Party of Two Is Seated at the Periodic Table
Scientists have formally added two new man-made elements to chemistry's periodic table, recognizing a pair of fleeting elements forged in a particle accelerator and lasting just milliseconds before decaying.
Elements 114 and 116—yet unnamed—were first formed in 2004 and 2006, the result of a collaboration dating to 1990 by a team of Russian and U.S. scientists at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, near Moscow. The new elements have 114 and 116 protons, respectively, in their nuclei and are the heaviest discovered so far.
Scientists have been creating new elements since 1940, when neptunium and plutonium were first forged at the University of California, Berkeley. As more elements have been created, a pattern emerged: Each new element was radioactive, slightly heavier than the one before, and in general, more unstable.
Eventually, scientists hope to discover new elements that might be stable, easily studied and, perhaps, offer commercially useful properties.
Atoms of the two new elements—created in a clash of nuclear particles—lasted only milliseconds before decaying into simpler and more stable substances, making them hard to study and even harder to verify.
The panel responsible for certifying claims of new elements took three years to confirm the discoveries. Claims involving three other new elements—113, 115 and 118—were rejected.
"We have to take things one atom at a time," said Paul Karol, a nuclear chemist at Carnegie Mellon University who is chairman of the international panel.
Elements are pure chemical materials from which all known matter is composed. They consist of a single type of atom distinguished by the number of protons in its nucleus, its atomic number. The periodic table arranges the elements based on their atomic number and allows scientists to predict as-yet-undiscovered elements.

Emotions Reveal Your True Thoughts
YOUR EMOTIONS tell you a lot about your thoughts. Guess where your thoughts originate? Your thoughts come from your deeply held beliefs! When your beliefs line up with God's Word, you experience a transformed life
You feel what you feel because you think what you think. Click & Tweet! What does this have to do with a transformed life? More than you might imagine. Your thoughts are the key to transformation.
In the short article, you'll discover:
- Emotions "talk."
- Change your thoughts, and you'll change your emotions.
- Experiencing life transformation.
Emotions Say Something Important
Emotions "talk." They reveal thoughts. When you know what you're thinking you can ask yourself, Do my thoughts agree with God's Word.
To see how this works, "hear" the thoughts in this parable where the rich man feels the emotion of fear of loss.
And he (Jesus) told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?'
And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry."'
But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God." (Luke 12:16-21, ESV)
In the parable, the rich man thought he'd have his crops a long time and told himself to relax, eat, drink, and be merry (actions). His thoughts and actions were based on the godless belief that pleasure is what matters, not God. His fearful emotion was an early signal to pay attention to his thoughts and change them as necessary.
What is one of your common thoughts?
- Life's not fair?
- I'm a loser/ugly/stupid?
- If I had more money/status/popularity, then I'd be happy?
Ask yourself, Does my thought agree with Scripture?
Change Your Thoughts and Emotions Change
Years ago I counseled a Christian woman I'll call Anna, who was sexually abused by a family friend at age 13. This family friend led a Christian camp, contributing to her twisted image of God. To her God was weak and uncaring, even evil.
She thought sex was a way to get what she wanted most: affection and love. She settled for the false love of naked embraces and murmured "I love you"s" from high school boys.
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23, NIV
In time, Anna discovered that only God fulfills her deep need for true love. Her emotions changed from fear and sadness to peace and contentment. Her beliefs changed too as she believed God's Word and applied its truths to her life.
Experience Life Transformation
Believing the Word of God is crucial to thinking in line with God's thoughts. As you believe God and spend time reading and meditating on Bible verses, God renews your mind. He transforms your life. Check out Romans 12:2.
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
As God transforms your thinking, your actions change too.
- You thank God for your home rather than complaining about your old furniture.
- You pray more often because you want to draw near to God.
- You replace the habit of spending hours on Facebook with spending time with your kids.
As you take your eyes off your emotions and as your thoughts change, guess what happens? You begin to experience inner contentment, joy, hope, and peace. Who doesn't want the abundant life?
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10, ESV
Sharing Hope with Your Heart,

After I have upgraded, the thumbnail setting in the Widget does not work.
It's set to thumbnail size 198x80 px, but is reset to default. Only if I set height to more than 100 it will change the size of thumb in height. It seems stuck on displaying thumbnail as close to a square as possible.
The new visits are not populated in popular posts - it's dead.
The comments and views stats are not displayed on separate line, but just following a looooong line after title. This is a long time bug I hoped was fixed by now.
Naturally I have not upgraded this in my production site, these problems must first be confirmed resolved in test lab.
Production site is version 2.1.4, and I'm unable to have this with version 2.2.1
Please advise.

Customer Reviews
Another fabulous Game & Previous Crash Issue Fixed
More levels, more challenges, lots more fun. Need I say more? This latest one is exceptional if a bit stingy on the levels. I'd like them to add at least 36 levels at a time, especially after waiting for it for this long.
The upgrade did the impossible -- made a great game even better!!
This is actually my favorite Angry Birds version.
In November 2015 that update caused a huge number of crashes. I'm happy to say they've since fixed that problem. I've had smooth sailing for the past several months
Update: the update from March 2016 has caused a weird bug when downloading the bonus levels which don't download properly.
Update2. The most recent update fixed all of the above plus added some awesome new levels. Season is now my favorite AB game.
Bring Classic Purple Winter Wonderham Background back!
Can you return Winter Wonderham's Background color back to the orignal Purple color, like in version 3.1.0? I know the Blue background brings more life to the Aurora Borealis, but I like the Old Purple background from version 3.1.0 better. If you can return Winter Wonderham's background color back to the original Purple color, that would be FANTASTIC! :)
Used to be a great game
I USED to love all of the Angry Birds games. With the newest updates the ads are too frequent (even if you previously paid for the game), you have to spend coins on levels you used to be able to play, there are frequent technical glitches where the game freezes or the sound cuts off. It's a shame really...I used to really enjoy these games; now it's not worth it. Bye bye Angry Birds.

Released: May 01st, 2005
Running Time: 93
Director: Chico Redfield
Company: Anarchy Films
Cast: Ashley Haze, Carmen Sancha, Reno, Kat (I), Chanel Chavez, Buster Good, John West, Chrissy Tyler, Brodi, Todd Driller, Van Damage
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
A fun, if initially slow, release for those who like to watch naughty schoolgirls do their thing
These five scenes of very naughty girls doing very naughty things behind their daddy's backs is an uneven but generally enjoyable exploration into the sluttiness of young women.
Posthumously dedicated to its director, two of its strongest scenes feature an exhausted construction worker who just wants to lay a floor - but gets laid by his client's daughter and friends, instead. Chrissy Tyler blackmails the stud into fucking her, and then friend Ashley Haze decides to get in on some of the fun. Carmen has to peel John West's Silly String off her body, and Kat entertains her father's poker buddies.
Poor sound and uneven lighting mar Brodi and Chanel Chavez's opening scene.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

A medical food for the dietary management of irritable bowel syndrome through dietary management, acacia senegal helps relieve IBS symptoms, including diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain.
Heather's Tummy Fiber
- A medical food for the dietary management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms. Acacia senegal is a natural (not synthetic) whole food soluble fiber with a clinically proven prebiotic effect.
- Studies have shown that soluble fiber, as part of the diet, helps regulate bowel motility (alleviating both diarrhea and constipation), and relieves abdominal pain from IBS
- Acacia senegal's prebiotic effect stimulates the growth of healthy gut flora for ideal bowel stability, which can reduce bloating, gas, and bowel irregularities from IBS
- Heather's Tummy Fiber is unique, because it has a good gastrointestinal tolerance and a proven significantly bifidogenic effect. Heather's Tummy Fiber is formulated specifically for the dietary management of IBS and improved bowel stability
- Heather's Tummy Fiber is 100% Acacia senegal, never low grade Acacia seyal
Suggested Use
- Start with a low dose twice daily
- Increase gradually
- Keep increasing until symptoms stabilize
Start with 1/2 level teaspoon, twice daily. Add to an empty cup, then stir with a fork as you gradually add room temperature liquid. Let rest for a minute, then stir again to completely dissolve.
Does not dissolve well in boiling hot or ice cold liquids, but once fiber is liquified you can boil or chill beverage. Or, stir into any moist food.
Gradually increase your dose. Add an extra 1/2 teaspoon every 3-5 days and keep increasing until symptoms stabilize.
Diarrhea can resolve fairly quickly as you gradually increase your dose. Constipation, if chronic and severe, may take several weeks and require a gradual increase to the higher dose range of 4-5 tablespoons per day.
Daily Dosages Adults 12 Years & Older:
On average, symptoms stabilize at a final dose range of 4 to 18 grams (2 Teaspoons to 3 tablespoons) per day total, divided into two separate doses. You may need more or less. Max daily dose is 30 grams (5 tablespoons).
Cooking: Add 1 tbsp per cup of liquid, whisk.
Baking: Add 1 tbsp per cup of flour, whisk.
Sprinkle on moist foods - OR - Add to cup, stir on liquids.

I've had IBS my whole life. I lived with it... not understanding as a child. By my 20's the attacks could no longer by excused. For the next 20yrs I let the doctors manage my symptoms...they offered some help, but mostly failed to find a solution. Frustrated, and finding the quality of my life diminishing as my aging compounded the problem, I began to read everything I could... looking for my own answers. I discovered that IBS requires numerous management tricks, depending on your individual situation. A good place to begin is with Heather's products, especially the Acacia "soluble" fiber. (Note: I prefer sprinkling in on my food, there is no taste and it mixes in just fine. For me, drinking it in water or juice can cause distress later in the day.) There is a lot of good information on Heather's website. Do yourself a favor, take her experience and adapt it to your IBS. Change the quality of your life!
This is the BEST for any tummy trouble. It has no taste, grit, and does not thicken in liquids like most fiber. It is 100% soluble, so no excess gas. I suffered from IBS and ulcerative colitis for 2 yrs. When I found this fiber and adjusted my diet, within 2 weeks I had none of my former symptoms.
life giver!!!
Posted by 5553273222667445662 on Jul 11, 2016
This one product, more than any other, has given me a new lease on life. IBSD had me confined to the house before I found Heather's Help for IBS and ordered this fiber, along with her Peppermint Oil Caps. Together they have given me freedom to go and do without worry of needing a bathroom in a hurry. I am never without them.
A good source of prebiotics
Posted by Reviewer1027414 on Jul 11, 2016
A good source of prebiotics which i feed in very small quantities ie a teaspoon daily to my dog who suffers from intermittent colitis. Since feeding this she has only had one minor attack in a year! I believe it can be helpful to people wth this condition too.
Excellent Product
Posted by 4806831932140120117 on Jul 03, 2016
Hi i am from India and am glad to review this product. My mother was suffering from digestion problem from last 10-15 years as i could remember and tried many medicines and doctors. Even doctors would often tell her that there is no issue. However she was struggling and could not eat properly. Last year while searching her symptoms on internet to diagnose the ailment i happened to land on Heather's Tummy care website and after reading reviews i thought of trying this product too. And i ordered one bottle of Peppermint capsule first which was able to relieve her pain in intestine and then i ordered Acacia senegal tummy fiber. Thanks to Allah, this product has benefited her a lot. Fiber has improved her digestive system to a great extent and she is no more dependent on any other type of medicine. She has gained health and feels more happy. Thanks a lot for such a wonderful product. The only challenge i face is ordering the powder from US, here in India some online websites sell the items but they cost dearly. And ordering from US adds a big amount as shipping cost. Till now i am managing to get the product with the help of my friends who often visit US and bring the product for me.
BEST fiber supplement EVER!
Posted by Reviewer3357040 on Jun 02, 2016
I've had IBS for over 14 years now, and tried MANY fiber supplements to help control my IBS. This is BY FAR the best--- if you follow the directions and start slowly, NO GAS, NO CRAMPING like other "over the counter" products. Natural and additive free, I will use as long as they make it. iHerb has good prices & shipping. HIGHLY recommend.
Great Product - Much better alternative to Psyllium
Posted by 5579789213982681664 on May 21, 2016
Started using because of candida overgrowth. It is a great alternative to Psyllium because it is a fiber which is also a prebiotic. Anyone who is looking to get heal their leaky gut or have IBS, diarrhea, constipation, gas etc. and wants to become regular definitely will find this helpful. Cons is that it is hard to dissolve in water so take time to dissolve in the water but overall it is really awesome.

Halfway through the NHL season, the Montreal Canadiens sport a record of 21-13-8.
This is good for a solid 48 points, putting the team in second place in the Northeast division, just ahead of their arch-rival Boston Bruins.
But with 40 games left to play in the Habs' season, the question that hovers in every fan's mind is simple: What does the rest of the NHL season hold for Montreal Canadiens?
The Canadiens are a mere three points away from their mark at this point last season. General Manager Bob Gainey feels he has a better and more balanced team than last year. The Habs also look a lot tighter in their own zone, and much stronger on five-on-five situations. And this is enough to please Gainey with his team's progress this year.
The Canadiens' hardwork and dedication is evident in their flying statistics. For instance, the Canadiens have scored a total of 124 goals this season, and only allowed 108 goals.
Power Forward Alex Kovalev has 18 goals and 20 assists which is good for 38 points in 41 games. Centerman Tomas Plekanec is also riding a solid high powered season with 13 goals and and 23 assists, which tallys a total of 36 points in 41 games.
The only real thing that the Canadiens need to improve in the second their season is their faceoff percentage. With a winning percentage of 48.1, the Canadiens are 27th in the league. Bob Gainey realizes the importance of winning faceoffs and will make sure that head coach Guy Carbonneau boosts his squads' efficiency in the blue circles.
On the negative side of the equation, Michael Ryder's career-low six goals and eight assists give the Bonavista, NF native only 14 points. Talks of a mideason trade are in the air in the city of Montreal. Will Ryder be dealt for more offensive talent? Or will GM Bob Gainey give Ryder the benefit of doubt and let him play until his one-year contract expires, hoping Ryder can open up his bag of magic tricks and give a more solid effort.
One thing that unites Montreal players and fans is their love and passion for their team, as well as hockey itself. With legions of fans worldwide, the Canadiens realize they have the number one fan following in the world.
Whether the Canadiens go on to be a strong Cup contender this year will be determined by their next 41 games. But one thing is certain—the future looks bright for the Habs, and the fans are not going anywhere in showing their support and love for their team.

Cilley ready for retirement
Published: Saturday, December 27, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 26, 2008 at 6:26 p.m.
After 20 years on the bench, Chief District Court Judge Robert Cilley will step down Dec. 31 and settle into retirement after a long career in law.
Cilley, 60, was born and raised in Hickory. He graduated from Claremont Central High School, informally known as Hickory High, in 1967.
The town of Claremont was a one-horse town back then, so everybody always said they went to Hickory High School, he explained.
Once he graduated high school, Cilley enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During his undergraduate studies, he focused on history with a concentration on Middle Eastern studies.
I always liked history, he said. What guided me to the Middle Eastern studies was a professor I liked. That was his field and I started following him, taking his courses.
Cilley graduated with his B.S. in history in 1971, then went straight into law school, still at Chapel Hill.
How I settled on law school was, more than anything, the lack of a foreign language requirement, he said. I dont have a gift for picking up foreign languages.
What Cilley said he liked about law and law school was that its a system he could understand.
When you really look at it, it is a way of thinking and analyzing, he said. There were people in my class that went to law school and hated it. They said, This is not for me and not anything I want to struggle with.
In 1974, Cilley graduated and sent resumes to small firms in medium to small parts of Western North Carolina.
I interviewed in Brevard, moved there and have been there ever since, he said.
The first firm he worked for was Ramsey, White and Peterson.
At that time, you had to be a generalist, he said. There were not a lot of specialty firms around during that time.
While at the firm, he helped a family when their dream home fell through. Hes still proud of that case.
These people bought a lot to build their dream home and they had contracted with the builder, he said. The company that threw the home together did a terrible job. When the washing machine would spin the whole house would shake. The company said only a few things needed to be repaired. The jury made the builders refund the money for the house and made them purchase the lot of land as well.
Cilley stayed with Ramsey, White and Peterson until he was elected as a judge in 1988. Cilley was elected for four more terms of four years each and remained a judge until he announced his retirement earlier this year.
I didnt think I had a snowballs chance, he said. I was going to court at that time and I would see how things would happen. I didnt always agree with the outcomes. I decided I couldnt keep complaining if I didnt offer up an alternative.
Cilley ran against incumbent Zoro Guice Jr. and won.
During his time on the bench, Cilley said he believes he contributed to a change in the legal culture.
When I first ran for office, it mattered who a lawyer was and what party he or she was with, he said. I dont think thats true anymore and I think thats good.
Cilley said at one time you could walk into a courtroom and predict the outcome of a case just by looking at the cast.
You cant do that anymore, he said.
One big change he made during his time as a judge was how pensions are valued during a divorce settlement.
Before there was only one case that gave any guidance on the matter and it was confusing, he said. I decided there had to be a better way and I did it that way. The attorney got angry and appealed the case. The court of appeals examined the way I chose to take the case and decided it made sense and to follow those guidelines from now on.
He said he decided to retire because he didnt want to commit to another four years on the bench.
I also think I am reasonably liked and like the old vaudevillians would say, leave the stage while they still like you, he said.
His retirement will be bittersweet, he said.
I will miss the people, he said The legal community is a big dysfunctional family. Every day is like a mini-reunion.
He said after retirement he plans to focus on his love of photography, do some traveling with his wife, Marla, and possibly do some mediation work for the courts.

April 8, 2011
Santa Barbara, Calif - Coming off an upset at the hands of No. 15 Pacific on Thursday night, the No. 6 Gauchos dished out an upset of their own on Senior Night at the Thunderdome, defeating the Stanford Cardinal by a score of 3-1. Game scores were 25-22, 23-25, 25-23, 25-16. With the win, the Gauchos record improves to 14-12, 11-9 in MPSF play, while Stanford falls to 17-8, 13-7 MPSF. UCSB was a led by a pair of seniors on Senior Night, outside hitter Jeff Menzel and opposite Cullen Irons both recorded season highs in kills woth 26 and 23, respectively. Senior setter Vince Devany also benefitted from the strong play from the outsides, finishing with 58 assists, his second-highest total on the year.
If the playoffs would have started before today's matches, UCSB would have drawn Stanford in its quarterfinal match. Falling to the Cardinal in a tight, five-set match back in February, the Gauchos looked eager this time to prove they could top Stanford from the word "go."
Though nobody knew Jeff Menzel's first set was just a prelude of what was to come, it was still something to be reckoned with. Jeff recorded 7 kills on 9 attacks with no errors (hitting or serving), for one of his cleanest games of the year. Senior setter Vince Devany compiled 15 assists in the first frame, which ended on a strong attack from Irons that ricocheted off of the Stanford defensive wall and into the stands. The Gauchos hit a fluid .393 as a team, and held Stanford to just a .240 hitting percentage.
Though the Gauchos dropped the second set, they rallied back from the jaws of defeat to make it competitive. Down 24-20, the Gauchos rode a service clinic from senior outside hitter Trey Valbuena, who recorded a key late service ace that made the match 24-23 before a Spencer McLachlin kill ended UCSB's hopes of a comeback. Irons still managed to rack up six kills in the frame, while Menzel collected another seven.
The third set was one of the tightest frames the Gauchos have participated in all year. From 8-8 to 19-19, the teams virtually traded every point back and forth before UCSB was able to distance itself after a couple Stanford miscues coupled with another strong set from outsides Menzel and Irons, who tallied six and seven kills in the set, respectively.
The decisive fourth set was somewhat of a departure from the rest of the match. Before the fourth set, no lead had grown above four for either team. The Gauchos appeared to run away with the game following a pair of impressive blocks from senior middle blocker Scott Slaughter, who had an impressive game of his own, even though it was buried in the stat sheet behind Menzel's and Iron's numbers. Scott finished with eight kills on just 10 attacks with a single error, finished with a .700 hitting percentage and chipping in four blocks, which tied him with sophomore Dylan Davis for the team lead. Menzel saved his best for last in the final set, recording eight kills, including the game clincher.
Asked about his teams 'Jekyll and Hyde' play, Head Coach Rick McLaughlin said "I can't explain it. We let one go last night, but we got at it tonight and I'm real proud of this win. When these two teams get together, we play some great matches."
The Gauchos finish up their regular season by heading south to take on MPSF rivals Pepperdine and USC on the road.
Launched in January of 2009, the BE Great initiative is dedicated to maximizing leadership ability, strong on-campus interaction and general welfare for all 450 student-athletes and Intercollegiate Athletics staff at UC Santa Barbara. BE Great also focuses on personal and career development, diversity and social awareness and ensuring academic success. UCSB boasts an 83% student-athlete graduation rate.
As a championship-caliber program, UCSB Athletics recognizes the responsibility that goes with it. This simply means all student-athletes, staff and fans will behave with a champion's approach, creating a safe environment at games and events. All of those who attend, compete or work at Gaucho events are caretakers of the passionate, exciting and great experience that UCSB is known for. This is The Gaucho Way.

An 11-year-old who was behind the wheel of a car being driven
erratically and at speeds up to 120kmh has been spoken with
by police.
About midnight the child, with a 14-year-old passenger, led
police on a high speed chase through Papakura for about two
minutes before stopping, Senior Sergeant Stephen Richards of
Counties-Manukau police said.
The driver was captured at the scene and the passenger, who
had fled, was caught about an hour later.
Police earlier said the boy was escaping Child, Youth and
Family custody at the time.
It was not known if the boy was still in custody, Mr Richards

Fire damages Rutland City homeStaff Report | November 10,2013A fire caused heavy damage to the rear of a single-family home Saturday night in Rutland City.
No one was home at the time of the fire, which was called in at about 7:15 p.m.
City Fire Lt. Brad LaFaso said four trucks were dispatched and firefighters met with heavy smoke coming out of the rear of the house when they arrived at 15 Hopkins St.
It took about 30 minutes to extinguish the fire, LaFaso said.
They got it down pretty quick, he said.
The cause of the fire was undetermined at press time, but LaFaso said it started in the kitchen area of the two-story woodframe house.

2. Get More Omega-3 Fatty Acids
In recent years, researchers have noted that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (found in fatty fish, flaxseed, and walnuts) may help protect against depression. This makes sense physiologically, since omega-3s appear to affect neurotransmitter pathways in the brain. Past studies have suggested there may be abnormal metabolism of omega-3s in depression, although some more recent studies have suggested there may not be a strong association between omega-3s and depression. Still, there are other health benefits to eating fish a few times a week, so it's worth a try. Shoot for two to three servings of fish per week.
3. Eat a Balanced Breakfast
Eating breakfast regularly leads to improved mood, according to some researchers -- along with better memory, more energy throughout the day, and feelings of calmness. It stands to reason that skipping breakfast would do the opposite, leading to fatigue and anxiety. And what makes up a good breakfast? Lots of fiber and nutrients, some lean protein, good fats, and whole-grain carbohydrates.
4. Keep Exercising and Lose Weight (Slowly)
After looking at data from 4,641 women ages 40-65, researchers from the Center for Health Studies in Seattle found a strong link between depression and obesity, lower physical activity levels, and a higher calorie intake. Even without obesity as a factor, depression was associated with lower amounts of moderate or vigorous physical activity. In many of these women, I would suspect that depression feeds the obesity and vice versa.
Some researchers advise that, in overweight women, slow weight loss can improve mood. Fad dieting isn't the answer, because cutting too far back on calories and carbohydrates can lead to irritability. And if you're following a low-fat diet, be sure to include plenty of foods rich in omega-3s (like fish, ground flaxseed, higher omega-3 eggs, walnuts, and canola oil.)
5. Move to a Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean diet is a balanced, healthy eating pattern that includes plenty of fruits, nuts, vegetables, cereals, legumes, and fish -- all of which are important sources of nutrients linked to preventing depression.
A recent Spanish study, using data from 4,211 men and 5,459 women, showed that rates of depression tended to increase in men (especially smokers) as folate intake decreased. The same occurred for women (especially among those who smoked or were physically active) but with another B-vitamin: B12. This isn't the first study to discover an association between these two vitamins and depression.
Researchers wonder whether poor nutrient intake may lead to depression, or whether depression leads people to eat a poor diet. Folate is found in Mediterranean diet staples like legumes, nuts, many fruits, and particularly dark green vegetables. B-12 can be found in all lean and low-fat animal products, such as fish and low-fat dairy products.

Adam McKay's 'The Big Short' Confirms Bale, Carell, Gosling and Pitt
They're joined by Melissa Leo and Marissa Tomei in the adaptation of the book by "Moneyball" author
They're joined by Melissa Leo and Marissa Tomei in the adaptation of the book by "Moneyball" author
The actor is in talks to star opposite Harrison Ford in the followup to Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic.
The stars of "Crazy, Stupid, Love" and "Gangster Squad" could reunite for the romantic musical from "Whiplash" director Damien Chazelle.
Ryan Gosling may star in Disney's long in-development "Haunted Mansion" reboot, with "Hellboy" veteran Guillermo del Toro still on board the film.
A new report contends the actor is the studio's top choice to star opposite Emma Watson in director Bill Condon's live-action film.
The actor's directorial debut features the star power of Saoirse Ronan, Christina Hendricks, Matt Smith and more.
The film, written and directed by Gosling, stars Christina Hendricks and will be available in April on home entertainment platforms.
A new rumor contends that Ryan Gosling is being eyed to play a Skywalker in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII, while Zac Efron is being discussed for another role.
Only God Forgives composer Cliff Martinez talks with Spinoff Online about his collaborations with directors Nicholas Winding Refn and Steven Soderbergh, avoiding typecasting, and which projects are next.
Ryan Gosling teams up with director Nicholas Winding Refn for the first time since Drive in Only God Forgives. The first trailer for the movie has finally arrived online.
In The Place Beyond the Pines, Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance creates a tragic and touching tale of crime and repercussions, with strong performances by Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper at its center.
Following confirmation that Disney is developing standalone Star Wars films centering on established characters, our thoughts turn to which young actors could step into Harrison Ford's boots for the rumored Han Solo origin story.

Another winner! A tasty treat for a cold, dreary day. I used sugar-free butterscotch. I will double the amount of extract next time, though. I used 8 oz. hot French Press coffee instead of instant.
What can I say, this is a great cup of coffee. Made as directed but used spiced rum (1/2 oz) instead of extract, it was so good. Thanks Anna for another wonderful coffee. This treat is light and delicious and will be made often.

My static perpendicular cannon fodder only recognizes a non-adherence to traditional specifications of norm in the anomaly characterized as melody, additional to a general chaos of pitch and noise not in the slightest resembling anything within the distinctive realm of harmony, though when placed in the vicinity of a numbing rhythm of kick and snare somehow qualifies as music.
Clever, my friend. Well played indeed. Consider my brain penetrated. x.x
At last! My penetrative assault has thrown out it's seeds of success!

Why would you let him into your mouth? These are the people that we ask for stereo advice and buy our drugs from, but the relationship should end there. Your pretty mouth is supposed to kiss our kids before bed at night and be a repository for my sperm. But now it has been invaded by some ghetto street thug. I'll go to the drug store and buy you some extra-strength mouthwash. I still love you.
Ya gotta love the interracial humor here—not just the title and theme, but with box blurbs like "now with more dark skinned negroes in every box" ... and we can assure you this tongue-in-cheek POV cuckold (the viewer) fantasy hits the mark.
First, the guys are darker skinned overall, and that contrasts quite well with fair-skinned young gals like Natasha Nice, who gobbles down Julius Ceazher to piss off hubby. Kendra Secrets doesn't have much to say once throat-deep with Jon Jon meat. Amber Rayne likewise chows down on this stud and includes some long, lingering deep throat action that makes time stand still.
In all six scenes, the pop is a facial, quite messy and succeeds in probably irking the cuckold as intended. Entertaining.

Subscribe to TCT Magazine, it's quick & FREE! Email for Digital Subscription:
The event that helped start our original FJC Magazine - FJ Summit - happens this week, for the 10th time!
The Toyota Cruisers & Trucks team has been preparing for the event for quite some time, so we thought a little preview of what's going down this year may be useful.
One of our favorite web series dedicated to overland preparation & travel, Mountain State Overland recently launched Season 3!
The exhibitor list for Overland Expo WEST 2016 has been sent out…and WOW, this event sure is growing!
With well over 250 exhibitors and featured vehicles at the event this year, it'll like be impossible to see them all. Our editors have put together this list of what they're most excited about...
We've just learned that Toyota has signed a multi-year deal with Ballistic BJ Baldwin! The team will be racing a TRD Pro Tundra Trophy Truck in both the SCORE International and Best in the Desert (BITD) series.
This past September, Joey and Jordyn Pitts of Pitts-Stop Adventures decided to set off on a road trip to the Rocky Mountains and surrounding areas. They started their 21 day trip in Paradise, Texas and traveled with their two dogs through 8 states in their 2014 Toyota Trail Edition 4Runner. While on their journey, they primarily chose to camp and live out of their Little Guy, Boss Edition teardrop camper. This is the first of a 2-part series.
Rear links/control arms are commonly upgraded or simply replaced on vehicles, as it is a crucial component of the suspension system. Link replacement is beneficial for those who may want a smoother ride and a stronger suspension, or those of us who have damaged our link systems. Link damage may become apparent from an accident, trail damage, worn out bushings or ball joints, improper use or stress from other synchronized parts in disrepair. This can be a pricey repair, upgrade or both, so it is important to research the quality of different parts and brand while also ensuring the modification is done right the first time. Alternatively, if you do not plan to upgrade your suspension system, the rear links/control arms should not be overlooked when maintaining and improving your vehicle. It is important to pay attention to irregular sounds and feels, and look over your vehicle and undercarriage for signs of damaged parts during regular maintenance.
ts 4:00 am the day before Christmas Eve. This might sound early, but for a snow plow driver it's more like sleeping in for 3 hours. As I quickly donned some snow boots and coat to head out into the cold, I could tell my wife was more bummed than usual about the alarm clock having gone off because this time she actually had to get up. Two months of planning had led up to this moment, and it was time to book our adventure on the White Rim Road.
When we built the TCT Explorer Tundra last year, part of our goal was to create an amazing truck with a 'TRD Pro' look. Judging by the fact that most people think ours is a TRD Pro, I think we've succeeded.
In this sponsored video, Stephen Elmer from AutoGuide.com takes a stock Limited Tundra, adds all the appropriate TRD Pro parts, and compares it to an Inferno TRD Pro Tundra.
With a long successful history in the mud-terrain tire market, Cooper has finally found an adequate replacement for their renowned Discoverer STT. After years of R&D, Cooper released their newest mud-terrain option, the Discoverer STT Pro. Cooper takes great pride in the STT Pro and they have every right to.
I've loved the 4x4 and off-road industry for as long as I can remember. After running this magazine for almost 10 years though, I've realized something. With little exceptions, none of us gets to explore as often as we'd like.
The desire to get on dirt, explore new places, and find adventure around every corner is not something that's easy to quench. Luckily, I've finally found an outlet that allows me to play...with a toy...and quench that thirst, for just a little while.

How �bout these comments by the colorful, 76-year-old, former coach of the Oklahoma Sooners (three national championships) and Dallas Cowboys (Super Bowl XXX winners), made Wednesday on �The Morning After Show� on CBS Sports Radio in St. Louis:
Asked about Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel, Switzer said: �I don�t like Johnny Manziel. I think he�s an arrogant little pr***�
Regarding Michael Sam, Switzer said: �I�d rather have a gay guy with game than a straight guy without game.�
And, as to whether NFL owners might be reluctant to draft Sam: �There are owners ought there who would draft Charles Manson if he could run a 4.2 40.�
Switzer sounds a lot of Bill Belichick, doesn�t he?

The sun was out in Madison, Miss., a seemingly beautiful day for golf. Randy Watkins could only wish it had come out sooner, for longer, and did a better job of drying out a saturated golf course still unfit for play on Monday.
Golf fans in Mississippi were denied their annual PGA Tour stop, and players desperately in need of the money earnings that determine the fate of their careers were left without a place to play.
They cancelled the tournament Saturday, and Watkins -- the Viking Classic tournament director -- was left to pick up the pieces from an event that never saw a ball struck.
"We made the very, very best of a horrible situation," Watkins said.
Heavy rain had saturated the Annandale Golf Club course prior to tournament week, and when more rain pounded the area on the eve of the tournament, both the first and second rounds had to be postponed.
When it rained again on Friday night -- dumping 1.75 inches on the venue -- it became clear that the course could not be made ready to play.
The tournament was called off with no make-up date scheduled and $3.6 million in prize money left on the table.
A possible two-year exemption for the player who won the tournament was forfeited; money earnings that could have helped a player move into the top 125 and be exempt for next year were washed away; the ability to even play your way into the top 150 and avoid the second stage of Q-school was also lost for some.
But if you think the decision to abandon the event was made too quickly, that was far from the case.
"It kept us up at night," said Rick George, executive vice president and chief of operations for the PGA Tour. "We know how important it is to the players. We've got two events left, guys trying to gain on their position, guys trying to protect. ...
"We looked at every option. We spoke to as many people as we could. Trust me, there was an unbelievable amount of deliberation on every possible situation you could think of. It is a daunting task to try and recreate an event in four or five days."
So the move was made to pull the plug, leaving players such as David Duval -- who is 125th on the money list -- with just one more event, the Children's Miracle Network Classic, to retain his playing privileges for next year. Rickie Fowler, who was making an amazing run in his first two events as a pro, now has just one -- instead of two -- events to do the improbable: secure his PGA Tour card through money earnings.
It also left golf fans -- both on television and in person -- without a tournament to watch, meaning local Mississippi charities will miss out on donations they might have seen come their way.
At least there is a ray of sunshine there. Watkins said the tournament utilizes a popular "Birdies for Charities" program in which local charities solicit pledges from donors based on the number of birdies made in the tournament.
But as part of the deal, any tournament day wiped out gets a standard 500 birdies for Thursday and Friday, with 300 for Saturday and Sunday. So that's at least 1,600 birdies (the pro-am counts, too) for pledges to be collected on and distributed.
Both Watkins and George agreed that the hurdles were too high as far as staging the golf tournament.
"We're not financially capable of doing it," Watkins said. "But at least part of the show went on. We had all of our culinary shows [Viking manufactures professional and commercial-type kitchen appliances for the home]. All of our celebrities still participated. We kept the trophy suites open and people were in them watching college football on Saturday. It was standing room only. We did the best we could."
George said he asked for PGA Tour Policy Board approval to extend the event beyond Monday -- which is required as part of the tour's bylaws. Commissioner Tim Finchem considered waiving the tour's rules which prohibit a 36-hole event -- which would mean the winner was unofficial but the prize money would count.
"We tried to do everything we could to get the event in," George said. "We talked with everybody. In our best estimation, the golf course could potentially be ready by the latter part of the week. And there was potential for additional rainfall.
"Then we took into consideration the logistical issues. All the vendors. All the tent people. Is Annandale available to us? You've got volunteers, TV, their ability to broadcast. Do the trucks go someplace else and come back? Then you have to get more hotel rooms. Would the players stay? Come back?"
And this is where PGA Tour players ought to take notice and see just how fortunate they are to play for millions of dollars week after week.
This is just the third time in the PGA Tour's history that an event has been canceled and not replayed (the others were the 1949 Colonial and 1996 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am), which means the show has almost always gone on.
Nearly a year's worth of planning goes into these tournaments -- which, by the way, only have a portion of the purse funded by the PGA Tour (the rest comes from the title sponsor). Typically it is a local nonprofit organization that runs the tournaments, sells tickets and sponsorships, pays for the infrastructure, recruits volunteers and pulls the thing off. The PGA Tour puts a heavy load on these local groups.
And it is not cheap. Watkins says the Viking Classic pays a "six-figure" rental fee to Annandale for use of the course, with the contract running through Tuesday. And because the tournament was set up and ready to go, Watkins still will have bills to pay to various vendors. (George said that the Viking Range Corp. would get its portion of the purse money back.)
Although the idea of playing this weekend was discussed, the cost to a nonprofit organization was prohibitive. The idea of playing the weekend following the Children's Miracle Network Classic was also considered, but then you run into scheduling issues with the second stage of the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament.
"Many of those players would be playing [at Q-school] and that's just not equitable," George said.
For what it's worth, Watkins said he did not get a single complaint from any player.
"I can't say I talked to 132 players, but I talked to a vast majority in some form or fashion," he said. "And not only were they understanding, but supportive and encouraging and helpful."
Bad breaks happen all the time in golf, so perhaps the players can deal with it better than anyone.
And this, certainly, was a bad break.

I've recently spent a lot of time updating my video production website and am conscious that I'm becoming blind to the content.
I therefore wanted to welcome any kind-hearted individuals from the community to take a look over a coffee break and let me know what you think.
Even just a brief comment on your first impressions would be good. And I'm not after a pat on the back... I much sooner receive constructive criticism so I can improve things further.
Many thanks in advance... Jamie

Discovery of white powder prompts school closing
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 at 12:00 a.m.
SALUDA ó Students at Saluda School got an unexpected holiday Monday when a powdery white substance was found inside the school.
Investigators think that vandals sprayed fire extinguishers in the school. After a janitor discovered the vandalism Sunday night, school officials decided to close school Monday.
The school will reopen today on its regular schedule.
"It looks like a prank," said Saluda Town Board member Johnny Kinard, who serves as police commissioner. "At this point we don't think there will be any danger to the children. We just want to be sure."
Jim Patterson, director of personnel and facilities for Polk County schools, said material was sent to Raleigh for analysis and was found to be nonthreatening. School administrators expect to get the results of tests identifying the substance later this week.
Law enforcement officials
are investigating the incident "very seriously," Saluda Police Chief Rick Corley said. "We took every precaution to protect these teachers and students. Bottom line, we think it's a prank ó but you can't take any chances."
A janitor discovered the
substance on the floor Sunday night and alerted school officials.
The school was professionally cleaned Monday afternoon to make sure everything would be fine today.

June 7.
The Visitors -- A French time-travel comedy. On his wedding day in 1122, a knight (Jean Reno) and his squire meet a witch who sends them to the late 20th century. June 7.
Stealing Beauty -- From Bernardo Bertolucci, the story of an incredibly beautiful American 19-year-old (incredibly beautiful 19-year-old Liv Tyler) who makes a summer journey to Italy, where she is surrounded by British expatriates. Everything is beautiful: the Tuscan countryside, the 18th-century villa, the dying playwright (Jeremy Irons). June 12.
The Cable Guy -- Jim Carrey's chance to prove he's worth $20 million. Matthew Broderick plays the unlucky customer who waits four hours for the cable installer (Mr. Carrey) and then can't get rid of him. Directed by Ben Stiller. June 14.
Moll Flanders -- Not to be confused with "The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders," although Moll, according to Daniel Defoe's original 1722 title page, was "Twelve Year a Whore, five time a Wife" and a good deal more. But not to be confused with Defoe's book either: Pen Densham, the writer and director, says he just used the title character for inspiration. Robin Wright is Moll, born in prison in London but determined to have a fabulous life. Morgan Freeman (with 18th-century dreadlocks) is her co-star. June 14.

These stamps are wonderfully detailed and look beautiful on the page. Such a cool mix! From wings to a sun, some new styles of crowns and the hands that piont in either direction (My Fav!). This set also comes with a free storage folder to use with Making Memories Stamp Binder! Now I want the stamp binder! I would definately recommend these stamps!
These stamps are so pretty and detailed! I've already used about half of them and had fantastic results. They also came with 2 unexpected bonuses: a plastic binder sleeve to store them in and the paperboard from the packaging, which is pale green with white polka dots. I used that paperboard on 2 photo mats and it looks great!
I couldn't wait to try these out so I tried them on a piece of leftover paper and they work great! I'm so glad I bought them. The designs are very cool. I like that it came with a folder sleeve for the book. I think these stamps were a great deal.
I have been stamping for 18 years. Clear stamps are the best. So much more usefull than wood mounted. Making Memories have lived up to their reputation once again.

So, I see a lot of folks posting that they're washing baby clothes. Why? If they're from a previous baby, don't you usually wash them when you put them in storage? WY wash again? And new never before worn clothes;why wash them?
It's not just clothes, I've noticed folks doing this for bedding as well. A few of my friends made some gorgeous baby blankets for when Wiggles gets here and I'm wondering is it just part of nesting or is there a rhyme and reason to all the washing?
