- "Don't hate the little man, because he's packing a 6 shooter!"
- ―Little Bill singing a Song
Little Bill is auditioning as a performer inside the Four Dragons Casino during the opening cutscene of the mission A Home in the Hills. He is singing his song, entitled "Small but Perfectly Formed". Kendl and Woozie reject him because they say they wanted someone with a little more "mass appeal". Little Bill gets mad and leaves. That is the only time he is seen during the whole game.
Mission Appearances
GTA San Andreas
- Little Bill is one of two midgets in the whole Grand Theft Auto series, the other one being Jimmy the actor. He is the only midget to be seen in person throughout the series.
- Little Bill is somewhat arrogant, as he says "Women like me. Men want to be like me!" after being rejected.

WASHINGTON – A new elephant will be joining the herd at the National Zoo in Washington after her companion died at a zoo in Louisiana.
The zoo announced Friday that Bozie, a 37-year-old Asian elephant, will join three others in Washington. In March, a 46-year-old elephant named Judy died at the Baton Rouge Zoo, leaving Bozie alone.
Elephants are a herd species, so zoo officials say they don't want to leave one alone.
The National Zoo recently opened a larger elephant facility after a $56 million overhaul, including a walking trail. The expansion more than tripled the elephants' living space. The zoo plans to triple the size of its herd.
Bozie is considered beyond her reproductive years. Once she arrives, she will be quarantined for 30 days.
Asian elephants are critically endangered.
Bozie will be on loan from the Baton Rouge Zoo after her last companion at the Baton Rouge Zoo died in March. (Courtesy Smithsonian National Zoo.)

Who cares what Feingold says. He's the leader and founder of a Progressive PAC that's always asking for money now. Go away Rusty.Hide replies
You know, "Rusty" will smoke your boy RoJo if he wants his Senate seat back, right?
no way Rusty will ever win an election here is Wisconsin.
Stan, are you implying that 'your boy' Rusty didn't want his Senate seat when he was beaten by "RoJo".
Good point, our current campaign system is devoid of corruption...
I care.
can't - you care about yourself.
Harebare evidently you care about yourself...no one but you
Russ who? He's totally irrelevant now. Go away.
Let's just start with getting voter ID in place.
Oh look everybody, the very first comment on the topic is from someone who supports Walker and Paul Ryan, politicians who both supported voter ID ....which was supposed to resolve the non-existant problem of voter fraud. that support would suggest that this person would support *any* legislation, regardless the side introducing it, if it meant less corruption right???
but when a former politician, who happens to be a democrat, who by the way is calling out members of his own party, suggests we need legislation to expose corruption in campaign (and unlike voter fraud, we have substantial, documented proof it exists) it's instantly dismissed and downplayed....that sort of logic sounds fishy to me....Hide replies
Vote Fraud exists....it's just hard to prove. Vote fraud works for Democrats now, but not forever.
God exists... but is hard to prove. It works for Republicans now, but Obama got elected.
@paulryanrocks - voter fraud does exist but not to the extent where specific legislation was needed....where's the proof, beyond the onsey, twosey examples that supporters of voter ID bring up....take off your partisan blinders....they're embarrassing you...
I love when liberal nitwits proclaim a problem does not exist, when it does exist. Yet, the same liberal nitiwits will proclaim a problem exists (i.e., 'climate change' or 'global warming') when it does not exist.
HareBear...where's your documented proof??..and I do not mean anything that you have from the Koch Brothers either!
If you are exceeding the speed limit but there are no cops to check are you breaking the law? You bet. How do you prove voter fraud if there are not checks. You are correct it cannot be proven, but we have illegals here, illegally working, illegally skipping paying taxes. Do you really doubt they do not vote?
This is so important. People are beginning to lose faith in our democracy and elections.Hide replies
Can't happen is losing faith in democratic party principle of rigged elections. He is upset because even with 'rigging' elections, his party still lost in WI, and he is now lost faith in his party.
Russ who?
Feingold is correct. I hope he runs for senator again. He can't beet Senator Johnson, so I guess there's only one thing left to do.
Scooter and his henchmen would never get re-elected if this were to pass...
What I don't understand is, why does any normal citizen disagree that campaign donations should be public? Don't you want to know who is supporting your elected officials? Or are you just going to turn a blind eye, as long as it gets your guy elected? Candidates for public office should absolutely have to disclose where their money comes from, because then everyone can see which special interests have politicians in their pockets. People who oppose this are only acknowledging the obvious, that they don't want the general public to know who is supporting their preferred candidate. If anyone can come up with a reasonable argument for keeping campaign finance private (aka the PACs) then by all means, reply.Hide replies
Here's why panther: because ninkompoops like yourself, would end up on the front porches of some of these donaters squatting to pinch a loaf! Get it, liberal nitwit?
HareBear you have your head in the sand!
I believe his head is stuck in another part of his body.
So Russ is supporting voter ID now? that's where all the real corruption is found.

RIP - Mattie
Her Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of her
as gone away-
her journey has just begun.
Life holds many facets,
the Earth is only one.
Just think of her
as resting from
the sorrows and the tears,
in a place of
warmth and comfort
where there are
no days and years.
Think how
she must be wishing
that we could know today,
how nothing
but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her
as living
in the hearts
of those she touched,
For nothing loved
is ever lost-
And she was loved
so much.

So very sorry for your loss of Mattie, your story is heartbreaking. Lovely photos of her too, thank you for sharing them, I can see what a sweet and gentle little soul she was.
Like many others on here we lost our precious golden almost a year ago now. You have definitely come to the right place where others understand what you're going through. Feel free to post stories and photos both of Mattie and Sheeba, we would love to hear more about them. Time will help you, and remember that they are always watching over you.

I am so sorry to hear about Mattie. What a beautiful name and a beautiful girl. I know only too well, as do many on this forum, the intense grief. I lost my Oakley on Nov 23rd and still find it difficult getting through a day without him. Know I am thinking of you. Rest peacefully Mattie.

I'm having a really tough day, as I did yesterday as well ... I went out for a few minutes just to try to collect myself, and then I feel worse because it's so sad coming back to the house where she was always patiently waiting... I find myself still thinking she'll be here when I get home... deep in the bottom of my soul I feel like I have a hollow spot, frightning at times to be in so much anguish.. I can barely bring myself to eat anything.. because Mattie was so much a part of our meals... she got so excited especially for salmon patties... doubt I'll ever be able to fix those ever again ... Please remember me in your prayers tonight .. thanks again for being so understanding and so compassionate .. I realize that many of you are going thru new grief as well, and I will be praying for comfort and peace for all of us ... {{{{hugs to each of you that has been so kind to me}}}} sheebamattiemom

Mattie is beautiful and the picture of her you took in Nov is really breathtaking. I think the fact that you woke up and you were able to be with her when she took her last breath is special -- you were with her and she died peacefully at her home.

The depth of your grief will lessen, but not before it's time. Mattie left you exactly as she was meant to, with everyone snuggled in their beds, following a routine as old as she was. Dogs are stoics, and goldens never want to worry their people, so she kindly let you know just in time for you to hold her and kiss her goodbye as she got her angel wings. Please don't feel guilt; your Mattie wouldn't want you to. She knew and continues to know how much you loved her, that you did everything in your power to have her spend her last days in comfort and ease. She is smiling down on you, surrounded by a pack of beloved angels, all of whom were mourned as you are now mourning her. She's healthy and whole now, while you are not. Take all the time that you need, cry as much as you need to, and know that a whole bunch of us understand your overwhelming sorrow. I'm sorry Mattie's not here in the flesh, but she is snuggled tight in your heart, where she'll always be.

I am so sorry for your loss of your beautiful girl Mattie. It's the hardest time of our lives to lose one of our faithful companions. Our prayers are with you that you'll receive peace and comfort during this time and to cherish all the memories you have of her. She'll always live in your heart forever.
Run free and play hard dear Mattie, our boy Rhett and many other Golden friends are waiting for you at the Bridge.

I doubt if there is anyone on this forum who has lost a precious golden that has not gone through the same thought process. We lost our Emmy in April to hemangiosarcoma and I kept saying to myself - what should I have done, why didn't I realize she had the tumor, did she know how much I loved her. In my heart I know I did everything for her and she knew how loved she was but those thoughts still creep in. We know how much you loved Mattie and Mattie definitely knew. You did everything possible but you have to remember that with hemangiosarcoma when the symptoms show up it is usually advanced. It is an evil disease. My thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry you are going through this pain and heartbreak. We all truly understand how you feel, because we are all in various stages of grieving and healing. Mattie was beautiful; sweet, sweet face. We lost our Buddy 13 months ago and I am still missing him so. Grief is a process and you will go through many feelings for a long time. I am coping better now, but there is still a lingering sadness from his loss. I too believe we will be reunited someday, and pray that my loved ones in heaven are watching over him. Be kind to yourself and don't second guess...it only brings pain and no real answers. After being a member of this forum for over a year now, I have come to the conclusion that all these members are great Moms and Dads to their fur babies. We all loved, took care of, walked, played with, .......Cherished our Goldens. We will always remember them, love them, and hold them in our hearts. Your Mattie knew this too. I pray for all of us every night..we will get through this together. Hugs to you too!

Food recalls are coming in fast and furious and it's often hard to keep track. In this series of recall round-ups we share the most up-to-date information on the foods you should be scrutinizing right now.
IKEA Meatballs
The news is just the latest in the ongoing crisis over the unadvertised and unexplained presence of horse DNA in beef products sold across Europe. Read more on the story.
King Arthur Flour
Specific lot numbers can be found on the King Arthur website. Consumers may return affected products to the point of purchase for a full refund and call the King Arthur Flour Consumer Hotline at 866-797-9178 Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET.
In further flour news, Dakota Specialty Milling also announced a voluntary recall of the company's specialty flours and grain blends due to the possible presence of fragments of thin metal wire from a defective screen on one of its manufacturing lines. The company supplies ingredients to brands of variety breads, cereals, crackers, granola, and nutrition bars but does not sell directly to the public.
belVita Breakfast Biscuit

Crankcase heating cables are designed to prevent motor damage and reduced efficiency by minimizing refrigerant gas absorption into the compressor oil when it is cold outside. Their self-regulating properties ensure energy efficient heating with no need for thermostat control and no risk of overheating. A crankcase heater is a recommended accessory for all heat pumps.
The heating cable installs around the body of the compressor in the outdoor heat pump equipment, and hooks into the voltage already available there.
Crankcase heating cables are constructed with a high-powered self-regulating core, are double insulated and attatched to a flexible nylon locking strap. It is a non-metallic product that will not corrode and is most effective in the prevention of moisture and condensation ingress. The thin narrow profile gives flexibility for the heating cables to be fitted to a wide range of compressor shapes and sizes.
- For all hermetic compressors up to 5 HP
- Ground wire and rubberized outer jacket

Volvo Car Corporation reinforces efficiency leadership with new initiatives in model year 2013
Volvo Car Corporation reinforces its European leadership in fuel efficiency improvement by new CO2 initiatives. From model year 2013 the majority of all diesel-powered versions of the Volvo S60, V60, V70 and S80 will have CO2 emissions below 120 g/km. All of the larger cars in Volvo's model range can also be equipped with the new systems Road Sign Information, Active High Beam and Tunnel Detection.
"The conventional diesel and petrol power trains continue to play a major role on the environmental agenda. We continuously improve their efficiency. In the last two years Volvo has brought CO2 emissions from our diesel and petrol model ranges down by 13 percent and in model year 2013 we introduce several new improvements," says Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development of Volvo Car Corporation.
New diesel with 136 hp
Volvo Car Corporation extends the diesel offer with a new entry-level 5-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbo diesel in the Volvo S60, V60, XC60, V70 and S80 models.
The engine, which has an output of 136 hp and maximum torque at 350 Nm, will be badged D3. The engine is available both with a manual and an automatic gearbox. All variants except the XC60 D3 with automatic gearbox have start/stop.
The new diesel engine offer also includes the D2 with 115 hp, the D4 with 163 hp and the D5 with 215 hp.
"From now on the DRIVe symbol will not be used for denominating specific car models since we extend Drive-E to embrace all Volvo Car Corporation's sustainability efforts, from production to recycling," explains Peter Mertens.
Strong figures
The new CO2 figures (EU Combined) for manual versions of the Volvo S60, V60, V70 and S80 demonstrate Volvo Car Corporation's leading strength when it comes to fuel efficiency.
The D2 engine combined with automatic Powershift gearbox comes with the same low fuel consumption and CO2 levels as the manual versions in the Volvo S60, V60, V70 and S80.
"For the first time ever we have managed to bring the fuel consumption in variants with automatic gearbox down to the same level as in the manual versions. Another impressive achievement by our powertrain experts," says Peter Mertens.
New driver support systems
The Volvo S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 can also be equipped with the new systems Road Sign Information, Active High beam and Tunnel Detection.
All models with automatic gearbox come with the new illuminated gearshift knob, first introduced in the all-new Volvo V40. The gearshift knob is transparent and LED-illuminated from inside. The pattern is reflected to create an exclusive 3D illusion.
Other model year 2013 news
The model year 2013 versions of the Volvo S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 will be available before the summer 2012.

One of the most significant advances in the country in the last few years is that of easing access to a lot of activities where before one had to queue for long hours to get served.
Accessing some of the services such as banking and paying for the various services such as water, electricity involved spending hours in queues.
The situation changed dramatically recently thanks to the new technologies which have speeded up dispensing of those services.
All that one needs now is to possess one of those modern mobile phones, otherwise called smart phones, to access those services from wherever one is.
At one time, when one announced that he or she was rushing to the bank or to pay a water or power bill, the office counted out his or her contribution for the day, knowing that the person would be gone for the rest of the day, reinforcing the inefficiency that was keeping the economy down.
Such workers could not expect to access the service and make it back to the office to do any useful work, unless they were well known and received preferential treatment.
But now literally every other service provider is busy designing systems to offer more efficient services through the new, touch-button technology.
The government, one of the largest public service providers in the country is looking for ways to improve its efficiency through e-government.
The huge benefits from the new technology are there for all to see. People are now able to use the time that was otherwise wasted in endless queues to do some valuable work and thus enhance productivity.
The technology also ensures in many cases a 24-hour service as opposed to the manual one, where some service providers would be closed by the time workers left offices and wanted to access those services before retiring for the day.
However there are certain developments which if not addressed urgently could reverse the efforts and send the country back into the days of long queues and poor services.
In the last few days some of the services provided through the new technology have suffered intermittent breakdowns, catching relaxed consumers off guard.
Just the other day the power vending network broke down, catching many of the power consumers off guard.
Those who had no units to keep them going while the system was being repaired, were forced to go without electricity, resorting to charcoal, candles, batteries and kerosene for lighting and cooking.
Similar situations have been experienced by those using the automated money transfer systems, who find themselves hit by breakdowns at times when they need to withdraw cash to pay for emergency needs, but no banks are open.
We must hasten to point out that the negatives experienced by users of the new technologies far outweigh the benefits to them and the economy as a whole.
The providers must however continue to improve reliability, by ensuring that there are back-ups and fallbacks for customers in case the systems fail.
In this era of competition and constant technical improvements, nothing but quality service will ensure providers build a loyal client base.

Negotiators have been talking through a 4-inch-wide ventilation pipe to a man holding a 5-year-old boy hostage in an underground shelter in rural Alabama.
The standoff entered its second full day Thursday after authorities said a gunman pulled the boy off a school bus and killed the driver Tuesday.
The police chief of the adjacent town of Pinckard, James Arrington, says that the two are in a bunker that's about 4 feet underground and has about 6-by-8 feet of floor space.
He says the man identified by neighbors as Jimmy Lee Dykes has been sleeping some.
The chief also says the man holds strong anti-government views and the FBI has reason to believe the shooting of the driver was a hate crime.

Silver Spring, MD., July 18, 2006—Carbonfund.org, the leader in carbon offset services, today announced that PHH Arval, a leading provider of fleet management services in North America, had offset the annual emissions from their automobile sales fleet. The emissions total of 448,000 lbs of CO2 was offset via a contribution to Carbonfund.org. Carbonfund.org retired the equivalent amount of CO2 via credits from a bio-digestion project based in California.
"The demonstration PHH Arval is making in both recognizing the financial impacts of global warming, and the adaptation of its business practices as such is fantastic," said Eric M. Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "PHH Arval is leading the way in demonstrating that good environmental practices and good business go hand in hand, and Carbonfund.org is glad to provide our services to their efforts."
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life for every individual and business. Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in one location, where it is cost effective, to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. By supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sequestration projects Carbonfund.org will retire an equivalent amount of carbon offsets.

All around the US today Republicans experienced a mass simultaneous orgasm upon hearing the news of Russia's successful test of the new Topol RS-RM12 intercontinental ballistic missile. Cheers for Russian dictator and would be restorer of the old Soviet Union Vladimir Putin went up amidsts much groaning, twisting, moaning, and gyrating. One local tea party republican woman was heard to exclaim "Oh Vlad baby do us with your big fat missile..oh yeah baby, do it!" Rudy Giuliani gushed over the launch saying "See, that's a real man and a real patriot, he got that big hard missile erect and shot off in no time! We would all do well if only Obama were not a commie socialist weakling unlike that handsome and virile Comrade Putin!"

It stands to reason that an adequate diet is necessary for a child's healthy growth. Proper nutrition, including an array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids (EFAs), is particularly necessary in the first few years of life to support brain development and prevent certain neurologic disorders. Even among older children, a lack of certain dietary components, such as protein, or an insufficient number of calories can negatively affect a child's learning and behavioral abilities, and vitamin or mineral deficiencies can certainly interfere with learning over the course of a school year. To date no convincing evidence has shown that a poor diet causes ADHD, or that dietary supplements can be used to successfully treat the condition. Nonetheless, healthy eating and family meals are lifestyle choices generally supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
In the 1950s Drs Abram Hoffer and Humphry Osmond began using megavitamins containing large amounts of vitamin B3, vitamin C and, later, pyridoxine (vitamin B6) to treat schizophrenia. This treatment was based on the theory that schizophrenia and some other forms of mental illness are caused by a genetic abnormality that greatly increases the body's vitamin and mineral requirements. By providing patients with enormous doses (megadoses) of these substances, Hoffer and Osmond felt that psychiatrists could provide an "optimum molecular environment for the mind" in which the symptoms of mental illness would diminish or disappear.
In the 1960s the chemist and Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling put his support behind this theory, giving it the name orthomolecular psychiatry and greatly increasing its visibility among experts and the general public. In the 1970s Dr Allan Cott claimed that hyperactivity and learning disabilities were also the result of vitamin deficiencies and could be alleviated with megavitamins and large doses of minerals. Treating ADHD symptoms in children with nutritional supplements—supplements that contained at least 10 times the recommended daily allowance of vitamins, minerals, and other necessary elements—became an increasingly popular alternative to stimulant medication, particularly among families who considered megavitamins the more "natural" approach.
Research has failed, however, to reveal significant positive results from megavitamin therapy for children with ADHD. While some early studies resulted in improved classroom attention ratings for subjects taking megavitamins, these studies were marred by the fact that the children, their parents, their teachers, and the researchers were all aware that a given subject was being given this new form of treatment. When the studies were repeated using the double-blind method discussed earlier, so that no one knew whether a particular child was taking a megavitamin or a placebo, no behavioral improvement was shown. In fact, it was discovered that disruptive behavior increased in a significant number of the children given the megavitamins.
Studies have also suggested certain abnormalities in the way the liver functions among children on megavitamin therapy, signaling possible toxic effects of this high level of vitamin intake—a strong reminder that "natural" substances are not always safe, especially in the highly "unnatural" doses prescribed here. As a result, experts have concluded that megavitamin therapy for ADHD is of little benefit for nearly all children with the condition—and potentially harmful. In 1976 the AAP Committee on Nutrition issued a formal statement to that effect. No subsequent studies have provided evidence that would change this opinion. This is not to say that children with ADHD should not take any vitamins, just that vitamins at normal doses and even megadoses are not in any way an effective treatment for ADHD.
In the wake of the enthusiasm for megavitamin therapy, a number of specific nutritional elements have been studied regarding their possible role in the development of ADHD and their potential for treating the condition. These elements include iron, magnesium, pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and zinc.
All of these substances are known to be necessary for optimal brain development and function. However, no difference between children with or without ADHD has been shown for levels of zinc, iron, magnesium, or vitamin B6, and no links between these low levels and ADHD-type behavior have been established to date. No significant improvement in ADHD behaviors has been demonstrated when supplemental doses of these substances are provided. As with all children, any true nutritional deficiency should be corrected with a standard supplement or a change in daily diet. But supplementation should not exceed the daily recommended allowance because higher levels of some elements (zinc in particular) can prove toxic.
A number of other dietary supplements have been proposed to replace the use of stimulants in treating ADHD. Principal among these are nootropics, antioxidants, and herbs. Nootropics, specifically a substance called piracetam, have been advocated as cognitive enhancers for children with Down syndrome, dyslexia, and ADHD. While there is no scientific proof of positive effects relating to Down syndrome, one convincing study did show improvement in reading ability and comprehension among children taking piracetam supplements. While there is a rational basis for theorizing that piracetam may also improve ADHD-type behaviors because it is believed to enhance the transmission of the same brain chemicals influenced by stimulant medication (dopamine and noradrenaline), no controlled studies have yet been published, so this treatment cannot be recommended.
Children with ADHD as well as people who eat a modern American diet may have low levels of certain EFAs (including EPA and DHA). In a study of nearly 100 boys, those with lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids had more learning and behavioral problems than boys with normal levels. Studies examining whether omega-3 fatty acids can help improve symptoms of ADHD have found mixed results. A few studies have found that omega-3 fatty acids helped improve behavioral symptoms, but most of these were not well designed. One study that looked at DHA in addition to stimulant therapy found no effect. More research is clearly needed, but for now eating foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids is certainly a reasonable approach.
Deanol (DMAE), lecithin, and phosphatylserine are other cognitive enhancers (nootropics) frequently found in over-the-counter ADHD remedies available in health food stores or on the Internet. Lecithin and phosphatylserine have not yet been sufficiently studied as treatments for this condition, but DMAE has seemed in one reliable study to be as effective as the stimulant methylphenidate in treating target behaviors. It is clear, then, that though these nootropics cannot currently be recommended as a substitute for stimulants due to insufficient evidence, they are currently being researched and warrant further study as a potential future treatment or complementary supplement for the symptoms of ADHD.
Antioxidants and herbs, used for many centuries in traditional medicine, have only recently come under scientific study. Some of the substances that have been marketed as treatments for ADHD include pycnogenol, an antioxidant derived from pine bark; melatonin, another antioxidant known to successfully treat sleep cycle disturbances in certain children; gingko biloba extract, often used in Europe to treat circulatory and memory disorders; and such herbs as chamomile, valerian, lemon balm, kava, hops, and passion flower. While melatonin can be useful in addressing sleep disturbances in a child with ADHD, and the herbs mentioned may also be useful as mild sleep aids, the reported positive effects of these antioxidants and herbs as treatments for ADHD core symptoms have been solely anecdotal so far, and there is insufficient scientific evidence to support their use.
If you do decide to administer any of these substances to your child, it is important to inform your child's pediatrician and then carefully monitor their use because some can lead to harmful effects if used in combination with other medications. Gingko biloba extract, for example, must not be taken with aspirin, anticoagulants, or antidepressants, and the herbs listed should not be used when taking sedative medications due to the danger of compounding the sedative's effects. It is necessary to keep in mind that these substances can vary considerably in potency from one preparation to another, and that they are not standardized or regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Other theories about the causes of, and treatment for, ADHD have evolved from the hypothesis that certain substances that are present, rather than absent, in a child's diet may lead to or worsen the condition. The suspected harmful substances include artificial food additives, preservatives, sugar, or other elements speculated to cause allergic responses or yeast infections that can lead to the development of ADHD. According to these theories, eliminating such elements may eliminate or diminish the symptoms of ADHD.
In the mid-1970s a groundswell of concern about the effects of food additives, artificial flavorings, and dyes in the American diet accounted for, in part at least, to the huge popularity of the Feingold Diet as a treatment for ADHD. Dr Benjamin Feingold, a practicing allergist, theorized that these food additives, as well as substances called salicylates (contained in many fruits and vegetables), were causing hyperactivity and learning disabilities in many children.
In his book, Why Your Child Is Hyperactive, Dr Feingold claimed that when these children were given a special "elimination diet" that omitted these substances, half of them showed a dramatic improvement in behavior. When the elements were reintroduced into the children's diet, the symptoms returned. Most controlled studies do not support that elimination of these substances leads to better outcome for children with ADHD. Only about 2% of children with ADHD on the Feingold diet have shown consistent behavioral improvement when these food dyes were eliminated. However, reduction of processed foods that contain artificial dyes and substitution of healthy foods may in general promote better long-term health. Moreover, the behavior management strategies that parents must use to change a child's eating behavior from frequent use of candies and processed foods to healthy choices are the same techniques that are used to improve concentration and increase work production.
In the decades since the Feingold Diet was introduced, studies of the impact of diet on behavioral disorders have become more sophisticated and reliable. Newer research has shown that behavioral improvement using elimination diets is more likely in children who have inhaled and food allergies, a family history of migraines, and food reactivity. Younger children seem to be the most responsive. Whole foods like milk, nuts, wheat, fish, and soy have been implicated in addition to additives. Elimination diets can sometimes influence sleep and mood disturbances as well as ADHD symptoms. Sensitivities to substances in the environment—in medicines, clothes, water, our homes, the air, and so on—have also been studied as they relate to children's health and behavior. The results have shown a link between sensitizing foods and some health and behavior problems in a small percentage of children with ADHD. In most cases, these children experience a variety of coexisting health and behavioral difficulties in addition to ADHD—particularly sleep-related and neurologic problems. They are also likely to have a family history of food sensitivities or migraine headaches.
Because this link has been established, if food or additive sensitivities are highly suspected in your child, he may be tested for them by first eliminating an entire range of common foods (typically milk, soy, wheat, corn, citrus, and peanuts) for 2 to 4 weeks. If his symptoms improve—signaling the possible presence of a food sensitivity—the range of foods can be restored to his diet, then one food at a time can be removed for a short period, with the results being monitored. This process can continue until the correct substance has been identified or all likely possibilities have been exhausted. This procedure may be difficult to carry out, and it is advised that if you are interested you should do this along with a physician or certified dietician. It is extremely important to pick countable targets (such as "2 or fewer tantrums per day") rather than general impressions ("will demonstrate better behavior").
Meanwhile, it is important to understand that for most children with ADHD who do not have food sensitivities (and for some who do), elimination diets are not effective treatments for ADHD itself. If your child is on a special diet, you will need to make sure it is not replacing a more effective treatment for ADHD symptoms. In most cases, stimulant medication,behavior therapy, and the other measures described in previous chapters will have a much clearer positive effect on your child's ADHD-related behaviors, while a well-balanced diet with few processed foods may improve his general health and attitude.
Humans are naturally attracted to sugar because it tastes good and because our bodies rely on glucose—the form of sugar found in natural foods—for metabolic processes. Like many other children, children with ADHD often have strong sugar cravings, and this has contributed to the belief that sugar and candy consumption can cause hyperactive behavior. A great deal of objective evidence, however, has shown that this assumption is untrue for most children with or without ADHD. While one early study did reveal a link between high sugar consumption and hyperactive behavior, there was no evidence that one caused the other or that the behavior problems were not due to different parenting styles or other factors. A number of subsequent scientifically rigorous studies could not demonstrate any adverse effects of sugar on the behavior of children. As for children with ADHD, sugar consumption has not been shown to cause or enhance ADHD-related behavior.
Of course, allowing sugar only in moderation makes sense for any child. Again, assuming leadership within the family, making healthy choices about what is offered to the child, and using behavior management to educate children to reduce sugar and processed food may have general benefits. If your child shows an uncontrollable craving for sugar and carbohydrates, discuss this with his pediatrician. Aside from issues relating to general health, a sugar-free diet is not considered a useful tool in treating ADHD. Researchers have found again and again that the simple elimination of sugar or candy, with few exceptions, does not help children with ADHD.
Aspartame, an artificial sweetener that became available in the early 1980s, consists of amino acids that cross from the bloodstream into the brain to affect brain function. (Interestingly, it was used as the placebo in some of the studies of sugar's effects on behavior.) It was believed that among individuals susceptible to this substance, aspartame might lead to seizures or ADHD-type behaviors. No such effects have been demonstrated, however, and elimination of aspartame for children with ADHD is not considered an effective treatment except for children with phenylketonuria, a chemical disorder that prevents some people from being able to break down or metabolize aspartame.
In the mid-1980s, Dr William Crook, a practicing pediatrician and allergist, popularized the theory that hyperactivity, irritability, and learning disorders in children could be caused by chronic candida (yeast) infection. The theory behind this is that when the immune system is weakened, or when antibiotics are being taken, "friendly" bacteria in the gastrointestinal system are eliminated and yeast can take over. Those who feel that this process has a deleterious role in children with ADHD believe that toxins produced by a yeast overgrowth weaken the immune system and make an individual susceptible to ADHD. Because of this they support the use of antifungal agents and sugar restriction. There are no sound studies that support this hypothesis or this treatment.

We discussed this process with Michael and traveled the past thirty years of rock music with him – it was a wild ride! Pick up the new album Second Coming here!
Tell me a bit about the new record!
We got a new album coming out on the 26th in the States! It is fourteen old songs re-recorded and two brand new songs. It's an album that we made just as a way to own and retain the rights to our music for film and TV with our publishing company. It wasn't going to be a record that we released publically, but then we decided that since it was turning out so well that it would be fun to release it and do a couple of new songs. That's what we decided to do. We shopped for a deal and signed with Frontier records. They're releasing this one and two other records coming up.
I've heard of a lot of bands doing that with old songs.
A lot of bands are doing that for that reason, for that very purpose; to retain the rights, cut out the middle main, and regain ownership of the masters, not the songs, but the masters. I think it's great, but you know the unfortunate side to that is you're trying to recapture the magic of the originals. I think a lot of bands fail at that. I hope that we're not one of those bands. I hope that we were able to capture the original energy and at least do as good a job, if not a better job than the originals. But you know, time will tell, when it comes out and the reviews start coming in, that's gonna say it all.

WASHINGTON — In confusing whether an ammunition magazine can be reloaded and the difference between that and a clip, Rep. Diana DeGette didn't do gun-control champions — including President Barack Obama — any favors last week.
DeGette, a Democrat from Denver, has been a pivotal leader at the federal level to strengthen the nation's gun laws since she entered Congress in the mid-1990s.
She has, at least three times, introduced legislation to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines, and she has signed on to a handful of other gun-control bills that have been introduced in the past year in the wake of the shootings at an Aurora movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school.
Yet last week at a public forum hosted by The Denver Post's editorial board, DeGette made one of the largest gaffes of her career on the very issue she purports to be so passionate about, and the comments came at one of the most politically inopportune times for her party.
Asked why banning ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds would be effective in reducing gun violence, DeGette responded:
"These are ammunition, they're bullets, so the people who have those now, they're going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won't be any more available."
Magazines, in almost every kind of weapon, can be reloaded.
Then, later in the day, in explaining the mistake, DeGette spokeswoman Juliet Johnson made another one.
"She simply misspoke in referring to 'magazines' when she should have referred to 'clips,' which cannot be reused because they don't have a feeding mechanism," Johnson said.
Clips, too, can be reloaded in almost every instance.
DeGette's comments went viral in social media, and her remarks were replayed on cable television and talk radio and posted on countless blogs throughout the country.
Those on the other side of the issue brandished the comments as proof of a stereotype that the whole of Democrats in Congress are a bunch of liberal elites who have never even used a gun and should stay out of issues they don't know anything about.
"You have the prime sponsor of legislation who is representing her party in Congress who is clearly uninformed about the basic mechanics of the item she wants to further regulate," said University of Colorado political scientist Ken Bickers. "It's death by 1,000 knife cuts, and those can't fit into a magazine."
The timing also couldn't be more poignant.
The nation is embroiled — both within the states and in the nation's Capitol — in a passionate debate about gun rights.
Colorado's legislature has passed three new gun-control laws, including a limit on ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds and stronger background checks. Some of the proponents of those bills have received death threats.
Last week, Obama flew to Denver to project the image of sensibly discussing the issue from a reasoned perspective.
"Part of the reason it's so hard to get this done is because both sides of the debate sometimes don't listen to each other," Obama said at the Denver Police Academy on Wednesday. "You hear some of these quotes: 'I need a gun to protect myself from the government.' 'We can't do background checks because the government is going to come take my guns away.' Well, the government is us. These officials are elected by you."
In Washington this week, Congress will return from a two-week break and begin the debate on tightening the nation's guns laws — including universal background checks and a possible proposal to ban assault weapons.
A recent CBS News poll shows waning support for tighter gun laws, with 47 percent of people who desire them, compared with 57 percent immediately after the Connecticut school shooting.
The question for those passionately trying to push this legislation forward on Capitol Hill is whether DeGette's comments have impugned her credibility to successfully lobby for the cause.
"It certainly compromised her ability to be a lead spokesperson for the issue, and it compromised the issue itself at the margins," said Denver-based political analyst Eric Sonder-mann. "What you always want to be on the guard against, particularly something as red-hot as the gun debate, is needlessly feeding the other side a simplistic stereotype of you."
He continued: "You'll see her inevitably, due to political reality, have to take a back seat, maybe a passenger seat, on this debate."
DeGette wouldn't answer questions posed by The Post over the weekend on whether she will continue to promote stricter gun control as one of her top issues.
The congresswoman acknowledged in an editorial published Friday that her comments were "inartfully stated." She blamed the politics of the gun lobby for the national attention.
"As I have learned in two decades of work on gun violence prevention issues, the gun lobby takes every opportunity to intimidate, and attempt to silence, anyone who stands up to fight to make our families safer," DeGette wrote. "They have done it for decades, and this week, as I continued my pursuit of common-sense gun violence prevention, I found myself in their sights."
Annmarie Jensen, a gun-control lobbyist at the Colorado state Capitol, said she thinks DeGette's lack of knowledge about guns is representative of the majority of the country.
"She clearly doesn't know her way around the gun," Jensen said. "I think (her) remarks highlight the fact that some people believe the only thing guns are ever used for is violence. She's obviously coming from that perspective. Then there's the farmer, rancher, hunter who thinks of it as a tool."
Jensen noted that one-third of Americans have a gun and said the other two-thirds probably don't know much about them.
"I think people in America are entitled to have opinions about things that we don't know a lot about," she said.

Interesting - seeing as it's easily verifiable fact.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 01:08 PM
But it's not another life is it? As it stands now we have a licensing system which needs to be adhered to, depending on who you are of course, which involves being able to attract a reasonable crowd, cash, stadium, junior development et al. Winning a GF counts for very little in the process. If you can show me the evidence that Sheffield have these attributes then fair do's. Sheffield is not a RL city and never will be despite Mark Aston's remarkable efforts. They pulled off one of the biggest shocks in Challenge Cup history in beating the star studded Wigan side at Wembley but even that didn't capture the imagination of the Sheffield public, so why would it now?
What's changed?
Posted 10 October 2012 - 01:16 PM
When will they be ready then. I cant see crowds improving dramatically under the current ridiculous way of selecting a promoted team. You could have the best marketing team in the world but it will be almost impossible to convince your man on the street in Sheffield to go to games which are meaningless, especially in a city used to promotion and relegation.
The other problem is that Sheffield could actually go downhill next year on the pitch and momentum would be lost. This would be a crying shame. Would have been wonderful if the Eagles has been rightfully promoted this year
Posted 10 October 2012 - 01:26 PM
For those on P&R bandwagons.. it would be THE WORST thing to happen to sheffield next year IMO, they would desperately try to stay up spending money on the team and not having any to spend on the more important aspects of a "club"...
Posted 10 October 2012 - 01:28 PM
But basically Cas are £2M in debt and owe a large tax bill then?
Posted 10 October 2012 - 01:42 PM
when i grew up in sheffield the school i was in had to travel to the likes of wakefield to play Rugby there were very few playing either code in sheffield.. now there are a number of schools playing rugby of one form or an other (tag, union, league).. i am surprised by how many to be honest from when i left... and even from the late 90's this has changed massivly.. with a super league team this could be exploited more so than it is at the moment.. look how long it has taken other areas to do this... i am not saying it will work but to discount it as a possiblity is going against what both you and i have said about london, ie that they have only really been going at the youth since 2000 and may be a bit after so they are doing well and they have been in super league in that time.. eagles have not and have only been in existence in this guise since 2000!
OK so let's say over the years they have had a couple of crackerjacks from Barnsley, and a couple of promising kids from Sheffield and Derbyshire. Would that make them a good proposition for Superleague?
Posted 10 October 2012 - 01:46 PM
I agree about Don Valley Stadium and, for different reasons, Bramall Lane.
Personally though, I reckon the new(ish) stadium at Chesterfield might be a better bet, particularly if the club is serious in its aim to 'claim' the midlands.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 01:47 PM
Posted 10 October 2012 - 02:00 PM
Can you enlarge on that in a letter and send it to the rather brilliant sports administrator Andy Burnham MP........
Posted 10 October 2012 - 02:06 PM
In that guise - happen. But Sheffield have had a Rugby League team for 28 years now.
When I was a kid, I don't recall people referring to Whitehaven or Workington as "new teams" and they'd been going a lot less than 28 years.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 02:07 PM

Posted 10 October 2012 - 02:34 PM
Basically (Sheffield) has only really been going after youth for the same length of time as say London, who are only just starting to see the fruits of its labour, and London have had the Super League club + umpteen development officers etc to help them out.. Sheffield have not.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 02:41 PM
Did it a bit ago.. pointing out that both (licensing and P & R( have their merits and that maybe its time to give a different way of working a chance before burning it like a heretic!
Edited by The Parksider, 10 October 2012 - 02:42 PM.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 03:46 PM
I do not understand the "different way" is that P & R??
If so we gave it a chance for 34 years.
RL World analysed it's value recently and declared it was right to burn it at the stake.
You yourself stated it would not have worked this year.
Clubs who missed out on being promoted in recent years have had the exact same lack of money Sheffield have which you cited was the reason it would not work this time.
I don't understand "give it a chance"? To do what? Put clubs into SL who can't afford it and remove clubs who can??
Thanks for your views and the usual well balanced and thoughtful approach to them.
Certainly London have had several advantages over Sheffield and of course you forget the biggest one. Mr, Hughes and up to £1,500,000 of private money each year to run an SL club and fund the academy player development - to a point.
The reason for London producing several quality SL players whilst Sheffield have produced none is that London has the money and Sheffield do not. It may also be as you say there's more development officers in London than in Sheffield.
If all things were even who would produce the most SL quality juniors? If anyone wants to argue Sheffield then that's fine.
BUT it doesn't change the realty on the ground that Eagles have a very small junior RL base, and no money.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 04:47 PM
no it wouldnt... we would have had a year of getting shelackings (thanks stevo) and crowds dwiddling becuase we are getting tonked week in week out.. spending money we dont have on players to try and stay up instead of concentrating on the important things like academies and sustainability.
Yes the first paragraph is tough if that attitude prevails but from talking to people in the city (shocking this) they dont see an issue when you tell them how it actually works, many see it as eminantly sensible.. its just then getting those people through the gates, and they are working hard on that to be honest..
you have a very negative view on liscencing but it is not necessarily true of many..
Posted 10 October 2012 - 05:09 PM
Just started reading this thread. Got here and thought i ought to reply so sorry if this has already been mentioned.
Was talking to a friend about this over the weekend.. What has changed? the football sides have plumeted down the leagues, Wednesday have nearly gone under and United are pretty poor at the moment. when we won the challenge cup Wednesday had had a good run in the Premier League, the league cup win of 91 and the final of 93 along with the FA Cup final of 93 were not that distant a memory banks along wth good years in the premiership, United also had years in the premiership to remember, an fa cup semi in 93 and one against newcastle in the not too distant. People really thought the football teams were going to kick on.
Now both are rubbish and many many moons away from any chance of glory (unless wednesday some how have a run in the fa cup this year ala millwall from a few years ago) but with the right marketing etc the fans could (but i stress could) turn their attention to RL for success..
a few people have said on here about moving fans away from football and to RL.. but that doesnt really make sense.. why do we have to move them away from football??? what we need to do is make them go and watch RL.. its not an either/or situation.. the seasons overlap a bit yes but why cant we have both..
If you look at the coverage in Sheffield it is pretty shocking.. but this can be worked on, 2 grand finals and 1 win can be used to try and attract the fans.. this is some of the hard work that the club have to do over the winter. Last couple of years the club has been getting into the schools.. that may ramp up a setp or two and with this success it may help. My little boy does a "play ball Rugby" session which Jack Howeison runs with help from some of the other players on a Saturday morning (my boy is only 4).. I take him and chat to some of the other dads, some of which i have known through nursery etc. All of which now that their kids are getting into Rugby are showing an interest in the club Jack is playing for, i am try to take advantage of that and next year will take a trip of these dads to a game. 1 anecdote yes but Jack does these sessions all over Sheffield, how many others may be doing the same as me. Some of these sessions are into the private schools here too.. money men starting to get an interest perhaps..
again its very much clutching at straws and anecdotes but its interest and from small acorns etc. yes a lot of work has to be done, but its not necessarily all done and dusted just yet..
What i would say is that Eagles ought to apply this time around, with a view to the next one but to get an idea of where they are and what they need to do.. but i dont see why Sheffield cannot grow into a good club with a good solid base.. just as good as umpteen clubs already in the league who have had a good long time to become "power houses".
for those on P&R bandwagons.. it would be THE WORST thing to happen to sheffield next year IMO, they would desperately try to stay up spending money on the team and not having any to spend on the more important aspects of a "club"... more than that with P&R who ever came down last year would probably have won this year and so clubs like the eagles wouldnt have the chance for a bit of success to try and build things from...
anyway fact is box is ticked, they are allowed to apply so let them.. if they fall well short then so be it, if they dont and they get let in the lets, as this big RL family every so "admires", get behind them and hope it succeeds.

Golden egg
this wiki
The golden egg was a magical device and the goal of the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament. It was about the size of a regular dragon egg and placed among the female dragons' eggs, where Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, Cedric Diggory, and Harry Potter had to retrieve them. This was very difficult, considering that they only had wands.
The eggs contained disembodied merpeople voices singing a song to the champions, letting them know that they had to come to the lake and rescue something very valuable to them, which turned out to be a person very close to each of the champions. As the voices were those of merfolk, they could only be understood underwater. If opened in open air, the egg would screech and make a horrible racket.
Harry Potter did not pay much attention to the egg the first weeks, the reason being him thinking he had hordes of time. He did not figure out the clue until he took the advice of Cedric Diggory and "took a bath" with the egg. With the urging of Moaning Myrtle, Harry opened it up underwater. After some contemplation, he asked Myrtle if there were merpeople in the Black Lake. When she confirmed this information, Harry got out of the bath and headed back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Along the way he fell through a trick step in the staircase and dropped the egg, after seeing "Bartemius Crouch" on the Marauder's Map, which he assumed to be Barty Crouch Sr. Caretaker Argus Filch found the egg and, because Harry was under his Invisibility cloak, assumed that Peeves had stolen it. The egg was returned to Harry after Professor Moody, who was really Barty Crouch Jr., secured the egg from Filch.
The egg's clue
Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching ponder this;
We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And to recover what we took,
But past an hour, the prospect's black,
Too late it's gone, it won't come back.
Behind the scenes
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, the golden egg is floating over fire.
- In the book, the egg is with other dragon eggs, while in the film, the egg is alone.
- In the film adaptation, the 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th lines are cut, and replaced by other lyrics.

Comments On Mar 04, 2016:Don't waste your money on this mask unless you like a poorly constructed product that doesn't perform as advertised. Seriously, this product appears to have been sewn together by a Chimp or child with absolutely no skills. Where is the quality control? Another reason you might like this product, if you are one of the afore mentioned who like poorly made products, is the smell. Do you like the smell of chemicals, children? Wear this mask for five minutes and you will taste neoprene the rest of the day. The smell of this mask will taint the taste of all you eat or drink hours afterwards.

Comments On Jan 02, 2013:I bought a few of these as XMAS gifts for friends and of course one for myself.
Already had a Razor mask that worked pretty good, but thought the incorporation of a bandana as an integral portion of this mask was a nice design.
Used them over the holiday on some dusty Arizona trails and found these to be far superior to the Razor design. These masks are truly easy to mold to your nose bridge for proper fit...yes the Razor mask does too, but not quite as comfortable as this mask. On top of that two other factors should be mentioned: (1) obviously, the bandana is a plus because it gives dust coverage not only to the chin but also down below the throat--just tuck inside your riding jacket. (2) Air flow was exceptional. Fresh air gets through for normal breathing, while dust does not. The Razor mask was kind of suffocating--kept the dust away but air flow was constricted.
My friends had the same comments.
Hope this helps in your purchase decision.
