Overview Information
Selenium is a mineral. It is taken into the body in water and foods. People use it for medicine.
Most of the selenium in the body comes from the diet. The amount of selenium in food depends on where it is grown or raised. Crab, liver, fish, poultry, and wheat are generally good selenium sources. The amount of selenium in soils varies a lot around the world, which means that the foods grown in these soils also have differing selenium levels. In the U.S., the Eastern Coastal Plain and the Pacific Northwest have the lowest selenium levels. People in these regions naturally take in about 60 to 90 mcg of selenium per day from their diet. Although this amount of selenium is adequate, it is below the average daily intake in the U.S., which is 125 mcg.
Selenium is used for diseases of the heart and blood vessels, including stroke and "hardening of the arteries" (atherosclerosis). It is also used for preventing various cancers including cancer of the prostate, stomach, lung, and skin.
Some people use selenium for under-active thyroid, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an eye disease called macular degeneration, hay fever, infertility, cataracts, gray hair, abnormal pap smears, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), mood disorders, arsenic poisoning, and preventing miscarriage.
Selenium is also used for preventing serious complications and death from critical illnesses such as head injury and burns. It is also used for preventing bird flu, treating HIV/AIDS, and reducing side effects from cancer chemotherapy.
How does it work?
Selenium is important for making many body processes work correctly. It seems to increase the action of antioxidants.
Uses & Effectiveness
Likely Effective for:
- Preventing lower than normal levels of selenium (selenium deficiency).
Possibly Effective for:
- Autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Taking selenium 200 mcg daily along with thyroid hormone might decrease antibodies in the body that contribute to this condition. Selenium might also help improve mood and general feelings of well-being in people with thyroiditis.
- High cholesterol. Some research shows that taking a specific selenium supplement (SelenoPrecise, Pharma Nord, Denmark) 100-200 mcg daily for 6 months can modestly reduce cholesterol levels. Many people in this study had low levels of selenium in their body before the start of the study. It is not clear if taking extra selenium would have any benefit on cholesterol levels in people with normal selenium levels in the body.
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Preventing cancer. Clinical research shows that taking a combination of selenium 100 mcg along with zinc 20 mg, vitamin C 120 mg, vitamin E 30 mg, and beta-carotene 6 mg/day once daily for 7.5 years does not lower the overall chance of developing cancer of any type.
- Skin cancer. Taking 200 mcg of selenium does not seem to reduce the risk of getting a particular type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma. In fact, some scientific evidence suggests that taking extra selenium might actually increase the risk of getting another type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma.
- Lung cancer. Increasing selenium intake doesn't seem to lower the risk of getting lung cancer, except in people who have lower than normal levels of selenium (selenium deficiency). Even in this group, the risk reduction is small.
- Heart disease. Some research shows that people with heart disease who take selenium 100 mcg daily in combination with beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E do not seem to have a lower chance of having heart disease worsening or heart attacks.
- Diabetes. Some research has shown that people with low selenium levels in the body have a higher chance of getting type 2 diabetes. But other research shows that people who have high amounts of selenium in the body also have increased chance of getting type 2 diabetes. Additionally, more reliable research shows that people who take a selenium supplement 200 mcg daily for an average of 7.7 years actually have a significantly increased chance of getting type 2 diabetes.
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- Critical illness (burns, head injury, etc).
Likely Ineffective for:
- Prostate cancer. There has been a lot of interest in studying whether taking selenium lowers the chance of getting prostate cancer. The interest was triggered by the observation that prostate cancer seems to be less common in men with higher selenium levels in their bodies. To date, there have been several large, long-term scientific studies. The majority of this evidence suggests that selenium does not reduce the chance of getting prostate cancer.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- HIV/AIDS. There is contradictory evidence about the effect of selenium supplements on HIV.
- Arthritis (osteoarthritis). Low selenium levels seem to be linked with an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis. But it's not known whether selenium supplements can prevent osteoarthritis.
- Colorectal cancer. Evidence is conflicting about the effect of selenium on colorectal cancer.
- Esophageal cancer. Taking selenium supplements does not seem to significantly decrease the risk of esophageal cancer.
- Stomach cancer. Taking selenium in combination with vitamin C and vitamin E long-term (for about 7 years) does not seem to reduce the risk of developing precancerous stomach sores.
- Hypothyroidism.
- Atherosclerosis.
- Macular degeneration (eye disease).
- Hay fever.
- Gray hair.
- Mood disorders.
- Chemotherapy side effects.
- Swelling after surgery.
- Abnormal pap smears.
- Infertility.
- Cataracts.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
- Bird flu.
- Preventing miscarriage.
- Overall cancer risk.
- Other conditions.
Side Effects & Safety
Selenium is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth in doses less than 400 mcg per day, short-term.
Higher doses are POSSIBLY UNSAFE. They can cause significant side effects including nausea, vomiting, nail changes, loss of energy, and irritability. Poisoning from long-term use is similar to arsenic poisoning, with symptoms including hair loss, white horizontal streaking on fingernails, nail inflammation, fatigue, irritability, nausea, vomiting, garlic breath odor, and a metallic taste.
Selenium can also cause muscle tenderness, tremor, lightheadedness, facial flushing, blood clotting problems, liver and kidney problems, and other side effects.
There is concern that taking selenium for a long time might not be safe. Long-term consumption of selenium supplements appears to increase the chance of getting type 2 diabetes. It also seems to increase the risk of skin cancer recurrence. There is also some concern that having too much selenium in the body might increase the risk of overall death as well as death from cancer.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Selenium use is POSSIBLY SAFE during pregnancy and breast-feeding when used short-term in amounts that are not larger than 400 mcg per day.
Fertility problems in men: Selenium might decrease the ability of sperm to move, which could reduce fertility. If you are trying to father a child, don't take selenium supplements.
Prostate cancer: There is concern that taking large amounts of a multivitamin plus a separate selenium supplement might increase the chance of developing prostate cancer and dying from prostate cancer.
A history of skin cancer: Long-term use of selenium supplements might slightly increase the risk of skin cancer recurrence, but this is controversial. Until more is known about the possible increase in skin cancer risk, avoid long-term use of selenium supplements if you have ever had skin cancer.
Under-active thyroid (hypothyroidism): Taking selenium can worsen hypothyroidism especially in people with iodine deficiency. In this case, you should take iodine along with selenium. Check with your healthcare provider.
Surgery: Selenium might increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery. Stop taking selenium at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interacts with SELENIUM
Selenium might slow blood clotting. Taking selenium along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.
Some medications that slow blood clotting include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
- Medications used for lowering cholesterol (Statins) interacts with SELENIUM
Taking selenium, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E together might decrease the effectiveness of some medications used for lowering cholesterol. It is not known if selenium alone decreases the effectiveness of some medications used for lowering cholesterol.
Some medications used for lowering cholesterol include atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol), lovastatin (Mevacor), and pravastatin (Pravachol).
- Niacin interacts with SELENIUM
Taking selenium along with vitamin E, vitamin C, and beta-carotene might decrease some of the beneficial effects of niacin. Niacin can increase the good cholesterol. Taking selenium along with these other vitamins might decrease the how well niacin works for increasing good cholesterol.
- Sedative medications (Barbiturates) interacts with SELENIUM
The body breaks down medications to get rid f them. Selenium might slow how fast the body breaks down sedative medications (Barbiturates). Taking selenium with these medications might increase the effects and side effects of these medications.
- Warfarin (Coumadin) interacts with SELENIUM
Selenium might thin the blood. Selenium might also increase the effects of warfarin in the body. Taking selenium along with warfarin might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.
Minor Interaction Be watchful with this combination
- Birth control pills (Contraceptive drugs) interacts with SELENIUM
Some research shows that women who take birth control pills might have increased blood levels of selenium. But other research shows no change in selenium levels in women who take birth control pills. There isn't enough information to know if there is an important interaction between birth control pills and selenium.
Some birth control pills include ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel (Triphasil), ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone (Ortho-Novum 1/35, Ortho-Novum 7/7/7), and others.
- Gold salts interacts with SELENIUM
Gold salts bind to selenium and decrease selenium in parts of the body. This might decrease the normal activity of selenium, possibly resulting in symptoms of selenium deficiency.
Gold salts include aurothioglucose (Solganal), gold sodium thiomalate (Aurolate), and auranofin (Ridaura).
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
- Autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis): 200 mcg daily.
- High cholesterol: 100-200 mcg daily of a specific selenium product (SelenoPrecise, Pharma Nord, Denmark).
- Children 1-3 years, 20 mcg; children 4-8 years, 30 mcg; children 9-13 years, 40 mcg;
- People over 13 years, 55 mcg;
- Pregnant women, 60 mcg; and lactating women, 70 mcg. Due to the demands of the fetus on the mother, the dietary need for selenium increases during pregnancy.
- The RDA for infants has not been determined. For infants up to 6 months old, 2.1 mcg/kg is adequate intake (AI). The AI for infants 7-12 months is 2.2 mcg/kg per day.
- Adults, 400 mcg per day for adults and adolescents 14 years and older.
- The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for infants up to age 6 months is 45 mcg per day;
- Infants 7 to 12 months, 60 mcg per day;
- Children 1 to 3 years, 90 mcg per day;
- Children 4 to 8 years, 150 mcg per day;
- Children 9 to 13 years, 280 mcg per day.

I just found this forum, I've been an atheist for my whole life. Lately I've been feeling like I've been missing something, I did research on Christianity and found that if didn't answer what I was looking for. I'm looking for brotherhood of people who understand my problems, people who are genuine and accept people for who they are.
We learned about Islam in social studies and it led me to do more research on Islam, my question is does Islam give that feeling and how do I join.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 19, 2009) — Jockey Joseph Talamo, playing cat and mouse on the lead, guided 6-1 outsider Black Astor to a two-length victory over odds-on favorite Spring House in the $150,000 Sunset Handicap on Sunday's closing day program at Hollywood Park.
Black Astor opened a big lead early, got a rest on the backstretch as Talamo allowed the gap to close, then finished strongly to win the 68th running of the 1 ½-mile marathon in 2:27.10 on the Lakeside Turf Course.
Porfido finished another half-length back of Spring House in third, while second-choice Obrigado finished last in the field of four.
"He's such a neat horse," Talamo said of the winner. "He's got such a big heart that when he gets to the lead he wants to just keep going. When he went that slow first quarter I said, 'man they're going to have trouble catching him.' That's the first time he's relaxed like that on a loose rein. I can't really take all the credit. He was pretty much the only speed in the race and was able to open up early without taking a lot out of him."
The victory in the Grade II event was the first in a Hollywood Park stakes race for trainer Lisa Lewis.
"I thought that the horse is a marathon type horse, but until they actually go the distance, you don't know," she said. "I can't say this was my plan, first race back to go a mile-and-one-half, so I was a little concerned about that. I thought he was training pretty good, but until they go a mile-and-one-half, you just don't know. He's a fast horse. He's not just a plodder — he's a real fast horse."
Black Astor, a 5-year-old, won for the fourth time in 16 races while making his first start since January. The winner's share of $90,000 boosted his earnings to $229,624. He paid $14.40 and $4, while Spring House returned $2.20. There was no show betting.

Email: Central office fate could end up in county's hands
SALISBURY — The controversial downtown Rowan-Salisbury School System central office could again require commissioners' approval, according to an email from Rowan County Finance Director Leslie Heidrick.
The email obtained by the Post describes a conversation between Heidrick, two other county finance employees and Tim Romocki, director of debt management for the N.C. Department of State Treasurer.
"It appears that, if the (Local Government Commission) approves for Salisbury to borrow funds for a Central Office, the transaction would require Board of Commissioner approval of the lease between RSS and the City," Heidrick wrote to County Manager Gary Page in the exchange.
But supporters of the project said state statute doesn't require the county to approve the city's plan to fund the project.
Commissioners voted against funding the central office earlier this year — prior to the city's pledge — and several county leaders have remained adamant against the structure planned for the 300 block of South Main Street.
Vice Chairman Craig Pierce said he wasn't sure how he would vote if the matter were to come back to the county.
"I've already voted one time not to fund the central office in downtown Salisbury," Pierce said. "I still feel that way as far as the county being involved. I'd have to see what the proposal was before I make any idea as far as which way I'd go on it."
Commissioner Jon Barber said he would support the agreement.
"If it has to come back before us we should approve it and get out of the way," Barber said. "Just like we asked the city of Salisbury to de-annex the airport and get out of the way."
But City Attorney Rivers Lawther said it won't come to that, citing a state statute that he said doesn't require counties to approve certain leases.
"There is a statute that does require the county commission to approve certain leases that the school board enters into," Lawther said. "But the proposed lease that Salisbury is offering does not require, the statute does not require, the LGC to require the county board of commissioners to approve" the lease.
Assistant City Manager John Sofley said the proposed lease meets the requirements of an operating lease that would not require approval by the county.
"The city has the authority to issue debt for economic development and build an office building. We also have the authority to lease this facility. We do have to have LGC approval for issuance of the debt, but there is nothing in the General Statutes that requires the county approving this debt issuance," Sofley said in an email. "The General Statutes also provide that RSSS can enter into operating leases without the county's approval. In fact, RSSS has several of these currently.
"I have been working with our bond attorney, Ed Lucas, on the drafting of a lease that meets the requirements to be an operational lease and the issuance of debt for economic development."
Commission Chairman Jim Sides, commissioners Chad Mitchell and Mike Caskey and County Attorney Jay Dees could not be reached for comment.
Rowan-Salisbury School Board Chairman Richard Miller said the Local Government Commission does not need the county's approval because the schools got a lease before discussing a lease-purchase relationship.
"For some reason, everybody seems to be searching so hard for a reason not to that they mix and match things that don't mix and match together," Miller said.
"It does not apply to this situation because we first got a lease before we got the lease-purchase relationship," he said. "What the county is trying to use to torpedo the downtown site does not apply."

The Age of Cognac
A Cognac may only be soldy when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age.
Once transferred into glass, the Cognac stops maturing . It stands still.
V.S (for Very Special) , also called *** (or Three Stars) is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least two and a half years old.
V.S.O.P ( for Very Superior Old Pale) , also called Reserve, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is between four and a half and six and a half years old.
XO (for Extra Old ) , Napoléon, also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
Most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.

What makes a neighborhood walkable? Having amenities within walking distance — like schools, stores parks or transit options less than a mile away. Living on an interconnected street grid as opposed to a street layout with dead-end cul-de-sacs helps, too.
But a Walk Score helps more than just your miles-traveled footprint. It's an economic development determination factor.
I actually was clued to the idea from the office of Tracy City Manager Leon Churchill.
The score shows up on real estate websites like Zillow — where it is a factor that helps determine the estimated value of your home — and is sandwiched between tax history of a property and local schools. The score — high or low — is a good determination of an area's sprawl or compactness. It realistically quantifies if you have a lot of choices close to you or have to travel far and wide to get what you want.
The value of how much time you spend in your car is an economic factor that not only affects you, but the health and economic vitality of the city you live in.
It might not seem like a big deal in small standalone towns in the Central Valley like Tracy, but this is actually where it means the most.
The San Joaquin Valley is the breadbasket for the country. The more we can conserve our outlying agricultural land, the more food will be available — and affordable — for the nation. That means we need to develop our infill land before we sprawl outward.
Besides the financial hit, we should care about the quality of what we take into our lungs. The San Joaquin Valley also has a huge problem with air quality. As residents, we get penalized every year for exceeding the minimum air quality requirements set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
Our children are more likely to get asthma, as their young lungs more susceptible to damage from air pollution. According to the EPA, residents in the San Joaquin Valley are four times more likely to die from air pollution than driving a car. And since breathing air is something we all do, it's everyone's problem.
Whether you believe in climate change or not, or whether you can afford to drive or not, the bottom line is if you live in the Central Valley, your lungs are taking in more particulates than are good for you. To make things better, we need to get out of our cars more.
So having a good Walk Score in Tracy would be good for all of us.
But Tracy has a problem bringing every residents' Walk Score down: It doesn't have an open-source transit monitoring system, despite my constant urging. As a result, our Tracer bus system doesn't show up in the algorithms that determine every Tracy resident's Walk Score — only the regional RTD system does.
It's an information black hole that officials do not think is important enough to fill.
But it matters.
My Walk Score — as measured by www.walkscore.com — at home is only 54 out of 100 despite being less than a half-mile from a grocery store, a school and several restaurants, and less than a quarter-mile from a park. That seemingly low score is because missing from the calculation, because of Tracy's lack of open-source information, are two bus routes and three bus stops within walking distance.
The neighborhood I work in, in Stockton, has a Walk Score of 70, a little economic engine of a street that includes several amenities within one city block, near several bus routes.
For those of you who live in Mountain House — who have to drive to go anywhere or do anything — your Walk Score is only an 11, which speaks volumes to the amount of time you spend in your car.
The point is that we would all be better off if we spent less time in our car and more time walking, using transit or riding a bike. It is better for our bottom line, our waistline and every breath we take.
For a change: Calculate your Walk Score. Visit www.walkscore.com
To make a difference: Walk around your neighborhood and visit a business within walking distance — slow down and enjoy the fact that you are getting exercise and an errand done at the same time.
To make a stand: Be a voice for change and ask city of Tracy officials to provide open-source transit information. We need transparency to make a regional transportation system work. Tracy deserves it.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 14, 2012)—Two-time Grade I winner Turbulent Descent will make her first start of 2012 in the $70,000 Desert Stormer Handicap Sunday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Named in honor of the 1995 Breeders' Cup Sprint winner, the Desert Stormer is for older fillies and mares and will be run at six furlongs over Cushion Track. It is the seventh of nine races. Post time is 1 p.m. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park open at 9:55 a.m. for simulcasts.
Owned by a partnership that includes Blinkers On Racing Stable and Bill Strauss and trained by Mike Puype, Turbulent Descent has been away since finishing sixth as the 1-2 favorite in the Grade I La Brea Stakes last Dec. 31.
The 4-year-old daughter of Congrats and the Forestry mare Roger's Sue hasn't lost in three starts at Betfair Hollywood Park, including a victory in the 2010 Hollywood Starlet.
The Starlet was the first of her Grade I victories with the other coming last Aug. 6 in the Test at Saratoga. A winner of six of 10 lifetime, Turbulent Descent has earned $858,350.
The Desert Stormer cast includes two other Grade I winners – Switch and Teddy's Promise.
Trained by John Sadler, who won the 2009 Desert Stormer with Coco Belle, and owned by Lee and Susan Searing's C R K Stable, Switch earned her biggest victories consecutively, taking the La Brea Dec. 26, 2010 and the Santa Monica Jan. 30, 2011.
A 5-year-old daughter of Quiet American and the Nicholas mare Antoniette, Switch has won five of 19 and banked $1,238,233. She has two wins and three seconds in five starts over Cushion Track.
Bred in California by owners Ted and Judy Nichols and trained by Ron Ellis, Teddy's Promise has won four of her last five races, topped by a 16-1 upset in the La Brea on New Year's Eve.
The 4-year-old Salt Lake filly out of the Capote mare Braids and Beads has won six of 15 and earned $412,818. She's 4-for-6 over the main track at Betfair Hollywood Park. The most recent win for Teddy's Promise came in the Time To Leave Stakes May 6.
Izzy Rules will be trying to rebound off back-to-back fifth place finishes, the latest in the Time To Leave.
Owned by George and Mary Clare Schmitt and trained by Jeff Bonde, Izzy Rules rattled off four consecutive wins before her recent slide. The victories, which included a Grade III score in the Las Flores March 11 at Santa Anita, were by a combined 21 ¼ lengths.
A 5-year-old daughter of Peace Rules and the Dayjur mare Da Dance, Izzy Rules is 7-for-19 with earnings of $243,253.
Great Hot, the winner of the Grade II Raven Run last Oct. 22 at Keeneland, will be making her first appearance over Cushion Track. The Brazilian bred, who is owned by breeder Coudelaria Jessica and trained by A.C. Avila, has won four of 12. The 4-year-old daughter of Orientate and the Seeking the Gold mare That's Hot has banked $363,265.
Mildly Offensive will be looking for her second win in three 2012 starts for owner Warren Williamson and trainer Carla Gaines. The 4-year-old Sharp Humor filly out of the Personal Flag mare It's Personal has won three of eight while earning $183,168. In her only previous start over Cushion Track, Mildly Offensive was fourth in the Grade II A Gleam Handicap last July 16.
From inside out, the field for the Desert Stormer Handicap: Switch, Mike Smith rides, 123 pounds; Izzy Rules, Edwin Maldonado, 118; Mildly Offensive, Rafael Bejarano, 116; Teddy's Promise, Victor Espinoza, 122; Great Hot, Garrett Gomez, 118 and Turbulent Descent, David Flores, 122.

The BMC Racing Team will field a versatile roster for the Tour de Wallonie, a five-day Belgian stage race that begins Saturday.
A Favorite For Van Avermaet
Two uphill finishes are followed by stages expected to finish in bunch sprints before a final circuit race that features three ascents of the Mur de Thuin, a 400-meter cobblestoned climb. "It's not an easy race," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe said. "But we have a really strong team and a lot of these riders will do the Vuelta so they want to show they'll be ready for it." Greg Van Avermaet, second overall at this race in 2008, said the race is one of his favorites. "It has some nice hard stages and some small uphill finishes, which is what I like the most," he said. "I think we have a good team on the start line and can build on some of the good performances we had in Austria."
BMC Racing Team Tour de Wallonie Roster (July 23-27):
Alessandro Ballan (ITA), Mathias Frank (SUI), Martin Kohler (SUI), Alexander Kristoff (NOR), John Murphy (USA), Taylor Phinney (USA), Greg Van Avermaet (BEL).

In case you're not familiar with it, this here is the Original Penguin All Day Polo, because it's sharp-looking all day, every day.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trailblazr My favorite Polo by Penguin I liked the two polos so much I wore them without washing first. I love the faded color look and the colored Penguin logo also. The cotton feels nice and durable and I expect to get alot of wear from these shirts. I wish they had more colors than the two I got on sale. I probably would have bought them all. April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaptainG1X Stylish and comfortable The all day polo looks great. I actually got one in magnet and one in teal. Can't comment on durability yet but the material certainly feels strong and durable all the while very comfortable to wear. As with essentially all OP shirts, they fit very snug and slim so I had to order an XXL as I do with all the heritage fit polos. I usually wear L or XL in most other brands of shirts that I buy. The XXL for me fits just right, snug around the biceps but not too tight around the torso. My wife loved it on me from the second I put it on! The classic penguin embroidered logo is a nice touch that sets it apart from most other OP polos as well. February 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrDibbs All Day Style & Comfort I like the way this shirt looks and feels. It's well-crafted and durable. That's key! February 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zulu Excellent product The quality of this product is amazing . Got it for my husband and he loved it. Just make sure before buying that you buy one size bigger as this is a slim fit and falls short . My husband wears L so i got his an XL January 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jeltja Great looking shirt fits too snugly. Great shirts. Priced slightly high but good quality. Fit is very snug. Had to return for sizing. December 29, 2013

Nikon D750 ( Body Only)
It's not the cheapest camera in its class, but the Nikon D750 delivers an excellent combination of quality, performance and features for its price.
Canon EOS Rebel T5 ( with 18-55mm Lens)
While it's a perfectly fine camera when you're making the jump from a point-and-shoot, there are better choices than the Canon EOS Rebel T5.
Olympus Stylus SP-100
The Olympus Stylus SP-100 is a problem-solver camera, giving zoom fiends a simple -- and clever -- way to keep athletes, wildlife, and other targets in your sights.
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is an overall great camera that delivers significant improvements over the RX100 II, but not everyone will think it's worth the extra cost.
Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II has some solid capabilities and a standout lens, but the overall experience just doesn't live up to its price.
PowerShot SX600 HS ( Black)
Though there's nothing extraordinary about it, the SX600 HS is a solid choice for snapshooters wanting a simple step up from a smartphone without sacrificing on-the-go sharing.
Canon PowerShot N100
The Canon PowerShot N100's photos and performance are a step in the right direction for point-and-shoots, but the N100 design needs a bit more work and perhaps fewer novelties.
Sony Alpha 6000 ( Body Only, Black)
Despite small annoyances, the Sony Alpha 6000 is a great overall camera for more advanced photographers who want something smaller than a dSLR, especially if they need the continuous- shooting speed.
Canon PowerShot SX700 HS ( Black)
If you're looking for more than just a simple snapshot experience from a compact zoom camera, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS should be on your short list, despite a couple shortcomings.
Nikon Coolpix S9700
Outside of some design quibbles, the Nikon Coolpix S9700 puts big zoom power and nice photo quality (snugly) in your pocket.

Photos from the Oakland Zoo
Kate and I went to the Oakland Zoo for the first time this past weekend. We loved the sky ride, which lets you see the animals from above, and also gave you an incredible view of San Francisco. Highly recommended.

Photos from Kate and Sachin's Ireland adventure
Kate and I had a wonderful time in Ireland earlier this month. Here's a quick summary of what we did and what we loved.
- Saturday: Landed in Dublin and explored the city
- Sunday: Explored Dublin, Book of Kells, Guinness tour
- Monday: Drove to Galway. Then drove to Cliffs of Moher.
- Tuesday: Drove to Connemara
- Wednesday: Drove to Killarney and explored the town
- Thursday: Tour of Ring of Kerry then drove to Kilkenny
- Friday: Explored Kilkenny
- Saturday: Drove to Dublin airport and flew home
Overall a lot of driving but I loved it. We had a VW Golf TDI for the week. Really great car. It was my first time driving a diesel! The roads in Ireland were some of the most fun I've ever driven. We spent little time on the motorways, and most time on curvy and hilly regional roads. Always beautiful. We clocked about 1k kilometers!
The food in Ireland was much better than I expected. Whether we were at a nice restaurant or just a pub, everything was fresh and delicious. Between Ireland and New Zealand, I'm really starting to see that if you have fresh ingredients, you don't need to do much to have great food. Why isn't food in the US as fresh?
And of course we drank well. Lots and lots of beer. Basically every pub we went to had Smithwicks, Guinness, Heineken, Bud, Coors light, and Bullmers. I definitely could have used an IPA after a while (or any variety for that matter!).
We loved Ireland and hope to go back in the future so we can see the north as well.

The episode was one of the many battles — big and small — that women such as Larkin fought during the heyday of the women's rights movement in the 1960s, '70s and '80s.
Larkin, 82, of Allentown, Judith Ruhe Diehl, 87, of South Whitehall Township, and Jan Forse, 85, also of South Whitehall, talked about those struggles in the run-up to this month's celebration of National Women's History Month.
They were active in the movement in the Lehigh Valley and are donating their buttons, posters, photos and documents from that era to Lehigh University's Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies program. The university is planning to preserve the material for future generations.
"It's important to have that history," said Jackie Krasas, a Lehigh associate professor of sociology and anthropology and director of the women studies program. "It's the day-in, day-out, very hard work on the ground that often doesn't get recorded as history."
Krasas said the program still has to figure out how best to archive and use the seven or so boxes of material in the collection.
Though they started out as homemakers living conventional lives of marriage and motherhood, Diehl, Forse and Larkin became part of a social revolution that would spread like a wave across the country. They raised eyebrows in middle-class communities, where their attempts to change social mores met with resistance. But in the end, the women's movement overturned many of the barriers that had kept women out of some clubs, colleges and professions.
Diehl, Forse and Larkin look back on those days as among the defining moments of their lives.
The three women are hoping that by talking about the movement, others who were active locally will consider contributing their own photos, documents and memorabilia to the Lehigh University collection.
"The young girls now have no idea what it was like," Larkin said. "And the only way they're going to know is if these things are preserved."
Mrs. John Smith
Standards did change, but slowly. It wasn't until the 1980s, for example, that The Morning Call's obituaries stopped listing a married woman by her husband's name — Mrs. John Smith — rather than her actual name.
It took a Supreme Court order for newspapers to stop segregating help-wanted ads. For decades, those ads were divided by gender: Traditional women's jobs such as hairdressers, secretaries and nurses would be listed under Female Help Wanted, while positions in traditionally male fields were under Male Help Wanted. The practice stopped after a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling against the Pittsburgh Press.
Movements are often recounted in court cases and events on a grand scale, and indeed Diehl, Forse and Larkin marched on Washington for the unsuccessful Equal Rights Amendment, and Forse and Larkin attended landmark National Organization for Women conferences. But they also performed the less glamorous nuts and bolts of activism.
Diehl was one of the first female Lehigh County commissioners and the board's first chairwoman. She was active in everything from women's prison reform to working with the Evangelical Lutheran Church's Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod on the changing roles for women in the church. Larkin and Forse, whose last name at the time was Leander, worked on issues ranging from parity in school activities such as intramurals to programs for survivors of domestic violence and for displaced homemakers.
For Diehl, activism was in her DNA: Her mother was a suffragist.
Larkin, as a young mother, read Betty Friedan's groundbreaking book, "The Feminine Mystique," and identified with it immediately.
"That was my awakening," she said.
Forse said she was a feminist in kindergarten.
"I saw all the things that the boys did, and I wanted to do those too," she said.
Diehl is a Lehigh Valley native but she moved with her husband, William Diehl, as his job took him to other states. In 1969, she returned to the Lehigh Valley with her husband and children. And Larkin and Forse arrived here that year with theirs.
Larkin and Forse were neighbors who bonded over children and activism.
They lobbied the Parkland School District in the mid-1970s to raise the pay of girls sports coaches and open up more courses for girls to take as electives.
"We knew that the law said that girls could take shop and boys could take home ec," Larkin said. "So I went to call on the principal of Springhouse [Middle School], which was a brand new school, and asked if they were offering shop to the girls and he said, 'Oh no, we can't do that.' And I said, 'I think you better check on that with the state.' He came back and found out he was wrong, so they completely changed the program to allow our two daughters to take shop."
Larkin said she and Forse were concerned about how their daughters might be treated in class, but the school staff "bent over backward" to treat them well.
Still, there were a few unintended consequences.
"My daughter, when I told her she had to hem a dress, she got the stapler out and hemmed the dress with a stapler because she hadn't taken home ec," Forse recalled, chuckling.
The women got used to push-back from both men and women who felt threatened by the feminist agenda. Larkin remembers being interviewed by Parkland School Board members looking to fill a vacancy on the board.
"They all knew about my involvement with NOW and that we had come and asked about intramural sports and they weren't happy about it," Larkin said. "This one gentleman asked me, 'Mrs. Larkin, if you dropped your handkerchief, would you be offended if I picked it up?' and I was stunned. And finally I said, 'No, I wouldn't be offended, but at the same time I am perfectly capable of picking my handkerchief up myself.'
"I didn't get the position," Larkin said, laughing. "Too radical."
In the mid-'70s, several women in the Lehigh Valley saw a need for an organization geared toward helping victims of domestic abuse. What started as "May Day Anonymous" became Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley, which has since provided shelter, counseling or education to 80,000 victims. Larkin served two terms on its board of directors.
She divorced in 1979, went back to college and became a financial planner. Moving into a traditionally male field, she recalls contending with lots of dirty jokes and being mistaken for a secretary.
That was before no-fault divorce, and Larkin learned how devastating divorce could be for a woman's financial situation. She started a support group for women who were separated and taught a class on money management for women.
"If the property was in the husband's name, she wasn't considered an owner," Larkin said. "If the cars were in the husband's name, she had to buy a car from the husband."
Forse got a job as a social worker at Allentown State Hospital and went to Temple University for her master's degree. As part of her course work, she organized the Women's Council of the Lehigh Valley.
The council held a hearing in the mid-'70s at what was then A-B-E Airport in Hanover Township, Lehigh County, on issues affecting women. Forse had invited lawmakers and officials from state and federal agencies to hear area women talk about discrimination and obstacles to employment and education. It was there that Forse and Larkin first met Diehl, who was among the 200 people in attendance.
'I guess you can come'
One of the earliest issues Diehl took on was reform of the women's section of the old Lehigh County Prison. She joined a group taking a tour of the women's part of the prison in the early '70s and found deplorable conditions, she said.
The cell blocks were overcrowded and the recreation area was the landing of a staircase, Diehl said. At night, vermin would come up from the toilets, she said.
"I would go lobby the three commissioners and they would be rolling their eyes and say, 'Now, you're exaggerating.' And I would say, 'It's unfit for human habitation,' because it was. So we organized a group, and it took us five years, but the county finally did build a new unit for the women inside the walls."
In 1980, Diehl also worked with others to help found the Program for Female Offenders of the Lehigh Valley, which helped women leaving prison gain skills and find work to support themselves and their children. The program was renamed The Program for Women & Families in 1993.
Diehl decided she could accomplish more if she worked within the Lehigh County government, so she ran for commissioner in 1977. The county Democratic Party didn't tell Diehl when the various clubs met so she could speak at meetings, but a sympathetic man in the party passed her the information.
"There was a meeting of the men's Democratic Club," Diehl said. "I called up the president and I said, 'I'm Judith Ruhe Diehl and I'm running for county commissioner.' There's a pause, and he said, 'Who did you say you are?' And I repeat the whole thing. Then there's another pause and he says, 'Well, I guess you can come. That other one is coming.' "
"That other one" was Linda Rosenfeld, who was the only woman running for Allentown City Council.
"Well, we had great fun with this," Diehl said.
Diehl lost that year but ran again in 1979 and won. She was re-elected for another four-year term, serving until 1987. She still has political buttons that say, "Re-Elect a Good Diehl."
She said she continued to face sexism in politics but was buoyed by reinforcements. Diehl recalls a hearing in which a fellow commissioner introduced each of the male board members as "commissioner" but introduced Diehl and Commissioner Jane Baker as "Mrs. Diehl" and "Mrs. Baker."
After the hearing, "Jane let him have it," Diehl said, gleefully.
In 1984, Diehl, Larkin and Forse campaigned for Jane Wells Schooley, who challenged Congressman Don Ritter for the 15th Congressional District seat. Schooley, who lost to Ritter, had been president of the Lehigh Valley Chapter of NOW and NOW's national vice president for legislative affairs.
They still have buttons from Schooley's campaign, which are part of their collection going to Lehigh University. Others include "A woman's place is in the House and in the Senate," "A man of quality is not threatened by a woman for equality," "Adam was a rough draft" and "Every mother is a working mother."
Diehl said her husband and others had trouble with many of the changes, because it had been part of the unspoken contract of marriage that the husband would be the head of the household and the wife would put his career first and stay home taking care of the house and children.
"Well, suddenly we're breaking the contract," she said.
But Diehl, Forse and Larkin have also seen opportunities open up for women, including their children and grandchildren, thanks to the work of thousands of activists like them, and they feel proud to have been a part of it.
Forse recalls hearing from a woman who attended local NOW meetings in the 1970s and learned there that she could apply for jobs that had previously been reserved for men. Decades later. the woman thanked Forse for her advocacy work, saying she had become a power plant equipment operator for PPL, earning good pay and benefits.
The world Diehl, Forse and Larkin helped create for women who entered college and the workplace in the late '70s was one of choices and opportunities. Diehl's daughters became a lawyer, a nurse and a science teacher; Forse's daughters worked in the military, corrections and security. Larkin's daughter, Debbie Rizzetto of Dubuque, Iowa, works in sales for a publishing company.
But for years, Rizzetto — who created Larkin's beloved cutting board in shop class — was a stay-at-home mom.
"But she has that choice," Forse pointed out.
"Yes," Larkin said. "She has that choice."
