Brisbane, Australia (PressExposure) September 03, 2009 -- Nadine Gillespie-Mckie, a dedicated primary school teacher from Laidley, plus 30 other Australians have signed up for a fearsome bike challenge spanning 800 kilometres in January 2010. Riding from Bangkok to Khao Lak (Phuket, Thailand), the team is raising money and awareness for the Hands Across the Water Australia (Hands) Charity.
Hands Across the Water Australia was founded by Peter Baines in October 2005, following his work in Thailand in response to the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004.
Hands is one of Australiaâs fastest growing charity, created to support the children who were orphaned by the tragic 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, with every cent raised going directly to the children. Not one cent of money donated will be spent on administration.
Each member of the team is committed to raising at least $10,000 to support the Hands initiative and have already started their training for the January 2010 trek. Nadine Gillespie-McKie is excited about the effort and says that the group is dedicated to doing something positive and meaningful for the orphaned children. They know the money will not bring the childrensâ parents back however it will help them attain opportunities that would otherwise be out of their reach.
âWhen I became aware of the circumstances these kids were in, as an early childhood teacher and mother; I immediately decided to do whatever I could personally to help. I am overwhelmed to think that the money we raise will support so many children at many different levels including the running costs of the orphanage and help to build a new community centre for the region.â She said.
Nadine, her fellow cycling members and the dedicated team at Handsâ are seeking support from Australians everywhere to boost the teamâs fundraising efforts as well as increase the awareness of Handsâ abroad.
If you would like to support Nadine and Hands, donations can be made online at https://www.bpoint.com.au/epages/handsacrosswater.sf/?BillerCode=2015925&Ref1=Nadine%20Gillespie-McKie

CANCER: Causes, Treatment, natural cures
: A Powerful Healing Agent Used in Cancer Treatment but Censored in U.S.
12/27/16 - DMSO is a well-studied healing compound, but virtually unknown to the public. Why?
Technically its known as
dimethyl sulphoxide,
and its physiological properties were accidentally discovered well before its medical applications were researched in the 1960s and publicized in the 1970s. It soon became a controversial cancer treatment or adjunct to chemotherapy that is now mostly suppressed in the USA.
Russian scientist Alexander Zaytsev discovered DMSO as an industrial solvent by oxygenating dimethyl sulfide. Yet it was around 100 years later that Dr. Stanley Jacob at the Oregon Health and Science University Medical School discovered highly purified DMSO could penetrate skin and organ membranes without damaging them.
Then in the 1970s, even mainstream media was reporting DMSO as a promising safe and highly effective curing agent for several maladies. There were studies demonstrating DMSOs ability as a powerful adjunct for orthodox chemo therapies and even a promising natural solution for curing cancer by itself. Heres a good DMSO presentation on a 1970s CBS 60 Minutes feature, highlighting the work of Dr. Stanley Jacob.
Dr. Jacob earned his Medical Degree from Ohio State University in 1948, graduating cum laude. He also completed a Research Fellowship at Harvard Medical School from December 1950 September 1952. He went on to teach surgery at Harvard Medical School. His full list of credentials can be viewed here.
In 1982 Dr. Jacob was a defendant in a Federal conspiracy trial for allegedly participating in a scheme to gain Government approval of dimethyl sulfoxide, popularly known as DMSO. The jury was deadlocked and the judge dismissed the case as a mistrial. (Source.)
But since the publicity in the 1970s and 1980s, interest has waned to the point of inexpensive DMSOs disappearing from even the alternative health movements webscape. Thats unfortunate. Heres why its almost disappeared from public awareness and why it should be brought up again.
Green tea
appears to ward off some cancers in women
Older women who regularly drunk green tea may have slightly lower risks of colon, stomach and throat cancers than women who don't, according to a Canadian study that followed thousands of Chinese women over a decade.
The researchers, whose report appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that of the more than 69,000 women, those who drank green tea at least three times a week were 14 percent less likely to develop a cancer of the digestive system.
The study adds to debate over the impact of green tea on cancer risks. Past studies have so far come to conflicting findings on whether green tea drinkers really do have lower cancer risks.
"In this large prospective cohort study, tea consumption was associated with reduced risk of colorectal and stomach/esophageal cancers in Chinese women," wrote study leader Wei Zheng, who heads epidemiology at Vanderbilt University school of Medicine in Nashville, and his colleagues.

DCA, a Cure for Cancer discovered
Canadian researchers published preliminary data on the effects a compound called DCA (Dichloroacetate) in treating cancer.
While this information was initially very promising, little official progress has been made, because there is no funding available for clinical research in the United States.
DCA is commercially accessible and may be used successfully in cancer treatment protocols, but it should always be used under the care of a physician.
DCA is a chemical compound that is analogous to the common household product acetic acid (vinegar).
Early human testing results from a clinic that is useing the stuff, stats and all.
This video presentation is an EYE-POPPER!
The documentary is about a MD curing cancer and being persecuted by the FDA.I am not a MD and cant tell you what to do to your body.I can tell you that if you are diagnosed with cancer, research the prescribed treatment before beginning it.
Did You Know That Taking A Daily Garlic Supplement Protects You From Mosquito Bites?
Here in Florida, where it is moist and humid all the time, mosquitos are everywhere. Yet I rarely get more than a bite per year because the garlic I take is a natural insect repellant. I watch with a wry smile as people around me slather their skin with cancer-causing chemicals like DDT to keep the bugs off, urging them to use garlic instead.
Here in Florida, where it is moist and humid all the time, mosquitos are everywhere. And they dont like garlic.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 (KJV)
For thousands of years, people have been improving their health by taking raw, cooked and supplemented garlic. As you will see in a moment, the list of its beneficial properties is truly astounding. But we also want to tell you about one benefit you may not be aware of it wards off mosquito and bug bite attacks, too!
Researchers in Brazil announced Thursday the presence of the Zika virus in Culex mosquitoes (the common house mosquito) in the eastern city of Recife. The findings were released with a word of caution: The obtained data will require additional studies in order to assess the potential participation of Culex in the spread of Zika and its role in the epidemic. The Zika Virus has pa lot of people in a panic, and to protect themselves they are applied chemical-based bug repellant on their skin which is not always a good thing. Garlic can help.
Top 10 Actually Proven Health Benefits of Garlic:
For the past two decades, I have personally taken between 600 mg 1800 mg of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract on a daily basis. This was worked to keep my blood pressure and cholesterol naturally low, as well as bolster my immune system. And it also has kept me nearly bug bite-free in all that time as well. Here in Florida, where it is moist and humid all the time, mosquitos are everywhere. Yet I rarely get more than a bite per year because the garlic I take is also a natural insect repellant. I watch with a wry smile as people around me slather their skin with cancer-causing chemicals like DDT to keep the bugs off, urging them to use garlic instead.
If you are worried about catching a blood-borne illness from insect bites, you better start talking garlic right away. And here are some of the more traditional and well-known benefits of daily garlic supplementation:
Cardiovascular Benefits: Garlics numerous beneficial cardiovascular effects are due to not only its sulfur compounds, but also to its vitamin C, vitamin B6, selenium and manganese. Garlic is a very good source of vitamin C, the bodys primary antioxidant defender in all aqueous (water-soluble) areas, such as the bloodstream, where it protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation. Since it is the oxidized form of LDL cholesterol that initiates damage to blood vessel walls, reducing levels of oxidizing free radicals in the bloodstream can have a profound effect on preventing cardiovascular disease. Garlics vitamin B6 helps prevent heart disease via another mechanism: lowering levels of homocysteine. An intermediate product of an important cellular biochemical process called the methylation cycle, homocysteine can directly damage blood vessel walls. The selenium in garlic can become an important part of our bodys antioxidant system. A cofactor of glutathione peroxidase(one of the bodys most important internally produced antioxidant enzymes), selenium also works with vitamin E in a number of vital antioxidant systems. Garlic is rich not only in selenium, but also in another trace mineral, manganese, which also functions as a cofactor in a number of other important antioxidant defense enzymes, for example, superoxide dismutase. Studies have found that in adults deficient in manganese, the level of HDL (the good form of cholesterol) is decreased.
Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: Our cardiovascular system is not the only body system that may be able to benefit from garlics anti-inflammatory properties. Theres preliminary evidence (mostly from animal studies, and mostly based on garlic extracts rather than whole food garlic) that our our musculoskeletal system and respiratory system can also benefit from anti-inflammatory compounds in garlic. Both the diallyl sulfide (DAS) and thiacremonone in garlic have been shown to have anti-arthritic properties. And in the case of allergic airway inflammation, aged garlic extract has been show to improve inflammatory conditions (once again in animal studies).
Cholesterol Levels: Most of the research on garlic and our cardiovascular system has been conducted on garlic powder, garlic oil, or aged garlic extracts rather than garlic in food form. But despite this research limitation, food studies on garlic show this allium vegetable to have important cardioprotective properties. Garlic is clearly able to lower our blood triglycerides and total cholesterol, even though this reduction can be moderate (5-15%). In addition to the ability of garlic to help prevent our blood vessels from becoming blocked, this allium vegetable may also be able to help prevent clots from forming inside of our blood vessels. This cardiovascular protection has been linked to one particular disulfide in garlic called ajoene. Ajoene has repeatedly been shown to have anti-clotting properties. It can help prevent certain cells in our blood (called platelets) from becoming too sticky, and by keeping this stickiness in check, it lowers the risk of our platelets clumping together and forming a clot.
Antibacterial and Antiviral Benefits: From a medical history standpoint, the antibacterial and antiviral properties of garlic are perhaps its most legendary feature. This allium vegetable and its constituents have been studied not only for their benefits in controlling infection by bacteria and viruses, but also infection from other microbes including yeasts/fungi and worms. (One particular disulfide in garlic, called ajoene, has been successfully used to help prevent infections with the yeast Candida albicans.) Very recent research has shown the ability of crushed fresh garlic to help prevent infection by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa in burn patients. Also of special interest has been the ability of garlic to help in the treatment of bacterial infections that are difficult to treat due to the presence of bacteria that have become resistant to prescription antibiotics. However, most of the research on garlic as an antibiotic has involved fresh garlic extracts or powdered garlic products rather than fresh garlic in whole food form.Overgrowth of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori in the stomacha key risk factor for stomach ulcerhas been another key area of interest for researchers wanting to explore garlics antibacterial benefits. Results in this area, however, have been mixed and inconclusive. While garlic may not be able to alter the course of infection itself, there may still be health benefits from garlic in helping to regulate the bodys response to that infection.
Cancer Prevention:A high intake of garlic (roughly translated as daily intake of this food) has been found to lower risk of virtually all cancer types except cancer of the prostate and breast cancer. However, moderate intake of garlic (roughly translated as several times per week) has been repeatedly found to lower risk of only two cancer typescolorectal and renal cancer. This difference between high versus moderate garlic intake may be a real difference that suggests we all need to eat more garlic if we want to maximize its cancer-related benefits. Or it may be a difference that is more related to research complications involving the options given to research participants when reporting their food intake. Still, garlic has a consistent track record with respect to general anti-cancer benefits, and there are good research reasons for classifying garlic as an anti-cancer food. source
The best part about taking garlic in supplement form from the the Kyolic company is that there is no odor attached to it, yet all the potency remains. (NTEB receives no compensation, financial or otherwise, from the Kyolic corporation.)
Garlic has many health benefits!
Cancer Boy Ran Away from Chemo 20 Years Ago
He is Alive and Well Due to Alternative Solutions
In 1994, a nationwide TV News stir took over the airwaves featuring a cancer riddled teenage runaway with parents pleading for his return. The runaways name was Billy Best, and he returned home on one condition: No chemo! He and his parents went alternative.
Now, he is very healthy and cancer-free, back home working in a local health food store, consulting parents of children who are pushed into chemo and participating in medical school seminars on patient choice. He continues to be interviewed by alternative news sites whenever a story breaks on families having to become fugitives for refusing chemo and radiation on their children. He and his mom have a site, too, which can be found here.
Now, he also has a book out, as told to writer Linda Conti. Its called The Billy Best Story: Beating Cancer with Alternative Medicine, and it has mostly five-star rave reviews on Amazon.
Billys Story Summarized
From the bits and pieces of media coverage since the time Billy ran off, one gets the impression that Billy wound up in California. And from there he discovered cancer-healing protocols for his Hodgkins lymphoma. But actually, he never reached California. That was his Greyhound bus destination originally, but he wound up in Houston, TX.
Instead of roaming the streets as many run-away teens do, he was fortunate enough to meet up with fellow skateboarders who helped house him. Billy had no idea of there was a nationwide hunt for his return. His parents had contacted several national news outlets out of concern for his whereabouts and health.
But one day, the father of one of Billys skateboarder buddies said he saw Billy on one of the TV shows featuring his runaway from home after five chemo treatments. So Billy decided to return home with one provision: no chemotherapy.
Instead, he would decide on alternative methods. His nationwide exposure had elicited many suggestions from which he could choose.
Billy Chose Gaston Naessens 714X and Essiac Tea
Gaston Naessens had fled France to be able to administer injections of 714X in Quebec, Canada, but soon ran into problems there also.
His solution of camphor, nitrogen and mineral salts is still manufactured in Canada, but its use is banned in North America.
Billy was taught how to inject it himself in nearby Canada, where he could purchase it and still perform occasional maintenance injections.
Like potent hemp or cannabis oil, 714-X is on the Medical Mafias no-no list and is difficult to get and administer.
Another integral part of Billys recovery lied with Essiac tea a powerful tea that has treated thousands of cancer patients.
As long as its not promoted as a cure, Essiac tea is very inexpensive and widely available
The trick is getting the highest quality herbs and making your own tea. Reports of cancer patients not benefiting from Essiac tea are usually because they used prepared teas purchased off the shelves of health food stores, which ironically are also more expensive than buying the herbs and making it yourself.
But Canadian nurse Rene Caisse cured thousands with the tea from her small-town clinic. After she died, authorities raided her clinic and destroyed all the records they could find. But the teas recipe was discovered by Dr. Gary Glum, D.C., through one of Renes former associates.
Unfortunately, few providers understand the importance of having the exact, fresh organic herbs that Caisse used. Cheating even a little corrupts this tea too much. Its my experience that you can be assured of the highest quality herbs and instructions for making the tea here (http://renecaissetea.com).
Queers report higher cancer rates
A large study in California found that cancer may be nearly twice as prevalent among gay men as among straight men. The study relied on self-reported data from the California Health Interview survey, the largest state survey of its kind in the United States, and included more than 120,000 people over three years: 2001, 2003 and 2005.
A total of 3,690 men reported a cancer diagnosis as adults. Gay men were 1.9 times as likely as straight men to have been diagnosed with cancer, said the study published in the peer-reviewed journal Cancer.
There was no such difference witnessed among lesbian and straight women, but gay and bisexual females were twice as likely to say they were in fair or poor health after a cancer diagnosis compared to their heterosexual counterparts.
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet
Links Between Obesity and Cancer
While obesity is often associated with a host of other health issues including high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack, a new study is examining how the condition is also related to cancer risk.
A review of several studies published today in the New England Journal of Medicine found new associations between obesity the development of eight additional cancers, in addition to others previously known.
Researchers from the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) looked at more than 1,000 epidemiological studies and found that "excess body fatness" is also linked to the risk of developing gastric, liver, gallbladder, pancreatic, ovarian, thyroid, blood (multiple myeloma) and brain (meningioma) cancers.
"I think the main takeaway point is that your health and specifically your body fatness is an important factor for many types of cancer," Dr. Richard Lee, Medical Director of the Integrative and Supportive Oncology Program at the University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, told ABC News.
"Patients should understand that they can decrease the risk for developing cancer and improving overall survivorship," by keeping their weight below obesity thresholds, he said. This information can help doctors advising patients on cancer risk, he added.
Researchers in this study also attempted to quantify the risk for obese people to develop this variety of cancers. They found obese people had 1.8 times the risk for developing liver cancer, 4.8 times as high for esophageal adenocarcinoma, and 7.1 times as high for uterine cancer. They also confirmed that for some of these cancers, as your weight goes up, so does the risk.
People may not always connect being overweight to cancer risk in the manner they associate drinking or smoking with increased risk of cancer, Lee noted.
"The public hasn't been educated enough that it is a significant risk factor," he said. "I see patients who are interested in ways they can reduce overall cancer [risk]. I always tell them the first place to start is nutrition and exercise and physical fitness."
This is one of the most comprehensive studies on cancer and obesity to date, according to Dr. Xiao Ou Shu, Associate Director for Global Health at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. He believes it could help educate the public that being overweight isn't only about cardiac problems.
"I think that the public has been informed about the potential risk for cancer associated with obesity, but there has been much more information disseminated about cardiovascular disease risk than cancer risk," Ou Shu told ABC News.
One positive discovery from this study the authors found is that obese people who lose weight appear to reduce their cancer risk.
"Lifestyle factors such as eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight and exercising, in addition to not smoking, can have a significant impact on reducing cancer risk," Graham Colditz, MD, Dr PH and deputy director of the School of Public Health at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who chaired the IARC Working Group, said in a statement. "Public health efforts to combat cancer should focus on these things that people have some control over."
Kidney and thyroid cancer rates up among U.S. children
- But these pediatric cancers remain rare and the increases are very small.
Although the overall rate of cancer in American children and teens remained stable during the last decade, rates of thyroid cancer and kidney cancer seemed to be on the rise, a new study says.
The rate of thyroid cancer saw annual increases of nearly 5 percent and a specific type of kidney cancer, called renal carcinoma, had average increases of 5.4 percent per year, according to the study.
The researchers also found that cancer rates among black children and teens increased 1.3 percent per year. But one doctor not involved with the study said the finding could be a statistical "fluke."
"It's scary to see an increase, but these cancers are overall very rare and the increases very small," said lead researcher Dr. David Siegel, a pediatric hematology/oncology fellow at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
From 2001 to 2009, the overall rate of cancers among children and teens remained stable at about 171 cases per million each year, Siegel noted.
Although the researchers didn't look at the reasons for these increases,
obesity and perhaps exposure to radiation from X-rays or CT scans may have played a role,
he suggested.
Siegel hopes that these findings will encourage investigators to find out the "driving forces behind these increases."
The report was published in the Sept. 8 online edition of the journal Pediatrics.
Dr. Ziad Khatib is director of neuro-oncology at Miami Children's Hospital. He pointed out that "the good news is that there is no overall increase in cancer in children."
Khatib said that the increases in thyroid and kidney cancer are small enough that they might just be a statistical error.
"It could be that we are detecting more of these cancers. Compared to 20 years ago,
we do more MRIs and more ultrasounds
, so we may be catching more of these cancers than we used to," explained Khatib, who was not involved with the study.
Years ago, cancers of the thyroid or kidney might not have been diagnosed until the child was a young adult of 20 or 30, he added.
Khatib said the increase in these cancers might reflect
radiation in the environment
and the increased use of X-rays and CT scans
In addition, chemicals in the environment and those used in processed foods may play a part in the increase
, he suggested.
According to Khatib, effective treatments are available for these types of cancers and the outcomes are generally very good. "They are easily treatable with surgery," he said.
And the rise in cancer among black children might reflect better access to care and therefore earlier diagnosis, Khatib noted. "Time will tell in the next report in 10 years whether this was a fluke or a real increase," he said.
"Cancer is still rare in children," Khatib explained. "So there is no reason to panic."
Khatib added that parents should, however, be concerned about the amount of radiation children get from X-rays and CT scans. In addition, a healthy diet, exercise and not becoming obese all help prevent cancer, he said.
According to the report, the rates of some cancers decreased. A significant 2 percent decrease per year in cancers called extracranial and extragonadal germ cell tumors was also seen. These cancers arise from stray sperm or egg cells that travel to other parts of the body and become cancerous tumors.
Cases of melanoma skin cancer also dropped by almost 4 percent per year, the study found.
For the study, Siegel's team used data from the National Program of Cancer Registries and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results statewide registries.
In all, they identified more than 120,000 cancers among children up to 19 years of age during 2001 to 2009.
Cancer-Causing Chemical Found in 98 Shampoos and Soaps
Tests ordered by an environmental watchdog group revealed the presence of a cancer-causing chemical in dozens of personal care products that lack a warning label required by California law.
The compound, a chemically modified form of coconut oilcocamide diethanolamine (cocamide DEA)is used as a foaming agent or thickener in soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and similar products.
Carcinogenic Ingredients in Your Personal Care Products?
An independent laboratory commissioned by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) tested the products to determine how much cocamide DEA was present. CEH purchased these products after June 2013 from online and local California retailers, such as Trader Joes, Walmart, Kohls, and Babies R Us.
Many of the products tested contained more than 10,000 parts per million (ppm) of cocamide DEA. In all, CEH identified 98 products with cocamide DEA among the ingredients,
none of which carried the warning required by state law
The state has not set a [safety] level specific to cocamide DEA
," says Charles Margulis, Communications Director and Food Program Director of CEH, "
but the levels we found exceed levels typical for carcinogens
What's in Your Beauty Products?
To comply with Californias Proposition 65, companies are still required to provide a "clear and reasonable" warning to consumers when products they sell or produce contain chemicals listed by the state as harmful. This includes compounds known to cause cancer or birth defects.
Cocamide DEA was added to the California list of harmful chemicals in 2012 after the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published its review of the chemicals safety, which was based upon skin exposure tests in animals. "There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of coconut oil diethanolamine condensate," the agency writes.
Environmental Group Files Lawsuit
In response to the laboratory results, the CEH filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against four companiesWalgreens, Lake Consumer Products, Ultimark Products, and Todd Christopher International.
"Our demand is that companies reformulate their products, without cocamide DEA, says Margulis. There are many similar shampoos and soaps on the market made without the chemical, so it is obviously possible to make the products safer."
The CEH also sent legal letters advising more than 100 other companies producing or selling products containing the chemical that their products violate Proposition 65.
In the lawsuit, which was filed in California Superior Court in Alameda County, the CEH accuses the companies of "knowingly and intentionally exposing individuals to cocamide DEA without first giving clear and reasonable warnings to such individuals regarding the carcinogenicity of cocamide DEA."
Dangerous Ingredients to Watch Out For in Cosmetics
The lawsuit asks the court to fine the companies $2,500 a day for each violation and prevent them from selling products containing cocamide DEA in California without a clear warning label.
The CEH hopes these short-term actions, along with their continuing efforts, will have an even wider effect.
"Under the law, companies can simply label," says Margulis, "but weve had hundreds of Prop 65 cases over 17 years of doing this work, and in over 95 percent of these cases, we have won legally binding agreements that require companies to reformulate their products. We expect the same in these cases."
Beauty Products contain cancer causers
Potentially Questionable and Controversial and known Cancer Causing Chemicals in Personal Care and Beauty Products. Almost all companies that sell personal care products have potentially controversial and questionable chemicals in them, and say it isn't so (a lie).
Back in 1938, when the U.S. Government formed the FDA, it was believed that our skin was the perfect barrier to protect us from potentially harmful chemicals. So the chemicals then in use were "Grandfathered in" as safe and legal to use in products that were to be in contact with human skin. Now we know our skin is much more of a dry sponge and we absorb most things that come in contact with our skin. ( Prove this to yourself. Remove one shoe and sock, put a 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder in the shoe, put the shoe back on, {no sock for this test}. Ten minutes later kiss your spouse. They will tell you about your breath.)
The Industrial World USES Propylene Glycol (PG) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG): Industrial Antifreeze, Brake/Hydraulic Fluid, Paint, Airplane De-Icer. These have chemicals have been found to cause adverse health effects : contact dermatitis, kidney damage and liver abnormalities; Inhibit skin cell growth in human tests; Damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin and surface damage to the skin.
Sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) Sulfate: Engine Degreaser, Garage/Concrete Floor Cleaner, Car Wash Soap; Surrounds hair follicle in shampoo to keep it from growing, causes hair to fall out; keeps children's eyes from developing properly, causes cataracts in older people; In Toothpaste: Weakens enamel on teeth to cause cavities: SLS is very abrasive and may burn the skin, mouth, Canker sores, or scalp.
Cocoamide, Lauramide DEA (diethanolamine): is readily absorbed through the skin, is a potentially cancer causing ingredient found in many mainstream cosmetics and toiletries. Reacts with nitrates in cosmetics to form another potential carcinogen/DEA. Your blood cells immediately take it through your skin to the body's organs we need: Liver, Kidneys, Heart, etc
The journal of the American College of Toxicology reports that (SLS) is easily absorbed into your skin and builds up in your heart, liver, lungs, and brain... even if you wash it right off after using it!
The Medical College of Georgia has done testing showing that SLS forms dangerous levels of cancer-causing nitrosamines when combined with several other common ingredients found in many personal care products.
1997 - September, the Boston Globe quoted Senators Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch as saying That "the Government Accounting Office has identified 125 cosmetic ingredients suspected of causing cancer. Other ingredients may cause birth defects."
Research to Prevent Blindness reports that sodium lauryl sulfate builds up in the eye tissue and may be a cause of eyesight problems in many children? You will find sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate in most shampoos.
Why do toothpastes have a warning such as:
WARNING LABELS: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. Do not swallow. ... In case of accidental ingestion, seek professional assistance or contact a poison control center IMMEDIATELY.
So today, without follow up research to prove their safety, potentially controversial and questionable chemicals are in everyday personal care products.
Have you ever read the labels on your deodorant, shaving cream, children's bubble bath, mouthwash and and seen the "warning label" on your toothpaste BOX???
Product warning labels are shown for a reason. It is a fact that many manufacturers use certain questionable and controversial chemical ingredients mainly because they're CHEAP, and give the ILLUSION of working properly But more importantly for the manufacturer, they cost very little to fill the bottle, so it is a bigger profit margin for them. But residues of more than 400 toxic chemicals have been found in human blood and fat tissue.
From 1950 to 1989, the overall incidence of cancer in the U.S. has risen by 54% (smoking related incidences account for less than 25% of the increase). Childhood cancer is up 50%. Today, cancer is the leading cause of death for women aged 35-74. Some researchers believe that many types of cancer starts 20 years before they are diagnosed. Baby Boomers have three times the cancer rate of their grandparents.
In 1901 cancer was considered a rare disease. Statistics show that 1 out of 8000 persons had cancer. Today, according to the American Cancer Society, 1 out of 3 people have cancer. By the year 2000, 1 out of 2 persons will be touched by cancer. (It is a multi, multi-billion dollar business at cancer hospitals. We are robbed of health and wealth)
How much cancer, and other illnesses, are linked to chemical exposure? Sometimes it depends on which "expert" you listen to but even OSHA admits there are at least 880 variations of compounds of chemicals ( that are harmful to your nervous system) and are used in personal care products, cosmetics, and perfumes.
This is just the beginning of the list of chemicals to avoid in products you use daily:
1. Cocoamide DEA, diethanolamine, TEA, triethanolamine, MEA
2. Propylene glycol, propylene oxide, polyethylene glycol
3. Sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate
4. Sodium Fluoride
5. Mineral Oil , Petrolatum and Coal Tar
There is a proven significant trend towards the incidence of ALZHEIMER'S disease among long term users of ALUMINUM based anti-perspirants? They are even linking ALUMINUM to breast cancer, which is the leading killer for women under 40. But almost all store brands use aluminum. NEWAYS deodorant does not. Tests from scientists and doctors show that ALUMINUM goes right to the brain. Parkinson's disease also has been linked to ALUMINUM in the brain.
DID YOU KNOW... That three of the most popular shaving creams combine two chemicals which together form a likely cancer causing agent? They're even listed right on the label. But how many people would know this? The manufacturers are betting "not many"... NEWAYS Products DO NOT have these ingredients. But another product that does is a popular KID'S SHAMPOO!
Sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate (SLS) and propylene glycol are two of the most common ingredients found in many personal care products. Others: Petrolatum, synthetic Glycerine, Collagen, Kaoloin or Bentonite & Mineral Oil. Sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate is a top favorite ingredient listing in kids shampoo & toothpaste.
DID YOU KNOW... Propylene Glycol has over 14 legal synonyms? WHY???
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate has over 90 Legal synonyms? WHY???
NEWAYS products do NOT contain potentially controversial and questionable chemicals in their shampoos or other products!
Your skin is the largest breathing organ of your body, and many chemicals can be absorbed through it. Nicotine and medicine skin patches wouldn't work if the skin couldn't absorb. Yet almost ALL shampoos contain SLS.
DID YOU KNOW... That propylene glycol,(industrial antifreeze) (derivative of propylene oxide) is listed on the FDA government website as a known carcinogen?
This ingredient is used in many facial moisturizer and hand/body lotions, has been found to cause kidney damage and liver abnormalities in scientific and animal testing? Propylene glycol may damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin, and surface damage to the skin. Sierra brand anti-freeze for your car is mostly propylene glycol (read it right off the label). Most auto anti-freezes will switch to propylene glycol (from ethylene glycol) in the near future. Is this the best thing to be putting on your skin? At NEWAYS we don't think so, so we don't use it! Ethylene glycol is first ingredient listed on the antifreeze label.
DID YOU KNOW... That KIDS' bubble baths have warning labels on them? Why? It is because the sodium lauryl sulfate in them eats away at the mucous lining of the skin and causes urinary tract infections. Bad for little girls of any age. NEWAYS has a much better product that is safe to use, with NO WARNING LABELS or animal testing needed!!
If you are still not convinced, just read the WARNING LABELS on your child's bubble bath... Bad for little girls of any age!! A world-renowned expert, toxicologist, Chairman of the nationwide Cancer Prevention Coalition, and co-author of Safe Shopper's Bible, Dr.. Samuel Epstein has said that, "Lifelong use of these products... clearly poses major avoidable cancer risks to the great majority of the U.S. consumers, particularly in infants and young children."
DID YOU KNOW... That many children are rushed to the emergency rooms each year due to alcohol poisoning from drinking mouthwash? One of the most popular brands of mouthwash is 26.9% alcohol. In adults, high alcohol mouthwash increases the risk of oral cancer by as much as 60%.
NEWAYS Mouthwash (Eliminator) uses no alcohol and it works great, with over 30 uses such as a bacteria killer, foot odor, Poison Ivy and Poison Oak, etc.
DID YOU KNOW... Recently a thousand people had to be evacuated from their homes, By order of OSHA because a factory near there homes had a one gallon spill of a hazadorous chemical. This ingredient is used in hair shampoo!!!!
All these questionable and controversial chemicals found in our everyday products, combined with the pollution of our air and water, has created an environment that is no longer "user friendly."

Fluorescent Light Bulbs: New Cancer Risk
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) mandates the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs, and favors energy-efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs.
Sounds gooduntil you realize that CFL bulbs contain mercury, and mercury poses a significant cancer risk. A new study shows that CFL bulbs also emit high levels of ultraviolet radiationspecifically, UVC and UVA rays. In fact, the UV rays are so strong that they can actually burn skin and skin cells. Experts say the radiation could initiate cell death and cause skin cancer in its deadliest formmelanoma.
In every bulb the researchers tested, they found that the protective phosphor coating of the light bulb was cracked, allowing dangerous UV rays to escape. Healthy skin cells exposed to CFLs showed a decrease in their proliferation rate, an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species, and a decrease in ability to contract collagen.
On top of that, its a sad fact of life that light bulbs break. How do you clean up the mercury after a bulb breaks? The Institute for Molecular and Nanoscale Innovation measured the release of mercury vapor from broken bulbs. They recorded concentrations near the bulb of up to 800 mcg/m3, which is eight times the average eight-hour occupational exposure limit allowed by OSHA (100 mcg/m3).
Even more shocking, the recommended limit for children is a mere 0.2 mcg/m3. A child exposed to a broken CFL bulb will receive eight thousand times the recommended amount of mercury vapor!
A broken 13-watt CFL bulb will only have released 30% of its mercury a full four days after it is brokenthe remainder is trapped in the bulb. So picking up shards with your bare hands or leaving them in poorly ventilated room while you ponder the best disposal method is a particularly bad idea.
Unfortunately, there is no good solution for cleaning up after a broken CFL bulb. Researchers at Brown are testing a cloth made with a nanomaterial (nanoselim) that can capture mercury emissions for proper disposal. But until this is commercially available, it is best to avoid CFLs altogether. And how will we dispose of the clean-up cloth?
General Electric claims that CFLs dont produce a hazardous amount of UV radiation, and that UV is far less than the amount produced by natural daylight. The truth is that all compact fluorescent lights bulbs contain mercury vapor. Once that vapor is hit with an electric current, it emits a great number of UV rays. UV rays are theoretically absorbed by the layer of phosphor that coats the bulbsbut the signature twisted spiral shape makes these bulbs more prone to cracks in the phosphor, which dramatically increases UV/mercury exposure. Researchers found cracks in almost all bulbs purchased from retail stores, indicating that it is a standard design flaw of these bulbs.
CFL bulbs contains other cancer-causing chemicals as well. German scientists found that several different chemicals and toxins were released when CFLs are turned on, including naphthalene (which has been linked to cancer in animals) and styrene (which has been declared a likely human carcinogen). A sort of electrical smog develops around these lamps, which could be dangerous.
CFLs are supposedly better for the environment, but according to the Association of Lighting and Mercury Recyclers, 98% of CFLs end up in landfillscreating a mercury build-up that can escape into our soil and waterways.
Were happy that the federal government is tackling environmental problems, but this solution is especially short-sightedand not unlike the national smart meter push, is creating serious health risks in the long-term.
Worse, soon consumers wont have the option to buy incandescent lightsthey simply wont be available. The government hasnt placed an outright ban on incandescent light bulbs. Section 321 of EISA mandates higher efficiency standards for general service lamps. But these standards are high enough that most commonly used incandescent bulbs just wont meet the new requirements. EISA will effectively eliminate 40-, 60-, 75-, and 100-watt incandescent bulbs. The new efficiency levels will be in full force by 2014.
Even the United Nations has acknowledged the problem of mercury in CFL bulbs, and has instated a ban on certain types of CFLs. We wont know the full implications of that ban until the treaty is made publically available.
The good news is that CFLs are not the only energy-efficient bulbs out there. There are also light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are mercury-freethough LEDs emit blue light, which can be disruptive to sleep, as we noted in our 2012 article.
Colgate ingredient Linked to Cancer
The chemical triclosan has been linked to cancer-cell growth and disrupted development in animals. Regulators are reviewing whether its safe to put in soap, cutting boards and toys. Consumer companies are phasing it out. Minnesota voted in May to ban it in many products.
At the same time, millions of Americans are putting it in their mouths every day, by way of a top-selling toothpaste that uses the antibacterial chemical to head off gum disease -- Colgate-Palmolive Co.s Total.
Total is safe, Colgate says, citing the rigorous Food and Drug Administration process that led to the toothpastes 1997 approval as an over-the-counter drug. A closer look at that application process, however, reveals that some of the scientific findings Colgate put forward to establish triclosans safety in toothpaste werent black and white -- and werent, until this year, available to the public.
Colgates Total application included 35 pages summarizing toxicology studies on triclosan, which the FDA withheld from view. The agency released the pages earlier this year in response to a lawsuit over a Freedom of Information Act request. Later, following inquiries from Bloomberg News, the FDA put the pages on its website.
The pages show how even with one of the U.S.s most stringent regulatory processes -- FDA approval of a new drug -- the government relies on company-backed science to show products are safe and effective. The recently released pages, taken alongside new research on triclosan, raise questions about whether the agency did appropriate due diligence in approving Total 17 years ago, and whether its approval should stand in light of new research, said three scientists who reviewed the pages at Bloomberg Newss request.
Among the pages were studies showing fetal bone malformations in mice and rats. Colgate said the findings werent relevant.
Viewed through the prism of todays science, such malformations look more like a signal that triclosan is disrupting the endocrine system and throwing off hormonal functioning, according to the three scientists.
Colgates application materials also show that the FDA asked questions about the thoroughness of cancer studies, which are partly addressed in recently released documents.
Some questions about triclosans potential impact on people are, by nature, unanswerable. Humans are exposed to dozens of chemicals that may interact in the body, making it almost impossible to link one substance to one disease, said Thomas Zoeller, a biology professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who specializes in how chemicals affect the endocrine system.

(talking REALLY fast)
I JUST SAW A PREVIEW FOR THE NEXT SEASON OF STARGATE ATLANTIS!! and i saw my first episode of Dr. Who, which was actually really good! i love SG-1... i'm currently watching it on TV! and on the subject of SG-1, i am proud to say that i have managed to snare another unsuspecting victim!! one of my best friends, Ben, has ADMITTED to becoming obsessed! SQUEEE!
(deep breath) ok./
ok... SGA preview... it was amazing!! okie-day, quick recap: the last episode of season four --aka, the most recent episode aired-- ended with the building that Sheppard's team + plus Lorne collasping. GASP!! well, in this preview, you saw Sheppard and Ronon, after the building had collapsed of course. apparently, Sheppard didn't fare to well when the building collapsed. He's pinned. under a really big, really heavy, metal beam. Well, Ronon, being the good friend and soldier he is, is trying to lift the beam off of Sheppard; sheppard's response? like any true hero, "get out of here." or something along those lines. and Ronon's response? like any true friend, "No. Would you leave me if i was stuck under there?" and this is the part that kills me... Sheppard only hesitates for a moment, but his response is, "Yes." what's up with that!? but before Ronon could respond, he's hears someone digging through the rubble... and the it cuts.
dang it!! why would he say that!? and where's Rodney!? and what happened to Michael!? WHY WOULD THE PRODUCERS BE SO SADISTIC AS TO HAVE THE PREVIEW SO SHORT!? so you have to watch it, duh. GRRR!! so many questions!! but i still have to wait TWO WEEKS or something before i get my answer!! *sniff* why does the season premier have to be so far away?
sigh... onto my next subject... i saw my first episode of Dr. Who! and i gotta say, it was a lot better than i was expecting! i'd seen previews for episodes of course, but really only pointed and laughed. i guess that British drama is an... aquired taste. but i'm sure they say the same thing about our stuff! anyway, i was like, "what the heck? it's coming on next..." so i watched it! and... it was good! but the shame is, i don't even know what is was called! i know it was a two parter, and i manged to catch them both, but not not the title! it was the one with the Library, and the flesh eating shadows? hmmm... scary... very good though... dang it! i wanna know...
well, i think that concludes my rantings!
Stargate and Dr. Who
Sorry for the wait people!
i apologize.

An iPad app with details on Albert Einstein's brain! It is not the story of a fiction Hollywood film, but a reality. This innovative iPad app is now available fordownload. The app can be downloaded from App Store for $9.99 (approximately Rs 600).
The recently launched app consists of multiple pictures of Einstein's brain. The app is especially designed for scientists and research students. Reports suggest that almost 350 picture slides of slices of Einstein's brain were provided for scanning and digitization purposes to a Chicago based medical museum following the death of Einstein on 1955.
The new iPad app will allow scientists to study the eccentric brain of Einstein in depth. Albert Einstein won Nobel Prize for his contributions and services to theoretical physics in 1921. The app is designed in such a way so as to give users a feel of observing the brain slices through a microscope.
Soon after Einstein's death, a pathologist named Thomas Harvey who did the autopsy removed the brain of the scientist so as to help future scientists to discover the secret behind the success of Einstein's geniuses.
Doctor Philip Epstein, a Chicago based neuroscientist and consultant for museum was of the opinion that the newly launched application will open the gateway for researchers for an in-depth study of Einstein's brain where neurons are connected more densely than a normal human being.
Report suggest that it might be however difficult for app users to figure out the precise brain region from the slides since modern imaging technology was not introduced the time when the images were captured. The slides have been organized in to general brain regions.

DISCLAIMER: The following is NOT a work in progress, nor is it an official project. If this can ever become a true fan game like Super Mario Galaxy 2.5, then whoopee. If not, too bad. But regardless, this is just an IDEA, not a true game.
Super Mario Galaxy: Cosmic Quest is a fan-made extension to Super Mario Galaxy 2, adding over 40 new galaxies and a much wider array of power-ups, items, and bosses. Not much is known about the game as of now.
...Coming soon...
Being a fan-made DLC pack, Super Mario Galaxy: Cosmic Quest plays exactly like the game it is attached to (Super Mario Galaxy 2). Mario can still spin, jump on enemies, and collect Star Bits all the same. However, all of the new galaxies, missions, and bosses are completely original. Cosmic Quest also introduces some new power-ups, such as the Magic Wing, Fire Bro Suit, and Paragoomba's Shoe, though it maintains and revives old power-ups like the Fire Flower, Ice Flower, and Bee Mushroom.
Worlds and Galaxies
|Humble Beginnings Galaxy
|The first galaxy that Mario enters, and it serves as an introduction stage. As such, it's almost impossible to lose a life in the first mission. The second mission, however, is much more difficult and only appears once Mario reaches World 6. This galaxy harbors many Launch Stars and Sling Stars to go from planet to planet.
World 1: Mushroomy Way
Green Groves Galaxy
|The first true galaxy in the game. Keeping the Mario Galaxy tradition, the main enemies are Piranha Plants, and the first boss is introduced in the form of Sneaky Piranha.
|Sneaky Piranha
|Goomba Land Galaxy (2 Stars)
A Goomba/Galoomba-themed galaxy modeled like a circus park. Most of the galaxy involves Mario traversing out-of-control Goomba-themed rides like coasters and ferris wheels, but he must be careful, since many broken rides are falling apart around him as he searches for Power Stars. Mario uses the Vanish Cap and Goomba Suit for the first time here.
|Honeycomb Galaxy (5 Stars)
Another fairly easy galaxy. It is mainly set in a giant bee hive (called "Castle Hive" by the Bee citizens) and reintroduces the Bee Mushroom and the Bee characters. The main enemies here are Stingbies and Mandibugs, which have joined forces to conquer the Castle Hive.
|Switch Flipper Galaxy (7 Stars)
A fairly simple galaxy full of Flipswitches and Flip-Swap Platforms. Barely any enemies are found here, and as such, the challenge of this galaxy lies in the obstacles instead.
|Bowser's Molten Manse (7 Stars)
A castle stage structured like a mansion. Here, Magikoopas, Hammer Bros., Fire Bros., and Bob-Ombs make their debut. False Bowser is fought on the roof of the mansion, which detaches from the house and splits into many platforms that Mario must hop across to avoid falling to his doom. After Bowser takes enough hits from Mario, he is revealed to be a Goomba in disguise. This is the first time that Mario encounters Yoshi.
|False Bowser 1 (Goomba)
World 2: Flower Spiral
|Tropical Sands Galaxy
A tropical stage that takes place mostly on islands, though there are points in which Mario goes underwater. The most prominant enemies are Bloopers and Cheep-Cheeps, though Sand Goombas appear, too. Piantas and Nokis reside in this galaxy. This is the first time that Mario uses the Metal Cap and the Frog Suit in-game.
left|link=File:Powerstar.pngEmperor Octo's Marine Assault
left|link=File:Powerstar.pngGone Fishin' For Big Bertha
|Building Block Galaxy (10 Stars)
|A level built almost entirely around Cosmic Platforms. As such there are several instances where Mario can fall into the vaccum of space if he isn't careful to jump in the right spots to make the Cosmic Platforms appear.
left|link=File:Powerstar.pngGearmo's Platform Cleanup
|Ink Ocean Galaxy (10 Stars)
|A big, underground sewer full of toxic black ink. Falling into it is the equivalent of falling in toxic slime. The main enemies are Inky Piranha Plants and Ink Bros., marking their first ever appearence. The Ink Flower is used for the first time here.
|Scrumptious Sweets Galaxy (12 Stars)
|A candy-themed galaxy taking place in the sky. There are many dangerous obstacles here, such as maple syrup pits that are hard to walk in, pools of melted chocolate that act like lava, and bottomless pits galore.
|Chocolate Blaarg + Fudge Blaarg
Chargin' Challenge Galaxy (15 Stars)
|A galaxy centered around Chargin' Chucks. Obviously, Chargin' Chucks are introduced here. Most of the stage is structured around sports, including baseball, American football, and bowling.
|Lemmy's Crazy Castle
|A castle owned by Lemmy Koopa. There are several tightropes and small platforms littered around the level, usually suspended above a boiling pit of lava or chomper enemies. This stage introduces Podoboos, and they are the main enemies along with Hammer Bros., Boomerang Bros., and Bullet Bills. Lemmy is fought at the end, riding around a huge planet with a yellow ball. After being defeated by Mario or Luigi, Lemmy's ball pops, revealing the Grand Star inside and causing him to rocket away into the distance.

I've had many more negative experiences than positive experiences with women in my life up to this point. Back in high school, I dated this girl sophomore year who I saw smiling at me all the time and I asked if she liked me and we ended up dating for two months, it was so simple and awesome, but we decided that we just weren't quite feeling it for each other after a while (we were only 16 after all). Now I'm 21 and haven't dated or kissed a girl since then, and I don't even remember what it feels like anymore. College has been absolutely brutal in that department, the girls are stuck up for the most part (doesn't help that we have a 3-1 guy to girl ratio). The ones that seemed sweet that I was attracted to ended up leading me on and not being nice at all, and I started to feel quite jaded by it all. I found that lately when girls have given me dirty looks/things along that line I've been taking it too personally because I'm just so angry and hurt from all the bad times. Why can't another nice girl just smile at me and literally tell me she likes me like back in high school? It was so simple and she ended up being nice, but we just weren't fit for each other after a while. Now everything is so complicated, whenever I'm nice and straightforward I get treated like dirt and I'm sick and tired of it and I wish I could give up. Sometimes I even wish that I was asexual. I hate developing crushes on girls that I know won't like me/will just use me for homework help or whatever it is. Can't wait to graduate and move on from this environment. It sounds pathetic but I feel like I've waited long enough to have some affection come my way. In the meantime I've spent a lot of time playing golf/disc golf (my 2 favorite hobbies) with friends to keep me happy in my spare time that I'm not studying/working. I'm really good at both and they give me confidence, whereas girls kill my confidence. My mom probably won't be too happy that she'll never be a grandma :(
I think I'm starting to give up on women?
What Girls Said 1
I see this being the future, I. e. a lot of single people, many who have given up. I see so many people who have given up, and I have given up, as well.
I do have to say, though, that a lot of the guys I see who have given up really just seem to not want to put any work in and don't want to be challenged, and you seem to be one of those guys. Quality women are the hardest to get, but it takes being a quality man. You're probably in your early 20s, and what I see with younger guys is a lot of you don't understand that most women still believe a guy is supposed to make all the moves. That one girl who let you know she was interested was fairly rare. At least 90% of women don't approach men and don't believe they should. If you don't want to accept that and do what women expect of you--I'm not saying it's right, I'm just telling you how it is--then, yes, give up.
You honestly haven't even had the really bad experiences that cause a lot of people to give up, like I have. Like I said, you just seem to want it all to come easy. I see a lot of men with low-quality women, and this is why--they go with the easy-to-get women, and then wonder why these women cheat, have slept with a bunch of guys, are ghetto, have baby daddies, treat you like garbage, etc. I'm not defending women, either--I date women, as well, and I have been treated like crap by even high-quality women, and that's why I give up along with the fact that I KNOW I don't want to put in the work it takes to find the right person. But I don't want to put in the work because, after my experiences as someone in her mid-30s, I don't see it being worth it. You're a little too young and inexperienced to feel that way. After all, the majority of people who do a little work DO find what they're looking for, but I have too many factors working against me to think it'll happen to me--again, you're too young to think that.00|00|0
Nah I've had some pretty shitty experiences, just didn't have enough characters left to go into them haha. I feel that every girl I find attractive and try to talk to just brushes me aside, there's never any positive body language or good signs, so I just stop and I'm over it at this point so that's why I'm leaning towards giving up
What Guys Said 2
I gave up years ago.
I've been able to study intensely, develop a huge array of talents and skills, and I volunteer regularly.
But it isn't for everyone. It's what people call "lonely", though I can't say I've experienced too much of that. Moreover, the heart wants what the heart wants, and it may not let you.
Good luck man.00|00|0
Yeah man I get that. I could definitely see myself working my job and in my spare time getting as good as I possibly can at golf and disc golf (especially regular golf) for the rest of my life because I'll be consuming myself with things I love to do, but it's really tough to hold those desires back forever. However, when you've been snake bitten by it for years on end, it probably gets easier to throw in the towel after a while
In addition to all the golf and reasons not to be interested in mean girls that just take you for granted, the most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself. there's a hellova lot worse things in this world then developing a rich inner life.
I'm 24 and havn't give up, alltough I never kissed a girl.
You shouldn't give up.00|00|0

is it helpful when a girl plays hard to get? or do you like when a girl is super affectionate? do you like it when a girl texts first or sends you random hot pictures or makes cute stupid jokes? Tell me it all!
Most Helpful Guy
It totally depends on the type of guy you are trying to attract. I am an easy going guy, not particularity cool, but I really respect women, and treat them like a princess. I do not like girls who play hard to get, I like an affectionate lady. I like it when a girl texts first, it makes you feel like they are putting something into the relationship and it isn't just you dragging it along. Hot pictures are incredibly... hot! And cute stupid jokes are adorable, I like a girl who isn't some A* student, someone who is funny and who we can bounce off each other.
Hope it helps.00|00|0

Make Sure your NPS Policies are correctly set up with A.D. Also Check that your user Account's have "allow access" enabled in A.D. There is also a NPS configuration to add user groups, this is where you should add "domain users"...

Pilgrimage Lessons
There is no other way to describe the South in the summer but hot. Unrelenting, blazing, baking, humid hot. Climate change has probably added to the misery, but it was probably just as miserably hot in 1965 Alabama as it is in 2015 Alabama. And it was under those hot and sweaty conditions that Jonathan Myrick Daniels and others found themselves arrested and thrown in the Lowndes County jail in Hayneville fifty years ago.
Daniels, a seminarian at Episcopal Theological School (now EDS) and a native of New Hampshire, had responded to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s plea for people to join in the march at Selma. He and another seminarian, Judy Upham, stayed on in Selma to continue working in the civil rights movement. His crime that put him in jail was picketing businesses in nearby Fort Deposit. They were locked up on August 14th, crammed into cells with occasional running water, toilets that would clog and overflow, and no fans or air-conditioning. Daniels wrote the following letter home to his mother, dated August 17, 1965:
Dearest Mum,
An eminently peculiar birthday card, but....I have been in jail ever since Saturday--the Lowndes county jail in Hayneville, after being transferred from Fort Deposit, where a bunch of us were arrested for picketing. (As a gun toting Cracker said to me when I observed that we had a constitutional right to picket, "You don't have any rights in Fort Deposit.") We are not being bailed out because we are seeking an injunction and trying to get our cases transferred to a federal court. The food is vile and we aren't allowed to bathe (whew!), but otherwise we are okay. Should be out in 2-3 days and back to work. As you can imagine, I'll have a tale or two to swap over our next martini! (This damned pencil is about an inch and a quarter long.) Getting some reading, thinking, discussing, speculating (and sleeping) done--but cussed little else!
The card I bought and the present will have to wait, but I sure will be thinking of you with love and prayers! Have a martini for me and a birthday that is gay in some fun way.
With much, much love,
Three days later, Jon Daniels would be shot to death on the steps of Varner's Cash Store. The group had been released, and Daniels, a Catholic priest named Richard Morrisroe, and two African-American teenagers, Ruby Sales and Joyce Bailey, walked around the corner to the store with the inviting signs for Coca-cola and Pepsi. They were thirsty. As Daniels opened the screen door for Ruby, Tom Coleman, a special deputy sheriff, ordered them to leave or he'll shoot you "sons of bitches." Daniels pushed Ruby away, and demanded to know if this was a threat, and Coleman shot him at point-blank range in the right side of the chest. The shot was enough to kill Daniels instantly. The others fled, with Coleman shooting Morrisroe in the back, wounds that still haunt him today.
Daniels death still haunts us today. So do the deaths of other civil rights workers, gunned down or beaten to death on the streets of Alabama.
This was the first time I was able to make this trip for the Jonathan Myrick Daniels pilgrimage. This being the 50th anniversary, I knew this was the time I absolutely had to go. And as I stood in the place where this murder happened, I became overwhelmed with how we were making this place of a horrid death into a holy site and that his death has become one in a string of violent deaths involving guns aimed at unarmed people. It was telling to me that as we started a litany of dedication and blessing of the historical marker at that spot, a strong breeze blew to cool the sweat running down our backs. Silently, I made note of this, and thought perhaps this was the Spirit breathing the breath of courage in the face of such rage and fear that still is gripping the world. "In the name of Jonathan, we have come."
They had kneelers in the parking lot where the store had been if we so chose to kneel and pray. I could not bring myself to do that, but stood in the shade across the street. There I prayed, in silence with many tears, as I considered the battle of Love vs. Fear, Love vs. Hate, Love vs. Rage. I realized how quickly I can get sucked into that same place of Fear, Hate, and Rage even as I strive to remain with and in Love. "O God the Father of all whose Son taught us to love our enemies....deliver them and us from cruelty, hatred and revenge so that in your good time we may all stand reconciled before you..." How often have I prayed these words, and how true they are and how important they are to not be just words. I have known this and felt this prayer's power before, but standing there with tears streaming onto my glasses and sweat running down my back, I asked for this thorn to be removed from me in order to fill me up with more Love. I don't think this is a plea to allow me to make friends with oppression or oppressors. Quite the opposite! I need the strength and courage of Love to meet oppression with skills of a martial artist who can take the blow of an opponent and redirect it to the advantage of the artist.
There were many songs that the pilgrims sang as we moved from one place to another to recall Daniels' final days. But I had brought along our collection of Sweet Honey in the Rock for the three-and-a-half hour drive. The one that kept playing through my head as we walked was a freedom song, "No More Auction Block"
No more auction block for me....
And, oh, the one thing that we did wrong
No more, no more
Stayed in the wilderness a day too long
No more, no more
And, oh, the one thing we did right,
Oh yes, Oh yes, my Lord
Was the day that we began to fight
Oh yes, Oh yes, my Lord.
We who call ourselves Christian know how to fight with Love because we have been given that example in the life of Jesus, and the life of many who followed Jesus. That includes Jonathan Myrick Daniels. To paraphrase our Presiding-Bishop Elect Michael Curry, "Go!! Keep on Going!" Don't look to the left or the right, just go and be the light, the Love, the Life and that is The Way to affect change and defeat the fear, hatred, cruelty and revenge that is out there.

ALWAYS remember that LOVE is stronger: Love is stronger than fear: Love is stronger than hate:
Love is stronger than anger, and G-D is LOVE.
And so ends my sermon on how to "Be careful how you live" (Ep 5:15)
Glad you were able to participate in this pilgrimage.

I'm so happy you're here, welcome to our new site!
This year I've spent a lot of time thinking about my business and where I want it to go. I began my line with the simple wish to share my aesthetic point of view, and as a vehicle to help promote myself as a freelance designer. I wanted to create product I was passionate about and that was responsibly produced. Three years went by pretty quickly, and I've realized it's time to start dreaming bigger.
To do this I've been making time to work on my business and not just in it. I've been lucky to participate in a workshop called From Artisan to Entrepreneur, which has helped me get clear on what I want to build moving forward. It will be a constant evolution, but I've gotten clearer on what drives me and this business.
Our purpose is to inspire you to visualize your personal story with patterns creating beautiful, unique, and imagined spaces. We create products that are easy to mix and match – pieces that make you feel good not only because of how they look but how they are made.
I want this to be a place where you can find the resources you need to create a home that reflects your personal story. I've thought a lot about what's important to us, and so you'll find that we'll now be sharing a lot more about inspiration, self care, creativity, presence, and responsibility.
I hope you'll come back often, and also know that we love to hear from you. Are there things you'd like to see more of here? Let us know! Leave a comment below, send us an email, or a note on instagram or twitter.

The new best friends in town, Jacqueline Fernandez and Varun Dhawan have been bonding really well after the shoot of 'Dishoom'. Yes! The duo shot together for the first schedule of the film along with John Abraham in Morocco last month. The shoot for the second schedule will begin soon. We have been closely following Jacqueline and Varun on Twitter and noticed that they keep sharing random updates and photos together and their amity is surely evident.
Ask Jacqueline what kind of equation does she share with Varun and she says, "It is funny because I had never even met Varun before we started shooting for 'Dishoom'. And now that I have met him it is like we are long lost buddies. We have too many things in common. We share the same sense of humour, we keep goofing around together, I drag him shopping when I want to go, he drags me to restaurants when he is hungry, John drags us to gym when we are feeling lazy etc. So all three of us have this cool connection." She adds, "I don't know if it is possible for anyone to not get along with Varun. He is such a down to earth and a simple guy who brings lot of energy on the set and pumps everyone up. So he is great to work with."
'Dishoom' is directed by Rohit Dhawan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. It is releasing next year.
