Renée Travis

Heyday Media Group's Renée Travis at Din Tai Fung

At Din Tai Fung

1088 S. Baldwin Ave., Arcadia 626-446-8588

I'm always curious as to what most Angelenos will say when I ask them what they like most about the city they live in. One of the most common answers is that they love the wide range of cultures and personalities that make up the fabric of Los Angeles. I don't think I've met anyone who so completely embraces this diversity as much as Renée Travis. The President/Founder of Heyday Media Group – which oversees promotions and media licensing for musicians while nurturing their creativity – not only appreciates the variety of people and experiences the City of Angels has to offer, she strives to represent an eclectic mix of artists.

Looking over the Heyday Media Group roster, pretty much every genre of music is present. From Pokey LaFarge and Amanda Jo Williams, Mickey Avalon and Saigon to the Parlotones and the B Side Players, artists of all breeds have found a home with Heyday.

"I feel very fortunate that I love all kinds of music. I've always been a fan of all genres," shares Renée. "I look for honesty and integrity in an artist. My body tells me when I'm moved by them. You said a good word: 'magical.' I like that word. That's exactly what I'm talking about when my body tells me. I work for the artists, so if I'm going to push and fight for them and help them grow, I need to believe and feel passionate about them and their music. You can usually tell when someone is being truthful to themselves creatively or just trying to copy something that's the current hit."

While Renée's instincts have led to her forming relationships with artists from all walks of life, she also has an open mind when it comes to sampling new culinary fare. When it came time for her to select a favorite place for us to do our interview, she had a hard time settling on a cuisine let alone just one restaurant. She eventually chose one of her go-to places for Chinese food, Din Tai Fung, known for their Xiaolongbao soup dumplings.

Named one of the Top 10 Restaurants in the World by The New York Times in 2010, Din Tai Fung was established as a cooking oil retailer in Taiwan by Yang Bingyai in 1958. Once the sale of canned oil became common in markets, Yang and his wife started selling their steamed buns on the side to make extra money. The Xiaolongbao were so popular that the business completely turned into a restaurant in the 1980s. Din Tai Fung locations have sprouted all over the world (Its Hong Kong branches have been awarded Michelin stars.), and luckily for us, there are two in Arcadia.

Din Tai Fung's Juicy Pork Dumplings are so famous that they were spotlighted on a recent episode of "The Layover," in which host Anthony Bourdain visits the original Taipei City location and instructs viewers on the proper procedure to fully enjoy the Xiaolongbao. Renée has her own method for eating the beautifully assembled dumplings, her usual order at the restaurant, that includes the mandatory accompaniment of sliced ginger.

We also try some fresh string beans sautéed with garlic and the Shanghai Rice Cake with Shrimp, which is delicious. I order the Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup, the perfect dish to cure my cold. The pillowy wontons are stuffed with ground pork, minced scallions and Din Tai Fung's own blend of seasonings and spices swimming in a simple yet satisfying broth.

"I love Asian food. I can't decide what my favorite is. Even when I'm feeling sick, I usually go with Japanese miso," says Renée, before sharing some of her other preferred food spots around town. "For Vietnamese, there's Lemongrass in Eagle Rock, and Golden Deli in Alhambra is awesome. For Italian, Casa Bianca. I love that place – the best Antipasto in L.A. that I've ever had. For Mexican, La Abeja on Figueroa in Highland Park/Glassell Park. It's a hole in the wall and family-owned. I've been going there for 20 years, so I've seen all of their kids grow up. It's just really good, traditional food and very humble people that work there. I also go to La Cabanita, in Montrose/La Canada. It's a quaint place with a festive environment. Not too loud, and it's in the foothills of the mountains so you have that somewhat sleepy energy."

As for places she likes to check out bands at, Renée prefers smaller venues and outdoor spaces.

"I like intimate venues. I like being able to feel the energy of the artists, and I find there's a lot of excitement in arenas, but I like to be up close and personal. I really enjoy Echo Country Outpost and the Echo. I like outdoor venues, like the Greek and Hollywood Bowl – any outdoor venue really," she says. "We've done something called Solstice Skyline the past two years. It's an intimate series of outdoor shows. The last few years have been in my backyard but hopefully we'll open them up this year and take them into gardens."

Renée first came out to Los Angeles after high-school graduation and says that it just felt like home.

"The creativity, the arts here. I grew up in Upstate New York and there wasn't really much of that. It made sense. It was an adventure," she tells. "I had no intentions of ever going into music, it just kind of happened. But when I look back on my whole life, it makes sense why I'm doing what I'm doing."

Although she calls herself "way too uncoordinated to play any instrument," Renée's childhood was always full of music. Her parents filled her ears with Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Janis Joplin, Deep Purple, Leo Sayer and the Eagles.

"My grandma was a huge fan of music, and that's why I said it makes sense to me now. She loved and still loves Patsy Cline and Brenda Lee," she recalls. "I feel so fortunate to have experienced that diversity of music."

As Renée grew to form her own musical appetite, she explored artists like UB40, Simon & Garfunkel, Depeche Mode, R.E.M. and Ozzy Osbourne. She also began to fall in love with film.

"Growing up, my world was very limited. There was Disney every Sunday night, On Golden Pond and Old Yeller. Once when I was on my own, I got into all kinds of classic films, like Sunset Boulevard, All About Eve, Sullivan's Travels, and started getting more into independent films," Renée remembers. "I enjoy documentaries, too."

Her interest in film and music fueled her work as a music supervisor and artist manager, and in 1995 she launched an independent music supervision company, Artists in Motion. Renée has supervised and consulted on over 30 productions and a variety of artists that include Tom Waits, Tim Buckley and Michelle Shocked. In 2000, she formed her first publishing company, Media Creature Music, which eventually evolved into Heyday Media Group in 2006.

Heyday maintains its own record label, NocturnalSol, which released Amanda Jo Williams' Mary's Big Feet and Stephen Ashbrook's SOAP Box Set 1995-2010 in 2011, as well as a compilation called In This Together last November. Proceeds from In This Together go to the contributing artists and to an organization called Sound Art that Renée first started working through the Solstice Skyline series. Sound Art provides music education and tools for L.A. youth to create their own music. A group of these young adults formed a band, Breed Street Rookies, and recorded two songs that are part of In This Together.

"It makes these artists on the compilation that much more special since they're using their art form for something that's a little bit bigger than them. The opportunity for the kids to be a part of the project, to actually write and record, was an awesome experience. They're just amazing, insightful kids. They're aware of what opportunities they're not going to have by money being taken out of education. They're aware of the benefits and opportunities to play music together to keep them off the streets, out of gangs and to keep them inspired. Sound Art is so important, so they have an outlet that encourages collaboration, art and freedom of expression," Renée stresses. "There are not many things in life like music. It really is a gift."

Giving back to the community is something that is incredibly important to everyone involved with Heyday. Besides In This Together, they run a program called PATH.

"PATH is a three-month campaign with a group of songs and artists that put money into 10 different organizations, from healthcare to art. We're also launching something called Wings this year. It's very similar to PATH, but it's just for one organization and it's a shorter campaign," informs Renée, "It's a good reminder and motivator to be the person that I want to be. Some people might put a Post-it on their refrigerator, this is my Post-it. I hope that from many different perspectives, from the artists and organizations to the people licensing the music to productions, that it's all a positive experience."

It really is a family atmosphere whenever their artists and label representatives get together. A few weeks ago at the release show for In This Together at Echo Country Outpost, there was such a great vibe being emitted from everyone at the celebration as bands that contributed to the compilation – RT 'N the 44s, Jim Reynolds of Cave Country, Tommy Santee Klaws and Fort King – performed. I think that everyone really supports and gets along so well with each other because they share the same intense passion for music that Renée does.

"There are so many artists who do music for just the money, to be on the biggest billboard on Sunset Boulevard. To see a resurgence of artists doing it because they have to, because it's in their spirit is refreshing," comments Renée. "One of my artists said to me, 'I will always do music.' He was saying, 'This is who I am; this is what I need to do whether I'm hugely successful or not.' I melted when he told me that. This is the kind of artist that I want to work with because I know how much I'm going to put into them."

In This Together is currently available. For more information, visit

What are the purposes of remote drug monitoring?

As is known to all, drug warehouses are distinguished from other sites. Because they are stored as chemical products, the requirements for environmental temperature and humidity are very strict.

The drug remote monitoring system refers to the computer as the main body, integrated detection device, supervision department, drug production and operation enterprise, and real-time monitoring, supervision and management of the drug production and operation environment, computer system and network equipment by linking the computers of each unit through the network system. And a modern information management system for automatic control.

In addition to the prevention and monitoring of accidents caused by human factors, the monitoring of drug warehouses must also make timely detection of accidents caused by changes in environmental factors, so that decisions can be made in a fast time to ensure the safety of the warehouse. In response to this feature of the warehouse, the system is specially designed to increase the function of connecting the sensor signals, and can realize the access and alarm management of various sensors such as temperature and humidity, access control, infrared radiation, and induction cable, and can be combined with video. The image is linked and composited. In this way, once the sensor signal is abnormal, the system will automatically generate an alarm and save the accident live video recording together with the alarm for recall.

The most prominent feature and the most significant advantage of the drug remote monitoring system is real-time, that is, the data in the first time is updated and monitored in real time through the network. This inevitably requires the pharmaceutical production and operation enterprises to submit relevant medical and mechanical information on a regular basis and in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the system and achieve the purpose of real-time monitoring.

There are two purposes for remote monitoring of drug installation:

1. The drug regulatory department can implement dynamic monitoring of drugs in all operating enterprises within its jurisdiction;

Second: the pharmacy itself needs to work, with the electronic monitoring system can omit all the paper records, improve the management level of the pharmacy.

Stedman Graham

Back to Poni TV

Lawrence R. Greenberg's Question:

KW: Jersey boy Larry Greenberg asks, “Do you have any plans to come back to your hometown, Whitesboro, this summer?

SG: I’ve been going back to Whitesboro, working in the community where I grew up, for the last 21 years. I haven’t missed a Labor Day celebration yet. And I don’t expect to this year.

The Full Interview...

                        Stedman Graham

                        The “Athletes Against Drugs” Interview

                        with Kam Williams

Headline: Stedman’s Steps to Success

            Stedman Graham was born on March 6, 1951 in Whitesboro, NJ, a community founded in 1901 by a group of prominent African-Americans which included Booker T. Washington and Paul Laurence Dunbar. Stedman attended   Middle Township High School where the 6’6” phenom starred on the varsity basketball team. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Hardin-Simmons University, he played professionally in Europe for a few years before returning to the U.S. to work on his Master’s in Education from Ball State.

           An enduring, high-profile relationship with Oprah Winfrey has perhaps overshadowed the long list of business and charitable accomplishments accumulated over the course of Mr. Graham’s impressive career as Chairman and CEO of S. Graham & Associates, a management and marketing consulting firm specializing in the corporate and educational fields. A prolific writer, he is also the author of ten books, two of which became NY Times bestsellers. And he has taught at several colleges, including a course on leadership at the University of Illinois and one on strategic management at Northwestern.

            Most importantly, Mr. Graham has exhibited a lifelong commitment to community via Athletes Against Drugs (AAD), a non-profit organization he founded in 1985 which remains dedicated to developing leadership in underserved youth through scholarships and education. Recently, Stedman talked to me about his work with AAD and other projects.

Kam Williams: Hi Stedman, thanks so much for the time.

Stedman Graham: It’s my pleasure.

KW: I have a friend, Franklin Moore, who claims he’s a cousin of yours. Is that true or has the brother been making it up all these years?

SG: It’s true. he’s my closest cousin, my favorite cousin. Where do you know him from?

KW: His younger son, Joseph, and my son have been friends since they were in pre-school together.

SG: That’s great, Joseph’s my godson.

KW: Small world. Tell me what’s going on with Athletes Against Drugs?

SG: The focus of the organization, which is really known now as AAD Education, Health and Sports is the positive, not the negative. Being in this business for 25 years has taught us that it’s not about the drugs but about providing positive choices, keeping yourself active and keeping yourself busy with activities, the proper curriculum, and special events like taking kids to games. That’s how you keep our youth off drugs.

KW: Where is the organization located?

SG: We’re operating out of Chicago. That’s our home base. But we do programs all around the country in coordination with various teams and various athletes. We provide programming in the schools, class curriculum, tutoring, and sports field trips. And we have athletes come speak in the schools. We’ve done all that for years. So, we’re really strong in terms of programming.

KW: Didn’t you have a big event recently?

SG: Well, we had our annual golf tournament where we bring in a lot of athletes. It’s one of our fundraisers. This year was our 25th anniversary celebration.

KW: I told my readers I’d be interviewing you, and they sent in a lot of questions. FSU grad Laz Lyles says she heard that you teach at Full Sail University, which she says is an amazing arts college. She wants to know, what attracted you to this school, and what you’re teaching there?

SG: I teach identity education and development. I teach people how to find their passion. I do it using a nine step plan. I also teach them how to develop a bigger vision once they have that passion. The thing that attracted me to Full Sail is that they have their passion already. So, what they needed was the other eight steps.

The curriculum that I teach encompasses all that. It’s especially pertinent to folks who already have an identity in terms of their job, their future employment or career path. [For more info, see Stedman’s book, “You Can Make It Happen: A Nine Step Plan for Success.”]

KW: Robin Beckham asks what’s happening with AAD, but you already answered that. She’s another person who says she knows you. She’s in public relations in Pittsburgh where she used to be a TV anchorwoman for one of the networks.

SG: Right, absolutely, yeah.

KW: Attorney Bernadette Beekman who is vacationing on a vineyard inVacqueyras, France as we speak, says, “I know you have a background in education. Do you support early childhood educational programs which help young African-American males bridge the achievement gap, even before the first grade?”

SG: Totally! I have a ten-week program in the high schools, which we’d like to push down to the middle and elementary schools. And we also have a program for parents and teachers. So, we’re very much proponents of helping kids develop an identity as early as possible in their lives.

KW: Ella Kegler from Lufkin, Texas asks, what is the lifestyle you see for yourself in ten years?

SG: I’d like to be able to travel around the world working with organizations and institutions to help educate as many people as possible about how to develop an identity for themselves, about how to find out who they are. And I’d like to teach them information making it relevant to their own development.

KW: Jersey boy Larry Greenberg asks, “Do you have any plans to come back to your hometown, Whitesboro, this summer?"

SG: I’ve been going back to Whitesboro, working in the community where I grew up, for the last 21 years. I haven’t missed a Labor Day celebration yet. And I don’t expect to this year.

KW: Filmmaker/author Hisani Dubose asks, what is your PR firm’s specialty?

SG: We have a marketing and management consulting business. What we do is focus on is the books that I’ve written and the content that I have, and other projects and ventures, including seminars, speaking engagements, online training and development, and on serving our strong existing client base to set up win-win situations.

KW: Children’s book author Irene Smalls asks, what’s your goal for the future?

SG: My big goal is to develop a strong operational structure and alliances with our partners to build a better distribution network to deliver our content.

KW: Batala-Ra McFarlane asks, what advice do you have for those who’d like to start their own business in this challenging economic environment?

SG: I would say, make sure you focus on what you love and what you’re passionate about, so that when times get tough, you can overcome that obstacle.

KW: Marcia Evans asks are you still associated with Armstrong Williams and do you share his political perspective?

SG: I’ve known him for a number of years. He’s been a friend of mine. I try to not allow my personal relationship with him as a friend get mixed up with his political aspirations. Also, I don’t make judgments about people just because they may have a different point-of-view from mine.

KW: Reverend Florine Thonpson asks what is your most powerful, spiritual source of strength?

KW: My most powerful, spiritual source of strength is knowing that God is love. So, when I focus on love, and put that in my heart, then I have the power of a strong, spiritual base and foundation.

KW: Professor Mia Mask asks, do you think President Obama has handled the BP oil disaster well?

SG: I think Obama has done a great job, based on what he was handed at the start of his administration. I also believe that he needs the support of the whole country. There are so many people trying to tear him down. America needs to come together as a country to figure out how we can support him as the President, including the BP disaster

KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would?

SG: No, but that’s the toughest question I’ve been asked.

KW: The Tasha Smith question: Are you ever afraid?

SG: I try not to be.

KW: The Columbus Short question: Are you happy?

SG: Happier than I’ve ever been.

KW: The Teri Emerson question: When was the last time you had a good laugh?

SG: Just today.

KW: The bookworm Troy Johnson question: What was the last book you read?

SG: How the Mighty Fall by Jim Collins.

KW: Heather Covington asks, what are you listening to?

SG: The last thing I listened to was a CD that came with Success Magazine

KW: What is your favorite dish to cook?

SG: Spaghetti!

KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?

SG: I see hope!

KW: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?

SG: For all the people who have dropped out of school and who don’t think they’re good enough to understand who they really are and that the process for success is the same for everybody, if you understand it.

KW: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory?

SG: I was running in the backyard and scraped my leg against a sharp edge of a rusty chair that severed a big piece of meat out of it.

KW: The Tavis Smiley questions. First, how introspective are you?

SG: I’m a Pisces, so I’m all internal.

KW: Second, what do you want your legacy to be?

SG: That I succeeded in teaching people how to maximize their potential as human beings.

KW: Well, thanks again for the interview, Stedman.

SG: Thank you. This was fun. Man, you’re good!

KW: I get a lot of help. If you notice, most of my questions come from my readers and from celebrities.

SG: Well, you’re the conduit, so you gotta be good to organize it all. Take care.

Martin Luther King Jr. Filler Card Quote Freebies

My kiddo is home from first grade today, we watched President Obama taking the oath of office for the second time and talked at length about Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights movement.  Serious topics for a six year old but one she was very interested in.  Sometimes it is hard for her to understand that as a child of mixed heritage at one point in our country's history she would have been discriminated against and that the marriage between Brad and I would have been against the law.

To mark this day in my Project Life album I decided to create a quote filler card and share them with anyone else who might like to use them.  Both quotes are taken directly from his historic "I Have a Dream" speech.

The top two are 3X4 png files and at the bottom I've put both onto a 4X6 jpeg canvas so anyone who doesn't know how to work with png files can send the image directly to wherever they get their photos printed.  Click on the link below each image and then right click to save to your computer.

These are for personal use only.

I read an MLK quote I'd never heard yesterday which has stuck with me ever since. "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."

As I wrote in op-eds for the Wall Street Journal61 and Medscape,62 the Lancet Public Health study is based on very thin data. The questionnaire underlying the report left out questions regarding popular foods, such as pizza and energy bars, and did not consider alcohol consumption. Moreover, the “low-carb” diet group in this study included people eating up to 37% of calories as carbohydrates—not low-carb according to the latest science. Ultimately, this is the kind of data that can show association but not establish causation, which means it is the kind of data one can use to generate hypotheses but not prove them. This kind of data would never be considered sufficient to approve a drug, for instance. The same standards should be applied to diet. Quite a few researchers, including myself, had our critiques published in Lancet Public Health.63 The authors replied but did not respond to most of the criticisms.

The popular low-carb diets (such as Atkins or Paleo) modify a true keto diet. But they come with the same risks if you overdo it on fats and proteins and lay off the carbs. So why do people follow the diets? "They're everywhere, and people hear anecdotally that they work," McManus says. Theories about short-term low-carb diet success include lower appetite because fat burns slower than carbs. "But again, we don't know about the long term," she says. "And eating a restrictive diet, no matter what the plan, is difficult to sustain. Once you resume a normal diet, the weight will likely return."

The contents displayed within this public group(s), such as text, graphics, and other material ("Content") are intended for educational purposes only. The Content is not intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding your medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read in a public group(s).

In fact, patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have been shown to improve after eating very low carbohydrate diets.31, 32 Another study found increased carb-intake worsened GERD, while a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet reduced symptoms.33 And two studies have linked esophageal diseases, including Barrett’s esophagus (BE)34 and GERD,35 to sugar and carbohydrate intake.
The classic ketogenic diet is not a balanced diet and only contains tiny portions of fresh fruit and vegetables, fortified cereals, and calcium-rich foods. In particular, the B vitamins, calcium, and vitamin D must be artificially supplemented. This is achieved by taking two sugar-free supplements designed for the patient's age: a multivitamin with minerals and calcium with vitamin D.[18] A typical day of food for a child on a 4:1 ratio, 1,500 kcal (6,300 kJ) ketogenic diet comprises three small meals and three small snacks:[28]
Full disclosure: I have followed a low-carb diet for nearly a decade and find no problem adhering to it. I’ve lost weight and all my cardiovascular biomarkers have improved. Moreover, I’ve studied the science and history behind low-carbohydrate diets, so beyond my personal experience, I bring an evidence-based perspective. (Previously, for 25+ years, I adhered faithfully to a “mostly plants” regimen of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, including my own homemade 7-grain bread, while exercising religiously. Yet during that time my blood lipids were unhealthy, and I never could shake an extra 10-20 pounds.)
When your body burns its stores of fat, it can be hard on your kidneys. And starting a ketogenic diet -- or going back to a normal diet afterward -- can be tricky if you’re obese because of other health issues you’re likely to have, like diabetes, a heart condition, or high blood pressure. If you have any of these conditions, make diet changes slowly and only with the guidance of your doctor.
Weight loss is the primary reason my patients use the ketogenic diet. Previous research shows good evidence of a faster weight loss when patients go on a ketogenic or very low carbohydrate diet compared to participants on a more traditional low-fat diet, or even a Mediterranean diet. However, that difference in weight loss seems to disappear over time.
As discussed in the first article of this series, ketosis is a metabolic state in which the brain switches to using ketone bodies – derived from the breakdown of fat – as its primary energy source, instead of glucose. This way body protein, which would otherwise be broken down and converted into glucose through the process of gluconeogenesis, are spared.
The past 4 years I was suffering from mild to severe pain all over my body and unrelenting fatigue, sleep disturbances, brain fog, etc. Diagnosed with Sjogren’s Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Medication included Vicodin, Morphine and a muscle relaxer. I would not take Plaquenall (spelling?), Lyrica or other “biologics”. I was taking a bunch of supplements but nothing was improving.

The ketogenic diet may seem like the latest weight-loss craze, but it’s actually been around for nearly a century. Developed in the 1920s, this ultra-low-carb, high-fat eating plan was originally used to treat seizures in people with epilepsy. Today, it’s getting some serious attention for an entirely different reason. “There’s growing research showing that the ketogenic diet is effective for managing blood sugar in people with diabetes,” says William Yancy, MD, program director at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina. “However, because we don’t have studies [lasting] longer than two or three years, we don’t know what can happen with regard to complications over longer periods of time.”

In the 1960s, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) were found to produce more ketone bodies per unit of energy than normal dietary fats (which are mostly long-chain triglycerides).[15] MCTs are more efficiently absorbed and are rapidly transported to the liver via the hepatic portal system rather than the lymphatic system.[16] The severe carbohydrate restrictions of the classic ketogenic diet made it difficult for parents to produce palatable meals that their children would tolerate. In 1971, Peter Huttenlocher devised a ketogenic diet where about 60% of the calories came from the MCT oil, and this allowed more protein and up to three times as much carbohydrate as the classic ketogenic diet. The oil was mixed with at least twice its volume of skimmed milk, chilled, and sipped during the meal or incorporated into food. He tested it on 12 children and adolescents with intractable seizures. Most children improved in both seizure control and alertness, results that were similar to the classic ketogenic diet. Gastrointestinal upset was a problem, which led one patient to abandon the diet, but meals were easier to prepare and better accepted by the children.[15] The MCT diet replaced the classic ketogenic diet in many hospitals, though some devised diets that were a combination of the two.[10]
Keto recipes that include nachos?! Oh yes. You’ll begin by making the fat head tortilla chips first. Did I mention you’ll use two types of cheese for this step? Delicious. Next, you’ll load them up with a meaty sauce and finish them off with your favorite toppings, like guac, salsa or sour cream. While these make a delicious keto snack, they’re frankly filling enough to share as a meal.
The ketogenic diet is usually initiated in combination with the patient's existing anticonvulsant regimen, though patients may be weaned off anticonvulsants if the diet is successful. Some evidence of synergistic benefits is seen when the diet is combined with the vagus nerve stimulator or with the drug zonisamide, and that the diet may be less successful in children receiving phenobarbital.[18]

The keto diet is one of the most effective that I’ve come across and one of the more straightforward (as opposed to easy!) to follow. In a nutshell, when you’re on a keto diet, you eat a very low-carb, high-fat diet. That means goodbye pasta and bread, hello cheese and oils. It’s pretty much the opposite of what we’ve been taught our entire lives. But it works if you follow the keto diet food list. Plus, you can make many favorite recipes keto-friendly.
Look, the good doctor is right – he only forgot to stress “portion control” which is why many fanatical dieters are so kee-jerk reactive to any discussion – odds are you over ate like a hog before your keto diet, and are weak and insecure in your diet plans. Eat EVERYTHING in small amounts, and you will live long and prosper. The only thing to avoid are processed foods. Cook your meals from scratch using quality ingredients.
If you’ve decided to move forward in trying the keto diet, you will want to stick to the parameters of the eating plan. Roughly 60 to 80 percent of your calories will come from fats. That means you’ll eat meats, fats, and oils, and a very limited amount of nonstarchy vegetables, she says. (This is different from a traditional low-carb diet, as even fewer carbs are allowed on the keto diet.)

Reservoir levels in the Howth area

Friday, December 3, 2010

Reservoir levels in the Howth area are very low due to the increased demand on the water supply network during this extended cold spell of weather and a leakage issue.

Efforts are being made to locate and repair the leak.  Water supply will be disrupted for intermittent periods during the day while we locate this leak.

Customers in Howth are asked to use water sparingly and only for essential purposes in order to maintain reservoir levels and to avoid further disruptions to supply.

Mac Miller – On And On And Beyond EP (2011) – Review

Mac Miller – On And On And Beyond
Among the artists named to XXL’s 2011 Freshman List, Mac Miller’s sound fits into the backpacker hip hop sub-genre. His flow is laid back and chill, but he does not have the vocal charisma of other artists in the genre like Kid Cudi, which leaves him sounding a little bland. His lyrics are mostly positive. He is talking about his life and not attacking others in the game. His message is directed at a younger audience (and that demographic makes up a high percentage of his fans, and he himself is only 19). Musically, he raps over old-school beats mixed with sort of a Gym Class Heroes sound. The Pittsburg MC has the skills (both lyrically and in his flow) to be among the better rappers coming up, and certainly many regard him as such – but On And On And Beyond is too much of a sit back and zone out album (i.e. background music) to be truly great. It does not engage its listener. However, Mac Miller is someone to watch. 2/5

1)      Live Free – Produced by Jay Fish

Flights To Ireland
The cost of flights to Ireland has steadily risen ever since the late 1970's. One reason is due to the recent surge in family genealogical research. It appears that, after the television mini-series 'Roots' was aired, many families decided to try to learn about their own ancestors. Genealogy is not a new past time because some families have done it for many years.

It is very exciting to travel to new places to explore the culture. One of the most common tourist locations is Ireland. The duration of flights to Ireland varies depending on where you depart. From Boston's Logan Airport, the flight is about seven and one-half hours to Dublin Airport, with one brief stop at Shannon Airport. Most major airports around the world offer regular flights to Ireland, which may entail a layover to change planes.

Dublin and Shannon are Ireland's two major airports but there are about twenty smaller ones, mostly used by charter planes to avoid the congestion at the larger airports. You may want to fly into one of the smaller airports if your stay will be in a specific area near one of them.

The cost of a flight to Ireland is going to vary greatly, mostly due to which time of year you will be traveling. People tend to travel more in the summer and during the holidays, so it is much more expensive during 'high season'. There are times of the year when 'off season' rates apply and airlines offer special promotions. The least expensive time of year is spring, then fall and, finally, winter, except for about two weeks around Christmas and the New Year.

Most travel agencies are happy to help you set up your flight plans, as well as offering package deals including flight, accommodations and rental car. Travel agents know about specials before the general public does, or before they are posted online. If you book your flight as part of a package including your accommodations and other events, you will likely be able to save more than by paying for the flight separately.

If you are able to fly to Ireland on a moment's notice, you can take advantage of very low fares. Most airlines would rather sell the empty seats at a huge price reduction than to allow them to go completely empty and generate no money from them at all. Sometimes you are able to get a good price for an empty seat in first class and you should take advantage of it. You will have all the leg room you need for such a long flight.

Red Wine Headache- Myth or Real?

Quite a few of my friends react to red wine.

I used to- in face as little as a half glass of a California Cab would send me running for an aspirin; so I don't poo poo folks who say they can't tolerate red wine.

That intolerance is doubly unfortunate- red wines are not only glorious with a whole range of dishes, but research has shown  health benefits of drinking red wine in moderation, including increased bone mineral density in post menopausal women, slowing  macular degeneration ( a significant cause of age related blindness), and increased production of "good" cholesterol, which may have benefits for heart health, and even protection against hearing loss

Fortunately for me, one of the compensations of getting old(er) is that your metabolism tends to change. Now I can drink red wine with no more effect than white wine or spirits, and I am grateful.

Even so, I am still curious about what it is in red wine that so many folks seem to react to.

Isn't Red Wine Headache same thing as a hangover?

There is a difference between a hangover and the specific reaction to red wine often termed RWH (for red wine headache).

 The headache that comes with a hangover takes longer to develop and is frequently the result of dehydration: a known cause of headache. Alcohol is a diuretic, and unless you consume a great deal of water along with your tipple, you are likely to become dehydrated and wake up with a headache the next morning (along with other unpleasant symptoms)

RWH can hit much sooner, even as quickly as within a quarter hour of consuming red wine. (I know this from experience!) and among the causes that have been speculated upon are the presence of sulfites, and/or allergic reactions to histamines,  tannins or other amines present in greater quantity in red wines than in whites.

But is it the sulfites?

The warning label on all wines has created the impression that sulfites are the likely culprit in producing red wine headaches as well as other negative side effects.

Sulfites, a byproduct of fermentation, are present in all wines, even those produced organically. They are often added to wine in the winery, first to destroy wild yeast  in order to have a more controlled fermentation, and later to either stop fermentation while there is still residual sugar (producing a wine with noticeable sweetness on the palate) or as a preservative and anti-oxidant. Without it, wine would spoil quickly.

Generally, there are more sulfites in white wine than in red wine and more in sweet wines than in dry wines, so they are unlikely the cause of the RWH. Also, there are usually more sulfites in a glass of orange juice than in a bottle or wine, so again, not the likely cause.

So why have a warning label on each and every bottle of wine?

Well, a small percentage of the population, especially severe asthmatics, have extreme reactions to sulfites; hence the government requires a warning label on all foods and beverages with sulfites added

If not the sulfites, then what?

A number of compounds, including tannins  present in red wine are known to cause blood vessels to dilate, including those in the head: a known cause of headache.

Biogenic amines, such as histamine, can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals including headache, GI upset, shortness of breath, and even irregular heartbeat.

The amounts of these compounds vary by varietal ,where the grapes were grown, and how they were fermented according to an article in Culinaire Magazine (available free on line. The article in question is on page 56). In a nutshell, old world wines tend to be higher in biogenic amines, especially Champagne, Chianti and Riesling, than their new world counterparts. Bordeaux reds and California Cabs tend to have high concentrations, while cool weather Pinot Noir (such as we grow here in Oregon) tend to be lower.

As the article suggests, wine is complex, and contains many compounds in varying concentrations. If you are one of the unfortunates that tends to suffer headache from red wines, keep a journal. Check out reds with lower tannin concentrations- perhaps half a glass only- and track the results to see which ones you can tolerate without difficulty.

If all else fails, get old like I did. Whatever it was that caused the headaches when I was younger no longer seems to have any effect. Good thing too. I really like red wine!

Airways continuously supply special deals for great locations from MKE. The average flight time to fly between these two cities is 5 hours and 17 minutes.

German Regulators Order OneCoin to 'Dismantle Trading System'

Germany is stepping up its ongoing crackdown on OneCoin, a digital currency investment scheme widely believed to be fraudulent.

The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has issued new cease-and-desist orders to two holding companies connected to OneCoin – Onecoin Ltd, Dubai and OneLife Network Ltd – ordering them to “dismantle their internet based ‘OneCoins’ trading system” and to “end all sales promotion activities” in Germany effective immediately.

OneCoin is an investment scheme centered around a purported digital currency, for which packages of “tokens” are sold that can later be exchanged. The operation has long been accused of operating a pyramid scheme, as participants are encouraged by advocates to find other buyers.

Notably, the regulator suggested that OneCoin promoters in Germany hadn’t sought permission prior to conducting their activities, a determination that BaFin said spurred the latest cease-and-desist notices.

BaFin said it had issued a cease-and-desist notice to a third entity connected to OneCoin, One Network Services, for supporting the unauthorized sale of OneCoin in Germany.

The move indicates that Germany is accelerating its efforts to keep OneCoin out of the country. It comes just over a week after BaFin moved to halt the operations of a OneCoin-tied payment processor in Germany, freezing €29m in connected bank accounts.

But Germany isn’t the only country to crack down on OneCoin. Reports surfaced this week that authorities in India had arrested at least 18 individuals connected to the scheme.

A number of central banks have also issued warnings, including Thailand’s, according to reports.

Home Improvement

Since CATS remodeled, there has not been a decent finger/hangboard in any of the local gyms for a while. So I am finally installing some finger edges in the cellar. I am also putting plans together to make a small bouldering wall so I don't have to travel in town if I don't need to. Any suggestions are welcome.

I spent some time Saturday afternoon working the V10 R to L traverse on Red Wall. All the moves are done and I think I can link it next visit. It's a good challenge. Very crimpy in the first half, then great holds and followed by a testy finish. A really worthy testpiece and a good job by Ted Lanzano.

Here's a video from Switzerland that is quite good:

I was born and raised here in the city of brotherly love. In 2013, I decided to cease my education in Biology to pursue my true calling as an actor and a musician. I also started working as a Segway tour guide here in Philly. As a tour guide, I would often take guests to “The Magic Gardens.” My daily excursions to Isaiah Zagar’s incredible gallery/school inspired me to create a mosaic series of my own, called “CDecoupage”! I recycle old CDs, DVDs, and games into mosaic sculpture and collage. I utilize the discs’ original colors, texts, and images to bring my aesthetic vision into fruition.

The usage of discs as my medium reflects a myriad of themes. The cutting of the discs symbolize the inner strength to let go of past events and/or losses that may prevent one from moving forward. My reinterpretation of them reflect the embracing of future ambitions. Our generation’s advances in science and technology have been achieved at an almost exponential rate. It is crucial for future generations to respect this time as humanity moves further into our limitless future. My craft is a bridge from the past to the future. Lastly, the recycling of the obsolete discs promotes global conservation.

The Future Of Food

The Future of Food

By: Dr. David Jockers

Genetically modified organisms (GMO's) have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetically engineering techniques.  This technology is thought to increase food yields and create super foods that grow larger and are more resilient to pests.  Despite mounting evidence, the FDA and food industry continue to say GM foods are safe, tested and necessary to feed a world dying of starvation.  After many years of research on risk/benefit of GMO products, it is now quite obvious that they pose an extremely significant hazard to human health.  There are critical steps a consumer can take to avoid consuming GMO foods.

One of the most popular genetic crop modifications makes plants immune to herbicides.  In particular, the company called Monsanto has made a whole line of "RoundUp Ready," crops that are resistant to the RoundUp herbicide.  However, the natural world is far superior than man's attempt to manipulate and control nature.

 Fields that have been sprayed with RoundUp for multiple years are now seeing super weeds that are impervious to RoundUP and grow up to six to seven feet tall.  Andrew Kimbrell is the Executive Director of the Center for Food Safety since 1997.  He says that we now have 10-20 million acres of these super weeds that you cannot kill.

 The RoundUp herbicide is also a powerful toxin for human consumption.  GM products are highly sprayed with such herbicides and many strong pesticides.  These toxins cause serious damage within the human body.

 Unlike many other countries, GMO containing foods are still unlabeled here in America.  However, according to a recent survey, if they were labeled 53% of participants said they would not eat them.  Currently 60-70% of our food in the US is genetically modified.  Children's foods are the number one GMO containing products.

Many processed foods contain 90-100% GM ingredients.  Most all non-organic breads and other baked goods contain GM ingredients.  Most non-organic chocolate, sweets, candy, gum, etc. contain GM ingredients.  Most non-organically raised animal (meat, dairy, eggs) products contain GM ingredients.  These animals are typically fed a diet that is 90+% GMO.  Most non-organic beverages (beer, wine, soft drinks, juices) contain GM ingredients.

 In May of 2009, The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) sent out a press release that called for an immediate moratorium on GM foods.  They asked physicians to educate their patients and provide educational material about the health risks associated with GM foods.  They proposed that physicians consider the role of GM foods in their patients' disease processes.

 In their position paper, the AAEM sites several animal studies that indicate extreme health risks associated with GM foods.  Some of the health risks include infertility, immune dysfunction, allergic reactions, accelerated aging, insulin dysregulation, organ malfunction and digestive dysfunction.

 The AAEM quoted in their paper, "There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation, as defined by recognized scientific criteria. The strength of association and consistency between GM foods and disease is confirmed in several animal studies."

How to Avoid Purchasing GMO Foods:

1.     Buy organic and Beyond Organic as much as possible

2.     Buy foods labeled "Non-GMO"

3.     Avoid non-organic products containing corn, soy, canola, cottonseed, peanut, alfalfa, safflower, tomatoes, zucchini, crookneck squash, sugar cane, beats, peppers & papayas.

4.     Avoid GMO offspring products such as high fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, soy lecithin, soy protein, etc.

5.     Avoid non-organic dairy products and all other commercialized animal products.

6.     Grow your own food products or purchase them from local farmers who do not use GM seeds and products in their farms.

These Genetically Modified Foods (GMO's) were engineered by big chemical companies such as Monsanto, Dupont, Bayer, and many others.  These companies are linked to a multitude of crimes on humanity and now they are looking to control our food supply.  Currently, 60-70% of our current food supply contains GMO's.  Children's foods are the number one GMO containing products.

GMO Foods are now contributing to many major health problems including:

Cancer - Birth Defects - Infertility - Poor Immunity - Allergies - Asthma

When animals are offered a choice between a GMO and a non-GMO food, the animals always choose the non-GMO food.  Many times they will do this to the point of starvation, as they have an intuitive sense of the danger of this food.

It's important to realize that the key to ending the ongoing atrocity of GM foods lies not with government, but with you and me. Consumers are going to have to drive GM foods out, and we CAN do it.  Through educating yourself, your family, friends and community about GMOs, and most importantly of all, through the food purchases you make, you can stop this unregulated science experiment.

Once we reach the tipping point, which is probably as little as five percent of the US population, the market WILL respond. They can't afford not to! Once enough people refuse to buy GM food products, it won't be long before food manufacturers start switching their ingredients.

The SA National Defence Force (SANDF) has confirmed that the ANC has paid the R105,000 bill it received for the controversial lift its party members were given with defence minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula on an air force jet to Zimbabwe.

SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said the ANC paid the money on September 30 into the departmental account. The process to transfer the money to the National Revenue Fund is under way, Dlamini said.

This comes after claims by the DA that the ANC had not paid for the flight to Zimbabwe. The figure was contained in documents President Cyril Ramaphosa made public on September 30, something he said he did in the interests of “transparency”.

The documents Mapisa-Nqakula submitted to Ramaphosa show the trip to Zimbabwe in September, when she offered “to ferry” an ANC delegation to Harare on a party-political mission on the jet, cost the taxpayer R232,000 in total.

The ANC was responsible for settling R105,000 of the bill for the transportation of its seven-member delegation. The balance will be treated as normal costs incurred for flying the defence minister and her support staff to an official meeting.

Sunday Times Daily reported in September that Ramaphosa had reprimanded Mapisa-Nqakula over her conduct, and fined her three months’ salary as part of her punishment.

Mapisa-Nqakula said “in hindsight” it would “have been prudent” of her to inform  Ramaphosa before offering the ANC delegation a lift, but she did not need “specific permission”.

That was according to a supplementary report Mapisa-Nqakula submitted to Ramaphosa on September 22 as he held her accountable for the trip. Times
