Dear Angie: How do you know when it's time to replace a furnace? — Susan T., San Francisco
Dear Susan: I hope your furnace is getting a well-deserved rest after this freakishly frigid winter. You ask a great question: How can you be sure an older-but-operable unit can handle another heating season?
Highly rated HVAC experts tell our team that you should consider three factors before deciding whether it's time to invest $2,500 to $5,500 in a new furnace:
Age: A furnace has an average life span of 12 to 18 years, so if yours has been warming you for at least a dozen years, it might be time to consider replacement.
Energy efficiency: Outdated furnaces generally use more energy than new models. Also, an older unit might be oversize, which can cause it to "short cycle," or turn on and off more often than needed. Upgrading to a newer, smaller furnace might reduce your energy bills and increase your comfort level.
Problem signs: Signals that your furnace might need either a pro's attention or replacement include unusually high utility bills, rooms heating unevenly or a screeching or squealing noise, which might indicate a problem with the blower motor.
When considering whether it's worth it to invest in a repair, remember this rule of thumb: If a repair will cost more than half the price of a new appliance and the unit is more than six or seven years old, it's probably best to buy new.
If you decide to shop for a new unit, consider its "annual fuel utilization efficiency" number. AFUE is a measure of how efficiently a furnace converts fuel energy to heat over a typical year. A unit with an AFUE of 95 percent means that 95 percent of the fuel it burns becomes heat and the other 5 percent is lost. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace.

Chapter 62 (v.1) - You and Me
I gently rubbed my finger over Fin's little hand as he fussed around in the crib. "Shh baby it's alright." I whispered to him. He was lying on the little cot in the hospital hooked up to an IV. He did not like it at all. He turned to look at me as he stopped crying but the water still covering his cheeks. "Shh Fin, it's alright." I move my hand so I could rub his naked stomach since he was only in a diaper. I looked over at Taylor as he talked to one of the nurses. "I'm here for you baby. I'm here." He took hold of my hand as he looked at me silently. "I'll protect you." He took my finger to his mouth and chewed on it. I smiled at him as he gave me a soft smile.
"Bailey." Taylor said making me turn my head to look at him. He crutched over to me before looking down at me.
"Yeah?" I asked looking back at Fin a he started to fall asleep suckling on my finger.
"I love you." He whispered kissing my head. "So much Bailey." I looked up at him kissing him.
"I love you too Taylor." He sat down on the chair next to me putting his crutches against the wall. I pulled my finger out of Fin's mouth gently as not to wake him since it took us forever to setting him to sleep since they put his IV in. Taylor put his hand on my cheek.
"Why don't you call your parents, Baby?" I looked at him leaning my head on his shoulder.
"I don't want to leave you too." I whispered breathing in his smell as I closed my eyes.
"We will be alright Baby. I promise. I'm a big boy." He smiled at me gently rubbing his hand up and down my shoulder.
"Alright." I said reluctantly. He kissed my head.
"Go on. I'm going to keep Fin company." I nodded getting up from my chair as Taylor moved over into it. I kissed him before moving over to the crib to gently kiss Fin's head before walking out of the room. I made my way over to the nurses' station making the nurse look up and smile at me.
"What can I do to help you sweetheart?"She asked smiling.
"May I use your phone please? I just want to call my parents." She smiled at me lifting my phone.
"Sure go ahead sweetheart." I smiled at her picking up the phone and dialed home.
Dillon* Hello Tanner household.
Me* Hey Dill, is Mom or Dad home?
Dillon* Hi Bailey. Yeah Mom is out with Bentley but Dad's home. Let me get him for you.
Me* Thanks.
I waited as I heard Dillon yelling for Dad.
Dad* Hey sweetheart where are you? I thought you were coming home soon.
Me* Yeah Dad something happened, and the plans have changed.
Dad* Baby is everything alright?
I felt the tears start to form in my eyes.
Me* No Daddy. Everything is not alright.
Dad* Bailey what's wrong?
I could feel the tears threatening to fall from just that one question.
Me* Daddy I need you. I'm scared.
Dad* Baby where are you?
Me* I'm at the base hospital in the pediatrics ICU
Dad* Bailey….
Me*It's not for me Daddy.
Dad* I will be there is 20 minutes Baby. Let me just call your Mom.
Me* I love you Daddy.
Dad* I love you too Baby Girl.
I put the phone back onto the phone cradle and looked at the nurse. "You alright?" She asked cocking her head to the side.
"Yeah, my Dad should be here soon." I nodded trying to blink away the tears.
"Alright sweetheart. I'm right here if you need anything." I nodded.
"Thank you." She smiled at me as I turned back and sat on the chair outside the room and put my head in my hands. I closed my eyes and tried to stop the urge to cry. I must have sat there for awhile because the next thing I know I feel a hand on my shoulder making me look up. Dad stood in front of me with his hand on my shoulder.
"Bailey?" I stood up and wrapped my arms around him.
"Daddy I need you." I whispered bursting into tears. I hadn't been able to stop the urge to cry the whole time.
"What's wrong Baby Girl?" He asked kissing my head. "Are you alright? Are you okay?" I nodded my head. "Then what's wrong baby?" I took his hand in mine as I wiped my eyes and took him into Fin's hospital. The lights were out but the TV was on so it lit up Taylor's face as well as Fin as he slept silently in the crib. Taylor looked over at us almost jumping up but then remembering his leg and jumped in pain rubbing it through the cast.
"Mr. Williams." He said looking at the two of us. "I didn't expect to see you here." He said his eyes drifting from me to Dad to Fin. Dad looked over to the crib as Fin moved in his sleep whimpering in pain.
"Who is that?" Dad asked quietly staring over at Fin.
"That would be Fin, Sir. My son." Dad looked at me.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about Dad." He looked at Fin again.
"Your boyfriend has a baby, and that baby is in the hospital." He rubbed his hand down his face. "Alright I can handle this. Deep breath Tanner. Deep breath." He turned to look at me.
"Dad are you mad at me?" I asked quietly almost scared for the answer. He looked over at me.
"No I'm not baby." He sighed. "Just shocked."
"Yeah well so was I. But I can't abandon him now. Not after what he has been through." I looked over at Fin as he slept.
"Who the baby or Mr. Hollywood over here." I looked at Taylor as he watched me.
"Either of them." Dad looked at me before leaning over to kiss my head.
"I know Baby. I know the feeling. I had the same feeling with your mom when I found out she was pregnant with you and your brother." He smiled at me. "You are so much like her." I smiled hugging him.
"I love you Dad." Dad looked down at me.
"I love you too Bailey." Taylor smiled at me. "How long have you guys been here?" I shrugged.
"A couple of hours, but we just got Fin to settle about 30 minutes ago." Dad nodded.
"So you haven't had lunch at all?" I shook my head. "Did you eat breakfast?" I looked up at him without saying anything. "It's about 4 o'clock and you haven't eaten?" I shrugged. He gave me a stern look. "Taylor?" Taylor looked up.
"Yes Sir?"
"Take my daughter to get something to eat at the dinner. I will take care of this little guy for you." I looked at him about to protest but Dad gave me his look that said 'no protests' before looking back at Taylor.
"Uh, Sir, I kind of don't want to leave my son." Dad nodded.
"Trust me I know the feeling Taylor, but sometimes you just need a little break. Now both of you go get food while I watch over this little one." Taylor sighed getting up and crutched over to us.
"Sir, can I ask you one favor?" Dad looked at me.
"I'll wait just outside." I walked out. Dad looked at Taylor.
"Yeah Son?" Taylor sighed.
"Please take care of my son. I can't lose him again." Dad put his hand on Taylor's shoulder.
"I will Taylor. I promise." Dad smiled at him. "Go on." Taylor nodded.
"Thank you." He walked out as Dad sat down on the rocking chair looking at Fin. Before changing the channel leaning back watching it……
….Taylor looked at me as I drove away from the hospital. "I love you Bailey." I looked over at him quickly before looking back at the road.
"I love you too Taylor." He looked out of his window.
"You know I found a song that I want you to hear." I turned the corner.
"Really?" I smiled. "Do you have it?" He nodded pulling out his iPod and pulled it into my stereo before scrolling through his music. I smiled as the first bars of You and Me by Lifehouse started to flow through the speakers...

13 Surprising skin care routines that worked for former acne sufferers
How the heck do some people not have acne? Is it in our genes or skin care routines? Apparently, yes.
According to Jolene Hart, C.H.C., A.A.D.P, author of Eat Pretty, you can control your genes. In her book, she says: "Quite likely you thought your genes were written in stone; that's true of your fixed genetic traits like the color of your eyes, the shape of your face, and the dimple on your left cheek. But we also have genes that are involved in the function of our systems — they tell your body how to make the keratin in your hair and nails, for example, or give the blueprint for building new skin cells and collagen day after day."
More: Here's what your dermatologist isn't telling you about your acne
So, healthy skin begins from the inside first — whether that's eating healthy foods that fight acne (salmon, avocado, artichokes), exercising more to improve circulation or de-stressing to regulate your hormones. "Your diet and lifestyle choices influence as much as 80 percent of your genetic expression," Hart continues.
Part two of the acne solution is how we treat our skin from the outside. Sometimes you can control this (e.g. face wash, masks) — and sometimes you can't (e.g. air pollution, allergens). You, like me, have probably tried millions of "solutions" — cleansers, prescriptions, injections, pills, lasers — that just... did... not... work.
But do not give up! I found my "cure" in Proactiv, but as soon as I tried Proactiv Plus, my skin broke out again. Go figure. For more ideas, check out these surprising acne cure-alls that former acne sufferers swear by.
1. A simple routine
Kim G., from St. Augustine, Florida, shares, "I have really dry skin and rosacea, which means that my skin gets really finicky when it comes in contact with an irritant. So I keep my routine simple: Philosophy Purity face wash (Ulta, $24) and Mario Badescu aloe moisturizer (Ulta, $24). They clean my face without drying it out and moisturize without any harsh ingredients. I haven't gone back since."
2. Apple cider vinegar
Jessica C., an actress and model out of Los Angeles, says, "Birth control cleared up my acne problems. I've also heard people say that using organic apple cider vinegar, the Bragg's brand 'With the Mother,' has worked and cleared up their acne."

3. Essential oils
Aisha C., a medical aesthetician who lives in Ontario, explains, "I would say birth control and anything oil-related such as rose oil or coconut oil helped with me! I liked the oils because they're natural, they smell great and essential oils are very therapeutic."

4. Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick
Valerie L., mother and model in Atlanta, Georgia, swears by Burt's Bees blemish oil. "It's all natural and clears acne quicker than anything I've ever used." (Burt's Bees, $8)
5. Rose water
Julie S., a marketing rep from Orlando, Florida, explains, "I have very fair and sensitive skin. All soaps I have ever tried that claim to be for sensitive skin irritate my face. I had a facial a few years ago and the facialist recommended that I just use warm (not hot) water to wash my face and remove bad pore clogging oil and then use rose water extract as an astringent. Similar to witch hazel, rose water has really soothing properties to it and is great for fair skin. It takes the redness down and is a miracle worker on pimples."
6. African black soap
Melissa G., a film producer from North Carolina, points to African black soap. "Check it out. It was amazing for my friend's son. Totally cleared acne. It also heals other skin conditions."
7. Egg whites
Wanda K., from Naples, Florida, suggests, "At night a vigorous cleanse and then gentle application of undisturbed egg white left to dry as a mask. All night it protects as an anti-microbial and has 40 types of healing and nutritious proteins to remedy chronic acne. Try it for 21 days. It's fantastic." Her daughter Erica agrees: "Egg white face mask."
More: 11 Annoying suggestions acne sufferers don't want to hear
8. Tea tree oil
Jess F., a recent graduate and city planner, recommends "tea tree oil for a quick treatment, and using tea tree shampoo as a body soap."
9. Lemon and charcoal
Jacquelynne B., an actress in the southeast, shares, "Lemon does wonders. I am also a big fan of Dead Sea mud and charcoal soap (though it should be used sparingly as it strips your face's color as it exfoliates). Always wipe your makeup off nightly with a great remover (I like Neutrogena... but I use only natural stuff for the rest), cleanse and moisturize. Tone if you like. Oh, and goat's milk soap is great for the whole body."
More: Why lemon water should be your new morning coffee
10. Sugar-free diet
Brian B., from Orlando, Florida, says, "Cut out carbs/sugar and my skin sure feels better!"
11. Plenty of water
Sarah T., a photographer and university student, explains, "I have found that drinking a good amount of water throughout the day makes for a clear face. Also, Neutrogena makeup remover wipes, followed with Clinique Turnaround Overnight Revitalizing Moisturizer as my nightly routine."
12. Gunilla of Sweden
Beau R., a New York actor, swears by Gunilla of Sweden. This is an organic, cruelty-free skin care brand that has tons of success stories attached to its name.
13. Relocate
For most of us, relocating isn't the easiest option, but Enrique M., originally from Florida, says, "Moved to Japan and now I have no acne — perhaps the high vitamins in fish and low oil intake? Nonetheless, still grateful."

What is Ultrasound Imaging of the Musculoskeletal System?
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not use ionizing radiation (as used in x-rays). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.
Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.
Ultrasound images of the musculoskeletal system provide pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and soft tissue throughout the body.
What are some common uses of the procedure?
Ultrasound images are typically used to help diagnose:
• tendon tears, such as tears of the rotator cuff in the shoulder or Achilles tendon in the ankle.
• abnormalities of the muscles, such as tears and soft-tissue masses.
• bleeding or other fluid collections within the muscles, bursae and joints.
• small benign and malignant soft tissue tumors.
• early changes of rheumatoid arthritis.
• dislocations of the hip in infants.
• fluid in a painful hip joint in children.
• lumps in the neck muscles of infants.
How should I prepare?
You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for your ultrasound exam. You may need to remove all clothing and jewelry in the area to be examined.
You may be asked to wear a gown during the procedure.
Ultrasound exams are very sensitive to motion and an active or crying child will slow the exam process. To ensure a smooth experience, it would be beneficial to explain the procedure to the child prior to the exam. You may bring a book to read to the child to ease anxiety. Ultrasound departments often have a television in the examination room and the child's favorite show may be played if there are no other available distractions.
No other preparation is required.
What does the equipment look like?
Ultrasound scanners consist of a console containing a computer and electronics, a video display screen and a transducer that is used to scan the body and blood vessels. The transducer is a small hand-held device that resembles a microphone, attached to the scanner by a cord. The transducer sends out high frequency sound waves into the body and then listens for the returning echoes from the tissues in the body. The principles are similar to sonar used by boats and submarines.
The ultrasound image is immediately visible on a nearby video display screen that looks much like a computer or television monitor. The image is created based on the amplitude (strength), frequency and time it takes for the sound signal to return from the patient to the transducer and the type of body structure the sound travels through.
How does the procedure work?
Ultrasound imaging is based on the same principles involved in the sonar used by bats, ships and fishermen. When a sound wave strikes an object, it bounces back, or echoes. By measuring these echo waves it is possible to determine how far away the object is and its size, shape, and consistency (whether the object is solid, filled with fluid, or both).
In medicine, ultrasound is used to detect changes in appearance of organs, tissues, and vessels or detect abnormal masses, such as tumors.
In an ultrasound examination, a transducer both sends the sound waves and records the echoing waves. When the transducer is pressed against the skin, it directs small pulses of inaudible, high-frequency sound waves into the body. As the sound waves bounce off of internal organs, fluids and tissues, the sensitive microphone in the transducer records tiny changes in the sound's pitch and direction. These signature waves are instantly measured and displayed by a computer, which in turn creates a real-time picture on the monitor. One or more frames of the moving pictures are typically captured as still images.
How is the procedure performed?
For most ultrasound exams of the musculoskeletal system, the patient is seated on an examination table or a swivel chair. For some ultrasound exams, the patient is positioned lying face-up on an examination table that can be tilted or moved.
Almost all of the ultrasound studies of infants and children are performed with the child lying on his or her back on the examination table.
A clear water-based gel is applied to the area of the body being studied to help the transducer make secure contact with the body and eliminate air pockets between the transducer and the skin. The sonographer (ultrasound technologist) or radiologist then presses the transducer firmly against the skin in various locations, sweeping over the area of interest or angling the sound beam from a farther location to better see an area of concern.
When the examination is complete, the patient may be asked to dress and wait while the ultrasound images are reviewed. However, the sonographer or radiologist is often able to review the ultrasound images in real-time as they are acquired and the patient can be released immediately.
This ultrasound examination is usually completed within 15-30 minutes but may occasionally take longer.
What will I experience during and after the procedure?
Most ultrasound examinations are painless, fast and easy.
After you are positioned on the examination table, the radiologist or sonographer will apply some warm water-based gel on your skin and then place the transducer firmly against your body, moving it back and forth over the area of interest until the desired images are captured. There is usually no discomfort from pressure as the transducer is pressed against the area being examined.
If scanning is performed over an area of tenderness, you may feel pressure or minor pain from the transducer.
The radiologist or sonographer may ask you to move the extremity being examined or may move it for you to evaluate not only anatomy but also function of a joint, muscle, ligament or tendon.
Once the imaging is complete, the gel will be wiped off your skin.
After an ultrasound exam, you should be able to resume your normal activities immediately.
Who interprets the results and how do I get them?
A radiologist, a physician specifically trained to supervise and interpret radiology examinations, will analyze the images and send a signed report to your primary care physician or the physician who referred you for the exam, who will share the results with you. In some cases the radiologist may discuss results with you at the conclusion of your examination.

What are the benefits vs. risks?
• Most ultrasound scanning is noninvasive (no needles or injections) and is usually painless.
• Ultrasound is widely available, easy-to-use and less expensive than other imaging methods.
• Ultrasound imaging does not use any ionizing radiation.
• Ultrasound scanning gives a clear picture of soft tissues that do not show up well on x-ray images.
• Ultrasound provides real-time imaging, making it a good tool for guiding minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopsies and needle aspiration.
• Unlike the strong magnetic field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound is not affected by cardiac pacemakers, ferromagnetic implants or fragments within the body. Ultrasound is also an excellent alternative to MRI for claustrophobic patients.
• Ultrasound may actually have advantages over MRI in seeing tendon structure, which is better appreciated by ultrasound than MRI.
• The hip joints of infants, unlike those of adults, are largely made of cartilage which allows excellent views of them using ultrasound.
• For standard diagnostic ultrasound there are no known harmful effects on humans.
What are the limitations of Ultrasound Imaging of the Musculoskeletal System?
Ultrasound has difficulty penetrating bone and therefore can only see the outer surface of bony structures and not what lies within. For visualizing internal structure of bones or certain joints, other imaging modalities such as MRI are typically used.
Ultrasound has not proven useful in detecting whiplash injuries or other causes of back pain.

Why stay in a hotel when you can stay in a home? Come visit Paros in style. Our home has stunning views of the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea and crimson sunsets in the evening. The village of Alyki is on the southern part of the island, which is naturally protected from winds and has some of the calmest and clearest waters in Paros. Alyki is a fishing village where you can find fisherman bringing in their daily catch. Local restaurants display octopus drying in the sun and fish tanks with crab and lobster for the kids to view.
The building is 2 stories with our house on the top floor. The house is 100 meters from the sea. There are 2 bedrooms with a queen size bed in each room. Both rooms have air conditioning. Upon request, there is an option to add a folding bed for a child (8 yrs and under) or a portable crib for a baby (2 yrs and under) to the master bedroom. The master has a bathroom with a bathtub, toilet and sink. The other bathroom is located in the common area and has a shower, toilet and sink. The entire home is tiled with marble floor. The common area (dining room, living room and kitchen) is open concept with air conditioning. The dining room has a table and 6 chairs. The living room has 2 small sofas that also have a pullout mattress that can be used for a teenager or child to sleep on. The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, stove/oven, sink, and microwave, along with cups, plates, utensils, pots and pans, etc for you to prepare and eat your meals. Paper goods (toilet paper/paper towels, etc,), hair dryer, and beach towels are not provided. Please plan to purchase or bring your own. There is a television in the master bedroom and a television and DVD player in the living area. Internet available from June to the end of Sept.
The amazing outdoor living space is where you will want to be! The area is very large (55 sq meters) and is fully enclosed with a 3 ft. high concrete wall (childproof for young children). It is also partially shaded to allow relief from the afternoon sun. Here you will enjoy family meals with wonderful views of the sea, sunsets, stars and moon. We also provide a BBQ on the veranda along with tables and chairs. Although we don't allow smoking in the home, you are free to smoke on the veranda. Lastly, we also have a men's bicycle available for use to run errands around town or for exercise.
Our home is down the street from a supermarket, bakery, and fruit/vegetable market. Close to all of your immediate needs so you can stock up on groceries, paper goods and anything else you require for your stay. We are a 10 minute walk to the main village of Aliki, 10 minute drive to the ferry to Antiparos, 15 minute drive to Parikia (Port), or you can take a bus which is available near the supermarket. Rental cars are available at the Port and the airport and allow you to explore the island at your leisure. Paros is small enough that you can see it all, and close enough to other islands (Santorini, Mykonos, Antiparos, Naxos) that you can do a day trip.
Paros has a beautiful history with so many things to see and do. The culture and food are rich and the people are full of life!
House Rules:
During your time in Aliki you will most likely observe that the locals have 'quiet/nap time' between the hours of 2:00-5:00 pm. Should you choose not to take advantage of this time by resting or napping, we ask that you respect that others are resting and keep the noise level low.
The house will be cleaned and we will provide clean linens and towels. Please bring your own beach towels. The towels we provide are for the bathroom and are not intended for you to remove them from the home. It is your responsibility to provide paper goods, beverages and food for your stay. Please note that under no circumstances should you flush toilet paper down the toilet. Please only use the waste basket.
Internet is available starting June 1st to the end of September.
We do not allow smoking in the home, but do allow it on the veranda. We also ask that you respect all the property in the home and treat it as you would your own. We will provide a clean environment for you to stay at and ask that you keep it in the same condition that you found it.
We kindly request that you abide by these rules.
Enjoy and have fun!
I love to travel with my husband and family. We live in the United States, but travel to Greece for the summer. Our home in Paros is our paradise.

Killer Ian McLoughlin hunt: Government defends day release
The Ministry of Justice has defended the day release of prisoners amid the hunt for a killer wanted over the fatal stabbing of a "good Samaritan".
The search for Ian John McLoughlin, 55, follows the death of Graham Buck, 66, in a Hertfordshire village on Saturday.
McLoughlin was on day release when Mr Buck was killed and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has said the programme of temporary release is "essential".
Police said 30 possible sightings of McLoughlin had been reported.
"Release on temporary licence is used to prepare prisoners for their eventual release from custody," a spokesman for the MoJ said.
"It helps to reduce the chance of reoffending by setting up appropriate employment and rehabilitation work in the community, and maintaining family contact.
"This is essential for successful resettlement."
McLoughlin had served 21 years of a minimum 25-year sentence for murder.
He was on an unsupervised day out from the Category D Spring Hill prison near Aylesbury when he fled.
'Airports on alert'
Another man hurt in the suspected robbery, in which thousands of pounds were stolen, has been released from hospital and is currently in what police described as a "place of safety".
Det Ch Supt Jeff Hill said Mr Buck had received "fatal stab wounds" and police were treating the death as murder.
Police said they had found a number of "items of interest" at the crime scene but were unable yet to state whether the murder weapon was among them.
It was unclear whether McLoughlin was armed, police said.
Police said they believed McLoughlin may have left Hertfordshire and confirmed their search had extended across the UK.
They said ports, police forces and airports across the country had been "put on alert".
McLoughlin is known to be a heavy drinker and police have appealed to owners of guest houses, hoteliers and pubs to be "vigilant".
McLoughlin is described as white, about 6ft (1.8m) tall, with straight, greying, collar-length hair and of average build.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts has been urged to contact police or Crimestoppers.

Dymatize is an internationally recognised US company who have been around for almost twenty years, forging a strong reputation supplying supplements to a varied clientele of athletes in a wide variety of team and individual sports. With their own manufacturing plant and completely in-house product development, Dymatize are known for their high quality products which they stand behind 100% – Dymatise is one of the most independently tested brands on the market and their products stand up to scrutiny. M.P.ACT is a new pre workout which has just joined the massive Dymatize range. Let's take a look.
Dymatize M.P.ACT Pre Workout Highlights
- Proven ingredient
- Versatile and comprehensive
- Independently verified results
Dymatize M.P.ACT Pre Workout Ingredients & Dosage
M.P.ACT is a comprehensive product which is made up of three proprietary ingredient matrices.
The 5g Muscle Power Blend features a number of classic, well tested and established ingredients like Creatine Monohydrate, CarnoSyn Beta Alanine and 2:1:1 BCAAs alongside the newer creatinol-O-phosphate, and Sustamine, a Glutamine-Alanine dipeptide.
The 3g Energy & Focus blend has covered a lot of bases with Taurine, N-Acetyl Tyrosine, Glucuronolactone, Rhodiola Rosea, Quercetin-O-Rutinoside, Green tea extract and Quercitin. M.P.ACT comes in two varieties, one of which contains 200mg caffeine, and a caffeine free version.
Finally, the Vaso Active blend, which weighs in at 1g per serve, and contains an exciting blend of Agmatine Sulfate, NITRO2GRANIT pomegranate extact and beet extract.
Dymatize M.P.ACT Pre Workout Pros & Effectiveness
The primary ingredients of this formulation have been chosen well. The subject of decades of study, Creatine Monohydrate is still one of the safest and most effective muscle building ingredients around. Beta Alanine has a lot of research supporting a role in increasing muscular endurance, and CarnoSyn is the best and purest brand on the market. BCAAs promote muscle growth and support recovery, and this quick absorbing micronised preparation is included in a physiological ratio.
In making the decision to produce M.P.ACT in regular and caffeine free versions, Dymatize have not only expanded the potential market for this product, but have shown that they are listening to the needs of customers. There isn't a great deal of choice when it comes to caffeine free pre-workouts and it is a shame to have to choose between the ingredient list you want, and going caffeine free. M.P.ACT caffeine free is great for people who are cycling off caffeine, and those who work out late at night and still want a boost. It also means that you can take a double dose without an attack of the jitters.
Dymatize are a company who have a long history of ensuring safe and effective products through stringent quality control and testing. M.P.ACT is no exception. This supplement is guaranteed not to contain any illegal or banned substances, and is used by elite athletes. On top of this, M.P.ACT has been externally tested for performance attributes by leading researchers, where it was shown in a recent trial to increase strength, enlarge the muscles and improve body composition.
Dymatize M.P.ACT Pre Workout Cons
M.P.ACT contains a fantastic blend of ingredients, but this may be undermined by the dosage in which they are present. This is particularly the case looking at the Muscle Power Blend. Although we don't know the exact doses of each ingredient, given the 5g dosage, It is clear that many of the ingredients are included in amounts a lot of people will find low. In addition, the proprietary blend makes it difficult to identify which ingredients these may be.
While this supplement features a number of ingredients with known effectiveness, there are also a few products in this formulation that don't have a great deal of scientific evidence to support activity in the role for which they were included. This includes creatinol-o-phosphate and the two quercetin derivatives. While the quercetins aren't known for their mood enhanching effects, they are great antioxidants, so it's not a bad inclusion.
Dymatize M.P.ACT Pre Workout Taste & Mixability
Dymatize are known for their great flavours, which are developed in-house, and have at times been quite unique. In spite of this, they've chosen to stick to the classics with M.P.ACT, which comes in Watermelon, Fruit Punch, Raspberry and Raspberry Lemonade.
M.P.ACT doesn't dissolve instantly, but it's not hard work. This is a pleasant and refreshing drink that successfully hides the bitterness of some of the ingredients.
Dymatize M.P.ACT Pre Workout Verdict
Dymatize has done well in formulating a product that addresses so many aspects of workout performance, and this is a great all round product. Having both a caffeinated and an uncaffeinated versions of this pre-workout is a big plus, and makes M.P.ACT even more versatile. Some people may consider certain ingredients underdosed, but independent testing shows that M.P.ACT is effective in improving performance and physique. You can't argue with results, so we think M.P.ACT is worth a try.

Court dances from the Renaissance period integrated with contemporary movement. It's not what you expect to find at a dance concert, but it's what Tamara McCarty choreographed for her University Honors Program thesis, which has been lauded at dance concerts and research competitions.
Mentored by Colleen Dunagan (Department of Dance), the senior dance major explored the codification of gendered movement in Renaissance court dances by tracking choreographic changes in the dance practice and the sociopolitical influences of elite society.
McCarty attended workshops with the Dolmetsch Historical Dance Society in England to learn how to perform historic court dances. She created Boundaries to physically explore choreographic elements of the court dances and masculine and feminine gender constructs in movement. During her process, she took historic steps and integrated them with contemporary dance ideas to explore gender today.
In her research, McCarty notes that elite rulers used dance as a political tool to exemplify and demonstrate power. Social roles were rehearsed as men moved strongly and women softly. Today, she notes, it is not necessary to maintain those social constructs - male and female dancers are equably capable of performing a wide range of movement qualities and styles.
Boundaries was one of 10 dances selected for CSULB's Contemporary Dance Concert in February. That same month, McCarty presented her research at the CSULB Student Research Competition, winning first place in the Creative Arts and Design category. As a result, she will present at the statewide CSU Student Research Competition at Cal Poly Pomona in May.
McCarty also presented her choreography and dance research at the American College Dance Festival Association's (ACDFA) Baja Regional Conference earlier this month and was featured in the Gala Concert.
A dancer since she was 4 years old, McCarty plans to move to New York to dance with a professional company after she graduates next month. She also wants to attend graduate school to study dance history and inspire a new generation of dancers as a teacher and choreographer.

I always hated the way city people indirectly referred to the country as "uncivilized." You know, you hear someone passing through a small town saying, "I can't wait to get back to civilization." I can't help but laugh at that, because sometimes the city seems so much less civilized, at least by the standards I knew once upon a time. Where I grew up, you smile and nod to just about everyone you see. People hold doors for each other, and everyone, even ladies, have a good firm handshake accompanied by eye contact. You say, "Yes sir," and "no ma'am" and "please" and "thank you" — even to people you don't know. There's just a different pace and lifestyle there. A society all it's own.
Now, I'm not dissin' the city. I've grown to love this Kansas City chapter of my life. (Although, I'm still certain that someday I'll be back out in the wide open.) It's civilized here, but civilization is different.
For instance, in the city, life moves so fast. If a bus stalls out in the middle of the street, you best be certain that there's a dozen or more people who are certain that they need to get where they are going RIGHT NOW and that their delay is a bigger issue than yours. While it's easy to get caught up in that rush, I think I learned valuable life lessons about patience by spending countless hours of my teenage and college years held up by farm equipment on rural highways — or, better yet, willingly following at a distance with my flashers on when added caution was necessary.
It's not a bad thing — city living tends to demand a faster pace. The high-stress corporate world that urban centers tend to revolve around requires it. My slower-paced country friends ask me why I'd step into a stressful job in a "big city" when there are easier, more accommodating lifestyles. I kind of like the thrill. While I need a routine, I also need variety, and my dynamic, busy, exciting lifestyle right now fills that need.
When I came back to Kansas City (through snow storms, bad traffic, and a very long day), I don't really think I came "back to civilization" really. It was kind of an anthropological readjustment. My mom and stepdad live about ten miles outside of a town of 400 people. My hometown was a rural "metropolis" of 3,000 people. Civilization isn't lacking there. It's just different. Slower. More pastoral. But, Kansas City is home nowadays, and I'm incredibly happy to be back.
Now that I'm back to the "new normal" here in Kansas City, let's talk about 2013. I boldly say that 2012 was the biggest year yet for me, but 2013 has some exciting possibilities:
- I'm planning on doing runs. As in, actual races. I don't plan on "winning" any of them, but I do plan on training for and completing them.
- I'm planning on reading the Bible. I've never really taken the time to make it a conscientious part of my life. While I remember stories from Sunday school, I never gave it the thought or time it deserved. Luckily, Christ Community Church is having a congregation-wide program called Open Here that lets all of us embark on that journey together.
- I'm planning on losing the rest of my college/bad life decisions weight. I often refer to a lot of it as "emotional baggage weight" because most of it was gain as a side effect of an eating disorder. Diet and exercise. No quick fixes, no tricks. Just self-control, focus, and less dependence on elevators and cars.
- It'll be my first full calendar year in Kansas City. That, in and of itself, is huge. But, it's also my first full year as a college graduate and a full-time professional.
- 2013 is also my first year of student loan debt repayment. I made my first payment last night. Now I get to go through the nonsense of trying to get things as consolidated as possible and figuring out the right finance readjustment options. (In case you didn't know, I don't do numbers.)
- This is going to be the year I get involved in the Missouri Farm Bureau. Thanks to Chris Chinn for helping me get the ball rolling on my Missouri Farm Bureau involvement. I'm looking forward to a great year!
- I'm also looking forward to an AMAZING year with Relay for Life of Kansas City Missouri. If you aren't familiar with Relay for Life, it's a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. $.80 of every dollar raised goes back to resources for patients and research. I talk about Relay for Life of KCMO and American Cancer Society in another post.
- 2013 is the year of the ukulele. I'm not that good at it, but I enjoy it. So, dangit, I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can while I can!
- Overall, I aim for 2013 to be the year of the Best Kelly I Can Be. I look forward to it being a healthy, happy, busy, thrilling, rural-and-urban year full of all of the amazing people, organizations, and causes that God has brought into my life.
Let's make 2013 amazing. What were your biggest moments of 2012? And what are you looking forward to for 2013?

A student who allegedly showed a knife to others on a school bus was arrested and charged with having a weapon on school property.
The Liberty Middle School youth had his backpack searched after school officials were told of the incident. A knife and a drawing of a crown with the word "Latin Kings" was also found, as was an empty plastic soda bottled which appeared to have been converted into paraphernalia for smoking marijuana.
3 A man was charged with fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, and driving while license suspended or revoked after the chase he was involved in ended when his car became airborne for more than 150 feet.
Christopher Watson, 34, refused a Marion County Sheriff's Office deputy's attempt to stop his 1995 Taurus. Watson was driving at a high rate of speed through an intersection - southeast along Highway 484, from the area of County Road 475-A, just before 5 p.m., Monday..
The deputy conducted a computer check of the license plate and learned Watson was the owner of the Taurus. Plus, the deputy discovered Watson's driver's license is suspended. That information, along with Watson's speeding, led to the initial attempt to stop the Taurus.
Watson swerved onto the south shoulder of the road and struck a culvert. The Taurus went into the air – at least 15-20 feet – for approximately 150 feet, striking several trees, landing on the car's roof in a cluster of trees.
Watson was flown to Orlando for treatment.
3 A golf cart left unattended by a security guard at Spruce Creek was stolen on Dec. 3. The cart was red, had a vinyl enclosure over the passenger compartment, had two yellow lights on the roof and had a "security" label on the front.
3 Sheriff's deputies are investigating a break-in at an Oak Run residence on Southwest 115th Place in which jewelry and cash were taken.
3 Another burglary, at Southwest 79th Circle in Oak Run, is being investigated. Jewelry was taken and other items were searched.
3 Two people were arrested and charged with retail grand theft at Walmart on Dec. 1 in mid-afternoon. Misty Danielle Thompson, 24, of Pine Pass Court, and Sandra Elizabeth Nash, 26, of Juniper Road, allegedly took $394.35 worth of merchandise from the store.
3 Candace Kay Bennett, 50, of Southwest 148th Lane, Dunnellon, was given a notice to appear for retail petty theft after she allegedly failed to pay for grocery items totaling $55.74.
3 Pamela Jean Weingartner, a third-grade teacher at Romeo Elementary School, who lives on Southwest 106th Street, was arrested after being stopped for speeding, in the rain, approximately 80 mph in a 50 mph zone on West State Road 40.

Reese's Stuffed Chocolate Pudding Cookies
We continue onto Week 7 of College Football, which means another delicious Football bite! This one's for all the cookie lovers out there! What's better than a chocolate pudding cookie? How about a chocolate pudding cookie stuffed with a miniature Reese's peanut butter cup? Oh yeah, now we're talking! 😀
I adapted these cookies from my favorite peanut butter pudding cookie, changed the pudding flavor to chocolate and stuffed them with a peanut butter cup to make them extra delicious. These babies should be illegal. And did I mention one of the best parts? They come together in less than 30 minutes!
Adding instant pudding makes the cookies so moist that they just melt in your mouth. They're best warm from the oven (seriously what cookie isn't?) or warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds. If you're a chocolate and peanut butter fanatic like me, this recipe is definitely for you!
Reese's Stuffed Chocolate Pudding Cookies
Soft chocolate peanut butter pudding cookies with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup surprise.
Yield: about 2 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (3.4 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
24 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and pudding; set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add vanilla extract and honey and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture, beat to combine.
Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a 1½-inch ball between your palms and flatten it a bit. Top with a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. Top with another tablespoonful of dough (so that the PB Cup is sandwiched between two tablespoons of dough). Roll into a ball so that the peanut butter cup is completely encased and place on the prepared cookie sheet, spacing the balls about 3 inches apart. Using your palm, gently flatten the dough balls slightly.
Bake 10 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Sounds yum! Will definitely be making these. How do you keep your trim figure with all the goodies you make!! I am struggling – ha ha.
I love cookies with a surprise inside! Especially when it's peanut butter.
I know my husband would love these. Will have to give these a try. 🙂
Oh boy, these sound fantastic! And I just happen to have a ton of mini pb cups in my apartment… 🙂
The directions look a little strange (some parts repeated? But not exactly or in the wrong order?) can you look them over and see if they need editing? Anyway, I'm a pb/choc fanatic, too. Can't wait to try them.
Hi Chris,
I just fixed the directions for you! I hope you enjoy the cookies….they were a huge hit in my house! 🙂

The most recent application of Carl Zeiss digital projection technology can be seen at the Grand Casino in the Swiss spa town of Baden, not far from Zurich. The technology has been used for a very special kind of digital cinema, offering 360 degree image projection.
The expertise Carl Zeiss has accumulated in the field of dome projection has proved to be equally valuable in this rather more unusual project. The system installed in Baden consists of six video projectors fed with images and videos by the powerdome computer system, which was specially developed by Carl Zeiss.
The Grand Casino Baden is located in the listed 'Kursaal' building and attracts some 1,200 visitors a day. It has recently been renovated and re-opened on 30 November 2012 complete with the new feature of its full-dome projection system.

NYCC: Petersen Prepares "Mouse Guard" for a "Weasel War"
From the looks of it, 2014 will certainly be the "Year of Mouse Guard." Creator David Petersen blew away fans during Archaia's "Mouse Guard" panel at this year's New York Comic Con with a plethora of behind-the-scenes images and hints about the acclaimed series' future, including news the next miniseries, "Mouse Guard: The Weasel War of 1149."
Stemming from Petersen's Dungeons & Dragons phase during college, "Mouse Guard" is a classic fantasy story told from the point of view of mice. "'Mouse Guard' is a silly premise," Petersen told the crowd. "It's mice standing on two legs, talking and beating animals that they'd never be able to beat in the wild."
Petersen then revealed his complicated conceptual process, explaining how he personally crafts cardboard dioramas of every individual set piece in the book, which allows him to illustrate faster and more efficiently.
"I find that if I just start building a model, I can design the whole thing in three dimensions and not make any mistakes," Petersen said. "It doesn't bother me that you figured [my mistakes] out, it bothers me that I got it wrong."
While Petersen crafts the main "Mouse Guard" stories entirely on his own, he also created the Eisner Award-winning "Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard" anthology series and invited contributors Jeremy Bastian and Corey Godbey to join him on stage. Petersen mentioned some of the other creators who worked on "Legends of the Guard" including Stan Sakai, Bill Willingham, and Mark Smylie, who initially green lit the project at Archaia Entertainment.
"Mouse Guard" has seen plenty of success as a book, but more recently the world has expanded into ours with various merchandise. Petersen detailed Israel Skelton's hand-crafted mouse-scale replica weapons; the first of which includes the Black Axe (from "Mouse Guard: The Black Axe") and Rand's shield.
Skelton Crew plans on releasing mouse-scale replicas of the hammer and tongs that forged the Black Axe, Lieam's Sword and Scabbard, Gwendolyn's Pike-Axe, and Louka's Sword, complete with a fully functioning acorn sword handle.
In addition to these replica weapons, Skelton will be working on Mouse Marionettes based on the character Baldwin the Brave from the "Mouse Guard" Free Comic Book Day issue limited to 100 pieces.
Much to the crowd's dismay, Petersen announced he will take a "Mouse" break for a little while. However, he did promise the next "Mouse Guard" story, "The Weasel War of 1149," will be longer and more epic than any of its "Mouse Guard" predecessors.
"Archaia doesn't know this," revealed Petersen. "But instead of 'Weasel War' being the normal 6-issue arc, I'm aiming for 8." The "Mouse Guard" creator mentioned "Weasel War" is actually the first "Mouse Guard" story he ever wrote, dating back to his initial creation of the concept during his college years. It's an epic that has been alluded to many times throughout the series, and only now is it being seen in full.
When the panel was turned over to the audience for questions, one fan asked about about the possibility of a "Mouse Guard" movie, and Petersen was quick to point out how difficult it would be to nail the tone of his work.
"Ultimately, the big test for whether or not we do a movie is whether or not they get it right," Petersen teased. "I'm talking to a producer right now and I've also got a VP of another studio who is very interested and is looking to start talking early next year."
While it may be some time before fans get another "Mouse Guard" book, perhaps they can expect some "Mouse Guard" movie news to tide them over in the meantime.
Stay tuned to CBR News for more on the future of "Mouse Guard."

"Must-sees/do in Kathmandu "
Singapore, Singapore
Where should I head as a allocentric tourist and backpacker? Is Tibet a good option?
Need more information? Question already been asked? Let the poster know!

(I just had to look up what allocentric means!)
We spent three weeks in Nepal recently and really did not love Kathmandu. There are certainly temples to see, but it's crowded, hard to navigate, and dustier than any city I've ever been in. I'd recommend using it as a base for trekking but getting out ASAP.
That said, Bhaktapur is 30-40mins east and is really special. The have a big swath of the city cordoned off from vehicle traffic and more temples per square kilometer than Kathmandu by a wide margin.
On the allocentric front, I'm not entirely clear. Are you looking to do some voluntourism?
(adding some new stuff)
We stayed in Vajra Guest House in Bhaktapur-- you can do cheaper, but they had lovely rooms, a great location, and wonderful staff ( http://vajraguesthouse.com/ ).
If you want to meet folks, you can't do better than to go trekking! You'll need 7-10 days for a good trek. On the short side, head to Poon Hill. If you've got more time (10-14), do Annapurna Base Camp or the full Annapurna Circuit Trek . The great thing about teahouse trekking is that you're staying in (dirt cheap) plywood "road houses" right on the trail with lots of other trekkers and communal eating/hangout areas. You'll meet tons of people and will be able to swap stories from the trail.
If you're not up for lots of hiking/hills, you can take a bus to Pokhara (5-8h bus). A lot of the trekking trailheads are over that way, so you could theoretically trek and then hang in Pokhora for a few days to rest up. It's right by a lake and has tons of hostels/restaurants (and some of the best/cheapest paragliding in the world).
We did 3 weeks in Nepal and have some more recommendations over here: http://www.50millionsteps.com/category/nepal/

Hello Tony thanks for the honest opinion! I wouldn't mind do voluntourism am thinking of going solo. Just really doing exploring and learning more about a new place :) I'll check Bhaktapur out thanks! Any suggestions as to places/accommodation I can go to make new friends? ·
@candy I updated my answer with a few more thoughts based on your comment! ·
Thanks a mil Tony that was extremely helpful :) Looking forward to heading to Nepal so much more now! ·

My friends and I went there last year and we just stayed in Kathmandu since we only had 4 days there. You can visit all the UNESCO sites but all of them have entrance fees. My friends and I decided not to stay in Thamel because we wanted to experience a bit of village life while we were there. I do recommend staying at Peacock Guest House in Dattatraya Square , Bhaktapur . The hosts, Arun and Indra are pretty great and they can help you map out your stay in Kathmandu. Just be sure to book in advance because they only have 10 rooms or so. Their breakfast is also pretty standard (toast, yogurt, fried potatoes), but Indra's guava jam is amazing.
If you're wary about the transportation like we were, ask Arun if he can negotiate with a cab to drive you around during your stay. It's bit of a splurge but we didn't have to worry about finding cabs or buses early in the morning or evening. Our cab driver also doubled up as our camera man for pictures and was a great source of ideas on where to go.
Lastly, if you decide to stay in Bhaktapur , set aside one day to wake up really early to explore Durbar Square . The sunrise and early morning rituals were a pretty sight to see without the horde of tourists.

HI Candy,
I have been to both Kathmandu and Tibet in 2012 summer. It was the most rewarding and amazing experience in my life.
I would definitely suggest you to go Tibet just to see how spiritual the people are there. There are many hostels in Lhasa. People would post their trip schedule on the board to get more people in their team. You could contact them and join them.
I stayed in Kathmandu and Tibet for about 20 days. Just speechless. Let me know if you have any questions I am willing to help you if I could.

One of Tiger Woods's playing partners at this year's Masters said Woods has been unfairly criticized for his illegal drop on the 15th hole during the second day of the tournament.
Scott Piercy, who was paired with Woods along with Luke Donald, on that fateful day he "didn't give it much thought" during the round. A viewer called in to report Woods's violation, which Piercy said should be eliminated from the game.
"I don't think it's fair that he was put under that much scrutiny, that somebody could call in and penalize him or try to get him disqualified. I think that's something that needs to be taken out of golf completely," Piercy told SB Nation. "In no way was he trying to cheat. It just brings up questions that make him look bad … If it was me, nobody would have ever heard about it."
Woods had to take a drop when his approach shot to the par-5 hole hit the flagstick and went in the water. Had is shot not hit the flagstick, Woods would have likely been in position to take the lead in the tournament.
