True, our health is our wealth that can never be taken away from us by anyone. After everything has been stolen away from us, it is the one thing that will never be taken, unless we really take care of ourselves and maintain our good health. We do not want to spend the rest of lives lying in bed, sick. Rather we wanted to spend our days enjoying every minute, getting the best out of life. Because of this reason, when we are sick, want to lose weight and the like, or just a part of one's health routine, we resolve to a lot of things and ways. We exercise, we cut the amount of food we intake, we are conscious to the amount of calories our body takes, and we even resolves to taking different kinds of supplements to cure diseases, to loss unwanted fats, and so on.
These ways can be pretty good and effective, one can say. However, there can also be downsides to it, especially to the latter, taking supplements. Sure supplements can be pretty effective, for one on losing weights when it is partnered up with the right diet, lifestyle, and plenty of exercise. However, when it comes to buying natural supplements, one must always be cautious.
Know the facts
Just because the packaging of the product says it is effective for losing weight or it is effective for curing diabetes and high blood, for that matter, does not mean that it is really effective. You must always know the facts about these things. Look at the scientific findings and even the information about your sickness or any condition you are in for that matter or you can also call the manufacturer first. There are plenty of ways to know how these days. There are plenty of sources of information nowadays. There are the internet, the books, the media, and so on. Also, know your condition first. Avoid taking in supplements especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescriptions or any medications, having a surgery, and or so on. Always know the facts first before buying and taking in supplements. Just because it says it is natural does not mean it can do no harm.
Always be wary of new products
Tendency is we get too excited when new products that can definitely solve our problem enter the market. Sometimes, because someone told us it is effective, we try it too, even if we do not even know personally the person who told us. It is hard to choose what to buy these days especially if our health is at stake. Be careful when it comes to new products, some may not even have enough researches or studies to back up what it says can do.
Ask the experts
When it comes to medical products, vitamins and natural supplements for that matter, it is important to ask your doctor or any medical experts first. Some of these natural supplements may have side effects that can be pretty serious.

He's a national body building champion and a veteran marine who is now pursuing a new dream.
There's one thing in particular that makes his accomplishment that much sweeter; he's doing it all with one leg.
Matt Driza would be the typical guy you see at World Gym in Montgomery, but he's a disabled Marine Corp veteran who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident in 2010 and medically retired after nine years of service.
After 13 surgeries and a prosthetic leg, He's a champion body builder.
"I decided to get back in the gym and I wanted to do competition after that," Driza said. "I don't know how it started. The seed kind of set itself and went from there."
Last week at the NPC Texas Independence Day Classic, he was named the first men's bodybuilding adaptive division champ.
Matt has a rigorous daily routine that includes dragging a 50 pound chain for resistance.
"Three weeks of just having the leg, I was squatting again," Driza said. "I've had no problem so far, and I can still do the same weight I did with two legs. I rep 405 pounds every week."
So what's your excuse? Driza says he hopes to inspire and be a reminder that nothing is impossible.
"Yeah, I could have been super handicapped and lazy about it," Driza said. "I could have withered away and not stayed in shape but what motivates me and keeps me going is just one foot in front of the other, you know, everyday just be better than the day before."
You can follow Matt with his journey on his Facebook.

Looks great and does the job I wore this rashguard snorkeling and it gives great coverage and is easy to get on and off. It is close-fitting, as a rashguard should be. It did not ride up while swimming. And it is cute! July 27, 2014
like the arm/back coverage and zipper front! I like this rashguard very much however..... I thought the bottoms were included but they are not. I also thought it was a little expensive for just the top alone. That being said it provides excellent coverage for people who have skin issues and need to keep covered. It is slimming, although I normally wear a medium in this I sized up and got the large. That fits just right. I just wish it came in pink and black too. June 2, 2014
True to size. Some people said it ran very small, but it fit me perfectly. I'm a 34C and ordered a small. Love it! June 2, 2014
Adorable Completely adorable top. Well made. Liked it. It was WAY to small. Usually a L or Xl in TB, occasionally a M, fits perfectly depending on the style. This is not sized across the chest for anyone bigger than a small B cup. April 25, 2014
I love this rashguard! Perfect rashguard for snorkeling. Covers well and looks fabulous. Rashguards always tend to be small, I ordered an medium which was too tight but the large fit nicely. They were out of the large so I ordered from another store and very glad I was able to get it. April 25, 2014
Great for snorkeling It was the perfect addition to our trip. I was able to be in the ocean for hours without worrying about how much sun i was getting on my back. It's a new must have. April 13, 2014
Loved it Bought to wear on a cruise. I wore a sports bra underneath. March 30, 2014
Perfect I agree that the rash guard is "fitted" but it should be exactly that way for water sports. I wear a Medium in TB...this fits like a glove on my upper body but does not roll up on the waist which is important. I think I could go with a Large but I'm keeping the Medium, only make sense that it stays put in the water. I looked at the fit on the models but they aren't muscular so it's a tough judgement call there. You don't wear bathing suits bigger so why would this be different. Hope this helps!

IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys might have taken a later start than other teams, but when it comes to getting down under the salary cap, that process is now in full swing.
The Cowboys officially restructured
A team source said the Cowboys are expected to restructure as many as "seven or eight" contracts in the next week.
Heading into this week, the Cowboys were about $20 million over the salary cap and must be completely under the cap by March 12.
The club saved more than $4 million off the cap this year by converting $5 million of Ware's base salary into a signing bonus. The Cowboys also lowered some of his cap charge by adding voidable years to the end of the deal. However, it means Ware can void his deal after 2015.
Other players who could restructure their contracts include
Players such as
And then there's
With a year left on his deal, Romo is seeking a long-term contract, likely in the neighborhood of $16-19 million annually. Still, a contract like this can be structured in a way that would certainly lower his 2013 cap charge and help the Cowboys get under the cap.
Still, both owner Jerry Jones and VP Stephen Jones said last week from the combine in Indianapolis the Cowboys can get under the cap before March 12 without signing Romo to a new contract.
Yet, if the Cowboys were to have any flexibility in free agency, it's likely a deal with Romo would have to be in the cards.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is asking residents to submit dead birds residents may find to them so officials can better document the spread of West Nile Virus.
DHEC officials say, "Birds play an important role in maintaining and spreading West Nile virus (WNV). Mosquitoes become infected with WNV when they feed on infected birds that carry the virus in their blood. After 1½ to 2 weeks, infected mosquitoes can then transmit WNV to humans and other animals."
Tracking the virus in birds that have a high death rate from WNV alerts DHEC to virus activity in a certain area of the state.
Signs of WNV illness in birds include weakness, sluggishness, shaking, seizures, inability to walk/fly/perch, blindness, or lack of fear of humans.
For more information on West Nile Virus, mosquitoes, and how you can submit a dead bird to DHEC, click here.

Alyssa Milano accepted Jay Mohr's apology after he fat-shamed her last week, but admits the weight jabs hurt her deeply, she told Extra Jan. 7.
"I just think he was trying to make a joke and not think about it, but I heard it on Christmas Day and it hurt me," said Milano. "I was affected by it and I wanted to remind him that I'm a human being and this hurts."
The controversy erupted after Mohr said in a radio interview that Milano looked chubby, especially in the stomach area, and that she had clearly let herself go after having a baby in 2011.
"She's very tiny, in height," said Mohr. "It seems like she had a baby and said, 'I don't really give a s--t.' I read it on her gut. Somebody sat in the director's chair and was not wearing Spanx and I was like, 'Jesus Christ.'"
In response, Alyssa tweeted, "So sorry you felt the need to publicly fat-shame me. Be well and God bless."
After being barraged with criticism from all sides for fat-shaming a woman about her post-baby body, Mohr apologized to Milano via Twitter. But Milano said she remains annoyed that people feel so free to criticize a woman for not losing all her baby weight immediately.
"I think it's an interesting statement about where we are socially that people feel that they can sort of rip a woman's body apart after having a baby," said Alyssa, 41.
"We've plastered these celebrities on tabloids about how much weight they gained during their pregnancy and how quickly they lose it afterwards. So it's sort of everyone's fair game, and I don't think that's fair."
The 5-foot-2 Milano said she has lost 45 of the 55 pounds she gained while pregnant by following a mostly vegetarian diet, walking and doing yoga. "I gained 55 pounds when I was pregnant," she said. "I still have 10 more to lose."
While she's happy to be thinner, Alyssa said she would never resort to extreme dieting or excessive exercise just to fit into a bikini.
"Our bodies are not made to look good in a string bikini!" she said. "Our bodies are made to nurture and cuddle and all of those amazing things that come along with being a mom. I still have a muffin top!"

BEAUMONT - By Justin Hinton, KFDM News
U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz rallied in Beaumont on Monday for Republican congressional candidate Randy Weber, who is running for the District 14 seat against Democrat Nick Lampson.
"I'm proud to be here, supporting Randy Weber and encouraging Texans to come out and vote for Randy Weber," Cruz said.
He spent the lunch hour discussing the national debt, repealing the Afordable Care Act, commonly referred to as "Obamacare" and restoring the nation.
"If we get back to the founding principles of our country, to free enterprise, to limited government, to fiscal responsibility, to the constitution, that's what enables small business and entrepreneurs to flourish and create jobs," he said.
Karson Riggs, 16, attended the rally. He still has years to go before he can vote, but he already volunteers for political campaigns, educating himself on the issues that will affect him.
"Candidates who are in office right now, are on the ballot right now, you may be voting to re-elect in two years or four years, so I think it's still important to keep up with what's going on in our government and be an informed citizen," Riggs said.
KFDM reached out to Democratic candidate Nick Lampson. His campaign had the following to say:
"Nick Lampson has a long record of public service. Jefferson County voters know Nick Lampson as a reliable and independent voice for southeast Texas. So it should come as no surprise that the newspapers that have endorsed Ted Cruz did not endorse Randy Weber, they endorsed Nick Lampson: the Beaumont Enterprise, the Houston Chronicle, and the Galveston County Daily News. In fact, Mr. Weber has yet to receive a single newspaper endorsement."
Last week, former president Bill Clinton traveled to Beaumont for a rally to support Lampson.Ted Cruz rallies in Beaumont for Randy Weber

Accepting Children for Who They Are
Take it Slow
When you notice that your child has a particular talent or interest, be careful not to go overboard with your enthusiasm and encouragement. If your preschooler starts banging on the piano, for example, don't rush right out to find the best piano teacher, sign up for lessons, and make her practice every day—because you'll soon practice the joy and love of music right out of her.
Instead, let her simply play with her newfound interest. Give her a toy xylophone and some pots and pans and to bang on. Go to the library and get a few CDs so she can hear different kinds of music. There's no need to get serious at such a young age. Remember, childhood is about exploring and discovering. Tomorrow she might decide that she hates the piano and would rather be a zookeeper.
Think Big
It's important to encourage your child's dreams, wishes, and hopes—even when they're completely different from yours. If your child declares, "I want to be a race car driver!" don't say, "Are you kidding me? You'll get killed!" Instead, look deeper and try to find the essence of that interest. Ask questions. Say, "Hmm, that's really cool. What is it about racing that interests you? Is it going fast? Having people applaud? The way a car works?" Explore a bit. Get a book from the library on race-car driving. Ask yourself, "What's the essence of this dream and how can I support that in my child?"
You can also encourage your child by introducing her to new role-models—especially people who are quite different from you and your spouse. Invite someone interesting from your office, neighborhood, or church to dinner. Host an exchange student. If you see an article in the paper about a local artisan who makes flutes and your daughter is interested in musical instruments, contact the artist and ask if she can meet him. Expand your child's world with exciting possibilities and you'll expand your view of who your child is.
"Parenting is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be joyful," Doe says. "This is not something that takes an MBA. You don't have to go to any expert, other than your own deep intuition about this child, to be a fantastic parent."
Instead of looking at parenting as a project, look at it as a dance—one that you and your child are enjoying together. As he's discovering the world, you're discovering who he is—and giving him all the support, encouragement, and acceptance he needs to thrive.

Project Runway Fashion Quiz: Episode 5 "What's the Skinny"
Project Runway Fashion Quiz: Episode 5 "What's the Skinny"
Was last night's episode of Project Runway not the most emotional yet? The most shocking bit, the whole Jack/Chris switcheroo, had me in tears one minute and laughing the next. And the challenge itself tugged on the heartstrings: recrafting the favorite outfits of women who had recently lost a considerable amount of weight. Overall, it was a great episode. However, my vote went to Kevin's outfit — not Christian's — even with the leggings. I just thought his model looked the most Fab in that little strapless top. Aside from all the emotions, were you paying attention to the details? Take our quiz and see!

Except, "Feminism" does not mean the same thing as "equal rights for women". Feminism does want pretty much exactly that, states explicitly as its primary objective.used a fake quote to support unjustified and inflammatory conclusions about the feminist movement. That you posted this in response to an article about people getting killed for being female makes you look insensitive at best and like you're supporting the killer's anti-female thought at worst. It is similar to remarking on the occasion of a targeted killing of a Muslim waiter that Muslims were responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing.
I'd call Gloria "all sex is rape" Steinem only marginally more sane than Lepine, with only the knowledge that she wouldn't get away with it keeping her from forceably castrating half the human race.
(Green, if you must know, with strong Libertarian leanings).Well, that's a fucking surprise.
It is much easier to simply say that JD has more privilege than I do because he's a man. It is more accurate to say that in certain circumstances, JD's male privilege will dominate and show a clear advantage, while in others it will not help him at all.posted by cybercoitus interruptus at 11:25 PM on December 6, 2009 [8 favorites]
Here's the scenario to illustrate the Kyriarchy concept:
We go out to a restaurant. JD is male, so the waitstaff may automatically assume he's paying for the meal. The food is terrible. JD's male privilege means that if he complains to the management, he's more likely to be taken seriously and get compensation. Then we both get food poisoning. my socioeconomic privilege now trumps his male privilege. I have excellent insurance and am able to expect good care and be seen the same day. JD has terrible insurance, and his only real option is emergency room or to call all around town trying to find an urgent care facility that takes his insurance. Once we're in to see our respective doctors, his (relative) thin privilege gives him an advantage because the doctor is more likely to take him seriously and treat his illness instead of blaming it on his weight and telling him he wouldn't be nauseous if he didn't stuff his face. BUT, JD is in therapy, therefore in the mental health system. In this case, my current mental health privilege may mean I will get better care because my doctor won't ask me condescendingly if I've been feeling a lot of stress lately and conclude that my illness is psychosomatic.
And if you are not receiving the full benefit of your White Middle-Class Male Privilege in 'enlightened' society today, you are not doing it right.and
You are imbued with a certain degree of privilege because of your demographics, and with that privilege comes a certain degree of responsibility ...I don't even disagree with the second statement (the first is kind of bullshit), I just don't see this as very useful way to frame the debate, that's all. If that opinion is offensive, my apologies. I'd just like to see these threads go better. Something is not working right here.
They all know it is there, all the people of Omelas. Some of them haveposted by empath at 2:59 PM on December 7, 2009 [1 favorite]
come to see it, others are content merely to know it is there. They
all know that it has to be there. Some of them understand why, and
some do not, but they all understand that their happiness, the beauty
of their city, the tenderness of their friendships, the health of
their children, the wisdom of their scholars, the skill of their
makers, even the abundance of their harvest and the kindly weathers of
their skies, depend wholly on this child's abominable misery.
But times have changed. The defeat of the New Deal coalition in the late 1970s and early 1980s splintered the left, creating a proliferation of political projects that more often than not had tenuous connections to the type of social welfare liberalism that held together the American left for decades. Among the most visible of these "new social movements" were the efforts of people of color, women, queers, and other historically oppressed groups to combat their subordinate positions and demand representation in the mainstream of American society. Such identity politics has been enormously successful on its own terms. While there are still many struggles against identity-based oppression to be won, the United States is a far less racist, sexist and homophobic society than it was even a couple of decades ago, and multiculturalism is a key component of standard educational curricula and corporate human resources policy. You also may have heard that our country recently elected its first African-American president. The recent passage of the Proposition 8 gay marriage ban in California notwithstanding, old-style racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of identity oppression based on individual attitudes has been definitively discredited. Oppression simply doesn't work that way anymore, for the most part.Sorry for the big old quote, the whole comment's much longer and well worth a read, and has the advantage of being by someone from America who knows your country in ways I don't.
However, these welcome victories have occurred against a backdrop of massive and growing social inequality the likes of which we have not seen since the Gilded Age of the late 19th century. Since Milk's time, the gap between the rich and the rest of us has widened dramatically. The federal minimum wage is worth 19% less now (in real dollars) than in 1979. Union membership rates have plummeted to about 12% of the American workforce (only about 7.5% in the private sector), down from labor's high-water mark in the 1950s when around 30% of all workers were in unions. Three decades ago, corporate executives made 30 to 40 times more than the average worker. Today, they "earn" about 344 times the pay of most of their employees. Income shares for the top 20% of American households have skyrocketed while those for the lower and middle portions of the distribution have barely kept pace with inflation. Unless radical measures are undertaken, the contemporary economic crisis will likely exacerbate such disturbing trends.
Surprisingly, such issues of structural social inequality and class power have gone largely unaddressed in the groves of academe and the pages of political theory journals (to say nothing of the wider society or the political system), as theorists under the influence of postmodernism and post-structuralism have mostly turned their focus to investigating issues of identity and diversity. As anyone who has been through the American higher educational system in the past two decades can attest, there's an almost obsessive focus in academia (both in the classroom and in campus life) on issues of identity and diversity but nary is a word spoken about socioeconomic inequality...
If assertions of difference are to be truly emancipatory, Schwartz argues, 'a democratic pluralist polity that affirms the value of "difference" can only be achieved if the ethos of solidarity - a sense that the fate of each citizen affects the destiny of all - is revived as a public philosophy underpinning majoritarian support for social rights.' Absent such a commitment to building a politics of solidarity, assertions of difference (or the "performativity" of identity in the postmodern argot) will simply play out on a terrain of vast inequality and do nothing to combat the oppression that people experience through the operation of structural forces such as the labor and housing markets. As Schwartz pointedly observes, "one can't ]'perform' one's way out of an under-funded inner-city school or out of being a laid-of auto worker with dim prospects of finding a new job with comparable wages and benefits." But the defeat of the left as a mass social force has led many social and political theorists to retreat into advocacy of small-scale, localized and individualistic responses to oppression and inequality.
'This is because it reifies the individual and locates privilege in them like it were original sin, even if it's seen as fluid and varying somewhat in each given situation.It's all of a piece, but it's that reification of the individual that I think is the key flaw in the discourse of privilege. I can quote from specific comments to show what prompted the impression if you like, but I'd rather avoid seeming to call people out and talk about the concept.
But that's to look at it entirely backwards - the problem is processes and institutions that reproduce and survive barely affected by the myriad individuals who live and die in the bounds they set when those people are considered in isolation or even in their personal dealings with others.'
So it's not that I think any mention of the word is inappropriate but that it contributes to this excessive focus on moral persuasion of individuals, which is self-defeating because it seeks to end oppression but actually shifts the focus from the kinds of actions that will really achieve that.Are you sure these concerns you have don't just absolve you from the "original sin" mentioned upthread? I see it's being couched as a different, strategic, concern... but it does, suspiciously, have that useful side-effect.
You know, pla, I am one of those people who ended up writing only a "thank you" to Hildegarde and posting a dot. I was going to write something more-- [snipped for space - original here] -- But I didn't, because your ignorant comments in that thread pissed me off to the point where I couldn't write something civilI'm glad that comment was made here, but wish it could have just been part of an interesting conversation in the original thread on the blue.
None of this is to imply that new professionals are left without goals. Ironically, however, the primary goal for many becomes, in essence, getting compensated sufficiently for sidelining their original goals. Robert H. Frank, a Cornell University economics professor, tried to find out exactly how much compensation people deem sufficient for making this sacrifice. He surveyed graduating seniors at his university and found, for example, that the typical student would rather work as an advertising copywriter for the American Cancer Society than as an advertising copywriter for Camel cigarettes, and would want a salary 50% higher to do it for the cigarette company. The typical student would want conscience money amounting to a 17% salary boost to work as an accountant for a large petrochemical company instead of doing the same job for a large art museum. Indeed, employers that are seen as less socially responsible do have to pay a "moral reservation premium" to get the workers they want. Frank found that men are more likely than women to sell out, and this accounts for at least part of the gap in average salaries between equal men and women.[1]posted by Chuckles at 9:52 PM on December 8, 2009

trying to explain why the raw numbers appear they way they appear, one possible explanation is that society is unintentionally biased against women, or gives privilege to men.There are many possible explanations and I don't think it does anyone any good to dismiss them all as obviously irrelevant in comparison to institutionalized sexism, if the point is truly to discuss the wage gap. Of course if the point is to prove that society is biased against women, well, it's a very complex example to use for that purpose; there are many obvious arguments to be made for that.
Okay. What's another explanation?

How Gore became as rich as Romney
The former veep's loss to Bush allowed him to focus on business. Selling Apple stock and Current TV added plenty to his coffers.
Losing to George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election may have been the best thing to happen to former U.S. Vice President Al Gore's bank account.
When Gore was running for president, he had a net worth of about $1.7 million, not shoddy by any means. Yet today, Gore's fortune may have topped $200 million, making his previous wealth seem paltry by comparison.
The former senator has transformed himself into a mogul whose wealth rivals that of former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who was often derided during last year's election for being out of touch with the average American.
Gore's new-found wealth has also served as an irritant, with many Americans now perceiving him as a hypocritical liberal who's enjoying the bounty of capitalism -- like his lavish, energy-hogging Nashville home -- while telling the rest of us to turn off the lights and switch to fluorescent bulbs.
Whatever you may think of Gore, how he earned his millions makes for a fascinating look at the intersection of business, political access and luck. Below are seven ways he built his fortune, according to a report from Bloomberg.
Selling $30 million in Apple stock. Gore joined Apple's (AAPL) board when the late Steve Jobs asked him to take on the role in March 2003. Apple was trading at $7.50 per share when Gore got on board, and now the stock trades above $400. Earlier this year, he made $30 million from the sale of 59,000 shares he had been granted for serving on the board.
Earning $175,000 per speech: While his best-selling books, such as "An Inconvenient Truth," haven't added to his wealth -- he pledged their earnings to his nonprofit, the Climate Reality Project -- they've made him hot on the speaker's circuit, where he earns $175,000 per speech.
Paying himself $1.2 million: Gore, along with partners including Los Angeles billionaire Ron Burkle, bought a small Canadian cable news network for $70 million in 2004 and renamed it Current TV. Gore paid himself $1.2 million a year in salary and bonuses, while the network failed to gain a mass audience.
Reaping $70 million from Current TV's sale: Even though Current had failed to compete on the same level as Time Warner's (TWX) CNN and News Corp.'s (NWS) Fox News, Gore and his partners sold the network to Al Jazeera earlier this year for about $500 million. Gore's profit was an estimated $70 million for his 20% stake.
Splitting $218 million in investment profits: Gore founded an investment firm called Generation Investment Management with former Goldman Sachs (GS) executive David Blood in 2004. While it's not known how much Gore has made from the venture, it took in about $218 million in profits from 2008 to 2011, which were to be split among its 26 partners. It's believed that Gore and Blood have the largest equity stakes.
Getting rich pay from Google: Before Gore was asked to serve on Apple's board, he worked as a senior adviser to Google (GOOG) prior to its 2004 IPO. While Google won't discuss Gore's pay, some people believe it might be as large as his remuneration from Apple.
Holding $45.6 million in Apple shares and options: Gore continues to hold a sizable chunk of Apple restricted stock and options, with a gross value of more than $45.6 million.

Whom to admire? One working hard in business, taking risk and making money or politicians. Politics is a good business. You are always a winner once elected. Interest groups ar throwing money at you and your contacts are worth millions.
This is so in America, it is so in dictatorial rules, communist rules, rich and poor country alike.
No wonder we average buffoons are screwed worshipping our moral less leaders.
Americans admire the rich and powerful and forgive them their greed or any special treatment they may get.
In the same way that rich democrats are hypocrites about making money off the backs of the poor rich republicans are hypocrites for wanting a big government to protect their business interests and to give them special tax breaks. Why can no one see that both sides don't care about you they just want to make money?
easy, while romney worked good old AL lied and made feel good movies that tricked some of the tree huggers into sending him money thinking he was going to help the environment. then he sits back with their money in his mansion and rides around in his jet (both spewing Co2).
he makes up things and calls them facts as the simple minded lefties will believe anything. basically romney is a business man working for his family and the strengths of the usa while AL sits on his butt trying to scam people into believing his crap, you know the type a cross between obama, joe biden and a used car salesman in a bad part of town... I think I nailed this one

A French proposal to ban full face veils has stoked debate in Europe and also provoked strong reactions across the Mediterranean in North Africa, where many of France's Muslims trace their origins.
Former French colonies Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia are still tied to France by history, language and migration, so their views on the "burqa" issue could have a direct influence on how Muslims inside France react to a ban.
People in North Africa are split between those who see the proposed ban — a version of which has already been approved by Belgium's lower house of parliament — as an attack on Islam, and those who applaud Europe for defending secular values.
What is shared though by at least some people on each side of the argument is a concern that talk of a ban could be exploited by unscrupulous politicians and ratchet up tension between the authorities in Europe and Muslim communities.

Yes the one and only! Patsy's is the Neapolitan restaurant Frank Sinatra visited often and frequently even till his time of passing. Opening in 1933, Patsy's Pizzeria quickly established itself as a family style, old-fashioned neighborhood restaurant. The restaurant quickly became popular and attracted famous personalities such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Tony Bennett; who in time became regulars.
A friend told me about this restaurant and insisted to take me there for a cultural experience. At first I was not sure if I want to commute all the way to east Harlem for this "most amazing pizza in the world", but boy was it worth it!
When you first walk in you feel like you are in a simple place, there are black and white photographs on the wall, and the seating is simple. Every table has a paper sheet on top of the tablecloth. Its simple but I loved the idea of being able to draw on the table haha. We ordered mozzarela sticks with marinera sauce, and two large pizza's: one plain cheese (for my friend), and one mushroom (for me) :P. We also ordered some red wine and peroni's.
While waiting for our food we started playing a game of tic tac toe and hangman. Apparently my hangman skills are a little rusty. When the pizza came it just looked very simple and very yummie. The first bite I forgot that the pizza was just out of the oven, and because I was eager to try this amazing pizza I slightly burned my tongue. Once the pizza cooled down, I stuffed my face with as many slices as possible.
There weren't many people at the restaurant when we sat at Patsy's, but in the right company, the food was absolutely amazing. And I loved how quickly the service was. We spent 64$ in total; fair priced and absolutly homey food. Though located on E117th and 1st ave, the restaurant has two locations, and I would definitely recommend the experience Patsy's. You should check it out!

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 1993 vintage is a pure, classic expression of the Eisele Vineyard aromas and flavors of black cherry, cassis, chocolate,
mineral and spice, complemented by toasty sweet vanilla and a clear cedar note. Surprisingly elegant and polished, the wine's intense richness is balanced by exceptionally fine and silky tannins, delivering a lingering full-bodied finish.
"As I reported last year, the 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a spectacular wine from a vintage that has consistently received unfavorable press (particularly from the Wine Spectator). It seems to me that if the 1993 vintage were taken out of the context of the historical succession of outstanding years in the nineties, and put in the eighties, qualitatively, 1993 would tower over the likes of 1987, 1985, or 1984. The Eisele Vineyard 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the half dozen or so candidates for wine of the vintage. I have tasted it three times out of bottle, once rating it as high as 98, but never less than 96. It is a mind-boggling Cabernet Sauvignon that is remarkably well-balanced for its size and intensity. The color is an opaque purple, and the nose offers up smoky, chocolatey, blackcurrant, licorice, and mineral scents. On the palate, the wine reveals fabulous density, concentration, sweetness of fruit as well as tannin, and a 30-40 second finish. Although there is a high percentage of new oak, this wine has completely soaked it up, a testament to its extract and concentration of fruit. While the wine displays a certain precociousness, unusual for a 1993, there is plenty of tannin lurking in the finish, but it is well-concealed by the wine's exceptional richness. This beauty is destined to age effortlessly for 20-25 years.
The Eisele Vineyard has always produced concentrated Cabernet Sauvignons with blackcurrant/cassis personalities intermixed with a mineral component. What the Araujos have been able to achieve is to intensify the fruit character, as well as the wine's purity and definition. That, plus high quality French oak barrels and a natural approach to winemaking has resulted in a succession of extraordinary Cabernets that began in 1991, and shows no signs of abating."
96 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Remarkably youthful and vibrant, with spicy currant, plum, black cherry and anise flavors that pick up touches of earth, mocha and cigar box. Enormous complexity, depth and range of flavors. Has hit an ideal drinking plateau now, but could well last another decade. Decant.--1993 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2012. 1,285 cases made."

Wine Spectator
Since 1971, some of California's most ageworthy and intensely-flavored Cabernet Sauvignons have been made from grapes grown at the Eisele Vineyard, located on a benchland near the northern end of Napa Valley, just east of Calistoga.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Eight Die on Kentucky Roadways (Oct. 15 through Oct. 21)
Date of News Release: 10/22/12
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that eight people died in eight separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Oct. 15 through Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012.
Single fatality motor vehicle crashes occurred in each of the following counties: Christian, Clay, Henderson, Laurel, Marshall, Ohio and Spencer. Four of the victims were not wearing seat belts. Two of the crashes involved the use of alcohol.
One pedestrian was killed in Boyle County.
Through Oct. 21, preliminary statistics* indicate that 568 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2012. This is 25 fewer than reported for this time period in 2011. Of the 439 motor vehicle fatalities, 250 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 67 motorcycle fatalities, 35 were not wearing a helmet. Eleven of the 13 ATV fatalities were not wearing a helmet. Forty-four pedestrians, one scooter/moped rider and four bicycle riders have been killed. A total of 100 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

Cisco Eyes Huge Opportunity In Personal Cloud
Maxwell is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Life in "the cloud" is becoming the new standard. Everything from individual, home desktops to business applications are moving there, even though 'there' seems to be a bit nebulous. The clear and steady trend over the last ten years shows traditional software models becoming all but obsolete.
Business Applications
Cloud based applications are becoming an easier, more cost-effective way to operate, store your data, customize your applications, and make your network more secure. Businesses are now running many key function applications in the cloud, such as customer relationship management (CRM), Human Resources (HR), and accounting. For the employee, the cloud carries many perks. Businesses in the cloud offer their employees the ability to create a document on the ride to work using an app on a mobile phone, then open the file on a work PC when you get into the office.
Personal Applications
But now, the cloud is getting even more personal. Large applications that assist multinational companies that currently operate in the cloud are now being joined by the consumer's photos they have moved to the Web. Consumers can now store recordings of their favorite TV show right next to those intricate databases, and still be able to access them whenever they want – no extra equipment necessary.
Cloud Growth
According to Forrester Research, emails and communications software, documents, spreadsheets, music and videos are all examples of the sort of content consumers will want to access remotely by mid-decade.
According to Forrester, 46 million Americans used cloud computing services in 2010. Nearly 10 million in that group used paid services. Forrester expects usage to increase more than 400% to 196 million people by 2016, with 97 million of those paying for services.
IDC, a tech research firm, recently estimated that revenue from public cloud services exceeded $30.5 billion in 2011 and will grow to a staggering $72.9 billion in 2015. This growth is approximately four times faster than the IT market as a whole.
Another source, Gartner's recently published Gartner Hype Cycle for Cloud Computing, 2012, estimates that the cloud business performance management market will grow 25% year-over-year.
Cisco Sees Growth Opportunity
Cisco competes in many areas of technology. Its Power Trader platform provides online stock trading tools that claim to enhance collaboration, enable mobility, and improve the customer experience. Cisco is increasingly facing competition from new companies which target specific parts of its business, like Online Trading Academy, which provides online stock market trading education to investors. It is becoming increasingly critical that Cisco continues to expand its business portfolio in high growth areas such as the personal cloud.
It has always been more cost effective to buy space instead of machines. Why purchase a DVR when, for a small fee, recording your favorite program can be bundled into your cable bill? Instead, cloud-based services would allow video subscribers to record and watch shows from any Internet connected device whether they're home or not.
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) seems to be the first to think targeting the personal cloud space – or at least implementing its cloud products in a consumer friendly way. The company is adding new capabilities to its video software platform for TV service providers. The new functionality will allow cable operators and other TV service providers to offer digital video recording from the cloud.
The all new 'Videoscape Unity platform' was recently released at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The software suite and service will allow viewers to access video content on more devices from anywhere with WiFi or an internet connection. As it develops, Cisco claims it will allow more interaction with the programming via social networking sites, allowing comments, commentary, and 'likes'.
Not only was this a huge wake-up call to other service providers, the bold partnership with AT&T (NYSE: T) that Cisco is pursuing should jar some companies out of their reverie and into action. Teaming up with AT&T for a wireless home security and automation service, the new AT&T Digital Life, Cisco revealed plans for a system that lets customers manage their home security anywhere, from their smartphones, tablets or computers.
The implications of this are thrilling for the consumer. All things from turning off your lights, arming your security system, to even watching the video inside and outside your home and control appliances, lighting and HVAC are now available wherever, whenever, from your tablet or smartphone.
Options for this amazing new home security system will include a video package, which includes the ability to view live video of the outside or inside of a subscriber's home, and an energy package, which allows remote control of lights, heating, air conditioning and appliances. Another package will allow subscribers to remotely open their door for a pet-sitter or repairman or to check from afar if the doors are opened or closed. The company is pushing for a roll out date of March 2013.
This seems like yet another way of AT&T eating away at the market share of others. Casually offering 'Screen Pack', a modest collection of newer titles, but nowhere near Netflix's (NASDAQ: NFLX), it doesn't attempt to overpower its competition. According to the Associated Press, "Netflix offers more than 60,000 titles that can be viewed on Internet-connected devices, while its DVD-by-mail service has more than twice that — some 140,000". AT&T seems content just to offer something else – in every category. Home security, movies, and – oh yes – phone service. No bold moves or earth-shattering rollouts – just a very subtle 'Sun Tzu-esque' way of chipping away at the enemy's stronghold.
This new move with Cisco is yet another example, if for no other reason but because cloud DVR's make sense.
Not only does it allow for more flexibility in terms of viewing and recording programs, but it could offer consumers much greater storage. It also increases the number of programs that can be recorded at once, and is also more efficient and cost effective for cable operators. The problem however comes to the companies offering physical recordings – DVD's, blu-rays, and the like.
More controversy came back in 2007 when the TV and movie industry sued cable operator Cablevision for implementing what it called a "networked DVR." Cablevision won the suit the following year in the U.S. Court of Appeals, and continues offering customers the option to record and store content in the "cloud" instead of on individual boxes in the home.
While the Cisco Videoscape Unity platform is designed to allow more access to more devices from anywhere, it's up to the cable companies and other TV service providers to determine how they will implement the services.
Investors can and should ride the cloud wave. The future of cloud computing is extremely bullish. These three models are easy wins for the investor. A company that focuses on making the cloud more consumer-friendly and providing cost-effective space rather than bulky and pricey machinery could be set for explosive growth in the next few years.
