Despite the advances in baby bottle technology and safety, there are still many people that do not like to use plastic or polycarbonate bottles to feed their babies. In this case, the best option to go for is to use glass baby bottles. Glass baby bottles have zero BPA and are completely safe to use. You don't have to worry about harmful chemicals leeching into your baby's formula or milk.

Running Doc: What to eat and drink pre- and post-workout

clipper's remarks: French fries and chocolate milk, anyone?

More:

Post workout, a recovery drink that has carbs as well as added protein is best (in a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of carbohydraterotein) so as to have amino acids available for repair. If you do not have a “recovery drink” be sure to eat protein in your next meal. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretzels, tomato juice, and chocolate milk are all good food alternatives to the scientific drinks. Many runners I know love French fries and chocolate milk after a marathon—it works great and you deserve the treat!

Recovery drinks and foods are an important consideration and should be practiced in training.

In order to understand what to eat and drink, you need to understand what you are “recovering” from. When you exercise, muscle membrane breaks down on a microscopic level and there are mico-tears of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Healing (and minimizing post-event muscle soreness) depends on having amino acids in your body to re-build the protein in these structures. One also should replenish carbs and fats that were used to provide energy. Therefore, a good diet all week that includes these food groups is important, as is a good pre-workout (or pre-race) meal.

My favorite pre-workout (or race) meal is the “Elvis bagel”

peanut butter and banana on a bagel

On hot days, I use a salted bagel to get extra salt in my system. (I don't use gels; I like real food.)

Timing before the run is individual and should be practiced in training.

Running Doc: Pre- and post-race tips for newbies

clipper's remarks: More:

The day of your race, eat the same as you do on long training runs/walks…my favorite pre-race meal in training: the “Elvis Bagel” (peanut butter and banana on a bagel)…

After the event, within 2 hours of finishing, have a recovery drink with protein in it. There are commercial products but chocolate milk works as good as all these scientific mixes…

“Marathon feet” are common to get in the middle of the night post race…This again is due to inflammation of the soft tissue structures and easily preventable. When you get back to your home or hotel room, a simple immersion in an ice bath for 15 minutes will prevent this happening to you!…

Do not get a post event massage until a minimum of 2 hours after finishing the race…Do not try any new stretches or have someone stretch you out again until 72 hours have passed…

Give yourself two or three days of rest before starting your training again. Try a nice swim in these days, but allow yourself some recovery time.

Running or walking a half or full marathon distance is not a walk around the block. Even with the best of training, you will not feel “normal” at the finish. Of course you will have done the salt, drunk for thirst, taken a baby aspirin, and run/walked within your limits so nothing physiologically is “wrong.” You will feel tired -- exhausted, even -- and your muscles and feet will ache from the repetitive exercise you have performed over hours on race day. Expect this. Think of it as “getting your money’s worth”!
To prevent or really lessen post-event muscle soreness, follow these guides
Practice proper eating in training
No new shoes or clothing for race day
No new stretches or stretching out
if you have a new ache or pain, get checked by a sports doctor early so it doesn’t mushroom
Practice only drinking for thirst and drinking the sports drink that will be on the course of your event; check the event web site to find out what sports drink they will be serving.

Meanwhile, Real Housewife of New York City, Kelly Bensimon has been confirmed for the January issue of Playboy. She won't bare it all, though, says a source:

"Kelly is only going to be topless. She shot the spread at Milk Studios in NYC and - get this - her ex-husband [French fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon] was the photographer.”

Looks like fans will soon see if Bensimon's body parts are as real as her status as a housewife

clipper's remarks: the man who was to become President of the United States of America.

If we follow the time line on where Obama was during the funding of the Chicago Climate Exchange, he was still a professor at the University of Chicago Law School teaching constitutional law, with his law license becoming inactive a year later in 2002.

It may be interesting to note that the Chicago Climate Exchange in spite of its hype, is a veritable rat’s nest of cronyism. The largest shareholder in the Exchange is Goldman Sachs. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is its honorary chairman, The Joyce Foundation, which funded the Exchange also funded money for John Ayers’ Chicago School Initiatives. John is the brother of William Ayers.

What a flap when it was discovered that the senator from Chicago had nursed on Saul Alinsky’s milk, had his political career launched at a coffee party held by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and sat for 20 years, uncomplaining in front of the

“On Monday, the stock plunged by 49%, soon landing at $5 a share. By early 1997, furious stockholders had filed a class action suit against the company and its directors. Ironically, one of the class action lawyers had tangled with Maurice strong in another insider trading case, involving a Swiss company called AZL Resources, chaired by Strong, who was also a lead shareholder. The AZL case closely mirrored Molten Metal, and in the end, Strong and the other AZL partners agreed to pay $5 million to dodge a jury verdict, when eyewitness evidence surfaced of Strong’s role in scamming the value of the company stock up into the stratosphere, before selling it off.

In 1997, Strong went on to accept from Tongsun Park, who was found guilty of illegally acting as an Iraqi agent, $1 million from Saddam Hussein, which was invested in Cordex Petroleum Inc., a company he owned with his son, Fred.

quick cystic acne tips

1) Avoid greasy food, especially french fries and stuff from Kentucky
    Fried Chicken.ken
2) Avoid dairy products (milk and cheese). Don’t eat pizza, and if you like
    cereal than use skim milk.
3) Take a tablespoon of safflower oil daily (sold in virtually
    any grocery store. A good brand is “Hollywood”). Keep in
    refrigerator after opening. This provides essential fatty acids
    which are of great importance to skin, and in some people are
    all that is necessary to clear up their acne.
4) The best soap I’ve come acrosss is Basis. It is non-comedegenic and
    doesn’t make the skin too dry. Use the normal skin or the extra dry skin
    formula. Wash face 3 times daily with lukewarm water.
5) Take a moderately dosed multi-vitamin, such as Centrum.

hopefully those cystic acne tips will help you

Ten useful suggestions to reduce saturated fat

1.While preparing food involving meat, please ensure that you choose only leaner cuts of meat and also remove fat content in the meat wherever it is possible to remove.
2.You can try to downsize the intake of meat content in your daily diet program
3.Avoid using butter or margarine for cooking and instead replace them with olive oil or vegetable oil
4.Avoid using meat in stir-fries and instead replace that with nuts or tofu.
5.While eating sandwich, try to replace the cheese, which gels with sandwich, with avocado slices.
6.Avoid using fried potato and instead eat more of baked potatoes. Adding low-fat yogurt instead of a sour cream along with potato will be better.
7.Look for milk with lower-fat content instead of the normal milk that has more fat.
8.Use more of buttermilk in mashed potatoes and salad dressings, and avoid adding butter or mayonnaise.
