Voting Starts Now May Hotrodders,com Art Contest "50's Lead Sleds" Anything Goes
Last month the Hotrodders.com Art Contest wound up with a first time winner in this talent-fest. Brickyardboy dropped in a wicked scary movie car to top the polling. His choice was between a contest of Roth Style "Rat Fink" or a Full Chopped, Channeled, Sectioned "Lead Sleds Of The 50's", as we had done one similar before the "lead Sleds" got the nod for the subject matter this month and we are again in voting mode with some great artwork by many users we see all the time here and newbies to it. Take any style of art and there is substance to all the work, even if you crayon something, its art and all deserve some fine mentions.
The contest begins now May 26th and ends in 5 days "Memorial Day" to all the vet's out there and the people serving our country with the poll closing automatically and another chance for a winner to choose the subject matter of the next coming contest of June.
Please feel free to Vote, Comment, add anything you like to the polls as the artists worked hard to get some fine artwork involved for new desktops and images to look over and possibly try next contest for inspiration.
Artists renderings are listed in post order some have more than one and also please make sure to check the larger images from the links below the artists image to see more detail if there is one, images have been made smaller to make loading faster.
Enjoy Guys and Members !!
Vote Now For The Image You Like By Any Artist:
1 ) evil dead:
Registered User
Buick Lead Sled:
Member "Evil Dead" enters into the contest as he has before with his own style of making a lead sled different using photo manipulation, chopping, channeling, dropping and subtle touches to refine an image that is already a classic, the total look of the car lends to the idea that less is more but the hints of customization are all over it, mainly his work on the portholes moving them and creating a smoother flow gives this idea some food for thought to would be "sled slammers".
2 ) fortypickup:
Wolf in Hot Rodders upholstery
1950 Ford, Slammed, Chopped, And Channeled "Lead Sled"
When an artist puts up an image and decides it's not going to be his entry, he has something in his drawing pad that will surely make a statement, this he did with the classic Merc "Lead Sled" of the era, this is the optimized version from his graphics chamber of tools. At first glance it almost looks like a photo but closer, it shows his rendering work we have seen him do so well with. The expert channeling, chopping and details make this the ultimate in Merc sled work. the colors blast out as a ruby red with custom flames and a hint of sparkles that relay the flake that may be in the paint, the Bonneville flats caps have the smooth reflections of the proper use of color to create the real chrome effect, browns, blues and touches of burnt oranges make this work well, the coon tail and frenched in grill area, shaved handles and of course the lakes pipes are all part of the genre', what a nice clean piece of work by this artist.

3 ) 57Corvette :
Rat Rod Studios
Golden Buick Lead Sled "Twilight"
A busy man is 57 Corvette, long time member of this contest and winner many times over has shown this image before but has made changes to it and it works even better than it did before, this gorgeous photo manipulation gives this member a chance to use some of the finest blending of color and contrast with that dark "Twilight" look most photographers try to capture in a short time frame. 57 Corvette opens his programs and blends in many images to create just one solid portrait with sharp lines, attention to details, "Notice The Clarity Of The Windows" and the striking bursts of light reflections. Again he tops himself using tools he has with his own style separating most from the norm.

Merc Lead Sled Old Skool "Gassin Up"
57 Corvettes second entry also has been seen before with the use of the gas station though this time it's a complete composition making more of a motif' or almost a full theme with the gas station taking most of the attention, the flamed Merc in the back getting gassed up is all part of the grand scheme in his artwork not sparing a pixel of unused space, from the highly detailed image, you get the bright stucco or paint of the gas station and the billowing clouds that provide the contrast needed to make it look almost like it has been flashed with a camera for a scene in a movie.

Massive Olds Custom "Lead Sled"
Last months winner Brickyardboy poses another threat with his colored artwork done by hand but this time he has found that "Sweet Spot" of adding movement and even a little lens distortion to make it pop out and bring you closer to the image by simple manipulation and tricks of the eye with horizontal and vertical dimensional proportions to enhance all the aspects and perspective of the subject. Pencil and pen work is hard and Brickyard is honing his skills each time he plays in the contest and adding to this, choosing an Olds for his content seemed like an awesome idea as it's catchy, clear and visually pleasing.
5 ) johnnyjalopy
Registered User
Rat Rod "Lead Sled"
Our newest player in the game is Johnny Jalopy, his profile says he's from Florida so his idea of a rusty "Lead Sled" may have been from something he has seen in his area where salt and rust wreak havoc on custom cars or he just wanted to make it a no billet style of artwork. Completely hand drawn, his image portrays the Ford Lead Sled featuring a Carson top and all the slamming needed to make it one low slung Mutha. Touches of rust make this seem like a garage find that will soon be coming to a body shop or driven with pride at any cruise time, a double plus for his artistic touches to make this drawing stand out for a first timer to the contest. Welcome.
6 ) Only Racing
On The Ragged Edge
Streetbeasts lawsuit donor
Buick Retro Rod "Lead Sled"
My addition to the contest was a rendering I did back awhile ago for the long and low contest, though I feel it's not fair to re-enter this without modifying it more, I lost the original PSD so it's just the same thing as before. I envisioned a sled based on the Buick and the T-Type or Grand National with a Smokin 572 crate, twin 88mm turbo's hanging off the engine and intercooled relieving the estimated 900 digital electronic fuel injected horsepower to a bagged suspension backed by a 6 speed manual trans to a narrowed Fab 9 sheetmetal rear and full black / grey tweed interior with carbon fiber accents instead of chrome. Adding on the massively deep Torque Thrusts and low profile tires give it a stance. This was all done using simple Photoshop selection tool, shapes, gradients, airbrush and styles, I'm hoping some of you may try it and join in !!

All of the entries are amazing. It gets harder and harder to pick just one! You all should win.
Nice work everybody! Extremely hard choice for me, and although I picked 1, there was (and still) a lot of second guessing and mind changing. I have a feeling that this is going to come down to the very end again.
I just love the fact that we have so many different types of media used in these.
Awesome job from everyone . I just love what you guy's can do .
Aww, Zero votes? I knew the portholes would have looked better lined up with the spindle, and then I could have pancaked the hood, sectioned the body, brought the rear end to the pavement and,... and .......and...
Seriously though, great show everyone, I had fun with this one and look forward to trying my hand at the next challenge.

Great job everyone! Nice work this month!
Welcome aboard Johnny, nice to see you over here!
Way to go guys top shelf job from every one again. Makes choosing difficult when there is such good talent involved.
Great job for everyone. It was hard to choose but choose I did. I really wanted to get in this one however time just wasn't on my side. The buicks hold a special spot in my heart since this will be my next car to build and I was looking for some ideas and I did get some, thanks guys. Phil
Wow, a tight race with the top three, it's anyones game now, again, alot of fun and missed all of the regulars. But this one surely is a winner.
Brickyards bangin lately, It's tough to get past true drawing skills, all of us have done it or would like to do it, and leaving out long learning curves for programs a set of markers, pens pencils still stands out in all of the members eyes.
Not to take anything away from any of the talented artists, It is my opinion that an "art" contest should be limited to hand drawing with crayons, markers, pencils, brushes and an airbrush. As beautiful as the fine images that are computer generated appear, They just don't have that hand drawn appeal to me. Great job guys - Looking forward to next months contest .
I think the biggest challenge for guys doing hand drawing is getting into media they can upload, taking pictures of paper is actually really hard if the light isn't right, scanning leaves a little to be desired in quality most of the time too.
BTW guys, there's a first ever three way tie going on, have been tie's before but never with three artists, congrats to all of you for a tough voting chioce. Three distinct different media's.

text: Hey guys, my son is thinking about buying a GMC Yukon with an "Altitude" trim package on it. I think he's suckered into the look of the truck with the wheels and tires it has on it. I've never heard of this package and can find no information on it. The truck just seems like a stripped down Yukon with leather interior. It has no extras like heated seats, steering wheel controls, sun roof, power adjustable pedals etc. It even had a smaller 4.8 engine. Does anyone know what the other differences this truck has over the regular Yukons ? Like I said it seems like a stripped down version and I think it would be a difficult vehicle to resell when he sells it. I would love some insight to this truck for you guys. Thanks in advance for your help.

Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps
This is my go-to turkey taco recipe. It's delicious and light – On nights I want to go low-carb, I forgo the taco shells and use lettuce wraps instead!
This is an oldie from the archives, but since I make this so often I thought I would update the photos just in time for taco Tuesday! It's naturally gluten-free, low-carb, and paleo & dairy-free without the cheese and sour cream. I find the outer leaves of Iceberg lettuce makes the best wraps, it's crisp and pliable and the leaves are large enough to make decent size wraps.
Add your favorite taco fixins such as shredded cheddar, light sour cream, chives, black olives, jalapeno, tomatoes or whatever you like on your tacos. The portions are generous, and if you're kids want shells, you can easily bake a few for them and use the same filling.
Making your own taco seasoning is a healthier alternative to buying packaged taco seasoning, and uses less sodium, no sugar, no preservatives and no msg. It also saves you money if you are on a budget. If you prefer to use the package seasoning, simply replace it with the spices listed here.

text: Not much, or, i would have replied; "you must have a .45", because i assure you he was a .45 or nothing kinda guy. Most probable he would have ragged on the .40 cal as well. But to compare 9mm to a BB is quite interesting and probably a kindly joke or a case of total lack of knowledge of ballistics. By far 9mm is the most popular pistol caliber in the world and with premium hollowpoints and proper shot placement it does the job well and is what I carry. A .45 will give you about 20-30% larger wound channel given the same high end hollow point but if you place either in a vital area the bad guy is not going to have a good day and won't know the difference.

Deb, the boys and I took an afternoon out to head deep into the park on a hike to the old logging camp that was built in the 1800's.
After hiking through the fern covered forests, over the steep and rocky hills, and through the lowland swamps we arrived at a clearing in the dense forest... with a handful of buildings scattered on the edge of Mic Mac Lake.
The rest of our hike took us through squishy bogs,
After leaving the park we headed into Beaver Bay to grab a bite to eat... but were stopped by a colorful roadside rainbow of tables and tables of stuff for sale outside of an antique shop.

But after the mysterious death of their tour leader, the carefully laid plans fall apart, and disharmony breaks out among the pleasure-seekers as they come to discover that the Burma Road is paved with less-than-honorable intentions, questionable food, and tribal curses. Then, on Christmas morning, eleven of the travelers boat across a misty lake for a sunrise cruise - and disappear.
Drawing from the current political reality in Burma and woven with pure confabulation, Amy Tan's picaresque novel poses the question: How can we discern what is real and what is fiction, in everything we see? How do we know what to believe?
Saving Fish from Drowning finds sly truth in the absurd: a reality TV show called Darwin's Fittest, a repressive regime known as SLORC, two cheroot-smoking twin children hailed as divinities, and a ragtag tribe hiding in the jungle - where the sprites of disaster known as Nats lurk, as do the specters of the fabled Younger White Brother and a British illusionist who was not who he was worshipped to be.
With her signature "idiosyncratic, sympathetic characters, haunting images, historical complexity, significant contemporary themes, and suspenseful mystery" (Los Angeles Times), Amy Tan spins a provocative and mesmerizing tale about the mind and the heart of the individual, the actions we choose, the moral questions we might ask ourselves, and above all, the deeply personal answers we seek when happy endings are seemingly impossible.
©2005 Amy Tan; (P)2005 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"A superbly executed, good-hearted farce that is part romance and part mystery....With Tan's many talents on display, it's her idiosyncratic wit and sly observations...that make this book pure pleasure." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"one of my favorites"
This is a keeper! I'm on my second listen, and I am enjoying it even more than the first time. I am now playing it for my husband, and he likes it too.
"Slow Read"
Decent story, but takes too long for anything to happen, and it goes on forever. There are other, better stories by this author.
"Great book, shame about the narrator"
This well written book is intriguing from the start and promises to be an absorbing read. However, as an audio book it is very disappointing. Amy Tan is a wonderful writer but her narrating skills are not so developed. In addition to reading in a monotone, she eats her words and her sentences trail off to an almost inaudible point. I gave up on trying to listen to it when I realised I was getting tense with straining to hear her properly. If the only audio version of this book has Amy Tan as the narrator, I recommend full enjoyment of the story in print.
"A struggle to get through"
I almost gave up a couple of times, but my miserly ways got the best of me and I managed to finish it. The biggest problem with this book is the reader. I thought that having the author read her own work would be a plus instead of a minus, but it all comes down to competence. If you want a good audio book you need a skilled and experienced reader. A good reader brings life and believability to the story. They have to be able to create multiple personalities, both male and female, with different voices and different accents. Ms Tan unfortunately does not have this talent. She's especially bad at doing the male voices (no surprise). The story itself is also pretty bizarre and hard to get into. At the end of it all I found that I was glad I finished it, but it would have been so much better with a professional reader.
Growing up in England, surrounded by amazing literature, I was devastated when my eyesight made reading difficult. Audible is truly a gift.
"Not Pleased"
I love Amy Tan books, but this was a disappointment. It is hard to stay with and just sort of off. I'll always continue to follow Amy Tan, but I wish I had not bought this audio book.
"Wonderful voice"
I'll admit I had to fight the instinct to skip over all of Amy Tan's work as being "chick fiction," but I'm glad I didn't. The characterization and storytelling is rich and developed. The story is amusing and it truly does feel as if the reader is being told a story. As for Amy Tan's voice, the Asian and California accents are spot on and I found her tone conversational, which made the novel more enjoyable ... as if I were being told a story by someone who had been there.
"I Love Amy Tan"
I couldn't wait to start listening to this book. I am a huge Amy Tan fan. It was a good book but I didn't like it as much as her other novels. I found the characters to be a little boring and I didn't really understand the psychic interpretation, but its worth a credit. I recommend this book.
"Good story let down by narration"
Usually I like it when the author reads the story, but not for this book. Amy Tan's attempts at foreign accents were cringeworthy. Amy please stick to writing!
"Beyond tedious"
I got the audio for this book, which my book club was reading, since I was having such a hard time getting into the printed version. I figured if I was captive in a car as I made back to back three hour drives that I would be able to become immersed in the story. Unfortunately that did not prove to be the case. The book is painful - contrived, tedious, flat. I couldn't believe in the narrator at all, and believing in the narrator requires a big buy in from the beginning. The whole thing felt very forced.
"One of her best"
I love Amy Tan and this one is excellent. Kinda different but really well done.
"Truly terrible narration"
I found the narration of ?Saving Fish From Drowning? unbearable at times with a British accent an all time low. It is a shame as I normally find authors as narrators are very enjoyable. I found the subject matter of Burma interesting, but I didn?t really like or care about any of the characters or the mystery. It was a real struggle to finish and an example of how bad narration can put you off a book and an author.
"Did not like Narrator"
Not a lot did not like the narrator nor the story line, read from the view of a dead person, introduction very long

Plants are arguably the most important organisms on Earth. They are the base of the food chain, ultimately providing every organism with energy and nutrients. But also they provide the oxygen organisms need to live. Plant conservation is imperative, and exploitation of plants for materials can destroy entire ecosystems.
Alternate leaf pattern – in a leaf, placed at different heights on the axis, on each side in succession, or at definite angular distances from one another
Bipinnately compound – having leaflets or primary divisions arranged on each side of a common stalk which are then arranged on each side of a larger stalk, as in a mimosa tree
Compound leaf – leaf that is divided into two or more distinct leaflets
Dichotomous – two divisions that contradict each other
Lobed leaf – leaves divided into segments with spaces between that do not reach the center
Margin (dendrology) – the edge of the leaf
Pinnately compound leaf – leaflets arranged along the mid-vein such as with the hickory and winged sumac
Serrated leaf – leaf with a bent, saw-like pattern along the edge
Simple leaf – leaf having one blade; or a lobed leaf in which the separate parts do not reach down to the midrib
Venation – arrangement of a vein system, as in an insect's wing or a leaf blade; some leaves have smaller veins branching out from larger ones in a pinnate or palmate pattern, while others have similar-sized veins running parallel along the length of the plant, connected by much smaller cross veins

Jérôme is currently responsible for the VIP Pass offerings for Eastern Europe, South Asia, Africa and Australia.
Nathalie Texier is appointed Sales Director, in charge of boosting services business in Western Europe, Oman, Bahrain, India and central and South America.

She is currently responsible for developing ACJC's maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) offerings.
Samuel Puginier is nominated Sales Director, in charge of boosting ACJC's services business in the Middle-East (except Oman and Bahrain), China and North America. Previously Sales & Contracts Manager for the outfitting activity within ACJC for five years, Samuel is currently in charge of developing the company's connectivity offerings.

"We have always been focussed on responding to the growing needs of our ACJ Customers in support and services, and reinforcing our team with experienced and cosmopolitan profiles will help us to go on doing that", says Bruno Galzin, Head of ACJC's Sales and Marketing team."Airbus Corporate Jet Centre paved the way in 2009 with the launch of the VIP Pass package.

Based in Toulouse, France, ACJC has already contracted with prestigious customers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It attributes its success to a strong technical background, plus highly skilled employees that have now completed thirteen ACJ cabins. Including former EADS Sogerma deliveries, Airbus Corporate Jet Centre is now the world leader for ACJ319/ACJ320 VIP cabin completion having delivered 24 VIP cabins for Airbus aircraft.

Kingsport Police need your help solving two crimes
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Kingsport Police need your help finding two people they say shoplifted from two different stores. Officers tell us the crimes happened at Walmart and Family Dollar.
Two different cases, one of them unique, and both have the Kingsport Police Department looking to the community for help.
Officers tell us the first happened October 8 at Walmart on Fort Henry Drive when a woman shoplifted a 60-inch flat screen TV in a motorized scooter. "[She was] pulling it behind her motorized scooter in a shopping buggy right out the front door," says Kingsport Police Public Information Officer Tom Patton.
Patton says the woman had to have help loading the TV from a Walmart employee or an accomplice. "I guess she was probably taking advantage of the fact that she was older, riding a scooter and probably looked a little more innocent than the typical shoplifter to help her commit her crime," adds Patton.
Patton says they got a good description of the suspect from the surveillance footage. "She is a heavy-set female, she looks to be probably at least in her 50s, she has gray hair, and she's wearing glasses," says Patton. Click here to read more.
On the other side of town Kingsport Police are also looking for someone who broke out the glass door at Family Dollar. "A male suspect smashed in the front door with a rock. He hits it several times with a rock then reaches in and unlocks the door," adds Patton.
Patton says that break-in happened on October 12 around 4 a.m. He says the suspect took razors, shaving cream, and cologne. "We have a $400 glass door destroyed in order to steal less than $50 of merchandise," says Patton.
Patton tells us the suspect in the Family Dollar break-in was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, red athletic shorts, and black high-top sneakers. There is a photo of him in the Related Content to the left.
Now they are hoping someone in the community will recognize the suspects and give the police information so they can make an arrest.
If you have any information you're asked to contact the Kingsport Police Investigations Division at (423) 229-9429.

Re: Shop smart
I prefer to cook from fresh where possible, but due to working 12 hour shifts I often don't feel like cooking by the time I get home, or need to take something that can be heated in the microwave. So it's a good idea (if possible) to have a day of cooking, where you can make meals and then freeze them so at least you're getting a decent meal in the evening, and ingredients aren't left in the fridge for days and going off.

I wish we had the range of frozen fish that seems to be available in the UK. It used to be just salmon but recently I've found dory and ling. This is plain fish without flavouring or crumbs or batter.

But I prefer to buy loose vegetables and fruit so that I can chose exactly ehat I like.
A tip on fresh fruit and veggies from the supermarkets, usually the loose ones are cheaper per kg than pre packed, so worth checking and taking the 30 seconds to pack your own. Also you tend to buy what you need, rather than a bag that maybe to big!

welcome to the forumrobinson196
I have to say that I dont often buy the prepacked veg as I usually have a vegetable box delivered , but yes the loose vegetables are often cheaper than the prepacked ones.
But not always .. those odd shaped and miss sized ones are in the cheaper range sometimes cheaper than the loose ones you pick yourself and taste just as good.
I always buy loads of vegetables as I am Vegetarian but I do get yur point about just buying what you need .

Brilliant stuff, thanks everyone. Keep them coming!
Hi Merlin,
I tend to do as much cooking and food prep as possible on a Sunday morning for the week. Then I freeze the dinners that need freezing so I have a "Ready meal" for the nights I don't have time to cook from scratch (cooking double batches also means that I have a few dinners for when I don't have time to cook at all as happens some weeks).
I also chop up all my veg and store it in plastic containers so i can just take out what I need for each meal.... does that make sense?

Powdered/shelf-stable milk has gotten me out of a jam or two. I agree about canned tomatoes! We always have those on hand, as well as diced onions in the freezer.
It is important for me to always have flour and butter (or coconut oil). As a baker, I can come up with ANY number of things with these
I usually stock up on flours, and canned goods when on sale...I am a big fan of frozen vegetables and/or fruit, they are nice to have to round-out a meal or add nutrition to a casserole or dessert.

I'm a fan of powdered milk too. Great as emergency milk for cereal and I like the creaminess it gives to creamed rice.
We used to make up a chopped carrot, onion and celery mix for the freezer using the food processor when we used to use lots of that combination.

For the past 60 years doctors have been taught that iodine was important for the thyroid but nowhere else in the body and only in microgram amounts i.e. just enough to prevent goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland due to iodine deficiency. However, over the past 40 years, research by Bernard Eskin M.D. OB-GYN department at Drexel University and many others indicates that after the thyroid, the breasts and ovaries concentrate the most iodine of all other organs. The rest of the body's iodine is stored in the fat, muscle and skin. Adequate iodine is necessary for the development of normal breast architecture. Milk from lactating breasts contains four times more of the ingested iodine than the amount taken up by the thyroid gland. Research dating back to the 1970's indicates a definite relationship between fibrocystic breast disease (affecting two thirds of American women) and iodine deficiency. Fibrocystic breast disease is usually considered a benign condition however recent research shows that the cystic changes in breast structure may be a precursor to breast cancer. Iodine has been shown to be extremely effective in treating fibrocystic breast disease. It is actually the most researched essential nutrient in treating this condition.
The Estrogen-Iodine Breast Cancer Connection
Not only are the ovaries the primary source of estrogens in the body, they also have the second highest concentration of iodine. Iodine deficiency produces changes in the ovarian production of estrogen as well as changes in the estrogen receptors in the breasts. If there is a whole body deficiency of iodine, the ovaries will produce more estrogen and estrogen receptors in the breast increase their sensitivity to estrogen. These changes will increase the risk of developing pathological changes in the breast which can lead to breast cancer. Drs Stoddard, Eskin and colleagues reported in 2008: "We suggest that the protective effects of iodine/iodide on breast disease may be in part through the inhibition or modulation of estrogen pathways. Data presented suggests that iodine/iodide may inhibit the estrogen response through 1) up-regulating proteins involved in estrogen metabolism (specifically through increasing the liver detoxification of estrogens), and 2) decreasing BRCA1 inhibition thus permitting its inhibition of estrogen responsive transcription. These data open the way for further defining pathways impacted by the essential element, iodine, in the cellular physiology of extrathyroidal tissues, particularly the breast." They are now working to see if iodine/iodide can be used with Tamoxifen or as a substitute for it.
How Much Iodine for Breast Health?
The milligram amounts of iodine researched for fibrocystic breast disease over the past 30 years is over a thousand of times greater than the RDA of 150 micrograms (mcg) established in 1980. The Japanese daily diet of seaweed contains 12-13 milligrams of iodine. In coastal areas the daily iodine intake may be closer to 50 mg. These amounts are enough to give the average PCP or endocrinologist a fit of apoplexy since they are trained to believe that any amounts higher than the U.S RDA standard are "dangerous". The Japanese have one of the lowest rates of breast cancer in the world. To determine iodine deficiency, the World Health Organization uses a 24 hour urine test as they monitor iodine intake around the world. Research in 2012 in the journal Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes states: "Routine annual urinary iodine determination is recommended and should target type 2 diabetes patients at risk of thyroid dysfunction." Unfortunately urine iodine testing is not performed by the major laboratories s and doctors are not trained to order it. However there are several specialty labs in the US who do perform the test. This should be done before starting on an iodine program and be supervised by a knowlegable physician.
Recipe for Breast Health Disaster
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 1971-74 and 2000 showed that iodine levels have dropped 50% in the U.S. During this same time the amount of iodine related minerals (called halides) such as bromine (Mountain Dew, commercial baked goods, sports drinks, flame retardant in car upholstery and bedding, hot tubs, pesticides) chlorine derivatives such as perchlorate (contaminate in Colorado river water irrigating crops) and fluoride (fluorinated water, tooth paste) all of which block the beneficial iodine effects in all tissues of the body have increased exponentially. The NHANES survey of 1988-1994 indicated that 15% of U.S. women were iodine deficient based on urine levels, i.e. about one in seven women which roughly corresponds to current rates of breast cancer. Medical reports over the past 100 years indicate a relationship between hypothyroidism and breast cancer. Other studies show a two fold increase in breast cancer in women who take thyroid hormone replacement. It is time for a re-evaluation of this misunderstood essential nutrient.

text: Hello, after reading some threads on oil filters, some guys are using an PF63 in place of a PF48. Claiming that the extra filter media is the way to go. My biggest thing, is the filter being 0.75" longer worth the hassle if you ever had to go in for a warranty repair? I would gather that if you pulled into the dealer with engine complaints and they saw the wrong filter....... Also, there was a lot of talk about ecore AC filters. Something to do with a plastic cage instead of the steel tube? This resulted in the filter media tearing during use. I will have to check my PF48s when I get home.

text: I've been having problems with the wired with hooks wax foundation I purchased from Mann Lake fitting the frames I purchased from Mann Lake. The foundation is too tall. The bottom bars I'm using are grooved. You would think that a company would make sure their products fit together. When I called about it, the rep told me they have this problem every year or 2. They then readjust the foundation mill and things are okay for awhile. No apolgies, no sorry for your troubles. I'm having to cut wires and trim wax on every sheet of foundation. I like the free shipping from Mann Lake, but with this lack of quality control, I think they've seen their last purchase from me. Hand trimming 300 sheets of foundation is a pain in the butt! FYI, the foundation was purchased at different times, so the problem has been going on for awhile. Anyone else having any issues like this?

A hepatobiliary (HIDA) scan is an imaging procedure used to diagnose problems in the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts.
In the HIDA scan, a radioactive chemical or tracer is injected into a vein in your arm.
The tracer is handled by the liver like bile. Bile is a fluid produced and excreted by your liver that helps your digestive system break down fats in the foods you eat. Bile is stored in your gallbladder and the gallbladder releases the bile when you eat a meal.
A special nuclear medicine scanner (gamma camera) tracks the flow of the tracer from your liver into your gallbladder and small intestine.
The name HIDA comes from an early tracer used for the scan, hydroxy iminodiacetic acid. More effective tracers are used today.
Cholescintigraphy, hepatobiliary scintigraphy are other names for a HIDA scan.
A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan lets your doctor analyze the function of some of your internal organs. A SPECT scan is a type of nuclear imaging test, which means it uses a radioactive substance and a special camera to create 3-D pictures.
While imaging tests like X-rays can show what the structures inside your body look like, a SPECT scan produces images that show how your organs work. For instance, a SPECT scan can show how blood flows to your heart or what areas of your brain are more active or less active.

About the Author
Dilgo Khyentse (Rinpoche) (1910–1991) was one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist luminaries of the twentieth century. He was a highly accomplished meditation master, scholar, and poet, and a principal holder of the Nyingma lineage. Dilgo Khyentse was respected by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and was widely regarded as one of the greatest Dzogchen masters of his time. He taught many eminent teachers, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Dilgo Khyentse worked tirelessly to uphold the Dharma through the publication of texts, the building of monasteries and stupas, and by offering instruction to thousands of people throughout the world. His writings in Tibetan fill twenty-five volumes.
Dilgo Khyentse was born in 1910 in eastern Tibet to a family descended from the royal lineage of the ninth-century king Trisong Detsen. He was recognized as a tulku or incarnation by the illustrious teacher Mipham Rinpoche and was later enthroned as an emanation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, an important tertön (treasure-finder) and writer of the nineteenth century. At age eleven, he entered Shechen Monastery in Kham, one of the six main monasteries of the Nyingma School.
He had many great teachers, including his root guru, Shechen Gyaltsap. From age fifteen to twenty-eight, he spent his time meditating in silent retreat, living in isolated hermitages and caves, or under the shelter of overhanging rocks in mountains. He later spent many years with Dzongsar Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö (1893–1959), receiving empowerments and teachings.
In the late 1950s Dilgo Khyentse and his family fled Tibet and were welcomed in Bhutan by the Bhutanese Royal Family. He became the foremost Buddhist teacher in Bhutan, where he built stupas and statues, gave numerous teachings, and did retreat. In 1983 he founded Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Nepal, to continue the rich Shechen tradition of practice and study.
Rinpoche traveled throughout the Himalayas and the West, transmitting and explaining the teachings to his countless students. He was a dedicated exponent of the nonsectarian Rimé movement. His books have been translated into many Western languages, and his inspiration is still strongly felt today.

What's Cupping Best - Rwanda Nyamwenda
The new crop of Rwanda Nyamwenda from the COOPAC coffee cooperative is outstanding. Cultivated on the steep slopes of northern Rwanda's volcanic mountains above Lake Kivu, the rich soil, high altitude, and abundant rainfall yield a stellar coffee that is characterized by heavy tangerine flavor and an intense blackberry fruitiness and floral aroma. The bright acidity complements a well-balanced body that is laced with notes of rich molasses. Nyamwenda is a washing station that can be accessed by a boat ride across Lake Kivu. Read more »

Healani Farm: Third Place Winner in Kona Coffee Competition
Until 2006, Gary Williams combined all of the coffee harvested from his scattered Kona farms—regardless of quality—and sold it in bulk to a mill. Then, through an enlightening conversation with Paul Thornton, Coffee Bean International's Master Roaster, he realized that farms surrounding his Healani Farm were winning awards, and by blending coffee of exceptional quality with that of average quality, he might be missing out on an opportunity to offer some even better qualities and receive payment at the upper end of the market price range, for this improved quality.

text: My two deep hive made it through winter and a late spring. The bees have been very active during our sunny days, including today. However they are only using the top entrance, even when it's very crowded. I watched them today and the few bees that went in the bottom usually came right out. Others would look like they were going to land on the bottom board then appear to change their mind and fly up. I think the bees spent the winter in the top under the insulation. Will they eventually move down? Could there be a lot of dead bees or something else that would prevent them from using the bottom entrance? I have the bottom entrance reducer at the smallest opening. I'm leary to open up the hive as the days are still cool and the nights are near freezing. Any suggestions?
