Anxiety Therapy
Breaking Free From Obsessions
"I don't believe life can be any different. I'm ready to give up I've been fighting this thing so long. Do you really think things can change?" These are statements that I often hear when a client first comes to talk about their Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Change absolutely is possible!
Cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT
CBT is an extremely effective treatment against the brain tricks of OCD. In fact it is considered the "gold standard" for treating obsessive compulsive disorder, as well as other anxiety disorders. Despite the high success rate using this therapy method, very few therapists receive training in this method. Additionally, 2 studies showed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy more effective than anti-depressants like Prozac, Zoloft or Paxil!

Cognitive behavioral therapists
See children, teens, and adults emerge from their urgent needs to engage in compulsions and rituals to reduce their anxieties. In actively confronting and engaging their obsessions and compulsions as much as possible during therapy and then at home, people are able to free themselves from their previous thought patterns. However, it is not stopping the rituals, but learning how to restructure their thoughts and beliefs about their obsessions that makes the difference.

Anxiety: The Unseen Monster
by Evelyn Wenzel, LCSW
Does it seem like an unseen monster lurks around the corner? Does fear and worry weigh you down? Frustrated because you feeling like nothing will ever change? Everyone experiences anxiety as it is a normal response to threatening situations; however, for some people it becomes a disabling response to life. Irrational responses to everyday situations seem to cripple the 40 million Americans who suffer from anxiety disorder each year. In fact more people suffer from anxiety than depression! What differentiates everyday anxiety from an anxiety disorder? The key words with everyday anxiety are appropriate and reasonable. "Butterflies" in the stomach is a common physiological response when someone experiences anxiety before giving a speech or entering a competition. If a burglar tries to break into your house, fear is a normal response to the situation. So challenges in life that involve lose or failure, and unexpected or unknown situations all cause normative anxiety responses.
Anxiety disorders involve a much more intense response, last a lot longer after the stress situation concludes, and disrupts normal functioning. Anxiety disorders often lead to secondary issues such as low self-esteem, impaired relationships, substance abuse, and depression.
Six anxiety disorders are as follows:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Specific Phobia
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Panic Disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Despite their different forms, these disorders all are neurobiological in nature. Anxiety negatively impacts lives and involves persistent, intense, all-consuming fears or worries. People who suffer from anxiety look for emotional escape and avoidance, which leads them to become observers of their existence rather than participants in life. Specific phobias involve avoiding particular types of objects or situations. Heights, flying, driving, elevators, dental or medical procedures, and animals are all common objects or situations that can cause irrational fear and anxiety.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder:
(OCD) is characterized by obsessions and compulsions that interrupt normal routines, relationships, and daily functioning. Obsessions are unwanted thoughts, impulses, or ideas that intrude upon a person's thinking and create increased worry or anxiety. Compulsions are responses to those obsessive thoughts and are done to relieve or prevent the anxiety. PTSD often develops after a traumatic event where a person's safety or life is threatened or where he/she has witnessed a traumatic event. Even months after the event occurred, people experiencing PTSD have trouble coping with the disabling psychological symptoms created by the event. Social anxiety is one of the most common types of anxiety and is marked by an extreme fear of being embarrassed in a social setting. People are often concerned with being judged or humiliated publicly. The most common type of social anxiety disorder is performance anxiety, such as public speaking. Panic disorder seems to occur without any apparent cause and is characterized by an episode of apprehension and intense fear.
Often when someone first experiences Panic Disorder they believe that they are experiencing a heart attack! There physical response to fear is so intense that they experience chest pain, dizziness and shortness of breath. People who suffer from GAD worry excessively about everyday things, such as health issues, work, money, and relationship problems. Many people suffer in silence from this unseen monster and never seek treatment because they don't believe their live can be any different. Despite the toll it takes on your life, the good news is that anxiety disorders are highly treatable!
Getting Help – Which Anxiety Therapy or Counseling is Right for Me?
"Anxiety or Trauma healing is just a few sessions away." Our trauma therapists are specialists and you can start feeling better often right after the first session. Effective treatment for anxiety disorders includes Emotion Freedom Techniques (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Exposure Based Behavioral Therapy. Call for a Complimentary Phone Consultation with a Trauma Specialist to find out which of the below therapies is best for you!
- EFT – Emotion Freedom Techniques is a very effective short term therapy used in helping people be free from the intense feelings of trauma. This technique is used in addictions treatments as well and in many cases more effective than 12 step programs!
- EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is used also for Military Veterans and highly successful in freeing them from the intense trauma they have endured in war and used for auto accidents, dog bites, substance abuse, addictions and more! Read More
- CBT – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people change their thinking patterns and the way they react to anxiety provoking situations.
- Rapid Resolution Trauma Therapy is a method of therapy that pinpoints and addresses an inner issue through clinical hypnosis. Similar to traditional hypnosis the counselor guides the client through their sub-conscious to find the root of their issues. Depending on the issue at hand the counselor will guide each client differently. Rapid Resolution Therapy is the quickest form of therapy for those trying to move on from traumatic events.
- DBT – Dialectical Behavioral Therapy targets skills deficits as well as the cognitive beliefs that maintain the avoidance. The ultimate goal is for you to learn more strategic behavior skills that once acceptance of those feelings occur. Both CBT and DBT incorporate relaxation and stress reduction techniques into their treatment of anxiety. Often they both make use of exposure therapy.
- Exposure Therapy gradually acclimates a person to situations that previously triggered anxiety. This desensitization process helps people confront their fears in a controlled environment. Once phobias are no longer "rewarded" by escape and avoidance, they tend to diminish and fade away.
- Wellness & Supplements: Interestingly, twenty minutes of aerobic exercise per day is thought to be an effective weapon against anxiety. Good nutrition is essential and adding supplements such as B Vitamins, calcium, amino acids, and Vitamin C may be important but the quality of the supplements are paramount. We can direct you to the right health food stores to get the right brands that often work immediately. Caffeine and cigarettes aggravate anxiety and should be eliminated or decreased. Often with your treatment for anxiety the cravings to smoke or drink caffeine are reduced considerably.
Don't let anxiety rule your life. Get into therapy, exercise, eat right and experience life to its fullest!
Are you interested in learning how to modify your diet and learn more about supplements to help you overcome your anxiety? At TLC because we look at the whole person, clients experience symptom relief sooner by incorporating exercise, dietary adjustments, supplements along with cognitive behavioral therapy.

Anxiety Symptoms
A. Excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation), occurring more days than not for at least 6 months, about a number of events or activities (such as work or school performance).
B. The person finds it difficult to control the worry.
|C. The anxiety and worry are associated with three (or more) of the following six symptoms (with at least some symptoms present for more days than not for the past 6 months). Note: Only one item is required in children.
|D. The focus of the anxiety and worry is not confined to features of an Axis I disorder, e.g., the anxiety or worry is not about having a Panic Attack (as in a Panic Disorder), being embarrassed in public (as in Social Phobia), being contaminated (as in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), being away from home or close relatives (as in Separation Anxiety Disorder), gaining weight (as in Anorexia Nervosa), having multiple physical complaints (as in Somatization Disorder), or having a serious illness (as in Hypochondriasis), and the anxiety and worry do not occur exclusively during Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
|E. The anxiety, worry, or physical symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
|F. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., hyperthyroidism) and does not occur exclusively during a Mood Disorder, a Psychotic Disorder, or a Pervasive Developmental Disorder.
- The essential feature of Generalized Anxiety Disorder is excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation), occurring more days than not for a period of at least 6 months, about a number of events or activities (Criterion A).
- The individual finds it difficult to control the worry (Criterion B).
- The anxiety and worry are accompanied by at least three additional symptoms from a list that includes restlessness, being easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and disturbed sleep (only one additional symptom is required in children) (Criterion C).
- The focus of the anxiety and worry is not confined to features of another Axis I disorder such as having a Panic Attack (as in Panic Disorder), being embarrassed in public (as in Social Phobia), being contaminated (as in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), being away from home or close relatives (as in Separation Anxiety Disorder), gaining weight (as in Anorexia Nervosa), having multiple physical complaints (as in Somatization Disorder), or having a serious illness (as in Hypochondriasis), and the anxiety and worry do not occur exclusively during Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Criterion D).
- Although individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder may not always identify the worries as "excessive," they report subjective distress due to constant worry, have difficulty controlling the worry, or experience relatedimpairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (Criterion E).
- The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (i.e., a drug of abuse, a medication, or toxin exposure) or a general medical condition and does not occur exclusively during a Mood Disorder, a Psychotic Disorder, or a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (Criterion F).
- The intensity, duration, or frequency of the anxiety and worry is far out of proportion to the actual likelihood or impact of the feared event. The person finds it difficult to keep worrisome thoughts from interfering with attention to tasks at hand and has difficulty stopping the worry. Adults with Generalized Anxiety Disorder often worry about everyday, routine life circumstances such aspossible job responsibilities, finances, the health of family members, misfortune to their children, or minor matters (such as household chores, car repairs, or being late for appointments). Children with Generalized Anxiety Disorder tend to worry excessively about their competence or the quality of their performance. During the course of the disorder, the focus of worry may shift from one concern to another.
In a community sample, the 1-year prevalence rate for Generalized Anxiety Disorder was approximately 3% and the lifetime prevalence rate was 5%. In anxiety disorder clinics, approximately 12% of the individuals present with Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
Many individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder report that they have felt anxious and nervous all of their lives. Although over half of those presenting for treatment report onset in childhood or adolescence, onset occurring after age 20 years is not uncommon. The course is chronic but fluctuating and often worsens during times of stress.

It is important in genealogy to know that cemeteries are different from churchyards. Cemeteries are owned and maintained by a local or district council, churchyards are owned and maintained by the church to which it is attached.
I have compiled the table below to show which councils offer an online database facility, they probably have got fed up with family historians writing, emailing and phoning asking whether great grand-father is buried in one of their cemeteries so wisely place the information online!!
The information offered varies from database to database and more information might be obtained by contacting the council.
I have included one or two databases that don't quite fit into the category of cemetery databases, such as the one for Cambridge, but having found them I just could resist including them.
Hope you find this helpful, if you come across any additional databases I would be pleased to include them. Simply email me the details.

Many of Dordt's academic offerings give students the opportunity to take classroom knowledge and try it out in a hands-on situation.
Some Dordt College pre-law students have even had the opportunity to intern with local law firms or at the district attorney's office. These internships allow students to work beside professionals in the workplace, learn what it is like to have a job in that field, and test out classroom principles in real-life situations. They may also receive academic credit for their experience.
Lessons for a Lifetime
Jay Kroese graduated from Dordt in 1991 with a degree in accounting and business administration. The Hull, Iowa, native was accepted at several good law schools, and opted to attend the University of Iowa Law School, where he graduated with highest distinction, number three in his class.
Kroese was hired by Cargill, Inc., after graduating and is now a senior attorney with this international marketer, processor, and distributor of agricultural, financial, and industrial products. He provides legal council to the company with 97,000 employees.
"I was well prepared for law school and the challenges I've encountered in the workplace," says Kroese. "You will receive an education at Dordt College that will prepare you well for law school. More importantly, you will receive instruction from a Reformed, biblical worldview."
Dordt graduate Gail Jansen ('74) agrees. "Dordt College will give you tools with which to craft a life of service to Christ," says Jansen, a private practice attorney in Arizona. "It will enable you to engage our culture as a Christian instead of encouraging you to flee our culture or assimilate into our culture. You can build life-long friendships with other students who will help you to grow in your faith walk with Jesus. Dordt is committed to educating 'the entire you' from a biblical viewpoint."
Speaking from her own experience and that of her children, Jansen encourages young adults from urban areas to consider a rural, small-town college experience on a young, dynamic campus to provide a strong base for future growth.

A fifth-grader in Sevier County has been suspended and charged after allegedly bringing a stolen gun to school.
Richfield police announced Thursday that the 10-year-old student was charged with theft of a firearm and having a firearm at school after he reportedly brought a handgun to Pahvant Elementary, at 520 N. 300 West, on Tuesday. Another student became aware of the handgun in the boy's backpack and reported it to the school administration that afternoon, said Sevier School District Superintendent Myron Mickelsen.
Administrators called the Richfield police and the boy was suspended.
Police are still investigating the case, though they've learned that the handgun was stolen from a family friend the night before, according to a news release. The parents and the gun owner were unaware of the alleged theft, and at least two other children learned of the gun but said nothing, the release adds.
Mickelsen also could not say what caliber the handgun was.
The school can keep a student on suspension for up to 10 days. During that time, administrators will set up a hearing and decide whether any further discipline is needed, Mickelsen said.
Mickelsen was not aware of any another such incident in the school district's recent history.

If there's one defining feature of social life on the Internet, it's this: people think it's not quite reality. This has been true for as long as people have been interacting socially on the Internet, behavior that predates "social networking" by a least a solid decade. In some ways, this can be good -- people can live out fantasies safely, or overcome crippling shyness. But there will always be people who think "Internet" and immediately assume "lack of consequences," and think "lack of consequences" and immediately leap to "crime." And then there's the fact that people will say things on social networking sites that they'd never say in person.
Here, then, is a rogues gallery of Facebook-themed crime stories: some announced via Facebook, some cheered on -- and some even solved!

Alternative and traditional medicine have a great deal to learn from each other. And we all have a lot to learn in terms of bringing the two closer together.
The Differences
Alternative medicine is referred to in many different ways—alternative medicine, complementary medicine, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), nontraditional medicine, nonconventional medicine, unorthodox medicine, and a whole host of others. CAM is the term used by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other mainstream medical establishments.
Traditional medicine is also referred to in many different ways—allopathic, traditional, conventional, orthodox, and Western medicine, to name a few. The term traditional, although used quite commonly, seems somewhat inaccurate, given that many alternative medical disciplines have been around for thousands of years, while many conventional practices have been around much less than a century. Most of these terms, actually, are only relevant in the context of Western culture.
The NIH defines alternative medicine as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine.
The Appeal of Alternative Medicine
What is the appeal of alternative medicine? Although the approach and focus of different types of alternative therapies may differ, they all seem to share the following characteristics:
- Empowerment of the individual to participate in and take responsibility for his or her own health
- Recognition and emphasis on lifestyle issues, such as proper nutrition, exercise, adequate rest, and emotional and spiritual balance
- Treatment of the individual as a whole person, as opposed to a series of parts
- Emphasis on preventing disease and maintaining health
American Medical Association's Role
In 1847, the American Medical Association (AMA) was established to try to regulate medical care. This governing body controls state medical boards and determines whether doctors can receive or maintain hospital privileges, and whether they can keep their medical license. A medical license can be revoked for a reason secondary to incompetence, which is essentially defined as deviating from what is known as the "standard of care."
As long as Western medical practices are considered standard of care, it makes it very difficult for alternative medical practices to become recognized, accepted, and respected.
Common Criticisms—From Both Sides
A common criticism of traditional medicine is that medical doctors treat symptoms, such as pain or fever, without searching for the root cause and that they tend to give medications to try to mask these symptoms. This is not entirely true. Although it is true that doctors often give medications or use approaches to control symptoms, they also search for causes of symptoms, such as infection or inflammation, in order to be able to treat them allopathically.
Looking in the other direction, one frequent criticism of alternative medical practices is the occasional sensationalism in reporting the merits of a particular approach. For example, there are books about certain dietary approaches that claim to cure a whole host of ailments. The same types of claims are sometimes made about particular supplements.
Another criticism of alternative practitioners is the method of case reporting—in other words, telling a story, or what we refer to as an anecdote, of someone who did quite well with a particular approach. Any medical doctor can also tell you individual stories about someone who did either quite well or quite poorly with one or another method of treatment. It requires experience with results from many patients before we can be reasonably sure that a treatment may work.
The objective approach, the so-called evidence-based approach is intended to look at how likely a particular treatment is to help a person with a certain problem. Evidence-based medicine is the application of a scientific process to distinguish outcomes due to chance from outcomes which are reproducible and, therefore, presumably more reliable. Both CAM and allopathic medicine are moving toward a more evidence-based approach.
Bridging the Gap
In order to help bridge the gap and bring the two disciplines together, integrative medicine was created. This is how it has been defined by Victoria Maizes, a family doctor and one of the key people responsible for its success: "Integrative medicine honors the innate ability of the body to heal, values the relationship between patient and physician, and integrates complementary and alternative medicine when appropriate to facilitate healing."
Integrative medicine refocuses medicine on health and healing. It insists on patients being treated as whole persons—minds and spirits, as well as physical bodies— who participate actively in their own healthcare. Today, many medical schools in the United States teach the principles and practice of integrative medicine. There are clinics and practices that embrace its philosophy. Also, integrative medicine research studies have been published in peer reviewed journals. Naturally, there are many sceptics within both CAM and traditional medical communities that blame integrative medicine for being either too scientific or not scientific enough. For those who would like "the best of the two worlds," integrative medicine practice may be a good choice.
One important thing to remember is you should share with your practitioners what other treatments you are receiving. You should let your alternative care practitioner know of any traditional medicine treatments you are receiving and you should let your traditional medicine doctor know about any alternative medicine treatments you are receiving. We all have a great deal to learn in terms of integrating these important areas of healthcare, and communication is one of the best places to begin.

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2012
California Constitutional Provisions
ARTICLE XIII Revenue and Taxation

Sec. 8.5. Property tax postponement. The Legislature may provide by for the manner in which a person of low or moderate income who is 62 years of age or older may postpone ad valorem property taxes on the dwelling owned and occupied by him or her as his or her principal place of residence. The Legislature may also provide by for the manner in which a disabled person may postpone payment of ad valorem property taxes on the dwelling owned and occupied by him or her as his or her principal place of residence. The Legislature shall have plenary power to define all terms in this section.
The Legislature shall provide by for subventions to counties, cities and counties, cities and districts in an amount equal to the amount of revenue lost by each by reason of the postponement of taxes and for the reimbursement to the state of subventions from the payment of postponed taxes.

So I was thinking about playing Age of Wushu again. I updated my client last night and logged on for a bit and talked to a few old friends, found my server had another server merged with it, and a took a look at some of the new stuff added. Today, I was about to hop on again, but decided to check the forums for a bit before I logged on.
What I saw was pretty annoying. Apparently Snail once again added some sort of automated code to detect botters/cheaters. Similar to the code they put in to auto-detect gold buyers, it appears that a lot of legit players are being affected by this. The primary cause of this is false positives caused be "acceleration programs" and other 3rd party software that runs along side games, such as WTFast/Battleping or Pando Media Booster (which runs when League of Legends is being played). So, something as simple as setting up an AFK stall and alt-tabbing to play a match in LoL can cause you to be flagged as a botter/cheater, which makes people able to kill you without gaining infamy, causes you to lose money (tho I think this is only bound liang?), and get a lot of infamy extremely fast (not sure if that's all the negative effects). Apparently logging out for a few hours will make the mark go away.
On top of that, I can't find any evidence that any of their native-English speaking moderators/GMs are still working with the game. Not to be rude, but their current moderators (at least from what have seen) seem to have a limited command on the English language. This would not be a problem if not for the fact that this version of the game is designed primarily for English speakers and therefore a large portion of their cust**** base speaks English (and often only English), which can cause a bit of strain when trying to resolve problems. Another complaint I noticed is that Snail seems to be using an unencrypted billing site (which I haven't confirmed myself yet).
Needless to say, I'm a extremely wary of trying the game again. Is anyone still playing? What are your thoughts of the current state of the game? Has the crappy ping been fixed? Seeing as I used to get 450-500 ping on average while playing without the use of Battleping, I can't really stand to play if using that program will get me marked as a cheater. The game just becomes nearly impossible to play, and isn't fun, with a ping in the 400's. The combat relies to much on timing.

Rangers Hold Off Caps 2-1 in Game 7
Henrik Lundqvist went from shaking his head in disgust to raising his arms in celebration when time finally ran out on the Washington Capitals.
Such is life as a New York Ranger these days.
Lundqvist was perfect in yet another nail-biting game that was razor close throughout the tension-filled, seven-game series, until the Capitals cut the Rangers' brief two-goal lead to one in the third period of Game 7. But Washington couldn't muster much else, and New York held on for a 2-1 victory on Saturday night that sent the top-seeded Rangers into the Eastern Conference finals against the No. 6 New Jersey Devils.
"We didn't expect the first blowout," said Rangers forward Brad Richards, who staked his team to a 1-0 lead just 1:32 in. "We expected another tight game. It came down to that again. It's just the way this series has gone, and it didn't change."
Michael Del Zotto also scored for the Rangers, who enjoyed the two-goal lead for all of 38 seconds before Capitals defenseman Roman Hamrlik made it 2-1 with 9:17 remaining.
Coming into Game 7, these teams were tied or within one goal of each other for 90 percent of the time, and the finale provided much of the same.
Lundqvist finished with 22 saves for the Rangers, who improved to 5-0 in Game 7s at Madison Square Garden. Now they will face the Atlantic Division-rival Devils in a rematch of the 1994 East finals, won dramatically by New York on Stephane Matteau's double-overtime goal in Game 7. That propelled the Rangers toward their first Cup title in 54 years.
It was that series that truly put this regional rivalry on an international stage. With stars on both sides, the Rangers and Devils, separated by just six miles and the Hudson River, played 27 periods of dramatic, tense hockey that ultimately resulted in each team winning a Stanley Cup over the next 13 months.
The Rangers have beaten the Devils in four of their five previous playoff meetings.
This next installment will open Monday in New York. The Devils have been off since eliminating the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 5 on Tuesday.
"It feels good to get that win," Rangers forward Marian Gaborik said. "You have to enjoy it for a little bit, but Monday we start from scratch again. We need to feel good about ourselves and get ready for the next series."
New York and Washington alternated wins and losses from Game 1 on, and this one didn't come easy for the Rangers, who missed a chance to eliminate the Capitals in Game 6 on the road.
It was yet another heartbreaker for Washington, which was trying to reach the conference finals for the third time. Six of the Capitals' seven playoff losses were by one goal, and only one of their 14 games overall were decided by more than one.
As they came off the ice following the final buzzer, the Capitals could be seen and heard smashing their sticks against the wall as they headed down the hallway to their dressing room.
"It's disappointing," said Braden Holtby, who made 29 saves. "We really did believe in here that we had the team to do it all. We gave ourselves a great chance. It's a tough loss. What we can take out of it is that New York is a very good team. We didn't leave anything on the table."
Before the cheering subsided following Del Zotto's goal, Hamrlik sent a shot off New York forward Derek Stepan that fluttered past Lundqvist for his only blemish of the night and left him shaking his head.
Suddenly, the jubilant crowd was thrown back into a state of nervousness, even though the score board pleaded all night for the fans to "Believe."
"Anytime you experience a surge like this, the momentum can turn. But we didn't let it happen," Del Zotto said. "We weren't happy about some of our play in the middle period but we found a way to keep them at bay."
The shots were 12-11 in favor of the Rangers in the scoreless second period, and New York took over in the third with an 11-4 edge.
Both the Rangers and the Capitals reached the second round of this year's playoffs with Game 7 wins. New York knocked out Ottawa, and seventh-seeded Washington eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins.
"We played hard. It's tough to swallow," forward Brooks Laich said. "I don't think we exceeded anybody's expectations. We had higher aspirations."
History isn't all on the Rangers' side. Since playoff expansion, no club has played 14 games in the first two rounds and went on to capture the Cup. They did reverse a recent trend in which Washington eliminated them from the playoffs in two of the previous three years, including the Capitals' comeback from a 3-1 series deficit in the first round in 2009.
New York played a very disciplined game, taking only one penalty for delay of game against Ruslan Fedotenko in the third period. The Rangers' power play did nothing on its two chances, but keeping Washington's man-advantage unit off the ice helped secure this win.

I believe the roving bands of people like you mention, people with kids that are hungry will be easy to handle. A few rounds in their direction will most likely change their thought pattern.
The real trouble will be the looter groups that are armed and will kill you to get what you have. They will be determined and vicious enough to not care who or what is in their way. Their numbers will be overwhelming and eventually you will be overrun.

Amyloidosis (am-uh-loi-DO-sis) is a rare disease that occurs when a substance called amyloid builds up in your organs. Amyloid is an abnormal protein that is usually produced in your bone marrow and can be deposited in any tissue or organ.
Amyloidosis can affect different organs in different people, and there are different types of amyloid. Amyloidosis frequently affects the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract. Severe amyloidosis can lead to life-threatening organ failure.
There's no cure for amyloidosis. But treatments can help you manage your symptoms and limit the production of amyloid protein.
You may not experience signs and symptoms of amyloidosis until the condition is advanced. When signs and symptoms are evident, they depend on which of your organs are affected.
Signs and symptoms of amyloidosis may include:
See your doctor if you persistently experience any of the signs or symptoms associated with amyloidosis.
In general, amyloidosis is caused by the buildup of an abnormal protein called amyloid. Amyloid is produced in your bone marrow and can be deposited in any tissue or organ. The specific cause of your condition depends on the type of amyloidosis you have.
There are several types of amyloidosis, including:

Opening Hour
11.30 - 00.00
Opening Days
Monday - Sunday
Here is Thai fusion fare at its best. The dishes on offer are clearly the fruit of the chef's creativity and hard work, exemplified by marinated lamb satay wrapped in pandanus leaves and placed over a charcoal grill for that earthy flavour. Deep-fried soft- shell crab with spiced green mango salad is electrifying, almost giving the crab a life of its own. Pan-fried snow fish fillet in green curry dances on your tongue before slowly fading away along with the zingy flavours of the sauce. Don't miss out on the house speciality, Phuket lobster baked in its shell with Thai chilli mousse; it represents the pinnacle of fusion excellence. Desserts tend to the classic: mango and sticky rice; chocolate brownie and ice cream

Consumers are demanding improved food safety, especially at home! CTI invented special "return to fridge" alerts when a product has been left too long outside the refrigerator. (CDC estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans – or 48 million people – get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases.)
Remind consumers when they need to apply sunscreen. Consumers often forget to reapply their sunscreen when having a fun day at the beach, by using sun-activated inks, an "Alert" appears in the sun reminding the consumer to re-apply.
Sometimes "too cold" or "too hot" is bad. Dial in the perfect serving temperature and create a great experience for your consumers. Temperature-activated inks can alert consumers when a product is the perfect serving temperature either hot or cold.
CTI's patented Ice Writer™ playmats and markers are a new invention that helps kids play, create and learn. The Ice Writer™ is placed in the freezer and then the "cold marker" activates color on the mat, mimicking the vibrant colors of a paint brush. The color is "erased" by rubbing it w/ a warm hand and the child is ready to start creating again. Wonderful color. Mess free. Reusable. Fun.
Using interactive inks is a great way to get kids excited about a product. Whether it is glow-in-the-dark ink to celebrate the holidays, thermochromic ink that surprises them, or photochromic to get them outside to playing it a guarantee that kids are going to love the color-changing effect.
Partner with CTI to create products that encourage kids to get outside, play and create. CTI offers a line of sun-activated (photochromic) inks for clothing and other textile products.EXAMPLE:
The artwork appears in seconds when the consumer steps outside and then disappears in a few minutes when returned indoors. A great product for amusement parks, swim products and other promotional t-shirts.
CTI's sun activated inks drive consumer interaction with on shelf products, encouraging customers to enage in outdoor activities while also linking products to Social Media sites.
Use "Reveal Inks" to share trivia or play games. As consumers drink the beverage the answers to trivia games are revealed. This allows for a group of people to interact with a product while enjoying the beverage.
Thermochromic inks are a great way to engage consumers in a sweepstakes. Using temperature activated inks the code is masked, but when filled with a hot beverage the thermo ink disappears making the QR code scanable.
Body-heat activated coatings - A low-cost solution to preventing fraud is to use body-heat activated inks. Use on product tags, important documents, identification, etc. When the ink is touched it will disappear proving the authenticity of the document.
photo tag - On highly sensitive items photo-tag can be used to prevent fraud. A unique scanner easily identifies if an item is authentic. The scanner uses lasers to detect the photo tag particles and if the particles are present the scanner will display a green check mark. If no particles are detected a red X will appear.
This is a new technology that is exclusive to CTI.
Guarantee your beverage is cold! CTI is the world's largest supplier of thermochromic, temperature-sensitive inks.COORS LIGHT:
Maybe the most well-known application of a cold indicator uses cold-activated inks to enhance their message of "Beer as Cold as the Rockies." With the two temperature indicators, Coors Light drinkers know when their beer is the perfect temperature for refreshment.
Use CTI to help differentiate a brand in a competitive market. Temperature-sensitive inks are an excellent way to bring impact to important design elements on a package. By doing this it can make a product more memorable or fun for the consumer.TUACA LIQUEUR:
Tuaca uses cold-activated ink on their label to bring emphasis to the intricate artwork on their label. World famous tattoo artist Corey Miller created the artwork, and the cold-activated ink highlighted the message "Get Inked!"
Add appetite appeal and intrigue to your package using proprietary chemistry from CTI.COCA-COLA:
Coca-Cola used cold-activated inks to ensure cold on their summer-time 16oz. promotional can.
CTI can add value to your brand. CTI helps consumers understand how much energy is left in their batteries, confirm their pizza is hot and encourage kids to create art. The possibilities are endless. Use CTI's Discovery and Innovation Incubator process to invent the right solution for you.DURACELL:
Duracell batteries use heat-activated inks to create the power-level indicator on their batteries. This value-added feature allows the consumer to know how much power is left in their battery.
CTI's design team helps create the right promotional idea that will drive retail purchases, enhance displays and encourage impulse purchases. CTI conducts consumer research to help demonstrate how your brand can use technology to drive purchases.Mountain Dew:
Mountain Dew used cold-activated inks to highlight the release of the major blockbuster hit, The Dark Knight Rises. The design featured the Batman symbol turning green when cold, enhancing the consumer's experience.
Use CTI to create on-package demonstrations to show before and after use. Any product that solves a problem or makes something better is an excellent candidate. Once the consumer touches the package on the shelf, the potential for purchase increases dramatically.EXAMPLE:
For Halloween, Menchies introduced the ghosts and goblins cup. When the cup is warm, only the Menchies logo was visible, but as consumers filled the cup with yogurt, Halloween imagery appeared. The consumer insight that drove this idea was that it encouraged consumers to add more yogurt to the cup so they could see all of cobwebs and bones. A great tool to drive sales.

Quick review of the DeSantis sof-tuck holster.
First and foremost it is made right here in the U.S.A.
It is an adjustable IWB (inside waste band) holster made of brushed leather with a reinforced smoothed finish mouth to assist with re-holstering. The throat is deep enough to cover the muzle. IT is opened bottom to allow dirt and debri to fall out. The Stitching is very uniform. It is able to be adjusted for cant' and position to carry (Small of back, Strong side, and cross draw) as well as any position (angle) that suits the user. The J-clip can be set at two different ride heights for comfort and preferance.
I purchased mine for a small revolver. Taurus 85 fits very nice into it. Drawing and Re-holstering is a breeze. The retension is very good. Comfort is not an issue with this holster. It has a high ride back side to keep the metal of the gun off skin. I prefer to wear it strong side with a forward cant.
The over all quality of the holster is excellent and recieves an A in my book. The cost is very exceptional.
If you are looking for an IWB holster, take a look at the sof-tuck from DeSantis while your shopping around. Its worth the effort to give it a try.
As always folks: Shoot Safe and Shoot Often.

This innovative law-based civics program combines classroom and community learning. Classroom activities cover the evaluation, debate, and critical analysis of legal issues that affect individuals, their families, and communities. Students develop a practical understanding of the U.S. legal system while learning about aspects of civil, criminal, constitutional, family, immigration, and consumer law.
Classroom instruction includes case studies, simulated legal exercises, small group exercises and analytical thought problems to develop higher level thinking skills that prepare students for rigorous college course work. Community-based, experiential learning includes a range of activities, from individual and group projects to internships in courthouses and legal services offices. The community-based component complements the classroom instruction, deepens learning, and encourages civic engagement.
This new course may be listed under political science, sociology, criminal justice, or business. It can also be cross listed. It is not designed to replace any courses that are part of paralegal training or administration of justice career preparation programs.

Arsenal Ladies manager Laura Harvey praised her side's battling qualities after getting their FA Women's Super League off to a winning start.
The Gunners earned a hard fought 1-0 victory over Chelsea in front of a record crowd of 2,510 at Tooting and Mitcham's Imperial Fields.
Defender Gilly Flaherty got the only goal of the game as both sides struggled to find a rhythm on what was a difficult pitch to play on.
But despite picking up the three points Harvey said her team were disappointed with their performance.
"Performance-wise we are a little bit disappointed," she said. "The pitch wasn't great and it plays a part in how we want to play.
"We couldn't really get the ball down and play today which was a little bit disappointing but we are just pleased to get the three points."
Harvey was particularly pleased with the strong character shown by the team in south London and insists it is something they have been working on.
She said: "In the past battling hard for the three points is something we haven't had to do so we have to try and work on that as much as we can. Being in the Champions League has enabled us to have competitive games to work on it.
"You are playing against teams in the Champions League who are as good as you so we have had to prove that already in Europe this season. We will have to do that again on Saturday when we play Lyon in the semi-final."
After getting their domestic campaign off to a good start Arsenal now turn their focus back to European action.
The Gunners have to overturn a two-goal deficit against Lyon at Boreham Wood on Saturday to have a chance of progressing through to the Champions League Final, which will be held at Fulham's Craven Cottage in London.
Harvey knows the tie will be difficult but she has virtually a full squad to pick from after no injuries were picked up against Chelsea.
She said: "We were glad to get through without too many injuries and hopefully we can go for it on Saturday. We have got a full squad back and we can really show Lyon what we are really about.
"For 70 minutes last Saturday we did that but in the first 20 minutes we let ourselves down so hopefully we can put that right this weekend."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

AMES, Iowa — Farmers' perspectives on climate change is the topic of this month's Iowa Learning Farms webinar on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 11:30 a.m. The webinar is part of a free monthly series, hosted by ILF, held on the third Wednesday of each month, through Adobe Connect. All that is needed to participate is a computer with Internet access.
J. Gordon Arbuckle Jr., an assistant professor and extension sociologist at Iowa State University, will present "Iowa Farmers' Perspectives on Climate Change and Agriculture," with selected results from the 2011 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll. The presentation will examine farmer beliefs about climate change, perceptions of associated risks, trust in agencies and organizations as sources of information about climate change and attitudes toward adaptation and mitigation activities.
Arbuckle's research and extension efforts focus on improving the environmental and social performance of agricultural systems. His primary area of interest is farmer environmental decision-making, especially as it pertains to soil and water quality. Related areas of interest include non-operator landownership, climate change and natural resource-based rural development. He is co-director of the Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll, an annual survey of Iowa farmers.
To connect to the webinars, go to: https://connect.extension.iastate.edu/ilf/. Arbuckle will be able to answer questions from webinar "attendees" via the Adobe Connect chat box. The ILF website contains links for archived webinars from previous months at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/ilf/Webinars/.
Iowa Learning Farms is a partnership of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa Natural Resources Conservation Service and Iowa Department of Natural Resources (USEPA section 319); in cooperation with Conservation Districts of Iowa, the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Water Center.


text: Part 1: What's it going to take to trade up and get him? It's sounding like we'd have to trade up to the #5 spot to get him. #9 to #5. I think that our 1st rounder next year would probably be enough (hopefully we're good enough next season to not regret that). A protected 1st rounder - or a 1st rounder two or three years from now - would be better. Maybe we could pull that off? As far as being able to pull the trade off without giving up an additional 1st round pick, I don't know? Monroe and Knight certainly aren't options. Villanueva and even Gordon are probably considered negative assets due to their large contracts. [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri]Prince's contract isn't awful, but it's long, so he's probabl[FONT=Calibri]y considered a negative asset. Maxiel is overpaid for what he is, so he's probabl[FONT=Calibri]y considered a negative asset as well. B[FONT=Calibri]ynum, for what he produced last season, is probabl[FONT=Calibri]y considered overpaid, and thusl[FONT=Calibri]y[/FONT] a negative asset as well.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT] Stuckey might be an asset that's considered valuable? He kind of started to turn the corner this season. But he's still getting paid quite a bit. I don't know. He's not really a piece Joe-D would to part with anyways. Jerebko has some value. Good player for the money. We wouldn't want to give him up, but we would. Not sure he'd be enough to make the move though. Is there someone else we could include to make it happen? Daye has some value for sure. Just because he's still got all that potential and is so cheap. Jerebko and Daye might be enough as a package. Macklin and Singler are both tradeable, but neither has much value. ...conclusion, IMO, it's probably a future 1st round pick or a package of Jerebko, Daye, Macklin and Singler.

LEXINGTON,Va.- Junior Keith Long had three goals and four assists while freshman Mickey Hofmeister added a pair of goals and five assists as the VMI Keydets defeated the Presbyterian College Blue Hose 15-9 Sat., March 12 at VMI's Foster Stadium. Hofmeister's five assists mark the third-highest total in program history, while eight other Keydets scored on the contest in the teams second victory of the season.
The Keydets (2-3) never trailed in the game, jumping out to a 4-0 lead less than five minutes into the matchup on goals by Long, and a trio of juniors, Andrew Nieminski, Tyler Griffith, and Drew Leonard. A Tyler Melnyk goal with 3:39 left in the first put the Blue Hose (1-4) on the board at 4-1, but junior Colin Bosse answered right back for the Keydets on a man-down opportunity, the teams first man-down score since the 2006 campaign, to retake a four-goal advantage at 5-1. Melnyk, who had five scores on the day, added his second with 2:15 left in the first to bring the tally to 5-2 heading into quarter number two.
In the second frame, the Keydets busted the contest open, outscoring PC 6-1. Hofmeister had a hand in the first two goals on the quarter by junior Dallas Wiggins at the 13:05 mark and Long's second tally of the contest at the 12:45 mark. After another Melnyk goal of the unassisted variety with 10:20 left in the second, the Keydets closed out the half on a 4-0 run. The run was keyed by scores by Leonard, Hofmeister, senior Lowell Patterson and junior Chris Rossie with one second left on the clock to carry an 11-3 lead into the half.
At the halftime intermission, VMI held a substantial advantage in shots (27-8), along with a 26-17 groundball differential. The Keydets also converted 11-of-14 faceoff opportunities. PC did capitalize on man-up sets, as the Blue Hose converted 3-of-4 in the first half.
PC showed glimpses on offense in the early portion of the third quarter, as a pair of Andrew Athens goals in the opening six minutes of the third to bring the score to 11-5. Long and Hofmeister hooked up for goals at the 6:06 mark with Hofmeister finding Long, and Long returned the favor with 3:02 left in the third for Hofmeister's second of the day to stretch the Keydet advantage to 13-5 heading into the fourth quarter of action.
The Blue Hose outscored the Keydets 4-2 in the final stanza, as Melnyk added his fourth and fifth goals of the contest, coupled with Athens' third score of the day and a goal by Kel Harrison. VMI's Eric Alter scored his first-career goal on a dish from Hofmeister with 13:07 left in the contest, while Patterson added his second of the contest on a man-up opportunity with 1:27 left on an assist from Bosse, securing the Keydets the 15-9 victory.
Junior Kelly McMinn started in goal for VMI, and made one save, improving to 2-3 on the season. He was relieved at halftime by freshman Pat Johnston, who had a stop as well as a pair of groundballs. PC keep Jon Athens went the distance in the cage for PC, making 11 saves and had nine ground balls.
The Keydets outshot the Blue Hose 45-22 on the afternoon, and held a 55-39 ground ball advantage. Junior Stephen Robarge led the way in the faceoff X, converting 12-of-15 of his opportunities and had a team-high nine groundballs, while freshman Christian Addison was 4-of-6 in the faceoff X. The Keydets were also a pristine 22-of-26 on clears on the afternoon to PC's 22-of-29.
VMI departs for its Spring Break trip on Tues., March 12 and play a pair of road contests beginning on Weds., March 16 against Bellarmine at 4 p.m. followed by a tilt with Detroit-Mercy on Sat., March 19 at 1 p.m. Live updates can be followed via VMI Twitter account @VMISID.

I jumped at the chance to use the wonderful houndstooth pattern stamp in Anya's new Heirloom Patterns set, released last month. I love it! Really, is there any card that couldn't use a little houndstooth?! For my shamrock I stamped three little hearts from Sweethearts and punched them out with the small heart punch by EK Success. The lined border stamp in Heirloom Patterns makes for a convenient stem for my shamrock. For the sentiment, I used a stamp from L'il Buddies and selectively inked it to say "lucky to have you," rather than "so clucky to have you."
I think I'll give this one to my daughter with a little box of Lucky Charms cereal...right after we set up our leprechaun trap. Does anyone else have kids that insist on doing this each year?!? We haven't been able to catch one yet, but he does manage to leave a few gold coins behind while making a rushed exit.
Thanks for joining the party and have a great St. Patrick's Day!

Q & A with the Bride:
1. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. Invitations were designed like an old newspaper (11"x14," folded), complete with two articles (one about how we met and the other about how we got engaged), ads about the breakfast buffet for dinner, places to stay, directions, ceremony information and the RSVP's were a tear off coupon that said in order to reserve seats you had to fill in the blanks and send back before the "contest closes on a certain date."
2. Each seat was set with a placemat that was designed including our cartoon characters, a crossword puzzle, word search, a maze and the best quote about breakfast for dinner!
3. My dress was handmade by my mother from a $9 vintage dress with inspiration from the blog ABeautifulMess.com.
2. Give us the one moment in your wedding day that you can't stop thinking about.
The walk across the grass to our guests and down the aisle was so amazing. My dad started telling me about the day I was born, and how proud he was of me. I think I told him he had to stop because I was going to get way too emotional. Once we reached the start of the aisle, I made sure I danced a bit to "Be My Baby" and looked out at all of our family and friends that were there to celebrate our love. It was the most incredible feeling to know they were all there for us!

well, this is prolly a repost, but i've been seeing this over and over, i was wondering.... false advertising?

Much more effective with machine power
Ive never done it with the pressure washer.
low pressure, like a garden hose is the right way to do it. Otherwise the gauge cluster could fog up.

You think you hate it now, but wait 'til you drive it.
This commercial makes me cringe every time I see it. I don't understand what the commercial is trying to say... Subaru's ads have been terrible lately.
Waw. If that was my dad he would have killed me.
Lots of VW stuff|Rare Scirocco parts!
The family: '55 Ford 351C, '70 TR6 262Olds, '80 Rabbit AAZ, '84 C30 350, '88 Scirocco 9A, '97 Hardbody KA24E, '01 TJ 150AMC.
If your car feels like it's on rails, then you're going too slow.
I was in the other room during a commercial break last night, and Mrs McBanagon said from the other room, "OMG, you would kill these kids....." She replayed the commercial for me when I came back, and thought, "No, they can't be adopted if I kill them.."
I did something like this as s kid to a mid '70s Suburban we had. I thought the key-activated electric window in the tailgate was the neatest thing ever, so I wanted to show it off to the kid next door. Not knowing how locks work, I stuck a flat stick in there to try to get the window to go down.
On Saturday, Dad had the tailgate apart and was picking splinters out of the lock cylinder. I wanted to go help as I always did with auto repairs, but Mom stopped me. "Sweetheart, let's just leave Dad alone for this one."
Seriously this is terrible. It's saying PLEASE TRY THIS AT HOME AND SUE US!
Those kids need ****ing HAIRCUTS!
MemeGate 2012 - First Responder, post #2
Buy my wife's old laptop!
its a great commercial, especially with anyone that has kids. I saw it, looked at my 7 year old boy and laughed. When he was younger, I certainly see him trying something out like that to help dad wash the car. Its stuff like that when you are 65 years old and your kid drops off your grandkids off, you can laugh and say you remember when you washed the inside of dads new car.
Im not an AD guy but I get the point of all the subie commericals. They are basically saying you will own the car so long that you will have a ton of memories when you pass the car on. Same with the guy that saw the ex girlfriend at the highschool reunion. He had the car with her so long it brought back all the memories of the girl and the car.

I think the Subaru ads of late have sucked as well, with the exception of the latest with the chocolate lab. What the hell was up with the ad for the hot air balloon? Man that one blew...
This ad with the "car wash" is a pretty accurate representation of the current style of parenting unfortunately. Kids running amok unsupervised and when they do get caught doing something they shouldn't, it gets laughed off.
My sister and I colored the back seat of our parents old 60's Chevy Malibu back in the day. We were old enough to know better but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I can promise you that dad didn't come out and say "Missed a spot" and grab a crayon. We didn't sit down comfortably for days after that. And I have to say, looking back that was the LAST time either of us did any damage to anyone's car.
It proves that parents are letting their kids get away with whatever they want.
Easy like Sunday Morning.

|if i could make it. I'd be up for doing it anyway... i use to be a hot shot driver, so im great at finding my way to places with very little resources. lol
We have 15 entries as of this evening, which should translate to about 25 on Saturday.
We have four Fords entered, one of them being a Focus. Where are the rest of you?
That's enough to create a Ford Team, to compete against the Hondas (last month's Team winner) and Subarus.
So far 3 entrants have elected to use their GPS (etc.), and 12 are going to go maps-only. Which way would you go?
Follow me on Twitter at @TXrally for up-to-date information.
|Looks like I will have to keep the other dates in mind too.
|dang, this looks like fun, too bad i cant make it.....
DFW Map Rally - August 25, 2012
How about a fun drive in the country, with a little competition thrown in to keep things interesting?
The DFW Map Rally starts in Decatur, Texas. To preregister, go to www.tinyurl.com/DMR12msr2. Registration opens at 9:00am at the Shell service station at the intersection of US 380 and Business 380 on the northeast side of Decatur. After registration, you will run a 12-mile (approximate) odometer check, then proceed to Eagles Canyon Raceway, where you will receive the materials needed to run the rally.
In this rally, we give you 10 locations to visit, which you can find on the maps we provide. All you have to do is figure out a route to visit each location in the shortest distance. Then go drive it. No signs to find along the way. You do have to answer a question or questions at each location, which may come from a sign, but that's all there is to it. You may even use your computers or GPS units, if you enter in class E, which allows electronic aids. In class S, all you may use is the maps we give you. Novices and Masters alike run in either class E or S.
There is an award for the first-time rally team that has the highest score among first-timers, not otherwise placing.
After the odo check, you will then be directed to Eagles Canyon Raceway, where SCCA does its road racing. There is a place indoors with tables for you to work with your maps to determine your route. When you are ready, get in your car and check in at the start line. After your odo reading is recorded, you are off to Paradise, and nine other other places.
There is a time limit, of course, but we believe it's ample. Your mileage, corrected by your odo factor, determines your score. If you miss one of the scoring opportunities at the ten locations, you will be penalized.
It is still a fun drive in the country, but you choose your roads. With the exception of two short areas we tell you about, you will probably run entirely on paved roads. You are free to drive on unpaved roads, as long as they are not private, but we don't think you will need to.
Any kind of street-legal car can enter. I think a Focus would be perfect for it. BTW, "speed" is not a factor.
How can GPS, Google Maps, and so forth help you? We don't know, but if you can think of a way, enter in class E. The overall winner, by the way, will be asked to tell us all how they did it, as part of the awards ceremony. So be prepared.
There were 45 cars entered in the Clear Blue Sky Rally that we put on three weeks ago.
