On a Lighter Note

This clip was very fun -- Steve Buscemi's tap dancing was such a treat -- he is quite nimble and smooth!

The takeaway I got wasn't a "Big Pharma is good, alternative medicine is bad" position. Rather, I do think regulation is in order when reports show that some supplements contain none of the active ingredients listed on the bottle label. Supplements aren't cheap, nor are they covered by insurance. So it would be great if we could feel confident about what we are buying!  I do take tamoxifen, but I am always looking for complementary supplements. I sure hope the Vitamin D3, DIM, and turmeric that I take are pure and actually what are described. 

the amount, momine.  they arn't allowed to take what is now concidered theapudic doses.

perhaps it's things like vitamin c infusions

those nordic lands don't get a lot of winter sun & so must need an even bigger dose ov vitamin d than usual, I don;t take these things so I don't know what's usual, but if the reccomended dose for maximum help is 1000 mg & the drugstore pills are only 5 mg, they're not going to be much help

which friend?  it was gary who mentioned it in regard to the atrementarious law which has gone to congress at least once.  out access to the doses of supplements who'd like to take here in the us could be severely limited as well

I guess we all now are aware that the oz video had a virus atatched, not such a bvad one, but annoying:  an ad for one of the weight loss supplements oz promotes

I don't know from cookies or viri but I got a I donno personal message from my sister on my email & when opened it was the gamboge? ad.  evidently everyone on her email got it as well & I assumed it was from here & here doesn't have my email but accessing the video might have given it.  she thought it was generated by an east ) indian friend.  she said to change password or the stuff would keep coming but no more has

this reminds me of the time my neighbour went on a trip without her laptop charging cord because she knew the hotel had "wireless".

Here is some information on e-mail getting hacked.

Are your contacts getting emails that you didn't send? Is your Sent folder (or any other folder) suddenly empty or missing? If so, it's possible that your account has been compromised.

What's the difference between hacked and spoofed?

Your Sent folder may offer the best clue to  whether you have been hacked or spoofed. 

• If you DO find email in your Sent folder that you did NOT send: Your account has been  compromised (hacked).
• If you DO NOT find  any strange email in your Sent Folder: Your account has most  likely been spoofed.

A compromised account is one that has been accessed by someone other than you. It usually means someone figured out your password (without your knowledge or consent) and was able to log in to your account.

Check for these signs:

• Your inbox is full of MAILER-DAEMON rejection notices for messages you didn't send. 
• People you know are getting emails from you that you didn't send. 
• There are outgoing messages in your Sent, Drafts or Outbox folder that you didn't create or send.
  Note: If there are no Spam emails in your Sent Folder, but you are still receiving MAILER-DAEMON messages, and your Contacts are receiving messages that you didn't send, your account most likely been spoofed.
• Your account folders (Sent, Deleted, Spam, Inbox, etc.) have been emptied or deleted. 
• Your Address Book contacts have been erased. 
• During sign-in or when sending a message, you're asked to pass an image challenge. 
• Emails you try to send are suddenly getting refused and returned to you. 
• There are contacts in your Address Book you didn't add. 
• You keep getting bumped offline when you're signed into your account. 
• Your Display Name has been changed or looks odd. 
• Your email signature suddenly has a link you didn't put there. 
• You're not getting new mail or your new mail is going straight into your Saved IMs folder.

If you think your account has been compromised, you should:

• Change your password immediately.
  IMPORTANT: New passwords should be at least six characters long and include at least one number, letter (combination of upper and lower cases) and special character ($, *, &, !, etc.). Make sure your new password is different from any other passwords you have used. Also, if you used the same password for other online accounts such as social media and financial services, change those passwords as well. We strongly advise you use different passwords for different social media accounts. 
• Make sure you have antivirus software installed and updated.
• Change your Account Security Question.
• Review any Away Messages tied to your account to ensure no one has inserted spam or other inappropriate content. 
• Check your Display Name (the name people see when you send them mail) to make sure it doesn't contain the letters "AOL", "A.O.L." or "Aol". Spammers sometimes change an account's Display Name.

Yum, that looks good! I just printed off the recipe, but the problem with me and cookies is that I tend to eat about 12 in one sitting....which somewhat negates the health benefits of them being sugarless!

I have been disappointed in Dr. Oz as he has so much good to say and has
spoiled such a good opportunity to educate viewers. I wonder why none
of his production team told him a few home truths about the areas where he could end up giving out dubious information and sabotaging his show.

At the same time, rather than worry about obviously (to us health enthusiasts) silly claims by Dr. Oz, we need to be up in arms about the food industry and our governments' lack of regulations to protect our health.  In order to keep the dollars flowing from junk food companies, our governments turn a blind eye to all the stripping of nutrients and addition of fattening unhealthy ingredients and dubious additives.  Most people live on a diet of starch such as bread, pasta, pastry, cakes and breakfast cereals all stripped of their natural nutrients and mixed with sugars, bad fats and other flavourings and additives to enhance their addictiveness so they can sell more and make more money.

I will start a new thread as I feel this is an important subject that we need to be concerned with.
