Is it okay to use raw organic hemp oil for oil pulling?
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Hi People,
I am a natural remedy freak and am willing to try anything short of urine therapy ;)
I tried pulling with hemp oil the last two days. I had a slight pain in the left throat area, always a sign of oncoming infection, but today it has disappeared. I gargled for 3 - 5 minutes, but the hemp oil still retained its yellow colour when I spat it out, though in increased volume because of the stimulation of saliva. I don't know if I should gargle for a bit more.
I read in your report that microscopic examination of the foamy oil after gargling showed parasite eggs, etc. As the test is apprently done only on the oil by-product, I am not sure if this is scientific. Perhaps a comparison should also be done with gargled out plain water. This is not doubting the potential benefits of oil pulling, but tests must be rigorously done to be doubly sure.
Keep up the good work!

01/26/2012Penawan.... I really hope you aren't gargling any oil you're using because I have read the instructions in the oil pulling section and they clearly say NO gargling! You should be swishing the oil and it must be done for at least 20 minutes. Gargling isn't suggested cause tilting your head back to gargle might cause some of the oil to be swallowed and you REALLY don't want to do that!!
Casey... How do you use the hemp oil for insomnia, pain and anxiety? And what else can it be used for? I haven't read much about hemp oil being used for ailments.

[YEA] I took a couple of teaspoons of raw honey in my mouth and kept swishing it around for 20 minutes (procedure same as oil pulling), and the spat it out and rinsed my mouth. Voila! Toothache gone immediately!!Posted by Winnie (Washington, DC) on 04/03/2008
[YEA] Thank you earth clinic. we're all in this together. I spend lots of time reading about remedies and testimonies, the yes and the nays, its all good. I am pleased to read the nays that come from people who understand that even though the product didn't work for them, doens't mean the other testimonies are fake, just as we all are individuals, we get different responses. it's all good, learn from it and ask your higher power to send you what works. that's what i did; I have been trying lots of things, every time I read a testimony, I run out and buy the stuff and start using, and a week later, I decide, this thing is not working, and sometimes get angry because I have a cabinet full of ingredients I don't want to use anymore; then I started reading the testimonies from my heart, and listening to how I really feel about a product.
What happened is that ideas started coming to me, and one of them is honey, I decided to try honey on my acne face, I had half a jar of manuka honey at home so I started using it along with baking soda and lemon juice, and imediately I could see a glow. I also had pain in my gum, and have been using OP with some results, but still had soreness with brushing, then today I DECIDED TO USE THE HONEY in place of oil, put a tsp in mouth for about 5 to 10 minutes, then spit it out and brush, wow! no pain or soreness, I also had a bump on my face, i put a dab of honey and went to bed, this money bump gone. I took the honey jar and spoke into it, thanking all the bees that gave me this wonderful product, I thanked the farmers, the store keepers and last but not least this wonderful site, earthclinic. thank you for taking us back to earth, now i know everything works, at the right time with the right attitude. Love always.

I have had terrible problems with teeth and gums since childhood. As an adult it is too expensive to get all the repair work done. So I heard about the oil pulling and thought why not, it can only help. I have been cooking with the high quality organic coconut oil for a year now, so I have some on hand. I tried a tsp this morning because I was afraid it would make me want to gag. But I was surprised it didn't..it did the "pulling" while showering. Which was kind of like patting your head and rubbing your tummy..had to concentrate. So I will do this each morning now to see how it works. It certainly isn't going to hurt anything.Posted by Robin (California, US) on 06/19/2014
1. Oil pulling is best done first thing before brushing your teeth or drinking anything.
2.it is best to do it for 20 minutes.
3. Spit it out in the garbage.
4. Rinse with warm water , brush your teeth and drink water afterwards.
5. Do research on this, don't just listen to chat sites.

My first attempt at oil pulling did not go as well. I really had to do some research to find ways around the need to swallow during the pulling, and how to make the whole process less disgusting. I am going to attempt again this evening---Posted by Nikkie

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] I've been oil pulling over a year. Using varies organic extra virgin oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, evoo, 20 minutes in the morning everyday. The result is great! No more bad breath, aches and pains. sleep better (used to be a light sleeper). No more cracked heels. Overall health improvement except my hair. I have very fine, thin hair and short, and used to be able to shampoo when needed, about twice a week. But after two months of oil pulling, I noticed my hair gets stringing and oily next day after wash, it wasn't dirty, smelly or itchy. it looks awful. my scalp is normal. I've tried all the remedies online recommended. that includes baking soda, acv, and dish detergent, nothing works. it only makes the scalp and hair dry because of the stuffs I used. I use rinse just to help smooth the hair for easy combing, not on the scalp. Does this happen to anyone? Any suggestion?Posted by Jannis (Greece) on 07/31/2013
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Hello everybody at earth clinic. I find your site very helpful and I am addicted to it every day for hours. Before 2 months I had a terible pain in my wisdom tooth, I started immediately oil pulling (after reading about it in this site) and within hours my pain went away. From that day I am oil pulling everyday many times a day, with different high quality oils. My gums are not swollen anymore and I felt better. I am a heavy smoker, and my teeth feel cleaner and whiter now. But my teeth have now many brown stains, (is it beacause they are whiter now?). Some teeth got a bit black like they are rotten, and my breath smell like rot). The last 3 days I feel very under the weather, depression like symptoms (i suffered from depression few years ago). I keep oil pulling in hope that everything is gonna get better. Are these symptoms a side effect of oil pulling? Or is it healing process? Please any similar conditions happened in anybody else? Thank you, I need your guidance.Posted by Timh

1240 Posts@Jannis: Same thing happened to me. Oil Pulling is an effective detox method as well as oral hygiene BUT if one has some type chronic infection or perhaps parasitic infestation, the oil reservoir in the mouth draws those poisons and over-saturates until the mouth and teeth become filthy. In this case, one must always use an antiseptic mouth rinse (natural or synthetic) before and after the oil pull. Hydrogen Peroxide will be one of the mandatory cleaners on your list.
Now, lets back up and treat that chronic infection w/ some natural antibiotic herbs like Garlic, Oregano, Grapefruitseed, Olive Leaf, Pau de Arco, Cats Claw, Oregon Grape Root.
If you get no lasting results from the above list of herbs do a parasite cleanse with Black Walnut Hulls, Clove, and Wormwood.
If you get no lasting results from above, a Colon Cleanse would be advised.Posted by Jannis

Thank you so much for your answer, I was so worried in the thought of quitting oil pulling, as I think it has an overall positive effect on me. I will follow immediately your advice. I have oregano and clove oil available. Shall I add 2-3 drops in the coconut/sesame/olive oil I use for oil pulling everytime? How often shall I use it, and how often should I use hydrogen peroxide as mouth wash? I take good care of my mouth but nothing seems to work (even my gum recession seems worse). I have no pain. Shall I wait for better results soon? or go to the dentist as soon as possible.
Thank you again. Wishing you all the bestPosted by Jannis
3 Posts@Timh, I have both remedies in hand, so I am gonna use them as soon as possible.
I cant help thanking you again, for giving me a prospective continuing oil pulling treatment. I was really stuck what I shall do next.
Of course I will inform you about the progress in my teeth/gum situation. I owe that to you and to everyone in earthclinic community. I wish I will have good news to share. My best regards.Posted by Timh

1240 Posts@Jannis: As for adding herbals to the oil pull, I personally began adding Grapefruitseed Liquid Concentrate to my oil for pulling with very good results. After about 15 or 20 pulls the infection in the gums seems mostly gone so I am now cutting way back on the Grapefruitseed. Same with Hydrogen Peroxide; after about 10 swishes with 3% H2O2 (one a day) the need drops to maybe once per weak.
As for infections, the most likely culprit is Candida or Fungal so there is lots of info on treating that here on E.C., but hopefully the herbs I suggested will work fine for you. Extracts will be best.
Your gratitude is most appreciated and do keep us updated as to your progress.Posted by Jannis
3 PostsHello, to everybody. As I mentioned, I've been oil pulling with different oil (coconut, olive, sesame) for nearly three months now, and I really love it. The problem is that I noticed heavy gum recession and dark stains in my teeth (between teeth and the inside sides on my front teeth)
The dark stains must have come from nicotine and nothing seems to remove them.
I am also drinking AVC, 2 tbsp twice daily also for 3 months
I tried what @timh suggested swishing with peroxide and grapefruit seed extract for 2 weeks but it has not worked satisfactory. (My teeth seem a little whiter but the stains are still there and gum recession is worsening). Thank you very much @Timh for your interest I hope you have another method for me to try :).
Now I am gonna quit Acv, to see if that had something to do with my problems. I am gonna keep oil pulling and gonna keep swishing with peroxide. I don't wanna go to the dentist, I will keep trying solve the problem with home remedies.
Sorry for the long post. Wishing you all the best. Any ideas would be appreciated for fighting the stains and recessionPosted by Mama To Many

665 PostsDear Jannis, I am not sure about the stains... But I have something that I am trying for receding gums that seems to be working. I have one tooth from which the gum has been receding for a decade or two. I started using a homemade tooth powder for brushing twice a day. (I don't use toothpaste, just the powder.) My receding gum is looking less receded. I am hopeful that it will be fully healed over time.
Here is my recipe:
1 part myrrh gum powder
1 part black walnut powder
1/2 part cayenne pepper
1/2 part goldenseal root powder
I mix it up and put my damp toothbrush in it and brush. It doesn't taste good and feels very spicy the first few times. But now it feels refreshing to me and my mouth feels very clean. Black walnut is very good for the enamel of your teeth. The cayenne brings the blood for healing (Don't floss right after brushing or you will bleed!) The goldenseal helps with infection. Myrrh is antiseptic. You could do just mix equal parts of cayenne and goldenseal root or even just brush with cayenne. Lalitha Thomas, in her book, Ten Essential Herbs recommends that last two things for receding gums and has found them to be effective.
I have read the brushing with activated charcoal powder is good for whitening teeth. You could add one part of that to the mix. I have done that in the past, but it really makes a mess of the sink, even worse than the above recipe. Let us know what helps you!

1240 PostsYou must first remedy the problem of toxicity in the body and the first place to begin is the colon. Do a colon cleanse and you must improve; here's a link: http://earthclinic.com/cures/colon-cleansing.html.
If you were or are a smoker, you will also need to cleanse the lungs. The single most effective way to accomplish this is nebulizing hydrogen peroxide. The H2O2 oxidizes that black tar on contact.
I had one front tooth to become noticiably stained and the general 3% H2O2 swishing didn't clear so I began applying 35% H2O2 w/ a cotton swab. It's time consuming but 5 or 10 min a day for a week cleared my stain quite effectively.
Hope this helps.Posted by Blistered (Chicago, Il) on 02/27/2013
[SIDE EFFECTS] I tried oil pulling for the first time this morning using Meditteranean blend oil, which contains soya, sunflower and extra virgin olive oil. I did this before eating and drinking anything. I swished for 20 mins. , then rinsed with warm water, brushed my teeth and drank three glasses of water. It is now evening and I now have blisters in my mouth. Never had them before. Has this happened to someone else? Am I swishing too long, using wrong oil?? What can I do to avoid getting blisters. Thank you!!Posted by Cat

48 PostsI had this once when I used sunflower oil and when I switched to virgin coconut oil, I have not had this problem again. I will say, when I eat sunflower seeds, I get a rash around my mouth. I think perhaps that I may be allergic to sunflower seed and oil. If I were you, once my mouth healed, I would go with testing one oil at a time until I found one that did not cause blisters. Many recommend starting with sesame.Posted by Lee (Lake Wylie, Sc, Usa) on 01/04/2012
I would like to thank Earth Clinic and Ted for such a wonderful site. Earth Clinic has changed my life literally! Thank you!
I started Oil Pulling about 5 days ago and let me tell you immediately My clogged up sinuses cleared up drastically! I have lived with stopped up sinuses and all the misery that comes with it for years! Not breathing, constantly trying to clear my throat, just awful. So when I started oil pulling, I could not believe it, I can breathe again! Everyday it has gotten better and better! I started with Coconut oil and alternate with sesame and sunflower oil. I oil pull 2 times a day sometimes 3. I do not take prescription medicine, never ever! I do not believe in the traditional methods of healing anymore. Because the side effects of the medicine are worse than the benefits. Any prescribed medicine I have ever known about is just to treat the symptoms not heal. Home remedies heal! I have not been to the doctor in years because everything I take is natural. I have completely converted over to a hollistic natural way of living.
I recently took my daughter to the emergency room because she hit her head and I was concerned. The nurse asked if she had her flu shot for the season and I said no we do not get flu shots, we choose natural methods. She looked at me like I was crazy. That is ok because we never get sick! By the way, after the doctor looked at her for 20 seconds and did not allow me to ask any questions, the emergency room bill was 1200.00! Ridiculous!

1240 PostsLee, the flu-shot question was quite inappropriate, but the medical industry has the clout to push their agendas on we general public; so it is not wise to be point blank on something like this. I would have said something like "Oh yes, we've been considering that but have not yet made a decision". Rick Perry down in Tx lost his Pres bid on his cervical cancer vaccine mandate for girls not of age or at risk. Obamacare insurance mandate, same thing; loss of peoples/patients choices.
The nurse was just following protocol and pushing the big profits agenda. I had an endocrinologist interrogate me of my medical history concerning several different doctors, and several yrs agone, and their treatment recommendations to the point that I shut my lips and prepared to walk out of the office. It's not about public health (choices), it is about corporate profits! Be very careful how you vote, because health care choices and freedoms are, to some degree, under attack.

01/05/2012I could not agree more with Timh -
The flu shot question from the MD's office was out of line. It seems that last year (and this year especially) the medical community - ie big Pharma and the Government - have been SHOVING the flu shots at us like our lives DEPENDED upon receiving them.
They DO NOT.
Research the stats on if the flu shot is effective. You will pull up something like "There is a 62% chance that the flu shot in any given year will be effective".
PLEASE, Dig deeper.... read more....
Statistics being what they are, they are molded to the needs of the person or conglomerate who has a vested interest in convincing you that you need their product.
In fact, the flu shot has about a 12% chance of protecting you. You will find this to be true if you read enough about it, and how the statistics are read / formulated.
Ask yourself if the CRAP in those shots is worth the benefit they MAY provide.
I say emphatically - NO, they are NOT.
Sidebar: My neighborhood Safeway grocery store just constructed a brand new, and very LARGE enclosed room off of the pharmacy for the sole purpose of giving flu shots. We all know how valuable grocery store floor space is. I figure they plan on giving a LOT of flu shots.
This crap makes me insane. No offense to the mentally ill.... I truly do feel insane at times with what is going on in the medical field. It is SO WRONG.
Okay, off the soap box. Thank you for listening to my rant if you have read this far.
Have a wonderful and very healthy day!

114 PostsI too have been driven absolutely crazy by the efforts of the medical community and government with the flu shot. I am recieving pamphlets in the mail for goodness sakes. I am sick to death of them making people believe that if you don't get it you are inconsiderate and dumb... Grrrr. Don't believe the hype. I have gotten a total of 2 flu shots in my life and both did nothing but make me sicker. My kids have never had one and I will never get them one. Back when my two oldest were little and in daycare they did not allow children to get flu shots at all.

Not to mention the shot only covers a couple of specific strains and often the flu that comes around is a noncovered strain. They are a waste if you ask me. I take 5000 units a day. I started with a 1000 and worked my way up. My doctor tests my levels with a blood test just to make sure I need it.Posted by Letitia (Halifax, Nova Scotia) on 03/07/2011
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Hey! I have some feedback and a question. I've been Oil pulling with EVOO and Pure Sunflower Oil for 5 days now. I know it's suppose to be Cold-pressed, I'm working on it. I read a blog entry on oil pulling, and how it helped with whitening teeth and over all oral health. I thought BINGO! My prayers have been answered. I have soft teeth, and get cavities pretty easy. I started to do my research before trying it and found this site. I am happy to say that in just 5 days of oil pulling my skin is softer, my teeth are whiter, my mouth feels clean longer, my breath smells good, and I feel more alive!
I did get some detox side effects, like headaches and nausea, but that's about it. The only other problem I'm having while oil pulling is pain in my teeth. I took this to reduce the pain not increase it. Also weird discomfort in the back of my throat. I'm wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing? does anyone know what I should do, whether I should stop the oil pulling, is it making my teeth worse? I don't know.Posted by Blanche

03/07/2011Well, I don't know about why it would make your teeth hurt, but I also get an irritated feeling in my throat when the Virgin Coconut Oil touches it. Just make sure you don't get it back into your throat when you pull, and also if you eat it, eat it with food and it won't irritate your throat.Posted by Bluebelle (Various, EU) on 03/04/2011
[NAY] Hello,
what I'd like to know is why I never get any sort of effect, bad or good, after oil pulling.
I have been doing this on and off (mostly "off" :)) for five years now. I've used mostly cold pressed sesame oil for periods of 10 days or so, and coconut oil for periods lasting a week or so.
I kept swishing it around my mouth for half an hour every day.
Now, I know that a week or 10 days is an awfully short time... But after reading many testimonies, here and elsewhere, I've noticed that people started noticing effects right away or after a few days, at the latest.
In fact, the only reason I stopped doing it was because of a total lack of effects, bad or good.
I am very attuned to my body, so I would have noticed even subtle changes.
And I always buy high quality oils (and everything else), so it couldn't have been that.
It is true that I appear to be very healthy. I haven't had a cold since 1999, haven't been to a doctor's office since the early 1980s, have no aches or pains, very good skin and hair, and apparently look more than 10 years younger than I am (I know this because I've actually overheard people talking about me ; )).
But I find it difficult to believe that there would be no toxins in me, because I've been smoking 30 cigarettes a day for years now. :)
I do not cough or anything, my skin looks fabulous, but I am sure there is something that could come out in the open, if oil pulling really works, even after only a week or 10 days?
Anyway, I am going to give it another try starting today. I'll be using unrefined coconut oil. I intend to post again in a few weeks.Posted by Gean

03/06/2011Try oil pulling for only 10 minutes with virgin coconut oil, then spit it out, rinse your mouth well, and drink a quart of warm water. I read somewhere that if you swish for too long the toxins are reabsorbed into your system.Posted by Mary
05/04/2013You wrote that you "swished" the oil. Oil pulling requires that you "chew" the oil like food. Give that a try for a week and see what happens. Blessings, MaryPosted by Jtk (Independence, Missouri) on 02/22/2011
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] I have been pulling oil for about six weeks & though I'm not cured, my condition is dramatically better than on any previous day over the past 10 years.
I first heard of oil pulling in Dr Ott's column in our local newspaper, I then looked it up on the web. I bought a bottle of sesame oil at the grocery that tasted awful as it was pure but toasted. I misremembered what I'd quickly read/scanned on the web and bought a big bottle of safflower oil at a local health food store and started using it. I immediately began to see results and within a week or so my mouth was mostly healed up. The first time in over ten years without constant pain.
Enjoying such remarkable results I started reading more about oil pulling and realized that sunflower not safflower was the preferred oil. The next time I visited the health food store I picked up big bottles of sesame and sunflower and a bottle of hemp oil. I began pulling three times a day, with the very delicious hemp mid-day, in a couple of days I suddenly had day long diarrhea every 30-40 minutes followed by a half day of the same. I quit the hemp oil and my stool firmed up. I continued twice a day alternating between the sesame and sunflower, then I went to once a day first with sesame for a few days then sunflower for a few days all the while my old symptoms were resurfacing though not nearly so virulently. I then decided to revert to the safflower oil that seemed to have done so much good at first and my mouth seems better by the day; not perfect but lots better. Once a day seems sufficient though I sometimes pull at bedtime as well as morning.
My point here is that different oils definitely do different things and those things may differ with the individual. There is no question in my mind as to the power of oil pulling.
To give some idea of my condition:
I have had clinically diagnosed (biopsy) oral lichen planus which has persisted and worsened for more than 10 years. Modern medical science can only offer steroids to lessen symptoms (and the one med- pack I took didn't help at all) or oral steroid ointments, that also did no good. Alternative medicine offers three basic cures that list different countries of origin but all mail out of Pakistan, modest benefit if any. Limiting spicy and acidic foods helped slightly. Various homeopathic, vitamin, colloidal silver and nutritional protocols weren't helpful. A tea tree oil mouthwash did about as much as anything. For much of the time brushing my teeth was out of the question.
My condition has been a never ending series of almost healing for a few days followed by blisters that cover the inside of the cheeks and over the gums which burst and then peel in layers for days & weeks on end keeping the inside of my mouth raw to the point it hurt to drink water and it hurt even more when eating. As I write this I can still find sore spots in my mouth, but I have to seek them out. I am noticing other changes like smelling things I haven't smelled in years.
I am only 6 weeks into this we'll see how it is in 12. JTKPosted by Dagmar

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Hi,
I just wanted to submit some feedback: I've been doing oil pulling for 2 months. In the first few weeks, I slept much better, and had a cleared up feminine problem. This is notable. I started the first month on organic unrefined sesame oil. The next month, I went to organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. Just this week I started with organic refined sunflower oil.
I am coming upon the third month oil pulling, and I seem to have some sort of gland issue: I sweat profusely, especially my feet and underarms, and am having a small odour problem.
Just this week, I have had swollen lymph nodes under my arms. It is painful, and I have been trying not to wear tight clothes till it goes down. I have had this a couple years ago, but not as bad as now. I feel some sort of inflamatory pain in almost all my lymph area- neck, groin as well.
I read how for this problem, you can take 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a glass of water, with some sea salt. I did that for two days, and nothing happened. I then did just baking soda, for three more days, and still nothing. Except that my face seemed to glow after I took it.
I wanted to share these things. I love remedies for health, ayurevedic cures, and "potions". Thanks for the site, it is a gem.

Glad to see you've committed yourself to this alternative treatment however I felt it was important that I point something out to you.
Many professionals who treat with alternative remedies for example homeopathic doctors, will tell you that anyone who has been using conventional medication/treatments for a long period of time will have accumulated symptoms over symptoms. Basically creating one symptom to mask over another. This is how the pharmaceutical companies treat the ill. They don't CURE the patient, instead they remove the symptom and this usually creates new symptoms which they call side-effects. Side-effects is a clever word because in reality they are just EFFECTS, nothing more, nothing less. These EFFECTS keep the profits coming in. Anyone who has been using conventional treatments for a long period of time will have accumulated many, many, MANY symptoms which are all a follow on symptoms from an original problem they had. Even if they seem completely unrelated this is still the case.
So, as you mentioned in your post, you now have painful lymph nodes under your arms and you say you USED to have this problem before but not as bad as you do now. Well, the way I'm interpreting this is you have managed to get yourself BACK to the original problem where all your medical problems stem from. My advice would be to now visit a homeopathic doctor and explain your full situation because you will now need a homeopathic doctor to cure your Lymph nodes. Once these are cured you will have freed yourself from the pharmaceutical practices. In a sense, you should be incredibly happy that this Oil Pulling has restored your health, located and singled-out your original SOURCE problem.
Nobody but you can make the next choice but if I was you I would stay away from the pharmaceutical treatments because they will just do the same all over again. They may make your Lymph nodes disappear faster but they are NOT curing them by any stretch of the imagination... Instead they will just replace this symptom with another and keep building and building on it with more and more problems.
It all makes perfect sense when you understand. Because you never cured you Lymph nodes when you last had them, they never really went away and over time they have gotten worse. They may not of been visible to you because the pharma companies just hid them from you and gave you other symptoms to worry about instead. Its so so sad when you think about all the people who rely on them for good heath. These people will NEVER get back their peak health until they manage to reverse all the symptoms they've ever had to get back to the SOUCE problem.
People are not supposed to be sick or ill, naturally, this is supposed to be very rare but the public's heath has become a profit based business and they want people to think that being sick/ill is very common and perfectly normal. Speak to any indigenous person about this and they will paint a very VERY different truth for you. :-)
Keep up with the OIL PULLING because now your lymph nodes have returned and reared their ugly head again, this will now begin to fight them so by continuing with this and seeking advice from a homeopathic doctor, you will finally get back your well deserved good health and rid yourself of the evil big pharma's pyramid of symptoms... Actually, very quickly, that's a brilliant way of explaining what conventional medicine does! Picture a reversed pyramid with your medical problem at the bottom point, the pharmaceutical companies push their patients further and further up the pyramid making their symptoms broader and broader. Can you picture it? Its very wrong isn't it? Almost Evil really!
I hope I've helped you :-)

8 PostsI could not agree more with Richard from UK about the effects of pharmaceutical treatments. (Also, it was good to find that there was much focus on the effects of the highest selling pharmaceuticals in the US in the US news today: The mainstream seems to wake up! )
And, about the lymph nodes - seeking a homeopath is a very good advice.
I would like to add that I have found two excellent things that seems to help very much regarding lymphatic drainage (in addition to many other benefits. ) The first is a good rebounder, the second is what's called a chi machine.
There are many good rebounders to choose from.
First I would educate myself by doing a google search for "rebounder benefits" or "rebounder lymphatic drainage".
You may do similar google searches for benefits of chi machine.
It's wise to have an open mind - combined with healthy a skepticism.
Anyway, having personally tried both a rebounder and a chi machine, I found that they are both very effective.
And, please continue oil pulling, my favourite for over 19 years!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City has settled a lawsuit in which the federal government accused it of improperly reducing retirement benefits for current and former police officers who served in the military after September 11, 2001.
The settlement announced by Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan calls for pension benefits to be calculated in accordance with a 1994 federal law designed to protect the rights of civilian employees who are called to active duty.
The settlement requires court approval.

Woodworker's Journal
What else is a woodworker supposed to do? Well, Amana Tool has an answer and one that many of us hobbyists may not even know exists: Just unscrew the damaged cutter or cutters and bolt in a replacement. How about that for a change? Amana makes this possible, thanks to three lines of router bits that feature insert tooling. You save the bit, extend your tool investment and, once the cutter is screwed in place, are back to routing again. It's just that easy.
John McInerney, vice president of sales and marketing at Amana, says insert tooling of this sort is nothing new. Industry has been using it for decades, because it makes such simple sense. "You don't want the downtime that goes along with shutting down a machine to completely change its tooling and re-adjusting it again, or the expense of replacing both the bit's tool body and the cutter. Changing just the knives is the way to go."
Amana has been engineering insert tooling for industry for more than 20 years and quality router bits for professional and home shops for even longer. The company was founded in 1973 as a cutter manufacturer for woodworking. "When woodworking started to shift from using stationary shapers to handheld routers, Amana made that transition as well. In terms of manufacturing high quality brazed router bits, we've been a leader in the industry all along. In addition, we've been an OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturer] bit supplier to many of the major power tool labels for many years."
The company also makes premium saw blades, shaper cutters, boring bits and planer knives.
McInerney suggested several reasons why Amana retains a dominant position among its router bit competitors. One has to do with material quality. "We know exactly where all of our raw materials are sourced, so we control that factor of production very carefully and select from among the best sources around the world." Then there's bit design. "We start with a single piece of steel rod and turn it down to the body you see, as opposed to casting the body from some other metal. That adds durability, balance and longevity to the bit."
John says Amana is also able to maintain levels of inventory that are larger than some other suppliers, which makes the company better able to react on short notice. "When we commit to make something new
to expand our product lines, we commit to it wholeheartedly; we make it in quantities of thousands, not hundreds, so backorders aren't an issue. We ship immediately and completely to fulfill distributor orders, and we make our products so that they can be easily re-sharpened and serviced."
The company's decision to bring insert-style router bits to small production and home woodworking shops happened just a few years ago, but the reasoning is quite practical. John explains that by eliminating the brazing process to attach a cutter to the tool body, Amana is able to use much harder carbide. Harder grades of carbide already exist that can retain an edge longer than conventional router bit carbide, but with increased hardness comes more brittleness. Brazing harder carbide increases the chances of breaking it in the process. If the cutter simply fastens in place on the bit body, brazing heat is a nonissue. McInerney says that the carbide of Amana's inserts is as much as five times harder than conventional brazed carbide. In addition to improved edge retention, harder carbide also helps the insert bits retain better balance, because premature edge wear can introduce vibration. He feels insert bits are actually safer to use in handheld routers for that reason.
Amana offers three lines of insert router bits. Its In-Tech line most closely resembles the bits we use already. Nine different bit styles, including roundovers, coves, straights, flush-trimmers, rabbet and ogees, are available with 1/4-in. shanks. Either one or two cutters fasten to the bit body with Torx screws. Those bits with straight
profiles actually have two sharpened edges, for double the life before the cutter needs to be replaced. While the initial cost for In-Tech bits is 10 to 20 percent higher than conventional brazed bits, the replacement cutters are a fraction of the cost of buying a new bit. An In-Tech flush-trim bit, for instance, lists for $37 complete; the replacement cutter pair costs $15. A rabbeting bit goes for $39.50; the replacement knives are $12 per pair.
In-Groove, Amana's second line of insert bits, is geared more toward small CNC machine use. Here, instead of a machined body on the bit that determines the cutting profile, a 1/4- or 1/2-in. straight shank accepts up to 40 different knife profiles. A single Allen screw locks the knife to the shank. The carbide formulation is unique for In-Groove bits: since the knife profile stands completely unsupported by a steel body, the carbide must be flexible enough to take a load on its own without breaking. In-Groove bits are made in various engraving points, straight and core box edges, as well as corner round and beading knives. Certain In-Groove knife profiles, McInerney reports, "can't even be accomplished with brazed bits." While they are designed for CNC application, In-Groove bits are also suitable for handheld routing. Packaged 8-piece sets of a tool body with a selection of cutters is available, as are single shanks with a specific cutter style. Amana can also mill custom In-Groove profiles for you with a 10-piece minimum order.
Nova bits, a third insert line, more closely resemble In-Tech bits, with one big exception: here, pairs of blades lock onto the bit body with a gap in between them; the empty space facilitates improved chip clearance and expulsion. John says the empty space is beneficial by imposing less drag on the bit during cutting, a much more aggressive rate of stock removal for faster feeding, and a superior cut edge. Another unique feature of Nova bits is that the bodies of some styles can accept multiple cutter shapes. You can change the bit's profile by simply swapping in a different cutter. Amana offers 40 styles of Nova cutters, which lock in place between top and bottom mounts with a screw. A notch on the blades and the design of the bit body ensure perfect knife registration, and the blades can only mount one way. Profiles include both edge-forming and plunging shapes.
McInerney reports that Amana's three insert bit lines are still being used more by production shops than "Joe and Jane Lunchbucket" woodworkers, but he says that "serious hobbyists" are also discovering them and making the switch. And, as small-shop CNC machines continue to grow in popularity, so should the market for insert bits. Regardless of how things go from here, though, John confirms that Amana has no intention of eventually moving away from conventional router bits. "We're too committed to them, and change happens very slowly in the tooling business...We'll always make brazed bits."
But, bringing the convenience and cost-saving possibilities of insert tooling into the hobbyist marketplace was a logical move for Amana. According to John, you could even say it was an eventual obligation. "We've got so much hard data from the industrial CNC side that reinforces the benefits of replaceable cutters...It would be a mistake for us not to apply these benefits to the hobbyist woodworking market as well."

Which Oil Rig Stock Should You Buy?
Rupert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The world will always need more oil, and as the oil fields that are easy to access run dry, the world will have to go to more extreme places to find it. Oil companies are now dependent upon the expertise of professional oil rig companies to run the drilling and extraction operations that they are no longer able to conduct themselves.
But where to invest to play this long term trend?
Well firstly it would be helpful to find out what the rig situation around the world is like.
This is the global rig count, as supplied by Baker Hughes. I can see that the global rig count is falling in some area's but rising in others - overall the count is remaining relatively stable.
It is also handy to know the cost of oil rigs, as this could be a deciding factor in where to invest. Offshore oil rigs can cost up to $500,000 per day, whereas onshore truck-based rigs can cost as little as $1,000. This will lead to higher margins for off shore drilling companies and lower margins and income for those companies who drill onshore.
So who are the main players?
There are four main players in this industry who I will be comparing.
Transocean (NYSE: RIG)
Rig Fleet:
- Ultra –Deepwater – 27
- Deepwater – 16
- Harsh Environment Floaters - 5
- Midwater Floaters - 25
- High Specification Jackups - 9 Plus 4 New Builds
- Standard Jackups - 51
- Swamp Barge - 1
Helmerich & Payne (NYSE: HP)
Rig Fleet:
In US
- Land rigs - 28
- Offshore rigs - 9
Outside US
- Rigs - 29
Rowan (NYSE: RDC)
Rig Fleet:
- 31 - Jack-up rigs
- 4 - Drillships (under construction)
Nabours (NYSE: NBR)
Rig Fleet:
- 4 - Barge rigs
- 12 – Jack up rigs
- 40- Platforms
- 521 - Land drilling rigs
- 607 - Land work over rigs
Instantly, Transocean comes out as the bigger player in the group, with the largest fleet of deep water rigs. Although both Nabours and Helmerich have bigger rig fleets, the majority of their fleets are land based, which of course means less revenue.
Order Pipeline
It's handy to know what to expect from these companies over the next few years in terms of revenue. Due to the high cost of oil rigs, drilling needs to be planned in advance. This produces a backlog, which helps identify future demand and profits.
Transocean's strength again shows through in its order backlog. The significantly higher revenues commanded by its offshore fleet has led to a huge order backlog.
This strength also shows through with Rowan, who has the second biggest backlog, although it's significantly smaller than Transocean's.
Nabour's poor order backlog really shows the effect the mostly land based fleet is having on the company. Helmerich and Payne have the third biggest backlog, and although it does have a significant amount of its fleet onshore, it has some offshore drilling vessels. These offshore vessels really pull in the revenue.
What about the profitabiltiy of these companies? Do the high daily rates demanded for oil rigs translate into profits for the companies?
The quality of the rig fleets does show through into the companies' margins. Transocean has a bad gross margin this year due to its settlement over the Gulf of Mexico spill. Transocean's net margin shows the company's strengths, as this comes in at a very strong 22.4%. Helmerich's large fleet and combination of onshore and offshore rigs contributes to a strong margin as well. This is the opposite of Nabours, whose high onshore rig fleet provides very poor margins. Both Transocean and HP have decent gross margins that translate through to the bottom line, and give net margins better than the group average.
Oil rigs are expensive, and usually companies would have to borrow to fund the costs of building one. So how do the financials of these companies stack up?
Surprisingly, all of these companies had solid balance sheets. Transocean appears to have the weakest, with a gearing level of 90%. The company does have a quick ratio of 1.5, so it has plenty of liquidity on its balance sheet. Helmerich & Payne offers the best balance sheet, gearing is around 10%, and the quick ratio is above 2, offering lots of liquidity to cover sudden shocks. Rowan and Nabours both offer relatively good levels of gearing and high quick ratios. All the companies appear to be very solid financially.
Growth rates and valuation ratios
The last deciding factor I am looking at is the growth rates of the companies and their financial ratios, to determine which of these stocks looks to be a good investment.
Overall, growth rates are pretty mixed. Transocean has been significantly affected by the Gulf of Mexico disaster, but this is now behind the company so I would expect a significant improvement in the company's earnings over the next few years - as is highlighted in next year's predicted EPS growth rate. The most stable growth rates stem from Helmerich & Payne. Both Rowan and Nabours lag the group and have provided very erratic growth rates, both past and present.
On a valuation basis, the cheapest stock appears to be Helmerich & Payne (there is a trend developing) and Transocean, although Transocean does trade on a lower price to book ratio. Rowan looks relatively expensive based on its price-earnings multiple, however, the stock is still trading below its book cost, signifying the stock is cheap. Nabours is placed right in the middle - an average valuation but a discount to book. Despite this average valuation, the other issues the company is facing makes the stock look overpriced.
Overall each stock has its own merits. However, the two stocks I want to keep away from are Rowan and Nabours. Nabours has too much uncertainty facing it right now as the company grapples with lower on shore US drilling rates, a high debt level, and floundering share price. Rowan, on the other hand, looks to be ok as a company and is trading at a discount to book, but the company needs to generate more cash to provide proper investor returns. Both Transocean and Helmerich & Payne are my two picks. Transocean is the world leader, and now that it has the Gulf of Mexico issue behind it it should really make progress. Helmerich, on the other hand, is smaller, but the company is still in great shape, margins are high, debt is the lowest in the group, and the backlog is strong. Overall I believe Helmerich & Payne is the rig stock to buy.

Gender issues weren't really a concern when I played Zelda back in the day. Link, the main character in the classic Nintendo game, was just a blob on the screen with a sword and a shield -- Link was more an "it" than a "he" or a "she." But these days, with all dem der fancy technological advances, it's evident on the new Zelda games (as I'm learning) that Link is a boy. He's a he, and one dad isn't thrilled about.
After Mike Hoye tried fruitlessly to change the pronouns on the screen from male to female to help his daughter visualize herself as the heroic Link, he did what only awesome, feminist dads would do: he hacked into Zelda and made Link a girl.
Here's how he described it on his blog:
You can pick your character's name, of course — I always stick with Link, being a traditionalist — but all of the dialog insists that Link is a boy, and there's apparently nothing to be done about it.
Well, there wasn't anything to be done about it, certainly not anything easy, but as you might imagine I'm not having my daughter growing up thinking girls don't get to be the hero and rescue their little brothers.
Stop it. How thoughtful and loving and determined is this guy?
In case you're some tech wizard, or know one, Hoye details how to switch Link from a girl to a boy in step-by-step instructions, but be forewarned. It's mucho complicated. He lost me in the first paragraph where he uses such big time tech words like "GameCube" and "download."
In any event, this story just warms my heart. Little girls can be named Link, little girls can rescue the good guys from the dragons, and little girls can be heroes.
Onward! (Raises sword and shield, sticks out elfin shoe, and starts to march.)
How sweet is this?

Aww that's so incredibly cute. I could totally see my husband doing something like this if we had a daughter lol.
I love it! I'm pretty sure every computer hero I ever played in my youth (and there were many) was supposed to be a boy/man. I just ignored it, but you're right. These days it's harder to ignore, though usually you do have a choice.
awww that is so cool i wouldnt mind playing linkette rescues zeldar
Very sweet... The problem with video games & girls are the females are sluty compared to the males..
I currently lay a MMO online.. If I put on an outfit, its very slutty, not alot of "armor".. If my DH puts it on his male character, he actually is fully covered & looks like he could enter "battle"..
umm hate to be the party pooper but their are plenty of games with heroine rather then a hero metroid,Toomb riader , ect. all finalfantisy games have strong female charaters and most have playable female charaters most of them in a mian roll , and almost all newer rpgs let you chose weather to be male or female
Robon, that's true, but as MommaTasha said, female heroes tend to look very slutty, with super-skimpy outfits and so forth. It's always been very annoying to me.
almost none of the Final fantisy games have any charaters in slutty cloths and samus (metroid) is in full body armer
Why must we erase boys so girls can feel powerful? There is nothing wrong with it being a male character (and you would have to have been an idiot back in the day to not know Link was a boy), it is a game, it doesn't represent real life because I have yet to meet a boy or girl who has gone on missions to rescue a princess.

The Montgomery Police Department is confirming the arrest of two people in connection with the city's 20th homicide of 2013. That homicide occurred around 3 a.m. on Sunday, April 14 in the 3000 block of Southmall Circle.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found 31-year-old James Scott dead in a parking lot.
Authorities are only identifying one suspect at this time, Dominic Manuel Gaiter, who was captured in Selma through a joint effort with the Montgomery and Selma police departments as well as the U.S. Marshals Service.
Selma Police Chief William T. Riley III said law enforcement acted on information that indicated Gaiter was possibly inside a vacant house in the 200 block of 10th Avenue.
Chief Riley said the suspect was taken into custody without incident and was immediately transported back to Montgomery.
Gaiter has now been charged with one count of murder in connection with Scott's death. He is being held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility on $75,000 bond.
MPD's initial investigation indicates Scott's death was the result of an argument.
WSFA 12 News will include additional details on the arrests as they become available.

There is an escalating need to curtail rising expenditures on health care, of which the payment of physicians, and expenses controlled or influenced by physicians, are key drivers.
The National Commission on Physician Payment Reform was formed to assess how and how much doctors get paid, as well as potential impacts of proposed healthcare payment models such as accountable care organizations (ACOs), patient-centered medical homes and value-based purchasing. The Commission adopted 12 recommendations for reforming physician payment that help constrain costs and optimize care.
The Commission has re-issued its report in September 2014 in order to urge Congress to continue their work toward a repeal of the Sustainable Growth Rate.
The Commission issued its recommendations on how to reform the physician payment system in March 2013.

The bleeding episodes, sometimes spurred by the simplest things—merely leaning over a plate to eat or bending forward, for instance—were as unpredictable as they were prolonged.
But thanks to cutting-edge treatment from doctors in a new HHT Program at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, Deb's nosebleeds have diminished significantly. An innovative therapy of nasal-spray doses of bevacizumab, a cancer drug that restricts blood supply to tumors, spurred the dramatic turnaround. She receives bevacizumab treatments every six to nine weeks.
"I'm doing things I haven't done for years," Deb said. "I went to Hawaii recently and could swim and snorkel. It was amazing."
HHT affects one of every 5,000 people, mostly Caucasians. It's caused by a gene mutation that creates malformed blood vessels that lack the structure and durability required to prevent bleeding, said David Poetker, MD, MA, Medical College of Wisconsin otolaryngologist and the program co-director.
"Bleeding can occur virtually anywhere, but certain areas are more prone, such as the nose, lungs, and GI tract," Dr. Poetker said. "It can be just a nuisance or, in more severe cases, life threatening. It can have a huge impact on quality of life and overall health because victims are often chronically anemic, which puts a strain on the heart. They also get fatigued easily because their blood counts are so low." Often misdiagnosed, the disease is incurable, but can be managed.
"We can temporarily improve symptoms, but we can't cure it," he said.
The disease also is perplexing because it varies in severity from person to person and generation to generation, Dr. Poetker noted. Some people bleed so profusely they require blood transfusions.
"It is passed from parent to offspring, but the severity may vary widely between the two," he explained. "A parent may have such a mild case they don't even know they have it, while a child may have a very severe case."
First-degree relatives have a 50 percent chance of being afflicted with HHT. As such, a correct diagnosis is important so family members can be notified and tested, said William Rilling, MD, Medical College of Wisconsin interventional radiologist and program co-director.
"The HHT Foundation International (www.hht.org) is trying to raise the level of awareness of this disease because there are preventable complications, such as stroke and brain hemorrhage," Dr Rilling said. "Screening for the disorder is fairly straight-forward: a brain MRI scan to find arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the brain and bubble-enhanced echocardiogram study to find AVMs in the lungs. We want to find those and treat them before something catastrophic happens."
A local HHT program makes sense because primary care providers often aren't equipped to provide the level of care necessary to manage the disease, said Dr. Poetker, noting that Froedtert doctors already tend to more than two dozen HHT patients.
"A lot of patients in the community bounce around and see doctors who may not know how to care for all aspects of HHT, so receiving coordinated care is a big component," Dr. Poetker said. "A lot of doctors don't want to care for HHT patients because it's hard to manage…there's no cure. It's very frustrating for patients and providers."
"People receive better treatment from specialists," Dr. Rilling said. "Our center's multi-disciplinary team includes 15 to 20 different specialists, which is important because the disease's manifestations are so variable, ranging from a minor nosebleed every couple weeks to organ damage and hemorrhaging. We have the people and expertise in place to handle the entire continuum of the disease."
In addition, there are only 12 specialized treatment centers nationwide, and the two closest to Milwaukee aren't exactly conveniently located: one at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and the other at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin is in the application process to become recognized by the International HHT Foundation as a Center of Excellence.
Moreover, specialized centers can offer therapies that regular physicians cannot, Dr. Poetker pointed out.
"I don't know of anyone else locally who's using bevacizumab topically," he said, noting Deb's treatment. "Centers are more willing to try new and cutting-edge therapies like bevacizumab, which acts by preventing the abnormal blood vessels from forming."
Dr. Poetker said the program is applying for grant that would fund a clinical study to prove how well bevacizumab works. If a study shows statistically that bevacizumab works, insurance companies would be more willing to cover the cost of the drug.
Bevacizumab is a life-changing drug for Deb, whose paternal grandmother was diagnosed with HHT in her mid-70s. Deb first started experiencing nosebleeds when she was pregnant with her first child in the mid-1980s and was diagnosed with HHT. Back then, doctors treated the severe nosebleeds with nasal cauterizations; Deb estimates she's had more than 100 such procedures.
"My doctor thought things would improve after delivery, but they didn't," she recalled. "I had cauteries about every three months. Then I got pregnant within a year after our first child, and things got worse. I had nosebleeds just about every day.
"They'd just start and you can't stop them," she noted. "It was difficult. You'd be at work and they'd start in. After my second child, I could have up to three or four a day."
Fearing that too many cauterizations would eventually burn a hole in her nose, Deb's physician sent her to Boston for laser treatments, which disintegrate malformed blood vessels and leave minimal scarring. From about 1987 to 1994, she traveled to Boston every nine months or so for treatments.
Then she heard that Charles Harkins, MD, FACS, an otolaryngologist at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin and specialist in the HHT Program, was working with a more specialized laser treatment, as well as chemical cauterizations. Those treatments, however, ran their course by 2009 when Deb ended up with a hole in her nose.
"Things were getting very tough," she said. "I was having trouble doing even the most basic things. I couldn't lean over or eat without a nosebleed. I was becoming anemic, too. Sometimes I hemorrhaged so much I needed blood transfusions. We actually talked about sewing my nose shut to stop any airflow and give the nose a rest.
"I kept on working, but I'd come to work with my nose packed," she added. "I was very careful about what I did and carried a nosebleed kit with me all the time. I knew we had to do something, because I couldn't keep working and living like that. That's when Dr. Harkins agreed we could give bevacizumab a try."
Initially, Deb took the drug intravenously, one dose every two weeks over the course of eight weeks, followed by a three-month wait in between treatments. She received those treatments from August 2009 through June 2010. Then she started taking treatments topically via a nasal spray, which eliminates the significant side effects associated with intravenous treatments. The effect was dramatic.
"My life is completely different now," she explained. "Until you look back, you don't realize how bad things had become because you just get used to them and carry on. But I can do things now I haven't been able to do for years, like flying in an airplane, where the dry air and pressure changes could easily start a hemorrhage."
Deb said she can't say enough about the quality of the care she receives at Froedtert.
"One reason I've been able to carry on is that I've always felt there was someone at Froedtert who would help me," she said. "With this kind of disease, the smallest things can make a difference. I never felt there wasn't something else we couldn't try. Dr. Harkins would never say there's nothing left in his bag of tricks. You couldn't ask for anything more than that. He kept me going all these years."

WOW! What a unreal place to spend a week. Words can't do justice to how great a time we had at Rancho Santana staying in this house. The way the house is setup is awesome, the huge outdoor common areas were so great, and having that infinity pool never hurts. My favorite thing hands down about the house was the view. The coolest thing was that being so high up, you could walk to several vantage points around the house and your view changes at everyone. Eating breakfast and dinner at this place never gets old, I could have stayed at the house and never left and been completely content. The ranch is equally amazing. Five beaches accessed by dirt roads that were fun as anything to drive on. Some beaches we would be on for 5hours and not another person would step foot on it (our favorite was Escondita). The clubhouse has a huge pool and a great restaurant and bar with a friendly staff. The list of things to do here are limitless. The best vacation I have ever had hands down, what a house, what a area, what a country. I will 100% be back here, there is zero doubt in my mind.

In recognition of its 2009 sales year, Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) shared its success in the form of Celebration Grants. "I think it's a great way to celebrate Subaru's record-breaking sales year and give back to the communities that helped make us successful," said Jim Pernas, director, Subaru Portland zone.
As part of its commitment to the communities in which Subaru employees work and live, SOA gave grants to 20 organizations. "I saw that some organizations were very local, very grassroots, and this grant would make a significant difference to them," explained Denise Schwartz, e-contact team leader, Subaru Customer/Dealer Services.
Recipients were selected from existing and past relationships whose funds benefit the communities of Subaru offices. Employees voted on which organizations would receive the grants. "There are a lot of regional offices that have specific charities they work with, and for us to be able to award again based on popularity vote is great," commented Debbie Jeffries, distribution administrator, Subaru Central Region.

I went for an English Breakfast and I got a flavorless plate of food, I seriously contemplated becoming a chef because of this meal. (It's breakfast and this particular dish not complicated to make, but somehow restaurants want to mess with a traditional dish and fail miserably!) It was the worst representation of the traditional English Breakfast I ever saw and definitely the worst breakfast I have ever eaten, not kidding. I love food and was longing for this breakfast which left me completely unsatisfied. I never do reviews but I was soooo disappointed. One particular disappointing aspect- a mashed potato cake....how does this end up on an English Breakfast plate? And the 1/2 slice of toast, and no beans or mushrooms?!! And the skinny and overcooked sausage link? I'm thinking where is my sausage, then when I find it shriveled on the plate and taste it...well forget it I won't be back and I don't recommend it to anyone who is looking for a real breakfast.

It took an hour for our food to come. Two other tables that came after us finished their food before ours came. This was not addressed with comped items; we were still charged in full. The service is the dead spot of this place. The portobello mushrooms in my English breakfast win back a brownie point for this otherwise unfortunate experience.

I recently visited NY from Melbourne Australia and stubbled across 202 when searching for a decent coffee one morning. Coffee is to Melbourne as Pizza is to NY, so as you can understand, my coffee standards are quite high. I was presently surprised to find 202 on my quest. It took some time initially to order our coffees, but we were not disappointed when they arrived. I had a salmon bagel and my friend had Burcher muesli, both of which were delicious. It was relaxed and the old rustic tables were beautiful. 2 Thumbs up!

Adorable hostess, but the restaurant itself was Okay! Food was boring and bland (don't order eggs), the fried green tomatoes were better, as was the proscitto salad and burger, but way too many better places to go to eat.

We went to 202 for brunch. We had no trouble getting a table at 11:30; and there is something fun about eating in a boutique. I had the lamb burger with chickpea fries (both were great); my friend had the french toast (nothing special). I ordered the cheesecake--which was not cheesecake--because it looked and tasted like a piece of chocolate pie. Whatever it was, it was incredible (best that I have had outside of Paris). My friend ordered the Mexican chocolate soup, which was basically just melted chocolate ice cream. Not incredible. The bottom line, I guess, is that you should order what I had, not what my friend had.

After being recommended 202 from NY mag's best places to Brunch on NY day I can honestly say that 202 was one of the best places that I've eaten in NYC. The food was fantastic, the service great, a very chilled ambience & not a pretenious waiter in site (unlike our experience in Lupa the day before) Try the breakfast menu there, the Raspberry Pancakes were to die for. Highly recommend this place for any occasion. Thanks 202 for making our New Years day go off with a bang!

Yet another of the Annie Wayte-(London) inspired restaurants in New York, this one with the ambience of being somewhere in wine country, perhaps along the Rhone. The quality of the food is superlative, as it always is with this management, though refreshingly, dishes have a deliberate laid-back presentation to them consistent with the fact that Chelsea is NOT the same sophisticated neighborhood patronized by the cognoscenti as is the other Manhattan venture - people here sometimes come to chat over a drink, order take-away when the back door to the Chelsea Market corridor has access, even read/laptop/cellphone while at a table, play with youngsters they have trotted along, etc..The meals which I have had were excellent, and the prices reasonable. The staff is friendly and resonsive, though seems a tad unsure - I may have been mistaken, but it seemed as if the manager was actually training or coaching my server from his observation point during one meal while the restaurant was open. Definitely worth trying and coming back to! Perhaps, in time, the service will polish down to the "fine clockwork tuning" which regularly happens at their other longer-established venture.

Sandy Springs police say the number of reported hit and runs are up right now -- everything from fender benders to fatal pedestrian wrecks. So how do they catch a hit and run driver?"Just like with any type of detective work, you've got to identify a suspect. And sometimes we might be able to identify a vehicle but not necessarily the driver," said Sgt. Dan Sergeant Dan Nable with the Sandy Springs Police Department.Last September, 68-year-old Lanzhen Pan was walking to a class to learn English when she was hit by an SUV and killed at the intersection of Roswell Road and Hightower Trail."Whoever was driving the SUV stopped for just a brief second. We had a couple of witnesses that described the vehicle to us, but nobody got a tag number and they did hear a woman exclaim, oh my God," Nable said. He says it's these types of cases that are frustrating.Sgt. Nable says most hit and run drivers are either already doing something illegal, or they just get scared after the crash. In cases where someone is seriously injured or killed, hit and run investigators have to work quickly. "We'll use cell phone records. We'll use video from various locations...businesses. Sometimes there's evidence at the scene, like this broken headlight cover they put back together -- like a puzzle," said Nable.Generally the most helpful information comes from citizens."Hit and run is generally not a planned crime, so you can't pick your location and there are generally a whole lot more witnesses than you think there are," Nable said.The penalty for a misdemeanor hit and run is up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. If the wreck becomes deadly and you drive off, you could face a vehicular homicide charge.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlie Villanueva felt like the weight of the world was on the Detroit Pistons as they flew into Charlotte, N.C., for Saturday night's game.
A 10-game losing streak will do that to an NBA team.
Villanueva made sure the Pistons could breathe a sigh of relief Saturday night, scoring 14 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter -- including a go-ahead driving layup with 15 seconds left -- to help Detroit defeat the Charlotte Bobcats 92-91 to avoid matching its longest losing streak in three years.
"It felt really good to get a win after that losing streak we were on," Villanueva said in a jovial Pistons locker room. "We kind of got that monkey off our back. You could see how excited everyone was just to get that win."
Villanueva hit three 3-pointers in the final period, Jason Maxiell added 14 points and reserve Rodney Stuckey had 13 points and eight assists for the Pistons.
Kemba Walker had 25 points and Bismack Biyombo had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats, who had their two-game winning streak snapped. Gerald Henderson, who came in averaging 22.7 points per game over his past seven, finished with 15 points.
The NBA-worst Bobcats had the ball and a chance to win the game with 14 seconds left but couldn't convert.
The Bobcats led by three coming into fourth quarter, but every time they tried to pull away it seemed Villanueva was there to answer with a long 3-pointer.
The seven-year veteran finally put the Pistons in front at 85-84 on 3-pointer with just over two minutes to play and the teams traded the lead after that.
With the Pistons trailing by one, Villanueva made a backdoor cut and scored on a two-handed jam to give his team a 90-89 lead.
Walker answered with a pair of foul shots at the end other, but Villanueva then made the play of the game. After missing a 3-pointer, Villanueva corralled the rebound and drove the lane to give Detroit a 92-91 lead.
"I was just reading what the defence was giving me," Villanueva said. "They were trying to take the 3-pointer away so I was just driving the basketball. I saw the lane open."
The Bobcats called a timeout but couldn't get an open look off an inbound play.
Walker frantically drove with 4 seconds left and put up an off-balance shot that hit the rim. Josh McRoberts grabbed the loose ball and tried to put in a reverse that didn't drop.
"We grinded and gutted it out," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "When you've lost 10 games you need somebody to give you a spark. And Charlie did that in the fourth quarter. It's nice to get off the schneid. Now we want to continue every night and finish off the season in a professional, competitive way."
Frank was pleased that the Pistons had 31 assists on 36 field goals.
Detroit entered the game having lost its last 10 games by an average margin of 17.2 points per game. But they jumped out to a 9-0 lead behind Brandon Knight, who returned after missing four games with a sprained ankle.
However, they surrendered the momentum almost immediately as the Bobcats answered with a 9-0 run of their own and went on to lead most of the game.
But Charlotte had no answer for Villanueva down the stretch.
"He's tough because he can really shoot the 3," Henderson said of Villanueva. "It's crazy to think you'll lose track of him. But when you're coming back in transition, he just finds his way to the 3-point line.
"Even in the half court, he finds ways to score the ball at the basket. You're always taught to come back in the paint and branch out. He knows that and he kind of moseys back to the line and they find him. That's unusual because big men usually migrate to the paint."
After scoring 117 points against Washington and 109 against Toronto, the Bobcats only managed 92, one below their season average.
NOTES: The Bobcats are expected to sign backup point guard Jannero Pargo to another 10-day contract on Sunday. He had 16 points against the Pistons. "He plays with bravado," Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap said. ... The Bobcats were 23 of 25 from the foul line. ... Knight had five turnovers in his first game back from the ankle injury. ...
