Premiere Props 'Hollywood Auction Extravaganza X' Catalog Online, Television & Movie Prop and Costume Sale Event June 15 (Plus An OPB Editorial Plea For Authentication)
May 27, 2013 by Jason DeBord · 2 Comments
Lots for Premiere Props' sale in mid-June have been listed online with online bidding partner iCollector, as part of their "Hollywood Extravaganza X". The one-day auction is scheduled for June 15th. As with past auctions, the sale includes general memorabilia, though, as with their last sale, there is more interesting material with this event than they've had in some time, although much of it does not include any substantive information (or even vague information) about history and provenance in the lot descriptions (though to their credit, some do). Premiere Props is such a frustrating company, on so many levels, but some of their auction descriptions (if you can even call them that) are beyond unacceptable. I can't imagine someone wanting a piece so badly as to take such a massive leap of faith in bidding on something in which no information whatsoever is provided about *why* it is authentic. Read more

EXCLUSIVE: Video Interview with Colin Cantwell on '74/'75 Star Wars Prototypes & Never Publicly Shown Concept Art, The Apollo XI Moon Landing with NASA & CBS, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, WarGames and More
November 13, 2014 by Jason DeBord · 2 Comments
Colin Cantwell is a dreamer. However, he's is one of those rare individuals who is not content to merely dream, but to imagine how to make dreams a reality, and takes action to make things happen. And if the tool or method that he requires does not exist, he will invent it. He is about thinking up possibilities that others would find… impossible. He is also quite modest, regardless of his incredible accomplishments across a broad spectrum of disciplines. He seems to be entirely self-motivated and has an internal engine driving him to achieve the results that bring his dreams to life. My other observation, through my conversations with him at his home in Colorado some months ago, is that he is not only brilliant, but he is unrestrained by the divisions and categorizations that frame the lives of most of the rest of us. Like the great Leonardo da Vinci, Colin Cantwell is gifted with a great diversity of talents, as a scientist, inventor, artist, special and computer effects wizard, architect, engineer, and I'm sure a number of other abilities. In my opinion, he is one of our great national treasures that "we" didn't know about. He played a significant role in Star Wars: A New Hope, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Omnimax/IMAX, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, and WarGames, working with some of our greatest film auteurs like George Lucas, Stanley Kubrick, and Steven Spielberg. He worked with NASA and CBS on the Apollo XI moon landing mission. He even won over "the greatest architect of all-time", Frank Lloyd Wright. And at 82 years of age, he continues to work on his life achievements; with his concept of Cosmic Biodesics, only now is the rest of the world catching up to his ideas. Read more
'Raiders of the Lost Ark' Movie Prop Fertility Idols In The Marketplace Update 2014
November 6, 2014 by Jason DeBord · 1 Comment
This is an update to the 2013 version of this same article. As with that 2013 feature, this one is prompted by another Bonhams auction offering for a fertility idol attributed to use in Raiders of the Lost Ark , this one referencing back to one of their older auctions in 2005. Due to public interest in discussing iconic props from the Indiana Jones films, and confusion in the marketplace with regards to the provenance and authentication of such pieces, I thought it appropriate to update my ongoing series of articles on the topic with the new information and photos (see: Raiders of the Lost Ark Fertility Idols In The Marketplace).

Christie's Withdraws "Prototype" Star Wars Stormtrooper Prop Helmet with Andrew Ainsworth Provenance from Upcoming Auction
June 16, 2014 by Jason DeBord · 5 Comments
Today Christie's has withdrawn Lot 136 from their upcoming Sale #5446, a prop attributed to Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and described as a "prototype Imperial Stormtrooper's helmet". There has been ongoing public debate and controversy over movie prop Stormtrooper helmets trading for sale in the marketplace for years, and some of this debate and discussion intersected the legal battles between Lucasfilm and Andrew Ainsworth. In the auction description, Andrew Ainsworth was named as the source of provenance for the prop withdrawn from the current Christie's sale. Read more

The iPhone 6 is obviously a much-anticipated phone, but it seems that Apple as a brand also represents loyalty among its current users.
In a study of 16,000 smartphone users conducted by Yankee Group in the US, it was found that iPhone loyalty almost seems unbeatable, with 91% of current iPhone users responding that they will opt for another iPhone when the time comes to buy. Only 6% in the sample would opt for an Android device.
This was a bigger set of numbers, compared to what the Android study has yielded, with only 76% of the sample opting to stick with Android and 24% thinking of switching to other mediums, and a whopping 18% won over by the iOS.
PhonesReview reports that this may then result to the iPhone overtaking Android in just a few years, despite the slow rise of Samsung in terms of beating Apple to the competition.
Given the mixed reviews that the Samsung Galaxy S4 has received and the anticipation and hype that consumers still have for the iPhone 6 and even the reported refresh iPhone 5S, it seems that Apple is just continuing to simmer in a steady success.
This may even be strengthened by the imminent reveal of the iOS 7 and the iPhone 6, which, as reported by The News Tribe, is that it's not impossible to except the Swype keyboard to also be made available when the time comes for the iOS 7.
This is further strengthened by Aaron Sheedy, Swype vice president, who answered on his Reddit regarding having the Swype keyboard for Apple devices, "Hah. The million (ok billion) $ question. Yes, we have chatted with them, they are very smart and nice."
Can this be the break that Apple's reportedly decline in sales may be waiting for, wherein loyal iPhone users may just be waiting for the revamped iOS and the feature-packed iPhone 6?
In terms of its other possible competition, the much-rumored and also anticipated Nokia Lumia 928, WM Power User reports that even accessory makers are on their way to pushing the hype further as more accessories for the Lumia 928 surface.
The latest of these involves the Luxmo protector case that provides the case that perfectly fits and allows for maximum button and maneuver control for the user--for just $1.19.
It seems that Nokia is also hoping to get a share of the Android and iOS community of users with the many mobile releases that it currently has. But based on the numbers of the Yankee Group study, Nokia may have a long way to go of cutting off a good portion of that share.

Problem with Kitchen floor
About a year ago I had a beautiful Marmoleum click floor laid put in my kitchen. It's blue and white checkerboard. I've been keeping it clean but one tile loooked dirty. I took a close look and it has a big gouge out of it. The only way it can be repaired is if I can get it replaced. And I can't do that. I have no left over tiles. The store no longer carries the color. So I'm stuck. What can I cover the tile with? It's near but not exactly in front of the refrigerator. A throw rug would look odd. Anybody have a suggestion? It looks awful, though the tiles around it look brand new. I need SOMETHING tO hide this one broken tile. Oh it's 12 inches by 12 inches.
Well, I'd get some Polyfilla (or any kind of const. cement), fill in the 'hole' and let dry well over a few days. Then I'd sand it as smooth as possible, making sure it's level with surrounding stuff, paint it to match (even acrylic craft paints would do) and then use a good non-yellowing sealer or varnish over it... a few coats each left to dry o-nite, and there you go! It may not be perfect, but then who else is going to be looking that hard at that little piece of one tile but you?
This product is made by a very reputable manufacturer; Forbo. Have you tried getting in touch with them to see what they might suggest? Maybe visit their website and see if you can get a phone number for customer service. Customer service may put you in touch with their claims division who might be able to guide you throught some type of repair or other suggestion.

Chartreuse Evergreen Shrub suggestions
I'm in Sunset Zone 5 and am looking for suggestions for a chartreuse evergreen shrub. I love the look of Coleonema pulchellum 'sunset gold' but unfortunately I don't think it would survive after researching it a bit. The plant would be replacing Senecio greyi in a partially shaded area sharing space with Hellebores and a Magnolia. I'm especially looking for the chartreuse color as the Hellebores are blooming in early Feb.
I can't think of too many, especially that will do well in shade, but here's what comes to mind that might work:
Lonicera nitida 'Baggesen's Gold'
Choisya ternata 'Sundance'
Hebe ochracea 'James Stirling'
Thuja orientalis 'Aurea Nana'
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea Nana'
Calluna vulgaris 'Aureafolia'
IMO, Lonicera nitida 'Lemon Beauty' will provide better chartreuse coloring than 'Baggesen's Gold', which generally looks pathetic in much shade (and with any age). The Choisya will be more golden than chartreuse but could work and the hebe is very bronze colored and really doesn't care for shade at all. The various gold threadleaf cypresses (Chamaecyparis pisifera var. filifera cultivars) could work also. Ditto Ilex crenata 'Lemon Gem'. And while a green and gold variegation, Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald and Gold' presents an overall chartreuse effect, especially from a distance, and is exceptionally shade tolerant.
Other than shrubs, you could look at various lime or chartreuse colored heucheras or heucherellas - 'Lime Ricky', 'Key Lime Pie', 'Electric Lime', 'Alabama Sunrise' or 'Stoplight'. These are evergreen in our climate and require at least partial shade to maintain that coloring. And it is pretty intensely chartreuse!
Deer resistant?? Every resource you check will give you a different opinion. I'm not sure any plant is really safe/resistant to predation if the deer get it into their heads to munch on it. Even so-called "known" resistant or poisonous species have been grazed. It varies from season to season and how hungry they are and how curious they are. That said, Chamaecyparis, Choisya and the lonicera are not generally listed as being favored by deer -- the others are to varying degrees.
I don't know if you would consider the yellow variegated leaves of Elaeagnus ebbingei 'Gilt Edge' chartreuse, but it would definitely light up the shade, but gets to be 4-6' tall, could be trimmed back, and has delightful fragrance when it blooms.
Here is a link that might be useful: yellow edge
I don't know if they are similarly deer resistant in the PNW, but the Choisya ternata, Lonicera nitida and Chamaecyparis are all completely untouched by deer in my clients' San Francisco Bay Area gardens. The Heucheras are all browsed heavily. Pity the Coleonma 'Sunset Gold' isn't viable for you up there, it is one of my very favorite chartreuse foliage plants to use, but does much better with sun than shade. You might also consider things like Sedum makinoi 'Ogon',(again better in sun), Acorus gramineus 'Ogon',(again more of a yellow green than chartreuse), and some of the chartreuse foliaged Selaginella cultivars.
Everyone bothering with gardening to the level of buying multiple different kinds of plants and organizing them into mixed border effects needs to fence deer out. Otherwise, the entire effort (and expense) has an ax hanging over it in perpetuity. Even plants that are not browsed, such as spruce trees may prove to be favorites for rubbing off velvet. If you can afford to buy a bunch of different plants and make a garden with them, you can afford to protect your investment with a deer fence.
Some of the early daffodils mixed up with evergreen helleborus and acorus ogon grass in spring moss with double old fashioned yellow primroses are all deer resistant in bloom now.

Friday evening, Curtis Williams, Jr contacted the Newberry County Sheriff's office after a missing person alert was issued because of concern among his family members that he had not been seen in more than a month.
Williams has been interviewed in person at sheriff's department offices and met with family members.
Family members, earlier this week, told authorities that the last time they saw Williams was June 3. They raised the alarm fearing that he was being held against his will because a large amount of money may have been withdrawn from his bank account the last day he was seen.

Unique, if it's actually cutting in and leaves indentations in the elbow area that last for a long time after you take it off, that's not good. But new sleeves often feel crummy in the elbow, since your skin is definitely not used to being squeezed like that. Try patting some cornstarch in the elbow crease before you put the sleeve on. (I take a clean cotton sock and dump some cornstarch into the toe, then close up the top with a rubber band and just pat the cornstarch on right through the sock -- keeps it from spilling all over the floor). Don't wear it too long at first, stretching the time a bit longer if you find you can tolerate it.
Hope that helps!

They do pay, and they do pay fast, but they are linked to other survey companies and if you are a member of a lot of panels, this will affect how many survey invites you get from dollar surveys.
i dont know why i keep doing these surveys. i have completed at least 7 that say they have been completed but have not seen any money for them even though i keep emailing and keep being told that i will be paid . this has been going on for months.
This is a good site, always pays, and works well. The only issue I have, is that no support is available except for some self-serve Q&A. When you get an e-mailed invite for a survey, DON'T take it! You never get credited for it in your account!
but then never saw a credit anywhere so I call bologna on this site actually paying anyone, and now when I log in it says there are no surveys available to complete so they owe me about 20 bucks and no surveys to complete I am disappointing with this company
I had to downgrade my first rating with this site. Over the past year and 1/2 I did quite well and now there are times when the surveys I complete from live sample surveys don't get added to my account. I have sent the proper correspondence and they are just leading me along with no results.Also Live sample will direct you to more than one survey a day in some instances but if you complete more than one, dollarsurveys only credits for one completion. I hope they address this problem and send a return email or I guess I'm wasting my time.

While many Americans know macaroni and cheese only from a box, restaurant chefs across the country have been coming up with innumerable (and sometimes downright odd) takes on this favorite American comfort food. For some folks, however, making even basic mac and cheese at home is daunting, though it needn't be. Wine Spectator's Sam Gugino explains.

VENIPUNCTURE SITES in the hand and arm offer various advantages and disadvantages for children and adults. Let's look at some of the major benefits and drawbacks of common sites.
Formed by the union of the small digital veins of the fingers, the dorsal venous network lies on the back of the hand (see illustration at right).
* Advantages. The most distal veins in the upper extremity, these veins are easily accessed, visualized, and palpated.
* Disadvantages. These veins are smaller than those in the forearm, and using one of them limits the patient's use of his hand. You'll need to stabilize the catheter with an arm board. Because the hand has many nerve endings, venipuncture at this site can be painful.
Rising from the dorsal veins, the cephalic vein is on the lateral aspect of the wrist, proximal to the thumb.
* Advantages. A large vein, the cephalic is excellent for venipuncture and readily accepts large-gauge needles. In general, a cannula inserted at this site doesn't impair mobility or require an arm board in an older child or adult.
* Disadvantage. Because of joint motion, venipuncture sites in the wrist or antecubital fossa are at increased risk for complications.
This vein runs along the lateral aspect of the arm into the antecubital fossa. A network of veins on the lateral forearm may form the accessory cephalic, joining the cephalic vein at or above the antecubital fossa.
* Advantages. The accessory cephalic, a medium-sized to large vein, is excellent for venipuncture because it's easy to stabilize and palpate and it readily accepts large-gauge needles. This site can also be used without impairing patient mobility.
* Disadvantages. Valves at the junction with the cephalic vein may prohibit you from advancing the cannula. Also, the vein may be too short or difficult to locate in children.
Rising from the superficial palmar veins, the median vein runs along the ulnar aspect of the forearm.
* Advantages. This medium-sized vein is easy to access and stabilize.
* Disadvantages. Usually located between two branches of the median nerve, this vein may be difficult to palpate or visualize. Venipuncture in this area can be extremely painful, so avoid this site.
The basilic vein is located on the posterior-medial aspect of the forearm.
* Advantage. This large vein is easily palpated.
* Disadvantages. You may have trouble accessing this vein because of its location, and the patient must be positioned awkwardly during venipuncture.
These are found in the antecubital fossa: the median cephalic on the radial aspect, the median basilic on the ulnar aspect, and the medial cubital connecting the basilic vein to the cephalic vein at the elbow.
* Advantages. These large veins are easily accessible and often are visible or palpable in children when other veins aren't. In all patients, these veins may be used in an emergency.
* Disadvantages. Veins may be small and fibrosed if frequently used for venipuncture. Also, the antecubital area is difficult to stabilize and limits patient mobility, so it isn't recommended for ongoing therapy.

Secret Orders, Briar Patch Disruptor Turrets
In the Secret Orders mission, when you are taking out the disruptor turrets in the briar patch. You cant see the disruptors firing. Shields are showing they are getting hit. But I see no beams or disruptor fire
I had that as well. Sent in a report during the mission (in a quiet area of the Patch, mind! :))
Some NPC birds of prey have the same problem, their turret will fire fine but their forward cannons do the invisible fire thing.

Short of cisterns or rain barrels?
I am going to test my water to verify as well as my soil using both distilled water and my tap but,
Lets assume my pH 9.0 to 9.3 tap water is taking my soils out of optimum range for hops (6.5 to 7.5) and is affecting nutrient availabilty (uptake) but, with distilled my soil is optimum.
How to address the issue and be able to use the tap water without screwing my soil up or having to install an collection system?
Watering with the hose is so convienient.
I have been trying to locate a reference to calculate the potential effects but have only found papers on how soil can effect water runoff pH. Not vice versa.

Damn anti gunners... I really liked Chilis
Does "Shall not be infringed" not mean anything to you?!
How can Sonic a drive up restaurant enforce a no firearms policy? There goes my late night half price milkshakes. I can understand Chili's but Sonic is way out of line to tell me what I can have in my car/truck. Guns are not illegal. But that level of stupid should be illegal.
all the Sonic drive-ins i have ever been to are drive-ins. now maybe in other states that may have indoor seating, but i hardly think they can enforce such a thing on what guns are in my vehicle. funny, how are they going to know if guns are in my vehicle? i don't go around advertising such things to begin with.
So much for my Orange Cream Slush at Sonic. Chilli's eh...if CCW is ok, them and OutBack are both an Hr. + away anyway, like Olive Garden and Red Robin,...half the time the service is poor and the food isn't done correctly,.. I'd rather support locally owned instead of Chains, with a few exceptions,...
Edit: Axxe: there is one place here that has a large draw of Open road Bikers ( large bikes) that the owner and employees are all very good, the service is outstanding, and the owner and his brothers and cousins are half the Workforce of the store. Everything is made from Scratch, and he does Holiday baking for Takeaway service, and also has an outdoor dining area with a fountain, as well as a very big inside, with a main dining area and two party rooms,..
Needless to say if I want to eat a Steak when I'm out, and not grill it myself on my double Barrel,. I'm going there. Wife didn't have to ask me where I want to go for my Birthday( in about 6 weeks)...
Sent from my iPhone using Firearms Talk
Being the grounds for the open carry movement demonstrations is being viewed as hurting business.
That's why all these places are making new anti-open carry policies. They don't want to be involved in the conversation. I don't blame them either, there are many pro-2A who are against Open carry, it's not a popular viewpoint.
I'm all for open carry but not just because you can, I'm for open carry when you need to for whatever reason as long as its not "to make a scene".
"Good people drink good beer."
Hunter S. Thompson
Im for open carry but folks take it way to far with the intent on rubbing faces in the issue. Strutting around with a rifle or a pistol in a dropleg tactical holster does the cause no good. This is the backlash you get.
Most business dont care if your ccwing or not what they dont want is a disturbance that reduces cash flow. When someone sits down in a chili's with a ak47 propped against the wall that causes negative cash flow.

My 'starting' list
I have been pouring over seeds and planning what to WS and have finally decided that if I don't stop making lists and changing them every day, I will never get anything planted at all! LOL. Not sure exactly when it is that I will do the actual planting, but I have made a final (!:)) list of what I plan to "START" with and here it is:
White birch
mountain ash
golden chain tree
columbine--dark red
columbine--red star
columbine--light blue
hardy geranium--"hope" it is wargrave pink
verbascum--white blush (I believe)
sweet pea
sweet william--sootie
china aster--double pink
thyme--magic carpet
chilean glory vine
rose--Sir Wilfrid Laurier
Now does anyone that has more experience with WS see any glaring mistakes here? Is everything a good candidate for WS. Any and all advice is gratefully appreciated! :)
Lois - I am wintersowing for the first year so certainly not an expert, but I direct sow columbine, larkspur and hollyhocks so I think they will be okay. And I am wintersowing delphinium, hardy geranium and verbascum this year. I am using the wintersown organization's lists for zone 5, you can access them from wintersown.org, or I have the list for zone 5 and can send to you if you like. I would just want to check the impatiens and chilean glory vine. Happy sowing! thehills

Paul Pearson, MD, PhD, Cardiovascular Surgery at NorthShore Cardiovascular Institute, enjoys a good challenge, which is what ultimately drew him to medicine, first as Illinois's youngest paramedic and later as a surgeon.
Here, Dr. Pearson tells us what he finds most rewarding about his vocation and how his experiences as a parent of children with heart issues help him better understand and communicate with his patients:
What inspired you to go into
medicine?I have always enjoyed the excitement and challenges that characterize certain aspects of the medical field. I grew up watching the 1970s television show Emergency!, and was inspired to become a paramedic, as it turns
out the youngest paramedic in Illinois, at a time when the concept of pre-hospital advanced life support was just taking hold. Not only was I able to work through college but I was immersed in the excitement of critical situations where advanced training,
technology and quick, informed decision-making could save lives.
Why did you choose cardiac surgery? I have always thought that cardiac surgery expressed all of the best elements of medicine—advanced technology, highly trained
and skilled practitioners, decades of scientific inquiry and investigation—all applied to some of the most challenging, life-threatening health problems.
What do you find most challenging about your work?Any heart surgeon
will tell you that what keeps them from sleeping at night is the expression, "What we don't know, we don't know." It's when a critical situation occurs because of the inevitable gaps in our knowledge. This is where the years of
study, training and experience all need to come together to produce a good clinical outcome.
What do you find most rewarding? For me, the most rewarding aspect of surgery is the post-operative visit with the patient. By
that time, the patient is feeling better, recovery from surgery is well underway and the patient has usually been able to reflect on the dangerous journey through which they came out safe. For some patients, it is summarized as, "Thank you for
saving my life."
How does your personal experience as a father of children with heart defects affect the way you practice medicine and connect with your patients? Two of my boys were born with ventricular septal defects
(VSDs). I vividly remember the first time their mom called me in tears and told me that the pediatrician had detected a heart problem in our newborn son. There was a rush of emotions, followed by questions and "what ifs." I frequently
recall those emotions and still remember what I needed to hear from my son's doctors. This helps guide me as I talk with patients in consultation today.
Why do you think heart disease is still the leading cause of death in the U.S.?The human body was designed to work, be active and challenged both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, we have transformed into a society of inactivity, at both the physical and mental level. This has resulted in dramatic consequences on
our cardiovascular system, body and, I also think, soul.
What do you think is the most important thing we can do to care for our hearts?It is really very simple. Be active. Push yourself. Sweat! Have your diet be one of moderation.
And for those who are physically able, jogging in the springtime rain is great for the heart and soul.
What inspires you outside of medicine?I love to read good books, listen to classical music played by a skilled orchestra lead
by a gifted conductor. Of course, I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my children. However, to reflect about life, nothing beats a summertime walk on the North Shore at twilight.
A small but mighty organ, your heart accomplishes amazing feats with every single beat. This American Heart Month, get to know your heart better.
NorthShore University HealthSystem explains the inner workings of your heart and
cardiovascular system and shares simple tips to improve your heart health in our heart health infographic.
Click on the image below for our full infographic of heart health facts:
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women. Genetics, tobacco
use, family history, obesity, an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, stress and diet all contribute to this alarming statistic. Some heart-healthy changes are easier to make than others, but finding a balanced diet that appeals to the entire family, while also
possibly lowering your risk for heart disease, might be easier and more enjoyable than you think.
Many studies have shown that the rates of heart disease as well as certain types of cancer, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
disease were lower for those living in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. In fact, researchers have been able to determine that diet played a significant role in keeping the community healthy and living longer. The fundamental components of that diet
are known as the Mediterranean diet plan.
Philip Krause, MD, Interventional Cardiologist at NorthShore, discusses the benefits of a Mediterranean
diet plan and what makes it so great for your heart:
Focuses on fruits, vegetables and whole grains. On a typical American plate, meat is the star. On a Mediterranean diet plate, meat plays second fiddle to fresh fruit, vegetables,
beans and whole grains. When the focus on the meal shifts toward fresh fruits and vegetables, the result is a diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants and fiber.
Puts the salt shaker away. Excessive salt consumption can raise your blood
pressure, which may damage the arteries leading to your heart. And there's no doubt about it: Americans consume too much salt. The Mediterranean diet diversifies the spice rack, favoring spices and herbs over salt.
Cuts down on red meat.
Red meat is sidelined in favor of proteins that contain healthy fats like fish, poultry and nuts. Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can be a very beneficial part of your heart healthy diet plan.
Makes olive oil the main source
of fat. Just say no to butter. Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat and this type of fat may help bring high cholesterol levels in the right direction. It also may help regulate insulin levels in those suffering from type 2 diabetes.
for a glass of red wine. This is a great perk for the older adherents of the Mediterranean diet. When consumed in moderation (one four-ounce serving per day), red wine can be beneficial to your heart health by reducing LDL cholesterol levels and increasing
HDL cholesterol levels.
Limits portion sizes and cuts the carbs. Just because the Mediterranean diet plan is healthy doesn't mean recommended foods can be consumed in unlimited quantities. Watch your portion sizes as you
would with any diet or dish. If both weight loss and heart health are goals, limiting portion sizes along with carbohydrate intake—reducing the consumption of bread, potatoes, rice by 50%—can markedly assist in weight loss.
the Mediterranean diet! Do you? What are your favorite heart-healthy recipes?
NorthShore Hearts (#NSHearts) healthy eating and so should you. The importance
of diet on the health of your heart can't be overstated. A balanced diet contributes to one's overall health and wellness, including maintaining weight, but certain foods can significantly improve your heart's health while others can damage
it. Know the difference and show your heart some love by eating heart healthy foods.
Jason Robin, MD, Cardiology at NorthShore, shares
a few of the best and worst foods for your heart health:
You're the Best!
You're the Worst!

Texas Attorney General Reclaims Millions in State Funds
POSTED: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 1:31pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 4:49pm
AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has recovered $24.4 million for the State's general revenue fund today.
In 2008, the Texas Attorney General's Office charged Par Pharmaceutical Inc. of New Jersey and three other drug manufacturers with defrauding the Medicaid program by improperly reporting drug prices. Because the companies charged too much for medicine, they had to reimburse the state for some of the charges.
Attorney General Abbott was scheduled to take the companies to court earlier this year, however, the companies decided today to reimburse the money without a lengthy and costly trial.
To obtain more information about the Attorney General's efforts to fight Medicaid fraud, access the agency's Web site at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov.

Excellent news. Now they need to go after hospitals and doctors who engage in the same practice. Oh but wait, that would be every hospital and doctor in the state. Darn it! I guess we will have to continue paying $8 per aspirin at the hospital.
