The NFL had the opportunity to show that quality is infinitely more important than profit, and demonstrate their understanding that forcing fans to pay for a gimmick doesn't cultivate future interest.
Instead, the league chose dollars and flag football over maintaining respect, and the Pro Bowl will still live on.
After flirting with scuttling the Pro Bowl, the league has kept a game that no one cares about on life support, announcing that the league's annual all-star showcase–and I use the word very, very loosely–will sadly still exist.
Brace for the press release, and the well-crafted streams of soft-tossed executive speak:
"The players have made it clear through the NFL Players Association that they would like the opportunity to continue to play the Pro Bowl in Hawaii," said NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson. "We will support the players on this initiative to improve the Pro Bowl. We have had many discussions with the players in recent years about the Pro Bowl and they recognize that the quality of the game has not been up to NFL standards. We look forward to working with the players toward the goal of improving the competitiveness of this season's game."
"The players believe that the Pro Bowl is an important tradition," said NFLPA President Domonique Foxworth. "We worked hard with the league to make sure the best players in the NFL are honored for their achievements on the field."
No suggestion is given as to how exactly the game will be improved. Pie, meet sky.
There was also thought of moving the Pro Bowl to New Orleans (sorry about destroying your team, but here's a crappy game you don't care about). That idea was also scrapped, and now the game can quite appropriately stay in Hawaii, the land of sand, sun, and relaxation, because there's nothing more laid back than the product we see on the field in Honolulu each January. The game will also stay in it's usual slot during the Sunday prior to the Super Bowl as it continues in its effort to kill our enthusiasm for pigskin a week before the league's marquee game.
I've written this before, and I'll keep writing it until the Pro Bowl is finally killed. I'm paid to write about the NFL, and that results in thinking about football during every waking hour. Even two weeks ago when I was on vacation in Cuba I was sipping some foreign drink from a coconut and mentally forecasting the season that Peyton Manning may or may not have. It's not healthy.
Yet I don't watch the Pro Bowl, and I haven't in at least 10 years.
Professional sports all-star games in general aren't marketed towards anyone over the age of about 15. Like cartoon rabbits that talk and trucks that transform into fighting machines, they're a child's toy aimed squarely at minds that think it's super cool when every awesome player from a given sport is on the field/ice/court at the same time.
But while they're all terrible, the NFL is unquestionably the worst. The hockey all-star game may be little more than shinny, but a goalie still has to stop a shooter. The NBA all-star game is played without defense too, but the skill required to hit a shot still remains. Baseball's mid-summer classic is the most authentic, because pitcher vs. batter matchups can't be dumbed down.
When defense is stripped away from football, the core and essence of the sport is erased too. Good throws and catches lose their authenticity, because without stiff, pro-level defense, the challenge is entirely gone.
It's not football anymore. It's a few guys playing catch, and it's an embarrassment.

I am just getting into planting in the garden and have decided I want to make a garden for the butterflies and hummingbirds. I am looking to find the right perennial plants for my area that will also be hardy and forgiving of a first time gardener. Any suggestions would be wonderful. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hummers seem to be attracted to a lot of different blooms, both annual and perennial. I see them mostly at petunias and callibroacha, but the best thing is seeing them sipping from each individual flower of heuchera plants. One of my heucheras is at the window level of our basement rec room and i've often seen them at the flowers. So heuchera would be my #1 recommendation. :) |
- Posted by oilpainter 3 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 22, 10 at 4:49
I second the coral bells(heuchera) The hummers love them here and come back again and again. My husband remarked that there must be a lot of nectar in them. Hummers prefer tubular plants in red or dark pink. but I have seen them come for any dark color and flowers that aren't tubular--like my geraniums. Monarda( bee balm) is a good plant to attract bees butterflies or hummers. Actually just lots of flowers attracts them both as well as a place to get a drink of water. The hummers show up here before the flowers are blooming and stay all summer. I do have lots of flowers. |
- Posted by dianatiogacopa 5 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 22, 10 at 8:22
The butterflies and humming birds love my butterfly bushes, ragosa roses, bee balm, and cat mint. All of which are easy first time plants. Just plant them and make sure you mulch them well. |
I don't have a lot of butterflies, but do have lots of bees. They love nepeta (cat mint), lythrum, verbascum (sorry to disappoint you, bees, but that stuff is on its way out! LOL), and bee balm (monarda) - oh, and hollyhocks! |
- Posted by canadian_daisy Z2b-3a ON (My Page) on Sun, Aug 22, 10 at 16:50
I also recommend bee balm (monarda) and would add butterfly weed (asclepia tuberosa), autumn joy sedum, yarrow to name a few. Lilacs also attract butterflies although newly planted shrubs take a few years to flower. Living in Northern Ontario I also incorporate wildflowers into my beds which the bees and butterflies love, ie Joe Pye weed, goldenrod, asters. |

It may look like a prank, but this Smart Police Car is actually a member of the Chinese police force. This micro-cop car was spotted in the city of Jinan in China's Shandong Province.
It is common for criminals in China to paint regular cars the color of police vehicles in order to dupe the law and prey on citizens. This Smart Police Car is as real as they come. China's biggest cities are filled with narrow streets and tons of traffic. A small and highly maneuverable police vehicle just make sense. Smarts also save on gas, which is good as China is currently suffering from increased pollution due to increased car ownership.

Eye of Round...not the tenderest cut but one of the least expensive |
To cook a roast beef during the week has
always struck me as quite an accomplishment.
Then I discovered the Eye of Round roast at Costco. Now I grant you this is not the most tender
cut of beef—far from it. But it is
exactly the right size at around 3 lbs that makes it perfect for a weeknight
dinner. And it cooks very quickly taking under an hour
from start to finish. To compensate for its lack of tenderness, this recipe
gives you a great pan sauce that not only flavors the meat beautifully, it also
works with sides really well. I chose to
serve Broccoli and Mashed Potatoes with it—two easy sides both of which could
use a little flavor themselves.

Love love love this e/s! I have this as a part of the tailormade warm palette, and i'm thinking of buying Holiday 2006 Smoked palette because of this e/s. Vex is rather unique, you wouldnt find a similar color anywhere else. It's a duocrome complex shade thats not easy to describe: it looks just meh in the pan, but when you apply its oomph! I would say color its whitish gray, but I see a lot of silver and some green and pink in it too. I use it all over upper lid and often pair it with some shimmering taupe in the crease (with Stila Diamond Lil it makes a stunning combo) but its such a versatile color you can use it with virtually every shade: everytime it gives such a sophisticated and beautiful look! A staple is my e/s arsenal. [For reference, Im NW 15-20, brunette, brown eyes]
I purchased this colour as part of the Holiday 2006 Smoked palette. The website describes this as a soft pale green duochrome with pink opalescent shimmer in a frost finish. I apply this lightly on the lid using the 213 brush as part of a smoky eye. On my NW45 skin it looks more pink than green, which is why I use it lightly. I personally think that pink eye shadow looks weird on me! Vex looks more green when used with Club in the crease.
This is my all-time fave color and one I have re-purchased. I have green/grey eyes and it looks lovely with Shale in the crease or with Print as a liner. It does look weird in the pan but looks awesome on all eye colors!
Knowing I like subtle eye makeup, a friend suggested this color. I never would have even looked twice at this had she not mentioned it - it is u-g-l-y in the pan. On my eyes, though, it is a light soft greenish gray with pink opalescence. I like to wear this in the crease with a light matte lid color (Laura Mercier Morning Dew pairs beautifully with Vex) and dark liner. I do not like Vex as an all-over lid color, worn that way I find it looks greener and competes with my blue eyes, and it is also too shimmery for my taste as an all-over color. I do love it as a soft crease, though, and would repurchase, it is a unique color and the way I've been wearing it gives a soft, feminine effect.
looks ugly in the pan (a grayish color), but it looks really good with pinks and greens and purples. the description is a light green with pink opalesence (sp?), so, like vellum, you can pair it with a billion different eyeshadows and it will look cool. i put vex on the inner corner of my eye and sometimes i will put a light layer on top of existing eyeshadow just to give it some irridesence. pretty!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought Vex specifically to pair with Club, which I just could not make work before. Love it! Not sure how I like it on its own, but its fun to layer with other colors, can't wait to experiment with it more.
Vex is like the inside of a sea shell, a mermaid would use this pinkly / aqua iridescent shade. Very versatile, either on its own or combined. Quite subtle but there, if you know what I mean. I love it with MAC Tealo Powerpoint Eye Pencil. Not an attractive colour to look at in the pot though(it does remind a bit of a Corpse Bride shade), I only picked mine after a mini-makeover at MAC and am very thankful.
13 out of 13 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Vex is definitely a weird shade - I read through the reviews, and it seems like everyone describes it differently. On me, Vex shows up as a light greenish grey with pink shimmer. I'm neutral to warm toned, and Vex is almost too cool for me. I like it best paired with Greensmoke or Paradisco, but other than that, I haven't come up with many combos. I don't wear it often since it's not my favorite color, but I would still repurchase if I ever run out. It's just something nice to have in my stash, and who knows... I may find a new way to use it!
Vex is a great eyeshadow color if you usually wear green or brown eyeshadows. Blend Vex all over eyelid then use a dark green shadow along the creases. Great for earthy tones.

Eagle Insurance
When purchasing eagle insurance quotes online, you can save on pricing, and you can find the best auto insurance online. When purchasing insurance, you will find that you have to compare your auto insurance quote online, in order to ensure you do find the lowest priced eagle insurance quote. Whether it is a full policy, lower base package, or anything inbetween, there are hundreds of policies, and insurance providers to choose from when you are looking for the ideal levels of protection; and, no matter how much or little coverage you need, if you compare your quotes before you buy, you will end up with the cheapest policy possible, for the coverage you eventually choose to go with. (Wikipedia Info)
In order to ensure you get the best policies and quotes on the prices of those policies, online comparisons are the easiest way to find the savings. When you compare your eagle insurance quote online you will:
- find a wide range of insurance policies and levels of protection to choose from for the policy you end up purchasing for auto coverage on your car;
- find the most insurance providers to compare before you buy, in order to ensure you do find the top policy options, for the best rates, and from the top providers when you are ready to buy; and,
- the ease of comparison for your eagle insurance quotes, due to the fact that you only have to answer a short 2 minute questionnaire, and a few questions about the policies, in order to find what you are looking for, and find the lowest prices.
With so many provider options and coverage plans, you can save, and you can find the right insurance provider, but you do have to compare online if you want to find the cheapest auto insurance prices when you are ready to buy. (Check Massachusetts)
Due to the fact that you have to many insurance providers to choose from, and so many policies to compare, you have to take the time to find those that are going to result in the savings you are hoping for, while still getting the very best coverage options for when you are ready to choose your policy coverage. Since you can compare policies side by side, you will easily be able to see which ones are the best, which ones to avoid, and which insurance policy options you are going to buy when the time comes for you to choose your policy. When you compare quotes online, you will not only find the cheapest prices, you are also going to be able to choose how much coverage you want to buy, for the policies that are going to offer the protection you need. (Liberty Mutual Eagle)
When you get your quotes online, and when you compare the insurance providers, you are also going to be able to find the lowest rates on all levels of coverage, regardless of how much coverage you choose to go with. So, if you want to go with the top insurance levels, highest quote protection plans, and the very best insurance providers, you can find the top policies and protection for less, due to the fact that you are first comparing the quotes online before you buy. It does not matter how much you need to protect on your auto, how much you want to find, or which policies you are most interested in, each driver is going to find the policy coverage they need, for the rates they are looking to find when they are ready to buy the policy of choice.
It does not matter how much you are looking to pay, what insurance providers you are going to go with, or what policy quote you want to choose, you have to compare your auto insurance quotes online in order to ensure you find the cheapest auto insurance policies. The more you have to choose from, and the more policies you have available to you, the more you are going to save on the price, and the better the coverage you are going to find when the time comes to choose your insurer.

Anencephaly is the absence of a large part of the brain and the skull.
Alternative Names
Aprosencephaly with open cranium
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Anencephaly is one of the most common neural tube defects. Neural tube defects are birth defects that affect the tissue that grows into the spinal cord and brain.
Anencephaly occurs early in the development of an unborn baby. It results when the upper part of the neural tube fails to close. Why this happens is not known. Possible causes include environmental toxins and low intake of folic acid by the mother during pregnancy.
Anencephaly occurs in about 1 out of 10,000 births. The exact number is unknown, because many of these pregnancies result in miscarriage. Having one infant with this condition increases the risk of having another child with neural tube defects.
- Absence of the skull
- Absence of the brain (cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum)
- Facial feature abnormalities
- Heart defects
Signs and tests
A pregnancy ultrasound is done to confirm the diagnosis. The ultrasound may reveal too much fluid is in the uterus. This condition is called polyhydramnios.
Other tests that may be done on the pregnant mother:
- Amniocentesis (to look for increased levels of alpha-fetoprotein)
- Alpha-fetoprotein level (increased levels suggest a neural tube defect)
- Urine estriol level
A pre-pregnancy serum folic acid test may also be done.
There is no current therapy. Talk to your doctor about care decisions.
Expectations (prognosis)
This condition usually causes death within a few days.
Calling your health care provider
A health care provider usually detects this condition during routine prenatal testing and ultrasound. Otherwise, it is recognized at birth.
If anencephaly is detected before birth, further counseling will be needed.
It is important for women who may become pregnant to get enough folic acid.
There is good evidence that folic acid can help reduce the risk of certain birth defects, including anencephaly. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should take a multivitamin with folic acid every day. Many foods are now fortified with folic acid to help prevent these kinds of birth defects.
Getting enough folic acid can reduce the chance of neural tube defects by 50 percent.
For specific recommendations, see folic acid (folate).

Copyright is a term that refers to the set of exclusive rights granted to a creator of an original work.
Copyright applies to a wide variety of creative works including literary works, film, musical works, artistic works and many other kinds of Intellectual Property. Copyright holders (the original creator and their heirs) may sell or license certain rights, thereby authorizing others to broadcast or distribute a work. Copyright applies to the expression of an idea, never the idea itself.[1]
Copyright is time-limited, by varying lengths depending on the type of work and the jurisdiction. Once the copyright has expired, a work is considered to be part of the Public Domain.[2]
Copyright also varies from country to country - something that is Public Domain in one country may not be in another.
Fans on Copyright
For more information about fanworks and how copyright affects them, see Legal Analysis. The Organization for Transformative Works also have more information. Fanvids are also affected by the DMCA if they need to rip from DVD.
Fans have traditionally suffered from Cease & Desist notices. A more recent development has been Creative Commons licenses which support remixing and fanworks. Some professional authors have different fanfic policies, though these may vary in their legal effect.

Love this dress!
Par Northern Gal
de NL
I love everything about this dress: the softly flowing material, the beautiful print, the style, and, of course, the clearance price. This dress is very figure flattering and comfortable. I've gotten lots of compliments on it. Lennie's line of clothing has become one of my favorites.
( 1 of 1 clients ont trouvé ce commentaire utile)
Sizing was w-a-y off!
Par M.L.
de Montreal
I used to love Lennie's clothes. Seventy five per cent of the clothes in my closet were Lennie for Nina Leonard. But over the past year or so, that has changed. I agree with the viewers about the sizing on this dress. The empire waist was at my waist and the dress just hung there. I took it right off and sent it back the same day.
Dress is very vibrant and stunning.
Par Dolly
de Sydney N.S.
Hi I ordered this dress in the cobalt blue and the dress is amazing.The dress is very slimming and when I tried the dress on for a couple of my friends they said the dress was amazing on me and when I wore it to the dance I received a lot of complements and asked were I purchased the dress.The only thing is when I order the dress by size I followed the chart and ordered extra large and it was to big. So I ordered the dress by bust size and hip size the dress fits perfect. I really love the dress.
Nice Dress
Par Lover of jewellery!
de Toronto
I got this dress in both colours. The size was right. I liked the style and I really liked both colours. It is an easy dress to wear you can wear during the day as well as in the evenings . I gave it a four stars because of the length of the dress which has been constantly lately on the shorter size. A woman should not be wearing a knee size dress as she matures. I used to buy a lot of Lennie's clothes but now because the dresses are shorter I am rarely buying from this line. Having said that the dress is nice.
Par CELTIC

ANOTHER dress that I had to buy in 2 different sizes because of the Empire. Bought both colours and kept them in my regular size which fit better. Didn't find the Empire HIGH on this dress as some of the others in Lennies collection. Got the dresses at a good price with 20% off otherwise I would not have bought them.

Still Love My Lennies
Par SHARON
de ST CATHARINES
I bought my fifth Lennie dress in the multi brown in an XL, my usual size in Lennie's dresses, though I have gained a few pounds since Christmas it still fit me pretty well, just slightly snug in the chest area and upper abdomen, but that's my fault, not Lennies. I normally wear a size 16, my bra size is 40D. The material is very soft but I found it a bit thinner then my other dresses by Lennie, I felt like I should have worn a half slip which I have never had to do with Lennie's dresses before and don't like to so I gave this one a four star instead of my usual five stars and I would still recommend it as it is very pretty and a forgiving style.
Inconsistent Sizing
Par Jill
de MANOTICK
I agree with other reviewers that this dress is inconsistent in sizing. The fit around the bust is too small, the empire seam is too high, the length is too long, and the bow on the dress is too big.It's disappointing that Lennie's dress sizing is so inconsistent.

This dress is very lightweight, classy yet not to dressy. I usually order a medium but found this dress fit a little small compared to Lennie's other dresses. This is a great travel dress.

A Prayer for a Single Mother you may know
Prayer for a Single Mother
Dear God, she seems to bear the weight of the world on her shoulders, but to carry it more lightly than I think I would. I see her balancing work and home, money and no money, friends who no longer make time to see her, and I send up a prayer for her.
Her old friends have moved on with their lives, and in truth, she doesn't have much in common with them anymore. She is lonely, loving God. She would like company but doesn't want to make time for new relationships because her waking hours are already full: she is a mother. She walks when gas is too expensive for the car and forgoes new clothes so her child can have shoes.
This is not how her life started out, but circumstances changed from her life of privilege to this life she embraces so fully. Her life is difficult and she seems so tired much of the time, but I am inspired by the love she has for her child.
Give her the strength to put in long hours each day; the courage to face those who dismiss her with blaming and knowing nods; the ability to maintain her loving life at home; and the deepest knowledge in her heart that you love her.
If you know of anymore, please leave them as a comment. I think sometimes we struggle for the right words to say during prayer, and it's nice to have the words to say.

I am a single mom of 2 children and I acknowledge the feelings presented in the prayer. I want to share with you that I am one that does not get worn out of life, I try to get life "worn out" of me. I do pray that society changes its perception of women, we are not only beautiful but intelligent, strong and our definition of self-sacrifice (as Gahndi said) gives us advantage over men, we just haven't realized it and believed it. Men are the most wonderful "things" walking on this earth, but they need to realize their true value in life, only then would they be able to value women. I encourage every single mom to keep their heads up! Have a plan, work hard and exceed your goals. Become the role model you want your children to learn from, actions speak louder than words.

Antibiotics Are a Primary Cause of Candida Infection
Antibiotics are probably the leading cause of Candida and yeast infections, and are a great example of the important principle that by using technology to solve problems, we create other problems.
Candida infection was virtually unheard of before 1940. It is since the introduction of antibiotics at around that time that Candida has become the widespread problem that it is today.
Antibiotic use kills a percentage of all types of bacteria throughout the whole body, but it does not kill the yeast.
Why do antibiotics cause Candida infections?
Antibiotics are designed to eradicate the bad bacteria that cause certain diseases and infections. While antibiotics destroy bad bacteria and stop the spread of infection, they also destroy the good bacteria that help to keep the Candida in the body under control.
Prolonged or strong doses of antibiotics can lead to an imbalance in gut flora, an imbalance that allows bad bacteria, yeasts and parasites to overgrow in the stomach. If not controlled, the affected person can begin to suffer a slew of negative side effects and yeast infections including:
Taking antibiotics on any recurrent basis, plus eating foods that contain significant amounts of antibiotics (e.g., non-organic meat, eggs and dairy products) may cause a significant reduction in the normal amount of intestinal bacteria causing intestinal yeast (Candida), to grow unchecked. This disturbs the normal ratio of yeast to bacteria in the intestinal tract.
The flora in our intestinal tract is commonly known as our "second immune system." These friendly microbes will attack dangerous bacteria that shouldn't be there; but they are killed off inadvertently by antibiotic misuse.
Birth control pills, steroids, antacid, and anti-ulcer medications such as Tagament, Zantac, Pepcid, and Axid interfere with normal hormonal balance and encourage undesirable yeast overgrowth.
The fact that millions of people suffer from the effects of Candida should not surprise anybody, being, that the overuse of antibiotics has developed into something of a national crisis. People take these drugs for the smallest ailment without giving a second thought to the ramifications of their actions.
Many physicians increasingly and liberally prescribe oral antibiotics, often unnecessarily. It is therefore not at all surprising that intestinal Candida proliferation is becoming an ever-increasing problem.
In the United States alone, an estimated 133 million antibiotic prescriptions are given out a year according to the Government Accounting Office. About half of these are inappropriate or not needed.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the overuse of antibiotics has exploded in the past 10 years, with the public mistakenly taking the medicine for colds, flu and coughs. These types of illnesses are caused by viruses and cannot be helped with antibiotics, which fight bacterial infections.
Do not use antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. If you have to take them for a serious bacterial infection, be sure to recondition your digestive system immediately after taking the antibiotics.
To counteract the bad effects of the the antibiotics on your digestive system:
1. Eat homemade yogurt
Daily consumption of yogurt with active probiotic bacterium, will maintain beneficial long term levels in the stomach and intestines.
Homemade Yogurt contains active cultures that can help restore the good bacteria your body requires.
Yogurt contains Probiotics, bacteria that are beneficial to a person's health, either through protecting the body against pathogenic bacteria or assisting in recovery from an illness. Yogurts containing the bacteria lactobacilli and bifidobacteria show the most promise.
2. Take probiotics
Taking probiotics before, during and after your course of antibiotics can actually help to maintain the balance in your digestive system. Many Candida sufferers question this, thinking that the antibiotics will quickly kill the good bacteria in the probiotics. However, studies have shown probiotics to be effective during antibiotics.
Taking probiotics during your antibiotic treatment can help slow the growth of Candida by filling your gut with beneficial bacteria. Because probiotics maintain the balance in your gut, they also reduce the side effects of the antibiotics. A 2008 study published in the "Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology" found that probiotics actually reduce diarrhea in patients taking antibiotics.
A highly recommended probiotic product for Candida is Primal Defense.
Primal Defense is a whole food probiotic blend containing 14 strains of hardy plant based, non-dairy HSOs (Homeostatic Soil Organisms.) HSOs contain naturally occurring live enzymes, vitamins and minerals designed to optimize the digestive terrain, bowel and immune system function. These unique micro-organisms are shown to devour undigested matter, and eliminate yeast, parasites and bad bacteria from the intestines. Primal Defense contains the same nutrients used for thousands of years by some of the healthiest and longest living people in the world.
How should you take Primal Defense?
To maximize the beneficial effect of the probiotics, take them at least 2 hours apart from your dosage of antibiotics. This way as few as possible of the 'good bacteria' will get killed by the antibiotics in your gut.
Take the probiotics after a meal as this is when your stomach acid is at its lowest. You can take probiotics before, during and after your course of antibiotics.
3. Take Coconut Oil
The medium-chain saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are potent antimicrobial agents, effective against fungi, viruses and many bacteria. The most effective fatty acids are caprylic acid (with 8 carbon atoms), capric acid (10 carbon atoms) and lauric acid (12 carbon). They appear to work by causing microbial cell walls to disintegrate.
Coconut oil appears to be effective against Candida within days.
Coconut oil has long featured in treatment plans for fungal infections like Candida. Dr. Bruce Fife, the author of "The Coconut Oil Miracle," notes that the medium chain fatty acids within the oil have a potent anti-microbial effect. Fife says these special fatty acids, only found in high concentrations in coconut oil, diffuse into the cell membrane of Candida cells before dissolving, causing death of the organism. Caprylic acid has a particular affinity to yeast cells.
Suggested use: With Candida take initially 4 tablespoons of coconut oil spread out during the day, and after improvement you may reduce this to 2 tablespoons for several more weeks..
A highly recommended coconut oil product for Candida is Caproil – CaprylicAcid produced by Inno-Vite Inc.
Caprylic acid, a fatty acid, is a broad-spectrum anti-fungal agent effective against Candida albicans and other fungi, but harmless to friendly intestinal flora.
Caproil, containing liquid caprylic acid (extracted from coconut oil) and oleic acids (in safflower oil), is the fungicidal component of the Attogram products. Caproil contains 1600 mg Caprylic Acid per Tablespoon.
Caprylic acid has been used for years as part of an effective natural cure for Candida, and happens to be one of the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil.
It's reported to be especially helpful for people who suffer adverse reactions to pharmaceutical anti-fungal drugs.
It is effective not only against the yeast form of Candida, but also the invasive form because it is absorbed by the intestinal mucosal cells. Oleic acid hinders conversion of the yeast form of Candida to the more injurious mycelial form. The safflower oil in Caproil is high quality first press and solvent free.

Europeana Semantic Elements (ESE) case study
Polish Digital Libraries Federation
Marcin is the leader of the Digital Libraries Team of PSNC, which acts as the hub of the Polish Digital Libraries Federation, aggregating metadata from Poland's regional and institutional digital libraries. This team also acts as the national coordinator for Europeana Local, and in 2009 became the first Europeana Local coordinator to deliver metadata to Europeana's central index.
Marcin describes the steps towards integrating the Polish content into the Europeana portal.
'The first step towards Europeana was the analysis of the metadata that we aggregate to see how consistent it was with the Europeana Semantic Elements [ESE] and the mapping guidelines.
'Our metadata was Dublin Core simple which mapped to ESE with some normalisation (e.g. we used ISO 639-2 for the DC language element). Another issue was to do with fields specific to the ESE, like 'Europeana type', referring to the nature of the content – text, image, video and audio.
'It was important to establish the standard that would map precisely to ESE across all Polish institutions that contribute data to the Digital Libraries Federation. We gave several presentations to our providers to advise them how to clean and augment their metadata. Cleaning up the metadata was complicated, but once done, allowed for automated transfer.
'We exported XML files from our OAI-PMH interface and uploaded these to the Content Checker. Throughout the process we worked closely with the Europeana Office.
'The Content Checker shows us how records are displaying in a test version of the Europeana interface. We were able to share this display and get feedback from our providers. Some were concerned about how their multilingual records were showing; others wanted to check the display of information about the rights in the objects.
'The next step was for the Europeana Office to test our OAI-PMH interface so they could harvest the records. On 24 November, we completed our work in the Content Checker; on 27 November we had confirmation from Europeana that they were ready to start downloading data from the interface.
'Then it was out of our hands. Europeana harvested the 257,000 records and completed the internal processing. This involved normalising the records and indexing them. Then the Europeana Office let us know as soon as they were ready to go live, which they did on 11 December 2009.'

EczemaNet Article Moisturizing and Cleansing Key to Treating Atopic Dermatitis When it comes to treating atopic dermatitis, dermatologists consider moisturizing and gentle cleansing to be indispensable. Yet, a recent survey revealed that 23% of adults living with atopic dermatitis say they do not do not apply moisturizer and 29% do not use a cleanser. The researchers also found that most of the people who participated in the survey wanted more information about moisturizers and cleansers. Why is Moisturizing So Important? Our skin is our barrier. It protects us from unseen invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful organisms and toxins. Our skin also prevents us from losing large amounts of water. The outermost layer of skin, the stratum corneum, serves as our first line of defense. Some dermatologists call this our "bricks and mortar." When atopic dermatitis develops, the stratum corneum breaks down. With gaps in our bricks and mortar, the skin is more easily irritated. These gaps also make it easier for bacteria and viruses to enter the body. Easier access and the weakened immune system of atopic dermatitis make people more susceptible to infection. The skin also loses moisture more readily, causing dry skin. Studies have shown that when patients with atopic dermatitis properly use a recommended moisturizer, it can help:
Alleviate dry skin. Moisturizer forms a protective coating that reduces the amount of water lost through the skin. This, in turn, decreases dryness, itch, and cracking skin. Depending on the patient's signs and symptoms, it may be necessary to apply moisturizer 4 or more times per day. Moisturizer should always be applied after a shower or bath while the skin is still damp. This locks in moisture.
Boost the skin's protective abilities. Moisturizer forms a protective membrane on the skin. One type of product called a barrier-repair emollient may provide the skin with essential components that can actually repair the damaged stratum corneum. Two small studies showed that a barrier-repair emollient produced dramatic improvement. In one of these studies, 24 children with stubborn to recalcitrant (not responding to treatment) atopic dermatitis were treated with a barrier-repair emollient containing ceramide (a molecule that helps regulate our skin cells and an effective emollient). Fifteen of the children were previously treated with other emollients. The emollient containing ceramide was applied twice a day for 12 weeks. All 24 children showed improvement within 3 weeks. By the end of 12 weeks, there was such significant improvement in all children that the researchers asked for the emollient be applied once a day. With regular once-a-day use, the skin continued to improve. Larger studies are needed to determine if a barrier-repair emollient actually repairs the skin. Research, to date, has not shown whether or not barrier-repair emollients offer any benefit not provided by other emollients.
Increase the effectiveness of topical corticosteroids, and possibly reduce the need for long-term corticosteroid treatment. Researchers have found that using both a topical corticosteroid and a moisturizer decreases the signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis better than use of a topical corticosteroid alone. Studies also have found that proper use of a moisturizer along with a topical corticosteroid can reduce the amount of corticosteroid needed. This suggests that using an appropriate moisturizer may reduce the need for long-term corticosteroids.
Reduce skin irritation. One study found that pre-treating skin affected by atopic dermatits with moisturizer before exposing it to dust mite or grass pollen significantly reduced patients' reactions to these substances. More than half of the patients said they would continue using the moisturizer after the study ended. The researchers concluded that moisturizer may help prevent exacerbation in patients with atopic dermatitis; however, more research is needed.
Improve the skin's appearance. A large-scale study found that applying certain lipid-rich moisturizers significantly improved the condition of skin affected by atopic dermatis. During this study, patients either applied a lipid-rich moisturizer alone or the lipid-rich moisturizer and a topical corticosteroid. In many cases, the moisturizer alone was as effective as the moisturizer plus corticosteroid in relieving dryness and scaling in patients. However, when it came to reducing the redness and itch, the corticosteroid plus moisturizer was more effective. This finding suggests that once the atopic dermatitis is under control, a moisturizer alone may be all that is needed.
Gentle Cleansing Essential Cleansing the skin helps keep it healthy. Washing removes oils, dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells, and a number of other substances. The key to cleansing skin affected by atopic dermatitis is to be gentle because the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, is damaged and fragile. Rubbing, scrubbing, peeling, microdermabrasion, and exfoliating can cause more damage as can harsh soaps. Soap can dry the skin and worsen itching. Mesh sponges, abrasive scrubs, and woven face cloths should not be used as they also can further damage the skin. Anything that increases damage to the skin can cause a flare-up and block the effects of treatment. When washing, be sure to use a mild cleanser and to gently apply it with your fingertips. Cleanser should be rinsed off with lukewarm water. Dermatologists recommend that cleanser never be applied to skin that has flared. Even the mildest cleanser can be quite irritating when skin has flared.
Ask a Dermatologist for Product Recommendations With the number of moisturizers, emollients, and cleansers on the market, trying to choose suitable products can boggle the mind. Typing the word "moisturizer" in a popular Internet search engine yields more than 2 million results. If that is not challenge enough, certain ingredients in these products can cause folliculitis (a type of skin inflammation that may resemble acne) or prickly heat in people living with atopic dermatitis. And, did you know that products containing glycerin and rose water — ingredients used to effectively moisturize skin — can increase dryness in skin affected by atopic dermatitis? To help sort through the options, you may want to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. After considering a number of factors, such as the severity of your atopic dermatitis and overall health, the dermatologist can recommend suitable products. This can save you time and money. During this appointment, the dermatologist also can show you how to apply cleanser and moisturizer to get optimal results.

Earlier this week Prime Minister Gordon Brown delivered an interesting speech to the Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference in Oxford. He talked of the power of today's technology in organising and uniting communities around the world on particular issues, such as climate change, the financial crisis or matters of foreign policy, and said that this citizen empowerment meant that we could create a "truly global society", that foreign policy "can never be the same again" and could "no longer be run by elites".

From the Archives: Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
How to Build A Bridge: Reviewing "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright (Part 1)
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
New Creation: The Hermeneutic of Love
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
Christ, Trinity, and Creation, Part 2
Christ is the reason the natural sciences work: he is the source of the laws of nature, and he contains and underpins the natural sciences. Christ is the pattern for all created things, while the Spirit – his presence in the created world – breathes the divine fire into the equations.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Interpreting Adam: Introduction
Four Views on the Historical Adam shows that evangelical Christians are far from agreeing on the particulars of Adam and Eve. But this book also makes clear that there is strong agreement among evangelical Christians on the fundamentals of the Christian faith. We agree that all Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative, even while disagreeing on the interpretation of some passages.
Creation Out of Nothing
The key point of continuity between redemption and creation is the idea that the future can be different from the past, i.e., the key is eschatology. More abstractly put, God does new things.
"The Language of God" Book Club – Chapter 4
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
The Challenge of Cosmology
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief (12 entries)
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Looking at the Collapsing Universe in the Bible
The language of a collapsing universe is related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order."
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."

Nicholas Hoult's screen career began when he played the wee moppet that Hugh Grant befriends in "About A Boy." We filed him away in our Adorable Children File and forgot about him. And then several years later, Hoult reappeared, as scummy-sexy Tony in the UK version of "Skins" and we were smitten with his Legally-Actually-An-Adult Hotness (he's 23!). Since then, he's appeared in films like "A Single Man" and "X-Men: First Class," and snagged a hot girlfriend you may have heard of … Jennifer Lawrence (though the pair just recently split up).

It's finally game week! In the past, we've limited these lists to just the top 25 players, but this season, we're upping our game to 50. So just about every day until the season starts, there will be a new player profile up here as we count down to the top ACC player for 2013.
Obviously these lists are always completely subjective — and thus "completely bulletproof" — so feel free to weigh in with your own thoughts in the comments, too.
No. 8, Timmy Jernigan, DT/Florida State (Last Season: NR)
Due to the tremendous amount of depth on Florida State's defense, Timmy Jernigan wasn't even a starter last season. And yet, even playing inconsistent minutes, the now-junior still managed an impressive 45 tackles — including eight TFLs and 1.5 sacks. Where Jernigan's strength lies is a mix between his lower center of gravity (6'2″ isn't short by any means, but compared to many of FSU's other linemen, it's shorter) and his massive 294-pound weight. Even in his limited playing time last year, he managed to literally throw that weight around, overpowering his blockers while giving the team a fresh set of legs off the bench. Now as the team's starting defensive tackle, can he consistently produce at the same level, though?
That may actually depend on some of his cohorts. With all of last year's starters gone, that protection automatically vanishes, plus there's the concern for what happens without elite pass-rushers like Tank Carradine and Bjoern Werner, both now in the NFL. Of course, Mario Edwards is no slouch, and for what it's worth, I see him as a potential breakout star this season. But now that he's the biggest name of all on the line, that turns Jernigan into the focus of every gameplan. It's an honor, obviously, and the type of hype most players dream of. However, it's also a burden, and if there's anything that could possibly slow Jernigan down this year, that's likely it.

I need some ground cover that will take summer heat in western Kansas. We get over 100 degrees on many occasions. I need it to remain green all year. Is there anything you can think of? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm giving you the same answer I just gave another poster in the thread below: Yes, I've had great success with Blue Star Creeper! Here an a excerpt from an eBay seller, but you should be able to order it from any nursery or on-line nursery. Blue Star Creeper (Laurentia fluviatilis) is not very well-known, but is a very tough groundcover. Its dainty appearance belies its true nature. Light blue flowers bloom from Spring to Fall. Mature height is 3". Foliage is evergreen in warmer climates and semi-evergreen in colder areas. Prefers full sun to light shade and moist soil. Tolerates foot heavy foot traffic (3 or more times daily)! Perfect for mass plantings and naturalizing. A nice low maintenance plant. Good for USDA climate zones 5 or 6 to 10. |

I guess I should have stated that we are hot and dry. The blue star creeper looks nice but needs more water than we can supply. Thanks. |
I would suggest creeping thyme. Last year I planted some and after a couple of weeks of watering to let it get established I didn't water it at all. It was one of the dryest summers here and the temperatures got pretty hot too. They are all still doing fine. I have mowed it and walked on it and they come back fine. In the winter they don't really stay green but they turn a mahogany like color which is kind of pretty. I have never seen them die back at all. Hope that helps |
Well, I'm not so sure Blue Star Creeper needs all that much moisture. I planted it around May and NEVER watered it -- it simply tolerated whatever rain it got. Now if your rains are much less than occasional, then perhaps it is not a good choice -- but I still would not overlook this plant. You might want to try just one to see how well it tolerates "abuse." Good Luck |

Designer Anna Marinenko has created a symbolic tribute to Japan through her prototype creation of the Japan Clock.
The Japan Clock is modelled after the Japanese flag, with two circular, plastic plates, one red and one white. The plates rotate together; the red plate displaying the hour number and the white plate, with a pointer, distinguishing the minutes. Additionally, the red plate can be used to write notes on. The clock is a great piece for any minimalistic, modern space.
Anna Marinenko also said she was inspired by blood drops and circles on the water.
The Japan Clock is simplistic and pays a tribute to Japan's disaster. Marinenko's design is flawless and serves as a constant reminder about healing time and moving forward.

When Sushi Wabi closed last year after losing its lease, it was the end of an era.
And the start of the Dark Ages for Chicago sushi.
But now it's leading the Renaissance under a new name, Sushi Dokku, in a new space right across the street from its old location on Randolph Street.
Relying on a minimalist décor of dark wood tables and booths, Dokku offers views of new neighbors Little Goat and Nellcote from a long counter overlooking the open kitchen and small bar.
Snack on small plates of fried shishito peppers and udon noodles, or let the experts do what they do best and order from the menu of chef's nigiri bites.
When the time arrives to tackle the dragon roll, whose absence has left a gaping sushi-sized hole in your soul, make sure you're properly hydrated with one of four Japanese beers or a sake cocktail like the sakerita (sake, house-made sour, and fresh cucumber).
Now that they've re-mastered the art of dinner, they plan to begin serving lunch and delivering to the Loop and West Loop for those of us still living through the Dark Ages of another Chicago winter.
Uni in 30 minutes or less? Sounds like an Age of Enlightenment to us.
Price: 3 (out of 4)
Noise: 2 (out of 4)
Subway: Green or Pink Line to Morgan
Scene: Chopstick-wielding foodies longing for the sushi king's rebirth
Best bets: Ikura; Godzilla; mini filet mignon
Nearby: Little Goat; Nellcote; Haymarket

"Long used as a strategy for engaging the public on public health issues," Nisbet and Scheufele write, "active involvement with Hollywood in the construction of messages about science can lead to a range of outcomes including informal learning, enhanced interest and attention to science in news coverage and other media, the modeling of positive behavior related to environmental sustainability or energy use, the favorable framing of controversial issues such as the teaching of evolution in schools, or even a spike in news or policy attention to a scientific topic such as climate change."
Of course, it would not be surprising to find that there are many more examples of Hollywood totally confusing the public's understanding of science instead of improving it. To that end, Nisbet and Scheufele cite an interesting program recently launched by the National Academy of Sciences, called "The Science & Entertainment Exchange." According to the program's Web site, it "provides entertainment industry professionals with access to top scientists and engineers to help bring the reality of cutting-edge science to creative and engaging storylines." The goal is to improve the accuracy and clarity of science's portrayal in the arts.
It's already doubtful that entertainment executives promoting Ida, the 47-million year old primate fossil, will strive for a similar degree of accuracy and clarity. [Update, May 22: In fact, it has become readily apparent that they did just the opposite.] In their paper, the researchers who analyzed the skeleton noted that it could represent a primate "stem group" from which today's monkeys, apes, and humans evolved, but carefully added that "we are not advocating this." As such, The New York Times article responsibly pointed out that:
[D]espite a television teaser campaign with the slogan "This changes everything" and comparisons to the moon landing and the Kennedy assassination, the significance of this discovery may not be known for years.
Nisbet also noted that his "chief concern" about promoting the fossil is that the media blitz will overstate its import. "The careful balance between innovation in public engagement and the avoidance of hype is something that [Scheufele and I] also address in the working paper," he wrote. "In particular, when this type of 'going broad' strategy is applied around a single discovery or finding rather than a broader scientific subject or body of research, the probability of hype is deeply magnified."
That last bit of advice is especially sage. Ida is certainly unique and important enough to warrant a major media blitz. But one hopes that her promoters will characterize the fossil remains as a single fascinating piece of evidence among many others. And they should add that, far from settling the debate about our primate ancestors, the latest analysis raises more questions than it answers.
Fortunately, most newspaper accounts have played the story pretty straight, stressing that Ida is a monumental discovery while adding appropriate words of caution. [Update, May 22: Zimmer is, of course, right to stress that many reporters, especially bloggers, failed to contact outside paleontologists for comment. But, as Charlie Petit has observed, while the History Channel documentary is suspect "… it appears that relatively few major outlets went along with, or boosted, the hyperbolic exaggeration of the scientific significance of this wondrously well-preserved specimen as related to them by publicists from outfits deeply invested in making money via Ida's sudden new status as commodity.]
Coverage, however, has been fairly limited so far (relative to stories without the benefit of a massive promo campaign, at least), casting some doubt the emergence of a "mediacene age," as the Times put it. [Update, May 22: This post was published shortly after the kick-off event at the Museum of Natural History. Coverage swelled to a fairly impressive level in the hours and days since then, culminating, as Zimmer put it, in "the ultimate triumph of pop-culture consciousness, having become for the moment the background image on the main Google search page." Still, I can't help but notice that the number of Google News returns for this story isn't that much higher than it was other for science sensations such as Mars Rover's discovery of ice or the opening (and crash) of the Large Hadron Collider – but I could be mistaken.]
