You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I meant to order a bigger card than this so was surprised when it arrived. It was our reception info card but being so tiny, it was actually cute so we used it anyway! There are two enclosure cards available so be sure you are ordering the size you want. I wish they would name them "small" & "large" enclosure...."
"Loved these little insert cards to display our website and hotel information. They weren't too expensive and allowed us to add that info without cluttering the invite with it. I think I used pearlescent paper, but quality was great! . For our invitations as a whole, we got comments like ours: "I just got my invitation and I just have to say that is the most beautiful wedding invitation I've ever received. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day." "We got your wedding invitation this weekend and I just wanted to tell you that it is absolutely gorgeous! Eddie and I ooohed an aaahed over it and then I brought it to my parents' house and everyone there did the same. :) Well done!" "Just got your wedding invitation!!!! So gorgeous!" "Love your wedding invitation. It's beautiful :-)" "Hi! I just wanted to let you know that your wedding invitation is absolutely amazing!! I love it!!" "Just got home and received your beautiful wedding invite. Love it!""
"I used this piece as my card to provide guests detail on my reception. I worked with a designer and I am very happy with how it came out. I recommend shimmer paper to give it an elegant look and feel"
"The design review people were great and were able to make all the edits I requested. The paper quality is great and I'm so happy with the finished product. The shipping was crazy fast!!"
"- I love this website, I love how you can customize your invitations, cards, etc and see what they look like right in front of your eyes before you even order - The quality is amazing, and everything I have ordered (save the dates, wedding invitations, RSVPs, enclosure cards, and address labels) has been absolutely amazing! I have had no disappointments and have been beyond impressed and happy everytime"

amg review
For this album comprised solely of his own material, bassist and composer Enrico Fazio from the Piedmont region of Italy assembled his band for this debut recording session. Fazio was well equipped with a band featuring Carlos Actis Dato and Francesco Vigone on saxophones, Alberto Mandarini on trumpet, Fiorenzo Sordini on drums, and guests Fanca Silveri on his Mingus tribute, "Charlie's Angels," and vocalist Lauro Rossi on "Gardel," which opens the album. "Gardel" is a variation on the themes of the great tango maestro Carlos Gardel. Its rhythmic structure is a tango and its thematic variations are based on the five tango modes. There is an ostinato in the center, which opens out onto a roguish vamp for Mandarini's solo. But the true masterpiece on this disc is "Charlie's Angels," a composition for which Fazio won an award at the Sardinia International Jazz Festival. Only 14 minutes in length, it manages to take the Mingus themes of "Better Git It in Your Soul," "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," "Fables of Faubus," "Pithecanthropus Erectus," and "Self Portrait in Three Colors" and weave them through a gorgeous composition that winds through blues, New Orleans, swing, Ellingtonian grandeur, and funky gutbucket bop as it juxtaposes Mingus' thematics inside a framework that spreads out historically and culturally from the center of jazz' location at the nexus of musical culture. The piece is full of blood, sweat, lust, tears, and blacker than blue blues. As it unfolds -- with the bass in the heart, the trumpet and saxophones at the margins, and the drums reining it all in -- it feels like Mingus' spirit is evoked from the studies of harmonic extrapolations of diatonic scales that made his music so special. In short, "Charlie's Angels" kicks ass, and so does the album. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

Guilty of Romance, 2011
I've been watching a lot of Japanese films lately since my earphones got broken. It's better to read subtitles than to actually strain to hear what on earth the characters are saying. Anyways, this film was directed by Sion Sono, the same one who did Cold Fish. It's about three women: a dissatisfied housewife, a female cop and a university professor by day-hooker by night. It's a provocative film that tackles the issues of prostitution, illicit affairs and brutal murder. It definitely is way better than Cold Fish. To be honest, during the start of the film, I thought that I would just be subjected to another one of those stupid films with way too much sexually frustrated characters. I'm glad that I was wrong. It has depth and it's wonderfully twisted, definitely just the way I like it. One thing that I didn't like though was that the housewife got a job in a grocery store and she was sampling sausages. I mean, how slapstick can you get?
Looks like my next movie choice

PORTAGE | It was out-of-hand early.
A first-inning offensive explosion propelled Times No. 2 Crown Point to a 7-1 Duneland Athletic Conference win over Portage on Thursday.
"It was important to come out here and do well," Crown Point coach Steve Strayer said. "We're trying to get ready for the sectional. (Portage) is a sectional opponent, and we could see them in the championship game."
Every hitter in the Crown Point lineup came to the plate in the first inning, and five of them scored. Johnny Lynk's double with the bases loaded brought in three.
"I knew it was a big moment, because it was bases loaded, DAC game. I was just looking for a pitch to drive," Lynk said. "We were hungry to get another DAC win. Hopefully Chesterton lost, and we could share the title."
The win would've given Crown Point (20-4, 12-2) a share of the DAC championship. Chesterton, however, didn't cooperate. The Trojans beat Lake Central and are sole champs.
"We wanted to finish up and control what we could control," Strayer said. "We got 12 wins in the Duneland Conference, which is very respectable. We're happy with that."
Portage (14-12, 4-10) didn't help itself in that decisive first inning, missing opportunities to stifle the rally.
"I think that first inning, we misplayed a fly ball that should've been an out and made another error that should've got us out of the inning," Portage coach Tim Pirowski said. "You give a team like Crown Point five outs, they're going to make you pay."
Bobby Morgan plated two more for C.P. with a double in the third that made it 7-0.
"We have to start getting hot. Next week starts the sectional," Lynk said. "We're getting hot at the right time."
The Indians scored in the fourth when Kevin Jones singled with the bases loaded. It would be all the Indians would get, though, leaving the maximum in the frame.

Defining Auro-Increment for Primary keys (and other fields?)

I am a new boy and I am astonished at how comprehensive and useable Heidi is. I also appreciate that it is still under development. But After PhpMyAdmin and other tools it is like emerging from a swamp.
because I am new I an not always confident that I know when I find an issue whether it is an unavailable feature, a bug, or just me being a little slow!
I worked out the F2 for the Key type. But I am lost as to how to define Auto Increment. I stusk a 1 in the Auto-increment box in options, but that doesn't seem to apply to the Primary key, because when I did an export that field was not set to AutoIncrement in the Create SQL. Neither was their an AUTO INCREMENT=n in the final section of the CREATE statement.
Also, can I apply AutoIncrement to other columns? Not Neccessarily key ones? If so, how? (I'm not a MySQL genius?)
Is it me? Or do I need to export, update the SQL and then Re-import?

ELK CREEK, Neb. (AP) — A Canadian mining firm is preparing to resume drilling samples from beneath southeast Nebraska to determine if it will be feasible to build a mine to harvest a valuable and rare heat-resistant element.
NioCorp Developments said Tuesday it has requested bids from drilling companies for this summer's exploration of the niobium deposit near Elk Creek.
NioCorp said last month it had raised $5.5 million to pay for this next phase of drilling and assessment.
The U.S. currently imports nearly all the niobium that's used in this country to harden steel and make it more heat-resistant for industrial uses.
NioCorp previously estimated that more than 100 tons of niobium rests several hundred feet below the ground, but it's not yet clear whether a mine will be built.

How bout that? I know a fella that converted his to a fixie with neon velocity wheels.
Your dad rode vintage road bikes before you did and he's got the saddle-smashed balls to prove it. He was a cadence-king of the century club who crank-kicked the shit out of his competition. His two-wheeled chariot was Campy fresh and lugged-steel sturdy. He deserves a yellow jersey for being a life-leader of the swag peloton.
So hipsters, when you're saddle deep in 70's street style that you've ruined by converting it into a fixie with obnoxiously neon velocity wheels, remember this…
That bike was the only thing your dad rode harder than the Tour de Your Mom.

First and foremost, let me put my own beliefs upfront. While I have no reservations in my mind that would set aside a personal viewpoint regarding your sexual orientation, I believe that reality is not as kind. Let's face it, there just isn't a clear path to complete unity on this issue.
Simple-minded people will always persecute those who aren't similar to them, considered normal, or live up to their interpretation of their god's book.
Crimes committed based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual-orientation, gender, or age are hate crimes, pure and simple. If it is the motivation that guides you on your quest of nefarious behavior, then you have committed the worst kind of crime that exists and you deserve the worst kind of punishment.
So when I read that the FAMU hazing victim told his friends and family that he was gay, I instantly began searching for my raincoat and umbrella. Folks, the shit-storm's a' brewin'. The horizon smells mighty awful.

Leaving my sparring friends

But nay, here they stand

This post originally appeared here in a blog post by RCT Welsh Lib Dem Campaign Manager Karen Roberts entitled "Cllr Cannon and the Labour lot - scared, stupid or simply stubborn?"
Next Wednesday the Labour Cabinet in RCT meet to launch the so called consultation on the second round of the savage Labour cuts and to consider the feedback from the public on the first round.
The first round included cutbacks in nursery education, youth provision, meals on wheels, libraries and day centres.
Cabinet meetings are of course open to the public, and members of the public are invited to submit requests to speak if they have a relevant interest. So as someone with a relevant interest I did just that.
I am Chair of the Cwmclydach Development Trust which runs a Day Nursery - our business could be directly affected by the decision made. I am Vice Chair of Governors at a secondary school - our E3 provision will be affected by the withdrawal of transport, and we anticipate that our homework clubs will suffer as a result.
I have an interest, albeit less directly, in Clydach Vale Boys and Girls Club where the youth club is currently based - plans to remove funding for it will certainly have an effect on provision there. The building may become unsustainable and as it currently houses our holiday play schemes then it will affect our Trust.
Yet, surprise, surprise, today I received an email which states:
Dear Ms.Roberts, The Cabinet Office has already received a number of requests to contribute to the meeting. Your request has been considered by the Chair and it is felt that you do not have a relevant interest in the matters being discussed.
So Deputy Leader Paul Cannon, whom I presume is still in the driving seat owing to the Leader's illness, has decided that I do not have a relevant interest. Really? How much more relevant could it get then?
Maybe they are scared that myself and others actually know more than they do about some of the subjects under discussion. If the public report is anything to go by then that wouldn't be difficult.
A cynic may well think that Cllr Cannon is simply playing political games, which given the seriousness of the proposals is indeed sad. From a political viewpoint it is also quite stupid.
You see, whatever I was going to say regarding childcare provision and youth provision I can say to a much wider audience anyway via social media. So should I be looking to score political points from that then I can do so fairly easily. What this frankly daft decision does is now give the opportunity to point out to everyone exactly how undemocratic the Labour Cabinet are.
Politically it shows a marked naivety. Maybe they should be looking for some better strategic advice on the subject. Scared, stupid or simply stubborn - probably all three

From 1966 to 1980, Woody Allen contributed comical short stories, essays and plays to publications like The New Yorker, Playboy, The New Republic and The New York Times. These writings, along with some of Allen's previously unpublished literature, were compiled over the years in three books: "Getting Even" (1971), "Without Feathers" (1975) and "Side Effects" (1980).
Much of what Allen writes about in these short stories shows up later in his films. That is not to say he's simply recycling old material; rather, it indicates what subjects are important to him as a comedian.
"Getting Even"
In "My Philosophy," Allen shows how philosophical argument can be hilarious. In his films "Bananas" (1971) and "Love and Death" (1975), Allen took this idea and put it into witty dialogue for his characters. They banter about philosophy, as well as poke fun at the philosophers themselves. In addition to parodying the form of argumentation, Allen also makes the philosophical messages his own. For example, "Eternal nothingness is O.K. if you're dressed for it."
In "Spring Bulletin," Allen builds off "My Philosophy" and takes a crack at academia. He lists interesting names for courses, followed by parodied summaries. His own stint at college was very short, but he's continued to make fun of a college education ever since. His character in "Annie Hall" (1977), for example, blatantly criticizes college, as well as adult education courses.
In the short comedic play "Death Knocks," the Grim Reaper stops by for a visit. Death is a little clumsy, he fatigues easily, and he's basically an underachiever. The poor man in his crosshairs challenges Death to a game of gin rummy in order to stave off dying. This idea is a not-so-subtle reference to Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman's 1957 masterpiece, "The Seventh Seal." That film had the characters playing chess, mind you.
Allen brings back this idea in his film "Love and Death" (1975). The title was designed to be the opposite of Tolstoy's "War and Peace." Like the book, the film centers around the Napoleonic wars, albeit in a much sillier fashion. The Death character also appears in Allen's film. Though he's not as verbal as in "Death Knocks," the intent is still to parody an immortal Bergman character.
"Without Feathers"
The writings in this book pick up where "Death Knocks" leaves off. But instead of addressing the idea in a sketch, Allen approaches the subject with one-liners in several separate writings. In "The Early Essays," for example, he writes: "The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife--a depressing though, particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held. On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down."
This preoccupation with death can be seen in many of Allen's films, but unlike "Love and Death," where the topic is handled whimsically, Allen discusses the subject with a greater seriousness. See "Annie Hall," where Allen's character remarks that he is obsessed with death because it is an important subject; see "Stardust Memories" (1980), where Allen's character hallucinates his own assassination; see "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986), where Allen's character contemplates suicide.
In "Without Feathers," Allen also takes to lampooning the concerns of the pseudo-intellectuals. "Sean O'Shawn, the great Irish poet, considered by many to be the most incomprehensible and hence the finest poet of his time," he writes in "The Irish Genius." Later, in "Slang Origins," Allen asks, "How many of you have ever wondered where certain slang expressions come from?...Neither have I," he responds.
In the film "Manhattan" (1979), Allen's character reacts harshly to others' pseudo-intellectual babble. And ironically, in "Stardust Memories," Allen's character (a film director resembling the real Allen) is criticized for his criticism and latent fear of intellectuals.
"Side Effects"
"Side Effects" compiles Allen's freelance writings from about 1975-1980. Although they are hilarious and fit into Allen's style, they don't parallel his films thematically.
During this time period, Allen's films began to shift from whimsical comedies to somewhat serious dramas--rather than string together random jokes and funny non-sequiturs, he focused on the story and began to experiment with more dramatic narrative. "Annie Hall" (1977) was his first film to combine these two forces, and the film most different in tone was the tragic "Interiors" (1978).
Nevertheless, check out an online copy of "Side Effects" at this site I found online.

5 Stocks Ready to Break Out
Allied Nevada Gold
My final breakout trading prospect is Allied Nevada Gold ( ANV), a gold mining company. This stock has been destroyed by the bears so far in 2013, with shares off sharply by 84%.
>>5 Stocks Poised to Pop on Bullish Earnings
If you look at the chart for Allied Nevada Gold, you'll notice that this stock has been downtrending badly for the last six months, with shares plunging lower from over $20 to its recent low of $3.54 a share. During that downtrend, shares of ANV have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of ANV recently saw some higher volume capitulation selling down to that $3.54 low. That could be marking a low for the stock, and shares have now started to uptrend in the near-term from $3.54 to its recent high of $4.82 a share. That rebound is starting to push shares of ANV within range of triggering a major breakout trade.Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ANV if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $4.82 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 4.02 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ANV will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at its 50-day moving average of $5.79 a share to $7 to $7.50 a share. Traders can look to buy ANV off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at $4.25 or that recent low of $3.54 a share. One could also buy ANV off strength once it clears that breakout level with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a conformable percentage from your entry point.

Dropping the F-Bomb May Be Good for You!
Researchers in England have discovered that swearing helps us cope with stress and pain. Say what?
Dr. Michelle Golland: So no wonder we moms are concerned about the amount of foul language we use in front of our children. Who is under more stress and yes, even in pain than a mom?! What group most needs to drop the F-bomb?
When we drop a sippy cup right on our toe and scream f@!*ck (my favorite profanity), it actually triggers our natural fight-or-flight stress response, which increases our pain tolerance. Let's face it -- a sippy cup right on the toe seriously hurts!
I knew that F@!*ck was my favorite profanity when my 2-year-old daughter, on a long driving trip with my mother, started to sing it over and over. Yes, imagine the most precious-faced little girl singing F@!*ck F@!*ck F@!*ckity F@!*ck! I quickly started to sing "duck duck duckity duck," which totally worked. I also desperately tried to stop saying it in front of her (loudly anyway).
The researchers also discovered that swearing is a hardwired response. It taps into the emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain, whereas most language production occurs in the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain. Linguistic researchers have found colorful language dating back over 5,000 years. They also believe strong language was a part of the earliest forms of oral communication. I can just see the cave mommies grunting now!
It seems that swearing is used in anger management and is underappreciated as a way to blow off some steam when under stress. Another research team from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, found that "Social" or "Annoyance" swearing can make the workplace more pleasurable and even strengthen bonds between employees.
This is why I have always liked the potty-mouthed mommies better because I felt more bonded with them if they also dropped the F-bomb when that cute little pink pacifier dropped on the dirty floor. We were actually bonding in our workplace!
Taboo language serves the needs of people maintaining and developing solidarity, and as a way to cope with stress. Swearing has replaced the primitive physical aggression that once may have been used as an effective relief mechanism. So rather than go back and punch the barista at Starbucks for screwing up your non-fat chai latte (again!), you can just say "Jesus" with a great robust emphasis on the "us" part (my other favorite bad mommy word).
My son is trying to help curb my profanity, mostly because I think he is embarrassed by it -- although I think he is secretly pleased that I too get in trouble for stuff. I am sure he will be telling his own therapists one day about his potty-mouthed psychologist mommy!
He recently told his sister to say "Cheezits" instead of the bad word Mom just blurted out (you know, "Jesus" with a heavy emphasis on "us"). I applauded him for his quick response to my inappropriate language as well as his creative rhyming skills. To the shock of the barista, I now do shout out "Cheezits" with a little smile when my latte is screwed up.
I will also bring in these studies to my son's future therapists, plead guilty, and break down in tears explaining that I was simply trying to relieve the stress of being a mom!

I swear everyday!
I as well have a potty mouth. My daughter, 5, does not say any bad words. I corrected her the first time she used it and explained it was a grown up word and provided her with the kid word to use such as crap, or butt. I did not laugh or get mad just very calmly explained.

Written by Angela Pietz
"Mein Lieblingsfilm ist Donnie Darko"; I wrote it in my year 10 German coursework and I'll write it again, because almost six years, and many more films later, it's still true.
I first saw the film during an eleven hour flight to South Africa. Donnie Darko was the strangest film that I'd ever seen and being drawn into it whilst tired, almost forced to watch it, only heightened the film's mood. I watched the film three times during that flight, to try and make sure that I'd made sense of the plot.
I was so blown away by the film because I'd never experienced anything that had both pandered to my 'teen-angst' and provided an interesting visual cinematic experience. As an added bonus, the fragmented plot gave me the guise of 'intellectual stimulation' beneath which to hide my shameful love of the film.
I concede that seeing the film when I was 15 must have had an impact on the degree to which I love it, but that doesn't mean that anyone who comes into contact with it after this point is forgiven for not appreciating what an enjoyable film it is to watch. Richard Kelly's montages aren't the same lazy time-fillers that you find in too many films these days, rather they provide interesting means of introducing the audience to characters and to situations. For instance, when Donnie arrives at school the camera floats around the building observing all the other teachers and students.
You can't fail to be compelled to watch Donnie Darko repeatedly, because the slightly ambiguous plot forces you to watch the film until you've made sense of what it means. It has the correct degree of ambiguity though, so it's not as surreal as many David Lynch films, which most mortals have to read plot summaries of before even attempting to watch them.
The best summary of Donnie Darko that I've come across is Tim Minchin's song about the film: there's time travel, parallel universes, attempts to explain theoretical physics, the concept of the misunderstood teenager as the unexpected hero, drugs, pre-marital sex, a teen suffering from a mental illness, a giant bunny rabbit named Frank, 1980s soundtrack, Patrick Swayze being made a fool of, fundamentalist Christians; as well as arson and an array of loveable supporting characters which have the most incredibly funny lines and catch-phrases.
One of the funniest snippets of dialogue in any film comes when some of the younger school girls are discussing the school being flooded:
"The boy's locker room was flooded and they found faeces everywhere!""What are faeces?""Baby mice.""Awww!"
There is more to Donnie Darko than there is in most teen-films. For instance, Donnie's relationship with his family - impressively in such a short film Kelly creates a feasible family dynamic, in which the strains of trying to understand and best deal with Donnie's mental illness are explored and exposed. Furthermore, the quality of acting is much better than in most teen films thanks to Kelly's choice of actors being based upon their willingness to engage with a low-budget, experimental project.
There will tragically be a sequel to Donnie Darko, called S.Darko as whilst the original film failed to break-even upon its first release, its status as a 'cult-classic' has prompted some daft studio into funding a sequel. I urge you all not to see the sequel. If you feel an insatiable thirst for all things Donnie Darko, then rather go to film's website, which is great fun to play around on and to engage more directly with the film. Overall I love Donnie Darko because I believe that it's an engaging, well-thought-out film, which explores concepts that I find interesting, whilst still succeeding to be very funny.

Wetland Classification and Environmental Monitoring in the Peace-Athabasca Delta using LANDSAT Digital Data
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Master of Science (MS)
Dr. P.J. Howarth
Through the use of LANDSAT digital date and automated image classification techniques, habitats of the Peace-Athabasca Delta region in northeastern Alberta were classified, and mapped, a number of change detection techniques evaluated, and the potential of using LANDSAT digital data in a long-term monitoring program assessed.
The General Electric Image 100 Multispectral Image Analysis system was used to conduct a supervised classification for a 1200 Km² test site centered on Mamawi Lake at the east end of the Delta complex. To provide optimum opportunity for detecting change and for testing the classification of habitats under differing conditions, two images, one with normal water levels (August 1, 1976) and one with above normal water levels (August 26, 1973), were selected for analysis. A total of eight habitats was identified for the 1976 data and seven for the 1973 date.
Classification accuracy of the 1976 habitats was considered excellent when compared with available ground reference data. Although ground reference data were not available for 1973, classification results are considered good. Spatial filtering of the classified scenes was found to improve the visual quality of the images, although only marginal improvements in classification accuracy resulted.
The classified scenes were found to be useful in delineating major topographic subdivisions within the Delta. These subdivisions can be used to identify areas most susceptible to change. Using an image registration technique, the 1973 and 1976 scenes were overlayed and two change detection analyses carried out. These were ratioing and post-classification change detection. Ratioing was found to be relatively fast and simple method for determining the areal extent of flooding and areas of major vegetation change. Post classification change detection was carried out for the entire study ares as well as 1/2 and 1/8 areas. The technique was found to be useful in identifying the nature of change, although further research is required before an evaluation of the absolute values generated in the analyses can be fully assessed.
It is anticipated that when extrapolated over the entire 37,500 Km² area of the Delta, the use of digital LANDSAT data will provide a relatively low cost and yet effective means of maintaining a current habitat map of the region, as well as providing an effective method for detecting and monitoring environmental change.

Where's the sugar?
Naturally occurring sugars are found in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Because these foods contain only modest amounts of sugar and have plenty of important nutrients, they are healthful.
Added sugars are the syrups and granules added to foods during processing or preparation or at the table. The most popular added sugar these days is high fructose corn syrup. It's produced from corn syrup (nearly pure glucose) that is treated with enzymes to convert some of the glucose to fructose; at the end, glucose is added back in, so the final product has a mix of glucose and fructose that is very similar to table sugar.
Naturally occurring sugars are healthful, but added sugars are another matter. If they help increase consumption of healthful foods like yogurt or milk, they can be an asset, but when they are used to sweeten candy, baked goods, or beverages, they do much more harm than good.
Added sugars add up
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average American consumed the equivalent of 25 teaspoons of sugar a day in 1970, but the number rose to nearly 29.8 teaspoons a day by 2005. That corresponds to a 19% increase in daily caloric intake (400 to 476), much of it from high-fructose corn syrup. Not coincidentally, America's waistline began to expand during this period, fueling our worrisome epidemic of diabetes. The table shows the major sources of added sugar; although all are a concern, soft drinks and other sugar- sweetened beverages stand out. In fact, the average American increased consumption of caloric soft drinks by 70% between 1970 and 2000.
Added sugar in the American diet
Percentage of all added sugars
Candy and table sugar
Cakes, pies, cookies
Fruit drinks

Sugar, risk factors, and the heart
It's clear that America has a sweet tooth, and new evidence suggests that sugar is bad for the heart. Although the culprits are simple sugars, their relationship to cardiovascular disease is not so simple, since it depends on cardiac risk factors.
Obesity is strongly linked to many health problems, ranging from heart disease and hypertension to arthritis and prostate cancer. In all, obesity and overweight account for about 300,000 deaths in the U.S. each year; that's about one of every 10 deaths. Obesity is a complex problem, with many possible causes. Still, there's no denying that excess caloric consumption is a prime contributor to obesity, and that added sugar is a major source of excess (and empty) calories. Between the 1970s and the 2000s, the average American adult's caloric intake jumped by some 500 calories a day, more than enough to account for the rise in obesity that occurred during these same years. The increased consumption of sugar accounts for more than 15% of the extra calories. Sugar-sweetened beverages (soft drinks, fruit drinks, energy drinks, and vitamin water drinks) are particularly culpable, since consumption has tripled over the past 30 years.
Type 2 diabetes has increased in parallel with obesity, and sugar sweetened beverages appear to play an important role. Three large studies that collectively evaluated over 160,000 women for up to 18 years provide the clearest evidence of the link. As compared with people averaging less than one sugar-sweetened beverage a month, those consuming one to three a day were 24% to 83% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. And a 2011 Harvard study of more than 40,000 men linked a high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages to a 24% increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes; the increased risk did not depend on obesity or total caloric intake.
Like obesity and diabetes, cholesterol is a major cardiac risk factor. In this case, though, there is only modest evidence that sugar boosts the leading suspect, LDL ("bad") cholesterol. But there is lots of evidence that a high intake of sugar is linked to two related risk factors, since it both lowers HDL ("good") cholesterol and raises triglycerides.
Blood pressure
The major dietary cause of hypertension is excessive sodium, or salt. Large amounts of alcohol and low amounts of calcium and potassium also play a role. Until recently, sugar has not gotten the disrespect it deserves, but two new studies should change that. A 2011 study of 2,696 adults in the U.S. and U.K. linked each daily serving of a sugar-sweetened beverage with a 1.6 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) rise in systolic and a 1.1 mm Hg rise in diastolic blood pressure readings. And a 2010 study of 810 adults found that the trend can be reversed. Over an 18-month period, people who cut out just one sugary drink a day lowered their systolic blood pressure by an average of 1.8 mm Hg and their diastolic pressure by 1.1 mm Hg; the benefit remained valid even after the researchers took body weight, caffeine, and other factors that influence blood pressure into account. These blood pressure improvements may not seem like much, but in an earlier study of dietary sodium and blood pressure, similar blood pressure reductions reduced the risk of cardiovascular events by 25% to 30%.
The metabolic syndrome
Individual cardiac risk factors are bad enough, but combinations are even worse. The metabolic syndrome is just such a cluster of risk factors, and it signals a sharp increase in the risk of heart attack and stroke.
To be diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome, a person needs to have just three of the following: abdominal obesity (waist circumference of 40 inches or more in men, 35 inches or more for women), high triglycerides (150 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL] or higher), low HDL cholesterol (below 40 mg/dL for men, below 50 mg/dL for women), a blood pressure of 135/85 or higher, and insulin resistance (a fasting blood sugar of 100 mg/dL or higher). Since sugar contributes to each of these problems, it's no surprise it increases the risk of the risky metabolic syndrome. In fact, a study of 6,039 middle-aged men and women found that people who averaged more than one soft drink a day were 44% more likely to develop the metabolic syndrome than those averaging less than one soft drink a day.
Heart attack
It's clear that large amounts of sugar are linked to an increase in cardiac risk factors. But does that translate into actual clinical events?
It does. A 24-year Harvard study of 88,520 female nurses tells the story. The women were between the ages of 34 and 59 and none had been diagnosed with heart disease when the study began. As compared with women who had fewer sugary drinks, women who averaged one a day were 23% more likely to have heart attacks, while those who consumed over two a day had a 35% higher risk. The results held up even after researchers accounted for other cardiac risk factors.

If you are feeling a little depressed about the election, this should perk you up. It did me.
Every time the wackos send up a spy drone the hunters blast it to Smithereens – got to be more fun than shooting birds.
NBC – Police are investigating an incident at a Berks County hunting club in which someone on the hunting grounds allegedly targeted a mechanical flying object rather than a living and breathing one.
SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) are in the midst of a campaign against the Wing Pointe commercial hunting grounds in Hamburg, Berks County and its live pigeon shoots in which the birds are shot down. SHARK began to use an "Octocopter," a remote controlled flying machine with a high tech video camera, to secretly record the pigeon shoots as they happen.

There are a lot of people who have some long term relationship with Nicaragua, usually the politics of the revolution or participation in humanitarian or environmental projects. They are bored or have run out of options in the states, and might as well live their dreams down here. Bring some money, start a business, or suck your pension money out of an ATM. To paraphrase Carl Franz, ¨Where ever you are, that´s where you´re at!¨
So there I was, copping Z´s in my comfy bed way before the gallinas and the air raid siren would normally wake me up, when all of a sudden ¨LET THE MUSIC BEGIN¨! Loud, clear, and unmistakably THERE.
Has fixed up its terminal in Managua. Gone is the world war three exterior, and the inside now looks like an airport, everything new and shiny, including the diner and the restrooms
1Mar 07, new Ticabus terminal in San Jose, a couple blocks from the big Scotia bank on the main drag.
Interesting day. After doing my rounds in town I stopped by the cybercafé to check my email and blow 10 cords on internet time. Ho, hum, magazine from Escapefromamerica.com had an article on crime in Chile. Since Chile is generally considered a safer place to live than anywhere in Central America, I thought I would check it out. It turned out to be a very interesting hands-on article about how to avoid being a crime victim.
This magazine has been around for years and is available in bookstores and supermarkets in Esteli. It will set you back a whopping 10 cords. It´s a good general interest magazine for the area and useful if you are studying Spanish because it tends to have different subject matter and vocabulary than a textbook.
Anyone know of any Tai Chi or qigong classes out there, especially in the Esteli area. )I´m not interested in yoga, just the Chinese arts)
For those new to travel in Central America, here are some hints for MONEY:
1) Cash, some is good. Come into country with some US dollars. Small bills are handy. You need a fiver to get through immigration, 8 if you are coming by bus from Costa Rica. Twenties are nice, hundreds can be hard to cash at times because people are afraid of counterfeits and are more willing to risk a 20 than a hundred. Bring in clean, untorn, unmarked bills because sometimes even banks will go hinky on you and refuse imperfect bills. Last trip I was in a hurry and wattled off the plane with $600-700 in greenbacks. This was rediculous and I was relieved when I had finally spent it down, which is hard to do in Nicaragua if you are as cheap as I am. You don't need to carry that much cash for casual travel and if you get robbed you are just rewarding the thieves. If you need more greenbacks while in country you can get them at a bank. This trip I will come and go with under $200, US and Nica combined.
Opened a savings account in usd's recently at the BDF branch in Esteli. No problems doing it, but plan on several hours to wrap it up.
First item, the clerk gave me 2 blank form letters of reference to be filled out by locals who have cedulas and have known me for at least one year. My immigration status was not asked.
Las Manos is the most direct route to Tegus and points north. It´s really just a wide spot in the road, much cluttered with parked semitrucks.
To cross you find the correct nondescript building that has 4 glass windows. The window to the south is where you check out of Nic. Then you go to the window to the north to check into Honduras. Don´t have a clue what the other 2 windows are for.
Before I speak on topics of importance, such as the traditional dress of Estelianas, let me get out some facts of use to anyone planning a trip to Miraflor Preserve near Esteli. This particularly applies to the rainy season.
Made a day trip to La Trinidad, a small town on the carreterra about 20 miles south of Esteli. Took the Bus from Contran Sur, an ordinario gowing to Managua but making stops all along the way.
The entrace to the town is a paved road with a statue at the beginning. It is right across the highway from the Texaco station. I followed the street through a pleasant little town with the usuall stores and puplerias. Overall it was pretty good looking with many paved roads and with many dirt crosstreets. At any given time it seemed that there was just about a 50/50 mix betwen cars and horses on the street.
Flew in on Continental Wednesday night. Plane was late getting off the ground in Vegas, but the flight from Houston to MGA was even later so me and my baggage connected just fine. About usd700 , I could have got about 100 bucks off on a redeye ,flight but my eyes are already red so I passed on that one.
Someone was looking for healthy living info in Spanish. MedlinePlus is very informational and I just noticed it has an icon to flip it into Spanish. Spanish edition has lengthy health topics, encyclopedia, and drug list.
Here are the web sites for the major guide books, helpful for someone making or contemplating a first trip. Check their websites to see what's available, then buy what you want directly, from Amazon or other online stores, or from your local book store.
Just got in the new edition of Moon Handbooks Nicaragua, which has a copywrite date of Nov., 05 carefully hidden in the back of the book. It's the one with the cover scene of a rural picture with some pink and red flowers in the fourground. Lists at $19.95 US, got it from Amazon.com for $12.97.

Hot Rod may be celebrating its 65th anniversary, but Ford's flathead V8, the engine that birthed the entire hot rod hobby (and, in due course, this magazine) first rolled off the production line 80-plus years ago in 1932. To mark both our anniversary and the flathead's, we decided to do the flathead engine story we've never seen: We dyno'd a dozen vintage-type aftermarket intakes at our favorite test facility, Westech Performance in Mira Loma, California.
H&H Flatheads' Mike Herman showed up with a truckload of intake manifolds that are still in production and commonly available, as well as a custom-built H&H flathead stroker engine (see "The Test Engine" sidebar, pg. 104). H&H has the rights to Navarro Racing Equipment's intakes and heads but also stocks brand-new, high-quality Stromberg 97 carbs and all competitors' heads and intakes. In fact, H&H can be considered your one-stop shop for anything Ford flathead–related, from individual parts to complete custom engine builds. And for you un-Ford guys, H&H also supports other oddball domestic vintage engines.
Only a modern dyno like Westech's SuperFlow 902 can accurately find small torque and power differences in a 160–200hp engine such as H&H's test mule. Westech's Steve Brulé was careful to stabilize the oil and water temp at the same point for all tests. As for the tune, all tests were run with 27 degrees total ignition advance, and the carbs were rejetted as needed to yield a 12.3:1 to 12.8:1 air/fuel at wide-open-throttle. Once each combo was optimized, the best two runs were averaged for the results reported in these pages. What's really interesting was that many of these ancient intakes—designed as they were without access to modern flow benches or airflow technology—perform quite well within the limitations of the flathead's design architecture. Read on to find out "who's on first."
We tested three different popular single four-barrel intakes—one each from Edelbrock, Navarro, and Offenhauser. Mounting a modern square-flange carb mandates a spacer, as all the intakes come drilled for the early Carter WCFB carb. In our case, the test carburetor was H&H's recommended Holley model 4160, 390-cfm, vacuum-secondary carb (PN 8007) with the secondaries wired wide open on the dyno.
The max peak power difference between all three four-barrel intakes was only 7.3 lb-ft and 4.8 hp at the peaks, with an overall average difference of just 6 lb-ft and 3.9 hp. Offenhauser proved to be the strongest single-quad intake.
On a flathead, it's hard to design a really effective single four-barrel intake on a par with offerings for modern V8s. The flathead's narrow-width intake manifold profile compromises equal runner lengths, cylinder-to-cylinder air/fuel distribution, and the runner-to-port angle. Because of these limitations, the single-quad intakes weren't up to the best "ancient" multicarb Stromberg 97 intakes.
Navarro Four-Barrel
A genius in his day, Barney Navarro made intakes that had the rep of being equal, if not better, than anything the "big names" could put up against them. Although several of Navarro's dual- and triple-carb offerings made the most power for their respective combos in our tests, the Navarro four-barrel intake was eclipsed by the other two four-barrel intakes tested.
Edelbrock Four-Barrel
A reproduction of the vintage Edelbrock No. 452 two-piece manifold with a new carburetor flange and a tall spacer, this intake's performance bettered the Navarro by 4.9 lb-ft and 3.2 hp at the peaks and 4.1 lb-ft and 2.6 hp on average.
Offenhauser Four-Barrel
Offenhauser did its homework on this one. It edged out the Edelbrock by 2.4 lb-ft and 1.6 hp at the peaks and also slightly bested that intake across the board with a 1.3 hp and 1.9 lb-ft average output increase. It was able to more than hold its own against several of the twin-carb intakes as well.
Using Offy's preferred four-hole, ½-inch spacer (front; PN 4006, $40 at H&H) in place of the tall Edelbrock spacer (under carb) with a street Holley carb on a '49–'53 motor would require a manual choke and cut-down throttle linkage.
H&H says twin Stromberg 97 setups are the most popular choice among flathead traditionalists, and manifolds for them are available in a bunch of configurations. We tested six: a Thickstun, an Offenhauser, an Edelbrock, and three Navarros. Stromberg 97s flow 162 cfm at 1.5 inHg—the same pressure drop used to measure a four-barrel's airflow—so running them in a twin configuration yields 362 cfm. That's seemingly lower than a 390-cfm Holley four-barrel used in the single-carb tests, but four out of six twins outperformed the quad intakes in our tests. We feel that's because the best of the twin intakes develop superior fuel distribution within the confines of the flathead's narrow intake envelope.
There was a much wider spread between the poorest performing and the strongest dual-carb intakes compared with the four-barrel manifolds. There was also no undisputed winner in the twin category. The Edelbrock Slingshot and Navarro Racing manifolds are both very good units. However, at the opposite end of the scale, two of the manifolds—the 2x2 Thickstun and the 2x2 Navarro regular—did not match the performance of the best single four-barrel intakes.
Thickstun 2x2 PM-7
The tunnel-ram–like Thickstun twin intake sure looks like it's ready to kick ass and take names. Sadly, it was not to be. Weaker upstairs than the four-barrel intakes, it gave away 13.2 hp to the Offy, 11.6 hp to the Edelbrock, and even 8.4 hp to the Navarro. It was no great shakes in torque output, either. We have to say there are other, better choices out there unless you're just into profilin'.
2x2 Navarro Regular
The Navarro Regular's closely spaced carbs clear the stock generator but forsake optimum fuel distribution in doing so. It makes about the same average power and torque numbers as the Offy four-barrel; at the peaks, it developed 2.7 more lb-ft, but 3 less horsepower. Overall, Offy's four-barrel intake was stronger on top. Compared with the Thickstun twin, there is no comparison: The Navarro Regular was worth 5.2 lb-ft and 10.9 hp at the peaks and 7.8 lb-ft and 6.0 hp on average.
2x2 Offenhauser Regular Dual
Superficially, Offy's layout appears similar to the Navarro Regular. However, the version we tested (PN 1075) was specifically designed to fit '49–'53 models, which allowed Offy to move the carbs 1-inch further forward compared to the Navarro regular. This relocation was worth 2.8 more peak horsepower over the Navarro Regular but at the cost of 1.2 lb-ft less torque. Overall, the Offy had slightly better overall average power and torque numbers. The Navarro's numbers were better from 3,200 rpm and down; the Offy was better from 3,300 on up. And, yes, this twin made better numbers than Offy's single four-barrel intake.
2x2 Navarro Universal
Compared with the Navarro Regular, the Navarro Universal widens the carb spacing for a more direct shot to the ports. The Universal is stronger than the Regular from 3,600 rpm on up and is worth 8.1 peak horsepower on the top end. However, the Regular makes 5.9 lb-ft more torque. Similarly, at the peaks the Universal makes 5.3 more horsepower than the Offenhauser Regular Dual but gives away 5.8 lb-ft—yet overall average output compared with the Offy is nearly a wash. It's a classic case of shorter runner lengths skewing the curve higher.
It's not every day that Westech runs a Ford flathead. Linking it to the dyno's absorber is courtesy of a Wilcap adapter that connects a '49–'54 Ford Flathead 8BA block bellhousing to Westech's existing hookup plate with its GM Muncie/Saginaw-style manual-trans bolt pattern and pilot.
Edelbrock Slingshot
Among the first ever hot rod parts, the famous Edelbrock Slingshot still ranks among the best flathead intakes out there. Although the Navarro 2x2 Universal and Navarro 2x2 Racing dual made slightly more top-end power, the venerable Edelbrock produced more peak torque, as well as more overall average power and torque. The Edelbrock is the best dual-carb intake we tested through 3,900 rpm—and it also clears the stock generator. At the lower half of the test rpm range, the Edelbrock would also go on to outperform two out of the three triple-carb intakes.
2x2 Navarro Racing
If you want max top-end power with dual Strombergs, don't care if the stock generator fits, and aren't concerned about quick warm-ups (there's no heat-riser provision), this is the one you want. It made more top-end power and torque from 4,000 rpm on up than any of the other duals and had the best peak power numbers. The race unit's flat, top-end power curve generated more than 180 hp from 4,400 through 4,700 rpm. Compared with the Navarro 2x2 Universal—which has the same wide carb spacing and runner layout plus a street-friendly heat riser—the race version is worth 2.2 hp and 3.7 lb-ft at the peaks and 1.9 hp and 2.8 lb-ft on average. The Navarro pounded out 21.2 more horsepower than the Thickstun twin. It also gained 8.0 hp over Offy's four-barrel intake.
Two Strombergs not enough? Try three, for 486 cfm of flow plus a more direct shot to the cylinders. We tested three of them: an Edelbrock, an Offenhauser, and a Navarro. All made more peak power than the Navarro Racing twin. The best triple—the 3x2 Navarro—gained 13.8 peak horsepower and 4.1 hp over the 2x2 Navarro Racing. The Edelbrock Slingshot's low-end numbers still reigned supreme, however. In general, the tri-power combos shifted the torque and power peaks slightly higher. From the lowest to the strongest triple combo—Edelbrock versus Navarro—the peak spread was 13.0 hp and 5.5 lb-ft. All carbs were run wide open on the dyno, but for street driving they can be set up with optional progressive linkage. An adapter bracket is needed if any of these intakes will be run with a stock generator.
New Stromberg carbs are once again being made. Several companies offer Stromberg lookalikes, but H&H says the best, most reliable, and least troublesome are the real Strombergs made by the re-formed company, now from England. H&H stocks only the real McCoy.
3x2 Edelbrock
Edelbrock's repop of its vintage triple Stromberg intake proved a tad stronger than the Navarro 2x2 Racing, but Big E's own Slingshot actually outperformed it on average down-low as well as in max-torque output. Still, the 3x2 Edelbrock exceeded 180 hp from 4,400 rpm through 4,900 rpm.
3x2 Offenhauser
Offy's triple-deuce intake gained 4.5 hp and 2.6 lb-ft at the peaks and 2.2 hp and 2.8 lb-ft on average over the Edelbrock 3x2. The power peaks occurred 100 to 200-rpm higher. It was superior to every previously tested intake except in the case of the Slingshot's low-end numbers. There are different versions; order by the engine's model year. All include generator adapter brackets.
There are those who claim Barney Navarro broke the mold when he made this intake, and the numbers we saw back that claim up. The 3x2 Navarro is the overall best intake out of the 12 we tested. It made the best peak numbers, the best overall average numbers, and the best average numbers upstairs, being eclipsed only by the Edelbrock Slingshot dual on the low end. The 3x2 Navarro proved to be worth 8.5 hp and 4.7 lb-ft over the Offy triple, 13 hp and 5.5 lb-ft over the Edelbrock triple, and 13.8 hp and 8.1 lb-ft over the 2x2 Navarro racing manifold.
The best overall intake—Navarro's 3x2 triple—proved to be worth 16.4 lb-ft over the Navarro four-barrel intake. The Thickstun dual had the lowest peak power and the lowest average torque and power numbers; compared to it, the 3x2 Navarro gained 35 peak horsepower and 21.4 lb-ft in overall average torque, and 16.7 in overall average horsepower. In percentage terms, the 3x2 Navarro's 194.5 peak horsepower output represents about a 22 percent power gain compared with the Thickstun. However, if you're looking for great low-end performance with a broad overall power curve, the vintage Edelbrock Slingshot still kicks butt.
Best Single Four-Barrel Intake: Offenhauser Single Carburetor Four-Throat
Best Dual Carb Intake (Tie): Edelbrock Slingshot (broadest powerband) or 2x2 Navarro Racing (most top-end power)
Best Triple Carb Intake and Best Overall: 3x2 Navarro
The test mule was H&H's most popular Ford flathead engine combo—a 1⁄8-inch-over, 1⁄8-inch-stroker that, with its 3.313-inch bore x 4.125-inch stroke, displaced 284 ci. The engine was stuffed with good internals, including Ross forged pistons, Scat forged H-beam rods, and a Scat cast crank held in place by steel main caps. With 280 degrees advertised duration, 0.380-inch lift, and a 111-degree lobe-separation angle, H&H's custom solid cam was plugged in straight-up, actuating 1.5/1.5-inch Manley Pro-Flow stainless valves via hollow-body adjustable lifters and Isky springs. The valves close against unleaded fuel–compatible, hardened, replaceable seats and ride in one-piece valve guides. With H&H's own Navarro 65cc, high-compression aluminum heads, compression comes in around 8.8:1. An MSD ready-to-run, all-electronic distributor fires the plugs. Center-dump Red's Headers exhaust the spent mixture. A Melling standard oil-pump and stock-truck 5-quart oil pan filled with Valvoline VR1 Racing 20W-50 oil keeps everything alive.
With the best intake—the 3x2 Navarro—the H&H 284 test mule came up just 5 hp shy of cracking the 200hp mark on Westech's dyno. The generator is nonfunctional here, merely serving as a belt tensioner. Compared with the more familiar overhead valve engines, intake swaps on the flattie took only minutes.

Please , help a woman who dreams daily of living in your beautufil country with such wonderful people. Thanks so much for reading my posts. CIAO...about 2 years ago

Oh I would swap with you in a minute. I would do it happily. I wish we could do that. I would love nothing more than to be in Italy. I worked there once and fell in love with your country..I have looked at so many aupair and nanny sites. I cannot find anything. Probably because I am more mature and no longer a teen. I am also a housekeeper a very good one. I love to cook, and I have worked for ten years as a Senior Caregiver to the elderly who cannot care for themselves BUT my only dream is to be able to live in ITaly. I will not be truly happy until this happens. I am so happy to hear from you. I would really like to keep in touch if you like.
