Tim Tams

Where in Toronto can I find Tim Tams??
No australian food stores that I know about in Toronto. A couple of suggestions:
1. If I can't find the foodstuffs for a particular country, I try the stores specializing in the foodstuff from a nearby country (i.e. try Phillipino gorcery stores (there's a few on Queen West), Indonesian grocery stores, etc.)
2. Have a pint at the Tranzac Club (292 Brunswick Club): A bar devoted to Austrailian//New Zealand culture...and full of Aussie ex-pats...maybe they'd know
re: Chester Eleganté
Hey Chester -- how do you drink hot chocolate through a Tim Tam? The only Tim Tam's I've ever had are chocolate covered biscuits. Are there straw-type cookies, too?
re: TorontoJo
you bite both ends and then suck up the drink through the cookie...
says, "In Canada they are available under the name Arnott's Biscuits. In Vancouver they are available at the Real Canadian Superstore."
If they're available at the Real Canadian Superstore in Vancouver, maybe there are in the one in Toronto as well? It's at Eglinton and Don Mills.
As of Nov 1st 2007 the regular Arnotts Tim Tams have been at Loblaws at Leslie & Lakeshore. I am an aussie in Toronto and so I can confirm that they are the real thing. Now I just have to wait until they start selling chicken Twisties!!!
re: leanne020580
Thanks to this board's posters for introducing me to Tim Tams! Man are they ever tasty. Love em.
I got mine at the Loblaws at Bayview/Hwy. 7.
I work in 'da Bridge (Woodbridge) and had to go to the Home Outfitters to pick up some bedsheets, and while I was waiting in line, what should I spy? But TIM TAMS!!! Original and Caramel. I only picked up one package of each (no sense in being too greedy) and the cashier told me that since they received them in, they have been flying out the store. They still seemed to have a fair amount left of each, but for how long?
All that being said, it seems that the Bay/Home Outfitters/Zellers may be locations to try and find them. Must say, i would love to try the dark chocolate ones.
re: jtamin
Dark chocolate not good. I don't know if the package I bought were too old or something. They seemed a little stale, but I would stick with the milk. I normally love dark chocolate as opposed to milk, but with some things milk chocolate is just the way to go. I ended up throwing out my package of dark choco with more than half left.
Concord Food Centre at Dufferin and Centre in Thornhill should have them. Its sister store, Oak Ridges Food Mart should have them too.
I think most Loblaws carry them now. I've definitely seem them at the Leslie/Lakeshore location and also Gerrard/Victoria Park location.
I bought them at Home outfitters on the Queens way in Etobicoke believe it or not..I was shocked to see them there, they had the original chocolate and the caramel filled ones, I got both kinds to try, didn't like them much kinda dry and dusty tasting, if you want an amazing cookie try the Harbord Bakery they have a chocolate walnut cookie there that will blow your mind, it tastes just like a brownie, and if you get there right when they make them they are still hot and soft and chewy like a fresh baked brownie..Enjoy
Lucky Moose in Chinatown - at Beverley and Dundas on the southwest side - got them yesterday

It's pretty common to be watching a TV show or movie and say to yourself, "I really like that outfit. Wonder where I could purchase it."

A mother in Wales was out for lunch to celebrate her son's second birthday when she noticed that her toddler was making faces while drinking his juice.

This recruitment video for McDonald's is simply amazing.

3 Thing Law Students Can Do Today to Build Their Future Solo Practice
Please welcome Rachel Rodgers, the intellectual property and business lawyer for digital entrepreneurs, to the blog. Rachel has three tips for what law students can do NOW to start building a future solo practice.
She has excellent advice, which she will also share at the Catapult Conference — where she'll be a speaker!
Welcome, Rachel.
Setting yourself up for a successful virtual law office (VLO) doesn't have to wait until you graduate from law school. You can begin to build a solid foundation for your future VLO, right now!
Here are 3 things you can start today to lay the groundwork for a successful solo practice.
1. Develop Your Knowledge of a Particular Area of Law
The sooner you choose an area of law, the easier it will be to gain a foundational knowledge in that area on which you can build when you start your practice. Some law students are very lucky and instinctively know exactly what area of law they are excited about and want to build a career around. Others, like myself, are not so lucky.
I struggled in law school to find the right fit.
By taking classes on a variety of legal subjects, attending various events around different practice area and taking advantage of clinical and volunteer opportunities, I was able to discover various areas of law that I did not want to practice.
Eventually, my practice area of business law and intellectual property chose me.
When I was launching my practice I had a lot of friends who were getting laid off from their jobs due to the recession and decided to use their severance pay to start their own businesses. They came to me for assistance with contracts, securing IP and other matters related to their businesses. I eventually realized that most of my clients had the characteristics of being relatively young entrepreneurs building businesses in the digital space, so I devoted myself to being a business and intellectual property lawyer serving digital entrepreneurs.
If you're like me and have not found a practice area that you are excited about yet, keep experimenting.
Pay attention to the cases that you get excited about and think about the type of people you want to serve. You can also build a practice around your personal interests — if you're obsessed with sports, than maybe sports law is for you, if you loved growing up on a farm, maybe you want to consider agricultural law, if you are passionate about the environment, then green law might be right for you.
If you don't figure it out right away, don't worry. Keep exploring the law and the right practice area will emerge.
2. Get Practical Experience
If you think you might want to go solo soon after you graduate, get as much practical experience as humanly possible.
Clinics and judicial internships will help you develop your lawyering skills and build your self-confidence.
These are also an excellent way to get exposure to a lot of different areas of law and discover what gets you excited. If you've already decided on your area of practice, then focus on building those skills above all others. Get an internship or clerkship in that area of law and then learn everything you possibly can.
Also, start building your business skills. Starting a virtual practice means you'll have to wear a lot of different hats. Some days you'll be focused on legal work but some days will be all about marketing or accounting. So the more you know about running a business the better situated you'll be.
Once you grow your practice, you'll be able to get more support in the areas you don't enjoy or excel at but when you're just getting started being a jack of all trades will be a requirement.
When I was starting out I took a great class on entrepreneurship from the Kauffman Foundation called FastTrac which walked me through the process of developing my business model. As a solo practitioner, you will continually need to expand your knowledge of marketing, finance, and other essential aspects of running a profitable business.
3. Start Building Your Online Presence
A huge part of building a VLO is having an online presence.
So while you should never represent yourself as a lawyer or give legal advice until you've been admitted to the bar, you can still start building your online brand while in law school.
One way to do this is to start a blog on a legal topic in the practice area you have chosen. There are some very well known law blogs such as winelawonreserve.com and thefashionlaw.com that were created by law students.
This is a great way to build credibility and gain expert status as time goes on. By starting a blog, you are gaining an audience that will eventually be a great place to start looking for clients. If you're not into writing, think about doing a podcast series on iTunes or a video series on YouTube.
The idea is to build a consistent presence in a medium you enjoy.
You can also start frequenting forums in your practice area and join in on the conversations.
In addition to blogging, you can start connecting with other lawyers, industry leaders, and communities via social media. I established my Twitter account before going solo as way to connect with other solo practitioners and business owners. Some of the people I "met" via social media became instrumental mentors and referral partners when I launched my practice. Years later, my social media presence continues to contribute to my business growth.
I once heard an Oscar-nominated actor give advice to aspiring actors, he told them to act.
That is the same advice I have for law students and recent grads: start lawyering.
If you're thinking about starting a practice, get started on obtaining practical lawyering skills as soon as you can. In law school, participate in every opportunity available to develop those skills. Don't wait for a firm or other organization to choose you.
Choose yourself and see where the road takes you.

If you are just flirting with the idea of going solo with a virtual law office, you may be wondering how this all works. I've been where you are and back then there wasn't much useful information on VLOs available (and, honestly, there still isn't it). Which is why I created a free e-course, Virtual Law Office 101: An Introduction to Building a Lucrative VLO. I encourage you to check it out!

Thanks, Rachel! Great advice on building your career early in law school.
You can meet Rachel in person in San Francisco at the Catapult Conference on March 1st. Don't miss it!

A large, high-capacity drain pan is a worthwhile investment. We like this one because it is also seals up for transport to the nearest oil recycling facility and includes a spot to drain the old filter. This one is large enough for two oil changes, but just barely. If you've got a high-capacity oil pan and a giant filter it will probably handle only a single oil change. The alternative to this is using a shallow pan, but then you must transfer the oil to a storage container and risk spillage. It's not really saving you time or money if you have to clean up a messy spill.

GEOG 102 Economic Geography Atlas Exercise
Agriculture is a primary economic activity that has created specific crop production regions. With this part of exercise we are going to explore the geography of the foods you eat. Let's begin by exploring dessert. First identify 5 plants that are ingredients in some of your favorite desserts. If you are uncertain, look at the list of ingredients on the package. Look at maps on p. 59-64 to determine the locations where these dessert ingredients are grown.
1. Plant ___Locations___________________________________________________________________________
a. Wheat China, India, Europe, US
b. Coffee Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam, Indonesia
c. Cane Sugar Brazil, India, China
d. Coconut Mexico, Indonesia, Southeast Africa
e. Bananas Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Phillipines
Now let's look at the foods we eat in between our helpings of dessert. Similar to above, identify 5 plants or animals that are ingredients in some of your favorite foods. If you are uncertain, look at the list of ingredients on the package. Look at maps on p. 59-64 to determine the locations where these ingredients are produced.
2. Plant /Animal ___Locations___________________________________________________________________
a. Salmon Alaska
b. Potatoes China, India, Europe, Russia, US
c. Cocoa Beans Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Indonesia
d. Rice China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam
e. Maize US, China
Secondary economic activity is essentially manufacturing. Secondary economic activities add value to raw materials and other manufactured materials by changing their form to create more useful and valuable products. The increase in value explains why many secondary economic activities are called "value-added" activities. For example, I have a friend who is a cabinetmaker. He adds value to boards by converting them into cabinets.
While the locations of primary economic activities (mining, forestry, agriculture) are largely determined by physical geography (climate, soil, vegetation and geology), manufacturing is more independent. Manufacturing locations are influenced by several factors that can change rapidly: transportation, energy supply, labor supply, labor costs, fuel costs, tariffs, political stability.
3. The most productive manufacturing is mechanized. Machines run on energy. Where does energy come from? Use the maps between p. 73-75 to identify the geographical distribution of different energy sources.
Energy source (Reserves) Leading sources (List top 3 countries)____________________________
Coal:____________________________US, Russia, China_________________________________________
Petroleum:________________________Saudi Arabia, Canada, Iran
Natural gas: ______________________Russia, Iran, Qatar
Uranium: ________________________Australia, Kazakhstan, US
Hydroelectric capability: _____________China, US, Russia
4. Now let's look at which countries lead in the production of these energy sources.
Energy source (Production) Leading sources (List top 3 countries)_____________________________________________________
Coal:____________________________China, US, India
Petroleum:________________________Saudi Arabia, Russia, US
Natural gas: ______________________Russia, US, Canada
Uranium: _________________________Canada, Australia, Kazakhstan
Hydroelectricity: _____________China, Canada, Brazil, _______________
5. The structural skeleton of manufacturing has been steel and aluminum. Which 4 countries lead in the production of raw steel (p. 71)? China, Japan, US, Russia
Which 5 countries lead in iron ore production? (p. 70)? Brazil, Australia, China, India
Do these countries lead in production of steel? Only China Why? Or, why not? China does because it has energy for steel production
What has happened to the US's share of steel production during the past 60 years? __It has decreased
Why? Because other countries have begun to produce steel more cheaply.
6. Which 4 countries lead in the production of aluminum (p. 68)? China, Russia, Canada, US,
What ore is the basic ingredient of aluminum? Bauxite
What four countries lead in their reserves of this ore? Australia, Guinea, Brazil, Jamaica
Do these countries lead in production of aluminum? Only Australia Why? Or Why not? Energy availability
What map might help you explain this? Energy production maps
7. Please turn to p. 107. This map gives us some idea in which sector of the economy US workers participate. Which pie slice is biggest in each of the cities represented? Professional, Business, Education and Health Services
Is this primary economic activity? __No__________________ Is this secondary economic activity? __No___________________________
What is it? ___It's the service economy that is classified as either tertiary or quaternary economic activity.
What would the pie charts have looked like 30 years ago?_Manufacturing, and Natural resources, Construction and Mining would be larger.
What will it look like in 30 years? Why? Good question. I think primary and secondary employment will become even less important to the US economy and employment in the service economy will continue to increase. However, if energy prices skyrocket, we might see outsourced employment return to the US because of an increase in transportation costs.

ABO-Happy Bread in the UK? U Bet!February 15th, 2000 , by admin
Re: On the Diet Topic For 28 July 2002 Rye Bread, Butter and Pork -- Yum!
Hello Heidi, Your column is great, very informative and entertaining. I wanted to let you know about artisan bread in the UK - we make a great rye bread as well as other types of bread, and Margaret has obviously not tried it - freshly-milled Biodynamic rye grains, spring water, baking ferment, and not as sour as a sourdough. Our recipe contains no added yeast, sugar, wheat or other additives, and our bread is the first UK food product to contain blood-type compatibility. You can read about it on our web site http://www.artisanbread.ltd.uk - available nationwide via health food stores and by parcel delivery. Thanks for reading this, and keep up the good work. Tom
Naturopath (ND), Osteopath and Cranial-Sacral Therapist in Canterbury, Kent, UK. By the way, he offers Blood Group Diet Consulting, and runs an email support group tailored to the needs of our BTD'er UK contingent. Have a look at his website for details of his practice and clinic: www.nature-cure.co.uk
I was so pleased to log in today to this timely reminder from our good friend Tom Greenfield, a Registered
In his spare time (LOL!) Tom acts as Nutritional Consultant for Artisan Breads in Kent. This is a wonderful company, committed to producing the finest quality health-enhancing goodies. Their website offers the pleasant shock of an ABO-specific chart showing beneficial/neutral/avoid ratings for each bread type/blood type – and articles about yeast vs. ferment in baking, an incisive news report on one woman's experience dealing with Candidiasis... and if you were wondering about the mineral content of the local Kentish spring water they use, well, you'll find it there as well!
They also list more than 80 retail locations ("stockists," to you locals ;-)) in England, Scotland and Wales, and accept online orders. If you'd rather buy than bake, or just need a rest from that summer kitchen, it's hard to imagine a better choice than Artisan. Supporting companies such as this one is a vote from your pocketbook for a healthier world. It makes a difference!
Thanks so much for your note, Tom, and take care!
Rye Bread, Butter and Pork -- Yum!February 14th, 2000 , by admin
:-) As a new subscriber to this way of eating, you'll be glad to know there are treasures galore on this website. Here's what I found on pork by searching "Ask Dr. D'Adamo:"
Pig meat provokes an immune reaction in all types, according to research from a few years ago. Whether the observed response was ABO-mediated, or due to the viral material which pigs commonly carry, I couldn't tell you because I can't find the article! :-( What we do know is that pork is well off the list for all types.
My favorite kinds of , you'll find detailed instructions (including how to make rye sourdough starter), pictures of finished products, and many references to other websites and books to expand your bread-baking repertoire.
ABO-Aware Baker's Note: For the "3 to 3 1/2 cups of bread flour," type O nonsecretors should substitute kamut or quinoa -- and use 1/2 instead of 1/4 teaspoon baking soda – and add 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed soaked for 1/2 hour in just enough water to cover. It will form a gel-like mass. Instead of the cornmeal, you might use crushed millet or coarse-ground quinoa. For everyone else, just use white (rather than whole-grain) spelt instead of the "bread flour" and the millet or quinoa instead of the corn -- all except you Bs, who should stay away from rye bread altogether! Don't feel left out: Joan's page contains lots of non-rye recipes! :->
Sheepherder Sourdough Bread (Bread Machine)
1 cup sourdough starter, room temperature, bubbly [try her rye starter]
1 cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup light rye flour
3 to 3 1/2 cups bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
Extra flour / Cornmeal
Sesame seeds
Olive oil
The thickness of your sourdough starter can determine how much flour needs to be used. If you think the dough is too moist, add additional flour (a tablespoon at a time). The same is true if the dough is looking dry and gnarly. Add warm water (a tablespoon at a time). Add all the ingredients in the bread pan of bread machine. Process according to manufacturer's instructions for a dough setting.
When the bread machine has completed the dough cycle, remove the dough from the pan to a lightly oiled surface. Knead the dough several times and form the dough into an oval; cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. After resting, turn dough bottom side up and press to flatten. Form dough into a one-inch high circle and place on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Press sesame seeds into the surface of the dough and brush with olive oil.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot to rise 1 to 2 hours until almost double in size. NOTE: It takes much longer to rise; sourdough rises much slower than bread made with regular yeast. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. After rising, bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F. and bake an additional 15 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Enjoy! :->
Can An AB and His Bananas Be Parted?February 13th, 2000 , by admin
Hi Heidi,
Before I ask a question for my husband, I have to tell you the most wonderful news about EAT 4 YOUR TYPE! I was put on Lipitor 3 years ago due to high cholesterol that would not even "budge" despite vigorous exercise and a vegan diet. I gave up being vegan and my cholesterol went down due to the liver damaging statin, Lipitor. I went off the Lipitor without telling my doctor and tried one last time to try diet and exercise to no avail. My cholesterol climbed to 279. Four months ago, I made up my mind to try to eat for my "B" type blood and QUIT taking the Lipitor. I got my blood tested last week and my cholesterol went down over 100 points!!!! I lost 8 lbs. too without even dieting!!!!! Soooooooo, I have a lot of interested friends.....
Now for my husband's question. He is Type AB. (Interestingly, his maternal ancestors are from Poland and paternal ancestors from Russia). He has been on Lipitor for 3 years too. The "stubborn Russian" side of him doesn't want to give up a banana and a glass of orange juice every day and doesn't feel that an occasional hot dog or hamburger will do him in. (In a 4 month period, I did have chicken, popcorn, tomato sauce on pizza and shrimp just a few times bit will NEVER go off this plan again!) What can you say to convince him to give up those 2 fruits? Thank you and please tell Dr. D'Adamo of my success! Regards, Karen
With such a persuasive BTD'er in the house, I'm not optimistic that my humble offerings will inspire your husband to flee his favorite avoids, but I'll give it a go.
The banana lectin is no good for his stomach and intestinal lining. He might not "feel" anything since he's so used to eating them. The harm done by oranges is even less perceptible: it contains polyamines, cancer-causing substances in adults (especially As and ABs). Hot dogs are similarly bad choices, due to the pork/nitrate combination which is, sadly, a recipe for stomach cancer and immune system disease in ABs. Hamburgers made from commercial meat with its load of pesticides, antibiotics and growth hormones are another recipe for AB disaster.
Your charming account of yourself & husband is so delightful, I'm tempted to say "Aw, you two are perfect; don't change a thing!" Not the best approach, though. :-D I can suggest a couple of strategies, but you'll have to be the judge as to what is worth trying with your husband -- you're the one who knows him best.
If he's healthy otherwise, try making up a cold smoothie for him -- bananas, oranges and another favorite fruit (but mostly bananas). Offer him some banana cream pie. Baked bananas drizzled with honey are also really tasty. Fruit salad (you guessed it -- heavy on the bananas). Just try to double or triple his banana intake for a week or two, and watch him closely to see if he complains at all of stomach pain or gas.
In the meantime, slowly introduce into his diet some pineapple juice, black cherry juice, etc. -- in smoothies and juice mixes -- and maybe some herbal tea if his stomach rebels against all those bananas. ;-)
Turkey hotdogs and fresh-ground turkey or lamb can take the place of the pork and beef. There's even a decent turkey bacon made by Applegate Farms. Substitutions and experiments with new foods are good ways to boost his health, whether he finally gives up those pesky avoid items or not.
There is a highly useful supplement called red yeast rice which works even better than Lipitor with none of the side effects. The only source I can recommend is http://www.redyeastrice-china.com/ In their pages, you'll find a U.S. contact phone number in New Jersey. They sell one-kilo bags of the powdered RYR. 1200 mg (1/2 teaspoon) twice per day is the effective dosage to lower high cholesterol in a matter of weeks, and if your husband moves a little closer to the AB diet, the effects can be permanent.
Many congratulations on your success, Karen, and my best wishes to you in the laudable task of gaining it for your husband as well! :-D
O Vegetarian!February 12th, 2000 , by admin
I'm an o blood type. I became a vegetarian last year but before that I followed the blood type eating program and felt fine physically.
The past few months I have started gaining weight at what feels like an alarming rate. I feel tired and have trouble concentrating and staying focused. My GP prescribed iron but I haven't seen any change.
I'm taking spiralina, B12, bladderack and iron, not eating wheat products and following the plan with eating only fruit & veg that are good for o blood type.
I've started eating alittle fish but would prefer not to eat anything that has to die to give me life. What do you suggest? velda
Emotionally, I'd prefer the same! but I've learned through hard personal experience that vegetarianism is not an option for me. I wonder if you, too, have discovered that your loving energy is more effective in the world when you're physically healthy than when you are hungry, tired and ill.
All things have a short term upon this Earth, and each one has its place in feeding, AND being fed by, others. This principle is as true of a carrot as of a rabbit. Your need for balance and vitality is no less than any other creature, and is no less important to the serenity of the whole.
I believe Peter D'Adamo's work is a serendipitously spiritual text, propounding in scientific terms the wisdom of each person eating and acting according to her created nature. Your body is giving you the classic type O signals that it needs the right kind of protein in order to prosper, and that without it, supplements will do little except eat your cash. While some otherwise healthy vegetarian type Os seem to get a little boost from Coleus forskolii, it is not a solution. Nor is plant protein combining, "hi-protein" vegetable powders, "right thinking," fancy amino acid compounds, or starvation in the name of "detox." Believe me, if there were a solution, I'd already be using it. :-}
With the comparison between your experience on the type O plan and the vegetarian one, you have valuable feedback far more convincing than anything I could say. Fish is a good start. Use the O diet to work yourself back to that place where you felt good. There's no better argument in the world for any lifestyle.
Good luck to you, dear!
Call and Response: Menopause, Hot Flashes, Endocrine BalanceFebruary 11th, 2000 , by admin
It sometimes happens that one contributor answers the question of another, as Barbara and David did on the subject of female endocrine imbalance and what we can do about it.
During the depression times of the past 10 years, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. With heavy periods I have constantly battled being anemia, but have managed with supplements. Now at 50 I begin to experience menopause. I am experiencing hot flashes and night sweats to a point that it effects the amount of sleep that I get. Also, at night my hands go to sleep and I often wake to sweats and asleep hands. I have an appointment with my doctor on June 11, but am interested in sticking with the diet as much as possible. (After spending 5 years of throwing up every day, I no longer go through that since I started the diet--I know it works!) What can you advise me about this condition and what can I do to make life easier? Zoe
On Tuesday, June 18,02, I was reading info on your website and discovered something that has changed my life and will change the lives of many of my clients and family and friends...This item is RHODIOLA ROSEA...I have been experiencing HOT FLASHES for years and no matter what I attempted they were there...have added Rhodiola rosea to the mix and low and behold the hot flashes have all but disappeared...Have to say Thank you for all of us that will benefit from this knowledge...You have a major challenge in this undertaking of Blood Type work...congradulations so far and keep on the investigative trail. Blesssings ~ Barbara
Can certain foods be eaten to avoid the ESTROGEN DROP during menstruation? This estrogen drop causes 3 days of severe migraine headaches every month. I am type A blood. Lorraine
Hi Just wondering if any Blood type compatibility studies have been done on MACA, the peruvian cruciferous vegetable that is having major benefits for endocrine function in both Males and Females. Info on Biological analysis at www.maca.com (not my site). I am a practitioner in Australia and it it seems very beneficial so far for Type A's. Thanks, David
In addition to the excellent suggestions of Rhodiola rosea and Maca root for all types, black cohosh extract (not for hypertensives or heart patients), chamomile tea and Blessed Thistle tincture have balancing effects upon the type A endocrine system and can alleviate the unpleasant symptoms some women experience during menopause. The phytoestrogens in soy foods are of special help to As as well.
My best suggestion for any woman with problems associated with hormone balance is to use the BTD Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia's specific protocols to guide you in choosing effective herbal and supplemental support, and engage in your recommended exercise and stress relief practices on a regular basis.
Many thanks to you all for your warm support and valuable Q&A!
Candidiasis, Type AFebruary 10th, 2000 , by admin
I am a blood type A and am desparate for some suggestions. When I try to follow the anti-candida diet, I have a lot more fatigue because I really seem to need the fruit. And I'm tired of living only on veggies and whole grain cereals, much as I like them. I need a bit more variety than that. Can you offer any advice? CHRIS
Getting rid of candida can be a nightmare, and I sympathize with your plight!
Paradoxically, the very drugs commonly prescribed for candidiasis often cause and further the condition. What you need is a rebalanced colony of beneficial intestinal micro-organisms -- and the antifungals and antibiotics can only quash the symptoms temporarily, while setting you up for new infections.
What will help is an approach based upon a personalized diet including some herbal and supplement support; and using yoga and skilled meditation practices to reduce stress and bolster your immune system response.
Find out whether you are a secretor or nonsecretor, and follow the diet outlined for you in Live Right 4 Your Type. You may need more protein and less grain than you eat currently.
Use your type-specific probiotic at night, and feed those good critters with a tablespoon of Larch arabinogalactan twice per day. Try 250 mg. of Betaine HCL or 5 drops of Gentian in warm water before meals, as a "stomachic," and two 350 mg caprylic acid capsules taken twice daily away from food to gently eradicate the candida organisms.
There is a detailed discussion of candidiasis with treatment protocols in the BTD Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia which could prove invaluable to you.
The one thing we can be sure of is that you will feel worse before you feel better! This is largely due to the intestinal population changing drastically as die-off and new growth occur. Don't Get Discouraged! Use your yoga and meditation practices to maintain energy and calm, and know that taking this route will mean you can finally beat this problem. You won't have to live on grain and vegetables, or take antifungals and other deleterious drugs.
I wish you the best of health! Drop me a line on how you're doing!
GERD: Ginger Juice -- ChiropracticFebruary 9th, 2000 , by admin
I have been "on the diet" for almost three years and have had much success with it. After only 6 weeks on the diet GERD disappeared and so did many other ailments. Recently, however, GERD seems to be rearing its ugly head again. It is not as bad as it was and happens infrequently but, nevertheless, it happens. I have not re-introduced any "avoids" into my diet - in fact I have weaned myself away from white wine now and only drink the occasional glass of red. Would you have any suggestions as to what could be the reason for GERD to reappear? I hate the thought of having to go back on medication. Thanks - Sue
GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease) is a condition in which acidic stomach contents flowing up the esophagus from the stomach, usually resulting in the burning sensations of "heartburn." The effects on the esophagus can be very harsh, setting the stage for the development of even more serious health problems.
I. An ancient Chinese medicine treatment is often effective against GERD:
Use a juicer to extract a couple of teaspoons of juice from fresh ginger root. The quantity of root will vary -- just use enough to get that much, which is enough for one day.
Take 1/2 teaspoon on an empty stomach, in the morning and 1/2 hour before lunch and dinner. It is very potent stuff, and burns a bit going down. Don't worry, you'll probably even get to like the sensation in time! and it won't do you any harm.
After a week or so, up the dosage until you're taking a full teaspoon at a time. While it does not address the cause (most likely a combination of stored stresses and inappropriate diet) this simple home treatment alone has chased GERD away for good in many people. You don't have to make the juice every day, so once you've tried it for a day or two, you can juice up a few cups of it to store, covered in the fridge, for a month. It keeps just fine that way.
II. Do you have hiatus hernia? I did -- and my chiropractor was able to alleviate it by actually reaching in under my diaphragm and pulling the stomach down. This technique, too, does not address the causes of HH (large meals, lifelong stresses, poor and irritating grain-heavy diet), but it can remove the effects temporarily while your diet and stress-relief practices do the rest. HH is often present in people with GERD.
In brief, I'd suggest you start the ginger juice, discuss with your chiropractor the technique I mentioned above if HH is involved, and begin following a powerful stress-reduction practice of your choice.
I hope you're feeling better soon, and please keep in touch!
Seeking Recipes for Essene & Ezekiel BreadsFebruary 8th, 2000 , by admin
I'm trying to find recipe's for Essene Bread and Ezekial Bread. Where could I find these?? Thanks -- Lyn
In hopes that you're a practiced bread baker, Lyn, I'll offer here the basic procedures for making these breads. Neither is as specific as we'd like, but that's the nature of this beast. The vagaries of grain and climate will affect the final product... you'll have to feel your way along as you go.
The first, for Essene bread, was kindly posted on the old message boards in 1997. The second is my interpretation and compilation of directions for making Ezekiel bread which I've gleaned from commercial bakers, home cooks, websites, and intuition. I look forward to your comments and results!
Essene Bread
Posted by Brian on November 22, 1997 at 11:30:09:
In the past, some ER4YT "newbies" have questioned what Essene Bread is or where to buy it. Perhaps it not not available in all areas. In any event, here is our offering for making this special treat at home:
1. Sprout 2 cups of wheat until the sprouts are only 1/2 inch or shorter. If they grow longer than that, the final loaf will be too "green". It usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the sprouts to reach 1/2 inch in length.
2. Grind the sprouted wheat. We use an old fashioned hand-cranked meat grinder. You will end up with a rubbery glob.
3. Form into an oval shaped loaf and bake in a shallow dish at 250 to 275 degrees (F) for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until browned.
4. Cool, keep refrigerated, and slice with a wet, serrated knife. The finished bread has a pleasantly sweet flavor. Some like to top a slice with cheese and make a real meal of it.
Note: You can add whatever extra ingredients are appropriate for the blood types in your household (chopped dates, raisins, salt, honey, grated carrots, whatever). You can also substitute rye grain for wheat, if you prefer. Be creative. Hope this helps. Make it at home and save lots of money (most health food stores sell Essene Bread for a healthy sum). Manna Bread is a heavy sweet bread, and adding the extra ingredients would give you something similar.
Ezekiel 4:9 Bread
"Take thou also unto thee wheat and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches [spelt] and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof." Ezekiel 4:9
The Ezekiel bread noted in the blood type diet books, like the Essene bread, is made from 100% sprouted grain. Unlike the Essene (or "manna") recipe, however, the sprouted grains (and beans) used in Ezekiel bread must be dried before grinding them into flour. This is a pretty tricky process, and you'll probably need a dehydrator with a fan in order to accomplish it without mold setting in on the sprouts.
Put 1/2 cup each of the wheat, barley, beans (pick a bean from your OK list), lentils, millet and spelt in separate sprouting containers -- large jars with screened tops. When each item shows a tiny sprout (1/16-1/8" in length), place that batch on one of the dehydrator screens and start drying. They're done when you can crush them and find no lingering moisture; the time involved will vary between ingredients and between batches. :->
Use a flour mill to grind the mixed sprouts. Now you're ready to begin the bread recipe (or ready to strangle me, or both. :-) Is that store-bought Ezekiel looking more attractive by the moment? :-D) Additionally, you may have to experiment with leavening ingredients, as sprouted grain loses much of the gluten that allows the bread to develop elasticity and body.
Here is a good one from the Mormon recipe site:
1.) Measure the following into a large bowl:
4 cups lukewarm water
1 cup honey
1/4 cup oil
2 Tablespoons yeast
Set aside for 3-5 minutes to allow yeast to grow.
2.) Add to yeast mixture:
2 teaspoons salt
Fresh milled flour (about 9 cups) from above mixture of grains
3.) Stir or knead until well kneaded. This is a batter type bread and will not form into a smooth ball.
4.) Pour dough into 2 large loaf pans (10x5x3), or 3 medium loaf pans, or 2 9x13 brownie pans.
5.) Let rise in a warm place about an hour, or until the dough is almost to the top of the pan. If it rises too much, it will overflow the pan while baking.
6.) Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes for loaf pans, and 35-40 minutes for brownie pans.
Good Luck!

Montreal- vs New York-style bagels
I've seen shops advertising their bagels as either in the style of Montreal or New York.
I'm not a bagel expert. Could any 'hounds elaborate on the similarities and differences between the two styles?
Thanks in advance.
Some answers are here. One thing not in that post is that wood-burning ovens are legal in Montreal and some of the very best bagelries use them.
re: Brian S
Montreal style bagels are all over Canada and those wood-burning oven are used all over the country as well. We have two places in Calgary that make Montreal bagels in the pure laine wood burning ovens.
Having said all that, I much prefer NY style bagels and my fave is Gryfe's in Toronto. Montreal style have no salt and get as hard as rocks after about a day and a half.
re: John Manzo
Gryfe's are what traditional NY bagels were like, once, until the too-dense foodcourt crap bastardized the concept. Another excellent traditional (let's just avoid the NY term altogether- Bagels are from the Middle East, not New York anyway) is at the Habord Bakery.
re: John Manzo
Sorry, but you could not possibly be more wrong. Although good New York style bagels are no longer easy to find in New York, Gryfe's bagels were concocted by Gryfe. There was no breadstuff of this type ever sold in New York.
Although the history of the bagel is not really known with any scientific accuracy, there certainly never was a "Middle East bagel".
I know Harbord made excellent bagels at one time in roughly the New York style, but I haven't had one recently, so cannot comment.
re: John Manzo
I thought bagels came from Belarus/Eastern Poland/Lithuania, depending on how old your map is, and that the larger rings associated with Israel and Palestine evolved from the same Polish ancestors.
re: John Manzo
bagels can be pure laine?
The only real similarity between Montreal and New York bagels is that they are both round breads with a hole in the middle. Montreal bagels are sweet and the taste imparted by the wood oven is characteristic.
Gryfe's bagels are different from both Montreal and New York varieties. They are almost fluffy. Fine if you like it, but is this a bagel?
The classic Toronto bagels come from Bagel World and Kivas.
I live in New York but am from Montreal - and I just snuck a whole batch of bagels from there this weekend. IMO, both kinds are equally tasty, just different.
I can't debate the finer points of what makes them different, but Montreal bagels are definitely chewier.
I was struck by the difference in size this weekend: Mtl bagels were much smaller, about the size of a hamburger bun. The NY ones are about 1.5 times bigger. I have to say, I like the smaller size better - they don't weigh you down as much.
re: piccola
I wonder, if you could go back in time (which would be cool!) and eat a New York bagel 70 years ago, if it would be a lot like a present-day Montreal bagel.
re: Brian S
I am in Montreal, I am loyal to the Montreal bagel. New York bagels are different but tasty. Most bagels I have had in the rest of Canada are bread with holes in it, not real bagels. (can't comment on Bagel world and Kivas in Toronto.
A great way to freshen up a Montreal bagel: Very quickly run in under water from the tap (Just pass it through). Microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Split in half, and lightly toast.
re: John Manzo
"...but that doesn's prevent the espresso in Montreal consistently being the worst on the planet)."
Huh? Where have YOU been getting your espresso in Montreal? I can't recall ever having a bad espresso there. Paris, yes (the beans are burnt), but not Montreal.
re: Brian S
As of 55 years ago, NO! A New York bagel never resembled a Montreal bagel.
Wikipedia has a pretty good description of the Montreal bagel.
re: FlavoursGal
Checking the Wikipedia entry on Montreal bagels, three things stood out. I had never heard before, that a baker named Engleman coming from Russia in 1919 introduced Montreal to bagels(his descendants continue to make bagels today). The person's name is actually Isadore Shlafman; There's even a Montreal bagel shop in Houston, Texas!; It's a falsehood that Montreal bagels are always baked in a wood-burning oven. It's true many of the Montreal bagel shops in Montreal use a wood-burning oven, but it not always the case(St-Viateur Bagel has a second location on St-Viateur street(that outlet mainly to produce product for their wholesale market), & it uses a gas-burning oven).
re: BLM
"(St-Viateur Bagel has a second location on St-Viateur street(that outlet mainly to produce product for their wholesale market), & it uses a gas-burning oven)."
Is it any wonder, then, that Fairmount seems to be the Montreal bagel of choice for so many, and that the Fairmount bagel won the Montreal/Toronto Montreal bagel taste-off? The flavour imparted by the wood-burning oven is no match for a gas-burning commercial oven!
re: BLM
If a bagel doesn't taste of wood smoke then, to me, it just isn't a "Montreal bagel". That smoky background and the bits of char are crucial. The gas oven version may be very tasty, but it will be noticeably different.
That said, the Kettleman's bagel franchise that lasted for about a year in Toronto did everything traditionally, but still made bagels that didn't do much for my taste buds.
I tend to treat all attempts to document the history of the bagel in North America with many grains of salt :-(
Perhaps the history of Montreal bagels is more definitive than the history of the New York version. There are so many supposedly "authentic" versions of New York bagel history that I can only laugh. During my NY childhood, most bagels were made in Brooklyn, by hand, by artisans who were (literally) born into the trade.
Frozen bagels were developed by two companies at roughly the same time: Abel's in Buffalo NY and Lender's in West Haven Conn. This dates back only to the 1950s, yet Abel and Lender (who later merged) could never agree on the history of the frozen bagel. I suspect the "true" history of the bagel in North America won't ever be known.
The stuff they sell at Tim Horton's and many, if not most other places in Toronto are known to many of my Jewish friends as "Anglican bagels", meaning, essentially, that they are a variant of "white bread".
re: julesrules
I dunno about Mtl, but the Kettleman's in Ottawa is consistently delicious and the best in town, IMO.
re: julesrules
I haven't a clue. I watched them make the things and they seemed to do everything by the book. But the bagels never tasted very good. Water can be a factor. Montreal water isn't as treated as Toronto water and is softer (as is the water in New York City). Was that a factor? I've no idea. But Bagel House is making Montreal style bagels that do taste good. So who knows?
re: FlavoursGal
Nah..those are because of all the margarine you ate.
re: embee
The second St-Viateur Bagel location on St-Viateur street BTW is at 158 St-Viateur West(very very close by to the original location). It's open to the public, but otherwise they produce for their wholesale market. They're three St-Viateur Bagel locations producing for the wholesale market(all three also open to the public), & I'm guessing they all use a gas-burning oven. However the two St-Viateur Bagel & Cafe(one on Mont-Royal, the other on Monkland) locations both use wood-burning ovens. Of course the original St-Viateur Bagel on St-Viateur still uses a wood-burning oven.
The way that Fairmount Bagel & St-Viateur Bagel make their bagels are different. The owner of Fairmount Bagel went on Montreal radio several years ago, & explained how they make their bagels(can remember what he said specifically).
re: missmojito
It's usually a sweetened water. The New York bagels of my childhood were also boiled, but were not sweet.
I've been reading more about NY bagels in connection with the "typical NY food" thread. I'm not sure it's even possible to find a real NY bagel in NY any more -- at least, the kind you'd find many years ago. According to one website, such a"bagel is a round yeast roll with a hole in the middle, no egg in the dough, malt rather than sugar, cooked in water, and then browned in the oven. This process produces a dense, chewy roll with a crisp exterior, hence giving rise to the term cement doughtnut"
We have a "Montreal" style bagel joint here in Burlington, Vermont (Almost Canada, as I like to call it.) Myer's Bagel Bakery's claim is "honey boiled and baked in a wood fire oven" and they are far better than anything else in the area. (And this is from a West Village / NYC exile.)
re: chilihead
Hi, Vince from St-Viateur Bagel. For the record we do not even own a gas oven. All our ovens are 100% wood burning and all our bagels are rolled by hand. This in fact is the main difference between our bagels and the rest of the world`s. It is to costly and bothersome to do things the old-fashioned way when there is very good machinery that can do it for you. However, the machine could never replicate the hand procedure and often over-compresses the dough therefore, giving a very dense texture to NY style bagels. Thanks for your positive comments
re: bagelman
Hi Vince. I was the one who brought it up, that the St-Viateur Bagel second location on St-Viateur(the one mainly for your wholesale market) uses a gas-fired oven. I had read about it, in the Montreal Gazette 2-part cover story around 8 years ago, where a NYC freelance writer had did a Montreal bagel vs NY bagel taste test. In it, he mentioned that the second St-Viateur Bagel location uses a gas-fired oven. Did he get the information wrong, or maybe my memory is off? For those who missed it, the New Yorker prefered Montreal bagels over NY bagels.

Ryan Alexander Jenkins, Megan Wants a Millionaire Hopeful, Sought in Murder of Jasmine Fioreby Free Britney at . Comments
The murder of Jasmine Fiore, a Playboy representative who was found dead and stuffed in a suitcase in Orange County last weekend, has police on the hunt.
Their top suspect is Ryan Alexander Jenkins, a recent contestant on the VH1 reality show Megan Wants a Millionaire (and rumored to be among its finalists).
According to police, Jasmine Fiore was found in a trash bin in Buena Park Saturday morning. She was first reported missing by Ryan Jenkins that evening.
The Buena Park PD has been trying unsuccessfully to contact him ever since and feared he may be on the run. A police official said they fear the 32-year-old Ryan Alexander Jenkins, a resident of Calgary, may be fleeing to Canada.
"It's suspicious," the official said.
Police later learned Ryan Jenkins married Jasmine Fiore earlier this year.
That revelation came courtesy of none other than Megan Hauserman, star of Megan Wants a Millionaire, who said Jenkins met Fiore at a strip club in Vegas where she worked as a dancer. Megan says Jenkins married Fiore two days later.
Ryan Jenkins, who was reportedly a finalist on the show, which is airing right now, went right to Vegas after getting booted from the show and met Fiore.
Megan Hauserman says Jenkins was smart, nice and she is shocked by the turn of events. Jenkins' publicist just released a statement saying the following:
"Ryan is currently speaking to his attorney and will fully cooperate with the police in this matter. He is planning on meeting with them in the near future."
Ryan Jenkins married Jasmine Fiore, left, after his stint on Megan Hauserman's reality show, Megan Wants a Millionaire. Fiore was discovered dead last Saturday morning.
I always had great respect for the US Feds, Until they messed up in finding Ryan Jenkins before, he entered into Canada. I wish the Feds would have gotten him, because in Canada he would have got a slap on the wrist & maybe 7 yrs in Jail in Canada. The USA WOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM WHAT HE DESERVED! A LIFE TIME IN JAIL WITHOUT PAROLE! HE WAS A COWARD AND A FOOL! MY HEART FELT SYMPATHY GOES TO Jasmine's family, Especially her MOM & DAD & family & friends. No one should have to die this way, this was horrific & so unbelievable. I pray to god this does not happen to anyone else. God Bless the Fiore Family, We can only imagine the kind of pain the family is going through. Your Family is in my prayers.. As A CANADIAN, I would like to apologize for The Canadian Police Force not finding him before he took the coward's way out! We on both sides of the border could have done more!
jasmine Fiore grew up in my town im shocked to hear of her death she was well known and loved in my town. Santa cruz will mourn her death but her memory forever alive. I send my love to her family friends and loved ones and hope that bastard gets what he deserves and poor Megan getting her show canceled.
I disagree with Ashleigh. Women are the biggest boobs, pun intended, on Reality Television particular where they attempt to marry a millionaire. You have to have something wrong with you to marry someone after only two days. It is called Reality, for a reason.
You can see Jasmine's *leaked photos* here too:
You have to do a little survey then it takes you right to the pics!!! RIP!
Sorry to burst your little bubble but not only WOMEN are on reality love shows. So don't say 'women should try and achieve success by some other means' cas men do it also.
Or maybe RAGING HOMICIDAL MANIACS like to sign up for Reality Television shows. And maybe women should try and achieve success by some other means other than selling their bodies to the highest bidder. Who said love and romance was dead.
Reality Television has a downside; it turns some into RAGING HOMICIDAL MANIACS when they lose; it's just something minor the producers forgot to put in their contracts, and they are working on a 12-Step Religious Cult program to deal with it.

Backstage News On Potential RR & WM 29 Plans

Re: Backstage News On Potential RR & WM 29 Plans
Honestly I wouldn't mind Sheamus/Orton, that'd be a solid WHC match, but IMO this would be the perfect WM to have a WHC Fatal 4 Way. Theres so many guys that can be feautured in a main event match. You've got Ziggler, Orton, Barrett, Del Rio, Ryback, Bryan, Kane, Ryback. I feel as though making it a 4 Way would make it interesting and get alot more guys in a main event match instead of just 2.
Also I'm not one of those guys that says if such and such happens I'll never watch, but if HHH/Taker IV happens I dont think I'm gonna watch this PPV, seriously. I mean I barely accepted this years, but in hindsight it was a good closure to the feud, but thats what it was a CLOSURE! Another match would completely ruin the legacy of both Taker & HHH. Honeslty I'd rather Ryback vs Undertaker as thats something fresh, would just be a filler feud until Taker/Cena at WM30, and would put Ryback over, so its not the worst thing in the world. If Ryback would win then yeah that'd suck. Plus, I dont think you guys should worry too much as Im pretty sure Undertaker chooses his WM opponent, or atleast can decide whether or not he wants to face a suggested opponent, and I'm sure he wouldnt accept Ryback.

I was reading an article in AdAge about Ian Ayres. He and his publisher were battling over the title of his new book. He wanted to call it The End of Intuition. His publishers wanted to call it Super Crunchers.
[His publishers said] "The End of Intuition" is a terrible name. So boring. But Ian Ayres didn't believe it. That's what he wanted to call his new book about how much better it is to test ideas through random trials rather than just trusting some marketing guru or focus group — or intuition. His editor thought he was nuts and insisted that "Super Crunchers" was a much zippier name.
So the two of them decided to do some random testing of his book on random testing. They took out a Google ad and half the time someone was doing a search on "data mining" or "number crunching," a little ad on the right would appear for a new book called "The End of Intuition." Half the time the same ad appeared for a new book called "Super Crunchers."
Based only on this information, which title do you think won? Make your best guess, then keep reading.
To me, it's pretty darn obvious; "Super Crunchers" had to perform much better if they keywords they targeted were "data mining" and "number crunching."
Sure enough…
"Super Crunchers" got way more traffic — 63% — and thus became the title of his book.
I was actually a little surprised it wasn't higher than 63%, but I don't have access to the actual ad.
There are two types of people in customer research. There are Humanistics, who have a great ability to empathize with other people. They truly want to understand why people behave the way they do, what their deeper motivations are, and how to better relate to people. Then there are Methodicals. They're superior number crunchers. They like statistics and spreadsheets. They base their decisions on facts (even if they're merely justifying to themselves a decision that's already been made based on emotion).
I'd be curious to see this test repeated with different keywords like "customer insight" or "customer research"or "understanding your customers." These are keywords more likely to be used by Humanistics, who would be more attracted to the title "The End of Insight."
If the subject matter of the book is truly aimed at more Methodical researchers, "Super Crunchers" is definitely the way to go. I'm not suggesting Ian change the title of the book. But never underestimate the power of words. The keywords you choose will affect your results.
Maybe it's just me, but as a person who does a lot of keyword research and analysis, moreover sometimes in almost literally around-the-clock chunks, I don't think of any data-driven marketing – including and beyond customer research – as being so polarized on either the Methodical or Humanistic side. Both ways of thinking are critical to it, as much of the point involves using methods to arrive at actionable human intelligence.
Despite being a little cheesy "Super Crunchers" is a better title though IMHO, yes. Not because "The End of Intuition" is boring, rather as I think it supports a dangerous myth I see pop and fizzle around the Web Analytics space, the notion that gut doesn't matter anymore. That notion may make for catchy headlines, titles etc. but anyone who actually buys into that sets themselves up to be a sux0r in several ways.
Nice post on Keywords and intuition Holly. Glad you added the sentence on the methodicals, "They base their decisions on facts (even if they're merely justifying to themselves a decision that's already been made based on emotion)."
BTW, I think many people (less than 50%) are both – and can switch back and forth depending on the situation.
If you attach the keyword "number crunching" to the ad title "Super Crunchers", my gut reaction says that this test was not accurate since the word "Crunchers" will probably show up in bold, while no words in "The End Of Intuition" will show in bold, therefore lending a higher CTR to the Super Crunchers ad.
JD is right – I'd also imagine it scored higher for the keyword number crunching than data mining.
SuperCrunchers is a catchy title, and gives us one more example of why engineers should never try to be marketers.
Better clear the name with Michael Arrington first though
Nice tip.
I just add this article in my bookmark.

I'm participating in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes because I know that my fundraising efforts will help improve the lives of millions of people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). T1D is an autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin – a hormone essential to turning food into energy. It strikes both children and adults and is unrelated to diet and lifestyle. With T1D there are no days off, and there is no cure – yet. Your support of JDRF can help change that. JDRF is the one organization with the plan, influence, and ability to lessen the burden of this disease until it no longer exists.By donating today, you can help JDRF fund research that impacts the lives of the millions of children, adults, and families challenged by T1D every single day. With your support, we will create a world without T1D and turn Type One into Type None. Thank you.

Wow. Who would have thought that a) we'd ever see Mark Hunt get knocked out by something as simple as a left hook-straight right combo, b) in the opening seconds of a fight, and c) by a middleweight. This is the guy who walked right through a Cro Cop high kick. Hats off to Melvin Manhoef. Maybe now he'll get that fight with Kimbo Slice that he wants.

10 Summer to Fall Beauty Buys
With the summer almost over (sob) and fall coming fast and furious (sweaters!), its time to rethink your beauty regimen. As the season changes, so should your primping products. What works on your skin during the hot, humid season might not be as effective when the weather cools. Here, the top ten products you need to look your sexiest going into September.

Bronze Goddess
Your tan is the first casualty of the summer. Keep your glow going with a powder bronzer (only go one shade darker than your complexion, or it could look dirty). For a sunny radiance, use a big, fluffy brush to swipe bronzer over cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and forehead – i.e., where the sun naturally hits your face. We're obsessed with Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder ($34), a natural-looking bronzer with the barest hint of radiance-boosting gold shimmer.

How can I point all incoming requests to one directory
I have set Document Root in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to my application. I pointed my first domain about two weeks ago and it worked. But now no other domains are pointing to my application. It goes to a page that says "It Works!".
I know this can be done because I have seen it working on a CentOS system. No server configuration was necessary for new sites. All sites simply pointed to the same directory.
Please help, how can point all incoming requests to the same directory?

Updated: August 17, 2012 7:09AM
WASHINGTON — It's very premature to write off the political career of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) — at an undisclosed location getting treated for a serious "mood disorder." He has $246,625 in his political warchest as of June 30, a virtually unknown GOP opponent running in a heavily Democratic district with no political cash and a savvy top political strategist — his wife.
"We haven't hit the $5,000 mark yet," GOP nominee Brian Woodworth told me Sunday.
Woodworth, an associate professor of criminal justice at Illinois Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, has not even raised or spent enough — $5,000 — to trigger having to file a report with the Federal Election Commission.
Even all the national attention on Jackson's disappearance has not translated right away into political donations, Woodworth told me. "We haven't had any money come in yet. We do have a number of promises," he said.
Jackson has given Woodworth a gift — of free publicity to a political unknown. "He's managed to give me more press then I can ever purchase," because of the "mystery surrounding him," Woodworth told me.
According to the latest campaign finance disclosures, due on Sunday, a firm run by Rep. Jackson's wife, Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th), continues to receive $5,000 a month. The firm, J. Donnatella and Associates, is based in Washington, D.C.
Sandi Jackson at this time of crisis serves in two roles —as a wife whose husband has serious mental health issues, and as his chief political advisor and campaign manager. Ald. Jackson — who has worked for the Democratic National Committee — has been on her husband's political payroll for years.
"She is still running the political operation, she is running the campaign," Kevin Lampe, a Jackson spokesman, told me Sunday. "The campaign is still moving forward. We have people working on the data base, people working on the outreach. The campaign is ongoing," he said.
The Jackson family divides time between homes in Washington and the South Side of Chicago, living here in a red brick rowhouse off of DuPont Circle. Their children attend the private Washington International School here. I talked to a parent of a WIS student who saw Rep. Jackson at a school function just before the summer break — and said nothing obvious seemed wrong with him.
Before anyone concludes Jackson will resign or give up his nomination, consider that he has nominal GOP opposition in November and comebacks and second acts are common in politics.
Jackson's House seat — for now — seems safe even if he is off the job for months. And while there is a push for him to disclose more — add me to that group — the political reality is he suffers little consequence for taking his time.
Presuming he will be healthy enough to serve — being in Congress keeps Jackson in the game.
He may not rise higher — but he might not have anyway. Winning a Chicago mayoral election was always a longshot and Jackson — back when his stock was high — backed down from challenging former Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Jackson's political career in Illinois — outside of his House district — faced obstacles because of controversies surrounding his father, the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson — including Illinois-specific tangles with the Decatur school board in 1999 and the Highland Park police department in 2000 that would impact a statewide run.
Jackson defeated former Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.) in the March Democratic primary — scoring a big victory even with ethics clouds hanging over him over his bid to get former now imprisoned Gov. Rod Blagojevich to appoint him to the Senate seat held by President Barack Obama — and a relationship with a female that strained his marriage.
Jackson's political advancement is more dependent on him getting rid of his ethics issues — and not over when he discloses what ails him, where he is being treated and when his constituents can expect him back on the job.
A few months ago, former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) seemed at the end of his political career. He resigned in June 2011, because of a sex-texting scandal; now he is mulling running in 2013 for New York mayor or another city office called public advocate, the New York Post is reporting.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Jackson's political career is not over.
"I don't know what his specific challenge is, but let me tell you, members of Congress in both parties, men and women, go through a lot of trials, physical and mental trials . . . and they emerge from them stronger. American people and the people of Illinois will stand behind a congressman who is facing his challenges head on and they'll support him," Durbin said.
Jackson last voted in Congress on June 8; his absence started June 10, according to his staff.
Of course, there are upsets. In 1994, as then Rep. Dan Rostenkowski (D-Ill.) was facing an unfolding scandal, he lost his seat to a political unknown, Republican attorney Michael Flanagan. Flanagan was defeated after one term by Rod Blagojevich. When Blagojevich decided to run for Illinois governor, Rahm Emanuel won the seat, giving it up to become chief of staff for Obama. That seat is now held by Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.).

The battle to claim October's best-selling compact sedan title has been won by the Honda Civic. The Japanese four-door sold 27,328 units, leaving the Toyota Corolla - September's title holder - in its wake with 23,637 units sold. In terms of year-to-date sales, the Civic sits at 280,899 units, ...
There was little doubt that the government shutdown, which occupied 16 days of an already-short month, put downward pressure on US auto sales during the month of September.
