A review of the scientific literature on the subject found that 29 out of 40 studies reported that vegetarians weighed significantly less than non-vegetarians.1 This was observed in both males and females, and various ethnic groups. Although vegetarians tend to have healthier lifestyle habits that may influence weight, e.g., more exercise and less smoking, some studies were performed within a population with similar lifestyles, and the differences in weight were still seen.
Vegetarian diets and weight status
The type of vegetarian diet can also impact weight status. Results from a study of 37,875 healthy men and women participating in the Oxford cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-Oxford) found that after adjusting for age, mean BMI was significantly highest among meat-eaters (24.41 kg/m2 in men, 23.52 kg/m2 in women) and lowest in the vegans (22.49 kg/m2 in men, 21.98 kg/m2 in women).2 Vegetarians and fish eaters had comparable mean BMI in between the other groups.
Further, vegetarians have a lower rate of overweight and obesity. Data analyzed in 55,459 healthy women that participated in the Swedish Mammography Cohort revealed a 40 percent prevalence of overweight and obesity among omnivorous women, 29 percent among semi-vegetarians and vegans, and 25 percent among lacto-ovo vegetarians.3 A vegetarian diet also may impact the accumulation of excess weight. Participants in the EPIC-Oxford Study who cut back on animal-based foods showed the lowest rate of weight gain.4
Because vegetarian diets are associated with lower body weight, rate of overweight and obesity, vegetarians may also have a lower risk of certain diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
Vegetarian diets and weight loss
Taking in fewer calories than your body needs, by either decreasing caloric intake through your diet and/or expending energy through exercise, is the only way to lose weight. One strategy that can be used to reduce caloric intake is to follow a vegetarian diet.
Research shows that following a vegetarian diet can result in, but does not guarantee successful weight loss. For example, results from a study published in January 2008 found that sedentary and overweight adults assigned to follow a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet lost an average of 7.9 percent of their body weight after 18 months. However, participants who followed a standard diet also lost 8 percent of their body weight.5 The insignificant difference in weight loss between those following a standard vs. vegetarian diet shows that it is not the type of diet that controls weight loss, but rather the caloric deficit.
Another study showed that overweight, postmenopausal women who were assigned to 14-week a low-fat, vegan diet lost 12.76 pounds (+/- 7.04 pounds) compared to 8.36 pounds (+/- 6.16 pounds) lost by those following a control diet based on National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines,6 as well as after one and two years.7
The higher weight loss seen with the low-fat, vegan diet may be attributed to its low energy density. Research has shown that incorporating low energy density foods as part of a diet can lead to greater weight loss. (For more information on energy density, read the Science Center library article, Cutting Calories: Portion Control, Energy Density).

Jared Polis on Lady Gaga and Congress
Colorado Congressman Jared Polis is featured in Esquire's What I've Learned series.
Here's some of what the Boulder Democrat told Cal Fussman:
Gay marriage won't be more of an issue 25 years from now than interracial marriage is today.
A lot of people question the motives of members of Congress. They think they're all lying and cheating and taking money from the public trough. But, remember, it's 435 people. Take any group that big and you're going to have adulterers and embezzlers and a statistically representative sampling of human fallibility. By and large, though, most of the 435 members of Congress are good, honest Americans.
Lady Gaga is one of the most amazingly talented musicians to bring her gifts to humanity in a long time.

Google Patches Chrome Less Than 24 Hours After Pwnium Exploit
Less than 24 hours after a Russian teenager demonstrated the first zero-day exploit in Chrome in years, Google released an over-the-air patch.
Chrome version 17.0.963.78 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome Frame, patches issues with Flash games and videos as well as the "critical" bug discovered by Sergey Glaznov yesterday, that let hackers bypass Chrome's sandbox. Existing Chrome users will automatically receive a silent update, or you can download the latest release here.
Unfortunately, Google's developers haven't patched the second exploit demonstrated yesterday by Vupen Security, at Pwn2Own 2012, which is believed to have involved a use-after-free bug in Windows and an Adobe Flash bug. French firm Vupen discovers and sells exploits to mostly governmnent agencies.
This year Google broke away from Pwn2Own, apparently because its organizers removed a requirement for participants to reveal full exploits to vendors (Pwn2Own regular Charlie Miller is skipping the event for this reason). Instead, Google has set up its own Pwnium competition where it is handing out up to $1 million to ethical hackers who report bugs and exploits in Chrome. Payouts will be made in increments of $20,000, $40,000, and $60,000 depending on the severity of the exploit.
Glaznov has already fetched the top-dollar prize for a full exploit using only native code, but we wouldn't be surprised if Google ends up doling out more bounty this week as inspired hackers plug away.
Google's rapid response to the exploit is just another reason why Chrome is our Editors' Choice for Web browsers.

Reiki baby, Reiki father and Reiki mom, Pregnancy through Reiki Healing and Distance Attunement
"Dear PAM, Thank you very much for the attunement. I would like to add that I have been attuned by three Masters before in the traditional manner, but your attunement felt the most intense. In fact, even as I type this, I can feel the energy on my crown Chakra, 7 hours later! In fact it has not really left me all day!" Thank you, and God Bless.KAMALA."
Dear Pam, I really wanted to help the sick all my life; I knew it was somehow going to be my destiny, to be able to help others in need. I may want to teach in the future, but for now, you have made my dream come true ... I just want to say "Thank you!" Now I am a Reiki Master Teacher. FABRINA
Dear master PAM, I have been practicing Reiki (Level I) for about 9 years and just last week I was attuned to the other levels by you and Master Premila. It was quite an intense week! I physically and emotionally felt the Energy you were sending. On one specific occasion, I awoke and found my hands vibrating." LEILA
I can feel the energy flowing through my body, and my energy channels opening to accept the reiki attunement. It is the most amazing sensation. My husband said my palms were hot and he could feel a tingling sensation from my hand." - PASCALLE
"My whole life has changed for the better after receiving Attunement from Master Pam and Master Premila. Since then I have given Distance Reiki to friends who were pregnant and they have felt a tremendous difference in their lives too." - JENIFER

Thanks to Priceless Joy for hosting FFftAW.
Lady Gaga – "Angel Down"
Angel down, oh, angel, people stood around
Wishing we could just be loving, grateful.
Courage disappears bullets they surround.
I believe we can be much less hateful,
Learn wisdom, use our hearts and realize;
Shots were fired, move provide help, safety.
But life's a trial, some of us don't recognize,
We're blessed, stop being fools who are acting weak,
Aid the angels falling, be cognizant.
Don't you know we're all facing the bleakness?
Our only shelter, in arms of God sacred,
Shots were fired, down the street where we'd once meet.
Where are our leaders, elected but graceless?
People gawk and stand around being useless,
Terror overcoming until we're faceless.
Save an angel despite being clueless,
Wishing we could just be loving, grateful,
I wish we'd all do something, not be ruthless.
I confess I'm lost, I'll still try to connect,
I'll care for humanity as I've respect.
Angel down, oh, angel, people stood around.
Courage disappears, bullets they surround.

During the past couple of years I?ve felt a deep longing to perform my
music as pure and essential as possible, the compositions based
primarily on acoustic guitar and piano. I discovered this purity to be
extremely enjoyable and thus the next logical step after my symphonic
album "Earthsong & Stardance" (a grand celebration of my 30th
anniversary on stage) was to write and record music in this essential
way. On "Dreamweaver" you will hear music that was performed and
almost entirely on acoustic instruments, sounding very pure and
natural. I hope you will enjoy it.
With many thanks to my devoted listeners across our planet Earth,

The SF PHP Community Meetup is an open forum where PHP developers of all skill levels can come to communicate, learn, network, or just have a good time. We meet on a monthly basis and generally have speaker from the major web site companies in the bay area. Lively discussions or Q&A for hours afterwards.
Our focus is in the PHP world but our topics encompass the entire LAMP stack. Topics include PHP coding, to memcached handling, db optimizations, server stack, web server tuning, code deploying, hosting options and much much more.
We are actively seeking speakers and sponsors for upcoming monthly meetups. Please contact the organizer through Meetup message.
The purpose of SF PHP Community is to present public events that are beneficial to the PHP community and to help nurture the growth of the community through education, networking, mentoring, and friendship. SF PHP meetups are a 'safe space' or to put it another way a 'flame free' zone. In order to grow the community in a responsible way we actively encourage diversity and respect.
Although we are just one meetup group in one city we have the opportunity to present a positive and energetic vision of what can be built with PHP now, and where PHP is going. By educating in current techniques and practices, we also inspire people to create new solutions. By bringing developers together in person, we make it easier for new connections to be made. All of this in turn brings renewed energy and people to the language, our projects, and frameworks.

As of today (apparently, as the transfer is still not entirely completed, there might still be a few bumps ahead in the next days) we are with a new hosting service.
Cluesforum.info is now hosted by a very common, everyday american hosting service provider (namely, bluehost.com).
There is absolutely nothing special about this new hosting service.
We are not going to be any safer or more "hidden" over here, on the contrary, and there will be no illusion of salvation from censorship or the meddling of law enforcement by the corporate american empire or the globalists or the spectre (as if there ever was). We are now smacked right in the middle of it.
But here, at least, we will not have to face the awful customer care of PRQ, nor the vicinity of their embarrassing patrons (i.e. wikleaks).
More importantly, we hope not to have to face their constant, never explained, downtimes.
We can only hope this move was for the better. Only time will tell.
Any feedback on anything you should notice that feels different about the forum, in good or bad, you are welcome to post it in here.
Happy browsing.
p.s. If you are having troubles logging in following the change of server, feel free to contact yours truly @gmail.com.

So I got into the kitchen with Kevin and went straight to work. Well, Kevin went straight to work actually. Since he has become my sous chef I don't do much prep work. Something I think I have been taking for granted a bit. He has been sick for the last three days so I have been on my own to cook. I realized how much help he is and how much I love being in the kitchen with him.
With all the prep done we got down to the business of cooking which ended up becoming a problem. The recipe calls for you to add a crushed clove of garlic to the pan as the oil and butter heats up. I realize after the fact that it was just to "perfume" the oil and butter with garlic, but the recipe wasn't clear on that fact. It never calls for you to remove the garlic from the pan. The little voice inside my head told me to remove the garlic, but I of course ignored that smart little voice and left the garlic in as I cooked the chicken.
The chicken cooked beautifully. This recipe calls for chicken cutlets and you know by my previous posts that I like using cutlets a lot. They were a perfect golden brown and we couldn't wait to eat them. I liked the fact that you only use a light coating of flour. The chicken wasn't heavily breaded, just that nice little crispy.
After the chicken was done the recipe called for the addition of wine and a few other ingredients to the pan the chicken was cooked in to create a sauce for the chicken. I added everything it called for but when I went to taste it all I could taste was burnt garlic. UGH! Thank goodness the flavor didn't taint the chicken, but the sauce was tragically unable to be salvaged. Now I am in a spot. Chicken is cooked perfectly and ready for a sauce but there was no sauce to use. I quickly washed the pan out to get rid of that awful burnt taste and threw together a sauce of my own. I used butter and garlic (unburnt this time), added some flour to the mix to make a quick roux. To that I added white wine, chicken stock, salt and pepper and threw in some parsley at the end. It came out great THANK GOD!! The meal is saved!
I quickly wilted the spinach and called everyone to get their food. I was very nervous to see what they would think of my on the fly sauce. I began to here mmmm's so I knew I had gotten away with it. Woohooo yay me!
So this was a growing experience for me. I used to stress out over making sure everything was perfect and there was a day when I would have thrown my hands up in the air and had no idea what to do after the mishap. But now I am able to think clearly and shoot from the hip if I have too. It felt really good. I guess I really turned this recipe into one of my own by changing the sauce so drastically. That is a nice feeling too. If anyone makes this one could you please let me know how your sauce turns out. And for goodness sake don't forget to remove the garlic before you cook the chicken!
This is recipe #84
Chicken Francese and Wilted Spinach
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast cutlets
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (half a palmful)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (eyeball it)
2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
a splash of milk or half and half
4 tablespoons EVOO
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, 1 crushed, 2 chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine (a couple of glugs)
a handful of fresh flat leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 pound triple washed spinach, tough stems removed, coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg (eyeball it)
Preheat a large nonstick over medium to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Dredge the chicken in flour. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolk with milk or half and half and season with salt. Add 2 tablespoons of EVOO to the skillet. Then add 2 tablespoons of the butter cut into small pieces. When the butter melts into the oil, add the crushed clove of garlic to the skillet. Wen the garlic speaks by sizzling in the oil, coat the chicken in the egg mixture, then add to the hot pan (remember to take the garlic out of the pan before you do this).Cook the chicken on both sides until just golden, 6 to 7 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent loosely with foil to retain the heat. Add the wine to the pan and deglaze by whisking up the drippings. Reduce the wine for 1 minute, then add the remaining tablespoon of butter and parsley to the pan. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
Return the skillet to the heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO, then add the chopped garlic and let it come to a sizzle. Wilt the spinach, turning it to coat in the EVOO, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Serve the spinach alongside the chicken francese. Pass crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

Halladay is showing everyone why he is the BEST pitcher in baseball.
With all the fuss around him, against the best team in baseball, that Halladay start was arguably he best pitching performance I've ever seen in the Rogers Center by a Blue Jays pitcher.
Anyone who wants him had better open up the vault.
Indigo, dam you, ever since reading that story on Roy that you posted I break up when I watch him pitch.
Anyone who wants him had better open up the vault.– I think Interim CEO for Life Beeston echoed your thoughts the other day gsjays.
When you see the Jays cutting their salary budget this year by not having to pay Burnett, and after 2010, they will be free of Ryan's salary, it looks as if there will be some cash in the kitty to make a very good offer to extend Halladay. He might go elsewhere if he thought there was a better opportunity to win, but if you look at the pitching potential that is there, and if Wells, Rios, and Snider can get off the dime, that opportunity might just be right here. Everything would have to come together just right, but most of the pieces are there.
In case somebody didn't hear, Beeston said something like "If somebody wants to trade for Halladay, they are going to have to blow us away."
Actually, I'm not convinced now any more than I was last winter that we have the pieces to win. All that Wells and Rios have confirmed is they're not clutch performers and we're paying them at obscene and untradeable levels for the performance they're delivering. They both should see a sports physiologist and get their thinking straightened away.
Snider, like Lind will go through an adjustment period and will ultimately be a great player, but we can't expect him to carry the bag as a 21 year old rookie, that was supposed to be Rios and Wells. The Wells and Rios's contracts will hamstring this team for the next 5 years and I'm not convinced we'll see any better performance from them than we are right now. It's extremely disappointing.
In addition, Overbay, as nice of a player as he is, is just not delivering what we need from that position, there are now 22 first basemen ahead of him in both home runs and slg. It's a power position and we're not getting the power nor rbi's from him.
Rolen, as great as he is on defense is also not delivering the power numbers or RBI's, BUT at least he's hitting for high average.
Last winter, I posted we needed to change our 1st baseman, 3rd baseman and short stop. We need both the 1st and 3rd base guys to deliver power and rbi's and the short stop to become the lead off hitter with speed to steal bases.
Although, we have been fortunate that Scutaro has put up a career year so far, the only thing that's really changed is, we're letting another year go by without making the changes we need in order to have a good chance to win.
Of course, there's also been a real change to the economy and team revenue, and now, I see little option but to trade Halladay and explode a big chunk of this team and re-built around Lind, Hill, Snider, Romero and other young players, put significant sums into our minor league development and try to win in 4-5 years.
With the circumstances the Jays are in. I think the mistake that was made in the way that the offense was built. This team is largely built around pitching and defense. If you look historically, the teams that were more built around pitching and defense have always had offenses that did the little things like steal, bunt, first-to-third, hit-and-run.
Looking back (Thomas, Glaus… etc.) it seems like they tried to build the offense around powerand now they don't have the right personel to play lower scroing games.
A perfect example in the 6th last game: Overbay (I think) leads off with a double. Rios comes up a hits a GB to the left side; now in this case his GB got through the hole. I just don't understand why the Jays seem not to have a plan on where they want to hit the ball in certain situations. Any ball hit hard to the right side of the field in that sitaution will move the runner over; I'm not advocating just giving up the out but a productive out is benefical. However, the Jays never seem satisfied with 1 run.
I agree that the Jays need 1 big bopper in the middle of the line-up but with all the money tied up in Rios and Wells this isn't likely going to happen. I believe there was only something lik 28 players who hit 30+ homers last year which means if you want a player of that calibre you are either overpaying in the FA market (and the Jays don't have excess payroll room) or overpaying with prospects in a trade.
I agree on Snider, remember it took Lind a couple years of being up and down before he could stick. If Snider is going to be a successful big leaguer though he is going to have to provide 35ish homerun power with atleast a 250ish average because he stirkes out at a phenominal rate (almost Howardish).
We do need more power from either a 1B or 3B. I don't neccessarily think both. Having 1 big power bat tends to have a big effect on the hitters around him; even if they are just above average type guys (Lind, Rolen). However, if you surround that bat with garbage (Ray Durham in the case of Bonds) they just pith around him.
Some interesting Halladay trade comments
Multiple reports indicated that representatives from the Dodgers, Phillies, Brewers, Tigers, Red Sox, Rangers and Twins were in attendance for Halladay's latest start, which netted his 11th win and lowered his ERA to 2.73. Former Jays GMs Pat Gillick (Phillies) and Gord Ash (Brewers) were in Toronto for the entire weekend series against Boston.
Philadelphia is still believed to be the front-runner to land Halladay, and the Jays and Phils have reportedly already discussed a few of the Phillies' top prospects, including outfielder Michael Taylor, shortstop Jason Donald and pitcher Carlos Carrasco. Top pitching prospect Kyle Drabek likely needs to be included to convince the Jays to pull the trigger on any deal with the Phils.
Entire post can be viewed here:
Ash had better put both at least Matt Gamel and Alcides Escobar on the table as a starter or go home.
You're welcome….lol….. It is a heart wrenching story and it sure makes you appreciate Roy Halladay.
Seems to me if they kept Halladay they could trade some others (Rolen, Overbay, Rios, Scutaro, Barajas, and [hopefully] Wells) and simply re-tool through free agency and prosepcts and hope to keep Halladay in hopes of being good in 2011 and hopefully competing in 2012.
However, if Halladay is traded the Jays need to go through a total re-build and HOPE they can compete by 2014, that is assuming they draft and develop well. If they don't draft and develop internally though they might as well change their name to the Nationals and hope for 2020.
Although what you suggest is a possibility, I think you forgot one significant point which is Halladay needs to be resigned and in order to resign him, he needs to be convinced The Jays have a real possibility of winning over the next two to three years.
To convince Halladay of that possibility JP needs to be fired immediately, since there is no possible way Halladay would ever believe we had the chance to win with JP in the GM position-he's already failed miserably and left this franchise in a damn precarious and potentially fatal position.
Remember it's JP and his big mouth which caused this public negotiation and embarrassment in the first place. In addition, JP was the architect to the Wells and Rios's contracts and Halladay clearly knows, as we do, how disastrous those two contracts are for this franchise over the next 5 years.
Further, Beeston needs to convince Roy that Rogers will underwrite, the removal of Wells, Rios and the others you identify as well as increase the payroll to whatever is required in order to have a chance to win.
If I was Halladay, I'd like to see some actions happen before I signed on the dotted line-like JP being immediately fired, both Wells and Rios dumped, Overbay traded, the recall of Sinder, promotion of Dopirak and the release of Millar and Delluci.
Could that happen, absolutely, will it-who knows.
Exactly, IF they are going to keep Halladay they need to convince him that they can be competitive quickly which means retooling now. The thing I wonder about ownsership is how much power the young rogers has in comparison to Sr. That could end up being a big factor because Sr. was a HUGE fan. If the plan is to trade Halladay though I don't think it can stop there it has to be everyone possible and this year.
Personally, if the team is just re-tooling I think packaging a couple of the pitchers that are close to being ML (we have enough of them) ready for a proven power hitter and then using some current veterans to replenish the farm system in the A+, AA, AAA range could be beneficial in the long and short term. If we could just stablize the middle of the order with guys like Hill, Lind, [insert power name hitter here] the rest of the holes can be filled with a combination of defense, speed, and OBP, sort of like the Twins have done successfully for years.
Something I just looked at was the most recently updated Elias Rankings. As of right now Scutaro is a Type A and Barajas is a Type B free agent (assuming they are offered arbitration) which would represent significant draft picks and/or leverage in any trades. Could end up being a trade where the Jays essentially get a couple prospects that are close to ML ready for the picks.
Also, if some of the rumours from last year are true the team was looking at Cito for GM. Not sure if he would accept or not but he seems to manage people nicley just like Beeston is famous for. If JP is done though it has to be now not later… although they wouldn't neccessarily need a replacement now.
I think we will see Dopirak up sooner rather than later. Was the Cubs top prospect (maybe 2nd) until he had a serious foot injury that cost him almost a full season and then needed surgery afterward the season. He is actually an interesting pick-up by the Jays. One of the biggest reasons he signed was to get assigned to Dunedin, his hometown, and play a year at home. If he struggled again the sentiment was he was going to retire.
How not to negotiate a trade for Halladay.
The Toronto Blue Jays made an offer to the New York Mets they apparently could refuse.
According to a report on SI.com, Toronto asked for a package of prospects — outfielder Fernando Martinez, young pitchers Bobby Parnell and Jon Niese and shortstop Ruben Tejada — from New York in exchange for for Roy Halladay, who has been on the market as he heads into the final year of his deal with the Blue Jays.
The Mets said no, and it's not believed their continuing to discuss a trade with Toronto.
Just another example of JP's incompetence. Oh, and like it helps the case of dealing Halladay when one team announces they turned down JP's offer. There's a need to develop a feeding frenzy in order to drive offers up-that doesn't happen if teams continue to announce they're out of the bidding.
In addition, now every other team with interest is going to compare what they were going to offer with what JP asked of the Mets. That's business negotiation for kindergarten students.
Please, Paul Beeston put a gag on JP and deal with this yourself.
There is some speculation by ESPN (Keith Law) though that that deal was never offered.
This is where things get weird with trades rumours though. Another team could have planted that rumour to drive up the perceived price and keep Halladay from a competitor. Similar to the Heatley situation.

About the Occupy Movement
This text comes from a group working within Occupy Wall Street. We believe it reflects the spirit of the movement. We offer it to help guide the design.
Our political and economic systems are broken. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, and we live in a world where wealth is power. Our democracy now belongs to the highest bidder. Today, we must remember the lessons of history, restore human dignity and begin anew to build the bonds of trust and goodwill among all.
We envision a free, democratic and just society, built on the following principles:
LIBERTY: whereby we secure the full spectrum of human rights – political, civil, economic, social and cultural – against violation, particularly by unchecked corporate power and unjust governments.
PEOPLE POWER: whereby governance, in every form and at every level, exists by the will of those governed; where neither wealth nor history alone will justify power; where everyone's voice is heard, and no one is marginalized.
PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT: whereby we value human dignity and needs over profit, elevating them to a place of primary importance; including meaningful and fairly-rewarded work; a decent home; clean air, pure water and natural, nutritious food; and free, comprehensive healthcare and education.
FAIRNESS: whereby we call on all who enjoy society's benefits to accept their share of responsibility; where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive and no one is allowed to exploit, oppress or enslave another.
EQUALITY: whereby we reject all forms of institutionalized discrimination and oppression, on any basis, including but not limited to race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, nationality or economic standing.
JUSTICE: whereby transparent and accountable social, political, legal and economic systems work to benefit all, not just a privileged few; these systems are restructured or replaced when they fail to do so.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP: whereby the wealth of our economy comes from the health of our environment and we ensure that all life is sustainable and that nature has room to flourish, now and for future generations.
PEACE: whereby non-violence is embraced as a way of life, and we resolve to live together in harmony and cultivate compassion, appreciation and respect for diversity and the differing views of others.
It is not enough to know better; we must do better. Our social and political ideals have to be claimed and asserted by each generation.
We look forward to a day when we can shift our focus beyond individual rights towards a culture of sharing, where our love and compassion for each other and our world will be the only guides we need.

Brand name(s)
Acthib , Hibtiter
This vaccine helps protect young children from Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infection. Hib is a bacterial infection that can cause serious illness, including brain infection (meningitis). Children younger than age 5 are at highest risk for infection. Vaccination is the best way to protect against this life-threatening disease. Vaccines work by causing the body to produce its own protection (antibodies).
This vaccine is not usually used in children over the age of 4 or in adults.
Read all vaccine information available from your health care professional before receiving the vaccine. If you have any questions, ask your health care professional.
This medication is given by injection into a muscle by a health care professional. It is usually given in the upper thigh, or in the upper arm in older children.
A series of injections is needed to provide the best protection. It is very important that your child receive all the injections ordered by the health care professional, or the vaccine may not work as well. Keep all scheduled medical appointments.
Vaccines are usually given in a series of doses to provide the best protection. Closely follow the vaccination schedule provided by your health care professional. Keep all scheduled medical appointments. It may be helpful to mark a calendar as a reminder. There are various combinations of vaccines available. Based on your age, vaccination history, and previous reaction to vaccines, your health care professional will decide which vaccines are best for you. Discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with your health care professional.
Hib vaccine can be given at the same time as the other usual childhood vaccinations (e.g., diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis, hepatitis, polio) either in the same injection or using a separate needle and injection site, depending on the types of vaccine being given.
Pain, swelling, and redness at the injection site may occur. Drowsiness, irritability/crying, loss of appetite, diarrhea, fever, or vomiting may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify the health care professional promptly.
Infrequently, temporary symptoms such as fainting/dizziness/lightheadedness, vision changes, numbness/tingling, or seizure-like movements have happened after vaccine injections. Tell your health care professional right away if your child has any of these symptoms soon after receiving an injection. Sitting or lying down may relieve symptoms.
Remember that your health care professional has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to your child is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Get medical help right away if your child has any very serious side effects, including:

Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your health care professional. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this vaccine include:
This vaccine may interfere with certain laboratory tests, possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your child's health care professionals know if your child has recently been vaccinated.
Not applicable.
Consult the health care professional about the temporary use of acetaminophen to treat pain and fever due to this vaccine.
There are various combinations of vaccines available. Based on your child's age, vaccination history, and previous reaction to vaccines, your health care professional will determine the most appropriate vaccines. Discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with your health care professional.
History of infection with Hib does not always protect against future infections with Hib bacteria. Your child should still receive this vaccine if your health care professional orders it.
It is important to receive each vaccination as scheduled. Be sure to make a note of when the vaccination was last given for your child's medical record.

Can a girl get pregnant when she's just gotten over her period?- Katherine*
Yes! Having unprotected sex at any time is risky and can result in pregnancy. Sometimes ovulation — the time when a girl is most likely to become pregnant — can happen within a few days of when your period ends. Also, sperm can fertilize an egg for 72 hours (3 days) after ejaculation.
Having unprotected sex at any time is very risky — a girl can even get pregnant if she has sex during her period. Along with the chance of becoming pregnant, there is also the risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD), such as chlamydia, genital warts, or HIV.
The only surefire way to prevent pregnancy and STDs is abstinence. If you do have sex, use a condom every time to protect against unplanned pregnancy and STDs. And talk to your doctor about additional forms of contraception.

Wouldn't you adore an occupation where you can work for yourself, pick your own hours, work in a field in which you can apply your own abilities and interests, do to such an extent or as meager as you have to and have no one to reply to however yourself?
All things considered numerous as of now make have such a showing with regards to. As indicated by a Gallup study revealed in the New York Times 43 percent of utilized Americans spend in any event some of their opportunity outside of the workplace working remotely, however an expanding number are making that one stride further and have totally removed the center man, conveying techniques to squeeze out a living left altogether to their own particular gadgets, with no outside manager included at all.
Let the World Come to You
The development of the Internet as an instrument of mass correspondence is the thing that has to a great extent made this conceivable. Numerous take the view that going out into the enormous wide world to procure a living is never again a need when the world has been brought into our front room. Just insofar as we have an item or an administration to offer and another person out there needs to get it, the potential is there.
At the fundamental end of the scale the most straightforward approach to profit from home is by offering things by means of such outlets as Etsy and eBay. Most utilize these as a methods essentially of making a couple of dollars by discarding their undesirable, surplus things however unavoidably such stages for purchasing and offering soon delivered a potential for progressing business. Others make a generally unobtrusive however in any case consistent pay by finishing on the web reviews.
For those of a more imaginative bowed one zone of chance which has extended exponentially as of late is independently publishing. Indeed, even the individuals who may extravagant themselves as potential creators could be excused for shunning customary distributers, remembering that having an original copy acknowledged seems, by all accounts, to be particularly the exemption to the manage (Gone With The Wind, Watership Down and Carrie were altogether dismissed different circumstances by distributers). With projects, for example, Amazon's CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing anyone who can take after a couple of moderately basic organizing guidelines would now be able to distribute a book and have it shown without anyone else committed writer page now and again inside a matter of hours.
Work Done at Home is Still Work
What should be seen however is that telecommuting is no brilliant ticket to unheard of riches, no simple choice. It requires application, teach and no little measure of vital intending to have any possibility of making progress over the long haul.
In the main occurrence the vital time must be made accessible. The drawback of working for ourselves is the impulse to take after diversions, to put the work to the other agree with a guarantee to come back to it later at some legendary "more helpful" time. There is a straightforward primary concern – if the work isn't completing, no one is getting paid.
Additionally, innovative ventures, for example, independently publishing as a rule likewise mean self-showcasing. On the off chance that no one else has a monetary enthusiasm for your work, at that point no one has an enthusiasm for helping you declare it to the world.
Perceive Value, Spot the Scams
At that point we need to perceive that only one out of every odd gaining opportunity has level with esteem. Online reviews, just to give a case, can be a simple method to profit if the reward is appealing and the procedure conveys. At the point when a meeting offers a dollar for a hour's work, or over and again screens us out following ten minutes of squandered exertion, it can be substantially more troublesome, so the aptitude we immediately need to create is the capacity to spot poor esteem as opposed to endeavoring to work through and balance it. We require likewise to have the capacity to spot inside and out tricks, with respect to everyone who tries to bring home the bacon through diligent work and legitimate undertaking there will be another person out there eager to downy them by misusing their eagerness.
Telecommuting should be drawn nearer similarly as some other employment – with teach, investigate and an arrangement of crusade through which to recognize the most profitable open doors and to isolate them from the rest.

BALTIMORE- UMBC junior attackman Scott Jones (Port Coquitlam, B.C.) tied a career-high with five goals and led a furious comeback, but the host Retrievers fell to Stony Brook, 10-8, before 960 fans at UMBC Stadium.
The Seawolves won their 17th consecutive regular season contest and improved to 3-0 in the conference and 4-7 overall, while UMBC slipped to 2-1 in league play and 4-6 overall.
Jones was UMBC's America East Player of the Game, while Stony Brook senior midfielder Robbie Campbell earned the honor for his side. Campbell scored four goals and shared the spotlight with junior goalkeeper Sean Brady, who made 14 saves for the visitors.
The Retrievers trailed, 9-2, late in the third quarter, but exploded for five goals in the span of 3:11 to trim the deficit to 9-7 with 12:17 remaining. Jones started the surge by converting a Joe Lustgarten (Wading River, N.Y.) feed with 32 seconds left in the third quarter.
Sophomore face-off specialist Phil Poe (Harwood, Md./DeMatha) won all seven fourth quarter draws and UMBC capitalized early in the fourth. Sophomore midfielder Conor Finch(Westminster, Md./Boys' Latin) scored 52 seconds into the period, and after an SBU violation on the ensuing draw, Poe fed sophomore attackman Matt Gregoire (Crofton, Md./South River), who scored to cut the deficit to 9-5.
Gregoire picked off a Stony Brook clearing pass and fed Jones on the left doorstep for UMBC's sixth goal at the 13:16 mark and Jones' rocket from a sharp left angle on freshmanDerek Bertolini's (Madison, Conn.) pass brought the hosts to within 9-7 with 12:17 to play.
The Retrievers had two possessions to cut the lead to one, but committed turnovers in each case. The second miscue led to a Seawolf fast break and freshman attackman Mike Rooney scored to restore a three-goal visitor margin at 10-7 with 8:11 to play.
Jones scored his team-leading 27th goal on a cross-field feed from junior middie Scott Hopmann (Annapolis, Md./St. Mary's) to pull UMBC to within a pair with 2:23 to play. But Bertolini's shot with 1:47 remaining was easily handled by Brady and the Retrievers never regained possession.
Lustgarten had a goal and two helpers for UMBC and now has 10 assists in his last four outings.
Poe won 15 of 22 face-offs and led all players with eight ground balls. But UMBC suffered 21 turnovers in the game, mostly in the offensive end, as they only failed to clear on one of 16 opportunities.
Rooney also scored four times for Stony Brook.
Stony Brook scored the game's first three goals and UMBC did not get on the board until 2:54 remained in the first quarter, when Lustgarten scored an unassisted goal. The Seawolves led, 5-1 after 15 minutes and 6-2 at halftime.
Shots were even at 30 apiece and UMBC junior goalkeeper Adam Cohen (Arnold,Md../Severn) made 10 stops for the Retrievers.
The Retrievers have another opportunity to take on an undefeated America East squad when they face Albany at home next Saturday, April 21.

WinField Solutions has announced today its 2014 CROPLAN seed lineup, which gives farmers the ability to better-manage corn rootworm (CRW) and limited moisture in corn.
Performance results from WinField's Answer Plot program are a testament to the yield potential of the latest CROPLAN seed varieties. In more than 300 comparisons across multiple geographies, new CROPLAN hybrids delivered an average of nearly 7 bushels per acre more than the competition, and a 4 bushel per acre increase over existing hybrids in the portfolio.
"Year over year, our new CROPLAN seed offerings raise the bar on yield potential, and this year is no exception," says K.C. Graner, WinField seed and agronomy advisor. "Our repeated local testing shows us these new varieties are performing in a variety of areas across maturity sets, which gives farmers the framework they need to be successful heading into the upcoming growing season.
2014 CROPLAN Seed Corn Variety Highlights
Farmers looking to optimize production in drought areas or those planting dryland corn can now benefit from two new water optimization traits available in CROPLAN hybrids – Agrisure Artesian(Syngenta) and Genuity DroughtGard (Monsanto).
- Agrisure Artesian – Utilizes a proprietary Gene Blueprinting process, which identifies and utilizes multiple genes that carry distinctive modes of action responsible for moisture stress protection.
- DroughtGard – Includes a new bio-tech trait that helps corn plants mitigate yield loss due to drought, especially during key growth stages.
"Both new water optimization traits help enhance yield potential when moisture is limited, but also perform well under wet conditions," says Ryan Moeller, regional product manager, WinField. "Our farmers have been asking for this level of control, and these new offerings can deliver the increase to their genetic yield potential they've been looking for."
New Agrisure Duracade technology (Syngenta) will also be available for farmers who are dealing with resistance to current CRW-traited products.
- Agrisure Duracade – Introduces a new protein and mode of action to the marketplace for optimal resistance control. 2014 CROPLAN varieties will also include a 5% refuge-in-a-bag, which producers are demanding.
"This technology is new to the marketplace, so there's no resistance to it," says Moeller. "It's a particularly favorable option in corn-on-corn rotations as well as areas with heavy CRW pressure." Farmers in SD, NE, KS, Western MO, TX, OK and CO can choose from 82-day (2280AS5222) and 90-day varieties (3080ASA5222).

Q: The string algae seems to grow in just a few hours in my stream. What can I do?
Edith – Marion, IN
A: String algae. It seems to just grow and grow, leaving a tangled mess of green slimy stuff in your stream and water garden. Like other types of algae, string algae thrives on sunlight and excess nutrients like fish waste and decomposing organic matter in the water. If you want to get rid of it, check out this five-step plan designed to get your string algae problem under control.
- Add Plants: Water lilies, water hyacinth, water lettuce and other floating aquatic plants look much nicer than algae, right? These ornamental plants will compete for the food source algae uses for growth, so plant away! A simple rule of thumb is to have 60 percent of your pond covered with submerged, floating and marginal plants.
- Ration Fish Food: Those pellets and sticks are necessary to feed your finned friends, but keep in mind that fish food adds nutrients to the water in two ways: as wasted food that the fish don't eat, and as waste after the fish digest it. Monitor how much your fish actually eat and cut back if possible.
- Pump Up Filtration: If your filtration system isn't powerful enough to handle your pond's total fish load, you'll wind up with burgeoning algae growth and, in worst-case scenarios, lethal levels of ammonia – neither of which you want. Many filters on the market are rated for ponds containing no fish or minimal fish, so get a filter that is rated for at least two times the water volume of your pond.
- Turn Up Aeration: Beneficial bacteria, like those found in the DefensePAC®, naturally break down fish waste, but they need oxygen to thrive and reproduce. By adding a PondAir™ Aeration System, you'll boost the oxygen in the water, increase your bacteria levels and reduce the nutrient load, thereby reducing algae growth.
- Use Oxy-Lift™ Defense®: As needed throughout the season, use Oxy-Lift™ Defense® to lift string algae from waterfalls, streams and rocks. Simply shut down your waterfall, sprinkle the powder directly onto debris-covered areas and watch it instantly start foaming. In 24 hours, it will have removed the algae. Be sure to pull out any debris with a pond net.
String algae may seem like a never-ending battle, but you can manage it with these tried-and-true methods. Good luck!
Pond Talk: How often do you need to scrub string algae from your waterfall or stream?

Two mics being set up on a cabinet, one close and centered, the other further away and on the edge of the speaker.
Why: AmpliTube, introduced in 2002, was the first native amp sim software; each iteration has given not just more gear to play with, but a more detailed, organic emulation that continues to refine the amp sim tone.
Installation: IK has ditched the dongle in favor of a simple online registration system, as well as a user area that makes it easy to keep track of authorizations, or ask for more if your hard drive blows up. But check for updates—IK often does "point" releases with extra features and bug fixes.
Learning curve: AmpliTube 3 (AT3 for short) is very much designed for guitarists, down to the graphic look, and is pretty non-intimidating. IK also makes several hardware interface/controller products that work with AT3, thus simplifying the learning curve for an IK-based system.
Best bits: AT3 has added extensive room/mic modeling options that go far beyond previous versions. You can use two virtual mics (chosen from 15 different types) and place them pretty much anywhere in relation to the virtual cabinets, which themselves can live in five different room types. This may not seem like as big a deal as new models, but being able to model not just an amp, but an amp in a room, contributes much to realism. It's also possible to change cabinet size, which is a great effect when creating amp stacks. But even this takes a back seat to the sound, which has a certain warmth, and effectively models the Holy Grail of amp sims—the clean-to-breakup transition. The new amp and effects models reflect the increasing sophistication of IK's algorithms, but some of the older elements have gotten a makeover as well. For example, the reverb looks the same, but is now impulsebased instead of synthesized, yielding a more accurate sound.
What's more, AT3 includes two virtual pedalboards. You can connect them in series to create a chain of 12 effects, or in parallel if you prefer two chains of six effects.
Limitations: AT3's main issue is trading off ease of use for flexibility. For example, there are eight routings and while they cover most (if not all) of what most people need, you can't, for example, do parallel processing beyond two signal chains. Also, it's not possible to apply various types of modulation to different processors, although AT3 has added some more "synth-like" processors such as step filtering.
Bottom line: You can download a demo and decide for yourself if AT3 makes the kind of sounds you like, but suffice it to say that if based on past experience you don't think amp sims can deliver warm, organic tones, check out AT3—you might be surprised not only at the capabilities, but the beguiling sound quality.

I start my question with an example. Suppose $F/K$ be the function field generated by $x^n - yx^{n-1} - 1 = 0$. It is not a cyclic over K(y), but if I set $t = yx^{n-1}$ then we have $K(x,t) \subset K(x,y)$ and because $y = tx^{p-1}$ we have $K(x,y) = K(x,t)$. So if $K$ has $n$-th root of unity then $F$ is a Kummer extension over $K(t)$.
So, my question is what are the conditions that given $F/K$ defined by equation f(x,y) = 0, of genus $\ge 2$, there exits $t \in F$ such that $F/K(t)$ is Kummer (of degree $n$ for some $n$ such that $(n,\mathrm{char}(K))=1$ ), or is there an algorithm that can answer this question.
I know already one obvious necessary condition that $\mathrm{Aut}(F/K)$ should have a cyclic subgroup of order $n$ and that the co-factor subgroup should be a finite subgroup of $PGL(2, K)$, but is there something more that I should look for?
I think the question (as Felipe said) boils down to computing the genus of $F^{\mathcal{C}}$ for cyclic $\mathcal{C}<\mathrm{Aut}(F/K)$, but is there a way to make sure that the genus of $F^{\mathcal{C}}$ is zero while avoiding the computation of the different (using only the group structure)?
For example using Riemann-Hurwitz and choosing a large $n$ (say $n > \mathrm{Genus}(F))$ we can make sure that the $Genus(F^{\mathcal{C}}) \le 2$. But how can I decide between the 3 possibilities of $0, 1, 2$?
I mean if we are going to compute the different, then my answer will be "try to see if you can build a Kummer extension then your function field" is Kummer"! I would like to look at the group structure and be able to say something about this question (without carrying out a ramification inspection).
In special case, it's to see that which function with even order automorphism group is hyper elliptic. One necessary condition in that case is that the binary subgroup be in the centre (I don't know if it's sufficient). So, I would like to know if there's a similar conditions for Kummer extensions to decide about this problem without referring to the ramification structure.
Thank you very much indeed!

Business Tit-Bits
Why the RBI has been made a convenient scapegoat
While the RBI has been recklessly blamed by the government that the former has not been its duties, is it valid to blame the RBI when the bank itself did not pay heed to the frauds and scams that had been happening right under the nose of its officials? Mr. Akhilesh Bhargava, Business Editor of HW Business and Finance shares his take on the matter in the video.

Why ICICI findings must be made public?
Since the time the malpractices come out in the open in February 2018, that there has been gross misconduct in the management of ICICI Bank, at the highest levels. That included its high profile CEO Ms. Chanda Kochhar, its complaisant board of directors and also its auditors, who did not object/report on these misdoings. Why should not the ICICI findings must be made public? Mr. Akhilesh Bhargava, Business Editor of HW Business and Finance, shares his insights on the matter.
ICICI Findings Must Be Made Public
It is a well known fact, since the time the malpractices come out in the open in February 2018, that there has been gross misconduct in the management of ICICI Bank, at the highest levels. That included its high profile CEO Ms. Chanda Kochhar, its complaisant board of directors and also its auditors, who did not object/report on these misdoings. What is now being probed by a slew of agencies which includes SEBI. ITD and the CBI, is not just charges of negligence and violation of the corporate code of conduct, but also deliberate non disclosure of information and corruption. At the centre of this investigation, which seeks to unravel the truth is SEBI, for violation of listing norms and the code of corporate governance and Justice B. N. Srikrishna for conflict of interest, quid pro quo in loans given and the code of conduct violations. An internal audit team of ICICI Bank and the RBI is also probing systemic negligence/lapses in loans given.
While little is known of the Justice Srikrishna enquiry, which is at a preliminary stage, there is some information known about the status of the SEBI proceedings against Ms. Chanda Kochhar and ICICI Bank, both have not responded to the SEBI notices and have been seeking adjournments. The very fact that multiple adjournments have been sought and no meaningful reply has been given, indicates that there is substance in the allegation of violation of norms of disclosure, corporate governance, conflict of interest and quid pro quo for loans given. A similar situation of a series of adjournments, is said to be so, in the case of the income tax proceedings, against the Kochhar family.
Thus while ICICI Bank and Ms. Chanda Kochhar have not yet responded to the umpteen SEBI notices, the Business Standard now reports that ICICI Bank is intensely pursuing SEBI to settle the matter through a consent plea, which would involve no hearing as such, and yet a closure of the case. That is like an out of court settlement, where ICICI Bank will not plead guilty of charges and will be let off by SEBI, through the levy of penalty or through lighter charges. The new chairman of ICICI Bank Shri Girish Chandra Chaturvedi and its COO Mr. Sandip Bakshi are said to have met the SEBI chairman, pleading for a settlement through a consent plea. At present SEBI has given them a fresh date of August 24, 2018 to file their submissions, in response to its charges.
A settlement/closure of the ICICI case, which involves serious malpractices, detrimental to public interest, means a kind of a hush hush closure of the case. The public which has a huge stake in the Bank needs to be made aware of the findings of investigations, which perhaps would be dropped upon such consent closure of charges by SEBI. ICICI Bank is a large public institution and the malpractices which have damaged its reputation and have eroded its shareholder wealth need to be made public and the guilty must not be let off easily, as happens in the case of a consent plea. Every probe agency must conduct a detailed investigation into the ICICI affair and the findings must be made public.
De Beers & The Diamond Crisis
The Indian diamond industry which is a major contributor to India's foreign trade, is a study of contrasts. Its customs certified imports/exports run into billions of dollars, but are interlaced with hawala, tax evasion and FEMA violations. It polishes 90% of the world's diamonds and is thus deeply interfaced/interlinked with modern global trade, but it is yet run in a traditional desi style, often violating the laws of the land. It deals in diamonds, a most precious item, but often the supporting documents are missing. It relies on traditional couriers, the angadias, for delivery logistics, but often with no paper trail. It is a hugely valuable glamorous item of wealth, but the profit margins in its trade are wafer thin. The entire aura built around a diamond is that of trust and reliability, but more and more diamond companies have cheated banks, such that the infamous duo of Mehul Chokshi and Nirav Modi, have become the poster boys of the industry. The diamond industry today has lost its sheen. It is tainted and is in the doldrums, with dwindling fortuners.
As if these problems were not enough, yet another crisis has hit India's diamond industry, which is of a dimension not witnessed till date. It is well known that De Beers, the South African giant owned by Anglo American Ltd., has had an iron grip/monopoly over the global diamond industry since over 60 years. If used to control the world diamond business, right from mining to marketing. It is De Beers that coined the memorable slogan, á diamond is forever', in order to build an aura and allure around the diamonds and market them. If has also consistently battled the onslaught of much cheaper synthetic diamonds under its slogan, 'rare is real'. The monopoly of De Beers was broken by Alrosa, a Russian company and Rio Tinto an Australian company, about a decade ago. And recently Anglo American, the parent of De Beers was acquired by Vedanta, the company owned by Anil Agarwal, the London based billionaire NRI, by becoming its largest shareholder.
In a strange coincidence or maybe in a deliberate move, De Beers has started marketing synthetic diamond jewellery, under the brand Lightbox, which costs a fraction of the real diamonds that De Beers earlier swore by. Interestingly industry experts now state that a synthetic diamond and a natural one are similar (akin to a natural pearl and a cultured pearl), so why pay much more for a natural stone.
As a result of this marketing campaign, the prices of real diamonds have crashed. In the diamond markets of Mumbai and Surat, diamonds are available at a hefty discount of upto 30%, with liberal payment terms and yet there are no buyers for them. With a major erosion in the value of their inventory and no buyers either, diamond traders are suffering huge losses. A spectre of huge losses and cash shortage now stares in their face. While in the earlier crises, like that of bank loan defaults, the diamond firms illegally gained by not repaying bank loans and siphoning away the funds, this time they are incurring huge losses in reality, because the dethroned diamond king De Beers seems to have resolved to kill competition, by killing the industry itself. A large number of Indian diamond firms face imminent bankruptcy, with no way out of the predicament of falling diamond prices.

If you'll recall, there was a lot of industry flap when DVRs were becoming available because of the effect that automatic pre-recording of programming would have on TV advertising. Automatic commercial-skipping features introduced the possibility that viewers could watch TV for the rest of their lives and never have to see another ad. ReplayTV, an early and promising competitor to Tivo, was basically destroyed by industry legal action over its automatic commercial-skipping feature. The fact that you have to fast-forward through commercials on your Tivo today, using that clunky pop-goes-the-weasel scan routine, is basically a concession to TV advertisers who would not abide a system that didn't require you to at least watch the ads on fast-forward.
But there is an easier and better way. And while it may be old news to some of you, it was a revelation to me and all my Tivo-using friends when we discovered that there's an unadvertised instant-30-second-advance feature built into the Tivo that can be activated by a simple "cheat code" from the remote.
While playing a recorded show, press select-play-select-3-0-select. If you do it right, you'll hear three chimes from your Tivo indicating success. From then on until the Tivo reboots, your forward "chapter skip" button will instantly jump forward 30 seconds, which is the length of a single TV commercial. If the announcer says "we'll be back in 90 seconds," just punch it three times and they'll be back right now.
This article at Lifehacker describes the process, and includes similar tricks for Comcast and DirecTV DVRs. Thanks to Melody Klingler and Benjamin Bagnaschi for helping me verify that it works.

How to make your own wood fired pizza oven using the Mediterranean oven kit. Also how to make the base for your oven.
This is just great! Thank you for this great video! LOVED IT!
this reminded me of the I Love Lucy episode where she lost her wedding ring and had o take part the whole grill lol
De hecho lo está explicando, si tiene audio… o.O…. checa tus bocinas! o tus oidos =P
My boyfriend has been warned: if he doesnt build me an outdoor pizza oven, we wont get married ;D
You must really like Pizza.
i never sen a outdoor pizza oven thingy but it looks cool 😀
I respect this video. Good attention to detail, you can tell this dude knows how to build stuff. 3 questions though – 1) the slab reinforcing looked like flat plate? not mesh? 2) glad wrap? for what? dont you want the clay to dry? 3) YOU LOOK LIKE WARWICK CAPPER! gold.
The outdoor Pizza Oven design cooks like shit and bakes like shit… With all of the Bad Ass outdoor masonry cooking/baking ovens why build a piece of shit Pizza Oven design…?
I like it, click on my name and see our recycled oven build. Build it cheap!
hey there im building a pizza oven as well when you put the foil on does it keep the heat in where im thinking of putting foil and blanket then wire and then render. Have you got any cracks on render after a few lightings?…
what do you do if you're not level? mortar? just curious. Great job by the way. I'm new to the whole DIY groove. I'm just asking and I apologize in advance if it's dumb.
no hay 1 video explicativo, es q acaso son todos mudosss?????? jajaja pero estan buenos..
eh ok
good man yourself ,greeting from ireland 🙂
where did you buy the oven and where can i get the detail instructions?
Great job! Can you give me a website or phone number, as to where you bought the kit? THANKS
Fantastic job on the oven but your dancing. Not so much
If I gave you my e-mail address, would you send me a piece of your pizza? I think LAN connection would do…
but is so small!
or you buy and frozen one and put it in the oven… but this is fine to i guess….
very cool video! I love everything to do with making your perfect Neapolitan pizza…. check out my work in my world of pizza by an expert Neapolitan pizza maker
i love that but . dam all that to make a pizza lol hehehe but thats cool as hell
FREE Dominoes Pizza gift card at girlstalktv . org
Pizza Hut and Domino's ???? thats not Pizza thats pastry….Anyone paying £10 for that stuff is mad. Real Pizza…. thast what these things make 80)
Just done stone effect on a base unit. They use fire blankets over the top (not foil) then fibreglass mixed with render. Same result with no externalheat, decopierreengland on facebook.
all respect is lost because of the "music"!!
Very nice…great job!!!
That shit must taste crazy good.
GF when it rains
mhhhhh…. che merda!!!!
Very big work
, but little oven
very big worg, but little oven
You should be making videos of that.
Any malaka can buy a kit
I have fallen in love with your pizza oven. I would love to build one for myself.
Where can I buy this Mediterranean pizza oven kit? Thank you very much and best regards. Bob
im not going to built one..i was just bored
this frickin thing is worth more than a house
would bricks or pavers on the ground work?
wow the best i love to make it for my mom in my country we cld it tandor we can make every thing in side bread good job man
complimenti bravissimo
Nice job, but in my climate you'd have to put a bed of gravel under the slab for drainage or it would heave from winter frost.
haha best video, good job, keep it comming!
Who supplies the kit?

Karaoke + WiFi + Friendly Bartender = Happy Writer
Options to sing Goth Karaoke in addition to the expected classics + Entertaining Company + Friendly Bartender = Very Happy Writer
I love that I live in a burg where I can text a bar owner to verify that there's WiFi in the bar before heading over with my lap-tot. (Tiny lap-top) Once I get the verification, I head over to where people are already singing VNV Nation and Wolfsheim mixed in with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Cyndi Lauper. DJs Sparquis and Twig keep the mood fun and though they are dressed in black and singing Ministry and Dead Can Dance, they'll still play that song that gets most everyone to dance in a line. (I'm told it's called the "Cupid Shuffle.")
Albuquerque Rocks, and tonight, Retro's Bar is a good place to be. I'm having a "Vanilla Coke" and working on my book in a booth in front of the stage, with just enough distraction to make it feel like a mini-vacation, even though my word count is going up exponentially.
Let me make a small plea to my fellow New Mexican bar-goers: find your neighborhood bar and go to it. Give your hard working DJs credit where credit is due (these guys are going out of their way to have any song you want to sing, even if it will never be played on local radio outside of KUNM) and spend your money locally. Yeah, I want this bar (and other local Burque spots) to be here in five years, I've got some songs to dedicate on the mic, and they don't rock it like they do here anywhere else that I've found, and I've been looking. It's not perfect, but it feels like home- at least on Tuesday nights. This isn't an ad for Retro's specifically, it's a beacon of light to let you know that your home bar is out there, and I think that it might be around the corner for you: get out there and look.
(Around the corner for me is about a ten minute drive since don't live in the heights. I also frequent the Albuquerque Press Club and love Gecko's on Academy when I'm in a gastropub mood. Your great local spot is out there, go find it! Two cute drunk girls are singing Mariah Carey's "Hero" to you right now, get inspired. Already found it? Post a comment and share the wealth!)

A once-British jewel
In the crystal clear waters of the Ionian, Cofu has variety at every turn, from heaving, neon-decked resorts in the south to sheltered coves and deserted beaches in its mountainous north. Take a trip offshore to spend the day on nearby Paxos and tiny Antipaxos for a different, more unplugged version of Greece.
K�rkyra Town offers the best shopping opportunities. Quality leather articles can be found along the main pedestrianised street Nikif�rou Theot�kou, while silversmiths cluster along its parallel Evgen�ou Voulg�reos. Famously innovative jeweller and goldsmith Ilias Lalaounis has an outlet nearby (Kapodistr�ou 35). Prime stop for aficionados of Greek music should be Ihos 65 (Ag�on P�ndon 4), with genial Marios Tsangarakis the second-generation proprietor. With a landscape mantled in olives, olive-wood souvenirs are ubiquitous, though more along rural roads than in town.
Food & Drink
Unusual recipes, an often demanding wealthy clientele and varied local ingredients make Corfu a top foodie destination. Doyen of the town restaurants has to be pricey Rex (Kapodistr�ou 66), with creative Mediterranean recipes. Around the corner, ideal for a budget lunch, long-running Khyrsomallis (aka Babis; Nikif�rou Theot�kou 6), serves all the Greek casserole standards washed down by smooth but potent barrelled wine. For seafood, look no further than Klimataria tou Bellou (main square, Ben�tses) or Boukari Bay (Bo�kari shore road), while Foros does hearty country fare in the renovated Mt Pandokr�tor village of Pale� Per�thia.
For three weekends, fancy-dress parties, floats and filarmonik�s (brass marching bands, a Corfu speciality) take over the streets of Corfu. The trial and cremation of the 'King Carnival' effigy takes place on the third Sunday.
The most extravagant observance in Greece. The Good Friday eve procession of the Epit�fios or Christ's funeral bier is accompanied by dirges from various filarmonik�s. Saturday morning sees pottery hurled from upper stories (to banish bad luck), before the midnight Resurrection Mass, accompanied by spectacular fireworks displays.
Paleokastr�tsa hosts Corfu's biggest summer spectacle, with musical performances at dusk, while after dark there's a re-enactment of Odysseus' battle with Poseidon and discovery by Nausikaa, before small, torchlit boats enter the bay, fireworks soar skyward and a beach party kicks off.
Against all odds, and constant funding difficulties, this annual, one-day 'Corfu soul, rock and folk festival' keeps going strong. It takes place in the mid-island village of �gios Io�nnis.
St Spyridon Processions
March/April, August and November
On Palm Sunday, Easter Saturday, 11 August and the first Sunday in November, the relics of Corfu's patron saint go walkabout through K�rkyra Town streets, in thanks for the several times 'Spyros' has saved the island from disaster.
Hotels are scattered across the island, behind the popular beach resorts, and also in the elegant capital, K�rkyra. A top choice in town is Bella Venezia Hotel (N. Zamb�li 4), just three floors of rooms installed in a neo-classical former girls' school. A short way west of K�rkyra, the five-star Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa has its own gorgeous beach and appeals to families. Above P�lekas, affordable Levant is built in mock rustic style, with sweeping views east and west, marble and wood everywhere. In northwesterly �gios St�fanos, Delfino Blu overlooks an excellent beach and presents boutique standards in its pastel-hued units, with a gourmet restaurant downstairs.
