UK tops European road safety league, but for how long?
Speed camera switch-offs may threaten recent KSI reductions say police
Next News
The Institute of Advanced Motorists, which, in addition to car drivers and motorcyclists, now embraces cyclists as members, this week claimed Britain has the safest roads in Europe.
As previously reported here on road.cc, 2222 people died on British roads in 2009, of whom 104 were cyclists, representing 4.6% of the total. Across the European Union, cyclists' deaths represent on average 6% of the total road fatalities according to the SafetyNet (2009) Pedestrians & Cyclists report, which was part-funded by the European Comission. So it could be argued that Britain is a safer than average place for cyclists.
However, in total there were 17,064 reported cycling casualties in Britain last year, the majority were slightly injured, but as well as the 104 killed another 2606 were seriously injured, representing a 6% rise on the 2008 figure. More than 80% of cyclists killed or seriously injured (KSI) last year were male, compared with around 60% of pedestrians and car occupants and 90% of motorcyclists.
While the diminution in both overall and cyclist death numbers is to be welcomed, voices are increasingly being raised expressing serious misgivings about cuts to road safety funding which is resulting in speed cameras being switched off.
On Thursday, Wiltshire switched off its entire speed camera network which was run by the Wiltshire and Swindon Safety Camera Partnership with the police providing the staff and Wiltshire Council and Swindon Borough Council providing the funding.
Road safety observers will be closely monitoring the figures for deaths and serious injuries on the roads in those parts of the UK where speed cameras have been switched off, while police forces have already expressed their disquiet about such moves.
The Association of Chief Police Officers' lead of roads policing, chief constable Mick Giannasi, said: "The police service believes that the use of safety cameras has been a cornerstone of the success in reducing death and injuries on our roads and many lives have been saved since the introduction of speed cameras.
"They are an effective way of making drivers reduce their speed and drive more safely while penalising those who don't.
"Keeping people safe on our roads requires a concerted campaign, based on a variety of tactics to prevent irresponsible people from causing death and injury. Safety cameras are a vital part of that campaign."
Comparing the percentage of cyclist fatalities of total road deaths across nations is utterly pointless unless it is normalised to cycle usage.
It may be that the UK has the fewest cyclist fatalities but if it also has the lowest proportion of trips made by bike then this may not make it the safest place to cycle.

this cream eyeshadow is super pretty and sparkly! i do not apply it with a brush just because i find that it can apply unevenly and patchy that way, use a concealer or a synthetic brush to help. its just an average champange color. the only reason i would not rebuy this is just because i have way too many of this color already from various brands and such. its a nice everyday staple color tho!

Love this product!! :) I've had my eye on it for awhile now, and recently a friend bought it for me as a gift!!
It is a light pink shimmer shade that is pretty sheer upon application. But if you wait for the first layer to dry, then you can apply the second, and get a little more pay-off. I got this more for an everyday, fast look. I just throw this on, with eyeliner, and mascara and I'm done! A good shadow that does not crease, lasts all day, and brightens up the eye area just enough! This is great for those who find other lighter shimmer shades that are perhaps more creamy/white to not be as flattering on your skin tone.

Ive been wanting to try their cream shadows for a while now & finally got one, this one. When i first put it on with my finger it looked like a shimmery mess but after i worked with it for a second or two & it set it looked fine. I wore this w/out a base & it lasted all day. Id try another color if i find one that catches my eye.

Champagney-pink color. Applies smoothly and lasts a long time after it dries - all day for me as long as I use an eyeshadow primer underneath. I apply it with Benefit's eye brush that's designed for these shadows to get a thin, even layer of color.
I am neutral to warm toned and pale and a lot of pink toned eyeshadows do not work for me at all but this one does, maybe because it leans neutral.
This looks great with black or dark brown liner for a simple, work appropriate eye look.

I have the mini-sized version of this, and it is so small! I can barely get a finger in the mouth of the pot. But that has nothing to do with the product, which is awesome. Benefit's cream shadows are my favorite - they really don't crease and look so pretty on. RSVP is a champagne-y color. It seems to show up pinkish on a lot of people, but not so much on me. It's a great simple wash of color that brightens up your eyes. I'll definitely get the full-size when I finish the mini.

Bought this in Debenhams sale a couple of months ago, a really good eyeshadow that adds a gorgeous shimmer to your eyes without looking overtly dolled up. Application is a bit tricky but if you use a brush and move it over in the pot then it should come out easier. Such a cute little pot too! I love how Benefit is so kitch and retro. A really lovely colour and the name is right, it doesn't crease. It cannot also be used as a base, I sometimes put sin over the top from UD to intensify the look. I think i got it for around �8 in the sale, and it was a good quality product worth that amount. It is in a really good quality glass container that is sturdy and looks expensive!

Like many others, I bought this in a small Benefit kit for $10. It was a great deal, and this product really grew on me!
I always just use this as a cream shadow, usually as just a wash of color or as a base. I think this color looks different on everyone, it really depends on your skin tone, because the product itself is pretty sheer. The color is rather shimmery, but I think it's gorgeous, especially if you pair it with a darker matte brown.
My favorite part of this product though is the fact that it really holds up. This really does not crease on me, and I don't even need primer underneath. Any shadows I use on top of it also stay!
I really love this product and would recommend it. Very versatile, you can use it for a natural look by itself, or add others and it can be quite dramatic :)

I love the color of this product, but it takes a lot to make it work for me. I have to wear this with a primer, then layer very thinly, letting dry 30 second or so between coats, then putting a powder eyeshadow on top.
This usually willl make it last all day, but this takes a lot of steps with a product that I had hoped to just swipe on and go. Other brands work better for me, like the Estee lauder shadow cremes, and the mac paint pots.
but i love this color so much, especially when applied with urban decay pp in sin, and layered with a shimmery gold/peachy eyeshadow on top, like eyeshadows from the croc palette by lorac, or stilla kitten.

This is a GREAT daywear shadow. When im in a hurry but still want my eye makeup to look nice and natural - this is what I use.
Its also great as a base to build on - but to be honest I love it on its own!
Blends so so well and it really doesnt crease.
Does exactly what it says on the tin!

I purchased this product in a mini kit from sephora for $10, the kit came with this along with a mini "stay dont stray" and a mini "erase paste". i have a review of STS up. R.S.V.P is a light shimmery color that looks gorgeous in the cute little pot. but when you blend it in on the lid, all opaque-ness disappears & you're stuck with a sheer sparkle on your lid... not cute! to get enough color on the lid for it to not be completely pointless,you need to go back for more like four times. not only is it sheer, but throughout the day it creases...even with a primer underneath. a product that claims to be creaseless, that creases...ironic, huh? :)

Weight compromises convenience. Because of the Chef'sChoice 679's glass body, it's easy to see how much water is in the jug, if the water is boiling and whether the kettle needs cleaning. However, it also makes this one of the heaviest electric models on the market at 4 pounds. High points include a clearly marked water gauge that includes liters and ounces, and a swivel base that's convenient for left- or right-handed users. According to editors at Good Housekeeping, the button that opens the lid is easy to press with the same hand grasping the handle.
Reliability offers peace of mind. The Chef'sChoice Cordless Electric Glass Kettle contains some plastic elements -- namely the spout and the sealant between the base and the glass -- and Amazon.com users complain that it gives off a plastic smell. According to ElectricCordlessWaterKettle.com, the smell dissipates after boiling eight or nine full pots of water. Other Amazon.com owners praise the kettle's automatic shut-off feature, which sounds a loud beep to let you know the water is ready. The 679 also features a cool-touch bottom so it won't burn your tabletop and boil-dry shut-off protection.

1. Good Housekeeping
Good Housekeeping lists 24 high-quality electric tea kettles, giving the Chef'sChoice Cordless Electric Glass Kettle Model 679 an A+ rating. Editors like its easy maneuverability and see-through jug-style construction that "takes the guesswork out of determining how much water's in the kettle or whether or not it has actually come to a boil." Products are put through rigorous laboratory testing for "performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use."

2. ElectricCordlessWaterKettle.com
This comprehensive review notes the Chef'sChoice 679's key features and drawbacks. Editors say that although the kettle is one of their favorite models on the market, its plastic spout leaves much to be desired. Testing methodology is explained only as being based on first- and second-hand experiences, but it's clear that this evaluation is based on personal use.

This teapot review site, which also offers tea recipes and information on the benefits of drinking tea, calls the Chef'sChoice 679 a "beautiful" kettle that heats water more quickly than a stove or microwave. However, it's unclear whether editors personally test the kettles in this review.

ISLANDERS ACQUIRE WISNIEWSKIRugged dman exactly what the team needed
8:30 pm: Garth Snow made a great trade Friday evening, acquiring James Wisniewski from the Anaheim Ducks for a conditional third round draft choice in 2011. Wisniewski, signed by Anaheim this afternoon to a one-year, $3.2 million contract, makes up for the loss of physicality in Andy Sutton and at a much younger age.
The 5-11, 200-pound defenseman is 26 and averaged more than 24 minutes of icetime with Anaheim last season. The Ducks have several young defenseman ready to make their club, while the Islanders had the need and the salary cap space. Wisniewski could become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
Read the last two paragraphs from this post of a week ago. Tonight, the Islanders are a much better hockey team because of Snow's acquisition of Wisniewski.
Your comments on the Wisniewski acquistion are welcomed.

You said you were having trouble with oatmeal. Were you eating it with dairy? How about a two week trial of taking all forms of dairy out of your diet and see what happens? Some of the symptoms you're describing could be caused by food intolerances You could also ask the doc to consider some testing for food intolerance issues. The big "4" foods that seem to cause the majority of problems are: gluten, dairy, eggs and soy, so it might be something to consider. There are a couple of labs that have fairly comprehensive testing panel that look at about 90 different foods, and at least one of them - Genova - now seems to be partially covered by several insurance plans.View Thread

I discovered yesterday that my horse (TB mare) has an open shoe boil (capped elbow) on her front left elbow. I've never dealt with this kind of wound before and I'm wondering how it will heal? The boil came out of nowhere and opened up on it's own. The opening is about 2" long and seems pretty deep. It's a large flap that looks like it should require stitches, but since the area moves so much I don't think that's an option. There was a lot of drainage but NO blood. Which makes me think it's not as deep as it looks....
I currently have her on antibiotics and I am flushing it daily with 2 solutions. There is already a nice improvement in the last 24 hours (less swelling, less lameness) it is still draining, and she seems much more comfortable. I am keeping her in her stall for a few days to stay out of the mud and hand walking her every day.
I am wondering how this will heal back together or if anyone has had a similar experience? I can't find any information on the internet - I'm scared she will have an open flap on her elbow for the rest of her life! Will this heal back together once the infection is gone? Is it normal for shoe boils to open up on their own?
Thank you for any help!! :)

Painted Wooden Stela of Neskhons, Queen of Pharaoh Pinezem II, Dynasty XXI. The deceased Queen adores Osiris
whose green skin suggests regeneration and rebirth. Petrie Museum
In speaking with the staff at the Petrie, it seems there has been some high level discussion at University College in recent
years about relocating the collections to more suitable quarters. It is not clear how serious these discussions have been.
In any case, it seems any such move would only involve transferring the Petrie to an existing building rather than creating
a custom designed space. Any transfer of the collection to a more suitable space could serve in the long term as a major revenue
generator for UCL and the Petrie itself, allowing for far more visitors daily, longer visiting hours and more amenities (there
are virtually none now).On the positive side, the Petrie does have a superb website, unsurpassed for research
purposes (http://petriecat.museums.ucl.ac.uk/search.aspx). This writer has utilized it many times in identifying or dating Egyptian antiquities offered by Clio Ancient Art. There
is also a very active "Friends" organization supporting the Petrie and offering guided scholarly tours to Egypt,
lectures, etc.In stark contrast, the Ashmolean's stunning collections of 40,000 Egyptian and Nubian antiquities
(and everything else, including Roman, Romano-British, Minoan, Greek and other antiquities, and European, Islamic and Asian
art and more) reside in what appears from street level to be a stately neo-classical structure completed in 1845 but both
extended upon and remodeled several times since then, including a major remodel of the antiquities collections in 2009. But
the collection's history is much older, based upon an initial gift of a collection of natural history "curiosities"
and antiquities donated by the Museum's namesake , Elias Ashmole, in 1683, becoming Britain's first public museum.Unlike the Petrie's Egyptian collections, much of the Ashmolean's Egyptian holdings were purchased in
Egypt during the heyday of the Grand Tour and Egyptian "antiquities tourism" of the 19th and early 20th Century.
The Ashmolean does boast the largest holding of Pre-Dynastic Egyptian antiquities in Europe, much of it acquired from excavations
by the Museum at Hierakanopolis between the 1880s and 1930s. There are also substantial Nubian (ancient Sudan) collections,
acquired during excavations starting in 1910, and Amerna Period antiquities. Interestingly, many objects from William Flinders
Petrie's excavations excavations in Egypt found their way to the Ashmolean, as the Museum helped fund his work.The Ancient Egypt and Nubia section of the Ashmolean occupies 6 spacious, well lit and custom designed galleries and displays
hundreds of thoughtfully chosen objects, as well as the only complete free standing Egyptian Pharaonic building in Britain.
Large polished red pottery guardian lion from royal tomb deposits at Hierakanopolis. Possibly 6th Dynasty.
Ashmolean Museum
Middle-Kingdom head of the crocodile god Sobek, Faiyum Oasis, the god's cult center. Ashmolean Museum
The Ashmolean also boasts great amenities, including cafes, gift shops offering high quality publications and many
other items, ample elevators and ease of access – all in stark contrast to the cramped, dark Petrie Museum. Clearly,
Oxford University, with great foresight, made expansion and improvement of the Ashmolean's collections, and ease of
access for the public, a high priority and spent generously on doing so.On the other hand, the Ashmolean's
online presence is less useful. While some very specific components of the collection are available in detail online, there
is no tool to allow a detailed search of every catalogued Egyptian antiquity in the collection, making it less practical than
the Petrie's online tools.Whatever the priorities of their parent institutions, and whatever the strengths
and weaknesses of each, both the Petrie and the Ashmolean's Egyptian collections are an absolute must for anyone with
a serious interest in ancient Egypt.

Iraq Oil Output Has Reached a 20-Year High, Shahristani Says
Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Iraqi crude oil production jumped to the highest level in at least 20 years, or more than 3 million barrels a day, said Hussain al-Shahristani, deputy prime minister for energy affairs.
Iraq's government, which takes complete control of the country this month after the withdrawal of U.S. military forces, will acquire unmanned drone aircraft to help protect pipelines and related energy facilities that have been frequent targets of sabotage, he said today in an interview in Baghdad.
He spoke hours after nine bombs exploded in the capital Baghdad, killing at least 57 people in attacks that underscored instability and divisions as the U.S. ends almost nine years of military presence in the country. Iraq holds the fifth-biggest natural-gas reserves in the Middle East and the world's fifth-largest crude deposits, according to BP Plc data that include Canadian oil sands.
"Iraq's crude production will rise to 3.4 million barrels a day by the end of next year, and exports will rise to 2.6 million barrels a day, including 175,000 barrels from fields in the northern Kurdish region, next year from a current average of 2.2 million barrels of oil a day," he said.
Iraq's first single-point mooring facility for oil tankers will begin operating in January, he said. A second unit will be in place within six months, a third one by the end of next year and a fourth in 2013, he said. Each of the four facilities will add 900,000 barrels a day of exporting capacity for crude oil, he said.
Exxon Mobil
The Iraqi government is "weighing measures" that may be taken against Exxon Mobil Corp. after it signed contracts the government considers illegal with authorities in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region, Shahristani said. "We will wait for Exxon Mobil's answer before taking a decision."
Exxon, which has not commented publicly on the matter, is operating with Royal Dutch Shell Plc in southern Iraq at the West Qurna field, one of the nation's biggest.
"The contract that Exxon Mobil has signed for the development of West Qurna Phase 1 commits the company to respect Iraqi laws and the regulations of the Oil Ministry," he said. "Any contract brokered to develop, explore or produce crude oil or gas in Iraq without the knowledge of the central government is considered null and the company cannot work on the basis of these kinds of contracts."
Oil Exports
The Baghdad government is entangled in a dispute with Kurdish regional authorities over crude revenue and refuses to recognize production-sharing agreements signed by the Kurds with foreign companies without its approval. The central government agreed in February to resume exports from the semi-autonomous region and has transferred two payments to foreign companies, including DNO International ASA, operating in the area. The companies have yet to receive a third payment.
Kurdistan is failing on its commitment to deliver 150,000 barrels a day, only shipping an average of 70,000 barrels a day to 80,000 barrels a day, Shahristani said. The Kurds have also failed to present a list of the wells and equipment in Kurdistan that the central government has agreed to pay for in the February accord that helped to resume crude exports from Kurdistan.
"We will not pay without receiving the list," he said. "Iraq is not committed to pay any company that did not sign an agreement with the Iraqi government."
Iraq has signed 15 gas and oil licenses since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted former President Saddam Hussein. The government needs foreign investment and expertise to boost energy exports and rebuild an economy shattered by years of conflict, sanctions and sabotage. The Kurds on their part signed contracts with more than 40 energy companies.

more silly little loving games
Artist and illustrator Moose Allain has curated a selection of happy, playful tweets in his Storified collection of games families play. He manages to incite and capture a wonderfully evocative dialog between himself and some of his fun-minded peeps sharing those silly little loving games that we, at the best of times, find ourselves playing with each other.
Here's a taste:
Yesterday we had a small party for our 7 year old boy. We played the game of Wyvern Eggs, which we made up last summer: I (the Wyvern) lie on my back on the lawn with my eyes shut while my children try to sneak up and steal my eggs (footballs). It is very enjoyable especially because small children are bad at things like hiding and sneaking up. They're much better at it now (7 & 8).
Moose Allain
Brilliant game! Our game: Two lines, all generations, walk towards each other chanting 'a bogus, a bogus', laugh and you're out. Played at in-laws 50th anniversary – from m-i-l's family. Start low, build to loud, then down, while creeping.
Alison Charlton
Our other family game is Weighing Down. This involves climbing onto your opponents back and trying to weigh them down. No sudden movements.
Moose Allain
Me and my 9yo boy play "creatures" he wakes my "sleeping" hand to wake the creatures, they tickle him until smoothed to sleep
Bob Nelmest
Me too. We have Strong Daddy, Puff Daddy, Cross Elephant, Can't Stop The Elephant (my dad played that with us as kids too).
Moose Allain
Ours are "pointy" "thumper" "the clutching claw" "pinchy ( in the worse places)" and "captain chin".
Bob Nelmes
Yes, indeed. "Puff Daddy" involves them blowing towards me and me making out I'm caught in a gale, can't get near them.
Moose Allain
That's great. My Dad played Dracula and chased us around the house with his false teeth hanging out. Terrifyingly brilliant.
I used to put on "In the Hall of the Mountain King" – perfect for a gradually speeded up chase round the house
we play "if I were a sandwich", when you take turns to choose a category & everyone says what kind they'd be
We also play Jellywobble. Where I lay on the floor in a doorway & the kids have to get through without me noticing. I have to pull them down onto the floor & tickle them shouting "Jellywobble". The 14yo son refuses to play now, sadly.
My middle son invented a game called Pap the Pap, which involved cards, dice & counters. One rule – only he could win it.
Midkid also invented "Dungleweaser" where his dad would wiggle a finger in a menacing fashion, chase him & tickle with it.
Whenever we got a toy that came in a box, Dad would make us play "orphans" and pretend we lived in the box.
Daisy Buchanan
I like virtual hide & seek. Think of somewhere, eg cutlery drawer in kitchen, other players have to guess where you are hiding.
Liz Lea
Sis & I used to play something similar called 'Hide the Thimble': 1 person imagined where they hid imaginary thimble. The other had to guess. I tried to get Dan to play it with me but apparently it is "ridiculous".
5 Comments
Marvelous! Thanks for sharing, Bernie. So many brilliant ideas!
One game to add: Turtle, Turtle
My son lays down on a soft surface (like a bean bag, couch, bed, etc…) on his belly. With (another) bean bag, we squish it over him calling out "Turtle! Turtle!". He giggles, and says it too.
He really does look like a turtle with his head and limbs sticking out from underneath it.
Love and laughter,
Simple games are so great. I particularly love that so many of these games have a physical component, where the players interact physically instead of just with words.

MASON'S CHAMPIONSHIP RUN: Mora slices, dices Bulldogs 'D' for 5 TDs
ARLINGTON — The smallest player on the field Thursday saved his biggest game for the game's biggest stage.
Dwarfed by the cavernous Cowboys Stadium, Mason's 5-foot-5 record-setting running back David Mora came up big to lead the Punchers to a 62-40 win over the Stamford Bulldogs to bring home the school's first state football championship.
After making headlines in 2010 with a 498-carry, 3,573-yard junior season, Mora still was a headliner in 2011, but the Punchers offense became more diverse under first-year head coach Kade Burns.
While his carries dipped to just more than 200 heading into the state championship game, his production improved to nearly 10 yards per carry as a senior.
His last game, however, looked much more like what he was used to as a junior.
Mora ended his Puncher career with a 41-carry, 258-yard, five-touchdown virtuoso performance that will forever be etched into the memories of Mason fans.
Behind his huge, experienced offensive line, Mora carved up the Stamford defense and forced the Bulldogs to stop the run.
They never could, and when they did overload the defense to shut down the stellar running back, the Punchers burned Stamford in other ways.
Stamford head coach Wayne Hutchinson said it is nearly impossible to shut down the vaunted Mason rushing attack.
"You aren't going to arm-tackle Mora," Hutchinson said. "You have to put eight in the box, sometimes nine and maybe even 10.
"That is probably the best offensive line we've faced all year long."
It ultimately came down to Mora, who touched the ball on 41 of Mason's 67 offensive plays.
Even though the Bulldogs knew what was coming, they couldn't stop it.
The Punchers followed their season-long blueprint nearly to perfection: Get the lead, keep the opposing offense off the field and run the ball.
On this day, however, with an explosive offense on the other side, Mason kept scoring, too.
That meant more of Mora — left, right and up the middle.
"I knew that at some point this would come," Mora said. "When I train, I expect to get it as many as 50 times. I knew there would come a time this season that coach was going to call on me to do that, and I was just ready for it."
Mora deflected credit to his offensive line — which returned all five starters this season — and fullback Rio Schmidt, whom he said "doesn't get enough credit."
Mora's final tally added to already impressive career numbers that place him among the best the state has ever seen — in any classification.
The senior's day left him with 262 carries, 2,766 yards and 54 touchdowns this season.
His 945 carries put him 13th all-time in that category, and his 7,642 rushing yards ranks him 14th in state history.
He trails the great Shaud Williams of Andrews (7,712 yards) and is ahead of Burkeville's Jeff Spikes (7,621).
Both those backs accomplished the feat over four seasons, while Mora didn't suit up for varsity until he was a sophomore.
Even though his statistics were gaudy as a junior, Mora said last year "didn't even compare" to this year, which ended with a gold medal draped around his neck.
"This was a team effort that was won by the whole team," Mora said. "It is awesome that I can enjoy it with all my teammates — kids that I have been playing with since I was little."
Mora left the game with 6:13 remaining after he reinjured an ankle that had been giving him problems for weeks. The injury apparently wasn't serious, but Mora said it hurt more than it ever had.
Fittingly, his final carry as a Puncher was a hard-nosed 6-yard touchdown up the gut.
"I didn't even realize it until coach told me," Mora said. "It was awesome to be able to go out like that — not only with a touchdown, but going out at Mason with a state championship and gold medal around my neck is just a great feeling."

Stage ready, fun to play, and a great value!
The guitars that make up the Seagull Coastline series represent one of the world's outstanding values in acoustic guitars. The back and sides of the Coastline series models are made from a three-layer lamination of wild cherry wood. With a sound that lands somewhere between the mellow tone of a mahogany guitar and the bright sound of maple, wild cherry has proven itself to be an excellent tone wood. Grown locally, wild cherry is also an ecologically friendly choice. Coastline series guitars feature very smooth necks made from Silver Leaf Maple.
The Godin EPM Quantum acoustic guitar system is simple in design and outstanding in performance. This single source system features an exceptionally responsive saddle transducer carefully matched to side mount electronics with rotary volume, bass, and treble controls. The electronics and controls are packaged in a small and easy to use format complemented with a finely crafted pewter cover plate. In combination with the transducer, the EQ control range and frequency content have been specifically contoured to provide a very rich and full sound reproduction resulting in performance seen only in far more complex systems.

Simple Detox Tips
Detox seems to have a plethora of meanings. For some, it signifies eating only organic foods or eliminating sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. For others, colon cleansing and liquid-only fasts are part of the regimen. Still, others detox by adding regular meditation or yoga to their schedules. Others still use packaged detox products. Whatever it means to you—and detoxification can mean all of these things and more—many experts think it's a practice well worth considering in today's toxin-rich world.
"The majority of people are dealing with a high 'body burden' of toxins," says Chris Spooner, ND, a research fellow at the Environmental Medicine Center of Excellence at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona. Spooner points to a study from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit environmental research organization headquartered in Washington, DC. EWG tested a group of nine healthy people for 167 toxic compounds and found the average number carried by each person was 91. Some of these toxins came from the individual's own metabolism—from poor digestion of food, for example—and some were due to exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, and other unhealthy environmental substances.
"When it comes to detoxification, the liver is the workhorse. Then there's the gut, the kidneys, the skin, and the breath," says Mark Hyman, author of several best selling book including "The Blood Sugar Solution." Detox supplements, according to Hyman, basically help all these organs and systems work efficiently to eliminate toxins.
Since the gut is so crucial to giving toxins the old heave-ho, it stands to reason that probiotics (Lactobacillus acid-ophilus, L. rhamnosis, and Bifidobacterium bifidum among them) can be useful. These "friendly" bacteria bring balance to our digestive system, thereby allowing it to work its detox magic. What's more, when you take them in combination with enough fiber in your diet, Hyman believes, they can produce anti-cancer compounds. Hyman recommends taking one capsule containing 5 to 10 billion organisms twice a day on an empty stomach.
"Ultimately, what you are trying to do with detoxification is stimulate the organs of elimination to process and remove toxins from the body," Spooner explains. You can support the body in the detoxification process in many ways—through herbal and nutritional supplementation, saunas, sweat lodges, hot baths and through dietary means. Whatever support methods you choose, the goal of detoxification is to open up these routes of elimination."
Many detox diets involve prolonged fasting, which can do more harm than good by slowing your metabolism, depleting your body of essential nutrients, and, ironically, recirculating toxins into your system, says Gaetano Morello, ND, a detox specialist in West Vancouver, British Columbia, and author of Whole Body Cleansing. Plus, many popular detox regimens, such as the Master Cleanse—a 10- to 20-day fast during which you subsist on a mix of lemon juice, maple syrup, and water—are so extreme that weight loss is nearly impossible to maintain once you go back to eating solid food. So far, no science shows that fasting or subsisting on liquids for any amount of time will scrub a lifetime's worth of toxins from your cells. "There's no such thing as a quick fix," says Patricia Fitzgerald, DOM, a homeopath and nutritionist in Santa Monica, California, and author of The Detox Solution. "The safest detox is lifestyle. By committing to a healthy diet, supporting your body's natural detoxifying systems with food and supplements, and reducing your exposure to harmful chemicals, you'll trim fat, boost energy, and lessen your body's toxic burden."
The human body detoxifies itself naturally in two stages, Phase I and II, which occur in the GI tract and liver. In Phase I, digestive enzymes convert toxins into forms that amino acids and glutathione can neutralize in Phase II, making them water soluble. At this point, the toxins get absorbed into bile and are transported out of the body. Morello likens the complex physiological process to working with oil-based paints. "You can't wash oil paint off with water," he explains. "You need to transform it and bind it and then get it off. The first step is taking the turpentine and binding it to the paint. The second step is taking the cloth and rubbing the paint off."
The two-phase process works well to remove some toxins, but our exposure to industrial compounds, environmental pollutants, and chemicals is at an all-time high, and our bodies need extra help getting rid of them. Toxins are in the foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the household products we touch, and have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and hormonal and fertility problems. "Every single cell is always detoxing," explains Fitzgerald. "The question is how efficiently?" To give your liver and GI tract some much-needed support, reduce your exposure to chemicals, clean up your diet, and work in cleansing supplements and therapies.
"In addition to supporting proper digestion, drinking water aids kidney function, speeds waste elimination, curbs hunger pangs, and facilitates the body's natural detox process by helping you sweat during exercise," says Elson M. Haas, MD, author of The New Detox Diet (Celestial Arts, 2004). Dehydration is also the main culprit behind daytime fatigue and headaches, and even mild dehydration can slow metabolism. Fitzgerald recommends drinking half your body weight, in ounces, every day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you'll need 75 ounces—or 9 1/2 cups of water daily. To make sure you're not taking in heavy metals and pesticides with your H20, check your tap-water purity at epa.gov/safewater, and buy a reverseosmosis filter if necessary.
Bile created in your liver flushes toxins through your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. But without enough soluble fiber to bind to the bile and excrete it, toxins reabsorb into the bloodstream. Beans, legumes, and fruit are excellent sources of soluble fiber, or supplement with 5 grams in capsule or powder form twice daily, Morello says.
Exercise is also beneficial in detoxification because "physical activity stimulates the release of toxins through your skin as you sweat," explains Fitzgerald. "Regular workouts can also reduce fat reserves throughout the body, where toxins are stored." Take a sauna or steam bath once or twice a week to help clear clogged pores so that chemical pollutants exit more efficiently through your skin.
Sleep is the ultimate restorative detox. Most people need between seven and a half and nine hours a night: Too much or too little may leave you lethargic. Prime yourself for quality z's by creating what Lipman calls an "electronic sundown." Shut off your computer, cell phone, TV, and radio at least two hours before bedtime to signal to your body it's time to sleep. And don't exercise within two hours of crawling between the sheets—endorphins released during physical activity may get you too hyped to fall asleep.
There are many cleansing and detoxification products that can assist in the detox process. Read the instructions, label, and regimen carefully to insure proper results. Combined with dietary changes, exercise, and proper hydration a detox can be like "spring cleaning" for your body.

On Wednesday, February 29, at 10:00 PM, the Science Channel will present its program, Prophets of Science Fiction, with my favorite science-fiction author, Robert Heinlein, as the subject of that evening's program. I will be in Florida, hopefully snoozing after a busy, busy day in the Epcot Center. But for anyone who is interested in learning about the role Robert Heinlein played in the development of science-fiction writing, this will be the program to see.
Robert Heinlein wrote many science-fiction short stories, at the beginning of his career, for magazines such as Amazing Stories, a pulp sci-fi magazine of the forties and fifties. He later switched to novels, of which he wrote 34, for which he received five Hugo award nominations, 4 more Hugo Awards, and the Nebula Award. These placed him solidly in the pantheon of science-fiction super-authors.
Anyway, I'll be gone, but if you want to know something about who I am, you would likely do well to watch this program. And then, hopefully, I can see it in a rerun.

Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.
So you know how Manti Te'o had an imaginary girlfriend? And that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo was behind the whole thing?
Apparently Tuiasosopo was also in love with him. But don't worry -- just like Te'o was "far from" gay, Tuiasosopo is also not gay. Because he's recovering from his homosexuality.
Way to be, dude.

German canon lawyer challenges 'church tax'
Catholic World News - May 06, 2010
A retired canon-law professor in Germany is testing that country's "church tax," asking the Vatican to rule that the system of taxation is not in keeping with Church law. Harmut Zapp says that the tax-- which is deducted from earnings for all Germans who are registered members of a religious congregation-- improperly involves the government in collecting alms from parishioners. Zapp says that he is a practicing Catholic, but objects to the involuntary form of the tax. As the system is now structured, Catholics can avoid the tax only by signing a form that indicates they no longer belong to the Church.

Best: Bros, bro!
Friendship-based wrestling is the best wrestling, forever and always. I know this is a big dumb set-up so James Storm can misunderstand the meaning of the word "bromance" and call Robbie E. and Jessie gay while Gunner titters in the background, because lol gay, but come on. Let's just take a minute to appreciate Robbie E and Jessie getting to be bros on television, and this time with Tara instead of Chavo.
Me too, Tara. Me too.
Obviously I am all over a bro tag-team. Kane and Daniel Bryan? You better believe I've got the t-shirt about hugging. Was there ever a time I was more emotionally distraught then when Green Ant and Fire Ant turned their back on Soldier Ant at Under the Hood? Well….yes, but it involved the complete and utter destruction of the company I loved the most. Am I completely obsessed with Uhaa Nation and Akira Tozawa listening to Motley Crue and doing flips, or just kind of in general? Well, yes, but you should be too. So as I said, let's all take a moment to appreciate the magical adventure we're about to embark on with these two getting more screen time together. Or watch Mad Blankey videos on YouTube. Either option is a good time waiting to happen.
Worst: James Storm is here, he thinks you're queer, and he thinks that's wrong so get used to it
Sorry about your damn homophobia, misunderstanding of common portmanteaus, and outdated notions of masculinity.
Worst: Three-Sux Mafia
And your newest member of the Main Event Mafia is….Samoa Joe!
Yes, that's right! The same Samoa Joe who did not come out to help Sting fight Bully Ray, leading him to form the Main Event Mafia. The same Samoa Joe who got his hand smashed with a baseball bat by Sting, the leader of the old Main Event Mafia. The same Samoa Joe who was jumped and beaten by the Main Event Mafia, only to eventually turn heel and join up with them. The same Samoa Joe who had to be paid to become a member of the Main Event Mafia, but then helped beat up Sting and oust him from the group so Kurt Angle could take over.
Real family – they always stick together.
Best, or at least what could have been the best: Suicide revealed!
I'm not going to shed a Frankie Teardrop over how good this could have been. Now that we all know it's Austin Aries (except Bald Ref, who I assume is still roaming the halls on his quest to deliver Hogan's message), come on, of course it was. During the show I was chatting with someone who had already seen it, and stopped the conversation to say "oh f*ck, it's Austin Aries, isn't it." That run, Austin. You can move your hands out to your sides as slowly as you want, but hoo boy you cannot disguise those teeny tiny stutter steps.
Regardless, the idea that Austin Aries would fight through the X-Division to become champ, and use that to propel him into a title shot against Bully Ray is brilliant. Thanks to TJ Perkins being dragged on stage despite the clear fact that he was about to shit himself, that story is a lot flimsier, and all he had to do was steal a costume and beat slow-as-molasses Kenny King. It's still compelling, and I'm looking forward to their title match, but goddamnit. You were so close, TNA. So close.
Tune in next week when Velvet Sky reveals that she's actually Old Man Withers from the amusement park, and James Storm learns that platonic love can exists between two men.
Yeah. And monkeys might fly out of my butt.
