Aqua Cool Body Cooler: Does it Work? By: Lauren Keith
Chances are on a hot day in the Heartland, you've seen a few people wearing water-soaked bandanas around their neck. Anne Gooch has. She and I wonder if this way of cooling down really works. Anne's the perfect tester for this product, the reusable body cooler called "Aqua Cool."
Anne posts the signs during weekend races at the SEMO Raceway track near Blodgett. It's a part-time gig she loves, except on the really hot days.
"It's very hot and no shade," says Anne.
It's also a long run from Anne's spot to the stands for some shade. That's why she emailed me wondering if Aqua Cool could help.
"Ready to soak!"
In the middle of the Aqua Cool are silicon crystals. The instructions tell us not to put this in a freezer, but you can soak it in ice cold water or in a refrigerator for at least three to five minutes. Then, towel off the excess water, being careful *not* to wring it out. I guess that might affect the beads.
"Oh we'll see. Wow!" says Anne taking the Aqua Cool out of the ice water in the cooler.
We both notice the middle of the Aqua Cool is puffed up, almost like a pillow. She and I thought this was just a regular old bandana. It now looks like an ice pack, but it's much more lightweight.
"It's nice and cold back there," Anne says as she ties the Aqua Cool around her neck.
I've seen people wear these before, but I never knew there was an actual cooling device back there.
"I'm pleased with it already," she says.
Will she be pleased with it after a few days? Aqua Cool promises it's re-usable. Anne agrees to wear this bandana for a few races. She'll also work as normal, without the bandana so she can see if there's a difference. Anne also took the Aqua Cool on a recent camping trip. When I caught up with her after two weeks, is she steaming mad or cooling down quite nicely?
"I love it. I took it out of the cooler yesterday and it's still puffy and cool. It stayed cool for a couple of days," she says.
Anne says the Aqua Cool tie works best if you soak it in the cooler or fridge. She definitely noticed a difference when she didn't wear it during the races.
"I'd give it a grade 'A'. I love it, and I'm going to use it all the time," says Anne.
The price tag isn't so bad either: $5 at the outdoor section of Wal-Mart. It's a finish line frenzy for the Aqua Cool and its grade 'A' on this Does it Work test.

What Euna and Laura Faced in North Korea
Jailed journalists Euna Lee and Lisa Ling faced unimaginable horrors.
Heather Robinson and Jennifer Ginsberg: Watching journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee return from North Korea escorted by former President Bill Clinton, no one with a heart could fail to be delighted -- and relieved. Mothers across the country were especially moved to see Lee reunite in a long-awaited embrace with her beautiful 4-year-old daughter, Hannah.
These women faced unimaginable horrors; in June, they were sentenced to 12 years each in a forced labor camp overseen by the regime of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, one of the world's worst human rights violators. But as we rejoice at seeing them back in the United States, we should spare a thought for the hundreds of thousands of human beings trapped in North Korea's nightmarishly brutal Kwan-li-so and Kyo-hwa-so prison labor camps. And we should consider how U.S. foreign policy -- specifically that of former President Clinton -- may have impacted the human rights of those who still suffer at the hands of Kim Jong-il.
North Korea's "labor" camps, as described by investigative reporter Claudia Rossett in the Wall Street Journal, are a vast system of political prisons reserved for people who have done
-- or even said or written -- something Kim Jong-il does not like. It is his policy to imprison dissidents' families (including children and grandchildren) in these nightmarish camps, often for life.
Details emerge sparingly because so few people come out alive. Veteran human rights researcher David Hawk conducted an in-depth series of interviews with 30 North Koreans who have experienced these prison camps first-hand. Mr. Hawk says that, even among the most terrible prison systems on the planet, this system is "the worst."
In these camps, prisoners are systematically starved while being overworked (often to death), in a manner reminiscent of Nazi concentration camps. While it is difficult to know how many people have suffered and died in these camps, most conservative estimates are that they presently hold between 150,000 and 200,000 people.
Particularly harsh special detention centers exist for North Koreans who try to escape to China and fail. There, as told to Mr. Hawk by eight separate eyewitnesses, the newborn infants of women who have attempted to flee to China are routinely murdered on the grounds that "they might have been fathered by Chinese men."
One of Mr. Hawk's interviewees, a 66-year-old grandmother identified as detainee #24, describes being assigned to help deliver babies who were then thrown into plastic-lined boxes to die in bulk lots.
It bears remembering that, while former President Bill Clinton brought home journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling in triumph, as President he employed a policy in North Korea which, however well-intentioned, failed abysmally. Moreover, a case can be made that this policy strengthened Kim Jong-il's ability to oppress millions.
During his term in office, President Clinton gave North Korea hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, food, oil, and even two "light-water" reactors for peaceful use. In return, despite a promise to halt his nuclear weapons program and use the resources to ease his people's suffering, Kim Jong-il channeled those resources into his nuclear weapons program. In the meantime, according to the lowest estimates, 1 million North Koreans starved to death.
Prior to the women's release, President Clinton and Kim Jong-il shared a two-hour dinner, during which Kim Jong-il claimed Clinton "apologized" for U.S. actions. Although the former President denied having made such an apology, it is clear Kim Jong-il was using the situation to score a propagandistic victory.
Grateful as we are for President Clinton's success in bringing these women home, we must not allow this happy ending to put a pretty face on a murderous regime. In formulating policy towards North Korea's brutal government, President Obama should speak softly -- and carry a big stick. Because when it comes to Kim Jong-il, like many a murderous dictator before him, carrots -- when offered as incentives, not rewards -- don't work.

SUNDAY, Nov. 14 (HealthDay News) -- As children mature,
increased synchronization between specific areas of the brain alter
how they view themselves and others, a new study suggests.
This includes an increasing aptitude for introspection,
researchers say.
Georgetown University Medical Center researchers used functional
MRI to examine the activity of the five scattered brain regions
that comprise what's known as the default-mode network (DMN).
It's believed that the DMN -- which is only active when the mind
is at rest and allowed to wander or daydream -- plays an important
role in a person's introspective understanding of themselves and
others, and in the formation of beliefs, intentions and desires
through autobiographical memory, the study authors explained.
The researchers found that the DMN regions don't yet work
together in children ages 6 to 9. These areas light up in an fMRI
scan (which tracks brain activity in real time), but they do not do
so simultaneously. However, by ages 10 to 12, the regions begin to
function together and at ages 13 to 19 they're fully
"These results suggest that children develop introspection over time as their brains develop," first author and neuroscientist Stuart Washington said in a GUMC news release. "Before then they are somewhat egocentric, which is not to mean that they are negatively self-centered, but they think that everyone views the world in the same way they do. They lack perspective in that way."
The study was to be presented Sunday at the annual meeting of
the Society for Neuroscience, in San Diego.
The team also pointed out that previous research has suggested
that the DMN is not well synchronized in many people with

Welcome to Troop 97!
Our goal in Troop 97 is to have each
scout that enters the troop reach the rank of First Class within one
year. We realize that scouts work at different paces, therefore, with
the help of parents along with the program we have in place, we feel
that this will not be a factor for scouts in reaching this goal.
During each meeting, scouts will
participate in patrol meetings, lessons that promote rank advancement,
plus a scout skill or game that promotes physical fitness and/or
teamwork. All scouts should bring with them to each meeting, their scout
book, patrol dues ($1.00 per weekly meeting that the scout attends), and
also be properly dressed in their scout uniform. All the above are a
must for information, pride and responsibility.
For our troop to keep up with the progress of each scout, we have invested in a computer program that keeps track of various forms of information, including rank requirements, partial or completed merit badges. In addition, special awards, total nights camp, service hours earned, and other accomplishments will be tracked. Any parent wishing to know how their son is progressing can contact the Scoutmaster at (318) 671-1558 or visit with him during a regularly scheduled meeting. It is important that a scout keep his scout book updated at all times. As a scout completes a specific rank requirement, the Scoutmaster or one of the Assistant Scoutmaster's can sign off for the particular activity, thus allowing the scout to keep track of his own rank advancement.
Troop 97 teaches every scout the importance of learning to live by the Scout Oath and Scout Law. We hope that each young man fully enjoys the opportunities that the scouting program has to offer.

It's a nice tweak, been updated over night to fix some small issues but it is nice!
Someone should code a tweak that shows the actual device temperature on the status bar.
You have to have location on all the time be great to pick from a list or use location code.
Has anyone noticed how pointless all of the new ios 7 tweaks are?
I get these random Numbers along side the weather temp. Anyone else get these?. This is what it say's on the top of my statusbar--> Time, then 410400012 then the temp. What's the middle numbers represent?
Works on iPhone5 may be a clash between tweaks?
Hoping there's a fix for 12-hour coming.
This is good for temperature if it worked better, I guess. Does anyone know of a good data usage monitor tweak? For those that want to keep track of cellular data usage (other than WeeTrackData which I bought)
Something like this weather type tweak that just shows you data used when you tap it?

Radio 3 Live in Concert, Live from the Royal Festival Hall Episode 2 of 2
Live from the Royal Festival Hall
Presented by Martin Handley.
In our first broadcast from the South Bank's concert series 'The Rest is Noise', Sir Mark Elder conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in music by three of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. Concluding part:
Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
Lilli Paasikivi (mezzo-soprano)
Paul Groves (tenor)
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Mark Elder (conductor)
'The Rest is Noise: the Soundtrack of the Twentieth Century' is a series of nearly one hundred events, including concerts, performances, film screenings, talks and debates, organised by London's South Bank Centre. The title is inspired by the acclaimed 2007 book 'The Rest is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century', by American music critic Alex Ross, and the series is an exploraton of how 'war, race, sex and politics shaped the most important music of the 20th century'. The series revolves around performances by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and tonight they are conducted by Sir Mark Elder in three works from the first decade of the century. Mahler completed 'Das Lied von der Erde' in 1909, following his Eighth Symphony, weaving two vocal soloists into a monumental symphonic texture. Schoenberg's Five Orchestral Pieces date from 1909, described by the composer as "a vivid, uninterrupted succession of colours and moods". Anton Webern studied first with Mahler, and then with Schoenberg, and his 1908 work 'Im Sommerwind' is pre-serial Webern, a piece that was never performed in his lifetime.

This exploratory proof of concept study will be conducted in patients with stable New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-III heart failure. The focus of the efficacy endpoints is to test the hypothesis that GSK716155 administration will increase glucose uptake and utilization in the myocardium, resulting in increased myocardial efficiency and increased exercise capacity. A positive result, defined as either statistically significant effects on one or more of the efficacy endpoints or as an overall signal suggesting a clinically relevant effect on myocardial physiology, would provide evidence for potential progression into further development in a chronic heart failure population.

My friends and I hit up a nice new restaurant in Yountville this weekend...R&D Kitchen near the north end of the village.
Great experience!
#1 Snobbery: NONE. My friends were dressed sub-Napa Casual (tee shirt and shorts) and I had ridden over to my friends house to carpool over to Napa for our bicycle ride, so I was dressed in cycling clothes (Castelli!) Had not really planned on a fancy restaurant meal, but... The staff was great. No snobbery at all!
#2 Great simple menu with a lovely use of fresh herbs. My friend said his burger was epic...hand ground meat, awesome accompaniments. My spinach and cheese omelet was rolled into a cute tube! It was creamy and delicious. The simple heirloom tomato and watermelon salad was delicious and simple, with great use of herbs and a lovely dressing. Even the house-baked toast was tasty.
#3 The above and beyond. Somehow, my friend's order for the hamburger got printed out on a separate ticket than his wife's and mine, so his hamburger was a short few minutes early. We didn't mind all that much, because Donna and I were still finishing the tomato salad while he got started on the burger. Anyway, two staff people came by to apologize, they comped us free guacamole which was cool! THEN, they brought us a free hot fudge sundae for the table AND comped his hamburger.
#4 This is the company that owns Rutherford Grille. The pedigree really shows! Without the sometime insane crowds!
We often start our bicycle rides at the park a short walk away (even in bicycle cleats) so this will be a major addition to our dining choices!

More about those on welfare
I've read some other articles concerning my exact thoughts about these young people having kids just to be on welfare. This is why the city is plagued by high poverty rate. These people drop out of school with very limited choices because of a weak family foundation, and this is a generational problem. But here's an idea: Stand out in front of the housing authority with signs pertaining to "quit having babies that you can't support." On certain days, you have Bible thumpers standing at the female clinics trying to stop young women from going in there. Well, and this would include myself, stand out in front of the housing authority and get into the faces of these people who made bad choice in life who have the desire just to live off of backs of the tax payers' expense.
Boy, would that be a scene. Especially when you see them pull up in there nice cars with a couple kids in tow, huh? Perhaps embarrassment would be the right medicine these people should have thrown at them.
How to solve illegal immigration
There is an easy way to solve the illegal immigration problem. First, fine any company $1 million for every illegal they hire and send the owner or CEO of the business to prison, not a Federal summer camp but state prison, for 10 years. That would solve the problem overnight. The problem is big business want illegals, so they have basically an almost slave labor workforce with no rights, and the politicians pandering to business like to use them as the whipping boys for all society's ills. The myth of illegals getting free this and free that is been perpetuated every week in this column, but hey, little brown-skinned people are an easy target aren't they? They look different.
Regarding the elephants
Hometown News issue of March 1, 2013, front page: A Mr. John Lenhardt, Executive Director of The National Elephant Center spoke to a crowd of about 50 people Wednesday, Feb. 20th stating, "I'm a very happy man today." "Elephants need a future and we're looking forward to a wonderful future here."
A $2.5 million project is only the 'first phase' of the center, which includes a large barn with paddocks, an animal keeper work center, and more than 20 acres of four interconnected pastures with watering holes, mud wallows, dust bathing areas and shade.
Just last year, Fellsmere City Councilman Fernando Herrera came out to the property approximately three miles north and west of downtown Fellsmere and all he could see were orange trees and other native plants.
Herrera stated, "I think it's awesome and this is a perfect place for the animals."
"They are not going to bother anyone and it's a nice place for them with the weather." Mr. Lenhardt stated. "Up to this point the great majority of the funding for the project has come from zoos and several 'generous donors.'"
"Moving forward fundraising will have to be a big focus in order for expansion to occur, center staff said."
What? Are you kidding? The center will not be open to the public? What?
But will offer training for both elephants and elephant keepers, and occasionally be open to education programs to raise 'awareness' about elephants and the 'work' at the center.
Hometown News issue March 8, 2013, Page A8: More than 100 people gathered at the Trinity Episcopal Church Saturday to help those who, for no fault of their own, need a nutritious meal. People from many churches and charitable organizations packed nearly 115,000 meals for "Hunger Challenge Vero Beach."
The women shown in several photos were smiling and happy in what they were doing. In contrast, a National Elephant Center, a dream of Mr. John Lenhardt to make "Him Happy." This truly demonstrates the selfishness and ignorance of some, and the absolute opposite of others.
When Councilman Fernando Herrera went out to the "elephant property," all he could see was orange trees and native plants!
What did that mean? This is Florida!
It seems to me, many people in authority are involved in "The Future of Elephants." In fact, they are gung ho. Two-and-a-half million could feed a lot of families right in our own neighborhoods, help them find jobs. Donations from zoos, but people are not allowed to visit this new elephant center.
Other donations? How about this one -- Politics?
Don't hold your breath
Welfare fraud is rampant but it could be reduced, if not eliminated, by politicians if they had the will to act. Unfortunately, President Obama is beholden to just the kind of people most likely to be on welfare. Don't hold your breath waiting for him to do anything helpful for the taxpayer.
Low school ratings may equate food stamps
The low ratings of many of our public schools are deplorable. Even if these kids are pushed through and allowed to graduate, they will be totally unprepared to compete in the world of work. They may be able to flip hamburgers but they may very well end up on food stamps and welfare.
Issues with the second amendment
Not once, but twice, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment prohibits Congress from taking away our guns. Our citizens have every right to protect themselves. That's the way it has always been. That's the way it should be. It is a perfectly legitimate right.

We've heard about a purported 'Bury Brigade' on Digg time and again, with sketchy pieces of evidence here and there but no concrete proof. Until now.
The Digg.com FAQ describes the 'Bury Story' feature as,
Stories can also be removed by users with the 'Bury Story' feature within digg. Once a story receives enough 'buries' it is automatically removed from the digg Upcoming or Popular sections. The number of reports required to bury is based on a sliding scale that takes several factors into consideration (such as number of diggs, reports, time of day, topic submitted to, etc.).
While that system is supposed to be used to remove superfluous or irrelevant content from Digg, the mechanism is often abused to remove useful and insightful content by malicious users for self-serving and vindictive reasons. My observations are based on data collected by David using a mechanism that he tried to explain to me via email. You can get this data by using the Digg Spy JSON Array:
The Digg Spy Array (set max items to any number)
This will give you the results in the following manner:

By collecting all the data just for reports, you can create an output that looks like this:
You can see which user did the burying, on what story, and on what basis. By looking at just some of the data, you can get quite conclusive hard evidence that not only does the bury brigade exist, but it is hard at work burying any content that doesn't suit its ideology. Here are some examples:
Burying Sony
undefined burried Sony slashes prices on Blu-ray player (Spam)
adm58 burried Sony slashes prices on Blu-ray player (Spam)
glenjammin burried PS3 price is right: Sony Australia – Or Sony Ripoff (Spam)
Burying Microsoft
xoineg burried 3d Photo Viewer by Microsoft (Inaccurate)
phinnfort burried 3d Photo Viewer by Microsoft (Spam)
adm58 burried How to resize a partition in Windows Vista (Spam)
I have looked at the outbound links and none of them seem spammy to me. The only thing that stands out about them is that the first set has to do with Sony and the second set has to do with Microsoft. And surprise surprise, adm58 is burying front-page stories about Microsoft/Sony as spam. Shame on you!
Have a look at the data for yourself and catch yourself a genuine 'Bury Brigade' member today!
I just wanted to thank all of you for commenting on this article. Many of you have expressed a concern with the lack of data in this article and so I have made all the data available on the site. It has been cleaned up and presented several different ways so that you can perform your on analysis on it and come to your own conclusions.
If you do make use of this data, please let me know so I can look at it. Furthermore, if you are interested in collaborating, please let me know, and I will be glad to help in any way I can.
The data is also available is CSV form. All you have to do to get it is ask.
Many thanks to [Chris Finke](http://www.efinke.com/) for helping me with the data cleaning and sorting.

Joseph Heller-Catch 22
Only by living absurdly is it possible to break out of this infinite absurdity.

All the talk of Joe Lansdale made me check out Edge of Dark Water. Landsdales book are great in that they are really easy reads and have enough twists and turns, and described so well that theyre almost a pleasure to read. I cant help but think Lansdale is probably about as liked in East Texas as Steinbeck was in Salinas back in the day.
Also reading this....
Its an interesting take by an obviously talented writer but he is literally telling the Dylan story in such a way where it shouldnt be called a biography at all. It goes into some historical details that almost get muddled and watered down in the authors fondness for wordplay and slice of life nostalgia....almost like a sociology professor writing it.

When I first started this book, I would look at my progress and see 5,10,15 percent done and I remember thinking it was going to take forever to finish this book. That changed to seeing 50 percent done and thinking I didn't want the story to end. As JD mentioned a few pages back, the character development was terrific and the description of the various settings made you feel that SK had done the time travel himself to research this book. This title has shot straight to the top of my favorite list and although I've never re-read a book, this might change that.

I read Dark Tower 4.5, which features a story within a story within a story.
The innermost story, about a young boy who is a new character but similar enough to Jake, is a great story that fits very much with the fantastical style of the Dark Tower series, although it takes a while to get started and is a little cliche at that beginning. The outer stories are much shorter and focus on Roland, one with the ka-tet of the main story, and one when he was just starting out as a gunslinger. Stephen King is more than welcome to add to the series again.
I have Under The Dome and probably should put that higher in my queue with the miniseries coming out in the summer. Currently reading Elmore Leonard's Raylan.
May be a bit too apologetic for some people, but it provides some interesting insights into the Medellin cartel.
Meh...I'm not a financially minded guy, and I didn't learn much from this book. If anything, it confirmed that my finances are well in order and moving in the right direction long term. It would be good guide for anyone living paycheck to paycheck that has no idea how to begin building financial stability though.
If Hunger Games was made into a movie, Divergent is being made a movie....this will most likely become a movie..
A hundred pages or so in and it's definitely slower than the first book, it's mostly politics.

Montgomery County businesses and nonprofits will have to pay as much as $14,000 per year to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay starting July 1, but the county and state won't have to pay the fee on their government buildings, which account for millions of square feet.
The Water Quality Protection Charge -- decried as a "rain tax" by opponents -- will be charged to property owners based on how much of their property consists of impervious materials like concrete or pavement that rain can't pass through. Residential property owners have paid it since the state General Assembly passed a law in 2012 to put Maryland in compliance with an Environmental Protection Agency mandate. Montgomery County voted last week to extend the fee to nonresidential properties -- except for government buildings.
"There's a historical exemption for state bodies and local jurisdictions because of separation of powers," said Samantha Kappalman, a spokeswoman for the Maryland Department of the Environment.
"It's been long-running that there's a state exemption from local fees."
Statewide, there is about 66.7 million square feet of impervious property owned by the state and the University System of Maryland that doesn't have to pay the stormwater fee, according to a spokesman for the Department of General Services. The 2012 law let local governments set their own fees instead of imposing a uniform statewide fee. The fee is meant to fund facilities to clean pollution out of stormwater -- water that flows back through residents' faucets or into the unhealthy Chesapeake Bay. The bill didn't make an exemption for the federal government.
Kappalman said some state agencies were still "leading by example" and managing their own stormwater instead of leaving it to counties.
For example, Maryland Department of Transportation spokeswoman Erin Henson said the agency has its own stormwater treatment facilities and pays local fees -- such as for the Maryland State Highway Administration's headquarters in Baltimore -- in jurisdictions where it doesn't.
However, that's not enough for anti-tax activists who say the exemption is inherently unfair to taxpayers.
"This unfunded mandate is proving how dysfunctional government is, and placing all the responsibility on property owners isn't fair," said Americans for Prosperity-Maryland Grassroots Director Nick Loffer. "It's time for government to respect taxpayers by thinking these things out."
In Montgomery County, there is a total of about 266 million square feet of impervious property, not including county-owned buildings. A county spokeswoman said the number of square feet owned by the county hadn't been calculated because the county doesn't have to pay the fee.

"Wake the Devil!"
Commemorating 20 years of Hellboy's capers, Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present the B.P.R.D.'s greatest paranormal investigator with the Mike Mignola Hellboy Premium Format(TM) Figure.
Summoned in close collaboration with the famed creator, this original composition delightfully echoes Mignola's familiar aesthetic and popular comic artwork with chiseled features, a high-contrast paint technique and recurring esoteric themes incorporated throughout.
Hellboy stands 23" tall atop a tombstone base, decked out in hand-tailored fabric black shorts, removable trenchcoat, and belt with a few of his token mementos. Preparing to stave off things that go bump in the night, the wisecracking and good-natured demon is armed with sword and trusty Samaritan, ready to punch through monsters, miscreants and anything in-between with his Right Hand of Doom. Interchangeable portraits offer two distinct looks for the unwilling harbinger of the Apocalypse; display Hellboy with his filed stumps, or as the fiery long-horned Anung Un Rama with crown in this definitive piece for fans of Hellboy and Mike Mignola alike.
The Hellboy Premium Format Figure measures approximately 23" H (584.2mm) x 12" W (304.8mm) x 13" L (330.2mm).

There's a new fascination with mobile apps. Thanks to an Israeli company called Conduit Mobile, or CoMo, you forget programmers and build your very own app yourself.
Ronen Shilo is the founder and CEO of CoMo. He says the company now powers more than 600,000 apps worldwide, with more than 3,500 new ones being created each day. 70 percent of all those are being built by small businesses, particularly interesting because this just happens to be national small business week.
Branding expert Adam Hanft says CoMo is changing the mobile app landscape. The company also helps put you in touch with Google and Apple, all part of its marketing arm.
Hanft says a small business can make an app that helps build a following, which could be crucial to success in business these days.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Spokane Regional Health District's six offices that are dedicated to its Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program will remain open in light of the federal government shutdown.
WIC vouchers will still be issued and existing vouchers will still be good for use. WIC has supplemental budget dollars that can be "spent-forward" if the shutdown doesn't go on for too long.

Vita Coco Coconut Water - 11.1 oz. - 12ct.
by Vita Coco | Item #: 344070 | (2) |
Vita Coco's an all-natural, super-hydrating, fat-free, cholesterol-free, nutrient-packed, potassium-stacked, mega-electrolyte coconut water
While other beverages claim to be the before, during, and after sports hydrator, we don't. Sure, Vita Coco is stacked with potassium, and is as natural as natural gets (some say it's like putting a straw in a coconut). Vita Coco is about hydration. And hydration is important no matter what you do. It's okay if you're not a marathon runner, a football player or a Tour de France winner. Life is hectic enough, and you should be hydrated while you live it. Go ahead, get hydrated and remember that life is a sport.

While the R/T trim has skipped the 2011 Avenger line-up (customers had the possibility to choose from Express, Mainstreet, Heat, and LUX versions), the famous version will be back for 2012. The new Avenger R/T will make its world debut at the 2011 New York International Auto Show in just two days.
"The Avenger R/T makes driving a mid-size car a really fun, engaging experience," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO, Dodge Brand — Chrysler Group LLC. "The Avenger R/T offers performance design cues both inside and out, as well as unique handling characteristics and a sport-tuned suspension. It's a vehicle that is ready to earn its stripes as part of the Dodge performance family of vehicles."
While the engine will remain untouched - a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 -, the R/T version will get an updated suspension and an improved exterior and interior that will give the impression of a much sportier vehicle.
Hit the jump to read more about the 2012 Dodge Avenger R/T.
Exterior and Interior
The new R/T model will be distinguished by the rest of the Avenger vehicles by a sportier look that includes a unique body-color grille with the Dodge badge, menacing black headlamp background, the "war paint" R/T decal on the front quarter panel, a rear spoiler, the R/T badge, and a new set of 18" aluminum wheels.
The interior will continue the same design language as the exterior. The front seats will get "R/T" graphics stitched in red on the front headrests, distinctive Aunde fabric with Z stripe fabric inserts, red stitching, and aggressive leather-trimmed bolsters. The steering wheel will also be wrapped in perforated leather with red accent stitching. The cockpit will be very distinctive compared to other Avenger models: it features a unique gauge cluster with a center-mounted tachometer with the "R/T" graphic and SRT-inspired brake and accelerator pedal pads.
Under the hood, Dodge has kept the usual 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that delivers a total of 283 HP and, when mated to a six-speed automatic transaxle, gets an EPA fuel economy rating of 19 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
This, however, doesn't mean that the R/T will be similar to the other Avenger models. Dodge has tuned the suspension in order to increased roll stiffness by 18% and spring rates by 17% in the front and more than 12% in the rear. Front strut damping rates are increased by 15%, rear strut damping rates are increased almost 20%, and the rear stabilizer bar diameter is 2 mm larger, increased from 19 mm to 21 mm.
Dodge hasn't said a word about the car's prices just yet, but we should have more details closer to its official market launch.
The fact that Dodge will reveal the 2012 Avenger R/T at the New York Auto Show is not random. One of the car's competitors - the new generation Chevrolet Malibu - will also be making its world debut around the same time, but on another continent at the Shanghai Auto Show. And while Chevrolet has yet to offer full details on the car, the Avenger should have plenty of reasons to fear as the new Malibu seems to be better than ever. It features a far improved design and will be offered with a wide range of fuel-efficient and powerful four-cylinder engines.
- Simply looks great in silver
- Sportier presence
- Improved suspension
- A more powerful engine would have made all the difference

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - After losing money for three years, a Milwaukee mortgage insurer made an unexpected profit for the second quarter in a row.
MGIC Investment Corporation Wednesday announced a net income of just over $12 million from July through September. That comes out to around four cents a share, after Wall Street analysts predicted a loss of 13 cents for the past quarter.
MGIC lost $247 million in the same quarter of 2012, or $1.22 per share. Three months ago, MGIC reported its first quarterly profit in three years.
The company provides insurance to mortgage lenders -- and the Great Recession forced MGIC to pay huge numbers of claims for houses that went into foreclosure.
CEO Curt Culver says the improving economy has been a huge help to his firm.
MGIC still lost money for the first nine months of 2013. The loss totaled around $48 million -- much smaller than the $540 million loss MGIC had in January through September of last year.

411 Games Top 5 10.4.12: The Top 5 Survival Horror Games
Posted by
Sean Garmer
on 10.04.2012
From Dead Space, Onimusha and Dead Island to the Resident Evil franchise, Sweet Home and more, the 411 staff breaks down their top 5 survival horror games of all-time!
Hello everyone, I hope it has been a good week for all the readers out there, oh the horror!
Gavin Napier (Writer of This is the End(ing)
Sweet Home
: All this little gem from the NES did was inspire Resident Evil. It had multiple endings, puzzles, combat, all sorts of things that would make their way into the RE franchise. Considering the fact that the game was working with 8-bit graphics and midi files, the fact that a genuinely scary atmosphere was attained is a testament to Nintendo and to the game's designers.
Dino Crisis
: Take gameplay inspired by Resident Evil (which never really tickled my fancy as a series), focus on atmosphere over combat, and add some dinosaurs. Including a T-Rex or two. At first glance, it doesn't sound scary, but if you've ever watched Jurassic Park, then you know that the sense of dread and panic can be very real when you allow yourself to be immersed in the story. If you've never played this one, I highly recommend looking it up asap.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
: Just like reading a comic book with Deadpool in it, this game is all about breaking the fourth wall. It's one thing to create an atmosphere that makes you uneasy and twitchy because you think your character is about to die. A game that tells you that it's deleting all of your save files? Ignoring controller input? Well, that's a whole different breed. Nintendo did an excellent job with this, and it's unfortunate that we'll likely never see a sequel to it.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
: I don't own a Wii, so I had to play this one in bits and pieces at a friend's house. I initially had some issues adjusting to the Wii-mote controls, but caught on soon enough. Shattered Memories does an excellent job of using the Wii-motes without making them gimmicky. As with most Silent Hill games, the story is tightly woven and full of psychological taunts, teases, and tortures. The icing on the cake is the fact that if you answer questions throughout the game honestly according to your personality, you'll receive a frighteningly accurate psychometric profile at the end of the game. Enjoy that.
Silent Hill 2
: Because Pyramid Head. That's why. I've played my fair share of survival horror games, and I always appreciate the ones that can give you a legitimate scare or that uneasy feeling that usually only comes from reading H.P. Lovecraft stories. Silent Hill 2 was such an upgrade graphically from the original Silent Hill that it produced plenty of uneasy moments even if the game itself wasn't overly challenging. This one was all about the story and the experience. The fact that in over 25 years of gaming Pyramid Head's first pursuit remains one of the most vivid memories of my gaming life is a testament to how well this game was put together. Number one with a bullet for me. Or number one with a board with a nail in it, if you prefer.
Lee Jones (Reader Voice)
5 - Dino Crisis - It's got dinosaurs, I love dinosaurs. Wouldn't a dinosaur be scary in real life? And so of course the best game made (for it's time) involving dinos makes my list.
4 - Resident Evil - The first genuinely scary game I ever played. Even it's loading times just added to the tension.
3 - Resident Evil 4 - Is it a better game than the 2 above it... yeah probably, but it focuses less on scary than spectacle. Still its the game the reinvented the genre so deserves recognition.
2 - Resident Evil 3: Nemesis - Since I recently put Nemesis as my top baddie ever of course this would be near the top. Focusing on 1 single scary monster was genius.
1 - Dead Space - Well that sure was alot of RE games for my list, this is the game that passes them all for me, if the series wasn't also sarting to focus less on scares and more on spectacle (oh how the 'masses' hurt us) then I'd be calling it the future of horror games. It did however give us my top pick. Great atmosphere, great setting, some neat game mechanics, cool weapons and.... actual scares. Highly recommend this game.
Marc Morrison (Games Zone Reviewer)
Honorable Mention
Deadly Premonition – It's not a very good game, but damn if it doesn't have heart, and try to be as crazy as possible.
Dead Island
-- Dead Island kind of falls apart at the halfway point, but is still a game worthy of a look at. The idea of you being stuck on an island full of zombies is good, and the combat/loot aspects were fun. It's when the game forces you to go through the sewers is the downfall of the game. Still, it's an interesting game to check out, especially with some friends.
Resident Evil 2
-- While it is archaic from today's gaming standards, RE2 was the one RE game that really blew me away. Better environments, more weapons, and a greater soundtrack made it my favorite RE game (of the pre RE4 "reboot"). People like RE4 and it's fine, but all the QTE's drag it down for me, and the series just continues to go in that direction, much to its detriment.
Bioshock 1
-- Some may not consider this game to be survival horror, but I think it still fits into the genre. While you aren't as weak as in other SH games, there are still plenty of scares and creepy things going on. Add in the twists that occur in the game, alongside some of the really brilliantly designed enemies and locations, and you'll appreciate how Bioshock fits into the mold quite well.
The Walking Dead
-- I'm not a huge fan of adventure games, but the Walking Dead has me glued to my computer, the minute a new episode is released. The game makes zombies scary, but the real evil comes from what desperate people do during desperate times. Plus, it's the first game ever (to me, anyway), to have a kid/escort character that isn't completely annoying.
Alan Wake
-- I actually think Alan Wake is the best game Remedy has done (better than both Max Payne games). The game is structured to be devoured in quick sessions, to let you process and think about what happened. While the game isn't incredibly difficult, there are some elements that are very challenging, and make the game tense. When you're trying to frantically start a generator, while 3 guys are coming at you, and you only have a sliver of health left, nothing got me as amped up as Alan Wake. As a final thought, it also contained some Poets of the Fall songs that fit in perfectly into the game:
Francisco Ramirez
Honorable Mentions
Eternal Darkness/ Amnesia: The Dark Descent: Confession, I've never played them.
- I might be cheating a bit here, but Onimusha featured a sword wielding samurai against evil Japanese demons. Gone were the guns, and in its place were swords, bows and magic. This led to a feeling of an action heavy Resident Evil. Puzzles were plenty, and you still had to manage your inventory, the only thing is you didn't have to fear about running out of bullets.
Parasite Eve
- Merging a survival horror and a JRPG might be a bit insane to say the least but Square Enix pulled it off. Sure the controls weren't the best in the world, but the story was great, and that feeling of uncertainty as you head into a new area was present. Did you have the right equipment, how bad would the villains in this area be? A JRPG Survival Horror game, Square took a risk and three sequels later it had obviously worked.
Resident Evil 4
- Capcom completely overhauled the RE series with this iteration and it paid off. Gone were the crappy controls and fixed cameras. Instead of zombies we had las plagas and a heavy emphasis on action. Until I finish RE 6, this is easily my favorite game in the series.
Fatal Frame
- Exorcising ghosts with a camera, sounds stupid doesn't it? Well, it worked, and it was fun. Fatal Frame, arguably has the best story in a survival horror game. Ghosts run rampant, yet there is a reason and a backstory to them. A tale of sacrifice and hatred, a true horror gem.
Silent Hill 2
- I think universally this game is accepted as the best survival horror game out there. Who am I to disagree, Pyramidhead made his debut here and the scene between Pyramidhead and the nurses is still disturbing today. James search for his wife and the inevitable realization of what truly happened stands out leaps and bounds over any zombie infestation.

I'm off to Atlanta this weekend. Here are my picks for the NFC playoff games ...
I'm off to Atlanta this weekend. Here are my picks for the NFC playoff games ...
Green Bay Packers 31, San Francisco 49ers 24 – I still admire Jim Harbaugh for what I think is the gutsiest coaching decision I've seen in years, benching Alex Smith and switching to Colin Kaepernick midway through the season. He's been good and this 49ers team has everything else – a strong rushing attack, a strong defense. But is there any one more locked in right now than Aaron Rodgers? I know they lost in the regular-season finale to the Vikings, but they beat them in the playoffs, barely breaking a sweat. Rodgers has the same look in his eye (and in the offense) that he did in 2010. The 49ers' defense is good, though they did give up 34 points to New England and 42 to Seattle in back-to-back games just three weeks ago. So they are vulnerable. To me that puts the game in Rodgers' hands, and he'll win a dual with Kaepernick any day. Atlanta Falcons 27, Seattle Seahawks 17 -- Nate Silver, the stat guy who perfectly called the presidential election, predicts the Seahawks will go to the Super Bowl. So do Gil Brandt, my SiriusXM NFL Radio colleague who went 4-0 with his picks in the first round. But I don't buy it. I know the Falcons bombed in the playoffs each of the last two years, but I think they have too many weapons to do it three years in a row. The Seattle defense has been tremendous and they may have the corners to handle Julio Jones and Roddy White, but when you add in Tony Gonzalez and Michael Turner and so many other secondary weapons, it's just too much. Plus, the Seahawks are a different team on the road and they're making their second cross-country trip in the last two weeks. This will be the Falcons' coming out party and they are ready for the Big Show.
