The Division of Water works to ensure public health protection through primacy of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and the provision of potable water. Potable water is defined as finished water, after treatment, that is safe and satisfactory for drinking and cooking. Public water and water distribution systems in Kentucky are regulated by DOW.
"Primacy" refers to primary enforcement responsibility awarded to the state by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1977. Learn more about Kentucky's primacy of SDWA.
Use the public access drinking water database to find information about water systems in Kentucky excluding bottled water and semipublic water systems. Questions regarding the drinking water database should be directed to Jerry Pike at 502-782-7039.
List of drinking water acronyms and their definitions
The water quality in private wells and cisterns used for drinking water is not regulated by the state or EPA. Learn more from EPA about private drinking water wells.
Contact your local health department to have well water tested.
For more information on wells, including a directory of certified well drillers, visit the Division of Water groundwater management Web page.
Public drinking water systems may be publicly or privately owned. System classification is based on the number of individuals served or the number of service connections. In general, a public water system serves at least 25 people or has 15 service connections for at least 60 days per year. Public water systems are further classified into community water systems or noncommunity water systems.
Public water system services include collection, treatment, storage and distribution facilities under control of the operator of the system and used primarily in connection with the system as well as collection and pretreatment storage facilities not under control of the operator of the water system but that are primarily used in connection with the water system [401 KAR 8:010, Section 1(102)].
As a condition of primacy, the state must adopt and administer state rules that are at least as stringent as federal requirements. If the state did not administer the SDWA requirements, EPA would directly enforce the requirements in Kentucky.
Access to public water supply regulations for Kentucky is available from the Legislative Research Commission (LRC), Title 401 KAR Chapter 8.
Access to the drinking water federal regulations are available at 40 CFR part 141 and 143.

Robyn Regehr Weighing Options Before Waiving NMC
Earlier today, before the Flyers set the Twitter-faring hockey world ablaze, Darren Dreger revealed that the Flames had asked Robyn Regehr to waive his no move clause (NMC) to complete a deal with the Sabres.
Early in the afternoon, Darren Dreger tweeted something no one – least of all Sabres fans – saw coming:
It sent Sabres fans into a tizzy. Regehr is the kind of defenseman that the Sabres desperately need – big, strong, durable, and mean. A fair comparison is Toni Lydman, only bigger (6'3″, 225lbs) and with more snarl. His plays a physical yet smart brand of hockey (2010/2011: 180 hits, 142 blocked shot, and only 58 penalty minutes). He'd immediately become one of the most durable skaters on the Sabres' back end (29 missed games since the end of the lockout). He's the kind of stay at home defenseman the Sabres need to keep the crease clear and partner with Myers on the top pair. Coincidentally, Myers' potential new partner is also his childhood favorite player.
Besides his positional stay-at-home play and frightening hits along the perimeter, Regehr also brings with him that steady veteran presence that the Sabres really need along the blue line. He'd be the perfect partner for Myers and his free-wheeling offensive game, plus he's an ideal mentor for both Myers and Weber in developing their defensive game and evolving their tempers.
Shortly after revealing the pending trade between the Flames and Sabres, Darren offered up more details as he discovered them:
It makes sense for the established defenseman to really weigh whether or not to waive his NMC to be traded to Buffalo. A family man, Regehr risks uprooting his wife and son to play a couple of years (or more) for a team on the other side of the continent across the 49th parallel. It's something Jay McKee mentioned to me today, warning that if he doesn't waive it that's likely the reason why.
Rumored to be talking to former or current Flames teammates who have played for the Sabres, and having spoken to both Darcy Regier and Terry Pegula, it should come as no surprise to anyone that he's sleeping on it before making a decision. However, he isn't just holding up the Sabres' plans by taking his time thinking it through – the Flames have other matters to attend to:
With the Flames reportedly seeking to acquire homesick Canadian hero Ryan Smyth (who has cited family reasons for wanting to return to his homeland), I asked The Fourth Period's Dennis Bernstein if Regehr waiving his NMC is the final piece of the puzzle that needs to fall in order for the Flames to be able to get Smyth. His answer:
It's not known at all who is going to Calgary should Regehr elect to waive his NMC. A couple of names that have popped up are Luke Adam and Marcus Foligno. It's also been discussed that Regehr possibly wouldn't be the only Flame on his way to Buffalo if it happened. From the Sabres standpoint, the rights to Butler and/or Sekera would probably be the ideal foundation for this trade if only Regehr is coming back; Adam seems like he would be the foundation of a deal with more pieces coming back than leaving.
With the Sabres not giving the Flames a timeframe in which they'd like Regehr to waive his NMC or not, I expect the savvy veteran to take his sweet time deliberating on whether or not to leave the only organization he's ever known in pro hockey. It would be a boon for the new Sabres regime to convince someone like Regehr to come to Buffalo, but given the likely factor that would be behind him possibly declining, it wouldn't be a huge setback if he refused either. I guess we'll find out what happens tomorrow or maybe later.

New Security Dongle
It looks like an interesting option for anyone really worried about the security of the account, as it enables proper two-factor authentication. You will be able to purchase it from the Blizzard store for $6.50, which is a pretty reasonable price, in my opinion.
The only issue is that this is optional, and some of the people who would get the most use out of this will not hear about it or pick it up.
It will be interesting to see the effect of this Blizzard Authenticator on the game. For example, account sharing is rampant among the high end. But the people at the high end also have the most to lose to a hacked account, and are the mostly likely to purchase and use the Authenticator. And that may cut down on tactics like getting someone else to play your character in Arenas.
It might also have an effect on guilds. A lot of guilds are very concerned about security for the Guild Bank. I can see a guild requiring that all its members, or at least all the officers, purchase and use the Authenticator.
It's good to see that Blizzard has been taking security more seriously lately. They took my advice on disabling hyperlinks on the official forums, and are now introducing a good two-factor authentication system. However, I still think that the default game experience needs to be a little more secure.
14 comments:
It sounds like a very good optional extra to me, but the procedure for 'I've lost my dongle' (*sniggers*) will need to be quite stringent so as not to open up a back door to account hackers.ReplyDelete
In fact, I think it would be a very good idea to include them in vanilla/Collectors Editions of both the Expansion and the Wrath+TBC Battlechest.
I think Blizzard will keep the Authenticator completely optional. That way, the only people who buy them are the people who want them, and that will reduce a lot of customer service issues.ReplyDelete
Ah, yes, the nebulous concern that is Customer Service. Yep, you're probably right, but I still think that it may be a 'nice' thing to include in the Collectors Edition pack of Wrath along with the usual masses of bumph.ReplyDelete
Yeah, after thinking about it a bit more, I believe you are right, and I see this as more of a trial run. If it works well, Blizz can very easily put one in the WotLK boxes.ReplyDelete
If it works for al Blizz games going forward and remains an optional device - its a good thing. Raises a question about using different PCs and how many could be authorised.ReplyDelete
My humble opinion is that this will not be broadly adopted. I certainly won't be using one as I move between so many machines and have a tendency to loose my keys.
A software based solution would make more sense, and if Blizzard really want to stop accounts being hacked, they should allow us to:
(a) change out account name as well as password
(b) set minimum complexity rules
(c) have the wow forums using a different login to the account login.
(d) dont show "account already in use" when creating a new account name. When creating my account I was told that my first few choices were already in use. Thats half the user/pass combination hacked right there.
Typhoon, you don't connect it to your machine. It's just a fob that you put on your key ring and can carry around with you.ReplyDelete
Essentially, it generates a new code every minute, which is displayed on a little LCD on the fob itself. The server then calculates what code the fob should be displaying and compares it to what you send to it.
It's completely independent of what computer and game you are using. Though if you have a habit of losing your keys, I don't think this would help. Maybe attaching it to your wallet. Kind of honestly, if I lose my keys or wallet, my WoW account is going to be the least of my concerns.
As for your suggestions, remember that hackers don't "guess" passwords. It's very easy for Blizzard to detect that someone is trying to guess the password and prevent future attempts at logging in. Hackers use keyloggers and similar cracks to guarantee getting the correct user name and password, regardless of password strength.
- Anonymous8:24 PM, June 26, 2008
I just wonder why they didn't do this in the game software itself instead of a "hardware" ad-on. For example, you could have the optional step of selecting an icon after you input your correct password. Something visual and not password related and cannot be hacked. So a secondary screen would show say 50 icons from the game and you pick the one which you set everytime you log in. This means if someone did keylog you, they still have to guess what your icon is. Make it 2 or 3 wrong guesses and your account is locked. While there's still a small chance the logger could guess correctly (say 3 of 50), it would make it more difficult to get hacked and wouldn't cost anything. And it can be optional so if you are not worried about this stuff you don't have to do it.ReplyDelete
Ooh, a hardware "dongle"... how about as mentioned, make the forum login different from game login and adding in software authentication methods. If my friggin credit card, banks and phone company can do it.. so can blizzard. Hell my phone company makes you use a special code (which they postal mail to you lol).ReplyDelete
- Callissa5:13 AM, June 27, 2008
I fail to see how this will help with account sharing like you mentioned. When I was still playing WoW, we had at least one or two people playing someone else's character on each raid night, even if only for a special encounter or two.ReplyDelete
Now if it is only a randomly generated number for which you carry the generator around, I can easily call my guildmate and ask for the current key, can't I? The only solution would be a hardware dongle, and those are a pain in the ass anyways. :P
"Something visual and not password related and cannot be hacked."ReplyDelete
Sure it can.
Good keyloggers would simply write in a command that takes a snapshot of your screen every .x seconds after submitting your password. They could crack the Blizzard encoding of your packets and simply read what picture you sent (this one is a little far-fetched as the encoding is very well done actually).
That is the great thing about these little keyfobs. The numbers are randomized and the algorithm is complex enough that to crack it would take so many man hours that it wouldn't be feasible from a monetary perspective. As long as you have the fob your account is pretty damn safe.
It won't be the death of keyloggers, as until they are mandatory many people won't want the "hassle" of typing in an extra number to log in. It will make a huge difference though for those of us who are worried about account security, and this is clearly a step in the right direction by Blizzard.
- Anonymous9:26 AM, June 27, 2008
My company already uses these for individuals that work remotely - if you dont have your token, you dont log into the company system. Very simple.
Secure tokens are an amazing idea and definitely will eliminate the stolen account issues. I am debating getting one myself as I have one for work already.ReplyDelete
For those that are not familiar, when an account is enabled your password would disappear. In its place you would have a combination of a PIN and the six digit number that appears on the dongle. The number on the dongle changes every 60 seconds. If someone were able to steal the PIN, in 60 seconds it would do them no good.
I feel dumb typing this, but I made a post on your rating requirements post (as anonymous), and I'd be delighted if you'd consider responding to it, and this is the only way I can think to call your attention to a comment made in an old post: http://blessingofkings.blogspot.com/2008/05/being-on-path.htmlReplyDelete
Very interesting. These dongles are appearing much more frequently on secure sites and I think it is a very good idea to protect the months of work put into a character for just $6.50.ReplyDelete
I just posted an article on mage pvp on my blog if you are interested at World of warcraft blog

Pulsations (6.29.12)
Here are the latest Pulsations, links to fresh stories and visuals about Japan, shout-outs to fellow bloggers, and highly clickable stuff that we think you might enjoy.
In no particular order, they are . . .
- Why raising the consumption tax is a good idea, and good politics (from Mutant Frog): A must-read for anyone who wants to engage in the debate. Blogger Adam Richards offers a reasoned argument on why raising the consumption tax is good fiscal policy as well as a wise political move. The debate in the comments is smart, too.
- Fujimori's new "Trojan Pig" tea house (from Spoon & Tomago): Japanese architect extraordinaire Terunobu Fujimori is famous for designing striking and unique tea houses. His latest creation, which has been likened to a "trojan pig," does not disappoint. But why a pig?
- Sculpture or photography? (from Art It): We all know photographs can freeze a moment in time, but have you ever considered sculpture as a medium for doing so? Artist Rirkrit Tiravanija has. Read about how he started creating these full-size scenes, his ideas, inspiration, and latest solo exhibition at Gallery Side 2 in Tokyo.
- Japanese photo exhibit on Korean "comfort women" sabotaged (from Global Voices): During World War II, the Japanese military forced tens of thousands of foreign women into sex slavery for soldiers overseas. Known as "comfort women" these victims were made to endure horrible atrocities. Ahn Se-Hong, a South Korean photographer who documented the now aging women, has faced numerous obstacles leading up to and during his Tokyo exhibition.
- Green-roofs in Saitama Prefecture (from Japan for Sustainability): No, those aren't weeds you see growing on the roof of your local konbini. Well, they might be, unless you live in Saitama Prefecture. The region has introduced a green-roof project for local convenience stores, which can help off-set carbon emissions.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Education, food and the environment are top concerns for children around the globe, and particularly for youngsters growing up in developing countries, according to an international poll released on Tuesday.
Half of children, aged 10 to 12, in emerging nations who were questioned in the Small Voices, Big Dreams survey cited education, followed by food, clothing and shelter as the areas they would focus on as leader of their nation to improve children's lives.
"We're always surprised and inspired to see how much emphasis children in developing countries put on education," said Steven Stirling, executive vice president of ChildFund International, a children's advocacy non-profit formerly known as the Christian Children's Fund.
"It shows the depth of maturity of children, who clearly understand the connection between education and changing their worlds for the better," he added in an interview.
Providing food, clothing and shelter was the top response given by children from developed nations, and the environment and was a concern for everyone.
The findings are based on online interviews with 6,204 children from 47 nations in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe. The children were also asked about their aspirations, experiences with disasters and environmental concerns and priorities.
Although one third or more of children in developing countries had experienced natural disasters such as floods, drought or fires, pollution was a bigger worry for them.
Children in poorer nations worried about global warming but youngsters in rich countries did not list it as a concern.
Sterling suggested that global warming might be less of a worry in richer nations because children in developing countries are experiencing more natural disasters that have a greater, negative impact.
"Their ideas for environmental solutions were encouraging: across the world, nearly half of children said they'd either plant more trees, build additional green spaces or decrease littering to help improve the planet," he said.
"Complex social problems affecting children are better addressed if children are part of the solution," he added.
Children from developing nations also differed sharply with those from developed nations when it came to career aspirations.
More than half of children in developing countries said they wanted to be a teacher or healthcare professional, while those in developed countries, whom Stirling noted often had the luxury of choosing a career, wanted to be a professional athlete.
But when asked, "What are you most afraid of?" the worldwide response was the same — animals.

"In its relatively short existence, Glass has seen some myths develop around it," Google explained on its Google+ page for Glass. "While we're flattered by the attention, we thought it might make sense to tackle them, just to clear the air."
Yet Google has not addressed perhaps the most important question about Glass: Does it have a future? Technology blogger Robert Scoble, an early fan of Google Glass, published a Google+ post on Wednesday expressing doubts about Google's commitment to the project. Scoble, who thrives on taking provocative positions, said Google's lack of clarity about Glass's intended purpose indicates that Google hasn't made up its mind about how it sees Glass. And in the absence of clear answers, Scoble says technology investors have become reluctant to fund Glass-oriented projects.
Google offered a restrained response. "We always appreciate feedback from everyone -- even Robert -- on how to make Glass better," a company spokesman said in an email. "In the last 10 months we have shipped nine new software updates and made three hardware updates based, in large part, on feedback from our Explorers. We continue to move quickly and are excited by what's coming down the pike. Glass remains a prototype and we'll keep improving it before making it more widely available to consumers."

Google has in the past abandoned products that have been slow to take off, like iGoogle and Google Wave. But in attempting to dispel Glass myths, it's clear the company is trying to counter negative public perception. Confronting the problems head-on seems inconsistent with a plan to throw in the towel.
These myths are the ones that worry Google.
1. Glass is the ultimate distraction from the real world. Google argues that Glass lets you look up and engage with the world rather than staring into a phone or tablet: "Big moments in life -- concerts, your kid's performances, an amazing view -- shouldn't be experienced through the screen you're trying to capture them on. That's why Glass is off by default and only on when you want it to be."
Translation: You can still be human if you use Glass, even if you look like a cyborg.
It's a fair point. But Google isn't going so far as to question whether it's necessary to capture all those big moments in life. Some things in life are best experienced in all their glorious impermanence, unrecorded and unmediated.
2. Glass is always on and recording everything. "Just like your cellphone, the Glass screen is off by default. Video recording on Glass is set to last 10 seconds. People can record for longer, but Glass isn't designed for or even capable of always-on recording (the battery won't last longer than 45 minutes before it needs to be charged)."
Translation: Read the manual! We've already explained this at length in our Glass FAQs.
Oh, Google. If you had only seen your own 2009 video "What is a browser?" you might have anticipated the inevitability that people would misunderstand Glass. The video is a reminder that not everyone cares about fine distinctions like "off by default" and "on by default." In the real world, people don't even know what a web browser is. They just want stuff that does something useful and they're not inclined to think too deeply about it.
3. Glass Explorers are technology-worshipping geeks. "Our Explorers come from all walks of life. They include parents, firefighters, zookeepers, brewmasters, film students, reporters, and doctors. The one thing they have in common is that they see the potential for people to use technology in a way that helps them engage more with the world around them, rather than distract them from it."
Translation: If you're having trouble engaging with the world, our technology can help you, nerd. That, and Glass can be useful to anyone who can't spare his or her hands to manage a keyboard or tablet while on the job.
There's a second thing Glass Explorers have in common: A spare $1,500 to join the Explorer club. A better strategy would be to argue that Explorers are, as you suspected, technology-worshipping geeks, but these are the exact people you want testing Glass.
4. Glass is ready for prime time. "Glass is a prototype, and our Explorers and the broader public are playing a critical role in how it's developed... And, in the future, today's prototype may look as funny to us as that mobile phone from the mid '80s."
Translation: You should see the contact lens we're developing.
Really, we should be grateful to Google for testing Glass in public. The issues it raises about the social expectations of privacy and personal interaction

Las Vegas
Las Vegas (läs vā´gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. Revenue from hotels (including many of the world's largest), gambling, entertainment, theme parks, resorts, and other tourist-oriented industries forms the backbone of the economy. The nightclubs, casinos, and championship boxing matches are world famous, and entertainment enterprises have led to an increasing array of music, sports, gambling, and amusement centers up and down the main
as the city succeeded in the 1990s in redefining itself as a family resort, complete with monorail (opened 2004). Its 1,149-ft (350-m) Stratosphere Tower is the country's tallest observation tower. The city is also the commercial hub of a ranching and mining area and has diverse manufacturing, including gaming equipment.
In the 19th cent. Las Vegas was a watering place for travelers bound for southern California. In 1855–57 the Mormons maintained a fort there, and in 1864, Fort Baker was built by the U.S. army. In 1867 Las Vegas was detached from the Arizona Territory and joined to Nevada. Its main growth began with the completion of a railroad in 1905. In 2017 the city was the site of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history; a shooter in a hotel killed 58 and injured more than 500 at an outdoor concert.
A campus of the Univ. of Nevada is there, and Las Vegas also has a number of museums, including ones devoted to natural history, old neon signs from the strip, the entertainer Liberace, and atomic testing. Nellis Air Force Base lies to the north of the city, and Hoover Dam is nearby.

HOME > Consumer Info > Work at Home Schemes
Work-At-Home Schemes
The targets of the work-at-home schemes are those who need extra money but who are not able to work outside their homes. Victims typically include
mothers at home caring for young children, the unemployed, the elderly, handicapped persons and people with low incomes.
These advertisements typically promise a "large income" for working on projects "in great demand." Some promotions stress
"no experience is necessary." Others indicate that "no investment is required." The one characteristic common to all of
these schemes is that you are required to purchase something before you are able to start any work.
Probably the most common kind of work-at-home scheme is envelope stuffing. Typically all you receive for your money, if any thing at all, are
instructions to place an ad like the one you answered. Remember, modern mailing techniques and equipment have virtually eliminated the need for
home workers to perform legitimate envelope stuffing, addressing, and mailing services from home.
Some work-at-home schemes don't really offer work in the home. Rather, they sell ideas for setting up home businesses. Other scams require
you to raise animals or produce items such as sewing baby booties or aprons. You are not told that you must sell the items yourself and that there
is generally little or no market for them.
Sometimes promoters of these schemes will tell you that "no selling is required." They promise to buy back any items that you produce
as long as your workmanship is acceptable. Of course, these promoters will reject everything that you send to them based on the product not meeting
its high standards. You are left to sell the items on your own, if you can.

Eddie Van Halen on Band's Early Cover Song Days: 'We Sounded Pretty Silly'
Van Halen has issued the third in their videotaped series of self-interviews, and this episode finds the three current and original members of the group joking and laughing about their early days as well as their ill-fated attempts to accurately cover hit dance songs of the era.
Talking about the early gigs when Van Halen was employed to perform popular songs at small clubs, guitarist Eddie Van Halen noted that when they tried to replicate hits such as the Isley Brothers' 'It's Your Thing,' the results came out more like Black Sabbath: "We sounded pretty silly playing some of that stuff."
Not that they're apologetic. "Tone separates this band" from the others, notes Van Halen. "It's my voice… a lot of it has to do with the way I play." He teases Roth for his attempts to get the group to sound more like the original records, to which Diamond Dave sheepishly explains, "That was more of a financial imperative."
The singer goes on to explain that he is still surprised that more people don't pick up on what he perceives as his own obvious attempts to pay tribute to some of his singing heroes on Van Halen records. "To this day, I laugh when nobody gets it. Cause to me, it's so obvious I'm imitating so and so…"
The group also fondly remembers the hotel they were at when they found out about their first gold-selling record, and how they were thrown out not for trashing the place but rather because a crew member stole a pillow. We strongly suggest you watch every minute of this interview, it's great to see these three together like this.
In fact, we'd like to suggest that all classic rock bands line up in front of this very same oriental rug set and tell old stories for two hours, and that the resulting program be put on television in place of 'The Voice,' 'American Idol' and 'X Factor.' Who's with us?

Moon Pie Bites
Moon Pies are a Tennessee treat, a little marshmallow sandwich featuring round graham crackers and then a thin mockolate coating. They've been around since 1917, though they're a bit of a regional treat and sometimes hard to find. They're something between a candy and a snack, because of the graham cracker element. They're also pretty big, so I can see why it's an appealing idea to morselize them.
Taste of Nature makes Cookie Dough Bites and a variety of other little morsel items sold in theater boxes. The Moon Pie Bites sound pretty good, "Delicious marshmallow & graham in a chocolatey coating." Well, until you get to the coating part.
The pieces actually smell pretty good. They vary in size, but most are between the size of a pea and a garbanzo.
The the description says it's marshmallow, it's actually just marshmallow flavored and there's no gelatin in the list of ingredients. So these are fine for vegetarians and they're Kosher. However, it is a mockolate coating, which is made from sugar and palm oil and whey and some cocoa, among other ingredients. It looks decent, but doesn't really add a chocolate component to this combination candy.
The overwhelming scent of the pieces is graham. It's a pleasant cereal sort of smell, kind of like vanilla and digestive biscuits and maple syrup.
The pieces are a bit crumbly and dry inside. They're grainy and have little crumbly graham cracker bits in them. The mockolate coating is neither waxy or greasy, so that's kind of a blessing. It's a little cool on the tongue but doesn't really ruin the otherwise disappointing candy. All elements are equally bad. The center has little sugary bits, the vanilla flavor is overly fake, the graham bits have little of the crunch of real crackers and the chocolatey coating isn't chocolatey.
Moon Pie Bites contain wheat, milk and soy. They area also made in a facility with peanuts, tree nuts and eggs.

Cookies 'n' Cream Bites
I've been on a roll with the Cookie Dough Bites line of products lately. This box of Cookies 'n Cream Bites says it's new, but the product was announced back in January 2010.
New! From the Makers of Cookie Dough Bites - Creamy White Chocolatey Balls with Crumbled Pieces of Cookie.
One of the wonderful things about the Oreo type cookies is the deep, charcoal flavor of the cookie itself. It's not terribly sweet, crisp and with a sandy, crumbly texture that's just had to beat either as a cookie or as the base of a cream pie. Crumble those cookies up and put them inside other things? Pure brilliance. Some ice creams put in the cream centers of the cookies, but this is completely unnecessary, the vanilla ice cream base takes care of the "cream" part of the Cookies 'n' Cream name.
Another dreamy component of the mix of ice cream and cookie pieces is the chaos of it all. In any bite you might get grainy crumbs or a large, dry piece of cookie, so big you can actually crunch it. The texture is inconsistent in the best way possible.
Now that you can see the cross section of these nuggets, you can see where this review is going to go. The center of the candy is a dough ball made up of a white "cookie" base with a few grains of the chocolate cookie. Then it's all coated with the palm oil, sugar and milk "cream" along with a smattering of cookie bits.
What should have happened was the center should have been the dark cookie and the outside the mix of the cream and more cookie bits.
But I have to review what's in front of me.
The Bites vary in size, from the size of a Milk Chocolate M&M to the size of a Peanut M&M. They're kind of grey with little speckles of black from the cookie bits. They smell sweet and milky. The cream coating is fudgy and sweet, but with very little in the way of "melt in your mouth" qualities. The center of the bites are a little on the dough-side, not moist and with a light taste of raw flour. The center isn't as sweet as the outside and sometimes I detect a little salt in there. The hint of cocoa and true cookies is completely missing. Sometimes I'd get a little sense of them, but only as some sort of rest from the overt sweetness of the cream.
I can say with confidence that these aren't the worst thing that I've had in the Cookie Dough Bites line. But they're also far from the best. The center of the Brownie Bites would have been far better in this instance. If you're looking for a chocolate cookie candy without all that pesky chocolate flavor, then step right up. These are sweet and have only a smidge more flavor than the Cupcake Bites (and no artificial colors) so they get a 4 out of 10.

Cinnamon Bun Bites
Taste of Nature has nugget-ized many favorite sweet snacks with their line of Cookie Dough Bites. One of their new offerings is Cinnamon Bun Bites which promises bite size cinnamon bun pieces in a white chocolatey coating.
The box for Cinnamon Bun Bites is eye catching, I spotted it quite easily at Cost Plus World Market as a new item that I was seeking. The front of the box says that they're new and have fresh from the oven taste. It's been quite a few years since I had a fresh cinnamon bun, but I admit that enjoy the hot ones with the white sugary glaze (though the pecan sticky rolls are still one of my favorites). The essential elements of a cinnamon bun would be the chewy, yeasty dough, the cinnamon and the sticky, sugary glaze that pulls it all together.
The nuggets vary quite a bit in size but most are disk-like and about a half an inch around. They do actually smell like sweet cinnamony rolls. The waxy and greasy white coating is made of sugar and palm kernel oil with some other stuff thrown in, but basically it's nothing like real white chocolate or even a vague approximation except for the fact that it's white. The doughy center has a slight texture of a batter with distinct undissolved sugar and the flavor of cinnamon and raw flour.
I found it much better than I expect. I fully thought they would be disgusting and inedible. I'm not saying that they're great or something that I'm even interested in eating, but I found the cinnamon flavor and sweetness level (which was rather moderate) to be passable. The white coating is simply terrible though, a real white chocolate might actually make these into a unique candy. Since I reviewed these after the Cupcake Bites, they really couldn't fare much worse by comparison.

Cupcake Bites
In the world of trends in sweets, one of the biggest has been the rise of cupcakes. There are hundreds of blogs devoted to the various iterations of the small baked goods. Of course the trend is not limited to actual cupcakes, there are all sorts of merchandising opportunities as well as spin-off products like Cupcake Bites from Taste of Nature, the same company that makes Cookie Dough Bites.
The box is actively ugly with a mix of styles and cultural references that make little sense to me. First, the color yellow (background) with the pink "frosting" top with sprinkles is The Simpsons (see the movie poster) and the text style isn't an exact copy but there are definite similarities. Other than that, the fonts are a mess, at least five different ones from different font families, a mix of serif, san serif and handwriting.
The description on the back (which is even uglier as they introduced green drop shadow text in yet another font) says: Bite sized cupcake morsels coated with sprinkles and white frosting. They're egg free, kosher and made in the USA.
The concept is the same as the Cookie Dough Bites, a little moist nugget of some wheat based, sweet nodule is then covered in a confectionery coating. Here are the ingredients:
I'm just amazed that the White Kreemy Coating product doesn't have a trademark notice associated with it. And no, that's not a typo on my part with the listing of the first two ingredients for the white cake nor the lyrics to an Archies song.
I should mention that I don't like cupcakes. I don't actually like cake much at all either. So a candy that emulates such things is already not as compelling to me as some others might find it.
The nuggets are unappealing. They look like white molding clay that's been rolled around in other little bits ... it looks like the aftermath of a Mr. Bill clip.
The matte exterior is soft and has a light sweet scent, like inhaling a cake mix. The Kreemy Coating doesn't even rise to the level of fake white chocolate, it's just a stiff, sweet and slightly greasy coating. The cake center is a little doughy with a faint raw flour flavor to it. The whole effect is an absolute replication of bad grocery store sheet cake. Very sweet, mushy textures and no actual flavor to speak of.
The timing of the product is a little late for the trend, but I'm sure the company will still get some mileage out of it, as they're the only product like it on the shelves. But if you get a chance, maybe try the cupcake bites on sticks that started this craze.
Like the other Cookie Dough Bites products, the theater box comes with a clear plastic bag inside that actually holds the candy (so eating it at the movies involves opening it before the show starts unless you want to make a lot of noise). Though the package notes that it's egg free, it's actually made in a shared processing environment so they have an allergen notice for soy, wheat, milk, peanuts and tree nuts.

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
The box for Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites says New! in the corner, but I know these have been around for at least 18 months. There's no expiry date on the package, but the fact that I haven't seen them at the drug store before gives me hope that they're fresh. They certainly looked and smelled fresh.
The product itself references several other confections. The original Cookie Dough Bites are little soft and chewy bits of "cookie", like eating uncooked dough without the chance of salmonella since they're egg free. To make them a little easier to eat they're covered in chocolate. In this new version they're Mint Chocolate Chip, which is not a cookie flavor but is actually an ice cream flavor. Of course cookie dough is also an ice cream flavor now. Everything is an ice cream flavor now. If it's not, watch some Iron Chef, I'm sure it'll turn up there.
The box isn't very attractive, though at least it stood out from the other Cookie Dough Bites varieties because this one is green, which means mint. I don't care for the sheer number of fonts on the front (at least 6) while the back is even worse.
The nuggets are little discs of "cookie dough" covered in milk chocolate. They're nicely panned but not so highly glazed so they're waxy (though there is a little shellac coat on there that's hardly noticeable). They're about the size of a peanut but of course some are larger or smaller - some are conjoined twins.
They're called mint chocolate chip and the image on the package shows the cookie middles with little chocolate chips but I never saw any. I bit many in half, but there was no indication of chocolate chips in mine. They're covered in a milk chocolate and smell rather minty, kind of like ice cream. The centers are a little grainy, they way that cookie dough is, a great texture. The slightly gritty and minty center goes well with the sweet and milky chocolate outside. There's no real cocoa flavor to it, but the mouthfeel is good. They're sweet and the center is just a little salty, but they're just lacking something.
I know that there are lots of folks who just love Cookie Dough Bites, but they're just not my thing. I prefer a more substantial textural difference and better quality chocolate. I don't need partially hydrogenated vegetable oils in my candy.

Chocolate Covered Gummi Bears
There are a few candies still on my list of "I can't believe you haven't tried that before!" and chocolate covered gummi bears were one of them. Once I had the Japanese version, I realized I should try the original. They were invented over 30 years ago by none other than the ultimate "if it should be covered in chocolate, we'll cover it in chocolate" company: Koppers Chocolates.
When I was in San Francisco I found not only Koppers Milk Chocolate Covered Gummi Bears, but also the White Chocolate Polar Bears at Sweet Dish on Chestnut Street.
I'm not sure why I've been reticent about trying them. It might be that I was expecting a Haribo gummi bear, which are rather firm. Instead Koppers uses Swiss gummis (I don't know anything beyond that) that they are appropriately soft.
I got just a quarter of a pound each of mixed milk & polar bears to try. What struck me at first was the fact that all the white chocolate bears were the same milky yellow color. Even held up to the light, there was no indication what color the gummi bear beneath was.
What I found out later, after diligently sucking the chocolate off of enough of them for a scientific sample, is that they're all the same color (whether milk or white covered)! Though they're yellow, I'm hard pressed to say that they're lemon flavored, merely that they're a sweet & tangy mix.
The milk chocolate was pretty smooth, and very milky tasting. It melted well and didn't have that light waxy glaze that many other panned candies have. The white chocolate was similarly milky in its taste, but not too sweet. As a combination goes, I still wasn't completely on board with having chocolate with my gummi bears. They're cute and easy to eat, but I think I might like them apart.

To be fair, even though Koppers invented the confectionery genre of chocolate covered gummi bears, the ones I see most often in drug stores, movie theaters & discount chains are called Muddy Bears and are made by Taste of Nature (who also makes Cookie Dough Bites) which I think is an awesome name for an unappetizing looking product.
The box features a yellow bear who is entirely too happy to be covered in chocolate. I'm not sure if he understands that once he's sealed in his confectionery shell he's doomed.
I've only seen them in the theater sized boxes. Inside the box is a cellophane pouch that holds the bears and keeps them fresh. (And makes for extra wrapper noises at the theater and probably scowly looks from me if I'm sitting near.)
As unattractive as the Koppers were, I think the Muddy Bears are even worse. But since they're meant to be eaten at the movies based on the packaging, I'm going to guess that doesn't matter much. (For the record, I like candy that looks the same after sitting unwrapped at the bottom of my purse, so that when I switch purses and find it down there, I know what it is ... and then I eat it.)
One of the big differences in the products is the gummi center. Muddy Bears use multi-flavored gummis. Of course being covered in milk chocolate there's no way to know which flavor is which. It's a benign chocolate-covered Russian roulette. Mostly I seemed to get green apple.
The chocolate coating seems a bit crumbly, not as smooth melting as the Koppers and very sweet without much of a "chocolate" taste. I can't see myself buying these.
Candy Addict did a review last summer as well, interestingly, their photo of the box says, "The Original", I'm guessing Koppers took issue with the accuracy and they've changed it to the version I have.

Meiji Gummy Choco set the bar too high. Their candies come in lots of different flavors, they're packaged so nicely, the price is right even for an import and if you get a flavor mix, they're color coded. But if you're not able to get a hold of those, give the Koppers a try (you'll probably see them in bulk bins), if the shop also carries chocolate cordials, they're probably Koppers.

Cookie Dough Bites
Here's another candy that has been around for years but I simply have not tried: Cookie Dough Bites. The concept of the candy is pretty simple, soft nuggets of "cookie dough" covered in chocolate. After all, loads of people love to eat cookie dough as they're making a batch and how many romantic comedies feature the heroine sitting around eating a chub of the pre-made stuff to drown her sorrows in the third act?
I guess the main reason that I've never tried them is that they don't come in a single-serve size, just in these big theater concession boxes. I don't go to the movies that often and I'll admit that I stick to my tried-and-true favorites: Junior Mints, Good & Plenty and SweeTarts.
All of the boxes make note that they are EGG FREE. Now, at first I looked at that and I though, what is E.G.G., is this something like Non-GMO? It took me a few moments to realize that they meant, eggs, plain old eggs. It makes sense that when you say cookie dough people might think that there's raw eggs in there. Not only are there no raw eggs though, there simply aren't any eggs at all. Of course the allergen alert does go on to mention that they're made in a facility that also processes eggs (and peanuts, nuts, milk solids, wheat and soy), so it's not like that note is anything other than an advertisement that there's no salmonella.
Milk Chocolate Cookie Dough Bites are the original product in the line. The nuggets vary in size, some are as large as a hazelnut and some as small as a pea.
The image on the front shows little bits fo chocolate chip cookie dough being drenched in milk chocolate. However, I bit a lot of these in half and never found any chocolate chips. Or even flecks.
No biggie, the chocolate coating takes up that contribution of chocolate chips quite well.
The center is not quite a moist dough, it's a little more chalky ... but not quite shortbread territory. It reminds me more of sugar cookie dough than chocolate chip cookie dough, as CCCD has a touch of brown sugar.
They're suprisingly tasty. The chocolate isn't at all notable, it smells a bit like chocolate, but isn't really that creamy or satisfying. The easy chew & pop some more qualities make them an excellent movie snack.
Rating: 5 out of 10
Unlike the Milk Chocolate version, I actually found a few chocolate chips in the Dark Chocolate Covered Cookie Dough Bites! I don't think it made much of a difference overall.
The dark chocolate also isn't truly dark, it has some milkfat in it, but it's not like anyone expected these to be vegan otherwise.
The general texture and bite was similar to the milk chocolate, perhaps a little "drier" but still very munchable. I appreciated that they didn't taste quite as sweet (those paying attention to the nutrition label will see that the dark one actually has more fat and less sugar). The dark chocolate was a little chalky sometimes, but had a dry finish that kept them from being too cloying. The cookie centers have a slight sugary grain to them that works pretty well.
Rating: 5 out of 10
To be honest, I was more interested in the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites than the original and I think that interest was well founded.
They look just like the original Milk Chocolate Cookie Dough bites, but even after I took them out of the package for the photographs, I could tell them apart with a quick sniff. These smell like peanut butter all the way.
The chocolate seems creamier on this version than the other bites, I'm going to guess that the fattiness of the peanuts helped. The center is softer and not quite as chalky as the others, it seemed to almost melt in the mouth. The peanut butter flavor is light and fresh, but kind of lacks that "fresh roasted flavor" that peanut butter cups have. I could have used just a smidge more salt and perhaps a sugary grain to sell the dough part.
Though they're not quite the same, fans of Reese's Bites might enjoy this as a replacement of that discontinued product. (It's still not quite as peanutty.)
Rating: 7 out of 10
The final variety is Fudge Brownie Cookie Dough Bites. This one had a nice brownie batter consistency for the center with a good sugary grain to it. The cocoa flavors of the center went well with the chocolaty flavor of the coating. They rated a little higher for me than the regular Cookie Dough Bites, but I still think the Peanut Butter ones are the most successful of the array.
Rating: 6 out of 10
The only ones I've actually seen in stores are the original at places like Target, Dollar Tree, 99 Cent Only and Walgreen's, usually for about a buck a box. They're also sold at movie theater concession stands, probably for about $3 a box.
My other basic complaint with the candy is the packaging. I think the box itself is a bit misleading. First, in order to preserve the freshness, the bites are in a little clear plastic pouch. That's fine, although it makes it kind of silly to have the box itself, because it's not like you dispense from the box. The box is 3.5" wide, 6" long and .75" deep. The bag dimensions are technically the same, except that it's of course flat. It seems that the box could be flatter or maybe the bag be narrower but fuller to be more efficient. Each box has only 3 ounces in it. A similar sized Junior Mints box has 4.75 ounces. Dots have 6.5 ounces. (Granted, Cookie Dough Bites probably aren't as dense as Dots.)
Maybe I'm getting too snooty or expected too much after Brian at Candy Addict rates the Milk Chocolate Covered Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites as Awesomely Addictive (tm). But hey, everyone has slightly different tastes, which is why it's so great there are so many different review sites. Here's a roundup of other opinions: Taquitos.net has Fudge Brownie, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip and Review Busters.

The Simpsons Fruit Snacks
There's a movie coming out this week called The Simpsons Movie which is based on some long-running cartoon also called The Simpsons. (Yes, I know you know who The Simpsons are!) I live in Los Angeles and we're blessed with two live-action promotions for the movie ... they've turned two 7-11 stores into Kwik-E-Marts. It's kind of fun, you can go into the store and see dimensional cut outs of your favorite characters and partake of a few of their favorite fictional foods. This means Buzz Cola, Krusty-Os and those pink glazed & sprinkled donuts are actually available.
Sadly, there is no candy actually associate with the series, but I did pick up these Simpsons Fruit Snacks, which have been out for a few years. (If you want other candy content from The Simpsons, check out
Jamie's awesome list with videos!)
The Simpsons Fruit Snack is about as lame as a product you'd expect to find if you really lived in Springfield. The package is nice and happy and says things that are totally true like "mixed fruit flavor", "no preservatives" and "made with real fruit juice" and sports images of the Simpsons kids: Maggie, Lisa and Bart.
But once the package is open and not in view there is absolutely nothing "Simpsons" about these. They're shaped like little fruits ... not little characters.
So I decided that I just wasn't working hard enough at this ... that I wasn't taxing my imagination and decided that they ARE Springfield characters ... if you really work at it. (The illustrations below may require a bit of squinting to make it work.)
Orange: Apu (on those formal occasions when he wears his turban)
The promise of the package and the Simpsons tie in aside, the flavor of the candies is pleasant. They're a gummi (with gelatin), but extremely soft. I was happier once I let mine sit out for a couple of days. They do have a full days allowance of vitamin C and they do have fruit juice as the first ingredient (just as those Scooby and Hello Kitty snacks had real fruit juice). So for a friendly fruit gummi, they're a pretty good deal for $1.59. Not really flavorful, just, well, pleasant.
Other irritated opinions about the lack of relationship between the Simpsons and the fruit snacks: Taquitos.net, Amazon.com & VeganCore (may be a different version of the snacks that didn't have gelatin though).

Q1 2011 ended on Friday, as far as the daily quizzes are concerned. Which means it is time to prepare for the championship playoff for that quarter. And a congratulations to the hundreds of players who committed a substantial amount of time playing quizzes, learning about PL/SQL, SQL and APEX, and in many cases sharing their knowledge with others through our discussion.
As noted in an earlier post, we are going to change the process for playoff qualification starting with this quarter: some or all of the top-25 ranked players will be required to take special qualifier quizzes to validate their performance in the quarter.
Here's how the qualifier process will work:
1. If you ranked in the top 25 and are not selected to take the qualifier quizzes, then you are in the playoff, with no further action required. Even if you cannot or choose not to participate in the playoff, there is no impact on your rankings or competitive status.
2. If you are selected to play qualifier quizzes, you will receive an email (and a message on the PL/SQL Challenge site) notifying you of the quizzes you must take. They will also, of course, appear on your PL/SQL Challenge home page. You will have three days in which to play the quizzes. If you cannot take the quizzes in that period of time, submit feedback to this effect and we will re-scheduled the quizzes.
3. If you do not want to take the qualifier quizzes, then change your status to non-competitive (visit your Account page, Preferences, and check the box next to "Play for education purposes only?") and notify us of your decision through the Feedback page. If you take this action, any awards you won in the quarter will be reversed.
4. After taking the qualifier quizzes, you will be notified of the results. If you pass, then you have qualified for the playoff and no further action is needed.
If you fail the qualifier, your status will be set to non-competitive and any awards received in Q1 2011 will be reversed. You will remain in non-competitive status for the remainder of this next quarter.
If you previously had your scores adjusted by our "very fast answer" analysis, your account may also be terminated.
For each qualifier failure, rankings will be re-calculated, thereby adding more players to the playoff. Those added to the top 25 may then be asked to take qualifier quizzes (and so the cycle above begins again).
Clearly, this process will delay the date on which the playoff will occur. In addition, the website must be upgraded to 2.2, with its support for qualifiers. We plan to do this upgrade the weekend of 13 April. So during the week of 15 April we will invite some players to take the qualifier quizzes.

The most prominent one would be Spearhead from Space on Blu-ray. This is most likely going to be the only Blu-ray release from the classics. This is because it is the only story to be completely filmed on 16mm film and to fully exist.
This marks the second re-release of this story, and is set to include a Jon Pertwee biography called 'A Dandy and a Cown: The Life of Jon Pertwee, naturally in HD as well. Chris Chapman has also announced that this documentary will feature plenty of brand new footage of Jon Pertwee and is currently around 42 minutes long (around the same as a new series episode) making it the longest documentary made so far.
The following are also on the list for DVD releases:
- 7 Janurary: The Legacy Boxset
- Shada. This one is basically a restored of the VHS sets.
- 28 January: Reign of Terror
- 18 Feburary: Ark in Space SE
- 11 March: The Aztecs SE
- This includes the recently recovered episode Airlock
- 25 June: Terror of the Zygons

Benefits of Cycling
Cycling poses some very unique and distinct cardiovascular and overall core conditioning related benefits. It offers a much lower impact form of exercise on the lower extremities and lower back than say for example running.
For individuals that have a history of foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back related injury cycling offers a low impact solution for cardiovascular exercise. Cycling particularly in a group or for example in a charity ride environment offers an opportunity for socialization and interaction with individuals with similar interests as well.
The Benefits of Regular Exercise and Activity
By Toni Branner (Director of TheGoSite Board Of Specialists)
Site Manager for TheGoSite Wellness and Fitness Sites
Exercise Physiologist, Wellness Coach, Author, and Speaker
Hundreds of scientific and practical experiments have been carried out in an attempt to pinpoint the benefits of regular exercise. Some of the information is conflicting but overall the data suggests that being fit can have a positive impact on many aspects of your life. Most important is to act now. Just because you were active earlier in your life does not mean you are immune from the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. The evidence is too great. You can put off cleaning out your closet or weeding the flowers but you cannot afford to procrastinate with regard to fitness any longer. It is never too late to start.
The list below highlights some of the well researched benefits of exercise. Most of the benefits are related to aerobic exercise, strength training, and stretching, however, people who are generally active in daily living will experience some of the same results. Recent studies have demonstrated that moderate activity is almost as beneficial as strenuous, high-intensity exercise in preventing heart disease and increasing longevity. You don't have to run marathons to receive the benefits.
It is important to engage in activities which are fun and enjoyable. Modest amounts of physical activity, such as climbing stairs , mowing the grass, and walking the golf course (or your dog) will have a positive impact on health.
Physiological Benefits of Regular Aerobic Exercise
Decreased Risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) – CHD is caused by a lack of blood supply to the heart muscle, resulting from a degenerative disorder called atherosclerosis. Buildup of plaque and fat on the lining of arteries begins in early childhood. Active kids become active adults and physical activity reduces the risk of blockage. Regular exercisers add quality and years to their life. If a heart attack does occur, regular exercisers have less chance of a fatal or recurring event.
Reduced Hypertension – Hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure. It is especially prevalent among African-Americans. Aerobic and muscular exercise has been found to decrease elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Improved Blood Lipids and Lipoproteins – Exercise has been shown to effectively reduce triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol all of which are related to a higher incidence of coronary artery disease (blockage of arteries which can lead to chest pain and/or heart attack). HDL cholesterol, a beneficial type of cholesterol which helps clear the arteries, is usually increased. Therefore, regular aerobic exercise combined with a low-fat/high-fiber diet can reduce the buildup of the plaque which causes blockage in arteries.
Enhanced Cardiac Function – Exercise makes the cardiorespiratory system stronger and more efficient. Specific changes include:
- Lower resting heart rate (this means your heart has to beat fewer times per minute to supply your body with adequate oxygen and nutrients).
- Increased stroke volume(the amount of blood pumped by the heart with each beat is increased).
- Higher oxygen uptake (Since your heart can pump more blood per beat, your body's capacity to consume oxygen during exercise is enhanced. The greater volume of blood, and therefore oxygen, delivered to the muscle cells results in increased stamina).
- Increased metabolism of fat and carbohydrate (trained muscle cells are more efficient at utilizing fat due to increased blood flow and the greater activity of fat-metabolizing enzymes. The muscle cells can also store more glycogen which makes more carbohydrate available for use).
Enhanced Bone Health – Weight-bearing exercise such as recreational jogging, aerobic dancing, brisk walking, and cycling for the lower skeleton and weight training for the upper body can increase or maintain overall bone mass. Inactivity, on the other hand, contributes to calcium loss from the bones and osteoporosis. Regular weight-bearing activity begun at an early age combined with proper nutrition (alkaline diet) can have a positive effect on lifelong bone health.
Lower Smoking Risk – Exercisers are less likely to smoke than sedentary people. For those who do smoke, physical activity lowers the risk of coronary artery disease.
Healthier Weight and Body Fat – Since obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other health problems, reducing your risk could save your life. Lean body mass (muscle) is more metabolically active that fat which means you will burn more calories at rest.
Better Control of Blood Glucose – Diabetics can benefit from regular physical activity combined with a proper diet and appropriate medications.
Increased Muscular Strength and Flexibility – As we grow older strength and flexibility become a deciding factor in our ability to function in normal and necessary activities. Exercise has been shown to delay and possibly prevent some of the degenerative problems associated with aging. Muscular balance can prevent lower back injuries, knee problems, and joint problems.
Growth of New Neurons in the Brain – Studies show that after aerobic exercise your brain actually grows new neurons reducing your risk of dementia.
Other Possible Physical Benefits Shown Through Research
- Improves the function of your immune system.
- Improves posture.
- Helps relieve the pain of tension headaches.
- Helps you to incur fewer medical and health-care expenses.
- Reduces your risk for developing colon, breast, and prostate cancer.
- Improves your heat tolerance.
- Helps you sleep better.
- Helps to relieve or prevent constipation.
- Helps you adapt to cold environments.
- Reduces your risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Reduced risk of endometriosis.
- More energy to do the things you want to do!
Psychological Benefits of Regular Exercise
- Reduces depression
- Improves confidence and self-esteem
- Promotes a sense of well-being and positive mood
- Increased alertness and clearer thinking
- Improves ability to handle stress
- Decreased tension
- Improves attitude toward work and reduces miss workdays due to illness.
- Helps you to combat substance abuse
- Helps reduce pre-menstrual tension
- Improves overall quality of life

Lady Gaga Has Wardrobe Malfunction in Vancouver
Oops! Lady Gaga's latex costume split right on her rump as she kicked off the North American leg of the Born This Way Ball tour this weekend. At the first show in Vancouver, Gaga was performing some of her new choreography moves in an all-black latex ensemble, which tore along her butt.
She continued to perform with the tear and her derriere in full view.
This North American Leg of the Born This Way Ball has brand new costumes designed and supplied by Versace, so the Mother Monster wasn't showing off her backside for too long. She actually cycled through several costume changes, and yes, many of her outfits were constructed of tight, looks-like-it-was-painted-on leather and second skin latex. So it's not like she was flashing skin in a damaged costume for too too long.
This type of thing is bound to happen when you are wearing a tight outfit and doing all sorts of crazy dance moves.
We are left to wonder if this fashion accident will make it on an episode of 'Fashion Police' with her new nemeses in the Osbournes.
