Today I want to introduce Patsy Catsos, a friend, colleague, and dietitian. She has a private practice in nutrition, specializing in FODMAPS. It is highly likely you have never heard of it, I hadn't either. I wonder if it may be an answer for some folks who don't meet the diagnosis for celiac disease, but know they feel better on a gluten free diet. I'll let Patsy explain below.
Patsy is giving away a copy of her easy to understand book about FODMAPS, called . I asked Patsy to guest post after reading this book. It gets high praise on Amazon reviews.
Be sure to leave a comment below by February 3, a random winner will be chosen February 4, 2010.
Have you discovered that you feel much better when you don't eat wheat? Less gas, bloating, abdominal pain and irregularity? Skin conditions, energy level and mental acuity improved? What is it about wheat, anyway?
That deceptively simple question has more than one answer. For one solitary grain, wheat can cause quite an assortment of problems! Readers of this blog are well aware of gluten-related health problems that can result from eating wheat. But wheat is more than just gluten. Wheat contains a complex assortment of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. To understand why you react poorly to wheat it's important to key into the difference between reactions to the protein in wheat versus reaction to its carbohydrates.
Sometimes people have bad reactions to one of the many proteins in wheat. Examples? Gluten is the wheat protein that causes the symptoms of celiac disease. Several different wheat proteins can cause classic food allergies or trigger delayed, immune-mediated food sensitivities. This group of undesirable reactions can cause gas, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, but the symptoms aren't limited to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The affected person can experience the reaction all over the body, from rashes, headaches, and joint pains to overall malnutrition.
What if you know from experience that you get GI symptoms after eating wheat, but you've tested negative for celiac disease and food allergies? You are confident that you feel better on a wheat- free diet. You might wonder if the results of your celiac test were wrong (which does happen) or if you are sensitive to gluten in some other way. There is another possible explanation you could consider after celiac disease has been properly ruled out: fructans intolerance.
Wheat contains certain carbohydrates, called fructans, which can cause abdominal pain and bloating for some people. If your symptoms are mostly GI in nature, you've been evaluated by a doctor and diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or have noticed you sometimes get similar symptoms when you eat or drink too much milk, ice cream, certain fruits or juices, garlic, onions, soy or other beans, this possibility deserves serious consideration. These foods all contain carbohydrates that are rapidly fermented by bacteria in the gut. They are referred to as a group by the acronym "FODMAPS."
Fructans are food fibers made of interlocking chains of ring-shaped fructose sugar molecules. Humans don't have the enzymes it takes to break these fructose molecules apart so they can be absorbed with other sugars in your small intestine. But the bacteria that live in your large intestine can digest them, just fine, thanks, and they do so with gusto! In the process, they produce a lot of gas, which, in turn, gives you gas, and might make you feel bloated. Fructans, as well as other FODMAPS carbohydrates, are also capable of attracting and holding water in your large intestine, kind of like a sponge. The gas and water together make you large intestine swell somewhat. Some people can tolerate this just fine, but people with IBS can experience this as a painful sensation, and can have diarrhea or constipation.
Hey, you might be wondering, if we don't have the right enzymes to break down fructans, does that mean that wheat is not a proper human food? Not at all. It just means that wheat is one of many foods that contain fiber. Part of the very definition of dietary fiber is that it's not digestible (by humans, anyway). Fiber in food is usually a good thing! But too much of this good thing is not helpful for many people with IBS, and recent medical studies back this up. If you've tried the high fiber route and found it only makes your symptoms worse, you're not alone. Maybe it's time to try limiting foods in your diet that contribute loads of fructans. Because the US diet revolves around wheat, it's by far the biggest food source of fructans for Americans. If you've already reduced your wheat intake, consider other sources: onions, garlic, leeks, green bananas, artichokes, asparagus, pineapple, zucchini, summer squash, chicory root, inulin (a food additive) and FOS (sometimes added to probiotic supplements).
If you find out that you don't tolerate fructans (and you definitely do NOT have celiac disease), I have some good news for you! Unlike someone with celiac disease who needs a completely gluten-free diet, the fructans-intolerant person can usually manage symptoms by just eating smaller portions of wheat and picking the onions out of your soups and stews. You don't actually have to be wheat- or fructans-free altogether.
In my practice, I've found some clients find it hard to believe that even white flour wheat products could be contributing to their IBS symptoms. They've been aware they don't tolerate fruits, vegetables and milk very well, but they seem to get by with a very limited diet of mostly meat and bread or pasta. They often find that by reducing their intake of wheat products, it makes room in their guts for more fruits, vegetables and milk products. They get a much more varied and nutrient-rich diet this way.
Earlier in this article, I mentioned the term FODMAPS. In addition to fructans, the other categories of FODMAPS carbohydrates are lactose (found in milk and milk products), fructose (found in honey, agave nectar, fruits, and high-fructose corn syrup), sugar alcohols (food additives or naturally found in certain fruits) and galactans (found in soy, beans and certain vegetables). All of the FODMAPS carbohydrates can cause GI distress in more or less the same way as fructans.
If you have celiac disease and already eat a wheat- and gluten-free diet, but still suffer from gastrointestinal complaints, what else can you do? Experiment with the FODMAPS idea! It's a relatively easy, safe and inexpensive way to see if you can feel better by tweaking your diet. Especially early in your diagnosis, before intestinal healing is complete on your gluten-free diet, you may be especially prone to poor absorption of lactose, fructose and sorbitol. Once you have been gluten free for a long time, your ability to tolerate foods containing these carbohydrates may improve a good deal.
Sometimes it's easier to sort things out with a big-picture look at all the FODMAPS at once, instead of focusing one at a time on just fructans or just lactose. For more information about learning a diet that will help you identify your problem carbohydrates, I invite you to visit my web page, www.ibsfree.net.

Developing skins for the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication isn't too hard. You just have to know where to start. The diagram below shows the major pieces of a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication:
- TabbedViewNavigator – This is a skin part of the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication. The TabbedViewNavigator contains 1..N ViewNavigators. Each ViewNavigator is displayed as a tab in the tab bar.
- ViewNavigator – The ViewNavigator is used to push and pop views. Each button on the tab bar represents a single ViewNavigator. In a ViewNavigatorApplication (no tabs) there's only 1 ViewNavigator.
- tabBar skin part – The tabBar skin part belongs to the TabbedViewNavigator. In the Mobile theme, the TabbedViewNavigatorSkin creates this skin part. What's not so obvious is that this skin part is actually implemented as a ButtonBar, not as a TabBar. The tabBar can be any ButtonBarBase. We chose to use ButtonBar to implement first, middle and last button skins for our default Mobile theme.
- ButtonBarButton – Not much to say here. It's a ButtonBarButton that gets it's label and icon from the ViewNavigator.
Since the tabs are just a ButtonBar, we could declare a style rule using "s|ButtonBar" as the selector, but that would affect all ButtonBars in the application. Instead, we need to use advanced CSS as follows:
s|TabbedViewNavigator #tabBar { chromeColor: #000000; color: #FFFFFF; skinClass: ClassReference("skins.TabbedViewNavigatorTabBarSkin"); }
Of course, the major detail I'm leaving out here is the actual TabbedViewNavigatorTabBarSkin. With a little work, I can get my application to look like this:
All it takes is a little bit of FXG and subclassing the existing skins used in the Mobile theme. Watch the video below for a quick explanation, or just download chirpie.fxp and try it out for yourself.
With the June update for Flex and Flash Builder coming soon, knowing your way around the Mobile theme, mobile skins and CSS will help you get started writing cross-platform applications quickly.Share on Facebook

Did you know?
The first South African Surfing Championships took place in Durban in 1966.
Broadly speaking, the KwaZulu-Natal coastline is divided into three zones: Durban, North Coast and South Coast.
Durban, or Surf City, has The Golden Mile of perfect beaches tucked between a series of piers. These are all consistent beach breaks capable of holding sizeable winter swell and summer cyclone swell. The most popular of these are: Bay of Plenty; New Pier; North Beach; Wedge and Dairy. Further south towards the harbour, uShaka and Vetches only pick up when massive southerly winter swells wrap around the harbour and onto the reef.
South of the harbour, bluff beaches meeting the oncoming swell provide solid surfing conditions at the likes of Ansteys, Cave Rock, Brighton and Garvies. Of these, Cave Rock offers the biggest, best waves, but, with a reef bottom, only experienced surfers should apply.
The South Coast, with its many reef and beach breaks, holds the promise of perfect hollow waves, especially if you're in the water early before the wind picks up in summer, or in winter when the swell is big and conditions generally glassy.
The first South Coast beach, Amanzimtoti, is a 20 minute drive from Durban, followed by Warner Beach. Further south, Scottburgh's consistent right point break means there's always someone in the water, while Happy Wanderers' right reef break is empty until conditions are perfect. An hour further south are a number of good reef-to-sand surf spots: Margate; Uvongo; St Michaels; Umzumbe and Lucien.
North of Durban, surf spots worth a visit include Ballito, Umdloti, Westbrook, Umhlanga, Salt Rock, Sodwana Bay and Richards Bay. Of these, Ballito and Umhlanga have the best waves and enjoy a vibrant beach culture, with oodles of accommodation, while Westbrook features a long right when the swell is not too big.

USTFCCCA Release
NEW ORLEANS – Following this past weekend's NCAA regional championships meets, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association recognized the Division I All-Region honorees on Monday. Among the 450 student-athletes that earned the distinction were the University of Pennsylvania's Thomas Awad, Brendan Smith, and Cleo Whiting. The three cross country runners finished within the top 25 at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships held at Lehigh's Goodman Course, on Saturday.
Awad, a sophomore, placed fifth overall in the men's 10K at regionals and was the first Ivy to cross the finish line. With his time of 29:49, Awad secured a spot at nationals and is the first Quaker since Courtney Jaworski, in 2005, to represent Penn at the cross country nationals.
Smith, also a sophomore, was next to cross the line for the Red and Blue at 30:41 and finished 24 overall. Of the five races Smith has competed in this season, he has finished in the top three for Penn -- first at Mainline; second at Friend Big 5, Heps, Regionals; Third at Paul Short.
In the women's 6K, Whiting, a freshman, was the first Quaker to cross the line and placed 23 overall at 20:50. She earned a bid to nationals for being the third highest runner not on the teams who received bids. Whiting will be the first freshman in program history to represent Penn in Terre Haute, Ind.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Cassare Dragons are known for their magic-deadening abilities. Though not a conscious ability, a large field surrounds the dragon through which magic is passively nullified. This field is strongest near the dragon itself, and falls off with distance. The absence of magic often makes other creatures avoid them, though some will have the opposite reaction and seek refuge instead. It has also caused them to be hunted, as though the field is severely weakened once dead, their bones and scales retain some of the effect. Possessing such an item is considered a necessity by those who expect to face hostile magic.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Newfoundland and Labrador has a wealth of great hiking trails, some of the best in the world. There's something special about the trails that head to the top of a hill. They provide a definite sense of accomplishment, even on the most modest ascents, and they will supply spectacular views of the surrounding towns and landscapes. This isn't an exhaustive list, but these are four of our favourites in Eastern Newfoundland. And they may not be Mount Everest, but they'll make you feel like you're on top of the world!

It was another beautiful, sunny day in the capital city as I donned my life jacket and skirt for a kayaking adventure with The Outfitters. Had I already been kayaking twice this summer? You betcha! Was this trip just like the others? Absolutely not. This was unlike any tour I had experienced. I'm talking middle of the ocean, paddling into sea caves, being followed by whales – this was Newfoundland adventure at it's finest.

Cruise Nunatsiavut in Labrador to experience unique aboriginal culture and breathtaking Arctic scenery. Find yourself in the adventures and mysteries of the Labrador Inuit as you cruise through their homeland.
The Northern Ranger ferry service links the small, remote communities of Nunatsiavut during the summer months with a 5-day return trip: Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Nain. Passengers have a choice of accommodations ranging from a dormitory bunk to a deluxe cabin with ensuite.
The return trip affords you a rare opportunity to learn the history and culture of this region and the Labrador Inuit lifstyle. During each community visit you will witness how vibrant traditions and culture resonate within modern communities; all under the backdrop of a wild and majestic sub-arctic Labrador environment that profoundly contrasts with the island of Newfoundland.

On Tuesday, April 9, 2013 John Moores and I headed up to check out the snow stability and snow depths along the flank of Blow me down Mountain near Corner Brook. This area has a great setting for exploring in all seasons but it is particularly scenic in the winter when the white snow contrasts with the deep blue water of the Bay of Islands. Add to this the progressively steeper snow slopes mean that you have terrain that can be adapted to your skills and equipment.

Remember those long, very long dirt roads? Yup—lots more on the way to Churchill Falls. At some point we passed Ranger Lake where we saw a camp and an RV. It was such a startling change from miles and miles of black spruce and sky, Barrie piped up "Jeez—it's built up around here." (I've heard it said that you know you're a Labradorian when your idea of a traffic jam is two cars waiting to pass a moose. Although we didn't see a moose on our way to Churchill Falls, seeing a camp and RV on that long and lonely stretch struck my funny bone.)

GENEVA, Fla. - A 12-foot alligator who wildlife officials believe attacked a teen swimming in the Little Econlockhatchee River in Seminole County was captured on Tuesday night.
Andrew Hudson, 17, of Winter Springs, suffered puncture wounds to his head and back Monday afternoon when the alligator snapped down on his head.
IMAGES: Teen attacked by 10-foot alligator
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission trapper George Walrath captured the gator, which was 2 feet longer than Hudson estimated.
"It is nearly impossible to know for certain whether or not this is the gator that bit the 17-year-old, but the fact that it was easily attracted to bait that was set very close to where Hudson was bitten, and that is showed little fear of the trapper, indicates a high probability that it is the alligator we were targeting," the FWC said.
Hudson was swimming with some friends at the Little Big Econ State Forest near Geneva when he kicked what he thought was a log in the water. The object was actually an alligator and it came up behind Hudson and pulled him underwater.
"He basically took me under right after it happened," Hudson said. "I started elbowing and fighting to get away. I found out it was a gator and basically went crazy trying everything I could to get away."
The alligator loosened its grip, and Hudson says he swam as fast as he could to escape the alligator. When he got to shore, blood was running from the top of his head. Hudson wrapped his shorts around his head to stop the bleeding.
Hudson said he knew that alligators live in the river, but he decided to go swimming anyway.
"I've been going there since I was in middle school," he said. "I just never thought something like this would happen."
He was treated at South Seminole Hospital and later was released after receiving staples on his head and stitches on his forehead.
The captured alligator will be processed for its meat and hide.

Whats the point?
Actually, all of these bodies are beautiful. I wish after all those years of physical labor I did as an ironworker I could have held on to the physique that I once had. Maybe the beer after work got in the way. I'm jealous.
Its not your job to reason why, Its your job to punk and tie!! Thats if you tied bar.
I'd like to that motor bike(Tarah Geiger).
I'd like to be that motor bike seat
Nude in America, a Christian nation? No wonder the view the Muslin world has of us. Of all the worthwhile things we could put in print of a positive nature,, is this the best we can do?
Who asked you about your views on Christianity or the Muslim world my fried? You were curious enough to gaze at the article and naked people yourself so what does that say about you?
my fried? Sounds like you are fried!
French fried Muslim anyone?
Is that the best you can do? poke at one misspelled word. lol
If you check your Christian mythology, the 'fig leaf' was donned by Adam and Eve after they ate of the tree of knowledge. Prior to that God liked them naked.
VERY TRUE Dawnbreaker, your right on! :-)
"Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." They were one in the spirit in the Hevenly realm with God, So when he ate of the forbidden fruit and fell from grace, God covered them both with the seven layers of the skin which enableld them to see their nakedness down here in this natural realm. I hope this clears up the issue. Thanks
you mean the muslims who bomb our streets and kill our children, those muslims can KMA!
Do you really think that all Muslims are the same? That is like saying all Christians are the same. Once you have worked with the Muslim community, just perhaps your view point might be different. Are these beautiful bodies connected to the Muslim religion? If so, please clarify that view point for me.
You are clearly, not well informed. Don't blame a religion for all the bad things. There are good and bad in every religion,race ,nationality. Think before you talk!
Well said!!
Muslims are not bombing our streets Sir. We are bombing theirs. We, though not intentionally, kill their children. "Our" children who have fallen, carry M-14s.
Right ON!
comment below viewing threshold
Umm No, again misinformed people, its so sad. Look up what it is to be a true muslim, there is no murder involved in the religion just like in Christianity and most every other God Loving religion. Its the extreemests that blow stuff up, don't forget the 'christians' who blow up buildings and kill Doctors in front of thier own children. They are both wrong, any religion when taken too far can be Very Wrong and it tarnishes the good parts!
It is not full frontal nudity. It is tasteful art. The muslims are filthy murders. They beat, rape and throw acid on their women and you are okay with that? You are a sympathizer and should go live with those pigs were you belong!
It is a shame how people categorize and judge those who they know absolutly nothing about. For the record, we beat and rape women everyday. We have not gotten to the acid throwing yet.
Agree with MHamilton. This comment reaks of hate and ignorance. Its the equivalent of saying "Catholics drink blood and eat the body of their savior". How do you think that sounds? Open your eyes and see past your rage and the media that you solely base your opinions on. Do you truly think all muslims beat and murder, and rape, and splash acid on their women? Because if you do, I certainly hope that is not the story you are teaching your children...... Or if you are, I hope you are also teaching them that christians put people in camps and starve them and make them do forced labor, and then gas them in chambers and burn the bodies or bury them in mass graves. Because lets not forget, Hitler was a christian... therefore he must represent all christians and their ideals, right...?
Whoa! Hitler? Really? ONE insane man who happened to claim he was a Christian and instilled fear and terror into most of his followers to get them to act on his orders? WOW! Thank goodness the Jews don't hold all that against us Christians...
I hope they don't either because we are following in his footsteps. Illuminati(nwo) working all through our gov't.FEMA(death) camps,marshal law, AURORA and SANDYHOOK- libor trials,Boston bombing-trial run for marshal law not terrorists. Our own national security! check history alquida and taliban for the most part is our own CIA. We sit on our a-- in church, oh I forgive, love unconditionally,grace and mercy YES! AMEN. What most walk out is hate,grudges,lie ,steal,disceive,selfish,all about me.9/11 was Pres. BUSH,CIA,Isreally gov't. Iam a veteran,and am disgraced by our genacide,treason. Know the truth before vomiting. WAKE UP the Illuminati is real & operating everywhere. Stop blaming and learn these things that we can change this.tv is a lie. computer-not IE nor Firefox.
I do care and may the Muslims forgive us in time.
thank you
Stop with the muslim slamming you can go in history and find just as many so called 'Christian Killers' just like MHamilton said...Muslims are not boombing our streets we are bombing theirs!! The US has invaded the countries of Iraq, And Afganastan.Bombed the hell out of them for how many years and for what???? Oh that's right, for some Right Wing LIE!! Yeah ,thats in right wing extreemism along with the Religious Right, you know who you are....killing Doctors..cause you think you should be the judge and jury...Shame on you all. Only God can judge you and I hope I can see what gets laid down for all those people who hate others for no real reason.
I worked at a world class hotel in which I had to take care of the royal family of Saudi Arabia. All the booze they drank was charged in water!!! We shipped prostitute from all over for them and they threw it in my face everyday. They threatened my life on a daily basis. These bodies are beautiful and a work of art. On top of that I see no pornograghity at all.
Boondocks, your comments on this beautiful photography/artwork is a excellent example of why some people "MAY" have a negative view of anyone, not because your a Muslim. No matter where were from, we were born nude, its natural! In the name of Christ Jesus live where "you believe" you belong. God is LOVE!
"Boondock"? No kidding. How about you hunker down around the ol' kerosene lantern and read yer'all bible...where it says WE are made in your gods image...and the examples shown are truly beautiful and non-sexual - especially the woman before and after birth...how beautiful! The Muslims worship a few hundred virgins and stone their wives and children on whims...and their view is even a consideration...why? Nudes in America!? OMG!!! god would be so pissed off to see a naked person. He would be positively cold-cocked.
So sad that you are ashamed of your naked body.
Pretty Sure they were going for "The human Body is a beautiful thing", and athletes seem to have the best examples of this, as they actually take care of their bodies unlike the majority of the rest of america. And yes, USA was founded by a bunch of christians... who grew rich on slavery and growing addictive cancer causing plants and didn't like paying taxes. Spare me your patriotism and ideals. As a christian, I would think that you would have more love for the human form, created in gods own image. These pictures do not show people doing anything obscene or engaging in pornographic acts. If it makes you uncomfortable, why did you even click on the link, I am pretty sure it was pretty straight forward what the article was about...
What?? Are you kidding me?First,we are a nation built on FREEDOM OF Religion. So we can CHOOSE or NOT and its not only Christian. UMM NUDE in AMERICA? Yeah, why not? After all, God did create the human form right? What is wrong with looking at those beautiful photographs? Are you really embarrased of what God and those people's hard work and dedication created? You are a very jugdgemental person, not very Christlike at all!
"God" made us this way, mankind put clothes on. None of these pictures show anything obscene either, they are beautiful people who take care of their God-given bodies, we could only dream to be in such great shape, but they work very hard to maintain that and deserve our respect. Get over yourself already.
The view of the Muslim world? Who the hell cares what those animals think.
I feel the same, not calling Muslim peopel animals, but who asked this animal about his religous beliefs?
Ease up Boondocks; Remember we all look like that in some form or another.
Yes RVGrandpa, which is why I found this very motivational and inspiring indeed :-)
What are we as readers possibly supposed to extract from this? Whatever the answer, I don't get it. Here is my question: Why in the hell is the media so damn anxious for people to take their clothes off & talk about their EMOTIONS? Who gives a Rats ass!I think the media are comprised of some sick axx M@(&@(&*'s!
At least the media have better and cleaner language skills than you do. The media tries to provide material of interest to readers. Am I correct in assuming you must have been interested enough to read what the media presented. My question is why did you read it in the first place maybe that is your answer is why the media did it.
I was just looking at the pictures
The media have? That is the media "has" Next, your "Am I correct.....presented," should end with a question mark,?. My question.....read it in the first place, would end with a question mark. "maybe, should have a capital "M" Finally, "that is your answer is why the media did it" Work on your grammar and perhaps your commentary will prove to make more sense.
Actually "the media have" is correct. Singular is 'medium'. Plural is 'media'.
Thanks for that correction, this is true in American English. I studied in England and we use, the media has. Nevertheless, point taken. Thanks!
its art. wth is wrong with you? i wonder if you are equally offended by the good looking cheerleaders? or does the swimsuit issue of SI get you shorts in a bunch too? the staue of David??.... just wondering. why does one have to extract something? while i agree with you to a point about the media, but they are just giving peole what they want. its not like its a porn shoot. get real.
you gotta admit, these are some pretty awesome photos. even the golfer looks fantastic. 77 and fantastic! very cool. the mom with child was beautiful. not cuz she's nude but because she's just her, and child. beautiful!! thank you.
Why are some of you offended by simple nude photos? You're ok with prolific violence in the media but not ok with some naked bodies? Really? Ok go back to watching your Pat Robertson and the 700 Club. Or maybe you should just go join the Muslims who appear to be as uptight about something so natural as our own bodies... god forbid we should have to see that!
These athletes represent hard work and dedication. Human body at its best; it is a beautiful thing! To the prudes, it's just skin. We all have it. Love and treat your body right. It is the only one you have to live this life with.
This is the problem with America, everyone think about sex. Outside of America sex is not a dirty word and children are not raised in a sterile environment. Children are taught that the body is a beautiful art figure. They are taught in a healthy way unlike most American children. The parents are the blame. Parents don't take time to teach their children much of anything, so children learn from other children the wrong way. I traveled Europe and stores that Americans call sex shops are nicely windowed and you wouldn't think of it as just a sex shop. It is done in a tasteful manner and not objectionable to the eye. Yes it is different than what we are use to but I can accept it in a different manner. Americans are just snobs and have an unhealthy mentality about the human body. Grow up people as there is nothing wrong. Statues throughout the world are naked. If Americans were brought up different, we probably wouldn't have as many rapes and other sexual incidents in our country. Grow up and expand your mentality for a healthy manner.
Yes your so right. Was a child counsellour for a school district for 18 yrs, im aware that sex education is taught in schools starting from the 5th grade plus CPS. The point is because of the AIDS edpidemic this was the cause of prophylactics being introduced & given away free at all schools & state agencys. Sex ED introduced to young children is FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Especially in the elementary schools when the young are curious. Yes it starts at home but also the eductaion
starts to form their minds. Yrs ago the birds & the bees came normally, but because of this the good have to suffer along with the bad. Same thing for the CPS (child protective services)
by the t ime they reach high school.. the teens use that law against their parents which the parents are afraid to repremand or discipline their children at home. Therfore they do what they will & have no fear of authority & no respect. Take in mind
education is a form of brain washing. This is my opinion. But your correct...the world is filthy & uncouth.
The pictures are beautiful, yes Americans are to uptight about nakedness BUT rape has nothing to do with sex, nothing.
I thought we were supposed to comment on the article not try to berate the people that make a legitimate comment. Sounds to me like you just want to be a jerk.
For someone that is trying to make a personal statement against what other people are commenting about, it seems you are also complaining about the same thing. Why don't you just mind your own business and comment on the article and not worry about what other people are doing. The pictures are all done in good taste and quite beautiful as human art.
Beautiful photos. Athletes use their bodies for their professions - why not see how they look without their uniforms? Not one photo is inappropriate or sexual. Although Colin's pic is pretty hot! Fit bodies are beautiful - we should all aspire to keeping our bodies (our temples) in the best possible condition as a way of being thankful for the gift of life!
I was going to say how stupic these pictures are until I saw boondocks' holier than thou little lecture. Now I'm buying the issue. Might even get a copy for my Minister as well. By the was, assface, we aren't a "Christian" nation. This is the United States of America. I can practice any religion I want, or no religion at all, and be just as much a citizen as you are (you might want to take note of that as well, lardog).
animals? Your being kind. More like road side bombing,running and snipping,beheading innocent people,shooting little girl,nutless cowards. Who gives one ____ iota what those cowardly minute minded savages think!
If being naked is bad what is stoning a human to death or lopping a head off?
This could be a good discussion if religion and attacks on Muslims and Christians had not been brought up and become more the focus.
I thought that was a cool issue. Nice work on changing things up.
Beautiful - great shots.. Considering I live in Southern California this is so refreshing. Not everyone is in great shape! People go out half naked to restaurants with blobs of fat exposed! The human body truly as a work of art.
YES, these photos are a refreshing representation of the human body in various stages of life
Great pictorial! I for one, am inspired by the thoughtful, artistic representation of, and testament to, the human body in it's physically fit form. I view this as art, as honoring the benefits of the physically fit body. There is NOTHING here to be offended about!
Excellent portrayal of people who have invested time, energy and dedication to staying fit and strong, as-well-as sculpting their bodies to perform to the max and be as beautiful as possible. These photos are quite inspiring.
Cool story bro.
I agree that it's art...But where are the offensive linemen with the fat guts or the beer guzzling bowler? Remember Rick Rueschel? Where are guys and or ladies like that? Athletes come in all shapes and sizes.
All I can say is I'd love to be in Sydney right now... and I don't mean Australia!!
Beautiful art. Muslim, Christian, Jewish, any other legitimate religion or no religion. Black, white, yellow, brown or alien. Tall, short, fat, skinny or perfect. None matters you're either an asshole or your not. There are three classes of all of the above. One is politically correct, one is prejudice and one is complimentary. Oh, and we're all nude at the beginning and end.
Great pics - Faried is my favorite.
These pictures are beautiful!
I would like to say though that not all Muslims are terrible people. It is the extremist groups that are the ones who we hear about in the news. There are good and nice Muslims in the world and even here in our own country. They are people just like us. Remove every single opinion and belief from everyone in the world and strip them down to nothing and we are all just bodies, just like the ones pictured above (some not quite as fit as others, but that's okay too).
We,American, should not care about what the Muslims world think about us. They are from another planet (point of view stand).
They are trained to destroy us. East against the West. That is the bottom line. They just take advantage of us. We should stand strong. I do not know not even one Muslim who like us. They are here just to use us. They are not a Western religion.
Yawn. Get back to us when you wanna show something other than side views, with everything 'strategically' covered up. Might as well be wearing clothes.
Muslims , Americans, Christians have been killing innocent people for a long time. My father a decorated war veteran killed women and children following orders. Drank himself to death. Mercy and unconditional love might be of some use. Just a suggestion , you are free to pick love or hate .
It amazes me that people's religion some how comes into the conversation. These are pictures of the human body. It's sad to think that we as human beings, can't look at tasteful photos of other people who take care of their bodies. I see NO porn here. It would be fantastic, if everyone would remember that ALL religion is TAUGHT---we are not born with it. It makes me laugh when I hear people say---I believe. NO---you were TAUGHT TO BELIEVE a certain religion. Just as we are taught to speak English, French, German, etc.. I feel they did a very good job with the lay out of these photos. Great job.
Lots of hate in the comments above... Sad. Most surprised at the christians who are hating on other religions, or on the nudity... but I guess alot of people just don't know the first thing about being a christian or what Christ taught... including some christians.
The pictures are awesome, a testament to gods creation if nothing else (if you believe in god). And a testament to the beauty of the human body when it is taken care of (if you don't believe in god).
I have observed the comments, We all deffinately need to forgive if we have the slighhtest desire to be forgiven of God. We do not discern Jesus after the flesh, our enemy is the spirit of error and to recognize it we must learn of the Spirit of Truth Who dwels within His temple whose house we are. I am not waiting for Him to return from without(the world) but I am expecting Him to appear from within(heaven) His Temple built by God for Himself purchased by Himself. Let's act accordingly...
AreYouKidding? This page is to show how god made us, and what we can become if we live a healthy lifestyle. Also, who are to judge? You probably go nude around your house, and you probably don't care when family members or relatives do it, so why do YOU care about these wonderful athletes. As I said before, THIS IS HOW GOD CREATED US, and if you don't believe that God did this, you're an Atheist.
I initially wrote some mean things to respond, but I'm working on that so it was deleted. Those are beautiful tasteful pictures of the human form of people that are fit due to training for what they do. When you compete in a sport at the caliber of those photoed, your body will look like that, Notice how the skiers have larger quads, and how the climbers have slender muscled long limbs. It's awesome how they've perfected their bodies to the sport that suits them through hard training. To my eye, the beauty, form, and art of the human body was depicted, and I wouldn't have an issue with my kids seeing this. The mall, the local grocery store parking lot, or Wal-Mart poses a higher risk of our children seeing perversion. My daughter and I unfortunately saw a wrinkled pierced nipple yesterday while parking the car at a grocery store. Try explaining that.
For partially nude non sexual photos of athletes affecting you children, try this. Teach your kids that they are worthy of respect from all and to respect all others. Those that don't give respect, don't deserve respect. Those that don't accept respect, don't give respect. Don't associate with no respect. Photos of people that don't have self respect aren't to be respected. Photos of athletes that work from the age of your children to master their sport and develop the unique muscular form their human body has is no less the feat of that da Vinci had taking 16 years on the Mona Lisa.
Wow! Looks like some comments at the top somehow got deleted or removed. Interesting...
Yea, most of them we're PROBABLY marked as spam.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/10/2012 (1774 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Everybody loves a coach that is loyal to his players, especially when they are injured, and especially when they are the frontmen for the team. I prefer one that values the concepts of momentum and continuity even more.
After the comments I read Thursday, where Tim Burke would still not commit to Joey Elliott if he wins today, it made me wonder how much stock he puts into these intangibles that are lifelines for a young and emotionally volatile team?
While I have always enjoyed playing for a coach that plays hard to get, and makes you earn his praise, I was underwhelmed by Burke's comments once he learned that Elliott would have to play against Calgary. In case you missed it, Burke said "If Joey can have a really good game this week, certainly that would say to us as an organization, 'Hey, we've got a pretty good backup here at least.'"
When pressed as to what would happen if Elliott beat Calgary, he passed on the opportunity to once again endorse him as a starter. "Let's just wait until it happens. Then I'll give you an answer." Thanks for the pep talk coach. Are these the words of a man who believes that his former third-string pivot can defy the odds yet again?
Throw Elliott a bone, for Pete's sake. It's not like going out today and securing the Bombers' first two-game winning streak of the season is going to be easy in any way, shape, or form. He is facing a team that curb-stomped him 44-3.
Would it really have been that much of a stretch or that disloyal to Buck Pierce for Burke to come out and say, "If Joey can win two in a row and keep this momentum going, and give us hope of making the playoffs, he will get to hold onto the reins."
Is that really promising too much? Giving your young leader something to play for by dangling a carrot in front of him, when the post-season is a real possibility if they win today?
I understand that Pierce is the poster boy and franchise quarterback of this team. I know from personal experience what he is capable of and the calibre of leader he is. I understand that when healthy, when able to practise all week and finish an entire game, Buck gives this organization the best chance to win. I also understand that has not been the case this season.
With four games left in the season, I thought the decision coach Burke had to make was clear. He had to ride the hot hand. It wasn't broken, so he shouldn't be fixing it. He had to play out the momentum this team generated against the best team in the East and keep a level of continuity in the ranks.
For those of you that don't know, a definition of continuity is, "an uninterrupted connection." As soon as he was asked this week, he interrupted that connection by stating that if Buck cleared all his medical tests, he would be the starter against Calgary. Holy buzz kill Batman.
If I was a head coach, and even if I didn't want my team to build off the momentum of the last win and keep the connection the same by starting another quarterback, I would not have endorsed another player until I absolutely knew I had another option to work with. Because now Joey is a lame duck quarterback on the field today. He knows he is playing by default, and he knows even if he wins, there is still a good chance his boss won't want him to play next week either. That wouldn't exactly get me to run through a wall for him.
Last week we saw a quarterback who had thrown three interceptions the previous game, and hadn't throw a touchdown pass in five games, shrug it off and win an unwinable game. This week we wait with bated breath to see if the same quarterback can shrug off the realization that despite all he accomplished last week, he wasn't going to play today, and he had better make chicken excrement taste like chicken salad if he hopes to play again.
Maybe Joey Elliott needs to win today and receive the CFL offensive player of the week for the third time, and second time in a row, before he gains a full endorsement from his coach, -- something more definitive than a "We will see."

The Burning Christmas Cross
by PinPonPun in Miscellany, Ponderings, Punditry, Things Atheists Hate
Is it just me or does this "Original Christmas Cross" seem, well, just a little inappropriate?
Granted, it is a product of the American Family Association, and organization known for sharing in the idyllic love and peace of Christianity; an organization that is known for its peaceful and loving embrace of all people.
In this year's annual return of the "War on Christmas" I'm sure that the AFA will gladly send out free Christmas Crosses to those that make its annual "Naughty or Nice?" retailer list!

Generating designs and products that imitate the examples of Creation in nature has been a special interest of science since the latter part of the 20th century. Hundreds of people studying at departments specializing in genetic engineering, material engineering and molecular bio-simulation in many universities are working with special projects on this subject. They are trying to study the living structures found in nature and manufacture useful products by taking the superior structure and order of living beings as an example.
Bacteria Acting Like a Biological Compass
Scientists are planning to manufacture nano-sized magnetic particles and use them in many fields, especially in medicine, by taking bacteria living in water and mud talus as an example. Scientists who studied how these bacteria navigate, found that these bacteria produce minerals with magnetic abilities (magnetite) using proteins. These magnetites, which are 50 nanometers (one in a millionth of a meter) in size and have a smooth structure like diamonds, are lined up next to one another and enable the being to find its way by acting as a compass. For a bacteria to manufacture magnetite by using proteins,
-What a protein is,
-The content of the protein structure,
-How to produce a protein,
-What magnetic ability means,
-How to produce a mineral with magnetic propensities.
Those who try to acquire this knowledge (which a being that cannot even be seen with the naked eye has) in laboratories built with millions of dollars of investment and by using highly advanced equipment have to realize the extraordinary aspect of this situation. Allah creates many evidences, even in a single bacterium, for people to see the Fact of Creation. These evidences are of course very valuable for those who look without prejudice and assess what they see with their minds and conscience: the whole universe is the work of Allah, the All-Powerful, the All-Mighty, All-Knowing.
Sponge Thorns Even More Effective Than Fiber Optic Cables
One creature scientists have been studying lately is the marine sponge…
A sponge species called rosella racovitzea lives at a depth of almost 200 meters. There are green algae that lead a symbiotic life inside sponges. Sunlight is little, if any, at this depth. Despite this, these sponges can obtain food via photosynthesis using this extremely limited amount of light. So how does this extraordinary process take place?
The surface of sponges is covered with thorns made up of silicon oxide and called spicules. Silicon oxide is a substance used in window glass and well known by everyone. When these thorns are examined with electron microscopes in detail, it is found that it has star-like structures acting like lenses on its tips. The little light that reaches 200 meters deep is focused inside the thorn with the help of this lens-like structure and reach the green algae that live inside the sponge just like with fiber optic cables. Green algae helps acquire food for sponges. Additionally, studies by scientists have revealed that sponge thorns transmit light much more effectively than fiber optic cables due to their mechanical and optical qualities.
Now, in the advanced laboratories of the 21st century, a counterpart of this extraordinary quality, that a sponge has had for millions of years, is being produced. Scores of scientists and researchers are trying to imitate a mechanism found inside a small thorn on a sponge by spending millions of dollars and using very advanced technical materials and research infrastructures. Of course, all these details are a clear evidence of Creation. A person with an open mind and reason can easily see the existence of a superior Might and Power Who created the sponge, its thorns, the amazing structures of these thorns, the algae that lead a symbiotic life with the sponges and the photosynthesis system of these algae. The Owner of this unique might and matchless intelligence is Almighty Allah.
Scientist Are Trying to Produce Armor Stronger Than the Scales of Predatory Fish
American researchers are examining the scales of the polypterus senegalus fish that live in the muddy waters of Africa. They think that they can produce armor stronger and lighter than the fish's scales.
It's common knowledge that in the era we live in, scientists benefit from the models in nature when working on technological products. In recent years, many tools, systems and mechanisms produced by using the systems found in nature as an example, are being offered to the service of humanity. It is possible to give many examples of technological products developed by imitating the models found in nature. One of these is the strong armor system. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken inspiration from the structures of fish scales in order to produce light and strong armors.
During their research, MIT engineers discovered that the scales of the 40 centimeter- long fish called polypterus senegalus act as a highly resistant armor against external impacts.
The MIT team took samples of the fish scales, and began to study this "armor" made up of four layers in a computer environment.
The researchers discovered that every one of these four layers has perfect geometric structures and observed that the way that the layers are added to one another has made the scales very resistant. Christine Ortiz, a member of the MIT team, explains what can be accomplished by using the scale structure as an example; "Its junction points, strong as rock, and energy dispersing mechanisms can be applied to armor systems".
Our Almighty Lord, the All-Knowing, is the One Who has created nature and all that dwells within, from which scientists take inspiration for their technological studies, with great harmony and flawlessness. Our Lord, Allah, has created all of these details in the world for us humans to be able to live in comfort.
Allah reveals as such in one verse:
Mankind! remember Allah's blessing to you. Is there any creator other than Allah providing for you from heaven and earth? There is no god but Him. So how have you been perverted? (Surah Fatir, 3)

A HOUSE burglar who ran off after being caught in the act had to be taken to hospital because of the blood he lost when he cut himself breaking in. James Cherry's victim found a pool of blood in the kitchen after chasing the 21-year-old away from his detached house in Walcot.
And after police joined the hunt they found the intruder, who had only just got out of prison, hiding in the garden of another house with a wound in his upper thigh.
Colin Meeke, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court Lee Parkin had gone out for an hour at lunchtime on April 24.
When he returned he heard noises upstairs and police saw a figure going out of an upstairs window on to a sloping roof.
As the burglar ran off he gave chase but returned to the house in Falmouth Grove as he got away.
"He found a smashed kitchen window and quite a lot of blood on the kitchen floor," Mr Meeke said.
Although nothing had been stolen he said a number of items had been moved ready for taking away.
Mr Meeke said an officer carrying spotted a man matching the raider's description.
Cherry, who gave the court an address at a hostel in Croft Road, Old Town, admitted burglary.
Paul Trotman, defending, said his client had been in custody since his arrest and was realistic about the likely sentence that he would receive.
Jailing him for a year Recorder Maria Lamb said: "Only a matter of weeks after you have been released from a Young Offenders' Institute for a breach of young offenders' supervision order you went to a home, you broke in and the occupier returned while you were there."

The Harris County Sheriff's Office Marine Unit and Cy-Fair Fire and Rescue say they have suspended all operations, pending any additional information on the missing Kayaker.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said they received a call around 2:45 pm Saturday afternoon after neighbors found a capsized kayak floating in a retention pond near the 9100 block of Wheat Cross in the Copper Lakes subdivision.
Authorities said when fire rescue arrived on the scene, they did not find anyone near the kayak.
"We did a 360 search of the retention pond area and also with the assistance of the Department of Public Safety's helicopter, we did an aerial search," said Deputy Gilliland Thomas.
Deputies are looking for 32-year-old Ryan Smith, who was seen fishing on the lake Saturday morning.
Investigators said Smith is 5 feet 11inches tall with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing shorts and white T-shirt.
Officials said Smith is known to kayak the retention pond and fishes the pond frequently.
"A passerby saw someone out on the lake this morning, on the boat fishing," said Brian Shirley of the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department. "They came back from a trip from the mall and all they saw was a capsized boat."
Officials don't have much information to work with, but said they did find some of his belongings. They found an empty white pickup truck and his cellphone.
"The sheriff's office is researching the license plate and VIN number," said Shirley. "They (officials) are running the shoreline and also checking the lake to see if we can find any debris or anything floating."
Family members held each other and cried as they looked out onto the lake in confusion. They said he fishes in this spot often, but when they couldn't get a hold of him, they knew something was wrong.
Neighbors said they were on edge as they watched officials search the lake behind their homes for the missing man.
"We saw the lights going by behind the fence and then we heard the helicopter, so I came out," said Robert Baten.
The Department of Public Safety also joined in the search. A helicopter's FLIR was used, which is a thermal energy camera to scan the water for any temperature deviations in the lake.
"I just hope the guy is alright," said Baten.
Marine unit divers searched the 155 acres of murky water until lighting conditions were too dark. Officials ended their search Sunday, pending any additional information on the missing Kayaker.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office at 713-755-7427.

About the Book
In Finding the Palouse Prairie, Matthew Dolkas tells the story of the Palouse Prairie. He has devoted two years to this project, seeking to inspire us with images of this endangered ecoregion. His purpose in telling this story is to advocate for the restoration and protection of the remaining prairie.
The native habitat of the Palouse has almost been entirely plowed under. Of the once continuous Palouse Prairie, less then 1% remains, making it one of the most critically endangered ecoregions in the country. The little that is remaining is fragmented into small, isolated pockets, which are still threatened by weed invasion, urbanization, and agricultural practices.
But there is still time to make a difference: the decisions we make, both individually and as a community, are reflected in our landscapes. We should choose to make decisions that protect the land's diversity for both our benefit and for the future's. We should do so without regrets or inhibitions because it is the right thing to do now, regardless of what happens in the future.

About the Creator
Matthew Dolkas grew up in Palo Alto, Ca. After High School he moved to Sitka, Ak to attend Sheldon Jackson College (SJC). In 2007, he received his B.A. degree from SJC in Outdoor Leadership and went to work for the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). After two years at NOLS, however, outdoor education proved to be unsatisfying and he decided to go back to school to better his chances at a career in conservation. In the fall of 2009 he began classes at the University of Idaho in Moscow. For his Master's work he has committed the last two years documenting the remaining Palouse Prairie. His hope is that the images in "Finding the Palouse Prairie" inspire you to help protect what little remains of this endangered ecoregion.

Gausman uneven in debut; three HRs can't pick up 'W'
Davis, Markakis and Jones go deep; Machado smacks three doubles
TORONTO -- Rookie Kevin Gausman's Major League debut didn't have a fairy-tale ending, but he kept his team in the game over five solid innings of work. The right-hander exited trailing by a run before the Orioles' bullpen took over in the sixth.
That, however, is when things spiraled out of control for Baltimore during the club's first visit north of the border.
Pedro Strop surrendered a sixth-inning grand slam, a trio of O's relievers were tagged for eight runs to ensure Gausman suffered the loss and the Orioles fell to the Blue Jays, 12-6, to kick off a four-game set at Rogers Centre on Thursday.
"You like your chances when you score six, but not when you walk that many people," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
The skipper was referring to the eight walks the Orioles issued on the night, which included three in the game-changing sixth inning.
Troy Patton, who relieved Gausman, got a pair of quick outs before walking No. 9 hitter Munenori Kawasaki.
"The walk to Kawasaki in the sixth kind of put us in harm's way," Showalter said.
Patton issued another walk before Showalter turned to Strop to face Jose Bautista. Strop continued the trend and walked Bautista on six pitches to load the bases for slugger Edwin Encarnacion, who responded by lining a 1-1 pitch off the foul pole in left for a grand slam, which put the Blue Jays up, 8-3.
"Edwin hitting that ball to give us some breathing room. It makes the game, definitely not easier, but definitely a little more relaxing," said catcher J.P. Arencibia, who went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs.
The Orioles came back and tacked a run on the board in the seventh before Nick Markakis and Adam Jones hit back-to-back homers in the eighth to make it 8-6. It was the third time this season the Orioles have hit back-to-back home runs.
But Baltimore didn't get any closer than that, and Toronto had another four-run inning in the eighth, this time doing the damage against left-hander T.J. McFarland. The 12 runs the Orioles allowed matched a season high.
Before Toronto got the best of Baltimore's bullpen, all eyes were on Gausman, whose debut featured a little bit of everything.
He took the mound with his parents and girlfriend in attendance and did his customary superstitious acts of hopping over the foul line before taking a couple steps into his first warmup pitch, which he threw from behind the rubber. Gausman then started off his outing with seven consecutive fastballs that registered from 95-98 mph.
The 22-year-old ended his first big league inning by getting Encarnacion looking at a 97-mph heater before punching out Adam Lind on a mid-80s changeup. Gausman said he was able to finally calm his nerves after escaping the opening frame.
After Gausman retired nine of the 12 batters he faced through three scoreless innings, the Blue Jays got to him in the fourth and cut into a 3-0 Orioles lead.
The first four batters of the inning reached base and before the frame was done, Baltimore's lead was down to one run. Then in the fifth, Toronto took the lead for good.
Gausman retired the first two batters of the inning before allowing a single to Lind and then a two-run homer to Arencibia, his 11th of the season, that put Toronto in front, 4-3.
The rookie showed some great sequencing, however, against Bautista to start off the frame. He got the three-time All-Star to swing through a strong changeup down in the zone -- a pitch Gausman thought worked very well for him -- before putting two high heaters by Bautista for his fourth strikeout of the game.
"I like the way he presented himself," Showalter said. "You could see his presence. I'm proud of him."
Gausman lasted five innings, allowing four runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out five. He routinely was throwing his fastball in the mid-to-high 90s, and he recorded some swinging strikes with a changeup that had some late, downward movement. The Louisiana State University product, who estimated that he threw just under 10 sliders, said the hitters at the big league level are "so good, it's kind of crazy."
"Definitely a learning experience for me, but it was awesome," said Gausman, who became the third Orioles player to make his Major League debut this season. "It was everything I could have imagined and more.
"I've been waiting my entire life for this. I haven't been able to sleep very much lately. That was something that was kind of great to get out of the way. Hopefully I can sleep tonight."
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was impressed with what he saw.
"He had some good composure. It looked like he belonged out there," Gibbons said. "For a debut, I thought he did a heck of a job. It looks like he'll have a bright future -- he's got a great arm."
Manny Machado gave Gausman an early 2-0 lead by smacking a two-run double down the left-field line off Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow in the third inning. Machado, who also doubled off Morrow in the first and fifth innings, has a Major League-leading 21 doubles. It marked the second time this season Machado has recorded three doubles in a game.
Chris Davis hit Baltimore's first homer of the game, a solo shot he crushed off Morrow in the fourth inning for his Major League-leading 15th home run. Davis has homered in consecutive games for the third time this season.
Despite allowing 10 hits -- three of which were homers -- and six runs, Morrow picked up his second win after throwing seven innings plus two batters, while striking out five.
The loss snapped the Orioles' two-game winning streak and tied their season series with Toronto at two games apiece.

"In a time when all gyms are starting to look the same, you need to differentiate yourself. Until the customer has a chance to talk with you, the only reference point that potential lifter has is the equipment and atmosphere of your gym." Roger LaPointe, President Atomic Athletic.
This photo was for the Custom version we did for Kim Wood, the founder of Hammer Strength and former Strength Coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. The regular version does not have the wrap around metal bands, as they seem to get in the way of lifting. They are also painted Gloss Black. If you want to see the style of the Regular Version which were are now producing, see the 6 Inch Diameter Shot Loading Kettlebells , as these are the first shot loading items to roll off the line in our new standardized style.
