Pathogenic Features Associated with Increased Virulence upon Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Cross-Species Transmission from Natural Hosts
ABSTRACT Unlabelled:
While simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) are generally nonpathogenic in their natural hosts, dramatic increases in pathogenicity may occur upon cross-species transmission to new hosts. Deciphering the drivers of these increases in virulence is of major interest for understanding the emergence of new human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs). We transmitted SIVsab from the sabaeus species of African green monkeys (AGMs) to pigtailed macaques (PTMs). High acute viral replication occurred in all SIVsab-infected PTMs, yet the outcome of chronic infection was highly variable, ranging from rapid progression to controlled infection, which was independent of the dynamics of acute viral replication, CD4(+) T cell depletion, or preinfection levels of microbial translocation. Infection of seven PTMs with plasma collected at necropsy from a rapid-progressor PTM was consistently highly pathogenic, with high acute and chronic viral replication, massive depletion of memory CD4(+) T cells, and disease progression in all PTMs. The plasma inoculum used for the serial passage did not contain adventitious bacterial or viral contaminants. Single-genome amplification showed that this inoculum was significantly more homogenous than the inoculum directly derived from AGMs, pointing to a strain selection in PTMs. In spite of similar peak plasma viral loads between the monkeys in the two passages, immune activation/inflammation levels dramatically increased in PTMs infected with the passaged virus. These results suggest that strain selection and a massive cytokine storm are major factors behind increased pathogenicity of SIV upon serial passage and adaptation of SIVs to new hosts following cross-species transmission.
We report here that upon cross-species transmission and serial passage of SIVsab from its natural host, the sabaeus African green monkey (AGM), to a new host, the pigtailed macaque (PTM), viral adaptation and increased pathogenicity involve strain selection and a massive cytokine storm. These results permit the design of strategies aimed at preventing cross-species transmission from natural hosts of SIVs to humans in areas of endemicity. Furthermore, our study describes a new animal model for SIV infection. As the outcomes of SIVsab infection in PTMs, African green monkeys, and rhesus macaques are different, the use of these systems enables comparative studies between pathogenic, nonpathogenic, and elite-controlled infections, to gain insight into the mechanisms of SIV immunodeficiency and comorbidities.

ABSTRACT: Damage to the intestinal mucosa results in the translocation of microbes from the intestinal lumen into the circulation. Microbial translocation has been proposed to trigger immune activation, inflammation, and coagulopathy, all of which are key factors that drive HIV disease progression and non-HIV comorbidities; however, direct proof of a causal link is still lacking. Here, we have demonstrated that treatment of acutely SIV-infected pigtailed macaques with the drug sevelamer, which binds microbial lipopolysaccharide in the gut, dramatically reduces immune activation and inflammation and slightly reduces viral replication. Furthermore, sevelamer administration reduced coagulation biomarkers, confirming the contribution of microbial translocation in the development of cardiovascular comorbidities in SIV-infected nonhuman primates. Together, our data suggest that early control of microbial translocation may improve the outcome of HIV infection and limit noninfectious comorbidities associated with AIDS.Journal of Clinical Investigation 05/2014; 124(6).

Article: Using the Pathogenic and Nonpathogenic Nonhuman Primate Model for Studying Non-AIDS Comorbidities[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: With the advent of antiretroviral therapy that can control virus replication below the detection levels of conventional assays, a new clinical landscape of AIDS emerged, in which non-AIDS complications prevail over AIDS-defining conditions. These comorbidities are diverse and affect multiple organs, thus resulting in cardiovascular, kidney, neurocognitive and liver disease, osteopenia/osteoporosis, and cancers. A common feature of these conditions is that they are generally associated with accelerated aging. The mechanism behind these comorbidities is chronic excessive inflammation induced by HIV infection, which persists under antiretroviral therapy. Progressive simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection of nonhuman primates (NHPs) closely reproduces these comorbidities and offers a simplified system in which most of the traditional human risk factors for comorbidities (i.e., smoking, hyperlipidemia) are absent. Additionally, experimental conditions can be properly controlled during a shorter course of disease for SIV infection. As such, NHPs can be employed to characterize new paradigms of AIDS pathogenesis and to test the efficacy of interventions aimed at alleviating non-AIDS-related comorbidities.Current HIV/AIDS Reports 01/2015; 12(1).

Article: SIVsab Infection of Rhesus Macaques as a Model of Complete Immunological Suppression with Persistent Reservoirs of Replication-Competent Virus: Implications for Cure Research.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: SIVsab infection is completely controlled in rhesus macaques (RMs) through functional immune responses. We report that in SIVsab-infected RMs: (i) viral replication is controlled to <0-3 copies/ml; (ii) about 1/3 of the virus strains in reservoirs are replication-incompetent; (iii) rebounding virus after CD8(+) cell depletion is replication-competent and genetically similar to the original virus stock, suggesting early reservoir seeding. This model permits assessment of strategies aimed at depleting the reservoir without multidrug antiretroviral therapy. Copyright © 2015, American Society for Microbiology.

LOGAN, Utah - Junior forward Ashlee Brown's school-record eighth double-double of the season with game highs of 21 points and 14 rebounds sparked Utah State to a 52-41 win over Hawai'i in Western Athletic Conference women's basketball play Thursday night at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. USU overcame a 12-point first-half deficit and used an 8-0 and a 9-0 second-half spurt to snap its two-game losing skid.
The Aggies improve to 9-10 overall and 3-3 in WAC play. Hawai'i slides to 6-14 overall and 0-7 in conference action, as the Rainbow Wahine have now lost eight in row, and Thursday wrapped up their five-game road swing. UH has now lost 16-consecutive WAC games, dating back to last season. USU won its second-straight home game, improving to 3-1 in home league contests, while moving to 6-5 overall. Thursday was also the Aggies' second win in a row over the Rainbow Wahine, but UH still leads the series, 8-3, as WAC foes and 8-7 overall.
Brown's 21 points and 14 rebounds is her eighth double-double this season, passing the single-season school record of seven held by former Aggie Ali (Aird) Marchant during the 2003-04 season, which was the first year of action after the women's basketball program was reinstated at USU. Marchant was in attendance Thursday night, as she serves as the Aggies' radio color commentator for home games.
While Brown was the only Aggie player in double-digits Thursday night, a total of 10 different players scored as all 14 Aggie players on the roster saw action, including sophomore guard Chelsea Burns adding eight points off the bench. Burns buried back-to-back three-pointers, a season-high for treys made, on consecutive USU possessions to complete the Aggies' comeback and give them a 25-23 lead, their first since 3-2. Freshman guard Jennifer Schlott also chipped in with seven points off the bench, as the Aggie reserves had a 23-10 advantage over their Rainbow Wahine counterparts. Sophomore forward Banna Diop notched three blocked shots while sophomore guard Jenna Johnson swiped three steals.
Senior guard Alice Coddington added five points and four assists, while adding two steals, to give her 204 for her career, inching closer to the school record of 216 swipes held by former USU player and current Aggie assistant coach Danyelle Snelgro (2005-08).
Hawai'i also only had one player in double-digits, as Keisha Kanekoa tallied 15 points, while Julita Bungaite and Rebecca Dew added six points apiece. Bungaite pulled down a team-leading 12 rebounds. Shawna-Lei Kuehu had team-bests of three blocks and three steals.
The Rainbow Wahine rallied from a 3-2 deficit with a 17-5 run to take a 19-7 lead at the 6:50 mark after a layup by Courtney Gaddis. USU cut the gap to 21-17 at the half, as Schlott hit a three-pointer from the right corner with eight seconds on the first half clock.
Down 23-19, USU reeled off the next eight points, as Burns hit a three-pointer from the right corner and on the Aggies' next possession hit a trey from the right wing for a 25-23 lead with 16:23 to play, and Johnson capped the streak with a layup. After Hawai'i regained the lead at 31-30, Utah State scored nine unanswered, starting with back-to-back Brown buckets and capped by consecutive layups by Schlott for a 39-31 Aggie advantage with 9:12 to go and USU didn't relinquish its lead from there-on-out. Brown scoring on a putback with 25 seconds left for the Aggies' largest lead and the final scoring of the night.
Utah State shot 20-of-61 (32.8 percent) from the field, hitting 5-of-18 (27.8 percent) of its three pointers, while making a season-low 35.0 percent (7-of-20) at the free throw line. Hawai'i was 15-of-46 (32.6 percent) field goal shooting, netting just 1-of-9 (11.1 percent) of its three-pointers while making 10-of-14 (71.4 percent) at the charity stripe. USU is now 9-0 when having a higher three-point percentage than its opponent.
The Rainbow Wahine had a slight, 42-40, rebounding edge, as the Aggies improved to 5-8 when getting out-rebounded by the opposition.
The USU defense forced 20 UH turnovers, the eighth time this season causing 20 or more miscues. The one three-pointer made by Hawai'i and the 11.1 three-point shooting percentage is also a season-low allowed by the Aggie defense.
Utah State remains in the friendly confines of the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, hosting San Jose State on Saturday, Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. (MT). Half of the proceeds from Saturday's women's basketball game will go to the International Red Cross to help with the flood relief efforts in southern Australia.

Perceptions of Kraft Dinner
- September 2, 2008 10:06 AM |
- By Andree Lau
by Andree Lau, CBCnews.ca
When I was growing up, Kraft Dinner was an exotic food. It was obviously not part of my Chinese family's traditional diet, but thanks to TV commercials and such, KD seemed fun and sure to be tasty.
I remember often begging my best friend in Grade 7 to trade her thermos of KD for my ham sandwich.
A study found Kraft Dinner is viewed differently by Canadians from contrasting income levels. (Ruth Bonneville/Canadian Press)
But once I had tasted KD, I realized it wasn't really the macaroni and cheese I wanted; it was the idea of having something novel and Westernized that I coveted.
I learned last week that Canadians' memories and perceptions of KD are astonishingly varied.
An associate professor at the University of Calgary co-authored a study that looked at people's perceptions of Kraft Dinner. It was really an examination of social attitudes between those who are "food secure" and those who are on low incomes and "food insecure" — where running out of food is a daily reality.
The study found that food-secure Canadians perceived KD as convenient, easy to prepare and popular among kids. They said for those reasons, KD was an acceptable (and popular) donation to food banks.
But for people on the receiving end, KD is seen as the food of last resort. To them, it represents money running out and food being scarce. Some said it underscored the fact they couldn't afford butter or milk to make the KD. And many parents said their kids hated the taste because they had to eat the mac and cheese so much.
The story we posted on the CBC site generated an incredibly interesting discussion from people who grew up receiving KD from food banks to higher-income Canadians defending what they sent to social agencies. Others recalled subsisting on KD in their university days, while others talked about the need to teach the poor better nutritional and cooking skills.
What's your relationship with Kraft Dinner?
Comments (39)
KD is nothing but a toxic stew disguised as food. Eat enough of it and you'll begin to glow in the dark. I loath the stuff. My Mum always made mac and cheese from scratch and now I do the same. Boil some water, grate some real cheese and then bake in the oven, not a big deal, certainly not rocket science and at least I know what I'm eating.
I've never bought it, but if I did I'd be sure to add plenty of meat and vegetables to it. Unfortunately, many people do not. And some people seem to think it not even necessary, which leads to disease like diabetes if they fall into a habit of eating such "instant" food often. I know someone very dear to me who did which leaves me very sad.
Allan M writes: "I've never bought it, but if I did I'd be sure to add plenty of meat and vegetables to it. Unfortunately, many people do not."
Kind of hard to add "plenty of meat and vegetables" if you got the KD from a food bank in the first place. When food banks have meat and vegetables to give away *at all*, it's canned stuff. Fresh food is a luxury to someone living on assistance.
The AIDS organization I'm involved with distributes vouchers for a local butcher and two local vegetable stands so that low-income clients with compromised immune systems will have a way to get hold of fresh meat and vegetables.
I love the stuff. I can make real pasta and real cheese sauce thanks to the diligent efforts of both my wife and mother, but I never leave for China without a box or two with which to treat my Chinese friends to an exotic western dinner. Really, that unique, synthetic cheese-like taste cannot be immitated :-)
I invite everyone to google the ingredients on what they eat. I once was babysitting for some young kids who were addicted to Kraft Dinner. I decided to look up the ingredients. Yellow #5 aka Tartrazine is what makes the cheese so bright yellow. Its a coal tar, industrial byproduct. In Europe, medical offices strongly recommend that this never, EVER be fed to children because it can lead to serious alergic reactions and potential health problems in later life. North america unfortunately doesnt have the same kind of guidelines.
Ahh, KD. What a treat it was when I was a kid, getting Kraft Dinner! Especially when my mom cut up a hot dog so that when it was boiled, it curled up into a smilie shape, and then with the ketchup hair.. Lol. And then, when my husband and I were broke and living on our credit cards because our tiny paycheques couldn't stretch to cover rent and bills and food.. If we bought margarine to make kraft dinner, it meant we were having kraft dinner a few times that week. (Or no-name mac and cheese, donated to us by hubby's grandparents.) I have to say, I don't eat it anymore, because I can afford to not have to. But to those people who say that it's sludge, or made of stuff that shouldn't be eaten: I'd rather eat kraft dinner than nothing at all.
I personally love the stuff, from the spirals to the alfredo, from the white cheddar to the old standby orange! I lived on Easy Mac for my first year of university because of the ease of making a quick meal while studying. It's a quick snack in only 30 seconds.
And for the record, Yellow #5 (Tartrazine) is also used in the following food products, so please judge its "toxicity" accordingly:
Corn Flakes
Mountain Dew
ice cream
I grew up eating this stuff hapily. To the point in high school we would all chip in a box and mix up around 12 boxes in a giant pot and make a time of it. Did this often.
Today, I work, contribute and still enjoy the stuff every so often. My spouse adds beef or lamb along with other stuff and then bakes it in the oven. Just killer.
If the food bank recipients don't like it or think we are just emptying out our cupboards, then I say Hey Dude/Dudette: GET A JOB.
I love KD! It's especially tasty with real shredded cheese on top with lots of salt and pepper! I rarely make it any more (I actually can't remember the last time) because as an adult I'm more aware of what I'm putting into my body. And KD is not exactly nutrient dense! And I totally agree that nothing can compare to homemade baked mac and cheese. So after reading that KD contains coal tar, I'll be sticking with the stuff I make myself!
As someone who has always been "food secure", I buy KD because it is inexpensive and quick. Ketchup or chili sauce on the side seems to improve it.
My home made version with old cheddar is way better and doesn't need condiments. But then, not everyone knows how to make the very simple white sauce base, so they're out of luck.
I can understand how people who get/got donations from food banks would have negative associations with it, especially if what they got were house brand versions. I tried some house brands; they were awful relative to KD.
Hey Jeff, That's pretty crass. I don't think you can judge people like that. That's the kind of thinking that breeds contempt for those that are less fortunate. People have complicated issues and are often not black or white. If you want to help, please do. But comments like that which obviously don't add to the discussion are really uneccessary.
My family all call it crap dinner. When you can't afford anything better it fills the hole.
Kraft Dinner was a 'treat' in our house because it was something that had to be bought in the store. I grew up on a farm where we produced much of our own food, my grandmother even ground her own flour. I remember finally getting to try it and getting very sick, I did not eat it again until I was at a friends place for lunch during highschool. I rarely make it or cook it for my own family, but I do make mac & cheese in the oven. I think it is better and so do they. We grew up with the notion that we should not eat anything that was processed more than twice..........looks like still the best advice today for dietary needs and for safety of the consumer.
I feel that if we spent money regarding social issues like cooking lessons for lower income families, we would be spending our money wisely. Instead, however, we spend money on the study of the social diversity of food perspective. What a waste. This also seems to be some fantastic free advertising for Kraft. There is such a mis-management of our resources, that we get lost in the conversation. How bout we spend the money on the study of food...and buy healthy food choices for food banks.
Well, I'm 43 yrs old and still enjoy KD to this day, though I admit I was using it as a last resort food in my younger days. It's very good if you mix in hamburger...mmmm...and lots of ketchup....mmmm...I'm gonna boil some water I think... and nuke the hamburger...
Adam S.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm KD .. with hot dogs cut into little pieces .. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I want some nowwwwwww
For me it brings back wonderful memories as a child.. Friday nights my parents would leave me in charge to look after my brother and to make supper, while they went off and shopped.. It was finally our night to eat our favorite KD and hotdogs... At that time it sure beat stew which we hated and would dump down the toilet as soon as mom left the room. Or vegies which we hated then too.. We used to eat every single morsel up, no putting our dish down for the dog to eat or fast flushes... Just enjoying every mouth full. To us it was a night with no parents,or meat and vegies,cassaroles all the stuff at the time we didn't like... Of course I have learned to enjoy all the above and cook it all the time. But I still love KD every once in awhile thinking of my brother who is now deceased and it will sometimes just make me smile...
To heck with adding vegetables to K.D. Cut up a hot dog and toss it in. Gotta love K.D.!
I think it becomes a 'comfort food' for people who don't eat it out of necessity. Those who ate it when they were young will probably always like the taste of it.
I never had KD as a child. My parents were boycotting Kraft, but they wouldn't have bought it - or Cheez Whiz, or white bread, or any of those brightly-coloured, sugary kids' cereals - anyway. We were rather pop-culture-food deprived.
When I tried KD for the first time, in university (surprise, surprise), I was very disappointed. It tasted like plastic. The experiment has not been repeated.
Those Annie's Pasta & Cheese boxes, on the other hand...
I hate the stuff. I won't eat it. I won't feed it to other people. I ate too much of it as a kid. I will starve instead of eating it. I'm a cook, so I know how to eat, and I do it on a fixed income. I teach all my friends to cook so that they don't have to eat that stuff. The best way to fix a bad diet is to learn how to cook.
I ate KD as a kid, and adult, with weiners and catsup and other variations. I have to say it doesn't take re-heating well. KD has carbs and protein and when you are half froze to death and tired it slips right down without chewing. Good if your teeth are bad. I am suprised the food bank recipients take such a dim view, but I understand, too much of it. From now on I'll eat the KD and contribute other things.
WoW ,poverty as different levels I guess.
KD with baloney was a sunday meal at my house.
Shudder! I will only touch the stuff in a dire emergency.
a) I'm allergic to the tartrazine. 1 mouthful = 3 days of wheezing.
b) It's far, far more expensive than making mac-and-cheese from scratch.
So, thanks, but no thanks.
Growing up KD was served in my household maybe once or twice a month when my parents were tied up at work, or just too tired to cook a full-blown meal. I always hated it and would eat very little. But as I grew older, and became a struggling college student, KD became my best friend (I learn that adding spaghetti sauce, hamburger, or hot dogs adding a little something-something to mix things up). Now that I'm living at home again, with a sister who has celiac disease, KD is not a dietary resource in my household and I'm not going to complain one bit.
There is one different type of food that I cannot complain about in this world and that is Kraft Dinner. Kraft Dinner is one of the main dietary sources of food that I have had in my house, since I was young. Everyyear, my parents would go to the grocery store and buy 4 boxes of Kraft Dinner as one of the items on the grocery list. After that, they would open up the boxes of Kraft Dinner and dump the macaroni and cheese in a big pot,3 or 4 times during the year and serve it to me with for dinner with Ketchup on top. MMMMMMMMM delicious. Now that I am old enough to learn how to cook on my own, I can always tear open a box of Kraft Dinner and dump the cheese and macaroni in the big pot with a few cups of water.
KD was always a treat, my mom and dad cooked mainly with fresh veg and meat. All good stuff but not creamy and cheesy like good ole KD. Have you tasted the knock offs? Good gawd, it has to be KD or nothing. And for the weirdos that cover it in ketchup lemme tell u something, you are not a KD purist! I have thought when giving to food banks that it requires milk and butter to be added and it may not be the best thing to donate. That and the fact that nutritionally it lacks. My kids loved it ( they are teens now and theyre more concious of health so its rarely prepared)I'll always have a soft spot for KD and yes, it is my flabby butt.
I would have to agree with many of the post in which they regard their relationship with Kraft Dinner as one of nostalgic attachment. In our home Kraft Dinner was a treat often accompanied by fried bologna, and to this day Kraft Dinner is just not Kraft Dinner without some fried bologna. I think that a majority of Canadians can relate to a story that has been posted in some form or another while each adding their own twist. I will agree that Kraft Dinner may not be the most appetizing or nutritional food out there but it is one of simple pleasure, that either takes a person back to a time or place in your past that could either bring warm memories or sad.
For me Kraft dinner was nonexistent until three years ago when I moved to Canada from the United Kingdom. I never recall seeing any boxes marked as Kraft dinner in the local supermarkets of grocery stores, but after some researching I found that it was marketed as Cheesy Past,. Sometimes global marketing under a different name doesn't tend to work well.
When I started going to school in Canada I always hear my peers throw comments around saying "I'm going to go home and make a box of KD" imagine their surprise when I inquired what this KD is.
I agree with Laura when she mentioned that when she tried Kraft dinner for the first time that she was very disappointed, the first time I tried I thought the hype surrounding it was overrated and it tasted horrible. Although as time went by I realized that it wasn't mostly the taste that was appealing about Kraft dinner, it was the concept of grabbing a couple of boxes, getting together with your friends experimenting by adding various additional ingredients and experimenting.
I think Kraft marketed the product as a means to give all of its customers that sense of nostalgic attachment. I know a lot of people after graduating from university like to sit back and think of the days that they ate nothing but Kraft dinner in university!
I remember as a kid having KD was a treat especially with cut up weiners and ketchup. Mmmm! I still eat it but not as much as when I first moved out of my parents house. In the first year out on my own money was tight and ate the NoName KD without milk and butter and it was still good. Better than going with no food at all.
"...while others talked about the need to teach the poor better nutritional and cooking skills."
I'm sure the poor have as good nutritional and cooking skills as the not-poor. As others have noted, eating fresh meats and veggies is expensive.
I dont like mac and cheese because of how it gets after about 3 minutes, but i have to live with it because our family doesnt have much money.
after a while it tastes like chalk.. with cheese.. and more chalk. D:
Okie, I've had KD occasionally and have always enjoyed it. I got sick in October of last year 2008 with Jeuvinile Systemic (Idiopathetic)Rheumatoid Arthris. I'm 14 with a lot of stress. I alway's figured it was because of just that, stress, that i got sick. True. But studies I've found also show that majorly processed foods and drugs can lead to stress. I'm perfectly healthy now, but i know that while i was on prednizone (a type of sterroid) to stabalize me...my appetite was through the roof and I found myself eating junk food...junk food...and-oh wait...MORE junk food. Soon enough i gained 15 pounds and was depressed for over 6 months. The majority cause....KD! I ate it so much...because it was quick and satisfying. DONT EAT IT. Heres what has helped me through rough times...
10 things to avoid and do with ur diet.
1. As a general rule, if you don't recognize – or can't pronounce – the words on a label, don't buy it, or eat it. Opt instead for the real thing!
2. Avoid products containing
Nitrates and nitrites (including sodium nitrite)
Sulfites (including metabisulfites)
Sulfur dioxide
Benzoic acid (aka sodium benzoate)
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
Coal tar
Propylene glycol
MSG (monosodium glutamate)
Refined or bleached flour (i.e. whitened using chloride oxide)
3. Don't eat partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated trans fats
4. Don't eat products containing sugar substitutes such as saccharine and aspartame.
5. Avoid products with a long shelf life – the better they do on the shelf, the worse they are for your body.
6. Avoid products that have been enriched. They have been completely devitalized during processing.
7. Avoid food that has been genetically modified or engineered. Nearly all processed food contains GMOs.
8. Avoid products made with ingredients euphemistically described as "natural flavoring" or "natural coloring."
9. Avoid products with added sugar – watch for words with "-ose" endings such as glucose.
10. Incorporate a multi-vitamin into your health regimen.
This is just my humble opinion ok!: there are times when nothing other than Kraft 'Cheesey pasta' (aka KD) will do. Just put a tin of diced up spam in it and enjoy. a great big bowl of stodge which has about 9 million gazillion calories, fat points and additives. you can make alternatives if you wish, with all the best ingredients but Kraft got it right years ago :-)
I like Kraft Dinner. It tastes good. The nutrition is probably questionable, but so are a lot of other things. Growing up, we had KD on occasion. Economically our family could have what we wanted to eat, whenever. I still enjoy it. Our family used the original Dinner, and then baked it in ramekins with seasoned bread crumbs. It was served with vegtables, and usually fresh fruit.
Ramen, KD, Rice. Even in good times, they're great, inexpensive staples that can help stretch the meat and veggie supply.
I've been in deep debt repayment mode, and even though I tend to throw the cheese powder in the garbage as fast as I can, the macaroni goes great with some browned hamburger, a can of mushroom soup, and canned tomatoes.
Hi I googled this article while my KD was cooking. I could afford a nicer meal I supposed but sometimes, I just like the taste that that I'll be full of carbs. It's like pasta candy.
Not a huge fan of KD,
if I was lower income and on a limited budget-which i am at the moment,you can buy fresh food for much cheaper.
I think most people,not only "poor" could use some grocery shopping lessons.
I find KD is very expensive compared to a plain bag of pasts and some vegetables.
You can always find a 1-2lb bag of pasta for $1-2 compared to a tiny KD box.
Add some seasnings (ginger and garlic are cheap,tin tomato sauce cheap also...)or even just pepper and salt on pasta is tastier than KD.
I eat pasta all the time and it is cheaper than KD if you know how to cook.
I grew up on KD only because of convenience and price. It was often found at the food bank my family frequented and because my single father worked long hours, my two younger siblings and I grew up on it. I guess it's programmed in my mind because of my childhood, but I can't even look at the stuff anymore. Not to mention knowing what's inside it.
KD was a rare treat in my house... and we topped it with either sugar or sour cream OMG with sugar it was so good! I haven't had it over 10 years I think... but after reading this article i want some! So bad for you.. but I have nice memories of me and my bro eating it.

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record. I guess I have alot of angst/confusion about
some of my symptoms and also going to the docs, so I try to figure alot of things out before I even go to the docs. Its just what I do......right or wrong......and I'm too old to change. hahaha
Have any of you who had colonoscopies had any residual GI problems for awhile afterwards? What I mean is, did it change your bowel habits for awhile?
I realize that my fibromyalgia causes me alot of funky reactions to things, and my responses might be different than most. As you may have read in my other post, I developed nausea and dizziness a couple weeks ago. Actually, it really started up the day after my colonoscopy. I had had a little in the month before that, but it really picked up after the colonoscopy. Now I'm wondering if my nausea might be from a sluggish GI tract. I've had more diarrhea than normal, but I've been taking pepto for the nausea, which actually mostly constipates me.
Just curious if any of you noticed a period of time after a colonoscopy, when your GI tract wasn't as "normal" as usual? Thanks!
(And thanks for listening to me be really anal about
all of this!) What a pun!

I had very bad intestinal problems after my colonoscopy for many months. I believe it was because I flushed out all the good and bad bacteria. i had terrible nausea. Mine started about
2 days after my first colonoscopy and it was terrible. I couldn't take my Nexium at all so just went back to Tagamet and then started on the Acidopholous finally when my Dr. just kept telling me to increase my Nexium. I was not having reflux as much as terrible discomfort. Not problem's with going to bathroom. Last coloscopy I started on Acidophalous that night and I had not problem. Maybe just a coicidence. I actually changed Doctors because that one that did the first just would not listen. worth a try to try the Probiotics and get that stomach back in balance.

Wow Canyonbabe.......that's very interesting. My nausea started the day after the colonoscopy. I've been thinking it had something to do with my using a CPAP machine........but now I'm really wondering about
the colonoscopy. I just didn't put it together for awhile........but I did wonder if the Miralax, in that dosage would somehow affect the functioning of my gut. Hmmmm.........this is good information to know. I'm sorry you had that problem, but it does shed some light on the possible cause of my nausea. I kept thinking it was reflux, since I used to get nausea with that......but this is different. I have absolutely no heartburn at all. My upper GI symptoms aren't even there.......just this horrible nausea with some dizziness.
Its so frustrating when docs (especially GI docs) don't know much about
a healthy gut.
I do have to say, though, that the doc who did my colonoscopy told me to try probiotics for IBS! That's encouraging!
the probiotics......I know they all have different combos of good bacteria in them. Do you think "Activia" would be good, or should I do some other kind? Thanks

Cathy, have you tried probiotics? Colon flushing (in any form, for whatever reason) is known to flush out good bacteria and cause bowel function problems (as Canyon has experienced firsthand). If you can tolerate milk products, just starting out on acidophillus milk and an Activa yogurt once or twice a day will probably get you righted in a few days to a week or so (keep at it for three weeks though; that's how long it took me to recover from antibiotics). Unless I'm mistaken, a bacterial imbalance can also cause upper GI distress because bad bacteria can back up into the stomach, or a lack of bacteria can cause food to not go down as fast as it should, or something to that effect. If you can't tolerate the milk products, then try a probiotic. Acidophillus pills seem to be the least jolting on my system (Culturelle is a big jolt), but even so, I prefer to take them at night so I can sleep through the gas. I can't remember, though, if it's Des or Lil who is the exact opposite--Culturelle is easier on her than the acidophillus pills. Like anything with the guts, you will have to experiment to see what works best on you. But the acidophillus milk and yogurt are the most mild and the least likely to start you off with gas pains.
Whenever I get bowel problems now that aren't helped very much by the medicine I'm already on, I start in on the probiotics. That tends to fix me up (although it doesn't seem to be working very well on me right now; I either need more probiotics or examine my diet; I'm beginning to wonder about
Sweet N' Low; I've been drinking Kool-Aid with it in it by the pitchers-full; normally I don't have a problem with it, but I may be in it too much).

Thanks Keriamon,
I just didn't know that about
flushing everything out. I wished I had known about
it 2 weeks ago! What's weird is I started eating Activia again about
4 days ago, and today was actually tolerable for me. Of course......I just made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow! Isn't that the way it goes. All I needed to feel better was make that doctor's appointment! hahaha
I will be so happy if the nausea ends up being from the clean-out, and not my CPAP machine!
I usually take probiotics, but they had been giving me some GI upsets, so I figured I'd stop them for awhile. Now I know I should have started them up right after the scope. Live and learn! Thanks so much everyone for helping me figure this out!

Hi Cathy,
I hate to say it but I doubt the probiotics were causing you GI upsets. They help. Unless, of course, you started taking a new probiotic. Sometimes your body just needs time to adjust to a new kind. If you were taking the same one, however, it should not cause upset.
I hope starting back up on the probiotics/Activia will help you. Good luck!!!

Reviews Comments: I See A Funny Cartoon in Your Future
I See A Funny Cartoon in Your Future
I'm sorry, but this episode finally made me think the Powerpuff Girls needed to fly away. The colors were blindingly bright (especially in the end credits!), the voices were annoying (especially the Narrator's, they must have paid him by the hour or something, he just kept talking throughout the whole episode!) and the villain whose name I forgot had an accent that vaguely "homaged"/ripped off someone's from Rocky and Bullwinkle—plus, the duck sidekick seemed to be (to Chris Savino, at least) an "odd" choice for a villain in his mind. Adding a funny flashback to the "bug-eyed freaks" lampshade made in the movie, the artwork has been painstakingly rendered to make the Powerpuff Girls into—bug eyed freaks. That's it. Bug eyed freaks with a decade's worth of publicity and merchandise. Worse, if the bad art and the voices didn't make you strain for the TV remote, then the white/blue HD Townsville intro, coupled with the irritating colors of the end credits will. In fact, the only thing I found marginally exciting about the episode was the END CREDITS since the narrator finally shuts up and the horrific episode ends. Watch the first season on up until you start noticing colors getting vibrantly technocolor. Then turn off the TV. You would have reached the Savino Zone, where irritating colors and bad writing rule.
The whole episode was an Homage to The Rocky And Bullwinkle Show. Everything was done In The Style Of Rocky And Bullwinkle. That's the Point of the Episode.
comment #11181 troacctid 2nd Nov 11
Yes, but they should have done it in a more thought-out manner. The difference between a homage and a shallow parody is how well it's done. The Rocky/Bullwinkle 'homage' was nothing more than a frantic mess.
comment #11215 Frankiefoster 3rd Nov 11
I can't speak to the colors, but the Narrator kept talking because that's how the Narrator on R&B behaved, the duck was there entirely to help perpetuate the sort of awful puns R&B ran on, and the voice being "ripped off" was provided by June Foray, the woman who voiced villain Natasha Fatale (as well as Rocky) on R&B. Your review feels a bit like someone with no knowledge of Star Wars going to see Space Balls, picking at the costume and set design, and then deciding that maybe Mel Brooks should retire.
comment #20226 Wackd 16th Jul 13
It also helps if the viewer is familiar with Rocky and Bulwinkle in the first place and realize it is in fact an homage. Because if you don't, then this episode does indeed seem a bit off from the rest of the series.
comment #24368 Redmess 12th May 14
Why does everyone agreed on this stupid shit?!
comment #24384 Sera235 13th May 14
The amount of work put into this entire series was not hard work at all. In other words, the writers did not work very hard on this series, especially compared to other cartoons ranging from Rugrats to Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and even more especially, cartoons made in decades long past. So this review isn't really going far enough in criticism of The Powerpuff Girls, though I do kind of see where the reviewer is going.
comment #27163 Classicalfan626 5th Dec 14
Making something with a minimalist art style on a lower budget than your predecessors does not automatically mean you're working less hard.
comment #27170 Wackd 5th Dec 14
True, but in this case, again, the writers did not work that hard on The Powerpuff Girls to begin with. After season 4, the effort put into the show was even less. And the Dance Pantsed special that premiered in January 2014 had even less effort put into it than even the later two season of the series. Mike, Lu & Og, for instance, had as much hard work put into it as The Powerpuff Girls. The latter was much more successful given the brief window of high popularity it had in the tail end of 1999 and in the vast majority of 2000. The Powerpuff Girls I think deserved to have barely more success than Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, and Mike, Lu & Og.
comment #27176 Classicalfan626 6th Dec 14
...how the hell do you know exactly how much effort was put in?
comment #27229 Wackd 10th Dec 14
You know, I was just making an educated guess based on observation. And it's all a matter of opinion, anyway.
comment #27230 Classicalfan626 10th Dec 14
I found the show to extremely well made "how much work" you think they put into has little bearing.

MLPs possess unique governance characteristics as compared to corporations.The number of master limited partnerships (MLPs) has grown significantly over the past five years, increasing from 59 in 2009 to over 100 in 2013. An MLP is a partnership or limited liability company that is traded on a stock exchange. In contrast to corporations, partnerships generally do not pay federal income tax at the entity level. However, publicly traded partnerships are taxed as corporations unless 90 percent of the gross income is "qualifying income." The most prominent category of qualifying income relates to natural resources activities.
This article examines the unique governance characteristics of MLPs.
1. General Structure An MLP has both limited partners and a general partner. The general partner possesses the exclusive management powers over the business and affairs of the MLP and the Board of Directors is typically at this level. Directors owe duties to the MLP and all of its unitholders (including the sponsor) under the MLP's partnership agreement.

They are designed to store power to be made available to the amplifier under extreme current draw. Aluminum capacitors have very fast charge/discharge times.

One sheet ought to do it but two sheets sandwiched under frosted glass gives pretty good safelight protection.
I like the idea of the LED lamps. Their bandwidth is so narrow that they are virtually monochromatic like a sodium vapor lamp. The next time I am in the market for safelights I'll definitely be looking into LEDs.
(BTW: Do sodium vapor safelights give anybody else a headache after you've been working in them for a while?)

Regional overview
Regional overview
Updated to Q2 2015
Second-quarter (Q2) European polyacetal (POM) contract prices settled at a rollover to slight decrease, amid stable demand. Although imports have decreased, the market remained long, which provided some price pressure.
POM quarterly contract prices were assessed at €2.15-2.23/kg FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe), a €0.02/kg decrease on the high end of the range.
The decrease in imports from Asia following the fall in the euro against the dollar exchange rate had a slight balancing effect on the market.
Despite the fall in imports, the general oversupply prevented prices increasing.
Sources said that they had noticed a decrease in the amount of Chinese material in the market. However, with Japanese and South Korean supplies still being an alternative to European material, there was little room for price hikes.
Throughout the second quarter, demand remained stable, with many market participants not noticing the seasonal uptick in demand expected in June.
However, this uptick was felt by some suppliers. Given the current supply and demand balance, combined with stable raw material prices, many market participants are expecting prices to remain stable in the third quarter.

Polyacetal or POM is a crystalline plastic often used for technical applications due to its strength, ductility (ability to be drawn into threads without breaking) and good machinability. Its properties make it suitable for click connections (e.g. bicycle lamp holders). The material is known for its stiffness, strength and hardness up to 120ºC, and is as elastic as many metals. It is wear resistant and has a very low friction coefficient. The colour is opaque white, and carbon black can be added to protect the product from UV-light.
