ADHD Diagnosis Cost
"How much does an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) diagnosis cost?"
Providing a cost of diagnosis for attention deficit hyperactivity(ADD/ADHD) would be next to impossible. The amount really depends on who is diagnosing you (family practitioner, psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, etc.) and whether you have neuropsychological testing or not. The cost could run from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Most public mental health clinics have staff that can diagnose but the waiting time for an appointments is usually several months.

Person A:
The two will then walk away and move on with their lives. I've always hated this shallow but typical American formality. As an immigrant kid, I would just shrug and say "okay", and not ask the question back. I would rather tell someone how I really am, and visa versa. But then that would be awkward to attempt since most of these interactions are with mere acquaintances. I have finally grown to accept it and join in with society.

Comments On Aug 22, 2014:I found the Tusk Mirror kit and it had good reviews so I thought I'd try it for the price. I was overjoyed when I opened the box and was extremely happy with quality and mounting on this mirror. Compared to the Polaris OEM this is a excellent buy!

Comments On Aug 13, 2014:After hours of bone shaking riding on the Hatfield and McCoy trails in West Virginia these mirrors NEVER moved. I don't typically submit reviews but felt I should in this case. Extremely impressed! The mounts have a death grip on the rails and the mirror heads are just right for seeing anything coming up behind you. Highly recommend these mirrors!

Comments On May 08, 2014:The mirror is a good buy - but there is a problem if you want to use it and have a windshield. The mirror mount is larger than the area between the windshield and the roll bar. The windshield mounts will need to be shimmed to allow more space between the roll bar and the windshield or the mirror mount will need to be machined (removing material) to allow it to fit.

A charming loft in the heart of the canal district
A spacious apartment in the heart of the canal district. The amenities were clean and exceeded our expectations. Our landlord Arndt was very accommodating and help us organise taxis. A great place to stay and will certainly have no reservations about returning in the future. This apartment is on the third floor with no lift so not suitable for those who have difficulty with stairs.
Live Dutch!
This was the perfect rental for the first-time visit of a family of four to Amsterdam. The 3rd floor apartment is a 5 minute walk from the train station (which is itself a 20 minute ride from the airport). The walk-up is very steep - essentially vertical the last five feet - but our host, Marcus was waiting for us upon arrival and helped to expedite getting our bags up the stairs. Once upstairs, one has the feeling of being in a real dutch apartment. The appointments and amenities were exactly as described in listing. The space is charming and clean. Beds were comfortable and wide. The loft easily accommodated both of our teenage boys, although one opted to sleep on the sofa bed (for reasons of adolescence) - he noted it was comfortable. All of the appliances worked and, to the delight of my kids, the internet connection was truly high-speed. A nice touch: wine was already chilled in the fridge (replace what your take). Amsterdam is amazingly pedestrian-friendly and this apartment was within a reasonable walking distance of all the principal attractions and many great restaurants (Lestage is downstairs and is a real treat if you can get a table - book early). From the Jordann to the Vondelpark, everything in Old Amsteram is easily accessible by foot or by trolley. Marcus was a fantastic host and it was very easy to communicate with him to arrange payment and navigate our arrival, as well as manage the return of the damage deposit. All said a great place.
This was the perfect place to stay in Amsterdam!!!
We LOVED this apartment! The location is fantastic...close enough to everything to bike and walk...but just far enough to be quiet and relaxing! The terrace/patio was fantastic! We sat there every day with a glass of wine! Our host gave us great info. on grocery and local places and we rented the bikes- which is a MUST!!! It made our trip to have the bikes!! We truly saw ALL of Amsterdam on bike and it was our favorite spot of our 2 week vacation! (including Paris and some of Belgium!) We will be back!!

CAROLINA FOREST, SC (WMBF) – A family is searching for a local firefighter, who they consider their hero.
February 17, 2013 started as a normal Sunday for a Carolina Forest family. It ended as a day they will never forget.
"The girls were sitting, eating popcorn. Aubrey started coughing and we thought she had just gotten too much of the seasoning," explains Amanda Mcaleer. Aubrey is her 17 month old daughter.
Soon, the family realized something was wrong.
"She wouldn't stop coughing. I picked her up and you could see her lips were starting to turn a light shade of purple," says Mcaleer.
She immediately called 911 while Aubrey started struggling even harder to breath. Her husband began the Heimlich on his daughter, but time was ticking, and Aubrey wasn't getting better.
"We tried to take her to the hospital ourselves, which is probably the worst thing you could do," she says.
Help came down the street from emergency responders with Myrtle Beach Fire Rescue.
"On the ride to the hospital, she went completely unconscious and stopped breathing," recalls Mcaleer.
They knew it was getting worse, but entrusted their daughter's life in the hands of a medic. The family explains that once they got to the hospital, everything seems to blur. They don't remember much, but the name of one medic is still etched in their minds.
"Crago. His last name is burned in my brain. It's what I remember from being in the hospital. Later on, my mom suggested I try to find him on Facebook. That's where I learned his first name was Marc, but I haven't been able to contact him," explains Mcaleer.
The family explains Marc Crago, a medic with MBFR, went above and beyond for them in their time of need.
"He immediately calmed us down. He made me believe my daughter was going to be ok. It is what I needed, because at times I wasn't sure," says Mcaleer.
He was their lifeline while at the hospital.
"He stayed with us until she went into the operating room," Mcaleer explains.
The family considers Marc Crago their hero.
"It almost feels like he is part of our family, even though we hardly know him," she says.
They have been searching for him since that day.
"In his line of work he may not get a thank you very often or to see the people again that he gets to help," says Mcaleer, explaining that she wants him to be able to meet Aubrey when she is her usual happy self.
The family believes everyone involved, from emergency responders, doctors, and neighbors, helped save Aubrey's life that day. But Crago's character sticks out to them.
"We have been able to thank everyone but him, and we just want him to know we are eternally grateful for what he did for us that day," Mcaleer says.
WMBF News was able to find Marc Crago for the family. They are arranging a private reunion this week.

Rate Dr. Michele M. Carpenter
Dr. Michele M. Carpenter's Ratings
This physician and her staff take the terror out of breast cancer. Dr. Carpenter is rare because she is a superbly skilled surgeon but still has a gentle and comforting bedside manner. The first thing she did when she walked into the exam room during my first appointment was give me a hug. And that was even before I started crying. I would be surprised if there was a better breast surgeon in the region. She provided me with personal attention, always provided honest, direct, and complete recommendations, called me when I needed advice and to give me path results, and is just a gift to the profession and anyone facing down the beast that is breast cancer. Oh, and the important part. She successfully removed all of my cancer.

My God, the greatest doctor ever, she did mastectomy on me last year,I didn't know about doctor's rating, otherwise I would have rated her sooner, she is simply the BEST, the kindest, the most helpful, the most knowledgeable, simply the BEST in all aspects of being a great doctor, I have nothing but praise for her and hope that she lives the longest life

She is very kind and thorough. She explained everything and layed out a plan for treatment which is very helpful after got home and recovered from the shock of the breast cancer news, one can start to proceed with what's lying ahead. She also refered me to the best medical oncologist, Dr. Tetef.

Dr. Carpenter is wonderful!! I highly recommend her to anyone. She performed an excisional biopsy surgery on me and then later a double mast. At 27, it's a scary thing finding out you've got breast cancer, but when your doctor is comforting, knowledgeable and VERY good at what she does, the process goes a little bit smoother.

Excellent physician. I am very fortunate to have had her as my surgeon for my lumpectomy 4 years ago. She is very pleasant and very in tuned with women illnesses. Highly recommended!

Dr. Carpenter is one of the nicest most caring Doctors I've come across. Very good bedside manner. The only negative was her staff seems a little cluleless. Made an appt for 3 mos out and when i called to confirm they said she wasn't in the office that day. Also had some scheduling issues which delayed my surgery a bit.

Phoenix Police announced Wednesday that there has been an arrest in the homicide of 27-year-old MCSO detention officer Jorge Vargas.
Vargas was gunned down in his driveway Thursday, August 8. He was dressed in his sheriff's office uniform and the hood of his vehicle was propped open.
The suspect has been identified as 15-year-old male Leonard Moreno. He is facing charges of first degree murder, and will be charged as an adult.
Police said Moreno was impaired by alcohol and drugs at the time of the shooting and was a member of a gang. He had left a party about 3 a.m.
"Leonard Moreno wanted to be a gang member. Leonard Moreno is a drug user and seller and he acquired a weapon," said Phoenix Police Chief Daniel Garcia.
Vargas was shot about 4 a.m. Investigators don't know what happened in the driveway before Moreno allegedly shot Vargas.
They said there was no reason to believe that Moreno knew Vargas personally. Police believe Vargas was a random victim.
Police say the teen's mother and a friend have also been arrested on charges of hindering prosecution and disorderly conduct.
Cathy Seymour was expected to be charged with hindering prosecution of her son. Ivan Montes, 20, was booked on charges of hindering prosecution and disorderly conduct, Crump said. They both are suspected of trying to get rid of evidence and helping Moreno avoid detection from the police.
The weapon used to kill Vargas has not been recovered, but shell casings at the scene were used to tie the teen to the shooting. Detectives also evaluated social media in the case.
It turns out bullets from the gun that was used to kill that detention officer matched shell casings entered into a database from Montes' suicide attempt from several months ago.
Montes talked to police and allegedly said he sold the gun to Moreno for $350. Officers got search warrants for Moreno's Facebook and Instagram and found pictures he posted holding a gun, which looks like the same type of gun used in the detention officer's shooting.
His Instagram post says, "Did it once for fun.. Don't make me do it again..."
"It is a dangerous profession and this is something we always have to put up with, it is very sad when you lose a law enforcement officer," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Vargas worked with MCSO for 8 years. He supervised inmates who worked in the jail's kitchen.
Moreno has actually been inside the 4th Ave Jail for several weeks on an unrelated aggravated assault charge.

The Secret Language of Flowers
@ Waverly Heights
Oct 9 @ 7:45 pm – 9:00 pm
The Secret Language of Flowers From ancient times flowers have been symbolic, used for all types of ceremonies and events. It was the Victorians who turned flower giving into an art with it's own language. Tussie Mussies were created to communicate feelings which were not proper at that time to state in words. The choice of flowers were just as important was how they were presented. Come spend an evening with Cheryl Wilks, of "Flowers On Location" learning about the "Language of Flowers." You'll be amazed at how easy it is to "Say it with flowers." Maybe you'll be the lucky one to take a posie home. Cheryl Wilks has been actively involved in the floral industry since 1980. She created "Flowers On Location" in 1994, specializing in recreational floral education for ALL ages & abilities (4 – 104). In addition to designing beautiful weddings and parties, Cheryl brings hundreds of emotionally uplifting floral workshops and demonstrations each year to garden clubs, womens groups, corporate lunch & learns/team building, senior centers, nursing homes, retirement communities, childrens after-school/summer camps, spousal/kid programs for conventions and more!

Lenape Country: Lecture and Book...
@ Lower Merion Academy
Nov 19 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Historic Preservation Lecture Lenape Country: Lecture and Book Signing Jean Soderlund will discuss her new book Lenape Country: Delaware Valley Society before William Penn, which reveals that the ideals of Delaware Valley society—commitment to personal freedom, religious liberty, peaceful resolution of conflict, and opposition to hierarchical government—began with the Lenapes prior to the founding of Pennsylvania in 1681. Unlike Natives in Virginia and New England, the Lenapes preserved their sovereignty and power. By using targeted violence such as the destruction of the Dutch Swanendael colony in 1631 then forming alliances with the Dutch, Swedes, and Finns, the Lenapes fostered a culture of personal freedom in which trade could prevail. Jean R. Soderlund is a Professor of History at Lehigh University. Her previous books include Quakers and Slavery: A Divided Spirit and (with Gary B. Nash) Freedom by Degrees: Emancipation in Pennsylvania and Its Aftermath. Historic Preservation Lectures Sponsored By: To Register for this event, click here. Or call the Conservancy at 610.645.9030

What was the surest winning bet in Florida last week? That the legislative committee hearing on repealing the state's controversial Stand Your Ground law would end up with a lopsided No vote. The roll-back effort never had a chance.
But you can't fault the repeal's supporters for trying. Not with a self-defense law that gives immunity to someone who shoots first and asks questions later. Stand Your Ground garnered national attention after Sanford neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager from Miami Gardens, in 2012. When Mr. Zimmerman was acquitted of a second-degree murder charge by a jury last summer, both sides of the controversy erupted in renewed arguments for and against the law. Mr. Zimmerman didn't claim a Stand Your Ground defense, but the law's language was included in instructions to the jury.
Following the acquittal, a group of young activists held a 31-day protest outside Gov. Rick Scott's office, demanding that he call a special legislative session on the self-defense law.
The governor refused, but the protesters, known as the Dream Defenders, got the ear of Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford, who agreed to hold a hearing on the law this fall. And so the supporters and opponents of the 2005 Stand Your Ground law gathered in Tallahassee on Nov. 7 for a five-hour hearing chaired by Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Fort Walton Beach Republican who does not support, in his words, "changing one damn comma" of the law.
In the end, after emotional testimony from shooting victims' relatives seeking either a repeal or to tighten the law's language and equally ardent testimony from the law's supporters, the House Criminal Justice subcommittee voted 11-2 to keep the law exactly the same. A sure bet, indeed.
The committee did approve one change in separate bill. By a 12-1 vote, the lawmakers passed a proviso ensuring that people who fire a warning shot when feeling threatened aren't subject to the minimum mandatory sentencing law called 10-20-Life.
The bill is a response to the case of Marissa Alexander, a Jacksonville woman who was sentenced to the mandatory 20 years in prison for aggravated assault — for firing a shot in the air to ward off her husband during a domestic dispute. Ms. Alexander used the Stand Your Ground law to claim immunity from prosecution, but a jury found her guilty. She's been granted a new trial by an appellate court, which ruled that her trial judge didn't give correct instructions on the self-defense law to the jury.
And there's the major problem with Florida's Stand Your Ground statute. It is so loosely written that the self-defense claim often is interpreted differently in separate cases. Where one individual is acquitted for feeling threatened enough to shoot and kill another person under the law, the next individual is found guilty for simply firing a warning shot in self-defense.
While the warning-shot immunity bill makes sense, the committee's refusal to tighten the statute's wording to clear up the confusion and end the disparate court interpretations of what constitutes a justified shooting is disappointing.
There's another chance to right the wrongs in the Stand Your Ground law when the Legislature convenes in March. Repeal is a non-starter. But lawmakers should find enough consensus to clarify who has the legal presumption of impunity when shooting at someone else in a threatening situation.

Rats in alleyways. Rats in backyards. Rats boldly gnawing through heavy plastic garbage bags. Rats that seem to be the size of cats. Rats everywhere.
Those living in the Riverview area of Lansdowne have faced such scenes for some time now.
Help from an unexpected source seems to be the only thing keeping the rat population somewhat under control in the area.
"We have snakes in the area, trust me that's something I want," said Ron Whitehead, president of Riverview-Ryerson Circle Communities Association. "Snakes eat rats."
The community has been plagued with an infestation of rats that has continued to grow while concerned residents battled with county code enforcement officials to take action.
This week, that action will take place, according to Lionel van Dommelen, chief of code enforcement for Baltimore County.
The county's Rat Attack program, a countywide effort to treat and eliminate rat infestations, began in Riverview Feb. 11.
Rats have been a problem in Riverview for more than three years, according to Whitehead.
Trash accumulation in alleyways, called easements, is the main cause of the growing infestation, he said.
"People just throw stuff in there, they're a mess," Whitehead said.
Whitehead said that the trash, combined with people not picking up dog waste and leaving out food for birds, has created a massive problem in his neighborhood.
"People throwing food out for birds and squirrels, it's a smorgasbord for rats and rodents," he said.
Dommelen agreed that trash is one of the biggest attractions that bring rats to a neighborhood.
"The population of rats will grow or shrink in direct proportion to the food supply," Dommelen said.
"If folks are not cleaning these things up and storing their trash properly, then the population grows," he said.
A single breeding pair of rats can, under ideal circumstances, produce as many as 80 offspring in one year, according to a county press release.
Dommelen said that purchasing metal trash cans and making sure to pick up dog waste can make a big difference.
The county's rat eradication program began last April. It has treated more than 2,100 county residences so far under a five-year, $750,000 contact with a local exterminator at a cost of $8 per residence.
Daniel Purdie, or "Big Dan, the Pest Man," a licensed exterminator based in Gwynn Oak, contracted with the county, and was scheduled to begin targeting and treating rat burrows in Riverview Monday, Feb 11.
He injects the holes with a poisonous powder called Ditrac. Once the rats leave their burrows, it will get onto their fur and later kill them.

Among our many firsts, we were the first mainline church to take a stand against slavery (1700), the first to ordain an African American person (1785), the first to ordain a woman (1853), the first in foreign missions (1810), and the first to ordain openly gay lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons (1972). We value education for all people. We founded Harvard and Yale, as well as many historically black colleges, six of which remain affiliated with the UCC to this day. SOURCE
I am proud of that. I am proud of the denomination's stance against the war. I am proud of this UCC commercial that was BANNED from several networks:
We all know how equality is dangerous. It is clear how that commercial should never be on television. (tongue firmly in cheek) In my understanding, Jesus was about helping and embracing the poor and sick and downtrodden. He was a radical, who spoke out about senseless societal and church rules that kept the unfortunate down and enslaved and the powerful in power. For me, the UCC embodies that thinking. More on the UCC...
According to the official UCC Web site, "UCC churches tend to tailor themselves to fit the people they feel called to serve in their local community. The result: A wide variety of musical traditions, expressions and values that have integrity and purpose. From conservative to liberal, we're not short on variety."
What is the community that Trinity United Church of Christ, on Chicago's South Side, serves? Well, mostly educated, middle- to upper-middle class black families. It is an 6,000+ member congregation, so there is variety. There are some members who are white. There are many, many members who are single. There are many members who are working class or poor. There are some members who are gay. In the UCC tradition, the church doesn't discriminate.
It is hardly a hot-bed of black radicals (not that there is anything wrong with that). The church sits in a black neighborhood on one of those typical Chicago blocks where walking a few blocks can make a world of difference. There is a housing project that abuts the main church parking lot, quiet working-class neighborhoods to the south and north, and if you drive west on 95th street and cross Halsted you'll run into Beverly, a mixed-race affluent neighborhood.
All of these things affect Trinity's mission. But for the most part, the congregation is overwhelmingly black, and so, the church is steeped in African American culture and dedicated to helping it's members draw on their faith to stand strong and live in a still-racist country, and to help others and right wrongs created by inequality. The church "motto" is "unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian." Trinity seeks to teach its members to be comfortable in the skin they're in--racially and spiritually.
Here is the church's "Ten-Point Vision:"
A congregation committed to ADORATION.
A congregation preaching SALVATION.
A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY. SOURCE
I know that many white people are uncomfortable about the blending of race and racial culture with Christianity. But people of color were not the first to do this. I submit that white churches care for their parishioners in much the same way as black churches. It is just that, as European-based culture is the majority, white church practices seem, well, just normal, while Trinity's dancing, shouting choir in African garb seems strange--an attempt to force ethnicity in where it doesn't belong. But consider all the blonde haired, blue-eyed, European-featured depictions of Jesus that are so common in Western Christianity. They don't jive with the Bible's descriptions of Jesus as bronze of skin and wooly-haired. The common depiction of Jesus is a merger of white culture and religion. Trinity's focus on Africa is no different than a Catholic church in an Irish or Italian neighborhood focusing on the heritage of its people.
Jeremiah Wright, former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, is not a fringe, wacko cult-leader, or a separatist. He is a trained minister with a doctorate of divinity (SOURCE). He is a well-known and respected community leader in Chicago and a respected theologian nationally. People from a wide variety of faiths and of all different races have visited TUCC and spoken from the pulpit. Folks come hours early to hear Father Michael Pfleger, a white Catholic priest deliver one of Christ's seven last words each year on Good Friday.
I tried to find unedited audio of Pastor Wright's comments that are drawing so much fire, but I can only find clips of the most inflammatory pieces (of course). I've only heard bits on TV and the radio, and did not hear the sermon in person, so I cannot speak to the clip point-by-point. I can say this: What Pastor Wright is, in my view, is a radical leftist, and as a liberal, that does not bother me one bit. I don't agree with many things he says (nor do I embrace every doctrine of Christianity or the UCC), but I agree with most of them.
I admit the "God damn America" bit was a rhetorical step too far. But what I believe Pastor Wright was trying to say, as I have heard him say in many sermons over the years, is that blind patriotism is an offense. It is ahistorical. And it is dangerous. America, great though it is, has plenty of blood on its hands. It has, in many cases, wielded its power unskillfully and to the detriment of powerless people all over the world. To ignore that is abhorrent, unhelpful and it weakens us. It is better to call out your country's wrongs and work to correct them as Pastor Wright does, than to preach "my country right or wrong," which is the greater danger to the republic. Pastor Wright speaks truth to power, unfiltered, from a leftist point of view.
Some folks balk at that. I embrace it. Trinity is the first church where I saw women in the pulpit and among the leadership, not relegated to the pews and the kitchen. It is the first church where I heard a male pastor correct the idea, often attributed to the Bible, that women are secondary to men. It is the first church where I heard a pastor preach that everyone doesn't need to marry or have children. It is the first church I have attended where the pastor refused to castigate gays, even if it meant the loss of membership. It is the first church I have attended that encourages its members to use their faith for strength against racism, but also to help all marginalized people.
It is interesting that we are quite comfortable with radical rightwing preachers. Pat Robertson can blame Hurricane Katrina on homosexuals and still be called for interviews by the mainstream news and embraced by presidents. Bob Jones University, a Christian college visited by George Bush, can ban "unGodly"dalliances between black and white students. John McCain can "welcome"support from Rev. John Hagee, who wants a Biblically prophesied invasion of Iran. But a radical leftist minister is just too, too much.
If you truly want to know about the beliefs of the pastor and congregation of TUCC, finding out is easy. The church broadcasts its services live on the Web and on television. I encourage anyone who is concerned about the church to research before making broad statements about "cults" and "black separatists." Click here to hear live broadcasts and access past sermons on demand.
Sidenote: Why does America demand that marginalized people have the same level of patriotism as the mainstream, even given our unique history within the country. I mean, I don't necessarily believe that the government created the HIV virus, as it is reported that Pastor Wright says in his much-publicized sermon, but is it crazy for a group of people who were the victims of the very well-documented Tuskegee Experiment to believe the country might do such a thing? Our experience is different. Get it?

Vilsack Says Visit to Brazil Underscores Need for Farm Bill
U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack has been in Brazil - providing officials there with an honest assessment about the situation of the cotton case while the farm bill is still pending. The Secretary has reportedly told Brazilian officials that USDA is running out of money and authority to make payments in the World Trade Organization cotton subsidies agreement. The U.S. agreed to make an annual 147-million dollar payment to Brazil until the next farm bill changed cotton subsidies in 2010 after a WTO panel ruled U.S. cotton subsidies had inflicted harm on the Brazilian cotton industry. But according to Vilsack - the budget restrictions placed on the department by the sequester will allow him to make only half the payment promised to Brazil in September. On October 1st - he says he'll lose authority to make any payments. President Obama didn't include the payments in his fiscal year 2014 budget. Vilsack noted the administration assumed a farm bill with provisions to establish a new cotton program would be passed before the beginning of the fiscal year.
The reaction from Brazilian officials indicated to Vilsack that they would be under pressure to impose the tariffs it had agreed not to impose as long as the payments were made and the farm bill addressed the cotton issue to the country's satisfaction. He said the officials expressed that their patience isn't limitless - and that without payment or resolution of the dispute with passage of a farm bill - the U.S. would leave them with few options. That reaction - Vilsack said - means the House and Senate need to get serious about finalizing the farm bill.
Vilsack also urged the Brazilians to buy U.S. wheat, beef and pork and find ways to cooperate with the U.S. on biotechnology and biofuels policy.

This hand cream did not seem to last long. I definitely have to reapply after each hand washing. It also didn't seem to provide deep or effective moisture/protection. The only good thing about this product was that it was non-greasy. But for the same price (about $7), I would have been better off with the Aveeno Daily Moisturizer for your body. It moisturizes better and would be 3-4x more product. For an "intense" hand cream, I still prefer Sally Hansen 18-hour cream.
This hand cream is amazing! My mom has dry hands because she constantly washes the dishes and her hands, she bought this and loves it! She constantly put the lotion. And I love the fact that you can use it on your elbows and knees (I,too, have problems with dry skin). It really moisturizes your skin, unlike other moisturizers.
More reviews by MrsEdwardCullen
I was pleasanly surprised by this hand cream! I really like it, and it is truly not greasy!!!!!! YAY. but it's no HG material in my eyes.
My hands are incredibly dry in the winter and this stuff saves them. I use it in the summer too because it is truly non greasy! I love how it makes my hands feel like they're moisturized without having stuck them in an oil well. But the only thing is, as someone mentioned, this product does pill off my hands sometimes depending on how dry they are. I personally don't mind this, because I just keep using more every 20 minutes or so when my hands get that dry and they become fine. However, the cost is also a bit much. For $10 for a little tube that does not last that long, it is stretching the wallet. But I think its worth it.
I purchased the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion from Wal's Pharmacy here in Australia and received this hand cream for free. Most hand creams I have tried either have too strong of a scent, take too long to sink in or only provide moisture for a short period of time. Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream is fragrance free, sinks in in a short amount of time and provides my hands lasting moisture that lasts through hand washing.
I very highly recommend this hand cream, I just wish the tube wasn't so bulky though.

Product description from the Aveeno website:
This unique, non-greasy hand cream is specially formulated with natural oatmeal and rich emollients to help heal dry skin and form a protective glove against the elements. Unlike ordinary hand creams, Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream protects and moisturizes skin for 24 hours and even lasts through hand washing.

This is my HG hand cream. It is this and creamy but absorbs quickly. My hands are instantly transformed into being soft and supple. It is the only thing that works for my mom too who has ezecma on her hands...definetely worth buying!
Doesn't leave a sticky residue behind, sinks in quickly, no funny smells.
And skin stays moisturised even after washing.
My hands get extremely dry, crack, and bleed in the Winter. This lotion is easily applied without the greasy residue after. I'm a SRNA so I am constantly washing my hands and this lotion does hold up through a few hand washes.
Overall: unscented, no grease, applies easily, lasts through hand washing, and works!
Product - I've got awfully dry hands and hate greasy lotions - probably as does every reviewer of this product, duh :) I need something year-round to prevent the unsightly dry white lines on my hands and, especially in winter, to keep my dry hands from developing painful cracks. I'm a relatively recent convert to Aveeno products, so figured I ought to give this stuff a try. Awesome stuff. NO GREASY FEELING. Soaks in better and faster than most hand lotions I've tried, and it immediately makes my hands feel better. Not too runny (doesn't run or drip off), but not too thick either - easy to spread and work into the skin. Lasts a while but obviously if I wash my hands frequently I need to reapply. Minimal scent.
Comparisons - Not as thick or greasy-feeling as Neutrogena's Hand Cream Norweigan formula, which was my previous hand lotion of choice.
Packaging - Soft tube with secure (but simple to open) flip top cap with small-medium tip. The tip is just the right size, I never accidentally squeeze out more than I want.
Overall - Another HG from Aveeno!

I love this hand cream! It does not live up to its 24-hour claim but it does last most of the day. I keep a tube on my desk at work, and each morning when I get into work my hands are pretty dry (I never remember to use moisturizer at home after I finish doing my hair and makeup!) I apply some every morning, and it soaks in quickly, allowing me to use my keyboard without getting it greasy. My hands normally stay moisturized (or at least "not dry" if that makes sense) until sometime during the evening when I finally reapply moisturizer again. I also love the fact that it is fragrance free, since many synthetic fragrances bother my allergies. This lotion still has a slight scent but it's only from the natural ingredients, not an added fragrance. The scent quickly fades after application.
Granted, I do have an office job that does not require constant hand-washing or lots of time spent outdoors, but this hand cream works great for me!
My only complaint is that it's pretty pricey for a drugstore product -- around $6 for a small tube. Other Aveeno products are much less expensive per ounce, but so far I haven't found another one that I like as much as this hand cream.

(ABC) - A wild start to the day for employees inside a Jackson, MS business.
A deer crashed through a double paned window, and found his way to the break room, where employees locked him in. The 80 pound spike was clearly not happy with the room layout.
He knocked over tables and chairs and even tried to leap on top of cabinets to escape.
Employees stayed at bay until Animal Control arrived, but even then they were caught off guard.
After a few minutes of planning, an Animal Control officer went in, and eventually came out...with the bloody tired deer.
As Animal Control led the deer to freedom outside...inside employees examined the damage left behind.
Workers say they may never know why the deer decided to crash into their workplace.

Raise Your 'Hashflags': Twitter Reintroduces World Cup Hashtags
The World Cup, hashtags and emojis all rolled up into one perfect millennial expression of national pride.
Twitter is a free microblogging service founded in 2006 by Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone. At its heart are 140-character bursts of information called tweets. Users can include links to other content in their tweets, and broadcasts can be public or private. Celebrities, journalists, politicians and other public figures have established significant followings on Twitter. Media outlets in particular use Twitter as a way to broadcast breaking news.
Since its founding, Twitter has grown into a social media juggernaut, and popularity on the service is often used as a benchmark of influence. Companies have also used the service as a way to engage with their customers - offering promotions and other specials.

Twitter appears to be experimenting with a new mobile ad feature with two World Cup advertisers, Visa and Adidas. The feature, which Twitter had apparently tested with the film A Million Ways to Die in the West last month, lets you easily share a video ad when you use a hashtag. For instance, if you type "#visa" and then a space, you should see a paper clip prompt in your Twitter iOS app. Click on the icon and you can attach a video, which is an ad for Visa.

Racist graffiti that was discovered on the side of a barn in East Windsor has finally been covered up.
Last week, a barn on Clark Road was covered in racist words and hate symbols, plus words describing drug use.
People in town were furious because the words had been there for about a month, and nobody was doing anything to cover it up.
Luis Valentin said he used to drive by it three or four times a week and said he paused when his young sons took notice.
"When I was driving, the boys asked me. They actually saw it and asked me what it meant," he said.
He said he turned the hate into a teaching moment, sitting down with his sons to talk about the words and what they meant, and why they are not OK to say.
"I'm an artist," he said. "They know what expressing yourself means, but expressing yourself doesn't mean that you're going to offend somebody."
It was discovered that the barn was owned by the Mulnite Farms, which is a tobacco grower.
Officials at the farm said they received a call last week, and someone from the farm immediately went over to the barn and tried to cover it up.
"We told the police department that it wouldn't be able to be done on Friday, but that we would get it done this week," said an unidentified member of the farm's office.
Farm officials said they plan on repainting the whole barn this week, before Thanksgiving, and do not condone graffiti like this.
"We're aware of what's up on the barn, we've been told about it, know about it and we're going to take of it and handle it right away," said the woman, who explained tobacco shipments were slowed by Hurricane Sandy. "We just can't get to it right this minute, but it'll be done, this week it'll be done, before Thanksgiving holiday."
Since the complaints about the graffiti started, police said they have increased patrols in the area to make sure no one else paints on the barns.
First Selectwoman Denise Menard told Eyewitness News that hate filled messages such as this are unusual in East Windsor and she'll make sure this gets taken care of.

Officer Accused Of Selling Police Body Armor Out Of Squad Car
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A veteran Murfreesboro police officer is stripped of his powers and facing possible criminal charges. He is accused of selling police-issued body armor out of his squad car.
Officer Jason Lowder is decommissioned and on administrative leave. Investigators say he sold the police department's bullet-resistant vests.
"This is government property and police property and he had no right to sell it," said Officer Kyle Evans, Murfreesboro police department spokesperson.
One of Lowder's customers told Newschannel 5 the officer advertised the vests for sale on Craigslist and Armslist.com for 175-dollars each. The customer said Lowder met him at a public parking lot in uniform and with his squad car. The trunk of the vehicle was full of vests.
The customer said he tried them on till he found one that fit and bought it.
"Officer Lowder did have access to the area where vests are stored and warehoused after they are issued and turned back in," said Evans.
But Evans said the officer did not have permission to take the body armor to sell.
Evans said the department replaces worn out vests for its two-hundred plus officers working the streets every five years. The old vests remain police property -- paid for by the taxpayers. Some are destroyed. Others are sold to a company that uses the kevlar to make automotive brakes.
Officer Lowder is off the job.
District Attorney Bill Whitsell will decide if he faces any criminal charges.
Meanwhile the police department has taken steps to ensure something like this never happens again.
