The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
So we had league doubles this past Sunday. I got paired with a real beginner but that is OK. It's random draw so you get who you get. We both did our best but came up short. I tried to pass on a few tips to the guy and if I see him again I will probably try to help him with his game. Nice kid.
Now the other pair in our foursome was a different story. One of the guys is pretty good but is half crazy and conceited. He thinks that he is some great player but when he doesn't get paired up with a great player he flounders. He doesn't have the mental toughness that it takes to be a great player.
Anyway, after the round he starts going off about how we should handicap doubles with A players and B players. I say no, it is random draw so you get who you get. If you get a lesser player you need to step up your game and you should at least be able to play as well as you play as a single.
Do we need a "diaper league" where we baby people and spoon feed them? Do we cater to those people who think that they should win without trying? I say no. Competition brings out good players. That is what league is about. Go out, play your best and if it's good enough you will win. If I were to win because I got strokes that would not be a win. I wouldn't deserve it. Enough of this "everyone needs to feel good" BS. If you want to compete then come out and compete. If you want to complain please stay home.
I am beginning to not enjoy doubles anymore because of stuff like this. People complaining that they didn't win because they didn't get the right partner or strokes. Enough already. We are playing singles tonight so it is just me and my game. If I make a bad shot I will own it. If I make a great shot I will own it. None of this BS to worry about. And if there are enough people who want it we will do a B pool. However, three wins in B pool you have to move up to A pool.

I found Its hard to make everyone happy when playing in a competition. I just started last year and really like playing but I do it for something to do and exercise,I dont have dreams of making a career out of this,Judging from some of the attitudes I think some people do. But for the most part everyone was pretty easy going and pleasant to play with.
Now I played on both types of leagues one handicap and one doubles league where they break people down into A and B players. I had just picked up a set of discs and joined the league and never played,so needless to say I had a pretty large handicap and by the time my handicap was established I learned a few tips that really took some strokes of my game,So I won like 5 strait weeks because my handicap was so large. Im sure the other that had been playing and already had their true handicap didnt enjoy that,but as that time went on It got lowered into my true handicap and now the scores at the end are all very close and its anyone's game.
Now im sure some people say I didnt really deserve to win seeing how I just have free strokes taken off at the end,True I guess. But thats the type of league it is,You know that going in!
I like the handicap league and Do not care for the doubles,talk about not deserving a win! Im a pretty sucky player with a maximum throwing distance of 250' on my Best day,so when Im paired up with a good player we use 9 out of 10 throws of the the better player and I contribute basically nothing. I think I would feel more useful if I would just carry the better players bag. So if I would win the money that is really undeserved,but then again thats how they run the league. "Which I dont play anymore" I would like it if they playes what we called Scotch Doubles in a Billiard league,where you alternate shots and not just take the better of the two. So if he drives it far,I would throw from there and if I throw it in the bushes,Well that is where the next player throws from and it just continues back and forth. That would even out the game I think,lol might piss off some good players but it would be a true team game.
But in any case or type of league a liar,cheater,sandbagger etc. can ruin it for everyone. So this is just me as a newb point of view on leagues. If you dont like the handicap dont play in it,or have a fear of getting stuck with a crappy players dont play doubles and if your that great find a league or maybe start one up where you just play strait with no partners or handicaps,But im guessing that would be hard to gather up a good group of people.
Just play your best,have fun and leave the attitudes at home!
I Enjoy helping players get Better !!! You have to be willing to learn though and develop confidence in yourself.
You can always play for fun , but don't play any sanctioned events where you are playing with someone else's money , besides your own. This is where your playing partner does not want to lose his/her money on purpose.
Here in San Diego , we have different divisions you can play in.
Our Wednesday Night Doubles , is usually for players , who can shoot atleast 7 under par by themselves and are Teamed up with Pro players who usually shoot 12 under par or better.
Our Friday night doubles is for everyone else. You will get strokes , depending on your average score.
Some Guys are Teamed up with their girlfriends , while others are teamed up with novice players who just started playing.
Everyone knows this going into it.
Friday night Doubles are designed this way.
Alot more relaxed than Wednesday night doubles , where players are more serious about their Scores and Winning.
This is why we have different levels of Competition.
Some just don't care for Competition and just want to play for fun and Relaxation. That's OK.
If they so Choose to play in any type of competition :
I recommend that these type of players should start off by playing singles and maybe play in a few monthly's , establish a handicap of some kind , know their playing ability , before entering into or playing Doubles for Money !
Brian, I would have no problem getting you as a partner. I enjoy the sport and enjoy competing. In a random draw situation I am just as likely to get paired up with the top player as the worst player. Once again everyone knows that going in. If I see that my partner is struggling or is making some mistakes I will try to help him out with some good basic knowledge and advice. I have seen players improve immediately after a few tips. That doesn't bother me. And if you are playing doubles the worst you should do is what you would normally do playing singles so good players need to be used to that and not blame things on "not getting the right partner".
I would recommend that you go out and get tips form others as to what you can do better. Everyone needs somebody to show them a few things when they start out. But novice players don't generally stay that way for long. Around here the next year you will begin to see those same players starting to win because they have learned. And doubles is a good way to learn. So don't be afraid.
Non-handicapped doubles will let the good players rise to the top. Also the good players will win regardless of the partner that they get.
Singles don't need to be handicapped either if you establish an A pool and a B pool. If a player wins three times in B pool they move up. That way there is all of the reason for novice players to show up and compete against players of their own caliber. I always offer both pools but sometimes we just don't have that many novice players show up so we only have an A pool. If there is only one or two novice players we may offer up a few strokes for them to play A pool. That just hasn't happened all that much lately.
So idiot boy shows up tonight for singles league and starts taking money from some people. The problem is he doesn't run the Monday singles league, I do. I basically had to tell him that he was not running league at which point he still tried to do it. Caused a whole lot of trouble for everyone.
Are we the only place in the country that has crazy people like this? This guy has also been caught chopping down trees with an ax and most recently told a city worker with a loader to drive it into the area that we call "the swamp". It is a wet area off of hole #17 with a natural spring. Needless to say the loader got stuck, ripped up a few trees and some grass and left huge ruts in the ground. I called up the city and told them to never talk with this guy as he does not represent us and had no authority to tell anyone to go into that area.
Apologies for going off topic just a bit but this shows what a nutjob this guy is.
We used to do a sunday doubles at Avon town hall park and the TD would split it into A and B players 1 A player 1 B player per team, I always thought it was kind of funny because he would always put me in the B pool and whoever I'd draw as an A player we would win. Sadly he has moved away and the new TD knows I'm not a B player, have not won since...
The guy chops down trees to clear the course?! I'm guessing he told the city worker to drive the loader in to clear the course as well?! What a loser. I'm guessing he's the kind of guy who you have to keep score for while playing singles, because he doesn't like to count penalty strokes, or occasionally "gives" himself putts right after he misses a putt saying "that would have gone in if I was trying..." Sounds to me like he's the kinda guy you want to ask to NOT come to league anymore, and if somebody has the authority, tell him not to play your course because he's damaging it, trying to make it easier to play.
He's not really a cheater. Just crazy and he wants to do things that he shouldn't do. I have been telling the club president to reign him in for a while now.
He was lying and saying, "We took a vote" and crap like that as to why he should run things. Complete fantasy just like the pond he wanted to put in over at the swamp area. I can't make this stuff up.
The saying goes like this, "If it aint broke, don't fix it." He is definitely trying to break some things so he can be the one to fix them. Pretty soon he will have to fix my foot up his as$.
And this is the problem with trying to rig the outcome. Situations where someone who really isn't a B pooler gets in with an A pooler and wins all of the time. The same goes for giving strokes to novices. They get paired up with the best player out there who then also has strokes and rolls over everyone without trying.
In regular random draw doubles, you gets what you gets. Same thing applies to everyone.
I just had a conversation with the guy who used to run the Wednesday night league which alternates between singles and doubles.
We talked about what if we did doubles where people were assigned to either A pool or B pool. First off, someone has to make that determination so you then have someone judging others on their ability. How accurate can that be? Also if you are giving to one then you are taking away from another. It all just adds complexity to running a doubles league and will never be perfect. And what is perfect, that each week someone else wins so that everyone is happy? To me, it just seems like trying to "rig the system" ahead of time.
In a regular random draw system you pay your money and you take your chances with who you get paired up with. No added complexity. You show up, pay in and play. Ace pool is also there as an incentive because anyone can drill an ace and take some cash (sometimes way more than what you get for winning). Much easier to run as well. We have been doing it that way for the past ten years and it has always worked well and we get a decent turnout. But someone always thinks that there is a better way...
My predictions are that if we do decide to go the way of "weighted doubles" it will be less popular and fewer people will show up to play. People like to complain but in the end they also like to compete and win when they play well. No formulas to rely on, only skill.

Skateboarding wiz Corbin Harris has produced a heady qualifying performance to claim pole position for the Lexus Celebrity Challenge at the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
Harris was easily the fastest driver on the Albert Park F1 circuit, producing a searing best lap of 1min57.5400secs, well in front of NFL punter Saverio Rocca and ironman Shannon Eckstein.
Bondi vet Chris Brown was fourth, with an actor (Callan Mulvey), former NRL player (Luke Ricketson), singer (Brian McFadden) and radio presenter (Ross Stevenson) rounding out the top four rows.
Stevenson set the pace in yesterday's wet practice session, ahead of Rocca and Ricketson.
Meanwhile, television presenter Lauren Phillips will be holding up the field in 28th position for the two races this weekend, with the field aboard Lexus' all-new CT200h hybrid sports hatch, which has just been launched in Australia.
There will be two winners in this weekend's races – for the traditional first past the post, and another for the driver who uses the least amount of fuel in an 'economy' challenge.
Race one will be held at 12:45pm on Saturday.

Kosher Bread
|Water Challah
By Reyna Simnegar. Persian Food from the Non-Persian Bride
I like using dry active yeast because it is very easy to find and store. I keep it in the freezer to make it last longer. Also, there is one gadget that I could not do without when making challah: my beloved Bosch mixer. It can handle huge amounts of dough and, while I agree that making challah by hand can be therapeutic, I find that keeping my sanity can be therapeutic too.
3 Tablespoons active dry yeast
For the dough
For the glaze
In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the yeast mixture. Set aside.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a large mixer, place the sugar, oil, salt, 2 cups water, and 7 cups flour. Mix until a smooth paste forms.
Add the yeast mixture, which should be bubbling, to the dough. Then, add the remaining 1 cup water and 8 cups flour until a consistency like that of play dough is reached.
Spray the dough with canola oil and cover with plastic wrap.
Let dough rise 1 hour and then punch down. Then shape the challah. You can make braids or just big balls of dough. Several small balls of dough placed together in a round baking pan that has been sprayed with oil make a pretty pull-apart challah. Remember that challah grows; so dont make the balls too big. I shape 12 balls the size of limes and place them next to each other in a 9-inch baking pan. Spray the dough with canola oil and cover with plastic wrap. Mix the egg and the oil and paint challot with the glaze. Let it rise another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Place into oven preheated to 350 °F for approximately 25 to 45 minutes, depending on the size. The challot should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Wait until the challot cool before putting into plastic bags. At this point you can use them, freeze them, or give them away. You can also wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven right before Hamotzi.
Enjoy Reynas videos on challah making in her beloved Bosch.

Mountaineers snap ETSU's 12-game home winning streak
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 19, 2010) - Lacking the passion and heart it takes to win a basketball game, the ETSU women's basketball team saw its 12-game home winning streak come to an abrupt halt as Appalachian State completely outplayed the Lady Bucs in the second half, and the Mountaineers cruised to a 75-56 victory over the Blue and Gold Friday night inside the MSHA Athletic Center.
After keeping things close in the first half, the Lady Bucs were outscored 42-25 in the final 20 minutes as Appalachian State shot 60.7 percent (17-28) en route to picking up its first win in Johnson City since Feb. 3, 2003. With the victory, the Mountaineers improved to 3-1, while the Lady Bucs suffered their first defeat in 2010-11 and dropped to 2-1.
Fresh off being named Atlantic Sun Player of the Week on Tuesday, senior Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) paced the Lady Bucs with a game-high 20 points, while freshman Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) continued to play well after registering 11 points and eight rebounds.
"We knew Appalachian State was a very good basketball team, but the most disappointing part of the game was how we didn't play with a lot of passion and heart out there tonight," commented head coach Karen Kemp, whose team now embarks on a four-game road trip beginning Monday night at Ohio State. "They completely took us out of our game and their zone was very effective for the entire 40 minutes. I want to credit them for playing a great game, and now we need to get ready for Ohio State on Monday night."
Both teams played a contrasting style in the opening 20 minutes as the Lady Bucs lived by the outside shot, while the Mountaineers dominated in the paint. In a half that was tightly contested as neither team led by as many as eight, Appalachian State outscored ETSU, 28-6 in the paint; however, the Lady Bucs hit four three-pointers compared to the Mountaineers going 0-for-4.
The Lady Bucs got off to sluggish start, missing on seven of their first nine attempts and Appalachian State opened up to a 9-4 lead at the 15:36 mark. From there the Mountaineers extended their margin to eight, 15-7, after Sam Ramirez laid one in with less than 12 minutes left before the break. ETSU continued to fight back and eventually grabbed its first lead since the 18:12 mark when freshman Jasmine McIntosh (Bowie, Md.) sank a three with 4:48 showing on the clock. The Lady Bucs were able to open a three-point advantage (26-23); unfortunately, Appalachian State came back and led 33-31 at the half.
Davis led all players with 12 points at the break, while Anna Freeman and Ashlen Dewart paced the visitors from Boone with eight apiece. Despite being outscored in the paint, ETSU took advantage of eight forced turnovers as the Lady Bucs turned them into 15 points on the offensive end.
Unfortunately the Lady Bucs didn't make any adjustments in the second half and Appalachian State continued to score at ease in the paint as 26 of its 42 points came from the area in the final stanza.
ETSU managed to hold a pair of one-point leads early on in the second; however, with the Lady Bucs ahead 41-40 at the 15:26 mark, Appalachian State mounted an impressive 27-7 run over the next 10-plus minutes to open a 19-point lead, 67-49. The Lady Bucs never had an answer for the Mountaineers' surge and Appalachian State walked away with the 19-point non-conference victory.
Appalachian State, who entered the game shooting 48.9 percent as a team, finished 33-of-64 (51.6 percent) and the Mountaineers outscored ETSU in the paint, 54 to 22. The Mountaineers out-rebounded the Blue and Gold, 45 to 28, while also hitting on all eight of their free throw attempts. Meanwhile, the Lady Bucs - who lead the A-Sun in free throw shooting at 74.5 percent - finished an uncharacteristic 14-of-22 (63.6 percent) at the charity stripe. The lone positive for ETSU at the line was Davis' 8-for-8 effort. Davis has now hit 33 consecutive freebies dating back to last season.
Appalachian State had five players score in double figures as Freeman led the way with 18 points.
The Lady Bucs have a quick turnaround as ETSU faces seventh-ranked Ohio State Monday night. Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside Value City Arena.

Mission Type: Impact
Launch Vehicle: Atlas-Agena B (no. 7 / Atlas D no. 215 / Agena no. 6005)
Launch Site: Cape Canaveral, United States, launch complex 12
Spacecraft Mass: 342.46 kg
Spacecraft Instruments: 1) imaging system; 2) gamma-ray spectrometer; 3) single-axis seismometer and 4) surface-scanning pulse radio experiment
Spacecraft Power: 135.0 W
Total Cost: Total research, development, launch, and support costs for the Ranger series of spacecraft (Rangers 1 through 9) was approximately $170 million.
Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
This was the third attempt to impact the lunar surface with a Block II Ranger spacecraft. On this mission, just 15 minutes after normal operation, a malfunction led to the transfer of power from solar to battery power. Normal operation never resumed; battery power was depleted after eight hours, and all spacecraft systems died.
The first midcourse correction was never implemented, and Ranger 5 passed the Moon at a range of 724 kilometers on 21 October and entered heliocentric orbit. It was tracked to a distance of 1,271,381 kilometers. Before loss of signal, the spacecraft sent back about 4 hours of data from the gamma-ray experiment.

Brewers' Alex Gonzalez debuts at first base
Phoenix - Alex Gonzalez made his first spring-training start at first base for the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday against the Cleveland Indians, but one never would have guessed by how well he handled himself over there.
In four innings, Gonzalez made all the routine plays as well a couple of real gems in a 7-4 loss at Maryvale Baseball Park.
"You've got to make adjustments," he said. "The ground balls are the same. The thing you need to work on is footwork and being in communication with the pitcher and the second baseman. If you go out there relaxed, you can make it easy. »Read Full Article
Empty piece of pipe is culprit of scare at Lake Shore Middle School
An object resembling a pipe bomb was found in the wood shop of Lake Shore Middle School in Mequon on Sunday afternoon.
The object turned out to be an empty piece of pipe capped at both ends. The Milwaukee County Bomb Squad moved the pipe to a safe location and detonated it at 4:20 p.m.
A group of parents and a technology education teacher was cleaning and reorganizing the wood shop area when the suspicious object was found at 1:15 p.m., according to a letter sent to parents by the Mequon-Thiensville School District. The pipe appeared to be discarded plumbing parts and not an attempt to build a pipe bomb.
A second search of the building was conducted after the disposal of the object, and nothing else suspicious was discovered. Classes on Monday will not be affected.

Much of Walker's proposal would go to top 20%, study says
Madison - The top 20% of Wisconsin households - those making more than $90,000 a year - would take home more than half of all of Gov. Scott Walker's proposed income tax cut, an analysis has found.
The top 5% of tax filers - those with incomes above $162,000 - would pull in 20% of Walker's more than $300 million tax cut.
Walker has touted his proposal as a "middle-class tax cut" and pointed out that he only lowered income tax rates for the bottom three income brackets. »Read Full Article
Autopsy ordered in death of Milwaukee man, 50
An autopsy has been ordered after a 50-year-old Milwaukee man's body was discovered outside a home in the 4900 block of N. 51st Blvd. on Sunday morning, several hours after he was in a fight with a group of people.
Milwaukee police are investigating the man's death. His body was discovered around 8:45 a.m.
Franklin police make arrests after sending SWAT officers
Franklin police arrested a 28-year-old man who made threats to harm himself Sunday afternoon.
SWAT officers were sent to a home in the 7100 Block of S. 47th Place in Franklin after the man refused to answer the door shortly before 11 a.m.
The man later surrendered. Police also arrested a 46-year-old woman on an outstanding warrant.
Scott Walker defends his plan to end residency rules
Citing practical and philosophical reasons, Gov. Scott Walker on Sunday defended his plan to end residency rules for public-sector employees statewide, and he rejected Mayor Tom Barrett's warning that eliminating the law would have a devastating effect on Milwaukee.
"It's a weak argument, or an argument of weakness," Walker said in an interview with the Journal Sentinel in Washington, D.C., where the governor was attending the annual meeting of the National Governors Association. "It's saying the only way we can keep people here is to build a wall."
Last week, Walker included the provision to end residency rules in his budget, but he surprised many when he moved to end the practice throughout the state. The League of Wisconsin Municipalities estimates that as many as 127 municipalities have some form of residency rules; it has not yet taken a position on the proposal. Milwaukee requires its city workers, including police officers and firefighters, to live in the city. »Read Full Article
Sikhs' case against chief minister takes twist
Did a couple of process servers from West Allis botch one of the biggest summons deliveries of their careers by mistaking the wrong white-bearded, turban-wearing man for the chief minister of Punjab in India?
Or are a host of witnesses - including diplomatic security agents - lying to protect the minister, unknown foreign policy objectives and their own reputations?
A lawsuit by the group Sikhs for Justice, claiming the minister oversaw massive human rights violations, depends on the answer. »Read Full Article
Walker sees little Wisconsin impact from federal cuts
Washington - With billions in across-the-board federal spending cuts scheduled to take effect Friday, Gov. Scott Walker downplayed the potential harm to Wisconsin's economy, calling the cuts bad policy but not economically crippling.
"I heard a couple of governors say today, 'This is going to cripple the economy.' And the governor I was sitting next to and I said, 'How? Like how?' " said Walker, who was interviewed Sunday during the annual meetings of the National Governors Association in Washington.
"If I was the governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, I'd probably be freaked out," Walker said, referring to that state's huge defense presence. "But we don't have big military bases (and) our military contractors have already started to account for this." »Read Full Article

Pedestrian, Milwaukee officer injured in separate incidents
A 25-year-old Franklin man crossing the street on foot against a red light was struck by a car early Sunday at N. Water St. and E. Juneau Ave., and an officer at the scene of the accident was injured by an alleged drunken driver, Milwaukee police said.
Police Capt. Terrence T. Gordon said the pedestrian was struck about 2:45 a.m., and the driver of the car - a 25-year-old Milwaukee woman - remained at the scene. The injured pedestrian remains hospitalized with serious injuries, police said.
The injured officer was treated at a hospital after a 22-year-old West Allis man driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup struck a squad car broadside, police said Sunday. The officer suffered contusions and pain to his hands, police said. He was performing traffic patrol when the pedestrian incident occurred. The officer was inside of his squad car, which was struck by the Silverado, causing severe damage to both vehicles. »Read Full Article
Barrett preps for 'state of city'
In his "state of the city" address, scheduled for Monday morning at the historic Pritzlaff Building, Mayor Tom Barrett will celebrate the efforts of entrepreneurial-minded Milwaukeeans.
But Barrett also will remind residents of the serious challenges ahead: a foreclosure crisis that continues to eat away at some neighborhoods, the daily fight to stem violent crime and poverty, and a new effort by Gov. Scott Walker to end residency rules for public-sector employees that the mayor believes threatens the city.
As mayor, Barrett has traditionally given his "state of the city" address in different locations. This year, he and his staff chose the Pritzlaff Building, 325 N. Plankinton Ave., built in 1875. »Read Full Article
First Stage's 'Pinkalicious' is a tasty treat
In a world where enough is never enough - and where, with cupcakes as with potato chips, we can't seem to stop at one - a character like Pinkalicious Pinkerton is sure to be popular. The beloved children's book heroine is now starring in her very own musical at First Stage Children's Theater, under John Maclay's direction.
At first, pink-hued blush, there's nothing particularly complicated about this sugary confection, in which a cupcake-loving girl must learn the value of moderation - and the importance of eating greens.
But while the characters are simply drawn - First Stage correctly suggests that "Pinkalicious" is appropriate for anyone age 3 or older - there's more to this show's color-coded morality than the pink doilies on a very pink set (designed by Jason Coale; lighting by Jesse Kluge). »Read Full Article
Ice fishing in the Olympics? Get ready for steroid testing
A sip of brandy, maybe, might get ingested by master ice anglers competing for the World Ice Fishing Championship.
But steroids?
Perhaps that never even crossed the minds of the international cadre of competitors last weekend on the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir, near Wausau. Nevertheless, ice fishermen found themselves confronted by representatives of the World Anti-Doping Agency, requesting a urine sample, according to a report in Sunday's New York Times. »Read Full Article

Dogs rescued from fighting, then held as evidence, could go free
More than a dozen dog srescued from a suspected fighting ring only to be locked up as evidence for 20 months may finally taste freedom soon.
In a follow up to her initial coverage, WISN-TV, Channel 12 reporter Colleen Henry reported from a Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission meeting on Thursday where the agency's new executive director said she wants to get the animals into rehab.
"We want to get a positive outcome for as many of these dogs as possible, hopefully all of them. It's just unconscionable that they've been incarcerated for this long," Karen Sparapani said. »Read Full Blog Post
Forecast: Mostly sunny Sunday, storm system arrives Tuesday
Get ready to enjoy a beautiful Sunday in February in southeastern Wisconsin, with partly to mostly sunny skies, light wind and temperatures climbing just above freezing, according to WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) meteorologist Jesse Ritka.
Skies will remain mostly clear to partly cloudy Sunday night, and temperatures should drop into the teens with light wind and some patchy fog or freezing fog.
Monday should be mild and dry, Ritka says, in advance of a storm system that is expected to arrive Tuesday afternoon. Many areas north and west of the Milwaukee area won't see much snow, but areas farther south and east have a chance of two to four inches of heavy, wet snow, Ritka says. Snow could occur off and on from Wednesday through Friday, though it won't be snowing that entire time.

UDP-Glucuronosyl Transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) Gene, Known Mutation
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Bilirubin, resulting from the breakdown of heme, is a water-insoluble toxic compound. Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is responsible for bilirubin conjugation with glucuronic acid. This renders the bilirubin water soluble and permits excretion of the bilirubin-glucuronide conjugates in urine.(1) Genetic mutations in the UGT1A1 gene may cause reduced or absent UGT1A1 enzymatic activity resulting in hyperbilirubinemia (eg, Gilbert syndrome, Crigler-Najjar syndrome).
Gilbert syndrome, found in 5% to 10% of the population, is the most common hereditary cause of increased bilirubin and is associated with mild hyperbilirubinemia (bilirubin levels are typically around 3 mg/dL.(2) Gilbert syndrome is caused by a 25% to 50% reduced glucuronidation activity of the UGT1A1 enzyme and characterized by episodes of mild intermittent jaundice and the absence of liver disease.
Crigler-Najjar (CN) types I and II are inherited causes of severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. CN type I is associated with no UGT1A1 enzymatic activity and usually presents as intense jaundice in the first days of life and persists thereafter.(3) Type II is a milder form in which bilirubin levels are <20 mg/dL. Phenobarbital, a drug that induces synthesis of a number of hepatic enzymes, is effective in decreasing serum bilirubin levels by approximately 25% in patients with CN type II; CN type I does not respond to phenobarbital treatment.
If left untreated, the buildup of bilirubin in a newborn can cause kernicterus, bilirubin-induced brain damage. Treatments of CN include: phototherapy, heme oxygenase inhibitors, oral calcium phosphate and carbonate, and liver transplantation. Phototherapy becomes ineffective at later ages and liver transplantation should occur prior to the onset of brain damage (before phototherapy becomes ineffective).
The UGT1A1 gene maps to chromosome 2q37 and contains 5 exons. Currently, there are more than 130 known mutations in UGT1A1, with 45 mutations that cause a decrease in UGT1A1 enzyme activity. Analysis is performed for the familial mutation only.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Identifying the presence of a UGT1A1 mutation when the mutation has been identified in a family member (carrier or affected)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients who have received a heterologous blood transfusion within the preceding 6 weeks, or who have received an allogeneic blood or marrow transplant, can have inaccurate genetic test results due to presence of donor DNA.
UGT1A1 genetic test results in patients who have undergone liver transplantation may not accurately reflect the patient's UGT1A1 status.
This test is for individuals who are at risk for a UGT1A1 mutation that has been previously identified in the family. If the familial mutation is not known, the familial proband should be screened for a UGT1A1 mutation using UGT2 / UDP-Glucuronosyl Transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), Full Gene Sequencing, Hyperbilirubinemia.
This assay does not rule out the presence of other mutations within this gene. This test can only be used for known mutations occurring in the promoter, exons, exon-intro boundaries, and the region in the distal promoter called the "phenobarbital response enhancer module."
An alternative splice site for exon 5 (referred to as exon 5b) has been discovered and described in the literature. This new exon is described to have a decrease in enzymatic activity (compared with exon 5a: previously known as exon 5), but little is known about the frequency of exon 5b or how it impacts hyperbilirubinemia. Currently, we are not testing or sequencing exon 5b; we continue to monitor the literature for new information on exon 5b.
Rare polymorphisms exist that could lead to false-negative or false-positive results. If results obtained do not match the clinical findings, additional testing should be considered.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

There are two ways to open these without the special screwdriver, you can use a hammer and just bust the thing open (using brute force) or take a dremel and cut a slot or Phillips head into the screw.
Since we have evolved from the cavemen i will show you how a gentleman opens these.
You will need a dremel rotary tool and fiberglass reenforced cut off wheel.
appropriate PPE (glasses, ear protection, reflective belt)
Here is some cool information for screws
Step 1: Add a slot into the top
Take your dremel tool and carefully cut a slot in to the top of the screw. You want to modify the screw head to accept the new tool as perfect as possible. If you make the slot too wide then you risk shearing off the head and ruining the screw. If you make it too narrow then you risk injuring yourself when the tool slips.
With practice its possible to cut a Phillips head into the head of the screw.
I never thought of doing it this way . The way i did got around this was i used a dremel with a small grinding stone bit and just ground the little nipple in the center flush to the bottom and then i could use a regular bit ..
I work on electronic equipment for a living and often come across these #$@% fasteners out in the field when I don't have any of those cute little special bits with me. For years I have just knocked the center post off with a small screwdriver and then used a standard torx bit to take the screw out. But using a dremel to cut a slot in the head is still a valid alternative and it's much more inventive than "go buy some bits". So I still give this one a thumbs up!
If you have a response that is relevant to this instructable then please post it. If you really want to know what tools I have, ask me offline, not here. If you just want to throw personal jabs then I will simply ignore you.
But sometimes your in the field and forget a driver, if you got the correct fastener to fix it and explain to the customer, most people are just as happy because you got their emergency fixed.
This was intended for everyone else, the tinkers, or the people who may know a little about appliances to open products at home with out going to the hardware store or going online to buy bits. Maybe they don't have the space/money or real need to buy a tool just for one or two uses when modifying the screw can work in a pinch and is really quick.
I'm not a repairman, but I work on salary, but per hr of actual work is about $10 an hr, I would have to struggle opening this for an hr to justify spending 6-10 for something i would only use once. Including taking pictures, i had this microwave cabinet open in about 10 minutes.
Mentioning sticks and stones, the first time i opened a computer hard drive i used a 22 LR and shot the thing open. I just did it to see whats inside not realizing the cool magnets in it. But pretty much everything was ruined. if i really wanted to bust into this i would have stuck a bottle of beer in it and turned it on, in 30 secs it would blow apart. if the magnetron wasn't powerful then throwing it off my roof would have opened it too.
This method was a more civilized way of opening something without the correct driver.
We understand what the site is about but understand this: Just because you can do something a different way, doesn't necessarily make it sane to do it another way when there are easily obtainable, inexpensive solutions that last a lifetime. Will we all just divert to using sticks and rocks for everything because we want to shy away from tools in general? Doesn't make any sense at all does it, by taking your argument we don't get to have a dremel tool or screwdrivers or anything else, we have to hack some cruder way to do those jobs too.
No, just as you can have a standard torx bit, there is no justification to own standard torx bits if the security bits will do both secure and standard torx.
A cross-section combined with other drives conventionally disassembled worked as a wonderful educational tool.
"It's more simple to buy screwdriver/bit for these screws, than use a dremel." or "Just go buy the tool." They are not really very constructive when the author is merely trying to show a way to remove such a screw when the tool (for whatever reason) is not available. If you have the tool then use it. If you need the tool, then go get it. If this is the only security Torx screw you will ever remove, then it should be OK to use a dremel, or to knock the post out of the screw, or whatever other way you can think of to get it out. Maybe you should read my post again.
I've tried it. It won't take much torque without shearing or torqueing out, but a new tool is right there handy.
A glass of Ice water (or cold beverage of choice) is useful to speed tool hardening.
A small file and a large screwdriver, or even a hacksaw blade would work in a pinch if someone didn't have a Dremel tool
A drill press can turn most decent quality Torx bits into TR ones too.
But this is an excellent idea for for any screws that you don't have the driver for, just be careful doing this on the smaller screws because it can significantly weaken the screw head and when you go to turn it it can snap off.

There's a new addition to Orlando Science Center's KidsTown exhibit hall!
Imagination Playground, an innovative playspace concept by Rockwell Group, is a portable playground made of lightweight foam pieces. Loose parts of unique shapes and sizes foster creativity and design, allowing children to build anything they might imagine. Children of all ages can enjoy creating countless settings and scenarios, animals, robots and more with the kid-friendly, eco-friendly foam.
Through Imagination Playground, deep learning concepts such as critical thinking and problem solving are developed and strengthened. Little ones have fun while also "building" on skills that will give them a competitive advantage in school and one day, a career. As your child imagines, designs and creates, they develop an understanding of balance and other STEM concepts.
The limitless possibilities foster creativity and innovation that extend beyond Imagination Playground! Children will see regular household items in new light and use them in exciting ways. Toilet paper rolls are not just telescopes; they are parts to build a log cabin, or support beams for a Hot Wheels parking garage!
Interpersonal skills like collaboration are fostered when children work together with parents or peers to build various structures. Kids learn how to be flexible thinkers and adapt their structures by trial and error when something does not work. Fairytale kingdoms, pirate ships, missions into space…the possibilities are endless! Rather than simply taking your child to a playground, let them create their own!

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. - The hard lessons of life and death found their way into the hallways of St. Louis Park High School Tuesday.
14-year-old Carly Christenson died from complications from the flu Tuesday afternoon. She was a popular student who played on the junior varsity basketball team.
"It's a shock for everyone here," said Assistant Principal Scott Meyers. "Late in the day, students started to get notification via text messages and voice mails."
Christenson has been hospitalized for days, but her pastor tells KARE 11 shortly before 1 p.m. she passed away.
She did get the flu shot, but it's unclear if she was dealing with other health issues. But by all accounts, she was a healthy teenage girl loved by many.
"We're kind of dealing with the shock right now and having students just have a place where they can kind of meet with somebody, either a counselor or friend or a trusted teacher," said Meyers.
Meyers says extra counselors are available for students or staff who may need them.
Family members were too grief stricken to comment, but Christenson is described by her friends as a fun-loving, talented student, and a good friend.
"(She) obviously was a very wonderful young lady," he said.
The Minnesota Health Department says this would be the fifth flu-related death this season. But a spokesperson says a number of possible flu-related deaths are currently being investigated and expects that number to double when the updated numbers are released later this week.
Christenson is the second teen to die due to complications from the flu in Minnesota in the last couple weeks. 17-year-old Max Schwolert was visiting from Texas over the holidays when he passed, but because he was from out of state he is not part of the official state count.
"It hit us really hard this year," said Andre Harnitz, head wrestling coach at Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial Area School.
Officials say the hardest hit area is the south central part of the state. That's where Harnitz coaches high school wrestling for the Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial area, which is near Mankato.
He canceled the wrestling meet Tuesday night because so many kids on the team are out sick, including his own son. He says it was the first time the wrestling team had to cancel a meet because of the flu.
"Just off of our varsity squad, we have 14 guys on varsity, eight of them were sick," said Harnitz.
He says his son has experienced vomiting and respiratory problems, among other symptoms.
It is another example of a state, and for that matter a country gripped by illness with some unfortunately dealing with more than just that.
"We're feeling supported here, but obviously it's a tough time," said Meyers.
Christenson's pastor at Westood Lutheran Church in St. Louis Park posted the note below on the church's Facebook page.
Dear Friends,
Carly Christensen died today at 12:40 PM surrounded by her family.
The Wednesday evening service tomorrow will include a time of prayer and candle-lighting to remember Carly and to proclaim the promise of Christ, the promise of hope and light that the darkness cannot overcome. All are welcome.
Funeral plans are being made for Saturday. We will send out an update with the time.
Our prayers and deepest sympathies are with Carly's parents Sean and Sandy Christensen, her brother Wyatt, and many beloved friends.

text: Information Systems overview faculty program program news internships/jobs Why Study Information Systems? Where Can Studying Information Systems Take Me? What IS Programs Are Offered? What is the MSIS Program? BNYMellon VP Data Sciences Jacob Childress discusses Big Data projects and challenges with the MIS 480/MIS701 Database Management Class The Le Moyne College Information Systems Program Advisory Board meets to review the IS curriculum, programming and new opportunities Shane Stockhauser '13 visits the Project Management and Introduction to MIS classes to describe the challenges and responsibilities of new project managers Mac Cummings, Terakeet CEO and Dan Russell '12 give an overview of Terakeet's business model to Le Moyne students Students hear about cybersecurity from Terakeet's Dan Russell '12, Sales Engineer, Niicole Owens '11, Search Engine Optimization, Web Strategist, Chris Loman, VP of Operations at Terakeet, and Erik Braunitzer '10, Senior Search Engine Optimization, Web Strategist Why Study Information Systems All disciplines are experiencing growth in computer use, and students who enrich their knowledge of information systems (IS) have a distinct professional advantage. The information systems program is designed to serve students with educational and career interests in information systems, as well as those students who have other career and educational interests and who desire knowledge of information systems. Where Can Studying Information Systems Take Me? The IS curriculum uses formal links and cross listings to integrate knowledge across the College, using information systems as the technological glue. As a result, IS courses are linked to other courses and departments within and outside the School of Business, and to courses outside Le Moyne College, notably to courses at Syracuse University through the new 4+1 B.S./M.S. information systems program, whereby Le Moyne IS students can obtain an accelerated Master of Science in information management from Syracuse University. Le Moyne students may also complete a 6-9 month corporate technology immersion experience through the Global Enterprise Technology program. Finally, industry, academia and government alliances provide key partnership opportunities for Le Moyne College students. The result is that IS courses are linked and cross-listed with a variety of disciplines and across multiple academic institutions; those links include ties to computer science, nursing, health care systems, finance, marketing, sports management, business analytics, and management and leadership. What IS Programs Are Offered? The IS program provides undergraduate and graduate information systems courses for six undergraduate degree programs, one undergraduate minor program, one graduate degree program, and several certificate courses in information systems: B.S., Business Administration, with a major in information systems, B.S., Business Administration, with a major in Management and Leadership/Information Systems, Marketing/Information Systems, Finance/Information Systems, or Business Analytics/Information Systems, B.S., Accounting, with a concentration in Information Systems, Minor in Management Information Systems, Minor in Health Information Systems, Joint IS/Computer Science degree in Software Applications and Systems Development (SASD) 4+1 Dual Bachelor's/Master's Degree program in Information Systems, M.S., Information Systems Global Enterprise Technology (GET) Immersion Experience Internship Program, Graduate Management Information Systems courses for MBA students, and Certificate, non degree-granting programs in Enterprise Systems, Large-Scale Systems, Web-based Technology, Government Systems, Health Information Systems. Each of these programs and degrees provides differing levels of background and experience with information systems. Students with a major other than business administration who are interested in a basic level of familiarity with information systems can pursue an M.I.S. minor as part of their course of study. Interested students are encouraged to discuss these choices with their advisers or the information systems program director to determine which offering best meets their needs. Students majoring in information systems are encouraged to pursue internship opportunities as part of their academic experience. Exceptional students are encouraged to participate in honors study.

Rehabilitation activities in Somalia started way back in Feb 2005, when a reconstruction principle was declared and signed between Prime minister of Somali Transitional government and representatives of United Nations Secretary General.
United Nations development group and World Bank together prepared requirements for reconstruction and development of Somalia. They made Somali Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) for this purpose.
The Fallout from this Assessment was Somali Reconstruction and Development Program (RDP). This program was divided into five parts.
- Overall combined report
- Report on South – Central Somalia
- Puntland Report
- Somaliland Report
- Six Cluster Report
The complete assessment elaborated in these reports has been taken from field visits in various areas of Somalia, workshops, currently available sources and agencies working in Somalia.
The GDP laid priority on
- Infrastructure
- Governance, safety and rule of law
- Productive sectors and environment
- Social service and protection of exposed groups
- Macro-economic policy framing and development of data
Key Sectors which require very high attention to be taken are education, health, water, sanitation and hygiene. There are many organizations which believe in the practical training of the Somali People for their rebuilding and has done a lot of research on developmental needs.
Somalis must understand the need of reconstruction as an economic as well as political actors. They provide various examples of their ability to reconstruct local economies even after they're drawn out from the periods of war.
There are many NGO which is focusing on their goals to assist the people of Somalia from starting
- To engage skilled and educated Somalis from the Diaspora in reconstruction development activities
- To prepare and guide them in reconstruction policies and to promote them in serious discussions among government, media and non-governmental organizations
- Exploring new avenues for integrated regional development and innovative technologies.

Five-day Weather Forecast for Biloxi, MS
This filmmaker shot a stunning timelapse of the sky during his visit to Florida.
Jason Frost and Brandon Key were catfishing on Warrior River, Aug. 29, when the pair received a pretty feline surprise of a tiny kitten swimming towards them. Not long after, another kitten was coming at them.
Residents of Arcadia, California, were shocked to look outside and see two bear cubs playing around. The cubs scampered around for a few minutes before disappearing back into the woods.
Kevin Enlow was using a forklift on Saturday, Aug. 29, when a tree fell on him due to a storm in Puyallup, Washington. Luckily, he was in a safety cage and was not injured.
A severe thunderstorm brought heavy flooding to Texas, on Aug. 31. The National Weather Service recorded 3-5 inches of rain and winds up to 40 mph. This timelapse video captures a supercell over Brownsville.
This mysterious streak of light spotted over Hawaii skies Aug. 30 was actually an abandoned Russian spy satellite -- the Cosmos 1315 -- which launched in 1981. The streak was it burning up as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere.
Check out this crazy footage of a dust storm rolling through Odessa, Washington, on Saturday, Aug. 29.
Widespread flooding between 1 and 3 feet was reported in Brownsville mainly along US 77/83. Emergency crews are urging drivers to stay off the road, but drivers are ignoring the warnings.
Record-setting rain in Charleston, South Carolina, caused flash flooding that closed roads on Aug. 31. Nearly 7 inches of rain had fallen, breaking a previous record for daily rainfall of 2.61 inches set in 2006.
This brave (or unwise) SUV driver barely makes it across a flooded drain crossing in Islamabad, Pakistan, Aug. 2. Two weeks earlier, a family trying to cross in a Range Rover drowned.

After comparison tests of commuter cups by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this model proved to be The Best because it is easy to drink from and does not leak, even when inverted. The Best model's spill-proof lid springs open with the touch of a button—staying out of the way as you drink—and its handleless, slim design fits in a car's cup holder. A safety lock prevents spills when the cup is carried in a briefcase or purse. The Best Commuter Cup allowed hot water to decrease in temperature by only 18ş F after two hours, unlike lesser models that lost up to 71ş F. It kept ice cubes frozen for 36 hours, while other commuter cups allowed ice to melt in six hours. The commuter cup's superior temperature retention is due to its dual walls of stainless steel and vacuum insulation that also prevents heat- or cold- transfer to the exterior. It washes easily because of its removable lid and nonporous interior. BPA-free construction. Blue or Black. 16-oz. capacity. 9" H x 2 1/2" W. (17 oz.)
"Keeps the hot coffee hot for a long time and does NOT leak."- CT, Pennsylvania

Not The Best
By Entropyreverser
from Seattle
Nowhere near as good as your previous Best Commuter cup. Does not hold enough, lip is inconvenient and difficult to drink from. Not dishwasher safe. Very disappointed overall.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Stays HOT for 6-8 hrs
By Bea
from Florida
I just brought 3 of these for gifts. I have 10 travel cups/mugs in my cabinet but none of them work as good as this one. This one really keeps your coffee piping hot for 6 to 8 hrs. But caution it is so hot you will burn your tongue.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

bad design
By 5.0driver
from Naples Fl.
The rubber stopper in the top gets wet and leaves the contents on the top of your nose while trying to take a drink. It propabaly doesn't leak but it does drip on your face while drinking.

Good but not the best

The cup keeps coffee hot and doesn't stew it but it has to many small pieces for easy cleaning.

Great product!

Thermos keeps liquids hot for very long time=a really important feature !!
Nothing Compares
By kenny s
from Havertown Pa.
This is the best commuter cup I have ever used. You can use it for either hot or cold and it does a fantastic job. In the summer I leave it in the hot car for hours and the ice tea stays cold. The outside of the container never sweats and the top is secure and easy to open and use. Recently purchased a few more as my wife could not find anything to keep her tea hot on the morning commute. Wonders why I did not get her one sooner. Use it all year round and am very happy with the way it keeps things hot and cold.
It really is the best commuter mug!
By Greylissy
from Huntington Beach, CA
It keeps my coffee very hot for several hours. I am a coffee sipper so I really like that it stays hot and I don't have to drink quickly. The design is nice. You can lock it and not worry about leaking while in transit.

Hot product
By connie the bird
from Austin, Texas
This is the best commuter cup I have ever owned. It keeps your coffee hot for hours. I mean hot too. It is almost too hot. I will never buy anything else but this commuter cup. I am also going to give this as Christmas gifts. It is really a great product.

Maybe it was the unseasonably warm weather, or maybe people were just hungry. Whatever the reason, the line for Coney Island was halfway down the block as people tried to grab a dog and make it down Main Street for the annual lighting of Santa and his reindeer Wednesday night.
This year, as in years of recent past, the event has turned into multiple lightings and been named the Night of Lights. This year included Aunt Millie's Northern Lights, the Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Community Center Santa's Workshop display, the History Center turret lighting, Santa and his reindeer lighting on the side of PNC with Mayor Tom Henry, a Santa's helper, Wells Fargo's holiday display, Indiana Michigan Power's Merry Christmas wreath, Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory's displays and animated holiday windows at the Embassy Theatre concluding with Parkview Field fireworks.
Surprisingly, there are still some people in Fort Wayne who were seeing the Santa display – put up for decades on the now-gone Wolf & Dessauer department store – for the first time. For Aaron Fording and Brittney Collins, it was the first time they had brought their 1- and 3-year-olds downtown for the annual event. Fording had seen it as a child, but Collins said she had never seen it; she didn't grow up here.
Then there were people like Ken Stirratt, who said he never misses it, although some years he has to come alone. His wife, Rosie Stirratt, uses an electric cart to get around. This year he rigged it with an orange caution flag and a blinking taillight so she could join him.
The Downtown Improvement District and A Party Apart provided free hot chocolate booths with cocoa served by volunteers from title sponsor 3Rivers Federal Credit Union, South Side High School and Hoosier Sports and Chiropractic. Downtown restaurants including Club Soda, Champions, Hall's Gashouse, JK O'Donnells and Toscani's donated the cocoa.
Judging from the smiles in the crowd, the lighting was a hit again this year.

Jefferson County: In the early afternoon hours of Saturday, November 3 Trooper Randel Miller arrested 40-year-old James D. May of North Vernon on meth-related charges. According to Tpr. Miller, he received information of a possible meth lab at Lot 12 of the Sparkman Trailer Court in Dupont. Tpr. Miller responded to the residence and after speaking with the female resident obtained consent to search the trailer. As a result of the search, Tpr. Miller located a bag containing precursors utilized in the manufacture of methamphetamine. May was arrested without incident and was preliminarily charged with Possession of Methamphetamine Precursors, a Class D Felony.
Pending prosecutor's review of the case, additional charges could be filed against May as well as the female resident of the trailer and the owner of the trailer. The investigation is continuing. Tpr. Miller was assisted by other troopers along with Jefferson and Jennings County Sheriff's Deputies.
Persons arrested are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Scientists and nutritionists believe that Raspberry Ketones help regulate the fat-moderating hormone adiponectin. In turn, adiponectin programs your body to act like it's thin. Our Raspberry Ketone supplements are designed not only to promote fat oxidation (burning), but help sugars and fats pass through your system without being absorbed and stored as they normally would. Does this mean you can feast freely on fatty foods as long as you take Raspberry Ketones for weight loss? No. There is no substitute for common sense and a regular program of healthy activity and proper nutrition, but Raspberry Ketones are clinically supported to promote healthy body metabolism to help you achieve your goal weight.
Natural diet supplements such as Raspberry Ketones are designed to help block fat formation as part of an ongoing lifestyle change that includes sensible eating and activity. There is no substitute for proper diet and exercise, but on the path to fitness it's okay to get a little help along the way from the best Mother Nature has to offer.
Raspberry Ketones have been granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status by the FDA..
Directions for Use: As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules daily with a full glass of water. For best results drink plenty of water throughout the day. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
* Daily value not establishedThese statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Eat Your Way to Better Skin With 7 Surprising Antiaging Foods
Not to sound like a hippie-dippie life coach, but beauty really does come from within—starting with what you eat! So next time you hit the grocery store, go armed with this list of complexion-boosting foods from diet and skin-care experts, and get ready to chew your way to smoother, more glowing skin.SEE MORE
Lemon + kiwi = complexion clearerHow come oranges get all the citrus-fruit street cred? "Lemons help your body detox by supporting your liver and kidneys," says Peter Lamas, founder of Lamas Beauty. "The cleaner your system is, the clearer your complexion will be." Kiwifruits have the same effect, notes beauty dietitian and nutritionist Lisa Drayer, M.A., R.D. "One cup of peeled kiwifruit contains more vitamin C than the equivalent amount of oranges … and research has suggested that high vitamin C intake is associated with fewer wrinkles," writes Drayer in The Beauty Diet.
Ginger = puffy-eye fighter"Slice into some ginger," suggests nutritional consultant Allison Tannis, B.Sc., M.Sc., R.H.N., the author of Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles. "Not only is it a great spice to add to your salad dressing or stir-fry, it has anti-inflammatory properties. Skin conditions like acne and psoriasis cause your skin to appear puffy and red, both of which are signs of inflammation." So when you're tempted to order Chinese takeout one night, go for it—and indulge in something gingery.
Buckwheat = Botox preventerBuckwheat doesn't sound tasty, but the seed, which has several antiaging properties, is found in tons of yummy dishes, like Japanese soba noodles. "Buckwheat contains monounsaturated fatty acids," says dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D., F.A.C.N, the author of the The Clear Skin Prescription: The Perricone Program to Eliminate Problem Skin, "the same fats that give olive oil its healthy profile. These fats are critical in keeping skin youthful and supple." Plus, it's rich in rutin, a flavonoid that may help the collagen in your skin keep its elasticity. Prepare to get carded at the door.
Papaya = glow enhancerExotic fruit like papayas can help give you an I-just-back-from-a-relaxing-getaway glow. "You can spend your money on an exotic vacation instead of paying for an expensive face-lift, thanks to this tropical fruit," writes Tannis about the carotene-, vitamin C- and flavonoid-packed food, which can help fight wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Oysters = time-stoppersWe all know that salmon, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, is good for our heart, but when it comes to skin-boosting waterfowl, there are other fish in the sea. (Or should we say mollusk—Drayer's list of the top 10 beauty foods includes oysters.) "People often think of oysters as an aphrodisiac, but the high zinc content of oysters is a great beauty benefit, as this mineral is a major player in skin renewal and repair." Romantic and antiaging? Pass the shucker.
Wheat germ = new skin-cell boosterSprinkling some vitamin B-packed wheat germ over your morning yogurt or cereal will do wonders for your skin, says Tannis. "The best way to ensure your skin is looking its best is to eat foods that offer your skin the nutrients needed to make more healthy, new cells. B vitamins are really important because they support rapid cell division—which is just what you want."
Barley = wrinkle reducerBarley tends to take a backseat to oats in our diet, but it may be time to change that. The antioxidants and nutrients (like soluble fiber) found in hulled barley are slowly released into the bloodstream, stabilizing blood-sugar levels and insulin, says Perricone. This stabilization helps prevent the breakdown of collagen, keeping your skin wrinkle-free. Who's craving a bowl of barley soup now? Yeah, we are too.
