(Phoenix, Ariz. – June 20, 2005) Attorney General Terry Goddard has filed suit against U.S. Auto Management Corporation of Phoenix and its affiliated offices located in Cave Creek, Glendale, Mesa, and Scottsdale, as well as a spin-off company, Auto Payment Solutions. The suit alleges the companies engaged in a vehicle sublease rescue scheme that often harmed car owners and lessees financially and damaged their credit.
The complaint, filed June 16 in Maricopa County Superior Court, alleges that between 2000 and 2004, U.S. Auto Management (USAM) and Auto Payment Solutions offered owners and lessees of vehicles subject to retail installment loans or lease contracts the opportunity to be relieved of their existing loan or lease obligations. USAM and Auto Payment Solutions located a sub-lessee to assume the owner's remaining monthly payments until the vehicle was paid off or the lease term concluded and take possession of the vehicle.
"Victims who could not afford to make their car payments sought help, but these companies often only made things worse. Instead of helping consumers as they promised, these companies often took advantage of them with deceptive claims," Goddard said. "Consumers need to be wary of these types of quick-fix offers."
Court documents allege that USAM and Auto Payment Solutions' various Web sites represented that the companies:
- Could provide vehicle owners with a means of removing themselves from loan or lease payments without dealership or lender penalties;
- Guaranteed that all vehicle monthly loan or lease payments, as well as insurance premiums, would be made on time;
- Verified and monitored required auto insurance premiums; and
- Created a worry-free arrangement to protect the owner's investment and credit.
The owners varied their promises, but used the same basic business model to entice customers into turning over their vehicles. The USAM Cave Creek and Scottsdale locations also purchased print advertisements and ran commercials on the radio.
The lawsuit states that USAM and Auto Payment Solutions did not deliver on their promises and violated the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act by falsely representing their vehicle sublease rescue services. Specifically:
- USAM and Auto Payment Solutions told vehicle owners that they could find a user to assume the lease or loan payments, when in fact, the owner's lease or loan documents likely prohibited such a practice;
- USAM and Auto Payment Solutions concealed from vehicle owners the fact that vehicle subleases are prohibited by Arizona law;
- USAM and Auto Payment Solutions concealed the owner's financial lender often prohibited the sublease of vehicles without lender approval;
- USAM and Auto Payment Solutions assured owners that vehicle users would maintain full insurance coverage on vehicles in their possession, when in fact, numerous users did not maintain such insurance;
- USAM and Auto Payment Solutions told customers that a person "using" the owner's vehicle would maintain and repair any damage to vehicles in their possession, when in fact the companies often lost contact with the vehicle user and could not monitor maintenance or repair records.
The Attorney General's Office is asking the Maricopa County Superior Court to:
- Permanently restrain the Defendants from further conduct;
- Provide restitution to the victims in this case;
- Require the Defendants to return to all the victims any money or property acquired through deceptive practices;
- Impose a penalty of up to $10,000 for each violation of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act;
- Require the Defendants to reimburse the Attorney General for costs of the investigation and reasonable attorney's fees.
Arizona residents who feel they have been a victim of any fraud are asked to contact the Attorney General's Office in Phoenix at 602-542-5763; in Tucson at 520-628-6504 or outside the Phoenix or Tucson Metro areas at 1-800-352-8431 or visit the Web site at www.azag.gov. Residents can also visit one of the satellite offices located throughout Arizona to file a consumer complaint. A list of satellite office locations can be found on the Web site at www.azag.gov.

How to Use HDFaces Organizer by GoToMeeting
In this video, you'll learn how to turn on and use HDFaces, how to customize your webcam settings, and learn a bit about HDFaces organizer controls. HDFaces requires both the webcam and the GoToMeeting software to be installed on the computer you'll be using to join the meeting. A high-definition webcam is recommended in order to take advantage of the high-resolution streaming offered by HDFaces. Before the meeting, make sure that the webcam is properly connected to the computer and ready for use. Once the GoToMeeting session has begun, one-click activation of the webcam is accessible from a couple different places on the control panel: at the top, and within the attendee pane. It is also available from the minimized control panel. Make sure settings are optimized in the webcam panel. Click on the webcams dropdown and select preferences. The preferences menu shows the webcam that is being used by HDFaces, and the display format. The advanced tab allows the streaming video to be fine-tuned. The webcam viewer window can be maximized, minimized, and expanded. Webcam streaming can be stopped with the click of any of the webcam buttons in the control panel. In addition, organizers may turn off an attendee's webcam and they can request that an attendee turn on their webcam if it is not on already. Up to 25 webcams can be streamed at once.

How to Use Co-organizer Features in GoToMeeting
Welcome to a brief tutorial on how an organizer on a GoToMeeting account can invite other organizers from their team to be co-organizers in a GoToMeeting session. A common example of a need for this option is when one organizer schedules meetings, but another organizer hosts the actual GoToMeeting events. The main organizer starts by logging into his or her own account at GoToMeeting.com. Once logged into the account, the organizer will click on "schedule a meeting" at the top of the "My Meetings" page. When scheduling a meeting, under the "co-organizers" tab, the organizer can enter the email of a co-organizer and click "save." This will send a copy of the meeting to the co-organizers list of scheduled meetings. Next, a copy of the meeting invitation will open, which can be sent out to attendees. For more information on how to use co-organizer features in GoToMeeting, visit this URL: https://link.gotomeeting.com/coorganizer-help People searching for help on using the co-organizer feature in GoToMeeting also search: "GoToMeeting change organizer" or "GoToMeeting co organizer start meeting" in their preferred search engine.

You know what today needs? It needs a mindless webgame that will leave you weeping in the corner, confused (and possibly aroused, you sick bastards). Thankfully there is such a game! nutcasenightmare has given unto an unwilling world the majesty that is Reimagine: The Game. Half platform freakout, and half traipse through every 4Chan/Reddit meme of the last 18 months, Reimagine kinda kicked my brain's ass's brain.
Which means it's perfect for a post-holiday Tuesday, yes?
Get some. Get some hard.

One Mommy and Three Daddies
Summary: Isabella Swan and her husband, Jacob Black, desperately want a child but her husband is unable to get her pregnant. Her husband's friends decide to help them by sperm donation. But she suddenly loses her husband in an accident and she gives birth to her daughter but does not know which of her husband's friends fathered her child. The father of Bella's child can either be Jasper, Emmett and Edward. OOC. AH.
I just got this idea when I was watching OMaTD. Since I'm so obssessed with Twilight Saga at the time, a friend of mine encouraged me to make a Twilight fanfic OMaTD style. So I decided to give it a try. ;) NOTE: I don't have a beta reader so I apologize for my future mistakes and stupidity. :) Disclaimer: I don't own TWILIGHT nor One Mommy and Three Dads.
1. Chapter 1
Rating 0/5 Word Count 1478 Review this Chapter
Jacob's POV
Hi. I am Jacob Black. I'm an architect and I am married to the most gorgeous woman in the whole wide world, Isabella Swan - Black. Our relationship is so strong for we love each other so much. I will give anything for her, except for one thing, the thing that she wanted the most. She wants to have a child.
Ever since the day we are married, we kept trying and failing. We did all traditions Bella named. We used all the things that are related to baby making. But after all those hard work, here we are, 3 years after, strolling at the park surrounded by parents and their babies, and childless.
Every time a family walked near us, Bella will peek at the stroller, make cooing sounds to the baby. She looks at the couple, saying, "Aw. What a cute baby you have." And every time she said that, I looked away.
Luckily, my phone beeped three times.
I opened the first one, it's from Jasper.
"We are on our way to your humble abode, mate. Hope we're not interrupting anything. Be decent. Be there at 10."
I opened the next one from Edward.
"You better be at your scrawny house, Black. We're using my car which means we're using my gas. Do you know that there is an oil price increase today? And I'm running out of gas. Meaning I need to spend money. So if you're not there, well, go there now! You have 10 minutes."
I opened the last one, from Emmett.
"Bring your sorry ass by the door and open it the moment I knocked or I'll knock it down. And your wife better cook loads of food. I'm fucking hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I laughed at my friends. Bella looked at me questioningly.
"We should go home." I said.
"Ugh. Don't tell me your friends are coming over." She groaned.
I just smiled at her and we stood up, offering my hand for her.
She shook her head and whispered at my ear. "Last one at the park is a chicken." She snickered and ran away.
"You're on!" I shouted back at her. I don't care if people are looking at us. I love her and her immature antics. So I played along with her, and ran as fast as I could.
One of the perks of our house is that it's near the park, we can always open the window to get a whiff of fresh air or we could always jog there for a quick exercise.
She quickly ran to our porch and opened the door. She went inside but not before she stuck her tongue at me and giggle away. I went inside too, swiftly grabbing her and started tickling her sides. She squirmed and laughed causing us to tumble down the floor. We laughed together, enjoying the moment. But then, we heard a cough behind us. 3 tall men are standing there, with their hands on their hips, tapping their feet impatiently.
Bella blushed and stand quickly, mumbling a "sorry" and a "I'll just go to the kitchen and cook something."
I shook my head, not understanding why she's embarrassed. I followed her with my eyes, looking more beautiful than ever with flushed cheeks.
Someone cleared his throat again, bringing my attention to my childhood friends standing in front me and their weird poses.
The first one is Jasper Whitlock. He's tall, blonde-haired and a comic artist. He's a total man-whore. He has a girlfriend here, there, and everywhere.
Next to him is Edward Masen. He's taller than Jasper, bronze-haired and a stock broker. He's a tightwad. He's goal is to marry a rich girl and be rich.
Last but definitely not the least, (well, except for the size of his brain) is Emmett McCarty. He's the tallest and biggest among the four of us. Very useful for his work as a policeman slash detective. He has brown curls and dimples. He's very carefree and a mama's boy.
They all lived together at a house near the city, being all bachelor and etc.
"Are you like, sure you're not like, gay, Jakey? Cause you're like, watching us like, strangely." Jasper said in a sickly bimbo voice, snapping me from my thoughts.
Emmett laughed and Edward snickered.
I glared at them. "Why am I the gay one? Isn't it me that's married?! Aren't you the bachelor ones?! Aren't you the ones who lived in one house?! How the fuck would I know that -"
"Jacob Black!" Bella interrupted me. On the day of our wedding, she made a rule that no one will cuss in her house.
I groaned, walking to the swear jar, and put all my change there.
They laughed harder.
"She's got you whipped, man!" Edward said, wiping the tear that fell from laughing.
I flipped him with the bird, walking to my wife. I don't give a fuck if they called me whipped or anything. I love her so they should suck it up.
Emmett recovered from laughing the moment he got a whiff of the delicious food my beautiful wife cooked. He ran inside, immediately sitting at the dining table, ready to eat.
Edward and Jasper followed, with bag full of dirty clothes. Jasper is already on his way to the laundry room. I sighed. It's always like this every week.
Bella served us our dinner. Emmett already scarfing down his food. He moaned. "Fuck, Bella! This is the most amazing, delicious steak that I had ever fucking tasted!"
Bella scowled at him.
He looked at her. "What?! You looked like I insulted you. It's a fucking compliment! Please don't cry."
Bella scowled deeper, pointing to the swear jar. Emmett groaned but stood up. I stuck my tongue out at him, feeling smug.
Edward laughed, "You're fucking whipped, too, dude!"
Bella frowned at him. His eyes widened, realizing what he just said, but followed Emmett to the jar.
When everybody is settled and eating quietly, my wife exclaimed. "Jakey, you should invite your friends more often." I looked at her strangely. She wanted them here? Didn't she groaned the moment she realized my friends are coming over?
"Why?" I asked her.
"Because she fucking loves us." Emmett said smugly, reaching out to kiss her cheek.
"Fuck yeah!" Jasper said, high-fiving Emmett.
Edward rolled his eyes.
"Because, the longer they're here, the richer our swear jar would be." She said, pointedly looking at Em and Jaz.
"Oh, fuck." Jaz mumbled.
"Heard that, Mr. Whitlock!" Bella said.
"Fuck, she has some ears on her, huh." Em muttered really quickly.
"That too, Mr. McCarty!"
"Damn!" Edward breathed.
"Mr. Masen!"
He groaned but followed Em and Jaz to S.J., our new baby.
I snickered. Jasper flipped me off. That made me laugh harder.
They slowly make their way back to the kitchen to finish their food.
"The only thing that always made me wonder for the past 2 years and 364 days, is why they kept the swear jar when they don't even have children around!" Edward said to no one, exasperated.
Bella sucked a deep breath.
"Excuse me." She choked back a sob and ran upstairs.
Em, Jaz and I continue to gaped at him.
We were shocked.
"What?" Edward said.
That made me snapped out of my shock. I am angry. Beyond angry.
How could he hurt my Bella?!
I rushed to him, grabbing his suit. "How could you?!"
"How could I what?"
He doesn't even realize what he had done!
"You insensitive, selfish, egotistical mother fucker!" My fist came in contact with his face.
"What did I do?!" He said, incredulous.
"Get the fuck out of my house!" I said, shoving him to the door.
Emmett and Jasper scurried after him.
"We're so sorry, man. I swear I'll beat some sense into him." Jasper said in a calming tone.
Emmett is already at the ground, tackling Edward, throwing solid punches to his face and chest.
Jasper took over and Emmett ran to me.
"Please tell Bella, she cooked the best steak and potatoes I have ever tasted. Tell her, we're so sorry and we took care of fuckward. Thanks dude." Emmett rushed back to the car along with Jasper, literally dragging Edward.
I released a calming breath, closing the door.
I looked at the stairs, debating if I should come to her or to leave her alone.
I went to the kitchen to clean up. I'll give her some time. If she wants to talk to me, she'll approach me.
I cleaned the dishes and the table. I even cleaned the grill and the oven.
I sighed, looking at the clock. I knew I can't prolong this talk any longer. So, I turn around, heading to the stairs.
I stopped dead in my tracks. A tiny silhouette was sitting at the stairs.

No one has a greater stake in conserving water than those who depend on it for their livelihood, and Texas farmers and ranchers on the Panhandle and South Plains regions are no exception.
Four years ago, in response to declining water levels of the Ogallala Aquifer, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Texas launched the Ogallala Aquifer Initiative (OAI) program in an effort to assist producers in addressing water quantity and quality concerns. The initiative has helped landowners improve irrigation systems and enhance the economic viability of cropland located above the aquifer. It also can offer opportunities to convert to non-irrigated production.
"The Ogallala Aquifer Initiative provides farmers and ranchers with technical assistance and financial assistance to support water and energy savings through proven conservation programs," said Mark Hall, NRCS Farm Bill program specialist in Lubbock. "More producers in Texas are applying advanced irrigation water management technologies to monitor crop demand and prevent overwatering."
Currently, over 151,000 acres are enrolled in the initiative for more than $23 million.
OAI is administered through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The Gruhlkey brothers, a young farming trio from Deaf Smith County, have built their operation to almost 2,000 acres. They recently obtained funding from the OAI to convert 100 acres from row water irrigation to a micro subsurface drip system.
"The program provided the resources to help us install the best system for water use and efficiency. Our reward came at harvest with 240 bushel corn in one of driest years on record. In a normal year with 18 inches of rain, I might be able to save 20 percent on water use with this system," said Braden Gruhlkey.
Through the combination of using low energy precision spray application on center pivot sprinklers and no-till and strip till methods, the Gruhlkeys' have reduced evaporation, conserved soil moisture, maintained ground cover, prevented soil erosion, and improved air quality.
The Gruhlkey brothers produce corn, cotton, wheat, sorghum seed, and sorghum silage. Braden said they plan to install more drip irrigation systems, because drip irrigation offers them a tool to grow crops with less water and input costs.
With Texas currently experiencing one of the worst droughts in history, producers like the Gruhkeys are accelerating water savings of the Ogallala Aquifer.

Sao Paulo (Reuters) - Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt will compete in a 150 meters race on Brazil's Copacabana Beach next month against three other sprinters in what the Jamaican called a "street meet" type showdown.
Organizers are to build a track on the famous sands for the March 31 race although they did not say whether it would have a bend.
The 150 meters race is an unusual distance that rarely features in top competitions. Bolt set a world best for the event in Manchester in 2009.
A six-time Olympic gold medalist, Bolt, 26, holds the 100 meters world record of 9.58 seconds and the 200m record of 19.19, and was part of the Jamaica team that set the 4x100 record of 36.84.
The race in Rio is only the second international event Bolt has confirmed for 2013. He recently announced he will compete in the 200m at Oslo's Bislett Games Diamond League meeting on June 13. He ran a 400m recently in Jamaica.
Rio de Janeiro will host the next Olympic Games in 2016 and Bolt has said he wishes to compete here. He visited the city last October on a promotional tour.

K-Mart is Going to Let You "Ship Your Pants!" [VIDEO]
Kmart's new "Ship My Pants" TV commercial is a viral video hit. There's even a #ShipMyPants hashtag on Twitter. The premise of the funny ad is simple: the word 'ship' sounds like another word.... you know.
Throw in a kid who gleefully informs his father that he can't wait to ship his pants and an elderly woman who explains how shipping her pants is "very convenient" and you have a recipe for a good time.
There's also some sort of marketing message about having the stuff you can't find in Kmart stores shipped to you for free. But who cares about that?

Quote:Mikey C
I find this season if the club are given feedback before an event and post they respond positively. Did anyone mention prior to the game there didnt seem to be much promotion?
Quote:covmick1/Michael Carter
Points to consider
The game was to be played at BPA by permission of CRFC.
The game was the province of the Warwickshire RFU.
One of the WRFU committee is a poster on here. It could have been advertised in the local press/Radio. It may have done I do not know. The poster could have put in on this MSG board.
Is it the Coventry RFC fault ? Should CRFC spend money in the local press to advertise it. Or do you think it is WRFC who should make the effort ?
You had to be pretty sharp to see any mention on the WRFU website. 'Warwickshire Cup' is an option in their menu, but the link goes nowhere: No mention of previous rounds, the final or anything else. But then they're a regional administrative body for the amateur game. Is Judging them by the standards we've come to expect harsh?

Does Botox help neck pain?
By Genevra Pittman
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The ingredient in a Botox injection probably won't help ease neck pain, nor will it help neck pain sufferers do physical activities any better or improve their quality of life, a new review of past studies suggests.
"The available evidence just suggests that it doesn't work," study author Dr. Paul Michael Peloso told Reuters Health. If patients have neck pain, "they and their physicians should be discussing other therapies," Peloso added.
The ingredient in Botox, called botulinum toxin, is used to treat a range of conditions, including wrinkles, migraines, and excessive sweating. Botox is just one of several brand names for the drug, which is given through injections. None of the brands has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat neck pain -- but doctors may use the drug "off-label" for that purpose.
A recent report from the Institute of Medicine suggested that chronic pain, including neck pain, costs the United States more than $600 billion each year and affects about four in 10 adults (see Reuters story of June 29, 2011).
Peloso, the head of clinical research at the drug company Merck in Rahway, New Jersey, said doctors might consider using the Botox ingredient for neck pain after other more common treatments, including drugs like Tylenol and aspirin or exercises, haven't worked.
Each injection typically costs a few hundred dollars, and patients may need repeat injections every few months for the drug to have a continued effect.
The new review analyzed the combined results of nine studies that tested several brands of botulinum toxin A, including Botox (sold by Allergan) in people with new or chronic neck pain and related headaches.
Those studies compared the effect of botulinum toxin with drug-free sham injections or other pain treatments, using patient reports or doctor observations of pain, physical abilities, and quality of life. Altogether the studies involved 503 patients, including 272 who received injections of the drug.
Peloso and his colleagues noted that some of the studies had limitations -- for example, it wasn't clear how some had split the patients up into Botox and not-Botox groups, or researchers hadn't kept treatment types hidden from patients or from those who measured their symptoms.
But taken together, the studies suggested botulinum toxin had done nothing to help relieve neck pain or related headaches, either alone or when added to exercise programs or other medications, when researchers reassessed patients at four weeks and six months after injections.
In addition, people given botulinum toxin were more likely to have a side effect, including soreness or flu-like symptoms, than those not given the drug.
The researchers concluded that almost all of the studies showed that any possible benefits were not worth the potential harms. Their findings are presented in the Cochrane Library, a publication of the Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates medical research.
A company spokesperson told Reuters Health in an email that "Allergan does not have clinical programs evaluating the efficacy and safety of our botulinum toxin products in patients with subacute or chronic neck pain," but that Botox is indicated to treat "cervical dystonia," in which neck muscles contract involuntarily, and neck pain linked to the condition. She also pointed out that the review didn't focus only on Botox-brand treatments.
Peloso said that while some evidence suggests injections of steroids or anesthetics might help people with neck pain, the best pain-relief choice right now seems to be exercises that strengthen muscles and improve range of motion.
However, he pointed out, "The problem is as you would guess for exercise that it's just not as simple as a one-time visit" or a daily drug -- one reason his team was interested to see if Botox might have some benefit.
He said that companies have little incentive to study treatments for neck pain, which can be caused by anything from overuse of neck muscles to diseases such as arthritis and gets more common with age. Peloso added that his company does not make a Botox competitor, although it does market pain products that could be used for neck pain.

"I look at the markets as being unstable, which means some days they go up a lot and some days they go down rapidly, but they don't advance very far when you look at real growth," Paul said on CNBC's 'Futures Now' on Thursday.

For several months I had considered investing in Fancy Colored Diamonds. I heard all the negative jargon about unscrupulous people in the diamond business and how you could be taken to the cleaners, sort of speak. However, I called Northern Cross Diamonds and spoke to Stephen who is the owner. My experience with him from the early process to the actual purchase of a Fancy Colored Diamond from him was quite a journey. He urged me before buying the diamond to do my own due diligence by comparing the price and quality. Needless to say I did not find one of like shape, color, clarity or price that would have changed my decision. If you would like to speak to me directly for more information you can get my telephone number from Northern Cross.
My husband and I chose NCD to assist us in finding the perfect engagement ring that would compliment my style. We mostly dealt with Stephen who was very knowledgeable and really took the time to listen to what I was looking for and offered a really great selection of options to choose from. Thank you Stephen and NCD; I couldn't be any happier with my brand new canary yellow diamond ring. You wouldn't believe the compliments and interest that people give it. I just love it!! Thank you again for everything!
I have bought several coloured diamonds from Northern Cross Diamonds. I have found that Northern Cross gets me the best prices -- even when the diamonds come from another vendor and are listed with the other vendors at a higher price. Stephen Mitanidis has spent hours of his time educating me on coloured diamonds and helping me to choose diamonds that have the best investment potential. He has also allowed me to trade coloured diamonds that I own for coloured diamonds that I want and has assured me that Northern Cross will help me to sell my coloured diamonds if I choose to do so. If you buy a coloured diamond, I recommend that you consider showing it to your family members and friends. Most of them will be impressed with how it looks and might want to seize the opportunity to buy one or more before the value of coloured diamonds appreciates further.
We accept Credit Card, Wire Transfer payments and provide Free, Fully Insured, Trackable Shipping to anywhere in the world.
All of our diamonds are Guaranteed Natural Coloured are GIA certified and 100% Conflict-Free.
Northern Cross Diamonds fully stands behind every single product that we sell. If you are unsatisfied with any portion of your transaction we will provide a 100% refund of our product within 30 days of purchase. No questions asked and no obligations. That is our promise to you.

In February 2004 we made a short trip to the region of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica together with my father and my sister. It was meant to be a holiday for relaxing rather than a trip for colleting phasmids.
We took a Martin-Air flight from Amsterdam via Miami (USA) to Alajuela, Costa Rica. After spending a night at the hotel Barceló San Jose Palacio in San José, we drove by van to Manuel Antonio the next morning. Close to Jaco we came across the well-known crocodile river, where actually some crocodiles were relaxing in the sun. Reaching Manuel Antonio on narrow streets took almost 4 hours. Our hotel, the "Parador", was situated on a small peninsular which was lined by two beaches. A really wonderful place admist breathtaking nature. The five star-resort offered everything one can dream of but unfortunately there were also tourists who took young Tica girls to their rooms. In addition to this, the fact that sewage was piped directly into the sea really displeased us. We had chosen this resort mainly because it was bordered by forests and from our balcony we could observe squirrel and howler monkeys. A privat beach, belonging to our hotel was just about 500 away and offered great swimming opportunities. For 12 days this hotel was our place of departure, from where we ventured on different field trips with our rental-car (Jeep Cherokee). Several times we visited the beautiful Manuel Antonio National Park and it's beautiful beaches. It was amusing to observe a rooster fish (about 120 cm long) going after a flock of smaller fishes, with his big spikes exposed high above the water level. Being in panic, the smaller fish jumped out of the water and abruptly ended up on a fat tourist, who then rushed back to the beach at a quite unexpeted speed.
During our stay in Costa Rica some rather strong earthquakes took place, which made the hotel's corrugated sheet roofs clattering.
We visited different Nature Reserves, Butterfly Houses and National Parks in this area. Phasmids found during our nightly field-trips were mainly Pseudophasma unicolor (Gray, 1835) und Oncotophasma martini (Griffini, 1896). A bit further inland we also found Calynda coronata (Carl, 1913). Apart from these we saw at least 2-3 snakes every night, which meant we had to be careful. Omnipresent were also Costa Rica's Black Iguanas (Ctenosaura similis), which can be quite confiding.
Some advice for Costa Rica travellers:

Poor maternal and newborn health is a significant contributor to the burden of disease in developing countries: worldwide approximately 350,000 women die during pregnancy and childbirth every year, and an estimated four million babies die in the first four weeks of life. The health of a mother and her newborn are closely linked, with most maternal and newborn deaths caused by the poor health of the mother before or during pregnancy, or by poor quality care during and immediately after childbirth.
Relatively few studies have examined how interventions affect both women and newborn children, identified synergies between interventions, or assessed the impact of efforts to integrate these interventions across the continuum of care. In close collaboration with researchers at Aga Khan University, Family Care International (FCI) undertook a program of work to highlight these interconnections and identify common advocacy messages to promote investment in and implementation of evidence-based interventions found to be beneficial to both women and newborns. A systematic review assessed recent and on-going research of the impact of potential interventions on maternal and newborn outcomes, with a particular emphasis on linkages between the two. Key conclusions included:
Building on the findings emerging from the systematic review (being prepared for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal later in 2012), FCI and Dr. Zulfiqar Bhutta of Aga Khan University developed core advocacy messages. These messages formed the basis of a set of advocacy materials for dissemination at key meeting and events:

The Today Show's annual contest to get married on the show and get a free honeymoon is underway. But the gays need not apply.
GLAAD has issued a call to action, not long after NBC explained, at their request, why gay and lesbian couples were excluded from the contest:
"For the TODAY show wedding, the couple must be able to be legally married in New York, which is where the wedding will take place."
But GLAAD isn't buying it.
This is not a valid argument since New York State legally recognizes same-sex marriages licensed in other states. Same-sex couples can now legally obtain marriage licenses in Iowa, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Washington D.C. NBC is mistakenly equating the marriage license with the wedding celebration.
Does any of this matter? Well, it does if you think that a show that regularly gets five to six million viewers and arguably sets a normative standard for mainstream America would benefit from allowing gays to compete. Is Today arguing in good faith when it says that legal marriage is the benchmark for inclusion? Or were they just trying not to offend the Real Americans that make up their base? Unfortunately for them, it's too late to avert controversy now.

Admission Requirements
Admission to a UW-Green Bay graduate degree program is a decision by the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Director of Graduate Studies and the faculty for the specific program identified by the student on the application form. The decision is a judgment of the student's suitability to succeed in graduate degree work at UW-Green Bay, based on educational background and educational objectives.
While UW-Green Bay has a basic admission policy for graduate study, a philosophy of personalized admission assures that each applicant is considered individually. Entry requirements for full admission include:
- A baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution.
- A 3.0 grade point average (gpa), measured on a 4.0 scale. Students from schools not using a grading system will be evaluated on an individual basis.
- Additional prerequisites for entrance to the specific program chosen.
Students who do not meet the 3.0 gpa requirement or who have other deficiencies may be admitted on a provisional basis. Provisionally admitted students who receive at least a B grade in courses totaling nine credits of graduate work after acceptance will be fully admitted.
International students must be prepared to demonstrate English proficiency by meeting the standards currently accepted. A full list of acceptable methods is available by contacting the Office of Graduate Studies. Applicants must also provide an Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials from Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) or another similar evaluation service in order for an application to be considered. International applicants who meet English proficiency and academic admission requirements will be admitted but also must show official evidence of financial resources adequate to provide for their educational expenses before an I-20 form will be provided.

Done the impossible is the story behind the rise, fall, and rebirth of the cult TV show Firefly. Firefly was ressurected thanks to efforts of the fans of this popular sci-fi show.In the documentary "done the impossible" the fans tell their part of this success story. They explain why and how they managed to get their Firefly heroes on the white screen in the popular movie Serenity.The makers of the documentary offer a free, Creative Commons licensed .torrent download of their film. They state: In our opinion, the modern state of copyright is counter productive to creativity and free culture. It puts unnatural restraints on "fair use", hinders the creative process and has fundamentally destroyed an entire industry before it was even born. Personally I'm impressed with the quality of this documentary, I highly recommend this one if you are interested in the story behind Firefly and Serenity.

The internet needs another hummus recipe like I need another final exam to cap off this grueling school semester, and yet, like a moth drawn to the light, I simply can't help myself. Enlivened with fresh veggies, roasted gently to reveal their natural sweetness, that humble bean dip has reinvented itself and squeezed its way back into my chickpea-loving heart. It's like a familiar tune played on a new instrument; comforting, beckoning, yet altogether novel once again.
After the sparks had waned and the romance dwindled over a frigid winter season, it only makes sense that the love affair should resume alongside spring fever. Warm weather calls for cold food, plus the call for potlucks and outdoor dining demand an agreeable staple that needs little fussing over in advance, and so returns hummus, with a vengeance. I have yet to meet a more perfect spring or summer party companion than well-chilled hummus.
Just like a proper primavera, what's so endearing about this little number is that nearly any fresh, seasonal veggies that are ripe and ready are ideal for swapping in. Think asparagus, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, even fresh peas! My only advice is to keep the shiitake, onion, and garlic constant, and they make up the backbone of this flavor profile, quietly hinting of umami in the background.
Hummus Primavera
- 3 Medium Zucchini
- 1 Medium Carrot, Peeled
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion
- 4 Fresh Shiitake Mushroom Caps
- 4 Cloves Garlic
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 14-Ounce Can Chickpeas, Drained and Rinsed
- 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 Tablespoon Water (If Needed)
- Black Pepper
- Fresh Parsley
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Roughly chop the zucchini, carrot, and onion, and place in a large bowl. Add in the mushroom caps, whole, peeled garlic cloves, and toss with the oil to coat. Spread all of the veggies out in one even layer on your prepared baking sheet, and roast for approximately 30 minutes; until the vegetables are all fork-tender and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Meanwhile, place the chickpeas in your food processor along with the lemon juice, tomato paste, salt, and spices. Blend to combine, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. The mixture should be somewhat dry at this point, as the veggies will add a lot of moisture. Introduce about half of the roasted vegetables to the food processor, and thoroughly puree, until super smooth. Have patience, because depending on your machine, this may take up to 5 minutes.
- Once silky-smooth (or as smooth as you can get the consistency), add in the remaining roasted vegetables, and pulse to incorporate. I like to leave it a bit chunky so that you actually know what you're eating here, and to give it a bit more color and texture. Add more water only if needed, along with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper and parsley to taste. Transfer to an air-tight container, and thoroughly chill for at least 3 hours before serving.

I always wonder at these complaints of "backstall problems" in various kites. In a majority of the cases it is simply a problem of rider input. Either you are riding with the kite too powered up for the conditions or being a bit ham fisted with pulling the bar in. To correct just lengthen the rear lines a few inches either by shortening the center line adjuster, adjusting at the knots on the rear leader lines, or adding pigtails. You can easily adjust all of the backstall out, but you do give up a little low end grunt as the kite creates maximum lift (power) right before the point of initiating stall.
When you first launch your kite and you are still on the beach, put your kite at about 11 o'clock and pull the bar all of the way in. If the kite starts flying backwards (stalling), you have too much power on. do this every time you kite and soon you will know exactly what feeling you are looking for to optimize your kites performance in the conditions.

ICYMI: Living pile of shit and judge on the Danish version of The X Factor. Thomas Blachman has created a new reality TV show where women strip nude and men judge them. Finally, a TV show that humiliates women and reduces their worth to their looks! The show, Blachman, which the creator named after himself, naturally, invites female contestants of all ages and sizes to get naked while two men sit on a couch and break them down for all of Denmark to see. Basically the premise is you take every person's nightmare and then do that on TV. I don't know anything about the Mayan calendar but this is the end of society, right?
Blachman created the show because he feels that it is extremely important to get "men discussing the aesthetics of a female body without allowing the conversation to become pornographic or politically correct." Good call. We really need to open some dialogue on what men think of naked women. I mean besides Howard Stern, Adam Carolla, Playboy, and everything on tv and in magazines, we really don't know what guys are thinking! On a recent episode of the show Blachman stares at a nude woman remarking, "Would you mind turning around for a moment? Very animated nipples. How does that pussy work for you?"
The female producer of the show, self-hating Sofia Fromberg, has actually come out in Blachman's defense. She says in a completely non-compelling argument, "I am representing DR2 which is a society channel. Our main focus is what's going on in society and we debate it. Here we have a program that reveals what men think about the female body. Quite honestly, what is wrong with that?"
The only good news in the story is that Danish citizens are outraged by the show and campaigning the network to cancel it. Respected Danish author Knut Romer has said, "The programme's so-called intention of breaking down taboos or challenging stereotypes is rubbish. It's more like a claustrophobic strip club which only serves to cement classic concepts of male dominance."
Blachman is currently trying to shop the TV show to the US. Let's all pray that American network executives have a little more class than their Danish counterparts. Confession: I'm worried.

Acting on concerns from prosecutors, a judge this week ordered Sam Carter — the ex-cop convicted of killing the Mapleton elk — be barred from having weapons and stay away from Boulder police, DAs, witnesses and the judge who presided over his trial.
Chief Judge Maria Berkenkotter stopped short of granting District Attorney Stan Garnett's full motion, denying a request to revoke Carter's $20,000 personal recognizance bond and instead set a secure $100,000 bond.
Separately, Carter was jailed Thursday after being arrested on suspicion of driving with a suspended license in connection with a 2013 DUI conviction in Jefferson County.
In the motion filed under seal Monday, Garnett argued that Carter — convicted of four felonies in early June for his role in the killing of the elk — was illegally in possession of firearms.
"We became aware over the weekend of some issues that caused concern about Mr. Carter's bond," Garnett said in an interview Friday. "There were three issues of concern. One was a more expansive protection order, two was alcohol and three was firearms."
Garnett declined to explain what caused his "concern" about Carter, and portions of the DA's motion remained under seal.
Carter's "firearms have been relinquished," Garnett added.
Carrie Slinkard, one of Carter's attorney, on Friday said she could not comment on the bond modifications because Garnett's motion had been filed under seal.
In that motion — unsealed after the judge ruled on Monday — Garnett asked for the addition of bond conditions including no alcohol, no weapons and no contact with various parties involved in Carter's criminal case.
Berkenkotter modified Carter's personal recognizance bond with several conditions.
They include: no alcohol, no drugs, no weapons, no contact with the Boulder Police Department, no contact with Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff, no contact the staff in the Boulder County District Attorney's Office and no contact with Judge Patrick Butler, who presided over Carter's trial, and his staff.
The conditions also include substance abuse monitoring, electronic alcohol monitoring and pre-trial supervision.
'He was the one who shot the elk'
Court documents show Carter had a blood-alcohol level of 0.21 at the time of his arrest on Sept. 25 in Littleton.
During the arrest process, police said Carter "constantly mentioned how he was a cop or use(d) to be one and that he was the one who shot the elk in Boulder," according to police records.
In addition to DUI , Carter was arrested on suspicion of DUI per se, driving on the wrong side of a divided highway and lane usage violation.
Those three charges were dismissed when Carter pleaded guilty to DUI in November.
According to court records, Carter was sentenced to 48 hours of community service, 30 days of electronic home-monitoring and two years probation in that case.
Garnett said his staff had known about the DUI conviction for "a while," but added that it was not relevant to the elk trial.
But when new information came to Garnett's office over the weekend, he decided to request court documents associated with the DUI.
"They confirmed that alcohol is a concern with Mr. Carter, as is driving," he said.
Staked out in Longmont
On Thursday, Carter was arrested at the Boulder County courthouse at 1035 Kimbark St. in Longmont after police received a tip that he had been driving with a revoked license.
According to court documents, police knew Carter had an appointment at the courthouse and waited for him nearby.
Police observed his black Chevrolet Tahoe pull into the parking lot around 1:50 p.m. and arrested him after he passed through the court's security checkpoint.
Carter told police that his ride fell through and that this was the first time he had driven without his license, according to court records. Police confirmed that his license suspension began Nov. 15 and ends Aug. 14.
In court at the Boulder County Jail on Friday, Judge Noel Blum set Carter's bond in the suspended-license case at $1,000 over the objections of prosecutors.
"The most concerning thing here is his mentality," Deputy District Attorney Katie Allison told the judge. "It appears that this defendant feels he is above the law."
But Blum disagreed, declining to set a stiff bond, or even no bond, saying, "Defendants with much more serious histories are not held on no bond for this charge."
By Friday evening, Carter had posted bond and was released from the Boulder County Jail. He is due back in court in Longmont on July 21 in the suspended-license case.
Guilty on all counts
In early June, Carter was convicted on nine counts — including four felonies — in connection with the killing of a beloved elk on Mapleton Hill on Jan. 1, 2013.
He was found guilty of attempting to influence a public official, a Class 4 felony; one count of forgery, a Class 5 felony; and two counts of tampering with evidence, a Class 6 felony.
He also was convicted on counts of first-degree official misconduct, illegal possession of a trophy elk with a Samson Law surcharge, conspiracy to commit illegal possession of wildlife, unlawful taking of a big game animal out of season and unlawful use of an electronic communication device to unlawfully take wildlife.
He is due for sentencing in that case Aug. 29, and faces up to six years in prison on the most serious charge, the Class 4 felony.

More power and efficiency.
All-new in 2010, the Subaru Legacy receives a pleasant refresh for 2013. Fuel economy is up to 32 mpg on the highway, thanks to a revised CVT and a slightly more efficient engine. Unfortunately, the turbocharged 2.5GT we enjoyed so much is cut from the 2013 roster, but the 3.6R models remain for those who favor acceleration over fuel saving. All Legacy sedans now feature a brake override system. Subaru's optional camera-based EyeSight driver-assistance system adds a precollision braking system, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. Subaru has stiffened the Legacy's chassis and suspension, which Subaru claims reduces body roll by 40 percent. Standard audio systems now feature Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming in addition to iPod controls and a USB port; the optional navigation system now includes a 7.0-inch touch screen, voice control, a rearview camera, SiriusXM NavTraffic, and premium speakers. Limited models now feature a rear-seat air duct to help regulate cabin temperature. Overall, the Legacy competes well with better-known mid-size sedans such as the Honda Accord, the Volkswagen Passat, and the Toyota Camry. It's worth a test drive, especially if all-wheel drive is on your wish list.
Ford Fusion
Honda Accord
Toyota Camry
Volkswagen Passat
new for 2013
Subaru's optional EyeSight is the biggest change for the 2013 Legacy. EyeSight is an active camera-based system that scans the area in front of the Legacy to let the car know if there are pedestrians in the path, a collision is imminent, or the car is about to depart its lane. The system can automatically apply the brakes in some situations if the driver does not respond to the initial audio warning.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; traction and stability control; ABS; and tire-pressure monitoring are standard. A rearview camera is optional, as is EyeSight, which includes adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, and precollision braking.

6 Reasons Yoga's Great for GuysBy Denis Faye
All right, gentlemen—how often have you been in this situation? It's Thursday afternoon and you got off work a little early. It's been a stressful week and you could use a good sweat. You try to get a few friends together for some hoops, but no luck, so you pop in a P90X® workout.
Which one do you pick? I'm betting most of you went for Shoulders & Arms or Chest & Back. A couple of you iconoclasts might have slid Plyometrics into the DVD player. But odds are none of you picked Yoga X. And why not? Well, despite the fact that Yoga X features Tony Horton, the most manly of all manly men, and despite the fact that it's a gruelingly difficult 90 minutes, when presented with this ancient practice, most men choose to listen to their inner caveman and come to the same conclusion: Yoga is for girls.
And that's just sad, because the truth is that yoga probably has more to offer the typical brute-force-lovin', emotion-repressin', stretch-avoidin', pain-ignorin' American male than it does to any other human being on the planet. Here's why . . .
Women dig guys who do yoga
If you've seen the Mel Gibson film What Women Want, you know that the first thing Mel does when he gets the power to read women's minds is hit the yoga studio. Yoga has its own language, and if you speak that language fluently, you're in. Next time you're at a party and you overhear three babes talking about their yoga preferences, slide in with, "Normally, I prefer hatha, but sometimes I do a little kundalini, you know, just to take off the edge." You just got yourself three dates. I guarantee it.
Yoga works your stabilizer muscles
Basically, we have two kinds of muscles, big ones that move you around and smaller ones that keep the big ones from moving the wrong way and injuring you. These smaller ones are called stabilizer muscles. They aren't as sexy to look at as your pecs, your abs, or your biceps, but they're just as important. While yoga may not necessarily give you huge guns, it'll strengthen the stabilizer muscles that'll make sure you don't injure yourself while you're doing the heavy lifting to earn yourself those guns.
You can do yoga whenever
Most physical activities call for certain conditions. Basketball requires other players. Surfing requires waves. Skiing requires snow. Lifting requires 48 hours between workouts. Yoga, however, only requires a little free space and some comfortable clothing. That's it. It's the ideal filler exercise when you don't have the personnel, environment, materials, or time you need to do something else.
Yoga promotes body awareness
One of the main things new yoga practitioners, both men and women, complain about is the fact that yoga is booooo-ring. When you first start, this may be true, but if you stick with it, things'll change. With other activities, you're forced to pay attention to what's happening around you. With yoga, the trick is to stop looking for those external stimuli and start looking internally. I'm not talking about the whole hippie spiritual thing; I'm talking about feeling how your body is reacting to the poses. This increased body awareness can translate to a more intuitive ability to improve in other physical pursuits, as well as a heightened awareness of what's happening internally when you incur a sports-related injury. With a little time, you might even be able to work toward lessening the effect of such damage before it even has a chance to happen.
Yoga builds your stamina
If you own the P90X ONE on ONE® yoga DVD Fountain of Youth, you're probably familiar with one particularly painful sequence in which Tony appears to forget he is in chair pose as he gabs away with Mason for what seems like hours. As they chat, you're forced to wince, swear, and do your best to breathe into the pain. I hate Tony at that point, yet I love him in the long run for helping build my stamina. For me, stamina lessons learned with yoga make the paddle out to the lineup so much easier when I'm surfing. It has similar benefits across almost all other sports. "Basketball is an endurance sport, and you have to learn to control your breath," explains legendary player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. "That's the essence of yoga too."
Yoga increases focus
This combination of body awareness and stamina reap a third benefit: increased concentration. This is especially useful for you athletes out there, given that concentration is the ultimate guard against smack talk. Basketballers, golfers, and soccer players alike love to drop the occasional well-placed put-down in the middle of that crucial shot. Try mastering the Warrior III pose, which requires you to extend both hands and one foot while balancing on the other foot flawlessly for 60 seconds. The Zen state you achieve doing that will help ensure that those pithy little playing-field put-downs bounce right off you.
Now that you've learned more about yoga, you may be concerned because the whole it-makes-you-more-manly-and-attractive thing seems like it's being diluted by the whole sensitive-self-aware-lover-boy thing—which may not be quite what you were shooting for when you started up with P90X in the first place. But the truth is, yoga can be as tough, demanding, and punishing as any other physical activity out there. It's a win-win. So unroll that mat and pretzel up. As Tony Horton once said to me, "You coming to yoga with us, dude? You know you need it."

7 Substitutes for Diet-Killing Picnic FoodsBy Joe Wilkes
It's almost summertime, which brings the incongruous collision of picnic season and swimsuit season. The weather's perfect for hiking, camping, barbecuing, and days at the beach—lots of opportunities for outdoor exercise, but just as many opportunities to pig out at pool parties, luaus, outdoor festivals, and county fairs. Here are some foods to try avoiding during the dog days of summer, and some ideas for substitutions for picnic favorites.
- Fried chicken. It's not the K or the C in KFC® that's the problem; it's the F, which stands for fried. And if you have any desire to stay slim this summer, it's time to tell the Colonel you're "kicking the bucket." One extra-crispy KFC breast will run you 510 calories and 33 grams of fat, 7 of them saturated. That's nearly three times the calories of a home-grilled skinless chicken breast, and almost 15 times as much fat—more than nine times the saturated fat alone. So you're clearly better off cooking the chicken yourself. But if you're grabbing something on the run, KFC does have a grilled chicken breast option, or you might want to visit the rotisserie case at your local supermarket—if you go there, try picking a chicken that's not slathered in sugary barbecue sauce. Either way, make sure you remove the skin—that's where you'll find a lot of the fat and calories.
- Sandwiches. A picnic without sandwiches is like a picnic without ants. It just wouldn't be the same. But of course the sandwich is only as good as its ingredients. If you're using white bread, you're just eating empty carbohydrates. Make sure you buy whole-grain bread, and that it has the word "whole" in the ingredient list. Wheat bread is essentially the same as white bread, only with a little molasses added for brown coloring. It's nutritionally the same, if not worse. Whole wheat bread, on the other hand, contains the fiber and the vitamins you're looking for. For lunch meat, try avoiding processed meats like bologna and salami. They're packed with extra fat and sodium. And when buying unprocessed meats like turkey or roast beef, make sure they really are unprocessed. The makers of some brands of turkey grind up the skin and dark meat and then press it into lunch meat form, so you're really getting as much fat and sodium as you'd get from bologna. Watch out for flavored turkey as well. Most of the time the secret ingredient is salt. If you want to be really healthy, buy a whole turkey breast from your market's poultry section and roast it yourself, so you can control the amount of salt you add.
- Brats and burgers. It's always great to fire up the grill and start cooking up a mess of meat. And the good news is that grilling is one of the healthiest ways to cook food. It adds tons of flavor without adding fat. Of course, the best thing to grill would be skinless chicken or fish, or vegetables. But if you're craving a juicy burger or brat and a portobello burger just won't do, there are still some decisions you can make to keep things on the lean side.
For burgers, consider a leaner option than beef, like ground turkey or buffalo. But as always, check the label. Some ground turkey has as much fat as fatty ground beef. Ground turkey breast is usually much leaner than ground turkey that's either dark meat or mixed dark and white meat. If you've decided to go ahead and make beef burgers, try to find some that has the lowest fat content available, less than 5 percent if possible. Ground sirloin is usually pretty close. If you can't find a grind that's low enough in fat, ask your butcher to grind a lean piece of chuck roast or top sirloin for you. In addition to being leaner, this will also reduce your chances of picking up food-borne illnesses like E. coli, since only one cow is involved in producing a steak, as opposed to potentially hundreds in ground beef. In fact, if you're someone who likes to eat your burger rare, having the butcher grind a piece of meat for you is a must.
Bratwurst is another delicious summer fave, but watch the fat and sodium content in these as well. The chicken, turkey, and even veggie versions of sausage sound like they'd be lighter, but they're often just as fatty as the pork versions.
- Potato or macaroni salad. The culprit in these two picnic staples? Mayonnaise. At 5 grams of fat and more than 50 calories per tablespoon, mayonnaise is the element of these side dishes that'll sidetrack your diet. But you can mitigate the damage somewhat by replacing the mayonnaise with nonfat yogurt, or you could try whirling some nonfat cottage cheese or nonfat ricotta cheese in a food processor to give it a creamier texture. You'll get fewer calories and less fat—plus by going eggless, you'll lessen your risk of salmonella. Another way to make potato salad healthier is to leave the skin on, as it contains the spud's fiber and most of its vitamins. For macaroni salad, you can boost fiber by using whole-grain pasta. Make either salad tastier and better for you with heart-healthy olive oil, vinegar, and lots of veggies.
- Baked beans. Beans, beans, the musical fruit . . . well, you know the rest. Full of fiber and low in fat, beans are a great side dish that'll help you feel full. What you want to watch out for is the sugar that's added to most baked beans—sometimes a tablespoon or more in a cup. Try plain pinto beans, or my favorite, beans canned with jalapeños. Replace high-calorie sweet with low-calorie fire and you won't even miss the sugar. Three-bean salad is another flavorful way to consume your legumes without a lot of added fat or sugar.
- Trail mix. Summer's a great time for checking out nature, and it's always great to bring along a healthy snack like trail mix. But check the ingredients. Some trail mixes, especially those that contain granola, can be loaded with fat and super-unhealthy hydrogenated oils. There are trail mixes on the market that have more fat than a large order of fast-food fries, so it's definitely a "buyer beware" situation. Also check out how much sugar is in the trail mix or granola bars you take backpacking. Some bars aren't much healthier than a Snickers®. If the ingredients in your trail mix include chocolate chips and marshmallows, you may not have made the healthiest choice. Try making your own trail mix with healthy unsweetened oats, nuts, and dried fruit. Or take along a couple of P90X® Peak Performance Protein Bars.
- Ice cream. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. And we'll really be screaming when we try to stuff ourselves into our swimsuits after eating everyone's favorite fatty, frosty indulgence. It's hard to resist a cool ice cream cone on a hot summer day, and the tinkling of the ice cream truck bell can still make me want to bolt into the street. But depending on scoop size (which can average from 1/2 cup to a full cup or more), that scoop of vanilla can have upwards of 400 calories and as much as 25 grams of fat, up to 15 of them saturated. If you're culinarily gifted, you might consider making your own sorbet. If not, check out some of the ones available on the market. Sorbets are usually low fat or nonfat, although they can still have tons of sugar. Try to find some that are mostly fruit. Speaking of fruit, for a healthy frozen treat, how about sticking some fruit in the freezer? Most fruits, especially berries, grapes, and bananas, freeze quite well. They'll last longer and popping a few frozen grapes in your mouth can cool you off on a hot day and you'll still get all the vitamins, fiber, and health benefits that a Creamsicle® just can't provide.

Recipe: Apple Fruit Salad
Now that warmer weather's on its way, here's a lovely, light, refreshing fruit salad for you to enjoy. The name spells it all out: The emphasis here is on the apples, which give this salad both crunch and flavor. Choose your favorite crisp variety and leave the peels on for added color and fiber!
