We Must Consider CAM for Depression
Dear Readers,
Despite a hectic schedule this January, I'm hoping to keep my blog up-to-date with the exciting events in my practice and at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM).
A quick look at my schedule/to-do list:
I've just finished leading (along with Kathie Swift, MS, RD, LDN, my co-director) The Center for Mind-Body Medicine's professional training program in nutrition, Food as Medicine, in San Francisco.
We're also moving forward with our exciting work with the US Military training health and mental health professionals who are working with active-duty military as well as in the Veterans Administration to use mind-body techniques with vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with severe depression, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury. Over 100 of these professionals came to the first phase of our professional training program in mind-body medicine in Minnesota in October 2008. Here's some data on the difference our training made to them. Most of them are returning for our advanced training–where we teach them how to lead the same kind of mind-body skills groups in which they participated in the first training—this weekend, from January 31-February 4th, once again in Minneapolis.
We're also moving ahead with a research study funded by the Department of Defense on the use of our model with traumatized veterans and their families.
Last but not least, 30 of us–health professionals, policy makers, and just plain folks–gathered together in my home to develop a report to make recommendations for a National Health Plan to the Daschle/Obama Health and Human Services Administration. We're continuing to explore ways for CMBM to be involved in creating a top-down support for truly universal and integrative health care for all Americans.
In other news, a recent op-ed of mine was published in the Clinical Psychiatry News, entitled "We Must Consider CAM for Depression." You can read this succinct argument for wider use of integrative therapies, versus drug-centric treatment, here (you will have to create an account on this website to access it if you don't already subscribe to CPN, though–sorry.) I was also published in the New York Times science section, writing about a friend and colleague of mine in Gaza going through the terrible bombings there. Read that one here.
Let me know your thoughts about what we're doing, how we're doing it, and how we're bringing it out into the world! I'll be in touch too.
The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First by Mark Hyman, MD Review by James S. Gordon, MD
The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First
by Mark Hyman, MD, Scribner's: New York: 2009
Review by James S. Gordon, MD
I just finished The UltraMind Solution, a wonderful, ground breaking book that gives new and eminently practical insight into the causes and treatment of mood, behavior, and cognitive disorders. It's a book I recommend to all of you without reservation.
The UltraMind Solution is by Mark Hyman, MD, a highly skilled, integrated Family physician who is a Center for Mind-Body Medicine Board Member, and a core faculty person in our Food As Medicine training. In The UltraMind Solution, Mark suggests that the most effective and, indeed, scientific way to address the epidemic of psychiatric disorders (affecting 1.1 billion people worldwide) is not with psychotropic drugs that treat postulated alterations in neurotransmitters, but with nutritional therapies that address the underlying biological imbalances that ultimately may disturb neurotransmitter functioning.
The UltraMind Solution is based on the principles of "functional medicine," a systems approach to chronic disease and to the physical and emotional problems that beset our population. It is a road map for both patients and practitioners, a clear, thoughtful, guide to the ways the body can become imbalanced, and to the simple, natural methods-largely food and supplements-that can be used to restore the imbalances in the entire body, and most particularly, the brain. It's a book that significantly deepened my own understanding of biological factors in depression. I believe, as well, it will enhance the information on biology that I present in my book Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven Stage Journey Out of Depression.
In a series of clear, well documented chapters, Mark discusses the "7 keys" to his program, and the ways that readers can use them. These keys include optimal nutrition, hormone balancing, decreasing inflammation, improving digestion, enhancing detoxification, increasing energy metabolism, and calming the mind. In The UltraMind Solution, Mark includes more than 400 well-chosen scientific references and dozens of case studies, together with diagnostic questionnaires. He offers as well clear steps that readers can take to use this information to help and heal themselves. You can learn more about The UltraMind Solution by going to the following website: http://www.ultramindhealth.com/cmbm.
Mark is also presenting a six part webinar series for clinicians on applications of functional medicine to brain and mood disorders. In particular, he will discuss diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to ADD/ADHD, autism, dementia, and depression. Access to these webinars is complimentary for practitioners who obtain a copy of The UltraMind Solution by going to the website below.
PTSD on Wall Street and Main Street
"You don't have to go to Gaza to treat posttraumatic stress disorder," my friend said. "Just come to New York."
It's not that the mental and emotional state of the US population is indistinguishable from that of Gaza's Palestinians — many of whom have lived with eight years of war and civil strife — thousands of lives lost and homes destroyed, and unemployment reaching 40-50 — some say 70-80– percent. Indeed, even those of us hit hardest three weeks into the worst of this unraveling financial crisis, are still technically experiencing only an "acute stress disorder." But there are signs that each day, this growing financial crisis is traumatizing us more and more. Add to that our costly, life-claiming Middle East war, and we — like the Palenstinians in Gaza — may also be on our way to significant levels of population-wide traumatic stress.
Posttraumatic stress disorder, which by definition lasts longer than several weeks, is characterized by three sets of symptoms: "Hyperarousal," an agitated state in which the heart may race, concentration and sleep are disturbed, startle responses are exaggerated and anger easily triggered; "Re-experiencing" the original trauma — in nightmares, intense and disturbing memories, and flashbacks; and "Avoidance" of trauma-related thoughts and feelings, coupled often with a sense of detachment and estrangement, emotional numbness and an apprehension about a bleak future.
All these are in abundant supply in those closest to the crisis — the ones who have lost jobs and pensions, older people who see their retirement savings melting away, and people of all ages who cannot keep up payment on their homes. Many who are, or were, working on Wall Street are sleeping fitfully, jiggling their knees uncontrollably in meetings, drinking and eating too much, losing their appetites, and popping antacids and tranquilizers. One broker friend is awake far into the night, worrying about her elderly clients' inability to live on their diminished incomes and whether or not she will be able to pay her own child's tuition. Others, like one 30-year Lehman Brothers veteran who is married to a colleague, have receded into states of frozen denial; acting as if somehow everything were still as it was. He dresses as meticulously as he always did and sits for hours at a computer which no longer registers his trades.
And the symptoms are also present with more or less intensity in many of the rest of us who feel the financial foundations crumbling under our feet. I have been hearing from retirees who are waking up in the middle of the night, panicked, to pore over diminished budgets, then fall asleep worrying that their fixed incomes will no longer permit them to live in the houses they saved a lifetime to buy. A colleague out West tells me her psychiatric inpatient service is overflowing with people whose loss of homes and jobs has undermined their precarious emotional, as well as economic, security. Meanwhile, anxious and depressed people, unable to afford gas for the long trip to the outpatient clinic, call in for more prescriptions for tranquilizers, antidepressants, and sleeping pills. And children may be just as deeply affected as their parents; according to The Washington Post, a recent national survey of 500 teenagers found that already, "70% fear 'an immediate negative impact' on the security of their families."
Former senator Phil Gramm's infamously dismissive comment declaring the US in the midst of a "mental recession" is likely to turn out to be true in a way he never intended. Financial irresponsibility and lack of oversight are indeed creating the conditions for "mental" disturbance. The associated loss of confidence and hope further threatens the trust upon which credit and the financial markets depend.
Even when trauma is reliably over, the feelings of being overwhelmed and stuck persist. Five years after the war in Kosovo, we found that 44% of all high school seniors in the Suhareka region still had symptoms of PTSD. And when stress is ongoing, its symptoms and the accompanying depression are continually reinforced. Some Americans will never recover financially or emotionally from the loss of jobs and homes and savings. Others will be long unemployed, and their misfortune and lack of income — and the emotional distress both bring — will affect businesses in their communities as well as in their own families and friends. Meanwhile, vast numbers, perhaps our entire population, will likely feel the uncertainty and vulnerability that the ongoing and deepening financial crisis is provoking — feelings that still bedevil so many who lived through the Great Depression. One recent landmark study on the influence of genetics and "life stress" showed that of all possible causes, financial setbacks were most likely to contribute to depression.
In Gaza and Israel — where the consequences and threats of terrorist bombings are ever-present — and in Kosovo and New Orleans, my colleagues and I have helped tens of thousands of fearful and vulnerable people in the midst of chaos. We teach them meditation, deep breathing and movement techniques, mental images, and exercise. Learning these techniques, they find places of calm and control within themselves, discover solutions to problems that had seemed unsolvable, and raise their depleted physical and emotional energy. Acting to help themselves, they find antidotes to the helplessness and hopelessness that are the hallmarks of depression and traumatic stress. Learning together they discover mutual support and a renewed sense of community.
In Gaza, in the most vulnerable parts of Israel, and in New Orleans, there is another factor that makes people's stress and depression — and, yes, their anger as well — so much worse. This is the sense of being dismissed and neglected by the larger world on which they had once depended.
These feelings of neglect, deception, and disrespect are only increasing as the financial crisis deepens here and expands overseas. They must be addressed. The various bailouts are initial investments in confidence as well as credit, the first signs of a public assumption of responsibility. But they are only a down payment on the far more comprehensive measures that must follow, and should only be the first step in the government's effort to regain the trust that is necessary to real recovery.
As a country, we must honestly admit to and address the causes of our crisis — greed, arrogance, and indifference. Then we must begin to pay honest, ongoing attention to the concerns of a population that feels betrayed, vulnerable, and abandoned. These steps will promote stress reduction as well as provide fiscal reassurance. Meanwhile, we have to learn, quite literally, to breathe deeply, to relax in the midst of fear and uncertainty, to trust that we, like the Israelis and Palestinians and New Orleanians, can grow and change through adversity. We cannot avoid the fear and the stress in the world in these troubled times. We can however, learn to live more peacefully with them.

NEWS RELEASE: "Landmark CMBM Randomized Controlled Trial Treating PTSD in Children Published in Journal of Clinical Psychiatry"
The Washington, DC based Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM) announced today the publication of a landmark study on the use of its comprehensive, non-drug model to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in war traumatized children. The study, "Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Post-War Kosovar Adolescents Using Mind-Body Skills Groups: A Randomized Controlled Trial," which was published today online in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry is the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) ever of any intervention with war traumatized children. It is also the first RCT of a successful, comprehensive mind-body approach with any traumatized population.
The study demonstrates that the Center's groundbreaking model can be used to produce highly significant and lasting changes in levels of stress, flashbacks, nightmares, and symptoms of withdrawal and numbing in highly traumatized children – those who lived in an area of Kosovo where in 1999 90% of the homes were burned and bombed and 20% of the children lost one or both parents.
The CMBM approach includes self-expression in words, drawings, and movement and mind-body techniques (including meditation, guided imagery, biofeedback and yoga) was offered to these children over 12 sessions in an educational, supportive small group setting. This intervention produced an approximate 80% reduction in PTSD in the treatment groups, much of which was maintained at 3 month follow-up. This is the same model that CMBM's founder and director, James S. Gordon, MD, describes in detail in his new book, Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven Stage Journey Out of Depression.
"This RCT," Dr. Gordon, the lead author, says, "is important because it provides scientific evidence for the efficacy of a model that has been taught to almost 3,000 health and mental health professionals and educators worldwide. We've used this small group model to give tens of thousands of children and adults practical tools that help them to feel better quickly, and we've taught them to use their intuition and imagination to solve problems that had seemed overwhelming. We help traumatized people around the world to draw on strengths they may have forgotten they have and we offer them a 'safe place' in which they can share their pain with others who have suffered as they have."
"This model is educational, non-stigmatizing, and powerfully effective. It can be easily taught and can be used by people of all ages on their own," Dr. Gordon explains. "It's highly acceptable to populations which do not want to be given medication, those without access to a doctor or therapist, and those who are in psychotherapy."
This model, which Dr. Gordon presents in a step-by-step self-help format in Unstuck, is currently being used by CMBM with war traumatized populations in Israel and Gaza as well as in post-Katrina southern Louisiana. It is widely used with anxious and depressed people and those with chronic illness in the US, and has already been incorporated as a stress reduction program for students in a dozen US medical schools.
The CMBM model is also of increasing interest to the US Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration. "The military," Dr. Gordon says, "understands the breadth and depth of the psychological crisis (as many as 300,000 returning veterans are expected to have posttraumatic stress disorder or major depressive disorder, and another 320,000 will have been made vulnerable to these conditions by traumatic brain injury). The military's leadership is committed to finding evidence-based approaches, like the one taught by The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, that can make a difference for the individual veteran and his/her family, an approach that can be taught to the large numbers of professionals and peer counselors who serve them." More than 100 health and mental health professionals who work with the military are expected at the next CMBM training in mind-body medicine on October 25-29 in Minneapolis, and many more are expressing interest in learning and using the CMBM model.
Let's Talk about Depression
I did an interview recently about depression, the work that I do through The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and my book, Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven Stage Journey Out of Depression. Hopefully you will find it not only informative, but helpful as well.
Speaking with James Gordon, MD
Your book begins with the assertion, "Depression is not a disease." How did you come to this conclusion?
It always seemed strange to me that anyone would describe depression as a disease. In medical school, I learned that diseases were characterized by specific physiological and biochemical abnormalities and physical changes. When I was doing autopsies and I looked at the organs of people who had diseases, I could see cancer cells, or blood clots in the arteries, or obvious changes in the pancreas of someone with insulin dependent diabetes. So far as I could tell then, and so far as I know now, this is not the case with depression. Depression, it seems to me, is a way of feeling and a set of attitudes that people develop toward the world, influenced certainly by heredity but, much more importantly, a result of their entire life experience. It is certainly not the consequence of a bacterial invasion or a specific genetic abnormality.
I found, too, that when I spent time with depressed people and helped them understand and experience the world differently that they tended to become less depressed. Their depression was a human experience and when that experience changed, their depression lifted. They were having a change of mind and a change of heart. When I myself became clinically depressed while I was in medical school, my body felt weighed down, my mind was preoccupied with guilt, and my heart was heavy. But it was clear to me that the events in my life―the end of a romantic relationship and my very mixed feelings about medical school―not some disease process was responsible for what I was feeling.
If you look at depression as a disease, you can treat it that way―and the pharmaceutical companies definitely encourage doctors to do so. But this seems, to me, an ill-considered choice. If you look at depression as a human experience from which you can learn, the possibilities are infinitely greater and, in my experience, the prognosis is far better.
You point out that there is little evidence that antidepressants are more effective in treating depression than many other, less potentially toxic approaches. Interestingly, in January the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a report that stated that doctors and patients are getting a distorted view of the effectiveness of antidepressant medications because of pharmaceutical manufacturers' suppression of negative results. And yet antidepressants are being prescribed and taken at an alarming rate. Why do you think the medical establishment continues to prescribe these drugs so commonly?
200 million prescriptions will be written in the US this year. This widespread, even epidemic use of antidepressants reminds me of the Hans Christian Andersen story of The Emperor's New Clothes. We are all, like the Emperor, his courtiers, and his subjects, in a state of collective hypnosis. The science that demonstrates the biological consequences of depression in some people and the benefit of drugs for others is the small piece of reality at the core of this illusion. It has been augmented by the desire of physicians to be of help to their patients, and relentlessly inflated by the pharmaceutical companies that profit so hugely from these drugs, and the insurance companies who realize larger financial gains by prescribing pills rather than personal counseling.
When you take a close look at the biological claims which set the stage for this mass hypnosis, another picture emerges. There are biological changes in depression―as indeed there are in joy―but these changes are inconsistent and, in any case, are far more likely the result of feelings of loss, hopelessness, and helplessness, than their cause.
The NEJM study, which actually confirms several earlier ones, is the voice of the little boy pointing out the Emperor's nakedness. When the drugs are looked at fairly―that is when the negative studies that the drug companies did not publish are counted as well as the positive ones they did publish―it turns out that antidepressant drugs do not, on average, make very much difference. In the Andersen story, after the little boy speaks up, everyone starts laughing and the scamming tailors are run out of town. But because the idea of drugs as a "quick fix" is so seductive and the pharmaceutical and insurance companies are financially motivated to continue to promote the use of antidepressants, I think it's going to take us a while longer to find our own happy ending.
Our culture does seem to be easily sold on promises of a quick fix.
Depression is incredibly painful. It's certainly understandable that we want to feel better as fast as possible. And it is a part of our culture to believe we should be able to have a quick solution and there's got to be a pill to make it happen. Some pills are fabulously useful―antibiotics for bacterial infections, for example―and they encourage us to have this belief. Still if we were paying attention for the last half century, we would have learned that those quick fixes are very often an illusion. Many so called miracle drugs―Vioxx and the FenPhen diet pills, for example―have turned out to have terrible, even life-threatening, side effects. But it's not just drugs that are problematic here. We want to be able to have it all now. And in our demand and greed, we've lost the wisdom that helps us comprehend the consequences of our actions. In the case of depression and life's other challenges, we've also lost the understanding that our suffering is sometimes both a necessary teacher and a prelude to profound, life enhancing change.
Your book explains the seven stages of your approach to healing depression without the use of antidepressants and gives a hands-on program of practices, exercises and suggestions that will relieve depression's symptoms. How did you come to develop this program?
The techniques that I use and describe in Unstuck are ones that I first learned and tested on myself. Each of them is designed to address different parts of the picture that we describe as depression: quiet breathing techniques that are an antidote to the ongoing stress response that plays such a large part in precipitating depression and making it chronic; the use of guided imagery, written exercises and drawings to open depressed people up to their intuition and to possibilities for change that had seemed beyond them; experiments with movement and exercise that break up the fixed patterns of thought and feeling that characterize depression and raise the energy of depleted and discouraged people. All of these approaches make it possible for depressed people―and those who are ordinarily confused, anxious, and troubled―to realize that they do not need to be helpless and hopeless. As you do each of these techniques, you can see and feel the change. Usually right away. Over the years, I've created clear instructions and a logical sequence for these techniques, both of which I present in Unstuck. What I do in my office, and in the book, is to give people a step-by-step experience of these approaches and of their benefits.
How do you encourage people to shift their thinking and take an active, effective role in their own healing?
My experience is that if you offer them the opportunity, most people want to take an active part in their own healing. This is particularly true after they've seen that what they've been doing isn't working so well. We've created a social belief that the power to heal lies in the hands of the experts, the doctors. In the case of depression, and indeed of many chronic conditions, this is simply not true. Silver bullets are very rare. I find that the people I work with are first amazed, and then deeply satisfied, when I tell them they have the capacity to help themselves―especially when they actually experience the positive changes they can make. I know it's very hard when you're really depressed―I've been there―but I also know that the small changes in belief or action (breathing more slowly and deeply, going for a brief walk, etc,) can brighten your outlook and be the basis for ever-more significant and broader changes. I think one of the most important things I do in Unstuck is to say it is possible to change―and then show how people just like the reader, and in many cases far worse off than the reader, have accomplished just that.
Would you explain the concept behind integrative medicine?
Perhaps the most important, and often neglected, aspect of integrative medicine is its emphasis on the wholeness, the integrity, of each person. This is fundamental to all great systems of healing, including, of course, our Western medicine, but it has unfortunately been neglected. We have tended to focus too much on the particular biological abnormalities, on the parts. We have neglected to appreciate how all those parts are connected in each of us, in the thinking, feeling, acting human being who is far greater than the sum of his parts.
Integrative medicine is an approach that includes all of the world's healing traditions and combines and carefully individualizes them to the person who is coming for help. The approach that I describe in Unstuck, for example, integrates meditation techniques from several cultures with modern ways of expressing emotions; Chinese medical therapies that are thousands of years old with the latest information on the use of vitamins, minerals, and other supplements; and a group approach that combines ancient tribal wisdom with the modern, democratic emphasis on each person's capacity to help and understand herself.
You are a Harvard-trained psychiatrist. How did you first become involved in integrative medicine?
My involvement began 45 years ago during the first months of that Harvard training. I deeply respected the expertise of our faculty, but I was also troubled by the way that many of them treated patients. I felt they focused too exclusively on the patients' laboratory values and physical findings and was troubled by their apparent indifference to the human beings who were lying on the beds around which we stood. I found that I was at least as interested in who my patients were as in the diagnoses they had been given.
As a third year medical student, I was actively questioning the disease model of depression and other psychiatric conditions, and began to explore ways to help my patients to understand and help themselves. By the time I finished my psychiatric residency and began work as a researcher at the National Institute Mental Health in 1971, I was already exploring meditation, yoga, nutrition, and Chinese medicine―for myself, then, as time went on, I began to use these techniques with other people. For a couple of years, I had a weekly free clinic in my home. After awhile, I began to integrate these approaches into everything that I was doing―working with troubled teenagers and their families at NIMH as well as in my private practice.
You've helped many thousands of people who've been depressed and traumatized by war and disaster in places such as Kosovo, Israel, Gaza, and post-9/11 New York City and post-Katrina New Orleans. How is this work related to the program you describe in Unstuck?
The program The Center for Mind-Body Medicine uses for people traumatized by war and other disasters is very much the same as the one I describe in Unstuck. As a matter of fact, I'm giving the first few copies of Unstuck to the leaders of our programs in Israel, Gaza, Kosovo and New Orleans. I'm so pleased with Unstuck because I've been able to gather so many of the techniques I use, together with stories which show how people successfully use these techniques, as well as a Resources section to support readers on their journey, all together in one book for the first time.
One of the things about this approach is how well it translates across cultures, ages, and economic groups, both here in the US and overseas. I believe that in Unstuck, I'm speaking a universal language of self-discovery and self-healing that just about anybody can understand and benefit from.
Is your approach only for those who are diagnosed as clinically depressed?
It was very important to me to write a book for people who are feeling the helplessness and hopelessness of clinical depression. Though there are certainly other self-help books, it seemed to me that one was needed that was both practical and inspirational, as well as authoritative and scientifically grounded. I wanted people who were feeling overwhelmed and lonely to have a friendly guide on whom they could lean at every step as they moved on their journey through and beyond depression.
At the same time, I was aware as I was writing Unstuck, that it was also a guide for anyone who wanted to learn from the challenges that inevitably arise in all our lives, a guide that could help each of us to find our way to greater wholeness and happiness. This book is also for people who do not consider themselves depressed but are simply sad or dissatisfied with their lives. Many thousands of people who were not depressed―health professionals, medical students, people with physical problems, and spiritual seekers among them―have used the Unstuck approach happily and successfully.

Paula M.MarylandHairLight BrownThick or Coarse HairHeat RollersI ordered these Conair super sized rollers to get a larger, softer curl, which they did do a good job of producing. However, there were a couple things about the curlers that I didn't like and so I decided to return them. There are two large sizes of rollers and two sizes of pins, but the pins are not color coded or anything so I did a lot of fumbling with the pins to find the right size while trying to hold a hot roller on my head with the other hand. When I used the wrong pin, a larger pin on the smaller curler, the curler fell out and I spent some time trying to push a smaller pin onto the larger size curler. I suppose I could have sorted the pins in the first place and that would have solved the proble, but I didn't know I would have to do that and it made for a frustrating experience. Also, there is no place to store the pins in the roller box so that would be a problem when traveling with it. There is a red light that shows that the curlers are turned on, but no indication of when they are "ready." In all, I thought the old Conair set I had with a few large rollers was still good enough to do about the same job that this one did. Also, the rollers got very hot and the plastic ends to grab them with were not wide enough to keep from burning my fingers. They did seem to heat up very quickly, though as I said, there wasn't any way to know when they were actually ready to use. This is a good product, just didn't meet my expectations at the time.posted Jul 9, 2012Link to this post
NinaHairBlondeColor Treated HairThick or Coarse Hair:( Only OkayI have really thick and long hair. I usually blow dry it straight before I curl it since I have a natural body wave, but I have a LOT of volume. I liked the size of these rollers but the clips did NOT hold them on my head. I feel that if Conair included the butterfly clips, the rollers would have held tighter on my head to get me the type of look I was going for. I did get some volume and some body, but I did have to tease. My mom even tried them and the metal clips did squat to hold in her hair too. Her hair is fine as a baby's and way shorter than mine. I'll be returning and getting the Babyliss.posted Jun 8, 2012Link to this post

CrystalHairDark BrownCurly HairWorks GreatI love conair's hot rollers.. my mom has this set & I haven't tried them, yet but I have a set of the purple jumbo rollers and a set of the blue assorted size rollers and both work wonderfully, still, and I've had them since 2006. the only thing that I really don't like about conair's hot rollers are the metal clips that come with them because even though I've mastered the technique of putting them in so they'll stay, everytime, I feel like it's bad for my scalp and I really don't wanna go bald one day because of it, so I wish it had come with butterfly clips.posted Feb 10, 2012Link to this post
Julie P.United StatesHairDark BrownNormal HairThick or Coarse HairJust OkayI purchased this set after reading all the great reviews. I am an avid hot rollers user and this was just okay for me. It does give me a nice pump at the roots, but doesn't do much for curls. I always go in afterward with my curling iron(s) to achieve a much more desirable curl. Some cons are: the clips are pretty tricky to use (plus: the heat transfers so it burns the scalp! Using butterfly clips solves this problem though) and 12 pieces just isn't enough for a full head of hair! It only covers half of my head... Although, the heat up time is impressive. I didn't mind paying the inexpensive price tag either, but had I known... I would have saved me money to invest in another set.posted Feb 9, 2012Link to this post
KelliOhioHairMedium BrownThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairThis Will Be My Backup Roller SetI bought these because I wanted slightly larger rollers than I already had. Turns out what I had is right between the two sizes in this set. The larger super-jumbo ones in this set give my hair (thick, layered, medium-length) body and not much curl, whereas the smaller jumbo ones make it too curly at the ends. I will continue to use my original set but keep this set for when I want a less or more curly style. Note, because of other reviews I bought the Conair Pro clips, but I found that the set's clips kept the rollers in my hair pretty well, but that may be because it's longer and thick. You can't go wrong with getting the Pro Clips, though, just in case you need them for your hair type, and they also can help keep flyaway hairs on the roller and keep the heat off your skin around your face.posted Dec 10, 2011Link to this post
Kathy M.Really Disappointed!My hair is shoulder length, average thickness. These rollers burn my scalp. I can't get them to stay in with the pins they came with or the clips I ordered that are supposed to work well with them. They give me a decent curl and the body I want but they are such an aggravation to use. I am currently looking for a set to replace them. I should have sent these back.posted Nov 30, 2011Link to this post
WyndeHairMedium BrownYou Get What You Pay For!I could not get the curlers to stay in my hair. I tried rolling it different ways and they just would not stay. Very Disappointed!posted Nov 18, 2011Link to this post
StefanieHorrible!!!I tried these curlers for the first time this morning. I was tired of curling my long thick hair with a curling iron for about 40 minutes. So, I rolled my hair with these. My fingers are burnt, the clips didn't keep the curlers in well at all and when I took them out after 30 minutes my hair was straight as a board!!! I was very disappointed and plan on trying to return these.posted Oct 4, 2011Link to this post
JillCAHairMedium BrownNormal HairLong Hair?I had these a few years ago, but they were all the jumbo sized, and they work great! I just ordered these & the only problem I had with these is that my hair is layered and just past my shoulders & the "Super-Jumbo" curlers are too big for my hair. There are 4 of the "Super-Jumbo" size - I'm sure they would be perfect for longer hair.posted Aug 31, 2011Link to this post

Question: Vehicle won't start/stay on
Before my car decided not to stay on anymore, I would be drving and as I switched gears and sped up, the car felt like it lost force and would glide for a couple seconds then would get back to normal. It finally just didn't stay on anymore. I switched my battery with another car battery and my car started up like nothing was wrong! I'm confused and not sure what could be causing this to happen. Any ideas??? Someone told me it could be the fuel pump but I'm not sure...

Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future would be my top pick. I am looking forward to the new TV show too.
Forgive me if this was done before, but just for fun, if Mattel was able to do another action figure line is their MOTU/Ghostbusters/DC style, what would you like? Personally, I'd would like them to do one based on Capcom's Street Fighter/Final Fight/Darkstalkers universe. I know it's similar to what SOTA did, but it's been a long time and despite it's awesome count, not everyone made it. I like the MOTU porpotions anyway. What would some of you like to see, no matter how unlikely?

let me add Wheeled Warriors, I really liked the toys and toon. I recently found out they were so rushed to do the toon that they got away with things they shouldn't have because they hd no time to pass it through a strong censoring process.

Well, they've announced a 1960's Batman line, so that's my biggest one right there.
I'd also like to see a full Dk. Tracy line, similar to the old '90s Playmates one, but less cartoony and with a broad character base. (But most of them would still be guys in suits, so it'll never happen.)
Masters of the Universe minimates would be another big one.
"That's very interesting...but silly."
Thundercats and Bravestarr.
I also want a new Matt Mason line, in the same scale and style as the Four Horsemen's Outer Space Men.
Silver hawks
Redo the secret wars line in motuc size.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Post your local rank (Allentown, Lancaster, York, Philly, Pittsburgh, Erie, Harrisburg, Reading, Scranton, Pennsylvania) here at: http://www.pennsylvaniagasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1220&topic=480991 as your points increase, from time to time post your rank and see where others are ranked! It's amazing how fast a GB can move up the ranks (but so few do) getting 975 points each day, if you're interested in moving up to the next level sooner! If interested in posting to other forum topics, click on the blue "Forum" link to select from various subjects in "Off Topic" or "Just For Fun" of your choosing to gain extra points each day! Thanks gas buddy!
Keep going like an Allentown PRO GasBuddy adding to your consecutive days and forum posts numbers each day! Glad to see you continue moving up in points towards your next car level! Keep posting, it's nice seeing GBs come back each day! Have a nice week! Thanks gas buddy!
Being a GasBuddy is pretty easy, just post 5 gas prices each day from a few local gas stations! Not much to that, that's pretty easy! Many GasBuddies say they don't care about points and prove it by getting much less than 750 points each day, or dropping out soon after they become a GB, or before they get to 500k! 273,750 points is the total a GasBuddy would be accumulating in 1 year just posting 5 gas prices each day! Pretty easy! Accumulating consecutive days by posting 5 gas prices each day is just an indicator as GasBuddies post gas prices for others that come and use GasBuddy each day, JUST LIKE YOU, and deserve FRESH GAS prices posted each day by dedicated GasBuddies providing a service for many others seeking lower gas prices, JUST LIKE YOU! IT'S REALLY NOT ABOUT THE POINTS! But, by getting the maximum points (975) each day will enable a GB to get to the NEXT CAR LEVEL SOONER, if you're interested in getting there SOONER! Thanks gas buddy!
Do you vote each week here on GasBuddy in "This Week's Opinion Poll?" You get 100 points each week just for the poll. The majority points come from posting only 5 gas prices at 150 points each for 750 points EACH DAY. The easiest points come from just clicking on 5 news articles at 25 points each; go to the Home page, left side middle and click on each link! As you post to the different forums, like "Just For Fun" or news articles, your points will increase gaining you extra points towards your next car level SOONER! and your "Forum Posts" numbers will show an INCREASE EACH DAY! See "My Points Statistics" page for more information on all the ways to earn points on GasBuddy! Hope this helps you to get more points on GasBuddy each day, if you're interested, it would be nice to see all GBs getting 975 points each day! Thanks!
Welcome to GasBuddy and great job on your consecutive days so far!

The Meaning of the Bible: What the Jewish Scriptures and Christian Old Testament Can Teach Us (Hardcover)
In this lively and fresh introduction to the scriptures of ancient Israel (what Christians call the Old Testament and Jews call the Tanakh), two preeminent biblical scholars, Douglas A. Knight and Amy-Jill Levine, combine their passion and expertise to examine not just what the Bible says but what it means. Through their eyes we see anew the Bibles literary brilliance, moral profundity, historical settings, and implications for our faiths and our future.
Passed down for generations, compiled between 500 and 100 BCE, and finalized around the time of Jesus, the various accounts in the Hebrew Bible took shape under a variety of cultures. Drawing on their extensive biblical scholarship, Knight and Levine explore this diverse history and equip us with the critical tools necessary to understand what the ancient texts originally meant. With long experience in teaching candidates for the ministry as well as undergraduate and graduate students, they also explore the possible meanings the texts hold today for churches, synagogues, and anyone interested in the Bibles legacy.
Knight and Levine begin with the broader biblical storyits historical context, literary artistry, and geographical setting. They then turn to the major biblical themes with which modern readers continue to wrestle: law and justice, human evil and Gods response, belief and practice, chaos and creation, war and peace, gender and sexuality, politics and economics, practical wisdom and apocalyptic vision. For each topic, they provide both general overviews and specific analyses of select biblical passages, explaining how and why their approaches reveal new insights and offering various strategies for informed interpretation.
Throughout, Knight and Levine inspire us to ask new questions and develop a deeper understanding of one of the greatest collections of literature known to humankindas illuminating today as it was two thousand years ago.
About the Author
Douglas A. Knight is Drucilla Moore Buffington Professor of Hebrew Bible and professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University. Knight is the author of Law, Power, and Justice in Ancient Israel and Rediscovering the Traditions of Israel.
Amy-Jill Levine is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University and affiliate faculty at the Centre for the Study of Jewish-Christian Relations in Cambridge, UK. Levine is the author of The Misunderstood Jew and served as co-editor of The Jewish Annotated New Testament.
Praise for The Meaning of the Bible: What the Jewish Scriptures and Christian Old Testament Can Teach Us…
"Amy-Jill Levine and Douglas A. Knight have combined to write a book on the Bible that is as academically brilliant as it is marvelously entertaining. By placing our scriptures into their original Jewish context they have opened up startling and profound new insights. This is a terrific book."
-John Shelby Spong, author of Re-Claiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World
"More than random facts about the Hebrew Bible . . . more than a historical overview . . . [t]hey are aiming for true understanding of the life, culture, and practices of the ancient Israelites."
"A winsome, accessible introduction to the theological thought of the Hebrew Bible. This sort of irenic, thoughtful linkage of criticism and interpretation within a confessing tradition is exactly what we most need in Scripture reading."
-Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus, Columbia Theological Seminary
"From its superb introduction to its perfectly worded conclusion, this book does it all. Whether your interest in the Bible is historical or literary, specific texts or broad themes, this book has it—and conveys its relevance for today. "
-Richard Elliott Friedman, author of Who Wrote the Bible? and The Bible Now
"Provides new knowledge on the Bible's rich diversity of teaching on sexuality, familial and ethnic discord, political corruption, religious infidelity, economic exploitation as well as the nature of God, faith, love, and social justice. It is both enlightening and inspiring."
-Peter J. Paris, the Elmer G. Homrighausen Professor of Christian Social Ethics, Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
"A book we have needed for years - learned and accessible, clearly organized by the topics readers care about, and fully engaged with current discussions of deep and broad significance."
-William Brosend, Executive Director, the Episcopal Preaching Foundation
"If anyone thinks the fruit of biblical scholarship is esoteric and heavy reading, direct that person to this book. In it, Knight and Levine demonstrate both their scholarly proficiency and their expertise as seasoned educators. This book should appeal to a broad audience."
-Dianne Bergant, CSA, Catholic Theological Union
"Knight and Levine have done a marvelous job of taking very sophisticated material and presenting it in an illuminating and thoroughly engaging way that bespeaks of excellent scholarship by two distinguished teachers."
-Carol J. Dempsey, OP, Ph.D, Professor of Theology, University of Portland, and author of Reading the Bible, Transforming Conflict
"A highly accessible . . . survey that is in tune with current scholarship."

DENVER (AP) – The number of homeless people in Colorado increased nearly 11 percent between 2011 and 2012, while the national homeless rate remained largely unchanged, according to a report released by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In metro Denver, the problem is worse.
The number of people sleeping on the streets more than doubled between 2011 and 2012, according to the 2012 Point in Time report from Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, to 964 from 411.
"There was a slight increase in the newly homeless and those homeless for the first time," said Linda Barringer, a MDHI board member.
Newly homeless is defined as being homeless within the last 30 days. The first-time homeless person may have been without housing for a much longer period but had not been homeless before.
In Colorado, the situation of homeless veterans is improving, decreasing 27 percent between 2011 and 2012 to 1,512 from 2,074, according to HUD.
In metro Denver, the number of homeless veterans increased slightly, to 12.9 percent from 11.7 percent, according to the MDHI.
But strategy is in place.
"We've seen a lot of effort and a lot of money going into housing vets," said Barringer, who lauds the partnership between HUD and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
In November, the MDHI joined the national movement of communities involved in the 100,000 Homes campaign, which aims to find permanent homes for 100,000 chronically homeless people by 2014.
In metro Denver, the work is focused on homeless veterans, and the homeless initiative developed a "vulnerability index" by collecting data for a month at many locations – including shelters, food banks and the annual Homeless Veterans Stand Down.
The detailed survey "determines those most likely to die on the streets," Barringer said.
Interviews at the stand-down were particularly distressing, she said. Most vets had been "generally homeless for a very long time, and some had multiple and significant health issues like liver disease and diabetes."
Some said they had visited emergency rooms as many as 30 times in the previous year.
The MDHI still is preparing its report, with the hope of fostering change using the economic argument of high medical costs for homeless vets.
In October, a three-day Rapid Results Housing Placement Boot Camp united groups such as the MDHI and Denver's Road Home with outreach teams and regional experts from HUD and the VA to figure out how to shorten the time required to move a homeless vet into housing.
It capitalized on the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program (VASH), which provides vouchers and case management to house homeless veterans.
Davida Barlow, a 37-year-old single mother, is one veteran who benefited from the partnership. A Navy veteran who served during the mid-1990s, she was working as a bus driver in Colorado Springs when unexpected car problems threw her into financial crisis.
The rent money went to fixing the brakes on the car, and she ended up homeless.
She and her two children moved from shelter to shelter until March, when she landed a place at the Del Norte homes in Denver through the HUD-VASH program.
"I love it," said Barlow, now enrolled at Front Range Community College. "It's beautiful – three bedrooms and fully furnished. It's such a blessing."

Type Functions: Implementation Status
Debugging of type family patch:
- boxySplitTyConApp and friends must be able to deal with orig_tys that have outermost type family applications; i.e., they need to try to normalise and possibly have to defer. They also need to defer on skolems. Consequently, they also need to return a coercion. This , in particular, affects the treatment of literal lists, parallel arrays, and tuples inTcExpr.tcExpr is fishy.
- Fix core-lint breakage in cholewo-eval.
- The tests tcfail068 and rw used to raise more type errors right away. Now, we see less recovery.
- To fix Roman's GADT1 test, proceed as follows (as suggested by SPJ):
- TcGadt.uUnrefined: the occurs check needs to be more subtle. If the variable occurs, but does so under a type family application, do not fail, but just defer.
- This requires a function Types.tyVarsOfTypeDefinite that returns only those variables not occurring under type family applications.
- Moreover, the unification monad UM must be extended to be able to collect EqInst for later insertion into the LIE.
- We may have to do the same for other occurs checks.
- And we definitely need the whole deferral machinery for the GADT unification in TcGadt.
- Add more details about type families to the HaskellWiki page; especially, the constraints on decidable type instances and -fallow-undecidable-instances.
- Add some wiki documentation of how inference with type families works.
Parsing and Renaming
Todo (low-level): None.
Todo (high-level):
- Defaults for associated type synonyms. (Having both a kind signature and vanilla synonym is problematic as in RnNames.getLocalDeclBinders its hard to see that not both of them are defining declarations, which leads to a multiple declarations error. Defaults are quite different from vanilla synonyms anyway, as they usually have tyvars on their rhs that do not occur on the lhs.)
- Parsing and renaming of kind signatures (toplevel and in classes).
- Parsing and renaming of indexed type declarations (toplevel and in classes).
- Using new syntax with family and instance on top level.
- Added -findexed-types switch.
- Allowing type tag in export lists to list associated types in the sub-binder list of an import/export item for a class.
- Import/export lists: ATs can be listed as subnames of classes and the data constructors of instances of a data family are subnames of that family.
- Parsing and renaming of equational constraints in contexts.
Type Checking
Todo (low-level):
- Enforce syntactic constraints on type instances needed to ensure the termination of constraint entailment checking.
- If an associated synonym has a default definition, use that in the instances. In contrast to methods, this cannot be overridden by a specialised definition. (Confluence requires that any specialised version is extensionally the same as the default.)
Todo (high-level):
- Type checking of type functions (and hence, associated type synonyms); routines in TcUnify that still need to be extended:
- boxySplitTyConApp: The second argument (BoxyRhoType) can be a synonym family application. Then, we must produce a wanted coercion and return a HsWrapper value that applies that coercion.
- boxySplitAppTy: Basically, the same deal as the previous.
- Type checking in the presence of associated synonym defaults. (Default AT synonyms are only allowed for ATs defined in the same class.)
- Type check functional dependencies as type functions.
- Kind and type checking of kind signatures.
- Kind and type checking of instance declarations of indexed types, including the generation of representation tycons.
- Wrapper generation and type checking of pattern matching for indexed data and newtypes.
- Consistency checking for family instances.
Todo (low-level): None.
Todo (high-level): None.
- Representation of family kind signatures as TyCon.TyCons.
- Extension of Class.Class by associated TyCons.
- Extension of TyCon.TyCon with a reference to the parent TyCon for data instances.
- Extension of DataCon.DataCon with instance types for constructors belonging to data instances.
- Extension of TyCon.TyCon such that the parent of a data instance is paired with a coercion identifying family instance and representation type.
- For indexed data types, the datacon wrapper uses data instance coercion and pattern matching casts the scrutinee via an ExprCoFn in a CoPat.
- Import and exporting.
- Generation and plumbing through of rough matches.
- Equational constraints in contexts.
*OLD* Regression tests of type family patches
[This is outdated pre-merge info just kept around for a while.]
Current validate result:
Unexpected passes: Class1(normal) GADT2(normal) Unexpected failures: Refl2(normal) Simple5a(normal) rw(normal) tcfail065(normal) tcfail068(normal) tcfail071(normal) tcfail076(normal) tcfail102(normal) tcfail103(normal) tcfail153(normal) tcfail179(normal)
- Class1: VALID. (Only marked to fail in head to keep validate happy.)
- GADT2: VALID. (Only marked to fail in head to keep validate happy.)
- Relf2: VALID. Type family BUG.
- Simple5a: VALID. Error message changed.
break001: INVALID. GHC panic instead of printing error message about ambiguous variable.break006: INVALID. Seems to be the same problem as break001.print019: INVALID. Seems to be the same problem as break001.- rw: VALID. Changed error message. Reports one error less. Other one is pruned, but still raised if the first one is removed.
tc210: INVALID (matching forall a.a -> Int against `Int -> Int fails).tc211: INVALID (tests impredicative types).tcfail046: VALID. Changed error message, BUT the new error message has one more type synonym unfolding, which should be avoided.- tcfail065: VALID. Cosmetic difference, as tidy names are assigned in different order.
- tcfail068: VALID. Reports two errors less (probably due to different recovery points). Yes, I checked that its not that it admits incorrect programs, but just due to different order of checking/pruning of errors.
- tcfail071: VALID. Now reports one instead of two errors as deferred unification is checked only after the contexts of mutually recursive groups have been unified. (The latter is what this test case is really about, and it still works fine for that.)
- tcfail076: VALID. Same as tcfail065.
- tcfail102: VALID.
- tcfail103: VALID. Error message is actually better!
tcfail128: VALID. Same as tcfail046.tcfail145: VALID. Error message got worse.- tcfail153: VALID. Error message is different, but equally correct and accurate. The type mismatch manifests itself at two different subexpressions. Due to a different traversal order, we now report the error at the other subexpression.
- tcfail179: VALID. If anything, the error message improved.
- while: VALID. Works if definition of succeed gets a type signature Monad m => a -> m a. The error seems to be due to the new GADT rules about annotations, but the error message is a bit strange; ie, need to be improved.
Regression tests that are not part of the fast run:
- cholewo-eval: core-lint breakage

Love them
Great shoes... So comfy for work and they go with anything
September 26, 2013
Comfy and Unique
I normally wear a size 8-9. In these, I was a size 8.5 They were comfortable and relatively modest in height- unlike previous limited pumps. They look great in business casual and they add a little funk to what could be a very straightforward suit.
September 18, 2013
Seriously my new favorite shoes!!!
I ordered this pair of shoes online, and was even more excited when I saw them in person. They fit true to size and are super comfortable. I've already gotten several compliments on them, and they go with just about everything. I'm grabbing another pair to have on reserve before they're all sold out!
July 12, 2013
Absolutely love, love, love
These shoes are GREAT and go with everything!! They run a tad big, I ordered the 7 and sent them back for the 6.5. They run true to size so order your regular size and don't size up.
June 26, 2013
Beautiful heels! Perfect for work!
These heels look very sophisticated and classy in person. They are absolutely perfect for me to wear to work. I normally wear a size 7 in heels, but after reading the reviews that said the heels ran a bit small, I ordered a size 7.5. I should have ordered my normally size, a 7. They are true to size. The 7.5 is a little big, as I will have to add something to keep them from slipping off my heel. I wouldn't classify these as comfortable since there isn't much/any padding in them. However, they are tolerable and will feel better after they are broken in. The cork design is a must-have!
June 26, 2013
A keeper!
I almost did not order this shoe because of the heel height - 4". I work in a conservative environment where I need to be taken seriously and in my opinion, 4" heels are for the bars and the streets and the fashion shows! My curiosity got the best of me and I ordered them anyway. Wore them all day today at work (which is mostly sedentary) and discovered that besides the good neutral look of this shoe (not too showy) it is surprisingly not too uncomfortable. No I would not play kickball in them -- or even walk the mile home that I have to --- but for walking across the street to a deli for lunch, they were OK. And I don't think I looked too weird or off when I walked in them, which is how I think a lot of women look when their heels are too high. I have wide-ish feet, and the rounded toe of this show makes these not hurt as some of my pointy pumps do. The way the opening was cut near the toe, as well, was wide enough and did not cut into my skin in any weird way. Overall, a keeper, and I am glad I got them!
June 5, 2013
More fashion than form..
These are my first pair of limited shoes. When I saw the cork, I had to have them. I wear a 10.5, though, so my only option was the 11. They are well made, but do run a little small, so I wasn't able to add the insoles I like. I am going to have to figure something out, though, because the faux leather sole makes my feet sweat, and that forces them to slide into the front of the shoe, which is even less comfortable. They are high, and nicely elongate my calves, but I'd prefer a little more cushioning on the ball of the foot.
I will keep them, as they are really cute, but these are definitely not for everyday.
