The Seattle-based manufacturer said it would reduce employment from its high of 238,000 people in June by 38,000 by the end of 1999 and another 10,000 in 2000. The cuts amount to a 20 per cent reduction in Boeing's workforce.
The company said it would reduce production of 747 jetliners from 3.5 to two planes per month late next year, and to just one per month in 2000 if market conditions fail to improve.
Domestic and international air traffic growth in many Asian markets has dropped significantly since the economic crisis hit, with most airlines reporting operating losses or significantly reduced profits. As a result, several customers have requested deliveries be deferred, Boeing said in a statement.

$10 billion (£5.09 billion).
Xstrata has built an 8% stake in the company and is offering £33 a share in cash, a premium of some 42%.
Swiss-based Xstrata, the world's leading energy-coal producer and a major player in copper and nickel, says it is part of its "long-stated ambition to become a significant platinum producer".
Lonmin is the world's third-largest producer of the metal after Anglo Platinum and Impala. The firm was created 10 years ago when it was spun off from Tiny Rowland's Lonrho.
Xstrata chief Mick Davis has led an acquisition spree since 2004 that has expanded copper, nickel and coal production.
He has spent nearly £15 billion adding platinum assets, including South Africa's Eland Platinum. In 2005, he set up the Mototolo venture with Anglo Platinum to develop a mine in South Africa's Bushveld complex. But platinum makes up only 0.5% of Xstrata's revenue.
Control of Lonmin would immediately catapult it into the major league and comes at a time when the price of the metal, which is used in catalytic converters in motor vehicles, is 30% off its peak. Davis said the deal would be "an unrivalled combination of operational synergies, relevant experience and skills". It would give Lonmin shareholders an opportunity to realise a cash premium.
Lonmin was barred by the European Commission from merging with Impala in 1996, but Xstrata says it faces no significant regulatory hurdles to the acquisition.
It sought to soothe South African nerves. The country has more than 75% of the world's platinum supply.
Xstrata reported first-half net profit down 8% to $2.75 billion, after last year's figure was inflated by one-off items. Revenue was ahead 13% at $16.1 billion and the company says it expects a stronger second half.

We're so thrilled to share this outdoor experience by Angie Warren with you today. Angie is a photographer and writer based out of the bay area in California. Her work is absolutely beautiful. As a mother of three children and a home educator, Angie is always looking for ways to inspire her children's creativity. From Angie:
"We recently visited the back country of eastern Ohio, and were able to do something I've longed for, "Forest Schooling". Basically, we enjoyed learning everything we could outdoors, using as many natural elements as possible."
We hope these photos inspire some of your very own forest schooling this weekend. Enjoy friends! :)

Ulaanbaatar is a suitable city for making direct contact with Northeast Asian countries, and it makes conducting business operations easy and pleasant. The business activities operating in the city are very active, with many multinational corporations present, a stable financial environment, highly educated and experienced individuals, relatively few taxes and administrative burdens, reliable communications and road networks, and a peaceful, safe urban environment. Mongolia has professional and friendly relations with the countries in the region, so the threat of political disputes and challenges are not present.

An Empirical Assessment of Early Offer Reform for Medical Malpractice
The early offer reform proposal for medical malpractice provides an option for claimants to receive prompt payment of all their net economic losses and reasonable attorney fees. Using a large sample of closed individual medical malpractice claims from Texas supplemented by data from Florida, this article provides an empirical assessment of the consequences of the early offer reform. Noneconomic damages make up about two-thirds of paid claim amounts. The minimum payment amount for serious injuries will affect the magnitude of insurer savings and claimant compensation. Payments to claimants will be expedited by 2 years by the early offer reform, and litigation costs will be reduced by an average of $100,000-$200,000 per claim. (c) 2007 by The University of Chicago.

Werner Herzog, cinema's laureate of derangement, seems ideally equipped to investigate America's romance with the death penalty.
He examines it through the prism of a triple homicide in a Texas smalltown back in 2001. A pair of teenagers, Michael Perry and Jason Burkett, killed a middle-aged woman and two young men for the sake of a car they wanted to steal. Perry got a death sentence, but Burkett's was commuted to life in prison after an extraordinary appeal for clemency from his jailed father. The story has all the Herzogian Gothic – madness, murder, the workings of fate – but the director just hasn't shaped them into any kind of coherent pattern. We gather his opposition to capital punishment, but in interviewing the perpetrators and the victims' family and friends he allows them to ramble instead of asking the hard questions: such as, what does Perry feel about Burkett escaping Death Row, and on what basis does he plead his innocence of the crime? (There is no doubt that he's guilty).
Later, interviewing the young woman Burkett married in prison, Herzog allows her to witter on, absurdly, about a rainbow she imagined had blessed their union. The best thing here is a Death Row executioner who renounced the system after a shocking epiphany, but it doesn't answer to anything else. Into the Abyss has no argumentative thrust, no purpose other than – here's some chaotic and violent lives I discovered, make of them what you will.

A puffy down feather jacket is one of the lightest and warmest things you can wear. But the tradeoff is that if you get it even the slightest bit wet, you'll be wearing a cold soggy mess. Not the Brooks-Range Mojave, though; thanks to a special coating on the feathers, it doesn't skimp on the warm when it's wet.

Swedes sent more SMS messages than made phone calls for the first time last year, the national telecommunications authority said Thursday.
The number of phone text messages boomed from 9.9 billion in 2008 to 16.3 billion last year, it said, adding that this averaged to about 1,600 messages per client annually. Phone calls fell from 14.2 billion to 13.8 billion over the period.
The 65 percent hike was due to two reasons: cheaper rates for text messages and free SMS services offered by some operators, said Mattias Viklund, an official with the authority.
Sweden tops the world in mobile phone penetration with 91 percent owning cellphones against an average of 81 percent for the European Union.
There were a total of 11.6 subscriptions last year, of which 9.14 million were personal. Sweden's population is 9.34 million.Reuse content

We went to see Vanity Fair's Fashion in Film presentation of X, Y, and Zee (with Michael Caine and Elizabeth Taylor) at the Museum of Arts and Design on Saturday. The movie was a little crazy, but Elizabeth Taylor's outfits were tons of fun! Has anyone else seen this movie?
The Lela Rose show was on Sunday morning. Seeing how we don't get too many fashion shows here in Virginia - this was my first one. It was amazing! While playing my sister's shadow before the show I got to look at all the outfits hanging backstage ready for the models to wear. It was great to meet all the people she works with too. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming - which I've got to say was pretty impressive since I imagine fashion week (especially the morning of their show) is not the calmest, low-stress time.

The following piece was produced by HuffPost's OffTheBus.
Dennis Kucinich wants to save the Constitution, and he believes you can help.
On Manhattan's west side, on the fourth floor of a nondescript building, Dennis Kucinich got the chance to talk for an extended period of time and answer questions on topics that he, or the audience, deemed important. In other words, he did what he usually doesn't get to do at debates.
The rally was held at the Chapel of Sacred Mirror, an art gallery / event space owned by Kucinich friend and supporter Alex Grey.
The crowd gathered in a wide airy loft, where large silk screens of some of Grey's work hung on the walls. Background music was of the New Age-ish/world music variety, insistently repetitive drums vibrating, a sitar to match the incense that drifted into the room.
A mix of the very young, college-or-just-got-out-of-age to baby boomers who likely would have supported Kucinich in 1968 as well as 2008, filled the room. Hipsters and artsy types were the majority, with suit-wearers few and far between; there were probably only about four men wearing ties and at least two of those were likely sporting them in an attempt at some kind of fashion irony. Many of the people seemed to know each other, calling out greetings to each other as they came in.
All the chairs were quickly taken and the overflow crowd stood, sat on the floor, the window sills, wherever they could fit. A man dressed in an Uncle Sam-ish red, white and blue outfit, with a witch hat wrapped in stars and stripes, plunked himself down in the aisle.
Alex Grey spoke for a few minutes about his support for Kucinich, specifically about his commitment to peace and nonviolence. The audience cheered when he called Kucinich a visionary.
Kucinich finally made his entrance, working through the crowd, shaking hands with as many people as he could reach. Reaction ranged from a couple of twentysomething guys who applauded casually and didn't jump up for the standing ovation along with others to an older woman who reacted to a hug as if Kucinich was Mick Jagger and this was 1965.
And at this point, with this setup, this is where you would expect Kucinich to begin his speech and say something crazy. Something about aliens, or what his crystals told him to do today, or about the tofurkey he had for Thanksgiving dinner. That kind of thing has become the punchline in the media Kucinich joke.
Instead, perhaps tacitly alluding to the fact that he is usually written off as a no chance to win candidate, Kucinich spoke about people believing in themselves and believing they have the power to change things, no matter what others say; that each person is a light in the darkness and that collectively, those lights won't let the darkness win. He quoted Emerson, going back to the Transcendentalists, talking about their belief in the self and the self's ability to cause change in this world. He told the audience he believed in them and the power they had.
The first audience question was about the status of the bill Kucinich has proposed to impeach Vice President Cheney. The very mention of such a thing got wild applause, but Kucinich went on to explain that the bill isn't so much about Cheney as making a point about how the current administration has violated the Constitution in numerous ways, and how we're in a fight to determine whether the Constitution really means something or whether it's just a piece of paper that can be thrown away.
The rest of the questions ranged from the very specific--people who had the name and number of Congressional bills at hand--to the long and rambling 9/11 conspiracist rants. Kucinich had detailed responses for everyone. The 9/11 folk got a promise to reopen the investigation, not because he believed there was a hidden governmental conspiracy behind the attacks, but because, as he said, the current administration had created doubt and disbelief and this would restore people's faith in the facts. To a questioner who told him that he needed to be angrier in the debates and attack the other candidates, he said that would just get him labeled as a crank.
(Kucinich expressed his frustration that at the last debate, with all the important issues out there, he got asked a question about UFOs. Someone shouted out that they did that to "discredit" him. A man nearby helpfully said, "I've seen UFOs. I've seen them.")
His answer about rejecting a nondiscrimination bill that didn't include transgender person, segueing into his stance that the government shouldn't decide who we can marry got the biggest and longest applause of the night. Plans for saving the environment, the problems with contractors acting as private armies, and anti-Patriot Act material also got big audience reactions.
The audience was always involved and intent; they cheered like they had been waiting for something to cheer for. Some of them, waving "Kucinich for President" signs undoubtedly believed, as Kucinich had advocated, that somehow, despite the polls, lack of publicity and dire predictions, they could all work together and change everyone else's hearts and minds and get their man elected president. Others were probably more realistic and were there just to show they were going to vote their conscience, for someone they believed in rather than someone whose best qualification is the word "electable."
It's easy for other candidates, media, and casual observers to call Dennis Kucinich crazy, just as they do with Ron Paul. But Kucinich isn't crazy---you may not agree with him, but he's a lucid speaker, who knows his material and has specific ideas and plans that don't involve aliens, horoscopes, or talking cats. He's obviously read the Congressional bills referred to in the questions, which is something that probably not every member of Congress can claim to have done. He could deflect the more extreme questioners without insulting them. He quoted Shelley and Tennyson (the man obviously knows his romantic poets--is that how he landed the wife?).
The Tennyson quote was from "Ulysses:" Come, my friends, Tis not too late to seek a newer world." And with these words, into the cool, still New York night, went the crowd of believers in Dennis Kucinich, themselves, and their power to change. Idealists, dreamers, artists; naïve ones, weaklings, idiots. Whatever you want to call them, they would undoubtedly be fine with it because they are sure that they have found something special, something to hang onto, some kind of hope.

Els was in front after the first and second rounds and entered the last day as part of a three-way lead. Thomas Bjorn of Denmark shot a 69 and finished a stroke back. Alexander Levy of France had a 71 and was another stroke off the pace for his best result. Els is a two-time winner at both the U.S. Open and British Open. He is the first South African to win the BMW International in the competition's 25th edition. "I'm a very young 43-year-old. There's not a younger 43-year-old, I promise," Els joked. "I've tried a long time to win this golf tournament. I really had it going and then I made it tough for myself again," he added, referring to his bogey on the 11th hole.

Beagleboard is your friend…..

The USB-powered Beagle Board is a low-cost, fan-less single board computer utilizing Texas Instruments' OMAP3530 application processor that unleashes laptop-like performance and expansion without the bulk, expense, or noise of typical desktop machines.
Beagle Board is based on an OMAP3530 application processor featuring an ARM® Cortex™-A8 running at up to 600MHz and delivering over 1,200 Dhrystone MIPS of performance via superscalar operation with highly accurate branch prediction and 256KB of L2 cache. Focal to Beagle Board experience is the high-speed USB 2.0 on-the-go (OTG) port that can be utilized to provide power to the board or to deliver highly flexible expansion. Standard PC peripherals can be connected to Beagle Board using the USB with a mini-A to standard-A cable adapter, DVI-D using an HDMI to DVI-D adapter, or through the MMC/SD/SDIO connector enabling a complete desktop experience.

Sony gets dethroned….JVC joins the 4K Projection club
Posted on 14:46, November 25th, 2007 by Many Ayromlou
If you've been tuned into Digital Cinema Projection for the past couple of years, you'd know that when it comes to 4K projection (4Kx2K image), sony's SXRD series was pretty much the only game in town. DLP is limited to 2K and most of the projectors out there (Christie, Barco, NEC) are all 2K projectors. A downside of Sony's projector is that although it is as hefty as a small car it only has a 2000:1 contrast ratio (measured less than that calibrated). Its rated aggresively for 40ft screens which is not nearly big enough for true cinema applications.
That was true until JVC announced their 1.27-inch 4Kx2K D-ILA (Direct-drive Image Light Amplifier) chip at InfoComm 2007. The chip can produce a 4096×2400 pixel image with a 20,000:1 contrast ratio. That's nearly 10x the contrast ratio of the Sony behemoth.
Major Specifications:
The DLA-SH4K, which packs the 4k D-ILA chip, touts a 4,096 x 2,400 resolution, 10,000:1 contrast ratio, 3,500 lumens, a dual-link DVI input, multiscreen mode, an Ethernet port for remote operation and RS-232 / USB connectors. It measures 660 x 827 x 340 mm and is slated for launch in the first half of 2008.

As the first German in 19 years to wear the yellow jersey, Ullrich has arrived just in time for German sport. With the Boris Becker and Steffi Graf era fading, tennis is losing ground in Germany, while boxing, too, is taking the count.
The country has no real tradition in cycling, but now everyone, it seems, is buying bikes, and on Tuesday, when Ullrich took over the leader's colours, German television's Tour transmission attracted six million viewers.
Eight years ago, a fascinated 15-year-old watched on television as Greg LeMond swiped the yellow jersey from Laurent Fignon by eight seconds on the last day in the Champs-Elysees.
It was a big moment for the then East German, but it could not match the day when, after the Berlin Wall was demolished, he could afford to buy his first pair of sports shoes with deutschmarks.
The Wall coming down also opened the borders of international cycling to Ullrich, who had won his first race when he was nine, who left his Rostock home four years later for the Youth Sports School in Berlin. His brother Stefan went with him because he had shown promise as a long-distance runner, but it was to be Jan who was to go the full distance in his chosen sport.
Ullrich was three when his father left their mother to bring up three sons, but once his racing career began to take shape under the guidance of Peter Becker, his coach became the father he never knew.
Becker had spotted Ullrich competing in cyclo-cross, cycling's winter cross-country sport, and immediately took him into his influential club, and has shaped his career since that day.
Ullrich's victory in the world amateur road race championship in Oslo four years ago brought him to the notice of professional team managers. A year later they began reaching for their pens as he sped home for a bronze medal in the world time trial championship, 1min 50sec behind Chris Boardman in Sicily.
Walter Godefroot, the Belgian manager of Deutsche Telekom, got there first, and in 1994, in a probationary period with the team, Ullrich won a stage in the Tour of Hawaii.
Then in 1996, assistant team manager Rudy Pevenage advised Godefroot that Ullrich was ready for bigger things. The Tour de France beckoned, but so too did the Atlanta Olympics.
"You are too young to do both," the German Cycling Federation advised, so Ullrich had to choose. He arrived in the Netherlands, where the Tour began last year, for his baptism in three weeks of suffering and survival as the helpmate to the Dane, Bjarne Riis.
Riis dominated the Tour, but with a day to go before the final parade into Paris, Ullrich came out of the shadows to dent a few reputations. He averaged 50.43kph [31.5mph] through the vineyards of St Emilion to win a 63.5km time trial, beating Miguel Indurain, the Olympic time trial champion and acknowledged maestro of against-the-clock racing, by 56 seconds.
Spain's Abraham Olano, the silver medallist in Atlanta, was third, 2min 6sec slower, and Riis fourth in 2:18. Ullrich's performance was the fifth fastest in Tour history. Next day he joined Riis on the podium in Paris, and Godefroot, not given to wild statements, tipped him to take the yellow jersey next time.
"He has all the right talents and with the correct preparation he can win the Tour," the Belgian predicted. Indurain, the five times winner of the Tour, went further, saying: "He is sure to win a Tour, perhaps several."
Germans recalled their last Tour hero, Didi Thurau, who in 1977 wore yellow for 15 days via six stage wins. That was his debut at the age of 22. So when Ullrich showed real Tour temperament at the same age, they knew that they were on the way to having a 10th German don the yellow jersey, 65 years after Kurt Stopel had been the first to pull on the colours.
Now Germany waits to celebrate, but a week is a long time in the Tour. The Alpine offensive opens today to find the real champion, and Riis believes Ullrich may be almost there. "If Jan continues like this, almost no one can beat him," the Dane said. "And one will have to consider oneself content to have a place on the podium in Paris.
"Jan is a nice chap. He has been very fair with me and so I must in turn be fair to him and if I realise I can't win the Tour then, OK, I'll do all I can so Jan wins."
Banesto, Indurain's former team which now has Olano as its leader, have been reported to be showing interest in Ullrich. Jose Miguel Echavarri, their team manager, would not be drawn, saying, "It would be better for German cycling if he stayed with Telekom, as it was good for Spanish cycling that Indurain was always with us."

Immigration attorneys (sometimes called "green card lawyers") represent people who want to come to the United States, whether it be for schooling, work, or just a visit. Immigration lawyers can also help undocumented immigrants found living in the U.S. without permission. Immigration laws govern who can enter the U.S., how long they can stay, what they can do while they are here, and how they can become American citizens. If you are not a U.S. citizen and want to apply for a green card or other visa, or if you are already in the U.S. and have been threatened with deportation, an immigration lawyer can help you.

A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Philosophy and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas, September, 1996.
This is a exposition and critique of the "critical realism" (perhaps better dexcribed as intellectual realism) of Bernard Lonergan. According to Lonergan the real or being is what is or could be known by inquiring intelligently and reasonably into experience, and these operations of insight are said to be both epistemologically and ontologically foundational.
I introduce a "spare version" which states the theory in terms of intellectual curiosity alone. It is argued that Lonergan's theory of scientific explanation and description is incoherent because of a lingering direct realism, his frequent condemnations of naive realism notwithstanding. I offer a critique of Hugo Meynell's "double given" theory of how it is known that there is an external world, and show that Davidson's "omniscient translator" and Putnam's "brain-in-a-vat" arguments fail.
A critical realist critique of BonJour's coherentist epistemology leads to an amended version of Lonergan's theory of justification, and an exegesis of Lonergan's theory of "constitutive consciousness" is followed by a critique of his account of "rational self-appropriation" which identifies and attempts to correct some technical difficulties. The final chapters offer an exposition of Lonergan's account of being, criticize his dismissal of Parmenides, and show how critical realism, precisely because it is foundationally correct and complete, seems to lead to aporia.

Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
HPRC Fitness Arena: Dietary Supplements
If you've ever eaten something spicy and felt a burning sensation on your tongue, then you've eaten capsaicin. Capsaicin is the substance found in chili peppers such as jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros that gives them their spiciness. Although humans have been eating peppers for thousands of years, capsaicin has only recently come into the supplement spotlight. As an isolated ingredient, it is usually sold as capsules labeled "cayenne pepper" or "capsicum" after the family of peppers that naturally contain capsaicin.
Capsaicin supplements are marketed to aid with weight loss in three ways: increase energy use, burn fat, and decrease appetite. Some scientific evidence supports these statements, but the results of most studies were inconsistent, short-lived, and didn't always result in weight loss. Long-term effects of taking capsaicin supplements, especially at high doses, are still unknown, so their safety over time needs further investigation.
Although capsaicin is considered safe to consume in food, capsaicin supplements can cause gastrointestinal issues (gas, stomach pain, and diarrhea) for some people. They also can interact with certain medications and other herbal supplements, so you should consult a healthcare provider before taking it. Capsaicin supplements also may not be safe if you are allergic to peppers or if you're pregnant or lactating.
Visit Operation Supplement Safety for more OPSS FAQs about weight loss.
Bitter orange is an extract from the immature green fruit of the Citrus aurantium plant, also known as Seville orange. It is sometimes used in small amounts in food as a flavorant and often used in weight-loss supplements. The terms "bitter orange," "bitter orange extract," or "Citrus aurantium" are often used interchangeably with the ingredient name "synephrine," but bitter orange (the extract from Citrus aurantium fruit) is actually a complex mixture of many compounds, including synephrine and octopamine. Although both synephrine and octopamine occur naturally in the Citrus aurantium plant, they also can be made in a laboratory.
Many safety concerns have been raised with regard to synephrine and octopamine, which are both stimulants. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) bans both of them, but the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) bans only octopamine. Bitter orange is frequently used in "ephedra-free" products since 2004, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned ephedra for its association with serious adverse cardiovascular effects. Combinations of stimulants—such as bitter orange and caffeine, commonly found together in weight-loss and bodybuilding products—can cause hypertension and increase heart rate in otherwise healthy adults. A major concern with products that list bitter orange (or synephrine, or octopamine) on the label is that the amount of stimulants in the product is sometimes very difficult—if not impossible—to determine. Service members should exercise extreme caution when considering whether to use supplements containing bitter orange.
No conclusive, peer-reviewed, scientific evidence clearly establishes that bitter orange is any safer than ephedra. For more information on bitter orange and ephedra, read the monographs in HPRC's Dietary Supplement Classification System series.
For more answers to common questions we've received about dietary supplements, please visit our Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) FAQs.
What are omega-7 fatty acids? And do omega-7 supplements convey the health benefits advertised?
Omega-7 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fat. Omega-7s are considered non-essential fatty acids, which means your body can make enough omega-7s to function properly. In other words, you don't need to get them from foods or supplements.
One of the most common forms of omega-7s, which is also used in supplements, is palmitoleic acid (not to be confused with palmitic acid, which is a saturated fat). Omega-7 supplements are marketed for health benefits such as heart and liver health, improved cholesterol levels, weight loss, glucose (blood sugar) metabolism, and immune support. Limited research has shown some benefits from palmitoleic acid supplementation, but most of the research has been done on animals and only for short test periods (less than four weeks). As a result, no recommended dose or source of palmitoleic acid exists, and there is not enough evidence to suggest that omega-7 supplements can improve heart health or health in general.
At this time, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved any vaccines or drugs for the prevention or treatment of Ebola. However, online advertising of some dietary supplement products makes claims that they can prevent or cure this deadly infectious disease.
By definition, a dietary supplement product cannot make a claim that it will prevent or cure a disease. FDA advises consumers to be aware that these products are fraudulent and should not be used. You can read more about these products and about Ebola in FDA's Press Announcement. And be sure to visit the Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) website to learn more about dietary supplements in general and how to choose supplements wisely.
Lately, HPRC has been receiving a lot of questions about the use of banned supplements in the military, but the fact is: There isn't a list of banned dietary supplements currently available. It isn't always easy to determine whether a dietary supplement product is safe or not, so the Department of Defense (DoD), together with HPRC, provides helpful resources on the Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) website to help you choose supplements wisely. With regard to the military's stance on supplements in general, please see the OPSS FAQ about a "banned list," which is pertinent to all service branches.
Some dietary supplements, including ones sold on military installations, contain potentially harmful and problematic ingredients. For some tips about how to avoid these, read the OPSS infosheet "Red Flags—What You Need to Know." In addition, some other potentially dangerous ingredients include prescription drug ingredients and their analogs, drugs banned by FDA for safety reasons, controlled substances (such as anabolic steroids), and untested/unstudied new active drug ingredients, which may not be listed on the product label.
One way to ensure that a dietary supplement product is safe is to see if it is third-party verified. Third-party certification organizations have developed criteria for evaluating and authenticating the quality of a supplement—the ingredients, the dosage levels, the level of contaminants, the label claims, and whether the manufacturing facilities follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database (NMCD) is the gold standard for evidence-based information on dietary supplement products and ingredients and is an HPRC partner. (Subscription is free if you have a ".mil" email address; visit the OPSS FAQ for more information.) NMCD rates products on a scale of 1 to 10 based on safety and effectiveness. We encourage you to consider only using products rated 8 or above.
To avoid potential problems, talk with your healthcare provider or dietitian before using dietary supplements. Also, see FDA's list of tainted bodybuilding products, which includes important public notifications.
In a new Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) PSA video, Gold Star mother Ms. Terri Bellamy-Coleman urges service members to seek out information and guidance on dietary supplements from the appropriate sources before taking them. Ms. Bellamy-Coleman's son, who was attending the NCO (Noncommissioned Officer Academy, WLC (Warrior Leadership Course) in Fort Benning, GA at the time of his death, had been taking dietary supplements when he exerted himself during physical training, suffered a heart arrhythmia, and died. He had the sickle-cell trait, which may have aggravated the situation. She wants others to be aware of the possible risks associated with dietary supplements, especially when certain medical conditions are present, and urges service members to seek information to help prevent possible harmful health effects. Please watch the video, "A Mother's Plea."
Weight-loss (diet) prescription medications are generally not permitted, but it's important to check your service's policy for specific conditions that may exist. Read this OPSS FAQ to find out more details, including links to specific policies. Also, be sure to check the OPSS site often, as we add answers to other questions about ingredients in performance-enhancing and bodybuilding supplements and how to choose supplements safely.
If you have a question about a particular dietary supplement ingredient or product, please use our "Ask the Expert" button located on the OPSS home page.
With their promises of fast results and huge gains or losses, dietary supplements can be tempting, whether you're trying to maintain your fitness in combat or at home. The advertising claims can be difficult to navigate, and staying informed about potential side effects is a challenge.
Operation Supplement Safety presents an educational video with information you need to know before you consider taking any dietary supplement:
- Potential side effects
- What to do if you experience an unwanted effect
- Alternatives to taking supplements
- Where to get more information
If you have questions about dietary supplements or performance nutrition, and you can't find answers on our website, submit your question to our experts.
Although the internet is a quick and easy way to find health information, the source may not always be reputable. The Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health has developed guidelines to help consumers evaluate internet-based health information. Click here to find out more.
Vitamin D is actually a hormone that your body produces when your skin is exposed to sunlight, earning it the nickname "sunshine vitamin." It plays key roles in reducing your risk of many health conditions, including depression, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and others. Spending 10 to 15 minutes outside on a sunny day with your arms and legs uncovered can provide nearly all the vitamin D most people need—challenging when you're wearing a long-sleeved uniform or working inside all day—but you can also get some vitamin D in your diet from fatty fish (such as salmon), mushrooms, and many fortified foods.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance for most individuals is 600 IUs. People who have a vitamin D deficiency or certain medical conditions might require supplemental vitamin D but only under the supervision of their healthcare provider. That's because excess vitamin D can be stored in your body, putting you at risk for toxicity. Over time, too much vitamin D can lead to irregular heart rhythms, kidney damage, and other serious health problems. If you take large doses of supplemental vitamin D and eat foods that are fortified with it, you could easily obtain more than recommended amounts.
Despite the risk for toxicity, nearly one-fourth of people living in the U.S. have low vitamin D levels, so all adults and children should have their vitamin D status checked by their healthcare provider. For more information about vitamin D, read this fact sheet from the Office of Dietary Supplements.

Game 1: Cup Finals....Thoughts/Complaints?????
Posted 3:42 AM ET |
Comments 0
Wow, no penalty shot! Biggest thing of the night. Detroit got away with one on that when Zetterberg closed his hand on the puck in the crease. And no call!!! It still amazes me how the refs rarely call that.
Biggest complaint for me.....SOMEONE SUSPEND KRONWALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why, why, why, why, why has this guy not been suspended. Keep your skates on the ice when you throw a hit. Every other player in the league can do that, but Kronwall was apparently sick on that day of hockey school. Even the annoucers call it everytime. Flashback to conference finals.....look at what happened to Havlat. And this has been the trend for the past few seasons. Not only in post, but regular. Sooner or later that guy is gonna get hit in the same way, and he deserves it.
Now this is not only a vent against the Red Wings here. The Pens definately got away with a few of their own. Even I'll admit that....but the difference is that what the Pens do in the game is stuff that's actually supposed to happen and it does happen in every game. What Detroit does is not supposed to happen and they get away with it a lot. And people wonder why there is message sending, retaliation, and hits to the head...its reasons like these, but most importantly its the fact that they get away with it.
What are your thoughts?

Happy Thanksgiving - a little early....
We are off to the Oregon Coast for our annual Thanksgiving trip. We may get blown away as the area we always go to has been hammered this week with high winds, some flooding and lots of rain. There always has to be a storm or two this time of year at the beach, makes for good beach combing the next day. Have a wonderful holiday everyone!!

When we brought Madison home as a pup a little over a year ago, she was all of 4 pounds and tiny compared to Chance and Skeezics - both 13 pound cats. Skeezics took to her right away, he's our little zen master and dog whisperer. Chance however was not amused. He was not going to like that "d-o-g" no matter what. He wouldn't even walk on the floor if that dog was in the room. He would walk on the backs of chairs and side tables to avoid the possibility of even coming in contact with that dog. It was hilarious to watch this huge cat try to tip toe and slink around to avoid the little 4 pound puppy who wasn't all that interested in either of them. My how times have changed, they've become good friends, they play, he'll rub up against her as cats like to do and last night - we spotted this on the couch (the camera woke them up):
Just proving that no matter how determined you are to avoid someone or how disgusted you are by them, you can come around and be buddies!!

My Latest Creation
Despite the flu, fever, aches and pains and sleeping a lot, I did get another wall hanging done for winter after the holidays. It was a kit I bought several years ago and the pattern was quite frustrating, I cut everything out and yet the measurements were not right for somethings and in general it was just a weird pattern to follow. However with all the challenges, I think it turned out - okay. I love the fabric that is for sure.
The only thing left to do is put a binding on and I'll do that when we're at the beach.
I also wanted to share a couple of great websites. The first one is Julie Peterson's site, she is a fabulous artist from Moses Lake, WA. She does some stunning paintings with quilts in them. I own several of her prints and one of her gicle'e prints. Check her work out, you won't be disappointed.
Also I stumbled on this cutest website about Iris and Fern - two cats who live in Canada and their Christmas Tree antics. Oh my gosh, if you are a cat lover, you will get a big kick out of these two sisters. I really admire their parents for putting up a tree every year, after our Skeezics went after the tree the last 2 years, we've decided it's just not worth it, the temptation is to much for him.
Happy Stitchin!!

A Painted Bathroom
This weekend my dear sweet hubby decided to paint our small half-bath off of our bedroom. We'd been meaning to get to it after we put a new piece of vinyl on the floor and a new ADA toilet (which showed the unpainted part of the wall because it was smaller than the last one). But Spring and Summer arrived and fishing called to us and before we knew it, Fall was here and the bathroom still not painted. Which in retrospect was a good thing. In the beginning I was leaning toward totally different colors than I ended up with and I'm super happy with the results. We painted it a latte color and then I had wanted red accessories (towels, etc). Well I went shopping around and they had a berry color - to pinkish, they had a wine/merlot color - to dark for such a small space and then they had these towels they called a tomato color - fell in love with the tomato color. To keep it brighter in the room I selected a slightly off white toilet seat cover and bathmat. I love the results - and the fact that my "lets paint everything beige, I'm afraid of color husband" went along with some color and liked it too - hooray!!
In case you're wondering that is a bear toilet paper holder. I'm a bear fanatic and yes, even the bathroom has bear accessories like a soap dish, toothbrush holder, soap dispenser, etc. I don't think the picture does the paint justice, it looks a bit pinkish in this picture - really, think latte!!
Last month was my birthday, CR was trying to get me some Kretzer Scissors for my birthday, a pair of pinking shears, an 8" pair of sewing scissors and a small pair of embroidery scissors. Well the company we were told that had them online (couldn't find them locally) really made a mess out of things. They charged us without sending the product, the wouldn't answer emails or phone calls, in fact you could only get an answering machine no matter the day or the time of day you called. It was awful. So I disputed the charges with our credit card company and those charges were removed. Then I sent an email to Kretzer to let them know of the issue. I felt they should know that this company was bad news and they might not want their product being associated with them. To my surprise, Kretzer wanted to know what scissors I had ordered and then they sent them to me free of charge - because they wanted me to be a happy customer and what had happened was just not good business, even though it was not Kretzer the company who did this to me. I couldn't believe it. So all you quilters and crafters, take a look at Kretzer Scissors, they are German made and an excellent product as well as an excellent company. And Kretzer is in the process of pulling their product from the company I complained about. I hope we start see the Kretzer scissors on the shelves in our local quilt shops soon, they are certainly worth the money and not really that expensive compared to some scissors out there.
Time to go rest some more, this flu has really kicked me in the behind and I've got no get up and go.
Stay Healthy!

Remember Felix the Cat?
Do you remember Felix the Cat, I have always loved him and one day while browsing around on Amazon I found a place that carried Felix Clocks. I had to have one, his eyes move, his tail swings and he would be perfect for my sewing room. So CR ordered him for my birthday and he finally arrived today, HOORAY. Isn't he too cute!!

Christmas Wall Hanging and Table Topper
All my bindings are done, hooray, it's very hard to hand sew with the arthritis I have, so I'm always glad when I get it done. Thank goodness for my clover needle threader, or I would still be trying to thread the darn needle.
My Christmas wall hanging is the pattern from the current issue of Quilt Maker, it's not only a festive wall hanging but it's a card holder as well. My table topper for our coffee table is an Anka's Treasures pattern - I just love her patterns, they're so easy to follow and they look so great when you finish.
Hopefully I'll have some progress to show or report on the quilt before we leave.

Turkey Wall Hanging
Finally have my Turkey wall hanging done and out for November. I call him Tom the Turkey. I messed up a bit on the size of the blocks on the sides, and decided that it would have to do, perhaps next year I will make him again and do it right the next time. Until then, here is Tom:
It's a Rasmatazz Designs Pattern called Turkey Feathers. Mistakes and all - I like him a lot.

Been Busy Sewing......
Happy Halloween a bit late. I've been a busy girl in my sewing room of late and had wanted to post a picture of my Happy Jack wall hanging a couple days ago, but blogger wouldn't let me do much of anything and absolutely wouldn't let me upload a picture. Don't know what was up with that, but glad I could finally get a picture up today. I've also made a Christmas wall hanging, a table topper for our coffee table and I almost have my turkey wall hanging finished. Then I'll just need to sit and hand sew those bindings down and I can share them with you as well. I can't believe it's the first day of November already - where has the time gone. Well I was busy much of October making 12 purses, and only 3 were for me and I must say I don't want to make a purse for a long while. Once the turkey is done I'll get back to the quilt for our bed which I'm anxious to get back into. Did you all get little goblins ringing your door bells?? I didn't get a one, and I had candy ready and waiting too. It was extremely windy around here, so I wonder if that kept them home. Now I'll have to eat that candy - oy vey!! What do you do with your left over candy - eat it or find a way to get rid of it??

Why is it that black girls are the most undesirable? (For non-black guys)I'm seeing a lot of negative things being said about black women in the media (mainly online). I even saw a forum thread dedicated to how black girls are the ugliest. Sure there are racist people that will say that other races are ugly, but black girls get the most heat. I've seen a lot of black girls ask similar questions, and people just think we're imagining things. I mean, look at the marriage rates. Black women are the least married race. I've heard people say that even black guys don't want black women.
This issue is causing my already low-self esteem to plummet to uncharted territories, even though I think I'm pretty compared to most black girls but not so pretty according to regular beauty standards (if that makes sense). My school is mostly white, but the few black girls that go there don't have boyfriends, and to me they are pretty and seem intelligent. Boys aren't everything and at our young age it's better to be more concerned with our academic and career goals, but I feel so discouraged when it comes to dating (keep in mind that I live in a predominately white area).
In conclusion, I would like to know what it is about black girls that's so unattractive? (BE HONEST, answer anonymously if you must, and don't feed me any crap about "preferences" because in most cases I find that there is underlying racism behind this so-called racial preferences).

What is it about black girls that's so unattractive? I wouldn't know, as I am so hot for a lot black gals I know.
I do understand what this is all about though... When messing around on HotOrNot, I noticed that great looking black gals who would be an 8 or 9 in my books will tend to score a 6 or 7 (rated by predominately white male audience). There is definitely some difference between how my friends and I view the level of attractiveness for most black women. I see hot white gal, my friends see hot white gal. I see hot black gal, my friends are like, NO.
Far from holding my head up high as a white man and being uppity about the white race on how we have such high quality women among our ranks and high standards for the women we want to be with, I want to take this opportunity to call my friends out for being the morons they are. To me, it doesn't necessarily show they have great taste in gals by having the hots for women who are almost exclusively white (Asian occasionally), but it definitely shows they are missing out on a lot of great gals... Black gals!
Black ladies, many you are so very fine in my eyes.2221|11|3
LOL thanks for the compliment. I feel you on the friends thing. I've dated all races (white included) and my friends are cool and agree with how hot a guy is except when it comes to white guys. They say that they don't "prefer" white guys. I prefer a guy that is respectful, funny and cute no matter his color. :-)
- Show AllShow Less
I got sad when I see things like that, I always loved black girls, in my opinion, they are a hundred times most beatiful than white girls, not just because of the color of the skin, but in every trait, like the mouth, the hair, the body. But, when I'm with my friends and they see a black girl, if the see 10, they will say that nine are very ugly and the only one they said that isn't ugly, doesn't have a skin as dark as the others. When I was younger, I always used to see a beautiful black girl and share my opinion with my friends, but I didn't used to share cause if I do, my friends will laugh in my face. When I grew up, I have lost th shame, they can laugh as much as they want, I don't care. Happily, I started to talk about with my closest friends, and they have started to understand and be more acceptive with black girls and don't judge someone who think that they are beautiful.
Today, I'm happy with my girlfriend, she is black and she is the most beautiful girl in the world!
Ps: I'm from Brazil, and people here are more acceptive with black women, but just one kind of black women. To be here, be black and be beautiful, you need to have a standard appearance and this is ridiculous!!!
Here the samba in carnival is very popular, and the the women who dance in the samba schools are mostly black, this is cool, but the problem is that it have created a standard black women and if you are black and don't follow this standard, you're ugly. I can't explain this standard to you, but, I can try, to be black and be beautiful, you have to be tall, have a big and curly hair that isn't so "afro", if I can't say that way, and the most ridiculous one: Your skin can't be so dark as a African girl... This is RIDICULOUS!
My problem is that I think that a simple black girl from the favelas are more beautiful than the white girls of the TV and even more than the standard black ones, that's why my friends used to judge me.

Hey girl,
I read your question and, if you are asking for absolute honesty, I am going to tell you that I think you're insecure. I am not putting you (nor would I put anyone) down for being insecure (I am insecure too)! But there is no "truth" out there that one race is better or worse looking than another. You're getting too caught up in the nasty, racist opinions of certain people (people who, I'm sure, you'd never want to even associate with; much less respect enough to give their words creedence). There is a lot of hatred out there towards people of color and, I believe, it is easy for that hatred to be soaked up by the people themselves. You might believe it's a "fact" that black women are "less attractive" than other women (whatever that may mean to you), but it is NOT. I am not black, but I am in a very small minority being a Jew and I have felt very negative against my heritage based on what other people say about it. It was eye opening when I finally realized that their hate was now inside of me too! I just began to really love my culture and learn more about it. I finally embraced it, but other people's hate took a long while to shake off. You'll shake it off too. Black women are exceptionally beautiful, just as all women are. Love yourself. There is nothing not to love!87|10|0
