Good News From Goodell On Kevin Williams, Stadium IssuesPosted by on March 23, 2011 – 12:15 pm
NFL owners held meetings in New Orleans over the last few days and on Tuesday at the meetings NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell held a news conference. After the news conference, Twin Cities reporters caught up with Goodell and the commissioner had some good news for Vikings.
First, it appears that DT Kevin Williams, who has dropped his appeal in the StarCaps case, is not in line to be suspended once a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is ratified. At least not right away.
"I think we'll wait until the litigation is done before we make a decision [on any potential suspensions]," Goodell told two Twin Cities reporters, via Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune and the Access Vikings blog.
Goodell was also asked about the current stadium situation in Minnesota.
"All efforts are to keep the team there," Goodell said. "I think there's some urgency to having the stadium addressed both in the short term and the long term. We have a short-term issue with the Dome itself, a long-term issue with getting a solution to that."
Zulgad also points out that Goodell would be "more than happy" to travel to Minnesota to help find a resolution and also that the NFL Commissioner has been in touch with Ted Mondale, who is chair of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission.

Kevin Williams Named To NFC Pro Bowl SquadPosted by on January 7, 2011 – 11:39 am
Vikings DT Kevin Williams was named to the NFC Pro Bowl team on Friday, replacing injured Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh. It marks the 5th straight season that Williams was recognized as a Pro Bowler and the 6th time overall in his 8-year career.
Williams started all 16 games for the Vikings during the 2010 season and finished with 49 tackles, 9 tackles-for-loss, 7 passes defended, 1.0 sack and 1 forced fumble. He has totaled 49.5 sacks in his career, the most among DTs in the NFL since he entered the NFL in 2003.
"I look at it as a great honor by your peers and your coaches around the league to be selected to the Pro Bowl," Williams said. "I really enjoy it and I really appreciate the honor."
Williams joins RB Adrian Peterson as the 2nd Viking on the NFC Pro Bowl squad.
"It's great to be with Adrian," Williams said. "I see him every day and he's going to give you the same thing. Those guys better watch out. It's a nice time to converse with all your peers and just catch up with all the guys after a tough season."
RB Adrian Peterson (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010)

Vikings Players React To Leslie Frazier HiringPosted by on January 3, 2011 – 3:28 pm
I'm sure we'll be in touch with several Vikings players over the next several hours to get their comments about the Vikings choice to hire Leslie Frazier as head coach. So instead of writing separate entries for each player quote, we'll compile a long list here and continually update it, with the newest quotes at the top.
DT Kevin Williams: "We're excited that Leslie is going to get the chance to be the head coach for the future. He's put in his time and worked his way up and showed what he could do already this year. He's a guy who can relate to how the players feel and what they're going through and that's important. He's been where we are and he's earned our trust."
DE Jared Allen: "I'm very happy for Leslie to have this opportunity. He's a great coach and a great person. He provides an excellent work environment, he's determined to win, and as a former player, he relates to the guys in that locker room. That's all you can ask for."
WR Percy Harvin: "Coach Frazier is the perfect fit for this team. This season and the last six weeks were tough on everyone but Coach Frazier did a great job in keeping us together. Now that we know he is leading this team it's on the players to get his back and go out and win him some ball games. I know the 2010 season just ended but I'm already looking forward to the 2011 Vikings."
LB Chad Greenway: "It's great news that Leslie got the job. Guys respond to him and he's got great respect in the locker room. Coach Frazier deserves this opportunity and I know he's going to make the most of it."
LG Steve Hutchinson: "At the end of the season as interim coach he was well-respected by the team. Everyone in the locker room is confident in Leslie and you saw a renewed sense of urgency under him. Leslie has a track record as a player and at a championship level. He's won a Super Bowl as a coach as well. He knows what it takes to make those strides to get this team there."

Despite Wintry Weather, TCF Bank Stadium Field Passed TestPosted by on December 21, 2010 – 10:53 am
There was much discussion regarding the condition of the playing surface at TCF Bank Stadium in the days leading up to the Vikings-Bears game on Monday night. The stadium, which hosts home University of Minnesota Golden Gopher games, had been winterized following the conclusion of the Gophers season.
But with the collapse of the Metrodome roof a couple weeks ago, Monday night's game was moved to TCF Bank Stadium and weather conditions, including multiple heavy snowfalls, were not helping the cause. Crews from the University of Minnesota, the Vikings and the NFL worked diligently around the clock to ready the field and judging by comments from coaches and players after the game, everything turned out well.
"I want to first of all thank the University of Minnesota, along with the NFL and the Vikings organization for getting things in place for us to be able to play in front of our home fans," Vikings Interim Head Coach Leslie Frazier said after the game. "I thought the conditions were fine. None of the players complained. It didn't create any problems for them with footing. It seemed like both teams performed without any problems with the field."
Here's what a few other Vikings players had to say about the field and game conditions…
Kevin Williams: "It was a great atmosphere. It started out great when our offense went out and scored and we just got some bad breaks after that. We kind of got the crowd out when we got behind. But it was a great crowd and a great atmosphere."
Jared Allen: "The atmosphere was cool. The fans came out and I think they enjoyed it. But I thought the crowd was good and energetic and it was loud. We're just sorry we disappointed."
Toby Gerhart: "I think it was actually pretty good. I can't remember slipping. I don't think too many people slipped and like I said earlier, credit to the facilities people that got that field ready to go and it turned out really well."
Chad Greenway: "To be honest with you, I had a lot of fun out there. Obviously, the score is not indicative of what we wanted it to be or any place we wanted to be at the end of the game. Just the conditions and the crowd, that first quarter was so fun. Then things just turned on us. But it was a fun atmosphere and conditions were Minnesotan.
"We do appreciate everything the fans have done to support us. These last couple weeks have been rough for them. We were supposed to have two home games at the Metrodome and we didn't get that. We were sure happy the way they came out tonight."

Analyzing The Vikings DefensePosted by on December 15, 2010 – 4:33 pm
Aside from the fact that the Vikings suffered a deflating 21-3 loss to the NY Giants last Monday night, the defense played well as it has been since Leslie Frazier took over as interim head coach.
It may not look like any phase of the Vikings team played well by simply looking at the score, but when we take a deeper look into the game, it's clear that the defense held its own throughout the contest.
Yes, the defense allowed a season-high 213 rushing yards, but if you take away both Giants RBs Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw's longest runs – 73 and 48, respectively – that number is reduced to 92 yards and 1 less TD since Bradshaw's 48-yard run in the 3rd quarter was good for a score.
The secondary also played quite well, picking off Giants QB Eli Manning twice in the 1st half. The first INT came on the Giants 3rd play from scrimmage where Vikings CB Frank Walker jumped in front of Giants WR Hakeem Nicks on a seem route down the right hash, picking off Manning's pass and returning it 10 yards to the NY 34. The turnover resulted in a 31-yard FG by Vikings K Ryan Longwell.
Manning's second INT came on the Giants 2nd play of the 2nd quarter. Vikings CB Asher Allen established position in front of Giants WR Mario Manningham – who was running a short slant route at midfield – marking Manning's 11th INT against the Vikings in 5 games. The INT gave the Vikings the ball at their own 41, but they were unable to convert the turnover into points.
To go with the pair of INTs, the Vikings defense allowed Manning to complete a pedestrian 22 of 37 passes (59.5%) for 187 yards and 1 TD. The 59.5 completion percentage was Manning's 3rd worst of the season. That low completion percentage is a reflection of the Vikings front 4 putting pressure on the Giants QB for much of the game.
Vikings DT Kevin Williams posted a season-high 6 tackles (3 for loss) while DE Jared Allen increased his consecutive games with a sack streak to 5 and now has 9.5 on the season, furthermore establishing his worthiness of a 4th consecutive Pro Bowl nod.
Other positive numbers for the Vikings defense include 6 tackles for a loss for -19 yards while allowing a 23% (3 of 13) 3rd-down efficiency for the Giants.

Vikings Bounce Buffalo 38-14Posted by on December 5, 2010 – 4:03 pm
The Vikings were missing 3 starters and several other key players on Sunday but it didn't prevent them from taking care of business and notching a convincing 38-14 victory against the Buffalo Bills at Mall of America Field. The win moves the Vikings to 5-7 and gives Leslie Frazier his first win at home as Vikings Interim Head Coach; Frazier is now 2-0 at the helm.
The game began with starters Ray Edwards (ankle), Percy Harvin (illness) and Steve Hutchinson (thumb) on the sideline and then just 3 plays into the action QB Brett Favre was lost for the day with a shoulder injury. On top of that, backup QB Tarvaris Jackson entered the game and threw a pick 6 on his 2nd series, which gave the Bills an early 7-0 lead.
But it was a "next man up" mentality for the Vikings as they showed resiliency in battling back and ultimately blowing Buffalo out of the game early with a barrage of offensive TDs and defensive turnovers. Jackson responded to the INT by leading the Vikings to a TD on the ensuing drive, with the scoring play coming on a 31-yard bomb to WR Sidney Rice down the right sideline, knotting the score at 7.
The defense played another outstanding game coming off last week's impressive performance against Washington, allowing just 1 offensive TD and 239 net yards. Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was pressured constantly, with DE Jared Allen the most frequent pest. Allen had 1.0 sack and a forced fumble, but was in on numerous other defensive plays and QB pressures. S Husain Abdullah led the Vikings in tackles with 7, DT Kevin Williams had a pair of tackles for loss and CB Antoine Winfield grabbed an INT.
Following Jackson's 1st-quarter INT, the Vikings scored 38 unanswered points and Jackson had help along the way. Rice finished the game with 105 yards and 2 TDs on 5 receptions and RB Adrian Peterson repeatedly punished the Buffalo defense, rushing for 107 yards and 3 TDs on just 16 carries. A couple more INTs by Jackson will take the shine off his performance, but it should be noted that he came in and played well for the offense, completing 15 of 22 passes for 187 yards and 2 TDs to go along with the 3 INTs.
We'll have more coverage of the Vikings win over Buffalo tonight and into tomorrow here on vikings.com, so be sure to stay tuned.

Player Reaction To Coaching ChangePosted by on November 22, 2010 – 3:42 pm
Several Vikings players have provided their thoughts on the Vikings coaching change. Here's what they had to say…
DE Jared Allen
"Today is really a mix of emotions. I'm going to miss Coach Childress. Brad brought me here back in 2008, and I'm thankful for that. I wish him nothing but the best. At the same time, Leslie is a stand-up guy who has our respect. He helped turn this defense into a top ten unit year in and year out. Now this will be a chance for him to lead the organization. Leslie's great at managing players and coaches, and I know the guys will play hard over the next six weeks."
LB Heath Farwell
"Coach Frazier is very capable of stepping into this role. He's an even-keel type of guy who has the respect of the locker room. This is a great opportunity for him to showcase his skills as a head coach, and I support him 100%. I feel bad for Coach Childress. Unfortunately he's the guy that took the fall for us as players who haven't been playing as well as we should. I have a lot of support for Brad and I wish him and his family the best moving forward."
QB Brett Favre
"Leslie is a respected, knowledgeable coach and a quality person. I've enjoyed being around him the past couple years and I know he's going to take this opportunity and make the most of it. What you see is what you get with Leslie. He has a background of winning Super Bowls as a player and coach and he knows what it takes to win in the NFL. He can relate to players having been in their shoes himself and will prepare the team well. Brad Childress is a good guy, a man with strong faith and a great family; I wish him the best in the future. I think we all, starting with me, could have done more to make this a successful season."
LB Chad Greenway
"I'm saddened and humbled by the firing of Coach Childress. He gave me the opportunity to play for this organization and was responsible for bringing me into the NFL. He shouldn't have to take the fall for our performance on the field, but now we have to move on. I have a lot respect for Coach Frazier. Leslie is a guy we're very comfortable with. He's never too up and down, and he does a good job with game-planning and preparing for opponents. He deserves the opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL."
G Steve Hutchinson
"It's a tough day because I respect the work that Brad Childress put into this team. Nobody in this locker room would have thought we would be in this position at the start of the season but we have to try to make the most of it now. Brad wanted to win more than anybody, and for whatever reason, it hasn't happened. I have confidence that Leslie will do a great job moving forward. He's a standup guy and has a great demeanor. I know Leslie will be a positive presence for the guys on the team and we're going to be behind him."
K Ryan Longwell
"I'm excited for Coach Frazier to have an opportunity to be a head coach. At the same time, it's disheartening to see Coach Childress go. Ultimately this game comes down to players playing, and we weren't getting the job done."
RB Adrian Peterson
"Leslie is a good man and will do a great job as the interim coach. He's got great football smarts and players can relate to him and vice versa. He has a certain vibe and energy that everyone can feel when they're around him. When he speaks, guys perk up and tune in. I feel for Coach Childress today. I've got the utmost respect for him and I will always owe him. One of my goals when I was drafted here was to win a championship with Coach Childress. He took a chance on me and I've always wanted to accomplish our ultimate goals together; I'm sad it didn't work out that way."
DT Kevin Williams
"We're excited to go into the rest of the season with Leslie. We're ready to roll from here and get back on the field. I wish Brad the best in the future. He and his family were always great to me and my family. As players, we've got to move forward from here with a new focus."
DT Pat Williams
"I'm sad to see Coach Childress leave. I respect him as a coach and a person, but we have to keep fighting as a team for the remainder of the season. Leslie has my full support. He's a good person and a good coach. He deserves to be a head coach in this league. Whether it's here or somewhere else after this season, he deserves the opportunity."

Vikings Defense – Quiet DominancePosted by on November 8, 2010 – 11:11 am
It will likely go a bit unnoticed this week, but the Vikings defense was dominant in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. It will go unnoticed because Arizona finished with 24 points and because the Vikings had such a sensational offensive performance in the 4th quarter and overtime.
But it won't go unnoticed here. The bottom line is the defense allowed just 10 points (Arizona scored TDs on a kickoff return and a fumbled kickoff by the Vikings), held Arizona to 95 yards in the 2nd half and recorded 6 sacks. And if not for their effort, the offense wouldn't have been in position to spark a dramatic comeback victory.
The peak of the Vikings defensive performance came at the game's most crucial moments. The Vikings offense was just stymied at the goal line and Arizona took over on their own 1. The Vikings held Arizona to a quick 3-and-out, which allowed the Vikings offense to drive down the field quickly on the ensuing possession and score a TD to make the score 24-17 in favor of the visiting Cardinals.
Then the Vikings defense held Arizona to another 3-and-out on the next drive, which set up Brett Favre and Co. for the eventual game-tying drive when TE Visanthe Shiancoe came down with a dramatic TD. The Vikings defense held Arizona on a last-second possession to force overtime.
One more time the defense came up big. Another 3-and-out series for Arizona, this one in overtime. The Vikings drove down the field and Ryan Longwell kicked a game-winning 35-yard FG.
In those 4 possessions, the Vikings sacked Cardinals QB Derek Anderson 4 times and held Arizona's offense to -8 yards in 12 plays.
"We knew it was on us and we wanted to get the ball back for number four and the boys," LB E.J. Henderson said after the game, "and we knew that they could put up some money and we got it back to them and they scored."
Another factor that should not go unnoticed is the raucous Mall of America Field crowd, which came alive late in the game and was at its loudest in a long time. The noise clearly impacted Arizona's offense and provided the Vikings with an advantage.
"They really feed off that crowd," Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said of his team. "That's really an advantage that we've come to expect here at the Metrodome, raising the roof off that place. They feed off the positive energy. That's huge."
Here are a few more notes on the Vikings defensive performance:
– Arizona had 6 drives that went 3-and-out
– Vikings held Arizona to 20 yards or less on 8 of 11 drives
– Arizona had negative yardage on 2 drives
– Cardinals had multiple 1st downs on just 2 of 11 drives
Very impressive work by Leslie Frazier's group. Here's what a few of the key defenders had to say following the game…
"We were making him (Derek Anderson) move all game; he just made some plays. He didn't just sit in the pocket, he was good with the ball and moving around. We just finally corralled him there at the end, and it was good to do that. That's how we needed to be playing all year." — DT Kevin Williams
"I think we had him (Anderson) on his heels a little bit. The crowd had a great impact for us, and the D-line had a little bit quicker step, it seemed like. I think his eyes went quickly from down the field to the rush and everyone around him. That's what we need in those situations. That's why it's fun to play at home." — LB Ben Leber
"I definitely feel like it was a turning point. It was a crucial four or five minutes and we showed the type of team that we are and the type of heart we have and the camaraderie of the team. As you can see this locker room is like a playoff win so it's definitely big for us and hopefully it will get us rolling." — Henderson
"All the guys calmed down. We said, 'It's our season. If we lose this game, that's it, really.' If we lost, that would have basically been it for us. So, everybody just calmed down and everybody started playing better." — DT Pat Williams

Turning Focus To ArizonaPosted by on November 3, 2010 – 6:46 am
After another close, disappointing loss and then a couple of tumultuous days, it's finally time to shift our focus to the Vikings next opponent. And that's the Arizona Cardinals, who will visit Mall of America Field this Sunday and bring with them a 3-4 record that includes 2 straight losses and a 1-3 mark on the road.
The Vikings haven't looked any better through the first 7 games, though, and they must be about their business to defend home field against a team they've become quite familiar with; the Vikings and Cardinals have faced each other in each of the last 3 seasons now and also in 4 of the past 5 seasons.
Under head coach Brad Childress, the Vikings are 3-1 against Arizona and they have a good chance to improve that mark to 4-1 if the defenses can return to form in the friendly confines of home and if RB Adrian Peterson continues his assault on opposing defenses. The Vikings defense ranks 7th in the NFL in offensive points allowed and they are yielding just 12.6 offensive points per game at home. Peterson, meanwhile, is the NFL's rushing leader with 776 yards on the ground and the Cardinals have the NFL's 29th ranked run defense. Now there's a recipe for success if you're the Vikings.
The Vikings pass rush has failed to be a factor in 2010 but Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and Co. have a chance to get back on track this Sunday. The Cardinals have not seen quality play from their QBs this season, with rookie Max Hall supplanting veteran Derek Anderson as the starter but Anderson having to relieve Hall of his duties 3 times already. On top of that, Arizona has surrendered 22 sacks already this season, which is tied for the 5th most in the NFL.
There are a few other important areas of the game where the Vikings have a favorable matchup. Arizona has the 2nd most giveaways on the season, they are converting just 31.4% of their 3rd downs (3rd worst in NFL), they have allowed the 2nd most points per game in the NFL, they have the 27th total defense in the NFL, they are -9 in turnover ratio and they are yielding 25.7 yards per kickoff return.
With all of that being said, we're foolish to assume this will be an easy victory for the Vikings. Winning in the NFL is never easy and the Vikings have dropped a game at home already this year after going 9-0 at Mall of America Field last season. While Arizona is -9 in turnover ratio, the Vikings aren't much better at -7. Arizona also features a nice dual rushing attack with Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower. Both RBs are good as runners and receivers out of the backfield. Oh yeah, and Arizona also has this guy named Larry Fitzgerald, Jr., who is arguably the best WR in the NFL and is certainly in the top 3 or 4. He has elite size, speed and ball skills and will be a challenge for the Vikings secondary.
Another thing to like about Arizona is their head coach, Ken Whisenhunt. He came to Arizona in 2007 after serving as the offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh and he's done a terrific job in turning the franchise's fortunes around. A laughing stock not many years ago, Arizona has turned into a winner, as Whisenhunt became the first coach in team history with a .500 record or better in each of his first 3 seasons (8-8 in 2007; 9-7 in 2008; 10-6in 2009). In addition, the Cardinals are 1 of just 2 NFL teams (Vikings) to improve its win total each of the last 3 seasons.
So, it's a good matchup between the Vikings and Cardinals on Sunday and it's also a matchup of 2 division-winning teams from a season ago who have struggled out of the gates in 2010. I won't go as far as to say it's a "must-win" for both teams, but it's as close to a must-win scenario as you can get in a Week 9 contest.

A Look Inside New England's TrenchesPosted by on October 28, 2010 – 10:04 am
Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress and Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick have developed reputations for being schematic experts on their respective sides of the ball – Childress has tutored explosive offenses with both the Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles while Belichick's staple is tenacious and versatile defensive strategies.
In analyzing each coach's ability to find success within their expertise it's easy to focus on higher-profile names. Childress has utilized Brett Favre, Percy Harvin and Adrian Peterson in Minnesota while Belichick has coached players such as Rodney Harrison, Ty Law and Asante Samuel. But in reality, each coach would tell you that much of their success is due to players getting the job done in the trenches, along the offensive and defensive lines.
With that in mind and in light of the Vikings upcoming matchup with the Patriots, let's take a look at New England's offensive and defensive line to see what the Vikings have in store this Sunday when they travel to Gillette Stadium.
Patriots Offensive Line: In last week's win the Patriots starting offensive line consisted of LT Matt Light, LG Dan Connolly, C Dan Koppen, RG Stephen Neal and RT Sebastian Vollmer, the same group that has started all 6 of New England's contests so far in 2010. So continuity is certainly no issue for New England. The Patriots rank 14th in yards per rushing attempt (4.1) and rushing yards per game (111.2) and they have 5 rushing TDs on the year, which is tied for 12th most. Also, in 3rd-and-4 or less situations (they've had 21 such situations), the Patriots have converted 1st downs via the rush 8 out of 9 times. This means that in likely run scenarios the Patriots have been able to consistently find success.
In terms of passing offense, the Patriots have the NFL's 3rd best passer rating (96.0), which is obviously more of a reflection on QB Tom Brady's performance than the offensive line. But the line does deserve credit, because Brady has been sacked just 12 times in 198 attempts.
I'm not familiar enough with New England's offensive line to suggest where the Vikings may be able to exploit mismatches. But I'm willing to suggest 2 areas where it might be most beneficial for the Vikings to find success. The first area is obviously at LT, where DE Jared Allen will be going against Light. It's been well-chronicled that Allen's sack totals are down to this point, but he has been pressuring opposing QBs and he also has an INT this year. In this game, though, the Vikings will stand a better chance of defending New England's passing attack if Allen can not only pressure Brady but also put him on his back. Even the best NFL QBs, which Brady might be, don't play as well when they're consistently being hit.
The second area where the Vikings would benefit from production this week is DT Kevin Williams. If Williams is able to win his matchup this week and be a disruptive force, it will help stifle New England's rushing attack and it will also force Brady to move around in the pocket instead of stepping into his throws.
Patriots Defensive Line: New England is labeled as a 3-4 defensive team, with Gerard Warren anchoring the defensive line at NT and then Vince Wilfork at LE and a combination of Brandon Deaderick and Mike Wright at RE. But as Childress mentioned on Wednesday while meeting with reporters, the Patriots also have the ability and willingness to switch to a 4-man front when they deem necessary.
"It's a multiple defense," Childress said. "He (Belichick) has the ability to play two defensive linemen and the rest linebackers in there. You're going to get unscouted looks. Primarily they're lining up with a 3-4 look. They have the ability to play a four-down package by putting their outside linebackers on the ground. You have to prepare for a number of different looks."
Childress cited his experience in Philadelphia coaching against Belichick and the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX, where the Eagles anticipated a 3-4 alignment and faced a lot of even fronts instead.
"It's a great question and it's one that we kind of lived first-hand when we played them in the Super Bowl," Childress recalled. "You prepare for 3-4 and they play even with two guys standing in the A gaps. They're doing some of that now."

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Close clinical surveillance of all women taking estrogens is important. Adequate diagnostic measures, including endometrial sampling when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in all cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding. There is no evidence that the use of "natural" estrogens results in a different endometrial risk profile than synthetic estrogens at equivalent estrogen doses. (See WARNINGS, 2. Malignant neoplasms, a. Endometrial cancer.)
Estrogens with or without progestins should not be used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. (See WARNINGS, 1. Cardiovascular disorders.)
The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study reported increased risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary emboli, and deep vein thrombosis in postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age) during 5 years of treatment with oral conjugated estrogens (CE 0.625 mg) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA 2.5 mg) relative to placebo. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies.)
The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), a substudy of WHI, reported increased risk of developing probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age or older during 4 years of treatment with oral conjugated estrogens plus medroxyprogesterone acetate relative to placebo. It is unknown whether this finding applies to younger postmenopausal women or to women taking estrogen alone therapy. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies.)
Other doses of oral conjugated estrogens with medroxyprogesterone acetate, and other combinations and dosage forms of estrogens and progestins were not studied in the WHI clinical trials and, in the absence of comparable data, these risks should be assumed to be similar. Because of these risks, estrogens with or without progestins should be prescribed at the lowest effective doses and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman.
Each gram of ESTRACE® (estradiol vaginal cream, USP, 0.01%) contains 0.1 mg estradiol in a nonliquefying base containing purified water, propylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, white ceresin wax, mono- and di-glycerides, hypromellose 2208 (4000 cps), sodium lauryl sulfate, methylparaben, edetate di-sodium and tertiary -butylhydroquinone.
ESTRACE (estradiol vaginal cream, USP, 0.01%) is indicated in the treatment of vulvar and vaginal atrophy.
An overview of four studies of a continuous oral contraceptive (levonorgestrel 90
mcg/ethinyl estradiol 20 mcg) on premenstrual dysphoric disorder and premenstrual
syndrome. [2012]and premenstrual syndrome (PMS)... CONCLUSIONS: These data, although not consistent, indicate that continuous LNG/EE
Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel pharmacokinetics with a low-dose transdermal contraceptive delivery system, AG200-15: a randomized controlled trial. [2011.11.29]BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the ethinyl estradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LNG) pharmacokinetic profiles of AG200-15, a transdermal contraceptive delivery system, compared with a combination oral contraceptive (COC) containing EE 35 mcg and norgestimate 250 mcg... CONCLUSIONS: EE and LNG daily exposure during AG200-15 treatment was within the range reported for a low-dose COC. The daily EE dose with AG 200-15 was equivalent to a 30-mcg COC and was safe and well tolerated. Copyright (c) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Naproxen or estradiol for bleeding and spotting with the levonorgestrel intrauterine system: a randomized controlled trial. [2011.09.24]OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether oral naproxen or transdermal estradiol decreases bleeding and spotting in women who are initiating the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system... CONCLUSION: The administration of naproxen resulted in a reduction in bleeding and spotting days compared with placebo. Copyright A(c) 2011 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
[Impacts on the duration of vaginal bleeding and the levels of serum estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) for patients of midtrimester induction of labor treated with moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4) and Shenque (CV 8)]. [2011.09]OBJECTIVE: To verify the efficacy of moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4) and Shenque (CV 8) on the duration of vaginal bleeding for patients with midtrimester induction of labor and explore its mechanism... CONCLUSION: Moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4) and Shenque (CV 8) may shorten the duration of vaginal bleeding for patients with midtrimester induction of labor. Probably through the increase of serum E2 level and the decrease of P level, the uterine contraction is effectively enhanced and the excretion of placental villi and deciduas is promoted. As a result, endometrial repair occurs rapidly.
Effect of extended-cycle regimen with an oral contraceptive containing 30 mcg ethinylestradiol and 2 mg dienogest on bleeding patterns, safety, acceptance and contraceptive efficacy. [2011.08]BACKGROUND: The present study compared the efficacy and safety of a combined oral contraceptive containing 30 mcg ethinylestradiol and 2 mg dienogest (EE/DNG) in conventional and extended-cycle regimen over 1 year of treatment... CONCLUSIONS: Extended-cycle use of EE/DNG was effective and mostly well tolerated, appearing to be a favorable option for women who need or wish to omit the pill-free interval.

Vaginal Testosterone Cream vs ESTRING for Vaginal Dryness or Decreased Libido in Early Stage Breast Cancer Patients [Recruiting]
The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether the ESTRING or a special
preparation of a testosterone cream inserted vaginally are safe for use in breast cancer
patients. This study will also evaluate if either of these treatments can improve symptoms
of vaginal dryness or decreased sexual interest that are related to your treatment for
breast cancer.
Effect of Angeliq on Blood Pressure (BP) in Postmenopausal Hypertensive Women [Completed]
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of Angeliq on BP over a period of 8
weeks in postmenopausal women who may benefit from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for the
relief of vasomotor symptoms and who have hypertension.
Serum Estradiol Levels In Postmenopausal Women With Breast Cancer Receiving Adjuvant Aromatase Inhibitors and Vaginal Estrogen [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to see if Vagifem® 10mcg is safe for women who have had breast
cancer. Vagifem is an estrogen product. It is a tiny tablet that is inserted into the
vagina. It relieves vaginal dryness. Women who have had breast cancer are usually told not
to take estrogen. This is because estrogen use can lead to a breast cancer recurrence or a
new primary breast cancer. It is unclear if the estrogen in Vagifem is only absorbed in the
vagina. It may be absorbed into the blood stream for a short time and may cause a brief rise
in your estrogen level. However, there is no clear evidence that this would cause any bad
effects in patients with breast cancer. How much, if any, of these topical estrogens are
absorbed through the vagina is not known. We also do not know what the impact is of low
dose estrogen absorption on breast cancer outcomes. Also, the absorption should decrease as
the mucus membranes are restored after estrogen exposure.
Effect of Estradiol+Drospirenone Versus Estradiol+MPA on Endothelial Function [Recruiting]
This study compares the effects of two common hormone medications on the heart and blood
vessels of healthy post-menopausal women over the age of 45.
The study will take place over the course of about 5 months. Each subject will take two
different medications over two six-week periods. They will be randomized at the beginning of
the study to either estradiol+medroxyprogesterone acetate or estradiol+drospirenone for the
first period, and will receive the other medication the second six-weeks of the study. At
the very beginning of the study and at the end of each six-week treatment period, subjects
will come to the hospital various tests including non-invasive blood vessel imaging tests,
blood draws to test the levels of certain hormones in the body, an oral glucose tolerance
test, a test to monitor renal blood flow, and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. Between
treatment periods, there will be a four-week medication-free washout period.
Evaluation of Adhesion Quality of a New Formulation of the Mylan Estradiol Transdermal System 0.025 mg/Day and Climara® Transdermal System 0.025 mg/Day [Completed]
The primary objective of this study was to compare the adhesive quality of a new formulation
of the Mylan Estradiol Transdermal System with that of Climara® Transdermal System following
a single system application in 80 healthy postmenopausal female volunteers. As a secondary
objective, primary dermal irritation was assessed after removal of each transdermal system.

Which is SO important, because it's a major disappointment when you end up with a fragrance that you're just not that into – or, even worse, despise the smell of. I'll often end up doubling up on my favourite fragrance over the holidays because the limited edition packaging that some brands offer is simply irresistible. Case in point: Viktor and Rolf's Flowerbomb. Look at it – it's like countertop jewelry. Although the jasmine, orchid and rose juice is housed in an iconic bottle to start with, I adore the addition of the opalescent finish and the soft pink satin-like pleated flower that wraps around the neck of this spray. Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb, 50 mL, $125, available at Holt Renfrew and The Bay. Armani Code's rich orange blossom, sambac jasmine and vanilla fragrance may remain unchanged, but its bottle has stepped up its game just in time for the holidays. Rather than calling it a limited edition, the folks at Armani have aptly titled it their "Couture Edition." The black matte bottle is set with tiny Swarovski crystals to create a glowing floral design. Giorgio Armani Armani Code Couture Edition, 100 mL, $120, exclusively at The Bay. It looks like we're doing a double giveaway on this one. For your chance to win one of these fragrances leave a comment letting us know what your signature scent is. One week from now we'll pick two winners at random. CONTEST CLOSED! Congrats Fazia on winning the Armani Code Couture and Alaiyo on winning the Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb. Enjoy Contest closes December 11, 2012, at 12:00 p.m. (EST). You can enter once only. You're eligible only if you live in Canada and are of the age of majority in the province/territory you live in.

BOSTON, Mass.- The Boston bombings investigation has a new twist. A law enforcement source confirmed suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a note claiming responsibility for the Boston Marathon bombings. It was scribbled on a wall of the boat where he was hiding. The message said the bombings were payback for attacks against muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. CBS correspondent and former assistant FBI Director John Miller says this new evidence may be the key for prosecutors.
He says regarding Tsarnaev "Once he was read Miranda, he stopped talking, so even if those statements are inadmissible, this miniature manifesto, written on the hull of this boat, serves as a backstop for his statements. They essentially parallel each other."
His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a shootout with police. The bombings killed three people and wounded more than two hundred others.

Malaysian police have searched the homes of the pilots of the Malaysia Airlines plane that vanished eight days ago with 239 people on board.
The police are also reportedly looking at family life and psychological state of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27.
This comes after the authorities said the communications systems of the plane had been deliberately disabled.
The Kuala Lumpur-Beijing flight is believed to have then changed course.
According to satellite evidence, the Boeing 777 could have continued flying for a further seven hours after its last radar contact, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said.
He added that the plane could be anywhere from Kazakhstan to the Indian Ocean.
Razak stopped short of saying it was a hijacking, saying only that they were investigating "all possibilities".
In a separate development, India on Sunday suspended its search for the plane around the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands and also in the Bay of Bengal.
Delhi said it acted at the request of the Malaysian authorities.
China – which had 153 citizens on board flight MH370 – has urged Malaysia to continue providing it with "thorough and exact information" on the search.
The Kuala Lumpur homes of Zaharie and Fariq were searched on Saturday, a senior police officer familiar with the investigation was quoted as saying by Reuters.
"We are not ruling out any sort of motivation at the moment," the official said.
The authorities have so far released no new details on the pilots' investigation.
However, nothing has been ruled in or out – so terrorism, piracy or even an elaborate suicide are all options now being considered, the BBC's Jonah Fisher in Kuala Lumpur reports.
Zaharie joined Malaysia Airlines more than 30 years ago, and was considered a very experience pilot.
Fariq recently recently graduated to the cockpit of a Boeing 777. It is believed that he was considering marriage.

In the early days of Mogwai's career, an album titled Mr. Beast would have matched the band's Category 5 noise-hurricanes perfectly. But as the Scotsmen refined their sound over the next decade, moments of levity and clarity--airy synths, strings, eerie silences--made the band's emotional maelstroms more compelling. In fact, Mr. Beast feels like a sequel to 2003's sublime Happy Music for Happy People: The latter's peaks and valleys presaged the end of the world, whereas Beast soundtracks the lonely fallout. A repeating piano melody coils around ominous guitars that build from silence to beehive-angry quivers on "Auto Rock"; "Acid Food" asks "What happened after the storm?" atop a Vicodin-induced twang haze; and the almost-baroque "Team Handed" sighs with resignation and more desolate ivory tickling. Even the album's moments of pummeling noise (like the near-pop-song "Travel Is Dangerous") attack like a precise smart-bomb honing in on its target. And that's the beauty of the near-flawless Beast: Its turmoil and sadness intertwine in such a meticulous, human way, the reactions it provokes are that much more intense, whether it's silent tears or a poignant sense of peace.

A little about me...
Retired CEO, back to work now working on inpatient mental health unit. I have been and done many things. Very complicated, very simple.
About the one I'm looking for...
Somebody who has a good sense of humor, a broad fund of knowledge, and takes care of herself.
I'd just like to add...
I'm a little big, at 205 lbs, to be a runner but there I am out there pounding the pavement (well usually synthetic track) most days. Been a weight lifter for many years. Machines now, not free weights. Very strong hands, famous for my back and foot rubs. Diligent, persistent, patient. I'm very religious but do not proselytize. Tired of people who say "spiritual but not religious." Stand for something! A voracious reader. I can fix just about anything largely because I am very patient. Love children, have always loved being a parent. Four outstanding, successful kids, all away from home now.

Last chance for "Marisol"
I urge you to see Narrow Way Stage Company's production of Jose Rivera's "Marisol." This weekend is your last chance. It plays in Andrews Hall at the Sonoma Community Center this Thursday through Sunday. Beulah Francisca Vega directs a cast that feels each step of this play, magically transforming the stage into the mean streets of the Bronx and Brooklyn. This play is not light entertainment that sends you home whistling. But it will get you thinking, looking at the world we live in, one that includes poverty, homelessness, want, fear and anger.
The set, designed by Narrow Way principals and founders, Tony and Chris Ginesi, is fabulous; a work of art worthy of its own show. Plus, the added edginess created by excellent lighting and sound brings a haunting reality to the play.
The play highlights an apocalyptic time when hungry children, raging war, lack of water and the disappearance of the moon create panic among the citizens. Written in 1993, the play feels prescient, foretelling a future that for many in this world is already present. God is old and senile and the angels are in rebellion. Marisol, the main character, wishes for a time, not long past, when she could "read all about the misery in the world and yet not lose a moment of my day." She claims, "I thought I'd be immune; I thought I'd be safe." Yet, no one is safe when the world is turned upside down and plunging toward chaos. The opening words of the play are shouted in alarm: "Wake up!"
Director Vega says this is a play that asks, "What does it mean to love and to be loved?" Members of the audience must answer that question themselves, while the characters in the play point the way.
I prefer the Narrow Way to Broadway
This latest offering from the Sonoma Theatre Alliance is the best show of the season, and not to be missed. It isn't comfortable, easy entertainment, but it will get you thinking about the state of the world and our tenuous hold on peace and safety. Again, we applaud the Narrow Way Stage Company for stepping out on the edge and bringing real theater to Sonoma Valley. Huzzah!
Steampunks on stage at Maria Carrillo
This weekend you can also see Kyrie Dawson of Glen Ellen in a new play at Maria Carrillo High School. This past summer, she starred in several performances of Kate Kennedy's Avalon Players excellent and memorable production of "Romeo and Juliet" at Buena Vista Winery. Kyrie was the most passionate and believable Juliet I've ever seen, giving the role a strong voice and a regal presence.
Her current role is in the comedy "Master of Two Servants" staged in a "plaza in Italy," where the cast is presented steam punk style. Check out the high school's website for more information. I'll see you there celebrating our excellent and lovely young neighbor, Kyrie.
Honoring Dave Aguilar
It's also time to buy your ticket for the City of Sonoma's Culture and Fine Arts Commission reception honoring our own master musician and community volunteer, 2013 Sonoma Art Treasure, David Aguilar. The wine and hors d'oeuvres celebration for Dave will be held on Thursday, Nov. 21 at the Sonoma Community Center, but tickets must be purchased no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13. That's tomorrow, folks, so don't hesitate to call the Sonoma City Clerk today at 933-2216.
We are proud of Dave and joyful that he is receiving this well-deserved honor in his home Valley.
Getting my peds cured at Roseann's
In the continuing story of folks old and new, dear friends and recent acquaintances in our village, I drift up the hill to Roseann's Haircutting place, next door to the Glen Ellen Laundromat.
For years, Roseann Fanucchi and her friends held court on Arnold Drive just across the street from the Glen Ellen Grocery. It was a place to stop by in the afternoon for a visit and a chat, whether it was time to get your hair trimmed or not. Roseann was always ready with a good story or two. That is where both of our boys got their first haircuts, and continued with frequent trims throughout their years at Dunbar School and beyond. Roseann is well-known in our town as a hard worker, benevolent patron and good cheer giver. Well-loved, and much appreciated, Roseann's business has thrived because of her personality, equally comforting and encouraging.
Cleaning up for Friday date night
Early on, Sharon Burns joined the shop, another haircutter, another dear friend, mom to Nicole and Michael, sweetheart to tax man Brian Burns. And so the shop continued to thrive with good workers who could make a scruffy-headed pre-schooler look like a grown-up schoolboy, and a discombobulated mom look like a fine Friday night date. Just ask my sweetie if these two aren't true.
One of Roseann's clients recently wrote on Yelp, "Roseann is the BEST! Been going to her since I was a little girl. Right in the heart of downtown Glen Ellen, it is a quaint, little shop with only a couple of chairs. The prices are unbelievably low and you will find yourself sitting in there, just chit chatting the afternoon away," which tells it all and rather succinctly, better than I could do.
Folks in our village love Roseann.
Recently Roseann added a new service in her shop. Ever since moving back to California in 2005 – Glen Ellen, specifically – Melanie Heffernan has been a client of Roseann's. Just like the rest of us, she took her children, two boys and a girl, to Roseann's. She also had her own hair cut there. As Melanie's children became settled in school, she wanted to go out and work again. Roseann suggested she get training to be a manicurist and come to work there. Roseann said she would be happy to hire her.
Melanie said she was totally surprised by Roseann's offer, and, after a little more urging and encouragement from Roseann, Melanie decided to enroll in beauty school and get her license. Melanie claims, "Roseann has a heart of gold," and most folks in our village would readily second that. Along with Roseann's encouragement, Melanie chuckles, "My family bullied me into it."
While busy daily with their home, organic garden and a few chickens, Melanie admitted that she was seeking something more in her life. And frankly, she loved hanging out at Roseann's shop, she loved helping people, and she loved creating a clean and peaceful environment.
Melanie says that manicure school was intensive, including a drive to Vacaville after the kids were carted off to school. When it finally came time for her state boards to be certified, she was as nervous as could be, "And the testers didn't make it any easier. They were intimidating. They are very strict and they made us sit absolutely still for more than eight minutes before the testing even began." Melanie passed with flying colors, but that wasn't the case for all of her classmates that day. Of 17 women taking the test, only seven passed. Of course, Melanie was thrilled to be included in the latter group. Please note that I am no stranger to the blissful joys of a deluxe pedicure. I am used to getting my ugly toes groomed once a month by Denise Weatherwax, who for years had her shop, The Beauty Sanctuary, right here in downtown Glen Ellen. Later, Denise moved her shop down Arnold Drive to the Grist Mill complex. In the past few years, she's relocated to a shop near the Sonoma Mission Inn, and is doing well there, though we do miss her in our town.
My friend, Barbara Flajnik gifted me with my first ever pedicure about 10 years ago. It was one or another significant birthday and Barbara felt I needed the lift a pedicure would provide.
Denise's massage and pressure point work on my ugly feet transported me to some other realm: totally blissful relaxation would be a suitable description.
So, when I interviewed Melanie recently and she suggested I come in, I was a bit reluctant. I'm loyal to Denise, who has transformed my misshapen feet to something suitable for open-toed footwear. A near miracle, I have to admit.
But Melanie was persuasive. The experience would give me a better chance to know her for this article. Once I settled with Melanie that I would not accept a gratis manicure and pedicure, we made the appointment for a Saturday morning.
Arriving early, I visited briefly with Roseann who was working on making Fran Gemini look as young and beautiful as ever. It was good to share a brief hello with those two and to admire the selection of photographs from Roseann's nephew, James Fanucchi, that she has displayed in the shop. They are an artistic clan; I've always admired her brother's artwork. His Glen and Ellen T-shirt that he sold some decades back remains one of our family's favorites, though at this point ours is old and tattered. Maybe time for a re-issue, Roseann?
Shortly after I arrived, Melanie poked her head around the curtain and ushered me into the back room of Roseann's shop. It used to be a storage area, but with more than a little help from Kevin Heffernan, Melanie's sweetie, and a few items from Ikea, the back room has turned into a little haven of peace and comfort. It even smells delightful in there, courtesy of Melanie's mom who creates lovely foot rubs from organic lavender and citrus. While I sat in the brand new chair that Roseann had provided for Melanie, Melanie herself, who carries just the hint of a sweet Irish lilt softening her voice, greeted me. She and sweetie Kevin moved from California (where they met) back to Ireland (where Kevin is from), and lived there for several years. Their home was in a little village, Ballingary, not much larger than Glen Ellen. In time, they returned to California, which the whole family loves, particularly Glen Ellen.
About halfway through my treatment, we were treated to a visit from Melanie's two boys and their dad. On the way to Oakland to pick up a set of shelves for Melanie's workstation, they stopped by to say farewell. Melanie, embarrassed to have her family visiting, apologized. On the contrary, I let her know that it was an added delight to meet the whole family. So Melanie invited them into the shop and introduced me to the two polite boys she and Kevin have raised. Dara is a student at Sonoma Valley High School and his younger brother (born in Ireland), Oisin (pronounced O-sheen) is 7, attending Sonoma Charter School, along with his sister, 10-year-old Violet.
My entire experience with Melanie was pleasant, restful and restorative. We chatted and she shared stories of her childhood in Tomales. Home schooled as a girl, she roamed the forests and meadows of that beautiful area, surfing at the infamous Shark Pit on occasion. I highly recommend Melanie Heffernan and know that Roseann and Sharon will be happy to introduce her to you.
Next week I'll share more news about your friends and neighbors in Glen Ellen who have recently opened new businesses. This week, I plan to check out the tri-tip and potato salad that Jerry Howlett is offering on the corner by Kevin Flores' garage.

Where was Obama? My theory is that Obama was getting a hot oil massage from Reggie Love.
Click Here if you Like this Comment 6 persons like this.
Mmmmm...Miss Sharyl has some impressive cheekbones.Anyway...the ´Where Was Obama?´ question still burns bright because all parties would logically and fervently seek him out. The military would want orders. The State Dept would want to notify him to cover their backsides. The press office and the media would want a statement. The public, darn them, would want to know the chief executive was fulfilling his oath of office.It defies every known procedure and exhausts every ounce of common sense to believe that he wasn´t informed. Unfortunately, it confirms our worst fears about him as a president, an American and a human being.Obama has been called many things: partisan, Alinskyite, liberal, leftist, Chicago thug etc. but the word even most of his critics want to avoid is COWARD - because presidents aren´t supposed to be cowards and are given more opportunities than they deserve to prove otherwise. But if you examine his pattern of behavior, especially the zeal with which he smashes ants with sledgehammers and hides behind third parties while hurling insults, no other conclusion or label is possible.

Perhaps Obama was in the same condition as Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick. We know that one doctor advised him to cut back on his drinking. What I don´t understand is why the WH didn´t fake pictures of him later.

My husband and I are extreme fitness junkies.Advanced weightlifters and body sculpters.My spouse has suffered for years with fatigue and other issues.He finally was diagnosed with Low T and Thyroid Dysfunction(no thyroid level at all nor Testerone9life threatening low) He was put on Androgel and Synthroid.Still fatigue has plagued him.He entered a fitness competition and I was looking again for more supplements to give him as I am his nutritionist.Came across these.All I can say is AMAZING.For the first time his cloudy mental fatigue is lifted.He felt amazing after only on these a few days.He, for first time I have EVER known him to,is waking up clear minded instead of still tired after good nite sleep.He has taken so many things with promise of relief of symptoms, including his Synthroid tabs, to find no relief at all.These are amazing.I have researched them from a nuttional and medical standpoint for us and will pass this along to those who might find it helpful.The dosage for weightloss is recommeded 200 mg per day taken 100 mg morning/ 100mg evening.Also note that 12 weeks is also recommended course of time for fatloss/weightloss.After 12 weeks,the dosage of 100mg per daily for maintanence dosage is recommended(however these are completely safe to take long term at higher dosage if needed).Also notable, is this pill also improves immune system,muscle mass and leaner mass (good info for fitness nuts) also improves mental clarity and focus,and fatigue.I HIGHLY recommend this supplement and I will be sticking with this particular brand.It seems to be good in purity and strenghth.Just rememeber there is no miracle pill for weight and fat loss, but these taken during a nutritional and fitness plan of action can gain additional results beyond doing so with no supplement.Typical results in taking these for weightloss are in a 12 week plan followed wisely can produce an addtional 8-11 lbs more than those not taking it will lose alone.

This was a free sample, so I thought I'd try it. I like that it comes in veggie caps. I'm almost out, so I guess I'll have to pay the next time. 7-Keto is really good for adrenal fatigue, and it doesn't have the side effects that DHEA has for me.
Ordered the trial, now waiting the full package to arrive

This was a freebie of my order and I did not expect anythign special out of it as normally being rather sceptic againsta these kind of products. But what a surprise, I definitely notice a difference after using this for 7 days. Did not felt as cold as usually (winters here are freezing), my weigth kept low and more energy and better sleep. Hence, I have ordered more of this now.
WOW, lots of energy

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The sudden death of a healthy high school senior has focused attention on unregulated caffeine powder.
The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to avoid pure powdered caffeine sold on the Internet.
A recent autopsy found that 18-year-old Logan Stiner had a lethal amount of caffeine in his system when he died May 27 at his home in LaGrange, Ohio, southwest of Cleveland.
A coroner said the prom king and wrestler had as much as 23 times the amount of caffeine in his system found in a typical coffee or soda drinker.
His mother has said she was unaware her son took caffeine powder. The prom king and wrestler was days away from graduation. He had planned to study at the University of Toledo.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Friday that it's investigating caffeine powder and will "consider taking regulatory action." The agency said it was aware of the teen's death and cautioned parents that young people could be drawn to it.
Health officials worry about the powder's potential popularity among exercise enthusiasts and young people seeking an energy boost. It's sold as a dietary supplement, not subject to the same federal regulations as certain caffeinated foods.
A minuscule amount of caffeine powder packs a punch.
Merely 1/16th of a teaspoon can contain about 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly the equivalent found in two large cups of coffee. That means a heaping teaspoon could kill, said Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
The agency said the products are 100 percent caffeine and may carry minimal or insufficient labeling. Consumers may not be aware that even a small amount can cause an overdose.
Symptoms of caffeine overdose or toxicity include rapid or erratic heartbeat, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea and disorientation.
Three weeks before Stiner's death, students at Keystone Local Schools attended an assembly on heroin overdoses and painkillers, Arbaugh, the superintendent, said. "We were addressing things we thought we should be addressing."
Next year, he said, the dangers of caffeine powder will be added to the district's drug and alcohol awareness programs.

Fasting for peace in the Middle East
Updated On: Jul 14 2014 04:48:28 PM EDT
The InterFaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit is asking the community to fast on Tuesday to solidarity for peace in the Middle East.
Inspired by the parents of the slain Israeli and Palestinian youths coming together, the council said it's calling on all faiths to recognize the day, which is a Muslim fast day during Ramadan and the Jewish fast day known as 17 Tammuz.
"Conflicts over power often hijack religious identity in order to masquerade as having a religious purpose. This does a disservice to the sacred. In metropolitan Detroit we are determined to model for the world as best we possibly can how to work on local issue as friends with a common desire to build a thriving community in which we can all share as equals. As the world continues to watch religious extremism and violence shatter lives and communities in the Middle East, local religious and interfaith leaders are working together to create solidarity and understanding here at home," the council said in a statement.

About the InterFaith Leadership Council
Most of the members of the InterFaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit were founding members of the Interfaith Partners, a group that started at a meeting on September 12, 2001. At that meeting, clergy and community leaders met in the aftermath of 9/11 to plan a joint prayer service, which was held at Detroit's Fort Street Presbyterian Church.

And so we begin a new series -- Shahs of Sunset -- capturing the lives of six Persians in Beverly Hills. Disclaimer: I, in fact, am half-Persian. My father was born in Tehran, and while I live in New York, along with half of my family, the other half does live in Beverly Hills. And attended to Beverly Hills High. I hear about the "old country" quite a bit from my father (stories I actually always feel fortunate enough to hear), and about how things changed when the Shah was overthrown. He still reads Persian magazines, and somehow found Persian television on his computer. We bond over things like Parazit, the Persian version of The Daily Show. (Jon Stewart actually had the guys from Parazit on his show last year.) And, this is semi off-topic, but I recommend reading/seeing the graphic novel Perspepolis by Marjane Satrapi which describes the darker side of that time. (Persepolis also happens to be a tasty Persian restaurant on the Upper East Side.) Sooo in a lot of ways this show hits pretty close to home, maybe a little too close to home. But, from my experience New York and California Persians can be quite different, about as different as New Yorkers and Californians in general, so I'm "learning" things right along with the rest of you! We learned a lot about the six people whose lives we'll be chronicling over the next five episodes. Let's break them down:
Let's start with Mercedes, or "MJ," Her dogs have Facebook pages, they vote for Presidents (on Facebook.) She's the single girl, whose friend, Jenn, is getting married. We go along as MJ and her friends shop for Jenn's wedding dress and bridesmaids' dresses, MJ tells her friend that marriage is pointless. Let's just say MJ is a little damaged over her parents' divorce. Her mother is also fairly critical of her, and married Jewish women. In fact, the discussion about the different views on religion, intermarriage, etc. was fascinating to me, and I'm sure it won't be the last we hear about it.

The F30 comes with far more standard equipment than the E90. F30 now has dual power seats with memory, fold down rear seats, dual automatic climate control-STANDARD at $36k. Equip an E90 in '11-12 and show me a price difference of more than $500-1000. I dare ya

I really like the art style you have chosen for the Remnant structures, really looks destroyed and old, in need of a revolution!
Just a quick question: what does the "TC" mean in the mod name?
Ok so the story and game play details are busy getting refined and made so what you read here is a more basic version of whats coming.
This is a total conversion so everything will be replaced or edited.
The whole thing starts on parallel earth +-300 years after a cataclysmic war that engulfed the earth. The end of the war was caused by a massive nuclear and extra terrestrial battle which also altered the landscape heavily including the resources.
The new and main resource is Tritanium, which is found mainly underground.
Since the great war and the final "event" ended in 2025 the world started to rebuild from what was left. Three main factions arose after much pain and suffering.
Details of factions:
The American empire:
Born from the ashes of the USA the american empire fought and united both the American continents and some pacific areas such as Japan, Australia and New Zealand.They are the largest faction when comparing territory.
- Technology consists of very flexible and balanced units, for example their basic scout or infantry support unit can have more varieties of upgrades than other factions. However the units are more expensive on average and also lack the firepower in some areas that are better suited for specialized units.
The Eurasian Federation:
They are the oldest of all factions born from the former EU, they hold on to the ideals of the old world, "unite and prosper". They are democratic and least aggressive out of the lot, but not trust worthy. The Federation's territory as of now is North Africa, parts of Eastern Europe and all of Western Europe. Though they seek to unite the world they are very quick to hate outsiders and have recently had very high tensions with the Empire.
-Technology wise they are more defence oriented, units are a bit slower but more heavily armored and some able to dig in and deploy to make fortifications. They also pride themselves in very precise and very efficient weapons systems.
The Remnant:
The true children of the wasteland, they are from the most harshly effected areas of the event. They care little for big ideologies and beliefs. Their main goal is survival and they will do anything in order to do so. It is unknown how many territories fall under the Neo Soviets and its likely they don't even know. They mainly eminate from Asia (including middle east) and parts of former Eastern Russia. They have been reported in Africa too. The Remnant are considered very aggressive and will attack at the drop of a hat. They are also very divided, the 3 armies they are split up into fight each other way more than anybody else.
-Technology: Though comparable with other factions, they gain access to tech later. For example their medium tank only comes in tier 2 wheres the others get it in tier one. They do have some good specialized units early on though. Also they are the only faction to blatantly use chemical/biological weapons.
Game play:
It will be a bit slower than original ZH and more focused on units, upgrades and their weapons. Also it will be a lot more realistic, not completely but for example weapons will have much longer ranges and maps will be larger.
Instead of Generals you pick armies with a certain Faction. Each Faction has 3 armies which will be identifiable from the camo scheme on units.
I really like the art style you have chosen for the Remnant structures, really looks destroyed and old, in need of a revolution!
Just a quick question: what does the "TC" mean in the mod name?
Thanks for the votes though I think its pointless until next year. :)
Voted for originality! :D
You got my vote, real anticipating your official released XD Make it snappy!
Thanks man. Just dealing with some life things. So its delayed for now.
Does anybody know if airfields can be made to only to accept specific units or units only it created? If I can do that then I can make airfields for the mod. Realized its a good idea since the maps can get really big.
Hey do you think you may be able to put the Rebel faction in for later versions? I know you're juggling three others right now, but maybe a later release could include them? I thought they were a cool idea. I have a few ideas on them anyway. Just wondering if it was possible.
Right now the only thing I have in mind is Version 1.0 demo. If that finnishes then I'll consider it. I like the rebels too just have to be realistic.
So possible but not any time soon.
Later not now. Got too much to think about. I need to finish the teir 1 models and coding first so I can get started on the campaign.
