Uh...meowthirteen...your Mom wasn't by any chance
wearing a paisley mini-dress and flowers in her
hair at the first 1966 "Love In" in San Francisco,
was she? If so, I might be your Dad.

[FairfieldLife] ‘President Obama’s Measured Response to I ran’

[Robert]

GOP calls Obama timid as he seeks footing on Iran???

McCain says: 'Bomb, bomb, bombnot...?
 
Jun 21, 7:55 PM (ET)

By ANNE GEARAN

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama stuck to his carefully tailored 
response to Iran's internal crisis Sunday despite pressure from Republican 
critics, as he continued to speak up for protesters' rights without making 
specific demands on Iran's hard-line leaders.

"The last thing that I want to do is to have the United States be a foil for 
those forces inside Iran who would love nothing better than to make this an 
argument about the United States," Obama said in an interview released Sunday. 
"We shouldn't be playing into that."

The president spoke Friday during an interview with CBS News' Harry Smith. It 
will be broadcast Monday on "The Early Show."

Obama's measured statements so far attempt to speak up for human rights while 
preserving U.S. options and lessening the chance that he becomes a scapegoat 
for the cleric-led government, which has blamed the West for stirring up street 
protests that turned into bloody clashes with police and militia.

Obama kept a public silence Sunday, although a spokesman said he discussed Iran 
with foreign policy advisers in the Oval Office for more than 30 minutes. He 
later went golfing in Virginia.

Tehran's streets fell mostly quiet for the first time since a bitterly disputed 
June 12 presidential election, but there were reports that government forces 
appeared to be pressing arrests of defiant protesters after the official death 
toll swelled to at least 17.

The White House did not book any surrogates on the Sunday talk shows to defend 
or explain the administration's approach. Republicans used their broadcast 
appearances to call the president timid or feckless, while the Democrat who 
leads the Senate Intelligence Committee said the U.S. had no hand in the 
disputed election.

Like other Democrats who spoke Sunday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein backed the 
president's approach.

"It is very crucial as I see that we not have our fingerprints on this," she 
said, "that this really be ... truly inspired by the Iranian people. We don't 
know where this goes."

A day earlier, Obama invoked the American civil rights struggle to condemn 
violence against demonstrators, some of whom have carried signs in English 
asking, "Where is My Vote?"

It was his strongest statement on what has become the most significant 
challenge to Iran's ruling structure since the Islamic revolution 30 years ago, 
but it stopped short of demanding a recount or new election, as many of the 
demonstrators seek.

He avoided mentioning either incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or his 
principal challenger by name, and said nothing about his oft-repeated campaign 
promise of a fresh start in diplomatic talks with the main U.S. adversary in 
the Middle East.

Obama has tried to hold a middle ground as the crisis unfolds, and found the 
ground shifting by the day. His advisers say any thunderous denunciation of 
Iran's rulers would invite them to blame Western interference and might worsen 
the violence instead of end it.

Both the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly last week to condemn an official 
crackdown on the mostly peaceful demonstrations, a stronger action than the 
White House has yet taken.

"The president of the United States is supposed to lead the free world, not 
follow it," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. "He's been timid and passive more 
than I would like."

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and others noted that Western leaders, including 
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, have 
demanded a recount or more forcefully condemned the government crackdown.

"I'd like to see the president be stronger than he has been, although I 
appreciate the comments that he made yesterday," McCain said. "I think we ought 
to have America lead."

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said a slow or muted U.S. response risks 
undermining the aspirations of Iranian voters to change or question their 
government.

"If America stands for democracy and all of these demonstrations are going on 
in Tehran and other cities over there, and people don't think that we really 
care, then obviously they're going to question, 'do we really believe in our 
principles?'" Grassley said.

Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar, a moderate Republican who holds the party's top 
position on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, seemed to echo Obama's 
caution.

"The challenge continues, which is going to come to a conclusion one way or 
another," Lugar said. "Either the protesters bring about change or they're 
suppressed, and it's a potentially very brutal outcome at the end of the day."

Obama on Saturday challenged Iran's government to halt a "violent and unjust" 
crackdown on dissenters, and he quoted Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who said, 
"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

"Right now, we are bearing witness to the Irania

Meow, I'm taking a guess. I guess the turbulent 60's were before your
time. I'm getting to be an old fart (I can't wait to hear Barry
chime in on that one) and the advantage of age is that I haven't
forgotten what it was like to be young and passionate about everything
from intense conversation about the stinking Vietnam War to thinking
about sex all the time. The seasoning of years just makes all those
memories sweeter when viewed through lenses that soften the sharp edges
of rejection, so painfully crushing after falling madly in love for the
first time.

Seems to me student life is difficult enough to manage without adding
the pathos of discovering one's sexuality and being smitten. Those
two beguiling passages, overwhelming and exhilarating at once, hint at a
course as true as any compass for the rest of one's life, no matter
the surprises. The one-two punch just happens to come at the same time
in one's life. Imagine that.

Things haven't changed much. We still have a stinking war or two and
students still fuck like rabbits.  What is different is the excitement
about politics, like none I've ever seen. But, hoping for peace is
not enough. If we want peace for our children from the deepest yearning
of our being, we must have the courage to speak out against injustice
where ever we see it. Of course, shooting off one's mouth is not
enough either. We must devour information from as many sources as we can
so we can speak intelligently and argue our ideas with conviction.

During the 1967 Pentagon Protest, a young man placed carnations in the
gun barrel of MPs guarding the Pentagon. His single act of bravery
solidified the slogan "Flower Power" and he became an icon for
peace in this amazing photo by Bernie Boston.

[FairfieldLife] 'Will the Dollar Survive as a World Currency?'

[Robert]

 
After two smugglers were stopped last week with what at first appeared to be 
$134bn in US state bonds, the tension and paranoia surrounding the fate of the 
dollar hit a new high.
 
 Border guards in Chiasso see plenty of smugglers and plenty of false-bottomed 
suitcases, but no one in the town, which straddles the Italian-Swiss frontier, 
had ever seen anything like this. Trussed up in front of the police in the 
train station were two Japanese men, and beside them a suitcase with a booty 
unlike any other. Concealed at the bottom of the bag were some rather 
incredible sheets of paper. The documents were apparently dollar-denominated US 
government bonds with a face value of a staggering $134bn (£81bn).

How on earth did these two men, who at first refused to identify themselves, 
come to be there, trying to ride the train into Switzerland carrying bonds 
worth more than the gross domestic product of Singapore? If the bonds were 
genuine, the pair would have been America's fourth-biggest creditor, ahead of 
the UK and just behind Russia. No sooner had the story leaked out from the 
Italian lakes region last week than it sparked a panoply of conspiracy tales. 
But one resounded more than any other: that the men were agents of the Japanese 
finance ministry, in the country for the G8 meeting, making a surreptitious 
journey into Switzerland to sell off one small chunk of the massive mountain of 
US bonds stacked up in the Japanese Treasury vaults.
In the event, late last week American officials confirmed that the notes were 
forgeries. The men, it appeared, were nothing more than ambitious scamsters. 
But many remain unconvinced. And whether fake or otherwise, the story 
underlines one important point about the world economy at the moment: that the 
tension and paranoia surrounding the fate of the US dollar has hit a new high. 
It went to the heart of the big question: will the central bankers in Japan, 
China and elsewhere continue to support the greenback even in the wake of the 
worst financial crisis in modern history, or will they abandon it as America's 
economic hegemony dissipates?

Dollar obituaries are nothing new. The currency has been presumed dead more 
times than Shane Macgowan. But like the lead singer of The Pogues, the 
greenback has somehow withstood repeated knocks and scrapes over the years and 
lived on, battered, bruised and a couple of teeth the lighter, to fight another 
day. In the 1970s and 1980s there were plenty predicting its demise, although 
at that point the main challenger was the Japanese yen. And in the years 
preceding this crisis, economists and investors including Peter Schiff and 
George Soros were lining up to declare the dollar's demise as the world's 
reserve currency. In the late 1990s, the creation of the euro gave dollar 
sceptics another stick to beat the currency with, and no doubt the European 
currency has claimed some of the prominence in its first decade.

Now, following the collapse of the global financial system, those warnings have 
become louder still, and ever more difficult to dismiss – because this time 
around there are threatening noises coming from those who actually have the 
power to do something about it. First came a paper from Zhou Xiaochuan, the 
governor of the People's Bank of China (PBoC), a couple of months ago, positing 
the idea of introducing the special drawing right (SDR) – a kind of internal 
currency at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) – as an international reserve 
currency. These calls were then repeated, with more force, by the Russian 
president, Dmitry Medvedev, who last week declared that the world needed new 
reserve currencies in addition to the dollar.

And this time around, the dollar is most certainly suffering. Since 2002 its 
trade-weighted strength – calculated against a basket of other currencies – has 
fallen by more than a quarter, from 112 to 81 points. In the same period, the 
proportion of dollars held by reserve managers in leading central banks has 
also taken a dive. According to figures from the IMF, confirmed holdings of 
dollars in government vaults, from Beijing and Tokyo to London and Paris, fell 
from 71pc of reserves to 64.5pc between 2002 and 2008.

However, detecting what is really happening in the world of foreign exchange 
reserves is notoriously closer to an art than a science. For instance, figures 
from April seemed to suggest a fall in China's holdings of US Treasuries – 
something 'dollapocalypticists' pounced on at the time. But according to Brad 
Setser of the Council on Foreign Relations, the country was merely rejigging 
its Treasury portfolio rather than liquidating parts of it. In such an opaque 
world it is little wonder the conspiracy theories over those two Japanese 
smugglers show little sign of dissipating.

Nonetheless, for US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who has inherited his 
predecessors' role as dollar wallah-in-chief, the currency's travails have made 
it all th

Regarding Metallica, and other bands likewise, in America all you have to do is 
create a superficial sound or image that is neat or attractive to a majority of 
the population at the time in order to make it big.  Funny how you point out 
Lars Ulrich, of all people.  At least he plays some instrument as opposed to 
pop and rap singers who don't know how to play any musical instrument 
whatsoever, yet are adored like they're Mozart or Beethoven.  

As far as the Bob Dylan comment goes, I hope that was supposed to be sarcastic.

[FairfieldLife] Marijuana Smoke on California Cancer List

[bob_brigante]

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/us/21pot.html

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: June 21, 2009
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Marijuana smoke has joined tobacco smoke and
hundreds of other chemicals on a list of substances that California
regulators say cause cancer.

The decision, made by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment on Friday, is likely to force medical marijuana
  dispensaries with 10 or more
employees to post warnings. Final rules are expected by the time warning
requirements take effect in a year.

An agency spokesman, Sam Delson, said the office found that marijuana
smoke contained 33 of the same harmful chemicals as tobacco smoke. He
said the findings came from a review of more than 30 scientific papers.

California's Proposition 65 requires businesses to warn consumers of
chemicals that cause cancer or reproductive harm.

"November 15, 1969, there was a massive Moratorium march on Washington, D.C. 
which attracted over 500,000 demonstrators against the war, including many 
performers and activists on stage at a rally across from the White House.

A quarter of a million activists at the Moratorium were singing "Give Peace A 
Chance", a song written by John Lennon. This was significant, instead of 
singing the traditional, "We Shall Overcome", it was "Give Peace A Chance" 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_Moratorium

I was there. The song's history is rooted in activism, not just, "wishing and 
hoping and thinking and praying." That's just a torch song. Not that there is 
anything wrong that. But Lennon's song inspired folks to get off their butts 
and DEMAND peace, to participate as responsible citizens petitioning their 
government to end the Vietnam War and it worked. Some things are just worth 
fighting for.

Pagans, partygoers greet solstice at Stonehenge




 Play Video Reuters  – UK: Summer solstice at Stonehenge 


 Slideshow:Summer Solstice 

 AP – Carl Klinkenborg, right, and his wife Gigha kiss during their wedding 
ceremony as people gather to celebrate … 
By NARDINE SAAD, Associated Press Writer Nardine Saad, Associated Press Writer 
– 1 hr 28 mins ago

STONEHENGE, England – Pagans and partygoers drummed, danced or gyrated in hula 
hoops to stay awake through the night, as more than 35,000 people greeted the 
summer solstice Sunday at the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge.
Despite fears of trouble because of the record-sized crowd, police said the 
annual party at the mysterious monument was mostly peaceful.
"It's the most magical place on the planet," said antique salesman Frank 
Somers, 43, dressed in the robes of his Druid faith.
"Inside when you touch the stones you feel a warmth like you're touching a 
tree, not a stone. There's a genuine love, you feel called to it," he said.
The prehistoric monument in southern England is the site of an annual 
night-long party — or religious ceremony, depending on perspective — marking 
the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.
Warm weather and the fact that this year's solstice fell on a weekend helped 
draw a record crowd.
"There has been a great atmosphere and where else would you want to be on 
midsummer's day?" said Peter Carson of English Heritage, the body in charge of 
Stonehenge.
Camera flashes bounced off the stones through the night until patchy rays of 
sunlight peeked through the clouds at 4:58 a.m. BST (0358GMT). A weak cheer 
went up as dawn broke over the Heel Stone, a pockmarked pillar at the edge of 
the stone circle that is aligned with the rising sun.
"You can feel the energy from your feet climb up your body," said Diane Manuel, 
50, a supply company director from Middlesbrough in northern England. "It's 
like having heart palpitations."
Stonehenge, which sits on Salisbury Plain about 80 miles (130 kilometers) 
southwest of London, is one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions, 
visited by more than 750,000 people a year. It was built in three phases 
between 3,000 B.C. and 1,600 B.C.
Mystery surrounds the monument's original purpose. Some theories hold that the 
stone circle was a grave site because 350 burial mounds surround the structure.
In May, archaeologists found evidence indicating that pilgrims perceived the 
stones to have healing powers. Some other experts assert that the structure was 
part of an ancient astronomical calendar.
But because it was built so long ago, there is no record of why the monument 
was erected, said archaeologist Dave Batchelor of English Heritage.
"All of that sort of stuff we don't have, so when it comes to ascribing a 
modern-day reason depends on the viewpoint ... that's the fascination," 
Batchelor said.
Solstice celebrations were a highlight of the pre-Christian calendar, and in 
many countries bonfires, maypole dances and courtship rituals linger on as 
holdovers from Europe's pagan past.
Libby Davy, 40, an Australian living in Brighton, southern England, was 
attending the solstice for the first time with friends and her 8-year-old 
daughter. She wore sparkling dust on her face and wrapped a monkey doll around 
her neck as she embraced the festive mood.
"It's kind of a pilgrimage," she said. "As a sculptor, I can't help being 
interested in the stones — they're historic, spiritual — people went to a huge 
effort to put them here not anywhere else. Why here? And why this 
configuration? It's fascinating."
The solstice is one of the few times during the year that visitors can get 
close enough to touch the rocks. 
English Heritage closed the site at the solstice after clashes between police 
and revelers in 1985. It began allowing full access again in 2000 and the 
celebrations have been largely peaceful. 
Police said Sunday they had made about 30 arrests for drug and public-order 
offenses. 
With problems at a minimum, the crowd reverted to a carnival atmosphere. Some 
revelers used hula hoops to stay awake until the sunrise; other simply clapped 
and danced among the stones. 
Gaisva Milinkeviciute, 30, a yoga instructor originally from Lithuania, came 
with two friends, who like many in the crowd, wore wreaths in their hair. 
"This place actually gives people so much energy and thoughts, things that we 
kind of neglect in the daily lives and wish for," Milinkeviciute said. "We can 
come here and make them come true."

So how much are people spending here for a "10 minute" check-up (or what 
they pass off as physicals) with their doctor?  The last time I had one 
of those he charged me $200 for about 15 minutes.  I can read blood 
panels too.   Might save a lot of money just ordering my own blood 
panel.   He also sent me to a specialist who spent more time with me for 
$80 and did a more thorough checkup.   Then my health insurance company 
is always sending ads for their $25 and $75 checkups.  Of course if they 
don't like the results of those they would probably cancel me.  There 
often isn't anything those do that I can't do myself and keep the 
results to myself (though I do notice that some of the self-tests have 
disappeared from the drug stores -- hmm).  And we wonder why medical 
care in the US sucks?

Ah, yes, the unpolluted *genuineness* of the do.rkflex.
He didn't mean to post those two photos of feminist
temperance workers to mock their looks, honest he didn't,
or even to collect another example of Raunchy's "thin-
skinned reactions" (as if anybody *sane* would object
to insulting women for their looks).

Trust me on this. He'd no more do such a thing and then
lie about it than he would post a bogus statistic on
rapes in Wasilla to attack Sarah Palin and then accuse
me of lying for having given the *correct* statistic,
and accuse me of "puerile insanity" when I pointed out
what he had done--er, excuse me, what he *hadn't* done.
Must have been somebody using his handle. Yeah, that's
the ticket!

I understand your mockery plain as day. Any Jr High kid would. It's just as I

Just a reminder that until he realized I wasn't going
to drink the Obama Kool-Aid he was pouring, the do.rkflex
thought I was the bees' knees, a shining beacon of
Transcendent Truth--even though there's been zero change
in the "evidence" he cites of what an awful person I am.

If I'd joined him in Obama-worship and Hillary-hatred,
he'd still be kissing my ass.

On the other hand, Barry would have become a rabid
Hillary supporter.

Such principles these two gentlemen demonstrate, eh?

Lot of questions about that these days. They're not
at all sure plaque isn't a *result* of Alzheimer's
rather than a causative factor. Apparently oxidative
damage *precedes* the formation of plaque.

No sucking up involved. It's what I genuinely see APART from your over-exposed 
nerve ending to anything that hints of 'sexism.' I might add that it also 
skewers your view of Obama. That's plain for anyone to see. 

'Pictures of my girlfriends?' That's another example of your thin skinned

Re: [FairfieldLife] 'Amazing Healing Ability of CDP Choline!'

[Bhairitu]

Choline itself has long been considered useful in some cases of 
Alzheimers.   Plaque building up in the brain is considered the cause 
for Alzheimers.  Plaque is "ama" in ayurvedic terms (that stuff you 
scrape off your tongue in the morning) and can build up due to an 
imbalance of any of the doshas.  The treatments would therefore be 
different and that's why choline didn't work all the time.

Of course we are now living in Huxley's "Brave New World" so if it isn't 
a pharmaceutical it must not work.  At least according to the Gammas 
here on FFL.  :-D

My brother, also a film freak, had an interesting
insight into why Americans are so subtitle-averse.

Education is so bad that most Americans *can't read
fast enough* to follow the subtitles and still watch
the film.

I think he's nailed it. And it explains the resistance 
in the industry to distributing foreign, subtitled films 
in America, even on DVD. In France, which is as much of
a "movie culture" as exists on the planet, almost all
audiences would prefer seeing a film in "VO," version
originale. Sadly, in Spain that is not true. All films
in Sitges are dubbed, and worse, into Catalan. And
since the Spanish DVDs available in the rental stores
tend to *also* be dubbed, that kinda reduces me to
piracy or ordering from France or the US if I want to 
see a film in VO.

The guys on "At the Movies" didn't think much of it.  They said it

which they also reviewed (and which is also showing VOD on cable).  I

Name-calling. Jr High. After doing the 'ugly and repulsive' thing, it's all she 
has left.

I DO see that RD is a good, decent person APART from her over-exposed nerve 
ending to anything that hints of 'sexism.'

Judy's game however, is ugly and repulsive all around. All anyone has to do is 
read the evidence she prolifically and obsessivley produces - and watch her 
'post out' again and again. 

I'd bet most people on this forum don't even bother any longer to read her 
nastiness, as they've all heard her play that same broken record over and over 
and over, for years.

[FairfieldLife] "Powder Blue" - Love On A Snowy Christmas Morning In Los Angeles

[TurquoiseB]

There are movies that just reach out to you, the way 
that meeting a stranger and finding that you have
more in common with them than with anyone else reaches
out to you. In my experience, I rarely have to go 
looking for these films...like the "immediately close 
strangers," they tend to find me.

Such a film found me today. I stumbled upon it for 
what Edg would call the lowest of reasons. I found a
photo of one of its stars, Jessica Biel, and noticed
that in the film she was playing a stripper. Since
Jessica Biel is a damned fine actress, and also one 
of the most beautiful women on planet Earth, this 
piqued my interest.

So I found the film on the Pirate Bay and started down-
loading it, and only then looked it up in the IMDB to
find out more about it. What I found was basically your
"dream cast" -- Jessica Biel, Forest Whitaker, Ray
Liotta, Lisa Kudrow, Eddie Redmayne, Kris Kristofferson,
Patrick Swayze, and Sanaa Lathan. My interest remained
piqued. 

And then I started watching it, and found that with the
tiny, largely unknown film called "Powder Blue" I was 
in the hands of a master -- writer-director Timothy Linh 
Bui. This is only his second film, and it is one of the
sweetest, most poignant movies I've ever seen.

It's possibly not everyone's cuppa tea, especially on
this forum, where people who consider themselves "highly
evolved" tend to look down on and consider themselves 
better than those who find themselves on the low end of 
the spectrum of human happiness. The film is about a 
number of characters whom fate and God seem to have 
abandoned, all of whom are trying to come to some peace 
with that during the days leading up to Christmas Eve.

Jessica Biel -- better than she has ever been in a film,
and that is saying something -- plays a single mother 
who struggles to pay her comatose son's medical bills by
being a stripper. Forest Whitaker plays a former priest
who found love and left the priesthood for it, and then
on the way home from the wedding God decided to kill his
wife; he is suicidal. Ray Liotta plays a man just out of
prison, searching for the daughter who never got a chance
to know him. And Eddie Redmayne plays a geeky guy with
the unlikely name of Qwerty Doolittle, who works as a 
mortician and who has never had a girlfriend. The only 
thing these people have in common is that love has eluded 
them for so long that they are afraid it will elude them 
for the rest of their lives. Whether that is true or not 
is the subject of this movie.

This would be a fine film if it had been made by a Holly-
wood veteran with twenty fine films under his belt. Made 
as only his second film as a director by a kid born in 
Vietnam who left Saigon a week before it fell and came 
to the US as a refugee, it is a miraculously fine film.

Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck me for I have done it again.  I composed a long long list

it poofed and was gone, and I'm too pissed to try to reconstruct it.

Still the idea is good.  So have at it out there -- let's see what you think is 
the reason that the Barry et al crossed the road.

Or, HAS anyone crossed the road?

And what does the crossing of the road represent here in FFLville?

[FairfieldLife] NYT/CBS News poll: Wide Support for Government-Run Health

[do.rflex]

The national telephone survey, which was conducted from June 12 to 16, found 
that 72 percent of those questioned supported a government-administered 
insurance plan — something like Medicare for those under 65 — that would 
compete for customers with private insurers. Twenty percent said they were 
opposed.

Republicans in Congress have fiercely criticized the proposal as an unneeded 
expansion of government that might evolve into a system of nationalized health 
coverage and lead to the rationing of care.

But in the poll, the proposal received broad bipartisan backing, with half of 
those who call themselves Republicans saying they would support a public plan, 
along with nearly three-fourths of independents and almost nine in 10 Democrats.

Right. These people will find it *much* more appealing
to read posts that celebrate women's looks as their
most important feature and that nastily mock and demean
women whom the posters consider less attractive.

The crusade against unattractive women and against
women who have the nerve to object to sexism is one
these sensitive people will be eager to join.

Barry and the do.rkflex should get some kind of
award for their efforts to promote respect for women.
I mean, it's not as if characterizing feminists as
ugly, bitter man-haters is an approach that has ever
been used before. Its novelty alone, if not its
intellectual depth, should find favor among those
willing to be persuaded that misogyny is a Bad Thing
and that therefore feminists should just suck it up
and stay silent about it.

They simply don't recognize that their creepy out of control ugly and repulsive 
bitterness and nastiness turns people off. 

Even people who themselves are already sensitive to, or might be persuaded 
against sexism wouldn't want to have anything to do with their crusade because 
of their over-obsessive, hateful and hostile, almost frantic attacks. 

They come off as angry wackos like the raving right wing wackos from Fox's

[FairfieldLife] Antioxidants may interfere with breast cancer treatment

[Vaj]

The women is this study were considered to be taking high doses of antioxidants if they were taking more than was in a Centrum multivitamin. So what happens when you're recommended to take something 1000 or more times more powerful than vitamin C or E, two times a day? That's what many TMers have been recommended during cancer treatment by taking the Ayurvedic jam Amrit Kalash.Where's the research on this? Or maybe the better question: where are the law suits?http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/06/09/breast.cancer.antioxidants/index.htmlThink that vitamins can only help--but never hurt--a condition? Although that's true in many cases, some vitamins can be harmful to certain people or under special circumstances.Doctors are not sure exactly how antioxidants affect people with breast cancer, shown here.Now a new study shows that many breast cancer patients take powerful antioxidant vitamins during radiation or chemotherapy--despite evidence suggesting that antioxidants may be more harmful than helpful during such treatments."It is possible that if you are taking concentrated high-grade antioxidant vitamins in significant doses, it may interfere with your treatment," says Dr. Marisa Weiss, the president and founder of advocacy group Breastcancer.org and the author of several books, including "Taking Care of Your Girls: A Breast Health Guide for Girls, Teens, and In-Betweens."The jury is still out on how--or even if--antioxidant vitamins can affect breast cancer patients, but in the study, 60.5 percent of women with breast cancer reported taking antioxidants, including vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, and selenium, during their treatment. The findings appear in the July 15 issue of the journal Cancer.Overall, 69.3 percent of those on antioxidants took high doses. (The researchers defined high doses as anything more than the amount found in a Centrum multivitamin.) And more than half who took antioxidants used doses that were higher than the current dietary reference intakes (DRI), which are the daily nutritional recommendations set forth by the Institute of Medicine. Health.com: Breast cancer at 23 -- Why me?So how can something that is supposed to be so good for you--like antioxidants--actually cause harm? Chemotherapy and radiation both work by creating free radicals within cancer cells; these free radicals damage the cancer cells and may ultimately kill them.

Why on *earth* is Barry so preoccupied with
numbers?

Because Yahoo's Search hasn't been working
since the middle of March, the only ways he
can keep track are either by laboriously paging
through the message list and counting posts one
by one, or by devising some sort of database
into which he enters posts and their topics as
he reads them.

Obsessive much??

As always, Barry forgets to take into account
what's now *on the record* so far this week: 12
ugly sexist posts mostly focusing on the
overwhelming importance he and the do.rkflex give
to women's looks, and 28 posts from Raunchy and
me (I haven't counted, but note that Barry has
bragged about citing deliberately exaggerated
numbers) nailing them on their intellectually
bankrupt sexism (not to mention their dishonesty
and hypocrisy)--*unrebutted*.

And he actually *boasts* about this, claiming it
proves how much more intelligent he and the
do.rkflex are than Raunchy and me.

Talk about a river in Egypt!

The other very peculiar thing is Barry's
obsession with *when* these posts are made, as
if it made some huge difference whether they all 
appear in the first few days of the week or are
distributed throughout the week. For the person
reading the traffic or the archives, it will 
clearly make more of an impression when their
futile sallies and our unrebutted takedowns are
concentrated in bunches.

And one more oddity: He crows about not
"interacting" with us. Has he really convinced
himself we want to *argue* with him and the do.rk,
rather than getting to have the last word every
time, on the record?

Or is he trying to spin his own and the do.rk's
obsessions to make the two of them appear more
rational?

BTW, his repeated theme about a conspiracy to make
us seem ridiculous is itself ridiculous, quite
transparently so. If that's what they were doing, 
they wouldn't be yapping about it, obviously.

Barry's been trying to intimidate me into not
criticizing him for *years*, ever since he
realized, long ago on alt.m.t, that I had his
number. This is just one of the many tactics he's
tried (clearly completely unsuccessfully). And
poor dim do.rkflex has bought into it.

All Barry's doing with his pathetic spinning is
revealing how much criticism bothers him. He expands
all this effort and wastes his own posts trying to
make me "post out" so that he'll have a few days
where at least my criticisms won't get posted
*immediately*. He can't shut me up, so this is the
best he can manage (other than the faint hope that
I'll go over and he'll have a whole week to spew
unmolested).

Which is fine with me; as noted, the effect on the
reader of what gets on the record is almost
certainly greater when our interactions are
concentrated.

(And I suspect nobody believes his spin that it's
somehow not interaction because he doesn't respond.
He *is* responding, over and over, whether he
addresses our criticisms or not.)

Now that I've explained what's really going on,
let's see if Barry and the do.rk will be smart
enough to understand the damage they're doing to
themselves, or whether

Re: [FairfieldLife] Superb trailer: "Dead Snow"

I don't know. It looks more like a comedy to me! Nazi zombies with all that 
bright lighting just isn't too scary.

Sure, was on the first 7000 course when we came in from Greeze with Maharishi. 
Stayed 9 months. Plenty of hardcore americans there, to say that most of them 
running the place, including the Purusha-fellows were not very flexible people 
is an understatement. 
But they did manage to organise that huge course in a very short time - a great 
achievement.

But already then one could see that Fairfield was attracting a lot of lazy 
hangers-on.

Hey Ride,
You don't know what you're talkin' 'bout...here...
And for some people, it can be a help to withdrawal from other chemicals...

This is a very powerful nutrient, for the brain,
That is actually being tested to help, people with strokes,
Or old age symptoms...
So, again, you don't know what you are talking about...
Just 'cause you had some experience with I-Herb,
This supplement has nothing to do with that distributor...
The company that manufactures the supplement is called 'Jarrow'...

Let's "run the numbers" on these claims,
shall we?

Since the start of the posting week, Judy
has made 20 posts, only 1 of which was not
an attempt to "prove" how much more intelli-
gent she is than do.rflex and myself. Simi-
larly, Raunchydog has made 10 posts, only
1 of which was not on this theme of "demon-
ize the horrible men who don't agree with
us and thus show how much smarter we are
than they are."

In contrast, I have made 9 posts, 2 of
which were on subjects unrelated to these
two intellectual lightweights, and the ones
that were didn't have to bother to even
interface with them. Instead, my posts
were general rants calculated to "push
their buttons" and get them to overreact
as they always do. do.rflex accomplished
the same thing in 6 posts, only a few of
which were obvious "button pushers."

So the score is that it took the two of us
a total of 12 posts, *none* of them falling
into the trap of arguing endlessly with
these two harpies the way they want us to,
to provoke them into pissing away 28 posts
in response, *in one day*.

And this proves how much more intelligent and
powerful they are than we are. Yeah, right.

PLUS, they're ugly.  :-)  :-)  :-)

Yes, Tom...

We need some of the Queens to start behaving like Kings...
In other words, if you must write something about Rachel, then why not write a 
critique, or something?
Or write something to Rachel herself...
That's what I do...
Her email address is:  rachel@ 
msnbc dot com.
