Auriculotherapy Excerpts of Letters and Papers
(Full writings available from Jim Shores)
Published in the Journal Pain 1980
Forty patients were medically examined to determine areas of their body where there was musculoskeletal pain. Each patient was then draped with a sheet to conceal any physical medical problems. The physician conducting the auricular diagnosis had no prior knowledge of the patient's medical condition, but simply examined the patient's ear for areas of elevated skin conductivity or tenderness. The concordance between the established medical diagnosis and the auricular diagnosis was 75.2%.
-Terrence D. Oleson,
Richard J. Kroening, and David E. Bresler, UCLA School of Medicine
The most well-kept secret in medicine
Letter to Ms. Higgins (Senior Editor of Medical World News)
I am a Board of Certified anesthesiologist practicing in the MD/Wash. D.C. area. I have successfully treated problems such as back pain, migraine headache, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, dermatitis, symptoms of cold and flu, tinnitus, muscle spasm, and countless other ailments. What is truly amazing, however, is the lack of knowledge about this technique by the vast majority of the practicing medical community (in spite of the best efforts of many auriculotherapists to spread the word).
-Bruce Rind, M.D., D.A.B.A. Pain Management
Lackland AFB San Antonio
4. RESULTS: There were 34 patient treatments with a one hundred percent success rate. Long term efficacy of auriculotherapy was not observed during this short three-day workshop. Twenty-seven dental staff and residents completed this workshop and will receive supporting documentation from Colonel Niemtzow recognizing this credential.
Headaches Relieved
MRI's, EEG's and other sophisticated diagnostic tests yielded no clue to the cause of her headaches. She had been to several premiere diagnostic institutions, including the Mayo clinic in Minnesota. She had been advised along the way to consider having exploratory brain surgery. She did not follow through with this suggestion. Anyway, 20 minute treatment with the Stirn-Flex stopped the headaches for 2 weeks.

Withstanding the test of time
Excerpts of letters and papers to Jim Shores using the Stim Flex
"Previous research at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) demonstrated statistically accurate diagnosis
of the location of musculoskeletal problems solely through the use of auricular diagnosis. Moreover, a plethora of clinical
studies have demonstrated the efficacy of auriculotherapy for the treatment of such disorders as headaches, back pain,
smoking, obesity, narcotic addiction, and "alcoholism."

To Mr. Higgins (Senior editor of Medical World News). Dating Auriculotherapy)
"I just wanted to drop you a few lines regarding auriculotherapy. It's difficult to talk about auriculotherapy without sounding like one is grossly exaggerating. This is, however, one of those cases where the truth is stranger than fiction. P.S. You can title this letter The Most Well-Kept Secret in Medicine
-Bruce Rind, M.D. Full page letter (August 15,1989)
"I can't tell you how exciting it is to get up and go to work each day. After 15 years of chiropractic practice, I pretty
much knew which musculoskeletal could get better and was also discouraged by the 20% or more that would need "lifetime
treatment" for their chronic pain. Now, with auriculotherapy, I'm able to get rid of pain that people have been living with
from 1-30 years."
-Steve Canion, DC, (2004)
Using their ears may help women ease discomfort of hot flashes
"Today, after three treatments of auricular therapy -something like ear acupuncture but using mild electrical currents- Adams rarely has a flash."
-Maureen Bashaw (News-Press article, November 18,1996)
"For over fourteen years, I have done more than 90% of my work with auriculotherapy. lt is unnecessary for
the patient to disrobe for treatment, since the whole body is accessible through the acupuncture points in the outer ear.
Treatment time is significantly less than acupuncture needles, taking less time out of the patient's busy day and enabling me
to help more people during my treatment schedule. Often, insurance policies cover electrical simulation when they might
not cover acupuncture. I feel very blessed to be able to be able to spend my days helping people restore the quality of their
lives with the Stim Flex and auriculotherapy. I am grateful for the tireless dedication of you and Dr. Oleson to alleviate
human suffering in this manner. You have changed my life and the lives of those I am able to help through this wonderful
-James Maguire, D.Ac., Dipl. Ac. (January 15,2005)
"Dear Dr. Shores, I lost my hearing after being shelled in Vietnam. I started to lose my hearing again at the age of
42 with slight tinnitus. I lost hearing in my left ear completely but the tinnitus continued. I was forced to wear a hearing aid
in my right ear and/or read lips. I am very pleased to report, that since being treated with auriculotherapy, my tinnitus is
completely gone after just two treatments. I have regained hearing in my left ear, and the hearing in my right ear has
improved after twenty-two years."

DUBAI - Facing pressures from family members after their conversion and public opposition to their dress, a new study is looking into challenges facing new Muslim converts in Britain.
I was born and brought into a Catholic family of 10 children. I chose to accept Islam, Mary Batool Al Toma, a Muslim convert, told a symposium at the American University of Sharjah on Sunday, March 10, reported 7Days in Dubai website.How I was treated at that time was extremely painful to the point where my mother, just a few days before she passed away, when she was dying of cancer, put her arms around me and I could feel her squeezing the life out of me as she apologized to me for the way that the family had treated me during the time of my conversion.
Islam Fastest-Growing Religion in Britain
UK Sisters Face the Challenges of Conversion
The event saw the launch of a report into challenges facing new Muslim converts in Britain.
Themed Narratives of Conversion to Islam in Britain - Female Perspectives, the study highlighted cultural pressures facing new Muslims in Britain and the lack of support for them.
We have endeavored to describe the experience of women converts to Islam in contemporary British society, Professor Yasir Suleiman, founding director of the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center of Islamic Studies at University of Cambridge, told Zawya Emirati website.
The relationship between the convert and the heritage Muslim communities and wider society is explored with reference to their political, social and religious contexts.
The study, co-prepared by AUS and University of Cambridge in association with The New Muslims Project, looks into challenges facing new Muslim converts from family pressures to issues as hijab, marriage, divorce, polygamy, domestic violence and mosque provisions for female converts.
It also sheds light on challenges facing children of convert mothers and the role new Muslims play as bridges between Muslims and non-Muslims in British society.
The question of dress, the hijab is an important one, Professor Suleiman said.
I think there is a difference between wearing the hijab and being worn' by the hijab. Not every convert wears the hijab. It depends on how you feel about the faith and the culture you live in.
Locality is a factor. If you live in a small town, initially it's harder to wear the hijab than if you live in London, because you can just disappear in London.
The report also highlights that the issue of identity stands as a major challenges for new Muslims in Britain.
For many converts identity is a fluid and continuous process of self-evaluation and re-evaluation, aligned with the possibility of arriving at a comfortable sense of Self, said professor Suleiman.
Perceptions of identity change or evolve as converts develop their own understanding of their faith.
The report has won plaudits for portraying a realistic picture of women converts in Britain.
The report shows the need to help converts integrate into Muslim society, in order to enable them play a positive role, said Nawar Golley, Associate Professor in Literary Theory and Women's Studies at AUS and panel moderator.
Britain is home to a sizable Muslim minority of nearly 2.5 million.
The majority of the multi-ethnic minority has Indian, Bengali and Pakistani backgrounds.
The 2011 census showed that the proportion of Muslims rose from 3.0 percent to 4.8 percent, becoming the fastest growing faith in Britain.
In 2011, think tank Demo found that Muslims in the United Kingdom are more patriotic than the rest of population.Responding to the statement I am proud to be a British citizen, 83% of Muslims said they are proud of being British.

The course will provide an overview of the cultural, political, and economic realities of Chile's history and the impact on the current state. In doing so, students will study Chile's indigenous populations and wide cultural (and artistic) diversity. Students will review the 250 years of Spanish domination and engage in a focused study of modern Chilean politics from the rule of Salvador Allende in 1970 to the present day. Finally, students will explore how the economies of the three main regions of Chile (North, Central and South) are linked to their geographical and cultural contrasts.

It was a stressful Monday, so when my coworker offered to pick up lunch from a fast food chain that shall remain unnamed, I accepted (and guiltily slid my homemade soup back into the fridge). Not a wise decision. Rescue me white tea!
This is like the soft-spoken cousin of the jasmine dragon pearls green tea. I found the jasmine flavor a lot milder in this tea, and extremely well balanced with the white tea. You can taste the jasmine first, followed by the sweetness and delicate hay-like flavor of the silver needles. As much as I enjoyed the dragon pearls, I think I prefer the softer jasmine flavor of this one. Thanks Teavivre, from me and my tummy.

ive heard at disney (not sure which park) that at the pirates of the caribbean and the haunted mansion that they both have ghosts. at one of the pirates there is a ghost called "george" and ive heard both mansions have ghosts. anyone know of more?
First, Welcome!
As far as ghosts....we all know there are 999 in the Haunted Mansion ride!! :hahohi:
Just kidding. I have heard that rumor before and I know some CM's have discussed it, but there are a few current and former CM's on this site, maybe they will have some more info on it.
Ghosts stories and the supernatural in general totally fascinates me, so I'm always on the look out for a good story...whether real or not. There are a lot of "ghost" stories surrounding the HM. If you have not already, you can start here: http://www.doombuggies.com/myths.htm
BTW, welcome to DWT. I'm currently using the ultima keyblade in my second run through of Kingdom Hearts. It's always fun after you get through the game to do it a gain from the start...but with a good weapon. ;)
i dont have the ultima weopon yet :cry: but i almost do, kinda. lol. i cant wait for kingdom hearts 2.
I believe the POTC ghost is callled 'George', and I heard that if CMs do not say 'good morning' to him at the beginning of the day, the ride will go 101 at some point during the day.
which park is george at?
Magic Kingdom
HM has George as well.
I've never heard about that. I might ask a CM sometime at the attractions. Well, I may not ask them at the HM because they would probably just stare at me.
They would probably just stare at you anyway :lol:Quote:

awesome link for the ghost hunter in you.
That's a great link, Tampa. Some creepy photos in the galleries too...
Theres another discussion going on about "George" and a bunch more at another discussion board (intercot).
ya I must have been checking it for like 3 years now.. it's a keeper.Quote:

In my life as a music fan, I've owned and used LPs, 45s (and even a few 78s), 8-track cartridges, cassette tapes, CDs, and now MP3 files loaded onto an iPod. The music industry continues to change and these shifts mean more than the fact that we seem to buy music in a new format every five to ten years. The transformed music industry means that musicians and music-focused entrepreneurs face a completely new artistic and business environment. Yet, many of them are ill-prepared for the new marketplace. In an effort to better understand the entrepreneurial demands of the music business, representatives of the top US music training institutions will convene this week at the Eastman School of Music (based in Rochester, NY) to discuss how they can infuse entrepreneurship education into the training of future musicians. The program, the Eastman School of Music Institute for Music Leadership Symposium, will examine how to better link the academic and professional worlds, and how to best tap into the inherent creativity and innovation found among top music students.

Deuce Brand G2 Basic Watch
Its extremely hard to set! Either that, or I received a broken watch! I have read the directions and tried several different times at trying to set it. Nothing. I don't know if we can exchange it and see if it was just bad or just a crappy watch! Highly disappointed with this product!

I would like to see a future version of this model with an extended cockpit. Maybe longer the Aurora model 92 inches, but with the same weight, or a little less, as the Keowee III. We could maybe then get a slightly larger child in it. Also, with a beam a little less than the 33 inches which makes paddling single a little less convenient.

Start this journey from Brisbane and head north to Kallangur. The Strathpine Memorial Gates, situated on Anzac Avenue, frame entrance to the North Leagues and Services Club where the original honour board is kept. Travel through Anzac Avenue's memorial trees to Redcliffe. Return to the Bruce Highway (M1) to the base of the Glasshouse Mountains and on to Beerburrum, the first Soldier Settlement town established in Queensland. Beerburrum's Memorial Trees commemorate the loss of friends of the early residents.
... moreDrive along the Bruce Highway to Eumundi where another avenue of memorial trees graces the main street and provides shade for visitors to the town's famous markets.
Gympie Memorial Park and Gates provide a further welcome break on the highway as you travel north, before arriving at the heritage town of Maryborough and visiting its spectacular 'winged victory' memorial in Queens Park.
A number of smaller towns further north include Howard, Apple Tree Creek and Brooweena. All have an interesting array of soldier statue memorials. There is an option to visit a memorial bridge to the south of Brooweena and return to Gympie, or link with another WWI Memorial Journey through the South Burnett Region via Ma Ma Creek to Gayndah.

Distance | 442 Kilometres | Itinerary Route | One Way |
Mode of Travel | Car | Level of Difficulty | Unrated |
Travel north from Brisbane on either Gympie Road or the M1 to Kallangur. The grounds of the North Leagues and Services Club on Anzac Avenue feature a number of memorials, including memorial gates relocated from the old Lawnton Showgrounds. The attractive memorial gardens include two trophy guns and memorials to battles subsequent to WWI. The WWI Honour Board is located in the foyer of the original RSL building within the grounds.
Continue along Anzac Avenue to Redcliffe. Anzac Avenue was a post war construction project employing returned servicemen. Trees planted along the road commemorate those who served. The first two Cocos palms were planted in front of the North Pine School of Arts in February 1925 by the Governor, Sir Matthew Nathan. In July 1926, the first tree on the northern side was a hoop pine planted by the Governor General. By 1933, 2,000 trees had been planted on Anzac Avenue.
Take a break for coffee in Redcliffe and perhaps visit the museum before heading back along Anzac Avenue to Deception Bay Road. Travel this road until it converges with the M1 and continue on to the Glasshouse Mountains. Turn left onto Steve Irwin Way to Beerburrum.
An interpretation panel on the median strip of Anzac Avenue Beerburrum describes the history of the memorial avenue of trees, planted in 1920 honouring fallen WWI soldiers. Beerburrum was the centre of Queensland's first Soldier Settlement, designed to give a secure future to returned servicemen and their families. Farming properties were allocated by ballot and the government built the town to service the farms.
Travel along Steve Irwin Way towards Landsborough and take the road up the range towards Maleny. Shortly before Maleny, turn right onto the Montville and Mapleton road. This winds along the escarpment with panoramic views of the Sunshine Coast. Stroll along the main street of Montville perusing the shops and cafes before taking time to reflect on the WWI service of the farmers of the district. The Memorial Hall, Memorial Gates and the memorial trees planted in 1923 are found in Memorial Close.
From Montville, drive north to Flaxton before turning at Philipps Road and travelling down to Nambour. Then take the Bruce Highway north to the Eumundi turn-off.
Eumundi's Memorial Avenue of Trees enhances the main street. Bed and Breakfast accommodation is available nearby or drive 25 minutes east to stay at Noosa Heads.
From Eumundi, drive back to the Bruce Highway and head north to Gympie and take the 'Business Centre' exit travelling on River Road and into the former gold mining township.
Gympie's Memorial Park is on your right. Its picturesque band rotunda is the focal point of the gardens, designed to commemorate the war service of locals. If you drive to the main business street, Mary Street, there are memorial gates framing a laneway which leads back to the Memorial Park. While in Gympie visit the Regional Gallery in the former School of Arts building in Nash Street or head up Brisbane Road to the Gold Mining Museum.
Drive north on the Bruce Highway towards Maryborough. Take a coffee break at Tiaro, the gateway to the Fraser Coast Hinterland, and visit its soldier statue war memorial outside the memorial hall before heading into Maryborough.
The memorial gates to Maryborough's Queens Park are enhanced by the beautiful Carrara marble winged victory statue on top of a 13.7 metre obelisk, one of the most elaborate and expensive war memorials in Queensland.
Walk down Bazaar Street and turn at the Post Office into Wharf Street, where you can wander through the most historic part of town. Visit the Maryborough Heritage Centre and the Portside Centre in the former Customs House and Bond Store. Pick up a heritage walk brochure in the City Hall in Kent Street. Choose from a range of hotel, motel and bed and breakfast accommodation. Be sure to visit the heritage-listed Brennan and Geraghty's Store in Lennox Street before you leave.
North of Maryborough is the small town of Howard. Its soldier statue memorial is an Italian import, complete with Italian uniform and badges, although it pays tribute to the 37 local men who died during WWI.
The town of Childers, further north is one of the prettiest towns on the Bruce Highway. Childers was the business centre of the former Isis Shire. Its heritage-listed council chambers incorporate a memorial hall commemorating those who served during WWI.
Visit the memorial to the backpackers who perished in the fire at the Palace Hotel in June 2000.
Apple Tree Creek, just off the highway north-west of Childers, has two WWI memorials. This is rare for such a small town. Its soldier statue is in the showgrounds, as is the memorial rotunda.
Travel on to the timber town of Brooweena. Brooweena's soldier statue is found on Smith Crescent, adjacent to Pioneers' Park.
From here you can drive south on the Brooweena -Woolooga Road to visit the Memorial Bridge, located a few kilometres north of Gigoomgan. Overnight accommodation may be found at Childers.

The air-passenger rights movement is on the brink of several major victories. Increasingly during the past 10 years the airline industry has been treating its customers with what many see as disrespect verging on contempt: surcharges and add-on fees are out of control; involuntary bumping is on the rise; chronically late flights have become all too normal. It's no wonder that travelers are up in arms. But the days of taking whatever the airlines dish out are nearly behind us.
The turning point came last April when a new Department of Transportation (DOT) rule went into effect prohibiting lengthy tarmac delays on domestic flights at large and midsize hub airports. It requires that airlines provide food, water, and working toilets within two hours of delaying a plane on the ground and, after three hours, that passengers be allowed to safely leave the plane.
An Airline Passenger Bill of Rights, with similar consumer protections, was added as an amendment to the FAA Reauthorization Act, which has passed both houses of Congress and is now in committee to merge the House and Senate versions. Cosponsored by Senators Barbara Boxer of California and Olympia Snowe of Maine, the bill would give the protections the more permanent force of law, whereas the DOT rules could easily be changed or overturned by a new administration.
Boxer and Snowe bluntly expressed their sentiments about the airlines' behavior in a joint statement last March: "It has been clear for a decade that the airlines refuse to hold themselves accountable to the voluntary standards they agreed to and that federal action to compel airlines to recognize passengers' rights is not only long overdue, but the only means available to ensure these rights are protected."
It doesn't stop there. Legislation proposed in August by Senator Jim Webb of Virginia would mandate that airlines display all fees and surcharges alongside base airfares. And a new set of proposed DOT rules would, among other things, give travelers the right to cancel a reservation without penalty within 24 hours of purchase and require airlines to update travelers stuck on the tarmac every 30 minutes regarding the delay status.
Not content to leave the movement in the hands of the federal government, a growing number of websites and organizations are stoking the fires of air-passenger revolt, including the Association for Airline Passenger Rights (flyfriendlyskies.com), airlinecomplaints.org, airtravelersassociation.com, and flyersrights.org. The last of these is the brainchild of Kate Hanni, a vocal passenger-rights advocate who in 2006 was stuck on a grounded plane with her husband and two children in Austin, Texas, for nine hours without food, water, or information.
"The airlines have no interest in passengers having any rights," says Hanni, who has traveled to Washington, D.C., from her California home 87 times on behalf of her 30,000-member organization. Her response to the new tarmac-delay rules? "We're not even close to being done with this. There are a lot of issues we haven't even addressed yet."
The airlines as a whole are understandably opposed to the new three-hour rule and other proposed restrictions, arguing that market forces, not legislation, should drive policy changes. But it's precisely because of the industry's reluctance to change that some observers have suggested airlines be reregulated as they were before 1978. However, the Airline Deregulation Act, signed into law by President Jimmy Carter, has had some positive results: airfares are lower (prices have declined an average of 23 percent since 1995, adjusted for inflation); competition among airlines has increased; there is a market-driven impetus to open new routes; and, as a bonus, on-time records are at recent highs. Whether these results can survive in the face of passenger-rights legislation is debatable.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Laverne!
Facts about Laverne
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Laverne's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Laverne is a playful kitten and very sweet. She'll follow you around the house! All her vet work is up to date and she is ready for a loving home. For more information or to adopt, please contact Danni at email@example.com or 973-615-0289.
Other Pets at * Purrfect Pals, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Laverne, a East Hanover Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in East Hanover, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in East Hanover.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in East Hanover already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a East Hanover breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in East Hanover paves the way for another one to be saved.

text: Modus Coco is a project I've been waiting for. As one half of Shapes of Light, Nicolas Russo-Larsson helped deliver some of my favorite cuts of the late 2000s/early 2010s electro-infused progressive house sound with tracks like their 2012-released "Shapeshifter." Nicolas kicked off his Modus Coco project 10 months ago with the release of "Ebb & Flow" and his newest with vocalist Sam Fischer picks up exactly where he left off and then some. The lyrics lack the trite bullshit that pervadesso much of today's pop music, and this track ends up being some genuinely good pop-driven house music. I love this track's unabashedly happy and optimistic vibes and think that Modus Coco has a good pop sensibility so it'll be great to see him continue developing his radio-ready ideas like this one.

Clarence White Discography Clarence White Bibliography Other four members: Muleskinner was assembled by fiddler Richard Greene and consisted of Greene, guitarist Clarence White, mandolinist David Grisman, guitarist Peter Rowan and banjoist Bill Keith. All four have been leaders in the movement to extend the musical bounds of bluegrass, variously known as newgrass, jazzgrass, progressive bluegrass, or Dawg music. These five were acquainted through a complex web of collaborations. Keith, Greene and Rowan were all in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in the mid '60s, Greene and Rowan at the same time. Keith and Greene both spent time in Jim Kweskin's Jug Band. Grisman, who in the early '60s had played in the Even Dozen Jug Band with Maria Muldaur and John Sebastian, later played in rock band Earth Opera with Rowan. Rowan and Greene then played together in a country rock band, Seatrain, from 1969 to 1972. By 1973, the time of Muleskinner, all five of the group's members were interested in combining bluegrass with material and playing techniques borrowed from jazz, rock, and various strains of world music. Keith had already introduced a radically new style of banjo playing he called "chromatic," that would prove influential in years to come. The ties among these musicians continued after their Muleskinner project ended. Rowan, Grisman, and, on occasion, Greene all participated in Old and in the Way, another casual bluegrass group that also featured Vassar Clements on fiddle and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead on banjo. Old and in the Way recorded a live LP for Rounder. In 1974, Grisman and Greene played in yet another ad hoc band: the Great American Music Band aka the Great American String Band. Others who played at one time or another in this never-recorded combo include Garcia, Clements, and Taj Mahal. Since the '70s, Keith, Greene and Rowan have released solo albums, with Rowan's veering toward western and cowboy music. (The Desert Rose Band recorded Rowan's song "Undying Love" in 1991.) Keith also became involved in the publication of Frets magazine. Meanwhile, Grisman achieved considerable success with the musical gumbo he calls "Dawg music." In 1975, the David Grisman Quintet formed, featuring Tony Rice on guitar. The debut, The David Grisman Quintet (Kaleidescope, 1977) showed off full-fledged Dawg music for the first time, and sold a remarkable 80,000 copies. Since then, Grisman has released several albums with the Quintet or Quartet, with jazz violinist Stephane Grapelli, and solo. Other musicians who were later part of the Grisman Quintet include guitar and fiddle prodigy Mark O'Connor and bassist Rob Wasserman. Grisman remains a trailblazer among mandolin players. Gram Parsons: Those present at Clarence White's funeral described Gram Parsons as being very depressed at the service. According to Chris Ethridge, Parsons told his minder and friend, Phil Kaufman, "Phil, if this happens to me, I don't want them doing this to me. You can take me out to the desert and burn me. I want to go out in a cloud of smoke."* Sadly, Kaufman was required to follow his friend's instructions only two months later. |
To read about Clarence White's career from 1965 to 1968, see Clarence White Plugs In. White's work with Gene Parsons in Cajun Gib and Gene, as a session man, and in Nashville West, is treated in the Chapter on Nashville West. White's tenure in the Byrds will be chronicled in detail in the forthcoming Byrds History Section. WITH THE BYRDS In July of 1968, the Byrds returned home from their disastrous tour of South Africa in support of Sweetheart. Gram Parsons had abandoned the tour in England, forcing McGuinn, Hillman and Kelley to tour without him. Roadie Carlos Bernal was actually pressed into service to replace Parsons on the South African gigs. The Byrds had to find a new guitarist before a gig at the Newport Pop Festival in late July, someone who could handle both their older rock material and the country sound of their brand new material. Hillman, eager that the band not abandon country, pushed for his friend White, and by late July White was an official part of the band. Nashville West dissolved without White, but by October White had succeeded in getting his old bandmate Gene Parsons added as the official drummer for the Byrds. As a full-fledged band member, White played on all Byrds albums from Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde in 1968 to Farther Along in 1971. His distinctive guitar work, both acoustic and electric, provides many of the best moments of this period in the Byrds' existence. Unfortunately, White's skills were rarely used to full advantage on these albums. Some good work was obscured by poor production on albums like Dr. Byrds and Byrdmaniax. Thankfully, the reissued versions of Dr. Byrds and Ballad of Easy Rider allow listeners to hear White's work more clearly. White had both the skill and the disposition to make himself indispensable to McGuinn, who might otherwise have been inclined to abandon country music completely (and White with it) after Hillman's departure. White's skillful playing and his affinity for the drumming of Gene Parsons helped make the later Byrds a powerful live act. White was the only full-time Byrd other than McGuinn by February 1973, when McGuinn finally dissolved the group. Other than McGuinn, no other Byrd had a longer tenure in the group.

He participated in various one-off reunions of the Kentucky Colonels. He also continued to do session work. Below is a list of albums (and a few non-LP singles) on which Clarence White is known to have appeared during and after his time with the Byrds. In a few cases the recording dates may have taken place shortly before White joined the Byrds.

Courtesy Sierra Records. AFTER THE BYRDS: MULESKINNER, THE NEW KENTUCKY COLONELS & SILVER METEOR After the break-up of the Byrds in 1973, Clarence White was in great demand. In February of 1973, while the Columbia Byrds were winding down, White was one of the young musicians assembled as a one-off band to back Bill Monroe on a local TV show. Monroe's bus broke down, so the band played the gig without him. The result was a one-shot album, Muleskinner (Warner Bros., 1973), that showed off White's bluegrass licks. Muleskinner is now regarded as a milestone in the growth of progressive bluegrass, and each of the band's other four members -- Richard Greene, Bill Keith, Dave Grisman and Peter Rowan -- has become an important figure in that movement. Sierra has since reissued the LP on CD, and more recently also issued a CD and a video of the live performance, both called Muleskinner Live. Muleskinner Live. Courtesy Sierra Records. White further renewed his acquaintance with acoustic picking when he reunited with brothers Roland and Eric for a tour of Europe as the White Brothers (also called the New Kentucky Colonels). Herb Pedersen and then Alan Munde played banjo with the New Colonels. A show from Sweden formed the basis of The White Brothers: The New Kentucky Colonels Live in Sweden, 1973 (Rounder, 1977). Upon his return from Europe, White worked on tracks for a solo project. Four of these songs, finished but for the electric lead parts, emerged on Silver Meteor (Sierra, 1980). In June, the New Kentucky Colonels were part of a country rock road show, along with Country Gazette, Gene Parsons, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Chris Ethridge, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. White also served as the musical director for those shows. FARTHER ALONG A month later, on July 14, the Colonels played a gig near Palmdale, California. As the brothers were loading equipment into a car afterward, Clarence White was struck and killed by a drunk driver. Roland White dislocated his arm when he vainly attempted to pull Clarence out of harm's way; brother Eric also witnessed the accident. The funeral was held on July 19, 1973 at a Catholic church in Palmdale, California. After the priest performed the burial rites, Bernie Leadon and Gram Parsons began to sing "Farther Along." Soon many of the mourners joined in on the country gospel standard, which both the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers had recorded. Clarence White's standout track on the last Byrds album became his own epitaph. FAREWELL BLUES In more than one interview, Roger McGuinn has called Clarence White the best musician he ever worked with. Bluegrass musicians have praised White's touch, his tone, and his timing; his use of syncopation, his bluesy flourishes, and his unfailing precision. As an acoustic and as an electric guitarist, his leads were unfailingly inventive. With the Stringbender, White invented an entirely new sonic vocabulary for the guitar. "Clarence made it look like playing was the easiest thing in the world," said old friend Jerry Garcia. "He was special, the kind of guitar player who comes along once in a while."* Garcia's words are, if anything, an understatement. Few other guitarists can claim to have mastered acoustic bluegrass, electric country, and rock guitar. But Clarence White didn't just master those styles; he reinvented bluegrass guitar and influenced every "progressive bluegrass" player that followed. Then he taught himself to play James Burton-style country and rock on the electric and in short order was extracting steel licks from his Fender. Then, for good measure, he invented an entirely new vocabulary for the electric guitar using the Stringbender invented for him by Gene Parsons. "When we played together in the Byrds," recalled Gene Parsons, "Clarence was always experimenting with new licks. He'd leave these big holes -- these anticipated beats -- and he'd just kind of leave you hanging out in the middle of nowhere. And then all of a sudden he'd come up from underneath, in a totally unexpected place, and really stretch out. That's what was always exciting about his playing. He'd knock you right out of your seat."*. White's death at 29 left a void in the music world -- but it was also a deep personal loss for his friends. "Clarence was my best friend. You couldn't have met a more honest, really nice fellow," said Gene Parsons.* "I quit playing for two years after his death because he was such a big inspiration."* KNOW MORE ABOUT IT Nearly all of Clarence White's non-Byrds work is currently available on the Sierra Records label or through their catalog. Sierra is currently preparing for the release of a boxed set called From Bakersfield to Byrdland, which will feature 2 CDs with tracks ranging from White's work with the Country Boys right up through his solo work in '73. A video will also be included, the bulk of it being an episode of a guitar instruction program that featured White as a guest. Sierra also specializes in the work of Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, and Gene Parsons.

Leslie Winner
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- In an ongoing effort that began before the downturn in the economy and capital markets, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation is fine-tuning its processes and focus.
The foundation is taking a look at the way it funds needs and policy work on issues ranging from immigration and affordable housing to education and the environment.
It also is revising the way it handles grants and looking for ways to address the continuing and changing needs of nonprofits while generating more impact from the grants it makes.
Still, the economy has taken its toll: Since it peaked at $470 million in November 2007, the value of the foundation's two trusts has dropped roughly 30 percent, says Leslie Winner, the foundation's executive director.
"I do think we will have fewer assets to spend going forward in the next unknown number of years, and that will mean we will have to be more careful and we won't be able to support everybody we want to support," she says.
"That will be hard," she says. "To some extent, we will try to respond to that by being careful about our own administrative costs, but it's fair to say we're going to have to be more cautious."
She also says nonprofits should not panic.
"We have enough assets to meet all the obligations we have made, are not planning to cancel our grant cycles and will try to continue to support the nonprofit sector in our state to the best of our ability," she says. "We will continue to be here to support that portion of the nonprofit sector that we've traditionally supported."
Since joining the foundation in January, Winner says, she has logged 27,000 miles on her car, nearly all of them work-related, and has learned a lot about the state and about philanthropy.
"While there are many challenges out there economically and in the environment and in communities, there's an incredible number of dedicated people who are chipping away at these problems in a way that is smart and persistent and determined," she says.
And despite a temporary pause in the state's growth, she says, that growth has changed the state's ethnic and demographic diversity, creating challenges and opportunities for tapping that diversity to address the challenges facing the state's communities.
Specifically, she says, the foundation is looking for "new models for civic engagement."
It will focus on energy, water and growth in its environmental funding, and will look for ways to have greater impact "with a relatively modest amount of money" in its education funding, including a new initiative likely to be announced in a few months.
The foundation will continue to focus on issues involving immigration and race and on strengthening and developing public policy, and will reexamine its community economic development funding and its strategies for helping people move into the middle class, including through the development of affordable housing.
The foundation also is adjusting how it makes grants.
At its meeting in November, for example, the foundation's
board approved fewer multi-year grants "because we were not sure what the trust
level would be in future years," Winner says. "So we were rather more conservative
about multi-year grants."
The board also made fewer grants requiring that nonprofits match them "because
we were concerned organizations would have a harder time raising money and
might not be able to meet the matches," she says.
The foundation has simplified its application and reporting requirements for grants totaling $35,000 or less, and Winner says a personal goal is to find a way to better measure and share the impact of grants, including results that are less tangible and tougher to quantify.
And despite the decline in the value of its assets, the foundation will continue to give support both for operations and projects.
This year, the foundation granted roughly $18 million overall, including 60 percent for operations and 40 percent for projects, plus nearly $2 million for Wake Forest University.
"I think that people outside the nonprofit world generally undervalue the very important contribution that the nonprofit world makes to this state," Winner says. "We should all, in ways we can, consistent with our resources, be supporting them with our time and our financial resources."

Landing more sales — Start with the end in mind
By Sandy Schussel
Sandy Schussel, LLC
More insurance and financial professionals than I ever expected showed up for my webinar last week on business planning for 2013. But I was even more surprised, in talking with attendees in the days that followed, to learn how many of these professionals could not answer basic questions about their essential numbers.
Whatever field you're in, you have to start with the end in mind. Your goal doesn't necessarily have to be financial, but let's use a financial goal as an example.
Say you want to earn $100,000 this year. Now, you can't really plan how you'll reach that goal unless you know your other essential numbers:
- How many times do you have to pick up the phone and initiate a call (dials) before you reach people live (contacts)?
- How many of the people you reach will be willing to set an appointment with you (sets)?
- How many of them will actually keep those appointments (kept)?
- How many of those who keep an appointment with you will eventually become clients (sales)?
- What are your average earnings per sale?
If it takes you three kept appointments to make one sale, and you need to set four appointments in order to have kept three, then you need to make contact with enough people to set four appointments. If it takes 10 quality contacts to set four appointments and at least 25 dials to make 10 contacts, then 25 dials should get you the four appointments you need. If you work a five-day week, that's just five dials a day.
Assuming you have people to call, all you have to do to make $100,000 this year is to pick up the phone and dial your qualified prospects at least five times each 9-to-5. Of course, if you're cold calling or not getting great referrals, that five dials might be more like 50. If your average sale is significantly smaller, you'll need more sales, so you'll need to increase all of the other essential numbers in your model.
You can create any ending you want if you make use of your essential numbers and figure out what actions you need to take to reach them. As you begin to improve those numbers — setting more, keeping more, converting more contacts to clients and getting bigger sales — the amount of activity required to get to the same result will shrink.

So, it's been 2 weeks since I started this 100 pushup challenge and I'm in love!! I downloaded the app from the website listed under the picture. I started with the initial test to see what level I would start at. Then I started the app. It is recommended that you do these in the correct form (like the picture) and not on your knees. It is also recommended to have 1 rest day in between each challenge. I am absolutely loving this! It only takes about 10 minutes each time I do it and I'm seeing the results. I don't have to lift weights to sculpt my arms and chest because my body weight is the best weight lifting I can do. My arms are more sculpted now than they were when I was just doing weight lifting. I am absolutely sold on this!!! Have any of you tried it out??
5 thoughts on "100 Pushup Challenge"
I'm gonna start this today. Thanks for the idea! Gotta start my cave training :-P

I've tried this before and made it pretty far into the challenge but got distracted/stopped around the holidays. Definitely saw an improvement though. Good luck!
I could only do 5 on the initial test. Yikes!

Updated: April 19, 2013 6:28AM
Shootout losses are always tough to swallow.
But while there were some tears shed after Bolingbrook fell to Fenwick in Sunday's Windy City Ram Classic Championship at Toyota Park, there were plenty of bright spots to take away from a successful first week of the season for the Raiders.
"It was a really good experience making it to the championship and playing here," Bolingbrook defender Nikia Smith said. "It was a tough way to lose, but I'm really proud of my team and our fight."
Jackie Mannion's goal in the seventh round of penalty kicks was the game-winner as the Friars held a 5-4 edge in the shootout to earn a 1-0 win.
The teams were tied 3-3 after the original five shooters in the shootout as Cali Pyzdrowski, Bridget Hillsman and Maddie Stupinski scored for Fenwick (4-0) while Rachel Schneider, Caroline Harvey and Nikia Smith found the net for the Raiders (3-1).
Amy Fetters — who moved from defender to goalie when starter Karissa Jones was injured in the final seconds of regulation — came up with a big save on to keep Bolingbrook alive.
"All the credit to Amy," Bolingbrook coach Martin Uscila said. "She's not a goalie. We don't have a backup goalie and for her to stick out and make a big save was huge."
After Nora Madden scored for Fenwick and Jamie Gutierrez for Bolingbrook, Mannion's goal became the game-winner when Bianca Rivera's shot sailed wide for the Raiders.
"I was really nervous," Mannion said. "I just aimed for the corner and it went in. It was really fun playing on this field and winning this tournament really got us pumped up and ready for the rest of the season."
Fenwick's Jesse Cwik made three saves in her fourth shutout of the tournament.
None were bigger than the one she made in the second overtime, when Melissa Verdin's cross set up Harvey, whose shot was deflected by Cwik off the post and out.
Fetters and Jones made two saves each for the Raiders.

Not sure wth I did. I might have let this one go too dry, not even sure. But this is one of my favorite plants and I dont know how to save it. Please help me. The stems are turning brown at the bottom and I have leaf drop... |

It looks like you overwatered it. i would letit dry out for a week or so |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 9:59
How soon until your plants can bask in those great new windows? |
Ive seen this happen during winter months. I had one that was 4' tall get down to a single leaf during a long winter but perk back up and grow very quick once spring started. These plants are generally quite tolerant so over watering is usually more of a problem than under watering. Place it somewhere warm with lots of light and go easy on the water. This is what worked for me but Im sure other people here will have different ideas Goodluck! Tuck |
You got 3 answers in 1 minute, not bad! lol Tuck |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 10:12
LOL no doubt, the "desperate" word gets attention! Tiff, I'm certainly not sure if you're not sure about the water situation, but more light usually cures all for a RT inside, assuming it's not a pest issue. |
Tiff.. No kidding!! I sure sparked attention. May 1st we close, them my babies will have all that light! Cant wait. Thanks everyone. I really thought I underwatered it. I left it go for quite a long time.. The internet says it is dying and to cut in the remaining green part above a node and plant in soil and sand... Thoughts? I certainly know the stems shouldnt turn brown... |
Are your stems turning brown or growing "bark"? Its not rare for the green skin of this plant to get a rough covering once it reaches a more mature state. You seem to have lots of stems there so if you think the plant may be dieing there is no harm in starting a new plant just in case. Thats what I would do. You may even end up with two plants :) Give it lots of light and let the soil dry out before adding more water Goodluck! |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 10:38
If you're pretty sure it was too dry, it's not unusual that it would drop some leaves, and that should also rule out risk of rotting. I wouldn't mess with it until you after you move. Trimming anything will encourage it to grow more, but w/o sufficient light, will need to draw on energy reserves to do so. In a weakened state, propagation success is much less likely, for mama and cuttings. If there isn't enough sun for mama, the cuttings in the same exposure would have little chance, assuming that's an issue, not just got too dry. The stems should turn brown, it's a tree, just making bark. Do they feel firm or soft/mushy? |
- Posted by teengardener1888 5a (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 14:48
Maybe it did get underwatered. the general cure is to give it regular waterings and shed some light |

Dump it out of the pot. If the soil is soggy and smells bad it is rotting..... Death from being too dry would not cause browing at the soil line. It would be droopy and the new growth would be dried up. |
