Sweaty palms, shortness of breath, feeling like you're going crazy—have you experienced any of these sensations? Chances are, you were in the clutches of a panic attack. Millions of us experience them every day, and they have a negative impact on daily life.
Coping with panic attacks can be incredibly stressful in itself. This article will give you tools and strategies to help you cope with your panic attacks and reduce the likelihood of future panic attacks happening.
What is a Panic Attack?
A panic attack is a common reaction to perceived threats and dangers. In short, it is your body's fight-or-flight response. This is a natural and, in evolutionary terms, useful mechanism that prepares the body to react and defend itself from real, or perceived, environmental dangers.
During a panic attack, your body feels threatened and will act very quickly to maximize your chances of survival. A number of internal processes are enacted with the intention of getting you out of harm's way and back to a position of safety. Within a matter of seconds, your body will ramp up your heart rate to feed oxygen-rich blood to the parts most crucial to your defense. This can produce uncomfortable sensations, and here lies the difficulty with the modern panic attack.
Such biological reactions may be very appropriate to the threat of an attack from a wild animal, and in situations of actual danger, they may very well save your life. But, in the modern context, it is rare for us to require such a dramatic response. However, this is still exactly what happens in answer to all manner of daily worries—when that deadline is looming, if you just cannot face the grueling morning commute, or when that unexpected bill lands in your lap. Recognizing the potential causes and symptoms is crucial to managing your panic attacks.
Panic Attack Symptoms
The symptoms associated with panic attacks can be scary, especially if the trigger for the attack is unclear, and you are caught by surprise. During a panic attack, you may experience any number of the following symptoms:
- Increased heart rate or heart palpitations
- Shortness of breath or hyperventilation
- Lightheadedness
- Feeling faint
- Shaking
- Sweating
- Hot or cold flushes
- Numbness or tingling
- Feeling like you're about to die
- Feeling outside of your body
- Feeling detached from reality
With such a frightening list of afflictions, it is no wonder that some people go on to develop symptoms of panic disorder. Whereas a panic attack can be defined as a survival response to a perceived threat or danger, panic disorder can develop because of the fear of future panic attacks. Thankfully, there are many strategies you can use to make coping with panic attacks easier.
Coping with Panic Attacks – Short-term Strategies
Awareness is the first step, so, in learning about panic attacks, you are already well on the way to overcoming them. If you recognize what is happening and when, these short-term steps will bring immediate relief.
Breathe calmly and deeply—Become aware of your breathing, and work to bring each breath under control. This is a powerful technique that targets one of the parent causes of many other uncomfortable symptoms. Slow, deep breathing will bring down your heartrate and arrest the attack before it has a chance to develop.
Acknowledge and accept—It is important to understand that the majority of panic attacks are caused not by a real and present danger but, rather, by your thoughts and projections into the future. The idea of what might happen in a given situation can set in motion a chain reaction of anxious thoughts that take hold of your senses and trigger the onset of panic attack symptoms. By observing what is happening in reality, you can acknowledge the situation for what it really is and accept that you are having a fear response to something that is perhaps not anywhere near as dangerous as your thoughts would have you believe.
Coping with Panic Attacks – Long-term Strategies
The best time to prepare for a panic attack is when you are relaxed, calm and centered. With a little bit of reflection and preparation, you will break the cycle of highly distressing panic attacks for good.
Mindfulness—You can use mindfulness in both the long and short term. It works perfectly in conjunction with controlled breathing. Mindfulness is a wonderful technique for managing the stressful aspects of modern life and their impact on your mood. The key to achieving a state of mindfulness is to guide your attention to the present moment.
Focus your attention on what is happening in and around you. If you are practicing deep breathing, concentrate on the rise and fall of your chest, the sensation of air passing through your nostrils as you inhale and exhale. You can also count in your mind—1 as you inhale, 2 as you exhale, 3 as you inhale, and so on to the count of 10, then start again from 1. If you are in a position to do so, close your eyes, and direct all your attention to the sounds you can hear. Armed with mindfulness techniques and a little practice, you will find this a great way to cope with panic attacks as well as stressful situations in general.
Identify troublesome thoughts—Learn to spot the thoughts that trigger your panic attacks. Perhaps particular subjects fill you with fear, or the idea of certain situations makes you feel anxious. Write these thoughts down, and challenge them. "Why should I feel so scared about X or Y?" "Is the way I feel about a given situation in proportion to reality?" Keep a thought diary or journal, and take a moment each day to go through any thoughts that have made you feel anxious or panicky. As you learn to identify the thought patterns that trigger anxiety, you'll find that coping with panic attacks gets easier.
Speak to a therapist—Sometimes, we all need a helping hand. If you feel overwhelmed by your panic attacks, a therapist can help you get to the root of the issues and find strategies that work for you.
Whatever triggers your panic attacks, you can use the strategies in this article to help you cope with them. Understanding the symptoms and what is causing them allows you to take control of the situation and free yourself from panic attacks.
Have you experienced a panic attack? How do you cope with your symptoms? Do you have any tips to share with other readers? We'd love to hear your thoughts, so please drop us a line in the comments section!

By firing neutrons into a nucleus to change an atom, can you make gold using other cheaper metals?
Yes. However, trying to build gold with nuclear reactions is an expensive way to make the precious metal. Furthermore, you would probably end up with radioactive gold because at least some of the nuclei you made would have the wrong numbers of neutrons in them and would be unstable.

Tish.TV DIY // Duct Tape Dress Form
As I recently mentioned, my friend Kim and I made a video of how to make a dress form out of duct tape. We had made one two years ago, but after being asked to write the instructions for BUST magazine, I wanted to make one again. I wanted to make it better than last time so I could actually use it and make a better video for it.
So, we finally did it! It took us/me three different days over two weeks, but I finally finished it off. We had some disasters (insulation foam is the devil), but I've decided my slogan will have to be "Welcome to Tish.TV DIY where I make mistakes, so you don't have to!"
See for yourself how you can make a dress form your exact size with duct tape, newspaper and a very helpful friend!
And just yesterday I got a message from Copper Etiquitte, saying that they featured both Duct Tape Dress Form videos on their blog. That's pretty cool. Take a look.
Oh, for reference, here is our first video. Hopefully you find my new video much more helpful.

Heeding the Call
"The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof." — Barbara Kingsolver, author
As Unitarian Universalists, we are called not to admire justice from a distance but to live right in it, under its roof. This series of engaging, interactive workshops encourage youth to reflect on their own lives while also making connections to the lives lived by others. This both/and approach increases youth's self-awareness while also developing leadership skills. The stories offer real-life examples of people facing the complexities of living lives of justice. It is under this roof that the youth become Justice Makers. Our teachers Nia Schooler, Eben Buchanan, and Mary "Liebs" Liebman are committed to making this a dynamic, and deep year for our 6th-8th Graders.

A Thibodaux teenager will be flying to California to compete for a national title after being crowned Miss Louisiana 2017 at the state's National American Miss Pageant in Baton Rouge in early June.
Farhana Rais, 19, daughter of Thibodaux doctors Mohammad Rais and Dilruba Rais, said she competed in pageants when she was younger but didn't consider competing as an adult until she received a letter from the National American Miss Pageant system last year.
"This year I was like, 'Oh yeah, sure, I'll try it again. It's been a while. I'll take a whack at it,'" Farhana said.
Last year, she competed for Miss Louisiana Teen, which requires the girls to compete in the pageant event. But this year, she was able to compete in the oldest age category, where judges look at a resume, essay, picture and conduct a phone interview. She told the judges she wanted to win the crown so people would differentiate her from her twin brother.
"I had told her I have a twin brother, and my whole life it's always been 'Oh, the Rais twins are here' or 'There's the Rais twins,'" she said. "We kind of together just have one image, and most of the time we don't have our individualities, so I wanted this time for me to be in the spotlight."
The biology student said she had just gotten home from college when she received the call she had won, and she ran straight to her mom.
"I was like, 'Say hello to your new Miss Louisiana,'" Farhana said with a laugh.
Farhana, who graduated from E.D. White Catholic High in 2016 and is entering her sophomore year at Louisiana State University, will compete in the national pageant in Anaheim, California, in November. She also won a free trip to Disneyland through the competition.
She said throughout the year, she'll be attending fairs across the state, and she'll also have the opportunity to meet the governor.
"I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to do a lot more things in the community and meeting important people now that I have an important title," Farhana said.

I don't want summer to go. I am hanging on to it with every fiber of my being. (So are the mosquitoes, by the by.) On the other hand, I did by myself a pair of snappy rubber soled leather boots last week, and wore them three days in a row.
1) I could have told you a year ago that Peruvian cuisine was going to be the next big thing in the culinary world, the moment Mambo and I walked into the El Pollo Rico. This secret is too good not to be shared. (This was part of the WSJ's great The Off Duty 50. Also featured: Shrubs--the vinegar infused drink!--herb and flower arranging, fun bookends, and fall's best hats.)
2) Magic Sauce. Magic Sauce. Magic Sauce. Magic Sauce. Magic Sauce. Magic Sauce. Magic Sauce. This is my newest favorite phrase. And newest favorite recipe. It will usher me into fall. Not that fall is ever coming.
3) It's New York Fashion Week. And I love love love all the prints in these dresses by Milk Studios, photographed by Jaime Beck (above). Also: Fashion Week 1947.
4) Miss Manners applauds a courteous fifteen year old, and the practical and gracious response to the perceived debate between etiquette and equality.
5) The true meaning of "Icon" (by Roger Scruton).
6) Mrs. VdV sent this to me this afternoon, and I am in stitches.

Portable Internet Radios
If you're looking for a new way to enjoy your favorite music and other radio programming, a portable Internet radio, also referred to as a Wi-Fi radio, is a great option to consider. While you can certainly listen to streaming radio stations and apps like SiriusXM (if you have a subscription) and Pandora using your computer, tablet or cell phone, a portable Internet radio is a separate tabletop device designed just for this purpose. You'll be able to choose among thousands of radio stations from locations around the world, with selections available in any format you might want to listen to.
Three Top Internet Radio Brands
1. Grace Digital
Grace Digital is among the best brands to consider when looking for an Internet radio. The company offers several models of Internet radios, ranging in price from $130 to $230. I had an opportunity to test one of their current portable Internet radio models - the Mondo Wi-Fi Music Player - and was extremely impressed with the unit. Costing around $180, Mondo is at the pricing mid-range for this brand, with the main differences among various models being related to size, shape and general design features.
Product Information
The Mondo from Grace Digital is super-easy to set up and use and has amazing, crystal-clear sound quality. It's simple to navigate through the thousands (more than 50,000) radio stations by broadcast location and genre, and to set up pre-set buttons (up to ten) for your favorites. My experience with this device is completely positive. The only feature I wish it had that it does not is a touch screen, but that does not detract at all from how much I enjoy using it.
- I am a fan of Pandora and find that it sounds better through the Mondo than when I play it using my phone, tablet or computer, even using an external speaker.
- You can stream music from your computer or phone to the device.
- A review on the Gadgeteer states, "Grace Digital Mondo radio does so much that I can't imagine not having it in my house. It is that useful."
- A positive review on Audioholics.com points out that the Mondo model has a "faster processor" than previous models from Grace and has "a new color LCD screen to navigate and select your music."
- The Audioholics review did not have anything nice to say about the device's remote, but I did not have any trouble using it. There really isn't much of a need to use a remote with this type of device anyway.
- An Amazon reviewer who describes himself as a "radio nut" describes this device as the "best all-around radio I've ever owned."
Mondo is not the only one of Grace Digital's portable Internet radios to get high marks from reviewers. Two of Grace Digital's previous models made Good Housekeeping's list of the best portable Internet radios.
2. Sangean
If you love the idea of a portable Internet radio but are looking for a lower price point, the Sangean WFR-28 Internet Radio a good option. Priced at just under $150 on Walmart.com, it is one of the most affordable options available. It is also smaller than the other two models.
Product Information
The Sangean WFR-28 streams fewer radio stations than the more expensive options, but budget-minded listeners can likely still find something to enjoy from among the more than 17,000 available stations (via Frontier Silicon radio portal service). However, it is important to note that iHeart radio and Pandora are not available on this device.
- Like the other options, this device also functions as an alarm clock.
- This unit can use dry-cell or rechargeable batteries.
- A remote control app is available for iPhone and Android.
- A Monitoring Times review describes this device as a "winner" that provides "big sound in a small package."
- Reviewers on Amazon give it high marks, praising its "excellent" sound quality. This is echoed in a review on the Carlyle Tech blog.
While Wi-Fi radios perform a function that other devices that people who would want to listen to web-based radio already own, there are definitely advantages to using this type of product. While I had never used a portable Internet radio before receiving one to review for this article, I have become a fan. A few reasons include:
- I like the convenience of being able to enjoy web-based music while keeping my other devices - which I frequently use for work - free to use for other purposes. It's also great to be able to access live streams from thousands of radio stations all over the world through the device.
- My husband grew up watching New Orleans Saints football on TV, with the sound off and the radio tuned in to WWL-AM 870. With this device, he can easily do that again - and enjoy higher sound quality and less of a delay than if we tried to use the station's website to stream the broadcast.
A Versatile Option
Only you can decide if this type of device is something that you would benefit from owning. Make your decision based on your web-based radio content listening habits and your preferences for using the devices you already own that have the ability to stream music. If you'd rather keep your radio listening separate from your other devices, a portable Internet radio is a great option for you to consider.

This policy applies to all faculty, academic staff, other teaching staff, and staff employees.
Students and postdoctoral scholars with questions about lactation accommodations may contact the Title IX Office at email@example.com or 650-497-4955.
Stanford University supports the importance of health and bonding for parents nursing their infants. It is the policy of the university to follow all state and federal laws and regulations in this area, including California Labor Code (Sections 1030-1033) and Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). In promoting a family-friendly work environment and to ensure equality of access for employees who wish to breastfeed, the university will provide reasonable accommodations to enable employees to express breastmilk.
Lactation spaces are available to all members of the university community, including students, postdoctoral scholars, and third parties who participate in Stanford programs and activities. The WorkLife Office maintains a list of campus spaces that may be used for lactation.
All Stanford University affiliated nursing parents, including students and postdoctoral scholars, are encouraged to register for the Stanford Lactation Support Program. Additional resources for lactation support information and educational resources are available on Cardinal at Work at: worklife.stanford.edu.
a. Employees: are responsible for notifying a supervisor as soon as a lactation accommodation is needed. It is recommended that an employee anticipating an accommodation discuss their needs with their supervisor before a family leave is taken, including the anticipated schedule and request to access an appropriate space. Requests from staff employees should be made to the supervisor or Human Resources Manager. Faculty, academic staff and other teaching staff should contact their Chair and departmental faculty affairs officer.
b. Supervisors: are responsible for receiving requests for a lactation accommodation, and in consultation with the Human Resources Manager, reviewing accommodation requirements, identifying appropriate space and schedule for the employee, and discussing the accommodation with the employee. In the case of faculty, academic staff and other teaching staff, the term 'supervisor' in this policy refers to the Department Chair.
c. Human Resources Managers: are responsible for advising supervisors of accommodation requirements and assisting supervisors in consultation with the building or facilities managers to identify appropriate space to accommodate the employee. To identify the local Human Resources office, call the appropriate number: Campus 650-721-4272; School of Medicine 650-497-2750; SLAC 650-926-2358.
d. Department Chairs and Departmental Faculty Affairs Officers: are responsible for receiving faculty, academic staff and other teaching staff requests for a lactation accommodation and, in consultation with the Human Resources Manager or departmental faculty affairs officer, reviewing accommodation requests and requirements, identifying appropriate space for the employee and discussing the accommodation with the employee.
a. Step One – Request: Employees are responsible for initiating the request for a lactation accommodation. The request does not need to be made in writing, nor is a doctor's note required. The employee should consider discussing a request with their supervisor or Human Resources Manager before taking a family leave.
b. Step Two – Discussion: When received, the supervisor or Human Resources Manager will meet with the employee to acknowledge the request and help develop an accommodation. The supervisor or Human Resources Manager should confirm that the employee has a private, clean and secure place to express breastmilk (see Section 6: Identifying Space). If the employee has questions or concerns about expressing breastmilk at work, questions should be referred to the Human Resources Manager or the WorkLife Office.
c. Step Three – Follow up: The supervisor or Human Resources Manager should confirm the accommodation in writing and offer to revisit the plan with the employee after two to three weeks to see if any changes are needed.
An accommodation includes a reasonable amount of time taken as needed by the employee to express breastmilk in a space that complies with state and federal requirements (see Section 6: Identifying Space). When possible, time should be taken during regularly scheduled meal and rest periods. The number of breaks needed to express breastmilk may vary. A nursing parent will typically need two or three breaks during an eight-hour period; however, additional break times may be necessary. If the time to express breastmilk exceeds an employee's regularly-scheduled meal or rest periods, non-exempt employees may request to be provided an opportunity to make up time per Admin Guide Memo 2.1.5. If no reasonable opportunity exists for a non-exempt employee to make up time, the time to express breastmilk that exceeds paid rest periods will not be paid. The break schedule should be based on the employee's needs and the operational needs of the department.
Appropriate space that complies with state and federal requirements includes any clean space that can be made private, shielded from view and free from intrusions from coworkers or the public, and is not located in a bathroom. Appropriate space can include a private office, a conference room with a locking door, or any other compliant space that can be secured and shielded from view.
Every effort should be made to identify space in the employee's building when possible. It may be necessary to identify more than one space in order to meet the needs of both the employee and department. Space may be identified at an adjacent building within a reasonable walking distance and that is accessible to the employee during the arranged lactation schedule. A reasonable distance is recommended as no more than a 5-minute walk from the employee's building.
If space cannot be identified in the employee's building or an adjacent building, the WorkLife Office maintains a list of campus spaces that may be used for lactation.

The story of Man-Made CO2 emission based global warming is ridiculous. It is nothing more than a convenient dialectic to grow the powers of International Law and Global Taxation. I will explain the bullsh*t behind it at the end of this article.
Source: BBC
The government has made "very poor progress" on reaching its own carbon emissions-cutting targets, MPs say.
Ministers want departments and agencies to reduce emissions by 12.5% by 2010/11 compared with 1999/2000 levels – and to be carbon-neutral by 2012.
But the influential environment audit committee said a cut of just 4% had been achieved by 2006/07.
Chairman Tim Yeo said this damaged the government's "moral authority" on environmental issues.
The committee said it was "extremely disappointed" that only 0.0004% of all electricity consumed by the government was generated on Crown property using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar or biomass power plants.
Ministers were relying "too heavily" on buying offsets to help achieve carbon neutrality, the report – Making Government Operations More Sustainable – said.
Buying carbon offsets means giving extortionate amounts of your money to private corporations, for contributing to a trace gas. That's it. Just so you know.
There was a "degree of confusion" about how the targets would be met and these "essential issues" should be worked out urgently, the committee added.
Mr Yeo, a Conservative former minister, said: "Until the government shows that it is living up to its commitments it will find it hard to maintain the moral authority to influence the rest of us."
Moral authority comes down from the government now does it, to 'influence us?' I thought it was supposed to come from the People. Symptoms of totalitarianism government in Britain maybe?
But a government spokesman said it was "fully committed to protecting the environment" and limiting the effects of climate change by reducing carbon emissions and waste across its own estate and operations.
"Government is already excelling in some areas, notably the procurement of renewable energy," he said.
Right, enough of this liberal propaganda. The climate of Earth has been 'changing' for billions of years. There is nothing, absolutely NOTHING we can do about it. The global-carbon-tax cover story was initially global warming, but I guess they quietly changed that when evidence came out proving that crap wrong.
Carbon Dioxide is not a poison or a 'pollutant'. It is a trace gas. Less that 40 parts per 100,000. It has existed on Earth for billions of years. It is responsible (along with water) for photosynthesis. The end product being oxygen and carbohydrates. Not that they teach photosynthesis to your children any more, probably too busy making them feel guilty for breathing and convincing them not to have children of their own (but still worship the State, do what you are told and pay your taxes.)
So, CO2 is plant food. Keeping this in mind, one would expect the biosphere to be expanding, with all that extra food for plants.
Surprise: Earths' Biosphere is Booming, Satellite Data Suggests CO2 the Cause
Another point about Man-Made CO2. If it is supposed to be the primary factor in global warming why have global temperatures been declining since 1998, and don't go running to the IPCC for 'evidence' as their computer model is wrong. Also, forget about the '3,000 strong IPCC Consensus' on Man-Made Global Warming. Science is not about consensus, it is about fact. If you do want consensus however, how about the 30,000 scientists who reject the politically motivated IPCC Report.
The colder spell does seem to be closely related to the drop in solar output however. Not that a star one million times bigger than the Earth and which puts out enough energy in one second to power the entire human race for 820,000 years would have any effect on the climate.
That would be silly. It would also mean the our rulers could not control and tax us as they wish.
Charging the human race (and stripping our rights in favour of Global Government by unelected, unaccountable elitists) for creating plant food and contributing to the Carbon-cycle however, makes perfect sense.
Yeah, right.

[…] This scam is been the cover story for a whole host of regulations and power grabs from our States; higher taxes, using farmland to grow inefficient biofuels, thus pushing up food prices (which was the idea), create whole new taxes, raise the cost of energy etc. All related to the CO2 part of the scam. When you don't have talking heads calling for a tax on babies or on breathing, you have a global elite pushing for a massive rise in the cost of living, to pauperize the people. They say it's for the environment, I call bullshit. It's a power grab. Like I said, C02 isn't a pollutant any more than water vapour is. […]

KENNY Cunningham has given Blues a massive boost by declaring himself fit for Saturday's opener at Fulham.
The Republic of Ireland defender (pictured) has been working overtime to beat the pain caused by his collapsed lung and will lead out his side at Craven Cottage.
Cunningham, 34, returned to training earlier this week and came in yesterday during the players' day off to continue his rehabilitation.
And he joined in this morning with the rest of Steve Bruce's squad as the Blues chief finalised his plans for the trip to London.
The news will come as a massive relief to Bruce in a week when injury concerns have piled up.
The club has been reeling from Mehdi Nafti's cruciate knee problems and although Muzzy Izzet and Mikael Forssell are returning slowly to action, no-one - not least Bruce - is pretending they are yet fully up to speed.
It was touch and go too whether Cunningham would recover from the problems suffered at QPR in a friendly 12 days ago.
However, after originally describing the veteran as "doubtful", the Blues boss was happy to confirm the good news and said: "Kenny will be fit for Fulham.
"He joined in training earlier this week. He even came in when the rest of them had the day off just to make sure everything was okay.
"We've had to treat it cautiously as it is a painful injury. He's done gym work in the earlier part of the week and he has improved with each day.
"He's suffered no reaction and from now on will be training as part of the squad with the rest of them.
"He plays an important part in our dressing-room and we will certainly be strengthened by his return to it."
There was still no news on any further in-comings but the manager would only add cryptically: "I've still got irons in the fire - but really I wish I didn't have at this stage."
He wants to strengthen his midfield in the wake of Nafti's injury and given that he has so many concerns about a number of other players - but reports of an improved bid for Panathinaikos midfielder Angelos Bassinas are well wide of the mark.

what will be the first thing u do after u jailbreak your iphone 4?
- w - r - o - n - g , wrong!
If you want to put down your dictionary for a minute and read the fine print (and we all know it's about the fine print now don't we) you would have noticed that if apple finds you with a jailbroken iPhone it does nothing other than void your warranty. And that is it. Jailbreaking, from a contractual sense, is kinda like pulling that warranty sticker off that video game console, nothing more, nothing less.
Dictionaries are awesome, but words by them self are almost meaningless.
It is what's written that matters.
Super Simples!07-26-2010 04:47 PM
If you are so concerned with your bottom line (I respect that), perhaps you should also release your works on the JB'd repos for sale. Open your customer base up. With or without the Almighty Brick you are whshing upon the JB community, the community will continue to grow. Since you are so sensitive to the piracy issue (again I respect that), I'm gonna go ahead and guess that your app(s) are most likely over priced and possibly under written to the point that normal users don't want to pay for it/ them.
I and most other members of the community actually support you and your fellow devs. In my case, 100% of the commercial apps on my unit are paid for. Sure there a few bad apples that use the Naughty "I" word to do naughty things, but comparatively, they are few and far between. You'd do well to respect those of us who support the Devs regardless of our JB status, lest we stop buying your code.
</rant>07-26-2010 09:45 PM
- You know what annoys me, uniformed simpletons who generalize something they don't understand as "wrong" and attack it due to fear.
Useless. Really?! Useless! I wont even justify an argument here cause even the staunchest of "apple rights management supporters" would just laugh at that!
"It allows for the piracy of apps" Yes, that is true (and someone who just pirates apps and only pirates apps is meanie nerf herder!) ......... but booze allows for DUI's, the internet allows for pedophiles to prey on children, and internet forums allow imbeciles to spout ignorance (and drunkards to rebuttal !). Boooo, hiiiisssssss, shut off automobiles and the internets!
I could go on, but all you gave me was "it's dumb and only thieves use it" so that is all i have to work/talk/deal with at the moment.
Man, if you don't like jailbreaking, that is a "you problem". This is an iphone/ipad/itouch forum and all that encompass it is discussed (even tipb employs Allyson, a jailbreak writer, do you then have issues with tipb) and/or try and leave your (biased) politics at the log in screen.07-26-2010 10:25 PM
- Don't forget about the people at Apple "WE" employ..... you know the ones who try to stop jailbreaking and unlocking of the iphone, without us they wouldn't have a nice fruity job..Where was I *****ing bout how the iphone is locked down? Nowhere. See, I don't have to because of jailbreaking. You are the one with the jailbreaking issue, and hence the one who is yapping.
"Apple never intended", really, that is your newest defense? Apple never intended for antenna issues, white cases cracking and drunk stooges to cause early reveals! Who care about "intended" anyway. *insert deity of choice here* didn't intended for chocolate covered bacon but that shizz is the awesome.
"It is Apples device..." Really, I didn't see Sir Jobs or the Woz (who has a jailbroken iPhone by the way) pay the 3 bills plus for that portable computer system that happens to make phones calls I now possess. I bought that sexy beast with my soft earned cash and if I wanna use it stock, jailbreak it, use it as a hockey puck, eat it, or make sweet, sweet, digital love to it then I sure as hell will cause guess what, it's not illegal do any of those things (well, maybe the sweet digital love part, but only in Wyoming and North Dakota) Ya, the piracy thing is illegal and karmicly wrong, and I do not condone that at all, but you do understand that here is more to jailbreaking than piracy right? You do understand that jailbreaking, even if you don't do it or like it, drives apple to make changes and push along ideas/apps/features on their end that otherwise would have never come to fruition? You know these things right? Dude (or Missy) you are not arguing/disagreeing/disregarding something without knowing anything about it are you? Please tell me you are not "that guy/girl"?
So this doesn't start to completely hijack the thread:
I miss SBSettings soo much.

9. SBS Settings
10. 5-Row Qwerty Keyboard
All bought and paid for, thank you. I forget how much I use these apps (as well as others) without even realizing it until I use my wifes un-jailbroken phone. It's almost unusable.07-27-2010 10:32 AM
- I just want to be able to jailbreak my iPhone 4. My 3G was so unstable (and part of it could simply have been Cydia), that every time I tried to Queue up installs/uninstalls, it would crash to the Springboard after the second or third, plus the 3G just didn't have enough resources available to really run more than a handful of JB apps at the same time.
Having already used my iPad jailbroken, I am very interested in doing so with my iPhone 4. My iPad is now unjailbroken mainly because I want good, working WiFi over a better Springboard (even my Airport Extreme network was screwing up because of my iPad, but after the patch I havent had any issues).07-28-2010 06:20 PM
- I can't wait to get MyWi up and running again. Other than that I am happy, I have found that I am okay without most other JB apps.07-28-2010 09:58 PM

Why You aren't Getting Referrals
Getting Referrals
You're selling a great product or service and you are doing OK, and that is your problem. You want and need to be delivering better than OK sales results, but every sale is like a marathon and it's tiring you out. Every now and then you get a referral which you close quicker and easier than all your other leads, but you never receive enough referrals to really make an impact. Why not? Well there is one sales tool that every sales person has that is key to developing more referrals than you can cope with, yet most sales people don't even know it exists, let alone develop and utilize it. This sales tool can make or break you and all great sales people know this and use it to maximize their results.
Most sales professionals would never consider themselves as a brand – but they are. Personal branding is hugely important for any sales professional, and ultimately their personal branding can make or break them. Personal Branding is no longer a choice, as we all have one whether we want one or not. The only choice we have is whether we choose to take ownership of our brand and develop it or not. Understanding what our own Personal Brand currently is can often be an uncomfortable process and sometimes denial, and a lack of humility prevents the average Sales person from moving forward. Quite simply Personal Branding is…
what other people say about us behind our back. Our personal brand is what we are famous for – the good and the bad, which is what makes it so powerful. In the most negative sense our personal brand will have our prospects, our customers and our business network telling people not to contact us. They may say we are unreliable, untrustworthy, dull, tardy, talkative or lack substance and should be avoided.
Sales people who represent a strong business brand will find their prospects and clients are a little more forgiving in our bid to buy the brand. Walk into any Apple store and you won't see much selling going on, more order taking as the branding has already sold the products. A sales person representing a lesser brand will in turn have to work much harder to make his quota.
In a positive sense people will endorse, recommend and pay testimony to those with the strongest Personal brand. Our personal brand will drive referrals and new business to sales professionals with the best personal brand, often without even asking. Every sales professional's personal brand can be measured directly by the number of referrals they receive.
Most sales people have an average Brand which produces average results. With that in mind there is one easy way to tell if your personal brand needs a refresh – do you consistently receive unsolicited recommendations and referrals? If not why not?

With just a few folds and twists, the Japanese manual resist-dyeing technique known as Shibori can team up with indigo natural dye to create some beautiful surprises.
From this:
A collection on un-dyed muslin, silk, and wool/mohair yarn.
To this:
On silk. I love this result—a sort of reptilian look.
This feathery one has to be my favorite.
Said the woman who named her textile-arts business after a bird.
This shibori techniques don't yield as crisp a result on yarn as it does on fabric, but I can't deny that the result is just as breathtaking.
I enjoy dreaming about how these yarns will look knitted up—a fellow weaver has already taken one skein off my hands, and I can't wait to see how this yarn behaves in her work. (I have more indigo shibori yarn skeins in my shop.)
The shibori process just begs for a weekend mini-retreat. So, I've decided to host one. Check your calendars for Saturday morning, Aug. 13, and save some space a drive to Prairie House for a morning of shibori, a spicy taco lunch, and some locally made sweets. If you think a cold beer would pair well with all this, well, you're probably right. So BYOB. And don't forget to register for the class—I want to keep this workshop small and sweet, so spots are very limited. Register for the Tulsa-area Shibori Tie Dye Workshop in my Etsy shop.

SOLD--Two 19th Century Cast Iron Coal Irons
SOLD--Two 19th Century Cast Iron Coal Irons
Two 19th century sculptural and decorative cast iron coal irons, one decorated with a lion's head, the other with a rooster's head, of typicalform with flip-top to store coal inside and wooden handles, one curved, the other turned and painted red. The coal iron is a precursor to the modern electric steam iron. It was an iron roughly shaped like its modern counterpart, but with a hollow interior that could hold smoldering charcoal, which would keep the iron hot. We envision these on a fireplace mantel or as fabulous laundry room decoration, or anywhere a bold, unusual sculptural object is desired. May be purchased individually or together.

Housebreaking Your Bun
Disclaimer: It is very difficult to litter train a rabbit that is not spayed or neutered. Their hormones are raging, and they want to mark or spray everything in sight. Once your rabbit is fixed, the next step is litter training her!
what you need
Litter: It is important that you do NOT use clay-based cat litter or any kind of wood shavings for your rabbit's bedding. The dust from cat litter will cause damage to your rabbit's lungs, and wood shavings are not good for your rabbit if he eats them. Unscented paper-based litters are ideal, like Yesterday's News (see link to the right).
Litter Boxes: Rabbits like to eat and poop at the same time. So the litter box is the perfect place to keep your rabbit's hay-prop some hay up in the corner for him to munch on while he does his business. Line a large litter box (with a low entrance) with old newspaper and then pour about 1-2 inches of recycled paper litter on top of that. Add a large handful or two of hay to the corners of the litter box, and your bunny's bathroom is all set!
Another litter box option is to get a screen to fit your litter box which helps keep the space around the box tidy since your bunny will go in and out of the box several times throughout the day. We recommend this screen by Binky Bunny.
The litter box should be placed wherever in his pen or in the house where he likes to leave droppings; there is typically a preferred corner where they like to go.
Cleaning: First, keep the box fresh by adding a small scoop of fresh litter to the 'concentrated' areas. Dump the entire litter box at least once a week. Use a vinegar and water mixture to wipe out the box before relining and filling it.
How To Litter Train Your Rabbit
Start litter training by keeping your rabbit in a smaller space with the litter box; this may only take a couple days, or it could take 1-2 weeks. If he pees or leaves turds outside of the box, simply wipe up the pee with a paper towel or unscented kleenex and drop it in the litterbox along with any errant turds. Repeat as necessary and then widen the space gradually until your rabbit is using his box every time he goes #1 or #2. Rabbits are creatures of habit, so be consistent with your training - you will be so glad you stuck with it in the long run!
Litter training can take anywhere from 1 week to several weeks, depending on the rabbit. Some get it right away, some take a little longer. Patience is key and will pay off!

20 years ago, at the ripe age of 23, I hit rock bottom and checked myself
into a holistic, residential treatment center for eating disorders.
While many of my peers were enjoying their 20s, playing, traveling the world, getting married and having babies -- I was slowly killing myself and needed to do something drastic.
Through this conscious choice I was introduced to a path of living and healing that involved the whole of me. I was given the opportunity to dive into every aspect of who I am through various modalities that I have carried with me over the decades both personally and professionally. Although I had entered this center compulsively distraught about my dysfunctional ways of using food and exercise, a pattern that had begun as a 7 year old little girl when I was first made aware of my weight and changing body, what quickly unfolded was the high level of addiction that I had in my system to many things. Human life had become too scary, painful, and uncomfortable to actually feel and my addictions were running rampant.
Food was the symptom...
the informant, the messenger...
and it was time for me to listen.
I had no idea on that fateful day in my young adult life the incredible journey that this time would set into motion. I had no awareness or perspective of the trajectory my life would take from that incredibly courageous and bold step that I took on that day.
The level of awareness that I have of my body, of myself, of my emotions, and of my ways of coping is strong and in a constant state of evolution due to these 2 decades of work.
And, it has been work – devoted and consistent work.
For me, I have chosen to not skirt around my dysfunction, my coping mechanisms, my habitual patterns of relating.
I have made the choice every single day to dig in and heal, dig in and heal, dig in and heal.
This is just who I am and all of the hard work has been absolutely worth it.
The moments of angst, of flailing, of awakening, of clarity….the entire cycle on repeat to one degree or another….
It is a process.
Recovery takes consistent and compassionate work on the Self.
Healing happens in layers.
Each layer surfacing exactly in the right time that it is ready to be worked and healed.
20 years into this process, I am highly aware as to the extent of the issue which has arisen for healing by how close I get to those old patterns around food. I can see clearly when I am being pulled to the chocolate chip cookies as to how deep this particular issue is -- how scary it feels for me to actually feel it. And, I have cultivated the skills and capacity over the years to be with myself around these pulls that at times feel unstoppable. I can also tune into what it is that has brought me into this space of longing…what am I really craving….and, with that depth of awareness, I have choice. At this juncture in my recovery, I am well aware that I have the choice to do or not do. And, sometimes I still choose to do. I eat the cookie because it is feeding my soul or healing my heart to some degree. I make myself the ultimate comfort food that my spirit is craving and I enjoy every bite of it and even though it may not be the best food for my waistline, it is in that moment, the most nourishing food for my soul.
This is my recovery process.
This is how I have chosen to relate to myself, my heart, my soul, my spirit, and my consumption.
I have embraced my imperfectly perfect humanness and understand that life unfolds as it does.
I have been gifted with this incredible awareness due to my struggles with myself, with my body, and with living in a state of vulnerability.
My eating disorder will always be a part of me – it is my gauge as to if I am acting, speaking, and living in alignment or not. It speaks to me loudly when I am neglecting my own needs and cries out when I am not honoring my body.
When we live our lives in a state of fear, shame, of cowering to the world around us, we shrink and diminish ourselves. The recovery process provides the platform for us to authentically take steps out into the world on behalf of who we really are and speaking our truth with clarity. Naturally, there will be backlash from our egos and from others. The importance of continuing to do so, no matter what, is so critical to our growth as evolving humans.
It takes an incredible amount of courage and conviction to stay the course…no matter what.
This process has a way of bringing you to your knees while also pulling you up and out.
It is a humbling process, disorienting, and humanizing.
At this juncture in my life, I feel that my eating disorder and other addictive patterns are a gift. They have brought me to a place of wholeness, of deep inquiry, and of true self-love. They have expanded my capacity for living in an embodied and authentic way, my capabilities in relating to others as humans in this dance of life in a connected and empathic way, they have invited me consistently to unwind and repair within my own system as well as with others. I have uncovered a trustworthy inner compass through my recovery process and know when I am off and have the opportunity to adjust as needed.
I have been given perspective and an opportunity every single day to make choices that enhance my state of being.
Some days are easier than others, still, after 20 years.
Yet, I am consistently reminded when I do make the choice to breathe into myself, embrace my life, take care of my own needs, and open my heart even when it feels scary, that my connection to the whole is enhanced and life truly becomes richer and so much sweeter.
Are you suffering from compulsive food addictions and obsessive exercise patterns?
Do you struggle with body image issues?
Are you longing to feel peace, ease and acceptance in your body and in yourself?
I get it and I can help.
I offer a holistic and sustainable approach to working with disordered eating patterns and body image challenges.
I work with clients in person as well as via Skype.

Swirly Heart Hat
"I created the Swirly Heart Hat pattern after so many people requested me making it and they saw the tutorial I created for the waistcoat stitch on both, my Facebook page and my Youtube channel. This pattern is slightly different but similar than the stitch tutorial. The pattern is designed for a adult/teen head, but can be adjusted to make it bigger and smaller as the pattern includes a specific stitch repeat that can be made more or less of to change the size of the beanie."
I'm totally loving this hat! It's a sweet little beanie that's great for wearing all winter long. The swirl is reminiscent of a peppermint candy which makes it fit for Christmastime, but yet the hearts are just as appropriate for Valentine's Day. Check out this free pattern by clicking on the link below.

As most of us know, this summer, I spent a great deal of time, adventuring, for lack of a better word, and driving all over this lovely state of mine. Several thousand miles of adventuring in the span of 9 weeks. My body hurts. But it has paid off and I'm looking forward to beginning a new chapter in my life. I'm making plans. Whoo hooo! I will be Spawn-less for almost 5 months.
I won't know what to do with myself. Actually, empty nest sucks. He and I have been house hunting together online and yesterday, I looked at several of the homes we had targeted. Needless to say, I'm rather unimpressed with the selection. I recall this happened when I moved 10 years ago, just a bit south of here and after 3 days of going from dump to dump, we lucked into our home. I'm hoping with the fact I have a few months to look (I'm targeting October for move) we'll find something we like. I really miss him a lot. I am looking forward to when he joins me in December. I painted my room Friday and took many pain relievers Friday night and Saturday. I tried to write while on said pain relievers, but upon looking at my endeavors this morning, I have pretty much reverted it all to notes. Some of it was deleted – it appears to be in Klingon.
Either way, there were aspects of my adventuring that while I can laugh now, I didn't then. In fact, I'm not laughing now. I sit back and wonder HOW on earth these people got to where they are, behaving like this? And in 2 cases, I wonder if I should file complaints. Really.
Adventure 1 – Friday morning adventure, almost to the Alabama border. I had to drive THROUGH Atlanta Friday morning rush hour traffic. Friday morning rush hour traffic in Atlanta starts at 5:30 AM Friday morning and ends Saturday afternoon. I kid you not. So getting up early (which I don't like at all) and braving traffic for an 11 AM conference on the border, was just ducky! Had to maneuver around 3 car accidents, 1 of them not so pretty and had one of the fastest and worst blood glucose meltdowns ever. I almost didn't get into my purse fast enough for my carb tabs. In short, the conference started on time, (meaning I left the waiting area at 11) the host starts off by asking me 2 questions that have NOTHING to do with the job or my doing the job or how I've done the job, the co-host asks me a very irrelevant question, the host then excuses herself for something 'important that doesn't involve me and I'll be right back,' and leaves with the co host, leaving me to ask the person who some lucky sot would be replacing as she was leaving (baby) about her program. I get all of my info from her. The co host comes back, asks if I have any questions and then dismisses me before I have a chance to say no. I see the host getting in her car to leave – no she's not upset or in a hurry – and I'm in my car 18 minutes after I arrived. (Remember, I arrived before the time of the conference) Color me insulted and not happy. I've considered several times sending a formal complaint to the Board.
Adventure 2) First, I got lost and had to call Spawn to guide me in the back way with his GPS, the addy I was given was to the main office and not to the actual site and when I mentioned it to the host, she laughed and said – oh yeah, the website's wrong. (Didn't think to tell me? After telling me to get what I needed from the website, INCLUDING the crapped out directions and WRONG physical address?) As I'm leaving, I'm informed it's a half and half position – half what I do and half what I don't do and their last teacher was what I don't do and they really liked that. (They did not advertise this) When she emailed 'the losers' to tell use we didn't get the job, (one of TWO that actually contacted me to tell me I didn't get the job) she open CC'd everyone rather than BC'd and then she gave us all the personal information of the lucky sot she DID hire, their history and background. They hired a local who MIGHT be certified doing what I don't do. Joy. We needed to know this?
Adventure 3) Conferenced in my old stomping grounds – the one that eradicated their entire program, save for those that provide the halftime show. VERY expensive trip. VERY. County is 6 hours away. conference is early so I'm spending the night. 2 hours out of home, I'm called to reschedule the conferenceto 2 days out. In the end, they decided to go with the person who held that position originally, as they planned to all along. Had I known, I wouldn't have applied for it. Since they obviously planned to take him back (and he's awesome, don't get me wrong) they should have just conferenced with local people – like anyone. Note to self: This is the THIRD time they've pulled this stunt with me. I don't think I want to EVER go back, no matter how much they beg.
I had one 'host' go on and on about paper testing and how I prepared them for entrance and exit testing and how do I review with them and how long does it take, and how long does it take me to roll and if there was a performance 3 weeks into the year, how would I prepare them and make sure I was meeting standards. And how do I catch them up if they missed last week? Uhm… I will see them 30 times in the ENTIRE year at 45 minutes a whack, and you want me to take 2 of those 30 times and administer a paper test??? for this age group??? REALLY? I don't take roll! That's their homeroom teacher's job. If you want a performance 3 weeks into the year, you'll take what you get. You're NOT going to get 4 part harmony and the Hallelujah Chorus, that's for sure. If they missed, they'll figure it out… *headdesk*
This one takes the cake. Really. Had I been offered this one, I would have turned it down. I sit down, host and 2 co-hosts. Host and 1 co-host VERY nice, the second co-host appears to be offended that I'm there and breathing. Don't know why. NONE of her questions are politely worded, much less professional and she is extremely antagonistic. I see playing Good Cop, Bad Cop, but she was down-right rude. I did good, not getting flustered. Some of her more succulent questions:
Do you even know how many schools you've taught in? (Yes. 4.)
If you're so wonderful, why hasn't the system you've subbed in for 4 years hired you? (They've had a hiring freeze.)
Really? There hasn't been a single opening in your area of expertise? At all? (Again, there has been a hiring freeze. The 2 HS SHARE a choral director. The elementary schools share music teachers as well as art teachers. They have closed one of the middle schools and one of the elementary schools, severely over-crowding one of the MS to the point, the 8th grade is housed at the HS in an empty wing. Those teachers were dispersed among the schools. When a teacher leaves, they are not replaced. I have seen HS classroom sizes go from 18 to 35. There are several teachers on carts co-teaching in different subjects in classrooms that have as many as 50 students. There has been a hiring freeze that is still in place.)
I just can't believe you've been 4 years looking with no success. (Schools have been cutting departments, cutting the budget. My former board laid waste to the entire program, county wide, 17 teachers in one swoop. People are staying put in jobs regardless if they like it or not, because there have been no jobs out there for my field. Several I've interviewed for have told me they had 2 to 300 applicants for the position. There are literally 100's of us jockeying for 1 position. For the most part, the only openings have been for band. There have been more openings for MY area of expertise in the last 2 months, than have been combined in over the last 3 years.)
(My favorite. Really.) Do you even remember the question? (Yes. The question was how do I differentiate classes with different learning styles and abilities and how do I make sure everyone gets it?) You didn't need to elaborate. (To the best of my knowledge, it's not a yes or no question.)
After that, every question she asked, she told me – just answer yes or no. You don't need to elaborate. And it was NEVER a yes or no question.
I got in the car and began praying – Please no. Just please no. I had one of these kinds of bosses before. I almost developed an ulcer. My rosacia stayed berserk. I will have a heart attack, not dealing with the kids, but dealing with this woman! For the record, the host walked me outside to the parking lot, thanking me profusely for coming and sharing and praising my professionalism. The other co-host called me that night and thanked me as well, going on and on about my passion and love for what I do.
No one apologized for the witch. I would send a letter of complaint, but I don't remember the woman's name and I don't care to remember her name. I pity the person they hired, unless it was someone she decided she liked, better than me. Like maybe her kid, or niece. At least I hope so.
I'm so glad this is over. I really am. Really.
