AIDA64 Extreme: Overclocking, Benchmarking and Diagnostics of Home PC
AIDA64 is a brand well-known among computer enthusiasts for nearly twenty years already. With this utility you'll learn the ins and outs of your computer. AIDA64 Extreme scans hardware and software on your PC to provide a detailed report on how well it runs, how far it goes and what possible problems you should fix.
More specifically, AIDA64 Extreme is a home edition of the famous software made for easy overclocking, benchmarking and diagnostics of Windows computers. How does your old bucket of bolts compare to modern top-notch devices? What exact hardware is installed in the system? What are read and write speeds of your SSD and HDD drives? Is performance gain you achieved by changing memory clock timings really worth the candles?
The answers are here: AIDA64 Extreme.
Learn how fast your PC is
We don't say benchmarking is vital. But with proper measuring you can receive a whole lot of information on how well your system performs. AIDA64 Extreme delivers proper measuring for sure.
With the tool you can accurately rate the speed of each and every component and device in your computer. Starting from CPU raw power and motherboard capabilities to specific measurements of GPU computation speed (called FLOPS) and memory read and write rates, AIDA64 Extreme gives you plenty of thought-provoking information.
Surely, bare dry numbers are nothing, so AIDA64 also displays a number of systems to compare your achievement with. If you ever wondered how fast a 6-core CPU is compared to 4-core and 8-core, AIDA64 benchmarks are your chance to find the answer.
Know what exact hardware is inside
With its diagnostics and stress-testing capabilities, AIDA64 Extreme is a recommended way to test the inside of a computer you are about to buy, especially on the second market. The program provides slew of detailed and very in-depth data on hardware installed in the system. It detects parts, models, manufacturers using its advanced detection algorithms and a vast and constantly updated database of components.
For each component a bunch of information is shown. To name a few: specific CPU revision to accurately identify the CPU; current core voltage which is crucial for overclocking; memory speed, type and exact timings. Detailed chipset data. Network info. Run AIDA64 on the computer and get full intelligence (over 50 pages!) on hardware configuration as well as diagnostic information to detect and prevent possible hardware problems.
Monitor PC health
AIDA64 Extreme receives information from 250+ sensor scattered across the system. This allows you to obtain real-time values of temperatures, fan speeds, voltages, power consumption of CPU, graphic card, disk drives, memory cards and other devices. Simply let AIDA64 Extreme take some space in your system tray and see any of these parameters at any time. Happen to enjoy one of those gaming keyboards with an LCD display onboard? AIDA64 can mirror health data there too.
Going further, AIDA64 Extreme provides instruments to test stability of the system. It works as follows. You run a stress-test. As it finishes, you receive a detailed report on how temperature, voltage and other parameters have changed with varying load. This way you can test CPU, memory, hard drives and graphic cards to quickly locate the performance bottle-neck of your system.
Be in control of software as well
AIDA64 Extreme is equipped with powerful software audit functions too. Finally you have a sure way to tell exactly what applications, drivers and system services are running on your system. The utility scans the computer and OS and displays a comprehensive 50 pages report on installed programs, executed services, dynamically linked libraries. You see what apps and services run on startup (and can clean the mess if necessary), browsing history, OS settings and other info.
Try the leading information tool
AIDA64 Extreme is nicely balanced for home use: takes little space, works on everything starting from Windows 95, and allows you to remote control its main capabilities from your smartphone or tablet. It's been a leader for nearly 20 years for a reason. Try it.

Some diamonds are more than 3 billion years old, two-thirds the age of the Earth. There are a few "youngsters," though, which are only 628 million years old.
The majority of diamonds were formed more than 100 miles below the surface of the Earth, some as deep as 400 miles down.
Diamonds are mined in about 25 countries and on every continent except Europe and Antarctica.
Think diamonds and you imagine a colorless gem. They actually come in lots of different shades; colored diamonds are called "fancies."
A law in 13th-century France decreed that only royalty could wear diamonds.
Diamonds can withstand extremely high temperatures and that makes them ideal for use in windows, in industry and in space probes, including the 1978 Pioneer space probe to the surface of Venus.
From Leviev's Vivid Collection: a 5-carat blue diamond ring. Add another 2 carats for the pink pavé diamonds on the band.
The largest rough diamond ever found was the Cullinan, 3,106 carats, discovered on Jan. 26, 1905 in the Premier mine of South Africa. It was cut into nine major stones, including the largest in existence--the Cullinan 1, or Great Star of Africa--at 530.2 carats. Today it's mounted in the British Royal Scepter, which is housed in the Tower of London.
To produce a single 1-carat diamond, 250 tons of earth are mined.
Until the 18th century, diamonds were mined primarily in India. Now Australia produces the greatest number of diamonds, and Botswana leads in terms of the value of production.

A life with demon tormentors is not fun. It is torment and oppression, with fear continually. They will try to pass themselves off as good, human, and your friend but nothing is FARTHER from the truth. They have a clear purpose that was taught by Jesus. In the first century, Jesus, the Son of God talked about demons on a number of occasions and here are a few…
"And coming down from Jerusalem, the scribes said, He has Beelzebub; and He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons. And calling them near, He spoke to them in parables, saying, How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house is not able to stand. And if Satan rises upon himself, and has been divided, he is not able to stand, but he has an end. No one, not any, having entered into his house, is able to plunder the vessels of the strong one, unless he first tie up the strong one; and then he will plunder his house. " (Mark 3:22-27 LITV)
In this teaching Jesus said that demons can not cast out demons, and if they did their kingdom would not stand. Demons have a specific purpose and casting one another out is not it. But they will lie all of the time, in fact they cannot tell the truth. If you see their lips moving they are lying. If your belief system gets compromised through lies you will not know where to turn for freedom. Jesus taught that a thief enters a house to bind the strong man. If he succeeds he will plunder the whole house. If this happens to you, you still have the authority now to defeat him. Look at another teaching by Jesus.
"The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. " (John 10:10 KJV)
The thief that Jesus is talking about is the devil, the fallen angels, the satan, the accuser of our brothers and sisters, and the evil authorities in your life that work night and day to cause rifts between friends and family members in order to isolate you. Now, look at Jesus' teaching about the activity and habits of demons.
"But when the unclean spirit goes from a man, he goes through dry places seeking rest and does not find it. Then he says, I will return to my house from which I came out. And coming, he finds it standing empty, swept and decorated. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and entering dwells there. And the last things of that man become worse than the first. So it will be also to this evil generation. " (Matthew 12:43-45 GNB)
When the demon is cast out, it leaves your house, travels the family bloodlines looking for another place to sell its wares, and do wicked things, but if he does not find one he returns. If you have not replaced his empty place with God's Spirit and new habits, he will come again and bring seven more evil friends with him. Now, you have complete authority over the demons, but you must take action to defeat them. As your heart and mind changes, you will stand free and motivated by new ways of thinking and new ways of living.
How do you know if you have a demon? If you will answer the following twenty questions with a friend who can help you, it will be clear. If you need help with any demons you discover, I am available for a session and ministry. This list is not exhaustive but it will begin the process. Through the twenty questions that I will put in this post, you will be able to get a real good scope and sequence of the demonic influence in your life.
Twenty Questions that reveal demonic oppression
- Have you experienced a time when you felt an eminent destruction, obliteration, annihilation, devastation, demolition, ruin, damage, or intense fear?
- Have you ever felt a stomach-ache, knot-in-your-stomach, spiking pain of terror?
- Have you experienced bouts with the ache and or sting of self-imposed introspection?
- Have you experienced an abrupt change in your personality after the death of a relative?
- Do you experience dark thoughts of emptiness and a mysterious paranoia?
- Are you experiencing consuming thoughts that push you to gratify the desires in your body?
- Are you experiencing pesky feelings that focus your thoughts toward destructive activities, just to prove that you are invincible?
- Do you have addictive habits toward immoral behavior?
- Are you experiencing a strong pull or a compulsive energy pushing you toward specific behaviors?
- Have you ever felt severely isolated, as if you were being held captive, for long periods of time?
- Do you feel compelled toward extreme behaviors that tempt death, even suicide?
- Have you ever been committed to a hospital facility and diagnosed as insane, clinically depressed, multiple personalities, or psychotic?
- Have you heard voices in your head telling you to do radical and excessive activities?
- Have you had nightmares where dark beings talk to you and solicit you to make deals with them?
- Have you experienced abuse in your childhood and felt helpless, and then felt a surge of energy and power to protect you, and you thought "I wonder where this is coming from?"
- Has anyone ever told you about your behavior being confident, powerful, and even intimidating, but you had little to no memory of the event?
- Have you ever felt a surge of fantastical and fanatical power that paints you as the hero and everyone else as the benefactors of your dominating influence?
- Have you ever experienced a sudden and possible continuing sense of a dirty sexual energy around you and drawing to you others who have the same instincts?
- Have you encountered a feeling that is an overwhelming sense of numbness toward emotional experiences and circumstances?
- Have you come into contact with a cloud of confusion that makes it hard to focus your thoughts or organize your expression?
And one more for good measure:
- Have you ever been alone and felt a creepy sense that someone was checking you out?
I have talked to literally thousands of people who have been delivered from the oppression of demons. Sometimes a demon hides and surfaces only when it suits him, or when he has an advantage. As a demon surrounds you, he will manifest to incite more and more anxiety, fear, and bondage. The end will be either your death or your deliverance. The choice is yours.
If you are having problems with the demonic there is hope, and a process for deliverance. Please email me for help at email@example.com. Blessings

Police: 3 Dead After Man Opens Fire at Delaware Courthouse
WILMINGTON, Del. (TheBlaze/AP) — A gunman opened fire Monday morning in a Delaware courthouse lobby just as the building was opening to the public for the day, exchanging shots with police and leaving three people – including the shooter – dead, authorities said.
"It happened so fast," said Jose Beltran, 53, an employee at the New Castle County Courthouse who was entering the lobby when he heard two shots. He said he turned around and heard three or more shots as he ran.
Delaware State Police Sgt. Paul Shavack said the suspected gunman and two women are dead. The city's mayor said one of the women killed was the shooter's estranged wife, but Shavack said police had not confirmed that was the case.

Shavack said did not say how the gunman died. He said two police officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
He said the shooting was not random, with the motive still to be determined, and he cautioned against information coming from any other source.
Shavak noted that the gunman opened fire before he passed metal detectors in the lobby.
Chick Chinski, 62, of Middletown said he was entering the courthouse to report for jury duty when he heard popping sounds.
"It didn't sound like gunfire first at all," said Chinski, adding that he saw the gunman pointing his weapon.
He said it seemed that the shooter deliberately targeted the two women who were shot as they stood in the middle of the lobby.

"Absolutely," he said. "It's right what he went after when he come in the door. That's exactly what he did instantly."
Chinski said that earlier, he shared an elevator with the gunman and others from the parking garage. The gunman was quiet and did not appear agitated, Chinski said.
In the hours after the shooting, dozens of police cars and emergency vehicles were on the streets surrounding the courthouse. Police searched the courthouse room by room as a precaution.
In the wake of the shooting, Delaware Governor Jack Markell released this message: "Our thoughts and prayers right now are with the victims of this senseless violence and the Capitol Police officers who put their lives on the line to protect the courts and public every day."
Daniel Hernandez helped save the life of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and his life experience is a source of true inspiration in this heartfelt memoir.
"I don't consider myself a hero," says Daniel Hernandez. "I did what I thought anyone should have done. Heroes are people who spend a lifetime committed to helping others."
When Daniel Hernandez was twenty years old, he was working as an intern for U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords. On January 8, 2011, during a "Congress on Your Corner" event, Giffords was shot. Daniel Hernandez's quick thinking saved Giffords's life until the paramedics arrived and took her to the hospital. Hernandez's bravery and heroism has been noted by many, including President Barack Obama.
But while that may have been his most well-known moment in the spotlight, Daniel Hernandez, Jr., is a remarkable individual who has already accomplished much in his young life, and is working to achieve much more. This memoir explores Daniel's life, his character, and the traits that a young person needs to rise above adversity and become a hero like Daniel.

These groups should not park in Garage B for Wayson and Donner Pavilions because it cannot accommodate additional parking.
Reminder: As a courtesy to ensure patients and visitors get the yellow-lined (most easily accessible) parking spaces, we ask that:
- Employees and Auxilians park in the green-lined spots.
- Medical staff park in the red-lined spots.
- Vendors and contractors park on levels 7 and 8.

Here's a quote to ponder:
As Montesquieu understood, polities established on extended territories tend to end up as despotisms. They do so for a set of simple reasons. In such a polity, the government is at a great distance from the vast majority of the people it governs. It is out of sight, and, as a consequence, it is largely out of mind. As such, it offers to those in charge a temptation that human beings cannot withstand. They have in their hands Gyges' ring, and in time it will be used. To this one can add that large polities are subject to frequent emergencies and that this tends to concentrate power in the hands of the central administration.
Montesquieu suggests one antidote and hints at another. He expressly recommends federalism. Federal states can for the most part be governed in the manner of small polities. They leave ample space for citizen participation in decisions of local import. They are also able, because of their size, to defend themselves against large polities. Montesquieu's prime contemporary example was the Netherlands.
The antidote that he hints at is the separation of powers. Where there are representative institutions, elected representatives can look after the interests of the people. If the legislature is divided between two bodies, they can be set as sentinels over one another. If there is a separate executive power, the man occupying that position can be expected to enforce the laws without prejudice, and this means that the legislators will be subject to the laws they pass (which is a sobering thought apt to encourage prudence on their part). They in turn exercise legislative oversight with regard to the conduct of his ministers in office. Finally, the judicial power (and he has juries first and foremost in mind) protects individual citizens against a tyrannical enforcement of the law on the part of the executive.
All in all the separation of powers — especially that between the legislature and the executive — encourages a healthy conflict within the central government by means of which the two powers guard against one another.
The way our government is structured is not arbitrary. But to so many—especially the younger generations, who are barely taught about what people like Montesquieu said, or assigned to read the Federalist Papers, even in the finest schools—they probably seem that way. If a person hasn't received any grounding in these matters it makes sense to ask: why limit the federal government? Why have a republic at all? End gridlock! Down with the filibuster! Let's make it easier to pass bills and issue executive orders so that the central government can solve problems and help us.

The way Rucka treated the whole New 52 and earlier stories in Rebirth. Azzarello had made me love the character of Wonder Woman for the first time. Rucka destroyed any interest I had in her.

In General - Azzarello's run. It destroyed a lot of the things that Marston and Perez had put in place that made Diana's world unique and inspiring.
Specifically - My most hated moment was during Azzarello's run when Wonder Woman sexually assaulted Orion. This was crude, disgusting, and completely out of character for Diana. Runner up also comes from Azzarello's run where it was revealed that the Amazons were man-hating/killing sex-pirates. Number three comes from the Perez run when Steve Trevor was made too old to be a viable love interest for WW. That threw WW's love life into turmoil for 20+ years.
Currently Reading: Aquaman, Batgirl & The Birds of Prey, Green Arrow. Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps, Justice League of America, The Terrifics, Titans, Wonder Woman, & Wonder Woman '77.
Pretty much anything from Azz's run pertaining to the Amazons.
Amazons Attack.
Literally anything written about Diana in the Injustice Universe. Well, other than the first game's writing of the "real" Diana from the other universe, anyway.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--
Rucka's amateur hour New52 rug-sweeping
Rucka's forced dynamic with Batman (they should be respected teammates at best, but these two realistically would not get along as friends).
Amazons Attack
Injustice Wonder Woman
That's just off the top of my head.

Azzarello, Amazons Attack, Darkseid killing half the Amazons and James Robinson will have to work long and hard to make me like Diana's long lost twin because I already hate the idea.
Count me among the chorus of woe saying no to:
- sex pirate baby killing
- Zeus-daddy drama
- Amazons Attack
- Donna the mass murderer
- Injustice, Flashpoint, Infnit Crisis WW
Basically, the shallow spectacle events tend to be bad for WW.
Amazons Attack
Azzarello's Amazons
The Finch Run, and the New 52 output from Johns and others that was so messy
Making Steve and Etta older and boring post-Crisis.
Any time Cheetah or another for is jobbed.
Time traveling Wonder Hippolyta, and making Diana a legacy
Donna getting screwed up by Crisis, Diana being the rookie of the major heroes and appearing so long after
Deodato Jr./Benes' "porny" WW
Infinite Crisis
Rucka's Blackest Night tie-in
2/3 of Johns' JL run
Azz's Amazons
This opinion would change if DC ever had Bruce loosen up some. But despite a few instances now and then it's never stuck. The fans like asshole Batman too much. Unless they give it a shot again if he gets engaged to Selina and it sticks that time. But I'm not counting on it.

Big names on police panel
Locke, Rice to serve on new oversight commission
Updated 10:00 pm, Friday, June 29, 2007
Outflanking City Council President Nick Licata, Mayor Greg Nickels named an 11-member panel Friday to review Seattle's politically pummeled police accountability system and recommend improvements.
With the two City Hall politicians maneuvering to each claim to have thought of the idea first, Licata said he will move ahead with his plan to appoint "experts in the field of professional accountability in policing" to a separate task force answerable to the council.
Nickels announced the commission Friday as the NAACP and other organizations clamored for Chief Gil Kerlikowske to resign amid a scandal over two high-profile officer misconduct cases. The uproar started after a citizen oversight panel blasted Kerlikowske for his role in an internal investigation that cleared two officers of serious misconduct in a controversial Jan. 2 drug arrest.
Kerlikowske angrily defended his decisions when a copy of the report was leaked a week ago, and he and the mayor accused critics of politicizing the report, written by the Office of Professional Accountability Review Board, which is appointed to review misconduct cases.

On Friday, Nickels said that while Seattle's police accountability system is considered a model nationally for its mix of civilian and officer oversight, it was time to assess how well it has worked.
"It has served us well -- but eight years later, I think the time is right for a thorough and comprehensive review. It's time to take another look at how the department polices itself," he said.
The mayor-appointed volunteer panel has some heavy-duty civic and political names -- including former Gov. Gary Locke, former Seattle Mayor Norm Rice and former U.S. Attorney Mike McKay, a notably prominent Republican amid an array of big-name Democrats -- as well as critics of police procedures and experts in police accountability.
The panel includes four people who had roles in a 1999 citizens panel and whose work led to the system now in place, and others who haven't hesitated to call the Police Department to account over the years.
The latter include Bob Boruchowitz, former director of The Defender Association, which defends indigent criminal suspects; Jennifer Shaw, legislative director of the ACLU of Washington and a former public defender; and Hubert Locke, dean emeritus of public affairs at the University of Washington and an adviser to the 1999 panel.
Nickels' panel also includes prominent trial lawyer and Democratic political heavyweight Jenny Durkan, who, along with McKay, was a member of the 1999 panel, and former Superior Court Judge Terry Carroll, who, like Hubert Locke, was an adviser to that panel. Their work led to formation of the Office of Professional Accountability, a team of investigators who work under a civilian director, along with a civilian auditor who also examines select cases.
Other panel members are Lorenz Gonzalez, a civil rights lawyer and president of the Latina/o Bar Association of Washington; Pramila Jayapal, executive director of Hate Free Zone Washington, which advocates for immigrant communities of color; and Judith Krebs, general counsel of the poltically powerful Service Employees International Union Local 775.
Seattle, under Kerlikowske, was one of the first cities to adopt such a system.
Kerlikowske, who has the final say on officer discipline, said that despite the controversy, he is comfortable with his decisions, many of them "tough" in hundreds of disciplinary cases.
"I feel the decisions I've made have been with all the best evidence and the best advice, and certainly in the best interest, first of this community, and secondly, for the men and women of the Seattle Police Department," he said.
But his exoneration of two officers, Greg Neubert and Mike Tiejten, of serious misconduct after their credibility was called into question by a store surveillance camera, threw intense scrutiny on the department's internal investigation process.
This week, Kerlikowske again took flak, this time over the promotion of a sergeant who avoided discipline two years ago for a questionable arrest outside a Capitol Hill nightclub in which a man with no criminal record was kicked, punched and wrestled to the ground.
The commission, slated to begin work next month, will examine the OPA's effectiveness, structure and organizational chart and whether it is adequately staffed.
It will not review individual cases, but will examine the police chief's role in internal investigations and whether it should be changed, Nickels said. It will consult with other experts and review other models, and issue a final report by November.
It also could look at whether the OPA director, now Kathryn Olson, a former U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawyer, should report to the mayor instead of the police chief to ensure independence, and whether the chief should be required to outline his reasoning on officer discipline cases, sources said.
But any recommendations to change disciplinary procedures would likely be subject to collective bargaining with the Seattle Police Officers' Guild, which already has filed complaints over recent changes in OPA procedure. A recent survey of guild members found that most distrust the unit, feeling it's too easily influenced by politics.
The city and the union are in negotiations over the next labor contract, which could be signed through 2009. Any changes subject to negotiation now couldn't be made without the guild's consent.
Nickels said the city would bargain for any necessary changes subject to negotiations at the appropriate time.
According to Licata, the mayor's office on Thursday rebuffed his suggestion that the mayor and the council work together on examining the review system.
Licata said in a statement that he asked Ceis to "ask the mayor to consider delaying an announcement of the membership of his task force until they had the time to work together on a scope, membership and timeline. Ceis said the mayor was too far along in establishing his group."

The Oregon Department of Water Resources and city of Salem sent letters this week to nearly 400 residents telling them the Cinnamon Lakes Dam need immediate action to bring it into safety compliance.
The Statesman Journal reports the dam was used in a fish-farming operation in the 1960s and is now owned by a condominium association and mobile home park.

Greece Optional Tours and Questions
1. Does anyone have suggestions on which additional tours to add and what islands would you suggest relaxing on the beach?
2. How was the cruise ship? Was it overly crowded?
3. Suggestions on packing?
- Read the responses 2 responses so far
Hey Nicole, I went on the Golden Fleece Tour which was the 7 day cruise. Depending on what tours you do, the only good amount of time we found to relax on a beach was in Rhodes. The beach is nice and you can do water sports as well. There's also a place to do cheap washing as the ship is a bit expensive.
I did tours to Lindos on Rhodes and Oia village on Santorini. You can do optional tours on Crete and Patmos, but I didn't do those. On Mykonos you might have time to hit the beach, but probably only the beach in the main town. The tours are organised by the cruise ship and some are pretty expensive compared to if you organised it yourself. I also did the Greek Island Hopping before doing the Golden Fleece and the volcano tour on Santorini was only 15 euros compared to the cruise ship price of 57. But your tour manager will help with ideas on what to do.
The cruise ship we had was pretty good. Decent food and the drinks package is definitely worth it. I think it was about 22 euros a day and you can drink as much as you want of anything, cocktails, shots, beer, wine etc.
Hope this helps.
I did the 7 day cruise also and did the full package. It was under $400 euro (I beleive it was about 365) to do it all. It ended up that you got 3 excursions free.
Website for the excursions: http://www.louiscruises.com/images/stories/pdf/2012/Louis-Cristal/Greece-Turkey/ENGLISH.pdf
Highlights of Istanbul – with Lunch : This was fun and you got to do alot, I found it was worth it. The Bosphorus cruise was so much fun!
Ephesus & the House of the Virgin Mary : I did both (I was the only one on my cruise to do both). I enjoyed both so much. You cannot take picture in the house though. If you do it make sure to to write a special wish or prayer on a peice a paper to put in the prayer wall.
St. John's Monastery & Grotto of Apocalypse : I also enjoyed these very much. You cannot take pictures inside either. But they are both amazing to look at and very peaceful.
Delos Apollo Sanctuary : I enjoyed it but it was super hot and you are standing in the sun for a long time. If you are not a fan of ruins then this won't be for you. The tour guide we had was the best I had on my whole Europe trip, she was very educational but not boring.
Rhodes & Lindos: Their was a strike this day so we couldn't see the Acropolis. Still did the tour though and it was a waste of money. Majority of us slept on the long bus ride
Knossos Palace : This was very boring. I walked off on this tour and did my own thing and then went and waited for the bus. Not worth it
Excursion to Oia – Wish we had longer. Amazing to see all the white and blue homes. Well worth it (It sounds funny but here in Canada we have this Greek yogurt commercial that I get excited when it comes on cause you see Oia)
With all these tours they gave you a free foot massage. I didn't have enough time to use gift certificate as with all these tours I barely had time to do much. But I don't regret it.
We are no longer accepting new responses to this discussion thread.

Comments Off on #Amino acids
Commonly referred to as 'the building blocks of protein', amino acids are needed to make almost all components of the body including enzymes, blood corpuscles, hormones, antibodies, hair, skin, bone and tissues.
Amino acids are generally linked together by peptide bonds, to form peptides. When ten or more are linked, these are known as polypeptides. Very large polypeptides are known as proteins. Amino acids are often classified according to whether they are 'essential' or 'non-essential'. This is a potentially misleading description since it is sometimes assumed to mean that most amino acids do not play an essential role in the body. In fact the term 'essential' does not refer to the role of the amino acids but to the body's ability to synthesize them. 'Essential' amino acids are those which the body is incapable of synthesizing and which must, therefore, be obtained from the diet. Although equally important, amino acids such as taurine, carnitine and tyrosine can, at least in healthy individuals, be synthesized from other amino acids and are therefore described as 'non-essential'.
Some authorities have made statements that amino acid supplementation is valueless because most people in the western world already eat too much protein. However this fails to take account of individual biochemistry and possible errors of metabolism. Some people may be less capable than others of synthesizing 'non-essential' amino acids and would therefore benefit from supplementation, especially if they do not regularly consume animal products in their diet.
Amino acids can be divided into a number of categories according to their structure and functions:
- Amino acids with important metabolites: lysine, carnitine, histidine
- Aromatic amino acids: phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan
- Branched chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, valine
- Glutamate amino acids: glutamic acid, GABA, glutamine, proline, hydroxyproline, aspartic acid, asparagine
- Sulphur amino acids: cysteine, glutathione, taurine, methionine, homocysteine
- Threonine amino acids: threonine, glycine, serine, alanine
- Urea cycle amino acids: arginine, citrulline, ornithine
Glucogenic amino acids are those which, after losing their amino group, give rise to metabolic intermediate substances which form glucose. These are: alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, hydroxyproline, methionine, proline, serine, threonine and valine.
Amino acids can occur in two isomer forms known as the 'D' and 'L' forms. This is why you will often see them described as L-tryptophan or L-tyrosine for instance. The 'D' form of amino acids is not usually found in nature and, with the exception of D-phenylalanine, is not normally utilizable by the human body.
The so-called essential amino acids
- Histidine
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Lysine
- Methionine
- Phenylalanine
- Threonine
- Tryptophan
- Valine

Comments Off on Alanine
An amino acid formed from the conversion of pyruvate (a common compound formed during carbohydrate metabolism) or the breakdown of DNA or the dipeptides carnosine and anserine, (this latter process requires a zinc-dependent enzyme) found in large amounts in chicken and turkey.
Alanine helps to prevent exercise-induced ketosis and may reduce the ketosis of diabetes. It can be converted quickly in the liver to usable glucose, thus acting as a major energy source, and by triggering the release of glucagon from the liver, it can stimulate an increase in blood sugar.
Alanine also acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and is important in the body's production of lymphocytes (white blood cells). According to environmental medicine expert Dr William Rea, it is frequently deficient in chemically sensitive individuals, resulting in a slow ability to conjugate toxins.

Comments Off on Arginine
Amino acid
Arginine is one of the urea cycle amino acids. It plays an important role in the conversion of ammonia from protein breakdown, into urea which can be excreted via the kidneys, and it stimulates the activity of the enzyme which starts off the process. Arginine is also a component of antidiuretic hormone, a hormone which reduces the excretion of water by the kidneys.
Many people take arginine (together with another amino acid, ornithine) as a body-building supplement. There is some evidence that supplementation with these amino acids may stimulate the release of growth hormone, which is responsible for increasing muscle bulk, and also insulin. The suggested dose is 2 grams of arginine and 2 of ornithine on an empty stomach before retiring, and 2 grams on an empty stomach prior to vigorous exercise. 100 mcg of a chromium supplement may also be helpful. Arginine supplementation should be avoided in cases of schizophrenia and herpes virus.
Arginine-rich foods include nuts, peanuts, seeds, chocolate and grains (cereals). Weight for weight, peanuts, tofu, pumpkin seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds and brazil nuts are as rich in arginine as animal proteins.

Comments Off on asparticacid
Aspartic acid
Amino acid
Known as a glutamate amino acid, aspartic acid is made from another amino acid, glutamic acid, by enzymes using vitamin B6. It plays an important part in the urea cycle (the conversion of toxic ammonia from protein breakdown into urea which can be excreted by the kidneys), and in DNA metabolism. Aspartic acid is a major excitatory neurotransmitter). Animal studies have found that both potassium and magnesium aspartate may be able to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of the thymus gland, bone marrow and spleen tissue, as well as help the red blood cell-producing organs to regenerate after exposure to radiation.
With glutamine, aspartic acid forms asparagine, and with citrulline it forms arginosuccinate. It is involved in oxidative phosphorylation and energy production.
Availability: Not easily available in its pure form. Best taken as mineral aspartates, (e.g. magnesium aspartate).

Branched-chain amino acids (also see Amino acids)
These are the three amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine, comprising about 40 per cent of the total minimum daily requirement for essential amino acids. They are particularly involved in energy and muscle metabolism, and can be used directly as an energy source by muscles. They are also anabolic, promoting protein synthesis.
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are particularly depleted by stress, and studies have suggested that starvation, injury, surgery or infection raise requirements for BCAAs more than other amino acids. They may be elevated in diabetics since low insulin levels reduce the uptake of BCAA by muscle. BCAAs compete with each other and with tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and methionine for transport to the brain. BCAAs can act as neurotransmitters and are constituents of neuropeptides which have neurotransmitter functions.
BCAAs stimulate protein synthesis, inhibit protein breakdown, and can substitute for glucose, providing an alternative energy source for the body. Because of their ability to maintain blood sugar levels, some doctors believe that BCAAs may be a more ideal energy source than glucose in intravenous feeding solutions, particularly as they decrease the rate of breakdown and utilization of other amino acids. Nitrogen retention (an indicator of the ability to use protein) in critically ill patients seems to be proportional to the amount of BCAAs, and BCAA supplements seem to be able to correct most hypercatabolic (tissue wasting) states.
Cases of unexplained anorexia may respond to BCAA supplements.

Comments Off on carnitine
Amino acid
The most important function of carnitine is thought to be its role in regulating fat metabolism – carrying fat across a membrane to the energy-burning mitochondria of each cell. The more carnitine is available, the faster fat is transported, and the more fat is used for energy. This is a particularly vital function in the heart muscle.
Carnitine also helps the body to break down branched-chain amino acids into fuel for the muscles when necessary, and it controls ketone levels in the blood. Ketones are the result of the incomplete oxidation of fats in energy production. They are high in diabetics (whose hearts often metabolize carnitine abnormally) and they also rise in high-protein or high-fat diets and tend to acidify the blood.
In a double-blind study which administered 2 grams of carnitine or a placebo to ten volunteers 1 hour before they began working on an exercise cycle, it was found that at the maximum exercise intensity, treatment with L-carnitine significantly increased the maximum oxygen uptake and power output. Oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, pulmonary ventilation and plasma lactate were reduced. The researchers concluded that carnitine supplementation results in a more efficient performance at maximum exercise intensity. (Vecchiet L et al: Influence of L-carnitine administration on maximal physical exercise. Eur J Appl Physiol 61(5-6):486-90, 1990.)

Comments Off on cysteine
Amino acid
Cysteine belongs to the sulphur group of amino acids. It is obtained from dietary sources and can also be synthesized from methionine. Cysteine contributes to the structure of proteins, in the form of cystine. (Cystine is created when two molecules of cysteine bond together the two amino acids can for most purpose be considered as the same). It also plays a role in energy metabolism and can be converted to glucose if necessary. Cysteine supply may be a limiting factor for white blood cell (lymphocyte) function. Research has shown that cysteine supply is impaired in a number of conditions associated with immunodeficiency, including Aids.
In the liver, cysteine is used to form the amino acid glutathione which helps to detoxify potentially harmful substances and free radicals. It is also a precursor of the detoxifying amino acid taurine.
A cysteine deficiency can result in allergic-like chemical sensitivities and in abnormal glucose metabolism, since cysteine is involved in glucose metabolism and holds the insulin molecule together.
Do not supplement cysteine or glutathione in insulin-dependent diabetes because cysteine acts as a coenzyme for insulin degeneration.
Vegetarian sources: Weight for weight, soya protein concentrates, almonds, sesame seeds and walnuts are as rich in cysteine as animal proteins.
Availability of supplements: N-acetyl cysteine is becoming the preferred form of cysteine supplementation, and is available in health food shops or through practitioners. As a detoxification aid, the suggested dose is about 1 gram per day.

Comments Off on glutamic-acid
Glutamic acid
Amino acid
Glutamic acid or glutamate can be manufactured by the body. It is a precursor of proline, ornithine, arginine and polyamines. It functions as a stimulatory neurotransmitter and can also be converted by the body into the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA and the amino acid glutamine, which participates in the production of DNA. Glutamic acid is found in particularly high levels in the brain, for instance in the nerves of the hippocampus, its memory centre.
Researchers working with epileptic patients have found that most epileptics have decreased taurine, GABA and glycine, with increased aspartic acid and glutamic acid. An explanation for this imbalance may be that glutamic acid is not being properly converted to GABA in these patients. The vitamin B6-dependent enzyme glutamate decarboxylase makes GABA from glutamic acid. Vitamin B6 deficiency is known to be associated with seizures and convulsions.
'Chinese restaurant syndrome', the symptoms of which include headache, nausea, weakness, flushing and sweating after eating Chinese food, may be due to a high content of monosodium glutamate – a sodium salt of glutamic acid – in the food. Those who suffer from this syndrome may also have reduced levels of glutamate decarboxylate. It has been proposed that this syndrome can be prevented with vitamin B6 supplementation.

Comments Off on glutamine
Amino acid
Glutamine is not found in food. It is primarily a brain fuel which can take the place of glucose. It is particularly abundant in the substantia nigra and thalamus of the brain, as well as in the blood, where its concentration is three to four times greater than all other amino acids. It is 10 to 15 times more concentrated in the cerebrospinal fluid than in the blood. In fasting or starvation states, when glycogen stores have been exhausted, large amounts of glutamine (and alanine) are released from muscle tissue and serve to shuttle amino acid nitrogen and carbon to other tissues. The carbon may be converted to glucose by the liver and made available for energy production.
In the 1960s an experiment was carried out supplementing 15 grams a day of L-glutamine to alcoholics. Compared with placebo, this was found to produce a significant improvement in control over alcohol consumption, but follow-up studies are lacking.
Glutamine also performs a major role in DNA synthesis. An influx of large amounts of glutamine may stimulate muscle protein synthesis. 60 per cent of the ammonia produced in the kidney tubules to buffer excessive urinary acidity comes from the breakdown of glutamine.

Comments Off on glutathione
Amino acid
Glutathione, produced from the amino acid cysteine, is the body's primary defence against oxidative (free radical) damage within cells. Exposure to toxic chemicals stimulates the secretion of glutathione from the liver into the plasma. Once in the plasma, glutathione complexes (conjugates) with the toxins. The resultant conjugate is then converted to mercapturic acid, which can be excreted by the kidneys. Glutathione also deactivates hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides. Many individuals with chemical sensitivity are deficient in glutathione.
Glutathione is also needed for the production of prostaglandins and it is a coenzyme for the breakdown of insulin in the liver and kidney.
Glutathione can be taken as a dietary supplement, in which case its most effective chemical form is known as reduced glutathione. (Also see Detoxification.)

Portuguese Sweet Bread {No Knead}
I think I've been converted. As I told both my Brother and my Best Friend…we will never go hungry – Lyn knows how to make BREAD! Why is it that I did not take the plunge sooner? Every bread recipe that I see now, I take a second glance to see if its one that I can do. My husband has even started to request bread with specific ingredients. Well, 'scuse me Mister! When did I become the bread lady? Ok fine…*taking notes* He knows I'll try
I am a true lover of bread. Give me bread and butter and I'll be okay. I grew up in a bread household. If there was anything that we always had – it was bread. And for that, I'm thankful. I'm also thankful for the Kindle book that I got from Amazon with all these wonderful bread recipes. Its called Easy Fabulous Bread Making. A Collection of quick, no knead, homemade bread recipes. I feel that it has helped me jump right into bread making, giving me the confidence as a beginner to make fresh bread at home! I like the technique, so when I'm good with this, I can move on providing that my wrists can take the pressure. Bring on the BREAD!
Today I'm sharing a bread that we fell in love with. The texture, the flavour – it was lovely. I forgive myself for the really thick slice that I cut for a late night snack. Portuguese Sweet Bread – I heart you!
- 1 Cup Milk (I used 2%)
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1/3 Cup Sugar
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 3 Cups All Purpose Flour, Unbleached
- 1 Tsp Yeast (Active Dry)
- Proof your yeast
- In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar and eggs until combined.
- Add milk, then mix.
- Add activated yeast mixture. Mix to combine.
- Gradually combine flour and salt until fully incorporated
- Transfer to a large bowl and cover loosely with saran wrap
- Store in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours up to 5 days
- When ready to bake
- Preheat oven to 375
- Remove from fridge and place on a well floured surface. The dough will be sticky.
- With well floured hands, stretch ends underneath a few times to create a boule. Place the boule seam side down on a well oiled baking sheet. Cover for about 30 minutes.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes before cutting
This bread seemed easy enough to just mix by spoon. But it was a breeze using my standing mixer. This dough takes no time to come together.
The exterior is crusty but not hard. The bread itself – soft, chewy, slightly sweet and an absolute delight to the palate. Perfect with butter or cream cheese.
I love that I just popped a slice in the toaster and topped it with cheesy scrambled eggs. Breakfast has never been so satisfying. One centre slice goes a long way!
Funny how bacon seems to be making an appearance quite often these days…

Climate psychology in cartoons: clues for solving the messaging mystery
Case study: Ozone is not a football term
Illustration courtesy Ian Webster/CRED
There's a useful side study on how people frequently confuse the ozone problem (a big hole) and the greenhouse gas problem (a blanket):
Some Americans thus reason that this "hole" either allows more solar radiation into the biosphere—warming the planet—or, alternatively, allows heat to escape—cooling the planet.
Nope. These misconceptions need plainspoken correcting.
