New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Listen, children, to a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight; | 1 Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. |
2 for I give you good precepts: do not forsake my teaching. | 2 I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. |
3 When I was a son with my father, tender, and my mother's favorite, | 3 When I was a boy in my father's house, still tender, and an only child of my mother, |
4 he taught me, and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. | 4 he taught me and said, "Lay hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands and you will live. |
5 Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. | 5 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. |
6 Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. | 6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. |
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever else you get, get insight. | 7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. |
8 Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. | 8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. |
9 She will place on your head a fair garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown." | 9 She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor." |
10 Hear, my child, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. | 10 Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. |
11 I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. | 11 I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. |
12 When you walk, your step will not be hampered; and if you run, you will not stumble. | 12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. |
13 Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. | 13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. |
14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evildoers. | 14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. |
15 Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on. | 15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. |
16 For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble. | 16 For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall. |
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. | 17 They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. |
18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. | 18 The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. |
19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what they stumble over. | 19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. |
20 My child, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. | 20 My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. |
21 Do not let them escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. | 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; |
22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. | 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. |
23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. | 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. |
24 Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. | 24 Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. |
25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. | 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. |
26 Keep straight the path of your feet, and all your ways will be sure. | 26 Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. |
27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil. | 27 Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. |

No, I will not call you and I certainly will not scream and shout with you and I'm certainly not going to wear a suit and tie. Okay, offensive puns out of the way, Martin Solveig has finally emerged with a new release, "Hey Now." Collaborating with LA band The Cataracs and American rapper Kyle, the house-inspired pop tune is ridiculously catchy and if you aren't too cool for school, you'll find that's actually enjoyable. We've slowly but surely seen EDM influence pop music more and more, and this hear is a prime example of it. Unoffensive to your ears and easy to learn and dance to, we'll hear this for the next long while. We're not sure what label this is coming out on or exactly when, but expect it in May.

October 1, 1999, 12:00 AM
By Daniel Voll
"I knew those fuckin' guys were at the bar. So I excuse myself and I find 'em, and I say, 'Motherfuckers!' And Ian says to me right off the bat, deadpan, 'You know, Nick, I don't really see why you expected to get the award. You do nothing but play yourself.' I look at Ian, who played a homosexual artist in Gods and Monsters, and I say, 'Look who's calling the kettle fuckin' black,' and then we both turn to Ed, who played a skinhead in American History X, and say, 'What'd you think? Bald head and tattoos were gonna win?' And we all just started laughing."
Nolte sat on his hands when they honored Elia Kazan. Sean Penn is Nick's friend. Penn's dad was blacklisted. Kazan, of course, named names. "He was a great director," he says. "No question. So we would have had to do without On the Waterfront. So what?"
In another decade of his life, he'd be
having this conversation on a barstool. But we're inside now, back in the kitchen, and he's slicing up squash and Kentucky wonder beans and sautéing onions in olive oil, mixing it all with brown rice.
Not that he's an AA purist. He drank on Oscar night. "My soul needed that one," he says. "If I have that occasional drink, I can, you know, end up drinking for a day or so, but I no longer have that illusion that drinking is the only way to deal with life. And invariably, after a coupla days, the body is just aching and hurting, and the soul is in pain 'cause you're destroying it."
The food is all gone and it's 1:00 a.m. and Aidan is worrying about his pimples. "I have the next experiment!" Nolte yells, charging in from another room. He has a jar in his hands. Brawley and Aidan watch him as if he were a magician and a white rabbit might pop out of his hat at any moment. He opens the jar and begins to goop an organic mud mask on Aidan's face. Aidan recoils. "Hey, what's that?" he hollers.
Nick answers, almost tenderly. "Here, you put it on like this." He shows him by applying it to his own face. "It's good for you."
The phone rings. It's Vicki, calling from her office thirty feet away. She's been in there scissoring apart the dresses she wore on her recently canceled TV show, NewsRadio--miniskirts, pink taffeta bridesmaid's gowns. Making them into a quilt. "Come on out, baby," Nolte says. "Yeah, he's still here. It's an interview, but it evolved. You gotta come out; it's my big hurrah."
Brawley asks if it's true that there are benefits to playing video games. "Dad, since I play so many video games, I have more of those little roots. . . . What are they?"
"Dendrites," Nolte says. "The more challenged the brain is, the more dendrites it builds. They help make more connections."
Aidan pipes up. "How many do you think I have? 'Cause I do, like, problem solving every day in school. And complicated math." The mask is drying on Aidan's face, pulling his eyes apart. With the paste smeared high into his hairline, Nick looks like the fool from King Lear.
Brawley has clear skin, looks very much like his father, and has actually played Nolte as a boy in two films. He was also the kid in Ransom. "After doing Ransom," he says, "it was confusing. All of a sudden I understood who all those people were who kept stopping my dad on the street. I thought he had a lot of friends. Now I understood--you get in the movies, you get a lot of friends you don't know." He pulls me aside. "Is it true my dad won the Nobel prize?" he asks quietly.
NOLTE IS AT THE COMPUTER, a cigarette in his mouth, typing with one finger. It's the middle of the night. Aidan is right next to him at another terminal, his complexion much improved, and a panel of blinking red lights means that Brawley is in the next room, playing EverQuest. Aidan has found a medical-surplus store on-line. He's clicking through the screens, yelling out prices of used electron microscopes.
Nolte says, "We don't want to get too complicated. There are setup protocols that would take us all day."
"The way an electron microscope works," Aidan says, "is they incinerate the stuff you're sampling, and it searches for higher electrons it might give off."
"Wow, would that be fun!" Nolte says, his voice pitched high with excitement.
Nolte is working on his lines for his next movie, Trixie, with Emily Watson, in which he plays a senator falsely accused of murder. On the screen, he highlights a speech from the script, then he leans back and waits for the computer to recite it to him.

In 1989, Wim Wenders was commissioned by the Centre Georges Pompidou to make a film about fashion and its place in contemporary society. Initially bemused by the offer, the award-winning director chose to focus on a designer whose work he was both familiar with and felt comfortable in, Yohji Yamamoto.Like Tokyo-Ga, NOTEBOOK ON CITIES AND CLOTHES gradually transforms from a meditation on our relationship with fashion to an exploration of visual representation, creating a dialogue between the language of fashion and that of film. Both are rapidly changing forms of communication, whose progressiveness is often breathtaking. As Yamamoto constantly searches for new modes of expression, Wim Wenders embraces video technology, which offers more flexibility when recording such a fast-paced world.
Suitable for all.

Shoe Molding vs. Quarter Round
by townfloors
There are two types of moldings that you can install on your floors up against your baseboards once your hardwood floors are laid. They are a little bit different from each other so we're going to discuss these differences in this article so that you can make the best choice for your needs.
The first type is what is called quarter round. Quarter round molding is exactly what it sounds like. It's molding that is cut to be one quarter of a circle. Most of the quarter round that is locally sold is ¾" x ¾" with a ¾" radius profile exposed so the molding once applied will come out from the face of the baseboard a full ¾" as well as go up the baseboard the same amount.
The second type is shoe molding which has a slightly narrower profile and is not based on a true radius. Shoe molding is normally 7/16" wide or deep and has a height of 11/16". This molding is a sleeker look and in our opinion is a more attractive choice because it doesn't give the appearance of having a heavy molding at the bottom of the baseboard. The other advantage to shoe molding is that it will conform to the slight variations in the floor much easier than a thicker more rigid quarter round.
In considering which molding you should apply we always default to the shoe molding unless you need to cover larger gaps between your wood floors and the baseboards. If you install your floors to either be under your baseboards or within 5/16" of them you're safe to go with the sleeker looking shoe mold.

USDA Organic Symbol
Global Healing Center strives to source every raw material it can that has been organically certified. The USDA's National Organic Program regulates the standards for any farm, wild crop harvesting, or handling operation that wants to sell an agricultural product as organically produced. The National Organic Program and the Organic Foods Production Act are intended to assure consumers that the organic foods they purchase are produced, processed, and certified to be consistent with national organic standards. U.S. producers are turning to certified organic farming systems as a potential way to lower input costs, decrease reliance on nonrenewable resources, capture high-value markets and premium prices, and boost farm income. Organic farming systems rely on ecologically based practices such as cultural and biological pest management, exclusion of all synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, and hormones in crop and livestock production.
Natural Health & Organic Living
Global Healing Centers Seal of Natural Health and Organic living represents our beliefs and goals to help educate and heal the world, bring back good health, positive thinking, happiness, and love. We want to help our clients and customers realize that the body has self-healing mechanisms to heal itself.. Excellence and superior health products are constantly pursued. We look at the body as a whole instead of addressing one symptom at a time. We also teach you how to clean up the environment you surround yourself in—home, work, school, etc. We teach you how to clean your body, prevent illness, how to stay healthy and happy and live a long stress-free life. The definition of a doctor should be one who teaches, not one who prescribes. That is what Global Healing Center is all about. We sell and develop only the highest quality natural and organic health products. The ingredients we use are non-GMO, organically certified, wildcrafted (organic conditions) or as pure as we can obtain with the highest level of active ingredients.
Organic Trade Association (OTA)

The OTA is a membership-based business association that represents and promotes businesses that produce organic products. Established in 1985, the OTA has very strict standards for organic products, all in hopes to make organicd part of everybody's environment and everyday life. [Learn More]
Vegan Safe
GHC is committed to excellence and has created a seal for the products we carry that are vegan safe. This seal indicates products that contain no animal products. The seal is visible to consumers living a vegan lifestyle. We also want to bring awareness to consumers that vegan products are more environmentally friendly and reduce the world's carbon footprint. We do not support the torture and killing of animals for food. The Vegan Products we carry are: Oxy-Powder, Livatrex, Paratrex, etc...
No Animal Testing
GHC is committed to excellence and has created a seal for the products we carry that are cruelty free. We believe ABSOLUTELY NO ANIMAL TESTING should be performed. Currently there are no government standards for animal testing, so we assume the research ourselves to insure that the products we carry with this seal are of the highest standards and free from any animal testing or cruelty. This commitment benefits our clients and the environment.
GMO Free
GHC is committed to excellence and has created a seal for the products we carry that are GMO free. We believe these radical changes scientists are developing are not only extremely dangerous to our health, but also to our economy and environment. You will currently NOT see any GMO labels on foods in the US. This seal indicates products are free from Genetically Modified Foods. The GMO free products we carry are: Oxy-Powder, Livatrex, Paratrex, etc...
Kosher Certification
Some of the products we carry are certified through Scroll K. We do our best to choose manufacturers that are Kosher compliant. One of our manufacturers holds the distinction of having been the first liquid herbal products manufacturer in the Western hemisphere (and one of the first in the world) to have its facility, operations and all products it produces from its extensive 'schedule A' listings being Kosher certified by a standardized Kashrus certifying agency. 'Standardized Kosher (Kashrus)' means that Scroll K standards are in line with (and recognized by) the largest of standardized kosher certifying organizations, including Orthodox Union (OU) and many other eminent Kashrus certifying agencies (i.e. OK, Star K, KOF-K, KSA, etc.) and strict independent rabbinic standards.
Fact is, a 'standardized' kashrus (kosher) standard is one of the best purity, safety and quality standards in existence because it is the oldest, most well developed and one of the most stringent there is, and it's time proven.. Scroll K standardized Kashrus certified standard and our manufacturers cGMP/HACCP compliant standards work remarkably well with each other and have resulted in a synergy that greatly enhances Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) of the company and its products. It's not surprising since Kosher standards existed long before cGMP and HACCP standards.
Fact is, over 70% of purchases for Kosher certified products in the United States alone is by non-Hebraic consumers, and that percentage is rising as more consumers demand a readily recognizable safety standard for their foods, beverages, confections and natural health products, that has stood the test of time and is based on a trusted across-the-board standardized single quality standard that can be depended on anywhere in the world.
The Kosher Certified Products we carry are: Livatrex, Organic Oregano Oil and Zeotrex.

Dr. Group received his certification from The American Board of Functional Medicine (DABFM) in 2009.
The American Board of Functional Medicine provides distinct services to the public. While functional medicine is a truly dynamic approach to healthcare, the ABFM has set out to provide educational standards and to certify the ability, knowledge and skill of physicians who practice in functional medicine.

By earning 300 hours of functional medicine & passing a Board exam, you are one of the nation's most qualified and educated. Certification by the American Board of Functional Medicine(ABFM) stands for the highest standard in functional medicine. Doctors who achieve this status have demonstrated to their peers and to the public that they have excelled in clinical judgment, skills and attitudes essential for the delivery of excellent natural patient care.

The ABFM ensures that doctors who have earned the title Diplomate of the American Board of Functional Medicine (DABFM) have met or exceeded the requirements set forth by the Board. The ABFM holds itself accountable to the profession of functional medicine, to the patients they serve and to the public. For More info visit: www.dabfm.org

cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices)
Being cGMP compliant is no longer a voluntary standard for companies in our industry to comply with but will be required under the emerging FDA guidelines for cGMP standard, and GHC fully supports this uniform standard. We search and use companies that are cGMP compliant and will be compliant with FDA final guidelines when they are published. A recent review of the approved standards showed that we are already compliant with or exceed cGMP in many areas of our operation as applies to our particular business setup and place in the industry.
HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points)
Under the emerging FDA mandated cGMP standard being HACCP compliant will only apply to certain companies in our industry. Though we will not be required by the uniform cGMP standard to be HACCP compliant, we will still continue to maintain and build upon our proven HACCP compliant quality standard that will continue to add a sandwiching (underlying and overriding) embrace of greater product safety and Quality Assurance (QA) to our already stringent cGMP standard. Being both cGMP and HACCP standard compliant also has the added benefit of bringing us closer to being ISO standard compliant than any other company in our particular segment of the herbal products industry. This is especially important for food, beverage, confectionary, personal care and natural health products companies using highly pure ingredients in their own finished products.
FDA Registered
Global Healing Center's manufacturers are FDA Registered. The law now requires that all companies who produce products for human consumption, whether medicinal, nutritional, beverage or confectionary, must register their facility and operations with the FDA. Further, all information pertaining to a company's address and nature of business must be current with FDA at all times. Being FDA Registered assures our accounts, customers and the public that the manufacturer is a fully disclosed company with the government. This is essential where interstate and international commerce of our products and the raw materials they are made from is concerned. Issues such as public health, product safety and being in compliance with importation laws, regulations and monitoring is more effectively dealt with through the 'FDA Registered' policy. Being FDA Registered does not imply that the products have been approved or certified by the FDA. Where nutritional and/or dietary/herbal supplements are concerned the FDA does not approve such products, however, FDA does have full regulatory authority where the manufacture of or claims made for these types of products are concerned. Using FDA registered manufacturers means that Global Healing Center places public safety and well-being as a top priority.
NSF Certified
Global Healing Center uses and chooses products from NSF certified manufacturing facilities. NSF International, The Public Health and Safety Company™, a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization, is the world leader in standards development, product certification, education, and risk-management for public health and safety. For 60 years, NSF has been committed to public health, safety, and protection of the environment. While focusing on food, water, indoor air, and the environment, NSF develops national standards, provides learning opportunities through its Center for Public Health Education, and provides third-party conformity assessment services while representing the interests of all stakeholders. The primary stakeholder groups include industry, the regulatory community, and the public at large. NSF is widely recognized for its scientific and technical expertise in the health and environmental sciences. Its professional staff includes engineers, chemists, toxicologists, and environmental health professionals with broad experience both in public and private organizations. NSF has earned the Collaborating Center designations by the World Health Organization (WHO) for Food and Water Safety and Indoor Environment. Serving manufacturers operating in 80 countries, NSF was founded in 1944 and is headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI USA. The NSF Mark is recognized for its value in international trade around the world and is respected by regulatory agencies at the local, state, and federal levels.
Environmental Working Group (EWG)
Global Healing Center supports and promotes the work of the EWG. The mission of the Environmental Working Group (EWG) is to use the power of public information to protect public health and the environment. EWG is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, founded in 1993 by Ken Cook and Richard Wiles. In 2002, we founded the EWG Action Fund, a 501(c)(4) organization that advocates on Capitol Hill for health-protective and subsidy-shifting policies. EWG specializes in providing useful resources (like the Shoppers' Guide to Pesticides in Produce) to consumers while simultaneously pushing for national policy change. They protect the most vulnerable segments of the human population—children, babies, and infants in the womb—from health problems attributed to a wide array of toxic contaminants.
They also work to replace federal policies, including government subsidies that damage the environment and natural resources, with policies that invest in conservation and sustainable development.
Our research brings to light unsettling facts that you have a right to know. It shames and shakes up polluters and their lobbyists. It rattles politicians and shapes policy. It persuades bureaucracies to rethink science and strengthen regulation. It provides practical information you can use to protect your family and community.

Organic Consumers Association
Global Healing Center supports and promotes the work of the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), which is an online and grassroots non-profit 501(c)3 public interest organization campaigning for health, justice, and sustainability. The OCA deals with crucial issues of food safety, industrial agriculture, genetic engineering, children's health, corporate accountability, Fair Trade, environmental sustainability and other key topics. They are the only organization in the US focused exclusively on promoting the views and interests of the nation's estimated 50 million organic and socially responsible consumers.
The OCA represents over 850,000 members, subscribers and volunteers, including several thousand businesses in the natural foods and organic marketplace. Our US and international policy board is broadly representative of the organic, family farm, environmental, and public interest community. The Organic Consumers Association was formed in 1998 in the wake of the mass backlash by organic consumers against the U.S. Department of Agriculture's controversial proposed national regulations for organic food. Through the OCA's SOS (Safeguard Organic Standards) Campaign, as well as the work of our allies in other organizations, the organic community over the last eight years has been able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of consumers to pressure the USDA and organic companies to preserve strict organic standards. In its public education, network building, and mobilization activities such as its Breaking the Chains campaign, OCA works with a broad range of public interest organizations to challenge industrial agriculture, corporate globalization, and the Wal-Martization of the economy, and inspire consumers to "Buy Local, Organic, and Fair Made."

Carb-Loaded: the Best Low-Carb Movie Ever?
This might be the best low-carb movie ever. It's just been released and you can watch it online:
Back in August 2013 the readers of this blog (and its Swedish cousin) helped kickstart production of Carb-Loaded.
The creators, Lathe Poland and Eric Carlsen, have since done a terrific job of interviewing almost everyone in the low-carb community – like professor Tim Noakes, Gary Taubes et al (and me) – plus many other experts in food and nutrition, like Drs. David Katz, Marion Nestle and Yoni Freedhoff.
They've done loads of interviews, but that's not what's most impressive about this movie. What's most impressive is how funny it is. I've basically heard all the information covered before, but I still found myself sitting with a silly grin on my face through much of the movie.
There's some pretty impressive animation work lightening up the film too. But my favorite is the obnoxious doctor who sort of represents the conventional "wisdom" of our time. Reportedly the character was inspired by "dr Spaceman" in the TV series 30 Rock – if you've seen him you know what to expect.
Here's a sneak peek of Carb-Loaded:
Did you like that? Check out the whole movie online here:
If you'd rather order a physical DVD or Blu-Ray disc, or if you want to check out other Carb-Loaded merchandise (like T-shirts) have a look at their online store. I you'd like, you can use the coupon code "DIETDOCTOR" for a 25% discount.
What do you think about the movie?
Note: I have no financial interests in the video streaming or the merchandise above.
Do You Want to Watch the Excellent Obesity Documentary FED UP?
This spring I wrote about this exciting documentary, FED UP. Just from watching the trailer it was clear that this would be something extra. A documentary about the obesity epidemic, of highest quality, that doesn't just put the blame on a lack of calorie counting and willpower in sick people (something that's just sickening).
The documentary screened in theaters in the US during the summer and received consistently excellent reviews. It hasn't shown in Sweden, but a couple of days ago it was released on DVD and finally I had a chance to watch it.
The movie is excellent and goes further than other previous major productions. It completely dismisses the sugar industry's favorite idea that obesity just depends on calories. Instead, the blame is clearly put on the real culprit: sugar and addictive junk food.
Here's the movie's strengths… and its fatal weakness: Continue Reading →
Why Are We Fat? The Multimillion-Dollar Scientific Quest to Find Out
Why are more and more people fat? The conventional view that it's all about calories (eat less, run more) remains unproven and it doesn't work very well.
Gary Taubes and Peter Attia are on a quest for the answer to the question. Is it only about calories or is it just as much about the quality of the calories? Is it about carbohydrates and their hormonal effects?
The sad truth is that we don't know with certainty yet. At least not with enough certainty, so that all of those who are able to rethink, would be willing to accept the evidence. To really find the answer will be expensive, very expensive. This requires bigger and more carefully done studies than what have been done so far.
Fortunately, Taube's and Attia's non-profit organization NuSI has already acquired $40 million in donations and is trying to get an extra $190 million to finance the studies needed. Three big studies are already going on.
Read this excellent article about the quest for answers:
WIRED: Why Are We So Fat? The Multimillion-Dollar Scientific Quest to Find Out
The Movie the Junk Food Industry Fears
Here's the movie that the junk food industry fears.
This new American documentary about obesity – FED UP – could stir up the debate when it premiers in four weeks. It's produced and narrated by Katie Couric, one of the best known American news anchors.
The movie seems to hit home when it comes to the causes of obesity. This by interviewing people who really know their stuff, including several of my heroes: Dr. Robert Lustig, Gary Taubes, Michael Pollan, Dr. David Ludwig and Dr. Mark Hyman. Bill Clinton is in it as well.
Watch the trailer – it's excellent. Things are on a roll!

Why Nutrition Is So Confusing
Why is nutrition so confusing? Why do some say "eat more bread and less butter", while others say the exact opposite? Why does a third group say that it doesn't matter, as long as you eat less of everything?
Here are two good answers. Which one do you believe?
Answer #1
According to science writer Gary Taubes's new opinion piece in The New York Times there's a simple explanation. We don't know because we've been too lazy and cheap to do what is needed to find out the truth. We just pretend that we know.
NYT: Why Nutrition Is So Confusing
Go ahead and read the opinion piece, which is unusually short and concise coming from Gary "640 pages" Taubes, but well worth reading as always.
Answer #2
Taubes's opinion piece sent another profile in the nutrition field ballistic (again). Continue Reading →
Toxic Sugar: Fantastic Video on the Obesity Epidemic!
Is sugar toxic and the cause of the obesity epidemic? Here's a great new video called Toxic Sugar. It's a recent segment from the major Australian science program Catalyst, on ABC.
It's arguably the best 18-minute introduction ever made on the true causes of the obesity epidemic. The program features the #1 enemy of the sugar industry: professor Robert Lustig. Also appearing: science writer Gary Taubes and obesity expert professor Michael Crowley.
See it and then tell your friends. This needs to be seen by a lot of people.
Here's a few comments: Continue Reading →
"I Was Wrong, You Were Right"
Not many things impress me more than a scientist who dares to change his opinion. An excellent example is the influential Danish scientist Arne Astrup.
After earlier believing that fat was bad and carbs (even high-GI carbs) were good Astrup has now changed his mind. One of the reasons is the large DIOGENES study that he published in The New England Journal of Medicine recently.
The study proved that a diet with more protein, less carbs and a lower GI is better for maintaining a weight loss. Advice similar to the official guidelines (with more carbs) made participants regain the most weight.
Carbs and obesity
Astrup used to be critical of Gary Taubes (who has long maintained that too much carbs is the villain behind the obesity epidemic). But now he did not mind admitting that he had changed his mind. I was there when they met at the ASBP obesity conference in San Diego yesterday. Astrup said "I was wrong, you were right" to Taubes, regarding carbs and obesity. He didn't mind me quoting him on that either.
To clarify, Astrup does not believe that a strict low-carb diet is a good idea for the entire population. A little less carbs with a lower GI, and a bit more protein would be sufficient he believes. But Astrup had nothing against stricter low-carb diets for treating obesity etc.
Saturated fat
I thought that Astrup would still be afraid of natural saturated fat, but he has updated his position here as well. After all the recent studies showing that refined carbs are worse for the heart than saturated fat, and now even that polyunsaturated omega-6 fat is worse, Astrup believes that focusing on saturated fat is wrong.
If there's any benefit in replacing saturated fat with monounsaturated or omega-3 fat it's hardly of any major importance. There are much more important things to focus on, such as eating less refined carbs (sugar and white flour), enough protein and avoiding trans fats. Natural saturated fat is nothing to be afraid of.
When people like Astrup manage to update their opinions there's plenty of hope for the future. Let's hope more and more experts will follow in his footsteps.
40 Game-Changing Experts Changing the Fitness Industry
This is cool. Here's a list of 40 experts that are "changing the fitness industry" – and I'm one of them. It gets even better, on the same list are three of the most impressive people I know: Mark Sisson, Gary Taubes and Peter Attia.
40 Game-Changing Experts Shaping The Fitness Industry
As far as I'm aware the list isn't only about having game-changing six packs. It just seems like it at the top of the list.
Taubes & Attia Debunks Food Myths on The Stossel Show
Here's Gary Taubes and dr Peter Attia attempting to debunk food myths on The Stossel Show. A calorie is not a calorie and fat's good for you – for example.
For more on the subject check out my recent video interviews with Taubes and Attia.
Is the Solution to the Obesity Epidemic Launching Today?
Obesity and diabetes rates are skyrocketing across the world and the consequences are staggering. How will we stop it? Not by continuing to do what we're doing, because it's obviously not working.
We need to question some of our fundamental beliefs that are, amazingly, not grounded in good science.
Enter Gary Taubes and Peter Attia, the co-founders of the non-profit organization Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI, pronounced "new see"), which launches today. It's goal is to make sure that the important scientific studies get done. We're talking about very major studies on for example low carb diets.
After spending some time discussing it with Taubes and Attia at the AHS conference recently I was extremely impressed by their thinking and plans. I do believe that this could change the world.
I'll write more about NuSI and post a video interview I did with Peter Attia on it. But for now see the video message from Peter Attia (above) and then check out their website:
What do you think?
Also, both Gary Taubes and Peter Attia have posted on NuSI on their blogs today.

A look at Mido 2012: Patty Paillette
Patrizia Shelabarger: "I am growing and will conquer the world"
Creativity is a gift of the universe that is certainly not lacking in Patrizia Shelabarger, founder and designer of Patty Paillette. And at Mido 2012 she had the proof. "I presented very particular things, with their own colors, with special butterflies, interesting circles, and I must say they were very successful", she said in an interview with MidoTV during the fair at the Rho-Pero exhibition center.
Patrizia Shelabarger is enthusiastic and in a recent interview she described herself as "determined, a dreamer and visionary". She does not seem to be worried about the repercussions suffered by the eyewear and other sectors in recent times: "I began recently, my brand is young, I am happy because I am still growing and I will conquer the world".
As to Mido, the founder of Patty Paillette would like to see a corner in Mido Lab24 with "a selection for real designers, an area devoted to those who are totally into research".

A few smarties have gotten together and figured out a way to get those teenaged chatterboxes out of your movie theater. It'll only cost you $35 - and that won't include popcorn!
Variety is reporting that over the next five years, 50 luxury movie theaters will pop up in affluent areas all over the country.
The first two venues are set to open in South Barrington, a suburb of Chicago, and the Seattle suburb of Redmond in October.
No word on whether your cell phone going off during the movie will get you ejected to the poor people's movie theater down the street.

Hi. I'm Lily Collins and welcome to my Seventeen Magazine cover shoot. Hey, Seventeen. Everyone on the set was so much fun and everyone was singing along with the songs and dancing and the energy was so high. The clothes were amazing. I've never done neon before and so this is really fun for me. My style in general, I look up to Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor for their classic timeless nature, but I'm also 22 so like you know throwing young fresh things. I'm actually big on flea markets, rummaging through piles and I wanna splurge, I love going to New York, not that I fly to New York to splurge but I love going like [unknown] to New York. I like to have a big selection of things that I can kind of walk in and look around. Playing Snow White is a dream role for me. Mirror, Mirror is taken from the original fairy tale because we kind of modernized her in a way that she becomes this empowered young woman who ends up fighting for what she believes in and really taking control of her own destiny, mentally and physically like a modern day feminine warrior. My own mirror mantra is looking in the mirror and reminding myself that I'm enough, what I am is myself and what I am with people that love me is enough and as long as you know you love a person that you see because of you know who you are every day and that's enough. Seventeen Magazine is always being about confidence in promoting self-awareness with young girls and positivity and that's something that I'm extremely passionate about. So I started writing to magazines at 15 and 16 and I actually blogged for Seventeen Magazine when I was covering the inauguration and the last election that happened. I'm absolutely honored to be on the cover. So later, guys.

Where every name has a story
He's a Gaelic twist on an impeccable classic – and he's more popular in the US than you might guess. Thanks to Bri for suggesting our Baby Name of the Day: Seamus.
Nicole requested this frilly, feminine confection ages ago – and she's very much in the news this week. With congratulations to Ivanka and Jared, today's Baby Name of the Day is Arabella.
What a week! First there was Harper Seven Beckham, and chatter galore about the name.

Feeling feisty? Head to a message board and announce that you're naming your daughter Addison. Or Quinn. Or Mason. Then run for cover. Sure, some people will respond positively. But depending on the forum, you could also find yourself accused of thievery, trendiness, and general bad taste. I'm sympathetic to parents who feel they can't […]

I posted this question last year and didn't get many responses so I thought I would try again. I have a number of European elderberry plants that have gotten quite large. I would like to sell the flowers so I don't have to deal with the birds eating the elderberries. Does anyone have any experience or information about pricing for elderflowers? I haven't been able to find anything online and I want to start looking into some markets before they bloom. Any help would be appreciated. Mike |

I've tried to sell the berries, still on stem, but not the flowers. What are the uses for the flowers? |
I've never sold the elderflowers, but make a beautiful liquer every year (fantastic in champagne!) |

Do they hold up after cutting them off the plant? Do they look good in a vase of water while you're at the market? If not or if they wilt, then I would focus on folks that home brew their own concoctions with them (they are actually very popular but I think most folks just harvest them from the wild). If you are selling at a farmer's market and they display well you might sell a few to folks wanting to experiment with them (they make good floral flavored fritters also) but I wouldn't think they would be big sellers. You might also find a wine/beer making shop and either sell them to them or at least post a notice that you have them available for home brewers. I would price them like any other flavoring herb except that it takes a lot of them to make a strong tincture and factory made tinctures don't really cost that much. So charge whatever you can get but don't expect to get rich from this crop. |
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check out home brewers. |

The goal of my field of work-public relations-is to influence attitudes and behaviors of those who are important to an employer or client. To be effective at influencing others, we have to have an accurate understanding of the desires, needs and priorities of those we wish to influence. The major goal of liberal arts studies is to enable us to understand others, whether in business or in life. I can't imagine researching target audiences and individuals, or creating public relations strategies using that research, without the benefit of my liberal arts education.
Public relations work relies heavily on written communications, and in creating these communications we often have to write using the voice and motivations of others. The more closely we study subjects such as fiction, history, psychology and sociology, the more effective we can be at capturing the essence of the individuals we represent to the individuals we wish to reach.
However, the most important gift that study of the liberal arts offers us is the joy of learning throughout our lives. Certainly that has served me well when we consider how the public relations profession has changed over more than three decades. More importantly, the ongoing desire to know more has significantly enriched my personal life by introducing me to new interests and passions. This is a precious gift, given in the form of dedication and generosity by my Butler faculty members-my sincere thanks to them all!

Use the search filters below to find more Samsung Digital Camera ratings and reviews as well as reviews of other Digital Camera systems from DigitalCameraReview.com.
The Samsung WB is a great little camera for new photographers or ones looking to step up from a smartphone.
The Galaxy NX is a mirrorless camera featuring a 20.3 megapixel APS-C sensor mated with Samsung's DRIMe IV Image Signal Processer and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system.
The Samsung WB800F reviewed well, sitting comfortably between the Samsung EX2F and the Canon SX280 HS--a great choice for a compact travel zoom camera.
The Samsung WB2100 is a good option for families and aspiring photographers, but the maximum aperture is not the fastest--especially indoors.
The Samsung NX2000 is a good camera, but compared to its big brother, the NX300, it will have a tough time gaining the top position.
We have some serious Samsung love for the NX300.
The Samsung WB250F is a fun, compact smart camera equipped with Wi-Fi and kid friendly, unique in-camera editing features.
The Samsung NX20 is swimming in a sea of fierce competitors.
Looks can be deceiving - this is not your standard P&S.
Samsung Galaxy Camera -- the first with total connectivity.
Samsung has jumped into the ILC segment with both feet, &the NX1000 is the result: sort of a Swiss Army knife, this camera has Wi-Fi, filters, stabilizers & so many pixels.
The Samsung WB150F has two primary attractions on a very lengthy list of advanced features.
Samsung joins the waterproof pocket camcorder fray with the W200 rugged HD camcorder, a $160 device offering full 1080p video that Samsung claims users should take "to the beach, pool, desert, mountain tops, anywhere your adventure takes you." Is the W200 a tough and worthy beast?
Samsung brands the HMX-H300 as the "ultimate HD family camcorder." Does that mean it's a great value promising HD video at a low price? Or, is it just an indication that serious videographers should stay away? Find out in this full high-definition camcorder review.
Samsung elbowed its way into the advanced compact category when it launched the TL500 almost a year ago.

Principal Investigator: Peter Soukas, MDSponsored by: BARD/LutonixA prospective, multicenter, single-blind, randomized, controlled trial comparing the Lutonix Drug Coated Balloon vs. standard balloon angioplasty for treatment of below-the-knee (BTK) arteries Eligibility:• Patients with disabling claudication below the kneeParticipation includes:
Balloon catheters are commonly used to expand narrowed blood vessels. These devices are made up of a very small balloon attached to the end of a thin tube. Lutonix has developed a balloon catheter that is very similar in shape and size to other small balloon catheters except that the balloon is coated with a drug called paclitaxel.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate if the treatment of narrowed leg blood vessels below the knee with the Lutonix Drug Coated Balloon Catheter is safe and beneficial.
Patients will be "randomized", so that some are treated with the Lutonix device and others are treated with a balloon catheter with no drug.

Deep Purple – 'Graz 1975′ Album Review
'Graz 1975' captures the Mark III Deep Purple lineup in one of its very last performances. However, this is hardly the sound of a band in its final hours.
Ritchie Blackmore will always be best known for the titanic riff he supplied to 'Smoke on the Water,' but there's more to the guitarist than Deep Purple. He also co-founded Rainbow, a band that spanned both neo-classical metal and more pop-influenced rock sounds over its lifespan, and later steered toward traditional folk-rock with Blackmore's Night. But without Deep Purple, none of this would have been possible. Blackmore powered the group to fame between 1968-75, notching a pair of Top 10 albums in the early '70s with a lineup fronted by Ian Gillan. In 1984, Blackmore returned to the band, reuniting the classic lineup for the 'Perfect Strangers' album. He followed that up with a reunion with Rainbow. As the only constant member of that revolving group, Blackmore provided the vision. But collaborators like the late Ronnie James Dio, Cozy Powell, Deep Purple's Roger Glover, Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner helped him bring that vision to life.
'Graz 1975' captures the Mark III Deep Purple lineup in one of its very last performances. However, this is hardly the sound of a band in its final hours.
It seems that guitarist Ritchie Blackmore didn't break up with just Deep Purple two decades ago.
Ian Gillan would rather turn down induction than be forced to be on the same stage as Ritchie Blackmore again.
What Deep Purple fans saw on Nov. 9, 1993 at the NEC Arena in Birmingham, England, wasn't anything like a promised 25th anniversary celebration of the band. It was, instead, one of the final nights with founding member Ritchie Blackmore.
It's been 20 years since Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple, and by all accounts, both he and the band are happier now. Still, some fans will never stop hoping for a reunion -- something that, according to singer Ian Gillan, will never happen.
From his days with Deep Purple and Rainbow to his current gig fronting Blackmore's Night, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore has always forged his own trail. It's something, as he recently explained during a Russian television interview, he attributes to his fondness for daydreaming.
As the primary musical architect behind not one, but two of heavy metal's cornerstone bands -- Deep Purple and Rainbow -- and with a deserving reputation as one of history's greatest guitar gods, Ritchie Bl
After years of being completely overlooked by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, pioneering hard rockers Deep Purple received word last week that they are among the nominees this year. But if you're hoping for an epic reunion jam on 'Highway Star' at this year's ceremony, not so fast -- in a new interview, former Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore says he has no interest in whether the band is inducted or not.
When it comes to pioneering jam metal bands, few artists can compete with Rainbow and their legendary penchant for stretching out straightforward rock songs into exercises in instrumental abandon.
The 35th anniversary reissue of 'Live in Germany 1976' -- an unsung companion piece to the band's better known 1977 double concert album 'On Stage' -- showcases guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, singer Ronnie James Dio, keyboard player T

The 5 Strangest Wedding Trends of 2014 [PICS and VIDEO]
As I continue to observe this wedding season, I now present to you the 5 strangest wedding trends of 2014!
Here are 5 strange new wedding trends we're seeing in 2014:
Photo credit: adapted from FreeDigitalPhotos
1. "You're Not Invited" cards
It sucks when you find out someone you know is getting married and you find out you're not invited. You wait for your invitation to come in the mail and as the date of the nuptials draw closer, you realize your chances of getting that card is slim-to-none. If you hate that super awkward time, you'll love the new trend: "You're Not Invited" cards.
It sounds just like what it is — if you're someone who could possibly expect to be invited to a couple's wedding and, for whatever reason, you're not invited — you'll get sent this card. It's not supposed to be mean-spirited though, according to what Tatiana Byron, founder of event planning service The Wedding Salon, told TODAY.com, "Nine out of 10 times, it's because of lack of space — and the couple feels super guilty." So, if you open up your mail to find a fancy envelope hoping it's finally that wedding invitation you were hoping to get — don't get your hopes up.
2. "Unplugged" weddings
If you don't want people to be busy on their phones and take attention away from you or if you want to be able to ensure no one Instagrammed a totally unflattering photo of you — you'll love this. The new trend of "unplugged" weddings is just what it sounds like — the bride and groom hijack your phones and you get them back when you leave.
Want to know more about where this trend started — check out the first couple who coined the term and their reasons behind being "unplugged."
3. Social media concierge
The exact opposite of the "unplugged" wedding is the one that hires a social media concierge. They are the ones in charge of handling all the hashtags you use to blast your friends with behind-the-scenes photos on all social media platforms including Instagram, Vine, Twitter, and more. They don't come cheap though:
While I am sure it's a good idea for those who are not really social media savvy, this new trend can make a lot of people money for just coming up with a unique hashtag.
4. Donkey guest
Donkey's are cute and you don't really see them everyday, and apparently, it's not uncommon to have a donkey around when you're having a destination wedding. Arizona company, Haul N Ass Productions, thought more people should be able to have a donkey carry around the beer for their guests and a new trend was born. There are some totally valid reasons why a donkey at your wedding could be a great idea, but this new trend is a strange one. I wonder if we'll have to bring carrots to the reception to feed the tired donkeys?

5. Pink wedding gowns
I am not really a "traditionalist" when it comes to what I think should be done at weddings. As long as it makes you and your partner happy and you're not going to go bankrupt having to fund whatever that is — go for it. I know that when it comes to weddings, the traditions we see in a typical big-deal wedding have been around for a long time and white wedding dresses are one of those big-time traditions. That's not the trend for this year though — this year we're seeing pink. Vera Wang unveiled her Fall 2014 wedding line and pink was the new trend. I like to call it "bubble gum" pink, but I am sure it has it's own actual name. It's pretty paired with the light flowing fabrics of the princess wedding dresses, but it's not traditional and a strange new trend for this year.

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Alba looked casually cool in a Gold Hawk top over skinny jeans. When asked how her Fantastic Four character, Invisible Woman, would handle a pregnancy, she told MTV: "I think she'd be pretty funny about it, definitely [have] a good sense of humor about it. And you kinda do when you're pregnant. You kinda have to laugh at it and surrender a bit, because your body's being taken over by this other thing completely."Read MoreLess

Jordan David Jones aka J.King F. Bby is a 14 year old rapper from the streets of East Louisville, KY. Being part of a music group and UNSIGNED record label, King has made many arrangements and recorded many songs. J.King began his music career at the age of 8 yrs. old. Around that time, his mother and father had been arguing alot. Years later, they decided to go their seperate ways. Since then, King has had lots of inspiration with his music from everyday life. When he moved to Washington Park Townhomes, he met a friend by the name of Shan Leevon Bosco aka Neno Kid Shawty. They knew each other could rap from the start, but when they actually payed attention to each other's flow, they decided to bring it into the studio. So far, they have made enough music to fill 4 mixtapes with 20 songs contained in each. King has successfully signed a rapper by the name of "G!fted" to Paper Holic Records (soon will be looking for more artists) there are lots of ways to contact J.King F. Bby and Neno Kid Shawty. simply go on many webites and search for "Break'n Newz". They both have a twitter and private myspace, but you'll have to work hard to find the private pages. here are their twitters: www.twitter.com/JFBabey www.twitter.com/nenokid1 Hopefully they will make it big in the game.

Get that girl to a safety station, she's got crazy in her eyes. 14-year-old Jaden Smith was mobbed by fans as he visited pal Justin Bieber at his hotel on Friday (March 1) in Central London, England on his birthday.
It was reported that a confrontation between the 19-year-old and a club security guard at his circus-themed birthday bash at London's Cirque du Soir led him to tweet "Worst birthday." Don't stop Beliebing.
The next night, Jaden's famous father Will Smith supervised his sushi date with Kim Kardashian's kid sister Kylie Jenner at Nobu. Is Hollywood Blvd. ready for the Smith and Kardashian-Jenner clans to merge lanes? Mama Kris is checking her blind spots as we speak.

Wednesday, February 2
At 3 p.m. police responded to a two vehicle accident at 10th and Wilsie streets. A vehicle driven by Valen Marie Aune, 20, of Blaine, Minn., was traveling northbound on Wilsie Street when her vehicle collided with another car driven by Christian Allen Wienke, 18, of Golden Valley, Minn., who was headed westbound on 10th Street. Kelly Maloney, 21, a passenger in the Aune vehicle, complained of injuries and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Police found the alleged striking vehicle parked near a bar at Eighth and Hamilton streets and noticed a man leaving the bar and getting into a cab. When police asked the man his name, he allegedly told them the name of another man who the officers were familiar with. When confronted about the misinformation, the man admitted he was Nicholas Jacob Pederson, 27, of Winona, and that the damaged vehicle was his. Police believed he was intoxicated, and Pederson claimed that he had had nine drinks while inside the bar, although the bartender said hed consumed one. He was cited for driving while intoxicated, failure to report a property damage accident, giving a false name to police and no proof of insurance. Police said his blood alcohol content was measured at .11 percent. Pederson said he didnt want to say anything to police to incriminate himself.
At 1:07 p.m. police received a report of license plate tabs stolen from a vehicle while parked overnight on the 1600 block of Homer Road. The tabs were 2011 tabs.
