This is one of those movies that is so bad that it can be entertaining.
For example, the opening scene of an airplane flying, looks like someone took a toy plane and swung it from a string and rocked it back and forth.
Simply put, it's bad acting, bad language, bad CGI and overdone sex at the most ridiculous and absurd times.
Forty years after a plane crashed on an island in the middle of nowhere, a team of SEALs and a small group of terrorists find themselves trapped on that very same... Read morePublished 6 months ago by Einsatz

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Yeh the array will be cleared each time. You could create unique arrays each time with the follow if thats what you require.
I'm not really sure what is being asked here or what your trying to accomplish but any variable that is defined in the loop will no longer be defined at the beginning of each iteration.
If your trying to populate this array by using a loop you will need to define the array prior to entering the loop like so:
Yes it does. $arr = array(); This makes the variable an empty array. If you want to add elements with a key defined, easiest way would be, $arr[]='my data'; Use above code in the for loop and set the $arr = array(); above for loop. It's not required but recommended.
You can also add data like this: for ($i = 0; $i < 5; ++$i){ $arr[$i] = 'my data'; }
$arr will not be cleared after for loop.

Did I get it right? EDT is the main thread of GUI. To start a long operation, it's preferred to run it in new thread. So why do we need to use EventQueue for that? Why can't we simply create and run new thread just like in non-Swing programs?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There is nothing that says you need to use the EventQueue if you are running a long running operation in the background. The purpose of the queue here is to utilize if you have to update the UI that the long running process is complete.
When the process is complete you would put some kind of runnable notification on the Event Queue to notify the UI of completion.
No, the EDT is essentially running on the main thread implicitly. You don't "move" the EDT. Rather, if you want to work off of the main thread, and off of the EDT, you do as you say and start your own thread.
Take a look at SwingWorker. It's a common mechanism to help facilitate this.

On the Friday before his death, "Top Gun" filmmaker Tony Scott was with actor Tom Cruise and producer Jerry Bruckheimer on a scout to research some of the flying machines for a sequel to his 1986 hit. It was something, as most of us know (having read so many bits and pieces about the tardy follow-up over the years), Scott was pretty passionate about making.
In an interview with Total Film, Tom Cruise says he's not sure what's going to happen with "Top Gun 2″ – in which he would've reprised his role as Lt. Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell – now that Scott's gone.
"That was horrible", Cruise says of Scott's death. "I love Tony. I mean, what a filmmaker. We were so excited about Top Gun 2. Now we're just taking a pause, to be honest. It's something… we'll see, we'll see about that…".
Cruise, it seems, has instead moved on to conceiving a fifth "Mission : Impossible" movie. "We're already working on different images. Talking conceptually", says the actor/producer of what would be his fifth stint as Ethan Hunt. "I'll make a bunch of those [Mission : Impossible movies]. I'll make as many as people want to see…because they're very challenging and so much fun to make."
He's also got "Van Helsing", a reboot of the Hugh Jackman monster-slaying flick from a few years ago on his dance-card.
Says Cruise, "We're figuring [it] out. Do we make a horror comedy, character comedy? What time period?"
The actor suggests "Van Helsing" might share a similar tone to John Landis's funny but frightening horror classic "An American Werewolf in London".
"Do you remember the first time you saw that movie? Wasn't it amazing? And we haven't had one of those for… Look, I'm not saying Van Helsing will be that, tonally… but I'll never forget seeing An American Werewolf in London on a Friday night. It was a 7 O'Clock showing in Westwood, and it was like 'C'mon, this movie's incredible!'."
Say what you will about Cruise but he does what makes a good movie. Always equipped with the right resources to entertain that guy.

Sorry, Cindy, I should have made it more clear in my post that I was not referring to you or anyone else personally. Your post was the last one in the thread prior to mine, so I replied to the end of the thread, and not to your post directly. My apologies for the confusion.
The labels I was referring to involve political labels that tend to get tossed around the forums without definitions, so they whip up people's emotions as opposed to advancing a discussion on a topic.
Please do not be offended as I was not referring to any individual in particular.
As an additional reminder, perhaps to myself as well, the "reply and quote" feature is preferable when replying to an individual's post. A general "reply" can be to a particular post or just to the thread in general. If the reply is to the thread in general, it is preferable to indicate your reply is a general one and not a specific one.

Rates are a bit higher then compared to most and if I had more time when looking I might have gone with another company but was in a bind and needed fast storage and this was close to home and available so no time to shop around. Great service though. Sometimes hard to reach someone at the office but that is understandable. Charles, Cheryl and Nancy at the office are who I deal with and they are always absolutely wonderful!! I hope you share this with them and give them the recognition they deserve :)Alexandra from Lantana, FL

Weekend offers lots of arts, crafts sales
Last weekend included Christmas Open House on the Oxford Square and Black Friday shopping everywhere, while "Cyber Monday" was earlier this week. From the looks of events scheduled for this weekend, you might call it "arts and crafts weekend" around the Lafayette-Oxford-University community. Editor Don Whitten mentions some of the places to visit this weekend and talks about the importance of shopping locally. (December 3, 2010, Page 4A)
Staying safe
EAGLE Staff Writer Melanie Addington writes about a subject she wished she didn't know a whole lot about – dealing with the trauma of having someone break into your home. She urges residents to be careful and be smart, especially with the holidays here. (December 2, 2010, Page 4A)
Taking a closer look at MHSAA numbers
The Mississippi High School Activities Association divides up member schools for interscholastic competition according to enrollment and the MHSAA has released the news classes for 2011-13 on its website. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at some of the numbers and how they relate to athletics and competition among the schools. (December 1, 2010, Page 4)
Shopping for the hard-to-shop-for
The question is to be expected about this time of the year: Have you come up with a list of things for people to get you for Christmas? It's an easy question to answer when you're talking about youngsters, but a bit more difficult when you get to older folks. Editor Don Whitten discusses the problems shopping for middle-aged males and others in the hard-to-shop-for category. (November 29, 2010, Page 4A)
Showing our appreciation to those who help others
Thanksgiving is a time when most of us reflect on, and appreciate all that we have without dwelling on what we don't have. Staff Writer Alyssa Schnugg writes that perhaps we need to spend a bit more time thinking about others who aren't as fortunate and consider helping those who help others. She suggests, in particular, considering helping the local Interfaith Compassion Ministry. (November 25, 2010, Page 4A)
Giving thanks for – and on – a special holiday
Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday for Oxford EAGLE employees because they get off Thursday afternoon and all day Friday after satisfying both readers and advertisers with a special Thanksgiving Day edition. Editor Don Whitten takes time to thanks those who help with the paper and to remind everyone to be thankful at this time of the year. (November 24, 2010, Page 4A)
Reacting to 'Thou shalt not Facebook'
"Thou shalt not Facebook." That's the word a New Jersey pastor has given his congregation and, while it seems like a reasonable suggestion, it makes Editor Don Whitten remember other words of helpful advice that many seem to take as a challenge. Will curiosity get the best of folks? (November 22, 2010, Page 4A)
How will lawmakers respond to Barbour's budget?
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, heading into his final year in office, has submitted his annual Executive Budget Recommendations to members of the State Legislature. Editor Don Whitten notes that some of the numbers involving budget cuts are lower than anticipated, but there are expected to be battles in several areas before the FY 2012 budget is eventually adopted. (November 19, 2010, Page 4A)
Cards change – and so does life's schedule
It's funny how life works out sometimes. Assistant News Editor Jeff Eubanks traces his recent steps that brought him full circle to working with The Oxford EAGLE again. (November 18, 2010, Page 4)
Holiday shopping season continues to grow
Christmas shopping once was just a December occurrence, but then it moved up to begin on "Black Friday," the day after Thanksgiving. Editor Don Whitten takes a closer look at the holiday shopping season which may now include stores opening on Thanksgiving and already includes big sales in the weekends before Thanksgiving. (November 17, 2010, Page 4)

Several families in our troop treat clothing with Permetherin for mosquito and tick control. The most popular product seems to be Sawyers, but it is very expensive. ($15 for 4 outfits) Searching the backpacking forums it seems many buy concentrated 10 or 36% and mix a batch to soak their clothing in. As long as you get the kind that does not have petroleum addititives they claim it works just as well and is 20x cheaper. Does anyone have experience with it using either method or product ?

BD, It has been a very wet spring around here. When we took our bike camping trip a couple of weeks ago the mosquitos caught everyone by surprise. They were bad and most of us only had 25% DEET, I went and got some 100% and that helped but my boy's legs were a mess. Easily 30 bites. I don't know what it is about him but Mosquitos just love to suck his blood. Maybe it is because he has no fat on him and his skin is stretched tight over those boney legs. Or maybe his red hair attracts them. I picked three ticks off of me sitting in a chair reading. The park ranger said he only uses 100% DEET. It may take a few weeks off his life, but says those are the worst ones. Them skeeters and hicks can be very bad round these parts. A couple of years ago in Nebraska I had to leave camp for work on a Saturday morning. Came back about 2:00 to break camp and l left the Off at camp. In the 200 yards to my tent from the car I swatted at least 10. My arms were covered in streaks of blood.
06-05-2013, 08:19 PMEditing a commentI don't understand why I can't make paragraphs with my ipad.
06-05-2013, 09:36 PMEditing a commentNaw, that was me pretending I was from the Ozarks and not St. Louis.
We used the spray-on Sawyers for the BWCAW last year. The mosquitoes fed on it and grew larger. Actually, I think it was helpful but I found that I had product left after treating my four sets of clothes. Figuring out the dosing with the spray and getting it even was my challenge.
06-19-2013, 07:53 AMEditing a commentThat was my challenge also. I had eight sets to do and it took a while, I just went over the shoes, socks and shorts again until it was gone. The concentrate was great for the backpacks, pads and cots.
3M makes a concentrate soak product that would be a faster and more even application but longer dry time. I will likely use the Martins 10% concentrate (diluted to .5) next time on everything and soak as it is much cheaper. Any leftover I just sprayed around the yard (and the dog as that is what it is labeled for)
Thought I would give an update. Those of us that used the Sawyers or concentrate Permetherin (plus DEET) had no problems with ticks or mosquitos. The results varied for those that didn't. A few boys were picking ticks off all the time and a couple got chewed up by the Mosquitos. The gnats were a different story and really annoying. The staff had a commercial product I can't recall the name of but the primary ingredients were vanilla, peppermint and cherry extract. My CC drove to Wally World and bought some vanilla and peppermint and then diluted with water in a spray bottle. Sprayed the hair and upper body and hand applied to face. 95% effective for about a hour and made a huge difference for everyone. I don't think my son could have completed his pioneering project without it and it was funny watching the reactions of everyone when they realized they just inhaled a bug.

The aviation activity in the state was started in the year 1973 by a separate division in G.A.I.C. In the beginning, this division was started with a purpose to help the farmers by aerial spraying on various crops like; sugar cane, cotton, ground-nut, tuvar, etc. by helicopter and fixed wing Aircrafts. By these activities, the farmers were benefited in many ways. When there was shortage of rain, cloud seeding operation was also carried out by aircraft for making artificial rain.

Tempe, AZ (Sports Network) - Ka'imi Fairbairn's 33-yard field goal as time expired put the UCLA Bruins over the top as they recorded a thrilling 45-43 victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils in Pac-12 Conference play at Sun Devil Stadium.
Fairbairn's conversion capped a 12-play, 60-yard drive by the Bruins (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) as they picked up a second straight win and the third in the last four games. Brett Hundley converted 19-of-29 passes for 274 yards and four touchdowns for the visitors, but he was picked off once and sacked five times along the way.
Ninth in the nation coming into the week with an average of 125.4 ypg on the ground, Johnathan Franklin logged a game-high 164 yards and scored twice on 26 carries.
The Sun Devils (5-3, 3-2) were paced by Taylor Kelly who hit on 25-of-35 passes for 315 yards and four scores, but he was taken down for four sacks and had one pass picked off as the team suffered a second straight setback.
ASU registered the first two touchdowns of the afternoon as Kelly tossed a seven-yard scoring strike to Kevin Ozier less than two minutes into the meeting, followed by a Marion Grice two-yard TD run.
The Bruins countered with a pair of scores of their own as Franklin landed in the end zone on a three-yard run and Hundley hooked up with Devin Fuller on a 15-yard scoring pass to knot the score at 14-14 after 15 minutes of action.
The second quarter proved to be much less active as ASU's Jon Mora gave the hosts a lead with a 36-yard field goal at the 11:09 mark of the period, but UCLA captured its first advantage of the day late in the half thanks to a five-yard TD run by Franklin, providing the visitors with a 21-17 edge at the break.
The teams continued to trade scores throughout the third quarter and into the fourth, with neither squad able to pull away.
Mora's 31-yard field goal less than two minutes into the second half cut ASU's deficit to just a single point, but that was before Hundley found Damien Thigpen with a 65-yard touchdown pass on the very next play from scrimmage for UCLA.
Kelly combined with Grice on a 20-yard TD pass at the 10:39 mark of the third, but the absence of a PAT meant the Sun Devils still trailed by two points, 28-26.
Barely three minutes later, the Bruins struck again, this time as Hundley delivered a four-yard TD pass to Joseph Fauria to build the lead up to nine.
The combination of Kelly and Grice responded with an eight-yard TD pass play moments into the fourth quarter, but again UCLA fought back with a 20-yard scoring strike from Hundley to Thigpen to establish once more the nine-point edge.
Finally, later in the final period, ASU put together consecutive scoring drives in order to take the lead as Mora knocked through a 22-yard field goal at the 5:17 mark and Kelly tossed a seven-yard TD to D.J. Foster with 1:33 to play, but with so much time left on the clock, the Sun Devils couldn't maintain their 43-42 lead and subsequently suffered the setback.
Arizona State, the top passing defense in the nation heading into the week with only 130.4 ypg allowed, permitted more than twice as many yards through the air and 486 yards overall.
Oklahoma running back Keith Ford has been suspended indefinitely for violating academic and team rules, Sooners coach Bob Stoops confirmed Monday.

Just what I wanted
The GreenPartStore offers this item at a very good price. The item was quickly shipped and received. The cover is exactly what I wanted to cover the seat on my JD rider and have a place for the few hand tools needed around the yard. The cover is much more comfortable to sit on over long periods of hot mowing times.

I don't have any experience with tripods and really only wanted one because I thought it could be fun to play around with. Got it today and took it out of the package, first thing I noticed is this thing is small. The carrying case it comes with is pretty cheaply made but serves its purpose. The legs are metal, most likely aluminum, but seem sturdy. The locks that hold the legs in place are plastic. The screw that holds the camera in place is metal which is nice and from what I can tell all the screws in general are metal. Having bought it just to have without a clear use in mind I would definitely recommend it for the $$$. Anyone with a DSLR or a camera with much weight to it should probably steer clear. Having no experience with tripods I can't really compare it to anything but even if it doesn't last forever I'm not out much.
As described, a little big to lug around but light and not too bad, fits in a large purse or back pack not super stable but for stability you're going to have to buy something that weighs more which is a pain to tote around. This is perfect for the novice photographer
Good price and we got what we paid for. It is a great little tripod
the quality is good enough it has aluminium stands metalic screw at top the height adjustment worked fine at start the top height adjustment didnt worked and I felt it not working but after spending some time and realigning the screw and bar it worked fine
was very pleasee with the tripod. would not hasitate to buy another one if the need arises.
This product has more features than I expected at an excellent price. I got more than I was expecting, and it comes with a warranty.

Bourdain is bourdain. He is a top notch entertainer. It's a very enjoyable listen. Well done
"Good story - at least part of it"
The first half of the book is very well written. Bryson's voice really grated on me though. He reads in a sort of sing-songy voice that is hard to listen to. Had I not already been sucked into the story from starting to read the book, there is no way that I wouldn't have turned it off in the first five minutes. Still, the story is entertaining and well written - at least the first half. The second half loses steam quickly and I found myself looking forward to the end.

I'm from Vienna and am an agent for opera singers, so most of AirBNB bookis are for short business trips, but I am also a nature lover and hiker, so I am looking for accommodation in remote, quiet areas as well.
Helmut has completed online and offline ID verification.

Helmut was the perfect guest - We look forward to hosting him again soon! He left the cottage in immaculate condition. He also took some great pictures of the Seaview Cottage and Rye and posted them on (website hidden) - it doesn't get any better than that!
Helmut is a great guest. Friendly, precise and polite. Surely recommended to the Airbnb community.
Helmut was a perfect guest. Communication was fast and easy. He is an uncomplicated person, polite, quiet, very clean and respectful. Thank you!
Helmut est très sympa et arrangeant sur le check-in et check-out. Appartement rendu propre et rangé ! Je recommande !
Helmut was an easy-going guest clean and tidy. Welcome back anytime
Helmut is a very nice person and it was a pleasure to host him.The weather was very bad and he got very wet climbing the mountain,but he showered and changed and went out for the night to the opera.
He was no trouble at all and would always be welcome here.
Thanks for your kind feedback, the great chats and for looking so well after me (particularly with tea and pancakes!). Hope to be back eventually!
Great experience! Helmut is a very nice and polite person. He was very punctual and the communication was easy and pleasant. The left the apartment clean and in order.
I can highly recommend him as guest :)
It was a very short stay , Helmut arrived quite late and we had to get to bed early ourselves since we get very eary in the morning to be on time at work . The communication was then very restricted. We would have appreciated that the lights and the heater of the bathroom would be switched off and the kitchen tidied up. It's the first time that our host don't participate and leave the place this way.
I arrived in the evening as agreed (I was there at 21:00 sharp) and I kept Rachel up to date about my precise arrival per SMS during the the day.
I was a bit preoccupied about reaching my train from Grenoble, since Rachel's husband kindly told me that I may have a quick breakfast before leaving, which was unexpected and therefore made me slightly late. I didn't switch on the bathroom heater and did not know I was supposed to turn it off (perhaps due to my poor French?) Sorry for not washing up the tea mug and the cereal bowl and spoon (which was ALL I was using). Since the husband was off work and at home when I left, I'm surprised it caused such a problem. Also given the shortness of my stay, I did not assume that much small talk was expected or required.
Helmut was a very good guest, self sufficient, unobtrusive yet friendly. Communication was good and we are happy to recommend him.
Although Helmut and friend stayed very briefly, we dud have time to batter a little. Enough to know him as a good guest who is welcome back anytime. Geoff

WestConn alumni find work in an assortment of industries including the industrial gas manufacturing industry, the legal services industry, and the retail industry. The health care industry registers as the most common industry among alumni. Those with a degree from WestConn tend to make around $52K.
WestConn grads who become Regional Sales Managers garner financial rewards beyond any other job type for this group — these alumni rake in approximately $104K annually. However, Account Directors and Financial Controllers also rank as top-earners (bringing in $97K and $90K, respectively). Recruiters wrap up the bottom of the pay scale, earning $39K.
Danbury is a popular place for WestConn students to settle after graduation, and around a sixth of grads find steadfast employment in the city. The top-paying city popular with WestConn alumni is Hartford, which offers median salaries of $113K. On the other hand, WestConn alumni who end up in Stamford receive the lowest median salaries of about $40K. Other popular cities for WestConn alumni include nearby Norwalk and New York.

A lucky minority (about one in three grads) are fortunate enough to be compensated for vacation while just one in four survey participants get sick time. For this school, a fair portion of alums are the recipients of health benefits, and most former students pick up dental plans, too. Most alumni participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan. Other benefits that Western Connecticut State University alumni receive are a casual working environment, a company-subsidized cell phone, life insurance, and flexible hours.
Alumni of Indiana University pick up average paychecks of $50K, which is closest to the amount made by WestConn grads among similar schools. Westfield State University, Worcester State University, and Mansfield University of Pennsylvania are also similar to WestConn.

2015 Life Changing Prayer Requests
We need $300,000 to PURCHASE THE HOUSE at 713 2nd Calle in Tegucigalpa in order to continue serving in Honduras.
We need $29,000-35,000 to purchase a TATTOO REMOVAL laser that will properly treat the complexity of tattoos.
We need to purchase an 18 PASSENGER VAN to transport our mission teams and our growing youth groups.
Watch a brand new video about the 2014 "Life Changes" that happened with our teams and with the people in Honduras!!
2015 will mark 11 years of faithful ministry in Honduras!!
As of August 2014 we have hosted 3o Short-Term Mission Construction Teams!!!!!!!
We are extremely pleased to announce that as of October 9, 2012, Border Buddies Ministries, Inc. has received approval and accreditation from ECFA – Evangelical Council on Financial Accountability. This means that we meet the very stringent standards of accounting practice and financial accountability as set by ECFA. To learn more about the standards please visit www.ecfa.org.
Michael and Glenda Miller are Christian missionaries who live and work in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. They founded Border Buddies Ministries in February 2004, then incorporated it as a non profit in New York State in April 2005, with 501c3 status granted in December 2006.
The vision that is foundational to this ministry is simply stated as, "INCREASE THE POSSIBILITIES, DECREASE PRISONERS". It resulted from watching young people lose heart, join gangs to make quick money, and wreck their lives. It simply broke Mike and Glenda's hearts.
The foundational scripture for Border Buddies is this: "To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue. All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:1-3
The results are a two pronged approach. The first has to do with communities themselves. Increase the possibilities for more choices for a better future. That involves working with youth through youth groups, bible study, mentoring, and getting a good education through school sponsorship/scholarship funding. All of this brings hope and provides a better way to deal with life and all its troubles. This also involves bringing Short-Term Mission Teams from the States to help refurbish, rehabilitate and expand existing schools and their programs. And working with adults, teaching life skills, job skills, funding and starting micro-businesses, sharing the Word through bible study and interaction with the Short-Term mission teams. Our prayer is that this work will keep young men and women from becoming prisoners.
The second has to do with how to decrease prisoners. Mike and Glenda visit numerous prisons on a regular basis, share God's word, establish Bible studies, teach and fund micro-business possibilities, and offer TATTOO REMOVAL with a state-of-the-art laser tattoo removal machine. They support prisoners after release and help them get back on their feet. The ultimate part of the vision is to have Border Buddies Farm, where a structured environment of education and repatterning on a self-sustaining farm would provide a four year rehabilitation program with a high success rate. Our prayer is that young men and women would no longer return to prison and that they would now become productive members of their communities.

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal[edit]
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
National symbols of Ecuador[edit]
I've just done some copy editing and fixed some apparent vandalism at National symbols of Ecuador. I'd appreciate some expert eyes to check to make sure I reverted to the right versions. Also with the vandalism it's had, it should be on some Ecuadorians' watchlists. Thank you. SchreiberBike talk 17:22, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
WikiProject X is live![edit]
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Hoodia as a diet supplement
I want to lose in 07. Much hype about Hoodia. Anyone have a success story?I don't want to waste my money, I need a product that will work.I need to lose30-50 pounds can be done slowly but I need a appettie suppressant.
I'm probably not going to be much help.
I saw a lot of commercials over the holidays about it. It was the first I heard of it. After what happened with the appetite suppressents back in the 90's that resulted in a lot of heart problems, I'm afraid of them.
Plus the commercials had people claiming to be doctors endorsing it. From what I have heard, often those people are paid to endorse it and haven't done clinical studies of them.
I'm trying to lose 30 pounds on weight watchers. It is coming off slowly. All I can tell you is that I truly don't get hungry if I eat the proper foods all day. When I get ravenous is when I have been hitting the empty calories (such as candy, white bread, fried foods, etc) and I don't stay satisfied long enough.
I would like it if there were some sort of magical pill that could be the solution and maybe one day it will be here.
Wikipedia has some good info on hoodia's history, and some cautions. The two most important cautions are typical of these supplements. One - no scientific proof that it works, and Two - a lot of companies claim their pill contains the ingredient but it does not.
Some of the article here:
Published scientific reports
Whether hoodia works as an appetite suppressant has not been scientifically proven. No published peer-reviewed double-blind clinical trials have been performed on humans to investigate the safety or effectiveness of Hoodia gordonii in pill form as a nutritional supplement.
One scientific study has been published in which the extract was injected directly into the brains of rats.[8] The author of the rat study said that P57 was easily broken down by the liver, so it might be hard to take in enough of it to ensure that it had an effect. MacLean cautioned that currently available supplements might be inadequate, stating "I question whether there is really enough of the active ingredient in there to do much."[9]
Press coverage
The press coverage and heavy marketing by nutritional supplement companies have created such a demand for Hoodia plants that a protected status was imposed in several countries like Namibia. Many products claiming to contain Hoodia do not actually contain the active ingredient alleged to suppress appetite. Only the South African product has the claimed properties. An ongoing review of Hoodia pills by Alkemists Pharmaceuticals found that at least half of the products advertised as containing Hoodia contained none.[10]
In March 2006, Consumer Reports investigated the dietary supplement and concluded, "This weight loss drug lacks the clinical evidence for the Consumer Reports experts to recommend this product."[11]
Marketing and spam
Lack of scientific evidence or regulatory approval have not stopped dietary supplement companies from marketing Hoodia gordonii extracts with claims that it can lower blood pressure and reduce the appetite. Goen Technologies Corporation's TrimSpa unit began marketing Hoodia gordonii under the brand name X32 with celebrity spokesperson Anna Nicole Smith, even though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has notified Trimspa that it has not demonstrated that claims for their product are scientifically supportable.[12] Health Canada has not approved any hoodia products for sale.[13] Goen Technologies has also been sued by the state of New Jersey for misleading consumers.[14] The Trimspa brand is currently the subject of a lawsuit in California which claims that it does not contain any of Hoodia's active ingredient.[10]
In March to June of 2006, billions of email spam messages were sent out concerning Hoodia, ostensibly offering Hoodia extracts for weight control purposes. As is usually the case with spam, it is not clear what prompted the sudden barrage of messages, since there had not been any recent positive media coverage about Hoodia, nor any signs of increasing public interest in Hoodia. The Federal Trade Commission has logged numerous complaints of consumer fraud associated with Hoodia and the number is expected to continue to rise.[10]
In December 2004, Unilever entered into an agreement with Phytopharm to start marketing Hoodia gordonii commercially in the form of shakes and diet bars.[15]
On July 1, 2006, it was reported on entertainment news show Extra that a company is now marketing Hoodia-enhanced lollipops.[16]
There are many so-called "consumer research" websites claiming to show consumer reviews and testimonials. The legitimacy and accuracy of any of these websites are unknown. In addition to massive spam campaigns, there have been many reports of over-hyped and sometimes misleading marketing associated with websites selling and/or promoting Hoodia-related products.
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to whole article
The important thing to remember with these supplements is that you must do the diet and exercise in order for them to work...and if you do the diet and exercise....you don't need the supplement....The FTC has just fined a bunch of these people for making false claims.......you will notice that the packaging on them always say that in order to be successful the supplement has to be used with a good nutrition program and exercise...that is really all the info one needs...I saw an ad for one of them over the holidays and checked it out when I went shopping and it was mostly caffiene and a couple of recognizable herbs...truthfully, you could get the same effect from several cups of coffee.
I'm using a Hoodia supplement now and I think it works. Whether it is in my head or not it has curbed my appetite. Half way through dinner and I've had enough. I've lost 6 pounds since Thanksgiving.
750 mg off the internet.
I drink de-caf everything and have had no jitters.

DEFINITION of 'Private Finance Initiative - PFI'
A method of providing funds for major capital investments where private firms are contracted to complete and manage public projects. Under a private finance initiative, the private company, instead of the government, handles the up-front costs. The project is then leased to the public, and the government authority makes annual payments to the private company. These contracts are typically given to construction firms and can last 30 years or longer. In the United States, PFIs are called public-private partnerships.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Private Finance Initiative - PFI'
Private finance initiatives were originally started as part of Great Britain's strategy for providing high quality services. PFIs were first implemented there in 1992 and become popular after 1997. They were used to fund major public works projects such as schools, prisons, hospitals and infrastructure. Instead of funding these projects up front from tax receipts, private firms construct them and then make their money back through long-term (25+ years) repayments, plus interest, from the government. Thus, the government does not have to outlay a large sum of money at once to fund a large project. PFIs are also supposed to improve on-time project completion and transfer some of the risks associated with constructing and maintaining these projects from the public sector to the private sector. Financial advisers such as investment banks help manage the bidding, negotiating and financing process.
A key drawback is the interest and payments associated with PFIs burden future taxpayers. In addition, the arrangements sometimes include not only construction, but also ongoing maintenance once the projects are complete, which further increases these projects' future cost and tax burden.
In the United Kingdom in the 2000s, a scandal surrounding PFIs revealed the government was spending significantly more on these projects than they were worth, to the benefit of the private firms running them and to the taxpayer's detriment. PFIs have also been criticized as an accounting gimmick to reduce the appearance of public-sector borrowing.

Trying to pick some music for my wedding in September and so been listening to the music from Lord of the Rings today……….got me in the mood for some photoshop magic :-)
An image made up of various locations around England, including Puzzle Wood in the Forest of Dean and an ancient well in the depths of the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, which we visited earlier today.
Amazing as always. I love this fantasy stuff. You make it look like it's real.
Thankyou Adam, felt great to do some work….dont really get time for artwork much these days. Full time jobs huh ! :)
