Mason's future in question; other spring tidbits
BLOG: Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt touched on a variety of topics during his pre-spring practice press conference held this afternoon at the Indoor Practice Facility. (more…) (March 28, 2011)
"Pre-Spring" Ole Miss football depth chart
With spring practice's start just hours away Ole Miss officially released its "pre-spring" depth chart. Click the jump to see it in its entirety. (more…) (March 28, 2011)
Weight loss crucial for Washington's future success
The majority of Ole Miss' spring football practices can be summed up in two words — dominant defense.
Lately, however, the offense has been fighting back.
If the offensive line is going to continue to progress, it's going to need junior left guard Alex "Tank" Washington to fill in for some of the departed veterans.
More specifically, though, it's going to need Washington, who currently tips the scale at 350 pounds, to shed some weight. (April 13, 2010, Page 2B)
Rebel O getting frustrated by defense
Shortly after the Ole Miss defense stopped another play for a minimal gain during Monday's spring practice session, senior end Kentrell Lockett told running back Rodney Scott he knew what play the offense was going to run.
Whether Lockett really meant what he said or not, his message was clear: the Rebel defense can shut down most anything the offense is throwing their way. (April 6, 2010, Page 8)
Rebel D dominates in first scrimmage
It's been no surprise that Ole Miss' most experienced unit, the defensive line, set the tone during the first week of spring drills.
The Rebels' first scrimmage on Friday at Vaught Hemingway Stadium was no different as the unit of Jerrell Powe, Lawon Scott, Ted Laurent, Kentrell Lockett, Wayne Dorsey and others made life difficult on the youthful offensive line and quarterbacks. (April 5, 2010, Page 7A)
Barksdale suspended for remainder of spring drills
Tig Barksdale is Ole Miss' second spring casualty due to a "violation of team rules."
Following practice on Thursday, Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt informed the media that the former South Panola standout has been suspended for the remained of the spring. (April 2, 2010, Page 7A)
Dorsey has impressed early in UM spring drills
Only four days into spring drills and junior college transfer Wayne Dorsey is already turning heads, and it's not just because he's 6-foot-8, 255-pounds — although that helps.
The junior defensive end from Gulf Coast Community College has been a standout on the practice field and is already playing with the first team. (April 1, 2010, Page 7)
Offense continuing to make strides on practice field
While it's no secret that the Ole Miss defense has been the standout unit on the practice field this spring, the Rebel offense has slowly been making strides. (March 31, 2010, Page 9)
For the first time this spring the Ole Miss football Rebels strapped on their pads on Monday for Day 3 of practice.
With the Rebels still getting their feet wet after over two months away from the gridiron, errors weren't few and far in between. (March 30, 2010, Page 9)

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
Great products to test / travel with. Could there be an easier reward system to get free products to test out....
great mix of samples my favorite was the cologne i actually went out and bought it after receiving it with this pack of samples
My boyfriend liked the lotions that were in the two free sample packs. I wish they would have included one larger and one smaller item and two different types of products, but he seemed happy with it.
I got this sample for free with my last order and can't complain. I got the Jack Black Hand Healer and Billy Jealousy facial scrub. Can't tell which was supposed to be the deluxe sample though as they were about the same size. I really like both products and for free, well you can't beat that!
Received this with my most recent order and I am satisfied. I was given the American Crew Alternator and the Evolution Man Shave cream. The American Crew product is a hair styling product and it works well. The shave cream by Evolution Man is great and gets the job done. It leaves my neck non irritated after shaving which I appreciate. Both get the job done.
First time I did this I was disappointed. I got an item that I ordered and I sample I had got in my last Birchbox, Second time scored with a nice cologne sample and a haircare sample. Sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't but hey it's free. I have waited to do an order until this was back in stock.
While placing an order for myself, I added this item as a surprise gift for my fiancé, hoping he would like to try out some new products. He got to try one .3 fl oz sample of face moisturizer and one new type of tea. He was so excited that my mail included a small gift for him. Really, you can't go wrong with free samples.
I was expecting samples like the ones i receive in my monthly birchbox but I received a very small sample of chapstick and a small sample of cologne. I did enjoy the products just wish the sizes were bigger. If i had paid for this I would have been more upset but for free you cant really complain.
The mystery pack was okay. All that came in it was some pre-shave cream, and another small sample. I did receive the Wrapster myself, and really liked it.
Added this on to an order of mine, so it was free, but the women's surprise pack was better than the mens. I thought I would tag this on to show my boyfriend what he could possibly get in his birch box, but the samples were just face wipes and he wasn't impressed. I would like to try again to see what he gets, but for now I will stick to getting the women's mystery pack.

The Aetas (Percentages in Luzon, Philippines)
The Aeta (pronounced as eye-ta,), or Agta are an indigenous people who live in scattered, isolated mountainous parts of Luzon. They are considered to be Negritos, who are dark to very dark brown skinned and tend to have features such as a small stature, small frame, curly hair, small nose, and dark brown eyes. They are thought to be the first inhabitants of the Philippines, preceding the Austronesian migrations. The Aeta were included in the group of people termed "Negrito" during Spanish colonial rule as Negritos. Various Aeta groups in northern Luzon are known as "Pugut" or "Pugot," a name designated by their Ilocano-speaking neighbors, and which is the colloquial term for those with darker complexions. In Ilocano, the word also means "goblin" or "forest spirit." History The history of the Aeta continues to confound anthropologists and archaeologists. One theory suggests that the Aeta are the descendants of the original inhabitants of the Philippines who contrary to their sea-faring Austronesian neighbors arrived through land bridges that linked the country with the Asian mainland about 30,000 years ago. Unlike many of their Austronesian counterparts, the Aetas have shown resistance to change. The attempts of the Spaniards to settle them in reducciones or reservations all throughout Spanish rule failed. Mining, deforestation, illegal logging, and slash-and-burn farming has caused the indigenous population in all parts of the Philippines to steadily decrease to the point where they number in the thousands today, but unlike the federal laws granting Native Americans land and protection, the Philippines affords them no protection. In addition, the Aeta have become extremely nomadic due to social and economic strain on their culture and way of life that had previously remained unchanged for thousands of years. The Aeta have no sense of money or land ownership and sometimes can be seen camping out in city parks or panhandling. While resisting change from the other society for hundreds of years, the Aetas have adjusted to social, economic, cultural, and political pressures with remarkable resilience; they have created systems and structures within their culture to cushion the sudden impact of change. Language All Aeta communities have adopted the language of their Austronesian neighbors, which have sometimes diverged over time to become different languages. These include, in order of number of speakers, Mag-indi, Mag-antsi, Abellen, Ambala, and Mariveleño. @ http://www.answers.com/Aeta |

They are actually genetically related to the Andamanese Islanders of India and the Orang Asli of Malay Peninsula.

Joe H
of Redding, CA - January, 09 2013:
Price is a big factor for me. I tossed this purchase around in my head for a good month or two. Tried the Vortex diamondbacks and similar priced Leupolds,Alpens,Nikons. Tried them outside the store with salesman. They were all good. Leaning toward thre Vortex brand. Then tried the Vortex viper HD,s. Wow... Notably higher quality optics. Against the more expensive competitors it was a easy choice. Add the life time unconditional warranty . Cant beat the deal. Very good in low light and even in moon light I can make out images. Very crisp clear images. I was surprised when my wife picked them up oone morning and was scoping out the back 40 and said wow these are really good. How much were they? Just replied I got 50 off the regular price. Happened to catch a on line discount code. Good luck hunting. I am super impressed and happy with these.
Mike of Reno, NV - October, 31 2013:This is one of the better optics that i have looked through recently. Very clear edge to edge with high contrast and color resolution. I think this is the best optic for the price range.
Joseph of Arvada, CO - February, 09 2014:These binoculars rock! I compared several different binoculars looking for a hunting set up. These are a great blend of super bright optics, light weight, and a killer warranty. There are better binoculars for a lot more money. For me it came down to these and the luepold McKinley bx4 HD. The luepolds are a nice pair for me the difference was the VIP warranty on the Vortex brand. I will say though the McKinley bx4 were very bright and crisp from edge to edge. Bottom line is the viper HD 10x42 binoculars rock!
Joseph of Arvada, CO - February, 11 2014:Killer binoculars. $600 isn't cheap, but for hunting elk I think the best glass a guy can afford will be helpful. So for me after shopping around for about 4 months(online and in person) it came down to the viper hd, or leupold bx4 mckinley. They both have a bright, clear view. The leupolds are noticeably heavier, but not by much. I got the 10x42 size which seems great for the size/weight. The vip warranty was the deciding factor for me. No matter whos fault vortex will replace or fix these if they break! If your thinking abot the Vortex viper hd, go for it! You won't be sorry!

Margaret Carroll's Books
Hamptons socialite Christina Cardiff's stay in rehab is cut short with the tragic news that her husband has drowned in the swimming pool of their East Hampton estate. She rushes home to plan the funeral, only to find her newfound sobriety threatened by the cloud of suspicion hanging over her and the allure of her mysterious lover, Danny Cisco.
Publishers Weekly gave this book a starred review (7/13/09), saying "tight prose and excellent pacing....suspense fans who like a touch of romance will find this a winner." A Dark Love traces the journey of a young woman trying desperately to start over, understand her part in her doomed marriage, and find the courage to love again.
The first of two back-to-back...
Carroll develops what could be a stock story of an abusive marriage and turns it into a pulse-pounding romantic thriller with a strong, inspiring heroine determined to save herself."
—Publishers Weekly (Starred review)
About Margaret
I am an internationally published author of four novels. My debut thriller, A Dark Love (Avon/HarperCollins) was named one of the Top 100 Books of 2009 by Publishers Weekly, and was nominated for a prestigious Rita award by Romance Writers of America. I...

TFT 132 running time: 57 minutes 07 seconds – 27.5mb mp3
SPLICE starts at 4 minutes 20 seconds
SEX AND THE CITY 2 starts at 30 minutes 15 seconds
GET HIM TO THE GREEK starts at 43 minutes 40 seconds
[...] The Film Talk » TFT 132 – SPLICE / SEX AND THE CITY 2 / GET HIM TO THE GREEK [...]
yes, jett, see it. why? because i'm a sadist and enjoy watching other's pain. >:D
Kurosawa has Sex and The City (not once, but twice).
Why do I like this podcast so much? ;)
Dear god I endured the trailer for SATCii twice while waiting for movies I was willing to PAY to see. I will, so help me I will, listen to Episode #132 in its entirety (got that, Gareth?) but I will do so only in hopes of hearing the roast of all roasts.
I also hope 'greek' and 'splice' reviews aren't overwhelmed in the process.
Oh and I ALSO hope..
..the little TFT website sidebar teaser of SATCii being essentially a 'pro-muslim, pro-middle east' work reveals itself to be an intentionally satirical/sardonic/cynical comment about an imaginary, non serious, pop cultural crossroads where Islam Meets The West.
I've just begun my iTunes download of #132.
I must go now.
as far as I know Gareth is completely serious – he did genuinely seem to love it.
[...] The Film Talk » TFT 132 – SPLICE / SEX AND THE CITY 2 / GET HIM TO THE GREEK [...]
I'm happy to accept responsibility for helping to convince Gareth to see Splice – due to my duplicitous suggestion to Jett that he should lie to Gareth about the content. :) Of course, I'm happy that both hosts seemed to like Splice in one degree or another.
Also, I'm curious as to whether the reaction to SatC2 has made Gareth go back and watch the other SatC movie, or even all 23 seasons of the original show?
Lastly, I vote for Jett Loe to NOT see Sex and the City 2. Not because I hate or have negative feelings about the film; but because no one should have to watch a movie they don't want to. Plus, he's only bound to come back and try to one-up Gareth's movie-poster worthy quote.
Jett, I want you to see Sex and the City 2. I haven't seen it and don't intend to (which may change), but as it stands, The Film Talk mystifyingly endorses the film by default. So, if you hate it, I'd love to hear you both talk about the empowerment issue and the treatment of Muslims (my friend who did see it IMed me that it should have run with a PSA apologizing to, among others, gays, women, Muslims, and the disabled). I'd also like to hear you talk about the consensus idea that this is a commercial for conspicuous consumption. And if you love it or don't but see Gareth's point–speaking of which, I buy that negative reviews are easily funny, but Matt Zoller Seitz is a much deeper thinker than your average newspaper press–then I may just have to go see it, too.
Also, Houston, the fourth largest city in this country, has a mind-bogglingly sparse film culture, but we also have Tex-Mex if that's any enticement. Needless to say, I'm very intrigued by the teased details of Gareth's movie. Congratulations!
wait, i have to interject :P i'm from Houston – it is NOT a sparse film culture, independent-ly film speaking (my brother was in two just this year alone)…plus, robocop II was filmed there! ;) but seriously…it's more arty than mainstream i admit, but the film culture is there, check out Montrose and the Museum district! :D
(and tex-mex should be legal currency!!!!)
Gareth, your comments after the Seamus Heaney poem about the violence of growing up and the problem of connection for our generation were superb. I've been brooding on this topic much lately (esp. the transition siblings who are close undergo when each of them begin getting married). Just beautiful. Thanks for your words.
Thanks Maz – kind of you to say, and glad we're talking about things that the listener wants to discuss.
I agree with Gareth's take on SATCii. This drivel epitomizes the utterly soul-less, amoral potential of western industrial culture. By virtue of the contrast it is therefore a celebration of middle eastern muslim popular culture. Of course that would also make it a celebration of ancient Hittite culture, et al. – including possibly the civic virtues of those old-time favorite getaway destinations, Sodom and Gomorrah.
(p.s. don't see it jett .. thank me for this tip with a copy of episode 12)
Dear tftpete
I think you're on to something there.
Peace, GH
A question for Jett regarding Sex and the City, did you watch the 6 seasons on HBO? In comparison both the first and second films are tame. So, if you are not interested in that 23 & 1/2 hours of oftentimes brilliant and sparkling comedy why would you see the second in a series of spin off films? That being said I saw the film as a double feature with Get Him to the Greek and in my opinion that was in no real way a superior film. I like Gareth am disinclined to see scary films, so, I did not watch Splice before listening to the podcast, though I may catch it down the road. All this being said the format of The Film Talk for the most part up to this point has been both you and Gareth watching films and having conversations about them. So, I vote for you to see Sex and the City (if you can stomach it) and Gareth watching at the very least F for Fake and as at least a small segment of your next show revisiting those films which got the short shrift of one of the co-hosts not seeing the film before the original discussion.
Actually as you said Get Him to the Greek gets points for having Colm Meaney in it, but so does Sex and the City 2 for having Penelope Cruz in a bit part and having Raza Jaffrey playing a butler with dignity and grace which makes one wish for him to get more parts. By any chance does your wife want to go see Sex and the City? Maybe seeing a film together would be a fun way to endure seeing the films you are reviewing for the show?
Please Jett go and watch SATC2. Why? Because you're a ladie's man.
I cast my vote in favor of Jett screening SATC2: SOT. Why? Well, why do I listen to the Film Talk? Because, allegedly, "the conversation never ends." And if only one member of TFT has seen the film in question it fails to be a conversation. It is often an illuminating, hilarious monologue, but it ain't The Film Talk. C'mon, Jett! My 3 dollars have spoken!
Also, I would really, really, really, really love for Gareth to expand on how SATC2 can be both "most pro-Muslim, pro-Middle East" pop-cultural doo-dad of the last decade AND a sly subversion of Islam and the cultural values of the Middle East?? I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying I'm intrigued.
Also, somewhat surprised you guys like 'Get Him Into The Greek' so much. I thought it was…fine. Except for the fact that the film's humor had a curious flatness to it throughout, even when the jokes were clever or well-delivered. And maybe this is just me being an asshole, but why would Jonah Hill's character, a seemingly hip music aficionado who is into Radiohead and the Pixes, worship a glam-rock/ cock-rock cartoon character like Aldous Snow?
Voting for Jett to please see SATC II – I'd like to hear how your thoughts compare and contrast to Gareth's take on the movie.
In that case, please see it Jett. Just so we can get a little sanity here!! (Hopefully).
geez…okay i give up…i'm changing my vote and riding the popular wave of this web discussion: i now say JETT should GO SEE satc2 (and i want to make it perfectly clear this change has nothing to do with the fact i haven't received episode 12 yet, even if that would have been nice). go hittites!! and can anyone tell me when the polls officially close on the jett/satc2 voting in case *ahem* i feel like changing my vote again?
The way it's looking re: listener feedback – i just may have to go see SATC2 – am not sure when our 'cut-off' time is for this – probably just before we record the next ep – so folks have got till Thursday to get their votes in!
Yeah, go and see it Jett. I'm genuinely interested in what your take on Gareth's take is.
This appears to be the minority opinion, but … I respect Jett too much to push him into seeing SATC2.
Consider the context: Two weeks ago, he sat through "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", and this week he will (presumably) sit through "The A-Team" and/or "The Karate Kid". Isn't that enough dreck for one month? (Remember, people, he ain't getting paid for this.)
I'll concede that Gareth may be accurate in his review. Perhaps this film is ironic and self-aware. Perhaps it does say something worthwhile about female empowerment in a regressive patriarchal society. Perhaps it does critique – rather than celebrate – the debauchery and cultural arrogance of its lead characters.
But judging from the trailers and clips, the film appears to fail in at least one respect: it's not very funny. First and foremost, a comedy should be funny. Good intentions do not automatically redeem a bad film.
As an enthusiastic supporter of the show, may I gently suggest that Jett's time and resources might be better served elsewhere. Personally, I would rather hear a discussion of an old classic than a second dose of SATC2 analysis. In the past month, Criterion has released shiny new blu-ray editions of Ford's 'Stagecoach', Lang's 'M', and Godard's 'Vivre sa Vie'. Any one of these films would make a more interesting subject than 'SATC2 Revisited'.
So Jett, I say skip SATC2. Or at least wait for the DVD. Instead, gird yourself for "The A-Team", and then cleanse your mental palette by revisiting an established classic. You'll feel better in the morning.
You sir are a SAINT.
thank you.
i've spent part of today trying to convince gareth that i really really really don't need to see THE A-TEAM or KARATE KID – but alas, he's already screened THE A-TEAM so am duty bound to attend.
+ you mention M – have you seen THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE? now THAT'S cinema film my friend.
Was anybody else who saw the "Fred & Ginger" scene in the auditorium in Splice reminded of a "Gallagher" show?
If it is torture for Jett to go see Sex and the City, stick to your guns and don't go see it. Maybe let this be a sort of turning point and mark the slate clean by forgetting about how Gareth was forced to see Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (or whatever it was called), and all the other films that each of you regret seeing or just skipped watching in the first place. You say that you agree to disagree, well do you want to agree ahead of time which films you are going to screen and review or decide that sometimes one of you will review a particular film while the other refrains from screening or reviewing, but without recrimination as you planned ahead of time to proceed with one reviewer only.
jett, i don't respect you, GO SEE IT! ;)
seriously, though, i am very interested in your take on what the movie may actually be doing or attempting to accomplish. I saw an interview with Michael Patrick King (the director) and he explained his purpose for SATC2 as, "How funny to put samantha, over-sexualized, in abu dabi!" He was witty (and apparently once a stand up comedian) but not overly DEEP. So, with your artist goggles on, I, and i think a lot of your listeners, would love to see if there's this hidden depth, this hidden meaning, that we're missing. Why not go see it for ourselves and use our own judgment? Cuz you got the mad skillz…seriously! you have film school education-ness – like a wine taster who's also a winemaker, you can see complexities that we, the un-educated plebeianic masses ;), may have missed! Which is ultimately the purpose of the podcast, otherwise why listen?
and i'll be honest, what i fear is that what the great dr professor higgins takes as pro-muslim may actually be relief that for once the 'arabic,' 'asian,' or 'middle-eastern' characters are not being used to perpetuate violent stereotypes. While that may be a plus and possibly even a small teeny step in the right direction, relegating them to simply personality-less 'props' in scenes does not a pro-muslim film make. THIS is what i'd, personally, like to see your take on…
and ditto to the Testament of Dr Mabuse!
I say skip SatC2 and use the time to go see Exit Through the Gift Shop!
Good points from Eric Wheeler and all!

Sprint Complaint - Sprint made a mistake that cost me 2 days of business.
Review by
compensation time
Comments (2)
WASHINGTON -- Sprint disconnected my cell phone June 15 and 16th 2007 last week for 2 days without notice or warning. I called the *2 for CS and my balance was zero, I waited over 40 minutes to speak with CS and found out that The fraud dept disconnected my phone based on an extra line they saw on my bill, That has been there since 2005 mmmm!. After 3 phone calls totaling 6 hours of wait time and explanation and 2 days later my phone was turned on. I lost 2 days of business with clients and 6 hours of time and lots of frustration. And a lot of "OH MA I AM SORRY". I was told this was a glitch in the system. It should not have occured. Through this episode, I found out that Sprint CS did not make a change to my account based on my march 23, 2007 phone call to increase my minutes and plan for the next billing cycle. which would have been 4-12to 5-12 2007 I was out of town and just paid the bill over the phone. After i reviewed the bill I discovered that Sprint did not increase my plan based on the March 23, call. The bill at $406. was paid by me, with no questions asked, but no plan changes had been made and I was paying for the minutes they said I went over. When in fact with the new plan I did not go over. I was given my mony back by a credit to the next month bill.I havent seen it yet! ONCE again no compensate to me for my time or troubles, My LOSS of business no one seems to understand that if SPRINT lost 2 days of business it would be costly based on another large companies mistake someone would be getting a compensation. The CS rep informed me that I had not balance due on my bill yet therefore not real reason to disconnect me expect the MISTAKE by the other dept. Pass the buck people!!!! At this time I was informed that I was over my minutes for the next billing cycle. This is all within one week, Then Sprint CS told me the reason for the disconnect was that I went over my minutes, not true no bill was due. I was already told by 2 CS people that it was a glitch in the system and they were sorry that I lost 2 days of business etc.... I asked how are you going to compensate me for the 2 days of missed business and my time...I was given 100 free minutes. I said no!!!!!! 2 DAYS OF MISSED BUSINESS. invalid disconnect and not appling my new plan and charging me the wrong amount and costing me hours and days. I was told how about 75.00 credit I said NO!!! Two days of no phone for your mistake!!!!!!!!! I said how about giving me credit for the minutes that I went over and we will call the whole thing good. Sprint SC supervisor named Sophie said no! I said lets split the charges she said NO! so here I am and I am looking to get compensated for sprints errors and time and cost to my business!!!!!!!!!! I need a reple soon.... SPRINT I will be calling the offices on monday etc.

I hear ya, you lost 2 days of business....
Posted by CrazyRedHead on 2007-06-24:
Have you read your contract? Although I know this is inconvenient as heck, but Sprint is not responsible for loss of business and they don't have to compensate you for anything. You should have taken the free minutes or the $75.00 credit. If you prorate your bill for the two days time it is only going to be a few dollars. It would be nice of them to do this for you but I doubt you will get exactly what you want here.

The 12 Most Infamous Economic Conspiracy Theories
The digital rag Business Insider (run by Henry Blodget, the unabashed Wall Street Internet booster) goes for more SEO-friendly conspiracy bashing:
The economy has sparked a wide variety of truly bizarre conspiracy theories. Despite the fact that they have no basis in truth, people continue to believe them with almost religious zeal.
The internet has given them a wider forum and audience, and has proved to be fertile ground for these ideas to spread.
These are the myths, conspiracy theories, and flat out falsehoods that just won't die.
The Federal Reserve is a private corporation run for the profit of its shareholder banks.
Origin: This one's been kicking around almost since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. It's the subject of a three hour documentary called "The Money Masters".
The reality: Nationally chartered banks do hold stock in their regional Federal Reserve Banks, and receive a small portion (6 percent of their stock) of the profits of their regional banks, which is presumably the origin of this theory.
The Bank of the Fed is Closed…Forever
In an effort to explain our escalating financial crisis, an American Nightmare (an Environmental Dream), the pundits are focusing their angst on the 44th POTUS, who might very well go down as the single most inept president in all of American history. (How to Squander the Presidency in One Year, David Michael Green)
Barack Obama is not inept, greedy or stupid and he isn't one of "us".
He rose from obscurity to power with his top economics adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the co-founder of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission and he travels in the same circles as other members of the super-secret Skull & Bones Society at Yale University, who pretend to be running for president every four years.
The decision to have Obama preside over the greatest financial calamity since the Great Depression was made five years ago; the November election was a formality. (Why Joseph Biden will be the Next Vice President of the United States)
To believe otherwise, is to ignore the Bradley/Palin effect and the decision by John McCain to wait until his concession speech to shed the image of a nasty "grumpy old man."
In September 2008, when the Obama campaign seemed to be slumping and their candidate's long-standing lead in the polls had evaporated, the senator's supporters openly worried that a potential victory might be slipping away.… Read the rest
Silver, But No Silver Lining
By Robert Singer
The end of our consumer society is on the horizon, which should be no surprise to anyone who took Economics 101. Do we really expect to spend our way out of this mess by buying and selling each other useless cheap stuff from China?
As the financial collapse gathers steam, gold and silver oracles like Butler, Friedman, Morgan and Turk who have been predicting for years the launch of the price of silver to the moon will see their prophecy fulfilled, but a celebration is not in order.
Being wealthy during the last 60 years of unprecedented prosperity at the expense of the Third World and the environment is one thing, but profiting from a bull market in silver when millions of hungry Americans are living in tent-cities next door is quite another.
A default at the Comex that will ignite the explosion in the price of silver and gold is in progress.… Read the rest
2008 Financial Collapse: An Inside Job
By Robert Singer
Maybe it's the smoke from Mt. Vesuvius that keeps Arianna Huffington and the financial community from seeing that the economic collapse has nothing to do with the Fed "missing" the warning signs leading up to the October meltdown.
"Things do not happen. Things are made to happen." John F. Kennedy
The Fed didn't miss anything; the October meltdown was an inside job.
Capitalism never made sense
Professor Ebeling, the Ludwig von Mises professor of Economics at Hillsdale College, understood something was wrong when he wrote: "the perverse development and evolution of historical capitalism, the institutions necessary for a truly free-market economy have been either undermined or prevented from emerging."
But when he claimed, "it is the principles and the meaning of a free-market economy that must be rediscovered" in order to overcome the burden of historical capitalism and save liberty, he should have written that principles must be rediscovered in order to prevent the planet from attempted murder (ecocide).… Read the rest

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) - OfficeMax Inc. lowered its third-quarter revenue outlook on Wednesday citing soft back-to-school sales and weak technology sales.
The office supplies company now expects quarterly revenue to be slightly lower than a year ago. OfficeMax previously predicted that its results would be in line with the prior-year period's $1.81 billion.
Analysts polled by FactSet expect revenue of $1.81 billion.
OfficeMax maintained that revenue for the second half of the year will be slightly higher than its results during the same period a year ago.
Last month OfficeMax reported a second-quarter loss as it dealt with higher operating expenses and some charges.
OfficeMax, based in Naperville, Ill., made the projections Wednesday before a scheduled presentation at the Goldman Sachs Annual Global Retailing Conference.
Its shares slipped 3 cents to $5.23 in premarket trading.

Court case could redefine business method, software patents
About a decade ago, a federal appeals court issued a ruling that prompted thousands of new applications for patents on so-called "business methods," ranging from Amazon.com's "1-click" ordering system to Priceline's auction technique for selling tickets.
But at what point are such processes too "abstract" to be worthy of patent protection? That's one of the key questions that was set to be argued Thursday afternoon before an atypical 12-judge "en banc" panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington.

Google will take Viacom suit to Supreme Court
Google is willing to fight Viacom all the way to the Supreme Court in the companies' legal battle over YouTube and pirated videos, but Viacom is taking a hard line of its own, executives from the companies said Wednesday.
David Eun, Google's vice president of content partnerships, told Dow Jones Newswires that Google has no plan to resolve the Viacom case outside court. "We're going all the way to the Supreme Court," Eun said. "We're very clear about it."
Separately, Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone told Dow Jones he's standing up for broader … Read more
What the ASCAP music decision means for consumers
There's no mistaking who benefited from a federal-court decision to set licensing fees that three top Web services must pay songwriters and publishers for the right to stream their music.
But the question left unanswered is whether the losers also include consumers.
AOL, RealNetworks, and Yahoo may end up paying the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) $100 million as a result of a decision by a U.S. district judge to set the licensing fee for streaming music at 2.5 percent of adjusted music-use revenue.
"(The court's decision) is a victory for songwriters, … Read more
Courts chip away at Web sites' decade-old legal shield
For more than a decade, Web site operators have enjoyed a broad legal shield against lawsuits filed over material posted by their users, which has let user-driven sites like YouTube and MySpace.com flourish.
But a pair of recent rulings by federal district judges have chipped away at that protective shield. If those decisions are upheld on appeal, and if more judges follow suit, Web site operators and Internet service providers may find themselves compelled to police what their users post--or face the unsettling prospect of being held liable for the contents.
"We fear these cases might inspire a … Read more

The group, the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, argued that such ads are prohibited under the Fair Housing Act and that Craigslist should be held liable for allowing them to be posted on its Web site.

Supreme Court strikes down law targeting online cigarette sales
The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down a Maine law that slapped severe restrictions on sales of cigarettes via mail order and the Internet.
In their opinion (PDF) on Wednesday, the justices said a 1994 federal law trumped the Maine statute restricting sales and shipments of tobacco.
The 1994 federal law in question says that no state may enact a law "related to a price, route, or service of any motor carrier...with respect to the transportation of property."
That seems pretty clear: cigarettes are property, and the Maine regulations targeted motor carriers transporting them. But Maine … Read more
Supreme Court rejects domestic wiretap appeal

The American Civil Liberties Union, which filed suit in 2006 on behalf of journalists, scholars, criminal defense attorneys and Islamic-Americans, had sought review of a 2-1 decision last summer by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to throw out its case.
The ACLU obtained a victory at the trial court level in August 2006. A federal judge in Michigan ruled that the NSA's once-secret … Read more
Supreme Court rejects cell-phone tax case
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to weigh a dispute that could affect how taxes show up on Americans' cell phone bills, dealing a setback to wireless companies.
The case at hand, which pitted Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA against state utility regulators, centers on whether states should be allowed to forbid wireless carriers from breaking out various state and local taxes as line-item fees on a customer's bill.
Sounds like a simple enough matter, but it has actually stirred up quite a fuss.
The wireless companies, naturally, maintain they should be able to establish a visible separation … Read more

George Washington was the first President of the United States, , and led the Continental Army to victory over the Kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War .
Washington was chosen to be the commander-in-chief of the American revolutionary forces in 1775. The following year, he forced the British out of Boston, lost New York City, and crossed the Delaware River in New Jersey and defeating the surprised enemy units later that year. As a result of his strategy, Revolutionary forces captured the two main British combat armies—Saratoga and Yorktown. Negotiating with Congress, the colonial states, and French allies, he held together a tenuous army and a fragile nation amid the threats of disintegration and failure. Following the end of the war in 1783, Washington retired to his plantation on Mount Vernon.

"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence."
George Washington
"Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
"The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government"
"Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals"
"Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected."
"I earnestly pray that the Omnipotent Being who has not deserted the cause of America in the hour of its extremest hazard, will never yield so fair a heritage of freedom a prey to "Anarchy" or "Despotism""
"Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God."
George Washington Carver
"I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in."
"Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also – if you love them enough."
"When our thoughts - which bring actions - are filled with hate against anyone, Negro or white, we are in a living hell. That is as real as hell will ever be."

Automotive Digital Marketing Professional Community
ADM serves Car Dealers, Automotive Marketing Pros and Internet Sales Managers
If you are like me, you may not feel as refreshed as you should be in the new year. I know I'm not. Holidays are exhausting from shopping for the perfect gift to visiting your family - it can all be a drag on your energy levels. I'm sure you're feeling the same way and no doubt you also need to be recharged for 2013, so here are a couple of tips to "get back on the horse" as they say, courtesy of Amex's Open Forum:
1. Get your priorities in line.
Time management is a year-round challenge for business owners. That's why it's more important than ever to know your priorities.
TIP: Set a stopwatch for 20 minutes and write down everything that needs to be done during the month. Then, give yourself another 10 minutes to assess which of those tasks are the most important to yourself, your dealership and your family. Keep that list in mind as you start each day—and make sure all your activities are centered around those core priorities.
2. Ditch the New Year's resolutions.
A FranklinCovey survey found that 80 percent of people who make New Year's resolutions will break them. And a third never make it to the end of January. If you're one of the many people who have left a string of resolutions behind, it's time for a new approach.
TIP: Rather than creating your resolutions for 2013, this time to reflect on your dealership and market. What were some of the best things that your dealership accomplished this year? What were some of the biggest mistakes? Don't rush to begin planning the new year until you've celebrated your wins and acknowledged your mistakes.
3. Evaluate your year as a business leader.
In addition to reflecting on your business, this is a good time to reflect on yourself. Be as objective as possible, write down your strongest characteristics as a leader—and your weakest. Then, think about how each of these characteristics impacted your dealership, team members and partners during the year. This type of objective self-assessment can help you pinpoint areas to improve in 2013.
4. Show the love.
Think about the most important people you've worked with throughout the year. Then, let them know just how much you appreciate them.
5. Unplug and recharge your batteries.
Downtime is the only real way to hit the reset button, both personally and professionally. And it will open the door to fresh perspectives and new inspiration.
TIP: Whenever I'm not feeling inspired, I grab someone and play ping-pong with them for 15 minutes. It recharges me and makes me feel awake! Grab someone and DO something to recharge your brain!
If that doesn't recharge you for 2013, I don't know what will! If you have any additional tips on recharging yourself, feel free to comment below!

How To... Pick A Computer
When it comes to choosing which computer you should buy, the process can be draining. With so many varying options, your mind can easily become overloaded with information. However, by following these step-by-step directions, you should be able to find the perfect computer for you!
Step 1: Think about what you needHow do you plan to use the computer? Answering this question is the first step to the computer buying process. If you just want to surf the internet and check your email, you can concentrate on value. On the other hand, if you are a serious gamer, performance should be your number one concern. Step 2: Set a budgetFigure out how much you want to spend on a computer. The best idea is to decide how much you want to spend (or how much you can afford) prior to going out on the computer market. This ensures that you don't spend more money than you can safely part with. Step 3: Begin your shoppingOnce you are ready to begin your shopping, don't underestimate the number of possible stores you should consider. Look online but don't forget about your local electronics stores and even local wholesale retailors. You can find fantastic deals if you take the time to look. Step 4: Compare and contrastWhen comparing different computer options, consider its specs but also consider the store's return policy. You should have some recourse if your computer turns out to be a lemon. Step 5: Read reviewsNarrow down your options until you have just a couple computers left. At that point, reading online reviews about that specific model is also a very good idea. Step 6: Rewind the tapePrior to pulling the trigger on the computer, review the first two steps and make sure that this computer can do what you want it to do and also make sure that it fits your budget.

| This is how I got the VideoCam Messenger to work on a computer running Windows 7 (32-bit): VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!: DO NOT restart your computer at any point until the very end of these steps. 1. Plug in the webcam. 2. Windows will install their weird Sonix driver from 1994 automatically. 3. The most crucial part: Click "Devices" in the Windows Control Panel. Click on the USB Camera (whatever the webcam is called)... then you need to go to the "Properties" until you can UNINSTALL the driver that Windows automatically installed. I think you have to click Properties twice to be able to get to a place where it lets you uninstall the driver. 4. DO NOT restart. 5. Download this: ** REMOVED ** (Incase the link is broken, this is directly from the GeniusNet website and it's called "VideoCAM Messenger Driver for Win 7 / vista 32 bit") 6. Install this completely, but DO NOT restart. (Also, make sure you click "Install this anyway" when it asks you about being an unsigned driver.) 7. After you do that and you DO NOT restart, it will automatically come up with a screen that shows Windows installing the driver, but this time it's installing the actual driver from the software you downloaded in step 4. You may now restart your computer if you want. If you do these steps correctly, I guarantee you will have your VideoCam Messenger webcam working. |

The capability of a fabric to soak up moisture. Absorbency is a key fabric property, which affects other characteristics such as comfort, the build up of static, shrinkage, stain removal, water repellency, and wrinkle recovery.
Dec 29, 2010, 01.07 AMby StitchayWoman
Is this supposed to be an article?
Dec 28, 2010, 11.43 PMby daiyami
This would be a far more helpful post if it said something about HOW absorbency affects static, stains, comfort, etc. Are highly absorbent fabrics more or less likely to suffer static cling? Do less absorbent fabrics wrinkle more or less? Is high-absorption more or less comfortable, and does that change if it's winter or summer? What are some common examples of typically absorbent and un-absorbent fabrics? How does absorbency relate to the "wicking-away" properties of synthetic fabrics.
Give me some information that I can use to pick the right fabric for a project. All I've learned from this is how much I don't know.

How much turmeric and cinnamon is too much?
Image thanks to CINNAMON VOGUE.
Like soy, the spice turmeric may also suppress human fat cells, and not only have an antiproliferative effect on human cancer cells, but may prevent cancer metastases by inhibiting cancer cell invasion. The main turmeric compound is even being considered as a leading treatment for multidrug resistant breast cancer.
If it's that good for you, why not take a lot of it. Not some extract, but actual turmeric, the whole food, but just in large doses—three grams; six or seven capsules a day. Is this a bad idea? Does it not matter either way? Or the more the better?
Unfortunately, it turns out tumeric has too much oxalate to take that kind of daily dose, which would increase risk of kidney stones. And anyone who thinks kidney stones aren't the big deal has never passed an oxalate kidney stone out through their urethra. So keep it under a teaspoon of turmeric a day.
Notice the title, though what about cinnamon? Like tumeric cinnamon seems to have all sorts of amazing benefits, but also like tumeric is high in oxalates. In fact cinnamon has the same amount of oxalates that turmeric does, so is a spoonful of cinnamon too much too? Harmful, harmless, or helpful?
Even a few spoonfuls a day is not too much, because it's not what you eat, it's what you absorb, and while cinnamon and turmeric have the same amount of oxalates, more than 90% of the tumeric oxalates are soluble, versus less than 10% of those from the cinnamon.
To get the benefits, though, you've got to eat cinnamon every day. After just a single day of eating a daily teaspoon of cinnamon you can see with the dotted line how well it blunts the blood sugar spike you get when you eat a whopping load of sugar. On day 15 they stopped eating cinnamon, though, and you can see by the next day the effect was gone. So we have to keep it up.

Hello Dr. Greger,
I just stumbled upon this website and it's fantastic! I recently started university and learned about looking for primary research articles as opposed to secondary ones online for the most accurate information regarding nutrition. However, one problem is that I am not yet so adept at understanding many technicalities of primary research articles. This website does an amazing job at summing up information which would otherwise take me quite a while to decode!
Anyway, I've been using turmeric in a recipe that I've been eating daily (about half a tablespoon). This is obviously more than the "safe" amount recommended above, but I've heard that turmeric is highly anti-inflammatory, so I don't want to stop eating turmeric all together. Is there a way to counter the effects of a high oxalate diet and prevent kidney stones while still continuing to eat turmeric daily? For example, are there foods rich in a certain nutrient that can prevent oxalate-induced kidney stones?
Kevin Lei
I am so glad you stumbled! That's always been my dream, to act as "translator," to de-jargonize and bring to light science that would otherwise remain neglected due to a lack of commercial interest. There's lots of plant-foods that are anti-inflammatory (see http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/inflammation/ so you don't have to risk the health of your urinary tract, but if you insist on consuming that much drinking lots of water in hopes of preventing stone formation might mitigate the risk.
Hi, I was really bummed to read your article on turmeric. I just recently found out if I take 2 capsules of Organic India tumeric twice per day my joint stiffness and soreness leaves like magic. I am able to do yoga poses I had long since given up. Needless to say I was ecstatic, that is until I read about the oxalates. I was wondering if there is a higher incidence of kidney problems in India. How do all the people there that eat lots of curry survive? As if that news wasn't bad enough I put a tsp. of cinnamon in a smoothie almost every night and often add nutmeg to it. I think I am doomed. Any (hopefully reassuring) feedback on my comment will be greatly appreciated.
Cinnamon may be safely low in oxalates, but it may be dangerously high in hepatotoxic coumarin, according to Wikipedia and its German governmental cited source. Coumadin in cassia cinnamon would exceed the German tolerated daily intake at `1 tsp cinnamon per day for a 135lb person. I'm smaller than that, and have sometimes exceeded that dose, and had elevated liver enzymes in recent blood labs (better at the next visit). I will cut back– or switch to Ceylon (true) cinnamon, which is more expensive than cassia cinnamon, but is said to contain negligible coumarin. Of course, we don't know which species of cinnamon may contain what proportions of beneficial phytonutrients. Plants are complicated. We need an authoritative "Which is the Best Cinnamon?"(!) May not be easy: coumarin levels can vary wildly, even in cinnamon bark samples from the same tree (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101103135352.htm).
As I use a lot of spices in my food and turmeric root powder is one of my favorites, I was alarmed by the red-light associated with it in this report. Sometimes I use up to a tablespoon at a time, but then go for days without using it at all. While the information describes the benefits, the point that consuming "large doses" (3 grams?) to increased risk of kidney stones is certainly a serious consideration. Can you point to further details on this risk, how to continue using this spice without having it be "unsafe", or any way to offset the oxalate formation resulting from too much turmeric?
Also have you come across anything on Goldenseal root powder – another yellow root that is claimed to have some of the same beneficial effects? It does not appear to include curcumin as one of its components. (As a side note, goldenseal is about 9x the cost of turmeric powder!)
Goldean seal has an unfortunate side effect of depleating vitamin b12. Thus use it very sparingly more so than even tumeric.
I just had a kidney stone and really don't want to have another one. I looked online and there are conflicting things about what I should eat to prevent a recurrence. What is the best diet?
I'm going to assume you have what's called idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis (but if you can actually catch a stone and have it analyzed your physician can make more specific recommendations). ICN, the formation of calcium oxalate stones (sometimes mixed with calcium phosphate) accounts for about 80% of cases (though you should see your physician to rule out a variety of hereditary and acquired diseases that can cause those in the 20%).
The most important thing folks with ICN can do is drink lots of water, at least 2 liters a day to dilute the concentration of calcium, oxalate, and uric acid in your urine to decrease the likelihood of stone formation and flush away seeding crystals. Water's probably the best, but if you are going to do other liquids OJ is preferable to grapefruit juice, apple juice, and tea.
In terms of food, according to the latest review on the subject, the most important thing is to reduce meat consumption (vegetarians may only have half the kidney stone risk. The reasons given why animal proteins are bad is because of hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria, hypocitraturia, and the acidification of the urine. You should also cut down on salt, and the more fruits and vegetables the better–they tend to have a high water, potassium, and magnesium content; a low sodium chloride content; and a high urine alkalinization power because of the presence of bicarbonate and citrate. I would warn against megadosing with vitamin C (as you'll see across the internet) as this may exacerbate stone formation.
My husband just got out if the hospital for kidney stone removal. The paper they gave us says it can be caused by meat, coffee, tea and green leafy vegetables. I don't understand. If meat is bad and so are greens what do you eat? Fruit?
Leafy greens vary in their oxalate content and probably their oxalate bioavailability. Here's a link I found with lists of low and medium oxalate greens – there's lots to choose from!
Also be sure to check out my associated blog post Breast Cancer and Diet!
Hi! Thanks for the great posts. I just came across this article on cinnamon polyphenols http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089990071200144X
And I'm curious about the effect of different types of cinnamon on both blood sugar and inflammation. I recognize that there is a difference between true cinnamon (ceylon) and cassia, and I believe the authors of the study I've provided the link for use Cinnulin PF which is a cassia derivative. However, it's hard to tell from Cinnulin PF's manufacturers which plant it derives from. Do you have an idea of the different benefits of different cinnamon plants, specifically how they vary in polyphenol contents? I eat quite a bit of the Vietnamese variety (Cinnamomum loureiroi) and am especially curious about this one (compared to others). I'm a biochemist, so feel free to go at it with the scientific terminology.
I had posted a question concerning taking turmeric and your reply included a link to this video and said you do not recommend capsules of turmeric. In the video you mention a dose of 3 grams. My husband's dose was recommended at only 500-1,000mg/day. Does this amount affect your recommendation? FYI -He is dealing with a rare appendiceal cancer and his body over-expresses the COX-2 enzyme which turmeric seems to help with according to one of the studies you cited. Thank you!
Hello! I'm curious–how is your husband now, if you don't mind my asking?
I just had two thyroid test that showed I have a hypothyroid. I am a male, 57 yrs. old and have been eating a vegan diet since 1988. I have yearly blood test, and everything looks good usually. The last few months I have been doing a 1/4 teaspoon of amla and one or two teaspoons of cinnimon a day, I do 5 drops of silica a day, but I have been doing that for years. I just started 1 tablespoon of dusle and 1 brazil nut a day. I stopped taking amla and cinnimon. Do you think the amla or cinnimon could have anything to do with thyroid being high?
Thanks, Ray
If instead of taking a teaspoon of turmeric/day, I take 400mg of its active ingredient curcumin (Curcumin (Curcuma longa)(rhizomes) (containing three curcuminoids: curcumin, bisdemethoxy curcumin, demethoxy curcumin)[standardized to contain 95% curcuminoids] with 100mg of Lecithin (soy) for absorption as a long term supplement regimen, will that be cause of any toxicity including liver toxicity?
Is there a maximum amount of cinnamon at is safe each day? I have been having at least 3 tablespoons each day lately of Ceylon cinnamon, is that too much? Thanks in advance. really appreciate all of your videos.
Woops, autocorrect changed a few things, it should read "Is there a maximum amount that is safe each day? And I really appreciate all of your videos."
What about coconut oil, meat, and water? Some say there are great benefits from consuming these.
Coconut oil and meat are high in saturated fat which clog your arteries amongst other things.
Water than has been purified with carbon reduces certain pesticides/herbicides and industrial chemicals and water that has been purified with Reverse Osmosis as well as a carbon filter is even better. It helps reduce the fluoride and other heavy metals from your drinking water source.
I use a Multi-Pure 750 plus RO to reduce the poisons in my water, which includes aluminum sulfate added by the water company to clarify the water, but found to damage to brain. It is linked to Alzeheimer's Disease ane dementia in a myriad of scientific studies.
RO plus carbon filtration is recommended by Dr. Neal Barnard, M.D. in his book,

coconut are good fats, not clogging fats
You need to brush up on your biochemistry.
Don't get your science from the package labels of coconut products.
Saturated fats, whether from plant or animal sources, are still long chain fatty acids. If you are at risk, coconut can make it worse.
Especially in concentrated, processed oil form.
Jarrow Formulas Curcumin 95 (http://www.jarrow.com/product/384/Curcumin_95) low in oxalates?
Hello Dr. Gregor,
My mother-in-law, 87, suffers from osteoarthritis that is sometimes very painful and recently started taking a micronized/"nanotized?" ("for better absorption") form of curcumin. Your posts on nanoparticles and oxalates both have me worrying that this is going to do her more harm than good.
What is your opinion?
Thank you for all the work you put into your website; it's such a great resource.
Just wanted to say I discovered your videos about a year ago, and they have really been educational! You deliver the right amount of info in language we can understand without dumbing it down. I think of your work as a blessing from God. People often ask me how I know so much about nutrition and its impact on health–I tell them about your work and website. Thanks!!!
Turmeric has been shown to effectively block nitrosation (the formation of reactive nitrogen species>>>cancer-causing nitrosamines). I swallow my turmeric together with my wakame, which despite my soaking in water, still might contain some salt. The good news is that all "brown" seaweeds contain phlorotannins which have been shown to effectively block carbonylation (the formation of reactive carbonyl species>>>the formation of dietary advanced glycation endproducts):
The good news is that vegans have a much lower risk of developing kidney stones than meat lovers. This despite the fact that an extremely wide variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and berries are moderately high in oxalic acid>>oxalates. Meats tend to be low in oxalic acid and oxalates. Like phytate, oxalic acid is a beneficial antioxidant that, in addition to partly blocking the harm from free radicals, will bind to toxic heavy metals and help our bodies to excrete them:
Conclusion: Don't worry about oxalic acid or oxalates unless you are genetically predisposed to developing kidney stones or have already developed them.
Seen quite a few articles that say tumeric should be combined with black pepper to increase absorption into the blood. Without it they say absorption is very poor. Is this true?
Do the oxalates chelating effects of 1 teaspoon turmeric a day prevent magnesium supplement absorption? Is the chelation in the gut or in the blood, or in both?
I was basically bummed out after reading your article on tumeric. I just recently found out if I take 2 caps of Organic India tumeric twice pet day that it woks like magic to stop my stiffness and soreness. If I take any less than that it doesn't seem to help. Their recommend dosage is 2 to 3 caps per day. Shouldn't thy know about the oxalate problem? What about all the peope in India that eat large quantities of it? Please any input you can give me on this will be greatly appreciated.
This is very discerning, can't take cinnamon or turmeric now, really?
Steve, I think Dr. Greger is saying we should just be careful not to exceed 1 teaspoon of turmeric a day. Since cinnamon has only 10% soluble oxalates compared to turmeric's 90%, we can probably eat more than a teaspoon of it a day, but I'm not sure about the exact quantity.
I know, I have an odd craving for turmeric powder too.
Sunny, how much is in 2 caps of your turmeric? It might be less than the 1 teaspoon a day that Dr. Greger recommends.
