed amount. If you have been outdoors and active, you may need to drink much more. Pay attention to your body to determine how much fluids you should be drinking. Remember, the warnings signs are listed above.

Cooking is an art and we use various cooking procedures to make different recipes. But we have to consider the nutrients loss, nutrients denaturation while opting for cooking practices. I am sharing some tips on healthy cooking methods here.
1) Wash vegetables, fruits before cutting to avoid loss of vitamins and minerals.
2) Do not keep cut vegetables exposed to air for a longer time.
3) Avoid excessive heating of milk to retain protein quality.
3) Avoid reheating of oils and fats as it leads to formation of trans fatty acids and certain toxic substances.
5) Steaming vegetables is a healthier option than boiling.
6) Avoid using plastic containers to microwave foods instead use glass containers.
7) Avoid reheating in microwave.
8) Avoid leaching-discarding water after boiling vegetables/ sprouts.
Some healthy cooking methods are stir frying, steaming, broiling, grilling, baking.

As a pulmonologist, I see patients with breathing problems on a daily basis. Too often do I hear patients express regret about not quitting smoking earlier. The truth of the matter is that it is never too late! quitting smoking is more important than any medicine a doctor can prescribe in preventing long term health problems. So I encourage all my patients who smoke to try every day to cut back and eventually quit smoking.
Patient who smoke need to be ready to quit smoking. If you are not ready to quit smoking, you should think spend a minute every day thinking about the reason why quitting smoking is a good idea. Once you are ready, you should talk to your doctor about ways to help you quit. Even if you don't ask, your doctor may ask about ways to help you quit smoking. Just talking about how to quit smoking is more important that a prescription pad, and there is no quick fix to quitting. Although there are medicines than can help people quit, making a plan is the critical first step.
Nicotine is a powerful drug, more addictive than any drug that can be bought illegally. The nicotine found in cigarettes takes between 7-10 seconds to reach the brain. The thousands of other chemicals in cigarettes are just along for the ride, and they are more toxic than anything you can imagine putting in your body. Most people remember their first cigarette, which was probably bad experience. But the nicotine keeps people coming back for more, even though the adverse effects are obvious to even a first time smoker.
Once you are ready to quit, remember a few things:
- Set a date. The first of the month, someone's birthday, or the day after a particularly stressful week. Try your best to stick to that date.
- Get rid of all the matches, lighters, ashtrays, and that last cigarette you have around.
- Tell your family and friends you are going to give it a shot. Get their support!
- If you slip, don't worry, there is always tomorrow. Give it another chance!
Finally, using a medicine that replaces the nicotine, like the nicoderm patch, nicotine gum, or nicotine lozenges, replaces the only thing in the cigarettes that your brain is addicted to. Once you have gotten over those urges, the chances of giving the cigarettes up for good increases 3-fold! using another medicine, like chantix or buproprion, can increase the chances of quitting even more, just ask your doctor.

If you have concerns about your child's ability to communicate, have his or her hearing tested even if this was done in the newborn period because the most obvious sign of possible hearing loss is a delay in speech.

BeschreibungIn recent years the issue of boys and literacy, namely that they are worse at it compared to girls, has become a key area of interest to all those concerned with the education of our children. This book highlights the key factors causing this divide and discusses the implementation of new strategies to overcome it, which have been the result of extensive qualitative research made by the author. Trisha Maynard reports case study findings of a primary school whose staff wanted to explore and improve boys' attitudes towards and attainment in literacy, and in particular their difficulties with writing.The book highlights issues concerning the reading and writing of stories, what teachers understand by 'good story writing' and the importance of teachers exploring boys' and girls' difficulties with literacy by themselves. It provides significant insight into boys' difficulties with writing as well as informing teachers how to find out about children's attainment.

Reverend Uesifili Unasa wants to keep his mayoral election campaign cleaner than the spotless white robes he wears to deliver his Sunday sermons.
But as a Polynesian with the ambition of wresting south Aucklanders away from the incumbent Len "Downtown" Brown in October's elections, he's already seen how things can get dirty.
This week, half a dozen of his hoardings were torn down. For a grassroots campaign on a shoestring budget, that hurts. It came on top of last month's attack on him by the two sitting Polynesian councillors, Arthur Anae and Alf Filipaina: Pasifika voters wouldn't fall for his pledge to do more for their community, they said.
Unasa, 49, refused to engage, but he says the comments angered some of his campaign team, which includes his wife, Susan. They were an attack on all ethnic minority candidates and not just him, he adds.
Last Sunday, just before his official campaign launch, Unasa leads the service at the Beach Haven Methodist Church. The worshippers at the little white church are barely half a dozen, outnumbered by the real estate agents' signs on the front lawn.
The parishioners, some having worshipped here for more than 50 years, have just learnt that the morning service will be the second-to-last held at the church. It's being closed to make way for housing for the disabled, and the church is using the funds to help keep another struggling parish alive. Real estate is the new religion in this sleepy corner of the North Shore.
After the service, two elderly women, weeping openly, embrace in the aisle."We are being scattered to the four winds," says one.
Unasa, a senior minister in the national Methodist movement, feels first-hand the anxiety of the parishioners and offers comfort by addressing it in his sermon.
"Why should we fear when there is change and there is uncertainty, if the Lord is our shepherd?" he says.
He keeps his sermon short, then slips out of his robes and into a suit and heads across the bridge. On the trip, the metamorphosis from preacher to politician is less Superman, than crazy man, he says.
At the Mt Eden Methodist Church, the steps serve as a stage for his campaign launch. Friends and family gather on the pavement , and, with motorists stuck in the Sunday traffic, hear a passionate speech. "Some have already said to me, you're just a reckless, crazy Pasifika man with nothing better to do with your time or energy."
Unasa is well prepared, with a good grasp of the issues facing Aucklanders.
"We cannot talk about inclusion in our city ... nor can we talk about inclusive leadership (when it is) motivated by political calculation and cozy alliances."
Afterwards, in a sign that his mention of inclusiveness is more than just talk, he invites a minor rival candidate to join him on stage.
Sticking your neck above the parapet, or the pulpit, is not the Pasifika way. But UNasa has been defying stereotypes all his life. Born in the tiny village of Matafa'a, on the Samoan island of Upolu, Unasa moved to Auckland aged nine. His father, a migrant worker, worked at the Westfield freezing works that would give Uesifili his name - Uesifili is a Samoan transliteration of Westfield.
He attended Kelston Boys' High School and the University of Auckland. His parents hoped he would become a lawyer, but he chose a career in the church, training in the Methodist Church in Samoa, before he eventually settled in Mangere, south Auckland. His sons Uesiliana, 21, and Hanson, 19, were both educated at Auckland Grammar and King's College and are studying at the University of Auckland.
Being a man of the cloth, a senior Methodist superintendent and the first Pacific man to hold several senior positions in the church, Unasa has gained a solid understanding of the ins and outs of politics.
"The church is very political," says Unasa, who found himself a "lone ranger" supporting gay marriage in the Pacific church community. "It's not about whether I'm black or white or liberal. It's a justice issue, with people living freely and liberated in the society that they want to live in. It's never been solely about theology."
He sees the closure of the Beach Haven church as evidence of a wider struggle to balance economic reality and the impact it has on real people.
Unasa is something of a paradox. A man who wants to represent south Auckland, in particular the Pacific communities, but lives in Parnell, sent his children to private school and is the chaplain at the University of Auckland. But this is what modern-day Auckland is all about, he says.
"Living in Parnell, working at the university I probably can be seen as being disconnected from south or west but the Pacific people know there's no disconnection. I don't pretend to be anything but what I am. The very issues that we are faced with will be resolved by aspirational ambition and achievements. I can say I've actually got the proof of what Pacific people can be in this city. We're Aucklanders and no one needs to tell me that I'm a disconnected Palagi."
Race, religion and politics sit easily with Unasa, as do his Samoan and south Auckland roots with his Parnell, university life. It's all part of the new Auckland that needn't be defined by which school you attended, where you live, or what your skin colour is.
Uesifili Unasa
• Campaign slogan: A better Auckland for everyone
• Key policy: Strengthen the Southern Initiative, a plan to tackle poverty, education failure, housing overcrowding, youth unemployment in South Auckland.
He says: "Youth educational failure not only impacts on families and communities concerned, but on the whole Auckland region and its future."
On his first day as mayor, Unasa would carry out a review of the mayoral office advisors and staff.
• Blue Sky thinking: Unasa wants to spend $40m-$50m on a flagship convention centre on the waterfront to house all of Auckland's cultural festivals.

Toyota is working with Waste Services of the Bluegrass to build a network of wells at a nearby landfill in order to collect the gases. Construction of the system starts next month and will be finished by early next year. The upshot is that the system will produce one megawatt of electricity per hour, which is the equivalent to the power used by 800 houses.
Last spring, Toyota said it would start producing the Lexus ES at the Kentucky plant after getting almost a $150 million offer from the state. That's because that model is expected to add 50,000 vehicles to the existing production numbers at the plant. And those production numbers are already large, as Toyota makes both the standard and hybrid versions of both the Camry and Avalon there.
Mind you, Toyota's not the first to go this route for factory-energy production. In 2011, General Motors' Orion Assembly Plant started getting about 40 percent of its energy for production of models such as the Chevy Sonic and Buick Verano from methane captured from a landfill nearby. The General estimated at the time that the process would cut the company's energy costs by about $1.1 million a year. Check out Toyota's press release about the Kentucky plant and its future landfill gas below.
Partnership between Toyota and local landfill turns garbage into good
March 24, 2014
GEORGETOWN, Ky. (MARCH, 24 2014) – Can a car company be a vehicle for change? Toyota thinks so. The Kentucky plant that manufactures some of the greenest cars on the road, including two hybrid models, will soon be powered in part by green electricity.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. has teamed up with Waste Services of the Bluegrass to generate power from local landfill waste, marking the region's first business to business landfill gas to energy initiative. Toyota estimates the locally-generated landfill gas will supply enough power each year for the production of 10,000 vehicles.
How it Works
As solid waste naturally breaks down in a landfill, it creates gas. A network of wells at the landfill will collect and prepare this gas, which will be used to fuel generators for electricity. Underground transmission lines will then carry the electricity to Toyota's manufacturing plant, located a few miles south of the landfill.
What's Next
Construction begins in April, and is expected to be complete by early 2015. Once up and running, the system will generate one megawatt of electricity per hour, or about what it takes to power 800 homes, based on average consumption in the U.S. Additionally, landfill greenhouse gas emissions will be cut by as much as 90 percent, which adds up to better air quality for the local community.
"As a corporate citizen of central Kentucky, we are committed to smarter and better ways of doing business to enhance our community and environment," said Todd Skaggs, CEO of Waste Services of the Bluegrass. "We look forward to being a partner in Toyota's sustainability efforts."
Big Picture Thinking
This isn't Toyota's first non-traditional approach to environmental stewardship. Since 2006, the Kentucky plant has been a "zero-landfill" facility, which means waste generated at the plant gets repurposed instead of getting rejected.
Some of the waste goes into a composter, located on the plant's 1300-acre campus. The compost generated is used to fertilize an on-site garden, which has supplied more than 11,000 pounds of produce, or the weight equivalent of 3.5 Camrys, to a local food bank.
And, that's not all. Toyota is investing in a number of sustainable initiatives, locally and globally. "At Toyota, we believe earth-friendly cars are just the beginning," said Jeff Klocke, facilities and environmental manager. "Together with our community, we think we can contribute to a greener world."

About Toyota Kentucky
Toyota's largest vehicle manufacturing plant in North America, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. (Toyota Kentucky) produced the first American-made Camry in 1988. Nearly 10 million vehicles have rolled off Toyota's assembly line in Georgetown, where full-time employment is around 7,000 people and investment tops $5.9 billion. In addition to the Camry, America's best-selling car, Toyota Kentucky manufactures the Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, and four-cylinder and V-6 engines. Beginning late 2015, the plant will begin production of the first U.S.-assembled Lexus, adding 50,000 vehicles to its current annual capacity of 500,000 (engine production capacity: 600,000).

Onimusha (2009)
Onimusha Synopsis
Based on the Capcom video game.
In feudal Japan, 1582, the warlord Nobunaga is ambushed by ninjas, led by the brave samurai Samanosuke. Trapped, Nobunaga commits seppuku, but two sinister sorcerers reanimate Nobunaga's corpse with a half-human insect larvae. The resurrected Nobunaga orders the capture of two very special women to fulfill his evil plans.
When Britta, the daughter of a Dutch merchant, is abducted on board a ship by seemingly invincible warriors, her tutor and confidant Jacob pursues her captors, vowing to rescue her at all costs. Meanwhile, the beautiful Princess Yuki is also kidnapped, this time by ninjas that reveal themselves, incredibly, to be part spider. In search of Yuki, Samanosuke joins forces with Jacob to vanquish their common foe. In the Cave of Elders, he receives a magical sword that will slay all within its reach-friend or foe-and learns of a sinister ceremony at Inabayama Castle intended to blot out the sun.
Performing a dangerous, stealthy invasion of the castle, Samanosuke and Jacob find the women they love dressed as Moon Princess and Daughter of the Sun, ready to be wed to and ravished by Nobunaga. Aided by their allies, the two warriors attack the insectoid hordes, but Samanosuke falls in battle, seemingly dead. In a mystical encounter, he is given the option to survive and fight-but it comes at a terrible cost...

The rural Knox man accused of beating his wife to death, kidnapping a man from a business parking lot, stealing a Jeep at gunpoint in English Lake and leading authorities on a high-speed chase through three counties before shooting himself is back in Starke County. Detective Rob Olejniczak from the Starke County Sheriff's Department and Jailer Joshua Kazee picked Gary Chavez up from the Cook County, Ill. jail today.
He's jailed without bond on charges of murder, kidnapping and carjacking stemming from the June 6th incident. Sheriff's deputies found the body of his wife, Kimberly Chavez, under a tarp in the yard of the couple's rural Knox home. A forensic autopsy found she died of blunt force trauma.
Investigators believe Chavez left his house, drove to Mark Bailey's Discount Center on State Road 10, brandished a gun at a store employee and demanded his vehicle. While driving to English Lake, Chavez reportedly confessed to killing his wife. When he got there, he dumped his passenger and stole a second vehicle. It broke down near Kouts. Authorities in Porter County say Chavez pulled a gun on two men who stopped to help him and stole their truck. That's what he was driving when police in Lake County used stop sticks in an attempt to end the pursuit on Interstate 65 in Crown Point. Chavez shot himself as an officer was approaching and has been hospitalized in Chicago until recently. He will appear in Starke Circuit Court for an initial hearing next week. Chavez also faces a charge in Porter County.

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I am sorry to hear of this. The DDA is essentially a levy, where a creditor levies one's bank account. They can levy the amount that was owing, in addition to costs incurred in levying. They may not have knowledge of your business account, or your business account may be protected, depending on the type of business (LLC, etc) you operate.
Ok, the damage is done. However, I need to put some money in the account to cover some expenses coming thru in the next couple of days. Will they grab more tomorrow.. or do they wait. Or do they have to warn me?
And how do I find out who the levy was from?
There should have been a judgment - were you sued in court, or did you have an IRS bill?
I am working with the IRS on an installment plan. I thought they were holding any levys. I will call them. The state of Georgia issued me a levy warning about they gave me 30 days.. and that isn't up. Don't know if there is a judgement out there on me. I owe a lot of money. I will find out these things.. but in the meantime, can the same company or IRS levy my accounts two days in a row.. or do they have to issue another warning?
Let me check on that. I believe they can do it without a warning, but let me verify.
Will they do it two days in a row?
If there is money they will likely do it. I just want to see if they legally have to give you notice of their intent (I don't believe they do but would like to verify). The safest approach would be to go to a large department store and pay a check fee.
Legally, they should only be able to levy the bank if there is a judgment. (A default judgment may result in you not being aware of a judgment). However, it appears to be rather common practice for banks to accept levy's even without judgment. This is something you can contest; however, if you owe the money, you may be liable for their attorney fees in contesting this. You may want to check with the credit bureaus to see what is on there (judgments stay on for typically 7-10 years). This would give you an idea. In the meantime, if you need money, it would be best to go to an alternative bank and do a cash transaction where you pay a few dollars for a cashier's check. (sometimes paycheck cashing places offer this service). You mentioned you owe a lot of money. We can't give specific legal advice, but I want to make sure you know your options - sometimes people try very hard to pay off debt, only to dig the whole deeper (especially with interest at such high rates for debts). Bankruptcy gives a fresh start. You may want to meet with a bankruptcy attorney so they can consider your particular situations. If there is a law school near you, they may even offer pro bono services.
OK, well I need to make some phone calls. Thank You. I will probably be asking more questions tomorrow.
OK. Meanwhile please check with the credit reporting agencies so you know what is going on. You are entitled to one free report from each agency. Are you familiar with that?
Yes. thank you. What website do I use for the credit report?
Expert :
This is the site that is managed by all three agencies: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp. Please be careful on line- here is their advisory - how they will never contact you via email. https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/helpsecurity - so if you get a contact later by email, don't respond.
Ok, thank you.
It is alarming to login to your bank account and see a charge you do not recognize. A DDA (direct debit authorization) debit on the account can mean many things:
There are instances where DDA debit will appear in occurrences of fraud. If you see this show up on your account and you have not authorized a payment, contact your bank or an Expert for additional help.

FIFA to decide on 2014 World Cup slots next week
By Brian Homewood
BERNE (Reuters) - FIFA will make one of its most politically sensitive decisions next week when soccer's governing body decides how many places each continent will get at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
With South America hoping for an extra spot, CONCACAF demanding a fourth guaranteed place and Asia refusing to settle for anything less than the four-and-a-half berths it had in 2010, the stage is set for a heated two-day session when its executive committee meets in Zurich on March 2-3.
The continental confederations have been jockeying for position ahead of the decision on the 31 available World Cup places, Brazil qualifying automatically as hosts.
Asia Football Confederation (AFC) president Mohamed Bin Hammam said last month that his region wanted at least the four-and-a-half places it had in South Africa.
Australia, North Korea, South Korea and Japan represented Asia in 2010 while Bahrain lost in a playoff to New Zealand, winners of the Oceania qualifying tournament.
Jack Warner, president of the CONCACAF confederation representing North and Central America and the Caribbean, has said his region wants its quota increased to four direct places.
CONCACAF had three guaranteed spots in South Africa last year and Costa Rica lost to Uruguay in a playoff for another place.
"We believe that CONCACAF deserves another full place at the World Cup finals due to the performances of our teams on the field and the actions of our confederation off it," said Warner. Continued...

joist sistering
if i sister ajoist do i have to go the whole lenght of the old joist , i can only go about six inches from the end of the old joist because there is no way i can go the whole lenght idont have enought room
It depends on why the joist is being sistered. Can you elaborate on the reason they're being sistered?
they are being sistering because of a sagging floor
Adding material to the sides of the joists will certainly stiffen them. That will reduce their deflection under load, which is the bounce that you probably feel when walking across the floor.
Ideally, you'd run the sisters from bearing point to bearing point.
I asked why you were sistering to make sure that the joists weren't spliced, cut, notched severely, or otherwise damaged. If they were, the sisters' installation would be more critical.
In order to be effective, the sisters must be securely attached to the existing joists. I'd recommend construction adhesive and nails. Lots of nails.
Normally, the stresses on a joist are highest at mid-span and become smaller as you approach the supports. My understanding is that you can get nearly all the benefit of sistering the whole length of the joist by sistering only the middle 2/3 of the span.
You can also increase the strength of your joists more effectively by adding wood to the bottoms of the joists than by sistering them.
Take a look at this:
The linked thread was muddied by engineering gobbledy-gook that doesn't necessarily hold water in the real world, and generally isn't promulgated on a DIY site because it really isn't of benefit to the average poster. We need to give out advice that is practical and usable. I spent 5 years in college dealing with theory of structures, and assure you that trying to loosely educate most DIYers (and a lot of carpenters for that matter) is not going to accomplish anything but to frustrate them.
I do agree with the statement that the most reaction is occurring in the middle third of the span, and that sisters 2/3 of the length of the span will provide some benefit. The closer to the full length of the span the sisters are, the more effective they will be.
As long as the wood you added was as strong or stronger as the wood they used, and the glue you used was as strong as the wood they used, then you could have complete confidence that you had made the joist stronger regardless of whether or not you had the formal training to have confidence in what you'd done.
Similarily, the skating rink in my home town has huge laminated joists that hold up the roof. Those joists aren't made from a single piece of wood, but from 1X8's that have been glued together to make a 24 inch tall by 8 inch wide rafter that, along with the other such laminated beams, holds up the roof.
Imagine that we have a 2X12 in one corner, and we have a 2X10 with a 2 inch thick piece of wood glued to the bottom of it in the opposite corner...
And I stipulated only the two following conditions:
1. The wood we glued on has to be as strong or stronger than the wood the joist is made of, and
2. The glue bond between the new and old wood has to be as strong or stronger than the original wood.
Then we have a situation where what's been added is as strong or stronger than it would have been had we originally made a 2X12 instead.
How can you claim that what we've made is weaker than a 2X12?
It couldn't be. If the new wood is as strong or stronger than the original wood, and the glue holding it on is as strong or stronger than the original wood, what we've made is as strong or stronger than a 2X12 of that same original wood.
You may have seen lots of plans, but I graduated from mechanical engineering, and I can assure you that there is NO reason why you can't add 2 inches of wood to a 2X10 to make a composite beam that's equal or greater in strength to a 2X12.
Similarily, you can sandwich a 2X10 between steel plates and grow that 2X10 joist so that'll be much stronger than a 2X12, or even a 2X14 for that matter. Or, we could add steel to the bottom of the joist to make it stronger too. There is nothing significant about adding anything to the SIDE of anything. What's important is the coefficient of stiffness, which is the product EI, where E (the modulus of elasticity of the material) and I is it's Moment of Inertia, which is a function of it's shape. The stiffer the material, the greater the value of E, so steel has a much higher value for E than spruce of fir or oak or chipboard or walnut. I for a rectangular beam is given by the formula I = b*h^3/12 where b is the width of the beam and h is the height of the beam.
You can see for yourself that what you were saying about adding stuff to the side of a beam simply can't be true if you consider a 2X12. It can be equally well used as a springy diving board or a rigid floor joists depending on it's orientation. That's because by turning it 90 degrees, it's that 11 1/2 inch dimension that gets cubed, not the 1 1/2 inch dimension, and that results in a much higher value of I, and that results in a much stronger beam and less deflection.
All of this is the kind of stuff you learn in 2nd and 3rd year engineering, and the original poster would lose little time or money by simply phoning up any engineering or architectural consulting firm and asking about the feasibility of glueing wood to the bottom of a 2X10 to make a 2X12.
The fact that other people don't do it doesn't make the idea wrong, it only means people are reluctant to embrace new ideas. And that, my fellow termite, is nothing new.
What you're describing is the same principal that beam manufacturers use to make glued-laminated timber (glulams). 2x dimension lumber stacked and glued on top of each other. Yes, it works very well and they're very strong.
Glulam manufacturers use resorcinol glues that aren't available at the corner hardware store. They use heat. They use jointed faces that are perfectly flat. They use dried lumber. They use tens of thousands of pounds of pressure to make the laminations' connections. After much R&D, testing, 3rd party certifications, and investment, they can produce glulam beams that work.
When they need a deeper glulam than the one they have, they don't go out in the yard and add another 2x4 with some more glue and a bunch of clamps, and you can't do it on the jobsite either for the same reasons.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. But, there's nothing wrong with getting everyones' ideas out there for the poster to make his/her decision.
I agree that the manufacturers of glulam beams may have glues and machinery and techniques available to them that a homeowner wouldn't. However, it's not important that the wood be added in a high tech way.
All that is important is that the glue be as strong as the wood of the original joist, and with the new moisture cure polyurethane construction adhesives, like LePage's PL Premium, that is certainly do-able by a homeowner or contractor.
I agree that a comparison of resumes is about as useful in here as an insult hurling contest.
And, that the free exchange of ideas is the life blood of these forums. Knowledgable people arguing a technical matter is the ONLY way for newbies to learn enough about every aspect of the issue to walk away with a good enough grasp of the problem and solutions to form their own informed opinions.
I expect the only reason why strengthening beams by adding wood to the bottom of them is because VERY strong construction adhesives have only recently become available to the general public. I have no doubt that PL Premium would form a bond at least as any softwood, including pine and fir. I don't think PL Premium has been available for more than about 5 years now.

Hewitt slams slow surface
Page Tools
Lleyton Hewitt criticises the Melbourne Park court surface, linking it to the poor recent showing by local players in the Australian Open.
No Australian male has won his home grand slam championship since Mark Edmondson beat John Newcombe in the 1976 final, with Pat Cash the most recent finalist, in 1988.
Hewitt, the world No.3, said the home title drought could partly be because Australia's top players fared best on fast courts, whereas Melbourne Park's courts had slowed noticeably in recent years.
He said Australian tennis officials had not listened to his repeated urgings to install faster courts.
"At the end of the day it's their tournament, it's the Australian Open's business how they want the court," Hewitt said.
"But I know the US Open would definitely be going up to (US players) (Andy) Roddick and (Pete) Sampras and (Andre) Agassi and asking them what kind of surface they want and how quick they want it.
"At the end of the day, if one of those guys are in the semi or the final then it's making the USTA a hell of a lot of money."
Hewitt noted that Australia's best three players of the past decade - himself, retired former world No.1 Pat Rafter, and Mark Philippoussis - had all had their best results on slicker surfaces at Wimbledon and the US Open.
"Maybe the court surface has a little bit to do with that," Hewitt said.
Australia's second highest-ranked player, Wayne Arthurs (101), is also best suited to a fast court because of his booming serve.
Responding to Hewitt's criticisms, Australian Open tournament director Paul McNamee said while the Melbourne Park surface always had been slower than US Open venue Flushing Meadows, Hewitt was incorrect to say it had been getting slower from year to year.
"Since 2001 it's been the same or quicker," McNamee said.
He said company Rebound Ace, which surfaced the courts, had made them faster for the 2005 tournament.
"It's a very good surface, Rebound Ace has been able to tweak its surface a little this year and we're quite comfortable with it," McNamee said.
"Hopefully it will be less variable than in previous years with changing weather conditions."
Rafter was the last Australian to make a singles semi-final in Melbourne, in 2001.
No current Australian player has made it past the fourth round.
Hewitt said there were a variety of reasons the Australian Open was the only grand slam tournament in which he had yet to reach a quarter final.
He met a near-unstoppable Roger Federer in the fourth round this year, struck Morocco's Younes El Aynaoui in red-hot form last year, and was hit by a bout of chicken pox in 2002.
"Hopefully this year, who knows? I might make it into a quarter final then it all might open up," he said.
He was unfazed by the burden of a nation's expectations, with no other Australian man in the top 100.
"At the end of the day there's always going to be a lot of pressure, ever since I've probably started and especially since I've been at the top of the game, playing in your home grand slam, so there's not a whole lot I can do about that," he said.

Decker to offer healthcare research luncheons
January 31, 2012Tweet
Weight-loss surgery and the war on cancer are among the topics that will be examined this spring at the Decker School of Nursing's Kresge Center for Nursing Research "green bag luncheons."
The research luncheons will take place on seven Mondays this semester from noon-1 p.m. in AB-347.
"As a research university, it seems appropriate for the Kresge Center to have research seminars, lunches and presentations," said Ann Myers, interim director of the center. "(This semester), we have students, some of our faculty members, faculty from other departments and we have a former faculty member coming back."
The Kresge Center for Nursing Research's mission is to support the scientific inquiry and expansion of the knowledge base of nursing and healthcare. The lunch sessions started about five years ago, Myers said, as a way to back doctoral nursing students' efforts by "immersing them in an atmosphere rich in research and scholarship."
That atmosphere includes encouraging interdisciplinary research with faculty members, other universities and local healthcare agencies and facilities. While the target audience for the luncheons is doctoral nursing students, all faculty, students and community members are invited to attend, Myers said.
"There's always been a wonderful array of faculty from other departments," Myers said of the presenters. "And some outside speakers can offer a topic that we may not be able to provide locally. You'll see quite a variety of topics on our schedule."
The spring schedule is:
• Feb. 6: David L. Brown, professor and chair, Development Sociology, co-director, Community and Regional Development Institute, Cornell University, presents "Retirement destination in the countryside: Community development as a path dependent process."
"Our PhD program has had a focus on rural population," Myers said. "We are one of the few doctoral programs in the country to have a rural focus. That's important because half of the world's population lives in rural areas."
• Feb. 27: Kristen J. Eriksen, Health and Wellness adjunct faculty member in the Decker School of Nursing, presents "Lesbian-parent families: Perspectives of the non-birth mothers."
• March 12: Dr. William A Graber, MD, FACS, PC, Faston-St. Lukes Health Care, Utica, presents "Weight Loss Surgery."
"Bariatric surgery is relevant to all of us because of the health epidemic of obesity in this country," Myers said. "We're not saying this is the technique to use, but we want to explore it and look at some of the effects and raise some questions with him."
• March 26: Olympia Berger, doctoral student in the Decker School of Nursing, presents "The relationship between blood pressure and wandering in patients with dementia."
• April 16: Gerald Kutcher, history professor at Binghamton University and 2011 Guggenheim Fellow, presents "U.S. War on Cancer."
• April 30: Margaret Wells, assistant professor in the College of Nursing at SUNY Upstate Medical University, presents "Resilience in older adults living in rural, suburban, and urban areas."
• May 7: Linda L. Buettner, professor of therapeutic recreation/gerontology in the Department of Community and Therapeutic Recreation at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, and a former Binghamton University faculty member, presents "The emerging science of recreational therapy in collaboration with nursing in long term care (LTC)."
Invitations to Buettner's talk will likely be extended to local nursing-home directors and personnel, Myers said.
Each luncheon features a PowerPoint presentation with time at the end of the session for a Q&A and discussion, Myers said. Light refreshments are also served.
"It's 'green bag' because we are trying to go green and one of the colors at Binghamton University is green," she said. "So we put out some green lunch bags for people to bring their lunches in."
Myers said she hopes that the luncheons help students and faculty generate ideas for further research while discovering a "broad spectrum" of topics.
"We are fortunate to have these opportunities for sharing among faculty and students on the campus," she said. "Just come, have lunch with us, raise questions and find out what's going on in certain fields. I think each of the speakers will be very exciting."

LP Gas stove and two regulators..?
I have a LP gas stove range with oven in kitchen. I am changing the outside gas tank to a smaller size - just a 20lb tank as the stove is in a camp location and does not get used that much.
My 20lb tank has a QCC1 connection and I have a regulator for the tank. It then goes copper tubing inside to the stove. And I notice the stove has another regulator where the gas line connects.
Can I have two regulators in the gas line? One is at the tank and then one is at the stove itself?
Before I connect it it up I am wondering if this is a problem? Will the lowered pressure gas get through the second regulator?
Yes. Typically the bottle reg will drop pressure to about 1/2 psi max. The appliance regulator will drop the pressure further.
The reason there are two regulators is because you don't want bottle pressure in your house, but you need enough pressure to work it's way down the line. The appliance needs much lower pressure to mix air/fuel properly.
Cannot seem to get gas through the two regulators. My old bottle which was a 100 gallon bottle had no regulator. The stove does have a regulator. My new small 20lb bottle I can only get gas out with a QCC1 connection and I have two QCC1 connectors but both have regulators. One of my regulators is adjustable but even with it fully open no gas was getting into the stove burners. Could smell nothing either.
Is it possible there is not enough pressure to get gas through the second regulator on the stove? As I say previously there was no regulator on the bottle and now I have two regulators one at the bottle and one at the stove the short 12 foot copper tube line.
Also the line goes from 1/2" to 3/8" at the stove.
There did seem to be gas getting into the line past the first regulator as when I disconnected the line there was a release of gas from the line itself.
Do I simply have to get gas out of my bottle without a bottle regulator and just have the single regulator at the stove? (Can't try that at the moment as I have not the right connections.)
It's possible.
What is the pressure after the first? If there was no reg before you may need to remove or adjust the reg's. You will need to figure out pressures with a manometer to set up proper pressure.
Don't have pressure meter. I will try without a reg at the bottle. The stove regulator is under the range. When I lift the range up I find it. It has a nut and a finger tightening small knob. The flat nut is in the center of the regulator - looks fixed. And a small knob that has a thread and a small cap with gripping etches in it. This small knob is on top of the reg on the output side. Looks like it is supposed to be adjusted but it can't be moved by my fingers. Probably has not been moved in 20 years.
What do you think that small knob adjusts?
Shouldn't have 2 knobs. Should just have a single adjustment screw under a cap and a vent. Screwing the adjustment "in" or tightening will increase pressure, out will decrease pressure.
You certainly will need a manometer to correctly set up pressure. Incorrect combustion can cause carbon monoxide, soot, etc. Carbon monoxide is extremely dangerous in enclosed spaces.
Ok thanks for your help.
I eliminated the old and varied tubing and put 3/8 tubing. For testing I put the 20lb tank next to the stove and opened the tank regulator until the stove regulator passed gas and it lit and burn't good.
How do you know it burnt good? Was there two visible blue cones? Any yellow tipping? Was the flame lazy at all or searching for air?
Just because the flame is blue does not mean good flame. Just because there IS a flame does not mean good flame. There still can be carbon monoxide produced.

Hernandez retains title by unanimous decision
Photos: Zanfer Promotions
WBC jr flyweight weight champion Adrian "Confesor" Hernandez (26-2-1, 16 KOs) retained his title with a twelve round unanimous decision over Dirceu Cabarca (14-7, 67 KOs) on Saturday night before 2500+ at the Arena Agustin Millan in Toluca, Mexico. Scores were 118-110, 118-108, 119-112. Hernandez was in command the whole fight although he sustained a cut on the bridge of the nose and over his left eye due to headbutts.
Lightweight Luis "Vampiro" Arceo (26-11-4, 17 KOs) overcame a badly swollen eye to win a hard fought ten round unanimous decision over Ricardo "Pelon" Domínguez (37-9-2, 22 kos). Scores were 96-94 on all cards.
Zanfer flyweight prospect Felipe Salguero moved to 17-4-1 with 12 KOs when Javier Romano (8-17-1, 5 KOs) didn't come out for round five.

Last week, we told you about Dan Marino's overall greatness.
Arguably the most dominant and complete passer of all-time, Marino was ranked as the best player in the AFC during the 1980s by NFL.com, and fourth-best overall player in that decade. But with all the accolades and records that "Dan The Man" has racked up and accomplished over his 17 year career, it all started with a blistering rookie campaign that signaled a new era in Miami. In fact, it may have just been the best rookie season ever by a quarterback according to NFL.com.
In honor of this week's Rookie Symposium, NFL Media's Elliot Harrison compiled a photo essay ranking the best rookies of all-time. The top rookie quarterback in the history of the NFL? None other than Dan Marino.
Marino heads up our All-Time All-Rookie Team by virtue of his stellar performance in '83. After taking over in Week 6 for David Woodley, Marino led Miami to the playoffs and finished with the highest passer rating in the AFC (96.0 — extremely high for the era, particularly for a rookie). He threw 20 touchdown passes against just six interceptions.
Marino's rookie season was likely the best ever despite only starting nine games. In games he started, he put up a quarterback rating of over 100 five times, had a rating below 84.6 only once, went 7-2, and like Harrison mentioned, took Miami to the divisional round of the AFC postseason. His 96.0 passing rating was good for third in the NFL that season, behind NFL MVP Joe Theismann and two-time Pro Bowler Steve Bartkowski. Doing all of this at the age of 22, we should have known a lot more success awaited Marino after this terrific start to his career.
On the team, Marino joins other NFL legends such as Lawrence Taylor, Ronnie Lott, Mike Ditka, and Eric Dickerson. Harrison listed that Marino beat out the following players for the title: Sammy Baugh, Bob Waterfield, Otto Graham, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan, and Russell Wilson.

Did anyone actually think any different? Dan 'The Man" Marino, is the greatest of all time. PERIOD
QUOTE: Miami Herald
"Mike Pouncey; If the Dolphins do not believe he will be back before the bye, they might place him on the physically-unable-to-perform list, which would sideline him for the first six games."
The Miami Dolphins Offensive Line went from "Hey they suck" to "They really suck to no end". That means my 6 -10 prediction just dropped to 3 – 13.
But wait a minute. I heard that Knowshon Moreno is out for 5 weeks. My prediction drops even further down to 2 – 14 for the season.
QUOTE: Miami Herald:
"Running back Knowshon Moreno has been scheduled to undergo athroscopic surgery on his left knee and is out four to five weeks."
Yeah, It's just like a nightmare here in this website of dreams.. LOL LOL LOL 🙂
Roses are Red and Violets are Blue
It looks like the Dolphins will have a bad season
And so will YOU.
HAaaaaa LOL LOL.
Dan The Man Is The Best Of All Tine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan is first…there is no argument there but who had the 2nd best rookie season??
He carried the Dolphins to 2 super bowl games
Dan Marino, Is "simply the best, better than all the rest"! My grandchildren's room is full of Dan Marino memorabilia, and Dolphin memorabilia. I love my "Dan", and my Miami dolphins!
It was great seeing Dwight Stephenson at center, Marino firing dominantly controlled darts to the "Marks Bros" and Don Shula animated on the sideline. Those were the Days.
Reflect about the Dolphins' glorious past and "Dan the Man" by reading the book "Stark Contrast of the Miami Dolphins Owners and Coaches" by Keith Baker. It can be purchased on amazon.com or createspace,com/4038086
Just look at the throws he made! No wasted motion just zip it out of there!
I still remember Da's first outing was a preseason game against Dallas in dallas…I believe the score was 10-3 dallas of what had been an ugly offensive game by both teams…as I recall Shula put Dan in just before the end of the half and the dolphins had the ball at about our 40 yard line…there was great anticipation wondering what we had in the rookie out of Pitt ho had fallen to us in the draft. So Dan takes the field for his first ever NFL duty and Woosh, Woosh, run play, Woosh, run play, Woosh…TD…he marched right down the field with these amazing quick release passes like I had never seen…I was like wow we have something here….the dallas D which had looked so stout all of the sudden looked slow and flat footed.
I was at the Orange Bowl on his first game appearance and during warm-ups you could see the slow arcs of Woodley and Strock's balls and then a laser-rope of a throw from Danny, you could see there was something special right away. No other QB has come out of the gates guns blazing like him and all other including the great ones have struggle during their first years but not Danny.
