Great recipe - thank you. I roasted a boneless turkey breast with olive oil, rosemary and thyme and added to the soup to 'boost' the turkey content since we didn't have any leftovers and the carcass was a bit slim on meat. My hubby and 3 yr old loved it. Will definitely make again.
This soup was awesome! Only thing I added was a little extra salt. My husband actually said "wow!" And started telling his friends how good it was! Will DEFINITELY make this again!

I made this soup using the carcass of a smoked turkey. It was great! I also accidently put in 1 tsp. of dried thyme rather than 1 pinch of dried thyme. My family loves it. I'm making it again today with 1 tsp of dried thyme. Why mess with success!? - Kay Schroden
I just finished making this soup and it turned out unbelievable. I will put this on my personal 5 star recipes that are 'tried and true' I made mine in the crock pot to get the best out of the carcass for 8 hours on low with the celery, onion, carrots and 2 chicken boullions. Drained the bones and let the broth rest in refrigerator overnight. Then I did the remainder of the recipe on the stove top over a low simmer for 1 hour and 20 minutes til barely was nice and tender. Hot french bread is a must with this tastey soup.
I tried this, but added some broccoli and turnip. This has to be the easiest and best tasting recipe I've tried yet! Thanks!
Making this for the second time, this time with a turkey I smoked a couple days ago. Last time we had it was great. The entire family loved it. It is simple but has plenty of flavor. Added a little garlic powder and poultry seasoning to my taste. Can't believe there only 6 ratings so far for this.
This was delicious! I did modify it a bit. I added parsnips to when making the stock. And when assembling the soup I went ahead and sautéed all the veggies (added parsnips here too, I love parsnips!) before adding them just to intensify the flavor. Then made a simple rue of 2tbs coconut oil 2tbs butter and a 1/4c flour. To thicken it and make it heartier and more stew like! Again it was AM-A-ZING!

Benefit Stay Don't Stray Reviews
Stay with Me Always, Benefit!Ah, decisions, decisions. What primer to use under my eye shadow? My ultimate favorite, Too Faced's "Shadow Insurance?" A close second, Urban Decay's "Primer Potion?" Or my old go-to product, Benefit's "Lemon-Aid," with its soft yellow which carefully disguises any redness? My options are growing, as I've now added Benefit's "Stay, Don't Stray" to my beauty staples. And it's moving up the la...read moredder to becoming my favorite. I first received this as a sample from Sephora. The sponge-tip applicator made things easy. The full container is a pump-type tube. It can be a bit messy, as too much product can be dispensed (I wish this had a sponge as well). But this one-shade-fits-all-nude blends easily and sheerly over eyelids and keeps eyeshadow locked tight through long days and nights, heat, humidity, and cold, biting winds which make you teary-eyed. What I really appreciate about "Stay, Don't Stray" is that is keeps concealer in place (I'm not a huge fan of placing powder under eyes, as it can draw attention to even the most miniscule lines and creases). I dot a bit under eyes and blend gently but thoroughly, following with whatever concealer I wear at the time (my current favorites tend to be YSL's "Touche Eclat" and Dior's "Diorskin Nude Skin Perfect Hydrating Concealer"). Red patches, uneven skintone, or an occasional blemish? Thank you, Benefit, for creating a product to make sure these annoying occurrences don't seem like neon lights flashing your imperfections to the world for all to see! You see, this multi-tasker can be used as a CONCEALER ITSELF! How great is that? There's even more beauty to this item than meets the eye. It does not contain harmful parabens, fights the signs of aging with Vitamins C and E, and hydrates with Sodium Hyaluronate. I love to know that a product is not only enhancing my skin, but treating and improving it at the same time. I would give this ten stars, except for my disappointment with the pump. Other than that, it makes me very, very happy! — 1 year, 7 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

It Works!Stupidly, I bought this because I thought it was a product to keep your eyebrows in place. Than, I read the instructions, and discovered (very pleasantly) that I can use it under my eyes, under concealer, so the concealer does not slip into lines or moves around after a few hours. I don't use it on my lids because it deposits too much color, making my eyeshadows that are vibrant, look pastel. N...read moreot a good look.

Too darkI can't even comment on how well this works, because I had to take it off almost as soon as I had put it on. I was skeptical when it came out of the bottle, because it looked really dark. I know it's supposed to work for any skin tone, but I'm pretty fair skinned and this just wasn't going to work for me. I passed it along to a friend with a more medium skin tone and she loves it. — 2 years, 6 months agotallredamanda | 324 reviews

Great Primer that can be a concealer tooThis is a great primer for any eye makeup. Your eye makeup will truly stay. It's a good basic neutral color that doesn't change the color of the eye shadow/liner you wear. It improves and evens out the whole eyelid as well as inner and outer corners of the eye. Perfect for use with cream eye shadows as well as powder shadows, liquid liners and concealers. If the darkness around your eyes is minima...read morel this product can double as a concealer.

EsPoir is a short platformer in which you will be chased in the darkness by a strange, hellish creature.
Will you ever find a way out ?
How to Play :
- Use the arrow keys to move
- Use the up arrow/ctrl/space to jump
- You will die if you ever get hit by the creature or fall on spikes, and it means you have to restart the current level.
- The game was made in a short time for a contest, and thus, it is very short. There are only 3 levels which can be beaten in less than a minute each, but it will most likely take a casual gamer 10 minutes to complete.
- There are two possible endings ; to get the hidden one, try playing the last level differently...
Have fun and spread the game ! :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars September 17, 2012
I love the idea of this game and the art and style and all of that. keep up the great work!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars September 17, 2012
It was a pretty decent game.
Like most though, the lag cost me my life more times than actually getting caught by the monster or the spikes combined.
It was really frustrating, which is a good thing. No point in playing a game that makes you feel nothing at all.
Anyways, I'll give a 3.5
I would have given a 4/4.5, if not for the lag. :L
Rated 0 / 5 stars September 16, 2012
Good concept. I cant see anything. the game is so damn small...
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars September 15, 2012
For a game with only a few levels, I really enjoy it. Getting the second ending kept me occupied for a while. I do wish the hidden ending would have had more to it though...
For those who don't know how to get the second ending: on the level where you have to pick up two keys (the third level I think), when you get to the gold key next to the silver door, don't open the door; turn around instead. Unless you're a pro at platformer games (unlike me), you're going to spend quite a bit of time getting the second ending.
Rated 3 / 5 stars September 15, 2012
Not a terrible game by any means, but a short one. Which means because of the way it plays, thru remembering where and how to advance, the game becomes a chore of repetitivness quickly. I liked hat there were different ways the levels played out and how you use the gamer instinct of "i see it, so I must grab it" mentality, which has to do with the endings. I wish this were longer, with larger levels to try to get past. I can only reccomend this game for the points you can earn for your profile on Newgrounds. Sorry.

The 1996 vintage of this wine was ranked #7 on the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 1997
Pale straw green in color and enticingly fragrant, the 2011 Sauvignon Blanc offers lifted aromas of ripe stonefruit and juicy citrus with underlying notes of blackcurrant leaf and tomato plant spice.
The palate is fine yet succulent, with zesty citrus flavours and fresh acidity. There is an appealing plushness about this wine especially as it leads into a lingering and characteristically crisp finish.
"Focused and pure, offering a tangy expression of balanced lemon, white peach, tangerine, passion fruit, melon and
green tea notes. This is powerful in its persistence and juiciness, yet maintains an air of elegance. Drink now. 30,000
cases imported."
91 Points
Wine Spectator
"The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc offers intense notes of gooseberries, passion fruit, grapefruit zest and grass with a hint of fresh herbs. Crisp, dry and medium bodied with a good concentration of grapefruit and herb flavors, it gives a long tropical fruit laced finish. Delicious now, it should remain fresh through 2013."
90 Points
The Wine Advocate
"This Marlborough classic remains on form, artfully blending pineapple and crushed tomato leaf notes. If it's a bit leaner than some examples from the region, it's also more elegant and refined; less explosive and flamboyant, but tighter and more focused."
90 Points
Wine Enthusiast
"Green-tinged yellow. Good dusty, spicy lift to the ripe, inviting aromas of orange pith, grapefruit and minerals. Broad, supple and ripe, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the sexy soft citrus, tropical fruit and dusty herb flavors. Easygoing for this bottling, conveying very good but not outstanding grip. Finishes pure and persistent, with a slight narrowing at the end."

I tightened my hold around his neck, running my hands through his blond hair with my shaky fingers, I lifted my mouth to meet his, kissing him frantically. His tongue was moving over my lips and in my mouth and I could taste the sweetness of him. "Carlisle," I gasped. He buried his face in my neck, scattering urgent kisses as my hands moved down his back.

"Gouged"? If oil is $100/barrel and there are 42 gallons of liquid in an barrel, then the rough cost for a gallon of oil is over $2.30. Add in distilling costs, distribution, wholesale and retail costs PLUS a ton of federal, state, county and/or city taxes then getting it for roughly $3.50/gallon is a bargain. I wish half the taxes were removed and Obammie would remove his hard-headed, wacko ideas about fossil fuels. Then and only then could we get back to $2.00/gallon pricing.

Canon EF Zoom Lenses / Re: Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS USM« on: May 09, 2013, 01:40:32 AM »
So... is $1,087.32 for this lens from the Canon refurb store as good a deal as it feels like? It's slightly lower even than some completed Ebay listings for used copies. Oh well, I already ordered. I was almost totally prepared to spring for the new price anyway, so any savings are good savings. You can all feel responsible for your great shots convincing me to get yet another lens...
It's pretty hard to beat that price. They rarely get that low used (around $1200 is more typical), and this way you get some kind of warranty. Beyond that, there aren't many on the used market. I don't think it has been a volume seller and most of us that have one hang on to them!
I looked at this too, I was a little leery because the 70-300L is one of the few that doesn't reference a 90 day warranty like a number of other lenses do. Saving 300 bucks is pretty nice though.

Two of my daughter's friends got their periods, and she's worried because she hasn't gotten hers yet. What can I do to reassure her?- Emmeline
You can start by telling her that every girl's body has its own schedule. There's no way to know exactly when she'll get her first period, but it usually occurs about 2 to 2½ years after starting puberty. Some girls get their period by age 9, but others don't get their period until they're 15.
Puberty progresses at different rates in different people. Reassure your daughter that it's perfectly normal to get her period a little earlier or a little later than her friends. And remind her that she can always talk to you or her doctor if she has any questions about the changes she's going through.

Why is it insane? All schools should have armed security guards. And for future reference: When you begin your sentences with an accusatory "You", you immediately turn off and alienate readers. Makes them not want to read you. Try thinking of a way to have a discussion that doesn't involve attacking others.

A day .r.f the f - I lite of . ' V a CNA See page 4 Weber State University : oW H Committee give More than $6 million given to groups By J) Trussell sr. news reporter I The Signpost After a month of hearing requests from 25 WSU programs, the Student Fee Recommendation Committee has made its decisions. Friday, the student majority committee met for the final time to deliberate the allocation of $6.7 million from this year's student fees. The counseling center and the heath center seemed to be the big winners. During the four-hour meeting committee members debated where funds were to be sent, but most of the money was not in their hands. The committee was responsible for the requested increase from last year's allocation, which amounted to only $143,000. But with stiff competition from many different organizations, English professor teaches veterans WWII vet writes war experience for family 6 Jit IV, Students climb the rock wall at the State University. The gym hosted a "a ' -A V- : lib . 'f:' ';H; s - if A 1 " ! fc- i .i. .n i i ii L tik - .- , every dollar was important. This year's committee wanted to emphasize their support of student's physical and mental health as they approved funds for the wages of both the part-time psychiatrist in the counseling center and the part-time pharmacist in the health center. Each program received nearly all its requested increase, making the two programs the most successful. The computer labs, which had requested nearly $47,000, received only $27,000.

The $15,000 bonus, coupled with the committee's decision to postpone the purchase of new printers for another year, explains the nearly $20,000 cut from the labs. 1 Athletics was a huge issue for the committee this year. After nearly 30 minutes of debate on the issue, and a revision later in the meeting, athletics was given $6,700 for transportation, almost 50 percent of the increase they requested. Although most of the increase was to alleviate increased transportation costs, By Ryan Larsen correspondent I The Signpost Veteran John Henry Kejly flew 33 missions over Germany in a B-17 during World War II. He had plenty of journal-worthy experiences but, like many veterans, he did not talk about his war experiences with his family. Last year Kelly started attending i'ting workshops especially for veu-, , His" daughter, Weber v Beowulf resurrected at honors forum Student interprets ancient text By Devin Masters correspondent I The Signpost An audience of more than 40 people gathered at the Weber State University Honors Issues Forum on Thursday to watch a readers theater performance of "Beowulf." The performance was part of the Weber Reads program, which aims to connect members of the community by having multiple events focusing on one book. Clayton Gerrard, a WSU senior majoring in English, wrote die script for the reader's theater. "I've never done so much research in my life," Gerrard said. "I must have read seven different transladons, including a prose translation and a graphic novel." According to Yulia Goff, a junior also majoring in English, Gerrard's adaptation of the original story was successful. "The readers tiieater made die somewhat-mtimidating classic approachable widiout dumbing it down," Goff said. "I was impressed with how balanced die play was, both in terms of writing and performance." Jeremiah Davies, a senior majoring in technical sales, said he was looking forward to Gerrard's take on the story. SI committee members had a tough time allocating money to medical costs and equipment. "You can do without maybe one extra jersey," said Professor Erika Daines, who represents the faculty on the committee. Daines stressed that while equipment and medical 'costs for the teams may be going up, there were other important factors to be taken into . account. The committee seemed to agree with Daines, since athletics sees the majority of student-fee money every year about $1.5 million this year they could limit their increase. Campus recreation seemed to be a concern for the committee. Placing it at the bottom of the agenda, the committee was left with about $17,000 when they arrived at the program, which had a total requested increase of more than $86,000. Deciding to give it fair treatment, the committee State University English Professor Shannon Buder, always went with 'um to the sessions. "I think writing it all down allowed him to talk about it more," she said. "It was a great opportunity for him." ; Butler said she felt the peer interaction was very motivating r,:or her father. Veterans seem to feel more at ease" talking about their experiences with others who had similar ones, she said. "Each others' stories spark memories of their own story,"; Butler said. "It was very therapeutic for him and gave him a voice." Kelly started writing his war experiences down as a family project a50-page book complete with photos was the result. "I think for anyone with a loved ('re or family member that has had a v.'L-tr experience that needs to be shared should find a way to come," Butlers said. Kelly died in October from kidney failure at the age of 85 . Now, his family has a lasting memory. "' WSU English Professor Gary Dohrer started a veterans writing workshop nearly two years ago after speaking with a colleague v ' ) worked with veterans at uie Hill Air Force Base Museum. The colleague had told Dohrer "I know Clayton, so I knew it would be a funnier version of die real thing," he said. Davies also said he thought the performance was well done. Both Davies and Goff commented on die sound effects 1 that accompanied the actors. Goff stated that although she would enjoy eventually seeing a full production of "Beowulf," die sound effects added a nice touch to die performance. "The fact tiiat the play held our attention without 'the production' once again speaks for its quality," she said. WSU senior Chris Bentiey, a psychology major and an actor in "Beowulf," said the aspects of a full-production may actually distract from what die story is about. "I truly feel tiiat it's die language of this epic poem which makes it such a legendary story," he said. Bendey praised Gerrard for his work on the script for the performance. "Clayton did a masterful job of making the language accessible to a modem 21st century audience while still holding on to the feeling of antiquity," he said. Gerrard said he was pleased with the results of die performance, but credited the actors for its success. QTDOO ew funded the program as they would if it were first on the agenda, which put them in the red. After minor cuts from nearly half of the programs, campus recreation was given an increase of $30,800, $20,000 of which was designated for club sports. The amount, although more than some committee members wanted to allow, was disappointing to Campus Recreation Director John Knight. "There was probably a lot of discussion relating to clubs, and it's been a number of years and they haven't received any increases," Knight said. "Yet the cost of travel expenses continue to climb, so it's tough." Knight said club sport participants will have to continue to pay their way to many competitions. Some organizations that rely See SFRC page 5 interesting stories of veterans and thought there should be a service to help them record their experiences. Dohrer said he has been happy to provide his services. He said he enjoys the work and giving back to veterans is a kind of "thank you" to them. The workshop is free and is held for eight weeks each semester at the Weber County Library" Southwest Branch from 5-6:30 p.m. Nine veterans from the WWII era up to the Iraq conflict showed up to the first workshop Feb. 4, the first session for this semester. Dohrer assists Veterans with writing technique and provides feedback and support. : "We show them how to take all their information, and make it more than information, time, dates, etc.," Dohrer said, "but a human experience." Doher said one of the benefits is to have different generations of veterans talk to each other. "The goal is to have supportive and encouraging place to develop the writing that they want to do," Dohrer said. "We want to provide an inviting, not coercive, environment." , Comment on this story at wsusignpost.com. "I'm just die writer," he said, "the actors made it come alive. My fellow actors went above and beyond what I had initially envisioned." He also praised them for creating a heartwarming world in the performance. He expressed his gratitude to the audience. "I couldn't have hoped for a better turnout," he said. "People laughed, and I believe they really appreciated it." Bendey agreed. "I was also pleasantiy surprised to see die number of audience members, especially students, who were in attendance today," Bendey said. Bendey also said the size of the crowd helped him put more energy behind his lines and his performance. "I felt like today's performance was by far die best mn-tiirough we've ever had," he said. Goff said she diought the actors were the best part of the readers theater. "There were some very genuine performances," she said. She also said students should look into the performing arts on campus. "We have a lot of talent here at Weber,"shesaid."Go seeforyourself!"

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Bribery is Just Standard Operating Procedure
Greg is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In the wake of last week's SEC press release announcing a $12.4 million settlement with Allianz (FRA: ALV) for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, it's hard to ignore the implication that bribery and corruption in big business have become standard operating procedures. In the past six months alone, five major international corporations have settled lawsuits filed by the SEC for similar offenses involving secret payoffs to government officials, fraudulent payments to nonexistent companies, and kickbacks to influential people in exchange for big money contracts.
In July, Orthofix (NASDAQ: OFIX), a Texas-based international bio-medical corporation that focuses on spinal implant products and other regenerative orthopedic products, settled a lawsuit that accused them of bribing Mexican officials in exchange for contracts with government hospitals. The illegal pocket-lining lasted for more than seven years, from 2003 to 2010. Orthofix agreed to pay fines in excess of $5.2 million to squash the lawsuit.
In August, two more lawsuits were settled within a week of each other. Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) agreed to pay $2 million to stop charges that they knowingly hid profits and used some of the money to bribe Indian officials. The rest of the secret funds allegedly were funneled through shell corporations and phony vendors in a massive multi-million dollar embezzlement scheme that lasted from 2005 to 2007.
Similar charges were filed and subsequently settled in a case against Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) that alleged the company knowingly violated FCPA regulations for a period of 11 years by bribing officials in eight countries across Europe and Asia. Payoffs were concealed and listed as legitimate business expenses like marketing, advertising and training, when in fact the money was actually allegedly handed over to foreign officials who pushed through drug approvals and government doctors who prescribed excessive amounts of Pfizer products. The company agreed to pay $45 million to settle the case.
In September, Tyco International (NYSE: TYC) settled a lawsuit with the SEC that alleged the company bribed officials throughout Asia and the Middle East in an effort to obtain and retain high-paying government contracts. These FCPA violations continued from 1999 to 2009, and involved more than 50 foreign countries. Secret payments and illegal deals were made with government officials and improperly listed as legitimate expenses or commissions in an effort to cover up the misconduct. Tyco settled for $26.8 million.
The pattern is all too clear – line the pockets of influential officials in exchange for government contracts, disguise the payments as legitimate business expenses, and make as much money as possible until the authorities catch on. There's really no apparent fear of the law or of the consequences either. These corporations rake in millions of dollars, sometimes tens of millions, over the course of many years as a result of successful illegal business practices. What actually happens when they get caught? Another payoff! Although structured as a fine for violating international regulations, offending companies simply make a deal with the U.S. government and continue doing business as usual.
Clearly there is an advantage to bribing people of power in foreign countries, and multi-national corporations have likely already accounted for bribes and secret payouts, as well as the potential fines and settlements for getting caught.

text: content LE Magazine July 2007 Henry Emmons, MDCombating Depression with the "Chemistry of Joy" By Kyle Roderick Today, the overwhelming majority of people with depression are treated using prescription antidepressants like Paxil® and Effexor®. Dr. Henry Emmons has distinguished himself from his colleagues by pioneering an innovative regimen for treating depression, one that incorporates nutritional supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids along with dietary modifications, regular exercise, and "mindfulness meditation" and similar stress-reduction techniques. In his recent book, The Chemistry of Joy: A Three-Step Program for Overcoming Depression Through Western Science and Eastern Wisdom (Fireside, 2005), Dr. Emmons, a Minnesota-based psychiatrist, details how people can master their moods and correct brain-chemistry imbalances with the help of holistic health strategies that combine the best of Eastern and Western disciplines. The book includes tips on implementing dietary changes to optimize levels of brain neuro-transmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Depression Rates Keep Rising "I believe that our ultimate goal is to live every moment fully and peacefully in the present," says Dr. Emmons. As such, he is committed to helping lower depression rates in the US. "There is strong epidemiological data showing a 10% increase in rates of depression in the US population every decade for the last 100 years," he notes. "This is not just a reflection of better detection of depression, or people's greater willingness to seek help for it. It represents an actual increase in the rate of depression. The National Institute for Mental Health says that over 20 million American adults have a mood disorder in any given year, and this is mostly depression in one form or another." While public figures such as former First Lady Barbara Bush, musicians Sting and Sheryl Crow, and actress Lorraine Bracco (who plays psychiatrist Jennifer Melfi on television's "The Sopranos") have gone public about their treatment for depression, millions of Americans suffering depression continue to go untreated. Dr. Emmons advises people with moderate or severe depression to "seek professional help and not try to deal with it themselves. There are different ways to define 'moderate or severe,' but when it is affecting one's ability to function in any key role—job, spouse, parent, friend—then it is at least moderate in severity. The quicker people get help, the better it is for them in the long run." Observing that most Americans are sleep deprived, sedentary, poorly nourished, or all three, Dr. Emmons maintains that "just a few good nights of sleep can sometimes turn around a mild depression.Studies show that aerobic exercise can help even moderately severe depression within two to four weeks, and that good nutrition coupled with a few choice supplements can help within two to three months."He adds that "high-quality psychotherapy can change brain chemistry for the better, and sometimes it takes only a few sessions if the symptoms are mild or stress related." Medications typically start to work within two to three weeks, but antidepressants do not help everyone. According to Dr. Emmons, the good news is that for those with milder symptoms who wish to avoid medications, "improvements can be felt nearly as quickly with a combination of diet, supplements, exercise, and stress management." He cautions, however, that "if the depression is mild but rooted in unhealthy relationships or psychological issues, it can be much more efficient and effective to seek out a skilled psychotherapist." Omega-3 Fatty Acids Battle Depression Expounding on the link between diet and depression, Dr. Emmons notes that a common problem underlying many cases of depression is a dietary shortfall of essential fatty acids. Even in people who eat low-fat, apparently healthy diets, there is often a relative deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids, the kind found in fish, flax, and some nuts. Researchers have found that most Americans in 1900 ate a diet supplying a fairly even ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids; today, however, that ratio is about 1:20. "This is vitally important to maintaining good moods," Dr. Emmons explains, "because omega-3s have a role in reducing inflammation, and are also integrated into brain cell membranes, helping them to function properly." In countries like Japan and Norway where people regularly consume fish, rates of depression are much lower than in the US. This has led many researchers to try using fish oil supplements in the treatment of mood disorders, and the results have been impressive. "While it may not replace the need for other forms of treatment," Dr. Emmons says, "fish oil helps to reduce the recurrence, or relapse, of both depression and bipolar (manic-depressive) illness." Dr. Emmons notes that a recent symposium sponsored by the National Institutes of Mental Health was devoted entirely to the therapeutic use of fats in mental illness. Several presenters reported the beneficial effects of essential fatty acid supplementation on depression, bipolar illness, and schizophrenia. Adding essential fatty acids to the diets of research subjects has been associated with improvements in dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as with improved intelligence measures in infants and in adults with Alzheimer's disease. Regarding the connection between chronic inflammation and depression, Dr. Emmons believes that healthy fats can positively affect mood. "Certain inflammatory substances—eicosanoids and cytokines—are elevated in major depression," he explains. "These elements promote low-level inflammation, which may affect brain tissue as well as other parts of the body. Antidepressants suppress this harmful activity, but so can increased levels of omega-3s, and probably more efficiently. Interestingly, people who consume more omega-3s seem to have higher levels of serotonin and dopamine byproducts in their spinal fluid, suggesting that their brain levels of these vital neurochemicals are also higher." Most people who eat a reasonably healthy diet do not need to supplement with omega-6 fats. However, since so few Americans ingest adequate amounts of omega-3s, Dr. Emmons suggests that most people supplement with 1-2 grams daily of omega-3s. For most fish oil products, that would be 2-4 large capsules daily, and for flax, about 1 tablespoon of the oil or 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds. Vitamin/Mineral Deficit May Fuel Depression A great deal of research suggests that certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies play a role in the onset of depression. A survey of European studies found that B vitamins were low in 35-50% of patients hospitalized for depression. This is especially significant because multivitamin/mineral supplements have been shown to reduce violent or oppositional behavior. Another important component of Dr. Emmons' approach to resolving depression involves the use of mindfulness-based exercise and stress-reduction techniques, which integrate Buddhist principles with medical science. A perfect example of mindfulness-based exercise and stress reduction is walking meditation. "Try to do this meditation without focusing on a goal," Dr. Emmons advises. "Try walking just for the sake of being aware of walking, and not for exercise, seeing the sights, or getting somewhere." As with any meditation, your mind will occasionally wander. "As soon as you notice this loss of focus," Dr. Emmons says, "just bring your awareness back to the present moment and to your experience of walking. Practice walking meditation in the morning before going to work, during your lunch hour, or at the end of the day." According to Emmons, other mindfulness-based stress-reduction strategies include such easy, enjoyable, and inexpensive behaviors as being generous with your time, attention, or emotions. "Giving and receiving are one and the same," he says. "Whatever you do for others, you also do for yourself. The best way to feel rich and full is to make a heartfelt gift to someone else." Henry Emmons, MD, is a faculty member at the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota, and author of The Chemistry of Joy: A Three-Step Program for Overcoming Depression Through Western Science and Eastern Wisdom (Fireside, 2005). Dr. Emmons' Supplement Program for Preventing Depression While Dr. Emmons advocates consuming various supplements to help prevent and manage depression, he cautions against discontinuing the use of antidepressants, or even lowering their dosage, without the supervision of an experienced primary-care doctor or psychiatrist.For preventing depression, Dr. Emmons suggests taking a multivitamin that provides adequate doses of the B vitamins folic acid, B6, and B12, along with antioxidants like natural carotenoids, vitamins C and E, and selenium. In his book The Chemistry of Joy, Dr. Emmons goes on to recommend fish oil supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids be added to your diet in the amount of 1000 to 3000 mg a day. If you have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, you can take up to 9000-10,000 mg per day of fish oil. If you are a vegetarian or do not wish to take fish oil, you can substitute flaxseed oil. Fish oil is preferred, if you can manage it.Additionally, you may wish to try S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe): For a starting dose, take 200 mg twice daily, preferably 30 minutes before meals or two hours after eating. The dose may be increased slowly, up to 800 mg twice a day, if tolerated. A response is usually evident within 15 days. SAMe should not be used by patients with bipolar disorder.

Issues Revisited (2007 Draft)
This is Alexei Cherepanov, the highly rated Russian player who ISS ranked 4th best for the 2007 draft. He fell all the way to New York Rangers (17th) and howls could be heard from fans of the other 29 NHL teams.
The Russian who reminds some of Alexei Kovalev (style-wise) fell for two reasons: he was only average at the U18′s in Finland and there is no agreement between the NHL and the Russian Federation in regard to transfer agreements.
Russian players are "unsafe", and many teams (certainly those picking above New York) decided to use their first round selections on players who have fewer options. With the news this weekend of a special "Super League" in the frozen Tundra that is Russia (and friends) there may be no "safe pick" for NHL teams beginning this fall.
However, that aside, how ARE these kids doing this winter? And how does this affect the opinions of fans who were so upset this summer?
Here are a few issues and the early results:
- Selecting Gagner over Voracek (EDM). This was a pretty big deal for many and I don't know that it is going to be resolved any time soon. Gagner made the Oilers this fall and appears to be taking a step forward lately (he's 33gp, 3-13-16, -7 overall and 1-5-6, +3 in his last 8gp), but Voracek is destroying the QMJHL (25gp, 16-34-50, +12) and currently 6th in total points. His Q points-per-game total has improved year over year from 1.45 to 2.00 and I still haven't read anything bad about the kid. This may be one of those times when there wasn't a bad choice. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with Gagner.
- Selecting Thomas Hickey 4th overall (LA). ISS rated Hickey 17th overall and compared him to Brian Rafalski as a player. The 2007 draft had a bunch of offensive defenders from the dub whose defensive coverage ranged from outstanding (Alzner) to just very good (Hickey, Ellerby), but the Kings tagged Hickey because they "saw him good." He's playing well for Seattle in the WHL but he doesn't yet have clearance from Alzner (who was rated #6 by ISS and went 5th overall).
- Selecting Plante ahead of Cherepanov (EDM). Plante has been hurt for all but 8 games this season (1-1-2) and has not had a chance to show much this season. His injury cost him a chance at Team Canada for the WJC's and in a very important development year he's lost some time. Cherepanov is healthy and playing in the RSL, although his scoring level is off slightly from last season. Signability remains the issue and it should be noted that the "Rangers will sign him, bring him to camp and he'll make the team this fall" panic in the streets was a slight overstatement.
- Passing over Esposito twice (EDM). Few mention this as an issue at this point in time, as Esposito is scoring at about the same level as last season (he should be taking a step forward) and he was passed over again for the WJC's. Jury is still out on this being a mistake but early returns suggest he was not the BPA at #6 and #15.
- Trading picks at #30 and #36 to trade up for Riley Nash (EDM). Phoenix took Nick Ross (defenseman for the Pats) and Goalie Joel Gistedt with the picks. Nash has played well in the NCAA and would have to be considered "on target" at this point, but the Oilers moved up 9 slots to get him and left David Perron on the table. I considered it a "miss" on draft day and still do despite the promising results for Nash.
For the Oilers, I'd say the Gagner pick looks shrewd, the Plante pick has delayed results due to injury but the outlook is somewhat better due to performance by the Russian and the continued lack of a transfer deal, and the Nash pick has worked out better than expected on first blush.
So far, pretty good. For a fan like me who can remember the dark days of the 1990s, having one of the three in the NHL and another playing well in college smells like napalm in the morning.

Party Girl, 1995
This was the movie that broke Parker Posey (eee, I love you Parker Posey!) into the big-name acting biz. I knew that this was an "art house" film and thus expected it to be a lot .. deeper? darker? than it actually is. Instead, Party Girl is a sweet, funny, light-hearted movie about a young woman who tries to figure out what she is going to do with her life.
Party Girl is full of proto-hipsters and over the top fashion and youthful angst. It's also cute, thoughtful, and makes you feel good when it's all over. Highly recommended!

Like many American cities, central Tokyo has transformed into a major running metropolitan with a lot of nudging from the annual Tokyo Marathon.
There is practically a runners' traffic jam on the 3-mile loop—part of the marathon course— around the Emperor's Palace.
Anyone who's been to Japan will attest to Tokyo's fashion scene. Tokyoites' love of fashion doesn't stop after work. A few minutes of watching Japanese runners tells you that Japan takes its running gear seriously. Japanese runners outfit a lot more patterns and color combinations than what we're used to seeing in America.
Many Japanese women wear the running skirt, known by a nickname "ransuka," or a running dress ("randore"), over full or knee-length running tights. Men often sport tights under knee-length shorts.
But the cute patterns and modesty aren't just for vanity's sake. Japanese fitness fashion attests to the culture's knack of pragmatism. Unlike many of us who are familiar with stripping down to the bare minimum at the slightest hint of humidity, Japanese runners know that extra fabrics can in fact protect and cool them under the summer sun. The wicking material wards off dripping sweat, and light colors, hats, and long sleeve shirts protect the skin from harsh UV-rays.
Every culture is slightly different. Have you seen a different fitness scene? Share your story on our facebook page!
