Real Salt Lake returns to Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday, when it will take on Eastern Conference power Sporting Kansas City for the only time this year. Saturday's match will kick at 8:00 p.m., with Pioneer Day fireworks following the game.
Here are a few interesting storylines to watch ahead of Wednesday's match:
11 Game Unbeaten run on line
A week ago, Jason Kreis' team weathered the early storm at Dallas to record a 3-0 road win, breaking its "Texas Hex" to win on Lone Star soil for the first time ever, courtesy of a Javier Morales game-winning goal, heroics from Josh Sauders and Jeff Attinella in the net and insurance strikes from Ned Grabavoy and Olmes Garcia. The victory extended the club-record unbeaten streak to 11 consecutive games in all competitions to cruise to the top of the MLS table with 37 points and a record of 11-5-4.
RSL faces another contender
Saturday's match will be Salt Lake's second-straight contest against the second-place club in MLS. Kansas City comes in leading the Eastern Conference with 33 points and a record of 9-5-6.
Rio Tinto regains Fortress status
Since an April 27 home 0-2 defeat to LA, RSL hasn't dropped a game in Sandy, winning four of its last six home matches with a goal difference of +9. Overall the Utah side is 9-1-3 at Rio Tinto Stadium this year.
Depth on display
When goalkeeper Josh Saunders tore his left ACL in the 49th minute at Dallas, RSL looked to backup Jeff Attinella to complete the game. The team's third-string GK became the 25th player from RSL's 30-man group to start a first team match this season, including 22 field players.
Welcome Brandon McDonald to the Wasatch
On Wednesday, the Claret-and-Cobalt traded a 2014 third-round pick to D.C. United for DF Brandon McDonald, a six-year veteran center back who logged nearly 3,000 minutes last year. McDonald is an Arizona native who grew up playing with forward Robbie Findley in the famed Serano youth club. With Nat Borchers and Aaron Maund the only currently healthy center backs on the RSL roster, the 27-year-old McDonald provides depth and experience while Carlos Salcedo and Chris Schuler recover from injury.
Duty calls
Both teams will be without several players on Wednesday night due to CONCACAF Gold Cup call ups.
RSL will be without all-time leading scorer Alvaro Saborio for the fourth straight match after he departed for the Costa Rican national team ahead of a June 29 win at Toronto; that victory at BMO Field was the last match for likely a month for a trio of RSL's US internationals Captain Kyle Beckerman, defender Tony Beltran and goalkeeper Nick Rimando.
Sporting Kansas City will be without its star center back, losing MLS All-Star Matt Besler to the U.S. national team.

It's been three months since the utter destruction of the Red Court and the supernatural world is steel reeling from the resultant power vacuum. Whispers abound of the night of terrible dreams, terrible rumors of black magic and the work of one rogue wizard. Minor talents have been kidnapped, old power structures have crumbled to dust, and even the most hidebound vampires have started looking at the world with fresh eyes. It is a time of turmoil, danger, and even possibility.
It is no different in Portland, Oregon the City of Roses. The Rose Queen sits uneasy on her throne of petals, contemplating the best way to tighten her grip upon the city, her court of Summer Fae eager to play with the mortals once more. The White Court watches from the shadows, peddling vice as they have for centuries. Things still darker skulk in the forgotten corners of the city, eager to prey once more upon the mortals they once found so succulent.
The White Council is nowhere to be seen in this city of fugitives and refugees. They have bigger problems than one city in the Pacific Northwest. The old warden is missing and probably dead, all but forgotten in these troubled times. Few in the city have the knowledge, power, or talent to fight back against dangers both new and old. Only you and a few stalwart companions stand between humanity and the growing darkness that seeks to trample the City of Roses.

XmlTextReader Class
Represents a reader that provides fast, non-cached, forward-only access to XML data.
For a list of all members of this type, see XmlTextReader Members.
[Visual Basic] Public Class XmlTextReader Inherits XmlReader Implements IXmlLineInfo [C#] public class XmlTextReader : XmlReader, IXmlLineInfo [C++] public __gc class XmlTextReader : public XmlReader, IXmlLineInfo [JScript] public class XmlTextReader extends XmlReader implements IXmlLineInfo
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
XmlTextReader provides forward-only, read-only access to a stream of XML data. The current node refers to the node on which the reader is positioned. The reader is advanced using any of the read methods and properties reflect the value of the current node.
This class implements XmlReader and conforms to the W3C Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 and the Namespaces in XML recommendations. XmlTextReader provides the following functionality:
- Enforces the rules of well-formed XML.
- XmlTextReader does not provide data validation.
- Checks that DocumentType nodes are well-formed. XmlTextReader checks the DTD for well-formedness, but does not validate using the DTD.
- For nodes whose NodeType is XmlNodeType.EntityReference, a single empty EntityReference node is returned (that is, the Value property is String.Empty). Note: The actual declarations of entities in the DTD are called Entity nodes. When you refer to these nodes in your data, they are called EntityReference nodes.
- Does not expand default attributes.
Because the XmlTextReader does not perform the extra checks required for data validation, it provides a fast well-formedness parser.
To perform data validation, use XmlValidatingReader.
To read XML data from an XmlDocument, use XmlNodeReader.
To read strongly typed data, use the XmlConvert class. For example, the following C# code reads in data and converts it from a String to a Double.
Double price = XmlConvert.ToDouble(reader.Value);
XmlTextReader throws an XmlException on XML parse errors. After an exception is thrown the state of the reader is not predictable. For example, the reported node type may be different than the actual node type of the current node.
Notes to Inheritors: This class has an inheritance demand. Full trust is required to inherit from XmlTextReader. See Inheritance Demands for more information.
For further discussion on the XmlReader classes, see Reading XML with the XmlReader.

For C.J. Fiedorowicz, things started to click towards the end of the season last year and the talented tight end looks to carry that momentum over to 2012. Still, Fiedorowicz says there is plenty of room for improvement as he continues to mold himself into a complete tight end. At media day, he talked about his maturation process and much more.

The actress and singer has modelled for the brand's spring collection, showcasing a variety of pieces from the range in the campaign.
The Conscious collection is part of H&M's ongoing commitment to a more sustainable fashion future, and the pieces are made from Conscious materials.
In the campaign, Paradis models a selection of pieces such as a ruffle-edged yellow sundress, botanical print trousers and an embellished utility jacket.
Paradis said: "I like being part of something like the Conscious collection at H&M. I try my best to shop consciously, and vintage is very much part of my wardrobe. I love the style and it works in an eco-friendly way because I like to use and reuse old clothes."
The full Conscious collection will be available in H&M stores worldwide as well as online March.
Coinciding with the campaign will be the launch of a Conscious garment collecting action at H&M, in an effort to prevent clothing from going to landfills.
Customers will be able to bring any unwanted garments from any label to selected stores, and in return for each bag receive an H&M voucher, to a maximum of two bags per customer per day.

Acclaimed developer and the creative director of Microsoft Game Studios Peter Molyneux has questioned claims made by Sony that the Move controller is not simply an upgraded version of Nintendo's Wii technology.
"I find it hard in my mind to differentiate between the Sony Move and the Wii," Molyneux told UGO. "They seem very similar in their scope. I know Sony and Nintendo would argue that they are different, but they kind of seem the same. They enable certain sorts of experiences, and they are analogous to Kinect.
"And this is not me talking as a Microsoft employee, this is me talking as a designer, but I have to take my hat off to Microsoft because they really did go one step beyond what they needed to do. It would be very easy for them to have created something like the Wii, but instead they did go that extra mile and they said, 'No, we're going to make that huge step'. I think the real benefits are going to be shown in the next wave of titles that come out."
Molyneux went on the claim that his own Kinect project, the fascinating Milo experiment, is one of the professional highlights of his career.
"It is probably the most interesting and fascinating thing I've ever done in my life," he claimed. "I think it was one of those things where we said, 'Should we show it at E3?'. I think that we made the right decision to not show it, but it very much is a project that we hold dear to our hearts, and we're as excited as we can be."

Owners of San Francisco buildings most likely to collapse during a major earthquake are now required to make seismic upgrades in coming years, but can pass all costs to tenants.
While tenant advocates had initially fought for a cost reduction for renters, they supported the proposal after city officials agreed to reform a tenant financial hardship program overseen by the Rent Board.
Under the legislation approved unanimously Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors, such buildings must undergo seismic upgrades by 2020. The work takes up to 90 days and costs up to $130,000. Under existing law, property owners can pass through 100 percent of the cost; that means renters will pay an extra $38 to $83 a month.
Supervisor Jane Kim, who said she would have preferred that only 50 percent of the costs go to tenants, said it was important to fix the financial hardship program to ensure "our most vulnerable tenants won't be priced out of our rental market and priced out of San Francisco because of the work that we are doing to save affordable rental stock."
Currently, tenants can apply for financial hardship assistance to avoid paying some or all of various allowable pass-through costs.
Tenant advocates said this process is flawed in that it is cumbersome and intrusive, and decisions are rendered somewhat arbitrarily.
The new law approved Tuesday requires that a hardship proposal be made within 12 months.
Board of Supervisors President David Chiu is working on the changes with Mayor Ed Lee and promised to introduce legislation sooner than that time frame.
While the details are unknown, Chiu said the changes will simplify the documentation needed for tenants to demonstrate a hardship, specify the income levels under which applications would be approved, and make clear on what grounds a property owner can appeal a granted hardship.
Chiu noted that the law that allows the pass-through of all the costs was the result of legislation introduced by Tom Ammiano when he was a supervisor.
"The reason he agreed to it, it was in the context of a very intense lawsuit over these requirements," Chiu said, adding that it was ill-advised to start "tinkering" with those requirements now.
Some 58,000 residents and 7,000 workers occupy the 3,000 buildings that will be retrofitted under the mandate, Chiu said.
The buildings are largely rent-controlled units. Were they to collapse in an earthquake, those rebuilt would not be held to rent-control laws.

Turning the Camera on Mark Seliger
Not just anyone can convince Jerry Seinfeld to don an Elvis outfit, or Mick Fleetwood a bridal gown. Getting celebrities to do outrageous things is just a part of the job for chief Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger, who will be returning to Houston for a benefit exhibition. "A good portrait is about telling a story, conveying an emotion from your subject in the context of who they are, how you perceive them," Seliger says.
These kinds of conceptual photographs require a little research. Seliger reads, studies the work of his subject, and if it is a musician, listens to her songs and watches her videos. He takes careful note of how the person might move, what she does and how she does it. From there, Seliger scribbles everything he knows about the person, and narrows his ideas down. "If you're lucky, you have a chance to talk with the person beforehand. You collaborate if at all a possibility," he says, noting that sometimes people just like to walk in and have a picture taken. "Every time it's something different."
In his portrait of Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction singer holds an umbrella and is masked in a sort of mime whiteface, inspired by a vaudevillian comic Seliger had seen in an old photograph from the 1900s. "I saw Perry Farrell as being this really interesting theatrical character, and I really wanted to make him over into sort of a haunting character," Seliger has said previously. "I didn't think you could really be able to see him. I thought he kind of disguised himself."
"An Evening with Mark Seliger"
Features his celebrity photographs, as well as live music performed by Seliger's band, Rusty Truck. Saturday, August 19, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Alley Theatre, 615 Texas Avenue.
(713)622-2824 $60. Proceeds benefit ArtStart and Children at Risk.
Seliger's portraits not only capture the personality of the subject, but also reveal something about the photographer. "I think that my sense of humor my level of taste -- or tastelessness -- is pretty apparent in a photograph," he says with a laugh. "It's not always about you, and it's not always about them. It's definitely a combination of the two. A collaborative process."
Upcoming Events
Not that Seliger has to come up with some kooky idea for everyone he shoots. Sometimes he likes to turn to the simplicity of a straight portrait. "I'm interested in doing whatever it takes to make a project interesting or unique to the person we're shooting," he says. Seliger has even tackled rather serious subject matter, specifically the book When They Came to Take My Father, a collection of stories and photographs depicting 47 holocaust survivors.
Seliger was born in Amarillo, a place where Jews like himself were not necessarily in abundance. "The ones who didn't make it into Israel mainly migrated to Amarillo," Seliger says dryly. When he was five years old, his family moved to Houston, where he attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. After graduating from East Texas State University (now Texas A&M University-Texarkana), he worked for a couple of years as an assistant for a Houston photographer who, as Seliger puts it, snapped "a mixture of everything from lifestyle pictures for leasing brochures to annual report corporate portraits of CEOs," all of which Seliger found "kind of scary." A desire to do more interesting and eccentric work led him to New York.
"I've been away from Texas for 15 years, and sometimes it feels like I've become more of a New Yorker, even though no one from Texas will let you believe that."
Perhaps that's because New Yorkers think art is a crucifix in a jar of piss. For Seliger, it has more to do with character and personality, even if it includes men in drag.

The Nexus 4 is the latest smart phone from Google and LG which provides the vanilla Android experience, just the way Google intended. But if you have been planning on buying one, you would know that almost all the wireless carriers, most retailers, and even Google, are out of stock of the smart phone. So the next best smart phone after the Nexus 4 has been the Galaxy Nexus, manufactured by Samsung, if you want the vanilla Android experience.
So there are a lot of people even today who want to buy a Galaxy Nexus. And of course, the Big Red will be the wireless carrier of choice for most people. And therefore, people would want to buy a Galaxy Nexus from the Big Red. But unfortunately, the smart phone has reached the end of life with Verizon. This means that the Big Red will be taking the smart phone off its offering very soon. So if you are still planning on buying it, you will not be able to go through with your plan.
The wireless carrier started selling the Galaxy Nexus by the end of 2011, late 2011 to be more precise. The release was pretty delayed actually and Verizon fans had been waiting for the sales to start. So when the smart phone became available. Android Authority writes:
We have no idea how many Galaxy Nexus units Verizon sold to date, although we do know the number is not comparable with other Android more popular devices and that it's minuscule when pitted against iPhone sales, at least according to Samsung.
Also, the Big Red had not been very timely and prompt about the updates for the smart phone. People hooked up to a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon had to wait a long time to get the new Android operating system updates. But now, all this doesn't matter as the smart phone is going off the list. So, which is the next smart phone that you will be buying?

He's taken on murderers, robbers, drug cases and sex crimes, but Detective John Roe is nervous about his latest challenge — "fighting the boredom" as he begins his retirement after 44 years in the NYPD.
The city's longest-serving police officer, Roe, 62, was wildly applauded by about 100 active and retired cops as he made a ceremonial "walkout" at Harlem's 26th Precinct station house yesterday amid bagpipe music.
"I wanted to be a cop in the first place because my whole family was — my dad, brother, uncle, then nephew," said Roe, who's also the oldest of the NYPD's 34,000 officers.

From Ted Williams and Lou Boudreau to Anthony Rizzo and Brandon Moss, there's more to the shift than meets the eye.
Last week, Anthony Rizzo was the National League Player of the Week, batting .429 and driving in 13 runs. He hit two homers and had a fistful of clutch singles, many of them shot hard through the left side, even as teams persisted—and they will persist a while longer, until Rizzo really proves this is his permanent approach—in shifting or shading him toward the right side on the infield. It's not why he won, but it's dazzling to consider that he had that hot streak while handling the defensive responsibility of playing his 10th game at second base.
Obviously, that's misleading. If you've paid much attention to the Cubs this year (or if you did so late last year, or if you just happen to play fantasy baseball), you know that the reason Rizzo has racked up brief appearances at second base is that he and the real second baseman switch spots in certain obvious sacrifice bunt situations. It involves Rizzo trading in his first baseman's mitt (because the rules require as much), but it's not a true position change. It's just a defensive shift, with a little bit of extra pizzazz (or positional anarchy, if you will).

Our fantasy crew's favorite value picks at a spot where elite production is critical.
First base is a position that harbors many good fantasy players. These are some the aforementioned good players who we feel are comparatively more good than their peers.

In addition to exploiting lefty-righty matchups, the A's also have a significant edge in the air.
The Oakland Athletics finished 2013 with baseball's fourth-lowest payroll, fourth-best offense, and best clubhouse chemistry. Debate has centered on whether the latter two are related. There's nothing objectionable about "good guy" genes—it's a solid organizational goal to have. But chemistry alone doesn't put runs on the board, and if a team is missing the talent, they better find the runs elsewhere. The 2002 Athletics discovered them in walk deities and college arms; once those methods pervaded front offices, the A's slipped back into losing. Was chemistry the only undervalued commodity of their recent resurgence?
As the baseball community obtains more knowledge, roster construction strategies evolve. Previously undervalued talents like walks and defense are now accepted constructs. The A's are Hollywood-infamous for adopting them before their competitors while prices were low. After a 74-win 2011, they cheaply signed Brandon Inge and Jonny Gomes, who Brandon McCarthy claimed bolstered the clubhouse DNA to the tune of 20 wins. But Inge and Gomes were two of several players who also bolstered a less-visible statistic: fly ball-to-ground ball ratio.

A power-packed middle of the order and a postseason darling on the mound are among the players who ought to pique your interest in Bob Melvin's bunch.
The Athletics were the surprise winners of the AL West last year, relying on a power-heavy offense and good, young pitching to conquer preseason favorites in Texas and Los Angeles (of Anaheim).
Fantasy owners who took gambles on some Athletics players last year were largely rewarded, as some oft-injured contributors stayed healthy, while some relative unknowns emerged as reliable fantasy assets. Were said performances sustainable, or should fantasy players stay away from the offense-suppressing environment in Oakland? We take a look in this early preview.

The A's bring up a power-hitting outfielder, though his window to contribute meaningfully may not open until next year.
The Situation: After posting a strong .302/.390/.445 slash line in 132 games at Triple-A Sacramento, Choice has received his first call to Oakland. It's a true September call-up, as Choice isn't being brought up with the expectation that he'll receive regular at-bats in the club's chase for a postseason berth. As reported by A's beat writer Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Choice's call "is a reward for a solid season by a high-profile prospect."
That doesn't necessarily mean Choice can't make an impact or work his way into some playing time. Oakland's outfield situation is tenuous at present, with Chris Young and Seth Smith underperforming while Josh Reddick is on the shelf for at least another week. As a result, regular first baseman Brandon Moss has taken over in right field––filling in for Reddick––with Daric Barton and Nate Freiman working the first-base platoon. While the unstable situation could yield a slight window of opportunity for Choice, it's more likely that his first serious look comes next spring.

Looking at some first-time starters in 2013 to see which ones will stick.
For every top talent like Bryce Harper or Manny Machado who claims a regular role from the moment he makes the majors, there's a veteran who bounces around for years while he waits his turn for a chance to start somewhere. The following 10 players are looking to make the leap to full-time starter status this season. But do they have what it takes to succeed in their expanded roles, or will they be busted back to the bench?
Brandon Moss, Athletics, 1B

A look at 10 new managerial candidates, and a conversation with Mets manager Terry Collins.
The All-Star break is coming into view, yet no managers have been fired this season. In fact, there have been only a few reports of any of the 30 major-league skippers even possibly being in trouble. But it will eventually happen. Some owner will finally get fed up, drop the axe, and his club will begin a managerial search.

But what's it all MEAN? I mean for my TEAM.
Though we had fewer trades this week than we've had in recent years, we did have more big-ticket trades, beginning with the CC Sabathia-to-Milwaukee deal, and culminating in the Manny Ramirez blockbuster trade to the Dodgers. This was overall a fairly satisfying trade period, even if there were more fizzles than trades on deadline day Thursday. When evaluating these deals from a fantasy perspective, often it's the ancillary effects that are the most interesting. After all, there's not much to analyze in terms of what Ramirez, Mark Teixeira, Jason Bay, or even Casey Kotchman might do. We'll instead train the vast majority of our focus on how the rest of the dominoes fall, starting with the two major deals on Saturday.

There is only one player left on the Buffalo Sabres roster who typifies the style of hockey the Sabres used to play under former coach Ted Nolan. Under Nolan's realm, the Sabres earned the rightful title of the "hardest working team in the NFL." Vaclav Varada still plays the style of aggressive, in-your-face kind of hockey that Nolan instilled in all of his players.

This recipe and method was an amalgamation taken from two cookery books. I made this on a cold Autumn day and was delighted with both the recipe and method. The suet pastry is simplicity itself. Light servings of vegetables are the only accompaniment required.
The recipe was taken from:
GASTROPUB CLASSICS by TRISH HILFERTY
SKILL LEVEL: Moderate.
TASTE TEST: The red wine sauce was delicious, as was the filling. The suet pastry was not too heavy.
This is steak and kidney pudding with a twist, as red wine, as well as beef stock is used to cook the stewing steak. The filling ingredients are left to cool and then the individual pies can be assembled. By using this method the pies cook in 2 hours instead of the usual 5 hours steaming time. I did not use the quantities stated, as I was going to make the puddings in four small basins, but used the quantity of meat specified in the book mentioned below.
The method used was taken from:
ISBN: 1405303379 - PAGE 310 - (Marcus Wareing recipe)
For a similar Marcus Wareing recipe
The method used to line the individual basins (lining them with clingfilm) was something I had not come across before, but I will be using this method again as the puddings came out of the tins so easily.

Street Art
Announcing: Nuart 2014 kicks off September 6, 2014August 11, 2014
As we love to do each year, we are heading off to one of the world's premier public and street art festivals, Nuart, and we are very excited today to show the launch video for Nuart 2014. In early September 2014, a group of the world's leading street artists will be in the city of Stavanger, Norway, working within the city and around the city, creating installations, all the while we discuss the changing landscape of street art and public art around the world (Nuart Plus). We get smart, the artists make us smarter, and its one of the great festivals each year that we take part in. The Festival opens on September 6, 2014
Artists included this year are: Andreco (IT) Borondo (ES) Dotdotdot (NO) Etam Cru (PL) Fra.Biancoshock (IT) Icy & Sot (IR) John Fekner (US) Leval (FR) M-City (PL) Martin whatson (NO) Mathieu Tremblin (FR) SPY (ES) Strike (EN) Tilt (FR) ± Maismenos ± (PT)
This is how the Nuart Plus program goes down:
This year's Nuart Plus program will tackle the two ends of the street art-continuum, namely "safe murals" on the one hand and street art and activism on the other. While activism was an essential part of the early street art scene, we have over the last decade or so seen a gradual gravitation towards council- and sponsor approved safe murals as the dominant form of street art. Is this a development we should embrace as a natural development of the scene, or should it be vigorously contested? Do artists approach street art differently if they are doing legal, versus illegal work? Do artworks that are perceived as unsanctioned engage the viewer in a different way than art that are perceived as sanctioned? Are safe-murals and activist street art complements where the development of one reinforce the other, or are they substitutes that repress one another?
Over three days, the Nuart Plus-program will dig into these- and other exiting questions related to muralism, activism, and the tension between the two. By doing so, we hope to stimulate both audience and participants to reflect around which end of the continuum we believe street art should gravitate towards in the future, or if the scene really need to gravitate anywhere at all.

We all know about the health benefits of sex and now there's even more! According to a study conducted by the University of Pavia in Italy, it turns out sex may also make us smarter and alert. The study was tested blood on three groups of people: Those in new relationships, long term relationships, and singles. However, researchers found that those in newer relationships were the ones who reaped the benefits of higher levels of nerve health--which helps mental alertness.
Stress levels were also lowered due to sex and MANY other health advantages came along with it as well. So why is sex so good for you--besides the obvious--and what else can you benefit from it?
I do believe that a healthy sex life is important for a relationship and to remain mostly at peace with each other. I mean, the more orgasms you have, the least likely you are to fight about petty things, since you'll be happier...right?
A separate study performed on rats at Princeton University, placed them into two groups in which some rodents had sex daily for two weeks, while the others were deprived. The results were drastic and showed that the rats that had more sex not only had lower stress levels, but also had increased nerve health. This also showed that sex helps increase the number of brain cells we have in the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory and learning--hence why we become smarter.
Read more in ¿Qué más?: Find out when the best time to have sex is & get busy!
Even more interesting is that researchers found that stress and depression shrink the hippocampus. But those who have an active sex life fight off the shrinkage and are least likely to have dementia. This is possibly due to improved oxygen levels that are caused by the blood flow to the brain. Rutgers Professor of psychology, Barry Komisaruk says:
"MRI scans have shown that during orgasms the neurons in the brain are more active and use more oxygen," adding, "It appears that the more active the neurons, the more oxygen they withdraw from the blood — so more oxygenated blood is supplied to the region, delivering a fresh supply of nutrients."
And women especially benefit from sex because the testosterone hormones released during the act increases concentration and reaction times. Relationship expert, Tracey Cox explains that studies have shown that because of the high levels of oxytocin released during sex, you get better sleep. She also mentions that men who experience orgasms a few times a week are more likely to live longer.
It's amazing how a primitive need can benefit us a lot more than we bargained for. Sure an orgasm is great, but it's also good to know that by having sex we can stave off dementia, get better sleep, and become smarter. So next time you come up with excuses to avoid having sex with your man, think of all the health advantages that can come from it for the two of you!

We report here the observation of the enhancement of Europium-tetracycline complex emission in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) solutions. Europium emission band of tetracycline solution containing Europium (III) chloride hexahydrate was tested to obtain effective enhancement in the presence of native LDL and oxidized LDL. Europium emission lifetime in the presence of lipoproteins was measured, resulting in a simple method to measure the lipoproteins quantity in an aqueous solution at physiological pH. This method shows that the complex can be used as a sensor to determine the different states of native and oxidized LDL in biological fluids.

US fears more demonstrations after Friday prayers
Washington: The White House said it was monitoring security at US diplomatic posts around the world in the expectation that more anti-American protests could erupt following Friday's Muslim prayers.
Protests that began in Egypt and Libya on Tuesday over the amateur, privately-produced US movie Innocence of Muslims have since spread to several other Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
"It is important to note that as these protests are taking place in different countries around the world, responding to the movie, that Friday, tomorrow, has historically been a day when there are protests in the Muslim world," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
"We are watching very closely for developments that could lead to more protests. We anticipate that they may continue."
Demonstrators stormed the US embassy in Yemen on Thursday, leading to clashes in which four people were killed, while protesters stoned Washington's mission in Cairo as anger spread over the film.
The protests came as US and Libyan officials probe an attack on the consulate in Benghazi that killed the American ambassador and three other US officials on Tuesday, amid growing speculation it was the work of jihadist militants rather than just demonstrators.

So... if I didn't see something happen, then it did not exist. Plus vast areas of scientific inquiry, such as paleontology, archaeology, geochemistry, geophysics, etc. all either do not exist, or better yet, there is some vast conspiracy among all scientists to collaborate and get to get their data to fit together nicely to fit with their strong anti-new-Earth agenda. Really? It's hard to get 3 ultra-competitive leading scientists working in the same field to agree on a place to go for dinner and to cordially last the night.No scientist was there to see the dinosaurs live through this supposed dinosaur age. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist observed dinosaurs die. Scientists only find the bones in the here and now, and because many of them are evolutionists, they try to fit the story of the dinosaurs into their view.
There are many modern methods of dating animal, plant, and geological artifacts that have been refined over the decades or discovered anew in recent years. Sure, one method might suggest a fossil is 65.2 million years old and other may say it's 66.8 million years old. That difference of 1.6 million years seems enormous and invalidating to someone who insists (no matter what) that NOTHING is over 0.006 million years old, but the best methods seem to be converging over time.
We can date things thousands of years old, tens of thousands of years old, hundreds of thousands of years old, millions of years old, tens of millions of years old, hundreds of millions of years old, and billions of years old. Dates for the moon rocks, for example, led scientists to the unexpected conclusion that the moon was likely shed off the pre-formed Earth by an impact, early in its history, since some surface rocks on both the Earth and the moon are amazingly similar in age and composition.
Every sentence in that linked article that mentions, even indirectly, any principle of science is riddled with egregious logical and factual errors.
Of course the author is entitled to believe every word of it, as are you. But the author is claiming scientific support when his arguments do not have any. They fail kindergarten science, actually.

I find it hard to get going at this time of year with the cold, the rain, the dull days and the short amount of daylight. How I wish sometimes I could hibernate under a duvet and come out only when the first ray of warm spring sunshine hits a tulip.
However that is the beauty of New Years. The clean slate, the new start. I was going to write a post about how I don't have resolutions and that I don't believe in making statements like 'I wont eat rubbish anymore' or 'I will be organised' but I can see that I am already gearing myself up for a new start.
I tidied up my fabric cupboard two days ago and was shocked at how much I had so much so I'm going to be giving some fabric bundles away on Button Patch . I have also bagged up unwanted clothes to take to a charity shop, tidied up toys and cleared away some of the Christmas decorations. It just seems the best thing to do. To get busy.
I hope to get busy with this blog too in 2013. I am aiming to do the following:
- write a blog posts a week
- write a regular monthly children's book review
- include more family recipes
- more hints and tips on how I amuse 3 children under 6 years old.
Not the most lengthy list but I heard someone say the other day that their plan was to do little, well. So instead of doing lots of things in an average way I would like to do these 4 things the best I can.
With my family and for myself I have only one true aim for 2013.
That's it. Be kind to my family, friends and to myself.

Levi Phillips, director of maintenance for Carson Helicopters Services, pleaded guilty on September 23 in the U.S. District Court in Medford, Oregon, for his role in falsifying documents pertaining to a Sikorsky S-61N helicopter owned and operated by Carson. Two company executives were indicted earlier this year in relation to the crash.
Improper loading based upon false weight-and-balance and takeoff performance documentation was cited as the cause of a 2008 crash of a Carson helicopter that killed a United States Forest Service (USFS) employee during contracted firefighting services.
An NTSB investigation determined that Carson submitted falsified and/or altered documents to the USFS as a part of its bid package, which included an altered FAA-approved performance chart and weight-and-balance charts. Carson pilots then relied on these altered and/or falsified documents when determining their helicopter maximum payload calculations.
The USFS subsequently awarded Carson firefighting contracts valued at more than $20 million in mid-2008.

Product Description
Gamma-X Key Features
From the people who brought you the immensely popular HDfury and HDfury2, comes the GammaX add-on accessory!
Why do I need GammaX?
On most TVs and projectors movies and games are too dark or missing detail in dark scenes. GammaX fixes this by adding a 'Gamma Boost' without washing out the picture.
Simply plug the GammaX directly into the HDfury2, HDfury, HDfury Gamer Edition, or any device with RGB output and enjoy a more vibrant picture with perfect shadow details!
Using the original HDfury or HDfury Gamer Edition? The GammaX also includes a cable driver which lets you use monitor cables or long RGB projector cables (any length) without having to plug the HDfury or HDfury Gamer Edition directly into your TV!
The included power supply is not needed when the GammaX is used with the HDfury2, simplifying the cables and connections. (The power supply is needed for HDfury, HDfury Gamer Edition, or other RGB source users).
Many projectors and displays only work with either positive or negative sync RGB signals. The GammaX provides a user selectable positive or negative sync switch for displays that only accept negative sync such as the following projectors: Barco 800/801/808/1208, Dwin 500/700, and so on.
The GammaX is 100% Plug-and-play. No configuration or extra steps required. GammaX works at all resolutions, including 1080p and beyond.
Note: GammaX does not support component signals, only RGB. This includes the HDfury2 set to component (YUV) output mode. If you wish to add Gamma Boost to a component-only capable display, use the Box1020 instead.
Why does Gamma X works?
In most displays shadow detail is severely limited or completely missing. When there are a lot of dark areas in the picture they simply appear as a uniform black area even though the original content has a lot of detail. This phenomenon is next to impossible to compensate for by conventional means such as increasing brightness as true blacks start looking grey and the overall picture becomes washed-out.
GammaX selectively addresses only the correct black information of interest (the shadow detail) to create a very dynamic looking picture with rich shadow detail. The level of correction is adjustable for maximum detail for your particular display.
The following pictures show GammaX in action:

Hill: Hughes has full QPR support
Queens Park Rangers defender Clint Hill has claimed that manager Mark Hughes has the full support of the dressing room, despite the club's poor start to the season.
Hughes brought in a raft of new signings over the summer yet his side still sit bottom of the Premier League, with just two points from seven games.
The QPR boss has recently received backing from club chairman Tony Fernandes, while Hill, 33, has now revealed that the players also have faith in the Welshman's ability to turn things around.
"Everybody on the inside is pulling in the same direction and trying to get the result we need,'' Hill told the Fulham Chronicle.
"The gaffer's confident he can turn things around - he wouldn't be here if he wasn't. He's still got the full support of all the boys. We're fully behind him and the staff.''
Hill has likened Hughes' situation to that of Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas, who faced early pressure following a slow start to his White Hart Lane career.
However, after a string of positive results, including a 3-2 victory over Manchester United, Villas-Boas is now much more comfortable and Hill feels Hughes could be in the same position in a month's time.
"If you have three or four bad results, people from outside the club start writing things and pointing fingers,'' he said.
"If you look at the Tottenham manager three or four weeks ago, everyone was saying he was a bad manager. All of a sudden he gets a few results and nothing is said.''

Democrats eye business at April 14 conventionApr 8, 2012 By Joshua Scheer, Staff Writer
The Fremont County Democratic Party Convention will take place on April 14 to vote on a local platform, nominate delegates for the state convention and vote on potential presidential candidates.
The convention will begin at 11 a.m. in the Lander's Circuit Court at the Fremont Count Courthouse, and local county party chairman Jack Lee expects the day's agenda to take at least three to four hours.
Anyone registered to vote as a Democrat by March 30 is eligible to vote at the convention and to seek election as a delegate to the state convention.
Perry Kaufman, the convention chair, listed items that could be included on the local platform, which is currently being drafted.
Among the topics are mitigating effects of climate change, preserving biological diversity, collecting fair shares of taxes and encouraging alternative energy development and energy independence.
The platform will be voted on at the county convention.
Lee said once the local platform is approved, it will be sent to the state convention to be blended with other counties' platforms.
Kaufman has a couple other items he'd like to see included in the platform.
"We need to close our bases overseas," he said, adding that the country's military presence abroad could be the "stone that sinks us."
He also wants to see the state step up with work-site safety measures. "I want surprise inspections at all work sites," he said.
Another purpose of the convention will be to determine delegates who will represent Fremont County at the state convention on May 25-26 in Laramie.
Fremont County will be allowed 22 delegates at state, and Lee said those who go will likely be selected through volunteerism.
The convention will also be the place where local Democrats can cast their votes for incumbent President Barack Obama or other candidates who are not committed to a single party.
"We might be expecting some fireworks," Kaufman said.
He was referring to the possibility of Democratic candidate Randall Terry stopping by the convention.
Terry's views differ from the state's democratic policies, and Lee said the state party has been working to make sure his candidacy in Wyoming is not legitimate.
Kaufman said if Terry shows up, Kaufman will not be pleasant.
Lee's not expecting the day to turn "too dramatic or anything."
To learn more about Terry, see interviews with him in the April 1 edition of the Lander Journal and The Ranger's March 30 edition.
Perry added the convention could also be the source of "some surprises."
He said a Lander individual, whom he refused to name, could be announcing candidacy for Lander Republican State Rep. Del McOmie's seat in the November election.
The national convention is Sept. 4-6 in Charlotte, N.C.

Starbucks has earned its reputation as a digitally focused business adept at deploying cutting-edge techniques. Last month, however, it turned to the oldest marketing trick in the book to launch its personalisation drive and stronger lattes: the giveaway.
Anyone who visited the coffee chain on the morning of the promotion is likely to have encountered queues around the block for the free lattes. At the same time, the chain's baristas started wearing handwritten name badges and asking customers their name. The initiative was publicised by a one-off, 60-second TV ad the day before.
Explaining the promotion, fittingly over a coffee, Ian Cranna, who was appointed as Starbucks UK and Ireland vice-president of marketing at the end of last year, says: 'We had some roundtables with customers and what we heard was that people who were passionate about coffee knew the barista's name, and their barista knew their name.'
He adds: 'Life is less personal these days. You get up, get on the Tube, and there's a grey sea of faces, and then you come to Starbucks, the grey turns to colour, the baristas smile, say "hi", and know who you are.'
Pricing strategy
In general, Brits want a stronger coffee hit. Over the past two years, the number of Starbucks customers buying an extra shot has increased by 60%. This now comes as standard in espresso-based drinks, but Starbucks is not changing its pricing, so those accustomed to paying for an extra shot will now shell out 14% less for their drink. The rationale, adds Cranna, is that Starbucks' focus-group research showed how important the 'value piece' is to customers.
This is not just an altruistic measure, however. Michelle Gass, Starbucks EMEA president, was reported as saying that she expects the cost of the extra shot to be offset by increased latte sales.
Starbucks is one of those brands that provokes strong opinions and the latest activity was no exception, prompting much debate about whether the hype generated was worth the cost of the free coffees.
Cranna, who went on a multi-store tour from Canary Wharf in the east of London to the centre of the capital that day, claims the promotion was an 'unprecedented success'.
The stats provided by Starbucks look impressive: 2000 lattes a minute given away between 8am and 9am, and 25,000 tweets with the hash tag #freestarbucks. The figures reveal little, however, about the promotion's long-term effect on the bottom line.
Costa's expansion
Pinning the likeable Cranna down about specifics is not easy, as he is a cautious interviewee. For example, after revealing the not particularly illuminating fact that one in two Starbucks customers buying coffee also buys a food item, he asks the PR entourage listening in whether he is allowed to say this.
He will not be drawn on wider sector trends, such as the effect of McDonald's stepping up its focus on the sector with its 'Full Bean' range or the rapid expansion of Costa, the UK's biggest coffee chain.
Whether it is a deliberate ploy or not, Cranna also avoids saying anything that portrays Starbucks as a big business with commercial goals and has a habit of lapsing into touchy-feely jargon or what his boss, UK managing director Kris Engskov, has referred to as 'Starbucks-speak'. Nonetheless, he seems to talk from the heart when the subject turns to Starbucks' values.
What he found when he joined in 2004 - and says still holds true - is that the business wanted to be 'successful, not only in the commercial sense, but recognising the importance of the environment and society'.
'The people who uphold our values are the people that work in the stores,' adds Cranna. 'If we do something that is not as well tied to our values as it could be, the person I hear from straight away is a barista.'
Fresh positioning
It is for this reason that baristas will take centre-stage in Starbucks' marketing efforts through a press and digital push created by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO. A year ago, Starbucks introduced 'You & Starbucks: It's bigger than coffee', which was lauded as its fresh global positioning. So why the change?
Cranna claims that Starbucks likes to 'do things differently every time' but adds that the link between the past and current campaign is 'the people connection'.
While it may appear to Londoners that there is a Starbucks on every corner, by UK store numbers it is a distant second to Costa, which has more than 1300 outlets to Starbucks' 607. According to its 2011 annual report, in the year to October 2010, Starbucks closed 65 stores in the UK and the following year recorded a net increase of just six stores.
This looks set to change, however, as Starbucks plans to open 200 'drive-thru' outlets and 100 conventional stores over the next four years.
The company has its eye on expanding into other areas; hence the ditching of the word 'coffee' from its branding last year.
In November 2011, Starbucks entered the premium juice sector with the $30m acquisition of Californian juice-maker Evolution Fresh, opening the first branded store in the US in March. It has also moved into the energy-drink sector with the launch of Refreshers, a canned beverage containing fruit juice and green coffee extract.
'We want to make sure that wherever our customers want Starbucks products, they can have them,' is Cranna's summation of the strategy.
Extended presence
Starbucks Via, the company's instant-coffee brand, is there for the consumer who wants quality coffee on the go, while its whole-bean coffee products have been sold in UK grocery channels since 2006. More recently, Starbucks has extended its retail presence to chilled coffee and Frappuccino products and mounted an assault on the coffee-pod machine sector last month, with Verismo by Starbucks.
Of Verismo, Cranna says that with the premium single-cup segment being the fastest-growing area of the global coffee industry, 'it's right that we are part of that'. Verismo has yet to launch in the UK but when it does, it may need serious marketing investment, as it is late to the party in a sector where Nestle's Nespresso, the global market leader, has a strong foothold, backed by ads starring George Clooney.
One area where Starbucks has made the running, though, is digital. Free wi-fi is in all branches, and in partnership with Apple, it offers a free iTunes music track or book to download every Monday in-store. Instead of waiting for NFC to gain greater traction, Starbucks developed an app that allows consumers to pay using their smartphones. In the UK, only iPhone owners can make use of this, but Cranna says it will soon be available for Android handsets.
Starbucks has a dedicated social-media team in-house, whose job it is to have meaningful conversations with consumers. Cranna argues that Facebook and Twitter are primarily for engagement.
'Of course we will use the channels to help (consumers) understand what we are doing, but what customers want in that space is engagement, not marketing,' he explains. One of Cranna's goals is to build on what he learned from running the US Frappuccino business, where the marketing is geared more toward digital because of the 18- to 24-year-old target audience, to the UK.
US expectations
While like-for-like sales have grown for 10 consecutive quarters in the UK, this may not satisfy Starbucks HQ in Seattle. The business reorganised last year to a structure with three divisions, including EMEA, to help it perform better outside its US heartland.
Gass, who is credited with helping chief executive Howard Schultz turn around the US business four years ago, is formulating a 'renaissance' plan for EMEA; in January, chief financial officer Troy Alstead admitted the region was 'under-performing'. Around the same time, Brian Waring, Cranna's predecessor who was promoted to vice-president of marketing for EMEA at the start of the year, left after eight years, with no explanation from Starbucks. While there is no suggestion his departure is linked to the reorganisation, change is clearly in the air.
Its new loyalty programme, for example, could be interpreted as a harder approach. 'My Starbucks Rewards', introduced at the beginning of the year, drew grumbles from some consumers, who felt that the old programme was more generous.
As the freebie coffees fade in the memory and a renewed push on making the numbers kicks in, Cranna will have to make sure his mission to connect with Starbucks customers remains on course.
- Meet the demands of the 'EMEA renaissance' set out by the region's president, Michelle Gass.
- Fend off increasing competition from McDonald's and the UK's biggest coffee chain, Costa.
- Win over customers who argue that the revamped loyalty scheme 'My Starbucks Rewards' is not as generous as its predecessor.
- Merchandise manager, BHS (1993-1997)
- Manager inventory planning and retail liaison (Calvin Klein underwear and accessories) Warnaco (1997-2000)
- Head of trading, Habitat UK and France (2000-2004)
- Trading manager and various roles at Starbucks in Seattle and Amsterdam, rising to vice-president marketing and catergory, Starbucks UK and Ireland (2004-present)

The Olympics overhaul: Branches and baristas
Starbucks has embarked on an £8m renovation programme of 70 of its London stores ahead of this summer's Olympic Games and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Six outlets in desirable locations will be given treatments aimed at celebrating British architecture. One of the stores, on Vigo Street, near Piccadilly Circus, has marble columns, a mother-of-pearl ceiling and a vintage chandelier. Another on Brushfield Street, near Spitalfields Market, has been extended from two floors to three.
Separately, the coffee chain introduced a press and digital campaign last month featuring six of its baristas, with the aim of showcasing its 'obsession with getting every coffee right for every customer'.

My go-to sweater
It s not Spring in yet, but this quickly became my go-to sweater. I ve always wanted to wear patterned cardigans, but the regular sizes look awkward because they re too short. So, I was pleased when LTS came out with this sweater. I also like the soft gray and pale purple colors. I don t look good in brighter, deeper jewel-tones, so appreciate the softer grays/beiges/blues in this Spring s collection.
