Description from owner
Please take a look at our beautiful house and its stunning surrounding area. It is very special to us and our two girls and we are sure that you will come to love it also.
The web settings don't allow us to select properly - but the house can sleep 7 in three bedrooms. There are two double rooms and one room with double and single bed.
Our home has been built with a strong traditional theme in mind. We used natural building products where possible and also employed some features that would have been used in days gone by. Coupled with up-to-date plumbing, electrical and insulation techniques, this home is as comfortable as it is beautiful.
We are one of fourteen in a cluster managed as a whole to ensure that the area remains neat and tidy. The house has been built with efficient energy saving features in mind. All houses feed off a central gas tank, the wastewater is treated to the strictest environmental standards and there are recycling bins

*Our house has been awarded 4-star by the Irish Government's official body. We are audited on an annual basis.
The Site
Our traditional-style holiday home has been built within the wall of the vegetable and fruit gardens that belonged to the Portsalon Hotel, which was situated nearby. These walls were kept as near to the originals as possible. A gate protects the site. This offers the occupier a sense of security and being in touch with the past history of the area. The site occupies a beautiful elevated aspect overlooking the sea and is adjacent to the beach and a short walk from the golf course.
Within walking distance...
If you are looking for somewhere to come for a care free quiet holiday, this is the place. Our house is comfortable and warm. There is a pub and restaurant exactly 137 steps from door of house to door of pub. It was awarded the Egon Roney Award in 1995 and will serve you an excellent pint of Guinness by a peat fire, get you your bread and milk and send you on your way with the best fish and chips in the North West. No worries about who is going to cook or drive home.
There are two more shops in Portsalon, where you can get just about anything you might need for a couple of weeks holiday. There are another two restaurants and two pubs in Portsalon. Portsalon Beach was voted by the British newspaper "The Observer" as being the second most beautiful beach in the world. The beach and pier are no more than two minutes walk away. The beach is two miles long, has beautiful white sand and is mostly empty by normal standards. Ballymastocker Bay is within Lough Swilly and protected by Knockalla Mountain so the beach is protected from the worst of the Atlantic weather. It is great for walking and exercise.
Portsalon Golf Club is 500 yards away. The golf course is an 18 hole par 69 links course, and has been around since 1891. It is one of the oldest golf courses in Ireland, is beautifully designed in the true tradition of the 'out and in' links course. It is open to non-member but does not offer club hire. It is well worth bringing your own clubs. Even if you do not play the game, the course runs along the edge of the beach and offers a lovely walk with fantastic views.
Who are we?
We are Susan (from Armagh) and Gerry (from Belfast). We are not using the house at the moment as we are currently working in Africa. Gerry is helping to develop fish farming in rural areas. Susan is a physiotherapist, overwhelmed with patients, but also encouraging foreign physios to visit and share their specialist knowledge with local professional associations.
If you hit the contacts button – you will get in touch with my mum who is looking after the house and its bookings for us – thanks Mum!
Enjoy, and don't forget to leave your comments .

Location description from owner
The County Donegal region
County Donegal (Dhún na nGall) is a county in North West Ireland. It is part of the Border Region and is also located in the province of Ulster.
In terms of size and area, it is the largest county in Ulster and the fourth largest county in all of Ireland. Uniquely, County Donegal shares a border with only one other county in the Republic of Ireland – County Leitrim. The greater part of its land border is shared with three counties of Northern Ireland: County Londonderry, County Tyrone and County Fermanagh. This geographic 'isolation' from the rest of the Republic has led to Donegal people maintaining a distinct cultural identity and has been used to market the county with the slogan Up here it's different. While Lifford is the County Town, Letterkenny is by far the largest town in the county. Letterkenny and the nearby city of Derry form the main economic axis of the north-west of Ireland.
Physically, the county is by far the most rugged and mountainous in Ulster. The county consists chiefly of low mountains, with a deeply indented coastline forming natural loughs, of which both Lough Swilly and Lough Foyle are the most notable. The famous mountains (often known as 'the Hills of Donegal') consist of two major ranges, the Derryveagh Mountains in the north and the Bluestack Mountains in the south, with Mount Errigal at 749 metres (2,457 ft) the highest peak. The Slieve League cliffs are the sixth-highest sea cliffs in Europe, while Donegal's Malin Head is the most northerly point on the island of Ireland.
The climate is temperate and dominated by the Gulf Stream, with warm, damp summers and mild wet winters. Two permanently inhabited islands, Arranmore and Tory Island, lie off the coast, along with a large number of islands with only transient inhabitants. Ireland's second longest river, the Erne, enters Donegal Bay near the town of Ballyshannon. The River Erne, along with other Donegal waterways, has been dammed to produce hydroelectric power. The River Foyle separates part of County Donegal from parts of both counties Londonderry and Tyrone.
At various times in its history, it has been known as County Tirconaill, County Tirconnell or County Tyrconnell (Irish: Contae Thír Chonaill). The former was used as its official name during 1922–1927. This is in reference to both the old túath of Tír Chonaill and the earldom that succeeded it. County Donegal is famous for being the home of the once mighty Clann Dálaigh, whose most famous branch were the Clann Ó Domhnaill, better known in English as the O'Donnell Clan. Until around 1600, the O'Donnells were one of Ireland's richest and most powerful Gaelic (native Irish) ruling-families. Within the Province of Ulster only the Clann Uí Néill (known in English as the O'Neill Clan) of modern County Tyrone were more powerful. The O'Donnells were Ulster's second most powerful clan or ruling-family from the early 13th-century through to the start of the 17th-century. For several centuries the O'Donnells ruled Tír Chonaill, a Gaelic kingdom in West Ulster that covered almost all of modern County Donegal. The head of the O'Donnell family had the titles An Ó Domhnaill (meaning The O'Donnell in English) and Rí Thír Chonaill (meaning King of Tír Chonaill in English). Based at Donegal Castle in Dún na nGall (modern Donegal Town), the O'Donnell Kings of Tír Chonaill were traditionally inaugurated at Doon Rock near Kilmacrenan. O'Donnell royal or chiefly power was finally ended in what was then the newly created County Donegal in September 1607, following the Flight of the Earls from near Rathmullan. The modern County Arms of Donegal (dating from the early 1970s) was influenced by the design of the old O'Donnell royal arms. The County Arms is the official coat of arms of both County Donegal and Donegal County Council.
The modern County Donegal was shired by order of the English Crown in 1585. The English authorities at Dublin Castle formed the new county by amalgamating the old Kingdom of Tír Chonaill with the old Lordship of Inishowen. However, the English authorities were unable to establish control over Tír Chonaill and Inishowen until after the Battle of Kinsale in 1602. Full control over the new County Donegal was only achieved after the Flight of the Earls in September 1607. The county was one of those 'planted' during the Plantation of Ulster from around 1610 onwards.
County Donegal was one of the worst affected parts of Ulster during the Great Famine of the late 1840s in Ireland. Vast swathes of the county were devastated by this catastrophe, many areas becoming permanently depopulated. Vast numbers of County Donegal's people emigrated at this time, chiefly through the Port of Derry. Huge numbers of the county's people who emigrated were to settle in Glasgow in southern Scotland.
The Partition of Ireland in the early 1920s was to have a massive direct impact on County Donegal. Partition cut the county off, economically and administratively, from Derry, which had acted for centuries as the county's main port, transport hub and financial centre. Derry, together with West Tyrone, was henceforward in a new, different jurisdiction officially called Northern Ireland. Partition also meant that County Donegal was now almost entirely cut off from the rest of the jurisdiction it now found itself in, the new dominion called the Irish Free State. This dominion became fully independent in April 1949 when it left the Commonwealth and became the Republic of Ireland. Only a few miles of the county is physically connected by land to the rest of the Republic. The existence of this border, cutting Donegal off from her natural hinterlands in Derry City and West Tyrone, has greatly exacerbated the economic difficulties of the county since partition. The county's economy is particularly susceptible, just like that of Derry City, to the currency fluctuations of the Euro against Sterling.
Added to all this, in the late 20th-century, County Donegal was, by the standards of the rest of the Republic of Ireland, to be adversely affected by The Troubles in Northern Ireland. The county was to suffer several bombings and at least two assassinations. In June 1987, Constable Samuel McClean, a Donegal man who was a serving member of the R.U.C., was shot dead by the I.R.A. at his family home near Drumkeen. In May 1991, the prominent Sinn Féin politician Councillor Eddie Fullerton was assassinated by the U.D.A. at his home in Buncrana. This added further to the economic and social difficulties of the county. However, the Good Friday Agreement (G.F.A.) of April 1998 has been of great benefit to the county.
It has been labelled the 'forgotten county' by its own politicians, owing to the increasing regularity with which it is ignored by the Irish Government, even in times of crisis.
Irish language
Road signs in Irish in the Gaoth Dobhair Gaeltacht.
Much of the county is seen as being a bastion of Gaelic culture and the Irish language, the county holding the second-largest Gaeltacht area in the country with a population of 24,504. 16% of the county's population lives in the Gaeltacht. Gweedore is the largest Irish-speaking parish with over 4,000 inhabitants. All schools in the region use Irish as the language of instruction. One of the N.U.I.G.'s constituent colleges, Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, is based in Gweedore. The version of the Irish language spoken in County Donegal is Ulster Irish.
An extensive rail network used to exist throughout the county and was mainly operated by the County Donegal Railways Joint Committee and the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway Company (known as the L. & L.S.R. or the Lough Swilly Company for short). The Great Northern Railway (Ireland) L.t.d. (the G.N.R.) also ran a line from Strabane through The Laggan, a district in the east of the county, along the River Foyle into Derry. Even though the railways in Donegal are fondly remembered, the network was completely closed by 1960. Today, the closest railway station to the county is Waterside Station in the City of Derry, which is operated by Northern Ireland Railways (N.I.R.).
County Donegal is served by both Donegal Airport, located at Carrickfinn in The Rosses in the west of the county, and by City of Derry Airport, located at Eglinton to the east. The nearest main international airport to the county is Belfast International Airport (popularly known as Aldergrove Airport), which is located to the east at Aldergrove, near Antrim Town, in County Antrim, around fifty-seven miles from Derry City and around seventy-five miles from Letterkenny.
The variant of the Irish language spoken in Donegal shares many traits with Scottish Gaelic. The Irish spoken in the Donegal Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area) is of the Ulster dialect, while Inishowen (parts of which only became English-speaking in the early 20th century) used the East Ulster dialect. Ulster Scots is often spoken in both the Finn Valley and The Laggan district of East Donegal. Donegal Irish has a strong influence on learnt Irish across Ulster.
Like other areas on the western seaboard of Ireland, Donegal has a distinctive fiddle tradition which is of world renown. Donegal is also well known for its songs which have, like the instrumental music, a distinctive sound. Donegal musical artists such as the bands Clannad and Altan and solo artist Enya, all from Gaoth Dobhair, have had international success with traditional or traditional flavoured music. Donegal music has also influenced people not originally from the county including folk and pop singer Paul Brady. Popular music is also common, the county's most acclaimed rock artist being the Ballyshannon-born Rory Gallagher.
Donegal has a long literary tradition in both Irish and English. The famous Irish navvy-turned-novelist Patrick MacGill, author of many books about the experiences of Irish migrant itinerant labourers in Britain at around the turn of the 19th to 20th century, such as The Rat Pit and the autobiographical Children of the Dead End, is from the Glenties area. There is a literary summer school in Glenties named in his honour. The novelist and socialist politician Peadar O'Donnell hailed from The Rosses in west Donegal. The poet William Allingham was also from Ballyshannon. Modern exponents include the Inishowen playwright and poet Frank McGuinness and the playwright Brian Friel. Many of Friel's plays are set in the fictional Donegal town of Ballybeg.
Authors in Donegal have been creating works, like the Annals of the Four Masters, in Gaelic and Latin since the Early Middle Ages. The Irish philosopher John Toland was born in Inishowen in 1670. He was thought of as the original freethinker by George Berkeley. Toland was also instrumental in the spread of freemasonry throughout Continental Europe. In modern Irish Donegal has produced famous, and sometimes controversial, authors such as the brothers Séamus Ó Grianna and Seosamh Mac Grianna from The Rosses and the contemporary (and controversial) Irish-language poet Cathal Ó Searcaigh from Gortahork in Cloughaneely, and where he is known to locals as Gúrú na gCnoc ('the Guru of the Hills').
Although approximately 85% of its population is Catholic, County Donegal also has a sizeable Protestant minority. Most Donegal Protestants would trace their ancestors to settlers who arrived during the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th-century. The Church of Ireland is the largest Protestant denomination but is closely rivalled by a large number of Presbyterians. The areas of Donegal with the highest percentage of Protestants are The Laggan area of East Donegal around Raphoe, the Finn Valley and areas around Ramelton, Milford and Dunfanaghy – where their proportion reaches up to 30–45 percent. There is also a large Protestant population between Donegal Town and Ballyshannon in the south of the county. In absolute terms, Letterkenny has the largest number of Protestants (over 1000) and is the most Presbyterian town (among those settlements with more than 3000 people) in the Republic of Ireland. Some County Donegal Protestants (mainly those concentrated in The Laggan and the Donegal Town/Ballintra areas) are members of the Orange Order, a controversial religious and social society.
The Earagail Arts Festival is held within the county each July. It is considered to be one of the best arts festivals in Ireland, North or South. It is certainly one of the main arts festivals within Ulster.
Donegal has also contributed to culture elsewhere. One Donegal native, Francis Alison, was one of the founders of the College of Philadelphia, which would later become the University of Pennsylvania. The Rev. Francis Makemie (originally from Ramelton) founded the Presbyterian Church in America. The Rev. David Steele, from Upper Creevaugh, was a prominent Reformed Presbyterian, or Covenanter, minister who emigrated to the United States in 1824. He maintained a strict testimony for the Covenanted Reformation until his death, in Philadelphia, in 1887.
Places of interest
Glenveagh National Park.
With its sandy beaches, unspoilt boglands and friendly communities, Co. Donegal is a favoured destination for many travellers, Irish (especially Northern Irish) and foreign alike. One of the county treasures is Glenveagh National Park (formerly part of the Glenveagh Estate), as yet (November 2010) the only official national park anywhere in the Province of Ulster. The park is a 140 km² (about 35,000 acre) nature reserve with spectacular scenery of mountains, raised boglands, lakes and woodlands. At its heart is Glenveagh Castle, a beautiful late Victorian 'folly' that was originally built as a summer residence.
The Donegal Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking district) also attracts young people to County Donegal each year during the school summer holidays. The three week long summer Gaeltacht courses give young Irish people from other parts of the country a chance to learn the Irish language and traditional Irish cultural traditions that are still prevalent in parts of Donegal. The Donegal Gaeltacht has traditionally been a very popular destination each summer for young people from Northern Ireland. Scuba Diving is also very popular with a club being located in Donegal Town.
Gaelic football and hurling
The Gaelic Athletic Association sport of Gaelic football is very popular in Donegal. Donegal's inter-county football team have won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title once (in 1992). In 2007 Donegal won only their second national title by winning the National Football League. On 24 April 2011, Donegal added their third national title when they defeated Laois to capture the National Football League Division Two. There are 16 clubs in the Donegal Senior Football Championship, with many others playing at a lower level.[22]
Hurling, handball and rounders are also played but are less widespread, as in other parts of northwestern Ireland. The Donegal county senior hurling team has never managed a title.
Rugby Union
There are several rugby teams in the county. These include Ulster Qualifying League Two side Letterkenny RFC, whose ground is named after Dave Gallaher, the captain of the 1905 New Zealand All Blacks touring team, who have since become known as The Originals. He was born in nearby Ramelton.
Ulster Qualifying League Three sides include Ballyshannon RFC, Donegal Town RFC and Inishowen RFC.
Association football
Finn Harps plays in the League of Ireland and won promotion to the Premier Division in 2007 following a 6–3 aggregate win in the playoff final. They are now back alongside their arch-rivals Derry City F.C., with whom they contest Ireland's North-West Derby. There are numerous other clubs in Donegal, but none has achieved the status of Finn Harps.
Many people travel to Donegal for the superb golf links—long sandy beaches and extensive dune systems are a feature of the county, and many links courses have been developed. Golf is a very popular sport within the county, including world class golf courses such as Ballyliffin (Glashedy), Ballyliffin (Old),both of whch are located in the Inishowen peninsula. Other courses to note are Murvagh (located outside Donegal Town), Portsalon Championship Course (Fanad Head) and Rosapenna (Sandy Hills) located in Downings (near Carrigart). The Glashedy Links has been ranked 6th in a recent ranking taken by Golf Digest on the best courses in Ireland. The Old links was ranked 28th, Murvagh 36th and Sandy Hills 38th.
Surfing and Kite Surfing
Bundoran is regarded as one of the best surfing spots in Ireland and Europe.
Mountain Biking
Because of some Donegal's hilly and mountain landscape, Mountain Biking has become a significant and growing interest. The Donegal Mountain Bike Club is the newest Mountain Bike club in Donegal, and held its first race on 31 August 2011. The 'Bogman Race' was entered by more than 50 people from different backgrounds of cycling. Due to the overwhelming popularity of their first ever race, the club plans to organize more races in the near future over different seasons, and aims to make it a major tourist attraction throughout Donegal.
Cricket is also played in County Donegal. This sport is chiefly confined to The Laggan district and the Finn Valley in the east of the county. The town of Raphoe and the nearby village of St. Johnston, both in The Laggan, are the traditional strongholds of cricket within the county. The game is mainly played and followed by members of County Donegal's Protestant community.
Other sports
Donegal's rugged landscape lends itself to active sports like climbing, hillwalking, surfing and kite-flying.
Rock climbing is of very high quality and still under-developed in the county. There is a wealth of good quality climbs in the county, from granite rocks in the south to quartzite and dolerite in the north; from long mountain routes in the Poisoned Glen to boulder challenges of excellent quality in the west and in the Inishowen Peninsula.
Surfing on Donegal's Atlantic coast is considered to be as good as any in Ireland. The seaside resort of Bundoran, located in the very south of the county, along with nearby Rossnowlagh, have been 'reborn' as the centre of surfing in County Donegal. Indeed, these areas are renowned as the main surfing centres in Ulster.
Portsalon is a typically peaceful Irish fishing village bounded to the east by hills of the Inishowen peninsula, and to the west by Knockallagh Mountain (1200ft). It is on the western shores of Lough Swilly in beautiful north Donegal. An area of immense natural beauty the village possesses a superb blue flag sandy beach, which stretches for 2 miles and a picturesque little harbour, and which looks across at the Dunree Hills, backed by the Uriss Hills.
It is an area of some historical importance situated as it is in the Fanad district, the ancient territory of the Mac Swiney's.
In 1917 the bullion-laden ship Laurentic, was sunk off the coast by a submarine, and amongst the salvage the ship's bell was recovered and can still be seen in Portsalon Church.
To the north of the harbour there are some natural arches and wonderful caves which run along the coastline, the most notable of these being The Seven Arches, a series of caves and tunnels, accessible on foot, and the Doaghbeg Arch also nearby. There is a charming drive to Fanad Head, the site of the famous lighthouse, where the cliffs rise to over 300ft, facing the seaward end of the lough and looking across to Dunaff Head in Inishowen.
For the sportsperson Portsalon has a splendid 18 hold golf course and the shelter of its harbour makes the village an appealing spot for sailing and boating. It all makes Portsalon a very desirable location for a holiday.

"Lovely cosy stay"
Six of us stayed her for two nights in January. Although the weather was very cold and wet the house was very cosy. There was a local pub only a stones throw away which was very nice too. The beach was also very handy. A brilliant stay we all had.
"Excellent location and very comfortable cottage"
Have made repeat visits to this house over the past 5 years and will continue to comeback as the house is ideally located for local pub, restaurant, small shop and portsalon pier. Location is quiet but only 1 minute walk to child friendly pub with evening entertainment. Only 1 minute walk to small sandy beach and larger beach only 5 minute walk away. Great location for both children and adults. House is clean and comfortable and well maintained. Sleeps 6 people comfortably.
"Absolutely fantastic"
We had an absolutely fabulous time. It was extremely relaxing and the scenery in the surrounding countryside is inspiring. The nearby restaurant served wonderful food and gave us a hearty welcome.
"Perfect location and a great place to stay"
We've stayed here four times now! Just a few 100 metres from Portsalon Quay, the golf course and the stunning Portsalon beach, this is such a great place to stay. The house easily sleeps the 7 of us. With a fully-equipped kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher and central heating, it had all the comforts of home, but with much better views! Highly recommend it and am looking forward to the next visit.
"Portsalon is just perfect!"
We had 2 lovely days over Easter at the cottage and really loved it....we wished we could have stayed longer! The cottage was very welcoming and the location was just perfect!
"Ideal location"
This property is in immaculate condition with all the amenities one needs for a good family holiday. As the permanently appointed designated driver in our group I was delighted that just about everything we needed was close at hand. The store/garage was only 5 minutes drive away and it has a fine bar/restaurant on it's doorstep If you love the ruggedness of Donegal, this is the place for you!
"Magical getaway, great amenities"
The house is lovely and airy. Close to a small shop and great Pub & restaurant, with a magnificient 18 hole Links golf course within walking distance
"Throw away the phone and enjoy the peace, quiet and fresh air."
My partner and I stayed here and was amazed at how many people were able to stay here. All up, six people could stay here comfortably. The lounge is a great open space with the cieling going all the way to the roof. Was a great stay for us because we were travelling round Europe and this house had a washing machine and drier. Just down from the house is the local pier and a restaurant, which I'm sure is open in summer. The house is great but the thing that made it special for us was its location. Such a beautiful part of Ireland, laid back and almost dreamy.

Yanmar 2QM15
I Have in the back of my garage a 2QM15 engine partly dimantled all that is missing is the injector pump. All the other parts are available and in good order, I understand the engine is obsolete and the parts are difficult to get, I also have some old Stuart Turner engines and a mass of spare parts.Contact me.
water pump
hows the water pump? I need one. Mine has died and no chance of rebuild. Please let me know. Yanmar wants $$ for a new one.
sorry did not know my engine is obsolete---I can get parts all day long--right here @ the Cape Marina---Canaveral, FL. How is the Zinc Anode in the thing?
I'm looking for a replacement instrument panel for the 2QM15. Do you happen to have that? If so, contact me off-line at email@example.com.
that would be a hull component--not an engine part
I am looking for a starter with solenoid for my 2qm15, if this is still avalible
reply with details cost etc.
As to the 2qm15 starter And Cylinoid I just read an add for a New cylinoid for I think it was 34.oo plus shipping, it states it was used on a long list of manufacturers. I was doing a Yanmar parts search. There is also a company that sells starters & Alternators. I have a catalog somewhere. I have seen new complete yanmar starters but they were like 800.oo.
Parts are out there but I paid 80.oo to get my cylinoid rebuilt. so be carefull with used bilge Iron.
Do you still have the engine? Othere then Spares, I might know someone interested in the transmissison.
If you still have it I can probably use something, (When I bought the boat it was sunk.) why did you tear the engine down?

Framingham's Danforth Museum and School changes its name to Danforth Art
What's in a name? For the former Danforth Museum and School, it's inspiration. The new name of Danforth Art reflects an artistic marriage of the Framingham's museum and school in order to inspire art lovers. One plan is to have students from the school check out an exhibit in the museum and then return to the classroom to put their thoughts and feelings into a painting, print, or collage.
A move to a new building is on the horizon for the almost 40-year-old institution that is working toward national recognition. Judging from its awards, the best is yet to come. Executive director Katherine French has won awards for curatorial excellence for exhibits that "explore historic and contemporary Boston Expressionism,'' and she has been named "Best Curator of Locally Made Art'' at the Boston Art Awards.

Date of Stay: January, 2011
Friendly helpful staff, easy walk to the beach and restaurants. The guests are the most friendly we have ever experienced. A great place for one night, a week vacation or spending the season.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
Very rude staff, campground is not as portrayed on their web site, dog kennel was a muddy cage under a tree, we stayed one night then paid $10.00 per day cancelation fee ($70.00) just to get away.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
We enjoyed our visit very much. We stay at Scenic Hills when we visit Ohio Amish country. The sites are nice size an can accommodate big rigs. A great place to stay and see all Ohio Amish country has to offer.
Date of Stay: January, 2008
Pros - This campground is owned and run by a wonderful young couple working very hard to build on and improve their campground. Sites have either a view of or are on a very nice 9 acre lake. Great for overnight or relaxing vacation in Indiana countryside. Cons - The campground has tight turns getting into sites. We camped in a 36' fifth wheel and were OK larger rigs beware. Summary: New larger sites are being built to accommodate larger rigs available spring '08 large rigs should call ahead. If you like to fish and camp you will like this one !

North Carolina Members:
From yesterday's GRNC Action Alert:
GRNC Alert 02-27-09:
Ambitious gun rights agenda introduced in North Carolina
Within the last week, no fewer than five pro-gun bills have been
introduced in the North Carolina General Assembly thanks to pro-Second
Amendment legislators like Representatives Mark Hilton, George
Cleveland, Justin Burr, Jim Gulley, Tim Moore, Fred Steen, and Laura
Wiley; and Senator Andrew Brock. More gun legislation can be expected
to be introduced prior to the bill introduction deadlines of March 25
for the Senate and April 8 for the House.
H257: 'No Seizure of Lawful Firearms in Emergency'
Introduced by Reps. Cleveland, Hilton, Moore and Wiley, H 257 is
intended to prevent gun confiscation such as occurred in New Orleans
after hurricane Katrina. The bill modifies the power of the Governor
during states of emergency to specifically prohibit seizure of
lawfully held firearms, ammunition or components.
H 269: 'Concealed Handgun Permit Valid in Parks'
Introduced by Reps. Hilton, Burr, Cleveland, and Gulley, H 269 closes
a loophole in the statewide uniformity clause of North Carolina's
concealed handgun permit law under which "units of local government"
can ban concealed carry in public parks.
H 270: 'Personal Protection in Restaurants'
Introduced by Reps. Hilton, Steen, Burr and Cleveland, H 270 closes a
loophole in North Carolina's concealed handgun law under which
permit-holders are prohibited from protecting themselves and their
families in restaurants which serve alcohol. Although gun control
advocates will probably try to assert otherwise, nothing in the bill
changes the current prohibition on consuming alcohol while carrying
S 234: 'Sport Shooting Range Protection'
Introduced by Sen. Brock, S 234 closes a loophole in the existing
range protection law under which a range which is forced to relocate
loses protection against noise and environmental complaints provided
by the 1997 range protection law, and can be closed due to noise or
other complaints. Under Brock's bill, a range forced to move due to
condemnation, rezoning, annexation, road construction or development
would still be protected.
S 235: 'Personal Protection in Restaurants'
Introduced by Sen. Brock, this bill is an identical companion bill to
H 270 above.
The good, the bad ...
Now that the bills have received a "First Reading" on the floor of
their respective chambers, each has received an assignment to a
particular committee for a hearing. Make no mistake: With Democrats
firmly in control of both chambers of the legislature, they will
likely try to kill pro-gun legislation by denying them hearings. Bills
which don't get a hearing and which don't pass votes on Second and
Third Readings on the chamber floor by the May 14 "crossover deadline"
are dead.
HOUSE: The three House bills have all been referred to the House
Judiciary III Committee. While chaired by Rep. Ronnie Sutton, a
Democrat who has voted with gun owners only 65% of the time, this the
best committee assignment the bill could have received. While not a
Second Amendment supporter, Sutton tends to be at least fair in giving
bills hearings.
SENATE: The Senate bills will have a tougher time getting hearings.
Although Brock is on the Judiciary I Committee to which they were
assigned, committee chair Sen. Martin Nesbitt is a Democrat with a
only a 68% pro-gun voting record in a chamber historically hostile to
gun rights.
... and the ridiculous
As detailed in Paul Valone's "Phony Gun Groups"
series, anti-gun Democrats perpetually try to camouflage their agenda by
appealing to hunters and sportsmen. Such is the case with SB 329:
"Right to Hunt," introduced by Sen. David Hoyle. With a mediocre 81%
pro-gun voting record, Hoyle has not been a consistent supporter of
the Second Amendment. And while the bill purports to create a "right
to hunt," the "conditions and restrictions" sound like the disclaimers
read at the end of a shady radio commercial. Given that Hoyle's
"right" is subject to any present or future restrictions resulting
from "laws as enacted by the General Assembly, and rules and
regulations adopted by an administrative agency to which authority has
been delegated", the bill represents meaningless posturing.
See Paul Valone's column at examiner.com at:
Charlotte Gun Rights Examiner: Ambitious gun rights agenda introduced in North Carolina
Tomorrow's GRNC alert will include details and implications of Eric
Holder's statement today that (surprise), Barack Obama wants to
re-implement the "assault weapon" ban.
* Contact appropriate committee chairs of committees to which the
bills have been assigned using links below and tell them the bills
deserve hearings;
- Rep. Ronnie Sutton:- Sen. Martin Nesbitt:Dear Representative Sutton:
H257: 'No Seizure of Lawful Firearms in Emergency', H 269: 'Concealed
Handgun Permit Valid in Parks' and H 270: 'Personal Protection in
Restaurants' are all worthy bills that will empower sane and sober NC
citizens to defend themselves in emergencies.
Please give these bills your full support and hasten them on through
to the floor of the General Assembly for passage.

- Sen. David Hoyle:Dear Senator:
S 234: 'Sport Shooting Range Protection' and S 235: 'Personal
Protection in Restaurants' are both worthy bills that will protect the

Event Details
One Brick Social, a section of the One Brick organization, is hosting our next event to serve as a fundraiser for Scrap Warehouse – a non-profit creative reuse center, materials depot and workshop space founded in 1976. SCRAP breathes new life into old objects and reduces waste by diverting over 200 tons of materials heading to landfill every year. The community depends on SCRAP as the place to find all manner of materials for educational programs, creative projects, and their classrooms.
One Brick is a non-profit organization focused on promoting local volunteering opportunities. The One Brick Social initiative has expanded the organization's focus to include fundraising events as well. Our past events have been very successful, raising anywhere from $800 to $2500 for local nonprofits.
Please join us for the event. 100% of guest bartending tips will go to SCRAP. We will also have a raffle with exciting prizes (proceeds will benefit both SCRAP and One Brick). Raffle details to come. RSVP here and on Facebook to share with your friends.

Tim was scheduled to skate in SKate America and Cup of China with NHK as his non scoring event. Because of the withdrawal from SA, does NHK now become a scored event for him? (the pdf spreadsheet at ISU still shows NHK as non-scoring)
If not, then accumulating enough points to participate in GPF is virtually out of his grasp and those boots become a very expensive item.
Can someone answer my question?

Owner of 62 animals in Sheridan headed to trial
STANTON — A Sheridan woman is headed to trial after 62 animals were seized from her home last autumn.
Nancy Muller, 57, is charged with abandoning/cruelty to 10 or more animals, a felony with a possible four-year prison sentence. Muller was bound over from 64B District Court to 8th Judicial Circuit Court in Stanton and waived her arraigned on Thursday. A trial will be scheduled at a later date.
Montcalm County Animal Control officials executed a search warrant on Oct. 15, 2012, seizing 52 dogs and 10 cats from Muller's residence on South Sheridan Road (M-66). Animal Control was assisted by the Michigan State Police.
The action came after Animal Control received a complaint about Muller's residence.
Animal Control had to send all the animals which were currently at the Animal Shelter in Stanton to the Kent County Animal Shelter in Grand Rapids and to other rescue facilities to make room for the seized animals.
The dogs and cats are all different breeds and ages. They are currently being adopted out. Call the Animal Shelter at (989) 831-7355 for more information.

Reactive Sputtering of NiCr Resistors With Closely Adjustable Temperature Coefficient of Resistance
Siemens AG, München BRD, Germany
Received 1 May 1977
Copyright © 1977 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
A process is described to obtain NiCr resistors with adjustable temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) by reactive sputtering in an Ar-atmosphere with a small amount of oxygen in the range of 2% to 6%. As deposited the films show a TCR < −200 ppm/K. By heat treatment in air at a temperature of 350°C the TCR can be raised to values above −20 ppm/K. The time of heat treatment necessary to obtain a given TCR depends on the oxygen/argon ratio during sputtering. The long term stability is not affected by the choice of this ratio in a wide range.
Resistor networks with a solderable conductor pattern of TiPdAu have a TCR of 0±7 ppm/K and a long term resistance drift ≤ 2‰ in the first 1,000 hours at 125°C.

Submitted to: International Embryo Transfer Society Annual Meeting
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 9/1/2005
Publication Date: 9/1/2005
Citation: Talbot, N.C., Powell, A.M., Caperna, T.J., Garrett, W.M. 2005. Proteomic analysis of the major cellular proteins of bovine trophectoderm cell lines derived from ivp, parthenogenetic and nuclear transfer embryos: reduced expression of annexin I in nuclear transfer-derived cell lines. International Embryo Transfer Society Annual Meeting. Interpretive Summary: THIS IS AN ABSTRACT. NO INTERPRETIVE SUMMARY REQUIRED.
Technical Abstract: Trophectoderm cell lines were established from 8-day in vitro cultured bovine embryos that were derived from the fertilization (IVF), somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT), or parthenogenetic activation (P) of in vitro matured oocytes and from five 8-day in vivo (V) embryos. The most abundant cellular proteins of 2 V-, 16 NT-, 12 P-, and 13 IVF-derived cell lines were compared by 2D-gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. That is, the unaltered thiourea/urea extract of each cell culture was analyzed. One-hundred and eighteen in common protein spots were examined, and 95% were identified with significant scores from protein and gene database searches. Of the proteins detected and identified, actin and cytokeratin-8 were found to be the most abundant. Other prominently expressed cellular proteins were metabolic enzymes such as aldose reductase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase, triosephosphate isomerase, cytoskeletal interacting proteins transgelin and stratifin, anti-oxidant proteins peroxiredoxin 1 and anti-oxidant protein 2, and the calcium-dependent lipid-binding proteins annexin I and II. In comparative analysis of the 2D-gels, the NT-derived trophectoderm showed diminished annexin I expression in comparison to IVF-derived trophectoderm. Since annexin I is abundantly expressed in the placenta and has functions important to the maintenance of placentation, the down-regulation of annexin I in the cultured NT trophectoderm may be related to the frequent failures of NT pregnancies.

That's too sweet! We had to make sure our bedroom door was shut when we left the house or our dog would get up on our bed and do that with the bedspread and blankets!

So cute :-D
Cute blocks and puppy :D:D:D
I had a sad day today but this day was inevitable. My little Tinkertoy went to doggie heaven today and hubby and I buried her in the back yard. We have had her for 17 and a half years and it was so hard to let her go. She was the mommy of Teddy.
Hubby was crying, calling her his little girl, it was soo sad. We both feel ok now and we do have Teddy's daddy still and Teddy's half sister Molly...all my children are getting old, it's too bad they have such a short life as they are the most perfect companion.....
I am so sorry for your loss. It's very hard when they pass on-I've been there several times. We get so attached to them and they bring such joy. (((((((hugs)))))) to you and your DH.Originally Posted by Rosyhf
I'M so sorry. My prayers are with you! Our pets are our other children. They have very special places in our hearts & are dearly missed.Originally Posted by Rosyhf
May God Bless You & Keep You!

(Ogr, X_kot) The Knuckle Heads 0 - 2 Wayward Gladiators (Nor, El Cubo)
The opening match of the season saw a clash between Nordic and Ogrish brawn, and the stadium managers were thankful they shipped in additional medical staff. Three injuries a side, along with one dead snotling and two dead Norse lineman (one was a free agent...at least he perished doing what he loved), brought the crowd to their feet for the entire match. Physical plays dominated the highlight reel, including one Nordic rush that saw two ogres knocked to the pitch and stunned almost simultaneously. After making quick work of the opposition, the Gladiators walked the ball in for a 1-0 lead less than a quarter of the way into the game.
The Knuckle Heads received the return kick and attempted to equalize. A brawl ensued at half-field, preventing the ogres from advancing in force. Snotling after snotling were sent skyward in an attempt to a) get the ball or, failing that, b) injure random players; however, even a brave blitz by #02 Grug the Bulg through a tackle zone could not wrest control away from the Nords at the end of the first half.
By the opening of the second half, both teams were down four players (one particularly well-armored linesman had slipped on a pool of bile and snapped his spine in half). The Knuckle Heads pushed ahead, and the Gladiators hit their left flank hard. This gave the runningback snotling #06 Ruzek Windbreaker the chance to dash to the wide right zone and hand off to #07 Nmatub Murshroomgas (of the prestigious High Ridge Murshroomgas clan). Their ogre teammates managed to concentrate long enough to assemble themselves in what amounted to a defense. However, Gladiator #02 Xeno would not fall prey to a simple paradox, and he managed to move from Point A to Point Snot, freeing the ball and ensuring a Norse victory.
This was a brutal game, and El Cubo ran a clean, tight playbook. I got to toss gobbos around, so that was entertaining. Well played!
I may have to get in and still accept a few applications before the remaining divisions can get going (particularly the new division!) - I'll do that tonight unless another admin gets there first.
Xenny! Like PW said, apply for H and we'll fit you in there, wasn't trying to lose you, just trying to get us all going as quickly as possible :-). We've had a fair number of new people forget or lose interest before their first match in previous seasons, so I tend to be pretty brutal with those deadlines!
For everyone, if you add 'daily/instant email alerts' to this thread (at the top, under 'thread tools'-> 'subscribe to this thread') it'll help keep you up to speed (I couldn't manage this without them!)
PW - keep that skaven team on standby just in case I've missed something and we still have a space somewhere, I know we're missing mrpier from div 3 still and I haven't started 7 as null could get a bump...
/Edit - think i fixed the sheet - ntw, it's probably worth checking I haven't mangled it ;-)

The irony of this team is that so far the most well protected norsemen have suffered the most casualties: -st for an ulf, -ma for a blodging berzerker and a death for an av8 lineman. Two of these were failed GFIs and when an apothecary was used, on both occasions he offered to end the patient's misery altogether! I think I should concentrate more on the offense. Frenzy for the whole lot of them from now on!
My connection should be up again tonight, if the internet gods are just.
OK - everything (except the below) is setup, checked and ready to go!
Div3 is waiting mrpier and Div7 is on standby incase Nuffle strikes and Null has to fill in for mrpier in Div3.
Everyone *PLEASE* check that the match schedule in the sheet results and fixtures tab matches what BBLE says ingame and post here ASAP if it doesn't! Doubly so because I had to switch a few teams around to tally up the fixtures on the sheet...
Likewise if anyone has problems finding the match organising discussions or actually connecting to a multi-player game - let us know ASAP.
As far as I know, everyone except Divs 3 & 7 can now start - go crazy kids.

Good work, everybody. That was relatively painless.
And once again, big thanks to Groovy and ntw for herding all the cats!
Yes, thanks to all the admins for bothering with the whole organisation and spreadsheet updating.

All hail our admin overlords!
The Tuftybushe Fruitcakes (Hal) vs Beasts of Bembridge (Nur)
0 - 3
Despite some decent cooking happening on the sidelines, nothing could be done about the relentless grinding of nurgle corruption.
Lots of victims. 3 dead Halfling, among which a rising star that happened to run faster than the others (but not fast enough !)
Granted, one of the death was due to an over enthusiastic treeman throwing a little bit hard and a little bit wrongly (like, straight to the floor)
This is going to be an expensive match for replacements!
An expensive victory.

Was a Bloody mess for me, but I think I might have impacted him enough to bias his later matches allowing me a strategic victory overall by winning the casualties scoreboard 5 to 1 including 2 deaths (1 apoced)
edit: I killed and then raised a player, then brought him onto the pitch to foul the others, its like a mexican wave.
Last edited by Heliocentric; 18-04-2012 at 01:01 AM.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way
Well, that was brutal.
Winning the toss, IWTNH chose to receive. Linerats ineffectively pushed on the line, GutterRunners ran through into the backfield, basically everything going as expected so far. Taxiderm immediately kill a Linerat, Fodder5b was his name - the "b" denoting that he is already a replacement for a previously killed or retired player - and I suspect that the Fodder5 slot on the team is going to be like the drummer from Spinal Tap... Hoping to minimise casualties, the IWTNH Thrower passes to a waiting GR and a quick score is recorded.
IWTNH 1 - 0 Taxiderm
Taxiderm receive and immediately celebrate by killing another Linerat, IWTNH's Apothecary actually manages to do something useful (he'll probably take the rest of the season off now) and staples the rat back together. At this point it all gets a bit hazy in my memory, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the match happened something like this... Helio leaves his ball carrying Ghoul exposed to a GutterRunner blitz and IWTNH's two ManRunners (GutterRunners with the strength of a man!) set precedent for the rest of the match by successfully making multiple GFI rolls and dodges to free the ball then score shortly afterwards.
IWTNH 2 - 0 Taxiderm
The rest of the half continued to play out with Helio bashing the bejezus out of any Rat foolish enough to stand close to the Taxiderm players.
Second half starts and somehow IWTNH have still *almost* got a full team on the pitch, but Taxiderm are receiving and have a full 11 thirsting for ratblood. A few turns progress as expected - Rats get bashed and leave the pitch, undeads slowly rumble forward. When about 6 rats remain on the pitch Taxiderm's ball-carrying Ghoul launches a pass over a pack of fighting Rats and bones (well - 1 rat, 2 or 3 undeads), which is then somehow plucked out of the air by the solitary LineRat in the ruck. He then dodges out and hands off to the Thrower, who makes a beautiful pass over the lines towards a ManRunner, who catches the ball then dodges away from his marker to score a completely unexpected 3rd for IWTNH.
IWTNH 3 - 0 Taxiderm
Only about 6 Rats remain for the kickoff, so things are looking grim for the rest of the match. Helio displays his inner cruelty by gangfouling a Rat with his freshly acquired Fodder5b Zombie. Somehow the ball pops free again and IWTNH's Thrower manages to end up with it and launch a long pass way upfield into open space, but it is not enough to stop the Taxiderm steamroller from scoring with 1 turn left on the clock.
IWTNH 3 - 1 Taxiderm
The clock ticks down as the IWTNH's MightyBlow endowed StormVermin *finally* gets an armour break (16th turn FFS!), and the whistle blows.
Helio's undead were a Rat-mincing production line, and my rats were almost completely unable to land a blow in return (not through lack of effort!). Fortunately for me, I horrendously abused GFIs and dodges with *very* few failures. From the first turn I felt on the defensive, but with lucky rolls I was able to score against the run of play at least twice.
Cheers for the game Helio, it must have been frustrating to see all your bashiness countered by the Rats slipperiness, it was certainly frustrating for me to watch my Rats going through the Taxiderm sausage machine. However for the first time I think I've seen what people mean when they say "never write off Skaven".
Now if you'll excuse me I need to visit the rat hospital to congratulate the vermin and encourage them to get back on the field, then deliver some bad news to the Rat family of poor Fodder5b as well as starting to scout for his replacement - Fodder5c.
/edit - I'm pretty sure that bit in the middle is mixed up, some of the highlights are in the wrong order, but they all happened at about that stage of the match.When asked, he merely responded with a wry bleat followed by a swift kick to the testicles.- Rakysh

Especially in the first half unless it had a good set of skill rolls... before the interval I'd rarely even use it on a Storm Vermin.
Still I had a linerat I used to apoth on the Rats charge to the championship... it really summed up Nuffle's evil sense of humour too. I'd hired Margaret Thatcher with the intention of deploying her in marking killer duties but the sneaky bitch rolled +ag on her first level and became a core part of the team.
This match will long stand in Taxederm's history as an important one.
Not only did I pick up my first non guard/block skills after it but it taught me much on priorities of development and deployment.
Sure my iron curtain of guard players is devastating on the LOS but I need to force dodges, risky passes and do a little square counting for point to point risk assessment.
Also ag 3 players are bloody useless at passing without skills.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way
I'm glad you're having fun Helio, but your team and your tactics terrify me. :P

Cross-border terror has acquired a new meaning in Punjab. The state health authorities are afraid that visitors from Pakistan would bring in the polio virus, so they have decided to set up immunisation centres at the entry points.
"We will give anti-polio doses to all below-5 children coming in from Pakistan through the Wagah land route and by Samjhauta Express at the Attari railway station," state immunisation officer Dr Balwinder Singh told HT.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan are the four countries that still have the virus, out of the 125 countries where the WHO started a polio immunisation drive in 1988.
"The Punjab in Pakistan is in the high-risk zone of polio incidence," state WHO and National Polio Surveillance Project (NPSP) officer Dr Vikrant Prabhakar told HT.
Punjab has seen eight cases since 2005, though there was none in 2010. "But we can't take any chance. We will set up counters at the joint check-post. The railway station counter is already in place," Dr Singh said.
At present, there are similar counters at different railway stations in the state, Ludhiana in particular, to immunise the kids of the large number of migrants who come in from UP, Bihar and Rajasthan among other states.
"We have also located the illegal bus stands in Ludhiana and have plans to cover kids of domestic servants. Though no polio case was reported in 2010, we can't go slow," said district immunisation officer Dr KS Saini.
"And this is not only to save India or Punjab, but also to help eradicate the virus from our neighbouring territories," he added.

Vitamin A Molecule
Image Caption : Vitamin A, also referred to as retinoic acid or retinol, is an essential nutrient. This fat-soluble vitamin helps protect body tissues, such as those in the eyes, lungs, and digestive tract, from bacteria and viruses. It assists in the development of healthy surface linings and ensures those linings remain moist. The wide availability of Vitamin A-rich foods in the US leaves few Americans with Vitamin A deficiencies, though occasionally it is evident following strict dietary restrictions or excessive alcohol intake, since alcohol blocks the absorption of the vitamin. Night blindness is one of the first signs of Vitamin A deficiency.

Vitamin A
Vitamin A plays a role in your
- Vision
- Bone growth
- Reproduction
- Cell functions
- Immune system
Vitamin A is an antioxidant. It can come from plant or animal sources. Plant sources include colorful fruits and vegetables. Animal sources include liver and whole milk. Vitamin A is also added to foods like cereals.
Vegetarians, young children, and alcoholics may need extra Vitamin A. You might also need more if you have certain conditions, such as liver diseases, cystic fibrosis, and Crohn's disease. Check with your health care provider to see if you need to take vitamin A supplements.
NIH: National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements
Vitamin A
Fact Sheet for Consumers
What is vitamin A and what does it do?
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in many foods. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, the immune system, and reproduction. Vitamin A also helps the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs work properly.
There are two different types of vitamin A. The first type, preformed vitamin A, is found in meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. The second type, provitamin A, is found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based products. The most common type of provitamin A in foods and dietary supplements is beta-carotene.
How much vitamin A do I need?
The amount of vitamin A you need depends on your age and reproductive status. Recommended intakes for vitamin A for people aged 14 years and older range between 700 and 900 micrograms (mcg) of retinol activity equivalents (RAE) per day. Recommended intakes for women who are nursing range between 1,200 and 1,300 RAE. Lower values are recommended for infants and children younger than 14.
However, the vitamin A content of foods and dietary supplements is given on product labels in international units (IU), not mcg RAE. Converting between IU and mcg RAE is not easy. A varied diet with 900 mcg RAE of vitamin A, for example, provides between 3,000 and 36,000 IU of vitamin A depending on the foods consumed. See our Health Professional Fact Sheet on Vitamin A for more details.
For adults and children aged 4 years and older, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has established a vitamin A Daily Value (DV) of 5,000 IU from a varied diet of both plant and animal foods. DVs are not recommended intakes; they don't vary by age and sex, for example. But trying to reach 100% of the DV each day, on average, is useful to help you get enough vitamin A.
What foods provide vitamin A?
Vitamin A is found naturally in many foods and is added to some foods, such as milk and cereal. You can get recommended amounts of vitamin A by eating a variety of foods, including the following:
- Beef liver and other organ meats (but these foods are also high in cholesterol, so limit the amount you eat).
- Some types of fish, such as salmon.
- Green leafy vegetables and other green, orange, and yellow vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, and squash.
- Fruits, including cantaloupe, apricots, and mangos.
- Dairy products, which are among the major sources of vitamin A for Americans.
- Fortified breakfast cereals.
What kinds of vitamin A dietary supplements are available?
Vitamin A is available in dietary supplements, usually in the form of retinyl acetate or retinyl palmitate (preformed vitamin A), beta-carotene (provitamin A), or a combination of preformed and provitamin A. Most multivitamin-mineral supplements contain vitamin A. Dietary supplements that contain only vitamin A are also available.
Am I getting enough vitamin A?
Most people in the United States get enough vitamin A from the foods they eat, and vitamin A deficiency is rare. However, certain groups of people are more likely than others to have trouble getting enough vitamin A:
- Premature infants, who often have low levels of vitamin A in their first year.
- Infants, young children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding women in developing countries.
- People with cystic fibrosis.
What happens if I don't get enough vitamin A?
Vitamin A deficiency is rare in the United States, although it is common in many developing countries. The most common symptom of vitamin A deficiency in young children and pregnant women is an eye condition called xerophthalmia. Xerophthalmia is the inability to see in low light, and it can lead to blindness if it isn't treated.
What are some effects of vitamin A on health?
Scientists are studying vitamin A to understand how it affects health. Here are some examples of what this research has shown.
People who eat a lot of foods containing beta-carotene might have a lower risk of certain kinds of cancer, such as lung cancer or prostate cancer. But studies to date have not shown that vitamin A or beta-carotene supplements can help prevent cancer or lower the chances of dying from this disease. In fact, studies show that smokers who take high doses of beta-carotene supplements have an increased risk of lung cancer.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), or the loss of central vision as people age, is one of the most common causes of vision loss in older people. Among people with AMD who are at high risk of developing advanced AMD, a supplement containing antioxidants, zinc, and copper with or without beta-carotene has shown promise for slowing down the rate of vision loss.
When children with vitamin A deficiency (which is rare in North America) get measles, the disease tends to be more severe. In these children, taking supplements with high doses of vitamin A can shorten the fever and diarrhea caused by measles. These supplements can also lower the risk of death in children with measles who live in developing countries where vitamin A deficiency is common.
Can vitamin A be harmful?
Yes, high intakes of some forms of vitamin A can be harmful.
Getting too much preformed vitamin A (usually from supplements or certain medicines) can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, coma, and even death. High intakes of preformed vitamin A in pregnant women can also cause birth defects in their babies. Women who might be pregnant should not take high doses of vitamin A supplements.
Consuming high amounts of beta-carotene or other forms of provitamin A can turn the skin yellow-orange, but this condition is harmless. High intakes of beta-carotene do not cause birth defects or the other more serious effects caused by getting too much preformed vitamin A.
The upper limits for preformed vitamin A in IU are listed below. These levels do not apply to people who are taking vitamin A for medical reasons under the care of a doctor. Upper limits for beta-carotene and other forms of provitamin A have not been established.
|Life Stage
|Upper Limit
|Birth to 12 months
|Children 1–3 years
|Children 4–8 years
|Children 9–13 years
|Teens 14–18 years
|Adults 19 years and older
Are there any interactions with vitamin A that I should know about?
Yes, vitamin A supplements can interact or interfere with medicines you take. Here are several examples:
- Orlistat (Alli®, Xenical®), a weight-loss drug, can decrease the absorption of vitamin A, causing low blood levels in some people.
- Several synthetic forms of vitamin A are used in prescription medicines. Examples are the psoriasis treatment acitretin (Soriatane®) and bexarotene (Targretin®), used to treat the skin effects of T-cell lymphoma. Taking these medicines in combination with a vitamin A supplement can cause dangerously high levels of vitamin A in the blood.
Tell your doctor, pharmacist, and other health care providers about any dietary supplements and medicines you take. They can tell you if those dietary supplements might interact or interfere with your prescription or over-the-counter medicines or if the medicines might interfere with how your body absorbs, uses, or breaks down nutrients.
Vitamin A and healthful eating
People should get most of their nutrients from food, advises the federal government's Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Foods contain vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and other substances that benefit health. Dietary supplements might help in some situations to increase the intake of a specific vitamin or mineral. For more information on building a healthy diet, refer to the Dietary Guidelines for Americansexternal link disclaimer and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food guidance system, ChooseMyPlateexternal link disclaimer.
This fact sheet by the Office of Dietary Supplements provides information that should not take the place of medical advice. We encourage you to talk to your healthcare providers (doctor, registered dietitian, pharmacist, etc.) about your interest in, questions about, or use of dietary supplements and what may be best for your overall health.
