What would you do if you actually had to use everything you own, including all that stuff in the drawers, cupboards, closets, shelves and boxes in your kitchen, bedrooms, living room, basement, attic, garage, rafters, driveway, patio, side yard and cars?
Could we do it? It's not likely. Instead, we pack it, stack it and pile it away–even pay rent to store it–and keep accumulating even more. More stuff dilutes the quality of our lives.
Every possession carries two price tags: the original purchase price and the continuing toll. That second amount is paid in upkeep, time, maintenance and storage. It can charge its toll in anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, financial distress and even impaired function.
Moving and storing clutter. I've done it. Perhaps you have, too. I've packed it all up and paid someone to move it to a new place. "I'll sort it there," I told myself. Years later, I'm still hounded by unpacked boxes which I've moved from one house, one floor, one room or just one side of the closet to another.

We bought this chair for our 2 1/2 year-old daughter as her room transitions from nursery to "big girl" room. The colors are perfect for our decor. The chair was quick to assemble and should last her a long time. She is able to get into it easily, but it is also wide and sturdy enough to hold me (I'm not huge, but definitely much larger than a two-year-old!). Best of all, the price was comparable to much lower quality kids chairs that we saw in other stores.
Very nice chair for the price. It is perfect for little girl's room d�cor. Not an adult-size chair!!! The title of this chair should include the word - Child. I did read the reviews and description, so I knew exactly what type of chair I was getting. It is a perfect little chair for a little princess. It is light cream/white and daisies are different colors, so it would work in a lot of different color schemes for girl's room. It is very sturdy and all you have to do is attach the legs. Easy! I don't think you can find a chair like this in furniture stores at the price offered here. I think it is a good deal! Tufted detailing on the back of the chair. I am not sure how easy it is to clean this fabric, so I would recommend this chair for a child that is not too messy and keeps her room clean. Very cute and nice chair!
This product needs to be more specific in that it's a child's chair, not a full size chair. The pictures made it look like it fit an adult. Even if the dimensions were accurate I still think that kids or childs chair needed to be in the title. when we received it one of the leg holes was drilled poorly and we could not get the fourth leg to fit in. My husband had to take the chair apart, drill the hole correctly and put it back together again.
The chair is very tight and appears well made with no slop in the assembly. The 8 bolt, washer, and lock washers provided are more than adequate for locking the legs into place. The wrench included is pretty standard in this kind of set up, and I taped it on the frame of the chair to keep it handy in case the bolts needed tightening. The extra slip cover I found in the bottom of the box is so tight I'm not sure I will ever be able to use it though.

I use Voyageur kneeling pads that happen

As a primarily ww paddler, I prefer to have my knees located firmly in one place. Back in the 70s, I sometimes used strap on knee pads, but never found them satisfactory.

Talend, the global integration software leader, on Tuesday announced that 2012 marked a year of sustained growth and expansion in a market increasingly driven by the need to maximize the value of enterprise information assets. Providing Integration at Any Scale, Talend's integration solutions truly scale for any type of integration challenge, any volume of data, and any scope of project, no matter how simple or complex. Unifying data, application and business process integration, Talend dramatically accelerates time-to-value for businesses.
"We began 2012 with the ambitious goal to further democratize the integration market and to help organizations solve big data needs," said Bertrand Diard, CEO and co-founder of Talend. "Success was bolstered by our unique value proposition which, supported by a flexible and future-proof architecture, helps organizations of all sizes reap the rewards of the vast amounts of data they have collected over time. Talend's sustained growth in 2012 is a testament to the strength of our offering to the market, our technology, our ecosystem, and most importantly, our people. Together we enable integration at any scale."
Significant Market Penetration Growth
Talend saw significant increase in market penetration in 2012 with a 56 percent increase in recurring license revenue. It signed several large contracts in recent months – some in excess of one million dollars, including Talend's largest deal ever, closed in Europe – with numerous clients in industries ranging from government to entertainment, healthcare or retail.
Making Big Data a Reality for Any Organization
In its mission to make big data become a reality for all organizations, Talend focused extensively on solutions that make deploying and managing Apache Hadoop and related technologies simple, without requiring specific expertise in these areas.
- Talend Open Studio for Big Data – At February's Strata Conference, Talend announced Talend Open Studio for Big Data. This new product, based on Talend's award-winning Talend Open Studio technology, initially provided native support for HDFS, Pig, HBase, Sqoop and Hive and has since been extended to additional Hadoop components such as HCatalog or Oozie. By leveraging Hadoop's MapReduce architecture through native code generation for highly distributed data processing, Talend Open Studio for Big Data runs data transformations and data quality directly inside Hadoop for maximum scalability.
- Talend v5.1 – After introducing BPM as a piece of the holistic integration puzzle with version 5.0, Talend v5.1, announced in May, reinforced the links between BPM and ESB with a new connector that provides point-and-click connectivity between a business process and web service running on the ESB.
- Talend v5.2 – In October, Talend added big data profiling for Apache Hadoop to its next-generation integration platform, enabling organizations to analyze their data in the Hive database on Hadoop. Profiling is performed "in place", which means that data does not need to be extracted from Hadoop before being profiled. Instead, big data profiling leverages the power of the Hadoop cluster, allowing users to scale out with limit. With v5.2, Talend also introduced support for NoSQL by delivering a set of connectors for Cassandra, HBase and MongoDB.
Strategic Partnerships & Support
At the start of 2012, Talend launched its redesigned partner program, the Talend Alliance Program, to make it easier for organizations of all sizes to collaborate with Talend in bringing the benefits of data, application and process integration to their customers around the globe. Shortly thereafter, Hortonworks selected Talend Open Studio for Big Data to be bundled as part of Hortonworks Data Platform, simplifying the movement of data between Apache Hadoop and enterprise data systems and accelerating the adoption of Apache Hadoop. In May, Talend announced jointly with MapR the certification of Talend Open Studio for Big Data with MapR's Hadoop Distribution. Both announcements follow Talend's longstanding partnerships with Cloudera, Jaspersoft and EMC Greenplum, which means that Talend is now working with all leading commercial Hadoop distributions, in addition to supporting the native Apache Hadoop project.
In addition, Talend was selected by Google as a technology partner for Google BigQuery, making it easier for users of Google BigQuery to bring data from all the data sources Talend can connect to, into the Google Cloud Platform. With more than 450 native connectors to databases, files, applications, legacy sources – on premises or in the Cloud – Talend Open Studio for Big Data connects to any source or target.
U.S. Customs' "Talend Ruling"
In 2012, Talend received a favorable advisory ruling from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency around the government's ability to procure open source software. While the news is significant for Talend and offers an opportunity for the company to address needs in the U.S. Federal space, many software vendors – whether they are open source-based or not – are expected to benefit from the ruling as well.
Customer/Partner Event a Success
Talend customers and partners from around the globe attended this year's Talend Connect, the company's series of regional community, customer and partner conferences, held in Boston, Frankfurt, Paris and London. Talend received positive feedback from the informational sessions it provided as well as presentations led by industry luminaries such as Jeff Kelly, principal research contributor at Wikibon.org and contributing editor at SiliconANGLE and Matt Aslett, research manager at 451 Research.
Industry Awards & Recognition
Industry analysts and the media credited Talend in 2012 as a technology visionary with great promise for continued success and innovation, underscoring Talend's leadership position in the unified integration market:
- Recognized by Gartner, Inc. as a "Visionary" in four key reports – the "Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools" report, the "Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools" report, the "Magic Quadrant for Application Infrastructure for Systematic Application Integration Projects" report, and the "Magic Quadrant for Application Infrastructure for Systematic SOA Infrastructure Projects" report.
- Selected by Forrester Research as a "Leader" in the "The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise ETL, Q1 2012" report.
- Highlighted by Gartner, Inc. in the "Who's Who in Open-Source Data Quality (2012 Update)" report.
- Selected by InfoWorld as one of "7 Top Tools for Taming Big Data".

Sharon Budd Fundraiser – Tuesday, July 22nd
Support Needed for Perry Teacher Injured in Accident
Sharon Budd, pictured in the center of the front row, is a very special person in so many people's lives. She has the ability to befriend anyone and always does. Her smile, contageous laughter, and hilarious stories and jokes are enough to bring sunshine to anyone's day.
Sharon, her husband Randy, and her daughter Kaylee were driving to New York City on Thursday, July 10th when an unimaginable act of violence and stupidity was committed. Sharon was hit by a boulder thrown from an overpass while Kaylee was at the wheel. The boulder struck her in the face, causing severe damage.

Artificial Turf for the Football Stadium
An excerpt from the Canton Repository article, May2, 2014. The Perry Board of Education approved a $530,900 project to install artificial turf at Perry Stadium. It is expected to be completed in time for the Aug. 28 season opener against Massillon, meaning the nine biggest schools in Stark County will all play on fake grass this fall. "What I'm very adamant the public understands is that this project is going to decrease what we spend on our football facilities," Perry Superintendent Marty Bowe said. "What's been going on at Perry is we've been trying to make our grass field last as long as humanly possible, because the cost of turf has been dropping astronomically. When we saw it get below $500,000 last year, we knew if we could make it one more year, it would be a financially smart thing for us to install turf." The project will be paid for through district funds. The work will be handled by the Vasco Corp. — which will install the FieldTurf surface — along with Beaver Excavating and McBurney Concrete. All three of the companies involved — Vasco, Beaver and McBurney — are based in Perry. Read more: http://www.cantonrep.com/article/20140502/Sports/140509730#ixzz33IazuYQA
Art Club Creates Autism Mural
Students in Edison's Art Club having been working on a mural in the cafeteria of the school to improve the space. Last fall they began brainstorming and created a design that would eventually come to life on the walls. The mural depicts silhouettes of various students with bold splashes of color in the background. Lastly, a quote by Albert Einstein completes the piece, "When we all think alike no one thinks very much." Students also worked on a small mosaic for Austim Awareness month in April that will be showcased in the entryway of the school. We are proud of their work and dedication!

By Christine Tschiderer, Equal Justice Works Fellow
In October 2011, Doris Nohemi Garcia Hernandez was overjoyed to discover that she was pregnant with her second child. Unfortunately her supervisor at the fast food restaurant where she worked was less enthusiastic, and he began singling her out for harassment after he learned of her pregnancy. Unhappy with what he perceived to be excessive use of the bathroom and water breaks, Ms. Garcia's supervisor required her – and only her – to raise her hand and seek his permission each time that she needed to use the bathroom or get a drink of water. Subsequent to her termination for allegedly "not giving 100%" to her employer, the Washington Lawyers' Committee, along with co-counsel Arnold & Porter LLP, filed a complaint on Ms. Garcia's behalf for violations of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the District of Columbia Human Rights Act in April 2014. Both statutes unequivocally prohibit employers from singling out pregnant employees for poor treatment – much less terminating them – on the basis of their pregnancy.
The Washington Lawyers' Committee submitted testimony to the October 30, 2014 Joint Public Hearing on Sections 6, 7, 8, and 9 of B20-466, the "Marijuana Legalization and Regulation Act of 2013" before the Council of the District of Columbia Committees on Business, Consumer, and Regulatory Affairs and Committee on Finance and Revenue.

text: Fibromyalgia… F or act Ficti o n B y E r i k D a l t o n 60 M A S S A G E & B O DY WO R K • F E B R U A RY / M A R C H 2 0 0 6 ibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder for which the cause is still unknown. Ongoing investigations continue as medical and manual therapy offices are flooded with increasing numbers of reported fibromyalgia cases but, like the oft-quoted analogy of the blind man and the elephant, we currently know more about the components of FMS than we know about the "beast" as a whole. Now that rheumatologists have granted legitimacy by labeling and classifying this vague and controversial syndrome current beliefs regarding possible origins must be discussed. Fibromyalgia primarily manifests as pain in muscles, ligaments and tendons — the fibrous tissues in the body. FMS was originally termed fibrositis, implying the presence of muscle inflammation, but contemporary research proved that inflammation did not exist. Some in the complementary medical community believe that fibromyalgia should be a primary consideration in any client/patient presenting with musculoskeletal pain that is unrelated to a clearly defined anatomic lesion. Conversely, many researchers question the very existence of the syndrome since fibromyalgia sufferers typically test normal on laboratory and radiologic exams. For more than a century, medical science has continued to move forward in its ability to recognize, categorize, and name painful patient disorders. Technological advances have made it much easier for medical doctors to rule out specific maladies from a variety of symptoms presented in the clinical setting. Additionally, modern testing methods have allowed researchers to become more confident in their ability to determine what is and what is not a disorder or disease. However, this newfound confidence has created controversy F and debate over some disorders, which cannot be universally proven, even though the symptoms are undeniable. In recent years, many common diseases have been named and treatments discovered. This applies to mental health as well as physiological disorders. Today's society seems to be more open now than ever before to the possibility that to the cause and treatment of the disorder while a third group of researchers and medical practitioners reject the existence of fibromyalgia altogether.1 Simply put, one camp believes that FMS is a mental health issue without a biological origin. Whereas, the other camp is firmly convinced that it is a physiological disorder even though researchers Today's society seems to be more open now than ever before to the possibility that there exists mental and physical dysfunctions not yet recognizable through medical testing, but real just the same. there exists mental and physical dysfunctions not yet recognizable through medical testing, but real just the same. Part of this acceptance comes from mankind's history of disease discoveries. It was not so long ago that people with epilepsy were believed to be possessed by the devil. Today, it is an accepted disorder with known biological causes and medical treatment options. The historical fact that symptoms, dysfunctions, and diseases often appear long before researchers are able to devise reliable diagnostic testing procedures to identify and treat the malady makes it appear unreasonable that the existence of the condition would be doubted or debated … but this is the case with fibromyalgia. have yet to identify definitive diagnostic criteria. While each side squabbles over the fibromyalgia conundrum, thousands of Americans each year suffer diverse and sometimes disabling symptoms with little help coming from the medical and insurance industry. Meantime, the debate as to the true reality of the disorder carries on as scientific evidence continues to accumulate in favor of the physiological aspect of fibromyalgia. Currently, traditional and complementary medicine success rates in treating the disorder points to the fact that it is primarily a physiological condition with biological origins. In the face of the debate as to the origin of disorder, the American College of Rheumatology comprised a list of criteria for the purpose of classifying fibromyalgia. The list includes classic symptoms such as having a history of widespread pain for more than three previous months. The college went on to define a series of 18 checkpoints (tender points) for the pain sites Psychosomatic or Physiologic ibromyalgia has come under fire in many circles including medical, psychological, and manual therapy. There are two camps firmly divided on their beliefs as F F E B R U A RY / M A R C H 2 0 0 6 • M A S S A G E & B O DY WO R K 61 fibromyalgia (See Figure 1). A client is required to have pain in 11 or more of the 18 sites to be considered a true case of fibromyalgia.2 Since the symptoms are relatively simple to recognize, why the continued debate? Part of the trouble lies in the fact that the symptoms are sometimes vague and reminiscent of other musculoskeletal complaints. Confusing Symptoms rom the massage therapist's office to the traditional medical facility, clients/patients are presenting in increasing numbers with a variety of unexplained symptoms. However, there are definitely some shared symptom commonalities such as predictable tender points, extreme fatigue, poor sleeping patterns, and whole-body pain upon awakening. Regrettably, musculoskeletal pain research generally lags behind wellfunded scientific projects with possibilities for more lucrative outcomes. It often takes years to definitively Figure 1— American College of confirm and classify conditions Rheumatology's tender point list for with vague, widespread classifying fibromyalgia.

It is interesting that IBS is an accepted medical disease even though there is no concrete medical proof of its origin or existence. Yet IBS is widely accepted by the field of medicine while fibromyalgia is still under scrutiny. The reduced ability to concentrate as well as frequent bouts of depression also tops the fibromyalgia symptom list. Contrary to popular belief, many in the medical field do not believe MPS symptoms arise from taught myofascial trigger point bands, but instead from peripheral nerve pain at motor end plates.4 Much of the neurological literature today does not include the trigger point taut band theory as a recognized anatomical cause of entrapment neuropathy. Since the connective tissues of human peripheral nerves are well-innervated, some researchers believe peripheral nerve pain (aching, tingling, and numbing) best describes the symptoms occurring in many myofascial pain syndrome cases. MPS is said to result from hyperexcited chemoreceptors activated by inflamed, disorganized nerve ending bundles. Regardless of the outcome of the myofascial pain syndrome debate, the disorder still should be easy to identify during the evaluation process since the client's pain will be limited to a particular region (over time), often eliciting a referral pattern when digital pressure is applied. Although location does little to distinguish between MPS and fibromyalgic tender points (since they often occur in similar body areas), specific hands-on assessments help to clearly differentiate between myofascial pain and fibromyalgia (See Figure 3). Physical Examination areful examination reveals areas of pain on palpation but without the classic inflammatory signs of redness, swelling, and heat in the joints and soft tissues. Skill in palpating tender points is critical to establishing a correct assessment for fibromyalgia. Physical findings encountered during soft-tissue palpation include tender points, increased resting muscle tension, and tissue texture changes in the skin and subcutaneous fascia. When assessing the possibilities of fibromyalgia, it is important that other potential conditions be ruled out as well. The symptoms may mimic dysfunctions such as myofascial pain syndrome, peripheral neurogenic pain, medicinal toxicity, and some types of arthritis. Therefore, when presented with the possibility of a true fibromyalgia case, detailed assessment and history intake are of utmost importance. Since the most significant area of C Figure 3 — Therapist palpates suboccipital tender points with client sitting and standing to determine if pain is reduced while sitting. Pain reduction in seated position indicates possible pelvic imbalances initiating the myofascial/neurologic pain syndrome. Fibromyalgia tender points should remain unchanged in both the standing and sitting positions. pain tends to shift over time, the first step in assessing true fibromyalgia is to determine if similar functional/structural disorders are at play. Myofascial Pain or Fibromyalgia yofascial pain syndrome (MPS) emanating from hyperirritable trigger points is often confused with fibromyalgia. To complicate the situation, MPS may occur in clients suffering with fibromyalgia. However, a carefully conducted history intake and physical examination usually helps the therapist determine if the client is presenting with fibromyalgic symptoms, MPS, or both. While fibromyalgia pain is widespread with changing areas of emphasis, myofascial tender points are typically restricted to one spot, though the point may refer pain to other areas. M The Psychologic Debate Goes On s is the case with many disorders, fibromyalgia is attracted to one gender more than another. This agonizing condition is more pervasive in women with the most common onset between 25 and 50 years of age. Estimates of prevalence are 3.4 percent for women and 0.5 percent for men.5 It is estimated that 20 percent of the female population will end up in a rheumatologists' office. Women suffering fibromyalgia often report high levels of stress in their daily lives, which also contributes to the idea that it may have roots as a mental health disorder ¨ A Commonly Associated Symptoms of Fibromyalgia I I I I I I I I I I Chronic headaches Cognitive or memory impairment Dizziness or light headedness Fatigue Irritable bowel syndrome Jaw pain Muscle pain or morning stiffness Painful menstruation Skin and chemical sensitivities Sleep disorders 64 M A S S A G E & B O DY WO R K • F E B R U A RY / M A R C H 2 0 0 6 and not completely physiological in nature. Because the brain's emotional center (limbic system) is the highest cortical level regulating muscle tone, any alteration in limbic function may precipitate myofascial pain patterns. Psychologic disorders have been, and continue to be, researched to determine if a relationship exists with fibromyalgia. The disorders of depression, somatization, panic, and obsessive-compulsive behavior have been seen in some fibromyalgia clients. Depression occurs in about 20 percent of clients and may be the result of having to live with chronic pain. The debate is based on the belief that some think fibromyalgia is actually a mental health issue. There are those who believe it to be a subconscious attempt to avoid the stresses of daily life and work. Currently there is not a known physiological explanation for the widespread array of symptoms common to all sufferers of the disorder. It is because of the lack of a generally accepted physiologically-based explanation that it is often suggested to be a mental rather than a physical disorder. Fibromyalgic symptoms could also be caused by mental malfunctioning according Figure 4 — The vertebral artery is vulnerable to those who do not during head on neck extension and rotational believe it has a physiomovements as it is compressed against the logical basis.

Treatment Options ecause the symptoms of fibromyalgia wax and wane, treatment (as with that of other chronic diseases) should be considered an ongoing process rather than management of a single episode. Flare-ups often exacerbate the client's underlying stress. Furthermore, stress can also precipitate flare-ups of fibromyalgia. The first line of defense for relieving basic fibromyalgic symptoms should be body therapy and exercise. Although pain from this condition primarily manifests in specifically designated areas, the trained manual therapist refrains from "chasing the pain" and instead, seeks to restore whole body function by testing for ART: asymmetry; restriction of motion; and tissue texture abnormality. Postural evaluations using Vladimir Janda, M.D.'s Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes (see Figure 5) have proven extremely beneficial in identifying asymmetrical muscle imbalance patterns that exasperate fibromyalgic symptoms. Specific hands-on techniques that lengthen tight, neurologically facilitated muscles and tonify weak, inhibited muscles helps restore balance and symmetry while fighting off the compressive forces of gravity. Tissue texture abnormalities must be closely evaluated in clients presenting with fibromyalgic symptoms. Boggy, leathery, fibrotic, contractured, and spasmodic tissues are potential pain generators, with each requiring a uniquely different hands-on approach. Post-isometric relaxation routines such as those demonstrated in Figures 6 and 7 prove very beneficial in recovering lost range of motion to fibrotic spine related tissues such as joint capsules, ligaments, and paravertebral myofascia. Any deep tissue technique that calms central nervous B Figure 5 — Tender point therapy must be accompanied by postural corrections using Vladimir Janda's unique muscle-balancing formula. Following postural evaluation, specific deep tissue, assisted stretching, and myoskeletal routines help restore symmetry, strength, and pain-free range of motion. system hyperactivity and lowers sympathetic tone will greatly benefit those with fibromyalgia. While it is tempting for the client to relax and not move joints and muscles that are hurting, moving them is one of the best preventive and curative measures found so far to alleviate the painful symptoms. Traditional massage techniques are helpful in desensitizing hyperexcited cutaneous (skin and fascial) neuroreceptors. However, deep-tissue techniques that incorporate active client movements (enhancers) during the hands-on work add additional therapeutic power by calming pain generating articular (joint) receptors. Intrinsic muscles and joints are inseparable; what affects one always affects the other.
