Ben Toebbe
Massage Therapist, LMT, CNMT
"I am open to treating anyone with acute or chronic pain. The most common pain issues are low back and neck pain. I am trained to treat the body as a whole. While soft tissue is my primary focus, I also practice cranial decompression and organ massage. The patients I often treat have tried many avenues to solve their pain with minimal results. The muscle system is commonly overlooked. Locating active trigger points is the basis of what I do. I believe this work is primary, not alternative to health care!

Michael Dallas Jones
Massage Therapist, LMTNMT, BAPsych
"My name is Michael Jones and I am a neuromuscular massage therapist. I was severely injured in a bicycle accident in 1988 and was MISDIAGNOSED with an incurable condition with a 35-50 percent permanent disability. Later, I found my condition was from stressed soft tissues that would not respond to any type of therapy. I searched throughout the United States for answers and put together a way to resolve difficult cases, including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, documented by Dr.Leonard Knell, orthopedic surgeon. This also reverses signs of aging and allows full athletic potential. See web site for details.

|These are some pics I've drawn and some photo's I took =3
Hey guys! c:
Just thought I'd post a journal letting u guys know how things are going for me.
Quite a few things have been going on for me recently and well,it certainly isn't gonna be stopping here.
As some of u may know,I was in Denmark for 2 1/2 weeks (u may have read the journal that Malte posted previously when he decided to go on my DA and go through my things <w> xD )
Ever since coming back, I've just been trying to get used to being back home and getting back into routine.
I have been a little slow with projects and I really do apologise about that I wanted to get as many done as I could but I've had very little motivation recently since I pushed myself enough in college and I felt as if I needed a good break and well...I think some of u know how hard it is to go back to a project u were working on for so long and then leaving it for a while and it becomes hard to return to it.
They will be done,dont worry about that! It's just a matter of getting them done.
So what's going on with me atm?
If u read in one of my journals, I'll be moving into the dorms next week and starting my animation course! :3
So this is quite a big step for me and hopefully it'll be a good experience!
As I mentioned before,I will let u guys know as to what my schedule will be like then at least I can see how I can balance my time and see if I can work on my things occasionally although Im not gonna bet on it too much as of now.
Also,I wanted to get ur opinions on something o:
For a while now,I've been considering on making vlogs on a weekly basis or maybe short videos alongside with things I'll be doing on my course just to at least keep u guys updated as to what Im doing and well,just to keep u all entertained I guess? xD
Would u like to see me doing vlogs or do u think I should just not do it at all?
Let me know ur opinions in the comments below please! I would love to know!
Erm...that's really all I have to say as of now o:
I do apologise for being on the slow on finishing the commissions but I promise I will get to them!
Im just overwhelmed with the amount of things I have to do atm both for the internet and for University since I've been busy preparing for it for the past couple of weeks.
So keep a lookout for anything I post soon! c:
Till next time!

Book Description:
If Christians are in the workplace, then so is the church. In The Church In The Workplace, C. Peter Wagner explores how the role of the church in the work life of believers is just as much a ministry, a service to God and even worship, as what believers do on Sunday in their local churches. A further indispensable step toward activating faith at work is to understand clearly how the extended church operates through the nuclear church and how bridges can be built to join the two. Wagner does just this as he looks at the biblical perspective on work, the Holy Spirit's call to the church to bring about social transformation and worldwide examples of the role the church has already played in the workplace.

[0001] This is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. Pat. Ser. No. 09/349,011, filed Jul. 7, 1999, by the same inventors and entitled, "Crosslinked Cationic Microgels, Process for Making Same and Hair Care Compositions Therewith".
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] This invention relates to hydrogels, and, more particularly, to stable, aqueous, crosslinked cationic hydrogels which are effective viscosity modifiers and swelling agents, and can function as conditioners in anionic surfactant-containing shampoo formulations.
[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0005] Polymeric crosslinked polyacrylic acid thickeners have been used to modify the physical form, function and aesthetics of personal care formulations. However, such anionic hydrogels do not maintain their thickener action at a low pH; also they are not compatible in a cationic formulation.
[0006] Similarly, Aizawa, T. et al, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,338,815, described the preparation of fine particulate crosslinked N-vinylamide homo- and co-polymers, particularly poly-N-vinylformamide and poly-N-vinylacetamide, which had thickening properties; however, only in neutral water, (pH 6-8).
[0007] Other references of interest in this art are U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,321,110; 5,603,926; 5,663,258 and 5,684,105; Y. Zhong and P. Wolf, Hydrogel Prepared from Crosslinked Vinyl Pyrrolidone and Vinyl Acetate Copolymer, Polymer Reprints 1997,38 (2), p. 578; and Y. Zhong and P. Wolf, Swelling Properties of Crosslinked Vinylpyrrolidone Homopolymers and Vinylpyrrolidone/Vinyl Acetate Copolymers, Polymer Reprints 1998,39 (2), p. 461.
[0008] Accordingly, it is desired to provide a stable, aqueous crosslinked (XL) cationic hydrogel which is an effective viscosity modifier, and capable of adsorbing large amounts of water per weight of polymer, which is advantageous for hair thickening, conditioning and styling, in formulations having an anionic surfactant, across a wide pH range including low pHs.
[0009] These and other objects and features of the invention will be made apparent from the following description thereof.
[0010]FIG. 1 is a plot of viscosity in cps vs. pH adjusted with HCl for XL-PVP/DMAPMA cationic copolymer hydrogels of invention at a solids content of 1%, at various monomer ratios, the crosslinker being present in an amount of 0.2% by weight of monomers.
[0011]FIG. 2 is a plot of viscosity in cps vs. % VP in XL-PVP/DMAPMA cationic copolymer hydrogel at a solids content of 1%, crosslinker 0.20% by weight of monomers, at various pHs.
[0012]FIG. 3 shows curves of differential force combing (G) vs. distance (nm) along hair tresses for virgin hair treated with a control shampoo FIG. 3 (a), shampoo containing Polymer JR FIG. 3 (b), and shampoo containing the cationic hydrogel of this invention FIG. 3 (c).
[0013]FIG. 4 presents dry hair tresses after the combing experiment. The fibers were treated with shampoo containing the cationic hydrogels of this invention (Sample #1, Tress 1, Sample #2, Tress 2) and control shampoo without conditioning agents (Tress 3).
[0014] What is described herein is a stable, aqueous cationic hydrogel comprising, by weight, 1-50% of a crosslinked cationic copolymer which is a blend of 5-95% vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and 5-95% 3-dimethylaminopropyl(meth) acrylamide (DMAPMA) monomers, a crosslinking agent in an amount of 0.05-1% of said monomers, and water, said hydrogel having a pH of about 10 and a Brookfield viscosity of about 650 (Model DV-II+, RV spindle #3, speed 10 rpm). The hydrogel can be further characterized by its increased viscosity up to 40× at a pH of 3-9; as well as being capable of absorbing up to 200× its weight of water. A hair treatment formulation containing this hydrogel can effectively condition hair even in the presence of an anionic surfactant.
[0015] In the preferred forms of the invention, the crosslinking agent is present in an amount of 0.1-0.5%, most preferably 0.2%; and the copolymer comprises 50-65% VP and 35-50% DMAPMA.
[0016] Preferably, also, the cationic hydrogel contains 5-20% of said copolymer; and in personal care formulations, 1-5%.
[0017] The cationic hydrogel of the invention, at a pH of 3-9, preferably 4-8, is useful as a viscosity modifier or swelling agent.
[0018] Personal care formulations of the invention include hair treatment compositions including about 0.01-5% by weight of the cationic hydrogel, and an anionic surfactant, for conditioning, styling and cleansing action.
[0019] The cationic hydrogel of the invention is made by an aqueous solution polymerization process. The process comprises forming a mixture of, by weight, 1-50% of a blend of 5-95% VP and 5-95% DMAPMA monomers, 0.1-0.5% crosslinker, water and initiator, polymerizing the mixture with agitation at a temperature of about 60° C. for about 1˝ hours, then heating at 85° C. to complete the polymerization, and, if necessary adding water periodically to reduce the solids content of the product, and, optionally, homogenizing the resulting hydrogel product.
[0020] The composition of the XL-PVP/DMAPMA copolymer of the cationic hydrogel comprises, by weight:
[0021] During the polymerization reaction, the crosslinker level suitably is about 0.01-5%, preferably about 0.1-2%, and optimally about 0.2%, based on the total weight of monomers.
[0022] Suitable crosslinkers include pentaerythritol triallyl ether (PTE) and methylene-bis-acrylamide (BIS).
[0023] During the polymerization reaction, the total initial monomer level suitably is about 1-50%, preferably about 5-40%, and optimally about 15-30%.
[0024] Suitable initiators for the polymerization reaction include tertiary butyl peroxy pivalate (Lupersol® 11) and tertiary amyl peroxy pivalate (Lupersol®554).
[0025] The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the following examples.
[0026] Monomers: VP: (International Specialty Products). DMAPMA: (Rohm America). Crosslinkers: Pentaerythritol triallyl ether (PTE), HOCH2—C(—CH2—O—CH2—CH=CH2)3 and methylene-bis-acrylamide (BIS), (Aldrich). Initiators: tertiary butyl peroxy pivalate (Lupersol® 11) and tertiary amyl peroxy pivalate (Lupersol® 554), (Lucidol). Solvent: Deionized water. Non-solvent: Heptane, (Aldrich).
[0027] The optimized reaction cycling time is very short (1.5 hours at 60° C. and 4 hours at 85° C.). The process includes the steps of:
[0028] (1) Clean, dry, and tare a 1-liter glass resin reaction flask.
[0029] (2) Install the reactor with agitator, heating mantle, condenser, thermocouple, septum for initiator addition, and nitrogen purging.
[0030] (3) Add part of water solvent, all VP monomer, all DMAPMA monomer, all the BIS crosslinker, and all the Lupersol® 11 initiator, into the reactor.
[0031] The VP/DMAPMA ratio will vary depending on the kind of hydrogel to be made. A preferred initial concentration of VP and DMAPMA in the system is 20% by weight. The preferred weight ratio of crosslinker to VP and DMAPMA is 0.20%. The preferred weight ratio of Lupersol® 11 to VP and DMAPMA is 1.10%.
[0032] (4) At room temperature, start a purge with nitrogen until the reaction is complete.
[0033] (5) Raise the temperature to 60° C. and maintain for 1.5 hours.
[0034] (6) During the 60° C. period, when gelation occurs and the system is too viscous to agitate, add water to dilute the system from 20% to 10% solids.
[0035] (7) Raise the temperature to 85° C. and maintain for 4 hours to reduce the residual monomer level.
[0036] (8) When reaching 85° C., directly inject Lupersol® 554 hourly through the syringe and rubber septum on the top of reactor into the reaction mixture. Four (4) additions of Lupersol® 554 as booster are sufficient to reduce the residual monomer to acceptable levels.
[0037] (9) During the 85° C. heating period, when the system is too viscous to agitate, all water to further dilute the system from 10% to 7.5% solids.
[0038] (10) When the reaction is complete, cool the system to room temperature, and transfer the product into a large beaker.
[0039] (11) A Ross Homogenizer is used to break up the gel. Addition of water to further dilute the system to 5% solids is used to enable the product to flow in and out of the homogenizer.
[0040] Brookfield Viscosity Measurements
[0041] The viscosity of aqueous copolymer solutions were measured with a Brookfield Digital Viscometer.
[0042] The XL-PVP/DMAPMA copolymer hydrogels of the invention have a low viscosity at high pH, where the amines are essentially uncharged. However, upon addition of a suitable acid, the pH drops and positive charges are generated on the polymer side chains as the amine monomer is protonated. The repulsion forces developed between these positive charges causes the polymer to swell, enabling the cationic hydrogel to be used effectively as a thickener at a low pH.
[0043] Swelling Volume Measurements
[0044] A 1% (w/v) aqueous solution was stoppered in a 100 ml graduated cylinder and allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 days. The volume attained by the gel was recorded as the swelling volume with the units of ml/g.
[0045] The cationic hydrogel of this invention shows an extremely high capacity for adsorbed water. For example, 0.01 g of dry XL-PVP/DMAPMA adsorbs 1.7 grams of deionized water, which is 170 times its weight.
[0046] Part A (% By Weight)
[0047] 15 Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (Standapol® A, Henkel Corporation)
[0048] 15 Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (Rhodaon® SB-8208/S, Rhône Poulenc)
[0049] 8 Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Mirtaine® CB, Rhône Poulenc)
[0050] 2 Lauramide DEA (Monamid® 716, Mona Industries)
[0051] Part B (% By weight)
[0052] 1 Cationic hydrogel of Invention as Conditioning Additive 58.8 Deionized H2O
[0053] Part C (% By Weight)
[0054] 0.2 Diazolidinyl Urea/lodopropynyl Butylcarbamate (Germall® Plus, ISP)
[0055] Instructions
[0056] Heat Part A to 60° C. with moderately slow stirring for approximately ˝ hour or until solution becomes transparent. At the same time, heat Part B to 55° C. while stirring until homogeneous solution is obtained. Add Part B to Part A while continuously stirring. Remove temperature source. Once the resulting solution has reached 45° C., add Part C. Continue to stir (slowly) until the target solution has cooled to an ambient temperature.
[0057]FIG. 1 shows the effect of pH on viscosity of various cationic hydrogels of invention. The results show a remarkable increase in viscosity at pH 3-9, reaching a maximum at pH 4-8, and with VP content of 35-50%.
[0058]FIG. 2 shows a similar effect as viscosity at various pHs and VP content.
[0059] These combing curves for control and Polymer JR shampoo in FIGS. 3 (a) and (b) show two maxima at about 40 and 85 nm. In contrast, hair treated with a shampoo containing the cationic hydrogel of this invention, FIG. 3 (c), shows two minima in the same positions. Thus, this data demonstrates the conditioning effect of the cationic hydrogel of this invention when applied from a shampoo base.
[0060] As shown in FIG. 4 in the case of hair treated with shampoos containing the cationic hydrogels of this invention (Tresses 1 and 2), the fibers are glued together in the treated areas, with the effect particularly strong for Sample #1 polymer (Tress #1). This demonstrates the styling effect of the cationic hydrogel.
[0061] Effective hair care compositions can be made with the crosslinked cationic hydrogel of the invention. In such formulations, the crosslinked hydrogel dispersion provides relatively thick and lubricious layers on the surface of hair. Unlike linear, uncrosslinked cationic polymers, which lay flat on the hair surface, the swollen hydrogel particles of the crosslinked copolymer forms thick deposits which significantly modify the surface properties of hair.
[0062] The invention copolymer also can be used effectively in anionic surfactant-based shampoo compositions which ordinarily do not provide a favorable medium for deposition of linear cationic polymers or surfactants. The XL-PVP/DMAPMA copolymer, in contrast, when used, for example, as a 1 % solution, provides excellent conditioning as evidenced by wet and dry combing evaluations. Specifically, shampoo compositions containing 0.5% copolymer showed a significantly better conditioning performance than linear cationic polymers such as Styleze® CC-10 or Polymer JR® 400. In addition, the deposited copolymer layer from the hydrogel of the invention also provides links between fibers after drying, thus resulting in a styling or fixative effect, which remains intact even after repeated rinsing with water after shampooing.
[0063] Conditioning and styling properties on hair can also be obtained with cationic hydrogels of the following copolymers:
[0064] XL-acrylamide/DMAPMA, XL-poly(vinyl caprolactam) (PVCL)/DMAPMA and XL-acrylamide/dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA).
[0065] While the invention has been described with particular reference to certain embodiments thereof, it will be understood that changes and modifications may be made which are within the skill of the art. Accordingly, it is intended to be bound only by the following claims, in which:

Will Eliot Spitzer Return to TV Punditry? Will Anthony Weiner Join Him?
You may have heard by now that former CNN and Current TV host Eliot Spitzer, who resigned as New York governor after a prostitution scandal, and Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress after a sexting scandal both lost their bids for a return to elected office. Spitzer lost his primary race for New York City Comptroller, 52% to 48%.
Meanwhile, Weiner came in fifth in the democratic primary for New York City Mayor, garnering 5% of the vote. As he left the political stage for the second time last night, Weiner had a message for the media. As TVSpy reports he gave the finger to a producer from WNBC.
Will the next stop for these two former politicians be TV punditry? Which network would hire them?

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

By Ashley Zimmerman
Uh-oh. TVT's collection of Southern thug rappers is pretty much -- to borrow a phrase from actress Lindsay Lohan -- completely retarded. The Dirty South's incarnation of gangsta rap doesn't hold a candle to the West Coast's industry-shaking forebears like 'Pac and Eazy. Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz, Atlanta's self-professed Kings of Crunk, show up with the stupidest testosterone-soaked track on here, "Bia' Bia' 2": "Nigga what you lookin' at/Nigga what you lookin' at/Nigga... what you wanna do, what you wanna do/Well nigga fuck you, fuck you, fuck you..." 'Nuff said. Miami's Trick Daddy, the only other big name on the comp, comes with "Shut Up," which has a more interesting bass line than most of the sparse production on the album but is weighed down by more illiterate, ignorant rhymes -- Bill Cosby needs to sit these guys down and tell 'em what time it is. If you're one of those dudes who feels the need to compensate for your, uh, shortcomings with aggro, nut-grabbing, monosyllabic thug thumps, Crunk Classics will fit right into your collection. Shit, you can have my copy. -- Brendan Joel Kelly

San Diego forward John Sinis signs professional contract
Sep 4, 2013, 6:57 PM EST
In two seasons at the University of San Diego, 6-9 forward John Sinis averaged 4.1 points and 2.7 rebounds per game for a program that has the look of a team primed to make a move in the WCC this season. Sinis won't be around to see if a team led by guard Christopher Anderson and Johnny Dee can make good on that promise however, as it was announced by the school on Wednesday that the native of Greece has signed a professional contract with Greek club AGO Rethimno.
"After long consideration I made the difficult decision to leave my studies and college basketball to pursue my life's goal and start my professional career," Sinis said in the release. "I would like to thank USD from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity to fulfill one of my dreams to play basketball in the NCAA, develop as a player and to be part of such a prestigious university like USD."
Obviously the timing isn't great if you're San Diego, and head coach Bill Grier pointed out as much in the release. With leading rebounder Chris Manresa having graduated it was likely that Sinis would have been asked to do more in his junior season, and the same goes for sophomore Jito Kok (3.2 ppg, 3.2 rpg) and senior Dennis Kramer (4.2, 2.7). However it should be noted that Sinis spent a large portion of his time offensively on the perimeter, with 70 of his 118 shot attempts last season coming from beyond the arc. In his two seasons at USD 57.5% of Sinis' shot attempts were three-pointers.
Losing a player at this point in the school year, while not ideal, does give coach Grier and his staff some time to figure out how much their rotation will be impacted before practices begin. But with the likes of Anderson and Dee back on campus, San Diego will be fine in 2013-14.
"It was always a goal of John's to play at the highest level professionally in his home country," Grier said in the release. "Obviously the timing isn't great but I don't know if there ever is good timing when you lose a player. His departure doesn't change the top 8-9 players in our rotation, nor our excitement for the upcoming season. We wish John well as he starts a new phase in his career."

CHICAGO – "Drinking Buddies" director Joe Swanberg's latest release of the same star wattage is "Happy Christmas," an even lower-fi story than the Olivia Wilde beer comedy, steered even more by the casting that it was able to assemble. However, with this movie Swanberg doesn't so much worry about having a story that could be confused with a more mainstream romantic comedy if it were to have a bigger budget.

I worked at Populus Group as a contractor (more than an year)Pros

Met new people at the contracting company that were able to assist with networking.Cons
Lower than average pay because Populus takes a large cut from the company you are working for.
Very little notice that your contract is up.
Very little notice that your contract is extended.
The young HR person was very Unorganized with on-loading, forms, benefits, etc and not very knowledgable.
Inexperienced HR contacts errored on my benefits sign up multiple occasions.
Unprofessional communication with my contact at Populus Group.
I feel like most employees there are treated poorly as if their only position there is to make Populus money. They simply don't respond unless they are forced to.
Received my last paycheck late. I had to email my contact there on 5 occasions to get paid.Advice to ManagementAdvice
