Magnesium, Calcium deficiency common * boron
Magnesium's Importance Far Greater Than Previously Imagined
Calcium deficiency is a common nutritional concern, but how many folks consider the vital importance of magnesium in human health and disease?
New research published in the journal BMC Bioinformatics indicates that magnesium's role in human health and disease is far more significant and complicated than previously imagined.
While it is well known that all living things require magnesium, and that it is found in over 300 enzymes in the human body, including those enzymes utilizing or synthesizing ATP (the molecular unit of currency for energy transfer), the new studied titled, "3,751 magnesium binding sites have been detected on human proteins," indicates that a deficiency of magnesium may profoundly affect a far wider range of biological structures than previously understood.[i]
The proteome, or entire set of proteins expressed by the human genome, contains well over 100,000 distinct protein structures, despite the fact that there are believed to be only 20,300 protein-coding genes in the human genome.
The discovery of the "magneseome," as its being called, adds additional complexity to the picture, indicating that the presence or absence of adequate levels of this basic mineral may epigenetically alter the expression and behavior of the proteins in our body, thereby altering the course of both health and disease.
Indeed, modern medicine and nutrition fixates primarily on calcium deficiency (due, in part, to the WHO's highly unscientific definition of osteoporosis), even in the face of accumulating peer-reviewed research indicating that excess calcium consumption can greatly increase cardiac morbidity and mortality.
Magnesium Research
Research relevant to magnesium has been accumulating for the past 40 years at a steady rate of approximately 2,000 new studies a year. Our database project has indexed well over 100 health benefits of magnesium thus far. For the sake of brevity, we will address seven key therapeutic applications for magnesium as follows:
Not only is magnesium deficiency common in those diagnosed with fibromyalgia, [ii] [iii] but relatively low doses of magnesium (50 mg), combined with malic acid in the form of magnesium malate, has been clinically demonstrated to improve pain and tenderness in those to which it was administered.[iv]
Atrial Fibrillation
: A number of studies now exist showing that magnesium supplementation reduce atrial fibrillation, either by itself, or in combination with conventional drug agents.[v]
Diabetes, Type 2
: Magnesium deficiency is common in type 2 diabetics, at an incidence of 13.5 to 47.7% according to a 2007 study.[vi] Research has also shown that type 2 diabetics with peripheral neuropathy and coronary artery disease have lower intracellular magnesium levels.[vii] Oral magnesium supplementation has been shown to reduce plasma fasting glucose and raising HDL cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes.[viii] It has also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic control in type 2 diabetic subjects.[ix]
Premenstrual Syndrome: Magnesium deficiency has been observed in women affected by premenstrual syndrome.[x] It is no surprise therefore that it has been found to alleviate premenstrual symptoms of fluid retention,[xi] as well as broadly reducing associated symptoms by approximately 34% in women, aged 18-45, given 250 mg tablets for a 3-month observational period.[xii] When combined with B6, magnesium supplementation has been found to improve anxiety-related premenstrual symptoms.[xiii]
Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality
: Low serum magnesium concentrations predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.[xiv] There are a wide range of ways that magnesium may confer its protective effects. It may act like a calcium channel blocker,[xv] it is hypotensive,[xvi] it is antispasmodic (which may protect against coronary artery spasm),[xvii] and anti-thrombotic.[xviii] Also, the heart muscle cells are exceedingly dense in mitochondria (as high as 100 times more per cell than skeletal muscle), the "powerhouses" of the cell," which require adequate magnesium to produce ATP via the citric acid cycle.
Migraine Disorders
: Blood magnesium levels have been found to be significantly lower in those who suffer from migraine attacks.[xix] [xx] A recent Journal of Neural Transmission article titled, "Why all migraine patients should be treated with magnesium," pointed out that routine blood tests do not accurately convey the true body magnesium stores since less than 2% is in the measurable, extracellular space, "67% is in the bone and 31% is located intracellularly."[xxi] The authors argued that since "routine blood tests are not indicative of magnesium status, empiric treatment with at least oral magnesium is warranted in all migraine sufferers." Indeed, oral magnesium supplementation has been found to reduce the number of headache days in children experiencing frequent migranous headaches, [xxii] and when combined with l-carnitine, is effective at reducing migraine frequency in adults, as well.[xxiii]
: While natural aging is a healthy process, accelerated aging has been noted to be a feature of magnesium deficiency,[xxiv] especially evident in the context of long space-flight missions where low magnesium levels are associated with cardiovascular aging over 10 times faster than occurs on earth.[xxv] Magnesium supplementation has been shown to reverse age-related neuroendocrine and sleep EEG changes in humans.[xxvi] One of the possible mechanisms behind magnesium deficiency associated aging is that magnesium is needed to stabilize DNA and promotes DNA replication. It is also involved in healing up of the ends of the chromosomes after they are divided in mitosis.[xxvii]
Best Sources of Magnesium In The Diet
The best source of magnesium is from food, and one way to identify magnesium-containing foods are those which are
, i.e. chlorophyll rich. Chlorophyll, which enable plants to capture solar energy and convert it into metabolic energy, has a magnesium atom at its center. Without magnesium, in fact, plants could not utilize the sun's light energy.
Magnesium, however, in its elemental form is colorless, and many foods that are not green contain it as well. The point is that when found complexed with food cofactors, it is absorbed and utilized more efficiently than in its elemental form, say, extracted from limestone in the form of magnesium oxide.
The following foods contain exceptionally high amounts of magnesium. The portions described are 100 grams, or a little over three ounces.
Rice bran, crude (781 mg)
Seaweed, agar, dried (770 mg)
Chives, freeze-dried (640 mg)
Spice, coriander leaf, dried (694 mg)
Seeds, pumpkin, dried (535 mg)
Cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened (499 mg)
Spices, basil, dried (422 mg)
Seeds, flaxseed (392 mg)
Spices, cumin seed (366 mg)
Nuts, brazilnuts, dried (376 mg)
Parsley, freeze-dried (372 mg)
Seeds, sesame meal (346 mg)
Nut, almond butter (303 mg)
Nuts, cashew nuts, roasted (273 mg)
Soy flour, defatted (290 mg)
Whey, sweet, dried (176 mg)
Bananas, dehydrated (108 mg)
Millet, puffed (106 mg)
Shallots, freeze-dried (104 mg)
Leeks, freeze-dried (156 mg)
Fish, salmon, raw (95 mg)
Onions, dehydrated flakes (92 mg)
Kale, scotch, raw (88 mg)
Fortunately, for those who need higher doses, or are not inclined to consume magnesium rich foods, there are supplemental forms commonly available on the market. Keep in mind, for those who wish to take advantage of the side benefit of magnesium therapy, namely, its stool softening and laxative properties, magnesium citrate or oxide will provide this additional feature.
For those looking to maximize absorption and bioavailability magnesium glycinate is ideal, as glycine is the smallest amino acid commonly found chelated to magnesium, and therefore highly absorbable.
magnesium deficiency can lead to a host of severe illnesses, including extreme weakness and fatigue.
Your Vitamins May Be Doing More Harm Than Good
19 Jul 2013
Well Show You How You Can Check
Next time you go to purchase those multivitamins do a little digging, you may be surprised to find out that your vitamin is not made by who you thought. Did you know that more than 95% of the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that you can buy at health food stores and close to 100% of those sold in other stores are now made by the same few pharmaceutical and chemical companies who supply them to most all the vitamin and mineral companies?
Many popular brands of vitamins are fortified with the synthetic counterpart of the nutrient claimed to be in the pill. There are many reasons for these synthetic ingredients but the main reason they are used is to increase the bottom line; it is much cheaper to source different chemical byproducts to simulate a chemical make-up than it is to extract minerals and vitamins from growing healthy food. After the money is saved by sourcing dangerous chemicals instead of real ingredients, Big Pharma and their chemical brothers can now spend billions making you think that these imitation vitamins are good for you; for every dollar pharmaceutical companies spend on basic research, $19 goes toward promotion and marketing.
Below is a list of 5 toxic ingredients contained in versions of the most popular vitamin on the market today, Centrum, made by Pfizer. Less than a year ago, Pfizer was being sued for making false claims about their Centrum multivitamins and there alleged ability to promote breast health and colon health. The reality is that these supposed vitamins are merely synthetic chemical counterparts that do not carry the same benefits as the naturally occurring minerals and, in fact, can cause a myriad of damaging health effects.
First toxic ingredient
Ferrous Fumarate C4H2FeO4
Ferrous fumarate is the anhydrous salt formed by combining ferrous iron with fumaric acid and used as a hematinic (a preparation used to improve the quality of blood). Unfortunately, inorganic iron is pro-oxidative, stimulating the damaging effects in the body of substances known as free radicals. There is evidence linking high inorganic iron intake to cardiovascular disease and cancer. Excessive iron accumulates in the liver, and may feed bacterial and viral infection. Iron is found, in a healthy body, in the form of metalloproteins, because in exposed or in free form it causes production of free radicals that are generally toxic to cells. In its free form iron binds avidly to virtually all biomolecules so it will adhere nonspecifically to cell membranes, nucleic acids, proteins etc., causing substantial damage. When, for instance, iron binds with LDL, it oxidizes it, resulting in obstruction.
Second toxic ingredient
Chromic Chloride CrCl3
Although trivalent chromium like Chromic Chloride is far less poisonous than the hexavalent form, it is definitely a toxic substance, known to exhibit genotoxic, mutagenic, teratrogenic (reproductive hazard) and is on the Hazardous Substance list. Its main use is in the metal industries for chromizing; in the manufacture of chromium metal and compounds; as a catalyst for polymerization of olefins and other organic reactions; as a textile mordant; in tanning; in corrosion inhibitors; as a waterproofing agent.
Third toxic ingredient
Magnesium Stearate Mg(C18H35O2)2
Used to make large scale production tableting of supplements and drugs possible, this chemical excipient is produced through reacting sodium stearate with magnesium sulfate, in a way similar to the production of other hydrogenated oils. Magnesium Stearate has shown to cause death from inhalation of the powder.
Fourth toxic ingredient
Manganese Sulfate MnSO4H2O
The Material Safety Data Sheet classifies this chemical as a hazardous substance. Toxicological data indicates it is tumerigenic, mutagenic and teratogenic (adversely effects reproduction).
Fifth toxic ingredient
Sodium Selenite Na2SeO3
An inorganic form of selenium with known toxicity. Studies have shown it may cause tumors, genetic mutations, interfere with reproduction, and cause birth defects. Although it is an essential antioxidant when found in food as biologically active selenium, inorganic selenium as selenite has a pro-oxidative effect.
What can you do to make sure your vitamins are not just chemical cocktails with ostensible health benefits?
Below is a list of precautions one can use to avoid purchasing synthetic vitamins.
Cheryl Myers, FoodMatters.tv:
Step 1
Look for the words 100 percent natural on the products label. Some product labels may contain the words natural, but manufacturers can claim natural on their nutritional products if at least 10 percent of the product comes from natural food sources. The Organic Consumers Organization recommends looking for products that contain 100 percent plant-based or 100 percent animal-based on the products label.
Step 2
Find the food source list on the products label. If the products label does not contain a list of natural food sources, then the product is synthetic. Look for food sources such as yeast, fish, vegetable and citrus.
Step 3
Identify whole foods in the ingredient list instead of the particular nutrient. Dr. Ben Kim, a chiropractor and acupuncturist with his own radio show, says to look for foods on the list of ingredients that contain a certain vitamin, such as acerola cherry powder, which contains vitamin C. If you can identify vitamin C in the ingredient list, Kim says you can almost guarantee that the vitamin is synthetic.
Step 4
Look for salt forms on the product label, a synthetic added to supplements for increasing the stability of the vitamin or mineral. Some of the salt forms to look for include acetate, bitartrate, chloride, gluconate, hydrochloride, nitrate and succinate.
Step 5
Learn how to read the products label by looking for keywords that indicate the supplement is synthetic. Words that end in ide or ate indicate that the product contains salt forms, which are synthetics.
For instance, if you see chloride, hydrochloride, acetate or nitrate on the list of ingredients, the manufacturer used synthetics for the product.
Additionally, the letters dl that appear before the name of an ingredient indicates the supplement is synthetic. As an example, look for fish oils when buying a vitamin A supplement. If the products label states palmitate, it is a synthetic vitamin A supplement.
Common Synthetic Vitamins to Avoid
Vitamin A: Acetate and Palmitate
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Thiamine Mononitrate, Thiamine Hydrochloride
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Riboflavin
Pantothenic Acid: Calcium D-Pantothenate
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Pyridoxine Hydrochloride
Vitamin B12: Cobalamin
PABA (Para-aminobenzoic Acid): Aminobenzoic Acid
Folic Acid: Pteroylglutamic Acid
Choline: Choline Chloride, Choline Bitartrate
Biotin: d-Biotin
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Ascorbic Acid
Vitamin D: Irradiated Ergosteral, Calciferol
Vitamin E: dl-alpha tocopherol, dl-alpha tocopherol acetate or succinate
Magnesium and menopause
Here's what a blog reader recently wrote about her experience with magnesium and menopause.
"On reading that most of the 34 odd symptoms of menopause are actually identical to the more obvious and unpleasant symptoms of cellular magnesium deficiency, I put myself on a magnesium supplementation regime. Within 3 days, I began to feel like I used to do, my daytime hot flushes had reduced from 20 or so a day to less than 10 and nocturnal hot sweats from 10 plus per night to 3 or fewer, my insomnia disappeared and my terrible anxiety, rapid heart beat and depression all started to fade away as did the skin-crawling sensations and aches and pains. Having suffered progressively with worsening symptoms since entering menopause for the last three years
I am now, 10 days later, basically symptom free, Magnesium is a miracle, and everyone -- particularly menopausal women -- should be made aware of this. Many thanks!"
Well, I do my best to make people aware of the miracles of magnesium. And I'm getting some help. I told you about The Arrhythmia Alliance Outstanding Medical Contribution to Cardiac Rhythm Management Services Award 2012 that I received in September from The Heart Rhythm Society in the UK.
Another great boost is from my friend, the genius magnesium expert, Morley Robbins who is reading everything about magnesium he can get his hands on. Here's the latest:
1. Magnesium may actually be involved in 1,300 biological enzyme systems in the body and not only the 325 that I've been quoting for years. That's 80% of all the enzyme systems in the body. Yes, magnesium does everything!
2. The highest concentration of magnesium is in the ventricle chambers of the heart. So why doesn't your cardiologist know that?
3. Fifty-four molecules of magnesium are required to metabolize one molecule of sucrose, which is why a high sugar diet causes magnesium deficiency.
4. Drugs like Cipro cause magnesium deficiency because it is a fluoride compound. There are hundreds of drugs that contain fluoride that are adding to the epidemic of magnesium deficiency in the world. See my article, Magnesium Heals Cipro Damage on Natural News.
5. In my book, The Magnesium Miracle I talked about Dr. Mildred Seelig's original research with the pharmaceutical industry. She found that most drugs, when taken, cause magnesium to flood the blood stream. Presumably to help detoxify the drug. However, the surge of magnesium can greatly benefit the individual who assumes that the drug is causing the benefit. Then after "the honeymoon is over" and all the magnesium stores are depleted, you really begin to notice the drug side effect. The drug companies have not bothered to convey this information to the public.
Take action for your health and take magnesium. I don't care what form you take, but just take it.
Dr. Carolyn Dean,
Miracle magnesium
Magnesium-calcium powder was recommended to me a few months ago,
and I have noticed a marked improvement in my health since taking it!
When I saw this article I decided to tell all of you about it. Try it!
80% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. Some core symptoms of deficiency are
- Muscle cramping
- Diabetes
- Stress and sleep disorders
- Heart disease
- Bowel disease
- Osteoporosis
Magnesium deficiency can lead to inflammations, affecting blood vessels, cardiovascular, and intestinal tissues.
Magnesium deficiency increases blood pressure.
Magnesium helps keep blood sugar in balance, promoting the production of insulin.
Relieves stress and improves sleep quality.
What Boron May Do for You
Boron is a trace mineral which is important for strong bones. However, it is often ignored in health maintenance and combating disease. It metabolizes magnesium, phosphorous and calcium. This specific element plays a huge role in preventing osteoporosis and utilizing additional important minerals and vitamin D. Your body structure is reliant on strong bones, and boron helps to avoid the aging effect on the bones.
Boron may be understood as a general health enhancer, and we may not yet know the full spectrum of its influence.
Here are some known conditions that have been improved by boron supplementation.
Menopausal symptoms
Sex hormones
Candida Albicans
Lupus Erythematosus
While boron is an effective treatment for 95% or more in the relief of arthritis (provided the joint has not completely deteriorated) its range of action extends beyond that. It works very well in alleviating arthritis, partly due to its crucial role of calcium integration into the cartilage and bone. This is important for all of us as we age, even if we do not have arthritis. Aging is partly associated with weakening of the bones as they become increasingly porous -- adequate boron can prevent this aging effect.
For instance, an elderly lady began to take boron daily a few months before her operation for an artificial hip that had been scheduled before she started to take the boron. The surgeon found that he could not use the usual saw for cutting the bone in the hip replacement surgery; the bone was just too hard, like that of a young person, so he had to use a stronger saw to do the job.
It seems that those who are under 60 years of age with arthritis will see results the first month of boron supplementation while those in their 60's will notice relief in the second month. For those over 70 years of age, it may take 3 months of supplementation to get the desired results.
Boron will usually help animals with arthritis. Farm animals that graze may develop a boron deficiency simply because the land is boron deficient. Dogs and horses commonly experience arthritis and may well be helped with supplementation.
Menopausal Symptoms and Sex Hormones
Boron is essential for estrogen production and can have a rapid effect in helping menopausal women.
It may quickly reduce hot flashes. Boron may bring the sex drive back, even if it's been absent for years.
Minerals and trace-elements get to the 'bottom of things' so to speak; they are often the missing link and can be extremely effective. "Boron raises the level of natural sex hormones in the body and so would eliminate the need for HRT or hormone replacement therapy," states Dr. Rex E. Newnham. Zinc is also important for sex hormones for both sexes.
Allergies and Parasites
Because boron will overcome the symptoms of 95% of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, Dr. Newnham speculates that allergies that are involved especially with rheumatoid arthritis are probably being reduced by boron.
Prof. Roger Wyburn-Mason identified certain amoebae that parasitized the joints of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers. Dr. Newnham states that boron can control these parasites. He discusses the role of infection and parasites further in his book, Beating Arthritis & Beating Osteoporosis. Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers often experience the Herxheimer reaction for a week or so after starting boron. This causes a temporary worsening of the arthritis and is due to die-off from the parasites that enter into the blood prior to elimination by the white blood cells.
Boron and Systemic Candida
Boron can help overcome Candida Albicans, according to Dr. Newnham, but other measures are also needed such as a good probiotic, an immune rebuilder such as Tiaga Extract, Moringa powder or Sweet Wheat; and anti-fungals such as Tiaga Extract, Herbal Tonic, Cleansing Tea and Living Clay. (Organa Mineral Drink is a builder and detoxifier and naturally contains boron.) With Candida, a restrictive diet is also important.
Other Issues
In his book Dr. Newnham gives an account of a retired lady with congestive heart failure and arthritis. After only 2 months on the boron, both her arthritis and her congestive heart failure were considerably improved.
Dr. Newnham heard of a case of hay fever that was greatly improved with boron. This is understandable if we consider that the improvement in calcium metabolism alone, for which much of boron's action is centered on, will tend to calm the system, tending to reduce allergies and the auto-immune reactions involved in many health conditions -- not just arthritis. Boron will help to incorporate all the other minerals into the bones reports Dr. Newnham, "so it is not unreasonable to assume that boron may also help with the correct cellular uptake of minerals and trace elements into the cells.
Boron and Fluoride
Fluoride in the form added to tap water and toothpaste is hazardous to our health. It is industrial waste that someone is making money on by selling to those who add it to our water systems. Fluoride in sea water and trace mineral supplements is in a form and combination with all the other minerals and trace elements that renders it non-toxic.
According to Dr. Newnham, boron will inactivate fluoride in the body, forming a harmless compound.
Therapeutic Usage
For arthritis and other deficiency symptoms that may be linked to other health conditions, Dr. Newnham recommends 10 mgs. Some populations have as much as 30 mg a day in their diet with only good effects; in most western countries the soils are grossly deficient.
Arthritis Relief is a boron supplement.
Magnesium Deficiency
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Magnesium deficiency is often misdiagnosed because it does not show up in blood tests only 1% of the bodys magnesium is stored in the blood.
Most doctors and laboratories dont even include magnesium status in routine blood tests.
most doctors dont know
when their patients are deficient in magnesium,
even though studies show that the majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium.
Magnesium is by far the most important mineral in the body. After oxygen, water, and basic food, magnesium may be the most important element needed by our bodies; vitally important, yet hardly known. It is more important than calcium, potassium or sodium and regulates all three of them. Millions suffer daily from magnesium deficiency without even knowing it
early warning symptoms suggestive of magnesium insufficiency
Physical and mental fatigue
Persistent under-eye twitch
Tension in the upper back, shoulders and neck
Pre-menstrual fluid retention and/or breast tenderness
Possible manifestations of magnesium deficiency include:
Low energy
Seizures (and tantrums)
Poor digestion
PMS and hormonal imbalances
Inability to sleep
Muscle tension, spasm and cramps
Calcification of organs
Weakening of the bones
Abnormal heart rhythm

Home Secretary Theresa May is expected to succeed Prime Minister David Cameron after her only rival, Vote Leave campaigner Andrea Leadsom, pulled out of the race on Monday.
Launching her campaign earlier Monday, May, 59, said the country would remain fully committed to a Brexit under her leadership despite her previous opposition to leaving the EU.
"There will be no attempts to remain inside the EU ... no attempts to rejoin by the back door," May told supporters and journalists.
She said a Conservative Party under her leadership would "put ourselves at the service of working people... [and] make sure our economy truly works for everyone.
Leadsom, 53, read out a letter informing the Conservatives' election committee of her decision to withdraw her candidacy.
She cited the far greater support May enjoys among Conservative lawmakers and saying it was in everyone's interests to avoid a nine-week leadership campaign that would prolong the political and economic uncertainty that followed the June 23 Brexit referendum.
Leadsom said she believed May is "ideally placed to implement Brexit on the best possible terms."
"Business needs certainty," she said. "We now need a new prime minister in place as soon as possible."
Graham Brady, chairman of the election committee, told reporters the party will still "need to respect the process," but said a new leader would certainly be announced in less than nine weeks after Leadsom's withdrawal.
The committee now needs to "get the clear views of the Conservative Party board," Brady said. "There is no need to rerun the election."
Cameron failed to convince voters in last month's referendum on EU membership to vote against a so-called Brexit, prompting his resignation.
May supported Cameron's Remain campaign, but she insisted in her speech that "Brexit means Brexit and we're going to make a success of it."

My boyfriend and I are both in our early 20s and are planning a three week trip to Europe this coming April. We are just beginning to plan our itinerary. I've been reading blogs and tips, but am really not sure where to begin (there's so much information out there!) We would prefer to avoid overly-crowded tourist areas while still getting a feel for history and seeing beautiful sights. Both of us enjoy "adventure" type destinations - we have been to central and South America many times to canoe, zip line, hike, try exotic foods, etc... I know this will be a very different trip, but would love to still fit in some active locations. We've yet to determine our budget, starting location, ending location or any specifics so are VERY open to suggestions.
That being said, what are some absolutely must-see destinations? Good places for food, unique landscapes, history, adventures, nightlife? Any advice is very appreciated.

Sometimes people will get disconnected from the network if they do not log off at the end of the day. When they come in in the morning and try to access the network it says that they have been disconnected for due to a possible attack attempt on the server. But if I log them off and then log them back in it works fine.
Any thoughts

what anti virus are you using? Some have network protection and that could cause the disconnection issues.

Check your servers for network protection. Sometimes the AV can see legitimate client requests as a possible attack.
Feb 16, 2011 at 11:41 UTC

Are you running Server 2008 and have NAP enabled? NAP will protect your network as well...
Feb 16, 2011 at 1:16 UTC
The system error said that it could not connect to the network because it detected a possible attack on the network or needs security permission to acces the network drive. But if I restart it works fine for awhile.

You may also want to check the clients network settings. On the adapters themselves there is a check box that the almighty microsoft sets by default to allow the machine to shut down the network adapter to save power. This would cause the condition you are having as well. Just something to look at. (You can add a setting in your global policy to uncheck this on all workstations so you dont have to do it one by one.)
Just a thought!

Purchased as a gift for my husband - nice lightweight casual sweater. He already has one and likes it. Easy care - washed on delicate and hung to dry. Came out perfect. Ecoths is a great company - they donate meals for every garment purchased

Sporty and stylish, this shirt suits my tall skinny teenage son to a T. The fabric is soft jersey T-shirt material, and the flatlock seams at the shoulder add an element style that makes it stand out vs your typical polo shirt.

Reviewer: Chris from Carmel, IN
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I love this shirt. It is well tailored, and it did not shrink up in the washer or dryer. The cut is great, no bacon collar and it is very well constructed for a great cause. Get more than one - they are not available in many places, so you will wish that you had bought a second or third after you have worn it about for a while.
Reviewer: from Northern Virgina
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Great shirt. If you are looking for something comfortable and stylish for a great price then get 2. I have gotten a few compliments on this shirt which is a nice bonus. The fit is nice too.

OPEC members call for output cuts
Iran, Kuwait and Libya called on fellow OPEC members on December 18th to reduce production at the group's next formal gathering in order to correct the current supply imbalance.
Iran's OPEC Governor Hossein Kazempour Ardebili said that: "OPEC will need to make a minimum cut of 1 million b/d at the January meeting regardless of whether the basket price is below $22 a barrel."
He added that: "The fundamentals - stock build up and supply/demand imbalance - warrant this cut." Kazempour also indicated that if the group's price band mechanism is triggered before the next meeting, OPEC will automatically slash output by 500,000 b/d, with additional cuts to be decided on January 17th.
Under the cartel's price mechanism, if the price of OPEC's basket of seven crudes dips below $22 a barrel for 10 consecutive working days, a production cut of 500,000 b/d will automatically be triggered.
Kuwaiti Oil Minister Sheikh Saud Nasser al-Sabah also said on December 18th that OPEC would move to curb production levels if prices continue to slide.
He said that: "Consultations are ongoing and statements made are clear: If prices continue to decline, cuts will be unavoidable."
Libyan President Moammar Qaddhafi sent a letter to other OPEC heads of state on December 18th asking for cooperation in curtailing production in order to avoid a price collapse.
He wrote that: "The situation at this stage requires a serious look into cutting production to restore the market balance." He added "Oil specialists and analysts are warning against an upcoming crisis of prices which will lead OPEC producers to a crisis similar to the one that they went through in 1998."
Qaddhafi did not suggest a specific figure for the production cut, but blamed recent high prices on market speculation and heavy fuel taxes, saying that there is no shortage of oil in the market. - (oilnavigator)

IP for the Small Business
by Preston Frischknecht
In addition to working with larger businesses, I've had the absolute privilege to counsel with garage inventors, start-ups, and small businesses. Let's be honest, they are my favorite. Their enthusiasm, courage, and innovation are contagious and provide a breath of fresh air to a stiff suit like myself. As I've counseled with smaller companies, I find often myself focusing on a few key intellectual property (IP) principles that I'd like to share.
First, start-ups should know how intellectual property fits within their overall business objectives.
Pursuing a patent or a trademark can be expensive, and overall business objectives need to first be carefully thought out. For example, pursuit makes more sense for a core part of the small business than for a "satellite" product, which brings in less revenue. Also, it is very important to do due diligence and determine the likelihood that a patent or trademark can be obtained. Then, if a patent or trademark can be obtained, it is important to understand whether it will offer broad protection (helpful) or very narrow protection (not so helpful). Importantly, small businesses should ask themselves whether money would be better spent on other aspects of the business such as marketing or advertising---a good attorney should help you with that analysis. On the other hand, pursuit of intellectual property makes a lot of sense if a small business is entering a highly competitive market as a challenger brand, where a bigger competitor is likely to copy. Often, low-cost options for protection are available, such as non-disclosure agreements and provisional patent applications.
Second, the use of company and product names requires due diligence.
Many businesses think that if they register their company with the state or obtain a web domain name, they are good to go. More needs to be done. Before any name is used, a trademark clearance search should be conducted to determine whether that name, or one that would be confusingly similar with it (see an attorney) is owned by another. Many times, businesses will sink precious resources into branding and marketing a name, only to find out later through a nasty "cease and desist" letter, that it is, in fact, trademark infringement when viewed against the name of another. Then comes the expensive name change, rebranding, and remarketing. Small businesses should strongly consider involving an attorney in their naming, and timely filing federal trademark applications for the marks that they clear. Interestingly, it is not unusual for a company to apply for the trademark of another, particularly where the latter has not sought federal registration. Where this happens, it can be expensive to try to fight or undo the application of another when you consider that a timely registration would have been preventative.
Third, understand the "first to file" rule.
In the last year, there has been a BIG change in patent law. Basically, where our system used to give rights to the first person who invented something, it now gives rights to the first person who files for the patent application at the patent office. Smaller companies now need to seriously consider filing protective, low-cost provisional patent applications to avoid being boxed out of the market. They should also closely monitor bigger competitors. If a bigger competitor files for a smaller businesses' product, there are ways to fight it, but if it isn't caught early, it becomes more and more expensive.
Preston P. Frischknecht is an intellectual property attorney with Peck Hadfield Baxter & Moore. He helps clients successfully navigate competitive business issues. As a registered patent attorney, he helps clients by obtaining, maintaining, and enforcing intellectual property—including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. He also analyzes and evaluates the rights of others—including competitors—and defends clients against claims of violations.

So I met him through one of my court members its her baby brother.
We talked a little bit and things were fun, some flirty, some sexual, but always fun talking for hours at a time.
We finally got hang out last weekend, I fell hard for him. He says I am everything he wants in a girl, im two years older than him, he is 17, and i just turned 19, but he perfers me to be older, he loves tall black girls (I'm 5"10) as opposed to anything else. But above all, he likes his girls thick and curvy, he even has screen shots on his phone of me from before he even met me, and was suprised we would actually meet.
I told him i gained about 20 pounds since the picture he adores and he actually like me bigger! He makes me feel less insecure about my appearance, he actually loves to squeeze and rub my tummy and he lets me be myself around him, flaws and all.
But here is my issue, he has a gf, they have only been together for about 3 months, because he goes to a all boys private school and can only bring dates to dances and such from their sister school, no outsiders.
He has told me if he could take me he would, because the girl is beautiful, but no one he is sexually attracted to, complete opposite of me.
I trust what he says but i still get upset we cannot be forth comming with our relationship due to the circumstances, because I'ma pageant queen I have to stay single, the age gap (I live in California) , his sister being my friend, and the gf, should I just wait it out till gradation in May or give him an a choice to make?
I have fallen for a guy who likes me for me, so why aren't we together?
So I met him through one of my court members its her baby brother.
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
You his side chick...
You being played gurl00|00|0
I thought being a side chick means you have sex with them, we haven't done anything sexual and I have told him if he tried anything while being with her, we cannot be friends, he understood and even blows her off to hang out with me.
But I totally get what you're saying, and thank you
the guy is 17.
He is excited enough that he is able to "already" have another girl on the side...

Im a pretty pale person and i hate tanning beds and laying in the sun so i really love using self tanners. The ONLY problem i ever have is the tan settling into the pores on my legs! UGH
It only settles into the pores on my shins, thats the only place on my body besides my face where there are visible pores.
First i used St Tropez bronzing mousse, and i can't quit remember if it did it... i never noticed i guess. But its so expensive for not much!
And then i just recently bought Xen-Tan dark lotion because although its expensive, you get a lot more. And it settles in my pores like crazy!!
I always shave the day before or the morning before and exfoliate like craaazy with an exfoliating glove and use a good water based moisturizer. Any ideas?

ArmyTek AF39 Colour Filters for Viking / Predator Flashlights
ArmyTek AF39 Filter to fit Viking / Predator Flashlights.
Red light can be used for watching wildlife or spotting for animals, since many animals cannot see well in the red spectrum. Red light also preserves our natural night vision and is effective at providing better visibility in fog and smoke.
Green light is useful for hunting at night in woodland areas or where there is a lot of foliage. The green light provides good night visibility without spooking animals.
Blue light is useful for hunting at night. The blue light makes it easier to see blood, so wounded animals can be tracked at night.

Consumer spending in apparel and sports activities in Mexico is a US$4.18 billion market that employs more than 200,000 people.
Sports sector in Mexico Consumer spending in apparel and sports activities in Mexico is a US$4.18 billion market that employs more than 200,000 people and has grown annually on average 3.5% from 2003 to 2010. This sector accounts for 0.9% of the total retail value of the country and distinguishes itself by a strong sporting apparel segment, that is worth more than $350 million USD and whose 3.21% annual growth is stronger than any other in Latin America. Market overview Major sports in Mexico, based on participation of the population, are football, basketball, volleyball, tennis and martial arts; but motor sports, snooker, and golf are also played. Mexico represents the largest market in Latin America and one of the five best performing markets in the world for the NBA, reported Luis Morales, director of the NBA in Mexico. Professional football in Mexico is a US$350 million industry in terms of federation and team revenues, $US165 million earnings from television and commercial rights. This thriving business is in the top ten richest football federations of the world. In the case of infrastructure there are opportunities for investment, since of the 60 stadiums for professional football, only 8 hold more than 40,000 people, and those 8 are more than 40 years old. This requires a tangible need for infrastructure improvement, highlighted by Mexican plans to hold international sports events in the near future. Besides sporting apparel and football, the strongest market segments are golf, racquet sports and exercise equipment. The golf/tennis market grows annually on average 7% and is limited mainly to the affluent, but it offers interesting niche markets for high-end foreign-made equipment. The popularity of both sports is driven partly by extensive television coverage. The popularity and status of tennis has created spin-off demands for racquetball and squash. They not only cost less, but are played indoors, away from air pollution. 95% of the equipment of these sports is imported according to national data, with a consumer on average spending more than US$500 on specialized equipment, while in general the imports of sports and recreational products are worth US$170 million. The market for exercise equipment is more broadly based. Private gymnasiums, which traditionally focused on weight lifting for men, are now broadening their coverage to aerobic fitness for young professionals and their families. While another niche area of high revenue is off-road motorsports, concentrated in the desert areas of the Baja California peninsula. This sport is of high value because participants will spend at least $7,000 USD in order to modify their VW or Baja Bugs for use in off road terrain. Currently there is a big demand for parts and services as most parts have to be imported as they can be hard to get in Mexico. Key opportunities Improvements in the sector are based on supply of equipment and recreational products, and infrastructure: • There are around 220 golf courses and it is expected that at least 10 more will be built during 2011. 60% of them are part of real estate developments and 40% of them are part of tourist developments according to the FMG (Mexican Golf Federation). • Football stadium infrastructure. • Sporting apparel is the largest market segment of sports in Mexico and represents various opportunities for british companies. • High end foreign made equipment for golf, tennis and racquetball. • Off road motorsport is significant to Mexico, participants will spend at least $7,000 USD in order to modify their VW or Baja Bugs for use in off road terrain. Currently there is a big demend for parts and services as most parts have to be imported as they can be hard to get in Mexico. • For equipment, the sectors with the biggest growth would be: multifunction equipment, digital cameras, handhelds, and telecomm equipment (voice and data). Latest export opportunities in Leisure & Tourism Latest export opportunities -Mexico Getting into the market We encourage British companies to approach well in advance the local authorities that are in charge of projects, since very frequently the time between the launch of a tender and the required proposal submission date is extremely short. In addition, if you are already in contact with the local authorities you may be able to gain an insight as to what they are looking for before the tender is advertised. It is important to build relationships in the market, so that key local players and decision makers will be aware of your expertise and keep you in mind when forming bidding consortia. In many instances, UK companies choose to partner with local counterparts, benefiting from their business know-how.

The next episode of the VGCW: Female Division will reveal some of the card for the season finale show that comes after. That means there are only 2 episodes left of Season 2!
The finale show (not titled "End Game" by the way), is aiming to be 3 hours long and feature many great matches, as well as a conclusion to all the collusion that has been happening. Afterwards there will be a break as I go through and actually code the doc/standings into HTML. Yes, for real this time.
But, since I don't have a set date for the show like Bazza does now, I'm taking a quick poll to see what the best day of the week would be for you! Answer honestly so I can plan for it! Deadline for the poll is Tuesday evening, not too long after VGCW. - BRYN4444 (talk)

The Year 2007
The year 2007 was ushered in at midnight in the Swiss Alps Village of Cranes,(Krons). We traveled to Italy to spend Christmas and the holidays with Mary, Silvano, and granddaughters Laura and Anna. December 27 we traveled to the Swiss Alpine village of Cranes. Cranes is a French speaking ski village. The top photo is a shot from the bedroom balcony of our chalet. A brief afternoon snowstorm came through the mountain pass which actually blocked the sunlight. The middle photo is a telephoto shot of the Alps after the snow storm. An interesting fact is there was not enough snow the first few days to allow Laura to ski. The bottom photo shows our son-in-law Silvano serving the dessert with our champagne for the strike of midnight. Happy New Year!
Assessing the year 2007 and recounting in retrospect the many blessings for which we are grateful, it takes a brief moment for us to admit that it was a great year. As the Santa Ana winds blow and howl tonight I cannot escape the horror of October 22 and the Witch Fire. Again we were fortunate to escape it's ravages. We pray that the year 2008 will continue to keep our family and friends healthy and safe and that God will protect them.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the world's premier Internet standards setting organization. It operates as a large, open international community of network designers, operators, vendor experts, researchers, and other interested technologists. While much of the IETF's work takes through correspondence, actually attending an event promotes a stronger understanding of the standards process, encourages active involvement in IETF work, and facilitates personal networking with others that have similar technical interests.
Attendance by technologists from emerging and developing economies is currently limited.
However, there are many talented individuals in those regions who are interested and follow IETF work, and would benefit from the opportunities that attending an IETF meeting presents.
As such, the IETF Fellowship programme is part of the Next Generation Leaders programme.
Its main purposes are to:
- Raise global awareness about the IETF and its work.
- Foster greater understanding of, and participation in, the work of the IETF by technologists from emerging and developing economies.
- Provide an opportunity for networking with individuals from around the world with similar technical interests.
- Identify and foster potential future leaders from emerging and developing economies, and
- Demonstrate the Internet community's commitment to fostering greater global participation in Internet Forums such as the IETF.
Early Success
To most Internet engineers, the IETF is a revered organization and involvement is regarded as a career high. We felt that our participation at the IETF meeting in Montreal was both a personal achievement and a motivational experience. It gave life to a process that we had experienced only on mailing lists. Having had the opportunity to be at the meeting, we were able to appreciate the passion and the energy that are put into the IETF for the good of the Internet."

Research and development is the foundation of innovation in the technology industry, and both Google and the National Science Foundation (NSF) are committed to making substantial investments in computer science research and education to ensure that our students, faculty and scientists remain on the leading edge of computing and have the tools necessary to make significant advances. As the technology industry moves into an exciting new phase of massively scaled, highly distributed computing, academic users have expressed a need for resources to engage and explore this emerging model, which is already responsible for many "internet-scale" applications that we now take for granted.
[…]In October of 2007, Google and IBM announced the first pilot phase of the ACCI, which granted several prominent U.S. universities access to a cluster of thousands of processors running Apache's Hadoop, an open source distributed computing platform inspired by Google's file system and MapReduce programming model. (There's a YouTube video showing how students and faculty at the University of Washington have made use of the cluster.)[…]
Starting this year, the NSF will work to evaluate project proposals from academic researchers across many disciplines and select some of the most interesting and promising projects to receive ACCI computational grants. More details, including information on how to apply for access to these resources via the NSF's Cluster Exploratory (CluE) program, will be posted soon on the NSF site.

Derek Thompson threw a 46-yard scoring pass to Jimmerson in the third quarter.
Jimmerson had eight carries for 62 yards, and Thompson was 7 of 13 for 104 yards.

My Lovely Wife,
It has been a while since the last time I wrote to you. Many things have changed here. I guess you have heard what happened to the German troops. They retreated from France , which was the main battlefield , back to Germany.(http://www.greatwar.co.uk/timeline/ww1-events-1918.htm)It was a great news for the soldiers who were fighting against them. Unfortunately, we have lost an enormous number of soldiers in the couple last battles and there are even more soldiers injured. The only thing they are hoping for is the end of the war.
Things weren't much better in the air either. the RFCs have significantly helped our air forces but Germans were one step in advance. they invented a new kind of plane that is made of both metal and wood. It must have an accurate engineering. The metal would support the wings and prevent them from breaking off while the plane is flying with a high speed.However, I believe the metal would make the airplane heavier so it will be harder to control.(http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/ww1-german-military-aircraft.asp). I don't have a clue how pilots control this new invention.
Many things have dramatically changed over here. Four years have passed from the start of the war in July 16th, 1914.(http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/clips/znj7pv4) I can see that we are all sick of it. The United States joined the war in April. I can remember how happy I was when I was told that U.S. had become one of the Allies. I'm sure German forces can't do any better. They have lost many soldiers in the last battle.
There are some rumors that Red Baron is dead. Soldiers say he died in April.(http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/red-baron-killed) How he controlled the airplane was unbelievable. The way he flew in the air was like an eagle that was looking for its hunt. Although I praise him as a perfect pilot but I'm somehow happy about the sad rumors. If the rumors are true, Germans will definitely loose in the war. They can't do anything without their mighty Red Baron.
Moreover, many soldiers think the war is close to its end.(http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/timeline_of_world_war_one.htm)The Allies completely defeated the Central Powers. the Central Powers are fighting for nothing. It's just a hollow space they are fighting for.
I hope the war would end soon too. I miss you my love . I thought I would die in the Bloody April. There was no chance of surviving for me but thank god, I finally survived. I was only thinking about you during that battle and I believe that was what kept me alive. I miss you a lot . I can't wait until I see your lovely face.
p.s. I will write to you whenever I get a chance. As you are aware of it, I'm in the battlefield and there isn't much time to sit down and write with patience . Take care and excuse my messy writing . I had neither enough time nor paper.
Lots of love,

This is the second chapter to "The Chrys Games". To read Chapter 1 click here.
Chapter 2: The CapitolI left the room and went with Garrett to the train tracks. After giving my mom a hug I boarded the train. Then I saw a glass chandelier, china teacups and a silver candelabra. I was looking around to see the black eyes of Drake looking at me.
"Are we friends?" He asked. He was so scared and was quick in alliances.But so was I.
"Sure!" I smiled. I was happy he was also scared.
"Hello." I heard a male deep voice. Me and Drake turned to see an elderly man in Chinese robes staring at us. His eyes were white, he was blind.
"Hi." Me and Draked said at the same time. We both giggled. "I'm Chrystinia, but please call me Chrys." I pointed at Drake. "This is Drake Sojo." I put my hand down in embarrassment, due to this man being blind.
I heard chatter from behind and saw Garrett who was coming on the train."This is Terry Stamp. He is your mentor and last District 10 survivor." From where, the 1st Hunger games? I wanted to ask.
"Don't worry." Terry started "I can still fight. You two should get relaxed."
I looked out the window to see we where moving. Fast. I had never seen something so fast. I went into what I was told was my room. It was very impressive, at home I just have a mattress on the ground. But this, this was beautiful. That's when I saw a shower. I ran into the bathroom. I was in there for about in hour. The thirty minutes just to let the boiling water wash over me.
After my shower I put on some new Capitol-funded clothing. I was happy to eat these Delicious food. I had a stomachache when we finally arrived to the capitol.
Drake and I were taken to a room- that looked like a hospital- and were stripped and told to put on one of those hospital nightgowns. I layed down on their table while they scrubbed away. I was stress-free now. With some foam, they washed my skin. They brushed my hair out and gave me a Mani-petty. At the end of the process, I was glowing. I thanked the prep team, while they brought me and Drake out of the remake room.
"Hello! My name is Ongina! I will be your-" She looked a Drake "Stylist." She was bald and had on what looked like a floating hat. She had on a belly shirt and a ripped shirt.
"I am your stylist, Chrys." I turned to see a sexy guy with brown hair up to shoulder. He had on leather jeans that were tight and to top it off he had on a tux top. "I'm, Paoul."
After a brief talking we where ready and set for the Tribute Parade. I had my hair in curls. The dark brown of my hair slicked and the blondish-brown in curls. I had a diamond necklace on also. I had a strapless purple dress, up to my ankles. My diamond bracelet matched my necklace. It was hard to walk in pink heels. I almost fell, if it wasn't for Drake- who had on a grey tuxedo with no shirt, showing off his six pack. His hair was slicked back. We got on the chariot and my heart pounded.
I looked at Drake as we went into the street and heard cheers form the audience.
"Here goes nothing!" I heard Drake whisper.

Happy Hanukkah – Some Trivia to Start Off the Holiday
This year, Hanukkah (sometimes written Chanukah) starts at sundown on Sunday, December 6th. It will continue until the evening of Monday, December 14th. In Hebrew, the word "hanukkah" means "dedication," and this holiday celebrates the rededication of the holy Temple in Jerusalem following the victory of a small band of Jewish rebels (called the Maccabees) over the Syrian-Greeks in 165 BCE.
The story is that there was only enough oil to last one night, and the lamps were able to be lit for 8 nights.
The Fun
The dreidel is played with and you can win gilt which are chocolate coins. In ye really olden times, the Syrians forbade people from learning the Torah. So the students kept the dreidels around, and pretended to gamble when the Syrians popped by. Outside of Israel, a dreidel has the Hebrew letters "nun," "gimel," "hay," and "shin" on its four sides. These letters stand for "Nes gadol haya sham," which means, "A great miracle happened there," referring to Israel. An Israeli dreidel has the letter "pay" rather than "shin." This stands for "poh," meaning "here"a great miracle happened here."
The Hebrew letters also represent Yiddish words that tell how to play the dreidel game. Each player starts with the same amount of candies, chocolate coins (gelt), or other tokens, and puts one in a pot. Players take turns spinning the dreidel, waiting to see which letter lands face up. Nun is for "nisht," do nothing. Gimel is for "gants," take the whole pot. Hay is for "halb," take half. Shin is for "shtel," add to the pot. The game ends when a single player wins all the tokens.
Thanks to: Hanukkah — Infoplease.com http://www.infoplease.com/spot/hanukkah.html#ixzz2ENeUj7cn for this information.
The Food
Because this is the festival of the oil, traditional foods are fried. You might think the most common one would be the latkes or potato pancakes, but it's actually the sufganiyot which is a fried donut filled with jelly.
Eating dairy food, especially cheese, is another tradition. Its story is in honor of Judith who, according to legend, saved her village from Syrian attackers. She fed the general Holofernes so much wine and cheese until he passed out. Judith took the general's sword and chopped off his head which she brought back to her village in a basket. The next morning, the Syrian soldiers were so frightened by seeing the headless body of their leader that they headed for the hills.
Eight Things You Didn't Know About Hanukkah
- This is actually a minor holiday, but because of its proximity to Christmas, it has become a large, family-centered celebration. (some claim it happened in the late 1800s.)
- One additional candle is lit on the Menorah (also called the 'hanukkiyah') until all nine candles are lit. The tradition is to start on the left, and move the candles one spot to the right so the newest candle is in the far left position.
- The original Menorah had room for 7 wicks, and after the miracle of having oil to light the lamp for eight days, they added in two more branches to the lamp.
- The ninth candle is an "attendant candle" and used to light all the others.
- The dates (to us) always seem to be different. But if you had a Hebrew calendar, you'd note that Hanukkah always starts on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. This corresponds to beginning four days before the new moon which is the darkest night of the Kislev month symbolizing bringing light in the darkest time of the year.
- The candles are supposed to burn for at least a half an hour after the stars come out.
- The menorah should be placed in a window to share the miracle and celebration with passers-by.
- Gift giving wasn't a part of the original holiday (luckily for the kids, this got changed)
What's your favorite part of Hanukkah?
