Brevard, N.C. - Josh Jordan recorded his fourth double-double of the 2010-2011 season and Josh Roper added 26 points as Brevard played arguably their most complete game of the year in recording the 90-75 victory on Wednesday night over the visiting Catawba College Indians.
Roper led Brevard (9-10, 6-7 SAC) with 27 points and added five assists and four rebounds as the Tornados built an 18 point lead at the half in a rematch of last year's Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Championship game. Jordan scored 18 points and pulled down 10 rebounds as the Tornados shot 52.9 percent (36-68) from the floor in the contest, while Vincent Dombrowski added 12 points off the bench as 10 Tornados players scored in the contest.
Dominick Reid scored 18 points to lead Catawba (8-13, 4-9 SAC) and Keon Moore added 16 points as the Indians fell in the season sweep to the Tornados. Lee Martin defended the paint for the Indians, recording a game high three blocked shots, while Kejuan Mayo added six points and eight rebounds for Catawba.
The Tornados forced four Indians turnovers to start off the contest as Brevard opened the game with a 6-0 lead. Roper had a pair of steals and added an assist on a breakaway to a streaking Jordan as the Tornados jumped out of the gate early. A layup by Moore opened the scoring for the Indians at the 17:52 mark but the Tornados added four more points as Jermichael Tanner drove in for a layup and Jordan added a jumper in the paint as the Tornados opened the game with a 10-2 run.
A dunk by Moore ended the first Tornados run, but Brevard got back on track, scoring 12 of the next 16 points as Roper and Drew Schauss hit three-pointers as Brevard went up 22-8 as Schauss capped the run with a steal and layup with 14:21 to play in the opening half. Catawba's defense would clamp down on Brevard, holding the Tornados to two points over the next four minutes as the Indians offense began to exert itself, as Reid and Kelvin Drakeford combined for 11 of the Indians next 13 points in cutting the lead down to three points on Reid's three-pointer from the top of the key with 10:42 to play, put the score at 24-21.
A trey by Darius Moose in the right corner ended the Brevard drought and following a free throw by Drakeford, the Tornados went on a 11-0 run to put the lead back at 16. Vincent Dombrowski scored six straight points to spark the run before Ryson Felder canned a three from the left corner with 8:12 to play in the first half as Brevard went up 38-22. The lead would extend to 21 points as Roper took the outlet pass from Joseph Davis and went coast-to-coast for a layup with 1:54 left in the first half to put the score at 53-32, but the Indians fought back with a jumper by Mayo and Moore hit a jumper and converted the following free throw after the foul by Roper to put the score at 53-37, but Jordan caught an errant shot with time expiring and lofted the ball through the net as the buzzer sounded to give the Tornados the 55-37 advantage heading into the locker room.
The Indians scored the first eight points of the second half, cutting the score to 55-45 following a Mayo offensive rebound and put back with 17:23 on the clock, but this was as close as Catawba would get for the remainder of the game as Roper hit a three-pointer to end the Indians' run as the Tornados built their largest lead of the game at 22 points as Jordan converted a pair of free throws with 9:57 left in the game to put Brevard up 75-53.
Catawba continued to battle back, twice bringing the game back to within 15 points as Moore hit a three with 5:08 on the clock to put the score at 81-66, but the Tornados were able to close out the game in Boshamer Gymnasium, 90-75.
Whitney Galloway hit his first career three-pointer in the victory as the Tornados hit 42.9 percent (9-21) of their shots from behind the arc and held the 38-28 rebounding advantage and outscored the Indians in the paint, 48-34. Catawba held the edge at the free throw line, hitting 19 of their 22 attempts to shoot 86.4 percent from the charity stripe led by perfect performances by Moore (7-7) and Huntley (6-6).
The Tornados take to the road in their next game, heading to Mars Hill, N.C. and Stanford Arena as they go for the season sweep against the Mars Hill College Lions, having defeated Mars Hill in Boshamer Gymnasium on January 8th, 91-87. Tipoff for the game is set for 4 p.m.

Short film, 'Dreadful Sorry,' features USC cast, crew
University of South Carolina theater director and Helen Hayes Award nominee Robert Richmond is heading up the production of the post-Civil War ghost story, "Dreadful Sorry."
The short film, written by screen writer Dionne O'Dell, was inspired by the legend of the Huguenot ghost, Gauche, who is said to haunt The Castle on 411 Craven St. in Beaufort, S.C.
"Dreadful Sorry," which takes its name from the last line of the western folk ballad, "Oh My Darling, Clementine," is being filmed at the Robert Mills House in Columbia.
In "Dreadful Sorry," Gauche appears as a gardener who befriends 10-year-old Lily Reece. Gauche aids Lily's memory as she returns to the plantation and struggles to remember the dreadful event of her mother's death.
Richmond, associate professor in the department of theatre and dance, was awarded the 2010 South Carolina Film Commission grant to produce the 15-minute film. "Dreadful Sorry" is the fourth film to receive the grant.
The movie is a collaborative effort of the South Carolina Film Commission, USC Partner in Film Production, City of Columbia, USC's College of Arts and Sciences and the department of theatre and dance.
Several notable Hollywood industry professionals are also lending their talents to "Dreadful Sorry." They include celebrated photographer Dan Kneece and producers Worth Keeter and Phil Smoot.
Two USC theater faculty are working on the film. Technical director and theater instructor Andy Mills is serving as art director, and assistant professor Walter Clissen is sound mixer.
Actors include Richard Sheridan Willis as Conrad, Louis Butelli as Gauche, Madeleine Hamer as Victoria, and Liza Hunter as Lily.
Media-arts students are apprenticing as production assistants, and theater students are appearing in supporting acting roles.
"Dreadful Sorry" is expected to be released next summer.

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College men's basketball team will welcome the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears to Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday night for a South Atlantic Conference matchup slated for 8 p.m.
The Tornados (1-4, 1-2 SAC) look to make it two straight conference wins after trampling Tusculum 95-73 on Tuesday night in Pioneer Arena. The 22-point victory represents the largest margin of victory for Brevard over a SAC opponent since joining the conference as full members for the 2008-2009 season.
Dominique Pickett and Miles Leathers set career highs in the scoring column while Darius Moose dished out a career-high 10 assists in the win.
Both Pickett and Moose enter Wednesday's game averaging 18.0 points per game, which is tied for 9th in the league in scoring. Moose also cracks the top ten in rebounding, pulling down 7.2 rebounds per game (8th).
The Tornados are one of the best three-point shooting teams in the country this season, ranking 4th in three-point field goals per game (12.4) and 10th in field goal percentage (45.3). BC leads the conference in both categories.
BC is coming off a loss to Division I Furman University on Saturday, but saw freshman Trevon Shaw (17 points) and Harrison White (13 points) put forth their most productive offensive games since arriving on campus.
The Bears (3-2, 2-1 SAC) are looking to rebound from a 73-59 loss on the road to the Wingate Bulldogs on Tuesday night. L-R began their conference schedule with wins over Queens and Anderson.
RJ McClure is averaging 23.2 points per game this season, which is the second in the SAC in scoring. The senior guard is 40-for-41 from the free throw line this season.
No other Bear is scoring in double figures this season, and L-R is 11th in the league in scoring offense. Lenoir-Rhyne was selected to finish 7th in the SAC Preseason Coaches' Poll.
Lenoir-Rhyne swept last year's season series, narrowly escaping Brevard with a 70-64 victory on January 12th before taking round two 71-60 in Hickory on February 16th. The series is tied 5-5 since BC joined the SAC.

Hilton, who at one time exorcised her childhood demons by turning to comedy, said she is unable to laugh anymore.
On stage, Hilton is wearing black fingerless gloves--gold-studded, just like her dress.
"Hilton should open a budget division called Purgatory," he writes.
Hilton described the media circus that surrounded her first moments out of jail as "pandemonium."
Hilton headed to India last week to participate in India Resort Fashion Week, modeling in shows like Shane and Falguni Peacock.
You understand my position, Mr. Hilton—that I am a penniless man?
But with the attainment of High School and Mr. Hilton the world changed.
Mr. Hilton looked from one woman to another, set his lips, and left them in silence.
In practice yesterday Mr. Hilton did 72 in a three-hole match.
There it went into a mechanism whose basic principles Hilton could not understand.

Sparkling Mike
- No Longer Available -
Nostalgic for the whiz-bang, wind-up charm of vintage tin toys, we found these spot-on reproductions, meant to call forth the child within every adult. Inspired by a 1950s Japanese toy, Mike marches along and maintains a steely gaze, sparks jumping from a vent in his chest. A unique wheel-driven walking mechanism gives him a jaunty, skating gait. His classic design later spawned a host of robotic progeny.

Febrile/cold agglutininsCold agglutinins; Weil-Felix reaction; Widal's test; Warm agglutinins; Agglutinins
Agglutinins are antibodies that cause the red blood cells to clump together.
- Cold agglutinins are active at cold temperatures.
- Febrile (warm) agglutinins are active at normal body temperatures.
This article discusses the blood test used to measure the level of these antibodies in the blood.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
How to Prepare for the Test
There is no special preparation.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is done to diagnose certain infections and to determine the cause of hemolytic anemia. Distinguishing between warm and cold agglutinins can help understand why the hemolytic anemia is occurring and can direct therapy.
Normal Results
- Warm agglutinins: no agglutination in titers at or below 1:80
- Cold agglutinins: no agglutination in titers at or below 1:16
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal (positive) result means there were agglutinins in the blood sample.
Warm agglutinins may occur with:
- Infections, including brucellosis, rickettsial disease, salmonella infection, and tularemia
- Lymphoma
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Use of certain medicines, including methyldopa, penicillin, and quinidine
Cold agglutinins may occur with:
- Infections, especially mononucleous and Mycoplasma pneumonia
- Chicken pox (varicella)
- Cytomegalovirus infection
- Cancer, including lymphoma and multiple myeloma
- Listeria monocytogenes
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Waldenstrom macrogolulinemia
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
If cold agglutinin disease is suspected, the individual needs to be kept warm.

"You will have to manage without pocket-handkerchiefs, and a good many other things, before you get to the journey's end." (*The Hobbit*, 35)
This is my favorite quote from J.R.R. Tolkien's *The Hobbit*, because it communicates the very thing that makes an adventure great: sacrifice. Bilbo is suddenly presented with an opportunity for adventure. He's used to living in a cozy hobbit-hole, with the comforts of home at his fingertips. Yet something deep within him prompts him to take the opportunity and go on a journey with companions who are practically strangers. He does not quite know what he's getting into and he suspects there will be perils ahead, but he still chooses to go. Less than five minutes into the journey he remembers his pocket-handkerchief and wants to turn back. It is at this point that Dwalin, a no-nonsense dwarf, reminds Bilbo that if he wants to be a part of the adventure, he's going to have to leave the comforts of home entirely behind him. Bilbo is reminded to anticipate sacrifice if he wants to get where he's going.
I'm not going to say that the Christian life is like an adventure –after all, adventures are temporary. You return to the the comforts that you sacrificed once the adventure is over. The Christian life is not called the Christian adventure for a reason. It does not last for a few months and then come to an end. I will, however, say that this line from the Hobbit reminds me of the sort of sacrifice which Paul explains in Romans chapter 12. The Apostle writes:
> I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12.1-2)
Paul is instructing believers to seek a radical transformation. When he tells us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, he means that we are no longer serving our flesh but giving ourselves to God. The world tells us it is okay to pursue our sinful desires. Paul is telling us to leave the world's standards behind and change our mindset. If we want to be obedient we have to go all the way. We cannot be of Spirit with a mindset and a desire that is of the world. Yes, sacrificing our desires is uncomfortable and sometimes feels uncertain, but it is necessary if we want to get where we are going.
Returning to The Hobbit, it appears that Bilbo's sacrifices actually improve him. Prior to his journey, he knew little of what happened beyond the borders of the Shire. He was content with his pipe, his food, and peace and quiet. He never had any need to exercise courage or push himself beyond his comfort zone. He learns with every step of the journey that there is more to him than he thought. He has a courage and strength within himself that brings him to confront incredible foes. In the end, he returns to the Shire as a changed Hobbit, with a beautiful story to tell.
It is okay if sacrifices scare you. You should feel a tinge of fear when you read the aforementioned line from The Hobbit, mostly because you can sense the risk and peril that is coming. You might feel a tinge of fear when you read Romans 12.1-2 as well. Saying no to a desire is painful. Christians know that they are on a life-long journey in which they will have to give up their desires. However, we can be comforted in the fact that as we make sacrifices we are being transformed and prepared for a future glory. Sacrifice is painful but necessary, frightening but transforming. As you strive to sacrifice the desires of the flesh, remember that you are on a journey in which you are becoming closer and closer to God. Not to mention, your journey ends with an eternity spent in his presence. With this hope in mind, press on in your journey of sacrifice.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Great place in a familiar neightbourhood. Clean and well organized
The communication with the host was simply great
We had a wonderful time in Tel Aviv - Our apartment had the best location, it was very close to one of the nicest beaches in Tel Aviv and in walking distance to many nice bars and restaurants. Everything was new and clean and also very well organized. Ori was the perfect host. We will definitely come back soon!
- very close to Flea Market Area and old Jaffa
- many nice restaurants an coffee shops nearby
- enough space for 2 Person
- huge TV with a lot of channels
- rooms could be cleaner
- very noisy environment
- dishes unclean
- A bottle opener and a can opener is missing
Beautiful apartment - spacious, very clean. Very well equipped kitchen - plenty of dishes, pots, pans. In the kitchen, there is even a toaster.
The beach is about 20 minutes walk. huge shopping center is very close. The center has a children's playground.
Agency staff are punctual. They reply to the letters quickly, are ready to answer any questions. We were handed a map of the city and told everything that was interested for us.
the apartment has the only defect - two bedrooms are quite noisy because of their windows facing the busy street.
Good Apartment, good located
nice cozy apartment.
A small flat on the sink leaking and therefore unusable.
bel appartement confortable.
Un petit bemol concernant le lavabo qui fuyait et donc inutilisable.
we have booked a studio apartment but then got upgraded to a one bedroom apartment. The apartment was very dirty; the teasmade was old and rusty; the bathroom shower, toilet and sink where not cleaned at all; the fugues in bathroom old and mouldy; so not very luxury at all. The personal for cleaning was a men who really did not know his job. I highly recommend you to take your own cleaning rag because there is no one in the appartment. Also the frig was dirty and in some of the pots there were water in it but the pots where in the drawer. How is that possible? We were there in Sept. 2013. Maybe they've renovated the bathroom fugues and took a new cleaning personal. If not, I don't recommend this appartment. Let me see if I can upload some of the photos for this appartment.
Kind regards from Switzerland,
Bojan and Katarina.
Nice appartment, very good location near the beach.
We had some problems with the door, very professional help from the team.
- Quality assured accommodation

Holiday Tip Sheet 2010
Check it once, and check it twice, the University of South Carolina's Office of Media Relations has compiled a list of story ideas and faculty experts to help features, health and business reporters develop holiday-oriented stories. To coordinate an interview, contact the staffer listed with each entry. For additional help, contact us at 803-777-5400 or online at www.sc.edu/media.
Staying on a healthy track during the holidays
With stress and parties and all sorts of opportunities for overindulging, the holiday season can be a tough time to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It doesn't have to be that way. Dr. Teresa Moore, in USC's Arnold School of Public Health, can offer tips for keeping up with your exercise routine and making healthy food choices during the holidays. Moore, a clinical assistant professor in the department of exercise science, is an exercise physiologist and registered nutritionist. Her expertise includes physical activity, strength training, diet and nutrition. To arrange an interview, call Megan Sexton at 803-777-5400 or email email@example.com.
Loneliness often confused with lonesomeness at the holidays
The holidays can be a lonely time for people who have lost loved ones or who are apart from family and friends. Dr. Kevin Lewis, in Religious Studies, says loneliness often is confused with lonesomeness, a different experience for some people at the holidays. The state of lonesomeness is the subject of his 2009 book, "Lonesome: The Spiritual Meanings of American Solitude." He says the solitude of being lonesome can be savory and contemplative, which isn't negative at all. Lonesomeness in the bustle of holidays can bring balance and reflection and can spur creativity for the promise of the new year. Lewis is available for interviews beginning Monday, Dec. 13. To arrange an interview, call Peggy Binette at 803-777-5400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Helping children lower expectations and raise joy in a tough economy
As the struggling economy continues to have its stranglehold on families, parents are wrestling with how to lower their children's expectations on gifts and travel this holiday season without causing hurt or worry. Dr. Bradley Smith, a psychologist who works with adolescents and their families, can offer tips on how parents can help very young children and older teens understand the realities of tighter finances, managing expectations and recognize the opportunity for and gift of family togetherness. To arrange an interview, call Peggy Binette at 803-777-5400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Adding a little green into your holidays
A few simple green practices this holiday season can add a little green to your pocket and your employer's purse, says sustainability director Michael Koman. Koman is available to offer a series of green and money-saving tips, such as cleaning out and turning off the fridge at work, making wrapping paper out of recycled materials, buying energy-saving LED holiday lights, recycling trees, re-gifting, buying and giving rechargeable batteries, using plates and glasses for dinners and parties, recycling batteries and cell phones and giving the sustainable gift of animals to needy children and families worldwide through organizations such as www.Heifer.org. To arrange an interview, call Peggy Binette at 803-777-5400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Historian studying the stuff in your stocking
Ever wondered where holiday chocolates and toys come from? History professor Dr. Allison Marsh has. In fact, Marsh has spent a decade studying the history of factory tours, exploring why companies open their doors to the curious public and what visitors learn when they see how things are made. Marsh can discuss this fascinating slice of American history and can discuss how to make the most of adding a factory tour to your holiday travels this year. To arrange an interview, call Peggy Binette at 803-777-5400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Businesses that screened holiday workers are more apt to increase sales
In anticipation of holiday sales, retailers nationwide have hired more than a half million part-time workers. Dr. Rob Ployhart, a management professor and expert on staffing at the Darla Moore School of Business, says retailers who used a simple screening process when hiring can expect higher sales than businesses who did not. Simply put, a more competent, qualified staff leads to shoppers spending more money during their visit and, often, returning before the holidays. Ployhart says too often retailers operate under the misconception that screening is expensive and complicated. To arrange an interview, call Peggy Binette in the Office of Media Relations at 803-777-5400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Shoppers hold the key to retailers' bottom line during the holidays
Shoppers have put sales at the top of their must-have lists this holiday season, and retailers are doing their best to oblige, since many will earn 40 percent of their revenue during November and December. The brutal recession still has some South Carolina consumers being super cautious, but nationwide, consumers are expected to spend generously. Dr. Marianne Bickle, chairman of the department of retailing, says people are starting to open their wallets and retailers are trying to capture as much of the market as they can, while they can. To arrange an interview, call Frenché Brewer in the Office of Media Relations at 803-777-5400 or email email@example.com.

Armstrong became a licensed pilot on his 16th birthday and a naval air cadet in 1947. His studies in aeronautical engineering at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IndianaInd., were interrupted in 1950 by his service in the Korean War, in during which he was shot down once and was awarded three Air Medals. In 1955 he became a civilian research pilot for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), later the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He flew more than 1,100 hours, testing various supersonic fighters as well as the X-15 rocket plane.
In 1962 he Armstrong joined the space program with the its second group of astronauts. On March 16, 1966, Armstrong, as command pilot of Gemini 8, and David R. Scott rendezvoused with an unmanned Agena rocket and completed the first manual space - docking maneuver. After the docking, a rocket - thruster malfunction sent the spacecraft into an uncontrolled spin and forced them to separate from the Agena. Armstrong then regained control of the Gemini craft and made an emergency splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
On July 16, 1969, Armstrong, along with Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., and Michael Collins, blasted off in the Apollo 11 vehicle toward the Moon (see Apollo program). Four days later, at 4:17 PM U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), the Eagle lunar landing module, guided manually by Armstrong, touched down on a plain near the southwestern edge of the Sea of Tranquillity (Mare Tranquillitatis). At 10:56 PM EDT on July 20, 1969, Armstrong stepped from the Eagle onto the Moon's dusty surface with the words, "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." (In the excitement of the moment, Armstrong skipped the "a" in the statement that he had prepared.) Armstrong and Aldrin left the module for more than two hours and deployed scientific instruments, collected surface samples, and took numerous photographs.
On July 21, after 21 hours and 36 minutes on the Moon, they lifted off to rendezvous with Collins and begin the voyage back to Earth. After splashdown in the Pacific at 12:51 PM EDT on July 24, the three astronauts spent 18 days in quarantine to guard against possible contamination by lunar microbes. During the days that followed, and during a tour of 21 nations, they were hailed for their part in the opening of a new era in mankind's human exploration of the universe.
Armstrong resigned from NASA in 1971. After Apollo 11, he shied away from becoming a public figure and confined himself to academic and professional endeavours. From 1971 to 1979 he was professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati (Ohio). After 1979 Armstrong served as chairman or director for a number of companies, among them Computing Technologies for Aviation from 1982 to 1992 and AIL Systems (later EDO Corporation), a maker of electronic equipment for the military, from 1977 until his retirement in 2002. He also sat served on the National Commission on Space (NCOS), a panel charged with setting goals for the space program, and on the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident, the group appointed in 1986 to analyze the safety failures in the Challenger disaster. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1969.

Will someone make the stupid stop?
Especially when it encompasses homophobia? Personally, my jaw dislodge from my head as the following report given by ESPN's Josina Anderson droned on and on.
To read more or comment...
A deal is near for DirecTV and the NFL, according to multiple reports including CBSSports.com.
What are they bargaining over? The NFL Sunday Ticket that lucrative draw for football fans who enjoy having every single football game at their control on Sunday afternoons along with a couple of other goodies to enhance the experience of fantasy football addicts.
The cost? Only a cool $1.3 to $1.4 billion per year until 2022, according to reports. Yes, the NFL is indeed king and it makes you wonder how the savvy businessmen who run it actually believe they can get away with selling their halftime show to an act they deem worthy while collecting huge sums of cash from broadcasters.
With an AT&T-DirecTV merger looming, the latter party needs the deal to go through. Without it, there's not a whole lot that DirecTV offers that you can't get with a good video provider.To read more or comment...
An interesting question came up during a teleconference with members of the media to announce the Mid-American Conference's new TV pact with ESPN.
Elton Alexander, my esteemed colleague from the Cleveland Plain Dealer asked MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher and the Worldwide Leader's senior vice president, programming and acquisitions, Burke Magnus whether they thought MAC hoops is getting stiffed with the conference's new TV deal.
Football is indeed front and center in the pact. ESPN now owns the rights to every MAC-controlled football game for the next 13 years. They are free to air games five days a week and they will continue to spread the MACtion brand in the process all while having the ability to license some games to regional partners.
Basketball?To read more or comment...
Sometimes it's good to be king, unless of course you're completely freakin' unhinged – say like Hamlet [yeah, I know he was a prince, but work with me] and, I don't know, King Midas, that guy who could turn things to gold with his touch.
Come to think of it, Midas is sort of like the NFL. There's very little that the NFL can do and not make a huge pile of stinking cash in the process. Usually people line up to give them money.To read more or comment...
The SEC Network, a joint venture with ESPN, is seven years late to the party. They could, however, be the life of it.
When the channel, which will cover all things related to SEC sports debuts at 5 p.m. today, it will be seven years after the Big Ten Network made its splash.
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany and his partners at Fox were laughed at when they announced they were going to put second tier games from Big Ten teams on a cable network. Critics called it "risky" and said it wouldn't fly.
Some video providers (Time Warner and Comcast for instance) held out for a while before adding it. And the trickle to add it by smaller systems only came when Appalachian State upset the Michigan Wolverines during the opening week of the college football season.To read more or comment...
This is what worried some when talk of autonomy for the Power 5 conferences surfaced in college athletics.
An ESPN poll revealed that the majority of football coaches in those top 65 schools that comprise those conferences would prefer to play only schools in those conferences.
While it would likely eliminate strength of schedule issues when it comes to polling and how it relates to the upcoming college football playoff, it opens an entirely different can of worms for the likes of Mid-American Conference schools such as the University of Akron and Kent State University.
To be honest, we're talking what it always comes down to in sports - cash. The Power 5 may as well form their own league today, because the Group of 5 (MAC, American, Conference USA, Mountain West and Sun Belt) would be on life support should something like this occur.To read more or comment...
Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt told an Israeli newspaper that he fully supports Israel's current actions in Gaza.
The interview appears in Globes, a business newspaper. An h/t to Deadspin for posting the link.
Blatt, born in America, but immigrated to Israel to begin his basketball career at age 22. Israel has received criticism for the carnage associated with the three-week-old war in which more than 1,200 people, including children, have died, according to reports.
In the interview, Blatt said that it's Israel's most justified war to date:To read more or comment...
Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn will join Fox Sports to provide analysis in the studio and in the booth, the network announced.
In the studio Quinn, who played in the NFL for six years, will provide analysis for college football on America's Pregame on Fox Sports 1. He will to the same for Fox Sports Live on that channel.
For college football games he will be paired with Tim Brando for broadcasts and NFL games he will partner with broadcast veteran Dick Stockton.
It has been clear that Quinn has been auditioning for a broadcast role somewhere in recent months, having appeared on assorted broadcast entities. And as required, he had no problem offering an opinion, criticizing Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel for his antics off the field.To read more or comment...

Very mature and honest reply mate thank you. xBabycakes-
Me fighting pro has no relevance to my background in Thai. I thought as a pro in Thai yes but didn't start as a pro in MMA. I have fought at all levels in MMA (am,semi,NSAC and pro).
My ground game is better than most people think (granted I know I don't always showcase this lol). I am sure the likes of Jay Furness and James Saville will vouch for that. I have been the distance with people with good ground skills and have finished fights by submission. I actually started my pro MMA career with a fight team. It was MY choice to fight independently.
Unfortunately is doesn't come down to respect for the sport for me. I do what I do for a reason and that reason will stay my priority until my situation chances. I wish that wasn't the case but it is. I don't want nor need respect for what I do. It is what it is! There will always be a need for people like me in this game, its a shame but its true. The sport isn't in the state its in because of me though.
If i could train twice a day, select fights sensibly and make a career out of it I WOULD!(but life isnt that simple)
Oh...and most of my fights are scheduled well in advance....short notice ones just fill gaps (I like to help promoters out)
The Equalizer-
Its not as black and white as that mate.
Both fights have been planned for some time, the one last night was actually booked first. I won the fight quickly but unfortunately knocked an old injury.
The injury got worse over night. I contacted the promoter first thing to let him know. I was actually planning to still fight once I had it checked out hoping I could have a quick fix. The promoter needed an answer there and then as Pete was travelling from London so I had no choice but to pull out.
I am gutted I had to do that. Not something I make a habit of and its a shit feeling when you have to do that.
Me taking 2 fights has nothing to do with greed, nor making bad decisions. I fight most weekends, I have fought consecutive days and even more than one fight on the same day and this hasn't happened.......It was just bad luck this happened and unfortunately both the promoter and Pete have suffered.
This certainly wasn't intentional I am truely sorry to all it has effected!!!
And no contract was signed

XP users refuse to let go.
With the official retirement date Windows XP on April 8, 2014 inching closer and closer, the number of people using XP isn't dropping.

The adoption rate for the highly controversial Window 8 inched up only by half a percent in March to 4.2% of all Windows users.
Adobe Says Goodbye Software, Hello Cloud.
Adobe announced big changes to its Creative Suite software line that includes Photoshop and Illustrator. The company will no longer sell individual licenses to program. It will instead offer only subscription services to the its Creative Cloud.
The company recently said it will stop selling physical discs of its Creative Suite programs. The creative cloud costs $50 a month for individuals and $70 a month for teams.
Senate Passes Internet Sales Tax Bill
The Senate voted 69 to 27 to pass a bill that allows states to collect taxes from purchases made over the Internet, from catalogs and via radio and television ads. The bill would require businesses with over $ 1 million in sales to collect sales tax from customers and then remit that money to the state in which the customer lives.
Smaller businesses complain that the administration costs of collecting taxes at different rates for each state would be crippling.
The bill is expected to face a fight in the House.

Re: SUPER BOWL PACKAGES to fit your budget
Front Office person from another team is a good friend of my father --- we still had to pay face value of 1250 for them
Re: Super Bowl Road Trip -- Post Your Travel Plans, Suggestions Etc Here!Originally Posted by Bufflehead
Across Rampart next to Louis Armstrong Park is the Treme neighborhood of HBO series fame. A very cool Mardi gras Indian museum is there. At Rampart and St.Louis is the crazy graveyard (all vaults above ground due to water table) in which the Hopper & Fonda characters w/ their hooker dates (Karen Black & Toni Basil... later of "Oh, Mickey" fame) tripped, boffed, wept, etc. in Easy Rider.
Git you some culture wit your Festivus Maximus
As for me I just bit down on one of the Same Day Air deals from Prime Sport/go2bowl.com.
As much as I'd love a few days in Nawlins, can't swing it workwise nor budget-wise. Bought just the airfare (plus ground transp. to/from airport , to "official Ravens pre-game party" (whatever that is), & to the Superdome, SB 47 swag, lanyard, blah, blah, blah. Substituted myown e-bay upper endzone ticket - saving about $575 vs. their ticket price in the package. That put the whirlwind of a day just +$400 over my original budget.
The One Big Day strategy just worked for Foxboro, thanks to Rorbaugh Bus (my legs are just beginning to straighten out again lol). The one day deal gives you an instant Ravens' peer group, except during the game. But I figure Upper Endzone Corner will likely be the domain of Ravens' faithful or neutrals.

Happy 4th of July! For the third straight year I had the honor of being one of the official announcers for the Town of Danville parade, hosted by the Kiwanis of the San Ramon Valley. A crowd estimated at 50,000 turned out, and the weather was beautiful.
No one in the parade received more cheers than our military veterans, which is as it should be. For 233 years our military have defended the independence and freedom we celebrate today.
My announcing position was on the steps of the local Veterans Memorial Hall, which is going to undergo a much needed renovation soon, preserving the building for generations to come.
Seated out front today and selling flags were two local veterans. On the left in the photo is Rear Admiral Russ Gorman, USN (Ret.), and on the right is Aviation Cadet Herb Johnson, USAF (Ret.). Admiral Gorman has been my friend and adviser for many years. Since I never served in the military--but often need that knowledge as a reporter--Gorman has always been my "go to" guy for expertise. His knowledge is encyclopedic, and he has introduced me to more active duty and retired military personnel than I could ever count. He's a community treasure!
I also had the honor today of having lunch with Sgt. Manny Mendoza, who lost both legs in the Iraq War. Manny relocated here as one of the "Sentinels of Freedom." That is an organization based in the San Ramon Valley that helps wounded U.S. troops assimilate back into civilian life. "Sentinels" provides college scholarships, job training, employment, housing, transportation and moral support. For more information see www.SentinelsOfFreedom.org. Its CEO, Mike Conklin, has spearheaded a much needed organization to support our wounded troops.
The parade also featured Bill Smith, President of the Walnut Creek Chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors. Smith served on the U.S.S. California. There were twenty-eight men in his battle station the day of the Pearl Harbor attack, but only three survived. Many of our Pearl Harbor veterans are dying, and someday soon all will be gone. I was thrilled to see a unit in today's parade called "The Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor." Its members carry on the legacy of their parents, so that this nation will never forget that day.
Cheers to the Kiwanis of the San Ramon Valley for once again putting on a first-class parade. Happy 4th everyone!

Interesting question, must have not even put him on his board.

Crazy to think we could have had Kapernick or Wilson in this past draft.
I know, and both are sooooooooo much better than Romo
games on fox are so annoying
It's over for Seattle.
Thomas just got punked. :laugh1:

Akron police officers injured in crash
(Akron) — Two police officers in a patrol car and a minivan driver and his son have been injured in a pre-dawn, head-on collision in northeast Ohio.
Akron police spokesman Richard Edwards says none of the injuries are life-threatening. All four were taken to Akron hospitals.
Edwards says the crash happened around 5:30 a.m. Friday when the driver of the van turned left in front of the cruiser.
The officers, including a rookie on the force 10 months, were responding to a burglary call.

Breastfeeding in the Car
I just came across this article today and was pretty surprised. I cannot imagine breastfeeding in the car with a baby unrestrained, as it is just so dangerous. The article says that three women were given tickets during Operation Safe Kids. The police found those women who were breastfeeding, but also children in the footwells and luggage compartments.
Did anyone else see this article? I only hope that they have learned how dangerous it can be to not have your child restrained in the car and hopefully no one continues driving that way. I can only imagine how awful it would be if they were in an accident.

Yes - I don't even want to think of what could happen in an accident.

When I think back to when I was a kid, we never wore seat belts. My brother and I climbed all over the back seat. Today, I cannot imagine putting my children - or even myself - into a vehicle without buckling up. I strongly believe women have the right to breastfeed anywhere they want to but not in a moving vehicle. That is very dangerous! My thoughts are -- pull over, breastfeed, then get back on the road.

La Crema's location in the Russian River Valley is ideal for producing wines of uncompromising elegance and balance. To achieve this goal, several unique steps take place in getting fruit from the vineyards to the bottle. It begins in the vineyard, where careful canopy management and hand harvesting assure fully ripe, undamaged grapes are brought to the winery. At the winery, Winemaker Melissa Stackhouse uses artisan winemaking techniques to handcraft wines of distinctive flavor, elegance and balance. View all La Crema Wines
About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Post subject: Defense of old...
That game looked like we were the defense of old- I'm talking our superbowl Defense. Now I'm not saying we are even remotely close to a championship contender at this point but I really think our defense looked like they ENJOYED being out there yesterday. You could see every single player on that field was going full tilt every play.
I also owe Gerald McCoy some credit- I said this is breakout or bust for him this year and as of now- he's stepping up.
#93 sure looked like a former Buc who used to wear #99
#54- as a rookie- looked very similar to another rookie we watched one time wearing #55
and #24 looked a lot like #47 delivering the boom on Steve Smith and then staring him down after.
Let's get after teams every single week like this. Our offense wasn't great- but you don't need a great offense with a great defense

I have to say they definitely exceed all of my expectations and the rookies and new additions looked solid. <3 that Baron hit on Smith
With the Giants and Cowboys coming up, Im interested in seeing how the defense holds up against some very good offenses.

I wouldn't call it our SB defense already....but were on the right path
I dont want to jinx it yet because last year our D handled the Saints and Falcons pretty good the first 4 weeks of the season, after that we got ran on, passed on by everyone and missed every tackle in the world

Barron, and David are both ballers, Im pretty excited with our draft class this year. I agree that one week is not a good indication of where we will be in 16 more weeks, but I think we got a good thing going. Lets see how we do against our next two opponents, then again coming out of the bye week. All I know is i'm excited for our team, and excited to see that it appears Freeman might have actually made some changes, it was nice to see him STEP UP in the pocket, and though the dump offs and hokey pokey offense in the second half got a bit irritating its a good thing we have Martin to dump it off to, I think he can make a normal 3 yard pass something special with a block or two. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUCS!

I thought just being competitive before this weeks game would make me happy, but how we played just makes me ecstatic to see what the future holds. Next week is another true test so let's get ready Bucs fans because I am!

Holding the best rushing Offense in the NFL of last season (150 yards/g, 26 TD's) to 10 yards and no TD's is impressive.
It's a great start, and while I don't expect them to be as consistent as the Top Defenses in the NFL, this Defense will turn in some outstanding performances this season.

Hell of a game. I didn't expect it at all.
DE Everette Brown worked out for the Buccaneers.
He's bounced around the league since he was drafted, but we still need DE help. This makes sense. We'll see if he gets signed.
One more: former Eagles DT Antonio Dixon had a workout w/ the Buccaneers today. No signing there. Dixon also worked out for Giants last wk.
More DL depth couldn't hurt either.

Yeah we need depth there. We have 7 CBS on the roster. I think we say adios to Myron Lewis. McDonald and Johnson played over him Sunday.
Wouldn't mind seeing Brown in a pass rush situational role. I liked corevy Irvin at DT in his limited time. May have found a solid back up.

Are Nine Inch Nails & Soundgarden planning a joint tour?
Listen to Nine Inch Nails on iHeartRadio | Listen to Soundgarden on iHeartRadio
Nine Inch Nails may be hitting the road with Soundgarden this year.
According to ThePRP.com, a date for the rumored joint-tour was briefly listed on LiveNation.com. But the August stop in Dallas has since been deleted, and neither band has released any official statement about the rumor.
However, they've both posted videos on Instagram featuring a similar barrage of photos of North American cities and various concert venues, along with a message that something is coming soon.
Nine Inch Nails are currently touring in Australia with Queens of the Stone Age, but frontman Trent Reznor previously said the band intends to tour again in North America sometime this year.
Likewise, Soundgarden plans to spend 2014 celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Superunknown album, and they've already announced appearances at a handful of upcoming festivals.

A reader asks Miriam to parcel out which of a list of "23 Weird But Understandable Questions You Ask in Your Twenties" are things people really worry about it, and add anything that's missing.
Dear Miriam,
I recently came across a blog post called "23 Weird But Understandable Questions You Ask in Your Twenties." How many of these are things people really worry about? What's missing? Could you pick a couple of your favorites to answer?
Weird but Understandable
Dear Weird,
That is a charming little list of questions, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. I wish, though, that it were titled, "23 Weird but Understandable Questions You Might be Asking if You're in Your Twenties in 2013," because, let's be honest, very few of these are universal or even transferable by a couple of years. That's O.K., though, because this is a viral kind of list, and viral content is only meant to be relevant for about a minute.
The questions seem to fall into three basic categories: technology, life skills and personal health and happiness. The technology questions are fine; I'm sure some people do struggle with whether or not to endorse on LinkedIn. The life skills questions about things like doing taxes and tipping service employees actually probably are on a lot of people's minds, but I think they're hard things to ask because they're hard things to admit that you don't know, even if no one else knows them either. The health and happiness questions (eating fast food, being physically fit, having it "together") are, actually, pretty universal. Eventually, you can make most of these questions come back to real questions of, "Who am I, and what is my purpose in life?" The minutia is all just leading up to these. But you already knew that.
In terms of what's missing, here are some things I hear:
- Am I a social outcast because I don't consider myself a foodie?
- What do I do if the best picture for my online dating profile has someone else's arm in it?
- Should I friend my ex on facebook? (I think I've answered versions of that one a few times.)
- Is it weird that I miss watching ads when I watch shows on DVR?
- Why do clothes have to be dry cleaned?
- Is it too late to start watching [fill in the blank TV show]?
Finally, here are some answers:
#14: Am I too old for clever graphic tees?
Probably, but that doesn't mean there isn't a little wiggle room. Certainly if you work in any kind of professional setting, you're too old to wear them to work except as an undershirt. You're not too old to wear them on weekends or as pajamas or to the gym. You also may be too old to spend money on new ones, so focus your weekend/pajama/gym wearing on the ones you already have. And when you buy new clothes, focus on items that have more options of where and when to wear them. Then, browse your favorite clever tee websites and enjoying reading them and moving on. (There are a few in the slideshow on the right if you're looking for some cleverness right now.)
#17: Is it O.K. that I don't pay super-close attention to social justice issues?
Sure, it's O.K. You can pay attention to whatever you like. You don't have to have a cause or be an activist to be a respectable adult (or even a respectable twenty-something). I don't think it's O.K. to be completely uninformed, however, and there is often a fine line between current events and social justice issues. If, for example, you didn't know there was a typhoon in southeast Asia where hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced, it doesn't just show a lack of attention to social justice issues but a lack of attention to the world. You don't have to know everything about an issue or even care about what's going on, but it's good to be an informed listener when people around you are engaging with broader issues.
If you haven't already, peruse the rest of the list, and who knows, if I don't get a question some week, you just might be seeing some of these again.
Be well,

Shop Swap
[edit] Project Name
[edit] Proposer
Jarrod Hicks firstname.lastname@example.com
[edit] Summary
I propose to switch the location of the Church classroom and the Dirty Shop.
[edit] What Will Be Done
See Drawings.
File:Noisebridge - Sheet - A501 - Shop Swap.pdf
Enclose (E) Church classroom, move sliding door from (E) shop to (N) enclosing wall. Remove rear door in turing and fill in wall. Move Shop equipment and case work to shop. Install electrical and ventilation equipment (TBD). Fill in slider opening to (N) Church. Install door from Turing in (N) Church. Finish and Paint walls in (N) Church. Move classroom equipment to (N) Church.
The church room is 27' long 16' wide and 12' tall. Wall perimeter = 86 Ft. Wall area = 1032 SqFt.
In terms of soundproofing the shop I expect I could: add soundproofing material to the walls, fur them out them out hat channel, and add a 5/8 layer of sheetrock. If we can soundproof:
Pricing Estimates:
[edit] Expensive Option
7/8" Drywall Furring Channel: $9.95 per 12' length. Placed 16" on center to hang 5/8" sheetrock. Estimate 9 rows. 9 x 86 = 774' >> min. 65 lengths = $650.00
dB-Bloc: ultra thin, ultra dense soundproofing membrane. 54" x 30' rolls (135 SqFt) Min 8 rolls at $300.00 per roll = $2400.00
5/8" gypsum board: 8' x 4' piece at 10.00 per. Min 33 pieces = $330.00
Fasteners 100.00
Total 3480.00
So.. I will do more research and see if there is a better solution in terms of price/performance.
[edit] Cheaper Option
This appears to be a common strategy. Sound dampening sealant and compound between the existing wall and a new layer of 5/8" sheetrock.
QuietGlue Pro sound dampening compound. 1 five Gallon bucket of compound should cover 12 sheets of gypsum board. 5 Gallon bucket is $200.00, need 3 buckets so $600.00
Green Glue Noiseproofing Sealant - 6 Tubes = 60.00
5/8" gypsum board: 8' x 4' piece at 10.00 per. Min 33 pieces = $330.00
Fasteners 100.00
Total = $1090.00
Fasteners and equipment = $100.00
[edit] I also wonder if this will work
Two additional layers of 5/8" sheetrock and sealant.
Green Glue Noiseproofing Sealant - 6 Tubes = 60.00
5/8" gypsum board: 8' x 4' piece at 10.00 per. Min 66 pieces = $660.00
Fasteners 100.00
Total = $820.00
[edit] What Areas in the Space Will This Affect
Dirty Shop, Church Classroom
[edit] Who Will Be Doing It
Jarrod Hicks, so far.
[edit] Why This Will Be Good
We will move the noise of the shop to the perphery of NoiseBridge. The shop will be easier to ventilate using the skylight and east windows. It will be closer to the kitchen for cleanup. Church classroom will be near the entrance making classes in church more visible to attendees and other visitors of the space. We will have more control of lighting and noise levels in the classroom.
[edit] Why This Will Be Bad
It will be alot of work. Both rooms will be unuseable during some of the transistion.
Soundproofing and painting the new room will be costly.
Johny Radio: I disagree with this proposal to: -move LOUD activities to the BACK of the space, -and move QUIET activities to the FRONT [of the space.
Here's why: that's fighting the natural acoustics of our environment.
-The front of the space is plagued with street noise. To put quiet activities at the street side will require keeping the front windows closed, to keep out street noise (if you really mean quiet)-- and possibly additional sound-proofing. We need the ventilation and outside light up there.
-The rear of the space is naturally quiet. It's so peaceful and serene in the rear-- no street noise at all. Quiet activities can effortlessly achieve quiet in the rear of the space, even with the rear windows open.
[edit] How Long Will It Take
Most of the work can be done while Noisebridge is open. Timeline TBD.
[edit] In A Fantastic World, What Extra Budget Would You Like
Funds to pay for lumber, sheetrock, paint, electrical equipment, and ventilation fan(s) will be needed. Estimate TBD.
[edit] Are There Any Other PFAs This Would Work Well With
Most Likely, specifics to be added.
[edit] Are There Any Other PFAs This Would Contradict
Currently Unknown, I will provided updates as needed.

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn.- Brevard College freshman Ryan McPhillips scored a goal in his third consecutive game, but BC was unable to rebound from an early offensive attack from Carson-Newman and dropped a 7-1 decision in South Atlantic Conference action Saturday night in Jefferson City, Tenn.
The Eagles (4-2, 1-2 SAC) defeated the Tornados (2-6, 0-2 SAC) for the sixth consecutive time and had multiple players score two goals each on the evening. The Tornados dropped their fifth straight game and fall to 0-5 on the road this season.
Carson-Newman put the game out of reach early when it staked itself to a 3-0 lead by the 17th minute. Sindre Welo, Nico Noll and Ross Frame found the back of the net in the 2nd, 4th and 17th minute, respectively.
McPhillips provided the lone bright spot for the Tornados when he notched his team-high fourth goal at the 24:53 mark to make it a 3-1 match.
However, the Eagles overpowered BC in the second half by outshooting the Tornados, 16-0, and scoring three times in a five minute span to stretch the lead to 7-1.
Carson-Newman's Welo, Frame and Kristian Speake each scored twice while Rumwald Le Guevel amassed three saves on the evening.
Carson-Newman held the advantage in shots, 25-4, while BC allowed a season-high seven goals despite a nine-save effort from Heath Turner.
The Tornados return to action Saturday, Oct. 5 at 4 p.m. when they battle Lincoln Memorial in a SAC match in Brevard, N.C.

Topic: Elevated liver enzymes
Does anyone have any suggestions on lowering elevated liver enzyme levels?
I have been paying more attention to my nutrition and having green drinks, but haven't had any improvements yet.

G--- The only over the counter (WalMart) That could possibly help is MIlk Thistle. I use it myself as well as I believe Mary's husband. Also at Health and foood Store the is something called Multi Enzyme Formula. "Things to stay away from is Sugar, alcohol, antibiotics, pain meds, acetaminphen." Only other option I can think of is blood test to see what ever med you are for taking for pain and possibally changing it. That's about all I know of that. It is mainly the liver really working hard to detox. Also try No Sugar, Al no preservative Sams Choice Grape Juice 120or 130% 12 oz glasses slowly drink off and on .Your body odor will tell you that detoxing is going on.
Hope this is of some help.
God Bless,
Thanks for your advice, Jeff.
I agree with Jeff. Milk Thistle helped my husband a lot. Be sure to get a good quality that has the recommended amounts of silymarin. Also check out foods that are recommended for liver health. One of the best is fresh pineapple. We eat some every day. I also am big on beet root extract. My husband couldn't tolerate having beets juiced with his carrot juice when he first got sick so I started giving him beet root supplements. It's the only thing that I have ever read that states it's good for bile duct health.Good luck. I hope your #'s come down. Mary
I'm taking a Milk Thistle extract that this time, Nature's Way Super Thisilyn-- I wonder if I should try one of those liquid Milk Thistle extracts instead?
Can you recommend a brand of beet root extract? Oh, never mind I see on your other post that I should look for Nature's Way.
I've been giving my husband Solaray Milk Thistle -one daily. I like this because most other kinds require several pills a day and this simplifies things.I think the important thing is the amount of silymarin. The solaray is guaranteed 280 mg. or 80% silymarin and 350 mg. milk thistle which is what I guess I thought was the right amount. There is another Solaray product that is supposed to be absorbed more quickly and I did get that at one time but right now things are going well as far as liver enzymes. I think it was Thisilyn so you are probably right on. I don't know about the liquid form. Good luck aand Merry Christmas. Mary
Thanks again Mary and Merry Christmas to you!
I've used milk thistle as well, fish oil I also think is key for overall immune system help. Also juiced veggies are good nutritionally but not as easy to digest as steamed veggies according Chinese medicine. The idea is that the extra nutrients in the raw veggies may be lost with our difficulty digesting them well. Steamed or cooked veggies are much easier on our systems and therefore the net gain is better.
I think one of the most important things with our livers is to try not to tax them any more then necessary. The drugs and chemo that many of us have had are sometimes toxic for the liver and just compounding that part of the problem but hopefully help in other ways. I am on a bile salt drug, Ursodiol, which does seem to have helped my liver numbers.
Other then trying to eat well I do try to avoid toxins which the liver must filter out. I miss my glass of red wine but that's surely worth it. Even tylenol is known to be hard on the liver. It's all a question of balance in this game and we all have to weight the choices in lots of ways.
Not much specific help here I know. As always we all want the non existent silver bullet. Be well, think good thoughts, love lots!
I found your comment on steamed veggies very interesting. I have been doing the Milk Thistle and many other supplements-- along with juicing veggies and blendering fruits and veggies this last week (how many ways can you slip kale into your diet?). And paradoxically my liver enzymes have been even worst!
So it may be that I should try doing all the supplements but concentrate more on lightly cooking my veggies. And no extra toxins for sure - mental and physical.
Great point about the mental toxins. That's a key but can be the hardest to obtain on the down days.
Hi all,
My liver enzymes have gone down to normal! Thanks for all your help.
Now, back to dealing with those pesky proliferating peritoneal tumors.
