Lawmakers look to halt sale of Lazy Cakes High doses of melatonin raise question of dietary supplement vs. food status Discover the foresight and insight of ShipmentVision. WASHINGTON — Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois has raised concerns with the Food and Drug Administration about baked goods containing neurohormone melatonin that, because they are marketed as dietary supplements, do not require approval by the F.D.A. for use as additives in food. In a May 18 letter to Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the F.D.A., Mr. Durbin asked the F.D.A. to clarify its authority to regulate foods that contain additives, such as baked foods that contain high doses of melatonin. "Products with names such as Lazy Cakes, Kush Cakes, and Lulla Pies are marketed as dietary supplements that claim to provide a harmless way to promote relaxation, alleviate stress and ease sleep deprivation," Mr. Durbin wrote. "These products appear to be promoting themselves as therapeutic alternatives to medications. As such, the products may be marketed in ways that are inconsistent with federal law." There is currently no recommended dose for melatonin supplements, but according to the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database the typical dose should be between 0.3 mg and 5 mg. Generally each brownie and cookie contains roughly 8 mg of melatonin — almost double the upper limit of a typical dose. "The inclusion of melatonin in baked goods raises numerous health concerns," Mr. Durbin said. "The sweet, chocolaty taste may encourage consumers to eat well over a recommended quantity of melatonin." In addition to Mr. Durbin's call to the F.D.A. to regulate additives in food, the Arkansas Department of Health on May 19 recalled all Lazy Cakes, saying the product contains melatonin, "which has not been approved for general food use." The A.D.H. said it believes the product "poses a potential health risk to consumers, especially young children," and has received complaints about the product being sold in food stores (mainly convenience stores) "without prominent labeling and easily accessible to children." The Natural Products Association said the controversy "demands clarity and action." "The Natural Products Association believes the products in question — brownies containing melatonin — are conventional foods falsely labeled as supplements," said John Gay, executive director and chief executive officer of the N.P.A. "Simply calling a product a 'dietary supplement' does not make it so. There are specific rules for what qualifies as a supplement as opposed to what qualifies as conventional food." On its web site, Memphis, Tenn.-based HBB, L.L.C. notes that Lazy Cakes "are recommended for adults only!" "Although perfectly safe for adults, these are NOT a snack for children," the web site said. "These are meant as a dietary supplement to aid adults who lead a stressful, energy drink fueled lifestyle to wind down and relax. As with any product, it is highly recommended that you read the labels." Mr. Durbin said this is not the first time the F.D.A. has been asked to clarify its authority to regulate certain dietary supplements and food additives. In January 2000, the F.D.A. issued a 10year plan to implement the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), which identified the need to clarify the distinction between conventional foods and dietary supplements. Moreover, U.S. General Accountability Office reports in July 11, 2000, and Jan. 29, 2009, recommended the F.D.A. clarify the boundary.

National Voting Rights for Resident Non-Citizens: The Luxembourg Debate
April 3, 2015 April 2, 2015 sotonpolitics Policy, TheoryBritish politics, citizenship, constitutions, David Owen, democracy
By David Owen, Professor of Social and Political Philosophy at University of Southampton (@rdavidowen, Academia.edu). You can find more posts by David here.
On June 7th 2015, the people of Luxembourg will be voting in a referendum covering four separate questions:
Should teenagers aged 16 or over be given the active right to vote? (The active right means that they would be able to vote but not stand in elections.)
Should non-Luxembourg nationals be allowed to vote in national elections on the condition that they have lived in Luxembourg for at least ten years?
Should the state continue to pay salaries and pensions of priests, diocese staff or officials of other faith groups in Luxembourg?
Should government mandates be limited to a period of ten years?
Although all raise fascinating points for political theory and practice, it is the second – national voting rights for resident non-citizens – that raises the most challenging issues for contemporary states in contexts of migration and for EU member states in the context of the right to freedom of movement enjoyed by EU citizens. On the 20th-21st March I was privileged to be invited as an expert in a wide-ranging intellectual debate on this issue held in the Chambre des Députés du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg in which a group of historians, lawyers, sociologists and political scientists presented a range of perspectives on resident non-citizen suffrage to an audience of parliamentary representatives, activists, academics and students. Organized by Professor Philippe Poirier and his colleagues at the University of Luxembourg with the cooperation of the Luxembourg Parliament in order to enhance political debate, the event exemplified how academic research can inform, and be challenged by, the diversity of political perspectives that characterize a democratic state.
The question of resident non-citizen suffrage in national elections has real political significance for Luxembourg. About 45% of its residents are non-citizens (with about 85% of these being EU citizens). On the one hand, this looks like a serious democratic problem with almost half the population being denied national political representation in its legislative body. On the other hand, it is easy to see that the people of Luxembourg might reasonably be concerned that permitting national suffrage rights to resident non-citizens would undermine their ability to control their own political destiny.
One response to this dilemma is to make acquisition of nationality relatively straightforward and on the 1st January 2009 Luxembourg introduced new naturalization legislation that permitted dual/plural nationality and a double ius soli principle. This has had significant impact:
The number of valid demands for nationalisation quadrupled, going from 1065 in 2008 to 11770 for the period of the 1st January 2009 to the 31 December 2011. The Luxembourgish nationality was granted to 11736 persons, quasi 4000 per year. … By comparison, in 2008, only 1215 persons acquired the Luxembourg nationality. Furthermore, by double ius soli, 3414 persons of less than 18 years age, born in the Grand-Duchy of foreign parents of whom one was also born in Luxembourg, acquired Luxembourg nationality on the 1st January 2009. Following the assessment of the STATEC (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies), from 2009 to 2011, approximately another 1000 children became Luxembourgers by double ius soli, and 2491 children were naturalised along with one of their parents. A total of about 18500 new Luxembourgers in three years, mainly because of the innovations introduced by the law of 2008.
However, as already noted, the number of resident non-citizens today is c.45% with c.85% being EU citizens. For Luxembourg, it seems a decision must be made.
The vote in Luxembourg is also, however, also significant for the EU. Currently the EU has a demos problem in that EU citizens who exercise their civil right of freedom of movement may find themselves disenfranchised at the national voting level in both their state(s) of nationality and their state of residence. This is a democratic wrong but it is one that the EU as an institution has no competence to resolve. There are several possible ways of resolving this problem. But given (a) that the institutional architecture of the EU is neither purely intergovernmental (which would support tying national voting rights to naturalization) or purely federal (which would support tying national voting rights to residence) and (b) that EU citizenship entitles EU citizens who move to other member states to be treated as de facto dual nationals for a wide range of purposes, one fitting way of addressing this problem would be for Member States to allow such Second Country Nationals to become 'Resident Electors' after a reasonable period of residence. A 'Yes' vote in Luxembourg's referendum (although it would also encompass a small number of non-EU citizens) would provide an example to the EU of such a practice. A 'No' vote would push the agenda in the direction of either reciprocal arrangements between specific Member States or expatriate voting rights for Second Country Nationals or some combination of the two. Luxembourg's decision thus has implications that are wider than its own national affairs – and it is also for this reason that the engagement of academics, citizens and politicians in the event organized by the University of Luxembourg in association with their Parliament was such a welcome endeavor.

Markets Opinion
Here's Why Apple Is Worth More Than Britain's Top 100 Companies
Apple is now worth more than Britain's top 100 companies combined. What does this mean for the former European superpower?
Under Tim Cook, Apple became the first U.S. company to reach a $2 trillion market capitalization. The company is now bigger than the U.K.'s FTSE 100 | Image: AFP PHOTO / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / CHIP SOMODEVILLA
The U.K. has been reduced to a shadow of its former glory.
The market cap of a single American company, Apple, is worth more than the value of the entire FTSE 100.
Britain's low equity valuations leave its companies vulnerable to international takeovers. Is the colonizer becoming the colonized?
Britain's best days are behind it. Don't believe me? Take a look at the value of its stocks, which pale in comparison to their rivals in the United States. Britain, and most of Europe for that matter, has failed in big tech, and it shows in the shriveling valuations of FTSE equities.
The market value of American smartphone maker Apple is now worth more than Britain's 100 largest companies. And the stock markets of other European powers like France and Germany aren't performing much better. As European economies fade in relevance, could the colonizers become the colonized?
The American Century
The United States has politically dominated Europe since the end of World War 2. The U.S. dollar remains the global reserve currency and over 60,000 American troops stationed on the continent with most in Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
Until recently, Europe has retained some level of economic competitiveness through the European Union and its backbone of vital industries like financial services, healthcare, automobile manufacturing.
But times are changing. European companies are declining in global relevance compared to their American counterparts–and this puts the continent's economic independence at risk.
The U.K's stock market is still dominated by old multinationals like Unilever and BP, which subsist, not by technological innovation, but by exploiting the natural resources and unprotected consumer markets of third world countries. Unlike Apple, these companies have not created any game-changing technology to make people's lives easier, nor have they pushed the envelope in terms of product design.
Apple Is Worth More Than Britain's 100 Biggest Companies
Apple's stock performance has trounced its European rivals over the last decade. | Data by Ycharts
The FTSE 100 represents the U.K.'s 100 largest companies. The total index is worth $1.5 trillion. Apple, on the other hand, is worth a staggering $1.97 trillion with occasional breaks above the $2 trillion mark.
Apple isn't the only American company that towers over its British counterparts. Software giant Microsoft commands a market cap of $1.55 trillion while Amazon boasts $1.58 trillion–far bigger than any company in the U.K. Salty Brits may be tempted to call American tech a bubble, but they would be wrong.
American tech companies deserve their massive valuations because they have done what European companies have failed to do: innovate.
Except for Amazon, which commands an earnings multiple of 98, these tickers trade at reasonable valuations. Apple has a PE ratio of 35, and Microsoft has a PE of 32. This is only modestly above the S&P 500's average of 28–and well deserved considering these companies' rapid earnings growth.
The Colonizer Becomes the Colonized
As British companies fall behind in market cap, they become increasingly vulnerable to foreign acquisition. Over the last decade, Chinese companies have been buying up British assets, particularly those with strategic importance in the energy sector.
China's state-owned China General Nuclear Power controls a 33.5% stake in the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant under construction in Somerset. The Chinese company may go on to build its reactor in Bradwell, Essex (let's hope that notorious "made in China" quality doesn't live up to its reputation). China is also a massive player in Britain's oil industry through its China National Offshore Oil Corporation, which accounts for more than 25% of the U.K's oil production.
While the buying spree hasn't yet hit major FTSE-listed equities, it could only be a matter of time. The British public got a wakeup call when India's Tata Motors bought iconic British automakers Jaguar and Range Rover (from American automaker Ford who bought them in 1999) after the recession in 2008. Could AstraZeneca, Unilever, or British Petroleum be next?

Flo's Story
There's a special place in our hearts for our very first dog.
For Maryland resident Lora Katz, that special first dog was Flo.
"My parents didn't want to take care of a dog," says Lora. "So when I became an adult and moved away, I got myself a standard poodle puppy. I was in the Air Force at the time, living in Georgia. I wanted a dog I could run with, ride a bike with, do things with."
Flo was "smart and full of life," says Lora. "Happy to meet everybody." Flo was also very patient with her first-time owner. "I have to admit that back in those days there was a style of training where you jerked on their collar to get them to obey," says Lora of the obedience training they took together. "But she put up with me. I learned, she learned. We did a lot of exploring together, and it was a lot of fun."
By the time Lora left the Air Force and returned to her home state of Maryland, she'd adopted another, younger standard poodle named Sassy and had become an inaugural subscriber of The Whole Dog Journal, a holistic canine health care magazine. Flo, now age 11, was still active and spirited, but she'd started to hesitate before jumping in the car.
"At first, I think she's just being stubborn," recalls Lora. But reading about chiropractic, acupuncture, and other alternative approaches to canine health care "helped me realize more of the big picture - things you need to think about with an aging dog," such as treating pain that can occur with arthritis.
About that time, Lora met Greta McVey at the Greenbelt (Maryland) Pet Expo. "And I thought, wow, here's someone nearby who'll actually do animal acupuncture," says Lora. "And I can afford it!"
Flo's first acupuncture treatment
Lora brought both of her dogs to Flo's first acupuncture session. "The dogs were all curious, not apprehensive at all," says Lora. Before long "Flo is laying on the comfy [treatment] mat and she's sniffing Greta. And the next thing I know, Flo's got needles sticking in her. I didn't even see it happen. And Flo's the same way, like, oh, okay, whatever. Flo never resisted. It was always amazing how she would just allow Greta to do it.
"Greta really is a kind of dog whisperer," says Lora. "She really knows the pace at which to do things. You go to the vet and they hold your dog down while they take blood or whatever. That's not how it works with Greta. Flo lays down when she wants to, Flo gets ready for the treatment. Greta doesn't force that at all - and then the needles go in."
During subsequent sessions Lora noticed that at some point, Flo always yawned. "Without fail," says Lora. "And that convinced me that something real was happening. Flo's actions spoke volumes."
When Lora asked Greta how she knew when the treatment was over, "Greta said, 'Flo lets me know.' And so then I started to notice, yeah, Flo would get a little restless, there'd be a little cue, and then Greta would start taking the needles out. The two of them knew what was going to happen."
Supporting Flo through her senior years
Lora thinks Flo's acupuncture sessions were about "more than pain management for her arthritis. Greta was really treating Flo's whole life. She knew Flo as a personality. She called Flo a metal, a winter. And she would treat Flo accordingly, because those aspects of Flo's being had certain strengths and were associated with certain organ systems. Greta was proactive in treating Flo's respiratory system, for example, knowing that was a vulnerable area for Flo during a certain time of the year."
Over the next six years, young and brassy Sassy received a couple of acupuncture treatments, but otherwise the focus was on helping Flo remain healthy and active through her senior years.
In the car on the way to their appointments, Flo would perk up as they entered Greta's neighborhood and "Sassy always starts to bark," says Lora. "I know I'm not doing anything hurtful when my dogs know where they're going and they're excited when they get there. Dog's don't lie."
End of life: Flo gets in touch with her ancestors
With Greta's support once or twice a month, Lora's beloved Flo lived to be 17 years old. "And she was ambulatory up to the second-to-last day before she passed," says Lora.
At one of their last sessions, says Lora, "I noticed Greta was going to put a needle in between Flo's eyes, which Flo didn't mind at all, but it was unusual. I asked about it, and Greta said, 'I'm getting Flo in touch with her ancestors.' And I realized, wow, this is really between her and Flo. She was helping Flo prepare, probably for things that even Flo didn't realize she was getting close to."
Lora says she learned from Greta how to pay attention to telling details about Flo's well-being, such as the smell of her breath and coat, and temperature differences across her body. And that helped both Lora and Flo at the end.
"Everyone was worried about me when Flo passed, but I was ready for it," says Lora. "I could tell when Flo was ready. I just knew. The day she couldn't stand anymore I didn't get upset about it. I just brought her in and lay down on the floor with her. Sassy was in the room with us, of course. I realized Flo's breathing had slowed down. I fell asleep and Sassy woke me up, her collar jangling. And I realized Flo wasn't breathing any more. It was really beautiful. We were done, and Flo had called the shots. No drama, no panic. I would wish that for anyone I know."
During Flo's last days, Lora spoke by phone with Greta a number of times. Greta's sympathy and practical suggestions for how to make Flo more comfortable were "definitely good to have," says Lora. "Someone who was involved yet professional at the same time, who had been through this before."
Lora says Flo "taught me so much, when I think back on it. Just how to be calm, how to be observant. How to not take things in such a big dramatic way. I think I was doing something for her [with the acupuncture] that, if she could have asked me for it, she would have. If you don't own a dog, you probably can't relate to that. I think it just supported her to be the best she could be to the end of her life."

Fellowships >
2019-2020 Fellowships
The New-York Historical Society is now accepting applications for its prestigious fellowship program for the 2019–2020 academic year. Leveraging its rich collections of documents, artifacts, and works of art detailing American history from the perspective of New York City, New-York Historical's fellowships—open to scholars at various times during their academic careers—provide scholars with material resources and an intellectual community to develop new research and publications that illuminate complex issues of the past.
The New-York Historical Society was founded in 1804. It holds a distinguished collection of books, manuscripts, graphic materials, decorative objects, historical artifacts, and works of art.
The Patricia D. Klingenstein Library at the New-York Historical Society is home to over 350,000 books, nearly 20,000 linear feet of manuscripts and archives, and distinctive collections of maps, photographs, and prints, as well as ephemera and family papers documenting the history of the United States from a distinctly New York perspective. The Library's collections are particularly rich in material pertaining to the American Revolution and the early Republic, the Civil War, and the Gilded Age. Significant holdings relate to Robert Livingston and the Livingston family, Rufus King, Horatio Gates, Albert Gallatin, Cadwallader Colden, Robert Fulton, Richard Varick, and many other notable individuals. Also well documented within the Library's collections are major social movements in American history, especially abolitionism, temperance, and social welfare. The Library's visual archives include some of the earliest photographs of New York; a significant collection of Civil War images; and the archives of major architectural firms of the later 19th century. Among the more than 1.6 million works that comprise the museum's art collections are all 435 preparatory watercolors for John James Audubon's Birds of America; a preeminent collection of Hudson River School landscapes; and an exceptional collection of decorative and fine arts spanning four centuries.
The New-York Historical Society provides a rich research environment that promotes an active intellectual community. Fellows are encouraged to explore the collections and to take advantage of the full scope of the library and museum's resources and to share their research during their tenure through informal talks and blog posts. Educational outreach and public programs further support New-York Historical's intellectual mission to explore the richly layered political, cultural, and social history of New York and the nation, as well as the making and the meaning of history.

Top 10 Family Movies on Netflix Your Family Will Love!
Makayla Cacciola
Family movie night was always a favorite when I was growing up, and it will be for your kids too! If you aren't sure what movies to watch, here are some family friendly options. Some of these are brand new, while others are favorites from years ago. Either way, your kids will love these family movies on Netflix, and you'll enjoy them as well!
Family Movies On Netflix
1. Finding Dory (2016)
Finding Dory is the very popular sequel to Finding Nemo, which was released in 2003. When the movie came out, people of all ages flocked to theaters to see if it was as good as we all thought it to be. Finding Dory did not disappoint! The movie is full of adventure, humor (for all ages), and many new lovable characters. The plot follows Dory this time, as she is on an adventure to find her family. This heartwarming movie will make you laugh and cry, as you reminisce and enjoy this new classic. This favorite family movie on Netflix is a new addition.
2. Bee Movie (2007)
The Bee Movie was recently added to Netflix and it's definitely one of the most exciting new additions. This movie was a favorite in my family as I was growing up, and it's definitely something that you should introduce your family to! With a lot of humor and valuable lessons about the environment, the Bee Movie is educational while still being a lot of fun to watch. It follows a bee named Barry, who sues humans for stealing all of the honey from their hives. He teams up a human as he fights for this injustice, but things take an unexpected turn for the worst. This movie is a great hilarious, yet semi-educational option for your next family movie night!
3. Zootopia (2016) (4.9 / 5)
One of Disney's newest animated movies, Zootopia is another very popular family movie. The story follows a rabbit from the country, who wants to become a cop in Zootopia, aka the big city. She goes against all odds, and teams up with a fox to solve a very important mystery with many unexpected twists and turns along the way. Another movie that has important underlying themes, it's a great movie for kids to watch. People of all ages have enjoyed the unique plot and humor, so make sure you see this great family film!
4. The Pacifier (2005)
One of the best throwbacks that Netflix has to offer, The Pacifier has everything. With tons of humor and action, and a plot unlike any other, this is a must see. A Navy Seal is assigned to protect a family, however he has to stay undercover. While the kids try their best to challenge him, he tries his best to keep up with all the craziness. The Pacifier is loved by all ages, and will easily become one of your favorites. Watch it while it's still available on Netflix!
5. Minions (2015)
The prequel to Despicable Me, the Minions movie introduces us to those adorable little yellow minions. The movie follows their story and how they eventually teamed up with the evil mastermind, Gru. This is a great family movie, and although most adults might be tired of these minions, kids love them! If you don't mind putting up with the minions for another hour and a half, then consider watching this one!
6. Tarzan (1999)
Disney movies are always a good idea for family movie nights, and Tarzan is a classic! If you don't already know the plot, the story follows Tarzan as he is raised by apes, and eventually falls in love with a girl from England named Jane. While fighting for their love, there are many twists and turns that make it harder for them to be together. Tarzan is based off of a book written in 1914, and Disney brings it to life in this 1999 film version. Don't miss this magical Disney classic!
7. Chicken Little (2005)
Animal movies seem to be popular among kids, and for a good reason. Chicken Little is another movie full of adventure and hilarious characters. The story follows Chicken Little as he tries to convince his town that there's about to be an alien invasion. Unfortunately (mainly because of his size), no one believes him. It's then up to him and his friends to save the world from this upcoming threat. This underdog story is heartwarming and will again become one of your families favorites!
8. Home (2015)
Home follows a lovable, misfit alien, as he and his fellow aliens invade Earth. Although the humans aren't happy about the invasion, a girl befriends them and they go on a life changing adventure together. As these unlikely friends journey together, they find that they really do belong. Home is heartwarming and full of adventure. This DreamWorks film is adorable and your kids will love it as well as yourself!
9. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
This remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was very popular when it came out, and has sadly been forgotten in the wide spectrum of family movies. Showing this movie to your kids would be a great way to introduce them to older movies. The story line is basically the same as the original, but the magic of the movie has completely been redone. And while you're at it, watch both! Your kids will love the candy filled magic!
10. Hotel Transylvania 2
Finally, Hotel Transylvania 2 is the sequel to Hotel Transylvania. However this time, Dracula is worried that his grandson will turn out more human than vampire. The movie is goofy, feel-good, and kids love the mythical creatures! And if you haven't seen the first one, watch it; it isn't on Netflix, but it's available on the Netflix DVD Service!

When I started Bluefin, the premise was very simple: a values-drive organisation focusing on its customers and its people in equal measure. Amazing people with the right environment can do incredible things.
It has proven to be true, and I am immensely proud of what our customers and people have achieved, and what Bluefin has achieved as a result. Watching and helping people to grow, and seeing the results of that over 10+ years, makes me immensely proud, and the vision of being the world's most customer-centric consultancy by 2025 is always at the front of my mind.
The world has changed immensely during our history, and technology is going through a seismic shift at the moment: the power of the consumer on the move; the shift of global economic power eastwards; the importance of climate change; next generation software personified in cloud computing; to name but a few. I love the opportunities that these changes create.
Outside of work, I love to share with my wonderful family and friends my passions of cycling, skiing and wine, although not usually at the same time.


Bohemia And Pardhaan Link Up To Drop Haryanvi Banger "Gaadi"!
The king in the north Sikander Kahlon took to twitter to drop a surprise for all of his fans and followers earlier this month. One of Sikander's most awaited sequels to his earlier project "Mohali Messiah" has now finally been released! Mohali Messiah 2 is on and in full effect, and Kahlon wasted no time to share the same with the world. He took to twitter to make the official announcement and has been gaining momentum on the album ever since!
A-grade quality raps, tight flows, booming bass, and a stellar lineup of individuals is what completes Mohali Messiah 2 to be an essential listen for any Desi Hip-Hop fan in the world. Sikander has been focused since day 1 and his career keeps booming on the up and up. The sheer consistency and the quality of his tracks are what rightfully keep him on the top of his game and his followers see that too.
Mohali Messiah 2 consists of a lot of Sikander's hits combining to form a sort of Megatron tape. With the singles "2017 flow", "King In The North", "Chakk Bass" and many more, this tape is surely something to hold on to and bump for more than one listen! Sikander Kahlon has proven time and again that he is one to rep his scene loud and proud. A dedicated artiste and a great entertainer.
Check out Sikander's full mixtape on the link below and let us know in the comments what you felt are the best tracks in there!


Everyone has their opinion on the new league mandated jerseys. Now that they have all been revealed (thanks Rangers for leaving it to the last possible second just to show that there was no change to your jersey design), I guess I can bestow upon you my glorious position on some of the new sweaters.
Amongst the jerseys I like are the Caps sweaters (which at first I hated, but after seeing them in action, I am actually enjoying the new look). I also loved the new St. Louis Blues jerseys. They put a new spin on the same basic design from their old look. I have to admit, I really do like the home jersey look. I am glad to see Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and the Rangers not deviate from their original look. There is just something sacred about those jerseys that modernization shouldn't touch.
The sweaters I hated were both Dallas and San Jose. What the hell happened to San Jose? They tried to go for a classic look, but it just looks awful. The only thing good about the Sharks look this season is their new logo. I was expecting more I guess.
Dallas just doesn't make sense. On the home jerseys it says "Dallas." Huh, yea, I think that the home fans know where the team is from. It would have made more sense to have that on their away jerseys. But what do I know.
I know a lot of Oiler fans are upset about their jersey look, but I kind of like it. Like a classier look to their away jersey with the piping down the front. I did not like Phoenix's jerseys, the shoulders just look stupid on the away jerseys. There was a lot of grumbling about about Vancouver's sweater too, but there is some history there with the lettering so I am okay with it. And at least it's both on the home and away jerseys, unlike Dallas.
There has been issues on the new jerseys ripping during fights, which could be a problem for the goons of the league. If a players jersey rips and slips over his head during a fight, it's cause for injury, which in a fight isn't that the point? Also due to the fitted style of the jersey, punching and grasping is a much harder exercise, and limits full range of motion during a fight. No word though if that is going to be fixed.


You really need to read the rest for yourself, so check out the link.
"For some reason he rocketed from E-2 all the way to E-1 and was sent to discover his land legs again." Military Phony wrote after a lengthy wait for this guys records.
During the time we have been waiting on his records we have had multiple reports of him claiming to suffer from the PTSD.
We have no idea what causes him to suffer from such a thing, but we know strange things can happen in Fan Rooms aboard ships. Maybe something went bump in the night…we may never know.
In summary, his FOIA response has no Navy Cross, Silver Star, NMCM(equivalent to a Silver Star for heroism while not directly engaged with the enemy), Purple Heart, Prisoner of War Medal or any other award with the exception of the National Defense Service Medal.
According to his records he was on the opposite side of the planet during Vietnam. No RECON assignments or training of any kind. His records show he was most certainly not a United States Marine of any rank.

Last night I didn't feel like getting fully changed before I took Max out for his evening walk. So I swapped my heels for a pair of small sneakers, pulled a thick sweatshirt over the twinset I wore with my skirt, put my coat back on and we set out.
Cute little red sketcher sneakers and a brown below-the-knee skirt is a major fashion faux pas, by the way. I fully expect to be ambushed by a cruel and exploitative TV show sometimes soon.
Anyway, here in NJ it's been rainy and chilly for days. Our evening walk has now been plunged into darkness. As Fang pondered which roadside campaign sign to pee on next (he's very non-partisan, although Corzine has the most signs here) I caught a glimpse of my shadow on the street caused by the streetlight behind us.
With the distortion of height, the bulkiness under my coat, the way my hair was blowing and the tie-shoes with the skirt, the shadow on the street was that of my grandmother. It was a little creepy at first, but extremely comforting. Like I was being watched over on a dark, chilly, raining evening.
And as she was a firm believer in angels and ghosts and otherworldly beings that helped you out…who am I to question? 🙂

…things like that? You don't question. (or do, perhaps–but in a respectful kind of way, you know?)
I like this. I like the red sketchers & brown skirt & "major fashion faux-pas" because you know what? It's far more real. Real women…
Real women throw on their sneakers & pull on a sweatshirt because there's not always time to give a shit about the other stuff. Real women look at their shadows & see their grandmothers or look in the mirror and see their Mom peeking out in the appearance of those fine lines or furrows and it's ok and it's good.
How's the whole "running your fingers through your hair" thing going for you by the way? …speaking of the wind blowing your hair and all by the way. 🙂 *laughing*

I dunno about that being a major fashion faux-pas. I love my wife, but she is definitely a front-runner for being on "What Not to Wear". Personally the skirt and sneaker look…..
And of course…nothing is worse in my book than Tiered Skirts….

Hi! I was born 1974 and I went to Wildwood between 1980-1983. I remember Hunt's Pier, rode most of the rides, it was sold after 1985 and the new owners tore down the wooden coaster Flyer, pirate ship, Jungleland, train, car ride in 1989. I miss the Whacky Shack. It was a dino themed park between 96-98 then it closed and it's now a go-kart pier. The Golden Nugget Mine Ride is standing but not operating. Morey's Pier wants to reopen it. Also, the scary Castle Dracula and Dungeon Boat ride lcated at Nickels Midway Pier opened in 1977 and burned down 2002, what a shame. I was in it several years ago many times and it was one of the best haunted attractions. http://www.darkinthepark.com has pictures of the castle, and http://www.funchase.com has pictures of Hunt's Pier and other defunct rides and piers. Also http://www.mrboardwalk.net and http://www.laffinthedark.com I'm from Allentown near Dorney Park. Dorney Park changed alot over the years, they changed owners and rides. I tried posting this to the Wildwood post but it said not found at the comments page so I put it here. Oh, you look very cute, Kimberly! I like the pic with your glasses.
Oh, one more thing, go to that darkinthepark site and scroll down to Wildwood Memories, that's the two brother's memories of Wildwood in the 80's and several pages ahead there's a video of Hunt's Pier when it was open! Do you remember Hunt's Pier very well, Kim?
Well met, Mr. Shady.

Setting Up Appointment+ so it works properly!
First of all.. I am a complete beginner and new to this - please help!
- strangely it also allows users to book on dates that have already passed.. e.g. a user can book an appointment on a day 2 weeks ago!
- allow users to book different services: Either a "New patient appointment", "Standard Adjsutment", a "30 min Massage" or a "60 Min massage"
- remove the duplicate of the day listings in the calendar box e.g. it says "Sat" at the top and "Sat" at the bottom of the calendar box.. I only want one of these!
If anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated!
Only issue now is... following the steps to insert the CSS text is out of my depth... any further advice please?
Adding the CSS via the shortocode is really simple and here is the detailed explanation what to do.
After you have installed and activated the plugin you will see new panel on the left side like on first screenshot.
I have got this working!
- I am not receiving a confirmation email once an appointment is booked. I have booked a few appointments to test this and each time I have not received an email.. any suggestions?
Thanks again, appreciate your help!
Regarding your other questions, you multiple services assigned to single provider right? So you want option for user to select the service they want for that current provider?
You will now have service selector which needs to be selected before the providers are shown.
Would you mind allowing support access so I can have a closer look at your email issue?
Please reply here when the login is enabled.
Thanks. Sure you can have access. I cannot see the WPMU DEV tab though. I have attached a screen shot of what my backend looks likes.. any suggestions?
I saw in your information that you have site registered so I assumed that you have WPMU DEV Dashboard already installed.
If you are using multisite and Dashboard installed then you will find plugin options in Network admin panel.
I am the owner of the website, however some developers have been making it for me.. they have multiple sites.. i assume I cannot get access to the "Network admin panel." ?
Please reply here when you send the details.
Did you check your spam/junk folder by any chance?
I tested the with my e-mail address set and the mail is not sending, this can be however related to your host if it only allows sending from e-mail address registered with them. When I returned your mail address and resent the confirmation mail for appointment it was delivered to me but it was in spam folder.
As I mentioned in your e-mail here is the response for adding additional e-mails to receive the message for appointments.
You can add the code below to your functions.php which is located in your theme folder, or child theme folder. It's always better to use child theme since this way the changes will be there after the theme update.
You can see from the code that these are examples for two addresses, you can copy/paste the wp_mail part for the each email you want to use and you will need to modify the subject and message body.
Let me know if his works for you.
Is there supposed to be a delay?
There shouldn't be any delay for the confirmation, when testing on my end the email is received within the seconds.
This might be some mail server side setting, did you tried setting up software like Thunderbird or similar to manage your email to see if the email are received immediately there?

In terms of technology, we're going to see a better and more immediate experience around the everyday things we do in life
Jack Dorsey doesn't have a desk. Instead of a desk, Dorsey uses an iPad. That's it.
Growing up, Jack Dorsey had a speech impediment. To this day, Dorsey isn't a comfortable communicator. "I can be silent at some times which unsettles people a bit, because they don't know what I'm thinking," he tells 60 Minutes. "Do I feel like I'm an expert in having a normal conversation face-to-face? Absolutely not. That's just not my natural state."
Dorsey was really into trains and maps as a kid. He used to spend hours at the train yards. When he was a teenager, he built a way to track emergency vehicles on a map.
He also used to listening to emergency dispatches on a police scanner. Those experiences inspired him to create Twitter. "They're always talking about where they're going, what they're doing and where they currently are," Dorsey tells 60 Minutes. "And that is where the idea for Twitter came was now we all have these cell phones…And suddenly we could update where I was, what I'm doing, where I'm going, how I feel. And then it would go out to the entire world."
Dorsey finds it a little offensive when he's called a nerd. Forbes called him a nerd in a recent article. Even though the publication meant it to be endearing, Dorsey wasn't pleased. "[I found it] insulting," Dorsey says. "[That] I'm 'more of a nerd than Steve Jobs.' I think the reference was because I was a programmer. So if that is the nerdy way, then guilty. I'm a nerd."
To inspire employees, Dorsey takes them to the Golden Gate Bridge. Specifically, he takes them to Lands End. He thinks good software should operate like a bridge. People shouldn't be thinking about the engineering behind it. They should think of it as functional and simple. "We see the bridge as like this perfect intersection between art and engineering. It has pure utility, in that people commute on it every single day," he says. "When people come to Twitter and they want to express something in the world, the technology fades away."
Jack Dorsey first moved to Manhattan when he was 19. He aspires to be the city's mayor someday. "[New York City is] kinda like being in a car in the middle of a thunderstorm, right," says Dorsey. "Everything is raging around you, but you're safe inside that car. So New York feels very much to me like that."
Jack Dorsey was born on November 19, 1976, in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, to Marcia Smith and Tim Dorsey.
His father was an engineer of medical equipment and worked for a company that developed mass spectrometers. As a result of his father's job which required the family to move frequently from one place to another, young Jack developed a love for maps.
He went to Bishop du Bourg High School in St. Louis, Missouri. He was known to be a quiet boy as he suffered from stuttering. Jack was determined to overcome this challenge and participated in a variety of oratory competitions and was finally able to speak normally.
He developed an early interest in computers and was a member of his school's computer club. He also spent considerable time studying the available model of IBM computers.
His childhood fascination with maps developed into a serious hobby in his teenage. He became interested in the challenges of coordinating the taxicabs, delivery vans, ambulances, etc. and created software programs for taxi dispatching and firefighting services when he was just 15.
After high school he enrolled at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Eventually he transferred to New York University. It was here that he came up with the idea of sharing short messages with friends easily in order to update them on his status. He did not stay long enough in the university to complete his degree and dropped out.
He was included in the MIT Technology Review TR35 as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35, in 2008.
He was awarded the "Innovator of the Year Award" for technology by 'The Wall Street Journal' in 2012.
Bishop DuBourg High School
Polytechnic Institute Of New York University
Jack Dorsey started working as a programmer and moved to Oakland, California in 2000 in search of better career prospects. He started a company to dispatch taxis, couriers and emergency services using his dispatch software.
During this time he also started getting serious about his idea for a short message communication service that would update his friends about his status in real-time.
Meanwhile his company failed and Dorsey struggled for the next few years. He made his living by freelancing and even went to massage therapy courses. However, he never forgot his dream of creating the short message service he had envisioned.
He approached Odeo, a directory and search destination website, which was showing interest in text messaging. He managed to attract the interest of Odeo co-founder Evan Williams and one of the company's executives, Biz Stone.
In October 2006, Dorsey, along with Biz Stone, Evan Williams, and some other members of Odeo, formed Obvious Corporation which later evolved into "Twitter". Within two weeks Dorsey created a simple site where users could instantly post short messages of 140 characters or less called "tweets".
Initially Dorsey served as Twitter's CEO and in 2008 Williams took over the role of CEO, while Dorsey became chairman of the board. The company grew rapidly and within five years of its founding, Twitter users were sending 50 million tweets per day.
In 2009, Dorsey teamed up with fellow entrepreneur and computer science engineer Jim McKelvey to form Square Inc. Primarily started as a mobile payments company, Square eventually branched into financial and merchant services as well. The company is a fast growing one and Dorsey serves as its CEO.

Now, we are selling over 5 million songs a day now. Isn't that unbelievable? That's 58 songs every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.
Each year has been so robust with problems and successes and learning experiences and human experienes that a year is a lifetime at Apple. So this has been ten lifetimes.
The reason we wouldn't make a seven-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit a price point, it's because we don't think you can make a great tablet with a seven-inch screen.
The manual for WordStar, the most popular word-processing program, is 400 pages thick. To write a novel, you have to read a novel - one that reads like a mystery to most people. They're not going to learn slash q-z any more than they're going to learn Morse code. That is what Macintosh is all about.

Q: IIS 7.5 Wcf routing service. http header disappears I have set up a wcf routing service (IIS 7.5) to sit between my winforms clients and a back-end server.
I am trying to resolve a bug which is apparently caused by the disappearance of the http header 'Accept-Language'. The client sends this header in the request, but according to fiddler (and the behavior I am observing) the request going out of the iis does not have the 'Accept-Language' header. This causes the server to send back data formatted in en-US locale in stead of the locale specified by the client.
At this url, they give an example of how to do what I want. This is the config I have done based on that (I was doing url rewriting already). The serverVariables part is the bit that is supposed to address my issue:
<system.webServer>
 <!-- These url rewrite rules require the presence of the URL Rewrite 2.0 iis extension -->
 <rewrite>
  <rules>
   <!-- Accept connections to service1.asmx by rewriting that part of the url to WcfRouter.svc/service1 -->
  <rule name="service1Rule" stopProcessing="true">
   <match url="^(.*)svc/service1.asmx" />
   <serverVariables>
    <set name="HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE" value="da-DK" />
   </serverVariables>
   <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}WcfRouter.svc/service1" />
  </rule>
  <!-- Ditto for service2.asmx -->
  <rule name="service2Rule" stopProcessing="true">
   <match url="^(.*)svc/service2.asmx" />
    <serverVariables>
     <set name="HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE" value="da-DK" />
    </serverVariables>
    <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}WcfRouter.svc/service2" />
   </rule>
  </rules>
 </rewrite>

The url rewriting works fine. My only remaining issue is the http header mangling. In IIS manager I have set up HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE as an allowed server variable within the url rewrite module. What am I missing?

A: Turns out the url rewriting wasn't the culprit. The Wcf routing taking place after the url rewriting was mangling my http headers.
To fix it I only had to change
<routing filterTableName="filterTable" />

to
<routing filterTableName="filterTable" soapProcessingEnabled="false" />

in the serviceBehavior
And presto - problem gone! That also means that I could remove the handling of http headers during url rewriting I had added to my config.
My CS professor hit it on the head when he said: "If you can't find the problem it's because it is somewhere else."

Great reading last night, Imran and it was lovely to meet you. I enjoyed Unimagined very much.
Imran,you was robbed, but how generous you are in defeat. This had me howling with laughter and I seriously hope you have another book up your sleeve. Perhaps Imagined - My Life If I Had Won the Karachi Bonny Baby Competition. I mean it could have led to the life a super model who knows?
'Still Here With Me' is a deeply moving book, and best fulfils the criteria for the YoungMind's award.
It was wonderful to see the complete surprise on Suzanne Sjoqvist's face - I don't think the thought that she might win had actually crossed her mind. She came across as a very nice person - the antithesis of arrogance.
Imran, your reading was the highlight of the evening. The 3 minutes and 45 seconds went by so fast. No-one would have minded if you had read for two hours! No wonder there was such a queue to buy your book.
I am kicking myself - I didn't get mine signed!
I loved your book and your readings. It brought back vivid memories of my own childhood. Thank you for your wonderful reading. Please will you sign my copy!


HELP! Evolution swapped inbox with trash!
I clicked on the Empty Trash button and then Evolution seems to have replaced my whole inbox with the contents of the trash. Trash folder is empty, and when I have preview on the inbox lists all the mail that is supposed to be there but the preview window shows a completely different, deleted mail! I tried to open mail from the list too, and the same thing happens; the titles are right but the contents are wrong! Is it time to start to panic now?
It sounds like you hit a bug on Evolution. One chance would be to delete the summary files, and let Evolution recreate them on the next startup. I am not -- at least right now -- giving out instructions because this is always something that should be done carefully, and I would need more data from you -- your Ubuntu version, and the evolution version.

La frite Ras est une sorte de frite reconstituée à partir de flocons de pomme de terre.

En mélangeant la poudre avec de l'eau, on fabrique une espèce de purée qui est alors extrudée dans une machine spéciale sous forme de boudins. Ceux-ci sont ensuite découpés en segments de longueur régulière pour être frits dans les conditions habituelles.

On obtient ainsi des frites, similaires aux frites classiques par leur composition et leur longueur, mais de couleur plus foncée. Leur saveur est également différente de celle des frites habituelles.

Le terme « Ras » est une marque déposée de la société néerlandaise Rixona (filiale du groupe Aviko), spécialisée dans la production de granulés et flocons de pomme de terre.

Looks like you are after free advertising.
Take some home from work.
That looks like the remains of a rear axle breather, most likely fitted as an attempt to stop oil leaks?
A dab of thread lock or bearing retainer and a tap home with a hammer should fix it, being careful not to get thread lock on the spring loaded lever or its pivot point.
Have you checked your dashpot oil level?
1). Did you use a hardener in your top coat?
2). Primer is not necessarily waterproof.
Interesting, I have never heard of a hardener for cellulose paint, it dries by evaporation.
Get two single battery holders, they are not exactly in series, mine has a circuit fed off the centre tap of the two batteries.
It works fine with the smaller 2032 batteries I did mine three years ago and I changed them again last week but they weren't flat.
You're the winner, I do indeed burn it on the Wood burner.
Not recommended burning unseasoned pine but Hey Ho Ho Ho it's only once a year.
I have a real Christmas tree, when I take the decorations down what do I do with the tree?
It is a real tree and it leaves the house but not through the doors or windows.
I think the clue to the mystery is lying beside your car. I have scratched cars by mistake with hose pipes that when wet pick up grit. Paint can be quite soft and easily damaged.
Hope it can be polished out.
Also known as the Jackall system.
Yes keep it negative earth, if the battery is connected the wrong way round it will blow the rectifier diodes in the alternator.
The wiring is no longer standard so is difficult to know what is wrong.
Could you post some photos of the wiring please?
The Headlights should work with ignition off and with no earth strap between engine/gearbox and chassis.

Newsom drops out of governor's race
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who propelled the debate over gay marriage but struggled to find a popular message outside the San Francisco Bay area, dropped his bid for California governor today.
A statement issued by his campaign said he was unable to devote the time needed to run an effective campaign, citing "a young family and responsibilities at City Hall."
"This is not an easy decision," he said. "But it is one made with the best intentions for my wife, my daughter, the residents of the city and county of San Francisco, and California Democrats."
His announcement was not a surprise to those following the Democratic campaign. Newsom, 41, was unable to find the same popularity throughout California that he enjoys in his home city.
Attorney General Jerry Brown had a 7-to-1 fundraising edge over Newsom, even though Brown has not officially announced his candidacy. A Field Poll earlier this month showed Newsom trailing Brown by 20 points among likely Democratic voters.
Newsom failed to gain traction even after holding months of town hall meetings throughout the state and ringing up an endorsement from former President Bill Clinton.
A Clinton fundraiser that had tickets selling at up $50,000 a piece failed to give Newsom the financial boost he needed to compete with a likely run by Brown.
Newsom's exit from the race leaves Brown as the only well-known Democrat seeking the party's nomination. Brown did not immediately return a call seeking comment.


Discussion in 'Testimonials' started by Mossy, Apr 11, 2018.
The main reason for starting this thread is to not derail the magnesium thread and continue the conversation based on Joeyd's comment: "
Well, honestly, hardly anything works for me. If I had one single hack, it would be low dose taurine--that helps me sleep and helps with stress.
When I first starting Peating, my temp and pulse went up, I'd say due to the coffee and sugar increase. Then, a month or so later, they started to fluctuate, for about of period of 4 months, then they went down and stayed down for a couple months. They have now risen back up the past 2-3 weeks, which I may be able to attribute to: a reduction of supplements, an increase in salt, maybe some small doses of choline (saturated and unsaturated), and a reduction of sugar (following Haidut's pro-liver suggestions). Oh, and maybe large vitamin C doses have helped.
It's so hard to pinpoint something as working. And, regardless of my pulse and temp going up, I still feel off to some degree within a day: highly allergic, slow digestion, weakness, light-headedness, and some brain-fog."
I can note this, that with the choline, I did feel very good--the best I've felt in a long time--but, there was something else going on, maybe my homemade solban that amped me up and kept me from sleeping. Though, I don't totally discount the choline, causing sleeplessness--sunflower lecithin has done that to me in the past. I did take salt as Haidut suggested, and it did help to balance things out, but I stopped the choline.
Ultimately, this is my plan of attack: continue large dose of vitamin C (sodium ascorbate), continue with vitamin D3 and K2 5 days a week; limit all other supplements; maintain 5g + salt /day; continue with Haidut's pro-liver suggestions; incorporate some short-term pro N.O. substances (beet juice), and eventually work the choline/MitoLipin back in.
So, talk about a hack, no doubt this is a totally hacked plan, based on a multitude of reasoning.
Recently, Danny had on Emma Sgourakis, a nutrition coach who follows Peat's work, and asked her about her #1 piece of advice to new clients. Her answer: more high-quality protein.
" When you consider that 80/90g is the protein requirement for a small, sedentary female, then it's going to take a lot more than that to meet your basic physiological needs if you are active, a bigger build and/or recovering from illness. You may need anywhere from 120 to 150g (or more) to feel good. And forget about ageing gracefully if you're skimping on protein: no supplement or superfood will make up for it. "
But the devil is in the details here. You'll notice that she's referring to "high-quality protein", not just any protein source.
If you take a look at your daily protein intake, you might be shocked. Not to mention how many "protocols" won't work without enough protein..............food for thought.
Hey @Mossy thanks for starting the thread. I'm very interested in hearing your story because I've not found anyone else who seems to have similar reactions with regards to NO.
I think I mentioned in the other thread that my theory is that all things that raise eNOS seem to really help with sleep quality. eNOS from my research seems to be the only one worth raising, iNOS and nNOS sound very inflammatory and dangerous.
Can you go over again what your main issues are, was it constipation? I know you mentioned severe allergies and food sensitivities.
K2mk4 I also find fantastic. Especially in conjunction with magnesium and vit d.
Progesterone I find a life saver for my panic attacks. It also raises eNOS so improves sleep quality considerably.
We've discussed our similar reaction to Aspirin so I can only really take it during the day.
Choline also seems to be extremely important for me. I'm using Sunflower Lecithin at the moment. Mitolipin was just ok, nothing profound.
Do you find coffee makes you go to the loo almost immediately for a no. 2??
I appreciate and welcome the input.
The protein aspect of Peat is one that resonates well with me--I'm not shy about normally getting 120+ grams a day. Though, I did try deducing it, specifically, by way of eliminating full fat raw milk, to see if that would help with constipation. I tend to think constipation is worse without it.
The area for me that needs more experimentation, and success, is how to move that protein, and all substances, through my system: fiber or no fiber, now that is the question.
I'm now open to a thought that N.O. could be too low, and a contributor to a defunct system, resulting in constipation and infection, in my case. Please note, this is more of a blind (foolish?) attempt at something I haven't tried yet, recognizing that N.O. is something that I've consciously reduced since Peating, and that @Vinero seems to have had an issue with.
For my protein, I eat: raw milk, grass feed beef, liver, smoked oysters, cod, raw cheese, pork rinds, cottage cheese, and eggs. I attempted to add in some brewer's yeast, for the vitamins and minerals, but that tends to add to the constipation issue.
Cooked potato juice is probably the most easily digestible + cheapest protein available (10lbs = around 160G protein due to the available keto acids).
It's a pain to make, but really effective.
You're welcome Joeyd. I'm opening to contributing where I can--though, I'm very new to all this.
I do remember you mentioning the various types of NO, which is new for me. And, if I remember correctly, eNOS is from taurine--the one supplement that seems to help me consistently.
Its hard to list one main issue, but, yeah, I'd say my main focus right now is constipation. I had the longest drought in my life last week, which I believe was related to dehydration. Any given day, I'm dealing with the following: fatigue, allergic/histamine reaction , constipation, anxiety, brain fog, light-headness, cold feet, low temp, low pulse, and now asthmatic/cough issues. Basically, Peat defined sub-clinical hypothyroidism. In the words of a TCM doctor, "your immune system is at zero". The origin is no mystery--stress--which resulted in mental and physical damage. Prolonged stress, mixed with natural aging, I'd say were the fatal combo. I never used to look my age--after 7 years of health issues, now I feel my age--and I'm not that old now (46), but, eventually, age catches up with everyone. After @Amazoniac 's recent post, I'm convinced if I could get things moving, that could be a key component. And, no doubt, from a Peat perspective, a faulty thyroid is a contributor to that.
I want to like K2mk4, and I do take it, but not without issues. It tends to upset my digestion and to make me irritable and just mess with my hormone balance; these are issues that @sladerunner69 has as well (maybe not the digestive).
I did try a single small dose of topical progesterone once and it was very effective with stress/serotonin symptoms. This is just too funny, but I have to share it--I did attempt to buy progesterone from IdeaLabs, but I bought pregnenolone by mistake! ...haha! It's no big deal, I'm not against taking pregnenolone, but I was wanting to start progesterone. I have a load of pregnenolone already, but maybe Haidut's is better.
So, you get no reaction from choline, with regard to sleep/insomnia?
Oh, man, I wish coffee made me go to the loo! It used to, like clock work, early on. So, that is why my main focus is on constipation right now--it would seem to be key to get better things.
I think I remember you mentioning this on another thread. I did try to make this about 6 months ago, but I could never get it to scramble--which would be my preferred method to eat it. Have you ever had success with this?
I meant to ask you about this. What type of magnesium do you take and do you take it at the same time as the D and K? Also, do you use E and aspirin for thinning, or just aspirin?
I haven't, but I do think I understand how to make the scramble now. after some trial and error.
The key apparently is to cook it on low (3/10) heat until you see the keto acids float to the top in an egg-like substance, then fry that in a pan.
I do the same, but just cook it all for 2hrs and then blend it into a "soup" that I mix with instant coffee + sugar throughout the day (always warmed in the microwave). 10lbs of potatoes makes around 16 ounces of cooked juice (soup).
Personally, I only get magnesium from coffee now.
Holy potatoes, that's a 10:1 ratio. Potatoes used to be the cheapest priced food on earth--but, low and behold, they've found a way to mark everything up. A 10lb bag of organic potatoes, which yields 1lb of juice, could get costly. That, mixed with the time-cost, is a definite investment. I'm just thinking out loud, and am not refuting or negating your perspective--it could possibly be the catalyst to good things.
Right now, I couldn't drink enough coffee to get enough magnesium from it. For some reason, I can't tolerate nearly as much as I used to. I know the Peatish answer is a poor liver, which is a point of focus for me as well.
Personally, I don't buy organic potatoes as they are rarely available for a reasonable price here, so I just go with Russet potatoes which run around $6/10lb bag (equal to around 160G of protein, which is around the price of a gallon of milk).
I actually cook them longer for less liquid, so you could get much more if you prefer a proper soup-stock.
A cheaper approach would be BCAAs, but Impower is the only full-spectrum that I've seen, and they're currently sold out.
or as I like to say bacteria, fungus, parasites oh my!
Vitamin C. Constipation be gone.
+1 - probably Idealab's most underrated product.........but very potent!!!
Hey Obi-wan, I do remember reading that, that Lapodin has helped. I also remember reading that MitoLipin has helped as well--do you have any experience with that supp?
Please post back with any results from oil of oregano. I do have that on hand.
Hi Janelle525, your avatar threw me for a second--but it's the same Janelle525 I see.
I am still trying C, but no miracles yet. It does seem to help at times, but nothing that would impress a Turk, like three times a day--once a day, and it's a degree of victory. Even on the days I take 4 grams, I still think it tends towards constipation. I guess logic would say, increase it until it works.
Hey Law, do you have any experience with MitoLipin?
Yes - I went through 2 bottles (orally) but didn't notice anything significant.
Idealabs Vitamin E is probably a better deal. Just my opinion.
HUGE Apologies For This - Joining Hackstasis?

H5N2 is a subtype of the species Influenzavirus A (avian influenza virus or bird flu virus). The subtype infects a wide variety of birds, including chickens, ducks, turkeys, falcons, and ostriches. Affected birds usually do not appear ill, and the disease is often mild as avian influenza viral subtypes go. Some variants of the subtype are much more pathogenic than others, and outbreaks of "high-path" H5N2 result in the culling of thousands of birds in poultry farms from time to time. It appears that people who work with birds can be infected by the virus, but suffer hardly any noticeable health effects. Even people exposed to the highly pathogenic H5N2 variety that killed ostrich chicks in South Africa only seem to have developed conjunctivitis, or a perhaps a mild respiratory illness. There is no evidence of human-to-human spread of H5N2. On November 12, 2005 it was reported that a falcon was found to have H5N2.[1]

Vaccine[edit]
In China, inactivated H5N2 has been effectively used as a poultry vaccine for H5N1.[2]
Epidemiology[edit]
In December 2017, the Paris-based World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) announced that the Russian ministry of agriculture detected highly pathogenic H5N2 that led to the culling of more than 660,000 birds in Kostroma Oblast, Central Federal District.[3][4] Owners reported that the chickens stopped breathing and their combs became bluish. The factory was affected by the virus at least twice during the year. The investigation later found that the forage wasn't thermally disinfected before dispersion and water was of low quality.[4]
South Korea[edit]
In Korea, ducks have been destroyed at the farm since quarantine officials detected the suspected low pathogenic H5N2 strain of avian influenza on December 1, 2004.[5]
In Japan, H5N2 virus was isolated or an anti-H5 antibody was identified from chickens in 40 chicken farms in Ibaraki Prefecture and in one chicken farm in Saitama Prefecture from June through December 2005. The strain was named as A/ chicken /Ibaraki/1/2005(H5N2).[6] About 5.7 million birds were destroyed in Ibaraki following the H5N2 outbreaks.
In Taiwan, an outbreak of H5N2 was confirmed in December 2008.[7]
In March 2012, the first documented occurrence in Taiwan of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N2 was reported to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). The outbreak began in February 2012.[8]
Sri Lanka[edit]
In Sri Lanka outbreak of H5N2 in Bingiriya have been confirmed by the Health Ministry in January 2012. Around 5000-6000 chicken were destroyed, after some of them were confirmed having infected with H5N2.[9] [10]
South Africa[edit]
In 2006, an H5N2 outbreak on a single farm in South Africa resulted in the destruction of all its sixty ostriches. The strain was similar to the one that caused outbreaks in South Africa 2004/2005.[11]
In 2012 a strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza is devastating the South African commercial ostrich industry with 41,000 birds already been reported culled.[12]
Low pathogenic avian influenza H5N2 virus in poultry later gained accentuated virulence in the United States [13] and Mexico.[14] A highly pathogenic strain of H5N2 caused flu outbreaks with significant spread to numerous farms, resulting in great economic losses in 1983 in Pennsylvania, USA in chickens and turkeys, in 1994 in Mexico in chickens and a minor outbreak in 1997 in Italy in chickens.[15]
In February 2004, an outbreak occurred in Texas and the affected flock was culled without any further transmission.[16]
In 2007, a low-pathogenic strain of H5N2 was found in samples collected from 25,000 turkeys in West Virginia in a routine testing prior to their slaughter. The birds showed no sign of illness or mortality. Measures were taken to prevent the virus from mutating and spreading.[17]
In 2015, an outbreak of H5N2 was identified in a series of chicken and turkey farming operations in the Midwestern region of the United States. As of 30 May, more than 43 million birds in 15 states had been destroyed as a result of the outbreak, including nearly 30 million in Iowa alone, the nation's largest egg producer.[18]
In January 2017, the US Department of Agriculture announced that H5N2 was discovered on a duck in Fergus County, Montana.[19]
In February 2009, a commercial turkey farm in Abbottsford, British Columbia (the Fraser Valley) was struck with a H5N2 outbreak, and 36 sites were quarantined as precautionary measure.[20]
In July 2016, a duck farm "near St. Catharines, Ontario" was the site of an outbreak of H5N2. The CFIA directed the biological heat treatment of the compost at the infected premises to ensure that a reservoir for the virus was destroyed.[21]
In late 2007 (December 21), an H5N2 outbreak was found in the Dominican Republic. 15 roosters and 2 hens were eliminated even though they had no visible sign of infection.[22]
In October 2017, the Dominican Department of Agriculture announced that H5N2 was discovered on several chicken in Moca, Dominican Republic, in a northern province of the country.[23]
In May and June 2008, there were three outbreaks of low-pathogenic H5N2 avian flu in birds at three locations in the central, northern, and southern parts of Haiti.[24]
H5N2 and humans[edit]
Japan's Health Ministry said in January, 2006 that poultry farm workers in Ibaraki prefecture may have been exposed to H5N2 (which was not previously known to infect humans) in 2005.[25] Data were collected from 257 workers at 35 chicken farms by Ibaraki prefectural government. It was determined that their H5N2 antibody titers after the outbreak were significantly higher than those collected prior to the outbreak.[26]
