Open Thread: Talk About Clothes, Style, Fashion — Whatever the Heck You Like to Call It
Your place to come talk about clothes whenever you feel like it.
It all started the first time I heard Lil' Kim rap on Junior M.A.F.I.A's "Get Money."
"Admirin' my shoes by Gucci/I be eatin' sushi, playin with my coochie/Countin' lucci/I got banks to rob/Convertible Saabs/I'm married to the mob," Kim rapped.
I don't know if it was the fact that her bank-robbing, sushi-eating, designer-shoe-wearing aesthetic was the farthest thing from my suburban life, or if I just loved the fact that something actually rhymed with "coochie."
Whatever it was, this 10-year-old was hooked.
Aside from her love for Dooney & Bourke and enough cameos to infuriate any heiress, my mother kept her accessory game simple. What her closet lacked, my fifth grade heart desired … a statement bag. One worthy of writing a rap verse around, at that.
It took a few years and a slew of bad waitressing jobs but once I ordered my first piece, a monogram satchel, no handbag was safe. Every time I laid eyes on a new piece, my collection grew.
"You spent $800 on THAT?" I would gasp at the nylon totes and microscopic clutches my friends were investing in. "You could have bought three or FOUR vintage pieces!" I'd assail them before they could answer. In a year's time, those expensive bags would be quarantined to the back of their closets.
Save for a few of my peers, it was older women who fueled my passion and embraced my search, reminiscing about what it felt like to unwrap their first "real" handbag.
A family friend even dug out a brown monogrammed leather
her mother-in-law had purchased with Atlantic City winnings back in the late 70s. Had I ever seen a copy of TV Guide outside of a grocery store checkout line? No. Did I squeal when I accepted this piece? You better believe it.
Scouring the Internet became an all-consuming pastime. It didn't stop when I closed the windows for eBay and Etsy -- it was my favorite thing to talk about, it was a never-ending scavenger hunt. It was Gucci.
My inbox quickly became cluttered with links to auctions, photos of pieces friends had been coveting and estate sale buzz. My lunch hour could be marked by two things: a Lean Cuisine growing cold on my desk and counting down the minutes until the Google Alert I'd set for the term "Vintage Gucci" appeared in my inbox.
It's less of a compulsive thing because it's so respectful -- and there's an element of curation to it. Whenever I sling a vintage handbag over my shoulder, I know there's a story behind it and that alone is worth every effort. Did the person before me scrap and save to afford what was considered a major status symbol in the 70s? Or were they sick of looking at a gift from an ex-lover and had to clean house?
The past lives of inanimate leather goods have deep meaning for me; as my collection grows, each piece is living a story of its own. There's the black camera bag my boyfriend gave me a few Christmases back. Running my fingers over the red and green stripe that splits its middle, I still gawk at just how flawless something that has a good 15 years on me could be.
There are the two suitcases I bought for a steal on Ruby Lane. Delivered after I'd been laid off from a job I loved, I'd bought them in a bout of insomnia. But now that they'd arrived and my financial future was in ruins, their giant box mirrored the size of my buyer's remorse. Tearing through the cardboard, I found a gracious note from the seller; she hoped the luggage would send me traveling. Although I'd never dream of subjecting these beauties to the rugged world of the baggage claim, she was right. They helped guide me to a new position I'd soon find myself in.
There's the wallet with gold horse bit hardware that my friend Drew compared to something Salt 'n' Pepa probably "spent their first big checks on." After stuffing it full of business cards and change, I decided it was too good for my daily commute and retired it to a life on display in my bedroom.
And I'm not alone. Last week, after a long day at the office, I noticed a teenager clutching a roomy navy tote with an interlocking "G" detail. The familiar striped handles rested on her black coat comfortably.
My first reaction was to bombard her with questions. Surely she couldn't know how excellent this vehicle that held her iPod, books and makeup truly was. It took every ounce of strength for me not to exclaim "WHERE? HOW MUCH? WHAT?!" when we passed each other on the platform.
Instead, I opted for eying the bag knowingly, exchanging smiles… and Googling the tote the minute I walked in the door.

Top officials with the U.S. oil industry are urging Congress and the president to approve a controversial oil pipeline that would bring crude from Canada to refineries on the U.S. Gulf coast.
The industry says the Keystone XL Pipeline would create thousands of jobs. Environmentalists say this project would create more pollution than usual and is not needed at a time of oil abundance. The new business-friendly Republican majority in the Senate favors the project, but White House officials say President Obama, a Democrat, may veto the program.
The Keystone Pipeline would move 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Canadian tar sands across the United States to refineries on the Gulf Coast.
Advocates say the pipeline would boost the U.S. economy and create 42,000 jobs during the two-year construction process.
The head of the American Petroleum Institute, Jack Gerard, is disappointed that Obama has said he will not approve the Keystone bill, if it passes Congress.
"The needlessly protracted fight over the Keystone XL pipeline only deprives tens of thousands of hardworking Americans of well-paying jobs and our nation of a safe and efficient means of transporting much needed North American energy resources," he said.
At a December news conference, Obama said he doubts Keystone will produce anywhere near the number of jobs promised and do little to boost the economy.
"I think that there's been this tendency to really hype this thing as some magic formula to what ails the U.S. economy, and it's hard to see on paper where exactly they're getting that information from," he said.
Critics say tar sand petroleum causes more environmental damage than other kinds of oil and say it should be left in the ground.
"You essentially have to do a strip-mining operation, where you're scooping this tarry, oily earth out of the ground and putting it into very large chemical processing facilities that use enormous amounts of electricity and water," said Tyson Slocum, who speaks for advocacy organization Public Citizen.
The new Republican majority in the Senate put approving the Keystone pipeline on its agenda on the first day of the new session.
Keystone supporter Senator John Hoeven introduced a bill to approve the project and vowed quick action on the measure.
"It's about growing our economy, it's about national security, It really is about building the infrastructure we need -- pipelines, roads, rail, transmission," he said.
Keystone has been the target of many protests and skepticism by the president. But it now seems to be moving forward in the Congress. But its fate may ultimately hinge on the falling price of oil, which might eventually make the relatively expensive tar sands products unprofitable.

31 December 1939 - Spain's Mighty Sansón
Francisco Baos Rodríguez, nicknamed "Sansón" because of his strength, was in his first season with Celta and was 15 years, 8 months, and 11 days old when manager Ricardo Comesaña gave him his first call-up to the first team for their away match at Sevilla to close out the year. It was a good start for Sansón, as Celta won 4-1, but he was unable to make it last, with only five other league appearances before leaving the team in 1941.
Sansón later made a greater impact with Oviedo, with 115 appearances between 1945 and 1950, then returned to Celta, where he played in another 40 league matches in four seasons. He spent his last season with Xerez, then retired in 1956.

With almost 9,000 cases resulting in over 4,500 fatalities across three countries since December of 2013, West Africa has fallen victim to an unprecedented Ebola epidemic. The main countries affected have neither the resources nor the infrastructure necessary to account for the rapid spread of the virus, and healthcare organizations are turning to emerging technologies in an effort to find an innovative way to contain this outbreak. There is no known cure for Ebola, but there are a number of ways that we can prevent this dire situation from causing global panic.
The Ebola outbreak is believed to have started eleven months ago following the fatal illness of a two year old boy in Guinea. His death was attributed to what was an unknown form of hemorrhagic fever at the time, and his immediate family members soon became sick with identical symptoms. The boy's family is assumed to have spread the disease to neighboring villages soon after, establishing Guinea as ground zero for a viral epidemic.
While Ebola has been considered a major public health threat in Sub-Saharan Africa for decades, there was not a single case reported in the western part of the continent prior to this most recent outbreak. For this reason, the Guinean Ministry of Health was hesitant to attribute these initial fatalities to the Ebola Virus. The Ebola epidemic was not declared until March 23, inciting an emergency response from the French humanitarian organization Medecins Sans Frontieres who immediately set up an isolation center in Gueckedou.
According to the World Health Organization, Ebola is a severe form of hemorrhagic fever that can be easily transmitted from human to human. The disease is spread through direct contact with the contaminated bodily fluids of an infected individual, and the onset of symptoms occurs within 2 to 21 days. While Ebola is extremely contagious, it is not airborne. As such, efforts to isolate confirmed cases of the disease should be effective in preventing its widespread transmission.
As was previously mentioned, Western African nations do not have access to the resources required to effectively isolate and treat Ebola victims. Without the infrastructure in place to coordinate their relief efforts, governments and health organizations have recognized the need for an innovative solution.
According to an statement released by The Lancet, "The ongoing West African Ebola outbreak serves as a call to ensure access to needed diagnostic technologies and health-care resources, to accelerate the implementation of smartphone-based health applications in developing countries, and to improve regional and global surveillance and health communication."
A study released by the mobile company Ericsson states that there will be over 635 million subscriptions in Sub-Saharan Africa by the end of 2014. Mobile phones are similarly ubiquitous in Western Africa, and a potential solution to the Ebola Epidemic involves leveraging this widespread cellular adoption.
TERA, which stands for Trilogy Emergency Relief Application, was developed to aid relief efforts following the 2010 earthquake disaster in Haiti. Since then, they have partnered with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to help expand their presence. The platform is designed to be operated remotely with a connection that is hosted by GSM-based mobile network operators. TERA's software consults the mobile network to determine which cell phones are connected to the towers in a specific disaster affected region, and broadcasts a message to them via SMS. TERA's platform also manages inbound communication from the affected community, implementing keyword recognition to automatically respond to common questions. According to the IFRC website, "The TERA system helps us to save more lives by delivering timely, targeted advice to disaster affected communities that makes our aid effort more efficient."
Another potential solution involves the potential for smartphone-based syndromic surveillance to improve early detection of outbreaks. Syndromic surveillance systems analyze health-related data across multiple networks to help anticipate disease outbreaks. The tracking of certain metrics can be handled via smartphone to help detect an outbreak before it reaches epidemic proportions. For example, an increase in over the counter drug sales at a given pharmacy coinciding with influx of activity at a nearby medical clinic could be indicative of an emerging problem in that particular region.
With improved syndromic surveillance, Guinea's Ministry of Health might have been able to identify the onset of the Ebola Epidemic before its spread to neighboring countries. According to the Lancet, "Our laboratory and others in the region have shown that routine syndromic surveillance systems can be designed to rely on mobile phones, which have become ubiquitous in West Africa." This type of technology could become instrumental in the prevention of future outbreaks, and syndromic surveillance represents an excellent opportunity to circumvent the region's lack of infrastructure.
Understanding the technological trends in Western Africa has the potential to provide us with the insight necessary to get the Ebola epidemic under control. The implementation of TERA in Western Africa is an excellent start, and hopefully emerging technologies will provide supplemental support in these critical upcoming months.

Launching My Second Series
My latest release is book 1 of the Dragonsfyre series, a dark fantasy tale of political intrigue played out under the shadow of the dragon.
This story began when I bumped into a writing challenge in the blogosphere two years ago. Every weekend, writers would post a new scene of a continuing serialized fiction piece.
I really enjoyed the stories I discovered this way, which prompted me to throw my own hat into the ring.
Two years later, here I am with a whole novel to show for it. It's been quite a journey, and I'm most especially grateful to the commenters who gave me feedback week after week. You don't know how important those comments were to my evolution as a writer.
No one is safe when the dragon glides low over the Eighth Dominion. Not the high born who plot and spill blood. Not the low born who serve with one eye to the sky and the other glancing back.
Young Scorpius is fetched from the estate nursery, once raised to live among the nobility – claimed finally not by his family, but by a falconer to serve as his apprentice.
Scorpius soon learns that a noble hides his monstrous appetites beneath velvet and jewels, while the leathery-winged dragon is honest about his own. His master does his best to shield Scorpius from the world outside their cottage, but the falconer is merely a servant who must obey his own masters.
An attempt on the life of a young lord while on a hunt sends the falconer's apprentice on an abruptly different path, bringing Scorpius into the service of the House of Pruzhnino. Court intrigue sinks its talons into everyone, even Scorpius–especially a former falconer's apprentice once raised to be a lord in his own right.
"Are you troubled, my lord?"
The young noble glanced quickly at Scorpius, fixing him with an appraising stare . After a long moment, Lord Thibault chuckled. "I dare say I have a dominion's worth of trouble."
"We're pleased to offer this small consolation, then."
"You know, ever since our last conversation, well…frankly, I've been dreaming about what it would have been like to have never been collected up from the nursery, as you were not."
Scorpius looked at Lord Thibault, trying to gauge the young man's mood before looking away in time to avoid eye contact. The noble gazed out over the woods, lost in troubled thought.
"Surely not, my lord," Scorpius said finally.
"Do you even know what's brewing?" Lord Thibault asked. He turned and looked at Scorpius as though the lighthearted noble who had arrived earlier had been merely a front for the sake of his companions.
Wishing he could dart a glance at his master for any kind of sign or direction, Scorpius took a breath, gathered himself and made his choice. "Can't say that I do, my lord."
Nodding his head toward Richolf, the noble said, "Wonder if he knows, and he just hasn't told you."
It was Scorpius' turn to chuckle. "That would be just like him, my lord."
"Really. Perhaps our masters aren't very different after all."
Hearing this noble try to bridge the gap between them made Scorpius' heart ache with such unexpected force that he took a step back.
"Well, I shall tell you a little something, then. Something your master should know, if he doesn't already."
"My lord." Scorpius looked into Lord Thibault's eyes, surprised to see the depth of weariness suddenly exposed.
"The Troubles have begun." Lord Thibault's voice caught as he said it. He blinked rapidly and looked away.
It all made sense now.
His master had not glared at him when Lord Thibault swept Scorpius to the hunt, leaving the rest of his retinue behind. That look had been a warning, the only kind permitted between a falconer and his apprentice.
Suddenly Scorpius' hands shook. His master seemed so very far away across the field, rather than not far enough.
Lord Thibault swiped a hand across his face, turning to gaze at Scorpius. It no longer seemed possible that they were close in age, not with the weight that seemed to bear down upon the noble.
Memories tumbled forward, stopping Scorpius' breath.
They jumbled through his mind--a noble's rod slicing the back of Scorpius' head, the lords fighting on the doorstep, the sword plunging into the royal brother. They were all part of The Troubles, weren't they?
Across the field, Richolf appeared to be calmly collecting the braces of game, but he was staring over at Scorpius. Was he trying to tell him something, give him some further warning?
His master still carried the wounds from those days and nights of torture. He'd been put to the question because the royal brothers had decided the falconer's cottage was tucked away enough to settle their score out here. Nothing to do with the falconer, and yet his body held the torment even now.
Of course, not even that could compare to the Hunt of Screams.
Scorpius met Lord Thibault's gaze, suddenly angered by the noble's tears. "The Troubles, my lord?" he said, his voice tight as he fought to control himself. "Yes they've made their presence known, even to those who try to live apart from them."
Once again, instead of taking offense to such a tone from a falconer's boy, Lord Thibault dropped his reserve even lower. "Am I in danger here?" he asked plainly, staring deeply into Scorpius' eyes.
Glancing over at his master, he saw his attempts to gather the courtiers and head from the field. Yet there were two laggards.
Scorpius busied himself with his own braces of game. "My master warns of it, my lord."
Lord Thibault started to turn, to look toward the others.
"Don't!" Scorpius hissed.
The noble froze.
"Carry on as you would, my lord," Scorpius ordered, not caring that he did so. He risked another glance as he crouched to tie the games hens together. Those two courtiers bent their heads together. More to the point, one glanced in Lord Thibault's direction.
"We must run for it." Scorpius stopped his work but remained in position. "Will you do it?"
He wished he could look at Lord Thibault, but doing so now would plunge the knife in.
"Where do we go?" the noble said, his voice calmer now that it had come to this.
"They are in my forest, my lord. I know these trees, I know the hills, and they do not. Just follow me."
Scorpius rose, leaving the brace of game and catching Lord Thibault's eye. At his nod, they bolted toward the treeline.

Maybe these are going to be weekly trailers as we lead up to the game's launch at the end of November? I kind of hope not, because with a continual barrage of marketing that regular, there'll be nothing new to discover once the game actually comes out. OK that's a lie; I'm really just whining because the game is still so far away.
Ubisoft has released a second Island Survival Guide for Far Cry 3. If you missed the first one, you can find it over here. This second episode is subtitled "Psychopaths, Drugs and Other Dangers" but really should have been called "Guns, Guns, a Bear in a Cage, S**t Blowing up and OH GOD A CROCODILE'S EATING HIS ARM!" Yeah, I'm expecting a phone call with a job offer from Ubisoft marketing any day now. Aaaaany day.
Hit the jump to hear this week's one-liner from Agent Huntley. It's even more lame than last week, but I think he's starting to grow on me. It's like he's channeling Horatio Caine, which clearly means he's awesome.

In line with Eating Disorders Awareness Week, Sophie Harrison confronts the misconceptions associated with Anorexia Nervosa and explains the realities of this serious mental illness. Some readers may find this article distressing.
"I TRIED being anorexic for four hours, and then I was like, I need some bagels". I read this in a magazine interview last year, and it epitomises one of the most common misconceptions about eating disorders: that they are a choice. I have been hesitant to discuss this topic openly before. This partly stems from my determination that University could be a fresh start, but also a fear of the stigma that is attached to it. Nevertheless, as part of Eating Disorders Awareness Week, I want to use my experience, as someone in recovery from anorexia, to unveil the awful realities of this illness, but also to show how much possibility lies in recovery.
I have seen celebrities quoted speaking of their 'anorexic phase', or how they starved for a film role until they decided to start eating 'normally' again. However, this projects the myth of the 'diet gone wrong' which suggests eating disorders are rooted in actions. They are mental illnesses; disordered eating is the symptom of far deeper issues, often rooted in perfectionism and self-doubt. If it were simply a 'phase', thousands of people would not die from it, nor only 30 per cent reach a state of 'full recovery'. This illness is far more complex than simply deciding to 'eat bagels'. It requires so much strength, with support and understanding vital.
My own experience of an eating disorder, for example, is strongly connected to my Type One Diabetes. The two illnesses are, by nature, quite similar. Both place a large focus on numbers and food; nutrition labels and carb-counting have been part of my normality, as long as I can remember, while many foods such as pizza, sweets, and even bananas were 'off limits'. When I went onto the insulin pump, aged 11, it was supposed to enable me to be more liberal around food choices; however, this never really happened, and I realise now how unnecessarily restrictive I was.
Diabetes also exacerbated inherent traits of perfectionism and self-doubt. I have always been fastidious in maintaining good blood sugar control, but my feelings of failure when seeing high blood-sugar readings intensified as the years went on. It was during my GCSE years that I consciously reduced my carbohydrate intake to try and stabilise them, and this was the catalyst for what became a severe eating disorder. I spent my Lower Sixth in a vicious cycle of carb restriction and purging after meals, and by the start of Upper Sixth this had developed into Anorexia.
I was in denial, pushing my self to extremes to perform well at school, undertaking an excessive number of extra-curricular activities even for someone in a healthy physical and mental state. My underlying blood-sugar was worryingly low and this, coupled with malnourishment, deeply affected my cognitive functioning. I strove to create the 'perfect university application', my dream being to apply to Oxbridge. The paradox of the illness is that it convinces you that you are in control, but you in reality you grow more and more powerless.
The damage I was inflicting on my body makes me horrified to this day; when I first sought help, after my AS levels, I had electrolyte imbalances and worryingly low blood pressure. Yet it was only a series of reality checks – being told I could not apply to Oxbridge, discussions of inpatient treatment (which would mean leaving school altogether) and seeing how much my family was suffering – that made me actively choose to recover in November 2012. I pushed myself to end the vicious purging cycle, and over the following months gradually increased my calorie intake to gain back to a healthy weight. I used my offer from Exeter as a concrete goal; the fear and guilt were temporary, but my future was fixed in being healthy enough to live it.
My experience has opened my eyes to the worrying shortage in treatment, both specifically related to Diabetes and eating disorders, and as a whole. While some resources are incredible, far more support and understanding is needed. I did have a treatment team, but they presented my options as very black and white; either self-motivated recovery, with minimal support, or enter an inpatient unit. The therapist I was given also had little knowledge of Diabetes, and this is where the incredible support of my Diabetes nurse was invaluable.
I am hugely indebted to my family for the past year. Eating disorders place them in a catch-22 position; when they try to force the issue, even someone committed to recovery often becomes defensive and more introverted. It deeply upsets me when people pass judgement on families. You cannot fairly do this, without being in that situation. The same is true when labelling people with eating disorders as selfish or attention seeking. Everyday, I still feel overwhelming guilt for what my family went through, but I never knowingly hurt them. It was largely due to my fear of hurting them, that I avoided seeking help sooner.
Eating disorders upend logic. My distress over eating, blood sugar highs and weight gain, irrational as they may have seemed, became so real to me in my increasingly malnourished state. I genuinely believed that an extra gram of carbohydrate would send my blood sugar rocketing. My self-worth became concentrated in the number on a blood sugar meter or scale. The fear of weight gain was not rooted in vanity. When my refreshingly honest friend told me last Summer that I looked "so much healthier, thank god… you looked horrendous!". She's right, I did. No person losing weight to 'look good', would have chosen to look like I did.
I am reluctant to use the term 'the eating disorder voice', as it can aggravate the 'mental illness' stigma. Nevertheless, nearly ever person will have experienced niggling moments of insecurity in their lives. With an Eating Disorder, imagine a near-constant stream of these negative thoughts. You become consumed by a paranoia that you are undeserving, or that people will judge you; the tragic irony is that food and weight become the outlet for these emotions, yet the resulting malnourishment only magnifies them. Moreover, when people dismiss those with mental illnesses as 'irrational' or 'messed up', it only increases these feelings of unworthiness.
Recovery is about choosing, everyday, to go against this distorted 'reality'. In my case, this was also not necessarily the reality I lived with for ten years prior to the eating disorder. I have to try and grasp that many of the 'diabetes rules' I had were grounded in misinformation, both by dieticians and the media. I now have facts to help me: in the last year I have eaten former 'off limit' foods such as bagels, doughnuts and *queue gasps from my old dietician* I ate my first banana in memory… not only am I still here to tell the tale, but my blood sugars did not go out of control!
I cannot ever truly escape numbers; I will always have to carb count, and will inevitably experience blood sugar highs and lows. But they do not have to define me. I am not a blood sugar reading. I am not a number of insulin units. I am also not a weight, or calories and carbohydrates. I am not a grade. I am not a percentage. I amme. And, at the heart of this illness, that is where the greatest challenge lies – accepting that the simple state of being can be good enough.
It is a process that takes time and not being ashamed to ask for support. At my Leavers' Dinner last June, I was at in a strong place with my recovery. However, the meal that was served provoked my anxiety, and my friend observed how I suddenly went from carefree and smiling, to withdrawn and worried. I think, in that moment, she got some insight into how powerful this illness is. With support from her, I ate the meal and that was another step forward.
With so much misunderstanding of this illness – particularly the belief that it is a choice – those suffering can often feel unworthy of help. If you are reading this, and struggle with an eating disorder in any form, you did not choose or deserve this. To give some blunt examples, I do not believe anyone would choose half an apple with a candle in as their 18th Birthday 'cake'. For this birthday, I was also given "the only thing I had ever really asked for" – a puppy. I adored her, yet it would be months before I would be strong enough to walk her by myself. The first time we took her out on a lead, I only stayed outside a matter of minutes, because I was so cold.
What you can choose, and do deserve, is to fight this illness. Last summer, I took Millie on her afternoon walk nearly every day. It is the small things that help in recovery so much. Like when my sister and I went for afternoon tea last summer, and she said how incredibly strong I was. Things like this remind me that she understands how real this illness is, but also helps to give back some of the self-worth that the Eating Disorder stole.
It is not that I don't look in the mirror now, and find fault with what I see. It is that I can now look beyond this, and see the life in my eyes and a smile that isn't a facade. Furthermore, I realise that, even at my lowest weight, to the Eating Disorder it would never be enough. I genuinely saw myself as bigger at my lowest weight than I do now. The reality is the only weight that will be 'low enough' for anorexia is the one that puts you in a coffin. So why chase what can never be, when in doing so you sacrifice almost everything else?
Nourishment isn't a magical fix, but it makes fixing possible. The eating disorder, quite literally, starves you of the chance of living. From being on the brink of a hospital admission just over a year ago, I gained back to a healthy weight, achieved my predicted A-Levels, and am now at University studying the subject I love. I am still anxious over some food, and diabetes control, but I am more scared of losing all the things I mentioned above.
I hope that if, prior to reading this, you did believe that eating disorders are either a choice, or easily ,'cured'; I hope you realise that this isn't the case. To me, Anorexia is as real an illness as Diabetes. I did not choose either, but what I can choose is not to have my life defined by them. I also hope that anyone questioning if recovery is worth it, or indeed possible, can trust that it is.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker clearly misspoke on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday when he lumped attacks on former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital into the same category as attacks on President Obama's connection to Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Conventional wisdom dictates that Booker's gaffe hurts him politically. Conventional wisdom could well be wrong.
"While he may take grief in the short run, it will only serve to benefit him in the long run," argued one senior Democratic party operative granted anonymity to speak candidly about such a politically sensitive topic.
Here's how Booker's comments could work to his long-term benefit.
Remember that prior to this episode, Booker was really only known by political/media types who cover this sort of stuff for a living and by those in the Twittersphere where the mayor has long been a major presence. (His rescue of a woman from a burning building made national news but was a blip on the overall radar.)
In the last 72 hours, Booker has been everywhere. You literally can't turn on the television without hearing about — or from — him. The latest example? His interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Monday night, which, if you missed it, is here:
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
It's hard to imagine how Booker could get that sort of publicity even if he was trying to — and, to be clear, we don't think he was trying to. (He offered this introspective tweet on Tuesday: "In your most difficult times, hope is generated on the inside. This is the essence of inner strength.")
And what has Booker been talking about during his time in the national spotlight? Mostly about how negative campaigning is a terrible thing that makes people cynical about American politics, which, of course, is an opinion held by the vast majority of voters.
But, wait, you say. Booker has also been publicly scolded by the White House — and many liberal Democrats — for his seeming defense of not only Romney but the benefits of private equity. (President Obama's lead political strategist David Axelrod has said Booker is "wrong" in his defense of private equity.)
"Progressives are livid," said one senior Democratic strategist who, like everyone we talked to for this story, requested anonymity to talk about the matter. "Cory already had the Wall Street crowd and already had a reputation as an independent thinker. He just created a lot of questions amongst folks he would need in any future Democratic primary."
And yet, there are plenty of people in the Democratic professional political class who see Booker's actions over the last three days as less crazy and more crazy like a fox.
"Whatever race he chooses next will be an eight-figure campaign, and in the New York market, it's political suicide to write off Wall Street money," said one Democratic consultant. "He's no stranger to Wall Street but he also has this transformative air about him that makes straddling this divide possible."
Booker is widely rumored as a statewide candidate in New Jersey — either for governor in 2013 against Chris Christie or for Senate in 2014. (A recent spoof video Booker did with Christie threw some cold water on the idea that the two men were readying for a race against one another.)
There is also some genuine political value in Booker putting a bit of distance — rhetorically speaking — between himself and Obama. As a fast-rising African American politician, the comparison between Obama and Booker is inevitable.
But, Obama is not the most popular politician in the country these days so being seen as an Obama clone is not as politically beneficial as it once was. And, Booker undoubtedly wants to make his own way — whatever race he chooses next — rather than being seen as simply following Obama's well-trod path.
All of the above is to simply say that to assume that Booker badly damaged himself over the past three days may be to misread how the politics of his comments ultimately will play out.
"Long term I think this is probably a net positive for [Booker]," said one Democratic consultant closely following the situation. "Realistically the base is always going to be fascinated by him/love him anyway."

Reporting from Tokyo — A Japanese utility agreed Monday to take its reactors off-line at a seaside nuclear power plant, just days after Prime Minister Naoto Kan called for the shutdown over concerns that a strong earthquake and tsunami could provoke another nuclear crisis.
Board members of the Chubu Electric Power Co., Japan's third-largest electric supplier, met behind closed doors over the weekend before announcing late Monday that the utility would temporarily shut down the three reactors at its Hamaoka facility not far from Nagoya.
Kan's request last week signaled that the central government would at least for now seek to rein in an industry that in recent years has wielded increasing influence in the ongoing national debate over energy policies.
After a magnitude 9 quake March 11 triggered a tsunami that damaged the coastal Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, releasing radioactivity into the surrounding area, government officials evaluated the nation's 54 reactors for vulnerability in case of a similar disaster — prompting Kan's call for a shutdown.

The hash was in the river Elbe.
Listed as reached on the Graticule page. It appears from the Peeron map and the fact that the hashpoint was in the river that an alternate hashpoint was chosen.
Indeed I have been at the Northern shore. Unfortunately, I am very busy at the moment and lack the muse to document the expedition right now. --Hermann 12:07, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Opioid Overdoses: How Do We Balance Help and Harm?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - February 04, 2016
Opioid pain medication is an emotional topic for everyone. Patients who struggle with chronic noncancer pain and need opioid medications feel they are portrayed as addicts when they ask for refills. Each week I see many patients using opioids for the appropriate reason, who have tried and failed with other medications and yet feel stigmatized by the use of medicine they need.
The flipside, however, is that more and more of us are dying from prescription pain medication overdoses, in addition to heroin overdoses when addicts move from Oxycontin to heroin. See More
Is Your Medication Making You Tired?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - June 10, 2014
One in ten visits to a primary care doctor is for fatigue. While certainly not the only cause, your medications can be the culprit for making you sleepy. Here are the players you need to know about.
Beta blockers. These are medications used for high blood pressure, migraine prevention, control of heart rate in atrial fibrillation, and they improve mortality after heart attack. Ok, now for the downside. They can make you sleepy. See More

Financial Assistance Programs
Medicaid includes several programs for children, pregnant women, adults with children, some adults without children, and disabled adults. To be eligible for most Medicaid programs, you must be a U.S. citizen or have been a legal permanent resident of the U.S. for at least five years.
Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+)
CHP+ is a program for children and pregnant women who do not meet the income requirement for Medicaid. Eligibility is based on family size and income.
Colorado Indigent Care Program (CICP)
CICP is a program for U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents who are residents of Colorado but do not qualify for Medicaid or CHP+. Eligibility is based on family size, income and resources. If you are not a resident of Denver County and you have an unpaid Denver Health bill, you can apply for CICP at Denver Health without proof of Denver County residency, but you will not be able to come to Denver Health for non-emergent care.
For your current hospital stay, if you enroll in CICP within 90 days of when you leave the hospital, you will be billed a co-payment for your hospital stay. The amount of your co-payment is based on family size, income, and resources. CICP is not a health insurance plan.
Denver Health Financial Assistance Program (DFAP)
DFAP is a discount program for Denver County residents that helps lower the cost of health care services received at Denver Health. DFAP is not health insurance. It cannot be used with any other health insurance program, including Medicaid or Medicare. DFAP utilizes a co-pay, sliding fee scale based on your income and family size.

NORA Services Sector Program Archive
NOTE: This page is archived for historical purposes and is no longer being maintained or updated.
Letter from Manager, Services Sector Program
February 9, 2012
Dear Services Sector Stakeholders,
The NORA Services Sector is a highly diverse sector with nearly 65 million U.S. workers distributed across 11 major NAICS industry groups. The work accomplished by these workers, day after day, is even more diverse. While we can celebrate their contributions to the well-being of all of us, we know that some jobs and tasks have inherent risks. The National Services Agenda reflects what is known about those risks, what gaps in knowledge are most important to remedy, and what existing intervention and prevention information can be delivered to workers and their supervisors in order to mitigate or eliminate the risks.
An important priority for the Sector is to address needs of workers who experience disproportionate incidence of occupational injuries and illnesses. Other important issues that cut across much of the services industry include occupational stress and musculoskeletal disorders. Numerous services occupations and industries continue to pose health risks from chemical, physical and biological hazards. Finally, while many can easily recognize the potential for workplace violence in banks and among public safety workers, the risk for homicide is great for workers in the restaurant, hotel, automotive repair, and laundry industries.
Reduction of occupational disease and injury relies on effective partnerships between academia, industry, labor, trade associations, and other government agencies. Thanks to our many partners who have already contributed to the agenda and helped ensure that its goals are relevant to workers across the sector and to those working on projects and activities that address the priority goals selected by the NORA Services Sector Council.
We welcome comments on the sector goals and the future direction of research and prevention activities. Please contact us through email or our web site with your ideas on creating a healthful work environment for all services workers.
Terri Schnorr, Ph.D.
Director, Division of Surveillance, Hazard Evaluations, and Field Studies, NIOSH
Manager, NIOSH Services Sector Program
The National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) is a partnership program to stimulate innovative research and workplace interventions. In combination with other initiatives, the products of NORA are expected to reduce the occurrence of injuries and illnesses at work. NORA entered its second decade (2006-2016) embracing the concept that occupational research and translation efforts be oriented around specific industrial groups or sectors.
Services Sector
The Services Sector is one of ten such groupings within NORA. It is a highly diverse sector with over 65 million U.S. workers distributed across 11 major NAICS industry groups including Information; Education, Arts, Entertainment and Recreations; Accommodations and Food Services; and Public Administration.
NIOSH Services Sector Program
The mission of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) research program for the Services Sector is to eliminate occupational diseases, injuries, and fatalities among persons working in these industries through a focused program of research and prevention. The Services Sector will continue to evolve as new technologies and products are brought into the marketplace and the workplace. Through the cooperative efforts of workers, management, labor, practitioners and scientists, NIOSH will continue to reduce the economic and personal impact of occupational disease, disability, and death through high-quality research and effective prevention strategies.
The NIOSH Services Sector Program uses some NIOSH resources to facilitate the work of the NORA Services Sector Council. The Services program also tracks impacts achieved by NIOSH projects and partner efforts in support of sector goals.
NORA Services Sector Council
The NORA Services Sector Council sets national priorities and facilitates the development of partnerships to improve occupational safety and health in the Services Sector. The Council members represent diverse interests from academia, state, federal, and local governments, labor unions, non-profits, and trade associations. The Council is co-led by a NIOSH representative and an individual from outside of NIOSH. The Sector Council also draws on an active group of corresponding members who participate in ad hoc working groups to help implement action plans developed for specific priority goals.
National Services Agenda
The National Services Agenda was created by the NORA Services Sector Council based on broad public input. The agenda established many strategic goals and has implementation and activity/output goals for recommended actions on the part of many partners and stakeholders. The agenda helps guide research and intervention activities at NIOSH and for our partners and stakeholders.

The lawyer for Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff says his client is being used as a scapegoat in the investigation of who leaked the identity of a CIA operative.
Defense lawyer Theodore Wells says his client, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, is being unfairly blamed by the White House for the leak of the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Libby is charged with five felony counts of lying to a grand jury and to police during the investigation.
He went on trial Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
Prosecutors opened their investigation after a newspaper columnist revealed Plame's identity in 2003. It is a federal crime to reveal the name of a CIA agent.
Attorney Wells says the White House tried to blame Libby for the leak, to protect President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove. Rove was investigated but not charged in the case.
Libby has told investigators he learned of Plame's identity from a reporter. But the prosecution says Libby knew about Plame from other government officials.
Plame's husband is former ambassador Joseph Wilson. He had criticized the Bush administration's use of intelligence before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The leak happened soon after Wilson wrote an open editorial in the New York Times expressing his views.
Vice President Cheney is expected to testify during the trial. It is expected to last about six weeks.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.

Two people familiar with the deal say the Chicago Sky have traded Imani Boyette and Tamera Young to Atlanta for Jordan Hooper and the Dream's first-round pick in next year's draft.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press on Monday because the deal hadn't been officially announced yet.
Young is averaging 10.8 points for the Sky, who are in 10th place in the WNBA playoff race. Boyette is averaging 4.6 points and 4.4 rebounds. She was the 10th pick by the Sky in the 2016 draft.
Hooper is averaging 2.6 points for the Dream, who are in eighth place in the postseason chase.

As an apprentice, you will work under a supervising chef in an establishment known as a "sponsoring house." This may be a restaurant, hospital, adult living community or other foodservice facility. You will rotate around stations and log your progress in a logbook.
The sections of training in the logbook are titled by work stations in the kitchen. An apprentice will progress through all of these stations over the term of apprenticeship. The following is a list of stations for cook and pastry cook:
The ACFEF Apprenticeship Program recently partnered with American
Technical Publishers to create National Apprenticeship Training
Program for Cooks. The educational resource is available in 10
individual modules or a complete book. More
As an apprentice you will be required to complete 445 hours of related instruction courses outside of your hands-on experience. These courses are related to the competencies you will be learning in the kitchen and can be taught in various ways, including classroom, qualified in-house instruction and online courses. Each program develops its own approach to offering related instruction in the apprenticeship stations.

Greed Corp.
As the first entry in the Mistbound universe, Greed Corp. represents the same style of board games found in the Xbox Live Arcade releases Catan and Carcassone, while distinguishing itself with a dynamic playing field. The game is a love letter to the industrial revolution and places an emphasis on the strategic benefits of environmental destruction.
From an overhead perspective, the player's aim is to take control of the grid and eliminate the enemy presence completely. With plenty of length in the game's campaign and numerous multiplayer options, Greed Corp. will justify its 800 Microsoft Point price tag, at least after you've had some time to move beyond the game's tutorial, which serves as an extremely poor representation of the depth you'll experience throughout the remainder of the game.
What just about every match in Greed Corp. comes down to is trying to section off parts of each map as island bases for your faction. Destroying plots of land with harvesters will not only destroy whichever tile they're placed on, but will also level the surrounding tiles and earn coins for each effected surface. While it may take some trial and error figuring out which tiles need to be dropped in specific missions, it's ultimately a satisfying experience watching the towering platforms crumble from Mistbound's skyline, as the debris falls away from the playing field.
By moving units called walkers over tiles, the hexagons will take on the color of your faction and allow for you to build on that particular lot of land. Whether you're playing as the Cartel, Empire, Freemen, or the Pirates faction, the differences don't go beyond aesthetic representations, with some different themed buildings and slightly different looking walkers.
While the gameplay may be turn-based, each turn is confined to 60 seconds, pausing only when harvesters self-destruct and gun turrets are ordered to fire on the opposition. There's no way of skipping CPU turns and they take their time building walkers and ordering them around the grid. This is fairly frustrating, as a lot of your success depends upon trial and error in the campaign, meaning you may have to watch the same scenario unfold repeatedly. This turns out to be something of a mixed blessing, though, as online players typically use up all of their time and waiting any longer than 3 minutes between turns would cause matches to drag on forever.
There's a refreshing dose of flexibility in the game's multiplayer. A combination of computer, local, or online players can be grouped together for Xbox Live battles. It's good to see Xbox Live Arcade developers still believing in the concept of local multiplayer, something that's been excluded from far too many games on the service. Taking into account that there's already an absence of interest in forming an online community so close to the game's launch, this addition is likely the only way you'll be able to experience the multiplayer. There may be a few glitches with the leader boards, as a couple of my ranked games have gone unrecorded, although I can't apologize for the fact that only two-hundred people have been ranked with two full weeks separating the game from its release at the time of this writing.
Accompanied by smooth jazz, the game sells the gloomy atmosphere W!Games is going for quite nicely, as they seem to be holding themselves to the dreary overtones and highly industrialized themes at the center of Greed Corp.'s style. It's a different sort of game, filling its niche fairly well. This is a surprisingly good introduction to the universe of Mistbound, even if the dynamic layers of the playing field aren't necessarily enough to make it a better game than the German-style board games that inspired it. If you're looking into buying Greed Corp., just be sure that you're doing so for the right reasons; while the game's not for everyone, players with enough patience to wade through the tutorial, however, will find an enjoyable, lengthy campaign, complimented by a promising Xbox Live mode that just doesn't have the backing of a strong community.

We shall not forget
By MORGAN MANNS
As the Wounded Warrior Project states, "The greatest casualty is being forgotten."
Fostoria resident Cindy Parsons has been working hard to ensure that veterans such as her son, Shane Parsons, and others like him are not forgotten after their services to their country.
Through Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) — a non-profit organization that serves military service members who incurred service-connected wounds, injuries or illness on or after Sept. 11, 2001 — Cindy has become a voice of empowerment, sharing Shane's story across the country.
In addition, Shane is receiving first-hand care through the project's Independence Program, which brings together the warrior and his/her support team while creating an individualized plan focusing on specific goals for the warrior.
"This program helps injured soldiers get back into the community and be more independent," Cindy said. "There's nothing out there like this."
Cindy said the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) helps veterans through rehabilitation, but once they feel the veterans have reached their fullest potential or once they go home, the care once provided comes to an end and veterans must figure out how to fit into the community. WWP "fills in those gaps" and continues to provide care for wounded veterans throughout their lives.
With only a month left of his first tour in Iraq, Shane, then 21, was severely injured Sept. 30, 2006 by an EFP (explosive force projectile), or roadside bomb, that blew up as the Humvee he was driving went over it. Consequently, his left leg was lost and his right leg was later amputated in order to save his life.
He also suffered severe anoxic brain injuries, including short-term and long-term memory loss and cognitive deficits and post traumatic stress disorder, from losing a significant amount of blood, going into cardiac arrest and losing oxygen to the brain.
Although it took him years to remember, Shane, now 28, was able to recall events from the day of and the days following the explosion.
"I had that day off," he said, adding that he took the spot of his friend who had recently found out his wife was pregnant. "We were three or four miles out. I remember getting hit; I went into shock. I went to get out, to walk it off and to start shooting back, but I couldn't (walk)."
Shane was taken to a hospital in Germany and later flown to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the states. He was honorably medically discharged from the Army in 2009, at which time he fell into a VA gap and became involved with WWP, according to Cindy. VA stopped providing speech therapy for Shane once they felt he reached his fullest potential. WWP would continue to provide that care throughout his life.
Through the Independence Program, Shane is able to work with an Adult Disability Literacy Tutor, Cindy Roff, who helps him read and write; a personal trainer through BodyFix, Shawna Reinhart, who helps him retain muscle mass; and a community support worker through Goodwill Industries, Donte Johnson, who helps him get involved within the community.
"It's helped me immensely psychologically and physically," Shane said. "I've overcome that injury. I'm a part of something again. I'm not just a statistic. It's helped empower me and my mother to succeed and go on in life. That's the big thing."
Shane has been across the country skiing, hunting, fishing, sky diving and more through the program. He currently plays for an ice sled hockey team for wounded veterans, the Ohio Warriors, He has been active in the community by assisting the Fostoria High School football team, traveling to various high schools and talking to students, sharing his story and empowering them.
"I don't know where we'd be if we didn't have this program," Cindy said. "I shudder to think about it. Talking to other vets and sharing his story is our therapy. With the help of people like Donte, (Shane) has become immensely different and more attentive. He speaks from the heart and is very passionate.
"A lot of soldiers come back that have PTSD and they drink and do drugs and play video games because that's all they can do to cope on their own. With this program, they have large support groups that get them to be independent and help them cope in a healthy, active way."
A more recent program WWP offers is the Long-Term Support Trust program, which ensures services to the severely wounded who, upon the loss of their caregiver, are at risk for institutionalization.
"If something happens to me tomorrow, what's going to happen to Shane?" Cindy said. "With this program, they bring a team in to work with Shane to give him the most independent lifestyle to continue on and make sure his immediate and long-term needs are met."
WWP currently has an "I Mean It" campaign, which is a $30 million commitment to serving seriously injured veterans who would otherwise be at risk for institutionalization. Cindy said WWP is requesting individuals to pledge their support for the programs, at no cost, so that wounded veterans continue to receive care for the rest of their lives. The list of pledges will be taken to Capitol Hill to show the government that they want wounded warriors to receive long-term care.
Through WWP's Independence and Long-Term Support Trust programs, injured veterans are receiving the life-long care they need to be able to learn to live independently and to the fullest.
For more information on the Wounded Warrior Project or to pledge support, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
"As a mom, I can only do so much," Cindy said. "I'll do whatever it takes for him to achieve his fullest independence and for him to be happy. He wants to be out with the guys and part of a team. (WWP) allows him to do that.
"He's come a long way and I'm so proud of him. He's my hero."

GP practices and pharmacies
You can get NHS stop smoking support at more than 50 GP practices across West Sussex. See this list of GP surgeries offering stop smoking support. You can also get stop smoking support at any of the pharmacies listed here.
If you would like to make your quit attempt at your GP surgery or at a participating pharmacy, either phone or drop in to book an appointment to talk to the trained advisor.
These stop smoking services are free. They will advise on suitable medications to help you quit.
It is a fact that you are four times more likely to be a successful quitter if you have professional support from an advisor, compared to trying alone.
How long does a course of treatment last?
Any treatment will be explained in detail by a health professional. However, courses of NRT or varenicline (Champix) generally last about twelve weeks, and Zyban nine weeks.
How much will advice and treatment cost?
NHS services are free. Any treatment (NRT, Zyban, Champix) is available on prescription so you only pay the prescription charge. If you don't pay for your prescriptions then treatment is free.
Further tips and tools can be found on the Smokefree, NHS Choices and One You websites.

Sometimes I envy those Amish.
We are having a bad technology month. I actually feel like we have a technology curse. I am sort of hoping other people read this and say, "no, this stuff happens to me, too". Because I feel like the constant breaking/crashing/rebooting/ exclamation-point-within-a-triangle thing is just a big fat episode of me being punked.
Punked by technology.
- We just cancelled our Uverse cable, because a) ATT is like an abusive boyfriend who I needed to break up with, and b) we didn't like our cable going down every time our internet was out, because WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THEN, TALK TO EACH OTHER? So we switched to regular old DSL and satellite cable, only we forgot to get a landline extended to the new cable, so we can't order movies on demand. Which wouldn't be a big deal, except that:
2. Our DVD player broke. Which wouldn't be a big deal, because we have two laptops that can play movies. Except that:
3. One of our laptops overheats and shuts down every ten minutes or so, and the other will not send the VGA signal to our tv. (The one that overheats is the identical model laptop and the tv picks up the signal from that one just fine).
4. In addition to said faulty laptops, I also have a netbook – purchased with a fantasy of myself composing blog posts from exotic locations like the beach or the local park. (That has never happened). The 'z' key popped off while I was typing, so I sent it back for service since it was still under warranty. The computer came back with the 'z' key replaced and the ENTIRE DRIVE ERASED AND UNFORMATTED. Why they even needed to turn on the computer at all to fix a key on the keyboard, I have no idea. So now I get to reformat the computer and wonder how many photos and blog drafts I forgot to back-up before sending it in.
5. I have my new tv set up to record So You Think You Can Dance and instead it records (daily) two hours of a Persian news program. That I inexplicably often watch for several minutes. I guess this is less a technology problem, and more a personal issue. Similarly: I found myself watching the last ten minutes of Sesame Street the other day after Mark had run to the store with Karis. I was alone, in my house . . . watching Abby's Flying Fairy School with glazed eyes. And I wasn't even drunk. Though I suppose that would have been worse. Actually, I'm not sure which is worse.
6. Mark and I both have iphones, but we use them unlocked on T-Mobile because we are
miserly cheapskates frugal. But because of this, we can't update our operating system, which means that we can't use most apps, or really receive any help from either Mac or T-Mobile when our phones start acting wonky and sluggish. And both our phones are acting wonky and sluggish. 7. Mark finally bought the ipad he's been dreaming of for the better part of a year . . . and one week later, they announced the new, improved ipad. And suddenly this piece of technology that Mark was so smitten with was old, lame, and inferior. So he decided to take it back . . . except first he tried to sync it with his computer so he could save the documents he made on his ipad, including a lengthy proposal for a consulting client. He somehow lost everything.
8. Last night Mark took the ipad back and now has to wait an ENTIRE FOUR DAYS before the new ipad comes out. He is now acting like it the loss of his ipad is the biggest inconvenience ever. Even though he had it for a total of seven days. Also, all four of the children are also going through withdrawal from the ipad.
And don't get me started on how confounded I often am with itunes, how my blog is randomly cutting off the side of certain posts, how my GPS system needs updating, and how I can't figure out how to use StumbleUpon or Tumblr even though, by all accounts, I should know these things as a blogger. Today I posted something to Tumbler and realized Tumblr was sending all of it to Twitter. A couple days ago Posterous updated my blog.
I know it's a bit ridiculous to complain (can someone say first-world problems?). I know we are lucky to even have these things, and that they are essential to our jobs, yada yada yada. I just can't help but think that sometimes all of this stuff meant to streamline our lives is actually just making it more complicated.
But, there is this:
That would be my inbox. With NO NEW MESSAGES. It's even more liberating than I thought it would be. Now, to keep it that way . . .

Cimeosil is one of a number of scar treatments on the market. This product claims to improve the appearance of all scars, especially raised scars such as keloids and other hypertrophy scars. There are four basic products available in the Cimeosil line-up:
1. Scar Gels
2. Laser Gels
3. Gel Sheeting
4. Scar Management Kits
If you have scars that you would like to diminish, you may be looking into scar treatments that will help, and have run across Cimeosil in your research.
Many consumers nowadays like to look before they leap when it comes to pulling the trigger on purchasing a previously untried product. This is wise. No matter what you want or need, you will usually find a multitude of choices and it pays to dig a little, in order to unearth all the information you need to make an informed buying decision.
What Is Cimeosil?
Cimeosil is one of a number of scar treatments on the market. It is manufactured by a company called Allied Biochemical that seems to specialize in body contouring type implants and medical silicone products such as sheets and tubing.
This product claims to improve the appearance of all scars, especially raised scars such as keloids and other hypertrophy scars. The product website states that its products will reduce both the redness and thickness of scars, and will work on fresh as well as old scars.
Product Details
There Are Four Basic Products Available In The Cimeosil Line-Up:
- Scar Gels
- Laser Gels
- Gel Sheeting
- Scar Management Kits
One of the first things you generally like to know about a product that will be applied to your skin is what is in it. Unfortunately, discovering the exact ingredients of this product is challenging. It seems that they are all made with medical silicone, other than that there is no information available.
The scar gels are apparently a silicone or silicone based gel that you apply directly to the scar. The laser gels are formulated for sensitive skin, ordinarily facial scars.
The gel sheeting is available in specialized shapes to accommodate a variety of scars, such as breast reconstruction and others. The scar management kits include gel sheeting and Cimeosil gel.
If you buy the scar gel, it is available in a range of package sizes containing up to a 12 pack of 14 gram gels. The laser gels come in a 5 gram and a 14 gram tube. If you opt for gel sheeting, you have several choices as to size and shape. The scar management kit, as noted above, contains one 3.75 inch by 3.75 inch piece of gel sheeting and one 5 gram tube of scar gel.
One pro is that the product line up offers different types of products. This would be helpful if you needed a gel created for facial scars, such as the Cimeosil laser gel, or for mastectomy scars, for which it offers specially shaped sheets.
It is a low cost alternative to plastic surgery if you want to lessen the severity of scars.
There is a money back guarantee if you return the product within 30 days, subject to a 15% handling fee. The stipulation is that there must be at least half of the product left when you send it back.
The cons are that it is not widely available and must be ordered online, either from the Cimeosil website or a couple of others. This means paying shipping, plus a wait for delivery.
Another con is that there are almost no credible user reviews. So, if you want to try the Cimeosil products, you will be going into it basically blind and will simply have to pay your money and take your chances.
User Reviews
You won't find much in the way of legitimate user reviews for Cimeosil. There are a few that are pretty negative, but if you check out the domain registration of the websites where these appear, you will discover that these are sites owned by a competitor, so it would seem doubtful that they are impartial.
Your best bet is to look on various message boards where people are discussing the treatment of scars, and sift through those. According to a couple of mentions of this product on relevant internet discussion boards, the product does work—at least to some extent.
In summary, Cimeosil does have a nice selection of gels and sheets with something to address various specific problem areas, so it may well be worth a try if you have problem scars.
