Christmas Gift Ideas for Shooters
A lot of people out there probably get confused when it comes to shopping for the gun toting person in your family. This can be especially true if you don't know much about the sport. The purpose of this video is to clue you in on the types of things that us guys (and you hip girls out there) like when it comes to cool gun related gadgets. Hopefully you will glean some knowledge from this video and come up with some great stocking stuffer ideas for Christmas this year. For some of you, this will likely be a refresher and you may be reminded of something you didn't think about. Go easy on Chad, this was his first time doing a Vlog with me…. 😉

The RNLI Cross Bay Walk, also known as the Morecambe Bay Walk, took place on the 25th June.
The Lifeboat Amateur Radio Society established a special event station at Holker Hall, the finishing point for the walk, under the callsign GB5RNLI. However, we also, rather fiendishly, thought it would be a good idea to send Chris (M6XJP), our Treasurer, on the walk as our roving reporter. He and his wife bravely tackled the event and here is his story (also have a look at his image gallery) – thanks Chris (and Mrs Chris)… read more

Thanks to Adam for this. He says:
knockoff pirate corn hole boards w/ a shark tank tee in betwixt. Opposite of licensed.
Only these boards wouldn't understand what you're talking about if you mentioned the Pirates. It's Pittsburgh Baseball or nothing.
With this being the first baseball season in 20+ years that the postseason is attainable, we cannot really fault anyone for rushing generic Pirates products to market. You could probably put the word Pittsburgh and a picture of like the Captain Morgan pirate and Buccos fans would probably snatch it up in preparation for October tailgates.
The unlicensed Shark Tank shirts in the middle are just icing on this delicious generic cake.
Go Buccos.
If you have any unlicensed Pittsburgh sports gear, or awesome generic sports gear from any team, send them to me and I'll post them.

Show Me a Fun and Funky Christmas
Show Me a Fun and Funky Christmas
One of my personal favorites! Who could ever be sad when surrounded by these colors!
Sometimes we ignore the décor and go with traditional colors for the Christmas decorating and sometimes we embrace the décor and treat it as part of the whole look.
In this home we wanted the decorations to look like they could be up all the time.
In the front room we chose a white tree to showcase the bright ornaments. It was a fun focal point for the room.
Hanging a fun finial from the curtain rod made a colorful statement.
We created a whimsical centerpiece for the table featuring a Mark Roberts fairy. The table looks so yummy it hardly needs food! Well, a cookie or two never hurts!
The top hat showcases her beautiful collection of Radko ornaments. We added floral, ribbon, and snowflakes to take her tree to a whole other level.
The nine foot garland added another dimension to her chine hutch. Garlands are not just for mantels or doorways. They can be used in many places to finish off and compliment your personal items.

The Rize of Bluegrass
In a world filled with over-the-top pop stars, it's always refreshing when virtuosic musicians turn out to be humble and unassuming. Take Hot Rize, for example. These men, four of the best bluegrass musicians on the planet, visited Berklee last month for a clinic, and if you didn't notice they were wielding stringed instruments, you could have sworn they were just four guys waiting for a cup of coffee.
But hearing Hot Rize perform a tune—and they played several during the 90-minute Berk Recital Hall session—is like taking a dose of aural caffeine. Your toes start tapping, your head starts bobbing, and you want to start singing along.
Hot Rize—Pete Wernick, banjo; Tim O'Brien, mandolin and fiddle; Nick Forster, bass; and Bryan Sutton, guitar—were playing a show that night in Cambridge, and came to Berklee thanks to the energetic work of faculty member Matt Glaser, artistic director of Berklee's American Roots Music Program.
"It's incredible—the level of dynamics and interplay and grooving stuff happening all the time," Glaser gushed after Hot Rize played "Just Like You."
This was one of those Berklee clinics when students asked a few questions but seemed more interested in hearing the band play as much music as possible. And Hot Rize was happy to comply. But there were a few interesting comments:
On ensemble playing
We mostly just try to listen to each other. It's the hardest thing to do in music. –Tim O'Brien
You do what you can to make this music sound better . . . you do what the music needs. –Pete Wernick
On improvising
There's wiggle room to keep the parts fresh. I like things when they're unpredictable, but you have to have some sort of frame. –O'Brien
On playing banjo accompaniments
To play banjo, you don't have to have a license, but you should. You don't want to drown them out. I'll usually just play two notes, on the first and fourth strings. Just providing a pulse in the background, but taking up no space sonically. I'm just a little tick there biting his legs. –Wernick

I'm back!!
Posted August 31, 2011on:
Sorry to have left y'all hanging. I couldn't log in! A helpful person from wordpress named Chris finally managed to get me back in.
Update! Our house survived the fire. We lost two well pipes, some weeds (no big loss there!) & some trees & shrubs. We had other incidental damage (pool full of ash & mold, etc) but basically we're fine. Our neighbors however weren't so lucky. Everyone around us had some type of structural damage including one neighbor who left windows open for their swamp cooler & so had a home that smelled like smoke. The others all had fire damage. This was just on my side of the street. Across from us was almost completely burned out. Only two homes on the opposite side of the street remain. The rest are gone. Between my street & the next almost 50 homes were destroyed. A fireman who witnessed the blazed in my area said that it looked like a tornado that literally rolled over the top of my house. It amazes & humbles me that we still have a home.
So the fire danger for us is pretty much over right now since we're nearing the end of our monsoon season. The fire did leave us a much bigger legacy in that for the next 3 – 5 yrs we can expect flash flooding in our area. Indeed every time it rains up on the mt we get stuck on our street because the road washes out. We have had a few flood issues on our property but nothing inside buildings. I find it very surreal sometimes to see all of this.
Right now it's amazing because it's so green. Easy to see where the big damage is because we used to have big beautiful oaks & now there's these charred limbs stretching up to the sky. When I first got back I had to pull over because I was sobbing so hard. It looked like something out of a Tim Burton movie.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers, well wishes & support! I love you all & appreciate your kindness!!
5 Responses to "I'm back!!"
I'm so glad you guys are OK!
So glad to hear you are okay and that your home is mostly okay, too! Welcome back!
I am so glad our prayers were answered for you but wish the rest had been saved too. So hard to watch and not be able to do anything to help. We love you, Mom

For Immediate Release
Rising Toll of Floods Calls for a National Investment in Our Natural Defenses
WASHINGTON - It's been over a month since NOAA released their spring flood forecast warning that the stage was set for potential widespread, record flooding in the Midwest for the third consecutive year.
This week we are seeing the rising toll of flooding in Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois among other midwestern states and our hearts go out to those who have suffered tremendous losses.
In southeastern Missouri, a levee along the Black River in the area of Poplar Bluff breached south of the city flooding the community.
Northeast of Poplar Bluff, at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, town residents of Cairo, Illinois have been forced to evacuate. Floodwaters have now surpassed the highest level since 1937 and threaten to overtop or breach the floodwall protecting Cairo. The Corps of Engineers was forced to make a difficult decision: they had to use explosives to intentionally breach the Birds Point Levee and re-route the rising floodwaters onto farmlands into nearby Missouri to save the town of Cairo.
While it's critically important to focus all efforts on safeguarding communities and ensuring public safety and recovery, we also must not lose sight of the need for a long-term vision to move beyond desperate measures like blowing up levees and instead toward a comprehensive flood risk and community safety strategy that invests in nonstructural, green infrastructure solutions that can safely convey more water naturally through the landscape.
We find ourselves in a different world –frequent and intense droughts and flood events are increasingly becoming more common as compared to past events as rainfall, snowpack, and temperatures shift. The consequences of shifting weather patterns will depend in large part upon choices that we have made in the past and are making now.
Today, millions of Americans are living in harm's way with inadequate protection from increasingly frequent floods. We have spent billions on gray infrastructure such as dams and levees, yet flood damage continues to increase, costing taxpayers an estimated $15 billion annually. Huge federal outlays for flood protection will be a thing of the past as the Administration works to achieve its goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction over the next 12 years. However, that doesn't negate the necessity and moral imperative to protect life and property.
The real question is, how do we respond?
American Rivers' believes that the best outcome for communities and rivers is to protect and restore our natural defenses – our rivers, wetlands, floodplains, forests and upland and coastal areas.
This is the world we live in. This is the world we cover.
Because of people like you, another world is possible. There are many battles to be won, but we will battle them together—all of us. Common Dreams is not your normal news site. We don't survive on clicks. We don't want advertising dollars. We want the world to be a better place. But we can't do it alone. It doesn't work that way. We need you.

Work starts on latest Growth Point infrastructure
The latest phase of infrastructure development to the East of Exeter is underway.
Devon County Council has today (Monday 6 February) started work on the widening of around 1km of the old A30 (now the B3174), from the Cranbrook development westwards to the Clyst Honiton Bypass. The bypass is being constructed at the same time by the Cranbrook Development Partners. Work is being co-ordinated between contractors to minimise disruption to the travelling public as much as possible.
The widening will create a westbound bus lane which will lead to the approach to the eastern access of Skypark. A footway and cycleway will be developed on the northern side of the road, which will connect to the new St Martin's Church of England Primary School and Nursery which is due to open at Cranbrook in September for children currently attending Clyst Honiton Primary School.
The upgrading of the B3174, which is expected to be completed by August, will be carried out in two phases. Temporary traffic signals will be used at times so motorists should expect some delays. The first phase will focus on the area from Cranbrook to just beyond the Station Road junction heading to Broadclyst. The second phase will then move west, continuing on the stretch which will join with the new bypass. Additional drainage and utility work will also be carried out at the same time.
Councillor Stuart Hughes, Devon County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transportation, said: "Developments in the Exeter and East Devon Growth Point are continuing apace and the area is really starting to take shape now. We have always maintained that it is absolutely vital that the infrastructure to the Growth Point, such as the award winning Redhayes bridge over the M5 and the ongoing improvements at Junction 29, are ready before the major developments are up and running. We're on target to achieve that and this widening will ensure that staff, parents and pupils at the new St Martin's Primary in Cranbrook will have the option of a safe walking and cycling route to school in time for its opening."
Councillor Peter Bowden, local County Councillor for Broadclyst and Whimple, said: "Some disruption will be unavoidable at times over the next few months, but every effort is being made to keep this to a minimum through fantastic co-operation of contractors and consortia. Nevertheless putting the infrastructure into place at such an early point in the development will prove to be hugely advantageous and ultimately a safe and proper way forward."
Mike Owen, on behalf of the Cranbrook Development Partners, (Hallam Land Management, Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon) said: "We are delighted to announce the start of bypass works and we are liaising closely with Devon County Council to ensure the traffic impact is kept to a minimum."
The Clyst Honiton bypass scheme will start work at each end of the route, on its link to the old A30 near Hayes Farm and at the airport roundabout at Pound Corner.

Mie Soa with Oyster Sauce Grilled Chicken, Shrimps, Napa Cabbage & Shimeji Mushrooms
I am not a big fan of beehoon (bihun/mai fan/rice noodle), but I am a huge fan of mie soa (min sin), it looks like beehon, but it is more...stretchy and softer. My mom doesn't really cook, but she makes really good simple mie soa with silk squash and a bit of broth. She always made me that dish when I get sick. I am not sick, but I miss the dish and decided to make a version of it with ingredients that I had in my fridge.
Oyster Sauce Grilled Chicken
- 1/2 - 1 chicken leg fillet per person
- Oyster sauce, sugar, pepper, oil
Preheat oven to 250C, rub the chicken fillet with oyster sauce, sugar, and pepper generously, add a dash of oil and rub well. Grill until the skin is golden brown and the meat is nicely cooked, set aside while preparing other ingredients
- 1 box of chicken stock (if you had homemade chicken stock, it'd be fantastic!)
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- a cup of shimeji mushrooms
- a cup of napa cabbage, chopped
- a cup of shrimps (optional, I added this just because I had it in my fridge)
- a bit of oil, pepper, sugar
Saute garlic with a bit of hot oil, add napa cabbage, add mushrooms, add chicken stock, bring to boil, add pepper and sugar if you wish, add shrimps only at the last step and only until it's just opaque.
Mie Soa
- allow 1/2 to 1 piece of mie soa per person
- Boiling water, salt
Dip mie soa into a pot of boiling water with salt on stove top, just until it's softened, shock with cold water if not consumed immediately. Place mie soa into bowls, add broth, mushrooms, veggie, shrimps and sliced grilled chicken and...

Many people consider the horror genre the lowliest form of cinema. Their inherent focus on death can be off-putting and as time has gone on, they have gotten more and more grotesque. To not enjoy the genre is, at this point, understandable. That's why, as a critic, I'm supposed to scoff at torture porn movies like Hostel and The Human Centipede. And I do. But one film I believe is unfairly lumped in with those films is Saw. The sequels are another matter (although some, like number six, at least manage to provide interesting commentary), but the first film was original and thought provoking and, contrary to popular belief, didn't concentrate on a large cast of no names getting mangled by overcomplicated contraptions. It was a tight psychological thriller with two skillfully developed main characters who became more nuanced as it went on (though it was by no means perfect). The duo behind that movie, Leigh Whannell and James Wan, have been on my radar ever since that film. They are a force to be reckoned with in the horror community, especially after their severely underrated 2007 film, Dead Silence. Their newest, Insidious, isn't quite as good as those two films, but given the state of horror these days, it's still worth a look.
Husband and wife Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai (Rose Byrne) have just moved into a new house. They haven't quite finished unpacking yet and their days are hectic. Josh works hard during the day while Renai tries to balance out the care of her three children with composing piano music. Suddenly, however, their oldest son Dalton (Ty Simpkins) sadly and unexplainably falls into a coma. Three months pass and he still isn't awake, but Renai is beginning to hear and see things in the house and she thinks his coma might have been brought on by something not of this realm.
Insidious is your typical haunted house story. Things go bump in the night, faint apparitions appear behind thinly veiled bed canopies and doors creak open and close. Those are only a few of the sub-genre's tried and true tricks the film borrows. It's most certainly not original, but it excels in a few key areas and manages to frighten on more than one occasion, particularly in the first act.
The opening scenes perfectly set the tone for the film and James Wan's visual style is eerie without being overbearing, employing black and white footage in the opening credits montage and canted camera angles to show that something is not right in the house. He has a visual eye for the macabre. Even when things seem normal, you get a sense something unseen is close by. It's an effect that is not easy to pull off, but Wan does it here.
These early moments promise a slow building ghost movie, similar to something like 1980's effective chiller, The Changeling, and this is when it works best. Ghosts are left hidden or at quick glimpses and its use of shadows keeps you on the edge of year seat, aware that something could be hidden beneath the shroud of darkness. It's about what you don't see, which makes it all the more frightening. Unfortunately, this tight, focused ghost movie becomes more and more ridiculous, and even occasionally laughable, as it goes on. The unsettling feeling present in the early scenes all but vanishes, leaving you only with predictable jump scares as it spirals down the same problematic pathway many horror movies do. As the ghosts become more prominent and the filmmakers put them front and center, it becomes decidedly less scary, stripping away whatever terrifying design your imagination has conjured up and replacing it with something that, frankly, looks kind of stupid.
Insidious, despite its many problems, is anchored by two terrific performances from two accomplished actors and it manages to redeem itself in the last ten minutes or so in a climax that mixes the dreamlike visuals of A Nightmare on Elm Street with the exploration of a survival horror video game like Silent Hill. In the end, Insidious squanders its opportunity to become a truly scary movie, but a few inspired moments and effective frights make it a fun diversion nonetheless.
Insidious receives 3/5

After more than a month with no mushrooms in our crate–and a few other projects absorbing our attention–we'd begun to despair about our experiment. But then, a few weeks ago, a couple of tiny little mushrooms began to poke their way out of the straw, and in just a week they'd blossomed into the gorgeous fungus you see below. We harvested them in two batches, and made three meals: homemade pasta with fiddleheads, mushrooms, and cream; simple sauteed mushrooms in butter with lemon and garlic; and omelets with mushrooms and the last of the spinach we over-wintered in the hoop house. Delicious! Even Karl, who's not normally a fungus fan, loved them.
Next step: soaking the crate of straw in cold water for a few hours to get another round. Our mushroom guru, who gave us the spores, says if all goes well we can expect another harvest (maybe even two), even larger than the first. Check back–we'll keep you posted!

I agree that if a site has a P3P statement that isn't really security information, and Internet filtering is all about being able to set the web so that certain websites can be filtered out from appearing (e.g. pornographic sites). The ANEC report calls for a standardization of the means for identifying and filtering content. In early implementations of P3P, if one set ones privacy preferences tightly and a website either didn't state their privacy statement in P3P or stated a privacy statement that was in conflict with the users privacy preferences, the site would not be able to be accessed. The connection as I understand it might lie in concepts such as Safe Web Browsing. There are a number of circumstances where the user might want to set up their web browser so that certain sites are blocked. They might want to block sites with offensive content, sites that do not practice a privacy policy consistent with what they want, and now sites that are not identifiable as well-known, often visited, trusted sites. There might be some desirability of handling these blocking/filtering in an analogous manner. If you agree with this interpretation and would like me to, I can add some words in the Safe Browsing write-up or anywhere else you might think appropriate in the document.

The Skeleton Diver is a boss in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. He is a master of water; works in partnership with a giant fish, and has killed countless humans.
The Skeleton Diver is a boss version of the Skeleton Spear. It is portrayed as the hunched-back skeletal remains of what appears to be a fisherman and is a master wielding the trident.
When Hector enters the boss room in Mortvia Aqueduct, he will be presented with a long bridge he must cross with the promise of a new Innocent Devil's room seen in the distance. While stepping on the middle part of the bridge, however, this will suddenly crumble, sending him down to a circular platform at the bottom of the room which is surrounded by water.
The Skeleton Diver will then make his dramatic appearance, riding on a gigantic skeletal fish and jumping high off of it to land over Hector, trying to impale him with his trident. When the battle properly starts, the player will immediately notice that it is not the best idea just trying to fight him head on, as his skillful combos will always give him the upper hand in a one-on-one fight. The hunch on his back, on the other hand, is his weak spot and if Hector manages to position himself behind him, the Diver will get staggered with each hit until he cowardly jumps back to the safety provided by the fish.
The fish won't just stare there while the fight goes on and it will in fact aid his master, becoming a major nuisance throughout the battle by performing two main attacks:
- It will come out of the water, perch itself on the shore and unleash a powerful laser beam which will cover most of the battlefield. The player should try to get to either of its sides (left side preferred) and attack the fish itself. All of this while also fending off the Diver's relentless attacks.
- The fish, this time ridden by the Diver, will emerge from the water and land on the ground. It will then start hopping on the surface, making its way to the other side while attempting to stomp on Hector.
While riding the fish, the Skeleton Diver will submerge underwater; after a moment, the fish will leap high from the water while the Diver on its top performs one of two attacks, either trying to land on Hector with his trident or throwing a set of fire-infused tridents vertically, which will impale on the floor and remain there for a brief period of time.
His last attack is riding the fish once more but this time circling around the arena while hurling tridents at Hector. This is a good opportunity to attack him. Hector must perform single or double quick steps to avoid the tridents and, at the same time, trying to position himself on the fish's path to attack the Diver while he passes in front of him. The sword- and hand axe-types' second combo (two normal attacks followed by a final attack) is recommended for this purpose, as it sends the weapon flying forward in a boomerang-like fashion which deals continuous hits.
Stealing guideEdit
When the fish emerges from the water and starts hopping on the ground, the Skeleton Diver (riding on its top) will open his stealing window. The player must carefully position in a spot on either side of the fish's path, anticipating its movements and leaving enough space to maneuver, lest they end up cornered; then jump and attempt to steal, taking care of not being knocked back while doing so.

Many small businesses don't really have time to think about marketing.
Most leads are generated through word of mouth. The small business works hard and slowly builds up a stable of clients. Those clients are the main source of new business.
It's a process that works, but if that small business ever wants more they have to look at different ways to get marketing leads.
Marketing Leads On A Small Budget
Word of mouth referrals are a byproduct or great products and great service.
When your clients are happy with what you provide they tell others. You can help a little bit to encourage the referrals, but for the most part it's out of your control in terms of marketing.
Referrals are simply a part of the business model. They're an extension of loyalty. You can do things to encourage it, but it will happen if you do a great job.
For the businesses that want to invest in marketing to get more than word of mouth business there are many options. But since many small businesses have small marketing budgets it makes the list of options smaller.
These companies look at marketing activities that may have a small monetary investment while having larger time investments.
So the investment and return ont hat investment becomes more about time that's put in more than the money that's put in.
There are a few examples of businesses that have succeeded recently with very little marketing funds while investing heavily in time and effort to get large monetary returns.
SEOmoz is one of the most transparent companies around today. They are a big time SEO software firm and it appears they're looking way beyond SEO to take their brand of business to other areas.
I loved their post from earlier this year that recapped their financials from 2012.
The quote that gives hope to all small businesses with a small marketing budget is this:
Not a believer in inbound marketing? If this data doesn't convince you, nothing will. The incredibly low percent of costs that go to attracting traffic and acquiring customers (on the "marketing" line – remember that SEOmoz has no sales team or costs) are a testament to SEOmoz drinking our own Kool-Aid, and investing in sources like content, organic search, social media, email, CRO, and word-of-mouth to spread our brand. It means we can invest much more in research, product, and data.
You can see that Marketing on their expenses for the year was 4% in 2011. The total dollars spent increased in 2012, but the spend on Marketing dropped to 3%.
In percentages, that's a pretty small marketing budget.
Rand started the SEOmoz blog I think around 2004. The success of the blog is easy to see now, but it took years to get to this point.
Rand is a strong believer in content and social media because he has seen first hand the power it has to bring in new business.
Copyblogger is now the second biggest WordPress business after the company that operate WordPress. Copyblogger does all kinds of things including themes, hosting and other services.
It started as a simple blog that helped people become better writers. It morphed into online publishing, which it still does today. Anyone that publishes online has likely read an article on Copyblogger.
So this now multi-million dollar a year company started with a simple blog that according to the website had a total investment of $1,000 (and a lot of time and effort).
It's a great story of success, but also a story of how modern marketing can benefit small businesses with small budgets that need marketing leads.
Content Marketing & Social Media
This whole content marketing thing is really about the sales process. It's early stage sales discovery where people discover a brand through content. The content has a few different areas of focus.
The first is to talk about the things the target client is asking online. This could be on search engines, social media and other online places.
That discovery is the very first association between a business and the client.
From there the content works to answer questions or objections. It's really about the content turning into the salesperson for your business, but your content and your website are always working. It's a 24/7 salesperson that can answer questions from anyone anywhere in the world.
As the target client reads through this content they realize that your business can solve a pain or need they are having and since they trust you as a result of all the information you've shared with them they hire you.
That's how modern marketing works. It's uses content and social media to make the connection, nurture the relationship and eventually to sell the client on your services.
If your target client is using the Internet and social media you have an opportunity to generate marketing leads with content. Your budget can be very small, but you will have take time to perform research, writing, formatting and promotion.
Money can make the process happen a little faster, but it simply takes time to generate a reputation as a brand that shares important information.
But as you develop that reputation you'll start getting more leads. Those leads will turn into more leads and over time your business will have this huge new source of new clients.
At that point you're in the same position as SEOmoz and Copyblogger.
And it will all have started with a small budget.

Trousers + cardigan// Topshop, Leather and suede clutch// homemade, coat + scarf + poloneck// thrifted, shoes// Dorothy Perkins
Using Fantasia screencaps poached from Stylebubble.
Hellooooo lovely readers. I hope you've had some time off for the holidays, and that you spent it wisely... Watching copious children's movies, playing charades and being force-fed decadent food, if you're anything like me. This is one outfit I wore for such an occasion.
The discrepancy between my serious face and the coquettish joy of the Fantasia screencaps I've used, is because it was only after I took the pictures, that I realised that the colours of my outfit HAD to be matched to the pretty pretty pictures.

The Geman Acupuncture Studies
Submitted by Robert Felt on October 1, 2007 - 2:40pm.
There has been considerable discussion and an unusual amount of press coverage covering the German studies of acupuncture and their conclusions. This links to an example article. This discussion is a good example of how long it takes for the medical establishment to pay attention to work done on acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Stephen Birch covered this issue in his Ph.D. thesis at Exeter University, and in Understanding Acupuncture, a text that has been used in medical schools for nearly a decade.
The quote most germane to the discussions that have insued follows:
Some people reading these studies have noted that the lack of significant difference between the 'real' and 'sham' arms of the trials implies that it does not matter where one inserts the needles and that thus the theories of acupuncture are unnecessary [Ernst 2004]. This is an invalid conclusion. In order to answer questions about site specificity, or the relative role of the sites at which the needles are inserted, it is necessary to apply the same techniques to both those sites and the control sites [Baecker et al. 2007, Birch 2003]. This was not done in these studies. Both the sites of needle insertion and types of needling varied.
The full article considers these studies and their problems in detail:
Reflections on the German Acupuncture studies
Stephen's work on the core problem of placebo related to acupuncture is also available:
A Review and Analysis of Placebo Treatments, Placebo Effects, and Placebo Controls in Trials of Medical Procedures When Sham Is Not Inert
It is very important to understand these issues when responding to the less-than-perceptive press coverage -- including the medical press -- of any clinical trial of acupuncture. Birch's conclusion to the "Review" article states it very well:
The assumption that a sham medical procedure is inert when it is not introduces bias against the medical procedure for which the sham is used as a control. It makes it difficult to find significant differences between the sham and real procedure. The common conclusion from trials of medical procedures that the procedure was no better than placebo is misleading to the reader and is inaccurate. In these studies the conclusion is either wrong, or it is not possible to show that it is correct, thus making many of these trials difficult if not impossible to interpret and reviews of these trials open to question. Trials of medical procedures should stop stating that they are "placebo-controlled" or that their sham procedure is a placebo procedure unless they can present evidence that their sham is in fact inert and have validated it is a placebo treatment.

At Home Stamping
Lisa Walsh, independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator
Friday, May 8, 2015
Golden Peacock
I've been away from stamping regularly these past couple of months. First, getting the house ready to sell, then keeping it ready to show meant a couldn't pull out every one of my papercrafting tools and leave them strewn about my desk top. Apparently I cannot get anything created unless I have every inch of my work space covered with paper, ink, ribbon, tools and usually one cat! Well, now that we have a buyer for our house and moving day is still about a month away (I don't have to pack a thing in a corporate relocation!) I'm determined to participate in a few more challenges. I wanted to make a card that is rather simple and quick, not a lot of layers, cutting or coloring. When I get back to Illinois I may want to start having classes again. I've learned from my past that I'll need at least one easy card per class or I'll have to ask people to bring their sleeping bags with them! This card was made for the Retro Sketches challenge found
STAMPS: Perfect Peacock, Lots of Thanks
INK: Gold Encore, Midnight Muse
PAPER: Pink Pirouette, Blackberry Bliss, Midnight Muse

What is retro? Wikipedia defines it as, "a culturally outdated or aged style, trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall postmodern past, that has since that time become functionally or superficially the norm once again. The use of "retro" style iconography and imagery interjected into post-modern art, advertising, mass media, etc." Although a useful resource, information from Wikipedia usually needs to be taken with a grain of salt. In this case however, the Wikipedia definition works fairly well as a general description.
It's hard to pin down exactly what retro means for specific art or objects. For computer games, retro can mean games from the 1980s and 1990s, retro art is often considered to be based on popular art from the 1960s or 1970s (but the bold styles of earlier years are often called retro too) and for kitchen appliances (including retro toasters). The bottom line is that retro means different things to different people.
For kitchen appliances, it is even more difficult to pin down. Since they are generally designed first for function and then for design, the design tends to be basically the same over the years. For example, the basic design of a toaster in the 1950s is very similar to a model released this year. The main differences (aside from some internal technology, such as computer chips, etc.) are in the colors used and shape of the covering. A notable exception is the replacement of the percolating coffee maker with the automatic drip coffee maker that occurred in the early 1970s.
The most common feature of retro style appliances these days (mainly toasters, blenders, mixers and percolators) are devices using knobs, dials and levers instead of digital displays and touch pads. The most common exterior is chrome or burnished steel, although white and pastel colors are also quite common. One notable exception to this that is sometimes encountered is bold dot or colored pattern designs that were popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s, although this is less common on retro kitchen appliances than other "retro" items.
Since retro toasters and other retro kitchen appliances tend to be stylish yet subdued, they can fit into nearly any kitchen decor, unlike some of the "modern" designs that almost require an entire remodel of the kitchen to fit in. In addition to being stylish, they are also economical and many companies are producing retro style appliances at very reasonable prices. So if you're looking to add a bit of style to your kitchen without spending a lot of money, retro toasters and other retro appliances are the way to go.

Actors that really annoy me to no end are those who play the same character over and over and show no range. I honestly have no idea how some of these people became such successful actors if they can only perform one character. But, then again, what do I know? I am just a young girl wasting her time writing a blog. This list includes in my opinion ten of the most type casted actors in Hollywood. Please let me know if you think I missed some.
10. Chris Rock: the quirky comedic relief who enjoys always playing a racial stereotype
8. Jackie Chan: The warrior fighting for honor who also can't speak English
7. Chuck Norris: the southern gentlemen who apparently can draw a square using only 3 lines.
6. Ashton Kutcher: The sexy idiot
5. Adam Sandler: The ugly idiot
4. Matthew McConaughey: The stud you never take seriously
3. Keanu Reeves: the quiet old soul no one can understand who stares off into the distance as if modeling for GQ
2. Samuel L Jackson: The mofo you never mess with. Ever.
1. Bruce Willis: The emotionally distant bad ass who shoots people to relieve stress

Volunteers in Medicine Selected to be featured by The PLAYERS Championship Again!
Volunteers in Medicine is extremely excited to be selected by The Players Championship as a featured charity in their 50-day countdown again!

The Players
On April 2, or the 36th day of the countdown, Volunteers in Medicine will be highlighted in the Florida Times-Union as well as through local radio and TV stations. Make sure to pick up your copy of the Times-Union and tune in. This is such a great opportunity to reach out to the community, especially those who are living without health insurance unaware that options are available in Jacksonville for working individuals to have free medical care.
Our program is so unique because 90% of all our services are volunteer based. This volunteer services model allows us to be able to provide $5 worth of all medical services, for every $1 donated. Our dedicated volunteers have donated over 200,000 hours time since our doors opened, assisting thousands of uninsured individuals.
We'd personally like to thank The Players Championship for selecting Volunteers in Medicine and for paying it forward to the Jacksonville Community. We are so excited that the community will become more aware of the Jacksonville charities and our causes due to your efforts!
