The 5 Most Dangerous Food Myths
When you're in the health business, you tend to hear a lot of confusing and damaging messages. Some come from influential people: Doctors, researchers, and TV experts. But the most important information isn't heard in the media--it's in the gym, what you overhear in restaurants, and the conversations you have with your friends. The perception of the truth by "real" people is what really matters.
These days, the biggest problem is that media messages are creating a wave of confusion--especially about food. Meat will kill you. White rice will give you diabetes. Chocolate will make you drop pounds. It's enough to make your head spin. Unfortunately, that type of spinning doesn't burn any calories and tends to do more harm than good. So I wanted to set the record straight: What is the truth about the dangers and benefits of food?
You see, food is vilified in our society. Just this past week, a co-worker casually mentioned, "Eating is cheating." There might have been some sarcasm inserted, but the point was made: People are confused about eating. And while the nation (and world) is overweight as a whole, the mixed messages surrounding food only contributes to the problem. The reality? Food is good. Food is power, energy, and something that should be enjoyed. It also happens to be one of the most confusing health topics and one that people genuinely don't understand.
To provide some clarity, I spoke with Dr. Yoni Freedhoff. Dr. Freedhoff knows a thing or two about food and weight loss. That's what happens when you're the founder and Medical Director of the Bariatric Medical Institute--a place dedicated to non-surgical treatment of the overweight and obese. The best part about Dr. Freedhoff? He comes equipped with a no-BS filter and action-oriented advice. He's just what the health industry needs, and his advice can help you become more educated, make better decisions that work for you, and allow you to start enjoying food.
Here are 5 of the most damaging foods myths, according to Dr. Freedhoff, and what he says you can do to take charge.
1. Well-Researched Studies are Always Accurate
Let's set the record straight: Any absolute statement made in the media is absolutely misleading. If a headline identifies a specific food as a killer or a savior, you can rest assured whatever study they're basing their headline on wasn't actually powerful enough to answer that question.
Nutritional epidemiology is the study of the impact of food on chronic disease, but the best we're ever going to read are observational studies that, in turn, try to tease out what it is in our diets that are conferring risks or benefits. The only way to ever truly study particular foods would be to randomly assign tens of thousands of people to identical diets with the exception of the food in question and then follow them for years. That just isn't going to happen.
My advice for when you see one of those headlines is to just plain ignore them (for examples why, here are my takes on red meat, white rice, and chocolate) as there's no doubt there's no more such thing as a true superfood hero or villain as there is a real life Spiderman or Green Goblin.
2. If it's "Natural" it Must Be Good
There are a great many mushrooms growing in my front yard that I'm not about to toss into my salad, and just because it had a mother doesn't mean I should eat inexpertly prepared portions of fugu. Everything is made of chemicals, and those chemicals, just as the They Might Be Giants kids' song "Meet the Elements" will tell you, are mostly made of 4 elements. How those elements are put together is ultimately what makes something safe or healthy, not who has put them together. So whether they're assembled by humankind or by nature really doesn't matter. The notion that everything's put on earth simply to service us is an incredibly arrogant.
Next time you see the word "natural" on the front of a package, remember, it's just a sales pitch. If a product needs to pitch to you from its package front that it's healthy, it's probably not. Turn it over, actually read the ingredients and nutrition facts panel and then decide.
3. Healthy Options Have Simple Ingredient Lists
I love Michael Pollan (author of In Defense of Food, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Food Rules) as much as the next guy, but we need to clarify something that's misleading: Just because you can pronounce it, doesn't make it good. I can pronounce trans-fat pretty easily; along with its more covert twin brothers hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. I can also pronounce pepperoni, white flour, bacon double cheeseburger and lollipop, but that doesn't mean I should make those foods a regular part of my diet.
However, the incredible looking lamb stew that's simmering on my stove? It has more than 5 ingredients--but that doesn't make it bad for me. And yet, if we went by some of the "short ingredient list is best" ideology, we'd be missing out on a lot of very healthy and delicious food options.
Eating isn't about all-or-nothing rules. And that holds true whether you're talking about research studies, the occasional dessert, or ingredient profiles. You need to use your own thinking cap and evaluate your choices for what they are. Remember that however confused the world has made you, given that you're on LIVESTRONG.COM, you probably already have a better sense of what's right and wrong nutritionally then you give yourself credit for. You simply have to take the time to actually read ingredients and nutrition facts panels, then do some critical thinking.
4. Calories Don't Matter, Foods Do
Here's a rule that applies to all diets: There's no plan, regime, or program that will negate the absolute truth that calories are the currency of weight.
There are certainly those who'll tell you differently and usually they're low-carb folks. Now that doesn't mean that you have to count calories in order to succeed with weight management (if you do, that's what the Calorie Tracker is for), but it also doesn't mean that there are magical fairy foods that you can eat with abandon and not worry about gaining weight. Low-carb diets do, in fact, help many lose weight without counting. Want to know how? They lead people to consume fewer calories.
But that said, actually considering the calories in ANY diet might help a great deal. Imagine if you were on a strict budget--would you ever shop without first looking at price tags?
And yet, this is exactly what people do when they're struggling to lose weight--even people on low-carb plans. Even though low-carb folks tend to have lesser appetites and consume fewer calories, there are many low-carb dieters who have been frustrated by what they see as plateaus, which perhaps, on careful caloric inspection, might have just be a result of eating more calories than they were burning.
If you're stuck at a particular weight, regardless of the approach you're taking to weight management, keep a careful food diary (yup, scales, spoons, cups and all – but they're not there to limit you, they're just there to tell you how much you're having) and figure out exactly what's going into your body. Only then will you be able to decide what you should keep and what doesn't make the cut.
5. Changing Your Lifestyle Fixes Your Diet
Most people I know don't want something that's temporary. A fleeting fortune or happiness is almost more cruel than beneficial--it offers a taste of what you want and then rips it from your grasp. This is why fad diets don't work on a psychological or physical level. Whether it's an exceedingly restrictive all-liquid diet, or the adoption of an eating style that you either don't like or that leaves you desperately missing what's gone, the weight you lose living a life you don't enjoy is weight that will not stay off. The smaller you become, the fewer calories you burn. If your calorie reduction comes as a consequence of suffering, I'll bet my bottom dollar that when you get sick of suffering and slowly slide back into your old likable lifestyle, the old calories and their old weights will return.
Your real goal? Live the healthiest life you can enjoy, not the healthiest life you can tolerate. Yes, if you have weight to lose, you'll have to make changes. But if you change so far from who you are and what you enjoy, odds are that it's not a sustainable plan. Don't aim for your so-called "ideal" weight; instead aim for what I refer to as your "best" weight, which is the weight you reach when living the healthiest life you can actually enjoy.
Try any harder and eventually you'll quit. And when it comes to your health and your body, that's something you can't afford to risk.

A rapid assay for retroviral reverse transcriptase activity released into the culture medium by infected cells was developed. With the assay, 4,000 clonally infected cell lines could be tested in a few hours. We have adapted the assay for use as a screen for the detection of spontaneous viral mutants. Mutants of Moloney murine leukemia virus have been isolated which (i) produce a thermolabile reverse transcriptase, (ii) are temperature sensitive for release of enzyme activity, or (iii) can only productively infect cells already producing gag-related polypeptides. The assay has also been useful for the isolation of nonproducer cells infected with various replication-defective transforming viruses.

These look great and function well in my GX470. The fit is a little off on the front passenger side near the right kick panel. There is about a 1-2" gap from the edge of the mat to the plastic molding of the kick panel. It's not bad though.

The one place they aren't asking that question this morning is Alaska, where GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has already made a splash as a reform-minded governor. (Although Alaskans have to be as surprised as anybody that a first-term governor from a deep red state with three electoral votes was tapped.)
Check out the coverage on our Anchorage sister paper's website for more background on the candidate. Here's a deep profile of her, written in 2006 while she was mayor of Wasilla.
Here's an excerpt:
Sarah Palin's campaign for governor sounds a lot like her campaign for mayor of Wasilla 10 years ago, when she made her first big move in Alaska politics.
In 1996, Palin ran against an "old boy network" that she said controlled local government. She vowed to replace "stale leadership" and a "tax-and-spend" mentality with "fresh ideas and energy."
Local voters warmed to Palin's ease in public and her disarming personal touch as much as to her conservative message. And she was a local girl: daughter of a popular local teacher and coach, she was a one-time Miss Wasilla and, in a basketball-mad town, was practically canonized as the point guard for Wasilla's 1982 girls' state championship team.
But her political opponents say there was another side to the charming candidate — one captured by her nickname from those basketball years, "Sarah Barracuda." Supporters consider the name a testament to her aggressive play and ferocious defense. But opponents said the name captured a predatory instinct that Palin could turn on friend as well as foe — one they said occasionally revealed itself in the mayoral years to come.

Hillary Clinton Calls Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar's Foreign Minister
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Myanmar's foreign minister and pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi in a call on Saturday the United States is committed to walking down the path of reform with the Southeast Asian nation.
One day after President Barack Obama's administration said it would upgrade ties with Myanmar in response to its amnesty for hundreds of political prisoners and other reforms, Clinton told Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwin that Washington is prepared to meet action with action.
But Clinton said it was important Myanmar take steps to unconditionally release all remaining political prisoners, end violence and human-rights abuses in ethnic areas, and address concerns about the country's military ties to North Korea.
Details of Clinton's phone call were outlined in an emailed statement from State Department representative Victoria Nuland.
Clinton and Suu Kyi exchanged views on by-elections set for April 1, and the need to continue to work for national reconciliation. Suu Kyi said she supports U.S. efforts to engage the government in Yangon.
Myanmar held elections last March that saw a nominally civilian government -- although still heavily weighted toward the military -- take over from the ruling junta and launch what has become a rapid series of political reforms.
Those have included freeing Suu Kyi in November 2010, loosening media restrictions and other repressive laws, and working to end long-running conflicts with ethnic insurgent groups, including Karen rebels who signed a ceasefire agreement on Thursday.
Clinton's trip to the isolated nation in December ended some five decades of official estrangement. At the time, she promised the United States would respond to further reforms.

You might have already seen snippets of this lovely wedding on the amazing Design Sponge, but I was so excited when Alyson Fox sent over images of her wedding to share with us. Alyson is an incredible artist and designer and I can't wait to see the collection she tells us about below. She was kind enough to share a few details about how she and her husband met and their lovely wedding for Once Wed…
I am an artist and I also have a small design side to my madness. I
make a little of everything. Playing and trying to be self supporting
with it all. I also have a collaboration with a designer in Brooklyn
called "Fox in Mociun" It's printed tees, and will soon be
undergarments with fun prints and colors. My husband and I meet in Grad school in Boulder Colorado. He was
studying Art History and I was Studio Art. We moved to Austin after
school. He started his own interactive design agency a little over a
year ago with 2 other partners called Coloring Book Studio. I am really fortunate because he makes me wonderful websites and take great care of me.
We really wanted a low key wedding that was fun and "Us" and keeping it
at a reasonable budget. We decided on a Brunch wedding since we both
love eating brunch on Sunday. We had breakfast tacos, potatoes,
muffins, casseroles and fruit. Regarding inspiration for the wedding, I only wanted white with accents of black. My dress was made from a WWII parachute that I got off of e-bay and a vintage kimono
that had some black drawings of birds and bunnies on it. I ended up making my garter belt too and it was super easy to do. I just took a
vintage ribbon, sewed a bit of elastic on it to fit my leg and then
hand sewed the detail fabric on it that I got from a vintage slip.
The flowers from the wedding we found by going to a flower company and picking
out fun looking flowers that were white and black/plumish in color. I
wanted a very simple hand picked look, so my mother in law did them all
with her friends and I just love them. I did a drawing for the invitations that we had embossed by Sesame letterpress onto thick card stock to go with our whole "Tying the Knot" theme. My friends and I actually made the origami flowers by finding instructions on line. We used white computer paper to create them and scattered them on the grass for the ceremony.
Stay tuned for Part II of Alyson's lovely wedding coming up next….

This is by far the coolest wedding I have ever seen. I love the holga images, origami, and her insanely fabulous wedding dress.
She made her dress out of a parachute? How awesome is that! I wish I could come up with ideas like this. Can't wait to see Part II.
that garter is amazing. it is the first one ive seen that i would actually wear. i also like the origami touch. how fun.
Such a sweet wedding. This is exactly what a need to get started planning mine.
One-of-a-kind dresses make me so happy!
Where was the wedding? The pictures are fantastic.
Alyson, I am getting married at Mercury Hall next September, and we are on a tight budget too! If you can give me any advise for affordable caterers or rentals, I would be so thankful. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks!

Back to You[CD]
~ Jim Lilienthal
Product Notes
Jim was born and raised in the Boston area. He came from a musical family.While growing up, he rememebrs music always being played in his home. His job, throughout high school and during the summer, was working in a local music store selling guitars. He emjoyed listening to well-known musicians who frequented the many small venue coffee shops in Cambridge's Harvard Square; this influenced his music. Jim has been playing for over 30 years. Three years ago he began studying music under Tim Uecker who encouraged him to begin composing his own music. He began recording simply as a way to have a record of his music. To his surprise, people enjoyed the music so he decided to release the first CD, "Radio In My Head." In spring 2006 Jim released "Back to You," his third CD. Jim's musical style is diverse and described best as eclectic acoustic. Compositions are varied and range from ballads to blues. In our fast moving world, his approach is simple, straightforward and uncomplicated. Jim draws on people and experiences for inspiration. The story behind writing "Back to You" centered around him frequently having to fly out of town on business. As the day of departure would draw near Jim's wife, Frani, would become saddened. Jim would try to comfort and reassure her saying, "Don't worry. I'll always find a way to come back to you". Jim is accompanied by Tim Uecker on all his recordings. Jim's son Andy is an accomplished guitarist and accompanied Jim on acoustic guitar on Jim's 2nd, CD, "Midnight Drifter". All of Jim's CDs were recorded at Unusually Sound Recordings with Gabe Johnston as Engineer. Jim occasionally plays in the Portland, Oregon area. He believes the uniquely rich sound of an acoustic guitar stands on it's own as an unparalleled and expressive instrument. Jim and his wife Frani live in the Porland, Oregon / Vancouver, Washington area.

Corona SDK Pro Tip #36
SmartPixel config.lua
You all know the
config.lua file and you know how important it is. However, using the standard configuration makes your apps and games a little blurry on devices with different resolution than iPhone 4 or 5.
Here is the standard
Standard config.lua
application = {
content = {
width = 320,
height = 480,
scale = 'letterbox',
fps = 60,
imageSuffix = {
['@2x'] = 1.1,
['@4x'] = 2.1
The problem here is that content width and content height are fixed. And on iPad the game will be a little blurry. But to make it pixel perfect for iPad you must specify 384x512 as the content size. Being multiplied by 2 that would result in 768x1024 - native screen resolution of non-retina iPad.
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #35
Dynamic masks without display.newContainer()
Masks are extremely useful for building a rich UI or some game elements. However it's use in Corona SDK is somewhat limited. To use a mask we must create a specific PNG file with size equal to masking area.
You can end up with many mask files for all kind of sizes. Wouldn't it be cool if you didn't need all these files? And Corona Labs introduced
display.newContainer() which is a group with a resizable mask glued to it. You can change the size of the container and you don't need to use many mask files.
However there is one downside using containers - coordinates
x = 0, y = 0 is the center of the container and you can't change it to say the top left corner. So if you rely on the top left positioning of the elements in the container - you have to subtract half width and half height of the container from position of every object inside the container. Sometimes it's very hard to do and the code becomes very hard to follow.
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #34
Transition.to() for simple numbers
transition.to() and other similar functions are designed to work only on display objects. But what if you need to smoothly transition a simple number instead?
A recent tutorial from Corona Labs pushed me to share this method. The idea is to use a simple table instead of a display object and with help of a metatable track a variable being transitioned inside this table.
I'll take the code from that tutorial as a base and modify it to use a metatable and
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #33
Timer precision
timer.performWithDelay() function, the delay time is not exact, it's affected by your app's FPS.
If you pass a delay value lower than FPS tick time, the timer listener will be invoked on the next frame.
For 60 FPS, tick time is 16.6ms, for 30 FPS - 33.3ms. If you rely on times lower than these values - it won't work.
I usually use
1 when I need something to be invoked on the next frame. For example in a collision listener.
timer.performWithDelay(1, function()
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #32
Table instead of "if else" wall
Lua language lacks a
switch statement. Instead we use a wall of
if ... elseif ... elseif ... statements.
However it may be not the most efficient or prettier way. There is a great page listing alternative approaches, how to code something similar to the
switch statement.
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #31
Limiting numbers
One of the most used addition to
math library is a
math.clamp() function, which forces a number to be within specific boundaries.
function math.clamp(value, low, high)
if low and value <= low then
return low
elseif high and value >= high then
return high

Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #29
App specific variables
All Corona applications have names, App Store id, Google Play id and some other app specific variables.
I define them in my
main.lua and use all over my code when needed.
My typical
main.lua has this code somewhere near the top:
local app = require('lib.app')
app.name = '2048 Hex'
app.font = 'GlasnostDemibold'
app.fontbold = native.systemFontBold
app.iOSID = '841721448'
app.androidID = 'com.spiralcodestudio.hexled'
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #28
EnterFrame manager
Often you need to use
enterFrame listeners in your game. Sometimes you need many of them (for example one for every game object in your game) and keeping track of them becomes really difficult. You have to remove them manually or you will get runtime errors.
The code inside
enterFrame is invoked each frame.
To gain more control over these listeners I've created a set of functions which can be called as "enterFrame manager."
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #27
print() statement
Don't overuse
print() statement. If you often print some data, it may significantly slow down your app or game.
It's more noticeable on low-end devices.
If you already have a lot of
print() statements, just replace the function with a blank one before building binaries for the stores.
function _G.print()
-- Do nothing

SINGAPORE: Singaporean police said the suspected boss of a major football match-fixing ring was "assisting" investigations yesterday after the head of Interpol urged his arrest and an alleged associate was held in Italy.
Tan Seet Eng, also known as Dan Tan, who has been named in several probes and is wanted in Italy, but denies wrongdoing, is "currently assisting Singapore authorities in their investigations," a police statement said.
It is the first time police have indicated Tan has undergone questioning. Singapore has come under growing pressure to act after Europol linked hundreds of suspicious games worldwide to a criminal syndicate in the city-state.
Police also confirmed they gave the tip-off that led to the arrest of Admir Sulic, an alleged associate of Tan, as he arrived at Milan's Malpensa airport from Singapore earlier on Thursday.
"The Singapore authorities have been offering assistance and sharing available information with affected countries and will continue to do so," the statement said.
"Dan Tan Seet Eng, a Singaporean who has been named in reports so far, is currently assisting Singapore authorities in their investigations." It added: "In response to media queries, the Singapore Police Force confirms that it had informed the National Crime Bureau (NCB) Rome of the travel plans of a person wanted by the Italian authorities for investigations into match-fixing." .".. The person has since been arrested by the Italian authorities and NCB Rome has thanked the police for its support in this matter." The apparent crackdown comes just hours after Interpol secretary-general Ronald Noble, speaking at a match-fixing conference in neighboring Malaysia, bluntly told Singapore to arrest Tan.
Tan is wanted in Italy over the wide-ranging "calcioscommesse" scandal and emerged as a key suspect two weeks ago when Europol said fixers had targeted 380 games in Europe and 300 more around the world.
"The fact that there can be an alleged organized crime head operating in a country known to be safe, secure like Singapore, distresses Singaporeans and distresses the world," Noble said on Thursday.
He also revealed that Singapore police had given a tip-off that a match-fixing suspect was en route from Singapore to Milan.
Interpol later said Slovenian Admir Sulic, 31, a suspected member of the so-called "zingari" (gypsies) syndicate allegedly headed by Tan, was arrested after touching down in the northern Italian city.
An international arrest warrant was issued for Sulic in December 2011 in connection with the "calcioscommesse" (football betting) scandal in Italy which implicated dozens of players, coaches and officials.
Interpol said Sulic was suspected of "fraud and qualified sporting fraud committed within criminal association," and was wanted for questioning in relation to alleged match-rigging by Tan's organization linked to suspect results in some 60 countries.
Tan's name has cropped up in multiple investigations but he has so far remained at large in Singapore, where police last week said they needed hard evidence before arresting anyone.
Europol's report has put a renewed focus on match-fixing, which has long been documented in Asia and now appears to be increasing throughout the world, fueled by the advent of lucrative online gambling.
Only this week, China handed out bans, fines and points deductions at the end of a major investigation into match-fixing and corruption, and claims emerged in Thailand that criminals tried to rig the country's FA Cup final last year.

P.O. Box 460791
Escondido, CA 92046
Mark Twain famously said, "Buy land, they're not making it anymore."
We are thrilled to announce that The Escondido Creek Conservancy (TECC) has joined with The Friends of Daley Ranch and the Palomar Audubon Society, taking Mark Twain's words to heart. At the end of 2015, The Escondido Creek Conservancy (TECC) was able to put two new properties into escrow: the 694-acre Mountain Gate property in the Hidden Meadows area, and the 282-acre John Henry Ranch near Lake Wohlford. At one time approximately 147 homes were proposed for Mountain Gate, and in recent years there were attempts to develop the John Henry Ranch. Instead, with your help, the properties can be purchased and preserved forever, creating new nature preserves in northern Escondido where wildlife can thrive. We are also in discussions with the owner of another property in this area whose land, if also acquired, would link all these properties to Daley Ranch, Lake Wohlford and Bottle peak, creating one of the most significant protected areas in North County!
TECC has less than three years to close escrow on these properties, but we must decide by the end of 2016 if there is sufficient community support to proceed or risk losing our deposits. Immediate contributions towards these projects will help us fund option payments, appraisals, and other transaction costs. We are seeking grants and other funds to meet the sales prices, which total $11.55 million. If we can make significant progress towards our 2016 fundraising goal of $300,000, we will feel confident in this support and continue the work to protect these important properties.
With your help, we can save these properties! Donations are tax deductible.

ASDA Mobile Customer Reviews
Asda simplified my mobile plan
With my contract up I was on the hunt for a new mobile provider that didn't require a lengthy contract. After hearing some good things about Asda I figured I'd give it a go, since I already do my grocery shopping there and it's quite an established brand. One of the bits that made me really unhappy about my former mobile company was the price, so when I looked into Asda I saw the prices were loads better.
The Asda mobile website made it easy to find what I needed; since I already had a phone and didn't need a new one, all I had to do was buy the mobile SIM pack from Asda. Since I really don't chat much on my mobile, something that allowed me to have a low number of monthly minutes suited me. I looked into the Asda bundles and the website was nicely organized into medium usage, high usage, textaholic, and so forth. I decided the everyday plan with 100 minutes and 100 texts per month was the best option, but I love that I'm not locked into this. I can change my bundle each month depending on my needs. Once I purchased the SIM pack all I did was send a text with the bundle name to a certain number and I was able to use the minutes over 30 days. Couldn't be easier – thanks, Asda.

Iridescent - posted on 04/19/2010 ( 7 moms have responded )
We have a 3 year old that is developmentally delayed and likely autistic. He's always suffered from chronic diarrhea, to the point where he has only had 2 "normal" stools in his life, both of which were coated in lots of mucous. We thought he was having major allergies, so we started the elimination diet.
Pulled milk. His "asthma" disappeared! We were so happy. His diarrhea calmed down, but didn't disappear. Removed and reintroduced tomatoes to find it's a definite trigger. Had no progress with other foods for a long time, but now literally everything we feed him causes diarrhea. If he eats, he has liquid stools. Period.
We got him in for allergy testing on Wednesday (2 days from now). Took him to his therapy appointments and while there happened to comment that he can't blow out. So we tested it. He can't blow out a candle, or a blow a whistle, or a little puff ball off his lips, or his nose. We opened up a party thing and had him blow into the tissue paper to see how much volume he has; he took a deep breath and blew for all he had. He filled the tube 7 inches...thin little tube, estimated 75mL volume. No wonder the kid can't blow! He currently does not have a lung infection or asthma symptoms.
Remembered more of his history, some of which includes a full year of pneumonia that finally resolved last May. Called the allergy clinic and requested we do more testing when we go in. The allergy clinic assesses for asthma along with the allergens, so no problem there. But we also want to find out if his constant diarrhea is possibly not due to allergies but to an absorption problem and related to his lung problems, because even if he has asthma, his breathing should be ok when not infected or having an attack, and it is not. So we're going to have CF tested for as well. It's looking more and more likely, everything we look at.
Anyone else dealing with this or allergies plus asthma that acts like this?

Eco-friendly, fun to play, and a great value!
The Seagull Coastline S6 GT is a dreadnought acoustic guitar with a burst finish that exudes the flash of some other acoustic guitars but with earthy colors that retain the natural look of wood.
There's just something classic about a sunburst finish on an acoustic guitar, and it has always been a popular choice.
Seagull Coastline series guitars are one of the world's outstanding values in acoustic guitars. The back and sides of the Coastline series guitars are made from a 3-layer lamination of wild cherry wood. Seagull Coastline series guitars also feature very smooth necks made from Silver Leaf Maple.
With a sound that lands somewhere between the mellow tone of a mahogany guitar and the bright sound of maple, wild cherry has proven itself to be an excellent guitar tone wood. Grown locally, wild cherry is also an ecologically friendly choice.
- Top: Solid cedar
- Back: Wild Cherry laminate
- Sides: Wild Cherry laminate
- Neck: Silver Leaf Maple
- Fretboard: Rosewood, 21 frets
- Body: Dreadnought
- Finish: Rustic Burst
- Nut: 1.8"

Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
Not a bad guitar right out of the box, untouchable in this price range. But at times the sound did seem a little tinny to me before making a couple of upgrades. It didn't come with a pick gaurd, so I immediately took care of that. But the best thing I did for sound was replace the factory saddle and bridge pins, which I think are Tusq, with custom bone replacements from Bob Colesi. Wow...what a difference. There's no strap button at the base of the neck either from the factory. But I also ordered one of those from Bob Colesi, and followed Seagull's specific instructions to install it. I recommend running either D'Addario EXP's, light gauge, phospher bronze, (not 80/20's). Or Elixir, same type & size. Or go with medium lights if you insist on 80/20's. It seems these two strings give me the richest sound, at least with the bone upgrades. This is a solid, well made instrument made in Canada by Godin in Quebec. It has a slightly wider neck, (1.8), than most steel strung guitars which I have grown to really like. Upgrades, or not, this guitar is untouchable in it's price range. And in fact competes with guitars well over twice it's cost with just a little love.P.S. I also ended getting a Matrix Infinity pick-up installed last week. The plugged-in sound is unbelievable!!!
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
There is no comparison of this model to any Pac-Rim made guitar on the planet.Fretbosrd and spacing are like butter. Did not need setup. Solid built, yet lighter than an S6 that I sent back because of poor fretboard. I thought the Coastline series might have better quality control. I was right. Super volume when pushed. Brighter, but not quite as balanced as an American Martin, but way better than the Martin imports.Sunburst finish is terrific. Blends perfectly into the cherry (lam) sides.If you look real hard, you will see that it is not finished quite as well as a $1,000+ North American, but again, looking real close.If you want a terrific guitar, that will look, feel, and play far into your future, this is the one. No one can knock it. The fact it was a bargain will be a distant memory.Did I mention, you can drown out any of your buddies dreads in volume... so practice! ;-)
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I bought this baby used after the New Year for a very reasonable price. Unfortunately it hadn't been played for almost a year and the wood was nearly dried out from being stashed away. Luckily I have some Ernie Ball fret conditioning wipes and polish, so once I stripped the strings I gave this baby a total makeover and WOW - it is something to see in person. The beautiful Sunburst tone is a classical look that not only accents the rosewood frets and cherry wood sides well but hanging on the wall it can be a centerpiece in anyone's collection. Holding this thing for the first time felt like I had something organic in my hand. That's a huge statement considering that most of the guitars in this price range feel really boxy and mass-produced, like something without a spirit or personality. Man does this guitar have PERSONA! You can tell from the satin cherry wood side/back to the rosewood wood frets that this thing comes from REAL wood. Something that was once alive and breathing before being manifested into a beautiful piece of art through years of tradition (Godin is known for its love of fine woods and craftsmanship). I have to wipe it down with polish after every nearly session!With quality built tuners that help sustain tone throughout, I only had to re-tune once during the re-string after I let the strings stretch. Since then they have been set and hold in place nicely.The bone colored nut and bridge pins, along with saddle offer a nice touch visually but are not the real thing. I see myself upgrading to real bone soon.The only downside to this guitar is that it can be a bit difficult to play at first. The action is a bit high from what I'm used to (2 Yamahas and an Epiphone) and the frets are in fact larger than standard. Playing open chords can be easier, but barring and transitioning will take some time and practice due to its oversize. But what it lacks in playability it redeems itself in TONE.The recommended string gauge is about an RPM 12, but I placed DR Rare 11s on and the bass response is still pretty good. Not too heavy, but strong mids and bright highs. The tone is very warm and surprisingly very uniform. I own a Yamaha FG720s and I thought that was a pretty darn good guitar, but right off the bat the Seagull made its presence known. It is something I will hold onto for many years and I wait anxiously for it to mature into my collection. I can't wait to hear what it will sound like in 10 years!
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
Though this guitar doesn't have all the fancy inlays, it is second to none in looks. I bought this guitar in January 09 and it still holds its tune well. Like all Seagull guitars, moving up and down the fretboard is so much easier then most other guitars I've played. It really responds well when flatpicked. It has good highs and lows. The only thing I didn't like was it seemed a little quiet and muffled when played fingerstyle. It is still a good buy, no doubt.
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I bought this guitar about 10 months ago and it was my first upgrade from my first guitar that I had received for my birthday. Anyways the guy in the guitar shop new that this was guitar for me when I explained to him the kind of sound that I wanted. I fell in love with the thing from the first strum and it just gets better and better with every month that passes! I think anyone who wants a great guitar for a cheap price, should just buy this one! You probably wont regret it!The only draw back is that since the top is cedar, its super easy to dent and scratch. So treat it like a newborn baby!
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
This guitar rocks! Get one especially if you are on a tight budget. Its worth more than what you pay, for Sure!
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I bought my S6 GT Burst on an auction site. I had played a friends S6 and figured it was worth the risk. Well, this guitar has massively exceeded my expectations. Its obviously done some work and was much loved by the previous owner (who incidentally bought a new Seagull). When it arrived I took it straight to my local luthier to have it checked over and setup. Very slight twist in the neck (fixed) and that was it. I love this guitar and hope to never have to sell it. Its a testament to the build quality of Seagulls.

Airport pay talks to resume
It's back to the bargaining table today for top officials of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) and management of Grantley Adams International Airport Inc. (GAIA Inc.).
This follows a recent breakdown in their negotiations that has sparked a workers' picket at the island's lone airport.
At issue is pay.
The NUPW is demanding a 16 per cent increase for employees at GAIA Inc.
However, Cabinet has rejected that proposal, as well as the counter offer from GAIA management of a 15.5 per cent pay hike.
The Freundel Stuart administration has so far been adamant that any increase for the airport workers would have to be considered within the context of pay increase for the entire public service.
However, the two sides are preparing to resume their negotiations at 2PM today in the hope of ending the ongoing workers' protest.
14 Responses to Airport pay talks to resume
O K ! It's fair deal if you are awarded your increase but you must remember Government can have its administration institute new rules of play here. Lets explain. Productivity reports can be required from your department of employment on a trimester basis. Urine analysis and psychological evaluation at random. We are in a very competitive environment as we speak of employment in today's job market so employees demands can be met by the employer's administration of demanding work ethic policy. If your increase in salary is good for you it should be better for the government service that you are allowed to serve within.
Well said Helicopter. I would like to see CCTV installed also. They couldn't object if the GAIA was privately owned and operated. It would meet International security and safety standard then. The streets of London are loaded with CCTVs No one objects.
Lets hope that some agreement can be reached.
Make sure the RBPF get piece of the action. (MONEY)
GAIA CEOs etc making nuff money and want to renege on the pay increase they promised the workers YEARS ago. Don't mind the ignorant Barbadians too ignorant and fart-frightened to stand for nothing and who does fall for everything, do what wanna have to do to get what is owed to wanna.
well said
Come on, fix it! Pass the bucket at the airport, I will gladly chip in if it means we don't have to wait in line for one or two hours and the workers get a decent salary.
@, Phil , hail ,hail, well said bajans need to be more productive and its about time the sector be privatize, our government cant manage (Barbados LTD)
"……..our government cant manage (Barbados LTD)"
So you are saying that Black people cant manage Barbados?
In your opinion we ought to bring back the White British Colonists?
The said union that is leading these workers agreed some years ago to take a future percentage off the table to close the then negotiations. So currently the GAIA don't owe the workers any past monies. Thats why they're asking for 16 percent. GAIA management is saying 15.5 while government is saying the increase should match that of civil servants.
Solution: NUPW request a fast tracked date from government for all negotiations.
Agree to have these employees pay increase made retroactive to the date negotiations started.
Let the employment rights tribunal rule whether government's stand on negotiations is lawful and if the GAIA management offer to the workers has to be accepted by government as the operation is run by a board of management and not in Bay Street.
There's no need for a strike or other forms of work to rule. Let the tribunal system work, test it as it will be the way of life for the unions in the near future. Our youthful union leadership have to test the systems in place now or they will be like sitting ducks later and only social unrest will result.
Look we have to be careful. "A sheep head a day is more than a cattle head a year". This is our country and things are rough. Let us cut and contrive. Let us conserve and contain. Increases should be granted across the board to all workers paid from the taxes at similar levels. To give a 16 % hike to GAIA is courting bare trouble with other workers. The Government had better take care and stand firm and be fair to ALL.
Waste of time.
Which employer, private sector or Public sector, in any part of the World pays a 16% increase in salary?
Who pays more for doing the same job?
come on bajans stop acting like slaves, these monies were owed to these people years now, management makes the lump some so what about the employees, this is the reason people come and spit in u all face when they get enough of wanna they quit call a recession and leave d island with they pocket full
Could be 16 percent over 3 years.

When ABC announced its fall schedule in May, the network's critics and competitors were skeptical. Not only were its aging dramas quickly eroding, but ABC faced a formidable task in launching a whopping 13 new series.
It seemed like a tall order for ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee, who was coming off his first full development season at the network. But as NBC sinks into an even deeper slump, ABC has somehow managed to defy the odds. It doesn't yet boast the ratings prowess of top-rated CBS and Fox, but Lee is encouraged by his network's ability to debut a handful of promising new series. "We have a lot of very strong pieces," he says. "At the same time we've got to make sure we sustain them and that they stay strong through the year and beyond."
ABC had badly stumbled out of the gate last year with DOA shows like My Generation and The Whole Truth. But this season, execs staggered the network's launches, with some new shows not even appearing until late October. Plus, the network caught a bit of luck, managing to ride the comedy revival wave and tapping into two genres — fantasy and soap operas — where it turns out there was a void to fill. "They desperately needed to get an infusion of new shows," says Horizon Media's Brad Adgate. "But now they've got some wind in their sails."
Early success stories include Once Upon a Time, a Sunday surprise that is now TV's No. 1 new drama among adults 18-49. "We knew it was an amazing piece of television," Lee says. "There's so much ambition in its storytelling." Meanwhile, Revenge, the sudser that Lee calls "delicious," is making the network competitive on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. (where ABC's performance is up 127 percent in the demo).
The network has also grown its Wednesday night comedy block, thanks to centerpiece Modern Family — TV's No. 2 scripted show among adults 18-49 and ABC's most-watched sitcom since the 1998-99 season. Newcomer Suburgatory and sophomore sensation Happy Endings are also driving ABC's sitcom success; and on Tuesdays, Tim Allen's Last Man Standing is giving ABC its best comedy performance in its time slot in a decade.
Not everything has worked, including ABC's Charlie's Angels reboot. "I don't think we quite managed to breathe life into that franchise," Lee admits. "It didn't work this time, but it doesn't mean we wouldn't do it again. You've got to do something to break out from the clutter." Period drama Pan Am is also struggling, and Lee hopes that some tweaks, such as putting the focus back on the four central flight attendant characters, will give it a bit more direction. "I think there's a huge amount of goodwill toward that show," Lee says. Among comedies, only Man Up! has opened to soft numbers.
Veteran series like Grey's Anatomy, Dancing With the Stars and the soon-to-retire Desperate Housewives are also on the slide. Lee believes Dancing could reverse that trend with a more compelling cast in mid-season. "Dancing goes up and down," he says. "Sometimes it's about whether we catch the mood of the country. We were lucky enough to do that twice last year. I feel that it will come back. And now that this season is coming to an end, I think people are finally starting to really relate strongly to that cast."
Three hours a week of older-skewing Dancing, however, continues to contribute to the graying of ABC's audience, which now registers a median age of 53.7 (the oldest the network has ever been.) "Older viewers and women tend to watch more TV, so it's not all that surprising that they're doing this well," Adgate says.
Meanwhile, with so much new product working, ABC may now find itself in the odd position of not having enough room for its hefty midseason bench. Shows waiting in the wings include campy Kristin Chenoweth-led drama GCB (seen by many as an obvious Desperate Housewives replacement); Shonda Rhimes' D.C.-set series Scandal, starring Kerry Washington; the Ashley Judd vehicle Missing; and thriller The River, none of which has a time slot yet.
Lee is also bullish on upcoming comedy Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 and is even still touting the critically panned cross-dressing sitcom Work It. "We have an idea of where we're going to put it all, although we haven't quite got all the jigsaw pieces in place yet," Lee says. For next season, Lee says ABC is looking to capitalize on its comedy successes; in drama, the exec says he's looking for sophisticated character dramas that speak to an "affluent female audience."
Despite its recent new successes, ABC is still down a touch from last season, averaging 9.7 million viewers (down 1 percent from 9.8 million last fall). CBS, in comparison, is up 2 percent (13 million) while Fox is up 21 percent (10.1 million). But while ABC has managed to stem its bleeding, NBC is still in freefall, down another 9 percent (to 7.3 million).
It's clear that ABC won't challenge CBS and Fox for the top spot this season. But as long as Lee and Co. don't start building expectations too high, Adgate believes the network will be fine. "It's encouraging, and they have to be pretty pleased that they planted some seeds," he says. "Sometimes it pays to be a little patient."

THEY told me at the Foreign Office in Moscow that it was out of the question to draw Lenin.

From August until October Lenin was an obsession with me. He was in the country, not far from Moscow.

CityMatCH was awarded a five-year cooperative agreement in 2006 for "Partners in Program Planning for Adolescent Health" (PIPPAH-3).
Increasingly, health is being understood as an asset that develops across the life span. Early investments in health are important not only for their immediate impact, but also for the improved health they produce throughout life. Additionally, healthy birth outcomes rely in large measure on health developed prior to pregnancy.
For more than seven years, CityMatCH and NACCHO collaborated in producing the interactive "Emerging Issues in Maternal and Child Health" (E-MCH) webinar / audioconference series. E-MCH provided cutting-edge research, program and policy strategies on complex public health topics.

List some symbolism of the story.
- print Print
- list Cite
Because the story is a great example of allegory, you could probably make a case that everything in the story as some symbolic significance. The settings are symbolic -- the town is civilization and rational behavior; the forest is a "moral wilderness" where Brown is tempted by the Devil's promises. The name of his wife, Faith, is symbolic. In each place her name is used, the reader can substitute faith with a lower case "f" meaning his faith in God. She is a symbol of goodness, and when he thinks he sees her ribbon in the woods, his Faith is gone (with the Devil) and his faith (in God, the goodness of people) is gone. Faith's pink ribbons are an interesting color choice. First of all, Puritans generally didn't not adorn themselves with pretty colorful ribbons, but Faith's ribbons suggest a youthfulness and a slight "bending of the rules." The color is also created by mixing white (purity) with red (sin). The color could then suggest that Faith is not wholly good or evil -- just a mix that is typical in human nature.
Brown's journey through the woods is symbolic of a quest. He must go on this mission, be challenged along the way, and come from the quest a changed man -- this certain happens to Brown. The ending may not be all that happy for him, but he is the one who brings about his own misery, only able to suspect the worst in those around him.
"Young Goodman Brown" is replete with symbols, such as sunset and night, for example, are ordinary enough realistically, but in the story they suggest the darkening life which Brown will be leading after his dark night of the soul. His marriage to Faith enables him to declare that his faith is gone, certainly an accurate and profound symbol. There are additional symbols, such as the withering twigs (paragraph 38) and the fire (paragraph 53), to name two. The symbols suggest death and hell. Ironically, though Brown disavows the devil (paragraph 68), his preoccupation with these diabolical symbols governs his character and behavior.

text: I've discussed the idea of IL-1 conditioning with Ader (he was one of my speakers at the May 2 conference on "Neuropsychology and the Neuroimmune Dialogue"--announced to bionet.immunology). He agreed it is a reasonable possibility, but did not know of any direct evidence. Much of his own work looks at agents or actions farther "downstream", less on intermediate steps. Maybe I should emphasize and make explicit: I'm really not interested in "immune responses" in general, and certainly not in (e.g.) influence of social or behavioral factors on health, resistance to disease, etc. My interest is rather narrowly focused on IL-1, TNF, NO (and/or NOS), and mast cells, and possible long-range "conditioning" (Pavlovian or otherwise); on a time-order PERHAPS approaching that of responses based on antigen recognition, but not this mechanism.

Finally had a chance to use the JTV-69 in an ensemble setting and am pleased to report that everything just sounded great! Although the new strat models have noticably less "squank", they are also more realistic to my ears - particularly at high volumes.
The 12-string Rick is different, but seems to be free of a lot of the tracking artifacts of v1.9. Les Paul (all 5 settings) is a huge improvement. Under 1.9 this model sounded like a strat with humbucking pickups trying to be a LP. Now, while not perfect, it's much more believable - particularly with the highs rolled off a bit.
All in all: Nice work Line6! No complaints from me.
