Jenkins won't sing at own wedding
Katherine Jenkins has said she has no plans to sing at her own wedding because she wants to have the day off.
The classical singer admitted she was looking forward to some time away from the day job when she got married, in an interview with Good Morning Britain.
Asked whether she planned to perform on the big day, Katherine replied: "Can I have a day off for that? I've got some friends I can ask."
She said of her fiance Andrew Levitas: "I'm very lucky to have met such a lovely man, he's from New York and proposed to me in the Hamptons.
"It hasn't really been that long since we got engaged, we got engaged in April, and so now we've got a family from obviously Wales and a family from America and trying to get them together so, I haven't really got that far with it yet.
"They've met, everyone got on, I knew that they would all hit it off, they are very similar people and family is important to both groups - so it's great, it's really lovely."
Katherine has recently returned to record label Decca, which she first signed with at 23, and said of her upcoming 10th album: "It's an album of returning to my roots in all ways, back to the original company, back to more classical music and the style of my earlier albums.
"It's unbelievable to me because I do think back to that first album that I did and I couldn't even believe I was getting the opportunity to do that, so to think that 10 years later, I feel very lucky."

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Associated Press has learned that a University of Texas regent and a former regent spoke with Alabama coach Nick Saban's agent about Saban coaching the Longhorns if Mack Brown retired.
The meeting took place a few days after Alabama won the national championship in January. Two days later, Brown was approached by the former regent to consider retiring. Brown, who had just finished his 15th season, said he did not want to quit and the matter was dropped.
Regent Wallace Hall says he spoke by telephone with Saban's agent, Jimmy Sexton, a few days after the Jan. 7 BCS championship game. Tom Hicks, a former regent, also was on the call with Sexton.
It was not clear who initiated the meeting. Sexton did not return a call seeking comment.

TnC-Macthorpe Hero Tea Sunday 23/07/2006, 13:28
So now that Nightmare is complete what can we expect? I would like to propose a British clan but then the Americans would want one, then the Canadians, the Aussies, Kiwi's in fact all of our old colonies! However looking at the collection it seems that there are four clans that still haven't got an 'Anti-Nightmare' character. So will we be seeing Fang-Pi, GHIEST, Montana and Uppers this week or next? And what will they be?
Wee I already am creating a Governement type clan on the Yahoo Urban Rivals group. THere are some many new calns that can be added that asking this question about one clan that is existing is useless. This game was designed to be unlimited in it's expansion capabilities. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to make money off the store.

Not entirely sure what that post was getting at. I was really trying to initiate a debate on what cards/clans we might see in the future. The stuff about existing clans was just asking (and maybe tempting the staff into spilling) what other people thought we might be getting or what they would like to see. Alongside the release of Nightmare other clans seemed to get a Nightmare related card (Leo, Nymphea etc.). The four who didn't are the ones I listed and it seemed to me that giving them a card each would round off the Nightmare strand of this game quite nicely.
Fair play to your G-Force creation so far but it is a little difficult to view. Not being Yahoo-conversant I'm not sure what can be done about that so I pass it on to you!

I think they should have an all star clan with say a hockey player, baseball player, football player,basketball player race car driver etc, every city has sports teams. what does everyone else think?
TnC-Macthorpe Hero Tea Monday 24/07/2006, 15:48
I like it!

I think each nation should have a card of a popular person like brucelee, or something

Loewy's Crocodile. In the 30's in the middle of the deepest depression, the Pennsylvania Railroad PRR ventured to electrify their main routes in the eastern United States. The gigantic project included the repair and reinforcement of railway track, construction of new tunnels with greater clearance, as well as the integration of commuter lines. The first stretch extended from Washington via Baltimore, Wilmington, and Philadelphia to Penn Station in New York (including the commuter lines under the Hudson River). All that was missing was the suitable locomotive; up to that point the PRR's long distance passenger trains were steam-powered. A multi-year test phase was begun. At the end of the tests a prototype built by General Electric and Baldwin in 1934 with a 4-6-6-4 wheel arrangement, was declared the winner. The GG-1's data was impressive: 6 twin motors (a pair for each axle) put out a total of 3,445 kilowatts / 4620 horsepower with peaks even exceeding 5,965 kilowatts / 8000 horsepower. The pilot truck wheel diameter was 1.45 meters / 57 inches, the total weight 208 tons / 460,000 pounds, the length 23 meters / 79 feet 6 inches. The GG-1 reached speeds of 145 km/h /90 mph. The year before a designer, originally from France, applied for employment at the PRR. Most likely to get rid of him he was assigned to design the trash containers in Penn Station New York. The result was so impressive that he was invited to make a few suggestions for the design of the GG-1. Raymond Loewy pursued the task with thorough precision. Instead of the coarse, riveted superstructure assemblies of the prototype, he came up with a smooth-surface design. He provided an elegant, dynamic package for the mighty power of this machine. The superstructure assemblies gave the effect of being cast as single unit. They are harmoniously rounded and flow into each other without interruption. Five, sharply converging gold stripes on a dark green scheme underline the elegance. On the February 10, 1935, the PRR placed the electrified stretch between Washington and New York in operation. Thanks to its power reserves, the GG-1 shortened travel times and compressed the timetable. Consequently, the PRR also electrified its routes to the west. In total the PRR had 4,300 km / 2,677 miles under wire; this was more than 40 percent of the total electrified network of the USA. The PRR ran 3,500 passenger trains daily on its network. The 137 GG-1's pulled more than 900 trains a day, including the prestigious express trains between New York and Washington. After being regeared, the GG-1 had a second career pulling freight trains which it usually did in m.u. operation.

LONDON, Ont. — In opening remarks on March 5 to jurors in the Michael Rafferty trial, Ontario Superior Court Judge Thomas Heeney was explaining in the weeks to come, they might be asked to leave the room while lawyers argued important legal matters in their absence.
The judge then said something that dozens of his fellows have uttered before him, and with equal unctuousness.
"We are not trying to hide anything from you," he said.
But that simply wasn't the case, and the judge and everyone in the courtroom but the jurors and the public knew it.
After pre-trial arguments held two months before the jurors were even selected, Heeney had kicked out a great swath of powerful evidence of Rafferty's sexual interest in children.
The 31-year-old is pleading not guilty to kidnapping, sexual assault causing bodily harm and first-degree murder in the April 8, 2009, slaying of the little Woodstock, Ont., girl named Victoria (Tori) Stafford.
In a decision released Jan. 31, the judge ruled the jurors would never hear that forensic examination of Rafferty's laptop revealed that in the months leading up to the eight-year-old's slaying, he had done Google searches for "underage rape," "real underage rape" and "best program to download child porn," or that he had recently possessed substantial amounts of child pornography, including videos depicting "'how to' instructions for child sexual assault," and even several "snuff" films.
And in a decision made during the trial, when prosecutors tried to persuade the judge that he should re-consider his decision, at least so far as the Google evidence was concerned, Heeney again refused.
At one point during that argument, prosecutor Michael Carnegie snapped, "We always talk of the faith we have in the jury system (yet) we always seem to ignore it whenever we have evidentiary applications."
If born in frustration, in his little "aria on the jury system" as he later self-mockingly called it, Carnegie nonetheless had put his finger on what is the white elephant in the sprawling criminal justice room.
It is this: Judges forever wax on about the strengths of the jury system yet routinely keep evidence — usually the very sort that to the layman would seem to be the most relevant — from them on the grounds they would misuse it or be "inflamed" by it.
To use the language of the courtroom, it's a "reasonable inference" that this is because judges don't wholly trust either jurors' intelligence or judgment.
The triers of the facts, which is the role jurors play at trial, often don't have before them some of the most critical facts; things are kept from them, and the vaunted truth-seeking function of the trial is thus distorted.
It raises the question of why, when the system doesn't trust the triers of the facts, it even bothers with jury trials and doesn't move to trial by judge alone, as happens in some countries.
Still, even given all this, Heeney's reasons were surely curious.
Stripped to the core, the judge said that though the police had acted legally in getting search warrants for Rafferty's home and car, and though they honestly believed that was sufficient to allow for a forensic examination of the hard drive, BlackBerry and laptop found therein, and though the law on such searches was then evolving, the police should have anticipated how it might change and sought another warrant to look at the devices.
In essence, Heeney said, the police were good cops but bad lawyers, and as a "remedy" for their carelessness, he deemed the search a violation of Rafferty's charter-guaranteed right against unreasonable search and seizure and threw the evidence out.
As well as the Google searches, also found on the laptop were download artifacts "indicative of the recent possession of known child pornography imagery."
There was plenty of other evidence about Rafferty, chiefly that he had a penchant for sexual choking, the jurors never heard because prosecutors didn't try to have it admitted.
They had lined up no fewer than 12 women — not counting Terri-Lynne McClintic herself — who would have testified about Rafferty's fondness for choking out his partners.
Not all of these episodes were consensual, prosecutors said in a so-called "bad-character" factum that was filed with the court but never argued in full.
Indeed, Rafferty actually had one of his reluctant partners sign a waiver, giving him consent to choke her. "I agree to what Mike and I are doing tonight, sexual choking and passing out and other things," it read.
As the 318-page ITO — Information To Obtain a Search Warrant — makes plain, until May 19, 2009, when McClintic abruptly confessed and for the first time implicated Rafferty, the massive investigation had "no clear direction."
But when she confessed, and she and Rafferty were arrested, police quickly sought warrants to search their houses and Rafferty's distinctive 2003 Honda Civic — the car McClintic said was used to abduct Tori and in which she said Rafferty had raped her.
In pre-trial arguments, defence lawyer Dirk Derstine challenged almost everything about the search in trying to get the evidence tossed.
But Heeney found the police had been honest and acted properly — except that they sent the hard drive seized from Rafferty's house and the BlackBerry and laptop found in his car to an OPP forensic examiner without getting a secondary warrant.
The law governing computer searches was then very much in a state of flux.
There had been judicial hints that without a secondary warrant, such searches might not survive a charter challenge, but the matter simply wasn't settled yet.
When the forensic examiner asked if he needed a secondary warrant, the head of the search warrant team, OPP Det.-Sgt. Bryan Gast, told him he didn't. He relied on his experience, his training and on his reading of a law book, Hutchinson's Canadian Search Warrant Manual.
In the edition Gast had, the author warned vaguely against wide-ranging police searches and concluded, "At present, these issues remain unresolved but it is likely . . . (they) will be challenged as over seizure."
Sure enough, just two months after the police had examined Rafferty's laptop, came that first decision, a case which said clearly that police should seek secondary warrants before looking through computers and the like.
Still, though the judge in that case found there was a charter breach, she admitted the evidence.
Even Randy Schwartz, the prosecutor who argued this issue for the Crown, had to acknowledge that according to the current state of the law, there had been a technical violation of Rafferty's charter rights.
But he fought vigorously to have the evidence admitted anyway.
Admitting that "at the time of the search, no binding authority indicated that the police were obligated to obtain a (separate) search warrant" to examine the laptop, Heeney nonetheless found Gast took "the risk" the law might change.
But on Jan. 13 this year, everything changed.
In the fall of 2011, prosecutors had been intending to argue that much of the "bad character" evidence against Rafferty should be allowed.
McClintic, after all, had pleaded guilty to first-degree murder as a party to the crime, not as a principal.
The penalty was the same — an automatic life sentence — but prosecutors were anticipating that Derstine might try to point the ultimate finger of blame at her.
If that happened, prosecutors said they should be entitled to similarly put Rafferty's character at issue.
Their factum was filed last fall, but when McClintic did her shocking about-face on Jan. 13 — she told a prison counsellor it was she who had bludgeoned Stafford to death, not Rafferty — prosecutors could hardly complain if Derstine made her character an issue.
The "bad character" matter was thus adjourned unless and until the defence put Rafferty's character at issue.
Precisely that happened on March 23, in mid-trial, during Derstine's cross-examination of McClintic.
Not content with her claim that she was the killer, Derstine suggested that at one point she had "offered" Stafford to Rafferty sexually and "when it became clear he didn't want your gift," Derstine said, McClintic sent him away from the car and killed the child.
In other words, Derstine was suggesting that Rafferty wasn't the sort of fellow to want to have sex with a child.
Leaving that impression uncorrected with jurors was, Carnegie said furiously, "a distortion of the truth-finding function" of a trial.
So late last month, prosecutors tried in a limited way to persuade Heeney that by his questions, Derstine had opened the door and that the judge should re-think his earlier ruling.
He declined.
In the result, jurors heard none of it.
As they headed to their jury room Thursday, the jurors knew little of Michael Rafferty. The system hadn't trusted them with the considerable volume of information there was about the stolid man in the prisoner's box: They weren't smart like lawyers or judges. They were merely the triers of the facts.
Interestingly, Heeney often treated them, as many judges do, not only as slightly simple civilians, but as delicate flowers.
From that first day of trial, he regularly warned these nine women and three men — capable adults all, with jobs and families and responsibilities — about the "graphic and disturbing" evidence they were about to hear.
Yet throughout the 10 weeks of the trial, the jurors maintained their composure and gravity, as jurors before them almost always have done.
None of them swooned.
No one gasped in horror.
Not a one ever put up a hand, asking for a break.
As ever, the jurors were tougher, smarter and more resilient than the system credited. They deserved more than the judicial equivalent of a pat on the head.
Odds are, in the words famously uttered by the actor Jack Nicholson in the movie A Few Good Men, they could even have handled the truth.

Helmets are designed and constructed for a one off large impact. If you have an incident or accident with your helmet, it is best to get a new one, as it will not have the same protection capability.
What to look for
Measure in cm around your head above your eyebrows and ears.
Kids/XSmall 50-54cm
Small/Medium 53-56cm
Medium/Large 55-58cm
Large/XLarge 57-61cm
The helmet needs to fit firmly, but not too tight. Each manufacturer will have a different construction so you may need to try a few on. When you put the helmet on and shake your head, if it rides up your forehead or cover your eyes, then it is too big
There are two types of interior construction
- In-molded have a thin hard outer shell that is molded to a foam liner
- Hard Shell have a thick hard shell which is pre formed than glued to the foam liner, this design is for the budget conscience
There are a number of different shapes available in ski and board helmets, mostly it will come down to personal choice, it's a good idea to look for soft shell ear protection for warm and safety.
All helmets will have some type of venting. Some models will include adjustable vents. It will depend on your personal preference whether to go for sliding vents, plugs or button vents
Take your goggles with you when selecting a helmet to ensure they are compatible and comfortable together! Aim for NO gap between the top of your goggles and the rim of the helmet. Make sure the goggle strap fits over the helmet.
There are 2 main standards that you will frequently see on snow helmets
- (ASTM) is the United States standard for helmet safety rating (ASTM F2040)
- Central European Norm (CEN), a European safety standard (CEN 1077)
- Bankers Brim – stops water and snow running down the face of your helmet into your eyes or goggles
- Removable ear/neck piece
- Anti-odour/anti-bacterial treatment
- Inbuilt earphones
- mAdjustable fit
- Additional foam
- Interior goggle channel
- Removable visor
Caring for your Helmet
Do not expose your helmet to extreme pressure or heat. Clean with a damp cloth. Helmets will perish over time so replacement every 3 years is recommended

As the 2014 NFL draft drew to a close last Saturday, I could still hear Joe Pendry's prophetic words in the press box on Nov. 5, 2011.
Pendry, who had just retired the previous year as Alabama's offensive line coach, said there was a very simple reason that nobody could score a touchdown that night in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
"Look out there on the field, and probably 20 of the 22 defensive starters will be playing in the NFL," said Pendry, who was an offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans before ending his career in the college ranks.
Turns out, he might have undersold just how much talent was on the field, which in my 20-plus years of covering the SEC is unquestionably the gold standard for premium defensive talent on the field together at one time.
In that game alone, which LSU won 9-6 in overtime, there were 28 defensive players who played in the game -- 14 on each side -- who would get drafted. That includes 10 first-rounders.
The grand total of future draftees who played in the game was 42, and that doesn't even count another handful of players who made NFL rosters as undrafted free agents.
"You don't see that every Saturday," said Phil Savage, former Cleveland Browns general manager and current executive director of the Senior Bowl.
"That's why it was a tug-of-war in the middle of the field, all those future pros on defense. We call it a logo game. Neither offense could move the ball very far past the logo at midfield."
Savage, the color man on Alabama's radio broadcasts, remembers doing interviews leading up to that epic No. 1-versus-No. 2 encounter and estimating that 40 to 50 players from the game would end up playing in the NFL.
"It's as close to an NFL game as you're ever going to see in terms of a college matchup, with so many future NFL players on each side," Savage said.
The two teams wound up playing twice that season. Alabama avenged its only loss by beating LSU 21-0 in the BCS National Championship in New Orleans. Alabama finished No. 1 nationally that season in scoring defense, and LSU was No. 2. Between them, they gave up 27 touchdowns in 27 games.
The only games in Savage's recent memory that would come close to that Alabama-LSU affair in terms of producing NFL draft picks were the Florida State-Miami game in 2000 and the Miami-Ohio State BCS National Championship game to cap the 2002 season.
Miami beat Florida State 27-24 in 2000, snapping the Seminoles' 26-game regular-season winning streak.
In the next three drafts, Miami produced 26 draft choices, although not all of those players played in that 2000 game. For instance, Willis McGahee and Jerome McDougle redshirted in 2000, and Clinton Portis was injured and didn't play.
Florida State, over the next three drafts, produced 18 draft choices.
But in one game, it's hard to imagine that we'll ever see 42 future draft choices again on the field playing, and certainly not 28 on defense.
As a comparison, in that FSU-Miami game in 2000, there were a total of 17 defensive players who would end up being drafted.
Now, when it comes to one team, good luck in trumping Miami's 2001 national championship team. The Hurricanes had 16 players from that team who would go on to be first-round picks.
Here's a look at the draftees from that Alabama-LSU game in 2011:

When The Dog Bites
Many people have misconceptions about which kinds of dogs are actually inclined to bite or attack, as well as what you should do if that does happen. But Early Show Contributor Debbye Turner, who is also a veterinarian, has some advice.
Most of us don't really think about getting bitten or attacked by dogs in our daily lives, but it can happen a lot more often, and quicker, than you'd ever think. Part of the problem is that we are led to believe that there are certain types of dogs that are extremely aggressive and vicious (like pit bulls) when, in fact, some of the breeds that are more likely to bite are those you'd never think about, like poodles or terriers.
About 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs each year. One million of those need medical attention. About 750,000 children are bitten by dogs each year; in most cases, these bites are from "familiar dogs" -- not strays. Approximately 12 people die each year from dog bites
All dogs can be provoked to bite. There is really no such thing as a "bad breed." Most (if not all) dogs can be properly trained and socialized to be gentle and tolerant. Your dog should be trained to obey basic commands: sit, stay, come, and down. This alone could prevent many dog-biting incidents.
Potentially aggressive breeds:
- Llasa Apso: can be cranky with kids
- Toy poodles: bite out of self defense
- Dachsunds: not very patient
- Rhodesian Ridgebacks: very dominant breed
- Miniature Pinschers: "big dog" mindset in little body
- Pekinese: intolerant
- Chihuahuas: prefer adults, not tolerant of kids
- Chow Chow: one-person dogs, bite without warning
- Giant Schnauzers: very dominant breed, will even challenge adults
- Old English Sheep Dog: very protective of owner
- Cocker Spaniel: very protective of owner
- Rottweilers: very protective
- German Shepherd: great with kids
- Bulldog: gentle, playful
- Rottweilers: can be gentle, affectionate
- Great Danes: gentle, affectionate
- Boxers: good with kids
- Mastiffs-very docile
Most "pit bulls" are not aggressive by nature. They tend to be gentle, playful and loving. However, there are those that have been bred and trained to be aggressive. Even then, they are more aggressive toward other animals, not people.
Often, aggressive "pit bulls" have been abused and/or neglected. These are VERY dangerous.
Ways To Provoke a Dog:
- Try to take food or toy away from him. NEVER bother a dog while he is eating. The most common situation where a dog bite occurs is while a dog is eating.
- Playing "tug of war" with a dog. Many dogs interpret this as aggression. If they "win," they feel empowered. If they feel threatened, they may try to retaliate.
- "Surprising" a dog. (sneaking up on him or startling him while he is sleeping). Often, the dog's defense mechanism will kick in, and he will bite in self-defense.
- "Rough housing" with or other sudden movements toward the dog's owner. Many dogs will see this as an attack on his owner, and will attack you to defend the owner.
- Ignoring their warning! If a dogs barks ferociously or growls when you approach his territory, bed, etc. and you continue, that is an engraved invitation to get bitten. They are warning you that they don't like that and stop. Listen!
- Inappropriate touching. Dogs generally don't like their ears, tail and feet tugged. Some don't like being inverted and rubbed on their belly. This is a position of submission and an aggressive dog will resist this "challenge" vigorously.
- First, get the "okay" from the owner.
- Hold out your hand, fingers closed, palm down, slowly toward the dog. Allow the dog to approach your hand and sniff it.
- Wait for the dog's "okay". If he wants your affection, he will lower his head, perk ears, or even come closer to you. If the dog puts his ears back, flat on his head, or growls, or cowers, don't pet him.
- Pat the dog on the top of his head, or along his back. Avoid touching his belly, tail, ears, or feet.
- Stand still. If you keep approaching, the dog will interpret this as an attack
- Don't make eye contact. This is a challenge to the dog
- Don't smile. The dog thinks you are "baring your teeth" at him. This is an invitation to fight.
- Wait for the dog's owner to come and restrain the dog
- Respect the dog's wishes! If the dog is barking and growling, he is expressing his definite displeasure with your actions. Don't push the envelope. Most dogs make good on their warnings!
- Don't move! You cannot outrun a dog, no matter how fast you are. Running only provokes an angry dog.
- Look away. Staring an aggressive dog in the eyes is a challenge.
- Use a soft, soothing tone of voice. Loud, angry-sounding words and screaming only spur on the dog.
- Keep your arms to your side, with your fingers curled in so the dog can't bite them.
- If he bites you, DO NOT PULL AWAY. This only spurs the dog on. Remain calm. Try to ram a stick, broom handle, etc down the dog's throat to make him gag and let you go. Don't hit the dog. Again, that just makes the situation worse.
- If you are on the ground, curl into a fetal position. Cover your head and neck. Lay perfectly still. Usually a still target is boring to the dog and they will retreat.

Prosthetic paw for abused dog completed
Debbie found as puppy with paw chopped off, ears mutilated
ORLANDO, Fla. – Debbie was found as a puppy with her paw chopped off and her ears mutilated, abandoned by someone who'd abused her.
Now, she's an outgoing dog who's just gotten a brand new leg.
Local 6 reported on Debbie last week during her final fitting for her prosthetic. Wednesday, clinicians made the final tweaks and Debbie walked away on four paws.
While she gets used to the prosthetic, which now features a carbon-fiber foot that gives her momentum, she may still hobble. But prosthetists think she should get more comfortable soon, eventually putting her full weight on the limb.
"She's our world. She's everything, her and her brother, and to see her being able to run and walk normally like any other dog and not be in any discomfort. It's an amazing feeling," said Debbie's new adoptive owner, Chaya Springer.
Since Debbie was rescued she's had several prosthetics, but clinicians think she's done growing and this will be her last.
An Orlando-based company, ABC Prosthetics and Orthotics, made her the new paw free of charge.
"It wasn't working properly for her. It wasn't staying on. We made her one before but she's outgrown it, but she's close to a year now so we think she won't grow too much more," said Becky Curls, of ABC Prosthetics.
ABC Prosthetics said the work normally costs hundreds of dollars, but they were so inspired by Debbie's story they're donating it.
Debbie's owner said she's eternally grateful.
"We couldn't be more blessed to have her here with them," said Springer.

Dear Hungry Girl, Thank you for telling us about Panera Bread's Hidden Menu! Are there secret menu items at other restaurants that I should know about? Searching for Secrets
Hi Searching,
That menu is SO GOOD! And there's definitely something fun about super-secret meal options. Here are some more hidden gems... Burger King - The unofficial Mustard Whopper Jr. is served with mustard in place of mayo for about 260 calories and 10g fat (PointsPlus® value 7*). Yum! And in case you don't know, BK has a MorningStar Veggie Burger. Without mayo it has 320 calories and 7g fat (PointsPlus® value 8*). Starbucks - The underground Skinny Crunchberry Frappuccino (a.k.a. Skinny Captain Crunch) is a Strawberries & Crème frap with nonfat milk, no whip, and sugar-free hazelnut syrup. WOW! A tall has 170 calories and 0g fat (PointsPlus® value 5*). Just make sure to specify Skinny. Speaking of which, "skinny" is a great word to throw around at the 'Bucks, because it means your drink will be made with nonfat milk and served without whipped cream... and if there's syrup in the drink, it'll be the sugar-free kind. Carl's Jr. and Hardee's - There are a few Low Carb items on the menu that are wrapped in lettuce instead of served on a bun, but did you know you can request ANY sandwich Low Carb style and they'll replace the bun with a lettuce wrap? That saves you 140 - 250 calories and 2 - 6g fat! There are also Veg It, Trim It, and Gluten-Sensitive ways of ordering... Check the Better for You Options section of the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's websites for more info! And you can always custom order the turkey burgers and fish burgers (they're not as guilt-free as they sound)... Click here and here for the HG way. Subway - The executive chef at everyone's favorite sandwich chain recently revealed some secret special orders. Check out the Sweet and Sour Chicken Sub: chicken, banana peppers, tomatoes, red onion, sweet onion sauce, and red wine vinaigrette. A 6-inch 9-Grain Wheat version has around 390 calories and 5g fat (PointsPlus® value 9*). Click here for more secret Subway stuff! In-N-Out - This mega-popular southwestern chain has a full-on secret menu! Your best bet? Order a Protein Style burger (a hamburger patty wrapped in lettuce along with tomato and onion), and then ask for ketchup and mustard in place of the special spread. That'll come to 160 calories and 8g fat (PointsPlus® value 4*). Score! Secret-Menu Ordering Tip!!! Not every location and employee will know these secret menu items by name. So ask nicely, and be prepared to tell them what's in 'em! Most places are happy to do what they can to accommodate your request. Don't Forget About Special Ordering… Hidden-menu items are really just popular custom orders with fancy names. Don't be afraid to ask for something that's not on the menu. For burger joints, request a sandwich wrapped in lettuce leaves instead of served on a carby bun, and opt for ketchup and mustard in place of mayo. At sandwich shops, see if they'll make your sub into a salad. Getting sugar-free syrup rather than the regular stuff is a great way to lower the stats on coffee-shop drinks. At sit-down restaurants, ask to swap the fries or baked potato for a second serving of veggies... And you can often get fresh fruit for dessert even if it's not on the menu. Happy hidden-menu ordering! And since you're a Panera fan, look for our brand-new Panera Survival Guide, coming this Friday...
It's hard to keep a lid on secret-menu picks as good as these... Click "Send to a Friend" to spill the beans!
Today, June 26th, is National Chocolate Pudding Day. Turn a pudding cup into a decadent breakfast by layering it with oatmeal and fresh fruit... Click for a recipe!

HIV/AIDS News
Study Sheds Light on Role of Gender Differences in the Risk of HIV Infection Among Injection Drug Users: High-risk sexual activity plays key role
HIV risk factors among injection drug users (IDUs) differ markedly by gender, according to a 10-year study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). A recent study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University reported that while drug-related risk behaviors and homosexual activity are the most important predictors of HIV seroconversion among males, factors consistent with high-risk heterosexual activities are the main predictors among females. The findings, reported in the May 28 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, provide insight into the relationship between gender and high-risk sexual behaviors in the development of HIV infection.
"Early studies of injection drug users suggested tthat most HIV infections were due primarily to sharing needles," said NIDA Director Alan I. Leshner, Ph.D. "This study adds to the body of evidence that supports the need for gender-specific interventions in the treatment of that group of drug users."
Between 1988 and 1998, a team of researchers, led by Dr. Steffanie Strathdee at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, examined both drug related and sexual risk factors for HIV transmission in a study of more than 1,800 injecting drug users in Baltimore, Maryland. Study participants were aged 18 or older, did not have an AIDS defining illness at enrollment, and reported a history of illicit injection drug use within the previous 10 years. Through semi-annual interviews, researchers collected data on drug use history, sociodemographics, and drug use and sexual behavior within the last 6 months. Blood samples were also obtained at each study visit. Researchers used commercial HIV and antibody ELISA to identify those participants who had become HIV positive since their last visit.
Dr. Strathdee and her colleagues found that the greatest predictor for HIV seroconversion among both male and female IDUs was high-risk sexual behavior. Study findings revealed that male injection drug users who reported recent homosexual activity were four times more likely to become infected with HIV.
Among females, indicators of high-risk heterosexual activity outweighed needle-sharing behaviors as independent predictors of HIV seroconversion. HIV incidence was more than two times higher among women who reported recently having sex with another injection drug user.
Another common predictor of HIV seroconversion observed by researchers among both male and female IDUs was younger age. Investigators found that IDUs who were aged 30 or younger at enrollment were more than twice as likely to seroconvert than those aged 40 or older. "This is consistent with several reports which indicate that younger IDUs are more likely to engage in needle sharing and other behaviors that place them at higher risk of acquiring HIV and hepatitis B or C viruses," stated Dr. Strathdee.

How very unlike Valve. In a post on the game's official blog, DotA 2 developers say that while they had planned to keep testing the game for another year or so in a very private beta, they now want to "get it out there as fast as we can".
"Our original plan was to spend the next year or so in beta, adding new features and slowly growing the number of heroes until we reached a level of parity with Dota 1, at which point we'd release Dota 2 to the world," the post says. "But the feedback we're seeing everywhere is that people just want to play it, even though there's still a ton of heroes yet to be implemented. We've also seen that the folks who are already in the beta are chomping at the bit to show everyone else some of the fun games they've had. So we decided our original plan was dumb."
So there's been a change.
"Welcome to the new plan: We're going to take the current version of Dota 2, which has The International set of heroes, and get it out there as fast as we can."
That means a more public beta is on the fast track. You'll still need to sign up for an invite, but the number of people invited is going to ramp up.
As an added bonus, those in the beta are now no longer forbidden from taking screenshots and videos, so expect to see a lot more of that stuff in the weeks to come.
I Said Good Day Sir! [Dota 2]

Located on South Carolina's beautiful Grand Strand, Pawley's Island is the laid back alternative to the Myrtle Beach holiday. Shopping, dining, or golfing is all within reach of your holiday rental. Whether you opt for renting an oceanfront beach house or a condo, the Pawley's experience is great for the family holiday.
Just south of Myrtle Beach, Pawley's Island is best known for the Hammock Shops, a unique shopping experience of quaint small shops nestled under trees full of Spanish Moss. Just a short ride from your holiday rental, you can find everything from shoes to local artwork. Or you might choose to go golfing on one of the many world-class golf courses in the area. Or just walk from your holiday rental right onto the beach for sun and surf.
While Pawley's is quieter and more relaxed than nearby Myrtle Beach, the latter's close proximity to your holiday rental provides infinite possibilities for dining and nightlife. Murrell's Inlet, a quaint fishing village, and its bevy of seafood restaurants is just up the road and also has a Salt Marsh Preserve. Simple but delicious hamburgers at the River City cafe or finer dining at one of the hundreds of other restaurants are all within short driving distance from your holiday rental. After dinner you might seek out one of the many venues for arts and entertainment. The Carolina Opry is well known for its amazing shows. You can see a live show or dance the night away…or both!
Enjoying the beach is the obvious activity but there is so much more to do than just that. Parasailing is a popular option, as is a visit to the Huntington State Park to explore the local flora and fauna. The park has many programs to entertain and enlighten both the young and old. On the grounds is Atalaya, the home of the artist Anna Hyatt Huntington. Just across the street is Brookgreen Gardens which features many of the sculptures of the artist as well as the lovely manicured gardens.
Choosing a holiday rental in Pawley's Island is an economical and fun way to enjoy this coastal town. House or condo, you can have all the conveniences of home as well as room for the entire family to spread out in comfort. Walk to the beach or drive to one of the many attractions; a holiday rental is definitely the way to go.

Worth Every Penny - by Erin Verbeck and Sarah Petty
A revelation for small business owners: creating a profitable business is possible without getting into a slash-and-burn price war with your competitors.
Many small business owners feel pressure to discount their products and services, especially when times are tough. After all, how else will they keep up with the low prices offered by their discounting competitors? What they don't realize is that discounting is the last thing they should be doing if they want to win big. Sarah Petty and Erin Verbeck are here to show you that there's a radically different way to run a small business-- one in which the owners focus on creating specialized offerings and an over-the-top customer experience, not on matching the prices of their competition. Worth Every Penny encourages you to explore and use this model, which is designed to maximize your advantages over the big-box stores and other discounting competitors.
The authors' strategies are enhanced by real-life business experiences and vivid anecdotes from all types of business owners--restaurateurs to contractors to professional service providers and photographers. With the advice in Worth Every Penny, you will be inspired to live your passion and pass your enthusiasm on to your customers. The result: a profitable business that avoids succumbing to the pressure to discount.

Hair Loss Spots
Veterinarian Reviewed on May 19, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Hair Loss Spots
It is considered as an acquired skin disorder which affects the whole hair-bearing skin. It is also characterized with localized areas of the non-scarring hair loss. Moreover, it is associated with other internal or external medical problems. This is rare right before three years old. It is also a persistent to scarring kind of hair loss which affects any hair-bearing skin area. Clinically, it can manifest numerous various pattern. However, it can also cause tremendous psychological and emotional distress in the affected patients as well as their families.
Causes of the Skin Disease
The present evidence suggests that this skin disease is caused by the abnormality in the immune system. This abnormality leads to the so-called "autoimmunity". This is considered as the misguided human immune system which tends to attack the body itself. With alopecia areata, the immune system of the body attacks the hair follicles, thus, disrupting the formation of the normal hair. Occasionally, this is associated with other autoimmune conditions like allergic skin disorders, Lupus, ulcerative colitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and thyroid disease. The treatment and diagnosis of such disease affect the itinerary of the disease.
The Skin Disease's Different Patterns
The most typical pattern is well-defined hair loss spots within the scalp. It is obvious that you could also see more of the generalized hair thinning throughout the scalp.
Who is Greatly Affected by the Skin Disease?
This kind of disease tends to appear in adults aging thirty to sixty years old. This skin disease is not considered as contagious. It is also recognized from hair shedding, which might appear with the discontinuation of the hormonal progesterone and estrogen, therapies birth control or the hair falling associated at the end of the pregnancy.
How Could this Disease be Diagnosed?
Occasionally, it is necessary that your scalp must have to undergo biopsy to support the diagnosis. The other findings which are helpful are the appearance of the short hair representing the fractured hair, short thin hair and grey hair, which are present within the bald area. Other causes of hair loss are excluded from such consideration through the clinical evaluation and history.
Alopecia Areata Treatment
This disease is not merely predictable with its high spontaneous remission. There are such assortments of treatments; however, these are not confidently predicted to impact the course of the skin disorder. For many years, creams, shampoos and steroid injections are used for scalp.
However, there is no such effective prevention method. The eradication of emotional stress is being felt to be very helpful. Moreover, there are no hair-care products and no drugs which are associated with the beginning of the skin disease. Furthermore, the damaging emotional effect that is important to hair loss for men and women are always considered.
Appearance of the Skin Disease
It is usually oval or round in shape and it is entirely smooth and bald. These appeared to be broken and short hair, which taper at its base. Several people experience a slight tingling or burning within the hair loss area.

The internet has really done it this time - if you thought the reviews for Grand Theft Auto IV were good, the reviews for Grand Theft Auto V absolutely blow them out of the water, both in terms of word count and hyperbole. The reviews are massive and detailed - it's clear that videogame journalists have really put the time in to make these reviews as huge and enthusiastic as we've come to expect from videogame blogs and news outlets. Words like "perfect", "masterpiece," and "revolutionary" are only the tip of the iceberg here.
It's been 5 years since the last major Grand Theft Auto round of reviews, and in the time since then, the technology has advanced by leaps and bounds - and it shows. There's so much more going on beneath the review-engine too: elaborate videos, nicely animated .gifs, and finely-crafted image galleries will keep you occupied whenever you grow tired of the main review. There's more to do in these reviews than in almost any review you'll partake in this year. All in all, they should run you somewhere around 30 hours of review-time. Really, a wall-to-wall technical achievement.
That's not to say the internet simply delivered exactly what you expected - there were (as always) some surprises in the GTA V reviews: complaints of sexism, annoyances about the problematic story structure and its effects on gameplay, suggestions of the contextualization of the violence in the game, etc. The result is a more nuanced take on the classic GTA review formula, and the experience is all the more rich and complex for it.
Overall, it's hard to argue that the reviews for GTA V failed to exceed even our wildest expectations. These reviews are ambitious, overreaching, and mind-bogglingly huge - absolutely the gold-standard for modern reviews, with a level of polish that can only be expected from a GTA review. It'll be very interesting to see them try to top this with GTA VI reviews, since these are the Citizen Kane(s) of game reviews.

DetailsIt's about time that the Millennium figures had some anatomically correct, morphable Millennium Teeth for those close up renders! Whether you're looking for a sexy smile, vampire fangs, dentist-averse gums or a monster maw (or even just dentures), now you can add a degree of realism and versatility previously unknown to Poser. With 17 morphs, 2 texture maps, 2 bump maps, and 34 MAT files, your easily customized chompers will attract all the attention!
This model will conform to your Millennium Figures*. (Just read in the character first, then the teeth, and then conform!) The teeth can also be parented, or manually posed/morphed for customizing to Millennium or other Poser characters. With individual materials for the front 12 teeth, you can cap them or knock them out in any combination you'd like. Morphs may also be mixed and matched on the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both together for a truly unique look.
Each tooth was sculpted to a 10 inch model using Dental reference materials to achieve accurate crown shape and occlussial surface. The teeth were then painstakingly hand digitized and modeled to a high resolution which resulted in a model with 13695 polys for the crowns and gums. (No roots.) Further care was taken for proper positioning of each tooth with the others to attain correct bite.

TOKYO - Japan and the U.S. said Friday that they have agreed on plans for returning to Japan land near Kadena Air Base on the southern island of Okinawa that is now used by U.S. troops, in an effort to balance local concerns with support for the countries' military alliance.
A statement issued by both sides characterized the plan as a realignment and consolidation of U.S. forces in Okinawa.
"Recognizing the strong desires of Okinawa residents, this consolidation plan is to be implemented as soon as possible while ensuring operational capability, including training capability, throughout the process," it said.
Okinawa was invaded by U.S. forces in World War II and has had an American military presence ever since. Tensions over land use, crimes committed by military personnel and disruptions by military flights on the heavily populated, semi-tropical island have been building over the years.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos announced the agreement Friday.
"This is a very important event for reducing the impact of our bases in Okinawa, but at the same time maintaining the long-term sustainability of our bases and our ability to achieve peace and security in the region and the defense of Japan," Roos said.
The plans call for eventually returning more than 570 hectares (1,400 acres) of land near Kadena. The various facilities and land are being returned to Japan as replacement locations become available and troops are transferred out of Japan.
It also includes separate timetables and arrangements for relocating the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station in the Okinawan city of Ginowan beginning in fiscal 2022. The original plan for relocating Futenma to another location, Nago, by 2014 was put off due to local opposition.
Abe said the agreement demonstrated that both sides recognized the need to reduce the burden imposed on Okinawa by the Japan-U.S. alliance.
"We will follow this plan intending to do our best to realize the return (of Okinawan land) as soon as possible," he said.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the agreement marked an important step in America's efforts to maintain an "effective U.S. force presence in the region while reducing our footprint on the island of Okinawa."
"Now more than ever it is essential that the United States maintain a geographically distributed and sustainable force throughout Asia that can provide for the protection of Japan and our other allies, and U.S. interests," Hagel said in a statement.
An earlier agreement called for setting detailed plans by late 2012 for returning facilities and land to Okinawa. But progress was slowed by funding cuts that delayed relocating troops and facilities to Guam and families of U.S. service members to South Korea.
Associated Press writer Lolita C. Baldor in Washington contributed to this report.

After God kicked humans out of the Garden of Eden, we damn well shouldn't thank Him for food we toiled for! ;-p
All hail the almighty dollar!
On the odd occasion that I've been asked to give grace I've said, in varying ways, Thank you lord for this wonderful food [random biblical bullshit here] instead of those starving Africans [drowning Indonesians/dying Haitians/any needy cause in vogue].
Unsurprisingly I never get asked twice. Mostly I don't get invited back. Sometimes I offer to say grace just to infuriate the loons.
