A message from SNAPDFWs facilitator, Lisa Kendzior
Acknowledge your courage
It takes courage to acknowledge that weve been abused and it is not easy to even admit it to ourselves. Just browsing this website is a big step.
Know that you are not alone!
If youve been victimized by clergy, please know that you are not alone. You can get better. You can reach out to others whove been hurt just like you have.
Together, we can heal one another.
The Florida legislature has sent a bill for the governor's signature that would lift statutes of limitations for pursuing criminal or civil sexual abuse cases in which victims are younger than 16 at the time of the abuse.

"How do some of us stay in the Church?" Huffington Post commentator hopes "for the return of miracle"
"How do some of us stay in the Church? In grief, in sadness, with a resolve not to be shut out by those who say they are speaking in the name of the Father. We just don't believe them. The Church is not an institution; it is the people, people who are now wounded and scandalized, not only by the sexual crimes of priests, but more important, by the cover-up by those in power. In 1959 the election of Pope John XXIII was a surprise, a kind of miracle. It happened once. It could happen again. We wait, in stubborn hope, for the return of miracle. We want to make sure some of us are at home when it happens." -- Huffington Press commentator Mary C. Gordon

British news outlet The Tablet reports today that a survey conducted in Germany shows a huge increase in the number of Catholics registering their decision to formally leave the Church due to what analysts are calling the worst scandal to hit the Roman hierarchy in history.
"One in four German Catholics more than six million faithful is expected to leave the Church because of the recent scandals, particularly in the Catholic south of the country, a survey has claimed. The poll, in the Frankfurter Rundschau, said that in the historic Bavarian town of Bamberg some 1,400 people a month have been registering their decision to formally leave the Church seven times the normal rate of 200. In the nearby city of Würzburg 1,233 per month are leaving, instead of the average of 407." -- The Tablet, 26 April 2010.

Deaf victim's letter instrumental in federal lawsuit targeting top Vatican command for engineering coverup
Pamela Meyer (pictured) stands with members of SNAP outside the federal courthouse in Milwaukee yesterday where a federal law suit was filed accusing Pope Benedict XVI and senior Vatican officials of failing to defrock Rev. Lawrence Murphy, despite allegations he molested at least 200 deaf children from 1950 to 1975. (AP Photo/Morry Gash)The suit is significant because it is aimed at the highest reaches of the Roman Catholic Church, and involves Cardinal Angelo Sodano, a strong defender of Pope Benedict XVI's handling of the global clergy sexual abuse crisis and a man whose own record on a separate high-profile case has come under scrutiny. A letter from a victim has emerged sent directly to Sodano a year before the Vatican admitted learning of the Murphy case.
The defendants in the lawsuit are Ratzinger, Sodano, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone and the Holy See, identified as the state of the Vatican City. Bertone was Ratzinger's deputy at the time and is now the Vatican's secretary of state.

Embattled German Bishop Walter Mixa submitted an offer of resignation to the Vatican on Wednesday amid allegations that he physically abused children and misappropriated Church funds. German commentators welcome the move, saying it sparks hopes of greater transparency in the Catholic Church's abuse investigation.
In a letter written to Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday, German Bishop Walter Mixa tendered his resignation over allegations of physical abuse and financial misconduct within the Augsburg Diocese.
German press across the entire spectrum of political opinions responded en masse with relief. German publication Der Speigel today published quotes from several German news outlets:
The conservative daily Die Welt writes:
"Right now, Mixa is ill-suited to play the role of pastor and head of a large diocese. He has continued to refuse to give candid explanations, preferring to hide behind vague pleas for forgiveness for everything and nothing."
The center-left Süddeutsche Zeitung writes (in an updated online version):
"Finally. Finally, Walter Mixa, the bishop on the edge, is stepping down. ...(I)t is unclear how violently he ... struck children in his care and how deeply he dug into the coffers of the local orphanage foundation."
The center-right Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung writes:
"It doesn't happen every day that bishops speak about other bishops in public. It is even rarer for them to publicly criticize one another. And it is truly remarkable that two bishops have called on a third bishop (Mixa) to temporarily step down from office."
"The whole affair and his behavior is still weighing on the Church and damage the credibility of any of the bishops' statements."
The center-left Berliner Zeitung writes:
"These days, in real life, the word 'Catholic' stands for physically abusive or lustful priests. People are leaving the Church in droves. ... In real life, Mixa has been very, very slow, on the one hand, to understand that his office does not entitle him to beat children, spend donation money on art, kitsch and wine -- and, on the other, to resign."

Following protests by SNAP, Cardinal who praised cover-up bows out of 1st Latin Rite mass in DC in half a century
The former high-up Vatican official, Dario Castrillon-Hoyos, who officially praised a convicted bishop for protecting a rapist priest -- and claimed he was directed by the former pope to do so -- has canceled plans to celebrate a latin mass in Washington, DC after sharp pressure on the archbishop of Washington from SNAP and other victim advocacy groups to block his participation. SNAP is glad Hoyos bowed out, but criticizes Vatican and Archdiocese of Washington for failing to intervene.The National Catholic Reporter yesterday said:
SNAP, the Saint Louis-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests said April 20 that it had asked Pope Benedict to forbid Castrillon-Hoyos from celebrating the Mass.
When wrong-doers like Castrillon-Hoyos get rewarded by the Catholic hierarchy, church employees everywhere see that wrongdoing is sanctioned, SNAP stated.
Washington archdiocesan spokeswoman Susan Gibbs told Catholic News Service April 20 she didn't expect Archbishop Wuerl to intercede, because "cardinals have universal faculties and the archdiocese is not a sponsor of this event."
Following the announcement that Castrillon-Hoyos had bowed out, SNAP officials said they were relieved the cardinal wouldn't be the celebrant but expressed disappointment that neither the Vatican nor the Archdiocese of Washington intervened in this matter." -- National Catholic Reporter, April 21, 2010

SNAP urges archbishop of Washington to forbid Vatican official who endorsed coverup from leading mass in DC
Dear Archbishop Wuerl:
We urge you to forbid a controversial church official who clearly endorses law-breaking and irresponsible behavior from leading a mass in your archdiocese this weekend.
You know all of the disturbing facts about Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, a former Vatican official who is coming here in just a few days:
Giving him the honor of leading this mass is problematic in two ways. First, it rewards wrong-doing, and that in turn encourages future wrong-doing. Second, it rubs salt into the already-deep and still-fresh wounds of millions of hurting Catholics and thousands of hurting victims.
- He thanked and congratulated a French bishop, in a letter he wrote in 2001, for hiding a sexually abusive priest.
- He allegedly was authorized to send that same letter to bishops across the globe.
- He defended his 2001 letter just days ago at a conference in Spain, arguing that the French bishop couldn't tell police about a predator priest because he learned about the crimes in the confessional. The French bishop himself, however, contradicted this claim, admitting that the priest admitted his crimes in a normal conversation, which is not a privileged communication according to church rules.
- He now claims, without providing any evidence, that he wrote the letter endorsing the French bishop with the approval of the late Pope John Paul II.
- He has expressed no remorse for his letter or his deceptive comments.
- He has made similarly hurtful comments about clergy sex crimes and cover-ups in the recent past.
- It should go without saying that Castrillon-Hoyos' words and deeds are very hurtful to clergy abuse victims, Catholics, and anyone who cares about kids.

Man held over missing grandmother
7:23am Monday 11th March 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Police are questioning a man in connection with the disappearance of a missing grandmother.
Detectives looking for Pamela Jackson, 55, from Chester-le-Street, say they now have "genuine reason to suspect she may have come to harm".
A 50-year-old man from Halifax, West Yorkshire, has been arrested in Chester-le-Street in connection with the search and is in custody at Durham police office.
More than 40 officers and specialist police staff are now working on the inquiry.
Mrs Jackson, who is also known as Cris or Crissie, was reported missing on Thursday evening after her son Joe, 21, became concerned.
A Durham Police spokesman said there has been no definite sighting of her since Saturday March 2 when she was last seen at her home in The Crescent.
He said there has been no activity on her mobile phone for several days and her Facebook page has also not been updated in the same time.
Detective Superintendent Ken Donnelly said: "Our main focus is on finding Pamela and we have a number of actions to follow up in our continuing search for her. However, the inquiries we have carried out so far give us genuine reason to suspect she may have come to harm, and for that reason we have made an arrest and we have a man in custody helping us with our inquiries."
Mrs Jackson does not drive and does not work due to health issues. She also has two other adult sons, Andrew and Christopher, police said.
The grandmother is described as petite and is 5ft, slim and with very long, black hair which is usually straight. She has a black rose tattoo to the upper right arm and large Celtic-style letters to the upper left arm and usually wears what is described as vintage-style clothing with rings and costume jewellery.

No lurch to the right, says Cameron
10:18pm Saturday 2nd March 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
David Cameron has vowed there will be no "lurch to the right" by the Conservatives in the wake of the party's drubbing in the Eastleigh by-election.
The Prime Minister insisted he would "stick to the course we are on", despite seeing the Tories beaten into third place behind the UK Independence Party (Ukip).
Nevertheless, in an apparent move to appeal to voters who abandoned the Conservatives for Ukip, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling indicated the Tories would abolish the Human Rights Act - which enshrines the European Convention on Human Rights in British law - if they won the next general election.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Cameron said he fully understood the concerns of voters impatient for change after what he said were years of decline under the former Labour government.
"I know who these people are. They are people who feel that Britain, this great country we love, was going downhill for years under Labour and is not being fixed fast enough by the Government I lead," he wrote.
"These people - hard-working, decent, patriotic people - are who the Conservative Party has always been for. We are on the side of those who want to work hard and get on in life.
"But the battle for Britain's future will not be won in lurching to the right, nor by some cynical attempt to calculate the middle distance between your political opponents and then planting yourself somewhere between them. That is lowest common denominator politics - and it gets you nowhere."
Mr Grayling, meanwhile, threatened to exacerbate tensions within the coalition by indicating that a majority Conservative government would repeal the Human Rights Act which the Liberal Democrats are committed to defending.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage said the Tories always promised "jam tomorrow" and claimed their supporters would no longer believe promises from the party.
Speaking on the BBC One Andrew Marr programme, Mr Farage said he did not believe a shift to the right by the Conservative Party would halt Ukip's momentum, despite widespread reports today of Tory shifts on issues such as the Human Rights Act and the European Court.

I prefer reshiram because I trained my one from N's castle to lv 100 and it's one of my best pokemon
I can't decide
I prefer reshiram because I trained my one from N's castle to lv 100 and it's one of my best pokemon
Isn't this the best sig ever?
I prefer Zekrom. Dragon/Electric is such a cool Dual typing plus Zekrom looks so cool when it's attacking and activating its ability.
"Heart + Determination + Perserverence = Success"
My Philosophical quote on goals and dreams.
Zekrom all day!
Despite Reshiram having the better typing, I like Zekrom's brutish design over Reshiram's elegant one. I also like Electric more than Fire.
Dream World Females I can offer:
PM or VM me for more trade info
Reshiram because I like Sp. Attackers more than Physical ones.
"Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until they speak."
I just can't look past the phallic imagery on Reshiram.
Some days you just can't force a smile. :<
I actually like Reshiram's design better.

I am a hardcore Zekrom fan.
Maybe not hardcore, but Zekrom is my favorite of the two. To be honest, of all the Legendaries, he's one of my favorites for sure. I don't know, after my first play through, I became really attached to Zekrom, going so far as to actually train him for a little while (I am not a fan of Legendaries, to emphasize this statement).
* Luxray, is my claim.
Zekrom is the cooler one, with the nicer design. I also appreciate the contrast when in the cutscene before the final N battle; N having the angelic looking pokemon, while the demonic one plays the role of the hero seems oddly more fitting.
Reshi is probably better for battle though.
Sprites will never truly die.
(Do not even dare do anything with this without my permission.)
Will-Powered Spriter
Reshiram for many reasons.
1.Awesome typing.
2.I really like special attackers.
3.For me Reshiram looks better than Zekrom.
4.Reshiram has a better move pool than Zekrom(Honestly Zekrom can't learn anything good).
I also like Zekrom a lot but my favorite is still Reshiram.

Zekrom. I like the design and typing of this dragon over its counterpart.
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
I picked Reshiram because I like its design and there is no opponent that can truly resist its STAB combo, not even Heatran due to Turboblaze.
I'll start by saying that I don't really care for either of them, but Zekrom is definitely
the one I hate the least.
I like the both of them, but I tend to use Zekrom more.
Looking for (legit) an event Deoxys. Willing to trade a legendary for it if I can find any more on the GTS. If that doesn't work out, I'm willing to breed any Pokemon you need (as long as it's one that I have in the Pokedex).
Credit goes out to Crasher for the banner
Zekrom has the better typing, but I like Reshiram's design better.
Zekrom. Period.
Reshiram is just too... fuzzy. :S
I just don't really like it.
Reshiram is most certainly my favourite of the two. Fire has always been my element, and Reshiram shows off the sheer brilliance of Fire in a spectacular way during it's entry in Pokemon Black. And, I like Fusion Flare. :P
I liek reshirams.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear !!! We are are a Mr Grumpy Grumpy, a wee bit crabby !!!. well I never expect that from such a man I held in high regarded, who I considered to be a person of high rank.
I am accused of 'chickening out" nothing could be farther from the truth, the fault lies with the logistics and the arrangements for Airline ticket collection, reception had no knowledge of a ticket in my name after hour of arguing with them security was called and I was roughly manhandled from the airport. I am now camped out on the Airports grass lawn and using a internet cafe trying to find out what the hell went wrong. [Laptop, iPad and iPhone had been sold] - Mick - 10:32 am
- Helsie said...
Yp, I am dropping you this sorrowful note to say that I will not be there in Phuket to greet you either. Ican't do it I'm afraid. My 90 year old parents need me here to look after them !
I thought I could do it ( sob), I thought I could leave all my responsibilities behind and just have some ME time (sob)but when the time came ( right at the gates of the departure lounge )I just couldn't do it (sob).
I'll be thinking of you in Blogland Paradise. I think my travel insurance covers defaulting because of ill parents so at least the debt collectors will not be after me.
Cheers - 11:11 am

PS We took a photo of ourselves just before we left for the airport. I'll post it on my blog to to show you how excited we were and how disappointed we are now.

OMG (which apparently means Oh My God), I should have known it wasn't such a good idea to spray paint pro-Catalan graffiti all over the airport loos, and keep the can in my hand luggage. But don't worry, if I can just persuade these nice Guardia Civils to give me back my passport, and remove their truncheonss from my ..... I'll still try my best to get there somehow - let's hope Ryanair are still open, they say that for a good tip they'll fly you anywhere ....

KELLY BARTELS Your geographical radar seems to be malfunctioning! How do airport security feel about your cotton balls? I guess they feel about with their bare hands!
MICK I am so sorry that I jumped to a wrong conclusion about your commitment. Unfortunately, if you do follow me to Blogland you will now have to pay for your own ticket. However, I have hacked into your bank account and I can see you'll easily be able to afford it.
HELEN You might have let us know before now! The sponsors were very generous and now your tickets are wasted. I was so looking forward to ogling your leopardskin print bikini and running with you into the surf.
BRIAN I had no idea that you are a trained Catalonian freedom fighter/terrorist. I hope the truncheon isn't causing you too much discomfort. - 12:27 pm

Hi the Yorkshire Pudding.
No can do !!! the money you found in my bank account doesn't belong to me it belongs to the Inland Revenue therefore buying my own ticket is a no go. Oh well !!! blogland venture sounded good and I was looking forward to the Driftwood cottage. Daughter No 1 came and picked me up and I'm now staying with her house and dog sitting, perhaps its for the best.
I wish all the residents of blogland all the best for the future - Mick. - 9:09 pm

The Whitney Selects Danny Meyer to Serve as Exclusive Caterer and Create New Cafe

The Whitney Museum of American Art
has selected Danny Meyers Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) as the exclusive caterer for all Museum events, and to create and operate a new cafe at the Museum, slated to open in the fall of 2010.
USHGs catering and events business, Hudson Yards, will become the exclusive caterer for all Whitney events and will also operate an interim pop-up cafe to serve Whitney visitors during the period that the dining space on the lower level of the Museum is being renovated. Hudson Yards has earned acclaim as an innovative culinary leader for its role in the menu creation and day-to-day operations of all of USHGs businesses at The New York Mets Citi Field, and also for Public Fare, its open-air cafe at the Public Theater at the Delacorte in Central Park.
The new cafe will succeed Sarabeths at the Whitney. Sarabeths, with several New York City locations, bakeries, and a nationally distributed line of award-winning preserves, will close its Whitney outpost on January 17, 2010. We are deeply grateful to Sarabeths for feeding so many hungry art lovers and providing many years of outstanding service to the Whitney and its patrons, said Adam D. Weinberg, the Whitneys Alice Pratt Brown Director.
We were honored to have been selected in 1991 by the Whitney to be the first private restaurant operating in a New York City museum, said Sarabeths co-founder, Sarabeth Levine. Over the years, Sarabeths at the Whitney hosted millions of visitors and its outstanding food and service made it a destination in itself. As we are not equipped to provide large-scale catering, we fully understand and support the Whitneys decision. We wish them the best of luck in this new endeavor.
We are thrilled to be partnering with Danny Meyer, one of the most respected restaurateurs in the world, Mr. Weinberg remarked. His Union Square Hospitality Group excels at both individual dining and event cateringboth of critical importance to the Museum. The pairing of Union Square Hospitality Group and the Whitney will be a perfect fit for local residents and tourists alike. We look forward to a long-term partnership with Danny and his talented team.
As art lovers we are incredibly excited to partner with the Whitney to help establish the museum as a premier venue for catered events. And we consider it an enormous privilege to conceive the next generation cafe to serve the Whitneys museum goers as well as their Upper East Side neighbors, said Danny Meyer, CEO, Union Square Hospitality Group. Were eager to contribute one more reason for people to visit this institution of American art.
Union Square Hospitality Group
Danny Meyers Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) includes some of New York City's most beloved establishments: Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison Park, Tabla, Blue Smoke/Jazz Standard, Shake Shack, The Modern, Cafe 2 and Terrace 5, located at The Museum of Modern Art, El Verano Taqueria and Box Frites (both at Citi Field), Maialino, as well as Hudson Yards Catering. Each Meyer restaurant is lovingly hand crafted and distinctive, and each strives to distinguish itself with warm hospitality and consistent excellence. Meyer and his restaurants and chefs have earned an unprecedented twenty James Beard Awards, including: Outstanding Restaurant of the Year; Outstanding Service; Outstanding Wine Service; Humanitarian of the Year; Who's Who of Food & Beverage; Best Restaurant Design; and Best Restaurant Graphic Design. All five of USHGs fine dining restaurants have earned three stars from The New York Times and, in 2009, Eleven Madison Park was upgraded to four stars. For the past decade, Union Square Cafe and Gramercy Tavern have vied for #1 and #2 among Zagats Most Popular Restaurants in New York.

Omega-3 Eggs
The percent long-chain omega-6 fats (including AA) in red blood cell membranes associates quite well with heart attack risk. You can see the relationship in this graph compiled by Dr. Bill Lands. However, egg consumption has never been convincingly linked to heart attack risk or any other disorder I'm aware of, despite dire warnings about eggs' cholesterol content. Nevertheless, conventionally raised eggs are unnaturally rich in AA, and unnaturally low in omega-3, due to the hens' diet of grains and soybeans.
The ideal egg is one that comes from a hen raised outdoors (often on pasture), in a place where she can eat a variety of green plants and insects. Hens raised this way typically still eat grain-based feed, but supplemented with a significant amount of foraged food. This dramatically increases the nutritional value of the eggs, as I've noted before. Modern hens lay nearly one egg a day, which is a rate of production that can not be sustained without a large amount of calorie-dense food. They can't eat enough to lay at this rate by foraging.
Not everyone has access to pastured eggs. "Omega-3 eggs" come from hens fed an omega-3 enriched diet*. Not only do they have a much higher omega-3 content than conventional eggs, they also contain less AA. One study found that omega-3 eggs contain 39% less AA than conventional and organic eggs. Omega-3 eggs were also rich in short- and long-chain omega-3 fats. Omega-3 eggs are certainly not nutritionally equivalent to pastured eggs, but they're a step in the right direction.
I don't really know if the AA content of eggs is a concern. Eicosanoid biology is complex and it doesn't like to fit into simple models. I'll look forward to seeing more research on the matter. In the meantime, I'll be eating pastured eggs, and when they're not available I'll eat omega-3 eggs.
*Typically from flax seeds, but some operations also use seaweed. The hens in the paper I cited were fed flax. The hens managed to convert a substantial portion of the alpha-linolenic acid into the important animal fat DHA, and presumably EPA although it was not measured.

Stephan, where should I try to find pasture-fed eggs? Maybe Whole Foods or Akins+

Something I've always wondered. Wouldn't cooking the eggs destroy the Omega 3?
Jim, you need to contact a farmer directly in most cases to get pastured eggs. Best to visit the farm and actually see the chickens running around. - November 7, 2009 at 3:27 AM

I purchase Christopher Eggs brand eggs at my local Kroger owned store. Each egg has 660mg of Omega 3 Fatty Acid.
Looking at http://www.christophereggs.com
website, they say they have developed a better nutritional program for their layers which was developed in Belgium.
"The formula for Christopher Eggs was designed by Belovo, a Belgian egg processing company with expertise in developing health oriented food ingredients, oils and egg based powders.
"In developing Christopher Eggs, Belovo researched nutrition and the human and animal diet, both historic and contemporary. The natural diet of the ancestors of our modern chicken was far more varied, including an extended range of seeds, pulses and green vegetation. This diet yielded eggs with a better nutrient content and a better balance of essential fatty acids.
Currently, many other eggs are from chickens fed primarily wheat and soya. This results in eggs that are much lower in Omega-3 than Omega-6 fatty acids, and does nothing to adjust the shortage of Omega-3 that is widespread in Western diets."
It would be great to have an independent researcher test
Enova's claim regarding their omega 3 eggs.
I was originally made aware of these eggs on the website for Slankers grass fed beef.

There are NO pastured eggs sold at any of the grocery stores I'm aware of, including "health food" stores like Whole Foods. Those eggs are "cage free", which does not mean the chickens actually have access to pasture. It simply means their cages have no doors.
Michael Pollan wrote about this in The Omnivore's Dilemma. He visited a so-called "free range" egg producer in Northern California. The chickens their were in small cages with no doors, and had access to a small enclosed patio (no grass, greenery, insects, or anything like that). The chickens are kept inside the first couple months of their lives to protect them from catching disease, and as a result even when they have the opportunity to go outside later they don't.
The only place to buy truly pasture-raised eggs is from a local farmer's market or a local farm.
Or, of course, you can get chickens and raise them yourself. This is what we're doing. We live in a very urban area, but we've got nine chickens. We feed them an organic grain mixture, but they have access to our yard each day and eat a lot of greens, insects, grubs, etc. I also sprinkle some flax seed on the ground each day to increase the n-3 content of their eggs. - November 7, 2009 at 6:27 AM
- Roman said...
Stephan, I've just looked at "Omega-3" eggs from Whole Foods, and it says on the box that each egg provides 260 mg of omega3. However, just below it is specified that 112 mg come from ALA and only 56 mg from DHA. So I'm not sure just how efficient those chickens are in converting flax ALA to DHA!

You can get truly pastured eggs at some groceries in the Indianapolis area: see http://sevenspringsindiana.com/aboutus.aspx.
I allow my little flock to free range, but also give them a commercial laying mash. They largely ignore the mash when they're free ranging. The birds I've butchered have crops stuffed mostly with green leafy plants. - November 7, 2009 at 7:29 AM

I do not know about US, but here the omgea-3 eggs are always from caged hens. Now, IF stress and such has any meaning on hens (as it has on people, and as it seems to have on many animals), I bet that cage-free living is on the winning side, even with less-than-optimal food.
So, I prefer any non-caged variety eggs to eggs from caged hens... while dreaming on a hen house at our back yard, like my auntie did for decades.
With regards,

Hi Jim,
Some health food stores will carry pastured eggs. Whole foods might, but I doubt it. Your best bet is a local farmer's market or local farmer. "Free range" eggs, while better than conventional eggs (mostly for humane reasons), are not the same as pastured eggs.
Hi Ellen,
Cooking eggs in typical ways will not destroy the omega-3.
Hi Roman,
That's actually quite a high conversion rate. It's less DHA than you'd find in fish oil, but for a land animal, that's a lot of DHA.
Hi John,
I believe so. - November 7, 2009 at 11:03 AM

Hey Stephan!
I always like it when you post that n-6 HUFA graph... turns me completely OFF TO VEGGIE OILS... that is why I stopped canola... and try to be like the Greenland Inuits. I think Cordain's research shows they consume about 4-5 g n-6 daily but apparently the RBC lipid bilayer content of n-6 and AA are much lower. Their n-3 PUFA intake on the other hand is like ASTRONOMICAL 13-14 grams EPA DHA daily. That probably influences the lower n-6 membrane contents reported. Do you think?
BTW Omega-3 free-range eggs also contain 8-10 X more lutein and other anti-inflammatory carotenoids, thus the richer, distinctly deeper yolky colors and tastes! Every hormone, cholesterol, iodine and vitamins that we need to maintain perfect vision, hearing and other senses is found in egg yolks, God's perfect food.
Thanks for yet another perfect and fine post!!! *wink* You are PERFECT. - November 7, 2009 at 1:12 PM

As per Ellens comment and your reply. I have always wondered why it's not OK to heat flax seed oil, but it is OK to heat Omega 3 in meat,fish and eggs. What makes them different than flax? - November 7, 2009 at 6:12 PM
- David said...
Inconveniently, chickens raised naturally (pastured) are subject to an aspect of nature we don't usually encounter in the grocery store: seasonality. Egg production slows to a crawl and often stops entirely in the winter months unless coops are artificially lighted and the hen's diets supplemented to a caloric level well beyond what's typically available around the farm in winter. The local farmer here in Colorado who holds my cowshare for raw milk also provides me with pastured eggs every week (a side of grass feed beef too - I'm all in!), but the eggs have pretty much stopped for the season. Other producers who sell at the weekly farmer's market are producing less and are selling out in the first few minutes where just a month ago they all had eggs left over at the end of the day.
As fall progresses and winter approaches, if you're seeing pastured eggs in the northern climes there is a good chance the hens are eating grain. - November 7, 2009 at 6:39 PM

I've taken to hardboiling the eggs, eating the yolks and throwing away the egg white. I do this out of personal preference, but I don't think I am missing much in the way of nutrition.
Egg whites are mostly protein with minimal vitamins and minerals. Here:
Egg yolks are 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs. They are loaded in vitamins and minerals. Here:

Men who ate one or more eggs daily were nearly 25% more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than men who ate one or fewer eggs weekly, according to newly released results from a study of more than 21,000 American physicians.1 The results were gleaned from a 20-year study of male doctors' health and dietary habits. Eggs are a rich source of cholesterol; a large egg contains about 212 mg of cholesterol.
The study also concluded that diabetic subjects who consumed the greatest number of eggs per week were twice as likely to die of cardiovascular disease as diabetic subjects who consumed the fewest eggs.1 A related report concluded that daily egg consumption significantly increases a person's risk of becoming diabetic.2
Interestingly, the last definitive study to address the subject of eggs and heart disease, published nearly a decade ago, failed to find a significant link between egg consumption and cardiovascular disease. But even that study identified an increased risk of coronary heart disease among egg-eating diabetics.3

I take only 3-4 Omega3 eggs weekly due to its AA content, but for me its taste is the same, maybe they are pasturated eggs, I dont know.
I added a touch of organic butter to my dinners weeks ago, but I am really concerned about some clear conections between these saturated fats and neurological diseases. There are so strong epidemiologic studies alzheimer-saturated fats. Now I think virgin coconut oil is fine, but I go on nothing convinced about a generous use of long-chain saturated fats. - November 8, 2009 at 12:29 AM

the funny thing with eggs is that people do not know how many they eat. It's quite easy to count 'em when they are hardboiled or fried sunny side up, but it's a whole other story to count them when used in cakes, desserts, confection or in a zillion different food products. Without reading in detail the study you provide to look for the hidden varaiables, I would not worry about eggs. - November 8, 2009 at 1:23 AM

The problem I find with the Omega-3 eggs that are in my supermarket (eggland's best) is that they also have the label 'Fed a vegetarian diet' and therefore have paler yolks than the non-omega 3 eggs!
Fortunately it's not hard for me to get to the health food store every week or two to pick up real pastured eggs which have a yolk the shade of a school bus. - November 8, 2009 at 6:19 AM
- Jenny Light said...
Another option for supplementing the feed of pastured chickens is by using fish meal rather than, or in addition to flax. Our farmer has always used fish meal.

There is inevitably some oxidation of n-3 fats when cooking meat, seafood and eggs. That's one reason the Weston A. Price foundation (and others) suggest that consuming at least a portion of the egg yolks you eat raw is the best choice. Some folks eat raw meat for the same reason, but obviously the vast majority of people aren't going to do this.
However, there are also saturated fats and antioxidants like CoQ10 in red meat which at least in part protect against oxidative damage. Overall I don't think eating cooked red meat is a problem for this reason. Still, it's probably best to sear it and eat it rare.
Here's an excerpt of an article I wrote on my blog a while back about eggs, cholesterol and heart disease.
A recent review of the scientific literature published in Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care clearly indicates that egg consumption has no discernible impact on blood cholesterol levels in 70% of the population. In the other 30% of the population (termed "hyperresponders"), eggs do increase both circulating LDL and HDL cholesterol.
You've probably been conditioned to believe that anything that raises LDL cholesterol (so-called "bad" cholesterol) should be avoided like the plague. But even the medical mainstream has come to recognize that all LDL cholesterol is not the same. It's true that small, dense LDL particles have been linked to heart disease. This is primarily due to the fact that they are much more susceptible to oxidative damage than normal LDL cholesterol particles.
However, egg consumption increases the proportion of large, buoyant LDL particles that have been shown to be protective against heart disease. Egg consumption also shifts individuals from the LDL pattern B to pattern A. Pattern B indicates a preponderance of small, dense LDL particles (risk factors for heart disease), while pattern A indicates a preponderance of large, buoyant LDL particles (which protect us from heart disease). This is a good thing. - November 8, 2009 at 7:04 AM

As fall progresses and winter approaches, if you're seeing pastured eggs in the northern climes there is a good chance the hens are eating grain.
As I mentioned in a previous comment, even the most progressive farmers I know of (including Joel Salatin, who many look to as a "guru" in this area) feed grain to their pastured chickens year-round. They don't get enough calories with foraging alone to lay 5-7 eggs per week, which is what's expected of them these days.
Nevertheless, even with grain supplementation the fatty acid profile of these eggs is very favorable when compared to battery-raised eggs. The n-6/n-3 ratio is close to 1:1 in eggs from pastured chickens, whereas it can be up to 20:1 in supermarket eggs - November 8, 2009 at 7:16 AM

"Men who ate one or more eggs daily were nearly 25% more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than men who ate one or fewer eggs weekly, according to newly released results from a study of more than 21,000 American physicians."
This summary you copy & pasted is really terrible.
The results of the referenced study found no association between egg consumption and CVD at any level.
Additionally, the only number approaching 25% is that physicians eating >7 eggs per week were 23% more likely to die from any cause, not just CVD. - November 8, 2009 at 7:55 AM
- Matt Stone said...
My feelings on AA and eicosanoid synthesis are far less simplistic than that offered by guys like Barry Sears. I don't think a fatty acid balance could ever determine what your body does with those fatty acids. Human biology is never that simple.
There still has to be cellular damage going on somewhere to invoke pro-inflammatory eicosanoid synthesis. Like glycation or excessive free radicals from vegetable oils and so on.
Only pastured eggs for me though! 3 this morning. - November 8, 2009 at 7:59 AM
- Adolfo David said...
That eggs are high in AA is a reality, and not good. This is enough for me.
High AA diet is linked with many diseases in so many controlled studies.
Eicosanoid field is so complex, but anyone can note that what Barry Sears says is much common sense (low glycemic carbs, no vegetable oils, good fats, enough protein..) and the fatty acids metabolism seems clear in medicine.

Interesting stuff as always, Stephen.
For myself, O3 eggs only make sense. 4 eggs daily for the past 2 years, everyday. High HDL, low LDL, wicked low TG. Would I eat this many conventional eggs? Probably. Supplementing with high-dose fish oil more than likely offsets the AA/EPA ratio. - November 8, 2009 at 11:11 AM

Hi LpAforLife,
There are a few reasons. One is that eggs are not as rich in PUFA as flax. The more concentrated the PUFA are, the more susceptible they will be to damage and the more concentrated the oxidation products will be. The second reason is simply that the PUFA in eggs or meat don't get as hot as they would if you were using flax oil to saute in a pan. They generally don't exceed the boiling point of water, whereas oil directly on a metal pan is much hotter. The third reason is that PUFA within a solid medium are not exposed to much oxygen, which is the main thing that breaks them down. There isn't much oxygen penetrating into an egg or a steak (or an intact flax seed baked into a loaf of bread). Some small fraction of it will inevitably be oxidized, but I don't see that as a concern.
Hi Adolfo,
Thanks for posting the study. It appears to be at odds with most of the other studies that examined the same question, as mentioned in the introduction of the paper itself:
"other large prospective cohorts... did not observe any association between egg consumption and CAD or mortality (18 –21)."
Here's why I'm skeptical that the association in this study reflects eggs actually increasing mortality: the people eating the most eggs were totally different from the people eating the least eggs. Four times more of the people in the "one egg per day" group had a history of diabetes than in the group that ate less than one egg per day. More than twice as many were smokers.
They "controlled" for these factors, mathematically, but my concern is that these two populations are very different in many ways. There are likely to be major differences that were not measured and thus cannot be controlled for. - November 8, 2009 at 2:35 PM
- Adolfo David said...
Not controlled factors is a great problem always.
There are many negative studies about long-chain saturated fats, here my concern. Reading some evidence from GOOD CALORIES BAD CALORIED by G. Taubes, probably these saturated fats are dangerous essentially in presence of glycemic carbs.
This is my current conclusion about saturated fats, nutrient most difficult to valorate for me! - November 8, 2009 at 3:39 PM
- LPaForLife said...
You gave a very good anaysis about heating PUFA fats. I forgot that although the oven or bbq gets quite hot, the internal meat or fish temperature doesn't usually exceed 200 deg. However, with overcooked eggs or well done meat, you could get to higher temperatures. Also when you eat scrambled eggs and ground meat, perhaps you can get more oxygination because of the larger surface area. I am not sure what is worse oxidized cholesterol or oxidized PUFA. My prefered method of egg preparation is lightly poached.
Your sound analysis gives me better ideas on healthy food preparation. Thanks - November 8, 2009 at 6:02 PM

I sent your study in this article Stephan to Dr Barry Sears team, who I talk through mail about omega3 eggs two months ago. His answer:
He notes that individuals with chronic diseases (cancer, heart disease, etc.) need to limit or avoid all AA. Cage eggs with lower AA offer more flexibility in consuming whole eggs.
"He [Dr Sears] notes that individuals with chronic diseases (cancer, heart disease, etc.) need to limit or avoid all AA. Cage eggs with lower AA offer more flexibility in consuming whole eggs. Dr. Sears notes the quote, "Consumption of omega-3 eggs has the potential to confer health benefits through the increase in intake of omega-3 fatty acids" is misleading as the majority of health benefits are derived from the long chain omega 3's found in fish oil and not the short chain omega 3's in eggs." - November 9, 2009 at 9:01 AM
- Stephan said...
Hi Adolfo,
Omega-3 eggs contain both short-chain and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, due to the fact that chickens are efficient converters. It may well be true that people with certain chronic diseases are better off limiting AA, but I haven't seen anything conclusive to support that position yet. - November 9, 2009 at 9:27 AM

not sure about feeding fish meal and seaweed to chickens. i've heard it affects the taste of the egg in a very negative way, which makes sense given an egg's ability to absorb flavors. Seems pastured eggs make the most sense since they are naturally the most correct- chickens don't eat fish.
Good question about cooking eggs and the omega 3s, but there are methods like soft boiling or even hard boiling (by bringing the water to a boil turning the heat off and leaving the egg in the hot water for under 30 minutes, then into ice cold water immmediately) that should be a far gentler introduction of moderate slow heat than say frying. Plus super tasty.
Lastly, as long as they don't come into contact with the outside of the shell, raw eggs are pretty safe and raw egg whites keep for quite a long time; maybe you don't have to cook them at all. Put them into some grass fed steak tartare! - November 9, 2009 at 10:48 AM

Overall eggs should be one of the safest sources of omega-6 poly-unsaturates. They are encased in two layers of protection from oxidation (shell and egg white), carefully handled, and always refrigerated. Eggs and omega-6s are handled in nearly precisely the opposite manner as industrial vegetable oils.

Great blog.
I just eat the yolks raw for the nutrition. Eating eggs scrambled makes me feel sick to my stomach. Same thing with processed milk. Processed milk makes me feel slightly ill if I drink a significant amount. Raw milk, same thing. Sometimes I find myself actually craving a raw milk, never had that with store milk. Eggs and milk are the only foods my body strongly prefers in the raw state. - November 9, 2009 at 6:01 PM
- Tara said...
Bringing things down to a simpler point here: I've worked on different farms for a while now (on the road of buying our own). If I had to buy eggs at a store I would steer clear of the Omega 3 eggs. If the flax is ground in the feed (which it should be if the chicken is to be able to benefit from it), it is always rancid before it's even ingested by the bird.
Sites like www.eatwild.org have links to farmers all over the place that are raising their animals on pasture. We've moved every two years for the last 16 years of our lives and every where we have gone, it was my first priority to find farmers that were producing the kind of food I wanted to buy. My husband eats 6 eggs every morning. My kids eat two each. We couldn't gag down a commercial egg if we tried. They make us nauseous. That says enough to me.
The best option, of course, is to let chickens eat meat. I once worked on a pastured bison farm. On slaughtering day, we would grind up all the trim for the birds. Anyone who thinks a chicken is a vegetarian, would be amazed at the sight of hundreds of chickens, running through the grass like savages to eat up the fat/tissue/muscle mix. Those were the best tasting eggs, and chickens, I have ever had in my life.
One other thing to consider is the soy in chicken feed. It is everywhere! Our farmer had to ship in some pea protein for the winter to help with the bird's rations as they won't be foraging too much in the snow. It's very difficult to find chicken feed without soy - there are no commercially raised birds available without. - November 9, 2009 at 7:09 PM
- Stephan said...
Hi Tara,
Good point, I'm sure the flax isn't freshly ground in most cases. I wonder what effects that has on the chickens and eggs.
I checked out your blog- looks great! - November 9, 2009 at 7:47 PM
- switters said...
I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find a grain feed for our backyard chicks that doesn't include soy. We use an organic layer mash but it has soy. Argggh!
If anyone knows where to find an organic grain feed that doesn't have soy, I'm all ears.
We've been feeding whole flax seeds. Are you saying they should be ground up in order for the chickens to be able to utilize them? - November 9, 2009 at 7:50 PM
- Stephan said...
Hi switters,
Actually, I bet chickens can grind up whole flax seeds themselves in their gizzards. Just guessing. - November 9, 2009 at 7:58 PM
- switters said...
That's what I thought too, Stephan. They eat all kinds of seeds in pasture and certainly don't have anyone grinding it up for them.
I just wish I could find some grain feed without soy. - November 9, 2009 at 8:02 PM

Hi all, sorry for this question, but...
One whole egg (50 gr.) has about 0.058 gr. of Arachidonic Acid, which is less than 1% of its total lipid contents (6.11 gr.).
(http://www.nal.usda.gov, look for egg, whole, cooked, scrambled)
Do you really think that quantity of AA to be of some concern if you consume 2-3 eggs a day? - November 10, 2009 at 2:32 AM
- Tara said...
Switters, do you live in Canada or the U.S.? I know of a company here in Canada, around Ottawa and there's some in Alberta that are making organic feed without soy. Another option is mixing your own. There's a lot of information available on the internet on how to do that. Kitchen scraps are great too!
This is purely anecdotal, but I grew up on a farm and all our chickens ever got to eat was scratch, whatever grain was handy, meat and veggie scraps. Of course, they had bountiful bugs, grubs, and grass. - November 10, 2009 at 3:38 AM
- switters said...
Thanks Sandra!
We do feed kitchen scraps and flax seed, and our chickens get about 4-5 hours of "free range" time in the backyard each day so they're eating grubs, bugs, etc.
We've definitely considered mixing our own grain feed using instructions in a backyard chickens book we have. I think we'll get to that eventually, but lately we haven't had the time for it.
We're in Oakland, CA and my preference is always to buy locally if I can. So far I haven't been able to find a local supplier for soy-free grain mixes, so I may have to order online from the producer that Sandra linked to. - November 10, 2009 at 5:25 AM

I get my Omega-3 acids from quail eggs, which are more nutritious than chicken eggs and do not cause allergies. They are safe to eat raw - I just mix 5-6 eggs with some tomato juice in my blender, and drink it for breakfast.

My wife generally separates the yoke from the white when she hard boils her eggs because she's concerned about too much cholesterol. Does doing that diminish the benefit of having Omega-3 eggs? Does the Omega-3 that is fed to the hens store differently in the yoke than in the white of the egg?

Unfortunately your wife has it backwards. If anything should be separated out and not eaten, it is the white. The yolk contains the bulk of the nutrients, including omega-3 fats, folate, vitamin A and vitamin D (the white has none of this).
And she needn't be worried about the effects of egg consumption on cholesterol. A recent review of the scientific literature published in Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care clearly indicates that egg consumption has no discernible impact on blood cholesterol levels in 70% of the population. In the other 30% of the population (termed "hyperresponders"), eggs do increase both circulating LDL and HDL cholesterol.
Egg consumption increases the proportion of large, buoyant LDL particles that have been shown to be protective against heart disease. Egg consumption also shifts individuals from the LDL pattern B to pattern A. Pattern B indicates a preponderance of small, dense LDL particles (risk factors for heart disease), while pattern A indicates a preponderance of large, buoyant LDL particles (which protect us from heart disease). This is a good thing.
Eggs one of the most nutrient-dense foods available. One egg provides 13 essential nutrients, all in the yolk (contrary to popular belief, the yolk is far higher in nutrients than the white).
Eggs are an excellent source of B vitamins, which are needed for vital functions in the body, and also provide good quantities of vitamin A, essential for normal growth and development.
The vitamin E in eggs protects against heart disease and some cancers; eggs also contain vitamin D, which promotes mineral absorption and good bone health.
Eggs are rich in iodine, for making thyroid hormones, and phosphorus, essential for healthy bones and teeth.

Hello All,
I have enjoyed reading the discussion going on here about the nutrition of eggs. I am currently a student of holistic nutrition and an avid health foodie and would like to leave a few of my thoughts. First, I do not believe a lot of the data arising from studies. Many are flawed and the methodology and purpose (interest group funded?) must be scrutinized for any accurate conclusion. Secondly, I believe the negative effect of AA is mitigated by the positive / balancing effect of the omegas. However, when looking at omega 3 for health benefits, it should not be exposed to oxygen or heated. I think heating the yolk (the fatty content of the egg) until it is solid would damage the omega 3 and render it lifeless or at worst, damaging. I believe if a person chooses omega 3 eggs over pastured the health benefit is best if the yolk is kept raw or only slightly heated and not broken. I use them raw in smoothies, or lightly poached or fried (in gasp! natural saturated oils!). Consuming the yolk uncooked also keeps the lecithin and b vitamins intact, and eggs are a very important source of these nutrients. And, while the white is mostly protein, protein is such an important mood and sugar stabilizer I think it is essential in breakfast, especially for kids! And eggs are such a wonderful breakfast food. Many breakfasts do not contain much protein at all, so eggs are an essential in my home. Also, feeding the chickens chia seed would seem to me to be more stable than flax for omega 3's. As for my family, we consume pastured, whole eggs over any caged eggs, regardless of omega 3 content. The stress on the chicken is an essential component we don't yet know how to measure in terms of nutrition value. Similarly, we consume our eggs whole - the way nature makes them. So many other foods have been shown to be best in thier whole state, rather than being mined for the known nutritional benefit. Think mixed vs single tocopherols. Think cod liver oil once mined for it's EPA and DHA, but now also valued for its vitamin D. I know it's been said before, but I trust nature over science - even that of the omegas - anyday. - January 1, 2010 at 9:10 AM

Does anyone know if the phytoestrogens in flax are present in the eggs? I wish they feed the chickens chia or hemp seeds instead, which are phytoestrogen free and contain just as much or more omega 3.

Barry Sears is totally in the fear and avoid saturated fats as much as possible camp which I believe is totally erroneous. He really is in the fear fat period camp, recommending only miniscule amounts, like a teaspoon of olive oil per meal. The studies of Weston Price showed that large amounts of saturated.fats could be eaten with little to no disease in various populations. The thing that Dr. Price found that most highly correlated with increased disease rates of heart disease diabetes etc. was change over from a traditional diet with no processed depleted unnatural foods, ( like seed oils that are highly processed and were never eaten because the machinery capable of extracting them didn't exist. Also stripped sugars and grains, etc) and the resulting vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Whole foods has eggs that claim to be pasture raised; however, they are not. You can always tell a pastured egg from a conventional one by the yolk. Simply break open a regular egg next to an egg from a manufacturer with wild claims scribed on the carton and you will see just how real those claims are. Eggs from pastured chickens have dark, orange-colored yolks while the yolks from conventionally raised hens will be a very pale yellow color. In Utah, you can buy pasture raised eggs from "Real Foods", where you can also buy raw milk from grass-raised A2 cows that are never fed grain. Whole foods also has eggs that claim to be pasture raised, but they are just eggs with dishonest marketing.

Eggs can be fortified with two different omega-3 fatty acids: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ALA (alpha linolenic acid). DHA is found in oily fish like salmon, trout and sardines. It's crucial for the proper development and maintenance of brain cells. Higher intakes of DHA and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), the other omega-3 fatty acid in oily fish, are also thought to guard against heart disease.

Mackerel has the highest quantity of heart-healthy omega-3's of any fish with 2,300 mg per100 gram serving. Mackerel may be a good source of omega-3's, but king mackerel is quite high in mercury and should be avoided. When eating mackerel buy the small canned varieties which have a much lower mercury content.

Many Modernities Ahead
China's rise as a global power will change world politics and culture, not just the economy, argues Martin Jacques in a new book. To look ahead, start by understanding the difference between a nation-state and a civilization-state.
China's government "enjoys more respect even though not a single vote is cast."
The 21st century probably belongs to China and not to America. Martin Jacques laid out the reasons for this and what it might mean at a well-attended Nov. 20 book talk that also served as an introduction to the field of Chinese studies.
A senior visiting fellow at the London School of Economics' IDEAS center and the author of a new book, When China Rules the World: the End of the Western World and the Birth of a New World Order, Jacques looked at long-term forecasts about China's growing share of the world economy relative to the United States and the West.
"The global financial crisis represents the beginning of the end of the American economic order," he said.
However, Jacques is not alarmed by the shift and does not expect Western living standards to decline. He argued that the rise of the Chinese economy is of less concern than the failure of the West to understand China and its culture and, therefore, the possibility that the United States and others could react irresponsibly to the changing order.
Since China is considered a developing country, many Westerners assume that development will make it more like the West in how it governs and does business, Jacques said. But he sees globalization differently: "We're moving into a world of multiple modernities, and we're moving into an era of contested modernity."
Jacques outlined the many ways Westerners view China and its culture through their own lens rather than understanding how China is different.
It is crucial to understand that China views itself not as a nation-state, he said, but as a civilization-state that dates from the 221 B.C. victory of the Qin over Eastern China. This is the longest continually existing polity in the world. The civilization is based on several key principles including the primacy of the family, Confucian values, ancestral worship, and an ideographic language system. Keenly familiar with their history, ordinary people feel comfortable quoting ancient philosophers.
Within a civilization-state, unity is extremely important, but unity does not mean uniformity. The country is actually remarkably pluralistic in its embrace of different local systems, Jacques said.
An example is the manner in which China annexed Hong Kong, taking very seriously the slogan "One country, two systems." At the time, naysayers in the West argued that the "two systems" wouldn't last. But they were "categorically wrong," Jacques said, out of their failure to see the issue from the Chinese civilization-state's point of view. Hong Kong continued to be a capitalist powerhouse while remaining part of China.
Westerners also have trouble understanding the role of the state in China, and miss the fact that the central government is fundamentally very competent.
Compared Western democracies, he said, China's government "enjoys more respect even though not a single vote is cast. The Chinese state is seen as the guardian and custodian of civilization. In contrast, Italy is always voting but the state lacks legitimacy."
In spite of China's claim to more than 50 ethnic minorities, Jacques observed, 90 percent of Chinese people now consider themselves to be Han, which is arguably the largest ethnic group in the world. It is a remarkable contrast with Western countries that are divided by race.
"The modernization of China is the Hanization of China, the event that holds China together," said Jacques.
Jacques concluded his sweeping introduction to Chinese civilization with a bit of advice. He said that the West needs to know China better to get along with it and to anticipate its movements on the world stage. And get used to dealing with it, since China will not simply be beaten into submission.
The lecture was sponsored by the Center for Chinese Studies.

I had to look up what 'photobomb' means.
Are you telling us kids to get off your lawn?
In this case, no. More, I'm saying "just when I think I got stuff, I find that I am still a dumbass".
Get off my lawn: "Twitter sucks". And it does.

lack of knowledge of stupid stuff doesn't make you a dumbass... at least that's what I tell myself...
until photobombing is in webster, we don't need to know :-)
I was confident this was a super old thread when I saw this - like, '07 old. I didn't know there was stuff you didn't know.
Life moves pretty fast.
(oh. And for the record, I probably did know more in 2007. My brain is casting off stuff like it is trying not to sink. Meanwhile, new stuff happens and my brain can't soak it in. Get off my lawn.)
Saturday I ran Grammas Marathon. Afterwords, a bunch of us met up for food and drink at Fitgers Brewhouse, then on to Portland Malt SHoppe for some tasty ice cream. Between the Brewhouse and the Malt Shoppe, a few of us stopped to get pictures. Right in between takes, some random teenager jumped in front of us and got caught in the shot. We done got photobombed.
Turns out the photobomber was one of our friends, not a random teenager. In our post-marathon, post-beer stupor, every one of us mistook her.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
What's "twitter"?
In true photobombing, the bomber doesn't block the shot -- he adds to its content from elsewhere in-frame. No word on whether he must observe the rule of thirds, though.
I think this qualifies AND meets the rule of thirds.
But you be the judge:
For added points, identify the RAers...
Fast is better than long
Buncha stoopid marathoners, who cares, worse yet 2/3 didn't even marathon this weekend, F'n slackards. I now understand why they didn't get the MFEB. Who gets awards for running half a race?

While straightforward, focused and loyal to her mistress, Yuyuko, Youmu is still rather immature, and tends to be a target for teasing by the other girls of Gensokyo. Paradoxically, she is afraid of ghosts (the imaginary sort). Her talents are swordfighting and speed.
Romance: Lesbian
Type: Teacher--Fencing
Ghost Youmu

Comment on this review
Nice design but over-sized
By RAW Bits
from Northern New Mexico
The product seems overly heavy, but that probably is due to the insulation which may be a plus for activities like snowmobiling. Love the pockets. I have yet to try it for a more active pursuit.
