What is gas?
Gas is air in the digestive tract. Gas leaves the body when people burp through the mouth or pass gas through the anus*—the opening at the end of the digestive tract where stool leaves the body.
Everyone has gas. Burping and passing gas are normal. Many people believe that they burp or pass gas too often and that they have too much gas. Having too much gas is rare.
What causes gas?
Gas in the digestive tract is usually caused by swallowing air and the breakdown of certain foods in the large intestine.
You typically swallow a small amount of air when you eat and drink. You swallow more air when you
- eat or drink too fast
- smoke
- chew gum
- suck on hard candy
- drink carbonated or "fizzy" drinks
- wear loose-fitting dentures
Some of the air you swallow leaves the stomach through the mouth when you burp. Some swallowed air is absorbed in the small intestine. Some air moves through the small intestine to the large intestine and is passed through the anus.
The stomach and small intestine do not fully digest all of the food you eat. Undigested carbohydrates—sugars, starches, and fiber found in many foods—pass through to the large intestine. Bacteria in the large intestine break down undigested carbohydrates and release gas. This gas is passed through the anus.
Normally, few bacteria live in the small intestine. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is an increase in the number of bacteria or a change in the type of bacteria in the small intestine. These bacteria can produce excess gas and may also cause diarrhea and weight loss. SIBO is usually related to diseases or disorders that damage the digestive system or affect how it works, such as Crohn's disease or diabetes.
Which foods cause gas?
Most foods that contain carbohydrates can cause gas. Foods that cause gas for one person may not cause gas for someone else. Some foods that contain carbohydrates and may cause gas are
- beans
- vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, onions, mushrooms, artichokes, and asparagus
- fruits such as pears, apples, and peaches
- whole grains such as whole wheat and bran
- sodas; fruit drinks, especially apple juice and pear juice; and other drinks that contain high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener made from corn
- milk and milk products such as cheese, ice cream, and yogurt
- packaged foods—such as bread, cereal, and salad dressing—that contain small amounts of lactose, the sugar found in milk and foods made with milk
- sugar-free candies and gums that contain sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol
What are the symptoms of gas?
The most common symptoms of gas are:
- Burping. Burping once in awhile, especially during and after meals, is normal. If you burp very often, you may be swallowing too much air. Some people with digestive problems swallow air on purpose and burp because they believe it will help them feel better.
- Passing gas. Passing gas around 13 to 21 times a day is normal. If you think you pass gas more often than that, you may have trouble digesting certain carbohydrates.
- Bloating. Bloating is a feeling of fullness and swelling in the abdomen, the area between the chest and hips. Disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can affect how gas moves through the intestines. If gas moves through your intestines too slowly, you may feel bloated.
- Abdominal pain or discomfort. People may feel abdominal pain or discomfort when gas does not move through the intestines normally. People with IBS may be more sensitive to gas in the intestines.
How is the cause of gas found?
You can try to find the cause of gas by keeping a diary of what you eat and drink and how often you burp, pass gas, or have other symptoms. The diary may help you identify the foods that cause you to have gas.
Talk with your health care provider if
- gas symptoms often bother you
- your symptoms change suddenly
- you have new symptoms, especially if you are older than age 40
- you have other symptoms—such as constipation, diarrhea, or weight loss—along with gas
Your health care provider will ask about your diet and symptoms. Your health care provider may review your diary to see if specific foods are causing gas.
If milk or milk products are causing gas, your health care provider may perform blood or breath tests to check for lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance means you have trouble digesting lactose. Your health care provider may ask you to avoid milk and milk products for a short time to see if your gas symptoms improve.
Your health care provider may test for other digestive problems, depending on your symptoms.
How is gas treated?
You can try to treat gas on your own, before seeing your health care provider, if you think you have too much.
Swallowing less air and changing what you eat can help prevent or reduce gas. Try the following tips:
- Eat more slowly.
- If you smoke, quit or cut down.
- If you wear dentures, see your dentist and make sure your dentures fit correctly.
- Don't chew gum or suck on hard candies.
- Avoid carbonated drinks, such as soda and beer.
- Drink less fruit juice, especially apple juice and pear juice.
- Avoid or eat less of the foods that cause you to have gas.
Some over-the-counter medicines can help reduce gas:
- Taking alpha-galactosidase (Beano) when you eat beans, vegetables, and whole grains can reduce gas.
- Simethicone (Gas-X, Mylanta Gas) can relieve bloating and abdominal pain or discomfort caused by gas.
- If you are lactose intolerant, lactase tablets or liquid drops can help you digest milk and milk products. You can also find lactose-free and lactose-reduced milk and milk products at the grocery store.
Your health care provider may prescribe medicine to help relieve gas, especially if you have SIBO or IBS.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Your eating habits and diet affect the amount of gas you have. For example, eating and drinking too fast can cause you to swallow more air. And you may have more gas after you eat certain carbohydrates.
Track what you eat and your gas symptoms to find out what foods cause you to have more gas. Avoid or eat less of the foods that cause your gas symptoms.
Points to Remember

Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases' (NIDDK's) Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition supports research into digestive conditions, including gas. Researchers are studying new treatments for gas and for IBS, a disorder in which people may have gas along with other symptoms.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

What's all the buzz about? Cloud computing is one of Gartner's top 10 strategic technology trends for 2009 – #2, right behind virtualization. Analysts say the economics of cloud for customers are truly compelling, with expected savings for business applications of 3-5x. That's not chump change – particularly in today's recessionary economy.
But the most compelling benefits of the cloud aren't just cost-savings. They're the increased flexibility, elasticity and scalability available to optimize efficiency and best serve the needs of the business.
What is Cloud Computing
Whether you're an enterprise or small to medium business, you'll soon be benefiting from the cloud. But what is cloud computing exactly?
Cloud computing is essentially the ability to acquire or deliver a resource on demand, configured however the users chooses, and paid for according to consumption. From a supplier's perspective, including both internal IT groups and service providers, it means being able to deliver and manage resource pools and applications in a multi-tenancy environment, to deliver the user an on-demand, pay-per-use service. A cloud service can be infrastructure for hosting applications or data storage, a development platform, or even an application that you can get on-demand, either off-site at a provider, such as SunGard or Salesforce, or built onsite within IT.
It's important to note that while many view cloud computing as services consumed externally, innovative CIOs have taken the steps to transform their IT groups into internal service providers. This strategic shift gives them control and accountability for usage and resources, while providing a dynamic, self service model to accommodate the needs and SLAs required by the business units. To see how one enterprise did this, you can view their video story online at: www.vmware.com/cloud.
For those of us who remember the good old dot com days, before the bust, we saw the concept of hosted services emerge. Everyone jumped on the ASP, ISP, MSP (application service provider, internet service provider, managed service provider, respectively) bandwagons and built offerings to deliver online services or variants thereof, such as on-demand software and software-as-a-service (SaaS).
Remembering back to the xSP days, however, we must also remember that there were issues with the services hosting model. One issue was that few were comfortable with the concept of having their information hosted outside of their immediate control, as well as the fear of being locked into a relationship with particular vendors.
So, as the new concept of the cloud emerges, many are asking how it's different this time around and what should we expect? Unlike those previous hosting models, we see well-established companies diversifying their business models to offer new services, based on established core competencies. This fundamental difference will help shape and stabilize the new concept of the cloud.
VMware CTO Steve Herrod keynoting SYS-CON's 3rd Virtualization Conference & Expo in New York. Read an Exclusive Q&A wth Herrod here.
But even more importantly, we have seen new technologies evolve over the past decade that are essential to the notion of the cloud. The key technology is virtualization. In addition to some amazing cost savings and goodness for the environment, virtualization's ability to separate the OS and application from the hardware give it ideal properties to best deliver these on-demand cloud services. Charles King, Principal Analyst at Pund-IT put it succinctly: "Without virtualization there is no cloud- that's what enabled the emergence of this new, sustainable industry."
Challenges of the cloud
Today, new and established vendors are vying to deliver cloud services. The challenge for users becomes choosing the right offering. Many of the offerings are really designed to encourage development on the vendor's proprietary platform, limiting switching abilities and propagating the offering through applications built for the external cloud only. This is appealing to the development community as it enables quick access to infrastructure and development platforms on which to create a cloud application. But this can become a nightmare for IT when the application has to come back into the enterprise for production-level support, as well as dealing with SOX and IP risks. The viability of this solution is potentially the unearthing of a more significant problem, the inability of IT to deliver infrastructure on demand to meet the dynamic needs of these groups. However in many cases, unless you're building an application from scratch, most businesses don't have the time or resources to rewrite their production applications to work in the cloud on a proprietary platform.
Users should choose a cloud strategy that enables the fastest development time for new applications, with the broadest support for various OSs and development environments, as well as the ability to support production-level applications on- and off-premise as needed.
The other challenge is mobility and choice in location for running applications, internally in a private cloud or externally in a public cloud. Another approach we see in the market is the "superstore phenomenon." Organizations such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google all plan to battle it out over whose superstore datacenter will be the place your developers will build and house their cloud applications. It is true that these are all stable brands and their infrastructure will likely be a safe place to run your applications; however, in the event of outages, downtime and the inability to access your applications, what options will you have? Additionally, how will you manage these instances, where they live long term and what risks will be imposed by keeping them off site? Users should be able to move their applications at will from one cloud to another, whether internally or externally.
Obviously, the encapsulation offered in virtualization and the mobility found in technology like VMware VMotion - which enables a live virtual machine to be moved with no downtime for the application - increase a user's ability to move virtual machines as needed. VMware's approach to the cloud is not about vendor lock-in , but is about enabling its ecosystem of partners to build and deliver services on a common platform, allowing users to simplify the federation of clouds, on or off premise as needed, to a broad base of service providers.
Lastly, you'll want to look at innovation and stability in providing the technology to leverage your virtualization investments into internal or external cloud options. If your production environments are running on VMware and you chose that platform due to the robust innovation cycles, reliability and technology advancements offered today, you want nothing less in a cloud services provider off-premise. Say you want to establish a relationship with a service provider to offer some flex capacity at the end of the quarter for financial reporting activities. You'll still want the reliability of your production system, control of that environment and the ability to move your VMs when and where you want. Also, as you build your internal clouds, look for vendors that are building for the future and whatever new technologies and application infrastructures might come along, visionary vendors that are future-proofed for new trends and have proven that they can deliver technology innovation in a timely manner.
Why does virtualization matter when building or selecting cloud services/vendors?
Clearly, there's a new trend emerging with lots of options, but also many challenges that could cost big money to reverse. How does virtualization address these challenges and allow a seamless transition to a cloud strategy, either on- or off-premise?
As mentioned above the key requirements you should demand from your cloud providers are: broad application support without lock-in, ease in mobility of environments, broad choice of locations (internal or external), and innovation that drives simplified federation of on- and off-premise clouds. Additionally, as an enterprise you'll want to look for innovation in building the internal (private) cloud to evolve your ability to offer dynamic services.
As noted, virtualization is the key. Most companies' first step on the virtualization path is to consolidate their servers, using virtualization to run multiple applications on each server instead of just one, increasing the utilization rate of (and getting more value from) every server and, thus, dramatically reducing the number of servers they need to buy, rack, power, cool, and manage.
Having consolidated servers, you realize that not only have you substantially cut the capital and operating costs of your server environments, but as a result the entire datacenter has become far more flexible. Along the way, you may have started to think about and to use IT resources - including servers, storage, networks, desktops, and applications - not as isolated silos that must be managed individually but as pools of resources that can be managed in the aggregate.
This means that you can now move resources around at will across the network, from server to server, datacenter to datacenter, and even out into the cloud, to balance loads and use compute capacity more efficiently across the entire global IT environment.
In other words, users are able to look at the compute power as a centralized resource that they can now allocate to business units on demand, while still maintaining control and operational excellence. Leveraging virtualization to better serve users gives your organization the obvious lower TCO, but also allows for accountability of usage, simplifies and meets the needs of on-demand infrastructure requests, and allows for your ability to serve, control and manage SLAs.
Hence, virtualization has played and will continue to play a huge role in cloud computing. It is the technology that has allowed service providers to deliver lower-cost hosting environments to businesses of all sizes today. Just as virtualization enabled you to consolidate your servers and do more with less hardware, it also lets you support more users per piece of hardware, and deliver applications - and the servers on which they run - faster to those users.
As the leader in virtualization, VMware recently launched its vCloud initiative. With its proven, reliable platform deployed in over 120,000 customer environments today, VMware is committed to working with enterprises who want to build internal clouds with the ability to federate to external providers to meet the changing needs of thier business. VMware's virtual datacenter operating system, enables internal clouds with features such as self-service provisioning, chargeback, and many other advanced automation and management features.
In addition, VMware is leveraging its huge ecosystem to bring new cloud offerings, such as security for clouds, to market. The virtualization market leader's approach leverages the infrastructure and expertise of hundreds of partners worldwide, including brand names such as Verizon, Hosting.com, SunGard, Terremark and Savvis to deliver the VMware platform and cloud services. This, in combination with the technology for internal clouds, lets enterprises run their applications where they want, when they want.
With the largest choice of location and interoperability of platforms, the broadest application and OS support, and leading virtualization and cloud technologies, VMware and its cloud strategy offer users a safe, reliable, and robust on-ramp to the cloud, whether on or off premise.
So, if you're a VMware user, you're in good hands and you've already taken steps toward the cloud simply by virtualizing your servers on a proven platform that offers rich management and automation features. You will see VMware continue to lead the market in delivering cloud innovation for both on- and off-premise clouds.
If you're not a VMware user but want reliable infrastructure on demand, many service providers offer VMware Infrastructure 3 with pay-per-use models. For more information about VMware vCloud or to find a partner that can help you realize the benefits of the cloud, visit: www.vmware.com/vcloud.

Bruce Arena told reporters earlier this week that the LA Galaxy are nearing a deal with a foreign wide player and according to reports out of Sweden, the Galaxy are closing in on the signature of 31-year-old Swedish winger Stefan Ishizaki.
According to Fotbollskanalen.se's Olof Lundh (who some of you might remember as the man who broke the story of Christian Wilhelmsson's move to the Galaxy back in 2012), LA is nearing a deal with the wide midfielder who is currently with IF Elfsborg in the Swedish first division (Allsvenskan). A right midfielder, Ishizaki tallied two goals in 27 appearances for Elfsborg during the 2013 season, making a total of 25 starts.

Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng. (David Harrison, M&G)
Mogoeng issued the order on Monday to speaker Max Sisulu and Mathole Motshekga, the ANC's chief whip, Beeld reported on Tuesday.
This follows Democratic Alliance parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko's "extremely urgent appeal request", which was submitted to Mogoeng, concerning the no-confidence debate.
Judge Dennis Davis ruled in the Cape High Court last week that it was any MP's right to request a no confidence debate, and that such requests were "by their very nature" urgent.
But, because the rules of the National Assembly did not make provision for no confidence debates, Davis could not tell Sisulu when and where the debate should be heard.
Motshekga said, amongst other things last week, that the debate was "trivial" and that Parliament had more important things to do.
In a statement handed to Mogoeng on Monday, Mazibuko said that Motshekga's attitude was unconstitutional.
"A debate about a vote of no confidence has to be accorded priority over any other parliamentary work – this is international standard practice."
She asked the Constitutional Court to order Sisulu to schedule the debate to be heard no later than December 7, saying she regarded the matter as extremely urgent, because eight opposition parties representing approximately 33% of the country's voters supported the vote of no confidence. – Sapa

We're eight weeks into the 2013 NFL season, and we've had some time to think about things (especially Jim Corbett, who took the Falcons to win Super Bowl XLVIII back in August ... he'll explain himself later).
For the most part, we're sticking with our preseason Super Bowl picks. We've made some adjustments to our playoff prognostications and, frankly, most of USA TODAY's experts foresee things playing out in a similar manner. (Note: our choices were submitted prior to the Cincinnati Bengals' costly loss Thursday night.)
But you'll find a lot of adjustments to our individual awards, with most of us picking Peyton Manning to win his fifth MVP award and quite a revision to our rookie forecasts.
Without further ado, our midseason predictions and hardware (and read to the bottom as we share some thoughts):
Jarrett Bell
How could I count out Andy Reid? And Aaron Rodgers? Silly me. This is what happens when whiffing on expectations for the Falcons and Texans. Here's the do-over: The Bengals take the AFC North crown, while the Ravens put up a fight and get into the playoffs as a wild card along with ... the Chiefs, led by Reid, my revised pick for coach of the year. I'll stick with the Broncos winning the AFC West and the Super Bowl. And my NFC Super pick, the 49ers, still stands with a qualifier: If the Saints or Seahawks get home-field advantage for the NFC title game, it will be their ticket to the Meadowlands.
Other revisions: Geno Smith and Kiko Alonso as offensive and defensive rookies of the year, with Tyrann Mathieu, Eddie Lacy, Sheldon Richardson and Barkevious Mingo all in the mix. Darrelle Revis' comeback is overshadowed by the mess on the Buccaneers, but for a player not coming off an injury, Philip Rivers is a legit comeback player of the year. Meanwhile, Peyton Manning seemed destined a couple of weeks ago to be the MVP and offensive player of the year but now has competition from Rodgers, Drew Brees and, yes, Russell Wilson.
Jim Corbett
I'd love a mulligan on my Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl MVP. Should have gone with Peyton Manning and the high-flying Broncos. But back in the summer I debated between the Seahawks and Falcons as to who would emerge as the NFC champion and likely Super Bowl champ.
I should have taken the Seahawks based on that defense and the poise of Russell Wilson — I never saw that early season injury steamroller that flattened the Falcons, wiping them out at wide receiver and running back. At their core, the Falcons are a pass-first team that seemed to add that missing piece in versatile running back Steven Jackson. But Jackson, Julio Jones and Roddy White got whacked by injuries, and the Falcons have been in survival mode ever since.
Wish I had a do-over on those offensive and defensive rookie of the year picks — should have gone with Jets quarterback Geno Smith and Bills linebacker Kik0 Alonso.
Nate Davis
Anytime your preseason Super Bowl prediction holds up — Seahawks over Broncos in my case — you'll take it (right, Jim Corbett?). Looks like I was the only guy to nail Andy Reid as coach of the year, and Calvin Johnson just put new starch into my preseason offensive player of the year vote (but I'm still switching it). Aaron Rodgers will struggle to overtake Peyton Manning for MVP honors — you nailed that one, Jim — but I really blew my rookie of the year forecasts (Montee Ball and Jon Bostic). The Bills' Kiko Alonso looks like the runaway choice as top defensive rookie, though the offensive race remains wide open — I'll cast my lot with Eddie Lacy at this point.
Lindsay H. Jones
Consider this my lesson learned: 2012 doesn't mean squat when it comes to this year, at least when it comes to predicting division winners. I openly admit I gave the Ravens, Texans and Falcons too much credit for what they did last year and didn't account enough for the Bengals' and Colts' progress or Sean Payton's return in the Saints. And I certainly erred in thinking the NFC East could wind up with two playoff teams. Now it doesn't even look like the division deserves the one it will get. I also did not predict the type of numbers Peyton Manning would put up in the regular season. If I did, there is no way I wouldn't have listed him as either MVP or offensive player, though I think all three of those players would rather have a Super Bowl MVP trophy than any sort of regular-season honor.
Pete O'Brien
I got suckered into thinking Josh Freeman would raise his game entering his contract year and second season in Mike Sullivan's offense and that the Buccaneers would have a healthy Carl Nicks and a stifling defense. Oops. But hey, how about those Chiefs? And I still like my pick of Rams linebacker Alec Olgetree, who looks like he'll be a star for years, as defensive rookie of the year. On the offensive side, I had the wrong second-round running back. Montee Ball wasn't quite as pro-ready as first thought, while Eddie Lacy has given the Packers their biggest rushing threat in years.
While I'm tentatively buying into the Panthers' emergence, the schedule sets up too well for the Lions to be knocked out of the second wild-card slot in the NFC. But when it is all said and done, Peyton Manning will show Jim Irsay that he is indeed interested in winning a second ring. The Broncos will blow out the Colts in the AFC championship and, in slight twist, I now think Denver will squeak by the 49ers for the crown.
Tom Pelissero
I'm feeling pretty, pretty good about my Super Bowl and MVP picks (Peyton Manning for league MVP, Russell Wilson as Super Bowl MVP). But it looks like I'm going to miss on a few playoff spots. I thought the Texans would fall off — just not this hard. Same thing with the Falcons, and I should have found a spot in the playoffs for the Saints.
My big whiff appears to be the Rams, who have taken a step back and lost Sam Bradford. I'll take the Dolphins and Lions for the last two wild-card spots instead. Among the individual award winners, Cameron Wake hasn't been the factor I expected for the Dolphins defense so far, and comeback player of the year Brian Cushing obviously isn't happening. I'll replace them with Colts pass rusher Robert Mathis (league-leading 11½ sacks) and Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs. Also, Packers running back Eddie Lacy gets the slight edge (over previous pick Giovani Bernard) and Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso gets the nod (not Desmond Trufant) for offensive and defensive rookie of the year honors.

At times, Fast & Furious 6 is a little unwieldy, saddled with a lot of added baggage, but it's still an extremely entertaining ride.
Fast & Furious 6 picks up after the successful Rio heist in Fast Five, with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew having given up their lives of crime, spending their hard-earned (read: stolen) money jet setting, wooing supermodels - or in the case of Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), adjusting to fatherhood. All seems well until Diplomatic Security Service Agent, Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), tracks Toretto down, requesting the team's assistance in stopping an international terrorist - in exchange for full U.S. pardons.
Toretto agrees to help and the rest of his crew assemble in London, where they come face-to-face (or car-to-car) with infamous Ex-Special Forces soldier-turned-robber Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), along with his team of cold-blooded killers and expert gear-heads. With only days to stop Shaw from acquiring a dangerous piece of technology, Toretto and his team find themselves out-manned, out-gunned, and forced into taking desperate measures in order to stop the terrorist before he can sell his weapon to the highest bidder.
Director Justin Lin returns to helm Fast & Furious 6. The filmmaker joined the series back in 2006 with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and was instrumental in reinvigorating the franchise - ditching the niche car culture drama (dripping with machismo and scantily clad women) in favor of bombastic vehicle stunts. Fast Five was the most successful film in the series - delivering eye-popping driving sequences along with entertaining character moments - does the director up-the-ante with Fast & Furious 6?
Lin's latest entry successfully pushes the film series to bigger and more outrageous heights, sometimes at the expense of believability and compelling character drama. However, there's little doubt that franchise fans (along with anyone who enjoyed Fast Five) will be disappointed by Fast & Furious 6. There are a few eye-rolling moments and, as in prior entries, a very heavy-handed message about "family" (along with some awkward legacy story beats) but scene-to-scene the film offers a no-holds-barred flurry of memorable action and tongue-in-cheek character moments that will definitely entertain moviegoers - even if the plot doesn't hold up under close scrutiny.
The car stunts are bigger (and crazier) than ever before - easily outdoing the scale of the Rio "Vault" scene from the prior film. Moviegoers who had trouble suspending disbelief in Fast Five will face a similar challenge with Fast & Furious 6, but for anyone on-board with the series' premise, every outrageous sequence is punctuated with plenty of slick visuals and fun one-liners. The film's climax suffers a bit from overly-frantic green screen shots, making it hard to fully-appreciate individual altercations - which are sometimes lost in a blur of fast-moving scenery, punches, and gunplay. However, much like the rest of the film, the sum is often better than its individuals parts, and despite a few disorienting elements in the finale, the full sequence is still immensely exciting - and ranks among the series' most iconic moments.
This round, Dominic Toretto takes center stage (again) - in a personal story that sheds light on his past and the present challenge posed by Owen Shaw. Still, this is a Fast and Furious film, so any attempts at character development are delivered through on-the-nose dialogue about family, sacrifice, and faith. Similarly, the movie works extremely hard to balance franchise legacy elements with recent additions from Fast Five and, as a result, the core Toretto arc is punctuated with clumsy storytelling that can be awkward at times (but not outright distracting). It's all forgivable, but given the amount of time dedicated to the character's personal journey, emotional beats never quite deliver on their promises of compelling drama.
Walker's Brian O'Conner is marginalized this time, given a downright bizarre side-story that could have easily been left out of the film entirely (by adding one or two lines of exposition). The character remains a key member of the crew (and a counterpoint for Toretto), but with the addition of more interesting side-characters like Luke Hobbs (Johnson), O'Conner's contributions this round are some of the least memorable (or sensical). The dynamic between Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej Parker (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) help off-set the emotionally charged Toretto plot with fun banter as well as misadventures - and, as mentioned, Hobbs (along with partner Riley, played by Gina Carano) add plenty of bone-crushing fisticuffs to the mix.
Shaw, aided by a strong (but ice-cold) performance from Luke Evans, serves as a good foil for Toretto and his gang - showing how differences in the team leaders result in their respective successes and failures. Toretto's reliance on his family is his greatest vulnerability - whereas Shaw views his team members as nothing more than engine parts (each with their own expiration date). While the analogies get a bit heavy-handed by the end, the dynamic is interesting and serves as a fun opportunity to see Toretto and the team face a colder and more calculated set of doppelgangers.
That said, the Fast & Furious 6 story is full of plot holes and underdeveloped moments of emotional impact. The majority of them will speed by on an initial viewing, but once all of the twists have been revealed and moviegoers are left standing in the aftermath, it's a noticeably paper-thin plot. Worse yet, the film never takes the necessary time to make sense of several key character moments - sacrificing development, explanations, and/or emotional catharsis for the sake of keeping the film's pacing up. As stated, there's never really time to consider these shortcomings in the moment, but for a story that focuses so much on the importance of "family," the movie ultimately underserves a few featured members who are, apparently, less important than the high-octane thrills.
Of course, impactful drama has never been the primary goal of the Fast & Furious series - and for that reason, it's hard to imagine that returning viewers will be underwhelmed by the offerings in Fast & Furious 6. Lin has created a bigger (albeit not necessarily better) film that will please moviegoers looking for nitro-infused car stunts, amusing characters, and enormous action sequences. At times, Fast & Furious 6 is a little unwieldy, saddled with a lot of added baggage, but it's still an extremely entertaining ride.

The Google Maps of the Week
Over the years the fashion retailer Uniqlo has created a number of unique maps. Their latest effort, Uniqlo Undercover, is possibly the best store locator map I've ever seen. In fact to call it just a store locator map is an insult really.
Using custom map tiles Uniqlo has in effect created a whole website just with the Google Maps API. My advice is to explore the map yourself. Use the menu at the top right of the map to navigate to the different sections and make sure you zoom in on the map to see each section in detail.
This Canberra Crime Statistics Map from the Australian Federal Police is a very nice looking map with some great design features.
The numbered place-name markers are attractive and dynamic (the numbers change depending on the crime or date selected). If you zoom in on the map the shaded polygon areas are also dynamic. If you mouse-over an area it grows by a fraction to help highlight the selected neighborhood.
There are a lot more great design features on this map, for example, just look at that great map sidebar.
Shoes About Town is another inspired promotional campaign, this time from New York shoe salon Bergdorf Goodman.
This promotional campaign encourages people to take an Instagram photo and then post it on Twitter with the hashtag #BGSHOES. The photos of the shoes then appear on a great looking custom map, created using the Google Maps API.

The CMS Stags and Athenas capped an undefeated SCIAC dual meet season by setting 11 pool records at Pomona-Pitzer's Haldemann Pool on Saturday. The Stags won the meet 211-86 with the Athenas topping the Sagehens 197-103.
"Today's meet ranks among the fastest dual meets in SCIAC history," said CMS Head Coach Charlie Griffiths. "Give credit to both squads for creating an electric environment and responding with impressive performances."
The meet opened with the 1-meter and 3-meter diving competitions. CMS swept 1-2-3 on three of the boards, with a 1-2 finish in the women's 1-meter event. James Stevick scored NCAA qualifying marks on both boards, tallying 311.95 on 3-meter and 322.05 on 1-meter. For the Athenas, Carli Lessard won the 1-meter competition, with Mary Lynn Clark earning her first collegiate victory, topping the 3-meter field.
The Stag and Athena 200 medley relays started the swimming portion of the meet with wins. Matt Williams, Zach Alleva, Patrick Shultz and Joey Hinton set a pool record with a 1:33.70 for the Stags, while the Athena "senior" relay of Erin MacLean, Michele Kee, Annika Jessen and Helen Liu overcame an early deficit to win in 1:48.75.
Three CMS swimmers finished under pool record time in the 1000 yard freestyle. Alex Mendoza set a new men's mark at 9:54.94. Louisa Dunwiddie and Molly Loftus both touched under the previous women's record. Loftus was the winner in 10:37.69. Cameron Whiting led a CMS 1-2 finish in the men's 200 free, setting a pool record with a time of 1:43.28.
Matt Williams established a CMS varsity record in the 100 yard backstroke, beating his own mark from earlier this season. Williams's 49.54 is well under the NCAA B-cut standard and a mere .10 off of the SCIAC record, in addition to being a new pool record. Fellow frosh, Kelly Ngo set a pool record of her own, clocking in at 59.01 in the women's 100 back.
Additional pool records were set by Marc Blumberg in the 200 butterfly (1:54.42), Michele Kee in the 100 freestyle (52.54), Williams in the 200 backstroke (1:52.50), Emily McKinnon in the 200 breaststroke (2:26.48) and Annika Jessen in the 100 fly (57.91).
Double winners abounded for CMS. Jessen also won the 200 butterfly and Ngo won the 200 back. Loftus and Mendoza each completed the distance double by winning their 500 freestyle races on top of their wins in the 1000. Michele Kee added a gold in the 200 IM and Alex Poltash won the 50 and 100 yard freestyle sprints.
CMS also tallied victories by Kayla Flaten (100 breast), Helen Liu (50 free), Joey Hinton (100 free) and Conrad Shabb (200 IM). All told, CMS won 26 of the day's 32 events. "Based on our practice performances, I thought we set ourselves up for quality swims today...and the team came through" Coach Griffiths said.
"Still, today was just a stepping stone. Our goal is to peak during the championship season...at SCIACs and NCAAs," Griffiths continued. "The Stags and Athenas have trained well throughout the season, so the swimmers have earned their taper. I'm excited to see our unified enthusiasm for every upcoming swim and dive at SCIACs."
The Stags and Athenas have next weekend off, as they prepare for the SCIAC Championships, slated to be held at the Brenda Villa Aquatic Center in Commerce, Thursday-Sunday, February 20-23. The Athenas and Stags will enter the meet with 8-0 SCIAC dual meet records and have the opportunity to earn the overall SCIAC title by winning the four-day championship meet.

Answering a "no strings attached" online ad found a man the victim of theft, according to police.
Police have charged a Pennsylvania woman with stealing the wallet of a man who answered her Craigslist personal ad for a "no strings attached" sexual encounter.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 28-year-old Tricia O'Neal, of Beaver Falls, who faces a preliminary hearing Sept. 16 on theft charges stemming from the incident Thursday.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The Beaver County Times reports that's when the alleged victim answered the ad and drove to an address the woman provided.
The man told police he left his wallet, phone and keys on a downstairs table while they went upstairs to have sex. Before that happened, the woman offered the man a drink, went downstairs and left with his wallet, containing $100 and a debit card.
Police say the man later identified O'Neal from a photo lineup.
O'Neal has a criminal history including pleading guilty to harassment in 2010, according to court records.

Description for Celosia Cockscomb (Dark Pink)
Cockscomb is an annual herb and is very common as a garden plant. The tightly clustered blooms are said to resemble a rooster s comb, thus the common name "cockscomb". Flower colors include red, yellow, orange, gold, and pink. The celosias or cockscombs are erect, branching plants with oval or lance-shaped, brightly colored flowerheads which usually stand above the foliage.
The Cristata cultivars are good in containers, and prized for Japanese flower arrangements. have unusual flowers that can bloom up to 10 weeks. These flowers can have red, pink, purple, gold or bicolored blooms. When many celosia flower blooms are next to each other, they collectively resemble fire, which is why the name Celosia, meaning burning in Greek, was chosen.
The common name of cockscomb comes from the blooms resemblance to a roosters comb. Not all celosia flowers look this way , there are many shapes, colors and sizes (from 6 inches to 2 feet). And each blossom is made up of many tiny flowers, which is why this flower will produce numerous small seeds and keep sprouting in your plant containers with no extra effort on your part. Celosia flowers also look great in vases and bouquets, so you can bring their beauty indoors.
Planting and care
The plant perform best in big size containers (8inh or more) or plant them on ground
Caring for Celosia Cockscomb
- They are all easy to care for as long as their soil and sunlight requirements are met.Poorly draining planting sites can cause them to develop root rot. To test how quickly the soil drains, remove the top and bottom from a large coffee can, dig a 4-inch-deep hole in the soil, the same circumference as the can, and insert the can into the hole. Fill the can with water and check the water level after one hour. If the water level drops between 2 and 5 inches, the drainage is good. When the water level drops less than 2 inches, the drainage is poor.
Perlite can be added along with soil amendments to improve the soil s drainage or you can plant celiosa in containers or raised beds.Celosia can be planted in the garden in the spring when temperatures will remain above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. They will be damaged if the temperature drops lower than that.
Typical uses of Celosia Cockscomb
Special features: In south India, cockscombs are used extensively for the Onam "Pookkalam".
Culinary use: Some Celosia species are used for food
Ornamental use: In south India, cockscombs are used extensively for the Onam "Pookkalam".
Medicinal use: It is used as a treatment for intestinal worms (particularly tapeworm), blood diseases, mouth sores, eye problems. The seeds treat chest complaints and the flowers treat diarrhea. The leaves are used as dressings for boils and sores, and the boiled vegetables are said to be slightly diuretic.

I just finished this commission of Polperro in Cornwall for a lovely couple.
Polperro is one of the strangest, most delightful places I have ever been to in Cornwall. It had an almost magical feel to it, I can't describe it. Its made up of higgledy piggledy houses which of course I love but it seems such a creative little hub. It seems like the locals really really care about their village. There are no big corporate companies there so far, and that the way they like it.
This photo made me smile, lovely hubby was taking photos of our new placemats to go on the website but if you look closer you can see his funny little feet in the picture. I say funny little feet because I always tell him his toes are so straight you could use them instead of a spirit level.
Then someone recently told him he had the most perfect feet they had ever seen. DOH!!!! Oh, he LOVED that!!!
If you happen to be in Brighton, I have some originals and prints in the Yellow house Art open house as part of the Brighton festival. Over 243 venues are showing the work of over 1000 artists, amazing. Just wish I could go down to see some great art and craft.
Hoping for good weather this bank holiday weekend. Have a great one.....x
