Ask the Supplement Guru
Ask The Supplement Guru: Can Any Fruits Or Veggies Naturally Boost NO?
Vital Stats
Name: Jim Stoppani, PhD
Occupation: Creator of JYM Supplement Science, fitness coach and consultant
Website: www.jimstoppani.com/
I've heard that watermelon juice can be a great natural N.O. booster. Are there any other common fruits or veggies that can have the same effect?
Short answer: Yes, there are! But first, let's establish why that's a good thing.
If you follow my supplement advice then you likely know that I am a firm believer in the benefits of boosting nitric oxide (NO) levels. Boosting NO levels is beneficial for cardiovascular health since it relaxes blood vessels, allowing them to widen. This keeps our blood vessels functioning properly and prevents them from getting "stiff" as we age. Relaxing or dilating the blood vessels also helps to deliver more blood flow to tissues like muscle fibers.
When you train, your muscle cells create waste products that pull water into them. With greater blood flowing to the muscles, the muscle cells can draw more water into them, resulting in a bigger muscle pump. While some experts feel that the muscle pump has no true physiological significance, it can lead to long-term muscle growth because the muscle pump places a bigger stretch on the membranes of the muscle cells. This stretch signals chemical reactions that instigate long-term muscle growth by increasing muscle protein synthesis.
Relaxing the blood vessels also delivers more blood below the belt—if you know what I mean. That can be beneficial for both men and women. For men it maintains normal sexual function as you age. Translation: better erections. For women it increases clitoral blood flow. Research shows that women experiencing better blood flow to the clitoris have more enjoyable sex and a higher sex drive.
The Other N.O. Booster
The main NO-boosting supplements on the market today utilize the arginine-nitric oxide pathway. That is the pathway where arginine is converted in the body to nitric oxide (NO) with help from the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which catalyzes the reaction. Supplements such as arginine, citrulline (which is converted in the body to arginine), and pycnogenol (which increases the activity of NOS) all use this pathway.
This is an effective pathway to target. A recent study reported that subjects consuming arginine 30 minutes before a biceps workout increased biceps blood volume during the workout by more than 100 percent. What's more, research suggests that taking citrulline results in even higher blood levels of arginine and NO than an identical dose of arginine.
Yet there is another pathway that can also lead to higher NO levels in the body: the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway. Nitrates are found in many plants. One of the richest sources of nitrates is the beet. When you consume nitrate (NO3-), such as from beets, bacteria in the mouth cause it to lose an oxygen molecule and become nitrite (NO2-). The nitrite then travels to the bloodstream, where it loses another oxygen and becomes NO.
The Power of Beets
Supplementing with nitrates, usually by consuming beet juice or taking a beet (beta vulgaris) extract, has been suggested in numerous studies to enhance exercise performance. The purported benefits include greater exercise endurance, greater power output, and less fatigue. This means that during a typical weightlifting workout, it could improve your strength, allow you to complete more reps with a given weight, and allow you to better maintain rep ranges and strength toward the end of the workout. All of this can help increase muscle strength, muscle growth, and muscle endurance.
Consider supplementing by taking about 500 mg of beet extract. Or, look for supplements, such as pre-workout supplements, which provide beet extract along with other supplements, such as arginine or citrulline which use the arginine-NO pathway. One of the best times to use these supplements is 30-60 minutes before workouts. Another ideal time would be about 30-60 minutes before sexual activity to boost your performance.
A recent study found that using an antiseptic mouthwash such as Listerine killed off a significant number of the bacteria in the mouth that convert nitrate into nitrite. This reduces the NO produced from sources such as beets. So if you're using beets or a beet extract product to increase NO levels, consider ditching the antiseptic mouthwash, at least before taking any nitrate source.
Your training partner may not like it—but your muscles will.

Hey JIM ! What about the nitrite turning into nitrosamine inside the stomach ? Should we worry about that or that would only happen with nitrite salts such as sodium nitrite used in bacon and some meats as a preservative ?? Thanks !! Good article as aways !
The inorganic nitrates in vegetables you shouldn't have to worry about too much, but research is still on going.
The nitrite salts...those are the worrisome ones. There was one death I know about from an athlete via methemoglobinemia through supplementing with them instead of the inorganic nitrates.
Definitely am a believer in the pre-workout boosting power of beets. I sometimes juice one small beet, two carrots and mix in 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper as a pre-workout booster. Feels amazing every time.
You had me at cayenne pepper. I'll give this a try. Thanks!
I take my pre-workout (Bluebonnet's Extreme Edge) which contains all of the typical beta alanine, creatine, BCAA, arginine type materials basically every workout. I add a scoop of BCAA powder to it as well. For the past few weeks I've been adding a teaspoon of organic beet juice powder to it and I have to say I feel the difference. Go beets!
On a side note, sugar beets are a HUGE GMO crop. You're probably looking at 95% of all beets being GMO based. If you want to try the beet method, go organic!
Mother Nature's preworkout. I'm going to give this a try, ChaseShadows.
I've been taking it for years and It really does what Jim said it does. I turn 56 and feel 30 years younger.
My pre-workout:
Watermelon coffee, Never had a more intense workout. Not sure if does anything as far as a pump but I wasn't looking for one. I will have to give beets a try.
A slice of watermelon and a cup of coffee, or watermelon-flavored coffee? Is there such a thing?
That's probably because watermelon is high in citrulline, which helps reduce muscle fatigue and increase blood flow. And the caffeine would obviously help :P
Maybe some beet coffee next?
Nevermind, that sounds disgusting.
yes watermelon and a coffee haha. And esto28 it was always any piece of fruit before my workout until I tried watermelon for the reasons mentioned by ObeseCamelz. Fruit is still good in my opinion if you do not like a lot of food in the stomach. I found peaches to be amazing oddly enough but that one time could have been attributed to anything.
Another great article by the man! but, hey, what about water melon? doesn't cut it in front of beets?
another great article Dr. Stoppani. I really liked the L-Carnitine one you wrote too. Keep 'em coming. :)
want something to go along with beets- try spinach and kale, both increases endurance and delay muscle fatigue
Beets huh? Guess I'll be picking some up tonight on my way home.
I've been drinking a 12oz can of V8 with my pre-workout meal, not sure how much beet extract is in it but it has beet juice.
Fantastic! I have been looking for a natural pre-workout booster as I do not use typical supps anymore..just good healthy foods, lots of water and cardio acceleration! Thanks Doc!
Love beets! I actually feel the difference these days, and I'm eating a cup of beets every morning!

(CNN) -- Women's Olympic shot put champion Nadzeya Ostapchuk has been stripped of her gold medal after testing positive for a banned substance.
The Belorussian won her country's only track & field gold, but the title will now go to New Zealand's Valerie Adams after two of Ostapchuk's urine samples contained traces of metenolone.
"The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has disqualified, withdrawn the medal from, and excluded Belarus's Nadzeya Ostapchuk from the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London," read an IOC statement.
"The athlete was first requested to provide a urine sample for a doping control on August 5. She competed the next day in the women's shot put event, where she placed first, and was asked to provide a sample straight after her competition.
"Both samples indicated the presence of metenolone, which is classified as anabolic agent under the 2012 prohibited list."
Russia's Evgeniia Kolodko has been promoted to the silver medal position, while China's Lijiao Gong has been awarded bronze.
British discus thrower Brett Morse was forced to apologize last week after making offensive comments about Ostapchuk and suggesting the 31-year-old had been doping on Twitter.
Alex Schwazer, 2008 gold medalist and one of the favorites for the men's walking events in London, admitted to doping last week after recording a positive test.
Ostapchuk's positive test came just hours after London bid farewell to the Games with a closing ceremony which featured iconic British acts such as the Spice Girls and The Who.

CHARLOTTE After listening to the Carolina Panthers talk about their offense in the aftermath of Saturday night's exhibition, I heard a lot of words that sounded semi-truthful and one word that was exactly right.
The Panthers beat Tennessee 15-7 Saturday on the strength of a gorgeous 91-yard kickoff return for a touchdown from Mike Goodson and a defense that has been utterly spectacular for three games in a row.
Carolina's offense, as usual, had little to say. That offense has produced exactly zero TDs in three exhibitions. It has had 14 possessions in each of those games, which means it rests in an 0-for-42 TD slump.
That's more than bad. That's awful.
And yet the Panthers publicly critique themselves so gently it's as if they are talking to their own grandmother, trying to find something good to say about the totally inappropriate dress she's about to wear to a wedding.
Let's talk first about the semi-truths. Panthers coach John Fox said after the game about his passing offense: "Two of our three biggest playmakers [Steve Smith and Jonathan Stewart] haven't played a snap in the preseason, and one of those is a wide receiver. We are a very young team overall, particularly at the wide receiver position. I think we still have a lot of work to do, but I think there was improvement tonight."
From quarterback Matt Moore: "Just moving the ball, there was some good execution. … So we're headed in the right direction. We're getting better each week."
From offensive tackle Jordan Gross: "We've got a lot of room to grow."
This was a postgame locker room in need of the brutal honesty that Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown spreads around for the Charlotte Bobcats on a daily basis. Saying the Panthers' offense has room to grow is like saying the current real-estate market could improve a tiny bit.
The word that sounded exactly right to describe this offense also came from Moore, the struggling No. 1 quarterback. He was speaking in particular about his overthrown deep ball to an open Dwayne Jarrett in the first quarter that should have resulted in a 42-yard touchdown.
"There are some throws that I think I missed that are unacceptable," Moore said, using that one to Jarrett as an example.
Yes. That's the word.
That's what the Panthers' offense has been so far. I don't care who's not playing and how far ahead NFL defenses are of offenses in August (and they usually are). An 0-for-42 streak is unacceptable. DeAngelo Williams rushing nine times for 13 yards Saturday night – behind 80 percent of the first-string offensive line – is unacceptable. The Panthers' combined quarterback rating of 51.1 in the preseason is unacceptable.
I hope, behind closed doors, the offense understands all this and is talking in harsher terms to each other. I would think it is.
Because the exciting part about this Carolina team is the defense has been outstanding. It has 18 sacks already and has allowed only 184.7 yards per game.
It's a defense that looks as fast as any Panthers defense I've seen in 16 seasons of watching this team. It looks like a playoff-caliber defense.
But it's not going to be able to tow the offense along like an anchor for four months.
Help is coming in the form of Smith and Stewart, but that's not a magic pill. The Panthers need more plays like Brandon LaFell's acrobatic one-handed catch against the Titans, fewer penalties (11 for 95 yards Saturday) and more clutch play on third down.
So far, the defense has been remarkable. The offense has been unacceptable. And all that 50-50 stuff will ever get you in the NFL is another 8-8 team.

Portable Safari for Windows
Ethaniel - November 15, 2007 - 4:35pm
Recently, Apple has released the third beta of Safari, now compatible with Windows. Is there any possibility to convert this browser into a portable version?
( categories:
I doubt it...
cause its not stable yet (only beta) and seems to have some rendering problems.
"What about Love?" - "Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate." - Al Pacino in The Devils Advocate
Before anyone else says
please search:
There was more posts all with simmilar answers... it isn't open source, so portable versions arn't possible from this site. As I said before maybe apple will make it portable one day, but not today.
OliverK> you don't live on a cow
Safari is a closed source application. Anyone packaging it portably is breaking the law.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
So that means...
that Developer portable.bg on Softonic is breaking the law.
Update: Links Removed!
PHP5, MySQL, Apache, Ruby, Batch, EXE, CRX (Chrome Extensions), AU3(AutoIT v3), JAVA, JAVAScript, INI, INF, Flash, Visual Basic, C, C++, Turbo C, C#, BASIC, Pascal.
I asked the same thing and in fact I was the first person to ask on this forum. It aint happening.
I wish people would learn how to search before asking stupid questions...
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say will be exaggerated or mis-quoted and used against you.
Drop the subliminal insult, ok?!?!
If it's so hard and bothersome for you to answer a question, WHAT IN THE BLODDY HELL ARE YOU DOING IN A FORUM? I thnak John and the others for the answer, but due to people like you, I'm leaving this forum. Good riddance.
It wasn't subliminal ...
and good bye.
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
Well Check this one
I'am So sorry for this, really i don't know about legal and ilegal portable software. please give me the rule to make some portable apps. Thank's
loadfoo, please edit your post to remove the download for the illegaly modified and packaged copy of Safari.
not in portable apps form
but thinstalled and therefore portable. and i can't see how this wouldn't be a legal modification.
he was asked to remove the link, Safari is closed source (or at least contains closed source components), so repackaging it is illegal. please edit your post and remove the link.
if it was an illegal link when one person posted it, and they were asked to remove it, reposting the illegal link is rather frowned upon in these forums
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
He's right.
He's right.
-not that I want portable safari.
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
safari 4 may be the breakthrough
there's a lot of speculation that they might make the new safari 4 browser open-source maybe then will we see official portable versions but the last link works quite nicely for portable safari
EDIT: well, the link did work work until it was removed XD
The link to the illegal package was removed over a year ago. Please don't resurrect dead topics.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Check this out...
O.K. Well, sue me if you guys don't like my idea, but I found this website called "Oldapps.com" and it's got an old version of safari. Well... The newest version they got on there is only 19 megabytes. I think that you could just install it onto your drive. Wouldn't that be easier? Here, i'll leave a link. Tell me what you think of this idea:
P.S. The Safari isn't really compatable on widnows 2000 or lower, and i've got a 2000, roflmfaool.
"Welcome to the Internet, where men are men, women are men, and children are the FBI."
"It is better to take what is not yours, than leave it there, neglected..."
It's still not open source software. This site currently deals in open source software only.
Edit: The link in the previous comment goes to a site that contains more closed source software. Possibly Illegal too?
Open Source...., the choice of a GNU generation.
Note: John's comment states Safari is a closed source application. Anyone packaging it portably is breaking the law.
He is referring to portablized versions as being illegal.
The site referred to above seems to only be linking to Old versions of the original app, which it lists as Freeware.
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?

There is a strong consensus that prevention and early intervention for mental and substance use disorders is a highly effective public health strategy. Are we reaching young people with effective prevention messages? For young people and adults who show signs of having a mental or substance use disorder, are we able to intervene effectively and prevent a major problem from developing? What role can family and friends play in prevention and early intervention for mental and substance use disorders? One of the more promising developments in this field is the emergence of defined screening techniques to detect problems. When integrated into primary health care systems, school settings, and community-based programs, screening can lead to early interventions that can help individuals before problems arise. This show will examine the use of screening techniques in behavioral health care and point to the positive elements of screening, prevention practices, and intervention in the context of health reform.
Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.

text: January can be little depressive, so few friends and i decided to take it by the horns and went out last Friday. The pub had just re-opened after Christmas and was buzzing with people. Their tapas menu was still a little short - but considering it was their first open day, it still had the all time favorites serrano ham croquettes and manchego cheese spring rolls. One of my friends had rabbit pappardelle, and I had a little 'dip bread in gravy' in her plate - delish! Anyway, long story short - I will be back time and time again, food never disappoints and the staff are super cool and friendly...good looking too :)

Pacific's annual Safe Trick-or-Treat event brings thousands of costumed children and their families to the Stockton campus each year to enjoy the fun
Safe Trick-or-Treat volunteers and donations needed
It's that time again, dig out your costumes and decorations, because Pacific's 14th Annual Safe Trick-or-Treat comes to the Stockton campus on Wednesday, October 24!
Pacific's largest community service activity is designed to provide a safe environment for families to enjoy trick-or-treating. During the event, members of the Pacific community will hand out candy to children as they pass through campus office buildings and residence halls on guided trick-or-treating tours. In addition, student clubs and organizations host an outdoor carnival complete with prizes and more candy. Last year, an estimated 4,000 children and adults took part in the trick-or-treat tours and carnival.
The event takes place from 4 to 7 pm. Guided tours will begin at the Atchley Clock Tower on South Campus and end at the carnival on the DeRosa University Center lawn. All Pacific faculty, staff and students are welcome to bring their families and children to the free event.
We need your help
Every year, this event is an overwhelming success due to the dedication and partnerships of the Pacific community. The event planning committee is looking for Pacific departments and facilities to serve as trick-or-treat stops, and are encouraging staff and offices to decorate their space and provide candy for the children. Tours depart every 10 minutes and will continue until 6:15 pm to ensure even traffic flow through the tour stops. In addition to tour stops, we have several volunteer positions available as setup crew, cleanup crew, tour guides and floaters. Donations of candy or prizes are also appreciated.
This is a great way to interact and serve families in the local community. We hope you will join us for this wonderful event.
Complete the appropriate form below or contact Jennifer Low at email@example.com if you would like to participate or need additional information.
Costumes for Children in Need
The Pacific Community Service Committee also collects costumes for children whose families can't afford them. New or slightly used Halloween costumes and/or costume accessories donated are distributed through the Transitional Learning Center, Haven of Peace, and Gospel Center Rescue Mission to ensure every child has an opportunity to be included in this year's celebration. Costume donations can be brought in until October 19 to the Office of Student Life in Hand Hall. or contact Denia Anderson 209.946.2365 for drop-off locations or additional information.
Additional drop-off locations are also needed for costume donations. If your office would be willing to serve as a collection point, please email email@example.com.

Delta Sigma Theta Makes $15,000 Donation to CCC
CLARKSDALE Members of the Clarksdale-Marks Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., presented Coahoma Community College President Dr. Valmadge Towner with a check for $15,000 recently. The money, generated with the help of legislation passed in 2002 by the State of Mississippi, allowed the organization to have distinctive automobile license plates available for purchase.
The sorority formed a tag committee consisting of chapter presidents from the northern and southern parts of the state that decided that the funds raised through the sale of the license plates would be donated to the five Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) throughout Mississippi.
Several Deltas work on the campus of Coahoma Community College, and spokesman Yvnonne Stanford said that they are proud for their automobiles to bear the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., tags and they are even prouder to be a part of the, Driving Force Behind Education.
The Deltas have demonstrated the original mindset and origination of sororities and fraternities, the idea of giving back, said Towner. This philanthropic gesture of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., is appreciated and needed immensely. Our students have vast financial needs and this monetary gift will aid many of them in continuing their education here at CCC.

In review: Bob Probert's Tough Guy
Posted by Kent Wilson under Editorial on Sep 23, 2011
I had some interest in reading Bob Probert's autobiography Tough Guy before the events of this tragic offseason given his *ahem* interesting career path. The passing of pugilists Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak this summer provided an added impetus for me to pick up the book, however. I wondered if Probert's own experiences would perhaps give me a glimpse into the tribulations enforcers have to face, as well as their potential impact on their lives outside of the rink.
Probert and co-author Kirstie McLellan Day provide plenty of details of his experiences both on and off the ice. The book is liberally peppered with discussions and anecdotes from his career as a player, including details from his junior days all the way up to contract negotiations with the Red Wings and Blackhawks. The tone and feel of the prose is informal and has the feel of a friendly discourse with Probert over a few beers (he drops more than one F-bomb). It mostly works, although the book sometimes suffers for this style – the constant weaving in and out of subject and phase makes reading somewhat erratic and disjointed. So while stories about pranks in the locker room or why Probert called Sheldon Kennedy "Mo Melly" are amusing and humanizing in isolation, they often act as figurative speed-bumps when they interrupt sections on the direction of his career, problems with the law and struggles with drug abuse.
On Enforcers, Depression and Risk Factors
Posted by Kent Wilson under Editorial on Sep 01, 2011
The NHL landscape has been marred by tragedy this offseason with the recent deaths of Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and now Wade Belak. It's possible that their passing in such close proximity is entirely coincidental and a mere artifact of chance alone. Sometimes unlikely occurrences don't necessarily carry graver implications.
A closer look at the Daymond Langkow trade
Posted by Kent Wilson under Analysis, Editorial on Aug 30, 2011
The summer doldrums were disturbed yesterday by a rare late-August swap. The Calgary Flames traded aging two-way center Daymond Langkow back to the Phoenix Coyotes for speedy winger Lee Stempniak. The deal cleared some $2.6 million in cap space for Calgary, while the Desert Dogs were desperate for more center depth beyond Martin Hanzal.
Flames Signing of Scott Hannan a Bargain
Posted by Kent Wilson under Analysis on Aug 14, 2011
The Flames have been one of the quieter teams in free agency this year, mostly re-inking their own pending UFA's and little else. In fact, Jay Feaster's one year, $1 million signing of Scott Hannan on Saturday probably stands as the club's biggest off-season acquisition.
On James Sheppard and how not to develop youngsters
Posted by Kent Wilson under Analysis on Aug 07, 2011
The San Jose Sharks recently acquired James Sheppard from the Minnesota Wild for a third round pick. Wild fans are positively giddy about the deal. Sharks fans are somewhat confused.
And for seemingly good reason. As Bryan Reynolds notes from the link above:
One season in the Q that showed any real promise, ninth overall pick, thrown into the NHL without earning the spot, development completely ruined by the HWSRN regime, a career on a downward spiral, all fittingly punctuated by an ATV accident during a training trip to Colorado that ended his make or break season before it ever started. James Sheppard has been a punchline in Minnesota for nearly seven years, and Chuck Fletcher got something of value in return for him.
Well done, Mr. Fletcher. Well done, indeed.
To Sharks fans, we offer our sincere thanks, and our deepest sympathies. What your general manager sees in James Sheppard escapes me. Six points in 64 games in his last season played, with no real hint at anything more before that crash does not tell me that there is lighting in that bottle. If Wilson wanted a helium balloon on the ice, I'm thinking a trip to the local party supply store would have been cheaper.
The bolded portion can't be overemphasized. James Sheppard stands as singular case study of how not to develop young players or leverage an entry level contract in the NHL.
Weber's Future in Nashville Doubtful
Posted by Kent Wilson under Analysis, Editorial on Aug 05, 2011
The recent $7.5 million contract awarded to the Predators Shea Weber is a major blow to the Nashville organization for a number of reasons. When Weber straps on the skates this October, it will mark the first time the club has iced a player with a cap hit north of $4.5 million (aside from 17 games of Peter Forsberg in 2007…which obviously doesn't count).

In McConnell v.

Baby Veronica custody case not over yet
Published by the Tulsa World, Thursday, July 25, 2013
By Michael Overall
After a 19th century U.S. Supreme Court decision that set an important precedent for tribal sovereignty, President Andrew Jackson supposedly mocked the chief justice. "John Marshall has made his decision," he reportedly said. "Now let him enforce it." That quote came to mind when Jason Aamodt, an expert on tribal law, thought about the latest twists in the Baby Veronica case. "South Carolina has made its decision," said Aamodt, an assistant dean at the University of Tulsa's law school. "Now let's see if they can enforce it."
The South Carolina Supreme Court announced Wednesday that it wouldn't reconsider last week's order to take custody away from Veronica's Cherokee father.

I don't like to eat alone. Ok. That's not exactly true. I'll snack, by myself, all day long. I'll nibble on things as I cook them. I'll feast on whatever fruit happens to be in the fridge. But, I don't like to dine alone as in sit down and have a full meal by myself. Eating out or staying in it doesn't matter. Because of this fact, I tend to skip lots of meals without really thinking about it, only to find myself wondering a few hours later why I feel so wonky. Usually, it's not a problem. Missing lunch is more than easily made up with random snacking and my husband and daughter are usually around for dinner. But, then there are those days like today. Lunch, well, it didn't really happen. And the snacking? Well, it was pretty lame. A few bites of Rosemary flat bread crackers and two succulent chunks of pineapple. Oh, and then I went for a run. Not sure what I was thinking there. So, when dinner time rolled around, and the rest of the family was out doing other things, I knew something must be done. I must cook. For myself. Ack. A quick look in the fridge though, and I excitedly found that I had the perfect left over ingredients to make one of the cute individual lasagnas featured in Bills Food. Or, at least a close derivation. The best part - it was just 30 minutes to the perfect dinner for one. And it is delicious enough that I'm glad I don't have to share it with anyone. (I say as I wipe the sauce off of my face... typing and eating = hard)

Your Lowrey Organ
Your Lowrey journey begins with a purchase of a new or pre-owned instrument, and sometimes that can sound rather daunting. You will naturally have concerns that your new purchase may be too complicated for you to operate or that it may not be able to get the best from it. These are natural concerns however the Allens team is here to help.
On this page you will find special hints and tips for your Lowrey organ, and special bonus material for our Lowrey family. These are updated on a regular basis and will grow into a wealth of information to enhance your music.

Summer 2014 Hints & Tips
Graceful Gliding
Lowrey organs first pioneered the Glide (or pitch bending) feature on their organs with a popular Hawaiian Guitar tone. This added incredible realism to this instrument plus also adds to Saxophone, Trombone and Violin tones.
In order to create the right effect you need to use the Glide feature in the correct way and, of course, in the correct place in your music. Try this example for which you will need your black Lowrey songbook.
Open the page to the popular song Aloha Oe
Select the Hawaiian style and you should hear the Hawaiian Guitar on the upper keyboard – if not select this voice from the panel/Genius.
Play the song through and note where the long semibreve/whole notes are – these have a value of 4 beats.
To apply the Glide effect you need to kick and hold the left kick switch on the volume pedal. Play and HOLD your melody note straight after then let go of the kick switch.
You will immediately hear the effect. Do this on each long 4 beat note. It takes a little time to get used to the technique but it is well worth it!
Extra Tip: If your Lowrey model has a touch bar, use the Feature (clear) button to set this up. N.B. if you have two touch bars the right one does this by default.

MeHg uptake into brain tissue, an effect that was reversed by administration of a neutral amino acid. The author concluded that MeHg was transported across the blood-brain barrier by an amino acid carrier. Subsequent studies by Kerper et al. (1992, 1996) and Mokrzan et al. (1995) showed that the amino acid carrier is an L (leucine-preferring) amino acid transporter and that MeHg is released from the brain capillary endothelial cells into the brain interstitial space as a glutathione complex.
The brains of both humans and experimental animals (rodents and primates) exposed in utero to MeHg show changes in neuronal migration and distribution patterns, cell loss, low neuronal abundance, and microcephaly, changes consistent with effects on the microtubular cytoskeleton and inhibition of cell-cycle progression (Burbacher et al. 1990). The effects of MeHg on mitotic activity and mitotic spindle function both in vivo and in cell culture have been characterized (Imura et al. 1980; Rodier et al. 1984; Brown et al. 1988; Wasteneys et al. 1988). It has been shown that MeHg directly binds to tubulin and inhibits microtubule formation (Vogel et al. 1986). Ponce et al. (1994) conducted in vitro studies using primary embryo neuronal cells to characterize MeHg's effect on cell cycling and its role in developmental toxicity. Exposure at concentrations of 2 µM MeHg causes G2/M phase cell-cycle inhibition, and at 4 µM, all cell-cycle phases are inhibited, suggesting that the cytoskeleton and mitotic spindles might be particularly sensitive to MeHg.
Two recent studies have further characterized steps in the mechanism by which MeHg affects the cell cycle in embryos. Ou et al. (1997) used primary rodent embryonic neuronal cells to determine mRNA expression levels of two genes involved in a checkpoint pathway of cell-cycle arrest, Gadd45 and Gadd153, in response to MeHg. Exposure at 2 µM caused both GADD45 and GADD153 mRNA levels to increase. The authors concluded that activation of these Gadd genes could be a mechanism by which MeHg causes cell-cycle arrest in embryos. The same laboratory investigated the involvement of p21 (a cell-cycle regulatory gene of a checkpoint pathway of arrest of G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle) in primary embryonic cells exposed to MeHg (Ou et al. 1999). The embryonic cells responded to MeHg exposure with a concentration-dependent increase in p21 mRNA, indicating that activation of cell-cycle regulatory genes could be one mechanism by which MeHg disrupts the cell cycle in embryos.
Vitamin A (retinol) and the structurally related retinoids have a special place in developmental toxicology, both currently and historically. Nutritional deficiency of vitamin A was the first chemical manipulation to produce congenital malformations in a mammal (Hale 1933) and thus began the whole field of experimental mammalian teratology. Now, the biologically active metabolites of vitamin A, the retinoic acids (RAs), and their synthetic derivatives have become

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Colorado's Compassion; Ending the Stigma Campaign (World AIDS Day 2012)
On World AIDS Day, 2012, the state of Colorado launched an anti-stigma and discrimination campaign. This endeavor has been a community effort spearheaded by individuals and organizations who are coming together to begin open and honest conversations about HIV stigma, the barriers it creates to healthy discussions around risk, testing and accessing care. Our goal is to also engage the positive community in honest conversations about HIV as well, because we also recognize that people living with HIV also have internalized stigmas that need to be brought to the forefront and addressed.
Thus the Compassion-Ending the Stigma Campaign was born. This is an educational campaign that asks people to take a survey that can be found on our website or face book page. The survey will be available through-out the month of December and will be available in both English and Spanish. The survey will measure an individual's stigmatizing beliefs. With the information derived from the survey, Colorado Organizations Responding to AIDS (CORA) will take the data and share it on a national level.
As an African-American woman living openly with HIV, I have experienced stigma numerous times over the 26 years of my diagnosis. A very vivid memory is of a dear friend of mine who became my ally and an HIV educator to her mother, about my status. My friend is primary caregiver to her two beautiful grandsons. I have had very honest and open conversations with her about my diagnosis over the years, because in my journey I have learned that this chronic health condition of HIV is nothing to be ashamed of. It no longer has any power to dictate my actions, feelings or beliefs about myself. With this as my state of being, I have been able to share my truth (and fears) with my friend. So when her mother asked her if she was afraid to have me around her grandsons, for fear that I would transmit HIV to them, my friend very confidently was able to share with her mother that me and my health condition was nothing to be feared, and the reasons why.
I believe this is a responsibility we all have as people living with HIV. It is our hope that on World AIDS Day and beyond, that those in the Colorado community who will be speaking at, or engaged in a World AIDS Day event, will incorporate Compassion-Ending the Stigma Campaign into their message, and to encourage their audience to take the survey.
May we continue to embrace and rejoice in our truth, and to share that truth so that others will feel comfortable sharing their truth, and/or fear about being tested, as well as their fears and convictions about their HIV status.

She's so lovely!
I wish I could draw fairy wings!
Ohhhh. If only I could! It's hard with a mouse.
I wonder how I'd do that traditionally, and achieve that glowing and stunning effect.
Oh, yeah, painting with a mouse is tough!! Traditionally I'd say... try pastels or chalk on black or dark-coloured paper? I drew a fairy like that once and it worked pretty well. Oil paint would work too, but that's messy and takes ages. Oil pastels, though... or prismacolor pencils if you can get them.Jul 25th, 2011 Reply
I'd try the pastels on dark board! I hope I could get that effect too... or maybe atleast near it. Thank you so much!Jul 26th, 2011 Reply

|Uni-HH / CS. / TAMS / Java / jfig
Welcome on the homepage of jfig, a 2D graphics and diagram editor based on the FIG file format. The user-interface of jfig is based on xfig, a popular graphics editor for the X11 window system. A short history of the jfig development is included at the bottom of the News page.
The jfig software is written in the Java programming language and can be used on notebooks, PCs, and workstations running Windows 2000/XP, Mac OS X, OS/2, and most versions of Linux and Unix. Due to the support of LaTeX-formatted text objects, jfig and xfig are often used to create diagrams for LaTeX and pdflatex documents. For the current status and frequently asked questions about jfig, see the FAQ.
User-interfaceClick on the thumbnails below to see a few screenshots of the jfig editor, running on Linux, Windows XP, and Mac OS X. You can also change the appearance via the Java 'look-and-feel' mechanism:
Key points of the xfig (and jfig) user interface are the clever use of a three-button mouse, bindkeys for fast command selection, a magnetic grid for object placement, easy attribute updates, and compound objects.
While the user interface allows for very fast editing, its mode-oriented concept differs from most simple drawing programs for Windows or the Macintosh, and might require some practice to get used to.
Of course, jfig provides less features and effects than state-of-the-art drawing programs like Corel Draw or Illustrator, but the set of object types, object attributes, and editing commands should be sufficient for many types of drawings. Please check the gallery page for some typical figures. Most functions of xfig 3.2.3 are also implemented in jfig, but a few (e.g. embedded Postscript images) are still missing. For good performance, at least a Pentium-III system with 256 MBytes of memory and a recent Java virtual machine should be used.
Software architecture and main applicationsFrom a software point of view, jfig is not just an editor, but rather a class library for 2D-graphics editors. It consists of several Java packages with about 200 Java classes:

Wife wants kidney back from cheating spouse
Updated On: Jan 29 2014 09:16:30 AM CST
A British woman who donated a kidney to her spouse now wants it back after discovering he cheated on her with a friend during her recovery.
Samantha Lamb, 41, married her husband, Andy, in 2007 and gave him one of her kidneys a few years later when he became ill and needed a transplant, UPI reported.
Their marriage fell apart after rumors of his infidelity.
Now Samantha Lamb wants her kidney back.
"I can't believe he now has a second chance to live to see his grandchildren grow up," she told The Mirror. "I would definitely go through the operation again -- but I wouldn't give the kidney to him. I hate him. If I could I'd take it back and give it someone else. Obviously I don't want people to be put off putting their names on the organ donor list. But all I want from him is his name on the divorce papers."
Although the other woman has admitted to the affair, Andy Lamb denies he cheated on his wife.
He claims he was helping the friend train her dog.
