Health Information
LysineSkip to the navigation
Lysine is an essential amino acid needed for growth and to help maintain nitrogen balance in the body. (Essential amino acids cannot be made in the body and must be supplied by the diet or supplements.)
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
|Used for
3 Stars
Cold Sores
1 to 3 grams daily
Supplementing with lysine may reduce recurrences by suppressing the virus that causes sores.
The amino acid lysine has been reported to reduce the recurrence rate of herpes simplex infections in both preliminary1 , 2 and double-blind trials.3 , 4 The amount used in these studies was usually 1 to 3 grams per day, although some people received as little as 312 mg per day. In one double-blind trial, lysine supplementation (1,200 mg per day) failed to prevent recurrences better than placebo.5 However, the results of that study may have been skewed by a large number of dropouts in the placebo group who fared poorly but were not included in the analysis.
When lysine has been used for acute outbreaks, the results have been mixed. In a preliminary study, 390 mg of lysine taken at the first sign of a herpes outbreak resulted in rapid resolution of the cold sores in all cases.6 However, in a double-blind study, supplementing with 1 gram of lysine per day for five days did not increase the healing rate of the cold sores.7
2 Stars
Genital Herpes
1,000 mg daily
Taking lysine may speed healing and help prevent future outbreaks.
Most research on lysine has been done on people with cold sores or on groups that include both cold sores and genital herpes sufferers. However, some evidence exists that supplemental lysine may be effective in the prevention and treatment of genital herpes. In one preliminary survey, 81% of people with HSV infections (including genital herpes) reported lysine was effective for reducing recurrences and shortening healing time in amounts averaging about 1,000 mg per day.8 A small double-blind trial of people with oral and genital herpes examined the effects of 1,248 mg or 624 mg of lysine daily versus placebo.9 The study found that 1,248 mg per day of lysine, but not the lower dose, was effective in reducing the recurrence rate of herpes outbreaks by 57% to 65%, while neither dose helped reduce the healing time. Another small double-blind trial found that using 3,000 mg per day of lysine in divided doses led to a decrease in severity of symptoms and a reduction in healing time of both oral and genital herpes.10 One preliminary report found no benefit of lysine for a group of patients with either oral or genital herpes.11
1 Star
Shingles and Postherpetic Neuralgia
Refer to label instructions
Because shingles is caused by a herpes virus, some doctors believe that lysine could help, since it inhibits replication of herpes simplex, a related virus.
Because shingles is caused by a herpes virus, some doctors believe that lysine supplementation could help people with the condition, since lysine inhibits replication of herpes simplex, a related virus. However, lysine has not been shown to inhibit Varicella zoster, nor has it been shown to provide any benefit for people with shingles outbreaks. Therefore, its use in this condition remains speculative.
How It Works
How to Use It
Most people do not require lysine supplementation. Doctors often suggest that people with recurrent herpes simplex infections take 1,000-3,000 mg of lysine per day.
Where to Find It
Brewer's yeast , legumes, dairy, fish, and meat all contain significant amounts of lysine.
Possible Deficiencies
Most people, including vegans (vegetarians who also avoid dairy and eggs), consume adequate amounts of lysine. However, vegans whose diets contain large amounts of grains and only minimal amounts of beans could become deficient in lysine. Athletes involved in frequent vigorous exercise have increased need for essential amino acids , although most diets meet these increased needs. The essential amino acid requirements of burn patients may exceed the amount of lysine in the diet.
Interactions with Supplements, Foods, & Other Compounds
Lysine supplementation increases the absorption of calcium and may reduce its excretion.12 As a result, some researchers believe that lysine may eventually be shown to have a role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis .13
Lysine works with other essential amino acids to maintain growth, lean body mass, and the body's store of nitrogen.
Interactions with Medicines
Side Effects
Side Effects
In animals, high amounts of lysine have been linked to increased risk of gallstones 14 and elevated cholesterol .15 At supplemental amounts, no consistent problems have been reported in humans, though abdominal cramps and transient diarrhea have occasionally been reported at very high (15-40 grams per day) intakes.16

text: I know that poeple swap out axles from half ton to 3\4 ton but my Q is what's the differs cents in 1986 axles and 1988 axles? If they where both 4wd should've fit then? O I heard that you should put in the abs on a old suburban, is this true? Thanks


text: Sorry to ask what may sound like a dumb question, but I have not been able to find the info in any of my books. When drones are mating with queens, is it known how far the drones will travel to a mating area? Do mating flights generally take place in the immediate vicinity of the hive(s)? The reason I ask is simple. I am in Texas and the AHB's are getting closer. If I let my hives requeen themselves, what is the likelihood of the new queen mating with a feral AHB drone, if there are any in the area? Is there a distance from known areas with AHB that is safe to assume this is not a problem? Thanks for any info.

The upcoming exhibit, Ciudad Fragmentada (Fragmented City), consists of photo-based works by internationally recognized Cuban artist José Manuel Fors, depicting the multiple layers of Havana's crumbling architecture and its resilient people. This is the artist's first solo exhibition in the San Francisco Bay Area, and he has prepared a considerable amount of new work for this show. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, November 8, 7–9 pm. The artist will attend the opening reception and will provide a brief introduction to the exhibit.
Fors uses photographic images to explore the themes of memory and nature. In Ciudad Fragmentada, Fors examines the deterioration of Havana city through his signature style of tiny photographic images. "Between the architectural fragments," Fors said, "can be found its people, objects, and documents, all things that make up the city." Also included, are works from his series Atados de Memorias (Bundles of Memories), which consist of photographs and documents that belonged to his family.
José Manuel Fors was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1956, and attended the San Alejandro Academy. Trained as a painter, Fors became a pioneer of the Cuban contemporary art renaissance as a participant in the groundbreaking exhibition Volume 1, held in 1981. His work is represented in major public and private collections, including Pier 24 Photography in San Francisco, California; MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, California; The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas; the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and the Museum of Fine Arts in Havana, Cuba, among others. In 2001, Fors' images were included in the exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art entitled, Shifting Tides: Cuban Photography after the Revolution.
This exhibition is part of a creative collaboration between American and Cuban photographers organized by Foothill College Photography Professor Ron Herman, who led professional research trips to Cuba for local photographers in 2010, 2011, and 2012. "This exhibition is just one of the many activities we've engaged in with our Cuban counterparts," explains Professor Herman. "In Cuba, we lectured, reviewed portfolios, exhibited our work, and photographed alongside Cuba's leading photographers. These activities played a vital role in bringing our two photo communities together to exchange ideas and information. I hope we'll see more creative collaborations with Cuban artists in the future."
Parking is $3.00 (quarters or $1 bills only). Please park in Lot 4. Disabled parking in Lot 4-B. KCI hours of operation are Monday - Friday: 7:30am - 8:30pm; Saturday: 9am - 5pm; Closed Sundays and for the holiday 11/22-11/25.

And please dont tell me to practice, I practice a lot and I have several 9mm that are easier to fire so its not me. Saying that I like the gun overall and would love to have one if I could get the Trigger worked on.

Personally speaking, I've learned to be wary of reviews where the golfer is euphoric about the item in question immediately after the purchase or first driving range/launch monitor session. I call that the "honeymoon phase", and I admit to writing a review like that in the past as well. A few months ago, I purchased the TM Burner 2.0 irons and was totally blown away with the increased yardages gained. However as I took those irons to several courses over the summer, I realized that distance meant little if all of the shots veered left of the target. Initially I though it was simply a by-product of my adjusting from nike blades, but the draw bias was so severe that working the ball anywhere but left was near impossible. I purchased the Nike VR-S irons after the price drop and took them to the course the same afternoon. What I noticed was the VR-S were just as long as the Burners, but ten times more accurate. I've been playing these VR-S irons for the past six weeks and more than 15 rounds/tournaments now, and I can work the ball left, right, or straight again. There was no way I could say that about the Burners, and no, I did not change anything with my swing to accomplish that workability. My only gripe is the grips should have had some sort of alignment aid on them for this class of club, but that is an easy fix. Oh I do need to mention that (like the burners), the shafts are marginally longer than standard, so you will need to have some "alone" time with them to become truly efficient with them. I can assure you that once you've done that, you will cherish the day you put these quality irons in your bag.
Got these clubs 2 days ago and immediately set out to the range. Clubs are not all that much longer in distance than my old shopko specials (about ten yards). The HUGE difference was in the height of the clubs and the approach angle. These clubs are WAY higher than my old clubs and land very nice with just one bounce and some noticeable spin on the range. The old clubs would hit and run out a distance which for me was inconsistent. Haven't had them on the course yet but am waiting patiently. These clubs have a nice look to them and arrived in excellent shape after purchasing them "very good"
Bought these irons a few days ago. I purchased the 4-PW,AW set with stiff, steel shafts. Said they were in VERY GOOD condition and they meant it, the clubs are in great shape. The minute I held these irons in my hand they just felt so much better than the irons I had before. I played a round with them and every shot I hit was true to the club and only went left or right of the target because of me being misaligned. They just put the ball into the air so easily and fly on a great trajectory. I am a mid handicapper and will be making my way to low handicapper with the help of these clubs... BUY THEM
Ordered these clubs earlier this week for next day delivery, came in on time for my league play today. My old clubs were hand me downs since i dont know many lefties and i've never played more than once or twice a year. This year im playing 2-3 times per week and after using these clubs today my strokes have dropped 5, i have some increased accuracy, great chipping, and amazing power. I would suggest these clubs to anyone looking to step their game up to the next level.
After upgrading from the burner plus irons, i can't believe how consistent my game has become. as a 20+ handicap i routinely hit it off centre, and these clubs truly seem to deliver the same result on off centre hits. they get the ball up in similar fashion, but the accuracy and consistency is unmatched. Highly recommend

The Safe Routes to School program promotes the providing of fresh air and exercise to our children by giving them a safe environment in which to walk or bike to school. As obesity is reaching epidemic levels, this program has the potential to improve the living habits of an entire generation of schoolchildren. It also helps reduce fuel consumption and air pollution.
In 2000, inspired by the successful sustainable transportation experiment in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, I brought together the federal Departments of Transportation, Education, and Health and Human Services and bicycling advocates to explore this idea.
In 2005, Congress approved $612 million for a national Safe Routes to School program as part of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), a landmark surface transportation funding bill.
The program makes funding available to states and communities for activities such as installing or upgrading sidewalks and bicycle paths, efforts to calm traffic and reduce speed, pedestrian and bike crossing projects, and traffic diversion programs in the vicinity of schools.
With the cooperation of federal, state, municipal, and local school officials, as well as parents and dedicated volunteers, we can help establish Safe Routes to School programs throughout this country and help our children live healthier lives.
— U.S. Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-Minn.) is chairman of the House Transportation Committee

By Loren Pritchett, ChildFund staff writer
To build awareness around World Water Day on March 22, ChildFund is asking its Twitter followers to compose their best tweets to shed light on the issues of water insecurity for children around the world.
Starting March 18, ChildFund's Twitter followers are encouraged to "tweet out" about water issues or ways to solve them. The individual who tweets the most inspiring message will have a 1,000 liter water tank delivered in their honor to a family in Mexico (valued at $190). Four runners-up will each have an apple tree seedling and a watering can delivered in their honor to a child in Ethiopia (valued at $15). Both prizes will be sent from our Gifts of Love & Hope catalog; plus, all winners will receive a piece of ChildFund swag!
How to Enter:
Get Inspired
Think of yourself as a World Water Day ambassador. We encourage each tweeter to think of a short but compelling message to inform their followers of the issues of water insecurity – especially for children. Think of the kids who fall ill from drinking unsanitary water; the farmers in drought-stricken regions who have lost their livelihoods during dry conditions and therefore cannot provide nutritious food to their children; or the young people who walk 4 miles multiple times a day to collect water.
Sample Tweets to Get You Started
Start Tweeting Today!
The five-day tweet-off runs until 11:59 (ET) Friday, March 22 (World Water Day). A panel of ChildFund staff members will choose the top five tweets and we'll announce the winner and four finalists on Monday, March 25, 2013. Remember: we cannot see your tweets without the hashtag #Water4Children.
The Rules in One Easy List
It's that simple – tweet out! Do your part to build awareness; join the conversation and get people talking about World Water Day and why children deserve clean water.

Roanoke, I think this is a post anyone with some brains should just stay out of. the man got 4 carries and hes garbage. These people are turning into Zombies.. Same old sky is falling this person sucks the team blows. BLUH BLUH BLUH. You can tell who the true Giant fans are.
Whats done is done, I agree before we can crucify the kid he needs more attempts to better evaluate his role in this offense, I have said many times that if they don't let him block for eli ever y now and then, teams are going to smell run and stack the box every time he is in. A simple play action fake with wilson in the back field would throw the redskins safties off so badly both nick and cruz would blow the top of the coverage down field before they realize its a fake.
Spolied milk just forget about it.
The saints sunday!
Now back to the draft section for me.

@RuebenRandle @OBJ_3 @Giants
Randle on the other hand is returning punts (gotta have a lot of trust in your punt returner) and also playing on the offense. For some reason Wilson is not "getting it". Too soon to call him a bust, but man...

Reviews of this property
Good location, very clean house and very nice people. greetings and thanks for all the children!
Buena ubicación, casa muy limpia y gente muy agradable. gracias por todo y saludos a los niños!
I had a wonderful time at Zeljana's place, she is very nice and her apartment is perfect for two people: clean, nice and well situated (5 minutes from the port and the supermarket). I would definitly go back there.
Very nice apartment with a small terrace and nice view. It's a 10 min walk up the hill from the centre. Quiet residential neighbourhood. Good price/quality, there is supermarket around the corner and nice and helpful owners.
Small and okay but really no jewel. Unfortunately very loud which can be extremely unpleasant, depending on roommates. As regards the situation I imagine that the old town is elsewhere. For people with low demands completely okay, very nice hostess.
Klein und okay aber wirklich kein Schmuckstück. Leider sehr hellhörig was je nach Mitbewohnern äußerst unangenehm sein kann. Was die Lage betrifft bilde ich mir ein, dass die Altstadt woanders ist. Für Leute mit geringen Ansprüchen vollends okay, Gastgeberin sehr nett.
Apartment has everything you need and is in a great location overlooking the "Pakleni Islands". Zeljana was very friendly and took the time to welcome us and provide us with the town and its attractions such as Advising beaches. Always recommended again!
Appartment hat alles was man braucht und befindet sich in einer tollen Lage mit Blick auf die "Pakleni Otoci". Zeljana war überaus freundlich und nahm sich die Zeit uns willkommen zu heißen und uns mit dem Ort und seinen Sehenswürdigkeiten wie z.B. Strände zu beraten. Immer wieder gerne zu empfehlen!
Very nice apartment, short walk to beach and old town, very pleasant owner!
Sehr schöne Wohnung, kurze Wege zu Strand und Altstadt, sehr angenehme Vermieter!
Super comfortable apartment very clean. We were well received. . Not 5 stars because the flow wifi was terrible
Super appartement très confortable très propre . Nous avons été bien reçu.
. Pas 5 étoiles car le débit du wifi était pas terrible
The studio apartment is very spacious and has a small balcony with a view over the sea. It is well situated with supermarkets and restaurants close by. Walking to the city center takes less than 10 minutes and so does walking to a nice beach. Lovely location and lovely apartment!
A few things that may or may not matter to everyone: because it is an area with many apartments and everyone likes to sit out on their balconies late in the evening the area can be a bit noisy.
The Internet connection in the apartment was not always very reliable and the satelite tv did not work.

Marin is getting juiced, but in a good way.
Just a few weeks ago, Pressed Juicery opened at the Marin Country Mart in Larkspur. Now Juice Shop is set to open at Corte Madera Town Center in the next two months.
Owned by three Marin brothers raised in Tiburon and Corte Madera, Charlie, Ben and Jacob Gulick, as well as Charlie Gulick's wife, Lina, Juice Shop features fresh, organic juices hydraulically pressed in San Francisco daily. It includes cleanses and fruit and vegetable juices such as pineapple-pear chia, beta beet, coco-chlorophyll, fresh almond milk and liver-aid.
When Charlie Gulick was diagnosed with a rare liver condition, he decided to treat it by changing his diet to be strictly raw vegan with an emphasis on detoxifying juices. After regaining his health, he cofounded Juice Shop, which has two locations in San Francisco and also offers delivery daily in San Francisco and Marin.
"We have been looking for a spot that is easily accessible to everyone and this is the perfect fit for us," says said Charlie Gulick who lives in Mill Valley. "I am psyched to be able to bike less than a mile away from my house to get my dose of juice and other healthy grab and go snacks that we are looking to stock the shop with."
The glass-bottled juice comes in 16-ounce containers, and elixirs are available in 2 to 4 ounces. Prices range from $8 to $10 with a $2 deposit. Cleanses start at $62.50 a day, which includes six juices and two elixirs, plus a $12 deposit.
The Juice Shop will be at 221 Corte Madera Town Center, between Z Gallerie and the Container Store, in Corte Madera. Go to www.juiceshopsf.com for more information.
New and natural
Since Sausalito's Real Foods Co. closed two years ago, former manager Adam Driver worked tirelessly to bring back a natural food store that serves that not only offers healthy products, but also is a gathering place. On May 1, Diver will open Driver's Market in the same location, 200 Caledonia St.
"This store has always been a connector in the community, and people are very excited to have it back," Driver says. A true family project, Driver's father is an investor and Driver's older brother Eric, a contractor, and younger brother Graham helped build the store from the ground up. Sausalito's Paul Geffner, founder of San Francisco's Escape from New York Pizza and Purity Organic Juices, is also a major investor.
Driver's Market plans to source directly from local growers and specialty purveyors.
"Northern California is a mecca for organic farming, microbreweries, cheese makers, wine. We want to support local producers who are making foods with craft and integrity," Driver says.
Driver is planning a grand opening block party at some point. For information, call 729-9582.
Diva departs
Get your succulent chicken wings while you still can. The contract for the pop-up Chicken Diva inside the Jackson Cafe at Whistlestop has not been renewed, so the last day to get your soulful chicken dinners from chef-owner Rachael Griffin will be May 11.
The farewell dinner will be a Southern-style picnic-themed meal, "Poetry and Poultry," at 6 p.m. for $69.
Griffin has no immediate next location, but doesn't plan to stop cooking her signature chicken.
The Chicken Diva is at 930 Tamalpais Ave. in San Rafael. The dinner is by ticket admission only; call 259-1253 for reservations.
Marin sips
Taste a rare collection of newly released Marin-grown wines and support Marin Agricultural Land Trust at the annual Marin County Wine Celebration.

The event is $55 and includes valet parking, wine and cheese tastings, and a wine glass. Only those 21 years of age and older may attend.
Escalle Winery is at 771 Magnolia Ave. in Larkspur. For more information and to reserve your place, go to www.malt.org.

Fact Sheet
Desert Tortoise
What Defenders Is Doing to Help Desert Tortoises
Defenders was influential in having the Mojave population of the desert tortoises listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 1989 and 1990, and in having its Critical Habitat designated in 1994.
Over the past several decades, Defenders has been and continues to be an outspoken advocate for conservation of desert tortoises – both their habitats and existing populations. Defenders staff have challenged many federal, state and local government agency programs and permits allowing for excessive human activities and developments in desert tortoise habitats, and rallied our supporters to do the same. These challenges have addressed excessive and improper livestock grazing, off-road vehicle use, military base expansion and renewable energy generation and electrical transmission projects.
Defenders has two full-time staff biologists dedicated to conservation of the natural biological communities in the Mojave Desert region, including remaining populations of the threatened desert tortoise and its habitat. Our most challenging work now involves large-scale solar energy projects planned in remote desert landscapes that support significant numbers of desert tortoises. We spend considerable time trying to convince solar energy companies to locate their projects to degraded lands with little or no long-term conservation value for desert tortoises. We also work closely with federal and state agencies to develop policy decisions on solar energy projects that will protect important desert tortoise populations and their habitats. As a last resort, Defenders legally challenges agency decisions approving large-scale renewable energy projects that threaten desert tortoises, their habitat and their future recovery.
In California, Defenders actively supports the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in developing a desert tortoise recovery action plan for habitat located in California. As a member of the recovery plan implementation team, Defenders staff has an opportunity to recommend implementing professional, science-based recovery actions to address the most serious threats facing the species and its remaining habitat.

Cascade Chainbreaker race is 'wheelie' big
Bend mtn. bike race attracts hundreds of athletes, spectators
BEND, Ore. - Hundreds braved the early heat, intense turns and obstacles Saturday for the 16th annual Cascade Chainbreaker Mountain Bike Race.
There were quite a few wrecks and spills on the cross-country course northwest of Bend, where racers of all ages and skill level did laps ranging from just a mile to more than 30 miles.
The race was hosted and sponsored by Webcyclery.
One Bend woman was watching her husband and son race.
She said she was excited to see them compete, and is glad the race is no longer held on Mother's Day.
"This year it's on Saturday, and the boys have to figure out what they're going to do tomorrow, instead of bringing me to a bike race," she said.
"It's awesome," said another woman who was watching her first mountain bike race. It's so fun to watch, to see. I wish I could get out there and race, but I don't have enough guts to."
The race is also a fundraiser for Central Oregon Trail Alliance; a group that maintains local trails and educates users.

Thanks 4 your reply .If I miss the lights in Alaska, I will go 2 Tasmania for the Southern ones. Maybe
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks 4 your reply .If I miss the lights in Alaska, I will go 2 Tasmania for the Southern ones. Maybe
Should I thank each person for a reply? What is the correct etiquette here? Thank you for your welcome.
My research tells me- Feb 9 and Mar10, 2013 best nights (dark moon) to see the lights. Could you please ask your Granddaughter do they get a good showing in this months? Yes it is going to be very cold, may as well get the full experience of Alaska and my moneys worth. Thanks x
Lived in Alaska for 54 years before moving to Florida in 2007- Your picking the coldest time of the year for a visit. Northern lights can be a hit or miss, nights have to be clear and then they are usually very cold. As for quilt shops, Anchorage has a few (look in yellow pages) Kenai has the "Kenai Sewing Center" which was packed to the gills last time I was there. They have just too much to drool over. Small store in Seward (where I had lived) there was one in Palmer & Wasilla, Eagle River, but who knows what has changed since I lived there. Enjoy your visit & welcome to the board.
The Northern Lights if out will be seen best not in the city near street lights. If you are in a nice unlite spot you will see the beautiful light "show" much better.
Meanwhile enjoy the show below...
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
'Silver Thimble" in Ketchikan
'Russian Tailor' in Skagway
Sitka has a great little quilt shop!
When i visied Alaska in early February several years ago, there was only 15 minutes of sunlight a day. The days were a gray cloudy color temperatures were 72 degrees below zero and they had at least 4 to 5 feet of snow on the ground. It is beautiful but as others have stated dress very warm and remember to plug in your vehicle when not in use.
Blessed be
My DD had a contract job in Bethel, Alaska for three months. She will never go to such a remote area again to have to live there but said Anchorage was nice to visit.
Got fabric?
We have friends who live in Alaska.............both couples, WINTER 7 mo. in Arizona.

Who let the dogs out?
*woof!* ...*woof!* *woof!* *woof!*?
ummmmmm :sign0017:
I'm confused?
I don't see any dogs on this page.
Its a rap song, by "Baha Men" The song is called "Who let the dogs out" (they just repeat that like 50 times) :lol:
So is there an answer to who let out the dogs?
Or does the question forever remain unanswered?
for ever and ever will this question last! its like the song that never ends... it goes on and on my friend. lol
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever....because this is the song that doesn't end
The thing is... when the song was written it was back in the early 90's... the actual answer was a separate song that was going to be on Side B of the vinyl 45 the release was due for... then they stopped making vinyl records right before the single came out... it was never released.
So it stands to remain... we will never, truly, know who let the dogs out.
Oh, and if you believe this horse dookie have I got a muffler bearing for you! high performance, won't use it and will sell it super cheap! Fits almost every application, let me know what you have and I'll tell you if it will fit.
Incidentally - one of my best friend's favourite songs.
Separate names with a comma.

Deschutes Co. workers save man's life with CPR, AED
Police, medics credit quick, life-saving action
Deschutes County officials revealed Wednesday that Community Development Department workers used their CPR training and an automated external defibrillator machine to save a man's life earlier this month.
Here's the county's news release on the incident:
On Thursday, November 7 at approximately 10:15 a.m., a regular customer (contractor) of the Deschutes County Community Development Department (CDD) was driving southbound on the parkway with a friend.
The friend (in the passenger seat) became seriously ill from a medical issue, became unconscious and non-responsive while the truck was in motion.
The car was near the La Fayette exit and the driver, knowing that he needed to call 9-1-1, got off the parkway and pulled into the CDD parking lot because he knew staff in the building and felt confident they could help. He came into the building after calling 9-1-1 to see if staff had an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) machine.
Permit Technician Martha Shields ran to get the AED while the contractor was on the phone with 9-1-1.
Permit Technician Judy Hackett alerted Building Inspector Randy Scheid, who alerted Code Enforcement Technicians John Griley and Tim Grundeman, that assistance was needed immediately. CDD Administrative Manager Lori Furlong heard the request for the AED and proceeded outside to help.
John, Tim, Randy and Lori helped get the man out of the truck and lay him flat on the ground. Deschutes County contract daycare provider Munchkin Manor employee Dana Laite saw the commotion and immediately began performing CPR on the man, taking turns with John. Bend Police arrived on scene and used the AED as EMS (Bend Fire Department) arrived. After quite some time, EMS stabilized the man and transported him to St. Charles Medical Center.
EMS and Bend PD both credited the efforts of the immediate CPR the man received by CDD staff and having the AED device, in saving the man's life. They were very impressed that Dana and CDD staff responded immediately with CPR care, instead of merely waiting for EMS to arrive on the scene.
The driver/companion to the ill man stopped into CDD offices later the same day to commend all who helped in the emergency, and said that his friend was still alive and in the hospital. Soon after his hospitalization, the man/patient was released from St. Charles Medical Center and is doing very well.
AED's in every Deschutes County building…In 2004 Commissioner Mike Daly proposed to Risk Management staff that a program should begin to equip all Deschutes County's facilities with automated external defibrillators. After providing the commissioners with a plan and estimates, $10,000 per year was allocated for this project and Risk began purchasing AED's in 2005 and completed the project in 2012.
Fast-forward to 2013 - there is an AED on each floor of every building owned and occupied by Deschutes County staff. Currently, Risk manages an inventory of 34 AED's. This does not count all of the AED's that the Sheriff's Office has in their facilities and in their patrol vehicles. Now AED's are included in all new Deschutes County construction projects.

Yes, I would have a problem with that. The Giants really don't need the Tebow show to come back to NYC playing a position that he probably don't have any experience playing. Tebow belong to losing teams like the Jets not Giants. I think Tebow show might be a distraction. There is a reason why the Jets got Tebow right after the Giants won the Superbowl.
He is excellent on special teams and can be used sparingly for short yardage. I wouldn't mind if he came cheap.

The incidence of type 2 diabetes is on the rise, which experts largely attribute to the rise in obesity. Type 2 diabetes, which is responsible for 90 to 95% of all diabetes cases, is more common in adults, but as rates of childhood obesity increase, more young children are being diagnosed with the disease. The good news is that simple lifestyle changes can prevent and, in some cases, counter the course of this disease.
Following digestion, a hormone called insulin is released into the blood from the pancreas. Among insulin's primary roles is its ability to allow carbohydrates (absorbed in the form of glucose) and proteins to enter muscle cells, where they are stored or used for energy. With type 2 diabetes, some insulin is produced, but the body does not effectively use it. This condition is known as "insulin resistance" and prohibits glucose from entering the cells. In turn, blood glucose rises to abnormal levels in the blood. If unchecked for extended periods, elevated glucose levels lead to heart disease, kidney failure, blindness and nerve dysfunction.
Type 2 diabetes is strongly linked to lifestyle factors, especially diet and exercise. People at highest risk of developing type 2 diabetes have a family history, as well as other cardiovascular risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.
However, the same techniques that are used for prevention of this disease—a healthy diet and regular exercise—can be used to control and possibly reverse its progression.
The latest research has put exercise at the forefront in the prevention, control and treatment of diabetes because it decreases insulin resistance. Following regular exercise training, cells can better respond to insulin and effectively take glucose out of the blood and into the cell. Exercise also helps to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease by decreasing blood pressure, cholesterol levels and body fat.
If you have type 2 diabetes, you should adhere to the following exercise guidelines:
If you have type 2 diabetes, you must monitor your glucose before and after exercise to understand how you respond to certain types of activities. Also, exercising with a partner and wearing an ID bracelet indicating one's diabetic condition are very important.
Finally, don't forget to check with your physician prior to beginning a physical-activity program and return regularly to assess the diabetic complications. If complications of the eyes, kidney or heart are present, your physician should provide you with clear boundaries regarding the intensity of any physical activity.

Life at Crystal Cove is slow and soulful. Ocean waves sweep toward a solitary lifeguard chair as the setting sun casts a fiery glow on its orange seat. Beachgoers remain planted in the sand, relishing the last rays of light. And a sense of simplicity surrounds the cove's vintage cottages. They're not even visible from the blufftop highway that snakes down the Southern California coast.

"I'll Have a Tall Blonde, Please!"
You say Starbucks®. I think…top-tier brand. Defiantly stubborn in their tradition of quality. I think…innovative product marketing. America's specialty coffee lexicon. I think…unbelievable product and customer experience consistency (excluding airports, hotels, and cafeterias, of course). Starbucks equals decommoditization of coffee, circa 1990.
Starbucks is clearly a coffee industry leader. But what gives with their announcement last month of calling light roasts "blonde?!"
Interestingly, their Breakfast Blend, on shelves for years now at almost every grocery store in America, has always been a light roast. So why put so much attention on a new light roasted coffee? A light roast is about as un-innovative as product marketing gets. So why are they doing this?

Is she a Katy Perry-styled pop princess? A sultry Swedish sex symbol? A frenetic former aerobics instructor? Or is she just a pissed off ex-girlfriend with a giant chip on her shoulder?
At her first New Zealand show, Robyn proved to be all of those things, and more: Just like the video for her break out hit Handle Me, her brand of ridiculously energetic and feisty synth-pop can't be put into any kind of box.
That's thanks to a career packed with kooky girl power hits that push pop's boundaries into hip-hop, disco, reggae, funk and indie-electronica territories, and she proceeded to use them to work the Powerstation's sold out crowd into a frenzy from beginning to end.
She barely paused for breath during the 90-minute show, which included two encores, an occasionally blinding lighting show, a live band that resembled a team of mad scientists, and more aerobics workouts than a Suzy Aitken fitness video.
Robyn thrilled throughout, whether she was mixing the robotic rave-funk of We Dance to the Beat into the the bolshy Don't F***ing Tell Me What To Do, getting loud and rawkish on the shouty stomp of Indestructible or proving her 'I am woman, hear me roar' credentials during Cobrastyle.
She mixed things up too, showing off her robo-rap skills on Konichiwa Bitches (which came with the great line aimed at a dodgy ex: "I'll ice you, son"), getting all anthemic on crowd favourite Call Your Girlfriend, and even ending the show with her 1997 hit Show Me Love, a song taken from the 33-year-old's early beginnings as a cheesy pop-R&B chart prospect.
She tossed out midset highlights, like the claustrophobic dubsteppy stride of None of Dem and the dubby reggae lope of Dancehall Queen, like they were castoffs, showing just how prolific she's been thanks to 2010's three Body Talk releases.
But nothing could top Dancing On My Own, a shimmering power pop ballad that will probably go down as the biggest sing-along experienced yet at the Powerstation, and for the only time in the show allowed Robyn a chance to sit down and catch her breath.
Handle Me was the only glaring omission and she had the help of a vocal backing track for most of the show, but you can't blame her: Robyn danced her arse off, performing like she was played to a crowd of 10,000, not the Powerstation's intimate size.
Next time, expect to see her funk up a much bigger venue.
Who: Robyn
Where: The Powerstation, Auckland
When: Thursday, October 4

Redirected from Use folds in your program
this wiki
It is convenient to temporarily fold away (hide) parts of your file, leaving only an outline of the major parts visible. This tip presents an overview of using folding.
Many programming languages have a syntax file that supports folding. Typically, each function is regarded as a fold that can be opened or closed. With all folds closed, you see only the first line of each function for an overview of the program.
Folding methodsEdit
To activate folding in your text, you will need to set the 'foldmethod' option.
'foldmethod' option (abbreviated to
'fdm') is local to each window. It determines what kind of folding applies in the current window. Possible values are:
manual– folds must be defined by entering commands (such as zf)
indent– groups of lines with the same indent form a fold
syntax– folds are defined by syntax highlighting
expr– folds are defined by a user-defined expression
marker– special characters can be manually or automatically added to your text to flag the start and end of folds
diff– used to fold unchanged text when viewing differences (automatically set in diff mode)
Manual foldingEdit
Normally it is best to use an automatic folding method, but manual folding is simple and useful for dealing with small folds. It is easy to fold an arbitrary block from visual mode by pressing '
v{motion}zf'. Alternatively, this can be used in normal mode, after
zf'a for example will fold from the current line to wherever the mark a has been set, or
zf3j will fold the next 3 lines. This allows you to see the section you've selected before you fold it. If you just want to enter a few folds in a program that uses braces around blocks (
{...}), you can use the command
va}zf to create a fold for the block containing the cursor. Use
zd to delete a fold (no text is deleted; the fold at the cursor is removed). A quicker way to create a block is with
zf{motion}, so the example fold mentioned earlier could also be typed
Indent foldingEdit
As noted above, with 'foldmethod' set to indent, lines with the same level of indentation will be folded together. Note this means text like this:
Line one Line two Line three Line four
will be folded as follows, which may not be expected:
Line one + Line two and three Line four
Since folding by indent may not be as clear as you like, the foldcolumn is especially useful for this method. Setting foldcolumn to at least the level of folds you want displayed will show a sidebar, in which you can see which lines in the file can be folded, or are already folded, with a '+' (closed) or '-' (open) indicator.
Syntax foldingEdit
:setlocal foldmethod=syntax. Many syntax files define folding based on the language syntax, although you may need to enable it by setting syntax file options. If a specific syntax file doesn't define folding, you can define your own.
Note that this particular fold method especially may define too many folds for your liking. You can change this using the 'foldnestmax' option, by setting it to a value low enough for your liking.
Indent folding with manual foldsEdit
If you like the convenience of having Vim define folds automatically by indent level, but would also like to create folds manually, you can get both by putting this in your vimrc:
augroup vimrc au BufReadPre * setlocal foldmethod=indent au BufWinEnter * if &fdm == 'indent' | setlocal foldmethod=manual | endif augroup END
The first autocommand sets
'indent' as the fold method before a file is loaded, so that indent-based folds will be defined. The second one allows you to manually create folds while editing. It's executed after the modeline is read, so it won't change the fold method if the modeline set the fold method to something else like
'marker' or
Folding by expressionEdit
This is the most complicated, but also the most powerful fold method. You can use it to fold in pretty much any way you desire. For example, you could fold away text not matching a regular expression. See :help 'foldexpr' for details.
Folding with markersEdit
Setting foldmethod to "marker" is similar to manual folding, because you can use zf and zd to add/remove folds, and all folds are defined manually. However, it works by adding special markers to your buffer text so that the same folds can be loaded by anyone opening the file in Vim. The markers are defined by the 'foldmarker' option, which defaults to three consecutive open curly braces to start a fold and three consecutive closed curly braces to end a fold. This method is mostly useful when the other options don't give satisfactory results, either because a syntax file does not define folding, you want to break up a file into logical portions instead of syntactical constructs, or you are folding plain text in some way.
If you change the default 'foldmarker' setting, be sure to communicate the correct setting to other people in some way. An especially effective method for this would be to use a modeline, so that most Vim users will get your intended settings by default when they edit the file.
Diff foldingEdit
This foldmethod should never be set manually without very good reason. It is the default fold method when using Vim in diff mode. Simply running any of the commands to put Vim in diff mode will set this option for you. It works by folding away lines that do not differ between the buffers in the diff, so that you can focus on the lines with differences. Note that you can tweak the number of lines to leave unfolded, using the 'diffopt' option.
If you want folding in diff/patch files, see Folding for diff files instead.
Opening and closing foldsEdit
The command
zc will close a fold (if the cursor is in an open fold), and
zo will open a fold (if the cursor is in a closed fold). It's easier to just use
za which will toggle the current fold (close it if it was open, or open it if it was closed).
The commands
zc (close),
zo (open), and
za (toggle) operate on one level of folding, at the cursor. The commands
zO and
zA are similar, but operate on all folding levels (for example, the cursor line may be in an open fold, which is inside another open fold; typing
zC would close all folds at the cursor).
The command
zr reduces folding by opening one more level of folds throughout the whole buffer (the cursor position is not relevant). Use
zR to open all folds.
The command
zm gives more folding by closing one more level of folds throughout the whole buffer. Use
zM to close all folds.
Mappings to toggle foldsEdit
With the following in your vimrc, you can toggle folds open/closed by pressing F9. In addition, if you have
:set foldmethod=manual, you can visually select some lines, then press F9 to create a fold.
inoremap <F9> <C-O>za nnoremap <F9> za onoremap <F9> <C-C>za vnoremap <F9> zf
Here is an alternative procedure: In normal mode, press Space to toggle the current fold open/closed. However, if the cursor is not in a fold, move to the right (the default behavior). In addition, with the
manual fold method, you can create a fold by visually selecting some lines, then pressing Space.
nnoremap <silent> <Space> @=(foldlevel('.')?'za':"\<Space>")<CR> vnoremap <Space> zf
In the first mapping for Space,
@= refers to the expression register (:help @=). The following expression is evaluated when Enter is pressed (
<CR>). The value of
foldlevel('.') is determined (the fold level at the current line, or zero if the current line is not in a fold). If the result is nonzero (true), the result is
'za' (toggle fold); otherwise it is
"\<Space>", which evaluates back to the default behaviour of the <Space> key (move forward by one character). :help expr1
Saving folds before closing vimEdit
Vim provides a good mechanism called
view. You can use it to save a fold. See Make views automatic. You may also want to use plugin restore_view.vim.
Commands over foldsEdit
Folds can be created using one of the methods described above. Then, all the folds can be closed using
zM. Now, commands can be executed on each line that is folded, using
:folddoc <command>. Reopen the folds using
zR to see the results.
- Todo: Explain how a command stored in a register can be executed this way. Ctrl-r, followed by the register name does not appear to execute the set of keystrokes for each line that is folded?
