Former Tigers shortstop Alan Trammell is on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot for the 13th year. (Otto Greule Jr / Getty Images)
This was decades ago, during one kid�s days on a mid-Michigan farm. Life had its rugged moments, especially if you were the neighbor�s dog that had been trekking through a woods loaded with briars and cockleburs, all before it ran into a skunk as a bad experience�s grand finale.
The doggy returned home to a family that didn�t quite know where to begin. Deodorizing the poor thing? Extracting burrs? It was a sorry mess of a job that, alas, had to be done.
It�s a bit how I feel in taking on this year�s Baseball Hall of Fame ballot.
Misery is immediate. The ballot has a 10-person limit. I have 11 people whom I think deserve induction.
In previous years, the 10-slot ceiling was no problem. Typically, you might have three, four, maybe five names worthy of enshrinement. But in recent years there has been a flood of new Cooperstown-caliber names. This deluge has been made more taxing by the most complicated issue Hall of Fame voters have faced in the 75 years Hall of Fame plaques have been hung.
Performance-enhancing drugs, which baseball quietly countenanced until serious drug testing began in 2005, for too long became the game�s trendy misdeed. How many dabbled in steroids and other muscle-expanders? How many benefited from it � maybe to exceptional degrees that made for exceptional statistics?
It�s so difficult to accurately identify or measure guilt versus innocence, or, more critically, the extent to which those who did use it (probably far more than we know) received artificial advantages.
And, so, as with my neighbors and their dog, we�re left to deal with the stink and to pick through the tangles. We�re left to make an afflicted entity something close to comfortable and even honorable.
Hold your nose and vote
Here�s how I decide, with no pretense that this is anything close to perfect science:
Believing that too many of the candidates probably had their sojourns with performance-enhancers, I prefer to look at career numbers and decide if the stuff they were applying or injecting might have tilted their stats disproportionately toward Cooperstown.
In other words: Mark McGwire, you�re out. Sammy Sosa, you�re out. Rafael Palmeiro, you miss the cut, as well. I believe the evidence they got help, and lots of it, enabled them to cross the Cooperstown threshold.
This rationale has its odious side, you bet. Proof of misconduct is anything but 100 percent clear. More painfully, I don�t for a moment care to see Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens on that Hall of Fame induction dais. I believe they were serial users and that the evidence of such has long been established.
But I also am convinced � and this makes their dalliances with PEDs particularly stupid and tragic � they would easily have cleared the Cooperstown crossbar had they never touched a drop or dab of help.
As much as it makes me gag to place their names on the ballot, Bonds and Clemens qualify for the reasons detailed above.
Next in line are this year�s premier newcomers, three of whom make it: Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and Frank Thomas. Jeff Kent belongs, and Mike Mussina has his case, but given the crowded conditions, I will go this year with Maddux, Glavine, and Thomas.
The returnees from previous ballots are unchanged: Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Edgar Martinez, Mike Piazza, Tim Raines, and Alan Trammell.
Jack Morris misses for the same reason he has lost in previous years. He falls just shy, although not by much, as do Curt Schilling and Fred McGriff
So, that�s that. Except, of course, for one minor mathematical problem: There are 11 names for 10 spots on this year�s docket.
Tough choice
It brings us quickly to discuss why this arbitrary 10-person limit should be observed.
It should not. If a person belongs in the Hall of Fame, he should not be excluded because of an unnecessarily restricted ballot. Those who say a wider group would open the doors to more fringe people receiving votes are hung up on a meaningless aberration.
Let the backseat cast, or even someone fringe, get their votes, however many or few (tell me why Richie Sexson, Paul LoDuca, and Jacque Jones are on the eligible list). They ultimately don�t count. They should have no bearing on the 75 percent approval needed for inducting legitimate candidates.
Leaving off a player deserving of a Hall of Fame vote � when a career so noble has been forged � is a negative exercise in what should be an inclusive process. It�s telling the Rhodes Scholar that Oxford is a bit full this semester.
So, what to do about 11 names for a 10-spot Cooperstown roster?
I�m going to do something cruel, and counter-productive, which in this context is what the restricted ballot is.
I�ll leave off a great hitter, Martinez, who, because of bad knees was forced to perform most of his career as a designated hitter.
But I�m going to do something else and hope that it doesn�t invalidate my vote.
As a form of civil disobedience, and as a testament to Martinez�s genuine candidacy, I will write his name onto the ballot beneath the 10 boxes otherwise checked.
And then I�m going to do what my neighbor�s dog did after the smell was subdued and its fur was smoothed: I�m going to get on with life, happily, and hope that it�s at least 12 months until I again confront a mess of the kind I just experienced.

Car modeling
by 'Paul Beattie' from Paul Beattie
Andre's book is absolutely fantastic, packed full of easy to follow instructions and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Rhino. With a step by step approach, you can move through the book quickly. The knowledge you build along the way can easily be used to create any product. It could benefit from a larger format book as the images are a little small which makes it a little hard to see some of the lines. However, I don't think you will find a better Rhino book around.

Pearl Izumi Pro Barrier WxB Shoe Covers
? Share a...
Never Leave Home Without Them
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These thin shoe covers are surprisingly warm; They keep my feet toasty in temps down to 15 F. I rarely carry rain pants. My rain jacket and these shoe covers are usually enough to keep me warm even if my legs get wet. They are small and light, so I always pack them in my seat bag or jersey pocket for unexpected wind, rain or snow. They are a bit of a chore to stretch over mtn bike shoes, so if there is a question, size up.
These little gems have often made the difference between cutting a ride short; due to icy-cold, wet feet; or completing the ride in comfort regardless of the weather. I even wear them in warmer months for long, high-elevation descents (read chilly!) in the Rocky Mountains.
Francis Ong
Hi there. May I know if the cover will also fit the Alp-X shoes?
Chase C.
WARM and DRY!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I already own several pieces of Pearl Izumi apparel and know they make quality gear. So, I figured I'd try these shoe covers on a whim since they were on sale. After the first couple rides I am pleasantly surprised. I just got back from a damp and drizzly ride, but the feet stayed nice and dry. The interior is made of some nice fleece sort of material that also provides some warmth. I wear a size 45/11.5 shoes and the XL fits them perfectly, nice and snug all the way around. All in all it was a good buy, and highly recommended for this winter!
I wear size 44 SIDI's. Do the sizing for these covers run large or small? As in, should I get the L or XL cover for my shoes?
Nice and Toasty
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Although the weather hasn't gotten too bad yet my feet had started to get a little cold.... not now! With these booties my feet stay much warmer and they feel like they'll work through the much worse weather that is coming soon.

And the latest Android 4.0 includes "card.c", the USB Audio Driver for ALSA which should be compliant with USB audio class 2 devices allowing for 24 bits / 192 kHz. https://bitbucket.org/paulobrien/android_ke...ound/usb/card.c Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The Linux kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack. Thus Android handles all the things that Linux is really good at such as a vast array of device drivers, which take the pain out of interfacing to peripheral hardware. The official Android with USB audio enabled should be used by most people, who don't want to mod their device. Android kernel modders have already enabled the USB audio feature on Nook Color tablets which are powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This post has been edited by Canar: Feb 13 2012, 18:58

It would let you plug any Android phone into the USB port of any USB audio compliant DAC, car stereo, receiver, etc. and play audio over the speakers while charging the device without need for an AUX jack and cable.

First post is kind of spammy (googled for specific phrases, many forum posts come up). So probably the OP isn't coming back.
It would let you plug any Android phone into the USB port of any USB audio compliant DAC, car stereo, receiver, etc. and play audio over the speakers while charging the device without need for an AUX jack and cable. Does USB power go both ways? Cause in this case, shouldn't the Android device be powering the DAC/speakers? |

I have to admit I have seen none of the Riddick movies.
The first trailer for David Twohy's Riddick has arrived. To be honest, after watching this trailer, I felt as if I just saw a straight to DVD sequel. There was nothing here that felt epic, original, or necessary. I do love the one publicity shot that has been released, pictured below. Solely for the fact that it reminds me of that last shot of Conan the Barbarian. Sound off below Maniacs.
The Plot: The latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000′s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004′s The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.
Riddick features Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff and Dave Bautista.
Riddick arrives September 6th, 2013.
yup, I like pitch black and chronicles so hope this is a good one also.
jimvo99, the first one was o.k for the time it came out in. the second one to me kicked ass. Even though way different both. I would say give it a shot..
Pitch Black 1.5: Tokyo Drift - this is the third chapter that's really the last chapter, but actually it's a prequel to the cartoon, and a sequel to The Pacifier, but takes place before The Iron Giant...
I agree zilla. Chronicles of Riddick was badass. Riddick is like a futuristic/crazy version of Conan. He's just a badass warrior getting by, pickin himself up and dusting himself off.
Hopefully, the Riddick films continue to be a nice addition to the sci-fi action genre. Yes, COR was a bit over the top, but, it was unique.
Speaking of COR, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the universe that was created in that film could have easily been broken into two different films. All the intrigue and strangeness of those death worshipping cultists left me wondering what was going on with all those other strong characters.
I'm so beyond ready for this movie. The first one was really badass, and its really unfortunate that Vin Diesel let's the Fast movies take precedence over a movie franchise that really COULD be what Blade was for Wesley Snipes...that being said I'm not overly confident about what they are doing with the story, because the last movie left off with Riddick as a Half-Dead Necromonger general. Not sure if they are going to totally disregard what appened in the last movie, but it sure seems that way....I think that would for sure be a huge mistake. But eithr vway I'm happy to see the characther again.
Are you Serious Yelder? The poster(screen-shot) for the movie has him sitting in thr necromonger chair.
Read the IMDB entry, Serious. Karl Urban is in this one and he's hunting down Riddick along with the mercs. Matter of fact, this is a shorter version of a longer trailer that has Vaako in it.

Indians facing Twins with grip on Wild Card spot
Tribe on seven-win streak; Kluber squares off with Hernandez
Win and you're in.
That's the situation facing the Indians, and they're making the most of it. Cleveland pulled out its seventh straight victory in Thursday's series opener against the Twins and goes into Friday night's game at Target Field with a one-game lead over the Rangers for the second American League Wild Card spot. With three games to go, the Tribe simply needs to take care of business.
As veteran Jason Giambi said on Wednesday: "We don't have to scoreboard watch. We don't have to do anything but go play baseball."
The Indians are still chasing the Rays for the top Wild Card berth, which would provide home-field advantage in the Wild Card Game. They are one game behind Tampa Bay, which also has won seven in a row.
The Twins, on the other hand, have dropped three in a row and are mired in a 5-17 skid as they try to play spoiler. They almost did so on Thursday, scoring four runs in the ninth inning and putting the tying and winning runs on base before falling, 6-5.
"We're playing a team in the pennant race here," manager Ron Gardenhire said before Thursday's game. "They're one game up. So there's going to be a lot of intensity coming from their dugout. Hopefully we can join in with it. There's a lot to play for because all of baseball is watching this series. I'm hoping our guys are going to want to get after it and play the game the right way and give these guys a run for their money and make them earn it."
Gardenhire will turn to left-hander Pedro Hernandez (3-2, 6.05 ERA) on Friday against the Indians' Corey Kluber (10-5, 3.61).
Hernandez joined the rotation in September with a chance to pitch his way toward a starting spot next season, but things have not gone according to plan. The 24-year-old has a 7.13 ERA in four outings this month, giving up 26 hits and six walks while striking out nine in 17 2/3 innings. On Saturday, a five-run second-inning chased him from a start against the A's.
"They made an adjustment to me in the second inning, and for that reason I gave up a lot of hits," Hernandez said.
Kluber, on the other hand, is 3-0 with a 4.05 ERA in four September starts after missing about a month with a right middle finger sprain. The Indians have won all four of those outings, including on Sunday against the Astros, when the righty gave up two runs over 5 1/3 innings.
"I still think he's not in midseason form as far as his command," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "But he still competes. You saw what he gave us. I just think he's still kind of clawing his way back."
Indians: Bourn questionable for return
Center fielder Michael Bourn missed his second straight game on Thursday with a sprained right wrist and was not certain if he would be able to play on Friday. Bourn, who hurt himself sliding into second base on Tuesday, called himself "day to day."
Francona said Bourn was available to pinch-run in the series opener against the Twins, but he had not tried to throw or hit. Bourn will undergo a series of tests Friday before a decision is made on his status.
• Left fielder Michael Brantley is 20-for-40 with two home runs and 10 RBIs over his past 10 games. He's only the fifth player since 2000 to put together four straight games with at least three hits and one RBI.
Twins: Arcia getting close
Outfielder Oswaldo Arcia hasn't started since a 3-for-4 game on Sunday at Oakland after suffering a bruised right knee during batting practice Monday. However, the 22-year-old is making progress.
Arcia pinch-hit in Thursday's ninth inning and struck out on three pitches to end the game. He is expected to return to the lineup during this series.
Worth noting
• Kluber has a 3.31 ERA in three starts against the Twins this season.
• Hernandez has allowed seven runs over 10 1/3 innings against the Indians, with 10 walks and four strikeouts.

Charlotte may be home to NASCAR, big banking, and mega-churches; but those aspects don't quite exemplify what the "Queen City" is all about. Uptown Charlotte is business by day, and electric by nightfall. From this central district, neighborhoods radiate out in all directions. Gallery hopping and great local restaurants and abound in NoDa. Myers Park is all about high-end apartments and housing. Need to do your shopping? South Park has a giant mall for just that. Charlotte apartments and rentals connect you with a down-home community with plenty of amenities and enthusiastic neighbors.
If you're looking for an affordable city to live in, Charlotte apartments might be just the thing you're looking for. While the wards of Charlotte's Center City do cost more than the rest of the city, the suburbs and outer neighborhoods have tons of apartments that are spacious yet cheap. Over the past few years, the vacancy rate has been hovering around 10%, which has contributed to the cheap rent prices. Most other aspects that contribute to the cost of living in Charlotte are about on par with the national average.
Charlotte is best known as the second largest banking center in the United States, just behind New York City. But if you're not in the financial industry, don't worry. Major employers in Charlotte include Lowe's, Goodrich Corporation, Nucor, and Duke Energy. If you're hoping to learn a thing or two in this town, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is the city's largest educational institution. There are quite a few other respectable schools in the area, too, including Davidson College, Charlotte School of Law, Johnson C. Smith University, and Queens University of Charlotte. Charlotte apartments are the perfect solution for people looking to either work or study in the city.

Is there any news on them?
Practice report translated into English by ppsk8live-Thank you!
Zijun Li, I hope she podiums
I'm so happy that Hanyu and Dai brought up Kevin, that's the kind of respect overdue from Skate Canada.
I hope Kaetlyn and Zijun Li both deliver two flawless programs! and Gold and Mao.
And for all the teams/skaters, Go for a great competition!
Yes! Wonderfully classy of them. Of course, they can truly respect his pushing the technical envelope and having arguably the hardest jump layout of the men (other than maybe Javier).
I have hopes for the Chinese girls too... Kexin was one of my faves at World's last year and it appears Zijun is ready to be a podium contender.
I'm also hoping Mao can put together a clean skate. She's had a lot of trouble over the season and even though it's led to wins, I'm sure she'd like to win with a solid set of skates.
Kevin gets lots of love and respect from skating fans in Japan, too! Hope he has two nice skates and gets onto the podium. Go Kevin!
Here is a short news clip on Japanese men aired last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7co4fD5k6U
On Takahashi's new SP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPqDXkkBzxE
As for Japanese ladies, scheduled to be aired tonight.
Mao landed the 3A in practice (3 times out of 3 attempts).
The technical specialist of ladies is the same person with Vancouver Olympics. Maybe this selection is influenced by the JSF. I predict her 3A would be ratified at least in the free if she landed in both programs "cleanly".
This one says that Asada is going for a 3-3. I guess it would be the 3F-3Lo in the FS. In today's practice session, she landed the 3-3 three times along with the 3A.
Jump layout on paper?
Thanks! If you have any additional information please tell us .
Her 3-3 could also be 3F-3T for number of reasons.
And I don't think her jump layout would be like this because there's too little time for the first jump she does, a 3L. So more probable is 3L, 3A, 3F-3L/T, 3Lz, 3S, 3L-2L-2L, 3F. And probably one more 2L added to either 3S or 3F. But WOW, that's still an 8-triple program!
What about mao's SP? Will she try the 3-3 or the 3A?
In an interview by Fuji TV, Mao said she would try 3A in SP. 3A and 3-3 in FP.
Check out Mao's 3F-3L! I think that second loop is looking mighty good:
So it could be something like:
LP: 3L 3A 3F-3Lo 3Lz 3S 2A-3T 3F-2lo-2lo
K&C at least looks much better than at NHK with their a la either wedding bathtub or coffin version. This one is in classic traditional way. Kansai is such Kansai.

Essential Fashion Illustrationby Rockport
This book's aim is to submerge the reader in the world of illustration. The first section ranges from how to start to draw a human figure to the techniques to stylize and synthesize it. This section provides a large amount of figures in different poses, as well as hands and feet—often the most difficult parts— in diverse postures and angles. However, in the field of fashion it is also essential to know how to draw fabric, and even more important to know how to draw the folds of clothing. The items of clothing are presented as much in technical drawing as in figures in movement, and forming light and shadow is also explained, as this gives quality to the illustration.
The second part of the book revolves around color and the different techniques with which one can work: watercolor, wax, pastel, and so on. All the drawings that appear constitute a brief exhibition of the changes that the fashion world has experienced, and with this in mind a path has been laid which starts in 1900 illustrated in watercolors, and finishes in 2000, illustrated in pencil. The goal of this volume is to uncover the reader's desire to paint and to provide him with some of the secrets that will encourage him to do so. After all, experience is the most effective way to learn, whatever the subject.

- Truly amazing. Review by ST, San Jose, CA
Value Quality Price Noticed a difference after using only a few sample packets. I was hooked! Skin smoother, more toned & hydrated. Took off 1 star for the pump- I too am having trouble getting it to work. I am 52 yo.
- a lovely SPF moisturizer Review by USA
Value Quality Price In my 40's and hate wasting money. Skin looks nice and bright, is not breaking out, and concealer glides on over this stuff. Not sure about wrinkles, but I'm sticking with it for now.

A new Mediterranean Diet Pyramid? Was something wrong with the old one? No! The creators of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid have just updated it to reflect the latest science.
Here's what's new:
The pyramid still emphasizes:
Since the Mediterranean Pyramid was introduced in 1993, extensive research has corroborated the healthfulness of this cuisine, which has demonstrated the highest average life expectancy and the lowest rates of chronic diseases among adults. People have taken notice: Over the past 15 years, many restaurants, cooking shows and cookbooks have embraced this way of meal planning.
Even so, many still struggle with eating red meat only a few times a month. I know I've gradually (sometimes even grudgingly) changed my eating habits to make plant foods the main focus of meals. I now fill at least three-quarters of my plate with vegetables, whole grains and fruit. I'm also eating fish and seafood at least twice a week, choosing low-fat cheese and yogurt, and limiting eggs to once a week.
How have you adjusted your eating habits over the past 15 years? Tell me your stories.

Where is the pyramid?
I got cancer in 2009 since then I don't eat red meat at all fish and seafood I do eat since I changed my eating habits I feel better but wanted more info on this diet I want to try it
I'll try to put this to good use immedatiley.
I want to know about the calorie a man needs each day to remain fit. Abir_This post was really nice!It's very informative and fact based.I appreciate you very much.Actually I was looking for something for a couple of days.I found the right way here.Would you mind if I link it to my home page use hcg diet? Thanks!
I would like to know if bees honey is acceptable in either Maayo Clinic diets.
Hi Vanessa - Oldways, a non-profit organization dedicated to research and promotion of traditional food patterns, sustainable agriculture and healthy eating developed the first Mediterranean Pyramid in 1993 and updated it in 2009. Info may be found at their website: http://www.oldwayspt.org/med_pyramid.html
The Acai Berry comes from Brazil and it combats free radicals. While the Acai Berry has received all the attention and hype of a hot Hollywood weight loss pill, it differs from the others in one major way -- it actually works! Acai Berry
Yes, where is this new pyramid please?
Can you sub sugar for Stevia? Also what oils are recommended?
I have been reading about the Meditteranean diet it usually calls out goat cheese as a suitable ingredient, however I noticed you didn't mention goat cheese in your article. Any reason why? And are there health benefits to incorporating goat cheese in one's diet? Thanks!
Nice post, thanks for sharing this wonderful and usefull information with us.
Susan - Your question is interesting - I haven't seen research looking at a gluten-free/Mediterranean diet and health effects. So I can only assume the following: avoiding whole wheat (rye, barley and in some instances oats - and products made with them) is only one part of the Mediterranean diet. The base of the new Mediterranean Pyramid includes vegetables, fruits, legumes (beans), nuts and seeds, olive oil, herbs and spices - and yes whole grains. There are gluten free grains that are whole: brown or wild rice, kasha (buckwheat), quinoa. And I occasionally see whole grain flours made from them. I watch the labels of all grain products and try to pick gluten-free ones with the highest fiber content. My husband has Celiac disease so I too try to incorporate the Mediterranean style approach to eating into our diet. I hope this helps!
Will this diet work if you are gluten intolerant? What can you substitute for whole wheat bread? Cereal, pasta, etc?
i didn't realise this had a term. i just try to eat healthily generally. the Mediterraneans seem to have got it right with their work ethic and how they eat food. really awesome food in moderation! i occasionally top up my day with some natural health products but thats about it.
I have changed my eating habits over the last 6 years to more meet the standards or make-up of the Mediterranean diet. Luckily I've always enjoyed Greek food having spent some time there in previous years. After three months I started to notice a better feeling of well-being and I lost a significant amount of weight which I think was mostly due to processed food consumption earlier on. I mostly follow the Mediterranean food pyramid to the best of my ability and the best example of that is this I think - http://safe-and-easy-weightloss.com/MedDietPyramid.htm From time to time I sway a little but not frequently. I find that the hardest part to follow is ensuring you have access to fresh fish on a regular basis.
We have friends from Israel, plus go to a Temple that has many Middle Eastern members, I have gleaned alot of knowledge from them. Your Pyramid changes are right on, Spicy Fish is a big dish and we love it, it is versatile as far as what Fish to use. Also there are many Eggplant Dishes, just a few Items I have picked up:Salt should be Sea Salt , Spices are key Cumin, Coriander, Paprika, Ground Pepper are super Flavor Enhancers, when it comes to Oil THE BEST extra virgin is a must. Lots of Fresh Tomato Fresh Cilantro and Mint. Garbanzo Beans are a huge source of Protein and are also used Liberally. Meats we use are Ground Turkey Breast, and a bit of Beef Brisket, Chicken Breast are also eaten a lot in this house. We have a Kosher home so easy on the Salt is our rule. I search for Kosher recipes on the web, and keep the ones I like, always using my rule of kitchen....my Kitchen My Dish My Rules!. Be Well
I just started eating meat after eating only veg and seafood for the last 20 years (as an attempt to eat more protein, especially since so much seafood is unsustainable these days). Now that I've found sources for nonindustrially farmed meat in some restaurants and the farmer's market, I am eating a little more protein but still not that much as I haven't gotten into the habit. My diet will always be simple, clean and mostly plant-based, whether you call that Meditteranean or whatnot. I think it's simply healthy.
My wife and I do not eat red meats as often. We have switched to sea food mostly with organic buffalo when we want a red meat meal. We eat pork back ribs rarely. More fruit and veg with an empahsis on broccoli helps with fibre. Organic rolled oats for breakfast.
and what about animal ( saturated )fat? I've heard there are more such fats in that diet without any harm ful effects and even useful
I had to change my diet because of a crazy amount of hormone/endocrine issues, now I am free of gluten, soy and dairy... it has been a true challenge. However, I LOVE to cook, so I decided to change how I approached cooking and that helped me stick to my new dietary needs. In the end I started a website called Nourish This to help others as well... its not always easy but in my case it made such a big difference it was and still is well worth it!
3jdkfp I have discovered the glories of cooking bulgur instead of rice and potatoes and have added lots of legumes to my family's diet. It keeps away hunger longer, the fiber helps a lot with constipation and as an added benefit, our blood sugar levels are under control My husband and i have type 2 diabetes so our food choices are so very important.
If you've ever followed the Weight Watchers diet, this is old news.
Would like to see pictorial of the pyramid.
I've been trying to do the usual: more fresh veggies, less red meat, less fat in general, after a very brief Sugar-Busters fling. One thing that's helped me keep on track lately has been using HealthVault to keep track of weight, diet and other info (http://www.healthvault.com/personal/scenario/lose-weight.html). My doctor has been incredibly supportive, and I like taking an active role in my health.
Being Italian, it always amazes me to read about this "new" trend of eating, which was the way my family always ate. Fesh fruit, fresh vegetables, nuts, Italian cheese, butter, Italian bread, pork, chicken, beef, potatoes, pasta, (and lots of it) e.v.o.o., salad, eggs, ice water, tea, coffee, jello, Italian baked goods, a small garden for herbs and, of course, garlic! We didn't have prepared "boxed" food. Everything was freshly made. There was no "junk" food or pop in the house. A snack would be a chunk of cheese, pepperoni and Italian bread or fruit, or popcorn with butter. No high blood pressure, no heart problems, no diabeties and we weren't overweight. This way of eating has carried throughout my life with some pitfalls along the way..getting trapped into junk food eating at work, which I recently stopped!!! In conclusion, I do believe that people today don't eat properly...and...have little or no physical activity. Children are allowed to much t.v., video games and sitting at the computer. As for adults, I don't understand why so many are overweight. I work full time and every Sunday cook 2-3 meals for the week. It helps so much to come home after work and have a good meal. It's healthier and cheaper than going out too! thanks!!
One egg a week? Here's in defense of eggs, from Vreni Gurd's Wellness Tips: Slowly the evidence is mounting that there is absolutely no need to be afraid of eating eggs, despite the fact that they are high in cholesterol. Hopefully soon the mainstream medical establishment will go that one step further and acknowledge that there is no association between cholesterol levels and heart disease, as is blatantly obvious in the graph at the end of this entertaining article by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick comparing percent-population with high cholesterol and death rates from CHD in various countries. That said, eating cholesterol does not seem to increase cholesterol levels in the body, and eggs are an extremely nutritious food, so there is no harm in eating them every day if you want to. Hard-boiled eggs can be packed along as a healthy protein snack - much healthier than those processed protein bars that contain a list of chemicals a mile long, and just as convenient, and also much healthier than protein shakes made from protein-isolate. So, enjoy your eggs!
I have always found this quite interesting since the people in Mediterranean countries I have visited in the past and more recently have always enjoyed thier lamb (particularly greece) and pork. I understand also the people in Mediterranean countries and asia are prone to Thallasemia. Perhaps we should aim for a more balance diet. Say two white meat, two fish, one red meat and a couple of veg (eash week) for a proper balance. I also heard that we also need some sunflower oil in our diet is this not the case?
My comment: Due to borderline/pre-diabetes, I modify the so called Meditarean diet out of necessity by eating more protein- which, yes, tends to be beef, pork, chicken, as well as fish due to IBS interfering with using grains. Any comments? I stick closer to the low carb type diet whenever I can.
A previous writer cited Dr. Esselstyn at Cleveland Clinic. Add his son, Rip, who has some profound things to say about diet (The Engine2 Diet). Their view (along with Dean Ornish) is that meat & the meat industry does not promote health, nor does dairy or eggs (and their industries). Human health comes from plants. The Esselsytns (and many others) have the science on heart patients to back up the return of patient disease indicators to normal and better from a plant based diet. I would suggest to Ms. Nelson & Zeratsky they give the plant based diet a try like I have. Too radical? The taste buds change, weight falls off and all the health indicators become amazing. In regard to those who have good health despite their diet, there is a percentage of the population that is immune to most health problems. They won the genetic lottery. The question is, did you?
You can see the new Mediterranean Diet Pyramid at: http://www.oldwayspt.org/med_pyramid.html
Our biggest adjustments over the last 2 years have been changing where our red meat and eggs come from. We now purchase locally grown, grass fed beef by the 1/2 side, and eggs from local, happy, chickens that run around a field and eat grass and bugs all day. It is difficult to find beef and eggs that are raised in an outdoor space with natural grasses as food, but the omega 3 to omega 6 ratios make the effort well worth it. In America, most of our animals are sick and stressed in huge, confined feed lots that care nothing for them except the bottom line. Is it any wonder we are sick and stressed as well?
Ladies: Where is the actual pyramid?
6 years ago went thru a quad bypass, 6 weeks later learned 3 of the 4 bypasses were occluded, leaving me with one bypass operational. I also have Type II diabetes, and the daily physical creakinesses of old age (I'm now 73). Diet-wise, I have greatly reduced sugar in diet, use almost no canned sauces, soups, etc. I now eat 3 times as many whole grain foods as before sx, carefully watch ingredients in any prepared foods, rejecting those loaded with with sugar or syrups, sodium, "bad" fats/oil, and so forth. I have greatly reduced my sodium intake. I only use olive and canola oils, stay away from other fats, except I use L/F butter spread @ 50 cals per Tbsp. My diet includes low fat or 1% dairy foods, lots of fresh veggies and fruits. Instead of white rice and white pasta I have switched to brown rice, cornmeal mush (i.e., polenta), baked or boiled in skin potatoes in small amounts, rarely eat white breads, and when I "fall off the wagon", I am right back on it the next day trying to continue eating right, including more poultry & fish, 1 red meat per week, & 3 eggs per week. I also exercise at the heart rehab gym facility, although I am guilty of sometimes not sticking to my goals. I have been doing this for six years, & am still in reasonably good health, I believe because of good diet, medium exercise, medications to help with cardio & diabetes, staying mentally "fit" (being happy vs depressed), and a great cardiolog
Based on my own experience, the Med Diet Pyramid was the crutch I needed to start a weight reduction program; from 230 to 195pds. In the process I discovered Olive oil and balsamic vinegar on fresh salads which beat the hell out of those Kraft concoctions on the store shelves. The net result: I was able to bring my blood pressure down to a level that I can now control, and excercising is no longer a challenge. Two items: Wild Fish off the northwest coast IS safe to consume - It is fresh halibut season up here and it is literally outstanding, and because of my belief in how healthy I feel, you should see my golf game Now!!
With the oceans so polluted I'm not sure that I want to eat fish so often even though I love it. I have heard that one should not consume fish caught off the Oregon coast more than once a month, Washington coast twice a month. Alaska's northern waters okay so far. Perhaps going vegan would be best.
I am on a food plan for an eating disorder that requires 16 oz veggies at lunch and dinner, fruit at each meal, 1 fat at breakfast, 2 at lunch and 4 at dinner. I feel great strong and I don't eat sugar or anything containing it or any kind of flour. All cravings for sugar and flour are gone by not eating those things. The clarity of mind is significantly better and happiness is way above what it has been when eating these things. Thanks for your information.
Research indicates that the less fat you consume, the healthier you will be. The fat-free diet profiled by Dr. Esselstyn of the Cleveland Clinic is a plant-based, legume-oriented diet, and it may do a much better job of unclogging arteries than any diet that includes olive oil, dairy, or meats of any kind. Let's hear it for green leafy vegetables!
Dear Jennifer/Katherine: What about the daily cup of wine. Can we eat bread, potatoes and rice?. Thank you.
I have been looking for a good Mediterranean cook book with menus that has LOTS of photos. No luck yet. Do you know of one? Thank you, Stephanie
"The creators of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid have just updated it to reflect the latest science." What is that science? I thought all the science was showing that low fat continues to fail on weight loss, CVD and diabetes. Latest science I saw said monounsaturated fat was worse than saturated fat. "For a 5% lower energy intake from SFAs and a concomitant higher energy intake from PUFAs, there was a significant inverse association between PUFAs and risk of coronary events" Jakobsen MU, et al: Major types of dietary fat and risk of coronary heart disease: a pooled analysis of 11 cohort studies. Am J Clin Nutr 2009, 89:1425-1432.
All anyone needs to know about the old USDA Food Guide Pyramid is contained in it's name. With all due respect to the fine professionals there, USDA stands for US Department of Agriculture, the same government agency responsible for making loans to, and collecting loan payments from, ranchers and wheat and corn farmers. Not coincidentally, they also issue certain food-based public assistance and school food programs. So, it isn't hard to see the USDA's prime motivation in developing their old pyramid to be keeping government assistance costs down by promoting relatively cheap but nutritionally vacuous tummy-fillers and ensuring the financial stability of the farms that produce them. I, too, would like to see a graphic of the Mediterranean food pyramid, and a citation for the science behind it. I look forward to the day when nutritional and dietary guidance is published by the National Institutes of Health based on sound medical science, not the USDA.
I eat mediterranean style because I like it, so no problem there. But I would like very much to see a graphic showing the new pyramid, please, in case I need to adjust anything.
So in essence, you are saying the USDA Food Guide Pyramid is old science. As Registered Dietitians, I applaud you for stepping out and saying it. The USDA Food Guide Pyramid is based upon VERY old science.
I've been eating Mediterranean-style since 2000 or so. That was when the Atkins diet was peaking (again!) and the low-fat eating style was starting to fade. I had done research into various diets since my patients were asking my advice on how to both lose weight and get healthier. The obvious choice was the Mediterranean diet. I've wondered how much of the health benefit derives from the spices common in Mediterranean cuisine: cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, coriander, anise, Spanish saffron, lemon,mint, parsley, garlic, dill, pepper, and sumac. I look forward to reading Oldways rationale for adding spices to the pyramid. -Steve Parker, M.D. -Health Lifestyle Blog: http://AdvancedMediterraneanDiet.com/blog/
Well, ladies, have the pyramids not done enough damage? Take the vegan edition--- I have outlived all of them already on a non-diet , consuming your weekly red meat quota once a day. At 84 all systems Normal! No vitamins, medicines supplements. In order to define obesity I chose to coin a new word ( disease?); Carbohydritis.
My husband and I have started eating more chicken and using less salt around 1991. Now I focus on adding more fish, fresh fruits, and olive oil to our meals. Like you, giving up the red meat is difficult for my husband.

Best thing to happen to fast food. You can purchase a McDouble, a McChicken, a parfait, a small fry, a small soft drink, a side salad, and a few other things for the low low price of $1. Unfortunately McDonalds is getting rid of the dollar menu in 2011 :( save the dollar menu!

Why did they give Lone Ranger a Super Bowl spot and not Superman? WHY?????
Walt Disney is really hyping up their Super Bowl spots this week (see the OZ tease here). This one for The Lone Ranger will air during the pre-game show. The tease for it is below as well as a new poster for the film.
Official Synopsis: From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' "The Lone Ranger," a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
"The Lone Ranger" also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.
A Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films presentation, "The Lone Ranger" is directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski, with screen story by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio and Justin Haythe and screenplay by Justin Haythe and Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio. "The Lone Ranger" releases in U.S. theaters on July 3, 2013.
Why did they give Lone Ranger a Super Bowl spot and not Superman? WHY?????
Because Superman doesn't wear a mask Kemosabe. And he looks metrosexual in his blue unitard. :)
Did you hear that Disney pulled Clone Wars from Cartoon Network. I guess now that they own SW they can tell them to give us our stuff. Will be interesting to see where they go with it.
Sorry I just can't get past that stupid dead bird on JD's head and his vomiting his lines in that grunting monotone.
Warner Bros has backed off big time from airing Super Bowl spots for its big movies the last few years. The last time I can clearly remember a WB movie getting a Super Bowl spot was The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions, though I'm sure they had something more recent than that.
Nowadays, the Super Bowl spots mostly go to Paramount, Disney, and Sony, though I think Fast Six is expected to get a spot during the game as well.
I read that too. If season 6 is renewed, it will probably go on Disney XD. But, I thought the original plan for Lucasfilm was 100 episodes/5 seasons anyhow. I think they should put this one to rest.
Don't get me wrong, I love the cartoon but the prequels stuff has been done and done. There is no sense of danger when you know what will eventually happen (the problems with any prequels)
I say cancel it and use the same animation division to work on some of the EU stories. Since Ford, Hamill, Fisher are too old for the Thrawn series, then why not animate it instead? That would be cool.
Clone Wars is going to Disney XD this Fall. it is not getting cancelled.
As for the Lone Ranger movie it looks fun. I guess I will go see it at the local discount theater ro on Netflix.
