I have always found the statement "It Works" in relation to AA, or most other treatment programs, to be distasteful. It seems to imply a level fo efficacy that is misleading. For example, if i were to say "Morpheine works to provide pain relief", that would be a medical fact. It is proven to provide pain relief, and does so (i assume) in all cases where adminstration is biologically tolerated.
But this is not the case with any method of addiction treatment. Addicts respond to different methods of treatment, and no one treatment is effective for everyone. Thus, AA members usually make the disclaimer "It works, for me". But this kind of statement is inappropriate for any treatment methodology. It either works or it doesn't. Pharmaceuticals are not approved on the basis of them working "for me". Minimum standards are required in order to claim they are an effective treatment.
A comment by genejoe on an earlier Al-Anon blog post, which said that psychological treatment may help some people, got me thinking. I think i would be more comfortable with recovered addicts saying "It helps", or "It helped me". This type of statement is not only a more accurate reflection of the subjective experience, it also points to the complexity of addiction recovery - multiple inputs are usually required.
I just wonder if 12 Step members are trying to gain some sort of credibility by claiming "It works", even though the claim is not scientifically valid.
Any thoughts?
Any program where not drinking is an element of the program works if you work it. So yes, if not drinking is part of the AA program, and you follow the entire program, then AA will work. Of course, that's not saying much.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
It helps has a more genuine ring to it. It works just doesn't make sense. What works? Which part? There are too many conflicting messages for "it works" to be true. It doesn't. People succeed and people fail with or without the fellowship, with or without the steps, with or without the literature.
It might help. It might not. I wonder how I would have felt if that was the message that I heard? Would that have been better or worse? I'm not sure but at least it would have been an honest message.
And what about "it gets better?" That always bothered me more than "it works." What if it doesn't get better? What then? There were never any answers beyond keep coming back and work those steps.
Tell me this: "AA might help you get through this truly horrific time in your life if you're willing to do the leg work and lean on us for some moral support and companionship. Other than that, it's up to you. You'll either do it or you won't."
"If I forget who I am, I am myself. If I remember who I am, I am you."
voids the undeserved credibility that the recovery industry relies on to bilk health insurance carriers big bucks.
There is no such thing as a "program" for alcoholism. Either you drink, or you don't. There is no such thing as a "program" that gets you sober or keeps you sober. There is no such thing as a "program" that makes you want to be sober, as much as there is no "program" that makes you want to mow your lawn.
AA gives people a reason to meet and provides ideas that occupy a persons mind and their time.
In reality, these activities could be anything that is not related to drinking, as Pennywise stated above.
So I can see where AA helps (great choice of a word), to change the addiction behavior. Unfortunately it is designed to keep a person stuck in a new behavior cycle. That of a cult religion disciple. This can certainly lead to depression and/or suicide.
And to think it is so unnecessary. All we need is a program that encourages people to make new friends and find new interests. A fellowship, not "program", that sends people to professionals for psychological, spiritual, financial and emotional issues.
msafrany says: "Unfortunately it is designed to keep a person stuck in a new behavior cycle." And what would that new behavior cycle be?
The actual practice of these behaviors vary from member to member, as they say,you can keep what you like and leave the rest. Some of these behaviors include, but are not limited to:
Surrounding yourself with other true believers, with very little social contact with "normies".
Running from meeting to meeting to meeting, to avoid dealing with problems.
To mindlessly shove the 12 step religion onto every stranger that is new to the cult.
To focus obsessively on cult religion teachings, parroting slogans and other "inside" language.
To supress individual thoughts and ideas as being "defective", surrendering to the "truth" of the program.
Getting bored already...bye.
those cult behaviors unfortunately @ times are even worse than when the person was using/drinking! They are detrimental to the culties mental health & to those around them, their families, etc. It's really just such a "sick" program & I think it makes people "sick". Even though I think they have good intentions, the fanatics that represent the average member is just such an unhealthy person to be trying to help anyone else. The whole thing just doesn't have a damn thing to do with health & well being, help or support. I do not think @ this point it can be amended or improved, it just needs to dissolve. My whole life I've watched the Catholic church change their policies in order to maintain members, but I don't think AA can change, they are stuck on stupid.
Changing policy is not changing doctrine, and the Roman Catholic church has done very little policy changing for any reason, either to placate the older members or to attract new members. Vatican II allowed that priests could finally say the mass in Spanish, French of English instead of the traditional Latin. They made it permissible for a Catholic to read a Protestant bible. They have made room for Charismatic masses to be said. Changes in liturgy and administrative practices have been made. But no doctrine changes have occurred, and not one of the teachings and practices of Roman Catholicism adopted over the last 1,600 years was altered in any way by the Second Vatican Council.
"The `Constitution on the Church' makes it abundantly clear that Rome has no intention of revising any of her basic doctrine, but only of updating her methods and techniques for more efficient administration and to present a more attractive appearance. This is designed to make it easier for the Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant churches to return to her fold. There is no indication that she has any intentions of entering into genuine give-and-take church unity negotiations. Her purpose is not union, but absorption. Church union with Rome is strictly a one-way street. The age-old danger that Protestantism has faced from the Roman Church has not diminished; in fact, it may well have increased. For through this less offensive posture and this superficial ecumenicism, Rome is much better situated to carry out her program of eliminating opposition and moving into a position of world dominance. An infallible church simply cannot repent." ~ Dr. Loraine Boettner, preeminent evangelical authority on Roman Catholic doctrine.
patti, I think it would be good if you could find an example other than the Catholic Church to support your argument.

I am graateful to be stuck in my new behavior patterns that I learned in AA 'cause they surely are better than what I had before...
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
For me, the nicest relieve & thing to be out of & away from AA was the quiet. I could think quietly, live quietly, it was peaceful & serene. No more control freaks, no more micro managing from control freaks, no more being belittled for being my self. No more abuse from control freaks & micro managers. A friend of mine from childhood expressed to me he felt the same way upon leaving & said his wake up call was when he left a meeting one night & thought to himself, "I'm not going to let a bunch of dumb fucking roofers run my life anymore". His home group fit the average AA member, blue collar, high school drop out, white, middle aged male. The quiet of my own thoughts, own feelings, no more nonsensical chatter, chatter, chatter. After being quiet for awhile & becoming my own person again, I am grateful to be my own person again.
All that you ever needed to do was practice principles you knew of before AA. You just didn't. Try not to lie. Admit when your wrong. Have some humility. Learn from your mistakes.... I believe that you mentioned a religious background. If that's true than you likely had already learned to be thankful and love yourself and HP. Are you saying that AA taught you these things? What did AA teach you? They tell you to practice "these principles" in all of your affairs. I still don't know what AA teaches and don't think it's much of anything. I'm thinking that you knew what you should do and feel that you needed to be told to do it. They certainly don't explain how. Just do it....or else. The group won't love you, your sponsor will give up on you, there won't be anywhere to go, your husband will be angry. I personally don't think that we need to be taught much more of anything, just figure out what aspects we needed to tune and put in place all that we had learned prior.

all I needed to do was figure out a way to quit drinking. My being did not need an overhaul, I wasn't immoral, selfish, etc. I was in so much pain & agony, so raw, I just drank & drank & drank to numb the pain. It did provide some temporary relief. What bothers me tremendously about AA, is Wilson's description of the addict, he is describing himself & his narcissism, his mental illnesses, it was an unconscious honest description, some truth for a brief moment in the madness of AA. My ethics, morality, being a decent person did not change because I was drunk, I was still decent, kind & thoughtful, I was just drunk most of the time. I went to AA in despair, knew I was going to drink myself to death & like most people actually thought it would help me, instead I got verbally battered, basically relentlessly nagged, my head would actually physically hurt from the contradictions & the lack of logic & nothing making any sense @ all. I had support group experience for other problems & AA was nothing like those groups, we actually listened to one another, no one told anyone what they were thinking or feeling was wrong, no one told you how you should feel about anything. We would tell one another how we had coped or what we had done to deal with the pain, problem, etc. AA has nothing to do with support, you only get support if you are a good little stepper & follow the instructions & lie & say you are serene & all is wonderful, it is absolutely insane. AA is ugly, it's about some seriously mentally ill guy coming up with a con to pay his bills, he was a control freak & narcissist so the group is based on controlling steps to terrify members & keep them for life to work for free, it is a cult, not as hard core as the Moonies, but it is about control & abuse, mind control taking over vulnerable people's minds, the goal for rest of their life's & hopefully AA is in the will of members. AA doesn't teach anything that anyone needs to know to quit an addiction, nothing. I agree with everything you have written. Attacking people's morals, ethics, hearts, souls & minds is just part of a cult's break down process, the steps are to establish a new persona that follows the orders & does not, absolutely does not trust their own mind or heart or self. There isn't a damn thing about AA that is worth knowing or doing.
Steps 6 and 7 must be some kind of behaviour cycle if you have to keep working them. Does God remove these defects of character only temporarily and then they return. Or do you have to keep "being entirely ready" and "humbly ask him" to remove new defects of character that constantly sprout.
If the original defects of character do return, when is it, at the stroke of midnight?
......and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Matthew 24:11
Agree with DC, a real support group, that may help & keep you occupied. A real support group has people who come together with the same problems or feelings & help one another out, with ideas, with things that helped them, etc. Not a "program" with ideals that no one lives up to, nor can they & then you have the contradictions, finger pointing & blame. I think the steps & the babble that go with it, really just come down to a seriously mental ill guy describing himself & coming up with all kinds of tactics to keep people controlled so he can get what he wants in life, especially his wife. I do not like the unhealthy words in AA, especially "sick", that gets thrown around a lot, in multiple situations, there is a lot of diagnosing occurring by unqualified lay people, that is really not good. I think "it works", is just more of that immediately controlling any member, just a sales tactic, buy this it works. I just imagined an AA infomercial, lol.
"A fellowship, not "program", that sends people to professionals for psychological, spiritual, financial and emotional issues."
I agree there are so many issues that a newly sober person has, such as housing, medical, psychological that meeting would be productive instead of a waste of time. BTW, msafrany, becket claims you don't believe people need help with emotional issues. Yet another strawman constructed.

"The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it." ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
I have not said msafrany does not believe people need help with emotional issues. My emphasis on the crack in his philosophy is that it appears he believes everyone's experience in pulling up from the condition of alcoholism should mirror his, and if it does not then it's unadulterated bullshit.

I always see a decent amount of talk with xAers that seems really to be self-talk. It's aimed at themselves. I think the "it works" mantra is almost, for some of them, a reinforcing of their own beliefs. I can't tell you how many times I've seen members insist on saying it while not really telling me or other newcomers just what "it" is. That's just my opinion on it all, that if you're putting your faith in 12 steps to save you from yourself (essentially) you'd better keep reminding yourself that "it works".
Couldn't the same be said for chemotherapy or psychoanalysis? If you find it does not work, then you search for a plan B, right?

1. Anecdotal sources presented as equitable to facts
2. People using Wikipedia articles without checking every single citation and passing that off as fact
3. People comparing chemotherapy to AA
How can anyone even do that with a straight face??? If chemotherapy doesn't work it usually means you are going to die. If AA doesn't work..what are the choices? Manning up and taking responsibility for the mistakes you make instead of blaming your "disease?"
The point of my post was not to compare chemo to AA but to suggest that a) if one believes and is hopeful that a treatment will work, the chance that the outcome of the treatment may be more positive than if that same person does not believe it will work; and b) that if the treatment does not work, an alternate treatment method - or no treatment - must be considered.
What do you FUCKING HATE about that reality? And did you even stop for one FUCKING second to consider what the Plan B to which I alluded might even be?

Just put a disclosure statement on AA;
"AA works for many people and can be a valuable part of substance abuse treatment" However side effects may include, thoughts of suicide, sexually transmitted disease, divorce, euphoric magical thinking, separation from old friends, deprivation, sloganism, guru worship, grandiosity, know-it-all-ism, false humility, closed minded open-mindedness, self righteous pompous prognostication, oral diarrhea.
Please consult your doctor before trying AA or any treatment option including just stopping the behavior.
I smiled at that one. And it reminds me of the ambiguity and how inconsistent AA is. The bb says "We don't know much" yet they seemingly "know" everything.

AA needs disclosure as to other options, the nature of the AA program, and safety issues.
I am not sure it needs to be tinkered with... Who says that AA is a financial program. I don't go to AA looking for a plumber, a finance guy, a mechanic or anything else. I went there for what it offered.
I think this is humorous at best. If you sleep with a guy that has VD and he gives it to you, that isn't AA. That's a guy that has VD giving you the gift that keeps on giving. If you take someone up on a stock tip he gave you at lunch and you make a million, you think he's great but AA didn't make you that million. If you have suicidal thoughts, such as Mary Kennedy who had 5 months sober in AA at the time of her death but who suffered from severe depression and pill usage... That isn't AA killing you. That's an overwhelming life and a Kennedy husband that is a jerk.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
LOL at the reasoning there.....it's OK to blame a Kennedy, just not AA. I'm not necessarily disagreeing either, just giggling a bit at it.
How can you even giggle at it? She got 5 months of sobriety from AA and 16 years of crap from a Kennedy that overwhelmed her. Did people giggle at the suicide attempts of people here on the forum? It's a tragic event.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Clara, I wasn't giggling about HER! Not at all! It was your comment that AA can't be even a contributing factor--but a Kennedy could. Of course I can laugh at that sort of comment! As can anyone who isn't on first name basis with the Kennedy family, which I am not. I don't know whether he "overwhelmed" her or not.
AA is what contributed to her sobriety per the articles. Of course, I am not on first names with the Kennedy family, but the reports point to the breakdown in her marriage, the treatment of her husband and his new relationship as strong factors in her view on life.
I realize that no one on this board would ever attribute anything positive to AA even if the people around Mary did.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Seriously, if AA contributed to her sobriety in a positive way, wouldn't the end result be that she was still alive? I understand that there were many variables, her other problems, but going to AA did not save her life. I guess being in AA wasn't enough of a reason to keep her alive. If in fact AA had been a positive, isn't it possible it also was a negative? Maybe @ the meetings, realizing it had come to this, being there, the sadness of the people @ the meetings & the meetings themselves. I know that for me, the meetings just made me feel so hopeless, so sad, that it had come to this for me. When people would share & I listened I just would become so overwhelmed with hopelessness & despair. It just was such a negative environment & really sad.
Did someone on this forum actually attempt suicide or just talk about suicide? In either case the recounting would be anecdotal and, therefore, inadmissible and immaterial under Ironic's regime.
"The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks."
― Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian
I didn't say that anecdotal evidence was "immaterial and "inadmissible," just that it isn't equal to actual facts.
I remember a sponsee of mine told me he was worried because he had unprotected sex with his new girlfrind and had not told her he had VD. I insisted that he tell her which he did. It all worked out OK, it turns out that she also had VD and was afraid to tell him.
I never had sex with an AA so I do not have a STD.
Thank You God!
Your logic is remiss. Hard to get an STD when you don't have sex. Just kidding, but your remark is stupid. I'd be a bit more concerned over what I could get out of an NA meeting, if you really want to go down that road.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
"I'd be a bit more concerned over what I could get out of an NA meeting, if you really want to go down that road."
Well, that is exactly why I say you think that alcoholics somehow have some moral high ground over addicts.
I've seen more ALCOHOLIC bums on the street than junkies, for sure. Many many many more empty cans and bottles than needles lying in the street.
You really think drug users have more promiscuous sex than alcoholics?? That is pretty fucking deluded, considering many opiate users can't even get hard/wet while high, and who wants to fuck when they are dopesick and puking?!?!?!
Damn you sound more sheltered than elementary schoolers I have met.
No, Ironic. My husband shared needles and contracted Hep C, but he didn't catch Hep C from sharing a bottle with an alcoholic. It has nothing to do with promiscuity or moral highroad, but lifestyle.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Is about the only thing you can't get from unprotected (very often drunken) sex. They actually aren't even sure you can get it from normal sex anymore (period sex is probably a good way, though).
But HIV, you can get that. And gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, etc. you cannot get from needles. HPV and herpes are non-curable, you can't get those from needles.
I really hope I don't have hep c. Haven't shared a needle in a very long time but I'm so worried last time I relapsed that I shared water, as I shared in my blog. I got tested at the clinic but I'm not waiting 5 hours for my results so I'm having the gyno test me next week. 2-6 week incubation period, I'm hoping 4 weeks is enough that after I'm tested (if I'm -) I will be at ease.
Most people don't know you can get it from just sharing water. My psychiatrist didn't even know that.
He knows that he didn't get it from sharing water, Ironic. His was directly related to shared needles.
Of course you can get all kinds of things from water. But the point is AA isn't going to give you those things, and it was a ridiculous statement to make. You get them from choices you make.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Having sex with an AA or NA is high risk behavior.
Which of course you didn't do for 35 years... LOL. Sex in general can be risky and I don't care how someone met the partner.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
I didn't say anything about your husband sharing water. You might want to read that again. I was talking about myself and just said that some people don't know that sharing water is enough.
So read what I said again and then you can tell me what exactly this "ridiculous" statement was.
You actually can't get a lot of things from water I don't think. But hep you sure can.
Really? In my day, we thought it was incurable.

Amid the whir of drills and the odor of wet paint, the stage floor at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood yawned open Friday morning to reveal a 341/2 -foot-deep chasm.
"Everybody in the house, please be aware I'm opening the hole!" a worker yelled from the precipice of the pit, a space designed by the Dolby's former tenants, the acrobatic theater troupe Cirque du Soleil, to deliver props and performers to the middle of a show with particular drama and efficiency.
The occasion for the spectacle is preparation for the Academy Awards, which is shaping up to be one of the most logistically complex Oscar shows ever, involving multiple singing and dancing casts, extensive use of the potentially dangerous stage lifts and an appearance by a debauched digital teddy bear.
FULL COVERAGE: Oscars 2013 | Top nominees
Producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan have said they intend for Sunday's show to be a celebration of movie musicals, and it will include performances by Adele, Barbra Streisand, Norah Jones and — in a tribute to the James Bond series — Welsh singer Shirley Bassey.
In addition, Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks and Helena Bonham Carter will perform music from their nominated movie, "Les Misérables." Jennifer Hudson will deliver a song from 2006's "Dreamgirls" and Catherine Zeta-Jones will perform music from 2002's "Chicago."
In a tonal and generational contrast to much of the movie musical content, the Oscars will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane, creator of the animated TV show "Family Guy" and writer-director of last summer's raunchy comedy "Ted," which stars Mark Wahlberg and an animated, potty-mouthed teddy bear, both of whom also will appear in the telecast.
Oscars 2013: Nominee list | Live ballot | Trivia | Timeline
On Friday, Adele arrived at the Dolby for a rehearsal of "Skyfall," the nominated Bond theme song, and worked out issues of both sound and fashion.
"A lot more reverb," the British singer called out after a sound check. "Can I get more piano at the very beginning actually?"
When a technician approached to adjust her microphone downward, Adele, who was wearing flats and black leggings, cautioned: "I'm going to have very high heels on the night." For a camera test, crew members held up three potential gowns she might wear.
Predictions: Short Films | Sound | Visual Crafts | Song and Score | Screenplay
Don Mischer, the director, was running the rehearsal. The crew had been readying the stage for the "Skyfall" rehearsal since early morning, when musicians toting trombones and cellos began causing a backup at metal detectors just installed at the Hollywood & Highland Center overnight. On stage, four of Adele's backup singers harmonized with a recorded vocal track and communicated with the show's sound team in between phrases.
"Let the sky fall," they sang. "A little bit more, please.... When it crumbles! 1,2,2, just a little bit more, please. We will stand tall."
Later, as "Les Miserables" director Tom Hooper looked on, his cast rehearsed an ensemble musical number, many with glasses of tea in hand. Told that they would need to sing a few solo bars to test their microphones, Seyfried glanced over at Hathaway, wide-eyed.
Play-at-home ballot: Have you made your picks yet?
"Take a deep breath and know that no one's really listening," Hathaway, who co-hosted the Oscars two years ago, said to her cast mate.
The many musical elements will inevitably add length to the show's planned running time, already at more than three hours, but the producers have condensed some elements. They're having presenters stay onstage to introduce multiple awards, for instance, which reduces time needed for introductions and stage crossing.
Camera blocking and rehearsing began Wednesday with a 30-person cast of stand-ins, who represented the show's planned presenters, a list that includes Kristen Stewart, John Travolta, Halle Berry, Daniel Radcliffe, Sandra Bullock, Jamie Foxx and Michael Douglas. The stand-ins also delivered speeches as potential winners, and gave one of this year's new additions to the Oscars telecast — six college film students delivering the trophies — a chance to work out their moves.
VIDEO: Acting nominees' defining scenes | Jessica Chastain on 'Zero Dark Thirty'
The students also got a chance to learn the backstage shorthand. "Putting them in the garage," for example, means moving presenters to the side of the stage to show a clip.
Outside the theater on a lovely winter day, the Hollywood & Highland Center was being transformed as well, as 6-foot Oscar statues encased in plastic were installed in front of storefronts and a red carpet was rolled out along Hollywood Boulevard.

So why the change you ask?
Well, because I could, and I just think it's more befitting to my custom title!

I have celebrated two Holi's in India with some of the most beautiful people I have met. My first Holi- colors flying everywhere, dancing under a rain shower to Bhangra music with a large group of laughing, exuberant people from various states in India and various countries around the world. Holi, in its array of colors has many stories to share, and my thoughts turn to many possibilities and interpretations of its message. Holi- what is it really?
Those of us in the West who are familiar with Holi, even vaguely so, think of a rainbow of colors, the Indian version of Spain's tomato fight, La Tomatina. The throwing of colors, as fun as it is (an understatement!), is only one aspect of the festival. More

Essemtec provides even more customer benefits with enlarged service portfolio
Press release, August 10, 2008
Essemtec, a worldwide leader for solutions in the area of highly flexible surface mount technology (SMT) production equipment, has centralized and enlarged its service portfolio under the name Flex2 Services. With this innovation Essemtec offers its customers even more advantages for financing, protection of the capital expenditure and the long-term conservation of the machine value.
"Our customers operate the most flexible machines and can additionally have benefits from extremely flexible services, therefore we introduced the name Flex2-Services", explains Florian Schildein, Essemtec's marketing manager. "The Flex2-Service portfolio encompasses tailored support and financing solutions, a capital expenditure protection program, the customized transfer of expertise, as well as the adaptation of equipment to the customer's requirements."
Highly innovative is the 24/7 hotline concept running together a with remote maintenance system. Using an internet-based support solution combined with the worldwide distributed service hotlines provides professional help everywhere, is very fast and avoids unnecessary trips of process and machine specialists. More importantly, the equipment can be productive again very quickly. In the case that a specialist intervention at a customer's fab site is needed, even then Essemtec's customers will have advantages from the localized support and the localized spare parts depots.
The protection of capital expenditure is especially valuable for small but rapidly growing electronic manufacturers. In the case that the production capacity of the equipment is not longer sufficient Essemtec guarantees a fair trade-in. Moreover, Essemtec, together with its partner Fortis-Lease, can offer very attractive financing concepts.
However, Essemtec is not only an established machine supplier but also shares its effective process expertise. The specialists gain this experience, among others, trough Essemtec's own electronics manufacture, and then hand it down in the global competence centers. Those who know almost nothing about SMT are as welcome as the most experienced process specialist having served many years in the industry. Training courses can be adjusted to meet the customer's demand.
Together with the machine delivery the customers gets full access to the company's customer portal MyEssemtec.com. Here, all the important information about the systems is available, for example manuals, schematic diagrams and profound reports on customer experience.
The Flex2-Services offer real benefits. With this expanded service portfolio Essemtec distinguishes itself as a supplier of complete solutions in the area of flexible production systems for the electronics industry. The company designs, builds and supports equipment for every step in the board assembly arena since 1991. For example, these are paste printers, dispensers, placement machines and soldering machines. Manual, semi-automated and fully automated equipment is available. The product portfolio also includes transport and storage systems, as well as software solutions for planning, simulation, optimization and documentation of the production processes.
All Essemtec equipment is optimized for maximum flexibility. The user has the capability to quickly changeover from one product to the other on the shop floor while simultaneously using the manufacturing capacity to its maximum.

Disney shortened the length of the Country Bear Jamboree in October 2012. (Orlando Sentinel / February 5, 2013) |
Now that the grousing (or is that growling) about the Country Bear Jamboree changes at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom have died down, I thought I'd pay the old attraction a visit with a clear head.
Back in October, Disney shortened the show by 5 minutes — it now runs about 11 minutes — removing character dialogue and some songs.
Frankly, I don't really miss the songs that were eliminated — "Pretty Little Devilish Mary" and "Fractured Folk Song."
And it's nice to see the bears looking snazzier than they have in years.
To me, the strangest thing was how some of the technical happenings weren't changed to match the new show length.
Max, Buff, and Melvin — that's the buck, bison and moose heads hanging on the wall — don't talk as much as they used to, yet their mouths move. (Perhaps we are meant to think they are whispering.)
"All the Guys That Turn Me On Turn Me Down" has been shortened by a refrain — but the projections behind the trio of Bunny, Bubbles and Beulah still run the length of the original song.
And I still don't think the sound is as crisp in that attraction as others.
But the corny, old-school integrity of the show is still there. And with a shorter duration, it becomes more enjoyable for even younger children — who can still be wowed by the sight of a crew of animatronic bears.

Excellent Halloween Costume!
By Mom of Two
from Washington, DC
About Me Adventurous, Mom of two, Trendy
Comments about Franklin Sports NFL Football Player Costume with Helmet Saints MD 7-10 yrs.:
This outfit was the talk of the whole Halloween trip. I read some comments saying the numbers would fall off and so forth, but I had no problem with that. I actually bought it for my 10 year old son who is average for his height and wears usually a size boys 7 or 8 in Junior clothes so I bought him the size I thought would fit. The outfit fit perfectly even the helmet and now he has his favorite team jersey with his name on the back. I was very pleased with this purchased.

About Me Adventurous, Classic
My son looked great for Halloween!!!!!!!! He was excited about being a football player. The costume gave him enough room to grow into it and even though he wasn't a Chicago Bear being a New Orleans Saint was just as great.
Great Quality for the Price!

Beware Name Won't Last after one wash!
By Hollywood
from Pittsburgh, PA
About Me Trendy
Beware, the personaliztion will not last. Mine came off after one wash. The numbers are still fine. One Step Ahead should consider using the same material they use for the numbers and send letters to us as well and let us iron them on ourselves. The name only lasting after one use was quite dissapointing. Not the best quality clothing but my son loves it. Nice helmet. You can easily put warmer clothes underneath if necessary. I added a pair of black soccer socks to the uniform, looked great. All in all still somwhat satisfied with the purchase. A little pricey for the name to come off so easily and for the not great quality clothing. Still cute and would recommend.
Great quality & cute costume!

About Me Conservative
I chose this costume because it can be worn for more than just Halloween. My son wears the shirt while we watch our favorite team's game.I also plan on keeping the helmet and using it as decoration in his room.Some cons are that it runs small. My son is 2 and I bought a size 4-6. It is only slightly big on him. Also it took three times for them to get the personalization correct. Customer service was great in dealing with the issue. I ordered this costume very early to time was not an issue.
He loved it!!!

My son absolutely loves his 'Cowboy' football uniform and helmet. He wore it for trick/treating and wears his jersey as often as he can.
Reviews were right on!
By Proud Mama
from Salinas, Ca.
I loved the football uniform on my lil' guy! It is very, very cute. It came personalized and looked great but after he wore it on Halloween, his name is already peeling off. I kinda of expected it to because of all of the reviews that I had read before ordering. The numbers that come with it and that you iron look like they will stay forever. Too bad the letters for the name weren't the same. Other than that, it is perfect! My 3 year old thinks it's fun to wear and looks so cute in it! He doesn't like wearing the plastic shoulder pads thou but it looks cute even without them.

Great quality on the helmet and jersey but the personalization came off after one use. The pants also ripped after one use. A little disappointed but my son loved it!
Very cute costume!

Best football costume I could find for my son. Looks cute and he loves the helmut!
Just what I was looking for
By Mamaw
from Fairfield, PA
Perfect for my 3 yr old grandson who is a HUGE Steeler fan. He already has Steeler shirts and pants but no helmet. The 4-7 size shirt and pants just fits him and helmet a bit big but I'm glad. He will grow into it but he loves to wear it anyway. Basically you're paying for the helmet. A bit pricy but my grandson is worth it.

OTTAWA, Feb. 22, 2013 /CNW/ - The issue:
Two unauthorized health products "18 Again" and "Stiff 4 Hours" were tested by Health Canada and were found to contain hidden ingredients (sildenafil or tadalafil) that may pose serious risks to the health of Canadians. The products were being sold at the Unchained Romance booth at the 12th Annual Vancouver Taboo Sex Show.
These products are promoted as male sexual stimulants and contain hidden prescription medications. Approved drugs that contain them can only be sold with a prescription and by a pharmacy. The purchase of such products elsewhere can put your health at serious risk.
Who is affected:
Canadians who have purchased or used these products, particularly people with heart problems.
What Health Canada is doing:
Health Canada is testing additional unauthorized products from Unchained Romance and should these products pose similar risks to health, Canadians will be informed. Health Canada is also working with the Canada Border Services Agency to stop any shipments of "18 Again" and "Stiff 4 Hours" from entering Canada.
Sildenafil and tadalafil are prescription medications that should only be used under the supervision of a health care practitioner. Products containing sildenafil or tadalafil should never be used by individuals taking any kind of nitrate drug (e.g. nitroglycerine) as they can cause potentially life-threatening low blood pressure.
Individuals with heart problems including high blood pressure, a history of heart attack, stroke, abnormal heart beat or chest pain are at higher risk of cardiovascular side-effects if they engage in sexual activity, including if they use sildenafil or tadalafil to help them achieve an erection. Other possible side-effects of using sildenafil or tadalafil include headache, facial flushing, indigestion, dizziness, abnormal vision and hearing loss.
Products affected:

I counsel men and couples struggling with sexual addiction and/or with a variety of relational issues. It's great to be able to suggest to my clients and friends a magazine where men can be real and transparent without degrading or objectifying women with inappropriate pictures or in lewd articles. I give out the magazine to the other men in my clan for birthday presents or for Christmas. I deeply appreciate the articles from/about men of integrity who are willing to live and fight for their families and values.
I ordered this magazine as a gift and accidentally ordered a copy for myself. As a woman, I thought this would be something that I would pass on to another without reading it myself, but I glanced through the first issue and was pleased with many of the articles. Travel, adventure and exciting characters await.
For the money, this was a great deal. My first issue arrived with controversy as Mark Wahlberg was on the cover, making noise that he could have stopped 9/11 from ever happening. I was eager to read the magazine from cover to cover. My second issue came, looking very much like the first one, but I read some interesting articles and am eager to keep reading.
Men's Journal might be one of the most entertaining magazines that i receive. While most of the articles are geared towards the more... 'Adventurous' type, there's still plenty of content to keep the reader interested. The ads are also geared towards men. The occasional cologne or other manly item is sprinkled throughout the magazine but doesn't take up most of the pages within. Overall I recommend this magazine.

Tonal Stripe Cami
Item# 4987212
40% Off Your Purchase - Use code SUNSHINE
Excludes Perfect Tees & Ribbed Tanks
- Our famous seamless cami gets an update in tonal stripes
- Perfect to peak out under winter's warmest sweaters
- Nylon Spandex Blend
- Machine wash, gentle cycle.
- Imported
Not as bad as others say
True, this cami runs small (though I don't think any smaller than TL's regular seamless camis). But for the price, it fits my needs. I bought it to wear under some printed cardis that have navy in them, and it'll be perfect. Definitely wouldn't wear it alone unless you're a stick figure, but it's a decent layering piece.
May 13, 2013
Quite tight
I ordered the gray in medium. The color is attractive, and there was no fraying or loose threads on the one I got. However like everyone else; the size is too small!!!
I'm 5'6", 130lbs, and have worn a medium in Ltd tops sizes for the longest time. I'm suddenly finding the cami's are very tight. Perhaps going up to a large will help. The regular tops in medium are still loose on me, but beware the new sizing of the cami's.
April 11, 2013
Not that bad
Like all other LTD cami's, with this one, sizing up is a must (I generally wear Small cardigans, so I got a Medium cami). When I received mine, it was shredded on the inside, like a cat had scratched it up. There was no apparent damage to the outside, so I almost didn't notice. I bought this so I could wear it under blouses, and it would have been just fine if I had received one in mint condition. I'm not sure whether others expected this to be a tank top- it's a nylon spandex blend, and it's a cami. It's perfect to be worn under items, although admittedly it's not as long as some of my other LTD camis.
April 5, 2013
Not impressed
I wasn't happy with a section of the tonal stripes because they looked like the thread had been pulled from being folded. I didn't even get a chance to wear the top under the blouse I purchased it for.
March 15, 2013
Terribly clingy, runs very small.
This tank is made out of extremely stretchy fabric, but it is not flattering in the least. The tank clings in the oddest way. I tried a size up, and it was still too small. I gave up on it after that point.

Not that bad
It's really not that bad. I'm short (5'2") with a short torso so I really didn't mind the length. It is a bit sheer and I won't be able to wear it without a cardigan. The quality doesn't quite live up to other items I've gotten at The Limited, but I didn't think it was as bad as the other reviewers made it out to be.

Ran very small to size thin material not comfortable at all .

Cami is not worth a dime. DON'T BUY IT.
Usually the quality of the Limited is exceptional. That's why I shop at the Limited. Unfortunately, this item is horrible. It is see through so you couldn't wear it by itself. It runs really small. I usually wear a size small shirt. I ordered a medium and it was still way too snug. I kept it only because I needed it to wear under a sweater. It was cheap and no one would see it except for the front middle. So, I wore it. Then I discovered that it snags so easily that the inside of the cami is strings after one wear because my pants, which were regular pants I've worn forever, snagged the inside of the cami. Totally ruined piece of clothing. It's a good think I got it on sale. I am so disappointed in The Limited for this.

Social Media
Facebook's Graph Search, explained by the angry and amused
Facebook's new "Graph Search" promises to let users sift through the network's vast trove of posts and photos to produce more helpful results. But not everyone on social media was excited about the new search tool, which (again!) raises privacy concerns. Here's a sampling of the conversation:
- 1.) Which of my employees has life threatening illness, such as cancer or HIV ? 2.) Which of my employees has been arrested on drug or alcohol related charges ? 3.) Which of my employees has sexual orientations I do not like or approve of ? 4.) Which of my employees has been involved in a lawsuit ? 5.) Etc., etc., etc, .....
- The following tweet referenced the recent episode in which the sister of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg berated a friend for sharing a family photo she had thought was posted privately. Yes, some people are still baffled by Facebook's privacy policies.
- I thought Facebook's big announcement was: Randi Zukerburg figured out their privacy policies #facebooksearchideas
- Ok, Mr. Zuckerberg, hope this new GRAPH SEARCH application is going to be easy to use and less tedious; I have so little patience and tolerance for these constant changes to FB....just make it easy and fast please for older Americans like myself, well I am not that old, but older than you are! Ok, now I am done venting! Take care people!
- Anybody out there friends with Alycia? You may want to set a few boundaries.
- It's not all bad news. Some users, using the hashtag #facebooksearchideas, pointed out the fun we might have with Graph Search.
- "long, politically charged status updates with spelling errors" #facebooksearchideas
- People I know who can't tell the difference between their and there #facebooksearchideas
- people from high school with babies. oh wait, that's already my entire newsfeed. #facebooksearchideas
- "pictures of me where people commented LOL please unfriend" #facebooksearchideas
- "Girl who likes Dr. Weintraub on W 86th Street, Equinox on Broadway. Saw her also at the AA meeting on Amsterdam once" #facebooksearchideas
- "Photos of friends trying to look like they're having fun while apple picking" #facebooksearchideas
- Still, haters are gonna hate.

Hi everyone!
I just had a question regarding the Softee Chunky - Jacket with Options by Bernat. I have been working on the project in my spare time between the KAL clues and I just finished sewing all of the pieces together and I was just wondering if you all had any suggestions on whether or not I should wash the whole sweater once before I sew on the zipper.

The Fair Forest Chapter, NSDAR, met January 8 in the Union County Museum meeting room.
Regent Margaret McCarley called the meeting to order. Jane Owenby read the Devotional, "Priorities for the New Year," from Open Windows. Chairman Amy Bruce led the chapter in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the U.S., the American's Creed, the Salute to the Flag of S.C., and the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner.
Chairman Martha Whitener read the General's Message, "The Army Will Remain Capable Through a Draw Down." Secretary Mrs. Bruce read the minutes of the previous meeting.
The program, "Women Soldiers in the American Revolution," was presented by Martha Whitener. Since there were no physical exams, a handful of women, especially rural women whose hands and face showed a life of physical outdoor labor, were able to sneak into the ranks and were accepted as equals because of their fighting ability. Many female soldiers who survived the war, and never discovered, are untraceable because they didn't seek government pensions after the war.
The next meeting, February 5, wil be held in the Union County Museum meeting room. Director Ben Loftis, Union County Carnegie Library, will present the program, "Family Search and Family History."

The Separation of Yin and Yang - Part One
Volume 3 Issue 2 - Summer 2008
by Ross Rosen and Brandt Stickley
by Ross Rosen and Brandt Stickley
In Traditional Chinese Medicine we learn the theories of yin and yang and the relationships between the two: (1) opposition: that all things have two aspects; (2) interdependence: yin and yang create each other; (3) mutual consumption: yin and yang control each other; (4) inter-transformation: yin and yang transform into each other. These relationships can arise in health and in illness when Yin and Yang have been left in an unbalanced state for a period of time. However, when the balance is impaired for a long enough time another possibility occurs: the loss of relationship between Yin and Yang, and their separation. It is this process and stage that is often poorly understood.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said in a statement from spokeswoman Debra DeShong Reed that the "NRA leadership and their lobbyists are out of touch with their own members.
"We believe it is absolutely possible to have sensible gun laws to curb the epidemic of gun violence in our country while respecting the 2nd Amendment. Clearly so do most members of the NRA and the leadership should listen to their own members," she wrote in a statement.
LaPierre also blamed the media, certain lawmakers and high-profile figures, such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, for making Americans "feel guilty about buying a gun."
"The enemies of freedom demonize gun buyers and portray us as social lepers," he added.
Concluding his op-ed, LaPierre vowed that NRA members "will not surrender."
"We will not appease. We will buy more guns than ever. We will use them for sport and lawful self-defense more than ever. We will grow the NRA more than ever. And we will be prouder than ever to be freedom-loving NRA patriots," he wrote. "We will Stand and Fight."

Considerações urgentes
Consulte Diagnóstico diferencial para obter mais detalhes
Chronic cough as a sole symptom typically lasts for months or years before presentation and does not usually represent an urgent medical condition. A faster and more comprehensive evaluation (rather than empirical treatment) should take place if other symptoms are present (such as dyspnoea, haemoptysis, weight loss, fever, or chest pain) or if the patient has concurrent depression of the local, humoral, or cellular components of the immune system due to neutropenia, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or use of glucocorticoids, chemotherapy, or anti-rejection medications.
Lung carcinoma
Cough is the most common symptom of lung cancer. Lung cancer enters the differential diagnosis especially if cough is accompanied by weight loss, haemoptysis, chest pain, dyspnoea, or hoarseness and is more likely in current or prior smokers. Diagnosis is confirmed by radiography and pathology, and treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
Chronic cough accompanied by episodic dyspnoea and wheezing that worsens at night, on exposure to allergens, cold, or fumes, may indicate asthma. Diagnosis is based on the above symptoms, clinical findings of bronchoconstriction, with obstructive pattern of pulmonary function tests. Treatment relies on use of bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory agents.
May follow a prodrome of chronic cough and, in that instance, is typically manifested with a change in the character of cough, appearance of sputum purulence, and fever. Less commonly, haemoptysis, chest pain, or dyspnoea may be present. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings of lung consolidation, along with radiographic findings of an infiltrate. Treatment consists of antibiotics.
Chronic cough accompanied by night sweats and weight loss may indicate tuberculosis, especially in a patient living in or visiting an area with high prevalence of this disease. Tuberculosis is typically accompanied by radiographic infiltrative, fibrotic, or cavernating changes and confirmed by demonstration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli in sputum.
Bordetella pertussis infection
Paroxysmal cough, inspiratory whooping, and post-tussive vomiting raise a possibility of B pertussis infection. Diagnosis is suspected in household contacts of whooping cough and confirmed with microbiological or serological testing. B pertussis infection is treated with beta-lactam, fluoroquinolone, or macrolide antibiotics.
Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis
Cough accompanied by progressive dyspnoea may indicate the presence of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. Diagnosis is further suspected with signs of dry crackles and clubbing and confirmed clinically or pathologically. Radiography shows a plethora of interstitial changes, and pulmonary function testing typically demonstrates a restrictive pattern. Treatment depends on the specific clinical and pathological pattern of disease.

Achilles tendonitis, highly recommend
By KAREN
from INDIANAPOLIS, IN.
About Me Gym Rat
Highly recomend. I have Achilles tendonitis. At the time I discovered this item, heal cups/wedges were not enough to allow the tendon to heal. This brace has compression in the right places to allow the tendon to rest and heal. I now have very little pain/inflammation/swelling. I use for work where I constently walk on concrete floors and when I excercise. Before purchasing this item, I could barely walk and now using the brace I have little irritation at all. I can now function in my everyday activities.

Real relief after years of pain
By LA
from Allentown, PA
About Me Conditioning Exerciser
Tore my achilles & other tendons/ligaments 6 yrs. ago. Haven't been able to walk pain-free since. Frequent swelling. Saw this brace recommended at [@]. It's been amazing! The key is the heel lift. Now I can even walk stairs without hurting. (It comes with a 2nd heel lift for your other foot to prevent leg elongation. Very nice.) The other help is the pads along the achilles - the compression keeps the swelling down and creates a massage effect that helps blood flow. It's soothing. Be careful of size though. If you're on the upper end of the size range, you might want the next bigger size. That's because of the only flaw: the design has a thick elastic band with two seams that crosses another thick seam that runs along the front of the brace. This creates a pressure point along the top of your foot where your ankle meets your leg. I had to order the next size up because of the discomfort - and I was at about 2/3" from the upper maximum. Measure carefully! Otherwise, this brace has been like a miracle. Highly recommend!

How's everyone doing? Make your playoffs? Liking your odds? Gonna make some money?
I'm in the final four of my three leagues, and it took some damned luck to do that.
As usual dominating the regular season in the erfishul LT FFL and earned the #1 seed in the playoffs ... I am sure that I am destined to lose to Bounce again though despite having the best team all season
Hey guys which TE do I play this week(non-ppr league fwiw)?
Jason Witten(6.8 PPG), DAL vs Steelers(1st vs TEs this season)
Kyle Rudolph(6.6 PPG), MIN @ Rams(17th vs TEs this season)
Tough one. With Harvin out Rudolph should get lots of targets. Witten is much more consistent scorer tho. Rudolph has dropped off a couple zeros during the year, including last week vs Chi where TEs score a lot. The only thing keeping them close is KRs 8 TDs to Witten's 1. I'd probably go Witten unless you are an underdog in your matchup.

I'm #1 seed. Got a first round bye and I'm projected to win by 26 points in my first game this week. Matchups look great. I'm seriously thinking about benching Chicago's defense against Green Bay for Minnesota's defense against the Rams. Just see more upside.
After starting 0-3 and almost blowing up my team by trading Brady and Shady (kept them instead) I went 9-2 the rest of the way. 2nd seed in the playoffs which start this week.
My playoffs just started a few minutes ago and I've gone wire to wire #1. Maclin lost a fumble on his first touch but the Law Firm had a solid first drive ending with a TD.
I'm benching the Bears D in favor of the Lions D (at Arizona) who I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Also starting on my team of badasses are Ryan, Foster, Nicks, Jimmy Graham, Matt Bryant and LB LaVonte David.
Good luck to all.

The worst 2 of my 4 teams made the playoffs... Weird year... I'm in the championship in one league for the third season in a row, and it looks like I'm gonna get my **** kicked.
For the third year in a row.
Don't feel bad. I've never won a championship. The last seven years in my league I've either finished 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. This is the first year I'm not the commissioner, and I've been destroying people. I also changed my team name that I used forever. Something had to give. Tired of being a bridesmaid.

Most points in two of my three leagues, didn't win the regular season in either. Got knocked out in one of those in the first round by the Seahawks defense and looks like I'm going to get knocked out in the second round of the other by the Bengals defense. Ridiculous luck.
My opponent has RGIII and I snagged Kirk Cousins off waivers last Sunday.
Guess who will be rotting on my bench today? Also I'm a 54 point favorite.
Loving it!

I am a 4 seed, playing the 1 seed this week. But my team has been solid the last 4 weeks or so. I am liking my odds. Already beat the kid who had been the best team for the majority of the season, his team fell off the last 3 weeks, and I got him last week. Gonna be an interesting day.
Dammit. I finally decided to play denario Alexander and it flipping bites me in the ****. Goose eggs
Okay I need 6+ points from a kicker on MNF to advance to the finals in my league lol

Yea there really is no argument based on facts that points to one guy being dramatically more likely than the other to hit the 6+ points that I need ... With that said I just cannot bring myself to put my season in the hands of Sanchize and the Jets offense lol ... Also I could envision the Jets offense being shutout on the road easier than I could see the Titans getting shutout @ home
So Bironas it is....
Anyways I am positive it will end up being the incorrect choice lol (knocks on wood)
Honestly if I had not out smarted myself and played the Texans D like I had for every other week this season(w/the exception of their bye obviously) I would have won the match-up comfortably. Instead I went with the Pats D hopefully it doesn't cost me my season
I got knocked out.l Flipping Stafford had his worst outing of the season, only putting up 13 points. Killed me at the absolute wrong time. Everyone else put up typical numbers. Even Calvin Johnson getting 18, which is technically light for him, but respectful. But Stafford killed me.. On to next year.
**** me ... I deserve to lose lol
well done Soup ... My team was not so lucky even though we did have similar Running Backs IIRC ... Anyhow Good Luck in your SuperBowl
Irish got the bad luck this last week. Seriously his worst team performance of the year, and it had to come in the second week of a playoff.

Made the finals in my two pay leagues. Looking at at least $175 in one, and I can't remember what 2nd place was in the other, probably about $300.
Thanks. He's got a stout team for sure. I can only hope Washington realizes they don't need RGIII to beat the Eagles and let him rest. I have no hope for AD, because I hope he does well. As for his other players I would be okay if they all got the flu this weekend, and next.
My team really struggled down the stretch of the season, but seem to not do too bad last week. I still didn't even score 100 either week, which I think is my general benchmark of what I would like to see every week.
I'm in 2 regular leagues and on dynasty league. Finished last in one regular league and I am currently in the champ game in the other two and leading. It's the Shiva Bowl ****es!
As with last year, my stars screw me until I'm eliminated, and then beat the world for four weeks straight. WTF.
Fantasy league champions!!!
Bears D got me 30 points and I won by five! Defense wins championships!
***I didn't even draft them on purpose. Time ran out on me in the 8th round and the computer auto drafted them. Lol.

Weird that so many are ending this week
Only ****tards and idiots have their fantasy championship in week 17 man...
Are you serious?
You're drafting at the start of the season only so you can scramble to replace Arian Foster with Justin Forsett or Matt Ryan with (fill in his backups name here).
Week 17 is the worst week of the NFL season. It's no time to have a fantasy championship.
We have our playoff from 14-16.
With the NFL going to divisional matchups in the latter part of the season is much much better. But having a week 17 championship completely ****s up your draft. Especially when playoff teams virtually use it as a bye week. And smart fantasy players only draft from playoff bound teams.
Won my big league. Got second in my second league by one damned point. Freeman's 4 INTs and/or Demarco's fumble cost me the trophy.
Won my champ game yesterday on NFL.com by 1.5 point. It was a low scoring week for both me and my opponent but hey I will take the win.
