Even if you don't normally suffer from allergies in the springtime or summer, you may have experienced some allergic symptoms this year with the extremely high pollen counts we have been having.
Dr. Zorba Paster: Take action to prevent choking
We're used to making sure children don't get popcorn or peanuts if they're under age 4, but too many parents aren't educated as to the danger of grapes.
Sneezing: Experts warn pollen levels especially high this year
It's that time of year again: temperatures are rising, flowers are blooming and pollen allergy sufferers are miserable. And they should stock up on tissues and medication now, because experts are warning this season will be a bad one.
Feeling out of shape and fat? Here's how to fix that: Start walking.
Diana Nyad – the endurance athlete who, at age 64, swam from Cuba to Florida – has another big dream. It doesn't involve water, poisonous jellyfish or an exhausting 111-mile journey that took her 53 hours. Instead, it involves millions of feet, which Nyad wants to see stride across every state in America.
House Call: Tips for staying safe this summer
After an especially long and snowy winter, most of us here in Spokane are eagerly looking forward to all the outdoor activities summer has to offer. I know I am. To insure that we have not only a fun-filled season, but also one free of injury, I'd like to go over some tips.
Huntington's disease is going to kill him, but this Bellingham scientist is up to the fight
After Jeff Carroll got tested to see if he'd die prematurely from a hereditary disease that killed his mother and grandmother, a doctor unfolded the results, checked to see if Carroll still wanted them, then read them aloud. Carroll was 25 when he learned he had the rare gene mutation that causes Huntington's disease.
Carpal tunnel syndrome may require surgery
Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome usually starts with splinting, self-care measures and, if needed, a corticosteroid injection. If that provides only temporary relief, then surgery may be recommended.

Dr. Zorba Paster: Enjoy life and you may just live longer
Years ago I wrote a book "The Longevity Code: Your Personal Prescription for a Longer, Sweeter Life." The book and my PBS show "How to Live a Long, Sweet Life," stressed the fact that length and quality of life go hand in hand.
America's love-hate relationship with the fidget spinner: Is technology to blame for our restlessness?
You've probably seen the kid spinning a thing that looks like a miniature alien spaceship on his thumb and wondered what that was all about. Or maybe you've noticed a co-worker secretly fiddling with a cube with buttons on it under the conference table. These odd-shaped, oddly addictive objects – designed to let you channel extra energy into your fingers as you go about your day – are fidgets. And all of a sudden, it seems, they're everywhere.
Marijuana extract sharply cuts seizures in severe form of epilepsy
An oil derived from the marijuana plant sharply reduces violent seizures in young people suffering from a rare, severe form of epilepsy, according to a study published Wednesday that gives more hope to parents who have been clamoring for access to the medication. Cannabidiol cut the median number of monthly convulsive seizures from 12.4 to 5.9 in 52 children with Dravet syndrome who took the medication over a 14-week test period, according to research published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Fifty-six children using a placebo saw the number of seizures drop only from a median of 14.9 to 14.1 per month.
Experts measure food waste not in dollars or tons, but by the toll it takes on Americans' health
If all that lost food were put on people's plates, it would be enough to provide more than 190 million adults with 2,000 calories of energy every day, according to a new report in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
House call: You only have two eyes, so it pays to take care of them

The one piece of Michelle Obama's legacy that Trump can't wreck
There is apparently one piece of former first lady Michelle Obama's legacy that President Donald Trump cannot roll back: The food industry's sweeping embrace of healthier, more nutritious products. On Thursday, more than a dozen food companies, including candy maker Mars and convenience chain Cumberland Farms, announced new initiatives with Partnership for a Healthier America, a foundation that Obama chairs and helped found.
Dr. Zorba Paster: A potentially simple solution to stopping spread of an STD
When was the last time you read Teen Vogue? I doubt if many readers of my column have this magazine on their to-do reading list – unless, of course, you're looking for a Neiman Marcus top for a tidy sum of $1,150. I don't know if many kids in my small town read this or buy the stuff it advertises, but when I found it in the waiting room recently, I was intrigued enough to read it. It was more interesting than one of those dry medical journals that usually make up my lunchtime fare.

House call: Taking care of your ears
Sometimes illness affects your hearing. That muffled hearing sensation you sometimes get when you have a cold typically resolves itself as you get over the cold. It's from congestion in the eustachian tubes that move air from behind your nose to the middle ear.

In the Emotion, Health, and Psychophysiology Lab we study embodiment -- how the mind influences the body, and the reciprocal, how bodily changes influence thoughts, emotions, and intentions. For example, we study how emotions are experienced differently along the developmental trajectory, how aging influences risk perceptions and risk taking, how decisions are influenced by acute and chronic stress, and how people manage and attempt to control their racial biases and how those regulatory attempts often fail resulting in revealing greater racial bias.

Is there a way of locking particles in a specified direction? I want to run forces and collisions on a bunch of particles, but I want each particle to keep its creationtime z-axis position.
I was thinking of forcing it, probably something like my example below... but the results could be strange right? There is probably a much better way of doing this...
Add a initPositionPP attribute.
In the creation expression:
initPositionPP = worldPosition;
In the runtime expression:
vector $worldPosition = worldPosition;
vector $initPositionPP = initPositionPP;
float $posX = $worldPosition.x;
float $posY = $worldPosition.y;
float $posZ = $initPositionPP.z;
vector $newPosition = <<$posX, $posY, $posZ>>;
flockShape.position = $newPosition;
BTW, are runtime expressions executed after dynamics?

The Brunswick Community College baseball season ended Sunday after a 7-4 loss to Southeastern Community College in an NJCAA Division II regional in Martinsville, Va. The tourney is a qualifier to the NJCAA World Series.
BCC, seeded No. 2, opened the tourney Friday by routing College of Albemarle 14-0 in five innings. Brock Holmes was the winning pitcher, giving up two hits. He walked one and struck out three.
Brunswick County athletes won seven championships Saturday in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 3A East Track and Field Regional.
The event was a qualifier for the state meet Friday at N.C. A&T University.
In all, seven athletes will compete in 11 individual events and two West Brunswick relays will also compete.
West Brunswick junior Bradley Bell won the 400-meter run in 50.39 seconds. He was the only runner to finish the race quicker than 51 seconds.
SOUTH BOILING SPRINGS—The South Brunswick Cougars advanced to the second round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association Class 3A baseball playoffs Friday night by defeating South Johnston 2-1.
The pitching of Mark Price and the defense, most notably from shortstop Gary Williams, propelled the Cougars in their 2-1 victory.
Price, known to be a groundball-type pitcher, went the full seven innings for the Cougars, allowing seven hits and one run. He walked one and struck out three.
North Brunswick's Josh Kearney finished third in the N.C. High School Athletic Association Class 2A track and field championships Saturday at N.C. A&T University.
Kearney cleared 12 feet. Top-seeded Alex Lomax dominated the competition, winning the state championship with a vault of 14 feet. Teammate Jeese Poovey was second (13-0).
North had two other competitors.
LELAND—Two Croatan pitchers, one pitching with a knee injury and the other sidelined earlier in the year by a knee injury, held North Brunswick to two hits as Croatan beat the Scorpions 4-3 in the first round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 2A baseball playoffs Friday night.
North, the top 2A seed in the Waccamaw Conference, ends its season 16-5. Croatan entered the game 10-11 and seeded fifth from its conference.
They graduated 50 years ago, and they are old enough to have spent a year in the unheated, uninsulated Sunnyside School building before a new school was built.
Now, the Shallotte High School class of 1960 is planning to celebrate 50 years since graduation in a much more comfortable, renovated Sunnyside next month.
Beginning with a 6 p.m. social hour followed by dinner at 7 p.m., 36 classmates and their spouses will gather to reminisce June 5 at Sunnyside, beside Shallotte Middle School—the former location of Shallotte High School.
The West Brunswick High School football staff honored its top players during an awards banquet May 13 at West.
Thirteen players made either first- or second-team all-conference: Quan Bates, Maverick Pate, Bradley Bell, Dylan Bowman, Alfy Hill, Nick Napolitano, Jamyan Johnson, Brian Lewis, John Harmon, Will McKeithan, James Johnson, Corey Bell and Kendrick Morgan.
In addition, at least five have accepted college offers: Hill from Alabama, Bowman from Liberty, Napolitano from Wingate, Harmon from Western Carolina and Pate from Butte Community College.
With student-athletes who excelled in the classroom as well as on the field, West Brunswick has won the Wachovia Cup for the 2009-10 Waccamaw Conference sports season.
"This is the first time we have ever (won) it," West athletics director John Floyd said.
West won by two points, and Floyd said winning the cup was a goal he set for his coaches and the student-athletes at the start of the school year.
A fundraising night for the West Brunswick High School football team will take place during 5-9 p.m. May 20 at Planet Fun. Planet Fun and Starz Grille will donate a portion of the spending to the West football team. Those who buy a $10 gift card will receive a free $10 bonus game card. Starz Grille prices cut 20 percent during the fundraiser.
Emmanuel Outreach Church will have a youth gospel revival from 10 a.m.-3:30 Saturday May 15 at the church, 2360 Russtown Road, in the Grissettown-Longwood community.

AF compatible at f/8

Can someone explains the meaning of "The center focus point is compatible with AF at f/8" ? Why f/8 only (and not f/5.6, f/11, etc)?
It means a MINIMUM aperture of f/8. Certainly a larger aperture f/5.6, f/4 will work.
At smaller apertures like f/11, there simply is not enough light passing through the lens/aperture for the AF to operate
There might be enough light if the subject is well lighted, but there will not be enough angle difference in the light - light paths for the light coming through the periphery of aperture will be too close to light path of the light coming through the middle of aperture for the PDAF sensors to distinguish between the two.
I'm impressed by the knowledge, thanks for sharing it.

" Brand: Kettle "
As soon as you open this pack of Kettle crisps bakes, the aroma of the cheese and onion comes flooding out, inside is a ½ filled bag of small tubular shapes, which look exactly the same as Penne pasta. The texture on the outside is not as smooth though, and occasionally you will see little lumps where air bubbles have formed during baking.
Each crispy bake is a creamy colour and is coated in an orange powdery flavouring. This powder does come off easily as you pop each one into your mouth; this is not off-putting and actually enhances the flavours around your mouth.
The snacks themselves are very crunchy and crispy, you can taste the cheese flavour and the sweet onion flavour is mild, the two flavours complement each other well. They don't have that greasy taste either, which other crisps give you. As they are baked they are somewhat drier, but in a good way.
I have thoroughly enjoyed eating these, and have found them to be a nice change from ordinary crisps. This 24g bag is a great size for one, although you could share some around if you wanted. I felt that I had had sufficient without feeling stuffed, as I've been eating and writing at the same time I have been looking closely at what these bakes are made of, the more I read, the more I like! But also surprised, as these are actually made with lentil flour and potato starch, which means they are low in calories, (only 91kcal per bag) all the flavours and colours are natural and there is not a single E number or artificial anything in sight!!
Containing only 1.9g fat and 0.4g salt per bag, they are definitely better for you than standard crisps. I was very surprised as to how nice they tasted and even more so that they contained lentils, I would never have guessed if someone had just offered them to me.
Why don't you try a pack, you may be surprised too
Suitable for vegetarians
Contains Cows milk

Can you imagine what it would be like not to be able to eat snacks and crisps? Well that was a prospect that faced me a couple of years ago. Yes you could buy "light" crisps but they were too fatty for me and "healthy" snacks were either air or cardboard. So I was a bit stuck when it came to getting a convenient snack at times.
Then I happened to chance upon a packet of these Kettle Crispy Bakes in Mild Cheese and Sweet Onion flavour in the reduced section of our supermarket and seeing that they only had 1.9g of fat in per pack, I was quite eager to see what they tasted like.
I had a good read of the packet - these weren't made from maize or wheat - they were made from lentils (Oh no I'm turning into Neil on the Young Ones - I seem to live in lentils!). I was quite intrigued by this and opened the pack to quite a strong cheese smell which was stronger and sweeter (maybe this is from the sweet onion) than your Walkers Cheese and Onion and although slightly off putting to start with, mellowed down quite quickly.
So to the contents. Essentially you are faced with tubular shapes that look like fat penne pasta. They are a lovely golden colour and speckled with a yellow/orange powder which is obviously the flavouring. Does that sound appetising? Not sure but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The flavours are nicely balanced but strong - they are full of flavour and because it is a strong flavour the natural reaction would be to say artificial flavouring but you would be wrong - you are looking at natural ingredients including dried Double Gloucester Cheese (my home town cheese) which is of course has an orange hue (but is supplemented with the natural colouring annatto), dried ordinary and red onion, paprika and dried garlic. They may not be to everyone's liking but I certainly like them!
The crispy base is made mainly from lentil flour. Texture wise they are crispy and a little crunchy (enough to annoy my husband!) - not wheat crunchie crunchy but neither do you feel like you are eating cardboard or air. They are not greasy - they are very dry to the touch but you will get the flavoured powder on your fingers. There is some substance in this snack and they are quite satisfying. You don't feel like rushing out for another pack straight afterwards and to be honest being quite strong flavoured I think it might be a bit too much!
They come in a foil packet like the one in the picture which is 24g and they are quite expensive at 45p a pack. I have only ever seen them in a multipack once but that was reduced so could not tell you the full price.
You can also get these Crispy Bakes in Tomato, Basil and Green Peppercorn and Salt and Malt Vinegar flavours. I have tried the Tomato, Basil and Green Peppercorn variety and it is quite unusual and strong. Fine for an occasional change but not my flavour of choice. I have yet to try the Salt and Vinegar flavour.
Nutrional, dietary and allergy information for this product is as follows:
Each pack has
Calories = 91

All in all these are a lovely alternative to traditional crisps and snacks and I would recommend them. I just wish they were more widely available, you could get them in multipacks and there were more flavours.
Fresh crisp taste without the additives, excess salt, fat or artificially flavoured shapes.

Chelsea 6-1 Nordsjaelland
- From the section Football
Chelsea suffered the indignity of becoming the first Champions League holders to fail to advance beyond the group stage despite thrashing Nordsjaelland at Stamford Bridge.
Interim manager Rafael Benitez's first win came in the most emphatic fashion - but Juventus's victory against Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine meant the Blues were out only seven months after claiming the crown against Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena.
That triumph in Germany seemed an age away at a subdued Stamford Bridge, the hosts' drop into the Europa League merely emphasising the decline in fortunes that recently claimed former manager Roberto Di Matteo.
The Danish minnows, bottom of the group and arriving in west London with just a point to their name, wasted an opportunity to take the lead when Nicolai Stokholm saw his penalty saved by Petr Cech, Eden Hazard suffering a similar fate seconds later as Jesper Hansen blocked his spot-kick.
A third penalty inside seven minutes saw David Luiz put Chelsea ahead and Fernando Torres added a second before half-time.
Joshua John pulled one back for Nordjaelland seconds after half-time but further goals from Gary Cahill, Torres, Juan Mata and Oscar emphasised the chasm in class.
Sadly for Chelsea and Benitez it was to no avail with their destiny out of their hands, a bitter disappointment so soon after the greatest night in the club's history. They will now head to contest Fifa's World Club Cup in Japan next week with their reign as European champions already over.
Benitez, still trying to win over the sceptics among Chelsea's fans, will contest both that and the Europa League fiercely but this is undoubtedly a bitter blow to a club desperate to build on that momentous night in Munich.
They ended on the same number of points as Shakhtar but the Ukraine side scored more goals at Stamford Bridge than Chelsea managed in the reverse fixture.
The Blues simply had to take care of business at Stamford Bridge and await news from the Donbass Arena in Donetsk. In the end, it was not good.
Benitez once again arrived in his technical area to a decidedly mixed reception and the subdued atmosphere inside the stadium was reflected in a low-key start.
Nordsjaelland were forced into an early change when Ivan Runje was carried off on a stretcher and replaced by Mikkel Beckmann.
For the hosts, Victor Moses was a lively figure and his cross from the right almost resulted in Chelsea's opener, Stokholm slicing the ball against his own crossbar.
Chelsea were shocked when Dutch referee Bas Nijhuis pointed to the spot after Anders Christiansen's shot appeared to strike Cahill on the arm outside the area but justice was done as Cech dived to his right to save Stokholm's penalty.
Within seconds, Chelsea had a penalty of their own when Beckmann blocked Cahill's header with his arm - but once again the goalkeeper was the victor as Hansen saved Hazard's effort.
The deadlock was finally broken six minutes before half-time with the third penalty award inside seven minutes. Patrick Mtiliga was harshly adjudged to have handled and this time Luiz assumed responsibility and made no mistake.
Torres had been desperate for a goal and it finally came on the stroke of half-time when he raced on to Moses's pass to score at the second time of asking.
Chelsea were surprised momentarily when John scrambled home in scrappy fashion 20 seconds after the restart - but it was a brief interruption into what was to become a procession.
Cahill restored Chelsea's two-goal advantage when he headed in from Mata's free-kick before Torres benefited from brilliant work by Hazard to turn in his second at the near post.
Mata was on target himself after Hansen saved his first effort and substitute Oscar ran clear to score the sixth with real composure.

Blair Tushaus thought he was done playing football — twice.
Arizona's walk-on tight end played three seasons at BYU, and was the Cougars' starting center in 2012 as a redshirt sophomore. He played out that season and then decided that was enough.
"It was a weird experience," Tushaus said. "I was grateful for it. At the end of the day, I just felt better leaving. They're LDS, I'm not, and I just wanted a normal college experience."
Tushaus talked to a couple of Division II schools about continuing his football career, but nothing came of it.
So the Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep product moved back to his hometown and moved on from football.
He enrolled at ASU as a student, but decided not to try out for the football team. He took classes, went to football games as a fan and hung out with his friends.
"It's weird being a spectator," Tushaus said. "I'd just be like, 'Wow, my career is done.'"
The 6-foot-2-inch Tushaus, who weighed as much as 290 pounds when he patrolled the offensive line for BYU, got down to 225 pounds. There was no reason to keep the extra weight, he said; his career was over.
But late in the fall semester, Tushaus started working out with members of the Sun Devils. Arizona State coaches were interested in adding him to the roster as a walk-on, but there was a catch — they wanted him to play center. If Tushaus was going to play again, he wanted to do it as a tight end.
"They wanted me to be a center, but gaining that weight again, I just didn't want to do it," Tushaus said. "It was a lot of wear on my knees."
So for the second time in less than a year, Tushaus thought his football career was over.
But after getting back in the weight room and getting in football shape, Tushaus realized how much he missed the game.
With one year of eligibility remaining, he wanted to find a new home. His mom, Marianne, informed Tushaus about the NCAA rule that allows transfers to play right away if they've graduated.
"She's the smart one in our family," Tushaus said smiling.
In order to graduate by the end of the 2013-14 school year, Tushaus had to take 29 credit hours in the spring at ASU. He did it, and was officially eligible to play at another program.
He had a previous relationship with UA tight ends coach Charlie Ragle, the former coach at Scottsdale Chaparral, and called him about walking on.
Ragle and Rich Rodriguez hosted Tushaus on an unofficial visit and offered him a spot as a preferred walk-on.
"To have this opportunity, I took it because I missed it," Tushaus said. "That year off really gave me the perspective that I needed to play again, whether it's special teams or scout team, I said 'let's do it.'"
He moved to Tucson in the summer and began his transition to tight end. He decided to pursue a masters degree in international security at the UA — since it isn't offered at ASU; part of the NCAA rule — and play football for one more year.
Eventually, Tushaus wants to coach high school football and work for his dad's financial services company. But this year, he'd like to be a meaningful contributor the Wildcats. It looks like that will happen.
Tight end Josh Kern battled an injury earlier in camp, opening up reps for Tushaus and freshman Trevor Wood. Tushaus has run with the first-team in practice, and will undoubtedly see the field in some role.
"He's going to play some tight end, he's going to play some special teams — almost all of them," Rodriguez said. "He's a tough, smart guy. I'm glad he's here."
So is Tushaus, who said he expects his role at tight end to be more of a blocker than a receiver.
"So many things happened the right way; it's remarkable," Tushaus said. "I think the guys in the locker room — I missed that the most. Two days ago, it hit me when we were doing something … after practice. We were all having fun, and it hit me, 'I'm having fun again.'
"It baffles me every day to think, 'Here I was a starter at center for BYU, and now I'm getting some pretty good reps at Arizona.' "

What Is Fracking?
If you've turned on a TV or read a newspaper in the past five years, you've probably heard of fracking. Oilmen love it, environmentalists hate it, but for better or worse it's transformed the United States' energy position and created a revolution in hydrocarbon extraction.
But what exactly is fracking? There are enough myths spread about fracking to fill a textbook, and understanding the process is key, whether you're an investor or just enjoy winning arguments against your friends. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing to use the full term, is the process of injecting fluids into an oil or gas well to create tiny fractures in the surrounding rock. After these cracks are created, sand or other proppants mixed in with the fracking fluid hold them open, allowing hydrocarbons to flow into the well.
The process has made it possible for oil and gas producers to exploit rock formations with low permeability that would otherwise be uneconomical to drill, drastically enhancing production in the U.S. Though the technology has existed since around 1950, only in the last decade has it made an impact, after producers began pairing it with horizontal drilling and exploring new applications in shale rock formations. Now, thanks to fracking, the U.S. is on the cusp of energy independence and is even debating crude oil exports, which have been banned since the 1970s. For other countries with large shale reserves, their own energy revolutions could be just around the corner.
Investing in Fracking
So how can investors get a piece of the action? The good news is that there a number of opportunities to invest in publicly traded companies throughout the fracking value chain. The most direct way is to invest in independent U.S. exploration and production companies, such as Chesapeake Energy or EOG Resources. This gives you direct exposure to production from shale plays, but could leave you vulnerable to changes in oil and gas prices, future production declines, and the high costs associated with finding, drilling, and operating wells.
Another way to play the fracking boom is to invest in oil and gas equipment and services companies – a "pick-and-shovel" investment. Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB), and Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI) are examples of firms that provide technology, equipment, and consulting in order to facilitate and increase production from shale. Similarly, buying proppant suppliers like Carbo Ceramics (NYSE: CRR) provides exposure to fracking without taking on all the risks of a producer.

Give Back a Smile
Susan Kauffman has a beautiful smile, but it wasn't always that way.   She says she endured decades of physical abuse growing up and later in life.  Â
"I had teeth missing in the bottom and the back that had been knocked out. I was in crisis, I thought the only hope for me was to have all of them pulled and have dentures," said Kauffman. Â
Instead, she credits dentist sam sadati with saving her smile.   Â
"She had a lot of teeth that were missing and I could tell it wasn't because of periodontal disease, I could tell it was because of a direct hit," said Dr. Sam Sadti of Give Back a Smile. Â Â Â
Dr. Sadati is one of more than 800 dentists around the country volunteering their services through the program. Â Â
"Many of them think that it's their fault and they are shy and timid and embarrassed," said Dr. Sadati.
Susan says he gave her more than a new smile. He restored her self-esteem.  Â
"When I was done, finished, and they gave me the mirror, I was just overjoyed. I'm crying. The staff is crying. It was a gift," she said.  Â

Mila Kunis Denies Relationship with Ashton Kutcher
After rumors started swirling that the two may be romantically linked, Mila Kunis confirmed that she is nothing more than friends with Ashton Kutcher.
In a report put out by Celebuzz on Monday (April 16), the "Friends with Benefits" starlet's rep confirmed the two were not seeing each other, saying, "They've been friends for years," adding, "They're not dating."
Originally, the media started buzzing yesterday when Kunis and the "Two and a Half Men" star were spotted grabbing a sushi dinner together out in Studio City, CA. However, the brunette beauty's spokesperson says that was anything but a romantic dinner, explaining, "they had dinner with a bunch of friends."
The romantic speculation comes just as the two had been pairing up together again for the anniversary special of their previous hit FOX television series, "That 70's Show."
The special, which will air on April 22, shows the cast reminiscing about their favorite and most memorable moments during their 8 years together.

Big sunglasses, good bars
Seminyak is the village immediately to the north of Legian with a reputation for all the pleasures in abundance to its south, but with a distinctly upmarket vibe. Here the sunglasses are bigger, the dresses designer and the drink of choice champagne.
Seminyak stretches from Jalan Double Six in the south and morphs into the villages of Kerobokan and Umalas somewhere north of the Petitenget temple.
Fashion designers flock to Seminyak in their hundreds and use this area to showcase their wares with little boutiques lining Jalan Raya Seminyak and Jalan Kayu Aya/Laksmana and Oberoi. Consequently, this increases the level of fashion awareness among the crowds that call this place home and you'll notice plenty of people attempting to uphold their image while slamming back cocktails at one of the many chic bars in town.
The beach here is simply an extension of the one further south in Kuta and Legian, but there are fewer patrolled areas for swimming and there are constant rumours circulating of the latest tourist to have drowned due to the treacherous waters. It's best to heed the warnings of the many signs along the beach to swim only been the flagged areas and ensure that a life guard is on duty in case you get into trouble.
The hotels in Seminyak represent some of the best in Indonesia with the likes of the Legian and Samaya showcasing just how well luxury accommodation can be done. At these sorts of places you can easily fork out in excess of US$500 per night — but these prices are bargain when compared to similarly priced rooms in the West. Despite the abundance of top end accommodation, it is possible to find cheaper digs located away from the beach but they are generally more expensive than what can be found in Kuta and Legian.
A big feature of the Seminyak scene is eating. Some truly amazing restaurants call Seminyak and more increasingly Kerobokan home. Eateries such as La Lucciola and Sarong are top notch while cafes such as Café Bali and The Tuckshop do fantastic coffees, cakes and lunches. The inner foodie in many people will delight at the options available here.
The main roads of Seminyak are Jalan Raya Seminyak, which is simply an extension of Jalan Legian further south and Jalan Kayu Aya, which houses a full range of boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Somewhat confusingly, Jalan Kayu Aya is also referred to as Jalan Laksmana and Jalan Oberoi. For the our purposes we use Jalan Laksmana from the junction with Jalan Raya Seminyak down to Seminyak Square, then Jalan Oberoi from there to Kudeta and the Oberoi Hotel and then Jalan Kayu Aya from there on to where it meets Jalan Pettitenget just after La Lucciola. It sounds confusing, but for all intents and purposes it is the one road and takes about 30 minutes to walk from end to end.
Outside of these roads, the area can feel like a bit of a rabbit warren as once tranquil ricefield laneways become sandwiched between the concrete walls of villas and upmarket hotels.
ATMs are available on Jalan Raya Seminyak and in some convenience stores located on Laksmana and Jalan Caplak Canduk. Internet cafes are predominantly located on Jalan Raya Seminyak, but free WiFi is widely available at the cafes on Jalan Laksmana. Medical emergencies are best treated at Sanglah hospital in Denpasar, though there is a small medical clinic on Jalan Laksmana.

A Minute With: "Captain America" Chris Evans
By Zorianna Kit
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - This Friday, actor Chris Evans is poised to become a household name when he takes on the role of Captain America in the Marvel Studio's feature film "Captain America: First Avenger."
Evans famously turned down the role several times before accepting the part of a skinny, bullied orphan during the 1940s named Steve Rogers who is transformed into the muscular Captain America thanks to a top secret serum developed by the government. He goes on to lead the U.S. Army in a fight to victory against the Nazis.
Evans, 30, sat down with Reuters to talk about his initial apprehension, why he went into therapy over it and what it felt like to put on the superhero's costume for the first time.
Q: Most actors would kill to play a superhero role, but you turned it down at first. Why?
A: "For me it was about a potential lifestyle change. I've been able to make films over the past 10 years but still maintain my anonymity. 'Captain America' could change that and if it did, I wouldn't have the opportunity to walk away if it rubbed me the wrong way because I made a commitment to six movies. That was scary."
Q: You made a similar commitment when you signed on to play the Human Torch in Marvel's "The Fantastic Four."
A: "Let's be real, the 'Fantastic Four' movies weren't that good. And I came out clean because there were four of us (Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd and Michael Chiklis). We shared the load so it wasn't just me. 'Captain America' lives or dies (on my shoulders). That's intimidating."
Q: When you accepted the role, you promptly went into therapy. Why? Continued...

We know what you're thinking, and yes, friends, it can be yours. This two-tone Chevrolet Corvette comes from Eagle, Idaho, a product of Z and M Customs in homage to the Corvette Stingray Concept that played the Autobot Sideswipe in the second Transformers film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. According to the seller, Arcturus401, Z and M only got nine of them out the door before General Motors expressed a lawyerly displeasure, and this is the only two-tone example among them.

Kentucky Derby: Who's hot, who's not for April 3
Lines of Battle, winner of the United Arab Emirates Derby, is one of three additions to this week's Derby Watch top 20. He earned 100 points toward the May 4 Kentucky Derby, guaranteeing a berth in the 20-horse field. The other newcomers are Mylute, who was second to Revolutionary in the Louisiana Derby, and Power Broker, a Grade 1 winner at 2 who will be making his first start of the year in the Santa Anita Derby this Saturday. All three are 30-1 on the Derby future line set by Mike Watchmaker, Daily Racing Form's national handicapper. Orb, who won the Florida Derby, is now 6-1 after being 8-1 a week ago. Revolutionary was cut to 8-1 from last week's 10-1. They are the second and third choices, respectively, behind Verrazano, who is scheduled to have his final Derby prep in the Wood Memorial on Saturday at Aqueduct.
Three horses were dropped from the list: Code West, Palace Malice, and last year's Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old male, Shanghai Bobby, who was removed from Derby consideration after finishing fifth in the Florida Derby. Code West was outrun in the Louisiana Derby. Palace Malice, who had a rough trip in the Louisiana Derby, will get one last shot to earn Derby points in the Blue Grass Stakes on April 13 at Keeneland. But, until then, others are adjudged more deserving of being in the top 20.
Super Ninety Nine just missed the cut this week, with Power Broker being preferred by the Derby Watch brain trust. Super Ninety Nine can get back on the list, however, if he rebounds with a strong performance in the Santa Anita Derby, which also features Tiz a Minister. At Aqueduct, Mr Palmer is among those who could leap into the list with a one-two finish in the Wood.
[ROAD TO THE KENTUCKY DERBY: Prep races, point standings, replays]
did i not read the name o'nell somewhere on this page? was he not the trainer who milkshaked his horses? tell me why he wasn't relieved of his duties? politics? stupidity?
hot cold irrelevant ....the question is who is good enough and will get the distance and then pray that it does not rain....right now in my opinion the big boys are hear the ghost,flashback,orb,itsmyluckyday.....the others all have questions including Revolutionary (who has he beaten..class)..oxbow (can he close the deal..will to win).. vyjack (just how will hold up in front of a large noisy crowd and has he been getting rudys special juice)..goldencents (can he relax or will he take off after the front running speed? can his jockey control him?)...verrezano..(has looked awesome but can his trainer have a top horse run well in the derby exept for super saver on a muddy track under calvin borel he has not. can this horse face a big field and get outside in time for his long stride to kick in,looked a little uncomfortable inside last .if johnny v rides it will be a big plus)...the others uncaptured is a big grinder who will need a pace meltdown...falling sky if he gets in will need to grow and improve and a wet track...Normandy invader as more excuses than should be allowed and reminds me of street life who would always arrive too late...lines of battle won a slow uae derby and would have to travel from Dubai as much as aiden Obrien is a great trainer it would take an incredible training feat even if he was good enough... dynamic sky will need improvement even though he has the right closing style ...the others I think are not serious contenders general Charlie beat nobody at sunland and super ninenty nine was badly exposed last time...fury kapcory is injured...Shanghai bobby was never a serious derby horsedistance limitations...others are turf or synthetics horses only...so there you have it the opinion of a guestimator just like everybody else.
Shanghai bobby was never a derby horse because of the distance limitations.even uncle mo who was probably a better horse was not a derby horse for the same reason..if they insisted on the derby trail it would just get harder and harder for this horse to finish on the board.now at 7 f to a mile hes good.
I like the First three Finishers of the LA Derby. Fl Only the Winner needs to go Don't like any of the Horses running in the SA Derby and I don't care Who wins..a Maiden may win it .. the Wood will be interesting if Vijack Crushes the Field even with Todd's horse in there the Spiral I don't like any of them
Now really guys all the horses coming out the BC BEHIND S/BOBBY HAVE REGRESSED! Lets get serious.
Lines of Battle should be around 65-1 on Derby Day.
how dumb to add Power Broker , yeah he's hot , gonna run last in first start of year
If you are going to be a handicapper you need to know this. Do not listen to others to give you a pick. Do it yourself, most of these experts pick horses on trainers, where they race at but actually know very littel about handicapping.
You guys are right it doesn't matter who's who on any list. Like one famous baseball player said "It ain't over till it's OVER" or like I say "It ain't over till the fat hose sings " As long as your in slots 1 threw 20 your in no matter what odds you have.

Kazushi is a strong and confident athlete, dedicating himself to getting better at what he does. The Chariot Social Link can be established with him after the player is successful in attending one of the three athletic teams, consisting of Kendo, Swimming or Track, in which Kazushi is the captain. Story The main character meets Kazushi.In all of the three athletic teams the main character joins, Kazushi is always the team captain and Yuko Nishiwaki the manager. Minato quickly becomes one of the better athletes in the team, and ends up as Kazushi's rival. But at some point of the season, Kazushi ends up hurting his knee during practice. Kazushi asks Minato to keep his knee injury a secret to the rest of the team. As the season goes by, Kazushi starts to miss practice often. Eventually, he reveals this problem to Minato; he's been keeping it a secret because he doesn't want the coach to put him on the disabled list. The reason for this is Kazushi's nephew, who was badly hurt in a car accident and requires serious rehabilitation and surgery. Kazushi wants to win the regionals for his nephew. He promised that if he wins, his nephew would agree to go through surgery so that he can quickly recover. But with his injured knee, Kazushi is pressured to hide it (besides Minato) from the rest of the team. Max Social Link Eventually, the whole team finds out about his knee, but they tell him that it's not a problem, and Kazushi should worry about rehabilitating his own knee instead of making it worse at regionals. Kazushi decides to have surgery on his knee and would have to give up regionals. But he promises Minato he will work hard to getting his knee better, and encourage his nephew to undergo surgery despite the pain and his failed promise.If the player is successful in maxing out the Chariot Social Link with Kazushi, the player can fuse the persona Thor, the god of thunder, in the Velvet Room.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Liberia's 167th Independence Anniversary Kicks Off with Investiture Ceremony; WHO-Liberia, (Late) Dr. Sam Mutooro Muhumuza, Health Workers Affected
by the Ebola Virus Disease Honored and Decorated
MONROVIA, July 25 (LINA)- The Liberian Government has conferred honors on 18 distinguished individuals, one of them posthumously, the World
Health Organization-Liberia and all the Health Workers affected by the Ebola virus ravaging the country, as the beginning of the somber
official celebrations of Liberia's 167th Independence Anniversary.
According to an Executive Mansion release, the Investiture Ceremony took place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' C. Cecil Dennis
Auditorium in the presence of high-ranking government officials, diplomats, well-wishers and family members of the honorees.
In brief remarks, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who is also Grand Master of the Orders of Distinction, paid homage to all of them who
had served their country diligently and selflessly.
The Liberian leader paid specific homage and honor to the late Dr. Sam Mutooro Muhumuza, a Ugandan national, and all the health workers
around the country who have made the ultimate sacrifice in saving
"To their families, loved ones, associates, we extend our heartfelt sympathy," she said, adding that Government will shortly reach out to
the families of the departed health workers to bring them comfort in
their times of trials and tribulations.
President Sirleaf expressed appreciation to all the health workers – doctors, nurses, para-medics – who continue to be of service to the
Liberian people in the midst of danger to themselves.
"We like to say to them how much we appreciate what they do to contribute to helping the country arrest the deadly Ebola disease."
The Liberian leader, again, appealed to all Liberians, especially those in the communities to know that the Ebola epidemic is real. "No
one is trying to put up an act or to fool them or think that someone has motives other than to protect them and to help them to save their
lives," she stressed, urging them to heed the warning and advice of
health workers.
Earlier, the Citation by the President on behalf of the Health Workers affected by Ebola virus disease read by the Chief of Protocol,
Republic of Liberia, Ambassador Rufus Neufville stated: "Our Nation seizes this occasion to pay a richly deserved tribute of love and
affection and respect to the memories of its devoted health practitioners who lost their lives in order to save other
Liberians…Certainly, by their sense of unquestionable display of loyalty and devotion to duty, the Health Workers have built temples of
honor and of virtue, of industry and of unselfishness, qualities which will have impact on the health services and the life of this Nation
To the late Dr. Sam Mutooru Muhumuza, another victim of the Ebola virus, the Citation by the President read: "…The finest moment of the
professional life of the deceased would be recorded when he undertook the assignment to Liberia, as a manifestation for the promotion of
international cooperation, to provide humanitarian service to the people of Liberia. It is in recognition of his collaborative and
selfless service to the Liberian people that the Government deeply shares a sense of sorrow with the Government and people of Uganda and
his family to whom he Liberian Nation is morally indebted. He would be remembered as a true international servant who exhibited competence
and intelligence at the highest echelon of his profession and distinction."
For the World Health Organization –Liberia, the Citation by the President considered the enormous contributions to the cause of
humanity, especially the people of Liberia in line with its global mission and the mandate of its Liberia Country office which is to
promote the attainment of the highest sustainable level of health by all people living in Liberia through close engagement and
collaboration with the government and other partners.
Responding later on behalf of the honorees, the former Liberian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Wesley Momo Johnson, expressed
thanks and appreciation to the Government for recognizing them in terms of the contributions they have made to Liberia. "It is
impossible to find words that can sufficiently express our appreciation to you, Madam President. We are humbled and exalted by this national recognition," the former Vice President of the National
Transitional Government of Liberia said, adding that they accept the award with a deep sense of humility.
He cautioned the present generation not to repeat the mistakes of the past that eventually brought the chaos and destruction upon the
Also making remarks, another honoree, Madam Catherine E. Johnson, Educator, Philanthropist and Entrepreneur, said they were proud to be
honored by the Grand Master of the Orders of Distinction. "We are proud because it shows that our services to our people and
country have been appreciated and well commended," the nonagenarian said, adding that the honor bestowed on them exemplified their
commitment and dedication to duty during their service to the Nation and people.
The granddaughter of Liberia's 11th President, Hilary Richard Wright Johnson urged young Liberians to love their country; do away with
deceit, backbiting, and undermining, noting that as Liberians there is a need to put the country first.
Those honored included two Nonagenarians – Madam Catherine E. Johnson and Madam Joanna Eva Coleman George – both of who were admitted into
the Star of Africa, with the Grade of Grand Band; and Madam Theresa Leigh Sherman, distinguished Educator and Administrator, admitted into
the Star of Africa, with the Grade of Grand Band.
Two other Nonagenarians – Distinguished Sanitary Engineer, Mr. William T. Bruce, Sr. and Priest and Educator, Very Rev. Emmanuel Wea Johnson

Ambassador Wesley Momo Johnson was also admitted into the Humane Order of African Redemption with the Grade of Knight Great Band.

Green chemistry company Segetis is starting 2010 armed with influx of cash from new investors and a new CEO.
According to their press release, which I received last night, Segetis was able to closed a $17.2m series B round of financing coming the Malaysian Life Sciences Capital Fund and co-managed by Burrill & Company. DSM Venturing also participated in the investment as well as Segetis' first major investor Khosla ventures.
Segetis, for those who haven't seen my previous post about them, started its new facility in Minneapolis last year that has the capability to produce up to 250,000 pounds/year of renewable-based chemicals and chemical building blocks such as L-ketals for potential applications like plasticizers, polyols, solvents, surfactants, adhesives, etc.
Now why would Malaysia be interested in Segetis, you might ask? Probably because Segetis uses glycerin as one of their raw materials, and glycerin can be produced largely as a co-product from biodiesel production or fatty acid production – and those use vegetable oil like palm oil.
Segetus said it will use their new funds to drive near-term commercialization of their levulinic ketal technology.
And speaking of new CEO, our ex-Cargill friend Jim Stoppert will now be ex-Segetis as well as he is expected to retire and be replaced by Atul Thakrar, who came from Boston-based specialty materials startup Soane Energy. He also held positions before Soane at Cytec Industries and Rohm and Haas.

What kind of router is it?
Hi all, I just started testing with BT3 and everything work fine. I'm testing different thing with my wireless network @ home. The only issue I have if when there is no data being transmitted because no one is connected on the AP what can I do so it goes faster?!?
I followed the video by -=Xploitz=- : Volume #1 "E-Z No Client WEP Cracking Tutorial"....
but still no go when no one is connected to the AP.
thx in advance,
If you on the other hand want to learn how to do this manually, and I personally encourage this method as you will gain much more knowledge about the actual process, feel free to post the steps you take along with all appropriate information and we will gladly take a look at them.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
here the steps I follow:
1. airmon-ng stop ath0
2. ifconfig wifi0 down
3. airmon-ng start wifi0
4. airodump-ng ath0 (to find wireless i want)
5. airodump-ng -c "channel of wireless" -w "name I want" --bssid "wireless mac" ath0
6. aireplay-ng -1 0 -a "wireless mac" -h "my mac" ath0
7. aireplay-ng -3 -b "wireless mac" -h "my mac" ath0
8. aircrack-ng -n 128 --bssid "wireless mac" filename-01.cap
now sometime when I'm at step #6 I get error saying: Sending Authentication Request (Open System) [ACK] and nothing else happen it doesnt says it was successfull.
also sometime at step #7 I dont receive any ARP requests and no ACKs so when I try to use aircrack-ng it doesnt do anything....
what can cause that and what can I do to generate ARPs & ACKs request?
thx all for you help,
thx for the info, I will follow the video and try the chop/chop attack.
will get back to you if I have any issue!!!!
you are probably not penetrating your own router dude.sending request (open system)comes when the router is far from Wireless NIC.use this command to Inject the packets.
iwconfig rausb0/wifi0/eth0/wlan0/ath0 mode monitor rate 1M
choose in between rausb0 or wifi0 or eth0 or ath0.depend on ure Wireless NIC.this will make possible to injection.
always remember that if AP is near then inject packet with speed of 54M(A/G Network) and if its far enough then inject with lower speed like 1-10M.and yes Xploitz tutorials are working 100% cause he tested it and launched them in video format.No clients mean you are connecting with a AP with no client connect to it and then trying to fakeauth with it and then performing ARP-Replay attack.once you will use it to penetrate your router you will see data in Airodump windows goes high like anything.countermeasure it
Disabling broadcast of SSID.
MAC Filtering
WPA2 along with Digital Certificate
small pool of DHCP whatever needed.
disable wireless on router if you are not going to use it.
everything when perfectly, I did write down all the steps and it's all fine now.
today I just received also my ALFA usb adapter I will try with that to see if I get better signal because with my build-in wireless i'm limited.
thx all for your help
i no this is old now but i have same problem cant get no data at all can someone help plz
