The Department of Finance recently announced that Canada signed a Tax Convention with Poland on May 14, 2012. The Convention includes provisions that reflect the OECD standard for the exchange of tax information. The new Convention with Poland will limit the rate of withholding tax to:
This Convention will enter into force after each country has notified the other that the Convention has been ratified by its government. In Canada, the Convention will apply to tax withheld at source on amounts paid or credited to non-residents beginning on January 1 of the first calendar year after the Convention has entered into force and, for other taxes, for taxation years beginning on or after January 1 in the calendar year after the Convention has entered into force.

The Definitive Guide to Disney's PhotoPass is long overdue for a facelift and I'm shamelessly asking for your support – especially if you've found the site to be helpful to you in the past.
I'd like to replace the current magic shot samples with larger, unmasked versions. So if anyone can contribute their magic shot photos to the site, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm even welcoming the same magic shot multiple times from different families as I will be able to display varying examples in a couple of different ways. If you are willing to help, please email them directly to email@example.com. Please make sure these are the full size images however and not copies directly off the PhotoPass website. Also preferably without any additional borders added (but any are welcome).
To make way for the new Cat Cora restaurant, Kouzzina, Spoodles at the BoardWalk will be serving its last meal on August 1.
This information is derived from the new online booking system which shows zero availability for the restaurant beyond this date.
No opening date for its replacement is known at this time other than it's expected to open this fall.

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 14, 2009 — Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman, Jay Rasulo appeared on Capitol Hill this week to communicate his strong support on behalf of the Travel Promotion Act. The bill, which is co-sponsored by Senator Mel Martinez of Florida, seeks to create a nonprofit entity that would execute a nationally coordinated travel promotion program encouraging more people to visit the United States.
Appearing before the Senate Subcommittee on Competitiveness, Innovation and Export Promotion, Rasulo told the body that, in addition to having a much easier, user-friendly entry process, the United States would greatly benefit by the creation of travel promotional entity that could speak with one voice, to welcome those who have avoided visiting the U.S. since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and more recently, because of the effects of the economic recession.
Stitch Kingdom is proud to be one of the very first to bring you the SWW 2009 map and schedule in PDF form. This is the same map you will be able to get in person at the park.

Wal-Mart nation: the race to the bottom
By Floyd J. McKay
Los Angeles is not my kind of town. But the Angelinos are about to take a stand that ought to be applauded across the country.
That stand is to say "no" to a Wal-Mart "supercenter" that the retailing giant hopes to open in the city.
These superstores are not your father's Wal-Mart; they are monstrous, sprawling over some 25 acres and employing up to 600 workers. Their lure, of course, is lower prices.
Wal-Mart, it seems to me, epitomizes the race to the bottom that has the United States by the throat as the 21st century opens.
Why do people shop at these behemoths, when they know full well that they are driving out of existence small businesses owned and operated by their neighbors, employing other neighbors?
They shop because of price, and they are forced to do so by the declining standard of living we have offered working people for more than a generation. People who work for minimum wage, with little or no benefits, who cannot afford to fix their car or their kids' teeth have no choice but to search out the lowest price.
Wal-Mart buys offshore, without apology and for the cheapest possible prices, from companies paying the lowest-possible wages.
As jobs in America are lost to foreign sweatshops to feed the Wal-Mart engine, American workers are forced to accept jobs at lower pay, with bad working conditions. They are funneled to Wal-Mart's promise of cheap goods, in effect patronizing the very companies that caused their economic misery.
This is a cruel travesty on working people in this country.
Wal-Mart is currently being sued in some 40 cases charging various abuses of labor laws, and last fall it was reported the company extensively employs illegal aliens as janitors. Wal-Mart has successfully opposed unionization and frequently pays well below competing stores.
All of these practices - alleged abuses of labor laws, hiring illegals, and the low rate of pay and benefits at Wal-Mart - serve to depress the labor market in communities in which the giant is located. That is a major factor in Los Angeles' opposition to the supercenter.
leaving buildings without the essence of civic life.
The gap between rich and poor has widened at an alarming rate in the past 20 years. In 44 states, the gap has increased not only between rich and poor, but between rich and middle-class families. None of the six exceptions is a Northwest state. Oregon has one of the worst gaps, Washington is about average.
In some states, the inequity is staggering. In three of the nation's largest states - California, New York and Ohio - families in the lowest 20 percent bracket actually lost real income from 1978 to 2000. In 1999 dollars, the loss was between 5 and 6 percent. In those same states, the real income gain for the top 20 percent of families ranged from 37 to 54 percent.
Nationwide, from 1978 to 2000, the lowest 20 percent of families gained only $972 annually, or 7.1 percent; the top 5 percent gained $87,779, or 58.4 percent.
These findings, by the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, were before the Bush tax cuts and the current recession, both of which will further widen the gap.
You can't blame Sam Walton for this disparity, but operations like Wal-Mart feed off the impoverishment of America.
Sadly, there are byproducts in quality of life, often unseen until it is too late.
The greatest is the destruction of America's small and mid-sized towns, increasingly bereft of small businesses and dominated by big-box retailers - acres of barren asphalt parking lots, corporate managers on their way to the next-larger store, employees scrambling to keep low-wage jobs.
My wife's recently deceased aunt could no longer shop in the small Iowa town where she and her late husband ran a feed store. The store is closed, as are the other small businesses. The elderly woman had to drive - or be driven - past the empty shops several miles to Wal-Mart, the nearest place to get the basics of life.
Wal-Mart is like a neutron bomb, sucking life out of small towns, leaving buildings without the essence of civic life.
Those of us fortunate to earn middle-class incomes can make a choice, and shun Wal-Mart. The tragedy is that for an ever-increasing segment of America, the despicable race to the bottom has left no other choice than to shop for cheap, regardless of the consequences.

Questar Gas is replacing a section of its system in the Salt
Lake Valley known as Feeder Line 6. (Feeder lines are larger,
steel pipelines that supply smaller main and individual service
lines that connect to meters at homes and businesses.)
This website provides general information about the project as
well as current information on construction activity and related
impacts on local traffic.
This project is necessary to keep pace with increased demand
for natural gas due to customer growth. It will also enhance our
ability to continue providing safe, reliable natural gas service
by making our system easier to monitor and maintain.
The section of Feeder Line 6 slated for replacement with new,
12-inch-diameter steel pipe is about 16.5 miles long. It runs
from 3300 South Street (in Salt Lake City) to the Salt Lake/Utah
County Line, primarily along 1300 East. (See map.)
Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-January 2014 near
the intersection of 6500 South and 1300 East and continue for
several months with crews working at various locations along the
project route, including additional intersections and canal crossings,
to expedite completion of construction. Allowing for weather and
other project demands, the entire Feeder Line 6 project is expected
to be completed in 2015.
This project may involve some nighttime and weekend work. Traffic-lane
restrictions can be expected in work zones. Watch this site for
the latest traffic information. Please drive carefully and obey
all signs and flaggers. To avoid congestion in construction zones,
motorists are advised to use alternate routes and to allow plenty
of travel time to get where they're going. We appreciate your

Many Metra delays tied to 1930s-era switches
By ROSALIND ROSSI and ART GOLAB Staff Reporters February 7, 2014 11:52PM

Updated: March 10, 2014 6:37AM
Up the decrepit stairs of a tower built in 1907 sits the poster child for a large chunk of what troubles Metra, the suburban rail service that has given thousands of passengers angst in recent weeks.
Here, near Grand and Western, lies a mammoth rail-switching machine that dates back to the 1930s. Its 31 red and blue levers must be operated by hand. Some of its parts are so scarce they barely exist.
Once high-tech but now an 82-year-old antique, this machine powers the busiest switch intersection in Metra — called the A2 interlocker — just yards outside the tower door and 2 miles from downtown. Seven of Metra's 11 rail lines have trains that run over A2 switches. As a result, it's a major choke point even in good weather but especially in bad.
The A2 interlocker represents two of the biggest problems facing the nation's second-largest commuter rail line: delays and capital needs.
Switching snafus are the largest cause of Metra delays, Metra data indicates. And A2 is among the top of the heap of Metra's estimated $9.66 billion in capital needs over the next decade, with only $2 billion expected to plug the hole. Another concern: 60 percent of Metra's rail cars were rated beyond their useful life in 2012.
Don Orseno, the former Metra chief operating officer who on Jan. 31 was enthusiastically tapped as CEO, is ready to bite the bullet on A2. He says he will consider a variety of options, including bonding — something Metra has avoided — or even public-private partnerships to fund the system's capital needs. That includes a new interlocker that would reduce the number of delicate A2 switches and thus the potential for failure.
"I think we're going to go in the right direction very, very quickly," Orseno said after being unanimously named CEO. "It's all about our customers. We have to be able to deliver to our customers."
Metra faces probably more external and internal pressure than at any point in its 30-year history. It's at a critical crossroad.
Metra is triggering increasing frustration from winter-weary passengers tired of delays — many of them, officials say, tied to weather beyond Metra's control.
Like many massive transit systems nationwide, it's bursting with capital needs but has yet to find a way to meet the demand ahead.
Orseno is determined to regain trust lost during the whirlwind of controversy that followed the deal to buy out his predecessor, Alex Clifford, that was worth up to $871,000.
Some lawmakers are champing at the bit for some answers and solutions. Two state legislators are hosting a public hearing Monday in Naperville, where Orseno will be called to explain a winter of delay-driven discontent.
Plus, a special task force appointed by Gov. Pat Quinn has Metra in its crosshairs. Quinn has ordered the group to consider ways to reorganize or consolidate Metra, the Chicago Transit Authority, Pace and the agency that oversees their finances — the Regional Transportation Authority. Recommendations are due Mar. 31.
"Metra is at a fork in the road," said transportation professor Joseph Schwieterman, director of DePaul University's Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development. "Everyone is asking what changes come next. It's going to be a very politically interesting period."
Metra officials are proud of what, for the last two years, has been a more than 95 percent on-time performance level. Delays, they say, have been a rarity among the almost 4,000 trains the commuter rail agency operates weekly.
But officials concede that's not how numbers will shake out for January, when what Orseno called a "perfect storm" of snow, high winds and subzero temperatures created delays that lingered for days.
At A2, which holds the only switching system in Metra powered by air compression, arctic temperatures shut down the compressor needed to move switches. That, combined with ice that fell from train carriages and clogged switches, turned A2 into a pressure cooker for workers.
One of them, Dave Reiss, an eight-year Metra veteran, said Jan. 6 was "the worst day since I started at Metra."
"For a while, every switch we threw, it would fail," he said.
Given A2's position, one failed switch can cause a domino effect of delays and, in brutal weather, create bone-chilling waits that riders find hard to forget.
Despite the times Metra may be on time, "When the crap hits the fan, that's when riders need you," said professor Joseph Schofer, director of Northwestern University's Infrastructure Technology Institute. "If you are not going to deliver then, it becomes a serious problem."
Well before January, certain weekday Metra trains were chronically late in the 12-month period ending with November 2013, the most recent Metra data indicates.
Ten trains experienced weekday delays, at a minimum, an average of once every two weeks, with six of them passing through A2's switches at some point on their routes, according to a Chicago Sun-Times analysis of Metra's monthly worst-of-the-worst trains.
Riders on such trains may have experienced even more delays because monthly counts only reflect the months in which certain weekday trains were less than 85 percent on time.
Tied for the top-offender position was Union Pacific West's train No. 44, which arrives at Chicago's Ogilvie Station from Elburn at 10:25 a.m. weekdays. At a minimum, over the 12 months ending in November, it was late 33 times on a Monday through Friday, including a 58-minute delay in August due not to weather but to a lack of air to power switches at A2.
At last count, about 200 trains a day lost a total 353 minutes during rush hours alone due to non-weather-related problems at A2, Metra officials said. The last estimate to update the interlocker was $172.2 million, but Metra is exploring its options .
The challenge for Metra is that riders remember delays, and 45 percent of them are categorized as "controllable."
Some riders can understand weather-related delays, but not why Metra doesn't communicate them faster through its online alert system.
Orseno said better customer communication is a top priority, and he hopes to roll out an enhanced train tracker system by summer. In an era when many riders expect instant information, customer alerts are another story.
UP-North rider Dorron Katzin said just last week that Ogilvie's departure board lit up with almost across-the-board delay notices, but not all of them appeared on the alert system for nearly a half-hour.
"No matter what the reason, there is no excuse for not keeping the riders informed," Katzin said.
Metra spokesman Michael Gillis said workers watch the movement of trains in real time, on a GPS system. They start getting ready to issue alerts five minutes before any 15-minute delay, which is usually the minimum time period that triggers an alert for a single train.
But last week "we know we should have done a better job," Gillis said. Workers should have issued a blanket alert early, warning riders that a switch problem could delay all Ogilvie trains; instead, alerts for individual trains dribbled out.
Last week's meltdown at Ogilvie for UP trains was caused by ice that clogged some of the system's more than 3,000 switches, and that was something new switches would not have prevented, Gillis noted. Metra categorizes such problems as weather-related — the fourth most frequent cause of delays.
Problems with "passenger loading" are the second most frequent cause, followed by freight train interference, which was the top reason last year for UP-West, North Central and Heritage train delays.
UP-Northwest rider Jeanette Lewandowski finds passenger loading explanations hard to believe.
"Passenger loading, I think, is an excuse," she said. "I've been riding Metra for 25 years, and the last two years have been ridiculous. It used to be like clockwork. Now we're waiting."
Passenger-loading delays can be triggered by strollers, bicycles, a disabled person using a lift or large crowds, Gillis said. Metra amends schedules as needed when this becomes a recurring issue, but to stretch out schedules to accommodate occasional passenger-loading problems could leave too many trains idle for too long, he said.
UP-West rider Bob Sandner has been taking Metra for more than 40 years, and delays are expected in severe weather, he said. He focuses on the positives.
Over the years, he has seen Metra introduce "quiet cars," which he enjoys. Conductors are friendly and will wake sleeping passengers before their stops, he said. Ogilvie Station, where he arrives, is a stunner, loaded with shops, food and amenities.
All in all, Sandner said, "Metra is still better than driving."

Came here after a lap of the Wayoh Reservoir with my two dogs. Was welcomed in straight away, and was told to sit anywhere with the boys, even though they're two big animals, which seems to put a lot of landlords off. Made a very nice change to finish a walk with somewhere that actually lets dogs in!!! Didn't eat, but the food I saw being served looked and smelled amazing. Had a pint, and the service was spot on. Will definately be going back, planning on having a lunch, and maybe stopping over, as the real fires were just what I was after!!!

windows 7
Need help making iphone show in my computer
So I just got a new laptop and I am quite liking windows 7. There is one thing making me nuts and that's iphone not showing up in my computer as a portable device/camera/whathaveyou. When I had vista it was right there everytime I plugged it in. Itunes has had no problem seeing my phone and syncing, but I like being able to manually go into my phone. Especially since I dont really want to download a new program or email myself all my pictures, I just want to go in and get them.
I tried going through and searching for it by using the find hardware/device drivers thingy (you can totally tell I know what I am doing, right? Device driver thingy is the offical name right?). But it just searched and searched and found nothing. I am at my wits end.
I'm sorry if I am rehashing stuff that's been asked 1000X

Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 Bit
Hey, I actually just made an account so I could share this information with you guys. I ran into the same HDMI not playing audio problem on my computer, and the solution had NOTHING to do with drivers/sound cards/anything else like that. I use VLC player (not sure what the original poster uses for his media playback), and in the sound settings the audio device was set to "Stereo". All I had to do was switch it to "Mono", and boom, sound over HDMI. Hopefully this helps!

You may have tried this so I hope Im not being redundant. But, Im here to try and help
Alright, go to the control panel and make sure the "classic view" is selected. Then go to administrative tools and select computer management. So once you are there, click on the device manager and a bunch of stuff will line up in the right window with plus signs to the left of the icons. If there is a red X or yellow circle with an exclamation point next to any of those icons, you have a possible hardware conflict or problem. If its there, screen shoot it and I may be able to walk you through simple ways to fix it. Please provide as much detail as possible if this is the case.
So if this check seems ok and there are no yellow or red things around, you may have to dig into your BIOS. Your computer should have came with a manual on how to get into bios and possibly help you with resolving the issue.
While you are in the BIOS, check for the version and see online if you have the most recent one. If not, that might be your problem too. You can google on how to do it yourself and I would recommend to take your time and back up your data.
I hope this helps and as an FYI, these are just the main things you can check that will possibly keep you from having to chase your tail. It's hard to armchair quaterback a computer repair on the internet!!!
Good luck,

Well, if things like Netbeans and so on don't work, what about using VirtualBox ?
Probably a silly question, but most of the programming environments that we would like to use give students unacceptable access to the C: drive and other areas. This is a problem for our technicians, because as a teacher of AS/A2 computing I need my students to be able to program at school. We have one great big CC3 network and no "safe" rooms. Where do we go from here?
Well, if things like Netbeans and so on don't work, what about using VirtualBox ?
I know a couple of lads (couple as in two of them, they're not lovers or anything...) who did a bit of programming at a college. The college gave them access to a virtual machine to do it. Pretty sensible, you could do it easily with VirtualBox... in fact, you could build the VM on your clean machine, make a package and deploy it (albeit slowly) quite easily.
Have you used VMs?
Haven't tried VirtualBox , but we HAVE tried a linux VM running in VMware player and Micro$oft Virtual PC - our lessons are only 35 minutes and after logging into CC3, then starting a VM, then loading the SW we don't have enough time to do anything useful.
What we did was make a user account soley for VB, with 10 accounts and only allowed to use in the time they were supposed to be doing it, all other times the account was locked. This has so far worked quite well. They are also allowed access to near nothing else.
Though as above, on my CCNA course we are given a virtual machine to prat about with
I had thought about special accounts..I may pursue this further..thanks! Anyone else have any other views?
VitualBox is they way to go, pretty snappy and if they suspend the virtual machine rather than switching it off then they are running in about 10-20 seconds. Also gives them chance to try various O/S's to check cross compatibility etc and also if they are testing a program they can snapshot the image so if the program does anything weird then it can quickly be reverted back.
Personally I wouldn't go the special accounts route as you are still then giving them access to the C drive in a programming environment which makes it very easy to stuff the machine.
Your other options are to investigate VDI's, use some software which restores machine state on reboot (completely forgotten the name of it!), seperate desktops/laptops soley for programming.
OK thanks!
What about teaching the programming using web tools? Write the code in VB.Net, PHP etc but running on a web server? This is both really good (because web coding is useful) and you can have loads of people putting their code on one machine. Even if someone does manage to mess it up (and it's much harder to have web code causing harm; it will run as a low privilege user with relatively little access to the file system) it shouldn't be too hard to just fix the one machine (need to make sure users copy their code to home drives so that the web server is sacrificial!)
I don't think you should worry too much about what users can do with a programming language. Most simply won't have the skill to do anything bad (they might think they can do clever stuff - eg bring up a listing of all files on drive C but if the permissions are half decent they won't be able to break anything! Those who do have the skill will do it whatever tools you make available - you need to get them on your side and benefit from their ability.
If you don't want to go the web route and you can't get reasonable VMs on the desktop machines, can you put a batch of VMs on central boxes? A desktop class machine with 4Gb of RAM should comfortably host 8 VMs running XP. VMWare Server and MS Virtual Server will allow you to have the machine on one box but the user accessing it on another (both can use a web client to do this)

Every time this question comes up, I always ask what can student do in the C;\ drive that is such a problem?environments that we would like to use give students unacceptable access to the C: drive
I'd be really grateful if someone could explain the security implications of giving someone (read) access to the system files. is windows that insecure, or are the technicians? I hide the C:\ drive, but purely for an aesthetic point of view.
To answer the original question, php just requires a webserver and bluej is designed for teaching (mostly at uni) BlueJ - Teaching Java - Learning Java
The ICT teacher brought up this subject and said he will be teaching GCSE computing and programming in September, probably with Visual Basic.
Would it be wise not to let this run on the network? possibly standalone machines? Virtual machines?
Im not really that clued up with visual basic and not sure what damage it would do with the wrong student
When i did VB.net in class it was fine on the network, there was just some security issues and we couldn't create the installers.
Realistically, if they're going to do damage, they'll do it without the programming tools and access to the command prompt.
Do you, for example, remove the VBA environment from Word, Excel etc? If not, you're at exactly the same level of risk and I suspect that VBA is present for most users.
I know we have school and college students on this forum - perhaps one of them would like to explain what they can do when they have access to a programming environment. I suspect that they're able to do very little that they shouldn't be able to do if the network is reasonably well locked down.
90% of ours spend their time attempting one of two things:
1) Making a web browser that they believe will get them a direct route to the Internet
2) Making games / level designs.
Anyone trying truly malicious stuff gets picked up quickly and beaten with the AUP.
Have you considered (assuming non-vb development) just using a vm they can ssh into with putty? Or maybe LTSP?
Another way to do it would be to give free access to the machines and just re-image them every night or if there is a gap between lessons. A little FOG server on the same network segment could do the job quickly and could be scheduled so would be relatively hands-off.
Or, look at products like Deep Freeze - a simple reboot and any changes to the PC are wiped out...

Check out what I've done lately!
Personal Info
Everyone calls me Rapha and you can, too That's always been my online handle.
Yes, I really am 36 years young
I work in a bakery, frosting donuts and doing other bakery-related tasks I work very early in the morning, so I have a weird sleeping schedule.
I enjoy RPing with my bestest friend (Powerwing-Amber), drawing, web design, video games, anime, cartoons, writing, and other various activities.
I am an aromantic asexual. This means I have no desire for sex or having a romantic relationship with anyone. I do, however, develop the usual fangirl crushes
I hate yaoi, yuri, porn, or any other type of fetishes. If you ever think my art has anything to do with these things, think again. There sure is a lot of weird crap out there that gives a bad name to some of the innocent cuteness I enjoy.
DeviantART Life
I don't mind discussing things with people, but I don't just chat with random people for the sake of chatting.
I don't trade watches. You can watch me all you want, but don't expect I'll watch you in return.
I used to always leave a comment when faving, but lately I've gotten lazy. I fav and run most of the time. Deal with it.
I don't do art trades or requests. I really don't have time for them when I have so many of my own ideas waiting to be completed.
I always read all comments that people leave for me. I try to respond to as many as I can, but sometimes I just don't have anything to say. I also can take months to respond If you get a super late reply from me, that's just normal.
If you drop the F-bomb, your comment will be hidden
I hate it when people RP in my comments
I don't go to people's profiles or art and attack them just because their views are different from mine and if someone brings a fight to me, I'll try to end it peacefully or ignore it. I don't like fighting and I don't believe that it ever changes anyone's minds, anyway.
I'm not your best friend just because you say I am. If you say something like that, I'll probably start ignoring you.
I dislike when people post anything other than their own work. I report TOS violations whenever I see them
Sonic Fan Stuff
I am a Sonic The Hedgehog fan.
I fangirl, but not to the point of being
Being a Sonic fan doesn't make me a furry.
Being a Sonic fan doesn't make me stupid.
I draw clean Sonic art.
I like Sonic games, comics, and cartoons.
I won't give you trouble if you disagree with my opinions on shipping, 2D vs 3D, or any other aspect of Sonic fandom.
I normally don't like recolors, OC x FC, or crack , but there can be rare exceptions if they make sense and don't seem forced. About 99.999% of these things are made of fail, though.

When it comes to dental health, some people may believe that the consequences of poor oral care habits stop at the mouth, but they would be incorrect. The mouth is connected to the rest of the body, and there is a strong association between oral health and overall well-being, which is why it's important for people to make dental care a priority. While the connection between oral care and overall health has been known for quite some time, scientists have only recently begun to understand how strong this relationship is.According to the American Dental Association (ADA), the mouth is a window to the health of the body. For example, a dental checkup may be all it takes to diagnose a number of conditions, such as diabetes, AIDS and Sjogren's syndrome. Furthermore, there is a growing body of research that suggests that people who don't take proper care of their teeth may have an increased risk of developing health problems such as heart disease.Good and bad bacteria The Mayo Clinic explains that the mouth is filled with bacteria. While many people may find that gross, it's important to understand that there are both good and bad bacteria. The good bacteria in the mouth work to dominate the bad so that the teeth stay healthy and cavity-free. However, sometimes the bad bacteria will grow out of control and wreak havoc on the mouth. This can happen for a number of reasons, but is most often due to poor oral care habits and a sugar-filled diet.While some people believe that sugar causes cavities, that's actually not the case. Sugar acts as food for the bad bacteria in the mouth, which in turn attack the enamel of the teeth and cause cavities and gum disease. This is why it's important for people to monitor how much sugar they eat so they don't let the bad bacteria in their mouths grow out of control.Another way that there can be an overgrowth of bad bacteria is if there is not enough saliva in the mouth. When saliva flows through the mouth, it washes away bacteria, and when there's not enough of it, there's nothing working to keep these organisms in check.Bacteria attack the rest of the body When bad bacteria overrun the mouth, the organisms may cross over into your bloodstream and affect the rest of your body. The ADA states that while more research is needed, a number of studies have suggested that chronic inflammation from gum disease caused by bad bacteria may be linked to the development of cardiovascular issues such as arterial blockages and stroke. While more studies need to be conducted to fully understand the connection between heart problems and dental health, the associations that have been discovered should be more than enough to encourage people to take better care of their teeth.What should be done What can people do to protect themselves against harmful mouth bacteria that may affect the rest of the body? Along with brushing, flossing, using mouthwash and making regular visits to the dentist, people should also eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, people also need to be on the lookout for signs that something is wrong in their mouths. Common signs of gum disease include gums that bleed during brushing and flossing or those that are red, swollen and tender. Also, people who have persistent bad breath, pus between their teeth and gums, or loose and separating teeth should see their dentist as soon as possible.

Curious about the numbers...BG/ Lipids/ B/P, or other markers
I'm guessing many of the older(chronologically speaking) folks here have B/P, cholesterol/lipids, blood glucose issues. Maybe some of the young'uns, too.
How have those numbers changed for you JUDDDagenarians?
Doing strict Low Carb was the first time in my life that I had a normal B/P for my age! I'm just curious how ADF affects any of these levels.
My A1C went from 9.8 to 5.6 in 1 yr of juddding only the first month was low carb.
I don't have my labs in front of me, but I know in the past my triglycerides and cholesterol overall were borderline and my BP has been all over the place, both high and low. My most recent labs, about a year into JUDDD were phenomenal in all areas. The doctor said they couldn't be better, except for my thyroid hormone which is unrelated. My BP has been low since JUDDDing, averaging 100/60 but often lower than that.
I always had low/normal BP before gaining 70+ lbs. I hope it goes back to the good readings I always had consistently when I lose a little more. I don't take BP meds and never have. It is not that high, but it is higher than it used to be. Hopefully, weight loss will take care of it.
I'll be watching the responses of this thread with interest. I'm intreigued by your numbers, Dawn.
My dad, who is overweight but nowhere near obese, has high cholesterol. Not sure how the numbers fall, exactly but his doctor wants him on statins. He actually was supposed to be on statins before but my dad chose not to take them and instead modified his diet and lost about 8-10 pounds. Went back for his recheck and I guess the numbers are a bit higher even with diet & weight loss.
I DO. NOT. want my dad on statins. I'm only just starting to research other dietary and natural methods for lowering cholesterol but I wonder if the SIRTs could help out.
I have a full bottle of simvastatin sitting unused, my Dr wanted me to start it 2 1/2 mos ago...I don't really buy into the concept either...I just put off my blood work for three more weeks to see what I can accomplish dietwise in that time. I'm thinking it's going to have to be fairly low-carb, my BGs are too high for my lipids to possibly be better.
I have the same feelings about statins, Jen, but only from very brief things I've read. I'd love to know specifically why you don't think they are good.
There have been some long term cognitive side effects reported with continued statin use.
This is in addition to the potential derangement in liver function, muscle metabolism and some kidney affects of the previous two.
And this is all in the name of some numbers on a piece of paper for some semi-unproven science that high cholesterol/LDLs increase the risk of cardiac disease. There is now evidence that it isn't actually the cholesterol that causes the problem but inflammation and a component in metabolism of carnitine (don't remember the details, I'll have to dig it out) that leads to heart disease.
But, you know, without all that the drug companies won't make their millions selling pills to the masses.
Thanks Jen. You're so right about the drug companies, and doctors (in my opinion) can be downright negligent in their kneejerk prescribing of drugs like these. I'll keep this info in my back pocket just in case I or any family members have it recommended or prescribed.
I have PCOS so I will keep getting monitored, but the endo says if I keep the weight off my BG should stay good.
JB's, you're all so knowledgeable about these things that I was hoping people might have some more info on this?
I just got my most recent lipids back and, as always, my doctor mentions statins. I think she does it to protect herself from any malpractice suit, but it always stresses me out. These are my most recent numbers:
Total cholesterol: 220
Trig: 80
That's the lowest I have been able to get my triglycerides in YEARS, and that includes when I was very low carb. That's the highest my HDL has been in years, and while my LDL might be a little high, she's using the guidelines for diabetics, despite how tightly controlled my bg is. There's no way I'm going on a statin at 33 years old, but I'm wondering if I need to do more to lower my LDL? I have heard that while you're in the process of losing weight your cholesterol can be all over the place. Has anyone else had experience with that?
When I plug my numbers into the ratio calculator this is what I get:
Your Total Cholesterol/HDL ratio is: 3.24 - (preferably under 5.0, ideally under 3.5) IDEAL
Your LDL/HDL ratio is: 1.868 - (preferably under 5.0, ideally under 2.0) IDEAL
Your triglycerides/HDL ratio is: 1.176 - (preferably under 4, ideally under 2) IDEAL
But she didn't mention ratios at all.
those numbers and ratios look great to me! I think you're right about M.Ds pushing statins as a CYA strategy. I wish i could definitively say that triglycerides go up during rapid weight loss, but that makes sense...when the body is mobilizing fat, where else does it go if not into the bloodstream? The fact that your HDLs are so good says the process of removing cholesterol is going well.
Personally, i refuse to think 220 is bad...mine was 290, that's a bit more worrisome, still, my ratios are ok..not great, but ok.
Have you tried fish oil?
Thank you Lynn! I think I just needed a little reassurance.
I do take fish oil, and cod liver oil. Nothing really seems to change my LDL, but my trigs going down so much since I started JUDDD really surprised me, since I'm eating more carbs than before.
You know, there is a new school of thought that says cholesterol is good and protective. The Weston Price foundation advocates that. It's all very confusing, especially when doctors are supposed to know about these things!
Chris Kresser has written a 5-parter on his site: The Diet-Heart Myth
I don't agree with parts of it but it is a good overview of lipids, LDL etc. and what various items are and even an indication of how some are influenced by diet.
Genetics and family history will sometimes make a GP (understandably) cautious and ready to promote a precautionary principle.
I do think the CYA strategy runs rampant. Big pharma also plays a huge role. I have finally found an MD naturopath that is covered on my insurance plan. We discussed how if bioidentical hormones caused health problems, that big pharma would be all over it. They are not, because after decades of use, there are no problems to report! I am looking forward to getting my thyroid treatment back to natural hormones. I was treated with them for thirty years and was fine....and have been unable to find a doctor willing to prescribe them again until now. Gheeze!:mad:
I could talk on this topic for hours but I would bore you guys to death. :notwrthy:
Kimmie, I am actually very interested in bioidentical hormones. I'd love to hear more about your experience with them. I don't have thyroid issues but I have PCOS and other hormonal problems. How did you go about finding a naturopath that your insurance covers?
When you consider a lipid profile as a snapshot, which it is, just like BG, instead of as an entry on your permanent record, the ratios stand out as a much more important measure of long-term lipid metabolism... I don't know why M.D.s are so hung up on total cholesterol.
Your drop in trigs IS great, I wouldn't have expected that either. How can a Dr ignore that kind of trend?
How bad is your diabetes?
I just blew off my last test on Friday cause I had to take prednisone for a few days, and i knew my levels would be totally screwed.
That's one of my biggest issues with my endo. I like her well enough, but she doesn't seem to look at trends at all. I had to remind her that I've lost 75 pounds so far. I guess she just has too many patients to keep up.
My diabetes has never been bad. I was diagnosed with an A1C of 5.2 (which is considered non-diabetic) so they caught it very very early on. My bg never goes above 140 an hour after a meal. I know doctors tend to be more cautious of all things when dealing with a diabetic, but I wish she'd look at the total picture.
It seems like sometimes doctors are just looking for things they can fix in that moment. A comment like "you need to lose 50 pounds" without noticing "you've lost 100 pounds in the last year" is ludicrous.
And Kimmie, you could not bore me with this stuff. I wish I was more knowledgeable and I love reading what those of you with more expertise and experience have to say.
It was supposed to be a recheck after going on simvastatin 4 mos ago...which i took for 2 weeks, and it made me feel like shite, so i quit. But that was when I started seriously trying to lose wt again, doing low-carb.
My GP is great about keeping up with new research, for instance, she caught a Vit D deficiency a couple years ago, and put me on Lovaza for high trigs when I refused statins the first time. But I do have pretty dismal heredity, ALL my relatives died of CAD except my grandma, who had gallbladder/liver cancer. my A1cs are normal, too, but I've had FBG in the 150s and random PP checks in the 190s. And they started creeping up when i stopped watching carbs on JUDDD.
Here is how I found my naturopath MD.
I have been taking Levoxyl for my hypothyroidism. Pfizer has recalled all doses of this medication recently and it is not expected to be available again until 2014. While I don't really care for Levoxyl, I like Synthroid even less (both are synthetic big pharma t4 only medications). Knowing that I was looking down the barrel of a Synthroid replacement, I started researching currently available meds and read on a Yahoo blog that Nature-throid had a website that listed MDs that prescribed this natural t3/t4 medication. Once I found the doctors that practiced locally that would prescribe it, I checked their feedback and checked for inclusion on my insurance plan. Bingo! I found a wonderful doctor less than 30 minutes away who NEVER prescribes any synthetic hormones. YAY! I go back next Tuesday to review labs and see where we need to go.
Doctors like this are difficult to find, but they are out there. Don't give up! People travel from other states to see her; how blessed am I to have her be so near.
My endo is leaving the T3 decision up to me, which I appreciate. I'm really lucky to have found her. I'm not taking anything but Synthroid right now, but I like that I can ask for, and receive, something else if I need it.
Well, in my year on JUDDD I lost 42lbs regained 30 due to hormones/issues that also screwed EVERYTHING!
I was diagnosed with POF/premature menopause and it sent my blood work crazy!
Cholesterol 264 (High)
HDL 34 (low)
LDL 183 (High)
VLDL 47 (High)
Trig 234 (High)
Glucose 97 (normal/higher range)
A1C 5.6 (normal/pre-diabetic)
Estrogen 15 (very low)
FSH 47 (high)
My GP put me on Simvastin and Losartan. My BP always has run high even when I was a skinny thing in my youth. But its gotten really really high now. The simvastin is because well as my GP put it.......I am a 38 year old with a body wanting to act like its 50. So I promised to take the simvastin til July and try to lose atleast 20 of the lbs I gained since Jan. then do another blood test and try to come back off them. Then in Oct. I have to have another blood draw for my gynie so he said he wants a copy to see the changes to see if I am not one that might have to take it. I didnt want the simvastin at all! But he said my ratio's are horrible and I really needed the intervention. He also said the 20lbs will help with the A1C, he thinks if I dont get down to a smaller weight, I will end up diabetic with in 2 years. BUT he also thinks if my gynie will ever put me on HRT, then most of this will resolve. But she is being stubborn and wont do anything like that til the next blood work numbers are in.
I am working on it all..........sometimes I feel like my feet are in quicksand and I am not getting anywhere....but hopefully that will all change!

This post is a response to the Dave Pulcinella video "The 6 Foods that Work."
Recently Dave has been on the scene with No Bullsh%* Bodybuilding's Ian McCarthy and has been receiving some attention here on the forums. Dave was quoted in a post named "Bull!@#* Bodybuilding" and I really tore into him. If you're curious, here's the link http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...post1025409693
Anyways, I didn't want to just flame another poster without also contributing some positive input. So here's my response to "The 6 Foods that Work"
6 Food Guidelines that Work
1. Keep a Food Journal
If you bite it, you write it. Keeping a food journal is one of the best ways to manage your nutrition. It keeps you accountable and is cited in the scientific literature as being an effective tool for weight management. Here's a full text link one long term study that used food journals http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2515566/
A food journal will help you memorize your food's calories and macronutrients. It's just like using flash cards to learn multiplication tables. The repetition of entering these foods will create a database in your brain. Try using a free online or smart phone app tool like www.myfitnesspal.com
2. Have a Plan
I'm a big fan of the 80/20 rule and not a fan of micromanaging. If you have a game plan for about 80% of your calories, it shouldn't be any trouble getting the rest. So in other words, have a game plan, but not too detailed. Here are some ways to accomplish this.
A. Plan ahead on your food journal for a majority of your meals. Leave some room for change in plans or uncertainties.
B. Stick to a basic routine for most of your meals. If you have a few meals that hit close to the same amount of calories and macronutrients that you can cycle in, it will still give you some structure to work with for the rest of your choices.
C. Get your trouble areas out of the way early. So if you are always low on protein and high on fat, then consider starting off your day with a lean and high protein breakfast.
That's just some examples. You can find something that will work best for you and your situation. Some days you can't plan at all and some days you'll have to bring all your food with you. Just roll with the punches and remember that one bad meal never made anyone fat just like one awesome meal never made anyone lean.
3. Learn to Cook
People who are successful in the long term learn how to adopt their nutrition choices into a lifestyle change. Eating a variety of tasty foods is a hell of a lot more appealing than eating the same 6 bland foods every day.
Want to learn how to cook? www.Allrecipes.com allows you to search for recipes based on nutrition content. If you look at the bottom of their recipes, they place a nutrition facts label to give you a good idea of what you're getting. They have a "quick and easy" sub folder for y'all that want to start simple.
Cooking will also save you money. I see so many posts with a title like "broke college student needs help with bodybuilding foods." Preparing meals yourself is the #1 cheapest way to eat. Star with a less expensive protein like chicken breast, ground beef, eggs, etc. and go from there.
4. Avoid Extremes
Anything that eliminates whole food groups, foods, nutrients, etc. should be looked at with scrutiny. All foods can fit into a balanced diet. The human body is a resilient and adaptive machine. It's not going to break down because you feed it a bowl of ice cream.
There are lots of gurus who would tell you otherwise. They say there's only one way of doing it. Avoiding extremes also brings me to my next point…
5. Beware of Disordered Eating Behaviors
Keep an eye on disordered eating behaviors. Sometimes you can't help but be a little high strung about food and reaching your goals and there is a time and a place to be very diligent (end of bodybuilding competition preparation, before a weigh-in for a sporting event) I recommend that you don't get too stressed about your diet. Some examples I would look out for are:
A. Labeling foods as "good" or "bad" based on their name and not their nutrient composition or taste. Foods don't have virtues. They're just delivery vesicles of nutrients and flavors to your body. Treat them accordingly.
B. Stress and anxiety when you don't have control. Do you sweat bullets when you have to dine out at a place you didn't plan beforehand?
C. Meaningless rituals. Do you eat every 2 hours on the hour even though there's no scientific literature to support this habit? Just an example.
D. Social isolation. Find yourself avoiding interactions with others in order to maintain control of your diet?
E. Binge eating. A binge is never healthy.
6. Find the Balance
More is not better. More is never better. More:
Vitamins and minerals
… is not better.
A symphony works because all the instruments play at a tone, intensity, and tempo that compliment with all the others. Figure out the balance that works for you because every person plays a different song.
