Millions of people across the country drink recycled sewage every day. That's the nature of water--it just gets recycled.
Maybe I just find this odd because I was always under the impression that every city did it this way. When I was little, one of my uncles worked at the waste water treatment plant in a small city on a small river in the middle of the country. I thought it was common knowledge that the water flowing in the water treatment plant (for city taps) came from the river, and the water flowing from the waste water treatment plant flowed back into the river. So we were drinking the treated waste water from towns and cities upriver, and the towns and cities downriver were drinking ours. So we had a valid interest in the proper operation of treatment plants upriver, and those downriver had a valid interest in ours.
My uncle used to tell me how he would sometimes have to give tours, which were billed as sort of educational exchanges, for people from other treatment plants in the state who wanted to visit. But they were always only from the treatment plants down-river--it was sort of spy/audit trip. And that was considered okay, our city did the same thing. Keep in mind this is a pretty small river, not an extreme amount of dilution going on here.
Are there any cities that truly have a landfill of sorts for treated sewage water? A place where it can go that it will not end up back in the drinking water? Because I think that is what would be extremely rare.
I think CA politicians are marketing this all wrong and causing resistance where there shouldn't be any. This is just how it's done. Water gets recycled. There is no absolutely pure water source unless you create it in a lab. How the water you intend to drink is treated is the key.
In some places in the US, this is the case with water rights, but not in any place I know of in the Bay Area. Berkeley and Oakland actively support the installation of rainwater recapture systems.
How is this modded as flamebait? What is wrong with new Slashdotters?
Mobile sites suck. Many people agree. This is the reason Apple implemented the iOS 8 feature "Request Desktop Site" in Safari. So that people can manually bypass crappy mobile sites. They didn't bother to implement the feature just for the hell of it. It was because people wanted it. Badly.
Not only do mobile sites suck, they are obsolete except perhaps on newer platforms, like a watch or augmented reality (remains to be seen). Phones and tablets now have both the screen space and processing power to handle a real web site. "Request Desktop Site" is pretty much automatic for me these days.
I think this really is the important question. Tech visionaries often fall into the trap of not figuring what people actually want into their estimates of how quickly and widely a new technology will be adapted. The politicians who make these rules (or appoint the people who do) are in the business of being re-elected. They are going to go with what the majority wants on this issue, and right now, the vast majority or non-techie people are very, very afraid of self-driving technology. Yes, I agree that will eventually change, but it will likely be very slow. Many, many regulatory decisions have been made not based on the prevailing science of the time, but on what people were willing to accept. Nuclear power has a lot of benefits, but it is not widely adapted because people don't want it anywhere near them. When it comes to drugs, alcohol is perfectly legal while pot (in most states, and for many years) is not. Based on science? Nope, just based on what the majority of people want at the time.

It's generally a good idea to cultivate good relationships with a few key headhunters, even if you love your job and have no interest in leaving. You never know when things might change and you will need those relationships. After you get passed over for that promotion you feel you deserved, or after you get assigned a complete jerk as a boss, or after you don't get a raise, or after the company folds...those are not good times to be reaching out to a headhunter for the first time, especially if you've been rude to them in the past. This means (gasp) accepting a phone call and chatting for a few minutes. Some of them are nice folks. You learn a little about them, you tell them a little bit about yourself and why you like your current job. If they have an open position, maybe you give them the contact info of one or two of your buddies who are not so lucky to be currently in a job they love. You give them a heads up if your company is actively recruiting for a role. Maybe drop the name of the hiring manager. They will appreciate it, and they will remember you.
Some people like to complain that getting good jobs is "more about who you know than what you know." This is true, but nothing is stopping anyone from cultivating those same relationships. It is fair game. It doesn't require superpower social skills. You don't have to be an extrovert. I certainly am not. Just, you know, be a decent human being and take the time to talk to people for a few minutes. I did not get my current job (which I love) through a headhunter, but I know my current boss is friendly with a particular headhunter who is pretty big in my niche and ran my name past them before I got hired. I got the thumbs up. What goes around comes around.
Directors have certain fiduciary duties to all shareholders of a company. One type of breach of those fiduciary duties is usurpation of a corporate opportunity. The idea is that you can't use your position on a board to benefit yourself or your other business interests, to the detriment of the company or its shareholders. There are definitely potential legal issues here.
This is just ridiculous. I used to walk or ride my bike to and from school every day from when I was in third grade onward, so about the same age. The distance was about a mile. I remember the library being within the limits set of where I could bike by myself, and that was probably about a mile, if not a little more. This was in a suburban area.
This relates to a previous story I posted in an unrelated thread about the police: I live in an urban area, and I've been stopped more than once by police who warned me that it was dangerous to walk alone, in the middle of the day, IN MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD (I guess because I'm white). I'm clearly a grown woman, in my thirties. Let individuals make their own choices. Sheesh. We don't need all these danger mongers. Yes, bad things DO happen, but in reality it's just not that often.
I'm not a doubter on climate change, but I definitely approach all scientific studies with skepticism these days. Business school professors are the absolute worst. They are almost all for sale. I remember talking to an economics professor at Columbia Business School named Charlie Calomiris. It was late in summer of 2007, and I remember the conversation well because he was trying to argue that home prices at the time were not going to go down despite the early subprime issues (Countrywide, Bear Sterns hedge funds, etc.) In fact, he was planning to write a paper explaining this, and the co-author was to be none other than Glenn Hubbard, the dean at the time and also an economist. Of course, the bottom fell out of the market before they could publish the paper. The sponsor of this "research" was the The National Association of Realtors. Go figure. And yes, I'm naming names here because it was absolutely egregious. I was embarrassed to be associated with the university. And this BS happens ALL the time.
Yeah, in the US at least, the tax ruling that explicitly categorizes bitcoin as a security and not currency puts bitcoin squarely within the jurisdiction of the SEC. Not to mention that any single state attorney general could take up the issue if he/she chose to do so.
I think R is similar. R is not as well known as many other languages, but it serves a very important purpose and is getting more and more popular every day. I know some people who as adults are "learning to code" for the first time right now for their jobs. Why? We are starting to get into territory where every business person worth their salt needs to have some familiarity with data science.
As far as the Black/not Black thing....you may think it is deeply offensive/racist. Others may look at it as getting shot or not getting shot.
I agree with this. Some cops are just the bullying sort. That inherent tendency seems to be what draws some people to the professionsion, so there is a much higher percentage of psychopaths among cops than in the general population. But the way they go about harassing different people varies by race. For black people, it tends to be more rampant, more obvious and more physical. Anyone who lives ina large urban area has probably witnessed an incident firsthand. It is reality.
That is not to say that many [probably most] cops are not bullies to other people when they can be. They definitely are. The post above is right when they say cops are often just looking for people to get aggressive and give them an excuse. It is more challenging to them when people are defiant but very polite. And part of that response is cultural.
I have lived in Bed-Stuy for many years. Why I live here is a long story. Suffice to say I like it here. For those who don't know, this is an area of NYC that has historically had a relatively high crime rate. Most of the residents on my block are black. I am white. It gives me an interesting perspective. It is difficult to explain the psychological effects of police profiling to someone who has never witnessed it.
Small example: If I take the subway home, I get off the train, there is an officer there. Watching. You don't see this on the Upper East Side. No big deal, right? This is great. Well, maybe for me. I give a small smile when I walk by. He or she smiles back. This officer doesn't really make me feel safer. If anything, they make me feel more likely to witness an altercation. But, at least I know how not to get a bad reaction out of them.
Most other residents don't smile. What in their knowledge of or history with the police would make them want to smile? They are suspicous of the police. This fear/suspicion/distrust shows on their faces. The response they get from the police: A nasty look that says more than I can explain. It says not to make one wrong move. It says I have complete power over you. Just a couple of years ago, it said it was completely legal for me to stop you and frisk you at any time, and if you resist--and I hope you do--I will throw you against the wall with all the strength I have. If you think a look can't say that, come pay a visit to Bed-Stuy. If police made me feel that way, how would I respond? I don't know.
The police bother and annoy me, too, but in a very different way that is not comparable. At least four or five different times when I was just walking down the street near my apartment, a cop car has pulled up slowly beside me, rolled down his window (it has always been a man, never a woman cop), and asked me what I was doing in the neighborhood. Like I'm a lost puppy or something. Too stupid to know I shouldn't be here. Most cops on this beat know me by now, I guess, but when there's a new guy, this can happen. I explain that I live here. I explain that I'm in a hurry. They proceed to inform me about how dangerous the area is. I nod. Thanks. Appreciate it. See you around. Hold on, they say. They drag on the conversation. This is not about helping me. This is about their power trip mindset.
Now, from all of this, you must think I live in a third world country. This is how cops treat it. But I am a fan of statistics. Some facts: Statistically, Bed-Stuy is only slightly less safe than the Upper East Side. Who would have thought? And in all the years I have lived here, no one has ever, ever given me a hard time about anything--except the police. I walk by, people nod, say hello.
The way policy treat black people is different. The way the police see black neighborhoods is different. That is just the reality.
This is so true. And the feedback has been like this and has been so consistent for so long... I can't understand why Microsoft hasn't already reversed course on some of this madness. I mean, are they TRYING to give Apple market share? Because it's working. I still use a PC desktop much of the time, but my new laptop is a Mac, and I really like it. I never thought I would go Mac. And when Yosemite comes out this fall, it will integrate more fully with my phone and my tablet. Now, when it comes time for me to upgrade my desktop... will I build a new PC? or will I just get a Mac Pro? I really can't say at this point.
Memory fault - where am I?

In an article on President Bush's threat to veto legislation expanding federal funding for stem cell research, Time magazine reported that "you could argue" that Bush "has made a career of ... holding fast to positions that many voters reject, as a sign of strength in these dangerous times." In fact, as Media Matters for America and many others have pointed out, Bush has a long history of reversing course on issues, particularly when it is politically expedient or necessary to do so.
Reporting on the death of former Enron Corp. founder and chairman Kenneth Lay, on the July 5 edition of NBC's Nightly News, correspondent Don Teague made no mention of Lay's connection to President Bush.
On Special Report, Jeffrey Birnbaum baselessly asserted that "if you compare Americans' view of the war in Iraq and the war against terrorism this Fourth of July compared to last Fourth of July, the president and his policies are in a much better position." However, polling shows otherwise.
In their recent coverage of three major national security developments, various media outlets have portrayed the events as "victories" for President Bush and Republicans or losses for Democrats, with little or no discussion of how these events could be seen as bad for the White House and the GOP.
MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell wrongly claimed that, in a hypothetical presidential campaign between President Bush and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bush would win because Clinton has "a question about likability and authenticity and a sense of trust." In fact, public opinion polls indicate that Clinton has a higher favorability rating and is viewed as more trustworthy than Bush, and their likability ratings are roughly equal.
On June 29, several Fox News media figures suggested that the U.S. government should "put up the Office of Censorship" to screen news reports to determine whether they "hurt the country" or are of "news value," in the wake of a New York Times article disclosing a Treasury Department program designed to monitor international financial transactions.
Fox News' Megyn Kendall adopted the Bush administration's misleading defense of its controversial and frequent use of "signing statements" to challenge newly passed laws -- that throughout history, "presidents have often issued signing statements when they sign a bill into law." But Kendall failed to mention that Bush has, in his signing statements, challenged more individual statutes than all other previous presidents combined, and Bush has far more frequently used signing statements "to waive his obligation to follow" even clear provisions in the law he just signed.
In response to the reports describing a Treasury Department program designed to monitor international financial transactions for terrorist activity, President Bush and other White House officials lashed out at the media -- and The New York Times in particular -- for purportedly undermining the government's antiterrorism efforts. But as with the disclosure of the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance and domestic call-tracking programs, the administration and its supporters in the media have relied on numerous false and misleading claims to support their arguments.
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly claimed that "most Americans have no tolerance for what they call amnesty" in the Senate immigration bill, and Fox News political contributor Newt Gingrich called the bill "absurd" because "it will be very unpopular." But recent polling almost universally shows that Americans support a path to citizenship -- provided for in the Senate bill -- for some illegal immigrants currently in the United States.
In their coverage of the postponement of congressional negotiations on immigration reform, several major print media outlets failed to note that legislation passed by House Republicans would designate as felons the approximately 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States.
After previously referring to Rep. Cynthia McKinney as "a welfare drag queen," calling her a "ghetto slut," and claiming that a recent haircut made her "look[] like ghetto trash," Neal Boortz stated, on June 20, that "some time over the next couple of weeks, [Rep.] Cynthia McKinney [D-GA] will show her ass again."
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace and Fox News' Brit Hume criticized Democrats because a domestic policy platform unveiled by the congressional Democratic leadership contained "not a single word about the war in Iraq." While the platform focused only on domestic issues, it followed a proposed national security strategy released earlier this year that did address Iraq, which neither Wallace nor Hume cited. Later, during a discussion on ethics, Hume, Wallace, and other Fox News Sunday panelists failed to note the broadening investigation into the ethics of House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA). Wallace also gushed over White House press secretary and former Fox News Sunday host Tony Snow.
Interviewing author Ron Suskind, whose new book found the Department of Homeland Security to be "nonexistent" and "basically a joke," NBC Today co-host Matt Lauer asked Suskind if he risks "emboldening our enemies" by "talking about some of the weaknesses in policy and procedure" in the U.S.
On CNN's Reliable Sources, CBS News contributor Gloria Borger acknowledged that the media "are suckers" because of their coverage of President Bush's surprise June 13 trip to Iraq. Borger concluded: "[Y]ou know you're being used, but in a way you kind of like it because it's good pictures."
Loading the player leg...
On Fox News Watch, Cal Thomas stated that White House counselor Dan Bartlett and press secretary Tony Snow "looked a lot better in those metal helmets than [former Democratic presidential candidate] Michael Dukakis did in that tank some years ago."

A distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) is when multiple compromised PCs are used to overwhelm a Web site's bandwidth or resources. The machines used in such attacks are collectively known as a botnet, or zombie network, and will have previously been infected with malicious software, meaning they can be remote-controlled by the attacker.
The cybercriminal fraternity uses denial-of-service attacks as a weapon to blackmail e-commerce businesses, which rely on their Web sites being accessible in order to make money.

Men reveal themselves in their efforts. Women, in the reciprocation of those efforts.
I love what I do for a living because it constantly challenges me, allows me to effect pop culture and keeps me constantly evolving but my careers is just one side of me. I'm devoted and protective of those I love. I appreciate the moments I have with people I've invited into my life and cherish each one of them individually. Needing to constantly look towards the future, I'm attracted to those who have original thoughts, creative solutions, open expectations and are passionate about their career, family, friends and eventually me. I've traveled quite a bit for business and pleasure throughout the states, most of Europe & South America. I have a smartass sense of humor and you should be ready to go toe-to-toe with me. I love to debate but am willing to agree to disagree, sometimes. I love a challenge and to be challenged. I live for the butterfly feelings you get just right before something "life changing" is about to happen. Physically I would probably describe myself as so: not "Fashion Model Beautiful" or "The Adult Actress Fantasy" but more the "Romantic Comedy Cute". I'm definitely the girl in her brand new white dress off to meet THE GUY and a cab rushes by and splashes mud all over me. I've noticed that most profiles on here don't age because you're looking for a certain demo. Well, all I can say is that I'm searching for the person who's searching for me. So please don't lie about your age, I don't. *Yes, my profile picture is the most up to date. I do look that young, it's a blessing and a curse sometimes :) Who am I looking for? I don't have a long list of do or don'ts. No one's perfect, it's more about a feeling. I'm a sucker for light eye's but even more so for someone who's a little fearless, confident & open minded. I'm not looking to be taken care of but would like for someone who cares for my well being. I'm a private individual who looks forward to meeting someone that I can trust, feel proud of by my side and that can be proud of me. I want to find my comfy nook beneath your arm but I also need to feel passionate about the person who stands before me. I would love to find myself in someone's eye line that makes me fell like I'm on fire! I am honest, sincere, openhearted and I refuse to be affected by disappointment. I believe in love. I know that sounds sappy but it's true. I see it everyday in the smallest moments between two people and I'm hoping to find it.

How to Perform Shoulder Stretches
Two Parts:Doing Standing ExercisesDoing Seated Postures
Simple shoulder stretches will relieve tension and possibly fix lingering or chronic shoulder pain. The benefit you gain from doing these stretches regularly can be immense, whether you are recovering from a shoulder injury or need a stretch break from working on a computer all day. This series of exercises can be done in sequence, moving from standing to seated.
Part 1 of 2: Doing Standing Exercises
1Warm up your shoulder muscles. Do this by standing straight and making small movements with your arms and shoulders.
- Lift your arms to shoulder height and rotate them in small circles for 10 seconds, and then reverse the rotation for 10 seconds.
- You can also lift both shoulders up and try to touch your ears. Hold this pose for 5 seconds, release it, and then repeat.
- Try to also lift your chin up and down for 5 seconds, and look side to side for 5 seconds.
2Release tension in your shoulders and neck. Stand tall on a yoga mat or exercise mat.
- Slide your left hand down the left side of your body.
- Raise your right shoulder as you lower your left shoulder. Hold this for 10 seconds, and then stand straight again.
- Slide your right hand down the right side of your body. Raise your left shoulder as you lower your right shoulder. Hold this for 10 seconds, then stand tall.
3Loosen your upper arm and chest muscles. This is a good warm up stretch for your upper body, including your shoulders.
- Interlock your fingers, with your palms facing the front of the room.
- Extend your arms above head, keeping your fingers locked. Stretch upwards and hold for 10 seconds.
- If you have scoliosis, you can do is this stretch. Just make sure that the moment you feel a stretch in your upper back, hold the stretch there and do not stretch or push any further.[1]
4Loosen your upper back and shoulder muscles. Your back muscles affect your posture and overall spine health so it's important to stretch them out.
- Cross your arms in front of your chest and place your hands around your shoulders, giving yourself a big hug.
- Slowly stretch your hands towards the middle of your back, as far as they will go. Hold this for 10 seconds.
5Loosen your chest, top shoulder muscles and lower arm muscles. It's important to keep your backbone vertical and as straight as possible during this exercise.
- Bend one arm over your head and down your back. Then, bend the other arm around and up your back.
- Grasp your fingertips and hold this stretch for 10 seconds, then reverse your arm positions and hold the stretch on the other arm for 10 seconds.
6Stretch your triceps and shoulders. Your triceps allow you to extend your elbow joint and straighten your arms.
- Raise your right hand over your head and bend your elbow to place your right hand behind your left shoulder.
- Press gently on your right elbow with your left hand. Hold for 20 seconds, then relax your arms.
- Raise your left hand over your head and bend your elbow to place your left hand behind your right shoulder.
- Press gently on your left elbow with you right hand. Hold for 20 seconds then relax.
Part 2 of 2: Doing Seated Postures
1Stretch your chest and shoulders with a seated heart opener. This exercise will help stretch your neck, shoulders, and chest.[2]
- Sit cross legged on a yoga mat or exercise mat.
- Place your palms on the floor, 8-10 inches behind you, with your fingertips pointing away from you.
- Firmly press your hands on the ground and raise your chest up, towards the ceiling.
- To add a bit more intensity to the stretch, bend your head backwards to open up the throat muscles. Look up towards the ceiling as you stretch your throat for 30 seconds.
- Slowly lift your head up and then tuck your chin to your chest to come out of the pose safely.
2Stretch your chest and shoulder muscles while on your stomach. This pose is often called swimmer's stretch, as you are lying on your stomach and stretching yourself like a swimmer in the water.
- Lie on your stomach on a yoga mat or exercise mat.
- Clasp your hands together behind your back with your thumbs down, so they rest on your lower back.
- Extend your arms behind you and slowly and gently pull your arms upward. Hold this for 20-30 seconds and then slowly release. Repeat this pose several times.
3Use a yoga strap to open your shoulders even deeper. There are several deeper stretches you can do with the aid of a yoga strap.[3] You can purchase a yoga strap at a yoga studio, online, or a fitness outlet.[4]
- Sit in a comfortable cross legged position on a yoga mat or exercise mat.
- Put your hands behind your back. Hold the strap between both hands, rather loosely.
- As you inhale, sweep your arms forward and up until they are vertical and then exhale as you bring them back down behind you. Do this several times.
- The idea is to try to make large circular motions with your arms, using the strap.
- Always move with your breath and allow the stretch to sink in by holding it in place for 10 seconds.
- You can do other variations on this exercise by shortening the distance between your hands so your arms are 24-30 inches apart, or shoulder distance apart.
4Try a more intense shoulder stretch by doing bridge pose. Bridge pose is a classic pose in yoga that allows you to control the stretch of your neck and shoulders by raising or lowering your hips.[5]
- Lie flat on your back on a yoga mat or exercise mat. Your arms should be at the sides of your body, with your palms facing down.
- Bend your feet so they are flat on the floor.
- Walk your heels towards you so your thighs are hip width apart and you can touch the back of your heels with your hands.
- Roll your shoulder blades underneath your chest. Then, press your palms, arms, and feet firmly into the ground.
- Lift your hips from the ground, towards the ceiling. You should feel a stretch in your shoulders and neck. Do not look around or move your neck from side to side in this pose as this can put stress on your neck.
- Stay in this position for 30 seconds, lifting your hips as high as you can.
- Slowly release this stretch by rolling your body down towards the mat one vertebrae at a time.
- Hug your knees into your chest to help your spine recover from this intense opening.
We could really use your help!
Skin Care?
Probability and Statistics?
beer bread?
- Do these exercises slowly and carefully.
- It is better to start slow and build repetitions over time than to do a lot at once and injure yourself.
- Do not strain. Only stretch to the degree it feels good.
- If you have scoliosis or a spine issue, always talk to your doctor or physiotherapist before attempting any of these exercises.
Things You'll Need
- A yoga mat or exercise mat
- A yoga strap
- Comfortable workout clothes, optional

Committed to Safe, Reliable, Affordable Power
Fifteen million Californians count on us for electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we're committed to delivering it reliably and safely. Over the next few years, we're expanding and upgrading our transmission and distribution networks to meet the region's growing demand for electricity, and improve grid performance, while meeting California's ambitious renewable-power goals.
Expanding & Upgrading Essential Infrastructure
Preventive Maintenance
Solar Power For You
We have generated solar power since the 1980s. With our rooftop solar photovoltaic project, now we're producing solar power on top of warehouses.
We're generating emission-free, renewable power at multimillion-watt solar power stations on rooftops throughout the sunny Inland Empire.
During five years of construction, the project resulted in many new construction jobs.
Producing solar power on leased warehouse roofs.
The solar photovoltaic project is the largest of its kind in the United States.
By positioning solar stations on top of existing warehouses, we're producing cleaner, renewable power without consuming "green land" for new construction.
Our first rooftop solar photovoltaic installation, in Fontana, Calif., consisted of 33,700 solar panels.
Powering SoCal
The nuclear plant that powered Southern California for 40 years is being retired, and we're working hard to ensure that everyone has electricity when they need it, even on the hottest days.

Proposals exploring the feasibility and advisability of implementating newborn screening for two disorders in MDA's program — Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Pompe disease— were presented to a federal advisory committee in a "virtual" meeting Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, 2013.
An international patientregistry (database) is gathering information about children and adults with any form of congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD), a congenital myasthenic syndrome or a congenital myopathy (congenital muscle disease), with the goals of promoting research and improving care in these disorders.
As scientists learn more about what our DNA can tell us about health and disease, public interest has intensified and genetic testing has become increasingly common. In response, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) have released new guidelines to address updated technologies and new uses of genetic testing and screening in children.
Scientists at the biopharmaceutical company Genzyme, working with mice, say they have modified and improved an existing experimental strategy to treat type 1 myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD1, also known as DM1).
Trials of the experimental muscular dystrophy drug ataluren showed that the drug was generally well-tolerated and slowed the rate of decline in walking ability, compared to the placebo group.
After consulting with regulatory agencies in Europe and the United States, biopharmaceutical company PTC Therapeutics has decided to move ahead with a global, phase 3 confirmatory study of ataluren. Trial sites will be in the U.S. and at least 10 other countries.
Prednisone and other drugs in the corticosteroid family have become standard treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in much of the world for almost a decade. In this disorder, they slow the decline of muscle function and prolong walking ability. However, corticosteroids have significant side effects, such as weight gain, bone loss, cataracts and behavior changes.
Note: The MD CARE Act is a critical part of the historic effort to find cures for muscular dystrophies. Watch for articles in the coming weeks that delve further into the remarkable progress attributable to this important legislation.
A 12-participant study of the acute effects of two vasodilating drugs on blood flow to exercising muscles needs four more boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who meet study criteria and are able to travel to Los Angeles. Vasodilators increase the diameter of blood vessels.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association has awarded 44 new grants totaling $13.6 million to advance the understanding and treatment of neuromuscular diseases. The new grants, most of which took effect Feb. 1, encompass a range of diseases covered by MDA's research program, and they support innovative approaches to basic research and new drug development.
In addition to addressing 16 specific neuromuscular diseases under MDA's umbrella, the grants also fund research into muscular dystrophy in general, and research into muscle physiology related to neuromuscular disease.
A recently opened global registry— a database of patient information — is seeking people with the type 2A form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2A), a form of LGMD that results from a deficiency of the calpain 3 protein.

RoSPA seeks road safety young advocate
Young people are being invited to take a leading role in road safety with an opportunity to head up a project with RoSPA.
RoSPA has received funding through the Changemakers Foundation to support its second 'young advocate' – a hands-on role to give people aged 18-25 years the chance to help save young lives.
The young advocate will be placed with RoSPA for 10 days over a six-month period and will take the lead in a project to improve the Society's involvement with young people in road safety.
The first young advocate to work with RoSPA led a project researching young people's attitudes to driver training. Her findings helped prompt the creation of the Young Driver Assessment, a new RoSPA service which offers expert appraisal and advice on driving habits, skills and attitudes.
Cassius Francis, RoSPA youth liaison worker, said: "The Future Leaders programme provides an excellent opportunity for young people to make a difference in their world."

Originally written on NY Rangers Blog | Last updated 1/31/13
According to Brett Cyrgalis at the New York Post, despite the Ryan Callahan injury and the Jason Arnott signing falling through, the Rangers have not reached out to free agents Brian Rolston and Daymond Langkow. Rolston, 39, had 7g, 17a in 70 games with the Islanders and Bruins last season. He also had 1g, 2a in seven playoff games with the Bruins. Langkow, 36, had 11g, 19a in 73 games with the Coyotes last year. He had 1g, 6a in 16 playoff games. ...good, neither of these guys excites me at all. Would rather the Rangers try to ride it out with a Whale call-up until Kreider is ready to return next week than waste their time with one of these guys. One guy who did seem to excite Rangers fans yesterday was F Zach Boychuk, who was waived by the Carolina Hurricanes. Boychuk, 23, is a 2008 first round pick (14th overall) of the Hurricanes and was their AHL affiliate's leading scorer this year with 16g, 16a in 37 games before he made the big club out of training camp...

Rated 5 out of 5Â by jade183 LOVE IT I got this jacket in black and I love it. It is really cute and has this I survived the desert look to it. There are a lot of details that the image doesn't capture. The only thing I don't like is sometimes the belt in the back gets tangled in the jacket. This is a really beautiful jacket. 6.28.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gyspsylips Perfect jacket I picked this jacket up today at my local FP and I am in love. The jacket is very lightweight and its details are beautiful. It is a very different jacket and looks beautiful unbuttoned. This is definitely my new favorite FP item. <3 9.1.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by figueroa579 Cool jacket! So pleased it fit!! Note, I wear it open. I was worried the large would be too small, I normally wear an XL and sometimes that can be too small (my experience with Anthropologie sizing). The jacket itself is totally soft and comfortable, super cool look. The little leather thing on the sleeve zipper is a little annoying but you can take those off easily. I worry the buttons will come undone and the overall construction is very "distressed" old looking and faded, that said- I bought one in black first and just placed an order for a second one in merlot. Enjoy! 8.4.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by audreykrall Such an essential jacket!! I just received this in merlot for my birthday and I can already tell it is going to be one of my favorite jackets. I am usually a S in Free People, but the XS fits me perfectly. I guess if you like things to fit a little looser, then sizing down isn't necessary, but I'm glad I have a smaller size. The belt is awesome and this jacket looks great unbuttoned, buttoned, belted, or unbelted. So versatile and absolutely stunning! 8.1.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by martatyler highly recommend This jacket is very soft, stretchy, and stylish. Looks good open and buttoned up. I love the adjustable belt in back so you can cinch it in for a custom fit. Bought both colors. 5.24.2014

The Center for American Progress says that even if every major environmental organization halted its opposition to nuclear energy, the industry would still stumble. It's a function of economics — that developers can get other types of plants up-and-running much quicker and a lot cheaper. Southern Company's two nuclear units that are going up in Georgia are now expected to cost $15.5 billion, of which a federal loan guarantee will cover more than half.
Major energy transitions are lengthy, says Michael Shellenberger, president of the Breakthrough Institute, in an interview. Moving from wood to coal took more than a century while shifting from coal to natural gas is taking just as long. Renewables are getting there, he adds, although it will require activist governments. But nuclear generation is here and now, he emphasizes.
"Nuclear power is already providing 20 percent of our power in the United States and 80 percent of the electricity in France," says Shellenberger. "The right questions are how do we encourage a transition to it and how do we make it cheaper," and not to dismiss it because of a stale mindset.
The nuclear evolution will first get tested overseas before it may migrate to other parts of the world. China, the UK, and others, believe that the fuel source is critical to providing clean and reliable power — a prescription that developed nations may follow, unless internal politics would choke it off.

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher still says he would lie to cover up a concussion. With quarterback Jay Cutler recovering from a concussion, the Bears' defensive star wasn't backing off comments he made to HBO earlier this year. He responded ''yeah'' when asked if he would try to cover up such an injury. He said he's not sure ''how you can lie these days with all the (stuff) they have to see who's concussed and not.'' He also said the NFL needs to do a better job protecting players' knees. Head injuries and the long-term effects has been a hot-button issue in sports, particularly in the NFL, and it's been a big topic in Chicago this week. It's not clear if Cutler will play Monday against San Francisco,

8 Fall 2013 Makeup Trends {Part 1}
By 20 Comments
ay for Friday! It's Day 4 of 31 Days of Fall Fashion & Beauty Tips and I'm sharing 8 Fall 2013 Makeup Trends with you.
Before we get started please watch this quick 16 second commercial. Have you seen it? Every time I watch it I laugh out loud!!
Okay, with that said here are 8 Fall 2013 makeup trends and some of my tips sprinkled in too.
1. Brows, brows, brows! In case you haven't heard me say this before, thicker brows are in. So don't over pluck! Fill them in so that they look natural, no lines! (A fuller brow gives you a more youthful appearance.)
I use Brun eyeshadow my Mac to fill in my brows.
2. The no makeup, makeup look. This look is all about finding the right base. Then add minimal color for a flawless look!
3. Lashes! Long lashes are "in"! Hmmm, so how can we be on trend if we don't have long lashes?
Two things: 1. Use a good mascara and 2. Add false eyelashes.
I love wearing false eyelashes. I don't wear them everyday but when I do, I think my eyes stand out. This picture was taken this year on my birthday and I was wearing false eyelashes. They're not over the top but just give my eyes a little boost. (I'm planning to do a tutorial on applying false eyelashes.)

Welcome to Day 3 of Fall Fashion & Beauty Tips! Today we're going to talk nail color trends. A pretty manicure is always in style and just because sandal weather is leaving us doesn't mean we don't want our toes to look nice.
Taegan Tanner from Elle magazine says, Nail art may be dying down, but the right color is everything this season. I have to admit I won't be sad to see nail art dye down. I'm not a big fan.
Last year during my 31 days series we talked about nails for women over 40. Here are a couple of tips:
Dark polish can accentuate your aging hands. Dark polish shortens your fingers but a light color elongates them. If you want longer, younger looking hands go neutral. Here are some beautiful nail polish colors if you want to go neutral.
I like to save the fun colors for my toes. If you're over 40, it's best to avoid excessive glitter and nail art. (This makes you look like you're trying too hard to look young!) Agree or disagree?
Here are some fun colors for fall 2013 to try!
What do you think about this year's nail color trends? Do you wear dark nail polish or neutral colors?
On a side note ModCloth asked if I would participate in their Uniquely You campaign by creating a lovely look with this mint green dress. I had to use items from their website to style the dress. They will be picking a winner from the bloggers who participated.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid For Mature Skin
By 17 Comments
Happy Wednesday! Usually I share photos of What I Wore but I realized yesterday, I had not taken one picture. I'm totally fine with not having my picture splashed all over the page today!
But, I did want to tell you about a product I've recently tried. I know most of you are like me, you see those fine lines and wrinkles sneaking up and I'm always looking for a good product to help with my mature skin.
One of the things I have heard is we need to use alpha hydroxy acid. Alpha hydroxy acid reduces wrinkles and the signs of aging, and improves the overall look and feel of the skin. ( Dr. Oz says this is a must for mature skin if any of you are Dr. Oz fans.)
I've recently tried Peter Thomas Roth hydrating gel. It's ideal for normal to dry, mature, sun-damaged, combination, oily and problem skin types.
Here is what the company claims about this product:

How To Apply Eye Shadow To Deep Set Eyes

Hey friends! Well, I'm a little frustrated! I'm trying to do more videos but it's sooooo hard. I watch a lot of videos and I'm not satisfied with mine yet.
The only way I know to get better is to keep doing them. So I know I'm going to look back on this and think, "that's horrible!" Actually I already do—-bad sign.
Anyway, some of you emailed me and asked if I would show you how I use the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. So this is my feeble attempt.
Because I have deep set eyes, it's a How to apply eye shadow to deep set eyes video. Thanks for being patient with me!

Good morning! Today I'm sharing some of my favorite products I've been using this summer. It's my July/August favorite products video.
I made a mistake in my video so I'll clear it up now. It's not Avines Love Shampoo and Conditioner it's Davines.
I also mention Cara in my video and her blog is called maskCara and can be found here. She talks a lot about eyebrows! She's a professional and does amazing makeovers.
If you are wanting a good tutorial on eyebrows you can go here. She tells the color of shadow to use if you're a blonde, redhead, or brunette.
Okay, here's my video and I'll list all the products that I talk about!

West Virginia Senior
40: 4.50e
Has good speed and burst and shows ability to close on the receiver to prevent yards after the catch. Shows some ability in zone coverage and can keep things in front of him in off coverage. Shows some ball skills there to break up pass and make a play on the ball. Shows toughness and physicality in run support. Willing to set the edge against the fullback, and wraps up at the point of attack. Will deliver hit after the catch to the receiver. Works as a returner and shows some speed and burst on kickoffs and when he can get upfield on punts.
Undersized and struggles to match up against size. Will whiff on some stops in run support and needs to take better angles to the ball on the edge. Needs to improve his footwork and technique. Doesn't have a smooth backpedal, and doesn't show the burst and ability to drive on the ball in off coverage. Lacks ideal ball skills and awareness to jump and anticipate routes. Doesn't do a good job turning and locating the ball on the deep route and will draw the penalty there because of it. Doesn't have great hips to turn and run on the deeper routes. Dances a bit too much as a punt returner.
Hogan is an undersized, but athletic corner that probably projects best playing in a Cover-2 scheme. He has tools to compete at the next level, but needs to polish up his footwork and technique, and doesn't have the awareness and ball skills to really love his chances. He tore his ACL in December and isn't likely to do much as a rookie, so he's more a developmental project for the future. Average 8.9 yards on 22 career punt returns, and 19.3 yards on 8 career kickoff returns. He began his career as a receiver and moved to cornerback as a sophomore. Started three years, combining for 7 picks and 24 pass breakups in those years.
Hogan sort of reminds me of Allen Rossum in that he shows toughness for his size, but he's overmatched in coverage and will have to shine on special teams. But I think he is a better corner than Rossum was and probably compares more to a smaller version of Chris Houston in those regards. In a Cover-2 scheme, I think he can stick and compete as a nickel corner. But until he becomes more polished and discipline, he'll struggle in that role. More than likely, he'll be a capable No. 4 corner with the upside to be more, but his ability to stick early in his NFL career will depend a lot on his special teams ability.
Hogan can compete for a reserve spot in Atlanta, but unless he polishes up his footwork/technique, he'll be overmatched here. The best he can hope for as a rookie is to land on the practice squad and hope that over his first year or two he can pick up some traits from Brent Grimes. But in the end, unless the team falls in love with his special teams ability or he shows he's a quick learner, then he's a guy that will be hard-pressed to stick long-term.
If he was 100%, then Hogan would probably be worth a fifth round pick for a Cover-2 team looking for depth. But due to the ACL tear, he's probably not worth drafting since his rookie year is likely to be a wash.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Speed: 3.5
Man Coverage: 3.0
Zone Coverage: 3.0
Tackling: 3.0
Ball Skills: 2.5

text: The Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Falsebound Kingdom wiki last edited by FinalDasa on 01/10/15 07:24PM View full history OverviewA real time strategy game based on the designs of the Yugioh card game and of the Yugioh anime. This game was a departure for the Yugioh series since it went for the strategy game design rather than copying the card game structure. The game followed 2 story lines, Yugi's and Kaiba's, and charges the player with taking over enemy castles and territories while collecting and forming teams of monsters.StorylineYou can start by either choosing Seto or Yugi as a starting character. As you go through the game characters like Teá, Tristan, and Joey will join your side, You will even run into Mei Valentine.Yugi's story take him through the game as the rebel leader opposing the king and his helper Seto. As you go from level to level you will not only run into characters that you can recruit but also creatures such as Summoned Skull and Dark Magician. Yugi will eventually have to battle Seto and right after that battle where you both decide to have Peace and attack the King. Scott Irvine, the game's designer, however was playing as King Heishin and was trying to get rid of Seto by bringing Yugi into the game as well as unlocking. However now that they are at peace Scott takes matters into his own hands and changes the encoding in the game leaving Yugi and Seto very little chance to escape. (depending on which level you are playing on {easy,medium,hard} the next part will be harder) Now your only way to escape is to defeat everyone in your path and defeat Scott. In this storyline before you run into Scott you will battle his minion Darknite who will use Obelisk the Tormenter in this story line.In Seto story line much of the same things happen except that you do not gain the power of Yugi's friends until you have battled Yugi. Seto upon entering the game was given the role as the emperors guard and took command of his army. However he eventually turns on the emperor. As the story progresses the emperor kidnaps Mokuba, Seto's brother which eventually lead to him fighting Yugi. In this story Darknite uses Slifer the Sky Dragon. When you reach the final battle the game turns from the virtual world and appears to be like the inside of a comp. (somewhat like what you see in the movie the Matrix)Once the final battle is over everyone is released form the game and live a normal life again.This will also unlock a prelude story with Joey as the main character. He will be fighting Merick who uses Ra the Sun God GameplayThe game works like halo wars. It runs in the realtime settings allowing very little time to plan a strategy. The game will also allows for items to be bought like revival items and cannons for the castle. The downside to the game is that it will take to long and who really wants to sit around and stay on the same level for 2 hours and still be on your first try to beat it.A good thing is that when you complete one story you can play the other story with all the creature you gathered from the first story. The bad news is the game jacks up a level making it harder and the God will be at level 99 when you fight it

Special Order
Seventeen-year-old Haley McWaid is a good girl, the pride of her suburban New Jersey family, headed off to college next year with all the hopes and dreams her doting parents can pin on her. Which is why, when her mother wakes one morning to find that Haley never came home the night before and three months quickly pass without word from the girl, the community assumes the worst.
Wendy Tynes is a reporter on a mission: to bring down sexual predators via elaborate—and nationally televised—sting operations. Wendy and her team have shamed dozens of men by the time she encounters her latest target. Dan Mercer is a social worker known as a friend to troubled teens, but his story soon becomes more complicated than Wendy could have imagined.
Caught tells the story of a missing girl, the predator who may have taken her, and the reporter who suddenly realizes she can't trust her own instincts about this story—or the motives of the people around her.

Is it okay to continue to use abdominal castor oil packs long term, I am still applying them 7 nights per week and have been for the past twelve months? I have Interstitial Cystitis (no infection present).
Is it okay to continue to use abdominal castor oil packs long term, I am still applying them 7 nights per week and have been for the past twelve months? I have Interstitial Cystitis (no infection present).
I am reading conflicting recommendations regarding castor oil and use of packs. Once a castor oil bottle is opened and first used, how long can you keep reusing the oil that you have put into your container for packs? As for the packs themselves, how many times should you use the fabric pack until discarding (I'm reading 30 times max, others write 3-6 months). Finally, once you have initially set-up your castor oil and packs for use, is there any need to continue adding castor oil for "refreshening. " At what point do you throw the oil out and begin again?

04/06/2011Hi, Esprit64... I responded to your other questions about castor oil packs above. Sorry I didn't cover everything for you.
I have used castor oil packs for many, many years. As to your question about how long you can use an opened bottle of castor oil?... til it is gone.. Lol. After I have my heating pad laid out, plastic on top of that and flannel on top of that.. I trickle more castor oil from the bottle onto my pack and turn on the pad, letting the whole pack heat up a little. Then I apply it to my tummy.. flannel pack first, then the plastic, then the heating pad.
"how many times should you use the fabric pack until discarding?" I have used mine for years. If it gets too runny/sloppy/messy, you will probably have to discard it and start over. And not because there is anything wrong with it but just because it will make a big mess and leak out everywhere.
"is there any need to continue adding castor oil for "refreshening. " At what point do you throw the oil out and begin again?" Unless you have just absolutely soaked the pack, you do need to renew/refresh the castor oil each time you use the pack. I have never thrown out any oil that I can remember, except for a bottle or two maybe some years ago. I used to buy the drugstore variety and, if it had been a while since I had used a pack and if the castor oil smell was really, really overwhelming AND if I had plenty on hand, that smelly bottle might hit the trashcan. But if you are a regular user of the packs, you will probably use up your supply on hand long before you have to worry about it getting too old to use.
One trick I use is... I try to rub the castor oil into my skin directly where I will be putting the pack. Continue to rub in the oil, letting the skin absorb as much as possible. If you rub briskly, everything gets a little warm and enhances the absorption. Then I apply heating pad/pack as usual with renewed oil on the pack also. I think it just gives you/your pack a jumpstart.
Just let me know if you have anymore questions, my friend, ok? phoenix23002Replied by Medbear

05/24/2012I use absorbant pads which have an absorbant side & a non-absorbant plastic other side. Apply oil directly to area or to absorbant pad, then place pad on area & heat pad to plastic non-absorb side. I treated a leg problem & wrapped the pad & taped edges. Then applied pad & secured it with rubber band or string. I buy the pads from the dog store or dog supply area of a store as I assume the pads for humans are more expensive. They are usually called indoor training pads & come in various sizes. Price for 50 is about $10US. I don't like wasting the oil, so I keep it refrigerated which thickens it up, then apply directly to skin area. They make perfect wraps for those areas needing a wrap versus a flat application for which they are also good.

[YEA] As a proven believer in Castor Oil, the other morning I awoke with a very sore gum in the vicinity of my right canine tooth. A look in the mirror indicated it was blood red, very tender, but no blood excreted when massaging. I generally 'oil' with Sesame Oil, but thought 'Why not try CO?'... Two 20 minute sessions [about 3-4 hours inbetween] and a session at bed time. I excreted all of the 'oiling', but let the CO coating remain in my mouth over night...the next morning it was 95% better; a repeat of the previous day's treatment produced a 100% recovery by the following evening...no redness, no tenderness and a normal, healthy gum..Replied by Redfloridian

[YEA] I have had gut problems for years. (I have an extra-long colon, like twice normal length.) General inflammation, sometimes burning an inch or two below my sternum ( a good remedy for that is pancreatic enzymes), a pointed ache in the gall bladder area (just below right ribs) whenever I ate anything with fat, and a pain in the left lower corner of the abdomen aftter eating. I did an all night castor oil pack and all of these symptoms have disappeared and have not come back.

[YEA] If you've ever been hit by a ball or smashed your finger then "Castor Oil" is your best bet. As soon as the hit or smash occurs, saturate the entire area with Castor oil and leave on. Really lay it on! This has been advice that was given by a medical practitioner some 40 yrs. ago and it works. It will also remove blood blisters, take the swelling down and stop the pain. I was hit in the arm muscle with a zinger grounder and immediately applied my Castor oil. It took out the pain and never swelled and where I did not go down my arm far enough it did bruise, but where I applied the Castor oil it did NOT bruise. It's awesome for toddlers who constantly are falling. Apply ice on top of the Castor oil if you wish, but many times it's unavailable and the oil is handy to carry on you in a small bottle.Replied by Gardengirl

04/20/2012While I was gardening I hit my small finger nail and to my surprise the nail was broke in half.... Across the nail. It was really painful and and the upper part of the nail was going to come off. It was blue, sore and the nail was all puffed up. I didn't know what to do and thought what the heck, I'll put castor oil on it. After putting it on , I think I forgot all about it and started cleaning the house. When I took a break my nail wasn't blue or sore. I applied it 2 more times and now the nail sort of connected back. I was amazed!!!! Love this stuff!!!!

[WARNING!] I've noticed at reading some of the posts that alot of people use heating pads for their ailments. and that's understandable because heating pads are comforting. But PLEASE ask yourself if your ailment could have an infection at it's source otherwise, you could mistakenly SPREAD an infection. I did this with myself, when I should have been using an ice pack to contain the infection. GOD BLESS!!!!Replied by Katie

11/16/2010Actually, your body heats up the area on purpose, as many infectious agents don't do well at high temperatures (they don't do well at low temps either, but neither does your own body) A feverish area is good, as it means that your body is doing what it is supposed to. Also, while applying a hot pad may increase inflammation in the short term, in the long term, you will be better for it.

[YEA] I had severe piles (internal) & haemorrhoids (external). Visit to doctor who gave some creams & advised surgery if the haemorrhoids didnt shrink. Read about castor oil and tried it as last resort as I didn't fancy the idea of surgery. A friend of mine who had piles surgery discovered he couldnt control his bowels well sometime after surgery.
Anyway, what i did was to coat the rear area, especially the inflamed tissues with castor oil twice a day after visiting the bathroom. Amazingly, after a couple of days, the area went back to normal and I did not have to go back to the doctor.
I will try castor oil for other various problems that I read about on earthclinic. Castor oil rocks!Replied by Sri

Atlanta, Ga
02/22/2011I was researching liver congestion and found this. Relieving the congestion did help the anal pressure I was having so thought I would pass it on... Do a liver pack if you have hemmorrhoids... this is just one place I found it...
"One-third of rectal veins travel to the liver via the portal venous system. Significantly, if pressure in the portal vein rises from liver cirrhosis or parasites, increased blood volume and pressure may dilate rectal veins to the extent that internal and external hemorrhoids are created. It follows from this that any toxicity or impairment of the liver might be contributory to hemorrhoids. If you find this hard to understand, imagine the venous blood(from the rectal area) traveling upward through the portal vein to the liver and the veins have no "back-flow" valve. Then imagine blood circulation through the liver is extremely slow or backed-up due to congestion. Guess what? The blood will back-flow to the rectal and anal area again. Spasms of the anal sphincter are said to be a frequent cause of external hemorrhoids because they may shut off the outflow of blood to the rectal veins."Posted by Gabi (TORONTO, CANADA) on 02/04/2008
[YEA] Use Castor Oil to cure hemorrhoid. Make small CASTOR OIL PACK. You can use even cotton ball saturated with Castor Oil. Lie down and apply it to the hemorrhoid. You can walk with it if you have to. It brings very fast relive and swollen hemorrhoid shrinks fast.
Did anybody tried Castor Oil to cure skin or toe nail fungus? It seems that Castor Oil really is one of nature wonders. I have one tip for persons using garlic: drink lemon juice or eat few slices of lemon. It kills garlic breath, cures stomach ulcers (for sure prevents them), keeps you safe from colds and flus!

[YEA] I have always used Castor Oil Packs to strengthen my liver and kidneys. The liver can grow itself back if you take the time to do it.
You get cold pressed castor oil, wool flannel, a heating pad and a piece of plastic - I use a garbage bag. There are sites online that will explain it in details.
I put the castor oil into a sealed container with the wool flannel and shake it up. You want the castor oil to e dripping from it slowly. I then put the container into the microwave for about 15 or 20 seconds - just to get it heated up. I then put a couple of towels onto my bed or couch and lay down on them. Then I take the wool flannel and put it on my stomach. If you are trying to heal the liver, put it a little bit more over your liver, if you are trying to heal the kidneys, put it over that area. Then I put the garbage bag onto th flannel and then the heating pad - all the way on high (or as high as you can handle). Leave it on for at least one hour and meditate on what you are trying to achieve. After you are finished, wipe your self off with a mixture of Baking soda and water,to get your skin back to the proper ph.
Do this for 4-5 days on and then leave off for the remaining days.

09/14/2009Cold-pressed oil is considered superior to other methods of oil extraction because heat and solvent based processing often destroys the active ingredients in beneficial oils. You can find cold-pressed oils at a healthfood store. They are often organic as well, so expect to pay more.

Lymphatic Malformation 1 0
Approval Ratings YEA (1) 100% Posted by l (Sandusky, Ohio ) on 10/25/2008
[YEA] My daughter was diagnosed with Lymphatic Malformation or Cystic Hygroma, (A large growth or swollen mass just under the skin in the neck/throat area), when she was born. It was alarming to say the least. It is a congenital birth defect, and it has to do with a defect in the venous system or Lymph system. The cyst are filled with Lymph fluid. It's also very unpredictable, and a cyst can swell up or go down at any time, and new cysts can appear at any time. The cysts can get very large, and cause deformities in the face and other parts of the body, and obstruct breathing. There is no known cure, except surgery and a drug that can be injected directly into the cyst called OK-432. Usually when the child gets sick or has an infection anywhere in the body, they swell up, or new ones appear. My daughter is two now. About 2 months ago, she developed a new cyst on the other side of her face/neck. I freaked out. I'm not to keen on doctors, because of what they put her through when she was born, and (No money, or a car), I'm always searching for an alternative cure.
I've had extremely good results with Castor Oil. I'm a big believer in this stuff. I buy big bottles of it at a time, it's great. I use it, whenever I have a problem. Edgar Cacey was a Christian, and always gave credit where credit was do, to God, and he felt motivated by him. There have been many, many documented reports over the decades of Castor oil really helping a lot of people for a wide spectrum of ailments. I put her on Castor oil packs about 4 times a week for two months, and the cyst went WAY down, and has stayed that way for a while now. Now, I'm not 100% sure that was what worked for her, but we seem to notice it beginning to shrink and a response from her as soon as we started her on the packs.
The packs are messy, and it's not easy to get a child to hold still for a pack on their abdominal area. So, I used an old throw away shirt, and safety pins. I safety pinned the saturated flannel section on the inside of the front of the shirt to cover her stomach, and generously massaged a large amount of the oil all over her cysts on her neck and throat. I did this regime at night, and in the morning gave her a bath or a shower. The heating pad is not really necessary, but helps, a lot. I did not do a heat source on her, because she is so young, she would never sit still for it. The first few nights, she was restless, and agitated, and was running a mild fever. Then in the morning, the fever would break. We noticed it getting smaller from than on. It really seemed to help her those packs. She seem to have a lot of energy and be in a good mood, the mornings after the packs. If and when this happens again, I'll try the packs again. Castor oil is great. Hope this helps her. Like Cacey said, Do the packs along with a prayer for healing.Replied by London
