Every year, whether you are fat or thin, whether you lose weight or gain, 10 percent of your fat cells die. And every year, those cells that die are replaced with new fat cells, researchers in Sweden reported Sunday.The result is that the total number of fat cells in the body remains the same, year after year throughout adulthood. Losing or gaining weight affects only the amount of fat stored in the cells, not the number of cells.The finding was published online Sunday in the journal Nature.Obesity investigators say the study raises tantalizing questions: What determines how many fat cells are in a person’s body? When is that number determined? Is there a way to intervene so people end up with fewer fat cells when they reach adulthood? And could obesity be treated by making fat cells die

I have been replaced.  My pain runs deep, people.Very deep. There's something new in my hubby's life.  Something that has come between us. Do you understand the betrayal that I feel? I have always been the back scratch er.    I have stopped mid-sentence to accommodate my hubby's profound itch, for years.  My activities have been redirected when his cry for a good scratch was heard.  I heeded the call.   I married him knowing he had itchy issues.  I saw past them.  I manicured my nails with him in mind.  It is the sole reason I keep my trim nails lengthy. Only to be replaced by a skinny, newer back scratcher?  A replica of the real thing? Give me a moment to compose myself. *SNIFF*  *BLOW*  *WIPE* Thank you. He bought this replacement on a whim.  I'm sure it w

It has been months since my iPod has gone on the blink and I have been hemming and hawing about either getting the battery replaced for around $70 dollars or buying a new iPod. What I didn't know as a self-respecting geek, was that you can just pop the thing open and replace the battery yourself. I learned this from some true Apple core geeks on my last business trip. These software engineers had really cool MacBooks running Windows XP and OS X, with custom designed graphic skins. One guy was using MacJournal to take all his notes on his super quiet keyboard, while I typed away loudly in Microsoft Word on my POS Lenovo T60 (company issue, can't complain). I almost considered getting a MacBook for about a microsecond. That evening I ordered a $10 battery from BatteryShip.com and the d

The retractable headlights of the NA (front car) were replaced by fixed headlights on the NB (rear car).There were a number of trim levels and special editions available, determined by local Mazda marketing departments. In the US, the base model was offered for a mere $13,995 at launch and was very basic, with manual windows, steel wheels, and without A/C or power steering. The "A Package" offered power steering, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum alloy wheels and cassette stereo. The "B Package" added power windows, along with cruise control and headrest speakers, while the "C Package" included a tan interior and top and leather seats. The "R Package" was for racing, and the annual special editions were formalized as "M Editions" from Generation 1.5. These included all of the luxu

Maruti Suzuki India has always been on the forefront to beat competition by providing quality products. Launching its entry level sedan Swift DZire, maruti wanted to rock sedan segment in India.

The success of cute, stylish and powerful Dzire which has generated a lot of excitement and curiosity among the car lovers, will be very crucial for Maruti to cement its position in sedan segment.

Sameera Reddy says she doesn’t care, but the fact is she has replaced Mallika Sherawat at the last moment in Abbas-Mustan’s “Race”. “Who cares? Roles exchange hands all the time. Bipasha (Basu) was supposed to do my role in Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s ‘Kaal Purush’. Does it matter? I’m just too excited working with Abbas-Mustan for the first time,” Sameera told IANS. “I’m also quite taken up with the idea of working with Saif (Ali Khan), Bipasha, Akshaye (Khanna) for the first time. And you know what? I play a full-on bimbette in this film!” Sameera must be a rare actress to be so happy doing a no-brainer role. “Yes, I am! Because the fact is, from ‘Musafir’ onwards I’m quite tired of doing serious dark roles. I want to just let my hair down and have fun. Abbas-Mustan’s ‘Race’ will allow that because everyone has a character to play. No one is paired with anyone. It’

Britney Spears is apparently so “out of shape”, she will be replaced by a body double for a nude magazine shoot. Britney will get naked in Blender magazine in to recreate an iconic Marilyn Monroe photograph, but the magazine wants to swap her body with a more “in shape” model. An advert placed in the magazine reads: “We are casting for a Britney Spears body double. You must have shoulder to medium length blonde hair. This person must also be in shape! 5′2″ to 5′5″. This will be a take off of a Bert Stern photograph of Marilyn Monroe in bed, from the last shoot before her death. Your face will not be shown in the final photograph/cover.” The model must be aged 18 to 25 and will be paid $500 to pose either on December 14 or the 17.

No doubt in response to numerous complaints by NFL players and possibly others, according to Alan Robinson of the Associated Press, the turf currently in place at Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be replaced with a new grass playing field in time for the Monday night game between the Steelers and Miami Dolphins. But the makeover will have to wait until four high school football games and the South Florida-Pitt game are completed over the weekend. The new sod will remain in place for the balance of the season. After this weekend, the only games tentatively scheduled to be played at Heinz Field are Steelers’ home games on December 2 and December 16, although it is possible that Steeler playoff games could take place there in January 2008. Currently, the turf on Heinz Field consists of a hybrid surface, consisting of mostly natural grass, interwoven with plastic fibers known as DD Grassmaster .

  Tradition be damned - what the world needs now is a more politically correct Santa.  No matter how you cut it, "Ho, Ho, Ho" is just too god damn offensive to all the bitches.  It doesn't stop there either.  I just read that Lowes is now choosing to sell "family trees" instead of "Christmas trees."  Well, fuck it all to hell!  Let's kill Christmas and making years of successful marketing strategies obsolete.  From Yahoo: Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday. Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

What would happen if web content suddenly didn't account for anything? If you couldn't trust an online source for news? What if online articles, videos, and networks all suddenly became obsolete?The truth is that these are questions you may have to ask yourself in the near future, as online content fades and is replaced by communities.Online communities are becoming prominent resources in the news today; with CNN featuring YouTube community videos, websites like Digg.com being featured in printed news articles, and other websites like NewsVine.com being picked up by major news corporations, online communities are rapidly becoming acceptable for accurate news and information.But enough to replace regular online content?Yes. Why? Because your safest bet is in numbers. When one person blogs about something that could be considered important news - even if it's only about how their neighbors dog got run over by a car - it will not be considered "accurate" or "important" until an entire

It seems like the entire Arsenal squad has had something positive to say in the aftermath of their seven-goal demolition of Slavia Prague. The man who has been in all the headlines after scoring twice in his first start of the season is 18-year-old striker Theo Walcott and he had some things to say about being compared to Thierry Henry. Walcott is blessed with the same pace as his former teammate and the second goal he scored against Slavia was typical of an Henry in full flight. Despite this, Walcott was quick to distance himself from the Frenchman and empasised that he is very much his own man. “People are going to compare the second goal to Thierry but it was my own goal. People are always going to compare me to Thierry - the way I run and everything - but as I keep saying I will be my own player.” And so he should be. The comparisons with Henry will always exist but as long as Walcott does not feel burdened by them he will continue to develop well. If he can be even

One day before shooting begins on The Lovely Bones, disaster struck. Ryan Gosling apparently left the film due to ‘creative differences’. He had already gained 20 pounds and grown a beard for the role. So, who can fill the void? Marky Mark of course! Yep, Mark Wahlberg has stepped in to replace Gosling in the Peter-Jackson adaptation of Alice Sebold’s novel. Wahlberg will take the role of Jack Salmon, the grieving father of a 14-year-old girl from Pennsylvania who is murdered by her neighbour. The girl tells her story from heaven, showing the lives of the people around her and how they have changed, all while attempting to get someone to find her lost body. Rachel Weisz will be playing the girls mother. I’m sure there is more of a story behind the last minute move, but it will be a while before it comes out of the woodwork.

Nokia Phone Batteries to be Replaced, Overheating Incidents: Free Calls, SMSNokia is offering to replace 46 million batteries for its mobile phones after reports of overheating while charging. The problems are confined to BL-5C batteries made by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. More than 250 million BL-5C batteries made for Nokia by other manufacturers are not affected, the company said. The mobile giant said there had been 100 reports of overheating, and that the problem battery had been used inside more than 50 different phones. In a statement, the company said: "Nokia has identified that in very rare cases the affected batteries could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge." Nokia said there had been no reports of "serious injuries or property damage" as a result of the overheating. Customers can check on the Nokia website if the battery in their mobile phone is affected. "Concerned consumer

Robert Kubica feels well and ready race again after his horrific crash in Montreal. But the opinion of FIA doctors is different and he will not be allowed to race this weekend. As much as I feel sorry for Kubica I think that FIA made very sensible decision for the sake of safety of all drivers and perhaps also for Kubica's racing future. This may be just a "better safe than sorry" kind of decision but that is what is right in this kind of situation. Let's hope young Sebastian Vettel can handle the Indy track, banked corner and the walls ...

Ever since Michelle from GardenRant brought this picture to our attention, I've been chewing over in my mind as to a possible replacement for that rose. I've read the comments on the GardenRant blog and understand it's historical importance as a sculpture (and that it probably has nothing to do with gardening!), however, I'm keen to know what others think should be planted inside that fist. I agree with you Michelle. Roses are a little cliche. Claire from An Alameda Garden thought that it would be better if the fist were holding a bunch of oxalis weed, root and all. Should it have been sculpted with a weed, a hard-to-grow plant or some other inspirational floral symbol? And, if this sculpture was in your home town what would it be holding? If it were in Busselton it would definitely be holding an arum lilly.

I mentioned in an earlier post that some Cuban parents in Florida have taken to stealing books from the school libraries of their children because they are offended by the contents of the books. They are doing it openly and with no sense of wrongness or shame involved. Syndicated newspaper columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. finds that practice to be as wrong as many of us found it when we read the story. Now Pitts plans to fight back by personally replacing books that have been stolen."It's not censoring," Rodriguez said. "It's protecting our children from lies."But of course it is censoring, and I'd love to be able to report that the fact Bossard Elementary just got its book back means Rodriguez has belatedly realized this and repented. What it actually means is that I had a copy of the book shipped to the school at my expense....Now, Dalila Rodriguez steals a book. It is an offensive book, she says, citing a line that says many Cubans immigrated to Florida when Castro took power in 19
