The indoor trainer season is approaching and there's a crop of new trainers that interface with the iPhone and with the web.
- Kinetic InRide iPhone app talks to the trainer and knows your speed , mileage and power output. Then you can upload that to your Strava account
- The Rock and Roll trainer allows you the freedom of movement to rock left to right when riding out of saddle.
- The fluid resistance unit is completely sealed. There is no axle or seals to fail to connect to the wheels since that junction is performed by super-magnets!
Intrigued? Then read on.
As mentioned, the Kinetic InRide iPhone app seems to be well thought-out. A magnet is embedded on the trainer roller. Then the sensor pod communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart® and transmits ride data to the Kinetic InRide app running on a paired iPhone 4s, 5 or iPad 3. All the basic information displayed on a bike computer using a wheel speed sensor is shown. but the cool thing is that power data is also displayed. How? Because Kinetic precisely builds each of their fluid resistance units to exact specs, they can measure accurate and repeatable wattage with consistency from unit to unit. Kinetic has calibrated their fluid resistance unit using a strain-gauge based watt meter and developed a formula that gives accurate wattage measurements based on speed only. So, when a rider's speed is measured, wattage can also be measured on a Kinetic fluid trainer. Rapid data sampling of the spinning roller allows cadence to be measured virtually by reading the torque pulses of a riders pedal stroke.
The other neat feature is all this data is stored in a standard file format so the rider can upload it to Strava or their favorite logging website. After all, if you rode two hours on the trainer and it's not logged or shared in the social sphere, did it really happen?
Features Include
- Kinetic InRide sensor and Heart Rate Monitor pairs with iPhone 4s using Bluetooth Smart protocols, eliminating need for additional dongles.
- Kinetic InRide sensor transmits power, cadence, speed and distance
- Power data includes: TSS, nPower, iFactor, mean maximal power* and time-in-power zones
- 5 different data screens allow you to focus on wattage or heart rate
- Personalized power and heart rate zone info based on rider lactate threshold or maximum heart rate.
- Auto-calculated wattage and HR zones show current, average, and max heart rate and total time spent in each training zone during workout.
- Calorie burn tracks energy expenditure when you configure user data including: age, weight, and height.
- Auto coast-down calibration accurately sets wattage for varying tire pressure and trainer roller tension
- Tracks lap splits
- Ride History logs results from your entire workout history, organized by date in the history tab.
- Upload workouts to popular training and workout-sharing web sites
- Email data in .pwx, .tcx, .csv, .gpx, or.wf files for upload and analysis anywhere.
- Audio announcements include: distance, time, pace, calories burned, heart rate zone and more at regular distance or time intervals for motivated workouts
- Music-player control screen to access library
- Kinetic InRide only compatible with Kinetic fluid resistance Trainers and is backwards compatible with all current models
- Easy installation, just stick sensor to back of resistance unit as instructed, insert plug and magnet into hole in roller, install Kinetic InRide app, configure rider data and get rolling!
- User can choose any iPhone case and bike mount system (not included with InRide).
- Works with iPhone 4s and iPad 3 only (not iPad app)
Then Dave showed us the Rock'n Roll trainer which is stable yet allows freedom of movement when climbing out of saddle. This is the natural motion of a rider and very few trainers if any allow this. It seems to us that the rider will develop better balance and will help build up the upper body if desired.
The trainer's action is demonstrated nicely here.

All of these cultures and all of these nascent empires are small fry, however, compared with what is happening in the Far East. There, in China, In 240 B.C. Ying Zheng, ruler of the Qin Kingdom, rose to power. He proclaimed himself First Emperor of the Qin, or Qin Shihuangdi.

In 1974, the same year in which Lucy was discovered, a peasant working the fields in the shadow of the imperial tomb, found fragments of a terracotta statue. This chance discovery led to one of the most magnificent archaeological discoveries of the 20th century; the army of terracotta soldiers. Approximately 8000 terracotta statues have been uncovered thus far. All of these require restoration and preservation, with some of these requiring up to one year's worth of work before they can be displayed.

PhoneArena's Micheal H. addresses an article at Forbes:
The conclusion may sound redundant at this point, but it is fairly simple: if you want to have a discussion about Android and iOS (and there are plenty of incredibly interesting discussions to be had), think about the issues you want to cover, and break each down on their own terms. Trying to bundle arguments under and umbrella term like "fragmentation" is just lazy and it holds very little meaning at this point.
At the end of the day, I always get the feeling that the people yelling the loudest about "fragmentation" are people on the sidelines, who've never coded for Android at all. That's not to say it's not a problem at all - it's just to say that it's an area where the competition does a better job. Android's device diversity certainly creates additional challenges for Android developers, much in the same way that Apple's inconsistent App Store policies creates additional challenges for iOS developers.
Each platform has its weaknesses, but none have been as aggressively made larger than it really seems to be than Android's supposed fragmentation. Unravelling this positive feedback loop among these bloggers should make for fascinating material.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Clark Kellogg is leaving the Indianapolis Pacers after being with the team 32 years as a player, broadcaster and most recently as vice president for player relations.
Kellogg was the first-round draft pick by the Pacers out of Ohio State in 1982 and he played five seasons before he was forced to retire because of a knee injury. He then worked as a radio and TV analyst for the Pacers until being named vice president for player relations in 2010.
The team issued a release Tuesday with Kellogg saying it was time to move on, saying he did so with no regrets. He said he plans to continue his work as a college basketball analyst and commentator for CBS Sports.
Pacers President Larry Bird said Kellogg will be missed.

Love comes to the rescue
As they have done for the past 30 years, the Shriners Children's Hospital has sent a team to the territory to care for children with orthopedic problems. A team of four was in the territory last week from Honolulu for their second visit this year.
The Shriner's Hospital for Children provides advanced care for children with burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate regardless if the families are able to pay for the services, says Dr. Craig Ono who led the team.
Traveling with Dr. Ono, who is the surgeon and assistant chief of staff at Shriners, are Sherlyn Caneda, a Nurse Practitioner, their Outreach Coordinator Sandy Zukeran and Orthotics/Prosthetics Manager, Ken Mandler. Dr. Ono said during this second visit, that an estimate of 116 young patients were checked. 60 were follow ups and 46 were new patients, with the majority of the cases resulting from sport injuries, especially knee injuries from football.
He said that the Shriners have been coming once a year to American Samoa for the past 30 years, however, due to the increase of patients, the Shriners team are now visiting biannually.
"Initially we make recommendations on what to do with the patients that we see, whether they can be treated locally or should come to Honolulu for further treatment.
"We have a total of 18 patients that we need to fly out to Hawaii sometime this year or next year for further treatment" said Dr Ono.
Dr. Ono said they also see some problems of fractured plate of the hip. "Children with these types of problems, when recognized, need to be taken to Honolulu as soon as possible, to be treated quickly.
The most common problem they have faced during this trip, he noted, is the incidence of "club foot", where children are born with feet that are turned down, which in some cases, can be treated with casts. He further explained that in the course of a year and half ago, they have taken care of over 40 patients to Honolulu, from the territory.
Sherlyn Caneda said that compared to last trip to the territory, six months ago, this trip is busier.
"Our patients numbers have tended to increase, and we have been busier and busier. I was lucky enough to come six months ago and the number of the initial patients has increased, and that is always exciting, because it shows that we're building a good relationship with Dr. Ledua and the community."
Dr. Akapusi Ledua, LBJ Hospital's Chief Medical Officer and Chief of Orthopedic Surgery thanked the Shriners for their support ."We are very fortunate to have their services provided for our people and the community should make use of these services, because they are specialized services." he said.
He noted that the relationship the local orthopedic office has with the Shriners is very solid, and whenever they come across a serious case, they only need to pick up the phone and call Honolulu.
He also commended the local Shriners Club for their assistance in bringing down the Shriner's team and also in assisting the patients who need to travel to Honolulu for further treatment. "Thank you for your contribution" he said to the American Samoa Shriner's Club.
The local Shriners club fundraises every year to help pay the transportation costs for patients traveling to the Shriners hospital in Honolulu, Hawai'i for treatment. Dr Ono who led the team, is a surgeon, and likes being part of this team, as shown by his affiliation with both the U.S. Army and Shriners Hospital for Children in Honolulu, which provides orthopedic, burn and spinal-cord-injury care at no cost, to children throughout the Pacific.
In reference to the Shriners medical team, Ono stated last week that "It's not just the single-service physician (doing the job). It's also the therapists, the nurses; a group of people called care coordinators; we have a dedicated group in our operating room -- people we operate with every day, so they're a team. ... It's everybody from the maintenance staff all the way up to our top hospital administrator."
"Actually, I think the best thing about working here at Shriners is that we have such a great team. I don't think anybody could do it alone," he said.
According to the Shriner's website, Ono is a surgeon with the Army Reserve, in the 9th Mission Support Command. In just a few weeks, Col. Ono will be deployed to Afghanistan for three months—his fourth tour of duty in a combat zone since Desert Storm in the early '90s.
Ono joined the Army partly as a way to help pay for his medical training. Besides Shriners and the Army, Ono also teaches surgery at the University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine and the U.S. Defense Department's F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine. According to the Shriner's website, Love to the Rescue highlights the Shriners Hospitals for Children's outstanding medical care and its unique ingredient – love.
"Every day at Shriners Hospitals for Children, love comes to the rescue through pediatric specialty care, innovative research and world-class medical education. "For nearly 90 years, Shriners Hospitals for Children has relied on self-funding and local fundraising efforts to care for nearly a million children with special medical needs, regardless of their ability to pay. "Our wide range of healthcare providers deliver exceptional, compassionate and family-centered care for children, but until now, our story went untold.
"We are excited to embark on this marketing campaign to share our story with people across the nation. "With continued public support, we can keep the Shriners Hospitals for Children mission alive for another 90 years," said Michael G. Severe, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Shriners Hospitals for Children.
The integrated marketing campaign includes national television commercials featuring Shriners Hospitals for Children patients on more than 25 channels, including CNN, Fox News Channel, TBS and E!. The campaign also includes online advertising and direct mail marketing. Public relations efforts will help tell the Shriners Hospitals for Children story through national and regional media.

Good advice. I've not exceeded 60km/h yet (gone close), perhaps through some nervousness - but also perhaps not riding the right way. Compared to some of the M7 regular riders, I'm quite slow due to some persistant niggling injury issues. But I'm getting that sorted out once and for all and see light at the end of the tunnel.

text: Admin 457 Posted December 18, 2006 A press release from Bandai... (original release can be seen here Bandai America's Dynamic Tamagotchi® Connection® Is Crowned by Numerous Awards Panels and Fans The World's First and #1 Selling "Virtual Pet" Honored With Several Prestigious Awards Amidst Fan Frenzy Over Special Promotions and Giveaways CYPRESS, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 13, 2006 -- Bandai America Inc.'s Tamagotchi Connection -- the world's first and original "virtual pet" tech toy -- continues its reign as one of the most coveted tech toys of 2006. Not only has it been a consistent bestseller at retail, it has also scored a number of top awards and distinctions this year. In fact, Tamagotchi is a leader in the Robotic/Interactive Playmates category by remaining the #1 selling property for girls (according to market information company The NPD Group; based on sales through October 2006). While flying off shelves, Tamagotchi Connection V3 has been busy winning accolades within the industry, including: -- Toy Industry Association's "Toy of the Year" (T.O.T.Y.) awards finalist for "Electronic Entertainment Toy of the Year" -- The National Parenting Center's "Holiday Seal of Approval," which selects toys based on parents' and children's interaction with toys -- Family Magazine Group's "Family Choice Award," which recognizes the best in children's and parenting resources -- Toy Wishes' Holiday "All Star" -- Toy Wishes' Spring/Summer "Hot Dozen," which predicts the season's top sellers and the most innovative, in-demand toys -- Toys "R" Us Top 12 Stocking Stuffer Ideas and Great Finds for 2006 "Tamagotchi V3's exciting new online play at TamagotchiTown.com allows fans to venture even deeper into the world of their favorite Tamagotchi characters," said Michael Riley, vice president of marketing for Bandai America Inc. "Our strong retail performance and critical acclaim have proven that the third time's the charm as the brand continues to energize our loyal fan base with fresh new designs, features and promotions." In response to V3's overwhelming success this year, Bandai America created a special limited edition "Golden Tamagotchi" to thank fans for their support. Never to be sold in stores, only 2,000 were handcrafted and individually numbered for distribution in the United States. More than 65,000 excited fans scrambled to win only 300 Golden Tamagotchis during October's "Golden Month" online celebration. Now, fans can tune into Radio Disney as well as other radio stations nationwide through the end of the year to win one of these elusive toys. Additionally, the "Great Tamagotchi Fan Shell-ection," which let voters determine the first new Tamagotchi design to debut in January 2007, made fans into the ultimate fashionistas as they made the style declaration of the year and predicted next season's "must-have" look. After a tough race to the finish line, fans overwhelmingly chose "Glow-in-the-Dark" as the eventual winner, garnering more than 50% of the vote. Thanks to OsuMesu21 for finding this.

Chewy, Crispy, and Hot: Fresh-Baked Yeast Breads
When was the last time you baked fresh yeasted bread at home? I have not been baking bread very frequently, and I miss it! That irresistible fragrance of crusty bread in the oven, and the hot, steaming slices with pats of butter — so delicious! I fully intend to bake a loaf of bread this week, so to inspire you and myself, here's a look back at some yeast breads we've featured on The Kitchn — starting, of course, with that delicious and convenient No-Knead Bread!
No-Knead Bread was such a hit in my household. I do think the name of No-Knead Bread is a little misleading, though. It's not the no-knead part of the recipe that makes this bread so good. I don't mind kneading bread at all — it's therapeutic, in fact. No, this bread is wonderful because of its very wet dough (which makes kneading almost impossible) and therefore its rustic, artisan-quality crumb. It's also spectacularly easy and, with its flexible overnight raise time, very convenient.
I think, personally, that No-Knead Bread introduced a huge group of cooks to wet, slow-rise breads, and they realized for the first time that bread could be both convenient and easy. This may be old hat to many of you, but lots of cooks simply didn't realize bread could be so accessible and easy to slip into their busy schedules. No-Knead Bread changed that, and so I do think its moniker is slightly besides the point.
I would like to call it Mix-and-Forget-About-It-Then-Bake-to-Great-Applause-Bread. But it doesn't have quite the same ring, eh?
Anyway, whatever you to choose to call it, here's a look at No-Knead Bread, No-Time Bread, No-Knead Bread in a sandwich loaf, and much, much more.
• 1 No-Time Bread - Yeast bread in less than 75 minutes. For real!
• 2 No-Knead Bread in a Hurry - The classic recipe.
• 3 No-Knead Bread Hack: Making a Sandwich Loaf Instead - Great flavor and easy bread, but for sandwiches.
• 4 Recipe: No-Knead Challah - Rich and eggy.
• 5 Recipe Review: Daniel Leader's Ricotta Bread - Moist and spongy.
• 6 Recipe: Beginner Sourdough Loaf - Step-by-step instructions on getting that sourdough flavor.
• 7 Recipe Review: Oatmeal Toasting Bread - Nutty and crunchy.
• 8 Recipe: Easy Homemade Pita Bread - Make your own pita pockets.
• 9 Recipe Review: Authentic Ciabatta from Cook's Illustrated - Chewy ciabatta!
• 10 Recipe Review: Yeast-raised Cornbread - Cornbread, with yeast.
• 11 Recipe: Potato Dough Rolls - Chewy, moist, and addictive.
• 12 Pan co'Santi: Walnut Bread from Jim Lahey - A special treat!
• 13 No-Knead Recipe: Cheddar and Chiles Bread - Cheesy bread! How can you go wrong?
And a few more...
• Recipe: Mom's Rosemary Focaccia
• Recipe: Houska (Czech Easter Bread)
• How To Bake No-Knead Bread On the Grill
Have you tried any particularly good yeast breads lately? I am definitely looking for some new recipes to try!

By mid-November, when most directors of holiday movies were unwinding with their work largely completed, filmmaker David O. Russell was pulling 18-hour days and seven-day weeks, rushing to finish "American Hustle."
The mad dash was worth it: "American Hustle," opening in limited release Friday, has vaulted into the top tier of Oscar contenders.
Nominations for the Golden Globes — where "American Hustle" tied with "12 Years a Slave" for the most selections with seven — coupled with "American Hustle's" strong showing in Wednesday's Screen Actors Guild Awards have transformed Russell's retelling of the 1970s Abscam scandal into a legitimate rival to the biographical drama "12 Years a Slave" and the space thriller "Gravity," which long have been Academy Award front-runners.
PHOTOS: Golden Globe nominations snubs and surprises | Complete list of nominees
The Globe nominations were kind to other films coming out later this year: Both "The Wolf of Wall Street," the account of a win-at-all-costs stockbroker premiering on Christmas, and "Her," a dystopian tale of severed interpersonal relationships opening Dec. 18, received multiple nominations from the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., including selections alongside "American Hustle" for best comedy or musical motion picture.
But other late season entries didn't fare as well. The Globe voters failed to nominate "August: Osage County," also opening Christmas, or "Saving Mr. Banks," premiering Friday, in the comedy or musical category.
"We've been killing ourselves in this intense period of time," Russell said after the Globe nominations were announced early Thursday. "We thought it was alive and these characters were special. And we all looked at each other as we were finishing the film saying we hope we're not the only five people to feel this way. It was very emotional for me."
PHOTOS: Golden Globes 2014 nominee reactions
The other best picture finalists in the comedy or musical category were Alexander Payne's road movie "Nebraska," which received five nominations in all, and the Coen brothers' folk music fable "Inside Llewyn Davis," which received three. "Captain Phillips" and "Gravity" each received four nominations.
For top dramatic pictures, the selections made by the HFPA's fewer than 100 voters were the historical drama "12 Years a Slave"; the Somali piracy thriller "Captain Phillips"; the 3-D space spectacle "Gravity"; "Philomena," about a mother's search for her son; and the car racing film "Rush."
One other movie that barely was finished in time — "Wolf of Wall Street," which had to postpone its release for more than a month from Nov. 15 because director Martin Scorsese was behind schedule — collected a nomination for star Leonardo DiCaprio in the comedy or musical actor race.
FULL COVERAGE: Golden Globes nominations 2014
He will compete against "American Hustle's" Christian Bale in the actor in a comedy or musical category, along with Bruce Dern from "Nebraska," Oscar Isaac for "Inside Llewyn Davis" and Joaquin Phoenix for "Her."
In addition to Chiwetel Ejiofor from "12 Years a Slave," the dramatic actor nominees were Idris Elba for "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," Tom Hanks for "Captain Phillips," Matthew McConaughey for "Dallas Buyers Club" and Robert Redford for "All Is Lost."
The Globe selections for dramatic actress were Cate Blanchett from "Blue Jasmine," Sandra Bullock in "Gravity," Emma Thompson from "Saving Mr. Banks," Judi Dench in "Philomena" and Kate Winslet in "Labor Day." The nominees for comedy or musical actress were Amy Adams for "American Hustle," Julie Delpy for "Before Midnight," Greta Gerwig for "Frances Ha," Julia Louis-Dreyfus for "Enough Said" and Meryl Streep for "August: Osage County."
In a setback for "Saving Mr. Banks," Thompson received the film's only nomination, and "Lee Daniels' The Butler" was ignored completely, including a snub for costar Oprah Winfrey. "August: Osage County" received two acting honors but nothing else. Both "Lee Daniels' The Butler" and "August: Osage County" had fared well with SAG the day before, earning nominations in the cast category along with nominations for Winfrey and other cast members.
BALLOT: Cast your Golden Globe Awards vote
Despite the "American Hustle" surge, "12 Years a Slave," along with "Gravity," remains a leading candidate for the Academy Awards. Alone with "American Hustle," it was the only one of the 10 movies up for a Golden Globe best picture that also collected a SAG nomination for ensemble, the acting union's equivalent of the best picture category.
Asked to explain how the film remains so prominent in the conversation — "12 Years a Slave" opened nearly two months ago, on Oct. 18 — producer Dede Gardner said, "You hearken back to the original reason we made it in the first place: the staying power of narrative and character."
The Golden Globes will be presented on Jan. 12.

Find out how we produce our information
Cisplatin and topotecan is a chemotherapy treatment used to treat cervical and ovarian cancers.
This information should ideally be read with our general information about chemotherapy and the type of cancer you have.
The drugs used in this treatment are:
You usually have cisplatin and topotecan in the chemotherapy day unit or during a short stay in hospital. A chemotherapy nurse will give it to you. During treatment, you usually see a cancer doctor, a chemotherapy nurse or a specialist nurse. This is who we mean when we mention doctor or nurse in this information.
Before or on the day of treatment, a nurse or person trained to take blood (phlebotomist) will take a blood sample from you. This is to check that it is okay for you to have chemotherapy.
You will also see a doctor or nurse before you have chemotherapy. They will ask you how you have been. If your blood results are alright on the day of the treatment, the pharmacist will prepare your chemotherapy. Your nurse will tell you when your treatment is likely to be ready.
Your nurse will give you anti-sickness (anti-emetic) drugs, and sometimes a steroid, as an injection into a vein or as tablets. They give you the drugs and chemotherapy through one of the following:
Your nurse will give you topotecan (a colourless fluid) as a drip (infusion) for 30 minutes. After this, they will give you cisplatin as a drip over a longer period of time. They usually run the drip through a pump, which gives you the treatment over a set time. You'll have extra fluids through your drip before and after the cisplatin. This is to protect your kidneys.
Some people might have side effects while they are having the chemotherapy.
Rarely, CT may cause an allergic reaction while it's being given. Your nurse will check you for this. If you have a reaction, they will treat it quickly. Signs of a reaction can include:
Tell your nurse straight away if you have any of these symptoms.
You will have chemotherapy as a course of several sessions (cycles) of treatment over a few months. Each cycle of cisplatin and topotecan takes 21 days (three weeks). CT can be given in different ways. Your doctor or nurse will be able to give you details of your treatment course.
At the end of the 21 days, you start your second cycle of treatment. This is exactly the same as the first cycle. Your doctor or nurse will tell you the number of cycles you are likely to have.
Before you go home, the nurse or pharmacist will give you anti-sickness drugs to take. They may also give you anti-diarrhoea tablets if you need them. Take all your tablets exactly as your nurse or pharmacist has explained.
We explain the most common side effects of CT here. But we don't include all the rare ones that are unlikely to affect you.
You may get some of the side effects we mention, but you are very unlikely to get all of them. Always tell your doctor or nurse about the side effects you have.
Your doctor can prescribe drugs to help control some of these. It is very important to take the drugs exactly as your nurse or pharmacist has explained. This means they will be more likely to work better for you. Your nurse will give you advice about managing your side effects. After your treatment is over, the side effects will start to improve.
Sometimes cancer drugs can result in very serious side effects, which rarely may be life-threatening. Your cancer doctor and nurse can explain the risk of these side effects to you.
Your nurse will give you telephone numbers for the hospital. You can call them if you feel unwell or need advice at any time of the day or night. Save these numbers in your phone or keep them somewhere safe.
We're not able to list every side effect for this treatment here, particularly the rarer ones. For more detailed information you can visit the electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC).
CT can reduce the number of white blood cells in your blood. This will make you more likely to get an infection. When the number of white blood cells is low, it's called neutropenia.
Contact the hospital straight away on the contact number you've been given if:
The number of white blood cells usually increases steadily and returns to normal before your next treatment. You will have a blood test before having more chemotherapy. If your number of white blood cells is still low, your doctor may delay your treatment for a short time.
CT can reduce the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets are cells that help the blood to clot. Tell your doctor if you have any bruising or bleeding you can't explain. This includes nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood spots or rashes on the skin. Some people may need a drip to give them extra platelets.
CT can reduce the number of red blood cells in your blood. These cells carry oxygen around the body. If the number of red blood cells is low, you may be tired and breathless. Tell your doctor or nurse if you feel like this. If you are very anaemic, you may need a drip to give you extra red blood cells (blood transfusion).
This may happen in the first few days after chemotherapy. Your doctor will prescribe anti-sickness (anti-emetic) drugs to help prevent or control sickness. Take the drugs exactly as your nurse or pharmacist explains to you. It's easier to prevent sickness than to treat it after it has started.
If you still feel sick or are vomiting, contact the hospital as soon as possible. They can give you advice and change the anti-sickness drug to one that works better for you.
You may get a bitter or metallic taste in your mouth or find that food tastes different. This should go away when your treatment finishes. Try using herbs and spices (unless you have a sore mouth or ulcers) or strong-flavoured sauces to give your food more flavour. Sucking boiled sweets can sometimes help get rid of a bitter or metallic taste. Your nurse can give you more advice.
You may lose your appetite during your treatment. Try to eat small meals regularly. Don't worry if you don't eat much for a day or two. If your appetite doesn't improve after a few days, let your nurse or dietitian know. They can give you advice on getting more calories and protein in your diet. They may give you food supplements or meal replacement drinks to try. Your doctor can prescribe some of these and you can buy them from chemists.
Your hair will thin or you may lose all the hair from your head. This usually starts after your first or second cycle of chemotherapy. It is almost always temporary and your hair will grow back after chemotherapy ends. It is important to cover your head to protect your scalp when you are out in the sun. Your nurse can give you advice about coping with hair loss.
Feeling very tired is a common side effect. It's often worse towards the end of treatment and for some weeks after it's finished. Try to pace yourself and get as much rest as you need. It helps to balance this with some gentle exercise, such as short walks. If you feel sleepy, don't drive or operate machinery.
Cisplatin can affect how your kidneys work. You will have blood tests before and during treatment to check this. You'll have extra fluids through a drip before and after chemotherapy. This is to protect your kidneys. Your nurse will ask you to drink plenty of fluid. Tell them if there are any changes in how much urine you are producing.
These symptoms are caused by the effect of cisplatin on the nerves. It's called peripheral neuropathy. You may also find it hard to fasten buttons or do other fiddly tasks.
Tell your doctor if you have these symptoms. They sometimes need to lower the dose of the drug. The symptoms usually improve slowly after treatment finishes, but in some people they may never go away. Talk to your doctor if you are worried about this.
Cisplatin can affect your hearing. You may have a hearing test before you start treatment. You may get ringing in your ears (tinnitus) and lose the ability to hear some high-pitched sounds. Tinnitus usually gets better after treatment ends. Some hearing changes can be permanent. Tell your doctor if you notice any changes in your hearing.
Your mouth may become sore and you may get ulcers. This can make you more likely to get an infection in your mouth. Gently clean your teeth or dentures every morning and night and after meals. Use a soft-bristled or children's toothbrush. Your nurse might ask you to rinse your mouth regularly or use mouthwashes. It's important to follow any advice you are given and to drink plenty of fluids.
Tell your nurse or doctor if you have any problems with your mouth. They can prescribe medicines to prevent or treat mouth infections and reduce any soreness.
Your doctor can prescribe drugs to control diarrhoea. Let them know if it is severe or if it doesn't get better. Make sure you drink at least two litres (three and a half pints) of fluid every day if you have diarrhoea.
It's important to let your doctor know straight away if you feel unwell or have any severe side effects, even if they're not mentioned above.
Cancer increases the chance of a blood clot (thrombosis) and chemotherapy can add to this. A clot can cause symptoms such as:
Contact your doctor straight away if you have any of these symptoms. A blood clot is serious but your doctor can treat it with drugs that thin the blood. Your doctor or nurse can give you more information.
Some medicines can interact with chemotherapy or be harmful when you are having chemotherapy. This includes medicines you can buy in a shop or chemist. Tell your doctor about any medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, complementary therapies and herbal drugs.
Cisplatin and topotecan may affect your fertility (being able to get pregnant). If you are worried about this, you can talk to your doctor or nurse before treatment starts.
Your doctor will advise you not to become pregnant during treatment. This is because the drugs may harm a developing baby. It's important to use effective contraception during and for a few months after chemotherapy. You can talk to your doctor or nurse about this.
If you have sex within the first couple of days of having chemotherapy, you need to use a condom. This is to protect your partner in case there is any chemotherapy in your vaginal fluid.
Chemotherapy can sometimes stop the ovaries working. You may not get a period every month and they may eventually stop. In some women this is temporary, but for others it is permanent and they start the menopause.
Women are advised not to breastfeed during treatment and for a few months after. This is in case there is chemotherapy in their breast milk.
If you need to go into hospital for any reason other than cancer, always tell the doctors and nurses that you are having chemotherapy. Give them contact details for your cancer doctor. Talk to your cancer doctor or nurse if you think you need dental treatment. Always tell your dentist you are having chemotherapy.

ServerWatch writes about the slow but sure death of UNIX by the onslaught of Linux and customers moving from older proprietary UNIX systems to commercially supported open source enterprise Linux distributions. "Linux does have one killer feature that is driving the switch: lower cost. Many companies are discovering Linux to be extremely attractive from a cost perspective. Take the experience of Sabre, a travel company that replaced Solaris with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) running on x86 machines, resulting in lowering costs 90 percent (with a three-fold speed gain to boot). These potential cost savings, which include hardware maintenance costs savings, are not to sniffed at."

Friday we attended a truly fun 40th birthday party for my friend Marc, who is in my local tasting group. Marc is Belgian, his wife Annabelle is French, the crowd was about evenly European and American. Annabelle and the kids had done a great job- decor was great, food delightful, and group was fun. People brought lots of wine, and I did my best to taste most of them:
NV Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Champagne
I used to like this producer (co-op?), but it seems to bore me almost every time I try now. This was empty and forgettable, just apple fruit and not-so-fine mousse, and a short finish. B-
NV "Cuvee Lancel" Lucas Carton Champagne
I actually have a bottle of this (gift from same one who brought to Marc's). Not sure if this is the same Lucas Carton Champagne (from the restaurant) that Sherry-Lehmann is always pushing? Surprisingly good, with a lot of body and texture, bready yeastiness, good finish. A little coarser than my preference, but pretty good. B+
NV Laurent-Perrier Brut Champagne
This lighter style is really more my thing, especially as an apertif, though I'd put them on the same quality level. Delicate, sprightly, tasty. B+
2001 Michel Lafarge BourgogneOne of the wines I brought along. A little too much acidity even for me, and some tannins sticking out. Good cherry fruit with some air, a bit of forest floor. I've liked this better before, but credible effort for vintage in CdB. B/B-
2003 Los Vascos Reserve (Colchagua)
Good cassis fruit, some vanilla/toast notes over the top. Ripe easy tannins, a crowd-pleaser if not especially distinctive. The more I tried the less I liked as it seemed sweeter and sweeter. B/B-
2004 Morgan Cotes du Crows (monterey)
This was a shocker, because of my assumptions. The only reds I had ever seen from Morgan were Pinot Noir, and I apparently projected that rather than look at label - I take a sip expecting Pinot. Overripe raspberry and blackberry fruit slaps me around a bit. Trying to readjust my expectations, I guess this is ok as an example of CA syrah/grenache or a supermodern CdR. Just not my style. B-/C+
2005 Berger Gruner Veltliner
We're having fun with a liter bottle! Herbs and limestone/chalk over a nice crisp not-very-fruity core. At $9 a liter a very good deal. B wine, A- value.
2000 Le Crock (St Estephe)
I kind of groaned when I saw this, having been a bit bored by the 1996 on several occasions. But this is surprisingly good- broad black fruit, round tannins, low acid. Not an poster-wine for complexity, but nice Bordeaux earthiness, and I'm sorry I passed this up at something like $12-14 at release. B
1966 Ducru-Beaucaillou (St Julien)
At some point between the soup and salads and the tagine main course, our little wine group dragged Mark into the kitchen. We have chipped in on a bottle of 1966 LLC as a present, and those of us at party (all but Alex who was in Paris) chipped in on 1966 Ducru for the party (I missed out on a Montrose mag by minutes-damn!). HS fill, cork saturated but intact. A little muted at first, but opens quickly. Mature, maybe a tad past peak, but nice round dark fruit framed by cigarbox and a slightly exotic spiciness. Nice wine with not such a great rep, very happy with result. A-/B+
(note: so here's the problem with opening special 750s at a big party. We opened, gave each of the 6 tasting group members small pours- 2 oz tops- maybe 3 for Marc. We had agreed we'd then pass out the remaining 10 oz or so to other party-goers who might be interested as small samples- maybe 1 oz. Annabelle's dad was very appreciative, but next woman said "what- you have more than this!" I just responded that those that PAID got a bit bigger- we were trying to see as many others as possible got pours. She glared at me for rest of party).
2002 Woodward Canyon Artist Series (#11) Cabernet Sauvignon
Lots of chocolatey oak, big blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Some Europhilic Europeans are surprised at how much they like it. Some real depth and concentration for what I think is a more base level bottling. B+
2004 St. Cosme "Les Deux Albion" Cotes du Rhone
I find this oaky, overmodern, overripe. I always like the St Cosme basic CdR better than this bottling, and this night is no exception. B-
NV Charbaut Brut Champagne
I admit I tasted this late in evening after a lot of reds, and am less confident of my impressions than the other bubblies. A middle of the road style, but definite yeast/parker house roll notes and ok finish. B
Great night with (mostly) great people. Betsy had a rare weekend night off, and after making a chopped salad helped Annabelle in the kitchen for a while. Then after some socializing she did the grace (singing a Sufi prayer from her CD, we're having the release party at Marc & Annabelle's cool modern house) and split to go to bed. I left hours later and walked the couple miles home. But I walked with a buzz not just from the alcohol, but from a great night with friends.
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

It was the middle of the night. Or day. Or whatever that fog of time is called when your jet-lagged family is in-between flights at an airport in Paris, on the other side of the world.
We had an extra hour and we were on a mission to find Chapstick for our windburned lips. We stumbled into one of those airport stores that has everything from duty free cigarettes to luggage and split up to start our search. My husband walked one way, but I thought I spotted the familiar red and white tubes and headed the other with my little one following behind me. The label was in French and I wasn't sure if I'd found what I was looking for and turned to look for an English speaking attendant.
That's when I saw my two older kids. My teen daughter had a shocked look on her face and was just turning to look for me. I heard her say her brother's name sharply after she noticed what he was staring at and his head snapped up just as I walked towards them. He looked at me. "Mom?" he said confused. I looked at the row of magazines in front of him and realized my son was standing in front of a half dozen magazine covers in the center of the store. Pornography.
It was Europe after all.
"I didn't mean to look," he said. "I just…'
"It's okay, son. Looking once is unavoidable. It's what we do after that first look that matters."
Everything is filtered in our home: we have protected Internet, our Netflix account has a parental password, we opted in addition security on Google images, and Net Nanny on our phones.
We aren't paranoid, we are proactive. Plus we are highly sensitive to this topic since it nearly destroyed our marriage nearly ten years ago.
We are also prepared. We talk about the dangers online. We have a stack of books we're working our way through from living in purity to fighting lust. We are open about what our kids are exposed to from peers.
Protecting our children from our sexually-charged culture is something we work hard at. And in one unavoidable moment, it happened. My sixth grade son saw pornography right in front of me.
And that's when I realized something gravely important: It's impossible to filter the entire world. I can't do it forever. It's not realistic or even my job. Instead I have to equip my kids.
You can't turn on the TV during a half-time football game and escape breasts and tiny shorts or checkout at a grocery store and miss Miley Cyrus hanging nude from a wrecking ball. My kids don't have smart phones to receive sext messages or view explicit images online, but friends at church and school do. And really, we're all just one click away from something we can't un-see.
The most important thing we can teach our kids is self control. Because let's face it: no matter how well we parent, our kids are going to be tempted. It goes with being human. Self-control is the ability to control our emotions, abilities and desires. It's the power to stop spending money we don't have, to tell our kids no when entitlement rears it's ugly head. It's exactly what we need to teach our kids to stop eyes from looking the second time.
Without self-control, we are absolutely defenseless against sin. "A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls." Proverbs 25:28. When the word self-control is used in the Bible it describes a person who is willing to get a grip on their lives and take control.
Self-control is the key to living in our sex-crazed world without giving into it's lustful appeal. And as hard as it is to accept, our kiddos are sexual creatures and at some point in their lives, it will appeal to them. That's why we can't wait. Here are three things we can do to help our kids (and ourselves) exercise self-control in their lives:
- Model it. Our kids are watching us and we are their example. And when you blow it, apologize and try again.
- Ask God for it. Self-control is a gift from God. The more we get work on our relationship with Him, the more empowered He makes us.
- Teach it. It's easy to feel unprepared. Don't be afraid to rely on solid resources like Passport2Purity; Preparing Your Son for Every Man's Battle; Preparing Your Daughter for Every Woman's Battle; Sex Is Not the Problem (Lust Is): Sexual Purity in a Lust-Saturated World
My husband pulled my son close as we paid for the Chapstick and walked towards our gate. "Whenever you see something like that, look away immediately. Bounce your eyes and try really hard not to look again. You might be tempted to look again, but ask God to help you have self control not to."
I'll never forget that day in the airport on that cold day in December. But instead of remembering it as a day of failure, I see it as a day of opportunity to teach my kids the importance of self-control and second chances.
*Updated to add* If you're not a regular reader here you might read this post out of context with the way we live our lives for God (and what I've written for years). While I'm encouraging parents to teach self control and fleeing sin to their kids, that's only part of it. It's mostly about pursuing Jesus and showing our kids how satisfying it is to have a relationship with him. The closer we are to God, the less we want the things of this world. That's the foundation we base our lives on.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – George Zimmerman has filed a countersuit against his wife in their on-going divorce proceeding.
He also is asking a judge to set aside a judgment in favor of his wife that the court awarded because he didn't answer her lawsuit.
Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce in September and served him with papers while he was in jail on a since-dropped domestic violence case involving a former girlfriend. He says the papers became lost in jail and he was unable to respond until now.
The countersuit asks that any personal property distribution be decided by the court, and that he and Shellie Zimmerman share in any debt incurred during their marriage.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted last year in the 2012 shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

Seeking your help.
Greetings people, I've been watching anime now for some years and come over several animes that I've loved. Now I'm starting too feel that, even tho I have some animes that I follow currently, it's always this way that you finish all those new episodes for the week withing a day or two, depending on when the episodes are released. So now I'm on the hutn for a new anime series that will give me something to do for awhile. Those animes I've watched have been of the genres; Action, Fantasy, Adventure, Comedy, magic, Martial arts and some love. hat don't mean I fear other genres as sub-genres, I just want them to stay there deep down , maybe show them selfs once in a while when I'm tired, hehe. Well basically I want a new anime series that consist of most of these genres, I'd prefer if it was rather new series (good animated), That it don't have this "old look" the shady look that make it almost look like your reading it from a manga book. I'd also prefer if the comedy was a rather big part of it. I guess people have asked for this before, but I realy put some time into it and looked in the threads for something similar, so please don't scold me if there is one or more... Here will follow a list of animes I like and still remember( baaaad memory xD);
Rurouni Kenshin
Fullmetal Alchemist
Black cat
Trinity blood
Fate//stay night
Scrapped princess
Hunter X Hunter
One Piece
Black blood brothers
Busou renkin
Marchen awakens romance(MÄR)
Wolfs rain
Hmm those are the ones I can remember at the time. At least those I felt that would contribute to the sort of anime I like, hehe. And yes I've seen Naruto so no need to give that as an suggestion .. really hope someone can give me something I like. A big hug and cookies to you all in advance

You make it sound like i committed an act of heroism or something About Utawarerumono - it is good. Definitely watch it. The description seemed "meh" to me as well, and it took me a good while before i picked it up... i wish i had done so sooner (On the bright side - i got to see it when it was finished, so i didn't have to pull my hair out while waiting for the next ep)
If you are up for something deeper and darker - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is a very good horror/mystery anime. My 2nd favorite anime if that counts for anything
For sort of mystery/drama/a bit of romance and ungodly animation watch the currently ongoing Kanon.
Add Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase for some comedy/drama/bit of romance.

I am sure you are bound to meet a lot of these type of "heroes" around here
Get Backers... nop, have not seen that one yet.... and my "must watch" anime list is pretty big as it is (23 animes on it ). Hm... it has comedy listed as one of its main genres, and as i said - that is not exactly floating my boat As for my no1 - Crest of the Stars and its sequels.
Oh, and i completely forgot to add this one - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. This is one of the rare cases when i enjoy the comedy (which comes in heavy doses of sarcasm in this particular case), and the animation is top stuff as well. Just make sure you watch past ep1, which might seem completely WTFish when you watch the show for the 1st time

Anna Friel feared film ageing
- Bang Showbiz
- 20 April 2013
Anna Friel was terrified she'd look old forever because of the prostethics used in 'The Look of Love'
Anna Friel was terrified she'd look old forever after filming 'The Look of Love'.
The 36-year-old actress portrays Jean Raymond - the wife of porn baron Paul Raymond - in the biopic and because the film shows the character from the ages of 22 and 58, Anna had to spend several hours in make-up every day, and was concerned the effects would be lasting.
She said: "They used a technique called stippling to make me look older. It glues all of the creases around your eyes together and it takes hours for it to go back to normal.
"I would age years in a day and think it was going to stay that way forever."
Despite her fears, Anna enjoyed the role, particularly because of her wardrobe - even if it was a source of amusement to Steve Coogan, who plays her on-screen spouse.
She added to Grazia magazine: "I loved my outfits. I loved the 70s costumes because I really like that whole Jane Berkin look.
"In one scene I went blonde so I wore a wig. We modeled the look on Marilyn Monroe, which was fine until Steve told me I looked like Moors murderer Myra Hindley. Steve looked great in costume though, it's funny seeing him in anything."

I often eavesdrop to random voices roaming in the air. Some leave bruises on my eyelids due to the frequent wiping of tears. They have a saddening picture. Others stimulate endless smiles. Some would like to remain unidentified. All in all, I love to narrate stories of the sad, happy and mysterious voices.
