I headed out to LA Friday morning for Simply Stylist with my friend Sage. We stayed with our friend Robyn (the talent behind Robyn Rhodes Jewelry). I got back well after midnight on Tuesday so needless to say I am exhausted!
Anyway, I thought I would share with you all a recap of my awesome weekend.
This wasn't my first time attending Simply Stylist. I went to the NYC one last October and really enjoyed it. My girls and I decided that we would try and make it to the LA one, because why not make a trip to LA (plus we would get to stay with Robyn)?!?!
It was great going to the conference knowing a little of what to expect and how to prepare for it ahead of time. For those of you that aren't aware of Simply Stylist, it is a great conference that is designed for career minded individuals that are interested in anything from fashion to beauty. Everyone who attends gets the opportunity to learn and network!
The Farley Project speak. When you purchase your ticket to Simply Stylist, you are also donating to The Farley Project. Elissa is an extremely inspirational woman. You can read more about her and The Farley Project here.
A big chunk of the day is spent listening to experts-taking mental notes, getting inspiration, ideas, you name it. Catt Sadler was the host and kicked things off for everyone. She interviewed the keynote speaker, Alessandra Ambrosio. She spoke about her line Ale by Alessandra, and how she balances it all (while looking flawless, mind you!).
The blogger panel included some well known gals, and was moderated by Lauren Gores of Lauren's Lyst. Wendy of Wendy's Lookbook, Jenna Chae of From Head to Toe, and Cara Santana actress and founder of the Glam App (think Uber for beauty) all shared their personal thoughts and experiences on growing and learning in the industry!
Next up was the panel of experts moderated by Marcy Guevara, tv personality and the voice behind the Marcy Minute. Stassi Schroeder (of Vanderpump Rules), fashion designer Michael Costello, and Maria Hatzistefanis, founder of Rodial Skincare. The three of them chatted about how they got started, all of the hard work that was put into them living their dreams, and were just overall motivating!
The last panel was moderated by fashion and lifestyle blogger Ashley Fultz of the Style Editrix. She chatted with the hilarious celeb hair and makeup artist Joey Maalouf, celeb stylist Mary Alice Haney, and celeb makeup artist Christy Coleman (also the brains behind Beauty Counter). They shared some awesome advice, and even funnier stories!
After the panels was the brand experience. You get to chat with all of the brands attending, meet them, their PR people and just make connections. Speaking of connections, one of my favorite things about the whole blogging world (and conferences like this) is making new friends. I was thrilled to be able to finally meet Ashley of Afternoon Espresso and Lauren of Style Elixir. It's so awesome to have the online-blogging-friendship become real life! Had a great time meeting them!
Overall, I just can't say enough good things about the whole event. I leave feeling motivated, inspired and ready to try new things and step out of my comfort zone. If you have ever considered attending, you definitely should. There is another date in Chicago this July, as well as again in October in NYC.
Once again, one of the best weekends surrounded by some pretty awesome ladies!
Later this week I will share (most) of my outfits from the weekend! It's hard to remember to get outfit pictures when you are having so much fun!
Thank you, Simply Stylist for such a wonderful weekend!!

ECB rate cut only adds to banks' tracker woes
For the 375,000 lucky homeowners who hold tracker mortgages, the news that the European Central Bank (ECB) has reduced interest rates to 0.25pc is an early Christmas present that should shave up to €30 a month off a €250,000 mortgage.
But for the banks and the Government, this attempt to stimulate spending in the wider European economy only adds to a financial migraine that shows no sign of abating.
The state-owned AIB and Permanent TSB, as well as Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank have roughly €70bn in tracker mortgages between them, accounting for about 66pc of the combined financial institutions mortgage loan books.

Insane go-kart driver puts everything on the line by FLYING over opponent to win race
OVERTAKING on the ground is just so last year.
It's the last lap of a nail-biting race and you are lying in second place.
You have edged closer and closer to your opponent, but just cannot find a way round him to win.
Unless you are this fearless go-kart driver.
On the very last corner of the race, he decides to put everything on the line in an insane manoeuvure – by flying over his opponent.
"Wow! That's some crazy Mario Kart s***"YouTuber
He lands perfectly and seconds later crosses the line in first place.
The incredible dash cam footage, captured at Goodwood Kartways in Ontario, Canada, shows the go-kart narrowly missing the opponent's helmet.
And viewers of the heart-stopping clip couldn't help but liken it to a popular video game.
One said: "Wow! That's some crazy Mario Kart s***."
Another added: "It seems to be just like Mario Kart."
While a particular fan of the video game commented: "I was expecting a banana skin to drop out the back then too!"
The footage comes as another terrifying video emerged of a go-kart's brakes failing at 102km/h.

SAN FRANCISCO – The UC Board of Regents on Thursday named Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano as the first non-academic to head the 10-campus system in more than a century, voting nearly unanimously despite objections to her record as the Cabinet secretary in charge of the Obama administration's immigration policy.
"Let me acknowledge that I am not a traditional candidate for this position," said the former Arizona governor, 55. "I have not spent a career in academia. But that said, I have spent 20 years in public service advocating for it."
Student regent Cinthia Flores, a UC Irvine law student, was the only member to vote against Napolitano, echoing heated remarks from protesters inside and outside the meeting concerned about deportations and other policies Napolitano administered as head of Homeland Security.
"I grew up in an immigrant household, in an immigrant community," she said. "I can tell you the fear is real."
Napolitano defended her record on immigration, saying she has been an advocate for the federal Dream Act, which would regularize the status of undocumented young people brought to the U.S. as children, and for a large-scale overhaul of the nation's immigration system.
Supporters lauded Napolitano as a leader who has managed large, complex public agencies, and said her political aptitude would help the financially embattled university system secure money from the state and donors.
"I think we have in front of us a remarkable person of character who will exceed expectations," said Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who voted for her.
Six protesters were arrested after one jumped over a rope barrier and headed toward the regents, prompting more shouts and chants of "Education, not deportation." UC officials said the six were cited and released.
Flores called on Napolitano to put immigrant student issues first, fund academic preparation programs and review the presidential appointment process.
The announcement Friday that Napolitano had been nominated for the position caught many university and Washington insiders by surprise. She was the unanimous choice of a 10-member search committee that considered more than 300 people for the job.
Napolitano, who attended the private Santa Clara University as an undergraduate, has already announced her resignation from President Barack Obama's Cabinet.
She will succeed Mark Yudof, 68, who in 2008 became the first president from outside California to lead the UC system in two decades. He had spent 11 years leading the public universities in Minnesota and Texas.
Yudof was one of the nation's most highly paid college administrators, earning an annual salary of $591,084 plus car and housing allowances, retirement contributions and other benefits that brought his annual compensation at more than $925,000.
Napolitano will take over at a time of improving but still serious financial challenges for the university, including rising costs for salaries and retirement benefits. After several years of deep budget cuts, Gov. Jerry Brown earlier this month signed a state budget that boosts UC funding.

Last week, the Buffalo Niagara Partnership (BNP) released its 2016 Regional Priority Projects, which is the BNP's collaboration with Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Erie County and Niagara County to identify and advance regionally significant development, infrastructure and planning projects. The list of projects relate to Border & Trade, Infrastructure & Transit, Smart Growth Ready, and Tourism & Recreation.
Buffalo Niagara Partnership President and CEO Dottie Gallagher Cohen said:
"The Buffalo Niagara region is undergoing a significant building boom, but this list of projects highlights the economic potential of several other projects that, if funded, will help drive additional economic growth in key sectors. This annual list of priorities that the Partnership began with the 2002 Regional Agenda is designed to keep our federal and state representatives updated on the economic impact of signature projects and proposals in order to ensure the smartest and most effective use of taxpayer resources."
The Buffalo-area economy has made great strides forward in recent years. Continued efforts such as this one will help keep it moving in the right direction.

L35 Steering lever pin
L35 Steering lever pin. Shop manual said remove retainer and lift out pin.
Pin will not budge. With the axil in place only part of the bottem end of the pin is exposed,
with a drift pin I could hit upward (didn't move). I welded a half in. metal bar on top of the pin so I could pry up under the bar
[no luck]. The bar I welded on exstends 2 INs. wider then the pin, so I tried beating on the end of the bar to turn the pin to
brake it loose [bent the bar].
If axle was removed, can the pin be drove down or is there a sholder on pin to stop it from falling out of the bottom.
Any idea of what to try next?
Thank you

Re: L35 Steering lever pin
Might try turning the steering back and forth to different spots while beating it up, might have wore a lip somewhere on the OD of the pin.
Mine was stuck also, penetrating oil and hard blows from the bottom with a 8lb hammer and a helper with vice grips holding a big punch was what worked for me.
I dont remember the pin being a bigger diameter anywhere, just the little plate that goes in the groove to retain it. I think it will go down if the axel is removed.
It was very tight to work in there because I did not want to remove the radiator, it may have been faster in the end to do so because it was hard to get my hands, parts and tools into. Getting the steering hydraulic cylinder off of the lever caused me some trouble also, the pin is tapered and has to be driven down, to get it out of the lever and cylinder eye before the lever casting will have enough room to come out, I needed to replace the bushings inside.

Re: L35 Steering lever pin
Thanks for the reply, Hilbily
Well, I removed the axel today. Used a 1" steel bar & 8 lb. beater and drove the pin down and out.
Thank You

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees.
He said to the host who invited him,
"When you hold a lunch or a dinner,
do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters
or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors,
in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.
Rather, when you hold a banquet,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
(Luke 14:12-14)
Scripture Study
14:14. A Christian acts in the world in the same way anyone else does; but his dealings with his colleagues and others should not be based on pursuit of reward or vainglory: the first thing he should seek is God's glory, desiring heaven as his only reward (cf. Lk 6:32–34).[1]
"when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you."
Most people are familiar with the term quid pro quo, a latin phrase that means if I do something for you, it is with the understanding between us that you in turn will do something for me. In our narcissistic society, with a total focus on the self leads, relationships are not valued but are seen as mechanisms for individuals to obtain personal pleasure or personal gain.
God calls us to a different type of relationship – one that seeks honor all people through mutual respect and love of neighbor. In a world driven by a false sense of individuality and freedom, it is only in embracing humility that we can experience the true freedom which comes from God. Because in reality, our idea of freedom is warped. We become slaves to an unending and unquenchable desire of self-pleasure. True freedom only comes from an intimate and loving relationship with God.
Our measuring stick is found in the imitation of Christ and the saints. Let us hold fast to the teachings of Christ as we daily seek to live a life in harmony with the beatitudes and Our Lord's Prayer.
May the virtues of faith, hope, and love go with you today – DV.

The West is unable to explain the origin of the human personality. It is my job to provide people with accurate understanding of the genesis of the human personality. Freud, Adler, Jung and the other Western personality theorists did not satisfactorily explain the human self for me so I undertake to do it.

Regardless of how much love a child receives from his mother if he inherited a problematic body he is going to feel persecuted by the world and feel abandoned by the universe, by God and people. He feels that God and man does not care for him for otherwise why would he be given such a pained, crummy body? Thus, right from the moment of his birth on earth he feels persecuted by the world and feels orphaned, abandoned by the world even though his parents are there. He may soldier on, struggling to survive on his own but does not look forward to God or man saving him, for why would they give him his crummy body and then pretend to save him. In struggling to survive he may develop the need to please those around him for he feels that left alone they would not protect him so he needs to please them for them to protect him.
Due to his inherited medical issues that caused him loads of physical problems, my father felt persecuted and abandoned by the world and struggled on to survive on his own. I personally also felt persecuted by the physical universe because I inherited the type of problematic body that father has. In fact, my brothers who have the same problematic bodies also feel persecuted and orphaned and developed their personalities in response to this underlying feeling of not been protected and cared for by the universe.
I developed an angry, defiant attitude to people; I am angry at the world for causing me pain and as a result did not give a damn what other people said about me. In childhood, you dared not ask me to do anything; if you did I would ask you who the hell you think that you are? Did you reduce my pain for me? You mean nothing to me!
Some of my brothers responded to their problematic bodies with seeking other people to rescue them; one behaves like an orphan and expects those around him, including me, to rescue him. Of course I cannot rescue him; instead, I ask him to develop independence and rescue his self for no other human being can rescue him. I have absolute independence and do not expect any human being to help me; I have never done so and, as such, other people are really superfluous to me!
My metaphysics assume that each of us chose his body, parents and social experiences; our lives are our dreams. So, I accept that I chose my crummy body to feel the way I feel: persecuted and defiant.
If I chose it I can choose differently; thus, I choose to not feel persecuted and abandoned by the world and God; I choose not to see me as an orphan; I simply keep quiet and not blame anyone for anything in my life; if I chose whatever people and the universe do to me why should I blame them for doing it?.
In perception you see other people with your lenses; you see other people with whatever presuppositions and preconceptions are in your mind. You therefore do not see other people as they are but as your mind colors your perception. So, what are people and things like if you were to see them as they are but not as influenced by your mind?
Because your perception is colored by what is in your mind you are really not seeing or relating to people as they are but as your mind made them out to be; you are relating to your projections when you think that you are relating to other people. Perception is projection, Helen Schucman said in A course in miracles.
If other people and things are in your mind, and your mind project them out in your dream called your daily life then you are responding to your projections. If you projected things out and denied that you projected them out you are merely deceiving yourself. You are responding to your projections as if they are in fact outside you.
You respond to your projections as if they are independent of you when in fact you are responding to yourself when you think that you are responding to other people.
What you see other people do to you, you did to you for you projected them out and made them do what they did.
Other people projected you out and respond to you as they do.
There is only one self; a self with infinite selves in it; each of the infinite selves wishes to experience separation and projects out the rest of his infinite selves and relate to them as if they are outside him. The world is our individual and collective dream.
The separated ego self cannot predict what is going to happen in its future; it may study its past and have an idea of how things in the past worked out and use those to prepare for future responses but it cannot predict what is going to happen to it in the future.
In the physical sciences, we can study how matter, space and time works and predict things like weather, even earthquakes but science cannot predict human behavior or what other people will do to one in the future.
People have free will; they can choose, at any moment, to do something and you cannot predict what it is that they are going to do. So, give up whatever illusion you may have that you can predict people's future behaviors, you cannot.
The desire to predict the future is rooted in uncertainty and insecurity; if you could predict what other people would do to you, you prepare to checkmate them hence protect yourself. Alas, you cannot predict what people in the future would do so you have to live with uncertainty and ambiguity; such is life.
It is said that a higher part of us, the Holy Spirit knows the past, present and future and can predict the future for one; that if one keeps quiet and ask it that it would tell one what would happen in the future.
Psychics pretend ability to predict the future. They always fail. Helen Schucman predicted what she believed would happen in the future and none of them came to be.
Women generally believe in what they call intuition; they say that they think from their right minds whereas men think from the left, rational, intellectual mind. Because they claim to be in touch with their intuitive part, the supposed spiritual part of their minds, women generally claim ability to know what is going to happen in the future. Indeed, many of them say that they have spirit guides who tell them what is going to happen to them and those around them in the future. In my experience women are no more able to predict the future than men.
I simply accept that no human being can predict the future and leave it at that.

As an artist, making each piece by hand, do you worry about competing with knock-offs made by children in China? Even if your designs are trademarked and copyrighted, you likely can't afford the lost time or emotional reserves to fight these mass manufacturers. I've watched it happen to so many artists and I know it's a struggle to stay ahead of the copy-cats. So, what can you do about it? How can you differentiate your work from the inexpensive look-a-likes? Well, the best way I know is to make sure that shoppers know the difference so that they appreciate the value of your work and understand why it commands a higher price tag. Otherwise, they are not going to pay $279. for a piece that looks just like what they've seen in the Target or Walmart. And the one element that makes your work worth paying more for is the YOUness. If your work doesn't have a story, your customer can't understand the value and there is no way they are going to pay more for something that looks just like the cheaper one. Now, more than ever, your art needs a story. Annette Simmons, author of The Story Factor, said "in today's world almost anyone you want to influence is operating under a deficit of human attention." They are drowning in facts, information and statistics. They need a story they can relate to. Most people don't remember facts and figures. They do remember stories. As an artist, you need a story too. If you're showing your work at a juried craft show, chances are the attendees understand the value of your work. In that case, just being personable and explaining a bit about your process, inspiration, etc will help reinforce the old know-like-trust factor. They'll be loyal fans because they know your face and like you. However, if you exhibit at an un-juried show, it's likely that some vendors have slipped imports into the mix and you'll have to work harder to make sure the customers know you.. Knowing your "story", where you came from and how you got where you are now, adds that human element and makes your work worth the higher price. If your art is represented in a gallery, you may Continue reading

COMPLETE COVERAGE OF THE OCTOBER 14th UFO OVER ALABAMA PREDICTIONS
Update 6:17 pm CDT
I got off work last night and the sky had cleared up and we had a very full moon at 2:00 am….I don't know if it was because I was looking or what, but the moon put off so much light you could see the road without the cars lights on…I was looking so hard and never seen a thing.
It's still the 14th and I was thinking that if they do come it will not be when we are all in bed or at work because everyone would go crazy….and we don't need any more crazy here in ALABAMA….lol I do hope that something happens before 12:00 am tonight.
I also wondered what will happen to that lady if they don't come or what will she say.
Did she cry wolf and they didn't come so that when we are told that they will again we will not ever care? I hope not because I would love for this world to change and I think she is a nice person doing what she thinks is right.
People write such nasty things about other people in every place I go on the net.
It's not just the religious people, but you would think with hell and all they would be the messenger of peace not the dammed to hell. I don't think it's the right thing to do for others to judge other people.
We are all here and have the right to fill and think what we like. We should never force feed anything to others.
Cake is not good we it's forced down your throat.
Let's all just stop the hate. It's so easy to just STOP the hate. One little thing would help the word so much we can't even comprehend its ramifications of a world with no hate. We have always had it. If not the GOD people the people with no god.
I have what I do and that's me. My world is big because I don't close any doors to anyone because of what they clam to be. I don't judge them or hate them for what they say. We are all ignorant in uncountable ways, but we seem to think we know it all and that's our greatest ignorance of all.
I will keep looking up and post anything I see…..I still have hope that they will come.
Updated 4:51 pm CDT
Well, No ships yet? Maybe the ship is using a reflector mirror device to mirror whats around it, so that the people are not aware of the presence.
I think it is sitting right in the midst awaiting an OK from higher uppers, to turn off the mirror/reflector device and it will appear as if it just materialized. What do you think?

I have had aliens in my house. I was down the Regent pub in north west london uk, when suddenly I had a strange feeling I should have a few friends round later for some drinks. So I invited a few 'locals' and went home feeling quite refreshed and friendly, Imagine my surprise when one hundred aliens turned up with cans of beer and wine and space dust. I could hardly move. My friend who started the ministry of sound told me the music was too loud. Hey three k is. but at least it was a mix of music, We had house, disco, semidetatched house and latinoacidtrancereggae. Still the aliens left and didn't take any of my prize vegetables. So hey Alla bamma ? Allahbaanana? Welcome the aliens… With music and home groan hospitality. Regards Hu Kirk. Of the Enter Prize
Nick Olson
Well, no sign of anything unusual here deep deep deep in South Alabama. Not that I was expecting anything mind you. I have found that if you set your sights low enough, you'll never be disappointed! 🙂
If I see anything unusual, I'll get some video footage or pics and report back, but I would urge everyone to NOT hold their breath!
they're hereeeee
Updated 3:31 pm CDT
well hell…
I suppose I need to put away my rifle..No shooting at aliens today..LMFAO!!!
But who knows, maybe they are waiting for the cover of darkness…LOL
Like I said b4, what does Alabama have to offer? Cotton????
Im sure there is other places that have cotton also…
But, I will be looking to the skies tonight, just like any other night…
I always take a gander to the sky at least once a night, and with the weather clear like it is today here in Alabama a spaceship of "great light" would be seen easily….
Perhaps i need to break out the bong to be able to see it….LMFAO!!!!
Reporting live from northeastern Alabama @ 3:25pm!!!!

I had wished and am still wishing for an event to take place it is October 14th 4:30 pm and not a sign yet. I stayed up all night to watch the sun come up as one video messege said to do and I saw only the beautiful sun and the moon last night was huge over cleveland ohio. Besides that I have yet to see anything. If in fact there are no ships it will not only be a huge disapointment for many but a serious crime to the people that actually work hard to credit themselves on the facts that they have of alien or et encounters. There are people out there that are truthful. Why would a bunch of extraterrestrials lie. What good was this? I would like to add regaurdless of this i do believe we are not alone in this universe.
well , well ,well, first bigfoot, now a no show from the federation of gearboxes, there leader, blossum beanbag, were and when will this madness stop, only thing i know is were trapped here on this rock, and i,m surrounded by idiots. god help me, and hope he helps you , and bloosum , wrap your lips around my ass and take a good hard suck.
Updated 3:04 pm CDT
No sign of UFOs
But more comments
Melissa Martin
Ok, well its October 14th. And there is NO ship over the state of Alabama?
Today is October 14th. With no appearance of ships in sight as yet, I ask now the question most of us are wondering in unity: " Are they coming to appear in our skies?"
The answer from within comes to me in a form of this: There is yet a decision to be made that regards our entire collective. I hear this: "many need to choose to ask for help." After reading David Wilcox' statement written last night about this outcome. http://divinecosmos.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=410&Itemid=70
I see his point now and realize what is yet needed to traverse our multifaceted delimma.
He clarifies the reasoning behind his position, stating: "It would be such a tragedy. Such a mass visitation, at this stage in our planetary game, would be an absolute tragedy — an irreversibly vast insult to the free will of the overwhelming majority of people on Earth who would see it as a horrific and terrifying event, based on their Hollywood movie conditioning. It would also be a disaster for the person who brought the prophecy through, on several different levels, with many unintended consequences."
I agree that at this point of our unfolding scenarios that are explosively crossed, too many would only be confused rather that elated overall. I do, however, hold feelings of truth that we have more than reached critical mass for such a needed world anomaly yet it could not promise enough acceptance for the purpose that seems intended. We then are called to a better focus for a variety of clear reasons. The various themes of financial collapse and those nefarious sources yet hidden and without exposure is an opportunity for more than simply waiting. Here is why.
I must continue to encourage each of us to continue our walk toward sovereignty regained by living the resolve and continuing to pay attention in your positive dependable and anger free focus upon the truth that yet leaks out to the order exposing deceit among us. Forgiveness of all is a requirement as we are all of us the creators of such in one way or another. Remember that we are all on record as the body of voters that count at the Causal level for this is our own journey to claim. It is clear we must order up more exposure to support the lifting of the veils that deception yet held over the masses.
Know that this alone will cause to surface what must and can be as we are all of us going to discover our own suffrage in order to understand the roles we play. Our now global society is virtually on the same bus driving toward the same potential; let us be mindful of this. We must face where we are together at the point of a WAY of peace in order to keep our spirits unified within no matter how this falls down around us to raise new potentials for all of humanity that is both here and incoming
The final message I felt today was this: "We must realize that several of these scenarios of rise and fall, ebb and flow are an important part of a process which leads to this event happening for all the world to see. Know and eventually comprehend this message in its full capacity for intent.
It is never easy to ground such particulars as a mass UFO sighting until enough internal choice has maximized its stay and falls then to its event potential. I for one, feel that this opportunity will find us in a state of less challenge to embrace as it were in the full intent from which it was delivered. What is yet to be validated within more and held collectively is if in fact we must meet the requirement for more involvement in thought and deed -carrying love in the wake of opening eyes on every scene that exposes deceit. Peace is key even over love and acceptance as a changer toward evolving with minimal resistance factors that oppose change for the better.
WE are being supported from within by this presence in this very moment and nothing can counterfeit it with those of us whom are watching on the inner link of heart. Dissolution is the 'what' for now – the process of unfettering loose ends exposing the guts of control; 'How' is still unfolding. What did not yet happen as of this moment is simple math -the appearance of help coming equals the means to evolve our inner technology for higher focus on matters that produce this result. It begins with each and that means you. Find the entrainment of mental clarity within and all that is without will position its truth tomorrow behind the same.
WE are dissolving the boundaries that keep us stagnant and it is only a second more away to yet hold the jewel of this experience we all welcome, most of all me. Continuing the efforts that call on us to act responsibly and practically is a key indicator for en mass action against the already falling scenarios on both sides of this coin. We ARE this campaign of rise and fall.
Let us embrace it as our power of NOW already in motion; the waves for resolve are what is beginning the 'how we will be reaching back into the epicenter of unified need. Revelation to Revolution is where the masses yet stand. Like looking for a resolve or a promise of the same; many have added explosives to the weapon of facts for personal gain without the care for how its target is reached. Revolution to peaceable means has us accept the risk of seeking inner revelations first that lead to collective solutions that rise with no effort at all.
This is when a Revolution of the collective Mind will begin and it then that our brothers and sisters of the sky can return by invitation. It is this that would drive evolutionary actions intending to solve uncertainty by way of the truth that would use exposure and dissolution for right means -the intent of our origins would then be felt and known enough to then close the rabbit holes into which we have fallen.
Blessings to Blossom and to all those in concert of her wondrous transmissions to seed us with hope that is on target for the truth yet unfolding. To me, she is a beacon of light in the face of many options but unique to our Causal to let truth find us. We are at the threshold of an amazing revolutionary step into our Golden Age that we were fully prepared for in the beginning, let us embrace our origins of truth.
Peace to those with listening ears and those on the way
Hey, im mormon..and if your gonna start to make fun of a religon…know your information first.

Dr Looney Bin
What's up Doc? Seen any flying sources lately? The 14th will come and go and for years after we will still be hearing of this day. So she believes in UFO's, not the first time someone has seen one or got messages from one. But what ticks me over is that she is using Love as a cover… shame on you BLOSSOM GOODCHILD you found a way to justify your scheme to riches using the words Love and freedom of choice. I agree with Ray above(below). You are playing with fire and lets hope the people you con will have "Love" to forgive you. Stop it !
I really feel sorry for her, shame. People of earth, hear this… stop with this madness you are playing with fire, and see this for what it is. A medium communicating to other worlds, we were warned about this… close your doors and windows when this sightings appear. Take care and know that this kind of thing was predicted some 2000 years ago. Fools, all of you!
Wow people are gullible. Then again one of the most popular religions out there are Mormons and look how popular that religion is. Maybe these aliens will be from Kolob which god once inhabited but was turned into a black hole so they had to leave. Now they will teach the Mormons how it is really done.
Well, it's now 1:57 am October 14 th 2008 in Alabama and I still don't see them, but i will be looking all night. I am on the night shift and about to go home. I go to bed at 8:00 am….I bet they will come at 8:10…Oh hell I get up…..lol

Mexicana held (02-Aug-2010) an extraordinary meeting to review the carrier's "difficult" financial circumstances and present two options to its unions. After informing the media and general public that the company's financial and labour situation is no longer sustainable, Mexicana pilots' and flight attendants' unions were presented with two alternatives:
- To enter into a new collective contract to secure Mexicana's long-term financial viability with cuts of 41% and 39% in wages and fringe benefits for pilots and flight attendants, respectively. This alternative also calls for additional cost-cutting measures, including downsizing 40% of the airline's pilots and flight attendants;
- Stockholders have offered to sell the carrier to its unions for the token sum of MXN1. The carrier's management have stated that it would be willing to transfer control of the airline to its unions providing the unions assumed liabilities of USD120 million in bank credit lines. The unions would also be given a six-month permit for the use of the Mexicana Airlines brand name, among other measures designed to allow for a smooth transition. [more]
Meanwhile, the carrier also announced plans to suspend a number of California-Mexico services in Aug-2010 including Los Angeles-Puerto Vallarta, Los Angeles-Guadalajara and Sacramento-Guadalajara following reports of the carrier's financial troubles (Los Angeles Times/Sacramento Business Journal, 03-Aug-2010).

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Rugby League Forum' started by Berkeley_Eagle, Nov 11, 2012.
Thoughts ?
Michael Jackson.
Ha, I just saw that and had the same thought. Too bad mate, we don't want you back now!
Who ever it is they've made their bed so sleep in it.
Dave Taylor. End of story.
I too initially thought it TRex. I thought about will I welcome him back if he does want a return and the answer is no.
It's Dave Taylor, Braith Anasta or TRex. They were the only big non-Sharks signings from mid-season.
Dave Taylor IMO T-Rex would be comfortable with Hasler. The Tits are in a bit of a tail spin atm.
Braiffff was in the paper Aswell in tigers gear smiling and looking happy and talking up playing with benji so doubt it's him
Lussick? Remember it is the tele and they do like to make a mountain over a mole hill ( he was on twitter talking about missing te boys and the drive to the Matta - enough for a dt front page )
Sounds about right lsz.
That was my first thought.
Mine was "Why is that doctor spanking my bum?"
Who cares, it doesn't effect Manly one way or the other. If its T-Rex well bad luck to him, the way he played most of the year I am glad he is gone.
Mine was "It's freezing out here, would it kill you to dim the lights?"
seriously..... is there any truth to what was posted or it there and update ? Wouldnt think we would have any cap left unless there is a few about to leave ... Think there Horo signing is a great one
Grave rhymes with Dave.
.mmmm,could be a few tayles going around about that one


text: After thank you's performance last Saturday, my mom took all 3 kids and I to thank you's favorite restaurant. I wound up sitting next to Wiz, something he usually works to avoid. During the course of dinner, he made it clear that no matter what I said, I was wrong. He didn't have a fit or anything, would just go on and on about how whatever my comment was was 'misinformed'. I didn't challenge him because there would have been no gain to it. To say absolutely anything, including to give the waiter my order, I had to speak over him. The waiter actually started to walk away when we ordered drinks because of the way wiz told him we were done ordering them when he knew full well that I had not ordered a drink yet. How do I know? The look he gave me spoke volums. Wiz made several comments about Jess that really bothered me. I have been going over them in my head trying to figure out exactly why they bothered me. Today it hit me. Wiz seems to believe that we didn't show him any attention, give him any of our time, spend any of our funds on him from the moment Jess was born. It totally boggles my mind because it is so far from reality. reality is that when we only had 2 kids, he got 75% of the time we had to spend with the kids and she got the rest. The vast majority of her toys and books were either given to her by others, or were his castoffs. If we bought her a toy, new or used, he broke it within 24 hrs for years. We didn't have much $ to spend on toys and my mom sent a box of books and toys at least three times a month. 90% of those boxes were for Wiz only, but usually he only remembered the 10% that were not for him. When thank you was born Wiz still got more than half of our time and attention. This isn't a rough guesstimate. I went over journals and records and photos and he is the star of most of them, and the only one in the vast majority. He got more one on one time that the other 2 put together, got more gifts, books, stuff, etc... than they did. Maybe once he has his own kids he will gain some understanding. I think I would be really freaking about this, rather than just feeling a bit sad for him, if I hadn't worked on this with my therapist for quite some time. I hope he can work through this, and maybe someday realize that just because we didn't allow him to hurt Jess (when we knew about it) and because we gave her some of our time and attention and resources did NOT mean we did not love him. Otherwise his life will be very very strange. Esp if/when he has a second child. I am truly proud of the way he has turned many things around, esp his behavior, but I really hope and pray that someday he can see how skewed his perceptions are, and figure out a way to deal with his problems regarding his siblings. They are not so much problems with Jess and/or thank you as problems iwth actually having siblings at all. Who knew that giving your child siblings would be something he was angry about for decades?

Copper Canyon on the Radio
Two days ago I heard local Champaign Urbana radio WDWS hosts Dave Gentry and Elizabeth Hess talking about the new State Department warnings for Mexico. I emailed them and made a shot at shedding a bit of light and truth on the real situation for tours to Copper Canyon and just how safe they are.
They graciously invited me to come on their show this morning and gave me ten minutes or so of the show to talk about my Copper Canyon trips, "Walk Across Juarez", and the State Department deal.

To compare the effects of true and sham acupuncture in relieving symptoms of IBS.
A total of 230 adult IBS patients (75% females, average age 38.4 yrs) were randomly assigned to 3 weeks of true or sham acupuncture (6 treatments) following a 3 week 'run-in' with sham acupuncture in an 'augmented' or 'limited' patient-practitioner interaction. A third arm of the study included a waitlist control group. The primary outcome was the IBS Global Improvement Scale (IBS-GIS) (range 1–7); secondary outcomes included IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS), Adequate Relief (IBS-AR) and IBS-Quality of life (IBS-QOL).
Though there was no statistically significant difference between acupuncture and sham acupuncture on the IBS-GIS (41% vs. 32%, p=0.25), both groups improved significantly compared to the wait list control group (37% vs. 4%, p=0.001). Similarly, small differences that were not statistically significant favored acupuncture on the other three outcomes: IBS-AR (59% vs 57%, p=0.83), IBS-SSS (31% vs 21%, p=0.18) and IBS-QOL (17% vs 13%, p=0.56). Eliminating responders during the run-in period did not substantively change the results. Side effects were generally mild and only slightly greater in the acupuncture group.
This study did not find evidence to support the superiority of acupuncture compared to sham acupuncture in the treatment of IBS.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic or recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort, usually in the lower abdomen, which is associated with disturbed bowel function and feelings of abdominal distention and bloating 1 that are often relieved by defecation. An estimated 10–15% of adults in North America suffer from IBS 2, and it is associated with a significant reduction in health related quality of life 3. IBS is one of the most common reasons for work and school absenteeism 4. Estimates of annual direct and indirect costs associated with IBS exceed 41 billion dollars in major industrial countries 5.
The pathophysiology of IBS includes alterations in intestinal motility, visceral hypersensitivity and abnormalities in the processing of visceral information. Until recently, most therapies for IBS have been directed at a specific intestinal symptom (e.g., diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain) and have not been effective for treating other symptoms associated with IBS. While more recent therapies have shown promise, treatment options for IBS remain limited. Therefore, it is not surprising that many patients with IBS have turned to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) 6 such as acupuncture. In one survey, approximately one half of subjects with IBS reported using CAM 7.
Acupuncture, an ancient traditional Chinese medical practice, is becoming more widely accepted and used in Western society 8. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on a theory of energy or life force ("qi") that runs through the body in channels called meridians. Qi is essential to health, and disruptions of this flow, which are believed to contribute to symptoms and diseases, can be corrected at identifiable anatomical locations ("acupoints") with acupuncture. In IBS, acupuncture is believed to alter visceral sensation and motility by stimulating the somatic nervous system and the vagus nerve 9–11.
A 2006 Cochrane Database article reviewed 6 randomized trials using acupuncture in IBS12. The studies were generally of poor quality, included relatively small numbers of patients, and differed significantly in acupuncture method utilized. Limitations notwithstanding, this review found inconclusive evidence as to whether acupuncture is superior to sham acupuncture in IBS. Subsequently, Schneider et al. 13 published the results of a well conducted study in which 43 IBS patients were randomized to acupuncture or sham acupuncture. There was no significant difference between the response rates in patients receiving acupuncture and sham acupuncture on a specific quality of life measurement for functional bowel digestive disorders (FBDDQL) 14 although patients in both groups improved significantly compared to baseline.
Our study comparing acupuncture to sham acupuncture was nested within a larger study examining the impact of the patient-practitioner interaction in IBS patients. In this larger study, which served as the run-in period for our study, participants were randomized to three weeks of: 1) waitlist, 2) sham acupuncture (twice a week) with a 'limited' patient-practitioner encounter, or 3) sham acupuncture (twice a week) with an 'augmented' patient-practitioner encounter (i.e, a warm, friendly, and supportive patient-practitioner interaction). The results of this three-week run-in are reported elsewhere 15. After three weeks, participants receiving sham acupuncture were seamlessly and unknowingly re-randomized to continue for another three weeks on either acupuncture or sham acupuncture with the same 'limited' or 'augmented' patient-practitioner encounter that they had received during the run-in phase of the trial. This second three week period comprises the acupuncture study reported here.
The aims of this trial were threefold: 1) to determine if acupuncture provides greater relief of IBS symptoms than sham acupuncture or waitlist control, 2), to determine if eliminating patients who responded to sham acupuncture during the run-in period (i.e., patients who responded to sham acupuncture during the 3 weeks prior to randomization to acupuncture or sham acupuncture) widens the response rate differences between acupuncture and sham acupuncture, perhaps to the point of statistical significance, and 3) to determine if an 'augmented' patient-practitioner interaction enhances the difference in response rates between acupuncture and sham acupuncture.
In the larger trial 262 IBS-patients were randomized to a 3 week run-in of either: 1) waitlist (observation), 2) sham acupuncture (2 sessions per week) with a 'limited' patient-practitioner encounter, or 3) sham acupuncture (2 sessions per week) with an 'augmented' patient-practitioner encounter (i.e, a warm, friendly, and supportive patient-practitioner relationship). The larger study explored the effects of placebo and patient-practitioner relationship in IBS and is reported elsewhere 16.
For this study, at the end of week 3 patients who had received sham acupuncture were blindly re-randomized to either acupuncture or continuation of sham acupuncture. This randomization was stratified by the group assignment for the run-in period (augmented versus limited) and by the post run-in pain score (under 30 versus 30 or over on a 100-point visual analog scale). Patients continued with the same 'limited' or augmented' patient-practitioner interaction that they had received during the first 3 weeks of the study. Patients were unaware that only sham acupuncture had been administered during the run-in phase of this study and similarly were unaware of the existence of different patient-practitioner interactions. Patients who were initially in the waitlist control group continued on in this group. Figure 1 reviews the flow of patients through this study.
Treatment and study assessments were performed at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's General Clinical Research Center (GCRC). The Institutional Review Boards at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School approved the design and all participants provided informed consent.
Participants were recruited from advertisements in media, fliers, and referrals from health professionals 17. All subjects were at least 18 years old and met the Rome II criteria for IBS 18 . In addition, the diagnosis of IBS was confirmed by a board certified gastroenterologist experienced in functional bowel disorders (AJL) who also assessed for 'warning symptoms' (unexplained weight loss, family history of colon cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, and rectal bleeding) 19, 20. Participants were allowed to continue their IBS medications (e.g., fiber, anti-spasmodics, loperamide) as long as they had been on stable doses for at least 30 days prior to entering the study and agreed not to change medications or dosages during the trial. Patients were also asked not to make significant changes to their diet during the study. Patients were excluded if they had previously received acupuncture, if they had abdominal surgery (excluding cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hysterectomy, hernia repair), or if they were on narcotics or other pain medications (except non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
For this study we used a manualized acupuncture protocol that combined a fixed number of always used acupuncture points and a menu of optional points that could be applied based on the participant's Chinese medicine diagnosis 21. This method allows for reproducibility and also the flexibility that many acupuncturists claim is critical for their practice. Accordingly, we chose 6 main fixed acupoints and 11 optional points, which could be selected based on a traditional Chinese acupuncture diagnosis of the individual patient by the acupuncturist. This regimen was developed by a consensus team of eight senior acupuncturists, each with over 15 years of experience. The fixed points are very commonly used in IBS patients and included: Conception Vessel 10, Stomach 25, Liver 3, Spleen 4, Pericardium 6 and Stomach 37. The optional points were Stomach 36 and Conception Vessel 4 (for the Chinese diagnosis of deficiency), Large Intestine 4 Liver 14, (for stagnant qi or energy), Stomach 40, Large Intestine 11 (for dampness), Stomach 27 (for cold), Conception Vessel 12 (for "retention of food"), Gall Bladder 34 (for "damp heat") and Spleen 10 and Spleen 6 (for "blood stasis"). The optional points were extensively discussed by the acupuncture team and were selected based by a shared understanding of Chinese medicine differential diagnosis. If the acupuncturist felt strongly that a fixed main point would be less desirable than an optimal point, they were allowed to replace a single fixed point with an optional point. The sensation of grasping the energy ( "de qi") was obtained and the needles were left in place for twenty minutes 22. Acupuncture treatment procedures were reviewed in regular team meetings.
In this study we used Streitberger needles 23, a validated sham acupuncture device. This device has been shown to be indistinguishable from an actual acupuncture device; the 'needle' does not pierce the skin but creates the illusion of doing so as it retracts into a hollow handle. Streitberger and true acupuncture needles were applied for an identical period of time. To avoid acupuncture pressure effect, sham needles were placed over predetermined 'non-acupuncture' points in the relative vicinity of the genuine points. Our team's precise method of using the sham needles is extensively described elsewhere 24.
During the placebo run-in phase, acupuncturists were instructed to select at least five and a maximum of eleven 'non-acupuncture' points as if they were actually performing a genuine points. They were also encouraged to slightly switch or adjust their point selection within the parameters of the study protocol from treatment to treatment (which is what would usually happen regular practice). These maneuvers were done in order that patients who were randomized to genuine acupuncture would experience identical procedures in terms of number of needles and the attention of the acupuncturists when switched from placebo to genuine treatment. Of course, patients were entirely blind to the run-in phase of the trial and were unaware of any change from sham to genuine treatment in the protocol.
Four licensed acupuncturists, each with over 2,000 hours of professional training and over four years of post-graduate experience, performed the acupuncture in this study. The method used for their training and supervision is described elsewhere 25. Before the study began, all acupuncturists agreed that the therapeutic intervention they were to perform was an effective form of acupuncture.
Patients continued to receive the same patient-practitioner interaction (i.e., 'limited' or 'augmented' relationship) as they had received in the initial three-week run-in. The details of the two scripted patient-practitioner interactions are reported elsewhere 16. The random assignment of interactions across treatment arms allowed for a secondary comparison of acupuncture versus sham acupuncture, each with two different styles of patient-practitioner interaction without compromising the outcome of our primary study objective.
The a priori primary endpoint of the study was the Global Improvement Scale (IBS-GIS) that asked participants: "Compared to the way you felt before you entered the study, have your IBS symptoms over the past 7 days been: 1) "Substantially Worse", 2)"Moderately Worse, 3)"Slightly Worse", 4)"No Change", 5)"Slightly Improved", 6)"Moderately Improved" or 7) "Substantially Improved" 26, 27. A responder was defined as a patient who answered either "moderately improved" or "substantially improved" to the foregoing question.
Secondary outcomes measured in this study were IBS Adequate Relief (IBS-AR) 28, 29, IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS) 30, and IBS Quality of Life Scale (IBS-QOL) 31, 32.
IBS-AR is a dichotomous single item that asks participants "Over the past week have you had adequate relief of your IBS symptoms?" This type of outcome has been used extensively to assess efficacy in IBS clinical trials 33, 34 and has been shown to correlate with improvement in individual IBS symptoms 28. A responder was defined as a patient who answered this question affirmatively.
The IBS-SSS contains five questions that are rated on a 100-point visual analogue scale (VAS): the severity of abdominal pain, the frequency of abdominal pain, the severity of abdominal distention, dissatisfaction with bowel habits, and interference with quality of life 30. All five components contribute to the score equally yielding a theoretical range of 0–500, with a higher score indicating a worse condition. Previous studies have established that scores below 175 represent mild IBS symptoms, 175–300 represents moderate severity, and scores above 300 represent severe IBS 30. A decrease of 50 points on the IBS-SSS has been shown to correlate with improvement in clinical symptoms. We, therefore, defined patients with a decrease of 50 points or more on the IBS-SSS as responders in this study.
The IBS-QOL is a 34-item measure assessing the degree to which IBS interferes with patient's quality of life. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale and all items are summed. The total score is then converted linearly to a 100 point scale, with higher scores indicating improved quality of life 35.. In accordance with a study by Drossman et al., we defined responders as patients whose IBS-QOL scores improved by 10 points or more from baseline 36.
For the primary endpoint, our sample size afforded 80% power to detect a percentage point difference in responder rates. Chi square tests of independence were used to determine whether significant differences existed between groups in the proportion of responders. In addition, where possible (i.e., for continuous measures), we also used parametric statistics (t-tests and ANOVA) because of the potential for improved power. All analyses were intent-to-treat, using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method. For clarity, we report here only non-parametric analyses for dichotomous outcomes (i.e., responder vs. non-responder). Except where noted in the text, parametric tests yielded similar results. All tests were two-tailed with alpha set at .05.
Between December 2003 and February 2006, we screened 350 prospective participants and enrolled 262 into the study. Of the 262 potential patients, 32 patients (5 in the 'augmented' arm; 17 in the 'limited' arm; and 10 in the waitlist arm) discontinued the trial during the first three weeks (i.e., prior to randomization between acupuncture and sham acupuncture). Thus, 230 patients entered into the study reported here. Table 1 displays these patient characteristics by treatment group.
On the IBS-GIS 41% of patients who received acupuncture were responders (i.e., 'moderate' or 'substantial' improvement in their IBS symptoms during the preceding week), while 32% of patients who received sham acupuncture were responders (p=0.25). Although more of the acupuncture recipients were responders than sham acupuncture recipients, the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.25) (Figure 2). Similar non-statistically significant differences were seen in the responder rates for IBS-AR, IBS-QOL and IBS-SSS (Figure 2).
We had hoped that removing patients who responded to sham acupuncture during the 3 week run-in phase of the trial would diminish the response rate to sham acupuncture during the second 3 week phase of the trial and, therefore, widen the gap between acupuncture responders and sham acupuncture responders. However, contrary to our expectations, the gap between acupuncture responders and sham acupuncture responders narrowed for our primary outcome measure the IBS-GIS (24% vs. 25%, p=0. 96). Similarly, removing responders for the each of the secondary endpoints at the end of the run-in phase also did not yield statistically significant differences between acupuncture and sham acupuncture in the IBS-AR (33% vs 24%, p=.42), IBS-SSS (36% vs 21%, p=0.20) and IBS-QOL (18% vs. 11% p =0.53).
Patients receiving acupuncture or sham acupuncture were more likely to be responders on the IBS-GIS than patients in the waitlist control group (37% vs. 4%, p<.001) (Figure 2). Likewise, patients receiving acupuncture or sham acupuncture versus those on the waitlist control were significantly more likely to be responders on the IBS-AR (58% vs. 35%, p<.001) and IBS-SSS (26% vs. 14%, p=.04). There was a numerical but not a significant difference for IBS-QOL (15% vs. 12%, p=.49) between those receiving acupuncture or sham acupuncture versus waitlist control.
For the IBS-GIS in both a limited and an augmented patient-practitioner interaction, acupuncture showed a slight, non statistically significant superiority to sham acupuncture (Table 2). Since the difference in response rates between augmented acupuncture and augmented sham acupuncture and between limited acupuncture and limited sham acupuncture is similar, the interaction in which acupuncture is delivered does not appear to affect its superiority over sham acupuncture. Similar results were seen for the secondary endpoints with the exception of the IBS-QOL in the 'limited' acupuncture arm.
Three adverse events were reported during the acupuncture vs sham acupuncture phase of the study: 1) painful foot cramp following treatment (sham acupuncture), 2) nausea/hip pain (true acupuncture), and 3) rib pain after a fall (sham acupuncture). All of the events were considered to be unrelated to the study procedure.
Our study is the largest RCT with acupuncture to be performed in IBS. Our results demonstrated that acupuncture and sham acupuncture are not significantly different in improving the symptoms of IBS, although both treatments are significantly better than no treatment (i.e., waitlist). Eliminating responders in the run-in phase of the study in which patients received only sham acupuncture had no substantive effect on the outcome. Finally, the context of the patient-practitioner interaction (i.e., a warm friendly and supportive relationship ('augmented') or a neutral ('limited') relationship) also did not modify the difference in responder rates between acupuncture and sham acupuncture.
Our findings are consistent with the majority of trials of acupuncture in IBS included in the recent Cochrane Database Review 12 and the subsequent study by Schneider and colleagues 13 from Germany. Like our trial, the German study found a numerically small superiority of improvement in patients receiving acupuncture compared to patients receiving sham acupuncture. The German study included 43 patients and estimated that if acupuncture had efficacy beyond placebo the number of patients needed to adequately power such a study to be 566; we found the number of patients needed to adequately power such a study to be approximately 970. Importantly, in contrast to the study by Schneider and colleagues 13, which did not have a waitlist control (or standard of care) arm, our study found response rates in patients receiving acupuncture and sham acupuncture to be superior to that of patients in a waitlist control. This demonstrates unequivocally that symptom improvement was not the result of natural history or regression to the mean. Our findings are consistent with the results of recent large German acupuncture trials for other illnesses, such as chronic low back pain 37, tension-type headache 38, migraine 39, 40, and osteoarthritis of the knee 41 in which acupuncture and sham acupuncture were not different in efficacy but both were superior to no treatment or standard of care. In April 2006, the German health authorities decided to reimburse for acupuncture for low back pain and osteoarthritis of the knee (but not for headache or other types of osteoarthritis) based on the beneficial effects over no treatment or standard of care and its potential cost savings 42–44.
We had hoped that removing patients who had responded to sham acupuncture during the 3 week run-in phase of the trial would diminish the response rate to sham acupuncture during the second 3 week phase of the trial and, therefore, widen the gap between acupuncture responders and sham acupuncture responders. However, our results do not show a widening of the gap. In fact, contrary to expectations, the difference between acupuncture responders and sham acupuncture responders actually narrowed for our primary outcome measure (IBS-GIS) and the IBS-SSS. Our findings support other studies that have also failed to find increased efficiency in detecting intervention-placebo differences with the removal of placebo responders during a run-in phase 45, 46.
Our study had several limitations. First, 6 treatments of acupuncture over 3 weeks may have been insufficient to achieve maximum effect from acupuncture. Second, this study was nested in a larger study designed to evaluate the effects of patient-practitioner interaction in IBS. Thus, a run-in phase occurred prior to randomization between acupuncture and sham acupuncture, which had a significant drop-out rate and thereby decreased the power of our study. Also, some might object to our manualized approach to acupuncture treatment and argue for either a full standardized protocol or a totally flexible protocol. We feel that our manualized procedure is as close to actual clinical practice as reproducibility will allow. Last, there is debate in the acupuncture literature if sham acupuncture, although indistinguishable from acupuncture, is indeed ineffective. The mechanism of acupuncture is unknown and sham acupuncture may be a less effective form of acupuncture 47.
In summary, although our study failed to show a statistically significant superiority of acupuncture over sham acupuncture in the treatment of IBS, patients receiving both acupuncture and sham acupuncture improved significantly compared to waitlist control.

Brown Baggin' It….cont'd (again ;) )
So, I've made progress this week! Amid racking my brain for my business, taking orders, and working on orders, I've saved my late nights for my Brown Bag quilt. This weekend I'm gonna be taking some naps for sure!
I sliced up some fabric and made some strip sets, laid them out here so you could see how they work together. 🙂
No basket weaves here, people. Just seeing how it works together, and making sure the black makes enough of a statement. Next order of duty, cut these babies up!
Aaaannnnddddd sew them back together again! 🙂
How am I able to do this at night, when the house is quiet, and no one is calling, "Momma?"
Say hello to my friend….
Yeah, baby! I'm starting to piece the blocks now, just have to decide how to set them, may have to ask for some help from someone with an analytical mind. 😉 Later, gator!

I've been talking to this girl for 3 weeks now and we have been on 2 dates already. I keep catching myself wondering why does this girl not respond to texts quickly, or over analyzing everything and thinking whether or not she likes me. We message often and we have kissed before, but i simply don't know how not to get attached to quickly. I have not said I like her , (at least to her, because i do) because i don't want to come out too strong so early on; And in case this doesn't work out for me not to be hurt.
Most Helpful Girl
Just focus on work/school, have your own life. Get together with friends. Work on your hobbies. It's attractive when you have your own interests.
Would you look at mine please? Thanks!
