Friday 12 October 2018
The longest night of my life
Today I raise it later, while watching television there were some reports disappearances, and even mangled animals found 2 people which were found as well, today only had classes at night, not I imagined it would be close to death several times, had a part- time in a restaurant, I felt curiously this concern for many days had disappeared and was replaced by an immense tranquility.
After work I went straight to college classes that were very boring day, ended late on Fridays, that day arrives late for class, so I had to stay in a seat in the last row, in the place clearly heard what was happening in the rest of the university, He sounded very faint shouts, people running and even heard a shot, but could not hear anything said the professor, just before time to leave I heard a scream from outside, but this time were strong, I think all heard it a few minutes after classes ended.
On leaving I started talking with my friend Tracy, we talked about studies and life in general, we reached the entrance to the first courtyard, half the way out of college, almost immediately saw a shadow coming to us, I realized that it was a woman my age or maybe a little older, it seemed strange to come over here because we had the last class of the day, gave no importance, we passed near the bathrooms, I bid farewell to Tracy and between, I admit that the place had a gloomy, at my watch I saw that marked 9:00 pm, opens been there about 5 minutes.
Upon leaving I saw a group of people piled up, I went to see what was the show, when what I saw was horrible, that girl he had seen before he was attacking Tracy, the worst is that nobody helped her, so I did I grip that hysterical and throw it aside, she looked like an animal wild, snarling, got up quickly, and came running to me, I became a one hand, and with another 2 master it, we did not know what to do with it, All that we thought was ll4evarla to the infirmary, to see if they could give some calming or something.
Tracy he was in shock, her best friend, Martha, offered to stay with her to calm down and then take it to your home, both lived in the same street, so it was the most viable option to stay with her, the others we left, the only ones left were Tracy, Martha and those 2 guys who took that crazy to the infirmary.
When I found out quickly I transport to get to my house, those Tracy images being attacked so wild that way were turning in my head over and over again, note that many people were glued to the window watching what was happening outside, we approached the general transport stop where people fell and others rose, honestly it was something ridiculous, because all got on and where they wanted, the place was as always packed vehicle after passing the place, someone said he was going down, honestly he never lacked the genius who stopped the vehicle a second later that moved, as was expected of a police officer approached me and began to reclaim the driver for causing a traffic jam, and worst of all is what always happened, we had all finished up, the vehicle was ready to go, and stop causing gridlock, but the police continued talking nonstop and even worse gridlock was caused.
This guy would not shut, still claiming, and was claiming, it seemed I was not going to ever end, meanwhile heard a man telling another as he was attacked by a stranger in the same way Tracy, when something horrible happened especially for that cop, an elderly woman approached running, and bit his neck, just he came a gush of blood splashing glass and heard her screams as the old woman bit him, the driver quickly he started his car and went as quickly as possible what place.
We were approaching a gas station, the driver stopped there and asked all alighting to refuel, around it was the University of accounting, there studying a friend from school, and like Fortunately we are at that moment, his name was Ephraim started talking, he noticed my desperation to leave that place so deserted, I I wonder what happened, told him the police, and Tracy, strangely he asked how it looked and was dressed like the girl who attacked Tracy.
No note well his appearance but he knew more or less how I was dressed, Ephraim put a horrified when I told her how she was dressed that girl, jogged toward my college, I could hardly catch him, and asked that happened, what the girl answered him that maybe it was his sister who had disappeared yesterday, remembered having heard something that morning, she did not know her sister was studying the same career I before realize the began to run again, I do not know why but before I I was running account after him, Ephraim had been one of my best school friends, so I felt compelled to help.
There were hardly any vehicles, so we went all the way on foot, I admit that arrives panting, I was not in good shape, we were facing the entrance, Ephraim looked more tired than me but apparently the possibility of find his sister kept very energetic, very enter I care as well ensure that Ephraim knew the way so wild which she attacked her sister Tracy.
Ephraim pulled a pair of surgical masks and told me to put one to ask because mee said his mother, who worked in a biochemical laboratory, you he had counted on an extreme outbreak of rabies, and had done very obviously the last days, which explained the amount of ambulances and patrols had seen yesterday.
He knew that rage was contagious for the exchange of fluid, so a chinstrap it would not be useful in this situation, we headed to the infirmary way before entering I saw a puddle of blood on the door, upon entering we saw a place I made a disaster, we saw the nurse lying on the floor, went to help her, but approach quickly jumped up and gave a loud howl, He then ran to us, we could avoid it, but not surrender, It looked like he wanted to bite, we went quickly closing the nursing door, strangely she tried not to turn the knob to open the door, just hit the glass again and again, to turn around saw Sister Ephraim along with one of the guys who had brought her here.
Both ran towards our direction, Ephraim tried to reason with her sister, but it was useless, while the other guy was trying to catch me, I hit him stronger than I could but it was useless, came towards me, grip and throw the ground, but I saw terrified as his back showed a lot of scratches, clothes He was made strips, and noticed a bite on the back of your head, before he was lifted grip and put it to the infirmary, I saw that Ephraim was trying to reason with her sister, she just grunted and tried catch him, take the opportunity to grab her and get her also to the nursing, Ephraim I try to open the door to talk to her but not him leave, was better than we fueros sooner there, saw that the door began to give way, I found it hard to convince Ephraim but I succeeded, we We headed for the exit, but before we left I heard a cry from more in.
We condescend to investigate what had been, while those three were banging on the door trying to get out, we got almost to the bottom of the place, when we find a group of beings trying to get into one of the baths university, not understanding that happening we get closer, we hid behind a wall, where we had a perfect view of what was going on, inside the bathroom was hidden one of the professors of the university, I seemed to recognize, was the most hated, even hated, and that almost do not hate anyone, I began to remember all the injustices that had us passed in their classes, as Ephraim did not know her, he wanted to help, but They were too many to do something, when you turned around and we He was issued a wrenching growl which left us trembling, he came to us, we were not able to move, it was like we were waiting our death, raced very unhappy, even if it were a old man.
He was about to reach us, our fear had dominated us when something I saved us, a dog pounced on that individual and began to attack him, not He understands why but apparently tried to protect this animal, by Unfortunately the poor animal could not do much, in seconds was She shattered by that unfortunate, but we had time to look for something to defend ourselves.
We found 2 glass bottles, started beating him repeatedly without success, until he took a blow to the head, was so strong that the bottle He shattered, and finally stayed perfectly still, fortunately others had not realized what had happened and were still trying He passed the gate that protected this teacher, we thought that if we could climb the balcony was above the bathrooms could lower a rope to save her, but had no idea how to get there was not much that I began to study here and still could not move easily through the infrastructure, but worth a try.
Apparently she would be safe as we reached there, the gate resisted quite well, we move away quietly from the place, Ephraim He began to insist that we left as soon as possible, or if not contagiaríamos us rage, it was obvious that this was not a simple rage, was sure after seeing how it was ripped apart this poor dog.
We were heading to the infirmary road, next door was a full tank of things, once there I felt a very big fear, the door of the infirmary It was open, and those 3 subjects who had disappeared locked, was They were likely anywhere, although Ephraim wanted to find her sister until he had understood it was not a good idea to approach it, the tank was almost always open because they also use it to collect the study material of different materials carried, usually a person is always in, but today the site I was locked up and no one seemed to be in or at least I think, luckily we found the key thrown away one meter of the door, not the We saw before because it was in the pool of blood that we saw a while.
We went in and took the longest rope had, got on the 2nd floor of building, both were moving cautiously we approached the office rector, when we saw someone out there, and Martha was one of 2 guys who took the sister of Ephraim to the infirmary, his name was Mauritius, Martha said we go to that office quickly note that only they were 2, so ask where it was Tracy.
Martha told us that when everyone had gone and left alone with Tracy, She showed him a bite on his right arm, Tracy said he did not want nobody knew anything because it would lead to the infirmary with that girl who had attacked shortly after he saw Mauricio come running, he continued with the story, when they took Grace's sister Ephraim, to the infirmary, she was very calm until she saw the nurse, began to squirm and screaming, it sounds weird they did not ask restrain her, released her and attacked nurse, both saw the show with terror, when Grace got up, with his mouth full of blood, it was more than sure that the nurse had died, Grace was preparing to attack them, but was dominated again, though I manage to bite one of them, before realizing the nurse got up and He bit one behind. Mauricio took a vaccine that was on the table and the You inject the nurse who fell to the ground, probably was some sedative or muscle relaxant, but there was another, having run out of options He jogged while Grace stayed with that poor boy although it was bleeding still alive.
When he met Martha and Tracy told them it was better to leave the place immediately, but they were met with a horde of them out, filled Tracy terror ran down the street, Martha wanted to go look, but Mauricio he dissuaded, he realized Tracy bite and knew what happened if one bites you.
Both hid in that office until we arrived, my clock showed almost 11:00 at night, seemed strange that my mother had I tried calling me asking where I was, so try to do it, but there was no sign, just as they gave me had worse problems than worry that a simple scolding from you.
Began to be heard growls from outside, but after a few minutes were replaced by human screams, it was horrible to hear so many people It screaming and suffering at the same time, there was no doubt that had more than a few creatures prowling the streets, I wondered how we got to this disaster, the day had been so quiet up to 2 hours, but there was time to start thinking about that, we needed to find some way out of here.
We review the principal's office completely but could not find anything that we prove useful, until we found a box with a lock below desk, whatever it was that had there should be very important, the box was made of metal, and had a super thick lock, the 4 expected what was there allowed us to escape.
As there was no time to open it carefully, we chose to destroy it, but more than we threw to the ground and golpeáramos not open, we try break the lock shock but no luck, so throw from the second floor to the ground with all the strength we had but nothing happened, there was no doubt that what was there would be extremely valuable, but we did not time to keep trying to open it.
As the tool magazine was down, we would take only what were in, we had lost all hope of trying to open that box, we needed to try to find a viable way to reach our respective homes alive, surely the main streets were It thronged with those things, because as each feeds on another and time between when you die and come back as one of them was minimal, each second they have more and more of them.
By taking the tools of the magazine found a map of the city, we draw a route approaching as possible to the homes of each one as it only meant death to go outside, we would go together all the time possible, unfortunately eventually come when the each should go it alone,
We took everything that we could, our inventory conformed tools, knives and sticks, was a bag full of weapons of combat, if Ephraim recall took an ax, a baseball bat Martha, Mauritius one giant hammer and a machete.
We had everything that could be considered useful, but before we left remembered that there was someone else who needed help, we headed to the bathroom to save that teacher who was trapped there, but when we arrived only we witnessed a horrible sight, we saw how it was being He shattered, as his intestines ended in the mouths of those things, but there was something strange, the gate was closed meeting, it did not seem to they had managed to break to go, they had apparently climbed it, that event changed everything, was no longer safe even stay behind doors and walls, because like the crossed.
It seemed they had not seen us alone so we left, we drove to the front door, going out there found that metal box, not the we had been able to break anything, but this time one of us brought a hammer huge, if not break with that, it will not break anything, Mauricio gave him a blow as hard as he could, and finally opened, and what was inside if we were surprised.
A revolver was inside that box along with 6 bullets apart from 6 was in the bedroom, as it was only one, Mauritius agreed that it stay as the would be first to break away and who should go longer Only through the streets.
He walked out the front door as quiet as possible, all the streets were deserted, we were completely terrified, continue for couple of blocks without any problem, we reached near the cinema Campos green, we saw a strange figure coming toward us, when was it close enough we realized that it was an officer police, when we approached told us that went no further that way, above there were several of those beings, suggested that it was a better idea hiding in the movies until dawn, but we did not seem to us so good idea, go to a dark place where no one knows you could find sounded like a totally stupid idea, we said no to that subject to the which he said, "whatever you want but do not come running here after" not We had given even 5 steps when we heard a scream from inside film, our suspicions were confirmed, something was waiting for us inside, but no matter had been decided by that subject in there.
The temperature dropped more every second, got closer to the street principal, there would be where Mauritius should continue on its own, is that It sounds very bad to say but was happy to leave, he did not give me good spine since he had met an hour ago, the clock showed almost half night, I saw my phone but still no sign, but not least it felt like if someone or something was following us, we reach the main road before we realize.
It was time to say goodbye to Mauritius, after saying goodbye to us we started again, we approached the mall galaxy, rare name for one so small, we stopped there for a moment, the place was it closed under seven keys so to speak, apparently no inside zombies but not worth trusted, we go forward, we find a passage full shops inside, go out there save us a long way, but the place was dark, I wondered if it was worth the risk, at the time Martha reached me a flashlight, with that pass out there would know if it was safe.
I made sure to turn on at low intensity, and what we saw was very horrible, bodies were mutilated by piles which were eaten more than those things, it was dozens of them, maybe there were 100 or perhaps more, probably a lot of people tried to take refuge in that place, did not have that would be cornered by both sides towards those things, We were receding slowly, without trying to get his attention, but the fate made a play against us, a police patrol passing by our back playing his siren blaring, obviously those beings They turned and saw us, they started running towards us great speed.
We try to escape as quickly as possible, back to the mall we spent a few minutes ago, our only out would go to avoid be eaten, there were some stones in the streets, trying to break the locks with that, it cost us work, but we did, unfortunately those things were already 10 meters from us, we tried to open the door but not worked, Ephraim launched 3 bottles of rum with burning rags on nozzle, a curtain of fire rose, some of those being tried pass but were burned instantly, that wall of fire protect us while we are trying to enter but was off and the door would not, We had barely managed to raise a few centimeters but something pulled her toward down, we realized that it was an electric door that was controlled from within, therefore never reach open, we were cornered by the creatures, the fire began to die down, I asked Ephraim where he learned to do something like that and he said he saw it on the movies.
We pray our prayers, but a few seconds before the fire turn off the door opened, we quickly began to close almost immediately, the moment it was closed we heard blows outside, these beings trying to enter but never would achieve, although we had a even greater problem, we were in complete darkness, and heard noises and grunts from inside, we only had Flashlight Martha and lighter than Efrain had used fire to turn those bottles, but we dared not light them to the attention of some unwanted company, we were caught between a rock and wall without apparent minguan out, we could not see anything.
The atmosphere was very creepy, surrounded by a tremendous darkness, Ephraim was apparently quiet, we rely on the wall, and began to move, we had not given even 10 steps when he began to hear steps from deeper, shortly after a shot was heard followed a plenty of grunts, we made every effort to not panic but It was useless, we were sure that this place was full of zombies.
Continue to move with the greatest caution possible, we knew we had zombies later, fortunately if we passed noiselessly not us would, as we were surrounded by total darkness, unfortunately that It meant we could also hit one of them, which would mean for those who happen to him if he is not for everyone.
Continue to move, we could not see each other, I expected follow him together, but there was no case to ask why we were not alone, we were so moving for several minutes, I heard a breath in my ear, I was about to betray me but I fear paralyzing term, and what has been it went.
Like a bomb all the lights came on at the same time, and our bad luck we found surrounded us by several of them, luckily we were next to a store with the door open, we quickly thereupon we closed bars, although there was a gap between the roof and grille, was too small for them, so we could not reach, or I thought so, from the crowd came a child, seemed to have like 4 or 5 years that image of his mouth spitting blood stayed in my mind, He began to climb the fence, passing through that little space, and jump from that height.
Though it were a child he moved like a wild beast, it was very fast and more we tried we could not hold him, shortly after the lights They extinguished, leaving again in complete darkness with a monster cannibal, a light entered through a small crack and I could see him take the darkness to get close and liquidate.
At the time when he fell down the lights returned, expected in that period of time or Martha or Ephraim have been bitten, but not me dared to ask, found a mirror in the store, pick him up and Ephraim door appeared, as there was no choice, we went out there, the door we led to a staircase leading to the top floor of that mall, Fortunately there was no mishap and reached up without any problem, but what we saw there was something we will never forget, since that Instead we saw Mauricio struggling with those things, it was amazing, liquid to Several himself, 3 cost us a lot of work away with one infant and he could with several of them, we saw him shoot that gun a few times, before we lost sight of what we heard something, "Hurry up," I do not know if we said to us or was with someone, she lost in between the streets, at that moment I knew that he had earned my respect.
We found a fire escape, seeing the street we realize that there was no threat, there is more house with lights, once all had down, we opted to ask to give us tonight acyl people of that neighborhood, but no matter who we asked all of us answered a resounding no, partly understood, almost no one would enter a stranger their house, but that surprised me even in this extreme situation could even give us a little help.
We continue our way through several streets he found everything quiet, We saw some dead in the area but were too busy eating the poor body of its victims, arrived with a late bar, had arrived time to say goodbye to another, Martha, we wish him well and continue on our way, now Ephraim and I were the only ones who continue walking together, while Martha was leaving I noticed that Ephraim was sad, maybe it was nothing or maybe it was another thing, though he could no longer be They not are carrying or 4 hours of being known.
Llagábamos very close to the gas station where I met that night Ephraim and knew that there would be where we ever leave, I was terrified that in a few minutes I should go my way on my own but seeing so many Mauricio fight zombies had inspired me, but not enough to erase the fear full, but for me the need to fight those things value, We were a block from the place looked like Ephraim was worse than I, his face showed great fear.
Once at the station, we find something horrible, the vehicle I was brought here a few hours ago was still standing in the same place, but there was no sign of passengers, seeing his fuel gauge note I had a full tank, a noise from the other side be heard vehicle, we come to see what it was, and what we found stumped, each and every one of the passengers who had come with me they were there, being devoured by 3 of those unfortunates, some of the poor victims were shot in the head, very well see one of those beings, I realized what had happened, I remembered that when I was in that Vehicle listen to a man talk about how he had been attacked in the same how Tracy was attacked, it was obvious that while the driver refueled fuel that subject had been transformed contagion to other 2 and between they ended up with everyone else.
Ephraim and I watched that show clearly, we came up with the idea taking the vehicle as it had a full tank, but the keys are not found in the cabin, at that moment I realized that the driver did not I was with the other victims, he would surely have escaped taking the keys, just move away as much as we could from that place, we were very near the University of accounting, Ephraim and I were separated, we We wish the best of luck to each other and each went his own way.
A few steps later was a bar, at that moment I remembered as Ephraim set fire to the ground using a bottle of whiskey, I did not seem bad idea take some bottles, I realized that I still had the flashlight Martha, I hoped not to need outside, turned on the light as dim possible, and I started looking for any sign of danger, finding nothing, take the rags with which the bartender clean the tables and the lace on the nozzle drinks with higher alcohol I could find. Check if the place could be something useful, but found nothing more than a lighter, I did not care, did what he wanted, 3 bottles and anything flammable to light them, I think they are called molotov bottles.
University accounting was just around the corner, in that time one step at full speed and turned in that direction vehicle, no I have no idea why but I stopped at this place, they began to be heard screams as if someone was calling someone else, I did not understand very well the name, but even I knew it was a complete nonsense to call a shouted person having living corpses out there.
I immediately checked the consequences of acting without thinking, a lot of that they left college and began circling the vehicle, seconds was completely covered by dozens of those beings, I saw everything attention, it seemed that the vehicle ran out of gas because he did not move, or maybe it was that so many zombies crowded around him had made it impossible it moved, the result of that event was evident.
I decided to turn around and go another way, there was nothing he could

Airbags don't even address the least of India's road safety issues
There have been extensive media reports, recently, about cars, like the Datsun GO and Maruti Swift sold in India and other models like the VW Polo, in the past. Almost all of these were certified unsafe because they did not have airbags and, therefore, failed the crash tests conducted. Whether these reports have impacted sales or improved safety is another issue.
What this has resulted in for sure, though, is a diktat that, from October 2015 all cars will be fitted with at least two airbags. Seen in isolation, this is a commendable step, long overdue and cannot be faulted. It is also probably the easiest way out, by saddling the consumer with added costs, which may not work anyway, unless the basic habit of wearing seatbelts is inculcated.
An airbag that activates itself, if the driver or passenger in the seat is not wearing a seatbelt, is more dangerous than a gun fired at close range. An airbag that activates itself due to an inherent fault is even more dangerous. An airbag that does not activate itself when required lulls people into a false sense of security. And an airbag, activated or not, is an additional expense which needs to be factored in with the realisation that disconnecting an airbag is as simple as removing a fuse, in many cases.
However, to avoid missing the woods for the trees, the fact remains that many other safety-related issues on Indian roads remain unresolved. Here is a list of a few of them and notes on why they are not going to be addressed in a cogent manner in the near future:
1) The biggest danger to all stakeholders on Indian roads has to be the vast variety of 'authorities', from the ministry downwards, who are involved in the truckloads of documentation that only increases their income, both dry and wet, and ability to breed corruption, while totally destroying whatever little headway road safety legislation tries to make. I have been visiting regional transport offices (RTOs) all over the country from 1974 onwards, when I first turned 18, and can confidently say that corruption has outgrown the cost of living in the intervening years. This, to be truthful, is the biggest reason for lack of safety on our roads.
2) The second biggest danger to road-users has to be the flawed system of road design, engineering, construction and implementation all over India. Barring exceptions like the roads built by the Border Roads Organisation and some specific new roads, pretty much every other kilometre of roads, highways, bridges and tarmacs in India adds to worsening road safety to a point where it is increasingly safer to use trains or airplanes.
3) The third element in the issue of lack of road safety has to be the people out on the roads, who are supposed to be keeping an eye on issues impacting road safety. Instead of ensuring that roads are safer, they are increasingly busy in checking whether motor vehicles are carrying valid PUC (pollution under control) certificates or insurance certificates—issues that can easily be checked using modern technology. In 40 years of driving, for example, I have yet to be checked even once for whether or not the brakes in my motor vehicle are working.
4) The fourth important factor is the lack of equity on our roads. Some road-users, especially people from those segments of society who are supposed to govern the country and keep it safe for citizens, are of the opinion that they are above the laws pertaining to road safety and are, therefore, exempted from any form of adherence to laws on the road.
This is also the segment which is growing the fastest and also driving the biggest cars on our roads, as well as getting away with murder.
I do not expect any of these real reasons for lack of road safety to be addressed in the near future. What I do foresee, however, is that the 'system', as we know it, will come down even harder on the middle-class; a whole new bunch of documents will need to be carried and displayed at every small barrier in town.
Roads in India will only be safer when they become an electoral issue impacting the swing. We are some distance away from that, for now.

The accused were booked following an order from the Sessions Court order which directed the ACB to probe the alleged irregularities in Slum Rehabilitation Authority -SRA project in suburban Bandra
Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has filed a first information report (FIR) against principle secretaries of the state's housing and woman and child development departments, HDIL Group chairman and the company's ten directors in connection with alleged irregularities in Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project in suburban Bandra.
The accused were booked following a Sessions Court order, which directed the ACB to probe the matter brought before it by a complainant.
The FIR was filed on Tuesday against Principle Secretary (Housing) Debashish Chakrabarty, Principal Secretary (Woman and Child Development) Ujjwal Uke, HDIL Group Chairman and the company's 10 directors.
They have been charged under relevant IPC sections including 166 (public servant disobeying law, with intent to cause injury to any person), 167 (public servant framing incorrect document with intent to cause injury), 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 465 (forgery), 467 (forgery of valuable security, will, etc), 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record), 409 (criminal breach of trust by public servant, or by banker, merchant or agent) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) and sections pertaining to the Prevention of Corruption Act.
According to ACB's Assistant Police Commissioner Rajesh Bagalkote, the complainant owned a commercial space at the Motilal Nehru Nagar in suburban Bandra.
The complainant alleged that the area had been redeveloped under SRA scheme by real estate and construction company HDIL in 2005-2006, but he was not allotted a shop after he was deliberately declared ineligible, police said.
"However, those who are ineligible were provided shops in the redeveloped area. It was also discovered that more than allotted area had been used for the redevelopment project. All these illegal activities were carried out allegedly in connivance with government officials, including Chakrabarty and Uke, who were executive officers in SRA. Various documents were allegedly forged for the purpose," Bagalkote said.
The victim approached the court following which Special Sessions Judge SV Ranpise ordered ACB to probe the complaint and take appropriate action against the persons concerned.
Following the court order, the FIR was registered against Chakrabarty, Uke, HDIL's Wadhwan, the then additional collector in suburbs, office-bearers of Motilal Nehru Nagar Cooperative Housing Society and 10 directors of the HDIL for their alleged role in the irregularities in allotment of the space.
Company's "interest free" financing hides important information from consumers
Bob's Discount Furniture needs to come clean about the "interest free" financing it heavily promotes to consumers before inviting them in commercials to "come on down."
Consumers are being set up to fail with minimum monthly payments that fall short of paying off the purchase in time and subsequent hidden interest charges that are not readily disclosed in the company's advertising of its so-called "gimmick-free" financing, a TINA.org investigation has found.
TINA.org has called on state officials to take action against these deceptive practices and the Department of Consumer Protection confirmed it has opened an investigation.
Chief among our findings:
Bob's fails to adequately disclose to consumers the need to make more than the minimum payment appearing on their monthly statements to pay off the balance in full within the required time period in order to avoid interest charges.
Bob's does not make clear to consumers that the interest will be back-charged from the date of purchase if they don't pay off their entire balance in time.
A high interest rate (27.99 percent) that's not readily apparent.
Complaints aplenty
TINA.org first started investigating Bob's financing last year after a reader alerted us to her experience with hidden interest charges. Since then, TINA.org has received several more complaints about the company's 6- and 12-month payment plans that are offered through Wells Fargo.
In response, TINA.org contacted Bob's again, but the Connecticut-based company, which has 58 stores in 11 states from Maine to Virginia, failed to take adequate measures to respond to readers' complaints that they had been left with a large bill for interest they never expected to have to pay.
When contacting Bob's about the issue this fall, John Sullivan, executive vice president and chief financial officer for the company, told TINA.org that all consumers at the point of purchase receive a flier that discloses the stipulation regarding the back-charged interest.
But our own first-hand research at three separate Bob's stores found that none of the staff handed out any such fliers.
The findings and Bob's insufficient response led TINA.org to file a complaint with Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen and Department of Consumer Protection Commissioner William Rubenstein requesting the state take action to end the company's deceptive practices.
'I would have paid in cash'
One Bob's customer, Amalio Salerno, who contacted TINA.org in November, said he was billed more than $600 in back-charged interest 12 months after a salesperson in the company's Newington store persuaded him to sign up for the financing plan.
Salerno said he was prepared to pay in cash for the furniture but the sales representative talked him into signing up for the monthly payment plan.
"They talked me into the financing crap," Salerno said. "If they would have said nothing about the financing, I would have paid in cash."
He said his unpaid balance at the time he received the statement containing the surprising $600 interest charge was only about $200.
Salerno said there was no indication whatsoever that he'd be back-charged from the date he purchased a living room set, bed and mattress, much less at a 27.99 percent interest rate — a figure TINA.org also found to be hidden from consumers.
'A gimmick in itself'
Salerno also said he didn't realize until about his fifth monthly statement that the amount listed was just a minimum payment and not the full amount he needed to make to pay off the entire account in time to avoid being saddled with back-charged interest.
"That was a gimmick in itself," Salerno said. "You think you pay the minimum and you're all set. They told me I had 12 months to pay it off; they said nothing about a minimum payment."
After he realized the minimum payments wouldn't pay off the purchase, Salerno said he increased his monthly payment and planned to pay off the balance in time. But the statement with the back-charged interest arrived less than 12 months after he received his first statement last December, Salerno said.
Salerno's experience was echoed by several other customers who contacted TINA.org.
Salerno said Bob's and Wells Fargo eventually agreed to split the $600 interest charge but only after he threatened to bring the issue to the attorney general.
Inside the showroom
This fall, TINA.org reporters visited three Bob's stores in Connecticut to investigate how the company's interest-free financing was presented to consumers. Our investigation corroborated consumer complaints that important terms and conditions of the financing were not adequately disclosed at the point of purchase.
In fact, there were large variations from store to store about the plans. The number, type and placement of signs about the plan differed from store to store and none readily revealed all the terms.
In Bob's Orange store, there were no signs about the plan on the main floor other than a small photo of a piggy bank that said, "KEEP YOUR MONEY IN YOUR PIGGY BANK…
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BOB'S INTEREST FREE FINANCE," with no explanation of what that entailed.
In the Niantic store, sales representatives wore tags on their lapels asking consumers to inquire about the gimmick-free financing plans, thus leaving it to the staff to adequately explain the details of the plans if consumers did inquire.
But a saleswoman in Orange who brought up financing as soon as TINA.org staff stepped in the store and started looking at furniture, said that not all sales representatives fill their customers in on all the details.
And salespeople at all three stores acknowledged the possibility that customers could be deceived. "You got to pay it out by 12 months or that's how they get you," a salesperson at the Bob's in Niantic told TINA.org reporters who posed as customers.
Stepping in
Bonnie Patten, executive director of TINA.org, called on state officials to take action.
"It is completely deceptive for Bob's to market its financing as gimmick- and interest-free without simultaneously explaining to customers all the ways in which consumers can be saddled with 28 percent interest from the time of purchase," Patten said.
If you feel the details of Bob's "interest-free" financing plan were not adequately disclosed, contact TINA.org here. Read more here about fine print.

What do cyber conflicts and the zombie apocalypse have in common? More than you might think.
If you allow me to reference a great zombie comic/tv-show, you���ll be see how the zombie apocalypse pattern can apply to cyber security conflicts, and why reactive decisions targeting cyber attackers are not nearly as clear cut as we���d like them to be.
Recently, several articles covered a ���choice��� made some companies to strike back at cyber attackers. I���m not talking about complex evasion, but actually acting against your adversary with an offensive cyber weapon of your own. While this strategy is very appealing at a visceral level, it���s actually very dangerous. More often than not, the machine or network of machines attacking you are _NOT_ your adversary, they are just proxies for your adversary. It���s quite likely that your ���attacker��� is actually another victim that has been made into a zombie/bot. Once you really think about this concept, it���s pretty obvious that there are a lot of reasons why firing back may not be such a great idea after all.
Do we have any The Walking Dead fans out there? What a great comic and TV series. In Season 2, the 7th episode is called ���Pretty Much Dead Already���. The plot in this episode is driven by two conflicting points of view: Rick���s point of view that all zombies (walkers) are bad and must be exterminated, and Hershel���s point of view that zombies are sick, and at some point, a cure will be found to return them to health. Therefore, they should not be exterminated.
It���s not a perfect analogy for offensive retaliation against cyber security attacks, but if you grant me some artistic freedom, I think you���ll agree there are striking parallels.
Launching an attack against a machine that is attacking you is confusing the symptom with the cause, and ultimately, may prove to be more of a distraction than an effective tactic. You can kill a lot of zombies, but just like on TV they just keep coming back.
A far better response is to contain them in a way that keeps them busy, freeing you to focus on your real objective: business continuity. So, just do what Hershel did in Pretty Much Dead Already and lock the zombies in the ���barn���. :smileyhappy:
Offensive action against the real target, not the ���zombie��� proxies, takes some serious cyber crime fighting skills. Last time I checked, most companies don���t have an international crime fighting unit.
If you really need to act against a malicious attacker, your best option is to bring in a specialist. Partner with an organization that specializes in the skills and resources necessary to battle international cyber threats. If you think you *might* need a cyber-gunslinger someday, make sure your security program includes the tools and processes necessary to collect the evidence these experts will need. Do this now, proactively, because once the zombies show up you will be too busy.
Ok, one last point. What if some malware turns one of your machines into a zombie? Are you prepared to destroy it, or have it destroyed by others, along with all the work you did last quarter?
That���s why retaliatory cyber attacks aren���t a great idea. The machine you destroy may well be your own.

Being the best basketball player on the planet must give LeBron James the ability to get away with comments that make him sound like a moron. When Shaq was traded to Phoenix for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks, both James and Cavaliers coach Mike Brown were pleased to see The Diesel join the Western Conference, but they were remiss that talented players were not coming to the East, especially to Cleveland. The Cavs have had their once promising season turn somewhat grim after injuries to Sasha Pavlovic and Anderson Varejao. The Cavs have been left depleted and lacking in firepower outside of James, especially with the streaky play of Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Larry Hughes. What LeBron needs to realize is that Cleveland isn't going to get another star player soon, and the East is better and deeper than last year.
For years the Western Conference has been better and deeper than the Easter Conference, almost on par with the difference between the American and National Leagues in baseball. The balance of power is shifting with Toronto and Orlando becoming legitimate threats instead of cellar dwellers. If memory serves me correctly one of the biggest free agent signings this off-season was the Magic signing Rashard Lewis, who played in the Western Conference. Also the team with the best record in basketball, the Boston Celtics, traded for two Western Conference All-Stars (Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett) and only had to give up one player that is even close to being a star (Al Jefferson). Even the trade of Shaq means more to the Suns than the Heat only because they can win a title with him. The Heat have the worst record in basketball and that is with Shaq out hurt and Dwyane Wade battling injuries. Shawn Marion is a 20 point 10 rebound player for 82 games a year while Shaq's numbers (15 points 8 rebounds) have been on the decline the last three years and is lucky to play in 2/3 of his teams' games. At this point Shaq's name is better than his game, and Marion is an All-Star caliber player. This deal is a steal for the East.
It would be tough to argue that the Cleveland Cavaliers aren't in rough shape, despite being the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. They are in strapped with the salary cap unless another team is willing to take on Larry Hughes's ridiculous contract (get Isiah Thomas on the phone). The team doesn't have a true point guard, Hughes plays the point as an out of position shooting guard. LeBron handles and distributes the ball the way Michael Jordan did in his prime, with the offense revolving around him. Zydrunas Ilgauskas is an All-Star center but his play has been sporadic and he is on the down slope of his career due to injuries. Drew Gooden is an average at best power forward and the backup guards are offensive minded without enough offense, defense, or playmaking ability. The Cavs have LeBron and whoever else decides to contribute on a given night. There isn't another playoff caliber team in the NBA that is so devoid of talent surrounding their top option.
How the Cavaliers are as good as they are remains a mystery. While you can't fault James for wanting a second fiddle, the Cavs continue to shoot themselves in the foot and end up unable to make a move that would be of any real long-term benefit. The Cavs are one solid player away from a title, but one injury away from being a middle of the road team without playoff hopes. A serious injury to LeBron and the Cavs are lottery bound. King James can complain all he wants, but unless the Cavs can find someone willing to play in Cleveland for pennies on the dollar than they will be a one man show not talented enough to win a title for the next several years.
Here are the quotes from LeBron according to ESPN
"Unbelievable," James said after practice Wednesday. "That's all I got. It's unbelievable."
When James was asked if being paired with Kidd, his teammate last summer on the U.S. national team, could win the Cavs their first championship, "Yeah," James said. "It's that easy."
"It helps," he said with a laugh. "It does help when you have guys on the team that are perennial All-Stars or can go out there and produce every night and you know what you're going to get."
"It can mess up the chemistry a little bit and it could take a little longer for them to fit in, maybe not," he said. "The reward is you get a good player. Like the Lakers, they got a guy [Gasol] who has averaged 20 [points] and 12 [rebounds] for his whole career. Last night, Kobe Bryant gets six points and the Lakers win by 15, that's the reward.

A study1 of nearly 2000 older adults has found that eating a Mediterranean diet was associated with less risk of developing mild cognitive impairment or of transitioning from MCI to Alzheimer's disease. The third with the highest scores for Mediterranean diet adherence had a 28% lower risk of developing MCI compared to the third with the lowest scores, and of those who already had MCI, those with the highest scores for Mediterranean diet adherence had a 48% less chance of developing Alzheimer's.
Another, similar-sized study2, has found that those who adhered more strongly to a Mediterranean-type diet had a 40% risk reduction, and those who were very physically active had a 33% risk reduction of Alzheimer's -- doing both gave people a 60% reduction.
A Mediterranean-type diet is typically characterized by high intake of fish, vegetables, legumes, fruits, cereals and monounsaturated fatty acids; relatively low intake of dairy products, meats and saturated fats; and moderate alcohol consumption. Most of these components have been independently associated with reduced dementia risk. Let's look at them one by one.
Fruit & vegetables
A very large study3 of older adults found that those who ate fruits and vegetables daily reduced their risk of dementia by 30% compared to those who didn't regularly eat fruits and vegetables. Another large, long-running epidemiological study4 found that those who drank three or more servings of fruit and vegetable juices per week had a 76% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than those who drank juice less than once a week. The benefit seemed greatest for those who carried the so-called "Alzheimer's gene".
This may not have anything to do with vitamin C. A five-year study5 involving nearly 3000 people has found that use of Vitamin C or E or both was not associated with a reduced risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's. However a study6 involving 4,740 elderly found the greatest reduction in both prevalence and incidence of Alzheimer's in those who used individual vitamin E and C supplements in combination. There was no significant benefit in these vitamins alone.
Of course, it is now well understood that taking vitamins as supplements is not the same as receiving them in food.
Two studies have come out in favor of a diet rich in foods containing vitamin E to help protect against Alzheimer's disease. One study7 involved 815 Chicago residents age 65 and older with no initial symptoms of mental decline, who were questioned about their eating habits and followed for an average of about four years. When factors like age and education were taken into account, those eating the most vitamin E-rich foods had a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's, provided they did not have the ApoE e4 allele. This was not true when vitamin E was taken as a supplement. The effect of vitamin C was not statistically significant.
The other study8 involved 5,395 people in the Netherlands age 55 and older who were followed for an average of six years. Those with high intakes of vitamins E and C were less likely to become afflicted with Alzheimer's, regardless of whether they had the gene variation. This association was most pronounced for current smokers.
So beneficial effects of these vitamins may depend on genetics, smoking history, and possibly other lifestyle factors. But there are other valuable compounds common in fruits & vegetables. Another class of antioxidant chemicals, polyphenols, are now suspected. Polyphenols generally exist primarily in the skins of fruits and vegetables and are particularly abundant in teas, juices and wines.
A cell study9 also found that quercetin (a flavonoid with greater antioxidant and anticancer properties than vitamin C) protects against cellular damage. Quercetin is particularly abundant in apples (mainly in the skin, and especially the red ones). Other good sources are onions, blueberries and cranberries.
Another cell study10 found that compounds in blackcurrants (anthocyanins as well as polyphenols) strongly protect neuronal cells against the effects of amyloid-beta. Boysenberries contain the same compounds, and those that are darker are likely to be more potent.
The inconsistent findings regarding vitamins C and E may also have to do with the presence of folates. Data from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging11 revealed that although those with higher intake of folates, vitamin E and vitamin B6 had a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's, statistical analysis showed it was only folate consumption that was significant. Those who had at least 400mcg of folates a day (the recommended daily allowance) had a 55% reduction in risk of developing Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, most people who reached that level did so by taking supplements, suggesting the difficulty of doing so through diet alone.
Folates are abundant in foods such as liver, kidneys, yeast, fruits (like bananas and oranges), leafy vegetables, whole-wheat bread, lima beans, eggs and milk; however, they are often destroyed by cooking or processing.
The benefits of folates probably has to do with its effect on homocysteine. A mouse study12 indicates that increased levels of homocysteine are produced by low intake of folate and B vitamins, and impair cognition through microvascular changes.
High levels of homocysteine are associated not only with deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folate, but also with smoking.
High levels of homocysteine were associated in one study13 with a more than five-fold increase in the risk for stroke, a nearly five-fold risk for vascular dementia, and almost triple the risk for Alzheimer's disease. Findings from the long-running Framingham study14 found people with elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood had nearly double the risk of later developing Alzheimer's disease.
Moreover, evidence from a study15 using genetically engineered mice suggests that increased levels of homocysteine in the brain cause damage to nerve cells in the hippocampus -- which can be repaired when there is an adequate amount of folate, but not when there is a deficiency.
Omega-3 oils & fish
One of the clearest findings in this area has been the benefits of regularly consuming omega-3 oils, fish oil, and fish. Several epidemiological studies have indicated that regularly eating fish (at least once a week) reduces risk of dementia. More recently, two very large studies have come out in support. One very large study3 of older adults found that those who regularly consumed omega-3 rich oils, such as canola oil, flaxseed oil and walnut oil, reduced their risk of dementia by 60% compared to people who did not regularly consume such oils. Additionally, those who ate fish at least once a week had a 40% lower risk of dementia -- but only if they did not carry ApoE4 gene.
Moreover, for those who didn't have the gene, regular use of omega-6 rich oils, but not omega-3 rich oils or fish, were twice as likely to develop dementia compared to those who didn't eat omega-6 rich oils (e.g., sunflower or grape seed oil).
The second study16 comes from the famous long-running Framingham Heart Study, which found that those with the highest levels of DHA (an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid found in relatively high concentrations in cold-water fish) had a 47% lower risk of developing dementia. Those with these levels tended to eat an average three fish servings a week, as well as an average of .18 grams of DHA a day. Those at lower levels ate markedly less fish.
There is also some suggestion that omega-3 oils might help slow the progression of dementia. A Swedish study17 found that, although fatty acids DHA and EPA didn't slow cognitive decline in those with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's, they did slow decline in those with very mild cognitive impairment (a frequent precursor of dementia). It's been suggested that anti-inflammatory effects are an important reason for the benefit, why might explain why benefits only occur in the very early stages, when levels of inflammation seem to be higher.
Similar results were more recently reported18 from a large 18-month trial. This one, however, suggested that genetic status might be a factor -- that those without the "Alzheimer's gene" ApoE4 might benefit even if impairment had progressed to mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's.
There are a number of reasons why DHA might help brains.
A study involving genetically engineered mice19 has found that a diet high in DHA dramatically slowed the progression of Alzheimer's by cutting the harmful brain plaques that mark the disease. An earlier study20 showed that DHA protected against damage to the synaptic areas where brain cells communicate and enabled mice to perform better on memory tests. More recent research21 has revealed that DHA increases the production of LR11, a protein that is found at reduced levels in Alzheimer's patients and which is known to destroy the protein that forms the plaques associated with the disease.
Food sources of omega-3 fatty acids include fish such as salmon, halibut, mackerel and sardines, as well as almonds, walnuts, soy, flaxseed, and DHA-enriched eggs. These fish have high levels of DHA because they consume DHA-rich algae. Because these fishes' oiliness makes them absorb more mercury, dioxin, PCP and other metals, a less risky yet more costly strategy is to consume fish oil or purified DHA supplements made from algae.
Possible benefits of wine, tea, and coffee
There have been a number of reports that moderate alcohol consumption (generally defined as 1 drink or less per day for women and 1-2 drinks or less per day for men) may help reduce your risk of developing dementia, and a 2008 review of 44 studies22 supported this conclusion.
However, given that alcohol has known negative effects on the brain, no one is recommending that non-drinkers take up the habit! All one can say is that there's no reason to alter your habits if you are a moderate drinker. On the other hand, if you drink more than this, you are probably best to knock it back to this level.
However, the evidence suggests that it is wine rather than alcohol in general that is beneficial for the brain. A large Danish study23 found that those who drank wine occasionally in the 1970s had a lower risk of developing dementia in the 1990s (when participants were 65 or older). However, occasional beer drinking was associated with an increased risk of developing dementia. But we cannot draw too hard & fast a conclusion from this, as eating habits were not investigated, and research suggests that wine drinkers may have better dietary habits than beer and liquor drinkers. Moreover, a very large study of older adults3, that found a significant effect of some dietary factors, found no effect of wine.
There are, however, some good reasons for believing regular drinking of red wine may help the aging brain. Red grapes contain several polyphenols that have been shown to significantly reduce cognitive deterioration in genetically engineered mice, by preventing the formation of amyloid beta. One of these is resveratrol; the others are catechin and epicatechin. Resveratrol was much vaunted when its effects were first discovered, but unfortunately it requires extremely high doses. The more recent discovery24 of the catechins is much more exciting, as they appear to be effective at much lower doses. The catechins are also abundant in tea and cocoa.
Tea, most particularly green tea, has also been found25 to inhibit the activity of enzymes associated with the development of Alzheimer's Disease. Green tea also obstructed the activity of beta-secretase.
These inhibitory properties were not found in coffee. However, a large, long-running Finnish study26 has found that those who were coffee drinkers at midlife had lower risk for dementia and Alzheimer's later in life compared to those drinking no or only little coffee midlife. The lowest risk was found among moderate coffee drinkers (drinking 3-5 cups of coffee/day).
Restricting your calories
There has been some talk that calorie-restricted diets might help prevent Alzheimer's. So far, the only indications have come from experiments with genetically engineered mice. While there have been a number of studies providing evidence that high cholesterol, obesity, and other cardiovascular risk factors increase the likelihood of Alzheimer's, it is decidedly premature to say whether calorie-restricted diets would benefit humans. Particularly since one of the early signs of Alzheimer's is weight loss. So it is certainly not recommended that people severely restrict their diets. More useful is removing certain food types (e.g., the "bad" oils; sugar -- there is some evidence that Alzheimer's may be a type of diabetes), and increasing consumption of others (fish, "good" oils, fruit & vegetables).
There may also be a genetic link. A four-year study27 of nearly 1000 older adults found that among those who carried the ApoE e4 gene, those who consumed the most calories had a 2.3 times greater chance of developing Alzheimer's compared to those who ate the fewest calories. But calories weren't a factor for those without the gene.
A study28 involving nearly 10,000 people who underwent health evaluations between 1964 and 1973 when they were between the ages of 40 and 45, has found that those with total cholesterol levels between 249 and 500 milligrams were one-and-a-half times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those people with cholesterol levels of less than 198 milligrams. People with total cholesterol levels of 221 to 248 milligrams were more than one-and-a-quarter times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. High cholesterol increased risk regardless of midlife diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking and late-life stroke.
A review29 of autopsy cases of patients over 40 years old found that high blood cholesterol levels were correlated with the presence of amyloid deposits in the brain in the youngest subjects (aged 40-55).
An analysis30 of data on 1037 older women who had participated in a clinical trial of hormone replacement therapy found that high cholesterol levels increase the risk of cognitive impairment.
A large-scale Finnish study31 following 1449 men and women over 21 years found that raised systolic blood pressure and high serum cholesterol concentration, particularly in combination, in midlife, increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease in later life. Raised diastolic blood pressure had no significant effect.
However, the long-running, large-scale Framingham Heart study32 found that, after adjustment for age, sex, APOE genotype, smoking, body mass index, coronary heart disease, and diabetes, there was no significant association between AD risk and cholesterol level.
Previous studies suggesting that fat may be involved in the development of dementia and Alzheimer's disease have been contradicted by a new study33 involving over 5,000 elderly people over a period of six years. The study found no correlation between fat and cholesterol intake and risk of dementia, and no evidence for a reduction in risk for those taking cholesterol lowering medication.
A cell study34 provides more understanding of why there might be a link between cholesterol and Alzheimer's disease. The study found that proteins which help control cholesterol levels in arterial walls were also present in neurons, and when the genes for these proteins were over-expressed, production of amyloid beta protein fell. The finding suggests a new approach to slowing Alzheimer's. The study also showed that the apoE protein is extremely good at regulating cholesterol removal from neurons — the gene for this protein is a well-known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's.
A large Swedish study35 has found that men with low insulin secretion capacity at age 50 were nearly one-and-a-half times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than men without insulin problems. The risk was strongest in those who didn't have the APOE4 gene. Another large study36 found that diabetes was related to a significantly higher risk of developing amnestic mild cognitive impairment in older seniors (average age 76), after controlling for other risk factors. And a large study37 of post-menopausal women (mean age 67 years) found that those with poor blood sugar control were four times more likely to develop MCI or dementia. Findings38 from the long-running Religious Orders Study also support a link between diabetes and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Evidence from a mouse study39 suggests that diabetes might increase risk because elevated blood glucose levels interact with beta amyloid in a way damaging to blood vessels in the brain.
In fact it has been suggested that Alzheimer's could be considered a third form of diabetes. Another study40 provides evidence that amyloid oligomers remove insulin receptors from nerve cells, rendering those neurons insulin resistant. Another mouse study41 suggests that low levels of insulysin, an enzyme that degrades insulin, are a factor. The enzyme, it seems, also degrades amyloid-beta peptides, and even a partial decrease in insulysin activity was found to raise amyloid-beta peptide levels in the brain.
A review42 of 10 international studies published since 1995, covering just over 37,000 people, has found that obesity increased the relative risk of dementia by an average of 42% compared with normal weight. Being underweight increased the risk by 36%. For Alzheimer's Disease and vascular dementia, specifically, obesity was an even more significant risk: 80% and 73%, respectively. With regards to Alzheimer's, obesity was more likely to be a risk factor for women, but men were more affected when it came to vascular dementia.
A very large study43 that measured abdominal fat at age 40 to 45 and dementia occurrence some 36 years later, found that those with the highest amount of abdominal fat were nearly three times more likely to develop dementia than those with the lowest amount of abdominal fat. Having a large abdomen increased the risk of dementia regardless of overall weight and existing health conditions, although being obese as well did increase the risk. Those more likely to have abdominal obesity, were women, non-whites, smokers, people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes, and those with less than a high school level of education. And another large study44 found that those who at 40 were obese, or had high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels, were twice as more likely to develop dementia by the age of 60. Having all three of these risk factors increased their chances six-fold.
And just to be really scary, when45 genetically engineered mice were fed a diet rich in fat, sugar and cholesterol for a mere nine months (although that is, of course, much longer for a mouse than it is for us!), they developed a preliminary stage of Alzheimer's pathology in their brains, suggesting that a 'fast food' diet could be a contributory factor in those with the Alzheimer's gene.
Physical exercise & fitness
A number of studies have found that physical fitness reduces the risk of dementia. One way physical exercise can help fight dementia is through its ability to grow neurons in the hippocampus. This is well-established in rodent studies, and has been confirmed in small human studies. One such study46 found the association between physical fitness and hippocampus size was specifically associated with performance on certain spatial memory tests. Another47 found that those with early Alzheimer's disease who were less physically fit had four times more brain shrinkage when compared to normal older adults than those who were more physically fit, suggesting the value of physical fitness extends to slowing down the progression of the disease.
Another reason for exercise to prevent dementia is through its effect on cardiovascular fitness, and a reasonably large four-year study48 did indeed find that the most active (top third) were significantly less likely to develop vascular dementia than the least active (bottom third). Interestingly, no such association was found with Alzheimer's disease. However, at least two large studies have found a significantly reduced risk of dementia in those who had higher levels of fitness49 or exercised three or more times a week50. It may be that exercise has a greater effect on vascular dementia, but many cases of Alzheimer's dementia are actually mixed dementia, with a vascular component.

It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Disc Brake Pads to fix your car or truck. Audi car, truck, or SUV owners have come to expect a certain level of a reputation for performance when driving their TT around town. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck. When your Audi TT rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants European styling in their automobile.
Your Audi TT disc brake pads evolved from an experimental method of braking pioneered by the racing teams of Europe in the early 20th century. They deliver better stopping power and more reliable braking than the brake shoes they eventually replaced. You will find your vehicle's brake pads on either side of the rotor placed inside your caliper. Hydraulic pressure from your master cylinder is transferred to the caliper, and it pushes the disc brake pads onto the surface of the brake disc absorbing its energy. This transfer of energy slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Don't let a Disc Brake Pads repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the best replacement parts. When your Audi requires a new replacement Disc Brake Pads, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Audi TT part for your project or repair. If your car or truck was built in 2009, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, then you will find the correct Audi TT Disc Brake Pads parts right here.

13 - 14 Final
Gradkowski, Bucs stun Bengals for first win of seasonOct 15, 2006 - 9:17 PM TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are familiar with losing leads in the fourth quarter. They made the Cincinnati Bengals join the club.
Making his second start for injured Chris Simms, rookie Bruce Gradkowski hit Michael Clayton with an eight-yard touchdown with 35 seconds left to lift the Buccaneers to their first win of the season, a 14-13 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Carnell "Cadillac" Williams ran for 94 yards on 19 carries for Tampa Bay (1-4), which ended Cincinnati's eight-game winning streak against NFC opponents.
"That one hurts, when you lose a football game," Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said. "We did some good things at times, but you have got to have an opportunity to close the football game out."
The Bucs' two previous setbacks came with the team holding fourth-quarter leads. On September 24, Tampa Bay fell to Carolina, 26-24, when John Kasay nailed a 46-yard field goal with two seconds left. Then last week, special teams allowed rookie Reggie Bush to return a punt 65 yards for a TD with 4:17 remaining in a 24-21 defeat.
On Sunday, the situation was the complete opposite as the Bucs faced a 13-7 deficit with 4:21 left.
"Gradkowski has had some moments of frustration, but it again just shows the promise this guy has," Bucs coach Jon Gruden said. "The will that he has and his ability to just put things aside. He made some great plays today. To bring your team down the field and score with (35) seconds left is a great accomplishment."
After the defense forced a three-and-out, Gradkowski took control on the Tampa Bay 46. He capped a nine-play, 54-yard drive with a strike to Clayton, who dove for the end zone, but lost the ball.
The original ruling on the field was an incomplete pass, but after a review from the booth it was ruled a touchdown.
"I felt pretty confident," said Gradkowski, who completed 25-of-44 passes for 184 yards with an interception. "I just wanted to get the ball in his (Clayton) hands and he would make the play."
"I know I stretched out across the goal line. I didn't have any doubt," Clayton said. "Some calls like that have been a little fishy. So I was a little scared. Not really a big fan of it
The Bengals tried to maximize the little time they had remaining.
Cincinnati's Carson Palmer found T.J. Houshmandzadeh for 19 yards and then 17 more, setting up a 62-yard field goal attempt by Shayne Graham, who missed wide right and short.
"We thought we had an opportunity to kick the field goal if we got a little bit further than that," Lewis said. "But [Graham] said 'give me a shot.' Your chances of [scoring a touchdown] there from the 40 aren't very good the other way. So, that was out best shot to get the points."
Palmer threw for 261 yards and a TD and Houshmandzadeh hauled in 10 catches for 102 yards and a score for the Bengals (3-2), who have dropped two in a row.
"We're not playing that good on offense," Houshmandzadeh said. "But at the end of the day we had the ball, regardless of how the game was going, with five minutes left. You get a couple of first downs and with that one timeout, the game was over. We didn't."
"It's a tough loss," Palmer said. "It's a team we think we have a chance to beat and we should beat. We just didn't play well and we got outplayed."
Cincinnati opened the scoring 5:52 into the second quarter when Palmer hooked up with a leaping Houshmandzadeh for a 33-yard score.
Tampa Bay drew even with 6:43 left in the third quarter when Gradkowski found tight end Alex Smith from two yards out.
Graham added a 37-yard field goal in the third quarter for a 10-7 edge and after a 51-yard reception by Chad Johnson, Graham split the uprights from 47 yards with 10:39 left.
The loss by the Bengals kept them in second place in the AFC North behind Baltimore (4-2), which lost to Carolina.
The Bucs won the NFC South title last season after a 4-0 start. Now they are trying to recover from an 0-4 start.
"We have to dig ourselves out of this (1-4) hole one game at a time," Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks said.
No one has shouted yet.

Nice hotel as far as looks, but lacks basic amenities one would expect of a high end hotel such as this. No fridge or microwave in the rooms. The swimming pool liked like an Olympic sized lap pool on the website. Amazing how a fish eye camera lens can deceive. It was only 4'6" or 5" max depth and was about 50 feet long if that. The water wasn't even very warm for an indoor pool. The city pool I went to two days later that was OUTSIDE was probably warmer.
I had a room this type with two beds because my family joined me. I'm pretty sure they were just double beds - not queen. I have a queen at home and I couldn't believe how cramped I was. Even after they left a day before me and I slept one night by myself in the double bed, I felt like my feet were sticking off the end of the bed. I didn't get that great of a sleep this time.
I've stayed here four times for business because my company pays for it. If I was paying, I would probably try something different. I guess for free I can't complain...too much.

Known as the month of love, February is often focused on the romantic relationship in our lives. However, what if I told you the best love relationship you will ever have will be with only one person. That February really must be about honouring this special relationship, as this person really gets you, they intuitively know all your dreams and your secret desires.
Who is this you ask? You. And only You.
When we look at our relationship, as many of us have over the years, we can see that the best relationship we need to develop starts closer to home, as in looking within ourselves for fulfillment. Unfortunately, we put off the things that really could make a difference in our lives.
Many people hold the view it is the world around us that holds our happiness -- in the form of the perfect partner, job, house, or whatever is deemed to make us happy. So instead, we put off discovering our true wants, we never develop our skills or abilities to achieve greater professional success, we tolerate the little things piling up around us within our homes, keeping us from engaging in a beloved hobby or new craft.
Procrastination takes over our living. In turn, it stops us from truly loving ourselves and enjoying our lives.

Vancouver – Today marks two weeks before the first day of school and BC Children's Hospital reminds parents and caregivers there are steps they can take now to help children prepare for school-related anxiety and stress.
For many children and youth, beginning a new school year is an exciting time – an opportunity to make new friends, set goals, excel in a favourite subject or play on a sports team. For others it can be unnerving; common sources of anxiety are caused by several things such as, adjusting to a new routine and a new teacher, pressure to make new friends and take part in social situations. These feelings are normal for children and youth who become anxious when faced with change.
Dr. Susan Baer, psychiatrist in the Mood and Anxiety Disorders clinic at BC Children's Hospital, recommends parents plan ahead to help ease the back-to-school transition. Whether it is your child's first day at school, or if they are having a hard time adjusting after summer break, gradually exposing them to their environment can make a big difference.
Tips for parents and caregivers:
• Introduce children to the school year routine one to two weeks before school starts
• Plan for transitions – getting to school, returning to school after breaks
• Provide regular routines – morning, school, homework, bedtime
• Hold realistic expectations that are right for your child's age

Most people I talk to or see are into smoothies these days. It's the "in-drink."
Why not? Drinking smoothies is a power-packed, nutrient-dense, easy and palatable way to incorporate vegetables and fruits into your diet, especially the ones you don't like to eat or would not like to "see" yourself eat.
Spinach, for example, is one green many people/kids don't like to eat, but when blended into a smoothie, it imparts no taste at all! It's a great way to disguise the presence of spinach. Yes, it might turn the drink green, but then that's how you boast of being a healthy eater, isn't it? "Look my drink is green" — this is the new symbol of being "hip!"
So where's the problem, then? Why am I calling it a culprit? You will see as I correlate it to weight gain and digestive symptoms of bloating and gas.
Fruit, one of the main ingredients, is readily available sugar for the body. Yes, it is a healthier sugar compared to the infamous refined table sugar, but it is still sugar after all. So if your smoothie consumption is excessive and/or you are replacing meals with fruit-based smoothies, you are taking in extra calories, especially from sugar, which is the reason for the unwanted weight gain. I, too, gained weight when I first started drinking smoothies — thanks to my love for fruits, and the over-enthusiasm about drinking a "healthy" drink.

We all know during our childhood, people tend to ask us "What do you want to be in the future?"
Your answer most probably leaned towards: "to be rich" or "to be an astronaut" or "to be successful" — all short, yet very distinct dreams that we all aspire to fulfill.
As an avid volunteer, I love to support youth and their community projects, especially those led by the youth themselves. To accomplish my task to highlight youth and their contributions, I came to know about the local youth-led "Peace Welcome Club" founded by a young man – the 17-year-old Harnoor Gill. I was impressed to learn that this young boy is quite different. Being a leader, he is now helping other young people to become leaders.
Ever since his childhood, Harnoor's main dream was to help improve the lives of other people by lending a hand when needed…and indeed he did! He firmly believes that every child can make a difference by letting their voice be heard. Harnoor campaigns to make this happen.

Staying in and cooking at home for a romantic date night is a great idea. You can stay in your comfortable PJs, prepare a gourmet dish with the freshest and healthiest ingredients that will save you both money and excess sodium, calories and unhealthy fats. When preparing your menu, if you decide to stay in for being the date night cook, choose a dish that is gourmet and completely different and exotic than your traditional weeknight dinner options, like the clam and lamb dish below. Take your time in the preparation of the meal and enjoy that quality time with your loved one. A meal that is healthy and homemade is the best gift of any stay at home date night.

Six Tips to Start Investing in Yourself in 2015
By Peter C. Diamond
It's easy to forget that you are your own best asset because so much time is spent reacting to the wants and needs of others. This is particularly true if you're over 35. With the omnipresent demands of career and family, you find little time for yourself.
By not investing in yourself and your betterment, you are diminishing your personal value. Over time, you will find yourself feeling depleted, bored and frustrated realizing that you've done little to improve your well-being. Worse yet, you will be left behind as others are advancing and enhancing their career and life. A tennis instructor once said, "Either you are on a quest to continually improve your tennis game or you are getting worse, there is no staying the same." The same holds true for your career and life.
As we ease into this New Year, take a moment to pause, reflect and reset how you live in the present, and what you want for yourself in the future. Creating a personal investment plan entails mindset, action and belief in what can be. Here are six tips to get you started:
Appreciate and accept what you have

Mehndi is to enjoy and not to suffer. Mehndi night should be memorable and not a nightmare. As festivals like Eid, Navratri, Karwa Chauth and Diwali are happening, I believe everyone is eagerly waiting to get their mehndi done on these festivals.
I can understand being busy in today's world, we don't get enough time to spend for ourselves and hence many clients are interested to know if we, henna artists, have any henna that gives dark and fast colour result without leaving it for long hours.
