We interrupt this holiday break…
Over at DodgerThoughts, Jon Weisman offers an incredible look at Dodger blogging through the years and it's fascinating to see the way the blogosphere has evolved this decade when it comes to our favorite team. It's hard to believe ITD was the 19th blog on the scene, according to Jon's list, but far more incredible to think that 26 others have popped up in cyberspace in the four years that this site has been live.
Quite obviously, this blog is different from all the rest…it's unabashedly pro-Dodgers because it's written by people who work in the front office and we have an added benefit of seeing the inner workings of the organization. But the truth is, it's no better than the rest of the sites out there, all of which are run by Dodger fans who have second (some would say "real") jobs. Each provides a view of the team from a different perspective and every one of them has the potential of a global readership, which is a huge reason why the Dodgers became the first big league team this year to extend media credentials to some of the bloggers who cover the team.
Over the next decade, I have little doubt that many sites out there will become profitable ventures for the people who run them and even more valuable resources for information about the team. They'll also change in the way in which they create a place for fans to gather, which is really what this is all about.
So from one of the humble hosts of ITD and behalf of all of us at the organization, Happy New Year and Happy New Decade (by the way, fellow blogger Tony Jackson had a great piece on ESPNLosAngeles.com about the Top 10 Dodgers of the decade). I'll probably put up one last post on Thursday recapping the 2009 season, much like we did for 2008.

Thanks to all of you for the great blog. It's a daily destination for me. Best to all the front office staff for keeping us fantatics up to date with so much of the inside scoop. It's much appreciated!
48 days until pitchers and catchers report…not that I'm counting or anything.
Josh – thank you for the new thread.
Wow!!! This Ethieraholic is very impressed to see Andre on that list of Tony Jackson's. He worked so hard at proving he belonged in that lineup, and it is wonderful, once again, to see him get recognized for his accomplishments to date. I have no doubts that he will be a major contribution for years to come, and let's hope it's with the Dodgers.
I am also glad to see Shaun Green and Adrian Beltre on that list.
I am also glad to see Andre and Shaun on the list. I think they are very similar in their play and mannerisms. Both are very popular with men, women and children.
By the way….the new ESPN LA is very good. It only carries Los Angeles teams.
And thanks to you, Josh, for your support of Dodger bloggers over the past few years! It means a lot.
With the Gnats signing DeRosa and Uribe the division is settling into bit parts. Have a feeling Ned is working Garland or Padilla.

Every time we sneeze, some of our brain cells die…..let's hope Frank and Ned are sneeze free! 🙂
So does that mean if you have allergies that you'll end up blowing your brains out?
LOL, Enchanted. I have had severe allergy problems all winter…I must be brain dead by now!
When it comes to baseball smarts and decisions, Frank and Ned lost their quota many Gesundheits ago!!! Now they only fart and get their spinmeisters to acclaim how rosy everything smells for what they're doing.
Banging your head against the wall can burn up to 150 calories per hour 🙂
LMAO, Enchanted!!!
LMAO, Bear!
Classic, Enchanted! lol One of my all time favorite movies!!!
Wonder with Jason Bay signing with the Mets if the Sox would like Manny back…
Potential 5 year, $80million….Bay isn't worth it!
Coming this spring to a ballpark near you…
If you were thrilled by the Towering Inferno…
If you were terrified by Earthquake…
Then you?ll be SCAREDSHITLESS! by the NedCo production of
Starring Ned Flanders as Dodger?s GM Ned Colletti: Hideliho Frank! Thanks for the extension!! Watch as Ned makes his play for every dead arm and washed-up hurler available to fill the 2010 rotation: Hello in there-there-there-there-there…
Also starring Woody Allen as Frank McCourt, the ineffectual team owner: You know, I just can?t ever seem to get enough hotdogs at the park. I think I get that from my counsin's aunt?s sister. Someone go tell that Mannion fella to order us up some more concession stands.
Co-starring Leona Helmsley as estranged co-owner Jamie McCourt: $480,000 a month doesn?t seem, you know, a little weird when I?m the one getting it.
A NedCo production 4 years in the making… THAT?S ARMANEDDON.
Rated B barf. No one admitted under 12 without a note from their mother.
Josh, thanks so much for the new threads and all the information. I don't read the other blogs unless you or someone else points out something of interest. One blog is way too much for me and besides, I cannot imagine the other blogs being so funny. I like the fact that most of the ITD regulars are passionate Dodger fans but also quite creative and downright funny. But since I sneeze alot myself, it is amazing I can function at all.
But it is a good day anyway because UCLA won its bowl game!
The average human body hold enough fat to make 7 bars of soap.
"I got a nice vibe playing there," he (DeRosa) said. "Staying at the Westin St. Francis, going out to lunch in the city, walking to the ballpark and the restaurants. Everything about it, I felt like it would be a cool place to play and an interesting place to bring my family."
Come on, Mark. How does that compare to……….arriving by train at L.A.'s historic Union Station, a walk to Olvera Street to pound a few zillion taquitos, a brisk half-hour stroll through China Town, across the pedestrian bridge, over the Harbor Freeway, up Chavez Ravine, and presto! You're at the stadium!!!!! How convenient is THAT for you and your family?!
enchanted, is NedCo a publicly-owned corporation? If so, I'd like to buy a few shares as gift certificates. But you'll need to cast Joe. And what a publicity home run you'll hit when NedCo casts none other than Jamie McCourt herself to play the part of our beloved manager. Make-up goes a long way.
Funny stuff today ITD writers!!!
The NedCo?, �NedCo and NedCo� brands are registered trademarks of the Ned Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of FrankCo.
All attempts and appeals at reaching FrankCo on any level have failed.
And after 12,459 days, the Generalisimo is still dead.
Thanks for the new thread! I know you said the offices are closed but you are till working starting new threads! Thanks Josh! BTW, I heard the poster of Matt Kemp at Union Station has been replaced 😦 I hope in April it gets replaced with new posters.
Happy 74th birthday to Sandy Koufax!!!!!
I put some black and white pictures of Sandy in my blog wishing him a happy birthday.
Yesterday I was in Duarte a little late and as I was driving back home, I was passing one of the places where they are working on floats. I was remembering my trips back and forth working on the Dodger float. How my friend Erik and I went back on the 31st because it looked like a lot of work still needed to be done. Ahhh, nice memories of working on the float with Dodger fan friends.
Its only a rumor right now D4 – kinda like NedCo? "pursuing" Halladay. It seems that the Halladay rumor was actually a misstatement. In truth, Ned was merely "following" Halladay down the hotel hallway when returning to his room one evening.
NedCo? deeply regrets the misuse of this transitive verb and hopes by its [in]actions that it didn't give rise to any expectations of obtaining a real pitcher.
Khali your recent post left me both hungry for taquitos and tired from the treck to ahieve them, albiet only in my mind.
Enchanted is there any truth to the rumor that NedCo Productions will be teaming with Pillsbury Pictures to produce, Driving Miss Jamie….
NedCo? would like to nip the current rumor in the bud regarding "Driving Miss Jamie", and issues this statement: "In no way will this film ever be made due to the fact that we already got rid of the Hudson."
However NedCo pictures has signed Carroll Channing??
NedCo Productions – My mistake
Carroll has been signed and will split time with Amanda Blake at second and Susan Blakely at third. NedCo? wishes to express that it feels we found a real [Hello] Dolly here.
LMAO!!!!! I can see you are doing well enchanted.
I guess all that is left is…. who has been signed to do the motion picture soundtrack and when will that be released?
LOS ANGELES (AP) – NedCo? went on record today saying it was "intrigued" about the possibility of acquiring Dolly Parton to play 2B for the upcoming 2010 season citing "we see how she can still turn two big ones." "Teaming Dollywood and Mannywood is just a natural" (or a manmade in both cases.) "We don't feel her age is a factor, and don't expect she'll have any problems filling out her role." "With Halladay, Lee and Bay getting away, we don't want to look like a bunch of boobs over here" said Ned Colletti himself. "We really think with Dolly in there, our line-up would be stacked, at least at the top."
One unexpected issue has arisen in that Dolly would only be available for day games because she's a "9 to 5″ gal.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – In a related story of one upsmanship, BrianCo� annouced today its intention to sign Pamela Anderson, then proclaimed its line-up would be stacked from top to bottomless."
Rim shot!
I can't wait to see Dolly run the bases 🙂 Pamela, I'm afraid would topple over and fall down!
The Dolly bobblehead would be something to behold 🙂
NedCo? would like to announce that Vicente Padilla will play the role of Auntie Maimed in its upcoming tribute to the NRA.
Birk!!! 🙂
Ascics will be the proud sponsor of both Dolly and Pamela and has plans to flood the market with the new and improved Gel-Nimbus.
LMAO!!!!!!!!! Fantastic timing lbirken!!!
Not to mention their spinoff line Air[eola] Parton's and Anderson's D4.
Glad to be of service, but truth be told I owed E from quite some time ago.
You know ITDFST is 35/36 minutes ahead of pst?
That is true lbirken. I remember enchanted asking for that several nights ago 🙂
A Tiger Woods movie is imminent, with Cuba Gooding Jr. being mentioned in the lead role. It would be an utter shame if NedCo is aced out of producing this potential movie blockbuster. I mean, who is better at spinning reality than NedCo? But NedCo needs to move QUICK! They'll need a sleazy screen play AND a semi-qualified actor and actress to play Tiger and Elin. enchanted, sign Dolly Parton NOW! With any creativity, she could play ALL of the several hundred mistresses. But that still leaves Tiger and Elin uncast. Damn, if only Don Knotts or Phil Silvers was still alive….
TMZ is reporting that NedCo is close to signing a deal with Club mans…..only seems fitting since this season seems to be hinging around Beeswax and Vaseline.
So it is true about the rumor that Tiger will not be starring in the military's next training video, "How to Drive a Jeep"?
NedCo? announces its intention to sign Gary Coleman and Erika Eleniak to co-star in its upcoming semi-biographical account of the Tiger Woods story in Diff'rent Strokes II. We feel Gary as Tiger is a natural: What you talkin' about Elin?
A NedCo? spokesman said, "He hasn't had a real gig in years, so he'll sign for next to nothing and even be willing to defer that out."
Eleniak too hasn't had many roles since Under Siege – A look into the McCourt Ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
great news, enchanted! Man, NedCo works fast!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO!!!!!! I don't have much to say, but the reading sure is fun!!!!
Nellyjune ~ I am speechless too 🙂
Enchanted gives new meaning to "The Fast and The Furious"!
Too Funny….BRAVO!!!
When it comes to the blog….You are litterally ahead of your time enchanted….
Maybe I should have said……….. BRAVISIMO!!!! E
On this blog we are all ahead of our time!
LOL, Dodger4life and lbirken!
Now, THAT lbirken is so very true!
We haven't heard a peep out of enchanted since…according to ITDFST time 4:31…..Makes ya say Hmmmm……
Tommorrow is the 13th new moon of the year, since we have been known to carry 13 pitchers…..Maybe NedCo is working on their [Once in a Blue Moon Plan]….. I Look for them to strike at midnight!!!
So, you think he may have a few songs to finish out the 2009 year?
Speaking of………………… Dodgereric!!! If you are out there somewhere later on tonight (LOL!!!). I need a Dodger Lyrics count for a project I am working on. If not, I will figure it out myself. I have my ways to figure things out too :)))
Dodger4life, is that standard time or ITD time?
It may depend on where they are striking from Birk….Still formulating that guess.
It will be reported here in ITDFST time when the news breaks…stay tuned….
Nevermind Dodgereric!!!! I found what I was looking for with D4's help 🙂
Hmmmm…..Enchanted is still MIA?
I pose these questions in the form of multiple choice.
A) It is dinner time in the sunset household
B) he is enjoying the enchanted sunset where ever he may be
C) He is on a Tequila run
D) The ITD buzzer sounded meaning it is half time
E) He is currently conducting contract negotiations for NedCo, regarding the above mention actresses
F) All of the above
I'm going to say a, b and c…..combined
I am going for all of the above 🙂
As for individual posts, there were soooo many memorable ones to choose from, I couldn't narrow them down enough to make it feasable to post all of them. Some of the posts were just as LOL funny and, in some cases, just heartfelt and touching as they were back then so it caused me to slow down the process of getting it done because I was reading and reminiscing versus skimming and recording.
I broke it down by months to make it easier to post in segments. I will try my best to get the entire year posted throughout the next two/three days. Thanks for another incredible year of ITD fun. This blog is so very enjoyable, whether you are one of the serious ones, one of the creative ones, one of the love-my-dodgers-no-matter-what ones, and all of the ones in between, including the ones that have all of the forementioned within them (which I attribute to most of you here BTW). We are a very unique and one-of-a-kind blog, and if you don't think so, just take a look on dodgerlyrics and the 580 songs/poems that have been written thus far. That pretty much says it all. Take Care and have a Happy New Year. Best Wishes for a fabulous 2010.

Already messed up! I missed copying the first paragraph – sorry ITD readers and writers. Here you go …………..
I was thinking of a way to end this ITD Year, and I thought since we are a pretty entertaining blog IMO, I thought it would be fun to take a stroll down ITD Memory Lane, as many in our entertainment industry do (including MLB). So, I came up with a 2009 ITD Year in Review. Feel free to add things that I may have missed (never intentional by any means).
Thanks Nellyjune……lots of fun to read and remember. I still LOL when we all surprised Enchanted with the vast array of "paperbags"!
Good Morning All………..
Nelly wonderful post and idea, I look forward to reminiscing through the rest of the year!!
I would like to thank everyone who comes on here and lends there two cents, it makes the day a little more enjoyable. I would also like to thank Josh, Mark and Scott for their efforts along the way, your leadership is much appreciated! last but not least by any means I would like to thank the Boy's on the field for the Blue in 2009. You have given us much, much enjoyment….We love what you do, We love the Blue, and we will see this quest through….2010 is our year…end to end again!!!
Have A Happy and Safe New Years Eve Everyone!!…And May 2010 Bring You All Your Heart Desires…..
Thanks Again and GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why thank you Tru and Dodger4life!!
Here comes February 2009 in the next post. This is probably one of my favorite months of the year where I really stopped to reminicse. Probably because of our continued plight to make sure Andre was treated right during his arbitration. We did that without knowing how much of a knockout season he would have because his true fans knew he would be that good. Then there is the whole Monson/Nelson connection that happened. Well, the connection started a while before February 14th and involved my classroom, but it's that day when our kids decided to make the connection even more so. I believe life (God) purposely puts twists and turns in your life, and this was/is definitely one of them, and what a wonderful turn it has been so far. I write this as Matt is sitting in my house right now spending time with Mariya, and Eric and Chris are getting ready to head up here to the valley to spend New Years with us. I have the Dodgers to thank for putting these wonderful people in my life, and those of you who have met them know exactly what I am talking about. More twists and turns to come in the upcoming months, but this was the first stop of many involving this wonderful group of ITD faithfuls.
Key Dodger News that sent ITD into a frenzy because of pure joy or pure frustration

very nice Nelly…Happy New Year to all at ITD. May 2010 be better than 2009..A very rough year indeed personally!!!
Nellyjune ~ can't wait for March!
Good afternoon ITD boys and girls!
Sorry I didn't get a chance to post before Christmas, but I hope that all that do celebrate, I hope and pray that your Christmas went well and that Santa was good to everyone! Is Jhall still traveling, or are you home now?
Nice list Nelly! I forgot about me refusing to call "you-know-who" by his real name!
Hey, guess what? My husband, my mom and I will be going to Camelback for a few days!!! Not sure exactly when we are leaving, but it'll be around March 20, 21. Can't stay too long, but we'll be there for a few days! Can't wait!
I can't stay too long, but maybe I can for about 30 minutes. So how are my ITD friends today?
Oh yeah, Happy New Years to everyone!!! Stay safe!!!
Have a safe and healthy New Year, everyone! Thanks for a great year of stimulating discussions, silly songs and tons of laughs.
I saw that one too Kahli. Did you like Torre's cameo appearance as the dinosaur?
Safe and Happy Ney Years everyone!!
Or "New" as the say in English.
Yes, Happy New Year, y'all. Watched a Twilight Zone where the airliner couldn't land because it was 22 years in the past. Hell, that would put us in 1988 and a World Championship. Now boarding!!!!!!
enchanted, didn't notice it was Torre because there was no prehistoric rail for the brontosaurus to lean on……?!?!?!?

Herbs and Supplements to Avoid
Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, disabling brain disease. People with schizophrenia often suffer terrifying symptoms, such as hearing internal voices not heard by others, or believing that other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. These symptoms may leave them fearful and withdrawn. Their speech and behavior can be so disorganized that they may be incomprehensible or frightening to others. Schizophrenia increases a person's risk of suicide, self-mutilation, substance abuse, and other social problems such as unemployment, homelessness, and incarceration.
Schizophrenia is found all over the world. The severity of the symptoms and the long-lasting, chronic pattern of schizophrenia often cause a high degree of disability. Approximately 1% of the population develops this condition during their lifetime; more than 2 million Americans suffer from the illness in a given year. Although schizophrenia affects men and women with equal frequency, the disorder often appears earlier in men. Men are usually affected in their late teens or early twenties, while women are generally affected in their twenties to early thirties.
Researchers aren't sure what causes schizophrenia. Problems with brain structure and chemistry are thought to play a role. There appears to be a strong genetic component, but some researchers believe that environmental factors may contribute. They theorize that a viral infection in infancy and/or extreme stress may trigger schizophrenia in people who are predisposed to it.
Conventional drug treatment for schizophrenia is moderately effective. While it seldom produces a true cure, it can enable a person with schizophrenia to function in society.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Untreated schizophrenia is a very dangerous disease for which there is effective treatment, and for this reason it is not ethical to perform studies that compare a hypothetical new treatment against placebo. Therefore, studies of natural treatments for schizophrenia have looked at their potential benefit for enhancing the effects of standard treatment (or minimizing its side effects). No natural treatments have been studied as sole therapy for schizophrenia.
Up until recently, all common medications used for schizophrenia fell into a class called phenothiazines . These drugs are most effective for the "positive" symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations and delusions. (Such symptoms are called "positive" because they indicate the presence of abnormal mental functions, rather than the absence of normal mental functions.) In general, however, these medications are less helpful for the "negative" symptoms of schizophrenia, such as apathy, depression, and social withdrawal.
The supplement glycine might be of benefit here. A clinical trial enrolled 22 participants who continued to experience negative symptoms of schizophrenia despite standard therapy. 1 In this double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, volunteers were randomly assigned to receive either 0.8 g of glycine per kg of body weight (about 60 g per day) or placebo for 6 weeks, along with their regular medications. The groups were then switched after a 2-week "wash-out" period during which they all received placebo.
Significant improvements (about 30%) in symptoms such as depression and apathy were seen with glycine when compared to placebo. Additionally, glycine appeared to reduce some of the side effects caused by the prescription drugs. Furthermore, the benefits apparently continued for another 8 weeks after glycine was discontinued.
No changes were seen in positive symptoms (for instance, hallucinations), but it isn't possible to tell whether that is because these symptoms were already being controlled by prescription medications or whether glycine simply has no effect on that aspect of schizophrenia.
Four other small double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of glycine together with standard drugs for schizophrenia (including the newer drugs olanzapine and risperidone) also found it to be helpful for negative symptoms. 1-4
However, one small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (19 participants) suggests that adding glycine to the drug clozapine may not be a good idea. 5 In this study, glycine was found to reduce the benefits of clozapine without helping to relieve the participants' negative symptoms. Lack of benefit, although no actual harm, was seen in two other double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of glycine and clozapine. 6,37 Another recent study not specifically limited to clozapine also failed to find benefit with glycine. 43
Curiously, a natural substance (sarcosine) that blocks the action of glycine has also shown promise for schizophrenia. 34
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Glycine article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Numerous other natural therapies have shown promise for aiding various aspects of treatment for schizophrenia, but, in most cases, the current supporting evidence is weak at best.
Enhancing Drug Action
For a number of theoretical reasons, it has been suggested that fish oil and its constituents (especially a slightly modified constituent called ethyl-EPA) might enhance the effectiveness of standard drugs used for schizophrenia; however, current evidence for benefit remains incomplete and inconsistent. 35,42
A small 6-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the potential effectiveness of the supplement dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) taken at a dose of 100 mg daily for enhancing the effectiveness of drug treatment for schizophrenia. 33 The results indicated that use of DHEA led to improvement in various symptoms, especially negative symptoms. However, in another double-blind, placebo-controlled study, use of DHEA provided minimal benefits if any. 40
Preliminary evidence suggests that ginkgo7,8 , the amino acid D-serine, 9 and N-acetyl cysteine44 may also enhance the effectiveness of various antipsychotic drugs.
Tardive Dyskinesia
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a potentially permanent side effect of drugs used to control schizophrenia and other psychoses. This late-developing (tardy, or tardive) complication consists of annoying, mostly uncontrollable movements (dyskinesias). Typical symptoms include repetitive sucking or blinking, slow twisting of the hands, or other movements of the face and limbs. TD can cause tremendous social embarrassment.
Several natural treatments have shown promise for preventing or treating TD. For more information, see the Tardive Dyskinesia article.
Other Drug Side Effects
Vitamin B6 might also reduce symptoms of akathesia, a type of restlessness associated with phenothiazine antipsychotics. 38
One small double-blind study found that use of DHEA reduced the Parkinson-like movement disorders that may occur in people taking phenothiazine drugs. 39
According to studies performed in China, the herb ginkgo may reduce various side effects caused by drugs used to treat schizophrenia. 7,13
Preliminary studies suggest that phenothiazine drugs might deplete the body of coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 ) . 13,14 While there is as yet no evidence that taking this supplement provides any specific benefit for people using phenothiazines, supplementing with CoQ 10 might be a good idea on general principles.
The herb milk thistle might protect against the liver toxicity sometimes caused by phenothiazine drugs. 15
Other Options
Preliminary evidence suggests that a special form of magnet therapy called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may be useful for schizophrenia. 16,17,45 However, not all studies have found benefits above the placebo effect; 36 rTMS is not yet available outside a research setting. See rTMS article for more details.
A study of 19 people with schizophrenia who had disturbed sleep patterns found that 2 mg of controlled-release melatonin improved sleep. 18
One small study failed to find the supplement creatine helpful for schizophrenia. 41
High doses of various vitamins, including folate , vitamin A , vitamin B 1 , vitamin B 3 (niacin) , vitamin B 6 , vitamin B 12 , vitamin C , and vitamin E have been suggested for the treatment of schizophrenia, but the evidence that they offer any real benefit remains incomplete and contradictory at best. 19-26
One trial of 81 adolescents and young adults (considered at very high risk for psychotic disorder) found that daily omega-3 fatty acid (fish oil) supplements for 12 weeks delayed the onset of a full blown schizophrenic episode. 46 An interesting result, but larger trials are necessary before fish oil supplementation can be recommended for patients at risk for shcixophrenia.
Yoga has also been studied for schozophrenia. In one small trial, patients who supplemented their regular treatment with a a yoga program lasting 4 months had improved symptoms, were able to function better, and reported a better quality of life compared to those who did physical therapy. 47 In a review of 8 randomized trials with 457 people, schizophrenia symptoms were modestly reduced in people who participated in yoga compared to usual care. Overall, the studies had several biases (like small groups or missing results), which affect outcomes. Though yoga as a treatment may show promise, there was no conclusive evidence that it is helpful for everyone.51
A review of 8 randomized trials involving 483 people with schizophrenia found that music therapy along with standard care helped to improve various measures of their mental state more than standard care alone. 48 These results, however, varied considerably across different studies depending on the quality and number of music therapy sessions. In another randomized trial of 80 patients residing in a psychiatric nursing home, group music therapy in addition to standard care successfully reduced psychotic symptoms and depression compared to standard care alone. Results were similar after 3 months. 50
A review of 30 randomized trials found that acupuncture in combination with regular dose drug treatments may improve mental state, reduce insomnia, and decrease the number of hospital stays in people with schizophrenia. The trials compared different forms of acupuncture plus antipyshcotic medication to antipsychotic medication alone. 49
Herbs and Supplements to Avoid
There are some indications that using the supplement phenylalanine while taking antipsychotic drugs might increase the risk of developing tardive dyskinesia. 27,28
Antipsychotic drugs can cause dystonic reactions—sudden intense movements, and prolonged muscle contraction of the neck and eyes. There is some evidence that the herb kava can increase the risk or severity of this side effect. 29
Phenothiazine drugs can cause increased sensitivity to the sun. Various herbs, including St. John's wort and dong quai , can also cause this problem. Combined treatment with herb and drug might increase the risk further.
St. John's wort might also interact adversely with the newer antipsychotic drugs in the clozapine family. If you take one of these drugs and then start taking St. John's wort, your blood levels of the drug may fall. However, if you are already taking both the herb and the drug, and then you stop St. John's wort, the level of drug in your body could reach the toxic point.
The supplement chromium is often sold in the form chromium picolinate . Because picolinate can alter levels of various neurotransmitters (substances that the brain uses to function), there are theoretical concerns that it could cause problems for people with schizophrenia. 30,31
The herb yohimbe is relatively toxic and can cause problems if used incorrectly. Phenothiazine medications may increase the risk of this toxicity. 32

John Harbaugh and Dean Pees have never hesitated to praise linebackers coach Ted Monachino, both expressing confidence recently that he's ready to run an NFL defense.
Although Monachino has been repeatedly linked to the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator vacancy, the NFC East franchise has yet to contact him to set up an interview. And he's not necessarily expecting them to make contact after the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Under new coach Chip Kelly, the Eagles have interviewed Cleveland Browns linebackers coach Billy Davis and are apparently interested in San Francisco 49ers secondary coach Ed Donatell.
"It is flattering," Monachino said. "I'm really excited that's out there, but right now the story doesn't have any legs. I don't expect it to. I don't know anyone in Philadelphia.
"I know they haven't contacted anyone on our club. It is exciting to have your name out there for an opportunity like that, but right now our sole focus is all on Sunday."
Monachino is enjoying his current responsibilities since being promoted to linebackers coach from outside linebackers coach last February.
He's in charge of overseeing everyone from Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs, whom he also coached at Arizona State, to Dannell Ellerbe and Paul Kruger, working in tandem with inside linebackers coach Don "Wink" Martindale.
"The best thing about this group is the diversity in the group, having young guys who understand how important it is to be good followers and veterans who understand what it means to be good leaders," Monachino said. "It's been a blast. You learn just as much from them maybe more than they ever learn form you The job 'Wink' has done with the inside guys is over the top."
The emergence of Ellerbe as a three-down linebacker in his fourth NFL season has been a major development for the defense.
The pending unrestricted free agent is shaping up as a must-sign for the Ravens after recording a career-high 89 tackles and 4 1/2 sacks while also battling ankle, toe, thumb and back injuries.
"It's hard to find guys who have enough talent to do everything that you need, to do it on all three downs," Monachino said. "Dannell has always had it. What he's done to really change himself is he's become so much of a better pro than he was as a young guy.
"That's a normal evolution of the game. From study to sleep to diet to training in the offseson to studying on his own, he's really ramped up his game. He's a special athlete that is becoming a special footbal player."

Recipe File: Buttercream Frosting (American)
Article Digest:
Although, essentially just butter, sugar, and egg, there are many ways to prepare buttercream. Italian buttercream begins with a simple syrup heated to the soft-ball stage and then whipped into an egg white foam before adding butter. A French buttercream is prepared by whipping a solution of heated egg yolks and sugar into a thick foam followed by the incorporation of butter. This recipe is one of many recipes that can be considered American buttercream.
To prepare enough buttercream to frost a two layer 9-in. round cake (or a three layer 8-in. round cake), you'll need one pound (450 g) unsalted butter, four large eggs, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) table salt, and 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract.
Start by cracking all four eggs into the metal bowl of a stand mixer. Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Whisk until the eggs, sugar, and extract are evenly combined.
Find a pot that the mixing bowl can sit on without touching the bottom of the pan. Pour about 1/2-in. (about 1 cm) water into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and place the mixing bowl over the water pot to form a double boiler. This will allow us to heat the eggs slowly, minimizing the chances that the egg proteins will tighten up (forming scrambled eggs). Whisk continuously over the steaming water until the eggs reach 160°F as measured by an instant read thermometer.
Once the mixture reaches 160°F, take it off the heat and beat on medium-high with the flat beater attachment for five minutes. The egg mixture will turn light yellow and fluffy. The mixture should have cooled by this time. Touch the side of the mixing bowl to check the temperature. If the mixture is too warm, it will melt the butter while you add it and the buttercream might not come together.
Reduce the mixer's speed to low and begin cutting pieces of butter into the mixer, waiting for ten to fifteen seconds before adding the next piece. One pound of butter should be cut into about 16 to 20 pieces (about 2 Tbs. per piece). During this process, the mixture will become lumpy, but don't worry about it, continue to cut pieces of butter into the mix until all the butter has been incorporated.
After all the butter has mixed in, continue to run the mixer until the mixture turns smooth and silky.
The final buttercream should be easy to spread onto the cake and should taste distinctly of sweet butter without any lumps or grittiness.

I had some trouble with this last weekend when I made a batch of buttercream in the San Francisco Bay Area, refrigerated it, and brought it up to Lake Tahoe (an alpine lake at the California and Nevada border) to frost a birthday cake I would make up there. Typically, buttercream refrigerates well - only requiring a return to room temperature and brief beating with the flat beater to return to a smooth, silky, and spreadable consistency. This time, however, parts of the buttercream never softened up and after a bit of beating with the stand mixer, the buttercream began to weep what seemed to be a mixture of simple syrup and egg. I gave up on that batch of buttercream and made another batch. This batch never came together as smoothly as buttercream should. The buttercream had a tendency to slip and slide over itself as I worked with it. Because of this, it was very difficult to produce a uniform surface on the final cake, and I ended up sprinkling chocolate shavings over the surface to mask the imperfect frosting. Those who ate the cake loved the frosting, so the taste and final texture were pleasing to the mouth - but the buttercream was very difficult to work with.
I still don't know the reason why this happened - but it could be a combination of the high altitude (over 6000 ft. above sea level) and fairly warm temperature in the house (a bit above 75°F). I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has trouble with this buttercream - especially since it always comes together perfectly when I'm at home. Even if the buttercream comes together funny (like it did for my in Tahoe), I guarantee the taste will be great.

If you've got weepy buttercream, it will normally come back if you just keep on mixing and add a bit of heat. Remember that if you beat butter enough, it can be soft while still being cold. Coming right of a refrigerator, I break it up into a Kitchen Aid bowl, dunk the bowl in hot water to melt a bit of it, and start beating slowly. It normally takes another dunk or two, and then I warm the bottom and sides of the bowl with my hands while the mixer is on. Then just beat until it's ready.
If you're getting pieces that don't incorporate, it's probably too cold.
Buttercream is a lot like chocolate in that you're completely on its time--trying to rush it before it's ready doesn't really pays off. I've never had buttercream that didn't come back with the right amount of heat and mixing (assuming it was made right in the first place, no broken meringue), even with lots of excess water from fruits and purees, so stay with it!

Post subject: American Buttercream
Just so you know, the above recipe is totally WRONG. I graduated from culinary school so I know how to make buttercream. First off, buttercream frosting NEVER contains egg yolks. The intro at the beginning mentions French buttercream being a heated mixture of yolks and sugar, and I have seen a few recipes calling for whole eggs, but that isn't traditional. Buttercream is defined by the type of meringue used to make it. There are three types of meringue (egg white) buttercreams -- Italian where a simple syrup is beaten into the whites -- the most stable buttercream, Swiss where whites and sugar are heated together which is mid-level stable, and French where no heat is applied and egg whites are whipped up with the sugar and butter is just added in. French is the least stable variety and is considered raw as far as the eggs go. Now I have seen some French buttercream recipes that called for whole eggs, but this wasn't what they taught us in school, so I'm sticking to the above information, since I know it works every time. For frosting, I recommend the Swiss or Italian version since they are more stable and will hold their shape on the cake longer. They are also safer from a health standpoint.

Post subject: Buttercream frosting has eggs?
I do not claim to be an expert...but buttercream frosting has been a family favorite for years. Mom & I have since given up on using a recipe but I believe our method originated from either the Better Crocker cookbook or Better Homes and Gardens...one of those standards. Anyway, our recipe has always been simply powdered (confectioner's) sugar, butter (I believe 2:1 sugar to butter but it's been a while) and enough vanilla (or other flavoring) and milk to make it a nice frosting consistancy. Neither Mom nor I has ever heated nor added eggs to the recipe...nor have a seen a buttercream frosting recipe that requires it...odd...

Usually when people buy cakes with a buttercream frosting serve it at a party, all the plates left over have lumps of buttercream pushed to one side because no one wants to eat it. I am always surprised to find that no one leaves buttercream on the plate from one of my cakes and I routinely get compliments about the flavor and consistency of this buttercream. Give it a try, if it doesn't taste good to you, let us know and tell us what you dislike - I've got more buttercream recipes that yeild different flavors and textures.

spacial_k sounded so certain that I did a sanity check and looked up several buttercream recipes - this time from culinary school texts - and I stand by the statements I made in this article.

I'm in a pastry course at culinary school now (just got home from my pastry mid-term) and our most commonly used buttercream is a whole egg mixture like above except:
sugar and water (4:1) are brought to soft ball stage
whole eggs are whipped to ribbon stage
sugar mixture is drizzled into the eggs (down the side of the bowl while mixer is running) which cooks the eggs
mixture is kept moving while it cools (we've been using an ice-bath under the 20qt mixer to cool it more quickly)
chunked butter is added
Proceed as above.
Having hated cake frostings my whole life, I can honestly say that I enjoy this frosting. It's not too sweet, nor too buttery.

Post subject: Too buttery?
Umm, buttercream is supposed to taste buttery. That's they joy of it! Don't eat real buttercream and expect it to taste like the frostings from cheaper bakeries that taste of only shortening and sugar. Real buttercream tastes buttery and not too sweet. Another problem is overapplication- I find that a relatively thin layer of buttercream suffices b/c it's so rich.

If you think buttercreams are never made with yolks only, you apparently didn't learn much about buttercreams in culinary school. Just do the teeniest, tiniest little bit of research, and you'll see that French buttercream is made with yolks. Also, as a general piece of advice, its a good idea to check your facts before you accuse someone of getting them wrong - otherwise you make yourself look foolish.

Post subject: Buttercream question
I love buttercream but I stopped making it more than 10 years ago with my fear of salmonella. There are just too many children and grandparents around when we have cake. So the question. Can you make a decent buttercream with powdered egg whites (meringue powder)?

This buttercream recipe cooks the eggs - salmonella risk is greatly reduced.

As Michael says, the eggs in this recipe are pasteurized (bringing the eggs to 160F for 15 seconds reduced the number of microbes to like 0.0001 of that originally present). However, I don't see why you couldn't make an Italian meringue buttercream with powdered egg whites -- I've made just about everything with them, and never had a problem.

That's simply not true. Pate a bombe, which is whipped egg yolks and soft ball sugar, is a traditional base as well as the various meringues.
(I hate to do the whip out and compare thing, but in this case I feel I should back my statement up: I apprenticed growing up in the kitchen of a classic French/Danish restaurant, have a degree in pastry from the French Culinary Institute, and have worked as a pastry chef (chef, not cook).)
Usually when people buy cakes with a buttercream frosting serve it at a party, all the plates left over have lumps of buttercream pushed to one side because no one wants to eat it.
I think that's because whipped Crisco + caster sugar does not in any way equal buttercream, even though that what most supermarket and standard-issue bakeries use.[/quote]

hmm.. just a thought, just because someone came from a culinary school doesn't mean that he is better than those who didn't. or that his method is correct and other(non-culinary school) methods are not. a school should be there to guide and inspire creativity, not to make haughty robots out of graduates. following escoffier's methods down to the last pinch is no longer the epitome of fine dining. new trends are in! even escoffier can learn a thing or two.

Mike Mann: "All my businesses are a front for my charity work."
How many people do we know who make money just to give it away? Not just some of it, but almost all of it? For Mike Mann, this is not a new idea born of some single transformative experience, but a lifelong and innate way of living and being. He's always "done well" in order to do right by others. The converse works just as well: his commitments to charity feed the success of his (many) businesses.
Where to start? Probably in Washington, DC, when at a young age Mike spent much of his time volunteering in the inner city, teaching kids about the environment, dealing with inner city issues and working with homeless people. He had enough free time, in 1994, to launch his first company, Internet Interstate - an ironic development considering "I'm not at all technical - I'm totally incompetent with technical stuff." But it was a strong marketing concept and, as such, quickly caught the attention of Verio, Inc. Verio infused the company with venture capital, and soon enough the investments made Mike a millionaire - but not the sort to go out and enjoy it. "I figured with 5% interest, I could live on $50,000 a year, invest the rest, and go back to work in the inner city." This he did, and became the first chairman of ByteBack.org, a still-active organization helping disadvantaged city kids and adults gain computer literacy and training skills - for free. "It's a fantastic model," he says.
We've talked before about "serial entrepreneurs" in domaining, but we think Mike stands alone as a serial Founder and Chairman - of BuyDomains.com (1998- now NameMedia), BrowserMedia (1999), X3O Technologies (2005, just Founder) Phone.com, SEO.com, DomainMarket.com (all in 2007), Bethesda.com/AdvertisingNow, proHR, PurePPC.com, and PRMarketing.com (all in 2011). These are just some of the companies he's launched, chaired, and funded that make very good money for the projects he most cares about.
The centerpiece of those projects is Grassroots.org, whose goal is to aggregate some 10,000 member charities, generally small 501(c)(3)s, and give them each $10,000 worth of free services each year - phone, consulting, web, hosting, and more - for a total annual giveaway of $100 million. At this writing, Grassroots is closing in on 50% of this goal, with nearly 5,000 members and some $4 million in free services, but Mike won't be fully satisfied until they hit their mark. "It's challenging," he says, "because we have the platform and the membership, but we need more service providers to join us and integrate with us." A companion project is ChangeTheWorld.org, which pairs MBA students with Grassroots members to help small nonprofits improve their efficiency and functions. It started with the University of Maryland, but is expanding to other business schools around the nation. In fact, its membership has quadrupled in the last two months, and shows no signs of slowing. Add to this Interns.org, which provides students and graduates opportunities to work with nonprofits and guides them "toward meaningful real-world career experiences."
The roots of this sprawling tree of social activism are in his MakeChange! Trust, which funds these and other projects, and where almost all of Mike's personal business profits end up. He notes from his earlier days of nearly instant wealth, "I once bought a bunch of luxurious stuff, houses that were good investments at the time and might make some money for charities, but I'm done with it, I'm not going to do it again. These days, I just about break even."
With dozens of companies, many hundreds of employees ("who work their asses off"), hundreds of thousands of domain names in his portfolio, and his ambitious charity ventures, he's somehow found time to write two books, Make Millions and Make Change!, and the recently released Applied Evolution! Understanding Humans for a Better World, available online but not fully completed. A third book is on the way, focusing on how to fix government so it actually works for the people - very much the core ethos of his latest project, the Green Tea Party, created "to stand up for American people and fight the vicious cycle of bad governance in Washington perpetuated by uncontested, incompetent Democrats and Republicans." With everything he does, he boils it down to three core concepts - "best practices, no fraud, no waste."
Anyone exhausted yet? Mike isn't. "I'm famous for not sleeping." And the need to help make the world a better place is as essential to him as food and water (if not sleep). "Everybody needs to feel they're a part of a global community, that we're all interconnected by design."
You can connect with Mike Mann on Facebook, LinkedIn, or his website. We're grateful that he could share some precious time with us for preparing this article, and we're highly honored to recognize him as one of Domaining's Most Fascinating People for 2011.

Today we're on set shooting and I have to decide between my current favorite pinks. It's not easy but each one has its own finish + color payoff. I'm sure you've noticed the last time you were at the store that there were a gazillion versions to choose from that are not your mother's lipstick. As your pocket makeup artist, I'll walk you through each choice and why I like it…
THE JUST-BITTEN STAIN: This little beauty delivers a sheer stain to add color in a very fairy tale, "I have naturally bright pink lips, sorry!" kind of way. TBD Favorite: YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis in #14.
THE HIGH PAY-OFF TINTED BALM: This is for those of us who hate the feeling of wearing more than a lip balm, but don't want to sacrifice color! TBD Favorite: Tarte LipSurgence in Amused.
THE INTENSE GLOSS: This is for the girl who loves a shiny glossy lip but still wants to rock a bright shade. TBD Favorite: NARS Larger Than Life Gloss in Place Vendome.
THE HIGH-PIGMENT MATTE CRAYON: This wonder stick is for the retro girl who loves the classic edge of a matte lip. TBD Favorite: Bite Beauty Matte Pencil in Grapevine.
THE DAREDEVIL MATTE GLOSS-STAIN HYBRID: This goodness-in-a-tube is like nothing you've ever felt before! It stains your lip for hours but in a matte finish and comes in the brightest array of colors possible. TBD Favorite: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tars in Brights.
Which is your favorite? What drugstore brands do you find have the most pink payoff?

Farewell to Robbie
A full house was there to bid farewell to Robin Evan Roberts on Monday evening in the Christ Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Temple Terrace, FL, just a few blocks from the Hall of Famers' home.
Pastor Wally Meyer pointed to the right side of the sanctuary, "Robbie would sit in the last row every week, providing he arrived early enough.
"We all know he had 305 complete games. I once told him, I had more complete services than 305. He laughed and said, 'Yes, but you didn't have umpires.' Yes, he pitched a lot of complete games. He also led a complete life." Indeed he did.
Robbie was the most unassuming Hall of Famer you could meet. He just was a very nice person through and through. Never wanted to be treated like a prima donna. He was a humble legend.
Robbie lived in a four-bedroom ranch that included a game room and a family room. Each of those rooms had a TV set and that's where he could be found, watching the
Phillies play. Sometimes it was the game room, other times the family room that included a large HD set, which wasn't purchased until this year. He was satisfied with the smaller color set.
Following the memorial service and a reception at the nearby Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club, the Roberts' family members returned to the ranch and watched the last few innings of last night's win. Everyone knew he too was watching, somehow.
Each of the four sons spoke about growing up with a baseball star father, someone who didn't pretend to be a star. Each did it with class and strength, just as Robbie had done when he spoke at his wife's funeral nearly five years ago that ended a 56-year-marriage. Each mentioned how difficult it was for dad after mom had died.
Six of us from the front office were there, David Montgomery, Bill Giles, Mike Stiles, Richard Deats, Debbie Nocito and myself. Phillies Alumni included Dick Allen and his wife, Willa, Ruben Amaro Sr., Lee Elia and Paul Stuffel, Robbie's teammate in the early 1950s. Retired umpire Richie Garcia came to pay his respects. Randy Ayers, former 76ers coach, did the same.
Robbie loved the current Phillies team. Jimmy Rollins, in Clearwater to continue his rehab, and his wife, Johari, were there to represent the current team. Robbie would have been touched by that.
Youngest of Robbie's four sons is Jim. He spoke last and made a touching comment: "Mom died five years ago next month, right around father's day. Dad died near mother's day. He just decided he was going back with her."

Danish Prime Minister Won't Share Famous 'Selfie' She Took of Obama
Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt is not going to share her famous "selfie" with the rest of the world.
"No, I don't want to do that," she told Danish public service broadcaster DR. Laughing, she added "It isn't a particularly good picture".
Probably nothing has made the head of the Danish government as famous as the "selfie" she took of herself together with U.S. President Barack Obama and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron. The picture showing the three enjoying themselves at Nelson Mandela's memorial made it on the front page of numerous newspapers and went viral via Twitter, Facebook and other social media.

Most of the couples I see in my practice complain about having mismatched libidos, when one person wants more sex than the other.
There are also couples, though, who used to have good sex lives but who rarely have sex any more, and would like this to change. It is difficult enough to talk about your sex life, but admitting you don't have one at all is even more embarrassing. These couples also often believe they are the only ones with this problem.
It was easy for them in the early years: they met, fell in love and had sex as often as possible. Then things gradually changed and they are left wondering what happened to the strong desire and passion they once had.
This might coincide with becoming more domestic, working longer hours and, for some couples, starting a family. Women who have young children and demanding workloads at home and work are often too tired to even think about sexual pleasure. This can also be a problem for men as they can be too tired or distracted to want sex.
It is important to remember that these stresses are normal under certain circumstances and that after a period of not much sex, intimacy will resume. But couples should keep engaging in non-sexual intimacy to stay connected.
A sexless relationship is defined as having sex fewer than 10 times a year. In most relationships, sexual satisfaction is a measure of the entire relationship. If a once-satisfying sex life becomes one in which sex is infrequent or non-existent, it's more likely there are other aspects of the relationship that are unsatisfactory.
When I talk to clients who are in a relationship that is lacking sex, my advice is: start fixing the issues before it is too late. Everyone is different, and there are many reasons couples do not want sex.
There are some common reasons: not being satisfied with their sex life, no longer being attracted to their partner, body-image issues, sexual dysfunction, stress, depression or anxiety.
Stress has become part of our lives and has a tendency to create tension between partners. If it stays unresolved, it results in anger and misunderstandings. When couples don't sort out these problems, sooner or later resentment will surface and intimacy and sex will go on the back-burner.
Sometimes, when I ask my clients when they last had sex, they tell me: "I can't remember." Men sometimes acquire sexual dysfunction – it's not easy when a man, for whatever reason, starts having difficulties with his erections or with premature ejaculation. When this happens, he may start having performance anxiety and, instead of addressing the issue, he often starts avoiding sex. If he doesn't discuss this problem with his partner they will grow apart, leaving him or her frustrated, resentful and angry.
For women, there can be different reasons for not wanting sex much any more. There are still many women (about 70 per cent) who don't experience an orgasm during intercourse. I advise them not to complain but to show their partners how to give them an orgasm during foreplay or intercourse, or after, by hand, oral sex or sex toy.
Men are no mind-readers, and communicating openly is the best way to get results. There are also women who have never had an orgasm, and I suggest they should try to learn how to have one, so they know what they are missing out on.
Unlike men, women can have sex with their partners any time they want – they don't need to be very excited, and they can choose to make love for reasons other than strong desire. They may do it because they like feeling close or emotionally connected to their partner, to nurture loving feelings without having mind-blowing orgasms all the time. Sometimes they might do it to make their partner happy, as the alternative is to not have sex at all.
Now, I don't tell my female clients to just do it, but they often tell me: "Sometimes I just don't feel like having sex, but when I actually do it, I start enjoying it and I am happy I instigated it."
We should not forget there are many health benefits of having sex, and that by being intimate partners, the relationship outside the bedroom is also much stronger.
Not all sexless relationships are doomed. It is fine, as long as both people are happy not to have sex any more. Unfortunately, this is rare.

Research and general acceptance
Slim4Life is a center-based approach to weight loss that helps dieters lose weight through regular sessions with personal diet counselors.
The Slim4Life program is based around weight-loss centers. At these centers, dieters meet one-on-one with counselors to receive personalized advice, support, and guidance. The Slim4Life Web site says that its programs focus on supervision, individual counseling, and behavior education. The centers offer programs for men and women, as well as children ages 10 and up.
Dieters interested in participating in the Slim4Life program can set up a free 30-minute meeting and consultation with a diet counselor. If the dieter decides to enter the program, he or she will meet regularly with counselors, sometimes as many as two to three times a week. Dieters do not have specifically assigned personal counselors, and do not need to make appointments. Instead, dieters may come into the center whenever it is open (usually Monday through Saturday) and see counselors on a first-come first-served basis.
The focus of the Slim4Life program is the individual needs and preferences of the dieter. The program offers dietary guidance for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health conditions, as well as for vegetarians and people with serious dietary limitations. The guidelines set by the dietary counselors allow dieters to make many choices about the foods that they eat each day. The program is designed to allow dieters to prepare foods from the supermarket, and does not require that prepackaged meals be purchased.
Slim4Life emphasizes a diet high in vegetables and fruits and includes whole grains and other healthy foods. Sugar and fats are limited, and some dieters have reported restrictions on dairy or other foods. In general, Slim4Life, tries to help dieters stay away from processed foods and eat healthier, fresh foods. The counselors can also provide dieters with suggestions for how to choose healthy foods when eating out.
Slim4Life tries not only to teach dieters about what foods to eat, but also how much to eat. An important part of helping dieters prepare to maintain their weight loss is through focusing on being able to visually identify what constitutes an appropriate portion size. Most Slim4Life diet plans restrict the dieter
to fewer than 1500 calories per day. The specific number of calories determined for each dieter based on age, weight, activity level, and other factors.
Slim4Life does not provide specific exercise recommendations. Although the program does encourage its dieters to be active and promises increased energy levels, dieters do not receive a personalized exercise plan or guide. Although Slim4Life does not require the dieter to buy prepackaged meals, many dieters have reported being encouraged to buy various nutritional supplements such as bars and mixes, as well as various dietary supplements. The cost of the program varies, but may exceed $600.00, much of which may be due up front. This cost may be prohibitive for many dieters.
There are many benefits to weight loss if it is achieved at a moderate pace through healthy eating and exercise. Most experts suggest that a moderate pace is about 1–2 pounds of weight loss per week. Slim4Life claims that its dieters lose weight at about twice this rate. Obesity is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and many other diseases and conditions. People who are the most obese are at the greatest risk, and are most likely to have severe symptoms if the diseases do develop. Weight loss can reduce the risk of obesity-related disease and can even reduce the severity of the symptoms in some cases when the diseases have already developed.
Many dieters may find that the one-on-one nature of the counseling at Slim4Life centers is extremely helpful. People who are shy or have feelings of embarrassment about their weight may find that it is easier to talk about weight and weight-related issues in an individual, instead of a group setting. Others, however, may find that they would prefer the social support system that group settings can bring. Individual counseling can also help by addressing the individual needs and preferences of dieters. Slim4Life says that it can work with a dieter's personal physician to address any dietary needs related to diseases and conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. This possible integration of physician and weight-loss center may be beneficial for people with strict dietary requirements or concerns, and may help the dieter make the best dietary decisions for his or her particular needs.
Anyone thinking of beginning a new diet should consult a medical practitioner. Requirement of calories, protein, and other nutrients vary from person to person based on age, weight, sex, activity level, and many other factors. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should be especially cautious because what the mother eats can have significant impact on the health and well-being of the baby. When accepting advice about diet and other health concerns, dieters should not be afraid to enquire about the credentials of the person who is advising them. Trained and certified dieticians, nutritionists, registered nurses and others will usually be happy to share information about credentials, school, training, and certifications. Dieters should be
cautious about accepting dietary or medical advice from people who are not trained and certified.
There are some risks to any diet, but there are generally more risks to a diet that is very restrictive of any type of food. This is because eating a limited variety of foods can make it difficult to get all of the vitamins and minerals required for good health. Dieters may want to talk to their doctor about whether a multivita-min or supplement would help reduce this risk. Dietary supplements have their own risks, even if they are herbal or ''all nautral''. Dieters should discuss any recommended herbs, vitamins, or supplements with their doctor or another health care professional to ensure that the supplements are necessary and safe before beginning to take them.
Research and general acceptance
There have been no significant scientific studies investigating the effectiveness of the Slim4Life program. It is generally accepted that a moderately reduced calorie diet, when combined with exercise, is a good way for people to lose weight. Most experts recommend 1–2 pounds a week, less than Slim4Life promises, as a reasonable amount of weight to lose each week for most people.
Some dieters have reported that dairy products were extremely limited or completely eliminated from their diet while following the plan set by their Slim4Life counselors. MyPyramid recommends that healthy adults consume the equivalent of 3 cups of dairy products each day for good health. Low or non-fat dairy products are strongly recommended. Any diet that does not meet this recommendation means that a dieter runs the risk of having a calcium deficiency, which can lead to osteoporosisand other negative outcomes.
The necessity and wisdom of taking pills, herbs, and other products intended to aid weight loss is a hotly debated subject. Many people believe that such dietary supplements can help dieters achieve weight loss more quickly and may have positive health benefits. Other people believe that such supplements are usually unnecessary, and that their effectiveness is questionable because of the lack of controlled, reproducible, studies indicating their effectiveness. Critics of such supplements also often argue that because dietary supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as strictly as prescription medicines, they may have negative side effects that are not yet documented.
An example of this kind of problem occurred involving supplements containing ephedra. On April 12, 2004 the FDA banned the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedra because of evidence that the compound increased a dieter's risk of cardiovascular complications and because of a lack of evidence of significant positive health benefits that could outweigh this risk. Before this time, many dieters all over the United States were taking supplements that contained ephedra without being aware of the possibility that it could cause extremely serious side effects.
The Centers for Disease Control recommended in 2007 that adults get 30 minutes of light to moderate exercise each day for good health. Slim4Life suggests that its participants be active, but it does not make specific exercise recommendations. Therefore it may be up to the dieter to ensure that he or she follows an exercise regimen that meets these minimum requirements. Regular exercise is a generally accepted part of a healthy weight-loss program. Studies have shown that diet and exercise are more effective at producing sustainable weight loss when done in combination than either diet or exercise is when done alone.
