It looks like alot of reading but these jokes are all really funny. I took the time to type this all for you, atleast have the courtesy to read them.
A Texan walks into a bar in Alaska and sits down at the bar and starts to talk to the bar tender. Now he's sitting there bragging about how much money he makes off oil and how many head of cattle he has at his ranch back in Texas and how much of a big shot he is and how he's an honorary member of each state. So this goes on for hours and the bar tender is getting sick of hearing this guy talk so he says "Shut up and listen. Do you want to be an honorary Alaskan?" "Well sure" the guy responds "I'm an honory member of-" "Shut up, do you want to be an honorary Alaskan or not?" the bar tender interupts. "Yes" replies the texan. "Ok then here's what you have to do. First You have to drink a gallon of whiskey. Second you have to kill a polar bear. Thirdly you have to make love to an eskimo women. Not necessarily in that order and you have 24 hours to do this and come back here with some proof and we'll make you an honorary Alaskan. We'll give you a certificate and tell the mayor and everthing." So the texan accepts and says "Well since i'm in a bar I guess i'd best to the gallon of whiskey first." So the bar tender brings out a gallon of whiskey and the texan downs it as fast as he can. He then stands up and passes out . A few hours later he wakes up and walks out of the door. "I'll, I'll, I'll be r-right back" he slurs. 15 hours later he returns and he's torn to shit! He's covered in blood, his clothes are completely torn up, he's missing an arm and he's limping. The bartender is staring at him in disbelief when the Texan speaks up and asks "Where's that eskimo women you wanted me to kill?"
Two men are sitting in a bar talking and one asks the other "So how'd that date of yours go, ya know the one you had the other day?". " Oh just horrible" the second guy responds" Just awful". "Well why, what happened?" inquires the first guy "You've always said you've had great dates with this girl in the past?". "Well the food was good, the movie was good, and the dancing was good but when we got back to her place we started to fool around and just as we were getting ready to hit the sack she says to me "The only way you'll be able to have me is if you give me 9 inches and make me bleed"" he says. " Well that's awful. What did you do?". "Well I fucked her three times and broke her nose".
A Scotsman, an Irishman, and a Newfie are exploring the new world of Canada. So they're having a good time when one night while they're asleep they are ambushed and captured by a group of natives. So they're taken back to their village and presented infront of the chief. "You have tresspassed on our sacred land and for this we are going to kill you. You will first suffer greatly then die a horrible death. Take them away" says the chief. "Wait!" yells the shaman suddenly " Chief, it's our holy season. Should we atleast give them some dignity?" So the cheif considers it and says " You're right. We'll allow you to either take your own life or we will skin you alive and use your skin to make canoes." Well needless to say, the three guys are scared. "Well..." the Scotsman speaks up " I sure as hell don't want to be skined alive so i'll take my own life. Give me a knife". So one of the natives hands him his hunting knife and the Scotsman takes it. "For Scotland, in all its glory!" he yells and plunges the knife into his heart. So they drag his dead body off. "I won't be quite as enthusiastic as he was, but i'll also take my own life. Give me a knife." says the Irishman. So once again he's handed a knife. "For Ireland!" then he says something in gaelic and plunges the knife into his heart and he is also dragged off to have his flesh made into a canoe. The natives then round on the Newfie who says " Well I really don't want to be skinned alive. That would hurt like a damn. So I will take my life but I want a fork". Taken aback the natives all look at each other then hand him a fork. "I'll take my own life but you're not making a fucking canoe out of me!" and he just starts stabbing himself all over with the fork.
Out in the middle of the desert in an old west town there's a bar reserved only for the toughest coyboys of the old west. So one day in walks a cowboy who is a little smaller than the others and dresses a little differently. So he sits down at the bar. "What'll it be?" asks the bar tender in his most menacing voice. "Hmmm.... Well.... I don't know... Do you have a fuzzy navel?" asks the little cowboy. "What?!" yells the bartender. " Well then maybe a rum and coke? I don't know something sweet." cowers the little cowboy. "You queer?" the bartender asks "Cause we don't serve queers here". "Look" the little cowboy says timidly "I've been out in the hot sun for days and i'm very thirsty. I don't want any trouble, I just want my drink. I'll pay whatever you want." "Whatever I want? Fine. But i'm charging you $25 for this drink and you have to sit at the far end of the bar and I don't want to hear a thing out of you. You just sit, drink your drink, and then leave. Got it?" . "Yeah yeah that's fine" the little cowboy says so he takes his drink, pays the bartender and goes and sits at the far end of the bar. Not long after a gigantic cowboy bursts through the doors of the bar. 7 feet tall and 3 feet wide, all muscle. He slams his bull whip down at the bar, pulls the bartender over and says "I've been out in the middle of no where, in the cow shit, in the dust, and the heat for three days. I'm so thirsty. Give me the biggest mug of beer you've got. Actually just put a hose in the keg and pour it down my throat! I'm so thirsty I could suck the balls off a bull right through his mouth!" "Well moo moo bucaroo" pipes the little cowboy.

Latino Civil Rights Group Demands Fox Apology For "Unacceptable" Segment
The National Hispanic Media Coalition, a media advocacy and civil rights organization, is calling on Fox News to apologize for a derogatory segment demonizing the children of undocumented immigrants as "Children of the Corn." In an open letter [1] addressed to Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, NHMC president Alex Nogales called the segment "unacceptable," writing: "It is one thing for Fox News to routinely spread hate towards Latino and immigrant adults. It is quite another to demonize innocent children."
In a September 19 segment on Fox News' Special Report, guest host Chris Wallace discussed [2] the findings from Los Angeles County officials that an "estimated 100,000 children of 60,000 undocumented parents receive aid" in the county. The total aid is projected to cost about $650 million by year's end.
During the segment, several graphics bearing the image of a man appearing to vault over a border fence lined with barbed wire flashed on-screen. Text accompanying the graphic read "Children of the Corn" and "Alien Nation."
In the letter, Nogales wrote [1] that the phrase "Children of the Corn" "likens immigrant children to the murderous cult of fictional children depicted in Stephen King's horror story and its universally-familiar film adaptations. It covertly insinuates that Latino and immigrant children are to be feared." He continued:
NHMC urges that Fox News and Chris Wallace immediately issue an apology to Latino children, and that you send a formal memo to all Fox News staff, urging refrain from all anti-Latino and anti-immigrant smears, especially those directed at innocent children.
Nogales went on to note that studies show that such negative rhetoric "may breed hate and impact the health of not only members of the targeted group, but anyone that hears these messages." Indeed, a September 2012 NHMC report found [3] that Fox News viewers and conservative radio listeners are more likely to have negative views of Latinos and immigrants than those who watch more mainstream outlets.
The NHMC study stated that Fox News audiences were "more likely to agree that Latinos are on welfare (56%), take jobs from Americans (43%) and have too many children (42%)" -- all myths Fox News has repeatedly advanced [3].
Nogales concluded by saying that "Fox News must do better," adding, "At a time when Fox News' parent company is trying to attract Latino eyeballs, Fox News must understand that Latinos will not embrace the brand that hates them."
NHMC, which was founded in Los Angeles in 1986 with the mission of increasing Hispanic representation in the news, now boasts [4] nine chapters nationwide and seeks to "eradicate the negative Latino stereotypes depicted in all forms of media." In February, it honored actor Michael Peña, comedian John Leguizamo, and host Mario Lopez for "helping erase negative Latino stereotypes in Hollywood."
The Special Report segment has also been criticized [5] by Latino [6] news sites [7] and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. In a post that called the segment "disappointing," NAHJ president Hugo Balta condemned [8] Fox for airing it, saying it was "riddled with basic misinformation and disdainful images."

A Santa Monica man died during an off-road motorcycle ride in the Mohave National Preserve west of the Nevada state line Saturday.
Stefan Moser, 54, was pronounced dead at the scene, San Bernardino County sheriff's officials said.
Deputies received a call at 5:23 p.m. when someone in Moser's group activated the emergency feature on a SPOT GPS device.
Moser had been riding in very rough terrain with friends near the community of Goffs when he ran out of water and began showing signs of fatigue and heat exhaustion. He fell several times during the ride, officials said.
The group stopped on Old Government Road, about a mile east of Grotto Road and used the GPS device. A friend was performing CPR on Moser when deputies and paramedics arrived.
Reach Melissa via email or call her at 909-386-3878.

WATCH: Lady Gaga declares that she is 'over' in 'ARTPOP' promo video
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
It looks like Lady Gaga is trying some reverse-psychology to sell copies of her upcoming album.
She released a promotional video for ARTPOP titled "Lady Gaga Is Over," which features her staring into the camera with sounds of boos growing in the background.
Meanwhile, captions surface from below reading "Lady Gaga is no longer relevant," "Ever since 'Born This Way,' she's a flop," "Do not buy her new single 'Applause' on iTunes" and "Don't dance to the song at all."
Stop the drama, start the music. Check it out below:

text: Posted November 25, 2012 A short article by Moi for somewhere else, but I've edited it down for discussion on TRL: We have been a nation now officially since 1707. I think it is fair to say that we have also been united since then (or near then), and it is perhaps that unity that has made our country great. With the exception of France, it is interesting to note that many other countries have not been officially united for that long, and many more have not been informally united for that long either. Regionalism and states still persist in larger countries like Australia, United States, Russia and China. Italy and Germany were not united until the late 19th century. Many countries in Eastern Europe are a curious mixture of many peoples. For this reason I think regional identity has not always been prevalent in our country. Or should I say in England. We are of course split into four, all of which have their very own strong identity. In fact living in Wales for a while I realised just how… well… 'Welsh', cities like Swansea and Cardiff tried to be. But I got the distinct impression that it was the government and not the people, who were more in favour of differentiating themselves from the rest of the Union. Sport, road signs, national museums and local history might be accentuated, but Wales is still very similar to England. But yet for some reason there does seem to be a belief in Wales that although full independence is not desirable, more powers need to be given to Cardiff, that local problems need to local answers and that Westminster simply seems worlds away. The case is similar with England. The Conservative government in 2010 were constantly proposing to give more powers back to local authorities and local communities. There is still that strong belief that delegating power closer to home can help cities and communities adapt to their individual problems. Clearly we are still a very strong nation, but are we moving closer together as a nation, or are we drifting further apart? The way to split up Great Britain has always been by its county lines. These boundaries are some of the oldest in Western Europe – stretching back to Anglo Saxons times of 600AD. Even the conquering Norman invaders refused to change them. The first change occured by government in 1974, and successive governments have changed them even more, however the original counties were still supposed to be enshrined in non-political affairs. But in 2011 the Department for Communities set up a scheme to promote traditional English counties and said that they still form an important part in our local and cultural identity. Currently there are 48 of them recognised in England. But what exactly do they mean? They are of course not as pronounced as the state lines in the US, in fact crossing the border from Shropshire into Staffordshire you are likely to be greeted by the same sort of sign as if you were crossing from Staffordshire into Shropshire. But yet I still read in the news viewpoints and even events that seem very pro-regional. Taking all this into consideration I ask you: Are you proud of the region/county you come from? What future is there for the Counties – should more power be delegated out of Westminster? Would you ever like Counties to be officially recognised with quite a bit of power (less than Welsh Assembly level)? Do you like the differences between cities and counties and areas in our country or do you think it's inevitable that just like the World is getting smaller (globalisation) our country is getting smaller to? What do you think of governments and bodies - like the Welsh government for instance - that are trying to preserve their independent culture, traditions and even - despite being next door to the home of the world's most spoken language – their national tongue? ------------------------------- You probably didn't know this, but recently there has been an increase in public support for counties to have their own flags. Not every county has its own flag, but most in the West and South of the country do, suggesting that the idea came from there. County councils all have their own flags, however it is illegal for them to actually be flown without consent. The following flags are all official and can be flown by anyone. How many can you guess?? ^ ONE: Adopted 2012 ] ^ TWO: Adopted 2005 ^ THREE: Traditional but adopted 2011 ^ FOUR: Adopted 2011 ^ FIVE: Traditional but adopted 2008 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stars shine
Carey Price made 36 saves and the Canadiens' top line scored all four goals in a win that stretched the streak to five.
Max Pacioretty raised his season total to a career-best 35 goals with a pair.
Thomas Vanek got his sixth as a Canadien and 27th over, and David Desharnais capped the game with an empty-netter.
The Canadiens had 11 first-period shots on Dan Ellis, only eight thereafter.
DD caps it
Carey Price was excellent in the third period, foiling any chance of a Florida comeback.
David Desharnais scored an empty-netter.
DD line on fire
Max Pacioretty's 35th was set up by David Desharnais and Thomas Vanek.
The line has produced all three goals tonight.
But Florida had a 12-5 shot advantage, and Brad Boyes picked the top corner on Carey Price's glove side to get the home team on the board.
It ain't over.
CH scores first ... again
For the eighth time in their last nine games, your Montreal Canadiens opened the scoring.
Thomas Vanek's 27th was his sixth in 12 games since joining the team at the trade deadline.
The Canadiens doubled their lead on an exquisite passing play from Daniel Brière to Alexi Emelin to Max Pacioretty for his 34th.
The period included an absurd fight between George Parros and Krys Barch.
Canadiens outshot the Panthers 11-10 and start the second period on a power play.
Fun in the sun?
While Montreal grapples with a winter that's stretched into spring, its beloved hockey team is on the road in the Sunshine State.
The Canadiens visit the Florida Panthers Saturday night, and there should be a good contingent of late-season snowbirds in the stands at the BB&T Center.
This is the fourth and final meeting of the teams this season, and Florida has won two of the first three – including a 4-1 romp in Sunrise on Dec. 29.
The Canadiens will be without Tomas Plekanec, who's back in Montreal because, rumour has it, his partner is having their second baby.
George Parros draws in - Woo-hoo! The Cup is ours!! – as does Douglas Murray, for Jarred Tinordi.
Mike Weaver, a great pick-up by general manager Marc Bergevin, will be facing his former teammates.
Puck drops at 7:10ish.
Check back later for live game blogging.
And everyone has permission to keep checking the Leafs and Red Wings on HNIC.

Zinc is a metal. It is called an "essential trace element" because very small amounts of zinc are necessary for human health. Zinc is used for treatment and prevention of zinc deficiency and its consequences, including stunted growth and acute diarrhoea in children, and slow wound healing. It is also used for boosting the immune system, treating the common cold and recurrent ear infections, and preventing lower respiratory infections. It is also used for malaria and other diseases caused by parasites.
Some people use zinc for an eye disease called macular degeneration, for night blindness, and for cataracts. It is also used for asthma; diabetes; high blood pressure; acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); and skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne. Other uses include treating attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), blunted sense of taste (hypogeusia), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), severe head injuries, Crohn's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, Hansen's disease, ulcerative colitis, peptic ulcers and promoting weight gain in people with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa.
Some people use zinc for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), male infertility, erectile dysfunction (ED), weak bones (osteoporosis), rheumatoid arthritis, and muscle cramps associated with liver disease. It is also used for sickle cell disease and inherited disorders such as Acrodermatitis enteropathica, thalassemia, and Wilson's disease. Some athletes use zinc for improving athletic performance and strength.
Zinc is also applied to the skin for treating acne, aging skin, herpes simplex infections, and to speed wound healing.
There is a zinc preparation that can be sprayed in the nostrils for treating the common cold. Zinc sulphate is used in products for eye irritation. Zinc citrate is used in toothpaste and mouthwash to prevent dental plaque formation and gingivitis.
Note that many zinc products also contain one other metal called cadmium. This is because zinc and cadmium are chemically similar and often occur together in nature. Exposure to high levels of cadmium over a long time can lead to kidney failure. The concentration of cadmium in zinc-containing supplements can vary as much as 37-fold. Look for zinc-gluconate products. Zinc gluconate consistently contains the lowest cadmium levels.
How does it work?
Zinc is needed for the proper growth and maintenance of the human body. It is found in several systems and biological reactions, and it is needed for immune function, wound healing, blood clotting, thyroid function, and much more. Meats, seafood, dairy products, nuts, legumes, and whole grains offer relatively high levels of zinc.
Zinc deficiency is not uncommon worldwide. Symptoms include slowed growth, low insulin levels, loss of appetite, irritability, generalized hair loss, rough and dry skin, slow wound healing, poor sense of taste and smell, diarrhoea, and nausea. Moderate zinc deficiency is associated with disorders of the intestine which interfere with food absorption (malabsorption syndromes), alcoholism, chronic kidney failure, and chronic debilitating diseases.
Zinc plays a key role in maintaining vision, and it is present in high concentrations in the eye. Zinc deficiency can alter vision, and severe deficiency can cause changes in the retina (the back of the eye where an image is focused). Zinc might also have effects against viruses. It appears to lessen symptoms of the rhinovirus (common cold), but researchers can't yet explain exactly how this works. In addition, there is some evidence that zinc has some antiviral activity against the herpes virus.
Low zinc levels can be associated with male infertility, sickle cell disease, HIV, major depression, and type 2 diabetes, and can be fought by taking a zinc supplement.
Effective for:
- Preventing and treating blood levels of zinc that are too low (zinc deficiency).
- Zinc deficiency may occur in severe diarrhoea, conditions that make it hard for the bowel to absorb food, liver cirrhosis and alcoholism, after major surgery, and during long-term use of tube feeding in the hospital.
- Taking zinc by mouth or intravenously (by IV) helps to restore zinc levels to the right level.
- But as a rule, routine use of zinc supplements is not recommended.
Likely Effective for:
- Reducing diarrhoea in malnourished children, or in children who have low zinc levels.
- Severe zinc deficiency in children is common in developing countries.
- Treating Wilson's disease, a rare genetic disorder.
Possibly Effective for:
- Decreasing the length of time the common cold lasts, when taken by mouth as a lozenge. However, using zinc as a pill or a nose spray doesn't seem to help prevent colds.
- Acne. Taking zinc by mouth or applying it to the skin in an ointment that also contains erythromycin seems to help clear up acne.
- Weak bones (osteoporosis). Low zinc intake seems to be linked to lower bone mass. Taking a zinc supplement in combination with copper, manganese, and calcium might also decrease bone loss in women who have passed menopause.
- Treating an eye disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD) when taken with other medicines. Taking zinc by mouth in combination with antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene) might slow the worsening of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- There isn't enough information to know if zinc plus antioxidants helps people with less advanced macular disease or prevents AMD. Taking zinc supplements alone does not seem to benefit people with existing AMD.
- Treating attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Taking zinc by mouth in combination with conventional treatment might slightly improve symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and socialization problems in some children with ADHD. But zinc might not improve attention span. Some research suggests that children with ADHD have lower zinc levels in their blood than children without ADHD. Other research suggests people with ADHD with lower zinc levels might not respond well enough to prescription medications for ADHD (stimulants). Studies using zinc for ADHD have taken place in the Middle East where zinc deficiency is relatively common compared to Western countries. It's not known if zinc would have the same potential benefits when used for ADHD in people from Western countries.
- Treating an inherited disorder called Acrodermatitis enteropathica.
- Leprosy, when used with other medications.
- Herpes simplex virus when zinc preparations made for the skin are applied directly to the mouth or genitals.
- Promoting weight gain and improving depression in people with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa.
- Treating hypogeusia, a rare condition where the sense of taste is abnormal.
- Preventing and treating stomach ulcers.
- Preventing complications related to sickle cell anaemia in people who have low zinc levels.
- Preventing muscle cramps in people who have low zinc levels.
- Treating leg wounds in people with low zinc levels.
- As a mouthwash or toothpaste for preventing tartar and gingivitis.
- Improving healing of burns.
- Increasing vitamin A levels in underfed children or in children with low zinc levels.
- Preventing and treating pneumonia in undernourished children in developing countries.
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Preventing prostate cancer. Some preliminary research suggests that some men might benefit from taking zinc along with other vitamins and minerals for preventing prostate cancer. But other research suggests that taking zinc can increase the risk of developing prostate cancer and increase the risk of dying from prostate cancer.
- Raising blood iron levels in pregnant women, when taken with iron and folic acid supplements.
- Skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, or hair loss.
- Many kinds of arthritis.
- Preventing or treating cataracts.
- Malaria in underfed children.
- Inflammatory bowel disease.
- "Ringing in the ears" (tinnitus).
- AIDS diarrhoea-wasting syndrome.
- Preventing the flu.
- Increasing birth weight and gestation time in infants born to HIV-infected women.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Alzheimer's disease. Some limited research has shown zinc supplements may slightly slow the worsening of symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease.
- Wrinkled skin. A skin cream containing 10% vitamin C as L-ascorbic acid and acetyl tyrosine, zinc sulphate, sodium hyaluronate, and bioflavonoids (Cellex-C High Potency Serum) applied for 3 months to facial skin aged by sun exposure seems to improve fine and coarse wrinkling, yellowing, roughness, and skin tone.
- Infections related to AIDS. There is some limited evidence that taking zinc supplements by mouth in combination with zidovudine (AZT, Retrovir, a component of Combivir) might prevent certain bacterial and yeast infections that can occur in people with AIDS because their immune system is less active than it should be. However, taking zinc supplements might lower the overall survival of people with AIDS.
- Male sexual problems. Taking zinc orally to treat male sexual problems caused by disease or medical treatment has produced varying results.
- Crohn's disease.
- Ulcerative colitis.
- Diabetes.
- Treating the common cold when used as a nose spray.
- Asthma.
- Down syndrome.
- Recurrent ear infections.
- Preventing cancer.
- Head injury.
- Helping babies that are too small when born.
- Preventing oesophageal cancer.
Other conditions
More evidence is needed to rate zinc for these uses.
- Zinc is LIKELY SAFE for most adults when applied to the skin, or when taken by mouth in amounts not larger than 40 mg per day. Routine zinc supplementation is not recommended without the advice of a healthcare professional. In some people, zinc might cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, metallic taste, kidney and stomach damage, and other side effects. Using zinc on broken skin may cause burning, stinging, itching, and tingling.
- Taking high amounts of zinc is LIKELY UNSAFE. High doses above the recommended amounts might cause fever, coughing, stomach pain, fatigue, and many other problems.
- Taking more than 100 mg of supplemental zinc daily or taking supplemental zinc for 10 or more years doubles the risk of developing prostate cancer. There is also concern that taking large amounts of a multivitamin plus a separate zinc supplement increases the chance of dying from prostate cancer.
- Taking 450 mg or more of zinc daily can cause problems with blood iron. Single doses of 10-30 grams of zinc can be fatal.
- Zinc nose sprays (Zicam, Cold-Eeze) are POSSIBLY UNSAFE. These products may cause loss of ability to smell. In June 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advised consumers not to use certain zinc-containing nose sprays (Zicam) after receiving over 100 reports of loss of smell. The maker of these zinc-containing nose sprays has also received several hundred reports of loss of smell from people who had used the products. Avoid using zinc nose sprays.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
- Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Zinc is LIKELY SAFE for most pregnant and breast-feeding women when used in the recommended daily amounts (RDA). Pregnant women over 18 should not take more than 40 mg of zinc per day; pregnant women age 14 to 18 should not take more than 34 mg per day. Breast-feeding women over 18 should not take more than 40 mg of zinc per day; breast-feeding women age 14 to 18 should not take more than 34 mg per day.
- HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)/AIDS: Do not take zinc if you have HIV/AIDS. Zinc might shorten your life.
- Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Antibiotics (Quinolone antibiotics) interact with ZINC – Zinc might decrease how much antibiotic the body absorbs. Taking zinc along with some antibiotics might decrease the effectiveness of some antibiotics. To avoid this interaction take zinc supplements at least 1 hour after antibiotics.
- Some of these antibiotics that might interact with zinc include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), enoxacin (Penetrex), norfloxacin (Chibroxin, Noroxin), sparfloxacin (Zagam), trovafloxacin (Trovan), and grepafloxacin (Raxar).
- Antibiotics (Tetracycline antibiotics) interact with ZINC -Zinc can attach to tetracyclines in the stomach. This decreases the amount of tetracyclines that can be absorbed. Taking zinc with tetracyclines might decrease the effectiveness of tetracyclines. To avoid this interaction take zinc 2 hours before or 4 hours after taking tetracyclines.
- Some tetracyclines include demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Minocin), and tetracycline (Achromycin).
- Cisplatin (Platinol-AQ) interacts with ZINC – Cisplatin (Platinol-AQ) is used to treat cancer. Taking zinc along with EDTA and cisplatin (Platinol-AQ) might increase the effects and side effects of cisplatin (Platinol-AQ).
- Penicillamine interacts with ZINC – Penicillamine is used for Wilson's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Zinc might decrease how much penicillamine your body absorbs and decrease the effectiveness of penicillamine.
- Minor Interaction Be watchful with this combination – Amiloride (Midamor) interacts with ZINC Amiloride (Midamor) is used as a "water pill" to help remove excess water from the body. Another effect of amiloride (Midamor) is that it can increase the amount of zinc in the body. Taking zinc supplements with amiloride (Midamor) might cause you to have too much zinc in your body.
For acne vulgaris: zinc acetate 1.2% with erythromycin 4% as a lotion applied twice daily.
For herpes simplex infections: zinc sulphate 0.25% applied 8 to 10 times daily or zinc oxide 0.3% with glycine applied every 2 hours while awake.

Last week I introduced player TOI usage charts and one use I thought they had was to look at how a players usage changed during the downside of their careers. Today I will do just that by looking at Nicklas Lidstrom's TOI charts over the last 5 seasons. Consider this an extension to my earlier article where I took a look at Lidstrom's last few seasons of his career. Let's get right at it with his 5v5 chart.
Lidstrom's last big season was clearly 2007-08 and every year since he has been below his 2007-08 levels in terms of 5v5 ice time. What is interesting to note is how little (relatively) ice time he had during the 2010-11 season, the year he won the Norris Trophy. I think it was a big mistake that he was awarded the trophy that season and this is just a little more evidence of that. In fact, Lidstrom was 4th on the Red Wings in ESTOI/Game by defensemen which is why his TOI% in the chart above were so low that year. Rafalski retired in the summer of 2011 which meant Lidstrom would get a boost to his ice time in 2011-12.
So, what about his special teams play?
On the powerplay, Lidstrom maintained his level of playing ~60% of his teams 5v4 power play minutes but his penalty kill ice time dropped significantly over the final 2 seasons of his career.
Based on the above charts, the last year I think you could consider Lidstrom a true heavy work load stud of a defenseman was in 2007-08. He was still awfully good for a couple more years and quite good until he retired but his slow decline in ice time had begun.

Ship Weight:3.25 Servings:10 Namaste Foods - Gluten Free Bread & Roll Mix - 16 oz. (453g)Namaste Foods Gluten Free Bread & Roll Mix is a great tasting allergen-free bread in the tradition of bread like your grandmother used to make. Now you can use it to make rolls, too! Namaste Foods Gluten Free Bread & Roll Mix is free from the top 8 allergens.Made in a facility free of: Gluten Wheat Soy Corn Potato Peanuts Tree Nuts Dairy Casein What does Namaste mean?Many people ask us what the term "Namaste" means. They will do their best to explain it here. The word "Namaste" (pronounced "Naa-Maa-Stay") is an ancient Sanskrit word with no literal translation. After many hours reviewing all the different translations, they decided they like this one the best. "The Spirit within me honors and respects the Spirit within you." The word 'Spirit' in this context has no particular religious connotation. You could substitute the word 'Heart' or 'Soul' if you like. The essence of the phrase is simply that the best part of me wishes you well – in every way. In seeking to offer you delicious gluten and allergen-free foods, they nourish the body. In nourishing the body, they hope to help nourish the mind and the spirit so you can enjoy optimum health. Frquently Asked QuestionsI am ordering a Namaste Foods product but wondered about the XANTHAN GUM. Their ad says corn-free. Doesn't xanthan gum have corn in it or a by product?Namaste Foods uses xanthan gum that is NOT derived from corn or corn sources. It is certified by the manufacturer to be free of all carbohydrates including corn, wheat and soy. Can a powdered egg substitute be used in place of eggs?Namaste Foods products are formulated to be used with eggs. However, they have many customers who use a powdered egg substitute with success though some amount of experimenting may be necessary. What is Celiac Disease?Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. What does this mean? Celiac disease is triggered by consumption of the protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. When people with Celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the fingerlike villi of the small intestine. When the villi become damaged, the body is unable to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, which can lead to malnourishment. Celiac disease is also known as Celiac Sprue, Nontropical Sprue, and Gluten-Sensitive Enteropathy. Researchers have determined that Celiac disease is a genetic condition, meaning that it is inherited. In some cases, Celiac becomes active or is triggered by events such as surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress. Roughly one out of about every 100 Americans has Celiac disease, but 97 per cent remain undiagnosed. This means that almost three million Americans have celiac disease and only about 100,000 have been diagnosed. Left untreated, people with Celiac disease can develop further complications such as other autoimmune diseases, Osteoporosis, Thyroid disease, and Cancer. GMO StatementAll Namaste Foods LLC products and ingredients are, to the best our knowledge, considered to be non-GMO in that they are produced with the addition of no genetically modified organisms.

When they first started, they didn't have the money to hire advertising firms, public relations people and expensive brokers like everyone else does so they just started reaching out to people through various support groups such as Celiac Support groups, Autism support groups, food allergy support groups and the like. They sent samples for their members to try and Voila! – people loved their products and started requesting us at their local store. And a company was born . . .Today, they still don't do those things the 'big guys' do (because that ends up costing YOU more) and they rely heavily on what got us to where they are today, good 'ol word-of-mouth advertising. It's the biggest compliment anyone can give us and they appreciate it more than you know.

They use NO genetically modified ingredients in any of their products and yes, all Namaste Food products are Kosher Certified. And last but not least (and they don't mean to brag BUT) AIB International, a leader in performing audits for companies in the baking industry, has given their facility a 'Superior' rating – the highest rating possible. A better value – They know that gluten-free products are expensive. In an effort to make them more affordable for you, they continue to strive to give you more for your hard earned dollar. You will find that most Namaste Foods mixes have a significantly higher yield than their competitors'. For instance, all their cake mixes make TWO rounds as opposed to one. (Who ever heard of a one-layer birthday cake anyway?!) Truly delicious food! - That goes without saying yet bears repeating. They work diligently to try to offer you products that make your mouth water and your face smile! They truly believe Namaste Foods products to be heads and shoulders above their competitors in taste and texture – because you've told them so! Namaste's HistoryBy Daphne Taylor, OwnerIt was in the fall of 1999 that a friend approached me desperate for help in creating good gluten free and allergen free foods for herself and her preschooler son. She was frustrated at the lack of good food available to them and he was sad that he couldn't eat food the 'normal' kids could eat. In my family, good food was essential – it brought friends and family together for the best of times and nurtured the soul. I couldn't imagine missing out on one of the best things in life – good food. While I was unfamiliar with Celiac Disease at that time, I knew I loved to cook and could never resist helping a friend. So, I rolled up my sleeves and went to work. This challenge was particularly perplexing as any creation must not only be free of gluten but also free of corn, soy, potato, dairy, casein, peanuts and tree nuts in order to meet my friends' dietary restrictions. No small task indeed! As a chocolate lover myself, Brownies came first. So, I started by flipping over a box of unsweetened chocolate and looked at the Brownie recipe on the back. I made some changes based on what little research I had done and voila! As luck would have it (or maybe it was just meant to be?) the first 'go' at the perfect Brownie was also the last. The fudgey, dark chocolately taste and moist and chewy texture of that first Brownie needed no improvement. And it's still the same recipe they use today! And so it began . . . The early days involved more experimenting on the best of family and friends. Then loading up a truck full of flour, sugar, cocoa, spices and the like and heading north to a business incubator community kitchen in Sandpoint, Idaho where they'd strap on aprons and get to work! Meanwhile, my boys Seamus and Conor, then ages nine and seven respectively, would be home at our kitchen table sticking labels from the local print shop onto cellophane bags. At a penny a label, they were happy to do it, thank goodness! It was shortly thereafter that as coincidence (or fate?) would have it, Seamus was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. In my research, I learned that many kids with Autism Spectrum disorders see improvement, sometimes significant, when switched to a gluten free, casein free diet. Now I was convinced – it was time to leave my 'real' federal job and take a leap of faith. Namaste Foods was officially born in February of 2000.(Many people ask me why I chose the name 'Namaste Foods'. At the time, I was taking my first yoga class and each class ended with the instructor bowing her head, hands over her heart and saying 'Namaste.' Wanting to know what that meant, I learned the essence of the word means 'the spirit within me honors and respects the spirit within you.' I have always felt there is a fundamental connection between mind, body, spirit and good health. Surely all the good times they share with family and friends around food aren't purely about the food! To me, nourishing the body with good food in turn nourishes the mind and the spirit. And who needs a little 'soul food' more than people who are struggling with food allergies?) From our humble beginnings, Namaste Foods has grown into one of the most respected manufacturers of gluten free and allergen free foods in the United States and beyond. The first few years were difficult as I juggled home- schooling Seamus (who wasn't quite ready for middle school) with waitressing nights (the 'real' federal job paid 'real' money whereas a new business eats 'real' money), being a wife and mom to both sons and trying to get Namaste Foods off the ground. What a long and wild two years that was! Using a grass roots approach and still a one-woman show, I reached out to a handful of local health food stores and wrote to support groups. Then a wonderful thing happened, people began to talk – and Namaste Foods began to grow. And it kept growing. Today, 16 women (and my husband) work from their homes in all parts of the country to continue the success of Namaste Foods. They currently offer 15 outstanding baking mixes and 3 delectably delicious pasta meals that are distributed in all 50 states, Canada and beyond. All products are free of wheat, gluten, corn, soy, potato, dairy, casein, peanuts and tree nuts, are carefully manufactured in a dedicated allergen free facility and Kosher certifiedHaving been a single mom for almost five years, I understand the importance of stretching every dollar. Nearly all of their products make up to double their competitors yet their price is about the same and sometimes even less! And as the company was founded in the spirit of helping a friend, the tradition continues. Namaste Foods routinely donates to charities of all shapes and sizes as a way to 'give back' and be thankful for all of the success they have enjoyed. Namaste Foods is actively involved in and routinely donates to groups and organizations such as CSA (Celiac Sprue Association), GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group), GIG Kid's Summer Camps, FAAN (Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network), AFAA (Anaphylaxis & Food Allergy Association), FACES (Food Allergic Children Education & Support), R.O.C.K. (Raising Our Celiac Kids), NFCA (National Foundation for Celiac Awareness), TACA (Talk About Curing Autism), local support groups and many more. They appreciate the opportunity to be involved with these groups in raising awareness of disease and food allergy problems and helping those with food allergies and sensitivities to enjoy a healthy allergen-free lifestyle.

'Mystery monster' eats great white shark
(NEWSER) – What wolfs down 9-foot great white shark like a steak dinner? That's what plagued researchers who had tagged a great white in Australia and found the tag washed up on a nearby beach four months later, Australia's News Network reports. Tag data showed a sudden 1,902-foot plunge and a quick increase in temperature, the latter indicating time spent in an animal's digestive system. "I was absolutely blown away," says filmmaker Dave Riggs in a documentary coming from the Smithsonian Institute, Hunt for the Super Predator.

Moore falsely claimed Supreme Court ignored "textual definition" of First Amendment in Ten Commandments case
On Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Roy Moore, former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, falsely claimed that the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling that the displays of the Ten Commandments in two Kentucky county courthouses are unconstitutional "does not address the textual definition of the words in the First Amendment."
In fact, Justice David Souter's June 27 majority opinion [1] in McCreary County v. American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky explicitly considered whether the First Amendment provides a "textual definition" for its Establishment Clause, which guarantees that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." But Souter quickly concluded that the Constitution provides no such "textual definition":
The First Amendment contains no textual definition of "establishment," and the term is certainly not self-defining. No one contends that the prohibition of establishment stops at a designation of a national (or with Fourteenth Amendment incorporation, Cantwell v. Connecticut, 310 U. S. 296, 303 (1940), a state) church, but nothing in the text says just how much more it covers. There is no simple answer, for more than one reason.
The prohibition on establishment covers a variety of issues from prayer in widely varying government settings, to financial aid for religious individuals and institutions, to comment on religious questions. In these varied settings, issues of about interpreting inexact Establishment Clause language, like difficult interpretative issues generally, arise from the tension of competing values, each constitutionally respectable, but none open to realization to the logical limit.
The First Amendment has not one but two clauses tied to "religion," the second forbidding any prohibition on the "the free exercise thereof," and sometimes, the two clauses compete: spending government money on the clergy looks like establishing religion, but if the government cannot pay for military chaplains a good many soldiers and sailors would be kept from the opportunity to exercise their chosen religions.
The court ultimately ruled that the Ten Commandments displays are unconstitutional "[w]hen the government acts with the ostensible and predominant purpose of advancing religion." Moore was the only guest who addressed the decision on the show. Co-host Alan Colmes introduced Moore as "a man who led his own fight to keep a Ten Commandment monument in the Alabama State courthouse," but neither he nor co-host Sean Hannity mentioned that Moore was removed [2] from the bench by Alabama's judicial ethics panel after he ignored a federal court order to remove the monument from his courtroom.
From the June 27 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
MOORE: Well, it's very true. The first thing our forefathers did when they wrote the First Amendment was to declare a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to God. The first thing Congress did was vote in chaplains. Throughout our history, we have acknowledged God. But you know, what this opinion does is it does not address the textual definition of the words in the First Amendment.

Kapunuan was created by Joseph Barretto in 2006. He imagined a writing system inspired by trees and created by a people who revered them. The word kapunuan is Tagalog for a group of trees, but also means source or beginning.
The following chart represents the six trunk orders and the six types of fruits possible within each order.
Trunks and fruits combine to form the following letters:
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They
are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.
(Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

Did you celebrate "United Nations Day"?
posted at 6:07 pm on October 25, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
Well, shoot. I must've missed this newfound auspicious occasion in all of the election hullabaloo, and a darn shame it is, too — I do so regret not having taken a moment to observe the worldwide contributions of the marred-by-corruption, unfailingly progressive, global-carbon-tax-pushing, Israel-hatin', moral-relativist international body. Hear ye, hear ye, from the White House:
Sixty-seven years ago, as the world began to emerge from the shadows of war, the 51 founding member states of the United Nations came together to take up the new test of forging a lasting peace. …
Through the better part of a century, we have seen what is possible when a strong and united international community takes action to advance the interests and values we share. The founding values of the United Nations remind us that countries can resolve their differences peacefully, and that all people deserve the chance to seek their own destiny, free from fear and empowered with their most fundamental rights. As we recognize this 67th anniversary of the United Nations, let us recommit to carrying that vision forward in the years ahead.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 24, 2012, as United Nations Day.

Bilbao originated as a settlement of seafaring people on the banks of the Nervión's estuary. The inhabitants began to export both the iron ore found in large quantities along the river's eastern bank and the products of their ironworks, which became well known in Europe. To this settlement of mariners and ironworkers, Don Diego López de Haro, lord of Biscay, in 1300 gave the charter and privilege of self-government in an independent municipality. Bilbao's port was also a centre for the export of wool from Burgos, in the interior of Castile, to Flanders. In 1511 the city obtained the right, like Burgos, to its own commercial tribunal that could issue laws in the form of ordinances. The last of these, promulgated in 1737, formed the basis of the first Spanish commercial code in 1829. In the 18th century Bilbao derived great prosperity from intensive trade with the American colonies of Spain. The city was sacked by French troops in the Peninsular War (1808) and was besieged four times during the Carlist Wars. These struggles produced a strong communal spirit that after 1874 directed itself toward industrialization.
Bilbao is the most important port in Spain. It also has one of the nation's largest concentrations of metallurgical industries, which arose in the 19th century Beginning in the 1870s, Bilbao experienced rapid industrialization based on the exploitation export of the local iron ore deposits. Bilbao also has important chemical industries, produces textiles and building materials, and is a financial centre. Its maritime activities include the fishing industry and shipbuilding and ship repairing.iron ore and the development of the iron and steel and shipbuilding industries. The growth of industry drew workers from other parts of Spain, and their presence soon provoked a reaction in the form of Basque nationalism. Bilbao also produces industrial and railway equipment, aeronautical equipment, automobiles, chemicals, hand and machine tools, tires, and paper and is a financial centre. Tourism and services have grown in importance since the decline of the steel and shipbuilding industries in the 1960s and '70s. Fishing still contributes to the economy.
The old part of Bilbao lies on the western (right) bank of the Nervión River, its nucleus being formed by the Siete Calles ("Seven Streets"), a series of parallel streets leading to the riverbank. The old city's notable landmarks include the Gothic-style Cathedral of Santiago (14th century), the Plaza Nueva (early 19th century), and the Renaissance-style churches of San Antonio, Santos Juanes, and San Nicholas. Several towns on the left bank of the river were annexed to the municipality after 1890, forming the modern extension of the city. This new section is a banking , and commercial , and industrial centre and is the site of the provincial government's offices. Six Nine bridges cross the Nervión to link the old and new parts of the city. Bilbao has numerous museums, an engineering school, a Roman Catholic university, Institutions of higher education include the University of Duesto (1886) and the University of the Basque Country (1968). Pop. (1982 est.) 450,024The city began to recover from its decline with the opening in 1997 of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, designed by American architect Frank Gehry in curving, titanium-clad shapes. Other city redevelopment projects include a subway system, upgrading of the airport and harbour, construction of a conference centre and concert hall (1999; home of the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra), cleanup of the river, and waterfront development near the Guggenheim, replacing former shipyards with a cultural and business centre. There are museums devoted to fine arts, religious art, bullfighting, and Basque culture and history. Pop. (2001) 349,972.

HHS: Record Number Of Americans On Welfare
A new report issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has determined that the recorded percentage of Americans on welfare has hit an all-time high, CNS News reports.
Covered up to 2011, the report examines the percentage of all persons in the U.S. who lives in families that receive welfare. HHS' calculations draw from data extending back to 1993.
HHS counted participation in any of just three federal programs, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Supplemental Security Income and food stamps, in order to qualify as a welfare recipient for the purposes of their study.
In this respect, HHS differs slightly from the Census Bureau's definition, which includes someone receiving benefits from one or more means-tested government program. Based on Census Bureau data, the number of Americans on welfare in the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled 108,592,000, adding up to 35.4 percent of Americans.
Removing the "means-tested" clause, the Census Bureau stated that the number of Americans on government benefits reached an incredible 49.2 percent of the total population.
The HHS data, however, indicate that 23.1 percent of Americans were recipients of welfare in 2011, the highest it has ever reached since HHS started recording data. Divided further, up to 38 percent of all children under five were welfare recipients, as well, in the same year, and this figure has jumped in recent years, from 20 percent in 2000.
The recipient rates of non-Hispanic blacks reached up to 39.7 percent, with non-white Hispanics following closely at 36.4 percent.

'Busy' Ballmer Quits Microsoft
(NEWSER) – Steve Ballmer has decided his new role as owner of the Los Angeles Clippers hasn't left him enough free time for other responsibilities—like serving on Microsoft's board. Ballmer, Microsoft CEO for 14 years until he stepped down in February, says he is "very busy" and is stepping down with immediate effect because it would be "impractical to continue," reports the BBC. "I see a combination of the Clippers, civic contribution, teaching, and study taking a lot of my time," Ballmer, who took over as Clippers owner last week, wrote in a letter to new CEO Satya Nadella.

If only persistence is enough you could try this: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/...Persistent_USB
here is what I would like to get as a final product:
a usb with BTR3 with full disk encryption (encryption not 100% necessary, but I usb persistent a must)
I'm using the following:
32gb sandisk usb
VMware workstation 9 (install on Windows 7 x64)
here is what i have done so far:
i have created a virtual machine using VMware and BT5R3 genome 32 . iso (i did not installed tools or install BTR3)
I'm following the how-to (Backtrack 5 Bootable USB Thumb Drive with Full Disk Encryption) located at:
I didn't had to star networking so
i just
I confirmed that I was online(internet working)(great)
and here is what I have done (copy from the shell and paste it here)
part 2.txtpart 1.txt
Now I'm stuck on the last input, I know that the tutorial says it should take a while (hours)
but I would like to know if I'm doing this correctly or not
there might be some errors on what I did.
originally the tutorial say to delete all partition because the usb could have more than one partition, so I deleted 1 through 4
and then created a new partition just like the tutorial states
thank you everyone time and knowledge
If only persistence is enough you could try this: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/...Persistent_USB
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
I strongly suggest to use unencrypted USB, HDD, SD, etc...I've seen people pulling their hair off when the such encrypted, top secret, etc device crashes and are not able to recover their data...
Keep it simple, use wiki as stated by sickness, and when you are an advanced user to linux and know how to make usb persistent installs and fully understand the terms, now you are ready to take your chances and encrypt even your car keys..But need to be aware of circumstances you might ended up with.
Meanwhile, you have all the wiki to make a USB persistent installation. Start learning, getting informed and after that, if you want to take your chances, go ahead, but not before.
Luck, my friend.
thank you, I will def will go for a persistent usb and forget about encrypt until when I'm ready and have more linux skill under my belt.
