I hear on the radio that there has been yet more research into breastfeeding. And lo, the medical profession doth say: children who are breastfed are better behaved than those who are not. Fact. Oh for fuck's sake. Can we please have a moratorium on breastfeeding research? I think mothers may have the picture by now. Breastfeeding is good. Super-breasty-duper. But does all this research really persuade more mothers to breastfeed? Does it really win over those floating nipples? (Which are a bit like floating voters, but with a much higher propensity to lactate).
Mostly, this research seems just to make mothers who can't or won't breastfeed feel like pariahs who are going to raise stupid, disease-prone, ill-behaved morons. Mind you, I guess it does provide an alibi for bad behaviour. The next time E tantrums (it happens on a regular enough basis that I have turned it into a verb) I shall just sigh, look down with a woeful expression at my breasts and say: "He would be such a well behaved boy if my boobs had not been a bit broken and I could have breastfed him for longer."
And just how much money, in these cash strapped times, are the government pumping (to stay with the breastfeeding lingo) into research? I do not go out of my way to read up on the latest missive about how the benefits of breastfeeding are practically verging on the miraculous – I managed three months, which means my boobs should at least be in line for beatification – but I have read countless reports in the newspapers of new research.
"So, Trevor, how much have we got this time?"
"Let's see, breastfeeding research fund…here we are…a hundred grand."
"Excellent. So we could track a good representative section of babies from birth, both those who are breastfed and those who are fed formula…"
"Watch your bloody language, Nicholas."
"Sorry Trevor. Those who are fed 'the unmentionable' – then we can track behavioral traits, conduct regular reasoning and cognitive tests, off-set the data against identified affluence, class and nurturing factors…we could really advance the breastfeeding debate this time."
"We could…"
"But we won't."
"We won't?"
"Nah. Can't be fucked. All those babies, dribbling milk and puking. God, it turns my stomach. Not to mention all those hormonal new mothers. Jesus. And let's face it, we both know what the results will be."
"We do?"
"Christ, don't they teach you anything in medical college these days? Look, we just need to identify a few attributes that will guilt new mothers into breastfeeding, preferably those that will seemingly solve a couple of societal ills… you know, breastfed babies are less likely to wear hoodies, if you breastfeed your baby exclusively for a year they won't get in-growing toe nails, only two percent of rioters were breastfed… that sort of thing – and that's it. Job done."
"Oh…right. Well, in that case, pass the Digestives."
"Digestives, Nicholas? Digestives? We have a hundred grand at our disposal. I have three cases of Duchy Original Shortbread in the stationery cupboard."

by GUEST BLOGGER JOCELYN
Those of you have both kids and pets know how messy and stinkythey can be, especially when they play together. I often find myself looking at the carpet and seeing a new stain, having absolutely no idea where it came from I usually come to the conclusion that it was the kids or the dog.
The nextdilemma I face is what to clean the stain with!?! I want to use something that works. Something that willremove both the stain and the odor (if there is one),butobviously I do not want to use anything that could possibly be harmful to my children or to my dog. I have even been known to create my own concoctions from time to time.
I recently came across a brand calledKids-N-Pets. They have all types of stain and odor removers that are completely safe for….you guessed it….kids and pets! All of their products are made without harsh chemicals and work to remove odors and stains, not just cover them up.
I tested their Instant All-Purpose Stain and Odor Remover and was in awe. My potty training 2 year old had an accident right on the carpet. I used the Kids-N-Pets Instant All-Purpose Stain and Odor Remover both on the carpet and in the laundry. The clothes came out clean as ever, withabsolutely no smell of urineand the carpet came out the same. I was a little apprehensive, thinking that the stain (or smell) might reappear after a few days, but it's been about a week and there is still no sign of it. Since then I have also used the Kids-N-Pets Instant All-Purpose Stain and Odor Remover to clean up blood and popsicle, both had the same pleasing result.
I also tested the Kids-N-Pets Deep Clean Carpet Cleaning Powder. You sprinkle it on your carpet before you vacuum and let it sit for a few minutes. It has a light sent, either fresh citrus or spring green, and oxygen activated dirt removers designed to loosen dirt that you might not be able to see. After vacuuming it up I did notice that my carpets looked brighter. My husband even came home from work and asked if I had cleaned the carpets. My reply was…"yes, but not the way you are thinking"!
I love, love, lovethese productsand just as impressive is the price. Kids-N-Pets Instant All-Purpose Stain and Odor Removercan be purchased at places like Walmart or Amazon.com starting around $5 for 32 oz. while Kids-N-Pets Deep Clean Carpet Cleaning Powderwill run you about $10 for 2 16 oz. canisters.
Here are the before and after shots of the stains when my dog decided to run in the house with a popsicle that my son had set on the ground outside.

September 23, 2010
While leaders from around the globe gathered at the annual United Nations Summit in New York to discuss the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Mashable, the 92nd Street Y and the UN Foundation also united to include the public in discussing solutions to social issues. The eight MDGs strive to make the world safer and healthier, and aim to put an end to poverty by 2015.
The Social Good Summit on Monday featured speakers from the U.S. government, the entertainment world and the technology sector who participated in 18 brief presentations and interviews regarding innovative ideas to address these goals. Here are some of the highlights from the Summit:
— Facebook's Adam Conner, associate manager, public policy, said that he aims to harness the social Web for social good. He sees the power of individuals and their connections, and wants to increase productivity among the digital divide. He notes that nonprofits can update information in real-time and that more than 40 federal agencies already have pages on Facebook from the U.S. government.
Conner also sees social gaming as a tool to bring social context to real world problems and believes that there is a huge possibility for online actions related to these types of games. He thinks that a solution to reaching the MDGs can involve putting "focus on the mechanics of making it engaging first and foremost."
— Sesame Workshop's Sherri Rollins Weston, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, explained how powerful "Sesame Street" has become. It was founded more than 40 years ago to help disadvantaged children learn and now millions of children can watch it in 140 different countries.
"But we're not just teaching letters and numbers," she said. "We are teaching major global issues like girls' education in places like India, Bangladesh, Egypt; respect and understanding in Israel, the Palestinian territories, Kosovo, Northern Ireland; and health issues like malaria in Nigeria and Tanzania and HIV and AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa."
Weston brought one of her Muppet friends, Kami from the South African show "Takalani Sesame," with her to explain what the organization is doing to promote respect and understanding in other countries. Kami (who is HIV positive) has become a mascot in South Africa for normalizing HIV and AIDS and making it OK for children and adults to discuss the disease.
— Geena Davis, the Academy Award-winning actress and founder of The Geena Davis Institute on Gender and Media and See Jane, spoke with CNN anchor and correspondent Soledad O'Brien about her mission to improve gender portrayal in children's media, reduce male and female stereotypes and educate the next generation of content creators.
"We are enculturating generation after generation to accept that women have a lesser status or a lesser value in our society than men," she said. "Especially if we are showing little kids a very imbalanced world where the boys are the ones that do all of the fun stuff and the girls are not there or hyper-sexualized in many cases. They're getting an unconscious message that girls are not as important and not worth as much."
Davis added, "In fact, we know that the more hours of television a girl watches, the fewer options she feels she has in life and the more hours of television a boy watches, the more sexist his views become."
— Elizabeth Gore, executive director, global partnerships, UN Foundation, interviewed Judy McGrath, CEO of MTV networks, about activating Millennials for social good. "In terms of size, they are bigger than Gen X, they are better educated than Baby Boomers," McGrath said. "They are confident, they are optimistic and they are literally wired 24-hours per day — they are digital natives if you will. I believe in order to achieve the goals of the Millennial Development Project, you must include the Millennial generation in the dialogue."
McGrath believes that music, politics, social issues and popular culture are all intertwined and have the power to move people. "You need 'Jersey Shore' to get them in the tent and then you need something like 'The World of Jenks' or a docu-series that will speak to the other part of their personality," she said.
Several years ago, MTV created an innovative social game called "Darfur Is Dying" and was also one of the first cable networks to discuss HIV/AIDS on television with its "Real World" series. McGrath also mentions a current campaign tagline that MTV is promoting "WTF is GYT?" which uses popular slang to encourage viewers to "get yourself tested."
"What makes a really rich experience is to acknowledge the fun side of things and make a seamless integration with the other issues that are very much a part of who they are and how they envision themselves and how they want to be," she said. "[Young people] already have power, and they will use it."
— Jack Leslie, chairman of Weber Shandwick and chairman of the U.S. African Development Foundation, had a conversation with Bonin Bough, global director of digital and social media, PepsiCo, about how to engage consumer advocates for social good. Leslie noted how companies "have moved from cause marketing to CSR as [something that companies are engraining] into the way they do business."
Bough discussed The Pepsi Refresh Project, a $20 million social media campaign that was launched in January and encourages people to submit ideas about how to refresh their communities. More people have voted on these projects than in the last U.S. presidential election. Pepsi understands how important it is for these people to be "corporate citizens," have a voice about social issues and be engaged.
Leslie said that companies "have moved from a broadcast model into an engagement model" and they have to think of young people "less as consumers and more as advocates" because this group is interested in what role companies can play in addressing social needs. He cited a powerful statistic that 18-24 percent of young people recently surveyed said that they would take pay cuts if they knew that their company was advocating for social change.
— Founder of Jumo.com, Chris Hughes, presented his views on creating a social network for social good. Previously, Hughes worked for Facebook and was also the director of online organizing for Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Here, he aims to use the social Web to nurture long-term relationships between individuals and organizations.
Hughes believes that "crisis response is not a sustainable solution," mentioning that people donated immediately following the floods in Pakistan or the earthquakes in Haiti, but have not taken action since then. His network makes it easy for every day people to find an organization they are passionate about and stay in touch with it, as well as support that organization continuously. It's designed as a relationship map like Facebook, Yelp or Amazon, and connects users where they already are, but also links people to inspire global change. "It's a network for people connecting to change the world," he said.
— Edward Norton, actor and founder of Crowdrise, spoke on behalf of his fundraising organization. He sees this social networking website as a place for people to go to take action.
"It's not where you [go] to seek out causes but to say, 'Here's who I am, what I care about and [find out] how you can help,'" he said.
Crowdrise is also designed for families to link in and create teams, thus leveraging and multiplying the online fundraising and supporting the cause — a grassroots effort for people to be citizens and advocates in a fun and appealing way.
— The closing keynote interview at the conference featured Mashable CEO and founder Pete Cashmore interviewing Ted Turner, chairman of Turner Enterprises and chairman of the UN Foundation. In 1998, Turner donated $1 billion to support UN causes and activities.
Turner said that he hopes that the MDGs will cut the rate of poverty in half over a decade. He also aims to stabilize the population through education and the media.
"The more people you have, the more you have to divide the wealth," Turner said. In addition to poverty and overpopulation, the other issue that is at the forefront of Turner's agenda for social good is getting rid of nuclear weapons.
He applauds the progress the world has made so far toward achieving the MDGs and noted that there were only five cases of polio in the world in the last year and that the world has officially defeated smallpox. He believes that we should be able to conquer malaria in the next 20 years as well.
Additionally, Turner commented that print is waning because it's too expensive, and that digital and social media are on the rise. "I think print itself is just going to fade away," he said. "You've got to be efficient or you'll be obsolete."

Happy Customers!
Caryl and Liv are absolutely the best! They take the time to explain the different types of wigs and what suits you best. It is such an emotional experience losing your hair, and these two angels help you throughout the difficult process. I really didn't think I was going to find a wig that I would love. Sure enough, they proved me wrong. Thankfully Wigful Thinking is local, but I would have driven any distance for the experience they provided. ~ Wendy
I am feeling like my life has started anew. Caryl and Olivia know how to make magic. Their warm caring patient approach to my problem, hair loss, has ensured my ability to feel like me again. They listen to requests, questions, and apprehensions with patience and concern. I purchased 2 different style wigs, one synthetic and one real hair so I can have a sense of every day as well as one for chic-go-to affairs. Two different styles, two great looks. Unlike others in their business, they welcome you back any time you have a question or concern or need help caring for your hair pieces. This is not just a store, Caryl and Olivia make it a "magic place" where you want to return. My husband says that every time I return from there I look younger. By the way, have Caryl help you with her approach to skin care and make-up. It's the total package. This review is my "Ode to Joy". ~ Carmela
Caryl and Olivia are the best. They took such good care of my wife. Sincere and compassionate. Worth the 90-minute drive.
I visited Wigful Thinking the end of the summer as I had a medical issue that was causing me to lose all of my hair. I was very nervous and self conscious and wasn't sure what to expect. From the minute I walked in I felt completely at ease – Both Caryl and Olivia were extremely warm and knowledgeable and treated me like an old friend. I admit I initially shopped around but ultimately came back to buy my wig from Wigful Thinking. I was extremely pleased with the wig I purchased as well as all of the care that I received. I received so many compliments on my "new hairstyle" – it made me feel better than I could have imagined. I visited multiple times – wig fitting, instructions on washing and care and later for a wig trim. I would (and do) recommend them without any hesitation – they helped me at a very scary and stressful time and I am extremely grateful. Thank you Caryl and Olivia!
I just came home from Wigful Thinking. I was so impressed with the girls I cannot thank them enough. Caryl and Olivia were so helpful and knowledgeable. I expected to try on a few styles. Caryl's expertise showed me a topper and I was sold. They welcomed us and made me very comfortable. Without a doubt, if you are in need of a wig, WIgful Thinking is the shop for you. THANK YOU girls for making me feel like a queen.
Very kind and helpful staff.
Was a little nervous before coming to your place with my mom to get her a wig before she started chemo. All my nervousness went away by just the warm welcome of the women behind the counter. They made the process a lot easier and made my mom feel great. They matched her with the perfect wig that looked amazing. I was impressed with the quality and the smile on my mom's face. Thank You!
Had an experience at Wigful Thinking that I must share. As I soon will beginning chemotherapy treatment, I was advised by my oncologist to be fitted for wig for within the next two weeks I will lose my hair. In my packet received from the doctor, I found a brochure from Wigful Thinking. It was the best advice I could have received. I can't say enough about Wigful Thinking.
I was treated with dignity, kindness and compassion. And I was fitted with the perfect piece!
I feel beautiful, empowered, and can embrace life. Thank you Caryl and Wigful Thinking!
If you need a wig for any reason at all, you must go to Wigful Thinking. Huge variety to choose from, and the service is outstanding.
Quality and selection of wigs is amazing! Who knew wig eyebrows! Loved Carol made me feel special, extremely helpful and compassionate.
My sister is battling cancer, I found your store and am so grateful I did. Ms. Caryl was so informative and made her feel pretty again. Thank you!!!
I took a very special friend here today and she walked out feeling more like herself through this "bump in the road". The smile on her face when we left was worth a million bucks!!…As a hairtstylist, the quality of the wigs is amazing and the selection is very impressive. The owner Carol was EXTREMELY compassionate and helpful.-Jenn Angelini

book with co-author Steve Gullans, that humans are evolving from Homo sapiens to Homo evolutus, a hominid that directly and deliberately controls the evolution of its own and other species. "We're moving from reading the life code to writing the life code, and that is a very different circumstance," says Enriquez, who urges the audience to think about what it means to "upgrade our species."
—-Peter Daszak, president of the New York-based EcoHealth Alliance, begins his talk by saying, "A chimpanzee virus killed 25 million people. That's why I'm here." In fact, Daszak says HIV/AIDS is only one example of a number of emerging infectious diseases affecting humans today. Daszak, a disease ecologist, says approximately 75 percent of emerging infectious diseases affecting humans originated in wild or domestic animals. Bats, for example, carry rabies, SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), Ebola, and the coronavirus. The scariest animal on the planet, Daszak says, is not a Bengal tiger, but the "sugar glider," an adorable, bug-eyed marsupial with a long tail that glides from tree to tree. "I'm most afraid of this particular little animal, because the people are going into the forests of Indonesia to catch them, bring them into captivity, and ship them around the world—straight into our homes, where we hold them, kiss them, and cuddle up to them," he says. "What easier way could there be for any one of this species' 100 new viruses to spread to humans?"

If you're unable to connect online, you can still play a training mission that tasks you with shooting dummy targets within a set period of time.
Experience is awarded based on the number of kills made for your team and the awards earned during a match. You won't always acquire the same amount of experience as kills made, however.
Along with Team Deathmatch, you can send Challenges to players on your Buddy List. These occur in real-time, though, and so the player you challenge must be online at the same time.
Committing suicide (i.e. firing a rocket at your feet or running into your own grenade) or executing a teammate subtracts a point from your score.

We had owned the camper for about six months and found that the standard lighting wasn't ideal for relaxing and watching the TV. So we bought a small battery powered set of Christmas lights which created a nice ambient light source. However, these had to be positioned every time we wanted to use them and this was proving a tad inconvenient.
At one of the previous local campervan meetings I had seen a van that had some mood lighting in the rail on the left of the van. This was just what I was looking for. On a trip to IKEA I spotted some strip lighting that looked like it would fit the bill. It came with a controller pack which allowed the selection of specific colours or disco modes.
So I bought the kit and after a little tinkering the lights were mounded in place using the double sided foam pads. These were than wired in to a switch underneath the sink unit that provided power to the DVD player. This gets used every time we camp so its been a worth while addition. I think the kit was £35 at the time which included 4 strips that are linked together by a short ribbon and a longer ribbon to link the controller to the lights. See link here

the new Etihad Innovation Training Academy in Abu Dhabi.
The company will also build a series of Door and
Cabin Trainers that cater to Etihad Airways' growing fleet of
Airbus A320, Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 aircraft, and will conduct
an extensive refurbishment program on all existing cabin crew
training equipment at the Etihad Training
Academy, located next to the airline's headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
The devices are currently being manufactured

Where the evidence leads
Google Alerts is a very useful tool for skeptics. It sends you an email whenever the word or phrase you've asked for crops up in their searches of news, blogs or other websites. They are excellent for keeping tabs on what's going on by helping you track new stories and hits.
Naturally, I have one set up for the General Chiropractic Council (GCC), just to see where they crop up on web sites and in the news.
A few days ago, I received a Google Alert about a page that had been recently updated, although the mention of the GCC was from some time ago. It linked to a decision by the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) about complaints made by the GCC against the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail and the Guardian about articles published on 9 November 2007.
According to the GCC, the articles said:
- Chiropractors 'are waste [sic] of money', Daily Telegraph, Rebecca Smith
- Chiropractors 'are a waste of time', Daily Mail, Jenny Hope
- 'Chiropractors may be no use in treating back pain, study says', The Guardian, Alok Jha
Nothing new there, then.
The Mass Libel Reform Blog – Fight for Free Speech!
This week is the first anniversary of the report Free Speech is Not for Sale, which highlighted the oppressive nature of English libel law. In short, the law is extremely hostile to writers, while being unreasonably friendly towards powerful corporations and individuals who want to silence critics.
The English libel law is particularly dangerous for bloggers, who are generally not backed by publishers, and who can end up being sued in London regardless of where the blog was posted. The internet allows bloggers to reach a global audience, but it also allows the High Court in London to have a global reach.
You can read more about the peculiar and grossly unfair nature of English libel law at the website of the Libel Reform Campaign. You will see that the campaign is not calling for the removal of libel law, but for a libel law that is fair and which would allow writers a reasonable opportunity to express their opinion and then defend it.
The good news is that the British Government has made a commitment to draft a bill that will reform libel, but it is essential that bloggers and their readers send a strong signal to politicians so that they follow through on this promise. You can do this by joining me and over 50,000 others who have signed the libel reform petition.
Remember, you can sign the petition whatever your nationality and wherever you live. Indeed, signatories from overseas remind British politicians that the English libel law is out of step with the rest of the free world.
If you have already signed the petition, then please encourage friends, family and colleagues to sign up. Moreover, if you have your own blog, you can join hundreds of other bloggers by posting this blog on your own site. There is a real chance that bloggers could help change the most censorious libel law in the democratic world.
We must speak out to defend free speech. Please sign the petition for libel reform.

Recommended best days for sowing seeds to grow great root crops are
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 12th, 13th and 14th April 2017 and
Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th too.
Here in New Zealand, sow seeds before the ground gets cold.
Often planting charts talk generally of sowing these seeds during the week after the full moon – which will be on Tuesday 11th April.
Here in Auckland, New Zealand we will be planting [what we eat – your favorites may be different]:
- carrots
- beetroot
- daikon radish
- parsnip – ours self-seed these days
- more garlic!
For more ideas about what to sow now in New Zealand, have a look at http://gardenate.com
Maybe northern hemisphere plantings may be good? Warmer now?

Just finished working with Vista and their team was great as always! Our loan was ready to close a few weeks early. Clients were all wanting to move forward instead of waiting for original contract closing date. Our special request was handled right away, without any problems or excuses. Our escrow agent quickly responded to all questions and had the kind of 'can do' attitude that put our clients at ease. We appreciate leaving our clients with that positive experience.
Vista Title & Escrow, time and time again, has provided timely and courteous service to my clients for their real estate closings and title reports. I recommend them without reservations.

So it appears that my meat thermometer is out of whack. I suppose I should just cough up the twenty bucks or so to get a fancy instant read, but I'm being cheap. Don't worry, I'll cave before I bake any chickens or make another large piece of meat. In any case, it made making this pork loin a bit more difficult than I would have liked.
Pork is tricky. It's one of those meats that, if cooked beyond a certain point, can't really be salvaged–or at least not in my books. While a rare steak can just become a medium to medium-well one, you've got a small margin of error for things like pork. So, when I realized my thermometer could not possibly be reading the right temp, I decided it was time to intervene and watch this baby like a hawk. I've also never made a pork loin before (bizarre, I know). Apparently, I'm less daunted by a giant turkey than I am by a 1 lb piece of meat. Go figure.
Anyway, the results were well worth my OCD meat-monitoring tendencies. This was flavorful and incredibly tender–even if it was just a teensy bit more cooked than what I was aiming for. Take that, meat thermometer!
So, with that, I'm taking recommendations for meat thermometers. And you should betake yourself to the store and get yourself some pork tenderloin.
Happy eating.
Zesty Pork Loin
Adapted from Elly Says Opa! I know some people hesitate to marinate meat in acid–like lime juice–for a longer period of time. While it does technically start the denaturation process, it doesn't do enough damage to make the meat tough. Just make this within a day or so, and you should be fine. This also wound up being an incredibly cheap meal. The pork loin cost just under $5, and, with some salad on the side, dinner easily came under $2/person. This would also taste delicious with a side of mashed potatoes.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon salt (this was a bit much for my taste…but I tend to use salt sparingly)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Mexican chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 onion, roughly chopped
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup red wine
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- A few hours before you intend to make dinner, prepare the tenderloin. First, remove the silver skin. That's the gross, kinda thick membrane on one side of the pork. This will only toughen as it cooks, so discard it. Just slip your knife under one end and glide underneath. Easy peasy.
- In a small container, make the rub. Stir together your lime zest, salt, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne and allspice.
- Coat the tenderloin in the olive oil, then in the lime juice.
- Rub the rub (ha!) into the meat, making sure to coat all sides and the ends. Throw into a plastic bag and refrigerate until ready to cook. You can marinate the meat for as little as half an hour or as long as one day.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat an oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin–cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until a nice crust forms. Then turn and repeat.
- Throw the onions into the pan as the last side sears. I moved them around a bit to keep any fond from burning.
- Once you've seared the pork, place the pan in the oven and cook for 15 or so more minutes–until (your hopefully working) meat thermometer registers 145.
- Remove pan from the oven and transfer the meat to a cutting board. Tent with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, make a pan sauce: Over medium heat, add the red wine to your onions, scraping up the fond with a wooden spoon. Reduce the wine by half, then swirl in the butter. Remove from heat.
- Slice up the pork and serve with the pan sauce.
Serves 3-4.

The following is based on the memories of "Pub" (Leslie) Smith, written in 1949, one of the founder members of Southampton HF and its first Secretary, (The nickname was given to him because friends said his initials, LP, stood for Licensed Premises.) Information about the Group prior to April 1944 was lost in the bombing not of Southampton but of Pub's Bournemouth home. As a master at Taunton's School he had been evacuated with the pupils to what was deemed a safer place
On the left, is a wonderful rare 1930's view of Lynmouth Harbour showing how the area was before the devastating 1952 floods swept away most buildings on the right.
In 1931 Leslie Smith enjoyed a holiday at the Lynmouth HF, (or Holiday Fellowship as it was still called), so much, that he obtained a list of people in Southampton who had visited these HF Centres, and invited them to join a ramble in the Forest, to discuss the foundation of a rambling club
With Southampton's oldest walking group ( probably )
89 years old and still going strong - every weekend
And so it was that on 18 July 1931, they all met at Poundtree Road, Southampton to catch the 2.30 bus to Lyndhurst; and then walked to Brockenhurst and back. Over a cup of tea it was decided to form a walking club and to hold a further meeting in the Autumn. (This walk is still commemorated annually - a round trip of about 8 miles.)
On 10 October they chose the Saxon Café, in Commercial Road for a supper, and there the Club was formally inaugurated. Charles Fuller was the first President and Leslie Smith was elected Secretary/Treasurer. The annual subscription was just 2/6d
At first notices of rambles went out singly on Postcards. There was much racing round to find a leader and to find a date convenient for the greatest number of people. Later a messy clay pack duplicator was used. The next step was to plan several rambles together and print them by Roneo. "Pub" and his wife Kathleen met on an HF walk and their marriage in 1934 was recorded in the Log Book of the time by Leslie Burnett, who started the Log Books, and which have continued ever since.
To all those who have actively participated in the Group throughout the years, the current members owe their thanks.

Wireless signal drops & internet bandwidth drop
OK. I called tech support few times and am tired of talking to people who has no clue. So far, I have recycled my Gateway everyday at least once or multiple times a day. I was told that I should buy ATT desktop support ($18/month) and they can verify that my PC is not the issue.
I know my laptop is not the issue since I use the same laptop outside the house and have no wireless connection issue.
I work from home and my laptop is in the next room from where the gateway is (there is only interior wall between the two rooms).
Here are my issues:
1. Almost everyday my bandwidth goes from around 10 Mbps(after I recycle the gateway) to around 3 Mbps
2. The wireless signal keep gets dropped
3. Bandwidth drops significantly in the late afternoon and early evening
1. Can I put a better antenna on the gateway (which model)?
2. Should I use different wireless dongle (other than the one ATT provided)?
3. Is there a repeater that I can add to my house to keep the signal strong?
Accepted Solution
Official Solution
Here is my solution (not perfect but works for the PC in the next room).
I bought a long range antenna (one for each device) and connect it to my desktop and another one to my laptop. This signal boost seems to work. Now I am looking for a signal booster for the back of my house (not just one device at time).
Sounds like you could be experiencing wireless interference. Take a look at SomeJoe's message found in the link below.
Are you able to connect wired, and are there any issues with a wired connection?
I downloaded the inSSIDer 2.0 and there is no interference. I also run the ATT/speed test (2.04 Mbps download and 0.24 Mbps download) before reboot the gateway. After reboot I am getting 8.8 Mbps for download and 1.44 Mbps for upload).
The non-wireless PC is getting 8.9 Mbps download and 1.42 Mbps upload.
Is there anything else I can do? Is there any amplifer for the UVerse Gateway (long range) that I can use?

Keep in mind that inSSIDer only shows stuff that your Wireless adapter on your PC can ID as 802.11* traffic. Interference can also come from Microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc. and these won't show up on inSSIDer (at least without the additional hardware option).
I don't believe there are any external antenna options for any of the RG devices.
An option many have taken (myself included) is to use a separate wireless access point (or router configured as an access point, many posts in this forum on how to do that) and place it behind the RG, then you can disable wireless on the RG and use that of the access point.
*I am not an AT&T employee, and the views and opinions expressed on this forum are purely my own. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or party.
I got on this forum to see if anyone else was having this problem and found this post. My problem is the same as yours except not quite as frequent - I can go about 1 week before rebooting RG. My symptoms are: only affects wireless devices - wired computers work fine and are not affected. After RG reboot the wireless works great. After a few days wireless devices slow down to unusable speed to no internet activity at all. Devices connect no problem and signal strength is good, just no activity. Affects laptops, my iPad, iPhones all devices. Don't think it is an interference issue - matters not where you are in the house - symptoms on all devices are the same. Any ideas besides a RG replacement?
Glad you found something that works for you. Thanks for sharing.

text: Raising the Bar at Farrell's 05/03/2018 Blog category: Testimonials In January 2016, my life was already in motion to transform, but I did not see it coming yet. My wife, Karie, was the first to join Farrell's and in her 10 weeks she did amazing. The transformation was beyond belief. She tried and tried to pressure me into doing the next session but unfortunately my military career had me push the 10 weeks until the summer session. I mention the military because I am proud of what I do and a lot of my drive and indomitable spirit comes from it. This is one of the biggest areas where Farrell's has changed my life. As I went to friends and family week at the Farrell's LaVista location in Omaha, I walked in pretty cocky since I had been in multiple fights in my day. I was in the military and deemed myself as being in great shape. BOY, WAS I WRONG! As we got the kickboxing class underway, a gal named Penny was on the mic and man was she on fire! I was watching my wife go to town on the bag as I was trying to push all my "manliness" out just to keep up. In the end, I failed miserably. I was nowhere near being as fit as I thought I was. Penny came over as I was drenched in sweat, breathing heavy, and told me I did amazing for my first time and asked if I was going to join and without haste…I replied with a HELL, YES! I enrolled in the 4 a.m. "crazies" class. As we did the orientation and did the push-ups, sit-ups and mile run, I realized I was one of the more fit new 10-weekers in the bunch. I saw this as a challenge to myself that I knew I was going to have to work extra hard to keep this up because I didn't want anyone to catch up with me. Now, I am no selfish person and I am quick to give the shirt off my back to anyone if they need it, but I can honestly say that these 10 weeks were mine and mine alone. Focusing on me, I did everything my coach asked and didn't miss class unless it was something I couldn't get out of. In the end I missed my last week due to a military obligation, but to win the $1,000 challenge with a nine-week commitment was mind blowing. I found out via a phone call from my wife, who accepted it on my behalf. It dawned on me that I had just achieved something great - for myself and for my family, and that this group at 4 a.m. had also supported me this whole time. I had a revelation once I got back and started my Farrell's FIT student lifestyle with my 4 a.m. warriors that now it was my turn to give back to those that need it. That it is no longer about me. I was fit. I did more push-ups, sit-ups and ran faster than I ever have. It was time to pay it forward. I made it my personal calling to give everything I have to every new 10-week member who came through the door. To try to push and inspire them the way I was inspired. I started to instruct strength training and help answer questions from new students that I remember asking people when I first started. It felt amazing to see people change right in front of me and to see them smile with pride and confidence as they did a push-up from their toes for the first time or shaved a minute off their mile or even lost 5 pounds. I have been called intimidating and overly passionate in the way I approach the Farrell's program. Every day I get on the bag I give it everything I have and push myself to find a new level for me. At the same time, I am passionate about others around me, and seeing them work hard. I know not everyone will be able to keep up with me, but the one thing that motivates more than anything else is seeing my fellow family members pushing themselves to exhaustion, dripping with sweat, fighting the pain to get one more in and then coming back for more. NEVER GIVING UP! How has Farrell's changed my life? Well, since my time at Farrell's my overall health has improved to where I don't wake up with back pain anymore. I'm only sore, in a good way, from the workouts I take. My military average push-up, sit-up and mile and half run used to be: 50 pushups in 2 minutes, 60 sit-ups in 2 minutes and an average of 12:00 minutes for a mile and half run. I did 102 pushups in 2 minutes, 136 sit-ups in 2 minutes and ran my mile and half in 9:40. Massive improvements. I have also been able to convince some friends of ours to join and a few of them have won the $1,000 contest or have been in the top three. I have used my knowledge of nutrition and positive thinking to push my fellow sailors to live a better lifestyle. When I wake up in the morning and the day before was a bad day, I walk into the gym and people recognize something isn't right and by the time class is over, with their support, and the overall supportive community of the gym, it goes away and I'm back to laughing and smiling. It is nice that I can release whatever is bothering me at Farrell's and not fear that I will release it at home. Another major milestone was that I have now done many 5Ks, 10Ks, a half marathon and a 76-mile relay race on a team of seven. Never in a million years did I ever expect to be able to do any of this.I have my life the way I have always wanted it and every day I step on the mats, my life continues to change in that 45 minutes. So thank you to my wife first and foremost for starting this venture. To my kids who keep me young. To founder Lance Farrell, owners Wayne and Jen, and Carol, Penny, Derek, Eric and all the other instructors who commit to the changing of lives. With a huge thank you for the change in my life, all my 4 a.m. warriors past, present and future. Thanks for keeping me motivated, dedicated and inspired to keep raising the bar on my own Level 10 lifestyle. I am forever grateful for the change provided to me by Farrell's! Patrick Q. is a FIT Member and 2017 National Challenge Participant from our LaVista, Nebraska Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping location. Back to Blog

A Japanese reggae group may make you do a double take, but rest assured, Mighty Crown is no joke. Known as "The Far East rulers of dancehall," the band has gained a reputation in the reggae community as one of the better acts around, performing frequently at huge reggae events around the globe. The group puts out mixtapes that sample various hip-hop artists — they seem to love Jay-Z's songs — and give them a dancehall makeover, but they really shine in a live setting.
Mighty Crown performs with Fire Links on Thursday, November 27, at The Main Street Armory, 900 East Main Street. 10 p.m. $15-$25. Mainstreetarmory.com; mightycrown.com.

Chemicals And Toxins In Our Modern World
Toxins In Vaccinations Documented Research On Toxic Effects Of Vaccines
Most children are vaccinated three times by the time they enter grade school, the first in infancy, the second before kindergarten and then re-vaccination before entering Grade 1. The accumulation of these vaccines is what is killing our children and suppressing their immune systems. Are children dying of vaccinations? Absolutely.
My research team has gone to the courts in various states with court orders under the Freedom of Information Act to get information on vaccine contamination that the universities would not release. These documents show that vaccines reduce our immunity in many important ways because they contain many chemicals and heavy metals like mercury and aluminum which are themselves immune suppressing. Mercury actually causes changes in lymphocyte activity. Epidemics and increase in death rates follow vaccinations in every country.
This information is not unknown to our government agencies. The pharmaceutical companies push these vaccines so they can line their pockets with billions and billions of dollars while these vaccinations are injuring and killing people. Five drug companies made nine vaccines given to millions of American children – they used materials with possible Mad Cow links, and this continued for seven years before they even investigated it! It is terrible what's going on and they are claiming that this is necessary to protect your children. It is nothing but a fraudulent activity against the people.
Protect Your Children
We must begin to take a stand for our rights and our freedoms. If the people of America knew the truth about vaccines, there would be a great war waged against the medical system for forcing children to be vaccinated. If you love your children, form a coalition and start fighting this. The Consumer Health Organization of Canada is a non-profit organization, and could possibly put a lobbying group together and you folks could donate some money to help this group go to Ottawa and start lobbying for your rights.
If you don't start rising up and standing up for your rights, it's only going to get worse. There is nothing I would love to see more than a coalition of people rise up and file a class action suit against these pharmaceutical companies until we take them out. Show me one place in the Bible where it says, "Go thou unto the pharmacists and be vaccinated!"
There are options or alternative ways to prevent these diseases. There is no reason for vaccinations. If your immune system were not capable of defending you against these diseases, you wouldn't be here in the first place. You have an immune system. God gave it to you and God knew what you were going to deal with when he created this world and created us.
Progression Of Infectious Diseases Before And After Vaccines
I have charts and graphs which show that the many of the infectious diseases we're dealing with today were basically dead in the world until vaccines were re-introduced in the twenties, and vaccines have reawakened many of these diseases and brought them back with a vengeance. After the introduction of a vaccine for any particular disease, after a period of about 5 to 8 years, that particular disease mutates and develops a resistance to the vaccine, and then the disease rate begins to climb.
Graphs show that the tuberculosis virus itself was on a steady and gradual decline. It was eliminating itself from the world, until they introduced vaccines, and now it's on the rise.
The Tetanus vaccine was introduced in the Dominican Republic in l975, and graphs showed a rise in the death rate along with inflammations and immune suppression. Tetanus was on a steady decline until they re-introduced the vaccine.
The same thing. Measles eradicated itself and declined steadily until they re-introduced the vaccine for measles and now it's starting to climb again.
Here we see the same thing again. Diphtheria went way up and then it slowly started declining until they introduced the vaccine again and then there was a steady increase. Going back in time, we see that the disease was basically eradicated before the vaccine was introduced.
Whooping Cough
When the whooping cough vaccine was introduced, we see a delay period of 5 to 10 years where it has to accumulate in the body, starts suppressing immune function and then the next generation of children are born and whooping cough is on the rise again. This happens in every single case, not just 1 out of 10, but every case.
Scarlet Fever
It declined before the introduction of immunization.
DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussin, Tetanus)
This vaccine is given to children within a year after they are born. Almost 50 years ago in 1948 two Harvard Medical School scientists, Randolph Byers and Frederick Moll, along with the FDA, carried out tests on DPT vaccines at Children's Hospital in Boston and concluded that severe neurological problems followed administration of DPT vaccines. The results of the tests were published in Pediatrics, a respected medical journal. They were ignored by the medical and pharmaceutical community, who had a vested financial interest in continuing the practice.
In 1976, Charles Manclark, an FDA scientist, remarked that "the DPT vaccine had one of the worst failure rates of any product submitted to the Division of Biologics for testing." In 1992, the Institute of Medicine concluded that evidence is consistant with a casual relationship between DPT and acute encephalopathy. The neurological disorders that we now see are definitely increasing, as are death rates of children under 15 years from vaccines.
Avoid Flu Shots! – Alzheimer's And The Flu Vaccine
Research by Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, M.D., the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th most quoted biologist of our times (author of nearly 850 papers in peer reviewed journals), shows that individuals who had five consecutive flu shots between 1970 and l980 (the time of the study) have a ten times higher chance of getting Alzheimer's disease than if they had only one or two or no shots. How much clearer does it have to be? Is Alzheimer's on the rise? How many of you who are 50 and older can remember hearing about Alzheimer's 25 years ago? What happened? When did they start giving flu shots? It's all in the documentation.
Dr. Fudenberg claimed that the problem was due to the mercury and aluminum in every flu shot (and most childhood shots as well). The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction. Flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury. One microgram is considered toxic. (NVIC International Vaccine Conference, Arlington, VA September, 1997. Hugh Fudenberg, MD, is Founder and Director of Research, Neuro lmmuno Therapeutic Research Foundation.) The Johns Hopkins newsletter, l998, also predicted that Alzheimer's could quadruple in coming years.
Anthrax Vaccine
Sold by BioPort. Documented research shows that the anthrax vaccine is contaminated and in fact it doesn't work. It just destroys your immune system. Everyone gets panicky about anthrax. Have you ever been around a cow or a horse or on a farm? Anthrax is on every farm that exists in the world. So if you have ever been around a cow or a horse and you don't have anthrax, you have a natural immunity to it. So, why worry about being vaccinated? The best and the greatest safeguard you've got in the world is building a strong body and keeping it pure and clean. God said, "My spirit will not dwell in an unclean house."
Vaccine Ingredients
The list of ingredients which are the base substances in most vaccinations will make your blood start to boil. Mercury and aluminum, pus and sores of diseased animals. horse serum, calf serum, fecal matter, urine, and macerated cancer cells! Formaldehyde (embalming fluid), a preservative for the vaccine, a known carcinogen; a synthetic phenol, also a carcinogen, that may cause paralysis, convulsions, coma, necrosis and gangrene; Simian monkey virus No. 40 in polio vaccines. These are the major base ingredients that are used to formulate every vaccine. This is what they're putting in you when you get a flu shot and when your children get their vaccinations. Why would anyone want to put this into their blood?
Mercury Poisoning
By age two, American children have received 237 micrograms of mercury through vaccines alone, which far exceeds the EPA safe levels of 1/l0th of a microgram per kilogram per day. It is particularly toxic to infants. At birth they are given Hepatitis B containing 12 micrograms of mercury, 30 times safe levels. At four months, DPT containing 50 micrograms of mercury, 60 times safe levels. At six months, Hepatitis B and polio with 65.2 micrograms of mercury, 78 times above safe levels, and at 15 months another 50 micrograms, 4l times above the safe level. These figures are calculated for an infant's average weight in kilograms for each age. These one-day blasts of mercury are called bolus doses. There has never been any research conducted on the toxicity of such doses. My son is not vaccinated and he will never be. I will fight to the death before I allow it to happen if I have to take him to some foreign island in the South Pacific.
It is related to mercury poisoning. Mercury is found in every vaccine. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin and infants and young children are very vulnerable to the impacts of mercury because it can affect the developing brain. Dr. Candice Pert, internationally recognized pharmacologist, said that there has been an increase in autism of 500% to 600% in the last ten years. Compared to 20 years ago, there is an increase of 1,000%! And the disease is appearing in certain new forms such as regressive forms of autism where the children are initially fine, but regress when they're about a year and a half old, around the time they get the vaccines. Many mothers believe that the vaccines are responsible.
Editor's Note. WASHINGTON, March 27, 2003/U.S. Newswire. A new study of mercury in childhood vaccines demonstrates that the doses are in excess of the Federal Safety Guidelines and show alarming evidence for a link between these excessive doses of mercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopment disorders such as autism and speech disorders as well as heart disease. Those are the findings of the study published in the current issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons authored by Mark Geier, MD, PhD, President of the Genetic Centers of America and David Geier. The authors also conclude that the U.S. should ban the use of thimerosal in all vaccines. The authors point to exploding rates of autism since introduction of thimerosal in vaccines.
Travel Vaccines
I have travelled to just about every country in the world. I haven't been vaccinated yet, and I've never brought a disease back from any of those countries. There are some countries that say they require a vaccination in order to go there, but folks, it's a lie. For example: three years ago, you couldn't get a visa to go to Pakistan as an American unless you were vaccinated, but no vaccination is required from the land of Saudi Arabia , so we flew to Oman and got a visa from Oman to Pakistan.
Your body is a temple of God and when you vaccinate it, you have just violated it with the worst sin on the planet. How can you be a vessel when you put that deadly poison inside God's temple?
Toxins In Cosmetics And Body Care Products
Your skin is the largest absorbing organ of the entire body. What you put on your skin will be on it all day long absorbing and going into your blood stream. Folks, if you're not going to eat it, then don't wear it.
Do you brush your teeth with a toothpaste from the drug store? It's cheap, only $l.49. Then you spend the rest of your life going to the dentist paying thousands of dollars, and you wonder why you get flu, head colds, head congestion, failing eyesight and polyps in the nose. A major ingredient in a common standard toothpaste is sodium laurel sulfate which was created for degreasing engines on automobiles. It's a deadly toxic substance. Every single common toothpaste, shampoo, bar soap, shaving foam, after-shave, and lipstick contains sodium laurel sulfate. It is a very cheap material that is the base for most of the other ingredients. Researchers have linked sodium laurel sulfate with major allergies in children.
Another chief ingredient in skin and hair products is propylene glycol. Every single agent in these hair conditioners and other products are deadly chemicals with severe side effects. It's the same thing with shampoo. Sodium laurel sulfate is at the top of the list, and then propylene glycol, and yellow #5, SD&C; Red artificial colourings. These are all known allergens. How many people go to the doctor every year and have allergy shots because they have allergies and they don't know why.
Allergies are not a disease. Allergies are nothing more than your body saying, "I'm saturated with all these chemicals! Would you please just take me out and shoot me. I can't deal with it anymore". So it has a reaction. It hopes that you will just stop putting this crap on and into your body. Detoxify your body and your allergies are history.
Diaper ointment contains benzyl alcohol, paraffin, glycerol and propylene glycol. Are these not petrochemicals? Has anybody ever had anti-freeze on their hands? It burns like crazy. Propylene glycol is cheap. It's a stabilizer, a preservative, and it takes up anywhere from 50 to 60% of the ingredient volume! That's what's in your diaper ointment.
Don't put chemicals on your children. Love your children enough to either give them something pure or don't give them anything more than water. Don't let your body get chemicalized and the receptor sites impeded so that you can't replicate healthy living cells.
Become label readers. Start educating yourselves. We don't need chemicals, and we don't need drugs. We need what God created when he created this Earth. He gave us all the tools that we need to sustain life and protect us from these marauding diseases and viruses that have been created by man for money.
Essential Oil Products Are Edible
I made a hand and body lotion, and every single one of the ingredients can be eaten. You may not like the taste of it, but it may be the healthiest thing that you ingest all day. I use milk protein and phospholipids and amino acids and methionine with amino acids, gluco-proteins and essential oils, lavender, clary sage, lemon, and jasmine, herbal extracts and vitamins in my aroma silk conditioner. You could eat every single item there individually or collectively. I made Tender Tush for our children and for my son Jacob. In reality, I made it for mommies to prevent stretch marks. Women don't have to have stretch marks just because they have babies. When my son was born the first thing I did was cover his little body with frankincense oil and the entire umbilical cord with myrtle oil.
Longevity In Traditional Cultures
Old people in certain primitive countries like Hunza Land, Azerbaijan and Vilcabamba in Equador, were able to live to l40 and l60 years of age because they knew a few secrets. These people don't vaccinate their children. They don't take flu vaccines. They don't run to the doctor and the hospital every time the wind blows sideways. They do the things that they were taught by their ancestors. If they start feeling a little sick, they go off some food. Ever watch a dog when he gets sick? What does he do? He quits eating and he goes and starts eating grass. But what do we do when we get sick? Go to the hospital and get treated with jello and ice cream and 7-Up with seven teaspoons of sugar.
I visited these cultures and met people 100, 140, 160 years of age without a single thing wrong with them, still able to read the newspaper without glasses. All the people I met in these countries were farmers. They work and labour in the fields, chopping wood, milking cows, scrubbing clothes, moving the lymphatic fluid. They're still farming the old way, with a hand scythe, with horses or donkeys or oxen and they don't use chemicals. Chemicals are what's killing all of us. They're exercising, not a half-hour a day at the gym, but all day long, and the exercise stimulates the production of Human Growth Hormone. These people never had colds or coughs in their entire lives. Their eyes are bright, their skin is clear. They go mountain climbing at 130.
There are no secrets but there are lost and forgotten ways of life. In every country that I have visited, these old people all practiced fasting every year in the springtime for 30 days. It's not a total fast. They fast from daylight until dark and then they drink juices or eat fruit or vegetable soup during the evening.
During fasting, Human Growth Hormone secretes more than at any other time of your life. The only exception is during strength training where your body will produce even more Human Growth Hormone. Human growth hormone is the modulator for the immune system to keep you healthy and vital.
The other thing that is really critical is they eat foods that contain phos-phatidylserine compounds that are found in soy and foods that are high in Vitamin C.
The Inner Mongolian people actually have the longest history of continual longevity. One thousand years ago, their life expectancy was 120 years. Today their life expectancy is 120 years. It is the only country left in the world where the life expectancy has not declined with the introduction of the American diet. In Hunza Land, their life expectancy has dropped from 160 years to under l00 years. When I was there last year, all of the old people that I had met years ago were all dead. There are no more old people in Hunza Land and never will be ever again. The children had runny noses and were drinking soda pop. The great-great- great grandparents had never tasted soda pop in their lives. They wouldn't touch it, and it tore their hearts out to see their grandchildren and great-grandchildren eating these things they knew would kill them.
Essential Oils
Natural Immune Boosters With Anti-Infectious Properties
Essential oils were man's first medicine and they were used thousands of years ago. For many years, I believed that herbs were man's first medicine, but recent discoveries from Egyptian and Chinese scrolls show that oils were actually our first medicine. Herbs evolved as medicine when the peasants and slaves observed royalty using the oils with great success. Since they were restricted from using the oils, they started boiling and steeping the herbs and making teas and poultices.
Open your Bible to the book of Exodus and read about essential oils. Throughout the Bible it talks of these various oils and how they were used to protect the people. Hyssop is anti-viral and was used for cleansing the lepers and healing leprosy. Over 40 biblical references are written on hyssop alone. The garments smelled of myrrh and aloe which was sandalwood, not aloe vera. These oils contained anti-viral, anti-fungal and immune stimulating properties.
Stimulating The Immune System
Breathing an essential oil is very effective and can stimulate the immune system. Less volatile oils with heavier molecular weights like myrrh and frankincense remain much longer in the nasal cavity. Many oils, particularly those containing sesquiterpenes and phenols that are high in oxygen, will increase the oxygen around the pituitary and pineal glands as much as 28%.
Essential oils like methyl salicylate found in birch and wintergreen are highly anti-inflammatory.Thymol found in thyme bulgaris is 20 times stronger than phenol. Phenol carries one oxygen molecule and is found in many of the oils, but methyl salicylate carries two more.
Essential Oils Are Antibacterial, Antifungal And Antiviral
The essential oil works solely as the plant's immune defense-mechanism. They fight infection; they are antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral. Because essential oils have such a strong action against bacteria, viruses and fungus, they are highly effective against the viruses that are facing us today. Research in universities around the world has never found a virus that can mutate in the presence of certain essential oils, particularly oils high in limonene and phenols.
Grapefruit has the highest amount of limonenes. Also orange, tangerines, mandarin, lemon and white fir. Limonene which is a very potent anti-viral is now being studied at the University of Wisconsin as a cancer fighting agent by Dr. Michael Gould. Results show that it reversed breast cancer and reduced tumour growth by as much as 40% in laboratory animals. (Haag, J.D. and Gould, M.N. 1994. Mammary carcinoma regression induced by perillyl alcohol, a hydroxylated analog of limonene. Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 34:477-483.)
Human Growth Hormone
The anterior pituitary secretes two hormones that are very important for immune function: TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) and HGH (Human Growth Hormone). Deprivation of oxygen reduces the secretion of TSH and HGH by the anterior pituitary and increases depression. TSH and HGH play a joint role in modulating the immune function, which is very critical.
Lavender Oil Our lavender field in St. Mary's produces the greatest lavender oil in the world. Lavender oil contains phenols which contain oxygen molecules which increases the Human Growth Hormone outlets in the anterior pituitary. All you have to do is just breathe it. Very, very simple.
Peppermint Oil contains phenols. All you have to do is breathe it to increase the secretion of Human Growth Hormone. Human Growth Hormone is produced by the anterior pituitary, is converted in the liver to IGF-l and then goes to the pancreas to support immune function. Peppermint oil also contains sesquiterpenes which increase oxygen activity in the brain. European research shows that sesquiterpenes increase brain oxygen by as much as 21 to 28%.
Lemon Oil is anti-infectious and anti-bacterial and has Vitamin P-like action for circulation. It is calming to the nerves and stomach. It is good for diabetes because it helps regulate pancreatic function and insulin production. It is a great disinfectant and should be in the medicine cabinets in all hospitals. It can be used for respiratory infections, insufficient liver function and digestive conditions.
Thyme Oil is a mono-terpene and is very, very high in thymol which contains oxygen molecules that increase oxygen output in the brain. It's anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral and has a wide spectrum of action against fungus and virus. It's a uterine tonic and cardiotonic. Thymol can be used for sinus, osteoarthritis, bronchitis, cystitis, vaginitis, acne, cardiac fatigue, just simple little things.
Cloves have the highest known anti-oxidant properties.
Longevity Oil I created this because of its anti-oxidant properties. People in countries that have great longevity eat foods high in anti-oxidants. This oil blend contains thyme, a powerful anti-oxidant which prevents degeneration in the brain, eyes and heart according to research in Scotland and Austria.
Longevity Kit – This kit contains ingredients that are essential to supporting Human Growth Hormone output, conversion and assimilation, maintenance of proteins and the activity of enzymes in the body.
Wolfberry Juice is a natural anti-oxidant that has preserved the longevity of people in Inner Mongolia who today have maintained the most consistent life expectancy free of disease. The Natural Science Institute in Beijing, China began a study in 1982 and researchers who went there did not find cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, MS, or any degenerative disease amongst the people in the villages where Wolfberry was consumed on a daily basis. Wolfberry contains 15% protein by weight and three times as much vitamin C as oranges.
Berry Young Juice One ounce is equivalent to 1/4 to 1/2 a pound of berries. When I went to Inner Mongolia to do my research, people who ate between one-quarter to one-half a pound of Wolfberries daily were disease free and had never experienced disease in eleven generations that we could research.
Ultra Young is a spray for the bucal cavity with the Wolfberry Lycium Polysaccharide which stimulates the production of Human Growth Hormone.
Cortisol gets rid of waste. The common factor that allows people to live to be 150 years old disease-free is cortisol and the foods that produce cortisol. But when you're under stress, the cortisol levels increase, and when cortisol is too high it blocks the HGH receptors and therefore depresses the immune function. Three cups of coffee a day will raise your cortisol levels to a high point for 18 hours and suppress your immune system during that time. Seven teaspoons of sugar will increase your cortisol levels by 300 to 400 times. The latest research in the U.S. shows that the average child consumes 40 tsp. of sugar per day. One can of soda pop contains seven to 12 tsp. sugar. Chocolate does the same thing in any form. One 30 mg. tablet of Prozac will double your cortisol levels. Vaccines increase cortisol. Phos-phatidylserine, a compound found in vitamin C in citrus and fruits high in vitamin C works as a natural cortisol blocker.
How To Use The Oils Most Effectively
There are multiple ways. You can diffuse them in the air and inhale them. But the simplest and most effective way is to put one to two drops on the bottom of your feet. morning and night when you get out of bed, after your shower and before you go to bed. You don't need more than three drops of any one of those oils on the bottom of your feet. Peppermint oil can be diffused or you can rub a drop in your nose. Peppermint oil is fantastic for reducing fevers. Nothing that you can find in a pharmacy will break a fever quicker than peppermint oil. Peppermint oil has also been studied as a weight loss control mechanism. It smells good and it's yummy. Breathing peppermint will decrease the desire to eat, because it creates a sensation of being full.
The chemicals that we put into our bodies interfere with the conversion of cholesterol into hormones. Our research has shown that essential oils, particularly the phenol and thymol families, will literally digest the petrochemicals and clean up those receptor sites so that the hormone can fit into the receptor site and carry out its normal function. Thyme, mountain savory, oregano, lavender, peppermint and lemon oil are very high in phenols. You may order Young Living Oils and Products by contacting Consumer Health at 416-490-0986.

Special News Bulletin
Organic Food Standards Gutted With One Stroke Of The President's Pen
In a week when news of the war eclipsed all other news, a small inconspicuous article reported a HUGE change in organic food laws. The article reports that in February, 2003, United States Congress voted to gut the nation's organic food standards, NO LONGER REQUIRING that organic livestock be given feed that is 100% organic.
How could this happen? It took one request by Tom Hensley, vice-president of Fieldale Farms, a large poultry grower in Georgia who found the all-vegetable diet to be "extremely burdensome for chicken producers". He complained that organic grain was too expensive.
The new law allows producers to give their animals conventional feed with antibiotics and pesticides and STILL LABEL THE MEAT ORGANIC.
President Bush signed the measure into law. No discussion, no debate, no consumer input, all for the sake of one large poultry grower wanting to take advantage of the higher prices he could charge for the "organic" label without actually providing anything organic.

text: sshede Posted April 26, 2012 I did a few searches but couldn't come up with anything, so sorry if this has been brought up before.I bought this application months ago, but haven't used it because I use m3u playlist files. I open Poweramp, choose a playlist, select my first song, and the Now Playing UI ignores my playlist and begins to play through my entire library. I can't find anything in the settings related to this, and I have no idea how to fix it. I realize I can just add the playlist to the queue and just play from there, but I change playlists out at red lights while I'm driving, so loading the queue, going to it, then clearing the queue, picking a playlist, loading it, then going back to it takes much longer than 1) Select Playlist, 2) Choose Song on UberMusic or Google Play Music.Anyone have a fix for this?

text: Phone Hacking: Scotland Yard Wants to Question Rupert Murdoch (Report) 12:38 AM PDT 6/25/2014 by Georg Szalai FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images Rupert Murdoch Leaving Court Looking Down - H 2013 Following a guilty verdict against former "News of the World" editor Andy Coulson, "The Guardian" reports that the mogul would be interviewed as a suspect in an investigation into alleged crime at his company's U.K. newspapers. LONDON – London Metropolitan Police, also known as Scotland Yard, has told News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch that its detectives want to interview the media mogul as a suspect in an investigation into alleged crime at his company's U.K. newspapers, according to The Guardian. It reported that London police first contacted Murdoch last year, but agreed to a request from his legal team to wait until the phone hacking trial was finished. PHOTOS Rupert Murdoch's Family Photos On Tuesday, the jury in the trial returned first verdicts, including a guilty verdict on one phone hacking conspiracy charge against former News of the World editor and former top lieutenant at News Corp's U.K. newspaper unit Andy Coulson. The jury cleared former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks on all charges. The Murdoch interview is expected to take place in the near future in Britain and be conducted "under caution," a legal warning given to suspects, The Guardian reported. The paper said son James Murdoch, the former chairman of the Murdoch company's U.K. newspaper arm and now co-COO of 21st Century Fox, may also be questioned. PHOTOS Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng Through the Years The guilty verdict for Coulson, who is also awaiting the jury decision on two bribery charges, and the interview request may threaten News Corp's U.K. arm, News UK, with a possible corporate charge, according to the Guardian report. Such a charge could occur only if the "controlling minds" of the company are found to be guilty of a crime, the paper said. A News UK representative and Scotland Yard declined to comment.
