The Stimulating Truth About Energy Drinks
They can boost performance, but concerns about health risks are on the rise.
Everyone needs a quick pick-me-up now and then, but are we becoming a nation of energy addicts? So it would seem, based on skyrocketing sales of caffeine-infused products. Today's 24/7 culture, long work hours and poor sleep habits drain stamina and encourage us to guzzle liquid pep to combat daily sluggishness. Energy drinks, with edgy names and catchy slogans, have captured the youth market, igniting sales—and side effects (Seifert et al. 2011).
Energy beverages can invigorate consumers with a combination of sugar, caffeine and other ingredients, but they are also inviting increased public and medical scrutiny thanks to a plethora of reports linking their consumption to serious secondary effects and even deaths (Blankson et al. 2013). Energy drinks can cause significant health problems if consumed in large amounts or by certain populations.
Caffeine, the major ingredient, has been used for decades as a safe ergogenic aid, yet reports suggest it is causing many of these adverse effects. An avalanche of conflicting information has left many fitness professionals puzzling over how to advise clients on the risks and benefits of caffeinated energy boosters. This article highlights the latest information about energy drinks and their kin, providing strategies to support their safe consumption.
Taisho Pharmaceuticals invented the first energy drink, Lipovitan D, a half-century ago (Meier 2013) to help night employees stay awake. Still available today, Lipovitan D counts taurine, B vitamins, nicotine and caffeine among its ingredients. In the 1980s, super-caffeine-infused Jolt® Cola became a hit on college campuses. Red Bull®, the king of today's market, was introduced to the United States in 1997 (Meier 2013). Since then, hundreds of energy products, from beverages to candy, have flooded the market, promising increased focus and physical agility.
The alertness industry is big business, with energy drinks and shots netting $12.5 billion in 2012, a 60% jump from 2006 (Meier 2013; Packaged Facts 2013). Energy drink manufacturers see teens and college students as their biggest customers, with 30%–50% of this age group regularly consuming energy drinks to lift mental fog and boost athletic performance (Seifert et al. 2011). Shrewd marketing catapults the popularity of these drinks by enticing young males, in particular, with the assurance of gaining a competitive edge. Young consumers cite sleep deprivation, peer pressure, need for energy and sports performance as reasons for gulping energy brews (Taddeo, Harvey & Boutin 2012).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating unconfirmed reports of 13 deaths and various adverse events allegedly linked to energy products (FDA 2012a; FDA 2012b). While some drinks serve up moderate levels of caffeine and B vitamins in 8- to 24-ounce cans, there are also high-octane varieties called energy shots, which cram excessive doses of caffeine and B vitamins into 2-ounce servings and have been linked to numerous health complications (FDA 2012a).
Energy drinks have been associated with seizures, headaches, rapid heart rate, chest pains, irritability and anxiety (Iyadurai & Chung 2007). New-onset seizures are linked to heavy consumption (>24 ounces) on an empty stomach or if combined with another high-caffeine product (Iyadurai & Chung 2007). Deaths and other serious events occurred in children (Bronstein et al. 2011) and teens with pre-existing cardiac conditions (Meier 2012).
Combining energy drinks with alcohol is a hazardous college trend (Marczinski 2011). This duo can mask alcohol's sedative effect, and each raises dopamine levels, stimulating the desire to drink both (Greenemeier 2010). College students with a history of consuming this volatile mixture are more likely to participate in or be the victim of risky behaviors (Howland & Rohsenow 2013).
Energy drinks are frequently used to increase athleticism. In a survey of U.S. college students (Hoyte, Albert & Heard 2013), 80% of those who said they participated in sports at various levels reported having used an energy drink within the past year to enhance athletic performance. Among sports players, 84% men and 74% of women said they consumed energy drinks. Semipro and intercollegiate players were more likely to use energy drinks than their intramural and club peers.
The International Society of Sports Nutrition's (Campbell et al. 2013) position paper on energy drinks states that the ergogenic value of caffeine is well supported. Energy drinks can improve mental focus and anaerobic and/or endurance performance if consumed 10–60 minutes before exercise, the paper states, but it adds that many energy drinks contain additional ingredients whose benefits or other effects are not yet known. Low-calorie energy beverages may help with weight loss, but sugary energy drinks may incite weight gain and spike insulin levels (Campbell et al. 2013).
Athletes should consider the high sugar concentration when selecting an energy drink. Children and adolescents should use energy drinks only under parental supervision and be able to recognize the side effects. Indiscriminant use is not recommended. People with diabetes, cardiovascular disease or other metabolic or physical disorders should avoid energy drinks (Campbell et al. 2013).
What is it about energy drinks that produces negative health effects? Most point the finger at caffeine, but is this generally recognized as safe (GRAS) ingredient the culprit?
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that is easily absorbed; blood values peak within an hour after ingestion. The half-life of caffeine is 5–12 hours, but alcohol will extend its stay in the body (Campbell et al. 2013). Most adult men and nonpregnant women can tolerate 500 milligrams a day (about four or five 8-ounce cups of coffee) without significant side effects (Sepkowitz 2013). Children may experience caffeine-induced irritability, anxiety, cardiac abnormalities and sleep issues with lower doses, so their caffeine intake should be <100 mg/day (Torpy & Livingston 2013; Health Canada 2011). Highly caffeinated energy drinks have no place in the diets of children or adolescents, according to the Committee on Nutrition and the Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness (2011).
Caffeine is frequently used as an ergogenic aid despite its diuretic effect. >> Consumed 45–60 minutes prior to anaerobic exercise, energy drinks containing about 2 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body mass may improve total lifting, but they have no effect on repeated high-sprint or agility performance (Davis & Green 2009; Campbell et al. 2013). However, performance may improve if caffeine is consumed 10–40 minutes before an aerobic activity such as cycling or running (Campbell et al. 2013). Sugar-free versions of energy drinks produced no improvement in high-intensity run time to exhaustion in young adults (Candow et al. 2009).
The FDA limits caffeine in soft drinks to 71 mg per 12 ounces, but it does not regulate caffeine in dietary supplements like energy drinks or products. Supplement manufacturers must list caffeine in the ingredients but do not need to list actual quantities (Rath 2012). Energy beverages contain different amounts of caffeine, and the quantities listed on labels are often inaccurate (Consumer Reports 2012; Blankson et al. 2013).
Many energy drinks contain guarana, a South American botanical packed with 40 mg of caffeine per gram. Caffeine from guarana is not typically included in the caffeine tally listed on energy drink labels (Blankson et al. 2013).
Caffeine-infused candy, chewing gum, marshmallows, Cracker Jack®, energy sheets that dissolve on the tongue and potato chips have inundated today's market. Ingesting caffeine from multiple sources throughout the day can add up, triggering insomnia, irritability, rapid heartbeat and anxiety (Wolk, Ganetsky & Babu 2012).

For adults over 18 who have an appetite for energy drinks, here are some tips to avoid crashing:
- Limit intake to 16 or fewer ounces and read label serving sizes.
- Consume within the hour before playing a sport.
- Limit total caffeine intake to <500 mg/day.
- Drink water.
- Avoid caffeine within 4–6 hours of bedtime.
- Don't combine with alcohol.
- Don't quit cold turkey. Gradually decrease daily intake.
- If you have a health condition or take medications, talk to your doctor about how excessive caffeine might affect your health.
Trent is a 20-year-old college student and intercollegiate football player who works outs daily and wants that extra competitive edge. Trent tells his trainer he's been experiencing headaches, insomnia, rapid heart rate, irritability, upset stomach and facial flushing. He wonders if energy drinks are causing his misery. The team trainer sends Trent to the dietitian, who asks him to complete a food record and to return the next day with a can of energy drink, all of his supplements and the completed food record.
Trent is drinking three 16-ounce cans of SuperXX energy drink daily. Each can contains 160 mg of caffeine and 200% of the Daily Value (DV) for niacin and B6, plus guarana, taurine, carnitine and 100 mg of ginseng. He takes two mega-multivitamins every day and uses a protein powder. His total niacin intake from supplements is 153 mg. Trent's caffeine from energy drinks is 480 mg, but he buys a 16-ounce breakfast-blend coffee every morning; he doesn't drink much water.
The dietitian surmises that Trent's headaches, irritability and rapid heart rate are likely due to excessive caffeine intake from a combination of energy drinks and coffee. Guarana, ginseng and/or dehydration are probably contributing too. His excessive niacin intake is likely causing the facial flushing. High sugar content in the energy drinks and lack of water explain the stomach trouble.
The dietitian recommends an immediate appointment with the team doctor and suggests that Trent do the following:
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day.
- Take one multivitamin.
- Find a protein powder with lower B vitamin levels.
- Decrease his intake of energy drinks—gradually, to avoid caffeine withdrawal. The dietitian suggests decreasing consumption by one can a day every 2–3 days so that after a week, Trent is drinking just one can per day. Then he should switch to a smaller serving size.
- Drink the energy drink within an hour before playing a sport and avoid consuming it close to bedtime.
- Decrease morning coffee intake by buying a smaller size or by switching to a 16-ounce half-caf.
After 10 days, Trent reports that his headaches are gone, he's sleeping better and his mood has improved. He still drinks one energy drink a day but does so within the hour before playing football. Trent sticks with water or a low-sugar sports drink most of the time.
Many are quick to blame caffeine for adverse reactions, but energy drinks are loaded with other ingredients that may trigger rapid heart rate, high blood pressure or heart palpitations when taken in excess (Higgins, Tuttle & Higgins 2010).
Guarana. The Brazilian cocoa seed contains guaranine, a caffeine equivalent that has not been evaluated by the FDA.
Sugar. Energy drinks contain 10%–12% sugar from glucose, sucrose or fructose. The combo of sugar and caffeine may boost athletic and cognitive performance, but this much sugar can cause gastrointestinal upset if consumed before sporting events. Diabetics should avoid high sugar concentrations (Campbell et al. 2013).
Taurine. A conditionally essential amino acid, taurine is abundant in food. Limited evidence suggests it may improve postexercise muscle repair (Higgins, Tuttle & Higgins 2010).
B6 and B12. B vitamins help with digestion and energy utilization. Energy drinks contain >100% of the Daily Value. One 5-hour Energy® shot contains >8,000% of the DV for B12 and 40 mg of B6 (>2,000% DV). Over 100 mg of B6 can trigger a rapid heart rate.
Niacin. Required for energy production, niacin may cause facial flushing and heart palpitations in adults consuming > 150 mg. Many energy drinks contain over 200% of the DV. Children drinking energy beverages will exceed their Recommended Dietary Allowance and may develop flushing and rapid heartbeat more quickly.
Ginseng. This herb is touted as a means of improving athletic performance, mood and immunity. Therapeutic doses, 100–200 mg per day, may cause insomnia, rapid heart rate and hypertension (Higgins, Tuttle & Higgins 2010).
L-carnitine. An amino acid that participates in fat metabolism, L-carnitine may stimulate recovery from exercise stress (Higgins, Tuttle & Higgins 2010).
Trendy energy products promise to propel consumers into a state of strength and vitality, but concerns are mounting as reports indicate an increase in emergency room visits by young people whose intake is high.
Most adults can safely enjoy an occasional energy brew, but children need to steer clear of these beverages. Fitness practitioners are in a unique position to educate clients on the potential side effects of caffeine-infused products and to instruct on their safe use as an effective ergogenic aid.

What are the key statistics about testicular cancer?
The American Cancer Society's estimates for testicular cancer in the United States for 2014 are:
- About 8,820 new cases of testicular cancer will be diagnosed.
- About 380 men will die of testicular cancer.
The rate of testicular cancer has been increasing in the United States and many other countries for several decades. The increase is mostly in seminomas. Experts have not been able to find reasons for this increase. Lately, the rate of increase has slowed.
Testicular cancer is not common; a man's lifetime chance of developing testicular cancer is about 1 in 270.
The average age at the time of diagnosis of testicular cancer is about 33. This is largely a disease of young and middle-aged men, but about 6% of cases occur in children and teens, and about 7% occur in men over the age of 55.
Because testicular cancer usually can be treated successfully, a man's lifetime risk of dying from this cancer is very low: about 1 in 5,000. If you would like to know more about survival statistics, see the section, "Testicular cancer survival rates."

It's a hard job, but we decided it had to be done:
Take every varsity high school coach who's flexed their knowledge, experience, acumen, management and especially psychology abilities at one time (or more) since August. Stir them all into one large bowl, and use a colander to sift through and leave behind a magnificent seven.
A field of hundreds has been whittled into seven finalists for our Varsity Xtra coach of the year, a transcendent group of men and women whose programs succeeded on and off the field. Some had expectations, most were unexpected rises to riches, but all of them - whether listed here or not - do this for reasons way beyond financial or personal glory.
They've succeeded and taken others with them down rewarding roads during the 2009-10 school year, but come next week, only one will win.
Tyler Dumas: Dobson girls basketball
Proof that neighborhood kids can still win today. Dobson finished fourth in the Central Region thanks to four losses against Gilbert and three more against Highland, but the Mustangs won their first 5A-I playoff game in Dumas' five years - and never stopped. They beat Mountain Pointe, Tucson and a dangerous, pressure-happy Chandler squad in the semifinals. In an overtime thriller, Dobson got a couple late gifts from guard Andrea Jones and handled St. Mary's pressure well enough to win the school's first state championship in a 61-59 overtime thriller. A 6-foot-4 Kameron Knutson to go with guards Johnelle Hannah and Jones made life easier, but Dumas and his staff had the Mustangs as ready for the Knights' press as possible with little preparation time.
Bob Fredericks: Scottsdale Christian boys basketball
A 28-1 record and the 2A state title is reason enough for Fredericks to make this list. But the way he kept the Eagles afloat during the absence of star Hayden Johnson for three weeks makes him even more deserving. Johnson, a 6-foot-7 senior forward, was sidelined with a partially collapsed lung in early January. The Eagles didn't skip a beat, winning all nine games he missed and then picked up where they left off upon his return to capture the state title. It is Fredericks' fifth school.
Teresa Hodge: Corona del Sol boys cross country
The Aztecs ran surprisingly well at the state meet, finishing in second place in 5A-I behind champion Phoenix Alhambra. Corona del Sol finished higher than Mountain View and Desert Vista, among others. The Aztecs had three runners in the top 10, led by Garrett Baker-Slama's third-place run. The second-place finish was the cross country team's best since winning the 5A title in 1992.
Kelley Moore: Mesa football
During offseason workouts, the Jackrabbits' third-year coach convinced his team that it was good enough to make a run at the state title. With a roster lacking in elite talent, Moore was given some odd glances by people who heard of his high expectations. But Mesa played well enough early in the regular season to overcome a week of mass player suspensions and some narrow Fiesta Region losses to grab a No. 11 seed for the 5A-I state tournament. After most pundits thought the Jackrabbits would miss the playoffs completely, they knocked off No. 6 Red Mountain, No. 3 Brophy and No. 2 Mountain Pointe in succession - all road games - to make the championship game and inspire a community outreach. The Jackrabbits were blown out by Hamilton, but it was an impressive run.
Scott Smith: Mesquite girls soccer
Cut from the same cloth as his brother, Corona del Sol coach Matt Smith, they both make a solid case for being in this spot after Corona went to the state championship match as a No. 15 seed. But Mesquite won four total matches in 2008-09 before Scott Smith was hired away after years as an assistant under Matt. His work ethic and disciplinary style yielded results, as Mesquite went 14-7-2 in Smith's first season at the helm. The other Smith and Corona got the best of Mesquite, 1-0, in a 5A-I state quarterfinal match that was every bit as close as the final score, but the Wildcats had already proved their point.
Sarah VanCleave: Higley girls golf
The Higley boys team has a history of success dating back to the school's 3A days earlier in the decade, but not the girls. VanCleave helped change that this year. The first-year coach took a group of kids - including a handful who never picked up a club before August - and showed them the ropes in arguably the most difficult sport to consistently succeed in. The Knights took second to eventual 4A-II champion Notre Dame in the regional championship to earn their first state tournament appearance in school history. Led by junior Aubri McKee (fifth place) and senior Mailin Mathiser (seventh place), the Knights again finished in second place behind the Saints.
Norris Vaughan: Mountain Pointe football
Despite having pretty good athletes, the Pride went just 6-14 in the two years before Vaughan arrived from Wickenburg. He brought with him a solid history of success, and the turnaround was quick. Mountain Pointe rattled off an undefeated regular season and didn't lose a game until the 5A-I state semifinals to Mesa. The Pride finished 12-1 this year, a 10-game improvement from 2008, and Vaughan deserves a good deal of credit for the schemes and expectations he brought in from the outset.

Everything Baby Etiquette
Posted By Megan B On April 7, 2010 @ 7:00 am In Family | 6 Comments
As Shutterfly's Card Stylist, I review many of the stationery options available for moms today. It can be an incredibly overwhelming time for expectant mothers and new moms, and there are a lot of choices to weed through. So I've put together a few tips to make the process more manageable. Here are a few things you can keep in mind when selecting your stationery:
Choosing the announcement
Now, comes the fun part – choosing the announcement that's right for you. I recommend that you actually start your search prior to the baby's arrival. There is usually more down time prior to your baby's arrival, so you'll have a chance to think things through. Get as much out of the way as possible! You could even pre-order your address labels (if you've decided on a design) and envelopes, then have them addressed to your family and friends so that all you'll need to worry about later is entering in the pertinent information.
Before the baby's arrival
What is your style? What is the baby's personality? This will be your baby's first introduction into the world and you want to make sure the announcement makes a statement. What does his/her nursery look like – is it modern or classic? Match your and baby's style with appropriate shower invitations, announcements and thank yous.
We recommend narrowing it down to 2-3 options and making the final choice after the little one is here. Try different announcements [1] and fonts with baby's full name to see what best highlights the moniker. Shutterfly offers a great interactive tool [2] to help. Try it out [2].
When your bundle of joy arrives
Once your baby has arrived you can make a final decision, select the card, and order it. Common etiquette says that you send out the announcement within 3 months of the baby's arrival. If more than three months have passed since the baby's birth, consider including the birth announcement as an insert along with a holiday card or an announcement that includes news about the entire family. And don't forget to order extras for the baby album.
Since you have already pre-ordered your address labels and filled out addresses you are able to quickly get them out to your loved ones in no time.
Thank you cards
Also consider ordering personalized matching thank yous at this time that coordinate back to your announcement. Gifts and best wishes will arrive once your loved ones receive the announcement…not to mention the baby showers, evenings with friends, etc.
There are several components to writing an appreciative thank you card.
Timing is of the essence. You should have thank you notes on hand after announcing your pregnancy so that you can write your thank you cards without delay. Thank you notes for birth announcements should be mailed within a few days of receiving the gift. You have a bit more time after a shower since you will have more to write.
Sincerity is another key component of a genuine thank you card. Be sure to say "what" you are thanking them for by listing the items they gave you and it is always heartfelt if you can say how you are looking forward to using those items or comment on how adorable or helpful they are.
Share sites
Another great option is to create a Share site [3] personalized for you and your baby, so that you can easily keep your loved ones informed. You can even create it prior to the birth to share your progress. Then once the baby is born you can share "first minute" photos, blog about the big day, provide updates to your loved ones as the baby grows and progresses. Shutterfly's Share sites are great because unlike most, they are totally customizable and password protected. Just choose your member list, customize the site, and share!

If you haven't already identified it in so many words, the purpose of the exercise is this:
To demonstrate your skills and capabilities in the most concise way possible.
There are a lot of things going on in this statement so I'm going to break them down into bite-sized chunks.
DemonstrateDemonstrating is more than just saying, 'Here it is!' It requires you to 'convince' and 'prove'. These are basic communicative skills and if you don't acquire them, you are at a major disadvantage in this business.
Skills and capabilitiesYou might well be capable of making a very nice dinner for two but that doesn't necessarily make you a chef. In Web design, you might be quite happy to produce a logo or rollover button but without knowing 'why' it works, you can't really call it a skill. A skill is something that you can do better than most other people. It is a unique ability that makes you a valuable resource to a client or employer.
ConcisePeople are busy and don't like to have their time wasted. Not only do you have to convince your prospect that you are the best possible person for the job, you have to do it in the shortest possible time. Busy people will resent you taking up any of their time and will look for the first opportunity to dismiss you. Initial impressions are very important!

MISSOULA - Do you drink out of a metal water bottle? Some such bottles are now considered unsafe, but one local water company is offering replacements.
After nationally reported incidents this week of children getting their tongues stuck in narrow-necked metal bottles, Mountain Water Company is offering to replace any such container with a safer, wider-mouthed bottle.
Mountain Water Company has provided low-cost metal bottles in the past as part of its "Hit the Tap" program, which encourages people to use reusable containers as an alternative to disposable plastic bottles.
President John Kappes says the company will replace any metal bottle from any manufacturer that has a smaller mouth and machine threading.
"We do take serious providing safe clean water to this community and we see this as a potential hazard, so...we're going to be sending out information and posters to the child care centers, pediatrics, and those types of areas to try and get this word out," Kappes explained.
Anyone who would like to exchange a bottle for a safer one free-of-charge, can do so at Mountain Water Company's West Broadway location.
Kappes says the company will work with a recycler for the best way to dispose of the unsafe bottles.

I have very fair, neutral skin and can pull off a lot of different blushes, but oddly this pulls orange on me. Sad because it looks so pretty in the jar.

Love the name, love the product. I was a bit disappointed when I received this a year ago. I expected, from the description, it to be more pink. Its definitely more on the peach side of life, and looked much too Orange for my uber pale skin (in EM, I wear fair neutral/ linen). I avoided it for a while, but when I finally got around to trying it, I fell in love. It is a bit more orange on my skin than I had initially wanted, but it is very flattering. It adds such pretty color to my face, with a nice finish.
For me, the blush must be applied very lightly as it is very pigmented.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Warm Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Brown
I was on the fence about trying this, for fear that it would be too orangey, especially since a lot of EDM blushes go on orangey, despite being pink in the jar. However, I'm really glad I gave this blush a try! It's a very wearable, peach shade (definitely peach---I don't know why they describe it as a pink with "some" peach on the site). It's very pigmented, so you only need a little bit if you're fair skinned. I'm NC 15 and Golden Fair in EDM and this color, when applied lightly, makes me look very healthy and alive. The shimmer is about the same as Pink Ribbon. If you're a fan of Pink Ribbon, which to me is a Pinky Peach shade, then this is the true Peach version.

This is my every day go to blush. its very pigmented so you only need a tiny bit to achieve that soft cheek look. or you can build it up to a sparkly pink. Great blush, will definatley re purchase. Although as I only use tiny amounts I'm sure my full size will last me a fair while.

I have this in a sample size jar and I will definitely buy the full size one! I'm NC35-37 and this blush shows up wonderfully on me; it's a peachy pink color with subtle shimmers. I think it'll compliment most fair-medium complexions. It can be worn sparingly or more intense; very pigmented! On my oily skin, it manages to stay on 4-5 hours of outside activity too. Very good blush with affordable price! I seriously think this is better than NARS orgasm if it's not for the packaging. Sure it would be great if it comes in pressed form. :)

I want to give this a 5 but a took 1 lippie off for the packaging, NOT the actual blush. I really wish EDM would make this in a pressed form as the loose can be very messy. However, this blush is my HG everyday blush. The color is a soft natural pink with a very slight peach tone to it. On my fair skin, it looks like my natural blush only better. I was afraid of the sparkles at first since I generally stay away from shimmer at all cost, but it's so fine that it gives my cheeks more glow than "I'm 14 and coat every inch of my body in glitter!". You get a ton of product for you money. I've had mine for about 2 years and i'm nowhere near half-way. Wonderful blush from EDM!

I was hesitant to get this blush, because I already have All Smiles and New Car Smell. I'm so happy I still bought it! Yey! I've found my HG blush!!! It looks so nice, happy, and glowy on my skin when I apply it. I think I look pretty when I have this on. I'm so glad I bought the full size.
Anyway, since I love Snuggle so much, I wanted a backup, but I can't find it on the EDM website anymore. Did they just discontinue this?(!)

This is a pretty blush. I am a Light Medium edm base (nc20-25).
Its a medium pinky-peachy shade, some people compare this to Nars Orgasm. I really wouldn't know, it does look like my ELF duo blush/bronzer, the blush side, excepts its lighter.
I totally freaked out about the amount of shimmer in the product, I don't usually do glitter so I was a bit apprehensive in trying this. But surprisingly it adds more of a glow than chunky amounts of glitter. I thought this wouldn't last the whole day on me because it was so light, but not only did it last the whole day but it lasted several hours walking in a park in a humid tropical country.
I would definitely buy this product again. If you're looking for something natural but adds a slight glow to your cheeks, this is definitely it.

I got a sample of this when they were still going their free sampling kit and I must say that I love it! It's a very pinky corally looking blush that gives you the nicest glow! Goes on great and it's easy to over-apply because it gives such a great colour that you just want to add more!
Overall a really nice colour, texture, product- I love it!

"I tried this and gave some to a friend. It was very good. (I made one small mistake - the 450g tin of crushed pineapple obtainable in Australia is too much - it is closer to 16 ozs.

"Jan, this is just as I remember the taste of the Seafood cocktail sauce. (Previously I had been given a recipe that didn't include cream - it didn't quite taste right.)

Excessive Overkill needs *Coders & Modelors*
I represent a mod called Excessive Overkill for UT. If you haven't played the mod, you really should. It needs some improvement, but is an awesome mod. There is already one coder for the mod working hard on the next version. But, at this rate, it will be until U2 comes out before the next version is released. It needs more *coders and modelors*! Please, this is not a full time thing, if you want to just do a little and then go do something else, that is fine, but it really needs help in the developement, and you will be credited for everything you do, but it needs help. This mod will be ported over to U2 by the coder currently working on it, so you will not be working on anything that will just fade into the past. This is not a very complicated job. Excessive Overkill just tweaks the old weapons basically to make them more powerful and balance everything out. If you have not tried Excessive Overkill before, but think that if you liked the mod, you might code or model some, let me know, and I will be happy to tell you all about the mod and what needs to be done, no obligations. . . .
Please, if you would like to help this mods development and large community, respond to this message. Thank you for your time in reading this message. All I can do is hope to get some worthy resonses. . .

That is one bizzare mod!
Some one had some major insecurities to develope this mod. For those who don't know... Weapons are tweak a little is an understatement of the year! xloc cam land you from one side of face into the other side. min guns fire rockets, at the min gun rate (try to doge that!) shock rifle fire like is on crack and when you combo, it's like a redemeer has gone off, I have got some many ultra kills from that! Flack cannon fire like you are shaking paper on salad! In a small room when few people fire thier weapons you can't see anything but utter mayhem and instant death. The only bad thing about this mod is that you can't kill yourself with your own weapon. This yields to some cheesy flag escape s...like shoot a rocket at your feet and endup in your base. Also make redemeer jumping possible! check it out... it is pretty fun! Mullah
Kick Hard and Blow Bubbles!

Lots of choices.
A lot of things need to be modeled. New weapon models, weapon models ported over from other mods to this one, charactor models, pickup models, camera models, turret models, etc. . .Just about anything that can be modeled!
Of course, like I said, if you are interested, there are no obligations, if you want to half-do a model and then leave the scene or anything like that, that is fine, I'll be happy with anything. Sure, I'd ideally like for someone to stick with the mod forever, but I know that is asking a lot and in most cases too much.

Well, I'm currently helping out with weapons models at the excellent Night's Edge mod, so I don't really have much spare time.
But I have a rather indiscriminate approach to directed work, so if you want to mail me with or direct me to a list of ideas/stuff/to-do's, then should I happen to have the time or inclination I can use it to produce something usefull for you. You can see examples of my static work here.

Questions: Is a letter of the type described prohibited under Rule 7.3?
If not, must the letter contain the information required by Rule 7.3, even though it would not be sent to "prospective clients known to be in need of legal services in a particular matter?"
Summary: Because a letter to other lawyers offering mediation services is not a solicitation to provide legal services to a prospective client, Rule 7.3 does not apply. However, the lawyer must be careful that any communication is not false or misleading in violation of Rule 7.1 and that it does not violate Rule 7.4 regarding claims of expertise or specialization.
Opinion: Mediation is not a legal service, and admission to the Bar is not a prerequisite to service as a mediator. The principle inquiry, therefore, concerns the ethical obligations of a lawyer who offers non-legal services through mail solicitation.
Rule 7.3 governs the solicitation by a lawyer of "professional employment" and does not apply to solicitation materials used by a lawyer offering his or her services in a non-legal capacity. Moreover, Rule 7.3 governs only contacts with "prospective clients." The correspondence described in this inquiry would not be sent to any prospective clients. Indeed, it would be sent only to lawyers, not even directly to the parties involved in any potential mediation. For these reasons, we conclude that Rule 7.3 does not prohibit or govern the content of the proposed communications. This conclusion is in accord with a recent advisory opinion of the Maryland State Bar Association Committee on Ethics (Opinion 93-10, Jan. 1993) digested in 9 ABA/BNA Lawyers' Manual on Professional Conduct 43.
Other general ethical obligations, however, may be implicated by the proposed communication. Most importantly, Rule 7.1 imposes a general obligation on lawyer not to "make a false of misleading communication about the lawyer or the lawyer's services." Thus, to the extent that Lawyer A uses law firm letterhead for the communication, it is important to make clear that Lawyer A is not proposing to offer legal services, and Lawyer A must avoid any suggestion that he or she will be representing any of the parties in the mediation. On the other hand, if Lawyer A does not use law firm letterhead, there would not appear to be a per se obligation to inform the recipient of the fact that A is a lawyer, absent special circumstances that would cause the failure to disclose that information to be misleading.
Lawyer A must avoid any false misrepresentations and, in describing areas of experience, must comply with the requirements of Rule 7.4 regarding the use of terms such as "expert," "authority," or "specialist."

I'm in the beginning planning stages of a complete gut/kitchen remodel. I've hired a designer/architect but don't yet have any of her layout proposals. I have a small city rowhome & my kitchen is fairly small as well. When we met, I told the designer that I don't cook much - but do use the microwave to heat up frozen meals. I heat water for tea & sometimes cook eggs on the range's gas stovetop, but rarely use the oven. She suggested that instead of my current 30" gas range & microwave, I might want to just get a gas cooktop and a wall/over range convection microwave. I'm wondering if convection microwaves work just as well as traditional microwaves for heating frozen meals, microwave popcorn & re-heating leftovers. For someone who is not much of a cook, does this sound like a reasonable option? I'm not planning to sell my house for many years to come, so re-sale value is not that important. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wouldn't give up an actual oven for a convection microwave. I'd get one in addition to, but not as a replacement. Most cooktops are the same price as a full range so it isn't really saving money unless you really want the lower cabinet space. to answer your question, yes, they should work just like traditional microwaves for reheating and such |
Thanks, Zivman. I really rarely use my conventional oven - and since convection microwave ovens are quite a bit more expensive than a regular microwave, I would not get a convection microwave AND a regular oven - that would be too expensive, and take up too much space for me, who doesn't cook much. I could use the extra cabinet space. |
a regular range setup is about the same money as a cooktop in my recent shopping experience, so to pay a premium for a convection microwave + a cooktop isn't really saving you money. It all depends on what specifically you are buying |
Right, but I'd still have to buy an additional microwave - and the two together would take up more space. |
You didn't ask, but check the cfm rating on any over-range microwave exhaust fan. Some of them have much less suction (if that's the right term) than a straight oven hood. |
Thanks, fogbound. Remember, I don't really cook. The truth is, I've never even had a fan or a hood of any kind - I've lived in my house for 15 years with nothing above my stove. It's never been a problem for me. |
- Posted by philwojo99 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 21, 14 at 10:40
Think about resale in the future, if you don't put in an oven now it might make it harder to sell in the future without it. |
Thanks, philwojo. As I state in my original post - I'm not concerned about resale. The question is about my own use - not anyone else's. |

Welcoming a new member of the family is a profound experience. Rodef Shalom would be honored to welcome our child into your family, the Congregation's family, and the family that is the Jewish faith. Tradition calls for us the circumcise our sons on the eighth day of life in a ritual called brit milah, the covenant of circumcision. During this ceremony, boys also take on their Hebrew names. Girls are welcomed, and given their Hebrew names, in a ceremony called brit bat, the covenant of the girl. This ritual can take place either in the home or during one of Rodef Shalom's Shabbat services. Our rabbis are readily available to meet with you before or after your child is born in order to discuss the details of the appropriate ritual, which will welcome your child, honor your family and link us all in the chain of Jewish tradition. We'd also be glad to help you choose a Hebrew name!
At Rodef Shalom we honor the Reform movement's position on Jewish identity: All children with at least one Jewish parent and who are raised and educated as Jews are considered to be fully Jewish.
At 13, Jewish children come of age as Jews and automatically become Bar Mitzvah ("son of the commandment") or Bat Mitzvah ("daughter of the commandment"). Over the years, the service in which a child demonstrates his or her newly acquired Hebrew skills has taken on the same name: Bar or Bat Mitzvah. At Rodef Shalom many families choose to celebrate their child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah with a service in which the child reads or chants the weekly Torah and Haftarah portions and delivers a d'var Torah, the lesson derived from that Torah reading.
At Rodef Shalom's Religious School, students are gently introduced to Hebrew in Second Grade, with more formal language education beginning the subsequent year and continuing through Sixth Grade. Students meet with private tutors and work in concert with one of our rabbis on their Torah readings and d'vrei Torah. We heartily encourage children to work to their full potential and to participate in the service in ways that suit their skills and interests.
The Bar/Bat Mitzvah program begins with a first meeting with Rabbi Aaron Bisno and continues with family education programs and the development of a personalized community service project. Not only are Bar or Bat Mitzvahs important milestones in Jewish education—as well as a family milestone; they are also a simcha for the entire Rodef Shalom Congregation!
Rodef Shalom has long celebrated Confirmation. In the early years of Reform, Confirmation was meant to replace Bar Mitzvah and to provide students a full Jewish education. In our time, confirmation services are held at the end of a student's Tenth Grade year. Though the service is intended to reflect Rodef Shalom traditions, it also allows for the creative expression of each student. In preparation, the Tenth Grade year is spend studying the history and foundations of Reform Judaism as well as contemporary issues in the faith. A field trip is also part of the process in a year that culminates with a joyous Confirmation service—crafted in concert by the students and our rabbis—on Erev Shavuot.
Taking on a new religious identity is not a frivolous thing. In fact, it can be one of the most profound steps in a person's life. Our rabbis invite those interested in Reform Judaism to enroll in the Introduction to Judaism class sponsored and taught by the Pittsburgh Reform rabbinate. This class, which meets Thursday evenings at Rodef Shalom, includes one-on-ne study with one of our rabbis, the opportunity to attend worship services, and instruction on the ways in which one can become involved in our community in concordance with one's interests and skills. Choosing Judaism is a highly personal journey and not bound by a time frame, but when a student is ready to join the faith, he or she comes before a rabbinic bet din, is immersed in the mikvah, and, when appropriate, undergoes hatafat dam brit ("the covenant of the drop of blood," or, symbolic ritual circumcision).
Mazel Tov! Engaged? Thinking about it? Entering into marriage can be exciting, but it can also be fraught with questions. To ease the process, and provide some answers, our rabbis would love to meet with you and talk about your future as a couple. We look forward to celebrating with you and we welcome all couples who crave connection with the Jewish community.
Sadly, some marriages end. Jewish tradition has long recognized and accepted this reality. Rodef Shalom's rabbis are here to help you navigate this transition by lending a compassionate and non-judgmental ear. All communications are confidential. If you are interested in obtaining or giving a get, (the traditional Jewish divorce decree) we can direct you to the appropriate resources.
Bikur cholim, visiting the sick, is an important Jewish tradition and, as such, is taken very seriously at Rodef Shalom. While our rabbis would like to visit you or a loved one who is ill, we respect your right to privacy. Contact our rabbinic office to report a hospitalization or illness and direct us in the most appropriate way to respond.
End-of-life issues can provide seemingly insurmountable challenges. When a loved one dies, the sense of loss can overwhelm. Rodef Shalom invites you to find strength and comfort in our Jewish traditions. In concert with area funeral homes, we can provide you the resources you need and one of our rabbis would be honored to officiate funeral services or arrange for a shiva. Also remember that being at home, among loved ones and friends, can be a great comfort.
Whether you are looking for an intimate meeting space or a great banquet hall, the beautifully renovated facilities at Rodef Shalom offer the perfect place for just about any event. Our facilities are available to members for life-cycle events such as weddings, bar/bat mitzvah parties, birthday celebrations, brit milahs, baby namings, anniversaries, and other meaningful events. Affordable space in Rodef Shalom is also available to non-profit organizations for classes, meetings, and retreats and can accommodate lectures, seminars, concerts, luncheons, and dinners. Our staff can assist you in making your celebration exactly what you want it to be. We work with all party planners, caterers, and other service providers to ensure your event will be a success. To schedule a tour or find out more about holding an event at Rodef Shalom, contact Anna Dobkin Baird at (412) 621-6566 x183 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

No description on the website yet…but this was a sample with an order from Teas Etc. not too long ago. It is a strong cup of tea! I can't quite put my finger on the flavor…whatever tanzanian black is supposed to taste like is my guess. (Helpful I know) I like it. It has a nice kick in the pants I need to get moving this morning at work. Always hard getting and staying going the day before a day off.

The Three Wise Men on Egypt
I now have seen tens of cartoons on the subject. Most of them very funny.
But these are the three I liked most. They told me a lot while poking me in the rib.
I salute their creators.
The first one is about Mr. Mubarak's plans to continue in the office:
Artist: Steve Breen
The pun on The Nile...De nial!
(For my most favourite picture of Mr. Breen, click here.)
The second one is about the role of US in supporting despots around the world and the eternal conflict that is at the heart of America's foreign policy: Uncle Sam Vs. The Statue of Liberty.
Artist: R J Matson
And the thrid one is closest to my heart.
It reminded me of my hometown Miraj (मिरज). This is how the ordinary people of that town treated old structures that had fallen into disuse. And that is largely true of the rest of India.
These people help me understand how Mubarak's of the world turn into P B Shelley's 'Ozymandias':
" My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
Artist: Amr Okasha, Egyptian political cartoonist

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dixie, a Hazard American Bulldog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog for sale in Hazard, or seeking a American Bulldog dog from a breeder in Hazard.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hazard already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hazard breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Bulldog breeders who help with American Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hazard paves the way for another one to be saved.
