As you peruse your options, keep in mind that the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that people with diabetes keep their saturated fat intake to less than 7% of total calories. For most women, that works out to 12–14 grams of saturated fat per day (based on 1,600–1,800 calories per day), and for most men, it works out to 14–16 grams per day (based on 1,800–2,000 calories per day). Selecting coffee drinks with no more than 2 grams of saturated fat per serving will help you stay within recommended limits.
The ADA also suggests limiting cholesterol intake from food or beverages to no more than 300 milligrams per day. If your low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad" cholesterol) is above 100 mg/dl, the recommendation is to limit your cholesterol intake to 200 milligrams a day. Many coffee drinks provide no cholesterol or only very small amounts. But drinks with whole milk, chocolate, or whipped cream added can contain quite a bit.
Even sodium can be a concern with some coffee drinks, with many containing 250–300 mg of sodium. If you are on a sodium-restricted diet, it pays to check the nutrition information before ordering.
When it comes to price, brewing your coffee at home has clear advantages. The average customer of a coffee shop spends about $50–$60 per month on coffee orders. Brewing a similar amount of coffee at home would total only $10–$20 per month, depending on brand and type of coffee brewed.
Milk and soy milk
Milk, fortified soy milk, and yogurt drinks can be important sources of protein, calcium, and other nutrients in the diet. Milk has the advantage over soy milk of being fortified with vitamin D, and its calcium may be more easily absorbed, as well. Until age two, children who drink cow's milk should drink whole milk. After that, low-fat or fat-free milk is recommended. People who have trouble digesting lactose (milk sugar) may be able to tolerate low-lactose milk and yogurt and yogurt drinks, which are lower in lactose.
Noncaloric soft drinks
Most diet soft drinks contain 0–1 gram of carbohydrate per 12-ounce serving and are considered free foods in a diabetes meal plan. However, a few diet drinks may have as much as 5 grams of carbohydrate per serving. In that case, if more than one serving is consumed, the carbohydrate content must be counted.
While these drinks appear to be safe, the authors of the Beverage Guidance System recommend limiting their intake to no more than 32 ounces because of the possibility that the intense sweetness of many of these drinks conditions people to prefer very sweet tastes. Hypothetically, this could lead to overeating and weight gain; some animal studies have supported this hypothesis.
Fruit juices and fruit drinks
Fruit juices and fruit drinks pack a lot of calories and carbohydrate into a relatively small serving. Virtually all of the calories in these beverages come from sugar, whether natural or added. However, not all fruit juices are created equal: Unsweetened grapefruit juice has 22 grams of carbohydrate per 8-ounce serving (1 1/2 carbohydrate choices), orange juice has 25–27 grams (2 carbohydrate choices), apple juice has 28–29 grams (2 carbohydrate choices), cranberry juice cocktail has 35 grams (2 1/2 carbohydrate choices), Cran-Apple has 35–39 grams (2 1/2 carbohydrate choices), grape juice has 38–42 grams (2 1/2–3 carbohydrate choices), and prune juice has 43–45 grams (3 carbohydrate choices). "Light" versions of some of these drinks have less carbohydrate per serving.
Most bottled juices and juice drinks list the serving size as 8 ounces (1 cup) on the Nutrition Facts panel of the label, even if the bottle or can contains 12 or 16 ounces. In those cases, if you consume the whole can or bottle, you will need to multiply the number of calories and grams of carbohydrate by 1.5 (for a 12-ounce container) or 2 (for a 16-ounce container).

$3000.00!, not for all the wheat in Saskatchewan!
Saw it here http://www.canadaammo.com/
Lol is says it can be used for hunting.... so can an M1 tank but that doesn't make it right.
All the information people need can be found here
well i'll be a.. it isn't restricted?
kind of makes me nostalgic for the days my buddies and i could go camping with our collections and set up combat lanes out in Kananaskis.
i can't help but wonder though how long before it gets "noticed" by the anti gun crowed, all we need is another Lethal weapon sequel with something as stupid as "Cop Killer" rounds for it to end up on "the list"
if you look at the last section you can see they have a catch all for any fire arm they feel should be picked on.
Restricted Firearms
If you possess or wish to acquire a restricted firearm, here is some information you should know about requirements under the Firearms Act.
Definition of a Restricted Firearm
According to the Criminal Code, a restricted firearm is:
- A handgun that is not a[*******#0000ff] prohibited firearm[/COLOR];
- A semi-automatic, centre-fire firearm with a barrel length less than 470 mm that is not a prohibited firearm;
- A firearm that can fire after being reduced, by folding, telescoping or otherwise, to an overall length of less than 660 mm; and
- Any firearm prescribed under the Criminal Code regulations [*******#0000ff]to be restricted [/COLOR](including some long guns).
but if i had 3k sitting around... yeah i would buy one.
Ouch, 5 round mags only?!(as posted in the link) And here i thought it was bad in Kalifornia with 10 rounds only. My heart goes out to my brothers up north.
One of the better looking b-pups in my opinion, even if the price tag is way out of my league.
Money couriers and police officers are the only civilians allowed to carry handguns anywhere in Canada.
I think there is maybe a handful of private bodyguards in Canada who are allowed to carry and conceal, but that is only a handful and they have to get minister approval.
I am no expert in the cesspit of laws and regulations laid down by the Canadian Firearms Centre (CFC) but if you have any questions ask the people over at http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/ (CGN)
Also the firearms dealer whose website was posted at the beginning is also a member of the CGN forum. His goes by CanAm, people interested in the Tavor can just ask him directly.

Murphy Oil Reaches Settlement with EPA Over Clean Air Act
Posted 9/28/2010 03:08 pm
Updated 2 years ago
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday that Murphy Oil USA Inc., part of Murphy Oil Corp. of El Dorado, has settled with the government over alleged violations to the Clear Air Act at two petroleum refineries.
Per the settlement, Murphy will pay a $1.25 million civil penalty and will spend more than $142 million over the next nine years to install new and upgraded pollution reduction equipment at the refineries.
Murphy will also spend an additional $1.5 million on a supplemental environmental project, according to a news release from the EPA and Justice Department.
"After several years of negotiation with the EPA and the states of Louisiana and Wisconsin, we are pleased to reach an agreement on a consent decree," Tom McKinlay, Murphy Oil USA's senior vice president of U.S. manufacturing, said in a news release.
"The terms of the agreement are similar in nature to those of consent decrees that currently cover 90 percent of U.S. refining capacity," he said.
The EPA's complaint alleged violations at refineries in Meraux, La., and Superior, Wisc. Per the deal, Murphy will pay the U.S. government $625,000, the state of Wisconsin $229,687.50 and the state of Louisiana $395,312.50.
In July, Murphy announced that it was selling its refinery business.

Silver Eagle Labs Talks Restful Sleep and Cigarette-less Nicotene on "The Balancing Act" on Lifetime TV
Viewers learn how SleepAid® and NicoSpan® strips provide Innovative Lifestyle Solutions
(Pompano Beach, FL - August 15, 2012) It is estimated that 25 million women have trouble sleeping and 22 million women smoke. Make sure to tune in to "The Balancing Act?" on Lifetime television on August 20th at 7 am (ET/PT) as Michele Lockwood, President Silver Eagle Labs talks to viewers about their lifestyle products NicoSpan® and becoming more rested with SleepAid.®
The segment is part of the Health & Wellness "Lifestyle Solutions for Better Living" series which focuses on living healthier.
During the segment, Lockwood will explain to viewers that less than 7 hours of sleep per night can lead to catching colds more easily and gaining weight. As we age, our bodies produce less melatonin, the hormone that regulates the body's natural clock.
SleepAid® is a fast-dissolving film that is placed on the tongue for fast absorption, and contains 3 mg. of Melatonin. A well rested body is essential to functioning at full tilt through busy days and SleepAid® can contribute to getting a good night's sleep.
Silver Eagle Labs also makes NicoSpan® nicotine strips, another lifestyle product. For the 22 million women who smoke, these strips can satisfy a smoker's need for cigarettes without actually smoking one. NicoSpan® is a safe, convenient strip that is also placed on the tongue and dissolves quickly. It contains no tobacco or carcinogens.
"It's been a pleasure having Michele of Silver Eagle Labs on "The Balancing Act" to discuss the two fast, effective and safe lifestyle products which can have a positive effect on a woman's daily life," says Doug Campbell, Executive VP of Programming, "The Balancing Act" in Lifetime TV.

Happy New Year dear Morningstarr* readers and welcome to 2012, a year which promises to be your last. Yes according to some old Mayan calendar we'll not see another new year, so I hope you all did plenty of celebrating last night.
2011 was another good year here at Morningstarr* Towers, we have a record number of new readers, and I've just been going back through our records to find the biggest stories from the past 12 months to see what everyone was viewing so eagerly. Here is the countdown of the top nine stories of 2011:
58,656 views
Back in May poor old Steven McCormack from New Zealand hit the news when he accidentally had a high-pressure airline jammed up his bunghole anus and blew up like a Bond villain in a shark pool.
"I felt the air rush into my body and I felt like I was going to explode,"
"You just have to burp it out, or fart it out."
Kananga should have given trumping some consideration, perhaps.

Well who'd have believed it? Nudie photos showing huge-knockered honey Kelly Brook totally stark-bollock naked were extremely popular in 2011!
If any of you dirty devil's still want a glimpse of Kelly's neatly-trimmed bush the full (NSFW) gallery can be found here: Kelly Brook nude gallery

We don't know for sure whether it is officially the world's largest nutsack, but at 100lb it can't be very far off.
Poor old Wesley Warren Jr. from Las Vegas became known for being a real life Buster Gonad in October of last year when the hapless soul appeared on the Howard Stern show begging for money to pay for testicle surgery to reduce the size of his enormous gonad-satchel and save his penis.
86,216 views
In March last year a plucky old dear from Brazil was showing off the remarkable fruits she'd managed to grow on her orchard.
With no sign of Esther Rantzen reprising the That's Life! odd-shaped fruit feature we had no option but to publish the penis-shaped fruit photos ourselves.
116,064 views
This is still quite a new story, on Christmas Day we reported the shocking story of Arun Sandhukh who died whilst being treated in an Indian hospital. His family had come to visit him as he received treatment for pneumonia, but they found him dying in a puddle of blood after rats gnawed-off his fleshy organ!
"No nurse was found at the scene and he was writhing in pain. His penis had been nibbled by rats"
118,573 views
In July we heard the incredible story of 50-year-old Rasheedan Bibi from Pakistan. Rasheedan had gone to her doctor thinking she was pregnant, but an ultrasound scan revealed that a small snake she had accidentally swallowed months previously had grown into a massive serpent entwined with her innards!
There's been no further news on Rasheedan since the summer, we don't know whether she still has the snake inside her, they surgically removed it, or she eventually just shat it out.
130,091 views
Hayley Atwell was a very popular young lady in 2011. The 29-year-old British hottie starred in one of the summer's biggest blockbuster movies, Captain America.
During her promotion of the film Hayley did a red-hot sexy photo-shoot for Esquire magazine, where you could get a proper good look at her bra!
You can see the full gallery at this link: Hayley Atwell shows off her bra
145,730 views
And the fun continued, the lovely Hayley was also in our second most popular story of 2011!
Just days after the hot photo-shoot for Esquire, Hayley appeared at the Captain America premiere in Los Angeles and did a grand job of making sure all eyes were on her, and her smashing knockers.
Check out all the images here: Hayley Atwell displays her smashing knockers at Captain America premiere
217,663 views
And it seems Hayley was kept off the top spot by a wanker.
We don't know whether Haley and her smashing knockers were connected in any way, it is possible, but in September 2011 unconfirmed reports from Brazil claimed that a 16-year-old boy wanked himself to death after tugging his tallywhacker a deadly 42 times in a row — without taking sufficient rest breaks.
Since the story broke there has been a substantial amount of controversy over whether the story is genuine, and whether masturbating 42 times in a row is even possible. It seems reasonable to think that if people doubt the capability of being able to masturbate 42 times in a row, just think of the awful consequences if someone did manage such a feat. Food for though, as we await our impending doom.

U.S. president Barack Obama calls on both sides to end NHL lockout
Two days of talks between the NHL, the players' association, and federal mediators still haven't provided any answers on how to end the lockout.
President Barack Obama addressed the stalemate in an interview Thursday with WCCO-TV in Minneapolis.
"My message to owners and to players is, `You guys make a lot of money and you make a lot of money on the backs of fans, so do right by your fans. You can figure out how to spread out a bunch of revenue that you're bringing in, but do right by the people who support you,'" Obama said. "And I shouldn't have to be involved in a dispute between really wealthy players and even wealthier owners. They should be able to settle this themselves. And remember who it is that's putting all that money in their pockets."
MONTREAL — The National Hockey League lockout isn't just frustrating fans of Canada's national sport — it's also putting a pinch on some food banks.
That's because food drives usually conducted during the holiday seasons by teams and sports bars aren't happening in some cases.
In the past, sports-themed restaurants and bars have hit up patrons for canned goods or some other foodstuffs in the charitable efforts, helping to boost food-bank supplies as demand increases.
But with no hockey, fewer people are coming out and some businesses are feeling the squeeze on their bottom line.
"We've received calls from 23 different businesses, mostly sports bars who last year collected food for Sun Youth and this year, because of the strike, they have to lay off people," said Tommy Kulczyk, director of emergency services at the Sun Youth community centre in Montreal.
"They're not in the mood to do any kind of collection."
He also noted that wives of Montreal Canadiens players had in past years organized a successful food drive at a game tapping a potential 21,000 donors.
"It's not going to happen this year."
The lockout doesn't appear to have affected organizations equally. Dany Michaud, director general of the Moisson Montreal food bank, said his organization hadn't been hurt by the lockout but he knew it had cramped others.
"I'm sure it's having an impact."
Even if there's no food collection at games, the Montreal Canadiens say they will still participate in a "Secret Santa" program that provides gifts to needy children.
Donald Beauchamp, a spokesman for the Canadiens, said there has been a "tremendous" response within the organization to the gift program this year and that players' wives who are currently in town are also contributing to it.
In Ottawa, the lockout is also having an impact. The Kanata Food Cupboard, which is near the arena where the Senators play, was cited in news reports saying the lack of hockey-related economic activity was bringing them new customers.
We've received calls from 23 different businesses, mostly sports bars who last year collected food for Sun Youth and this year, because of the strike, they have to lay off people
Food banks receive a steady stream of visitors all year but say they notice a spike in requests for help around the holiday season. Since 2008, organizations have reported seeing more people with low-paying jobs and seniors asking for help and not just the unemployed.
Food banks in Western Canada's NHL cities say they aren't noticing an impact from the hockey lockout.
Kathryn Sim of the Calgary Food Bank said there hadn't been any noticeable effects on her organization and said the numbers of people using it had dipped slightly. She said while there were might be a couple of events during the year at the Saddledome arena the food bank does more work with football's Calgary Stampeders.
"What we're wondering though is if we're going to see people who provide services within the Saddledome who are going to start coming in as clients because of their reduced work," she said, adding that so far to her knowledge that hasn't happened.
Marjorie Bencz, executive director of the Edmonton Food Bank, said the group is satisfied with efforts so far but still has work to do.
She said her organization had received a $12,000 donation from Northlands, which owns the Rexall Place where the Edmonton Oilers play, and that the food bank was at about 42% for its food donation goal and 30% of its monetary donation target. The goal is $1.1-million and 235,000 kilograms of food.
Chris Albi of the Winnipeg Harvest food bank said that, while people miss the Jets, no decline has been noticed.
"The generosity is still pouring out from the fans as it always has," she said.
She referred to a Fraser Institute survey on Thursday that suggested Manitobans are the most generous contributors to charity in Canada.
"We've been very, very blessed to have such a wonderful community here," Albi said. "They really do pull together at any time of the year."
Winnipeg Harvest is one of the food banks in Canada that has seen an increase in demand for its services. Albi said that's not just because of economic conditions but also because welfare rates have not increased and people are strapped for cash.
A lack of affordable housing often means money for food will go for rent instead
She said the Winnipeg Jets had taken part in the meal share program, where surplus food is delivered to soup kitchens, and canned food donations had been solicited at some games in the past. The lockout nixed any efforts like that this Christmas season.
"For sure, that is going to have a small effect but at the end of the day the fans still donate, they still come down, volunteer, do all the good things. That is something that we should all do to help each other out."
In Vancouver, the Canucks organization says its members have volunteered at local charities, including the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society, and joined other groups in October to host a dinner for 1,400 people from the city's Downtown Eastside.
Canucks Sports and Entertainment also hosted a holiday dinner on Wednesday for families from Canucks Family Education Centre, which works to improve literacy levels.
The Toronto Maple Leafs did not respond to a request for comment.

The Immortal Corvette: 1997-2003The new millennium model
The groundwork for the 1997 C-5 (fifth generation) Corvette was laid in 1989 when the Corvette design team began thinking of ways to make a more rigid Corvette. The 1986 convertible looked great, but the changes necessary to convert the coupe into a drop-top resulted in a weak structure that rattled and twisted.
In contrast, the next Corvette was designed from the ground up as both a convertible or a coupe. The bodylines combined some traditional Corvette themes such as the fastback top and four round taillights with a modern, aerodynamic shape. It was going to be a real looker-if and when it got built.
The Long Wait
Two things caused the incredibly long gestation period: a severe cash crunch at General Motors and the success of the previous C-4 models. The older Corvettes were selling quite well, considering that they were getting stylistically and technologically dated by the early 1990s.
GM received a wake-up call in 1992 from yet another reptilian competitor when Chrysler unleashed the Viper, a radical V-10-powered road rocket that would chew up the hottest Corvettes without breathing hard. However, like the Cobras before it, it was not a practical street machine, with few creature comforts and some rough edges on the finish. But the Viper got lots of ink in the automotive press and its wild looks were pulling prospective customers into Dodge dealerships, precisely the job the Corvette was supposed to be doing for Chevy. It was time for action.
The Corvette team knew they needed some time to develop a new car that would live up to the expectations of Corvette owners and be sufficiently improved to warrant media attention. First the team had to navigate the treacherous political minefield at GM in order to get the funding, avoiding the soulless hacks who wanted to kill the Corvette outright. Led by Corvette chief engineer Dave McLellan, the C-5 made its way through the corporate wilderness and into the light. Along the way there were casualties, as McLellan retired and was replaced by former Cadillac engineer Dave Hill.
And Worth It
The C-5 had an extremely rigid chassis courtesy of stiff side rails and a semi-backbone tunnel that the drivetrain ran through. The wheelbase was stretched to 104.5 inches, but the new Vette was shorter overall than its predecessor. The extended wheelbase gave room for a bigger interior and a transaxle in the rear. This shifted some of the weight to the back of the car and resulted in an impressive 50/50 weight distribution. Huge vented disc brakes with ABS pulled the new Vette down in short order, and power was from the 345-hp aluminum LS1 350 small block. Six-speed manual and automatic transaxles were offered. Transverse composite monoleaf springs were used at both ends to reduce weight.
The C-5 was a successful design, although the tail styling came in for criticism due to its heavy and chopped-off look. However, it contributed to the Corvette having one of the lowest drag coefficients of any sports car on the road, while offering more cargo space at the same time.
The 1997 Corvette was offered in coupe and convertible forms, but in 1998 a hardtop model was added with an abbreviated roof section. It looked like a removable top that had been bonded in place. Though not as graceful as the coupe, it was slightly lighter and less expensive.
Z06 Intro
In 2001 the coupe was transformed into the Z06, a hotter Corvette with a 385-hp engine intended to do battle with the recently announced Ford SVT Cobra Mustang that had roughly the same power. The Z06 also had less insulation and thinner glass to reduce weight to a svelte 3,115 pounds, even with air conditioning and the usual luxury features in place. The Z06 safely put the Corvette over the Cobra on performance, but it was still slower than the more expensive Viper and Porsche Turbo. By 2003 the Z06 was boosted to 405 hp and had a top speed of over 170 mph.
Chevrolet decided this would be a good time to return to serious racing. The Vipers had been dominating big GT car racing in the U.S. and Europe, so in 1999 Chevy introduced the C5-R racing Corvette to take on the big snake. Racecar shop Pratt and Miller built this radically modified version. The leaf springs were replaced with coil-overs, and squeezed in up front was a 426-inch stroker motor with 610 horsepower. In 2000, the new combination started winning, and two years later the factory Corvettes won the GT class at the famed Le Mans 24-hour race. By this time the racing Vipers had slithered away and been replaced by fearsome Ferrari 550 Maranellos.
Looking back over the last 50 years of the Corvette, it has always led the way in performance for the buck, both on and off the track. From the fuel-injected '57 to the new Z06, the Corvette has been the yardstick that other sports cars are measured against, and it doesn't look like that's likely to change anytime in the near future.

The Great One on Gingrich
ht. aunt liz
» 40 Comments
Passionate…that's what we need. Someone who is more passionate about our country than themselves. It's rare…but not impossible. I'm gonna write in Levin.+8
God bless Mark Levin.. This has been a rather depressing day, with almost all the once-"trusworthy" sites on the right posting screeds against Gingrich.
Is he perfect? No.
Is he the best of those running? HELL YES!Noteworthy Comment +31
I've notice Moonbattery, which I visit frequently, is very much anti-Newt, pro-Romney and constantly uses Ann Coulter as a reference and authority.
Are they posting Coulter's proclamations from 2008 when she declared Mitt Romney a loser and the last thing the right needed?Noteworthy Comment +21
I haven't seen that one there, but I will check it out. It's been a couple of days.+3
Thank God for Mark Levin. I agree with Czar – depressing to see that Mittens negative ads may be having an effect in Florida. Levin's piece raised my spirits a little. I pray that the Florida voters were listening.Noteworthy Comment +11
Some very deep pockets are involved. Greed is a horrible thing and waving a piss-pot full of money in front of someone who has very little (quite a few blogs just scrape by and I'm sure few make the amount of money the Super-Pacs are spending). I know from personal experience what greed will do to you and the consequenses of ignoring that little voice in the back of your mind. http://anexconsview.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/the-love-of-money/+4
It was difficult to sit through all that yelling.+3
Levin's yelling sounds like, to me, what Obama says the Islamic Call To Prayer sounds like to him.Noteworthy Comment +36
"Are they posting Coulter's proclamations from 2008 when she declared Mitt Romney a loser and the last thing the right needed?"
Haven't found it yet, but there's this one that Ann says Newt is the least conservative of all of them.
I really like Moonbattery, but I don't know what to make of it. It seems a lot of conservative blogs out there including Drudge recently are going off the deep end.+5
Thoughtful, indeed.
Pick o' the litter, for me, continues to be Ron Paul.
But, thoughtful, indeed. ….Lady in Red
PS: Newt's invocation of Nancy Reagan's "endorsement" of him in the debate, and elsewhere, was smarmy, smarmy, smarmy.0
I can listen to Mark Levin all day long…
Which would you rather have — Levin's passion vs. the banality of Dennis Miller….
Levin's passion vs. the inanities of Hannity? Levin had deep sadness when Palin withdrew from running on his show.
The only Conservative yeller is Ann Coulter – instant turnoff.+5
Levin's as confused as any of the pundits … just acts like he's not.0
I think a lot of this comes from the inner circle of the RNC believing that they can't win and looking for a way to blame their failure on others.
Romney wins the nomination and loses the general election.
-Fault of the rank and file.
Newt wins the nomination and loses the general.
-Fault of the rank and file.
Romney wins the general.
-All glory to the elites, no thanks to the rank and file.
Newt wins the general.
-Elites suck up to the media to destroy him.
Am I being paranoid? Maybe so but there's a definite "my way or the highway" campaign going on with the Republican party. I think they resent not being able to preordain a candidate and have the sheep accept it through referendum.Noteworthy Comment +10
Well, I'M voting for Newt. If there's so much effort going into destroying his reputation, then he must be a threat.
And how lame was that Maryann bullshit? It's obvious she thought she had Newts destiny in her hands. Shallow and mean. No wonder he got tired of that.Noteworthy Comment +20
Well here is some good news…
Newt is ahead Nationally against Romney
according to the latest NBC/WSJ poll.
Hang in there folks…This ain't over.
That's why they call him the great one – cuts through the B.S. and delivers a potent dose of truth.
He said his first choice is Santorum, which lends a great deal of credibility to his defense of Newt.
I've been a Newt supporter from the very beginning, but I'm more firmly committed then ever.Noteworthy Comment +14
Question: Is there a possibility that The Great Gringrich is not the right's Trojan Horse….?
….the RINO…. the Freddie Mac lobbyist…. the player, big time….?
…and, you and I are being scammed?
…Lady in Red0
@Denis Ian -
And your evidence for that declaration is….?+3
@LIR – yer bein' scammed alright – by Ron Paul.Noteworthy Comment +11
Mrs. Red,
WHAT!?!?!?!? Duplicity and manipulation emanating from an American political party!?!?!?!?!
MADAM!!! I demand you consult the nearest phrenologist immediately!!!!
Meanwhile, I need to locate my smelling salts. Your baseless and outrageous accusation has given me a serious and threatening case of the fantods.Noteworthy Comment +10
@Burrgasm – it's called a case of the vapors (just in case you're from another planet and are trying to fit in).+5
We heard from The Great One. And, now that Lady in Red has weighed in, we've heard from The Grating One.Noteworthy Comment +14
Aunt Liz…. Whatever Ron Paul is not, he is a human being, a person…. He is not coached, trained… He believes in something.
The others?
What can I say? You are obviously suffering from something.
Folk, look at the site with the kid and his wife and child from NY, now in Samaria. This is different from the US.
….Lady in Red+1
Dear fake Dianne,
Usually, fantods. a state of extreme nervousness or restlessness; the willies; the fidgets (usually preceded by the ): We all developed the fantods when the plane was late in arriving.
Sometimes, fantods. a sudden outpouring of anger, outrage, or a similar intense emotion.
The etymology of the word dates to around 1839. It was first popularized by Samuel Langhorne Clemens.
Greetings from Smart Peoples Earth.+3
Burr, I think we've been invaded by some limp wristed pole smokers. …Capt Chaos+8
@Burgasm – my name really is Dianne. I am not using a fake name on the internet. So there.
I didn't mean to start a fight. I was just making a play on the vapors/a Firefly kind of term.+5
I thought I was listening to myself at 5:55 mark.
I've said it a million times – ROMNEY WILL NOT REPEAL OBAMACARE.
You hear him say it. And I've heard him say other crap that hints that he will not REPEAL OBAMACARE!
Like, he will give states opt-outs.
I'm telling you – ROMNEY will NOT REPEAL ObamaCare. He will get into office, and with his car salesman BS talk he'll say it would be a waste of time to start over – let's fix what we've been handed.
"MARK" MY WORDS!Noteworthy Comment +16
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful thread is done;
The site has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The router is near, the modem I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady CPU, the monitor grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of L.I.R,
Where on the thread my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and drunk…
With apologies to Walt Whitman.+9
This whole Romney/Gingrich thing has me so fed up with the $$$ grubbing establishment, I just may vote for the Odumbler.
Take that dumbasses!
This needs to be the division's final moment. Get everyone who fcuking hates Romney to not vote the Odumbler out, BUT VOTE HIM IN!
Ya, I know, sounds bad and if anyone despises The Wun, it IS ME.
Consider this… The Odumbler sucks, he sucks real, real bad. We all know this.
But ya thunk it's gonna get any better with another FCUKING "made man" sitting at the helm???
Fcuk this shit.
To wit… I heard some common sense on the PROGLATURD radio show today.
Drudge, Coulter, El Rushbo, Beck, Hannity, etc.
ALL of them make more money when we are PISSED OFF.+4
"Aunt Liz…. Whatever Ron Paul is not, he is a human being, a person…. He is not coached, trained… He believes in something."
Last time I checked – each one of the candidates happens to be "a human being, a person"…HOW do you KNOW he is not coached, trained??? What NONE of you Paultards seem to get is that Paul is in fact, a politician – and has been one for a VERY LONG time. Is it the vinegar that keeps him pure and all the rest of the politicians corrupt?
WATCH him at the debates – he's as adroit as any at NOT answering a question, or dancing around it.
Sheesh.Noteworthy Comment +10
They don't call him 'The Great One' for nothing.
I'll be at Tyson's Corner tomorrow for his book signing. Got a sack-load of 'Ameritopia'.
Let y'all know how it went.+5
Mr. Pinko-
"I'm telling you – ROMNEY will NOT REPEAL ObamaCare. He will get into office, and with his car salesman BS talk he'll say it would be a waste of time to start over – let's fix what we've been handed."
Funny you should mention that. When Obamacare passed, I said to any conservative in earshot- "the Republicans will never repeal it". Then I added- "Just wait until Romney's the nominee and running on platform of 'fixing' but not repealing Obamacare".+8
I know some high school/college students who could run the country better. I just hope we can last until it's their turn. We really do have some intelligent people coming up. Let's just hope that obama, pelosi, reid, biden and all that whole bunch of rot doesn't make everything beyond repair.+6
WOW! Talk about being brought back to your senses!
Levin is the master of logic, wisdom and conservative ideology.
Still not a fan of Newt or Romney but definitely more focused on what it will take to get rid of Obama.+5
I disagree with the very loud claim that Gingrich won the house back in 1995.
I was a long time democrat, pretty much up until the election in question. And I can tell you what made me a republican and that was fricking Bill Clinton.
If he had been less of a liar I might be trying to make excuses for Barak Obama right now. So lets stop this shouting and name calling in the name of being against name calling.+2

The "Great One" was around when the Republican Revolution of '94 started and he was very involved in the Reagan White House. Levin's also a constitutional lawyer and very familiar with Newt's leadership role in the House. If he defends Newt, it's because he's experienced first-hand what it takes to get an agenda passed in Congress. I'll go with Newt, any day!+3

Rabbi Stephanie Kolin: "It is with this dual responsibility in mind that we have come together on this issue as Reform Jews from every corner of California to turn our faith into action."
Contact: Max Rosenblum or Rabbi Stephanie Kolin202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
SACRAMENTO, CA, June 16, 2014 -- As leaders of Reform CA, an initiative of the California Reform Jewish Movement for justice, we are overjoyed by the bold decision of our state leadership to invest significant and long-term cap-and-trade funding into the building of affordable homes near transit in California.
Rabbi Stephanie Kolin, Co-Director of the Union for Reform Judaism's Just Congregations and Lead Organizer of Reform CA, stated:
"In the book of Genesis, the protection of the earth is placed in our hands. And as a Jewish people whose central narrative is that of wandering without a place to call home, we have a fundamental responsibility to address the suffering that comes when one who seeks shelter can find none. It is with this dual responsibility in mind that we have come together on this issue as Reform Jews from every corner of California to turn our faith into action."Jennifer Brodkey Kaufman, a resident of Sacramento and Chair of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism, added:
"Building these homes will help reduce the number of miles traveled by cars on our state's roads and highways by over one hundred million miles each year. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will be significant, as will be the impact on the lives of so many of California's hard working families who struggle to afford their rent or mortgage."
To campaign for this decision, Reform CA leaders traveled to Sacramento to meet with over 30 legislators and the Governor's office. Local clergy and lay leaders also campaigned in their home districts and sent over 700 letters to Assembly Members and Senators. In addition, 55 California rabbis and cantors signed a petition to Governor Jerry Brown, Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, and Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins. Dozens of Reform rabbis preached about this issue from their pulpits, making spiritual and moral calls to address California's urgent need for affordable homes and a healthy environment.
We applaud the courageous leadership of Governor Jerry Brown, Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, as well as our state legislature, including Senate President Pro Tempore Elect Kevin de León. Today is a great day for California -- and for our children, our grandchildren, and the many generations that will follow as we take another step closer to the California of our dreams.
### The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.3 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 2,000 Reform rabbis.

Lexus held its global 'Taste of Lexus' event in Bahrain last week at the Banyan Tree Spa and Resort
It was attended by more than 50 motoring journalists from across the Gulf and Levant countries.
Taste of Lexus is offered as a means of creating vehicle introductions. It brings together targeted customers, members of the media and Lexus management including chief engineers for a face-to-face communication and driving experience.
The events have been successfully held in North America, Europe and Asia but it was the first time it had been staged in the Middle East.
The Lexus LS 600h L is the first fully-hybrid vehicle to be introduced in the region.
It comes with a new 5.0-litre V8 hybrid engine developed specifically for the Lexus LS 600h L that delivers the power of a V12 engine with the fuel efficiency of a V6.
The Lexus Hybrid Drive system contains the world's first all-wheel-drive electronically controlled variable transmission which is designed to handle the massive power of the V8 Lexus Hybrid Drive system within a compact design.
This innovative two-stage reduction device extends low-speed torque delivery for excellent acceleration as well as high-gear performance and efficiency.

The Engineer Reads a Book – New Prometheus Deleted Scene Still
The official Prometheus Facebook page has recently posted a still from a deleted scene. However, this specific still is not to be seen in any of the deleted scenes on the Prometheus Blu-ray or DVD, begging the question: "how much is Fox really holding back regarding removed footage"?
Some of you will watch the nearly 4-hour long documentary called "The Furious Gods – Making of Prometheus" found on the Bonus disc that's a part of the 4-disc Prometheus Blu-ray set. And in doing so you'll notice in the video that they were shooting some scenes (example: the Engineer walking outside to the life boat after the crash) that didn't make it as a deleted scene extra or in the theatrical version of the movie. Check out our Prometheus Alternate Ending discussion!
And in further support of more extra footage to be found, someone in the 4-hour documentary (editor Pietro Scalia, I believe) mentioned that the first cut of the movie was 2 hours and 30 minutes long. A fan edit was recently made where all of the deleted scenes from the Blu-ray were integrated back in. The run-time of the whole fan edit came out to be 2 hours and 14 minutes long. So who knows, maybe there will be a new set of disc releases down the line showing more deleted scenes through an official extended (or director's) cut of the movie.
Thanks to PrometheusForum user DonBarracuda for the news of this still.
And yes, the Engineer looks like he's taking a dump.

Building Design Solutions
Today's engineers need to do more, faster. As well as designing in steel or concrete, they need to optimize building performance, using stronger materials to create lighter structures while remaining sensitive to footfall and vibration issues.
With continued blurring of the distinction between structural and geotechnical engineering, building designers often need to examine how a building interacts with the ground. And with clients demanding faster design and project delivery, avoiding errors and omissions is critical.
Our suite of building design software enables engineers to move seamlessly from designing the building to analysing the soil structure interaction. The solutions offer a complete range of tools to design and analyse buildings; whether it is a tall structure or a complex iconic building.
GSA Building is a highly intuitive tool, giving structural engineers everything they need to analyse and design even the most complex building using 3D linear and non-linear static analysis, dynamic analysis and more. With this intuitive software, engineers can design structural models with skeletal frames and two-dimensional finite elements.
Working from first principles, AdSec analyses loaded sections including creep and pre-stress effects, while ADC analyses and designs multi-span concrete beams and slabs, including connecting columns. Compos offers powerful analysis and design of studded composite steel beams.
CADrebar completes our building design solutions, providing fast AutoCAD concrete detailing and scheduling.

Olympic XC Skier Kris Freeman Brings Story of Spirit and Tenacity to Campers with Diabetes
This press release is an announcement submitted by PRNewswire, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
One of the most inspiring personalities of the 2010 Vancouver Games, Olympic cross-country skier Kris Freeman sheds his skis and poles this week to kick off his 6th annual diabetes summer camp tour with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly Diabetes). Freeman, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 10 years ago at age 19, will share his amazing comeback story from coast to coast and encourage children with diabetes to continue pursuing their dreams.
After fighting back from a rare muscle disorder to compete in the 2010 Olympics in February, Freeman suffered several setbacks during his races, including a plunge in his blood sugar level that caused him to collapse while racing in the lead pack of the 30km pursuit.
"That was a disappointment,'' Freeman said, "but I think it's important to show children that even though diabetes can sometimes throw you off your game, the key is to keep on going.''
To help Freeman share that message, he and Lilly Diabetes expanded the annual camp tour this year and have created a new series of Webisodes, also released today, that chronicle Freeman's Olympic experience and personal story of perseverance, acceptance, and determination to stay competitive.
Freeman has worked closely with Lilly Diabetes for eight years, visiting more than 3,000 youngsters at diabetes summer camps, where kids take part in typical camping experiences in a setting that provides the medical and social support they need. This year's tour takes Freeman to 14 camps throughout the US, where he'll speak with campers, parents, and staff and participate in daily activities. A key question from kids at every stop is always how he has been able to compete at the highest level while managing his diabetes day-to-day. Freeman's reply is always the same:
"It's so important to know as much as you can about the disease, but in addition, consistent blood sugar management and having the support of family, friends, and a healthcare team are critical to success."
"I want to show these kids that achieving their dreams can be possible with diabetes. You don't have to shut yourself off from life. I hope my story shows that," said Freeman.
Lilly Diabetes has a long history of supporting diabetes camps and has donated $175,000 to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) camp scholarship program in the last two years alone, through the Inspired by Diabetes art campaign and the Touchdowns for Diabetes camp scholarship program. Lilly is also a long-time provider of insulin, diabetes supplies, and educational materials for diabetes camps, including more than $2 million in product donations to camps in the United States in 2009.
"We're honored to work with Kris Freeman and provide his visits to diabetes camps all over the country," said Keith Johns, Senior Director, Insulins, Lilly Diabetes. "Children with diabetes very often don't have others around them they can relate to with the disease. Kris' story and positive attitude can have a real impact on how these kids feel about themselves and their futures despite having diabetes. His dedication over the years to his sport, his own diabetes management, and other youngsters with diabetes is something we can all learn from."
Freeman's 2010 summer diabetes camp dates begin June 9th and run through August 18th. For more information about his work with Lilly, please visit http://www.lillydiabetes.com/.

What instruments are used in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, officially entitled Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Opus 67, uses a fairly standard combination of instruments in its original orchestration. The arrangement was composed and scored for performance by two bassoons, two clarinets - one in B flat and one in C, contrabassoon, two flutes, two horns - one in E flat and one in C, timpani - using G through C, three trombones - alto, tenor, and bass, two trumpets, and a full range of strings (violin, viola, cello, bass viol).
The contrabassoon, piccolo, and trombones play only in the fourth movement. In particular, the need for horns playing in different keys arises from the fact that there were no horns with valves allowing for easy transitions from their natural key to another key. Beethoven's solution was to call for the availability of instruments in both of the needed ranges.
Two Flutes, a Piccolo, Two Oboes, Two Clarinets, Two Horns, Two Trumpets, Alto Trombone, Tenor Trombone, Bass Trombone, Timpani, Violin 1, Violin 2, Violas, Cellos, Basses

2013 UPenn BSN/MSN Applicants - page 14
Hi Everyone! This topic thread is for those applying to UPENN BSN/MSN program summer 2013. I hope we can create a support network here! I will be applying to the nurse-midwifery and WHNP program and have begun writing my... Read More
- 1Nov 12, '12 by lifeismuzikI got an email about the interview as well. Totally psyched!I am confused though--did everyone get an interview? I think most but not all applicants are interviewed. Was anyone not given an interview? Is it only the most competitive applicants, or only those they wanted to ask follow up questions to?
- 1Which specialty was yours for, lifeismuzik?
I called Penn and asked if they would be emailing all week, or just today, and he said it would be throughout the week and that they literally just started today, and that there was a much larger applicant pool this year than last. He said it was pretty much rolling. When did you guys submit your applications?
- 0Nov 12, '12 by PNPhopefulCongrats to those who got interviews! When did you guys submit your application?
- 1Nov 12, '12 by morganw1December 10th is for the "popular" specialties to interview so maybe they are doing those first and so on. congrats to everyone
- 1Wow congratulations to everyone who's received notice of an interview so far! Now I'm extra nervous... and waiting
- 0Yes, CONGRATULATIONS again! What an accomplishment! I'm extra nervous now, too. I'm panicking, actually... haha. I just have to get through this week! I'm sure they'll be sending out emails all week.
- 1Oh and Hopeful I work as a medical scribe. Thank you so much for letting us know that they will be sending out interview offers all week!
- 0You're welcome! It's official... I'm obsessed with checking my email and this board. It's a problem. I'm so nervous/anxious/excited. Here's hoping we ALL hear good news this week! Good luck to all, and congratulations once again to those who heard great news already!
salinn, I think that the "popular" specialties are considered family NP, regular pediatric NP, nurse anesthesia, midwifery, and women's health. Just checked the interview schedule, and this seems to be correct...

When Diane Taylor, an MBA turned PTA mom, gives up her dreams of living happily ever after, she meets three women with absolutely nothing in common but divorce – and finds it's more than enough to be friends. Together, they start their second acts and help each other through laughter and tears to live happier ever after.
Whether you are among the millions of women who are divorced or are friends with one, Wife Goes On will inspire you with humor, heart and hope.
"A modern mix of "Sex & the City" and First Wives Club, this is serious fiction wrapped with a chick lit bow. Lehr keeps the plot moving with madcap hijinks and tender moments." ~ Publishers Weekly
"Wife Goes On is a tantalizing romp through the world of the newly divorced..." ~ Hope Edelman, Motherless Mothers
"Like Olivia Goldsmith before her, Leslie Lehr has done the impossible: She's made divorce into a winning, funny and inspiring activity...WIFE GOES ON isn't fictionalized self-help or mundane chick-lit; it's about loving, escaping and living again… Just like real life." ~ Tod Goldberg, Simplify
"Sexy and fabulous!" ~ Jerrilyn Farmer, Madeleine Bean Mysteries
When a 'friend' points out Audrey's first gray hair, Audrey slaps her. She dives into the pool, her safe haven, but the sound echoes, causing her to act on impulse and emotion. Riddled with insecurity, Audrey is plagued by the attention her husband gives to a needy woman at work. Worse, the babe is no bimbo, she is a lot like Audrey - except younger. She debates her feelings with her colorful family and friends. But when Audrey asks her husband about it, he lies.
Convinced her husband is having an affair, Audrey is flattered by the attention of a younger man and becomes drawn to him out of curiosity, sexual attraction, and finally, a vengeful desire to stay even with her husband. Then she learns the truth: her husband was never unfaithful. And worse: she is pregnant.
Audrey's betrayal is only the beginning of her descent into hell. The ultimate tragedy is like a game of dominoes played by all the characters, a game set in motion when her husband finds out….
Winner of the Pirates Alley Faulkner Prize
"...is about the new monogamy, the old infidelity, about the power we give to strangers and fragility of intimacy. It's about dreams and nightmares, betrayal and seduction. The voice is engaging, the characters memorable and moving, the subject important. You can't trust a woman in love Audrey tells us. Indeed." ~ Faulkner Prize Judge's Speech given by John Dufresne
"A sweet contemporary love story with an old fashioned message"~ Kirkus (starred)
"witty dialogue, a lean plot and a few terrific one-liners…slickly composed and smoothly engaging." ~ Publisher's Weekly
"represents the dark side of fidelity and family life. The book is suspenseful, the prose spare. Dip into 66 Laps and you may well feel compelled to race to the finish…" ~ USA Today
"beautifully written debut novel...profoundly challenges the wisdom of women returning to hearth and home to the exclusion of meaningful work." ~ Baltimore Sun
"A neatly made drama about the plight of modern marriage." ~ N.P.R: All Things Considered
"An enjoyable, quick read." ~ Booklist
"Here's a book I'd like to see end up on Oprah's list: a revenge story that takes an evil twist and, in the process, makes short order of every question about marriage that contemporary feminists have about not only the institution, itself, but the people who enter into it. 66 LAPS...plays like a great movie." ~ BookReporter.com

Back pain - What treatments work for back pain?
Back pain can make you feel miserable, but it usually gets better on its own. And there are a range of treatments that can help relieve the pain and keep you moving. Your doctor may offer you a combination of these treatments.
We've divided the treatments into those for back pain that lasts for 12 weeks or less (acute or short-term back pain) and pain that goes on for longer than 12 weeks (chronic or long-term back pain).
Key points about treating back pain
Doctors usually advise people with back pain to stay as active as possible. Resting in bed can actually make your pain worse.
Exercise can help people with long-term back pain. It's not clear whether it helps in the short term. It might be that it takes a while for exercises to improve the strength of your back.
Painkillers can help reduce back pain. Your doctor may recommend
paracetamol, or painkillers that also help reduce inflammation, like ibuprofen.
Drugs that relax your muscles may also help with back pain. Unfortunately, they can cause unpleasant side effects like drowsiness or dizziness, and you can only take them for a short time.
Having your spine manipulated by a trained therapist may help in the short term, but we don't know whether it helps with long-term back pain. There are also some rare but serious side effects to manipulation. There's a small chance this treatment could damage nerves or blood vessels in your spine.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has published guidelines about what treatments people should be offered for low back pain. See
Treatments for back pain
What treatments work for back pain? We've weighed up the evidence and looked at which treatments work best. The treatment you need may depend on whether you have short-term or long-term back pain.
Treatments for short-term back pain: By short-term pain, we mean pain that's lasted for 12 weeks or less.
Treatments for long-term back pain: By long-term pain, we mean pain that's lasted for more than 12 weeks.
What treatments work for short-term back pain?
When we talk about short-term back pain, we mean pain that lasts for 12 weeks or less. Doctors sometimes call this acute back pain. Treatment can help with the pain, and may help stop your back pain becoming a long-term problem.
Key points about treating short-term back pain
Staying in bed doesn't help if you have back pain. It won't make you any better, and could be harmful. Stay as active as you can.
Drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as
ibuprofen) can relieve back pain. But they can have side effects.
Having your spine manipulated by a trained therapist can also work. It may help you get back to work. But in rare cases, manipulation can cause serious side effects by damaging blood vessels in your spine.
There are lots of other treatments that haven't been properly tested. So we don't know if they work. They include acupuncture, back supports, steroid injections, massage, ice packs, and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation).

The drum is a member of the percussion group of musical instruments, technically classified as the membranous.[1] Drums consist of at least one membrane, called a drumhead or drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and struck, either directly with the player's hands, or with a drumstick, to produce sound. There is usually a "resonance head" on the underside of the drum. Other techniques have been used to cause drums to make sound, such as the thumb roll. Drums are the world's oldest and most ubiquitous musical instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years.[1] Most drums are considered "untuned instruments", however many modern musicians are beginning to tune drums to songs; Terry Bozzio has constructed a kit using diatonic and chromatically tuned drums. A few types of drums such as timpani are always tuned to a certain pitch. Often, several drums are arranged together to create a drum kit.[2]
The shell almost invariably has a circular opening over which the drumhead is stretched, but the shape of the remainder of the shell varies widely. In the western musical tradition, the most usual shape is a cylinder, although timpani, for example, use bowl-shaped shells.[1] Other shapes include a frame design (tar, Bodhrán), truncated cones (bongo drums, Ashiko), goblet shaped (djembe), and joined truncated cones (talking drum).
Drums with cylindrical shells can be open at one end (as is the case with timbales), or can have two drum heads. Single-headed drums normally consist of a skin which is stretched over an enclosed space, or over one of the ends of a hollow vessel. Drums with two heads covering both ends of a cylindrical shell often have a small hole somewhat halfway between the two heads; the shell forms a resonating chamber for the resulting sound. Exceptions include the African slit drum, also known as a log drum as it is made from a hollowed-out tree trunk, and the Caribbean steel drum, made from a metal barrel. Drums with two heads can also have a set of wires, called snares, held across the bottom head, top head, or both heads, hence the name snare drum.[1]
On modern band and orchestral drums, the drumhead is placed over the opening of the drum, which in turn is held onto the shell by a "counterhoop" (or "rim), which is then held by means of a number of tuning screws called "tension rods" which screw into lugs placed evenly around the circumference. The head's tension can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the rods. Many such drums have six to ten tension rods. The sound of a drum depends on several variables, including shape, size and thickness of its shell, materials from which the shell was made, counterhoop material, type of drumhead used and tension applied to it, position of the drum, location, and the velocity and angle in which it is struck.[1]
Prior to the invention of tension rods drum skins were attached and tuned by rope systems such as that used on the Djembe or pegs and ropes such as that used on Ewe Drums, a system rarely used today, although sometimes seen on regimental marching band snare drums.[1]
Several factors determine the sound a drum produces, including the type, shape and construction of the drum shell, the type of drum heads it has, and the tension of these drumheads. Different drum sounds have different uses in music. Take, for example, the modern Tom-tom drum. A jazz drummer may want drums that are high pitched, resonant and quiet whereas a rock drummer may prefer drums that are loud, dry and low-pitched. Since these drummers want different sounds, their drums will be constructed a little differently.
The drum head has the most effect on how a drum sounds. Each type of drum head serves its own musical purpose and has its own unique sound. Double-ply drumheads dampen high frequency harmonics since they are heavier and they are suited to heavy playing.[3] Drum heads with a white, textured coating on them muffle the overtones of the drum head slightly, producing a less diverse pitch. Drum heads with central silver or black dots tend to muffle the overtones even more. And drum heads with perimeter sound rings mostly eliminate overtones (Howie 2005). Some jazz drummers avoid using thick drum heads, preferring single ply drum heads or drum heads with no muffling. Rock drummers often prefer the thicker or coated drum heads.
The second biggest factor affecting the sound produced by a drum is the tension at which the drum head is held against the shell of the drum. When the hoop is placed around the drum head and shell and tightened down with tension rods, the tension of the head can be adjusted. When the tension is increased, the amplitude of the sound is reduced and the frequency is increased, making the pitch higher and the volume lower.
The type of shell also affects the sound of a drum. Because the vibrations resonate in the shell of the drum, the shell can be used to increase the volume and to manipulate the type of sound produced. The larger the diameter of the shell, the lower the pitch. The larger the depth of the drum, the louder the volume. Shell thickness also determines the volume of drums. Thicker shells produce louder drums. Mahogany raises the frequency of low pitches and keeps higher frequencies at about the same speed. When choosing a set of shells, a jazz drummer may want smaller maple shells, while a rock drummer may want larger birch shells.

Drums are usually played by the hand, or by one or two sticks. In many traditional cultures drums have a symbolic function and are often used in religious ceremonies. Drums are often used in music therapy, especially hand drums, because of their tactile nature and easy use by a wide variety of people.[4]
Within the realm of popular music and jazz, "drums" usually refers to a drum kit or a set of drums (with some cymbals) and "drummer" to the actual band member or person who plays them.
Macaque monkeys drum objects in a rhythmic way to show social dominance and this has been shown to be processed in a similar way in their brains to vocalizations suggesting an evolutionary origin to drumming as part of social communication.[5] Other primates make drumming sounds by chest beating or hand clapping,[6][7] and rodents such as kangaroo rats also make similar sounds using their paws on the ground.[8]
In the past drums have been used not only for their musical qualities, but also as a means of communication, especially through signals. The talking drums of Africa can imitate the inflections and pitch variations of a spoken language and are used for communicating over great distances. Throughout Sri Lankan history drums have been used for communication between the state and the community, and Sri Lankan drums have a history stretching back over 2500 years.
Chinese troops used tàigǔ drums to motivate troops, to help set a marching pace, and to call out orders or announcements. For example, during a war between Qi and Lu in 684 BC, the effect of drum on soldier's morale is employed to change the result of a major battle. Fife-and-drum corps of Swiss mercenary foot soldiers also used drums. They used an early version of the snare drum carried over the player's right shoulder, suspended by a strap (typically played with one hand using traditional grip). It is to this instrument that the English word "drum" was first used. Similarly, during the English Civil War rope-tension drums would be carried by junior officers as a means to relay commands from senior officers over the noise of battle. These were also hung over the shoulder of the drummer and typically played with two drum sticks. Different regiments and companies would have distinctive and unique drum beats which only they would recognize. In the mid-19th century, the Scottish military started incorporating pipe bands into their Highland Regiments.[9]
