SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – Lake Superior State University biology, chemistry and environmental science students invite members of the Eastern Upper Peninsula and Algoma communities to their spring Senior Research Symposium, to be held from 3-5 p.m., Friday, April 15, and 9:00 a.m. to noon, Saturday, April 16, in the Crawford Hall of Science on LSSU's campus.
Students will be presenting the results of their senior thesis research projects. Friday's event is a poster session for which students have prepared a display of their research. The students will be on hand to informally discuss their projects. Posters will be on display in the south hallways on the main floor and third floor of Crawford Hall.
Saturday morning's event is a symposium of formal oral presentations. Three concurrent sessions will be held in Crawford Hall classrooms. Talks begin at 8 a.m. with open admission between one session and another. Refreshments will be served during a coffee break at approximately 10:20 a.m.
The senior thesis is the capstone experience for all students in the College of Natural, Mathematical and Health Sciences at LSSU. Students choose a topic, design a study, collect and analyze the data, write a scientific paper and present the information to the university community and interested members of the public. Projects typically take an entire year for the students to design and complete, and often address practical issues of local biological and environmental concerns.
A sampling of the projects includes:
Daniel Arnold (Iron Mountain, Mich.) studied the effects that binaural beats, a type of auditory stimuli, have on an individual's brainwaves and stress state. When listened to for a short period of time, it was found that binaural beats do not affect the brainwaves of an individual, but do decrease stress levels. Arnold used electroencephalography (EEG) and electrodermal activity (EDA) to measure brainwave activity and stress state. Binaural beats are being investigated for a range of health benefits including anxiety disorder treatment and Alzheimer's disease prevention.
Robert Cross (Pinckney, Mich.) conducted fish surveys above and below existing salmon barriers on five northern Michigan streams to determine differences between fish populations with and without exposure to Pacific salmon. He found that brook trout abundance and condition factor were higher in reaches above the barrier. In contrast fish species diversity was significantly higher in reaches below the barriers. This information is critical to prioritize rivers in which dam removal can be used as a successful management tool to restore ecosystem connectivity without negatively altering native species.
Christopher Dean (Leroy, Mich.) analyzed data obtained from steelhead returning to Michigan's Little Manistee River. It was found that wild steelhead smolt earlier, produce more offspring, and utilize different spawning times than hatchery-raised fish. Data from 1968-2008 shows that wild steelhead populations have been decreasing at a substantial rate.
Corey Dooley (Lake Orion, Mich.) studied the effects perfluorinated compounds (PFC) had on the purple non-sulfur bacteria, Rhodobacter sphaeroides. PFCs are ubiquitous chemicals produced around the world and are used in many products such as glues, Teflon pans, and food packaging. These chemicals have shown to be toxic in animal studies and are found in measurable quantities within the entire human population. Dooley created a mutant bacteria to determine if there is any relationship between particular metabolic genes and the toxicity of PFCs. His research indicated a possible mechanism for the toxic effect these chemicals have which may provide insight on possible prevention and or treatment strategies.
Kari Evey, (Sault Sainte Marie, Mich.) studied the correlation between Trichinella spiralis, a parasitic helminth within the black bear community of the Upper Peninsula. T. spiralis is known to cause abdominal pain, cramping, fever, and muscle pain when consumed in undercooked meat that is infected with the helminth.
Paige Filice (Lansing, Mich.) completed a road stream crossing inventory, catalog, and public questionnaire of the Munuscong River Watershed with the Chippewa/East Mackinac Conservation District. The inventory included an assessment of culvert suitability, fish pass ability, and erosion control. She also assisted with the creation and interpretation of a public questionnaire of residents living within the watershed to gauge public interest and knowledge. This project will assist the conservation district in the creation of a watershed management plan for the Munuscong River.
Ross Gay (Midland, Mich.) conducted research on Great Lakes tributaries and assessed the effects of spawning pacific salmon on the drift of aquatic macroinvertebrates. Salmon are often referred to as ecosystem engineers because of their spawning activities. This is important because aquatic macroinvertebrates are an important food source for native fishes. In their native range, it is known that salmon increase aquatic macroinvertebrate drift. Ross found that salmon spawning in Great Lakes streams had no effect on drift.
Luigi Greco (Sault Ste Marie, Ont.) investigated the inherent and acquired resistive abilities of a common eye bacteria,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to current contact lens solutions. Historically, the bacteria is inherently resistive to other antimicrobial agents, and the results of Greco's study supported this trait. However, the results were not conclusive in determining whether the pathogen could acquire a resistance to the solutions. Knowledge gained through this project will further the development of effective contact lens cleaning solutions.
Corey Johnson (Traverse City, Mich.) studied nest site preferences among species of Michigan raptors. Raptors may select nests based on habitat, as well as tree size and species. The study worked with the National Park Service to survey the Manitou islands. The data collected can be used in better management techniques for endangered species, such as the piping plover. A follow-up study is currently being planned.
Alyssa Loney (Merritt, Mich) evaluated the relationship between protein consumption and muscle maintenance among Division II women's basketball players at LSSU. Results will provide information to athletes indicating whether or not adding a source of protein to their diet would increase muscle maintenance throughout the competition season.
Heather Millard (Delton, Mich.) studied the immunological response of Atlantic salmon, an important game and aquaculture fish in the Great Lakes region, to the bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida. A. salmonicida causes a disease called furunculosis, which is characterized by lesions on the skin of fish. Millard's study found that the bacterial infection caused increased amounts of white blood cells and decreased amounts of red blood cells in the blood stream.
Robert Morgan (Fairview, Mich.) studied the effects of released pheasants on seasonal raptor abundance. Pheasants are typically released from hunting preserves between September and December. Surveys were conducted twice a month to determine raptor abundance but, due to the lack of raptor sightings, no conclusions could be made.
Tara Novak (Cedar, Mich.) observed the preferred foraging habitats of white-tailed deer in the northern Lower Peninsula. This can help hunters and conservationists reduce their costs in planting food plots and manage healthy herds. They will be able to see which forage was preferred and how the deer use these plots to help them survive through all seasons. Her study showed a significant difference of which plots deer used based on the time of year.
Dan Operhall (Ann Arbor, Mich.) analyzed scales taken from steelhead caught by anglers in the St. Mary's River. By analyzing the scales Operhall was able to determine the percentage of steelhead caught that were naturally reproduced in the wild or stocked from a hatchery. His results can assist fisheries managers in setting fishing regulations and determining future stocking numbers.
Stephanie Plummer (Linden, Mich) studied the effects of herbal remedies (honey, garlic, and tea tree oil) on four common microbes found in dog ear infections. The relationships observed from this study indicated that tea tree oil is the most effective at inhibiting bacterial growth, garlic was a close second, and honey had the least effective outcome. Additional tests were done to determine the mechanism of action of each treatment in terms of reactive oxygen species production. The data points towards tea tree oil being radical producers, garlic as an antioxidant, and honey was inconclusive. Results from this study can lead to other efficient and cost-effective sources of animal treatments.
Mary Strzalkowski (Redford Twp., Mich.) assessed the quality of habitat for snowshoe hare in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula. Studies have determined that snowshoe hare are an important prey item for the endangered Canada lynx. Her study found that areas from a previous study that were assumed to be a high quality habitat do, in fact, have snowshoe hare populations. This was found by observing their tracks and where they ate. Knowing more about Snowshoe hare can help to increase future Canada lynx populations.
Michael Tower (Marion, Mich.) conducted a fish population survey and an angler survey at Three Mile Pond just east of Engadine, Mich. His goal was to determine which trout, brown trout or rainbow trout would provide a better fishery. He determined that the addition of rainbow trout into the pond that previously had been stocked with brown trout increased angler satisfaction. He also used morality trends to determine the length of time the trout will live in the pond, and found that brown trout will survive longer than rainbow trout in the pond.
Andrew Truax (Elgin, Illinois) observed whether two aquatic invasive species, the rusty crayfish and zebra mussel, had migrated into the St. Mary's River from established populations around its outlet into Lake Huron. In addition he also looked at the demand for a prevention of these species along the river in regards to Chippewa County residents. Truax's study found that neither the rusty crayfish or zebra mussel had moved into the St. Marys River in any of his sample sites, and that there is a demand for preventative measures to be taken in protecting the St. Mary's River from aquatic invasive species.
Kelly Turek (Mayville, Mich.) assessed the accuracy and precision of using fish otoliths, fin rays, and scales for determining Atlantic salmon age. Age is among the most influential metrics in fisheries management as it is used to determine various population characteristics (growth rates, mortality, etc.). Therefore, the validation of these aging techniques is necessary. Results showed that when considering accuracy, precision, and time, fin rays are the best method for aging Atlantic salmon, followed by otoliths, and scales.
Rene' Williams (Clare, Mich.) investigated bacteria colonization on Atlantic salmon due to sea lamprey scars and the health status of the fish. Sea lamprey wounds may cause secondary infections that could lead to massive mortality of fish. Williams' study found that there are many potentially dangerous bacteria on the skin of the fish which could lead to outbreak of disease and noticed a decrease in white blood cells in fish with scars. Knowledge gained will be beneficial to LSSU Aquatic Research Laboratory by minimizing the risk of possible pathogens from fish with lamprey scars.
Brittany Woodthorp (Pellston, Mich.) studied the basking behaviors of painted turtles in response to weather conditions on the Black River in Cheboygan County. Observations of facing, position, and number of turtles basking were recorded along with several environmental factors. Basking is an important part of turtle behavior, so determining the cues for this behavior can lead to a better understanding of how it occurs. While no significant relationships were found, in this case, further study may yield more results.

Spruce Up Your Email (Netscape Mail)
Yesterday Tom showed you how to add graphics, colors, cool fonts, and other formatting to Outlook Express email. Today I will show you how to do it if you are using Netscape.
To get started, just click on "Compose Message" then click inside the text box.
Setting Up Your Page
The first step is really easy: from the "format" menu, select "Page colors and Background" then select the "Use custom colors" radio button. Now you can choose different colors for your text and background.
Down a little lower you will notice the "Background Image" selector. Click "Choose File", then browse to find your background picture. Try looking in your "My Documents/My Pictures" folder. Keep in mind that the image you use will be "wallpapered" (repeated) across the body of the email, so a small image will appear as many times as it takes to fill the screen.
When you are satisfied with the preview, click OK .
Creating Your Email
You'll see that the background graphic you selected is in the space where you write your email. Go ahead and type your message as you would normally—notice the text color you selected is being used. Once you've got some headlines and other text in, we get to do the other cool part of this process.
Select your greeting, or some other part of the email that you'd like to highlight. Notice the "Body Text" tab just above the message window—click this for a drop down menu. Just highlight a section of text and choose a size from the menu.
Another tab is labeled "Variable Width" which is where you go to select a font for highlighted text. Next to that is a little square with your font color—click there to change the color of a highlighted area. Notice the other formatting tabs just above the message box: font size, bold, italic, indent, etc.
Use HTML tags!
If you understand how to work with HTML source code, you can edit or insert HTML tags, style attributes, and JavaScript in your mail message. Place the insertion point where you want to insert the HTML code, then open the Insert menu and choose HTML . In the Insert HTML dialog box, enter HTML tags and text, then click Insert to put your changes in.
I did not find a way to save the format like you can in Outlook Express, so every time you want to make a fancy email, you need to start from scratch. But then, that makes each one special 😉

The lights shining down were so bright I was beginning to sweat. I was alone, pouring my heart out on the stage of the University Theater during the annual production of the Vagina Monologues. As my monologue reached its climax and just as I was reaching my epiphany I saw the light… of a cell phone.
A young woman, whose mop of curly blond hair hid her identity from me, was texting in the front row.
I lost my focus. I was pulled out of character.
I pulled it together and continued, but in retrospect I was appalled at the crassness of this person who sat close enough for me to watch them metaphorically slap me across the face with her smart phone.
Most productions have a stage manager, the director or even an actor in character that announces rules and etiquette, such as silencing cell phones and no flash photography. Online Broadway theater outlet nytix.com suggests audience members unwrap cough drops and candies before the show starts, take a shower before attending a show and refrain from giving your own rendition of popular showtunes.
"It's tempting sometimes, we know. But if you want to sing on Broadway, then you're gonna have to audition like those people up onstage did. Your fellow Broadway fans paid the big bucks to hear the professionals flex their vocal muscles, not you. Save your sweet singing for post-show karaoke," reads rule number eight.
Today, artists are reaching out to include the community, and as live theater becomes more accessible to audiences the rules aren't as black and white. Audiences at the university are filled with both those who attend many shows and students who decided to take Intro to Acting to kill off their General Education "Expressive Arts" course. For those students and others, this is the first time they have ever attended a live theater production. They are easy to spot. They are the ones in sweatpants.
"The time when people dressed up in their furs, and their pearls, and their tuxes to go see a play, that world just doesn't exist anymore," said Erin McDaniel, of UM's School of Theatre and Dance. "If you come and you're quiet when you're supposed to be quiet and you're attentive, that's really all we can ask."
McDaniel has been involved with theater since she was six and has worked as an executive assistant for the School of Theatre and Dance since 2005, a job she said is like being a company manager for a theater except she handles a cast of over 200. While she said she has yet to witness any horror stories herself, the worst have become legends within the department.
Two years ago during a theater-in-the-round performance, where the audience sits on every side of the stage, a graduate student was performing a monologue during the final dress rehearsal when she heard a clicking sound. When she looked, she saw an audience member clipping her fingernails.
"The grad student told me she stopped the show and turned and said 'when you are finished with your personal hygiene, we'll start the show again'," McDaniel said.
She said theater etiquette includes the things you could do while watching something in the comfort of your own home that you should not be doing in public in front of other people, like bringing your own snacks.
"You would not believe. Cokes, milkshakes, sandwiches, random things, not just water or a cookie you get at the concession stand that you are supposed to leave in the lobby," McDaniel said.
The evolution of cell phones into smart phones has created a huge problem, McDaniel said. Before, when all a phone could do was make and receive calls, cell phone use could be controlled. Now people think that because they aren't making any noise they aren't bothering anyone, but McDaniel said it's just like a flashbulb going off in the audience.
Long-time thespian and School of Theater and Dance publicity coordinator, Theresa Waldorf agrees.
"It's the worst, newest offense," she said. "The light is so obvious."
For Waldorf, her worst moment on stage dealing with etiquette was seeing her teenage son asleep in the front row. She said her friend even had audience members calling out suggestions for making the play more interesting. Her biggest pet peeve as a performer and an audience member is when people bring infants to the theater. She said it hardly ever works out that the baby can last the entire performance without causing a distraction.
She stressed while the actions of inconsiderate theatergoers effects the performers on stage, it's not just the actors you may be offending, it's other audience members as well.
"You need to be present to experience that moment, " she said. "Other people have paid to see the performance and they deserve to have that experience."
If you ask actors, directors or people behind the scenes, the rules of etiquette boil down to one basic idea: don't be a jackass.
Actors ask for your attention and since most people have paid to see the show, respect the performers and your fellow audience members. You don't need to dress up, but dressing nicer shows appreciation for the performers who are putting on a show for you. Don't talk during the show unless it's an emergency, use intermissions to discuss why you can't follow The Cherry Orchard.
I would add, don't text. And if you are going to be tempted, don't sit in the front row. Sit in the back where I can't see you.

Q: What should I drink on a Paleo diet?
Can I only drink water, or can I have water with artificial flavor like Crystal Light? Can we drink fruit juice, coffee, and how can we prepare it? How about soda or tea?
A: Pure, filtered water is king.
Water satiates thirst like nothing else. It's free of toxic chemicals if it's filtered properly, and it doesn't contain thyroid-compromising chlorine like most tap water does. It contains no added sugars, artificial sugars, toxic dyes, preservatives, fake vitamins, or caffeine. It's good for you, and it's definitely what our ancestors imbibed. Let's take a look at the alternatives:
Fruit juice
Fruit juice is often highly sweetened with extra sugars, and even if it isn't, it lacks the fiber and other parts of fruit that help to buffer the high glycemic response of just the sugary juice. If it's not fresh juice – I mean freshly juiced vegetables or fruits – it's also likely pasteurized, which means it's heated up to kill all the potential bacteria floating around in it. The heat also kills many of the beneficial enzymes and other nutrients that are naturally found in fruits and vegetables. If you insist on drinking juice, try diluting it 4:1 water:juice.
Coffee and Other Caffeinated Drinks
One of the best things this diet does for you is to balance out your blood sugar by providing complete, protein and fat-rich meals, instead of the standard American high-carbohydrate snacks and meals. Coffee is often a byproduct of people having unstable blood sugar, and therefore low energy; they use the coffee as a pick-me-up to keep them awake through their days. You may find that you don't need coffee anymore after a while on this diet. If you are a coffee or other caffeinated beverage (tea, decaf coffee, soda, etc.) drinker, I encourage you to give your adrenal glands and your hormones a rest by giving it up for a few weeks to see how you feel.
Sodas, Gatorade, Sweet Teas, and Other Highly Sweetened Drinks
You didn't mention them, but I'll just let you know that because they're so full of refined sugar, they're not Paleo. Besides the sugar content, they usually have weird, poisonous dyes, preservatives or artificial flavoring in them, too. "But I need my Gatorade for my workouts!" you may be exclaiming. No, you don't. Squeeze some lemon in your water if you feel like you need some electrolytes. The sugar and calories in your "sports drink" will usually do nothing more than negate the caloric deficit you just created by working out. Even if you're an über athlete, you shouldn't need to resort to high fructose corn syrup or sucrose to replenish you – fruits and starchy veggies in your normal meals should work just fine. Maybe Gatorade in its early years would have had some benefit, but it wasn't sweet enough for kids, so they loaded it with high fructose corn syrup. It also wasn't colorful enough for kids, which is why you can now buy fluorescent green and dark purple "flavors". Yellow #5 alone could be contributing to you or your kid's ADD, among other things.
Diet drinks
They're full of synthetic, toxic, artificial sweeteners like aspartame and Splenda. Artificial sweeteners are generally not good for you, as they're usually made from synthetic chemicals that are either known carcinogens or neurotoxins (cancer causing or bad for your brain). Aspartame alone has been linked with cancer, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, migraines, and many other heinous conditions. Artificial sweeteners create sugar cravings and can contribute to obesity. Even though Loren Cordain says that diet drinks are allowable some of the time, I don't agree, and I don't think he had the proper evidence at the time the book was written to know any different. Know that that there is also a lot of research (some flawed, and some paid for by the manufacturers themselves) to support the safety of artificial sweeteners, and that some people are more reactive to it than others.
Stevia and Sugar Alcohol-Sweetened Sodas
I will admit that I sometimes share a can of Zevia with my boyfriend, which is a soda sweetened with stevia and erythritol. Stevia is actually good for blood sugar control, increasing insulin sensitivity. But don't be fooled by some products that tout stevia as a sweetener; always read the ingredient labels, as they may have just added stevia to an arsenal of other toxic sweeteners. Sugar alcohols seem to be alright, although they do have a slight effect on blood sugar and insulin levels, and they may cause diarrhea in some people.
Herbal Teas
Like chamomile, nettle, peppermint or ginger? Yes.
Since our distant ancestors would have had an, er, exciting time trying to milk a wild horse or a mastodon, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that they didn't drink it unless it came from their human mother. There's a lot of research that says pasteurized cow milk products (which is what most of our milk products are nowadays) are insulin-spiking, cancer-causing, acne-provoking foods. Raw milk (unpasteurized, non-homogenized) may be a different story. Read my blog post, "Is Dairy Paleo?" for more information on the ins and outs of pasteurized vs. raw milk.
Last but not least, I'll touch on alcohol. All of the Paleo gurus agree that the occasional drink isn't going to kill you. I agree. Animals, including us, have probably been getting drunk on naturally fermented (alcoholic) foods (think apples that have been sitting on the ground for way too long) for a very long time. Drinking feels good sometimes – it can be fun. However, too much alcohol creates beer bellies and off-kilter cholesterol levels, among many other things, so watch yourself. Also, when you're on this diet for a while and then you drink, your liver will let you know about it the next day (Read: your hangovers may be worse). And since many alcohols are made with grains, you may get the same symptoms you get when you eat bread. Just watch your body's responses to different alcohols as you start eating Paleo and figure out what works for you. I like tequila and mead because the high quality kinds are not made with grains, but I only drink them once or twice a month because I get so tired the next day.
In conclusion, drink water — and drink lots of it. Stay away from plastic bottles, since they are ridiculously wasteful, leach hormone-disrupting plastic chemicals into your water, and usually come from a tap water source, anyway. Drink the other things we covered as seldom as possible, and listen to your own body to find out how much of each you can tolerate. If you're a heavy drinker of anything but water, I strongly suggest that, to get the most out of the Paleo Diet, you STOP drinking your favorite beverage for at least a few weeks to see if you feel any different/better. Then drink it again and see how it makes you feel. You may be surprised by what you find. As with food, make sure you can conjure an image of each of the ingredients on your drink's label before you pour it into your body.
So there's the breakdown on Paleo beverages. Are there any drinks I missed? Has anyone noticed any differences in their need for caffeine after being on the diet for a while? Or in the way alcohol makes you feel? As always, your experiences are really helpful for other readers.

How about fresh coconut water?
Is almond milk part of the paleo diet? Also, I'm a huge fan of soda but I also like sparkling water. Can I mix fresh squeezed juice with sparkling water as a sort of substitute for soda?
What about green tea or OOh-loong tea?
Wow, this was So helpful. I will put it to good use. Thanks for sharing!
I disagree with the idea of no coffee. Coffee comes with a whole heap of health benefits and other amazing things. Its not overly processed (Decaff is so i wouldn't recommend that) As long as you're only drinking one a day there is no reason to stop it. The caffeine content in both tea and coffee is one of the reasons why humanity became as intelligent and focused as we are now. I recommend drinking black espresso. Don't drink instant or decaffinated coffee and if espresso is too strong turn it into a long black with a bit of hot water.
I'm a week late but I have to plug two of my favorite drinks. Tap water infused with mint is entirely Paleo-friendly, isn't it? As is tap water with a squeeze of lemon or lime? (That's even better than your 4:1 ratio.) And they're both delicious, dirt cheap, and environmentally friendly.
Can you drink soy milk??
What about decaf black tea? Is that heavily processed and does it still containing some caffeine? I had been starting my day with one cup of black tea every morning and sometimes a cup of coffee later in the day. Since stopping all caffeine for a week, I feel that I have more energy and feel much more energetically stable. I do, however, miss the taste of black tea and therefore wonder about your thoughts on decaf black or green tea. Thank you for all your valuable advice on this site.
How about grain based coffee substitutes like Kaffix and postum? It seems obvious that they are grain and should be a "no", but I enjoy my coffee substitute in the morning.
Whey Protein drinks, after work out? or even just when in a rush..
How do I get pure, filtered water?
What about hot tea with honey? Is that paleo friendly?
Is it okay to drink soda water – carbinated water?
What about Mio water enhancer?
Really? They've been advertising it like crazy in Texas. It contains: water, malic acid, propylene glycol, citric acid, potassium citrate, etc. 0 fats, carbs, etc. But, if you haven't heard of it, you haven't heard of it. Thanks for all the great guidance for the Paleo lifestyle. Take care.
Hi. I really enjoyed reading all this, it was really helpful. I wanted to know if drinking green tea (like home made from a tea bag) is part of the diet?
I usually stick to water and almond milk but I heard green tea is good for your metabolism ?
Can you have Club Soda?
What kind of mead is the best? I've read There is a lot of different types
I seriously love your blog.. Excellent colors
Homebrewed mead is the best ;)
I love tea but only sweeted with raw unfiltered honey, is honey ok?? I've heard mixed results on this
Your posts are so helpful- thank you! You might have already covered this but I just wanted to clarify, is chai tea with almond milk paleo? I know the caffeine isn't great for me but I need the boost some mornings.
Green tea is listed as ok- but it too contains caffeine? Please advise. Thank you .
Can you drink plain canned broth or stock heated in the microwave in the mornings instead of coffee?
What about Tonic Water? My doctor is having me drink it to help prevent the horrendous feet cramps that I am prone to getting. It really has helped.
Just curious if your opinion in the last year has changed on Kombucha? I Have a sluggish digestive system and it always seems to help. I am hypo, not sure whats causing it Graves or hashi. So I am moving to Paleo potentially going with an Autoimmune protocol, thinking that the hypo and digestive issues are related to it…….any thoughts?
Neely , my question is I had gastric bypass 8 years ago and had a baby last year which has resulted in 40pound weight gain . Is the paleo diet safe for me & should I only eat a 1,000 calories a day for optimal weightloss ? Thanks
what about aloe viera juice. whole leaf.
How much water should you drink a day on a Paleo diet (160 lb. man)?
I honestly hate drinking plain water can I make my own fruit infused water I need some flavor so I guess lemons and limes squeezed in will be fine and wat bout seltzer water with natural fruit flavor that contains no sweetners
What about "Not from concentrate" Organic Apple Juice?
I have attempted to go paleo once before and I have again started it today with better planning.
I know for the first week maybe a bit longer there will be a transition period from your body getting used to a new way of eating. I am just looking to find out what to expect because the last time I was feeling sluggish and came across negative articles and I let them in to my head. Can you give any advice on what to expect?
So no Diet Dr Pepper???
What about Welch's White Grape Juice 1:4 with water?
My husband is diabetic and has stayed the paleo diet. Is it safe for him to cut out carbs completely?
Can you drink almond milk that comes in a carton? It has cane sugar, bean gum, and some other things but wasnt sure. I have also been thinking about doing the paleo diet because i cannot eat gluten and have digestive issues. Since i hav ebeen eating gluten free for awhile do you think it will be an easier transition as far as detoxing goes? I still have some sort of sugar addiction and crave it often so i eat processed and refined foods still just not nearly as much as i did growing up. Also, is it any kind of butter that you can eat? Sorry for all the questions but this is the most helpful site i have found!
Is "Silk" coconut milk ok on Paleo? I've been making ice coffees with it with a little coconut sugar. Do you think this is a ok drink? If not, do you have any suggestions or ideas for substitutes?
Sorry to say, I really dislike this post. It would be much more helpful to talk about what people can drink then to focus on the forbidden stuff. There's a lot of healthy drinks that aren't tea or water.
I did read your post about diet drinks, does that include diet tea? Because I drink diet iced tea, I was wondering if this is okay or if I should try substituting it? I don't like green tea so I might have an issue with the substitution.
so tap and bottled water is a no?
then where do i get my water? .__.
coconut milk with no added sugars or sweeteners ok?
How about tomato juice? I'm having a hard time getting a definitive answer on this one. Before you say I can make it myself, i'm already making so many things from scratch and I really just want to go out and be able to buy a can of tomato juice.
Enjoy the blog, 2 days in and pushing through the fog. I currently use a Brita filter. We run tap water through the filter and keep it in the fridge. Is this sufficient to be considered filtered water?
I started the Paleo diet four months ago and gave up my morning coffee. I am 70 years old and have been drinking one cup of coffee in the morning for 50 years. With good advice from a nutritionist, I weaned off it without any migraine headaches. I now make chicory coffee in a french press and add vanilla almond milk (I add vanilla extract to almond milk) and a little cocoa. It is very satisfying. If there is anyone out there who wants to give up coffee, I suggest you try a chicory drink. I gave up all grains since I was born with celiac disease. I no longer eat gluten free grains (no corn, quinoa, rice, amaranth). It is fun creating ways to substitute foods.
Probably a dumb question but what about unsweet Decaffeinated Tea?
Crystal Light?
Water with fruit? (Lemons& Strawberries, or berries)
Fresh Fruit w/water mix together and left over night something like a detox water?
Where do you get calcium from?
Why can't we drink Chrystal light
Is there any pre packaged salad dressings ok
What do you recommend in place of a sports drink?
I'm a cyclist and do a couple 2-3-hour rides a week. Water isn't enough to take on the bike.
I don't do any grains or added sugars, which cuts out energy bars. I sometimes eat a little almond or sunflower butter before the ride, but on long days that's not quite enough.
Any suggestions?
What about salt? And if no any acceptable substitutions?
I workout (cardio and intermediate weightlifting) and I kind of need protein powders to function more efficiently. Are protein powders acceptable?
I am a 73 year old woman with type 2 diabetes. I have severe neuropathy in my feet and now starting in my hand. I am also a bowel cancer survivor and I am limited to the amount of red meat I eat because of this. Is Paleo for me and what modifications should I make.
How about Pero? Have you heard of it?
Wow this was so helpful I have skin problems and have taken gluten and processed foods and sugar out of my diet. I'm moving towards Pablo diet I have been also working on taking nightshade out of my diet do to my HS. It's been 2 weeks and only drinking water. I found that adding some fresh cucumber to my water taste great. I was a big soda energy drink consumer. I have been feeling great to be honest. I have been drinking one cup of coffee with a bit of cream I have a friend who told me to use almond milk instead. Thanks for the great information it helps.
I have to disagree witht he comment about milking horses or mastadons. Horses were and continue today to be a main food source for the people groups in the area now known as Mongolia. Here's an article:
Hi guys. Love this post. I'm reading a flavored seltzer water bottle and it contains aspartame. But there are no grams of sugar on the nutrition facts label. Can I drink this whole doing the whole30?
Thought I'd mention that canned drinks, including Zevia soda, and coconut milk, coconut water and any cartons (tetrapaks) of drinks (almond milk, etc) or soups are all lined with plastic which is an endocrine disruptor, even the BPA free ones!! Those toxins aren't particularly paleo:-(
How about ginger tea? Just ginger root and water boiled. I use a little honey for sweetener.
With regard to alcohol, I believe wine would be preferable to beer. Paleolithic hunter-gatherers may have occasionally eaten fermented fruit such as grapes, but beer is made entirely from grains, a product of agriculture. Obviously, too much alcohol of any kind is a no-no.
I was wondering if the Brand Alo Exposed is ok to drink on the Paleo lifestyle?
Can you drink almond milk ?

BUIES CREEK - Campbell rallied from an early 5-0 deficit to score 18 unanswered runs in an 18-5 victory over North Carolina A&T on Tuesday night at Taylor Field. Ben McQuown went 3-for-4 with four RBI and four runs scored to lead the Camel offensive effort as Campbell improved to 27-7 on the season. North Carolina A&T falls to 12-20 overall.
The Aggies got on the board with a five-run second inning, using five hits and one error to take the early 5-0 lead. Dairio Little contributed a two-RBI single during the stretch for the Aggies, part of a 3-for-5 night at the plate for the junior infielder.
CU got one run back in the bottom of the second, with David Olson scoring on Michael DeLucia's RBI single. DeLucia was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in his second start of the season.
Campbell took the lead in the third inning when the Camels scored six runs, triggered by consecutive walks to begin the frame. McQuown then added an RBI single and Michael Felton followed with a single that loaded the bases. After Jake Kirkland was hit by a pitch, Olson tallied an RBI single to push the lead to 4-2. Nick Ray added a sacrifice fly and two more runners later scored on wild pitches.
In a six-run fifth inning for the Camels, McQuown contributed a three-RBI double that tied his season high for RBI. Olson then added a two-run homer to left field that increased the CU lead to 16-5. Olson was 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored in the game.
Paul Eyster (2-1) picked up the win for the Camels, tossing four innings of no-hit, shutout ball in relief of Heath Bowers. Eyster collected five strikeouts while walking no Aggie batters. Andrew Cook (0-4) took the loss for A&T, surrendering four hits and six runs in two-plus innings of work.
Jordan Farthing and Michael Griffin each pitched a scoreless inning of relief for the Camels during the eighth and ninth innings.
Campbell returns to action on Wednesday evening when the Camels travel to Durham Athletic Park to take on North Carolina Central at 6 p.m. North Carolina A&T travels to Radford on Wednesday to face the Highlanders.

Dow Drops 411 Points After Paulson Changes Bailout Plan
Wall Street got some promised financial relief yanked away by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, sending stocks sharply lower on Wednesday. Paulson urged expansion of TARP funds, but said that money won't be used to purchase illiquid mortgage-related assets of financial institutions as originally planned.
This news gave jittery investors even more reason to keep selling stocks. The major indexes were already deep in the red before Paulson's morning announcement on news that retailers Best Buy (BBY) and Macy's (M) continued to show strain from the weak economy. Traders were also watching the fate of U.S. automakers being decided in Washington.
Selling picked up in the last half hour of trading on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 411.30 points, or 4.73%, to 8,282.66. This level is still above the Dow's trading low of 7,773.71 on Oct. 10, and its recent closing low of 8,175.77 on Oct. 27.
The broad S&P 500 index fell 46.65 points, or 5.19%, to 852.30. And the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite dropped 81.69 points, or 5.17%, to 1,499.21.
In a major change, Paulson said the $700 billion government rescue program will not be used to purchase illiquid mortgage-related assets of financial institutions. He said the administration will continue to use $250 billion of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to purchase stock in banks as a way to bolster their balance sheets and encourage them to resume more normal lending. He said the Treasury Dept. was considering a second round of capital injections to match private injections.
"He basically came out and said [buying troubled assets] was a bad idea," says Peter Cohan, author and management consultant at Peter S. Cohan & Associates in Marlborough, Mass. "I thought it wouldn't work because of the challenges of setting the prices of the troubled assets." Under the original rescue plan to purchase bad assets, there was no way to set a price that works for the taxpayer and the banks - so it was a nonstarter to begin with, Cohan says.
The Treasury has just $60 billion left in its rescue fund, and either the current or next administration will have to turn to Congress to request the second half of the promised $700 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal. So far, the Treasury has committed $250 billion to banks and is spending an additional $40 billion to buy preferred shares in American International Group (AIG), the WSJ reports.
The lingering worries about a recession aren't going away anytime soon and are likely to keep pressuring stock prices. Cohan notes that the market has gone from a volatile one with a lot of ups and downs to just big downs. "It's just maximum selling every day," he says.
Cohan notes that many hedge funds and endowments continue to dump stocks. "There's just a lot of big institutional selling pressure," he says, while smaller investors are already out of the market.
Shares of General Motors (GM) and Ford (F) were higher Wednesday on news Democratic leaders will push legislation to use a portion of the $700 billion bailout fund to rescue U.S. automakers, which also include the privately owned Chrysler.
Best Buy (BBY) said October same-store sales dropped 7.6%, and estimates that same-store sales for November to February could decline 5% to 15%. The electronics retailer cut its 2009 fiscal year earnings guidance from a range of $3.25-$3.40 to a range of $2.30-$2.90.
"Since mid-September, rapid, seismic changes in consumer behavior have created the most difficult climate we've ever seen," said Best Buy chief executive Brad Anderson. "Best Buy simply can't adjust fast enough to maintain our earnings momentum for this year."
Best Buy's troubles reflect "a huge division in consumer goods, between products that consumers can buy with cash vs. goods that need to be financed," says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago. "Financing is scare -- that's hurting sales. We're seeing it in autos, we're seeing it in furniture."
However, another retailer's outlook wasn't as dire. Macy's (M) posted a narrower-than-expected loss of 8 cents per share in the last quarter, vs. earnings of 10 cents a year ago, as same-store sales fell 6% and total sales dropped 7%. The department store chain reiterated its fiscal 2009 earnings guidance, and said it expects same store sales to fall 1% to 6% in the fourth quarter.
American Express (AXP) shares fell on reports that the company is seeking roughly $3.5 billion in taxpayer-funded capital from the federal government.
Prudential Financial (PRU) declared an annual dividend of 58 cents per share, a 50% decrease from 2007's common stock dividend.
Bob Evans Farms (BOBE) posted earnings of 37 cents per share, vs. 45 cents a year ago, as same-store sales fell 0.5%. The firm raised its quarterly cash dividend 14%.
AK Steel Holding Corp. (AKS) said the economic downturn was prompted the company to temporarily idle its Mansfield, Ohio plant and close most of its Ashland, Kentucky operations.
In other U.S. markets, NYMEX crude oil fell $3.63 to $55.70 a barrel, making a 20-month low on concerns about the economic outlook. Gold futures were off $16.90 to $715.90.
Bonds rose in price Wednesday after returning from a Veteran's Day break. The 10-year notes yield fell to 3.65%, and 30-year bond yield fell to 4.17%.
In a speech in Luxembourg, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn said the central bank is prepared to take additional steps to stabilize malfunctioning financial markets and support a faltering U.S. economy, Reuters reports. "Although we have seen signs of improvement, financial market functioning remains impaired in many ways, and we will need to continue to consider whether additional steps are needed to reopen credit flows and support the economy," Kohn said in prepared remarks at a Banque Centrale du Luxembourg event. He said some tools created to combat the crisis may become a permanent part of central bank instruments; these include currency swaps between central banks and the Fed's auctions of discount window credit.
World stock markets were mostly lower Wednesday. Reuters reports the Bank of England predicted the British economy will shrink sharply next year and inflation will tumble, suggesting that it will cut interest rates even below their current half-century low. In its gloomiest set of forecasts in more than a decade, the central bank said the economy had probably already entered recession and was likely to contract more throughout 2009.
On Wednesday, in London, the FTSE 100 index was down 1.5% to 4,182, Paris' CAC 40 index lost 3.1% to 3,233.96, and Germany's DAX index fell nearly 3% to 4,620.80.
Major Asian indexes were also lower. Japan's Nikkei 225 index dropped 1.29% to 8,695.51. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index lost 0.73% to 13,939.09.

As a citizen of the fourth congressional district along Kentucky's northern shore, I want to remind folks there is a Democratic primary for Congress on Tuesday May 22, 2012. As you read this, I want you to consider that there are issues which will impact you or members of your family that are not being discussed by the candidates or the media. One such issue is Medicare.
It's that time of year again, to start mowing and keeping weeds cut. Our ordinance states that grass shall not be taller than 8 inches and weeds no taller than 12 inches. We had to send out several notices last year on maintaining grass and weeds and I hope we don't have to send out that many this year.
As most of Owen and Gallatin County know, on March 2, our home on 127 North was destroyed by the tornado that went through. Fortunately, considering we were upstairs in the middle of it all, Lindsay and I made it out with only minor injuries. We were so thankful to see those of you who helped us at the hospital and for the encouraging words from so many of you.
I am very proud to endorse Wanda Crupper Hammons for state representative. Wanda has what it takes to do a great job. I have known Wanda and her family for many years and, without a doubt, she is the best candidate in this race. She will be an outstanding legislator and voice in Frankfort.
For the past 13 years, I have had the special privilege of being apart of the Charlie Satterwhite Memorial Golf Outing. It has truly been a labor of love for me. I have enjoyed meeting so many new people and working with some incredible corporate sponsors to make this event a huge success. This year after paying the bills, we raised a little over $7,000 for our two charitable groups. To all the golfers who participated, I offer my sincerest appreciation. I also have to thank the following sponsors who made our event so successful.

Myth: Paying an Annual Fee Is a Waste of Money
Fact: Actually, the card can be worth the price. Before you sign up for one, do some calculations to see if the benefits you receive pay for or exceed the yearly charge. There are numerous cards (often ones with travel-related rewards) that may meet this criterion. For example, Delta's Gold SkyMiles American Express card ($95 annual fee, waived the first year) lets cardholders check one bag for free on every flight, for a savings of $50 round-trip. And the fee waiver is extended to nine people on the same reservation, so a family of four could save up to $200 with one round-trip.
Myth: There's No Harm in Signing Up for Store Cards
Fact: Retailers entice customers to open credit-card accounts by offering promotions, discounts, rewards programs, 0 percent financing, and other perks in addition to saving (typically 10 to 15 percent) on purchases made the day you open the account. Some of these store cards can be worth having, but don't sign up for every card you're offered—that will put you at risk of racking up debt. "If you want retail credit cards, get them from the one or two stores that you frequent the most, since you probably won't use them regularly and may lose track of when the bills are due," says Bill Harde-kopf, the chief executive of LowCards.com, a credit-card-comparison site.
This rule of thumb especially holds true if you're in the market for a loan. Why? Each application for a new credit card triggers an inquiry on your credit report; opening several accounts in a short time makes you look like a risky borrower and could reduce your credit score by up to 30 points, says Hardekopf. As a result, you might qualify only for a loan with unfavorable terms.
Another scenario in which you should never have store cards: You tend to carry a revolving balance. Issuers typically charge interest rates that exceed 20 percent (compared with an average of 14 percent and up for regular cards).

I may be in the minority here but if I saw a man with an AK wearing a molle vest and a hockey mask walking through Sears, the food court or anywhere else in the mall. I would go to code red immediately. If I had the ability I would put him down. IMO it would certainly qualify as a soon to be mass shooter. I think the "reasonable man" could only conclude that this was a murderer on his way to do murder. BANG!
From a tactical standpoint I would do my best to not blow my cover until I could shoot him multiple times in the back from as close as possible.
This may come across as the reply of an old grouch (which the family says I am), but......
I expect we would all call the cavalry. After that......
I know you can see it in your head, your local mall, but it's in your head, from the safety of your house. Just like the slouched guy in the hoodie on that dark street walking toward you. You have all the stress free time in the world to form a plan in the easy chair.
Chances are, in real time you won't have any time.
Other than my house, I make no plans and I envision no scenarios. If the wheels come off, it will not be like anything I have envisioned. And it will be fast. All you can do is stay sharp.
Heroes all have one thing in common: they had no intention of being heroes.
if i was alone, i would try to get very close behind him to take him out, i would probably try to tackle him and disarm him, and yes he has already broken the law in my state. wearing masks on any other day other than holloween. what reasonble person would think he didn't have evil intentions?
If I see something or someone that I feel is suspicious...I put as much space and cover as possible between myself/family and the potential BG. No I won't follow him or confront him. My first rule of a gun fight is to avoid a gun fight whenever possible.
Hey you looking for customer service, you have a warrantee problem with that?
First find good cover and seek an exit. If its an easy exit, i might stay under good cover and observe and report what i see to 911.If i can go from cover to cover and follow and observe od do that.I would go until i find my safe exit opportunity diminishes.A guy with a rifle beats me and my subcompact, because he would have range, however if this guy is excuting people up and down the hall i would hope i could return fire enough to be of use to those people.Of course in such a situation everything happens super fast and mentaly super slow so these are just thoughts sitting down here with little adrenaline pumping through me. It may pay more and be better that i safely help others out the exit to saftey while providing some amount of cover for them..Simple basic rules i would follow because they are solid things you can remember to do in such a horrible event. Seek cover,secure an exit, provide any assistance,report all that i see.
Dial 911 while running the opposite direction... I practice this. YMMV
saying i was with my fiance and daughter (shes 3) they love malls. it would be pretty nerve racking for them and me to here an ak or ar rounds shooting off indoors. i would have her call 911 while i look for an exit, if we couldn't make it to one safely and never splitting up!. if not we would get into a corner that i could use to my advantage and use myself and my fiance as body shields to protect are daughter we would wait it out if he came close enough to us and only if i was confident i could get a good shot at him then id shoot for chest up and dump my whole clip assuming everyone else around would be crouched so i wouldn't hit any innocent people. if that didn't happen we would stay in corner i'm not going to be a hero and have my daughter grow up with out a father. hope it never happens to us or anyone else again..
Cunningham was in line at the fuel desk at the PILOT truckstop in Paulsboro ,NJ to pay for the fuel he had just pumped in his rig .Henoticed that the 'greasy looking dude with the greasy dreadlocks' in front of him holding Twinkies in one hand and a super size coffee in the other was packing . Marine Corps took over ! Don't Think ! ACT!
260 lbs of Cunningham screamed GUN! and tackled the 150lb scumbag . They knocked over 4 display racks and scattered customers everywhere . Cunningham got him to the floor and secured the weapon . That's when he felt the cold muzzle of a 9mm against his temple and heard the command "DON'T MOVE".
Next question was directed to the perp under Cunningham . "What's going on, Bernie?" "Get this big s.o.b. off me and we'll figure this out ."
The two undercover narc's were very reasonable about the whole situation when it was sorted out . They respected him for wanting to be a hero and didn't take him to jail . The PILOT manager didn't ask for compensation for damages from the 'wannabe hero'. AND he didn't get his head blown off for instigating a situation because he didn't think .
Hope this long post got a point across .
Don't go in Malls.
I am not a cop and don't have dog in the fight! MEANING, you carry for you. want to act like a cop you are going to jail! call it in,,stay and observe,,your judgement. Do not be the first to act. You carry for personal protection period!

Quote:If you want to skip my 2cents worth, here's the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAF9J-RmXucIt's an episode of Fight Science on National Geographic. Probably been discussed already, but I just saw it, so forgive me if this is a rehash.Long story short, they looked at the mechanics of several styles to determine which one delivered the strongest punch and kick.The strongest punch was delivered by a boxer. The strongest kick was actually not a kick at all, but a knee delivered Muay Thai style. The knee collapsed the chest cavity 2 inches and was equivalent to being hit by a car at 35 MPH. OUCH!

text: Ok, I need some help. I have a full auto turbo timer from greddy that i just purchased. I hooked it up, and everything works fine, but I can't operate it. I can push p+s to change the timer settings, but no matter how many times i try, I can't get it to go into batt, speed, stop, or attack modes. I really only want the speed mode. The instructions say that you have to push p+s+t and let go of S first, but every time I do this, it just shows me the countdown setting. Does anyone have any advice? I've searched all over, and I've searched for a customer service number to greddy, and I can't come up with anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Long Now Foundation is hiring volunteers to curate their "Manual for Civilization," a collection of 3500 volumes to be shelved in the Long Now Salon. Founded in "01996," Long Now seeks "to creatively foster long-term thinking and responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years." The Long Now Salon will be "a place for conversation around long-term thinking…equal parts library, bar, museum, and cafe." Founding Board Member Brian Eno will design the sound that will fill the space as you peruse Asimov and Le Guin, the Whole Earth Catalog and whatever else curators choose to include, as the barista noisily grinds beans and steams milk for your macchiato.
Among Long Now's other projects is the 10,000 Year Clock. It is now under construction inside a mountain in western Texas, where it will tick, unaided by human maintenance, for the next ten millennia. Of course, as Michael Chabon pointed out in a Details article several years ago, even if the mechanical components of this ultimate timepiece fail at some point, it will already have achieved its mission– "to revive and restore the whole idea of the Future, to get us thinking about the future again." Another project, the Rosetta Disk, contributes to this mission by preserving 1,500 human languages in texts micro-etched on a nickel disc the size of your palm–the prototype resides at The Smithsonian. I imagine (hope) there will be replicas of these artifacts displayed in the Salon.
If I were a curator, I'd create a section stocked with my favorite books and films of dystopian, alternative, and fantastic futures: the Mel Gibson/Tina Turner vehicle Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Cormac Macarthy's The Road, the 1980 cult classic Flash Gordon, Alan Weisman's majestic thought experiment The World Without Us, Kyle Miner's short story "The Truth and All Its Ugly," and, in honor of my father, the sci-fi box office flop Enemy Mine.
While I'm only half-serious about including these beloved works, I actually might apply for the position. If the Salon is destroyed by earthquake (it will be located in San Francisco's Fort Mason Center) or nuclear war or malignant neglect following a wipeout of the West Coast's population by viral epidemic or Martian attack or climate change that fries the soil and desiccates humanity, then my contributions won't comprise much of a lasting monument. However, if the optimism of the Long Now Foundation finds fulfillment in the survival and continuous flourishing of human civilization 10,000 years into the future, then someday a student might lose himself in the stacks of the Salon to kill time in the afternoons, and stumble upon a volume or two that I selected. It gives me pleasure now to think that this future student might flip through a reproduction of my copy of T.K. Peters' Story of the Crypt of Civilization. By then, it will likely have been transferred onto some as yet uninvented material, like paper-thin pages of synthetic rock, lightweight and nearly indestructible.
Unlike many diehard sci-fi fans, my longing for other times never reaches forward, only backward, to decades captured perfectly in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris: the Roaring Twenties of the Lost Generation, the fin-de-siècle scenes swirling with painters and writers and critics, poets and sculptors, drunk on this, dying from that. In actuality, I love my life now, and, despite these occasional time-travel fantasy, I would not want to live in any of these other, more storied decades (the same realization reached by Owen Wilson). These impossible times, as we imagine them, never existed, but this does not stop us from imagining them, often using books to do it, accompanied by a coffee, needing only a comfortable chair by a big window through which we can project our daydreams and nostalgia. See you at the Salon.

1. Re: Oracle OnTrack Plugin Problem848319 Mar 17, 2011 5:45 PM (in response to 829207)Hi Andreas,1 person found this helpful
The On Track installation that you are running against should be configured with SSL. It is a bug that the plug-in repository allows the XPI to be generated if the site is not properly configured. Thank you for pointing that out. What site are you testing against?
I am sorry for your frustration. The underlying problem is most likely due to the plug-in not trusting the site you are using it against. Unless it believes the site is valid and secure it will not allow any of its functions to be used which the UI displays as requiring an update. There should be someone from Oracle working with your site administrator who could help resolve this. Also in newer versions of the plug-in it will present you with a dialog explaining the situation and allowing you- as the end user- to explicitly choose to trust the site that is requesting access to the plug-in.
If you could let me know which site you are using I'll try to track down who can best resolve this issue for you.
2. Re: Oracle OnTrack Plugin Problem848319 Mar 17, 2011 6:01 PM (in response to 848319)Andreas, also note that if you are the site administrator and have configured the site with SSL then changing the plug-in repository URL in the admin console to reflect the use of SSL will cause the XPI to be regenerated to match.

3. Re: Oracle OnTrack Plugin Problem829207 Mar 17, 2011 6:17 PM (in response to 848319)Logan,
I am not frustrated at all. The product looks awesome and you really do a great job on it. We are testing every corner of this and thats why we are hitting this issues.
We have set an internal testing environment for evaluation purpose. I set SSL on weblogic server with the Demo certificate and change the install.rdf on OnTrack.xpi file to point urlUpdate to something like this
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mozilla:install-manifest"
em:name="OnTrack plugin"
em:description="OnTrack Real Time Features plugin"
This solve the installation issue on firefox.
With regards to the security settings I have to set on our OnTrack site, please be free to give my personal email (see my profile) to anyone who can pointme to the rigth direction.
Andres de Barbara
4. Re: Oracle OnTrack Plugin Problem829207 Apr 3, 2011 2:33 PM (in response to 829207)I install the new version of the plug-in (v92). Now a dialog appears telling me about the site has a incorrect certificate. Accepting the certificate fix my problem
thanks a lot

Updated Company Policy
Dress Code
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly you need to learn to manage your money better so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.
Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
Personal Days
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.
Bereavement Leave
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the Arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.
Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet.
There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders" category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.
Lunch Break
Skinny people get 60 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a Positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplation, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.I cut things up and split them down!

Every so often in American life some woman appears on the stage of power, since for some reason, men find her attractive or intriguing or something. The latest Mata Hari is one who is called, Jill Kelly. Dark haired, with big breasts and somehow appealing to men, Ms. Kelly is now in the center of a storm of political conflict. Republicans have discovered the women who played some sort of role in the infamous Petraeus affair actually went on a TOUR OF THE WHITE HOUSE! Wow! Imagine an American citizen going on a tourist tour of the White House! Gee, what next, walking up the Statue of Liberty??
I guess each man has his version of which woman is gorgeous or sensual. I would quite easily pass by this woman without a second glance. But, then again, she gives parties and charity events while heavily into debt. THAT is the most intriguing aspect of this woman. How does one live the good life while broke? I have no doubt some conservative pundit has commissioned a book whose purpose is to prove that Kelly was the secret lover of President Obama or, she was the lesbian partner of Michelle.
Tune in for the next report about Kelly. Just in, she was seen on a boat that was going around Manhattan island!

This was, to say the least, awkward. The pastor resigned, moved out of the state and entered counselling. Three weeks later he announced he was now "entirely heterosexual".
This got me thinking. I am heterosexual, nearly 50 years old - in other words, basically a neuter. If this programme could take him from homosexual to heterosexual in just three weeks, what could it do for me? Perhaps it could restore me to the man I was at 20, when I could have had sex five or six times a day, if only I could have found a woman capable of overlooking my boorish, immature posturing and effeminate 70s hairstyle.
So I enrolled in the counselling programme and, slowly, I began to feel a change.
Soon I was totally gay.
How did I know? Well, for one thing, whenever Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came on television, my eyes strayed towards Brad. Also, I had become better dressed, more thoughtful and an infinitely better conversationalist.
I have nothing against homosexuality, but I am married, to a woman, and very much against adultery. So I went back into counselling.
Soon I was once again completely heterosexual. Just to make sure, I stayed an extra week. And wow! When I came out, I was more hetero than ever. I was super-messy and went around picking up cars with one hand while eating raw meat with the other. I thought about women so much I'd sometimes forget I was holding a car in the air and the people inside would have to throw things at me to get me to put them down. If there were any women inside, I asked them out on dates.
This was problematic. I was still against adultery but, driven by my counselling-induced biological needs, was constantly trying to commit it. Luckily, I was so repulsive in my exaggerated heterosexuality that everyone said no to me, even my wife, thus keeping me morally pure.
So I went back into counselling to see if they could restore my previous level of heterosexuality. But it turns out sexual-preference counselling is an inexact science, and they accidentally made me extremely religious! So I've started my own evangelical church. Because the counselling eradicated all my interest in sex, my church is the first in America against not only homosexuality, but also heterosexuality. We believe people should basically keep their hands off each other, while dressing in ugly, baggy clothing.
Do you agree? Would you like to join my church? If not, you probably need counselling.

Accused Neo-Nazi Hooligan Benjamin Brinsa Signs With the UFC
Earlier this month, the UFC signed Benjamin The Hooligan Brinsa, a 13-0 welterweight prospect from Leipzig, Germany. That name might not mean anything to you, but for followers of the German MMA scene, it carries some very negative connotations.
True to his nickname, Brinsa is a member of the Leipzig-based hooligan group Scenario LOK. Brinsas MMA team, La Familia, reportedly has connections to the local Neo-Nazi scene, and Brinsa himself used to help run a mail-order service for Neo-Nazi rock music. Here are a few excerpts from German news articles that share more details about Brinsas questionable background and connections (rough translations via Google)
Linksunten, 5/10/13
La Familia borders on xenophobia and extremism La Familia [is where] violent neo-Nazis from the spectrum of the National Boys train (JN) and the sponsors and fighters of LaFamilia are known neo-Nazis. The most famous of them is Benjamin Brinsa, a fighter [who] in the past was in combat sporting events such as the Respect Fighting Championship in Essen, but was discharged because of his right machinations.
Brinsa is a member of the right-hooligan group Scenario LOK from Leipzig and posed behind a banner reading ultras LOK National Resistance. In addition, he was with Thomas Persdorf, a nationally known neo Nazi and operator of the shipment Front Records, registered as a director of a company that managed the site Aryan Brotherhood. According to information from the Leipzig anti-fascist magazine Gamma, he is said to have worked as a janitor in the national center in Leipzig-Lindenau. Brinsa received a stadium ban in Leipzig due to his violence. He and his friend Christopher Joker Henze, also a member of the right-hooligan group Scenario LOK were received with open arms by La Familia and courted as two powerful new additions with aggressive fighting style
La Familias prominent members include a number of neo-Nazis [who] train there for their attacks on other people. These include several people in the National Boys (JN) (the NPD youth organization). Among them, Mario Alexander Müller, convicted neo-Nazi from Delmenhorst. He was recently convicted of an attack on an anti-fascists from Delmenhorst
One of the ticket agencies and sponsors of LaFamilia Fight Night is the Tattoo & Piercing Studio White Skull in the street Köthener Halle-Trotha. There works Florian Jass, a neo-Nazi from the area who participated in the neo-Nazi rally on May 01, 2011 in Halle
Taz.de, 8/3/12
On Thursday of last week, there suddenly appeared in the Martial Arts Board, an MMA Internet forum, an anonymous open letter titled: Nazis during Respect Fighting Championship 7?. It [gave] evidence that Benjamin Brinsa [belonged to] the Leipzig hooligan scene and has close ties to Nazi scene.
In an article of the German magazine contrasts, also linked to the anonymous writer explains a hooded hooligan hatred of Jews, foreigners and blacks. A comparison of language and voice with an interview of the fighter Benjamin Brinsa suggests: it is the same man. [Ed. note: That part is sort of hard to parse out, but basically, a video of a masked hooligan was shown on German TV talking about his hatred of the aforementioned minority groups, and he was identified as Brinsa from his voice.]
[Respect Fighting Championship] organiser Ben Helm was initially reluctant. In Martial Arts Board, he explained, we will have no room for a neo-fascist or racist fighter in RESPECT.FC, [but] quoted at the same time from a statement that Brinsa had made to him, in that he rejects the allegations and explained to have nothing to do with Nazis. Helm left him on the fight card.
However, it lasted only one day, until the swarm intelligence of the network had further researched. Came to light: Leipzig Antifa activists have written several times about Brinsa and published photos. On we see him in a group of men behind a fan Poster: ultras locomotive National Resistance
Brinsa, as is apparent from the Commercial Register of the Local Court of Leipzig is also registered Managing Director of A & B UG Service, which is responsible for the site of an Aryan Brotherhood (Aryan Brotherhood). Co-CEO is Thomas Persdorf and the latest on this point, the level of Nazi prominence is achieved because Persdorf was also owner of Front Records, a leading distributor of Nazi music clothing and other right accessories.
On Monday this week, [Helm] decided to take Brinsa off the fight card: I wanted beforehand obviously a few things not quite see, [??] confessed Helm contrite. The good fight record, the sporting successes Brinsas had been important to him. Rumors about the Brinsass tied to the hooligan scene he had not taken seriously, and says he regrets, because he had absolutely no desire to [have] Nazis, either in the ring or in the audience.
Antifa Infoblatt, 5/1/13
The 23-year-old middleweight fighter of La Familia Fight Club teams (Halle / Saale) was [removed from] the largest MMA event Respect.FC earlier this year, after his connections in the Saxon neo- scene were detected Moreover Brinsas hooligan group Scenario Leipzig was belligerent together with various neo-Nazis, also members of the group in football riots. Pictures show him behind a banner reading Ultras locomotive National Resistance. For Respect.FC organizer Ben Helm that was enough: He made it clear that he was absolutely no desire [have] to Nazis, either in the ring or in the audience, The influential German-language martial arts portal Groundandpound welcomed the decision at the time, but also quoted Brinsa as saying Im not a Nazi. Given the facts, a preposterous claim.
Even though German MMA promoters have started to keep their distance from Brinsa, The Hooligan somehow managed to land a contract with the biggest MMA promotion in the world. Youd think that Zuffa would have learned its lesson about not doing basic background checks on its fighters. Brinsa is not the kind of the person that should be representing the UFC, and we hope the promotion re-considers the signing once they learn a little more about his past associations.
Update #1: UFC president Dana White tweeted earlier today that hes looking into it, in response to one of his followers sending him this story. White later deleted the tweet.

Fox Celebrates Holidays With Outrageous Race-Based Attack On Obama
Fox News' animosity toward President Obama, three years into his presidency, is by now well-known. This is the network that routinely [1] calls [2] Obama a socialist, accuses [3] him of being involved [4] in all sorts of conspiratorial plots, and claims that he hates [5] America. But, as witnessed Thursday [6] on Hannity, Fox's attacks have taken an increasingly racially charged tone [7]: Brent Bozell, who runs the factually [8] challenged [9] outfit [10] of conservative misinformation known as the Media Research Center, likened Obama to "a skinny, ghetto crackhead."
Bozell appeared on Hannity as part of the show's weekly "Media Mash" segment to talk about purported mainstream media failings. After listening to a clip of MSNBC host Chris Matthews saying that Newt Gingrich "looks like a car bomber," Bozell responded [6]:
BOZELL: How long do you think Sean Hannity's show would last if four times in one sentence, he made a comment about, say, the President of the United States, and said that he looked like a skinny, ghetto crackhead? Which, by the way, you might want to say that Barack Obama does. Everybody on the left would come forward and demand he be fired within five minutes for being so insulting towards a leader of the United States.
A few months ago, Fox's Eric Bolling came under fire for his racially charged criticisms [11] of Obama, including his claims [12] that Obama was [13] "chugging 40's in IRE while tornadoes ravage MO" (which he later tried [14] to amend), and that Obama was hosting [15] "hoodlum[s] in the hizzouse" when he welcomed Gabon President Ali Bongo Ondimba and rapper Common to the White House.
These attacks have become a pattern at Fox News.
Since April of this year when Obama announced he would be running for reelection, attacks have ranged [16] from false claims [17] about the president's place of birth and religion to claiming Obama has "black nationalist sympathies." Fox's Monica Crowley, for example, derided [18] Obama as a "committed wealth redistributionist" for the apparent benefit of African-Americans.
But this is nothing new. Fox News and its personalities have a long [19] history [20] of aggressive race-baiting and racially charged commentary [21]. Moreover, Fox News' news-aggregation website, Fox Nation, has a habit [22] of prominently featuring race-baiting headlines and content in an apparent effort to attract and encourage racist commenters. One memorable headline read [23]: "Obama's Hip-Hop BBQ Didn't Create Jobs."
Aside from sanctioning in-house race-baiting, Fox hasn't shied away from welcoming those who spread the same message. For example, after going on an extended, racially charged tirade [24] about crime and "too many urban thugs, yo" in Atlanta, radio host Neal Boortz found a welcoming home [25] on Fox News to discuss the economy.
During the Hannity segment, Bozell also blasted New York Times columnist Paul Krugman as a "little worm" for accurately describing [26], in a "melodramatic" fashion, Rep. Paul Ryan's proposal to end Medicare. Bozell accused Krugman of "hatemongering" and "fearmongering," then said to guest host Mark Steyn:
BOZELL: You think, Mark, about those endless lectures we've heard from the left over the years about hatemongering and fearmongering and civility, and they're always giving those lessons to Sean Hannity, to Rush Limbaugh, to Mark Levin, to Ann Coulter, but then Paul Krugman says this kind of thing and the silence is deafening. Paul Krugman is just a little worm.
