If you were sitting bumper-to-bumper on the Helix heading into the Lincoln Tunnel in May and thought you heard the strains of "Gimme Shelter" in the distance—it may not have been the guy in the car two lanes over listening to Q104's classic rock.
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards told Rolling Stone magazine that the group spent a week in early May in New York City and at a studio in Weehawken, playing some of their greatest hits while the session was recorded by a video crew for a documentary honoring the group's 50th anniversary.
There were rumors at the time that the Stones were up to something, given that Jagger was hosting Saturday Night Live, but he ended up performing with the Foo Fighters, Jeff Beck and Arcade Fire (see video).
Some fan sites claimed the group was at Tangerine Mastering in Weehawken, but Richards did not mention where the performances took place.
Richards also told Rolling Stone there's a chance the group will play at least one live concert this year, to mark their 50th anniversary.

text: I was curious if anyone had a good system for taking notes using 2 different notebooks when at Home (office) and in the field when meeting with a prospect on a sales call. My issue is that I write big and when I'm at my desk I feel cramped writing in my JR sized Levenger Circa notebook, so I opt for a legal pad, but when I'm meeting with a client/prospect at his office, Starbucks etc. , I feel that the smaller notebook works better. I realize I need one trusted system and I do use Omnifocus on my Mac,Iphone and Ipad for my lists and projects, but for notetaking it's paper. Any ideas??

You know, this kind of speech.
Actually, they banned weed because William Randolph or whatever his name was had a monopoly on wood-paper and a billion dollars. Hemp paper was becoming big, so he used his money to shut that industry down. Then, using his news paper, he spread all sorts of lies about it being harmful. Such bullshit, I know.
In reference to it curing drug addiction, I've seen it happen. It's no secret that's one of the reasons I advocate it strongly.

A truly wonderful festival once again. However which mindless idiot decided to mess around with the layout of the family camping area. If something is not broken, don't fix it! Apart from that horrible 'them and us' fence separating us from those regimented rows of tents that looked like a cross between an army base and a prison camp, it really put that corner of the FAMILY camping further from the loos. The word Family is important here. It was perfectly OK before. And while I am venting my spleen - 40 showers among how many thousands of people? Get real. Bring back the communal showers as well as the cubicles.
loved the new layout putting the womad camping next to disabled area meaning that the disabled with famies could benefit from peace and quiet and the disabled facilities but camp in womad or tipi's - best womad sleep i have had for years
Also thought the new layout worked well, but perhaps because it suited people walking from the camper van section, where the journey was reduced considerably.
hated new layout, dont know if it was just me but it felt really cramped in family this year
Lots of space in regular camping, but don't tell the families. Agree with you Sunbird. A campsite with nowhere to wash your hands!!! What? If you did that in France, they would storm the Bastille. I think we need a campaign.
I agree about the gated community - keeping the posh people away from us.Most of the teepees appeared empty. Stick them somwhere we don't have to see them
It would be worth the price of admission alone to have the mixed communal showers back as well as the little box showers for the separatists.
The gated communities were a bit of an eyesore. If the glampers want to swan in and swan out, they could probably manage to walk another couple of hundred yards (or else they could be ferried in an out of the arena on sedan chairs or rickshaws).
I like to camp next to the trees, so I was a bit put out to see that the copses has been fenced off, as well as the creep of the fenced-off areas. Still, at least the fences served to give some of us a little feeling of solidarity with the Palestinians.
Whilst i appreciated what felt like a shorter walk from the caravan fiield i was surprised at how cramped the camping area looked, especially given the space in the posh tents area. I assumed it was down to waterlogged fields and not a new scheme?
I was more concerned about the number of security guards everywhere and some of their tactics.
NotsoGrumpyPrincess was like:
> hated new layout, dont know if it was just me
> but it felt really cramped in family this year
I thought it was as cramped on Thursday as it normally is on Friday/Saturday.
I wondered if it was due to an increased interest in the thirtieth anniversary event, or if it was because of the layout tweaks and other space management arrangements that had funnelled more tents into the family camping area.
did not like new siting of Camp Womad or Molly's. Camp Womad cramped the family area and was better where was before and Molly's needs a rethink..park and camp had real difficulties with it.

Many low-income parents could see their tax bills jump by thousands of dollars next year if nothing is done to stop a series of tax breaks from expiring January 1.
Unless Congress takes action before the end of the year, four important credits for families -- The Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit and the American Opportunity Credit -- will revert back to previous levels.
If this happens, many families will be worse off by hundreds -- or even thousands -- of dollars, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
"If you have what it takes to qualify for these particular benefits, you will get hit," said Williams.
Some families will take a hit on several fronts if they qualify for more than one tax break. A low-income couple with three kids, for example, will lose as much as $1,500 from expiring provisions of the Child Tax Credit. If their income is low enough, they could also see a smaller refund from the Earned Income Tax Credit, and benefits from the Child and Dependent Care Credit could be reduced as well.
The upcoming presidential election has left the fate of these tax breaks uncertain. Democrats and Republicans in Congress continue to butt heads about which tax cuts should be extended, and there's virtually no chance they will agree on a specific plan before the November election, Williams said.
Even if an agreement is reached by the end of the year -- which is far from a sure thing, either -- next year's tax policy will ultimately depend on who takes over the Oval Office. (Related: Americans face $3,500 fiscal cliff tax hit)
1. Child Tax Credit
The Child Tax Credit allows lower-income parents to claim as much as $1,000 for each child under age 17.
Under George W. Bush's Tax Relief Reconciliation Act, the maximum value of the credit was doubled to $1,000. Obama's 2010 Tax Relief Act then extended the credit until the end of this year and made it so families whose income tax is lower than the credit's value could receive more of the credit in a cash refund once any tax liability is zeroed out. The credit phases out for married couples whose income is $110,000 or for single people with income of $75,000 or more.
Should the Bush and Obama provisions expire, the tax break will drop back down to a maximum of $500 and only working families with three or more children will be eligible to receive cash refunds.
A couple with two children could therefore end up paying an added $1,000 in taxes next year. Since they have fewer than three children, they will no longer be eligible for a cash refund. And if they don't owe any taxes, they can't apply the credit either, said Williams.
2. Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit
This credit allows working parents -- or those looking for work -- to report up to $3,000 of child care-related expenses per child, up to a maximum of $6,000 per family. Families can receive up to 35% of their expenses as a credit, with lower-income families receiving the highest percentages.
Prior to Bush's tax cuts, parents could only report up to $2,400 per child or $4,800 per family, and families received a maximum credit of just 30% of expenses.
Should the tax breaks expire at the end of the year, the credit will revert back to these lower levels. That would mean the biggest credit that parents with two children could receive next year would be $1,440, compared to a $2,100 credit under the current tax code.
3. Earned Income Tax Credit
The government estimates that the Earned Income Tax Credit lifts millions of Americans out of poverty each year by allowing them to hold onto more of their earnings.
The more children you have, the more money you receive. For example, married couples filing jointly who have income below $50,270 and three or more qualifying children can receive up to $5,891 this year. If a married couple doesn't have any qualifying children but has income below $19,190, the maximum credit drops to $475. (Related: Don't overlook this $6,000 tax credit)
Since 2001, the income thresholds at which the credit begins phasing out for married couples were raised by about $5,000 by the Bush and Obama tax plans. But at the end of this year, phaseout thresholds for married couples are scheduled to revert back to the lower income levels that apply for single filers.

General Comments: Futures closed lower on what appeared to be a lot of speculative long liquidation. There was not a lot of news for the market, and price action reflected this. It looks like the buying was based on the charts as New York futures could not move to new lows and in fact have held at an important area on the charts. But, ideas of weak demand after the recent big rally kept some selling interest around. The weather is good in West Africa, with more moderate temperatures and some rains. The mid crop harvest is moving to completion, and less than expected production along with smaller beans is reported. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable.
Overnight News: Scattered showers are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of isolated showers. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get mostly dry conditions and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 5.095 million bags. LIFFE stocks are now 7,064 standard lots, 140 large lots, and 4 bulk lots.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to up with objectives of 2480 and 2520 July. Support is at 2340, 2325, and 2280 July, with resistance at 2400, 2420, and 2425 July. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1540, 1520, and 1505 July, with resistance at 1575, 1580, and 1600 July.
General Comments: Futures were higher again in follow through buying tied to the USDA supply and demand estimates that showed more demand and less ending stocks. Export sales were positive for futures as well. Traders also talk of reduced production potential due to the poor weather seen until recently in the Delta and Southeast and still reported in parts of Texas. Trends are up. Ideas of good weather for US crops are still around. Traders are worried about Chinese demand, but there is talk that overall demand increased in the last week. The weather has improved, but it is still too dry in Texas and drier weather is needed for the Delta and Southeast. Dry conditions are forecast for the Delta and Southeast, and dry and warm weather is expected in Texas. Weather for Cotton appears good in India, Pakistan, and China.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see dry conditions this weekend and some showers early next week. Temperatures will average above normal. Texas will get dry weather a few showers tomorrow, otherwise dry weather. Temperatures will average above normal. The USDA spot price is now 87.55 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.539 million bales, from 0.536 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are up with objectives of 9140 and 9550 July. Support is at 88.40, 87.60, and 81.70 July, with resistance of 90.50, 91.15, and 91.60 July.

General Comments: Futures closed lower on follow through selling and chart based selling. USDA lower production of Oranges in Florida, but it seemed to be a buy the rumor and sell the fact situation as decreased production had been expected. Traders are wrestling with more reports of losses from greening disease on the one side and beneficial rains that have hit the state on the other. Greening disease and what it might mean to production prospects continues to be a primary support item and will be for several years. Temperatures are warm in the state, but there are showers reported somewhere in the state every day now. The Valencia harvest is continuing. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and dry weather.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for light showers. Temperatures will average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed. Support is at 148.00, 145.00, and 144.00 July, with resistance at 154.00, 156.00, and 159.00 July.
General Comments: Futures were slightly higher in New York on speculative buying tied to ideas that the market was oversold, but did not rally much due to reports of bigger production in Colombia and Brazil. Weakness continued in London due to ideas of big supplies from producers, mostly from Vietnam. London futures appear oversold as well. Arabica cash markets remain quiet right now and roasters in the US are showing little interest in buying. Buying interest could appear with this latest move lower. There is talk of increasing offers of Robusta from producers as they apparently did not sell when prices were much higher. Most sellers, including Brazil, are quiet and are waiting for futures to move higher. Buyers are interested on cheap differentials. Brazil weather is forecast to show dry conditions, but no cold weather. There are some forecasts for cold weather to develop in Brazil at the end of next week. Current crop development is still good this year in Brazil. Central America crops are seeing good rains now. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are little changed today and are about 2.746 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 116.78 ct/lb. Brazil should get dry weather except for some showers in the southwest on Sunday. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get showers. Temperatures should average near to above normal. LIFFE stocks are now 12,114 lots.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are down with objectives of 116.00 July. Support is at 119.00, 116.00, and 113.00 July, and resistance is at 125.00, 127.00, and 130.00 July. Trends in London are down with objectives of 1765 July. Support is at 1770, 1740, and 1710 July, and resistance is at 1810, 1845, and 1865 July. Trends in Sao Paulo are down with no objectives. Support is at 147.00, 144.00, and 140.00 September, and resistance is at 155.00, 159.00, and 161.50 September.
General Comments: Futures closed mostly lower due to ideas of big world supplies. July managed to close with a small gain as short speculators start to pull out of positions before the contract stops trading at the end of the month. There was no other real news for the market. The price action overall remains weak and implies that further losses are coming down the road due to coming Brazil supplies. Traders remain bearish on ideas of big supplies, especially from Brazil. Traders in Brazil expect big production as the weather is good. Demand is said to be strong from North Africa and the Middle East, but starting to fade now as needs are getting covered.
Overnight News: Showers are expected in Brazil. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to down with objectives of 1620, 1610, and 1570 July. Support is at 1620, 1600, and 1570 July, and resistance is at 1660, 1675, and 1700 July. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 474.00, 470.00, and 467.00 August, and resistance is at 481.00, 486.00, and 487.00 August.

Fish markets in New York soon might be able to sell largemouth bass, which would allow north country fish farms to satisfy increasing demand from hungry customers but may dissatisfy some sport fishermen.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation is considering a change in regulation that would allow just that. The move would open the large New York City market to black bass producers, who can offer their fish only outside of the state.
Thats the preferred fish of the market right now, said Donald J. Sadue, the owner of Laurellea Farms in Gouverneur.
But some sport fishermen are concerned about DECs definition and its reluctance to require tagging the fish, pitting agricultural interests against recreation activists.
The Jefferson County Sport Fish Advisory Board doesnt object to the sale of largemouth bass, just smallmouth bass. But the way the regulation is written does not differentiate between the two.
Mr. Sadue said he would not object to separating the fish into two categories and continuing the ban on smallmouth bass, which are in decline in Lake Ontario.
I think youll see the DEC will probably separate that out so the smallmouth bass population isnt included in that, he said.
The countys advisory board, whose recommendations were passed by a county committee Tuesday night despite coming after the closure of comment period for the regulation, also would like the state to increase oversight by requiring fish tagging. That would help separate legitimate largemouth bass raised on farms from bass that have been poached from the wild.
The state doesnt sell officially sanctioned fish tags.
If youre poaching fish, you can tag the fish and say you raised them, said Mitchell L. Franz, a Sport Fish Advisory Board official. The department didnt want to do that.
Steve Ammerman, a spokesman for the New York Farm Bureau, said the agribusiness group was opposed to requiring fish tags, which would be cumbersome and expensive and would harm the fish.
We dont feel its necessary for a number of reasons, Mr. Ammerman said.
Mr. Sadue currently stocks streams and private ponds with rainbow trout. If hes allowed to sell largemouth bass to fish markets in the state, his business will expand. But even if the regulation doesnt go through, he plans to expand anyway. With the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico driving demand for species such as bass, and an uptick in fish demand in general, the opportunity is irresistible.
Were ramping up for it, Mr. Sadue said. If the regulation doesnt pass, were still going to raise them and sell them outside New York state. Its no different from telling a maple syrup producer that they have to go somewhere else.

For first-timers in a Korean bathhouse, stripping naked and soaking for hours in tubs with strangers often comes as a jolt.
The scrub corner in any jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouse/sauna/spa/adult playground) is the section newbies find most alarming.
This is because the scrub corner traffics in a completely different kind of naked intimacy -- one in which a grumpy Korean woman in black lace underwear uses a coarse towel to scrub every corner of her guest/victim's body.
For most, it's a punishing, yet oddly satisfying experience.
It lasts about 40 minutes -- or a few minutes longer than you'd find yourself in the ring for a championship prizefight.
Good Korean scrub
The intense Korean cleansing process (called "seshin") entails soaking the body in hot water, then rubbing it with a "Korean Italy towel" -- a colorful, thin loofah with a sandpaper-like texture -- to rid the body of all the gunk, dirt and layers of dead skin that accumulate naturally.
Rolls of dark, gray skin fall away as the ddemiri (scrub mistress) works away, revealing soft, pink layers of skin underneath.
It's an extraordinarily rejuvenating -- and, again, painful -- process that locals embrace as a weekly ritual with family and friends.
Men and women have separate bathing areas and get scrubbed by members of their own gender.
Gaining traction
Korean scrubbing rituals have typically been embraced by few Westerners -- assorted Hollywood stars have gone in for quick sessions in LA's Koreatown.
Otherwise, the technique is largely unknown.
Over the past year or so, however, according to Seoul's Dragon Hill Spa head of public relations Hyun-Kyu Sang, the number of foreigners coming for scrubs is increasing.
"We've been noticing tourists coming to Korea and staying two nights at a hotel, and one night here, at the spa," says Sang, explaining that many foreign visitors opt for package deals that included a seshin option.
"A lot of tourists come to Korea and come here first, with their luggage, and get scrubbed to start their visit," he says.
Is the Korean-style scrub on its way to becoming the next global beauty trend?
If it is, we want to be among the first to check it out.
That's why we went to Seoul to ask the best scrub mistresses for tips on getting the most out of a scrub session.
1. Don't touch the shower gel
While many bring their own fancy shower gel to the bathhouse to lather up before the scrub, it turns out that bar soap, not the liquid kind, is actually the way to go.
"Use the soap provided by the bathhouses during the pre-scrub shower and soak," says Kim Jung Yeol, who's been a scrub mistress at the Dragon Hill Spa in Yongsan, Seoul, for more than a decade.
"If you use body shampoo, the skin gets too slippery to scrub properly, and the 'dde' (dead skin rolls) doesn't come off nearly as well."
2. Soak for 30 minutes in medium-hot water
Impatient scrubees bolt out of soaking tubs after five or 10 minutes.

Thanks babs. I've printed off this article and will definitely read through it. I'll highlight the important parts to condense it for my busy doctor, although even then I'm not sure he'll read it. But maybe if I tell him I'm not planning to take the lipitor anymore he may sit up and pay attention! I'd like a doctor-patient relationship that is a cooperative partnership. If not with this doctor then perhaps it's time to find another. Few and far between around here though.

Here too., I do the same. Here's another article about cholesterol, and lowering. This is from the prestigious Business Week Magazine, and features Dr. James Wright of Therapeutics Initiative at UBC.
Eric Topol, cardiologist, on cholesterol:http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/05/opinion/the-diabetes-dilemma-for-statin-users.html?_r=1
"We're overdosing on cholesterol-lowering statins, and the consequence could be a sharp increase in the incidence of Type 2 diabetes."
(Eric J. Topol is a cardiologist at the Scripps Clinic, a professor of genomics at the Scripps Research Institute and the author of "The Creative Destruction of Medicine.")
Knowledge is power. Good Luck.
Amazing how I am the only type 1 diabetic who has been on the medicine for years and you simply disregard what I have to say. I didn't get this disease because I was over weight or didn't exercise, my pancreas simply does not produce insulin. These drugs have saved my life. There are risks with everything, even walking across the street.
I have been a healthy weight my entire life and my team of doctors at UCLA put me on these drugs years ago as a preventative measure. Thank Buddha they did.
Educate yourself from all sides and don't play doctor if you don't have a degree. It's good to do your own research and ask questions. After all it is your own health. But it's dangerous to emphatically say it's bad when you have never taken the medicine, to scare people without any experience with the drug. You may choose to ignore my comment but I am living proof that the medicine does work.
Come find me when you have survived type 1 diabetes for 34 years with no complications. I have something to say - don't ignore someone who has lived it and survived.
Hi Red
I am not ignoring you. I haven't seen your addy or posts until this moment.
We are talking about Diabetes 2 caused by Statins and the documented evidence for that. See Eric Topol's video on theheart.org blog.
Women's Health Initiative on post-menopausal women Diabetes 2 and Statins (the people that brought us the truth about HRT):
And here's an article and video from CBS News on the memory side effects of Statins. No, it's not age, it's the Statin. The FDA warning mentions this aspect too, as well as causing Diabetes 2.
There is more information on memory side effects on Dr. Beatrice Golomb's Statin Effect Study.
See: Statin Adverse Effects:https://www.statineffects.com/info/
Dr. Golomb is principal investigator into the negative side effects of Statins. She is funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Thanks for oatmeal recipes as well as encouraging words for my weight loss.
Red I am glad that you are healthy with the help of your medication, but I guess there is a misunderstanding here. I thought we were talking about Type 2 diabetes here. Last week I heard a bit of talk on the radio and they were saying how what was once "adult" onset diabetes is seen in kids due to their weights. Well, the main topic was lap band surgery and almost everybody who had it said they had Type 2 diabetes and after starting to lose weight, they lowered their medications and some others didn't need it at all. In fact, now they are wondering if they should operate on people with type 2 almost immediately, which I believe a bit of a too much drastic measure as operations are dangerous, but I don't know enough about the statistic experimentation they did to suggest this. Or maybe they just want to design an experiment to see the effectiveness of their suggestion.

@cch2, do you prepare oats in different ways? All I do is to cook them with water, sometimes I use some plant based milk to get a bit of a different taste. Come warmer days, I don't think I will be too crazy about preparing a warm breakfast, but rather eat Kashi's Autumn Wheat with cold rice milk. On the other hand, I like to have tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers with fresh chopped mint on, a few olives and my downfall cheese, feta in this case -- I need to find a replacement for the feta for my summer breakfast!
Try mixing plant milk and oats with a bit of sweetener (if you like) and some dried fruit (raisins etc) in a bowl, then cover and pop it into the fridge overnight. Stir it up in the morning and eat it cold - very refreshing way to get oatmeal in the warmer months.
I inherited my dad's cholesterol profile (he's not Italian either) but we've got high HDL, low LDL, low triglycerides - his doctor and mine both just pretty much ignore the 'total cholesterol' number because the higher HDL throws it off a bit. As a diabetic, I've got an agreement with my dr. - as long as I can keep my HDL up, my LDL and triglycerides down, he won't even mention a statin. And, so far, all is good. Hubby, however, is on a statin and has been for the last few years. He was working to lower his cholesterol with diet and exercise, and it was working to an extent. However, strokes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, run in his family. We were working to avoid those things and avoid medication but then he had a TIA (according to the ER) or a vasospasm (according to our dr) - either way it basically gave him a minor taste of a possible stroke heading his way. So, he started on a low dose of a statin as well as continuing to improve his eating and exercise. He'll probably always be on blood pressure and cholesterol meds at this point but we're working to bolster his health in as many other ways as possible.
--Deb R
Deb R thanks for the cold oatmeal recipe, I will definetly try it.
Our doctor looks at Chol/HDL ratio before making any medication suggestions, so in your case that ratio should be fine. In fact, as I mentioned before my husband decided to try diet change before considering taking any medication and it worked for him. However, apparently your husband cannot benefit from a diet change, but at least the medicines are helping him out. Especially for women things may change drastically after menapouse, at least I saw my own mom start suffering from blood pressure problems when she had really low BP before menapause.
I hope every participant will be healthier than they started come the end of this kickstart and continue to improve their health.
Hi Deb
Stains CAUSE stroke.This is documented evidence known to the FDA and your pharmacist. Dr. Eric Topal mentions the risk of stroke on Statins in the video I posted yesterday, here. Just click on the link:http://blogs.theheart.org/topolog/2012/3/1/statins-and-diabetes-a-hard-look-at-the-data-2
I am very sorry to hear your husband experienced this. More's the pity, it is something his doctor should have known about. It's common knowledge: Statins cause stroke.
"(...) may increase the risk for hemorrhagic stroke":http://cardiology.jwatch.org/cgi/content/full/2007/1212/1
I urge you all to read the Statin Effects Study website and the other links, or at least question your pharmacist, not about what you shoudl do, but about the known side effects of Statins (and any drug you are prescribed). You will then be able to make an "informed" choice about your health and medication.
Another article on the same side effect: Statins and hemorrhagic stroke (plus listing other serious side effects. Note: Statin side effects can cause permanent disability.
babs wrote:
FYI hubby was NOT on a statin UNTIL he had a near-stroke incident. He has a family history of stroke, he has hypertension, and he is clinically obese (though he lost over 80 lbs already). He also has upside down cholesterol - that is, his HDL is way lower than his LDL, lower than the target range for HDL. We deliberately chose NOT to have him on a statin (even though the dr thought it might be a good idea) until he spent a couple scary days in the hospital after the right side of his body started feeling numb - he could still use his right arm but it was feeling like the circulation was cut off (best way I can think to describe it - the numbest was only skin deep sort of). For people with big risk factors and/or history of cardiovascular issues, the case isn't quite the same.
Sorry I was unclear. Editing and writing while cooking. Please contact Dr. Golomb's people, who are doing studies and would like anyone who has taken a statin, good or bad experience no matter, to fill out a survey. They will also answer any questions you may have re Statins. She is funded $5 million dollars by the NIH to do this.
One of the things many people do to learn about their drugs is set a Google search for them to come into your e-mail: "Statins negative effects" or "Statins and side effects and personal experience". Etc. There are a couple online forums for people harmed by Statins, or just trying not to take them. One is on run by a woman whose husband was disabled by Statins. You can join, or just read, most of what's there as open access. http://stopped_our_statins.webs.com/
I have been permanently disabled by Statins, and have suffered hemorrhagic stroke from them. My information is a part of Dr. Golomb's study of thousands of people many of whom have also been permanently disabled by Statins.
This article about people disabled by Statins was in the Wall Street Journal. Sharon Hope's husband was in a similar situation as yours. (I'm not stumping for this website, it's just where one can find this article now, although, I do take fish oil. )
I am concerned about the misinformation that is currently being discussed. Type 2 diabetes is not caused by Statins. It is caused by poor diet, being overweight, and not exercising. No child should ever have type 2 diabetes. It is a curable disease.
Red wrote:
It is a 'somewhat' curable disease in that if you eat well, exercise regularly, etc. you can avoid progression, avoid medication, avoid side effects. However, it is still there. You might call it "remission" because if you stop exercising, stop eating right, gain weight, it comes back - where someone who is not exercising and is overweight might not have it. Did that sentence make sense? What I'm saying is that I have type 2 diabetes, hubby does not. We both exercise and try to eat better now. But we're also both significantly overweight. I can keep my diabetes under control with diet, exercise, and meds as prescribed (as needed - that changes). If hubby and I stop exercising, my diabetes with be less controlled but he still doesn't have it. So, I'm not "cured" of diabetes, but I can fight it to a standstill so it doesn't progress. The tendency of my body to resist insulin, to maybe make an insufficient supply, whatever, is still there. It's not a cure - if it was a cure, I could do something for a set time period (a year, 5 years, 2 years, whatever) and it would be gone permanently; they can cure pnuemonia - take proper meds for a set time and it's gone.
Red, I started to look at the links babs has been sending and the second one she sent http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/archinternmed.2011.625 says this
"Background This study investigates whether the incidence of new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with statin use among postmenopausal women participating in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI)....Conclusions Statin medication use in postmenopausal women is associated with an increased risk for DM. This may be a medication class effect. Further study by statin type and dose may reveal varying risk levels for new-onset DM in this population."
It is saying it looks like it may have an affect and suggesting further study. Thus, it may be likely some postmenopausal women will be get such an adverse affect.
Until reading the brief about this study, I also thought Type 2 was basically related to your life style, your diet and somewhat to your age.
Well, in terms of type 1 and type 2 - it is a curable disease. As long as you maintain a healthy weight and good diet, you do not have to worry about insulin injections, testing your blood sugar 8+ times a day, suffering from debilitating complications, and staying on medicines for the rest of your life. Type 1's do have to worry about all of that because it is an incurable disease.
Statins and other medicines are essential for most type 1 diabetics who have suffered from this disease for most their lives. You may choose to not take this medicine but don't put fear out there for the rest of us. I respect your side of the story but you could at least see my (our)side of the story. They help!
I think you're mixing your replies - I have never said that anyone should not take a medication that is helping.
I do tend to get my bristles up when someone says something is curable when it is actually remission, not a cure. Same with a lot of things - my hubby's hypertension for example - if he eats right, exercises regularly AND takes his medication, AND uses his C-PAP when he sleeps, his blood pressure stays in a reasonably healthy range. If he stops doing any or all of these things, it goes up. It is partly related to lifestyle issues but also partlyfamilial/genetic. Likewise, I know someone who MUST take statins because of his genetic history - it's sky high even if he eats only lettuce and drinks only water and exercises for hours per day. For those with existing conditions that warrant it, medications including statins can be life-saving. For others, medications like statins are a one-size-fits-all thing that is an automatic reaction among the medical community at large - my endocrinologist and my GP both wanted me on statins as soon as the blood test came back with a definite type 2 diagnosis. I said No because my cholesterol profile is fine. If I can no longer maintain a healthy cholesterol profile while doing all the same things (or avoiding all the same things) or if I have some type of 'event' (cardio vascular issue), that will be back in the discussion. But not before.

Please read Dr. Barnard's "Reversing Diabetes (type 2)." It is a curable and revealable disease.

i just got a pair of jbl s312 speakers and a harmon 520avr receiver (both i got from the deals section here) and now need to make my home system functional. Ill add some more speakers over time. I currently am using the speakers that came with my vcr and dvd player but want to upgrade the whole system in addition to finding good cables for my new floor standing speakers.
Should i buy a particular name brand such as monster and if so from where. Even monster seems to carry multiple brands and i am not certain as to what to get. Currently my system looks nice but it would be better if i could hear it.

What is Dumping?
Dumping syndrome is a group of symptoms caused by rapid passage of undigested food into the small intestine. The stomach has a valve at the top and bottom, and serves as an acid-filled storage tank, breaking food intake down into small, component parts and passing it to the small bowel in small increments.
After gastric bypass, ingested food passes directly into the small bowel, mixed only with saliva, but not the stomach acid. The component parts of the undigested food remain fairly intact and therefore large.
The small intestine responds by diluting the ingested food through a process of water recruitment. The richer the food, in terms of sugar content, the more water will rush into the small intestine to dilute it. This is referred to as early dumping.
Early Dumping and Late Dumping
Early dumping occurs a few minutes to 45 minutes after eating. Symptoms are not life-threatening, but can be frightening to the unsuspecting patient. Symptoms of early dumping are:
- Weakness and fainting
- Sweating
- Irregular and rapid heartbeat
- Low blood pressure
- Flushing of the skin
- Dizziness
- Shortness of breath
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea and cramps
Late dumping occurs two to three hours after eating. It is caused by excess insulin produced in response to rapid entry of food and fluids into the small intestine. The high insulin levels lower low blood glucose level and cause symptoms including:
- Perspiration
- Hunger
- Shakiness
- Anxiety
- Difficulty to concentrate
- Exhaustion
- Faintness
The diagnosis of late dumping syndrome can often be confirmed through frequent blood sampling to measure blood glucose.
You can prevent early and late dumping by avoiding the foods that cause dumping. In other words sugars, starches, and fried foods. Eat at least five to six small, evenly spaced meals a day. Take meals dry (i.e. without water or beverages, and drink fluids only between meals). Because carbohydrate intake is restricted, protein and fat intake should be increased to fulfill energy needs. Examples include meats, cheeses, eggs, nuts, toast, potatoes, and rice crackers. Milk and milk products are generally not tolerated and should be avoided.
Each person has a different tolerance, and you will discover what your personal safe foods might be throughout your post surgery life. Person A might have no problem with strawberries and person B might experience dumping every time a few strawberries are eaten and person C might be able to eat strawberries only if they are a little unripe. You will learn what your own trigger foods might be. Be aware that these may change over time as your bypass matures.
General Measures to Treat Dumping
For early dumping, lie down for 45 minutes until symptoms pass to minimize the chances of fainting. For late dumping, eat small amounts of sugar candy or drink sweetened juice until the symptoms of low blood sugar resolve. Additionally you can supplement food with dietary fibers such as fruit, vegetables, and grain products. Many medical therapies have been tested, including pectin, guar gum, and glucomannan. These dietary fibers form gels with carbohydrates, resulting in delayed glucose absorption and therefore avoiding a sharp increase in insulin. However in 3 to 5 percent of instances, severe symptoms of dumping can continue despite dietary changes. This results in marked weight-loss, fear of eating and outdoor activities, or even an inability to maintain full-time employment.
Medical management of dumping includes acarbose or octreotide. Acarbose delays absorption of food and maintains an even blood glucose level. Octreotide is an analog of a hormone in the digestive system that can alleviate dumping by inhibiting insulin release and by slowing transit of food in the small intestine.
Dumping is Common
Dumping syndrome is a common post-surgical complication after gastric surgery. The symptoms of dumping may cause considerable morbidity. If medical management fails to provide adequate symptom relief, remedial surgery should be offered with the understanding that even surgical intervention may not be successful. Normally most patients have a spontaneous recovery as the digestive system adapts after surgery. Early dumping syndrome usually occurs for three to four months after surgery. Late dumping syndrome can occur for an entire year, but may persist for many years. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your health provider to review your food diary and implement changes to help you.

Piano, Singing, Broadway Singing, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Songwriting
Hi! My name is Angela, and I teach private piano, voice, and theory lessons. I have a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from Lindenwood University, a Master's degree in Music Theory from Washington University, and am certified to teach music to all levels in the state of Missouri. I love teaching, and have taught many ages (4 to 91) and ability levels (novice to advanced). I am a dependable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic teacher. I offer piano and voice lessons for 30, 45, or 60-minute weekly sessions in my music studio. I do not offer bi-weekly lessons or lessons in the student's home.
I started playing piano at age seven when my mother enrolled me in lessons. I have been playing ever since, and I absolutely love it. I began teaching private piano lessons in 2003, and have taught many thousands of lessons since that time. I have experience accompanying choirs, instrumentalists, and vocalists, as well as playing as a soloist in various piano competitions and recitals. I recently began taking lessons in jazz piano, a genre I never learned much about. I believe it is never too late to learn something new, and I am excited to start this new chapter of my musical life and to use this new knowledge to enhance my own teaching.
My love of singing began in my freshman year of high school, when I joined the choir. It was a life-changing experience, and inspired me to make music my career. I immediately began taking private voice lessons, and became a voice teacher myself by 2005. While in college, I was presented with many opportunities to learn and grow, both as a musician and as a teacher. I sang in several different collegiate choirs, and was nominated to be in the all-collegiate choir in 2007. I also passed yearly auditions to sing in Voices Only, Lindenwood's most advanced vocal group. During my junior and senior years at Lindenwood, I worked as the assistant director of Voices Only. This was a wonderful opportunity, and I learned so much while leading warm-ups every day, running sectionals on a weekly basis, directing the group during rehearsals and even during performances when the director was away. I currently sing in the Saint Louis Harmony Chorus, one of the top 25 women's barbershop choruses in the world. I am on the music faculty of the chorus, and am also the baritone section leader. I also sing in an award-winning barbershop quartet called Executive Sweets.
My name is James, and I love music. Music is my "aeroplane". It's the window to my world. Everything I do involves music: learning it, playing it, listening to it, creating it, studying it. I think it is safe to say that music is my life's passion. If you have a passion for music, or even just a curiosity, I'd love to be the one to help you explore the magical world of music!
I've been playing for about 20 years now, and I've had almost every experience that one can have playing the piano: playing at a high competition level, public performances, both solo and ensemble, lots of private instruction. My personal training is in classical piano, however I believe that all genres possess the potential to be an instrument of learning and enjoyment, AT THE SAME TIME! And I'd love to show you how!
Recently, I completed my sophomore leve classes at a local college studying music under a wonderful and passionate professor. This experience has only helped to solidify my love of musical arts. During my freshman year of studies, I was awarded Music Student of the Year (2008-2009) by the head of the music department on my campus. And I have completed my associate level music requirements at the end of spring term 2010. Ever since, I have been building my student base and honing my teaching skills.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Classical Guitar, Music Theory, Songwriting
Composer and guitarist David began formal music training at the age of 5 on the drums. He taught himself guitar as a teenager and began playing in local rock bands. Initially entering college as a Journalism major, his passion for music led him to Meramec College where he studied Music Theory with Robert C. Howard and classical guitar with Larry Bolles. From 1990 through 1993, he attended Webster University, and became only the second composer in the school's history to receive the BM/MM Scholarship. While at Webster, he studied composition with Dr. Kendall Stallings, Robert Chamberlin, and Kim Portnoy, Jazz History with Paul Demarinis, and 18th Century Counterpoint with Dr. Eloise Jarvis. During his education, he performed with many student ensembles and sat in on master classes by the great sitarist and surbaharist, Imrat Khan and jazz guitarist Peter Leitch.
In 1993 he started St. Louis SoundWorks with Grammy nominated Adam Long and Mark McClanahan that specialized in mobile recording, and composing music for films and commercials.
As a musician, David has composed over 200 pieces for various instruments and combinations from small chamber ensembles to full orchestra. He was bandleader of two creative ensembles that focused on alternative notation compositions and improvised music, and later co-founded the avant-garde influenced rock band Diverted Course which released two CD's.
As a teacher, David has taught classical guitar and musicianship as an adjunct faculty member at Meramec College and Webster University. He has given seminars on the music of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, and Anthony Braxton. He has been teaching privately for 23 years and many of his students have gone on to successful music careers and performed all over the world.
