His beauty just won't quit. The director said they put him in the most unflattering attire, and yet look at this!
Emmy Awards last night. Nope..didn't watch. I wonder what their rating was. Nothing compared with MTVs, which I never watch either until Rob started attending. (And they also started having the highest rating everrr.)
E! News on Wednesday "Everything You Want To Know About Robert Pattinson". When they want their rating to bump up, they put together something about our man. - September 21, 2009 at 1:54 PM

ok, so here's what the article says about Rob (I tried to make it short).
Q: How did you start working with Pattinson?
A: I've been working with the cast director for over a year and a half trying to find the right actor to play Art. Finally the right person came knocking at our door: Rob. He was everything we needed for that part, he read the script and tried to do his best with the rest of the cast. He also had the right 'star' charm to make people go see this movie at theaters. And he was a musician too (a beginner??)
Q: He's having a great success thanks to Twilight, with hordes of fans ripping their clothes off for him (btw, with this movie I think you helped him get rid of the 'teen idol' label). Was it hard having to deal with his fame?
A: I have to say that it's been hard at times, even if you know the real Rob.
Q: Sorry for asking this but... how much did Rob's fame help the success of the movie?
A: A lot! It worked in our favor and gave us the success we needed.
Q: I watched some of the backstage footage and the atmosphere among the cast members seemed pretty friendly.
A: The cast was made up mainly by friends of mine, people I've known and worked with for years. I wanted to create a fun and laid back atmosphere. That's why Rob had such a great time, even though he was probably used to a different kind of working methodology on set. I tried to make them feel like friends, but also paying them, I could tell them what to do. - September 21, 2009 at 3:14 PM

Photos: Vancouver Vaisakhi parade, minus the politicians
The Vancouver Vaisakhi parade this weekend attracted hordes of politicians. Of course, they were not the only ones in attendance at the annual event, which celebrates the spring harvest in India.
To get a glimpse of what Vaisakhi is like for the nonpoliticians, I prepared this photo gallery, which doesn't include any elected officials.
Of course, there's always a chance that the newest member of the Vancouver police board, Daljit Singh Sidhu, will be chosen by Christy Clark to run as the B.C. Liberal candidate in Vancouver-Fraserview in place of Kash Heed. Sidhu, former president of the Punjabi Market Association, has previously been an NPA candidate for Vancouver city council.

Vancouver's Vaisakhi parade pays tribute to the founding of the Khalsa, in which five brave Sikh volunteers were willing to sacrifice their heads at the request of Guru Gobind Singh.Charlie Smith
Members of the Khalsa wear the five Ks: Kesh (uncut hair), Kanga (wooden comb), Kara (metal bracelet). Kachera (specific style of cotton underwear), and a Kirpan (a curved sword or dagger in a strap).Charlie Smith
This year's Vaisakhi parade included a brass band playing near the front of the procession.Charlie Smith

You probably know shepherds as people who herd sheep, but in Mediterranean culture where Chobani comes from, shepherds are first and foremost known for their generosity. A shepherd would give a gift without asking for anything in return: a cup of yogurt, a loaf of bread or even the shirt off their back. That is why a Shepherd's Gift means so much.
This is what inspired Chobani to start the Shepherd's Gift Foundation, because we have realized that the world is still full of shepherds, big and small. You probably even know a few: your mother, a close friend, an organization, someone in your local community or maybe you're a shepherd yourself. The important thing to know is that when you combine the power of all shepherds it will make a real difference in the world.

The sys admin's daily grind: Deborphan
Debian fans appreciate the ability to update their systems to a new release without having to reinstall. The Deborphan tool takes care of the victims of the upgrade by searching for orphaned packages on which no other packages depend.
I must admit, my conscience is troubling me slightly. As far as I can remember, I've never actually reviewed a distribution-specific software tool before today. However, a quick survey of my local LUG revealed that Deborphan is unknown even among long-standing Debian users, so here we go. Debian systems go through various release changes in the course of their lives. If you check out the directories with the libraries in particular, you can't help noticing that many of them are long overdue for retirement. For some reason, Debian just keeps them – you never know when you might need them.

A Content Management System, CMS, helps you manage a Web site without spending a lot of time or money on programming. If you choose the right CMS, you will have a small amount of installation and customisation work then a small update each three or six months. When you choose the wrong CMS you end up with almost as much work and expense as if you created the whole Web site from scratch.
I hear of cases where the wrong CMS wastes more time and money than writing everything yourself. Web site owners spend as much or more than the cost of creating the whole site by hand then throw out the offending CMS and start again with a new CMS or write the whole site by hand. Try before you buy. Buy something that is free so you do not waste money.
What Does a CMS Cost?
CMSs vary in price from free up to way more than a Web site is worth. Web sites are valuable but the content and services provided by the Web site are more valuable than the actual Web site. Your money should be spent on people, content, and service, not software.
Where Do You Start?
Where do you start when selecting a CMS? I recommend starting back beyond the Web site design stage. Start with a Web Architect to work out what you need. Skip past the Web designers as you can worry about the design of the Web site later. Get a genuine Web Architect. The right Web Architect will make sure the CMS selection process and the Web design stage start with the right requirements.
Open Source Versus Proprietary
Open source software gives you freedom of choice. Proprietary software locks you in to one software vendor's design for the future, including that vendor's need to increase revenue. Some proprietary software offers a lot of function but function is often a snake that mesmerises Web site owners in to buying things they do not need. Some functions will turn prospective customers away from your Web site.
You want on your Web site only what your customers want. If you buy anything else then you need a way to turn off the unused functions so that the extra functions do not slow down your customers.
Multiple Brands
Software manufacturers, and the companies owning software manufacturers, often have multiple brands to compete in different markets. they also may have multiple brands in the one market to pretend there is competition in that market. When you buy proprietary software, you may be artificially locked into a limited product in an attempt to force you into buying a different and more expensive brand from the same company or another subsidiary.
Open source software lets you change any time you want with no limitations.
Forced Buying
Ask your sales and marketing people about forced buying. Forced buying is when you are forced to buy a product you do not need or want in order to obtain the product you want. An example is the Google Chrome operating system where your data is stored by Google wherever they want even if you do not want them controlling your data. The Google approach with Chrome is probably illegal in most countries with privacy laws because you have no control over the data you collect from your customers. The Google Chrome approach almost certainly breaches your privacy agreements with your customers because Google is not part of those agreements.
Some CMS products come with forced buying of installation services, training, support, and hosting. Open source gives you independent control over all those areas.

In my Own Humble Opinion, the Subaru Leone Gen III (a.k.a: GL, DL, RX, RS, EA82, Omega, Winner, Loyale and even as Isuzu Gemminett II, depending on the Market) has its Weakest Part in the Rear Shock Absorbers. No Matter How Careful I Drive, if I Hit a Pothole with some Load on the Car, is almost sure that a Rear Shock Absorber will say Good Bye...
Those are somehow, the "Achilles Heel" of the Subie:
I've Been part of this Great Club since year 2001 and in this Year 2010 I almost reach Ten Years here and my 1985 Subaru "BumbleBeast" Wagon EA82 almost 25 Years Old being with me... During this 25 Years Relationship with my Subie, Drivin' & Fixin' it; I've Learned a Lot (mainly here, in this Awesome Website) about how to fix & improve many Things, but I personally have Discovered by myself, other many Things about those older subie Models, That I've Shared with you, like the following suspension ideas...
A Brief background history on those Rear Shock Absorbers: Initially, Subaru did two different Rear Shock Absorbers for the EA82, I Learned that the 2WD (FWD) Models' Shock Absorbers, makes the Subie to Sit two inches (2") Lower than the 4WD (AWD) ones, because the Base Plate (Perch) for the Coil Spring is Welded two inches Lower on the Shock Absorber's Body, and both models used the Same Coil Spring.
Then Subaru Suddenly changed the Production of those two, for one "Universal" Rear Shock absorber, which featured Adjustable Base for the Coil Springs, so you can place it Up or Down (2" of Difference) and also included a "Middle" (1") Position; Despite the Coil Spring's Base position, the Total damper travel of those "Universal" Subaru Rear Shock absorbers, is 160 mm / 6.3" inches.
Here is a Photo of the Subaru's "Universal" Rear Shock Absorber with Part Number:
The Subaru Part Number for the Spring Coil's Base (seat) is: 21025GA230 ... Sold Separately.
But those Rear Shock Absorbers are Still Weak to handle our Horrid Roads, plenty of Potholes -and even Potholes inside the Potholes- with my Loaded Subaru "BumbleBeast", especially during my Usual offroad Weekend Mountain Travels; and I wanted my Subie to be Taller without a Lift kit in the Rear...
So this is my Collection of Easy Suspension Improvements:
intended Not for more Comfort, but for more Capability and Long Lasting Parts, using parts from other Car Brands and giving a more Firm & Sporty Feelin' ~ and Great Off Road Duty. This writeup includes Modifications for Front & Rear Suspension, in two parts.
Remember: Use this information at your Own Risk!
Part Nº 1:
How to Improve the Rear Suspension:
First I Needed Stronger Coil Springs for the Rear of my Wagon, because Usually I Travel with it Fully Loaded and many people in our very Bad Roads; also I do many Weekend "Mountain Adventure" Family Travels offroading; So I Took with me one of the Old Rear coil springs and went to search for a better one to The Local Junk Yards.
By that way, I found that the Subie's Rear Coil Springs are almost the Same Size, Tall and Wide than the Honda Accord's Front Coil Springs (1986 ~ 1989) but the Honda ones are Thicker and has Two More Turns than the Subie ones; so I Swapped the Rear Subaru Coil Springs with the Honda Front ones; it Makes the Subie More Capable to Manage the extra Weight when is Loaded, without going too low; also the Honda's Coil Springs does Lift the Subaru's Rear in two inches (2") and its Movement & Handling while Driving in Unpavemented Roads / Pot Holes, becomes Firmer and Sportier.
The Front Honda's Coil Springs that Fits on the Subaru's Rear, came from the 1986 ~ 1989 Honda Accord, (The Prelude from that Era has them too) it could come either from the Manual or Automatic, With or Without A/C, but Keep in mind that the Hondas with manual trans and without AC, does have weaker Coil Springs than the Hondas with Auto Trans and A/C, so I chose the Stiffer ones.
The Part Number for the Honda's Coil Springs, is:
~► MOOG CC248 for "Moog" Brand.
~► NCP 2775298 for "Napa" Brand.
So, How to get Rid of those weak Rear Shock Absorbers?
My Subie was in dire need of Stronger Rear Shock Absorbers for Sure,
so after Searchin' a Lot ... I Found This Solution:
To Swap the Toyota 4Runner's Front Shock Absorbers
in the Place of the Subaru's Rear ones!
As you can See in the Pictures, the 4Runner ones are the Same extended Tall than the Subie Ones; Also the 4Runner ones has the Same Wide Base for the Coil Spring and they use almost the Same Design; But the 4Runner Ones are Thicker and Heavier, more Capable to manage the Stress of Riding in my Crazy Country Roads with a Fully Loaded Subaru Wagon.
The Subie Ones had their Threaded top of Nº 10 mm and the Hole opening on their Base is for a Nº 10 mm Screw; While the 4Runner ones has them Nº 12 mm Screws; So the Subie's Nut on the Base for Nº 10 mm Screw had to be Removed in order to Use a Pass-Thru Nº 12 mm Screw with its own Nut.
The Subie's Part for the Shock Absorber's Top shall be Modified too, in order to Accept the Nº 12 mm Screw Size instead the Older Nº 10 mm One... I Just made the Hole Larger; pretty easy!
For Those who want the 4Runner's Shock Absorber Part Number, it is:
in KYB (Kayaba) Japanese Brand
The salesman from the Aftermarket parts store where I purchased those KYB 341232 Shock absorbers, said that those are for the Front of a Toyota 4Runner for the 1998 model year; However, Toyota used the same platform and shared these shock absorbers in the Hi-Lux Surf, and the Land Cruiser Prado (J90) Which is a very Popular car here, in LADM (Latin American Domestic Market).
The Following is a Screen Caption of a website that I Saved long time ago, where you can find the Original Toyota's Part Numbers for their OEM Shock Absorbers...
...which are the Same KYB 341232 that I Used in the Rear of my "BumbleBeast"
According to online databases, it does interchange with:
~► Monroe D8344
~► Sachs 230631
I Tested the KYB 341232 only, any other Toyota Shock Absorber could be "Visually" Identical, but might have some differences, such like even shorter travel, Harder ride, Thicker Body, etc... So I Kindly suggest you to Stick to the KYB Part Number I Provided, I can not guarantee to work the other ones...
My Subaru "BumbleBeast" Runs very well with those
Toyota Shock Absorbers + Honda Coil Springs in the Rear since years ago...
...despite that they has only 4.3" of total damper Travel
(as I wrote above, the Subaru rear Shock Absorbers has 6.3")
But that shorter travel is not an issue, because the Coil Springs won't let it go down more than 4" under compression, and the total expanded -extended- lenght is Equal to the Subaru's ones, as you can see in the photos above.
► IMPORTANT NOTE: You can use the 4Runner's shocks along with the subaru coil springs, to keep the original height of the suspension, if you use the Honda coil springs, the rear suspension will be lifted two inches (2"), stressing the angle of the rear axles in 4WD (AWD) models only. The 2WD (FWD) models doesn't have any problem with that configuration.
Since Those front Honda Coil Springs does Lift the Subaru's Rear two inches (2"); after that Swap, I had to Lift the front of my "BumbleBeast" an equal amount, as you can read ~► Here.
Part Nº 2:
How to Improve the Front Suspension:
The 4WD (AWD) Shock Absorbers has a 5.75" / 147 mm in Total damper travel, While 2WD (FWD) Shock Absorbers has a 6.12" / 155 mm in Total damper travel. I couldn't find any 2WD (FWD) Shock absorbers locally, So I installed into my "BumbleBeast", New Monroe Front Shock Absorbers; this are their part Numbers:
Passenger Side: ~► 71876
.................Driver Side: ~► 71877
Next, I wanted to install Firmer Coil Springs for the Front of my Subaru, as I already did on the Rear...
Originally I searched for stiffer Coil Springs for the Front of the Subaru around the year 2000; Because my 2.7 Wagon had the Heavyweighted ER27 engine, plus a Fiberglass & Metal sheet Reinforced Front Bumper; I Needed Something Stronger than the EA82's coil Springs to hold better that much weight.
So I Took with me, one of the Old Front coil springs and went to search to The Local Junk Yards...
By the way, the Local Junk Yards, called here "Yonkers", doesn't carry complete cars, they have classified parts areas such like: Doors' Area, Engines' Area, Seats' Area, transmissions' Area, etc... as you can see pictures ~► Here.
I Searched among a Pile of Strut assemblies in the Suspensions' Area, comparing each coil to the one I had on my Hand, taken from my Subie; that way I Found by myself that the Tempo coil Springs looked almost identical to the Subaru ones, they had around two more Turns and a were li'l more thicker.
Since I Found those Tempo Coil springs already taken outside their car, they only had a Mark done with white paint marker on them, that said: '94 Tempo.
But it is interesting that since the damage done to my 2.7 wagon (More info, ~► Here) I Removed certain parts from it to make my EA82 Weberized Wagon (Now My BumbleBeast) a Better car with the Better parts from the Two; that included the Tempo Springs.
So, I installed those Tempo's Coil Springs on my "BumbleBeast" and that adds to the Front Suspension the Same Firm & Sporty Feeling that the Rear suspension obtained with the Above written Modifications.
► IMPORTANT NOTE: The Ford Tempo Coil Spring total radius -diameter- is Half inch (½") smaller than the Subaru one, but that is not a problem, I Drive my Subaru "BumbleBeast" with them since Years ago and they doesn't "Shift" nor make any clunk noise.
The Front coil Springs came off a 1990's "Second Gen" Ford Tempo with in-line 4 Cylinder engine, Those are "Non-Progressive" Coils, so they measure the Same between each turn. I searched on internet for The Part Number for those Ford Tempo Front Coil Springs,
So it should be:
~► MOOG CC854 for "Moog" Brand.
~► NCP 2775375 for "Napa" Brand.
► IMPORTANT NOTE: The Tempo Coil Springs I used came from a used car found in a Local Junk Yard, so they were not as Stiff as brand New coil Springs and I didn't had any fitment problems; but People who has brought those Coil Spring brand new, had to Trim them up to 1.5 Turns, especially the Moog CC856 because those are "Progressive" so they has different spaces between coils and they're intended for a V6 Tempo and are even Stiffer than the Moog CC854 I Used, so I don't recommend to use those, they're too stiff for the Subaru.
So, for those who are interested in Improving the Suspension of their Subies (Specially for Off-Roading), let me Tell you again that this Mods are intended for a More Rude Use and Longer Lasting Parts; not for Confort; so be adviced that the Ride will become Harder...
To Drive my Modified Subie with those 4Runner Shock Absorbers + Accord's Coil Springs in the Rear, and the Subaru 4WD Shock Absorbers + the Tempo's Coil Springs in the Front, Changes the Handling & Feeling of the Subie just like Driving a Police Car after being Driving the Civil Version of it before.
I've Test Drove it Unloaded and Loaded, even at 160 KPH (100 MPH) in Bad Pavemented Roads and it Feels Great, but is Pretty Hard to be a "Family Wagon" anymore.

33 Tips for a Flat Stomach
Stubborn belly bulge will never, ever be your friend. Here are a slew of surprising tummy facts that could change the way you blast fat forever, along with easy ab-toning moves that you can do in front of your TV. Plus, see yourself a size smaller in our Virtual Weight-Loss Simulator.
Why You Need Abs
Fab Abs = Better Health
Genetic Factors
Weight Train
University of Pennsylvania researchers tracked 164 women and found that those who lifted weights for an hour twice a week lost 15 percent more abdominal fat than those who didn't. They also cut their total body fat by almost four percent. (by GoodHousekeeping.com)
Cut Back on Sodium
Beat the Bloat
Your diet and exercise regimens work hand-in-hand so make sure you avoid belly-bloating foods on days you want a tight tummy. Here are two to know:
Sorbitol, a sugar found naturally in fruits, (apples, pears, peaches, prunes), as well as in artificial sweeteners, many dietetic foods, and sugar-free candies and gums.
Starches, including potatoes, corn, rice, bread, noodles and any products made from flour. These produce more gas as they are broken down in the large intestine.
More Belly Bloaters
Legumes have a complex structure of starch and protein and therefore can cause bloating and gas. Soaking and cooking them well helps to reduce bloating.
Fiber, both soluble and insoluble. If you are trying to increase your fiber intake through diet or supplements, do this slowly and ensure you are adequately hydrated. Increasing your intake too quickly can lead to bloating, cramping, and/or constipation.
Avoid Carbonation
Get Some Sleep
Sleepless nights mean stressful days, which can lead to emotional-eating binges. What's more, researchers from the University of Chicago Medical Center tracked 12 healthy males and found that those who got only four hours of rest at night had a 23 percent increase in appetite. So strive for at least seven hours of sleep a night. (by GoodHousekeeping.com)

Stress and Temperament
Getting riled raises levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) in your body, and that increase can cause you to gain weight. Plus, research suggests that the angrier you get and the more frequently you get angry the more likely you'll be to put on pounds around your waist. (Hostility also ups your risks of cardiovascular problems.) So the next time someone pushes your button, take 10 deep breaths and ask yourself, Is this really that big a deal?

Time Well Spent
Matthew McConaughey may have you thinking differently, but a good ab workout doesn't need to take long. "I trained Jennifer Aniston about three days a week, and we did no more than five minutes of abs each time, says Kathy Kaehler, trainer and author of Kathy Kaehler's Celebrity Workouts. "Check your form, don't use momentum, and focus on quality rather than quantity." (by MarieClaire.com)

Rest and Recovery
Don't Forget Cardio
Half Hour of Power
To show off the abs of steel you've been building, 30 minutes of cardio gets you further than 30 minutes of crunches. To burn off the layer of fat that's hiding your muscles, ab-specific contractions just don't do the trick, says Len Kravitz, Ph.D., professor of exercise physiology at the University of New Mexico. Ab moves burn about two to six calories per minute, while cardio blasts 10 or 12. (by MarieClaire.com)
Maximize Your Results
Get twice the results in half the time: Slow down a little. Take four counts to come up and four counts to come back down. At the hardest part of each crunch, do five to 10 small pulses. You'll get the body you want faster by doing 10 slow repetitions instead of 20 fast ones. Moving slowly two counts up and two counts down allows you to use more precise form, which can stimulate your muscles better and make them stronger, says Rodney Corn of the National Academy of Sports Medicine. (The faster you go, the more likely you are to use momentum instead of your abs.) Your muscles should feel tired in 15 reps. (by MarieClaire.com)
Shake It Up
Get on the Ball
Small Steps
Keep your movements small: This isolates your abs and prevents other muscles from doing the work.
Speaking of small, check out 10 Shortcuts for Amazing Abs.
Partner Up
Work all of your ab muscles by lying on your back (knees bent, feet flat on the floor) and having a partner throw a medicine ball to you in different directions straight at you, to your left, to your right. Catch the ball by moving only your torso and arms. Toss the ball back to your partner. DO: Two sets of 20 repetitions, two to three times a week. (by MarieClaire.com)
Hanging Leg Raises
Don't Be So Fancy
The standard crunch can pack major benefits if done correctly. Contract your abs, while letting your head, upper back, and shoulders come off the floor all in one motion. Keep your face pointed to the ceiling, always moving toward the ceiling instead of your knees, being careful not to pull on your head with your hands. Hold and squeeze for a moment at the top, then slowly return to the starting position. (by MarieClaire.com)
Make Over Your Crunch
Your abs are just like your biceps to make them stronger and tighter, you don't need to necessarily do more reps. Try adding a three- to five-pound weight and place it behind your head or on your chest, then do one set of eight to 15 sit-ups, working up to more sets as you get stronger. (by MarieClaire.com)
Work On Posture
Balance out your exercises and posture by working on your back as well to make your abs look slimmer. Lie facedown on the floor, arms extended above your head. Use your back to lift your arms and legs a few inches off the floor. Release, then repeat. (by MarieClaire.com)
Reverse Crunches
Try reverse crunches with a lift to slim your midsection: "Since skintight dresses show the pooch, I suggest doing a lot of reverse crunches with a lift," says Ramona Braganza, who's sculpted the lean bods of Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, and Jessica Biel. Lie on your back, knees pulled up to chest and hands under your butt to support your lower back. Uncurl legs straight out, keeping them six inches from the floor. (Don't let them touch the ground!) Lift legs straight up so that they're perpendicular to the floor and add a small lift of your butt. Curl legs back into the start position. Do three sets of 10. (by MarieClaire.com)

Bicycle Exercise for Abs
Lie on the floor with your fingertips behind your head. Bend your knees and raise your legs above your hips, calves parallel to the floor. Bring one elbow to the opposite knee while pressing the other leg away from your body at a 45-degree angle. Alternate sides. Beginner tip: Start with both feet on the floor. As you bring one elbow across, bring the opposite knee up to meet it, then put it back down and repeat on the other side. (by MarieClaire.com)

Marine Crunches
Lie on your back with your legs raised straight above your hips and your arms reaching to the ceiling. Simultaneously reach your fingertips toward your toes and press your feet toward the ceiling to lift your tailbone off the floor. Beginner tip: Instead of lifting your feet and hands together, alternate between lifting the upper body and the hips. (by MarieClaire.com)
See yourself a size smaller in our Virtual Weight Loss Simulator.
Side Planks
Lie on one side with your knees bent and your forearm on the floor. Keep your elbow in line with your shoulder. Press your weight into your elbow and lift your hips and upper body off the floor so you make a straight line from knee to head. Hold for as long as you can try 10 to 20 seconds at first; build up to a minute. Switch sides. As you get stronger, try straightening the arm, straightening the legs and then straightening both.

Rockette Moves
Start by lying on your back with your hands laced behind your head and your legs straight up, perpendicular to your waist. Pull your abs down toward the floor and lift your head and shoulders up toward the ceiling. Then lower one leg down and bring your opposite shoulder toward that thigh. Alternate for 20 to 40 reps and you'll slip right into your skinny jeans! (by MarieClaire.com)

To work your horizontal ab muscles, lie on your back and bend your knees at an (almost) 90-degree angle with the floor, raising your feet slightly higher than your knees. Exhale, lift your butt, and roll back to your shoulder blades. Inhale and roll to your tailbone, then stop (don't let your butt touch the ground). Repeat 20 times. (by MarieClaire.com)

Cross Crunches
To work your waist, grab a liter bottle of water and lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle with the floor. Cradle your left hand behind your head.

Switch sides and repeat. (by MarieClaire.com)

Tailbone Lifts
To work your lower ab muscles, lie on your back, arms stretched straight over your head and legs fully extended and crossed in the air. Exhale and lift your tailbone, then slowly lower as you inhale (don't just drop resist on the way down). Repeat 30 times. (by MarieClaire.com)
Inverted Crunches
To work your lower back, lie on your stomach, arms in front of you as if flying. Exhale and lift just your right arm and left leg as high as you can. Inhale and lower. Then switch, lifting your left arm and right leg. Alternate, doing 20 lifts on each side. Finally, lift both arms and legs 20 times. (by MarieClaire.com)

Minnesota's budget
Arts leaders perplexed by cuts to State Arts Board
by Euan Kerr, Minnesota Public RadioSt. Paul, Minn. — Leaders of the lobbying group Minnesota Citizens for the Arts say they are confused by Governor Pawlenty's budget proposal for arts funding.
Pawlenty said today he wants to zero out funding to the State Arts Board and convert it from a state agency to a private non-profit.
MCA president Sheila Smith says she doesn't see what would be gained by the move.
"We can't quite tell what the point of that is, because it seems the state arts board would still be spending largely public dollars. So an action such as this might conflict with the accountability and transparency that you would want in the use of tax dollars. So I find his proposal perplexing," Smith said.
The Pawlenty proposal would reduce the Arts Board funding by a third in 2009 to about $7 million, then to about $3.5 million in 2010, and zero the year after.
The state arts board was expected to handle distribution of money from a new state sales tax, although that issue is now before the legislature.

Video News
Great turn out for Llandissilio's Ras Sion Corn
6:24pm Monday 15th December 2008 in Video News
Nearly 200 Santas hot footed it around Llandissilio yesterday (Sunday) in the village's third annual Santa run or Ras Sion Corn.
The run was held to raise money for three worthwhile causes: Ty Hafan Children's Hospice in Wales, Neyland's Hope Center and the Llandisilio hall redevelopment fund.
Resplendent in red Santa suits, and with a few doggy Rudolphs in tow, the 198 runners successfully completed the 5km course around the outskirts of the village starting and finishing at the school.
"It's a lovely scenic run," said race organiser Rob Phillips. " The course meets the requirements of all runners, you can walk or even crawl around it and there are two or three pubs on the way if you need some refreshments."
The main race was preceded by children's races, accompanied by Milford Haven Brass Band who got the crowd in the mood with their repetoire of Christmas music.
Winning Santa was Alex Matchett, who completed the course in an impressive 17 minutes 43 seconds. He was closely followed by Marc Beazley and Megan Withers who both made the run in just over 18 minutes.
"I'm pleased," said Alex. "I didn't expect to win so I'm very pleased. My running philosophy was "get to the end and it will all be over"".
The race has raised a total of £15,000 for charity in the last two years and organisers hope that yesterday's run will have raised at least £2000. They are asking for all Santa to return their sponsorship money as soon as possible.
Phil Thomas from Ty Hafan described the mood at the event as "out of this world".
"It feels like Christmas," he said. "There's just a terrific Christmas goodwill atmosphere."
Log on later for a video of the race.

March 10, 2011 Israeli food event in Spain canceled over terror threat |
An Israeli food event in Spain was canceled after threats from a Basque terror group. Israeli food month in the tourist city of Hondarribia, in the Basque region of Spain, was scheduled to begin Wednesday. It was canceled last week following threats from the ETA terror group, which supports the Palestinian struggle against what it calls "Israeli occupation," Yediot Achronot reported. The project, which would have sent four leading Israeli chefs to cook Israeli gourmet food in two restaurants, was organized by the Israeli Embassy in Madrid. In phone calls to the restaurants, ETA told the owners that if the Israeli chefs came it would harm the restaurants. The threat caused the owners to refuse to host the event, according to the Israeli newspaper. |

Aloe Blacc at Lollapalooza 2012 | Photos and music review
The south stage at Lollapalooza has always been a winner for soul music. Some of my favorite fest memories include Raphael Saadiq's run there in 2010, and Fitz & The Tantrums triumphant turn last year. Fest programmers seem to get it and this year they awarded the coveted main stage slot to rising crooner Aloe Blacc. Following a traditional lead-in from his horn-adorned backup band, the Grand Scheme, Blacc strutted out looking suave in dark blue jeans, a black blazer and aviator shades under a white cap. People quickly put their hands together for the singer's sunny R&B brew, as Blacc's mellifluous pipes coated us like a cool balm under the punishing sun. No question the man's a smooth operator, wearing his influences on his sleeve as the band quoted Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City." A little bit later bits of the Temptations' "My Girl" and Curtis Mayfield's "Diamond in the Back" made their way into a medley of influences before the singer steered the tune back into his own "Green Lights." (Like Mayer Hawthorne, there's barely any trace left of Aloe Blacc's former career as an underground rapper). His occasionally beefy, thoroughly contemporary blend of retro and modern sounds isn't quite as convincing as Saadiq or Fitz, but he's got a personality that makes up for any deficit in that department. Working mostly from 2010's Good Things, the singer tried to stir up a soul train at one point. The closest thing I saw was a group of dudes in tuxedo "morphsuits" pounding beers, and nearby a group of bros hoisting contraband bottles of rum and vodka into the air. Eventually Blacc brought us to his hit, "I Need a Dollar," a sentiment most of us could get behind. How to Make It in America, the HBO show that made him a name, may have been canceled, but the singer's come out on top. Here he was following Curtis's advice to a T, diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean.

NEW ORLEANS - Authorities in Louisiana are investigating the murder of a Colonie High School graduate.
27-year-old Lauren Tanski was found beaten and strangled inside her New Orleans home Monday morning.
She graduated from SUNY Cobleskill in 2006 and also spent time living in Cohoes.
Police don't have any suspects yet, but are looking for a man they believe has "critical information" about her murder.

ATES Sdn Bhd and Beta Tegap Sdn Bhd, which has denied rumours it is linked to MCA, will spend between RM300 million to RM400 million each to set up traffic cameras at 831 "black spots" nationwide in a move which some in the police force view as an encroachment into their turf, according to The Edge.
ATES Sdn Bhd's director Chee Chwee Cheong is also a founding partner of influential advisory house Ethos Consulting headed by Omar Mustapha, a former special officer to Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
"Those who are happy say the police can now focus on policing but imagine if your role is that of a traffic police officer. What will your role be now that you have these cameras?" the business weekly quoted a source close to the deal.
But RTD director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan told the newspaper the system will only be set up in areas with high incidences of fatal accidents.
"About 6,000 people die in road accidents every year. That's quite alarming. That is only the fatal accident figures. What about other non-fatal accidents?" he was quoted as saying.
However, The Edge reported that the police is said to be firming up plans to boost its own traffic camera system.
According to the weekly, each company will likely issue 10 million valid summonses over a five-year period from which all paid summonses will be deposited into a fund from which the firms will recoup their investment.
ATES, which has denied Omar's involvement in the project, and Beta Tegap will be paid via a three-tier system that the newspaper says will allow them to recoup more than a 17 per cent rate of return, fuelling talk of sweetheart deals.
But Solah told The Edge both companies must return the excess to the government if they exceed a 17 per cent internal rate of return (IRR).
Each company is entitled to RM16 per valid summons for the first five million issued and then split the remaining revenue evenly with the government up to a cap of RM270 million each.
Both firms will each receive 7.5 per cent from the remaining revenue and the government will keep the rest.
The Edge estimated that half the summonses, each carrying a penalty of RM300, will be paid, resulting in a fund size of RM1.5 billion per company. This would amount to RM416 million paid to each contractor.
This would be a handsome return if the companies manage to keep costs closer to RM300 million, even if the entire investment is written down after the five-year concession.
The RTD says unpaid traffic summonses between 2005 to 2009 amounts to RM5.8 billion.

From left: Gerhard Aichhorn (Managing Director of Samson Druck), Franz Harreither (Corporate Partner at Samson Druck), Michael Thüler (member of Muller Martini corporate management), Werner Kuhlbörsch (Sales Manager at Muller Martini) and Peter Cerer (Product Manager at Muller Martini Austria) in front of the new Alegro perfect binder at Muller Martini's booth at the drupa in Düsseldorf.
Samson Druck, which has relied on Muller Martini solutions for saddle stitching since 1989 and whose most recent investment was a Primera C140 last year, had previously outsourced the perfect binding of their products. However, the company, which was founded in 1978 and has 90 employees, had four main reasons to enter softcover production itself, according to Managing Director Gerhard Aichhorn: "First of all, the number of jobs we receive has increased. Second, we want to keep our value added in-house. Third, this way, we are able to provide optimal quality. Fourth, we can now also control our logistics better."
It should be pointed out that Samson Druck specializes in high-quality products for various industries, in particular the automobile and jewelry industries. "There is a clear trend towards perfect binding," says Corporate Partner Franz Harreither. "On the other hand, deadlines are constantly becoming shorter, which means that the production processes have to be optimized."
Connex Optimizes the ProcessesAfter a convincing special presentation at the Muller Martini Book Binding Academy in Felben, Switzerland, focusing on faster setup times, Samson Druck decided in favor of a new Alegro perfect binder during this year's drupa in Düsseldorf. The Alegro features a new 3694 gathering machine, a Solit three-knife trimmer and a CB 18 book stacker, as well as a Connex data and process management system. With Connex, it is possible to optimally automate all Muller Martini systems, from a standalone machine to complex production lines. Thanks to this standardization, all machines can communicate with each other and, using Connex, can also be connected to a management information system (MIS). "This is an important aspect for us, as we already have a MIS system in operation," emphasized Aichhorn. The new Alegro will be commissioned this September.

Glauber, thanks for the notice. Are you associated with Prairie Home Compnion? or with a radio station that broadcasts the program?
No, i just signed for their newsletter. I don't remember where, but it was probably in their Web site.
That was a good show - I'll definitely tune in for the rebroadcast.
I heard some of it. It was as good as i expected, especially Doc (who really must be the best guitar player currently alive in the US!). What amazes me the most is that having people of that caliber, Garrison, bless his heart, still finds the courage to sing!
PHC #gets re-edited to an hour and put up on BBC Radio 7 #as
Garrison Keillor's Radio Show # [real audio stream archive]
for 6 days, takes quite a few weeks to get there, theres a san diego califonia venue show up now...
17 jan, 04, I guess.. Ahhnold just got installed in Sacto.

Well O.K. I guess I'm missing somthing here.I couldnt stand the show and turned it off after the first 30 min.Yeah Doc and Sam are great but Sam doing Crossroads(come on,just stop it)!The most annoying thing for me was having to endure what seemed like an hour of some guy banging on a piano doing some vaudville comedy routine.What a disappointment,I waited all day for it.Oh well.
Prairie Home Companion is very much a regional (if not "acquired") taste. Folks in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Midwest, and the Plains seem to dig this sort of understated, self-depreciating humor. (I keep my personal opinions to myself, as being from Nebraska, most of my kin are fans...)
Nonetheless, you have to give Keillor credit as an advocate for acoustic music. He regularly features such guests as Robin & Linda Williams, Peter Ostroushka, Nickle Creek, Alison Krause, Ralph Stanley, Norman Blake, Gillian Welch, let alone such legends as Chet Atkins and Jethro Burns who time ago were quite frequent on the show.
Yeah, I get weary of Garrison's singing, and his overt political sub-agenda last election caused me to turn off the dial for more than six months, but all in all, PHC is a very good thing. It's a historical voice for a very important segment of American Culture.
I guess some of us don't quite get the Red Green Show, Benny Hill, Fear Factor, or Hee Haw, either. Not anything wrong with them at all; I just don't "get it."

Yes, Midwest, very much so. [...] The show has an ethos that favours rugged (and excentric) individualism. [...]Originally Posted by (mandohack @ July 10 2005, 09:31)
Someone should tell Garrison not to sing, but it's his show, so i guess he's entitled. The long bits of storytelling are actually pretty good, if you can commit the time to sit down and listen (not always an easy thing to do).
(Edited to take out some political stuff.)
I for one wish Garrison would resist the impulse to sing but of course it's his show.
Steve Davis
I should really be practicing instead of sitting in front of the computer.
Its funny that the folks in the Red states accused everyone else of being 'Reds ' for decades..
and now the less than honorable sen. J. McCarthy was a person from where, ??
purplenness is the rest of us..
writing about music

I kinda see both sides of Garrison's singing -
on the one hand, he often writes amusing new words to traditional songs, and it seems appropriate that he sing his own work solo...it's usually either witty or hearfelt...
on the other hand, he frequently imposes himself on other singers apparently because he just can't resist singing with "stars"...I recall seeing mandolinist Peter Ostroushko in concert about 10 years ago, shortly after he left PHC (Peter used to lead the PHC band weekly like the pianist Butch does now) and Peter O. publicly said that Garrison's intrusive vocals were a major pain for many musicians involved with the show...
Since then I've noted with interest which vocalists do NOT share a duet with G.K. and figure that those folks (and there aren't many of them) are both too accomplished and too principled to submit to his pressure...
[QUOTE]Prairie Home Companion is very much a regional (if not "acquired") taste. Folks in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Midwest, and the Plains seem to dig this sort of understated, self-depreciating humor.
I don't know about that. PHC is carried all over the country. Live PHC shows in SC have always sold out, and I would bet they do elsewhere. I love the stories, but don't care for Garrison's singing--I notice he didn't impose himself on Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver when they were guests a while back!
Really enjoyed PHC in the 80's when Jethro Burns and Johnny Gimble were on fairly often, and Peter O was a regular.
Russ Jordan
Funny to hear others comment on GK's singing.
I've felt the same way for years!
Well, I don't suppose anyone else will take up for Garrison Keillor's singing so I sorta will. I would not want to listen to him sing for the sake of listening to him, but in the context of his show I think he is fine.
FWIW, I prefer his singing to almost any of the old time bluegrass singers. I like the bluegrass instrumentals, but not many of the vocals.
Bill Snyder
It was good to hear Sam on fiddle with Doc, something he doesn't do much of these days.
Anyone tape it? (For personal use, of course...)
I've always enjoyed PHC. It's a bit "camp" sometimes but it sure is a refreshing break from the garbage that clogs Phila's radio waves.
Wye Knot
For quite a while PHC was broadcast from Town Hall in NYC- and they still regularly put it on there. #I guess there are Midwestern sensibilities everywhere - and lots of Blue in all of the Red (and vice versa, lest I be accused of inserting politics). #I like the music, tolerate Garrison's voice, and LOVE the annual joke show!Originally Posted by (mandohack @ July 10 2005, 09:31)

Kudos to PHC - there are not many "live" radio variety shows in the vein of the old classics; music, comedy, narratives, etc. It's hard to imagine the amount of logistics involved to perform the show live and also take it on the road. I usually don't go out of my way to listen, but if it's on, I'll tune in.
.....;Originally Posted by
Yes, you are hereby sentenced to 90 mins of relaxed humor and music.
PHC is fun. Almost every time I listen there is a musician, familiar or not, that I really enjoy, Garrison sings better than he once did; I don't think he takes it too seriously, nor do the the singers who duet with him. He has an appreciation for traditional and old-time music, which I really like. There are mighty few opportunities to hear that on the radio. Plus, it's cool to hear Sam Bush taking a fiddle break on the Powdermilk Biscuit theme tune.
What color is old-time music, by the way?
Jeff Rohrbough
"Listen louder, play softer"
" What color is old-time music, by the way? "
Isn't all that old stuff in Black and White?
PHC is a lot like Bluegrass or Old-Timey music. The show represents a style of radio that has been lost or abandonded over the years ... in favor of more sterile stuff that has probably has better singing and slicker production.
- Benig
I get it. PHC is one of the best ways I can think of to put the brakes on at the end of the week, sit back and relax, and re-establish contact with some of the more meaningful things in life.
..ha..you wanna talk about brakes....had a total job done today.....rotors, drums..etc...$672.00 later..its fixed....now back to the subject..I do like PHC alot...Originally Posted by (Ken @ July 12 2005, 20:19)
When we aren't working, when 5:00 pm Saturday rolls around, we are listening to Garrison. #Have for over 15 years and really enjoy listening to the great music, funny yarns and yes, his singing voice is ok with me.
I don't suppose this it would be the time to say I've also read all his books. #

I'd love to hear from you, what you think would be the perfect gift to a new mum.
My girlfriend has just had her second baby boy, two years apart. She doesn't really need anything for the baby, so I wanted to give a gift aimed at just her. Something different to a voucher for a massage or pedicure.
When I had my second baby girl, one year apart, she gave our family a gorgeous picnic basket for family picnics. Such a great idea.
I just wish I could think of the great idea in return for them.
Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
for mum, perhaps a magazine subscription? with a king size block of chocolate? or one of those "baby's first year' or 'first 5 years' books to record all the milestones for the new arrival?
i actually received a RECORDABLE MEMORY ALBUM...these albums, you just add photos and can add your voice (yes it actually has a little voice recorder and buttons on the inside)... you can record things like: how u felt when baby said his/her first word, who the baby most resembles etc etc. im sure you can get them in gift/card shops.
i really like bpdenton's suggestions of a slow cooker/photo voucher too :)good luck :)

They're for breast feeding when you have sore nipples. I looked at their website www.petitebisou.com.au and it says the shells are hand crafted in Paris. I wish someone had given me a pair.

Welders and other workers at The Roberts Co. in Winterville, N.C.--part of this year's FAB 40 list of successful contract fabricators--are used to signing secrecy agreements from customers. Dave Staskelunas, the company's vice president of fabrication services, said that more and more customers are requiring workers to keep quiet as they weld and form proprietary materials or designs. These designs aren't patented, either. The risk of someone else coming out with the idea is probably less than someone outright stealing it during the drawn-out patent application process.
As a recent Bloomberg article aptly put it, the U.S. patent system "gives inventors a limited monopoly on their ideas in exchange for revealing them to the world so that others can build on them."

CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 06/22/2008: Americans aren't always greeted with open arms when traveling abroad. That could be because open arms aren't polite in that particular country, or it could be that we're perceived as louts and the people there don't want to hug us. It's your mission to find out.
The travel Web site Vayama.com surveyed U.S. travelers, about half of whom said they have committed social sins in other countries, and about the same number said they simply force their American customs on others, not bothering to find out if you're supposed to let the oldest guy in the room start eating first (Kenya).

User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
The missing ingredient to a good nights sleep! Very comfortable, accommodates many sleeping positions. I was worried about buying a pillow online that I couldn't feel first, but not to worry. Great buy for the money...
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
This pillow is amazing! I began having back aches earlier in this pregnancy than my first (16 weeks). I ended up sleeping the last 3 hours of each night in a reclining chair. I purchased this pillow praying it would give me some relief. Not only has it given me relief, but it has almost completely relieved my back pains!! I haven't slept one night without it since it arrived. I even packed it for an out-of-town trip.
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
After having my son 19 months ago I developed horrible hip pain. Now that I'm 11 weeks pregnant with baby #2 I've noticed that my hip pain is even worse. Being forced to sleep only on your sides doesn't help much. By 10 weeks I was begging my husband to let me buy a maternity pillow to help support my back and legs. I'm right at six feet tall so I wanted a pillow that would be long enough to support my whole body. This pillow is great! I read about other pillows having a really tight inner-seam that would dig into your neck/shoulders when sleeping, but this pillow doesn't have that. I just love sleeping with it. It really supports my head, hips, legs and back just the way I need it to. It is a large pillow however. I have a king-sized bed and it takes up just under half, but my husband hasn't mentioned that he's bothered by it (yet). Overall I would recommend this pillow to anyone who's looking for some pregnancy pain relief. Only complaint is that it is a little flat where my head goes, but I've always been a person that wants two thicker pillows under my head anyway. I just put one of my smaller pillows underneath and it works great!
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
I am a parenting coach and NewBorn baby specialist... I had been getting inundated by parents on my forums asking about pregnancy pillows, so I decided to do the best thing i could do and that was order a bunch of pillows and try them out on myself and some pregnant friends.. The Feedback was AWESOME.. not only is this pillow very very supportive front and back it offers a sense of security for your ever changing body,.. a consistent comfort. I also gave it to my boyfriend to try as he suffers from bad back pains from his awkward sleep position, within 2 nights he was amazed at how he felt after sleeping with this pillow, only drawback, i couldnt snuggle upto him.. lol, but im sure a very pregnant mum isnt too concerned about being snuggled :) Excellant choice for all my mums and their pregnant tummies, and happy boyfriends :)
User Review for Today's Mom® COOLMAX Pregnancy Pillow
Bought this for my wife (it was on her Christmas wish list). She LOVES it. Keeps her comfortable, and cool all night long. She loves that she can roll over at night and not need to move the pillow since it is the same on both sides. Only thing is it takes up litterally 60% of a queen size bed. Other than that, which is an acceptable sacrifice for me given that she is the pregnant one, it was worth every penny. While you can't purchase a pillow case for this, the description does not say that the COOLMAX cover zips off. We haven't put it through the washer yet, but finding out that it comes off for cleaning was an added bonus. Just wish that part was in the description.
