Until recently, protein got little attention. Like a quiet child in a classroom of rowdies, it was often overshadowed by fat, carbohydrates, and vitamins. That's changing. Lately there's been an explosion of interest in protein, largely triggered by high-protein diets for weight loss.
Surprisingly little is known about protein and health. The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight per day to keep from slowly breaking down their own tissues (1). That's just about 8 grams of protein for every 20 pounds of body weight. Beyond that, there's relatively little solid information on the ideal amount of protein in the diet, a healthy target for calories contributed by protein, or the best kinds of protein.
Around the world, millions of people don't get enough protein. Protein malnutrition leads to the condition known as kwashiorkor. Lack of protein can cause growth failure, loss of muscle mass, decreased immunity, weakening of the heart and respiratory system, and death.
In the United States and other developed countries, getting the minimum daily requirement of protein is easy. Cereal with milk for breakfast, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, and a piece of fish with a side of beans for dinner adds up to about 70 grams of protein, plenty for the average adult.
All Protein Isn't Alike
Some of the protein you eat contains all the amino acids needed to build new proteins. This kind is called complete protein. Animal sources of protein tend to be complete. Other protein sources lack one or more "essential" amino acids—that is, amino acids that the body can't make from scratch or create by modifying another amino acid. Called incomplete proteins, these usually come from fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts.
Vegetarians need to be aware of this. To get all the amino acids needed to make new protein—and thus to keep the body's systems in good shape—people who don't eat meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or dairy products should eat a variety of protein-containing foods each day.
The Protein Package
Animal protein and vegetable protein probably have the same effects on health. It's the protein package that's likely to make a difference.
A 6-ounce broiled porterhouse steak is a great source of complete protein—about 40 grams worth. But it also delivers about 38 grams of fat, 14 of them saturated. (2) That's more than 60 percent of the recommended daily intake for saturated fat. The same amount of salmon gives you 34 grams of protein and 18 grams of fat, 4 of them saturated. (2) A cup of cooked lentils has 18 grams of protein, but under 1 gram of fat. (2)
The bottom line is that it's important to pay attention to what comes along with the protein in your food choices. Vegetable sources of protein, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains, are excellent choices, and they offer healthy fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Nuts are also a great source of healthy fat. While many think of nuts as just another junk food snack, in reality they are excellent sources of protein and other healthful nutrients. Learn why nuts are healthy for the heart.
The best animal protein choices are fish and poultry. If you are partial to red meat, such as beef, pork, or lamb, stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet, for several reasons: Research suggests that people who eat even modest amounts of red meat have a higher risk of developing colon cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, and a higher risk of dying from heart disease, cancer, or any cause. (3–7) There's also substantial evidence that replacing red meat with fish, poultry, beans, or nuts, could help prevent heart disease and diabetes—and could lower the risk of early death. Additionally, recent research shows that red meat consumption may increase risk of type 2 diabetes:
- People who started eating more red meat than usual were found to have a 50% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes during the next four years.
- Researchers also found that those who reduced red meat consumption lowered their type 2 diabetes risk by 14% over a 10-year follow-up period.
So make red meat (beef, pork, lamb) only an occasional part of your diet—no more than two 3-ounce servings a week—if you eat it at all. And skip the processed stuff—bacon, hot dogs, and deli meats—since that's linked even more strongly to cancer, heart disease, and diabetes risk. (Processed meats are very high in sodium, which may be one reason why they are associated with higher disease risks. Learn more about why cutting salt and sodium is good for your health, and learn what you can do to lower your risk of type 2 diabetes.)
Protein and Chronic Disease
The most solid connection between protein and health has to do with allergies. Proteins in food and the environment are responsible for these overreactions of the immune system. Beyond that, relatively little evidence has been gathered regarding the effect of protein on the development of chronic diseases.
Cardiovascular disease: One concern about the high-protein diet craze has been that eating diets high in protein and fat, and low in carbohydrate, would harm the heart. Recent research provides reassurance that eating a lot of protein doesn't harm the heart.
In fact, it is possible that eating more protein, especially vegetable protein, while cutting back on easily digested carbohydrates may benefit the heart. A 20-year prospective study of 82,802 women found that those who ate low-carbohydrate diets that were high in vegetable sources of fat or protein had a 30 percent lower risk of heart disease, compared to women who ate high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets. (8) But women who ate low-carbohydrate diets that were high in animal fats or proteins did not have a reduced risk of heart disease.
Diabetes: Although proteins found in cow's milk have been implicated in the development of type 1 diabetes (formerly called juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes), ongoing research has yielded inconsistent results. (9) The amount of protein in the diet doesn't seem to adversely affect the development of type 2 diabetes (formerly called adult-onset diabetes), although research in this area is ongoing. A recent 20-year prospective study in women suggests that eating a low-carbohydrate diet that is high in vegetable sources of fat and protein may modestly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.(30)
Cancer: There's no good evidence that eating a little protein or a lot of it influences cancer risk. Eating a lot of red meat is linked to an increased risk of colon cancer, however, as is eating processed meat. (3)
Osteoporosis: Digesting protein releases acids that the body usually neutralizes with calcium and other buffering agents in the blood. Eating lots of protein, such as the amounts recommended in the so-called low-carb or no-carb diets, takes lots of calcium. Some of this may be pulled from bone. Following a high-protein diet for a few weeks probably won't have much effect on bone strength. Doing it for a long time, though, could weaken bone. In the Nurses' Health Study, for example, women who ate more than 95 grams of protein a day were 20 percent more likely to have broken a wrist over a 12-year period when compared with those who ate an average amount of protein (less than 68 grams a day). (10) But this area of research is still controversial, and findings have not been consistent. Some studies suggest increasing protein increases risk of fractures; others associate high-protein diets with increased bone -mineral density. The evidence is inconclusive, and more research is needed.
Protein and Weight Control
The notion that you could lose weight by cutting out carbohydrates and eating plenty of protein was once tut-tutted by the medical establishment, partly because such diets were based on little more than interesting ideas and speculation. In the past few years, head-to-head trials that pitted high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets against low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets have provided some evidence that a low-carbohydrate diet may help people lose weight more quickly than a low-fat diet, although so far, that evidence is short term.
In two short, head-to-head trials, low-carb approaches worked better than low-fat diets. (11, 12) A more-recent year-long study, published in 2007 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed the same thing. (13) In this study, overweight, premenopausal women went on one of four diets: Atkins, Zone, Ornish, or LEARN, a standard low-fat, moderately high-carbohydrate diet. The women in all four groups steadily lost weight for the first six months, with the most rapid weight loss occurring among the Atkins dieters. After that, most of the women started to regain weight. At the end of a year, it looked as though the women in the Atkins group had lost the most weight since the start of the study, about 10 pounds, compared with a loss of almost 6 pounds for the LEARN group, 5 pounds for the Ornish group, and 3½ pounds for the Zone group. Levels of harmful LDL, protective HDL, and other blood lipids were at least as good among women on the Atkins diet as those on the low-fat diet.
If you read the fine print of the study, though, it turns out that few of the women actually stuck with their assigned diets. Those on the Atkins diet were supposed to limit their carbohydrate intake to 50 grams a day, but they took in almost triple that amount. The Ornish dieters were supposed to limit their fat intake to under 10 percent of their daily calories, but they got about 30 percent from fat. There were similar deviations for the Zone and LEARN groups.
What about longer term studies? POUNDS LOST (Preventing Overweight Using Novel Dietary Strategies), a two-year head-to-head trial comparing different weight loss strategies found that low-carb, low-fat, and Mediterranean-style diets worked equally well in the long run, and that there was no speed advantage for one diet over another. (31) What this and other diet comparisons tell us is that sticking with a diet is more important than the diet itself.
Why, in some studies, do high-protein, low-carb diets seem to work more quickly than low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets, at least in the short run? First, chicken, beef, fish, beans, or other high-protein foods slow the movement of food from the stomach to the intestine. Slower stomach emptying means you feel full for longer and get hungrier later. Second, protein's gentle, steady effect on blood sugar avoids the quick, steep rise in blood sugar and just as quick hunger-bell-ringing fall that occurs after eating a rapidly digested carbohydrate, like white bread or baked potato. Third, the body uses more energy to digest protein than it does to digest fat or carbohydrate. (14)
No one knows the long-term effects of eating high-protein diets with little or no carbohydrates. Equally worrisome is the inclusion of unhealthy fats in some of these diets. There's no need to go overboard on protein and eat it to the exclusion of everything else. Avoiding fruits and whole grains means missing out on healthful fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients. It's also important to pay attention to what accompanies protein. Choosing plant-based high-protein foods that are low in saturated fat will help the heart even as it helps the waistline. (8)
Straight Talk about Soy
One protein source that has been getting a lot of attention is soybeans. We've been told that regularly eating soy-based foods lowers cholesterol, chills hot flashes, prevents breast and prostate cancer, aids weight loss, and wards off osteoporosis. Some of these benefits have been attributed to a unique characteristic of soybeans—their high concentration of isoflavones, a type of plant-made estrogen (phytoestrogen).
As is so often the case, some of the claims made for soy were based on preliminary evidence, while others go far beyond the available evidence. Back in 1999, the Food and Drug Administration let companies claim that foods containing soy protein "may reduce the risk of heart disease." (15) The claim was based on early research showing that soy protein lowered levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol. A number of solid studies done since then have tempered this finding, (16) as well as those regarding soy's effects on other conditions.
Heart disease: A 1995 meta-analysis of 38 controlled clinical trials showed that eating approximately 50 grams of soy protein a day in place of animal protein reduced total cholesterol levels by 9.3 percent, LDL cholesterol by 12.9 percent, and triglycerides by 10.5 percent. (17) Such reductions, if sustained over time, could have meant a 20 percent reduction in the risk of heart attack, stroke, or other forms of cardiovascular disease. An updated look at the soy story, which includes several strong studies published since 2000, isn't so bullish on soy and cholesterol. According to this comprehensive update of soy research by the American Heart Association's (AHA's) nutrition committee, eating 50 grams of soy a day lowers LDL only about 3 percent. (16) Keep in mind that 50 grams of soy protein is more than half the average person's daily protein requirement. It's the equivalent of 1½ pounds of tofu or eight 8-ounce glasses of soy milk a day.
All this doesn't mean you need to turn up your nose at tofu, tempeh, or soy milk, or ignore edamame (a fancy name for soybeans). The AHA committee says that even though soy protein itself has little direct effect on cholesterol, soy foods are good for the heart and blood vessels because they usually replace less healthful choices, like red meat, and because they deliver plenty of polyunsaturated fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and are low in saturated fat.
Hot flashes: Soy has also been investigated as a treatment for hot flashes and other problems that often accompany menopause. In theory, this makes sense. Soybeans are rich in phytoestrogens. In some tissues, these substances mimic the action of estrogen. So they could cool hot flashes by giving a woman an estrogen-like boost during a time of dwindling estrogen levels. Yet carefully controlled studies haven't found this to be the case, (18, 19) and the AHA committee concludes that soy hasn't been shown to ease hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause. (16)
Breast cancer: Phytoestrogens don't always mimic estrogens. In some tissues they actually block the action of estrogen. If such estrogen-blocking action occurs in the breast, then eating soy could, in theory, reduce the risk of breast cancer because estrogen stimulates the growth and multiplication of breast and breast cancer cells. But studies so far haven't provided a clear answer, with some showing a benefit and others showing no association between soy consumption and breast cancer. (16, 20–22) In fact, a handful of unsettling reports suggests that concentrated supplements of soy proteins may stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. (23, 24) Timing of soy intake may make a difference: The Shanghai Women's Health Study, for example, found that women with the highest soy protein intakes throughout adolescence and early adulthood had nearly a 60 percent lower risk of pre-menopausal breast cancer than women with the lowest intakes. (32)
Other cancers: Although substances in soy could conceivably protect against endometrial, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, and other cancers, there is no good evidence for this.
Memory and thinking ability: A few studies have raised the possibility that eating soy could help prevent the age-related loss of memory or decline in cognitive function. Recent trials have yielded contradictory results in this area, with one showing a benefit for soy, (25) and others showing no benefit. (26–28, 33) Other studies suggest that too much soy could lead to memory problems. Among older women of Japanese ancestry living in Hawaii, those who relied on the traditional soy-based diet were more likely to have cognitive problems than those who switched to a more Western diet. (29) This finding, which has yet to be confirmed by other long-term studies, could result from excessive intake of phytoestrogens or inadequate intake of something found in animal products, such as vitamin B-12.
Finally, there's no evidence that pills containing isoflavones extracted from soybeans offer benefits, and some studies raise concerns about harmful side effects. (16)
The Bottom Line: Recommendations for Protein Intake
- Pay attention to the protein package. You rarely eat straight protein. Some protein comes packaged with healthful fiber and micronutrients, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains. Some protein comes packaged with lots of unhealthy fat, like when you eat marbled beef or drink whole milk. Fish and poultry are the best choices for meat eaters; if you are partial to red meat, such as beef, pork or lamb, steer yourself toward the leanest cuts, and make it only an occasional part of your diet. If you like dairy products, skim or low-fat versions are healthier choices.
- Get a good mix of proteins. Almost any reasonable diet will give you enough protein each day. Eating a variety of foods will ensure that you get all of the amino acids you need.
- Balance carbohydrates and protein. Cutting back on highly processed carbohydrates and increasing protein intake improves levels of blood triglycerides and HDL, and so may reduce your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other form of cardiovascular disease. It may also make you feel full longer, and stave off hunger pangs.
- Eat soy in moderation. Soybeans, tofu, and other soy-based foods are an excellent alternative to red meat. In some cultures, tofu and soy foods are a protein staple, and we don't suggest any change. Butif you haven't grown up eating lots of soy, there's no reason to go overboard: Two to 4 servings a week is a good target; eating more than that likely won't offer any health benefits and we can't be sure that there is no harm.

Stanley Blue Devils 59, Bedford, N.H. Bulldogs 33 — Chazz Armstrong (four touchdowns, including opening kick-off, one extra point) had 108 yards on touchdown runs alone to lead Stanley in the Division II Junior Pee Wee fifth-place game at the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Orlando, Fla.
Tavin Johnson also had four touchdowns, three rushing and one on a pass from Logan Russell. Nick Gwynn (touchdown, two extra-point runs), Tanner McKinney (extra-point pass from Russell) and Jamario Springs (extra-point run) added to the Blue Devils' total. Gwynn (interception), Colin Covach, Christian Martin and Hunter Kendrick led Stanley on defense.
Stanley finished with an 11-1 record. Head coach John Rudisill announced he is stepping down after the game. Rudisill, a youth football coach with nearly 40 years of experience in Gaston County, helped guide the Blue Devils to national championships in 2002, 2009 and 2011. He also coached the Gastonia Little Orangemen to a national title in 1976.

Personally I'm not high on the conspiracy theories (A & B) either for the reasons you state, but the frustrating part to me is that a supposedly "minor" knee bruise from the beginning has sat him weeks & months at a time and the lack of transparency/accuracy with what is really going on with him. His presence would really bring this collection of guys together into a special squad, but he's still out after 5 scenarios of "He'll be back soon! ...J/K, six more weeks!!"
It's just a general impatience thing with me.

Jetty includes a servlet implementation of the Bayeux protocol of the CometD project from the Dojo Foundation.
CometD is a message bus for Ajax web applications that allows multi channel messaging between client and server - and more importantly - between server and client. The paradigm is publish/subscribe to named channels.
To run the demo:
cd contrib/cometd/demo mvn jetty:run
and point your browser at http://localhost:8080/cometd. There is the usual comet chat room demo, echo demo and time sync demo. All of them are implemented with dojo.
Using the jetty maven plugin may not work if you are running with jetty-6. In that case, start jetty from the command line as normal as the cometd demo will be deployed by default.
Echo demo prints data using RPC style messaging over cometd. Time sync, is just a test that uses the timesync extension to calculate a timeoffset with the server. The time displayed below is the server time and should be the same for all clients no matter what their local clocks are set to.
The jetty implementation has extra features beyond the protocol:
There is more information on the cometd.org website, but here's a few links to get you started:
Read the page on Stress Testing Cometd for more information on how to tune and scale jetty for Bayeux.

Forced to stand by and watch as Himari faces off against an onslaught of monsters ordered to attack by Tamamo-no-mae, Yuuto finally accepts his role as a demon slayer! But acceptance doesn't automatically make him good at it, and the young warrior must continue training to become master of his own potential.
During one such training session, Yuuto runs into another sleuth-like slayer, Hitsugi Yakouin. Will Yuuto learn a thing or two about using his own Light Ferry powers with his new ally's help? And will it be enough to stave off the threat of Tamamo-no-mae and Shuten-Douji against the peaceful spirits at a local resort?

Puredistance M
Boi Du Portugal
Whatever I happen to be wearing at any given time.
I bend buckets of 6" (60 Penny) nails for fun.
Strong! Like Bull!
Vintage Tabarome.
I have this feeling about L'Anarchiste. Also many frags from Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier do the trick (Santal Noble, Parfum d'Habit, Ambre Precieux). I could continue with Grey Flannel and Jubilation XXV.
Santos De Cartier Concentree
Hard work never killed anyone, but why risk it?
Try it and tell me you don't agree. This stuff says "I mean business."
Well, none, really
But i associate the idea of mean businessman to New York PDN. Or Chanel Pour Monsieur!
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
Most Amouage have the Powah
Oh god, how could I forget VC&Aph??? As bigsteve pointed it's indeed a power scent.
Cartier Declaration
Pure Havane
Nothing gives me anything like that feeling............if I had to answer though it would be Amouage Epic or Xerjoff Gao. Honorable mentions to Zhafar and BdP
For me, I feel most "powerful" when wearing:
1. Van Cleef & Arpel Pour Homme, my go-to business cologne (I love this cologne more and more)
2. GIT, my go-to everyday work cologne (lately)
and, surprisingly,
3. Dior Homme (original). I guess maybe it's an "I smell so pretty, and yet I'm going to crush you, little person" thing.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
GIT, cool water, polo modern reserve, french lover, chanel PE and Beckam homme are all 'power' scents from my current arsenal.
I get that feeling when i wear Mazzolari Lui under a wife beater.
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
Ok but seriously maybe Aventus or Invasion Barbare
Perfume is like cocktails without the hangover, like chocolate without the calories, like an affair without tears, like a vacation from which you never have to come back.
Scents along the lines (however, without being strictly limited to): Azzaro pour Homme, Aramis pour Homme, Van Cleef&Arpels pour Homme, Paco Rabanne pour Homme, Chanel Antaeus, Versace l'Homme, Quorum, Zino and Relax by Davidoff, Gucci Nobile, Fendi Uomo, Esencia Loewe and other fragrances comparable to the the aforementioned.
Leonard pour Homme (among others...)
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
Tobacco Vanille
Vintage PdN New York
Big leathers like Bandit, Rien, or Knize Ten.
Last edited by Partario; 27th December 2012 at 10:12 PM.
Narciso Rodriguez for Him has been created to give a signal of the position of power and authorization. A suitable scent for a fraud investigator, insurance inspector, headmaster, high priest, etc.
That rainy grey flowery violet opening set of notes is misleading, imo....
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
Amouage Homage Attar
amouage tribute attar
Amouage jubilation xxv
My Top 10
1. Amouage Homage Attar
2. Serge Lutens - Muscs Koublai Khan

5. Chanel Egoiste
6. 24 Gold by Scentstory
7. Amouage Epic Man

9. Bond No. 9 New York Oud
10. Serge Lutens - Chergui
"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
For me its Dior Homme and Chanel Antaeus
Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme suffers no fools.
Vetiver Extraordinaire(Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle) says "Stand back you lot...I'm going through!"
Chanel Egoiste
I'm selling internationally Opium homme EDP
Check out my selling list:
http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.46554...26386&pid=15.1 This stuff will put out a fire!
One Man Show by Jacques Bogart (1980)
Vintage Michael for Men by Michael Kors
GIT, royal oud, Aventus
Molecule 01
Anything amouage
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
If you have to explain to people that you are in charge, then you aren't. And that includes having your fragrance do the talking for you.
I would much prefer to gain power with a great idea and walk into a room smelling of "Gendarme" or "Molecule 01" than try to roar into a room on the fragrance equivalent of a souped up muscle car and try to convince the room that I am in charge because I smell bossy.
Overcompensation is always a danger with such things because it can signal weakness rather than strength.
Power is quiet because it can afford to be. Weakness is loud because it has to be. Babies cry for a reason.
If you've really got the goods to grab the power, go in quietly, politely, confidently, and that includes an elegant but subdued fragrance. Let everyone else talk first.
They'll never see it coming and they won't know what hit them.
I believe most of us know this already, but still choose to play along with the theme.
One Man Show Gold Edition must be added to the list.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....

Glad to see VanCleef & Arpels PH getting some commentary here. This is one of the best masculine scents ever conceived, IMO.
I would buy it even if it were 2 or 3 times the price it currently goes for.
Santos de Cartier Concentree +1
Ungaro III +1
Tuscan Leather. Look no further.
There are a lot of big leathers showing up in this thread. And those big leathers don't make me think "leader" or "knows what he's doing". They make me think of Burt Reynolds before he went grey, with a black shirt unbuttoned to just above his navel, and a chunky gold chain showing.
Nope, the Scent of Power for me would be a "Big Tobacco". Not some confection like Tobacco Vanille, which frankly is more Vanille that it is Tobacco. No, I mean a scent that smells like I've been squatting in a tobacconists for the last month. The only sweetness being the natural sweetness you get from some pouches of pipe tobacco. I've not found what one out there would give this effect, but I'm sure many of you have.
Azzaro Pour Homme and Polo ralph lauren Polo
Kouros but you need to use at least 15 spritzs on upper body and 7-10 spritzs on your legs and butt. (Do it just after taking a shower)
"You can look at a picture for a week an never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life." Joan Miro
Odin No.7 Tanoke, if only it lasted longer it would be my signature scent, but alas it is too short lived for its price.
Summer 2013 Top 10 :
1. Creed Aventus
2. Dior Homme Sport (2012)
3. L'Eau Bleue D'Issey
4. Bleu de Chanel
5. Acqua dio Gio Essenza
6. Strange Invisible Perfumes - Peloponnesian
7. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
8. Diesel Green Masculine
9. Terre d'Hermes
10. Guerlain Homme
for an enormous, powerful tobacco, there's the current formulation of Amouage Tribute.
Tuscan Leather
The scent of the clueless man that wants power, Joop! Homme Joop!
The scent of the man at peace with his power, either Antico Caruso or Santal Noble.
The scent of the man a little unsure of his power, GIT.
The scent of the obscenely powerful, any thing they damn well please. Amouage Gold, Clive Christian, Old Spice.
For tobacco powerhouses try Vermiel, or Davidoff if you can find it. Also Bogart Pour Homme is a super powered cherry tobacco, Cigar, Cigar Commander, Cuba Red, Tobacco Latino, Quorum, and of course Aramis Havana.

SkepticX said: "That would be a perfectionist fallacy."
Therefore, it must not be the case that accurate expression of thought is precluded via language. Therefore, the idea that divine revelation is not possible through language is also not the case. Therefore, it is possible that divine revelation is possible through scripture.

The death metal band "Nothnegal" is one of the newest exports of The Maldives having just returned from a hugely successful European tour involving 14 countries and 24 cities. They admit that their style of music is not everyone's cup of tea but the facts are they have an enormous fan base, they have signed a major record contract with "Season of Mist / EMI" (one of the largest in the business) and they even have their own entry in Wikipedia!
"As young Maldivians travelling abroad, we believe that it is the duty and responsibility to be an ambassador for your country. It is not just the role of our tourism board, businessmen and President to promote our country abroad, we should unite and all play our part" said lead singer Avo. "Whether we are addressing our concert audience, a team of businessmen in a management meeting or socilaising with fans in a café we never missed an opportunity to educate people about The Maldives" added Hilarl the lead guitarist.
Q? How did Nothnegal get to be invited on such a major European tour?
Nothnegal = "Our music and performances had been eagerly followed on the internet gaining a significant following on sites such as YouTube and MySpace since 2009. This allowed us to be invited to participate but more importantly the media platform allowed us to be viewed and heard by organizers in advance".
Q? What was the reaction when you told people you came from The Maldives?
Nothnegal = "This varied from country to country. In the core traditional markets such as France, UK, Germany, Italy and Switzerland they were aware of The Maldives and were pleasantly surprised that we had come so far to perform. In emerging markets such as Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, Holland and Austria they were totally unaware of The Maldives".
Q? How did you react to this?
Nothnegal = "We wasted no time to hand out brochures and promotional material. This was gratefully received. Unquestionably our memory will be their reaction when they saw photos of our beaches, water, islands and facilities for the first time. Most commented that they thought the photos had been artificially enhanced such was the beauty – of course we explained this was not the case. Amusingly, we had hundreds of offers for seasonal house swapping – literally every-one we met said they were determined to visit The Maldives as soon as possible".
Q What did you learn about The Maldives as a tourism destination whilst on tour?
Nothnegal = "That we live in a fantastic country and we are very lucky to call it home. To Europeans, any tropical paradise destination is always appealing. However, what we realized is that The Maldives is no ordinary tropical destination. It has an unrivalled unique natural pristine beauty and has to be one of the most sort after destinations to visit in the world".
Q Was there any other aspects of The Maldives you shared with the people you met?
Nothnegal = "Yes, explained that we were not just a beach and relaxation destination. The Maldives is a country of distinct culture, history and identity. The people too are like no other and we even have our own sense of humour (although we discovered that it was very close to that of the Irish). We also explained that we are a nation of great fisherman and we have also pledged to be carbon neutral by 2020. This was very warmly received".
Q What next for Nothnegal?
Nothnegal = We are currently working on finishing our next international album, "Decadence" which is due out in the early part of this year. This has been the culmination of a lot of hard work and also keen support from fellow Maldivian sponsors such as Le Cute and Dhiraagu. Again, an example that when Maldivians unite and support each other, any-thing is possible.
You can follow Nothnegal on Twitter and Facebook.

Help protect yourself and others from illness!
Most germs are harmless, but you can pick up some that cause illnesses when you forget to wash your hands.
Washing your hands, and washing them properly with soap and water, is the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs.
Spreading germs to others or giving them to ourselves happens when we touch our eyes, mouths, noses or wounds with unclean hands. Remember soap, water, friction and an adequate amount of time is what is needed to clean your hands.
How long to wash? The time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" is an adequate amount of time. Liquid alcohol-based hand sanitizers are a good substitute for washing when soap and water are not available. Remember: "Scrub well and Scrub often."
got consent? Only Yes means Yes
Sexual assault is any unwanted sexual contact that is coerced through threats or physical force, or any sexual contact that occurs while the victim is not able to give consent, such as while intoxicated.
To report a sexual assault, call any of these offices:
You have the right to report a sexual assault.
Sexual Assault and Harassment Procedures
There really is no such thing as "safe sex". Sexual activity of any type, eg. oral, vaginal, anal, genital-to-genital contact without penetration, can put you at risk for contracting an sexually transmitted disease or STI even if you wear a condom or use a dental dam. The terms STD or STI (sexually transmitted infection) can be used interchangeably. The only 100% way to protect yourself from becoming infected is to practice complete abstinence from all types of sexual activity.
Using condoms will help reduce your risk of contracting (or passing on) an STD. Condoms must be used correctly (know how to put one on!) and consistently (every time!) in order for them to be effective. Keep in mind that condoms are less effective in preventing diseases such as herpes and HPV, but they do reduce the risk of transmission.
Use a condom or a dental dam. Always. For any type of sex.
For additional information on Safer Sex go to www.albion.edu/shs and click on the Self-Care Guide, for testing options click on Sexually Transmitted Diseases on the left navigation bar. More questions? Call Student Health Services at x0220.

Philip Cambron usually spends Fridays working on multi-million dollar aircraft. This past Friday, he was working on a river roast sandwich with bacon at Our Town Café.
Cambron is a furloughed aircraft mechanic at Fleet Readiness Center East at Cherry Point, and the Havelock restaurant is offering discounts to workers on their furlough days.
"You can't really do too much about it, so just make the best of what you can," Cambron said of the furloughs. "The way I look at it, I've got a family, so it's an extra day that I get to spend with them."
With about 4,500 Cherry Point workers losing one day of pay a week through the end of September, Our Town Café on West Main Street and Crabby Patty's on East Main Street are offering discounts on meals to furloughed workers.
At Our Town, the workers get 20 percent off their meal on their furlough day.
"We were brain-storming last week and my friend's husband is furloughed on Fridays and we used to do Football Friday specials, and we decided to do Furlough Fridays. Friday is the big day that most of them are off," said Jennifer Rossi, owner of Our Town Café.
For those furloughed on Mondays, the same discount applies, Rossi said.
"What we're here to do is provide them with a service at a lesser cost," she said.
Cambron, an aircraft mechanic, is one of about 3,300 Fleet Readiness Center East workers facing furlough days. Another 1,100 civilian workers at Cherry Point are also affected. The furloughs, in response to government sequestration, do not impact active-duty military.
Cambron was in Our Town Café for lunch Friday with his wife Lorale and their two daughters, Emmaleigh and Madi.
"I think it's awesome that they're giving back to us," he said. "They're helping us out. The food is great. It's just awesome coming in and having someone that can support us and everything."
Patty Aswad, owner of Crabby Patty's in Havelock, also decided to institute a discount on Fridays with a $5.95 lunch special.
"We just figured that everybody could use help because they are being cut back like 20 percent on Fridays and not being able to work … ," she said.
Aswad said that she believed the furloughs and associated loss of income would impact Havelock.
"Havelock's a slow town to start with, so it will hurt the town, especially the restaurants because that's where they go when they come out of base at lunchtime, and if they're not on base to have lunch then the restaurants out here will suffer a little bit," she said. "So will the gas stations and other places."
Ron Perez, a General Dynamics Information Technology logistics worker, understands the impact that furloughs will have on some of the base workers.
"It's a tough time," said Perez, who was enjoying lunch Friday at Our Town. "I think a lot of us are trying to adjust to it, but it is part of the reality that we're living in right now. It's unfortunate, so we'll just try to make the most of it.
"Our Town seems to be rallying around that fact and trying to do what they can to support those folks. We're here to support Our Town because they are doing a great thing for the base and their furlough thing that they've got going on right now. It's a great thing for the community."
Originally, the furloughs were to be for 22 weeks, but that was cut to 11 weeks. Still, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel recently said that furloughs could happen again in 2014.
Rossi said FRC East employees had always been regulars at her business.
"We have quite a few that come over on a regular basis, so it helped," she said. "We have a very tight community, so every little bit counts."

Many times on VeteransŌĆÖ Day, there is no shortage of recognition for soldiers who fought in the two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam and even the first Gulf War.
For this VeteransŌĆÖ Day, West Point has had the privilege to honor soldiers who have sacrificed over the last decade, even in the last year.
On Friday, West Point honored the men and women of the 223rd as Veterans of the Year.
On Monday, Colonel Ron Powell spoke to the veterans, students and faculty during Oak Hill AcademyŌĆÖs VeteranŌĆÖs Day program, and Powell once again echoed the need to recognize the veterans who continue to make sacrifices for AmericaŌĆÖs freedom.
ŌĆ£Remember our current warriors who add to our such history every day,ŌĆØ Powell said during his address. ŌĆ£These citizen soldiers are not seeking personal gain or fame. They see something worthwhile, and they do something that makes this world a better place.ŌĆØ
Powell says that soldiers today have better technology and equipment than soldiers in the past had, but that does not sever the connection and the bond that all veterans have with one another.
ŌĆ£They never accept defeat, and they never leave a fallen comrade behind,ŌĆØ Powell said. ŌĆ£The uniform has changed but not the soldiers. All who have worn that uniform have an eternal thanks from the American people.ŌĆØ
Powell says that the greatest gift an average American can give to a veteran is to live their life enjoying AmericaŌĆÖs greatness, taking advantage of all our freedoms they fought for.
There are over 25 million veterans alive today, and the ones who were present at Oak Hill on Monday morning were honored by individual service branch, along with their families.

Download a PDF of this fact sheet here
A hysterosalpingogram or HSG is an x-ray procedure performed to determine whether the fallopian tubes are patent (open) and to see if the shape of the uterine cavity is normal. An HSG is an outpatient procedure that usually takes less than 30 minutes to perform. It is usually done after the menstral period has ended, but before ovulation, to prevent interference with an early pregnancy.
A woman is positioned under a fluoroscope (a real-time x-ray imager) on a table. The gynecologist or radiologist then examines her uterus and places a speculum in her vagina. Her cervix is cleaned, and a device (cannula) is placed into the opening of the cervix. The doctor then gently fills the uterus with a liquid containing iodine (contrast) through the cannula. The contrast then enters the tubes, outlines the length of the tubes, and spills out their ends if they are open. Also abnormalities within the uterine cavity may detected by the doctor observing the x-ray images. The HSG procedure is not designed to evaluate the ovaries or diagnose endometriosis. Frequently, side views of the uterus and tubes are obtained by having the woman change her position on the table. After the HSG, a woman can immediately resume normal activities, although some doctors ask that she refrain from intercourse for a few days.
An HSG usually causes mild or moderate uterine cramping for about five to ten minutes; however, some women may experience cramps for several hours. The symptoms can be greatly reduced by taking medications used for menstrual cramps. Women should be prepared to have a family member or friend drive them home after the procedure.
It is controversial whether this procedure enhances fertility. Some studies indicate a slight increase in fertility lasting about three months after a normal HSG. Most doctors perform the HSG only for diagnostic reasons.
An HSG is considered a very safe procedure. However, there is a set of recognized complications, some serious, which occur less than 1% of the time.
If your tubes are blocked your doctor will likely recommend either a surgical procedure to directly view the tubes (laparoscopy) or bypass the tubes and perform in vitro fertilization (IVF). This is a complex decision that should be discussed with your doctor.
Laparoscopy can also determine if tubes are open, using a procedure called chromopertuabation. An alternative procedure to evaluate tubal patency is a sonohysterosalpingogram. For this procedure, a catheter (narrow tube) is placed in the uterus through the vagina and saline and air are injected. In women that have open fallopian tubes, tiny air bubbles can be seen going through the fallopian tubes during the ultrasound. Nevertheless, HSG remains the most commonly performed procedure to evaluate tubal patency.

For this occasion, conservative youth groups such as Young America's Foundation and the College Republicans urge students to commemorate this day (which they mark as the start of "Freedom Week," thus including Veterans Day) by "celebrating victory over communism" through provocative flyer campaigns and activism projects

World Pneumonia Day
Over two million children die from pneumonia each year, accounting for almost 1 out of 5 children under-five deaths worldwide. Many of these deaths can be prevented with inexpensive antibiotic treatments for as little as $0.30. We should strive to prevent children under 5 from developing pneumonia in the first place, by giving vaccines, better nutrition and reducing risk factors.
Universal Children's Day
In 1954, the General Assembly recommended that all countries institute a Universal Children's Day, to be observed as a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women/ 16 Days Campaign
By resolution 54/134 of 17 December 1999, the General Assembly designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and invited governments, international organizations and NGOs to organize activities designated to raise public awareness about gender-based violence on that day. Women's activists have marked 25 November as a day against violence since 1981.

FOREST GROVE, Ore. An off-duty Hillsboro officer was arrested on attempted murder charges after police said he was involved in a domestic disturbance with his wife and a responding deputy got shot.
Deputies were called to Timothy Cannon's home in the 1000 block of 37th Avenue around 8:30 p.m. A standoff developed and shots were fired, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office. One deputy was wounded, along with the suspect, but neither of their injuries were life-threatening, authorities said.
One neighbor, who did not want to give their name, said they heard about 20 shots ring out. There was a whole bunch of gunfire right when we re leaving the church parking lot to go to a neighbor s house, she said.
Cannon, 46, of Forest Grove, was arrested and booked on several charges, including attempted aggravated murder. He was booked into the Washington County jail where he was being held in isolation because he's an officer.
Cannon has worked in the Hillsboro patrol division for the past 13 years, according to Lt. Michael Rouches with to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Police said they were trying to talk to Cannon about a domestic disturbance with his wife when the shooting took place.
Officers evacuated nearby homes and a church during the standoff as a safety precaution.
I came to the door and the police officer told me that we needed to evacuate our home, there was a shooter up the street with a shotgun and we needed to get out now, recalled neighbor Robin Forrer. He seemed very upset.
The wounded deputy was treated at Legacy Emmanuel Medical Center and released. His name has not been released.
Cannon's wife works for the Forest Grove Police Department as a high ranking administrator, but not an officer, according to Capt Mike Herb. She was not hurt in the incident and neither was the couple's 6-year-old daughter.
Herb said 5 officers were put on paid administrative leave following the shooting, which is police policy after this type of incident. He said that was about one quarter of the small Forest Grove Police Department.

Comments about Blackburn Flea 2.0 Rear Light:
I use the Flea on my MTB bike for commuting to and from work. It's very bright and I've had a lot of compliments on how bright it is. The different flashing and brightness modes are handy. The only downside is the Velcro strap used to mount it. I haven't had a problem yet, but I can see where it could get worn out quickly.

"That's pretty heavy. "I am the outcome of perception" would look cool on a t shirt but of course it doesn't mean anything. Without your body and brain and the energy passing through them in an open system, "you" are nothing."
Yeah see thats what this debate really comes down to. I recognize perception as its own thing in that it is distinctly different than matter and energy. You seem however to see perception as being identical to matter and energy while ignoring its actual occurance as being distinctly different.
I think it is more appropriate to say I am perception because it is true that our being requires must fundementally, perception to be occuring.
Take sleep for instance. Would you not say you do not exist during deep sleep? There is no perception, so there is no experience and therefore there is no you.
What you are calling perception is a function of matter and energy.
