By Rosalie Devonshire, M.S.W., and Julie Kelly, M.S., R.N.
Rosalie Devonshire, M.S.W., is a former teacher, FMS and CFIDS patient, who works clinically with individuals and families facing non-medical difficulties and provides stress management, biofeedback and psychotherapy treatment to those with physical illness. Julie Kelly, M.S., R.N., is a fibromyalgia nurse clinician at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She works with FM patients and their family members in a multidisciplinary treatment program and educates a variety of health professionals on the diagnosis and treatment of FM.
There are some physicians who have been treating Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) patients by using therapies which could be described as "experimental." We would like to share with you information from a few of the more widely recognized physicians performing this type of pioneering work, because we feel that this information should be freely accessible to all FMS sufferers. If you choose to try some of these therapies, you might have to find a physician in your area willing to accommodate you. Remember that trying a novel therapy should be done with extreme caution.
Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum is one physician performing pioneering work. He suffered from CFIDS and FMS [which he claims to have overcome] and knows firsthand how it affects someone. Dr. Teitelbaum uses various laboratory diagnostic tests to assess a number of problems he feels contribute to FMS and CFIDS. After he takes a complete history, he may treat you with some or all of the following: synthroid or armour thyroid to boost a low thyroid level, cortef for adrenal insufficiency, DHEA to boost DHEA levels, medications to treat neurally mediated hypotension which causes dizziness, oxytocin (a female hormone), estrogen and progesterone, various vitamins, antidepressants, herbals for sleep aids, anti-yeast treatments, stool parasite therapies, homeopathics and various other medications such as nitroglycerin, naphazoline hydrochloride (eye drops), calcium channel blockers, and others.
Dr. Teitelbaum's treatment program has benefited many patients and takes into account that FMS symptoms may be caused by a combination of factors. You may want to purchase his book (From Fatigued to Fantastic) and share it with your physician, who might be interested in trying some of the treatments he employs.
Dr. Jay Goldstein [retired in 2003] is another pioneering physician and researcher. He has treated FMS and CFIDS patients for over 15 years and has written a book geared for the physician called
Betrayal By the Brain: The Neurologic Basis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Related Neural Network Disorders
. There is a companion book written by a patient for patients, which is called
A Companion Volume to Dr. Jay A. Goldstein's Betrayal By the Brain
, by Katie Courmel.
His treatment protocol differs substantially from those who use medications to alleviate only specific symptoms, such as low serotonin levels. He believes FMS and CFIDS patients suffer from problems in the way their brains process sensory input from noise, lights, odors, pain, food, medications and chemicals. By a complex mechanism involving various brain chemicals, our brain interprets information it receives from our environment, filters out appropriate and inappropriate information, and tells our body how to handle the input. Dr. Goldstein feels our brains are misinterpreting the information, resulting in an amplification of pain signals, odors, and other sensations. Just going to the local mall bombards our senses with so much stimuli it can prove exhausting. This "wears" out the brain and can cause the cognitive problems many patients experience.
Dr. Goldstein believes FMS and CFIDS patients have a genetic predisposition for developing these syndromes. Developmental issues, in which one feels unsafe for a period of time causing a hypervigilant attitude, can change the way the brain responds to stimulus; exposure to viruses, severe emotional stress and exposure to environmental stressors, are all factors in the development of these syndromes.
Some people may be particularly strong in their genetic predisposition and will develop these syndromes no matter what their stressors may be, while others need a variety of these stressors to occur before they will develop FMS or CFIDS. Dr. Goldstein treated his patients in a very different manner than other physicians. [Editor's note: To read more about Dr. Goldstein's treatment protocol, visit http://www.ImmuneSupport.com/library/showarticle.cfm/ID/4351.] You will note that he used a variety of medications. Once again, your own physician might be interested in trying his treatment protocol.
Specific Treatments
Oxytocin – DHEA – Nitroglycerin
Another therapy that has proven beneficial to some patients in conjunction with other treatments described is that used by Jorge Flechas, M.D., Jay Goldstein, M.D., and Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. DHEA levels are found to be low in FMS patients. By carefully listening to his patients' complaints, Dr. Flechas decided that the hormone oxytocin, along with DHEA supplementation, might help alleviate some of his patients' symptoms. He first runs a blood test to determine baseline DHEA levels, then adds supplements to bring levels up to what they should be naturally around age 30 (150-200 mcg/dl); 25-30 mg of DHEA is recommended, either in capsule form or cream. Dosages and duration of usage should be determined by a physician. Checking estrogen and testosterone levels is also recommended.
Once your DHEA is up to optimal levels, Dr. Flechas puts his patients on a 10 ml injection of oxytocin. Oftentimes patients will notice a flushed feeling in their hands or face immediately after the injection, which may or may not last for more than a few minutes. Positive effects will take approximately two weeks. Dr. Flechas recommends taking supplements of choline and inositol to increase the effectiveness of the oxytocin. Nitroglycerin is another medication he adds to his regime to enhance pain relief. Patients who benefit from this treatment often have cold hands and feet and are pale. Daily injections of oxytocin can be given, or there is a capsule available from pharmacies. Dr. Goldstein believes injections are more effective.
Not much has been written about oxytocin in the medical literature, but it is known to have a role in inducing labor in pregnant women, facilitating the let-down response in lactating women, and regulating blood circulation in the small vessels of the body. This hormone works within a complex network of other chemicals in our bodies that have been found to be dysregulated, such as neuropeptide Y, corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), thyroid hormone, estrogen, DHEA, and others. Two potential side effects are weight gain and water retention. No studies have been performed on this hormone treatment as of yet [2001], but will hopefully be forthcoming.
Atenol – Florinef – Increase Salt and Water Intake for Neurally Mediated Hypotension
If you are troubled by dizziness and/or fainting spells, you might want to speak to your physician about the possibility of having a cardiologist perform a tilt-table test. During the test you are strapped to a table and turned 70 degrees so that your legs are close to the floor but do not touch it. Normally, when you get up from a sitting position your brain signals your blood pressure to perform properly when your feet touch the ground. Researchers have found that CFIDS patients and some FMS patients have a dysfunction in the regulation of this system and their blood pressure drops significantly, causing improper blood flow to the brain.
This dysfunction can lead to feelings of fatigue and other symptoms associated with CFIDS/FMS. These tests were originally performed by Johns Hopkins University researchers and replicated by Daniel Clauw, M.D. A natural treatment for this problem consists of increasing salt intake and drinking lots of water. Some physicians prescribe atenolol (Tenormin), a beta blocker, or Florinef (fludrocortisone), an adrenal steroid. These drugs do have side effects which your physician should make you aware of.
You could have this condition even if you do not have low blood pressure or a history of fainting or dizziness. This treatment is well worth pursuing and might be a good addition to your overall program.
Intravenous Ketamine
One study using intravenous morphine, lidocaine and ketamine showed that ketamine proved to be the most effective in reducing pain levels. Morphine, an opioid, did not help at all in this study; lidocaine, an anesthetic used in trigger point injections, was somewhat helpful; and ketamine, an NMDA pain receptor antagonist, decreased pain and had a longer lasting effect than the others. With its promising results, this study could help lead researchers to other drugs which affect the NMDA receptors and possibly help alleviate pain for FMS patients.
Anti-Yeast Treatments
Some physicians and holistic practitioners believe there is an underlying yeast problem contributing to FMS/CFIDS symptoms. The most common yeast, Candida albicans, is thought to be the culprit. Finding a physician to treat yeast problems can be difficult, however. Many holistic doctors treat for Candida, as do many nutritionists and Chinese medicine doctors. Nutritionists cannot prescribe anti-fungal medications but will use various herbs and vitamin supplements as well as suggest changes in diet to help alleviate yeast overgrowth. Some physicians, such as Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., use both to rid patients of yeast overgrowth.
Our bodies naturally have yeast living in harmony with friendly bacteria inside our bodies. Yeast are there to help our bodies in various ways, but sometimes the yeast overpower the "good bacteria" and cause a yeast invasion. This can occur after repeated courses of antibiotics. Yeast also thrive on sugar and yeast-laden foods such as cheese, bread, and wine. Giving up sugar and all sugar-containing products, including corn syrup, jelly and honey, is one recommendation for controlling a Candida overgrowth. Some practitioners recommend giving up all yeast-containing foods such as cheese, beer, wine, and bread. Others feel that giving up sugar alone is sufficient. Your body will most likely go through a withdrawal period in the first seven to ten days of a diet like this; you may even feel worse as the yeast die off because their source of "food" has been removed.
Many people are amazed how their craving for sugar decreases if they can abstain from it for just ten days. Believe it or not, you may not even want sugar anymore! It is also recommended to replace the friendly bacteria that have been lost, by taking acidophilus supplements or eating plain yogurt (without sugar) which contains live acidophilus cultures.
It is very important to read labels on all foods you buy if you choose to eliminate sugar. Many foods we buy today include sugar disguised as high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, and maltose. Many cereals are loaded with sugar, as are some breads. Shopping in a health food store or buying bread from a bread maker who only uses stone ground grains and adds no sugars is advised. Some grocery store chains are offering more sugar-free selections as consumers are becoming more health conscious. Remember, just because a label states "all natural" or "no artificial ingredients" does not mean the product hasn't been sweetened with fruit juices, which you may need to avoid, too. You may need six to twelve months on this diet to take care of the yeast overgrowth. That may sound like a long time, but it can be well worth the trouble if you feel better in the future.
Laboratory tests for detecting yeast overgrowth are not thought to be conclusive, so many practitioners use symptoms and questionnaires to determine whether or not the problems you are having are yeast related. Your physician can prescribe anti-fungal medications for you (commonly used to treat fungal overgrowth) including Diflucan, Sporanex, and Nystatin. The late William Crook, M.D., has written two books on yeast problems and treatments.
Biofeedback and EEG Treatment
Stuart Donaldson, Ph.D., of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has been treating patients with a combination of biofeedback and EEG brain wave therapy, which uses no drugs and has shown to be helpful in reducing symptoms.
Balancing Dopamine and Serotonin
Daniel G. Malone, M.D., a rheumatologist at the University of Wisconsin, has been treating FMS patients with a combination of dopaminergic and serotonergic drugs including L-dopa, 5-HTP, Fenfluramine, Pemoline and phentermine. He found statistical improvement in 76 patients out of 122 using this protocol. Unfortunately, two of the medications he had been using, Fenfluramine and phentermine, have been withdrawn from the market because of serious heart-valve complications found in some patients who were taking these medications for weight loss.
Important Note
We [the authors of this article] believe these novel treatments are exciting to report because they add to the possibilities of treatments for improving your symptoms. Your physician may not know about all of these therapies, so it might be up to you to educate them. Dispensing this information to all physicians involved in FMS and CFIDS patients is important in providing helpful treatment. Because these treatments are so new, it is not known whether they are most beneficial when prescribed singly or in conjunction with other treatments. These treatments have not been subjected to [rigorous clinical] research as of yet [2001], and using them could be risky for you. It might be something you could look into, however, if the other, more researched treatments available have been tried and you still do not feel better. Many physicians feel a multidisciplinary treatment approach is necessary to control FMS [and CFIDS], which means using all, many, or some of the treatment options described in this book. At this time, we have more treatment options to choose from than we did a few years ago.

Once More and Again
Posted by: tjcoop3

It should not surprise me but, nevertheless does, that the fibro/cfs online community of treatment professionals refuse to acknowledge the research being done around the world with cannabis.
The subjective testimonies as well as the research is proving phenomenal results in mitigating symptoms for people who suffer.
Yet, because of a bunch of old men who sit in the towers in state capitols and in Washington, D.C. suffering is irrelevant.
Ample evidence has now shown that there are no long term side effects from using cannabis when used properly with a vaporizer or as an essential oil.
Why is this ignored by your sight? Why no mention? Could one not place a warning that one can not currently recommend cannabis as it is illegal but that folks should contact their legislators or groups trying to change the laws for medically needy folk?
Or are you folks just as brainwashed as most of the 49% of the public that still thinks cannabis should be illegal? If one cares that one should care no matter whether it is politically correct.
Where do you stand or do you prefer to sit and let people continue to suffer because of your blessed reputations?

NEW YORK & RIO DE JANEIRO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OLX, the most popular online classifieds site in fast-growing markets around the world, today announced the opening of new kiosks in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where buyers and sellers can meet to securely and publicly exchange goods. OLX has 123 million unique monthly visitors in 107 countries worldwide, including Brazil.
OLX allows users to easily buy and sell used goods and services such as electronics, furniture, household items, cars and bikes through its localized, consumer-to-consumer online marketplace. The new kiosks, situated around the city in locations like the bustling Carioca subway station, are part of OLX's innovative efforts to help users in Brazil comfortably transfer goods between one another.
"As the online classifieds marketplace continues to grow, we want to make sure our users realize that there are multiple simple, secure ways to complete their transactions," said Alec Oxenford, co-founder and CEO of OLX. "These kiosks serve as a great place to bring together our vast network of buyers and sellers in Brazil, and educate the public about the benefits of the used goods economy."
The OLX kiosks will serve as convenient public venues for consumers to exchange items in Brazil, where the concept of buying and selling used goods is unfamiliar to many. Rather than arranging to meet at an arbitrary location, users have the option to gather and conduct their transactions at the designated kiosks, which are located in popular, high-traffic areas. In addition to providing a central meeting place, the kiosks also offer tips for users buying and selling used goods on OLX.
Until recently, there was little demand for a used good marketplace in Brazil. In the last few years, however, the country has seen a dramatic increase in the use of classifieds. According to comScore, usage has risen 450 percent in the last year alone.
OLX has quickly become the dominant online classifieds player in emerging markets around the world, including Brazil, where it enjoys a majority of market share, widespread recognition, and has more than 4.9 million Facebook fans. OLX's presence in Brazil continues to expand; the company has seen a 200 percent increase there in new daily listings year on year, more than any other classifieds service in Brazil.
About OLX
OLX offers a free, fast and hyper-local way for people to buy, sell or exchange used goods and services, by simply posting a free ad on the website. Every month, millions of people around the world buy and sell a wide range of products including household items, furniture, consumer durables, musical instruments, cars & motorcycles, electronics & mobiles, property and local services on OLX.

Eunice Ingham discovered that pressure applied to specific reflex points on the feet could help to relieve pain. She went on to publish her findings in two well-known books, "Stories the feet can tell"(1938) and "Stories the feet have told"(1963). Eunice Ingham gave reflexology a new face. Her theories are still studied today and form much of the basis of reflexology. She later became recognized as "The father of Modern Reflexology". |

When you live in the problem, you only know the problem. When you live in the solution, you start to free yourself from the problem.
911Truthers have the problem being lied to by a government that committed murder most foul. And they know this problem intimately - 9/11 Google Search . But what they seem to avoid most earnestly is the solution, which results in their continued entrapment in the 9/11 problem and inability to free themselves.
"How much longer must we endure NIST's cover-up of how Building 7 was actually destroyed? Millions of Americans, including the 230+ architects and engineers and 600 others of AE911Truth.org, demand that NIST come clean with a full-throttle, fully resourced and transparent forensic investigation of the evidence of the controlled demolition of Building 7," - http://www.ae911truth.org/info/24 .
If Mr. Gage is being honest to himself and the Movement, then he must surely realize that this is not a solution but a mandate. By his wording alone, Mr. Gage has abandoned any notion of appealing to the scientific method in arriving at a solution. Instead, he's formed the solution and requires that the NIST Committee warp the available evidence and data to match his solution.
Ironically, these are the same acts Mr. Gage accuses the members of doing with respect to the "Official Conspiracy Theory". Mr. Gage postulates in regard to the alleged presence of molten steel at the bottom of the WTC debris piles, "NIST left all of this crucial forensic evidence out of its report. Why? Because it didn't fit in with the official conspiracy theory." To further admonish but "instruct" (a/k/a mandate) the NIST Committee, he chides, "Because NIST seems to have forgotten or neglected to apply key features of the scientific method, I am including as an attachment to this submission Steven E. Jones, 'Revisiting 9/11/2001 -- Applying the Scientific Method'..."
Here's how it appears, though, that Truthers avoid the solution and are far more comfortable living in the problem. By applying the mandate that the WTC 7 collapse was due solely to a controlled demolition, Mr. Gage establishes a wholly unrealistic expectation that NIST (in all likelihood) will not be able to meet. Therefore, regardless of whatever the NIST Committee publishes on WTC 7, it's almost certain that it will be unacceptable to the Truthers and only serve as further "proof" that the problem of being lied to continues to exist unabated.
The true solution that would permit the Truthers to free themselves of the problem is to ensure that NIST does follow the scientific method and that its conclusions incorporate the same approach. If competing theories remain between NIST and the Truthers, then an honest approach by both parties that adheres to the Law of Parsimony should be agreed upon for resolution. Prior to the approach, both parties must also agree to honor the outcome of the comparison. Once committed, the problem may be left behind and work on the solution commence.
Until this occurs and Truthers begin to focus more on probabilities rather than mandates, the Movement will remain in the problem that seems, now-a-days anyway, to only result in divisions and in-fighting - click here .
Note: For the record, I believe the NIST NCSTAR 1 on WTC 1 and 2 was well-thought and organized. With this in mind, I may be construted as someone who supports the "Official Conspiracy Theory".

6. Carl Grimes Gets A Girlfriend – At the New York Comic Con, Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl Grimes, strongly hinted that there could be romance in his character's future. Chandler suggested that 13 year old Carl might have his eyes set on a older woman, 16 year old Beth Greene.
5. Rick Grimes Loses His Hand – In the comic book, Rick Grimes loses his hand. Even though Robert Kirkman has said that not everything that happens in the comic book will wind up happening on TV, it's still always a possibility. We actually doubt this one will happen, since Merle has already lost his hand, so it would be a real shock if it did.
4. The Governor's Niece Is Shown – In the comic books, The Governor had a niece named Penny, who was killed and returned as a zombie. The Governor kept Penny leashed up in his apartment. Producer Glenn Mazzara has hinted that key moments in regards to The Governor in comic books would be adapted to TV.
3. Lori Grimes Has Her Baby – From The Walking Dead season 3 previews, it looks like Lori Grimes is much further along in her pregnancy. It's probably a pretty good bet that at least one episode of season 3 will deal with Lori actually having her baby. Will it occur early in the season or will it be something saved for the finale?
2. Carl Grimes Becomes A Killing Machine – At New York Comic Con, Chandler Riggs and other cast members confirmed that viewers will be seeing a much different Carl Grimes this season. Previews for season 3 have also shows an armed Carl Grimes ready to gun down zombies.
1. A Major Character Dies – With The Walking Dead producers already claiming no one is safe, it's very likely that one or more major characters will die during the course of the series. Who will it be? Likely suspects would range from Lori Grimes to Glen.

Manolo for the Big Girl
Manolo says, if you are looking for some quality blogging entertainment–sassy, informative, amusing–the Manolo commends to you his Manolo for the Big Girl Blog where Miss Plumcake, Francesca, and Twistie provide for you the real goods. Trust the Manolo, you will not be disappointed.
Gomez, Morticia, and Two Wednesdays
Manolo says, not to be cruel, but "Gothic Homunculi" is not the best look for state photos.
P.S. The Manolo has shamelessly stolen the perfect title of this post from his internet friend Fausta.
Let it Be, Boris, Let it Be
Manolo says, literally everything about this video makes the Manolo inexplicably, wonderfully happy.
P.S. From the Manolo's internet friends at Boing Boing.
Tory Burch Velvet Bria Pump
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, do you know where your Tory Burch Velvet Bria Pumps are? On the feets or in the closet are the only acceptable answers.
By the way, it is the bamboo heel that makes this shoe more than the sum of its very charming parts.
The Shot of Rye
Manolo says, Mr. Henry discusses his drink of choice
Like a hero of the old west or an executive on Madison Avenue, these days Mr. Henry reaches for a shot of rye. He drinks rye on the rocks before dinner, rye on the rocks with a little water for Chinese food, and rye in a snifter after dinner. Having explored its qualities in the glass, he is moving on to explore its qualities as a flavor additive.
But, you must go read he whole thing.
Crocs vs Gators
Manolo says, once again, wearing cheap plastic feetwear almost results in death.
This past Monday, Diane was out house-hunting. She checked out a listing for a house that was interesting in part because it was close to a park. After looking at the house, Diane went over to the park to have a look at it, too. This was Sawgrass Lake Park in St. Petersburg, Florida, near I-275 and Gandy Boulevard. She took Ritka, our Vizsla, walking with her. Diane and Ritka were near the water's edge at about 4:30 PM when Diane saw the water churn. She immediately called to Ritka and started moving away from the water. Ritka's usual behavior is to run ahead, and that's just what Ritka did. Diane, though, slipped on the slope and fell to her hands and knees, perhaps in part due to the slip-on "Crocs"-like shoes she was wearing at the time. The churning water was, indeed, a sign of a gator making a lunge, coming out of the water. The gator didn't connect with anything on his first lunge, but he grabbed Diane's left calf with his second lunge.
Ayyyy! Crocs vs. Gators!!! And the Gator is in the process of winning. Happily, everything works out moderately okay in the end.
Lesson: Do not be food for the alligator. Do not wear Crocs.
P.S. Thanks to the Manolo's internet friend Carrie who writes: Not only will Crocs make you a victim of fashion, they will make you a victim of alligators. Which is funny because it is true!
Dolce & Gabbana For the Monday
Manolo says, it is Monday, and you are happily back as your desk doing whatever it is you do for the Man, having spent the final part of the weekend engaged in the big argument with your insensitive lout of the husband.
For years now you have been suggesting that you would like to remodel the basement, removing the knotty pine paneling, green shag carpeting, and that funky leather-clad wet bar, all of which were the handiwork of the previous owners. Of the course, Gary resisted your proposed changes for as long as he could. He has always considered the basement to be his own personal "Fortress of Gary-tude" (which is ridiculous as he already has the garage and the back shed reserved for his various man antics).
However, in August, he finally relented after making the disturbing discovery in the cushions of his sectional.
"Hey! Look what I found," he said, standing in the kitchen, beaming like Howard Carter and holding something dessicated and black.
"Ugh, what is it?"
"I think it's an Italian hero sandwich," And then he mimed bringing it up to his mouth, as if to take the big bite.
"Aaack! Don't do that!"
After you both agreed that it was probably the leftover from the Super Bowl party, circa 2003, you went to the kitchen drawer where you keep your remodeling dream plans and magazine clippings and pulled out your notes for the basement and handed them to Gary.
"For hygienic reasons, if nothing else," you said.
Gary just nodded his head, and got immediately to work ordering the new custom beer refrigerator and giant flat-screen television.
And everything had been going remarkably well, until this Saturday, when Gary did the final painting, and you were not there to supervise. You had to spend the day with your 80-year-old mother (the woman should not be driving, which means you are increasingly called upon to go shopping with her, which means lunch at Lubys, which you cannot stand).
So you left Gary with the specific instructions for the paint shopping at the Home Depot: Arabian Sand for three walls, and Sahara Sun (the pleasant light brick red) for the accent wall. But when you got home you found that he had somehow become confuddled and painted three of the walls Sahara Sand, and the fourth Arabian Sun (the wan orange).
And, when you pointed out this egregious error, Gary refused to make the changes.
"I'm done painting, Babe."
Things escalated from there, and by Sunday afternoon you were not speaking to each other, which seemed to suit Gary just fine, for while you were sulking, he had already moved in the foosball table, new furniture, and big screen television and taken delivery of the pony keg of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Happily, by late Sunday evening, Gary, bouyed by several pints of quality beer and the loss of the Pittsburgh Steelers, put the moves on you, and so you reconciled yourself to the new color scheme and your husband's mannish indifference to chromatic loveliness.
Still, you need something colorful to lift your spirits, and so you surf to the Manolo's humble shoe blog hoping to see beautiful shoes, and there you find these deep rose-colored Dolce & Gabbana pumps and you realize that life is pretty good.
Manolo the Columnist: Aden from Delman
Manolo says, here is the Manolo's latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.
Dear Manolo,
I'm a 20-something Brooklyn girl in search of the perfect leather boot. I need something that will be perfect from fall to spring, something that I can wear uptown to work, downtown to play, something that can stand up to miles and miles of walking around Manhattan without killing my feet. I'm back on my feet after a layoff and happier than ever, so I'd like to celebrate with an appropriately practical, classic, and useful purchase, and I need your help!
Manolo says, this heartfelt plea poses the serious philosophical question: is there such the thing as the perfect boot? Can one boot meet all of our many and varied boot-wearing needs?The Manolo must answer, no, there is no such thing as the Platonic perfect-for-the-every-occasion boot. This is why God invented the shoe closet, so that we may store our perfect-for-walking-around-Manhattan boots next to our perfect-for-working-uptown boots, while we are wearing our perfect-for-downtown-playing boots.
Happily, although ultimate perfection may be beyond the reach of mortals, there are still good, general purpose boots which will satisfy most of your day-to-day needs. Here is the Aden from Delman, one such low-heel, knee-high, classic that will serve many of your needs.
Proenza Schouler Harness Boot Makes the Manolo's Thinning Hair Stand on End
Manolo says, here is the Proenza Schouler's version of the classic, engineer harness boot. It is the handsome, downtown, tough-girl boot, the sort of thing for everyone who loves the American rocker aesthetic.
And then the Manolo looked at the price…Ayyyyyyyy!
Whose Shoes Wednesday…The Answer!
Manolo asked, whose shoes?
Manolo answers it is the Glenn Close!
Congratulations to the Manolo's internet friend Heather, who was the first person to correctly identify this elegant and talented personage of note.

Downgrade GPIO Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi (40pin to 26pin)
Share this Product
Oof - 1914 that you want to have work with some old kit or plate or breakout or something and it uses the classic 26-pinout. Very frustrating, it is...unless you have this ingenious 'downgrade' GPIO cable. It has a 40-pin socket on one end, but only the first 26 pins have a cable and the other end matches any sort of Cobbler or PermaPi or what-have-you.
Cable is 6" long, and pin #1 is marked with a white wire. This cable is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model A or B - It's for the B+ only!

Is inequality bad for business : a non-linear microeconomic model of wealth effects on self-employment
It is widely assumed that pervasive credit market failures mean that a person's current wealth is critical to whether or not that person can take up opportunities to start a new business. The authors show that inequality in wealth can be either good or bad for the level of entrepreneurship in an economy, depending on how diminishing returns to capital interact with borrowing constraints at the microeconomic level. They use nonparametric regression methods to study wealth effects on business start-ups among migrants returning to their home country, Tunisia. They include controls for heterogeneity, with specification tests for the nonseparable effects with wealth and for selection bias. There is no evidence of increasing returns at low wealth. The aggregate number of business start-ups is an increasing function of aggregate wealth but a decreasing function of wealth inequality. In other words, at any given mean, the higher the initial inequality of wealth, the lower the rate of new business start-ups, through the existence of diminshing returns to capital given liquidity constraints. In this sense, the results suggest that inequality is bad for business--but the size of this effect is small. The findings do not constitute a case for public redistribution of wealth as a means of stimulating business activity. There should probably be more research on interventions to reduce liquidity constraints.

I know, I know we barely got past Halloween and we are already talking Christmas…but I have been in the Christmas mode for quite sometime! I just love it! I promise I haven't made a full switch to Christmas. I still have some really fun Thanksgiving ideas I want to share with you but I just had to share this fun and simple neighbor gift idea! How many of you actually enjoy cleaning up all the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner dishes? I know I sure don't. What could be a better gift than a "no dishes" gift set! I picked up some festive red and white stripes plates, some small white dessert plates, red bowls and napkins. I then tied it all together and wrapped it with ribbon and a fun note that says " Sending you a warm Christmas wish….that you won't have to wash one single dish!" I don't know about you but I would much rather toss the trash and enjoy more quality time with my family and friends!
I even provided the fun printable for you to print for yourself! All you need to do is click on this image below. It will open up a new window. Right click the image and save to your computer. Print as our normally would. I suggest sizing the image down a bit so it isn't pixelated.
I joined 30 other bloggers who are also sharing some fabulous neighbor gift ideas! Make sure you check them out!

Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO a high power zoom lens with a proprietary built-in advanced VC mechanism, covering 465mm-equivalent angle of view* and designed for both APS-C and full-size SLR cameras, has been selected as the winner of the EISA Photo Award – European Consumer Lens of the Year 2008-2009.
EISA Awards are presented each year to the best products in photographic, audiovisual, video, and mobile product categories as voted by the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) panel consisting of editors-in-chief and technical editors of about 50 leading and influential magazines in 20 European countries that specialize in photography, audio, video and mobile electronic products. The EISA award is recognized as one of the most prestigious awards a product can receive in its specific category. The honor marks the 10th time Tamron has received this highly prestigious and internationally recognized award. This is the third consecutive EISA award for Tamron following the 2007-2008 EISA for the AF18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II Aspherical (IF) MACRO and the 2006-2007 EISA for the SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II Aspherical (IF).
Tamron's AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO ("28-300mm XR Di VC") zoom lens has been highly evaluated by photographers the world over as a compact and high power zoom lens that provides remarkably stabilized viewfinder images thanks to Tamron's state-of-the-art 3-coil VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism. The lens covers an angle of view equivalent to that of a 465mm* ultra telephoto lens when mounted on a digital SLR camera with an APS-C size image sensor. The ultra telephoto range is one where Tamron' proprietary VC mechanism exhibits its compensation performance really shines. The lens lets the user enjoy ultra tele photography with amazingly sharp hand-held image results. The lens covers an angle of view equivalent to 43mm at its wideangle end, allowing the user to respond to a wider variety of scenes than tele-zoom lenses in the standard 70-300mm class.
* Tamron's conversion value is 1.55x.
Award Citation of the EISA Jury
The Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD acts like a much faster lens than it appears to be at first sight. The Vibration Compensation system enables use of slower-than-usual shutter speeds - it's a joy being able to shoot pictures handheld that are perfectly sharp with 1/60sec at 300mm. Besides, there is less need to use a flash, which leads to more natural images in many situations. Because of its enormous zoom range with Vibration Compensation, this is the ideal lens for sports and nature, for photographers using either full frame or APS-C sensor camera

Main features
High power zoom lens allowing comfortable ultra telephotography with stabilized viewfinder images. The lens covers everything from 28mm wideangle to 300mm ultra telephoto when mounted on a 35mm full-size film camera and a range of angles of view equivalent to 43mm wideangl3 to 465mm ultra telephoto* (diagonal angle of view of 5°20') when used with a digital SLR camera with an APS-C size imager. Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism exhibits its power particularly in ultra telephotography, allowing the user to expand his/her photographic creativity while enjoying the world of ultra telephotography.
*When mounted on a digital SLR camera equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor, converted to the 35mm format (Tamron's conversion value is 1.55x)
Tamron's VC mechanism compensates for hand shake
Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism employs a "three-coil" system that is designed to let three coils drive a compensator lens electromagnetically via three steel balls built in the mechanism. Since the compensator lens is supported with rolling frictions of the steel balls only, friction coefficient is smaller and follow-up performance is enhanced for stabilized viewfinder images while the simple construction designed to move the compensator lens in parallel with only electric control command realizes the compactness of the mechanism itself.
High power, yet features the VC mechanism and outstanding optical design
The AF28-300mm Di VC zoom lens is a product Tamron has developed by integrating advanced optical design technology Tamron has accumulated as the pioneer in high power zoom lenses, in order to strike an ideal balance between a vibration compensation mechanism and compactness. The optical system uses XR (high refractive index) glass elements, a GM (glass molded) aspherical element, hybrid aspherical elements, an LD (low dispersion) glass element and an AD (abnormal dispersion) glass element. The optical system designed to provide high definition and contrast performance as well as flatness of the field enables you to respond a wide variety of photographic scenes, as a lens designed by eying characteristics of digital SLR cameras.
Minimum focus distance of 0.49m over the entire zoom range for 1:3 maximum magnification ratio
The AF28-300mm Di VC sports the minimum focus distance of 0.49m over the entire zoom range, the top class capability among high power zoom lenses compatible with 35mm full-size SLR cameras. The maximum magnification ratio of 1:3 at the 300mm telephoto end is also the top class capability.
Internal surface coatings for thoroughly surpassing ghosting and flare
Tamron employed multi-layer coatings on lens elements for reducing reflections on lens surfaces as well as internal surface coatings (coatings on cemented surfaces of lens elements) in order to minimize reflections from the imager itself within the mirror box, a problem inherent to digital SLR cameras.
High power, yet lightweight and compact, thanks to innovative mechanical design
In designing the lens, Tamron thoroughly reviewed roles of respective barrel components in order to make it as compact as possible. As a result, the increase in the overall length of the new model is confined to 17.8mm and 5mm in the maximum diameter compared to the conventional AF28-300mm (Model A61A), despite the VC mechanism now incorporated.
Zoom lock mechanism for convenience in carrying the outfit
The lens has a built-in zoom lock mechanism to prevent sliding fall of its barrel when the outfit is carried around.
Flower-shaped lens hood as a standard accessory
The lens is supplied with a flower-shaped lens hood as a standard accessory designed to efficiently cut harmful light entering from angles other than intended angles at four corners of the frame in order to enhance clear descriptive performance.
These are available to purchase from the ePHOTOzine shop in various fittings, either Sony Alpha, Pentax KAF, Canon or Nikon AF-D.

A State Senate Oversight Committee ... The Senate Community, Economic & Recreational Development Committee signed off on the bill during a brief session this evening, sending it to the Senate Appropriations Committee for further action. Lawmakers have been tinkering with the issue for the last couple of years, a fact alluded to by Chairwoman Jane Earll, R-Erie, as she offered an amendment to the House bill upping the penalties for violators and giving club owners a clearer idea of the kind of records they'll have to keep on the games. "I know there's a lot of stuff here, but you've seen most of it before," Earll said. Politics As Usual: The Campaign For Governor (Really) Begins.Total People in Discussion: 2

""Some Christmas tree ornaments do more than glitter and glow, they represent a gift of love given a long time ago" ~Tom Baker"
Tom Baker aka The Pondering Man
"It's almost going to look like a hood ornament on top of that big rocket. We want to give it a lot of speed to get to Pluto as fast as we can."
George Diller
"Soil moisture that is root-system deep will help almost any ornamental planting do a better job of getting through winter."

In this article we'll look at how to use DMO to run a job - which might even consist of more DMO!Why execute a job rather than just execute the task directly? The same reason you should use stored procedures instead of code - it's faster, and more importantly, it gives you a layer of abstraction. By saving the job on the server, the DBA can easily alter it without having to have an application recompiled (or even a registry setting changed). Here is some code that shows how to connect to the server and run a job:

Tonight brings us Ohio trying to rebound from their first loss of the season, the always fun VT at Miami and a battle of two Foghorn Leghorn Directional Universities.
Aside from the Bobcats, none of these teams are particularly good football teams, but if history has proven anything, it's that bad teams often play great games. You may also want to tune in to guess the number of fans on hand for kickoff at Sun Life Stadium.

National Science Foundation vindicates Michael Mann
by Richard Littlemore, DeSmogBlog, August 22, 2011
Carbon steel "hockey stick" stronger than ever
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of the Inspector General, having conducted a thorough review and investigation into all allegations of impropriety or scientific misconduct against Penn State University Prof. Michael Mann, has dismissed all of those allegations for lack of evidence and closed the case (attached and/or here).
As reported by Joe Romm at Climate Progress, Mann has been the target of a host of allegations and attacks, many arising out of the iconic status of a graph (inset) that he created in a 1998 paper with Raymond Bradley and Malcolm Hughes, and others sourced in the emails that hackers stole in 2009 from the the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia.
As the NSF now reports, none of Mann's critics ever showed the courage or conviction of actually laying a formal complaint before Penn State, where Mann is director of the Earth System Science Center. But the allegations were so prominent in the blogosphere and in mainstream media that the university took it upon itself to conduct an investigation. The NSF then reviewed Penn State's exculpatory findings, duplicating some parts of the investigation in greater detail.
The result? No shred of evidence exists to impugn Mann's work.
As Romm points out, the central conclusion drawn from the Hockey Stick - that temperatures, stable for a thousand years, have spiked dramatically since humans began using fossil fuels - is also being confirmed with each new study. It appears that, unless you are willfully blind or directly in the employ of the fossil fuel industry, the evidence - of climate change, as well as of Mann's scientific bona fides - is undeniable.
This is not likely to stop people like David Legates from continuing to misrepresent the contents of the East Anglia emails, nor would it be profitable to expect newpapers like the National Post or Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal to actually apologize to Mann and others or to make any other effort to correct the record. But for anyone who clicks past the imagined reality peddled by those papers, the conclusion is clear - and is now confirmed by one of the largest and most credible funders of scientific research in the world. The Hockey Stick is unbroken.

Content Insider #334 - Fast, Furious, 4K
The More Intense the Content, the More Important the Storage
By Miles Weston
"This will decimate all, after you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan." - Jesse, "The Fast and the Furious," Universal Pictures, 2001
Content was king at this year's NAB (National Association of Broadcasters), especially 4K content.
While all the servants of the king jockeyed around to see who was going to be the favorite court jester, most didn't pay a lot of attention to the power of the throne ... Queen Storage.
That's right, without Queen Storage; content would be mere fleeting bits/bytes that disappeared into the atmosphere.
And there were a whole lotta' folks walking the aisles looking to create content - studios, indies, wanna' bes, marketing types.
That's probably why Cisco is so bullish about tomorrow.
They're pretty confident that by 2016, consumer video across the Internet will be 55 percent of traffic.
Of course, if you add the OTT (over the top) content, business videos and the channels to streaming media players like UltraFlix, P2P (peer to peer), VOD (video on demand) and we're talking about 86 percent of the traffic.
That's why Dom commented, "He can find anything on the web, anything about anyone."
Last year, YouTube had one billion unique visitors a month watching more than six billion hours of video ... that's about one hour for every person on Earth!
Next year, Forrester estimates it will take five years to watch all of the video crossing the Inet ... every second!
Oh sure, occasionally someone will send an encrypted business document, but that's like chump change to ISPs (Internet Service Providers).
As you walked the caverns of the Las Vegas Convention Center, you saw a few of the old guard broadcast folks; but the majority were independent cinematographers and marketing folks trying to figure out how to sell stuff to consumers.
Marketing Videos - Consumer and B2B (business to business) marketers are finding that high- quality educational and informational videos can increase customer interest and sales. Whether the content is created internally or externally, attention has to be placed on quality that keeps the audience's attention.
Marketing Video
According to Aberdeen, companies are finding that if you want to convince/sell to today's consumer, you have to entertain them and entertain them with quality.
Reinforcing those findings, Nielsen reported how consumers react to poor video quality:
- 62 percent of folks would have a negative perception of a brand after viewing poor video
- 23 percent watching would hesitate buying the product
- 60 percent would blow off all of the brand's social media
- 57 percent wouldn't bother sharing poor videos
Edwin simply said, "It's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car."
That's probably why there was so much buzz about 4K and so many new folks finding out about economical cameras, post production HW/SW and ... storage.
The 4K content we're going to see everywhere shortly is something to behold and something to hold.
Uncompressed 4K content - 24fps (frames per second), 10-bit - has a lot of weight:
- 1 sec - 253.125MB
- 1 min = 15.2GB
- 1 hr = 911.3GB
And less than 20-30 percent of the stuff shot probably sees the light of a screen. The rest is kept around ... just in case.
Can't simply send that stuff to the cloud because folks who know know The Cloud is nothing but a bunch of huge storage farms spread around the globe.
Content is King
The capture options at NAB included cameras of every shape, size and price but my favorites were RED and Blackmagic.
RED is clearly the leading-edge/bleeding-edge trendsetter in the industry. Gawd love 'em, but the price matches their position which is probably why most cinematographers (pro and indie) rent the units for their projects rather than buy them.
Blackmagic, on the other hand, offers really solid performers that marketing types, indies and yes pros can afford.
In the Blackmagic booth, I was introduced to Cirina Catania, an indie who is using three of the company's newest cameras for a project she's donating her time/talent to--the Wounded Veterans, Furnishing Hope and the United States Veterans Educational Institute.
Economic Quality - Cirina shared a photo with us of the tools of the trade she used for her recent documentary which will be released in a few months. Blackmagic's sub-$4,000 video camera is ideal for delivering 4K content on a budget. High-performance, high-capacity 6G SSDs stand up to handling and the environment. She also included two versatile OWC docking solutions in her package that enabled her team to easily move content from the SSD to external HDs in her equipment truck.
She was excited about using the unit because it captures 4K content to fast, high-capacity OWC SSD, rather than tape, film or HDs.
"For ordinary work and post production I do use hard drives because Thunderbolt-based drives provide the speed, performance, capacity and price needed," she noted. "But when you're shooting, you absolutely need storage that is super fast and ultra reliable - even in extreme conditions, almost failure proof and power conservative."
Prior to coming to NAB, she had done a shoot for a special documentary in the desert/mountain areas of Nevada and said the cameras and 6G SSDs took a beating in the rugged terrain, even though she was careful and every frame was captured/saved.
"Yes you can say SSD is more expensive than a hard drive of the same capacity and even larger," she commented, "but most people who do this for a living consider it to be almost cheap when you consider the cost of trying to go back and reshoot a few or a number of scenes ... if it's even possible. No way, Jose!"
Post Work
While capturing great content is sexy the real work begins for video during the post-production phase.
Post Storage - While most of us think of post-production only in terms of adding fades, wipes and special effects; the time-consuming work is also where most of the storage devices are used. Most editors and production folks retain every bit/byte of content ... even if it doesn't make it into the final cut. Storage capacity requirements just continue to grow.
Harmonic continues its lead in this area with systems that meet the critical needs of very particular Hollywood producers and their increasingly discerning audiences.
While the company really understands collaborative post-production, they yield to their customers and use high-performance, high-capacity HDs in phases but use advanced fiber-optic networking and GB Ethernet to give them the bandwidth and low latencies 4K projects require.
Foundation - The fundamental building blocks for post-production systems such as those offered by industry leader Harmonic are pretty standard - high-speed SSDs, high-performance/ high-capacity HDs, moderate-speed/very high-capacity HDs. The secret sauce offered by a number of NAB exhibitors is the software, media management and high-speed system connectivity.
Their new MediaGrid tiered solution allows shared post-production operations to economically expand their storage as the collaborative workflow activity grows.
Combine that with their MAS (Media Application Server) and the disks are virtualized to save the production team time and money.
When time, performance and money (especially money) are major concerns, the MacPro is still the weapon of choice for most of the individuals and companies visiting NAB (although Apple doesn't exhibit at the show).
Analysts love to say that the tablet is killing the PC, but you'll never convince people who make their living producing content you stream and devour.
As Brian said, "I owe you a ten-second car."
The new high-performance computers - used in off-hours for videogames - plus Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier Pro plus really high-capacity external HDs deliver a very economic post-production solution "almost" anyone can afford.
At OWC's booth, I met Andrew Disney, director of indie film "Intramural" that will be featured at this year's Tribeca/ESPN Film Festival.
Disney said his group chose the RED Epic because "it just delivered the dynamic 5K quality the crew wanted."
The movie is all about a common problem anyone who goes to college faces - graduating and dealing with an endless list of marriage, career and debt problems. The solution for the creator, Brad Jackson, was one final, grand intramural football game.
Driven - While the content of "Intramural" that Kody Gibson finally produced was king, he also thinks the queen has to be storage because without fast, reliable storage the content would disappear.
Disney explained that immediately after the shooting was wrapped, the content would be rushed to Koby Gibson (editor) and his team who would do the post work on an array of OWC HDs.
Disney noted that in addition to the firm's new Thunderbay, they used a lot of assorted OWC drives because RAW 5K "has a real appetite for storage."
One of the folks at RED told me that RAW 5K 12-bit video produces a whopping 2.5Gbps of content that can really test the performance of systems and storage, but the combination of GB Ethernet and Thunderbolt interfaced HDs can meet the needs for online editing now as well as next-generation 8K projects.
Fortunately for the people who stream (and view) the ultra high definition (UHD) content, the industry has moving the H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) compression.
HEVC reduces bandwidth requirements by more than 50 percent so the content will look great when it's viewed over-the-air or IPTV/OTT. That's important if the content industry is going to meet the entertainment demands of today's audience.
Comparing content delivery to racing, Dom said, "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."
Internet of Video - The Internet may have been developed to help professionals exchange ideas/information and collaborate; but today, it has become a major source of entertainment when you want it, where you want it.
More importantly, as a storage analyst from IDC said as UHD production increases, predicting storage capacity requirements for the next two to three years is going to be difficult.
The key for storage suppliers is to develop systems that are fully scalable and easily expandable.
As Dom said, "I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free."

"Suicide is man's way of telling God, "You can't fire me - I quit.""
Bill Maher
"We live in a society where increasingly our eco-socio-politico education is presented by 'court jesters' such as Bill Maher, Howard Stern, Al Franken, et al. Just how low have we sunk when people require a punch line in order to examine any serious topic? It won't be long before the only requirements to become a school teacher will be a great stand-up routine and a colorful clown's wig."

Ana Castillo enjoys a favorable reputation among critics writing for a number of prestigious publications. In an article for MELUS, Elsa Saeta depicts Castillo as "One of the most articulate, powerful voices in contemporary Chicana literature . . . whose work has long questioned, subverted, and challenged the status quo." Janet Jones Hampton writes in an article for Americas, "Her poems, like her prose, recount the struggles and survival skills of marginalized peoples and sing of their dreams and hopes." Marjorie Agosin in MultiCultural Review praises Castillo as "lyrical and passionate" and "one of the country's most provocative and original writers."
In a critique specific to I Ask the Impossible, Donna Seaman in Booklist says Castillo's poems are "alight with stubborn love, crackling wit, and towering anger." A Publishers Weekly critic says of I Ask the Impossible that the point of Castillo's poetry is the "immediacy and the message...
