About This Condition
Fill up on fruits and veggies
Lower your risk of lung cancer by eating more foods high in anticancer substances, such as flavonoids, beta-carotene, and lycopene
Choose your meat and fish carefully
Eat more healthy fish to lower your risk, and avoid fried, fatty, or well-done meat to avoid meat-related carcinogens
Say good-bye to smoking
Kick the habit for good and steer clear of secondhand smoke, two of the leading causes of lung cancer
Benefit from B-vitamins
10,000 mcg a day of folic acid with a doctor's supervision and 500 mcg a day of vitamin B12 may help improve precancerous changes in some smokers' lungs
About This Condition
Lung cancer is a malignancy of the lung. It is characterized by unregulated replication of cells creating tumors, with the possibility of some of the cells spreading to other sites (metastasis).
This article includes a discussion of studies that have assessed whether certain vitamins, minerals, herbs, or other dietary ingredients offered in dietary or herbal supplements may be beneficial in connection with the reduction of risk of developing lung cancer.
This information is provided solely to aid consumers in discussing supplements with their healthcare providers. It is not advised, nor is this information intended to advocate, promote, or encourage self prescription of these supplements for cancer risk reduction or treatment. Furthermore, none of this information should be misconstrued to suggest that dietary or herbal supplements can or should be used in place of conventional anticancer approaches or treatments.
It should be noted that certain studies referenced below, indicating the potential usefulness of a particular dietary ingredient or dietary or herbal supplement in connection with the reduction of risk of lung cancer, are preliminary evidence only. Some studies suggest an association between high blood or dietary levels of a particular dietary ingredient with a reduced risk of developing lung cancer. Even if such an association were established, this does not mean that dietary supplements containing large amounts of the dietary ingredient will necessarily have a cancer risk reduction effect.
Cancer of the lung is the leading cause of death from cancer in both men and women in the United States. Cigarette smoking is by far the most important risk factor for the development of lung cancer. Air pollution is another risk factor. A previous diagnosis of tuberculosis increases the risk of lung cancer by 5 to 10%.
In its early stages, lung cancer usually causes no symptoms. As a result, lung cancer is generally not diagnosed until the disease is relatively advanced. At the time of diagnosis, common symptoms of lung cancer are similar to those of some other respiratory diseases: cough, blood stained sputum, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Lung cancer is sometimes diagnosed from a chest x-ray done for another condition. Pneumonia lasting more than two months may indicate the presence of lung cancer and should be followed-up with further testing. Later symptoms of lung cancer generally result from spread to other parts of the body (metastasis). These symptoms may include chest or shoulder pain, unexplained weight loss, bone pain, hoarseness, headaches, seizures and swelling of the face or neck. Lung cancer is usually a fatal disease, except for the minority of patients diagnosed at the early stages of the disease.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
The following lifestyle changes have been studied in connection with lung cancer.
Cigarette smoking is universally acknowledged to be the leading cause of lung cancer, both in the United States and worldwide. By far the most important way to reduce the risk of lung cancer is to not smoke.1
Passive smoke
Many studies now show that exposure to passive smoke-the cigarette smoke from others' cigarettes-significantly increases the risk of lung cancer.2 As non-smoking sections of restaurants have nearly the same level of smoke as do the smoking sections, it makes sense to seek restaurants that do not permit any smoking and to avoid bars unless they are also non-smoking establishments.
Other inhalant pollution
Inhalant exposure to diesel exhaust, pitch and tar, dioxin, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, and nickel compounds may also increase the risk of lung cancer.3 Exposure to asbestos is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer.
Radon exposure has been reported to contribute to the risk of lung cancer in the general population.4 Radon, a natural radioactive substance, can leak into basements from the surrounding soil. Radon exposure can also occur from the water system of houses, particularly when people take showers. Underground miners are also exposed to varying amounts of radioactivity from radon.
Eating Right
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
|Eat tomatoes
High in the antioxidant lycopene, tomatoes may protect against a variety of cancers including lung cancer.
Tomatoes contain lycopene -an antioxidant similar in structure to beta-carotene . Most lycopene in our diet comes from tomatoes, though traces of lycopene exist in other foods. Lycopene has been reported to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in test tube research.5 , 6
A review of published research found that higher intake of tomatoes or higher blood levels of lycopene correlated with a reduced risk of cancer in 57 of 72 studies. Findings in 35 of these studies were statistically significant.7 Evidence of a protective effect for tomato consumption was strongest for several cancers including lung cancer.
|Feast on fish
Fish eaters have been reported to have low risks of many cancers including lung cancer.
Fish eaters have been reported to have low risks of many cancers including lung cancer.8 The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are thought by some researchers to be the components of fish responsible for protection against cancer.9
|Fill up on fruits and veggies
Fruits and vegetables have many constituents that contribute to their protective effect against lung cancer.
Most studies suggest that as consumption of fruits and vegetables increases, risk of lung cancer decreases.10 Several ingredients in fruits and vegetables may be responsible for this apparent protective effect.
Flavonoids are found in virtually all fruits and vegetables. Onions and apples contain large amounts of a flavonoid called quercetin. Consumption of flavonoids in general, or quercetin-containing foods in particular, has been associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer in some preliminary reports,11 , 12 although not every study finds an association between flavonoid consumption and a reduced risk of cancer. 13
Researchers agree that people who eat yellow and orange fruits and vegetables-good sources of alpha-carotene and beta-carotene -are at lower risk for lung cancer. However, double-blind trials have shown that when nonsmokers supplement with (synthetic) beta-carotene, their risk of lung cancer is not reduced, and when smokers take (synthetic) beta-carotene supplements, their risk of lung cancer increases. These findings suggest that beta-carotene may not be the cause of the low lung cancer risk found in people who eat carotene-rich foods.
|Steer clear of sugar
People who eat high amounts of sugar-containing foods have had an increased lung cancer risk, whether the association may be due to other dietary or lifestyle factors remains unknown.
Preliminary studies have reported associations between an increasing intake of sugar or sugar-containing foods and an increased risk of several cancers including lung cancer.14 Whether this association exists because sugar directly promotes cancer or because sugar consumption is only a marker for some other dietary or lifestyle factor remains unknown.
|Try a low-fat diet
Lung cancer risk appears directly related to eating foods that contain saturated fat.
Incidence of lung cancer correlates with dietary fat intake from country to country.15 Some,16 but not all,17 preliminary studies report consumption of saturated fat in both meat and dairy fat correlates with the risk of lung cancer, even among nonsmokers.18 Lung cancer risk appears directly related to consumption of foods containing saturated fat--not only from consumption of well-cooked meat.19 In one trial that was unable to find an association between lung cancer risk and total saturated fat intake, people consuming skim milk nonetheless had a 50% reduction in risk compared with people drinking whole-fat milk.20
|Choose your meats wisely
To reduce your lung cancer risk, eat less red meat or opt for meat that isn't well-done or fried.
Consumption of fried and well-done red meat was associated with an elevated risk of lung cancer in one report.21 Consumption of red meat in general, as well as fried meat, correlated with a high risk of lung cancer in another study.22 People who cook with fat taken from meat (such as bacon fat and lard) have also been reported to be at high risk of lung cancer according to preliminary research.23
|Cut the cholesterol
Most, but not all, studies have reported that as dietary cholesterol increases, so does the risk of lung cancer.
Dietary cholesterol comes primarily from the consumption of eggs. Most,24 , 25 , 26 but not all, 27 studies have reported that as dietary cholesterol increases, so does the risk of lung cancer. No clear explanation has yet emerged to account for this association.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Beta-carotene supplementation appears to reduce cancer risk in nonsmokers. Smokers should avoid beta-carotene supplements, including the amounts found in multivitamins.
In double-blind trials, synthetic beta-carotene supplementation has led to an increased risk of lung cancer in smokers,28 , 29 though not in groups consisting primarily of nonsmokers.30 Smokers should avoid synthetic beta-carotene supplements, including the relatively small amounts found in many multivitamins .
The researchers who conducted the lung cancer trials have been criticized for not having used the natural form of beta-carotene.31 Preliminary evidence suggests that natural beta-carotene supplementation results in better antioxidant activity32 and anticancer activity in humans33 than does supplementation with synthetic beta-carotene. Nonetheless, much less is known about natural beta-carotene and questions remain about its potential efficacy.34 The effect of natural beta-carotene supplementation on lung cancer risk has yet to be studied.
The strong association between increased intake of beta-carotene from food and a reduced risk of lung cancer35 does not necessarily mean that supplementation with natural beta-carotene supplements would reduce the risk of lung cancer. Dietary beta-carotene may be a marker for diets high in certain fruits and vegetables that contain other anticancer substances that may be responsible for the protective effects. Until more is known, some doctors advise smokers to avoid all forms of beta-carotene supplementation-even natural beta-carotene.

200 mcg daily
Selenium, reported to have diverse anticancer actions, has been shown in one study to reduce lung cancer incidence.
Selenium has been reported to have diverse anticancer actions.36 , 37 Selenium inhibits cancer growth in animals.38 Low soil levels of selenium (probably associated with low dietary intake), have been associated with increased cancer incidence in humans.39 Blood levels of selenium have been reported to be low in patients with many cancers,40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 including lung cancer.48 In preliminary reports, people with the lowest blood levels of selenium had between 3.8 and 5.8 times the risk of dying from cancer compared with those who had the highest selenium levels.49 , 50
The strongest evidence supporting the anticancer effects of selenium supplementation comes from a double-blind trial of 1,312 Americans with a history of skin cancer who were treated with 200 mcg of yeast-based selenium per day or a placebo for 4.5 years and then followed for an additional two years.51 Although no decrease in skin cancers occurred, a 50% reduction in overall cancer deaths and a 37% reduction in total cancer incidence was observed. A 46% decrease in lung cancer incidence and a 53% drop in deaths from lung cancer also occurred. These findings were all statistically significant.
2 Stars
Vitamin E
200 to 400 IU daily
High vitamin E levels have been associated with a reduced lung cancer risk. In one trial, nonsmokers who took vitamin E had a 45% lower lung cancer risk compared with those who did not take the vitamin.
Relatively high blood levels52 , 53 and dietary levels54 of vitamin E have been associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer. In a preliminary trial, nonsmokers who took vitamin E supplements had a 45% lower risk of lung cancer compared with nonsmokers who did not supplement with vitamin E.55 While a double-blind trial reported that vitamin E supplementation had no effect on lung cancer risk,56 the amount used-approximately 50 IU per day-may have been too low to have a significant effect.
1 Star
Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Refer to label instructions
Preliminary research suggests that CLA might reduce the risk of cancers at several sites, including breast, prostate, colorectal, lung, skin, and stomach.
Preliminary animal and test tube research suggests that conjugated linoleic acid might reduce the risk of cancers at several sites, including breast , prostate , colorectal , lung, skin, and stomach.57 , 58 , 59 , 60
1 Star
Folic Acid
Refer to label instructions
Together, folic acid and vitamin B12 help cells replicate normally. In one trial, smokers with precancerous lung changes who were given folic acid and vitamin B12 saw a significant reversal of their condition.
Folic acid and vitamin B12 work together in the body to help cells replicate normally. In a double-blind trial, smokers with precancerous changes in the lungs were given a placebo or the combination of 10,000 mcg of folic acid and 500 mcg of vitamin B12 per day for four months.61 A significant reversal of precancerous changes occurred in those given vitamin supplements compared with those given the placebo.62 No trials have investigated whether either vitamin given alone or the combination of both vitamins would help to treat people who already have lung cancer.
1 Star
Green Tea
Refer to label instructions
Numerous preliminary studies have shown an association between drinking green tea and a reduced risk of several types of cancer including lung cancer.
Numerous preliminary studies have shown an association between drinking green tea and a reduced risk of several types of cancer63 , 64 , 65 , 66 including lung cancer.67 In contrast, preliminary studies of black tea consumption have not found that it protected against any type of cancer.68 , 69 , 70
1 Star
Vitamin B12
Refer to label instructions
Together, folic acid and vitamin B12 help cells replicate normally. In one trial, smokers with precancerous lung changes who were given folic acid and vitamin B12 saw a significant reversal of their condition.

Hi all,
I know there is a thread of gloves for Jango Fett.
Nordstrom were the main purchases, but unfortunately stop making them.
Along came Lands Ends gloves. Somebody did a comparison between them and nordstrom gloves.
There is also amazon.com version of gloves. Has anybody got them gloves? Is anyone willing to do a comparison of those gloves?
Are any Jango gloves able to be purchased in the Uk? Can't find any under ebay.co.uk
Thanks :jango:jet pack:skull:fettchest

Delaware Senior Lindsay Prettyman to Compete at NCAA Cross Country Championships Saturday at Indiana State
Related Links
Senior Lindsay Prettyman, a native of Newark, Del. (St. Mark's High School), will represent the Blue Hens when she competes at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center course. The men's race will begin at 12 noon ET followed by the women's race at 1:15 p.m.
Prettyman, who qualified for nationals thanks to a 20th place finish at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional meet last week at Lehigh, becomes just the fourth UD women's runner in school history to qualify for the national meet and the first since Kim Mitchell competed for the second time in her career in 1984.
For her finish at the regional meet, Prettyman earned a spot on the USTFCCCA All-Mid Atlantic Region team.
"I am really excited to represent UD at the cross country nationals, especially since it's the first time a UD runner has qualified in 29 years," said Prettyman, who has led the Blue Hens in 17 of her last 18 meets since the 2011 season. "It really shows how much our team is improving as a whole because I couldn't have come this far without my teammates working hard all season long by my side. I'm excited to go out to Indiana and see what I can do."
Sandy Gibney, Jody Campbell, and Kim Mitchell were Delaware's first national cross country championship qualifiers at the 1981 AIAW Nationals in Pocatello, Idaho with Gibney earning All-American honors with a 16th place finish. Campbell and Mitchell did not compete. Mitchell then competed at the NCAA Championships three years later in 1984 when she placed 78th overall at Penn State.
"Lindsay has definitely set the stage for other student-athletes to follow," said Delaware second-year head coach Wendy McFarlane. "Her performance improvement year to year just goes to show how our cross country and track and field programs facilitate success. She is competitive not only with her opponents but with herself and is never satisfied. Lindsay challenged herself by putting in the work that is required for further success. That is how I knew she would excel in this discipline and any other event she put her mind to. Not only is Lindsay a good athlete, she is a good person, she is humble, respectful, and a pleasure to work with."
The NCAA fields includes 31 teams and 38 individuals vying for the team and individual titles. Results and updates will be available at www.ncaa.com.
Prettyman will not be the only UD women's cross country runner competing on Saturday. The remaining members of the team will also compete Saturday morning at the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) meet at Van Cortlandt State Park in New York City.

Road rage nearly kills a South Euclid woman
(Bratenahl) - Police in Bratenahl say a fender-bender on the Eddy Rd. overpass over Interstate-90 lead to a road rage incident which nearly took the life of 27-year old Gwendolyn Young of South Euclid.
She and the driver of a pick-up truck got into an accident on the overpass about 7pm Sunday. Upon exiting their vehicles to exchange insurance information, the two got into a verbal dispute. Bratenahl Police Lt. Chuck Lobello says the driver of the pick-up got back into his vehicle and drove away.
Young, however, got entangled or hung onto the vehicle as it sped toward the onramp to I-90 Eastbound. The driver turned onto the ramp, stopped and got out of his vehicle. That's when Lt. Lobello says the driver punched young several times in the face freeing her from his vehicle. The driver then bolted the scene on the highway.
Young was taken to the Metro-Health Medical Center where she is in intensive care. The truck is full-sized, white or silver in color and Lt. Lobello says it could be a Chevy Silverado. Anyone with information in the case is asked to call the Bratenahl Police Department at 216-681-1234.

That aside, the turtle on the far left looks creepy. Only having one eye and the head is odd makes him look like an undead turtle zombie mutant. Now that I would buy.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't there once a shirt that referenced TMNT that was rejected because there was once a TMNT video game, and there was a no video-games rule that week? I feel like it had to do with Shredder, but I'm too lazy to go to shirtwhat and find it...

Italy is in the grip of xenophobia and hatred toward Romas which now has impacted those of Romanian background who have migrated to the country. There are about 1.2 million Romanians in Italy and many believe they are being lumped in with the Roma immigrants. Rome's right wing mayor, Gianni Alemanno, who has no love for Romas, has appointed Romano Badescu, an actress and singer to become his point person in reaching out to the Romanian population. "I hope to become a bridge between the Romanians and the mayor," she said. Her first task is setting up a free phone service in both Italian and Romanian to assist immigrants obtain information such as residence permits.
Some Italians are furious at the appointment which they deride in no uncertain terms. "What does this bird know about what the Romanians in Italy are up to," said one web comment while another derided the mayor by commenting, "it's scandalous to give this job to a 'lady' who has no qualifications for the job." Ms. Badescu has a degree in commerce and economics and argues she is an immigrant and understands issues faced by newcomers.
It is interesting that Ms. Badescu made clear to differentiate between Roma and Romanian immigrants. "The Romas and the Romanians are two completely different peoples. The crime reports have created this prejudice against an entire people." Of course, in her view, the prejudice created by a few Roma criminals is unfair to Romanians, but she fails to note it is equally unfair to the overwhelming majority of Romas who have never committed a crime. Ms. Badescu sings like the bigot she is–in nuanced tones.

When the woman in reception realised that we weren't going to pay the rate, she told us about a cheaper pousada further down the beach, so we descended to the sand and walked along until we found Sol Nascente.
It was really, really small and basic with the bathroom outside, but half the price of the other, situated right on the beach, and with a buffet breakfast included. I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so being able to eat as much as I want in the morning is a big plus for me!
We dropped our things in our room, and ordered fish and fried macaxeira to eat at a table in the sand.
That night – purely by chance – there was a Carimbó display in front of the restaurant!
A group of dancers – four men and four women came down to the beach and the music began. Carimbó is a popular music from the state of Pará (which is where we were), in which the dancers simulate the man chasing the woman, who avoids him. The women wear circular skirts which they swirl around as they swing from side to side and spin around, and the men wear shirts of the same fabric as their partner's skirts. The dance was really lovely… although I declined the invitation at the end when they called guests to join them!
We went to sleep early and happy, as there wasn't much nightlife in this tiny town.
At this stage we were still in blissful ignorance about the music in Marajo. It was going to get much worse.

Around the size of Switzerland, Marajo is the largest island to be completely surrounded by freshwater in the world. Although its northeast coastline faces the Atlantic Ocean, the outflow from the Amazon is so great that the sea at the mouth is quite unsalty for some distance from shore.
We'd decided to limit our trip to the microregion of Arari (the area closest to Belem!), which included Joanes, Salvaterra, and Soure – in that order – and spend about a week there. The large boat took about four hours to arrive, and we boarded it with all our luggage.
It was a relaxing trip, and we enjoyed watching the forested islands go by as we drifted down the river. On arrival it was already starting to get dark, and we took a small bus at the port to Joanes, which was the closest of the three towns. We'd heard about a Belgian-run hostel with a good book exchange, and asked the bus driver to drop us there.
The hostel was beautiful, set on top of the hill above the beach, with lovely breezes, a comfortable outside social area, and really nice rooms with comfortable beds. Unfortunately – as is often the way with hostels that achieve first listing in the Lonely Planet –it cost twice as much as we'd expected! We were both on pretty tight budgets and really weren't able to afford what they were asking.
It was already dark and we were still homeless.

After leaving the boat and hugging the girls goodbye, we caught a cab to the centre of town and found an internet café. I sent an email to Ricardo to let him know we'd arrived, and luckily, he replied almost instantly.
Not so luckily, he'd forgotten we were coming and wasn't in Belem! He apologized profusely, but I realised it was partly my fault since I hadn't sent a reminder email in the past few weeks.
Carlos and I posted a message in the Belem community group explaining our situation, and quickly received several replies from people offering to host us. Ah, how did I travel before I knew Couchsurfing? ;) We accepted the offer of a girl named Karla, who explained that her husband was travelling for business over the weekend, and she didn't like being at home on her own. We organized a place to meet her, and she came to pick us up in the car.
Karla lived in a very small apartment in the centre of Belem with a small dog who was so jumpy she wouldn't let anyone go near her, and who mostly stayed in the corner eyeing us suspiciously. We would share the sofabed in the living room.
Karla wasn't really one for going out much, although she did take us to see some of the sights of Belem including the Teatro da Paz – a beautiful theatre built during the rubber boom some 100 years ago. We went to a quiet bar in the evening to eat fish, and had a couple of beers each before going home for a quiet night.
Realising that we probably wouldn't see much excitement in the house of Karla, I suggested we go straight to Ilha Marajo the next day, and Carlos agreed.
Next adventure!

We call it the Rizla game because Rizla is a brand of cigarette paper in the UK. You write the name of a celebrity on a Rizla, lick it, and stick it on the forehead of the person next to you so that everyone can see it except them.
Unfortunately, given that none of us were smokers, we didn't have any Rizlas, so we had to employ a variety of methods including twisting paper into each other's hair and using chewing gum!
Once everyone has their celebrities stuck to their heads, it's a game of 20 yes/no questions. Am I a man? Am I an actor? Am I Asian? Etc. If the answer is yes, you get another question. If it's no, the game moves on to the next person. The first person to guess who they are wins the game.
I was terrible, and didn't win a single game, but it was all good fun anyway! Elvis, Monica Lewinsky, Shakira… the British girl continually guessed correctly and won nearly all the games, clearly having played this game many times before.
After the cachaça was finished, we went up to the upper deck and danced to the terrible forro music they were playing. We didn't know how but it didn't seem that important!
We slept well that night, and after 2 days of this, finally landed in Belem.
I'd organized for Carlos and I to stay at a couchsurfer's place named Ricardo, and planned to contact him as soon as we found an internet café.
Unfortunately… things didn't go quite as planned.

This time I was a bit wiser about the boat experience, and we arrived early to hang our hammocks up high. We also made a trip to the supermarket beforehand, to buy bread, crackers, vegetables, tinned tuna, and a large bottle of cachaça. I wasn't into the boat food at ALL and I didn't intend to eat it this time! We even learned that there was a small hotplate on board, so I bought some noodles and powdered soup mix as well.
On board we met two German girls and a British girl who were also part of the Couchsurfing network, and I was relieved to have the chance to speak some English for a while. I know I should have been learning and practicing Portuguese, but…. You know…
We spent a lot of time on the top of the boat, tanning our legs and chatting about our Couchsurfing experiences, reading books, and making macramé bracelets. During the night we opened the cachaça and some juice, and decided to play some games to pass the time.
We played a couple of different card games, but found that there was no place to sit on the boat where the wind didn't continue blowing the cards off the table! We moved onto a few rounds of "I have never" (an evil drinking game) but decided we didn't really want to get that drunk on the boat. Eventually moved onto 'The Rizla Game', which proved to be the winner!

In the evening we went back to the square to have another caipirinha. The area was full of 'hippies' , which is the common name given to artisans – travellers who make jewelry from macramé or wire, often with dreadlocks, and usually smoking their funny-smelling cigarettes. But these hippies weren't smoking, they were running a clown skills workshop for children! It was a lot of fun to watch – there must have been 40 or 50 people in the square, and they were learning to juggle, climb rope, climb on top of each other, and twirl batons. The children were having a great time, laughing and trying to better each other.
The nightlife was pretty much non-existent after sundown in Alter do Chao, so we generally slept quite early and woke up early to appreciate the beaches.
After a couple of days, Juan had to leave to continue his journey, but Carlos and I decided to stay on a bit longer. We found a man renting out paddleboats, which I confess to loving, but the best thing was an enormous swan boat that awoke the child inside me. Carlos was too embarrassed to translate for me, so I went over the guy and asked him in portunhol how much it would cost to rent the swan boat.
After I'd closed the transaction I of course forced Carlos to join me in the swan, which he did without too much complaining. In fact, the boat was heavy, difficult to turn, and kind of a pain, but we did get some excellent photos from the experience.
After a week of this – fish, beer, caipirinhas, beaches – it was time to get moving again.
Back on the boat!

The next day we hired kayaks and went out to explore the area.
Alter do Chao is at the junction of two rivers, Tapajós and Amazonas, which don't mix. Because of this, one side of the island has brown water, and the other side is bright blue. You can see from my pictures the huge difference in the water.
The size and shape of Alter do Chao differs hugely at different times of year, as the rivers rise and fall. In our kayak trip we came across the roofs of bars and restaurants. When we were there, only the thatched tops were visible, and as we got closer we found that refrigerators and other appliances had been secured to the ceiling with rope! Later in the year, there would be a stretch of beach here, and the these bars would be full of tourists sipping caipirinhas and eating fish.
In Alter do Chao I also discovered the key to the mystery of blonde leg hair. You see, ever since I'd arrived in Manaus, I'd noticed a lot of women in this region had dark colouring, but blonde arm and leg hairs. I'd found this odd, but of course – it's not something you can ask a stranger about. In Alter do Chao we came across numerous women on the beach covering themselves with a kind of white cream and laying in the sun for a while, before washing it off in the water.
Seemed more complicated than waxing or shaving to me, but oh well… each to their own…

Carlos was the kind of guy who laughed at you when you make a mistake, and this drives me crazy. Don't patronize me you jerk… it's your freaking language, of COURSE you speak it better than me! Arrgghh! I stopped trying altogether because of the supreme irritation I felt every time he chuckled at my errors. And of course, with Carlos around, I didn't HAVE to speak Portuguese. I make him translate for me everywhere, sending him to buy beers or speak to the staff when necessary. My Portuguese was not coming along at all, and I hadn't even started looking at the book Suelem had lent me.
It was ok; I still had plenty of time…
The next day we pulled into Santarem, and the 3 of us caught a bus to Alter do Chao, which is only about an hour away. We found ourselves a cheap hotel where we all shared a room, and changed immediately into beach gear.
Alter do Chao was beautiful! In fact, in 2009 it was chosen by English newspaper The Guardian as the most beautiful freshwater beach in the world. The town was tiny, and the beaches were lovely. It was already afternoon so we didn't do much on the first day, just ate a fish lunch on the beach (yep… I had already decided that I was going to at least start eating fish), and then had some caipirinhas in the square. Actually, this was my first ever caipirinha – a typical Brazilian cocktail made from cachaça, lime, and sugar.
Delicious. I saw more of these caipirinhas in my future.

The food was all about the red meat. We were served a kind of stew with meat and vegetables, and the best I could do was pick the meat out and put it on Carlos's plate. Of course, the liquid was all meaty, and the vegetable were cooked in the juice of the meat, but as they say – beggars can't be choosers. So mostly I ate bread, rice and some meat-soaked vegetables.

The American Antiquarian Society has a collection of nearly 7,000 directories published before 1877. It is one of the largest in the United States, and includes most of the earliest directories printed in America. The amount of information contained in this collection is astonishing. It is also very much a reflection of the growth and development of the country itself.
The first American directory, published in The South Carolina and Georgia Almanac for1782, contained a list of 304 names indicating the trades or professions and addresses of the residents of Charleston, South Carolina. Three years later, in October 1785, Macpherson's Directory for the City and Suburbs of Philadelphia, was the first directory in the United States to be published separately. This was followed a month later by Francis White's, The Philadelphia Directory.
Obviously, the essential purpose of a directory is to provide information, but these early ones -- produced just as the Revolutionary War was ending, or shortly thereafter -- also suggest the need to create a sense of order and solidity in a new society. Although these early directories were modest in comparison with later publications -- most were the size of a pamphlet or a small book -- the titles convey the impression of a comprehensive vision. The Boston directory of 1789, for example, had the title: The Boston Directory containing a list of merchants, mechanics, traders, and others, of the town of Boston, in order to enable strangers to find the residence of any person. To which is added, publick offices, where, and by whom kept. Barristers and attorneys at law, and where residing. Physicians, surgeons, and their places of abode. President, directors, days and hours of business at the bank. Names and places of abode of all the engine-men. Illustrated with a plan of the town of Boston. A map, or plan of the town, so that a "stranger" could find his way, was also included in other directories of the time.
Additional information, some of it substantial, began to be included quite early. James Hardie's, The Philadelphia directory and register.. .[1794], for example, included an account of the Pennsylvania Hospital, "the design of which was first suggested by the late Dr. Thomas Bond, for the purpose of relieving the sick poor, whether afflicted in body or mind." Both Hardie's 1794 directory and Cornelius William Stafford's, The Philadelphia directory, for 1798, tell of yellow fever epidemics and their effects on the city, the latter account being shorter than the former by two pages and having the following explanation: "The Editor intended to have introduced a copious account of the Yellow Fever, had not Mr. Folwell published one, and secured the Copy Right, which has deprived him the pleasure of inserting one. Nevertheless, the editor manages, even in so short a space, to convey the seriousness of the situation. "In July 1797," he wrote, "the Yellow Fever again made its appearance in Philadelphia, and providentially for the city, it subsided so early as the October following. In respect to its origin, the various opinions which have been advanced, render abortive the intention of giving any satisfactory account. The melancholy scene which presented itself in the year 1793, induced many on the confirmation of its being again in existence, to quit the city."
Within a short time, information became more copious and advertisements began to appear. In 1802, The Baltimore Directory... printed an abstract of the revenue laws, listed import duties, places of public worship and public buildings, and advertised land and water stages, pleasure gardens, and baths, etc. By 1823, it appears that the titles of directories were shrinking in inverse proportion to the increase in their size. The Philadelphia Index, or Directory for 1823: Containing the names, professions, and residence, of all the heads of families and persons in business of the city and suburbs, with other helpful information. By Robert Desilver, contained numerous advertisements, a perpetual almanac, a list of physicians, directions to the reader, a list of streets, roads, lanes, alleys, courts, avenues, public places, wards, wharves and shipyards in the city, government, court and town information, rates of postage, banks, insurance offices, turnpikes and canals, wardens of the port, custom house, ministers, consuls, and commissaries of foreign powers, the census for 1820, etc. In addition, Bailey's Washington Almanac, for the year of our Lord, 1823 is bound at the back.
The Miners and Business Mens Directory for the year commencing January 1st, 1856. Embracing a general directory of the citizens of Tuolomne, and portions of Calaveras, Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. Together with the mining laws of each district, a description of the different camps, and other interesting statistical matter, is of particular interest, not only for all that the title contains, but also (being a directory of the gold fields) for a variety of colorful advertisements for such places as Ferguson's Saloon at Columbia, which had billiard tables, and The Jenny Lind Restaurant, and W. Sperry, M.D., Shaw's Flat. Keeps constantly in hand a general assortment of provisions, mining tools, drugs, and medicines which he invites the public to call and examine. Other pieces of interest include A New Theory on the Gold Formation and a poem (extempore), which begins, In Sonora one hot and sultry day/ Many people had gathered together/ They were bound to drive the Greasers away/ And they cared not a fig for the weather/ For folks had been robbed and folks had been killed...
By the time Volume I of Gould & Aldrichs annual directory of the city of St. Louis, for 1872 was published, it had 990 pages, with advertising on every page, and its list of societies included everything from ordinary temperance societies to "U.A.O. of Druids" and "Red Men" as follows: "Cherokee Tribe, no. 4 meets every Saturday..., Delaware Tribe, no. 5, meets every Thursday..., Ontario Tribe, no. 6..., Meramec Tribe, no. 7."
The collection of Worcester directories extends into the twentieth century, and some Canadian directories are also included in our collection. There are also separately shelved collections of trade yearbooks and railroad directories, each having its own checklist located in the reading room. The yearbook collection is primarily concerned with subject rather than place. Thus it includes such titles as American Racing Calendar and Trotting Record, from September 1, 1856 to January 1, 1858, and Henry Chadwick's Baseball Players' Book of Reference containing the Revised Rules of the Game for 1867.
In 1961, AAS published Dorothea N. Spear's Bibliography of American Directories Through 1860. All new acquisitions are annotated in this bibliography as they arrive. The directories listed in Spear are available on microfiche and are shelved in the Society's microform reading room. In addition, we have recently acquired 453 reels of microfilm for directories published in the United States through 1880. AAS directories printed through 1830 are fully cataloged online. A checklist of directories that have not yet been cataloged is arranged alphabetically, by the name of the town or city, and is continually updated.

If the United States did not have enough difficulty trying to handle oil problems in Georgia and Venezuela, militants in Nigeria are threatening to upset American oil shipments from that nation. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta(MEND) said it might broaden attacks on oil companies to include off shore oil fields. Its aggressive actions in the region already have raised the price of oil to $94 a barrel. Militants have bombed pipelines, platforms, gas plants and oil fields. Mend argues it is fighting for more local control of the region's oil wealth so more of the profit is retained at the source of oil.
Mend has warned oil workers to leave the area before fighting intensifies. They are ready to expand the range of attacks to include offshore facilities. As fighting continues, and the possibility of reducing oil exports rises, the United States consumer will be hurting.

i was wondering if anyone has ever done a multi day up to a week upland road trip? i am from illinois and have a dog that was raised on pen raised pheasants and has gotten her opportunities at wild pheasants and quail and done pretty well. but here in illinois, our opportunity at public land and good upland habitat is pretty limited. she's going to be 6 this year and before she retires, i'd like to enjoy some hunting with her for wild birds in a place where i am not so limited by boundaries. i have been looking at the strip of states from north dakota south to kansas. it looks like they have lots of public acres and some great programs where farmers allow walk in hunting. i'd be more than willing to knock on doors as well, but the more public ground the better, that way at least i'd know i have a place to hunt. i'm not necessarily looking for a place that dozens of pheasants are constantly flushing every 50 yards. but, i'd like to see at least a few each day. and i'm willing to walk as many miles and do as much hard work as i have to.
so, after that long winded explanation, anyone have any tips?
thanks much in advance

Love this! Shirtwooters do seem to prefer simpler to understand shirts, though, and sweet shirts with cute little animals or yet more zombies. I'd love to know you submitted it somewhere I can buy it, since it doesn't seem to be properly appreciated here.
How did this one miss the first time, It's great.
I'm crossing my fingers!!! PLEASE PRINT!!!

Looking at all of these entries, I'm beginning to realize that shirt.woot! just isn't the place for me anymore. It used to be filled with a wide-range of designs and I was almost always guaranteed to find one I liked.
But these days it seems like it's nothing but obvious jokes, cartoon or cutesy animals, or something equally immature. I've bought over 15 shirts over the last few years, but I haven't bought a single derby shirt in the last 6 months...
Sorry for the vent, but what it boils down to is that I like your design and wish woot would carry more like it. ;)
totally agree, best shirt I've seen in a long time

Hopefully woot will support the biologists out there and give this an editor's choice - otherwise, kev, please let us know if this prints elsewhere Very well done.

Ugh, yeah, I wrote to woot before and opted out, a week or two before this derby started. They must not have gotten it or something.

Why buy a Sig Sauer when a Hi Point kills just as dead? Why buy Grey Goose when Smirnoff gets you just as drunk?
Confession: One time, I was too lazy after getting home from work and I left my coffee mug in the Miata. I'll turn it in ASAP.
This is why I don't look at other people while I'm driving.

I like the Passat W8. Saw one once in a parking lot, took a picture. But, I am a fanboi, so ...
This thread is fantastic...glad I was part of 'creating' it...
Carry on
In 2012, no one outside of VW forums cares that it's rare or was once top of its line. It's a VW family sedan with a big engine, not a priceless work of art.
I thought Spidey Golfs better.
Dang ! Alot of have for the W8 in here! I've driven a W8 and can honestly say it is a freaking amazing car! To me a german 8 cylinder wagon with all wheel drive and a manual tranny is an amazing car hands down! Sure its not one of the most awesome cars ever built, but still I dont see how any car enthusiast could drive around in one and pound on the W8 manual and walk away with no more than a ''meh'' on his face, unless he was biased against VW's in the first place...

Im in the coffee place with the young people, and Im standing in the doorway just fantasizing about walking around and just hitting their cups to floor, and I see this guy, hes like 20 years old, and he has the Awesome Possum shirt, just like mine. So I went, Hey, nice shirt! and he went like this, Pfffff, and he walked away like Im a piece of ****! And I stood there and I was so mad, Im just like, **** him, man! We have the same shirt! Its an unusual shirt! Its perfectly appropriate to ****ing do this ****! Why does he have to make me feel like an old *** just because I wanna make a connection with another human being? Is his generation just too cool and ironic and, Ooh, thats lame, older guy, ewww, ****ing young ****, I hope he dies. Thats how mad I was. And as Im standing there, in that anger, I look down and I realize Im not wearing the shirt.

Cultivating a Grateful Heart
November 24, 2011
"Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song." — Psalm 95:1-2
How do you tell God thank you? Do you do so privately during your quiet time with Him? Or maybe you write it down in your journal? Maybe it's just a fleeting thought, a whispered thanks, as you arrive safely home from a long journey, or as you witness the beauty of the setting sun.
The writer of Psalm 95 encourages us to tell God thanks in quite a different way. He invites us to"sing for joy," to "shout aloud," to come before God with thanksgiving on our lips, and to worship Him with music and song. According to the psalm writer, our hearts should be so brimming with gratitude to God for all that He has done that we can't help but bubble over with joy and shout out our thanks.

How about a straight pull bolt action AK?
My thinking is something along that line. One piece of tubing for the receiver. Bolt in trunnion so that if you wanted to change calibers just unscrew and swap in different trunnion and barrel. Tubing extends past trunnion for handguard/bipod mount with some type of dust shield. Bolt handle on left side so not to break grip cycling. Heavy or bull barrel. Trigger pack that is in a module. Stock pivots or removed to allow bolt and maybe trigger pack to be removed from the rear of the reciever. Not much left of an AK except the trunnion, bolt, and the carrier.

With an abundance of trendy and super chic eateries invading everywhere from the biggest cities to the smallest towns, why should you sit on the sidelines when everyone else is having a party? I promise, you can manage these places and still feel amazing in the morning.
Foodie Frenzy
Between long days at the office, sports games and ballet recitals, there are nights when eating out is an inevitable part of life. For the run-of-the-mill chain restaurant, survival is pretty straightforward. At this point I'm confident you all know your way around the every-day mall stops and how to make clean eating choices on the go.
But what about for the true foodies?
Believe it or not, there are still folks out there who go out to eat because they actually enjoy it -- not out of necessity! First off, there is still fun to be had in food, and hitting a culinary hotspot on a Saturday night sounds like a good time for many of us.
On nights like these, who among us wants to restrict themselves to only a small portion of a finely crafted menu? It's certainly almost an insult to the chef to start deconstructing items. But trust me, making this work is way easier than it might seem.
Portion Is KeyAbove and beyond, remember that the portions at a fab foodie institution aren't going to be comparable to the every-day "Joe's Diner". The ingredients are finer and the seasoning is perfection. Since these dishes are handcrafted and not lifted from the dark depths of some frightening warming tray, the flavors are a more intense and satisfying so there's no need for heaping portions and packed plates. It's not like one of those hideously kitschy chain restaurants where they make up for quality with quantity – and mounds of cheese to make the bland offerings actually satisfy you.
The One Request RuleSince the portion is right, go ahead and order the sinful seeming pork belly, just simply stick to the "one request" rule. Skip the potato (or other carb) and ask for extra veggies. And don't worry about sending your foodie cohorts in to an uproar – if the pork belly is that good, we're sure they won't notice your switch-out.
The Man (Or Woman) With a PlanSimple as this -- check the menu before you head out. Seamless Web, Menupages and probably the restaurant's own website will be able to show you all the options you'll have. This way you're not pouring over the menu and can have a gameplan instead of just showing up and becoming enamored with the myriad of tasty choices. But make sure to have a back-up – if you plan on the halibut and they're out of the halibut, you'll be way more likely just to say "screw it" and go for whatever seems tastiest.
Bag of Tricks
A few little tricks in your back pocket are the ultimate eating out fail safe. Sip that water! Make sure to get your water glass filled up as much as possible. It'll help fill you up and it will also give you something else to do so you actually slow down. The point of fine dining out is that it actually tastes good, so slow down and actually taste it. Another way to pump the brakes is to put down the knife and fork. You'll be surprised how hard this is, as most of us cling to our utensils as some sort of shield and sword of dining, but it will help you. And also, try to time these meals at dinner. That's mainly because once most of us open up our palettes to something particularly tasty it's hard to turn that off for the rest of the day. Keep it at dinner and you can even sneak a few tastes of dessert.

I think Belichick will utilize him the way Rex Ryan never did, as a Wildcat/Read Option threat that will give the Patriots another look. He won't take anything away from Brady, but will give the Patriots another option in an already explosive offense.
And this is another reason why I hate/envy the Patriots.

Hello, my name is Jim, but you can call me JR. I am a big fan of numerous aspects of the Star Wars universe, and I have already started on a generic Mandalorian armor. But I also plan on making other armors including Boba Fett and Jango Fett as well.
I already have the Boba Fett helmet, it just needs painting and finishing. It's made of metal, I was told it was forged. I am having trouble finding the right color flight suit, any suggestions?
I also have non-Star Wars projects. Most of those either involve my college work, charity work, or the SCA. For the Society for Creative Anachronism projects, they mainly involve Medieval armor and fighting, food, or alcohol. Speaking of food, I am also an award winning baker trying to branch out into other fields of cooking. I occasionally do work as a Developmental Chef so I am always trying new ways to prepare food.
I have just started my journey as an Engineer In Training so I am interested in ways to build from scratch. I have a lot of CAD experience, but I am just beginning to take CNC and CAM classes. I am hoping to combine my interests, hobbies, and training with projects like building as much of my Dented Helmet costume from scratch as I can. Anything I cannot build from scratch, I would like to later rebuild from scratch.

New Oriental Education Shares Bounce After SEC OK On Part Of Its Accounting, Analyst Upgrade
New Oriental Education's (EDU) shares have been under pressure amid a probe by the Securities Exchange Commission into its accounting and allegations of fraud from short seller Muddy Waters this summer but gained nearly 6% this morning to $18.07.
Late Friday, the firm said in a filing the SEC informed the company that it had no objections over the way it consolidated its variable interest equity structure in its financials, removing what Oppenheimer analyst Ella Ji says one of the biggest overhangs on the stock.
Ji upgraded the company's rating to outperform from perform, noting that the company's fundamentals stayed strong during the past three months despite the difficulty in the stock. The SEC is still reviewing the company's filings and the findings of a special committee to look into accounting issues.
Ji says she noted improvements in the company's annual report filing, "including incremental disclosure (risks, regulation) & new equity pledge, powers of attorney, & service agreements. We view the remainder of the investigation favorably."

Hey guys,
For those who have seen my Royal Guard helmet WIP, you know that I create a 3D model of the subject, then use papercraft software called Pepakura to unfold that model to give me 2D parts. Very similar to WoF templates.
Well, I'm working on another helmet now for a friend who wants a Boushh helmet for his wife in time for Halloween.
I'm basing it of various photos I have as there are no plans or blueprints that I'm aware of. So far I think it's shaping up well, let me know what you guys think.
I'm just staring to place everything and get the positioning down before going back over it to tidy it all up.
Attachment 25880
I'll update as I go along. Thanks. :)
