Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
Release Date: March 27, 2012
The Mahattan Diet: Lose Weight While Living A Fabulous Life was written by journalist and magazine editor Eileen Daspin. The book, inspired by a NY Times article about Manhattan women being the thinnest of all the boroughs, promises recipes, interviews and advice from celebrity fitness trainers and top nutritionists. Eileen, who admits, "I've been dieting since I was about twelve years old," set out to find how other Manhattan women stay so thin while living in a city packed with four-star restaurants, cupcake machines and vending carts. She decided to start with her own social circle. Married to celebrity chef Cesare Casella, Eileen began to "talk to every thin, fit, stylish, woman around me."
Having moved to Manhattan 30 years ago, Eileen talks candidly about the unhealthy habits she arrived with, making salad dressing out of Miracle Whip and ketchup, and how her new environment began to change the way she ate, exercised and lost weight. She credits the daily microscope of scrutiny by other Manhattan dwellers as simply setting the bar for thin-living.PRO
- Emphasis on eating smaller portions
- Lessons about empty calorie foods versus nutritious alternatives
- Focus Cooking your own food
- Guidance for dining out
- Fitness guidance provided
- Includes healthy recipes written by celebrity chefs
- Author does not have a degree or background in fitness or nutrition
- Large focus on "diet obsessed" habits
- Tips are often buried in lengthy stories
- Advice to hire personal trainers, dietitians and personal chefs may alienate those who cannot afford these services
In chapter 6, The Manhattan Diet lists a 28-day "Diet Weight Loss Plan" that runs 1500 to 1600 calories per day. Included in the diet are options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also healthy low calorie snacks and even ideas for how to handle cocktail hour.
The book also includes the "Thirteen Rules of the Manhattan Diet," which seems to have fairly sage advice including:
- Eat only when you're hungry
- Don't let yourself go hungry
- Eat your veggies
- Avoid fast food
The recipes listed in the back of the book are plentiful and focus on lean proteins, vegetables and whole grains. Recipes have been provided by such esteemed names as Tom Colicchio, Eric Ripert, and Mario Batali. In the nearly 50 recipes you'll find sides, entrees, breakfast, desserts, pasta, sandwiches and salad. Some tempting inclusions are:
- Zucchini Frittata
- Oatmeal and Egg White Pancakes
- Christine Baranski's Butternut Squash Soup
- Turkey Chili
- Rosemary-Roasted Trout
- Mussels in Sake
- Tuscan Tuna Salad
- Marcus Samuelsson's Tomato-Watermelon Salad with Almond Vinaigrette
- Mario Batali's Misticanza
- Erika's Olive Tapenade
- Lemony Hummus
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding
Because the author lives in New York and walks several miles each day for necessity, she is a firm believer in walking to stay fit. Daspin advocates doing whatever activity will get you moving - Zumba, pole dancing, tennis, kick-boxing, or belly dancing, and even spinning, accompanied by a long account of her class. She also stresses the importance of working exercise in to your everyday routine. She reminds us to take the stairs and not the elevator, bike to work, and when you do walk, walk like you mean it.CONCLUSION
The Manhattan Diet: Lose Weight While Living a Fabulous Life offers a point of view from an author who, "lives and diets in Manhattan," and while the recipes and overall advice may be rooted in fact and good health, there is an undertone of "mean girl" attitude and calorie restriction obsession.
The author claims even though her book is a look at the New York mindset of eating, her advice will translate to people who live outside the five boroughs. While that may be true, the majority of the book reads like a thin who's-who of celebrity dieters and less like a realistic and helpful guide for "the rest of us."Common Misspellings

Well, if you get the one chambered in .357, then you can kill two birds with one stone. That is, you can run the .38 Special as well. JMHO.
I have been reading up on the .357 Sig. I think some versions of semi-auto's shooting the .357 Sig will get ballistics in the ranges you guys are talking about here. I wonder if it isn't a better idea to shoot .357 Sig in a barrel/chamber designed for it than shooting +p and +p+ in 9 mm barrels. But any cartridges with energies in this range work best in guns of some size. That is what I am doing.
LCR in .357 with the Hogue grips using Hornady Critical Defense is more than manageable. It's what I carry without ANY concerns.
Ruger LCR rapid fire.MOV: Ruger LCR rapid fire.MOV - KendinCos
I have the Ruger 357 and I am more than pleased. I pocket carry it without any problems. I of course practice mostly with 38 spec and a little +P and 357 magnum at he end of the range session. Now just because a person doesn't like to shoot magnum rounds in the LCR doesn't make him a sissy. I myself don't have a problem with it but everyone's different and that's a good thing. This is the first revolver I have owned in over 25 years and I have really missed them.
I carry a Ruger SR40C, but the Ruger LCR in either 38 or 357 is really the ultimate in utter reliability for concealed carry. It literally disappears when you drop it in your pocket. We bought my girl friend one. It's also an excellent range/woods gun. Just plain fun to shoot !

Glad to read this thread. My wife likes revolvers better than semiautos. Most da trigger pulls are hard but it seems the lcr is very smooth. I'm gonna have to go test one. If I got her one I would still get the 357 for better strength and durability and the extra 4 oz should help a bit on recoil for her
If you want one revolver, it would be a .357. One reason to pick this model is you have an option to use .357 or .38. As someone mentioned, a .357 will be worth more than a .38 in same condition. But, I'm sure you are like me and have no desire to sell.
What I buy I plan on keeping.
My wife bought the LCR .357 with the Crimson Trace Lasergrips on it from Shooters Plus for her CCW. She really likes it. She practices with .38 but carries with .357.
Do you want to be shot with any of them? I carry a full sized 1911 in .45 and honestly don't feel like it's heavy at all. I don't even notice the weight. I love the LCR because it will fit in my pocket not being noticed. Wonderful.
I have the .357 love it not what you would expect from a snubbie IMHO buy the 357 that way you can have a choice of ammo, its not a big difference in price and if you like 38+p then you can shoot it but you will still have the option of moving up to a more powerful round jmho

NYTimes plays dumb about Little Green Footballs
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
LGF is a right-wing blog that traffics in lots of nonsense. And Saturday was no exception. It created an online buzz within right-wing circle when, through some supposedly nifty defective work, it raised the possibility that the Obama campaign might be behind a new website spreading misinformation about McCain's new VP pick, Sarah Palin.
Lots of LGF's right-wing blog friends jumped in, linking to the site and condemning the Obama campaign for pushing dirty tricks, while LGF excitedly updated the story all day. And that's why, as part of its round-up of blog reaction to the Palin pick, the Times' political blog, The Caucus, made mention of LGF's mini-investigation: "Some conservative blogs are undergoing an investigation of their own into who exactly is behind a Web site that mischaracterizes Ms. Palin's views about gay rights."
And that was how the Times blog post ended. What the Times left unsaid was that by mid-afternoon LGF's dubious charge had already been debunked, which LGF itself sheepishly admitted in an update: "There is apparently no connection between these attack sites and the official Obama campaign."
Question: Why didn't the Times put the LFG goose chase in context and note that all the hot air turned out to be yet another righter-wing blogger charade? After all, that was the news.

Get smarter against gun smugglers - Roanoke.com
Editorial: Get smarter against gun smugglers
A government watchdog's warning should be taken to heart.
The Government Accountability Office says poor coordination among federal agencies makes gun-running across the U.S.-Mexican border even easier than can be expected, given the ease with which guns can be bought legally in the United States.
The flow of guns to criminal drug cartels on the other side of the porous border presents an urgent threat. The U.S. government needs to treat it as such.
The extreme violence of these illegal drug syndicates is wreaking havoc in the national life of an ally and neighbor. That should be reason enough for America to do all legally within its power to identify and break up gun-smuggling rings.
If further motivation is needed, policymakers should ponder the fact that -- like the illegal drug trade that accounts for both the reason and means behind the gun buys -- the violence will be impossible to contain.
A draft of the GAO report, leaked last week to news organizations, cites intelligence reports that the cartels have armed themselves not only against the Mexican government, but to gain and maintain control of illegal drug distribution in the U.S.
Legal gun sales in this country facilitate this illicit trade.
According to federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives data collected over the past three years, more than 90 percent of firearms traced after being seized in Mexico are from the United States.
It's hardly a mystery where many of them come from. The ATF agent in charge of its Houston division noted in a New York Times story in April there are about 1,500 licensed gun dealers in that area alone.
They are required to report suspicious sales of handguns, but not of rifles, like AK-47s. Many, perhaps most, dealers do so anyway, but with so many outlets to buy from, the cartels easily arrange straw sales that appear innocent.
Then there are the private sales at gun shows, which in some border states, as in Virginia, require no criminal background check.
With all the legal barriers law enforcement agencies face, they need to deploy every resource efficiently to slow the illegal trade.
The GAO report specifically blames poor communication between ATF and Immigration and Customs Enforcement for undermining gun-running investigations.
Spokesmen for the two agencies say they are updating an agreement on joint investigations. Immediately would not be too soon.

I can empathise with N. of 49's feelings about not wanting to put money out on the mCPX. I really have no interest in it myself due to it's postage stamp size.
That having been said, I'm afraid I'm going to have to do just that. I don't think I have a powerful enough computer to run any sort of sim (I'm not a PC gamer) And I'm not about to upgrade my computer just for that purpose.
As much as I feel I'm quite proficient with the 120SR, I'm afraid I would be in for an ego-busting (if not downright bank-busting) experience if I tried to transition directly to the 130x.
So I guess if I have any real designs on getting into the world of CP, I'm going to have to swallow one more pill and get myself an mCPX.
I can't argue with the crash survivability of the mcpx and it was a good little heli, i just didn't have any interest in flying it after a while. All i fly now are my fbl 400 and my trex 600. And no, i don't crash them, but i don't do stupid stuff with them either. I practice at altitude and then move lower. My 400 is setup with the zyx fbl unit with a 5084mg tail servo and its rock solid. Powerfull even with the stock motor and tail does not blowout ever. This allows me to learn things the right way without compensating for bad tendencies in the heli.
Either way you decide on the mcpx i would still say to get good you will need a sim. Just depends on how people want to fly. Getting away from the computer and getting outside is always a good thing but there is just no substitute for a sim.
One thing about the mcpx is it still holds its value well. I bought it at discount at ampdraw hobbies and i only lost $20 when i sold it here on the classifieds. Probably some of the cheapest fun i've had in this hobby.
After reading the past page or so (as I have been following this thread for a little while now), I can't think of why I have seen hardly anyone mention the fact that even thought the 130X is bigger and therefore heavier, it is because of its mass that it will be more inherently stable than the much smaller mCPX. I too never really liked the tiny size of the mCP X, though I can say that I have seen and have flown a mCP X thanks to a pilot friend of mine. Smaller = squirellier handling due to any wind currents. It's really a give and take... smaller is more durable, but it's much more of a "handful" in the air.
Since I have owned a 450 class heli now for just about a year and have felt the difference in the air the difference between it and a 600 class (again thanks to my buddy), my point is proven. I do realize the difference between a 450 class heli and a 600 class is much more significant, but it only makes sense that a heli with a bigger rotor-span will behave in a much more stable manner than one that has a smaller disk.
To put the first 2 paragraphs in a nutshell, the more stable heavier heli is a better platform to learn from, though it will admittedly cost more to replace any parts lost due to a crash. I really do now wish that I had gone right to a 500 or even a 550 (like I will be getting next month), rather than the 450 I started out with.
Because the 130X uses the electronics for stability and control response it most likely can be tuned to more or less replicate the response of the 120SR. I would guess that this might be the initial setup. Once you get used to it, you can then adjust the setup to make it more sporting.
The 3-axis stability system removes the requirement for the flybar. The servos may be beefed up to handle the extra load required to adjust the blade angle directly.
A great FP trainer for a CP is the walkera V120d01. It is not "self stabilizing" like helis with a 45 degree flybar. I was able to go from this heli to a flybar gaui 200.
I would agree that going from a 120SR to a small CP would be tough, but it depends on the stabilization system of the CP. Very hard to go from there to a flybar gaui 200, but not so hard to go from there to say a walkera v120D02s. And I bet the 130 has at least a just as good better stabilization system than the v120d02s...
If you get a sim then anything is possible...
You can't just increase pitch without adding headspeed, it is going to bog the motor down and cause the heli to fly like crap (believe me, I tried to push my 250 down to about 2k RPM, unstable as hell and are all over the place, same for my 4G6S).
The 3 axis does not self stabilize. Inherent nature of 45 degrees flybar (120sr) is that when you release the aileron and elevator, it self stabilize (locks back into hover), but in 90 degrees flybar or 3 axis stabilization system, they don't. They'll continue the heading of the last command.
My suggestion is that try out some sim (even free ones), and you'll see how flying CP is different from flying 45 degrees FP. For FBL FP or 90 degrees FP, they're quite similar to 130x. That's my 2c.
FYI, I had flew 45 degrees FP (NE solo), 90 degrees FP (4#6), 90 degrees CP (4G6S, Trex250), and FBL CP (v120d02s)...
Hope this helps...

Some have also successfully set up the MCPx and other helis as fixed pitch helis by using a flat pitch curve on their transmitter.
My point is that a symmetrical blade does not automatically REQUIRE a higher headspeed to get similar lift to a FP blade. You can run a FP blade and a CP blade at the same RPM and get similar lift, but the blades' angle of attack could be different. You may be correct in saying that for a given blade angle a symmetrical blade may require a higher headspeed for a given amount of lift compared to a FP blade. But that is not a rule. When a symmetrical blade is generating lift, it is actually acting as an asymmetric (or FP) blade. The advantage to a symmetrical blade is that it will generate the same amount of thrust relative to the blade disk for a given positive or negative blade angle, just the direction of the lift is different.
There are a number of other reasons why you might run the head faster (more stability, faster response, etc.). You also might run the head slower if you wanted to reduce the damage because of a blade strike or to reduce the size of the servos required.
Different helicopters will have a different sweet spot regarding head speed, stability, control response, and energy consumption. Having the highest headspeed possible is not automatically the best answer in all cases. You could end up making the helicopter too stable (say for 3D), having high speed airflow problems near the blade tips, or requiring servo forces that exceed the available servo size.
I think the point has been made that no matter how you slice it the 130X will handle significantly different than a 45 degree flybar.
Yes there was a time in the dark ages when a 450 sized heli was considered small and people started out on big 60 size nitro powered helicopters. You can still do that, but the learning curve is steep and the price of failure is severe. A man was killed at my local flying field when a heli got away from him and struck his instructor, so this is not a game.
Think about it - Why do our fan has the FP like curve? Fan maker could just slap a 45 degrees angled blade and spool it up if curved and flat structure displaces as much air.
And no, adding headspeed will not cause the heli to be "too stable". The reason you think that way is you're too used to self stabilizing heli (45 d flybar). Stability in CP is defined in how much control you have over the heli (ie how responsive).

An Investment Opinion
by Dale Wettlaufer
Berkshire Reports on Saturday
As a longtime fan of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A), a shareholder, and one of the guys at the controls of The Motley Fool's Boring Portfolio where Berkshire comprises 30% of the assets, I will be very interested in the release of the company's annual report this Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. eastern time. In advance of the release, I thought I would review some things to be looking for in the report.
First, Berkshire Hathaway is a company in transition following some major deal-making activity in 1998. The largest deal was the merger of Berkshire with reinsurer General Re Corp. (NYSE: GRN), which expanded the company's trailing twelve month revenues (not including realized investment gains) through the third quarter of 1998 to $18.48 billion from $10.73 billion on a stand-alone basis. The GenRe merger also expands the balance sheet from $50.1 billion in assets to $95.1 billion in assets and from shareholders' equity of $26.9 billion to $34.4 billion (all net of goodwill as of the end of Q3 1998). Berkshire is also now the largest publicly traded insurer in the world, measured by equity capital, and the third-largest global reinsurer as of August 1998, according to Business Insurance.
I express the company's market position in terms of capital rather than gross written premiums because the reinsurance units at Berkshire Hathaway don't go for market share or premium growth for the sake of those things. They will take on business that provides an economic return. The reason this may be a point of discussion is that topline growth at Berkshire's insurance units outside of GEICO and some of the specialty lines isn't really the feature one should be looking at. It's the quality of underwriting that is the key feature of Berkshire that makes the company different.
Within an industry that is facing intense price competition, it's not market share points that you want. For instance, the competition between Compaq (NYSE: CPQ) and Dell Computer (Nasdaq: DELL) is often expressed in terms of market share, but the real cash flow economics of the companies are independent of market share. At Berkshire's GEICO auto insurance unit, the company only has between 3-4% of the U.S. auto insurance market, but accounts for much more than that in underwriting profits and certainly in return on assets arising from float. Being a market share pipsqueak isn't prima facie evidence that the company is an economic pipsqueak.
Expect substantial discussion of the GEICO unit -- this year it grew voluntary policies in force by nearly 21%. Last year, The New York Times warned that Berkshire Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett had said in last year's 10-K that the company's profitability is subject to severe price competition. That certainly is true, but you can quote a lot of stuff from the Bible to prove a lot of points just as you can overemphasize one thing that Warren Buffett says to attempt to prove a hypothesis on Berkshire Hathaway. GEICO is going for increased market share and is lowering its prices, but it's still ridiculously profitable. The problem with GEICO is that it's too profitable. Berkshire wants to deliver more value to the customer, gain market share, and use the insurance float for investment.
Tomorrow I'll discuss the implications of insurance "float" and some of the other interesting issues you should watch for in Saturday's report.

Some Residents May Qualify for a Lower Home Insurance Rate
Some residents of Marion County may get a lower home insurance rate, thanks to the Marion County Fire Department.
The insurance services office recently judged all aspects of the fire department and developed a rating of 4/8.
Chief Paul Nevels says it took a 10 year plan to get to this point.
He said they have upgraded their staffing, added new fire hydrants and made sure their employee documentations were in order.
Nevels said the fact that they were rated as one single department instead of individual fire stations, definitely helped their rating.
"If we can also do our best to document everything and get a good rating on our ISO, our insurance services office survey, well if that gives a return to the citizens that's just icing on the cake," said Nevels.
residents who qualify for a lower insurance rate must live five road miles from a Marion County fire station.
Chief Nevels said homeowners could save anywhere from $80 to $400, depending on the insurance company.
Contact your insurance agency to find out if you qualify for a lower rate.

A photograph, owned by Bill and Earlene Holbrook, is of the Burton and Lucinda Moore Cathey House that was located in Cathey Cove until it was dismantled a few years ago. The original portion of the home was built by Dred Blaylock in 1849.
A late 1800s painting by Nettie Vance Penland is of the Colonel Joseph and Nancy Hyatt Cathey House, dated to the mid-1800s. The back of the painting indicates that the Cathey House was one of the first framed houses in Haywood County. Owners are Berry and Rosanna Rigdon.
A painting, dated to the late 1800s, by Nettie Vance Penland of the Cathey Mill is owned by Berry and Roseanna Rigdon. The mill began operation in the 1840s. Colonel Cathey was a state legislator, farmer, post master, and mercantile operator in the mid-1800s.
La Nae and Jack McCracken own the original 1912 application for patent drawings for the computing scale, precursor of today's modern market scales and gasoline tank measuring devices, by Calvin Filmore Christopher. The inventor lived in Bethel and is NC's most prolific inventor. Christopher's scale invention is the forerunner of scales used all over the world.
A 1965 painting by F. Seymore of Inman Chapel was captured from a photograph given to the artist by the Reverend Hannah J. Powell, pastor at the Universalist church from 1921 – 1941, during her tenure in Haywood County. Owner is Rosemary Trull.
The painting of Osborne Boundary Oak, Osborne Farm, and the original log cabin beside the tree is loaned to the HP Committee by Jackie Stephens, Curator of the Museum of North Carolina Handicrafts in Shelton House. The piece, painted by G.C. Monroe, depicts the tree that was used as a boundary marker in 1792. BRCO and citizens in the community have worked to save the historic tree.
The J. B. Rigdon General Store and mill house, originally built by the Plott family in the early 1900s was a fixture in the heart of Bethel Community until the 1970s when it was dismantled. That painting was commissioned by Ozark folk artist, Granny Chicken, by Winifred R. McNeil and is currently owned by Richard and Evelyn Coltman.
Nick De Paolo artfully painted the exterior of the historic Bethel Presbyterian Church as it looked in its original white-clapboard appearance prior to 1964 when the church underwent a remodeling that included an added brick façade. De Paolo has been a freelance artist for more than 40 years, was an illustrator with the U.S. Navy, college professor, and currently owner of Long Grove Art School.
Award winning artist, Janice Swanger captured the essence of Lenoir's Creek Devon, Haywood County's longest continuing farm (1807) with the county's longest continuing herd of cattle (mid-1800s when Red Devon cattle were brought to the farm by second owner, Thomas Isaac Lenoir). Her painting brilliantly captures all of the historic structures remaining on the farm as well as the large variety of animals.
Gary Woolard was chosen in his native Beaufort County to paint the 12 oldest churches in the 12 oldest counties in the state. His rendering of the sanctuary of the 1885 Bethel Presbyterian Church with its striking chestnut bead board is a delicate balance between geometric precision and poetic artistry.

Sunland Park well repairs delayed until next week
SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (AP) — Dona Ana County officials say Sunland Park residents will have to wait a couple more days for [auth] their water to be restored.
Crews determined late Friday that the shaft of the community's well was damaged following a power outage. The part needed to fix the well and bring it back online is scheduled to arrive Monday.
Until then, residents who depend on the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority are being asked to conserve and be prepared for outages through the weekend.
Drinking water is being made available at the fire station next to the water utility office.
The Camino Real Regional Utility Authority provides water service for Sunland Park and most of the unincorporated areas around the Santa Teresa County Club and the Santa Teresa Port of Entry.

Well TJ it takes 2 to tango, but you got NO business messing around with married women. one of these days you're gonna f*ck the wrong one and her husband will end up blowing ur brains out. Just like Melinda had no business screwing around on Clint. If you knew she was married and i know u did, you should have never pursued it. But she is just as much to blame as you for doing it. Is it that ur such a loser that you have to try to take what isnLt urs cuase of the thrill of the chase? grow up little boy. one day you will be done the same way. karma is a bitch and it always comes back to bite you. so put ur big boy underwear on and step to clint like a man instead of running ur mouth behind a computer on topix and facebook.......cause we all know u wont 'young gunz'
#12 Sep 12, 2011
Yeah i will and i have offered to step to him but who cares i broke it off with her so she can have Clint yeah them bein married she said was a mistake i took that girls virginaty and have knew her for almost 9 years.. Yeah i am sorry i even stepped to her cause she was my homegirl either way and what we did probably fucked up our friendship... Its ok now though like i said i do me....
#13 Sep 14, 2011
I'm sure this TJ guy was in the wrong for messing with a married woman, but wouldn't she be just as much to blame. She is the one that took her vows.
#14 Sep 20, 2011
TJ Norton lived with us. Not for long anyway. Btw, from what I hear, he doesn't live anywhere for long!! We ended up throwing ALL his stuff outside! Best decision we ever made. Anyway, he lies, steal, and will quickly start some drama. You try to help someone, and that's what you get from them. Shame on you TJ! Everyone is right. You get back what you put out in this world. I have to admit you play the pitty card VERY well. You make people care about you, and then you take what you can from them. I really hope everyone sees this and make sure they run the other way. You all have been officially WARNED about Tony "TJ" Norton jr!!!!
#15 Sep 21, 2011
Wow TJ looks like your famous everywhere lol. But anyway if everyone wasn't up in everyone elses business like they are they wouldn't be so much DRAMA. Get a life ppl I don't see the excitement like y'all do. An leave melindas name out ya mouth words from her. Brittney you better watch it won't take you long to get found out.

look how he was raised parents no better
#19 Feb 13, 2013
no one on here or anywhere has any right to judge anyone we all have made mistakes what matters is if they learn from them. and i no for a fact that tj has i have never met any guy i have respectedas much as him. he can actually admit his mistakes and has changed for the better. not only was my life but my families lives were blessed just to have met him. and it does not matter how or who rasied you when ur an adult u make ur on decisions so stop tryin to put the blame elsewhere. his mom might have made mistakes what mom hasnt. kids dont come with instructions some are better at it than others but what matters is she gave him life and he is here. and if u no so much than iu would keep ur mouth shut about his dad may he rest in peace.

What is the evidence for water fluoridation?
Quoted from the NSW Government Health website: http://www0.health.nsw.gov.au/factsheets/general/water_fluoridation.html
An overwhelming weight of scientific evidence supports community water fluoridation as a safe and effective measure in the prevention of dental decay. It has been endorsed by numerous organisations, including the World Health Organisation and the National Health and Medical Research Council.
Water fluoridation has been described by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the top ten public health achievements of the 20th Century.
If there is so much overwhelming evidence, why only the one paragraph and no links to substantiate their claims??
I want to drink water without fluoride, why do I not have a choice? I want my family to drink fluoride free water too, we should have a choice, the Qld Health Organisation says we are not forcibly medicated… what a joke, what else do you call it? Wait for it……
Myth: Water fluoridation is mass medication
Fact Queensland Health does not consider the addition of fluoride to drinking water to be "mass medication", but simply adjusting the level of a substance already found naturally in the water to provide a substantial public health benefit.
They have a nice way of putting things, do not be fooled!

About Masaccio
Masaccio (December 21, 1401 – autumn 1428), born Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, was the first great painter of the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance. According to Vasari, Masaccio was the best painter of his generation because of his skill at recreating lifelike figures and movements as well as a convincing sense of three-dimensionality.
The name Masaccio is a humorous version of Maso (short for Tommaso), meaning "big", "fat", "clumsy" or "messy" Tom. The name may have been created to distinguish him from his principal collaborator, also called Maso, who came to be known as Masolino ("little/delicate Tom").
Despite his brief career, he had a profound influence on other artists. He was one of the first to use Linear perspective in his painting, employing techniques such as vanishing point in art for the first time. He also moved away from the International Gothic style and elaborate ornamentation of artists like Gentile da Fabriano to a more naturalistic mode that employed perspective and chiaroscuro for greater realism. Early life
Masaccio was born to Giovanni di Simone Cassai and Jacopa di Martinozzo in Castel San Giovanni di Altura, now San Giovanni Valdarno (today part of the province of Arezzo, Tuscany). His father was a notary and his mother the daughter of an innkeeper of Barberino di Mugello, a town a few miles south of Florence. His family name, Cassai, comes from the trade of his paternal grandfather Simone and granduncle Lorenzo, who were carpenters - cabinet makers ("casse", hence "cassai"). His father died in 1406, when Tommaso was only five; in that year a brother was born, called Giovanni (1406–1486) after the dead father. He also was to become a painter, with the nickname of lo Scheggia meaning "the splinter." In 1412 Monna Jacopa married an elderly apothecary, Tedesco di maestro Feo, who already had several daughters, one of whom grew up to marry the only other documented painter from Castel San Giovanni, Mariotto di Cristofano (1393–1457).
There is no evidence for Masaccio's artistic education. Renaissance painters traditionally began an apprenticeship with an established master at about the age of 12; Masaccio would likely have had to move to Florence to receive his training, but he was not documented in the city until he joined the painters guild (the Arte de' Medici e Speziali) as an independent master on January 7, 1422, signing as "Masus S. Johannis Simonis pictor populi S. Nicholae de Florentia."
First Works
The first works attributed to Masaccio are the San Giovenale Triptych (1422) and the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne (Sant'Anna Metterza)(c. 1424) at the Uffizi.
The San Giovenale altarpiece was only discovered in 1961 in the church of San Giovenale at Cascia di Reggello, which is very close to Masaccio's hometown. It represents the Virgin and Child with angels in the central panel, Sts. Bartholomew and Blaise on the left panel, and Sts. Juvenal (i.e. San Giovenale) and Anthony Abbot in the right panel. The painting has lost much of its original framing, and its surface is badly abraded. Nevertheless, Masaccio's concern to suggest three-dimensionality through volumetric figures and foreshortened forms (a revival of Giotto's approach, rather than a continuation of contemporary trends) is already apparent.
The second work was perhaps Masaccio's first collaboration with the older and already-renowned artist, Masolino da Panicale (1383/4-c. 1436). The circumstances of the 2 artists' collaboration are unclear; since Masolino was considerably older, it seems likely that he brought Masaccio under his wing, but the division of hands in the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne is so marked - Masolino is believed to have painted the figure of St. Anne and the angels that hold the cloth of honor behind her, while Masaccio painted the more important Virgin and Child on their throne - that it is hard to see the older artist as the controlling figure in this commission. Masolino's figures are delicate, graceful and somewhat flat, while Masaccio's are solid and hefty. [edit] Maturity
In Florence, Masaccio could study the works of Giotto and become friends with Brunelleschi and Donatello. According to Vasari, at their prompting in 1423 Masaccio travelled to Rome with Masolino: from that point he was freed of all Gothic and Byzantine influence, as may be seen in his altarpiece for the Carmelite Church in Pisa. The traces of influences from ancient Roman and Greek art that are present in some of Masaccio's works presumably originated from this trip: they should also have been present in a lost Sagra, (today known through some drawings, including one by Michelangelo), a fresco commissioned for the consecration ceremony of the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence (April 19, 1422). It was destroyed when the church's cloister was rebuilt at the end of the 16th century.
In 1424 the "duo preciso e noto" ("well and known duo") of Masaccio and Masolino was commissioned by the powerful and rich Felice Brancacci to execute a cycle of frescoes for the Brancacci Chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence. Painting began around 1425 with the two artists probably working simultaneously. For reasons that are unclear they left the chapel unfinished, and it was completed by Filippino Lippi in the 1480s. The iconography of the fresco decoration is somewhat unusual; while the majority of the frescoes represent the life of St. Peter, 2 scenes, on either side of the threshold of the chapel space, depict the temptation and expulsion of Adam and Eve. As a whole the frescoes represent human sin and its redemption through the actions of Peter, the first pope. The style of Masaccio's scenes shows the influence of Giotto especially. Figures are large, heavy, and solid; emotions are expressed through faces and gestures; and there is a strong impression of naturalism throughout the paintings. Unlike Giotto, however, Masaccio uses linear and atmospheric perspective, directional light, and chiaroscuro, which is the representation of form through light and color without outlines. As a result his frescoes are even more convincingly lifelike than those of his trecento predecessor.
The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, depicts a distressed Adam and Eve, chased from the garden by a threatening angel. Adam covers his face to express his shame, while Eve's shame requires her to cover her body. The fresco had a huge influence on Michelangelo. Another major work is The Tribute Money in which Jesus and the Apostles are depicted as neo-classical archetypes. Scholars have often noted that the shadows of the figures all fall away from the chapel window, as if the figures are lit by it; this is an added stroke of verisimilitude and further tribute to Masaccio's innovative genius. In the Resurrection of the Son of Theophilus he painted a pavement in perspective, framed by large buildings to obtain a three-dimensional space in which the figures are placed proportionate to their surroundings. In this he was a pioneer in applying the newly discovered rules of perspective.
On September 1425 Masolino left the work and went to Hungary. It is not known if this was because of money quarrels with Felice or even if there was an artistic divergence with Masaccio. It has also been supposed that Masolino planned this trip from the very beginning, and needed a close collaborator who could continue the work after his departure. But Masaccio left the frescoes unfinished in 1426 in order to respond to other commissions, probably coming from the same patron. However, it has also been suggested that the declining finances of Felice Brancacci were insufficient to pay for any more work, so the painter therefore sought work elsewhere. Resurrection of the Son of Theophilus
Masaccio returned in 1427 to work again in the Carmine, beginning the Resurrection of the Son of Theophilus, but apparently left it, too, unfinished, though it has also been suggested that the painting was severely damaged later in the century because it contained portraits of the Brancacci family, at that time excoriated as enemies of the Medici. This painting was either restored or completed more than fifty years later by Filippino Lippi. Some of the scenes completed by Masaccio and Masolino were lost in a fire in 1771; we know about them only through Vasari's biography. The surviving parts were extensively blackened by smoke, and the recent removal of marble slabs covering two areas of the paintings has revealed the original appearance of the work.
On February 19, 1426 Masaccio was commissioned by Giuliano di Colino degli Scarsi da San Giusto, for the sum of 80 florins, to paint a major altarpiece, the Pisa Altarpiece, for his chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Pisa. The work was dismantled and dispersed in the 18th century, and only eleven of about twenty original panels have been rediscovered in various collections around the world. The central panel of the altarpiece (The Madonna and Child) is now in the National Gallery, London. Although it is very damaged, the work features a sculptural and human Madonna as well as a convincing perspectival depiction of her throne. Masaccio probably worked on it entirely in Pisa, shuttling back and forth to Florence, where he was still working on the Brancacci Chapel. In these years Donatello was also working in Pisa at a monument for Cardinal Rinaldo Brancacci, to be sent to Naples. It has been suggested that Masaccio's first ventures in plasticity and perspective were based on Donatello's sculpture, before he could study Brunelleschi's more scientific approach to perspective.
Around 1427 Masaccio won a prestigious commission to produce a Holy Trinity for the Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. No contemporary documents record the patron of the fresco, but recently references to ownership of a tomb at the foot of the fresco have been found in the records of the Berti family of the Santa Maria Novella Quarter of Florence; this working-class family expressed a long-standing devotion to the Trinity, and may well have commissioned Masaccio's painting.[9] Probably it is the male patron who is represented to the left of the Virgin in the painting, while his wife is right of St. John the Evangelist. The fresco, considered by many to be Masaccio's masterwork, is the earliest surviving painting to use systematic linear perspective, possibly devised by Masaccio with the assistance of Brunelleschi himself.
Other Paintings
Masaccio produced two other works, a Nativity and an Annunciation, now lost, before leaving for Rome, where his companion Masolino was frescoing a chapel with scenes from the life of St. Catherine in the Basilica di San Clemente. It has never been confirmed that Masaccio collaborated on that work, even though it is possible that he contributed to Masolino's polyptych for the altar of Santa Maria Maggiore with his panel portraying St. Jerome and St. John the Baptist, now in the National Gallery of London. Masaccio died at the end of 1428. According to a legend, he was poisoned by a jealous rival painter.
Only four frescoes undoubtedly from Masaccio's hand still exist today, although many other works have been at least partially attributed to him. Others are believed to have been destroyed.
Masaccio profoundly influenced the art of painting in the Renaissance. According to Vasari, all Florentine painters studied his frescoes extensively in order to "learn the precepts and rules for painting well". He transformed the direction of Italian painting, moving it away from the idealizations of Gothic art, and, for the first time, presenting it as part of a more profound, natural, and humanist world.

Synopsis :
The remote service allows insecure renegotiation of TLS / SSL
Description :
The remote service encrypts traffic using TLS / SSL but allows a client
to insecurely renegotiate the connection after the initial handshake.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue
to inject an arbitrary amount of plaintext into the beginning of the
application protocol stream, which could facilitate man-in-the-middle
attacks if the service assumes that the sessions before and after
renegotiation are from the same 'client' and merges them at the
application layer.
