Granite Gear Hiker Wallet
This great little product may seem unnecessary, but it will grow on you! I recommend the Hiker Wallet to anyone that goes into the backcountry that doesn't want to carry their big heavy wallet! Okay, I admit it—this was an impulse buy! But I am happy that I bought it! This is a great little product from Granite Gear that I have been using for several years now. It's one of those things that isn't really necessary, but you'll be glad you have it. After I purchased it, I thought "Well this is silly. Full review
Ozark Trail Waterproof Cell Phone Dry Bag
Bought this product at a local WalMart and it was supposed to be waterproof...put the receipt inside and dunked it in a glass of water and it was NOT waterproof!!! Extremely disappointed in this product! I purchased this product because I am going on a cruise and there will be several excursions that I go on that are in the water. This product was supposed to be a cell phone dry bag that I was to carry a cell phone and money and important documents in to keep with me during these water events. I… Full review
E-Case eSeries 9.5
Watertight, easy to close, doesn't interfere with phone's capacitive touch features nor camera. Hard to see through case when using around salt water (dried salt deposits do wash off easily however). This case is water tight (I've only tested it in 5 foot swimming pools, tested for about an hour, bone dry phone inside) and easy to close (think large ziplock bag). Capacitive touch works perfect through case's plastic. My phone actually seems to respond better when it is touch through this case. Love… Full review
Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack
Very sturdy and well made, straps didn't get all tangled, compressed nicely, and kept sleeping bags clean and dry. Used these compression dry sacks on a recent 11-day trip to BWCA. We couldn't be happier with our purchase. They kept our sleeping bags dry and clean, were easy to stuff due to the interior coating, compressed nicely, and the straps didn't get all tangled up. They show no sign of wear after much abuse. Full review
Travelon Clear View Waterproof Pouch
We specifically purchased four for our current Orlando visit (think water park and swimming pools). We only used one day so far, in Typhoon Lagoon. Well, it worked for three phones, but my daughter's HTC One's bag allowed water sometime within 3 hours of use and almost ruined her phone. We tested these out the night before the first use and all seemed good, so I think it must be the seal that failed. Full review
SealLine Baja Dry Bag
Favorite so far. I have several dray bags and sacks of various brands, sizes and styles. Although I haven't used them for many years, my favorite so far is the SealLine and my favorite of my two Seal Lines is the Baja. Forms a great seal and always seems to have a tight roll and closure.

Travelon Clear View Waterproof Pouch
It ruined my phone: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CASE I used it twice and it worked okay. It wasn't easy to use the phone like they claim it is. The third time I used it I sealed it exactly how you're supposed to and noticed water was getting on my phone. I think it was condensation being that the phone is electronic and it gets hot. If you're going to use this around water you shouldn't. You need to get one of the hard huge cases because this pouch is so thin I didn't even think about it. The design is… Full review
Luke's Ultralite Accessory Pouch #2
The first waist belt pocket I've found that I can easily access with my waist belt buckled. Roomy, virtually waterproof, and well-made. I have purchased many different backpack waist belt pockets in my quest for one that fit my needs and desires: Zpacks, Gossamer Gear, Zimmerbuilt, EXIT, MLD, Elemental Horizons, and the pockets that are part of the HMG waist belt. My main frustration with all of them was that to keep them from sliding around it was usually necessary to anchor them near where the… Full review

From SingleEdition
If you're too tired to put out, timid about how you taste, or looking to amplify your orgasms, then it is time to rethink your diet. It's a new year after all, and though you may be getting bombarded with diet advice by a sobbing Valerie Bertinelli or a crooning Toni Orlando, nothing can come good from those chemically infused high sodium foods they are peddling, no matter how happy you are for these favorite old timers.
Fight Fatigue: You pride yourself on the fact that the "I am too tired" routine is for married folks, yet a few extra years (or pounds, pets, drugs, taxes or divorce) have you sound asleep by nine? Eat foods that are packed with Thiamin, the B1 Vitamin, as it is a spark plug for the body. This is especially important for women taking birth control pills, which can prevent the body's proper conversion of this vitamin. So, swap out the Red Bull for sunflower seeds, tuna or black eyed peas to keep energy levels stable.
Strip Stress: Dating angst and pre-coital jitters causing stiffness in all the wrong places? Then it's time to up your intake of calcium and magnesium, which have soothing properties that relax muscle fibers in every part of the body and help to keep blood pressure at bay. Fortified orange juice, swiss chard, halibut and spinach are the most potent elixirs in this category.
Slake Sadness: Most people fail to realize that erection problems, disinterest in sex and difficulty reaching orgasm can be directly associated with depression. But studies indicate that the right amount of Omega-3 fatty acids and/or a nutrient called Uridine can help banish the blues. Adding foods like walnuts, salmon and sugar beets to your regimen can help boost levels of serotonin ("the love hormone") so you are more likely to feel content and optimistic, which can make you feel more sexually responsive overall.

SAVANNAH -- Providence Christian's baseball team got on the bus three times before it actually made the drive from the hotel to the field in Savannah.
Then the Storm waited on the bus for the go-ahead to play Game 3 of their first-round playoff series Saturday.
They were determined to get the game in and burst out of the gates once the game finally started.
Providence (17-12) hammered Savannah 10-0 in six innings to advance in the Class A playoffs.
Max Broom got a hit on the first pitch of the game and the Storm were off and running. They scored six runs in the first inning and never looked back.
Quite a turnaround after losing 9-0 in Game 2 on Friday night.
"We played pretty poorly in Game 2 and they were a little down," head coach Adam Cantrell said. "I let them moan and groan until they got to the showers. Then I told them they needed to look to (Saturday)."
Saturday's game was a challenge to get in because of all the rain.
After several delays, they finally got started around 4:30 p.m. and the teams played in a steady rain all game.
"I was really impressed with how they got the field ready," Cantrell said. "It played pretty well."
Jackson Winskie pitched all six innings for the Storm and allowed just two hits in the shutout. He struck out four.
Broom finished the game 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored. Charlie Scott (two RBIs, run) and Steven Kleinschmidt (RBI, two runs) were both 2-for-4.

Gunner to WWE
Despite being embroiled in a bit of a controversy with a fan at an independent wrestling show, there appears to be some interest from WWE towards Gunner. The former TNA star stated that it was his dream to work in the biggest wrestling promotion in the world and that there are some talks going on between the two sides. However, he stopped at confirming that they were anywhere close to signing a developmental contract.
October 5, 2015
WWE signs Shield
During a recent interview, Seth Rollins revealed that Joey Mercury was the person that was responsible for getting him a developmental contract with WWE. The world heavyweight champion also revealed that Mercury was also instrumental in getting a deal done for Dean Ambrose. Your backstage stroke in the company rises tremendously if you are able to find two main event performers from the independent wrestling circuit.
September 27, 2015
Jeff Hardy fired
In case you missed Impact Wrestling this week, Ethan Carter fired Jeff Hardy because he refused to obey his command. That has led to speculation within the internet wrestling community that he could be leaving TNA. That is not the case at this moment. The segment was being done to generate interest, which it has, and to set up a big match between Hardy and Carter later on. Hardy is still under contract to Total Nonstop Action.
September 24, 2015
Kenny King leaves TNA
In a move that doesn't come as a shock to many, Kenny King has apparently left TNA. No details have been revealed, but he showed up at the ROH pay per view this week. His previous contract allowed him to work Impact Wrestling episodes and on independent wrestling shows that are not being televised. Showing up in Ring of Honor is a sign that he is no longer working for Total Nonstop Action.
September 19, 2015
Impact Wrestling extension
While nothing has been officially confirmed, there is speculation circulating that TNA has signed a contract extension with Destination America. It is said to be a short term deal, so that the two sides can continue negotiations without having to take Impact Wrestling off the air. The belief is that the network wants a more favorable deal with Dixie Carter because advertisers simply are not biting.
September 19, 2015
Impact Wrestling being shopped
Since their television contract is expiring soon, TNA is shopping Impact Wrestling to various networks. They are trying to gauge interest in their weekly wrestling show. That does not mean that they are completely done with Destination America. Dixie Carter is still negotiating a new deal with the network. However, it is just a smart move to see what other offers are on the table.
September 18, 2015
Impact Wrestling contract
Throughout most of this year, the internet wrestling community was under the assumption that Destination America was going to be canceling Impact Wrestling in September. The month is already here, and no announcement has been made by the network. Dixie Carter revealed during a recent interview that TNA is under contract until the end of the years. Negotiations for 2016 are ongoing, she said.
September 16, 2015
Kurt Angle at Bound For Glory
From the moment that Kurt Angle took some time away from TNA to remove a tumor in his neck, the internet wrestling community has been wondering if and when he would be making a return to the company. Speculations were fired up this week, as Angle revealed that he was not signing a contract extension. However, it has now been revealed that Angle would be returning during the Bound For Glory weekend.
September 10, 2015
Kurt Angle leaving TNA
If Kurt Angle wanted to create a buzz with the internet wrestling community, then he accomplished it with his latest interview. The former world heavyweight champion stated that he was not going to renew his contract with TNA when it expires. He had nothing but good things to say about the company and wished them well. Angle simply wants to take some time off from professional wrestling.
September 9, 2015
Devon bashes TNA
Apparently, there may be some backstage heat between Devon and TNA. While responding to a fan through social media, he asked the person to not use the word impact, which of course is a reference to Impact Wrestling, because it brings up a lot of bad dreams. The angst could be due to the fact that management opted to not bring him back when his contract expired.

11-30-2013, 07:53 AM #1New to site - just ordered my first MBP!
Hi everyone, just joined. Waiting for my new MacBook Pro but have used iPad iPhone for years. Couldn't really afford the MBP but thought hey you only live once and went for it. It replaces my Windows 8 laptop. One initial question, will it be a simply process moving my photo library from my current machine to the MBP. Also how do I move my iTunes library from one to another? Looking forward to the MBP arriving and wife probably won't see me for a week after :-)

Congratulations! You will love it. As to moving pictures or music, I am sure there are several ways but what I did was format a USB hard drive (or a flash drive will work too) in Windows using the extFAT option. Both windows 8 and your new Mac will read it. I am not that familiar with iTunes and if it redownloads purchases made at the iTunes Store but I believe it does???
Compared to Windows 8, Mavericks is a dream. It is so much smoother. I have a laptop with Windows 8 and I just don't get the hype. I will either role it back to 7 or maybe promote it to being a hackintosh and install Mavericks.
I am sure others will have advice too. Enjoy!
Thanks for the advice Lisa. The issue with iTunes is that I loaded lots of old CDs into my library so it's not just purchased stuff that I need to move. I'll search the forum to find out how this is done. Regards, Adam

Hi Asmith... - welcome to the forum & congrats on a new MBPro!
I was in this same situation back in March, i.e. new rMBP and old Dell laptop - there is a 'Migration Assistant' app in Lauchpad (in the 'Other' folder) that you may want to use (icon is attached).
But, I just wanted to transfer my Documents, Pictures, and Music, so I simply used an external HD and put the data in the appropriate files on the new laptop. My music contained mainly ripped CDs and some purchases - had to do a little re-organizing in iTunes but works for me. Good luck! Dave
Thanks Dave, will give it a try and hopefully all will go smoothly! Rgds, Adam

Because the family has only seasonal income, Salome decided to start a shoe-trading business and seek credit among local financial institutions. However, her attempts were unsuccessful because of her poor living conditions. The Startup program, which is a joint initiative between Kiva and Credo, enables rural poor and inexperienced people to get a loan for starting or re-starting businesses. Her application was approved under the framework of this program to receive a loan of $2000. With the credit, Salome will purchase a stock of shoes and then resell them at a good price. She plans to go to Turkey and purchase the products at wholesale prices and then resell among her friends and villagers. This will give her a chance to earn income and become financially independent. Thanks to the the Startup program Salome will be able to make savings and provide a better future for herself and her family.

I'd like to ask for the more advanced sewers' advice on choosing patterns: What has experience taught you in choosing patterns? How do you know there is a problem in a pattern? Can you look at a pattern and say right away "That's trouble"
Much thanks for the advice!
------Absolute beginner. Hoping to move up to Advanced Beginner in 6 months. Have a TON of fabric to work through.
Once you've sewn a few patterns, you'll begin to recognize when pattern pieces look too boxy, or armholes are too deep. One big favor you can do for yourself is measure and write down dimensions from some of your favorite clothes - measure across the shoulders, get a pretty good estimate of the bust measurement on blouses and knit tops, get a rough idea of what a comfortable armhole looks like, measure some skirts at the waist and 8-10" below. When a pattern includes enough ease that it's nowhere near the measurements you've written down, be very suspicious and consider dropping down a size. Carry those measurements in your wallet (or your head), too; they are a great help when you're shopping for RTW. After you've sewn a few things, you'll develop an instinct for what doesn't look right.
And don't overlook PR, perhaps starting with the Best Patterns of 2012 or 2013. When a pattern has 118 reviews, you can be pretty sure that achieving a good result is possible. Read through the reviews to see if everyone dropped down a size, or lengthened the skirt. It's likely that the garments of popular patterns didn't wind up as a bed for the kids' gerbil.
Beginners are kind of caught in a trap: the patterns that are the best-fitting are the ones with the least helpful instructions. Buy yourself a couple of Jalie or StyleArc patterns for the RTW-type fit, but get a book or two about constructions techniques to supplement the pattern instructions.
Good luck. We need new sewers to carry on the tradition - and help keep fabric stores open.
-- Edited on Today at 7:22 PM --
------�Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.� -Robert Heinlein and Ann's father. Thanks for the reminder, Ann.
Where are we going, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
Matthew 25:40 (New International Version)
The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Well, first you need to know what styles/cuts look and feel the best on you. This is different for everyone - even 2 people with the exact same measurements and body type may feel more comfortable in completely different options. Too closely fitted can be a disaster, but a blouse or dress that looks like you are wearing the bag it came in isn't any better. Something with a bit of design ease, in a silhouette you know you like is best to start with.
Then a peek at the construction order and techniques can be useful. I will pull the instructions our of a pattern envelope while at the store, especially to choose between patterns. As a beginner, you should be able to understand what is going on. If you don't, the pattern may be a stretch for your current skills - perhaps frustratingly so. Once you start to build up skills, there may be part of the construction (or the order) that you don't agree with. Better to move on and look for something similar from another brand.
Also look at the list of pattern pieces, and how many are needed for each view. Does it make sense how they fit together (or at least most of them)? If there are too many, each seam is another chance to make a mistake. Are you willing to spend that much time with your seam ripper? LOL And if you know the adjustments you usually need to make - can they easily be done with these pieces? I usually grade out a size or 2 between the bust and hips, need a narrow shoulder adjustment, sometimes a minor FBA, and usually shorten between waist and shoulder somewhere (it varies as to whether it's above or below the bust), and shorten between waist and hip as well.
Then the point where most beginners make the worst mistake. Choosing the fabric. This can make or break a pattern. Sometimes even the "recommended" fabrics on the envelope are wrong for it! And even the best pattern will look like a dud in the wrong fabric. If it needs body, a flowy fabric is wrong, if there is too much or not enough stretch or weight or something else, the result will look bad on anyone.
I would suggest trying to stick to the recommended fabrics until you gain more experience. The wrong fabric choice can doom the project from the start.
Stick to silhouettes that have worked for you in the past. If an empire waist has not worked for you in RTW, don't be thinking you can make it work in a pattern.
Definitely check out the reviews here. You can learn a lot by seeing the experiences others have had. And don't be afraid to message someone if you have a question. People here are happy to help.

Summer 2015 Honors Colloquia
Practical communication for all majors
Stacia Marie Smilek, [33725] 1870:250-403, INT, MWTh 9:30AM-1:00PM HC 092
This course will teach students that regardless of their major or intended career that Communication has an important place. The course will teach students how to properly communicate in several different contexts, all of which will directly relate to their everyday lives and potential careers. Students will complete a variety of projects where they will put into practice the specific skills that are being taught in the classroom.
Social Science
TV, Radio, Internet...oh my!
Carrie A. Tomko, [33731] 1870:360-401, INT, TuTh 10:00am-3:30PM HC 083
Communication is key in this fast-paced society with TV, radio, and the internet bringing instantaneous news, information, and entertainment. The mass media brings global topics from across the world close to home. What are the current events covered in the news? What content is shared? Beyond content, what underlying messages are generated in mass media messages?
This colloquium will engage students by examining current event coverage in conjunction with communication theories in order to critically analyze what we are seeing and hearing in the media. This course will focus particularly on issues of diversity, gender, and other controversy, and how these dynamics play out in the media. An emphasis will be placed on classroom discussion, welcoming personal opinions on TV, radio, and internet coverage of current events. Watch it! Discuss it! Be a student of the world around us!
Motivation and Emotion: A Journey through Failure and Gain Success in Academics, Career, and Personal Life.
Renee Mudrey-Camino, [33746] 1870:360-406 5W2, TuTh 5:45PM-8:15PM HC 82
Seminar Description
The course is a broad overview of the growing field of motivation and emotion. Although
much of the course will focus on the study of affective science from a social-personality
perspective, motivation and emotion are interdisciplinary fields so the course will cover neurobiological, developmental, and cognitive research in these areas. We will take a broad look at the ways in which emotions have been studied within psychology, and will particularly focus on major questions in the area, such as: What is an emotion? What are the necessary parts of emotion? What is the difference between emotions and other affective states, such as mood? What is the role of cognition in emotion? What is the role of emotion in motivation and career success/failure?
The course will examine evolutionary views of emotions, and the role of culture in shaping
emotional experiences and behaviors will also be examined. Throughout the course, students will
be encouraged to think about emotions from a functionalist perspective, asking either how a
given emotion works proximally in social life such as dating, or what its more distal, evolved function might be.
Other specific topics that we will cover include the self, judgment and decision making, emotion
expression, emotion regulation, discrete vs. dimensional views of affect, emotions and
personality, and appraisal theories of emotion.
Natural Sciences
Global Environmental Issues
Dunbar, Michael, [32461]1870:470-402 5W1, TuTh 9:00AM-11:30AM Kolbe Hall 205
The Earth is now home to over 7 billion human beings. During the semester we'll be exploring how our presence on the planet has impacted the natural resources, its environment, and offer a prognosis for the future. Our discussions and debates will examine topics such as how our actions and technology have impacted the Earth's climate, biodiversity, natural resources, and technology, to name a few.
Science, Medicine, and Industry
Kevin Kaut, [33202] 1870:470-405, INT, TuWTh 1:00-4:30pm HC 082
Human health and wellness—and naturally the treatment of disease—rely on scientific advances. Scientific research is the foundation for our understanding of the seemingly countless known (and yet to be known) issues that challenge our health and functioning across the lifespan. In this natural science colloquium, we will explore some of the remarkable advances in the modern scientific era, and consider the important (and sometimes difficult) synergies among those representing the best interests of research, medicine, industry, and even politics. By considering noteworthy examples throughout history (e.g., HIV-AIDS; 'sleeping sickness'; pre-symptomatic genetic testing; prefrontal lobotomies; psychoactive drugs) we will better appreciate the complex issues that enhance—and impede—progress in understanding and treating the human condition. Through brief lectures, discussion, film, and invited speakers, this natural science colloquium is intended to sample from a variety of scientific 'challenges', with the overarching goal of better understanding the multidimensional nature of physical and mental health. Although scientific research will typically be the focus of our discussions, we will often attempt to examine the complex political, financial, and social-emotional factors that fuel the greatest of scientific accomplishments (e.g., Nobel laureates) and less well understood 'failures' in science and medicine.

Jan 2 - Dr. King's 'I Have a Dream Speech' Turns 50 in 2013; Obama Inauguration on MLK Day
|3 years ago
|class of '13 - away - #1

2013 is the year that Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech turns 50.
A half-century ago, it was a radical notion that a black man in America could have any kind of big dream at all, outside the realms of sports, music and entertainment.
Yet on Monday, January 21, 2013, which is Martin Luther King Day, we will see the second term inauguration of America's first-ever black president. Talk about historical synergy.
Toward the end of this speech, Dr. King envisioned an improbable goal, "to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."
Now, that's what I call a New Year's resolution.
2013: A Year of Landmark Civil Rights Anniversaries
In fact, this year there are several important civil rights anniversaries. 2013 marks, among others: the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation (1863).
150th anniversary of the placement of the Statue of Freedom atop the Capitol Dome (1863).
50th anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" speech (1963).
50th anniversary of the murder of NAACP leader Medgar Evers and riots in Birmingham after the murder of four girls at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church (1963).
the inauguration of the first black American president to his second term (2013).
And, as a reminder of the sometimes-terrible costs of change, 2013 is also the 50th anniversary of the a.ssassination of another young president, JFK.

'Don't ring me when I'm out robbing'
When officers picked up Stuart Gibbs hiding in the shed of a house he was intending to burgle, they checked his phone for any potential clues. They could hardly believe their luck when they saw a message sent to a friend two hours earlier which said: "Ive told you 20 times dont ring me when Im out robbing." The 24-year-old father of two was jailed for 18 months at Leicester Crown Court after admitting attempted burglary. He also pleaded guilty to a string of other offences including dangerous driving, driving when disqualified, handling stolen goods and possessing cannabis. The court was told that officers were called to the house in Leicester after a neighbour reported seeing two men in the garden. They arrived to find nothing had been taken but a back-door window had been smashed, causing about $A600 damage.

In Creative Arts Research (CAR), which should not be about how artist's do research (everyone does research, including my eight year old daughter into her Smiggle purchases), but about how creative practice becomes academic research, that is research recognised as research within universities. There are a couple of things to get your head around here.
The debate is not whether art is research, or not, or whether I can write 'differently' or not (you can), but whether and how it constitutes academic research. Academic research is instrumentalised knowledge that contributes to an identifiable academic community of practice (yes, that is tautological, as all academic fields are, the field does define itself). The question or problem then becomes one of how to instrumentalise what I am claiming as knowledge in my creative practice or artefact. It is instrumentalised knowledge because, in the context of CAR, knowledge needs to be extracted/contextualised/made explicit from the implicitness of material thinking and making so that its specific knowledge claims can be recognised and used by others. This lets CAR then move from an argument or discussion about aesthetic merit of the work (which is not and can't be an academic research claim in itself) to one about knowledge claims. Research knowledge claims need to be evidenced, contestable, and to be propositional (they make claims about something else, not just themselves) to be a research knowledge claim. Art does not need to do any of these things to be art (in can do these things, but it doesn't have to), whereas academic research has to do each of these three things, every time, to be research.
The problem of how knowledge becomes visible so that it can be used by others in academic contexts is a different problem than whether or not something contains knowledge.

"Not to scare the people, but it is true that there is an assassination plot against the president."
Related quotes
"We condemn this crime, this assassination which only serves to increase the strength and unity of the Palestinian people."
"To people who remember JFK's assassination, JFK Jr. will probably always be that boy saluting his father's coffin,"
"It would make people more comfortable if I made a film that said all targeted assassination is bad, or good, but the movie doesn't take either of those positions. It refuses to. Many of those pundits on the Left and Right would love the film to land somewhere definite. It puts a real burden on the audience to figure out for themselves how they feel about these issues. There are no easy answers to the most complex story of the last 50 years."
"The government strongly condemns this assassination and believes that the only people who benefit from this are those who want to block the course of justice and move the trial out of Iraq ."
"This is a criminal act, a political assassination and a continued Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people."
"The main message is that in a democracy, [assassination] is not the means to change policy, ... Unfortunately, the assassin was right: for a while, there was a freeze in process."

S-shaped Transition and Catapult Effects
Among the rich economies of the world today, per capita output levels had diverged before converging to the per capita output level of the frontier economy. Since frontier economies have grown at stable rates, non-frontier economies display an S-shape aggregate transition path. Along this transition, there are "catapult effects": longer episodes of divergence are associated with faster subsequent rates of convergence to the frontier. We construct and quantitatively assess a model of S-shaped transition with catapult effects. Deviations in per capita output from frontier economy levels are endogenous, while conventional growth accounting would classify these as TFP differences.

I don't want to have to look under the calendar or in the archive... just like the previous page... hopefully someone can help.
Thank you very very much.

I recently was starting my day as I normally do by eating a light, healthy breakfast and reading my favorite newspaper, the Ventura County Star. Everything was going well until I got to Page 7A and read the story regarding the Senate Intelligence Committee's report regarding the findings of the investigation of the CIA's past harsh torture allegations and the bickering going on of how much detail the report should include and to whom the report should be released.

6 Double-Duty Beauty Foods (Page 4)
3. Green Tea
Beauty benefit: Fights bad breath
For tea-rific breath, try a cup of tea. Studies suggest that drinking unsweetened black or green tea may help ward off bad breath. Both types of tea contain antioxidants called polyphenols that can help destroy the growth of bacteria that cause bad breath—although green tea contains more because it is processed in a different way. A study conducted at Pace University, for example, found that green tea extracts were effective at fighting several types of oral bacteria by preventing their growth. Polyphenols also reduce those nasty sulfur compounds. (Find more foods to get rid of bad breath here.)
Health benefit: Tamps down inflammation
Green tea is full of potent antioxidants that help quell inflammation. (Chronic inflammation plays a significant role—as either a cause or effect—in many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases and the three top killers in the United States: heart disease, cancer and stroke.) In fact, researchers from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock recently found that green tea can inhibit oxidative stress and the potential inflammation that may result from it. "After 24 weeks, people who consumed 500 mg of green tea polyphenols daily—that's about 4 to 6 cups of tea—halved their oxidative stress levels," says Leslie Shen, Ph.D., the study's lead author. (The placebo group didn't see a single change.)

Remember Me
The Mother Hips :: 06.15.12 :: The Independent :: San Francisco, CA
Two things jumped out at one as The Mother Hips offered up their 1993 debut album, Back To The Grotto, at The Independent:
1. What a truly together, unique band this was right from the start.
2. What a stellar rock 'n' roll unit they've evolved into in the intervening years.
The SF Bay Area-based Hips reminded a rapt audience of hardcore fans of just why we spill our love so effusively for them, reveling in the interesting corridors of their first studio salvo while inserting cool accents that reminded us how much they've grown – a beautiful merger of unshakeable fundamentals and healthy exploration. The whole production – lights, sound, atmosphere – was a class act, which allowed the audience to really sink into the Hips' groove, aided and abetted this evening by keyboardist Danny Eisenberg, who really ought to be the fifth Hip if they ever expand their lineup – dude seriously gets inside their music with juicy aplomb. What became clear as the band moved through their debut release was the core of what they have become was already taking firm root even in their earliest days, a smart, sassy sort of rock that never dumbs down the conversation even as it makes one play air guitar and punch the sky in uncontrollable enthusiasm. The second set featured two new numbers ("Rose of Rainbows" and "Creation Smiles") that testified to the Hips' continuing evolution. What's clear is this band continues to be a benchmark in quality and cool for American rock bands, and if one isn't already knee-deep in their catalogue, the time is nigh to wade in. (Dennis Cook)
Set One (Back To The Grotto): Hey Emilie, Potrero Road, Run Around Me, Chum, Back to the Grotto, This is a Man, Precious Opal, Two Young Queens, Stephanie's for LA, Figure 11, Hot Lunch, Turtle Bones
Set Two: White Falcon Fuzz, Toughie, One Way Out, Sleepy Eyes, Young Charles Ives, Space > Magazine, Rose of Rainbows, Del Mar Station, Sunshine Feel, Creation Smiles, Time-sick Son of a Grizzly Bear > Smoke, Been Lost Once, Can't Sleep At All
Encore: Tehachapi Bloodline, Stoned Up The Road, Third Floor Story
