Prevalence of Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating Behaviors Among Male Collegiate Athletes
Date: 2008
Creator: Petrie, Trent A.; Greenleaf, Christy; Reel, Justine J. & Carter, Jennifer
Description: This article discusses the prevalence of eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors among male collegiate athletes. Male athletes have been hypothesized to be at increased risk for disordered eating attitudes and behaviors due to unique pressures in the sport environment. In this study, 203 male collegiate athletes from three universities completed the Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnosis (QEDD; Mintz, O'Halloran, Mulholland, & Schneider, 1997) as well as provided information on binge eating and pathogenic weight control behaviors. None were classified with a clinical eating disorder, though almost 20% reported a sufficient number and level of symptoms to be considered symptomatic. Just over 80% had no significant eating disorder concerns and were classified as asymptomatic. Neither year in school, race/ethnicity, sport type, nor age were related to whether or not the athletes were symptomatic or asymptomatic. In terms of the athletes' body mass, fewer than 2% were underweight and 66% were classified as overweight or obese according to CDC guidelines; over 60% were satisfied with their current body weight. Although the frequency of pathogenic behaviors was low, exercise (37%) and fasting/dieting (14.2%) were the primary and secondary means for controlling weight; fewer than 10% used vomiting, laxatives, or diuretics.

This stuff is awesome. I'm Italian and have the curse of the dark circles. The smallest dot covers both my eyes. The only downside is that if you put too much on it WILL start creasing, which is why I only gave it a four. It blends fairly easy and looks really natural.
So I just tried this for under eye, it creased in 10 minutes, I was trying to find the creasless on
LM makes, the only place I could find it is QVC, Real deal is not meant for under eye. I took mine back, plus its very drying
I very much like this concealer. I have a lighter olive complexion and oily skin. I have awful dark circles under my eyes. This does a fabulous job of covering them and the medium shade is perfect for me. If you use too much of this, it will look cakey. You only need the tiniest bit- which makes the price not bad at all. A tube of this lasts me forever !

a little goes along way. its fantastic although the packaging is.small in size it'll last forever !!!! best concealer ever
It is a decent concealer - Not so much for the under eyes, though. This product became slightly greasy, and did not do a good job at covering the under eye circles. But in general, it was good at covering some of the darker spots on my face.

I was quite sticker shocked at Ulta, but decided to plunk down the cash due to the all the rave reviews. I knew this would be on the thick side and hoped it would be just the thing to cover up the lovely broken capillaries on either side of my nose. I selected "LIGHT" and it is, in fact, too light. Also, it can absolutely look cakey. You really only need the tiniest dab. As for covering up my broken capillaries...it does a fairly impressive job. It also does an OK job on under-eye circles (but again, it's easy to use too much and end up with a cakey finish). Will probably repurchase.
One of my holy Grails. Why? Because it does not look cakey, and after it dries, it won't crease. It is not dry nor oily and just the perfect consistency. Has good coverage and you can layer it well. The packaging is a tube so it is very hygenic and it does not dry out. Definitely a Must try!!
This concealer is ok for the face, but not for my pinky toned skin. The lightest shade if very yellow / beige. It definitely does cover, but I would NEVER use this under my eyes. I tried it a few different ways on my dark circles, and it looked TERRIBLE every time. Cakey... yes, Settled into creases and lines... yes, dried to a powdery finish that looked fake.... yes!! This does work great on any red patches or the occasional blemish though! I mean really well! You just have to work a little to blend it with your foundation. (it does tend to look dry on pimples, especially if the area is already dry)

Very concentrated..so a little dab will definitely do ya! This has great staying power. It covers my mild undereye circles completely and the redness around my nose. I picked up a "tester" size of this at Ulta for $10 and honestly, it has lasted me forever. I couldn't imagine buying a full size unless you have got major issues that need covered every day. In all, it's a good product and I'll probably buy it again if I can find another trial size.

This concealer has wonderful coverage, lasts well, and is fairly easy to apply. On me, it is better to conceal blemishes/scars as opposed to the under eye area. So why the measly three lippie review? This concealer just doesn't come in a light enough shade for me. I am NC15-20 and even Light is too dark and too orangey for me.

WASHINGTON — Leading House Republicans reiterated their opposition Sunday to the immigration compromise passed by the Senate last week, highlighting the uncertain prospects for enactment of a major overhaul of the nation's immigration laws.
"The Senate bill is not going to pass in the House," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said on CNN's "State of the Union," echoing statements made by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and other senior GOP lawmakers.
Even Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a leading supporter of the Senate legislation, acknowledged the difficult path the bill faces in the Republican-controlled House.
U.S. immigration law: Decades of debate
"I'm concerned about the task ahead," he said on "Fox News Sunday." "It's not going to be easy."
Boehner has said that he will not bring up an immigration bill for a vote that does not have the support of the majority of the GOP House caucus.
Goodlatte noted Sunday that the vast majority of Senate Republicans voted against the Senate bill, which would create a system to confer legal status on 11 million immigrants in the country illegally while bolstering border security and tightening employment rules through an electronic system to verify workers' immigration status known as e-verify.
But many conservative lawmakers say the security provisions of the Senate bill are inadequate and may never be implemented.
"There is a diminution of trust among our fellow citizens," Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), who chairs the House Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee, said on Fox News. "And the notion that I can tell them, 'We are going to provide legalization, but trust us on the border security, trust on the internal security, trust on e-verify,' that's not going to fly in South Carolina."
One lawmaker was bullish on the legislation, however. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a leading architect of the Senate bill, predicted on Fox News that Boehner would look to House Democrats to pass the Senate's immigration overhaul, even if many House Republicans oppose the bill.
"I believe that by the end of this year, the House will pass the Senate bill," Schumer said.

Abstract: Background: Honey has been shown to have wound healing properties which can be ascribed to its antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial activity can be effective against a broad spectrum of bacterial species especially those of medical importance. It has also been shown that there is considerable variation in the antimicrobial potency of different types of honey, which is impossible to predict. With this in mind we tested the antimicrobial activity of honeys produced from plants grown in South Africa for their antibacterial properties on selected standard strains of oral microorganisms. Methods: The honeys used were produced from the blossoms of Eucalyptus cladocalyx (Bluegum) trees, an indigenous South African plant Leucospermum cordifolium (Pincushion), a mixture of wild heather shrubs, mainly Erica species (Fynbos) and a Leptospermum scoparium (Manuka) honey. Only pure honey which had not been heated was used. The honeys were tested for their antimicrobial properties with a broth dilution method. Results: Although the honeys produced some inhibitory effect on the growth of the microorganisms, no exceptionally high activity occurred in the South African honeys. The carbohydrate concentration plays a key role in the antimicrobial activity of the honeys above 25%. However, these honeys do contain other antimicrobial properties that are effective against certain bacterial species at concentrations well below the hypertonic sugar concentration. The yeast C. albicans was more resistant to the honeys than the bacteria. The species S. anginosus and S. oralis were more sensitive to the honeys than the other test bacteria. Conclusion: The honeys produced from indigenous wild flowers from South Africa had no exceptionally high activity that could afford medical grade status.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two different 10% carbamide peroxide bleaching products just after treatment and after a 6-month follow-up period. Methods. Two 10% carbamide peroxide products (Opalescence PF andNiteWhite ACP) were applied nightly for 14 days, according to the manufacturers' instructions. The color of teeth 11 and 21 of thirty-four subjects having A2 or darker teeth were measured with a spectrophotometer (L∗; a∗; b∗) before treatment, just after treatment (14 days) and after 6 months. Results and Conclusions. Both products produced significant whitening of teeth with total color change (ΔE∗ ab) of approximately 5.20 units. There was a significant improvement in all 3 color coordinates (L∗, a∗, and b∗) for up to 6 months postbleaching (P < .05). Nite White showed a higher degree of relapse (27%) than Opalescence (18%) over the 6-month period. It is suggested that rebleaching after 6 months is not necessary URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/587 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Today it is generally accepted that most bonding agents are cytotoxic. In this study the relative cyto-toxicity of seven recent dentine bonding agents on mouse 3T3 fibroblast cells were investigated. Materials and Methods. Near-confluent mouse 3T3 fibro- blast cells were exposed to Dulbecco Modified Eagle's Medium containing extractions from the seven different bonding agents. The cell survival rate was then determined using the standard MTT assay. Results. The cell survival rate ranking is: iBond (94%) < Gbond (78%) < Xeno V (71%) < Adper Easy Bond (63%) < Xeno V+ (61%) < Adper Scotchbond SE (33%) < XP Bond (32%). Part A of Adper Scotchbond SE had a survival rate of 35% and part B 38%. These two parts did not differ significantly. Adper Scotchbond SE and XP Bond do not differ significantly. While Xeno V+, Xeno V and Adper Easy Bond do not differ. (p < 5%; Tukey-Kramer Multiple-Comparison Test). Conclusion. All of the tested adhesive bonding agents were cytotoxic with survival rate of 3T3 cells between 94% to 31%. Of the 7 bonding agents tested iBond was found to be only slightly toxic and by far the least toxic. The two bonding agents (XP Bond and Adper Scotchbond SE) containing UDMA plus TEGDMA plus HEMA plus camphorquinone were found to be the most toxic.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The purpose was to evaluate the effect of various Opalescence tooth-whitening products on enamel. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Enamel blocks were exposed to Opalescence PF 10% Carbamide Peroxide (n = 10), Opalescence PF 20% Carbamide Peroxide (n = 10), Opalescence Trèswhite Supreme 10% Hydrogen Peroxide (n = 10) and Opalescence Quick PF 45% Carbamide Peroxide (n = 10) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The control group was enamel blocks (n = 10) kept in artificial saliva. The values were obtained before exposure and after the 14-days treatment period. Enamel blocks were kept in saliva between treatments. Indent marks on enamel blocks were examined using the scanning electron microscope for treatment effects. RESULTS: All four different Opalescence products damaged enamel. The most damage was done when treated for a long period (112 hours). SEM images also showed damage to enamel by all 4 products. Opalescence with 10% and with 20% Carbamide Peroxide showed the highest damage, which also differed significantly (p < 0.05) from the saliva control group (p < 0.05; Tukey-Kramer Multiple comparison test). CONCLUSION: All 4 Opalescence products damaged enamel. Higher damage was done by the 10% carbamide peroxide and 20% carbamide peroxide products because of the much longer exposure period (112 hours in comparison to 7 hours).

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: This in vitro study evaluated the effect of four over-the-counter tooth-whitening products on enamel microhardness. METHODS: Fifty enamel blocks were prepared from extracted human molar teeth. The enamel surfaces were polished up to 1200 grit fineness and the specimens randomly divided into five groups. Enamel blocks were exposed to: Rapid White (n=10); Absolute White (n=10); Speed White (n=10) and White Glo (n=10) whitening products, according to the manufacturers' instructions. As control, ten enamel blocks were kept in artificial saliva at 37 degrees C without any treatment. Microhardness values were obtained before exposure (baseline) and after 1, 7 and 14-day treatment periods using a digital hardness tester with a Vickers diamond indenter. Data were analysed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum Test, one-way ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparison Test (p<0.05). RESULTS: Both Rapid White and Absolute White reduced enamel microhardness. Speed White increased the microhardness of enamel, while White Glo and artificial saliva had no effect on hardness. CONCLUSIONS: Over-the-counter tooth-whitening products might decrease enamel microhardness depending on the type of product. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/616 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Objectives: The purpose was to evaluate the effect of various tooth-whitening products on the South African market, containing carbamide peroxide (CP) or hydrogen peroxide (HP), on enamel microhardness. Methods: Enamel blocks were exposed to: Nite White® ACP 10% CP (group 2, n=10); Yotuel® Patient 10% CP (group 3, n=10); Opalescence® PF 10% CP (group 4, n=10); Opalescence® PF 20% CP (group 5, n=10); Opalescence® Treswhite Supreme 10% HP (group 6, n=10); Yotuel® 10 Minutes 30% CP (group 7, n=10); Opalescence® Quick 45% CP (group 8, n=10), Yotuel® Special 35% HP (group 9, n=10), Opalescence® Boost 38% HP (group 10, n=10) according to the instructions of the manufacturers. The control group (1) was enamel blocks (n=10) kept in artificial saliva at 37˚C without any treatment. The microhardness values were obtained before exposure and after a 14-day treatment period. Specimens were kept in artificial saliva at 37˚C between treatments. Data were analysed using Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparison Test. Indent marks on the enamel blocks were also examined under the scanning electron microscope. Results: All whitening products decreased enamel microhardness except group 10. Only Groups 2,3,4,5 and 7 showed significant decrease in enamel microhardness as compared to the control group (p<0.05). Groups 2, 3 and 7 differed significantly from all the other groups (p<0.05). The highest damage was recorded for group 2 (Nite White® ACP 10% CP), which differed significantly from groups 3 and 7. SEM images also showed damage to enamel. Conclusions: All products damaged enamel except Opalescence® Boost 38% HP. In general, the products containing carbamide peroxide were more damaging while longer treatment periods influenced the microhardness values negatively. Nite White® ACP without fluoride showed relatively more damage than all the other products containing fluoride. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/590 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: To clinically evaluate the effectiveness of Nite White 10% carbamide peroxide with amorphous calcium phosphate, potassium nitrate and fluoride over a 6-month follow-up period. Nite White was applied nightly for 14 days, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The color of teeth 11 and 21 of twenty one subjects was measured with a spectrophotometer (L*; a*; b*). Subjects were instructed to take note of any tooth sensitivity and gingival irritation. For all three components (L*, a* and b*) statistical significant differences (p<0.05) in the values between base-line (prebleaching) and; after treatment, after 1-month, after 3-months as well as after 6-months were found (Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum Test). Significant differences were also found amongst the E*ab (0-14days) values and; E*ab (0-1 month), E*ab (0-3 months) and E*ab (0-6 months). However, no significant differences were found between pairs of E*ab (0-1 month), E*ab (0-3 months) and E*ab (0-6months). The decrease in E*ab was the highest after 1 month (~30%). The highest decrease in L* was about 58% after 1 month. Over the 14-day treatment period tooth sensitivity was 24.5%. Conclusions: Nite White ACP demonstrated significant tooth-whitening (unit increase = 5.29) with a low tooth sensitivity (25%) probably due to the presence of amorphous calcium phosphate, potassium nitrate, and fluoride. The whitening effect decreased the most after one month and then maintained well even after a 6 month period (units 3.89). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/586 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to assess the relative base designs of three different maxillary molar stainless steel brackets with reference to the shear bond strength of three different adhesive resins. The molar brackets used were Victory series (3M Unitek), Upper Molar (GAC) and Optimesh XRT (Ormco). The adhesives used were Transbond XT (3M Unitek), Enlight (Ormco) and Sure Ortho Light Bond (Sure Orthodontics). The human enamel specimens (144) were randomly divided into nine groups and each group (n=16) was allocated to a bracket/adhesive combination. The contact surface of each of the bracket bases was measured three dimensionally using a reflex microscope. The base designs were also subjected to further microscopic investigations. The brackets were bonded to the enamel, temperature cycled and the shear bond strength was measured. The size and design of each of the brackets was different. The base size, surface treatment, mesh strand diameter and aperture size of the bracket base mesh have a significant effect on the shear bond strength at the bracket/adhesive interface. The shear bond strengths of all three Ormco bracket/adhesive resin combinations (5.8-6.8 MPa) were significantly lower (p<0.05; Kruskal-Wallis) than the other six bracket/adhesive combinations (9.4-12.1 MPa). The different adhesive types (3 types) could not be mainly responsible for the low shear bond values found for the Ormco bracket. The 3M Unitek combination of the Victory series bracket and Transbond XT adhesive proved to have a high shear bond strength without enamel damage.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the pH levels of 29 different samples of methamphetamine on the street market in Cape Town. The sample was dissolved in water and the pH of each sample determined. The pH levels varied from 3.02 to 7.03 with an average of 5.0. Seventy-two percent (21) of the samples had a pH level below the saliva "critical pH point of 5.6" and therefore should cause significant damage to enamel, especially in hyposalivation subjects without a saliva flow. However, about 26% of the samples had a pH level close to the neutral point and should cause minor damage to enamel. To lessen enamel damage, subjects should exercise good oral hygiene practice, rinse with a fluoride-containing mouth rinse, drink artificially sweetened drinks, and eat cheese. It is concluded that most of the methamphetamine samples have a low enough pH to cause direct damage to enamel especially in hyposalivation subjects.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the pH of 21 commercially available tooth-whitening products. METHODS: Tooth-whitening products were divided into four categories: dentist supervised-home bleaching products (n = 5); in-office bleaching products (n = 5); over-the-counter bleaching products (n = 4) and whitening toothpastes and rinses (n = 7). The pH of three samples of each product was measured using an Orion Expandable Ion Analyzer EA940 with a Sure-Flow, Epoxy-body combination pH electrode. The group data were analysed using one way ANOVA (significant at p < 0.05). RESULTS: The five dentist supervised-home bleaching products had a mean pH of 6.21 +/- 0.76 and ranged from 4.88 to 6.81. The five in-office bleaching products had a mean pH of 6.26 +/- 1.19 and ranged from 5.30 to 7.85. The four over-the-counter whitening products had a mean pH of 5.07 +/- 1.74 and ranged from 3.76 to 8.03 and the seven whitening toothpastes had a mean pH of 7.66 +/- 1.19 and ranged from 6.61 to 9.68. The pH of the over-the-counter category was significantly lower (more acidic) than all other categories (p < 0.05). The whitening gel of Rapid-White had the lowest acidic pH of 3.76 and Colgate Advanced Whitening toothpaste showed the highest alkaline pH of 9.68. CONCLUSIONS: The pH of all tooth-whitening products showed a wide range from 3.76 (highly acidic) to 9.68 (highly alkaline). Over-the-counter whitening products showed the lowest pH levels and in general these can be expected to damage enamel more than the other products. Dentists should be vigilant with regards to products used outside their surgeries and should warn their patients accordingly. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The acidic pH of many of the whitening products other than in-office bleaching products is of concern and the general public should be better informed by the dental professionals of the dangers of these products.

Abstract: This field study included the whole population of children aged 10–15 years (77 from a 0.19 mg/L F area; 89 from a 3.00 mg/L F area), with similar nutritional, dietary habits and similar ethnic and socioeconomic status. The fluoride concentration in the drinking water, the bone mineral content, the bone density and the degree of dental fluorosis were determined. The left radius was measured for bone width, bone mineral content, and bone mineral density. The mean fluorosis score was 1.3 in the low fluoride area and 3,6 in the high fluoride area. More than half the children in the low fluoride area had no fluorosis (scores 0 and 1) while only 5% in the high fluoride area had none. Severe fluorosis (30%) was only observed in the high fluoride area. The Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test indicated that fluorosis levels differed significantly (p < 0.05) between the two areas. No relationships were found between dental fluorosis and bone width or between fluorosis and bone mineral density in the two areas (Spearment Rank correlations). A significant increase in bone width was found with age but no differences amongst and boys and girls. A significant positive correlation was found in the high fluoride area between bone mineral density over age. In the 12-13 and 13-14 year age groups in the high fluoride area, girls had higher bone mineral densities. However, a significant negative correlation (p<0.02) was found for the low fluoride area (0.19 mg/L F) over age. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/404 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Opalescence PF 10% just after treatment, at 6-month follow-up and at a 14-month follow-up period. Methods: Opalescence PF 10% was applied nightly for 14 days. The color of teeth 11 and 21 of 17 subjects were measured with a spectrophotometer (L*; a*; b*) before treatment, just after treatment (14 days), after 6 months and after 14 months. Subjects were instructed to take note of any tooth sensitivity. Results: For all three components (L*, a* and b*) statistical significant differences (p < 0.05) in the values between base-line, after treatment (14 days later), after 6 months and after 14 months were found (Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum Test). The decrease in L* was about 20% after 6 months and about 50% after 14 months. The a* value decreased approximately 14% after 6 months but was worse after 14 months than at the beginning. The b* value decreased the least with about 9% after 6 months and about 8% after 14 months. The decrease in View the MathML source was ∼20% after 14 months. Less than 20% of the subjects experienced mild tooth sensitivity just after treatment. Conclusion: Significantly whiter teeth were found after treatment as well as after a 6-month follow-up period. The whiteness/brightness (L*) decreased with ∼50% after 14 months and the a* value with ∼50% after 7 months, while the yellowness (b* value) remained even after 14 months. Clinical implications: The product is an effective tooth whitener resulting in only low tooth sensitivity. Re-bleaching could be done at about 14 months.

Abstract: Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the whitening efficacy of three different oral rinses. Materials and methods: Eighty extracted teeth were randomly divided into four groups, cleaned with a slow-speed hand-piece with pumice and placed in a staining broth for 14 days. Measurements of tooth shades were measured with a spectrophotometer. Three groups (20 each) were then exposed to Colgate Plax Whitening Blancheur (A), White Glo 2 in 1 (B) and Plus White (C) for 21 days for 2 minutes a day and in between stored in artificial saliva. The other group acted as a control and was only stored in the artificial saliva. Results: The Kruskal-Wallis and Tukey-Kramer analysis showed no statistical significant differences (on a 5% basis) for the differences between base-line and after treatment (21 days) for ΔL*, Δa*, Δb* and ΔE*ab median values amongst the control, Colgate Plax Whitening Blancheur, White Glo 2 in 1, and Plus White. Conclusion: None of the three commercially available oral rinses resulted in any significant bleaching effect on the teeth over a 21 day treatment period.

Our CIA assets positioned on 9/11 all states.
Come -- -- -- of these people for over seven hours so it's important it's another piece of evidence that was Everest spontaneous riot.

They're leaking -- to Washington Post reporters and columnist.
But what else distract a leak this talking points memo from the CIA that it was O'Bryant witnesses.
Another piece of evidence that was never our riots -- but I have a video it was a pre planned terrorist attack they think that people.
And who are responsible for the attack while it's going on to -- was nothing done to help these -- Well let let's let's talk a little bit about that point because that's something that ambassador Bolton brought up.
-- US last hour as well senator Graham I think it's crucial because a lot of the conversation about the -- Ghazi attack.
Is in the rear view Mir looking backwards and we have a responsibility.
To look -- or is -- as stood to the path ahead for this country and national security when the questions is raised that you just raised.
Is if terror attack was even mentioned why weren't more forces whenever they wore.
I've sent in to help our people -- on the ground there and the question and then as surfaces are -- truly prepared at this time.

After 9/11 have to we cannot be prepared to deal with an attack.
And I guess American interest commoner abroad and why did they -- been -- its.
To explain this attack as -- Bryant video because it it was in fact an al-Qaeda inspired attacked.
So much for that narrative that al-Qaeda -- been dismantled so this is disturbing -- see in real time Jenna.
Proof positive that it was a terrorist attacked before telling us so on the ground -- it will respond in real time what it was called the working group together.
And how could we have let these people so unprotected understand -- for over seven hours on September 11 -- thing.
It's an important question secretary of state Hillary Clinton came out earlier today said.
-- there's cherry picking an information taking place and they're still gathering information to -- Out get a -- cannot respond to that -- the senate the cherry picking up information was saying it was -- -- -- about video.
That was -- picking they are still falling out there and I that think they're not transparent about being not as.

Should be a must-read.
The liberal terds want us to be disarmed like the Armenians and European Jews. No thanks.
They can´t manage anything yet they have to manage everything.
We´ll probably have to fight when they come for the guns. Otherwise, we deserve what the liberals have planned for us.
They can talk all they like using their limited knowledge of firearms, the law and the Constitution. Bottom line, they haven´t yet tried to confiscate the first gun from the first law-abiding citizen. That´s when it´s going to get interesting. Neighborhoods need to start forming militias and start putting up "Government Watch" signs to replace the "Crime Watch" versions. The former is much more dangerous.
Samuel Colt´s, ´´Peacemaker,´´ proved to merit that name.

Nimbus And AaronJP1 thank you so much for the samples.
I recieved
2 Poseidon NT 1 Georgia Peach and 1 Southern Cherry
2 Poseidon 1 Island Kiwi and 1 Mystic Raspberry
2 BLAST 2 Georgia Peach
RcB Since 09-06-2011 20:55 EST, Post 49
i tried to pick up a NT and a Regular on an actual website that carries them.. source was professional if you know what i mean... after making the order and being charged, they called and said they ran out of the NT and weren't likely stocking back up.. ended up just getting to regular.. love the stuff during my workouts, with citrulline and leucine.
not too many spots out there carrying the NT
Nice Marms, glad you won something
nice.should be a good one here
2 Poseidon NT 1 Georgia Peach and 1 Southern Cherry
The last 2 night I tried the NT
They both mixed VERY well and I like the Southern Cherry a little better then the Georgia Peach.
The peach was good im just not a peach fan so its not the product its me for the flavor/taste on that one
The Southern Cherry was Great loved the taste it was perfect a little tart/sweet but good.
As far as the product effects.
Only had the 2 samples so for a night time products its a little hard to judge in fairness.
Took the product about 45 min before bed and I slept ok. Nothing that MADE me sleep all night or not wake during the night but it was just OK.
I was not groggy when I woke up so on that aspect I liked it.
Will be taking the others the next 2 days and will update
Glad I found your, link...
See you're liking the cheery huh?
That's good news
Hardcore Purus Labs {Rep}
Lift the fücking weight from the floor, or leave it on the ground. The thoughts are supposed to be daunting. The pain is meant to be tormenting.
I'll keep that in mind.Originally Posted by Marms

Glad I'm not the only one that likes cherry more than the other flavors!!! It's kinda refreshing besides being a drink that hydrates

Ya cherry is in the lead for me as far as taste. Just had some Mystic raspberry a bit ago and it taste like a cyrstal light or Lipton raspberry green tea.
Later we will see how the Blast treats me PWO but I will only be doing cardio today. Rough night kid was up with stomach flu so no lifting today.
where? you can't even purchase it from your website (it's down?) ...i've seen two places online that carry it. Both that i've never ordered from before and will only over the next few months as a last resort to try the NT formula.. How close is NP from carrying this stuff?
It's all up to Nutra Planet currently. We've sent them an offer, and are willing to negotiate to make this happen.....just waiting to hear back. Again, I urge all those that want to purchase Nimbus products from Nutra Planet to let them know....post in their forum and shoot them emails.You have PM.
~ Still Around ~
Last night hit up some cardio with BLAST. The only 2 flavors were peach o not much of a diff there for me
It seemed good for a cardio PWO could use maybe 2 packs/scoops for lifting.

Today was stay and play day at Ben's school. I'd been in last week when they were making Christmas decorations but that didn't stop Ben giving me the grand tour once again. Last week he proudly showed me a picture on the board which he had drawn and written his name on, but then he had looked slightly crest fallen as he added "But I forgot to draw the arms"
Today he didn't know what he wanted to do and he ended up showing me exactly the same things as he had last week – here's where we put our book bags, here's my peg etc etc. Eventually his teacher suggested he do this board thing where you make patterns with thread by pushing it into holes on the board. His first attempt was a Pelicans beak! I made a car, a train, a bus and a birthday cake (although doing the candles was a bit tricky!
Then he decided he wanted to draw a picture so he got a piece of paper and a pencil and started to draw. "What are you going to draw Ben?" "I'm going to draw myself but this time I will remember the arms. When he had finished he showed one of the staff and he was rewarded with a sticker. We decided to take it home so we could stick it up on the wall.
When we went back to pick him up tonight he showed me where the book bags were kept.
"I know" Said I "You showed me this morning"
"I know I did" he replied " But I thought I'd show you again in case you forgot!"


text: In the new "Dior Joaillerie" by Michèle Heuzé (Rizzoli, $75), the magnificent work of Dior's fine jewelry director Victoire de Castellane is chronicled in sparkling detail. Organized in chapters devoted to each of her wildly imaginative collections — Excentriques, Belladone Island and Harem are just a few of them — the book combines Christian Dior lore with de Castellane's exquisite gem-heavy interpretations of it. "I didn't set out to shock," she writes in the preface, though her diamond-riddled roses and spellbinding blooms-as-brooches (odes to Monsieur Dior's love for gardening) have a peculiar, jaw-dropping effect on people. "My rings are so voluminous that the first thought that pops into your head is, 'They're incredible!'" de Castellane muses. Here, the Ancolia ring (from the Milly Carnivora collection) is a colorful, cartoonlike rendering of a flower made from yellow gold, diamonds, yellow tourmalines, rubellite and lacquer. Turn the pages and you'll discover similar whimsy in the more macabre Roi d'Opalie (from Reines et Rois), a pink opal skull decorated with an elaborate crown of diamonds and cultured pearls. Indeed, "Dior Joaillerie" is like a treasure chest, full to the brim. Open, but be warned: reading may prompt pricey fantasies.

"What Would It Mean To Win?" was filmed on the blockades at the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany in June 2007. In their first collaborative film Zanny Begg and Oliver Ressler focus on the current state of the counter-globalisation movement in a project which grows out of both artists' preoccupation with globalization and its discontents. The film, which combines documentary footage, interviews and animation sequences, is structured around three questions pertinent to the movement: Who are we? What is our power? What would it mean to win?
Almost ten years after "Seattle" this film explores the impact this movement has had on contemporary politics. Seattle has been described as the birthplace for the "movement of movements" and marked a time when resistance to capitalist globalization emerged in industrialised nations. In many senses it has been regarded as the time when a new social subject - the multitude - entered the political landscape. Recently the counter-globalisation movement has gone through a certain malaise accentuated byb the shifts in global politics in the post 911 context.
The protests in Heiligendamm seemed to re-assert the confidence, inventiveness and creativity of the counter-globalisation movement. In particular the five finger tactic – where protesters spread out across the fields of Roctock slipping around police lines – proved successful in establishing blockades in all roads into Heiligendamm. Staff working for the G8 summit were forced to enter and leave the meeting by helicopter or boat thus providing a symbolic victory to the movement.
"What Would It Mean To Win?" as the title implies, addresses this central question for the movement. During the Seattle demonstrations "we are winning" was a popular graffiti slogan that captured the sense of euphoria that came with the birth of a new movement. Since that time however this slogan has been regarded in a much more speculative manner. This film aims to move beyond the question of whether we are "winning" or not by addressing what would it actually mean to win.
When addressing the question "what would it mean to win?" John Holloway quotes Subcomandante Marcos who once described "winning" as the ability to live an "infinite film program" where participants could re-invent themselves each day, each hour, each minute. The animated sequences take this as their starting point to explore how ideas of social agency, struggle and winning are incorporated into our imagination of politics

One of the barriers we all face when trying to eat better involves the up front cost of stocking our kitchens to suit our new dietary lifestyles. When you're getting started, it seems like every recipe calls for three or four condiments, spices, or pantry staples you don't yet have (and require a serious investment when it comes to your grocery bill). It can take a long time for the budding home cook to build a well-stocked kitchen, but in the meantime, there are some essentials that are more versatile—and affordable—than others. Keep your kitchen stocked with these and you'll be able to whip together simple, healthy recipes that *taste* leaps and bounds above your ordinary steamed or sauteed staples (like vegetables, rice, etc).
For me, this means always keeping olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a pepper grinder and sea salt on hand, along with fresh onion and garlic (which thankfully stay fresh much longer than many vegetables vegetables). Here are eight other suggestions of ingredients to keep on hand for easy, healthy meal prep:

October 29 Event Showcased Updates and Challenges for the Upcoming Medicare Data Validation Season
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Medicare data validation (DV) auditors PSRx Advisors and MetaStar, Inc. held a one-hour webinar event on October 29 at which they discussed trends and challenges of the upcoming Medicare data validation season with nearly 30 attendees from PBMs and health plans across the country.
The roundtable discussion addressed topics such as:
The cast of expert panelists included:
"We really wanted to share what we've learned over the most recent DV season as well as what we think is coming over the horizon," said Casurella.
Adds Cleary: "We were very sensitive to the fact that we're in the DV 'offseason' right now, which means we're restricted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) from doing anything that could be considered consultative. So while we didn't answer any specific questions, we did offer to pass along inquiries to CMS and share their response."
Interested individuals can help frame future DV discussions by completing a short survey about their experience with prior data validation audits.

The open design and Isofix connectors of the Maxi-Cosi RodiFix lock the car seat to the bodywork of the car, allowing your child to climb aboard in seconds, helping you to find the buckle and secure your child in the car with ease, every time. Buckling them up is made simpler thanks to the unique seat belt guides. The compactness of the car seat makes it hassle free to switch from one car to another. The car seat offers a very comfortable recline position. Now all you need to do is simply open the door and let them in, ensuring that you'll always arrive ahead of the crowd.
After a lot of research into safety performance, I ordered this product. It was either this or the Britax one with the side impact protection, but this got better reviews on width size & portability. My only issue with it is that my little boy has only just turned three, but has already gone past the height and weight limit of his previous maxicosi isofix seat which supposedly should have lasted until he was about four. This one, although it has isofix too, is nowhere near as solid/stable feeling and he's on the young side (I feel) for wearing a normal 3-point seatbelt as his only safety restraint, but that's all that seems to be available to us now. He's not even overly big compared to his friends, so think the manufacturers are a bit out when they produce their age range guidelines. Not a bad product review as such because it does seem to be the safest and best available option, I just wish I could have kept him in something that felt sturdier for a bit longer.
Bought for my 3 1/2 year old. Really easy to install - very lightweight and isofix connectors go in and out very easily (unlike previous seats we've had.) Haven't had to clean it yet, so can't comment on how easy that will be. Fantastic service from Kiddicare - it arrived really quickly. Overall very happy with the seat.
This is a lovely looking quality seat for my 3 year old. It was worth the extra money for the Isofix as the seat locks firmly into position and is very easy to install. Also very lightweight so easy and quick to move between cars. My husband found that the seat fits better in his car if he removes the car headrest. Not sure about the recline function, I've only had the seat a few days and the first time I tried to use it seemed difficult to move with the weight of my son in the seat!!
This a a very comfortable booster - my almost 4 year old loves it.
Although my daughter's original car seat went up to the age of 6 years I was finding it a struggle to get her into the seat and get it buckled up. As she is now over the minimum weight limit this is so much easier to use. She can get into it herself and buckling her in with the seat belt is much quicker. I am very pleased that it is isofixed to the car for added safety and it looks smart in the interior of the car. Best of all, my daughter loves sitting in her 'big girl seat'!

Residents of the Sweet Home Central School District approved both of the propositions of a capital project vote on Tuesday, October 22nd. Proposition #1 passed by a vote of 553 to 215. Proposition #2 passed by a vote of 500 to 265.
Proposition #1 ($16.8 million) will provide needed improvements and upgrades to many aspects of the Sweet Home physical plant. The work will include new roofs at the High School and Glendale and Maplemere Elementary Schools. Other work includes parking lot reconstruction and reconfiguration to improve the safety of kids and visitors, the refinishing of gym floors and the installation of new fire alarm and clock systems. At each building, funds are also targeted to provide secure building entry designs. Currently, a visitor to any Sweet Home school can, upon entry, have direct access to classrooms and students without encountering any other adult. These secure entry ways will force visitors to enter and move through the main offices prior to moving into school buildings.
Proposition #1 also includes funds to rehabilitate playing fields at the high school campus. Funds will provide for resurfacing of all fields and the installation of new irrigation systems. Additional funds are also earmarked to rebuild tennis courts, resurface the all-weather track, construct a new concession/ restroom facility and to replace the 40 year-old bleachers at the football stadium.
Proposition #2 will combine the funds earmarked for athletic field renovation in Proposition #1 with an additional $1.9 million to construct a multi-sport artificial turf complex in the currently vacant "north" fields behind the high school. This enhancement would include lights that would provide expanded opportunities for student and community use of the facility. Proposition #2 maintains funds for the reconstruction of the tennis courts and resurfacing of the track.
Estimated property tax impact on a home assessed at $120,000 is $19.60 for Proposition #1 and $2.50 for Proposition #2.

I have decided to continue the discussion of the restoration of my gaff rigged Kosterbåt in a more continuous thread. I would call this a non-traditional restoration, as I will be making some improvements and using things like epoxy where appropriate, the previous owners started down this path and I have chosen to stay on it. Here is a sketch of her lines and rig:
Her rough measurements are 7.6m x 2.85m x 1.20m below the waterline.
I have drawn this from composite photos, so nothing is exact. Once the major work is done on her I can begin to take lines, make sail measurements, offsets, and all the things we all long for in an old boat. But before that fine day there is work to be done. I also plan to keep her in the water each summer so as this may slow down the progress of the project as a whole, I will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor:
I had a thread going for the last major phase of the project, Plank repair and replacement, which you can find here:
I will be posting on many of the "small" jobs I have been accomplishing over the last year or so, but first I'll talk about the most recent and exciting phase: The Cockpit!

This is -- Imus in the morning.
Good morning everyone a standoff continues between the White House and Republicans over how to head off tax hikes.
And spending cuts known as a fiscal clip.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner in house speaker John Boehner discussed where things stand yesterday on FOX News Sunday.
We laid out a very detailed.
Carefully designed set -- spending savings.
And tax changes that help put us back on the path of fiscal responsibility protect taxes -- -- my for 90% of Americans and provide Somalis from from investments in things we -- like infrastructure.
And we think that's a very good set of proposals we think that's what's good for the economy.
If they've got some different suggestions that wanna go further in some areas nation that officially to us.
The president asking for one point six trillion dollars worth of new revenue over ten years twice as much.
As he's been asking for a public.
His stimulus spending.
In here that exceeded by the amount of new cuts that he was willing to consider.
It was not a serious off.
500 billion dollars in tax hikes and automatic spending cuts will kick in on January 1.
If both of those sides can't reach an agreement.
Checking the markets now here in the US futures have been up all morning Dow futures are up almost sixty TSB's up about seven and the nasdaq's up about eighteen there.
In Europe Reuters is reporting that Spain has -- quest for EU bailout funds will give you more.
On that as we get it in the meantime eurozone PMI also rose to 46 point two in November and stocks in Europe are up London's up about thirty -- is up.
About 43 there and Frankfurt's up almost 77.
We're getting auto sales numbers in from Chrysler now the company says sales rose 14% last month compared to a year ago.
The estimate there was for rise of 13%.
And the company had a 10% rise in October.
Now let's get another look at those European markets and go live to London with Alastair MacKay market analysts.
For I G -- I know there -- a huge amount of details out on -- Spanish bailout request but what are your thoughts on what we know so far.
Well initially sounds like it's the banking sector specifically that talking about bailing out rather than the whole of Spain as it were so whoever took that information is a little bit sketchy on that -- just for the moment.
They have been long maybe Q and fattest but I I think.
-- to suddenly request -- the beginning of December I'm a little bit surprised so -- that would have tried to hang on.
To the beginning of next year they've got said local elections in the first part of January.
In the first few weeks at Jenner and about would have been obvious target to hang on until then before -- before making any sort of formal request.
-- think that this timing shows any extra desperation on Spain's part the -- -- all about just yet.
While mr.
Roy at -- as assailant didn't think this would be would have been the -- he would have once -- put into place like.
-- still a little bit thin on the information on this one so I don't want to jump to conclusions here.
I certainly think if Spain were going to be looking for total bailout they would be talking about it realistically they would prefer I have preferred it to be next cal India.
All right fair analysis there are now shifting gears a little bit here to the US you know we know that our politicians frequently waited till the last minute.
To -- deals but the possibility of going over this fiscal cliff does seem to be growing so how should investors plan for that.
Unfortunately seems very much like -- -- gonna take this all the way to the Y we and I for the first couple of weeks we didn't really ask them President Obama was reelected.
Nothing really was set too much last week we've had a a bit of political rhetoric from the different parties but said that's not really been it's it's any movement in the right direction.
And I think he got a look at the debt rating agencies here that they will take action.
You any need to look at the fact that this weekend they downgraded seven.
The Euro zone bailout fund because of the fact that they -- downgraded the French national that.
So I think they've they've taken proactive measures in downgrading debt where they believe it's it's warranted so I think.
In America should really take heed of this that there -- of a very high chance that that I get this sorted out they will get a debt downgraded.
And I that's Alastair MacKay live from -- announced it does good stock yeah thanks so much.
Thank you -- And UBS reportedly is close to deal with the US and British authorities over claims that some of its workers reported false Libor rates to boost the -- profit.
New York Times says the Swiss bank is expected to pay more than the 450 million dollars Barclays -- find in June for manipulating those rates.
Barclays chairman and chief executive also resigned in the wake of that scandal Libor keep in mind is used to set interest rates on everything from credit cards to student loans to mortgages.
Here's a look at commodities now oil and gold -- both up forcing oil now up about sixty cents trading.

TVA Issues 50-Year Bonds At Record Low Interest Rate
September 17, 2010
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Valley Authority priced $1 billion of 50-year global power bonds Thursday that carry an interest rate of 4.625 percent, representing TVA's lowest-ever rate for a bond with a maturity of 30 years or longer.
TVA chose the 50-year maturity because of strong demand for long-dated, fixed-income investments, which has made the cost of extending the maturity relatively inexpensive for bond issuers. The incremental cost for TVA to issue 50-year bonds versus 30-year bonds was approximately one-eighth of one percentage point. Insurance companies, money managers and other investors with a need for long-term investments participated in the offering. TVA initially announced a transaction of $500 million but increased the size because of strong response.
"The low rate achieved on this bond offering will lock in lower expense for TVA and our customers," said John Thomas, TVA chief financial officer. "We had strong response from investors and were able to take advantage of low interest rates and an accommodative market to set a financing record."
Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley were joint book-running managers for the offering. Proceeds from the sale will be used by TVA to refinance existing debt and for other power system purposes.
TVA receives no funding from taxpayers and pays its own way with revenues from power sales and power program financings. TVA looks for a combination of favorable market conditions and strong investor demand in making the decision to issue long-term bonds to meet its funding needs.
"Fifty-year bonds are relatively rare," said John Hoskins, TVA senior vice president and treasurer. "Investors are not always willing to buy such long maturities, particularly with interest rates at historic lows. The size and success of the 50-year offering is a positive statement about TVA's standing in the financial markets."
TVA's rated power bonds are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and "AAA" by Fitch Ratings and Standard and Poor's. TVA has applied for ratings for the new 50-year power bonds from each agency. The new bonds mature on Sept. 15, 2060, and are not subject to redemption prior to maturity. Interest will be paid semi-annually each March 15 and Sept. 15.
Application has been made to list the bonds on the New York Stock Exchange. The bonds will also be issued, maintained and transferred through the book-entry system of the Federal Reserve Banks. Transactions may be cleared and settled by international participants through Clearstream and Euroclear. The bonds can be identified by the CUSIP number 880591EJ7.

Great idea about the nacho bar. You should submit this to Tailgaiting time over at Martha's blog (http://seasidesimplicity.blogspot.com/). It's a weekly food meme during football season she does a post on Sundays at noon and it has one of those self linking things.
I am a nacho monster and those look amazing. I'm definitely going to steal your idea of peppery arugula on top!

At first glance, it looks like a purple box kite caught in a tree.
On closer inspection, however, you can see the ropes that tie the odd-looking contraption so that it's suspended high from the branches of the tree.
It's called an EAB trap and more than 900 of them are now hanging from ash trees on public and private lands across the state in effort to trap any Emerald Ash Borers that may have invaded the state. The borer is a type of beetle that invades ash trees and is killing millions of the trees in other states. The destructive insect has been detected 25 miles from the Connecticut border in New York, so the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in conjunction with the state's Department of Environmental Protection, wants to figure out if they're in Connecticut.
In all, 940 traps have been installed in ash trees in state and federal parks, as well as on private forestry lands. Under the program, which began in May, the traps will be placed in every Connecticut county except Windham and New London counties because they're greater than 50 miles from the nearest known detection of the ash borer in New York.
So far, environmental officials have said, the beetle has not invaded Connecticut.
The University of Connecticut Extension Service will monitor the traps, in cooperation with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection's forestry and parks personnel, the state Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"The EAB is an extremely destructive pest and is responsible for the death and decline of over 25 million ash trees in the U. S. since June, 2002." DEP Commissioner Daniel C. Esty said in unveiling the program this spring. "Considering Connecticut has more than 22 million ash trees, its presence here could have a devastating effect on the beauty of our forests, state and local parks and our neighborhoods, as well as the state's wood product industries."
According to information on the DEP's website, the EAB is a small, green beetle that belongs to a large family of beetles known as the buprestids, or metallic wood boring beetles. Many of the buprestids appear as if their wing covers are made of polished metal. The adult EAB has green, iridescent wing covers and is approximately one-half inch in length. It is not native to North America. It was first found in 2002 in the vicinity of Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario. It is presumed to have arrived several years earlier on woody packaging materials. It can now be found in 12 states and was discovered in nearby Saugerties, New York in July of 2010. EABs feed strictly on ash trees. The larvae feed just beneath the bark on the inside of the trees, while the adults feed on leaves.
Here, courtesy of the DEP, are a few quick facts about the purple traps you might see hanging in your town:
They're nicknamed "Barney traps" due to their large size (about 3-foot by 1- foot) and purple color.
They've been placed in targeted locations similar to where EAB was initially detected in other states, such as private and public campgrounds, DOT rest stops, nurseries and wood product locations.
They use oil to attract and lure the beetles.
The surface of the trap is coated with a sticky material which causes the EAB to adhere to it.
Traps cannot bring EAB into an area that is not already infested.
Birds and other wildlife will not become entangled in the traps.
The detection traps are sticky, but non-toxic to humans.
