A representative for Heidi Klum has hit back at the supermodel's estranged husband Seal after he criticized her rumored romance with her bodyguard.
The German beauty separated from Seal in January after almost seven years of marriage, and filed for divorce in April while the Brit lodged his own paperwork shortly after.
She was photographed getting close to Martin Kristen, her security guard for the last four years, during a family vacation in Italy last month and Seal apparently accused her of starting a relationship with her minder when he opened up about his personal life on Friday.
He told TMZ.com, "Look, boys, you know that's what happens when two people separate. They move on and that generally means other people in their lives. I certainly don't expect Heidi to all of a sudden become a nun. But as always my main priority is the emotional wellbeing of our children.
"To be quite honest, if there is going to be somebody else in their lives, I'd much rather it was a familiar face. I guess the only thing I would have preferred is that… Whilst I didn't expect any better from him, I would have thought Heidi would have shown a little bit more class… before deciding to fornicate with the help, as it were."
A spokesperson for the blonde beauty has since released a statement on Klum's behalf, telling Us Weekly, "It is sad that Seal has to resort to this kind of behavior and spread these untruths about the mother of his children."
The couple has four kids – Henry, Johan and Lou, as well as Seal's adopted daughter Leni from Klum's previous relationship.

New Car Review
2014 Audi RS 5: New Car Review
Automakers are putting on a brave face about tightening fuel economy regulations, but they know there's no substitute for a high-performance, naturally aspirated V8. That's why Ferrari continues to use this type of engine in its purest car, the 458 Italia.
It's also why the 2014 Audi RS 5 exists.
And no, mentioning the RS 5 and Ferrari's finest in the same breath is not a hyperbole.
Here's the back story. Audi already makes a dynamic coupe called the S5 that looks great, handles well and goes pretty darned fast. But the S5 no longer features Audi's excellent 4.2-liter V8, instead making do with a more fuel-efficient but less engaging 3.0-liter supercharged V6.
That's where the RS 5 comes in. It boasts a heavily modified version of the old V8 that tops out at a stratospheric 8,500 rpm. And if you treat that number as a "shift now" indicator, you'll be rewarded with a soundtrack that's genuinely worthy of an Italian badge. You'll also enjoy 450 purebred German horsepower versus the S5's 333 hp. Various suspension tweaks ensure that the RS 5's handling likewise eclipses that of its more sedate sibling.
Given that the RS 5 is aimed at the small subset of drivers who truly appreciate the V8's added value, we're surprised it's only offered with Audi's admittedly superb dual-clutch automatic transmission. If you care that much about engines, you may also prefer to handle the clutching duties yourself.
But hey, who are we kidding? This Audi is pure awesome. And with the BMW M3 having ditched its epic V8 in favor of a turbocharged inline 6-cylinder, the 2014 RS 5 may be the most appealing V8-powered performance car under $100,000.
What's New for 2014?
The RS 5 coupe is joined by a convertible version: the RS 5 Cabriolet.
What We Like
Scintillating V8 engine; beautiful to behold; sticks like glue in corners; classy interior; technology aplenty
What We Don't
No manual transmission; top-shelf MMI system with Audi connect costs extra
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The RS 5 is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 that makes 450 hp and 316 lb-ft of torque. The sole transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual.
Fuel economy actually isn't that bad for a high-revving V8. The coupe checks in at 16 miles per gallon city/23 mpg hwy, while the Cabriolet drops a smidge to 16 mpg city/22 mpg hwy.
Standard Features & Options
The 2014 Audi RS 5 is offered as either a coupe or convertible (Cabriolet).
The RS 5 coupe ($70,495) comes standard with 19-inch alloy wheels (20-inchers are optional), adaptive xenon headlights with LED accents, LED taillights, special "wide body" exterior panels, an automatic power rear spoiler, keyless entry/ignition, a panoramic sunroof, tri-zone automatic climate control, 12-way sport front seats with driver memory, carbon-fiber interior trim, Bluetooth and iPod integration, the Multi-Media Interface system (MMI) with a dash-mounted control knob and a 10-speaker audio system with an auxiliary input, an SD card reader and satellite radio.
The RS 5 Cabriolet ($78,495) features a power-operated soft-top that remains functional until the car exceeds 31 miles per hour. It also substitutes a fixed trunk-lid spoiler for the coupe's automatic spoiler.
Opting for MMI Navigation plus adds upgraded MMI software with navigation and a console-mounted joystick knob, Audi connect with online services, a rearview camera, SiriusXM Traffic with a 4-year subscription, a blind spot monitor and a 14-speaker, 505-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system with HD radio. Both coupe and Cabriolet are eligible for neck-level heating vents built into the seat backs. Additional packages contribute niceties such as adaptive cruise control and Black Optic exterior trim.
With regard to the back seat, we've said it before of the A5 and S5, and we'll say it again: Only pint-sized humans will be happy back there for more than a few minutes. Trunk space, though, is respectable, measuring 12.4 cu ft in the coupe and about 10 cu ft in the Cabriolet.
The 2014 Audi RS 5 comes with standard stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and eight airbags (front, front side, front knee, full-length side curtain). Heat-resistant ceramic front brakes are optional, and a blind spot warning system is also available.
Like the A5 and S5, the RS 5 has not been crash-tested in the U.S.
Behind the Wheel
The RS 5's interior is highlighted by extraordinarily high-quality materials and a low-slung, intimate driving position with a cool flat-bottomed steering wheel. The aggressively bolstered front seats buck Audi's tradition of skimping on lateral support, yet they remain exceptionally comfortable on longer treks. We wish they were standard in every Audi. The tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel has a wide range of adjustability, so most drivers should be able to find a comfortable configuration.
Ergonomics, however, are hit-or-miss in the RS 5, just like in the A5 and S5. For example, want to adjust the climate control's fan speed while driving? Good luck, because it's a 2-step process rather than the simple twist of a knob. Audi has made huge strides as of late with the MMI system's intuitiveness, at least if you get the superior MMI Navigation plus version. It's now possible to accomplish the most important tasks without consulting the owner's manual, and that's real progress.
Under the hood, the 4.2-liter V8 is one of autodom's true gems. At full throttle, with the tachometer needle sweeping effortlessly toward 8,500 rpm, this motor is about as close as you can get to nirvana without ponying up for a Prancing Horse. It's not just the speed that impresses; it's also the astounding lack of vibration through the controls, and the exquisitely refined noises from both engine and exhaust. As for the transmission, it may only have two pedals, but it's as good as any automated manual we've tried -- and that includes Porsche's PDK. Just rip off a few rev-matched downshifts with the standard paddle shifters and you'll be a believer, too.
On winding roads or racetracks, the RS 5 starts with the confident high-speed demeanor of its lesser siblings and cranks it to 11. There's a real sense of invincibility: Just plant your right foot mid-corner and let the magical V8 and quattro all-wheel-drive system sort out the rest. Notably, the RS 5's version of quattro comes standard with the sports rear differential (optional on S5), which virtually eliminates understeer by sending extra power to the outside rear wheel as required.
In normal driving, the RS 5's ride proves rather stiff. We think the fixed damper settings could stand to be relaxed. But you can still feel that characteristic German suppleness in the suspension, so impacts are rarely harsh. Moreover, the quiet cabin makes this Audi a stellar road-trip companion.
Other Cars to Consider
BMW M3 -- The discontinued V8-powered M3 is the RS 5's true nemesis, but there's also a new M3 with a turbocharged inline 6-cylinder for those so inclined. We recommend driving both before deciding.
Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG -- The C63 coupe lacks the RS 5's heroically controlled handling, but it'll do power slides all day if that's your thing. Plus, the 6.2-liter AMG V8 makes beautiful noises of its own.
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1-- We know it's a dark-horse candidate, but the ZL1's unique suspension gives it world-class handling, and there's something to be said for its supercharged 580 hp and look-at-me styling.
AutoTrader's Advice
We recommend the RS 5, period. If you have the means, you're not going to be disappointed.

American Medical Association (AMA)
The American Medical Association (AMA) is the largest medical professional association in America. It was founded in New York city in 1847 by Nathan Smith Davis, a young doctor who wanted a national body to raise medical education standards in the United States and improve the public's health. Medicine and the American medical marketplace were unregulated.
The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 ended the patent medicine market. The 1910 publication of the Flexner report then severely criticised medical school standards in the United States and Canada. Following these events the AMA became the most powerful medical organisation in the United States. It has since shaped medical education and national health policies in the USA. The AMA also works with the FDA to regulate prescription and over-the-counter medicines, and represents the medical profession at the highest federal level. It fought discrimination against AIDS patients in the 1980s, and campaigned against family violence, tobacco and underage drinking.
The AMA has opposed physicians being involved in deliberately ending lives. It strongly opposes doctors' involvement in both physician-assisted suicide and carrying out the death penalty.
The AMA has recently campaigned to provide medical care for uninsured patients. Critics accuse it of looking out for members' salaries and not enough for patients' interests. The AMA is also criticised for holding a monopoly over the representation of biomedical practitioners.

Auto Show: 2012 La Auto Show
2013 Lexus LS: LA Auto Show
- Lexus' flagship LS sedan is updated inside and out.
- Multiple versions including first ever F Sport version of LS.
- LF-CC hybrid coupe concept hints at the next IS.
Although Lexus didn't have any world-premiere debuts at the LA Auto Show, the luxury automaker featured 17 concepts and production models on its stand. The lineup includes everything from the recently updated 2013 Lexus LS to a pair of concept coupes, both with hybrid powertrains.
The latest LS is updated inside and out, and now includes the signature Lexus spindle grille design that's making its way across the automaker's model range. The LS 460 F Sport, the first LS model to get Lexus' performance treatment, includes aggressive styling outside and new 19-inch wheels.
It's not just good looks--the LS 460 F Sport gets enhanced performance parts, too. Bigger brakes, a Torsen limited-slip differential and a sportier air suspension with lower ride height help the LS F Sport live up to its name. Inside, the F Sport model gets paddle shifters, well-bolstered sport seats, a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and aluminum trim.
Aside from the F Sport, the 2013 Lexus LS is available in three versions: LS 460, LS 460L and LS 600hL hybrid. The new LS features updated technology and now includes Lexus Climate Concierge, which controls not only heating and air conditioning but also climate controlled seats and a heated steering wheel. Other improvements over the 2012 model include changes to the suspension, steering and brakes. Pricing for the new LS start at $71,990.
Lexus also showed the LF-LC concept and LF-CC concepts. We've seen both before. The LF-LC debuted earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and the LF-CC premiered more recently, at the Paris show. But both still managed to draw plenty of attention in LA. Both are fantastic looking hybrid coupes, but each has its own mission. The LF-LC is a large 2+2 focused on high performance. The LF-CC is smaller and less radical, perhaps hinting at the design direction for the next-generation Lexus IS.
What it means to you: The latest flagship sedan from Lexus is now available in sportier F Sport guise. Car shoppers can see it--along with a few Lexus concepts that point to the future of the luxury brand--at the LA Auto Show.
See more LA Auto Show news.
What do you think of the new Lexus LS? Would you buy the LF-LC or LF-CC if Lexus made them? Tell us in the comments.

Great addition to your camp kitchen!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Burners throw off a ton of heat or can just keep things warm as needed. When you roll into your car camp spot for the weekend, this two stove burner will amp your kitchen game up amongst your fellow campers.
Gets the Job Done!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bring a lighter because just like any stove, the click to ignight broke my first time out using it. Other than that it is super reliable and gets the job done every time.
Love this Stove
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is actually my first ever camping stove, before that I've always just gone full dirtbag and cooked food over the fire, but I could never go back after experiencing this stove. I'd heard that the ignition system could be faulty but I didn't have that experience. it lights up right away and is easy to use and clean 10/10 would recommend. .
Great Car Camping Stove
Reliable, and simple! allows me to cook for the big group we inevitably camp with!
Perfect for Car Camping
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Straight-forward, durable, and well-built. A must have for car camping, but it's still not overly heavy or cumbersome.
A Must-Have For Any Car Camper!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this to take on climbing trips as I was tired of living off of PB&J. Right out of the box this stove fired up and allowed us to make an awesome dinner on the road. I used both burners to cook food, while my JetBoil heated up water for some warm drinks by the fire.
This stove is very simple to set up and works like a champ!
Great stove!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Finally bucked up and bought a bigger stove for car camping. Absolutely love this thing!
Gets the job done
Used to use my backpacking stove but recently bought this because I'm doing more car camping. The stove has worked good. It's nice to have the extra cooking space and it's pretty low profile. Doesn't take up much space in the car. I bought a separate griddle attachment which is good for cooking breakfast stuff like eggs & pancakes.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I took it out of the box on a camping trip and mistakenly didn't test it before we left and took a half hour to get 1 burner working.
It's a solid stove.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Went to a chili cook off in Vegas, and the team I was with had two of them, I was then given one of them after the chili cook off. It's a cool stove top. It does everything I need it to. Two burners, works great, reliable, easy to clean, easy to assemble. Nothing too crazy about it. Does exactly what you need it to do.
Cooks food no problem
4 star seems to be the consensus here. This thing doesn't have any bells or whistles, but it works. Seems durable and dependable enough. Easy to use and clean. Pretty average on price. If you need a 2-burner stove you'll be set with this one.
2 burners are all I need!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Although small, this stove got the job done. This proved to be plenty of stove for four of us that went camping. This is an easy to clean stove and packs up nicely with a handle for carrying. Very lightweight and so far has proven to be a reliable 2 burner stove. Great for car camping.
cooks up some food to live
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
great two burner stove, i use this thing for all my car camping adventures. much easier than busting out my backpacking stove. control knobs work well with adjusting flame. easy to clean. from time to time the starter doesnt work but having a lighter on hand makes things easy as well.
Awesome 2 burner stove
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have had a little Snow Peak Litemax Ti stove for a little while, and for short trips, it's perfect. It fits in my pots, boils water fast, impresses city folk...
However a backpacking stove is not always the most practical. My girlfriend and I take lots of trips to go rock climbing, and if you want to do some serious eating, these Teton stoves are a perfect place to start.
One tank of gas lasts a fairly long time, not to mention its very cheap and easy to replace.
It burns evenly, and is very adjustable- it's just like cooking at home.
Unfortunately the only downfall to these stoves is the piezo ignition system. It doesn't really seem to work that well, but I always carry a lighter around for camping so it's no big deal.
Good enough
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is the only 2-burner stove I have used aside from the basic Coleman stoves and have to say that it is every bit as good, if not better. It's efficient, fairly lightweight, and simple to use. It offers everything that you really need from a basic 2-burner stove. I have no real complaints. The one "issue" that I encountered is the failure of the matchless ignition, but lighting the stove with a match or lighter is no problem....and if you cant light a stove with a lighter you probably shouldn't be out there in the wild. Good stove, great price.
Gets the job done
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have only used the stove once so far. This stove is a lower gas output but when it is turned up you will have no problem cooking anything you will need. Boiling a large pot of water just might take a little while. I was having troubles with the self start button it took a while to get it started up but eventually I got it going. This is a nice stove for the price and would recommend for anyone who goes camping a few times a summer
Content with camp stove
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
First I'd like to compliment on the efficiency of this stove. I just got back from a 10 day camping trip in Banff where we used this stove as our primary source to cook food (which means we used it just about twice a day for breakfast and dinner). The food cooked fast and we didn't even burn through a whole bottle of propane! It packs up nice and cleans easily as well. Overall, we were very satisfied on how well it functioned.
Now to the complaints. This is actually the second one that I've purchased as the first one, the right burner didn't light up with the matchless ignition. We would turn the gas on, then push the button to light it and you could see where the ignitor was sparking but the burner wouldn't light. The left burner worked great, but the right just didn't want to join in. So we sent it back and got another one that has the same issue. Because we didn't have time to wait for another one, we took the defective one on our trip to Banff and just lit the right burner with a match. Because the stove performed so well, we decided that lighting the burner with a match wasn't that big of a deal.
My second complaint is that the knobs that you use to control the heat of the burner are fastened on crooked. It seems as though when they were attached, the rods that extend inside the stove were bent and so when you twist the nobs they wobble like the wheels on an old matchbox car!
Other than these two things, the stove works great!
Fajita Night
Muy Caliente!
Why so much hate?
Survived on this for 4 days camping being it was a NO BURN area. Absolutely loved it from the quality to how easy it worked. Ignition worked the first time every time. Burners were easily adjustable and cooked fast when needed too and slow when aloud. Would recommend this product to anyone. Would even recommend this over Coleman. Try it out you won't be disappointed!!!
Laughably bad build quality...
I don't know why it took me so long to stop using my backpacking stove for car camping but I'm glad I finally made the switch to a 2 burner. I was looking at primarily the newer Colemans and the other comparable offerings from Primus, Camp Chef, etc. I don't care too much for max BTU's as my pocket rocket is apparently 10-11k btu's and I pretty much just burn everything. I was looking for good temperature control, good quality, and a built in starter. I checked out the newer redesigned coleman with instastart and didn't really like the overall plastic build and ended up going with this because BC had it for cheaper and it appeared to be built better for example the coleman uses plastic now to latch it shut, and the Camp Chef Teton is built out of stainless steel.
I really liked the square thin design as the newer coleman's are pretty much the same dimensions (a little thicker) but I just don't like the overall shape. When I first got the stove I was impressed and pretty happy with it right out of the box. But as I took a closer look I just wanted to send it back nothing lines up, poor construction, poor design, bad rivet jobs, scratches. The worst part is how the wind shields are hinged with two screws on each hinge when I picked up the stove there was something rolling around inside of the stove and it was one of these screws that I had to fish out and screw it back into place. There are dents (one corner was pushed in) and it's not like it got damaged in transit... This was a new unit and the stove arrived double boxed with no damage to the boxes. I can understand a dent from UPS, but the fact that Camp Chef decided that this is ok this type of product is something they can ship to their customers for their money is completely unacceptable. Shame on you Camp Chef. Now don't get me wrong most of these stoves in this category are not known for their build quality but this is terrible.
I'm honestly surprised it didn't blow up in my face. It took me about a day of hunger for a hot meal to force me to use it (I picked it up from the post office on my way out for a trip) and well I'm still alive. The good news is Camp Chef put all the money into the burners, connectors and just skimped on the shell. They don't go as low as I want them to and one burner can't go as low as the other but according to other reviews this has the best temperature control out of all the other stoves. It cleans real well because the grill pops off easily and the top of the stove is pretty much flat so you can just take a sponge or towel and wipe it off easily. The starter works although sometimes it may take 2-3 pushes... and it's an annoying loud click but overall it does work just fine. It cooks fine, works well, but the build quality is the main drawback. I give it 6 months of normal use before the wind screens pop off or something breaks off of it.
What are the dimensions of the stove with the propane tank? Does the propane tank need to sit on a surface or can it free hang?

What You'll Get
Even the best photos need a little touching up to remove red eyes, make the colors pop, and crop out the asteroid that ruined your family vacation. Fix it in editing with this Groupon.

- $39 for an Adobe Photoshop CS5 and CS6 training course (a $460 value)

The beginning course lasts 5 hours and the advanced course lasts 6.5 hours.
During the 25-hour Adobe Photoshop CS5 and CS6 training course, students follow along online with Amadou Diallo, a professional photographer, author, image editor, and teacher.

I live in Streatham, south London, near Brixton, famous for riots in the 1980s, but also on the edge of Clapham in an area affectionately nicknamed 'Nappy Valley' by the locals. Nappies and pushchairs there are aplenty. Violent disorder, not so much.
Yet that all changed in August last year, as the London riots spread to not only Brixton, but also 'Nappy Valley', Croydon... well the list quickly became endless and like many around the capital I was gripped by the rolling news footage of fires and lootings in neighbourhoods familiar to us.
As the commentary developed it became clear that the reporting was either black or white. Right wing commentators were quick to label all rioters as individual criminals, while more liberal factions tried to convince that there was a direct cause and effect relationship between recent youth centre closures and civil disorder.
I started looking for bystander footage on YouTube and came across a voiceover with two girls from Croydon. Young and energised, they weren't talking about angry protests. They were talking about drinking "rose wine at half nine in the morning" and the previous night being "good fun," before saying it's about "showing the police we can do what we want." They argued that even local people with small businesses were rich and that it was the rich people's fault. Suddenly a minute's worth of Youtube footage of a casual conversation between two teenage girls told me more about why the riots were happening than any news bulletin did.
The idea started to emerge that a more un-mediated version of events would help form a fuller picture of what happened last August. Together with Minnow Productions and BBC 3, we combed the internet for more footage. We expected to find films captured by those who revelled in the "spectacle" of the riots. Riot voyeurs if you like. There were plenty of those but what we also found was a surprisingly wide range of people with different takes on what happened away from the usual debates of crime and punishment.
We found the 'Hackney Heroine', Pauline Pearce, instantly famous for telling the rioters off, Chudd, a middle class university educated bystander fascinated by the people joining in, a young Pakistani couple, incredulous at people rioting for trainers and Luke, a teen from Croydon who saw a schoolmate steal a guitar but didn't join in because he wants to become a police officer. We didn't use a voiceover, so that everyone who was interviewed could tell their story plainly, straight to the camera, watching the footage they themselves created, directing the story we can now tell. Like the rosé drinking girls from Croydon we wanted raw, unfiltered voices.
What emerged was a more complex and human picture than the one presented on TV at the time. What began as a politically motivated protest in reaction to the shooting of Mark Duggan quickly turned into a free-for-all, where established rules of consumerism that guide our society were allowed to be broken.
Chudd, who filmed the first day in north London's Tottenham saw what he thought was a perfect example of how we live today as he witnessed one man dragging a huge flat-screen television out of a hardware shop. The man saw another leave with a bigger TV, so dumped his, and went back in for a bigger one. Karl in Brixton commented that it was "the day you could get the trainers you couldn't afford to." Aymen, from Hackney, describes how kids were stealing J20s, bottles of orange juice, as if they were diamonds, while Simon, from Croydon, who experienced his own moral sense of aversion to the looting as he filmed himself walking the streets described a party atmosphere, with people stealing alcohol to keep the party going.
Chudd, by this stage touring the riots, heard gang members in East London's Hackney chanting "no postcode beef, it's all against the police" and an anonymous interviewee said he took part to "give the police a boshing."
Sumaan and Sarrah, a young Pakistani couple who arrived in Barking shortly before the riots and filmed their footage on the same camera that captured their wedding only a few days later, were incredulous at what they saw. "In Pakistan, people took to the streets when one of our leaders was assassinated, in our country we riot for food, not trainers."
Yet for all the talk of greed and consumerism, the widespread looting carries an underlying logic. One of the girls talking about the riots in Clapham, on the street that is the main artery of 'Nappy Valley', expressed the motivation of "getting our taxes back from the rich." As misguided as that may seem, the perception of needing to get something back from the well off is very real.
The desire to show the police and "the rich" that "we can do what we want" stems from the genuine belief that the police and those with influence, including politicians who fiddled their expenses, can indeed do what they like. While the teens may not be paying taxes themselves, they do feel cheated. They do not feel like they have a stake in a society run by those who get to call the shots. They have been educated in the language of consumerism - what to buy, what to desire, how to use items marketed to them. It was the language of consumerism they chose to express their dissatisfaction.
One of the interviews that stuck with me was with Maciej, from Croydon. A recent immigrant from Poland, he was able to offer an outside perspective. He suggested that people "did not like the way they were being managed." And managed they are, even through the media, presenting the riots within existing political, social and legal debates. By offering some of the people who took part to comment on their own footage and give their own views in a more unmediated way, I hope we offered a chance, however small, for them to manage themselves.
John Dower is the director of 'RIOT' - part of 'Our Crime' series on BBC 3 at 9pm on Monday 9 April.

Save the Whale, Save the Southern Ocean
It provides the feeding grounds needed to sustain most southern hemisphere great whales – which coastal communities from Australia to Latin America to Africa are reliant upon for livelihoods and income derived from whale watching tourism.
After rampant commercial whaling in the twentieth century brought most great whale species in the Southern Ocean close to extinction, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) established the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary in 1994, recognising the critical importance of protecting whales in this special place.
Since the inception of the sanctuary, threats to whales in the Southern Ocean have broadened to include climate change, ship strikes, the potential of over-fishing and acoustic and chemical pollution. If whales in the southern hemisphere are to fully recover, the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary must be fully respected by all contracting governments to the IWC.
WWF therefore urges all contracting governments to the IWC to reject any proposal that would set catch limits for whaling in the Southern Ocean.

No mere words could ever express how much his life and in turn our family life has changed for the better in those years.

If a resource group is configured to execute in a dedicated processor set, Sun Cluster software performs the following tasks when it starts a resource of the resource group in a global-cluster non-voting node:
Creates a pool named SCSLM_pool_zone_name, if this has not already been done.
Creates a dedicated processor set. The size of the processor set is determined by using the RG_SLM_CPU_SHARES and RG_SLM_PSET_MIN properties.
Associates the SCSLM_pool_zone_name pool to the created processor set.
Dynamically binds the non-voting node to the SCSLM_pool_zone_name pool.
Augments the number of CPU shares assigned to the non-voting node with the specified number of CPU shares, if this has not already been done.
Creates a project named SCSLM_resourcegroup_name in the non-voting node, if this has not already been done. This project is specific to the resource group, and is assigned the specified number of CPU shares (project.cpu-shares).
Starts the resource in the SCSLM_resourcegroup_name project.
Set the scheduler for the system to be fair share scheduler (FSS).
# dispadmin -d FSS
FSS becomes the default scheduler on next reboot. To make this configuration take effect immediately, use the priocntl command.
# priocntl -s -C FSS
Using the combination of the priocntl and dispadmin commands ensures that FSS becomes the default schedule immediately and remains so after reboot. For more information about setting a scheduling class, see the dispadmin(1M) and priocntl(1) man pages.
If the FSS is not the default scheduler, your CPU shares assignment will not take effect.
On each node to use CPU control, configure the number of shares for the global-cluster voting node and the minimum number of CPUs available in the default processor set.
Setting these parameters helps protect processes running in the voting node from competing for CPUs with processes running in non-voting nodes. If you do not assign a value to the globalzoneshares and defaultpsetmin properties, these properties take their default values.
# clnode set [-p globalzoneshares=integer] \ [-p defaultpsetmin=integer] \ node
Sets the minimum number of CPUs available in the default processor set. The default is 1.
Sets the number of shares assigned to the voting node. The default is 1.
Identifies nodes on which properties are to be set.
In setting these properties, you are setting properties for the voting node.
Verify that you correctly set these properties:
# clnode show node
For the node you specify, the clnode command prints the properties set and the values that are set for these properties. If you do not set the CPU control properties with clnode, they take the default value.
Configure the CPU control facility.
# clresourcegroup create -p RG_SLM_TYPE=automated \ [-p RG_SLM_CPU_SHARES=value] \ -p -y RG_SLM_PSET_TYPE=value \ [-p RG_SLM_PSET_MIN=value] resource_group_name
Enables you to control CPU control usage and automates some steps to configure the Solaris OS for system resource management.
Specifies the number of CPU shares assigned to the resource group-specific project (project.cpu-shares) and determines the number of CPU shares assigned to the non-voting node (zone.cpu-shares) and the maximum number of processors in a processor set.
Enables the creation of a dedicated processor set. To have a dedicated processor set, you can set this property to strong or weak. The values strong and weak are mutually exclusive. That is, you cannot configure resource groups in the same zone so that some are strong and others weak.
Determines the minimum number of processors in the processor set.
Specifies the name of the resource group.
This step creates a resource group. You can alternatively use the clresourcegroup set command to modify an existing resource group.
You cannot set RG_SLM_TYPE to automated in a non-voting node if a pool other than the default pool is in the zone configuration or if the zone is dynamically bound to a pool other than the default pool. See the zonecfg(1M) and poolbind(1M) man pages for information about zone configuration and pool binding respectively. View your zone configuration as follows:
# zonecfg -z zone_name info pool
A resource such as an HAStoragePlus or a LogicalHostname resource configured to start in a non-voting node but with the GLOBAL_ZONE property set to TRUE is started in the voting node. Even if you set the RG_SLM_TYPE property to automated, this resource does not benefit from the CPU shares and dedicated processor set configuration and is treated as in a resource group with RG_SLM_TYPE set to manual.
Activate the configuration change.
Specifies the name of the resource group.
Do not remove or modify the SCSLM_resource_group_name project. You can add more resource control manually to the project, for example by configuring the project.max-lwps property. For more information, see the projmod(1M) man page.
Changes made to RG_SLM_CPU_SHARES and RG_SLM_PSET_MIN while the resource group is online are taken into account dynamically. However, if RG_SLM_PSET_TYPE is set to strong, and if not enough CPUs are available to accommodate the change, the change requested for RG_SLM_PSET_MIN is not applied. In this case, a warning message is displayed. On next switchover, errors because insufficient CPUs can occur if not enough CPUs are available to acknowledge the values that you configured for RG_SLM_PSET_MIN.
If an online resource group is no longer configured for CPU control in the non-voting node, the CPU share value for the non-voting node takes the value of zone.cpu-shares. This parameter has a value of 1 by default.

This weekend brought the end of soccer season (only one more tournament to go!),
family time in the yard + a lovely Mother's Day.
Audrey + Oliver wearing their Saturday clothes, preparing to follow Ryan around while he mowed the lawn.
My patch of Lily of the Valley is beginning to bloom.
Abby's new obsession: tether ball!
Ryan made whole wheat waffles + smoothies for my Mother's Day breakfast.
Currently, this is the view from our front window. So colorful.
Other highlights: Yesterday after church while Ryan was at meetings and the babies and I were napping, the big kids folded three loads of laundry as a Mother's Day surprise. I was so happy (and thankful!) I nearly cried. I'm lucky to be their mother.

So, I have a few really good friends, but I've known them since high school. I've noticed that meeting people as an adult is really difficult and I wonder if a lot of other people struggle with this too or am I just doing it wrong I've thought about it a lot and I guess since, as an adult, pretty much all you do is go to work, it's pretty hard to meet people you can make a real connection with.
How do you guys meet people? Or do you struggle like I do?
These days I have found my social group consists of the five people in my DnD group, non of whom I've known much longer than the groups founding.
And I hardly know these people on a personal level, only as the group and any general chit chat that emerges, usualy about games or anime or stuff.
So yeah, I struggle to make freinds. I just don't like going out doing what most people do to socialise. (I don't drink and I dislike noise.)
The above post may contain an opinion. Do not consume if alergic.
I found it hard enough as a child.
I only imagine it gets harder as an adult when you have less time for socialising and hobbies, and most people would have settled with friends from before and reluctant to make anymore. Then you have your friends emigrating and whatever else.
Then when you hit old age, your friends start dying off..
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
I struggle as well.
As we grow up, the commonalities we have with strangers (similar preferences in TV shows, video games, food, toys, etc.) no longer seem to be enough to motivate us to get to know them. It seems that we value more the familiarity of those we already have bonds with, despite their apparent differences from us.
I think that having even just a few good friends you've known for a long time is a very good thing. They're like family. You can rely on them when it comes to difficult and personal things.
For me, making friends as an adult takes more time than I've ever needed in the past. The days pass by, you've talked about many things, hung out at a myriad of places but still you feel as if you don't really know them, let alone trust them in the same way you trust your old friends.
My only suggestion would be to just give it time.
Free your mind!
Hmm, in a way yeah, cuz i used to smoke weed a shitton, then i quit and i had already more or less discarded all my old friends, then when i quit weed i stopped talking to all the other people ^^
Then i tried to go out and make new friends, how'd that go? Well lets just say i completely lost faith in humanity LOL
It wasn't really hard, the hard part was truely liking them, idk if they liked me or what not, but i guess not since i didnt really like them ^^'
fish go m00
The amount of friends you have varies over your life. In the town that I grew up in there were hundreds of kids that all grew up together, and knew each other. I talk to maybe three people from my town still. As a young adult I have maybe five goods friends. As hard as it is for most people to realize, at some point most of your old friends will start holding you back. And most of them won't like when you choose progress and success over maintaining those relationships. Those friends are usually not worth keeping if they can't be motivated to make progress in theri own lives by seeing others be successful around them.
The only advice I have for meeting new people would be to be polite. People aren't going to initiate conversations with people that act aggressively.
I don't think it gets harder to make friends when you are older. It's that you as an individual need more substance from the interpersonal relationships you develop than others. That's why you have a small group of close friends instead of a large group of acquaintances.
Your friends start "dying off" long before you hit old age. I recently started repairing a friendship with someone I haven't talked with in years. The reason we got together to talk about things was because we had lost an important person in our lives the week before. My point is that you can never know what situations will bring people in and out of your life. It's up to you to make the decision to initiate some form of contact with another person. When you make the decision to do so you'll find that most people will eagerly respond to you.
On a lighter note, I'll be your friend if you really need one.
I challenge you!
yes i find it really hard to make friends. I tend to move around a lot so that doesnt help the situation much. Also, I'm horrible with making conversation and with keeping a conversation going v.v annnnnnd so on...
But i'm always up for making some friends either online or in real life
I'm always Lurking to the best of my silent abilities.
It's pretty much the same in my boat, 'cept I've not had friends since college. they all seemed to drift away and I find it increasingly hard to become interested in the 'popular' culture. Its extremely rare to find RL peeps with the same or similar interest as myself. But I've become so used to being on my own now I've pretty much given up the ghost. If the chance to make a friend turns up I never turn it down. And as stated above politeness is always a priority.
Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try
I think everyone sort of have this kind of problem. Once you leave high school you do not have as many chances to meet someone with the same interests and you get to see them everyday of your life. As an adult it takes alot more effort to meet people and then to keep the relationship going.
Being an adult is tough!
It was a lot more difficult when I was a child. Since I'm a little more sociable, communicating and making 'friends' is not as bad as it was when I was younger.
Yes, I don't really keep in contact with the few people I knew in high school. I also rarely set out to find friends...I usually come across boyfriends and that's an entirely different story. From personal experience, people rare want to be your 'friend' though. They usually want something more. Most girls I come across don't like me, so having girls as friends is usually out of the question.
Needs to stop watching anime on crunchy roll and take my jog.
yes, it's extremely hard, especially here in America. People in class rooms don't socialize like they used to, and with the crime that happens in this world I can't say I really blame them. It kinda sucks though, it's like considered creepy if you randomly message someone on facebook or walk up to someone irl just to talk. I really don't understand that.
I find it a lot easier to make friends as an adult.
In school there is a sort of forced socializing. In the real world, no one makes you sit next to the new kid or tells you where to eat lunch, so you actually have to say hello. No teacher will make you go around the room and introduce yourself at the bar. There are also no social cliques that you HAVE to spend time with.
A reasonable and well mannered adult will introduce himself when encountering others. It is good manners. This can open a lot of doors.
There are bars, nightclubs, coffee shops, clubs, sports, leagues, museums, all sorts of things that a person can visit as an adult that they could not as children. Places that you have an interest in will likely draw like-minded people, which is very different from childhood where school puts you in a room full of kids from all over town. In that way, it is a lot easier to make conversation and connect with people because you are more likely to have common interests. There is also a lot less anxiety because there are no expectations -- you never have to see that person again if you dislike eachother. As a kid, you're stuck going where you're told.
You don't have to ask permission as an adult. There is no, "can I spend the night?" or "can I go out with so-and-so Saturday?" It is a lot easier to keep in touch with people when you have the power to call, write, or come and go as you please.
Plus as an adult you gain different priorities. You grow a thicker skin. When you have to pay the bills you don't worry so much about whether so-and-so from accounting likes you; it doesn't matter anymore so long as it doesn't hurt your paycheck. You don't like me? So what? That translates to more confidence and more open interactions with others.
Here is a tip: I used to think it was horribly unfair that life was more about who you knew rather than what you knew. Then I discovered that socializing was a technical skill just like being able to read. It is a necessary, everyday skill. You can be the most brilliant scientist in the world and it won't matter if you can't tell people about your discoveries. You can be the worlds greatest architect but if you can't strike a deal with a contractor you'll never build a thing. Practice socializing often! As an adult, you have far more to offer and far less to lose.
Nope I prefer to have adult friends anyway the conversations are more interesting, and the humor isn't always PG too.

As a child growing up with a pair of golfing parents, Deena Thatcher never actually pictured herself playing in the Women's Lincoln Highway Tournament with her mom, Patti Simester.
But for the past 17 years, they have both represented Rock River in the oldest women's golf tournament of its kind in the country. They will both tee it up again this weekend – Patti for the 42nd time, Deena for the 18th – at the 91st installment of the venerable event.
"We play golf together all the time," Thatcher said, "and she's not just my mom, she's my best friend. That makes it so special for both of us."
"I used to beat her," Simester joked, "but that's in the past. It's even better because she didn't even like golf growing up, and now we get to play together 2 or 3 times a week. It means a lot to me, and to her."
Simester, who golfs every day of the week, first picked up the game when she married her husband, Bill. The two were married in November 1966. The following spring, Bill bought his new bride clubs, balls, shoes and a bag. She's been playing ever since.
Bill has been into golf nearly his entire life; the basement of their house just down the road from Rock River is a shrine to his love and passion for the game. He started caddying at Rock River when he was 10, then played on the high school golf team. Patti, who was born in Rock Falls and grew up in Polo, never had the chance to play competitively in the age before Title IX.
Surprisingly, Deena and her brother, Don, weren't interested in their parents' favorite pastime growing up. Instead, the two spent summers playing baseball and softball, and swimming at the Rock River pool.
"Bill and I would trade off," Simester recalled. "Bill would go golfing while I watched the kids, then he'd get done and watch the kids while I golfed. When they got old enough, we'd just leave them at the pool and go golfing together."
"We grew up at that pool," Thatcher chimed in. "We both got certified to be lifeguards, and I also gave swim lessons when I was in high school."
A teacher like both her parents, Thatcher took up the game at 25 because she was looking for something to do during her summers off.
"I didn't know what to do, so I figured I might as well try golf," she said. "Luckily, Don and I had good genes; we're pretty athletic, and we both pick up on things pretty quickly. It was fun, and I was hooked."
The two will get to navigate their home course in this year's LHT, the first time the club has hosted since 2004. Coincidentally, it's also the club's 100th anniversary this summer, so the historic tournament will be a special commemoration of Rock River's historic season.
Both women were quick to mention the hard work club members Sandi Ivey, Cory Lawrence and Annette Lawrence, and Rock River employee Katelynn Prescott have put into making preparations for the LHT.
"I think the course is in the best shape it's ever been in," Simester said, "and those ladies have done a wonderful job putting this thing together."
While neither buy too much into the home-course advantage, Simester and Thatcher both say it's been easier to get ready for this year's tournament because of their familiarity with the surroundings.
"Usually when we play practice rounds for this at other courses, I'll take a lot of notes," Thatcher said. "I just realized the other day that I haven't written anything down this year. We just know the course, all the rolls and strategy involved in playing it."
"But just because we know it," she added with a laugh, "that doesn't mean it's going to show up in our play."
While both women have a bit of a competitive streak, it rarely rears its head when they're playing the LHT. Simester has only ever golfed for fun, and is just as happy when her competitors do well as when she does.
The de facto tournament historian is also pleased to see the new generation taking the reins. She's played rounds this summer with Sterling's Ember Schuldt and Megan Vandersee – "It just fun to watch them hit the ball a mile," she said with a smile – and looks forward to a bright future to the tournament she's spent her life playing.
Like her mom, Thatcher looks forward to the LHT every year for reasons other than the chance to win a golf tournament.
"For me, I get excited to play every year, just to see the ladies from the other teams," Thatcher said. "It's more of a social thing, and golf is just a little part of it. I think that's what this tournament means to all of us, and that's why we all love it so much … and why it's been going for as long as it has."

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that sadly, we're no longer going to be covering the show. Basically, nobody really seems to read it and since it's not a soap, we decided to let it go.
We'll miss recapping it for you but luckily we can still watch the show!
I want to thank Matt Purvis and Shannon Burrell for their dedication to Betty when we had her.
I will post about this in the 'Latest News' on Soaps.com's home page with more detail.
%( Catch you all in the lounge or on the soap opera message boards!
Thanks everyone,

Designer Maclaren Strollers
Trendtotting: Maclarens Get Fancy
Almost anything can be upgraded for a price. Born in 1965, Maclaren is one of the oldest and respected brands in the stroller land. Celebs like Michelle Williams, Dave Grohl, and Melania Trump all chose the British-based buggies to tote their loved ones. While some opt for the less-expensive versions available at Toys 'R' Us, others pay a pretty penny for labeled versions.
Melania Trump pushes Baron in a pimped-out leather Maclaren ($3,800) and Geri Halliwell gives Bluebell a ride in the posh "Life Is a Bed of Roses," especially created by fashion designer Lulu Guinness. Lacoste, Burberry, Kate Spade, and others have also added their name to the list of specialty makers. When people are easily spending $900 on competitive brands like Bugaboo and Orbit Baby, the $300 Kate Spade buggy starts to look doable.

Car Review
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 BlueTEC: Overview
Pros: New diesel improves GLK fuel economy; GLK250 features face-lifted 2013 GLK design, updated interior; highly practical without losing much acceleration
Cons: Still expensive, especially considering standard equipment; not everyone loves the GLK's styling; some interior materials aren't up to $40,000 sticker price
What's new: The 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 BlueTEC joins the GLK-Class lineup for the new model year. It uses a 2.1-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder engine.
The GLK250 BlueTEC is the new turbodiesel variant of Mercedes' compact GLK-Class luxury SUV. On sale since 2010, the GLK initially offered only one engine: a 3.5-liter V6, which boasts 302 horsepower for the new model year. With the GLK250, Mercedes looks to boost fuel economy without heavily sacrificing acceleration.
Under the GLK250 BlueTEC's hood is a 190-hp 2.1-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder engine. While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hasn't announced fuel economy ratings, we're expecting gas mileage in the low 20s on city streets and in the high 20s on the highway. That would be better than the GLK350, which is rated at 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. As with the GLK350, the GLK250's only available transmission is a 7-speed automatic. Unlike the GLK350, the GLK250 will only come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel drive.
Pricing has not yet been announced for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 BlueTEC. But we expect the diesel GLK to start around $40,000, which is around $1,000 less than the GLK350 4Matic. Similar acceleration to the GLK350 is also expected thanks to the GLK250's impressive 369 lb-ft of torque.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Lampreys are anadromous or fresh water, eel-shaped jawless fishes. They can be readily recognized by the large, rounded sucker which surrounds their mouth and by their single "nostril" on the top of their head. The skin of lampreys is entirely naked ans slimy, and their seven gill openings extend behind the eyes. Whether marine or fresh water, lampreys always spaw and lay eggs in brooks and rivers. During most of their life (about seven years), they are larval; then they undergo a metamorphose and become an adult. Anadromous lampreys, when adult, return to the sea, where they become mature, and live there for one or two years. Then they return to rivers, reproduce and generally die. Many lampreys are parasites. They attach on other fishes by means of their sucker, scrape their skin with their rasping tongue, and suck their blood. All lampreys, however can also feed on small invertebrates. The sucker is also for them a means to travel upstreams in rivers. They use it to attach on stones to rest (Petromyzon, the name of the European lamprey, means "stone sucker") or on more powerful fishes which trail them. Although lampreys are sometimes regarded as a delicacy and fished in Europe, the main cause of their disappearance is water pollution, to which they (in particular larvae) are particularly sensitive.
Recent lampreys, or Petromyzontiformes, include ten genera: Ichthyomyzon, Petromyzon, Caspiomyzon, Geotria, Mordacia, Eudontomyzon, Tetrapleurodon, Entosphenus, Lethenteron, and Lampetra. Lampreys have an amphitropical distribution and are restricted to relatively cold waters. Geotria and Mordacia are the only lampreys of the southern hemisphere, all other genera live in the northern hemisphere.

JOLIET, Ill. � Matt Kenseth restored order to a chaotic week for NASCAR with a steely victory over teammate Kyle Busch in the opening race for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
Kenseth went into Sunday's race at Chicagoland Speedway as the top seed in the field. But he flew completely under the radar while last week's attempts by at least three teams to manipulate the results at Richmond took center stage of the opening race of the Chase.
He had to wait out two rain delays that totaled six hours, 30 minutes and passed Busch on a restart with 27 laps remaining.
Busch finished second for a 1-2 finish for Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota.
Kevin Harvick was third as Chase drivers grabbed the top six spots.
