text: Minnie's dad says: Minnie is now 2½ years old and is a very rambunctious toy poodle, originally born in South Carolina. You'd never guess, but she's right at home up here in Anchorage, Alaska, and loves to play in the snow. She may look all "prim and proper," but let me tell you she is a country girl at heart. Her big sister, Princess, an apricot toy poodle, is quite a bit smaller but wiser and keeps Minnie in line! Occasionally, Princess gives Minnie a good scolding when she needs it. Minnie's greatest talent is her ability to smile! Every day when I get home from work she literally stands at the top of the stairs and gives a great big doggy grin showing her marvelous doggy "grillz"! It really is amazing because it looks exactly like a true smile! Her favorite toy is her green-and-white stuffed "sticky. She can chew it for hours and often falls asleep with it still in her mouth. We've had a few dogs over the years, but Minnie is clearly the best we've ever had! (Just don't tell Princess!)

They're back for the first time in a while, that would be No Doubt - their sixth and latest is "Push And Shove" and it's on Interscope Records. Wow - 25 years for this band who used to play with the Ska Daddyz and all those Nardcore bands - they're so rich now, they could afford to buy Oxnard and change the name to Locals Only. Since I am not and never have been a 12-year-old girl and thus, never a big fan of this band that used to be a ska band but rather, it's heavily produced bimbonic pop from behind the Orange Curtain capturing perfectly the motivation of those mall mice from sea to whining sea. The title tune is confused and overdone - and in the middle - the core of the album - are half a dozen songs with one word titles with "Gravity" emerging the bouncy best. The obvious focus is the autobiographical, "Looking Hot," during which Gwen Stefani encourages the double-o from her drooling public, asking repeatedly, "Do you think I'm looking hot?" I always sort of thought she looked like a fish. Well, she asked...

A chill lingered in the spring air of Washington, D.C. Sunshine bathed bare branches and cherry blossom buds.
Down on Constitution Avenue, Elizabeth Tallichet was crying.
Through her tears, she marched in her olive-drab jacket, gray skirt and yellow gloves, eyes forward, chin up. Tallichet, then Capt. Machen of the Women's Army Corps, led 195 other WACs past weeping people who were crowding to glimpse President Franklin D. Roosevelt's funeral procession.
A commendation from the WAC commander later praised Tallichet's company for the "military precision" and "solemn dignity" displayed on April 14, 1945.
"It was agonizing," said Tallichet, 86, a retired Army major and former school counselor who lives in Harris Township. "It was a slow cadence, which made it more difficult for us. And everybody was just desolate about FDR's death."
Still, she couldn't miss one bystander's comment as the rows of WACs stepped in unison.
"There was a Marine standing on the sidewalk watching the parade, and he said, 'Wow, look at those girls march!' " Tallichet said. "I guess he thought women couldn't do that."
He wasn't alone.
More than 400,000 women served during the war, the first time women other than nurses were able to don their country's uniform. They struggled for respect from some in the armed forces. Tallichet recalls a few higher-ranking male officers not returning her salute or even meeting her eyes.
A Harrisburg native, Tallichet was an assistant accountant for an insurance agency in 1941 when she volunteered at Eastern Defense Command's Anti-aircraft Operations in Philadelphia. She and four friends shuffled in their socks along a huge map of the Eastern Seaboard, helping track aircraft by placing reports on top of model planes.
After Pearl Harbor, military personnel took over the job. A colonel, who liked the women's work, suggested they enlist so that he could bring them back.
All five did in the fall of 1942. Tallichet had been thinking of joining the Army anyway -- partly from the example of her brother, Bob. He belonged to the 101st Airborne Division regiment, the 506th, celebrated in the 2001 "Band of Brothers" television series.
"We were just a patriotic family," she said.
The reality of Army life hit her in basic training.
Standing at attention on icy mornings in Des Moines, Iowa, made reveille almost unbearable, even in ill-fitting GI overcoats.
"There was one woman in front of me in formation, and she was shorter than me," Tallichet said. "She put her collar up -- we all did, it was so cold -- and you couldn't see her. And we called her 'Walking Coat.' You couldn't see her feet or her head."
Once on KP duty, Tallichet didn't immediately heed a sergeant's order to scoop garbage with a ladle from one can to another.
"I never asked another question again in basic," she said. "You could hear her for five miles away, reaming me out in no uncertain terms."
Officer Candidate School presented a different challenge.
"We were reminded all through OC school: 'You have to do better than the men.' " she said. "That was drilled into us. And there were quite a few who dropped out. They couldn't take it."
After becoming a second lieutenant in February 1943, Tallichet did return to the Eastern Defense Command as an anti-aircraft operations officer. A year later, she transferred to Washington.
Starting in March 1944, she commanded the Mayfair Detachment, named after the old, eight-story hotel where the WACs were billeted. The women mostly worked in the upper echelons of the War Department as clerks. Some typed the D-Day invasion plans.
Among her duties, Tallichet accompanied capital military police every time they took female officers or enlisted personnel into custody.
"They'd come for me around 2 or 3 in the morning, and I would have to get up and go with them," she said.
She did another job alone. Five times, she sat down with one of her women and delivered shattering news.
Her turn came with a call.
She was in her office, and the lobby pay phone rang. With the guard on break, she picked up the receiver. It was her sister-in-law. Days after jumping into Normandy on D-Day, Lt. Bob Machen had been killed.
WACs, typing his name on casualty lists, couldn't bear to tell her.
"I came back to my office and closed the door," Tallichet said. "And my first sergeant came in, and she was terrific."
Tallichet was younger than most of her women, but that didn't stop them from tacking up a Mother's Day card for her as a joke.
They followed her through marching drills in the alley behind their hotel every morning as faithfully as they did for miles on that sorrowful April day in 1945.
She would go on to a stellar career -- youngest WAC staff director of Washington's military district, a regular Army appointment and five years in the reserves until a regulation prohibiting servicewomen from having dependent children forced her to retire in 1954.
But like her old uniform hanging in a case, she'll always treasure the memory of her wartime friends.
"It was an honor to have that company," she said. "They were such wonderful women."

In a previous article, Leonardo's "Angel in the Flesh" was mentioned (somewhat cheekily) as an example of an effeminate male as portrayed by the great Master. Though it is a convincing example, it is certainly not the only one. I have been remiss not to have pointed out - and more seriously, this time - that Leonardo was not alone in this perceived artistic gender-bending. He was his own man, but he was also a product of his time.
You see, in all of the hubbub over The Da Vinci Code, and the ensuing John vs. Mary Magdalene flap, one thing is often overlooked. Leonardo was from the Republic of Florence and received his artistic training in a workshop of the Florentine School.
The Florentine School had a long tradition of often depicting young males as sweet, pretty, rather effeminate persons. Why? Well, it was simply how it was done. It was tradition, and at least partly so because young men were frequently objects of desire - outright lust, if you will - of some, usually older, Florentine men. Yes, pedophilia, as we now describe it.
(Note: "Now" should here be emphasized to stress the fact that it's reckless to assign 21st-century moral judgments to that which was going on long ago in another location. Here and now most of us find beyond repulsive thoughts of sexually preying on minors, but our feelings don't apply to how people viewed things there and then.)
To be clear, the Florentine School was merely reflecting, in its art, Renaissance Florentine culture on the whole. Amongst its many grand, reputation enhancing attributes, Florence also had the rather dubious distinction of being known - all over Christendom - for its permissiveness towards homosexual behavior. In fact, a German dictionary published early in the 16th-century, contained definitions for both "Florenzer" (a descriptive noun meaning "buggerer") and the verb "Florenzen" ("to bugger").
So, by the time Leonardo was working on The Last Supper, he was simply the latest in a long line of artists to portray a young man (in this case, St. John the Evangelist) as feminine looking.
Because a picture really is worth a thousand words, let's cut to the chase and look at some examples in chronological order:
- Giotto. Vision of John the Evangelist on Patmos. (c. 1313/14)
- Giotto. L'Ultima Cena. (1320-25)
- Andrea del Castagno. The Last Supper (c. 1447-49)
- Fra Angelico. Communion of the Apostles. (1451-53)
- Piero della Francesca. St. Julian. (1455-60)
- Andrea del Verrocchio. Tobias and the Angel (1470-80)
- Domenico Ghirlandaio. Last Supper. (1480)
- Alessandro Botticelli. A Young Man being introduced to the Seven Liberal Arts. (1484-86)
- Lorenzo de Credi. The Virgin & Child with St. Julian & St. Nicholas of Myra. (1490-92)
- Leonardo. The Last Supper. (1495-98)
- Pietro Perugino. Archangel Raphael with Tobias. (1496-1500)
- Cosimo Rosselli. The Last Supper. (c. 1500)
- Raphael. St. Sebastian. (1502-03)
- Leonardo. St. John the Baptist. (c. 1513-16)
As you can see, when Leonardo's version of The Last Supper is viewed in context, the John "gender issue" seems less of an issue. Leonardo was sticking to tradition: Biblical (John was the youngest Disciple), Florentine (young men were often love objects) and the Florentine School (young men were often painted as "pretty"). Considering this logically, it would seem reasonable to lend credence to the many art historians who've said no, based on contextual evidence Leonardo didn't paint Mary Magdalene, he painted John. Unless, of course, many art historians have got it all wrong, and the whole Florentine School actually believed that Jesus meant for Mary Magdalene to head His Church.

Salina Chamber of Commerce is thinking outside the box in its efforts to raise money for the 4th of July fireworks display. The chamber is hosting a 5k water run Saturday, June 22.
Since the town promotes Lake Hudson and the firework display will be there, the chamber wanted to include water in the fundraising efforts. A creative chamber member thought up this one-of-a-kind fun run/walk idea. The runners will begin the race at 9 a.m. Following the course around town, like any other 5K. Along the course, however, the Salina Fire Department and other sponsors will set up "ambush stations," to douse the runner with water. Runners can expect to see water balloons, hoses, squirt guns and sprinklers.
Approximately 50 businesses and individuals have signed up as sponsors, earning a place on the official T-shirts. The first 100 participants registered will receive a free T-shirt, but they are going fast.
The event will be professionally timed with medals for each age group, the most sponsorship, the best team costume and fastest overall team.
The chamber is committed to raising $7,000 for the fireworks and is certain this fundraiser is just the ticket.
There is still time to register to participate in the Water Run; an entry form can be downloaded from the Salina Chamber of Commerce website or picked up at Lakeside Jiffy Stop or PigNOut in Salina.

So I've been playing with Voice Band (iTunes link) for about 30 minutes and I can definitely say it's fun. Like many iPhone Apps I will surely use this from time to time for a weird intro or background part in a song. All it takes is a simple import of the audio into Ableton Live. This does a similar trick as the now unfortunately discontinued Antares Kantos plug-in. Anyone remember Kantos? Read the Sound on Sound review of Kantos: click here

America and the Arab Spring
Ms. Mona Yacoubian
Special Advisor
Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention
U.S. Institute for Peace
July 21, 2011 Interview Synopsis
Ms. Mona Yacoubian said that the Arab Spring crossed a "threshold of leaving fear behind" and had been a major step for people in the Middle East towards seeing themselves as citizens rather than subjects. She appreciates the role of both new and old media in the Arab Spring. Ms. Yacoubian said that social media was useful in both "helping to ignite tinder" that was already present in the region and allowing for regional dialogue where leaders could share the "best practices" of nonviolent resistance, but also cited the tremendous importance of pan-Arab satellite TV in drawing the huge crowds of protestors.
Ms. Yacoubian suggested that the case of Syria in the Arab Spring is "as pivotal" as that of Egypt as protests enter into their fifth consecutive month. She cautioned against using the International Criminal Court as a tool for regime change, saying that the combination of dubious effectiveness and the probability it would worsen the situation made it untenable. Ms. Yacoubian said that "speed was the key" in Syria, citing concerns about internal sectarian violence or possible spillover into states like Iraq or Lebanon. She also said it was too early to tell if the heterogeneous ethno-religious nature of Syrian society would inhibit the process of democratization.
Ms. Yacoubian said the clearest way forward for the United States with regards to the Assad regime was a policy of "economic strangulation," carefully and creatively crafted to avoid past mistakes with sanctions as in Iraq, where civilians unfortunately became more dependent on the regime. Additionally, increased diplomatic pressure on states—particularly Russia—that are resistant to issuing a condemnation is necessary. To be effective, such pressure must be accompanied by assurances that no military intervention in Syria is being contemplated. Ms. Yacoubian stated that the Obama Administration had "fallen short" in its response to the crisis in Bahrain, but otherwise did not feel that much criticism of the Administration's policy decisions was warranted.

GS News: Shorter wait to play Xbox One Games and NCAA Dumps EA
Play Xbox One games while they're installing, Forza 5 gets a free day one DLC, and Media Molecule wants more women game designers.
Who thinks Media Molecule is awesome?
There should totally be a Collage Ultimate Frisbee brawler.
To bad its not coming to 360 also
I Jess but I also like Shaun too. For the most part, I like the GS cast in its entirety.
Except for Tom. Still a little mad at him over the TLoU review but even MORE so when he failed to defend his position on that review during the spoilercast. Kind of nitpicking, I know; but I'll get over it.
Bring back the girl!!!
Don't worry Shaun, you did a good job. It's just that you work at GameSpot.com, and this site just happens to attract a lot of people who flip when they see a girl that's even relatively hot. "Nerdgasms" as one guy put it.
All dumb stuff about MS aside, i bet the PS4's play while downloading feature won't always work because, well, it just won't. When the game is downloading obviously all the files aren't there. MS probably doesn't want to say that the Xbox One will be able to play a game while its downloading when they're not sure it'll work. Playing a game while its being installed off the disc works because the console can just preload some files off the disk and then continue installing the game
Jess has earned a break.
I think the last sports game I played was NBA JAM on SNES.... don't care to much for them personally. Don't let them fool you, Jess is really out because she's busy surfing on a great white, juggling koala bears, and playing the didgeridoo. Isn't that what Australians do with their free time?
No Jess Mcdonell = Garbage.
Shaun, take off your shirt and show me your sexy boobies
Wow, you guys completely got wrong why the NCAA dropped EA. The NCAA didn't drop EA because EA was being sued too much, it's because the NCAA is facing lawsuits from numerous college athletes that didn't make a dime from having their likeness used in the NCAA series of video games (amongst other merchandise).
Shaun, when is the next lost between levels? That show is great! Nice work today aswell. I liked the slowly moving camera thing aswell!
Well.. Sony's PS4 does the same thing..
lacrosse game!!!!!!
wtf this report does on Ps3 page?! you know, GS, your fanboyism goes to far ::/
PC, you're always in my heart.
Sony, you're always on my mind.
Nintendo, You're always my best friend.
Xbox, Get a fuck outta here.
All these comments about Shaun being hot... lol
Yet there was an uproar because men were eyeing up Jess? I'm not complaining, I just find it funny. >_<
(Although some comments go too far.)
Came here just because Shawn is hot.
He's pretty good at this but his constant smiling is freaking me out a bit. Its like those overly nice people in movies that kill you once you turn your back and eat your organs, assimilate you, or are from South Carolina or some other such thing.
Shaun is such a delicious piece of eye candy. And that silky smooth voice. Makes me wanna eat him up.
GS needs to use this fine specimen a lot more.
Shaun is too good at this -_-. Quit being so damn capable at things. All professional and unthreateningly good looking. Even to men. Makes me want to punch you in the face. Then instantly regret it. ( why did i do that.?you don't deserve that shaun)
I miss Jess but good work, Shaun.
Dammit Shaun,you just buttoned your shirt too high and what's up with the shirt beneath.Jess put herself more at ease in the videos you should do the same.
=/ But he's not even a little Australian.....
So what, the new xbox would probably take a lot longer to install the game than the ps4 because of its weaker hardware(I hear).
Why day one DLC? stupid f**kin' bull s**t, what's the matter, can't fit it onto the discs?
I don't give a s**t which gender makes games as long they're actually good games.
EA has been a disgrace for sports fans. All they do is milk the sh*t out of their franchises by delivering pretty much the SAME game every year with updated rosters and a very few new tweaks -_-
You're so beautiful today Shaun!
Who cares. If it's a good game, I don't care what gender made it. Get over this sexism bullshit.
Hmmmmm..... Completely agree, more women should be involved in game creation. This may not only serve a creative purpose, but also encourage more females into gaming itself. This would Hopefully dilute the pool of remarks from horny teenage boys/virgins you tend to see in the GS news comments section.
Being able to play the game while downloading though kinda cool, not enough to get me to buy the console at launch, I eventually will get both consoles, but not till months afterward. I wanna be able to just walk in and buy one when I want one, and not have to wait in a stupid line.
@rawkstar007 Uuuggg...Tom never defends his position, he always nitpicks, and he always aggravates people. Let him have his opinion and just calm down, he said he really liked it, that his version of I LOVE IT!!
@Hobbes444 i agree with you to a point clearly pc owners have already had this feature and its not has good has they claim you still have to wait a while for enough data to be downloaded so that the game is good enough to play without it constantly sticking .so to cut a long story short if you have say a 25mb+ connection itll probably be pretty good
@keithkaotic Well, Shaun did it quite well... :D
@cgv5150You just denied what the article said then turned around and said the exact same thing. QUESTION: How does one go about bringing a lawsuit against someone else? ANSWER: By "suing" them smartguy. So in essence - " facing lawsuits from numerous college athletes" IS THE SAME AS (drum roll) - "being sued too much". Wow. Really dude?
I wish people would really think about what they're going to say before saying it. Gotta love this digital age.
@Kyrylo It's also listed under Forza Motorsport 5 which is equally unrelated. Even now?
@Kyrylo They are pushing the next gen war. Too many ps fanboys and us xbox guys going at it ridiculously.
@galiver666 PC! PC! PC! PC! PC! PC! PC!PC RULESSSSS!
@MasterTazo Hahahahaha :D
@Pawfalcon I agree, South Carolina people are scary. Gimme a psychopath any day of the week!
@Johny_47 Sammoth said it all pretty much. For one, Forza 5 has been done and was already sent off to start the disc stamping process so no, they can't just add it on the disc mid production. It's much easier to just have it as a quick download when you toss the game in for the first time. The dev's stated this a few times already.
80% of the games today require a download when you fire it up, some brand new games have day one patches ready to go before you even get home from the store, it sucks but it's been that way for a very long time. I have to laugh about the longer install times... ummm no. I can install a whole disc on my 360 faster than installing a downloaded game on the ps3. Not to mention how slow the psn network is as a whole. 6gb on the ps3 takes like half a day when I get it done and ready on the 360 in about an hour (no install time needed on downloads for the 360).
I hope that since sony is forcing psn+ (for the most part) that they upgrade the servers / services to speed it up a bit as it's always been a gripe of mine. Not saying psn+ is bad because it's not, it's a great deal and worth having for sure.
@Johny_47 LMAO both Optical drives are the same. Has nothing to do with the hardware you're talking about.
Day One DLC was because they had it in place for the always online until MS reversed it's policy. So they figured leave it open for FREE day one DLC. WTF is your problem ?
@SureBigBuster I agree, EA should reinvent football games. Add guns and RPG powers. Dialogue and meaningful story lines choices. An open world to explore. Challenging puzzles and platforming sections.
Then the game certainly would be different from year to year.
@Intellips Just because a woman developed a game doesn't mean more women will play games. It's not like they headline developer names on the game next to the dev company.
@davidsworld3 Should have bought online. I don't have to go anywhere.
@askanison40 @cgv5150 Ye think about what the article says is NCAA is dropping EA because EA is Being sued way too much.
CGV5150 said NCAA is being sued not the other way around so....Drum roll... not the same thing whether the article or the user is right or wrong i don't know but maybe you should follow your own example and "I wish people would really think about what they're going to say before saying it. Gotta love this digital age."
Just sayin
@PeejayYeh @galiver666 for you for you for you for you!
But women may offer a different creative perspective, or at least offer gaming alternatives that may be more attractive to women. Lets face it the industry is dominated by men, catering for an audience that is mainly male. Having more women develop games may lead to games that are more aligned to female tastes.
Games have evolved into another medium that conveys the human experience, having one gender dominate the medium means we are missing out on stories, themes, creativity told from another point of view. Imagine if only men wrote books, or made music. We would be missing out on an array of art delivered from the female perspective. I for one, am sick of the macho bro shooters that seem to dominate gaming nowadays.
Indeed, the male dominated gaming community is often embarrassing. Just look at the posts here when Jess reads the news. There is a misogynistic streak in the gaming community, that I think would be diluted if there were more women involved in this industry.
@askanison40 @Charon1st @cgv5150 Regardless of who is right or wrong my point as i said above read it again is what the user said was different and NOT the same thing as you stated that's my point not trying to school anybody.
@Charon1st @askanison40 @cgv5150 Well, then he was wrong on both fronts b/c the NCAA is not being sued. EA IS the one being sued. It's public record. Granted, the NCAA are the principle witnesses in most of the cases, but the NCAA itself is not being sued. Again - LIKE I SAID - check yourself before you attempt to "school" someone. Especially if you have NO IDEA what you're talking about.

Diet Debate
We debate the various types of diets.
See All
My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
On Easter, I indulged in ham and I eat fish and clams a couple of times a week. I do not think that the 100% blockage they stented happened over night. Another artery was also 100% blocked but that one had built collaterals. Yet another artery was 50% blocked and another between 60 and 70 % blocked.
Diabetics frequently die of heart disease. But I was lulled into complacency because my blood sugars were pretty good after 20 years and on no meds--just diet and exercise. I had an HbA1c of 5.4. Of course now I am determined to get it lower. Cholesterol was 166, LDL 103 and triglycerides 88. Eating as much fruit and starches as I do I was surprised at the trigs. A couple of my doctors assumed I was only borderline diabetic. No.
OK guys. Now what? Strictly eliminate all animal food? I was already not eating dairy, fats or oils (do we count the occasions at my daughter's when I help myself to the snack foods she always has around?)
Esselstyn says moderation kills. It almost did with me. Or do I take a closer look at H's diet and give up rice, potatoes, a diet of mostly vegetables, fruits, beans and use a stick of butter on the few vegetables I would eat and eat the end of the roast beef with mostly fat? The doctors did not talk at all about diet and gave me a booklet with what looks to me like a version of the standard american diet. Neither H nor EG would follow such a diet. This is America. We take pills.
As you can see this is not merely an academic problem for me and I cannot afford to speculate. Because here I am--someone whose drug use amounted to maybe 10 tylenol in the last couple of years, stuck with taking plavix, aspirin, pravachol, lisinopril and metropolol. I am afraid to be non compliant which is my inclination. So I am now subject to all the stupid side effects of these drugs. So much for courteous debate. What do I do?
P.S. The only pain I suffer now is from the chest compression. Evidently it is not done in real life the way you see it in the movies. They have to make sure the chest compresses 2 and a half inches down. I am going to get a medic alert bracelet that reads--start with the paddles.
In 1989 my father in law had a heart attack and had triple by pass surgery.Since then he has had one stent put in after a second heart attack last year.He takes medication and still eats a horrible diet with ice cream and chips every day but is still here at age 87.The point being there are many ways to survive many decades after a heart attack.
Answers,What do you do now?You and I both follow Fuhrman/McDougall closely and your diet is what I would call excellent so I don't know what to advise,but I would look beyond the vegan approach of McDougall perhaps to some of the recommendations of cardiologists like Dr Sinatra who rely on supplements like CoQ10 and D Ribose.Whatever you decide it can't hurt to look.
Keep us posted on the steps you take and the ideas you have.I wish you the very best. JC
What was your reading for fasting insulin level on your last blood test?
What was your last your last hs CRP reading?(C reactive protein...measue of inflammation).
What supplements do you take...everything?
Have you had any tests done such as IMT thickness or a calcium score done by scan?Was it a 16 or 64 slice scan?
I have to go in one week for a Holter monitor and in two weeks for blood work. After that I intend to see as little of these guys as possible. There are about thirty guys in the practice and I refuse to see people who will never get to know me. I foresee arguments.
You might want to tell your doctor you want some complete bloodwork that looks at everything.The two books mentioned below will give the specific types of tests you will need and what to do to correct problems,and supplements that are helpful.
I recommend you get several books ASAP:Track Your Plaque by William Davis
Reverse Heart Disease Now by Stephen T Sinatra
Those two will cost you about $30(Amazon) and will give you another look at how those two cardiologists treat heart disease.
Can you go over your typical daily and weekly die?.Someone here(or on the McDougall board) may be able to pick up some clues that may be helpful in solving the mystery.Be thorough and Include everything.I'm sure Heretic will jump in also.
Copy and paste your posts so you can post here and on McDougall.
I am sending my healing energy and positive thoughts to you.
LDL particle number
LDL,HDL,VLDL,and IDL particle size profiles
Lipoprotein (a)
C-reactive protein (high sensitive)
fasting insulin
Supplements recommended:
fish oil....(if taking blood thinners you may have to skip the fish oil)
raw almonds
raw walnuts
L carnitine
vit D3
sunflower seeds
soy protein
oat bran
L carnitine
In the book, "Eat to Live", Dr. Fuhrman says for diabetics to eat fish twice a week. I think if I contact Dr. Esselstyn he would say to NOT eat any fish at all--look where it got me--and Dr. McDougall would say no fish. All these guys recommend one or another non standardized, non regulated supplement, especially B12 and Fuhrman and Esselstyn recommend D. Some recommend flaxseed instead of fish oil.
I am going to try to get the suggested blood tests above. Possibly another long, frustrating argument with the strangers who are in charge of my life at the moment. But you guys are the best. You are helping me keep my head above the water.
Don't let them bully you.You can let them know whose in charge while still remaining polite.
But insist on what you want done in the way of tests.
In the end,after you gather information from various sources, your own intuition will guide you to the best cource of action for you.
If you ate fish twice a week as I remember reading from your posts, lets say 6oz salmon portions each time, that would make it about 70g protein per week ( 280kcal/week) and 70g fat ( 630kcal/week). Then the fish would add 910kcal/week)
Assuming your daily caloric intake was probably around 2000kcal (14000kcal/week). Thus eating fish added about 6.5% extra calories of animal origin. Therefore your diet would be considered 93% vegan compliant and still very low fat?
But he is not nearly as strict as McDougall/Fuhrman about his plant based approach and advocates some animal products.
Diet is not as big a factor with him as it is with some others.He claims some great results as do some others like Fuhrman and McDougall.
I often wonder if the vegan diets are really just successful due totally to weight loss and the rest is just honest people fooling themselves.
Steamed vegetables,beans,lettuce,brown rice,flax,potatoes,a few almonds make up my daily diet.Once per week I have a a small piece of grass fed beef about the size of a half dollar.(for some natural iron and B-12)I eat less meat than 99% of the rural Chineese.
In other words I eat a more compliant McDougall/Fuhrman diet than 99.99% of the McDougall group.The only difference between me and them is that I constantly question what I am doing and I am always looking at contrary data.
Despite many doubts I plan to maintain my present diet but I am going to keep up some supplementation of D3 and K2,flax and almonds.
About once or twice a week I babysit at my daughter's and lots of times I help myself to the chips or cheese she has there but lately I have been resisting it. I did not get sick overnight and I do not think I will get well overnight.
JC, Esselstyn recommends B12, D3, calcium, multivitamins and omega 3 fatty acids in the form of flaxseed along with cholesterol lowering drugs.
Essy cites a study in the New England Journal of Medicine in which huge doses of statins reduced cholesterol below 150 but the diets never changed and one out of four experienced a new cardiovascular event or died withing 30 months.
The only reservation I have with McDougall's starch based diet is the fact that all the cultures he studied that use starch as the basis if the diet are societies in which people engage in very heavy exercise. If you are out plowing fields or planting rice or walking nine miles a day while herding sheep through the mountains of
Sardinia, you are unlikely to spike blood sugars as you would if your exercise consists of a long walk and/or an hour at the gym each day. Even the Chinese office workers more likely than not biked back and forth to work (as does my son in law who bikes six miles each way to work each day.) And the first generation farm workers that McDougall treated were much more active than their grandchildren and great grandchildren so one has to wonder about their health even if they had continued to eat the traditional diet but did not engage in farm labor.
More vegetables,less starch??
To really know as opposed to appearing to "know", he would have to try out several approaches and document each one. Until Fuhrman tries out at least a high fat low protein low carb diet on himself, beyond his own vegan diet, then I will continue treat Fuhrman's views less seriously then he perhaps deserves. His choice.

Ed Smith Was Desert Hot Springs Music Festival Spokesman for Tony Clarke
Desert Hot Springs, CA – Time flies. It hardly seems that two years have passed since Ed Smith worked in this city. His job, consulting manager for the failed Wellness and World Music Festival, seemingly helped promoter Tony Clarke convince the public the $265,000 city funded event was real and not a sham.
Ed Smith never revealed how much Tony Clarke was paying him. The amount should have been included in the records Clarke turned over as part of a settlement between Clarke and the city when the music festival idea finally collapsed.
Whoever came up with that idea of Ed Smith going to work for Tony Clarke should get an award. Ed Smith's public relations gravitas kept the music festival from boiling over publicly as city council incumbents that were responsible for the deal – and the lost $265,000 – were heading into an election.
The gravitas came from Ed Smith's other job working for the city. Before becoming a music festival manager, he was a highly respected police commander for the Desert Hot Springs police department. Who would question an event with a police commander now at the helm.
Today the city's former police commander has a new job working in tandem with the city's former police chief Patrick Williams. The two are in business together putting on management training. The company is called On Base Leadership and offers classes in Monterey and Palm Desert, California. The two veterans share more than 50 years as law enforcement leaders.
Ed Smith Jumped On Tony Clarke Bandwagon
That Smith would bail out of his police job and jump on board Tony Clarke's bandwagon surprised many but bolstered the idea that Tony Clarke was a legitimate promoter. It was at this time that Clarke's event was just beginning to unravel as the background of Clarke came to light exposed him as not working out of an office or physical business address but working out of a UPS post office box in Marina Del Ray.
[To this day no physical address has ever been associated with Clarke.]
Discovery of shaky business was just the beginning as it seemed that as more and more came out about Tony Clarke more and more there were problems. In fact, the more the media spotlight shined on Tony Clarke the less the city saw of the promoter as he began refusing to answer phone calls and missing scheduled appearances before the city council.
The city council had spent months reeling from effects resulting from the alcoholism of the city manager and the loss of his administrative assistant. That left the media and the public confused as to who exactly was in charge of the quarter millions dollars and skittish about if the event was going to happen.
Ed Smith – Music Festival Spokesperson
That Tony Clarke hired Ed Smith as his spokesperson was seen as a brilliant move and assuaged public concerns, shoring up confidence in the community that the show would still go on.
More months passed with the Smith making promises the city's music festival would still happen with officials carefully making sure the operative word was the event was never officially "canceled" but merely "postponed."
Suggestions the event was canceled were countered with officials promising the assets were not lost and that the promoter would come though. This gave rise to officials casting off doubt by maligning critics.
Thus the public never heard the truth and swallowed the official spin of the bait hook, line and sinker enabling city management and elected officials to avoid responsibility for their oversight failure.
Considerable expenses had already been invested by city employees on behalf of Tony Clarke's event and declaring the event canceled would have declared those city expenditures a loss as well. After all, there was an election looming in November of 2011 and the incumbents wanted a win, not a loss on their record.
Ed Smith – Experienced Event Manager
While working as Commander for the Desert Hot Springs Police Department Ed Smith was paid to work with Tony Clarke. The police department commander said he assigned DHS officers to work at events in Indio, including the Coachella Music Festival, to serve as training introducing officers to crowd control.
Considerable staff time on the city dime was spent planning and developing event parking, traffic flow and security measures needed for Clarke's event. All of Ed Smith's preparation was defined by city manager Rick Daniels as the "music festival assets" explaining these assets had considerable value. Ed Smith had considerable experience in big events.
As a lieutenant for the Monterey Police Department Ed Smith claimed to have gained this kind of event prep and management experience in handling these kinds of large public events. For many years the Montery Pop and Jazz Festival has drawn large crowds with little or no negative incidents.
Ed Smith – Toxic Dump Cleaner Upper
For the three years Ed Smith served as police commander for the city he was an independent contractor and never a city employee. He was specially hired by Police Chief Patrick Williams who brought Smith in to act as his right hand man.
Williams assigned Ed Smith to serve as head of code enforcement. Prior to the police department administering code enforcement that department was administered by the building department. Although independently contracted, code enforcement was in disarray and ineffective in cleaning up the city and it was thought having the police department in charge would make positive changes needed by the city.
The assignment of handling the problem of the Dorama Dump was dumped on Ed Smith. This ten acre site adjacent to a housing development was cited by county, state and federal environmental and health agencies as illegal and toxic. The ground was polluted by thousands of gallons of open raw sewage, battery acid, petroleum products, abandoned vehicles, and dangerous materials.
It became Ed Smith's job to handle the media and he did so with aplomb by insisting on calling the location an "abandoned construction site" instead of the "dump" it had become. Nevertheless Ed Smith finally successfully negotiated a solution for the property owners to clean up the dump and the land was returned to the pristine condition where it has remained to this day.
Postscript… After Smith went to work for Tony Clarke he made several appearances in front of the city council and the media then he just faded away never to be seen in public in the city again. Nearly $100,000 more in extra legal fees have been spent by the city chasing Clarke's music festival issue. The contract for the event had no guarantee of performance. Still, the city's music festival remains alive with Mayor Yvonne Parks recently announcing she will be pushing for the city to sue the promoter even though the city signed an agreement with Clarke promising not to sue. Parks won re-election in 2011 and is up again for re-election in 2013.

While out on patrol, a deputy was dispatched to a Robins Road address May 17 in reference to a vehicle taken without permission. A woman stated that the vehicle in question was taken by her ex-son-in-law. She also informed the officer that the title to the vehicle was missing. She suspects that the ex-son-in-law forged her late husband's signature in order to have the vehicle title registered in his name.
Disorderly Conduct
Deputies were dispatched to an Ivey Drive trailer park May 20 in reference to an altercation between two women. A woman reported entering the trailer park but she was blocked in by another vehicle in the driveway. The driver and the woman exchanged words, then she drove off to her friend's home. A short time later, the same vehicle drove up to the woman at an accelerated speed then stopped abruptly, nearly striking her juvenile daughter.
Firearm Possession by Convicted Felon
While patrolling the area of Ga. Highway 24 East May 14, a deputy observed a vehicle traveling west at a high rate of speed. After initiating a traffic stop, the car pulled to the shoulder near the intersection of Ga. Highway 24 and Stembridge Road. Upon making contact with the driver, the officer noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. The officer asked the driver if there was anything he should know. She admitted to having some marijuana in a cigar wrapper and a pistol in her pocketbook. Dispatch informed the deputy that the driver was also a convicted felon. A firearm was removed from her purse and warrants were secured against the driver, along with traffic citations.
Possession of Marijuana
On May 15 a sheriff's deputy initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling on Ivey Weaver Road for failure to stop completely at the stop sign at the intersection of River Ridge and Ivey Weaver Road. While speaking with the driver, the officer noticed that the passenger appeared nervous and was talking very quickly. When a search was conducted on the vehicle, the deputy found what appeared to be marijuana residue on the passenger side seat and a plastic baggie containing a green leafy substance.

Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, a teenage girl who is the least experienced of the trio. But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal boy, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone—especially herself—from the Dark Forces.
Is love a great enough power against evil?

Watch the book trailer for the first entry in this new trilogy!
Get to know Australian eighteen-year-old Alexandra Adornetto, the author of HALO.
"Her [Adornetto's] dialogue feels fresh and real, pulled from the mouths of her peers without any cultural markers necessary to prove relevance. . . . If it were not for young adult readers like her, the Y.A. boom never would have happened and publishing would be much gloomier." –The New York Times Book Review"These angels are the optimistic, hope-filled cousins of the tormented fallen angels in other paranormal romances. . . . Xavier is gorgeous, honorable and so protective of Bethany that you'll be crushing on him after the first chapter." –Justine magazine"A compelling novel of good and evil that will find an audience among girls who can't get enough of otherworldly characters and situations and heart-wrenching romance." –School Library Journal"The 17-year-old author's angel mythology is solid . . . there never seem to be enough lengthy tomes to satisfy the legions of paranormal-romance fans, and this first title of a planned trilogy fits the bill." –Booklist "This is the first book of a trilogy. The next installment is Hades, due in the Fall of 2011. Look for it. Doubtless it will be another winner." –New York Journal of Books"Halo was absolutely brilliant! I am in complete love with Halo! The characters are so complex and the plot is a rollercoaster you will not want to get off of. The writing is so intricate yet it is read with an ease that one can truly appreciate. Adornetto has raw talent and I can't wait for the next novel in the series to come out!" —Moonlight Book Reviews
"…an exceptional debut novel, it hurtles along in leaps and bounds, and sparkles with originality. Alexandra Adornetto's flare for the English language is fast-paced and refreshing, and her story tell recalls that of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan."—Invernell Times (Invernell, AU) for The Shadow Thief
"Fans of Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events will delight in a new Australian series, The Strangest Adventures, the offers a similar blend of adventure, fantasy, and humor…an accomplished first novel made all the more remarkable considering it was written when Adornetto was thirteen."—Magpies for The Shadow Thief
"The Lampo Circus has great charm not because it has been written by such a young person but because it actually has great charm."— Sunday Age (Melbourne, AU) for The Lampo Circus
Alexandra Adornetto was only fourteen when she published her first book, The Shadow Thief, in Australia. Halo was her U.S. debut and debuted in Fall 2010 on The New York Times bestseller list a week after it was published. It has been published in over twenty countries. The daughter of two English teachers, she admits to being a compulsive book buyer who has run out of shelf space, and now stacks her reading "in wobbly piles on my bedroom floor." Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Ally is now a college student in the U.S.

Truancy Programs
This program aims to make contact with truanting youth and those at risk of truanting at the earliest possible opportunity and provide a wide range of services to the youths and families to prevent or stop such behavior. The target group for this program is middle school age students since this age group is especially susceptible to engaging in truanting behaviors. Preventative measures are critical at this point. This program is a collaborative effort between PACT, Kalakaua Middle School, Dole Middle School and Susannah Wesley Community Center.
Through this program, a case manager from SWCC is assigned to Kalakaua Middle School and a case manager from PACT is assigned to Dole Middle School. These individuals have developed and staffed an on-site truancy center where prevention and intervention services are delivered to at-risk youths and families. The schools have provided space where these services are delivered. Other services available through PACT and SWCC are brought to bear on individual cases as needed.
For more information about the program, please call Jann Cabacungan at 847-1535.

baka konti ang entrees kaya mura?
ayan recently posted..before.sunrise
Aside from stalking waves, endless surfing and getting stoked, another exciting thing you can do in La Union is to eat till-you-drop.Yes, you heard it right! You might be asking, where the heck in this serene province can you find great food? As we found out, there are actually many wonderful places in La Union where you can eat to your heart's delight.
To give you an idea where to start, here are some of the interesting restaurants we discovered when we recently stayed at The Circle Hostel for a relaxing weekend getaway.
Urbiztondo Grill House
Located just beside the National Road, Urbiztondo Grill House is a native-themed restaurant offering home-cooked Pinoy favorites. As it was also just a few stones away from The Circle Hostel, our good hosts brought us here for our first lunch.
Urbiztondo Grill serves different sets of delectable dishes ranging from all-time favorites such as Kare-kare (P240), Igado, Cordon Bleu (P150), Pinakbet (P85), Sinigang (P190) to grilled seafood like Grilled Stuff Squid (P220), Grilled Tuna Tail (P380), Grilled Tuna Jaw (P320), Grilled Blue Marlin (P105) and many more. Other in-house specialties includes Crispy Pata, Tuna tail in tamarind soup, Patatim and more. Servings are big and can be shared between 2-3 persons each.
Everything they served us were excellent but if I have to choose a favorite among those food we tried, it would have to be the Kare-kare and the Igado. Just thinking of those two dishes already makes my mouth water. :)
Poro Point Thunderbird Resorts
Photo credit to Kaiye Pallarco of The Two Broke Girls
Poro Point Thunderbird Resorts, the only 5-star resort in North Luzon, also provides one of the best dining experiences we discovered in La Union.
During weekends, from 6pm – 10pm, this Santorini-inspired haven offers sumptuous buffet meals that will surely appease any appetite. Our dinner that day was a fusion of flavors; from American, Italian and Continental to the more familiar Asian tastes such as Japanese and Filipino. Everything was seasoned well and scrumptiously cooked. I especially love the tempura that were cooked on the spot and the live acoustic band playing romantically in the background.
For the price of P770/head, the buffet here is relatively cheaper compared to what we normally have in Metro Manila that are usually price at P1000+ or more.
The Big Kahuna Restaurant and Clubhouse
Our last but definitely not the least meal in La Union was courtesy of The Big Kahuna Restaurant and Clubhouse, one of the popular beachfront resorts in San Juan.
For our brunch, we feasted on a platter of grilled assortments such as Grilled Milk fish, Grilled Squid, and Pork BBQ as well as Ensaladang Talong and Kinilaw na Baboy together with a very refreshing blue iced tea. Every dish, even though quite simple, was appetizing and savory. Add to that the relaxing view of the open sea, the playful waves and sizzling surfer's bod and our meal was perfect.
For those wanting to catch their favorite NBA games, there is a big flat screen TV where guests can enjoy their fave sports at the same time enjoy their favorite cocktails from the in-house bar. Aside from that, there is also a pool table where visitors can play a game or two of billiards.

Archie McIlveen, 75, died when he was struck by a Mondeo driven at more than twice the speed limit by Pc John Wright as he answered a 999 call.
The retired painter and decorator had spent the day babysitting his son Andrew's two young children and was on his way to catch a train home to Islington at about 7pm, when he was hit as he crossed a 40mph stretch of Esher Road in Hersham, Surrey.
Mr McIlveen's family spoke out for the first time since the November 2008 tragedy after the officer was cleared this week of causing death by dangerous driving.
His daughter Tracy Ladlow, 48, said: "My dad was a real family man. We all miss him terribly. He was killed next to someone's drive — it could have been a little kid."
Wright, who has convictions for speeding and driving while using a mobile, sobbed as he was found not guilty at Reading crown court earlier this week.
His trial heard he had been driving with flashing lights and siren blaring as he responded to reports of an intruder. He was found crying at the roadside after the collision and told another officer: "He just walked out in front of me."
Mother-of-two Mrs Ladlow, of Islington, wants all police cars restricted to 20mph above the speed limit on any road. She said: "People need the emergency services but they should not be putting lives at risk."
Surrey Police's driving policy was reviewed as a result of Mr McIlveen's death. Superintendent Duncan Greenhalgh said: "We have to balance the need of responding quickly with the dangers that this can present."

The terms ¡¥traditional¡¦ and ¡¥modern¡¦ are so often used in conversation, and also in reference to Society, that it is a good exercise to consider what these terms do mean in a comparative light. Berman in All that is solid melts in air puts forward an interesting set of ideas in the comment that people who live in traditional ways, or in modern ones, can almost be said to occupy different states of mind. For instance, a full 500 years have passed since some peoples first met up with the influences of the more modern Western world. (1988, pp. 15-16) However, in many cases, the adjustment has still not been made, and the conflict of what is traditional and what is modern continues to occur with different impacts upon the individual, as well as the society in which he or she lives which is apt to reflect an ongoing conflict. For example, it could be said that what is lived in a remote western Chinese village differs very much from the experience that is given to human beings by life in New York City. It would be easy to state that the former was very ¡¥backward¡¦ or just very different from what is imparted by New York City, but obviously, this contrast cannot be made too neatly. The modern has arrived in Continue...
185) What is implied is that such thinking has gone away in modern societies, replaced by the greater weight placed on the concept of the individual, a generic unit who has choices which do not rely so much on the social position into which a person is born or the social group to which he or she belongs, again by birth and upbringing. The Modern Age in the West began with ideas of great optimism as to what a free and enlightened humankind might do to improve the human condition, and with great attention to science and to politics. Pragmatic liberalism and the critique of modernity. 1) It is explained how the idea of the modern came to emphasize the dichotomy between authority and reason as the influences that ought to shape how people see things, direct their lives, and respond to what happens around them. New York: John Wiley and sons, 1973. In the traditional society of mainland China, western influence came only in a trickle for some time, only to coastal or other directly affected areas during the centuries of attempted European colonization of China, and afterwards, only according to what a Communist regime has permitted to take root in the country. Given that the influences of the modern world are so irregular in the different ways in which they shape the traditional societies to which they are exposed, one wonders if such a definite line can be drawn between these two sets of concepts. Furthermore, the systems under which modern influence did begin to arrive happened to be different from those which produced modernity in the West. There is room for wrong assumption when the modern world is held up as something advanced, or terribly different, from the dynamics of traditional societies and what they ask of the individuals who live in them.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pat the meat mixture out onto a piece of waxed paper, and flatten to 1/2 inch thick. Lay slices of ham onto the flattened meat, and top with slices of cheese. Pick up the edge of the waxed paper to roll the flattened meat up into a log. Remove waxed paper, seal the ends and seam, and place the loaf into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the loaf is no longer pink inside.

I had plain breadcrumbs so I had to season my own with homemade italian seasoning. I used about a tablespoon. I added 1 tablespoon worchestershire to the beaten eggs, upped the garlic powder to a teaspoon and a half, eliminated the salt and I used black forest ham. I had a heck of a time rolling this, even with the butcher paper. I did get it rolled and smushed back together, but it came apart a little in the baking process. I think if I make this again, I'll let the meat mixture sit fifteen minutes before rolling or chill it an hour or something. It's in the oven now (and smells AMAZING) so I'll update how the family liked it once they've tried it. EDITED: Even as ugly as it came out, it was really tasty. The whole family LOVED it. This one's a keeper. I just have to practice rolling it!
I thought this recipe turned out wonderfully, although I added some things! I added a bit of ketchup and mustard, along with brown sugar and a touch of balsamic vinaigrette. I covered it for half of the cook time with foil-it turned out great!
I love meatloaf and infact i would eat it more, but my husband doesnt care for it. Well when i saw cheese in this recipe, i figured hey thats what he likes! Put cheese in anything and he will eat it... He did. Now seriously, i personally thought this was a great recipe. Was not hard at all to make. The taste was excellent. Very differnt and very satisfing. What I might do next time is change the way it is cooked. I did cook it for 2 hours and my center was still way to pink. Maybe if you layer it in a square 9x9 or 8x8. I am not sure, but there has to be a better way. 2 hours is way too much. I really enjoyed eating it though. The next night I heated it up and made sandwiches. We put pickles and mayo on whole wheat bread and it was almost like a burger! This is a keeper, except for the way it is cook, i will come up with a plan for next time..
