The man who has everything? Thanks to the Sharper Image, a man truly never has everything he needs and wants. We are continually staying several steps ahead of the guy with innovative gadgets, gifts and the latest technology. We also have father's day gift ideas that bring the "wow" factor back to dad's special day.
Remember, Father's Day is not only for Dad, but for husbands, grandfathers, brothers and brothers-in-law too. Maybe even your son – did he just become a new father? Celebrate his big day with a gift from the Sharper Image.
Start his Father's Day with a great pair of memory foam slippers for men. Far superior from any you could buy at the mall, our Outlast slippers use NASA designed textiles for temperature regulation as well as for comfort. And at the great price we sell them for, there's no reason for Dad to be without the greatest guy slippers in the world, or universe.
Next, send him to the shower with the latest technology from the Sharper Image. Give him a telescoping fog free shower mirror to shave with, a Mangroomer electric back hair shaver, or our ultimate wet/dry electric shaver. Make sure Dad has a great sound system in his hot, steamy shower too. At the Sharper Image, we prove that "shower gifts" aren't just for women – we have great shower gifts for the Dad in your life.
Is he ready for his Father's Day breakfast? We have great coffee makers, juicers and individual grills for Dad. Go ahead and make him a steak with his eggs! Use his new oversized BBQ tongs and digital BBQ fork that tells you what temperature your steak is. Dad will love the Sharper Image's motorized grill brush, and our new rotisserie items for kabobs and hot dogs. Does dad want to have indoor fun? The digital voice alert BBP thermometer from the Sharper Image will let him know when he needs to go back outdoors to get the meat off the grill. The Sharper Image has outdoor grill sets, vacuum meat marinators, BBQ smokers, grill cleaners and digital thermometers for well under $100 – so you can give Dad a great Father's Day gift and still have money to take him out for ice cream at the end of the day.
The Sharper Image has gifts for the outdoor loving guy. How about a king sized hammock to bring him a king sized invitation to kick back and relax in style. He may not need all the room a king sized hammock provides, but then he'll have extra room to share with the loves of his life. At the Sharper Image, Father's Day gifts are often engineered to enjoy and share with others.
How about the golfer in your life? The Sharper Image has great golf accessories, and the latest technology for the links. Get him an automatic return putting mat, for when Dad wants to play golf, not fetch! He can clean his clubs several ways with our line up, and keep his shoes in a sharp leather shoe bag. How about a GPS for the golf course? Dad can see the entire fairway at a glance, and really get a lay of the land with this gadget from the Sharper Image. We have great golf electronics for Dad – including a golf swing video recorder and laser range finder. How about an electric golf caddy? Here's a great gift for Dad – an indoor/outdoor golf training system. Dad doesn't need to let bad weather keep him from practicing his swing with this beauty. And just for fun? Give dad the golf club drink dispenser from the Sharper Image. He'll be able so serve his friends and ask them if they want a "drink at the club." We also have gifts for serious golfers including golf bags, golf caddies, golf scopes and more. If Dad loves golf, he will love any gift you give him from the Sharper Image.
The Sharper Image has toys for Dad too. Check out our electric powerboard, which travels over all terrains. Our Terra Trike is the ride he can't stay away from. And our hybrid electric bike will help him with the uphill climbs when life gets a little too steep.
Trust the Sharper Image to keep Dad in the latest and greatest gifts all through the year, not just in June for Father's Day!

Weekly Photo Contest: Fall Colors!
It's time to announce this week's photo contest -- fall colors! We're in the heart of the autumn season which means colors, leaves, and more colors. This time of year is responsible for some of the most beautiful photos ever taken, so we want to see what beautiful photos you all are taking with your iPhones.
I, personally, live in an area of the the world (central coast of California) that doesn't really have a fall season, so I'm dying to see all the photos that show me what I'm missing. Help me out iMore iPhoneographers and make me jealous!
Congrats to jwgriffin for winning last week's lens flare photo contest!
The prize: $30 iTunes gift certificate
In addition to a thumbs up from the iMore crew and all of us yelling about how great of a photo star you are, the winner of this week's photography contest will receive a $30 iTunes gift card allowing you to stock up on some of those photography apps you've been dying to buy!
The rules
The rules of entry are very simple. The photo must have been taken with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (we'll check the EXIF data of the original file to verify) and any edits must have been done with an iPhone or iPad app. No Photoshop CS6! If you have external lens accessories you are more than welcome to use them. You can submit as many photos as you'd like, but remember, this is a contest, so make sure you submit your best work!
Now, before you run off to take your photo, remember that it's not technical skill alone that will claim this prize. Even if you're not the best photographer (yet!), a great eye and a great subject can still get you the win.
However, a little help can never hurt, so make sure you check out our iPhone photography series for some tips.
How to submit
Submitting your photos is easy. just head over to the iMore Photography Forum and post your photos to the official contest thread. Don't forget to state which apps, if any, you used to edit your photo!
That's it! Now go out and shoot!

Weekly Photo Contest: Fall Colors!
Maybe the pictures do not have to be pictures of leaves ON trees. I am sure falls colors could be seen in many places. Although not ideal Hurricanes are a fall event so maybe it brought some nice ideas to some.
Although I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of the Taconic State Parkway.
I'm sorry :( But the pictures do not have to be taken now. If you took photos when you did have fall colors, you can use those.
I live in Texas, so everything is still green. Can we postpone this one for a few weeks? Lol
Yeah, sorry Lofte. As pilotnh lamented, the leaves here in Pittsburgh(well south of New England) are also gone as of last week, and as I type, we are treated to large snowflakes and a white blanketed ground. I have some nice foliage shots from a few weeks ago on my A57 though if you want to see... :-)
Was there ever a winner announced?

Honors Scholarships
The Honors Program awards merit scholarships to selected entering freshmen who have the potential for superior scholarly and creative work at the university. Scholarship recipients are menbers of the Honors Program and can retain their scholarships for their undergraduate years if they meet specific academic expectations. Students already enrolled in the Honors Program can also apply for a limited number of merit scholarships.
All entering freshmen are eligible to be considered for freshmen Honors Scholarships ranging from $1,200 to full, in-state tuition, room, and board per academic year. Students who wish to be considered for any honors scholarship will submit their high school transcripts, including standardized test scores, GPAs and class ranks.
Each applicant will be evaluated for both membership in the Honors Program and the awarding of a scholarship. Those candidates who are to be considered for the largest scholarships-$2,600 to full in-state tuition, room and board-will be invited to the campus for an interview before a specific scholarship is offered. Students who are eligible for more than one honors scholarship will receive the one with the largest stipend.
Most honors scholarships are unrestricted, i.e., students receiving them may select any major for their undergraduate studies. However, some honors scholarships are awarded for study in specific majors or programs-for example, the Helen Carringer and Herb Kamm Awards for study in journalism and the Creative Artist Awards for study in selected areas of the creative and performing arts.
The college works closely with the Student Financial Aid Office to help all honors students who, because of need, require financial assistance beyond the merit scholarships awarded by the college.

So, I've always noticed Stephen King everywhere - Family Guy, the movie Twixt, books, NBC's Revolution. These are just to name a few that popped into my head.
But this weekend it seemed to get a little ridiculous. Here's what happened.
Saturday - I was getting ready to go camping and my neighbor came over to get cat feeding instructions. She said, "Did you hear Cujo bit some dude on his face?" Cujo is her nickname for Britney, the awful rescue dog we have in our complex through our animal hoarding neighbor. She's called Britney Cujo for some time now so I thought nothing of it.
But then....
Sunday - I'm camping and in my tent getting ready for a hike. I hear a boy talking to someone else. It's muffled at first because he's riding his bike past my tent. "....yeah, I've read his entire Dark Tower series, and the Shinning, and......" He rode away. But I think, dang, that's the second time in two days.
And then.....
Monday - I get home from camping and my two neighbors are in the garage, talking. One has some old, red car that's falling apart that he loves. Her name is Sophia. I mention I did not know that she had a name. Other neighbor says, "He should call her Christine."
So that's that. Three in three days.
But then I start to think, how crazy would it be to be SO famous and influential that you and your work become the verbiage of the culture? I was wracking my brains trying to think of someone else who has had this type of influence, who has become a part of the lexicon, of the fabric of society. I mean, yes, you sometimes hear someone call a whale Moby Dick. Or a dolphin Flipper, or a horse Black Beauty.
But who else is not only has work that is re-used and adapted but his own name as well?
Could you even imagine? I couldn't. No way.

The Boys & Girls Club of the
This isn't a second-rate rodeo. The fundraiser has been sanctioned by the Professional Cowboy Association and is produced by Bo Campbell Productions.
"We're very fortunate to be working with Bo Campbell," said rodeo event coordinator Yvonne Freeman. "He's been producing rodeos for 30 years."
Over 300 rodeo contestants will be traveling from nine different states to compete in the rodeo. Cowboys and cowgirls will have the chance to rank in one or several of the eight events including: bareback riding, saddle bronco riding, steer wrestling, team roping, calf roping, breakaway roping, barrel racing and bull riding. Those with top scores in each timed event will win cash prizes and have the chance to compete in the finals. Local talent will also have the opportunity to participate during the two-day event.
The idea for the 2013 Boys & Girls Club of the Emerald Coast Inaugural Rodeo came from coordinators wanting to present something unique to the area, Freeman said. The closest rodeo is in Bonifay.
This will be the first big event for Jessica Jarosz, the new president and CEO of the Club.
"We've had a few small events since my arrival, but nothing of this caliber," Jarosz said. "It's something a little different for the
There will be plenty of entertainment beyond the competition with special guests, Sierra Coward, the 2013 Miss Teen Rodeo
Perhaps one of the most exciting shows of the event will be trick rider, Kristy Lei Harris. Accompanied by her horse, Jaime, Harris performs all sorts of acrobatic stunts while riding.
"She's known throughout the Southeast," Freeman said. "She does handstands, rides under the horse and all sorts of stunts."
The non-profit organization relies solely on contributions from generous individuals, corporations and partner funding agencies such as The United Way. Support for the Boys & Girls Club is not hard to come by in the local communities, Freeman said. Both Okaloosa and Walton County Sheriff's Office have generously sponsored the rodeo in order to give free admission to elementary-aged children when accompanied by an adult.
"It shows a true dedication to the Boys & Girls Club and the causes we support," Freeman said.
Any proceeds from the event will go toward supporting targeted programming for kids ages five to 18 during non-school hours that focus on youth development in three priority outcome areas: academic success, healthy lifestyles and good character and citizenship. The Boys & Girls Club of the

Thanks for the lol story and the advice, CoffeeFan. Much appreciated.
To Lily:
I'll be sure to update this thread or make a new one after the operation as soon as possible to let you and everybody know how it went.
I will also PM you if you would like for further details. Just let me know.
Thanks again,
I had my wisdom teeth extracted in my late 20's after my dentist, who told me to leave them until I needed to, told me they were going to get infected.
We to the orthodontist, who made an appointment for the next Friday. Stuck the needle in my arm, said, "Count backwards from 100"
"100, 99, 9..uh...5...9...SNORE"
Woke up with my wife struggling to get me into the car. Woke up with her buying me a vanilla milkshake from McDonalds. Woke up twice more to puke blood and vanilla shake.
It was like the guy levitated them out of my head. I had no pain, no swelling, no drysockets, stitches came out less then a week later.
No problems at all.
Except the time I dreamed I was eating french fries and woke up swallowing some gauze.

I got mine out in the army, so of course I had to hand carry my bedrest orders to work after the surgery because the army doesn't have fax machines. I was still brain damaged from the procedure and my wife went in with me because she didn't trust me to walk. Everybody starts laughing and I assume it's cause I looked like I caught an ass whupping, but they're pointing at my gauze which has strings coming out of my mouth and taped to my cheeks so I didn't swallow them while I was out. Oh, and they're soaked with blood.
Bloody gauze rolls with strings = tampons in my mouth. My good friends still occasionally tell me to go eat a tampon.
Mine started getting infected (err, not really...just.........smelly...) because I couldn't brush underneath the gums that came over them. Hurt like a mother when I chomped down hard, too.
I got all four out at once, laughing gas, no complications, dissolving stitches. Oh man, though, I needed those pain meds. It took me a week to really feel OK--and definitely don't get choked or headlocked for 2 weeks. Nearly dislocated my jaw doing that.
Plenty of movies, smoothies, pudding, and follow the rinse/gauze/paid med instructions carefully. Don't get hooked on painkillers. Have fun!

I think I took like 2 of my pain pills is all.

The recovery time depends on a lot of factors including the direction the wisdom teeth are pointed, degree of being impacted, if they are touching the jaw (like my right one was). I actually had a good three month time period before I could fully open my mouth. Trauma to the muscles and joints of my mandible due to the surgery. I also have had a constant feeling of numbness on the right underside of my tongue that has never gone away.
Then again I went to a chop shop dentist place (fucking HMO), another time I had two teeth removed I didn't need any of the pain medication. Definitely scope out your surgeons before you let them put a drill to your head. My understanding is that when the teeth are facing sideways like ZoA's are it's a bit more complicated a situation.
Of course I'm not a dentist so I would definitely get the scoop on everything from a professional.
Style: Judo, BJJ--Originally Posted by Snake Plissken
Guy, I'm a freak of nature. I had 6 wisdom teeth. I don't know how it happened, but the 4 basic ones were coming in sideways (facing forward) and the two extra ones were just bordering my sinus cavities. The surgeon was worried about hitting the cavities so we postponed the surgery a few months to let them grow in a bit more.
The surgery, like Snake's, was quick and painless. I hope yours goes just as well.
For recovery, stock up on yogurts. They're a life saver.
If you're prescribed Vicodin for the pain killers, take it easy. My prescription said "Take 2 to 3 pills." 2 pills wasn't cutting it. Once I popped the 3rd pill I found myself tripping out. I stuck to 2 pills and sleeping to ignore the pain.
Style: Judo+soon 2b bjj,boxing--
Wow. Thanks again for the funny stories and the words of encouragement everybody. It means a lot to me in a totally heterosexual way to read about people who had theirs removed just fine (except CoffeeFan). It gives me a lot more confidence and control over my fear so when operation day comes, it won't be so bad for me.

Few hours in life are more agreeable than the British ceremony known as afternoon tea. Our Afternoon Earl Grey is distinguished by its classic bergamot taste combined with the gentlest fragrance of blue cornflowers. An elegant blend, it evokes an era of fine china and leisurely conversation, when the ceremony of teatime was an unhurried pleasure.
Afternoon Earl Grey Loose Tea Pouch
Item Code: 272468 / Net weight: 125g / 4.41oz
Free delivery over £40
In stock
Origin: Blended
Black Tea, 2.5% Bergamot flavouring, 0.2% Mallow Blossom & 0.2% Cornflower Blossom.
Brew a Perfect Cup
Ideally warm the pot first with a splash of hot water. Use one teaspoon (around 2g) per cup and always use freshly drawn and boiled water. Allow to brew for 3-5 minutes according to taste. Can be drunk with or without milk.
I tried several blends before this one and and this is superb. I've bought it for years now.
I love the bergamot without it being too overpowering or tasting like" fairy liquid".
The large blue cornflowers are a delightful addition. I drink it with milk. It's always refreshing. Make a pot, sit back and enjoy!
When I was in London this autumn, I wanted to buy some Afternoon Blend, but it was currently out of stock. The staff recommended this one as a suitable substitute, so I gave it a try. And I'm really glad I did.
This tea is close enough to the Afternoon Blend I had wanted, so I really don't feel like having got stuck with a second-best option.
In fact it's a bit like meeting an old friend, who's changed slightly but is still amiable.
The tea tastes similar enough to have fond memories of the Afternoon Blend, yet it's just different enough to be more than a second-best replacement for a favourite tea. That's to say it's a fine and tasty tea in its own right and will have a place in my range of teas.
This is one of the best Earl Grey teas I have had, and I have had quite a few.
Every time I drink afternoon earl
grey, I feel relaxed and refreshed.
This is my top favorite tea.
I've absolutely enjoyed every single cup I have drank of this tea.
It's not strong but at the same time you get a very defined taste of earl grey. The blue cornflowers are perfect at this.
I knew about this tea in London but... when I bought it here it was so much better than I remembered....
Now, in Spain, I remember my journey every time I get a cup of this Loose Afternoon Earlgrey.
Maybe I am not being too professional with this review but I have just fallen in love with this one.

Notes: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are helical repeat proteins that bind specific RNA segments and protect the adjacent RNA by serving as a barrier to exoribonucleases. This study showed that protection by PPR or PPR-like proteins is the predominant mechanism for defining the positions of processed 5′ and intercistronic mRNA termini in land plant chloroplasts. The authors used RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitor in binding reactions between labeled RNA and PPR proteins prior to Gel mobility shift assays. They also used the pGEM®-T Vector to clone various 3´ RNA terminal sequences amplified by RT-PCR. (4185)

Prepare for Regionals - Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game
Find Hints from the Game's Top Players in Our 'Prepare for Regionals' Series
"There can be no failure in this battle for the fate of the world." –Emperor Karl Franz, addressing his troops at the battle of Mount Eyrie
The 2013 Regional Championship tournament season for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is now underway, and the year's first shots have already been fired in the ongoing battle for the Old World!
FFG's Regional Championship tournaments are exciting events that draw top players and enthusiasts from far and wide to compete for exclusive prizes, including playmats, custom Capital cards, and a Championship trophy. Additionally, the winner of each Regional Championship earns free entry to the FFG World Championship Weekend, November 7th – 10th.
While these Regional Championships hold an obvious allure for experienced veterans of Warhammer: Invasion, they're also great opportunities for newer players to join a larger community of gamers, to find new players, make new friends, and learn some new tricks and tactics.
Of course, it's always nice to know what you might expect, so what should new players know about the metagame for this year's Warhammer: Invasion Regional Championships? For a closer look at the year's tournament scene, we interviewed the 2012 World Champion, Jeremy Zwirn.
Jeremy Zwirn in action during the 2012 World Championship Weekend
World Champion Jeremy Zwirn on the Warhammer: Invasion Metagame FFG: What sort of strategies do you expect to see during the 2013 Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game Regional Championships, and which do you think will be most difficult to defeat? JZ: "The much-lauded FAQ 2.0 has done an outstanding job of balancing the playing field. I believe every faction has a chance of winning, and the current metagame is the most balanced it has ever been. While I expect to see every faction well represented, I think two factions in particular will be more difficult to defeat: Orcs and Empire. "Orc control is very difficult to play against because they have answers for everything: if you rely too heavily on units, they can destroy them all with Troll Vomit (Core Set, 80), and if you rely too heavily on supports and developments, they can destroy them with Grimgor Ironhide (Core Set, 63). The Unending Horde (Rising Dawn, 6) provides resiliency to Orc units and reduces the collateral damage from Troll Vomit. Mork's Teef Ritual (The Iron Rock, 51) and Rip Dere 'Eads Off (Core Set, 75) can get massive units like Bloodthirster (Core Set, 92) and Grimgor Ironhide into play cheaply and at action-speed. If the game slows down, the ultra-efficient Spider Riders (The Skavenblight Threat, 8) and pesky Snotling Invasion (Fragments of Power, 18) can slowly grind opponents to death. Orc control doesn't have a major weakness, but if your deck does, the Orcs can exploit it.
"The Empire has arguably gained the most from the latest FAQ, simply by losing the least. Cards like Imperial Zoo (The Imperial Throne, 109) and Sons of Coin (The Iron Rock, 52) rapidly build the Empire's economy while Rodrick's Raiders (March of the Damned, 7) and Osterknacht Elite (The Eclipse of Hope, 87) generate tempo by disrupting your opponents' efforts to build economies of their own. Call for Reserves (Legends, 21) lets the Empire play those units at the most opportune time and also allows them to reuse the powerful abilities that trigger when they enter play. Friedrich Hemmler (Redemption of a Mage, 63) can dominate games with his mighty stats of five power and five hit points, and his Forced ability can decimate rush decks. Red Arrow Coach (The Accursed Dead, 50) can taxi Hemmler to wherever his services are needed for a small fee of one resource. Finally, Church of Sigmar (Core Set, 39) and Iron Discipline (Tooth and Claw, 45) help protect the Empire's units by making it difficult and costly for opponents to target them. The Empire is well-rounded and consistent which makes them challenging to defeat."
FFG: How do you feel the metagame has changed since Worlds? JZ: "The Eternal War cycle has altered the metagame with the introduction of many powerful cards. The new keyword Raider is especially powerful. Cards like Goblin Raiders (Oaths of Vengeance, 31) and Ostland Greatswords (Glory of Days Past, 65) have become staples because they generate free resources every time they survive an attack. The cycle of faction-specific support cards like Outlying Tower (Oaths of Vengeance, 23) and Mob O' Hutz (Battle for the Old World, 43) are fast becoming ubiquitous in tournament decks. Their ratio of one power for one resource is exceptional, and they also provide a loyalty symbol, unlike the once heavily-played Contested Village (Core Set, 111). The Battle Packs from Eternal War have also introduced a cycle of aggressively costed legends that have become foundations for decks. Crone Hellebron (Days of Blood, 1) has made deck-discarding a viable strategy and Wurrzag (Battle for the Old World, 41) fits nicely into Orc control decks by letting you play tactics like Troll Vomit and Pillage (Core Set, 78) for free every time he attacks. Wolf Gobbos (The Ruinous Hordes, 94) gives Orcs another weapon for unit removal and pairs well with The Unending Horde. The Eternal War cycle, along with the new FAQ, has really changed the metagame and I'm looking forward to participating in the 2013 Regional Championships!"
Thanks, Jeremy!
Do Orcs and the Empire have the early edge heading into the 2013 Regional Championship tournament season? Despite the recent FAQ and the restrictions and errata it introduced to level the playing field, will players still find ways to run rampant with High Elf indirect damage? Can Chaos continue to make big shows at top events, eating away at its opponents' lives and souls?
The Regional Championship tournament season runs through June, so you still have time to make your deck and join the fun! You can find a Regional Championship near you by consulting our lists of United States and international venues.

January 14, 2013
David Santiago, 22, was violently killed at the kind of party you should do your best to keep your teens away from: a rave.
"Basically a rave party is an illegal event with a lot of kids, a lot of underage drinking and a lot drugs," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch.
This rave was on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2012 at a warehouse near McDowell and 23rd Ave. It lasted into the wee morning hours of Sunday. Just after 1:00 a.m., David walked outside.
"He was attacked by two people," said Birch, "One hit him in the face. David fell to the ground and the other person began stomping on his head causing such severe trauma that, about 10 days later, David died of his injuries."
Somebody had to have seen something because there may have been as many as 1,000 people at this rave. That's 1,000 possible witnesses that may be able tell police why someone would want to hurt David or provide descriptions of the suspects.

Next, the disappearance of a 13-year-old south Phoenix boy.
Traylor Myron
(Silent Witness)
Sgt. Burch said it's a really cold case.
"It was so long ago that now detectives have labeled it a homicide," he said.
On July 27, 1988, Myron Traylor and his mom were walking in the area of 16th St. and Southern. Myron asked his mom if he could run into a restaurant and get a drink. She gave him permission and continued walking. Myron was never seen again. Investigators didn't believe Myron ran away.
"By all accounts, Myron was a good kid," Burch said. "He just got a paper route and was saving money for a trip to Disneyland with his church group."

"Think globally, act locally" isn't just for bumper stickers anymore. This grassroots politics–type slogan has become an important way of thinking about where your next meal should come from. But the implications here are far more than political. Buying local—as well as organic—foods allows you to protect your family by feeding them in the safest way possible. Here are 10 reasons to add "visit the local farmers' market" to the top of your to-do list each week.
What if you can't find organic food? One of our members, who lives in a rural area, went to her local market and requested healthier options. Now the store owner can't keep them on the shelf. You can, with a little initiative, make a difference. After all, retail stores are in business to serve you. If this doesn't work, hit the Internet. Since "organic" is the current buzzword of the food industry, there will be options. And of course there's always your local farmers' market.
For more information on organic and local produce, check out the Web site for the Organic Trade Association, or type "Community Supported Agriculture" into your favorite search engine.

Anyone who's read the latest studies about high-protein diets knows that we need to get a substantial amount of protein in our diets—about a third of a gram for every pound of body weight. Meat provides one of our best and most readily available sources of protein, but there are a lot of good reasons to think about cutting back or cutting out our consumption of animal products to satisfy our protein needs.
Aside from the obvious animal-rights issues, there are several economic and environmental considerations to consider. The USDA estimates that it takes roughly 16 pounds of grain to make one pound of beef. When you consider that one-third of the world's population is classified by the World Health Organization as starving, it's easy to see where some of that grain could be put to better use. Beef production also impacts the ecosystem, from the clear-cutting of rainforests for grazing to water pollution to methane emissions, which contribute to greenhouse gases. And the cost of meat to your personal health is also significant. Although packed with protein, many meat choices contain high levels of saturated fats, the overconsumption of which can lead to heart disease and cancer.
At any rate, this article isn't intended to be a polemic about the benefits of vegetarian living. Picking up a book like Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation or Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, not to mention any of the vast Internet resources available on the subject, might convince you to replace meat with an alternative protein source a couple of meals a week.
One challenge in going vegetarian is finding enough "high-quality" protein. High-quality protein is defined as protein that contains all eight of the essential amino acids: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Most meat sources have all of the amino acids in one place. Plant sources usually have some of the acids, but not all in one place. So the key is combining foods to get a full complement of amino acids. Here are some of the top ways to get your proteins sans meat. (Vegans, skip to #3, and keep in mind that #7 uses egg whites as a binder). We'll omit soy for the time being—it has its own set of conundrums and contradictions.
Another way of getting extra nonmeat protein in your diet is with Shakeology, Beachbody's delicious meal replacement shake. Available in Chocolate and Greenberry flavors, Shakeology packs 17 grams of protein per serving and is great either in place of a meal or as a snack. And of course I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Beachbody® Whey Protein Powder. With 18 grams of protein in every scoop, and available in chocolate and vanilla flavors, it's a great addition to your health shake, containing the highest concentration of branched-chain amino acids—critical for muscle development—of any protein source. Additionally, if you're thinking of cutting back on fish in your diet, you might want to consider adding a decent omega-3 supplement to your regimen.

There are many ways to find your spectator's chosen card, but they'll really remember this one! It's so unusual and fun!
We call this IMPROVED because MagicTricks.com improved it! The way it comes from the manufacturer, it needs a tiny tweak to make it work just right. A tiny tweak that no one else will tell you about, that you might not even realize you need, but a tweak that GREATLY IMPROVES the operation and accuracy of the prop. MagicTricks.com owner Peter Monticup has personally reworked every single one we sell. Of course, you'll only get the IMPROVED version from MagicTricks.com!
The basic effect is simple to do, and you can add a lot of your own touches and bits of business to make the routine longer if you wish. It goes like this: your spectator freely selects a card from the deck and then puts it back "safely" into the deck. After declaring that you have made the card rise to the top of the deck, you flip the top card over, and of course, it is not the chosen card. You explain that this is an extremely difficult trick. Because the spectator's card is in the middle of the pack, it is locked in place by the cards around it - as good as being in a safe.
Not to worry! You pull a combination dial out of your pocket, and place it on the deck. Let the spectator dial any combination numbers he wants. Then, with a twist, you "open" the deck of cards as if it was a safe. Part of the deck is lifted up with the dial, leaving the other part of the deck still on the table. The spectator takes the top card from the pile on the table, turns it over- it is his chosen card!
And since this can be repeated immediately, with no resetting required, this is a great choice for you if you are a strolling walkaround or restaurant magician.
If you like magic gimmicks and fun props, you'll love this! Easy to carry and store, Safecracker Cards will help you add an unexpected twist to your regular card tricks.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, a favorite among tea party activists, said Thursday he was resigning to take the helm of a conservative national think tank.
The South Carolina politician said in a statement he was stepping down to become president of the Heritage Foundation. His office said he would take the new job effective Jan. 1.
The 61-year-old Republican was first elected to the Senate in 2004. He previously served in the U.S. House for three terms.
"I'm leaving the Senate now, but I'm not leaving the fight. I've decided to join The Heritage Foundation at a time when the conservative movement needs strong leadership in the battle of ideas," DeMint's statement said. His office said DeMint was too busy to come to the phone.
Republican Gov. Nikki Haley gets to appoint his successor to the Senate. She gave no immediate indication who she might choose, or whether she would appoint herself. Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey says the attention should be on DeMint.
"Our state's loss is the Heritage Foundation's gain," Haley said in a statement.
DeMint's former state director, Luke Byars, said the senator's new role would allow him to effect change outside the U.S. Capitol.
DeMint, who previously ran a marketing firm, thought Republicans didn't do a good job communicating their message in the presidential race, he said.
"He knows how to communicate," said Byars, a political consultant. "This is a vehicle for him to push and pull on conservative issues on a national stage to get the attention of folks inside Washington. This lets him go back into something he loves. He's always been an idea guy."
