I need some advice. I have one last piece of pork belly confit in the fridge. I brined these bad boys for about 5 days (brine included pink curing salt), vacuum sealed the squares of pork belly with lard and sous vide them at 158 F for 16 hours. I cooked this on 11/10/16 and its been in my refrigerator since.
Here is the general recipe I followed, with some modifications based on my taste: https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/...
The last piece is still vacuum sealed and submerged (mostly) in lard. Any visible pork only has contact with the bag.
It's staring at me. And calling my name.
I want to deep fry this sucker and have a little date night with the handsome devil I see in the mirror every morning, but the last thing I want is spoiled food. I can't find any conclusive information about how long pork confit lasts for. I've only seen references that duck confit or in general that the confit technique will last for months in the fridge. I have found no sources which directly addresses pork confit.
Questions/Factors I'm Considering:
- Does pork confit keep for as long as duck confit?
- Does vacuum sealing have any effect on the length of preservation?
- Does sous-vide cooking method affect the length of preservation?
I know I am probably being a bit paranoid, but I thought I would do my due diligence before taking the plunge, so to speak. Any advice on these questions would be extremely helpful and appreciated!

PS - you should totally make this if you are into sous vide, confit, food, or have any respect for the enjoyment of life. Flash-searing these things after cooking was OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Host's note: this delicious topic is continued from What Are You Cooking Sous Vide Today? (Part 2)
Duck breast, 57C for 90 min, pre and post sous-vide sear.
So the texture was not significantly different from what I get with my usual technique, which is grilling over charcoal. But it's more uniformly pink, and there are no slightly overdone spots. I am pleased with the results even though searing in the house means a ton of smoke and duck fat everywhere! (I did it on the stove in a cast iron skillet, next time I will place the skillet in the oven)

Is it possible to put a rub on a sous vide item?
I'm cooking pig wings here and I'm trying to figure how to finish them. This looks good but would require a rub.
By eG Forums Host
Welcome to the index for the Sous Vide: Recipes, Techniques, & Equipment topic, one of the largest and most influential topics on eG Forums. (The topic has been closed to keep the index stable and reliable; you can find another general SV discussion topic here.) This index is intended to help you navigate the thousands of posts and discussions to make this rich resource more useful and accessible.
In order to understand sous vide cooking, it's best to clear up some misconceptions and explain some basics. Sous vide cooking involves vacuum-sealing food in a plastic bag and cooking it in a water bath at precise temperatures. Though it translates literally as "under vacuum," "Sous vide" is often taken to mean "under pressure," which is a misnomer; not all SV cooking involves food cooked in conditions that exceed atmospheric pressure. (See below.) In addition, calculations for SV cooking involve not only time and temperature but also thickness. Finally, due to the anaerobic conditions inside the bag and the low temperatures used, food safety issues are paramount.
You can read the basics of SV cooking and equipment here. In the summer of 2005, Nathan Myhrvold (Society member nathanm) posted this informative, "I'm now going to answer my own initial questions" post, which addresses just about everything up to that point. For what came next, read on -- and be sure to order Nathan Myhrvold's highly anticipated Modernist Cuisine book, due in spring 2011.
As with all indexes of on-going discussions, this one has limitations. We've done our best to create a user-friendly taxonomy emphasizing the categories that have come up repeatedly. In addition, the science, technology, and recipes changed over time, and opinions varied greatly, so be sure to read updated information whenever possible.
Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep these issues in mind when reading the topic, and particularly when considering controversial topics related to food safety, doneness, delta T cooking, and so on. Don't read a first post's definitive claim without reading down the topic, where you'll likely find discussion, if not heated debate or refutation, of that claim. Links go to the first post in a series that may be discontinuous, so be sure to scan a bit more to get the full discussion.
Recipes were chosen based solely on having a clear set of information, not on merit. Indeed, we've included several stated failures for reference. Where possible, recipes include temperature and time in the link label -- but remember that thickness is also a crucial variable in many SV preparations. (See below for more information on thickness.)
History, Philosophy & Value of SV/LTLT Cooking
Over the years, we've talked quite a bit about SV as a concept, starting with this discussion about how SV cooking got started. There have also been several people who asked, Why bother with SV in the first place? (See also this discussion.) What with all the electronics and plastic bags, we asked: Does SV food lack passion? Finally, there have been several discussions about the value of SV cooking in other eG Forums topics, such as the future of SV cooking, No More Sous Vide -- PLEASE!, is SV "real cooking," and what's the appeal of SV?
Those who embrace SV initially seek ideas about the best applications for their new equipment. Discussions have focused on what a first SV meal should be -- see also this discussion -- and on the items for which SV/LTLT cooking is best suited. There's much more along those lines here, here, and here.
Vacuums and Pressure in Sous Vide Cooking
As mentioned above, there has been great confusion about vacuums, pressure, and their role SV cooking. Here is a selection of discussion points on the subject, arranged chronologically; please note that later posts in a given discussion may refute earlier ones:
Do you need a vacuum for SV cooking, and, if so, why? What exactly is a "vacuum"? Click here, here, and ff. Are items in vacuum-sealed bags "under pressure"? Does a vacuum sealer create a vacuum inside the bag? Do you really need a vacuum, or can you use ZipLoc bags? Also see here, here, and here. If "sous vide" means "under pressure," aren't the items in the bag under pressure? There is more along these lines to be found in this discussion.
The Charts
We've collected the most important of many charts in the SV topic here. Standing above the rest are Nathan Myhrvold's charts for cooking time versus thickness and desired core temperature. We worked with him to create these three reformatted protein tables, for beef, fish, and chicken & pork.
Nathan provides additional information on his charts here. Information on how to read these charts can be found in this post. For an explanation of "rest time" in Nathan's tables, click here.
Other Society members helped out as well. Douglas Baldwin references his heating time table for different geometric factors (slab/cylinder/sphere) here; the pdf itself can be found here. pounce created a post with all three tables as neatly formatted images. derekslager created two monospace font charts of Nathan's meat table and his fish table.
Camano Chef created a cumulative chart with information gathered from other sources including Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc. Douglas Baldwin shared this chart devoted to pasteurizing poultry. PedroG detailed heat loss and steady state energy consumption of sous vide cookers in these charts.
Finally, there is also an eG Forums topic on cooling rates that may be of interest.

Wikipedia defines pork wings as: a pork product made from the fibula of a pig's shank - a single bone surrounded by lean, tender meat.
Images from the internet look like a finger-size bit of meat around a bone.
Mine, however, look more like the meat (lots) which surrounds a bone. My butcher called this cut pork wings.
You can see on the right that there's a small amount of bone.
My butcher said he regularly ate SEVERAL of these. But this one measures 15 oz (425g).
He also said it had to be cooked slowly.
So, if I cook these sous vide, what temp and for how long?

Toronto's Redmann and Van Huizen head to playoffs on beach volleyball World Tour
MOSCOW – Christian Redmann and Richard Van Huizen of Toronto advanced to the playoff round despite two losses on Friday at the fifth stop on the beach volleyball World Tour circuit.
For the women, Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle, Que., and Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que., were eliminated in the first round of their playoff.
After upsetting the sixth-seed German pair on Thursday to open the round robin, Redmann and Van Huizen lost to 11th seeds Harley Marques Silva and Pedro Solberg Salgado of Brazil 21-14, 21-17 and 22nd seeds Matthew Fuerbringer and Nicholas Lucena of the U.S., 23-21, 21-19.
The Americans win the pool at 3-0 and advance directly to the second round of the playoffs (round of 16). The 27th seeded Canadians and Brazilians meanwhile head to the first playoff round on Saturday. Redmann and Van Huizen face number-17 Casey Jennings and Bradley Keenan of the U.S.
In women's play, Lessard and Martin were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs falling to 13th seeds Simone Kuhn and Nadine Zumkehr of Switzerland 21-19, 21-18. The Canadians, seeded 22nd, had beaten the Swiss in their previous two encounters.
"We played a good match today (Friday)," said Lessard. "It was close but they served deep which made it hard for us to organize an attack at the net. Overall for the tournament, we're pleased with our performance. We gained a lot of momentum (by winning some matches)."
The Canadian pair opened the tournament by winning its two qualifying matches then went 1-2 in the main draw in round robin. They will rank 17th.

The latest "Retirement Confidence Survey" released by the Employee Benefit Research Institute might be better titled the "Retirement Uncertainty Survey." Almost half of the workers surveyed said they have little or no confidence about having enough money to retire comfortably.
Personal debt, declining savings levels, concerns over rising health care costs and possible job loss were among the chief worries of those surveyed. But what really jumped out at me was that less than half of the respondents said they had attempted to figure out how much they'll need to save for retirement.
In my new book, How to Retire the Cheapskate Way: The Ultimate Cheapskate's Guide to a Better, Earlier, Happier Retirement, I encourage you to become the CFO — Chief Frugal Officer — of your household. Fully understanding and controlling your spending is as important when planning for retirement as smart investing. You need to figure out exactly where your money goes today and where it will be spent when you're retired.
Here are five key principles for how to retire the cheapskate way.
1: Live not just within your means, but consistently below your means throughout your working years.
Spending less than you earn sounds simple enough, but it's quite rare. A 2012 survey by the American Payroll Association found that more than two-thirds of Americans report living paycheck to paycheck.
Cheapskates frequently adopt what I call a "permanent standard of living." They decide at a relatively young age that they're content with the lifestyle they're leading. So, even when they make more money, they refuse to increase their spending. Avoiding this "lifestyle creep" allows them to live marginally below their means. Financial security and the peace of mind that comes with it are the trade-off for not always driving a new car or constantly hopping from one house to a larger, more-expensive home.
By adopting this approach, frugal folks are able to set aside greater savings for retirement throughout their income-earning years. So, later in life, they won't need to gamble on risky investments in an attempt to make up for lost time. By living below their means, cheapskates have been test-driving their retirement budgets and lifestyles for years. Once retired, their spending and lifestyles typically change very little.
2: Retire your debt before you retire.
Cheapskates are hard-liners when it comes to debt. With few exceptions, they live by the old school saying, "If you can't afford to pay for it now, you simply can't afford it." They avoid debt like the plague, and when they do take on debt — most commonly in the form of a home mortgage — they place the highest financial priority on paying it off as quickly as possible. With the average American estimated to spend more than $600,000 on interest in their life, cheapskates accrue huge savings by avoiding debt and banking what they would otherwise pay in interest.
When it comes to retirement, cheapskates believe that — almost by definition — you're not ready to retire until you've retired any personal debt, including paying off your home mortgage. In fact, they feel so strongly about it that they advocate selling off assets or postponing retirement in order to retire debt-free.

Like any coach in any sport, John A. Logan head men's basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters is starting the season with a blank canvas.
The former Harrisburg High School standout, as well as, Southern Illinois University star, has a talented paint palette and plenty of brushes in hand for the upcoming season, while a lot of talk surrounds the masterpiece that will be the Volunteers this season.
Smithpeters isn't quick to unveil an unfinished product, but if he's going to be revered as a modern-day Michaelangelo, he's quick to point out his acute attention to detail.
"It's important that our guys understand how important it is to play hard every play," Smithpeters said at Tuesday's John A. Logan Media Day at the Carterville campus.
"It's important for them to do the right thing, like be on time and things like that. It's those life skills that I think translate onto the basketball court. On top of that, I think those expectations lead to really good things happening, in the classroom or on the basketball court.
"On top of that, I think those expectations lead to really good things happening on and off of the court when you hold these guys accountable. That's all a lot of them have ever wanted, is to be held accountable."
Expectations aren't just high for the Volunteers this season — they're through the ceiling.
However, it might pale into comparison to the notoriety that Smithpeters' kids have been receiving during the offseason with college coaches and NBA scouts invading Williamson County to get a sneak peak.
One of those accountable pieces that will be counted on is Alabama State transfer Terrelle Green, a 6-foot-2 point guard from Chicago Simeon that is creating a lot of buzz in Carterville.
Green is a solid decision-maker who combines good size, with a strong frame, and an ability to score the basketball.
According to www.hoops247.com, Smithpeters noted that Green already has offers from Indiana State and Eastern Illinois, while Southern Illinois, Bradley, Wichita State, Marshall, Murray State and Eastern Kentucky all showing interest in the former Chicago Simeon standout.
"Green figures to remain a popular recruiting target running the show for a team that figures to be among the best in the country," the website said.
To counter with Green, Logan has 6-foot-9 center Kaylen Shane that is regarded as the best junior college post prospects in the country.
Shane is a load inside with his physical strength and bulk and he does a tremendous job of carving space out on the interior and backing his way into the paint," hoops247.com's website says. "Shane is great finishing around the hoop with his strength and power. He finishes well through contact and seeks it out. The sophomore also has shown some potential with quick moves on the block including an intriguing jump hook.
Page 2 of 2 - "Shane is a plus rebounder that boxes his man out and snatches the ball out of the air. He is a great post defender as he stones his opponent as they attempt to make their move. The center is an aggressive defender that pushes his man off the block and plays with energy on that end."
Shane, from Chicago's Crane High School, joins other Windy City products DeVaugh Johnson from Bogan High School, along with, Darien Walker, Russell Woods and Sondale Conner from Simeon High School.
Other Vols include Peoria Manual's A.J. Riley, St. Louis Madison Prep's Martavian Payne, and Hazelwood Central's Jordan Martin, along with, Woodford County, Kentucky's Jay Johnson.
Locally, John A. Logan grabbed the Herrin duo of Justin Lukens and Bobbie Mannie, Chester's Reed Koeneman and Murphysboro's Pierre House.
Logan returns five players from a year ago that include Shane, Conner, House, Jay Johnson and DeVaughn Johnson
One thing that Smithpeters has preached from the onset is scheduling. His team gets a good taste when John A. Logan makes their Jamboree debut Sunday at Vincennes ahead of opening the season at their own John A. Logan Invitational November 1-2.
"The first five games of schedule will be very telling of where we stand," Smithpeters said. "If we can walk through there, winning a majority of those, it will be very telling of where we're at. If we end up getting our tails kicked then we have a lot of work to do, but as far as ability and talent, we have very good pieces at every position and they keep things very competitive.
"When you can go 1- or 2-deep at each spot, that makes it very good in game situations, whether it be injury or fouls or things you can't predict or help in a game."
With one year under his belt, Smithpeters said the biggest lesson he learned in year one was you're no long the opinion.
"You gotta make a lot of tough decisions and I'm a lot more prepared for that. I think that's the biggest thing as a head coach that people don't realize until you sit in that seat is there are lot of of decisions you have to make. You're no long the opinion, the buck stops at you and being much more prepared for that, I think it will be an easier ride."
As for the ride with his team, Smithpeters is slow to make any concrete predictions.
"That blank canvas can turn into something and I believe we have a lot of pieces in place to make it something really nice."

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health received 181 applications from people and groups looking to open medical marijuana dispensaries. Forty-two of those want to set up shop in Western or Central Massachusetts.
By law, each county will get at least one but not more than five medical marijuana dispensaries.
According to a list released by the state Friday afternoon, Worcester had the most applicants out of Central and Western Massachusetts counties, with 14. Berkshire County had the fewest dispensary hopefuls in the region, with just three.
More specific city or town locations weren't required on these initial applications.
"Phase two is when we will require them to work with municipalities to identify where they would operate and to get municipal support," Cheryl Bartlett, commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, told reporters on Thursday.
To get to the second phase, applicants now have to pass financial and background checks. The state plans to award the medical marijuana dispensary licenses by the end of the year.

If revenge is in the air at Twickenham then the same can be said for the Millennium Stadium when Wales tackle Argentina this Saturday.
If revenge is in the air at Twickenham then the same can be said for Cardiff when the Welsh take on Argentina.
One year ago it was the Pumas' day of joy as they won 26-12 thanks to tries from Juan Imhoff and Gonzalo Camacho not being answered by Wales.
Then led by Rob Howley, the hosts lived off Leigh Halfpenny's boot and were, like this year, without Dan Lydiate, Jonathan Davies and Adam Jones.
Argentina meanwhile had a stronger back-three which included the aforementioned duo and Juan Martin Hernandez whereas this year it's JoaquÃn Tuculet, Horacio Agulla and Santiago Cordero. Compounding that fact is that prop Juan Figallo and flank Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe are out.
The visiting forward pack still remains relatively solid, however, as Maximiliano Bustos and Marcos Ayerza look to get stuck into two players at the opposite end of the career spectrum. They are 100 cap Gethin Jenkins and Scarlets tighthead Rhodri Jones, who earns his third international appearance in red. Fellow youngster Samson Lee will also enjoy some game-time when he comes on and is definitely one with a promising future who deserves an opportunity.
Despite going down to South Africa, Wales were impressive last weekend and had centre Davies not gone off, who knows how many more times he would have sliced through the Springbok midfield. Unfortunately for the soon-to-be Clermont man his injury was serious so there's a change that sees Cardiff Blues youngster Cory Allen come in. Those who have watched the RaboDirect PRO12 and Heineken Cup will know he has bags of potential.
In truth it is an exciting, if untried, backline that includes Dan Biggar at ten alongside the unattached Mike Phillips, with James Hook waiting should Warren Gatland want a change.
"It was always our intention to give Dan and Rhys one game each at the start of the series and it's Dan chance this week," said the coach ahead of their penultimate game of 2013.
"Last weekend (a tough international against the Springboks) will stand us in good stead in terms of physicality and intensity as Saturday will be a huge battle against Argentina."
That it will as the Pumas showed their worth in the second 40 at Twickenham, with criticism of England wrongly outweighing Argentina's strengths as the likes of Nicolás Sanchez led the revival. Wales may recall that in 2012 the Pumas shone with two tries on the hour mark.
But with attacking threats of their own that includes a mouth-watering back-row trio, the Welsh should have too much firepower in the tank. Expect a home win here with a backline from numbers 11 to 14 – which boasts an average age of just 21 and a half – to shine.
Ones to watch:
For Wales: Eyes will of course be on the likes of tighthead prop Rhodri Jones and outside centre Cory Allen but it is George North who we select here after Rob Howley publicly challenged the wing to recapture his Lions form. The last time we saw North fired up he was carrying Israel Folau like a bag of cement and sprinting over for an epic try against the Wallabies so wing Santiago Cordero should expect a tough afternoon on Saturday.
For Argentina: The more I see of Nicolás Sanchez the more I'm impressed. The fly-half has consistently produced the goods for Argentina, despite regularly being under pressure with a lack of front foot ball. He is strong in defence and his two drop-goals last year in Cardiff showed he has both skills and the necessary cool head for international rugby. Sanchez's personal duel with Dan Biggar should be an interesting one at the Millennium Stadium.
Head-to-head: Both these Junior World Championship graduates find themselves out of position from their usual openside berths this week as Sam Warburton meets Pablo Matera on the blindside flank. Warburton makes may for Justin Tipuric because of Dan Lydiate's absence while Matera has swapped places with Julio Farias Cabello due to influential captain Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe being out. Let battle commence.
Recent results:
2012: Argentina won 26-12 in Cardiff
2011: Wales won 28-13 in Cardiff
2009: Wales won 33-16 in Cardiff
2007: Wales won 27-20 in Cardiff
2006: Argentina won 45-27 in Buenos Aires
Prediction: No repeat of 2012. Wales to win this by 8 points!
The teams:
Wales: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 George North, 13 Cory Allen, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Liam Williams, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Mike Phillips, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Sam Warburton (c), 5 Alun-Wyn Jones, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Rhodri Jones, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Gethin Jenkins.
Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Paul James, 18 Samson Lee, 19 Luke Charteris, 20 Ryan Jones, 21 Lloyd Williams, 22 James Hook, 23 Ashley Beck.
Argentina: 15 JoaquÃn Tuculet, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Marcelo Bosch, 12 Santiago Fernández, 11 Santiago Cordero, 10 Nicolás Sanchez, 9 Martin Landajo, 8 Juan Manuel Leguizamón (c), 7 Julio Farias Cabello, 6 Pablo Matera, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Manuel Carizza, 3 Maximiliano Bustos, 2 Eusebio Guiñazú, 1 Marcos Ayerza.
Replacements: 16 Santiago Iglesias Valdez, 17 Nahuel Lobo, 18 MatÃas DÃaz, 19 Tomás Lavanini, 20 Leonardo Senatore, 21 Tomas Cubelli, 22 Gabriel Ascárate, 23 Lucas González Amorosino.

Mel doesn't have a school age daughter – I don't know what his latest baby is, but I know it's not in high school yet.
If it's Brolin, I just lost my "election".ReplyCancel
Josh has a son and a daughter. The son is Trevor, 26.ReplyCancel
Mel's only daughter Hannah [the rest were all boys] from his first marriage is 34 and Lucia is 4.ReplyCancel
@Sherry—like that movie American Beauty! gross….ReplyCancel
Has Josh ever been A list? ???
Bruce's daughters are out of school/or never went…and I'm sure they always drove since the day they turned 16.
A list sometimes, who likes the sauce, with school age daughter….ReplyCancel
Ryan Phillippee. ? Hope not.ReplyCancel
I have a college friend who, while we were in college, had to suffer through her parents' marriage ending due to her college professor daddy having an affair with a student. Thank God he lived several hours away from us – she didn't have to suffer the indignity up close. But we did go see her dad once while he was shacked up with the girl.ReplyCancel
My first laugh of the morning!ReplyCancel
I hadn't heard Josh was sober and never heard Clint was a drunk.ReplyCancel
@sherry: it was only funny on Don't Trust that B…ReplyCancel
Ew, Dad, gross!ReplyCancel
I think its someone with a college age daughter.
I can't think of anyone besides Brolin.ReplyCancel
He is single and dating at the same time? I thought "single" meant "no one attached", and this was "unmarried" or something. Everyday I learn something about English language, in a couple of years I will probably only make a couple of mistakes every ten words.ReplyCancel
jeezus i hope this is college.ReplyCancel
In my day, "Do you have a boyfriend?" or "Are you dating anyone?" were the polite ways to ask if someone was attached. "Are you single?" was someone asking if you were married. Following that logic, this blind intimates that this person is newly divorced.
I'm guessing this is my new fantasy crush, Josh Brolin.ReplyCancel
Brolin's a good guess. Noted alcohol issues, off and on A-list and publicly being with one person has never stopped him from seeing other people.
He's exactly the kind of boundary-free douche who'd hit on his daughter's friend.
I saw Mel G recently – he doesn't look so bad, actually quite fit and he was with a woman his own age and his daughter
I wish we could see more of Diane Lane now that Brolin is out of the picture – I think she is crazy beautifulReplyCancel
@teresa crane
@Tricia S
Another Diane Lane fan, here! She is not only one of the most beautiful and sexy actresses but she projects intelligence, too. I wish she'd gotten Michelle Pfieffer's roles. Think how great she'd have been in 'Scarface', 'The Witches of Eastwick', 'The Fabulous Baker Boys', 'The Age of Innocence' and as Catwoman!
Get dat tight tight, brutha!ReplyCancel
@yoj…very astute…pfeiffers roles were catered to her, range, and indisputable beauty. However, Ms Lane has always had a sorta….devil may care, organic earthy appeal…few have;and her star turn in that Tuscan sunset movie(sorry:() was impressive because she makes everything look and feel good…In addition, she's upheld a classy, stoic, private life…ms. Roberts should have taken a page from her book…and look(she wishes..)
New thought:Diane Lane replaces Julia Roberts in Pretty woman the sequel….pretty-ier woman:)
HWOOD males age 35-60 who aren't in stable marriages –>> all gross horn-dod deviant pigs who'd f**k their own daughters too. It's just a matter of time.ReplyCancel
@Tricia S
That's my point exactly, Tricia. She (Diane) is always great in every role, but she's never been given roles that are worthy of her.
'Unfaithful' is the perfect example. Do you think anyone involved in making that film believed it could receive an Oscar nomination? Imagine Sharon Stone being nominated for 'Basic Instinct' or Demi Moore for 'Indecent Proposal', it's laughable.
@yoj…as always with you…agreed.
Sharon, to her credit , was formidable in casino..not so much BI
But Demi and her um…body of work, pales in comparison…to ms. Lane . I daresay the edgier role in the short lived cable series-cinema verite…was a gage ..
She's…deceptively/ and subtebly poignant..and we need more of her:)
@ Yoj—um hello she played Cherry in the OUTSIDERS!!!!!!!!!ReplyCancel
@derek harvey
Yeah, when she was eighteen. It's a good role, but she's a supporting player in a male-driven story. As always, she's great as Cherry and as Patty in 'Rumble Fish'. So why was she only given crappy jobs for the rest of the decade?
I'm left wondering if it's the same problem that Linda Fiorentino (another one with that "earthy appeal" Tricia referred to) had, namely unpopularity within the industry. If you're not pulling in an audience, then people aren't prepared to put up with your issues.

20 Years of Full-Spectrum Eye Nourishment
With 20 mg of lutein in Vision Essentials, you can be assured the most important areas of your eye health are getting the support they need for…
- Macular health and visual performance
- Light adaptation under low-light conditions
- Protection from oxidative stress
- Protection from harmful wavelengths of light from laptops, TVs, and more
For over two decades Vision Essentials® has been serving the vision health needs of thousands of folks just like you. In fact, in that time it has sold over four million bottles. The reason is simple: taking Vision Essentials every day is one of the best things you can do for your eye health, with an array of powerful nutrients, including 20 mg of lutein.
Good vision health depends on a wide spectrum of supportive nutrients
Vision Essentials includes 20 mg of lutein, a unique Berry Vision Complex, and Setria® Glutathione. A reduced glutathione, known as the body's "master antioxidant", glutathione is produced by the cells in your body. Setria supports healthy glutathione levels and the optic nerve, lens, and aqueous fluid within the eye.
Lutein is a must-have for your eyes
Lutein is critically important for your eyes. This essential carotenoid has been researched in numerous clinical studies and shown to support the health of the macula, support vision under low-light conditions, and protect your eyes against oxidative stress caused by harmful blue light.
Improved contrast and glare sensitivity in high- and low-light conditions
In a one-year randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, participants received 20 mg of lutein—the amount in Vision Essentials—or a placebo once daily. The group receiving lutein experienced a substantial increase in macular pigment optical density (MPOD) within 12 months, as well as improvements in contrast and glare sensitivity, especially in high- and low-light conditions. Having a higher MPOD—often labeled as your "internal sunglasses"—is a key part of eye health as macular pigment plays an important role in protecting the macula from harmful blue light and maintaining crisp, healthy vision.1
Help maintain the health of your lens with zeaxanthin
Zeaxanthin is another key carotenoid that works along with lutein to support the health of your eyes. Zeaxanthin helps sustain the health of your lenses, photoreceptors, and retinal lining. Not unlike lutein, zeaxanthin concentrations in the macula area of the retina tend to decline as you age. But because your body can't generate zeaxanthin on its own, it's vital to supplement with optimal amounts. Vision Essentials gives you 2 mg of this key nutrient.
Super antioxidant firepower with 300 mg Berry Vision Complex
With its unique combination of black currant, bilberry, goji, and maqui berries, Vision Essentials delivers a potent supply of antioxidant firepower and eye health support.
Bilberry is rich in anthocyanosides, supporting the microcirculation and intricate photoreceptor cells and protecting your eyes from free radicals. Pre-clinical, in vitro studies suggest that bilberry extract protects retinal photoreceptor cells from harmful blue light.2,3
And black currant, whose water-soluble antioxidant properties lie in the anthocyanins, is important for eye health because the anthocyanins are soluble, and can be incorporated into, the aqueous humor—the watery substance that fills the space between the lens and the cornea.
The maqui berry is a superfruit indigenous to the rainforests of Chile and is known for its brilliant purple color, attributed to its anthocyanin content. And the nutrient-dense goji berry brings naturally occurring carotenoids and a whole a host of concentrated antioxidant benefits.
Plus, pre-formed glutathione, taurine, N-acetyl L-cysteine, vitamin C, and 7 additional vision supportive nutrients
Combined, these nutrients—many of which are skimped on or left out of other formulas—reduce oxidative stress caused by blue light. Zinc, helps support the retina, where it's more concentrated than in any other organ, and is especially effective when combined with vitamin C. I also added copper to balance the zinc, and for added antioxidant protection.

Jets Bounce Back. This Month It's Home Games that Matter.
Nation World HQ
December 14 2011 06:39AM
Hate to say I told you so... what am I talking about? I'm thrilled to say I told you so. That 7-1 loss to Detroit in a wonderful pond-hockey display by the Wings at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday night did turn out to be virtually meaningless, perhaps just a wake-up call for a team that had been playing solid hockey, but was due for a letdown.
Tuesday night's 2-1 thriller over the hottest team in the NHL, the Minnesota Wild, back home inside the friendly confines of tiny MTS Centre, was the important game for the Winnipeg Jets this week and set the tone for a six-game homestand that could put the Jets in the thick of the playoff race with 15-of-19 on the road stariung in January.
Well, OK, this homestand will have to put the Jets in the thick of the playoff hunt because as we have learned, the Winnipegs are a great team at home, but not so wonderful on the road.
On Tuesday night, Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec made 34 saves and Bryan Little scored the winning goal on a power-play at the 15-minute mark of the third period as the Jets beat the No. 1 team in the NHL in front of another wild and raucous at the little downtown arena. With the win, the Jets improved to 14-12-4 on the season and moved into 10th place in the East. The Jets are now one point behind seventh-place Buffalo and eighth-place New Jersey.
The Jets also stopped Minnesota's seven-game winning streak. It was, as they say, a huge game for the young Jets who have won five in a row at home and five of their last six. Good thing they aren't getting a lot of rest. This team has figured out how to play in front of the crazy home crowd where they will get Washington on Thursday, Anaheim on Saturday, the Islanders next Tuesday, Montreal next Thursday and Pittsburgh next Friday before taking a holiday break then heading to Denver for a game with the Colorado Avalanche on Dec. 27.
The Jets are now 10-4-0 at home and just 4-8-4 on the road. It's obvious why this six-game homestand and this stretch of 13-of-15 at home is so important.
"I think this win proves to teams that we're up there," said Little after Tuesday's victory. "It proves we can play with the best teams in the league. Especially in our arena. We wanted to make this a tough arena to come play in and to beat those teams in our building is huge for our confidence."
Tuesday night, the Jets fell behind 1-0 after giving up a second-period power play goal to Guillaume Latendresse and then battled back with a goal from Zach Bogosian -- who bounced back from a minus-four in Detroit to be plus-two against the Wild -- and held on long enough to get the winner from Little.
Pavelec was terrific once again, making a load of outstanding saves, half-a-dozen of them worthy of play of the game.
"We battled hard tonight," said Pavelec, who gave all the credit to his teammates. "It wasn't an easy win. Minnesota is a really tough team to play against, but we battled tonight. We battled all game long."
Indeed they did. Bogosian, Little, Evander Kane (he played more than 22 minutes), Tanner Glass, Ron Hainsey (played nine seconds more than Kane), Blake Wheeler (played 43 seconds more than Kane), Mark Stuart with five big hits and Jim Slater all played very well and were full marks for a victory that could set the stage for an important run to the holidays.
"What I like best is the emotional level at which we're playing," said Jets head coach Claude Noel in his post-game news conference. "There are no easy games. We're proving that to other people -- at least, at home -- and we're having some success, but eventually we have to get back to the road games and we have to find a way to get our record back to .500 on the road. That will give us a chance to make the playoffs."
Noel is a bright man. He's laid down this challenge to his team: "Make the playoffs or consider your season a failure." He knows, however, that the only way the Jets make the playoffs is to get to .500 on the road and that might be the real challenge.
As for now, however, the only thing that should be on anyone's mind is to keep the winning streak going at home.
Good post! I have to say that all the fuss about the road record, as bad as it currently is, might be partly explained by the brutal opening road schedule. A blowout loss in Detroit after getting in at 4am, while not excusable, sure is at the least somewhat explainable. Let's wait and see what happens when they get to play on the road and get a good night's rest. Keep up the writing.
Hey Mr. Taylor, Love the "Winnipegs" team reference...reminds me of hearing about old times when Blue Bombers were called that name. Nice to see my birth-town Jets surging as my current favorites the mightly Flames of Calgary surge as well. (Sorry slight allegiance change since I moved here when Jets originally left). I heartily agree the Jets need to make this home-standing December count if playoffs are an idea.
ALSO, new subject for the blog team to consider....will MTS Place ever get expanded to increase seat revenues? Perhaps, since Winnipeg is cold, the Jets can seriously play a whole season or half season outdoors while expansion happens....perhaps a temporary 20,000 seat stadium on the old Polo Park site of Winnipeg Arena or Canad-Inns stadium?

@Snakes: those wood textures in the back are eventually gonna be replaced with a sea of blood and a horizon. I was thinking in that context, with nothing but marb and green brick, the tech pillar looses it "techy" quality and would standout nicely in the foreground against the backdrop of the sea since there so tall.
You bring up a valid point though. I'll re-evaluate everything once I near its finished state.

George Zimmerman's defense team didn't invoke Florida's "stand your ground" defense in winning his acquittal of murder in last year's shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
But the specter of the 2005 law loomed, inescapably, over the proceedings.
It was inevitable that the racially-fraught trial would again catapult Florida's law – which extends protections for the use of deadly force far beyond the traditional bounds of one's home – as well as those in 21-plus states with similar self-defense measures, into the nation's consciousness.
"This case says so much – shows us so much – about race, fear, crime, media, gun laws, prosecutorial discretion, minimum mandatory sentences, public trials," says H. Scott Fingerhut of the Florida International University College of Law.
What it doesn't do, however, is tell us much about the path forward for stand your ground laws.
"The case wasn't decided on a stand your ground basis," says University of Florida law professor Joseph Little. "So there's not much to say about what the Zimmerman case tells us about the stand your ground law."
The Big But
There's one big but, however, and that's in Florida, where Trayvon Martin's family is said to be considering a civil case against Zimmerman. (The U.S. Department of Justice is also undertaking a review of evidence in the case.)
In a civil proceeding against Zimmerman, the Martin family would have the opportunity to challenge a central, and controversial, section of Florida's "stand your ground" statute.
The section is titled, "Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force."
Indeed, the section provides the opportunity for just that: A path to pre-trial immunity for potential defendants who can prove in a hearing before a judge that a "preponderance of evidence" shows that their deadly or potentially deadly actions fell into the category of reasonable self-defense.
Zimmerman did not ask for an immunity hearing before his criminal trial, but that does not preclude him from requesting one if he faces a civil trial, says associate law professor Tamara Rice Lave of the University of Miami's School of Law.
At a pre-trial immunity hearing, Lave says, Zimmerman would have to show a preponderance of evidence, quantified as a 51 percent burden, that he acted lawfully under the state's stand your ground statue.
Zimmerman likely didn't ask for an immunity hearing before his criminal case, she said, because he would have the burden to prove he acted lawfully.
"When he went to trial, it was the prosecutor's burden to prove he didn't act in lawful self-defense," she said, adding: The prosecutor also had to prove to a jury Zimmerman's guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt," a far higher bar to clear than proving a "preponderance of evidence."
The Constitutional Challenge
Joseph Little, the University of Florida law professor, argues that the immunity section of Florida law is ripe for a constitutional challenge – and that Trayvon Martin's family could mount that challenge in a civil proceeding.
The legislature, he argues, in establishing the immunity hearing, has taken from the courts power invested in them since the state's 1968 constitution was written.
"The legislature did not prove an overpowering public necessity for what it did, which the constitution requires," he said. "I think there's an argument to be made in a civil setting that this immunity should be rendered unconstitutional."
While Florida continues to grapple with its law, the race to adopt stand your ground-type legislation advanced by the National Rifle Association and the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, appears to have slowed since Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin.
ALEC, facing a backlash last year from its corporate supporters, abandoned its nationwide efforts to push stand your ground laws and other non-economic policy legislation.
When asked Monday about ALEC's current position, Bill Meierling, senior director of public affairs at the organization, emailed us this response:
"The American Legislative Exchange Council does not support Stand Your Ground policies. The Council focuses solely on pro-growth, economic issues to increase opportunity for all Americans."
For now, all eyes remain on Florida, where stand your ground is still standing, but where we may get a glimpse of how such laws there, and nationally, hold up under intensifying scrutiny – legal and otherwise.

I have 7 articles publishing this week due to my association with POMA. Not to mention the numerous business opportunities from people that I have met. Just last week a company that I wanted to do some business with automatically jumped on board when he heard that I was a POMA member. I can't even begin to tell you how much business I did just this week due to my POMA connections.

Two months after going full time as a writer I joined POMA and attended their convention in Ogden. POMA has helped me make a lot of good contacts, writing and Pro-staff deals. I don't see how you can go wrong by joining. If you want to write part-time, it will make you a better writer. If you want to go full-time, you'll make more contacts. You still have to hustle hard but POMA has been a big blessing for me.

As a full-time freelance magazine writer and book author I spend a lot of time alone - in the office, traveling and in remote locations. POMA through its Briefs, Business Conference and webinars offers me a very valuable means of staying in communications/networking with others in my field. The freelance lifestyle can cause a writer to become set-in-his-ways and stale without regular contact with other professionals. I depend on POMA for much of that contact and it pays off with fresh ideas, new projects, a growing list of professional friends/contacts, writing award opportunities and continuing education. I can't image a full-time outdoor communicator not being an active member of POMA. In a job that can cut one off from much of the world, POMA brings the outdoor world to you.

POMA is a money maker! A casual conversation at the POMA business conference turned into a friendship, and almost immediately, into a lucrative business deal for Gun Talk Media. In business, it's often about the contacts, and POMA provides quality contacts.

POMA generates income for me on an almost weekly basis, in a strange way. Most members use Money Line as a job and freelance opportunity listing. I use it to generate editorial content ideas, especially for business/trade content buyers. Job listings offer tons of information about challenges faced by companies in our industry. I use those challenges as a basis to develop story ideas to pitch to editors/buyers. Thanks POMA for all you do!

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate our membership in POMA. I thought you might like to hear a great example of why it is important for companies like mine to support you. John Phillips has a new book, with a second volume already being worked on, that teaches people How to Hunt Big Bucks on Small Properties. He has realized from our conversations over the years at conferences that MyTopo's private land data, which provides property owner names and boundaries on smart phones and printed maps, goes hand-in-hand with this type of hunting. Consequently, John is recommending his readers visit www.mytopo.com to get their digital and print private land maps. And, in turn, I am recommending to all MyTopo customers to buy and read his book. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to come to the conferences and meet writers and get to know them. The ones who are actively writing are great about learning how MyTopo can help them with any mapping needs they have personally or professionally and incorporating us into stories whenever possible. As I was writing this, John called to set up a taped interview tomorrow for an article he is doing about hunting on public lands! Isn't that awesome? Thank you for doing all the behind-the-scenes work to bring writers and companies like mine together.

I am new to the industry, and I know there is a lot of water left to tread before I find my own sweet little island. However, because of POMA and the commitment and conviction of its founding members, I now have more confidence and better tools than I could have imagined receiving from any other source. For any new or struggling outdoor writer, photographer or outdoor content provider, "The best advice I can give is to join up with POMA. There is nothing else I can tell you that will help you more than that". Read Andrew's full story.

For years I avoided joining the professional writer's organizations in favor of an independent approach to networking and relationship building. That worked well for a while, but then I hit a plateau. During that time I joined several writer's and media organizations. While every one has contributed to my professional career, POMA has really distinguished itself from the others. The topics and outreach is always current and regular, Money Line is streamlined and timely, and the additional support topics are helpful and appropriate. POMA is a group that must be run by writers, for their proactive approach in delivering quick and relevant information helps me to fast-track my processes and accomplish more work. Thanks for being a terrific business partner, POMA.

Canyons, streams,
prairie and forest combine to delight visitors at Matthiessen State
Park. Located in central LaSalle County, approximately 4 miles
south of Utica and 3 miles east of Oglesby, Matthiessen is a
paradise for those interested in geology as well as recreation.
Visitors can expect to see beautiful rock formations in addition
to unusual and abundant vegetation and wildlife. All of this, along
with park and picnic facilities, make Matthiessen State Park a popular
choice for a special outing.
State Park was named for Frederick William Matthiessen, a prominent
industrialist and philanthropist from LaSalle. He originally purchased
the land near the end of the 19th century and operated it as a
privately owned park for many years. Mr. Matthiessen employed about
50 people to construct trails, bridges, stairways and check dams.
The area was originally referred to as Deer Park, in
reference to the large deer population. The original 176-acre park
consisted primarily of a long, narrow canyon with a small stream
flowing through it. At that time these formations were called dells,
a name that has stayed with the park. After Matthiessens death,
the park was donated to the state of Illinois, which opened it as
a public park. In 1943, the state renamed the park in honor of Matthiessen.
Since then, the park has grown to 1,938 acres and includes much
of the significant natural areas along the main dell, some former
prairie land, and some forest land south of the original park.
The many unusual
and beautiful rock formations make a trip to Matthiessen State Park
an educational as well as a fun experience. Exposed sandstone can
be seen throughout. The main canyon, consisting of the Upper and
Lower Dells, provides an unusual and interesting walking tour. The
Upper Dell begins at Deer Park Lake and continues to Cascade Falls,
where the canyon drops 45 feet and the Lower Dell begins. The canyon,
formed by water erosion, is approximately 1 mile long, from Deer
Park Lake to the Vermilion River. Visitors may observe ground water
seeping out along the sandstone of the canyon walls. Minerals carried
in solution in the ground water contribute to the beautiful coloring of
the rocks.
Several mineral springs, with the park were popular salt lick spots for the large
deer population.
Visitors will
delight at the abundance of plant and animal life. The park is alive
with common and uncommon species of flora and fauna. The canyon
provides a perfect habitat for many mosses and liverworts which
thrive on the damp, shady walls. Ferns also grow in the rich soil.
Other vegetation in the canyon interior is limited to the simpler
or lower orders of plant life, because most plants cannot root
on the steep rock walls. Cliff swallows and rock doves may be seen
perching on the canyon walls, while frogs, toads and salamanders
seek out the cool, moist canyon floors.
Along the dry,
sandy bluff tops near the canyon edge, black oak, red cedar and
white oak grow in abundance. White pines and white cedar also
are found here, carried south by the glaciers of long ago. Shrubs common
to this area include serviceberry and northern honeysuckle. Scarlet
tanagers and cedar waxwings can be seen feeding on the berries of
these shrubs. Holes made by yellow-bellied sapsuckers can be found
on the cedar trees, as these birds feed on the sap and small insects
located there. In the spring, beautiful magenta-colored blossoms
erupt on the shooting star plants and the bright orange of the columbine
delights the eye. By summertime, a rainbow of color emerges with
the yellow partridge pea, violet spiked lead plants and purple
square-stemmed mint plants.
Farther back
from the bluffs, bur oak and hickory grow. At the foot of these
trees grow American witch hazel, black huckleberry and bracken fern.
Nuthatches and chickadees can be seen feeding on the nuts, seeds
and insects here.
pastel-colored hepatica and delicate pink spring beauties blossom
in the shaded forest soil during the spring. In the area where the
sun breaks through the trees, black-eyed Susans and pink, spiked
tick-trefoils bloom through the summer. Raccoons and flying squirrels
spend hours among the trees searching for and gathering berries
and nuts.
Along the forest
edges, bright blue indigo buntings fly among the wild crabapple
and plum trees. Cottontail rabbits scamper through the bluestem
and Indian grasses. Red-tailed hawks soar overhead searching for
field mice. Three-leaved poison ivy plants are found in all areas
of the park, growing both as a vine and as an individual woody plant.
Its greenish-white berries are a prime source of food for many
The Dells Area
of the park provides a perfect setting for picnics and an afternoon
of relaxation. This area has picnic tables, water fountains and
playground equipment, as well as a large parking lot and toilet
facilities. An added attraction is the restored fort representative
of the fortifications the French built in the Midwest during the
1600s and early 1700s. The main trail to the Cascade Falls area
originates in this area.
To the south,
at the Vermilion River Area, additional picnic shelters, picnic
tables, grills and drinking fountains provide convenient picnic
Alcohol is prohibited
Jan. 1 through May 31 in the picnic area.
The park has 5 miles of well-marked, well-surfaced hiking trails for a relaxing walk or a vigorous hike. Large trail maps are located at all major trail intersections so visitors can choose a variety of routes. The upper area and bluff tops are easy hiking paths for the novice, but the trails into the interiors of the two dells may be difficult to negotiate, particularly during spring and early summer. Hikers must stay on marked trails, as steep cliffs and deep canyons can be dangerous. Hikers will marvel at the plant and animal life along the trails, and have an unparalleled view of geological wonders as they travel through the park. Alcohol is prohibited on all trails.
Cross Country Skiing
There are 6 miles of cross-country ski trails with ski rental available weekends from December through March. Alcohol is prohibited on all trails. Call (815) 667-4726 to check conditions and status before coming to use these facilities.
Horseback Riding/Equestrian Camping/Mountain Bikes
The park provides 9 miles of multi-use mountain bike/ horseback riding trails for those who own their own horse or mountain bike. The trails are color coded and marked with the yield order triangle which symbolizes that all users yield to horse riders. (see the map here) Alcohol is prohibited on all trails.
An equestrian campground for horseback riders and their horses is located west of Route 178 between Route 71 and the Dells Area entrance. Alcohol is prohibited in all campgrounds.
The horseback riders camping and multi-use trails are open from April 15th (weather permitting-determined by park staff) to October 31st. Call 815-667-4726 to check conditions and status before coming to use these facilities.
Mountain bikes and horses are prohibited on all other trails throughout Matthiessen State Park and Starved Rock State Park.
A field archery
range with a sight-in area and four separate targets is located
in the northwestern portion of Matthiessen State Park near Deer
Park Country Club just off Illinois Route 71.
A radio-controlled
model airplane field is located at the Vermilion River Area.
Hobbyists and visitors will enjoy flying or watching as these crafts
are maneuvered around this open field area.
Fact Sheets:
Off of Interstate 80 take Exit 81, Rt. 178 to Utica, IL then five

Safety Advocates Question Why It's Taking So Long for Backup Camera Regulations
Tiffany Kaiser
December 27, 2012 3:29 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Judy Neiman with a picture of her daughter Sydnee
(Source: Yahoo News)
They suspect cost is the driving force
Even though the
regulations for backup cameras
in new vehicles is near, grieving parents and safety advocates want to know what the heck has taken so long.
The rearview camera mandate would make it so every vehicle would have a backup camera for seeing behind the vehicle when in reverse. The idea was triggered by the 300 deaths and 16,000 injuries annually caused by a driver's inability to see behind their vehicle when backing up. Many of the injuries and death affect young children and senior citizens.
Judy Neiman, 53, of West Richland, Washington, is just one of the many people who have experienced a tragic death due to
driving a car in reverse
without properly checking her surroundings before backing up. She accidentally backed over and killed her 9-year-old daughter, Sydnee.
"They have to do something, because I've read about it happening to other people. I read about it and I said, 'I would die if it happens to me,'" said Neiman. "Then it did happen to me."
The White House is doing something about it, but there have been several delays in regulating the use of these cameras. The rearview camera regulations date back to 2007, when Congress initially approved legislation to set these standards by February 28, 2011. This
date was delayed
to February of this year, and again to December 31.
While the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are both behind the making of these new standards, others, namely automakers, have worried that the cost of installing these cameras on each vehicle would drive the price up too high. Parents and safety advocates blame worries regarding cost for the delays in safety.
NHTSA estimated that adding backup cameras to every car would add $58 to $88 to the price of vehicles that have an existing dashboard display screens. It would cost $159 to $203 for those without them.
DOT Secretary Ray LaHood said he is meeting with White House officials to
finalize the regulations
by December 31.
In the meantime, Neiman grieves over her lost child who had survived four open-heart surgeries like a champ, but was eventually killed due to her mistake. She couldn't see her 4-foot tall daughter behind her van when pulling out of the garage.

A-Bomb is, without question, one of the most exciting developments in the science of muscle growth and performance enhancement in the last decade. It is the first supplement designed to trigger multiple anabolic actions while simultaneously significantly inhibiting catabolism (muscle wasting) during and after intense exercise and weight training. Muscle growth and recovery can only occur if the body remains in an anabolic/anti-catabolic state. A-Bomb has been formulated with precise performance enhancing compounds, co-factors, amino acids, branched chain keto acids and branched chain amino acids to fuel your body during training and ensure that you remain in this favorable state for maximum muscle growth, recovery and performance.*
Insulinotropic and Intracellular Osmolarity Induced Muscle Hypertrophy! *
One of A-BOMB's key anabolic effects is the unique ability to augment a controlled, steady release of insulin. This creates the ideal insulinotropic anabolic environment by increasing protein synthesis to stimulate muscle growth. A-BOMB also induces muscle hypertrophy through a very powerful anabolic mechanism called Intracellular Osmolarity. Keeping muscle cells hydrated is critical for maximum muscle growth. On the contrary, "Muscle Cell Shrinkage" and the loss of muscle cell fluid can occur as a result of intense exercise through the build up of toxic ammonia. A-BOMB scavenges ammonia to prevent "Muscle Cell Shrinkage" and super-hydrates muscle cells with Intracellular Osmolarity effects to prevent muscle cell shrinkage and trigger anabolic muscle building actions.
Continuous Infusion Fuels Muscle Growth Long After Your Workout with a Patented 12 Hour Metered Dose Technology!*
In order to make huge, steady gains in muscle mass, you need to remain in an anabolic/anti-catabolic state. MHP's R&D team has developed a pharmaceutical 12-Hour Metered Dose Technology that mimics the IV Continuous Infusion Technique used by biotech companies to elicit the best anabolic response and stimulate muscle growth. The 12-Hour Metered Dose Technology in A-BOMB forces you into a highly anabolic muscle building state all day, every day!

The Early Diagnosis Campaign is PHA's unprecedented initiative to reduce the time between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis of PH. Delayed or missed diagnosis is the biggest barrier to delivering available care to patients.
PHA has mobilized to change aspects of medical practice so that more patients may gain access to the twelve treatments and the many specialty care centers that have become available in the U.S. PHA sees this as essential because even with these assets, the time between symptom onset and diagnosis remains unchanged over the past 20 years. While we continue the search for a cure, diagnosing earlier is the next major priority in saving and improving patients' lives.
It takes too long for pulmonary hypertension to be diagnosed. The median survival rate without treatment is approximately 2.8 years, making the need to obtain a rapid and accurate diagnosis urgent. Unfortunately, the mean duration from symptom onset to a confirmed diagnosis by right heart catheterization is also 2.8 years. We are reaching patients too late in the process. Almost three-fourths of patients have advanced PH by the time they are diagnosed. The goal is to discover the disease sooner in the early stages. This will allow a treatment regimen to begin that can slow the progression of PH and secure a better life for the patient. Learn more about why early diagnosis of PH is important
Among healthcare providers, the zebra is a metaphor for an unexpected diagnosis.
When first learning how to reach a diagnosis, young medical professionals are taught, "When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras." Through this example, instructors encourage their medical students to think first of the more common, and therefore more likely, diagnosis.
This logic makes sense most of the time, but also partly explains why PH is often misdiagnosed as asthma, COPD and other more common diseases.
The Early Diagnosis Campaign aims to make three changes:
Bringing about this change will require a multi-year campaign. We will focus on reaching primary care providers in the first year, add in specialty care providers in the second year and also begin targeting potential PH patients in the third year.
To achieve our goal, we are mobilizing healthcare professionals in our PH community to:
We are also organizing PH patients, families and caregivers to:
Everyone can learn about ways to get involved in the campaign and take action here on our campaign website. Take action now
If you are a healthcare professional, you may join one of the Early Diagnosis committees on publishing in journals, establishing partnerships with key organizations and educating about PH and specialty care. You may also work with PHA to have your institution or your professional societies take part in the campaign in a variety of ways. Healthcare professionals interested in getting involved should contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are a patient, family member or caregiver, you may share your experiences with diagnosis on our campaign website. Take action now

Main Content
There's nothing you love more than venturing out to the local outdoor ice rink and skating for hours on end. You love the feel of the winter chill against your rosy cheeks while you elegantly glide across the frozen pond. The only problem you come across is you don't have any Philadelphia garb to keep you warm when you're making your way around the ice. The next time you lace up those skates, make sure you're sporting this Kimber knit beanie. This stylish beanie has an embroidered Flyers logo on the front with hanging knit tassels that double as a scarf and features embroidered team logos on each side with pockets at the ends. No matter how cold it gets on the rink, you'll be bundled up in Flyers spirit every time you don this lovely beanie!
