Scrabster (Scots: Scraibster,[1] Scottish Gaelic: Sgrabastair/Sgrabstal)[2] is a small settlement on Thurso Bay in Caithness on the north coast of Scotland. It is some 1 1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) from Thurso, 22 1⁄2 miles (36.2 km) from Wick and 112 miles (180 km) from Inverness.
Scrabster Harbour is an important port for the Scottish fishing industry.[3]
During the Second World War, Scrabster harbour was the base for a ferry operation started to carry military explosives to Scapa Flow. Initially running a 40 ft, (12.2 m) King's Lynn pilotcutter "MERMAID" built in 1908, Antony Bridges maintained the service until 1945.[4]
- The Northlink ferry (MV Hamnavoe) leaves from Scrabster regularly for Stromness in Orkney.
- In summer months, Smyril Line operated a weekly service to the Faroe Islands, but this was discontinued in 2008.[5]
Far North Line[edit]
The nearest railway line is the Far North Line connecting Thurso railway station to Inverness railway station.

Magic Presto How DU moved a pollster 5 points to the left.Last edited Fri Nov 9, 2012, 03:46 PM - Edit history (1)
Don't have a lot of time but quickly two general points on the polling and prediction results. DU group wisdom was better than most of the punditry. North Carolina was largely written off as either a solid Romney or Lean Romney State. It was not. It was, until late in the night, a tossup state. It was the only toss up state that the President didn't win.
Here are the percents of difference in the 6 closest races (from CNN totals) Florida .56 % Ohio 1.92% North Carolina 2.17 % Virginia 2.96% Colorado 4.3 % New Hampshire 5.4% We were right that North Carolina should have been ruled a toss up, within the MOE and not a lean Romney state, even though he did take it, the only swing state that went his way. How DU Moved a pollster 5 points to the left At a time when Romney was looking like he was going to lose every single swing state, and major media is recording that there is a sudden down turn in money coming into the Romney campaign a new pollster emerges and gives encouraging numbers showing Romney walking away in North Carolina, Virginia and Colorado. His numbers go into the averages, right wing bloggers rejoice and, apparently the money starts flowing into the Romney campaign again. But many DUers call bullshit. And some ripples go out across the web. Astonishingly the owner, Douglas Kaplan (later to be known as Douglas "I am not a pollster" Kaplan) joins DU to defend his company. His responses are uninformed, weak and, remarkably, Kaplan is tossed off the site as an uninformed troll, not even meeting the admittedly low bar we have for trolls here. Curiosity is raised and I launch an intensive long drawn out 27 minute investigation of Gravis while I am watching Matt Damon try to figure out for the 8th time why he was in Germany killing someone and why does everyone keep calling him Jason Bourne. Using the advanced investigative techniques that escape the New York Times and the rest of the media I take the extraordinary steps of clicking on Gravis Marketing. I then use the seldom used "Google" feature (if you are not familiar with it "Google" google and it will tell you more). This brings up a radio interview and I leave Matt Damon in his confused state and listen while doing paper work. When they get to the heart of the interview Kaplan remarks that the South Carolina's significance in the Republican Primary was because South Carolina "was the first state to leave the Union" and that's when I knew that this guy who presents himself as someone who has managed "national presidential and state campaigns" was in fact a buffoon of limited education or self awareness. More investigation followed and on October 7th DU ran this thread to the head of the class stating, perhaps still a little too restrained and subtle for Major Media "DU Exclusive: Gravis Marketing exposed as a fraud" http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021489250 It goes out over the internet and various other sites pick it up. And then a miracle happens. Those states where Gravis Marketing shows Romney walking away before the DU expose suddenly jump back to the left by 5 points. In fact Colorado jumps back in just a few days. Let's look at the "DU Effect" on Gravis results (as sourced by polls listed with Silver) North Carolina before DU (10/6) Gravis had North Carolina at 8.7% for Romney after DU expose Gravis pulled it down to 4.0 and the final result showed that the Pre DU Gravis was off by 6.7% Virginia before DU (9/9) had Romney +5.3 and after DU expose Virginia was a tie (10/26) and the final result showed that the Pre DU Gravis was off by 8.2% Colorado before DU (10/4) had Romney up 3.5% and AA supporting Romney over Obama and just one week later PRESTO (10/11) Gravis found a massive move to Obama who was now up 2.4% and the AA community had changed their minds back to supporting the President. Gravis' pre DU expose poll would be 8.8% the final result. So to all of those FReepers, Cave Dwellers and Right Wing nut jobs that just rushed over and gave Kaplan a big embrace, we caught him red handed in the act and everything that we have said about Kaplan, and his past has been proven true. You can hire as many schmucks as you want to put lipstick on a pig but it is still just lipstick on a pig. So while we got the pollster to jump back 5 points it should be noted that his pre DU expose numbers were 6.7 to 8.8% off the final result (Human events how do you like those numbers. Do you still consider that 'bullying'?) Oh yeah and all of those toss up swing states that you reached in and got your hard earned money and threw it at the incredibly rich Romney so that he could appear to be competitive in for absolutely no effect? He lost them all except NC, which was a cliff hanger. We were right and you were duped. Oh and one more thing, FOUR MORE YEARS.

Mission Accomplished!
I can't tell you how disappointed I am that NC couldn't come through a 2nd time for the Prez. So many worked so incredibly hard to make it so and we did come extremely close!! Well done my NC brothers and sisters!! If there's nothing else to take away, we did it once, we'll do it again!! And big thanks to Grantcart and all the other people who worked to expose fraud!! |

4. NC was so close. Just so close.
Maybe Gravis' numbers discouraged some. Maybe it encouraged others to fight back. But of all of the great battles of the 2008 and 2012 campaign I find the stories coming out of NC to be the most heart warming. And we changed NC forever, and in that sense we have won. |

17. This election was not just a repudiation of Romney...
...and his horrifying agenda, flip flopping and vampire capitalism. This election also shredded any credibility that Dick Morris, Karl Rove, Rasmussen, Gallup and Gravis ever had.
I kept posting about the right-wing echo chamber, in the context of this election. Republicans and all right-wing radio programs and right-leaning websites were filled with followers who were absolutely convinced that Romney would not only win, but win in a landslide. They believed this ridiculous meme because they were force-fed fake polls, magical math and absurd notions that had absolutely no basis in fact. My favorite meme, "We've got the enthusiasm on our side! Obama's side has no enthusiasm!". Or how about, "Romney is winning with Independents. There is no way he can lose!" Oh, there were so many bizarre assertions that basically--were made up out of whole cloth. YES, Romney was winning with Independents. That's a soundbyte, but those Republicans and Fox pundits knew damn well that there was more to the story. Obama was winning handily with women, Hispanics, African Americans and suburbanites. I keep hoping that this may be a moment where some of these right-wingers realize that Fox News and types like Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and Coulter have continually sold them lies and disinformation. It's become cult like. Consumers of this gobbledygook never question it. They just eat it up. Maybe now--as these pundits have been revealed as charlatans--they will start questioning all of the propaganda. Maybe, just maybe--universal healthcare won't kill our nation. Maybe increasing taxes for millionaires and billionaires won't destroy the economy. Maybe, going to war--because Brett Bair and Sarah Palin talked you into it---really isn't such a great idea. Fox News makes so much money bamboozling these people. I hope we're at a point in this country where consumers of this hate, rethink what they're listening to and watching. |

51. No, I think that poll was error.
It was Mason-Dixon, not Gallup as I thought. Certainly there were a couple pollsters who were just spewing propaganda, like Gravis. MD actually is a polling company, and this poll was done for non-partisan news outlets. WHere they went wrong (and many of the other polls), was their LV model falsely assumed Dems had an enthusiasm gap, thus wouldn't repeat the minority and youth turnout of 2008. But OFA in fact had a strong ground game that didn't stop after 2008... they kept building the base in AA barbershops, Hispanic beauty salons,etc. The minority and youth turnout even exceeded 2008, which caught both pollsters and the GOP by surprise, and offset the losses Obama had with Independants.

36. I fear 2014 is too soon.
There will be a midterm uprising from the unwashed.
Our primary goal is to keep educating and registering Hispanics - there were some signs in Houston that such efforts in primarily Hispanic state representative districts paid off. It will also help us immeasurably if we could get an influx of presidential money in 2016, because facts are facts: Presidential races stir up excitement and Texas gets the royal shaft every presidential year - I'd be surprised if the last 4 democratic general election presidential campaigns spent $0.15 in Texas for every dollar given by Texans. Maybe a SuperPAC for that purpose. Hell, since we have nonparty voter registration, it could go 501(c)(3). |

take 27 minutes to get to the bottom of it by going to their website and see what they were saying about themselves and it was a complete stroke of serendipity that my mouse went to their link and clicked on it. We should not fault any of the media for not being able to unravel such a masterful puzzle. On a completely different note I was walking in the park yesterday. I saw a big rock. I lifted it up and there were several bugs scurrying around underneath that rock. This is a major discovery. Did you know that if you lift up suspicious looking rocks that you can actually find bugs underneath them? |

It's sounds so easy, but it's not. It takes time and commitment and a willingness to seek truth, as you get attacked for it.
You took these guys on. You knew Gravis was phony and you sought the truth. You changed things. Seriously, this is all it takes to fight the propaganda on the right. It takes going the extra mile. However, for whatever reasons, many of us just don't. The truth is--these concocted polls and lies from Fox News and dirty tricks--are being perpetrated by thugs. It's easy to back down from something that you view as bigger than yourself. Gravis was supposedly a national poll. Taking it on, might seem futile. However, you did it. You really are a hero. I think people like you--who refused to take the lies and crimes--were critical in Obama's win. This time, we refused to accept dirty polls. We refused to step out of a 3 hour voting line. We refused to accept tea partiers inside our polling locations. We refused to back down to voter suppression and intimidation. This is the year, where Democrats decides that we were done being doormats for Republican bullies. You are an amazing example of that bravery--and you should be really proud of yourself! |

25. Count the chickens but don't sell the farm just yet
The billionaires and the others that would want to be and support them like the mantra of double down. You can bet they won't just give up because they lost this one. They will be back, just like the cockroaches they are. I figure it might take three or four cycles for them to give up, hopefully by then the world will be a much different place by then

TYLER, Texas (AP) - Authorities in East Texas are investigating an apparent murder-suicide in which three people were found dead in and around a burning home.
Marion County Sheriff David McKnight tells KLTV in Tyler that a fire was reported at a home around 2 a.m. Monday. Firefighters found a man sitting inside a car who appeared to have shot himself. They found two bodies later inside the home.
Authorities believe the man inside the car lived in the house with his wife and stepson. They have not identified any of the dead.
Marion County is about 175 miles east of Dallas.


text: One week left, I can't believe it! Today I am writing about the new Chinese tale that we (Group 2) have chosen to replace our previous Chinese tale of "The Dragon King's Daughter." The new tale is "The Crazy Bookworm." This tale is about a man who loves his books and he loves to study. He is too preoccupied with studying to worry about marriage or a life. The man knows he will find a wife in his books. Eventually, he does and she ends up being a beautiful "jade-like face" girl. She convinces him to become a more well-rounded person by having him learn to play the lute and make friends with high officials. The District Magistrate hears of his beautiful wife and decides that he wants the "jade-like face" girl for himself, so he throws the man in jail and raids his house only to find books. The Magistrate gives orders to burn the books without the knowledge that the "jade-like face" girl was hiding in the Book of Han. When the man gets out of jail, he is able to pass his examinations and earn the highest degree to become an official in the town of the Magistrate. The man gets his revenge on the Magistrate by taking his estate and his mistress and eventually gives up his good job to go back home. The story ends there but we decided that this tale would be a better choice for our Chinese tale because it gave us more of a chance to explore Buddhist themes. The details of the tale support the Buddhist themes and also introduce a Buddhist monk and a shrine. The tale also allows us to talk about the ideology of Confucianism and how the Chinese adopted Buddhism into their already rooted Confucian beliefs. "The Dragon King's Daughter" did not give us (what we felt like was) enough room to explore these ideas. It did not explicitly state Buddhist themes and we wanted to use a tale that was more comparable to what we originally had in mind. We are very excited to debute our podcast comparing and contrasting Buddhist ideas within Chinese and Japanese culture to the class (and the public?!?!) very soon, but for now, a simple project update will have to do! 🙂 Happy Founders Day tomorrow!

Evening meal 6.30 for 9&11 yo DC's is NOT 'too late'...
(141 Posts)I'm fed up of DH chuntering and grumbling if I don't get the DCs' dinner done before 6pm. I do aim to do it, and we all do have dinner eaten and cleared up before 7pm on most nights. But with the best will in the world, I get days when my timing slips. Interruptions happen, preparation takes longer than intended, sometimes I'm not on form, I get sidetracked and my organisation is crap. AIBU to get really annoyed when 'D' H starts rolling his eyes and making critical mutterings about what I should have done when and know darn well exactly what I should have done when but I was being crap and didn't ? AIBU to be even more annoyed when we then get an 'unexpected' phone call from MIL (who always did 'tea' at five when hers were kids) in the middle of our meal, and H then has to disappear into the next room with the phone, pretending to have eaten, with me being the one to keep the kids quiet in the kitchen?
He says he does this so his mum doesn't tell him off. I told him it was none of his mum's business what time we had our evening meal. And I don't think 6.30 or thereabouts is that catastrophic for 9-11 year-olds anyway, is it? 7.30 might be taking the mick a bit on school nights, I suppose...
Off to keep up with the ironing.
If he wants it earlier, presumably he knows where the kitchen is.
Pretending to your mother that you've already eaten wtf?
he sounds like a twat.
You don't have to answer a ringing phone.
Yanbu. My dc are 9 and 11 and we rarely eat before 6.30pm. Everyone was alive and happy and healthy when I last checked.
Your DH has issues.
We're lucky if we've started to eat by 7pm most evenings.
How does he help with meal prep other than rolling his eyes?
maybe your DH could help so tea is ready earlier. I don't think 6.30pm is too late for 9 and 11 year olds though.
Actually, mine are 9 and 12, just remembered .
Mine are 9 & 11 and no 6.30 not too late. We have dinner between 5.15-6.15 depending on activities, how hungary everyone is, etc. How ridiculous your DH pretending you have already had dinner in case his mum "tells him off"!
We eat around 7pm every night, sometimes later. With 2 and 3 year old. No one would eat at 5pm, it's far to early, and we are busy around that time so it's when suits.
I'm assuming at 9 and 11 years they are sleeping roughly 10 hours a night which is fine for their age. Surely they can go to bed at 8 and wake at 8 of they needed longer.
I think it's good as it Helps them not get into the habit of snacking all eve ( 5pm dinner, they prob would by 8ish)
Who wants to eat at 5pm? Surely only little kids and very old people who go to bed early.
Yanbu, mine are 13, 10, 8, 5 and 2 and we often don't have dinner till 6:30 because of DPs shifts, its fine.
its a lucky day in my house when we eat before 7.30.
Mine are 9,14 and 15. They have survived thus far.
Tell him to make it then
DD is 9 yo. We eat at times ranging between 5:30 and 7:30 - sometimes later if my brother visits.
It is mostly dependent on hunger and what we are doing that evening.
Is there really a cut off time for eating and after that your child's digestive system has a wobbly?
And why do grown men listen endlessly to their mothers and treat their wives like half wits?
Why can he not admit to his mohter that you don't do things just like her? Who is a cowardly git in this case?
Why does MiL care - is she the meals police.
If she rings tell her to go away, you are eating.
A grown man still scared of his mum - really? He needs help.
Instituitions like prison and hospitals feed people at 5pm so they can crowd the entire days meals into a single kitchen shift.
Now I'm intrigued as to what MiL used to do in the evenings that she had to shovel the food into the kids so quickly.
If DH feels that strongly about it, he can do the cooking or tell him mum it is none of her business.
Incidentally eye rolling and tut tutting are signs of disrespect and you should tell him to cut it out right now.
And if the phone rings before then just ignore it, how sad to have to check what time you're eating, tell your Dh to ignore it!!
We eat at 6:30. It seems to be a good time for all of us. DH is home from work and after school activities are usually over so it's just right for us as a family. DS is 6 and I have older teenage DDs. We are cleared away by 7 most nights and DS gets an hour of TV with his dad before bed.
The only one that grumbles a bit is DD1 but she is away at Uni and has got into the habit of eating at 5:30. I have recently discovered that this is so she can fit in a toastie or they share a pizza for supper.
I think it's very late for children 5 - 5.30 is normal but is not your Mil business
How extremely odd- do you really all pretend to have eaten if MIL comes? Why? I don't get it and I don't get what he's moaning about, is he very anal about time/deadlines elsewhere in his life. There isn't a 'set' time for eating enshrined by law and a 9 & 11 year old won't explode if they haven't finished by 7pm!
Tell him he knows where the kitchen is. And who the fuck does he think he is to tell you when you 'should' have done dinner for?
1) Ignore the phone.
2) If DH wants them to eat earlier, direct him to the kitchen.
3) I often didn't eat dinner until 7.30pm cause of my parents jobs (plus I didn't get home school until 6pm) and I'm not dead yet.
I live in Spain. Last week was my DD's fifth birthday party. At 6.30 I served up the sandwiches, crisps, juice etc ... a bit later, the cake. I was chastised, verbally by one mother - she was outraged it was so early. For 4 & 5 year olds!
I was mortified
They don't eat until 10pm. Even with the little ones. Me, at home, DD normally eats around 6.30/7pm. Nothing wrong IMO for your children, at that age to be eating when they do. It would seem completely reasonable to me.
Your DH is a bit strange though, worrying about what his mother thinks it really is none of her business.
I think it is a bit late and would aim to have diner on the table by 5.30 and eaten by six.
Then the 9 year old has 2 hours before bed.
Plus if school lunch is at 12 then it is a long wait until 6.30 for a meal.
But surely the children aren't home from school until 5pm? cantspel they are older children.
We very rarely sit down for dinner before 7pm and my DC are 11 and 8 (that's on school nights too).
Your DH is being unreasonable and his mother isn't helping either. Gone are the days when people worked 9-5 and had dinner on the table at 6pm. Families just aren't like that any more.
My own mum has a habit of phoning up whilst we're in the middle of eating and always ends up wittering for hours chatting away whilst me dinner goes cold.

If you're new to the credit card game, you're probably familiar with some of the terms and I'm sure that you're familiar with the rewards credit cards have to offer. The thing is if you don't use your credit card properly, you're not going to have the rewards work for you. If you think you're not going to get rewards because you're a student and it's your first credit card, you're wrong.
Spend Wisely
The first thing you want to do when you get your first credit card is to make sure you don't treat it like a piece of plastic. You're going to want to keep track of all of your expenses to make sure that you can pay off your bill in full. If you fail to pay your bill off in full, you're not going to make the rewards work for you. I'll explain why.
Let's say you apply for a credit card and you have a fifteen percent APR (annual percentage rate). This is the rate that will be charged to your bill that's unpaid. If you have a one hundred dollar bill and you only pay fifty. That extra fifty is going to get hit with the interest rate charge. If your credit card has rewards and let's say it's a point based system, you probably received 100 points. If you're paying that fifteen percent on the fifty dollars, that's $7.50 over the year. If your points are like Citi Bank, it usually takes about five thousand points to get ten dollars. As you can see by this scenario, your rewards won't work for you.
Discipline is the key
If you know you don't have self discipline or you don't think you know, try and apply for a card and use it for about three months. After the three months are up, look back at how you spend your money. Did you pay off your bill on time each month? If not, how much was left over? Even if you had a few dollars left over that you didn't pay, I hate to admit it but a credit card isn't for you. The rule to life is to buy things you can afford. If you go into the grocery store with five dollar cash, are you going to walk out with a ten dollar pack of soda? I don't think so. You have to use the same concept when it comes to credit cards.
By now, I'm hoping that you realize that it'll take some self discipline and motivation to pay off your bill on time each month. If you fail to do so, you'll find that your rewards won't work for you. Credit cards can work wonders and don't let the people who don't know how to use them tell you that they're bad. Let your own mind and self make the judgment and If you find credit cards aren't meant for you, simply stay away.

The authors of this article, Dr. Dean and Ms. Beck, are key medical advisors to www.yeastconnection.com a Web site I highly recommend to women based on the pioneering work of Dr. William Crook.
Dr. Crook, one of my first mentors and a friend who passed away last year, was the author of the classic book, The Yeast Connection, and many other bestsellers that helped millions of women. He was instrumental in helping me recognize that there was a wide network of physicians who understood the importance of nutrition.
Indirectly, he helped connect me to this network and I will be ever grateful for his guidance in this area as that was really the beginning of my journey into high-level natural health.
His great legacy is being carried on at www.yeastconnection.com, where you will find out all the latest insights on how candida yeast causes problems in your body, and how to alleviate them.
By Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D.
Pre-menstrual syndrome or PMS can make life miserable, momentarily or monthly, for 90 percent of American women. It's a mishmash of symptoms--bloating, cramping, tender breasts, irritability, food cravings and a dozen other symptoms--that can occur in the luteal phase of a woman's menstrual cycle (right after ovulation until the menstrual flow begins).
To the eternal aggravation of countless women through time, PMS can last as long as 14 days until menstruation begins.
PMS can be aggravated by:
Other dietary factors, lack of exercise, hypothyroidism and depression can also contribute to PMS symptoms that are severe enough to interfere with daily life for up to 40 percent of all women.
Listed below are some of the many symptoms of PMS:
Of course, these symptoms can be caused by many conditions, but when they are consistently linked to this specific time in a woman's menstrual cycle, they are usually grouped under the PMS label.
Scientific evidence now suggests that women who exercise regularly are less affected than sedentary women by the mood swings and depression often associated with PMS.
A Closer Look
Many doctors are now beginning to take a deeper look at PMS. Recurring and life-altering PMS warrants an investigation of the following:
The late Dr. William Crook, author of The Yeast Connection and Women's Health, suggested a connection between the systemic overgrowth of candida albicans yeast and PMS. He believed PMS develops as the result of a number of causes, among them yeast overgrowth.
Some researchers suggest systemic candida overgrowth may trigger PMS symptoms by activating an autoimmune response to sex hormones such as estrogen.
The normal rise and decline of estrogen in a monthly cycle could help explain the periodic flare-ups and subsequent quieting of candida symptoms, which can be remarkably similar to those of PMS mentioned above.
For women experiencing PMS discomfort who also had a high score on the yeast questionnaire, Dr. Crook suggested his special sugar-free anti-candida diet, oral antifungal medications and nutritional supplements could be life changing. A growing number of his colleagues are now beginning to agree with the connection between yeast and PMS.
As can be seen from the yeast questionnaire, women who have taken repeated courses of antibiotics, suffered recurrent vaginal yeast infections, taken birth control and/or had a diet high in sugar and processed and refined foods are at particularly high risk for candida yeast overgrowth.
Learning to Eat Healthier
Research shows that women most likely to suffer from PMS had some remarkable dietary parallels. They consumed more carbohydrates (62 percent), refined sugar (75 percent), dairy products (79 percent) and more sodium (78 percent) than women eating the standard American diet.
We suggest that women suffering from the symptoms of PMS consider the following anti-candida diet for one cycle and see if there is a difference in PMS symptoms. It is best to begin the diet at the end of the luteal phase, the day your period begins.
The first phase of the anti-candida diet involves eliminating all:
Foods containing these nutritionally deficient simple carbohydrates promote yeast overgrowth and literally feed the yeast organisms.
Replace all processed and refined foods with more vegetables of all kinds, including those you might normally eat. Avoid all fermented or mold and fungus-based foods, including soy sauce, vinegar, blue cheese and all types of mushrooms.
Avoid and Replace
Get rid of all hydrogenated fats and foods containing food coloring and additives. Add modest amounts of olive, walnut, flaxseed, sesame and other healthy unprocessed, unrefined oils for cooking and salad dressings.
Round out the diet with lean cuts of beef and pork, chicken, turkey, seafood, wild game, nuts and seeds. Modest amounts of high-carbohydrate vegetables, including potatoes (white and sweet), avocado, beans and other legumes, are permissible. Yogurt, hard cheeses and cream cheese can be eaten too.
For this experimental phase, avoid all fruit, which is high in the fruit sugar called fructose. It can be added back cautiously after the first month. Also avoid alcoholic beverages, coffee and other caffeinated drinks.
Charting symptoms, moods and general feelings of well-being over this month-long period can provide some powerful insights. Review our symptom chart. By the end of this phase, there should be a clear picture of the connection between diet and PMS symptoms.
For the next phase, certain foods can be gradually re-introduced. Experiment with fruit, brewer's yeast and vinegar one at a time to determine how they affect symptoms. More explicit instructions about the challenge phase can be found here.
Probiotics (live "friendly" bacteria) are an essential part of the anti-candida program because they help restore the natural balance of intestinal flora, including yeast. Nutritional supplements like olive leaf extract and caprylic acid may also be helpful. See descriptions for these nutrients at our Web site.
In extreme cases, prescription antifungal medications may be necessary while keeping on a candida-free diet and taking probiotics.

Students declare 'Fight Week' as brawls break out across PA high school.
ABINGTON, Pa. – There have been at least five fights that school officials are aware of so far this week, which students have dubbed #AbingtonFightWeek on social media.
Videos of several of the fights at Abington Senior High School were posted online, and the situation snowballed from there, students told ABC 6.
"It's all over social media. That's where I've seen most of it," junior Matt Spross said. "I think it's just ridiculous, everyone is fighting for no reason."
Freshman Carter Myers said "there was a bunch of fights happening early in the week and it just caught on."
One of the fights videos featured by ABC 6 shows two black teen girls throwing each other around a hallway, pulling hair and swinging as school resource officers pulled them apart.
"There have been five student fights. In one case, a young man was out of control and punched our School Resource Officer," Abington superintendent Amy Sichel posted to the district's website.
"I just hear a log of word, guys just want to fight and women, guys, girls wanna fight," sophomore Justin Ciesielski said.
"The police department's coming and they're like keeping everyone calm," Myers said. "The principals are telling us not to spread the rumors or anything."
"All time record for Abington, 7 fights in 3 days, Will we set the record with more? #abingtonfightweek" Tah posted to Twitter with a contemplating emocon.
Other students claimed a dozen fights have broken out since last Friday.
"Tensions are high here at Abington, tune in next time to see who else gets suspended here on ABINGTON FIGHT WEEK. #abingtonfightweek," princess tweeted.
Many of the videos of the fights were posted to a #AbingtonFightWeek Instagram page that's since been taken down, the Philly Voice reports.
"Before it was taken down on Thursday, the Abington Fight Club page on Instagram featured three videos of altercations apparently filmed at the school," according to the news site.
"One of the videos showed a student punching another student to the floor, before kicking him and then grabbing, lifting him up and throwing him backward to the floor again. At that point, a school resource officer can be seen rushing to the scene and tackling the fighting student to the ground. The video ends at that point."
Other videos highlighted by NBC 10 show two boys fighting in a bathroom, another brawl between two boys in a stairwell, and a third of two girls.
Sichel said school officials are working with Abington Police to investigate the fights, though no additional officers have been brought into the school. Police increased patrols outside.
She said students caught fighting will face discipline up to expulsion or criminal charges, if necessary. No weapons were involved in any of the fights, and no students or staff have been seriously injured, Sichel said, according to PennLive.com.
"It's very disturbing, because you think kids are going to school to learn and … I've never heard of this happening at Abington High School," grandfather Sylvester Gomes told NBC 10.
"I mean it happens everywhere, you know, it's just a bad thing that it's happening here now," parent John Heard told ABC 6. "I just hope that it can be resolved, and nobody gets hurt out of this situation, that's all."
