Since the start of the AIDS epidemic more than two decades ago, doctors, caregivers and patients themselves have observed that some people with the disease experience declines in brain function and movement skills as well as slight or sudden shifts in behavior and mood.
These are symptoms of a neurological disorder called HIV-Associated Dementia (HAD) or AIDS Dementia Complex. The syndrome frequently appears in later stages of AIDS. It is usually—although not always—associated with both an increase in viral load, which is the amount of HIV found in the blood, and a drop in the number of disease-fighting blood cells known as CD4 cells. Experts believe this group of symptoms occurs as a result of HIV infection of the brain, damaging the central nervous system, and in some cases peripheral nerves as well.
There is no "typical" course of the ailment. Sometimes it remains relatively mild; other times it may be severe or progress rapidly. Some people experience only cognitive disturbances or mood shifts, while others struggle with a combination of mental, motor and behavior changes. How much these changes disrupt a person's day-to-day life differs from one individual to the next and from one stage of the disease to another.
In part because it varies so much from person to person, HAD is one of the most poorly understood aspects of HIV disease. However, since people coping with HIV often need to take many medications on a complicated timetable, maintain a regular schedule of doctors' appointments, keep track of paperwork for insurance and other benefits, and perform additional tasks that demand significant organizational and cognitive skills, a diagnosis of HAD can present obstacles to their ability to maintain control over their lives and their health, and a challenge to caregivers, partners and others who want to help.
Getting a handle on HAD has always been difficult, because side effects from medications, other HIV-related infections, nutritional imbalances, depression, and the anxiety of coping with a deadly illness can all produce cognitive, behavioral and mood disturbances that mimic HAD. Moreover, because the neurological changes often develop gradually, it can be a challenge to determine exactly when isolated incidents or symptoms should be given a diagnosis of HAD.
Before the arrival of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) in the second half of the 1990s, estimates of the percentage of people with AIDS who would develop HAD ranged as high as two-thirds. Many specialists, however, believed that the true figure was closer to 20 to 30 percent. More recently, experts have estimated that less than 10 percent of people on HAART develop HAD. However, because people with HIV are living longer than ever before, a greater number could ultimately develop the disorder, perhaps in its milder forms.
Advances in HIV therapy also have changed the course of the ailment. Pre-HAART, when patients with full-blown AIDS generally died relatively quickly, dementia frequently struck with severity and signaled the start of a speedy decline toward death. More recently, some experts and researchers have noted that patients on HAART may experience a much slower and more prolonged deterioration in cognitive and other skills associated with dementia.
Unlike many of the infections associated with HIV and AIDS, HAD has a wide range of possible symptoms, which can vary greatly from one person to the next. And few of the symptoms are exclusive to HAD, which can greatly complicate its diagnosis.
The symptoms of HAD fall into three broad categories:
Cognitive problems are often—although not always—the first to become apparent to a person with HAD, as well as to family members, friends, caregivers and health care providers. Motor and behavioral changes, if they occur, frequently become evident in later stages of the syndrome.
Many factors can cause the same symptoms as HAD, so making a correct diagnosis is a complex and challenging task. Depression, other psychiatric disturbances, reactions to medication and nutritional deficiencies can all lead to similar symptoms, as can infections common among people with AIDS, including toxoplasmosis, lymphoma, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and cryptococcal meningitis.
An accurate diagnosis of HAD, therefore, requires a comprehensive examination that generally includes a mental status test, a brain scan, and lab tests on the cerebrospinal fluid (a fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord), which is obtained through a procedure known as a spinal tap or lumbar puncture. A mental status exam can help identify whether a person is suffering memory loss, difficulties with concentration and other thinking processes, mood swings and other symptoms. The healthcare provider will often ask that the test be repeated to ensure accuracy. Initially these changes can be barely noticeable; it takes a skilled clinician to pinpoint changes at the earliest phase of the condition. A formal diagnosis requires that the behavior/memory changes be corroborated by a third party.
CT and MRI brain scans can reveal whether someone has suffered damage to brain tissue and can help rule out other possible causes of the symptoms. And the cerebrospinal fluid of people with HAD frequently contains high levels of HIV as well as greater amounts of certain proteins, although such findings suggest rather than prove that someone is suffering from the syndrome.
Because no single test definitively answers the question of whether someone has HAD, the final diagnosis is made by weighing all the evidence together. Compounding the difficulty is the fact that HAD can sometimes coexist with AIDS-related infections or other factors, and determining the exact cause of each particular symptom can be virtually impossible. Time and repeated measures are helpful in confirming a diagnosis.
Although there is no cure for HAD, AZT, an anti-HIV drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the late 1980s, can help improve cognitive functioning in people with HIV. While many drugs are not able to penetrate the brain, AZT and some other antiretrovirals has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier, which is one reason why AZT may improve symptoms of HAD. A major problem, however, is that although larger doses of AZT apparently work best, people with HAD or advanced cases of AIDS may be highly sensitive to the potentially toxic side effects of the drug.
There are several other anti-HIV drugs—d4T, abacavir, and nevirapine, for example—that are known to cross the blood-brain barrier. Some specialists believe that these drugs may also prove effective in treating HAD, although the benefits have not been definitively proven. Much more study on treating HAD is necessary before any firm conclusions can be reached.
In addition to treating HAD itself, it is important to find ways to treat the symptoms, when possible. Anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and anti-anxiety drugs can help relieve some of the mental distress people with HAD may experience. However, some of these medications may cause complications when taken along with antiretroviral therapy or other drugs, so caution is needed in choosing the best approach. Consultation with an AIDS-knowledgeable psychiatrist is recommended.
Caring for someone with HAD can be stressful. Part of the difficulty is that caregivers must cope with not just the practical implications of the situation—making sure the person remembers to take medications on time, for example—but also with your loved one's own fears and despair about the deterioration of his or her abilities.
Encouraging someone to obtain a proper diagnosis is an important step. However, because the loss of control can be terrifying, some individuals with HAD may be unwilling to admit that they are suffering from dementia, and caregivers should be prepared for possible resistance to seeking help. It is important to remind the patient as gently as possible that there may be ways of addressing and improving the situation once the diagnosis is clarified.
This is also the time to make sure that all necessary legal documents—healthcare proxies or advance directives, durable powers of attorney, wills, and so on have been prepared with the help of a knowledgeable attorney.
Just as in the early stages of Alzheimer's or other cognitive disorders, there are steps a caregiver can take to make the situation as manageable as possible. Many of these require nothing more than a little insight into the patient's situation and are designed simply to create as stable and secure an environment as possible.
Keep the home environment familiar. Memory prompts, such as calendars, lists, beepers, and pill boxes, can be a tremendous help in alleviating frustration. During conversation, it is important to maintain eye contact, repeat the names of visitors, and talk slowly and clearly in order to reduce stress and anxiety. If the person needs to be hospitalized, decorating the room with familiar items—such as family photographs and favorite mementos—can help create a soothing atmosphere and keep a person with HAD calm.
For caregivers themselves, the demands of coping with a person suffering from dementia—whether related to AIDS or another disorder—can be challenging. Feelings of depression, guilt, rage, despair and fear are common. It can be crucial for caregivers to seek help themselves, whether in the form of individual counseling or support groups with others in similar circumstances.
That help also frequently takes the form of hiring outside assistance, such as a home health aide, to help care for an individual with HAD. In addition, many social service agencies provide consultation, respite for caregivers, daycare programs, and other practical support services. Some caregivers feel ashamed that they cannot do everything and are reluctant to access such support, especially if the one who is ill resists. But getting the support you need in order to maintain your ability to carry on with caregiving responsibilities—even over possible objections—can be a genuine expression of love and concern.

lvcheck (http://www.redhat.com/archives/linux.../msg00088.html) allows background checks to be performed on ext3 volumes on an LVM system (using snapshots). If the checks reveal that the filesystem is healthy, its last check date is updated; this avoids unscheduled fscks on boot. This can be done say at night during weekends (depending on your backup schedule of course ). The script also works with XFS and JFS, but I haven't used it on these so I daren't comment on the specifics.
The only downside is that orphaned inodes are not cleared, so scheduled fscks are still useful from time to time.
Why you forgot JFS, its the fastet file System for Linux?
And load times in Games will be more interestant as the fps count.
it is only 'the fastest' when you forget to turn off barriers for xfs and reiserfs. jfs does not even support this critical feature.
do your harddisk have an onboard cache? do you care about your data?
then you need barriers.
xfs and reiserfs care about data, so they turn it on by default
extX devs don't care about your data, so they turn it off by default (argued with '30% performance loss')
jfs doesn't have barrier support at all from all I could find.
then they went away from stupid with ext4 - I applaud them for that decision.

Washington tax protest / Rod A. Lamkey Jr., Associated Press
President Obama's limousine will soon have new adornments: Washington, D.C. "Taxation Without Representation" license plates.
The D.C. government authorized the plates to protest the fact that the District of Columbia does not have a vote in Congress.
"President Obama has lived in the district now for four years, and has seen first-hand how patently unfair it is for working families in D.C. to work hard, raise children and pay taxes, without having a vote in Congress," said White House spokesman Keith Maley.
Maley added: "Attaching these plates to the presidential vehicles demonstrates the president's commitment to the principle of full representation for the people of the District of Columbia and his willingness to fight for voting rights, home rule and budget autonomy for the district."
President Bill Clinton also used the "Taxation Without Representation" plates; President George W. Bush did not.
The license plates will be put on all presidential vehicles, starting this inauguration weekend.

Are you using an IR thermometer? 525 is the highest I'd go with 1/2" steel and even that might be pushing it.Now, there is a formula related aspect as well. Lower hydrations and higher protein flours burn faster and both sugar and fat accelerate browning, but I don't think your varying results are formula related.
I don't think its a formula issue, I do need to get an IR gun. I feel like my lower half is much hotter than my upper half.
Wow, very nice ! now I want some garlic knots
awesome idea! Very nice pizza!

Carle faces several important decisions before he can present his plan to the head of International Consumer Businesses. He must decide whether to launch a credit card business in Romania, how to position the credit card, and how to acquire new customers most effectively. This case is appropriate for use in the product policy module of a general marketing course, in a new product course, or in a services management course. Students are required to complete a quantitative assignment as part of case analysis.

ZakiyaTNPowder Version - Extremely HarshA stylist used the powder version on my hair to lift the black semi-permanent color. I had shoulder length hair that had not been relaxed in about 8 - 9 months (2 1/2 - 3 inches of new growth) as I was transitioning to natural hair. Five weeks after the treatment, I decided to go back to the relaxer. Another stylist (whom I've used over 15 years) applied his normal relaxer and my hair fell out (to the scalp) by the handful. Ended up having to shave my head. This was an extremely harsh product on my seemingly healthy hair.Reply to this postNov 23, 2011Link to this post
Donna T.TxHair Is Orange/yellowMy hair color was originally salt and pepper. I used theUncolor product to make my gray appear to be silvery looking. After using the product, my hair is orange/yellow.

HayleyBlonde Higlightss!!!I have naturally strawberry bonde hair but have had lighter blonde higlights put in, would this product help to remove the highlightss or is there another product that could? any informtaion would be gratefully appreiciated?Reply to this post

JoanReplyUnfortunatley when you high light your hair, it bleaches, these color removers should only remove hair dye, if your hair was bleached the color was already removed, you could dye over the high lights thoughMar 16, 2011Link to this post
PeHighlights Can't Exactly Be RemovedI've had great results with Uncolor liquid to remove semi-permanent dye. That means, dye without peroxide. Uncolor won't work on dye that used a peroxide developer. Since most dyes have both semi-permanent and permanent pigments in them, to get stubborn color out of your hair you could use Uncolor first, then Color Oops (available at Safeway and maybe here on Folica). Sometimes you have to do it more than once. If you've been coloring your hair a long time or if you've used permanent color, your hair might not come out like it used to be. You might get some interesting or brassy shades in your hair and you might want to dye it again. But I only use semi-permanent dye, and Uncolor does a good job of getting it out. I remove the buildup of dye every few months to get rid of rusty or brassy overtones.
Highlights are made by taking some of the natural color out of your hair, to make it lighter than your whole head of hair. Then usually some tint of blonde, red, or light brown is added to your hair. A color remover product might take away the tint, but your highlighted areas would still be lighter than the rest of your hair. Also this product will only work to remove semi-permanent color. I bet the color in your highlights is from a permanent dye, so you might need something like ColorOops.
Instead of removing your highlights, you could try using a strawberry blond semi-permanent dye on all of your hair. That might make the highlights less obvious. I like Clairol Beautiful Collection semi-permanent dye. You can get it at Sally Beauty and some other beauty stores. If you use a shade that's lighter than your natural color, but darker than your highlights, it will be a subtle change so it's pretty safe. And it will wash out in 2-3 weeks. This dye is really easy to use and it makes your hair shinier.Mar 7, 2011Link to this post
Carole McgonigalOrange HairI have put a color on my hair and now my hair is orange. Will your product work on getting my hair back to its original color? I had a lot of grey, and I believe that is why my hair turned orange, and also the fact that my hair is auburn, and maybe too that I should have gone to a shop and had this done! Where do I purchase your product, as I do not have a credit card. Thank you for your help.Reply to this postJan 19, 2010Link to this post

This product is way over priced. It is not comfortable. Way too thin even after putting both pillows together. Don't waste your money on this!
I would not waste the time or money on these pillows--they are made of some sort of cheap foam and do not perform as adviertised. I have a real contoured memory foam pillow that I need to replace and I paid a lot more for this one pillow a few years ago than both of these pillows. I am extremely dissapointed and will be further annoyed if I do not get my FULL return including shipping--stay away from this product!
As far as the contour of the pillow it was accurate, helps for my neck and shoulder but as far the snoring, didn't stop at all, in fact I woke myself up from snoring, that's how I know it didn't work.
I am not impressed at all. The pillows are pretty small - not even the size of standard pillows, and not as thick as the description says. They only conform to your head if you are a back-sleeper, which I suppose would help snorers because they are back sleepers but I don't see how. And they're not exactly comfortable in any other position. The foam mattress is only about 1/2 as thick as the description says and not a california king size at all, nor is the thickness uniform at all. And yes, I let it "air up" for 48 hours before I used it so it should have reached its maximum thickness. Because they come compressed, once you let them open to air it is impossible to repack them to return them unless you own one of those vacuum packaging things, which I don't. This was my first purchase from Overstock and because of the inaccuracy of the description, I will never shop here again because I don't trust them. I could have just bought standard pillows at *** for $$$ apiece and they're at least hypoallergenic!
I just got the pillows today, and I realize that you pay for what you get. If you want quality, then buy a more expensive pillow. After opening the package, I was pretty shocked. The description says pillow, but the product looks like a piece of foam with holes drilled into it. I might place the pillow under my more expensive memory foam pillow to use as more of a high density foam. The memory foam of this product is horrible by the way. The only reason why I didn't give this product one star is because the product is so cheap.
As Described, Not as Firm as I would like, but they do support you neck and head. I would prefer them to be a little taller, but overall a great pillow. No Odor At All
It took me at least one month to get use to it. I find it at in the corner of the bed in the morning. It does not help with snoring but its kind of comfortable.
it help some i wish that it work better then it does it keep me from snore some but not compleatly it work but not as good as i hoped
These pillows were very small, and didn't work. Two more to add to the pile of pillows that claim to help stop snoring.
This pillow would be a good option for someone who wanted to try a less expensive memory foam pillow before purchasing a temperpedic,or similar product.It has made some difference in my sleep,but I intend to buy a better grade of pillow.this one is smaller than I expected it might be.

Urethral suspension is a surgery to correct stress incontinence in women. The procedure creates support for the tube that carries urine out of the body. The tube is called the urethra.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The goal of this surgery is to place a sling under the urethra. The sling will close off the urethra during stressors like laughing or sneezing. This will stop the uncontrolled leaking of urine.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a urethral suspension, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Sometimes, a surgical mesh is used in this procedure. This mesh has been linked to some problems during recovery. Talk to your doctor about medical devices used during surgery.
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Prior pelvic or vaginal surgery may increase the risk of complications.
Your doctor will try to find out why you are leaking urine through some or all of the following:
Steps to take leading up to surgery:
You may receive a spinal anesthetic to numb your lower body. General anesthesia may also be used, in which case you will be asleep.
One or two small incisions will be made in the abdominal wall and vagina. A sling will be placed under the urethra and stitched into place. The sling can be made out of a synthetic material or tissue from your own body.
After surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery room. You will most likely have a catheter in place to drain your urine.
1-1.5 hours
Anesthesia will block pain during the surgery. After surgery, you may experience some pain or soreness. You will be given pain medication to relieve the discomfort.
You may be sent home the same day.
At first, your urine may look bloody. This will resolve over time.
When you are able to empty your bladder completely, the catheter will be removed. You may be asked to get up and walk around.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
Certain steps will allow healing to take place. General steps include:

Female pussy lips (large) also known as beef curtain. A nice set of ham flaps will usually lead to a nice showing of camel toe. Sometimes too much ham flaps will result in some people calling it moose knuckle instead of camel toe. This is incorrect as moose knuckle is the male version of camel toe. This debate has gone on for years in many a smokey, urine smelling, crappy bar on a late night.
Did you see the camel toe on dat bitch? She could pick up a quarter out of the sand with her ham flaps!

Used to describe the labia minora, or the two soft folds of skin on either side of the opening of the vagina. Ham should be used when referring to one with pink coloring. Bologna, for medium coloring, and Roast Beeeeef, for dark.
Ew, Margot, you are seriously going to wear those short-ass shorts? I can practically see your ham flaps from here.

Any Motor Maids here? Ladies that haven't heard of this organization, please check it out! Motor Maids rock! Convention this year is in Spartansburg, SC!
Any Motor Maids here? Ladies that haven't heard of this organization, please check it out! Motor Maids rock! Convention this year is in Spartansburg, SC!
09 HP2 Sport: '06 K12R; '09 Buell XB9SX
In 1940 Motor Maids, Inc. was established as a women's motorcycling organization in North America. It is the first and oldest continuously operated women's motorcycling organization.
With approximately 1,200 members across the United States and Canada, the Motor Maids are a diverse group of women motorcyclists united through a passion for riding while fostering a positive image and promoting safe riding skills.
09 HP2 Sport: '06 K12R; '09 Buell XB9SX
I am a member of that wonderful organization--Very rich in history and great ladies that love each other and share their passion of riding. Since being a member I have ridden to the west coast three times for Conventions, Canada, Maine, and many areas beyond.-member since 2005. One great thing is the diversity of the women who are members-from 16 to 90 years of age,all occupations-authors, bike builders, motorcycle speed record holders, mothers, grandmothers, soldiers,and on and on. Thanks for taking note of us. One of the things that sets up apart from others-besides being the oldest organized ladies riding group-is that we ride!! One must own and ride their bike to vote and have a voice at Convention. Most of us make it an adventure and do touring on the way.
I went to the Motor Maids web site and couldn't find any information about local chapters. I belonged to Women on Wheels for years but found that most of the members didn't ride very much. I'd be interested in checking out MM. Is there a chapter in the northern Illinois area?
2007 R1200RT, gone
2009 R1200RT, gone
Mary, when on the web site, click on "contact us" "district directors". A bunch of state license plates will pop up. Click on Illinois and you'll get the email address for the District Director.
I've been a member for a year now and I LOVE IT!! I went to the convention in Michigan this past July and had a grand time. I met THEE most wonderful women. It's empowering!
If you still have trouble getting a hold of the district director, please email me and I'll investigate further.
Happy Trails!

I've heard of them and tried to connect with the group in NH. Apparently I was not desireable as a potential member when it became obvious that I ride a BMW. The introductory ride I was told about started from a Harley dealer. When I indicated some interest I did not get a reply back. Disappointing and my feeling is that if the mindset is that closed then I have no interest in participating. So I ride either alone or with the men in my club.
Ah, well!
Diann was a Motor Maid for years in Toronto Ontario, she eventually became dissatisfied with them as they became more Harley oriented, in her opinion.
She remains in touch with some of the members, and went on a Partitour of Europe with a group of fellow Motor Maids in 1992..........Rod.
Work is the curse of the riding class
Also consider looking into Women on Wheels. They are celebrating 30 years. I've been a member for 3 years. It's great to be part of a national women's group, but the local groups do vary - some are very active & unfortunately some are not. But give them a look.
Women In The Wind is another international women's riding organization that has been around 30 + years. We have a chapter here in WA state, you can find the chapters on the website.
00 R1200C (blue)
Pardon my delay in replying - my logon got a bit messed up for a while. I don't think the email was lost in cyberspace because the account I was communicating from hasn't had that problem historically (knock on wood!). That email account uses "Rapunzelbmw" which makes it pretty obvious that I'm connected to things BMW. This is not the first time that I've run into the closed mind of a H-D rider - sad to say. At least, that's my perception of how this particular communication played out. I might try again but thru the MA contact. My issue there is that I am extremely close to NH and it is usually less time consuming to get to NH activities.
I looked into Women on Wheels many years ago and was put off by the number very obviously "masculine" women and all the members of the particular club I visited rode H-Ds. Loud ones at that. So I didn't pursue that either. But that was a long time ago and I was newly single after the dissolution of a 17-year marriage.
My personal issues of associating with any group that is strongly H-D is definitely a hindrance but is rooted in very real and negative life experiences and I don't care to repeat them. It limits me because the H-D population here in New England is huge and they run the gamut of those who are all-inclusive riders to those who overtly condescend to those who do not ride a H-D. Then there are the ones who ride with colors..... However, I have to admit that on my first ride of this season it was a real hoot to pass lone H-D male riders, wave to them, see their look of astonishment, and then watch in the rearview mirror as they turned their head to look back at me. I was laughing.
All that said, I wish there was a women's BMW club.
Keep the shiney side up!

I am not new to BMWMOA, just new to this forum.
I am one of those riders who own and ride both a Beemer and a Harley.
I quit the HOG chapter 12 years ago because of the attitudes of most Harley riders:
"if it ain't a V-twin, then it's crap", or " is that a sewing machine you're ridin, there?" to which I proudly replied: "yes its a German sewing machine, and will outrun that Milwaukee tractor any day!"
While Motor Maids and other women's groups have history, they lack the hard core riders that we, the BMW community, have.
There are Harley riders who do ride alot, long distance. I see them in the middle of nowhere all the time.
We could start a all womens online riders group as adjunct to BMWMOA: like Ladies of Harley is to H.O.G. sort of.
keep ridin, and don't let the HD clones get you down!!!
: still clinging to my Bible, motorcycle, and guns
+1 I completely agree that we don't need any more divisions. I am a RIDER and am accepted as that by both men and women. Everyone I've ever met in the MOA has been welcoming and helpful. I usually show up at BMW rallies on a V-Star and it makes no difference.
Even better than stopping a rider in Sedalia, volunteer. You will meet so many new friends!
I sooo agree with Voni! I, also connect with "rider" more than "female rider". The guys in my club are just awesome! There are so many riding styles. If I want fast technical riding, I ride with "those guys", if I want slow, roam the countryside, I ride with "those guys", if I want long days, then those are usually solo. But no matter what there is always someone around that wants to ride!
I do belong to a "lady rider group" locally but I usually just meet them for the monthly dinners, I don't usually ride with them, but they are a very nice group.
I've met riders from all over the country and I have yet to meet one that "snubbed" me. They are usually very nice.
Have fun with your MM group, I've always heard nice things about them.

Thanks, Voni. Actually I am in a local club. It's a small club and there are only 2 women who ride in it and I'm one of them. I took a little hiatus from it for about 5 years (never let my membership lapse tho) and when I got back into going to club events it was so much like going home. I don't think I'll let myself get derailed from that again. Looking forward to Sedalia and I'll be sure to attend the womens seminar. If you see a silver R1150R that looks too short, that's my bike! Stop and say hi!

Belle Buffer Kit - 3/24/2014 9:12:08 AM I first saw the Belle Buffer before it was on the market at the Boston Marathon expo. It was being marketed as a muscle stimulator as well as a cellulite diminisher. I wanted one immediately. I don't have cellulite but I do have sore muscles. It is great stimulator, you can feel the blood heat up against your skin. It feels like I ran a good hard run so I know my muscles are primed for a run. Less risk of injury I hope. I use it twice a day with the delicious delicate lotion that comes with the buffer. Order the bonnets extra, I just placed an order. They get dirty looking quickly due to oils in your body. Maybe dead skin cells? I have used it for a little over a month. I feel like it is very good for anyones circulation and muscle health. I love my Belle. The pink is pretty. It is easy to use. Get extra bonnets and extra lotion. The lotion is very light weight and scented very pretty and refreshing.Exfoliates skin but does not eliminate cellulite. - 3/13/2014 9:22:55 AM I had my hopes up for this product hoping it would really work but it didn't. Exfoliates skin leaving it soft but cellulite does not diminish. I used it 4 weeks and since I did not notice any change I returned it for a full refund, if it had been a little cheaper I would had kept it to exfoliate my skin. My cellulite is moderate, I exercise and eat pretty healthy and did not see a difference. eliminatePlease let me tell you! - 6/18/2013 3:31:48 PM When I called skinstore to inquire about this product I was asked to please write a review on it if I decided to purchase it. The lady told me that they didn't have many reviews on it and needed more. When I asked her opinion on what size I should order she told me that the smaller size would be just as helpful and would actually be easier to handle. She was right. I have been plagued with cellulite on the inside of my thighs and rear end since in high school. I tried every pill, cream, and exfoliate I could get my hands on. I even tried that Bliss vacuum contraption but with no happy result. I hesitated at first before buying the Belle but out of desperation, I decided to throw out more of my cash. And hold the phone! Nothing has come close to helping me like this little powerhouse! This thing-a-ma-jig has shocked me! Like always, I wasn't expecting much to happen. I had been disappointed so many times by so many products before, my faith was dwindling. But my oh my! Within a week I had noticed that I had lost two pounds and my legs and butt had actually started to look smaller. Could it be? I thought I may had been seeing things. But lo and behold, one week later another 2 pound loss! "Now wait a minute," I thought to myself. I don't remember reading anywhere about weight loss. But sure enough...weight and inches lost! I guess its all about the spinning and the vibration. What else could it be? If I were you I'd save my coins and give it a whirl. Maybe...just maybe...you'll get to be a happy camper like me. P.S. Take heed of the instruction booklet where it states to not use on breast. My only guess is... they would probably shrink too! So watch it now! This little doo-dad can be dangerous!Works for me - 9/22/2012 9:37:17 AM I bought a Honeybelle Bodybuffer at Skinstore when it was on sale for about $320. I was worried I might be wasting my money, and that is no small amount to waste, but I had read positive reviews elsewhere, not to mention I was sick of dragging around this pad of fat on the back of my thighs, my hips and my rear end. I mean, really sick of it. No one considers me fat, but not everyone sees me naked. I am a size 4 and rather athletic, I work out three or four days a week and I am toned and healthy. But exercise alone does not always get rid of cellulite, as was the case with me. It's hereditary, my mom has a huge cellulite problem, but at 82 she isn't really worried about it. Anyway, I decided to go for it so I bought it and I've been using it twice a day for about three weeks now, followed with the body contour cream, which is a lovely product and apparently part of the process. I am also using another cellulite cream by Cairins, which I really love. I've never used a cellulite cream before. The combo of the massage and the cream is the key to all this. The massage is very nice and it's easy to use, and each morning I use it for about five minutes on each leg and include my rear end in that process, and in the evening I use it for ten minutes on each leg and then ten minutes on my hips and rear. You have to press down hard, but that doesn't take much effort. If you don't have much to get rid of maybe using it for less time would work for you, but my commitment and method seem to be working, because even my husband has noticed the difference, and he was more sceptical than me! He said, "OMG...it WORKS!" Lol. The dimples are diminishing and my skin is nice and smooth, and the saddle bags I used to be able to grab I can no longer get my fingers around. I can see that the depth of the cellulite is not as deep as it was, it seems to be smoothing my silouette as it is shrinking the cellulite inward. I'm totally happy and excited about what this thing is doing for me. I don't think I will need to use it for the length of time that I am using it now by the time results are achieved, which could be six months from now, but I really don't care, The manual said that it will only require maintenance of a few times a week once results are achieved, which is fine with me. If you are a very big woman with much body fat, and/or if you are out of shape and have not exercised in years, don't expect miracles. To get a killer body doesn't happen overnight and requires consistency and discipline. Drink lots of water, not too much caffeine or alcohol, adopt a healthy diet and regular exercise--even if it's just fast walking three or four times a week for half an hour, 45 minutes--if you do all that and want to get rid of cellulite without resorting to liposuction (expensive and painfull), then the Bodybuffer is what you want. It's awesome, and the results you will get will be worth it.get buffed - 7/10/2012 11:25:09 AM This is one great machine.. from the moment you put it on your skin and turn it on you will 'get-it'.. Deep tissue massage that eases sore muscles instantly.. smoothes the skin and makes it look and feel younger.. and when you use it as directed, gets rid of the cellulite dimples.. It says to use 5 minutes twice a day, and although that sounds like a huge commitment, believe me, it's worth it, and because if feels good, you actually get a little addicted to the massage.. pure luxury..... use it on your feet and ankles at night.. absolute bliss.... A friend has the smaller baby, and it feels as powerful.. but I like the big one.. you can really get to grips with it..Good, Not Perfect - 12/23/2011 10:36:13 AM As a smaller version of its big sister, the Baby Belle is not the perfect travel companion. Ideally, having it either rechargeable (ideal) or at least with the option of batteries is better than requiring the cord which both adds to bulk in packing (it is pretty big) iAND also makes it harder to maneuver. I know that at a minimum, it helps circulation and, while it is a little less than comfortable on the stomach, I am noticing 'smoothing' of the skin surface. A little pricey, too, for what it is (and for its lack of cordlessness). Overall, given it is the only thing like it on the market, I would recommend it to a friend who had issues similar to mine (slim, pretty in shape, but less than 'smooth' in areas,) Seems to be helping! -

Domestic violence and sexual abuse are often called "women's issues." But in this bold, blunt talk, Jackson Katz points out that these are intrinsically men's issues — and shows how these violent behaviors are tied to definitions of manhood. A clarion call for us all — women and men — to call out unacceptable behavior and be leaders of change.
This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxFiDiWomen, an independent event. TED editors featured it among our selections on the home page.

Remembering an 'unknown' fed
Friday - 10/26/2012, 2:00am EDT
If the name George Hans Strauss doesn't ring a bell, that doesn't mean you are out of the loop. But as a career fed, it is a name you probably should know.
George, who died Oct. 10, was like hundreds, maybe thousands, of people who are known as the Greatest Generation. Because of the Great Depression and World War II, they were alike in many ways — yet also rugged individualists. Most became solid citizens. Some were heroes and superstars.
We are losing them at the rate of about 1,500 per day.
Because of their war service, many of that generation got to go to college on the GI bill. Because of hard times during the depression, many were looking for good, steady jobs. A lot of them were accustomed to public service. Many went into government. Like George.
George was born in Austria in 1924. His family came to the U.S. in 1939 because of the growing anti-Jewish mood (to put it mildly) in Germany and Austria. He joined the U.S. Army at 19, becoming a tech sergeant in the infantry, then with the MPs. He served in England and France. He retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1968 and joined the Office of Management and Budget (then the Bureau of the Budget) the same year.
At OMB George served under five Presidents. He was a star. Often behind the scenes. He started as a personnel and compensation specialist then rose to SES status. As an expert on personnel (people are now known as human capital) and compensation, I dealt with George. A lot.
That George was smart quickly became apparent. That he was funny, in a droll, old-world sort of way emerged later. In talking with people after George's death (Parkinson's disease), I realized how little I really knew about him. We never talked about our military service (his a little longer and a lot more distinguished than mine). We talked a lot, but it was mostly business.
I realize now how young I must have appeared to him. Partly because I was. A newcomer, almost a kid, covering the federal beat that he knew inside and out. Yet he was always gracious, forthcoming and helpful. He helped keep me from making some really dumb mistakes (although I still managed enough on my own) several times that I know of. And probably more that I don't.
Bottom line, he was a very good man. A patriot (if that term is still allowed), a dedicated public servant and — like so many people then and now — proud to be in the federal government which was, and still is, lucky to have people like him. Maybe some people you know. Maybe you too.
If you knew George, you were lucky. If you didn't, you may be lucky enough to know someone like him. Better still, you may be one.
Thanks for your service.

Gun-Ban Work Around: 3D Printing High Capacity Magazines
One of the most popular targets for gun-banners in this post Sandy Hook environment is the talk of banning high capacity ammunition magazines. But a group of gun enthusiasts have devised a way of getting around such bans by using three dimensional printing devices right in their own homes to create plastic versions of the magazines.
During the weekend of January 11, a group calling itself Defense Distributed "printed" a 30-round magazine out of plastic and successfully fired at least 86 rounds through it.
Last year this same group used a 3D printing device to fashion the lower receiver of an AR-15 rifle to which they attached parts of a real rifle to form a complete and working piece. The homemade gun part actually fired several rounds before falling apart from the shock of the explosions of the bullets.
Defense Distributed put out a rather triumphant video announcing its success at printing a 30-round magazine.
3D printing technology is not quite up to the task of creating an entire gun. Many parts of a firearm are made of high strength metals and 3D printing devices cannot produce parts of that sort as of yet. Further, even the parts that Defense Distributed have printed experience high failure rates. But as technology progresses, solutions to these limitations seem likely.
Through its website (defcad.org), Defense Distributed plans to continue to offer blueprints and electronic files for 3D printers to print gun parts but have held off on exploring any effort to print an entire gun until they get licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) as a legal gun manufacturing business.
The success of Defense Distributed has made it a target for the attention of anti-gun activists and lawmakers alike but so far no legal sanctions have been leveled against the group nor have any laws limiting their actions been proposed.

Fall means apple-picking and apple-picking means lots of delicious apple treats to make! Why not try something new, like these a-DORA-ble candy apples that look just like your child's favorite explorer!
Explore with Dora weekdays at 8:30AM ET on NICK
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Wash and dry apples. Insert the wooden stick into the stem end of each apple and place on the cookie sheet. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
Using scissors, cut a 1/4-inch slice off each round end of the marshmallows to make 12 circles, discarding the center piece. Cut each marshmallow circle slice in half to make 24 semicircles for the eyes. Place the pieces, sticky side down on a sheet of wax paper. Cut the fruit leather into 12 curved 1-inch triangles for Dora's mouth. Add them to the wax paper with the marshmallows.
Place the chocolate and butterscotch chips into separate microwave-proof bowl. Add a tablespoon of the shortening to each bowl. Microwave the butterscotch chips, stirring every 5 seconds, until smooth. Dip a chilled apple into the melted candy to coat one side. Allow the excess candy to drain off. Return the apple, candy side up, onto the cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples.
Reheat the butterscotch chips for about 5 seconds if it becomes too thick. Spoon any extra melted candy into a freezer-weight resealable bag. Refrigerate the apples until the candy is just set. Snip a small corner (1/8 inch) from the bag with the melted candy. Pipe a dot of the melted candy in the center of the marshmallow semicircles and attach a brown candy as her eye. Repeat with the remaining candies and refrigerate until set, about 5 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 5 seconds, until smooth. Dip an apple into the chocolate, leaving a 3-inch area of butterscotch candy exposed as Dora's face. (Dip each side first and then the top to make her bangs.) Allow the excess chocolate to drip off and insert the wooden stick into the Styrofoam base to set. Spoon any excess chocolate into a freezer-weight resealable bag.
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Reheat the melted chocolate in the resealable bag, for about 5 seconds if necessary. Snip a small (1/8 inch) corner from the bag. Pipe 12 to 15 (in case of breakage) 1 1/2-inch V shapes for the top of Dora's hair. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator until set, about 5 minutes. Carefully peel the V's off of the wax paper. Pipe a dot of the remaining melted chocolate on top of the apples and attach the V. Let chocolate set. Pipe a small comma shape with the chocolate as her nose in the center of the butterscotch area. Repeat with the remaining apples.
Add the marshmallows eyes using a dot of melted candy. Add the fruit leather mouth with a dot of water. Arrange sticks in bucket or other container filled with Styrofoam and top with additional candy if desired.
