Nike Fuelband (£129) Simply tracking your activity can be a good way to motivate yourself to do more. The Nike Fuelband makes that simple: it's a wristband that contains motion sensors to track your movement through the day, translating your activity into 'Nike Fuel' points that aim to let you compare yourself to others, regardless of the sports you're doing. It also counts the steps you take - 10,000 per day is seen as a good indicator of a healthy lifestyle - and tells the time. It comes in three colours but the sleek black version is the coolest.

When you're riding a motorcycle, very few things (depending on the type of accident you may be subjected to) are accident proof. Not your watch—not your body. That's why you never get on a motorcycle without stellar motorcycle insurance and the name of a great motorcycle accident lawyer.
Watches Built Specifically For Motorcycle Riders
Time flies when you're riding a motorcycle so you better keep an eye on your watch; wouldn't want to be late to pick up your date after all. So in addition to motorcycle wear, gear and jewelry—there are motorcycle watches. These watches are built for style but are also rugged enough to withstand the vibration of riding a motorcycle. In an accident however, if that watch isn't covered by long gloves or the cuff of your leather jacket, it doesn't stand much of a chance. That watch is under the same kind of risk as are your limbs, face, head and spine. They don't make watch helmets… At least not yet. Triumph, makers of the infamous motorcycle, also just happen to make Triumph watches. Go figure!
Of Course Those Aren't The Only Watches In Town
Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, and of course Harley Davidson all make motorcycle watches. They run the gamut from truly stylish, to truly rugged, to both. You can find these watches highly discounted online, as you can see, or you can spend more for them at a department store or at a fine jewelers.
Then again you can always have one custom made at a fine jeweler.

Alan Wall: Blake's Newton as he portrays him is luminous, but he is entirely intent on measurement, and his vision has been constricted to a downward gaze. Like Nebuchadnezzar he is being pulled down by the gravitational pull of dead materiality, where Blake's more glorious figures always move upwards and outwards. They are presented to us as the source of their own energy – God is only ever alive through his vital being inside the living creatures of imagination – and it is the light of themselves that illuminates their vivid landscapes. Their bodies are luminous with their spirits; indistinguishable from them. They radiate energy continuously. Their flesh is the irradiated form of their souls.

Does anyone know when the public beta releases this month? Has there been any announcements?
Does anyone know when the public beta releases this month? Has there been any announcements?
not as far as i know, but i'm expecting it soon
"Late Summer" is the official date right now.
my music is my game
Just to be clear, we do need to be signed up with XNA(the $99 fee), to get access to the beta, correct?
I'm signed up with XNA, and I have submitted my email at the RBN creators site, and now I can not wait to start uploading music!
I am excited to help the RBN store open as early as possible and with high quality charts.
Can we also download songs from RBN in the beta? Probably a really stupid question but... eh.
I would bet that the only difference between the public beta and the official launch of RBN is that there will be no downloading of songs in the RBN store during the beta
what's the point then? just look at it?
Test it and work out the flaws. As is the point with any beta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_version#Beta

Does Birth Order Matter?
Whether they're first born, in the middle, the youngest, or the one and only, children all have personality characteristics associated with their birth order.
The Only Child
Only children are thought to have personality traits similar to firstborns only much more intense, so expect the firstborn personality traits to be slightly magnified in only children.
Instead of having to adjust to a sibling being introduced into the family, only children get to be the center of their parents' attention for a lifetime. And while a parent's attention can be a wonderful thing, only children are often referred to as lonely-onlies, because without the presence of a sibling and some of the attention off them, they have a tendency to become more self-centered and directed. To offset this they need to exercise their social skills with a strong network of friends and family—particularly children of different ages. Parental awareness and participation are key to raising an only child with all the advantages a child with siblings has.

Significant winter weather continues to plague several areas as a storm system tracks from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast.
Cold air from Canada and snow on the ground brought subzero temperatures to many places in eastern California and western Nevada, the National Weather Service reports.
For days, temperatures have plunged across a large portion of the United States, accompanied by a storm system that's brought sleet, snow, ice or a combination of all three.
A storm dropped up to 3 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada, helping build up the slopes and giving a fun run to skiers and snowboarders Saturday.
On Tuesday, the Nevada Highway Patrol reported 327 crashes, slide-offs and assistance calls in northwestern Nevada, many due to driving too fast and following too closely in stormy conditions.
A strong snowstorm is expected to slam into the Reno-Tahoe area late Friday, bringing snow to the valley floors and whiteout conditions to Sierra passes.
A man was found dead today behind a convenience store in Carson City, Sheriff Ken Furlong said. When asked if the cold temperatures killed the man, Furlong said, Obviously before medical exam we cant say definitively, but that is what we believe.
Bitter cold weather continues to bring record-low temperatures to much of northern Nevada, including a bone-chilling, minus-23 in Ely near the Utah line.
The commute this morning is going smoother than Wednesday's commute, the Nevada Highway Patrol reports.
Frigid temperatures. Slick roads. A chance of freezing fog and another snowstorm on the way.
Much of Nevada was bracing Wednesday for what could be the coldest weather in several years, with overnight low temperatures expected near or below zero in Reno.
With temperatures below freezing and many roads still slick from Tuesdays snowfall, forecasters are warning motorists to take care during this evenings commute.
The city of Reno is reminding property owners that it is their responsibility to remove snow from the sidewalks adjacent to their property.
Reno is in for frigid temperatures for several days, including possibly record cold temperatures this weekend, but this afternoon's commute could be better than this morning, the National Weather Service reports.
Traffic is moving at a snail's pace this morning as roads are still slick in many places from Tuesdays snow.
Icy conditions and the coldest temperature in Reno since 2009 will follow significant snowfall in Reno and Sparks this week, the National Weather Service says.
A winter storm dumped about a half foot of snow on the Reno area Tuesday
A man stalled his Pontiac Grand Prix in snowy slush Tuesday and left his vehicle on McCarran Boulevard to ask a Reno police officer for help.
A storm could make Tuesdays commute in the Reno area especially slick, the National Weather Service warns.
The Washoe District Health Department announced it has changed the wood burning code from voluntary restriction to burning allowed.

margaritas in studio
These sculptural drink dispensers from Pottery Barn are on the studio wish list … they'll be perfect for our overseas trade shows (we'll be allowed to serve drinks in booths) as they are pretty, functional, and light/easy shipping (made of acrylic). They come in colors, but I prefer the clear ones so you can see the color of the beverage you're about to drink. I fantasize about having one filled with never-ending supply of margaritas here in the studio all summer. Is that so wrong???

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Do you have a question about your child's health? This section offers information that may help you. View age-appropriate health information for your child.
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.

Approximately 12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in the United States, with more than 400 of those diagnoses occurring in Georgia.
Since the passage of the National Cancer Act of 1971, unimaginable advances have been achieved in every area of childhood cancer care and research. Advanced detection approaches and better treatment strategies are allowing an increasing number of children and adolescents to live beyond their disease. As a result, pediatric cancer survival rates have grown from 20 percent before the 1960s to more than a 75 percent survival rate today.
The Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta currently diagnoses nearly one new patient each day. Some patients have cancers rarely seen outside of the top pediatric centers. Others have the most common cancers that affect children. We have significant experience treating all forms of childhood cancer, including:
Our facilities are designed to meet the unique medical and emotional needs of children and adolescents with cancer and blood disorders. We offer:

The 25-year-old former St Helens and Wakefield forward, who was released by Hull halfway through his two-year contract to ease pressure on their salary cap, has signed a 12-month deal with the Vikings.
"I'm delighted," said Johnson, who will link up with his Hull team-mate Danny Tickle at the Halton Stadium. "This is a really good move for me and I really can't wait to get started.
"Being a local lad, I'm confident that moving back home will show itself in my performances and this is something that played a massive part in my decision to join."
Vikings coach Denis Betts said: "Paul will add a lot of depth to our squad and create a bit more competition within the group, which is always a good thing.
"He's a lad from the St Helens area and a really talented player who has been involved in the top flight for a good few years now and he will certainly make our pool of players much more solid."

Nearly 70 current and retired Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers are visiting legislators and urging them to pass a bill to give them a pay raise.
The troopers gathered at the Capitol Tuesday and encouraged lawmakers to revive a bill that would give a 16 percent pay raise to all Department of Public Safety employees, including troopers.
Under the measure by State Rep. Jeff Hickman (R-Fairview), the entry-level pay for a state trooper would jump from $38,000 to $44,194.
The Oklahoma House has given final approval to a bill meant to make it more challenging for a minor to get an abortion without parental consent. The chamber approved Senate amendments to the bill 82-5 today with no questions or debate.

It's not clear what the cost might be of a bipartisan Senate bill that would give legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants. But today, the conservative Heritage Foundation announced it has the answer. Here's NPR's David Welna.

Oklahoma Congressman Frank Lucas is proposing cutting $20 billion in spending over 10 years for the nation's food stamps program. It is a part of the latest farm bill.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Gov. Mary Fallin has vetoed measures to create a pension improvement revolving fund and a task force to study autism in adults, but signed eight other bills.
Fallin issued two veto messages on Monday, saying she rejected the pension improvement revolving fund because it had no funding mechanism. The governor says she supports the goal of improving the state's pension system but that another bill she signed on Monday has an appropriate funding mechanism.
The cost of getting a driver's license in Oklahoma will go up by about $12 under a bill making its way to Gov. Mary Fallin's desk.
The Senate voted 30-15 on Monday to approve the bill that would increase the cost of issuing or renewing a standard driver's license from $21.50 to $33.50.
The cost of various commercial drivers' licenses also is going up by $10. The new rates will be effective Nov. 1.
The 12-month period from May 2012 to April 2013 was remarkable for the absence of tornado activity and tornado impacts in the United States.
We can start by looking at the number of EF1 and stronger tornadoes during that period. A final count is available through January 2013 and we have a pretty good estimate of how many occurred in February through April, although final numbers won't be available until July. Although the 12 month total may change a little bit with the final data, it's unlikely to change enough to affect the results here.

The Weekly Standard
May 28, 2012
by Ann Marlowe
Sex addiction may not exactly be an existential threat to the United States, but as this book makes clear, the cultural trend which created this farcical "illness" has much graver consequences. The medicalizing of what was hitherto seen as a moral issue and the promotion of a ridiculously broad notion of addiction aren't just silly: In last year's Dominique Strauss-Kahn scandal, the term "sex addict" was tossed around as though it explained something—homely maid walks into hotel room, and boom! Sex addict is ready to go.
David Ley gets at the philosophical heart of the matter: the dualism inherent in the idea that "sex addiction" overrides a person's good impulses and makes them do bad things that aren't really in their nature. "We are what we do," Ley responds. He is squarely in the cognitive psychology camp, urging, "if you want to change how you feel, change what you do." Ley points out that the argument that pornography causes rape, and particularly that the use of Internet porn leads to sexual violence, gets things backwards. Sexual violence has dropped by half since 1993, when web browsing became widely available, and even teen sex, teen pregnancy, and venereal disease rates have fallen. As should be intuitively obvious, people who spend most of their time panting over porn on their computers are less likely to be out in the real world getting in trouble.
Ley's chapter on pornography makes all sorts of reasonable arguments for porn's harmlessness in the context of most mens' lives. But it doesn't address any of the aesthetic issues with porn, most notably the way it has led an entire generation of men to a remarkably uniform and clichéd idea of a "sexy" woman and a "hot" sexual encounter. The problem isn't that porn leads to rape; it's that it leads to banality. And amid the common sense, there is also an annoying strain of valorization of male promiscuity in Ley's work. He proclaims that "infidelity and promiscuity is a fact of human existence and a long-standing component of masculine eroticism":
Rates of last-year male infidelity in Mexico City are around 15 percent, Haitian men at 25 percent, and Mozambique males as high as 29 percent. The African countries of the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, and Togo report rates of last-year male infidelity as high as 36 and 37 percent. .??.??. In Russia, there is an almost universal social acceptance of infidelity. .??.??. In countries where male infidelity is expected, even celebrated culturally, the concept of sex addiction has not taken hold, and male sexual exploits are not seen as a sign of weakness but as a strength.
But Ley somehow never notices that these are spectacularly unsuccessful societies.
With greater persuasiveness, he argues that "sex addiction" is a label placed by (some) women and a feminized culture on more or less normal male desires. He is right to say—though perhaps he says so at excessive length—that "the limits on 'healthy' sexual desire and frequency that are set by sex addictionologists are most similar to the female norms and ignore these gender differences." But he goes overboard in arguing how much men and women supposedly differ in their views on sex: "50 percent of males think about sex more than once a day, compared to only 19 percent of females" is one of the more implausible claims.
For anyone who has cringed once too often at the term "sex addiction"—or questioned the blanket use of "addiction" as an explanation for behavior that is really a matter of moral choice—Ley's demolition of the bad science and worse reasoning behind the sex addiction industry will be refreshing. For a while. This workmanlike, plodding book is no more than serviceably written and, alas, has fewer spicy bits than the reader might have hoped; it is all rather clinical. It also suffers from an inherent defect of books about addiction: rendering one thoroughly tired of the subject matter. Ley, like the addiction advocates, has quite a lot of sex. If a Martian were to read this book, he would have the idea that most Americans spend more time having sex than they do working, shopping, and watching television, and that sex is how most of us define ourselves.
This probably comes with the territory of being a sex expert. But it's a relief to close Ley's brief volume and reemerge into the fresh air of a wider world, where sex is neither a feverish, tawdry addiction nor the central concern of life. There is, in fact, nothing like a book on sex addiction to reduce sex to the status of a tiresome obsession. It makes one nostalgic for the bygone days when sin, rather than addiction, was the framework for looking at illicit sex, when moral failings had the gravitas of Don Giovanni being dragged down to hell versus today's mewling on Oprah.

Make the most of a recycled tissue box. Covered with our printable clock face, it becomes a fun way to teach preschoolers how to tell time.
Watch Blue's Clues every day on Nick Jr.
Recycle or use a new square size tissue box. (Tissues are optional!) Kids can paint and decorate the box first or leave it plain. If painting, be sure to let dry completely before Step 3.
Cut out the clock face, hands, and legs. OPTIONAL: Laminate cut-out pieces at your local copy store for longer play life.
Attach legs to the bottom of the box as shown in the picture, so they jut out from the bottom.
Use a hole punch or utility knife (parents only) to make holes at the rounded bottoms of the hour and minute hands, in the center of Tickety Tock's nose, and in the front of the tissue box where the face will be attached.
With the unopened brad fastener, connect the hour and minute hands to the clock face, and then poke through the front of the tissue box. Reach into the box and open the brad fastener to secure it inside. Use a couple of tape loops on the back of the clock face to keep it in place.
