Vice President Biden tells Yanukovich of concern over Ukraine election
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden voiced concerns about Ukraine's electoral process when speaking with the country's president, Viktor Yanukovich, on Tuesday, the White House said.
Yanukovich, who is facing an impeachment threat after Ukraine's disputed October 28 election, had sent a congratulatory message after Biden and President Barack Obama won re-election last week, according to the White House. Biden then spoke with Yanukovich on Tuesday.
"Noting the strong interest of the United States in enhancing its relationship with Ukraine, the Vice President voiced concerns over Ukraine's recent parliamentary elections," according to the statement summarizing the call. "He also urged Ukraine to live up to its democratic commitments and end selective prosecutions."
On Monday Ukraine's three major opposition parties threatened the president of the former Soviet republic with impeachment.
The European Union has criticized Ukraine's prosecution of opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, calling her case an example of selective justice. The EU has also raised concerns about vote counting in the October parliamentary election that reinstated control over parliament for Yanukovich's Party of the Regions.
Yanukovich has shrugged off international criticism of the election, which opposition politicians say involved vote-rigging.
(Reporting By Lisa Lambert; Editing by Eric Walsh)
Concern over Ukraine elections only occurring now? Where has the United States been since the fraudulent "collapse" of the USSR, as the Ukrainian "electorate" (and Russian "electorate") have only been electing for president Soviet era Communist Party Quislings? Such Quislings, if the collapse of the USSR were legitimate and not a strategic ruse, couldn't get elected dog catcher let alone president. Such persons would have been shunned socially, or in the case of Putin and Yeltsin, arrested immediately after the "collapse" of the USSR in the interests of national security.
Take a look at whom the "freed" Ukrainians and Russians "elected" president since the "collapse" of the USSR:
Ukrainian presidents since the "collapse" of the USSR:
Leonid Makarovych Kravchuk, December 5, 1991 – July 19, 1994, joined Ukraine Communist Party in 1958.
Leonid Danylovych Kuchma, July 19, 1994 – January 23, 2005, Communist, 1960.
Viktor Andriyovych Yushchenko, January 23, 2005 – February 25, 2010, Communist, 1980.
Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych, February 25, 2010 – Present, Communist, 1980.
Russian presidents since the "collapse" of the USSR:
Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin – July 10, 1991 – December 31, 1999 – Communist.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin – 31 December 1999 – 7 May 2000 (Acting) and May 7, 2000 – May 7, 2008 – Communist.
Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev – May 7, 2008 – May 7, 2012, during his studies at the University he joined the Communist Party.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin – May 7, 2012 – Present, Communist.
All Soviet era Communist Party member Quislings! Not only that, but Lenin's tomb still resides in Red Square! It was never destroyed, as was the Berlin Wall. Imagine that, the man responsible for the persecution of the 90%+ of Russians who never were Communist Party members still exists! Can you imagine the newly freed American colonists allowing statues of George III to still stand in the newly freed America? Or, can you imagine Americans after the American revolution was won electing for governor of the 13 new states persons who were Loyalists during the American revolution? Of course those inexplicable behaviors never occurred in America after the defeat of the British, yet the "electorates" of the "former" USSR are the FIRST in recorded history to place back in power those who persecuted them for 74 years!
Ladies and gentlemen, can it be any clearer that the "collapse" of the USSR was a strategic ruse, as will be the upcoming "collapse" of the Chinese Communist government?

No, I am not referring to the stock market, to chicken stock or whatever else you may have been thinking. This… was fun. We had a fancy dress event for work a few years back and the theme was absolutely wonderful. We had a medieval theme. Something we could really have fun with. Something with options. I immediately had the idea of dressing up as a medieval captive. To make the stocks however would be challenging at best. I had no idea where to begin.
I chatted with my husband regarding making it work, but he also could not come up with any ideas on how to make the stocks look real, or even what to use. At work, I chatted with a trusted colleague (fancy dress ideas are confidential and serious business you know!) who immediately said I should use foamalite. Well, the flashing bulb above my head suddenly shone brightly. He flicked on the switch. I went digging through the disposal items in our basement and found a heap of foamalite that would work quite nicely.
Since the foamalite was mostly strips, blocks and smaller pieces. I had to somehow get the things to stick together. Needless to say… glue did nothing! I used packaging tape (ah the wonderful inventions of modern times) to keep the pieces together. Once I had two blocks of appropriate size, I cut out the head and arm pieces. I once again sealed the open bits with tape.
I was left with an ugly piece of taped together foamalite. Oh well, a good starting point at least. I bought a self adhesive plastic coated roll of wood coloured paper and wrapped the foamalite. I was left with edges that simply wouldn't look authentic. I used a large strip over those edges and made several cuts to glue down. I used velcro to keep the edges together; which had the added benefit of making removal easy.
The end result was an authentic looking medieval stock. The feedback on it was overwhelming. People loved it and my husband, Waldo, got into the spirit by dressing as a medieval executioner, with me as his prisoner. Tell me you see the endless options here?
It was remarkably easy to put together and today, I refuse to part with it.

I have been subscribing to Wild West magazine for over 10 years. Love it. I am always learning something new.
I love Wild West magazine because it has articles about people and stories about people we have heard about all our lives. And this magazine tells you the truth about what happened. One magazine I get that I want to read right away.
I have read many of the 'Old West' style magazines over the years, but I have found Wild West magazine outshines them all! The articles are well written, easy to read and true! I have read many past issues (from the very beginning!) and have learned many things- even about the local history in my own state. My family lived the history, as yours did, and it is great we can read about what they experienced in the old west. This magazine brings the west back to life with little-known stories of how the people thought,worked and lived. It is a window back to our past here in the West. Let us never forget how we came to be.
I just received my first issue of WILD WEST magazine, and I LOVE it. Tho I like all U.S. History, I especially love to read and learn about our History west of the Mississippi River during the 19th century. And get fact from fiction on the people who lived there. The Indians and what they had to endure and suffer (and still do). The lawmen who laid their lives on the line to bring peace to this area of the country. Which is so expansive in size. The brave people who dared to give up everything to travel across this dangerous, unchartered territory looking for a new life, and suffered so much as they journeyed and settled this part of our beautiful country. Even today this very part of our country and the people there are so different than those who live East of the 'Big River'. I will look forward to each magazine I get to see what Wild West is going to teach me next. I grew up during the Silver Screen Cowboy's Era. And I've learned that what Hollywood portrayed in the Movies, is far from the actual truth.
I intend to renew my subscription to Wild West magazine today.
For western fans Wild West magazine is a great magazine. I wish it was a monthly magazine instead of bi-monthly as I really enjoy it.
Wild West has wonderful articles but many are too short and not enough. I wish for longer articles and many more in each issue.
This is a great magazine. The articles are always interesting and informative. I only wish there were more articles and it would become a monthly.

3.59/5 rDev -1.1%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
12 oz bottle poured into an Achel Trappist glass (since there is a picture of a Trappist looking glass on the label). Per the label, "malt beverage brewed with brown sugar, raisin juice, molasses, cardamom and orange peel and aged in wine casks. I'm expecting some kind of BSDish type thing.
Appearance: Poured straight down the middle produced a finger of dark khaki head. Black body with brown highlights. Nice lacing with a persistent ring of head.
Aroma: Up front a huge note of roasted, dark barley. Like a nutty chocolate. Muddled notes of stone fruit, maybe some citrus, and brown sugar in the middle. Some grassy hops in the finish. The highlight here are the porteresque notes of roasted malts with that hoppy finish. No wine barrel, and some fruity, sweet confusion in the middle.
Taste: Starts with the nice roasted chocolaty malts. Some raw oak and vanilla in the middle. Finishes with a pleasant hoppy bite. There is some kind of raisiny, fruity thing in the finish, but you have to look for it. Leaves you wanting something more.
Mouthfeel: Thin/medium mouthfeel. Smooth. Slightly drying. Warming on the finish.
Overall: I mean, it's a solid porter type beer, but it's hard to get any of the adjuncts mentioned on the label. Was there like one wine barrel used in the final blend? I'm not sure a porter was the best style of beer in which to use some of the adjuncts mentioned. It's a fun idea, but I think this recipe could use some work. No Belgian yeast was detected. I think the recipe might have changed from what is in the description on this page.
*At a little bit below room temp more of the brown sugar, raisins, and barrel came out. Drink this at cellar temp.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Sampling right now on 1/12/14. Had this once before over a year ago. From a local brewery that is less than 15 miles form the house. Bottle chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooler and poured into a pilsner 'pool ball' glass-Black 8 ball. LOTS of sediment left in the bottom of the bottle when poured.
Pours actually a pitch black in color with a very thin beige head. Some streaky lacing is seen with each sip. The aroma is complex with dark roasted malts, dark fruit with a hint of molasses. Like a mix between a Stout & a Porter. Lots going on with the taste and YOU don't taste the higher alcohol content at all. I am sure this one would sneak up on you fast if you had a few of these. Hard to describe the taste BUT is pleasant. Actually goes down easy with no harsh or bitter aftertaste.

3.6/5 rDev -0.8%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Pours a coffee brown color with a modest but splashy beige head that leaves a surprising amount of lacing
Smell: Beefy and vinous, with roasted meat, red wine grapes, citrus peel and herbal elements
Taste: Vinous at the outset, with red wine grapes and citrus peel flavors jutting forward; a growing sourness develops, in the middle, along with a beefy Bovril aspect; quite sour, in the finish, too
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation; puckery
Overall: I have cellared this bottle for several years and I am guessing that the sourness may not be what was intended here; still, I find that the flavors I am detecting tend to clash rather than complement one another

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
These teachers think they are the "epitome" of teachers. Well, let's just say that they should each be given watches, courses of proper behavior/etiquette (how to properly "speak" to parents" - yes - they are not 'Gods') and be brought a little back down to Earth when they are hired. I sent one polite, e-mail to a 10-th grade teacher, questioning an "incomplete" grade that my daughter had on her on-line grade-book for THREE months - just trying to see if the assignment was turned in, etc., and I was bludgeoned with "Westlake handbook policy".....That "incomplete" grades were gives THREE days to make up, and then they were turned to "ZEROS".. Why, I ask, did this specific teacher not post this ZERO and lead my daughter to believe that she could still make up this grade???? POOR, POOR, POOR example and time management on the teacher's part. Plus, the teacher has ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to BLAST the parent via e-mail for politely voicing concern! This school shows EXTREMELY inconsistent enforcement of policies and educational principals. I made a horrible, horrible mistake ever sending my child here. My money could have been better spent by being donated to the local penitentiary!
The school is still struggling with implementing 504 and Special Education. It is a constant battle for parents to get the school to follow federal and state laws.
Westlake Academy is obviously very academically rigorous, which isn't always a good thing. Because the classes are so small; students are very competitive. There were some wonderful teachers in the past, who were constantly helping troubled students, but most of them have left the school. Some teachers that remain are neglecting these students, and they just keep getting further and further left behind till the end of the year when its almost impossible to help them out. The teachers always talk about how great students need to be if they want to succeed, in a way that can be a real self-esteem issue for most kids. If a student is less academically driven or committed then the other students, they will have a hard time. This school has no focus at all on the arts, and in my opinion, has a very close minded idea of a "well-rounded student" in which they pride themselves on creating. This school is a great idea for those who top their class, and are constantly devoting their time to work. But for the student who doesn't commit themselves to toping their class, this is not the best idea. Those students will just be neglected and keep falling behind.
The post from December 8th, 2012 noting AP curriculum is incorrect. While the Diploma Program (DP) is the curriculum of instruction, AP curriculum is supported indirectly where the same content overlaps with the DP. Students may choose to take any AP test on campus. Dr. Clint Calzini Secondary Principal
There are some wonderful dedicated teachers, however, in recent years a high turnover of faculty, administration,as well as MYP/DP coordinators. Class sizes are small, which is ideal for learning environment, but not a welcoming arena for students who are new to the school. IB curriculum is exceptional especially the DP program. The school is not for everyone, especially for children who do not have a strong personality. Curriculum is competitive to neighboring school districts, be aware that Westlake is focusing only on IB curriculum, no longer supporting AP curriculum or testing, which is a disadvantage to the graduates as many of the university's offer very limited credit for IB classes and diplomas.
As a recent graduate of Westlake Academy I can say many things. The academic strength of the institution is high, but as with any school, what you get is equivalent to what you put in. The teachers care more than anything in the world, which is great. Yet, the school does little in regards to peer bullying and caters greatly towards those without learning disabilities. A beautiful school with faculty that really care, but with students who would rather pave their way to a bright future than to lifelong friendships or balanced lifestyles. If I did it again, I wouldn't go back. Surrounding schools have on par academic programs, stronger arts programs, and the possibilities of having a class size greater than 28. A good place for those who don't have trouble in academia, but not for those who wish to have a diverse group of friends.
This is my 8th year at Westlake Academy and I love it here! The faculty is amazing and the care about each student and their learning. They guide you at your own pace of learning and you are taught directly from the IB curriculum. Students fit in with each other and you get to know everyone in the entire school. I really recommend this school to everyone because of the faculty, students, IB curriculum and it is an amazing school!!
Appalled that an adult would use this board to "name" a specific teacher (who hasn't been at the school for over a year) and call them out. I had the same teacher for two different children and found her to be nothing like was mentioned in the disparaging review below. Sounds more like a personal attack than a "review". Our children have been at WA for 7 years. We find it to be challenging and they are learning to be well rounded students. They are taught to be good citizens and learning much more than simply math, reading and science. Each year this young school improves and there are plenty of opportunities for parents to get involved and be active in their children's education. There are negative people wherever you choose. Pick the school that works for your child and one which WANTS you, the parent, to be involved.
All I have to say are good things about the school. I feel my daughter is now getting a better education in terms of strong and solid curriculum. I feel she's going to be prepared to compete with Other students in college and will be better prepared. I love that it's small and students have this ambiance of small community and fellowship. I specially enjoy the topics they are discussing in world history. I feel that the school is really preparing them to be international citizens. An this is the least I expect for my child. I am bilingual and my daughter is trilingual . There's do much more you expect from your kids and it's our duty to offer them the very best. This is why Im proud to say that she's a student at Westlake academy !
Westlake's second graduating class (May 2011) of 32 seniors received over $4.5 million in scholarships. The Academy is rated EXEMPLARY again this year. The teachers are invested in their careers. Parents are invested--they helped contribute over $500,000 this year. What's not to love??
Confused re: low performance comments. The school repeatedly attains exemplary status, regardless of the fact that the focus is not on teaching to the TAKS. Recently, last year's first senior class returned for a visit and reported that they have had an easy transition to college life and academics, despite the fact that many of them are enrolled in challenging &/or honors college programs. That alone has sold me on our decision to send our child to WA. He has been there 2 yrs, & the level of work to which he has been exposed (in primary) has been much more complex and cognitively challenging than that of his same grade peers in the local "exemplary" public elementary. I don't disagree that some amount of parental involvement is required for success in this setting, but, then again, why have children if you're not willing or able to spend time them, helping with schoolwork or otherwise??
Our son attended school here for one year, and after a disappointing year, we decided to leave. MANY other students and families have also recently left the school. Although we believe firmly in the school's mission statement and are impressed with the IB program, their execution of the program is abysmal. The school is run by a Board and Town CEO with absolutely no background in education, changes are made seemingly at a whim, turnover of teachers and administrative staff is high, and a small group of wealthy parents enjoys a disproportionate amount of influence over decision-makers. Our son actually did well at Westlake, but the lack of structure, proper supervision, and truly rigorous academic instruction led us back to our local public school in Carroll ISD.
My son attended a private K-12 school in the Northeast, so when we learned that we were moving to TX, we had high expectations for his new school. Westlake Academy has not disappointed! We sought WA out specifically for the IB curriculum offered K-12 (our old school was IB for 11th and 12th only). WA is a place where students learn to understand, respect and appreciate their own and other world cultures, where they are taught to take responsibility for their own learning, and where critical thinking and interdisciplinary work is the norm. I've loved the creativity and depth of my son's projects and assignments (and he's really enjoyed them, too!). Yes, the curriculum is rigorous. But how refreshing to heighten expectations about student potential and achievement, see these kids meet every challenge...then show you how high the bar really can go? That's why our son is at WA.
Great school! Great faculty and wonderful students. The curriculum is challenging because it is not taken straight from a textbook. Students are pushed to use their own minds rather than memorizing from boring textbooks. Heavy focus on critical thinking and community/world responsibility.
If you can even get in this school, you'll see that children who lack self-motivation will probably have difficulty here. This school is really effective for more advanced learners who are self-motivated, but children whose parents cannot be as involved in their lives tend to struggle in such a demanding academic atmosphere that requires personal responsibility. We were forced to remove our children because typical area public schools will cater more to students who need more external motivation. I wouldn't recommend this school for 'average' students or parents who do not have time to work with their children at home. This type of school was too much of a committment for my family because my job requires me to spend much time out of town and my children are not as self motivated as most of WA students.
We have been at Westlake Academy from the very beginning and have never second guessed our initial decision to enroll our children in the IB program. We have watched them gain confidence and knowledge that is not offered by any other private or public school in our area. While the school has undergone expected growth and changes it has never failed to give our children everything that has been promised. I have no doubt that they have become lifelong learners, with a respect and understanding of diversity that many of us may never grasp. Thank you to the original school Founders, the ongoing support of positive parents, the students of Westlake Academy, who along with phenomenal teachers make this school so very special and a true honor to be a part of.
Where did they get this Head of School? He is the most disrespectful and rude person in the world! He treats teachers, parents and sometimes students as if they were making him a favor by paying attention to them. An open and safe communication style is necessary. It is a such a great school that it is a shame that he is creating such a stressful environment.
After extensive research, we've gladly committed our children's education to the IB concept at Westlake Academy. If an Exemplary rating on the TEKS is mediocre, not to mention PSAT scores well above national averages, & letters arriving daily from highly reputed universities, we'll stay right where we are. WA continues to grow, improve & inspire! The IB concept is not only wonderful, it works & is respected the world over. Although some haven't found WA to be the best fit, many Westlake families remain in this school of 420+ students (K-11 currently) situated in this little town of only 700 residents. And, the numbers are growing. Westlake citizens should be PROUD of the fact that their leaders had the foresight to start this IB school... school & city leaders from all over the state & nation have visited the campus in hopes of duplicating these efforts. It's a terrific education!
Engage in extensive research before you commit your child s future to Westlake Academy. Absence of leadership, no curriculum, ill-prepared teachers, no text books, and lack of funding contribute to the school s mediocre performance. The IB is wonderful in concept; however, it is unrecognizable at WA. Sadly, the most outstanding feature of the academy is the pastoral setting. The school was built primarily for the residents of Westlake, but only a handful of families remain. The majority have moved on to superior public & private schools in the area. Even school board members have removed their children from this school. That fact alone should make you think twice before enrolling. Students who left Westlake have had to do extensive remedial work to catch up with their peers.

Euotopia is a retro 2D multiplayer online MMORPG inspired by the early Ultimas, Nethack, Diablo, gold-box AD&D, Magic Candle, etc.
Euotopia lies somewhere between the realms of action RPGs, MMORPGs, MUDs and roguelikes. It began as a multiplayer roguelike, morphed into a multiplayer Ultima-like, and 10 years later is now a fully fledged virtual world with its own rich history.
- Old-school tile-based 2D multiplayer RPG action
- Dungeon bashing - with a party or solo
- Fantastic sense of community
- Player vs player combat (PvP)
- Rare & magic item collecting & hoarding
- 100+ quests to complete
- Crafting & miscellaneous skills
- Player housing and pets
- Optional Permanent Death server
- It is (and always will be) free to play!
A note on Free to Play vs Pay to Win
While Euotopia is Free to Play, and though you can buy ingame items and things with real money, Euotopia is most definitely not Pay to Win. Your characters can exist perfectly happily, and even be the best, without you ever spending a cent.
Spending money on Euotopia supports its continued development however, and is not discouraged. If you like it and stick around, please buy some adamantium coins and spend them at the Cash Shoppe.

We have a seasonal site at this campground. We came across this campground after looking at about 25-30 others. Nothing could compare. As soon as we pulled in, we knew it was like no other. This place is so clean, spacious wooded sites, well maintained and up-grades galore. They have just paved all of the roads, concreted most of the transiet sites and put new cabins in. The staff are the nicest people that you will come across. The prices are a little on the high side, but we dont mind. You get what you pay for. I would ( and do ) recommend this campground to anyone.

Wrong Size I ordered a 32/36 in this jean, but when the jeans arrived they were a 31/36.We did not return the jeans because it would have been a hassle. This is twice this has happened on wrong sizing on a pair of jeans I have ordered from Buckle. September 25, 2012
Great Fit I have he hardest time finding jeans that aren't too snug, baggy or look like a Jersey Sore starter kit and these were the pefect choice. January 17, 2012
Jeans LOOKED great.. These jeans were great right out of the package. However the first time my son wore them, a side seam ripped. I order online because the nearest big town is over an hour away that has a Buckle. I weighed on wether to return them or not but didn't think it was worth the hassle. Luckily I sew a bit and was able to fix them. I just think that if I am going to pay that much for jeans there shouldn't be a need to "fix" them! December 20, 2011

Does anyone take a lot of supplements?
I went to BodyLogicMD to be tested for hormone levels and to hopefully get bio identical hormones. It was a great experience, the doctor went over my test results thoroughly. Come to find out my estrogen is just a little depleted, but my testosterone is extremely low. I didn't even know women really needed testosterone! :dunno:
Anyway, she's setting me up with some bio identical creams but she also wants me to take a bunch of supplements and I've never taken a bunch of this stuff. Co Q10 because I take Pravastatin OrthoMega (brand of fish oil) D3 10,000 units (I was very, very low, my GP recommended this too) K Pax Pro Probiotic - multiple bacteria, 20 billion colony count plus a good multi-vit. All of these are pretty pricey. So what I want to know is, do any of you take a lot of supplements and do you notice that they make a difference in the way you feel? |
I take
D3: I currently take 10,000 IU daily from NutriGold, and after several years, my D levels are within range for more than two months in a row! I have taken everything from 100,000 IU weekly, to 5,000 IU daily, and everything in between. This is finally working. Fish Oil (I take a soy-free gelcap from Finest Natural that has 600mg of EPA+DHA. Soy-free fish oil is extremely hard to find, but important for me. If you see anything that says tocopherols, that's soy.) I take a soy-free probiotic that has ten lines and fifty billion live colonies. I don't always, but because I've been on 5 rounds of antibiotics, I'm taking them to restore some of my gut flora. I take a daily folic acid that was prescribed, because mine is low. I self-inject 1mL of B12 weekly. I'm about to start an 8-week milk thistle regimen, because my liver enzymes were extremely high, likely due to a mix of my MS meds and the antibiotics I have had to take. I've heard good things about CoQ10, and my GP has recommended it, but I'm not taking it yet. I am taking enough! :stars: |
Ntombi, I know what you mean about taking so many pills. I already take 5 prescription pills in the morning and 3 at night so I'm not really excited about taking lots of other pills.
One other thing she insists upon is a very strict low carbohydrate diet! I told her I was already on low carb, but she told me I'm still getting too many carbs (my weight's been stalled for 9 months) and recommended a diet very much like Atkins induction! She suggested I have a shake called Glycemic Foundation for a meal or snack every day to help keep my blood sugar steady. Oh, and exercise. I'm supposed to exercise. Yuck! :D |
fourteen pills per day here, and I'm about to add nine more, with the milk thistle. :(
Shop around and compare notes with others here on good brands. I like Now brand and Source Naturals. I get all my supplements from Amazon at pretty good prices. Probiotics are a YMMV type thing. I have been on the really expensive ones and the Digestive Pearls are what makes the difference for me. I get them cheap from Amazon also.
Vit E
Vit D3 Vit C with Bioflavanoids Krill Oil |
I am suppose to take a multi vitamin, calcium, and vitamin D but taking them causes severe stomach pains and nausea. Anyone have an idea for me? I've tried taking them with food but it doesn't help.
So you could try checking the zinc and iron content, and also taking them after a large meal to see how you do. You can also get grinding, unpleasant stomach pains from taking too many tabletted supplements, it feels like there's ground glass in your stomach. Is that what it feels like? Maybe you're having a hard time digesting the particular kind you take, but a different version might be fine. Another tip is to look for multivitamins that are divided into 2-3 daily doses, which are easier on your system, plus it just makes sense to space your intake throughout the day, rather than trying to get a day's worth of everything in one dose. I had always taken a ton of supplements, and I don't think you can be aware of the benefits unless you have a baseline of not taking them for comparison. So in my infinite wisdom, :down: having slacked off completely over the last couple of years, I'm now pretty sure I was benefitting hugely. Ugh. |
Grey- I take 14 pills a day. The Thyroid and Progesterone are prescription. My 80 year old mom lives with us and is not on any prescriptions meds but does take most of the supplements that DH and I do. DH does fine on cheap $3 Magnesium, Mom does the Glycinate and I do the Magnesium Oil. I order the D3 with Olive Oil but you can find it cheaper if you look around and catch it on sale. The Magnesium Oil lasts a very long time. I use 5 sprays on each side of my body everyday after shower. It has also gotten rid of some bad foot cramps when I needed it. Its pretty amazing stuff.
I budget $50-$70 a month for supplements since there are 3 of us taking them. The only expensive one is the Cortosol Manager. DH is the only one taking it and he tried to quit but said it did make a huge difference. He is a night worker and it does help with his sleep. I put together a list below so that you can see what we order and the prices. I try to vary my foods and get what I need from them but this list is what I have come up for ME after lots of research and being diagnosed with low D3 and B12. Cathy- I agree with Kiwi about the Iron and Zinc. They both make me sick. The COQ10 did at first also. We are on 50mg for awhile and trying to work up to 100. I used to take vitamins right after I ate. I find that I do better if I eat a little, then take them and finish my meal. Mom says that D3 makes her sick. She has been breaking one pill open and applying to her skin daily. Not sure if it is working, we will find out soon with blood work. Name Brand Price Cortosol Manager Integrative 40.37 Vit. D3 5,000 NOW 13.18 Magesium Oil Dr. Hendell 7.95 B-12 Methylcobalamin Natural Factors 12.72 Digestive Pearls Enzmatic 16.37 Astaxanthin Source Naturals 18.50 Krill Oil NOW 17.84 Beta Glucan NOW 7.71 Magnesium Glycinate Solaray 9.62 K-2 NOW 9.43 CO Q10 with Selenium NOW 15.56 |
Thanks y'all. Lots of good information here.
And I thought I took a lot of pills! |
I take a lot. Don't know if they help me FEEL better, but many of my blood test values are way out of the normal range when I don't, and theoretically that can lead to bigger problems.
I take quite a few and yes, I feel improved because of them...
5-HTP, L-theanine, and GABA: seem to help with my urges to binge, and these are new supplements to me but I'm so impressed Silica and biotin: hair and nails Olive leaf: blood sugar, blood pressure, anti-candida, and just general overall health benefits - there are quite a few Cinnamon: blood sugar, gut health, immune system Calcium-magnesium-zinc supplement along with D3 and K2 - for bones and cardio health, immune system, and general health Melatonin: for sleep as well as the antioxidant benefits |

[JURIST] A Cambodian cabinet minister has said that the Cambodian government could "terminate" the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) [official website; JURIST news archive] if it "illegally" attempts to charge former King Norodom Sihanouk [official website; BBC News profile] with crimes committed during the Communist Khmer Rouge's control of Democratic Kampuchea [BBC News backgrounder] from 1975-79, according to Cambodia Daily [media website] Monday. Sihanouk was the symbolic head of state for the regime of Pol Pot until he was forced out of office in 1976. Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said that because the ECCC operates under Cambodian law [text as amended 2005, PDF], it may be disbanded if it attempts to violate the immunity granted to Norodom Sihanouk by Article 7, Paragraph 3 of the Cambodian constitution [text]. The now-retired king resumed office again in 1993 and then stepped down in 2004 in favor of his son; he has not been questioned or investigated by the ECCC, but last month a letter from the US-based rights group Cambodian Action Committee for Justice and Equality called for Sihanouk's immunity to be stripped so that he could be charged. The government immediately issued a statement rejecting the idea [People's Daily Online report], emphasizing that the issue was "clearly and definitively excluded at the time of the former king's retirement." The People's Daily has more. The UN-backed ECCC was established in 2001 to investigate and try those responsible for the Cambodian genocide that occurred between 1975-1979 and resulted in the deaths of approximately one-third of the Cambodian population. To date, no top Khmer Rouge officials have faced trial. Last month, the ECCC brought its first charges against Kaing Khek Iev [TrialWatch profile; JURIST report], better known as "Duch", who was in charge of the notorious S-21 prison in Phnom Penh.
[JURIST] Death sentences [JURIST news archive] handed down by Chinese courts were at a ten-year low in 2006 and the trend continues in 2007, according to a Chinese Supreme Court justice quoted by state media Monday. In response to wrongful convictions and international criticism, China implemented reforms [JURIST report] at the beginning of this year requiring that all death sentences be approved [JURIST report] by the Supreme People's Court [official website]. High court vice-president Jiang Xingchang [official profile] said Monday in Outlook Weekly that fewer people were sentenced to death in 2006 than at any point in the previous decade, and that the reforms have extended the declining numbers into 2007. He offered no statistics but stated that "a relatively large proportion" of death penalty cases authorized by provincial courts were not approved when reviewed by the Supreme People's Court. Reuters has more.In April, Amnesty International reported [press release] that China continues to lead the world in executions, with 7,000 to 8,000 people believed to have been executed in 2006. In June, Chinese state media reported that during the first five months of 2007, the number of death sentences handed out in cases of first instance dropped approximately 10 percent from the same time last year. In July, the Supreme Court said that guidelines for imposing the death penalty would be standardized [JURIST report]. Last month, a Chinese Communist Party spokesperson defended the use of the death penalty [JURIST report] in political and economic corruption cases, saying it was both appropriate and effective.
[JURIST] A Pakistani lawyers group Sunday announced a campaign to defeat an expected reelection bid by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf [BBC profile]. Speaking at a conference of the National Action Committee in Islamabad, Pakistani Supreme Court Bar Association president Munir Malik outlined the group's goal to secure Musharraf's resignation and to restore the 1973 Constitution [text]. Protest rallies set for September 6, already observed nationwide as Defense of Pakistan Day, will mark the beginning of what he called "phase 2" of the lawyers' campaign for nationwide legal reform. Dawn has local coverage.Earlier this year, Pakistani lawyers led a four-month campaign to reinstate suspended Pakistan Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry [official website; JURIST news archive] after Musharraf suspended him in March for alleged judicial misconduct. Many lawyers and opposition leaders alleged that the suspension was an indirect bid by Musharraf to forestall any legal challenges if Musharraf sought to extend his eight-year rule by another five years later this year. Chaudhry was reinstated in July, with all charges of misconduct [JURIST reports] dismissed.
[JURIST] The Bangkok Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant Monday for former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] and his wife Pojamarn on charges of stock trading violations. Thaksin has been living in exile since a bloodless military coup [JURIST report] removed him from office last September. He has refused to return to Thailand to face charges because he does not expect to receive a fair trial [JURIST report]. In August, a Thai court issued arrest warrants [JURIST report] for the couple for "evading prosecution." Thaksin and Pojamarn have been accused of abuse of power for personal gain [JURIST report], conflict of interest violations, and dereliction of duty for personal gain in charges stemming from a 2003 land purchase by Pojamarn from the government-directed Financial Institutions Development Fund [official website]. Government authorities have not decided whether to seek Thaksin and Pojarmarn's formal extradition from the United Kingdom. Prior to serving as PM, Thaksin made a fortune in the telecommunications industry. AP has more.
[JURIST] Bangladeshi officials on Monday arrested former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia [UN profile] and her son on corruption and misuse of power charges, one day after another ex-PM was charged with taking bribes [JURIST report]. Zia, who was in power until last October, is accused of failing to follow standard procedures in awarding a construction contract to a local company for two cargo terminals. Her son is accused of influencing her to award the contract. She has denied all charges and calls the arrest an attempt to tarnish her family's legacy.The new interim government has arrested over 150 high-profile citizens since declaring a state of emergency [JURIST report] in January due to concerns that fraud would ruin national elections scheduled for January 22. Zia's rival, former PM Sheikh Hasina Wajed [party profile; JURIST news archive] has been charged by Bangladesh's anti-corruption commission [governing statute, PDF] with six counts of murder, corruption, and most recently, bribery [JURIST reports].
[JURIST] Iranian-American scholar Haleh Esfandiari [WWC profile; JURIST news archive], who was released on bail [JURIST report] from Iranian custody in August, obtained a passport from Tehran and left Iran Sunday night for an unknown destination, according to her lawyer. Esfandiari, an American citizen, is the director of the Middle East program at the US-based Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Her lawyer said last week that the Iranian government still has charges pending against her [JURIST report]. AP has more. Esfandiari was detained in May [WWC timeline, DOC; WWC materials] and is accused of being involved in an alleged plot "against the sovereignty of the country." Still in custody is Open Society Institute consultant Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh [OSI press release]. Prosecutors said last month that they have completed their investigation [JURIST report] into the two detainees. Iranian 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi accused the Iranian government of interfering in judicial affairs to prevent Esfandiari's release [JURIST report] and of denying lawyers access to Esfandiari [JURIST report].

Early Life
Athlete. Born Frank Edwin McGraw Jr. on Aug. 30, 1944, in Martinez, California. McGraw was nicknamed "Tug" by his mother, Mable McKenna, because of his over-aggressive style of breast-feeding as a baby. The nickname stuck with the youngster for the rest of his life. Tug McGraw grew up in the working-class San Francisco Bay Area suburbs of Martinez and Vallejo, where he was both a baseball and football standout in high school and junior college. He signed on with the Mets in 1964, when he was 19 years old.
After just one year pitching in the minor leagues for Mets affiliates in rookie and single-A ball, McGraw made the big league club out of spring training in 1965. He made his debut as a relief pitcher but soon joined the Mets' starting rotation, showing some promise but finishing the season with a disappointing 2-7 record.Over the next few years, McGraw did not appear to be marching down the traditional path toward sports superstardom. He fulfilled his Vietnam-era military service obligation by enlisting as a reserve rifleman in the United States Marine Corps. McGraw never served overseas, but underwent extensive military training over the course of his six-year reserve commitment.
Mets Championship
Meanwhile, his baseball career began to stagnate. The Mets, a pitiable outfit since their debut as an expansion team in 1962, still weren't very good. McGraw struggled to pitch a 2-9 record in his 1966 sophomore campaign. Early in the 1967 season, McGraw was sent down to the minors, a tough blow for a pitcher who had jumped straight past double-A and triple-A ball in his initial rise to the majors. After laboring for two years with the Jacksonville Suns in Florida, McGraw won a call-up back to the Mets in 1969, joining the team's relief rotation just in time to play a bit part in one of the most remarkable seasons in major league history.
When those "Amazin' Mets" surged into first place in the National League East in September 1969, it was a big deal; it was literally the first time in the franchise's short, and previously rather pathetic, history that the Mets had ever led the standings. The team won 39 of its final 50 regular-season games, and carried that momentum into the playoffs, knocking off the Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles to secure the Mets' first-ever world championship. Pitching middle relief, McGraw made just one appearance in those playoffs, earning no decision in a win over the Braves in the National League Championship.
Baseball Superstar
Over the next few years, though, McGraw's pitching grew stronger and he became one of the Mets' most important players as a dominant closer.

performance program for use by all ordering
entities per Texas Government Code, Title 10,
Subtitle D, Section 2155.077. The Vendor
Performance and Debarment Program relies on the
ordering entity's participation in gathering
information on vendor performance. Ordering
Entities shall report vendor performance on
purchases over $25,000 from contracts
administered by the commission or any other
purchase over $25,000 made through delegated
authority granted by CPA (TAC 20.108). Agencies
are additionally encouraged to report vendor
performance on purchases under $25,000.
Vendor Performance shall be reported through the CPA Vendor Performance Tracking System. The purpose of the Vendor Performance Tracking System is to:
- Identify vendors that have exceptional performance.
- Aid purchasers in making a best value determination based on vendor past performance.
- Protect the state from vendors with unethical business practices.
- Provide performance scores in four measurable categories for the CMBL vendors.
- Track vendor performance for delegated and exempt purchases.

We Don't Always Get the War We Want
It's four in the morning on my 38th birthday, and I am staring up at the thatched roof of a small jungle clinic in Karen State of eastern Burma, the home of the world's longest-running armed conflict—a 63-year civil war between the Burmese army and the ethnic Karen people.
Ghosts of the Jungle
Burma's Karen National Liberation Army is the most effective guerrilla fighting force active today. They usually don't take too kindly to outsiders, especially those with cameras, but somehow I—a curious Canadian photographer—managed to embed with the KNLA's Special Forces divisi…

Dietary Supplement
500 mg Omega-3 Krill Oil
MegaRed® Extra Strength 500-Milligram Omega-3 Krill Oil provides an optimal combination of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin to support heart health.*
Supports Cardiovascular Health with Omega-3 Fatty Acids*MegaRed contains oil from 100 percent pure Antarctic krill, tiny crustaceans that thrive in the pristine waters of the Antarctic Ocean. MegaRed provides an optimal combination of omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaeonic acid), essential fatty acids that may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.†
MegaRed has been shown to significantly increase your omega-3 index in just 30 days.^ The Omega-3 Index is a measure of the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your body's cells. A higher Omega-3 Index is associated with better cardiovascular health and other health benefits.
No Fishy Odor or AftertasteBecause the omega-3 fatty acids in MegaRed krill oil are carried to the body's cells in phospholipid form, they are easily recognized, incorporated and utilized by your body. MegaRed Krill Oil mixes well in the stomach for efficient digestion. Importantly, because MegaRed omega-3's are carried in phospholipid form, there is no fishy aftertaste.
Small Softgel is Easy to SwallowOne softgel per day is all you need, and each MegaRed pill is small and easy to swallow.
Sustainable Krill from Environmentally Responsible SourcesIn an effort to promote sustainable practices, MegaRed krill oil is sourced from the Antarctic Ocean where krill are abundant. The krill are harvested well below international catch guidelines from sources that use eco-harvesting, ensuring that only krill are harvested and not other marine animals. MegaRed's source for krill oil has been certified by an independent nonprofit organization that sets voluntary standards for well-managed and sustainable operation of fisheries.
Just 1 small, easy-to-swallow MegaRed softgel to take each day. Quality tested for purity.

I have tried several Omega 3 and krill oil tablets and softgels and this one is the only one I will take now. It is small so easy to swallow, it has no fishy aftertaste and it is good for your heart. What else can you ask for? It may cost more than the others but you get what you pay for.

This product really needs to list the actual nutritional information on Drugstore.com. I looked it up on their site: 115 mg Omega-3, and only 30 mg DHA. The product is advertised to be easy to swallow, and that's mostly because you're not getting very much of the nutrients the supplement says it provides. If you want to take a good amount of anything, you either need to take more smaller pills, or 1 bigger pill.

Comments about Schiff MegaRed Extra Strength 500 mg Omega-3 Krill Oil Dietary Supplement Softgels, 45 ea:
After using other brand, similar products, I have learned to spend the little extra and get this one. It is well worth it. There is no odor, no taste and no repeating of this pill. An excellent source of Omega3, Krill Oil. I highly recommend this supplement.

Easiest fish oil to take
By Des the model
from laurel, md
describe yourself First Time User, Health Conscious
I dont eat read meat and lack the omega-3 that my body needs. The capsule is small and tasteless making it extremely easy to take. You only take one a day. I do not have any complaints about this product. I've also decided to take fish oil because I read that it promotes/aids in healthy hair growth. I do not know how effective it is because I also take biotin, collagen 1 & 3, vitamin E and GNC Womens multi vitamin but I have seen a significant change in my hair.

I love it!! I was taking fish oil 3x a day. My biggest complaint was they were too BIG. I asked my dr if it would be ok to take this instead...and I was told yes. I don't know how effective cause I just started taking them. But I love all the things they advertise. thx MegaRed!:D
Low to no fishy after taste
By db

describe yourself First Time User
I have started having trouble with the regular fish oil supplements coming back on me. Megared was recomended as not having the fishy aroma nor a fishy after taste. It does smell different than normal fish oid, but, I was after something to deal with the after taste, which it does for me!I am not sure about the strength as I was taking 1000mg+ of fish oil and am using the 500mg.I will see a Dr next week who will check.It works out a little pricery than standard fish out, but, with no after taste I can deal with it.

If you've ever lived in Boston, it's probably one of your favorite places in the world. It's certainly one of the most unique. Ask ten people what they love about Boston and you'll get ten different answers. Boston's quirky; it's the One Man Band guy playing oldies but goodies on Newbury Street and grown men quacking on duck boats. Boston's historic: The Kennedy's! The infamous Boston Tea Party! The Freedom Trail! Boston is sports paradise: if you want to eat, sleep, and breathe sports (warning: it smells like Fenway Franks), this is the place to do it. And of course, Boston's wicked smart; there are over 50 colleges & universities in the Greater Boston area, including Harvard and MIT. It has the art, food, and nightlife of a big city, with the friendliness and heart of a small town. Boston is one of a kind – just ask that One Man Band guy.

I-3-5-50.Appeals Council Receives Additional Evidence After Denial of Request for Review
Last Update: 9/08/05 (Transmittal I-3-36)
Occasionally, the Appeals Council receives additional evidence on a case after it has denied a request for review. The Appeals Council's next action will depend, in part, on when the claimant or the claimant's representative submitted the evidence.
A. Evidence received prior to the date of the Appeals Council's action
When SSA receives evidence prior to release of the denial notice, but it is not associated with the claim file until after the denial notice is released, the Council must consider the claimant's request for review again. If the Council decides that denial of the request for review is still appropriate, the Council will send the claimant an amended denial notice vacating the prior action. The notice will address the additional evidence, and advise the claimant of the right to file a civil action based on the amended notice. This procedure applies to the receipt of briefs and contentions as well as to medical and other evidence. SSA must receive the evidence, in any Social Security office, prior to the date of the Council's action. Before recommending that the Appeals Council vacate its action, the analyst should ascertain from the Court Case Preparation Review Branch (CCPRB) whether a civil action has been filed. See I-4-1-52 D.
B. Evidence received after the Appeals Council's action
If evidence is received by SSA on or after the date of the denial, or in response to the Appeals Council's action, the Council will not vacate its denial of the request for review. The Council will treat the evidence as a request for reopening. See I-3-9 ff.
C. Request for duplicate exhibits and/or recording(s) of the hearing received prior to date of Appeals Council's action
A situation similar to A. above occurs when SSA receives a request for duplicate exhibits and/or recording(s) of the hearing prior to release of the denial notice, but it is not associated with the claim file until after the denial notice is released. In such a situation, the Council must consider the claimant's request for review again.
Such requests will be forwarded to the OAO Branch support staff, who will obtain relevant queries to ensure the duplication had not previously been released and that a civil action had not been filed. If the Branch support staff determines that the exhibits and/or recording(s) had not been released and no civil action had been filed, they will:
Request the claims file from the OAO Mega-site (or other location).
Immediately prepare a COR-40C letter with the electronic signature of the Executive Director.
Date and release the letter to the claimant and/or representative [with the Branch Chief's (or his/her designee's) approval].
Make appropriate inputs to ACAPS [Workload Type=REO, Control Date=date letter was received in the branch, and SCC=TMV).
Update OHA CCS to show that the request for review is pending.
If there is a subsequent application pending at the hearing level, notify the hearing office by fax that the request for review is pending again.
As soon as the claim file is received, the OAO branch staff will process the request for duplicate exhibits and/or recording(s), send the duplicated material to the claimant and/or representative using the appropriate cover letter, and diary the case for potential response from the claimant and/or representative. When additional evidence and/or contentions are received, or the diary matures, the case will be assigned to a hearings and appeals analyst to rework the case. When the final Appeals Council action is released, the OAO Branch support staff will make the appropriate inputs to ACAPS and OHA CCS.

I realize that you can currently manually download an xml file, and that works but is kind of clunky for what i would like to do. Basically I want to enter my data here, have it automatically added to my blog (I have a script ready to do that via a cron job - all I need is an RSS feed or XML file accessible via the web), auto added to facebook and twitter.
