Vegans and Vegetarians Finally Have a Couple of Good Options
Quite a few customers have called asking about vegan alternatives for fish oil.
Before I give them options, I first must have the Flaxseed-oil-is-virtually-useless talk. People are usually disappointed and surprised that Flaxseed isn't a substitute for fish oil. One pleasant fellow recently hung up the phone when I gave him this news.
After the Flaxseed oil discussion, I steer people towards algae oil.
Until recently, taking algae oil meant getting mostly DHA with very little if any EPA Omega-3. If you don't eat fish or fish oil, algae oil is a blessing. So people don't complain about the cost. They're happy to pay a premium that allows them to remain vegans and yet gives them the benefit of taking fish oil pills.
It's a win-win.
Still, many consumer who buy algae oil will eventually ask the following questions:
- Where's the EPA? Well, the algae species (grown in vats) used to make Omega-3 produce mostly DHA. They don't generate much EPA.
- Most fish oils have more EPA than DHA, should I be worried that I'm not getting enough EPA Omega-3? No need to be worried. Your body can convert small portions of DHA into EPA. So you won't be EPA deficient.
But if you want non-fish derived EPA, you were out of luck.
Not any more.
There are a couple of new products on the market worth a look:
I have tried both products. And like them both. But I prefer one over the other – keep reading.
450 mg Omega-3 Per Pill
This is a brand new item, just launched in April 2011.
This product is made from algae. Except, unlike older algae oil products, this one has both EPA and DHA. Each pill has 320 mg DHA and 130 mg EPA for a total fo 450 mg Omega-3 per pill.
That's 2.5X more DHA than EPA. But still, 130 mg of EPA is more than we've ever had in any algae oil. So, hurray!
I bought 60 pills for $19.99 and $5.99 shipping for a total of $25.98. I bought it at drugstore.com. The product arrived within a day or two of ordering.
I opened the bottle and stuck my nose in it. Funky. But no funkier than most fish oil bottles. I've been taking 3 pills every morning for about a week and I've not had any issues with burping or reflux.
Good product!
Futurebiotics New Harvest EPA
600 mg EPA Omega-3 Per Pill
This product was introduced last year and is just gaining distribution.
If you're a vegetarian or vegan, you need to try this product. It's not made from algae, but yeast. I bought a 30-capsule box for $16.99 + $4.95 shipping for a total of $21.94.
It's got 600 mg of EPA Omega-3 per softgel. There is 1200 mg of oil per pill so the strength is 50% Omega-3. 50% would be mid-pack for fish oil. But for vegetarian Omega-3 sources, 50% is great!
Two of these pills and you'd get 1200 mg of EPA. Wow! Again, not bad for non-fish-derived oils.
If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I prefer EPA to DHA. The folks at Futurebiotics illustrate this very well with the following graphic.
Percent Change in LDL Cholesterol after 600 mg each of EPA, DHA or Placebo (Olive oil)
In this study, 110 healthy people were given olive oil or EPA or DHA for 6 weeks. 600 mg of DHA Omega-3 showed about 14% increase in LDL Cholesterol.
Source: Gillies, P. "The New Science of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Differential Nutritional Pharmacology" Texas Human Nutrition Conference, Texas A&M University, February 2010.
DHA Omega-3 increases LDL (bad) cholesterol a little bit. EPA does not. If you're taking Omega-3 to moderate cholesterol and triglycerides, you need to know this. Not surprisingly, between the two products, I prefer New Harvest EPA.
This product also has a better antioxidant brew: rosemary extract, Vitamin E and ascorbyl palmitate. Nice.
The obligatory nose-in-the-bottle test passed although the odor reminded me a wood shop.
Just Can't Help Spooking People
The marketing materials and websites of both products try very hard to put fish-phobia into you. 'None of the unhealthy fats or toxins found in fish' says one. '100% free of ocean-borne pollutants,' 'free of allergens associated with fish,' and 'nothing fishy,' says the other.
Fear is a powerful (and profitable) weapon. Or may be it was just lazy marketers feeling pressured to justify charging a higher retail price.
Either way, fear-mongering is not needed. These are both great products that will attract flocks of vegans and vegetarians. I've already recommended it to my vegetarian relatives.
And, oh, after these two products, now there is absolutely NO REASON to take flaxseed oil.

Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
As the automatic stay does not apply to the collection of rent, you absolutely can continue to collect the rent from your properties. In fact, the stay never applies to the Bankruptcy debtor (filer), only to those who have claims against the debtor - such as credit card companies and mortgage companies.
Here is the relevant Bankruptcy Code section:
I think this is what you wanted to know. If not, please let me know.Thank you!
You are allowed to collect the rent for as long as you own the properties - until they are sold in a foreclosure sale.
Your Bankrutpcy has no bearing on whether or not you can collect the rent. You are allowed to collect the rent in spite of the Bankruptcy, and there is no point in the Bankruptcy process when you can no longer collect the rent.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
The primary issue is whether probable cause to issue a warrant existed in the case. The more specific issue is whether an affidavit that relies upon information from a confidential informant be valid and support the issuance of a warrant absent a litany outlining the credibility of the informant and his information when the reliability of same can be inferred by the surrounding information in the affidavit.
The trial court dismissed (with prejudice) the charges against the defendant. On review, the Supreme Court of Connecticut found error, vacated the judgment of dismissal, and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings.
Statement of facts: A roommate of a person that knew the defendant was interviewed by police prior to the complaint of a burglary, and then subsequent to said complaint. The affidavit made by this roommate was used in support of an arrest warrant petition, but was challenged on the basis of probable cause.
This affidavit did not specifically talk about how reliable this was, or any facts that relate to the reliability.
In Aguilar v. Texas, 378 U.S. 108, 84 S.Ct. 1509, 12 L.Ed.2d 723 (1964), the so-called "two-pronged test" of the reliability of an affidavit based upon hearsay information was established: (1) "the magistrate must be informed of some of the underlying circumstances from which the informant concluded that [the facts were as he stated them] and [(2)] some of the underlying circumstances from which the officer concluded that the informant . . . Was `credible' or his information `reliable.'" Id., 114. The affidavit in this case satisfies the first prong of this test because it discloses that the information furnished by the informant was based upon his personal observation. The defendant does not contend otherwise. His claim is that the affidavit contains no underlying facts justifying a conclusion that the informant was reliable in respect to his statement that the defendant and Kennedy had been in possession of recently stolen goods.
Although the affidavit does not contain the usual recital of past experience with the informant to support his reliability, there are sufficient other indicia. The police had verified the accuracy of the informant's detailed description of the property taken in the theft with the account later given by the complainant and by actually receiving from the informant at his apartment the two cigarette cartons which were identifiable by the numbers stamped on them and their contents.
So essentially it's enough that there are other indicia of reliability, rather than a recital of past experience with the informant.
Hope that clears things up a bit. If you have any other questions, please let me know. If not, and you have not yet, please select the "accept" button. If you have already clicked "accept", or if you will in the future, please let me know so I can track these for my own reports and customer satisfaction stats.

Bulldog junior golfer Bhavik Patel is in contention at the Sahalee Players Championship after the first day. Patel (70-68--138) shot a 6-under par round for 36 holes on Wednesday at the Sahalee Country Club Home Course in Du Pont, Wash. He's in third place, two shots behind leader Andrew Putman, a U.S Open qualifier, and five shots head of defending champion Nick Taylor, an All-American from Washington and the world's No. 1 ranked amateur.
Patel made nine birdies over the two rounds and played the Par 5 holes at 5-under par. He will be playing Thursday with Putnam and Peter Uihlein of Oklahoma State, who are at 136 and 137, respectively.
Last summer Patel reached the semi-final round of the U.S. Amateur championship in Tulsa, Okla.
Some notable past champions in the 17 years have included Trent Whitekiller, Daniel Summerhays, Kyle Stanley, Ryan Moore, Arron Oberholser, Jason Gore, and Casey Martin. The Home Course in DuPont, Washington will host this year's championship due to Sahalee Country Club hosting this summer's U.S. Senior Open. The Home Course is the Assisting Course for the 2010 U.S. Amateur this to be played at Chambers Bay in Tacoma, Wash.
The Pacific Northwest Golf Association joined with Sahalee Country Club 10 years ago to create the "Western Swing" with the PNGA Men's Amateur Championship. The Sahalee Players Championship is the first leg of the swing, with the PNGA Men's Amateur being played the week after.

Sophomore receiver's first love is basketball, but he made "business decision" to focus on football
Devin Aguilar admits, his heart beats basketball.
All things being equal, if he had a free day and a choice of a sport to play, he'd pick up a ball and start shooting hoops.
"It's my favorite," says the Washington sophomore receiver.
And for a while, he also thought it might be his future. He was an all-state point guard at Mullen High School in Denver, leading his team to the state title as a senior, fashioning his play after Steve Nash. "Because I like to pass and all that, but I could score when I want to," he said. "But I love to get my teammates involved, too."

"He was tough, scrappy," said Seattle University basketball coach Cameron Dollar, who saw Aguilar play in high school. "I love that kid."
Tough enough, he drew reported offers in basketball from Iowa State, Wichita State and Utah.
But his list of football offers, after he was an also all-state pick as a receiver, was a little lengthier — including Washington, Colorado, Arizona State and Kansas State.
A few schools, such as Washington, offered to let him do both — be a scholarship football player and a walk-on basketball player.
But Aguilar got the sense that whichever sport he accepted a scholarship in was the one where his future would ultimately rest.
"It was a long, long, long process [deciding which sport to pursue]," he said. "I didn't know for a long time what I wanted to do."
Eventually, he looked at the cold, hard facts — the football scholarship offers seemed to indicate that those who know figured he had a better future in that sport.
And finally, he made what he says plainly "was a business decision. I figured this would be the best outcome for me." One, he hopes, that may someday earn him some money.
Hard to argue his choice after what Huskies fans have seen the past two games. After missing two games with a knee injury, he caught 10 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in the past two.
Aguilar made seven catches for 154 yards, each career highs, Saturday at Arizona State. That was the most receiving yards for a UW receiver since Marcel Reece had 166 against Arizona in 2007. One catch came on a leaping, one-hander that showed that his passion hasn't waned on the football field.
"Jeez, two weeks in a row he has played fantastic," said UW coach Steve Sarkisian. "I thought he made some spectacular plays for us down the field. … He's got a great feel for the game. There are a lot of things that he does innately on the field that can really excite you."
Says offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier: "Devin is really starting to grow into the offense. Just as with quarterbacks at times, it's just about feeling comfortable. People I think don't realize at times how fractions of a second and inches are such a big part of this game when you talk about the rhythm of the passing game."
Nussmeier says Aguilar's basketball skills are evident at times on the football field.
"You watch some of the catches he made the other night, his ability to catch the ball outside his frame — that's what you get sometimes from basketball players, is the ability to catch balls outside the frame, to go up and get a ball because they are used to rebounding and tracking a moving ball," Nussmeier said.
While comfort on the field might finally be coming, comfort in Seattle has never been an issue.
While he grew up in Denver and was recruited by both Colorado and Colorado State, Aguilar never really considered either school, saying, "I just wanted to get away."
Once he did, there was no real question where he'd go. Aguilar had spent lots of time in the Seattle area while in high school, visiting relatives who had relocated to the Auburn area. Those relatives included an uncle, Kevin Turner, who is something of a father figure to Aguilar, raised by a single mom.
Aguilar also liked the fact that UW's football coaches held open the idea that he could walk on to the basketball team if he wanted.
Aguilar, who wasn't eligible for the 2007 football season while sorting out a test-score issue, thought about it after last season and was encouraged by UW's hoops coaches, who thought Aguilar could have legitimately helped the team.
"He would have been a walk-on at first, but eventually he would have seen action," says Dollar, who was an assistant at UW before taking the Seattle U. job.
But Aguilar said he came to another basketball crossroad after last season.
"It's always a thought of mine [to walk on]," says Aguilar, who counts UW point guard Isaiah Thomas among his good friends. "But I decided that I had to focus on the reason I'm here."
So for now, the sneakers are in the closet, Aguilar keeping his eyes on the prize.
"I say that all the time like, 'Man, I could play with these guys,' " Aguilar says of the basketball team. "But I have to have my mind on this page first."

Senate appropriators vote $10.23B for CBP
Customs and Border Protection would get slightly less under the Senate Appropriations Committee markup up of the annual Homeland Security Department spending bill than under the House of Representatives approved version.
Senate appropriators voted Sept. 7 on their version for the fiscal 2012 DHS spending bill, which would include $10.23 billion in direct appropriations for CBP--as opposed to the House, which voted on June 2 to for the amount of $10.34 billion. Fiscal 2011 ends on Sept. 30.
The largest difference between the two chambers lies in the Border Security Fencing, Infrastructure and Technology budget line, which the Senate would fund at $400 million and the House at $510 million--although both amounts are below the White House request of $527.62 million.
Senate appropriators, in the report accompanying the spending bill, write that DHS already has more than $440 million in unobligated balances for the account. They also criticize DHS for failing in two attempts to deploy border security technologies--the department canceled the most recent attempt, SBInet, in January.
Also among the areas of disagreement is salaries and expenses, for which the House gave the slightly higher amount of $8.77 billion, as opposed to $8.76 billion under the Senate Appropriations Committee markup. House appropriators write in their report that their amount is $556.89 million more than the fiscal 2011 amount, an increase chiefly due to pay raises and significant staffing increases.
The Senate version would ensure that 21,370 Border Patrol agents are employed throughout fiscal 2012, says the Senate report.

Silver Stars Top Sky in Chicago
Silver Stars @ Sky
June 28, 2011
All-State Arena // Chicago
1 2 3 4 F San Antonio Silver Stars (7-1) 15 19 19 31 84 Chicago Sky (4-5) 16 21 19 18 74
ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) - Sophia Young had 19 points to lead five San Antonio scorers in double figures as the Silver Stars improved to a league-leading 7-1 with an 84-74 victory over the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night.
Rookie forward Danielle Adams scored 16 points, Becky Hammon had 14, and Ruth Riley and Danielle Robinson added 10 each for the Silver Stars.
"Defensively our team got better as the game went on especially in the second half," Hammon said. "It was just a grind tonight. It wasn't a pretty game but we found a way win. I thought our post players did an exceptional job hitting big shots for us and just playing really good defense."
Epiphanny Prince scored 19 points and Sylvia Fowles had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Chicago (4-5), which has lost four of its last five. Erin Thorn added 14 points and Cathrine Kraayeveld added 10 for the Sky.
Fowles, who didn't score in the first quarter, was held below 20 points for the first time since finishing with 10 in the season opener against Indiana on June 4.
"When they sit on Syl that's when everybody else has open looks and then we get a couple in transition and that's when they start to pay attention to everyone else," Sky coach Pokey Chatman said. "We can always get her the ball more -- but the thing is you can't always get the ball on the wing and throw it to Syl because it's going to be five people there."
San Antonio trailed much of the game, but went ahead for good at 71-68 on Riley's 3 pointer with 3:29 left in regulation. San Antonio then made all 10 free throws in the final 1:05 to keep Chicago at bay.
The Sky led 37-34 at halftime as Fowles scored five consecutive points in the final 1:08. The Silver Stars shot only 35 percent (12 of 34) in the first 20 minutes.
"We aren't buckling down the way we need to," Kraayeveld said. "I don't know if we need to get mad, but we need to do something. We've got to just stick together. We have a good team here, so we've just got to come together and learn from this one and move."
The teams were even in the third quarter before San Antonio outscored Chicago 31-18 in the fourth. Riley scored all 10 of her points and Robinson had eight in the final period.
"You have to build your play with streaks and we got some stops," Silver Stars coach Dan Hughes said. "We had some timely shots. Our execution just got better at the right time of the game."
Jia Perkins scored just six points in her first game against her former team after an offseason trade sent her to San Antonio in exchange for Michelle Snow. Perkins averaged 23.7 points in the Silver Stars' previous three games.
Snow had three rebounds in the first half to become the 12th player in WNBA history to reach 2,000 for her career. She's the seventh player with 2,800 points, 2,000 rebounds and 300 blocks.

What type(s) / examples of attack could be used to compromise the public web server but would be blocked by the Web Service DAL? i.e. can you think of concrete attack types that the DAL stops?
Please note, I am interested only in the security aspect, not scaling / fault tolerance / performance / etc.
In my mind if the web server has been compromised using an attack over port 80/443, then the same attack would work over port 80/443 to the Web Service DAL box.

Because your baselayer is in constant contact with your skin, you'll probably want to keep it as clean as possible. An antimicrobial coating inhibits the growth of bacteria and lasts wash after wash. If you ever find yourself on the slopes without your snowpants on (sometimes things get cray cray), the 686 Therma Base Layer has you covered with UPF 30+. Brushed fleece backing feels like your wearing a cloud made of cuddly baby lambs for extended comfort and longer sessions. Don't fill your closet with an arsenal of baselayers, get the Therma Base Layer and fill your season with more days pow slashing.

The Reluctant Warrior
Bull, Chris, The Advocate (The national gay & lesbian newsmagazine)
The only openly gay Republican in Congress, Jim Kolbe prefers to work behind the scenes for gay rights
At the Republican national convention in Philadelphia in July, Jim Kolbe was given a coveted prime-time slot on the podium. The only openly gay GOP member of Congress used the rare opportunity to reach a national television audience to advocate for what has become his signature issue: free international trade.
The three-minute speech pleased almost no one. The party's antigay delegates held a silent prayer vigil on the convention floor to protest George W. Bush's decision to give a gay man a speaking slot, waving signs declaring THERE IS A WAY OUT. Gay activists complained that by addressing the convention, Kolbe condoned the antigay planks in the party's platform. Even gay Republican leaders, who consider Kolbe a hero and had lobbied hard for his selection, whispered among themselves that he had failed to work any references to gay rights into his remarks.
But for Kolbe, that was precisely the point. The chairman of a powerful House appropriations subcommittee, he has earned the respect of his colleagues for his strict devotion to the concerns of Arizona's fifth congressional district. "Frankly, I was surprised I was asked to speak," he said in an interview with The Advocate, his first since publicly identifying himself as gay in 1996. "It's nice that gay Republicans think of me as a leader, but Bush asked me to speak about trade, which is my area of expertise. I was not asked to speak about gay rights, and that's not something my district is particularly interested in hearing about."
Despite his growing national stature within the GOP and a substantial financial campaign chest, Kolbe may have good reason to be worried about voters closer to home. The eight-term congressman faces a tough campaign against a well-financed foe, George Cunningham, in an increasingly Democratic district that encompasses Tucson and rural areas around it.
"There are very few people who will say anything negative [about my orientation], but we know from our polls there are some older conservative men who will express it when they go to the polls," Kolbe says. "One percent here or there can make the difference. It doesn't help that Bush is doing more poorly in Arizona than expected, which will keep Republican voters at home."
Kolbe may be overestimating the threat of antigay votes in his district, says Peter Goudinoff, a professor of political science at the University of Arizona who served with Kolbe in the state legislature. "There is a rural population that is Mormon and traditionally very conservative," he says. "The fear is that someone could mobilize a homophobic vote. But I don't see that materializing. His Democratic opponent knows it would blow up in his face if he played that card. In essence, I don't see sexual orientation as a factor at all."
The fear of inspiring an antigay backlash makes Kolbe especially cautious when addressing gay issues. Over the past two years Kolbe, through his aides, has turned down numerous interview requests from The Advocate. Kolbe's chief of staff, Fran McNaught, said earlier this year that if it were up to her, Kolbe would "never" grant an interview to this magazine. Reached at home in late September, Kolbe finally agreed to talk, commenting that his staff had advised him against it.
Kolbe is a reluctant torchbearer when it comes to gay issues. Some of his reluctance stems from an aversion to talking about his personal life, but some of it comes as a result of the opposition he faces from his own party. "In some ways the Republicans have not come as far as the Democrats," Kolbe admits. "But I think we do better in treating gay people as individuals rather than as members of special interest groups that need special treatment."
That stance often puts Kolbe in an awkward position when it comes to aggressively lobbying his House colleagues on hate-crimes legislation and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would ban antigay bias in the workplace. …
