HMA is one of the most recycled products in the U.S. It is estimated that as much as 91 million tonnes (100 million tons) of HMA are milled off roads during resurfacing and widening projects each year (APA, 2001a{{1}}). Of this amount, 73 million tonnes (80 million tons) are recycled as "reclaimed asphalt pavement" (RAP – see Figure 1) (APA, 2001a{{1}}). RAP is typically generated by rehabilitation or reconstruction projects and can be used in a variety of ways such as:
- As an addition to regular HMA.
- As an aggregate in cold-mix asphalt.
- As a granular base course when pulverized.
- As a fill or embankment material.
HMA recycling can be divided into two basic categories based on the recycling methods used: hot recycling and cold recycling. This section presents the basic recycling process as well as typical uses and considerations for each of these recycling methods.
Hot Recycling
Hot recycling is so named because RAP is used as an aggregate in HMA (hot mix asphalt). In hot recycling, old HMA pavement is removed, broken down into aggregate-sized chunks and then incorporated into new HMA as an aggregate. There are two basic methods for accomplishing this:
Cold Recycling
Cold recycling is so named because RAP is used as an aggregate in cold mix asphalt. In cold recycling, old HMA pavement is removed, broken down into aggregate-sized chunks and then combined with an emulsified or foamed asphalt. This mix is then typically used as a stabilized base course for reconstructed pavements. There are two basic cold recycling methods:
- Cold Plant Mix Recycling
- Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR)
CIR can also be extended to the full pavement as Full Depth Reclamation (FDR):

Stephen Baldwin Fan Tries to 'Restore' Bankrupt Star
Stephen Baldwin Fan Tries to 'Restore' Bankrupt Star
He's a fan of Stephen Baldwin, but not of him as the big-name Hollywood actor. This fan appreciates Stephen Baldwin as the evangelist, who gave up fame and fortune and suffered bankruptcy to testify about Christ.
Lyn Fletcher, a Christian businessman from Florida, is the founder of the website Restore Stephen Baldwin. Fletcher said he was "grieved" to find out that the youngest Baldwin brother (all four brothers are Hollywood actors) was having financial trouble and had filed for bankruptcy.
He created the site – the idea of which came about in August – because he thought many Christians would be interested in giving a token of appreciation to help the struggling actor-turned-evangelist.
"[The token giving] is something similar to a greeting card or something small like that just to say we appreciate what you are doing and the stand you are taking for Christ and here's a token of our appreciation," Fletcher said Tuesday.
The idea for the name and concept of the site came from Job 42:10-11, which says everyone who knew Job "came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring."
The token gifts helped restore Job, the site's founder said. He hopes such giving will also restore Baldwin, who told Fletcher he suffered a 70 percent drop in income after he came to Christ because he refused to accept roles in movies that had excessive violence or sex.
Fletcher became a fan of Baldwin back in March 2008 while watching "The Celebrity Apprentice." He said he admired Baldwin's boldness for Christ while on the show.
Exclusive Op-eds from the Presidential Campaigns
"I view him as almost a missionary on their side of the red carpet, on the celebrity side of the rope," Fletcher said. "It's just uncommon to have someone so outspoken for Christ, so sincere."
When asked how much the site has raised so far, the site's founder said he does not know because the donations go directly to Baldwin.
"Even celebrities, they have feelings and they need to know they are appreciated," Fletcher noted. "A lot of people say maybe he lives in a nicer house than they do, but we still need to have positive influence in Hollywood because in my opinion Hollywood has more influence than Washington, D.C. on our culture."

The 13 Scariest Movies Ever!
Who is waiting for you to visit!
Honorable mentions and what qualified.
Movie goers love to be frightened, and all of these made many of us jump! Whether on Earth or in outer space, the movies that made it here made us shrink or scream.
These are not necessarily the best horror movies, but the scariest. This list is more about the chills you get and not what's in the bargain bin at second hand stores!
First, the honorable mentions.
I hated to leave off movies like an -American Werewolf in London- As an enormous and fierce beast rips through England, a young American has a terrifying experience filled with nightmares. Ghost Story(1979), Final Destination,Texas Chainsaw...,Jaws, Dawn of the Dead, Sleepaway Camp 1982- Though she was 12 when they shot this, Felissa Rose was excellent in this. Please go to my list: The 13 best Slashers of all time for the full write up and psych profile. and a few others were very hard to leave off. But that's how lists of the best of all times are! The Terminator also came close. Very little is scarier than an unstoppable force on a mission.
October is here and Halloween is near!
13. The Blair Witch Project- This was terrifying, especially for those who saw it before the news broke out that this was not a project, but a staged and rehearsed movie. It was still frightening and made me jump several times, and when it was over, I locked the doors. Though the ending wasn't necessarily a surprise or shocking, it was absolutely horrifying! This has one of the creepiest endings ever.
A deleted scene from the 1931 version.
Don't go camping on the 13th!
The Disturbing Dozen!
12. The Thing- (1982) Kurt Russell, Keith David, Wilfred Brimley and the rest were excellent as they are attacked by a strange alien force. This was creepy and unpredictable. Some of the scenes broke new ground and were terrifying. I could have lived without the prequel...and just about everything starring Joel Edgerton. However this 80's classic will never be out done by c.g.i.! The Thing from Another World 1951, was great but not nearly as scary.
11. The Omen!- The acting in the original was just as awesome as the suspense and terror were! The little boy seemed so innocent and gentle, when in reality he was.... well you know!
10. Candyman- The part that Tony Todd was born for! The sequel was terrible but everything about the first one, was terrifying! This one was deeper than slashers and you really have to pay attention to the unfolding plot and build up to the finale. The ghoul in this one wasn't just relentless, he was clever and always one step ahead! I loved this one!
9. Halloween- Michael Meyers is born to be bad. Many of the sequels were flops, but Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence, made us believe in this awful nightmare with the terrifying music.
8. The Exorcist- The Evil One destroys beauty everywhere It goes! Linda Blair was too beautiful to play this role, but she was still outstanding, and ... possessing! (bad joke)
7. The Ring- The lonely Samara was an unloved girl who was murdered by her own family. Nope, she has not forgotten! A new family is....well....something she will kill for! This is the newest movie on my list.
6. Frankenstein- When Boris Karloff brought this freak of nature to life, the creep ran wild and terrorized a countryside. It was one of the scariest and most suspenseful scenes ever, when the monster first came out of the lab, and turned around.
5. Alien- A terrifying force waits for a mining crew in the far reaches of outer space. They first see it when it explodes from a crew member's abdomen! This scared all watchers, as no movie like this had ever been released before 1979. F.Y.I., sadly, Prometheus stunk!
4. The Shining- Here's Johnny! Jack Nicholson was terrifying in this one. When he passes away, he will be remembered for this role and The Joker more than the rest.
3. Friday the 13th- A terrorizing murderer had a face that only a mother could love. Before Jason changed American movie theaters like no other killer, his mother changed camping forever! Like mother, like son. A young Kevin Bacon bought it in this one before anyone even knew who he was.
What was so creepy wasn't the murder scenes, it was when Jason's spirit possessed her. That is when she had this creepy, terrifying voice, and look on her face. This was horror at a much different level!
2. A Nightmare on Elm Street- Freddie was a disgusting, evil murderer and that was before he was burned to death and became the demon of nightmares on your street!
And now for number one!
Two legends team up in this psychological masterpiece!
1. Psycho- Speaking of some one who had "mommy issues" Norman wants you to meet his.This movie was a double edged sword with a double sided killer waiting for all of us to check in to the Bates Motel.Hollywood would never be the same after Alfred Hitchcock put his stamp on it!
What is the scariest movie? If you say other, please post it in the comment section.

- A brief history of American Horror Cinema.
For over 100 years, Creeps and freak have owned the silver screen. Do you know who the first one was?
Interesting list. The one I consider scariest is probably The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, closely followed by The Exorcist. But still, interesting list with some interesting choices.
I have respect for you for putting Candyman on this list, I feel like a lot of people think it was not worth seeing but it was good and more importantly scary. Out of Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers- Michael Myers always scares me the most and I actually enjoy the more recent Halloween movies they made whereas the Freddy and Jason ones are more (unintentionally) funny than scary.
Great list!
I think the first Final Destination was pretty scary because it could actually happen! The movie franchise went downhill after that! Great list Mike!
Great list! The nightmare scene in American Werewolf in London gets me every time!
my favorite scary movie is 'saw' series
Wow! This was great. You didn't put the cookiee cutter choices in your list. Probably because you put thought into this.Frankenstein, Candyman, and American Werewolf, would have been left out by many.
Alien and the Omen freaked me out big time! Good list!
definitely a solid list... surprised no vampire movies made the list, or zombies (dawn of the dead), but hey, it's not my list, lol... there are so many great horror flicks out there though; past and even some coming out presently, it's almost impossible to satisfy everyone elses opinions... but certainly a lot of greats in there... i'm just really glad that there wasn't a bunch of the "gore" films that are super bloody overkill, but more commical then scary because of it... the shining and exorcism are perfect examples that "more gore" certainly does not necessarily equal more scary...
Ooo, I love your list of scariest movies. I have seen these. Most of them anyway...the part where I take my hands off my eyes! :0) Good list.
I saw a few of these. Frankenstein was always a favorite. Tho sometimes scary movies give me nightmares. LOL Good lineup!
Good list. I agree with the top 9 choices you picked. "Psycho" is an all-time classic. "Franksenstein" is a favorite of mine.
I always saw "Scream" as more of a horror parody. "Final Destination" never impressed me very much. "The Terminator" seems more of an action/sci-film to me, rather than a scary one.
I'd have included "The Exorcist", "Silence of the Lambs" and "the Wolfman".

In fact, chances are we won't after the manufacturer gets through adding a touchscreen overlay, application processor, and radio chipset. Let's hope for a surprise though, whenever these panels do make it out for mass production... assuming anyone still cares about monochrome E Ink displays by then.

Gnathostomiasis from raw fish is a growing problem, manifested by tiny worms that burrow under our skin and, in rare cases, can get into our eyes and brain.
Migratory Skin Worms from Sushi
Doctor's Note
This is like my Tongue Worm in Human Eye or Cheese Mites and Maggots videos. Extremely rare, but extremely fascinating (to me at least!). There is one parasitic infection that is much more common and a major cause of disability worldwide, neurocysticercosis:
- Pork Tapeworms on the Brain
- Avoiding Epilepsy Through Diet
- Chronic Headaches and Pork Tapeworms
- Not So Delusional Parasitosis
I think the only other sushi videos I have are Fecal Contamination of Sushi and Allergenic Fish Worms, though the nori is good for you (Which Seaweed is Most Protective Against Breast Cancer? and Avoiding Iodine Deficiency).

I like to make sushi at home with just cucumber and avacado or tofu and bean sprouts. Tastes great and no brain worms. =D
Right! You get the same sushi "experience" without the worms or food poisoning.
or the cruelty of catching/killing fish -which often also entails torturing/killing other animals- and the very real possibility that they were caught by human slaves.
and Human slaves are sometimes bent over and spanked with a leather whip!!!
Is that an attempt to be humorous? There's nothing funny about slavery or animal cruelty.
This must make even the biggest sushi fan think twice!
Not really.
makes me think twice
If you eat vegetable maki rolls made at a sushi bar, is there any chance of the workers who make them having the worms on their hands or on the countertops and getting them into the veggie rolls?
I dont think this a common disease. On the other hand I am sure that you will get all kinds of goodies from the fish that they prepare in the same place…
Hi Irene. Dr. Greger says there's never been a published case report of that ever happening.
Let me see if I can follow your logic. What you're saying is that there was never a case of Bubonic Plague before it was published?
I Think The Workers Are Required To Wear Gloves Just For That Reason…Health Department Regulations…
This is a bit misleading. Properly prepared sushi fish is frozen, then thawed, prior to service, and that should take care of any living organism. The same thing is accomplished when you cook fish, which of course harbors the same organisms. Did you know you eat cooked worms when you eat fish?
In any case, this is just one more reason to stick to veggies.
Al Davis
I've heard this before – but freezing doesn't kill all living organisms. I mean even when you freeze other flesh, the freezing of it doesn't kill the bad bacteria you still have to cook it or risk e-coli etc….
Can someone answer if freezing the fish makes any difference to these worms?
From this brief review:
Freezing (-4°F (-20°C) or below (internal or external) for 7 days or -31°F(-35°C) or below (internal) for 15 hours) of fish intended for raw consumption also kills parasites. FDA's Food Code recommends these freezing conditions to retailers who provide fish intended for raw consumption.
Its fairly alarming that Anisaksis simplex is extremely common in some fish species (eg 87% of wild salmon), and some is processed with inadequate freezing and cooking temperatures. The major danger from sushi is still probably the mercury in predatory species.
"Flash freezing" is the proper sort of freezing for fish to be eaten uncooked as it doesn't muck up the texture as does "regular" freezing. Don't eat discount sushi! Yes I have, but ne'er again. Never even consider eating freshwater fishes uncooked.
Pay for the good stuff by the best chefs, that should keep your consumption reasonable! (if you roll that way)
It is good to have guidelines but they must be followed… proper technique, trained personnel, proper calibrated equipment, etc. Of course you can lower the likelihood of getting a food borne illness by not eating animal products and washing your veggies, fruits, starches and beans well.
The devil is in the details. For those interested in blood pressures you can read a nice article on the proper technique in The Permanente Journal, Summer 2009, The Importance of Accurate Blood Pressure Measurement by Joel Handler. You can find on Pubmed. Reading this article makes you wonder if you have ever had an accurate blood pressure measurement. BP measurements should be done in quiet setting after resting for 3 minutes, with both feet on floor, no talking or active listening, proper cuff size, arm supported at heart level, back supported, with automated cuff… see article for additional discussion and consideration. The devil is in the details.
Wow. Based on that, I'm pretty sure I've never had an accurate blood pressure measurement. Wow.
Yeah, i've played with blood pressure cuffs on my own. I could pretty much dial in any reading I wanted (via posture/position/attitude changes). Not sure how that applies to flash freezing.
Another way this is misleading is the parasites this video refers to are found in FRESHWATER organisms.
the fish should be frozen at a very low temperature before being served but who knows if it's been done?
Al you need to take a course in microbiology. Freezing does not kill most bacteria or parasites otherwise after the last Ice Age most of the world's bacteria would have been killed.
Ed, you need to pay closer attention to this video, because first of all, nobody is claiming that freezing kills bacteria. Only parasites, worms, and other less robust living organisms. Second, there are different types of parasites and different degrees of freezing. Not just any variety of freezing will kill all kinds of parasites. But the temperature and duration of freezing recommended for sushi grade fish does kill the kind of parasites commonly found in said fish.
Of note, it is felt that the parasite is not transmitted by eating sushi in the U.S. and Western Europe because typically the more expensive saltwaterfish are used. Also there are more stringent regulations in those areas on sourcing and storage of fish that are to be eaten by humans.
Good point. Many of these studies from Thailand, but the two case reports were here in North America (Mexico and San Francisco, California). I may add that many sushi joints are fairly inexpensive, as there seems to be more interest dining on raw fish in the U.S. Isn't there even some that have revolving trays? I always wonder how long the sushi was sitting on the line before someone eats it.
As far as eating raw plants, what about the wild animals, – chickens, cattle, rabbits, horses, etc. that much on plants all day, and these plants are full of worms and bugs, insects etc. How are these outdoor animals able to deal with exposure to obviously a lot of parasites? It almost seems natural that humans once consumed a lot of raw bugs, insects, worms, when they foraged.
Gosh not sure!? I think this migrating skin worm found in fish is different from other parasites.
Have never eaten sushi and never will. But just curious: could any species of fish carry these critters or are some more likely than the others?
Good question. The studies varied from Dr. Greger's video. Some looked at wild and farmed eel, others at freshwater fish and raw sushi. So from these studies it looks like eel, fresh water fish (areas where eating freshwater raw fish ("cebiche") is customary), and raw sushi (all types of raw fish).
If you eat seafood please opt exclusively for the many marvelous vegan versions, for your sake as well as that of other animals and the environment, : http://fishfeel.org/seafoodresources.php
Or MANGO ROLLS!! MMMMmmm
I knew all that raw fish couldn't be good….I mean just look at the water!
This video reminds me of my favorite scary TV show "MONSTERS INSIDE ME"….
Not long after seeing this I visited my daughter and son-in-law in TX. He made a special dish of fish called "ceviche". You cook the fish in lemon juice.
I only found out later that the fish should be frozen for about 7 days to kill worms, but it doesn't kill bacteria.
Then after that he took us all out on his boat to doing some skiing in this very warm lake. I had to decline doing that (just went for the ride and did some safe beer drinking instead) after learning about the brain eating Amoeba Meningoencephalitis, the brain eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri that … It can cause a rare** and devastating infection of the brain called … The ameba is commonly found in warm freshwater (e.g. lakes, rivers,
The brain-eating amoeba that killed a 9-year-old Kansas girl last week is an organism that thrives in warm fresh water.
So bottom line, my son-in-law put us all at great risk of getting worms and an amoeba all in less than 2 days…
Also risk of getting flute worms from eating his under boiled crawfish.
The half-inch, oval-shaped parasitic worms at the root of the infection primarily travel from the intestine to the lungs. They also can migrate to the brain, causing severe headaches or vision problems, or under the skin, appearing as small, moving nodules.
Some of the patients had been in and out of the hospital for months as physicians tried to diagnose their mysterious illness and treat their symptoms, which also included a buildup of fluid around the lungs and around the heart. One patient even had his gallbladder removed, to no avail.
Also told him next time at least freeze the fish before cooking with lemon juice. The boy has got alot to learn…
correction, that should be "fluke worms"
Flukes are flat worms. Parasitic flukes live in the intestine, tissue or in the blood. Their life cycle begins when molluscs such as snails get infected with fluke .
Hi. I am confused in general regarding fish consumption, raw or otherwise. Last week MSN posted an article from a site called Natural Health that said researchers from the University of Southern California and the National University of Singapore found that postmenopausal women who ate an average of 1.5 to 3 oz of fish or shellfish daily were 26% less likely to develop breast cancer during the 5 years of the study than those who ate less seafood. Yet Dr Greger has often cited fish consumption as a possible contributor to cancer. So which is it?
My lay opinion: "News" programming is the absolute worst place to gather any dietary information. Ever. It is not in their interest to provide answers, but to sway opinions, create confusion, distractions, angst, etc., and more "tuning in"/ratings.
Dr. Greger appears to be genuinely interested in helping us understand the facts revealed by the research in order to make good decisions that help us, and ultimately our species survive the nutritional nightmare we have allowed to develop. I think the bulk of his work we see here represents exactly that. I trust Michael Greger to give me the facts as he diligently dredges them out of the reported research.
I won't always completely agree (as I'm not 100% anti-animal anything), and I think he has a bit to learn about cannabis, but I'll TRUST the work here 100x more than ANYthing any news company will ever report. I'm not biased, I dislike them all. 8-P
That said, from these very NutritionFacts I have come to believe that the most pervasive problem with fishes is dioxins and mercury content which can be much WORSE in "farm-raised" fish than wild-caught (contaminated feeds). There are dozens of videos here that the pescetarian (or those so inclined) should see. Cheers!
Of course, the news doesn't have the opportunity to pick and choose which studies they report on, they report on all of them even the ones that might be wrong or only relevant in certain situations, and the "news" just reports one line from a very intense and complicated paper that cannot be summed up in one line.
This site on the other hand, hand go through and pick and choose the studies that back up a narrow viewpoint and give vegans the opportunity to say "I told you so" to those of us who eat meat.
In other words, this site is about as trustworthy as the "news."
I don't know from what well of truth you are drinking, but the "news" MOST CERTAINLY does select and chose EXACTLY which stories it runs. Otherwise it'd all be the same. (like it used to almost be, pre-internet).
By all means eat what you want. Just try to understand the ramifications. If you are able to compile compelling arguments on the "meat" side. Please share them. I would be interested to read up.
Yes, this site is all about "facts" that point away from meat. I'm sharp like a razor off the strop, and would love to go back. Compel me with good evidence. Thanks!
Really? You think the air head that reads the news on my local station is discriminatory on what scientific paper she reports on? No, just like everything else, they are reading, nearly word for word, a press release. And I realize that this site is about facts that point away from meat–and I am not judging the content or the motives of the site, but it does, by its own admission, have a bias for vegan and vegetarian lifestyle.
I am going to guess that there are plenty of contradictory studies that the editors of this site decides not to mention. I am in no way trying to convince you to eat meat. I am, however, asking you to think critically and not to get your information from one source.
Yes, quite correctly, the "news" reader has no choice, but there is a layer or three of management above the bobble-head that decides what goes onto the air, which reports, which releases, which everything. It is all _very carefully_ orchestrated.
I've been critically gathering information for over 30 years. Dr. MG is only one of my sources. Thanks.
Oh and then there are the results my body gives me. Those are fairly powerful indicators of what works best for me. I actually am one of the "odd ones" here as I won't fully renounce animal products. But I was never this healthy eating them daily. Cheers.
There is a possible problem of confounding here. People who eat fish daily are likely to eat it in place of eg red meat, processed meats or other unhealthy foods which have been liked with increased rates of breast cancer. Fish eaters are also probably more health-conscious and perhaps eat a healthier diet and have a healthier lifestyle overall . As a consequence, any association with lower risk may be due to such confounding factors.
Alternatively, it may be linked to particular components of fish such as Omega 3 EPA/DHA (some fish oil studies have apparently shown that fish oil may be protective against certain types of breast cancer).
However, fish can be contaminated with heavy metals (as can fish oils) which promote cancer. It's therefore probably safer to consume omega 3/DHA/EPA from vegetarian sources. Also, the 7th Day Adventist studies appear to show that strict vegetarians (vegans) have a lower overall cancer risk than "vegetarians" who consume fish (pesco-vegetarians).
In brief then, I don't see any cancer advantage to eating fish compared to a strict, well-planned vegetarian diet. See the video of Dr Greger's 2003 talk about the potential pitfalls of poorly planned vegetarian diets:
Thank you. I just watched the video, and it seems the main criticism of fish is not that it's so bad in and of itself but that it's so contaminated, which is a pretty good reason not to eat it. It was good to have that doubt cleared up. Again, thanks.
It depends on what kind of research study. Can you share the link? Hard to say the benefits vs the risks of fish in regards to cancer. What we know is certain fish (and now this migrating skin worm) have loads of pollutants that have been shown to increase cancer risk. Fish contain zero fiber and very little antioxidants. There are so many videos and blogs about fish that there is reason to be concerned. Limiting or avoiding may be warranted, but of course you have to make up your own mind what's best.
Thank you for your response. I tried looking for it–I guess it was posted on May 29–but am not computer-savvy enough to find it. I was surprised by the findings, but as Dr. Greger's 2003 talk (shared above by Tom Goff) suggested, the results may be due to Omega 3 intake, which can be found in safer sources such as flax.
Right! If you find let me know. And keep in mind fish only have so much omega-3 fats. Sockeye salmon has almost as much saturated fat as polyunsaturated fat and 30% of it's calories come from fat. Not such a "health food" if you break down the nutrients.
I'm vegetarian … however…what about the Japanese? Have they been overburdened with Gnathostomiasis over the last few thousands of years? I wonder if it's to do with how food is transported, stored and prepared nowadays. There are vegetables that are dangerous to eat under certain conditions. Traditional foods tend to have protocol that come from centuries of trial and error; for example, wasabi has many protective properties, like anti-fungal ones… but it happens that most U.S. sushi bars don't serve it. Instead they serve artificially-colored horseradish. I'm sure the way that modern mass-marketed sushi bars prepare sushi is not in keeping with these traditions.
The Japanese chefs train for approx 10 years altogether or 15 yrs if I remember correctly, including health & safety measures. Real sushi is not cheap and traditionally it was only eaten as a feast during an auspicious occasion, not bought at a cafe or a supermarket for $10 for lunch, which we now see.
Yeah, I enjoy sushi so rarely that my chances are probably significantly less than getting struck by lightning. Probably keep doing that. Wasabi and Saki to protect me! Sometimes you gotta just say "Damn the Wormpedoes, Full Speed Ahead!" Or not. Do Your Own Thing. (DYOT).
Is it true that the restaurants freeze the fish, so these worms die?
Is smoked salmon considered raw fish?
What are safe fish choices nowadays? West Coast – Fukushima, Gulf Coast – Corexit.
A little off topic here, but I thought it was interesting. A Texan turned vegan, now that's big news…lol
In case you missed Beyoncé's big announcement this morning on Good Morning America, let us fill you in: the singer opened up about her vegan diet, The 22-Day Revolution, and revealed the meal plan is responsible for her weight loss.
Sound familiar? That's because it's the same diet Bey has been promoting since February when she announced her partnership with nutritionist and exercise physiologist Marco Borges.
"I am not naturally the thinnest. I have curves. I'm proud of my curves and I have struggled since a young age with diets and finding something that actually works, actually keeps the weight off, has been difficult for me," Jay Z's wife said in a clip airing this morning on GMA, which was advertised as the "first time" she's spoken out on camera about the diet.
22 Day Diet sounds like a fad diet to me. True health and weight loss is due to a consistent healthy diet and exercise. I don't really know about the diet itself, but there are some basic facts to a healthy life (everything else seems to be extra credit): Exercise regularly, avoid processed grains and sugars, eat mostly plants, supplement occasionally with real meats (if you'd like).
I wouldn't call a vegan diet a "fad diet". The reason the author calls it the 22 Day Revolution is because it takes about 21 days of doing something before it becomes a new habit.
And now after doing it Beyonce is seeing some good healthy weight loss and general health benefits like better skin. We all know how important that is to aging women and now men.
So now she is more likely to keep up the good results of eating cleaner and the vegan way. The diet also includes exercise.
It is probably unlike the other "fad diets" she's been on like millions of women are struggling with the same problem.
Oh that's just great isn't it ! "creeping eruptions" and "swimming in your eye balls"….
Thankfully I gave up Sushi many years ago , and now that I've seen the lovely photos I'm more than happy to stick with
avocado and cucumber sushi.
Sorry to be a pedant but this is in fact not about sushi, but about sashimi. Sushi is vinegared rice served with various other things, which may or may not include raw fish. Raw fish is sashimi. Stick with the sushi -just forgo the sashimi. http://kitchen-myths.com/2011/03/30/sushi-means-raw-fish/
i think vegetables is a good for health
I was wondering what computer program Dr. Greger uses to make these videos?
cured me of any sushi desires that i never had in the first place.
Very misleading, as all sashimi and sushi must be frozen first in the U.S.! Not dangerous and would be worth the risk if it was.
This Is Why I Refuse To Eat Sashimi (Raw Fish Or Meats Of Any Kind)….Love The California Rolls… NO RAW SEA FOODS OR OTHER Raw MEATS!!!
LOL at all the folks worried about worms in fish. Like there's never been worms on vegetables…
Dear Doctor, thank you for this video. Is there any scientific literature on parasites infection from raw fruit and veggie? (I am following a raw vegan diet..) thanx
Here in Montreal, we now have a sushi place that has a specific vegan menu, with vegan dumplings, a great selection of vegan rolls (spicy sweet potato sush maki, anyone?) made with veganaise. We take-out from them twice a month … As mentioned by another poster, no brain worm, no cruelty, no mercury, and all the taste veggies can muster …
After watching this, I am ending my consumption of Ahi Tuna or any fish for that matter. Nothing can stop my scientifically backed diet! Nothing!
yuck I wont touch raw fish I don't know how people can eat that stuff nasty..
I'm transitioning to a vegan life style, I know it's healthier. Diabetis runs in the family I don't want it.I'm insulin resistant and need to get it under-control while I can. my family isn't very supportive of this new change but it's for health reasons.
Kitty: It can be so hard when family is not supportive of ones choices, especially when you are doing something for your health. While you can't get a new family, you can hopefully find a supportive group or two to hang out with. Getting moral support can make your effort so much easier. You might start seeing if you can find a vegan group in your area on the Meetup site. Or ask around at any vegetarian friendly restaurants near you.
You are very smart to work to fix this problem before you have full blown diabetes. If you want some great tips and recipes, I recommend Dr. Neal Barnard's Program For Reversing Diabetes.
Good luck!
I'll definitely keep sticking to vegan sushi after this.
SUSHI /OUCH:https://www.facebook.com/wayne.m.diotte/posts/635174003232574
Hidden Scary Sushi Ingredients Exposed SO VERY grateful for this article. We at macrobiotics.ca have been calling it [with respect to all of our Asian friends, clients and public] "Asian junk food" for many years. Tasty as it may seem definitely not recommended when trying to create good health and vitality. #toyourgreatlife
Hello there,
Where I live fish always comes to the store frozen.. the most common argument I hear is that this (and other worms) can't effect us because they are 'killed' from freezing. Is there any truth to this or can you have a reaction of some kind to worms in fish, frozen or not?
Aside from the minute risk of parasites and what not from fish that was improperly prepared, is sushi (or any raw meat) harmful? I only ask because it seems as though there is plenty of damning evidence against cooked meat, but have there been any studies showing the same dangers in raw meat?
I understand that raw meat brings with it a host of other dangers (parasites, ecoli, etc etc), but is there anything about the meat itself that is detrimental to health? I mean humans, and most animals, evolved over millions of years to consume raw meat, raw eggs, raw fish etc. COuld it be that it's the cooking process, and not the meat itself, that is so unhealthy? You just don't see a lot of wild animals dying of heart disease is all I'm sayin.
Scott- You are correct in identifying the dangers from raw meat, but now you need to learn about the dangers of cooked meat and reading this topic summary will get you started: https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/meat/ Do check out all the links which will provide you an abundance of evidence of the health risks of eating meat, raw or now. Keep viewing this website to continue learning.
I think I just puked a bit into my mouth.
Speaking of parasites that burrow under the skin (though less nutrition-related), can anyone here comment on useful scabies cures?
I'd be reluctant to apply pesticides externally or internally, especially if there were working alternatives. Looking around the Internet so far, I haven't seen any alternatives that don't invite skepticism.

Used to eat sushi a lot with friends at any place, but now 1-2 times a year only at best restaurants that with perfect food safety inspection records(although it still can't be guaranteed). But chances are quiet low by doing it this way.

It's Valentine's Day today and even though I am not a big fan of all the commercialized hype around this particular day, I still like the intention behind it - spending the day with the most beloved people in your life! I have been single all but one of the Valentine´s days of my life and that one time all those years back wasn't a really great day. Therefore, I hope this year marks the start of a wonderful tradition for me and Mr.B. celebrating together.
In recent years I have been boycotting the day of lovers by taking my girlfriends and going out for drinks. I am sad that this won't happen this year, but hey girls: When you read this, let's have a girls' night out together next week!!
I got those wonderful flowers last week and had to take some pictures. I still hope that Mr.B. will get me a nice flower as well. Keep your fingers crossed!!

Uber Offering On-Demand Mariachi Bands
This year, Uber is letting you start your Cinco de Mayo celebrations a little early, offering on-demand fiestas you can order from your mobile phone.
Much like ordering a ride, people in the San Francisco area can get their very own fiesta delivered today (Cuatro de Mayo) using Uber's mobile app. Firing up the app between 12-5 p.m. PST will give you the option of getting a car or a fiesta. Tap the sombrero on the screen and select "Let's Party" to have the party literally come to you.
So what might the fiesta option entail?
Uber has three Bay Area-based mariachi bands roaming the streets in SUVs, armed with margarita mix and pinatas. Once ordered, the band will come to you and play a song from its repetiore — or one you request — and leave behind a pinata filled with "mystery and wonder." The band also promises to leave behind a bottle of margarita mix (you have to provide your own tequila) and "beautiful memories."
"Our Cuatro de Mayo On-Demand Mariachi promo is similar to our On-Demand BBQ sandwiches at SXSW 2012. They both highlight Uber's ability to deliver you 'the coolest things ever' in only 5 minutes," Ryan Graves VP of Operations at Uber told Mashable. "We're all about logistics and experience, and I can guarantee this experience is going to be awesome."
On-demand fiestas cost $100 per party and are billed directly to your saved credit card within Uber.
Where do you think would be a good place to send a fiesta? Let us know your Cuatro de Mayo thoughts in the comments.

Regular Expressions
We had a nice chat about the uses of regular expressions in R, and determined we use them mainly for dealing with messy data files, or mutating the file names of data files, and for doing some linguistics data analysis tasks. That doesn't sound like much, but they're really amazing, and once you've started to use them, you'll wonder how you ever went without.
Check out some of the useful
base R functions that make use of them with
'grep', 'grepl', 'regexpr' and 'gregexpr' search for matches to
argument 'pattern' within each element of a character vector: they
differ in the format of and amount of detail in the results.
'sub' and 'gsub' perform replacement of the first and all matches
And if you use
tidyr, you'll love to use them with
How do you get started? Check out RegexOne. Once you complete all the lessons you'll be set for a good long while. There are many other resources on the Internet.
Note well for regular expression usage in R: You'll learn that backslash (
\) gets used a lot in regular expressions. Well, it's also a special character in R (for example, newline is
'\n'). For that reason, when you write regular expressions in R, you need to use 2 slashes – so
'\w' should actually be


text: My experience with Star Limousine Services of Nashville, Tennessee was a very good one. They have various kinds of stretch limousines or classy vehicles to choose from, like the cadillac escalade or the lincoln sedan. I think they are probably the classiest and cleanest Limousine service in the area. The sound system they had felt like it surrounded you from all directions The limos had a very beautiful fiber optic light system in them with these really luxurious seats along the whole limo. They also have water, ice, or non-alcohol drinks if you request them. It also had a driver's partition. The windows on it were really tinted so it gave a good feeling of privacy to me and my friends. I can remember how clean and nice it looked being inside it. The staff there is very professional and the chauffeurs knew every area we wanted to go, and some areas we did not know about and that was very helpful for us. I reserved a limo through them for my friend's twenty first birthday and we had a group of friends come along with us. We went to a lot of the different clubs around Nashville and had so much fun that night i am never going to forget it. I think we went to five or six different clubs that night, And it was awesome because we always had a designated driver so everyone could have fun and not worry about who was going to drive us to wherever we needed or wanted to go. I would recommend Star Limousine Services to anyone who would want to reserve a one for a special occasion.

Does Your Financial Advisor Have a Conflict When It Comes to Annuities?Financial and taxes in retirement
February 18, 2014 — Now that all of us have assumed responsibility for our own retirements, conducting due diligence has become part of our job description. That responsibility extends to vetting the financial advisers and providers of financial services that we might hire to help with our retirement finances. If you decide to buy an annuity, which many experts believe most retirees should have a portion of their retirement in, you need to be especially careful.
The Wall Street Journal published an interesting article last week entitled "Who's Training Your Financial Advisor". The piece brings up how financial advisers salivate at the sheer size of the 401k and IRA market as the world has moved to them from defined benefit (pension) plans. Roll overs, which typically occur when workers change jobs or retire, are big – last year workers rolled over an estimated $258 billion from 401ks to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). There is money to be made on these new accounts, so consumers have to be careful.
In the worst example of how much an adviser could make from steering you to certain financial products, the Journal reported that one company had sent emails to some advisers promising a new Maserati if they sold at least $7.5 million of annuities in 2014. Since a Maserati starts at around $126,000, it is easy to see the profit that must be in these annuities (for the record, $126,000 is 1.68% of $7.5 million). When companies are willing to pay bonuses of that size, due diligence seems like a good idea.
When you buy an annuity you are basically trading some of your savings for the promise of a regular payment for a certain number of years or the rest of your life. There are certain wrinkles available, such as annuities that are paid for the life of husband and wife.
Some things to think about
Here are some of the thoughts we have to help make a smart decision about annuities (by no means is this an exhaustive list, we hope others will add to it):
– Ask your advisor how and how much they are being compensated if you buy something they recommend. They might not tell you how much, but they should say if and how they might benefit
– Ask if they have any conflict of interest with advising you
– Compare the payouts, fees, terms, and fine print of several companies before you buy
– What are the tax implications of what they want to sell you
– Definitely include comparisons with some of the known low-cost providers like Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, and USAA
– If you don't like the smell of the deal, walk away and get more comparisons.
Comments? What are your thoughts about due diligence and annuities? Any successes, or horror stories? Please share your thoughts with your fellow Topretirements members.

An Oracle engineer thanked two Percona engineers by name, along with engineers from Facebook and elsewhere, for their recent MySQL 8.0 source code contributions. Oracle incorporated their work into its latest MySQL production release (8.0.13).
Percona's Zsolt Parragi authored a patch for a rare replication bug that left locked mutexes in production builds following debug crashes (bug #89421). Yura Sorokin authored a patch to fix wrong file I/O statistics in the MySQL Performance Schema (bug #90264). Percona CTO Vadim Tkachenko cited both patches as examples of Percona's continuing contributions to the open source community. This is one of Percona's core ideals since the company's founding in 2006.
In past last three years alone, Percona has reported on over 600 bugs in the MySQL server. Most of these bug reports Percona provided Oracle engineers with reproducible test cases. They also contained detailed stack traces and other information appropriate for analyzing and fixing the bug. During that same period, Oracle accepted at least 20 patches authored by Percona engineers into its MySQL code base.
Over its 12 year history, Percona engineers have created numerous open source projects that have won widespread community adoption. These include Percona Server for MySQL, an enhanced version of the flagship MySQL database, Percona XtraDB Cluster, a high availability database solution, Percona Server for MongoDB®, an enhanced fork of the MongoDB® database, a Percona XtraBackup, a database backup tool, Percona Tookit, a suite of utilities for database administrators, and the most recent, Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), a GUI tool providing visibility into database performance.

In Italy, March 19th is the feast day of San Giuseppe (Saint Joseph) and also Father's Day. It's a particularly important celebration in southern Italy and most celebrated in Sicily, where San Giuseppe is the patron saint. As with all Italian celebrations, it involves traditional foods, and the most well-known of these is the zeppola di San Giuseppe, an airy doughnut filled or topped with pastry cream and finished off with an amarena (a dark sour cherry in syrup—you can often find them in Italian food stores, specialty food stores, or online) on top. Although, as with most Italian dishes, the name and ingredients can vary widely by region, pastry shops throughout Italy sell fried pastries on this day. Sometimes they are simply dusted with powdered or granulated sugar, or they can be filled with whipped cream, chocolate cream, custard, or sweetened ricotta studded with chocolate or candied fruit. This recipe is for the most famous and widespread version, which originated in Naples.
Although they're fried, zeppole are light and not overly sweet, as the dough is the same as the light and airy pâte à choux dough used for cream puffs, eclairs, and other classic French treats, and contains no sugar. In fact, for a lighter version, you can easily bake them instead of frying.
- For the Dough:
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 medium eggs
- For the Pastry-Cream Filling:
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or cornstarch
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- For Frying and the Garnish:
- Neutral oil for frying
- Powdered sugar
- Amarene cherries in syrup
Steps to Make It
Note: while there are multiple steps in this recipe, this dessert is broken down into workable categories to help you better plan for preparation and cooking.
Make the Dough
Gather the ingredients.
Place water, butter, and salt in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
When the butter has melted, whisk in the flour and continue to stir, with a whisk or wooden spoon, until batter is smooth and does not stick to the sides of the pot.
Remove from heat and transfer the dough to a bowl to cool to room temperature.
Once it has cooled, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Refrigerate the dough while you prepare the pastry cream filling (20 to 30 minutes).
Make the Filling
Gather the ingredients.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until combined.
Add the flour to the egg mixture, whisking well until combined.
Place milk and lemon zest in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the milk begins to boil, remove it from the heat and slowly add the egg mixture, constantly whisking, until the mixture is smooth.
Return to medium heat and continue whisking until the cream thickens.
Transfer the cream to a bowl, cover the surface with a piece of parchment paper, and let cool. Meanwhile, make the zeppole.
Make the Zeppole
Gather the ingredients.
Prepare 8 (3-inch) squares of parchment paper or aluminum foil. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag with a star-shaped tip. Pipe a ring of dough onto each square of paper or foil, about 2 inches in diameter, to form a doughnut shape.
Heat several inches of frying oil in a large pot with high sides to 320 F (160 C). Drop the zeppole (still on the paper or foil) in the oil one or two at a time to avoid crowding. The paper or foil will detach itself after a few seconds and you can remove it from the oil with tongs or a slotted spoon.
When puffy and golden brown, remove each zeppole with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined platter or tray.
When cool enough to handle, fill another pastry bag with pastry cream and attach a star-shaped tip. Slice the zeppole in half and fill with a ring of pastry cream. Place the top half on the cream and then fill the center hole with a little more pastry cream.
Place an amarena cherry on top of the cream in the center of each doughnut, then dust all of them lightly with powdered sugar. Serve hot.
Raw Egg Warning
Consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs poses a risk of food-borne illness.
Recipe Variations
- Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest to the dough as well the pastry cream.
- You can bake the zeppole instead of frying them for a lighter treat. Bake the zeppole on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, with plenty of space in between, at 375 F (190 C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are puffy and evenly golden brown.
- Instead of slicing them in half and filling them, just add a dollop of pastry cream to the center of each zeppola, then top it with an amarena cherry.
- You can omit the filling and just dust the fried zeppole with powdered sugar.
- Use your own canned cherries without added sugar for a healthier dessert.

To: Michael Doyle, Brian Buckingham
CC: Nicole Bennett, Nicholas Fonte, Tara Plochocki
From: Conor Friedersdorf
Subject: Insufferable Overachievers
So Michael Doyle has been promoted, and Brian James Buckingham is suddenly engaged?!
1) It is quite suspicious that you've both e-mailed me momentous news on the same day.
2) Has my grandmother, who believes I'll be beheaded by Al Qaeda the instant I step off American soil, orchestrated your successes to deprive me of traveling companions?
3) Did she also arrange Nicole's Fulbright , Tara's gig working with Tibetan refugees and Nick's decision to spend another year at the orphanage in Honduras?
4) Or do career, family, Third Word development, the well-being of persecuted refugees and the raising of parentless children seem more ennobling than fiction writing, daily siestas and nightly Cruzcampo beer?
So be it.
I'll admit my good taste in friends. But I'll not abort my return to Sevilla. Without you all, I go alone. Hell, we've got to have a representative in Europe, right? Mike, you've long deserved it. Brian, you'll make a great husband and a great father… and my sister will someday recover from the news.
You're all invited to sleep on my Spanish couch, and if you imagine that your noble pursuits will induce me to pay for your meals when you visit… well, you're probably right.
Much Love,

Man Arrested After Backing Car Onto a Shed
Kitsap Sun Staff
A Silverdale man was arrested Monday night after he backed his car through a fence and onto a neighboring shed.
The 68-year-old man was leaving a friend's apartment on Erlands Point Road at about 5:45 p.m. when he backed his 1997 Oldsmobile through the fence, down an embankment and onto the shed. The owner of the shed got a ladder to help the man get down. He was not injured.
The man refused to take a breathalyzer test, according to Washington State Patrol spokeswoman Trooper Krista Hedstrom. Troopers were determining if they should take the man to the hospital first or directly to jail, she said.
Hedstrom anticipated the man would be eventually taken to jail on suspicion of driving under the influence.
