Inside, a branded entertainment project starring Emmy Rossum and co-funded by Intel and Toshiba, debuts today at 2pm EST. As we noted earlier this month, the tech brands have joined forces for The Inside Experience, a crowdsourced hybrid of film and social media that riffs on the iconic "Intel Inside" tagline — collaborating not only with each, but with the audience.
The plot: A young woman, Christina, played by Rossum is trapped in a room with only a Toshiba Satellite P775 laptop - powered by a second-generation Intel chip, and an undetectable Internet connection. The character must rely on her social network to deduce her location and plan her escape. That's where the social web kicks in, starting today.Continue reading...

A new alliance between Target and The Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, proves once more that all things old are new again…or in this case, Vintage Varsity, as Target's back-to-school fall fashion collection is called, with the tagline: "Cool Never Fades."
Many of the designs, licensed by the museum to Target, are not available anywhere else in the world.Continue reading...

Pepsi has partnered with Foursquare to globalize the badge concept as part of its "Summer Time is Pepsi Time" campaign — you know, the one that has fun with "Coke's" Santa. Now, Foursquare check-ins are encouraging fans to unlock Pepsi's summer fun.
This isn't Pepsi's first partnership with Foursquare, as they first teamed for charity in December 2009, with a Christmas pledge drive to donate 4 cents to CampInteractive for New York-based check-ins.
This new campaign, which officially launched July 4th weekend, takes the action to designated locations including beaches, pools, parks, ballparks and stadia. Check-in at any three venues earns users badges and qualification for sweepstakes prizes.Continue reading...

Fashion collaborations have produced some odd bedfellows before, but none that intrigue our inner child—while befuddling our outer grown-up—like the projects of Walt Disney Signature, Disney's adult lifestyle consumer products brand extension.
Working with high-profile design talents in art, home and fashion design, the brand has produced a series of unlikely products, from Italian armchairs with a TRON: Legacy motif to $1,000 pavé diamond "dinosaur" bracelets inspired by Fantasia.
The latest Disney collaboration to set fashionistas abuzz is the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides collection from hip accessory label Hayden-Harnett. It seems an offbeat choice for the Brooklyn-based business, which is better known for It bags and retro rags than for swashbuckling style.Continue reading...

A mother's sanity for the cost of a gym membership
I have been a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) for nearly three years. After going back to work between my two pregnancies, I decided to take an extended leave following the birth of my daughter so that I could focus on my children in their early years and allow for a more manageable family agenda. I do work as a yoga teacher and a freelance writer on the side, but those activities are inserted into various slots of "free" time (usually evenings and weekends when Father Miser is around for a game of tag-parenting), rather than during a regular schedule.
In the beginning, parenthood was navigated by sheer survival instincts. I didn't sleep, someone always needing something from me, I could not go to the bathroom alone, there was barely enough coffee to keep me going, and never enough time. After years of trying to master the balancing act (my children are only 20 months apart), it seems I am getting the hang of it…just in time for things to change.
My older child is now in school full-time, leaving me at home with my youngest who is enrolled in preschool two mornings per week to allow for social integration (and to give mom a break, let's be clear). I am enjoying more time to myself, but still I am left wanting more. A very wise person once told me that if you are left always wanting more, then you are not getting enough.
To my delight, my daughter is quite independent. But while she loves to entertain herself with make-believe play, I am left to watch and marvel over just how unstimulated I have become. She no longer wants me around every minute. So, I made a big lifestyle choice – I joined a gym!
I never thought I would be that SAHM. You know, the one who meets her friends for lunch every day and goes to the gym while someone else watches her children. I thought that role was reserved for the very rich. However, as with everything, I realized it became a matter of prioritizing my sanity. After reviewing our financial commitments, we decided we could afford this expense until I went back to work. In return, I agreed to forego a few nice-to-haves in exchange. The choice has saved me as a parent and as a wife.
Now I have the opportunity to drop my daughter off at the child-minding playroom while I go to a yoga class, enjoy the pool, or the various equipment throughout the facility. I have one or two hours completely to myself and afterwards, I feel ready to handle anything the day (or my daughter) has to throw at me. If she doesn't want to nap, no problem! I am no longer feeling desperate for my own space. I have become more patient, more happy and more involved. The best is that my daughter loves the playroom. The other day I came back early thinking it would take her a few visits to adjust to the new surroundings; instead, she literally shouted at me to leave her for longer so I enjoyed a long hot shower and blow-dried my hair – what a luxury!
So while the cost of my membership is nothing to scoff at, my experience at the gym has proven to be priceless. Take care of yourself and you will be better able to take care of others. It's a shame I didn't make this connection earlier. I suppose it is better late than never.

Origin India Restaurant - Las Vegas
- c
- curiouscook Feb 12, 2009 06:24 PM
Has anyone been to Origin India Restaurant? They're on Paradise road across from the Hard Rock. I just heard them mentioned on NPR and went to their website. It looks like a fun place: cool decor, Indian food with some non-traditional twists. I'd love to hear any revues before I drop some hard earned cash.
Though we are not locals, we have dined there on several occasions and only one entree proved to be disappointing. I would suggest purchasing a restaurant.com certificate. Here are my notes:
04/07 I found a 2/1 coupon celebrating their first anniversary so we decided to give this restaurant, located in a small strip mall on Paradise Road, a try The owners have obviously spent considerable dollars on the interior. Our waiter served us papadum accompanied by tamarind and mint sauces. We decided to try the high end of the menu sharing orders of Jhinga Dum Sunerhri (queen prawns simmered in coconut milk, yogurt and a touch of cashew nut sauce) and Goshet Rajawri (boneless lamb cooked in spices, tomatoes, egg, yogurt and a cashew paste). Entrees included basmati rice, a choice of naan or paratha (we tried both) and lentil side dishes. This was probably the best Indian meal we have had in Las Vegas. (4.5 Forks out of 5)
09/07 We discovered this restaurant on our last trip and were anxious to see if it was as good as we remembered. Complimentary papadum was served with tamarind and mint dipping sauces shortly after we were presented with menus. The waiter convinced us to try the evening's special appetizer, a crepe made with corn, homemade cheese and potato which proved to be an excellent choice. Our first entrée was Murg chili milli kebab - tandori chicken marinated in Indian spices and accompanied by an East Asian sauce. The chicken was amazingly moist, tender and very flavor-ific. Our second entrée was Baingan dahiwala – roasted eggplant cooked with yogurt and onions in a cashew sauce. This dish was not as smooth textured as similar dishes served elsewhere, but was very tasty. Menu prices may initially seem high, but most entrees include a side salad, choice of naan or paratha, basmati rice and a lentil dipping sauce – we chose black. (4.5 Forks out of a possible 5)
12/07 We were served housemade papadum with mint and tamarind sauces followed by a complimentary sweet potato salad that managed to be both spicy and cooling. My wife ordered the lamb chop masala - small tender chops that had been cooked in masala sauce. My entrée was chicken makhani, aka butter chicken, - melt-in-your mouth pieces of chicken cooked in a creamy tomato sauce. Both entrees included basmati rice, a black lentil dipping sauce, naan and an unadorned salad. I signed up online for the restaurant's VIP club and used a 2/1 entrée coupon that was emailed to me shortly before we departed for this trip. (4.5 Forks)
12/07 We were the only customers this Saturday afternoon so I suspect luncheon hours may be curtailed in the future. We each ordered chicken kebab roll – grilled tandoor chicken wrapped in a Romali roll. Lunches include a choice of ice tea or soda, we chose the ice tea. The flavor was truly amazing, but the amount of food was more than we needed. The cost of the meal is net of a $10 coupon received after I provided feedback on our experience in September. (4.5 Forks)
12/07 We were served complimentary papadum with mint and tamarind sauces. Orders of chicken Chettinad - boneless thigh pieces cooked with pounded southern spices with a hint of coconut and lamb Rajwari - boneless lamb cooked with spices, tomatoes, yogurt and a touch of cashew. Both dishes included a vegetable dish, naan, rice and salad. We used a printable 2/1 coupon that had been emailed to members of the restaurant's VIP club. (4.5 Forks)
04/08 We were quickly seated and served house made papadum with mint and tamarind sauces. Our entrées were Fish Nigril – fish (sole/flounder) in a freshly prepared green sauce and Lamb Rajwari – boneless lamb cooked with Indian spices, tomatoes, yogurt and a taste of cashew. Our meals included a black lentil dipping sauce, basmati rice, a small unadorned salad and naan. For an extra fee we upgraded one portion to peshawari naan – stuffed with crushed nuts, raisins and cilantro. The peshawari naan was unbelievable, but we were disappointed by the quantity of fish in our entrée given the $21 menu price. We concluded the meal by ordering beet halwa for dessert which is prepared with grated beets, sugar, ghee, cashew nuts and cardamom powder – excellent. (3.5 Forks)
09/08 This restaurant continues to impress on many levels, not the least of which is the owner's willingness to improvise and update the menu. Raja, the owner, recognized my name on the reservation and came over to say hello. He also sent over an order of BBQ chicken, the evening's special appetizer, which was beautiful to both the eye and tongue. We were also served house made papadum with mint and tamarind sauces. Our shared entrees this evening were lamb raawali (boneless lamb with Indian spices, tomatoes, yogurt and a touch of cashew) and chicken Labrador (chicken delicately cooked in tomato gravy with a hint of coconut). The entrees were accompanied by a large bowl of black lentils, rice and Naan. Service throughout, as usual, was outstanding. I was able to use a free entrée coupon received for my birthday even though it expired a few months prior – thank you Raja! (4.5 Forks)
re: westie
Westie, thanks for your thorough review. Now, I can hardly wait to get over there and give it a try.
I think it's the best Indian restaurant in Las Vegas. Great tasting menus. Reading westie's post makes me want to go again, soon.
I have eaten at Origin India and it is fabulous! The food has so many flavors. It isn't your typical Indian restaurtant where you would expect to get a lot of curry. I mean their curry is awesome, but they have so many different things on the menu that anybody can find many things that they like. They also have really good vegetarian dishes, and I'm not a vegetarian. I heard about their Valentine's Day sensual special too and I'm thinking that is where we are going tomorrow night.
I am just amazed that I have not found this place until now. All of these golwing reviews, and my wife and I are big fans of Indian food. Granted we have a two year old and another on the way so we don't get out to eat nearly as often as we would like. If nothing else I will have to try and get over there for a lunch really soon.
re: andyeats
Everything in Vegas is in a strip mall...:-)
Actually, I have posted about this restaurant before..have eaten there two or three times and really enjoyed my meals. It is more upscale or even "fusion" Indian...but definitely worth a visit. Don't miss the beet halwa for desert....trust me on this one!
I have to admit that the Valentine's Day "sensual tasting menu" was intriguing. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm generally anti- eating out on Valentine's Day AND that we had a lovely dinner at LOS tonight (the 13th) with friends, I might have tried to talk DH into going.....
re: Steve Green
Another Las Vegas vacation, another dinner at Origin.
We were warmly greeted by Raja, the owner/manager, and his excellent wait staff. Raja told us the chef would like us to a sample a few menu items from their soon to be released new menu. We started off with papadum accompanied by tamarind and mint sauces which are always excellent. This was followed by panipuri, a popular street snack comprised of a round hollow "puri" fried crisp and filled with bits of meat, potato and greens balanced on a thin shot glass filled with tamarind, spices and sparkling water. This appetizer is designed to increase one's appetite as if Westie's needs stimulation.
Our next surprise was a tandoori sampler of lamb, chicken and shrimp with fresh sprouts. It was an amazing appetizer in terms of beauty, tenderness and flavor. We were asked how spicy would we like our entrees, I prefer spicy and Ann likes medium so we compromised and requested medium. – go figure. Next we were each served a large spoonful of a mango sorbet that was delicious without being overly sweet.
We again were the recipient of Raja's generosity when his bartender presented us with glasses of ginger ale made from fresh ginger and lime mixed with sparkling water. This proved to be an amazing complement to our entrees of chicken makahani (butter chicken) and lamb Rajwari. Our entrees included black lentils, naan, basmati rice and a small salad.
On exiting we went to the bar to complement the bartender and he gave us a small sample of his black cherry martini – wow! Should I ever end up on death row, this will probably be the last meal I request. 5 Forks (out of a possible 5)
re: westie
The new menu has finally been posted on the website. Entrees are now ala carte so the overall price of dining has been raised.

Found November 08, 2012 on Redlegs Review:
On Wednesday, Major League Baseball revealed its finalists for the major awards voted on by the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA). And two members of the Cincinnati Reds made the cut. Reds rookie Todd Frazier is among three vying for National League Rookie of the Year honors. His competitors are Arizona Diamondbacks hurler Wade Miley and Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper. The winner is slated to be announced next Monday (Nov. 12). Frazier batted .273 with 19 homers and 67 RBI during his first season in the majors. He was recently recognized by his peers as the NL's top rookie for 2012, which is voted on by the MLB Players Association. Also in the hunt for a major award is manager Dusty Baker. He along with Washington's Davey Johnson and San Francisco's Bruch Bochy are among the candidates looking to win NL Manager of the Year. That honor will be announced next Tuesday (Nov. 13). Baker led the Redlegs to their second division title ...

Gambling has evolved from the Las Vegas strip and casino's around the world to people now playing casino games and placing bets from the comfort of their own home via online casino's and sportsbooks. In many cases online slots websites try to replicate the experience of visiting a physical casino with the use of live dealers, sounds and classic games, such as Cleopatra online slots. Online slots are some of the most popular games found in online casino's alongside other classic games, such as roulette.
£/€/$88 Free
+ £1500
Welcome Package
100% up to $300
200% up to $300
100% up to $100
up to $200
Cleopatra online slots are often produced using either classic games or incorporating popular culture figures, such as movie characters to add interest to the online gambling games. One of the most famous online slots ever has now found itself to the online gambling world in the form of the Cleopatra online slots game; the classic game has been a staple of LAs Vegas casino's for decades and remains one of the most popular ever produced. Based on the ancient Egyptian Empress Cleopatra the online slots game uses music evoking life in ancient Egypt with the slot machine symbols made up of hieroglyphics, scarabs and Sphinx symbols. Jackpot's are won on Cleopatra online slots by finding three Sphinx symbols in a line and getting 15 free spins leading to jackpot winnings.
A new version of the classic Cleopatra online slots game has also been produced solely for the online gambling market and is only found on websites featuring online slots games. The game is seen as an improvement on the older version as it features up to 50 free spins bringing about a higher jackpot and more winnings available when three Sphinx symbols appear.
Cleopatra online slots is another of the world's most popular online slots casino games and features in live dealer and game options on most sites online casinos. Much like online slots games are usually available with he option of playing for fun without the fear of losing money as new players learn how to play the games. Online slot games are some of the easiest to learn on how to play on online slots gaming sites and can be picked up quickly whilst playing live for both fun and when live bets are placed.

As the act of giving is truly about thought and effort I try to hone in on Mom's...
In a play on Henry Ford's famous quote, "Any color as long as it's black" it is often said that Swedes like "any color as long as its blue." But there is so much more to the colors of Sweden than just a single hue. The colors and airy style of Swedish decorating have been strongly influenced by two styles: 18th-century neoclassical decor known as the Gustavian style and Swedish Country Style, which was strongly influenced by Carl...
So, you need a microwave. Believe it or not, siting this everyday appliance can be one of the biggest challenges in the kitchen design process. Finding easy and ergonomic access for a microwave AND an aesthetically pleasing location are sometimes at war with one another! When you want to heat up food quickly, it's likely you also want efficiency as part of the process. Conventional wisdom says that placing the microwave close to the refrigerator allows you to...
We recently headed to NYC to host an event for top editors from women's, family, and shelter magazines—Elle, Instyle, and Food Network Magazine to name a few. We recreated a 'house' whose rooms were filled with a wonderful selection of Wayfair's zillion things home. While we had these style-setters in hand, we asked them where they glean their inspirations to fill those glossy pages of their magazines. These delightful answers might surprise you (and...
I am suffering from Stendahl Syndrome. That rarest of maladies afflicting those who are simply overwhelmed by beauty. What has caused this condition? Could it be the four days of wandering three- square miles of glamorous showrooms in High Point, N.C., filled with the newest and most jaw-dropping home furnishings? The sensory overload of stroking (literally, I think) miles of luxurious fabrics? The eco-chic offerings that filled me with a sense of wonder at such...
Our houses are essentially boxes in boxes, so every room needs a few well-rounded curves to add softness and grace. Shapely furniture creates a visual break from the harsh geometric lines of walls and the sofas, beds, buffets, and chests that dominate your rooms. Curvilinear pieces can be problem solvers in tricky spots like corners or between a sofa and chair. In tight spaces (like a hallway) a demilune or half circle table saves space and...
Our goal for the next twelve months is to create a play space for Will. He's gotta help build it of course. He's two, now; learn to swing a hammer already, kid. One of the main reasons we bought a house with land is that we want our kids playing in the backyard, getting dirty, and realizing that there is more to life than the Disney Channel. Living out here in the country makes it...
My first middle school crush began with a note. "Do you like me? Circle YES or NO." I still have the note and came far too close to scanning it for your entertainment. When I saw my very cute crush in the halls, my heart raced to the tempo of my favorite 90s pop song and my cheeks flushed to a painfully obvious magenta. Sound familiar? As I grew older, I fine-tuned the art of...

I was watching Glee on my computer and I was watching "Furt"(the episode where Kurt's dad marries Finn's mom) and when they mentioned that they were going to Waikiki and were staying in the hotel that the LOST guest stars were staying in I immediately thought of Blake Bashoff and then i started laughing

WEDNESDAY, June 8 (HealthDay News) -- It has long been known
that getting enough vitamin D is key to bone health, yet vitamin D
deficiency remains a common health issue, experts say.
According to the Endocrine Society, very few foods naturally
contain or are fortified with vitamin D, and sunlight is one of the
best sources of the nutrient.
People who don't get enough vitamin D are at risk for calcium,
phosphorus and bone metabolism abnormalities, which can lead to a
number of diseases, including osteoporosis. Children with a vitamin
D deficiency can also develop skeletal deformities known as
rickets, the experts pointed out in a society news release.
"Vitamin D deficiency is very common in all age groups, and it is important that physicians and health-care providers have the best evidence-based recommendations for evaluating, treating and preventing vitamin D deficiency in patients at highest risk," Dr. Michael F. Holick, of Boston University School of Medicine, said in the news release. Holick chairs a task force that authored the society's new clinical practice guidelines published in the July issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
The Endocrine Society issued the guidelines in response to the
possible health risks associated with vitamin D deficiency. Among
the group's recommendations:
To maximize bone health and muscle function, people considered
at high risk for a deficiency should adhere to the following
guidelines for dietary intake of vitamin D:
The task force stressed that in order to raise the blood level
of vitamin D consistently above 30 nanograms per milliliter, a
significantly higher intake of vitamin D may be required. The group
also noted that vitamin D screening is not necessary for people who
are not considered at risk for the deficiency. And, it said there
is no evidence supporting use of vitamin D supplements for benefits
other than bone health.
More information
The U.S. Office of Dietary Supplements has more on
vitamin D.

TEAMS: New York Giants
New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck told ESPNNewYork.com that not having Osi Umenyiora anymore "is going to be a huge burden" going into next season. "Let Osi tell it, I'm going to have the best year of my life," Tuck said. "[But] you can never replace a guy like Osi," Tuck continued. "A lot of people don't understand how much of a help he is in the locker room and as a motivator. We always have worked together to try and polish our game. Losing him is going to be a huge burden." Tuck says he had a specific chemistry with Osi. "He's an All-Pro player," Tuck said. "You don't just go out to the market and pick out those. Plus, he's been here all of his career, all of my career. You get accustomed to knowing things that don't show up on tape, that don't show up in the play call. "There's a certain chemistry you have with guys knowing the situation in games what they're thinking," he added. "They know what you're thinking. That takes time. You have to build that back with whoever it is who's going to be in their place next year." Osi is a very good pass rusher, but he didn't have a great season in 2012 and is approaching his mid-30′s. It will be interesting to see what he can do down in Atlanta. Need NFL Tickets? var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); ref = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; _CI.counter = (_CI.counter) ? _CI.counter + 1 : 1; document.write(''); script.type = 'text/javascript'; var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); ref = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; _CI.counter = (_CI.counter) ? _CI.counter + 1 : 1; document.write(''); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.src = 'http://widget.crowdignite.com/widgets/27484?_ci_wid=_CI_widget_'+_CI.counter; script.async = true; ref.parentNode.insertBefore(script, ref); })();
Osi did not play well at all last year so I don't really feel not having him this year is gonna make much of a difference. Tuck just needs to step it up and so does Jason Piere Paul.

Perspective: The matter with voter registration | StAugustine.com
Voter turnout in the Florida primary was dismal this year — less than 20 percent statewide — despite the efforts of dozens of campaigns and hundreds of volunteers to get people to the polls. Other states saw a similarly small turnout.
Yet nationwide, the introduction of more restrictive voter laws is on the rise. This year, 41 states introduced more than 180 bills to limit early voting, require specific ID at the polls or throw new obstacles at those who organize voter-registration drives.
These measures — largely initiated by Republican-led legislatures — are aimed at disenfranchising the young, the poor and minorities, most of whom tend to be Democrats.

Certainly one of the most popular on-demand software applications of all time is Salesforce.com. Their "no installation" approach to software changed the CRM industry, and one of the features that made them even more popular was the ability for third parties to provide even more value via add-in applications.
One of these third party applications is Appirio, a Salesforce.com partner. Today they released Appirio Cloud Storage for Salesforce.com, which enables users of Salesforce to store more large documents and files via Salesforce.com's on-line user interface. Files stored in Appirio are safely tucked away using Amazon S3, which of course is a highly resilient and durable data store.
One of the most interesting aspects of Appirio's software from a technology point of view is that they are essentially creating a "mash up" of two clouds: Salesforce.com and Amazon Web Services. As I just mentioned, Salesforce.com users are able to simply upload case files, documents, contracts, log files, videos, etc. directly from the environment that they work in every day. Because Appirio supports files up to 1 GB in size, Salesforce users are no longer restricted by the default 5 MB upload limit. This eliminates the "where did I put it?" effect that so many organizations have, created by separate repositories for files--often behind a corporate firewall that road warriors can't access.
Behind the scenes Appirio is using Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 for storage. Which means, in the case of storage, that there is no upper limit on how many files can be stored in Appirio's environment.
There's another perspective on this over at the Appirio blog.
-- Mike

If you have questions regarding the event, click "Contact the Organizer" on the registration page. If you have questions regarding the registration site, click "Help Center" at the bottom of the page.
All CareerTech Summer Conference designated hotels will honor the conference rate for the CSI conference as well. Workshop attendees needing lodging will simply need to extend their reservation by one day.
Workshop Objectives:
a) Participants will leave with a strong understanding of the importance of continuous school improvement and the culture shift necessary to support the change.
b) Participants will exchange proven continuous improvement strategies for immediate implementation at the local level.
c) Participants will develop and/or strengthen a network for continuous school improvement.
d) Participants will embrace the renaissance of career & technology education.
The workshop will reinforce the key requirements and major processes that support Oklahoma CareerTech's strategic purposes. Please see the agenda for more details. Questions may be directed to LaMecia Stidham or Gina Hubbard.

the spirit of the times
It's Fun Friday!
Today, the final episode aired of the endlessly running soap, All My Children, which spawned so many stars and evil twins over the years. We salute its amazing legacy with a round of Six Degrees of Zeitgeist Separation!
All My Children may be best known for its star, the always-a-bridesmaid-and-only-once-an-Emmy-winner Susan Lucci who portrayed Erica Kane—who sparred* with Hayley Vaughan, played by then-newcomer Kelly Ripa, who years later…would co-host her co-eponymous morning talk show with Regis Philbin that would feature her as herself in….the 100th Episode of 30 Rock, co-staring Judah Friedlander, who….has a cameo as "Scrappy Zoolander" in, of course, Zoolander…model casting for which was done by none other than Jennifer Vendetti, the director of our coming of age documentary, Billy the Kid!
(*I say sparred but let's face it, I've seen half a dozen out of order episodes of the show between 1995 and 2003 while faking sick from school and waiting for The People's Court to start, so: did they spar? I just can't rightly say.)
Phew. We hope you have a very, very Fun Friday (no gasoline fights!) and a super terrific weekend.

Current Journal Research
Nuts Associate with Lower Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes
08/28/2014 Although once villainized, nuts have found popularity as a health food because of their healthy fats, fiber, and protein. This study found that having nuts in your diet may also decrease the risk of common chronic conditions.
Power Toothbrushes May Be More Effective Cleaners Than Manual Brushes
08/28/2014 There are many power toothbrush options now available but are they worth the investment? This study published in Cochrane Databases found that power toothbrushes may have the edge in cleaning teeth compared to manual toothbrushes.
Shoe Insoles Do Not Appear to Treat or Prevent Low Back Pain
07/20/2014 Shoe inserts are advertised as potentially helping a number of orthopedic issues but the most common and perhaps popular one is low back pain. Unfortunately, a study from Australia found that inserts were not helpful in decreasing low back pain.
Smoking May Drag Out Fracture Healing
06/27/2014 You've probably heard how smoking can affect your heart and lungs but your bones too? This randomized trial found that smokers had a greater risk of complications after a fracture than non-smokers.
Tai Chi May Improve Physical Function, Reduce Falls After Stroke
05/27/2014 A stroke can create muscle imbalances and weakness that increase risk of falls and lead to further injury and extended recovery time. Physical conditioning will help improve muscle strength and function which in turn reduces the risk for falls. This trial has found that Tai Chi may be an effective option.
Diverse Foods Early in Life Associated with Lower Rates of Asthma and Food Allergies
04/29/2014 Allergies and asthma are caused by an overreaction of the immune system believed to be caused by both genetic and environmental factors, perhaps factors that we come in contact early in life. This trial found that a greater variety of foods in the first year of life may be associated with lower risk of developing asthma or allergies.
Fruits and Vegetables Consumption Still Hold Up For Good Health
03/30/2014 Fruits and vegetables are encouraged as the cornerstone of a healthy diet in countries worldwide because of their rich nutrition values. This study completed in England shows that this nutrition may translate to greater health.
Positive Mental Health Changes Found After Smoking Cessation
02/20/2014 Most know the numerous physical benefits of quitting smoking but are reluctant to quit because they rely on their cigarettes for stress relief and decrease anxiety. However, a study, published in the British Medical Journal, found that those who quit had lower stress and anxiety levels than continued smokers.
Parent-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy May Help Children With Anxiety
01/20/2014 Anxiety in children can not only impact their current wellness but also increase their risk of future health problems. Fortunately, therapy can be very effective, in fact, researchers from England found that a parent-led behavioral therapy program was successful at helping children manage anxiety.

Ben Stein vs Richard Dawkins Interview Debate God
2 comments
Showsover May 6, 2011 5:13:55 AM CEST
Dawkins never actually say there is no god. He says that he doesn't believe there is a god. There's a huge difference. But just because Dawkins doesn't know the origins of existence and life doesn't mean that Stein's pet assertion is automatically correct.
Ghost32 August 18, 2010 9:45:57 PM CEST
I wanted to post this because I thought it very ironic that Richard Dawkins says god is so bad and doesnt exist yet when Ben Stein asks him how things were created and came about and Richard Dawkins says he doesnt know how it started nor does anyone else. But yet he can tell people that God doesnt exist, ect...

As most of you know, the Western Car Wash Association (WCA) has spent the past several months working with its members and industry regulators on the new surety bond increase which went into effect on January 1, 2014. The ONLY way to reduce the bond requirement is with the successful passage of a new bill in Sacramento and we need YOUR help. WCA is currently in the process of working with lawmakers and other stakeholders in Sacramento on a solution, but lawmakers need to understand the impact that the new increase has had on you and your businesses
Help Amend The Surety Bond Increase!
WCA is in a battle to amend AB 1387 that increased surety bonds by 1000% (by $135,000)! We are in a real battle to help reduce costs to your car wash – a lobby firm has been hired and we have met with labor groups, introducing new legislation. Unfortunately there is no free lunch – this process is costly! YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED – financially and personally if we are to win this battle! Donate Today!
Because of the drought emergency in California WCA is doing the following:
Visit the Environmental section of our website under Industry Information for additional resources. Be sure to have your log-in name and password available.
We are encouraging all of our members to share the resources with regulators and consumers. Be sure to keep the WCA office informed of your activities so we can assist where possible.

What Freddy Claesson brings to the Sens A through Z
Thursday, the Ottawa Senators officially confirmed the ill-kept secret of Fredrik Claesson signing his entry-level deal with the intention of playing in North America this fall. While the unspectacular stay-at-home defenseman might not be the most intriguing prospect in the Senators system, he might be a very useful one. Let me take you through all the reasons, A through Z.A AHL...

Fredrik Claesson Signs ELC
This is your obligatory Fredrik Claesson signed his entry level contract with the Ottawa Senators post. The Swedish defenceman was Ottawa's fifth round selection (126th overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and a teammate of Mika Zibanejad's on Djurgardens SEL team... or should I say former Swedish Elite League team? After 36 seasons of playing at the highest level of hockey...

The Possible Return Of The Mika
With the Swedish Elite League regular season drawing to a close Tuesday, an interesting question must be raised by Senators management. Mika Zibanejad's (and Fredrik Claesson's, obviously, but for the purpose of this debate, he doesn't really matter) Djurgården are finishing up a terrible year with games on Saturday and Tuesday, playing to avoid the dreaded relegation playoffs...

Sleep Apnea Health Center
Treating Women's Sleep Apnea May Lower Heart Death Risk
Studying the Benefits of CPAP Treatment in Women continued...
Women with 10 to 29 breathing interruptions per hour were classified as having mild to moderate sleep apnea. Those with 30 or more interruptions per hour were told they had severe sleep apnea. Women who scored less than 10 were considered not to have sleep apnea and were used for comparison.
Every patient with severe sleep apnea was offered treatment with a CPAP machine that uses a pressurized flow of air to hold breathing passages open during the night. Women with mild to moderate sleep apnea were offered CPAP if they reported being sleepy during the day.
Counters on the machines told the researchers how long the women were using them at night.
During the study, 41 patients died of heart-related causes, including heart attacks and strokes and from heart failure.
Researchers discovered that women with severe, untreated sleep apnea -- meaning they didn't use their CPAP machines, or used them for less than four hours a night -- had more than three times the risk of dying from a heart problem as women who didn't have sleep apnea.
That was true even after researchers accounted for other things that influence the risk of heart disease, including age, body weight, high blood pressure, diabetes, and previous heart attacks or strokes.
Women with severe sleep apnea who used a CPAP machine for at least four hours a night saw no increase in their risk of heart or stroke-related death, however. They had the same risk as women who didn't have sleep apnea.
"For patients with obstructive sleep apnea, adequate CPAP use is as important for their [heart] health as the pills they take for hypertension or diabetes," researcher Francisco Campos-Rodriguez, MD, from the department of respiratory medicine at Valme University Hospital in Seville, Spain, says in an email to WebMD.
The retail cost of a CPAP machine runs from $400 to $800, but insurance plans may pick up the tab if it's prescribed by a doctor.
Why Is Sleep Apnea Bad for the Heart?
Experts aren't entirely sure why sleep apnea is so bad for the heart, but they have some working theories.
"There are two pathways through which it can worsen health. The first is through low oxygen, the second is through the frequent arousals," says Pavlova.
But studies in animals have shown that interrupted breathing can lead to periods of low blood oxygen.
This low oxygen is thought to trigger the body's fight-or-flight response, which raises blood pressure in the lungs and makes blood clot more easily, increasing the risk for events like heart attacks and strokes.
A second problem is that the body has to fight to breathe once the airway gets blocked.
"As a result of the strain to breathe, there is a response from the body to wake up, to take a better breath," Pavlova says.

Mao was right power comes from the barrel of a loaded gun. We ought to listen to him and make sure we have one to deal with thugs!
It says something profound that while conservative men are eager to arm women left-lib men are terrified of the idea of armed women.
Boy, the anti-gun goobers were out in full force this past week giving us plebeians the down low on what we "need" to protect ourselves during everything from home invasions to rape situations. It was like listening to Obama talk about economics or Roseanne Barr gloss smoothly on the importance of Southern etiquette in marital conflicts.
I heard so much horse scat coming from the left last week regarding self-defense that I am now befuddled as to whom I should give my "Are You Blanking Kidding Me" award to. Damn you, tyranny of many options. Damn you!
