When Insults Had Class
These glorious insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words.
A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease."
· "That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies or your mistress."
"He had delusions of adequacy." - Walter Kerr

· "Thank you for sending me a copy of your book; I'll waste no time reading it." - Moses Hadas
· "I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain
· "He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.." - Oscar Wilde
· "I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend, if you have one." - George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill
· "Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second ... if there is one." - Winston Churchill, in response.
· "I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like having you here." - Stephen Bishop

Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I think Congressmen should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could identify their corporate sponsors."
"Last time I checked, guns don't kill people, people kill people. I mean when was the last time you saw a gun being locked up or put on trial for the murder of a person!??"

text: Nov 3 7:30PM Detroit at Boston Alright lets put that last game behind us. Around this time last year is when the Pistons went into Boston on a Friday night and escaped with a win on a last sec shot by Rip. That win set off a very nice winning streak for the team so lets hope for more early season magic. Hopefully not as close though. It is Boston where the Pistons always seem to have trouble but this years Celts are in rebuilding mode so we will see.

Who has one and who doesn't?
Who has one and who doesn't?
I do not. Aesthetics are far too vital for me, when it comes to my guns.
I might have bought a Glock in a moment of weakness, way back when. After all, an engineer is supposed to value function over form.
But, then I thought about it overnight, and I realized that as a single person, I don't make love to my kitchen appliances either. :mrgreen:
I don't, and won't own one. have shot several but they just are not comfortable to shoot. but thats me.
I have six, er had six until they all disappeared in that terrible boating accident.
Had a 23 .....could never grow to like it ...sold it and never looked back....JJ
Sorry....blocky, plastic, no hammer, no manual safety, ugly.....not for me...........
I do have one in my gagle of handguns. It is not my favorite but it is a very reliable handgun. I have the 26.
I'm working in Atlanta, GA this week on business (I'm in law enforcement) and we're right here by Smyrna, GA where they're assembled. Although I have shot several in my line of work, I do not own one personally. I've gone the SIG route just simply because I like the way they feel better than the Glocks. As a matter of fact yesterday my partner and I took a drive over to Smyrna Police Distributors and he actually ended up buying a Glock model 35 Gen 4 in .40 S&W. A nice gun, just not for me.
I don't own one. I don't see why pay more for a Glock when I have cheaper pistols (Sigma 9mm and Sig P250c 40sw) that did well.
I already have three .45 ACP Government Models and one Star PD, not to mention my AMT .45 Backup.
What would I use a Glock for?
I was a 1911 guy for years; then I met my first XD. Completely void of Glocks.
I try.
NOPE! Never have, never will!! Just not my cup of tea! Can't get comfortable with one!!
Q: For what would I use a Glock?
I taught Jean to shoot with one of my full-size .45s, with the full expectation that the skills she learned would transfer easily and with little added coaching to the use of any other pistol she could choose.
My belief proved true, as I knew it would, and I observed as Jean quickly acclimatized to her S&W Airweight Bodyguard revolver and her Kel-Tec P3AT.
I've owned 5 over the years... Not really a fan now. I have none, and no plans to buy another.
I generally prefer rubber grips - which necessitates a metal gun (since I hate those slip on grips). I also prefer DA/SA guns
I have the utmost respect for Glock, that being said, I guess it's what train you jump on. I was first introduced to Beretta as my stepfather owned a 25 auto jetfire and I was immediately impressed with it's quality, bought a 92G after
i got out of the army, which is and has been flawless, then purchased 2 Storms which are fantastic pistols w/ a really good DA/SA. The way i figure it is why jump off the Beretta train? I too prefer a good DA/SA as well. I must say the only time I've shot a Glock was back aways and it was a G19 and I shot it well and was impressed, but comparing it to the SA on my Beretta 92 the trigger felt like a staple gun, however, I shot it very well and it performed flawlessly. Just a matter of personnel preference, both are great pistols and I would own either.
First time poster - Traded a Beretta 92FS for a Glock 19 for a RIA 1911. Happy with my decision.
No again and never will.I didn't like them when they came out,since then the company and it's product haven't given me reason to change my mind.
Yup Have many, shoot them all, and I like 'em. Aesthetics? Holly, they look fine from the back.

S&P 500 Hits 42nd Record Close, Most Since 1998
It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid. The market wants to go up heading into the New Year, and today Darden Restaurants (DRI), PulteGroup (PHM), U.S. Steel (X), Tesoro (TSO) and Masco (MAS) helped lead the way.
The S&P 500 rose 0.5% to 1,827.99 today--its 42nd record high this year, the most since 1998--while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.5% to 16,294.61--the most since 1995.
Yes, the major benchmarks have hit a massive amount of new highs this year and that feels kind of scary--but it's not necessarily bad news. The Dow gained 33% in 1995, then another 26% in 1996. The S&P 500 gained 27% in 1998, before advancing another 20% in 1999 (let's not to talk about what happened next).
Stocks got a boost from strong consumers spending and confidence data, both of which auger a stronger economy in 2014. Goldman Sachs' David Kostin and team offer two ways to play the pickup in economic growth next year:
Recent macro and micro data point to a strengthening US outlook. The Fed's decision to start tapering indicates macro fundamentals are improving. Micro data such as [Oracle (ORCL), FedEx (FDX), and Nike's (NKE)] quarterly results and 2014 guidance corroborate that view. We recommend two strategies to benefit from accelerating growth. (1) Firms investing in capex: Stocks that have underinvested in recent years but have high ROIC that we believe will boost spending in 2014 should outperform. (2) Stocks with high operating leverage: Economic growth will boost sales, and firms with high operating leverage will benefit most in terms of EPS uplift and that should drive returns.
Still, Kostin only expects the S&P 500 to close near 1,900, just 3.9% higher than today's close.
Merrill Lynch's Stephen Suttmeier doesn't expect big gains either. He writes:
The S&P 500 is set up for two consecutive up years in 2012 and 2013. When the S&P 500 has two up years in a row, the next year is up 58% of the time and has an average return of 3.3%. This compares with an average annual return of 7.2% and positive annual returns 66% of the time going back to 1928. Based on history, the S&P 500 could have difficulty matching the 2012 and 2013 (YTD) gains of 13.4% and 27.5%, respectively, in 2014.
Among the winners, Darden Restaurants gained 6.4% to $54.35 today after an activist investors announced that it had taken a position in the stock and favored a full-on breakup. PulteGroup rallied 5.9% to $19.71 on reports a mortgage-fee increase could be delayed. U.S. Steel rose 3.9% to $29.05, while Tesoro advanced 3.8% to $58.31 and Masco finished up 3.7% at $22.49.


text: It seems to me that you could chop off the chamber of a cheap vz58 barrel and ream it to 7.62x25 tokarev and still have plenty of diameter at the chamber. However i heard somewhere your not supposed to use reamers on a chrome lined barrel. It would be a great starting point for a x25 ak. you would have to plug the gas port if you were going blowback though.

Re: LEDs afloat
Note: All LEDS are DC not AC. If they are AC they must be adapted for input and of course converted to DC.
Re: LEDs afloat
"Drivers are tiny voltage spike protectors."
Nope. They could have a spike protector in them, although I've never heard of that. An LED "driver" module converts raw power from whatever source into tightly regulated DC power for the LED. It regulates both amperage and voltage to prevent damage to the LED from either. A conventional 3-pin regulator set up in amperage regulation mode usually will suffice.
Spike protection can be done easily by inexpensive components like zener diodes added to the power lines on a system basis, not necessarily per LED.
"LEDs are no where near as bad as those 40 dollar 1157 substitute jobs "
Many of the 1157 substitutes include a regulator and literally dozens of LED chips carefully mounted in a small assembly intended to provide even 360-degree illumination. Some include reverse polarity protection as well. They're very different from one or two raw LEDs and while they're expensive, you'd be hard pressed to make the same thing for a lower cost.
They're not just shiny lights.
High brightness "white" LEDs, from prime vendors and one production batch, typically can range 16-fold in brightness, and you pay dearly if you want them all from the same batch (i.e. 10cp, 20cp, 40cp) instead of the random run of varying brightness and colors. Typically, vendors sort and sell at least nine different batches, all very visibly different, from any production run. Other colors may be more uniform, but on the brightest LEDs, they still come in very different brightnesses.
Sometimes cheap stuff from China is all you need, like truck and bus marker lights where a $300 light would be stolen off the back of the bus, while a $25 light that burns out half the LEDs is still "legal enough" and can be replaced at the annual depot maintenance anyhow.
Cabin lights? Cheap enough and easy enough to replace every year. masthead lights aloft? Yeah, you might want the better ones that will last 100,000 hours and still pass muster. With proper regulation and drivers and voltage spike protection, and that won't create an RFI problem, either.
Re: LEDs afloat
I buy mine with good results from this place http://www.dx.com/s/led+light Direct from China and it has the higher end LEDs for the price of lower end. It takes weeks to get here in California though. They did get to me all I ordered.
Drivers are tiny voltage spike protectors. and there is dimmers too. I'm no expert on this subject and you do need to know what you want. I shopped by amount of amps and how dear they were.
Electric is my final frontier but I have vested plenty of headaches in learning the ropes. I bought LEDs all the way back. More light for less juice was just too seductive to pass up for any boater.
I was there wasting money from the beginning. What I've learned is of no use though because things are changing so fast. When I hear an opinion I have to gather if they are current or obsolete in their knowledge.
LEDs are no where near as bad as those 40 dollar 1157 substitute jobs West Marine sold me. Most cabin bulbs are in series on a circuit and if you want LEDs they need to have very small fuses for each light. It's just stupid me's opinion but if they look too bright, they likely are, and that means a shorter life. I speak in retrofit because I never bought the new boat fitted out.
Re: LEDs afloat
"LEDs used to fade out from over heating."
That hasn't changed, they still can and do. Typical numbers are sometimes listed 100,000 hours of life, brightness down to 50% at 50,000 hours. Others just say 20,000 hours. They all fade as they age and improper heat sinking or excess power supply cause them all to age prematurely.
As with tungsten bulbs, the prime LEDs outperform the no-name generics in pretty much every way. And cost more.

Re: LEDs afloat
I think you missed the context of what I spoke. I was thinking in times of emergency when lightning fries your "legal" nav lights.
Some light is needed... Not so much to save you from the coasties but to luminate your boat so they can see you. There are better LEDs all the time and many sailors are acting on old info.
LEDs used to fade out from over heating. That is why they are accompanied by heat sinks and or fans that keep the temp down. Drivers for voltage spikes and so on.

What is true is that not every led can be used, but that is equally true of incandescent bulbs. Some incandescent a need Uscg requirements, some don't.

This does not make LED lights illegal just that your home made navigation lights may not meet the CFR definitions and thus may not be considered legal navigation lights..
There are many factory made LED navigation lights that pass USCG/ABYC A-16 standards and are fully legal. US boat builders are required by Federal law to only install navigation lights that pass ABYC A-16 or USCG specified testing. You as a boat owner only have to comply with the law not necessarily install "certified" lights but then again how will you know if you are in compliance if you DIY a nav light..?? Usually best just to buy one that has already passed the testing.
Inside the boat there is no requirement to meet any standards thus any LED is fine provided it is safe....
Here is an example of a USCG and RINA approved LED navigation light by Hella:
And here's an Aqua Signal LED nav light:

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Call for submissions for stitches: a critical dialogue with queer/dyke culture
Cis white lesbians do not own dyke or queer women's culture. This is about rejecting transphobic pseudo-radical feminist discourse. Let's imagine what a truly radical inclusive queer dyke culture could look like. Submissions can take any form. Rants, raves, poems, personal anecdotes, essays, song lyrics, drawings, collages etc. are all welcome.
Topic ideas:
- What is queer? What is dyke? Are you one, both or neither?
- Transmisogyny, how have you experienced or witnessed it, how can we fight it and stand in solidarity against it?
- Racism in queer/dyke spaces, tokenization of women of color
- Bi/queerphobia in dyke communities, busted ideas about lesbian "purity" and "gold star" status, how can we change or resist them
- Words like womyn, grrrl and persyn; are they necessary any more?
- Butch/femme, how CAFAB masculinity is privileged, queer femme invisibility, passing
- Desires. How do you fuck? How do your sexuality and gender intersect?
- Violence and rape in queer/dyke communities, survivor experiences
- Queer/trans-positive anarcha-feminism; state or police violence
- How economic inequality, reproductive injustice, health care and employment discrimination, street harassment etc. affects queers, dykes, trans and cis women all together
- Women's space in general: useful or irrelevant? can they exist without erasing non-binary folx, intersex folx, women of color or non-lesbians? Punk culture and/or riot grrrl?
- Best practices for allies – listening, honoring anger, taking responsibility
- Open letters: what do you need from queers, dykes and/or women?
Why is this zine called Stitches?: To stitch is to mend. Think about stitching up a wound. It requires the painful puncture of a needle, reunion and gradual healing of torn flesh. This is an analogy for a process that queer/dyke communities need to go through. We need tough conversations. We need to abandon inaccurate ideas.
Who can submit: Open to all! I strive to center POC, trans women, non-binary people, intersex people, and people with disabilities.
Why am I doing this: I'm a genderqueer butch dyke grrrl who has been told that I can't be dyke because I'm fat, non-binary, queer-not-lesbian, engaged to a CAMAB person and kinky. I'm also sick of queers dumping on trans women. I don't think that it is always their job to fight transmisogyny. Cis women and CAFAB people need to call each other's bullshit and listen to trans women if we are ever going to get anywhere.
Format: 8 1/2 x 7" (recycled legal paper folded in half), b&w pages with color cover, staple bound. I'm aiming for 12-16 pages for the first issue.
Deadline: November 6, 2011.
Contact or send submissions to: email@example.com

Dear Vincent and Dickson,
I just heard your most recent TWIP. Please keep these podcasts going! I love listening to your podcasts and hearing your enthusiasm for my favorite biological topic, parasites. Remember that for every fan that takes the time to write to you there are probably 20 other fans who have not written. Plus many "new" fans are still catching up on the archived episodes (I began listening to TWIP at around episode 35 and it took months to catch up). These podcasts make an excellent teaching tool and I certainly plan to incorporate them in my Parasitology courses. And they expose the parasitologist to other areas of research that they may not otherwise have explored.
Let me suggest some topics and guest for upcoming shows.
Parasites and behavior: You've touched on this, but I think the topic deserves its own show. I recommend asking Janice Moore at Colorado State.
Parasites and Ecology: Again, you've touched on this topic (especially in episode 44), but it left me wanting more. I recommend asking Kevin Lafferty at USGS and Tommy Cheung at UNE (who has written to you previously)
Insect parasites: parasitoid wasps would be fun to learn more about. You could also focus more on fleas and lice as parasites (as opposed to vectors of parasites).
Plant parasites: not my area, but it's something I'd like to learn more about.
John Janovy teaches Field Parasitology at the Cedar Point Biological Research Station at U of Nebraska. I'm sure he would enjoy being a guest on your podcast.
And Shelly Michalski would enjoy talking about her work with FR3.

Hi there -- I came across TWiP, TWiM and TWiV recently after following
a link from this article:
I downloaded the episode and was aghast...the idea of volunteering for a norovirus study was incredible. The entire episode was fascinating.
I could not stop listening, and ran around afterward telling everyone about what I'd learned.
I've added all three of your podcasts to my regular listening, and will be catching up on old episodes as well. I'm not a scientist, but
an interested amateur, and the level of detail is great -- I'm learning a lot, and I'm challenged to learn more. The atmosphere is
great, the guests are wonderful, and for the record I *love* the digressions and the weather reports...they make it feel comfortable
and casual.
I'm sending this to TWiP because I just listened to the episode about malaria and was sad to hear that you're considering giving it up.
Please don't! The episode was fascinating, and I'm currently downloading more back episodes. I hope you continue to produce more.
Thank you very much for your work, and the generosity of you and all your guests.

A few months ago my wife asked me to look at and photograph a moribund grasshopper lying atop the leaves of a bush in our front yard.
It appeared to me that it was a grasshopper covered with eggs. My wife wanted no more such grasshoppers fearing they might eat some plant she treasured in our garden. I knocked it to the ground and stepped on it and the kicked it under the bush.
I did immediately send the photo to my friend who has a Ph.D. in entomology and she informed me that those were NOT eggs but a rare form of grasshopper mite. The mites had infested the grasshopper and killed it by sucking its vital juices. She wanted to know if I could find the dead grasshopper and stick it in a Zip-Lock bag and cool it with dry ice and give it to her. She had contacted the leading mite expert in the USA, I think some fellow in Michigan, who said he could only identify the species with certainty if he had one to examine.
By this time it was the next morning and while I did find the grasshopper's remains, alas, the mites were gone I suppose because the grasshopper was dead and no longer capable of giving them a delicious meal. I did provide her with the carcass with the hope that there might be a mite or two left on the carcass, but apparently there were none present.
Have you ever studied or become aware of mites of this type before? I did learn there are grasshopper mites but the common one[s] look nothing like these.
You just never know when you will find something rare.
I have added photos to my flickr account that you might enjoy, as you did last time I mentioned this site to you:
I have also attached a beaver I photographed a couple of days ago in one of the ponds near my house.

Hello, professors. This is neko from NZ again.
I just listened to twip episode 50. You mentioned you haven't got any email and you might stop your podcasts. Now that you've mentioned it, I can imagine your mailbox is overflowing with email from all over the world, but here is another one, from land of the long white cloud.
When I started listening to twip, I was fascinated but also couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. I used to love steak rare but I no longer feel like risking it. I can't help but cook them well done for my family now. I now wash my hands and cutting boards often with detergent after handling raw meat. On the other hand, I can eat pork without hesitation after defrosting. All thanks to your educational podcasts. If you are looking for some ideas for future episodes, I'm really interested in food safety, just every day risk factors and preventive measures, associating with parasites.
At the end of episode 50, you talked about toxoplasma. One of my favourite podcasts from Japan mentioned toxoplasma being able to manipulate some neurotransmitter in the brain. I think he was talking about this article.
That Japanese host said that toxoplasma might be responsible for some suicidal cases if this article is true. That, the people committed suicide might have been infected by toxoplasma. He was wondering weather it will bring down the suicidal rate if we systematically carry out a test to find the infected and treat them. What are your thoughts on that?
Lastly, I don't mind if it's monthly, or bi-monthly, but please do continue educating us.
Thanks always,

Dear TWIP,
I recently wrote to TWIV to express my admiration and ask a question about viruses of fungi. However, I have not previously written to TWIP, though I listen to it almost as often.
I am an undergraduate, and I work as a tutor for the biology survey class which all new biology majors must take. We're currently covering Biodiversity, and I cannot express to you how fabulous it has been to be able to enliven our discussions on Phylums Nematoda, Platyhelminthes, Apicomplexa and so on with the stories I've gleaned from TWiP. I take a particular (perhaps a little sadistic) pleasure in relating the story about how outhouses perched over lakes and rivers led to endemic fish tapeworm, or how toxoplasma gondii can cause radical behavior changes in rats (and maybe humans).
Every now and then, I even manage to turn on another person to TWiP, TWiM, and TWiV. Keep up the good work! You help to remind me of the inherently joyful and curious nature of science - which undergraduate coursework often obscures or obliterates entirely.

Hi guys.
Another tool for field work.
202 specimens of Astronotus ocellatus (Oscars), were collected from a freshwater lake in the state of Amapá, northern Brazil.
A total of 6,308,912 parasites belonging to 11 different taxa were found. Protozoa was the most abundant; flukes, worms were also prevalent and abundant.
No Amazon sushi for me.
I used to keep Oscars. Didn't realise the parasitic load would be that high.
In relation to parasitic species being 40% overall.
The link also examines the notion of the food web and the role of parasites.

text: obviously a really disappointing and wholly unnecessary loss. we all saw all kinds of good things up through around the 8 or 7 minute mark of the fourth. up until that point, good ball movement and active defense from the starters and the usual force and energy from the bench. what i saw after that that was driving me crazy: philly upped its defensive intensity, overplaying passing lines from the point to the wing, and picking up ball handlers. very tough on ball defense. at that point, it seemed to me the pistons just needed to go to the basket. stuckey and Ai getting a step on their guys, going hard to the basket to finish, get fouled, or else dish to someone else cutting through the lane. Except they didn't do that: they didn't drive to the basket, and when they did, nobody else moved. so they settled for jump shot, which created long rebounds and philly runouts and nobody got back on defense, and even if philly missed the first shot, the pistons weren't in a position to pull defensive rebounds.. in a way, this game really illustrated the symbiotic relationship between offense and defense and vice versa. active tough defense makes for easy baskets. settling for too many jumpshots makes for more misses fewer offensive boards and makes it harder to get back and set up a defense and to rebound. still, i think it would be a mistake to group this loss into the same category as either of the boston losses, or minny or portland. the pistons played really well for most of this game and looked in synch all around for most of it. i'm not saying that the collapse wasn't a problem, or that it wasn't frustrating in the moment. just that i don't see it as tremendously meaningful or portentous. on the contrary, once you put the disappointment and frustration of the moment aside, and look at the game on balance, there are, in my opinion, more positives than negatives. alright...whale away!

BlackBerry searching high and low in India, Indonesia
By Devidutta Tripathy and Andjarsari Paramaditha
NEW DELHI/JAKARTA Feb 4 (Reuters) - Research in Motion Ltd must chart a tough course in its two key emerging markets of India and Indonesia: quickly launch cheaper handsets to woo lower-end subscribers while restoring its tattered brand among the countries' status-conscious.
The company, which is rebranding itself BlackBerry after its best-known smartphone, has won millions of followers in these two Asian countries, mostly by selling cheaper handsets and offering service packages as low as $2 a month. So it's unlikely that the Z10 model introduced last week, which operators in India expect to sell for around $750, will appeal to the users it must reach if it is to build market share.
"It's clear that not only are India and Indonesia among the largest markets but in terms of future smartphone growth, they're amongst the ones with the most potential," said Melissa Chau, senior research manager at technology research group IDC in Singapore. "But the two devices that have been launched are not well aligned to the needs of these two markets."
While the company does not break down its sales by country, data from IDC shows that Indonesia was BlackBerry's biggest market outside the United States and Britain last year, while India was ninth.
ABI Research said that BlackBerry accounted for nearly half of Indonesia's smartphone shipments in 2012. Compare this with a global share of just 5.3 percent. In India, the world's second-largest mobile phone market, BlackBerry ranks third after Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Nokia.
In both countries, young people are drawn by low-cost handsets allowing them to communicate for free on the BlackBerry Messaging Service (BBM). Almost all carriers offer services for the device. Indonesia's XL Axiata Tbk PT, for example, saw a 45 percent jump in BlackBerry subscribers last financial year after offering packages for as little as 20 cents per day.
But this picture is changing rapidly.
The rise of messaging services such as WhatsApp that are not confined to any single operating system and the proliferation of cheap Android devices have diluted the BlackBerry's appeal. Continued...

Last week I read a great newspaper article about designing a house. The writer described finding the right neighborhood, architecting the ultimate living quarters, decorating each and every room, and analyzing what gardens look best around the pool. The article discussed how people spent up to 8 hours a day on all of these design decisions on top of their day jobs. The only problem I have with all this is that it isn't real.
You see, all of this was going on in Second Life.
Don't get me wrong. Virtual worlds are great for collaboration. Attending a meeting where you can be dressed to the nines and see everybody without getting out of your real pajamas is wonderful.
But marrying someone in Second Life while you are married to someone else in real life so that you can live together in a cool new mansion that is not real strikes me as a little strange. Again, sort of like Sun using SPEC estimates - where you don't have to worry about the real availability of a real system or real disclosures or even real results.

The Darfur situation has been the subject of hundreds of articles, thousands of cries for peace and expressions of dismay by concerned people in the world, but the situation has not improved one iota. The latest manifestation of lack of interest in the welfare of the people of Darfur has emerged in fighting around the Abyei region where thousands of new Darfurians have been displaced or killed due to fighting between government forces from the north and rebels from the south. The object of their dispute is the 500,000 barrel-a-day oil pouring from the Abyei area and each side seeks to control this enormous source of wealth. Of course, neither north nor south cares about the people living over this treasure since they are simply irritations which must be removed in order to gain access to the oil. A Sudan expert, John Ashworth notes: "I would be very surprised if the fighting has gone away. everybody recognizes Abyei as one of the most flammable flash points of the many which are likely to derail the Comprehensive Peace Agreement(CPA)."
As refugees who got away without being killed clustered around a UN camp, Anne Marie Ask commented: "They will be here until it is safe and secure. It will be some time." The fighting over oil will go on and on as the innocent victims of this dispute linger in refugee camps. It is quite clear the thirst for oil is all that counts in Darfur.

Tuesday 24th April 2012
Somebody asked me for my thoughts on Saturday's game not long after it had finished and I couldn't help but describe it as a 'One-nil without the One'! As confusing as that sounds that is exactly how I felt coming away from the game.
Although pretty much totally different to our previous home game against Wigan the one similarity for me was how they were both extremely difficult to analyse either positively or negatively.
Two home wins would have seen us all but there in the race for third place but it wasn't to be. Two of the other three also dropping points however, still leaves us in pole position with three to go.
We looked solid at the back against Chelsea but our visitors' somewhat surprising defensive approach also made it extremely difficult to get that all-important goal. I say 'surprising' of course because a win was arguably more crucial for them than us given the two teams' league positions before a ball was kicked.
Without being at our very best going forward however, we did still create numerous chances through the game. Laurent and RVP both struck the woodwork and the latter also saw at least three good opportunities come his way.
That alone is where my description in my opening thoughts came from. I felt we did enough to get a goal on the day and the way the game progressed I also think it would have been enough to take all three points.
The final straight sees us first visit the Potteries to play a fixture that is always tough for every visiting team. With effort, desire, sharpness and that little bit of luck on the day, there is no reason why we don't have a great chance of coming away with three points.
I will finish today offering my and every true Gooner's congratulations to our captain on picking up the two biggest individual accolades football in this country has to offer.
We have all watched your career develop Robin and us Gooners especially recognise your talent, dedication and desire to be up there among the best. We also know the only reason you have not enjoyed these kind of heights before is due to your cruel luck with injuries.
Robin, you know like all of us in this together, once a Gooner, always a Gooner.

Your immune system is mobilizing lymphocytes to respond to the toxins. In addition, the toxins are bursting a large number of your cells and the remains must drain from your tissues via the lymphatic system. Both can cause swelling of the lymph nodes.
Just curious could a bee sting to the scalp cause swollen lymph nodes 24-72 hours after the sting?I got stung a couple days ago (not to self, weeding the garden right next to the beehive and having bright pink hair do not mix well) and had an awful headache for about 3 hours, which them subsided with only minor itching where the sting occurred. But last night woke up to a dull ache in my neck and I have a lump near my hairline that is sensitive (I'm assuming a lymph node). Is this a typical reaction to a bee sting? or should I be concerned? if it is a typical thing, how long should I expect that soreness and inflammation to last?Thanks in advance!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Our 2 yr old male Long coat has been suffering with allergies since he was a puppy. He been on raw since a puppy and get all the right supplements. We've had him tested for various food/chemical intolerance. We see a holistic vet and have tried various Chinese herbal remedies to no avail. He is a constant paw licker and when the weather changes and humidity increases, he just starts to get that yeasty smell. It is just a persistent issue that we have not been able to resolve yet. I am very well versed on the supplement regimen as I have been involved in the business for the last 15 years.
I might give the new Zoetis, non steroid, a try, but I would like to fix the issue by healing the body.
|my boy diesel
|zymox is a miracle drug!
Onyx has the same history as your boy(though she is 7)
I have Zymox with hydrocortisone on hand for when her ears flare up. It works great. She also has environmental allergies(dust mites are the biggie) and is raw fed. I had her tested thru Heska Labs
Apoquel is something I'll be looking at after the newness and shortage fades. I don't know if it will help with the ear problems, but worth a shot.
Good choice for the raw diet! Make sure you change your proteins.
If you decide to do food intolerance testing, IMHO Dr. Jean Dodds Nutri-Scan is the best and has helped several of my friends and others on this blog!
Here are some specifics of the test:
This test measures antibodies to certain foods in dog saliva. High antibody levels indicate that the dog has a food sensitivity and intolerance to that food or foods. Food intolerance or sensitivity is actually quite common whereas food allergy is rare. In fact, food intolerance is the third most common sensitivity condition in dogs and often can be easily remedied with a change in diet.Dr. Jean Dodds, NutriScan tests for the twenty most commonly ingested foods by dogs to provide you with specific results as to your dog's food intolerance's or sensitivities. Since it is a salivary test, you have the convenience to complete the test at home or at your veterinarians office. Best of all, you can have the results in approximately two weeks to help you put your dog on the right diet.
Remember, NutriScan is novel and patented and is not testing for food allergies, but rather tests for food sensitivities and intolerance. These are different body immune responses. Food allergy is a more immediate reaction mediated by production of IgE and IgG antibodies. Food sensitivity and intolerance, by contrast, measures a more delayed body response to offending foods by measuring production of IgA and IgM antibodies primarily in mucosal secretions from the bowel.
NutriScan is split into two test panels, so you can order one or both. Id order both.
Panel1: Beef, Corn, Wheat, Soy, Cows Milk, Lamb, Venison/Deer, Chicken, Turkey, White Fish.
Panel 2: Chicken Eggs, Barley, Millet, Oatmeal, Salmon, Rabbit, Rice, Quinoa, Potatoes, Peanuts/Peanut Butter.
$130 for one panel (10 antigens), $250 for two panels (20 antigens). Vet Allergy test cost about $500 for 20 antigens. Check this page for test differences: http://nutriscan.org/the-nutriscan-d...k-testing.html
Q. How does this test differ from other food allergy tests on serum or feces ?
A. Food allergy tests measure antibodies to IgG and IgE in serum or feces. These are typically more acute allergic reactions to foods, whereas NutriScan measures IgA and IgM antibodies on the bowels mucosal surface, and thus more directly correlates to symptoms of bowel (GI tract) disease. http://nutriscan.org/the-nutriscan-difference/faqs.html
NutriScan is a patented novel saliva test for canine food sensitivity and intolerance. Hemopet Canine Blood Bank, Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory & Greyhound Rescue
This test measures antibodies to certain foods in dog saliva. High antibody levels indicate that the dog has a food sensitivity and intolerance to that food or foods.
I think your dog needs to be on a Digestive Enzyme/Pro-Biotic combination at all times to promote a healthy gut. Here are two human grade products:
Sunday Sundae Nutritional Supplement
The Wholistic Pet
Here are some "natural" remedies for you to use on a regular basis:
Ear Washes - which contain anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal properties: Choose one at a time to see which one works for your particular dog.
Brewed/Steeped Green Tea: http://www.amazon.com/Bigelow-Organic-Green-Tea-40-Count/dp/B000GG1O8U
Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (which contains the medicinal mother tincture): Mix with equal parts of distilled water, drop 10 drops in the ear and massage. Purchased at a local health food store. Pure ACV can also be added to his food to keep yeast at bay in the gut. If interested, I can give you the amounts to add.
Calendula Ear Drops: Combind 1 cup warm distilled or filtered water, 1 teaspoon of Calendula Tincture & ½ teaspoon Sea Salt. Drop 10 drops into ear and gently massage. Calendula (Marigold) Tincture: http://www.amazon.com/Calendula-Tincture--Liquid-Herbal-Extract/dp/B00CB8UV9E/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1397419980&sr=8-7&keywords=calendula+tincture
Coconut Oil: USDA Certified Organic, Raw, Cold Pressed, Non GMO, NO Hexane. Wipe out ears. Purchased in a local health food store. This can also be added to your dogs food.
For ear infections: Glacier Peak Xtreme-Biotic: This herbal blend is the ultimate natural antibiotic. We've combined natural antibiotics Golden Seal & Oregon Grape root, along with Pau D'Arco and Black Walnut. Both known to be blood purifiers and an anti inflammatory. We also add Marshmallow root and Slippery Elm to heal and soothe. Xtremebiotic(TM) ~Ulitimate Natural Antibiotic Formula ~ 1 oz tincture
You may want to switch from Salmon Oil to Krill oil. Krill Oil is 48 more times effective than fish oil, and contains Astaxanthin which is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. This is an easy to use pump spray product: Krill Oil For Pets - Mercola.com Begin with small doses and work up to suggested amount.
Hope something helps and you can get him off of those steroids!
|Have you done any experimenting with possible food intolerances? I know with my pup, the first fall was terrible for him, but when I switched to a kibble with a different protein and starch, the only season allergy symptom he had last fall were hot spots. Not that I liked them, but that was so much better than infected anal glands, eyes and ear! Maybe fooling around with the raw diet might do something for your boy?
Ear Allergy Help Needed
I have a 4 yr. old male GSD who has seasonal allergies that causes itchy ears (inside). Back in Feb. 14 I took him to vet for a Hematoma and it turned out the ear was also infected, impacted, etc. There was no smell or any sign of infection other than his ear was always itchy. Since the surgery for the problems, the vet put him on Prednisone. Initially it was 2 10mg per day. I now give him just one a day. Ears are fine, but he has gained alot of weight and is gets very tired after just a short walk. I want to get him off the prednisone and try something else. I have read about some people using Benedryl, Claritin, vitamin C and so forth. I would like to know what you think works best and what the dosage might be for a 90lb. GSD. He has been on a RAW diet since 6 months old. and I also give him salmon oil daily. He is my baby and I need to get him better without killing him with the prednisone.

Green Bay Dealt Double Overtime Loss
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - When JT Yoho's three-pointer bounced off the rim with less than 10 seconds left in the first overtime Thursday night, it looked like Green Bay (12-12, 6-5 HL) would escape with a hard-fought home victory. But the long rebound caromed right into the hands of Miles Dixon, who drained a three-pointer with 1.7 seconds remaining to force double overtime.
In double overtime, Yoho took advantage of another opportunity, sinking a game-winning three-pointer with 9.5 seconds left to give visiting Wright State (16-8, 7-4 HL) a 70-68 win in Horizon League men's basketball action at the Resch Center.
Green Bay led 32-28 at halftime and still clung to a 52-49 advantage late in regulation, but Yoho made what proved to be the game-tying three-pointer with 1:57 remaining. Neither team scored the rest of the way, with junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) missing a potential game-winner with just a couple seconds on the clock.
In the first overtime, sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.), who had just five points at the end of regulation, made four three throws to turn a tie game into a 60-56 lead with 51 seconds left. Yoho answered with a deep three-pointer, and Sykes split free throws on the next two possessions to make it 62-59 with 20 seconds left.
On WSU's possession, Yoho missed but the fortunate Raider bounce ended up in Dixon's hands. The junior made the three-pointer from the left wing to force another five-minute session.
Sykes made a three to start the second overtime, and after a three-point play by Wright State scored on a layup for a 67-65 lead with 4:00 left. Coming off an injury which limited him to only 16 minutes on Saturday, the sophomore tallied 11 points after regulation to finish with 16 points and five assists in a career-high 45 minutes. Sykes sat for only one minute after halftime.
After WSU tied it, Brown grabbed an offensive rebound with 31 seconds left and made 1-of-2 free throws for a 68-67 lead. The junior finished with 17 points on the night for Green Bay, playing a career-high 46 minutes.
Yoho made the game-winning three under heavy pressure on the next possession, capping a career-high 19-point effort which included five three-pointers. Yoho entered the game with just six made threes in 10 Horizon League games.
Green Bay freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) had another strong effort in a career-high 46 minutes. Fouse broke the program's Division I freshman record for rebounds in a season, grabbing a career-high 15 boards to put his season tally at 184. Current junior Daniel Turner (McCordsville, Ind.) had the record with 180 in 2010-11. Fouse added nine points, three blocks and three steals.
The Phoenix will have a short turnaround before hosting Detroit on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. The contest is a Festival Foods Family Game with tickets starting at just $7, and the first 1,500 youth fans will receive a replica Phoenix jersey compliments of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.

Matters arising from the last meeting
Arsenalisation of the stadium is covered below.
Update on Junior Gunners ticketing is covered below.
Stadium Policy
To create a greater atmosphere at the Man. United Champions League game here, will the club consider giving fans flags/scarves to wave?
We have ordered 60,000 flags and we'll have them in good time for the match – it should create a terrific atmosphere. In terms of atmosphere, we've learned form our and other games we've seen that fans arriving early for Champion's League games about half an hour before the game helps build up the atmosphere. We're aware that the restrictions on the sale of alcohol for Champion's League games means fans come through the turnstiles at the last minute, but the more fans we have in before the game, the more intimidating the atmosphere for the opposition. We'll have the stadium open at least an hour before the game.
The policy on National Flags will be reviewed at the end of the season.
Can the club explain the ticketing policy for the Youth Cup Matches – for a recent match it was disappointing to see the ability to buy tickets for the final shut an hour before the game and we should have had more fans there than actually attended.
We did push it through all the channels we could. We have to be cautious of selling too many tickets on the day of game as this leads to uncertainty about the level of attendance and required staff numbers, in terms of police, catering staff, stewards etc. We are also moving away from a cash-based system and we're not allowed to let people into the stadium via them making a charitable donation. From our experience and experience at other clubs, most people who turn up on the day do within an hour from kick-off and you then can potentially have massive queues building up which could pose problems and lead to complaints from local residents. For the game against Liverpool on May 22nd, we will look to see if we can tweak membership lead up times. Our aim is to maximise attendance at every game that is played at the stadium and we'll look at ways to try to do so. We have promoted these games via our community program in the past and have sold tickets at £1. However, when tickets are given away, it is hard again to gauge how many will turn up.
Can the club confirm their policy of ticket allocation for Champion's League/F.A Cup semi-finals and finals and if it's going to be reviewed in the future?
The general thrust of the policy is that the more away games fans go to, the more likely they are to get a ticket for games such as these, although for the 2006 Champions League final, there was a ballot for the tail end of the allocation for those with few away credits – for this game we had 21,000 tickets. The threshold of away credits required for this seasons' final – if we get there – will in all probability need to be raised as our allocation of tickets. There will be about 19,000 tickets available for the 2 teams who get to the final and we have nearly double the number of season ticket holders that we had for the 2006 final – we will have a lot of disappointed fans. The capacity at Rome is about 60,000 so about 22,000 tickets are not available to fans of the 2 teams playing. Some of these tickets are allocated under contractual arrangements, but we received a letter last week from UEFA stating that every club who doesn't reach the final is able to buy tickets – we don't agree with this and believe that as many tickets as possible should be available to the fans of the 2 teams. We drastically reduced staff and player allocation for the semi-final against Chelsea.
We have to have sold all our ticket allocation by the 17th May, so we will be having a meeting next week to determine what the threshold is. This doesn't give us a lot of time as we won't know if we will be going until after the game against Man.United on 5th May.
Can the club expand on their cannon-club position?
As promised, after the last forum, we had a meeting internally and can confirm that it is still there. For Cannon-club members there are now 2 categories, those who can continue to purchase tickets and stay in the family enclosure and those who don't want to go into the family enclosure can buy tickets as Silver members. We're also look at providing not additional and not just ticketing benefits to being a Cannon Club member. We will be expanding the size of the family enclosure for certain fixtures next season into the upper tier, which will lead up to an additional two blocks of seats for fans who fall under this category, including OAP's.
When does the club level renewal process start?
Information was sent out to club level members about a week ago so most, if not all should have received their renewal information by now, including details on the multi-year deal and how to renew on-line. We've had a positive response thus far and we also have a very strong waiting list.
For General Admission – now we know how many cup games we'll be having next season, can you give a base-line figure for season ticket renewal behind the goal?
As you can imagine, there are a number of permutations in relation to renewal prices for general admission season tickets, based on factors such as opting out of some cup games, location etc – we are aiming to communicate renewal information by about the 10th May. Additional Cup games above the 26 game season-ticket are offered to season ticket holders at a discounted price. The V.A.T on these will be at 15%, even though it's due to go back up in January 2010. There will undoubtedly be some non-renewals for next season, but we do offer other membership categories, if appropriate, for these people.
AISA had an email about someone who was banned from club level – can you let us know what happened?
We don't comment on specific cases, but there may be other circumstances as to why he was given a 3 year banning order.
Upper Tier tickets at Wembley for the F.A Cup semi-final are considerably cheaper than the Emirates
Their lower tier tickets are move expensive than their upper tier ones and some of the seats at the back of the upper tier are a considerable distance away from the pitch, both in terms of height and distance.
Current Shareholding Situation
There has been some activity recently – Danny Fiszman has now reduced his holding from 24% to16% and sold these shares to Stan Kroenke. As stated these are private decisions and we're not privy to the reasons behind them, however the Board feels that both of them have similar business philosophies and the overall number of shares on the Board hasn't changed. If any one individual was to own over 30% of all shares available, then they need to be in a position to be able to make a bid for all the remaining shares in the club. This offer has to be at market value and other shareholders are under no obligation to sell their holdings.
The communication around the share dealing was very good on the website and other media channels.
IWe're conscious that these can be sensitive topics and we did take account of the views expressed at the previous forums. There are regulations surrounding these issues and individual shareholders have a right to privacy.
Any more news on the Property Development?
We're reaching the point of completion on the development, with work now focused on the Gardens – as has been stated previously, the financing around this project is ring-fenced and there is no recourse to the football club. However, if and when the development does make a profit, that will be available to the club. Whilst the timing and value of the profit from the project is not yet confirmed, we still believe that the club will benefit financially from it.
Composition of the Forum
E-mail addresses will be in place from next season so that fans can more effectively communicate with forum representatives and raise topics for discussion formally – the forum will also have additional publicity in future. With this communication channel in place, we won't need 2 representatives of Red, Silver & Gold members in future and these seats will be replaced by a dedicated RedAction position, A Shareholder position and one other to be determined.
Current members can re-stand next year and if no other person comes forward then it would make good sense to allow the person to take the place next year. I'll re-draft the forum rules for next season, to also include the issue of non-attendance.
Arsenalisation of the Stadium
We've had previous discussions about this topic and since the last forum, as well as incorporating some suggestions from those discussions, we've also asked Arsenal staff for their feedback. We are looking to work on the lower concourse in the summer and take the discussions from today to incorporate into the design. We'll arrange a further meeting for forum members (see below) to finalise the decisions as to what we put in place.
[Jon Lee of 20:20] We've worked with Arsenal for a number of years, including working on the design incorporated into the Diamond Club area and the Armoury area. There is a great opportunity in the concourse areas to bring the heritage and history of Arsenal to life. There are 5/6 large Red walls that cold be modernized and reflect the history of Arsenal – these are concrete and are quite rough in terms of surface, so lend themselves to being painted or tiled. There is also a material that can be "air-dried" on which is very durable and if we go down the legends route this will have a better finish than being painted on. We are also suggesting a tiled area. In the area where people put their drinks, we could put Arsenal "source" figures i.e. facts and figures from Arsenal's history e.g. the 49 game unbeaten run. Some of the designs are quite modern, to reflect an editorial edge.
There are also some steel beams around the stadium and these are perfect for putting on motifs or dates from Arsenal's history – with this material Gold seems to work quite well. We've also come up with some ideas for the ceilings and pillars around the concourses as well as something to "welcome" away fans.
As there is a lot of work involved with this, we are going to do it in two stages – at the end of this season and the end of next season. From our previous discussions, you suggested that you liked the red walls to have Arsenal, block paints and having legends embedded in the stories of Arsenal. We talked about moments and games that I think we agreed on. In terms of the Red Walls, what ideas does the forum have?
The 1930's crest
Lyrics from supporters songs
Famous quotes from our history, including famous commentary that relates to the moments – bringing them to life.
It would be good for fans if there were different designs across the stadium and not too much replication in different parts of the ground as it would be good for each area to have its own identity.
In terms of moments, there are many to choose from e.g. the invincibles, Arsène Wenger's first double, the first F.A cup win in 1930 and so on – we will need to have some sort of vote on this to ensure we get feedback from all groups of fans - we obviously don't want to fill every space now as no doubt we will have other ones hopefully in the not too distant future.
Flags of Nations of the world shown on a map that can also represent different teams we have played or where our players have come form.
The debenture boxes at Wimbledon (tennis) are a good example of how pictures and quotes can work well together.
In terms of representing those moments, a headline or piece of text that encapsulates would work well – if we were to paint these, this means we would be able to change them over time. We appreciate that some moments can only effectively be represented pictorially. Another idea that staff have come up with is a wall where players past and present sign it and write their comments about the club or messages to the fans. We have some Red walls at our offices in Highbury House and we have one wall with managers from our history, another with copies of covers of match day programmes, another with a time-line from the move from Highbury. We're also looking to referring to the different concourses as North, South, East & West - which will obviously be geographically correct! This has some overlap with Highbury – what we've seen in the past is that new names can take a long time to bed and in and be grasped by fans in terms of their chanting.
In terms of the bulk-heads –are there any specific ideas you would like incorporated?
The "warning" colours of yellow and black need a bit of work – it would be good to see a sample of that showing "Victory through Harmony" We've got achievements and honours inside the ground – the one thing that won't change is our progression through various stadiums – this may work for this area. You could also have managerial terms of office up there – it's unlikely that previous managers will come up against us again.
The pillars lend themselves to having graphic representations of legends – these could be previous players.
The pillars are colour coded, which to some extent may limit what we can do with these. We're also looking at Arsenalising the concessions stands as they currently just state food and drink.
We'll circulate these and other ideas and get 20:20 to incorporate these into some new designs and take a look at them when they're ready. If amenable to everyone, we'll get together again and have a separate meeting to specifically look at these. We're hoping to have a mid-June sign-off for everything to be in place for the start of next season. We'll get everyone together prior to the Youth game on Friday 22nd May – we'll circulate details.
To help costs, we don't mind coming in to paint!
Any developments with motifs on seats?
We'd like to thank both Emirates and Nike in allowing us to be able to be the only big club that will only have our cannon motif on seats without sponsor identification. In terms of the shrine, we're hoping that this will be up and ready for the start of the new season.
As we're now well underway with the Arsenalisation of the stadium ,some fans will see this as less of a priority – a lot of people were looking at it as a focal point, but with the shrine etc there will now be others.
How does the club feel the montage footage prior to games is working?
It has gone down quite well although we appreciate it is a work in progress and we need to re-visit what visuals and sounds are used just before and as the players walk onto the pitch, It's an important part of creating the right atmosphere and connecting the fans with the players. There are volume restrictions in terms of how loud the stadium music can be – we'll have another look at that. For mid-week games especially there is an issue of how far in advance of kick-off fans are seated, but part of the reason a majority of fans are not seated half an hour before kick off is the great facilities we have in the stadium.
We are close to confirming the opposition for the Emirates trophy.

Health Information
Parts Used & Where Grown
Clusters of round, dark purple-to-black, berry-shaped açaí fruits are harvested to make juice, ice pops, and herbal supplements. Ethnobotanists have also documented folk medicine uses for the seed oil, fruit rind, and roots. The inner core of the thin trunk of the açaí tree is well-known as the source of hearts of palm. Açaí is primarily grown in the Pará region of the Amazon estuary, in the northern region of Brazil. It also grows in French Guyana, Panama, Ecuador, and Trinidad.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:

Açaí is reported to be a traditional remedy for diabetes. Although oxidative stress may contribute to diabetes6 and anthocyanins may improve insulin secretion,7 there is no published evidence that açaí has any effect on diabetes.
Traditional Use (May Not Be Supported by Scientific Studies)
Açaí juice is a major dietary component of Brazilian diets, especially in the Pará region. It is often eaten at breakfast with cassava meal (manioc) or with tapioca and sugar. The açaí fruit is rich in nutrients and is found in many Brazilian prepared foods. The fruit is most popularly used to make juice, but is also found in ice cream, popsicles, and various desserts.
Açaí seeds can be crushed to produce a green oil that has been used as a folk remedy for scrofula (a type of tuberculosis). The roasted, crushed seeds, consumed as tea, are a traditional remedy for fever. Tea made from the root is a folk remedy for jaundice and anemia. Tea made from the grated fruit rind has been used topically as a wash for skin ulcers. Boiled preparations of açaí root have been used traditionally to treat many diseases, including diabetes, hepatitis, malaria, kidney disease, and dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain).
No clinical trials of açaí for the prevention or treatment of any health condition have been published in the medical literature.
How It Works
How It Works
Açaí is one of nature's richest sources of anthocyanins-a type of bioflavonoid. Anthocyanins make up the purple, red, and blue-black pigments found within certain berries, fruits, plants, and flowers. The fruit of açaí also contains protein, fiber, enzymes, vitamin E, amino acids, minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese, zinc, and boron), phytosterols, and beneficial fatty acids.
How to Use It
Frozen pulp: approximately 100 grams (3.5 ounces) per day is recommended, although there is no accepted standard. Brazilians commonly drink up to a liter (34 ounces) of açaí juice per day.
Powder: 1 ounce of powder mixed with 10 to 12 ounces of water, once or twice a day.
Freeze-dried açaí in capsules or tablets is sometimes recommended at 1 to 2 grams per day.
