Proven natural remedies for high cholesterol. Herbs for reducing cholesterol naturally.
National Cholesterol Education Month
How You Can Reduce Your Risk and Improve Your Health
Two of the main pushes of cholesterol guidelines revolve around the importance of having your cholesterol measured and knowing your risk of developing heart disease.
Controlling blood cholesterol levels can lower your risk for heart disease. It is critical for ALL adults - including healthy young adults - to have their cholesterol levels tested. The importance of screening, evaluation and treatment of high blood cholesterol in adults cannot be emphasized enough.
Research has clearly shown that lowering cholesterol can reduce the risk of developing heart disease. Cholesterol lowering is important for young, middle-aged, and older adults.
1 out of every 2 men and 1 out of every 3 women will develop heart disease sometime in their life. Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States and about 1.25 million heart attacks occur each year in the United States.
Whether you have heart disease already or want to prevent it, you can reduce your risk for having a heart attack by lowering your cholesterol level.
Why does blood cholesterol matter?
Blood cholesterol plays an important part in deciding a person's chance or risk of getting coronary heart disease. The higher your blood cholesterol levels, the greater your risk. High blood cholesterol is a risk factor for coronary heart disease.
When you have too much cholesterol in your blood, the excess builds up on the walls of the arteries that carry blood to the heart. Over time, this build-up can narrow the arteries, slow down and impede the flow of blood to the heart. Thereby, possibly leading to a heart attack and related symptoms.
Cholesterol buildup is the most common cause of heart disease and it happens so slowly that you are not even aware of it. The higher your blood cholesterol, the greater your chance of cholesterol buildup.
Cholesterol Testing
All adults age 20 and over should have their total blood cholesterol checked at least every 5 years. Blood cholesterol levels of under 200 mg/dl are called "desirable" and put you at a lower risk for heart disease. Unlike total cholesterol, the lower your HDL, the higher your risk for heart disease. A HDL level less than 35 mg/dl increases your risk of heart disease. The higher your HDL level, the better.
Desirable Cholesterol Levels:
Total cholesterol: Less than 200 mg/dL
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol): Less than 100 mg/dL
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ("good" cholesterol): 40 mg/dL or higher
Triglycerides: Less than 150 mg/dL
Importance of Lowering Your Cholesterol Levels
- Studies among people with heart disease have shown that lowering
cholesterol can reduce the risk for dying from heart disease,
having a nonfatal heart attack, and needing heart bypass
surgery or angioplasty.
- Studies among people without heart disease have shown that lowering cholesterol can reduce the risk for developing heart disease, including heart attacks and deaths related to heart disease. This is true for those with high cholesterol levels and even for those with average levels.
Even if your blood cholesterol level is close to the desirable range, you can lower it and reduce your risk of getting heart disease. Eating a heart healthy way, being physically active and losing weight if you are overweight are things everyone can do to help lower their levels. The good news is that people CAN prevent heart disease by controlling risk factors that can be modified. By lowering risk factors – through exercise, reducing saturated fats and cholesterol-containing foods, quitting smoking, and reducing excess weight, people can minimize their risk of ever developing coronary heart disease.
What Makes Your Cholesterol High or Low?
Your blood cholesterol level is influenced by many factors. These include what you eat, being overweight, lack of physical activity, heredity, your age and your gender. Many factors determine whether your LDL-cholesterol level is high or low. The following factors are the most important:
- Heredity - Your genes influence how high
your LDL ("bad") cholesterol is by affecting how fast LDL
is made and removed from the blood. One specific form of
inherited high cholesterol that affects 1 in 500 people is
familial hypercholesterolemia, which often leads to early
heart disease. But even if you do not have a specific genetic
form of high cholesterol, genes play a role in influencing
your LDL-cholesterol level.
- What you eat - Two main nutrients in the
foods you eat make your LDL ("bad") cholesterol level go
up: saturated fat, a type of fat found mostly in foods that
come from animals; and cholesterol, which comes only from
animal products. Saturated fat raises your LDL-cholesterol
level more than anything else in the diet. Eating too much
saturated fat and cholesterol is the main reason for high
levels of cholesterol and a high rate of heart attacks. Reducing
the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol you eat is a
very important step in reducing your blood cholesterol levels.
- Weight - Excess weight tends to increase
your LDL ("bad") cholesterol level. If you are overweight
and have a high LDL-cholesterol level, losing weight may
help you lower it. Weight loss also helps to lower triglycerides
and raise HDL ("good") cholesterol levels.
- Physical activity/exercise - Regular physical
activity may lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and raise HDL
("good") cholesterol levels.
- Age and sex - Before the age of menopause,
women usually have total cholesterol levels that are lower
than those of men the same age. As women and men get older,
their blood cholesterol levels rise until about 60 to 65
years of age. After the age of about 50, women often have
higher total cholesterol levels than men of the same age.
- Alcohol - Alcohol intake increases HDL
("good") cholesterol but does not lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
Doctors don't know for certain whether alcohol also reduces
the risk of heart disease. Drinking too much alcohol can
damage the liver and heart muscle, lead to high blood pressure,
and raise triglycerides. Because of the risks, alcoholic
beverages should not be used as a way to prevent heart disease.
- Stress - Stress over the long term has been shown in several studies to raise blood cholesterol levels. One way that stress may do this is by affecting your habits. For example, when some people are under stress, they console themselves by eating fatty foods. The saturated fat and cholesterol in these foods contribute to higher levels of blood cholesterol.
How Can You Lower Your Cholesterol Levels?
The main goal of cholesterol-lowering treatment is to lower your LDL level enough to reduce your risk of developing heart disease or having a heart attack. The higher your risk, the lower your LDL goal will be. There are two main ways to lower your cholesterol:
- Lifestyle Changes – includes a cholesterol-lowering
diet, physical activity, and weight management. Lifestyle
changes revolve around a proper diet with low saturated fat,
trans-fats and low cholesterol foods and eating plan as well
as weight management, physical activity, drug treatment and
stopping smoking. To reduce your risk for heart disease or
keep it low, it is also very important to control any other
risk factors you may have such as high blood pressure and
- Drug Treatment – if cholesterol-lowering drugs are needed, they are used together with lifestyle changes and treatment to help lower your LDL. Natural remedies are excellent tools as treatments for helping to lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risks.
Natural Remedies and How They Lower Cholesterol
Herbs and other natural products have been around much longer than the standard prescription drugs used today to control high cholesterol.
There are many natural alternatives to treating high cholesterol. This may be especially optimal to patients who are regulating their cholesterol levels with diet and exercise. Natural products reduce cholesterol levels by dissolving fat in the blood.
Alternatives to prescription drugs are being viewed with increasing interest especially since the withdrawal from the market of the prescription cholesterol-lowering drug Baycol after numerous deaths associated with its use.
The following list includes natural products that have been noted to reduce cholesterol levels through research:
- B Vitamins, besides niacin, decrease the rate at which LDL is damaged through oxidation.
- Carnitine has been seen to increase HDL levels, therefore decreasing total cholesterol levels.
- Chromium has been seen to reduce LDL levels and increase HDL levels.
- Coenzyme Q10 has been noted to reduce total cholesterol serum levels.
- Fiber can be obtained through fiber supplements or through foods such as whole grains and vegetables. It is thought that fiber binds to cholesterol in the small intestine and preventing cholesterol absorption into the bloodstream.
- Garlic has been widely studies for its cholesterol-lowering properties.
- Grape Seed Extract has been noted to reduce total cholesterol serum levels.
- Pantothine has been seen to increase HDL levels, therefore decreasing total cholesterol levels.
- Red yeast rice contains a natural form of lovastatin. Effective natural product for cholesterol control. Included in Native Remedies Cholesto-Rite capsules.
- Royal Jelly has been seen to lower cholesterol levels by reducing some of the cholesterol-elevating effects of nicotine.
- Soy has been shown to reduce total cholesterol levels
- Vitamin C has been noted to slightly reduce cholesterol levels.
Natural supplements should be used as a part of an overall program that includes dietary and lifestyle changes as referenced previous.
A Proven, Effective and Natural Aid for Controlling Cholesterol
Native Remedies' Cholesto-Rite is a highly effective, proven and safe herbal remedy that controls good and bad cholesterol levels naturally. Cholesto-Rite not only lowers LDL cholesterol, but also increases levels of HDL, the 'good' form of cholesterol that helps to remove excessive LDL from the bloodstream and prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Regular use of Cholesto-Rite can help to balance the system and prevent heart disease and stroke, as well as ensure healthy arteries.
You can effectively manage and lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your chances of developing coronary heart disease by following the advice and information prescribed above. This includes healthy lifestyle changes such as following a diet regimen high in low fat, low cholesterol foods, exercise, testing and treatments for managing, reducing and improving cholesterol levels. Remember, having high cholesterol places you at risk for more serious complications so it is vital to take care of your cholesterol levels to take best care of your health.

Do you have a LinkedIn account? How do you use it?
Ann Friedman, writing in the Baffler, ponders the meaning and the uses of the business/career-focused social media site.
On one level, of course, this world of aspirational business affiliation is nothing new. LinkedIn merely digitizes the core, and frequently cruel, paradox of networking events and conferences. You show up at such gatherings because you want to know more important people in your line of work—but the only people mingling are those who, like you, don't seem to know anyone important. You just end up talking to the sad sacks you already know. From this crushing realization, the paradoxes multiply on up through the social food chain: those who are at the top of the field are at this event only to entice paying attendees, soak up the speaking fees, and slip out the back door after politely declining the modest swag bag. They're not standing around on garish hotel ballroom carpet with a plastic cup of cheap chardonnay in one hand and a stack of business cards in the other.

Blue Nile's investments in diamonds are starting to pay off as the online jewelry retailer sees a return to growth and forecasts a record 2012, CEO Harvey Kanter, told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Monday.
"We had a 22 percent growth rate in customer acquisition on top of our 31 percent growth rate in diamond and engagements," the Blue Nile
executive said.
The Christmas season will also be crucial in gaining new customers, Kanter said. The company is giving away $100,000 in diamonds to Facebook users.
(Read More: Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List.)
"If you are a Facebook fan on Blue Nile, you can register each and every day for a gift," he said. "Everyone that registers will actually win an opportunity to have a great value."
Kanter also doesn't worry about new competitors. "The150,000 diamonds that we have on our site, the 20 to 40 percent price differential between traditional brick and mortar stores and what we bring to market helps to re-ignite our business success and really grow," Kanter said.

*Correction: An earlier version of this story said that the CEO noted the margin on engagement rings was around 70 percent. In fact, that 70 percent number referred to the percentage of sales that come from engagement rings annually. Margins on engagement rings are actually below 20 percent.

Eyes on the ball? 10 of the craziest college basketball courts
Feast your eyes -- or avert them, depending on your taste in unconventional basketball court designs. With college hoops season right around the corner, we take a look at some of the most unusual basketball floors around the country.
Austin Peay
Bright red all over? Check. Super creepy logo? Check. The Governors' home court is harder on the eyes than the team that plays on it, and that's saying something: Austin Peay finished 9-23 last season.
It's bad enough that the Bears seem to be engaged with Oregon in a battle to see whose uniforms are the most fluorescent. But Baylor's home court, with its two-toned theme and darker wood inside the 3-point lines, is just as outlandish as its uniforms.
Boise State
Not content to stop with its football field, Boise State rolled out an equally garish design for its basketball court to herald the school's move to the Mountain West Conference.
Cal State Bakersfield
Where to begin? The mutant roadrunner logo would be distracting enough if the floor at the Icardo Center wasn't almost entirely deep blue. We've found college basketball's answer to Boise State's "Smurf Turf."
Colorado State
A pair of ram's horns, in a darker shade than the rest of the court, make it look like the center court circle at Moby Arena is wearing the horns. All in all, it's a design that takes the phrase "Grab life by the horns" a little too seriously.
Idaho State
The school hasn't made an NCAA Tournament appearance since 1987, so apparently it's trying to garner attention in another way — with a court design heavy on emphasizing its "Bengals" nickname. Perhaps the most outlandish element is the free throw lanes, which are painted to look like the uniforms of the NFL team with the same name.
James Madison
Last year the Dukes made their first trip to the NCAA Tournament in nearly two decades. So how did they celebrate? By updating the court to feature two massive "Duke Dog" mascot logos, each with a crown on its head.
Alternating between a deep purple and a lighter violet, the floor at Welsh-Ryan Arena is crazy in an eye-catching good way. It's almost enough to make Wildcat fans forget that their men's basketball team remains the only program from a so-called "power conference" that has never made the NCAA Tournament.
Would you expect anything less from an athletics program featuring football uniforms that look like a highlighter factory just exploded? The court at Matthew Knight Arena is framed on all sides by a forest of brown-and-tan fir trees, an homage to the school's 1939 national title team nicknamed "The Tall Firs." But the rest of the floor looks like one of those stuffed bear area rugs.
Texas A&M
Memo to the Aggies: The checkerboard parquet doesn't work. The oversized outline of the state of Texas is a pale imitation of the rival Longhorns' floor at the Erwin Center. And the ridiculously oversized logo does nothing to help improve the appearance of the floor at Reed Arena.

The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!
Why do wolves howl?
Of all the myths that dog the wolf, none is more widely accepted than the idea that wolves howl at the moon. Images of wolves with their heads upturned, singing at the night sky, are as unquestioned as a goldfish's three-second memory or a dog's color-blindness (both also myths).

text: There is a lot of truth in that Dpaint. I would still like to think it's possible to put a bit of yourself into your work even if you are fulfilling commercial obligations, like painting a book cover whilst maintain integrity. But I totally agree that the best work would come out if artist were freed or freed themselves from these commercial restrictions and started painting what they want to see not what they are being told to paint. But I still believe that the subject matter can still stay close to what we see today. Just be handled with a bit more maturity, depth and care. I guess it boils down to the individual and where they might want to take their career. But working for a corporation can be a seemingly secure and guaranteed income source. However I agree that this should not be the only or even ultimate goal of any artist. Me personally I would always rather paint what I wanted to see first an not be a slave to another persons vision. But despite all this I still think with the constraints and limitations placed upon them many commercial artist today are still producing work that is good and meaningful. You are right when you hint at the point that many people are trying to fill up their portfolios with images that they think hit all the right buttons and will land them the right job asap. It would be nice if a bit more thought went into it at times. I just don't agree with this notion that expressing your vision through classical literature or religious iconography is the only way to produce great Imaginative art or that it confers any special or elevated status.

McGrath Earns Academic All-America Honors
In addition to his national honor on Thursday, McGrath won Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards in both cross country and track and field this year from the Colonial Athletic Association. The Marlborough, N.H., native was also picked as a Fulbright Scholar for 2013-14, and will spend the next year in Russia. McGrath double-majored in international relations and global studies at the College, and became eligible for the Academic All-America ballot by being named to the Academic All-District first team early in June.
On the fields of competition, he also distinguished himself. In the fall, McGrath won the CAA individual title in cross country, breaking the course record established by Olympian Brian Hyde '96 in the process, and also earned All-Region honors at the Southeast Regional championships for the second year in a row. For those accomplishments, he was voted the CAA Athlete of the Year. Indoors, McGrath set personal-bests in both the mile and the 3,000m, the latter when he ran 8:05.72 to place fourth at the IC4A Championships. Outdoors, he was runner-up in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at the CAA Championships, and ran 13:55.37 for 5,000m at Mt. SAC to qualify for his third-straight NCAA Championships.

Happy Belated New Year's Poolies!
It's been quite a week in the NHL, with an even further intensified playoff race in both conferences coming to the forefront of late with Gary Bettman's High Parity NHL. Should be another amazing winter of exciting meaningful hockey (for most teams) down the stretch!
After a solid 1 month run of going at over an 80% clip, I split my picks in half last column. This week I'm banking on yet another above .500 card. So without further ado….
(~~ Follow Anthony Lancione on Twitter @Anthisdaman)
- Stats as of Friday morning
- Winning % on the season= 59%
- Previous Week Record= 3-3
- For ProLine Purposes= 3-3
Colorado @ Dallas (3:00pm ET)
By the Numbers - Frozen Pools
The Avs ride up into the Mile High City dragging in with them a three game losing streak and counting. There is no coincidence that this coincides with franchise player, Matt Duchene jumping onto the long term injury shelf. But Colorado's status of out of the playoff picture is not for a lack of trying as they sit in 7th spot in the league for shots on goal. However, the Stars have taken three of four, and have generally seen their play pick up as of late. This has been undoubtedly aided by the return from injury of PP quarterback Alex Goligoski. After seeing a bit of a slow start after his IR stint, he has now potted markers in back to back games, and registered five points over his past six from the blue line. Beyond that, the October NHL line of the month of Louie Eriksson, Jamie Benn & champion Michael Ryder have recently got hot again, sparking this recent surge.
Tie – T(ProLine) (Dallas in SO)
San Jose @ Columbus (7:00pm ET)
By the Numbers - Frozen Pools
The San Jose Sharks have arguably taken title of NHL's hottest from the Boston Bruins! "Say whaaat" you ask? How about these nuggets: They've only lost one regulation game since December 10th of last year! Over the past 5 weeks they've won four of five, seven of eleven, have recorded points in seven straight and 13 of 14!! Moreover, only twice since December 3rd have they allowed more than two goals in a game ending in regulation. With this hot streak, San Jose has reclaimed their annual spot atop the Pacific. Unfortunately, not much to say about the jackets, who coming off of the firing of head coach, Scott Arniel, have been sent packing out of town by 5-2 and 7-4 scores visiting Chicago and Anaheim respectively. Along with Jeff Carter's shoulder troubles and Steve Mason appearing to be a shadow of his former self, things continue to look bleak for hockey in Ohio!
San Jose – Visitor Win– V(ProLine)
Buffalo @ NY Islanders (7:00pm ET)
By the Numbers - Frozen Pools
The Sabres continue to spiral coming off a 2-0 shutout loss in Toronto, an arena in which they've had plenty of success in over the past decade. They've now lost three straight, six of seven, 9 of 11 and 11 of 14. Over the past 11 games, they've also had trouble finding the twine notching just under an average of two goals per game over their past 11, while allowing 3.5 goals per game over that span. The Terry Pegula era, surprisingly has not gotten off to the start the feel-good ownership takeover oozed of last summer. However, despite, a virus caught by team leader Tomas Vanek, this team must bounces back this week, despite a better than usual Islanders squad. The Isles would be well advised though to stay even keel and not get too in over their heads after a shocking 5-1 throw down of the mighty RedWings on Tuesday night.

The 28-11-1 Defending Cup Champs are quite simply playing BETTER than the pace and production rates achieved in their Banner raising 2010-11 season, as they lead the league in goals for, goals against & wins. Despite much less fanfare, Timmy T is once again putting up scary historical numbers this season with a .939 SV % and 1.95 GAA~~Both marks of which are slightly better than last year's record-setting campaign. Yet shockingly his 'backup', if that's what you really want to refer to Tuukka Rask as, has been posting even BETTER numbers, with a .949 SV % & 1.59 GAA, albeit in a much smaller sample size. However he remains only one shutout behind Thomas even still. All of that incredible goaltending has been blended in with great depth . Carolina, sitting at the polar opposite end of the conference has no chance, even as the hosts.

Philadelphia @ Nashville (8:00pm ET)
By the Numbers – Frozen Pools
The Flyers remain an elite level threat coming into the new year having taken four of their past five and five of seven. Clearly last summer's school of thought in the hockey community that the Broad Street blowup of sacrificing the short term to extend their long term window is flawed----Flawed only in the sense that as much as they've opened up their window to compete for the cup, they have NOT shut the window either for the time being. They remain two points behind their 2012 Winter Classic counterparts for top spot in the NHL. Meanwhile, the Preds have been just as hot to kick off 2012, riding a three game winning streak of their own into this contest, as well as taking six of their past seven to stay right in the thick of things in the west.

Los Angeles @ Calgary (10:00pm ET)
By the Numbers – Frozen Pools
So despite, an aging stale roster, with not much future promise, nor much current promise, to be quite honest, Jay feaster has evidently thrown all his cards on the table and had revealed the Flames are going all in for one last more run! The acquisition of disgruntled diminutive forward, Michael Cammalleri, from Montreal for steady Rene Bourque(over the 2 prior seasons), was surprising for many fans and media members alike. Adding more high end salary to the Flames payroll appears to go against the consensus feeling in recent times. That being said, after getting completely shellacked 9-0 against the zoned-in Bruins, they have had short memory, moving on to a feel-good vibe the following night when Franchise Icon, Jarome netted his 500th. They have won a troika of their own, in succession, since then. The Kings are in 7th, while the Flames sit in 12th, yet the two clubs remain only three points apart in a very crowded west. L.A. also continues to have great success from their fantastic netminding duo, sitting 5th spot in the Jennings race.

Vrapper is an Eclipse plugin which acts as a wrapper for Eclipse text editors to provide a Vim-like input scheme for moving around and editing text. Unlike other plugins which embed Vim in Eclipse, Vrapper imitates the behavior of Vim while still using whatever editor you have opened in the workbench. The goal is to have the comfort and ease which comes with the different modes, complex commands, and count/operator/motion combinations which are the key features behind editing with Vim, while preserving the powerful features of the different Eclipse text editors, like code generation and refactoring.

How do you feel about your job? A study, by Gallup, found most people are not exactly loving them.
The study looked at U.S. workers from 2010 to 2012 and found there are three types of workers.
"Engaged" workers feel a passion and a connection to their employers. "Non-engaged" workers have basically checked-out of their jobs. They're putting in time, but not much energy.
The third group is beyond checked-out. "Actively disengaged" workers are unhappy at work and act unhappy at work every day. These workers undermine the accomplishments of co-workers.
Nationally, the study found 30 percent of workers are "engaged" in their jobs, 52 percent are "not engaged," and 18 percent are "actively-disengaged."
Those top two numbers, put together, mean 70 percent of American workers are giving less than their best effort at work.
Illinois workers look even less engaged than the national average. 28 percent of workers here were found to be "engaged" in their jobs. That ranks 46th out of the 50 states.
29 percent of Indiana workers were "engaged." That's 41st in the country.
The most "engaged" state is Louisiana, at 37 percent.
In the "actively disengaged" category, Illinois is ninth worst at 20 percent and Indiana ranks right at the national average: 18 percent.
A separate, more up-to-date survey found national employee disengagement rose even higher this spring -- all the way to 32 percent.
Workers who are actively disengaged are said to cost the U.S. economy $450-$550 billion per year in productivity.

Perhaps I'm missing things because most of what I see of the advertising for Pokemon is during the last half of Beyblade when waiting for it to start airing, but is it just me who gets the impression that Cartoon Network expect Pokemon to get viewers solely on the name alone?
They are still running the same promo that started before the Rival Destinies season started, complete with shots mostly of those first few episodes and presumably will keep doing that through until the season finishes.
I don't quite expect a promo for every individual episode - the Japanese episode promos sometimes reveal way too much about the upcoming episodes - but to update it every month, or rotate through a few promos that actually show different sides of the show - it's hard to imagine anyone deciding to start watching or even return to watching based on the promos shown.
Yet despite this, Pokemon seems to rate solidly, people seem to keep coming back regardless of how poorly Cartoon Network seem to treat it, does it just not matter?

Kernel 2.6.25: 64 Bit Systems At Risk
The changelog for kernel 220.127.116.11 includes just a single entry, however, it seems to be so important that the Kernel Stable Team urgently advises users to upgrade the kernel on 64 bit multiple user systems.
The patch by Geman developer Michael Karcher remove an issue in the local descriptor table (ldt) on x86_64 systems. Details of the bug have not yet been disclosed. In his release announcement Greg Kroah-Hartman writes that systems with unrestricted user accounts should definitely be updated. It can be assumed that logged in users are able to escalate their privileges thanks to the bug.
A couple of days ago, the kernel 188.8.131.52 release removed two vulnerabilities both of which affected the x86_64 platform. The first bug affected several drivers and could be exploited to run arbitrary code, or crash the kernel. The second bug affected the "sys32_ptrace()" function in "arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c" and could cause an overflow of the "refcount" field in the "task_struct" structure, thus causing a number of system errors.
The bugs affect all 2.6.25 series kernels. The kernel development team urgently advises users to install patches.

- Life achieves its summit when it does to the uttermost that which it was equipped to do.
- White Fang (1906)
- The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances.

- I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

- Fiction pays best of all and when it is of fair quality is more easily sold. A good joke will sell quicker than a good poem, and, measured in sweat and blood, will bring better remuneration. Avoid the unhappy ending, the harsh, the brutal, the tragic, the horrible - if you care to see in print things you write. (In this connection don't do as I do, but do as I say.) Humour is the hardest to write, easiest to sell, and best rewarded... Don't write too much. Concentrate your sweat on one story, rather than dissipate it over a dozen. Don't loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don't get it you will nonetheless get something that looks remarkably like it.
- 'Getting into Print', first published in 1903 in The Editor magazine
The Call of the Wild (1903)Edit
- ...men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost.
- He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars.
- But especially he loved to run in the dim twilight of the summer midnights, listening to the subdued and sleepy murmurs of the forest, reading signs and sounds as a man may read a book, and seeking for the mysterious something that called -- called, waking or sleeping, at all times, for him to come.
- He was a killer, a thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a hostile environment where only the strong survive.
Martin Eden (1909)Edit
- It was just such uniqueness of points of view that startled Ruth. Not only were they new to her, and contrary to her own beliefs, but she always felt in them germs of truth that threatened to unseat or modify her own convictions. Had she been fourteen instead of twenty-four, she might have been changed by them; but she was twenty-four, conservative by nature and upbringing, and already crystallized into the cranny of life where she had been born and formed. It was true, his bizarre judgments troubled her in the moments they were uttered, but she ascribed them to his novelty of type and strangeness of living, and they were soon forgotten. Nevertheless, while she disapproved of them, the strength of their utterance, and the flashing of eyes and earnestness of face that accompanied them, always thrilled her and drew her toward him. She would never have guessed that this man who had come from beyond her horizon, was, in such moments, flashing on beyond her horizon with wider and deeper concepts. Her own limits were the limits of her horizon; but limited minds can recognize limitations only in others. And so she felt that her outlook was very wide indeed, and that where his conflicted with hers marked his limitations; and she dreamed of helping him to see as she saw, of widening his horizon until it was identified with hers.
- Ch. VIII
- Much of this he strove to express to Ruth, and shocked her and made it clear that more remodelling was necessary. Hers was that common insularity of mind that makes human creatures believe that their color, creed, and politics are best and right and that other human creatures scattered over the world are less fortunately placed than they. It was the same insularity of mind that made the ancient Jew thank God he was not born a woman, and sent the modern missionary god-substituting to the ends of the earth; and it made Ruth desire to shape this man from other crannies of life into the likeness of the men who lived in her particular cranny of life.
- Ch. VIII
- Too much is written by the men who can't write about the men who do write.
- Ch. XXXII
- "Then one can't make a living out of poetry?"
"Certainly not. What fool expects to? Out of rhyming, yes."
- Ch. XXXII
John Barleycorn (1913)Edit
- I am. I was. I am not. I never am.
- Ch. I
- There are, broadly speaking, two types of drinkers. There is the man whom we all know, stupid, unimaginative, whose brain is bitten numbly by numb maggots; who walks generously with wide-spread, tentative legs, falls frequently in the gutter, and who sees, in the extremity of his ecstasy, blue mice and pink elephants.... The other type of drinker has imagination, vision. Even when most pleasantly jingled he walks straight and naturally, never staggers nor falls, and knows just where he is and what he is doing. It is not his body but his brain that is drunken.
- Ch. II
- I was five years old the first time I got drunk.
- Ch. III
- Men do not knowingly drink for the effect alcohol produces on the body. What they drink for is the brain-effect; and if it must come through the body, so much the worse for the body.
- Ch. V
- The fortunate man is the one who cannot take more than a couple of drinks without becoming intoxicated. The unfortunate wight is the one who can take many glasses without betraying a sign; who must take numerous glasses in order to get the kick.
- Ch. VI

Bringing Back Gingham
The most notable trailblazing gingham design is the famous Hästens mattress. It's an extremely expensive ($4000-$12,000) mattress in luxury hotels in Sweden, Denmark and Spain. It's made of all natural material and is covered with a trademark gingham pattern.

Hästens mattresses have had that trailblazing gingham design for about a hundred years, and are pretty common in homes in northern Europe, not just luxury hotels.
I have always loved the crisp and graphic look of gingham, especially black and white. Vist our site at www.onlinefabricstore.com to see gingham choices and our blog post on ways to use gingham

It's scary to think about what might happen in the hidden confines of a restaurant kitchen. You've probably had the nightmares: An angry waiter spits in your fettuccine before delivering it to your table, or a clumsy chef drops your steak onto the soiled floor tiles and sends it out anyway. Gross, right?
But hold it right there. As it turns out, there's plenty of gross stuff happening right in front of your eyes. The food you prepare in your kitchen, made from ingredients you purchased at your local supermarket, may not be much better. Our food system has gone from local and fresh to international and industrial, and the transition has created more than a few complications. It takes a lot of manpower, money, and time to keep supermarket shelves stocked with 38,000 products. While the store owners struggle to stay on top of what's new, the FDA struggles to make more regulations. And both fall short.
That said, there's no need to settle for sub-par foodstuffs—a little knowledge goes a long way in the supermarket. Here are the 12 facts you must remember next time you set foot in your neighborhood gross-ery store.
#12: FDA inspectors are easy graders
This fall, contaminated peanuts were the source of a 20-state salmonella outbreak. Forty-one unfortunate consumers became ill before the offending products could be recalled. Scary, right? But here's what makes it worse: Sunland food plant, the factory that processed the legumes, performed poorly in 2009 and 2010 FDA inspections, yet was allowed to continue production. Regulators suspended plant operations only after consumers fell ill.
#11: Stores sell expired food
Trust in those stamped numbers all you want, but expiration dates may not do you much good. The FDA leaves it entirely up to the supermarket to decide when to toss outdated foods, so the numbers on the box are merely a suggestion of when the food might go bad. Many responsible stores do take care to dispose of expired products, but those that don't face no legal ramifications. That means if a store wants to leave expired food on the shelf, they are well within their rights to do so.
SHOP BY DIGITS: Expiration dates aren't the only numbers you should watch for. Dangerous food dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 5 are among The 8 Ingredients You Never Want to See on Your Nutrition Label.
#10: Your deli case may be a bit too toasty
Deli meat must be stored below 41°F to remain safe for human consumption, yet the FDA reports that refrigerated cases often fail to meet this requirement. Upon inspection, convenience store cases have been found to exceed this temperature 50 percent of the time, and in some cases, the agency has discovered meat being stored above 55°F. At this temperature, pathogens including Staph and Salmonella are able to grow.
#9: Shopping carts are crawling with pathogens
A University of Arizona study found that 72 percent of grocery store cart handles are covered in fecal bacteria. In fact, the study indicated that the cart handles were dirtier than the average bathroom. The researchers chalked it up to lack of regular sanitization on the part of the stores.
#8: Your food might be on its second—or third—life
The FDA allows manufacturers to "recondition" food that they don't get quite right the first time around. This could mean incorporating a botched batch of vanilla yogurt in with another flavor, regrinding misshaped pasta, or even heat-treating moldy food and repacking it. The idea is to minimize waste, which is good in theory, but pretty gross in practice.
FRANKEN-FOODS: Hybrid cars? Good. But hybrid foods? Not quite. These 6 Freaky Fast Food Creations will only weigh you down.
#7: The produce is riddled with pesticides
Only 0.00002 percent of produce is ever tested for pesticide residue, says the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the FDA only screens for a smattering of the chemicals routinely used by farmers. Yet even with this limited assessment, the tests still routinely turn up objectionable levels by the FDA's own standards.
#6: Bagged berries contain mold
You would think that frozen berries would be preserved in peak condition, but the opposite can be true. The FDA maintains that up to 45 percent of frozen strawberries in every bag can legally contain traces of mold.
#5: There could be maggot particles in your macaroni
The FDA allows up to 450 insect fragments in every one-pound box of pasta. That means that if you're like the average American, who consumes about 20 pounds of noodles every year, you could take in 9,000 bits of bug annually.
TALK S'MAC: Peruse any pasta menu and you'll likely find trouble. Between overblown portion sizes and caloric cream sauces, these bowls are often among the worst dishes. For proof, take a look at the 7 Worst Pasta Dishes in America.
#4: The shrimp is dangerous
Texas Tech researchers tested 30 supermarket shrimp samples and found three separate types dangerous antibiotics: cloramphenicol, a suspected carcinogen; nitrofuranzone, a proven carcinogen; and enrofloxacin, which disrupts the immune system. These antibiotics are used to fight disease in overcrowded shrimp farms.
#3: There are dirty hands touching your food
An observational study in the Journal of Food Protection found that food workers, including deli workers, washed their hands only 32 percent of the times they ought to. Why does it matter? Because 89 percent of foodborne illnesses are transmitted by hand.
#2: The chicken might not be as fresh as it looks
The FDA doesn't object to supermarkets switching out packaging to make food appear fresher. For example, if a pack of chicken breasts or a tray of prepared food is starting to look old and tired, it's entirely acceptable for the store to repack it and slap on a new date.
FOWL PLAY: Dirty supermarket birds are only part of the problem—restaurants' calorie-crusted poultry dishes are every bit as avoidable. Check out The Worst Chicken Dishes in America to discover which "healthy" dish packs nearly 1,500 calories!
#1: The meat is infectious
A study in Clinical Infectious Diseases found that of the supermarket meat samples they tested, half contained staph, including the drug-resistant MRSA strain. Researchers determined that the bacteria had built up immunity thanks to the 30 million pounds of antibiotics used in industrial farming annually. Reduce your risk of infection by cooking meat thoroughly and washing everything that comes into contact with the raw meat.
