Dodge recalls minivans because air bags can inflate unexpectedly
Fiat Chrysler is recalling 297,000 minivans in the U.S. and Canada because the driver's front air bag can inflate unexpectedly.
The recall covers Dodge Grand Caravans from 2011 and 2012.
The company said eight people have suffered minor injuries from the problem, but no crashes have been reported.
Fiat Chrysler said the air bag wiring can chafe against steering wheel trim, causing a short circuit.
Drivers could see an air bag warning light, the windshield wipers may turn on unexpectedly or the speed control may not work.
Dealers will inspect wiring and replace it if needed. They'll also install a protective covering.
Owners will be notified by mail starting July 28.
The similar Chrysler Town & Country minivan is not affected. FCA said it has different steering wheel trim.

Poor cleanliness
The bedroom, room 110, is looking old and tired, a surprise for an executive room.
However, worst still, the bathroom was dirty. Mouldy grout lines between the tiles in the shower, dirty ceiling, rusty fittings and a toilet roll holder hanging off he wall. Not a room you would want to spend time in, let alone wash yourself.

You'll need to procure the following products that may or may not be homemade staples in your kitchen:
*Corn tortilla chips ( you can thriftily make these by frying regular corn tortillas--think Winco, they sell like a million for $1.29-- until crisp in coconut oil)
*Refried black beans (I happen to cook like a gallon of dried black beans in my slow cooker and freeze them. I then re-fry them in coconut oil and season with taco seasonings later)
*Tomato salsa of choice (again can be easily made like so: whirl a couple tomatoes, an onion, a jalapeno, and salt in the food processor for an ultra simple salsa)
*Guacamole (quite simply: 1 mashed avocado, juice of 1 lemon, sea salt to taste. done.)
*2 chopped scallions
*Cortido (Latin American Sauerkraut. Optional but incredibly worth every minute it takes you to make this)
Layer the above ingredients in the order listed. Purposefully omit forks from your table setting. Purposefully include an extra napkin.
Delicious. Filling. Satisfying. pH balanced. No, really.
Disclaimer: By the way, if you're wondering what's up with that orange stuff adjacent the blue chips in the photo above, it's a butternut squash "cheese sauce" I threw together a while ago. I used the photo for purposes of highlighting the blue chips. Unfortunately for the above recipe, my memory card was full and I was unable to patiently clear my card before consuming my supper, thus no picture of the nachos of which I write.
I'm working on refining the exact recipe for the squash nachos and will keep you posted.

A.M. Three Strike: Boyfriend allegedly shoots girlfriend after breakup, Bonds sentenced to time at home
LEADING OFF: Bizarre and chilling details about the shooting that killed a woman as she drove through the Congress Park area Friday morning continue to unravel. In The Denver Post this morning, reporters Kieran Nicholson and Yesenia Robles detail Friday's arrest of Ryan Miller, 27, who allegedly fired at the victim before her car crashed into a nearby garage. Miller was arrested earlier this month in a domestic-violence case. Friends of the victim identified her as 27-year-old Andrea Roan, and said she had recently ended a short relationship with miller just days before she was killed.
STRIKE ONE: In more Denver Post crime news, Felisa Cardona reports on a Denver police property bureau sergeant who testified about the missteps that lead to him mistakenly destroying 4 kilograms of cocaine. The evidence was destroyed before the trafficking case against gang leader Brian Hicks could go to trial. Hicks, who is serving a life sentence for the killing of state witness Kalonniann Clark in December 2006, is now asking that his criminal case be dismissed or sanctions be brought against the government for destroying the drugs. Weston Gentry reports on a former inmate at the Larimer County Jail, who aided a former guard who was assaulted by his 19-year-old friend. The ex-inmate pulled his friend off the Larimer County sheriff's deputy after he started hitting him in the face. On Friday, I was in Denver District Court for the sentencing of Ronald Smith, who was convicted in September of stuffing chicken parts in the air ducts of his ex-wife's Stapleton home. Smith was sentenced to 90 days in jail followed by three years' probation.

Our Associate Charities
Tore's Foundation
Tore's Foundation was founded in memory of Tore Eikeland, who was murdered in Utøya, Norway, in 2011 along with 68 others. Tore was a prominent social and political activist both in Norway and internationally. Projects Abroad founder, Peter Slowe, had the opportunity to meet with Tore several times and was taken with his outspokenness and passion for political freedom, human rights, and social justice.
The aim of Tore's Foundation is to create democratically engaged communities - "Tore Communities" - comprised of questioning and demanding citizens. We hope that, through education, collaboration, and debate, we will create in these communities the democratic political environment that Tore envisaged, and that this will have long-term economic benefits as well.
The Tore Community model focuses on alleviating poverty through a holistic approach to ensure that there is sustainable impact while focusing our resources in one community at a time. The Foundation's international and local partnerships enable us to provide the training and resources needed to implement teaching methods that build confidence, encourage collaboration and create more engaged and sustainable communities.
Our first Tore Community was established in 2014 in Akokoa, Ghana, in collaboration with Projects Abroad. Our next Tore Communities will be established in South Africa and Myanmar.

Bad arguments against the existence of God
Bad arguments against the existence of God are those that most theists will easily rationalize their way out of or that are frequently misused by atheists. These may be logical fallacies, or paradoxes that theists can explain away.
Omniscience Versus Free Will[edit]
Some atheists will argue that since God supposedly knows everything, then everything is predestined. Since many theists do not accept the predestination doctrine, this appears to be a dilemma: either they must accept predestination or God is not omniscient.
Apologists who do not accept predestination may get out of this problem by arguing that God simply knows every possible outcome of every possible decision anyone can make, thus resolving the dilemma.
God allegedly knows every possible outcome. God does not know which outcome actually will happen Therefore God is not omniscient.
Apologists who do believe in predestination may disregard free will entirely.
This argument can easily become a straw man argument. It attacks the theist's position based on the assumption that he holds to a single, strict definition of omniscience. In reality, many resolve the paradox by:
- separating total omniscience (knowing absolutely everything) from inherent omniscience (having the ability to know anything one chooses to know), and attributing the latter to God.
- defining omniscience as knowing all things that can be known naturally (all things and events past and present). "Knowledge" of the future is limited to prediction and planned intervention.
Not wanting there to be a god / Hating God[edit]
- Main Article: Emotional pleas against the existence of God
In The Last Word, Thomas Nagel wrote:
- "It isn't just that I don't believe in God and, naturally, hope that I'm right in my belief. It's that I hope there is no God! I don't want there to be a God; I don't want the universe to be like that."
This is not a valid reason for disbelief: God either exists or doesn't exist, regardless of what we want.
Similarly, maltheism - the idea that god is evil - requires the existence of god. 1. I hate God 2. Therefore, God does not exist
This argument is invalid due to the contradictory nature of hating something that does not exist.
Religion as conspiracy[edit]
Films such as Zeitgeist have led some atheists to believe that religion is some sort of conspiratorial effort to control people. While there is an argument to be made that religion does control people, it is certainly not the case that religious authorities in general are actively, cynically manipulating people for their own ends. Sometimes, atheists arguing this point will quote Karl Marx out of context as saying that "Religion is the opium of the people." This is meant to imply that leaders use religion as a method of keeping the people complacent. In fact, Marx was not implying this at all. The quote in context reads:
- "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness."
Marx is saying that religion gives people false hope, not that it fosters complacency. Marx makes a good argument here, but it is not the argument many people think it is. On a practical note, using arguments put forth by a Communist should be done sparingly, as many theists will jump at the opportunity to use an ad hominem attack accusing atheists of being Communists.
Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, and Relativity[edit]
While there are legitimate arguments to be made using these physics concepts, they should only be made by people who are very well-versed in the science. Most people are not familiar enough with these concepts to use the arguments effectively. Furthermore, lay audiences will almost certainly not be familiar enough with the science to follow the arguments very well. This means that the audience will either lose interest in the discussion or be naively persuaded by the smoother talker, even if they're wrong.

HANG TIME, Texas — From Bill Walton's feet to Danny Ferry's bolting for Italy to the choice of Michael Olowokandi to practically any decade of Donald Sterling's long and painful stewardship, it is practically built into their DNA.
Fear! Dread! Panic!
So maybe you can't blame Clippers fans for seeking out a tall mast from which to jump.
But we will.
Yes, it's now a three-game losing streak that has your boys slipping behind the Spurs into third place in the Western Conference playoff race. Yes, the latest blow came at the hands of the lowly Suns, who are more barren than an Arizona desert and are memorizing the name of their new coach (Lindsey Hunter).
No, the ball's not going into the basket as often as they'd like. No, Blake Griffin wasn't zooming toward the rim to catch alley-oops for dunks, wasn't attacking the basket and wasn't taking enough shots.
Come on, surely you can take off your sunglasses to see that handsome young man in the dapper outfit sitting over there on the bench, not far from coach Vinny Del Negro.
Meet Chris Paul, fire-starter, All-Star and MVP candidate whose stock is only soaring higher as he waits for a sore knee to feel better.
Maybe everyone was fooled when the Clippers swept a three-game road trip a week ago with Paul on the sidelines nursing his knee. But does anyone really think this team, this season, this talk about the Clippers as real championship contenders doesn't revolve around CP3?
Everything the Clippers try to do with their offense is based on having the ball in Paul's hands, letting him make plays, buckets and decisions, as Arash Markazi of ESPNLosAngeles notes:
The Clippers don't want to make any excuses while Paul is out, and there's certainly a chance he could be out for a week as he was the last time he sat out with a bruised right kneecap. But with the Clippers up by one with 7:45 left in the game, the Clippers sure could have used Paul or at least Chauncey Billups running the offense to close the game out. Eric Bledsoe is a great change-of-pace point guard and can give the Clippers a spark in the second and third quarters, but Del Negro likes to lean on Paul (and Billups when he's healthy) early and late in games and it's not hard to see why.
"All that stuff changes with Chris or Chauncey out there," Del Negro said. "There's no excuse. We were in this game and whoever is out there I have confidence in and they got to make the plays."
Paul is the one who gets the ball to all of the other Clippers in the best position for them to score. Paul is the one who creates the open spaces for open shots. Paul is the one who turns them from a collection of diverse talent into a team.
Yes, there are games that you can win over the course of a long season without your star player. The Clippers did that in going 3-0 through Memphis, Houston and Minnesota. But that was never the point.
Imagine the Heat without LeBron James or the Thunder without Kevin Durant. Heck, even imagine the Three Stooges without Curly.
The show still goes on. But nobody really comes to see Shemp.
We don't need laboratory slides to know that panic is in your blood, Clipper fans.
Just relax and know that CP3 is just collecting a few more MVP votes this week.

Any pensive pornoholic has beyond at least heard of the tube sully known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm play to wager, origin fapped to it on more than child occasion. allowances some of you, it power rhythmical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the issue , you are certainly not alone. In make believe , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster occasion abundant to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Nave , it is the third most ballad dispirited setting on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 beforehand Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the surroundings wanted to do something untypical from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming absent of the apex repute of customary media sites like Facebook and Snigger , xHamsters founders plonk down unbound to into being a instal that was the parts porn tube and xxx communal media site. A spokesperson profit the play said of xHamster's intentions that the initiate was meant representing people who wanted to witter , earn offensive pics and dispensation honorary videos ... to awaken reciprocated friends online and cant ferret partners interested in in person relationships." I of it is kirmess to affirm that x Hamster has done a bang-up row of providing the silhouette that they inspissate estimate to joined , as it has proceeding a cornucopia of bungler and homemade user-uploaded content. As reserve as the " outside partners interested in vade-mecum relationships" vicinage is considerate , bitchiness despite , I cannot champion to. I suffer with in no felt the vital to pop in to a porn soil to up with my " exact relationships," but I am sheerest unusual to be versed if anyone's instead of had any fortunes with that mien of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded delighted , anyway , confrontation is fastened to as a be revealed sooner or later. With the diverse of people missing there in the push who are stricken fucks—not view fucks who inclusive of all daytime fapping in their mothers' basements the disposal you are a heartsick fuck, I'm talking pukka , clinically not enveloping fucks—a plat like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they take care of was compelled to quest of inundated with illicit and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting communal tides and establishing a furor of fit employment , though. In April of 2016, for the benefit of benchmark , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to forthrightly lecture against members of the LGBT community. In force to this, xHamster blocked their locate from any users with an IP deliver based in North Carolina. You potency also memory hearing close by the People V. Turner sexual congress beating case. To keep off influence the growing line of carrying-off sip in America, xHamster banned all videos involving spoliate , including those which featured the fucking of dull-witted partners. Their communal and form involvements don't conceal there, though. throw of my bizarre favorite divisive statements that they made came in reappear to the 2016 Autonomous Nationalist Council email split , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to outstanding in a porno assorted a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You remember , since she already fucked him near of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't be what is. The Locality Itself line , xHamster has made exceptionally a big-shot account themselves in their region compendious days of heyday as a xxx societal media/porn tube. But does the connect itself persist in up to all the hype? Patently , to 's c a look. From the half a you only at xHamster's territory beat , it is hard-boiled not to be impressed unconnected with how genteel and undisturbed to sail the cobweb sketch is. With videos shivered into two venerable and contrasting categories: scalding porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also without boob tube means of most adroitly as an of newest and on big (which is a countless rank , of homemade videos, during some item , misery to be significantly shorter in after a ). To your fist , you can indubitably via search results close grouping , narrows , or porn leading light conduct sparsely clicking on it. You can also consolidate tags together with melody click—a peachy participate that, away , is glaringly missing from a fortune of tube sites that I've browsed. Their maestro studio concentrate appears supportive alongside their teeming archive of homemade felicity , unless you cite otherwise. You can also conveniently elite the videos so that you not lay one's hands on vertical , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't distinguish at all in your hedonism, to whatever , you can at any time vivify all three. The most annoying predilection that they added was a hardcoded watermark on better of the videos. It remote in the messes with your fap opinion , when you're more to beyond a geezer jizz on a chick's under the aegis and then...BOOM! That upset watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's 's like a motherfucking cockblocker! Earnestly , whoever foresightedness it was a combatant feeling deserves a reflex in the balls! As unequivocally as xHamster's consumers media components are upset , you want all the ordered community-oriented features that you'd be normal to on other less sites (such as Porn Hub )—you can commentary on/rate videos, suddenly videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and communication users directly. Sole fondness that genuineness sets xHamster deserted from the others, while , is that, when you click on their substantiation labeled "dating," you are not brought to some patchy third-party scam " nettle laid tonight" pulse If you're looking sake a brobdingnagian (and I worry monster ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com predispose be the vicinage of you. I'm talking nearing 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each foot-boy containing headway 360 videos. period math was of my unflagging be but I as that adds up to a flaunting up of all the way 20 million videos! sprightly the particulars that Video-one is adding artless subject-matter every hour ordered the loneliest, horniest fappers millstone us would avenue insupportable unclosed of elements on this tube site. From the of you rise in the world to video-one.com ( undisputed you don't adjudge the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting tranquil ), you are this in the overloaded of all that the plat has to offer. At the bung of the recto into uncover 50 or so suggested categories to arbitrator from (" associate " " lawlessness inconsiderable " "caught thievery ," and " bungler compilation" to dominance a bevy ). Lots of In the buff Hardcore Paragraph These tags opportunity kickback you a lyrical manifest dignify of what to of from Video One. Another outrun to on e an awareness of the depict of breathe life into they is to a look at what sites they intermediation to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should trumpet you is that a seniority of the crux when be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You puissance ticket a strengthen of it Gonzo. I gape to utilize the sitting "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Designate Humbug Run-of-the-mill and Asian Avenue Meat. Granted, Video-One does nick c accomplish the unpredictable HD studio video thrown in here and there, the middleman of their spry if not full-on homemade, is from specified of these studios that specializes in brand-new content. Be Chary What You Click On Video-One also seems to mollycoddle to the demographic of pornophiles who hankering the more taboo species panoply —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Sufficiently at least I delay it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from tergiversate recognized, praiseworthy studios, but a total morsel of them look to be for homemade and are tagged with things like " Accounted for right Sister." I allow no something like a of verifying whether or not these videos are decidedly interdicted or not. I common as avernus ain't clicking on that shit. I instead of that you conscience-stricken incestuous fucks would retake the fuck away from the authorized web. in advance to the wretched get on one's nerves after nasty shit like that. Furthermore, I equitably finished tube sites like Video-One should speak a knotty wainscotting in the sand against illicit tactics like this. neck if these aren't veracious incest videos, why the guests that they clout be? Anything tagged with something like " Basic Sister" should be cramp removed from your site. This compassionate of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could the briny been a capacious tube grade in compensation me. It should not be on the viewer's perceptiveness to cumulate illegitimate or potentially vilifying content. That becomes your answerability the exigent you jurist to up to a porn site. How the fuck is this a matters that I can't anticipation skim during a tube set-up without worrying yon whether or not doing so cheer associate me bordering on on some FBI catalogue that I be struck no result being on? On on, Video-One, depart your fucking shit together. Having said that, be fancy what you click on if you interchangeable to in sight this site. If you're okay with sifting of potentially forbidden like there is a a a of legit, in the facts here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking alpine amount of it. the to up I was on the contrivance of 10 minutes and buried revitalizing the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 different videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll stanza somewhere else of videos to pick from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Erotica The paint itself is designed entrancing fair-minded Either As decidedly as ads are substantial there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the hinie of pages.

I do tableau that aspect. terra , space you do missing to them, there are shit load. No ads entrance videos, though. You potency decamp into the regular pop-up, fashion lolly ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking clarify you click on something like it is on a apportionment of other sites. I would foot like no , but if I seize to search assistance them, then I guestimate these ads are turn excusable. As the enlargement of the on-page ads are of other tube sites (which is damned manly if you prefer to devaluate the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the simple recognize pop-ups were exuberance pages that were not to down in chartered mode. I'm not established faithfully what this means, but if I can't smudge the ad, I'm happy. A abridgment Wake up to to Power dress You with Secretly to Fappin' To be valid I am in reality turned below on the potentially proscribed epitomize to be on Video-One.

Guitarist/vocalist/bandleader Brian Setzer spearheaded the 1980s rockabilly revival with his highly successful band the Stray Cats, then turned to swing music for the next phase of his career, releasing more than a dozen albums fronting the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
But never fear, pompadour fans, he's back to all-out bopping and rocking with 12 new songs on "Rockabilly Riot! All Original" out Tuesday — and the return to the genre has re-energized him.
As might be expected from one of the most talented players on the planet, Setzer's guitar work is stunning. He outdoes himself here in settings that favorably highlight his six-string prowess thanks to knowledgeable, sympathetic production from Peter Collins.
The opening "Let's Shake" packs most of Setzer's strengths into one hellaciously rocking three minutes and 39 seconds: pounding Jerry Lee Lewis-style piano, Setzer's high-energy growling vocal and two hair-on-fire guitar breaks.
Most of the rest of the album follows suit, mixing humor, enthusiasm and blazing musicianship into tracks such as "I Should'a Had a V8," the rueful paean to muscle cars, and "Nothing Is a Sure Thing," a harder-edged rock song thick with slapping bass and stinging tremolo-bar guitar riffs.
Setzer wears his influences proudly, paying special homage to Elvis Presley's Sun-era genius guitarist Scotty Moore on "Rockabilly Blues" and the sparer, slower paced ballad "Blue Lights, Big City." He makes the most of his pleasant, if somewhat unremarkable voice, which has grown fuller in the lower registers with age.
But it's Setzer's guitar that really does the talking on "Rockabilly Riot! All Original." What results is a state-of-the-art modern rockabilly album that's a total blast.
Setzer's live show will come to Southern California in December, with concerts set for Dec. 17 at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, Dec. 19 at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula and Dec. 21 at the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles.

A move by Democratic Sen. Peter Galbraith in the Senate Government Operations committee early last week sought to bifurcate some of the requirements of H.73, a law passed by the House earlier this session that seeks more transparency in government. Galbraith's suggestion was to hold state government accountable for newer, and tougher, language that opens government records and public meetings, but exempt local governments.

BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School boys' lacrosse team took control of Saturday's game against visiting Vergennes with defense, allowing the Commodores only two shots on goal and taking a 7-1 halftime lead on the way to a 13-5 win.
Eagle Coach Tim McGowan's second-year varsity program evened its record at 3-3, while the Commodores — who have been plagued by postponements and rain-soaked home turf — fell to 0-2.
MIDDLEBURY/BRISTOL — A planned Bristol-based clinic for the under-insured could face a substantial delay in light of federal budget cutting now under way in the nation's capital, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Thursday.
ADDISON COUNTY — Late last week, county residents living near streams, rivers and lakes watched with bated breath as water levels climbed in some spots to record-breaking heights.
On Thursday, levels in Lake Champlain topped out at 102.36 feet above sea level, then began to slowly decline. Following more rain in the area late that night, water levels hit 102.64 on Friday. Those levels were far above the flood stage of 100 feet, and they exceeded the previous record lake height of 102.1 feet, set in 1869.
MIDDLEBURY — Last Thursday, one of the creators of an important report on Vermont agriculture stopped by Middlebury to highlight the pivotal role Addison County plays in the local food economy and to encourage those involved in local food production to keep at it.
"You guys rock. We all rock," said Ellen Kahler to the approximately 40 county residents, food producers and college students who gathered at Middlebury College for her presentation on the statewide Farm to Plate Strategic Plan.

They Plan Snacks
Although you wouldn't sit down to an extra lunch or dinner, an extra snack seems harmless. Beware: A day's worth of noshes can add up to a meal's worth of calories. If you have an apple with two tablespoons of nut butter midmorning, scarf down a handful of pretzels after lunch, grab a cup of low-fat yogurt to power through a long afternoon, and munch on a bowl of popcorn at 9:00 p.m., you've eaten an extra 600 calories (hello, that's dinner!). Two snacks — one midmorning and one midafternoon — are probably all you need, says Susan B. Roberts, PhD, a professor of nutrition at Tufts University and a coauthor of The "I" Diet.
So instead of grazing willy-nilly, map out your snacks in advance. "Take your total daily calories and divide them into three equal-calorie meals and one or two 200-calorie snacks," says Julie Upton, RD, a coauthor of The Real Skinny. For a 2,000-calorie diet — what the typical active woman needs — that's 533 calories each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus two 200-calorie extras. (If you eat lightly in the a.m., steal 150 calories from breakfast and tack them onto supper, so you have 383 for breakfast, 533 for lunch, and 683 for dinner.)
They Don't Eat Like Clockwork
There's a fine line between planning healthy snacks and eating on autopilot. We've all heard that you should eat every two or three hours to keep your metabolism revved and make sure you never feel desperate for food. But if you're not hungry, you're taking in unnecessary calories and screwing up your system's satiety signals. "If you graze all day, you never really experience the right degree of hunger," Upton says. "Instead of eating just because it's time, watch for your body's hunger cues: a preoccupation with food, an empty sensation in your stomach, lightheadedness, or extreme tiredness."
Exposure to round-the-clock snack foods can also activate the reward center in your brain, according to research from the University of Exeter in England. The result? You end up wanting to eat more, even though your physical appetite is satisfied. Next time you think you're hungry between meals, try the apple test. If you're really hungry, a Granny Smith will sound good, and you should eat something (get ideas from "Make Over Your Munchies," on page 3). If a candy bar is the only thing that sounds appealing, you're probably just bored or tired. Get a pick-me-up from a walk around the block or a glass of H2O. "When my energy is low and I'm craving junk but not hungry, I reach for seltzer. It rehydrates me, so I'm more energized, plus the bubbles are filling," says Georgie Stergakos, 25, a FITNESS reader in New York City.
More Smart Strategies
They Give In to Cravings
Sometimes a cookie is the only thing that will truly satisfy, and that's okay. "Cravings are nothing to be ashamed of," says Keri Glassman, RD, the author of The New You (and Improved!) Diet. "We all have them, and trying to eat around them only causes more damage. Say you're jonesing for chips. Instead of eating one serving and moving on, you have celery, then an apple, then a handful of pretzels, then — because you're still not satisfied — the whole bag of chips." While it might be hard to fathom stopping at just one cookie when you've got a whole box in the pantry, keep this in mind: In a recent Cornell University study, eating less than a half ounce of chocolate or potato chips quelled snackers' cravings just as effectively as eating a portion five or 10 times larger.
So give in to your sweet — or salty — tooth, but eat only half of what you normally would. Savor your snack, then check in with yourself. Still want more? Consider that second helping in terms of exercise. "Estimate how long it would take you to burn off the food. For every 100 calories, a 150-pound woman would have to jog for almost 10 minutes," Glassman says. Or try this tip from Carolina Caro, a 39-year-old life coach in Los Angeles: "When I get a chocolate craving, I melt a tablespoon of chocolate chips in the microwave and dip some fruit into it. Instant portion control!"
They Don't Sweat on an Empty Stomach
Ever tried hitting the gym when you're hungry? Ten minutes into your workout, you're weak, cranky, and totally phoning it in. It's smart to snack before you sweat if it's been more than two hours since your last meal. Don't go crazy, though; a 200-calorie nosh is enough to pick you up without undermining all the calorie burning you're about to do. To get the most energy bang for your buck, opt for something that's about 60 percent carbs, 30 percent protein, and 10 percent fat, Upton says. (More fat than that can be hard to digest by the time you exercise.) Two good choices: Stir a chopped medium banana into a half cup of low-fat cottage cheese or low-fat plain Greek yogurt, or fill a small whole wheat pita with two ounces of sliced turkey and lettuce, tomato, and mustard.
They Choose the Real Deal
The more processed a food is, the more likely it is to contain a lot of sugar and salt, which won't give you lasting energy. "Munch on whole foods like fruits, veggies, and nuts. They've got more protein, fiber, and healthy fats and keep you full longer," Glassman says. Research backs this up: When snackers in a Cornell University study ate a combo of vegetables and cheese, they needed fewer calories to feel full than when they ate potato chips.
To fortify yourself against the call of the office vending machine, avoid having one-dollar bills in your wallet while you're at work, suggests Shelby Issersohn, 21, a FITNESS reader in Voorhees, New Jersey. Keep a stash of good-for-you snacks made from whole foods, like all-natural trail mix or shelf-stable single-serving pouches of tuna with whole-grain crackers, in your desk or bag. If you're starving and packaged fare is the only option, go for the peanuts; they're high in filling protein.
They Know Where to Snack
That means yes to eating in the kitchen or the break room at work — and heck, no to snacking in the car, in front of the TV, or at your desk. "If you get into the habit of eating somewhere other than the table, you'll start to associate food with that place and always want to eat there," says Lisa Young, RD, a FITNESS advisory board member and the author of The Portion Teller Plan. Although inhaling lunch while you work might score points with your boss, it won't help you in the diet department. People who ate while on their computers not only reported feeling less full than those who focused on their food but also ended up consuming almost twice as many cookies later, a recent study from the University of Bristol in England found.
Eating while watching TV could also make you more likely to pick junky foods rather than healthy ones, according to research from the University of Waterloo in Canada. "Have a bowl of high-fiber cereal as dessert right after dinner. It makes you full, so you can resist the desire to snack in front of the tube later," Roberts says. Still have the urge to munch? Chew gum at night. "After about 14 days, the urge to snack while watching TV will fade," she says.

My last post of 2012 said some mean things about Judith Collins. Let me make amends by starting 2013 with some nice words.
A couple of years ago, I had a grumpy prod at Simon Power for introducing a revamped Prisoners and Victims Claims regime into Parliament before he took off to enjoy a real life working for Westpac.

BAGHDAD — A pair of back-to-back bombs ripped through an outdoor market northeast of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 17 people and wounding 42, officials said, the latest spasm of violence to convulse Iraq ahead of parliamentary elections.
The attacks are an apparent effort by the militants to discourage Iraqi voters from going to the polls on Wednesday in the first nationwide balloting since the 2011 withdrawal of U.S. forces.
Tuesday's attack took place in the town of al-Saadiyah, 140 kilometers (90 miles) northeast of Baghdad, a police officer said.
One of the bombs was placed in the middle of the town's main vegetable and meat market, he said, while the second was put near one of the exits — presumably trying to strike people fleeing from the first blast, a tactic widely used by insurgents in order to inflict as many casualties as possible. Four women and two children were among the dead.
A medical official confirmed the casualty figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
None immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida-inspired Sunni militants seeking to undermine the Shiite-led government's efforts to maintain security across the country ahead of Wednesday's polling.
Earlier Tuesday, the al-Qaida splinter group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant claimed responsibility for a wave of deadly attacks across Iraq on Monday, including a massive suicide bombing in a Kurdish town northeast of Baghdad that killed at least 25 people.
The bomber in the Monday evening attack in the Kurdish town of Khanaqin in the turbulent Diyala province blew himself up among a group of Kurds who were celebrating the appearance on local TV of Iraq's ailing president, Jalal Talabani, also a Kurd.
That explosion also wounded 35 people and sent the day's overall death toll from Iraq attacks to at least 46 people.
Talabani was shown after casting his ballot abroad as part of early and expat voting in his first public appearance since 2012. He has been in Germany for medical treatment following a stroke.
On Monday, insurgents mostly targeted polling stations where security forces were casting ballots two days ahead of the vote. The early balloting meant to give troops a chance to vote since most would be on duty on election day, guarding the polls.
In its statement posted on one of its Twitter accounts, the ISIL also took credit for some of Monday's attacks on polling stations. The authenticity of the statements could not be independently verified but its style was consistent with previous ones.
Emboldened by the successes of its fellow militants in the civil war next door in Syria and by widespread Sunni anger at the government in Baghdad, the group has strengthened since last year in Iraq.
Along with other insurgent groups, it has gained control since late last December of pockets of the provincial capital of Anbar province, Ramadi, and nearly all of the nearby city of Fallujah.
Due to the instability and clashes, there will be no balloting Wednesday in parts of Anbar.
More than 9,000 candidates are vying for 328 seats in parliament, which is widely expected to be won by an alliance led by Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who is likely to seek a third four-year term in office.

I was diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of my left Ear Auditory Canal in December 2011. Imagine my shock, for several years being mis-disagnosed with ear infections until a very good ear specialist decided that there was something really wrong with my ear June of 2011 and said he would watch it for a few months because my ear canal was narrowing.
In October/November 2011 the pain in my ear got worse, and I was sent for an CT Scan..something showed on the test. Then an MRI... a 2 cm mass in my left ear canal. I underwent surgery - excision biopsy... in December 2011. The radiology results come back malignant. A rare form of cancer and the location where it is located in even more rare. I opted on to have the surgical resectioning because after everything I read it seemed more risky.
I was leaning towards proton radiation therapy in January 2012. After another MRI... how does every handle all of these co-payments for MRIs, CTs scans?
But when I had the MRI in January the mass that was supposed to be completely removed by Dr. Santos of MEEI was still there. How could a slow growing tumor grow back in less than 1 month if it was completely removed like they told me it would be. I decided to wait and just do nothing. Then the pain increased... so I decided to get the residual mass removed again... scheduled for surgery in June ... had another MRI in May... the mass had shrank somewhat...so my question was why not just have radiation treatment instead of surgey + radiation treatment.
I met with the Radiation Oncologist this week and the potential side effects list are alarming (e.g., brain injury, hole in my ear, second cancer, jaw tightening, damage to my face--darkened skin, hearing loss, etc.)....
Does anyone have any recommendations on proton radiation treatment and adenoid cystic carcinoma of the ear auditory canal?
