Did you ever consider herbal supplements? They can be a problem when you have CKD since only a few have been studied with CKD patients. Keeping in mind that my kidneys were not functioning up to snuff, I decided to abandon them completely. This was quite a departure from the way I usually dealt with illness, but I was frightened enough to just stop using them. I also didn't know if any of them contained "the three peas with salt" or phosphorous, protein, potassium or sodium. I wasn't willing to accidentally further damage my precious kidneys.
While none of this is established, the following might be toxic to the kidneys -wormwood, periwinkle, sassafras (I remember drinking sassafras tea as a child. Did that have any effect on my kidneys?) and horse chestnut just to name a few. Then there are other herbal supplements that might be harmful to CKD patients: alfalfa, aloe, bayberry, capsicum, dandelion, ginger, ginseng, licorice, rhubarb and senna. There are even more, but they seemed too esoteric to include. I found I was continuing to learn information that had nothing to do with CKD, but was surprising none the less. For instance, I'd always used a broken open aloe stalk to treat burns never once realizing it was ingestible.
While I urge you to speak with your nephrologists before eating any of these, there are several websites that may be helpful. They are http://www.herbalgram.org and http://www.nccam.nih.gov. And, as my nutritionist kept mentioning, star fruit is toxic for CKD patients. Gulp! I ate that, too, when I was in Nigeria. Again, I feel like the medical student who was convinced she suffered from every illness she studied, except in my case, I think everything I ate that's not good for CKD patients was the cause of my disease.
Most of the renal diets limit liquid intake daily, despite the fact that humans lose one liter of water through our skin daily via evaporation. We also lose fluid through breathing, sweating and feces. Men are 60% fluid, which includes not only water but blood and salvia while females are 55% fluid. The kidneys are the organs responsible for regulating the fluids in our bodies.
As CKD patients, we do not internally control the amount of liquid in our bodies, so we have to do it externally. If we drink too little or sweat too much, we become dehydrated. Severe dehydration can cause sweating, diarrhea, vomiting and usually the low blood pressure that makes you feel weak and dizzy when you stand up. On the other hand, if we drink too much, we suffer fluid overload.
It's thirst that makes us drink in order to dilute the concentration of dissolved solids in our bodies so we can bring them back to the proper level. Unfortunately, the brain concurrently releases vasopressin, which is an anti-diuretic hormone that causes the kidneys to conserve water. What this means is that those of us with CKD drink when we've thirsty as does everyone else, but we don't produce much concentrated urine.
If you fall below the proper concentration of dissolved fluids, normally you lose interest in drinking while your urine becomes diluted and you void a great deal of it. However, if you suffer from CKD, there's little increase in urine flow and the urine doesn't become diluted. In other words, a person with CKD – like you or me – has a low concentration of dissoluble solids.
I've already mentioned that my fluid intake restriction is 64 ounces and that I drink two eight ounces cups of coffee daily (I think they help to keep me from feeling deprived), so I'm left with only 48 ounces of liquid. In researching for this book, I discovered that the organic soy milk I sometimes have with cold cereal in the morning and the ice cream I sometimes have are considered fluids as well as being considered dairy.
I don't have both on the same day since my allotment is only four ounces of dairy. That's only half a cup. Have you ever tried to enjoy a quarter cup of ice cream? That's what I'd have to do as well as limit myself to two ounces of that soy milk to enjoy (hah!) them both on the same day.
Going back to the fluid intake, between the coffee and the dairy, I only have 44 ounces of fluid left per day. I live in Arizona where the summer temperatures go up to 115 degrees. I've learned to plan when I'm going to have water and how little to have each time. You'll have to do the same depending upon the climate. This is one time when that old dieting adage which recommends drinking water instead of eating whenever you think you're hungry is not apt, and it's certainly not necessary to drink when others do just to be social.
You might need to be reminded that popsicles, sherbet and gelatin are also fluids, though in solid form. You might need to be reminded, but I needed to learn that. To me, a solid was a solid and a liquid was a liquid. But that's not true for CKD patients. Think about it. Popsicles and sherbet are frozen water with flavoring (I know I'm being too simplistic here.) and gelatin is boiled water with a powder added. This certainly made me curious about what else I didn't know about what I always thought I knew.
I've got a little quandry ready for you to solve on Friday.
Until then,
Keep loving your life!

Oh man-o-man, am I digging the 25th Anniv figures of the 3-3/4" GIJOE! I grew up on the Joe figures, comics and even the crappy cartoon! Back in the 90s, when the Star Wars figures were being relaunched, I said they should stick to the traditional packaging. Well, someone thought the same thing for these suckers! While the figures themselves are uninspiring, I'm really digging the old school packaging! They really take me back to my younger days!
Initially, I was just going to get Snake-Eyes (w/Timber) and Hooded Cobra Commander. Those are the two essential figures, for me. Being the fan of COBRA, I'm skipping most of the Joes. But like pringles, once you start, you can't stop! I am not addicted to these things. I still have some self-control, so please don't think I'm buying all of them. But come on, you gotsta have DESTRO.... STORM SHADOW.... FIREFLY.... COBRA COMMANDER, COBRA OFFICER and CRIMSON GUARD!! Right? Yes.
Pics posted are of what figures are available thus far (atleast, those figures I could find online shown with their card). Future Anniv figs will include COBRA VIPER, H.I.S.S. DRIVER, MAJOR BLUDD, BARONESS and even TOMAX & XAMOT!! ....and more!

Are these available now?

Almost all of them are available. Occassionally I'll see them at Toys R Us and Target. You can also look online...
here's one site:
Look around google and ebay and you'll find more. I'd say they should be no more than $15 each.... $8-10 is best, in my opinion. But to each his/her own.

Trojan Hoopsters Open Pac-10 This Week In The Northwest
Dec. 30, 2002
Complete Release in PDF Format
Download Free Acrobat Reader
The USC men's basketball team, which has posted back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances and 20-win seasons during the last two years for only the second time in its history, continues the task to make it three in a row in both categories as it opens Pac-10 play at Washington State (5-4) on Thursday (Jan. 2) at 7 p.m. and at Washington (5-4) on Saturday (Jan. 4) at 6 p.m. Under seventh-year Coach Henry Bibby, the Trojans return two seniors, four upperclassmen and nine lettermen from last season's squad that finished 22-10 overall, tied for second in the Pac-10 at 12-6, reached the final of the Pac-10 Tournament and received a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
USC (4-3) at Washington State (5-4) on Thursday (Jan. 2) at Friel Court at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast on a taped delay basis on KMPC-AM 1540, KPLS-AM 830 in Orange and XEMM-AM 800 in San Diego. The broadcast will begin at the completion of the USC football's team Orange Bowl coverage. Washington State, under fourth-year coach Paul Graham, is led by junior guard Marcus Moore. Moore is averaging team highs of 21.1 points and 6.4 rebounds. Sophomore forward Thomas Kelati is averaging 11.3 points per game and has made 26-of-48 three-pointers (54.2%) while senior guard Justin Lyman is averaging 10.4 points per game.
USC leads the series, 60-32, which dates back to 1949. USC has won seven in a row over the Cougars, its longest streak in the series, and 12 of the past 16 overall. The Trojans have won three in a row in Pullman and five of the past seven there.
Last Game
USC used five players in double figures, a hot hand on offense and cool efficiency on defense to win its seventh game in a row at the time, 85-64, on Jan. 4 at the Forum last year. David Bluthenthal had game highs of 16 points and eight rebounds. The Trojans muddled through much of the first half before taking a 44-31 lead into halftime. Troy never led by less than 12 points the rest of the game. The Trojans enjoyed their largest lead of the game at 83-56 with 2:21 to play. Guard Derrick Craven made his Trojan debut in the game.
Paul Graham is in his fourth season as the head coach of Washington State after taking the job on March 25, 1999. The Cougars were 6-22 in Graham's first season but improved to 12-16 in 2001 before slipping to 6-22 in 2002. He is the 14th head coach of the Cougar program. Graham was an assistant coach at Oklahoma State from 1992-99. Before that, he was an assistant coach at New Mexico from 1990-92.

Washington, directed by first-year coach Lorenzo Romar, has won three consecutive games over Florida International, Houston and Cal State Northridge after opening the season 2-4. Sophomore guard Will Conroy leads the Huskies in scoring (15.0) and assists (4.3) while junior forward Doug Wrenn is averaging 12.4 points and a team-best 6.6 rebounds.
SeriesUSC owns a 61-55 edge in the series that dates back to 1925. USC has won seven in a row over the Huskies, its longest streak in the series. The Trojans have won three road games in a row in Seattle after losing the previous five.
Last Game
The Trojans overwhelmed Washington, 94-74, at the Forum on Jan. 6 last year. David Bluthenthal led USC in scoring for the second consecutive game with 18 points. Brandon Granville posted his second double-double in a row with 17 points and 10 assists. Sam Clancy had 17 points and five steals while Errick Craven also had 17. USC forced 26 Husky turnovers. The Huskies led at the outset 5-4, but a 17-3 run gave USC a 21-8 lead after 6:26, forcing a Washington timeout. The Trojans' lead was never less than 13 points again. USC's biggest lead of the first half came at 47-23 with 3:48 to go before the break and the Trojans entered halftime ahead 51-30. The Trojans led by at least 20 points for the entire second half and were up by 32 at one point.
Lorenzo Romar is in his first year as the head coach at Washington more than 20 years after playing point guard for the Huskies in 1979 and 1980. He is 93-88 in six seasons as a head coach. He spent the last three years as head coach at Saint Louis (51-44) and the previous three at Pepperdine (42-44).

Nick Curtis (21) and Roydell Smiley (18) each posted career-high scoring efforts and Errick Craven had his second-most productive scoring output of the season (16) to lead USC to an 89-63 win over La Salle on Dec. 21 at the Sports Arena. Brandon Brooks also came off the bench with seven points and six assists to help spell Robert Hutchinson, who re-sprained his right ankle during the first half. La Salle kept it a game for much of the first half and the game was tied at 22-22 with 7:05 to go before the break. But USC, using a balanced offensive attack, had five players contribute offensively to a 16-4 run that closed the half and gave the Trojans a 38-26 halftime lead. The Explorers remained in shouting distance for a bit and trailed only 46-36 with 16:53 to play. But the Trojans applied a defensive vice that allowed them to go on a 10-0 run over the next four minutes, building a 20-point lead that essentially ended the game. USC, which also got 13 points from Desmon Farmer, led by as many as 31 points at 85-54 before USC Coach Henry Bibby emptied the bench with two minutes to play.
USC allowed less than 30 first-half points (26) for the fifth time in seven games ... USC outrebounded its opponent (44-37) for the first time since the Morris Brown game ... The Trojans forced a season-high 28 turnovers ... Desmon Farmer tied a career-high with 10 rebounds.
Senior guard Robert Hutchinson, who suffered a sprained right ankle at UC Santa Barbara and re-injured the ankle against La Salle, is doubtful for both games this weekend. Jonathan Oliver, who sprained his left ankle against La Salle, is expected to play this week.
Junior forward Jerry Dupree, suspended for the first seven games of the season by the coaching staff so he could focus on priorities off the court, has returned to practice and is available to play this weekend.
Oregon has moved its home game against USC on Feb. 27 from 7 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. to accommodate an Oregon Sports Network broadcast.
The Trojans have won four consecutive Pac-10 openers and are 5-1 in such games under Coach Henry Bibby ... This is the second consecutive year the Trojans open the Pac-10 season on the Washington trip, the fourth time in a row opening the Pac-10 schedule against the Washington schools and the third time in four years playing Washington State to open the conference slate.
USC has won 24 consecutive non-conference games at home at the Sports Arena. The Trojans' last home non-conference loss was to Tennessee in the 1998 season. USC plays one more non-conference home game this year against Penn, but it's at the Forum.
The Trojans have outscored their opponents by an average of 39.0 to 27.3 in the first half and held first-half leads in four of five games. But their opponents have played better in the second halves of games, holding a 38.7 to 37.1 edge.
A year ago, USC didn't shoot at least 80.0% on its free throws in a game until the 17th game of the season and did it only six times on the year. Seven games into this season, Troy has already done it three times, in games one, two and five.
Only three Trojans are averaging more than 25 minutes per game and none more than 30 (Roydell Smiley, 29.6; Nick Curtis, 29.3; Desmon Farmer, 28.7).
USC set a school record last year for steals with 287, averaging 9.0 a game. The quick-draw Trojans are continuing the trend this year, averaging 8.4 a game, compared to their opponents' average of 6.1.
Playing behind Sam Clancy, the Pac-10 Player of the Year last year, power forward Nick Curtis played in only 22 games as a freshman and saw only 113 minutes of court time. Now that Clancy has moved on to the NBA, Curtis is getting a shot and is making the most of it. Averaging 10.4 points and a team-best 7.3 rebounds per game, he's already surpassed his freshman season totals in points, rebounds and minutes.
A reserve point guard in his first two years at USC, senior Robert Hutchinson was off to a fast start this year before being hindered by a sprained ankle. The injury, suffered at UC Santa Barbara, forced him to miss the Missouri game. He came back against Cal State Fullerton and tied his career-high with 17 points. Hutchinson re-injured the ankle against La Salle and played only one minute. Through six games, Hutchinson is averaging 8.2 points per game and shooting a team-best 55.0% from three-point range (11-of-20). The 11 treys are almost as much as his combined totals as a sophomore (six) and a junior (six).
Desmon Farmer and Roydell Smiley lead USC with six double-digit scoring efforts in seven games. Nick Curtis is next with four. Four different Trojans have scored at least 20 points in a game this season: Farmer (23), Errick Craven (22), Rory O'Neil (22) and Curtis (21).
Robert Hutchinson, Rory O'Neil, Roydell Smiley and Errick Craven have combined to form a formidable quartet from beyond the three-point line. Combined, the four have made 39-of-78 three-point attempts (50.0%).
USC's overtime loss at Rhode Island was only USC's sixth-ever non-conference defeat in overtime (19-6). USC is now 49-43 overall in overtime, 41-39 in single OTs and 25-20 on the road in overtime ... USC's 25 turnovers were eight more than it had in any game last season ... USC, against Missouri, didn't have a player play at least 30 minutes for the first time since USC fell at No. 13 Arizona, 88-73, in Tucson, on March 4, 1999.
If USC's finishes above .500 this year, it will give the Trojans their first streak of five consecutive winning seasons since they did it nine times in a row between 1967 and 1974.
WHERE THEY RANK IN THE PAC-10 (as of Dec. 27)
USC features the top field goal percentage defense (38.5%) and is also first in blocks (4.71) and is third in steals (8.43). USC's leading scorer, Desmon Farmer, is 15th in the Pac-10 at 13.9. Nick Curtis' 7.3 rebounds per game is good for seventh best, as is Roydell Smiley's 1.71 steals average. Robert Hutchinson leads the league in three-point percentage (55.0%), Smiley is fourth (48.5%) and Errick Craven is seventh (44.4%).
Sophomore shooting guard Errick Craven, a 2002 All-Pac-10 Freshman selection, is USC's leading returning scorer (11.8) and rebounder (4.4) and joins senior center Kostas Charissis as USC's returning starters. Charissis, who saw limited action last year but was a regular starter when he was healthy, has 32 career starts. Senior point guard Robert Hutchinson, the Trojans' captain as a junior, is back for his third year at Troy. Junior shooting guard Desmon Farmer was USC's top player off the bench as a sophomore and blossomed in the final five games of the season, averaging 17.6 points per outing. Athletic junior small forward Jerry Dupree is back to try to build on his strong finish last year, which featured a 10.3 scoring average in the Pac-10 Tournament, though he will sit out USC's first six games to focus on priorities off the court. Sophomore center Rory O'Neil, who showed a soft touch from the field as a freshman and ability in the paint, has returned with about 25 pounds of added bulk and muscle. Sophomore point guard Derrick Craven saw his role increase toward season's end last year and hopes to continue the trend this year. The story is the same for sophomore power forward Nick Curtis, who showed promise as a rebounder in his limited action in 2002. And don't forget about sophomore forward Gregg Guenther Jr., a tight end on the football team who joined the squad after football season to add some strength in the key. He plans to do the same this year.
USC welcomes four first-year players into the program in 2003, three junior college transfers and one Division I transfer who will sit out the year. Sophomore Brandon Brooks will immediately challenge for the starting job at point guard after transferring from Compton College, where he concentrated on academics last year. A year earlier, he was among the top JUCO point guards in the country at Indian Hills College. Junior center Jonathan Oliver will challenge for a starting role a year after re-writing the record books at Ventura College, where he set season and career blocked shot records with 173 in 2002, also tops in the state. Junior guard Roydell Smiley rounds out the trio. A sharpshooter who can also play the point and even some small forward, Smiley will challenge for time after two years at Southeastern Iowa College, where he earned a pair of NJCAA Region XI first team honors. Jeff McMillan, who was among the top rebounders in the Atlantic 10 Conference during the past two seasons, transferred to USC from Fordham and will be eligible to play in 2003-2004.
USC is 0-1 against ranked teams this year, falling to No. 15 Missouri at the Wooden Classic. The Trojans were 9-10 against ranked teams in the past two years (including NCAA Tournament play) and 11-15 in the last three years. USC was 6-4 against ranked teams in 2002, defeating No. 11 UCLA on Jan. 10, losing at No. 15 Arizona on Jan. 17, defeating No. 14 Stanford on Jan. 26, losing at No. 15 UCLA, defeating No. 9 Arizona on Feb. 16, beating No. 10 Stanford on Feb. 21, losing to No. 13 Oregon on Feb. 28, beating No. 16 Stanford on March 7, downing No. 9 Oregon on March 8 and falling to No. 14 Arizona on March 9. The Trojans were 3-6 against ranked teams in 2001. They beat No. 18 Utah in the Wooden Classic and lost to No 24 Mississippi in the second round of the Yahoo! Sports Invitational, at then-No. 17 Arizona, at No. 1 Stanford, vs. No. 8 Arizona and vs. No. 1 Stanford. In the NCAA Tournament, USC beat No. 7 Boston College and No. 9 Kentucky before losing to No. 1 Duke. USC's victory over Utah was its first win over a ranked non-conference team since beating No. 18 Missouri on Dec. 28, 1995. USC was 2-5 against ranked teams in 2000 with wins over No. 2 Arizona and No. 25 UCLA and losses to No. 5 North Carolina, No. 15 Duke, No. 2 Stanford, No. 4 Arizona and No. 1 Stanford. USC's wins over Arizona and UCLA gave the Trojans back-to-back wins over ranked teams for the first time since the 1993-94 season. That year, USC downed No. 18 California, 86-78, and No. 15 UCLA, 85-79. The last time USC defeated ranked teams more than twice in a row was in 1991-92, when the Trojans did it four straight times. They beat No. 24 Stanford, 82-72, No. 2 UCLA, 86-82, No. 4 UCLA, 83-79, and No. 2 Arizona, 70-69. Counting wins over No. 5 Arizona and No. 12 UCLA at the end of the 1990-91 season, the Trojans defeated six straight ranked teams.
On the heels of one of their greatest seasons in school history, the 2002 edition of Henry Bibby's Trojans put together another memorable year, albeit one that ended much more abruptly than hoped for. USC finished 22-10 after a 24-10 mark in 2001, posting back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time in more than 60 years. The Trojans also reached the finals of the Pac-10 Tournament for the first time ever. Troy earned a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament's South Regional, but fell victim to an upstart UNC-Wilmington team, which upset the Trojans in overtime in the first round. The squad featured three of the school's all-time top 12 scorers in Sam Clancy (third), Brandon Granville (eighth) and David Bluthenthal (12th). Granville finished as USC's career leader in games, minutes, three-pointers, assists and steals while All-American Clancy, the 2002 Pac-10 Player of the Year, left with the mark in blocks. Despite returning the above three starters and other experience off the bench, Bibby's team was a work in progress early as it slugged out wins during the non-conference schedule, incorporating a host of newcomers into the veteran mix. USC finished the non-league slate 8-2, falling only at Fresno State in the Preseason NIT and against Pepperdine. The loss to the Waves set up an unfortunate theme for the Trojans last year. USC led by two with seconds left when Pepperdine guard Craig Lewis banked in a three-pointer at the buzzer. It was the first of four losses for USC that ended with opponent game-winning shots either at the buzzer or with a second or two remaining. After the Pepperdine loss, however, USC ran off nine straight wins. That streak included a memorable game at Loyola Marymount where USC turned a 15-point second-half deficit into a 14-point win. The streak ended at Arizona where the Trojans suffered one of only two big losses on the year, the other coming at Cal. In fact, the Bears were the only Pac-10 team USC didn't beat on the year. USC's last-second losses (against Pepperdine, California, at UCLA and Oregon) were offset by some fantastic performances, including a regular-season sweep of Stanford for the first time in 10 years and home wins over UCLA and Arizona. The Trojans' 12-6 Pac-10 mark and the tie for second place were both bests since 1997 and good enough to earn a No. 4 seed in the Pac-10 Tournament at Staples Center in Los Angeles. USC beat Stanford for the third time on the season in the quarterfinals and got revenge for two regular-season losses to Oregon with a gutsy win over the Ducks before falling to Arizona in the title game.
While they won't be missed in Westwood, Eugene, Tucson, Palo Alto or any other Pac-10 town, USC's graduating senior trio of Sam Clancy, David Bluthenthal and Brandon Granville leave the current crop of Trojans with some major voids to fill. In their careers, the threesome combined for 310 starts, 4,400 points, 1,889 rebounds, 1,037 assists, 479 steals and 10,835 minutes. Last year, Clancy, Bluthenthal and Granville combined for 56.4% of USC's offense, 49.7% of its rebounds and took 54.1% of its field goal attempts. Clancy, taken in the second round of the 2002 NBA Draft by Philadelphia, is now playing for 76ers. Bluthenthal was not drafted and signed to play in the pro league in Israel for Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Granville is not currently playing basketball.
As it says above, USC was picked to finish sixth in the 2002-2003 Pac-10 title race according to a poll of 27 media members who cover Pac-10 men's basketball. Arizona was a unanimous choice to win the title, securing all 27 first-place votes for 270 points. Oregon was second (237), followed by UCLA (195) in third, Arizona State in fourth (160), California in fifth (154), USC in sixth (152), Stanford in seventh (136), Washington in eighth (81), Oregon State in ninth (71) and Washington State in 10th (29).
USC is coming off of one of its best defensive seasons in its history. The Trojans led the Pac-10 in steals (8.97), setting a school season record for total steals (287) as well. The Trojans allowed the third lowest points per game in the conference (69.8), and its three-point field goal percentage defense and overall field goal percentage defense was second and third in the Pac-10, respectively ... Errick Craven returns as the Pac-10's 11th leading scorer in Pac-10 games and will look to defend his Pac-10 categorical title for steals, overall and in Pac-10 games. His 51 steals during conference play last year were 18 more than the next closest player in the league, both of whom were Trojans (Sam Clancy and Brandon Granville) ... With Clancy, Granville and David Bluthenthal gone, the record-keeping gets easier. But there's still a little bookkeeping to do. Desmon Farmer entered his junior year 16th on USC's career three-point chart. With increased minutes and a hot hand, he could have an outside shot at the Top 10. It won't take long too long for Craven to break into the Top 10 in steals. In fact, if he were to match his 68 from last season, he'd break into the Top 5.
For the first time in three years, USC did not open the season either the ESPN/USA Today Coaches or Associated Press Preseason Top 25 polls. The Trojans, however, did receive nine votes in the coaches poll and 20 in AP.
USC will face four teams ranked in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Preseason Top 25 poll and five others that received votes. Pac-10 rival Arizona was No. 1 while Oregon was No. 9 and UCLA No. 12. The Trojans will also play No. 18 Missouri in the Wooden Classic. Schools that received that USC will face include UNLV (13), California (11), Pennsylvania (3), UC Santa Barbara (3) and Stanford (2). In addition, Pac-10 foe Arizona State also received votes in the AP poll.
USC seventh-year coach Henry Bibby won his 100th game as Troy's head coach last year at Stanford. Bibby is currently 107-80, fifth at USC in career coaching victories. If USC wins at least 13 games this year, Bibby will pass George Raveling, who is currently fourth with 115 wins. Sam Barry (1930-41, 1946-50) is USC's all-time winningest basketball coach (260), followed by Forrest Twogood (1951-66, 252) and Bob Boyd (1967-79, 216). (Bibby's Trojans went 0-9 after becoming interim head coach at the end of the 1996 for a fired Charlie Parker. One of those losses was later turned into a win after Cal was forced to forfeit its win. Those nine games, however, are not included in his head coaching record at USC).
Dating back to 1996-97, the Trojans are 60-21 (.741) in their last 81 games at the Sports Arena and USC is 118-45 (.724) at the Sports Arena since the beginning of the 1991 season, including a 16-game winning streak over a span of the 1992 and 1993 seasons, a 12-game streak between the 2000 and 2001 seasons and two nine-game winning streaks that spanned the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons and the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons. USC's 12 home wins in 2001 were its most since winning 12 in 1993. USC's 10-game home win streak to open the 2001 season was its biggest home win streak to start a season since 1975. The Trojans have currently won five in a row at the Sports Arena.
Each Pac-10 school has selected an inductee to the Pac-10 Tournament's Hall of Honor. These individuals will be honored at a dinner in Los Angeles on March 12, 2003. USC's inductee is Tex Winter, innovator of the 'triangle offense,' was also one of the top pole vaulters while at USC. Other Pac-10 representatives are Arizona's Steve Kerr, Arizona State's Ned Wulk, California's Kevin Johnson, Oregon's Howard Hobson, Oregon State's Amory Gill, Stanford's Todd Lichti, UCLA's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Washington's Marv Harshman, Washington State's Jack Friel.
Standout prep seniors Rodrick and Lodrick Stewart, identical twin guards from Seattle, Wash., signed letters of intent with USC in November. Rodrick, 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, and Lodrick, 6-foot-5, 210 pounds, led Rainier Beach High to a 28-1 record and the 3-A state title as juniors in 2002, each earning All-State 3-A Tournament first team and All-State second team honors. Rodrick, a 2003 McDonald's Preseason All-American and ranked as the top senior in Washington by CollegeBasketballNews.com, averaged 19.4 points and 6.0 assists as a junior last year. PrepWestHoops.com ranks him as the No. 4 prep player in the country. He is ranked as the No. 10 prep guard in the country by ESPN.com, No. 21 overall by HoopScoop and No. 39 by both ESPN.com and Lindy's College Basketball. As a sophomore, he earned All-State 3-A Tournament first team honors. Lodrick, a 2003 McDonald's Preseason All-American alternate, averaged 17.8 points and 9.0 rebounds as a junior last year. He is ranked No. 10 by PrepWestHoops.com, the No. 15 shooting guard by Athlon's College Basketball, No. 44 overall by Lindy's, No. 61 by HoopScoop and No. 84 by ESPN.com. As a sophomore, he earned Student Sports Underclass All-American honors. The Stewarts will be the second pair of identical twin guards to play at USC next season. The Trojans currently feature sophomores Errick and Derrick Craven, 6-foot-2 guards from Carson, Calif.
Henry Bibby, a coach with 20 years of college and professional experience and the only person to ever play for an NCAA, NBA and CBA championship team, is in his seventh full season in 2002-2003 as the head coach of the USC men's basketball program. In the last two years, he has guided the Trojans to only their second back-to-back 20-win seasons ever and only their third back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. In 2001, he piloted the Trojans to their first-ever NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance under the tournament's current format, finishing 24-10. In 2002, he led USC to a 22-10 record that included a 12-6 finish in the Pac-10 (tied for second), a finals appearance in the Pac-10 Tournament and a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The back-to-back 20-win seasons were USC's first since 1939-40. USC enjoyed its fifth winning season and fourth postseason berth (three NCAA, one NIT) under his watch. Bibby was named 2002 NABC District 15 Co-Coach of the Year. With the Trojans on the rise, Bibby was rewarded with a three-year contract extension on Aug. 4, 2000, which will take him through the 2004-2005 season. In 2001, Bibby led USC to perhaps its greatest season ever. In their second NCAA Tournament appearance under Bibby, the No. 6-seeded Trojans reached the East Regional Final before losing to Duke. USC's three NCAA Tournament wins (against No. 11 seed Oklahoma State, No. 2 seed Boston College and No. 3 seed Kentucky) were its most ever in one tourney and the Trojans' final record of 24-10 matched the most wins ever in one season at USC. The Trojans finished 11-7 in the Pac-10 (tied for fourth place). The Trojans' landmark team that Bibby guided featured a trio of NBA draft picks in forward/center Brian Scalabrine, guard Jeff Trepagnier and forward Sam Clancy. Rodrick Rhodes, who played under Bibby in 1997, was also an NBA draft choice. In his six years as head coach, Bibby has been instrumental in player development and has guided seven players to a combined 12 All-Pac-10 honors and five players to All-Pac-10 Freshman honors. Under Bibby, Sam Clancy became a Pac-10 Player of the Year, two Trojans (Rhodes and Scalabrine) have earned the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year award and another (Elias Ayuso) earned Pac-10 All-Newcomer first team notice. Seven of USC's top 20 scorers of all time have played under Bibby.

Golfpad does provide some insight on the web view for strokes gained compared to 'other players of similar ability', but that's a little vague.
I really wish it had the Vs Handicap Filter that Game Golf analytics provides, wherein you can select (Scratch, 5 handicap, 10 handicap, 20 handicap, etc) to compare your strokes gained against.
Thanks Spencer! We are considering this in our future feature updates. We appreciate your input!
A little bit off topic, but on the theme of strokes gained. I'm a bit doubtful of the accuracy of the current strokes gained (SG) presented. I've played 4 rounds and across all 4 strokes gained categories in a single round my highest strokes lost is -0.30 and my highest strokes gained is 0.18. Although I'm a reasonably consistent player in most areas, this doesn't seem right. Is there a per hole divider in the presented strokes gained results i.e. strokes gained or lost per hole?

The mild climate in the Cinque Terre means it is not only great for walking, but has a long growing season, too. A light Ligurian olive oil is used as a main ingredient in this dish, perfectly coating the pasta to slippery perfection, raising the status of the humble zucchine to new heights.
- ¾ lb (300 grams) small firm zucchine, diced
- 8 Tbsp (1 wine glass) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large clove of garlic, cut into slivers
- 1-2 Tbsp minced flat-leaf parsley
- Salt & pepper
- Grated parmigiano
- 1 lb spaghetti
Sauté the garlic in the oil until it is soft. Add the zucchine and some salt and cook over a medium-high flame until the zucchine is browned and soft. Mix in the parsley. Toss for a moment in the pan with the spaghetti cooked al dente. Top with grated parmigiano and freshly ground black pepper. Serves 4-6.

Preparation and Anticipation
At the beginning of the second semester, I decided that I was going to do my internship within the music industry because it is one of the career fields that I am most interested in pursuing. At first, I thought that finding an internship was going to be easy in the music industry because there are hundreds of recording studios and bands that want to book time. Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy. I tried to contact recording studios in Fort Collins, Hollywood, and Durango and each of the business either said they didn't have the time or that I had to be eighteen to work in a studio. I then decided that finding an internship in the music industry was going to be too difficult. I started looking for internships in the fashion industry because it is another career field I'm interested in pursuing. I then started contacting more companies in the same three places but received the same answer as before. As LINK was approaching quickly, I started looking for contacts on the IAM Music website to see if there were any opportunities that I could jump on. Through the website, I was able to find SBG Productions in Telluride which is a company that organizes some of the most iconic blues and jazz music festivals in country. I then emailed Courtney McClary who is their Director of Operations. She responded very quickly and said that it was a possibility but not a definite yes due to the amount of office space and work for me. After about a week of waiting she said that they had a spot for me and that they were very excited to have me in the office with them. This was a really relieving and exciting moment for me because of all the time I spent trying to find an internship. It was also really cool to get an internship that was in the field I was originally trying to get into. The only difference was that before, I was trying to find one in an actual recording studio while the SBG Productions internship has to do more with the marketing, advertising, and business aspect of the music industry. Even though this internship wasn't exactly what I initially was looking for, I'm very excited to be doing my internship with SBG Productions. Going into my LINK Internship, I feel more confident than I thought I would which surprises me. Along with that, I am also very excited to start and get into the motion of working on projects that interest me. The music industry is a field that I'm interested in pursuing as career and I am very excited see what the marketing and business side of it looks like.

i've never really stuck to a brand when it comes to diapers for my baby. there are a few that i buy more that the others, but i could settle for another brand in the event one is not available. add to the fact that i am also cloth diapering my baby, and as much as possible he only wears diapers when we go out or at nighttime.
when he was born, we used pampers. her ninangs gave him a diaper cake of eq diapers during his dedication so we also used that. when pampers introduced a "new design", i did not like it very much since it seems to sag. so i switched to mamy poko slim diapers. but my baby is now a little boy that the xl size of mamy poko no longer fits him. i tried looking for a 2xl size but did not find any. we tried drypers weewee dry but i also did not like it. so we ended up with eq dry again. i noticed that eq's diaper seem a little larger than usual size so we just bought a pack of xl diapers.
so, when i got the used the first diaper in the pack, i was kind of satisfied on how it fit my baby. but after a few hours that he had been wearing it, my baby was complaining and he was pointing to his diaper. that is when we saw that the tape has come off (not from the "sticky" side but from the panel in the back. at first i thought it was just normal since i would encounter this in a diaper or two before. but we were in the 4th diaper from that pack and the same thing was still happening. so i took a photo of the diaper and sent a complaint to eq.
i reached them via email and through a private message in facebook. after a day, i received a reply asking for details and contact numbers so that they can reach out to us directly. it seems that it is indeed a defective pack and they promised to send a replacement pack via courier.
the next day, we received the brand new pack from eq. they were very competent in handling customer complaints and was very eager to rectify their mistakes, and for that they should be commended.
now, that is what i call customer service. i hope all the companies in our country would be like this. the customer may not be always right, but you should be able to handle their queries and situations.
as for LBC and Jollibee… well, that's another story which hasn't been resolved yet.

Underwear, generally refers to close-fitting underwear, divided into men's and women's wear two. And there are more and more patterns, depending on gender. Underwear is worn at different times in different countries. Underwear is not ancient, before the han dynasty, women had no clothes under the body, until the han dynasty to wear open crotch pants. Until modern times, there have been many kinds of underpants in styles and fabrics.
The word about Panties, although in the United States often refers to the slacks, but it means underwear in the UK, in Japanese comes from the word Panties パ ン ツ (that is, the network language "fat") means underwear as well.

Simple craft ideas for making toys with magnets. Kids or adults can make refrigerator puzzles, a racecar, cookie sheet tic-tac-toe, and more.
To make a racecar toy, use a small metal object, such as a large bolt, and a tiny box. Color the box to look like a racecar. Place it over the bolt and tape it in place. Turn an old game board or box top into a racetrack for your racecar. Paint the board green and paint a track on it. Tack a strip of wood on each end to raise it a few inches so you can place a magnetic wand under it. Strong magnet wands are available at sewing supply stores. With the magnet under the board, "drive" the car on the track. Make two cars and race with a friend.
You can use the same idea for a ship on the high seas. Tape a paper drawing of a ship onto an old pair of fingernail clippers and paint the board blue. You can be captain of your own "clipper ship."
Magnetic fishing toys are easy to make and fun to play with. Tie a string onto a dowel rod and tie a magnet wand onto the other end of the string. For a pond, save packing peanuts and place them in a dishpan. Mix a few iron or steel objects into the packing peanuts - bolts, nuts, fingernail clippers, etc. Try to fish objects by holding the fishing rod and lowering The magnet into the pond. For fun, you could tape a picture of a fish to each of the nuts and bolts. Use a long string and try fishing from a top bunk.
The promotional magnets given out in some cities can be recycled into refrigerator puzzles and games. Some of these are 4" by 6" or even larger. Glue a photo or picture on the front. Be sure to spread the glue evenly over the entire surface. When dry, cover the picture with clear contact paper for durability. Cut the puzzle into simple pieces carefully with a utility knife. These puzzles require quite a bit of manual dexterity and can be used to help a child develop fine motor skills. Try making three or more puzzles which each feature a different person standing. Cut so that the heads, bodies, and legs are interchangeable. These are good for lots of laughs.
Business card sized magnets can become a beginner's reading game. Cover the top with colored paper and print a three letter word. Cut into thirds for letter tiles. Make a set of letters in this way, and the child can make a lot of words. With only nine letters, a, b, c, h, m, o, p, s, and t, many phonetic words can be made. Just a few examples are bat, hat, mat, pat, sat, cot, hot, pot, bop, hop, mop, and top. These tiles are suitable for ages 4 and up. They are too small for a child who still puts things in his mouth. You may wish to make the vowels a different color.
You can make portable magnetic games, too. Start with a cookie sheet and some glue-on magnets. These magnets are available in the craft department for making homemade refrigerator magnets. Round ones are available as well as rolls of magnetic tape that can be cut with scissors. The round ones tend to be stronger magnets. Make sure the magnets will stick to the cookie sheet. If not, try another cookie sheet. Magnets will not stick to pure aluminum.
Now choose the game you wish to make. Checkers, tic-tac-toe, and games that require following a path are possibilities. You can even create your own game. Draw the game board on paper and tape it to the cookie sheet. The tape will come off, in case you wish to use it as a cookie sheet in the future. If you are making a permanent game, you can draw the game board directly on the cookie sheet and paint it. For markers, glue large buttons to the magnets. For tic-tac-toe, make a set of 5 markers in each of two colors. For checkers, use flat magnets like the advertising magnets described above. You will need to be able to stack them to indicate kings.
Here is a cute refrigerator magnet craft that makes good game markers. You will need some round magnets and clear glass gems. These are the clear stones sold in craft stores for use in fish bowls, rock gardens, etc. The stones are about 3/4 inch across, which is the same size as the magnets. Using a magnet as a pattern, cut out tiny motifs from magazine pictures. Using a clear-drying craft glue, attach a picture to a magnet. When dry, glue a clear stone over the picture. Use these for markers for magnetic board games.
These are just a few ideas for homemade magnetic toys. Get creative and have fun!

Tana Accessoires, Haar and Skin care
Tana Make-Up combines care with a systematic approach and traditionThe company Tana-Cosmetics was established in Bielefeld in 1935, and became an insider's tip among women with its eyelash care products and balms. This word of mouth was better than any advertising campaign, laying the foundations for an internationally active company. Nowadays, the company is world-renowned for its nail care, make-up and, of course, tanning products. The Egypt Wonder, a mineral powder, is a really special product that adapts perfectly to any skin type and has enthralled women too. But it is not just this powder that has attracted the attention of people to this traditional company based in Bielefeld. Indeed, the first Indian Kajal, the first eyebrow powder and incredible eyelash growth serum were all products made by this cosmetics manufacturer. The company has also remained true to its roots over the course of its 75-year history. Contrary to many other businesses, this company refuses to make products that cater for absolutely everything, instead specialising in perfect care products, mascara, eyelash and nail colours and shapes and, of course, make-up too. Tana is able to offer you everything that you are looking for, from a nail file that makes your nails shine without the need for any varnish, through to special make-up removal pads. Products for your care requirements that are visibly effective.

We are back with FlippED! And this time our two Bloggers are fighting about the clash between MUNs and Parliamentary Debating (Hah! Clash, get it?) has been going on ever since these two formats gained prominence. Both these formats train their participants in quite a few skills.
But the question is, which is the better one?
"I would like to put forward the motion to declare that MUNs are the shiznit".

If anybody has seen a 'candid' picture of their friend in a suit on Facebook, chances are the picture was taken at an MUN.
A lot of people like my fellow blogger espouse the culture of debating or a parlimentary debating (PD) more for reasons that shall follow later.
But as for me, I consider MUNs as debating++. All the components of debating added on to other activities that promote specific skill development.
Let me explain why.
When you go for a PD, you go with the knowledge that you already have, you are given a topic and there have to be four 7 minute speeches. Good enough test of the abilities. You can, of course, ask questions in between but that is it but nothing more.
In a stark contrast, MUNs are a whole different ball game. Here's why:
They function along the lines of a standard United Nations committee. And to understand MUNs, we must understand the entity whose simulations they are.
The purpose of a United Nations committee is to pass a resolution on a consensus among its members on an issue on which almost certainly everyone disagrees.
The end goal is not for one team to 'win' or prove all the others wrong, it is to hash out differences without violence.
And this is clearly reflected in the simulations. There is no doubt that the participants or delegates debate over the issue on the table but it is the difference in the end goal that matters.
Since the end goal is passing a resolution, the delegates have to work together in tandem, keeping everyone's preferences in mind and reach an equitable solution.
They have to use the skills of diplomacy, problem-solving, and their power of conviction and leadership skills to sway people over to their side. Furthermore, they have to take care of all back channel talks, take precaution that the opposing camp does not take away their support.
All delegates have to act like leaders in challenging political scenario. They have no political experience but still, they have to iron out solutions to issues that seasoned veterans themselves haven't been able to.
All in all, MUNs are a holistic activity, which provide an all-round development for any delegate not only in the art of speaking, but in the art of convincing, leading and making deals.

Looking at the other side of our motion at hand:
"If you place facts above rhetoric in a room full of suits who think debating is best kept at a minimum and politics is how you win, then congratulations. MUNs are your way to go."
~ Sahib Singh
There's a certain kick about parliamentary debating which is inexplicable and you don't get that in an MUN, a conventional debate or any other popular form of debating for that matter.
My perspective might sound inherently like a fan-boy's but allow me to explain why I place parliamentary debating at a higher pedestal.
Starting off, parliamentary debating tests your one perennial skill as a credible debater:
"Throw your facts out of the window and convince me" is the sole motto of a PD and that's what makes it more advanced and diverse.
Extending the argument of its advancement over other styles, MUNs allow you to speak in sessions, where most arguments are generic and factual whereas bringing out the extensiveness and diversity of an argument as a whole is the essence of parliamentary debating, where a speech of 7 minutes can change the debate's outcome and can even send the adjudicators in awe.
PDs allow everybody a fair and square chance to make their point and explain one's argument in a coherent way which allows every participant to be efficient and gives them time to leave an impression, unlike the experience in a committee of 25 people and more than 100 in a General Assembly.
For those who come with the idea of MUNs developing teamwork:
I think they've misspelt the word "politics" because anyone who has done a 3 vs 3 parliamentary debate knows how difficult it is to decide speaker positions in clutch match-ups and deliver a 78-pointer speech under pressure. The 2 vs 2 style generally offers an open interjection round, something which is impossible in MUNs.
Coming to another idea which makes Parliamentary debating more accessible and gives it an edge is that there are separate tournaments for freshers as well as seasoned veterans, which makes the competition even and eliminates the idea of elitism by keeping no specific dress code, something which is considered as an important feature in MUNs.
So there you have it, folks. A simpler yet extensive debating format for me works any day above a format which promotes politics.
Go on, take your pick.
