It used to be that you just had to worry about convincing kids to eat the fruits and vegetables they need to grow healthy and strong. But recent outbreaks of E. coli and salmonella remind us of another concern — making sure fresh produce is safe to eat.
Even with the risk of food-borne illnesses, it's important for kids to eat fruits and vegetables every day to get essential vitamins and nutrients. For example, fruits like oranges provide vitamin C, which helps heal cuts and wounds. Vegetables like broccoli contain dietary fiber, which can help keep cholesterol down and bowel movements regular.
The good news is that it's easy to make sure that the produce you buy and prepare is safe.
Regardless of the variety of produce you pick — whether it's bagged or loose, organic or traditionally grown — there's always going to be some chance, however small, that harmful bacteria may have gotten on the food. It can happen anywhere between the fields and your kitchen, during picking, transporting, or packaging.
The safeguards you can take begin when you're selecting produce at the store. Be sure to inspect fruits and vegetables before you buy them, and avoid any with visible cuts or broken skin where bacteria could enter.
Also keep these things in mind:
You've probably seen the term "Certified Organic" on USDA labels indicating that a product was grown or made without pesticides, synthetic ingredients, or bioengineering. However, bacterial contamination is possible whether the produce is certified organic or conventionally grown.
To safely store produce, make sure your refrigerator and freezer are cold enough to keep it fresh and prevent any bacteria in it from thriving. Keep your refrigerator set to 40º F (5º C) and your freezer to 0ºF (-18ºC) or lower. If they don't have thermostats, consider buying one for each.
When you prepare fresh produce, these steps will help ensure that it's safe to eat:
Though commercial produce washes are available, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not recommend washing produce with them. Following the recommendations above and washing your hands, dishes, utensils, and the surfaces in your kitchen should work just fine. Periodically sanitizing cutting boards and kitchen surfaces can offer added protection.
Rest assured that while fresh produce, meat, and fish do carry some contamination risk, with the proper precautions you can reduce that risk and enjoy them safely.

FY 2010 Summary of Performance and Financial Information
Message from the Administrator about the document:
I am pleased to present the U.S. Small Business Administration's FY 2010 Summary of Performance and Financial Information report. This report summarizes the Agency's efforts to help Americans grow businesses and create jobs by providing resources and tools, including: access to capital; opportunities in federal contracting; access to entrepreneurial education; and disaster assistance for businesses, homeowners, and renters.
In FY 2010, the SBA continued to play a crucial role in providing America's entrepreneurs and small businesses with the tools they need to grow, create jobs, drive innovation and competitiveness, and lead our nation's economic recovery.
In particular, the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act – and extensions of its successful temporary loan enhancements – continued to drive billions of dollars in SBA lending support to small businesses at a time when traditional markets remained extremely tight. Small businesses also won billions of dollars in Recovery Act contracts.
Also, at the end of FY 2010, the President signed the most significant piece of small business legislation in over a decade – the Small Business Jobs Act – which is now helping the SBA deliver even more opportunities in areas such as capital, contracting, counseling, and more.
Key SBA accomplishments in FY 2010 include:
Continued increase in SBA lending — Due to the fee reductions and higher guaranties first authorized by the Recovery Act, the Agency was able to support more than $22.4 billion (54,833 loans) in lending through its top loan programs, compared to about $17.9 billion (47,897 loans) in FY 2009. The average weekly loan volume for FY 2010 was $333 million, which is 29 percent higher than that of FY 2009 ($258 million)
Increase in support to high-growth small businesses — Due to an increase in the number and activity of licensees in the Agency's Small Business Investment Company program, total financings to small firms needing equity and mezzanine capital investments reached a 50-year record high of nearly $1.6 billion, a 23 percent increase over the average of the previous four years. Notably, this program has no cost to taxpayers.
Increase in small business contracting with federal agencies — Through stronger efforts with federal agencies, the SBA helped more than 30 percent (nearly $11 billion) of total Recovery Act contracting dollars go to small businesses, an increase from the 25 percent of Recovery Act contracting dollars that went to small businesses in FY 2009 alone. Also during FY 2010, the Agency reported an increase from FY 2008 (21.5 percent) to FY 2009 (21.9 percent) for all contracting opportunities.
Continued focus on eliminating waste, fraud and abuse — The Agency continued to strengthen its commitment to mitigating risk while eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. For example, Agency officials conducted over 1,200 site visits to firms participating in the HUBZone contracting program. Also, with extensive public participation, the Agency overhauled regulations for the 8(a) business development and contracting program, helping ensure that benefits are flowing appropriately to small firms when the final rule is published in 2011.
Increase in entrepreneurial education resources — The SBA continued to reach out directly to small business owners through its network of 69 district offices nationwide. In addition, SBA's grant-funded counseling partners (900 Small Business Development Centers, 110 Women's Business Centers, and 368 chapters of an executive mentoring program called SCORE) experienced high demand for their free and low cost services from entrepreneurs and small business owners. Combined, they served over 1.1 million clients in FY 2010, including many who are adopting new strategies and/or reinventing their businesses in order to emerge from the recession in a more viable position. Also, these counselors helped small businesses access nearly $4 billion in capital.
Continued optimization of disaster assistance resources — The Agency continued to process disaster loans about 10 times faster than during Hurricane Katrina, with 95 percent of loans receiving initial disbursement within 5 days of closing. This efficient and effective response was especially critical in approving and deferring loans in the wake of the BP Oil Spill, during which the SBA set up dozens of temporary loan processing centers along the Gulf Coast states.
Under our revised Strategic Plan for fiscal years 2011 through 2016, the Agency will continue to find new ways to achieve operational excellence while increasing accountability and transparency. In the near term, this will be particularly important in continued efforts to roll out provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act, including those that will help small businesses find more opportunities in, and access to, capital, contracting, counseling, and exporting.
Also in FY 2011, the Agency will continue to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used effectively to provide more tools and resources to entrepreneurs and small business owners, including:
- A new rule that will help deliver more federal contracts to women-owned small businesses in over 80 industries where they are underrepresented;
- Several rules implementing the Small Business Jobs Act that will address a range of issues including debt refinancing, contract bundling, multiple awards contracts, and small business set asides;
- A new Advantage loan platform that will help provide more access to capital in underserved communities, which have been disproportionately hit by the recession, and
- Stronger overall efforts to increase both the number and reach of small business exporters in order to bolster U.S. competitiveness and job creation.
I am pleased to provide an assurance that SBA's financial and performance data in this report are reliable and complete. SBA's auditor issued an unqualified opinion on our FY 2010 financial statements.
As we move forward, the SBA will continue to promote the growth, innovation, and global competitiveness of America's small business community as it creates jobs and leads the country toward greater prosperity in the 21st century.

Renoir's Girl With a Fan Takes Center Stage at June 11 Gallery Talk
For Immediate Release
May 29, 2009
Pierre-Auguste Renoir's engaging painting, Girl with a Fan, will be the focus of the next Looking at Lunchtime Talk on Thursday, June 11, at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. Sarah Lees, associate curator of European art, will lead this gallery talk at 12:30 pm. This talk is free with paid gallery admission.
At first glance, Renoir's Girl with a Fan seems to be the type of appealing depiction of a lovely young woman typical of the artist's work. On further examination, however, the painting begins to provoke numerous questions. It is difficult to say whether it is a portrait of a specific person or a generalized depiction of feminine beauty, or to determine where the figure is situated in space and how all the elements of the picture fit together. Lees will discuss these and other intriguing details during her gallery talk.
The series continues on Thursday, July 9, when Jay Clarke, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, will look at selections from the Manton Collection. The talks take place at 12:30 pm on the second Thursday of every month. Attendees may purchase food from the courtyard café or bring a bag lunch to enjoy before or after the gallery talks. Looking at Lunchtime Talks are free with paid gallery admission.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (open daily in July and August). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

New details have emerged about what police say happened the moments before an Albemarle County police officer shot a man in Charlottesville.
Josue Salinas-Valdez was shot in the stomach by Officer William Underwood back in May.
He spend more than a week in the hospital, and just last week had the bullet removed.
Police requested the bullet, so they could compare it to Underwood's gun.
Court records say that Salinas-Valdez punched Officer Underwood in the face three times, and stole his baton.
Records also indicate that he could not be controlled, despite being shocked with a Taser twice.
Officials say Underwood shot Salinas-Valdez while he was charging at him with the baton.
Salinas-Valdez's lawyer has not returned calls for comment.
His trial is set for February.

A former University of Maine student-athlete has become the first hockey player to join a class-action lawsuit that claims the National Collegiate Athletic Association has failed to do enough to address and prevent concussions.

Kyle Solomon, 25, of Southampton, N.Y., was a member of UMaine's hockey team from 2008 to 2010. He left the team in the middle of his sophomore season after suffering a series of head injuries.
This week, Solomon added his name to a lawsuit filed in September 2011 in U.S. District Court in Northern Illinois.
The lawsuit includes three other former student-athletes who suffered career-ending concussions: Adrian Arrington, who played football for Eastern Illinois University; Derek Owens, who played football for the University of Central Arkansas; and Angela Palacios, who played soccer at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas.
Solomon did not return several calls for comment Thursday and Friday. The lawsuit details his history playing for UMaine.
Before joining the team in 2008, Solomon disclosed to UMaine's coaching staff that he had suffered three concussions during his prep career.
"Neither the coaching or (sic) training staff ever addressed or discussed concussions or concussion symptoms with him," the complaint reads. "He also did not receive any information from or on behalf of the NCAA on how to recognize or report head injuries."
Solomon's first concussion at UMaine came during a practice in March 2009, when a teammate elbowed him in the head. When he tried to get up after the hit, his legs collapsed and he felt dizzy, the complaint says. The symptoms lasted several days.
In a nationally televised game between Maine and Boston College in October 2009, Solomon was hit by an opposing player. The collision sent Solomon toward the boards, where he hit his head above the right ear and blacked out.
When he regained consciousness, he saw "stars" and had double vision, the complaint reads. A trainer examined Solomon in the locker room but did not diagnose a concussion. Solomon was given seven stitches and returned to the game in the third period.
After the game, "Solomon was told to 'go back to his dorm room and rest,' despite the fact that he lived alone and no one was present to monitor his condition," the complaint reads. He continued to experience concussion symptoms for about a week.
In January 2010, in a game between Maine and Merrimack College, Solomon was elbowed again. He left that game in an ambulance and was treated at a hospital for damage to his vocal cords and a slight concussion. He was out of action for about two weeks.
Solomon's final head injury came during a practice in March 2010, when he was "elbowed softly" by a teammate, the complaint reads. He was diagnosed with a concussion but was cleared to return two weeks later, "despite the fact that Solomon felt something was wrong with him. He felt like a different person. He noticed a change in his personality, felt depressed, and was disconnected with reality."
After that hit, Solomon visited Dr. Robert Cantu, a neurologist in Boston who specializes in brain injuries. Cantu told Solomon that his brain had sustained severe trauma and "advised that another concussion could kill him," the complaint says.
Solomon retired from hockey.
He has continued his studies at UMaine but the effects of his concussions have been debilitating, the complaint says. He can't read for long stretches, suffers from migraine headaches and often cannot sleep.
The three other student-athletes named in the lawsuit have similar stories.
"While playing NCAA sports, the NCAA did not encourage Arrington, Owens, Palacios, Solomon or other student-athletes to report or complain about their physical well-being, did not thoroughly educate (them) of the long-term effects of concussions, and did not thoroughly educate plaintiffs or other student-athletes about head-injury prevention," the complaint reads.

Grace Episcopal Church held its 84th Blessing of the Hounds Thursday morning. It's been a Thanksgiving tradition in Keswick since 1929.
Reverend Randy Haycock began the ceremony at 10 a.m. About a thousand people gathered outside the church, where horses, huntsmen and hounds were blessed before saddling up for a hunt.
Orange County resident Haley Wilbanks has participated in the ceremony in the past. This year, she was on the sidelines to watch her younger sister get blessed alongside other members of the Keswick Hunt Club.
"It's always been a really good Thanksgiving tradition for my family," said Wilbanks. "It's a really cool way to start off our Thanksgivings."
Haycock, who officiated the ceremony, said several people told him it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the Blessing of the Hounds.
"It does provide a kind of window of opportunity to really practice gratitude in a deep and lasting day," said Haycock. "That really is what keeps people coming back."
Riders collected offerings in their helmets before the blessing. The money will go to the Charlottesville Free Clinic and the Wildlife Center of Virginia.
The church's first Blessing of the Hounds service took place in 1926 as a way to reach out to sports people in the community who did not regularly attend church. It has been held every Thanksgiving since then.

Has anyone made their own baby food for their infants instead of buying the purees from the store? I have heard of a number of baby food cookers, etc. but it seems to me you could simply cook the food item you are trying to puree until it's soft and then blend it. Does anyone know the advantages of these baby food cookers that are out there? --Julie, Strongmoms facilitator
I made the majority of Hazels baby food. I never used a baby food cooker because i don't think it is necessary. Most instructions say to boil the food and use the water you boiled it in to thin or thicken the food while pureeing... In my years of cooking i have learned that it is best not to boil the food because the nutrients seep out into the water that you are dumping down the sink... Instead i steam whatever it is that i want to puree and use the steaming water to thin the food. I have a friend that plans to make her daughters food as well and she has said that she is going to buy the 6 and 8oz canning jars and make large batches and can them since the canning life of a food is longer than the freezing life. It will save a lot of freezer space and time down the road.
I have made my son's babyfood since he moved to purees. Most of what I make I steam and then puree. If i need to thin it out, I use the "steaming" water UNLESS it is carrots. For some reason, there is a concern with carrots containing too much nitrates in the water. (I really have no idea if this is a real concern, but there were enough articles out there saying not to use the carrot water that I just used purified water). I also bought silicone ice cube trays to freeze the food. You can get them at any baby type store and they make things so easy. Once frozen, just pop them out and store the ice cubes in a ziploc type bag in the freezer. It is great to just take out an ice cube or two (if you want to mix items or feeding size increases) each night when I get home from work and they are defrosted the next day for consumption.
The one thing I learned the hard way is to spend money on a good blender or good food processor. Things like spinach and broccoli make a huge mess, sweet potatoes get everywhere. But it is pretty awesome to be able to control what my son eats every day. Plus my son was born small (4lbs 11 ozs at full term). It is easier to control his intake when I make the food. Our nutritionist told us that the store purees have a lot of water in them. For my son that isn't good. Plus we have to now add butter to his food to help fatten him up. It is quite fun to cook with BUTTA!
Good luck it is well worth it.
I agree with Brinny, I never bought anything special. I just made extra veggies for dinner without salt or anything and then pureed them in a small food processor. I froze them in ice cube trays and then put the ice cubes in a freezer bag labeled. You can make a whole bag full of frozen peas that way and then pull out what you need!
I should clarify the only reason I bought a good food processor is that the old one I had was 20+ years old and didn't really work well. The blades were a bit dull do say the least. I wouldn't spend the money on any baby food specific blenders/processors.
I'm so glad this is working for other people! Since the day I found out I was pregnant I have wanted to make my own baby food, I did register for the baby bullet & baby bullet steamer. I wasn't sure if I should just stick with a regular old steamer and blender or if the baby bullet would be better. The tip to use the steaming water was great, I would have never thought of that with the pregnancy brain I have going right now.
I totally would not get a baby bullet and steamer... they are just gimmicks to get you to spend more. i never had any issues with my blender not pureeing my daughters food well enough... even with stringy veggies like squash. your money could be much more useful elsewhere.
I bought the baby food in the store with my first son 7 years ago and he hated it. After that I started just mashing up what I made for us and he loved it. This was after making sure he had no allergies. My blender works fine for it and I would jsut steam his food.
Oh Baby Bullet sounds perfect-See Brinny's comment below. We have a blender made by "ninja" and it has food processing attachments as well as blending. I love the thing! It might be worth looking at for baby food making. :)
I have the baby bullet and it works great! I didn't realize that boiling takes the vitiams out I will steam from now on. But I highly recommend home made baby food. They put so much crap in store bought baby food. When i found d out that it has a a shelf life of 3 years I was like not putting that in my baby's body.
Stella - exactly my thoughts!! If it's natural food, it should rot eventually! Great job making your baby food - it's really not that much work and so good for our kiddos. :-)

Roasted maybe burnt malt aroma with a coffee and chocolate smell.
Dark roasted malt taste with coffee and a hint of chocolate, buttery background, and has pine and a hint of lime/grapefruit as the hop flavors.
Full bodied, resinous, buttery, bready, with a soft crisp carbonation.
A good craft session Porter that has been in my mix for awhile.

After being told of by others to try / much blather / hype, I've had a bottle for about 2 months chilling and finally cracked'r open:
Color / Aroma: Porter black-brown, with nominal carbonation and limited smell
Taste: cold, heavy, and alluring; it's about time something lived up the one's high expectations. Aftertaste is nearly non-existence--meaning smooth finish.
Drinkability: it's a porter's porter; a new classic standard in my book of poor imitators / wannabes. Wish I had another right now; gotta go get me some mo'.
Cheers on this one.

One of my favorite "standard" American porters, I've had this beer many times and finally decided that it was time to update my rating and write a full review. Poured out of a 12 oz brown bottle into a 16 oz standard tumbler glass. While Deschutes utilizes a "best by" date on their labels, alas, I failed to note the date on this label. However, I have good reason to believe it is fairly fresh, based on the establishment from whence it was ordered.
Appearance - The body is a brown so rich and deep that it resembles true black, like the char on a piece of burnt toast. The light fails to penetrate the dark hue and is also hindered by a generous two-finger head of frothy foam that has a smattering of larger bubbles that give it the illusion of being dotted with mini chocolate chips. Retention is moderate, and it leaves ring fragments of sticky lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell - Porters like Black Butte are proof of how vague the line is between porters and stouts. Rich and full, with notes of unrefined cacao bean, star anise, roasted malts and char bitterness. Perhaps some notes of roasted coffee beans that haven't yet been ground up or brewed as well; subtle.
Taste - Here, the licorice aspect is more pronounced than on the smell. Now the chocolate bittersweetness and elements of roasted grain are complimentary to the unique flavor profile of Anethole, the chemical that makes licorice/anise/fennel seed/star anise all have that licorice-y taste. I don't think I've had a stout or porter that has a stronger licorice element than Black Butte. That being said, it's not overpowering by any means. It blends well with the bitter and sweet profiles and as someone who isn't terribly fond of licorice candy, it works extremely well here.
Mouthfeel - Medium-to-full bodied, with moderate carbonation and a somewhat sweet and bitter finish.
Overall, one of my favorites in the style and was really the first beer to get my attention from Deschutes. It will continue to be the best option available in many establishments that don't have an absurd selection of craft beer and I'm quite pleased by that fact.

RCF Financial Aid
Financial Aid - Monetary Grant
We know that cancer treatment for your pet is costly and can create financial hardship. If your household income is below $50,000 per year and you are struggling and need help, you may apply online for financial assistance. Based on your resources and the projected cost of care, RCF may elect to offer you financial aid to cover a portion of your pet's cancer treatment. This is outright financial aid, not a loan, and does not have to be repaid. All financial aid money MUST be sent directly to the veterinarians or holistic/ homeopathic specialist(s) treating your pet. All veterinarians and specialists to whom we will send financial aid money on your behalf MUST be identified in your financial aid application. As part of the financial aid award process, RCF will prequalify them to receive money on your behalf. RCF reserves the right to revoke financial funding due to non-compliance of the terms of the application agreement. Matching Funds RCF may offer you matching funds. RCF will match the money you raise on your own on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to an agreed upon maximum amount.
Matching Funds
We encourage you to fundraise on your own for your pet's treatment costs and you may find some helpful fundraising ideas on the FUNDRAISING IDEAS portion of our website. You may send the donations you collect to us if your donors are expecting a proper tax credit and you do not want to report the donation as income. Your donors should specify the donation is for your pet so the amount is sent to the fund in your name. All matching fund donations, including the portion you have raised on your own through the RiedelCody.org website, will be sent directly to the veterinarians or holistic/homeopathic specialists identified in your approved financial aid application.
We cannot issue checks directly to you, the pet's owner. Only those funds donated and sent to directly to RCF are tax-deductible charitable contributions under our 501c3 status. All donations become the property of RCF and must be used for the pet's cancer care. Please review the terms of your financial aid carefully so that you understand what the funding can be used for and what it cannot be used for. While RCF will, to the extent possible, honor requests to help a particular pet, if the donations received by RCF for a particular pet exceed the treatment costs, or if the pet has passed away, or for other reasons it is deemed prudent by the Board of Directors, the funds will become part of the general fund of RCF and then become available for financial aid for other pets with cancer. Any remaining funds following completion of treatment are not refundable to the pet owner or to the donor(s). All funds you raise privately that you wish to include as part of our offer to match funds must be paid directly to:
The Riedel and Cody Fund
129 Glover Avenue
Norwalk, CT 06850
Getting Started
- First read through our FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: FAQ for common questions regarding funding.
- Next review the GRANT PROCESS TIMELINE to make sure the timing will work for your pet's care.
- Fill in our GRANT REQUEST ONLINE FORM to begin the application process.
- Download the application for funding provided in the Grant Request Form and complete all information requested.
What Do We Ask of You?
If you qualify and receive financial aid from RCF, we ask that you:
- Provide weekly progress updates via your pet's profile and/or blog.
- "Like" us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and share updates with your friends.
- Promote The Riedel & Cody Fund as much as possible. It is through donations to our organization that we are able to continue helping other pets.
- Consider volunteering to help other families through the cancer treatment process for their pet.
- Fundraise for our non-profit so we can help many more people struggling with the costs of cancer treatments.

Question by corharozan 273 · Dec 02 '11 at 06:34 PM · caffeine withdrawal paleo
I'm on day 5 of the paleo, I gotta say I feel AMAZING. No more food coma's after meals, a huge increase in energy, my acne is clearing up, and my body is shaping up nicely, and most important confidence boost! Ive stuck to the paleo very well so far, not having too many problems-- but I told myself when I started I wasn't going to give up coffee--yet.
I take the GRE in 18 days, and personally, i'm not ready for a weeklong caffeine withdraw when it's crunch time to study. But, eventually, I'm going to try to give it up. Anyone have suggestions on giving up coffee? Cold turkey the best option?
Although I will be giving it up nevertheless, how bad is coffee for the Paleo diet anyway? I stick to just black coffee--no sugar or cream. I can't picture paleolithic cavemen brewing coffee in their caves, so I'm concluding it's not exactly "paleo-approved."

In moderation, I think it's generally considered fine, it's certainly still widely consumed in the paleo community! But any addiction that you don't know you can walk away from is 'harmful' in my opinion. I'd say go cold turkey, make sure you stay fed and take pain-killers for the headaches or get a lot of sleep. And then use it as a stimulant on occasion for increased performance. You don't need it every day, and it's not very effective either.
If it's not a great time for you, there's no rush, but ultimately the answer is going to come from your own experience.
Answer by Beth-WeightMaven 15491 · Dec 02 '11 at 06:43 PM
I've given up Diet Coke more times than I'd like to admit. And while the caffeine load may be different (I averaged between a quart and a half-gallon a day at my worst), what I found helped was to go mostly cold turkey except for about 25 mg of caffeine for 3 or 4 days after going off. That seemed to have prevented the massive caffeine withdrawal headache the last time I gave it up. And then giving up the 25mg is not so hard at all.
Re coffee in general, it has its plusses and its minuses. I never drank it, but I don't think a cup or two is an issue.
Answer by Firestorm 12721 · Dec 02 '11 at 07:53 PM
I drank 1-2 cups a day for many years, and didn't give up coffee until I gave up nightshades (coffee isn't technically a member of the nightshade family, but it's family Rubiacaeae can have some of the same alkaloid-induced pain/immune issues that come from Solanaceae). I still drink tea. I think that, if you're not having issues with it for some other reason, there's no particular reason to have to give it up.
Answer by Russ 1 574 · Dec 02 '11 at 11:49 PM
I never drank coffee, but made it to 30 on Mt Dew... switching to Diet after that. When I went paleo ~3 months ago, I went cold turkey off caffeine and replace with the all-natural LifeShotz full of vitamins and antioxidants. Although somewhat expensive, at 1 per day it's cheaper than my Diet Mt. Dew habit. Feeling pretty good, but not very scientific in terms of assessing merit. Should probably try going without a few days?
Answer by Anonymous Chump 6496 · Dec 02 '11 at 11:52 PM
Give up coffee? Never!
Answer by Dorado Galore 8408 · Dec 03 '11 at 05:01 AM
Isn't it interesting, how conversations about caffeine/coffee ("Is it good or bad?") invariably seem to invoke the emotions associated with religion?
Maybe because for some, coffee is a sacrament. Me included.
Reach for my coffee, lose your hand.
Answer by BA88 248 · Dec 03 '11 at 01:50 PM
I would say give it up cold turkey. But don't do that without some sort of help for instance licorice will temporarily stop the breakdown of cortisol into cortisone and will give the adrenal glands a break. In fact it is nourishment for most of the endocrine system. Taking Lugols iodine will also help the thyroid and other glands of the endocrine system as iodine is found in the greatest concentration here. Look for other adaptogens, however be wary that they are high phyto-esrogens, licorice not so much, so depending on your stance and whether you can handle them, they would be helpful. I personally feel great once I take something like licorice or ashwagandha but the next day I feel fatigues to hell.
The caffeine has likely stimulated your endocrine system (especially adrenals) to some sort of point where it would cause cravings, even one coffee for some people is addictive. This involves the fact that caffeine stimulates a few of the adrenal hormones a.k.a cortisol and other hormones like dopamine. That great feeling you get when you drink caffeine (depending on whether it makes you feel crud or great!) is the hormone surge.
Go cold turkey and support yourself with supplements. Maybe try valerian or chamomile if you feel anxious, they genuinely help the nervous system to relax.
Oh and don't forget decaf coffee still contains stimulants, i.e. theobromine (so does decaf tea) so best avoiding them to get you on the path to no caffeine. It is a nice treat though, thats the way I see it. Establish a no caffeine life and then indulge once in a while.
p.s tea such as the common tea and red bush (rooibos) is a big source of fluoride, depending on the soil of course.
Answer by MarcelaTizo 256 · Dec 03 '11 at 02:24 PM
Cold turkey all the way. Worst 3 days of my life, but my heart rate, circulation and sleep pattern are very grateful. I have the odd bit of dark chocolate, but that's all the caffeine I can tolerate. Other people can drink it and not become addicted, unfortunately not the case for me...
Answer by Stephanie 6 233 · Dec 03 '11 at 12:18 PM
For me coffee is no good. I love the thought of a comforting warm delicious cup of coffee, but the after effects are totaly not worth it. Increased cortisol, increased hunger, hypoglycemia, sugar cravings. For some the extra stimulation is harmful, if you have no negative side effects, then go for it. I do recommend yerba mate tea as a alternative the crash is so minimal, hardly noticible, and the energy is uplifting and clean.
Best wishes!

Meet Our Faculty
Traditional Undergraduate Program
Adult Degree Programs
Financial Planner Program
Non-Credit Language Courses
Academic Success Center
Bulletin/ Catalog (PDF)
- Dual Degree
Programs offered:
B.A. in Engineering—Dual Degree
Oglethorpe is associated with the Georgia Institute of Technology,
the University of Florida, Auburn University, Mercer University, and
the University of Southern California in combined programs of
liberal arts and engineering. The programs require the student to
complete three years at Oglethorpe University and the final two
years at one of these engineering schools.
In this combined plan, the two degrees which are awarded upon the
successful completion of the program are the degree of Bachelor of
Arts in Engineering - Dual Degree by Oglethorpe and the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Engineering by the engineering school. Because the required
pre-engineering curricula of the five affiliated schools are
slightly different, the student is advised to consult frequently
with the faculty member serving as dual degree engineering program
Engineering is a difficult subject. Students can maximize their
chances for success by starting at Oglethorpe where the facultys
primary concern is effective teaching and working closely with
students. Classes are small, and laboratories offer the opportunity
for hands-on experience with sophisticated equipment. This strong
foundation gives the student an excellent preparation for
professional school, resulting in more effective learning in
advanced engineering courses. As a liberal arts and sciences
university, Oglethorpe stresses broad education for intelligent
leadership. Here, the student will explore the fundamental fields of
knowledge, further his or her understanding of science and
mathematics, and refine the abilities to read, write, speak, and
reason with clarity. This preparation will serve the student well in
any career but particularly so in the engineering field. With strong
preparation in engineering plus a liberal arts education, the
student will be ready for a variety of career positions. The Engineering-Dual
Degree program provides an education that is both broad
and deep, a combination that will serve the graduate well as career
responsibilities increase.
The Engineering—Dual Degree program requires a significant number of mathematics courses, all of which have prerequisites. Additionally, all introductory-level science (biology, chemistry, physics) lecture courses have mathematics prerequisites, and some also have mathematics co-requisites. Several of these introductory-level science courses are required for the Engineering—Dual Degree program. While the aforementioned mathematics prerequisites can be satisfied in a variety of ways, the most efficient way for most students is to take the mathematics placement examination no later than the start of a student's first semester at Oglethorpe. The mathematics placement exam will diagnose if a student has sufficient mathematical acuity to exempt any (or all) of the mathematics prerequisites and, if not, will also diagnose an action plan for preparing the student to satisfy prerequisites in the shortest possible time. Please consult the Oglethorpe University Bulletin Sec. 5.4.1. and Sec. 5.4.2. for additional information. Students who satisfy the relevant mathematics proficiency prerequisites their first semester at Oglethorpe are urged to register for the appropriate mathematics and science courses right away. Students needing additional math preparation must acquire the needed expertise in time to begin the necessary mathematics and science courses in their sophomore year; in that case it will likely be impossible for the student to complete the required Oglethorpe coursework in three years.
B.A. in Engineering—Dual Degree
During the three years the student spends at Oglethorpe, he/she must:
1. Complete the entirety of the Core curriculum.
2. Complete all of the following courses:
CHM 101 General Chemistry I (and laboratory, CHM 101L)
CHM 102 General Chemistry II (and laboratory, CHM 102L)
MAT 131 Calculus I
MAT 132 Calculus II
MAT 233 Calculus III
PHY 201 College Physics I (and laboratory, PHY 101L)
PHY 202 College Physics II (and laboratory, PHY 102L)
3. Complete one of the following courses:
MAT 236 Differential Equations
MAT 372 Linear Algebra
4. Complete other courses chosen based upon the student's intended engineering area of specialization. Consult the Engineering—Dual Degree program advisor.
5. Additional requirements and things to note:
a. Engineering—Dual Degree students may not use Oglethorpe financial aid assistance to attend other institutions.
b. The two years of technical education require the completion of courses in one of the branches of engineering. Please consult frequently with the faculty member serving as Engineering—Dual Degree program advisor.

Ridiculous Tips for a Miserable
This month: Cosmo and Men's Health give you an F in Bedroom 101.
By Ben Reininga
Each month like clockwork, men's and women's magazines hit the newsstands, bursting with terrible sex and dating advice. And each month, we pick out the worst tips and mock them for your edification.
It's May, and that means school is out and summer is upon us. Without the pencils and the books, what on earth are you going to do with yourself? Well, your favorite men's and women's magazines think you should enroll in a course of a different kind. No, they don't mean a computer course, you stupid prude — they mean an intercourse. That's right, sex!
In the words of Cosmo, "You don't need to bazooka the Serta to bring out his ballsy side and make your sex life explosive." If we had the faintest idea what that meant, we're sure we'd agree. Suffice to say that sex — like figurative language — can be wacky, complicated, and downright hard to master. Whip out your pencils, kids, and get ready for some sexy learning with the help of your favorite men's and women's magazines: Cosmopolitan and Men's Health.
Cosmopolitan: "Don't forget to moan"
This month, Cosmo is very goal-oriented. That's right, it's all about the Big O. (Your orgasm, not Oprah.) In the words of the writers, "Triggering your orgasm can seem like a major project." In an article called "The World's Best Orgasm Tricks," said project is broken down into an easy 1500 words, two infographics, and approximately 127 childish euphemisms for body parts. We never said it was going to be easy. Cosmo's proposed steps are as follows:
1) Turn "up the volume on your moans." Say "things like, 'Omigod, right there feels so good.'"
2) "[Pulling] him toward you for a steamy kiss, use your tongue to demonstrate to him what you would like him to do to your hoo-ha." If he has trouble getting procedural information from your tongue, simply direct his attention to "your ta-tas." (They're located directly above your hoo-ha.)
3) "Don't forget to bust out the positive reinforcement: telling him how good it feels, moaning and groaning, and gently tugging on his hair."
4) Now, once "he's between your legs…frame your clitoris by making a V with your index and middle fingers. Angle your body towards his face... then scoot back. Swivel your hips up and down or side to side." Christ, this really is a major project!
5) "Say, 'Ooh, keep doing that.'"
6) Repeat something aloud "to stay mentally focused. A string of sexy yes, yes, yes's or a moaning a phrase like 'I'm gonna come' over and over." Don't forget your mantra!
If you finally make it to the finish line, do not relax! "Recapping is a key step;" do it quickly, while everything is still fresh in your mind. If a verbal recap doesn't "tattoo these moves into his brain," maybe try a PowerPoint presentation. Just do your best to ensure that your sexual encounter contains absolutely no spontaneity or playfulness. This is a complicated matter, and something could go wrong.
Men's Health: "Jumpstart her arousal system"
This month's Men's Health is packed with more doctors than a university library. And they're not those fake "doctor of poetry" doctors either. They're real science doctors who run real-sounding institutes like The Smell & Taste Foundation. Advice straight from the halls of medicine:
1) Before sex, go for a run, which "will raise her dopamine levels, easing her anxieties." (That's a good thing, since we know she's got a lot to remember tonight. )
2) Cook some asparagus, since "it's packed with zinc, a key mineral needed for maintaining erections." But don't shower off. "Your post-run sweat has androstadienone... that spikes her arousal when she smells it." Mmm, androstadienone.
3) Eat some chocolate — it's caffeinated and so "can jolt the sex drive." Oh, and it's packed with phenylethylamine, which can "activate the brain's pleasure centers." Activate me, doctor!
4) She's got her dopamine and her androstadienone; you're bursting with zinc, caffeine, and spunk. What could possibly be missing? Orange juice. "Vitamin C boosts your adrenaline" and "the citrus will jumpstart her arousal system." Just drink it quickly, because she's about to start moaning, and once she does, she'll never stop.
Bonus tips
Even with all this instruction, something could still go wrong. Fortunately, the mags have got your back.
1) What happens if you're out of lube? Cosmo suggests, "Mix 1 tablespoon of saliva (the kind deep in your throat works best — its viscosity makes it a good substitute for lube) with one tablespoon of water to stretch the spit." (They don't really explain if you're supposed to whisk it together in a bowl in the kitchen, or if you should just hock a loogie onto his junk, then reach for your measuring spoons.)
2) What if your vibrator is out of batteries? Cosmo suggests using "your electric toothbrush" or "your iPhone." There's an app for that. Men's Health, on the other hand, would have her "kneel on the end of the bed with her upper chest touching the mattress, while you stand behind her." Why? Because "it elongates the vaginal barrel." Um, score! You probably didn't even know that vaginas had barrels.
3) Finally, what if you have a nosey roommate? Rent a horror movie and play it while you have sex. "If they hear any screams, they'll assume it's the movie." This will also create a relaxed ambiance.
And that, boys and girls, will do it for today's lesson. Enjoy your summer, and be sure to remember that a happy sex life — like anything else — takes dedication, hard work, and a lot of vitamin C. And study up! Your favorite magazines will be back next month, and there might be a quiz.

Use "your iPhone"? All of us BlackBerry owners are shit out of luck.
This is ridiculous...
My favorite is:

I'd just hack a loogie ;-)
"There's an app for that." hilarious.
The saliva mixing advice is truly beyond gross. Who does that?
my friend has a double-barreled vagina
Vagina stencils. Weirdest thing ever!
Does anybody know what stores sell, deep throat saliva?
Nothing says "let's get it on" like teenagers being brutally murdered by serial killers or supernatural creeps. Won't having a movie on interfere with the mental focus? How will it disguise the sounds of your love making when you'll be repeating your yes mantra when the screams stop?
If you're the kind of prude who has to use words like "ho-ha" or "ta-tas", you probably deserve that lumbering cave man who apparently can't find his way to your clit without an arrow.
Screw Heidi Klum, I'm buying that for the stencils. Score!
now i'm jealous my magazines don't come with pubic stencils
Um, isn't it common knowledge that the LAST thing you want to eat before oral sex is asparagus? It makes guys' spunk taste uber funky.
Oh my, pre-sex asparagus is the key to having the worst-smelling junk ever, and an awesome way to prevent oral sex from happening. Also, I hate going for a run before sex because then i am tired.
Watching a horror movie during sex reminds me of a CSI: Miami episode a few weeks ago. (It didn't turn out well.)
Nothing says romance like post-oral PowerPoint. Does he have to take a written test later over the events of the evening?
My stylist has his own salon now, but this month's COSMO was the only magazine he had to offer. Seriously. Colour takes a long time, I read that stupid rag end to end, and felt condescended to *and* grossed out by the end. Seriously, who's the target market for that crap?
Target audience. Gullbile idiots.
Target audience - 19 year olds who think it makes them look adult.
I've done the horror movie thing... :/
So if I roll my hips during penetration would that be considered a vaginal barrel roll?
deserve a high five.
i want a lady
ok so... we're supposed to go for a run, eat some really low cal food like oranges and asparagus...and then screw for the 2 hours it will take that horror movie to finish? is this really supposed to be great advice on how to get an orgasm? or great advice for how to faint?!
cA3fC7 I serched through the internet and got here. What a wonderful invention of the mankind. With the help of the network you communicate, learn, read ... That helped us to get acquainted...
I also like how women want you smelling like exercise BO just before sex. And hocking a loogie for lube? F-ing seriously? Because nothing makes me hot like *snort* *hhhhhaaaawwwwkkkk* *ptui*.

I think there is a marketing component to this. Stoops as a head coach in a league cannot say, no matter what the question from a reporter, that his team is not in the toughest conference out there. Coaches in the B1G, Pac 12, and some even in the ACC, will all twist the answer in a way to champion their conferences' accomplishments. If Stoops had said, "Hell yes, the SEC is the best conference," how could he then walk into Texas to compete for players against other outside of Texas recruiters? He has Arkansas, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State, Kansas, et al to compete with for the 4 and 5 star Texas recruit who is willing to go out of state. Anyone counted the number of Texas players on OU's roster? And now there is A&M in the SEC? Stoops fan base is not happy with him right now. Getting stomped in post season play by the SEC has to be spun as an annomaly. Stoops is on borrowed time if he does not pull something spectacular out of the hat. And with the recruiting year he just had, that is not likely. His one saving grace, Texas still has Mack Brown as their head coach, so he may be able to tear them up enough again to hold the dogs at bay.
Don't tell Oklahoma's Bob Stoops that the SEC is special. When discussing the gap between the Southeastern Conference and his own league, the Big XII, on Monday, the Sooners' coach had this to say:
"Well, it depends on what gap you're talking about. What are the bottom six doing?
… So they've had the best team in college football. They haven't had the whole conference. Because, again, half of 'em haven't done much at all. I'm just asking you. You tell me...
So you're listening to a lot of propaganda that gets fed out to you. You're more than smart enough to figure it out. Again, you can look at the top two, three, four, five, six teams, and you can look at the bottom six, seven, eight, whatever they are. How well are they all doing?"
This is the new argument for folks outside the SEC. "Well, it's really just a few schools that are good." Unfortunately, that's a hollow argument. Here's why:
|Teams Winning BCS Titles
|5 (Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Tennessee)
|Big XII
|2 (Oklahoma, Texas)
|1 (Florida State)
|Big East
|1 (Miami, FL)
|Big Ten
|1 (Ohio State)
|1 (Southern Cal – Vacated)
Has everyone in the SEC won a championship during the BCS era? No, but five teams have… which is more than double the number of title-winning teams any other league has produced in recent years. That seems like a rather sizable gap.
Obviously, no league can have 14 schools all win in a given year. League-mates beat up on one another. But top to bottom — that's top to bottom – the SEC dominates everyone else come bowl season, sending more teams to bowls and winning almost 60% of those games.
Traditionally speaking, the bottom programs of the SEC have been Kentucky, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt. Last season, Vandy beat the ACC's North Carolina State in a bowl game. The Commodores have won two bowls and been to three since 2008.
Last season, Ole Miss beat the Big East's Pittsburgh in a bowl game. The Rebels also won a pair of Cotton Bowls over Big XII teams Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
Last season, Mississippi State fell to Northwestern (Big Ten) in its bowl, but the Bulldogs have won their other two bowls since 2009 beating Michigan (Big Ten) and Wake Forest (ACC).
Kentucky has fallen on hard times in recent years, but the Wildcats have been to five bowls since the 2006 season and won three of them (over Clemson, Florida State and East Carolina).
And speaking of the Wildcats, perhaps Mark Stoops can clue his brother in on the dangers of the SEC when he runs the league's gauntlet for the first time this fall. Though Brother Bob should already know all about the SEC. He's lost to both LSU and Florida in BCS Championship Games.
