CANADA STOCKS-TSX dips with weaker technology; gold shares cushion losses
TORONTO Feb 5 (Reuters) - Canada's benchmark stock index dipped on Friday as a selloff in U.S. technology stocks spilled over to Canada's technology sector, but defensive names such as gold stocks helped cushion losses.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed down just 10.51 points, or 0.08 percent, at 12,763.99, after paring earlier losses. (Reporting by Fergal Smith, editing by G Crosse)

Jason Biggs and Wife Jenny Mollen Welcome First Child!
Adding a little one into the mix, Jason Biggs and his wife Jenny Mollen welcomed their first child together.
Making the announcement on Tuesday (February 18), Jenny posted a video via Instagram writing, "February 15th, 2014 3:00am #babybiggs." The clip features herself sitting in a car with a car seat in the back. She appears to be in labor and tells her hubby, "It hurts so bad."
Jenny and Jason welcomed a healthy baby boy into their lives. They have not released any information on their son's name.
The "American Pie" actor announced the news during an interview on "Chelsea Lately" in July. In response, Handler quipped, "[Your wife's] breasts look really engorged."
"Her breasts are very big these days," Biggs replied. "Would you like to know why? Cause I put a baby in her belly!" He pointed downwards and said, "It works!"
Congrats to the new parents!

But by Friday morning, Kennan, executive director of the NFLCA, had regained his equilibrium and motivation.
"We're doing the right thing," Kennan insisted to The Sports Xchange by phone. "It was the right thing when we filed the brief and it's the right thing now. ... No matter what some people might feel."
The NFLCA's executive director since 1999, Kennan was adamant the association does not have a dog in the lockout fight, despite having its offices located in those of the now-decertified NFLPA, but only wants its members to be able to return to work.
The amicus brief, filed May 25, contends that league coaches may be dealt irreparable harm by the lockout. It notes that a prolonged lockout will "inflict significant economic harm and career risks" on league coaches and "increase the likelihood that they will suffer failure they can neither avoid nor overcome." Prominent in the brief is that more than 60 coaches with two or fewer years of experience have lost their jobs in the past three years and that 40-45 percent of coaches change jobs every two-year period.
What it does not do, Kennan reiterated, is take a side in the labor fight.
"There is nothing in the brief," Kennan said, "that favors one side or the other. It's like the brief we filed in 1987, when there was a players' strike. We weren't for the players or the owners then, either. And we're not in this lockout."
In the past several days, representatives from the staffs of 10 franchises - Chicago, Dallas, Jacksonville, Houston, Kansas City, New Orleans, the New York Jets, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Washington - have tacitly disavowed the brief or the prior knowledge of its filing. Kennan said, however, that every coach was notified by e-mail that the brief, which does not mention a coach by name, would be filed.
Kennan diplomatically declined to address the notion that some staffs had perhaps been pressured by owners or other members of high-level management to publicly take issue with the brief. He did acknowledge that is was "strange" that none of the coaches who distanced themselves from the brief contact him directly about it, at least before publicly airing their perceived grievances with the media.
Said Kennan: "What I will say is this: When I took this job, a lot of guys said to me, 'You have to speak for us, because we can't speak up for ourselves.' Make of that what you will. I take the charge very, very, seriously."
Beyond conceding that he may have communicated poorly with some of the coaches and staffs, Kennan has been largely silent on the sudden turbulence surrounding the brief. But he likely will make a statement next week regarding it and some of the public criticisms that have been indicated. Until then, Kennan will speak with coaches and legal advisors and continue to monitor events of the lockout, including the Friday hearing in the 8th Circuit Court.
"Obviously, we have a vested interest," Kennan said. "We're not pro-this or pro-that; we're pro-football, that's all. And we want to get back on the field and see our guys get back to doing what they do best."

There is a false 'Bible Theory' going around that starts with the premise of three major races of human beings:
and these three races came from the three sons of Noah:
Specifically, according to this misguided theory:
Rejection of this theory - The theory above is a good example of eisegesis, or reading a specific agenda into the biblical text, and AFTB dismisses this theory as completely false. The hidden agenda in this case is racism, probably with the intent of advancing racial supremacy, an idea completely foreign to the Bible. Racism, that is, judging people on the basis of skin color and other superficial features, is rampant in today's society but forbidden by the Bible.
The opposite of eisegesis is exegesis, or letting the Bible speak for itself. For the remainder of this response, we will attempt some exegesis on the subject of race and racism.
The Bible groups people in many different ways. It freely speaks of groups of people that are separate and distinct from other groups. Dividing people into similar and contrasting groups is very natural and normal for human beings, and it is sanctioned by God by its appearance in scripture. Few people would argue the fact that mankind has strong tribal tendencies. However, the overarching principle in the Bible is that all men are created equal, as stated in America's Declaration of Independence, and as preached by the Apostle Paul in Acts:
Here are some examples of groups of people that appear in the Bible. Most groups have a group of exact opposites, as shown here. Which Bible groups are you in?
The Bible delineates these groups on the basis of nationality, blood lineage, everyday behavior, spiritual status before God, and other criteria, but never on the basis of race.
Skin color in the Bible - The word race is not mentioned in the Bible, although skin color is touched upon in a few passages. The boy David, who fought the giant Goliath and later become King of Israel, was a redhead, presumably with fair skin. David, like Moses, Jesus, Paul and the others, was an Israelite, that is, a descendant of a man named Israel who lived about 2000 BC. The Jews are the modern descendants of the Israelites, and they are of Caucasian race with light skin color. Getting technical for a moment, the Hebrew words in the Bible indicate white to reddish skin color for both David and Adam. In this verse:
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance. [1 Samuel 17:42, NASB]
The Philistine Goliath hated David because he was young, handsome, and had light skin. The word ruddy in the verse above translates the Hebrew word admoniy, which means reddish of hair or complexion. Admoniy comes from the Hebrew word Adam, i.e., the first man, who may have been fair as well, since Adam means to show blood (in the face), that is, flush or turn rosy. These subtle references to skin color are interesting, but some have used them to build doctrines of racial dominance which clearly violate the overarching biblical principle that all men are created equal (Acts 17:26 above).
There is no racism in the Bible - The following passage in Deuteronomy makes race and every other grouping of mankind of no consequence to God:
God regardeth not persons, that is, 'is never partial' nor taketh reward, or, 'is never to be bribed.' The Old Testament Jew, and by extension New Testament Christians and every person who would heed the Bible, is admonished to Love ye therefore the stranger, or to love those of every group outside his or her own group.
These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good. [Proverbs 24:21, NASB]
As always, the New Testament amplifies the Old Testament teachings. Apostles Peter and Paul both repeat the premise of Deuteronomy and Proverbs:
For there is no respect of persons with God. [Romans 2:11 and Acts 10:34, KJV]
Racism is not tolerated - Jesus says:
There is no room for racism or any type of discrimination in the Bible. The opposite of discrimination, that is, love for your neighbor, is promoted, and discrimination itself is explicitly condemned.
According to Revelation 7:9, there's no racism in heaven:
Genealogy is an important part of the Bible narrative, so it must be addressed when topics of race and racism arise in biblical discussions. Specifically, Genesis chapter 10, a passage usually called the Table of Nations, is most often used by interpreters who have racially oriented agendas. We refute such agendas by supplying two specific interpretations of Genesis 10 that, unlike racial interpretations, are fully supported by the entire Bible.
The Bible in Its Own Context - Of the 1189 chapters in Old and New Testaments, more than 99 percent of them present a single, central theme: the Jews. The remaining 1 percent of the chapters provide context (i.e., the background setting) for the central narrative, as follows:
Because race is related to human genetic variations that change with location, passages from the genealogical context are sometimes used to 'prove' that the Bible separates people into several races, which it does not, as shown in the section above. The well known Table of Nations maps genealogical lines to geographic locations, so this portion of scripture is very susceptible to exploitation by people with racist agendas.
The Table of Nations Sets the Geography - The map of the Middle East below shows how the descendants of Noah were scattered by God over the region. The map comes from an analysis of the Table of Nations. As I understand it, various archaeological evidences from recent times are underscoring the reliability and accuracy of this biblical passage.
The simplest interpretation of the Table of Nations is that it provides the geographic context for the Bible. The Bible is filled with wars, negotiations, alliances, struggles, sieges, and captivities between national Israel and its neighboring nations, and the Table of Nations sets the stage for these presentations. Specifically, the monotheistic (one God) descendants of Shem are flanked on both sides by polytheistic (many gods) descendants of Ham and Japheth.
Stretching of this simple geographic interpretation is necessary to make it fit racial agendas. The specific races known today, Black, White, Yellow and many more, span a far greater region than just the Middle East. They span, in fact, the entire planet. To 'prove' Bible support for racism, one must know the migration patterns of people from the Middle East outward to the rest of the globe. Scientists have studied such patterns and have come to various conclusions (an example appears on this Wikipedia page), but no such migratory patterns appear in the Bible.
Tim Osterholm has an exhaustive treatment of the subject at SoundChristian.com. This is the most thorough treatment we have seen online.
The Table of Nations Sets the Timing - A second, more subtle, explanation of the Table of Nations is the idea that it portrays national scenes both during Bible times and in the future end times. The Semitic peoples, descended from Shem, are present throughout history, while the descendants of Ham are prevalent during times of ancient Israel (about 2000 BC to 500 BC) and the descendants of Japheth are prevalent during future 'end times' of Bible prophecy. This is shown in the following graphic.
Jgirl's question is no doubt innocent. But it touches on a subject crucial to today's world situation. The mere idea that the Bible somehow identifies races and possibly tolerates racism is completely inflammatory and should be muted immediately. The Bible never mentions race, it explicitly states that all people are equal biologically and before God, and the Genesis Table of Nations passage, which is sometimes interpreted to foster racial ideologies, has at least two interpretations that are, unlike the racial interpretation, completely in line with the rest of Scripture.

The pin is missing.
The hole is 25mm (or perhaps an actual inch?)
The only pin I've found in a quick on-line browse is 25mm diameter and 200mm long - seems a tad too long to me? And will 25mm fit or will I find it just too snug?

Now mind you Im looking at politicans on the same ticket for the office of the President and Vice President. who do you think it will be, and If you have a dangerious politican to add to the list by all means do so.
Cuomo & Bloomburg
Cuomo & Clinton
Clinton & Bloomburg
kerry and Christie
kerry & Clinton
Bloomburg & Kerry
It dose not matter which canidate is running for what office, these are the dangerious combonations for 2016. Bloomburge will definatily run but for what office who knows, The funniest thing I find is that people fall for the Bullshit that they spew out of thier mouths like poisionious veniom. And not concerned about any fallout. these people can;t even manage the Cities or States that they run now!, And Im a betting man, And I guarentee that one or more of these second rate politicans ( MHO!) will and try and run. and attempt to ruin this country through inexperence & the greed for the ultamate power. And be prepaired for the long drawn out vote count, as in the Bush & Gore Election. So Pick your looser or introduce your own, Oh and let us not forget that a Kennedy has been talking about running for office, and he shouldn't even be considered, the Kennedy dynesty is over lets keep it that way!....Doc

Any one of those combinations can beat anyone our side can put up. It has been shown in the last several elections that over 50% of th e voters are too stoopid to live in a free society. That, couple with the media acting as a cheering section for the demise of the Republic, tells me we're phuqued.
You'll notice that in the last election, the American held his own in states that require true ID, where as the Prince of Nairobi swept the states that allow people to vote 6 times, vote while dead and vote while illegal. We hve to get the vote counting back in the states and away from Soros' company in Spain. We also have to pass ID laws in all states or my grandsons won't have a country to vote in..
And as for any thoughts about inexperience or second rate politicians, BULL, this trash knows exactly what they are doing.

Russian lawmaker wants to take children away from gay parents
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A member of Russian President Vladimir Putin's ruling party tabled a draft law on Thursday to take children away from homosexual parents, adding to a raft of measures that rights activists say are undermining gay rights.
The draft law, which follows legislation banning gay "propaganda", would add homosexuality to a list of conditions including drug and child abuse that can lead to parents being stripped of custody over their children.
The proposal highlights the more socially hardline course that Putin has charted in his third presidential term as he seeks to boost support among conservative voters.
"In the case when a parent has sexual contact with people of their own gender, the damage that can be inflicted on the psyche of a child is enormous," Alexei Zhuravlyov, the author of the draft, wrote in submitting it to the Russian parliament's lower house, or Duma.
He said that between 5 and 7 percent of people across Russia were of "non-traditional" sexual orientation and that at least a third of those had children.
It was not clear if Zhuravlyov's proposal had a strong chance of becoming law, but it follows other legislation signed by Putin that rights activists and Western governments say are discriminatory against homosexuals.
Homosexuality was decriminalized after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, but many Russians still view it as either an affliction that requires medical treatment or a crime deserving of prosecution.
Putin said this week that Russia's love for composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, who was homosexual, was proof that the country appreciated its gay population.
But gay activists say they are being turned into scapegoats for problems including low birth rates and an HIV/AIDS epidemic that is closely tied to drug use. Continued...

Motivation To Buy Mets TicketsJanuary 3, 2011
To purchase or not to purchase a Mets ticket plan? That is the question. Even though I probably will go to about 8-10 Mets games this year, I don't plan on committing to a Mets ticket plan. Watch the video below to hear why.
2 Responses to Motivation To Buy Mets Tickets
Your motivation makes sense. Unfortunately I am one of those people who isn't affected by team performance. I buy tickets to enjoy live major league baseball and like having my regular seats. Granted I buy one of the cheapest packs but I enjoy Mets baseball in any form. I understand why others may stay away but it's just not how I operate.
I still plan on going to Citi Field this summer because I too enjoy the game and I still want to see my team play. Like I said above I'll probably end up going to 8-10 games this summer but due to me being cautiously optimistic about 2011, I can't commit to a ticket plan because I just don't see how this team will be any better than they were in 2010. Too many IF's and that is the them for 2011 as far as I'm concern. IF Beltran is healthy, IF Bay returns to his old form, IF Reyes has a big year, IF Santana comes back healthy and on and on and on…

I'm trying to get into the video games, but most of my time is devoted to the TCG, so IDK how it's gonna go. If I get back into the games, I'll probably come back. Besides, most of the other TCG crew moved to Pokebeach as well. Any of my groups or games may be closed or they may be remade by anyone who wants to. I give full permission.

Prosecutors rule that two victims who shot attackers will not face any charges
TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER Aug 10, 2005
Richmond is armed and dangerous. And we're not just talking about the bad guys.
Since March, there have been at least three fatal shootings of armed suspects by armed victims. In at least two of those cases, Richmond prosecutors say it was in self-defense.
The Richmond commonwealth's attorney's office has concluded that the martial-arts instructor who fatally shot former NFL cornerback Mike Brim during a confrontation last April in South Richmond acted in self-defense.
Prosecutors have also decided that a pizza deliveryman acted in self-defense in March when he fatally shot a teen who attempted to rob him in the Hillside Court neighborhood, also in South Richmond.
Officials said they are awaiting toxicology reports before reaching a conclusion about the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy. Police said the boy attempted to rob a 47-year-old man with an unloaded rifle in the East End in June.
"It does appear to us in the commonwealth's attorney's office that a lot of people are armed with weapons," said Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Learned D. Barry, the city's top homicide prosecutor.
"And because of that, situations like these are becoming more and more prevalent."
Investigators said that Brim, 39, trailed Gary Miles to a house on Pineway Drive from his workplace at the American Karate Center on Huguenot Road on April 19.
A police investigation found that Brim, a former Virginia Union University standout who played eight seasons in the National Football League, opened fire on Miles, shooting at him several times and striking the instructor in one leg. Miles, who was also armed, returned fire, striking Brim in the torso, killing him.
"Based on the fact that the deceased followed Mr. Miles to the scene and fired at him first, we have no choice but to rule it self-defense," Barry said.
"There were multiple rounds from Mr. Brim's gun, and only one from Mr. Miles'."
Law-enforcement sources said they believe Brim's motivation for attacking Miles centered on a woman whom men both knew. The men also knew each other as their children played in the same local AAU basketball program.
In the pizza-delivery case on March 11, an investigation determined that a teenage boy approached the delivery man on the 1800 block of Southlawn Avenue with "a gun or what appeared to be a gun" with the intention to rob him, said Barry.
He said the delivery man fatally shot the teen in self-defense and then stayed at the scene and called police to tell them what had happened.
Prosecutors have not made a determination on the most recent case. On June 12, police said Rodvon Daymetric Brown, 14, attempted to rob a man sitting in a car at 24th Street and Fairmount Avenue with an unloaded .22 caliber rifle.
Brown, according to investigators, had duct-taped an ammunition clip from an assault-style rifle to the barrel of his gun to make it look more menacing. The man in the car responded by firing the .40-caliber handgun that he had in his vehicle, fatally wounding Brown.
"It is clear to us a robbery attempt was being made by an armed juvenile," Barry said. "We're waiting a little bit more for the toxicology to come back before we're sure that it's self-defense or not."
The fact that Brown's rifle was not loaded won't make a difference in the determination of whether he was shot in self-defense, according to officials.
"The victims have no clue if it is a real weapon or loaded weapon or not," Barry said. "And they have to protect themselves."

Thanks For Posting That!
"An article admitting that carry works!"
It sure does work for me too!
Overall - positive on balance.I'd have preferred tho if emphasis could have been given to a lot of criminals being armed and then something to effect that it is a good thing law abiding folks have a means to answer back."It does appear to us in the commonwealth's attorney's office that a lot of people are armed with weapons," said Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Learned D. Barry, the city's top homicide prosecutor.
"And because of that, situations like these are becoming more and more prevalent."
Compared to some garbage we see in print tho I'll take this one as one of the few that is sort of on our side, mostly.

sounds like the Commonwealth Attorney's office isn't too happy.
I hope all these guys got their weapons back.
Gun control is hitting what you aim at
Nice to hear this point being made. Might cut down on people thinking it's so awful that a criminal with an "unloaded" weapon came out on the short end of the stick.Originally Posted by Tom357
It's also good that the martial arts instructor wasn't hammered because he shot in self-defense instead of trying some empty-hand technique against a armed man. Sounds to me like there's some common sense running around Richmond!

Shuttle AV40R P4X266 Motherboard Review
First Impressions
When the board arrived, I could hardly wait to power it up and have a look at its features and drool over its performance. My existing Pentium III system utilised an Apollo Pro 266 chipset, also from VIA. I thought to myself "What would happen if I tried to switch the motherboard over?" Well, Windows XP Professional seemed to handle the job effortlessly. Until I started getting random crashes which became more and more frequent.
After slapping myself around the head and reformatting (which I should have done anyway), Windows XP went on without a problem. But the crashing started again. After exhausting all my options, I gave up and returned to the Windows 2000 Professional platform that I respect very well due to its stability. Installed Windows 2000, loaded all my usual applications, and no crashing! In fact, I am yet to have a single crash from this motherboard running Windows 2000 - most impressive!
Shuttle's AV40R, by and large, is a thoughtfully designed board. The only real complaint is the positioning of the floppy drive connector, down near the RAID ports. This can result in a bit of clutter at the bottom of the case, and when a hot-running Pentium 4 is present this is not desired. The other IDE connectors are well placed with plenty of room surrounding them. Shuttle has used the board space superbly, with a minimum of free PCB.
The P4X266 chipset dominates the board, and is cooled by a small cooling fan. This was an area of concern because after 5 minutes of operation, the fan failed. Fortunately I had a spare one lying around, which I replaced it with. The VT8233 Southbridge is used, which is rather well respected due to its solid performance and lack of "bugs" (ala 686B issue). The newer P4X266A chipset uses the VT8233A Southbridge which incorporates the new Ultra ATA/133 standard. With ATA/133 hard drives on the horizon, this is a good move by VIA.
As well as the standard 4-pin Auxiliary 12v power connector, the AV40R must also have a 6-pin connector plugged in as well; otherwise it will fail to boot. Not all power supplies have this, so be careful when choosing a Pentium 4 compatible unit. The board came with the Socket 478 retaining bracket, which is used to firmly hold the heatsink in place. The 3 DDR SDRAM slots are free of obstructions, and it is very easy to upgrade memory on the AV40R.
There are only 5 PCI slots, which is a bit of a pity as many people can find enough peripherals to fill 6 slots. The onboard Promise FastTrak 100 "Lite" goes somewhat to compensating for this. I tried changing my RAID-0 array over from the old motherboard to the AV40R, and it was detected flawlessly.

Low Calorie Diet
A general overview of the simplist way to lose weight.Top Rated Diets of 2017
When you are trying to lose weight, there are so many diets and weight loss plans to choose from. One of the tried and true methods that can be counted on again and again is the low calorie diet. A low calorie diet basically means that you lower the amount of calories you consume on a daily basis. For weight loss, you can simply lower the amount of calories you're eating, and incorporate some exercise to burn additional calories. This follows this simplest diet rules: calories in equals calories out.
A low calorie diet doesn't mean that you have to give in to bland and boring food. With the high rates of people trying to lose weight and get into shape, low fat and low calorie foods have come a long way. Many of your favorite recipes can be substituted with low calorie ingredients and still maintain their great flavor. Another key to a low calorie diet is controlling your portion sizes. Eating out has drastically distorted what many people view as a serving size of food.
Depending on how much weight you have to lose, it's important that you monitor your caloric intake. Typically a low calorie diet consists of 1500-1800 calories per day. For many, it's as simple as shaving 500 calories off of what they're currently consuming.
There is such a thing as being on a low calorie diet that goes too low. Consuming too few calories can force your body into starvation mode, which will cause you to store fat rather than burn it. It takes a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound and most doctors recommend you only lose one to two pounds per week to be considered at a healthy weight loss. Through incorporating some lower fat foods into your diet and adding exercise, this goal is completely attainable.
Within the first week or so of trying a low calorie diet, you might find that you lose a little more weight as your body adjusts to the new routine. Another very important aspect of a low calorie diet is drinking plenty of water.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Lose weight safely and at a healthy pace
- Continue eating some of your favorite foods in a healthier way
- With the proper portion control, can be used on a long-term basis
- One of the safest ways to lose weight
- Countless variety with the ability to choose your own foods and exercise plan
- Low calorie diets can improve life spans
- Works with restaurant foods as long as you research the calories beforehand
- Will produce results if used properly
- If not properly implemented, can consume too few calories
- Some initial side effects can occur due to the change what your body is used to such as diarrhea, fatigue or constipation
- Some may fail to count calories and eat as much as they want because something is low calorie
A very important part of a low calorie diet is what types of food you eat. Eating on a low calorie diet can be very simple. You simply cut the amount of calories that you eat each down to between 1500 and 1800 each day, or reduce your current consumption by 500 calories.
In order to be successful with a low calorie diet, it is important to track the calories you're eating and keep a food diary. One of the easiest ways to overshoot your calories is not being totally aware of exactly what you've eaten. Planning ahead for your meals can also help your success. If you know you are going out to eat, research the restaurant's menu. Find the best low calorie options so that you are not caught off guard when you get ready to order. A typical day of eating on a low calorie diet might include the following menu:
- Breakfast: 1 slice whole wheat bread, 2 tsp. peanut butter, 2 tsp. low-calorie jelly, ½ cup fruit juice
- Snack: fresh fruit
- Lunch: Subway 6" turkey breast sandwich, 1 small low-fat yogurt
- Snack: 1 oz. ham wrapped around a handful of carrot sticks
- Dinner: Chicken wrap made with a wheat tortilla, 2 oz. shredded chicken, ½ oz. low-fat cheese, 1 slice tomato, ½ tsp. dried herbs, and 1 cup of mixed green salad with 1 tbsp. low-fat dressing
- Snack: 4 oz. fruit cup with juice, or 1 cup fat free milk
It is imperative to read food labels to assess accurate calorie counts for specific portion sizes. A food scale and/or a calorie counting book, Web site or other media will be incredibly handy. Keeping a food journal, especially in the earlier weeks, will help you assess your current consumption and track your daily food and beverage intake and help you make reductions.
You'll also find that the more calorie-dense a food is, the further it will go. For instance, having a low-fat yogurt with fresh fruits and nuts has significantly less calories, and more nutrition, than a vanilla ice cream topped with fruit syrup and candy pieces.EXERCISE
Getting proper exercise while you are on a low-calorie diet has many benefits. Exercise has been proven to be the most effective way to lose weight when you combine it with healthy eating habits. Research has also shown that regular exercise can help prevent obesity related diseases like heart disease, stroke, reduce blood pressure, prevent and control type 2 diabetes, prevent back pain and prevent many forms of osteoporosis.
An advantage to implementing exercise with a low calorie diet is that you are in control of the exercises you do, and you're burning off calories consumed. There are really no limitations or required exercises. You are in complete control as long as you are doing something active.
Keep in mind that everything you do including breathing and sleeping involves burning calories, no matter how few. By increasing your activity, you'll be increasing the amount of calories that you burn. Some of the optional exercises you can do in conjunction with a low calorie diet are:
- 45 minutes of daily walking
- 45 minutes of daily bike riding
- 45 minutes of daily jogging
- 20-25 minutes of resistance training 3 days per week
- Golfing
- Playing basketball
- Swimming
- Yoga
- Gardening
Watching your health is important, and if you are overweight it's important to get that under control. Losing weight can help you extend your health and help prevent some serious diseases down the road. A low calorie diet along with exercise cannot only help you lose that extra weight, but also help you keep it off and extend your life.
You don't have to give up everything you ever loved about food, you just have to keep track of what you eat, cut back and get moving more. The low calorie diet with exercise is the method that many people have had the most success with. There are several other options out there to help you lose weight, but the low calorie diet is the oldest and safest method when used properly.Common Misspellings

User Feedback(Page 1 of 1, 1 total comments)
This has been a very successful and good way for me to lose weight. I have always been a big overeater and overindulger in what I would call the "finer things in life" ie., food! This diet is teaching me that I can feel full and satisfied on smaller portions and 'smarter' menu choices. This diet doesn't mean giving up all the 'good tasty' things, just understanding that there are other good tasty thing that will go further towards me looking more like a human instead of a human blob! I also added drinking at least 64 oz. of water a day, which really helps (believe it or not) with hunger cravings. However, like any diet if you do not really want to lose the weight and get in shape and don't actively take part in that plan IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!

Unseasonably mild temperatures and noticeable optimism for the coming year made for a well-received Atlantic City Pool and Spa Show.
The annual conference and expo, held Jan. 24-26 at the Atlantic City Convention Center and organized by the Northeast Spa & Pool Association, drew more than 11,100 attendees, including exhibitor staff, topping last year's figures; participation in the educational seminars approached pre-recession levels as well.
"I thought the show was fabulous," said Bob Blanda, show chairman and president of Mill Bergen Pool Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. "It just seems like everything clicked. The exhibitors were very happy and buzzing with the feeling that leads were good. People were doing business … and we had perfect weather."
As expected, the first two days saw heavy foot traffic, with crowds tapering off somewhat on the last. Still, spirits were high throughout.
"We love this show," said Joan Welden, vice president and co-owner of exhibitor Swim N Save Worldwide, based in South Pasadena, Fla. "We get excited buyers, not lookers."
According to show organizers, 420 firms displayed products this year, down 3.3 percent from last year's 434, but better than 2010, when 403 exhibited.
The educational program also grew, with 5,229 seats filled compared with last year's seminar attendance of about 4,700. Of the 73 courses offered, 15 had more than 100 students, with four exceeding 200.
"Normally, you have a handful over 100, and maybe one or two over 200," said Paulette Pitrak, NESPA's deputy executive director.
Reflecting the industry's swing toward service, maintenance and repair, organizers devoted a significant portion of the curriculum — 17 classes — to chemistry topics. Manufacturer-led courses on repair and maintenance of branded heaters also fared well, she added.
"It was very well done," said Joe Matassino, president of Olympic Pool Service in Wilmington, Del., of a seminar on heaters. "The way [the instructor] went about teaching it, the sequence from installation to troubleshooting, was easy to follow."
For the second straight year, classes overlapped into the exhibit schedule by 45 minutes, which curbed the visually impressive opening rush that traditionally follows the ribbon-cutting, but also made the crowds more manageable for exhibitors.

1. Re: Embedding/Bundling JRE in a commercial Java desktop applicationgimbal2 Jul 26, 2012 2:24 PM (in response to 827733)Yes it is allowed, as long as you don't alter the runtime beyond what is documented in the readme that you'll find in the runtime directory.
2. Re: Embedding/Bundling JRE in a commercial Java desktop application827733 Jul 26, 2012 2:55 PM (in response to gimbal2)Thanks for the quick response. I don't mind including the whole JRE folder with all its contents in our installer. Size of installer is not a concern for us. Just want to confirm we don't get into any legal issues by redistributing JRE with our application. Also, do we need to include anything from JRE BCL license agreement in our application license file? The reason for asking is now we are distributing JRE as a subfolder within our application and not asking the user to explicitly install it. Hence during installation user will only get our license agreement screen for acceptance and not Oracles BCL. Do we need to include anything from Oracles BCL in our license agreement?
3. Re: Embedding/Bundling JRE in a commercial Java desktop applicationgimbal2 Jul 26, 2012 3:17 PM (in response to 827733)I repeat: there is a readme in the runtime installation folder that documents redistribution.
As far as I know, keeping the license declarations in the JRE folder unaltered is enough. But I'm just a stranger in a forum, for legal stuff are you really going to take my word for it, or that of anyone else?

How Will Your Life Change Today?
Contributors speak about how their lives will change when the Supreme Court rules on the Affordable Health Care Act today.
John Brown is the vice president of Brown Furniture Company in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and was afraid premiums would go up if the individual mandate were struck down.
"What I'm concerned about is yet another uncertainty. I don't know if it's a direct correlation, but since the bill was enacted, we've seen the least amount of increases in our premiums that we've seen in a long time. If this [decision] comes down and it's another big change, it's more uncertainty," Brown says. The fact that his company's health premium increases have slowly made him "a believer" in the Act.
Renee Amoore, the founder of Amoore Group and Deputy Chair of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania, is against the individual mandate. As a registered nurse, she feels that care will suffer due to an increased number of patients. "It will be difficult for doctors to keep up with the amount of people coming in," Amoore says.
Kathie McClure is a trial lawyer from Atlanta Georgia, who has two adult children with pre-existing conditions. In March she slept on the pavement for four nights outside the Supreme Court for a chance to hear the oral arguments. "Currently, they are uninsurable in the private insurance market," McClure says. "There's no high-risk pool other than the Affordable Care Act high-risk pool, which will go away if the law is struck down. [My children] have a lot to gain here. Their future is at stake."
Dr. Hal Scherz is a urologist and professor at Emory University. He feels that the law was instituted with politics in mind, rather than policy. "As long as the Affordable Care Act is in place, it really changes the game as far as patients and doctors are concerned, and centralizes health care in the hands of people in Washington," the physician says. "The pretense that this was passed under, which was access and cost, really were not satisfied."

Police Shoot Driver Outside Capitol After Chase
WASHINGTON (AP) - A woman driving a black Infiniti with a young child inside tried to ram through a White House barricade Thursday, then led police on a chase toward the Capitol, where police shot and killed her, witnesses and officials said.
Tourists watched the shooting unfold on Constitution Avenue outside the Capitol as lawmakers inside debated how to end a government shutdown. Police quickly locked down the entire complex temporarily, and both houses of Congress went into recess.
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Tex., who said he was briefed by the Homeland Security Department, said the woman was killed. Asked if she was armed, he replied: "I don't think she was. There was no return fire."
Police described it as an isolated event and saw no indications of terrorism.
The pursuit began when a car with Connecticut plates sped onto the driveway leading to the White House, over a set of lowered barricades. When she couldn't get through a second barrier, she spun the car in the opposite direction, flipping a Secret Service officer over the hood of the car as she sped away, said B.J. Campbell, a visiting tourist from Portland, Ore.
A fleet of police and Secret Service cars chased the Infiniti toward Capitol Hill.
"The car was trying to get away. But it was going over the median and over the curb," said Matthew Coursen, who was on his way to a legislative office building when the Infiniti sped by him. "The car got boxed in and that's when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car."
Coursen watched the shooting from his cab window.
"I thought to myself, 'The car is getting blocked in. The car is going to surrender,'" he said. "Now the cop has his weapon out. The car kept trying to get away. Then he fired shots."
Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer said a child was taken from the car to a hospital but said he knew of no harm to the youngster. Tourist Edmund Ofori-Attah said the child appeared to be about 2 to 3 years old.
A police officer was injured in the traffic accident but Gainer said the injuries were not life threatening.
"We heard three, four, five pops," said Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who was walking from the Capitol to an office building across the street. Police ordered Casey and nearby tourists to crouch behind a car for protection, then hustled everyone into the Capitol.
"There were multiple shots fired and the air was filled with gunpowder," said Berin Szoka, whose office at a technology think tank overlooks the shooting scene.
The shooting comes two weeks after a mentally disturbed employee terrorized the Navy Yard with a shotgun, leaving 13 people dead including the gunman.
Before the disruption, lawmakers had been trying to find common ground to end a government shutdown. The House had just finished approving legislation aimed at partly lifting the government shutdown by paying National Guard and Reserve members.
U.S. Capitol Police on the plaza around the Capitol said they were working without pay as the result of the shutdown.

The most glaring and obvious flaw in Tottenham's summer transfer policy is that the club splashed out a ridiculous £110million, equating to seven signings, on players that had never plied their trade in the Premier League before.
Paulinho for example, purchased for £17million, had spent just two seasons of his career in Europe before joining the ranks at White Hart Lane, so it should be no surprise that the midfielder, along with several other of Spurs' summer 2013 signings are still struggling to adapt to the English game.
Likewise, Roberto Soldado has spent his entire career in La Liga, and bearing no particular height, strength, power or pace, is hardly what you'd call an ideal fit for the physical nature of the Premier League.
Perhaps in other top flights this wouldn't be such a prevailing issue, but the Premier League is the toughest, most athletic and most unique top tier in world football, and Tottenham's seven Premiership novices must feel like they've been thrown into the deep-end without a paddle.

Injured In A Slip And Fall?
Call A Woonsocket Slip And Fall Lawyer Today To Help You.
What Is The Value Of A Slip And Fall Case?
In a slip and fall case, the property owner can be held responsible for paying you for your losses. These losses usually include the following:
- Medical Bills
- Lost Salary
- Pain and Suffering
- Scarring (if applicable)
- Other losses
What Are Our Firm's Best Slip and Fall Settlements?
Our firm has a history of helping to get good results for these kinds of cases. We maintained joint responsibility with another lawyer to obtain a $300,000 settlement for a client, who slipped and fell while walking in an icy parking lot. Here are some of our other best settlements for slip and fall victims.
What Is The Legal Fee?
Our Woonsocket slip and fall lawyers charge a 1/3 fee, but we do not charge you unless we win your case and get you money.
What Is a Slip and Fall Case?
The term "slip and fall" can refer to many kinds of preventable injuries that occur at a property. They are usually referred to as slip and falls because the most common cases come from slipping and falling, but other cases can be less obvious, such as when a property owner failed to install a railing when it should have, which led to an injury.
Property owners are required by law to take certain steps to ensure that their properties are safe. Often, property owners do not even need to be aware of the dangerous condition in order to still be held responsible for it. Read more.
What If You Slipped and Fell at Someone Else's Home?
People will often not want to file a slip and fall lawsuit against someone they know, even if it happened at that person's own home. However, such a lawsuit is often the only way to receive full compensation for their injuries. Additionally, most homeowners have insurance that can pay for injuries. Read more.
Did You Slip and Fall At Work?
Slip and falls that happen at work can usually be covered by workers' compensation. However, if your injury was caused by a third party, such as if your work related injury was caused by a car accident or a sub-contractor, you may be able to file a slip and fall lawsuit against that third party. Read more.

I'm in politics, and this is a very interesting question.
Obviously, my job takes a lot of my spare time, and I'm just starting to see this chick and it helps that she enjoys some of the stuff I do. I'm a die-hard Repub, and every candidate I help or function I attend is for the party.
While I would not force it upon any chick I date to be that engulfed in the party politics, nor would I care if the chick I was dating was not interested and did not want to help, but it does help when a chick is interested about your place of employment and what you do and stuff like that!
It would be very very very hard for me to date a chick that was involved in dem politics as I am in Repub politics.
Don't know if that helps, but I hope it does!

HET Seminar-IAS-Amihay Hanany, Imperial College London, Hilbert Series for the Coulomb Branch of N=4 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in 3 Dimensions
This paper addresses a long standing problem - to identify the chiral ring and moduli space on the Coulomb branch of an N = 4 superconformal field theory in 2+1 dimensions. Previous techniques involved a computation of the metric on the moduli space and/or mirror symmetry. These methods are limited to sufficiently small moduli spaces, with enough symmetry or to Higgs branches of sufficiently small gauge theories. We introduce a simple formula for the Hilbert series of the Coulomb branch which applies to any good or ugly three-dimensional N = 4 gauge theory. The formula counts monopole operators which are dressed by classical operators -- the Casimir invariants of the residual gauge group that is left unbroken by the GNO magnetic charges. We apply our formula to several classes of gauge theories. Along the way we make various tests of mirror symmetry successfully comparing the Hilbert series of the Coulomb branch with the Hilbert series of the Higgs branch of the mirror theory.

Martin O'Neill has threatened to drop James McClean after the Sunderland winger's row with the Republic of Ireland manager, Giovanni Trapattoni.
O'Neill has already told the 23-year-old former Derry City winger that he has broken club rules by criticising Trapattoni on the social networking site Twitter after being left out of Ireland's opening World Cup qualifier, a victory over Kazakhstan.
McClean was forced to apologise to Trapattoni and the entire Irish squad for his abusive outburst, and faced his club manager yesterday to explain himself. He could be fined by the club, having previously been warned about his conduct on Twitter and Facebook.
He is also sweating on his place in the team to face Liverpool at the Stadium of Light tomorrow, with O'Neill's squad now containing greater flexibility after investments during the summer.
"He's been rather foolish and he has admitted it himself," O'Neill said. "He has taken himself off Twitter, he could have a situation with Facebook as well, and 14 other accounts. We will have to rectify it.
"We can have a joke about it, a laugh about it and think that that is OK, but he knows the rules and they were read to him. He was there that day. Some of his language is pretty poor and we will genuinely have to deal with it. Now it is getting a bit ridiculous.
"I hate to use the word role models because some players can do great things outside a football club and it never gets recognised. These players here at Sunderland do as much outside work as any players I know at a football club, but in this situation James has to learn to temper everything and really rein it in. He has to show some responsibility.
"James has been acting kind of strangely. It's good when a player wants to play and also wants to manage the team. He is rather young for that at the moment, and Mr Trapattoni has a couple of years and a couple of titles on him.
"James has got to learn. It's his choice of language, he can't be swearing on these things [social websites], he should have a wee bit more sense. He has to abide by the set of rules we have here, and if he is not playing on Saturday then you will realise."
McClean was bought by the former Sunderland manager Steve Bruce in summer last year for a fee of £350,000, signing a three-year contract when he moved to the Premier League from Derry. He had to wait until O'Neill's arrival at the Stadium of Light for his career in England to burst into life, though, and he ended the campaign having started 29 games in all competitions, scoring six goals.
That caught the eye of Trapattoni, who persuaded McClean to play for the Republic, rather than Northern Ireland, for whom he had already picked up seven Under-21 caps.

Letter To The Honorable Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary, U.S. Department Of Health And Human Services
Dear Secretary Sebelius,
We write today as members of Congress concerned with the distribution of the $490 million in contingency funds released through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) on January 20, and to urge that you release the remaining $100 million in Fiscal Year 2010 LIHEAP contingency funds to cold-weather states.
While we appreciate the degree to which your department attempted to address the needs of states experiencing high unemployment and unseasonably cold winters, it should not come at the expense of consumers in cold-weather states who are still struggling mightily this winter to stay warm. Heating costs in cold-weather states consume more of low-income consumer's income and rely disproportionately on price-volatile energy sources like home heating oil. According to the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Short-Term Energy Outlook released last month, home heating oil is the only winter heating source projected to rise in cost this winter. The EIA projects that the average Northeastern fuel oil household will spend nearly $2,000 in heating costs this winter.
Simply put, our constituents live in states that experience some of the hardest, coldest winters in the United States. According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) at the U.S. Department of Commerce, average temperatures in the Northeast were 10 to 15 degrees colder these past several months than in the Southeastern U.S. For low-income consumers in our states, winters often force many families to confront stark choices between heating their homes and feeding their families. In releasing LIHEAP contingency funds for Fiscal Year 2009, your department set aside $100 million to aid those states with low-income populations that rely heavily on heating oil to heat their residences. Given the projected rise in home heating oil expenditures this winter, we strongly believe that your department should follow that precedent again this year in releasing these remaining funds.
For these reasons, we hope you will utilize the remaining LIHEAP contingency funds to assist cold-weather states in aiding their low-income residents this winter. We appreciate your understanding of an issue that is so important to our individual states.

Structure and function of floating bubble nests of three armoured catfishes (Callichthyidae) in relation to the aquatic environment
- Jan H. A. Mol
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Armoured catfishes of the family Callichthyidae are represented in Suriname by 17 small-sized fishes of the well-known genus Corydoras (Nijssen 1970) and three larger food fishes of the genera Hoplosternum and Callichthys (Hoedeman 1952). The latter three species Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock 1828) Hoplosternum thoracatum (Cuvier and Valenciennes 1840) and Callichthys callichthys (Linnaeus 1758), are the most preferred and expensive food fishes of Suriname. They are the only fish species in the country protected by law in their main reproductive season (Rondeel 1965). Still, overfishing, human-induced habitat modifications and the introduction of the exotic Tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus present serious threats to the survival of these popular fishes. Especially H. littorale is in danger of local extinction, its distribution being confined to the more densely populated Coastal Plain (Mol in prep.). In 1987 the University of Suriname started a research programme on the three larger callichthyids with the ultimate aim of producing the fishes on a large scale, thus removing some of the pressure that now rests on the natural stocks (Mol in press).H. littorale also attracted considerable regional attention as food fish with an aquacultural potential (Lowe-McConnell 1984; Luquet et al 1989).

PANJWA'I DISTRICT, Afghanistan – The 2nd Afghan National Civil Order Patrol Special Weapons And Tactics Unit recently led an operation with Pathfinders of Company F, 2nd Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade to establish observation posts and blocking positions in support of a Task Force Tomahawk operation to clear villages in the Panjwa'i district.
During the operation, code named Tomahawk Tufaan, the 2nd ANCOP SWAT and Pathfinders were successful in preventing enemy forces from escaping the villages into the Registan Desert.
"The effectiveness of [our] partnership is directly tied to the relationships that have been built over the course of the deployment," said Cpt. Aryon Borries, Pathfinders commander, Company F, 2-6 Cavalry, 25th CAB. "We conducted all aspects of this mission together to include mission planning and rehearsals, patrol base operations, tactical decision making, and engagement with the populace."
The 2nd ANCOP SWAT and Pathfinders have been working together since early January when the 25th CAB deployed to Afghanistan.
Pfc. Devin McClain, a rifleman with the Pathfinders, explained that while their mission was to over watch the clearance of villages, they were able to achieve secondary effects.
"The ANCOP SWAT and Pathfinders were able to react to some of the suspicious activity that was observed," he said. "We were able to remove some illicit aid from the battlefield in support of TF Tomahawk, which is a good feeling."
The security team recovered 1,500 lbs of hashish, some radio controlled improvised explosive device making materials, and a 120mm mortar round from enemy possession during the operation.
McClain explained that the relationship between the 2nd ANCOP SWAT and the Pathfinders contributes to both teams overall effectiveness on the battlefield.
"They help us better understand how Afghan locals live and think which improves our cultural awareness," he said.
Borries backed up McClain's statement.
"The ISAF and ANSF soldiers respect the specific skills and knowledge that their counterpart brings to the fight, which fosters a willingness and desire for both units to conduct partnered operations," said Borries.
Joint operations in Afghanistan such as operation Tomahawk Tufaan have two word code names made of a combination of one English and one Arabic word. Operation Tomahawk Tufaan translates to Tomahawk Storm.
Task Force Tomahawk, who led the overall operation that the 2nd ANCOP SWAT and Pathfinders supported, secured more than 700 pounds of IED making materials and eradicated nine weapons and IED making cashes that included 107mm rockets, hashish, landmines, grenades and RPG rounds.

This week, Mayor's James and Reardon offer a newsmaker dissection of the top local stories.
Mayor Sly James
Kansas City, MO
Mayor Joe Reardon
Unified Govt. Wyandotte/KCK
PLUS…Ever wonder what's happening with a number of hot button development projects around our metro? Why do some never seem to get off the ground? We head from north to south to take a look at what's going on with the Business Journal's Krista Klaus and Dave Helling of the Kansas City Star.
We take you first to Wyandotte County where the Hollywood Casino is preparing to open. Then we head south to the site of the old Mission Mall to ask whatever happened to those plans to build a state-of-the-art aquarium there?
Then it's off to the site of another demolished mall. This time in Kansas City, MO. We reveal the latest plans for Bannister Mall. Is it about to become the latest battleground in the business border war between Kansas and Missouri? And then we move north to Crown Center where most of the retail development's landmark restaurants are shutting their doors for good.
GREAT show!!
I'm not a KCMO native but have lived here since 2000. I don't recall a time when we've seen such an attitude of creative thinking and the possibilities for growth coming from both KCK and KCMO mayors by working together. Also loved the last comment by Mayor James, "We need our own show!" Why not? It could generate some great energy and help keep people connected with ideas and steps being taken.

Injex is a revolutionary way of administering dental local anaesthetic without the use of a needle.
Injex is simple to use – one click and it's all over, there is no pain. The Injex cartridge is simply placed against the gums and the dentist presses the button.
Patients describe it like a little "flick" and within seconds the tooth is numb. The numbness is nowhere near as pronounced as a traditional dental needle and it wears off quicker.
For more information on Injex, please contact Railway St Dental on (07) 5531 2053 or email us direct
