REVIEW: Logitech's Latest Keyboards and Mice
Washable, wireless and touchable
K310 Washable Keyboard
Recommended Retail Price: S$59
Connectivity: wired USB
Compatible devices: Windows
Award: International CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree
Chester Tan
The Logitech K310 is a durable keyboard that's easy to clean and dry. It can be submerged in approximately 30cm of water (more than any ordinary spillage) and has drainage holes at the back of the keyboard to allow for easy drying. Even after multiple washes, the characters on the keyboard would not fade as they are laser-printed and UV coated to ensure durability. The familiar layout of the F-keys and number pad are designed in a sleek manner, giving them a contemporary look that ensures your keyboard looks and feels good (to type). The K310 is really easy and handy to use as there is no software to install and allows you to access your 12 most-used applications with a single keystroke.
My review: There is no compromise with the K310. It contains the complete set of keys including number pad, and the key actions are responsive. I like how the key mechanism is elevated so there is no way any accidental liquid spills will get inside the keyboard. No mention about whether the keyboard can work underwater, though I suspect it could. Instructions clearly state that one should dry the keyboard before re-using.
One thing is for sure: with the K310, gone are the days of keyboards that accumulate dust and bacteria in between the key grooves. And no longer do you need to throw away a keyboard because it's dirty.
K400r Wireless Touch Keyboard
Recommended Retail Price: S$65
Connectivity: Wireless with Unifying USB receiver
Compatible devices: Windows, Android
Battery life: 12 months with power switch
Chester Tan
Product Information: The Logitech K400r lets you control your laptop without getting up from the couch thanks to the 10-metre (33-foot) wireless range. The large 3.5-inch Windows 8 compatible touchpad with multi-touch navigation makes vertical and horizontal scrolling intuitive. Setup is simple, too. You just plug the tiny Logitech Unifying receiver into a USB port – no software needed. The sleek, low-profile keys feel good and barely make a sound. And you can enjoy it all for up to a year without the hassle of changing batteries.
My review: My peers who bought the earlier K400 version (that does not support Windows 8 trackpad gestures) use it mainly when they hook up their laptop to the TV screen and then sit at a distance with just the keyboard and touchpad. Sad to say, the key actions are poor especially the space bar which you must hit on the centre of the bar. The keyboard layout is also cramped and so it is not possible for me to type accurately and fast.
The 3.5-inch trackpad contains all the usual gestures for Windows 8, like swipe from edge, scroll, zoom, and also has shortcut buttons for for the 4 "charm" actions. But do be careful of your right little finger, as it might touch the trackpad and move your cursor.
Despite the above unfavourable comments, this is one keyboard that you should get if you are operating Android-based TV boxes with USB port. I tried it on my "no-brand" TV Box, inserted the Unifying USB receiver to the USB port, and the keyboard works instantly. Most shortcut buttons works, like volume, playback controls, "home" button, and even the on-off button. The trackpad also works beautifully, including 2-finger swipe gestures.
In short, the K400r is best used as a single-unit keyboard-trackpad to operate your Windows or Android devices in a comfortable laid-back setting. And for the price, it will serve its target segment well.
Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Windows 8, Windows RT and Android 3.0+
Recommended Retail Price: S$95
Connectivity: Bluetooth
Compatible devices: Windows, Android, iOS
Chester Tan
The Logitech Tablet Keyboard is a lightweight, combo keyboard and stand that travels easily, sets up quickly and does double-duty. Its carrying case protects against damage while you're traveling and converts into a sturdy stand for your Windows 8 or Android tablet. And the keyboard pairs easily with your tablet over Bluetooth wireless so you can use it at your desk, on your lap or within 30 feet of your device.
My Review: This keyboard is made for lugging around, thanks to the convertible hard-case premium sleeve that can be folded as a sturdy stand for large tablets. The sleeve exterior is leather-wrapped and its interior is fabric-laden, offering good protection for your pricey investment. It runs on 4 AAA batteries.
Keyboard action is good and firm, and there are ample shortcut keys that work with Windows and Android devices. For instance, the 4 Windows 8 "charms" actions, Android's 3 soft keys, music playback and volume buttons. Though it has only 5 rows of keys, you can invoke F1-12 with the "Fn" key. You can also connect the keyboard to a Macbook but some function keys might not work.
While there are many low-priced Bluetooth keyboards in the market, the Logitech Tablet Keyboard connects to your device a lot faster, the keys feel better, the build is better, and it comes with a useful hard case. Highly recommended and in my to-buy list.
K810 Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard
Recommended Retail Price: S$169
Connectivity: Bluetooth
Compatible devices: Windows, Android, iOS
Battery life: 10 days with backlight, 1 year without backlight. Built-in battery rechargeable via micro USB.
Award: International CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree
Chester Tan
Product Information: The Logitech K810 makes multi-tasking easy with one-touch switching among devices such as your PC, ultrabook, tablet or smartphone, regardless of the platform. Its keys are backlit with bright illumination that automatically adjusts to light levels, and its built-in sensors detect your hands' approach, turning the illumination on or off accordingly. Recharging the keyboard is made simple by plugging in the USB cable, and you can even recharge it while you type. Its real brushed-aluminum design and minimalist size will fit both your style and your desk space.
My review: A beautifully crafted product, the K810 offers a convenient solution to a multi-device problem. With one single keyboard, you can pair 3 Bluetooth devices and use the same keyboard with all the devices. Pairing is fast: just press the "Connect" button behind the K810 and press one of the 3 Bluetooth device buttons. I can even pair to a generic Bluetooth 2.0 USB dongle plugged to my laptop. Switching among the paired Bluetooth devices is rather fast, the keyboard size is just nice for me, and the keyboard action feels firm and responsive, though a tad harder than the normal keyboards.
In reality, having one keyboard to use for multiple devices might not be a good idea. As I found out myself, I often forget to switch the Bluetooth connection and end up typing on the wrong device. And among the new Logitech keyboards I have tested, the K810 contains the least OS-dedicated shortcut keys and alternative FN keys. For instance, there are no "Home", "Pg Up", "Pg Down", context menu (right-click) keys.
Between the Logitech Tablet Keyboard ($95) and the K810 Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard ($169), my vote goes to the Logitech Tablet Keyboard because it is more affordable and better-value with an extra case accessory that comes in handy to use on the go. The K810 feels more premium thanks to its gorgeous backlit keys, and caters to home-use consumers who prefer fewer devices on their work desks.
T400 Zone Touch Mouse
Recommended Retail Price: S$59
Connectivity: Wireless with Unifying USB receiver
Compatible devices: all Windows OS
Battery life: 18 months with power switch and battery indicator
Award: International CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree
Chester Tan
Press Information: The Logitech T400 is a comfortable hybrid mouse that supports Windows 8 navigation with a touch zone and traditional mouse buttons. Scroll horizontally and vertically through Windows 8 with simple, intuitive swipes of your finger, and quickly access all of your favorite apps in the Windows 8 Start screen with a simple click on the touch-zone. You can enjoy up to 18 months of battery life, and with a built-in battery status indicator, you'll never be caught without power.
My review: Once you plug the Unifying USB Receiver into a Windows 8 computer, the Logitech SetPoint software will be installed automatically to enable the gestures on the mouse. For older Windows, you would need to install the software manually, which is highly recommended. Once installed, you can configure the T400 to conveniently access the Start Screen and switch applications by clicking the designated zone on the mouse. The touch zone replaces the mechanical scroll wheel and lets you scroll your screen by sliding your fingers up-down or left-right. It also supports zooming by tapping (not clicking) the zone.
The mouse buttons give out a dampened click sound unlike generic mice and is therefore less annoying. I like the rubber texture at the sides of the mouse as it gives me more grip. The mouse is not completely compatible with Mac OS: only the left button, right button and zone touch scroll actions are supported.
T620 Touch Mouse
Recommended Retail Price: S$89
Connectivity: Wireless with Unifying USB receiver
Compatible devices: all Windows OS
Battery life: 6 months
Chester Tan
Press Information: The Logitech T620 is an ultra-sleek and comfortable mouse with a full touch surface designed for natural, fluid navigation through Windows 8. Move through your favorite screens and apps with intuitive scrolling and swiping, making navigation as smooth as on your smartphone. The mouse's rounded shape lets your hand rest at ease for hours while you enjoy precise cursor movement thanks to a laser-grade optical sensor.
My review: The entire surface of the T620 is touch-enabled so your touch gestures are not restricted to zones. But as you gesture on a larger mouse surface, care has to be taken not to accidentally click the mouse, which could easily happen if you put pressure on the mouse with your thumb and ring finger. And among all the gestures I tried, the most difficult to invoke would be the back-forward 2-finger swipe gesture.
To enable the full suite of touch gestures on Windows, you should install the Logitech SetPoint software. The available gestures varies with Windows versions. With the latest Windows 8 and RT, you can bring up the charms and switch applications with the same gestures as on-screen touch. With older Windows, the T620 can show/hide desktop and show a summary of tiled windows using various gestures. Just like the T400, the T620 is not completely compatible with Mac OS: only the left button, right button and touch scroll actions are supported.
Being a premium product, the T620 package comes with a cloth pouch to protect the mouse. For ease of transporting the T620, there is a slot to keep the Unifying USB Receiver inside the battery compartment.
My Choice
T400 adheres to the traditional click mechanism while T620 design is similar to the Apple Magic Mouse, which might take some getting used to. The T620 offers additional gesture options not available on T400. While there appears to some lag when invoking some of the touch gestures, I appreciate a quieter environment without the annoying scroll-wheel noises. The SetPoint software intelligently identifies the Logitech product that is plugged in and displays the available options. Though the T400 and T620 are marketed for Windows 8, they work equally well with older Windows OS.
Logitech Wireless Touchpad T650
Chester Tan
Recommended Retail Price: S$109
Connectivity: Wireless with Unifying USB Receiver
Compatible Devices: Windows
Battery Life: 1 month with power switch
Dimensions (LxWxH): 129x134x12mm
Product Information: The wireless Logitech Rechargeable Touchpad T650 provides fast, fluid navigation of Windows 8, with a wider range of gestures compared to most touch mice. Let your fingers roam across the large, smooth glass surface, where you can swipe from the edges to activate charms and switch apps, scroll with ease through Web pages and pinch to zoom in on your family photos. The ultra-smooth glass surface is resistant to fingerprints and scratches so it looks as good as it feels. Plus, the entire touchpad acts as a large button – you can click wherever your finger rests. Conveniently rechargeable through USB, you never have to worry about losing power.
My Review: Like all the new Logitech wireless keyboards and mice, it's a breeze to get the T650 working. On Windows 8, there will be a pop-up to download the SetPoint software. On other Windows OS, you would need to download manually in order to use all the gesture commands.
The matte glass surface is comfortable to the fingers. There are gestures for 1 to 4 fingers totalling 13 (less if you are using older Windows). For swipe-in gestures, there is no need to swipe from the outside edge of the touchpad, as we usually do on laptop touchpads. By trial and error, I found that you can achieve accurate swipe-in actions when you start from placing your finger just at the sides of the touchpad then swipe inwards.
The touchpad is clickable, almost too faint for you to actually feel the click, and you need more strength than the usual mouse to click the touchpad. The click action is not entirely redundant: to select on-screen text, you need to click with one finger and use another finger to slide on the touchpad. I find using the click-and-slide technique easier if you use 2 hands: one to click on the touchpad while the other finger slide to navigate the mouse pointer. The large T650 touchpad lets you do this with great ease.
I like it that the T650 comes with a power switch so that I can switch off to conserve battery life, for moving around, or even for cleaning. There is a tiny LED indicator on the top right corner of the touchpad that lights up for a while when you power up and disappears thereafter, another intelligent design (compared to a constant-on light).
Like any previous wireless devices I have reviewed, there are occasions where the T650 did not respond to my gestures. This is a side effect that you will always have to accept when using any wireless device.
While I am not really a touchpad user, I do find value in having a larger responsive touchpad. Being wireless means you can use the T650 touchpad on any surface, something not achievable with mouse devices. I also like the additional gestures not available in laptop trackpads. The Logitech T650 is a simple-looking and nicely-crafted touchpad that lets you fully make use of Windows 8 touch functionality for better interactivity.

In addition to releasing the full version of the video, I've clipped out this horrifying scene from Pastor Sean Harris' interview with me.

Pastor Sean Harris interviewed by atheists!?!
The protest at Berean Baptist was well received by the community and surprisingly well covered by the media. Apparently something is coming on tonight on CNN's AC360 with Anderson Cooper.Initially, Sean Harris said that he would not be doing any interviews, but that the press was welcome to come inside to talk to the church members. I pleaded with their people to allow me to sit down with him, and they huddled. I told them that I did lots of interviews all day, and it was in their best … [Read more...]
Child abuse advocate – Pastor Sean Harris – is full of shit

He's a retired Sergeant Major - but don't let that influence you, he's batshit crazy. He's gotten in shouting matches with our atheist group members that stretched on and on for hours - in public.He's an intolerant bigot that many Christian groups are now rushing to help us put in his place.

Health & Parenting
When a Child Can't Hear
The procedure, which is irreversible and somewhat risky, is normally considered only after hearing aids have failed. That's because the child's damaged cochlea -- the nautilus shell-shaped part of the inner ear that normally directs sound energy to the auditory nerve -- is destroyed in the implantation process, eliminating the possibility of returning to hearing aids if the procedure isn't a success. Still, complete implant failure is rare, and the results can be astounding. After receiving her implant at 3-1/2 years old, Erica could hear again. "I understand how they work, but to me it's still just a miracle," says King.
However, the surgery and the implant are very expensive, usually costing between $50,000 and $70,000. Almost a year later, the Kings are still fighting with their insurance company to pay for the procedure; many insurance plans don't cover the implants.
King's second daughter, Jaime, was tested for hearing problems at birth, and as is common in households with one hearing-impaired child, their second child also had profoundly impaired hearing. The family chose to wait until she was 4 months old to fit her for a hearing aid. Erica is now 4 and Jaime almost 2, and both children are speaking at levels above their age group. However, King has recently learned that the hearing aids are no longer helping Jaime, and she too will likely need a cochlear implant.
"When a child is born, you want everything to be perfect for them. But when you realize they are deaf, part of your hopes for that child die," says King. However, as King found, with today's advances in hearing technology, dreams don't have to die. "The treatments that are available today are so effective that people can have almost normal speech if the problem is caught early."
Will Wade, a San Francisco-based writer, has a 5-year-old daughter and was the co-founder of a monthly parenting magazine. His work has appeared in POV magazine, The San Francisco Examiner, and Salon.

Not Bad For a Tractor by Ed.Paparazzi

Looking at Lamborghini Murcirlago Roadster through the wing of a Porsche Carrera GT.
Lamborghini Aventador. I cannot get enough.
(by Thomas van Rooij)
Lamborghi Miura
Italdesign Giugiaro will display eleven vintage models at this year's Techno Classica Essen.
Included are a triumvirate of VW models, such as the first-generation Passat (1973), Golf (1974) and Scirocco (1974). Also on display are a Seat Ibiza (1984), Audi 80 (1978), Lamborghini Gallardo (2002), and the still stunningly gorgeous Volkswagen W12 Nardò prototype (2001).
Do these selections fairly represent the show's theme of "automotive milestones"?

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster. Wanna dance with me? // photo by Sverigenils
Like its predecessor, the Aventador has a 60-degree V-12 with 6.5 liters of displacement (6498 cc), but rather than a square bore and stroke as in the Diablo and Murciélago, this new 518-lb. dry-sump engine has a 95.0-mm bore and a 76.4-mm stroke.
Like the earlier V-12s, it will like to rev. Even without direct injection, the quad-cam V-12 with variable valve timing and 4 valves per cylinder is still capable of 700 bhp at 8250 rpm and 509 lb.-ft. of torque at 5500 rpm, with fuel efficiency that's better by a claimed 20 percent.
A launch control system promises to help the large new Lambo hit to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, and, when conditions permit, a top speed of 217 mph.

For more than two years I met with a group of writers at a salon (that's salon, not saloon) on Montgomery Street in downtown Syracuse. It was across the street and down a piece from the Samaritan Center, which provides hot meals daily for those in need.
During that time, I met several regular and occasional diners at the center. Some were street people or those that lived on the streets because of problems with addiction or mental illness. There were still others with disabilities who lived on government assistance that didn't cover their basic requirements of food and shelter. Some were passing through a time of need because of a move or a job loss or a desperate family emergency or a combination of trying circumstances. Some were reacclimating after time spent incarcerated, turned out into a world that had spun wildly ahead while they sat behind bars. All were really in some sort of pickle, and most were friendly and thankful for the good food and kind service they received at the center. Many would give you the shirt off their own backs if you needed it, but for one reason or another they found themselves in dire straits.
I am writing this to insure the 342 people who attended the Beach, Blues and Barbecue on Aug. 1 in Skaneateles that your contribution is really appreciated and put to good use.
The Samaritan Center is a well-run organization of caring people made up of a few staff members (6) and many volunteers (400 a month). Even the people I met who worked at the Samaritan really needed and appreciated their jobs and put their hearts and souls, as well as talent, into the gig.
"Most assuredly, those that eat at the center are like everyone else, heterogeneous but with the commonality of poverty. They need the help that the simple offering of food and welcome provide. The long time employees of the center are true heroes," Ann Smithwick Ferro said. Ann is a colleague of mine, who recently retired from the Samaritan.
The parable of the Good Samaritan ultimately demonstrates the importance of helping those in need, regardless of who they are and why they are in need of help. You answered that need in both your contributions and your celebration of the good things in life.
As they say, "There but for the grace of God, go I."

Created In the Image of God for Good Works; "The Negro" and Benevolent Government Programmes to Eradicate Noisome Populations
Created in the Image of God for Good Works: *Special Note: This post is about one race and one race only…The Human Race and its relationship to Benevolent Government(s).
In order to identify, understand where the human race is today we must first look back, back at social engineering. Throughout history there has always been a progressive-elite engaged in social engineering through governance. The social engineers have changed their names over the course of history but the scientific method, desired outcome have remained constant and true.
For the progressive-elite man is not Created in the Image of Godrather man is an object, property of the godless state as a human lab rat, means for production even going as far as being considered a plague on the earth.
It is "The Negro" in the historical context of Benevolent Government Programmes of Eugenics and its Religion of Scientific Racism: Social Darwinism courtesy of the social engineers which provides an enlightening microcosm of where the state of man, 'Benevolent Government Programmes to Eradicate Noisome Populations' is today.
"They were stolen from their homes, locked in chains and taken across an ocean. And for more than 200 years, their blood and sweat would help to build the richest and most powerful nation the world has ever known.
But when slavery ended, their welcome was over. America's wealthy elite had decided it was time for them to disappear and they were not particular about how it might be done.
What you are about to see is that the plan these people set in motion 150 years ago is still being carried out today. So don't think that this is history. It is not. It is happening right here, and it's happening right now." -Maafa 21
Ask yourself what was the most important lesson learned from the 1861 Civil War in America? The answer is this: The progressive-elite social engineers will transform themselves at any cost to continue their Benevolent Government Programmes to Eradicate Noisome Populations, save the planet.
The institution of slavery, business as usual of the progressive-elites using "The Negro" as human lab rats was drawing near its end. Enter the 'Benevolent Union' (Government of Lincoln) and its policy setting progressive-elite Lincolnites.
Freedom for "The Negro" was never achieved; the slavery of "The Negro" was transformed through the scientific method of the progressive-elite social engineer allowing for the desired outcome to have remained constant and true resulting in the Urban Plantation (Social Engineering Lab and Population Control Centers).
As we said in the beginning note this post is about The Human Race! Through trial and error, resulting in untold human misery, suffering, torture and death, the progressive-elite social engineers have perfected their scientific method for Benevolent Government Programmes to Enslave the Masses and Eradicate Noisome Populations.

- Removal of National Identity (Hyphenated-American)
- Public Education System (Benevolent Government Schools) as primary indoctrination, behavioral control centers and state day penal system youth facilities. [Public Schools: Communist Agenda Driven Linguistics Weaponology on Our Children's Minds…]
- Redefine Societal Norms. Replace moral theology with progressive-elite socially engineered ethics: "If it feels good do it," Do what thou wilt" [Hooking Kids on Sex II - Video Resource]
- Carrot-Stick Economic Control: Force total reliance on government funds and services. Withhold or eliminate funding/services based upon obedience, conformity to state.
- Invisible Borders: Essential Protective, Environmental-Waste Disposal Services and Resources allocated for the progressive-elites outside of the 'Urban Plantations' forming the 'Invisible Border'.
- Perpetuate Narco-State Centers under the guise of War on Drugs.
- Use of Community, Government, Religious Leaders willing and able to collaborate with Benevolent Government Programmes to Enslave, Eradicate Noisome Populations.
- Use of the prison system to hide the progressive-elite socially engineered failures.
- Transfer of Wealth of the many to the few.
- Forced Change of Government Systems.
- Removal of personal, religious liberties; The individuals, institutions that promote and protect them.

IB sees big China Army surge in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir
Around the time that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was attending the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, China was busy building up a formidable presence by steadily increasing the deployment of People's Liberation Army troops in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Over the last few weeks, specifically since the process of Lok Sabha elections began in the country, the Chinese have strategically increased the presence of PLA personnel, engineers and technicians in the PoK region by about 1,000 people.
A classified Intelligence Bureau report, submitted to the home ministry on June 4 and accessed by this newspaper, while spelling out these details, has cautioned security agencies to remain vigilant about the sudden Chinese surge in PoK.
"Pakistan's directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has been cozying up to China, which has led to an increase, estimated to be around 12,000 [total presence], of Chinese PLA troops, engineers and technicians (most of whom are also from the PLA). One of the PLA battalions withdrawn from Khunjerab Pass earlier has been re-deployed again, which too has led to the increased numbers," the report says.
According to the secret intelligence note, China has started adopting an aggressive posture in PoK after its repeated intrusions in Ladakh's Chumar region were strongly resisted by India, both at the diplomatic level and on the security front.
Top government sources said the note has been circulated to key security and intelligence establishments in the government in an attempt to sensitise and prepare the border-guarding security forces accordingly.
The fact about Chinese presence in PoK is fairly well-known, but, importantly, the recent developments over the past few weeks are being described as the single-biggest Chinese build-up in recent times.
"It seems the Chinese security agencies took full advantage of the fluid political situation in our country ever since the Lok Sabha election process was initiated in April. Now that a stable and firm government is in place, one would be able to deal with the situation with more clarity," a senior intelligence official said.
Intelligence sources also claim that allowing a recent increase in the presence of PLA personnel in PoK is part of a bigger game-plan by the ISI to keep the Chinese in good humour so that they invest more, particularly in the infrastructure sector.
"This is as much of an economic as a security or a strategic issue. And the present arrangement suits both China and Pakistan since the former gets a sizeable presence in the PoK region while the latter benefits from development," the official added.
Some of the key strategic infrastructure projects that the Chinese are involved in the region are mining work in Gilgit, Satpara, Baltistan, work on modernisation of the Karakoram highway, five bridges on Jhelum, four dam projects for generating 12,000 MW power.
With a BJP-led government in place at the Centre, sources said, there would be a significant change in New Delhi's Pakistan and China policy and the Centre is clearly keeping itself well-equipped with all possible information for that.

If you are attempting to slim down, just take a great look at your diet plan by keeping a food journal for a week prior to starting your diet. This will demonstrate where your trouble spots lie. By way of example, have you been susceptible to over eating while on the job in the evenings, or at friend's houses? If so, you may want to invest in weight loss supplements that work by suppressing your hunger. Garcinia cambogia is useful for this. For alot more information about it Garcinia Cambogia HQ in Australia have a great guide on the supplement. You can find them by clicking here.
Make certain that you get appropriate sleep while attempting to slim down. Being well-rested doesn't simply suggest you are going to have enough electricity for the evening's events. Obtaining appropriate sleep really helps your metabolism remain on course. Maybe not getting enough sleep or radically changing your sleep routines, could harm your metabolism.
To assist you to slim down, don't totally abandon meals you love entirely. This can lead to a powerful desire to have these meals and might wind up in binge-eating. Anything is great in moderation, and is sometimes a benefit for adhering to your own diet. Granted moderation can be hard. If you struggle for this, take an appetite suppressing weight loss supplement as mentioned earlier. These can include, among other ones, garcinia cambogia. You can find more information about garcinia by clicking here. Additionally as regards eating less, as you gradually move from ingesting oily meals, you may discover your desire to have the falling as time passes.
Make an effort to consider yourself just once weekly. Your fat will change daily and will not be as precise of a measure as weekly might be. If you find your fat maybe not changing as significantly or rising in the previous day, you are likely to get discouraged and stop with your program before it will take influence.
Fitness is a key variable in fat loss. You should try and get half an hour daily. One of the ways to get this done is always to join organizations or clubs for tasks which you love performing, like bowling, dance, football, golfing etc. This may also allow you to meet new folks. And usually these individuals may support and let you stick to your fitness plan.
In the event you 're attempting to slim down, it is critical to be certain you avoid sweet-sampling meals and beverages, also these sweetened unnaturally! The reason behind this can be that when the body ingests a nice flavor, also supposing it's not glucose, it primes your insulin pump to get a nice "struck" in the future. Sugary foods like this are a problem. They are converted to 'bad' carbohyrates which is stored as fat. Supplements like cambogia pure garcinia which are sold everywhere including Australia, actually retard this process of converting sugars to stored fats.
The human body produces insulin, planning for a lot more calories to arrive and also you become more starving, causing you to consume more. Therefore avoid the nice flavors and you'll discover that your hunger falls.
Put in your necessary exercise. By coming in small workouts occasionally, you are going to burn additional calories with no attempt of a supplementary work out. As an example, do calf-raises or knee bends for 2 minutes while you brush your teeth or do crunches and pushups during commercial breaks of your favourite tv-show.
Don't stock attractive food at home. Unless you buy that tray of treats, you won't have to confront them each moment you-go in to the kitchen. As an alternative, make sure you maintain healthful choices available and ready to catch. As an example, prepare a stylish arrangement of fresh veggies on a dish to maintain in the fridge or inventory delicious wholegrain biscuits to catch for a fast bite.

MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - The expected pre-Thanksgiving drop in gas prices continued this past week--that's the good news. The bad news is that gas prices nationally, are still expected to come close to breaking the all time high price record for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Over the past week, we saw Louisiana prices drop another 4.3¢ a gallon, bringing us down to $3.18 a gallon. That compares to $3.43 nationally which is about 3¢ a gallon lower than it was nationally a week ago.
Including the change in gas prices in Louisiana during the past week, prices yesterday were 2.6 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago but are 32.1 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 26.4 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 6.5 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
This week, a record number of travelers are expected to be driving rather than flying, given the problems the airlines are having right now.

Do you really need $1 million to retire?
The truth behind five popular retirement myths.
People ask me about their investments. People ask me about wills and estates. But the one topic that most people want to talk to me about is retirement. It's a reality we'll all have to face and yet, for all that has been said about it, there is still a lot of confusion surrounding it. That confusion can be paralyzing. I've spoken to people across the country who have not taken steps to prepare for retirement because they were afraid of making a mistake. While some don't know where to begin, others think that either they don't need to plan or that doing so is pointless — they'll never be able to save enough. They're wrong. Let's tackle the most dangerous myth first.
Myth # 1: Government programs such as CPP & OAS will take care of my retirement needs.
To be sure, CPP, OAS & GIS (to some) are pillars of retirement planning. But they will likely fall well short of covering your income needs in retirement. At least your company pension can make up the difference, right? Not for the majority of Canadians. Only 38 per cent of the workforce is covered by a pension at work. Of those, defined contribution plans are increasingly becoming more popular than defined benefit plans. Even defined benefit plans are susceptible to market downturns. Several of the country's big pensions have felt the funding squeeze caused by the market downturn. Investors should take responsibility for funding their own stable stream of income in retirement through RSPs, TFSAs & non-registered accounts.
Myth # 2: I need a million dollars to retire.
This is the opposite of the first myth. Some people are scared by the mistaken belief that they need a million dollars for retirement. I don't know why that number gets tossed around so often. The problem is that, for some, it makes the situation seem hopeless and causes an undue amount of fear and worry. I want to be absolutely clear. IT IS A MYTH. According to Malcolm Hamilton of Mercer, for the vast majority of Canadian Seniors, 50 per cent of pre-retirement income is enough for a comfortable retirement. Most financial planners use a figure closer to 70 per cent to be safe. So how much do you need? Let's do a quick calculation:
Statistics Canada says the median household income for a married couple is $63,900 (gross). Seventy per cent of that means a retired couple would need $44,730 a year.
Average OAS is $489.12/month x 12 months = $5,869
Average CPP is $505.11/month x 12 months = $6,061
Therefore, the income from government sources is $11,930 for each spouse. The total income (for both spouses) is twice that amount or $23,860 a year.

Assuming you are one of the 62 per cent of Canadians without a pension plan, that means you have to fund the remaining approximately $21,000 a year. According to Russell Investments Canada's "Retirement Rule of $20", every $1 of annual retirement income will need to be funded by $20 saved by the day of your retirement. That means the couple in our example needs $420,000 to fund their $21,000/year retirement shortfall. A far cry from the mythical $1,000,000.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (August 13, 2013) – The Rutgers women's soccer suffered a 3-0 defeat to West Virginia on Tuesday in Morgantown, W.Va., in the Scarlet Knights' first exhibition match of the 2013 preseason. Despite the loss, eight freshmen – Jennifer Andresen (Franklin Lakes, N.J.), Victoria Prager (Mount Laurel, N.J.), Jessica Puchalski (South Brunswick, N.J.), Ali Ryan (Bowie, Md.), Jenna Seddon (Galloway, N.J.), Erin Smith (Medford Lakes, N.J.), Madison Tiernan (Voorhees, N.J.), and Nikki Hudson (Baltimore, Md.) – made their collegiate debuts for head coach Glenn Crooks.
"We really liked the way we kept the ball and I think we made a lot of progress today," Crooks said. "We played everybody we brought and I think since we have two scrimmages it's very important we got everyone an opportunity. We had eight freshmen that made their collegiate debuts so there were certainly some nerves.
"The thing that I was trying to do was blend the lineup in a way where we weren't in a position where all freshmen were on the field at the same time, or all upperclassman at the same time. I can really say that everyone made a positive contribution and hopefully this will be a step forward for our team heading into our season-opener on August 23rd against Drexel."
RU had five players log over 60 minutes of action, as Tiernan led the Scarlet Knights with two shots. The squad also bested WVU, 2-0, in corner kick attempts.
The Mountaineers got on the board in the 29th minute off a strike from Bryce Banuelos. Less than 10 minutes later, Tessa Broadwater made it a 2-0 game, blasting a shot to the far post and past senior goalkeeper Jess Janosz (Ringwood, N.J.).
WVU's Kara Blosser tacked on the team's third goal of the contest in the 60th minute after a cross into the box from Frances Silva. Silva was credited with the assist on all three Mountaineers' goals.
The Scarlet Knights return to Piscataway for their final exhibition match of the preseason on Saturday, Aug. 17 against Richmond at Yurcak Field. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
Crooks will lead his team in its season debut for the 14th consecutive year on August 23, when the Scarlet Knights host Drexel at Yurcak Field. Season tickets for RU women's soccer are now on sale and are $50 for adults, $40 for children 12 & under and seniors 55 & older. All packages include a free t-shirt. Season tickets can be purchased by calling the box office at 732-907-1570.

The WR-1 reactor was a research reactor located at AECL's Whiteshell Laboratories, located near Pinawa, Manitoba.
The 60 MWt WR-1 was designed and built by Canadian General Electric, and first achieved criticality in 1965. The reactor was built at a cost of $14.5 Million CDN.[1] The original purpose of the unit was as a test reactor for a proposed organic-cooled CANDU power reactor. When that program ceased in 1972, WR-1 was used for irradiation, experimentation and heating the WNRE site. WR-1 was shut down for the last time in 1985, was defuelled, and is now undergoing decommissioning.
The reactor had vertical fuel channels, was cooled by an organic liquid (an oil) rather than water. The neutrons were moderated by cool heavy water in a large calandria vessel surrounding the fuel channels. The reactor did not use conventional control rods, but relied on control of the level of the heavy water moderator to adjust the power output. The reactor could be shut down quickly (SCRAM) by rapid dumping of the moderator. The organic liquid, called OS-84, that was selected as a coolant in WR-1 is a mixture of terphenyls treated catalytically with hydrogen to produce 40 percent saturated hydrocarbons. The terphenyls are petrochemical derivatives that were readily available and were already in use as heat transfer media. Using an organic coolant meant the reactor was run at low operating pressures, and had very low corrosion rates. The low corrosion rates allowed it to use metallic uranium and uranium carbide fuels, which corrode in water. The metallic fuel conducts heat better, so that a higher power core could be used in the same space.
The organic coolant also meant the reactor could be run at high temperatures, with outlet temperatures up to 425°C.
In November 1978 there was a major loss of coolant accident . 2,739 liters of coolant oil leaked, most of it into the Winnipeg River. The repair took several weeks for workers to complete. There was another leak in 1980 of 680 liters said Robert Pollock, the environmental officer. [2][3]
WR1 was shut down for the last time ostensibly for economic reasons, on May 17, 1985 although it was the youngest of AECL's large research reactors. The reactor is currently in an interim decommissioning stage, defuelled and largely disassembled. The site will be returned to Green Field status at the end of decommissioning.

This is as insightful a glimpse into a country's cinema as you're likely to see at this running time.
Not Quite Hollywood is jammed with well-preserved clips of the Aussie movies that started pushing the limits after censorship was essentially dropped in 1971.
Tarantino's enthusiasm notwithstanding, backstage gossip about movies of no importance is enough to bore even certified film geeks.
If Not Quite Hollywood is not quite convincing, it is quite entertaining.
What's cool and always kicky is seeing a country's irreverent movie trash being treated with such, well, reverence.
It's almost criminal, the amount of fun filmmaker Mark Hartley has conducting this wildly salacious, enormously entertaining documentary.
What's nice about a movie like this is that it gives you a sampling of this genre without making you sit down and watch hours and hours of movies.
If you don't already love the underground world of masochistic movies, this will be a real eye-opener.
It's a ribald and entertaining documentary, filled with great yarns and astonishing images from not only the finished films but from the making of them.
The onslaught of tastelessness begins even before the opening credits and continues nonstop for 103 deliciously sleazy minutes.
You'll get more bang, boobs and blood for your buck here than with any other show in town.
As recounted in Mark Hartley's entertaining documentary, twisted imaginations went wild after the post-'60s liberation from censorship and the introduction of tax breaks.
It's a Documentary that's celebrating obscure films by showing a crapload of clips. I loved it! Film lovers who crave cult cinema aren't going to want to miss this opportunity to expand their knowledge.
Not Quite Hollywood - lousy title, great peek back at the Ozploitation movement.
Not Quite goes on a little longer than it needs to, but if the success of a movie like this is measured by whether it makes you want to see some of the movies it revisits, then count me in.
... a smartly made look at an otherwise neglected aspect of film history and culture, packed with colorful stories, witty observations, punky attitude and real history...
This isn't exactly a thesis that's going to win any awards, especially up against the latest documentary about the Holocaust or the war in Iraq. But as far as entertainment goes, it's about the most fun I've had all summer.
A fun and energized documentary about a neglected era of exploitation cinema, but it suffers from a couple of pretty critical sins of omission.

This laptop case is the perfect brief case for anyone who has a larger laptop. It is room to spare and I absolutely love it. The only downside is that with this much room, it can get a little heavy but if you want something to carry all your business gadgets and are willing to compromise on weight, this is the perfect case. Very well made.
This is a great case - bought for my boss And he is thrilled with it. It has many compartments and works perfectly for organization and also very durable . Looks nice - he highly recommends
Didn't like the leather and it was a little too deep for everyday carry.
Mine is a brown one and it is really spacious, a smaller laptop case is contained inside the big bag and you can take it off if you don't want it.
I bought this case for my son. He travels quite a lot in his job and he loved the separate laptop case he could remove at the airport security. The craftmanship is beautiful, and the leather is thick and luxurious. There`s plenty of room for all his accessories. I was very pleased with the look and the lines of this case.
The bag is very durable with plenty of room! The additional computer bag is very handy, and when removed gives added storage space.

After years of working in the corporate sector, Fernando Otero decided to strike out on his own. Then came a really tough decision what to do next.
"Franchising actually was almost an accident," says Mr. Otero, of Davie, Florida. "Basically, I was browsing on the Internet and I came across Pillar to Post [a home inspection franchisor] three years ago."
That inauspicious start notwithstanding, Mr. Otero is part of an emerging trend in franchising. There's a dearth of research on diversity within the industry, but experts say that minorities, including Hispanics, represent franchising's next frontier.
"A lot of our members believe franchising is a good vehicle to develop a particular town or area because of the standards and operations it brings," says Marcel Portmann, vice-president of emerging markets and global development at the International Franchise Association in Washington, D.C. "Franchising in urban areas and the possibilities it can bring are one side of it. Obviously, creating minority entrepreneurs also is part of it."
Mr. Portmann's division at the IFA was created in the early 1990s to promote minority representation among IFA's membership. He says minorities, like other would-be entrepreneurs, are drawn to the independence associated with franchising, though others express a desire to give back to their communities.
"I've had people tell me that they have to leave their town or city to get a nice lunch or dinner or find somewhere to relax, because there's nothing in their region," he says. "They ask me, 'Why are we giving our money to somebody else? I would like to leave my money in my area, my neighborhood.' That's probably something that's going on all over the country, and the Hispanic market is growing tremendously because of it."
Franchising has a lot to offer the budding entrepreneur, says Mr. Portmann. For starters, the learning curve is often less daunting than those associated with companies begun from scratch.
"The benefit to the franchisee, of course, is that they can hit the ground running, not walking, when they open their doors," says Therese Thilgen, president and editor of Franchise Update magazine in San Jose, California. "They've had adequate training, and they've had the benefit of the operating system the franchisors support. The franchisors have already gone through all of the mistakes. Franchisees get the benefit of ongoing training and they have regular support. Depending on the size of the brand, they can have great branding too. And then they have economies of scale and supply ordering. For those reasons, franchising now has become a really big business."
Or, as the IFA likes to put it, "franchising is being in business for yourself, not by yourself." It was this support network aspect that convinced Mr. Otero to go the franchise route.
"Franchising has a heck of a lot of advantages," he says. "To say I'm a franchisee gives me credibility. When you tell some Realtors you are a franchisee, they look at you differently. They think, 'Oh, this guy is a businessman, he's not just a home inspector.' It's not Joe Blow with his shingle hanging off the front porch of his house. It's Joe Blow with a whole bunch of shingles behind him."
A 1999 U.S. Small Business Administration survey found that carpet, upholstery, and drapery cleaning franchises have the highest proportion of Hispanic owners (18.8 percent). In sheer numbers, however, Hispanics owned more fast-food restaurants. Those findings are borne out by anecdotal evidence. McDonald's has a Hispanic Owner Operators Association representing 178 owners nationally, for instance. Hispanics own about 650 McDonald's franchises nationwide.
Their focus has mainly been on food "because it's the first thing people looking into franchising think about," says Mr. Portmann. "One of our tasks is educating emerging entrepreneurs that there are 75 different industries out there, and not to think only about fast food, which just happens to require the highest investment because you need the real estate.
"Services such as commercial cleaning or residential cleaning are great alternatives because, in fact, many of these services are already franchised and employ Hispanics and other minorities. Typically [cleaning franchises] are more accessible because their fees are for know-how, and the rest is for equipment and maybe some type of vehicle. The investment is not as high as it would be to put up a McDonald's."
That brings us to cost, perhaps the biggest deterrent to minority franchise ownership. Franchising can be an expensive proposition. Expenses include fees, royalties, supply costs, employee salaries, and real estate. The size of the tab ultimately depends on the industry.
"You can get into a franchise for $10,000, or up to multi-millions if you move into the hospitality sector," Ms. Thilgen says. "In the food industry, you have a range, depending on whether it's a coffee kiosk in a mall to something that is going to require more build-out. It's all over the board. Even within some industries you might see a huge range, because franchisors are getting very creative in going to nontraditional locations. For instance, having a Pizza Hut in a mall versus opening one in an airport. At the airport it's smaller, so therefore the investment is different."
As a result, financing how much and how easily it's obtained plays a huge role in the diversification of franchising. Financing options are as varied as franchise opportunities themselves (see next story). Bank loans or lines of credit, government loans, and even help from the franchisors all are possibilities.
"Access to capital and financing options are probably the main barriers to any development, although we do have some options and programs in place to help develop that end," Mr. Portmann says. "Franchisors are realizing that this is an area of good development and there have to be some concessions made. Some of them are already putting programs in place that are very good, not just for Hispanics but for any minority group. Some of them waive the franchise fee, or at least lower it. Some will do financing internally. There is definitely more outreach. We are seeing it in our program."
Mr. Portmann singles out fast-food powerhouses such as McDonald's and Tricon, the owners of Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut, as being among the most progressive in terms of diversity. But some smaller franchisors also are starting to recognize the benefits of reaching out to minority communities.
"It's a matter of planting a seed, and the impression you give out to the minority community," he says. "If you are not helping the community not lowering your fees or giving advantages the rest of the community will say, 'Look, don't even talk to these guys, because they are not flexible and they won't work with us.'"
Because he wanted to keep his retirement nest egg secure, Mr. Otero opted to get a credit line from his bank by borrowing against his home. With no major overhead, he has long since closed that line.
"Being your own boss nothing beats that," he says. "I don't think I could ever go back to being an employee of any company. They would have to offer a lot of money for me to even consider it."
As he continues to build his Pillar to Post franchise, Mr. Otero has this advice for other Hispanics who decide to follow in his footsteps.
"You have to hang tough and you have to take the job seriously," he says. "There is no magic wand. If you want to make money, you have to work your tail off. Don't expect miracles overnight. When you decide to go with it, you have to research the industry, the business, the competition. And most importantly you need to know whom you're getting in bed with."
