In fact, that was the timeframe I gave hubs for having child #2. If #1 was diaper-free, one of us was making an appointment with some scissors. As it turns out, the stick turned pink literally one week before that appointment. Musta been meant to be.
Plus, I'm an older mommy...and the genetic numbers just don't look all that great after 35 and go through the roof after 40. Child #2 arrived two weeks before my 43rd birthday and that's more than enough reason to stop. Realistically, we both wanted a boy but that didn't happen so we're pleasantly content to raise two little cutie girls...and get our shotgun cleaning equipment out in another decade.
I call it a Job and a Joy. And my oh my how that one little (ending) letter makes a difference.
And...it all puts tennis in perspective. I love my girls; I love my time on court. If only for that 1.5 or 2 hours, I can be me -- the loud, aggressive tomboy. Instead of swimming in a sea of pink clothes, pocketbooks and nail polish (their choice, not mine, I assure you). But at the end of the match, win or lose, I've got a great family to go home to. And they will love me and hug me and kiss me no matter how sweaty, stinky, elated or disappointed I am.
More people should be like you. I realize that I'm entirely too selfish to have children, but I'm the best aunt in the world
I wish more people took parenting as seriously as you do, because I think it would make the world a better place. Kudos for doing what you do!

Respond to Review of Udupi Palace
by earthville
Review: Udupi Palace does pretty good dosas, vadas, and other South Indian staples. Their samosas are well above average. The staff have always been very warm and friendly. Whenever we've taken friends from India, most of them have been very pleased, with few disappointments. We would go more often if they used organic ingredients and made efforts to be eco-friendly. There are now so many more health-conscious vegan places in the East Bay that we rarely eat at those with a lower bar for healthful ingredients.
Posted by earthville on Friday, February 22, 2013
PS: though they aren't all vegan, they are quite vegan-friendly

2.0L engines may become low on engine coolant with no cause found for the coolant loss. Our technicians tell us than in some cases the engine block may require replacement due to porosity.
2006 Saab 9-3 Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified 2006 Saab 9-3 Problem Reports
The air blend system in the heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) system can have problems, which can cause the AC controls to be stiff, or a lack of HVAC control.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) and/or traction control light may illuminate. This can be caused by corrosion in the (ABS) wire harness connector at the right front wheel speed sensor due to water intrusion. Corroded connectors should be cleaned or replaced as necessary to correct this concern.
A high or low beam failure may be indicated on the instrument panel display even though the lamps are working properly. Our technicians tell us reprogramming the control module with upgraded software may remedy the problem.
Slow or sluggish gearshift operation may be noted on vehicles equipped with a six speed manual transmission. Our technicians remind us it is important to ensure the correct Saab approved gear oil is used. Also, Saab has revised the fill capacity from 3 liters to 2.4 liters to help address this concern.
Code C155037 (control module internal fault) may set in the steering control module due to low battery voltage. Our technicians recommend a complete inspection of the starting and charging systems before replacing the steering control module for this fault.
A higher than normal idle speed may result in harsh transmission engagement from park to drive and/or reverse. Our technicians tell us that adjustment and reprogramming the engine idle speed should resolve this issue.
A knocking noise while turning and/or a banging noise when driving on rough roads may develop in the front suspension. This type of noise is commonly caused by a front strut thrust bearing damaged due to water intrusion. Our technicians tell us revised thrust bearings are available to correct this concern.
If the engine will crank but not start, it may be the fuel pump has failed. Diagnosis may find no fuel pressure when attempting to start the engine.

Obama's Centrist Focus Gives GOP Ammo
By JENNIFER LOVEN Associated Press Writer
BUTTE, Mont. (AP) – Is Barack Obama close to being shadowed by giant flip-flops and, worse, having the image stick with people all the way to the voting booth?
Four years ago, Republicans branded as a "flip-flop" even the slightest rhetorical or policy change by John Kerry and sent huge replicas of the casual sandals to bob around the Massachusetts Democrat's events, feeding an image of him as a wishy-washy panderer.
Fair or not, Kerry never recovered and lost to President Bush.
It's now the Republican weapon of choice against Obama.
The Illinois senator has excited many with the notion that he is a new, transcendent type of politician. But he is giving the GOP effort ammunition and endangering his "Change We Can Believe In" motto with several shifts to the center, most recently on the Iraq war, his campaign's defining issue.
General election campaigns invariably find candidates fine- tuning what they said during rimaries.
When politicians compete against others in their party, they must appeal to the most partisan, who tend to make up the majority of enthusiastic voters at that stage. But general elections require a broader appeal, particularly to the vast center of the nation's electorate.
So it's not uncommon as spring fades and November approaches to see candidates de-emphasize or even cast off some of their most extreme positions in favor of policy more palatable to the middle. They mostly do it quietly, or try to anyway.
And though there can sometimes be criticism about shifting positions, voters usually forgive and forget.
He has been highlighting positions anathema to the left on several issues, though some have long been part of his policy.
On Iraq, Obama said Thursday that his upcoming trip there might lead him to refine his promise to quickly remove U.S. troops from the war.
He now supports broader authority for the government's eavesdropping program and legal immunity for telecommunications companies that participated in it, supporting the bill after some protections were added.
The GOP increasingly has sought to take advantage of any opportunity to permanently pin the flip-flopper label on Obama, with all its unappealing associations, and strip him of the shiny-new- penny one he's cultivated up to now.
"There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience," said Alex Conant, a spokesman for the national Republican Party.
It might be working. Despite disarray in Republican John McCain's camp, Bush's dismal approval ratings and just 17 percent of the public saying the nation is moving in the right direction, recent polls show Obama unable to build a solid lead over his GOP rival.

Architects: Jaime Bendersky Arquitectos
Location: Vitacura, Santiago, Chile
Area: 824 sqm
Year: 2008
Photographs: Pablo Henriquez Palma
Structures: Enzo Valladares
Electrical: Sergio Alemparte
Landscape: Karin Oetjen
Site Area: 6,074 sqm
The project arises from the combination of the geographical and topographical conditions of the site and a housing program with multiple social rooms.
The plot has a large front of 58 meters and is located along the southern slope of the foothills of Cerro Manquehue, with a steep slope of 79% and magnificent panoramic views of the valley of Santiago, articulated primarily by the Andes, the Mapocho river and the Cerro San Cristobal.
This conditioned a project with the recreational areas and expansions of the house in the front, avoiding contention for gardens and capturing sun from the north. A circulation axis capitalizes the length of the plot and allowed us to organize all the rooms oriented towards the views.
The double height entrance hall contains the vertical circulation and spatially relates the entire house, at the same time celebrating its views.

Public reception with Roger Bywater
Friday, February 27
Pop-up shop & reception, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Storefront, 224 20th Street West
Publisher Roger Bywater is the focus of the latest event in the Museums 3.0 program series. Through his imprints, Bywater Bros. and Smoke Room, Bywater publishes artists' books and editions by prominent national and international artists. He will be introducing his latest releases at The Storefront at 7 p.m., with a reception to follow. This free event is open to the public.
Roger Bywater holds an MFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, as well as a diploma in sculpture from the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver. Bywater has extensive experience as a curator, dealer, and publisher. During his eight years as director/curator at Art Metropole, Bywater edited numerous publications, while operating its Little Cockroach Press Series, and organizing exhibitions by Hans-Peter Feldmann, Martin Creed, Rodney Graham, and other artists. In 2001, Bywater established the Goodwater Gallery in Toronto with John Goodwin. During a four-year span, this private gallery functioned as a project room to present solo exhibitions by emerging and established artists, who created work specifically for the gallery. Bywater continues to work independently with artists on a project-to-project basis through his imprint, Bywater Bros. Editions, which publishes artists' books and editions from various artists working in Canada, the United States, and Europe.
In conversation: Meeka Walsh and Robert Enright
Saturday, March 7, 2015 at 1 p.m.
The gallery presents an informal conversation with editor Meeka Walsh and writer Robert Enright. Through their distinguished and ongoing work with Border Crossings magazine, the duo reflect on the role the publication has played in situating regional and national art within an international context.
Border Crossings magazine is one of the key platforms for the investigation of contemporary Canadian and international art and culture. Founded in 1977 by Robert Enright, this quarterly magazine is published in Winnipeg, and is responsible for bringing international attention to art production on the Prairies.
Meeka Walsh is an award-winning critic, writer, and curator who has been the editor of Border Crossings magazine since 1993. She has given papers and contributed catalogue essays in New York, Canada, England, and Mexico. Her short fiction has been published in a number of anthologies, including The Oxford Anthology of Canadian Women Writers. Walsh received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Western Magazine Awards in 2003 and in 2007 was given the RCA Gold Medal for her contribution to the arts.
Robert Enright holds the University Research Chair in Art Theory and Criticism at the University of Guelph and is the senior contributing editor for Border Crossings magazine. He has published more than 200 interviews with leading Canadian, American, and European artists. For his writing in Border Crossings, he has received 15 nominations at the National and Western Magazine Awards, winning four gold and two silver awards. Enright has also contributed interviews, essays and introductions to over 60 books and catalogues. In 2005 he was made a Member of the Order of Canada and in 2012 received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
About the Project
The Border Crossings Study Centre was developed by the magazine as a unique, mobile archive of the magazine's 32-year publishing history, and includes copies of each of the magazines to date. It is housed in a portable hybrid storage/reading unit designed by architects Neil Minuk (DIN), and Karen Shanski and Eduardo Aquino (spmb). The archive is made up of the magazines themselves and, where issues were no longer available, handmade facsimiles were produced by Canadian photographer Elaine Stocki. It provides a welcoming social space for readers to look at individual issues, refer to the extensive Index, and talk about the material in the 127 issues of the magazine.
Karen Tam, 鸕鶿飛 (Flying Cormorant Studio [For Lee Nam])
Watch a time lapse video of Karen Tam's installation process for 鸕鶿飛 (Flying Cormorant Studio [For Lee Nam]). This video represents seven days compressed into two minutes. Tam's installation is on view until September 14, 2014, part of Convoluted Beauty: In the Company of Emily Carr.
Karen Tam is a Canadian artist whose research focuses on the various forms of constructions and imaginations of seemingly opposing cultures and communities, expressed through installations in which she recreates spaces such as the Chinese restaurant, karaoke lounge, opium den, and other sites of cultural encounters. For Convoluted Beauty, Tam considers notions of cultural, political, and social exile in her imaginative reconstruction of the studio of Chinese Canadian artist Lee Nam, a friend of Emily Carr.
Artist talks with Raymond Boisjoly and Marianne Nicolson
Saturday, September 13 at 1 p.m.
The program connects two concurrent exhibitions, Sympathetic Magic, curated by Troy Gronsdahl, and Convoluted Beauty: In the Company of Emily Carr, curated by Lisa Baldissera. The curators will introduce the exhibitions followed by presentations from exhibiting artists Marianne Nicolson and Raymond Boisjoly.
Raymond Boisjoly (born in Langley, British Columbia, 1981) is an artist of Haida and Québécois descent, living and working in Vancouver. He completed his undergraduate studies at Emily Carr University of Art and Design and holds an MFA from University of British Columbia. Boisjoly's practice engages with issues of aboriginality, language as cultural practice, and the experiential aspects of materiality. He has presented work in solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the United States including exhibitions at Simon Fraser University, Catriona Jeffries Gallery, and The Contemporary Art Gallery, all in Vancouver; The Power Plant, Toronto; Carleton University Art Gallery, Ottawa; Platform centre for photographic and digital arts, Winnipeg; and Western Bridge, Seattle. Boisjoly is participating in SITE Santa Fe, and La Biennale de Montréal. This fall, Boisjoly will serve as Lead Faculty for "In Kind" Negotiations, a thematic residency at the Banff Centre.
Marianne Nicolson ('Tayagila'ogwa) (born in Comox, British Columbia, 1969) is an artist of Scottish and Dzwada'enuxw First Nations descent. The Dzwada'enuxw people are a member tribe of the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Nicolson's artistic training encompasses traditional Kwakwaka'wakw forms and culture as well as Western European-based art practices. Her work engages with issues of Aboriginal histories, politics, and language, arising from a passionate involvement in cultural revitalization and sustainability. Nicolson completed a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Vancouver, in 1996, followed by studies at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, where she received an MFA (1999), a Master's in Linguistics and Anthropology (2005), and a PhD in Linguistics, Anthropology, and History (2013). Nicolson has exhibited paintings, photographs, and installation works locally, nationally, and internationally. Recent exhibitions include the 17th Biennale of Sydney (2010) and the nationally touring group exhibition Beat Nation, organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery (2012). Her solo shows and installations include The Return of Abundance (Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, 2007) and The House of Ghosts (Vancouver Art Gallery, 2008).

I am working on windows machine and I use bash shell which comes with git. But there are many utilities which are missing in this version of bash shell.
How can I install more commands on this shell.
Thanks In Advance.
There are two versions of Git that you are likely to be using - the msysgit distribution or Cygwin.
Installing Additional Utilities For Cygwin
Although you might have only installed Git as a part of your Cygwin install (if you used Cygwin), Cygwin has a program called setup.exe which you can use to add packages. Essentially, all you have to do is run
Cygwin's installer is smart enough to figure out that you have a preexisting installation, and it will add packages to your installation (instead of nuking it and starting over).
The other version of Git you are probably using (if not Cygwin) is msysgit. Because msysgit installs a minimal Unix environment which is not really compatible with MinGW, you'll end up having to install the MinGW suite beside msysgit. The MinGW Getting Started page gives a detailed overview on how to go about getting MinGW installed - since I have no experience with MinGW personally, all I can really do is refer you to their instructions.
You'll then have to migrate your msysgit installation into MinGW. This can be accomplished by doing the following (taken from here). After the following sequence is done, MinGW should find your Git installation.

With just a day left for the Railway Budget, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley targetted the Congress for the inflation that has been plaguing the nation, and for putting the government in a tight fix as numerous 'bitter pills' of price rise from the Modi government make the common masses fume with anger.
Jaitley blamed the UPA government and its policies for the tattered condition of economy and the dilapidated condition of the Indian railways. This can arguably be blamed on the Congress, which looked at a more 'populist policy watch' and hence refrained from price hike from an elections point of view. While this can be agreed upon, it was the BJP that brought in the decision of price hike eventually to cover the losses mounted on the railways and to generate funds for other plans (bullet trains, smart cities, etc).
What does he mean?
If we understand his context, Jaitley is clearly displacing all the blame from Narendra Modi and the BJP to the UPA's tattered tenure, where the party tried feasible politics to please voter groups. In economics, it's clearly simple math. If we do not plan and generate funds, development is a long run dream. The overall break-down of the price hike could have been much better had the Congress tried breaking even and not attempting to please everyone.
In this instance, Jaitley held the previous Congress-led UPA government solely responsible for the price rise, saying the party which brought the economy to this state now wanted to put the blame on someone else today. "Even we are concerned about price rise, and hence, we had no hesitation in discussing the issue in Parliament. What surprises me is that the party which brought the economy to this state, wants to put the blame on someone else today," said Jaitley in the Rajya Sabha meeting.
However, as a bone of contention, it can easily be recalled that the BJP, in the position of Opposition, had always attacked the Congress when there was a price rise. The constant 'dharnas' and attacks were highly sensational, and the BJP sold itself as the one-stop solution for everything that was wrong with the Congress.
"I promise that I will leave no stone unturned to accomplish what is being promised, I promise I will never do anything for myself, I will never be vindictive," Narendra Modi had said while promising fulfillment of the said promises.
For complete budget coverage, visit Budget 2014
The hidden context:
While blaming the Congress, Jaitley managed to take the entire blame away from the BJP for price rise as something that would have eventually happened. With statements like, "The BJP has no honeymoon period," by Narendra Modi, it is clear that the Modi government has been trying hard to work out a methodology to streamline cabinet and decision making processes.
The budget is a litmus test for the BJP to achieve a perfect symbiosis between public appeasement and rewriting India's growth story. If and when the government is able to achieve this is still a debatable topic, but the developments will be interesting to watch. Various rating agencies and experts have been pegging the budget to have hardly anything different from the previous ones as the time allotted to Jaitley for preparing the budget was minimal post Lok Sabha elections.
Also, even if Jaitley blames the Congress, the BJP needs to take a realistic approach to the budget. With railways facing a cash crunch up to Rs 26,000 crore, projects such as bullet trains, which were part of Narendra Modi's manifesto, need funds that will have to come from the masses. Besides, India's Current Account Deficit (CAD) is not showing any great signs of growth nor is inflation subsiding. Add to it, the El Nino predictions and the economy is set for a difficult phase.
Other aspects of Jaitley's statement:
"What is the basis to say that we are responsible for price rise. Our policies have not yet been implemented," Jaitley had further added while defending his party.
Asserting that inflation has risen to unprecedented levels under the stewardship of the BJP-led Government, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad had earlier in the day said prices were never so high when the UPA regime was in office between 2004 and 2014. "If the UPA raised prices, it was done gradually. But, in the last one-and-a-half months, prices have skyrocketed," said Azad during a Budget Session intervention in the Rajya Sabha. "Prices are rising all over India. The prices of diesel, cooking gas have gone up. Diesel affects other commodities. Food inflation has gone from 8% to 9.5% in just a month and half. Rice, eggs, tomatoes, milk, dals, coconut everything is costing more," he added.
The 42-day-long Budget Session of Parliament began on Monday and will have 28 sittings. During this period, Railway Minister Sadanand Gowda and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will present the Narendra Modi-led NDA government's first Railway and General Budgets on July 8 and July 10 respectively.
The Economic Survey will be released on July 9. The session will end on August 14.
Does market performance indicate a positive budget?
The benchmark Sensex created history on Monday by closing above the 26,000 mark for the first time on hopes of growth-oriented policy announcements in the maiden Budget of the Narendra Modi government. Besides, a rally in technology stocks, led by Infosys, which will kick-start the earnings season for the April-June quarter later this week, also buoyed the sentiments, traders said. The 30-share BSE index after commencing the session above the historic 26,000 mark, climbed to touch a new intra-day record high high of 26,123.55. It finally settled 138.02 points, or 0.53% higher, at a new closing peak of 26,100.08.
So, the question that arises is whether the rallying stocks mean positive budget? For the economy, this may be a green signal, but for the social services sector and projects such as MNREGA, we cannot say the same. The final verdict of the budget is tomorrow.

Super soft hoodie, is thick and comfy. However, I ordered an adult small for my daughter and it fits perfectly, typically she almost drowns in an adult small. However, it fits, it is cozy and super soft inside. We would recommend ordering one size larger on this one!
No complaints this is a quality sweatshirt. Held its shape after it was washed and it did not get pilly.
nice item.
Daughter wears it all the time.
This was purchased for my granddaughter who is on a swim team. The quality is great, not cheap & thin like some. Cost may be a little high on this particular sweatshirt but overall, I'd recommend it.
Loved the blue color and sent it immediately off to my Granddaughter. She swims at the YWCA so she can wear it home after the swim.
We thought this was a youth size but it was an adult size. My child loves it!
IT is a good product for a swimmer. However the sizes arent well specified to order the correct size. You should seperate adults and youth and be specific. My daughter is tall for a 11 years. But just giving small, medium and large is not sufficient. What we ordered was way too big. This item will be returned.
I was very pleased with the sweatshirt I purchased for my neice for her birthday. The material weight was just right. Well worth the money. My neice loved it too!

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software is used in the conversion of handwritten or printed and scanned images onto your PC and transform it into a formatted text file that is readable. The document is thoroughly analysed by OCR software, which singles out any images or writing in the document. There are many great apps as well that can be handy for mobile users
It also tracks and records the characteristic features of particular characters and letters. The software is occasionally available with a spell-checker, which picks out words that it fails to understand. Of course, 100% accuracy is something which cannot be achieved. However, the software is worth using since it saves you a lot of time from having to build the entire process.
Below is a list of the 6 best free OCR software which can convert text from newspapers, books and scanned files or from images taken from your mobile phones into editable words and text files.
1. FreeOCR
FreeOCR is a free Optical Character Recognition tool and uses the latest Tesseract OCR engine-the most powerful engine for this type of software. It's regarded as one of the most precise OCR engines currently. It supports multi image files and TIFF files of multiple pages. This service can be used to extract text from a supplied image. Moreover, it's free of cost.
The Tesseract engine was initially developed by Hewlett Packard Labs between 1985-1994. Some changes were made to it in 1996. In 1995, it featured in the top three OCR engines. It supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
FreeOCR can handle images having multi-column text. It supports the following languages-Czech, Catalan, Bulgarian, English, Dutch, Danish, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese among others. It handles PDF formats and supports TWAIN devices, such as scanners.
Free OCR has the widely popular double window interface with the settings being easily comprehensible.
2. Free OCR to Word
Free OCR to word is a software that can recognize the entered text and can save you a lot of time without the requirement to re-type the work which is already written. The software takes a document, scanned item or image and convert it into a readable, editable and precise Word document. OCR can be downloaded to Word for free. It also permits for zooming along with specification of the portion of an image you require.
OCR to word is optimized to function with any type of scanner and has an accuracy rating of 98%. It has a modern interface which permits to access all tasks in an easy manner. It has rotation functions in case the image does not fit on to the screen correctly.
The software extracts text from captured images with smartphones or digital cameras with a great deal of accuracy and high-quality. The time has come to put an end to retyping-simply scan an OCR.
It's 100% free and totally safe to be installed on your system, and has an uninstaller. You can remove Free OCR to Word from your system within seconds if you don't require it any more.
3. Cuneiform Open OCR
Cuneiform Open OCR was developed by Cognitive Technologies as a OCR solution for commercial use. However, it was released as a freeware eventually. It has an unpolished interface-however, underneath is a great OCR engine. Algorithms used in this software stem from the rules associated to writing letters and do not need pattern recognition learning. It can identify any print font-those that are scanned from magazines, newspapers, books, dot-matrix printer output, typewriter text and laser printer output to name a few.
Cuneiform does not recognize handwritten or even pseudo-handwritten text. It also fails to identify decorative fonts like Gothic. It can save text formatting and identifies complex tables. The software supports text in the following languages-Bulgarian, Czech, Croatian, English, Swedish, Ukrainian etc. It saves identified text in the following formats-HTML, RTF or plain text.
This is a great program started by Cognitive Technologies to make OCR available for almost all users. The software giant plans to work on a new version of the software as a co-ordinator and investor of the project.
4. Simple OCR
SimpleOCR is a popular OCR software that is free to use and has countless users worldwide. A majority of OCR software have a complicated interface and this is why many users tend to avoid using them. Contrastingly, SimpleOCR makes almost all tasks easy on account of its user-friendly interface and forthright functions. It supports a majority of Window versions and runs smoothly even on hardware which is considered obsolete.
Downloading the software and installing it on your system is a pretty easy task. It tries to recognize text that is handwritten or printed. You can select any of these recognition modes from the window which shows up right after the program is launched. It has a compact user interface and hardly slows down. Text can be imported from a file, .ink file or a scanner. The scanned image appears on the main interface area after you preview it. If you require only a part of the text, simply highlight it after which you just need to click and drag over it.
SimpleOCR is the perfect tool if you want to extract text from a document that is scanned.
5. Google Docs
When you upload a scanned PDF or an image to Google Docs, find the option which says-Convert text to Google Docs format. Click on it and Google Docs will perform OCR on the chosen file after which it saves it to your account. If the operation turns out to be successful, the text that is extracted will be stored as a new document. If not, the software will store the original image without making any changes.
Google Docs can allow you to perform OCR on PDFs and images as big as 2MB. Also, the text recognition precision is appreciable and there are no restrictions on the amount of files you wish to get processed everyday. However, it can't retain the initial formatting of your document. With images of low-resolution, the OCR engine very often fails.
It' s free to use but businesses need to pay at least $5 per month to access this service.
6. FreeOCR
FreeOCR is a free Optical Character Recognition Software for Windows and supports scanning from most Twain scanners and can also open most scanned PDF's and multi page Tiff images as well as popular image file formats. FreeOCR outputs plain text and can export directly to Microsoft Word format.

Tricks of the Trade
Glutathione injections—are they good and safe for you?
I'm an avid reader of your beauty column. Your beauty advice interests me a lot and so I want to hear your opinion about glutathione injections. Do you think it's safe despite the news that it has several adverse effects? I know a lot of people still use glutathione injection as part of their beauty practice. What's your take on this?
As common as glutathione products have become, apparently there is still so much we don't know about it. I'm not quite sure what news you've been hearing regarding its adverse effects, but I know there have been a lot of naysayers about the product.
Powerful antioxidant
Glutathione is generally very good for us. Our body actually produces it (and doesn't seem to make enough of it), and we need it to fight off toxins and free radicals. Doctors have claimed it to be one of the most powerful antioxidants, allowing us to stay healthy, ward off diseases and even inhibit aging.
It protects the body by capturing all the bad elements that make us sick and flushing them out. Aside from that, it has been known to prevent heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, autism, liver problems and dementia.
Now, after reading all these great things about glutathione, how did it get such a bad rap? Well, it may have something to do with its entry into the beauty market. The explosion of "glutha" products made it available in every form, shape and size, with prices ranging from moderate to very affordable. Soon enough, people started to question the efficacy of the product, and stories about its negative effects began to surface.
I asked my dermatologist, Dr. Ellaine Eusebio-Galvez, about it, and she told me it most likely originated from fake glutathione products that have been going around. It was hard to grasp the idea of something fake going inside your body. These, of course, didn't deliver the promised effects, and worse, might have had strong and adverse reactions on its users.
Whiter skin
When it comes to glutathione injections, as much as it may seem like an extreme thing to do in the name of beauty, it is good for you. This is based on experience, as I initially started the treatment as a means to get whiter skin. What I realized, though, was that its effects on my body and health far outweighed my cosmetic aspirations.
Yes, if you have yourself injected with a high dose of glutathione twice weekly, your skin will become white. It is really one of its effects. But when I started taking smaller doses with longer days in-between injections, my skin didn't get so eerily pale, but instead had a rosy glow to it. My skin was clear, my immune system was up, and I felt stronger and healthier.
If you ask my opinion, I say glutathione is good for you. But be wary about where you buy it and where you have treatments or injections done. Also, no matter how good the product is, it should not be abused or taken in heavy doses.

Militants storm Afghan gov't building; 5 dead
KABUL, Afghanistan Gunmen wearing police uniforms and suicide vests stormed a government building in eastern Afghanistan early Sunday, starting a running shootout with Afghan security forces who surrounded the compound, officials said. At least five people were killed in ongoing fighting.
The attack came a day after a Taliban suicide bomber infiltrated the capital's main military hospital and killed at least six Afghan medical students. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack in Khost province in a text message to The Associated Press.
In Sunday's incident, four men armed with assault rifles and wearing explosives drove shortly before dawn into a compound that houses the provincial traffic department on the edge of Khost city, said provincial Police Chief Gen. Abdul Hakim Ishaqzai. Security forces stopped the men, who were wearing uniforms of the Afghan border police, only after becoming suspicious of the civilian station wagon they drove, he said.
Guards opened fire on the attackers, but the men were able to kill a police officer and occupy the upper floors of the building, Ishaqzai said. The attackers shot down on Afghan security forces from their vantage point as a fire raged through the structure.
Two of the attackers' suicide vests exploded during the fighting, though it was unclear whether they triggered the bombs or bullets caused them to detonate, Ishaqzai said. Security forces shot a third attacker to death, he said. Explosives found inside the attackers' station wagon were defused.
The police chief said the men could have been stopped before taking the building had a guard's Hungarian-made assault rifle not jammed. The U.S. has provided Afghan police with some of those weapons.
Three police officers, one Afghan soldier and a civilian were killed in the attack, Ishaqzai said. Five police officers and one civilian were wounded.
The gunbattle was still going on more than six hours later with the remaining gunman.
Meanwhile, U.S. forces in southern Afghanistan shot a governor's spokesman in the foot Sunday as he arrived to work. Spokesman Zalmai Ayubi leaned on a cane as he spoke with reporters, his left foot bandaged.
Ayubi said U.S. forces shot him as he arrived at the gate of the Kandahar governor's office for no reason. In a statement to the AP, NATO forces confirmed the shooting, saying Ayubi had grappled with a guard as he "attempted to physically bypass security" at the office.
"In the ensuing altercation, the U.S. soldier's rifle was discharged, hitting the spokesman in the foot," NATO said.
NATO said an investigation into the shooting had begun.
Also Sunday, two women were killed and five other people wounded when a roadside bomb exploded in the southern province of Zabul, the Afghan Interior Ministry said. Another roadside bomb exploded overnight in Kandahar city, killing one police officer and wounding three others, police said.
Sunday's attacks come after a Taliban suicide bomber on a mission to target foreign-run medical teams killed at least six Afghan medical students and wounded 23 others after infiltrating Kabul's main military hospital, officials said.

Progressive-era "poverty warriors" cast poverty in America as a problem of unemployment, low wages, labor exploitation, and political disfranchisement. In the 1990s, policy specialists made "dependency" the issue and crafted incentives to get people off welfare. Poverty Knowledge gives the first comprehensive historical account of the thinking behind these very different views of "the poverty problem," in a century-spanning inquiry into the politics, institutions, ideologies, and social science that shaped poverty research and policy.
Alice O'Connor chronicles a transformation in the study of poverty, from a reform-minded inquiry into the political economy of industrial capitalism to a detached, highly technical analysis of the demographic and behavioral characteristics of the poor. Along the way, she uncovers the origins of several controversial concepts, including the "culture of poverty" and the "underclass." She shows how such notions emerged not only from trends within the social sciences, but from the central preoccupations of twentieth-century American liberalism: economic growth, the Cold War against communism, the changing fortunes of the welfare state, and the enduring racial divide.
The book details important changes in the politics and organization as well as the substance of poverty knowledge. Tracing the genesis of a still-thriving poverty research industry from its roots in the War on Poverty, it demonstrates how research agendas were subsequently influenced by an emerging obsession with welfare reform. Over the course of the twentieth century, O'Connor shows, the study of poverty became more about altering individual behavior and less about addressing structural inequality. The consequences of this steady narrowing of focus came to the fore in the 1990s, when the nation's leading poverty experts helped to end "welfare as we know it." O'Connor shows just how far they had traveled from their field's original aims.
