Slip on your most comfortable shoes and walk now through Charlotte and through time. You'll travel many miles, meet some delightful people and behold striking places.
Two cousins born in Surinam, South America, came here after their cotton plantation went belly up. They arrived just in time to serve in the patriot army and militia to do their patriotic part to win the Revolutionary War.
Abraham Moses was one of them. He was listed as an army private in 1783. His cousin Solomon Simons was listed in the 1799 Mecklenburg County tax listing as having served in Captain Liggett's militia company. Both cousins are listed in the first United States census in 1790.
These were the first true Jewish settlers in Mecklenburg County. They operated The Jews Store between Waxhaw and Monroe, close to the site of the first Belk store called New York Cash. Moses died in 1821, leaving a wife, two daughters and three slaves, John, Betty and Violet. He left $50 to his brother Isaac in Germany, $25 to the synagogue in Charleston, SC (it was the closest), $5 to the Baptist church and $5 to the Methodist church.
Solomon's full name was Solomon Simons van Grol and he started a vast family in Charlotte. As a result, many well-known Charlotte people of today can count this Jewish merchant among their ancestors. Their family names? McCall. Rogers. Jones. Cuthbertson. Robinson. Springer. McCauley. Dillon. Bennett and—most important of all—Belk.
Aaron Cohen fought with George Washington. His daughter Elizabeth is buried in Charlotte's Hebrew Cemetery. Several early Jews are buried in Presbyterian church cemeteries because the Jewish cemetery didn't begin burials until 1872. You can spot the twin tablets among the crosses. Their inscriptions contain such remarks as, "A daughter in Israel."
When Charlotte was little more than a mid-19th century crossroads (Washington had called it "trifling" in 1791), Jews were operating dry goods stores, tanneries, grocery, furniture and clothing stores. The largest dry goods store was owned by Jacob Rintels and Samuel Wittkowsky. To staff their three-story business on Trade and Tryon, Wittkowsky attracted a number of teenage Jewish boys from New York. When the Civil War began, Wittkowsky, too old to fight, gave his clerks his blessing to become heroes. They all enlisted without hesitation. With only nine Jewish families living in Charlotte at the time, eleven boys put on Confederate uniforms. None returned north.
Louis Leon was one of them. He was perhaps the worst qualified soldier and least talented writer in the Confederate army. When that Charlotte store clerk was told to chop down a tree, he could not dent it. He was given other duties that gave him time to write a diary. That turned out to become one of the most priceless Civil War documents because it takes the reader right into the mud, freezing water, hundred-mile walks--and mind--of one Jewish footsoldier.
In that diary Leon wrote of General Robert E. Lee offering all Jewish soldiers passes to attend High Holy Day services in Richmond, regardless of the urgency of battle. Leon wrote of boys, faced with months without meat, paying 50 cents per rat. Leon lived to become Charlotte's first B'nai B'rith president and to lead the huge 1929 Confederate reunion that erected the courthouse monument to the 27 Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence signers.
Leon and 12 other Jewish Confederate veterans—from Captain Julius Roessler to Private Henry Wertheim--are honored today by the Sons of Confederate Veterans whose massive monument stands next to the chapel in Charlotte's Hebrew Cemetery.
Wittkowsky gained fame just after Lee surrendered. He heard that Governor Zebulon Vance, the most beloved person in North Carolina history, was to be arrested at his Statesville home and taken to prison in disgrace. Wittkowsky drove his buggy from Charlotte to Statesville in time to witness Vance, his wife and children crying their farewell. Wittkowsky told 200 Union troops he was driving Vance in dignity to his prison destination and that was that. After his release, Vance moved to Charlotte to begin a 10-year law practice near Wittkowsky. Vance wrote and delivered nationally his famous lecture, The Scattered Nation, telling of the remarkable qualities of the Jewish people.
Both men, one Presbyterian and one Jewish, were Masons. Together they founded Excelsior Masonic Lodge 261 in Charlotte with most of its first members Jewish, and which in time became North Carolina's largest Masonic lodge. Wittkowsky was its first Master. He was also the first elected president of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, co-founder of the Charlotte Country Club, founder of the first building and loan firm in the South and member of the Charlotte Board of Aldermen. He helped shape the Charlotte city charter. Clearly he was the leading Charlotte Jew of the 19th century.
After the Civil War Jay Hirschinger served on the Charlotte school board. He secured a grant from Andrew Carnegie to establish this city's first public library in 1891. Former Captain Julius Roessler ran a dry goods store on the Square like Wittkowsky and Rintels. Roessler was also a leading Mason and was responsible for constructing the famed Masonic lodge building on South Tryon Street that remained for generations. He also helped found Charlotte' first Jewish congregation in 1895 at 15 East Trade Street, upstairs over the Vogue shop owned by the Silverstein family. Later Charlotte Jews worshipped above a drugstore at Tryon and Fifth streets and at the corner of Church and Fourth streets. Remarkably, two Roessler grandchildren survived into the 21st century: Alice London Dukoff and Bill Grimes.
Michael Kirschbaum began as a hatmaker at 26 West Trade Street, later switching to furs. He and daughters Rebecca and Alma, for half a century, never changed their window display consisting of one stuffed fox.
World War I saw a substantial army base spring to life north of Wilkinson Boulevard at Dowd road called Camp Greene. Many Jewish soldiers served there and stayed to live out their lives in Charlotte. Out South Mint street near Park Avenue was Wearn Field, Charlotte's earliest baseball team and park, owned by Felix Hayman in the 1920s. By day Hayman ran a meat market at 33 North Tryon.
Two 1890s families, the Millers and Silversteins, have descendants in Charlotte today. The Miller home stood at 429 North Pine Street and the Silversteins' at 518 North Graham Street. Dannie and Alfred Heineman were born in a house on the Square in 1877. Dannie became a renowned financier in New York City and later established the Heineman Medical Research facility, today part of Carolinas Medical Center. Both Heinemans are buried in Charlotte Hebrew Cemetery. St. Peter's Episcopal Church at Seventh and North Tryon streets was built in 1895 featuring two large stars of David above its entrance. Its warden said they were placed there to affirm the debt of all Christians to their Jewish roots.
Jacob Rintels, one of nine Jewish families in Charlotte in 1850, built a splendid Italianate home on West Trade Street in 1874. It stands today as the earliest Jewish home in Charlotte at 1700 Queens Road. Its most recent selling price was $800 thousand.
Max Kahn and one of his brothers arrived early in the 20th century. His brother was approached one night by a white stranger who asked if he were a Jew. The brother said yes and was murdered on the spot. Because of that tragedy, Max moved away. But he returned, luckily for Charlotte. He was appointed to the state Democratic convention, managed Claude Albea's campaign for City Council, chaired the Charlotte Park and Recreation department in the early 1930s, was elected to the City Council in the mid 1930s, and headed the Mecklenburg County Welfare Board until his 1943 death.
The most respected and best known Charlotte Jew in the 20th century was Dick Blumenthal. He arrived from Savannah in 1924 and opened Radiator Specialty Company on South College Street after buying rights to a stop-leak chemical. He became the guiding light for both Temple Israel, orthodox-conservative, and Temple Beth El, reform. He developed Wildacres retreat in Little Switzerland, NC, as a center for interfaith activities, opened Charlotte's first Hebrew day school, originated the Circuit Riding Rabbi program to serve outlying families, created the Blumenthal Jewish Home and established the Blumenthal Foundation to support countless community and humanitarian causes. His brother Herman and grandsons continued his tradition of giving with such institutions as the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and Blumenthal Cancer Center.
The Levine family moved to Charlotte from Rockingham, NC, to make historic differences in the Jewish scene. Sherry Levine's husband Bernard Richter started Leon and Alvin Levine on their remarkable rise to become two of America's merchant princes. Leon Levine's 3,000-plus Family Dollar Stores, Alvin's Pic N Pay shoe chain, retailer Sherman Levine, real estate tycoon Louis Levine and peach marketers Lloyd and Benjy Richter are all part of the same family.
Charlotte and North Carolina are beneficiaries of an astounding array of charitable contributions by Leon and Sandra Levine, including the CPCC campus in Matthews, the Levine Museum of the New South, the new Children's Hospital at Carolinas Medical Center, the administration building at Charlotte Country Day School, Temple Israel, Shalom Park and the Leon Levine Science Research Center at Duke University.
If it weren't for Harry Golden, Charlotte would not be mentioned at all in Encyclopedia Judaica. His first solo work, Only in America, went off like a rocket. Most of his 20-some books were bestsellers, all written in his Charlotte homes. He was the one Charlotte Jew who took a brave leadership position in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. His syndicated column appeared in 200 daily newspapers. He received $25 a word from Reader's Digest and $1,000 for lectures. Subscriptions to his Carolina Israelite periodical exploded after network TV personality Jack Parr plugged it. He served as secretary of Temple Beth El for many years, writing its first constitution and religious school curricula. His archives and documents were catalogued by UNC Charlotte and are open to the public and researchers at the J. Murrey Atkins Library.
World War II saw many Jewish soldiers pouring into Charlotte from Morris Field and other nearby camps. That influx put the city's population over 100 thousand to begin a growth cycle that has never receded. Today Charlotte is the largest city in the two Carolinas, Charlotte' Jewish population the largest and Temple Beth El the largest Jewish congregation in both states.
After World War II, lawyer Arthur Goodman was practicing his Sunday afternoon hobby of tearing out tiny real estate ads. One tract intrigued him: acreage on unpaved Sharon-Amity Road. He thought that would make a fine site for a much-needed Jewish social and sports club. So he recruited 12 young men who had formed the Baker-Usilowitz chapter of the Jewish War Veterans. They agreed to cough up $100 each for a down payment. With Goodman they raised the rest of $6000 to buy the tract to organize the Amity Club. When that burned down years later, the stage was set for today's nationally famous Shalom Park.
Unique in all America, Shalom Park—Charlotte's Jewish Community Center--is a 54-acre expanding Jewish campus within the limits of a city of 600 thousand people. The original $6000 put together to begin the Amity Club is now a $50 million campus with thousands of members enjoying religious, educational, entertainment, arts, sports and social activities. It contains Temple Beth El and Temple Israel and is the focus of just about everything Jewish.
The name of Arthur Goodman also lives on in the suburb of Matthews. His widow and son donated family acreage to start up a Little League ballfield for their grandson, Robert Klein. Today Arthur Goodman Memorial Park and MARA have an annual budget of $650,000 to sustain an immense sports complex for thousands of children playing many sports on many venues.
Sis and Stan Kaplan came to Charlotte a generation ago to buy a quiescent WAYS radio station they quickly turned into the largest broadcast bonanza in the Charlotte region. Later they settled down to publishing the Leader newspaper—and retirement.
Morris Speizman came from Philadelphia to buy and sell textile machinery. He was eminent leading the Mint Museum, Charlotte Textile Club, Mercy Hospital and Hebrew Cemetery. He wrote the only book about the Jews of Charlotte. With fellow leaders like Harry Swimmer and Mark Bernstein, Speizman planned Shalom Park from imagination to documents to concrete.
Yossie Groner's father was secretary to the Rebbe, the world head of the Lubavitch movement. Rabbi Groner's arrival in Charlotte changed the face of Judaism throughout the Carolinas. His personal and religious family grew mightily. The Chabad campus on Sardis Road is a must-see for all Jews.
They say the nearby Catawba River is the best-dammed river in America, thanks to David Nabow. The chief engineer of Duke Power Company, he was responsible for the many dams that produce power for the two Carolinas. He was an early and long-time member of Temple Beth El. His engineering documents and artifacts, still in use, lie in the 6,000-foot Nabow Museum in the Energy Building uptown.
Jewish life is growing dramatically in Charlotte. It has The Charlotte Jewish News and congregational bulletins to keep twenty-some thousand Jews informed, concerned and committed. Its depth of professional and volunteer leaders and workers is an American model. New congregations and chavurot serve in refreshing ways. Interfaith activity is healthy and has been across the years from the first seven Presbyterian churches to 700 congregations today. There is sensitive care for those in need, every kind of need, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
As the past bumps into the future, one measure tells early Charlotte Jews that things are going well in the 2lst century.
Our young people remain here to make Charlotte their lifelong home.

The bed is quite simple to assemble and is very well packed to avoid scratches or dents. The only comment I have is that the center slat that includes the two center foot supports rquires a very odd attachment methodology (if you follow the directions). After some "activity" on the bed, however, the central support literally turned sideways and there was no longer central support. I then placed a screw in every slat from the top down (not the bottom up in only a few slats which was the recommendation in the instructions). This has worked nicely. Please note--if you do not own a power drill you will not be able to put this bed together. The slates do not have pre-drilled holes and you just need ot use a drill with a Phillps head to dower the screws into the slates. I am quite well versed with tools and thus had no problem wth an alternate assembly method. I could not be happier with this bed which fits so nicely into my minimalist environment.
This bed was very affordable and looks nice. Also, we were able to put it together easily. While we haven't had any problems with it I don't anticipate that it will last very long. However, because of the price I don't mind.
looks nice but it was hard to square up when putting it together. the amount of supports in the bed was more than enough. It is as comfortable as with box springs. once we put it together we were pleased. would buy it again. It goes with everything else in out bedroom.
I hate to leave bad reviews, but in my opinion this bed is one step above crap. I ordered and received this bed last October, and it is now February. The bed creeks. This drives me nuts. A brand new piece of furniture should not do this. I'm actually going to take the bed apart and reassemble it to try to fix this. We'll see. The center support board that runs from the foot to the head has two support stands that make contact to the ground. One of these support stands ripped out of the slat. The anchor itself ripped out when I shifted/slid the bed on a wood floor. The bed slats are very cheap wood slats. I'm actually considering going to Home Depot and replacing them all, when I reassemble the bed itself. OK, that's the bad.... The bed itself, looks great. It really does. The finish is great. The frame itself, I feel, is solid construction; the head, foot, and side rails are great.... if it weren't for the creaking! The "guts" of the bed are not so great. It's fairly easy and straight forward to set up, using the directions that come with the bed. In the end.... I think I got what I paid for. A nice looking bed, that was made to look good and perhaps be best suited for a guest bedroom.

SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) - Louis Oosthuizen is in familiar territory after a record-breaking performance at the HSBC-WGC Champions Tournament put him in pole position after the first two days at Mission Hills.
The 30-year-old from Mossel Bay holds a five-shot lead over Australia's Adam Scott and that is exactly the same advantage he had after the opening two rounds at St Andrews in 2010 on his way to winning The Open Championship.
Oosthuizen bettered the course record seven-under-par 65 he shot on Thursday with a nine-under 63 to mirror the lead he held over Mark Calcavecchia when he claimed The Open, his only major triumph to date.
"Scoreboard-wise it is probably the same, looking at the leaderboard there are so many great players up there," Oosthuizen told reporters after a round which included eight birdies and an eagle at the par-five seventh hole where he sank a long putt across the green.
"But it's far from over as it was at The Open. With this tournament, I am probably in a great position to win but it has not even crossed my mind at the moment.
"There is still a lot of golf to be played and I need to put myself in a great position going down the back nine."
On a course which has five par-fives, all of which offer birdie or eagle opportunities, there has been speculation the European Tour could witness its first 59-shot round.
Despite breaking the layout record twice, however, Oosthuizen remains skeptical. "I think 59 is something that when the day comes it just happens," he said.
"I would be really surprised if I shot 59 this week. I have just been playing really solid to shoot low numbers. You know for a 59 you need everything to go in, you need everything to go right."
Scott said making up a five-shot deficit over the weekend would be difficult with a quality player like Oosthuizen leading from the front.
The Australian kept pace with Oosthuizen with four birdies in his first seven holes but then fell back with three bogeys on the back nine.
"It's tough chipping around these greens," he said. "There are quite a lot of run-off areas and it's tricky to judge how your shots are going to respond when you hit chip shots."
Scott shares second place with another South African Ernie Els, who matched Oosthuizen's second-round 63 on Friday.

[cbbackup] Why does cbbackup refuse to retrieve design docs from remote nodes?
Wed, 03/20/2013 - 13:12
I'm working on implementing backups for my local CB cluster. I've found the code where the node list is filtered and all non-localhost entries are removed.
Is there a reason for this? Ideally, I would prefer to run my backups from a single backup node instead of needing to SSH into one of the CB nodes, but it seems the cbbackup code doesn't agree with me.
Who is wrong here? Me or the code?

Honeymark All Natural Liquid Hand Soap with Manuka Honey - 8 oz.
Honeymark's All Natural Liquid Hand Soap with Manuka Honey washes hands leaving skin feeling soft and clean. Discover the amazing, natural healing powers of Manuka Honey with Honeymark's All Natural Liquid Hand Soap with Manuka Honey. Indigenous to New Zealand, Manuka Honey is a natural healing source that helps to maintain healthy skin, even when other solutions fail. Take advantage of nature's best kept secret with Honeymark's All Natural Liquid Hand Soap with Manuka Honey.
Uses: Helps eliminate germs on hands.
Active Manuka Honey is used as a natural, therapeutic agent, both internally and topically on the skin. Apitherapy, the name given to treatment with honey and other bee products, has been used by many different cultures throughout history. Such uses are now being rediscovered by a modern world in light of new research into the properties and uses of Manuka Honey.
Manuka Honey has enjoyed growing acceptance by the academic and medical world as of late, and reports of Manuka honey's unique healing properties have proliferated in the press and media. Manuka Honey is produced by bees that gather pollen from the flowers of the Manuka tree, which is indigenous to New Zealand. The honey making process is enriched by the pollution-free environment of New Zealand. This special type of medical grade honey has been found to have extremely powerful healing properties. It is only thanks to clinical research, predominantly in the last decade, that they are now able to explain many of the therapeutic effects of Manuka Honey when used for medical purposes.
Why Honey?
Honey has been known for its healing properties for thousands of years. The Ancient Greeks and Egyptians used it and so have many other cultures through the ages. Even up to the second world war, honey was being used for its antibacterial properties in treating wounds. With the advent of penicillin and other antibiotic drugs in the twentieth century, doctors and other medical professionals were under the misconception that medicine was more effective than honey. However, recent case studies have indicated that certain types of honey (such as Active Manuka Honey) have been more effective in treating certain ailments, even more so than antibiotics. In all kinds of honey, hydrogen peroxide is produced from an enzyme that bees add to the nectar. It has been discovered that Manuka Honey seems to have the most healing properties due to plant-derived components.
Active Manuka Honey
Active Manuka Honey has been considered a remedy for many health conditions since ancient times. Manuka Honey is unique to New Zealand and contains non-peroxide antibacterial agents which can inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause slow healing wounds.
Medical Research
Dr Peter Molan, Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Waikato, has proven the natural antibacterial properties of Active Manuka honey during a decade of research at the university's Honey Research Unit.
In laboratory tests, UMF Active Manuka Honey inhibited the growth of bacteria which causes many skin infections including antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA and VRE. Recent clinical trials at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton, showed skin infections and wounds infected by "Golden staph" and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria responded well to Active Manuka Honey dressings.
The leading authority on medical research on UMF rated Manuka Honey is the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. The director of the unit is Dr. Peter Molan, who has devoted the majority of his career to understanding the properties of Manuka Honey and its varied applications.
15 Reasons to use Manuka Honey for Medical Purposes
Unique Characteristics of Manuka Honey
Why use their products?
The main reason is because they really work. Product efficacy is extremely important to us and, above all, they want their customers to recognize the quality that goes into their formulations. The term "Natural" is one of the most misused and misinterpreted words in their industry. When they say that they use natural ingredients, they mean that they are produced by living organisms, such as plants. They use these ingredients because they are safe, healthy and have phytochemical and biological activity that provides medicinal value to their products.
Other manufacturers use synthetic or chemical-based ingredients because they are less expensive than plant-derived, botanical ingredients. This helps to improve their profit margins. They have a different philosophy. They believe that if they produce high-quality products that actually work really well and are good for you, more people will want to use them. This seems like a simple concept but there are still millions of people who use products every day that contain toxic and questionably unsafe ingredients.
What is Honey?
Honey is a saturated solution of sugar made by bees that collect nectar, which is a liquid secretion from flowers. The honeybees take this nectar back to their hives where they add enzymes to it and place it in wax cells called honeycombs. This is where it ripens to form honey. During the ripening process, the enzymes convert sucrose into glucose and fructose. Honey has been used for medical purposes for many years. However, with the advent of antibiotics, medical professionals were under the misconception that modern medicine was more effective than honey. New research is proving otherwise.
What type of honey is in Honeymark products?
Honeymark uses active, certified UMF Manuka honey in all its products. This is a medical-grade honey that has been proven to be effective in treating many types of health conditions. Even though Honeymark is a U.S. company, the Manuka Honey is imported from New Zealand.
What is Manuka Honey?
Manuka Honey is a special type of mono-floral honey which is produced by bees that gather nectar from the flowers that grow on the Manuka bush (also known as tea tree or Leptospermum scoparium) which is indigenous to New Zealand. Studies have found that Manuka Honey contains very powerful antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties, making it extremely effective in treating a wide variety of health conditions.
How does Manuka Honey work?
All types of honey contain hydrogen peroxide which is produced when the bees add an enzyme to the nectar. Hydrogen peroxide is produced in a slow-release manner that is strong enough to be effective in destroying bacteria but low enough not to harm tissue. Manuka Honey is different in that it also contains plant-derived components, such as methylglyoxal and what some experts refer to as the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF).
What is UMF?
UMF is an acronym for 'Unique Manuka Factor' and is an antibacterial property which is present in Active Manuka Honey. UMF is a floral property that comes from the nectar of Manuka flowers and has been found to posses extraordinary healing powers. This antibacterial activity is not present in any other type of honey.
Manuka Honey is tested and rated for its antibacterial potency. It is generally accepted that Manuka Honey with a UMF rating of 10 or higher is appropriate for medical use. The higher the UMF rating, the higher the antibacterial activity.
UMF is a measuring system that rates the antibacterial potency of Manuka Honey. The UMF is determined by comparing the antibacterial activity of a given honey with the antibacterial activity of antiseptic phenol (carbolic) using a standard lab test. For example, a UMF rating of 10 is equivalent to the potency of a 10% solution of phenol.
The term "UMF" is a registered trademark of the Active Manuka Honey Association in New Zealand.
What's the Difference between UMF 10 and UMF 16?
It may be easy to assume that Manuka Honey with a higher potency rating is more effective or that it works faster. However, this isn't necessary true. The fact is that UMF 10 and UMF 16 are both active, medical-grade honeys and both will yield the same medicinal results that people have come to expect of Manuka honey. It's true that UMF 16 is more potent than UMF 10. However, UMF 10 still has all of the same health benefits as UMF 16. In our own laboratory studies, we have destroyed the MRSA bacterium with Manuka Honey UMF 10 and that is the most resilient bacteria known to man. UMF 10 is more abundant and more readily available than UMF 16 which is why it's less expensive. Before you consider spending the extra money for the UMF 16, please know that the UMF 10 is appropriate for medicinal use and equally as effective as the UMF 16.
How is Manuka Honey different from regular honey?
Standard honey has been used in the past to heal wounds, primarily due to the fact that it keeps the wound moist and nurtures the growth of new tissue with important vitamins and amino acids. Honey also contains hydrogen peroxide which is a known antiseptic. Therefore, regular honey could theoretically be effective in treating wounds. However, standard honey looses most of its healing properties when it comes in contact with wound fluids. Another problem is that honey has high sugar content which can actually promote the growth of bacteria. Only Active Manuka Honey has additional antibacterial properties that have the ability to destroy the bacteria that are responsible for infecting wounds. Manuka Honey is also stable so there is no concern of it losing its potency or healing properties.
There are a few major differences between ordinary honey and Manuka Honey.
The antimicrobial activity of Manuka Honey has been observed in many studies around the world. It has been discovered that Manuka Honey is effective in destroying the following bacterial and fungal microorganisms:
Research also indicates that Manuka Honey inhibits enzymes called cysteine proteases, which have been implicated in muscle-wasting diseases such as muscular dystrophy, viral replication, tumor invasion and metastasis.
If UMF Manuka Honey is considered to have active healing properties, why is it listed in the inactive ingredients list on the Honeymark website and labels?
Even though Manuka Honey has medicinal value and is effective in treating a wide variety of different health conditions, honey is not yet considered to be an FDA recognized drug. Therefore, Honeymark is limited in terms of marketing Manuka Honey as a medicine or an active ingredient within the United States. Ministries of Health and other foreign FDA equivalents in other countries have already approved Manuka Honey as a medicine. Hopefully the U.S. will catch up soon.
Can Manuka Honey destroy MRSA and heal Staph infections?
There is documented evidence indicating that Manuka Honey is capable of destroying the MRSA bacterium. Bacteria has the ability to mutate and become resistant to elements that are attempting to destroy them, such as antibiotics. However, Manuka Honey destroys bacteria in a different manner, by drawing water out of the bacteria, making it impossible for the microbes to survive. To date, there has been no reported bacteria that has been able to develop a resistance to Manuka Honey.
What is Methylglyoxal?
Some scientists have reason to believe that Methylglyoxal may be one of the compounds responsible for the antibacterial action in Manuka honey. However, others believe that the Methylglyoxal level in Manuka Honey does not account for the antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of Manuka Honey is due to synergy between Methylglyoxal and non-antibacterial components. This synergy accounts for half or more of the UMF activity.
The antibacterial activity of Methylglyoxal is far less when it is in water than when it is in honey. It has less than half of the antibacterial activity that is seen when the same level is in Manuka Honey. This is scientific proof that the Methylglyoxal present in Manuka Honey does not account for the non-peroxide (UMF) antibacterial activity of Manuka Honey by itself . Increased levels of Methylglyoxal only add to the base level of activity, which is why the antibacterial activity of the honey does not increase in proportion to the level of Methylglyoxal .
Can Manuka Honey be used to treat wounds or burns?
Manuka Honey is one of the best treatments available for wounds and burns because it provides a moist, sterile environment for the regeneration of tissue. It also makes a soft barrier between the wound and bandages, preventing new tissue from being torn away when the dressing is changed. Manuka Honey is capable of destroying the bacteria the cause infection in wounds. It is especially useful in treating persistent, hard-to-heal wounds such as leg ulcers, bed sores and 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree burns that don't respond to conventional treatments, antibiotics or other traditional forms of medication.
What are the special skin care characteristics of Manuka honey?
Manuka Honey is a natural skin moisturizer that has the ability to draw water molecules into the skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that act as a natural pain reliever, an antibacterial agent that can heal infections and antifungal properties that can eliminate ringworm and other fungal infections.
Can children safely use Honeymark products?
While medical professionals recommend that children less than 12 months old should not ingest honey of any kind, there is no harm in infants using honey topically on the skin. It is also perfectly safe to ingest honey if you are pregnant.
Are Honeymark products animal friendly and cruelty free?
Honeymark products are not tested on animals.

This was the unorthodox advice doled out by a child development expert at a lecture for parents of multiples I attended while my young boy and girl twins were still in diapers. The topic of the discussion was on managing competition and rivalry between children close in, or of the same, age. I was a new mother at the time – absorbing parenting information like a sponge. The lecturer's anecdotal advice revolved around the notion that young siblings will always expect – in fact, demand – total equality in parenting … from the measurement of hugs and kisses, to the distribution of toys, to the quantity of play dates, and even down to exactly how evenly that proverbial chocolate chip cookie (lest there only be one to share) is divided. She explained to our group of unsuspecting new parents that "it would be our kids who would keep us accountable." I left the meeting that night with the chocolate chip cookie message reverberating in my head. Not only did I take it to heart, but I went home and shared the "news" with my husband that we had better maintain total balance in the parenting of our new twins … or else.
The phenomenon, as it relates to children's expectations, does, of course, ring true. As soon as our twins could walk and talk, they began to assert their need for equal measures of attention. It started with benign requests like "She licked the ice cream spoon; I want to also" and "Santa brought him a bigger toy … can I have one the same size?" Children under the age of five don't have the maturity or perspective thinking to not sweat these details – and they are surprisingly adept sticklers for record-keeping. As our kids grew beyond toddler-hood, the comparative lessons in equality evolved to include social-based as well as material needs: "Why does she get to go on a play date – and I don't?" or "Why is he invited to that birthday party and I'm not?" and so on.
According to Rachelle Tyler, M.D., developmental-behavioral pediatrician at the Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA, sibling rivalry is a healthy part of growing up.1 Young children often make comparative observations – especially at a developmental age where they are still trying to make sense of the rapidly expanding world around them. There are many good rules of thumb for effectively and lovingly guiding same or near age children to help them feel safe and secure in their core family relationships. These include some obvious common sense tactics2 such as:
• Don't play favorites
• Don't make comparisons between your children in front of them
• Do reinforce the idea that "everyone is good at something different, and no one is great at everything"
• Do always try to promote cooperation (through activities, chores and tasks that can turn into opportunities for sharing and bonding )
• Do make sure that you and the other adults in your children's lives are not demonstrating overly competitive behavior, which presents poor role modeling
• Do set aside individual, uninterrupted time to be spent with each child on a weekly basis that doesn't involve any competition for attention
Our little ones are now past the early tribulations of the pre-school years – so rich in the behavioral lessons that become the beacons for self-esteem and character building. As I look back at the many times my husband and I smirked to each other about what we still affectionately refer to as the "Chocolate Chip Cookie Syndrome," I'm thankful that, as we grew ourselves into the role of parenting, we were mindful of - but not slaves to - the issue of sibling, and especially twin, equality. We have tried thus far to raise our same age children on a consistent playing field that delivers a comparable experience within reason – with "reason" being the operative word. Ebb and flow is perhaps more important in life than pure "equality." After all, sometimes things work out the way we want them to and sometimes they don't – but with a measure of luck, it often all balances out in the end.
Most importantly, multiples and siblings close in age need differentiation to develop their own sense of identity – and when experiences are always matched tit for tat, this unique awareness is inhibited. According to author Susan Heim's parenting forum, "it is important to focus not on treating (children) equally, but on treating them fairly and on finding ways to meet their individual needs."3 While their experiences may not be the same on every occasion, close age siblings can grow in the confidence and knowledge that they will each be able to eventually "take their turn." Perhaps this way of thinking is the chocolate chip cookie philosophy in reverse.
Every family with young children close in age will ultimately need to find their own unique sense of balance within their household, matched to their personal style of child-rearing. My husband and I have thankfully moved beyond feeling the weight of those early infant-era pressures to serve up exactly "equal parts" of the experience for our multiples. Others with near age siblings will also need to navigate their way through this same delicate balance of parenting – in large part, following their intuition about what feels right for their family. There is, however, one aspect of the now tongue-in-cheek "cookie theory" that we do still live and die by – and, as any parent who has more than one child can attest to, it revolves around the power of love for our children. Now, that's one thing that will always be … equal on both sides and "straight down the middle."

Potential Tax Changes Could Slam Financial LPs
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Carlyle Group LP (NASDAQ: CG) co-founder David Rubenstein recently noted during the company's quarterly conference call that he believes the elimination of the carried interest tax "loophole" will be on the table in a second Obama term. This isn't surprising, since it's been on the table before, even while Republicans controlled the White House. This could be a very bad thing for some limited partnerships (LPs). Investors in LPs need to keep an eye on this issue, particularly if they own financially-focused LPs.
What's Carried Interest?
Roughly defined, carried interest is the share of profits that a hedge fund manager or private equity manager get as compensation for his or her services. These fees can be quite large, since 20% of profits is a generally accepted figure (it's the 20 in the "2 and 20" fee structure). Typically, carried interest is treated as a capital gain, allowing this source of income to receive favorable tax treatment. Although this situation has been discussed before, it took center stage during the 2012 presidential election because, according to most accounts, Mitt Romney's wealth is largely attributable to carried interest.
The impact of any tax changes to carried interest could materially alter the cost structure of hedge funds and at private equity shops. While these are areas in which the average investor generally doesn't participate, a small collection of publicly traded private equity firms make it a kitchen table issue. Many of these are set up as limited partnerships.
Such tax changes could reach further down into the LP space, too, impacting energy-related partnerships and some of the "odd" partnerships, like Cedar Fair, which owns amusement parks. However, there is broad support for energy-related partnerships that the financial-related firms just don't have. Moreover, it has been suggested in Washington that the LP structure should, in fact, be extended to allow for solar power and other renewable energy source LPs. So energy-related LPs seem to have much more support.
Some Names To Watch...
Carlyle is one company that investors should be concerned about, particularly since its co-founder has stated as much. However, there are several others that face potential problems, too. This includes Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) and AllianceBernstein (NYSE: AB), as well non-LP firms like Fortress Investment Group (NYSE: FIG). Anyone already watching this space will note that Alliance is less private equity and more asset manager, which is true. However, simply being in the financial arena and an LP will likely doom the company to being thrown out with the bathwater, and the baby, when the market reacts.
Note, too, the recent conversion of real estate-focused W.P. Carry (NYSE: WPC) from an LP to a REIT via a complex acquisition. The sole purpose of the transaction was to get away from the limited partnership structure. This triple net lease REIT had historically been a top industry performer, but it always had the stigma of being an LP. Avoiding the potential of tax scrutiny was likely an additional incentive for the deal, and makes W.P. Carry more attractive.
Other Loopholes To Consider
Of course, if the government looks to close tax loopholes, REITs like W.P. Carry could come under increased scrutiny as well. Indeed, these companies avoid corporate-level taxation by passing along at least 90% of earnings to shareholders, who pay taxes on the distributions at their normal income tax rate. A change here would be a massive issue for everyday investors. And, if REITs get the evil eye of the tax man, so too will business development companies, which have a similar structure.
The purpose of this article isn't to suggest that a tax Armageddon is coming. But there are tax issues that need to be watched when you are dealing with investments that have a tax benefit of some sort. Indeed, the Halloween Massacre of Canadian Royalty Trusts was brutal for many small investors in Canada and the United States, and proves that such changes can happen. And sometimes they happen overnight.

Sartain, Woronuik honored
The Mt. Baker Chapter of the American Red Cross presented Fire Hero Awards to Brenna Woronuik of Blaine and Blaine police detective Dan Sartain last Friday, December 10 in Bellingham. The pair were honored for rescuing Dr. Phil Walrod, 83, and his live-in care-giver Gordon Schmautz from Walrod's house at 1578 D street last July 5 at 3 a.m. as it burned, suffering over $180,000 in damage. It was later determined that the blaze was ignited by neighborhood fireworks. Walrod was unhurt but Schmautz suffered first and second degree burns over much of his upper body.
Awards were presented to over 20 groups and individuals in thirteen different categories at a fundraising breakfast attended by over 350 people, hosted by the chapter at Bellingham's Lakeway Inn.

Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker is asking for an exemption to a law passed seven months ago mandating that appointees to county boards and commissions live within the county.
In a proposal submitted to the council Tuesday, Baker requested that he be allowed to appoint Public Employee Relations Board members who do not live in Prince George's County. Appointees to the board are "required to possess specialized skills, expertise and knowledge," according to the proposal.
"[The Public Employee Relations Board] works differently than other boards and commissions," said Baker spokesman Scott Peterson. "The composition is regulated by the Labor Code, which specifies that appointments must be made from a list of names obtained from American Arbitration Association and Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service."
The board is meant to administer the county's Labor Code with respect to legal representation, unfair labor practices and bargaining disputes. When the American Arbitration Association and Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service present lists of candidates, Peterson said, the county has access only to their business addresses.
"This is meant to be more of an arm's-length process," he said. "Thus, the pool of possible appointments is restricted to the names received from these agencies."
The residency requirement was passed after Baker appointed a Charles County resident, Christopher Aragona, to the Prince George's County Redevelopment Authority, a move that was met with criticism from council members and residents. The measure requires appointees to live in the county at the time of their confirmation, remain in the county for their term and resign immediately if they move out.
"We have so many people who live here, who are qualified, who have a vested interest," Council Chairwoman Andrea Harrison, D-Bladensburg, said when the requirement passed. "We just believe that members of our boards and commissions should be residents of Prince George's County."
In an earlier case, county school board member Rosalind Johnson resigned her seat after it was revealed she had been living outside her district for four months, which is a violation of Maryland law.
Another outsider, D.C. resident Alec Simpson, is the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission's representative on the county's Art in Public Places Panel. Simpson and Aragona were both allowed to keep their positions thanks to a grandfather clause. Peterson stressed that both were "very involved in the community, owned businesses in the county and made significant contributions" to Prince George's.

KEEPING up with the Burford Orchestra is no piece of cake.
Especially when you have not picked up your bow and violin for 18 years.
But mother-of-two Yolanda Harrison, who lives in the town, couldn't wait to take part in a drop-in come and play session with the community orchestra.
The 36-year-old from Burford played music from the hit Disney film Pirates of the Caribbean alongside folk tunes on Sunday.
Mother to William, two, and Conrad, 10 months, Ms Harrison was pleased to rekindle her passion for music.
She said: "Anybody could pick up their instrument after many years and have a go.
"I had my violin and four hours later I was playing along.
"It was lovely. I stopped playing the violin when I went to university, but it was lovely to play again. There were a lot of teachers there, but it was great to be part of an orchestra."

Sharing tailor-made for library groups
Library groups and consortia can achieve efficient, cost-effective pooling of collections with WorldShare Interlibrary Loan. Setup is simple, especially if participants are already OCLC member institutions. Libraries in the group easily contribute their holdings to WorldCat, so they are visible to WorldCat searchers. And through FirstSearch, users are always directed to local and group-owned materials first. Then they can use a "display holdings" option to find items in the broader WorldCat universe.
The solution for GACs
Group Access Capability (GAC) organizations, ad hoc associations of libraries united by subject matter, geography or another attribute, can also use WorldShare Interlibrary Loan. All members have access to each other's bibliographic, locations and summary holdings records.
Join an international GAC created by OCLC
OCLC has created its own Global Sharing GAC to facilitate lending across national boundaries.

Childcare Options for Babies and Toddlers
Childcare Centers
These are commercial or non-profit centers outside of a private home. They provide childcare for up to 120 children per day. With a center you eliminate the problem of no childcare if your family childcare provider is ill. You also have the comfort of knowing that there are many providers to help your child. If one becomes frustrated, another can step in to help.
These providers must meet certain minimal criteria regarding the number of children per staff member, immunization history of children, and cleanliness of the environment. They are regulated by state or local laws and may be accredited by national agencies as meeting certain minimum standards. Staff members frequently have training in child health and development. The cost for this type of childcare varies but is usually more expensive than a family childcare home. In the United States, the cost varies from about $115 to over $200 per week. Cost per child varies depending on geographic region, age of your child, number of children you enroll, days per week, and hours per day that you use their services.

Tracing the paths of humpback whales
For the past ten years, researchers have been tagging hump back whales in the Gulf of Maine with a temporary tracking device called a D-tag. Whereas old tech only recorded location at the surface, the D-tag records depth and orientation allowing researchers to record feeding and diving patterns, which turns out to be pretty unique for each whale.
Scientists hope to use the data to shift fishing and boating policies in the area. Kelly Slivka for the New York Times reports. Be sure to watch the video with the scientists pointing at their computer screens.

is an
excellent documentary about the football team at Manassas High School in North
Memphis, Tennessee. But don�t worry � you don�t have to love football to love
this film. You probably don�t even need to like football. This film is really
about overcoming obstacles, working together toward a common goal, and rising
above one�s set of circumstances. The idea is that your dreams are not
necessarily out of reach, although there is plenty of heartbreak and trouble
along the way. As a former NFL player tells the team early on, �
You gotta think
outside your circumstances
This is a team in an underfunded system, a team that has
always lost, once having a season record of 0-10. They play in an area that is
basically poor. The plant that supplied most of the families with jobs closed,
and so a lot of folks moved out. (There are several shots of boarded up houses
during the opening credit sequence.) This film documents one season in which
the team attempts to do what the school had never done before � win a play-off
The film starts with the team�s coach, Bill Courtney,
listing off players who have been shot and are no longer in school; also, another
player was arrested, and this was all within two weeks. And yet he tells them, �
is our season � I don�t care what happens
.� The film takes us through the
entire season, starting with the first day of practice.
Before their second game, there is a talk of a planned
fight after this district game. At the half, Manassas is down, 20-0. The
players are obviously down as well. Bill Courtney tells them optimistically, �
is an unbelievably good opportunity
And the team does manage to come back in the second half. As incredible
as that is, the footage after the game is even more intense. Because of the
worry of a fight, the cops stop the teams from shaking hands. And you realize
just how serious things are. The celebration of the victory juxtaposed with
very real concern of the police for the team�s safety is a seriously engaging
moment in the film. And this film is full of such moments.
The team�s coaches are all volunteers.
The head coach, Bill Courtney, began
volunteering six years before this film was shot. His first year there, the
team won four games, so they were no longer the worst team in the state.
Bill Courtney says, �
You think football
builds character, which it does not. Football reveals character
.� Bill can
relate to these kids because his own father left when he was four years old.
Not only does Courtney coach these kids, but he has to solve problems among
teammates (and in doing so, he misses his own son�s first game).
Besides the coaches, the film focuses on several of the
team�s key players. O.C. is a senior, and plays left tackle. He lives with his
grandmother, and sees football as his way out. When O.C.�s grades slip he moves
into coach Mike Ray�s house, because tutors wouldn�t go to O.C.�s house.
Seriously. These are kids who really care, who are trying to make it, who are
putting in the effort. And these are coaches who go way beyond simply teaching
them how to play the game.
Montrail (AKA �Money�) is also a senior, and plays right
tackle. He is small for the position, but mentally tough. Money�s is one of the
more heartbreaking (and ultimately heartwarming) story lines in this film. He is
injured, and is unable to play for the rest of the season. The footage of him
hearing the news from his doctor is intense. Again, you come to really care for
these guys.
The film also focuses on Chavis, a junior linebacker who
returns to school after serving fifteen months in a youth penitentiary. He gets
into fights with other players, and is suspended from team rather than kicked
One of the elements of this story that I found
fascinating was how they funded the football program. They used to play what
were called pay games, where the team would be bused out to another school, and
as Courtney says,
They�d beat our ass,
they�d give us a check, and send us back on our way. And those five or six
games would raise fifteen to twenty thousand dollars and that�s what would fund
the football program
.� The problem with that, of course, is then when you got
to your district games, your kids were already beat up and defeated. So they
started Manrise, a program to raise money.
directed and edited by Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin.
Bonus Features
This DVD has some good bonus material. There is a
commentary track with directors Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin. There are six
deleted scenes, including stuff with Joaquin, a player who spent most of his teen
years in foster care. It must have been a tough decision to cut this footage
from the film.
The Making Of
(8 � minutes) includes
interviews with Bill Courtney, Dan Lindsay, TJ Martin and Sean Combs. (Combs is
one of the executive producers.) Dan Lindsay talks about how the idea for the
documentary began with a newspaper article about O.C. He and TJ Martin talk
about their experience at the Academy Awards too.
And there is a black and white teaser trailer.
scheduled to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on February 19, 2013.

I began modeling in 2012 for David Lasalle and The Menz Room. I never knew how much I would start modeling following the hair show. I decided to dive in and give it my best shot. Since then I lost 40 pounds, developed my posing, and continued to get in shape. I now do all types of modeling including underwear, print work, runways, editorials, and almost every other style (with the exception of nude modeling). From the begining I have recieved great support from family, friends, and my newly found fans.

For Lawyers
Legal Services to the Poor in Civil
Standing Committee of the State Bar of Texas
To concern itself with creation and means of implementation of programs, such as legal aid or pro bono efforts, to assure delivery of legal services to persons who are unable to afford counsel to represent them in civil matters. The composition of the committee shall include members of legal aid, legal services and pro bono programs, including at least one director from a Legal Service Corporation-funded field program.
For questions related to the Legal Services to the Poor in Civil Matters Standing Committee, please contact the Legal Services Support Division, the State Bar's pro bono department:
- Cathryn Ibarra, Program Attorney, (800) 204-2222, ext. 1839.
- For information about low-income legal services
in Texas, please visit www.TexasLawHelp.org or call the Lawyer Referral
Information Program at
(800) 252-9690.
History and Partners
The Legal Services to the Poor in Civil Matters Standing Committee of the State Bar of Texas is Texas' oldest statewide organization devoted to increasing low-income Texans' access to civil justice. The Committee was organized as a standing committee of the Bar in 1972. The Committee strives to work closely and at common purpose with a number of organizations, including the Texas Access to Justice Commission (http://www.texasatj.org/) and the Texas Access to Justice Foundation (http://www.teajf.org/).
The Committee's volunteer members help the Board of Directors carry out one of the Bar's core missions, to "assure all citizens equal access to justice."
An important part of the Committee's job is to study and recommend suitable policy initiatives for Board consideration. Accordingly, for the past three decades, the Committee has served as the source for many of the Bar's successful civil pro bono initiatives. For example, in the area of funding alone, the Committee helped develop the IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers' Trust Accounts) program and the Texas Access to Justice Foundation in 1984, convert the IOLTA program to a comprehensive one in 1988, and initiate filing fee legislation in 1993 (passed into law in 1997).
The Committee has also served as the initial screening stage for the Bar's pro bono awards, and as a clearinghouse to monitor developments in, and facilitate coordination of efforts with, federally-funded LSC (Legal Services Corporation) providers and a variety of private organizations and local bar initiatives. With the TATJC, the Committee sponsors, and through its budget helps to fund, the ATJ track at the State Bar's annual Bar Leaders Conference.
Recently, the Committee has been highly involved in Hurricane Ike disaster relief efforts through its spearheading of LiveHelp, an online service that allows low-income persons impacted by Hurricane Ike to conduct online chats with volunteer attorneys. See www.texaslawhelp.org.
Committee appointment terms commence after the annual meeting at which the President-Elect becomes President. Unless otherwise noted, appointment terms are for three years and no member may serve on more than one committee at a time. Participation is important and failure to contribute in the work of the committee may result in removal from the committee. The State Bar of Texas will accept requests for committee member positions for the upcoming 2011-2012 bar year until December 3, 2010. Appointment requests received after the deadline will be considered for the 2012-2013 bar year. If you are interested in helping lead the Texas legal profession into the future, and would like to be considered for an appointment to a State Bar standing committee, visit the Committees web page for more information or contact firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone at (512) 427-1516.

People magazine reports exclusively that "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Phaedra Parks is pregnant with a second child and shows a picture of her in the Bahamas looking quite bumpy.
The attorney and her husband Apollo Nida have one other son, Ayden, who is two years old. On the show, they have showed her over-the-top birthday parties for Ayden and Phaedra freely says she likes to spoil him, calling him a prince.
They recently released a fitness video "Phine Body," which focuses on building what Phaedra likes to call her "donkey booty." The descriptive says it features :"a mix of aerobic dance elements, cardio training, strength training, core toning, and upbeat music."
On "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," which is currently airing video taped over the summer, Phaedra and Apollo talk about putting the video together.
This past Sunday's episode coincidentally featured a story line where rumors of the couple getting a divorce popped up on a gossip site and the producers revealed that the pair have some issues. But they refuted any divorce rumors by French kissing each other passionately in front of the cameras.
Coincidentally, I saw Apollo at Lenox Square Mall yesterday with a few of his male buddies by the Great American Cookie.

Here is a shocking statistic: Every two minutes, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. And one of the biggest problems is the rising use of date rape drugs at parties.
If you're out at a party or bar and someone spikes your drink with Rohypnol, GHB or Ketamine, you don't have a clue.
"They'll introduce that intoxicant while the victim is not looking. Quite often people offer to buy drinks for the victim," observes Lt. Alan Hamilton with the Los Angeles Police Department.Hamilton says these powerful sedatives are colorless, odorless and tasteless … and can quickly render victims unconscious and completely at the mercy of a sexual predator. He warns that date rape drugs are changing how a growing number of sex crimes are committed."You have to be aware that it's not necessarily going to be the individual that's going to try to force you into a car or force you into a dark alley somewhere. What we've now found is that those suspects, those predators, are now moving within social circles," says Hamilton.Hamilton says college-age women are four times more likely to be sexually assaulted than any other age group.Diva Kass was a 20-year-old university student when she was raped at a fraternity party."Once he'd given me the drink, it felt like I wasn't there anymore. I felt like I was watching the party from sort of the outside even though I was in the middle of it," Diva recalls. "I remember him leading me out of the room. I know some time elapsed, but I just don't remember what happened. I just remember sort of feeling disoriented. And then I heard the door locking behind me. The next thing I really remember is being pinned down on the edge of his bed by him."Diva was at a party when she was drugged, but Hamilton says more and more rapists are using online dating sites, social media and chat rooms to lure victims into a face-to-face date.No matter how or where you meet someone, Hamilton stresses that you should always be cautious.If someone offers you a drink, make sure you've seen exactly where it came from. If you already have a drink, don't leave it unattended – even when you go to the bathroom.
If you're drinking a non-alcoholic beverage but feel drunk, tell someone.
Always let your friends know where you are and who you're with. And if you're out with friends, keep an eye on them. If they're acting drugged or disoriented, don't let them get isolated or leave."I knew that I remembered saying 'no' to this person, but in a really strange, nightmare-like way," says Diva. "I did know about rape, but it's definitely one of those things that you think will never happen to you."
If you think you've been drugged or raped, get medical care right away. Call 911 or have a trusted friend take you to a hospital emergency room.
