Addressing Viral Hepatitis in People With Substance Use Disorders
Our colleagues at SAMHSA have just released a new Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP), Addressing Viral Hepatitis in People With Substance Use Disorders. This is an important and helpful step toward achieving the fifth goal of the Action Plan for the Prevention, Care & Treatment of Viral Hepatitis, which calls on us to ensure that persons who use drugs have access to viral hepatitis prevention, care, and treatment services. Chief among the ways we can advance this goal is by integrating viral hepatitis prevention and care services as standard components of all substance abuse treatment programs.
Injection-drug use is a primary risk factor for exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) because of needle-sharing and other drug-related behaviors. Among new cases of hepatitis C reported to CDC, injection-drug use is the most common risk factor. Research shows that injection-drug users (IDUs) have high rates of viral hepatitis infection with an estimated 64% chronically infected with HCV and up to 11% chronically infected with HBV. IDUs are not only disproportionately affected by these viruses, but they are also more likely to have adverse hepatitis-related health outcomes compared to other infected populations—primarily because of related health conditions (known as "comorbidities") and inadequate access to and receipt of needed health services.

Waithĩra had a very comfortable place in a great location and was very accommodating. She helped me fix out my SIM card by making a phone call, told me the best places to eat local food (places tourists can't find) and even helped me have an awesome night out. Highly recommended.
Waithira was very sweet, friendly, and welcoming. She communicated well throughout my whole stay. The place is advertised accurately, and is in a relatively secure part of town, it seemed. Would stay again on a future trip to Nairobi!
Wonderful experience. Waithira was very sweet and came and picked me up for my stay from a local coffee shop. Good internet, comfortable bed, great spot indeed!
Waithira goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable -- cleans your room every morning, prepares breakfast, always makes sure there's filtered water in the house. On top of that, she's a phenomenal and super sharp -- chatting about Nairobi, work, US, etc were some of the highlights of my trip.
If you stay with Waithira, I guarantee you'll feel like you're a guest in a friend's home, but with the amenitites/bells and whistles of a hotel :)
The apartment is very well kept, clean, very safe, comfortable, and in a really fantastic location within Westlands. Its right around the corner from a few of my favorite westlands restaurants and is walking distance to shopping and the National Museums.
The room has plenty of space for storage and to work, and Waithira was very helpful in making sure I got in alright and overall was very welcoming.
I enjoyed my stay at Waithira's place for 11 nights. Everything was as described and shown in the advertisement. It is centrally located and convenient to get to westlands centre and into kileleshwa/kilimani.
Waithira is an easy-going and helpful host with useful tips if you're new to the area. She also makes great chips and kachumbari!
The flat is secure, everything works well and is clean. Was easy going out in westlands at night - a 300 bob cab ride away.

About the Host, Waithĩra
Fun-loving, easy going person who is also a stickler for cleanliness. Very open minded, I love meeting new people - and welcoming them by cooking for them too.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -It was Carolina Day at the State House Wednesday.
Alumni and supporters of USC met with lawmakers to talk about the importance of higher education.
They're hoping lawmakers will think about how the decisions they make and how bills they passaffect the state's colleges and universities.
"We understand that as political officials they have a political life, but we try to make this not about partisan politics but about garnet and black politics," said USC President Harris Pastides. "I think the students had a civic lesson today. They saw how government works."
'This was the 10th Carolina Day.

Hardware 101
By Deluxe on Oct 10, 2012
Swapping out old hardware is a simple, inexpensive way to update furniture and built in cabinets, or to dress up a flea market find. There's a sea of hardware out there, and it helps to become familiar with some terminology in order to find what's right for you.
If your existing pulls are mounted with two screws, it's easy to find replacement hardware that will fit into the same holes. Measure from the center of one hole to the center of the other. This is called the "center to center" or "centers" measurement, and is listed with the product.
Some common finishes include polished chrome, satin chrome, polished nickel, satin nickel, polished brass, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze and stainless steel. Keep in mind, your options are not limited to metal; wood and glass can also be interesting, and there's a wealth of novelty hardware on the market too. Antler, bone, leather, mirror or rope would be striking in the right context.
Here are sources for the items shown above to get you started:
Bar Pull - Lansa, Ikea
Novelty Pull - Curved Rope Handle, Cliffside Industries

This was very easy and quick. I followed the recipe exactly, I may try dry lemon zest and bottle lemon juice next time to see if it tastes as good.flag if inappropriate
THe lemon and honey flavors were awesome together. The consistency of both the cheesecake and the graham cracker bottom was perfect - had no troubles getting out of pan after cooling in fridge for 3 hours. Only thing I would change is doubling the recipe. Great bars to bring to a buffet/party.flag if inappropriate
Mine turned out perfect; followed recipe completely! Cut just fine. Loved the honey "twist", and I think they will be a perfect dessert for an appetizer buffet; just the right bite-size. Not actually meant to be the traditional, higher cheesecake. Enjoy! KIMBERflag if inappropriate
This didn't seem to have much flavour. Also it was extremely thin. I am sure there are better cheesecake square recipes out there.flag if inappropriate
It was okay. It was hard to get out of the pan. I suggest you cut it before it cools. Also, add more sugar to the mixture and more butter to the crust. Trust me!flag if inappropriate
the honey gives this such a good taste. Family really enjoyed it. Is a go for the weekend. Thanksflag if inappropriate

3. Game of Thrones Season Three Premiere (March 31, 2013) — When last we left Game of Thrones, Joffrey had managed to hang on to the throne in the Battle of Blackwater (no thanks to himself), and we were introduced to the White Walkers. George R.R. Martin's massive third novel from the A Song of Ice and Fire series, A Storm of Swords, will be split into two seasons, and some have even wondered with so much content, how will Game of Thrones ultimately end?
2. Arrested Development Season Four Premiere (TBA, Maybe But Probably Not May 4th) — Now that Mitch Hurwitz has added to the original 10-episode order, our national holiday has been pushed back, tentatively until May. Once that date has been firmed up, I expect the number of preplanned vacation days to skyrocket, as all 12-14 episodes of season four will be released simultaneously, which means no one will go to work that day. Welcome Back, Anal Rapist.
1. Breaking Bad Series Finale (Date TBA, Probably Late August) — For viewers of great television, anyway, the Breaking Bad finale will undoubtedly be the most important event of 2013. In fact, everything that comes after will likely be compared to the Breaking Bad finale: "The Walking Dead premiere was awesome, but it was no Breaking Bad finale." "Wow! I just had the most mindblowing sex of my life, but it was not Breaking Bad finale!" What will happen is anyone's guess, but there will almost certainly be body bags.

By: Joël van der Reijden | Date: November 26, 2012 | Membershiplist/biography
"Someone once said that war is hell, and peace is heaven. But we know that the opposite is true: War is heaven, and peace is hell."
OSS Society: 1) Ross Perot at an October 2, 2010 meeting. 2) Cynthia Helms, widow of Richard Helms, at the 2012 annual meeting. 3) The controversial General John Singlaub at the 2012 annual meeting. 4) General John Mulholland, head of U.S. Army Special Operations Command, talking to Admiral Michael Mullen, retired Joint Chiefs chairman, at the 2012 annual meeting.
At this point it is too soon to draw any final conclusions on the AFIO and the OSS Society, but people should definitely start taking notice of their top-level membership - especially with Gene Wheaton having claimed that at least one of these groups, the OSS Society, "runs the CIA from behind the scenes". Seeing former CIA director William Webster conversing with then-CIA director David Petraeus at an OSS Society gathering, he may well turn out to be right one day.
AFIO membership in detail
A detailed membership list plus bios has been moved to a separate page. ISGP has also backed up a full 1996 list of the AFIO roster, with most names still unanalyzed. A quick analysis of the uncovered names reveals most retired CIA, NSA, DIA, ONI director, as well as a number of Air Intelligence / Air Force Intelligence (AFISRA) directors. As the reader can see in the oversight below, there is a definite pecking order in the importance of various top intelligence positions.
The positions of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and Air Force Intelligence (AFISRA) are roughly equal. The NSA is a bit more prestigious: no NSA director goes back to being a director of any of the military agencies. The only way up is the CIA or Pentagon, and only the top two positions in each case. Most directors of ONI, the DIA and AFISRA never make it to higher positions. Rising to the position of CIA director or secretary of defense is primarily reserved for the old boys who have gone to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or maybe Columbia. General Michael Hayden and Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, both former heads of the NSA who moved on to the CIA, are the exceptions rather than the norm.
At a somewhat lower level, quite a few leading AFIO members have been commander of the Naval Security Group, a joint project of the Navy and the NSA. As for the Air Force, Offutt Air Force, where Strategic Air Command is located, is a key location where many senior Air Force officers have been stationed at one time or another. Another very often seen position among retired Air Force generals in the AFIO is J-2 (head of intelligence) at U.S. European Command (EUCOM). All of them are career officers; no old boys at this level.
The civilian CIA is a bit of a different animal. The AFIO seems to take a particular liking towards Army or Marine Corps special operations veterans who appear to have worked for the CIA. Colonel Charles Rambo, a "State Department" counter-terrorism specialist; and Colonel John Guenther of Marine Corps Intelligence are two examples that come to mind.
The AFIO ranks are filled with CIA station chiefs from around the world, many of them still very obscure to this day. It probably doesn't come as a surprise that quite a few notorious CIA veterans can be found - not with Ted Shackley's network of friends having set up and running the AFIO. We come across numerous individuals accused of involvement in drug trafficking, arms smuggling, assassinations, coups, death squads, the recruiting of Nazis, MK-ULTRA and everything else that cannot stand the light of day. On a somewhat lighter note, there is also a whole group of CIA and DIA/INSCOM men among the membership that is linked to the remote viewing projects. Except for coups, most of these questionable projects focus around the absolute top of the CIA, with a few subordinates in the operations department and the army's special operations units.
Yet another interesting avenue to look into is the AFIO's Las Vegas chapter at Nellis Air Force Base, known for being the location of Groom Lake and Area 51, a CIA base from 1955 to 1979. Among the members is a good friend of the earlier-mentioned Colonel John Alexander: Thorton "T.D." Barnes, who helped develop some of the top secret spy planes of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980, including the SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 stealth fighter. He also worked on NASA's Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application (NERVA) program. In terms of conventional high technology programs, Barnes has seen it all.
Colonel John Alexander, so famous from Coast to Coast AM and intertwined with many of its guests, is an important figure in the AFIO's Las Vegas chapter at Nellis AFB (Area 51) [3], together with Area 51 veteran "T.D." Barnes, another visitor of Coast to Coast. No. 1 shows Alexander with the AFIO's second president, General Richard Stilwell; no. 5 is with OSS Society chairman General John Singlaub; and no. 6 is with fellow AFIO member, and even more controversial, Colonel Michael Aquino. [4] Generals Jack Sheehan (7) and Carl Stiner (8), of U.S. Special Operations Command, are also very familiar in AFIO circles. Edward Teller (9) we know from the American Security Council. William Perry (10) is the ultimate DOD and defense corporation insider and a close friend of Henry Kissinger.
Another interesting name among the 1996 AFIO membership is Mary Ferrell. Since the 1960s she has been one of the most important JFK assassination researchers, maintaining a large library of documents other researchers continually use. She died in 2004, but the Mary Ferrell Foundation, complete with database, still exists. Rodney Stich, a seemingly very sincere author who is very critical of the CIA, is another peculiar name that appears on the 1996 membership list, considering the AFIO is largely a private CIA endeavor.
If knowledge is power...
One thing that seems pretty clear is that certainly the more senior AFIO members have had access to the deepest secrets within the national security system of the United States. Here we have individuals in the know of all the CIA's most sensitive secrets and of similarly sensitive datamining and hacking programs of the NSA. Add to this persons with past access to high technology programs at defense corporations and bases as Area 51. If we assume that knowledge is power, the AFIO is a potential superpower on its own.
Certainly the potential for abuse of power is considerable. What if a CIA or NSA director decides to copy or remove certain highly sensitive files before retiring? Files that can be used for blackmail? What if projects are moved to private corporations, in this case with ties to the AFIO? At that point it becomes possible to run a powerful criminal private enterprise with knowledge that only exists out of government.
With the old boys of the FBI on board things would become even easier. This is hardly speculation. Remember how the CIA cooperated with the biggest mafia bosses in the country to overthrow Castro and raise drug money while Hoover's FBI pretended that the mafia didn't even exist? Not to mention that Hoover maintained a huge file on politicians for blackmail purposes. While there are not many FBI boys at the AFIO, possibly preferring other groups as the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI (SFSAFBI), AFIO director William Webster is a former CIA director while we also see former CIA and FBI directors sharing boards at questionable companies as ExecutiveAction or GlobalOptions Group. Both were set up by AFIO member Neil Livingstone.
Of course, there are plenty of rumors that certain secret information has been taken out of government and taken to the private sector. Certainly a lot intelligence operations have been privatized. Besides ExecutiveAction and GlobalOptions, a great example is Blackwater, through which a private War on Terror was conducted in the years after 9/11 by former CIA counterterrorism chief Cofer Black and his allies. Both Black and Blackwater head Erik Prince have given speeches to the AFIO, but are still too young to be full-fledged members. Leading AFIO member Bobby Ray Inman took over from Prince when Blackwater was transitioned into Xe Services in 2010 and then into Academi in 2012.
At the end of the day we probably don't need to worry that much about a CIA director or secretary of defense not being informed about the country's deepest secrets--or even the secretary of state, who always has its own power structure behind him--but what about the president and vice president? As ISGP has discussed in other articles, and as can be seen in the oversight produced above, presidential candidates tend to come from the outside. They are literally groomed. If considered reliable enough, they can put themselves up for election and expect the media and major corporations to support them. If not, they'll never make it.
Whatever the exact truth, little of this seems to involve the ordinary AFIO member. Seeing how the AFIO arranges for Hal Puthoff and Edgar Mitchell to hold a speeches, or some of the books promoted in the AFIO's magazine, and it appears the vast majority of AFIO members are being had in the same manner as the rest of the population.
OSS Society names
AFIO names have their separate membership/biography list. The names below belong to the OSS Society. There's a good chance that every person listed here also here also has been involved AFIO. Time will tell. For now far less names of the OSS Society are known.

Ten (More) Characters You May Encounter in Yoga Class.
Original ten here, more characters here.
1. "The sweater" – You can recognize him almost as soon as he unfurls his mat. What used to be blue is now stained black as a result of many, many sweaty practice sessions. You look on in horror as people slip and fall from the trail he leaves from the practice room to the shower. The poor student who cleans the studio gets a sinking feeling in her stomach when he walks through the door.
2. "The namast-delayer" – This individual makes a point of pausing a few moments before joining in the final "Namaste", so that everyone can notice just how spiritual he is. "Naaammmmaaaasssttteeeeeeee," he booms, bowing deeply and enunciating each syllable for maximum effect. He often remains seated with his eyes closed muttering in Sanskrit while everyone packs up.
3. "The newbie" – It's quite clear that this girl decided to try yoga because Jennifer Aniston mentioned it on Oprah, and "she has like, really toned arms, and stuff." Her mat is still in its plastic packaging when she enters the practice room, and she darts furtive looks at everyone around her for guidance on how to proceed. After class, she will often turn wide-eyed to the person beside her and say something along the lines of, "I never knew yoga was so hard!"
4. "The creeper" – This man shows up to class every once in a while in an effort to scope out "hot girls." His bros tell him that yoga chicks are really bendy, and he is impressed. He saunters in nonchalantly and will use pickup lines like, "So…do you come here often?"…unaware that generally speaking, Ashtanga yoga is a daily practice.
5. "The senior citizen" – This woman looks like she is old enough to be your great-great-great-grandmother. Her sinewy muscles bulge beneath her papery skin. You worry for her health and safety, but as class begins you realize that she is in fact much more advanced than you are. She deftly flows from Crow to Handstand as you fall flat on your face. You are humbled.
5. "The crier" – The woman seems to use yoga class as an alternative for therapy. She will often begin sniffling by the third Sun Salutation and tears will be streaming down her face as she moves into Pigeon pose. Regulars at the studio know to give her some space in the practice room so she can "let her emotions out." She often approaches the teacher after class and will thank him tearfully.
6. "The jock" – Quarterback of the college football team, team captain of the lacrosse team and a regular at the gym, this boy heard that yoga is a great complement to sports and decided to try it out. Similar to the newbie, he appears out of his element as he enters the studio in his dri-fit Underarmour shirt and boardshorts. He sheds his shirt within the first minute of class and pulls a muscle while struggling to touch his toes. He is unaccustomed to not excelling at any physical activity he tries.
7. "The blogger" – Armed with notebook in hand, the blogger can often be found scribbling notes throughout practice to write about later, in her yoga blog. She hops from studio to studio writing up reviews and trying out new styles to write about in her blog. She chats up people in the studio and tells them about her blog. You wonder if she even has a job, as her life revolves solely around yoga…and blogging.
8. "The laugher" – The laugher often attends class with a friend who is equally as giggly. You can instantly tell when they enter the practice room, as they disrupt your Savasana with their whispered snorts. When one of them falls out of a balance posture, they will both begin to laugh uncontrollably. "Shhhh!" someone hisses, which only makes them laugh even harder.
9. "The klutz" – The problem child of yoga class, this student has difficulty following instruction. When the teacher says "right", this girl goes left, setting off a domino effect of confusion. You hold a Seated Prayer Twist for what feels like an eternity as the teacher goes over and attempts to adjust this student, before finally moving onto the next pose.
10. "The keener" – The man always places his mat front row and center. He has devoted his entire life to yoga and takes his practice very, very seriously. He can be seen wearing loose-fitting cotton clothing and a mala around his neck. He has been working privately with the teacher to perfect his handstand transitions and carries around a pocket version of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras at all times.

Which one are you?
11. "The typecaster" – This person spends her time checking out other people in the class, trying to figure out which pigeonhole they fit in to. Once in a while she is stumped, and must expand her list. Thus she diminishes her world to remain master of it.
The self-serious yogi who judges others for judging others and, in so doing, forgets to enjoy life or have a sense of humor about it…causing Patanjali to roll over in his savasana.
I was just smarting about what a nasty sweater I am. The dawning realization that is why I always have so much space around my mat while everyone else is jammed together.
Amen, brother. Me, too. I sweat so much I've never needed to go to hot yoga…
… as in ALL of the yamas and niyamas, and pratyahara.
I am just grateful she is not my yoga teacher. Every pose is a perfect pose—and who cares why people are doing yoga–so many different reasons!
Yes, when we run people down our ego wins a small victory, but in the long run we find ourselves living in a world full of run down people. Better to surround yourself with amazing people. Look up, not down. Your spirit follows your gaze.
LOL, gotta love duality…that's the core of yoga, right…or is that the core of bhoga?
Katy J Funny! I'd like to see a list of yoga teachers one might encounter. I actually once had a teacher call me a show-off just for doing a pose he told us to do! I told him I'm not a show-off. I just really love yoga. I think he was just jealous cause he couldn't fully express the asana he was trying to teach. He has since unfriended me. *sigh* You know, it takes every type of person to make the world keep spinning.
You do realize he probably "unfriended" you because you defensively decided he was "jealous" of you? I'm a bit shocked by how delusional this comment is.
Do you ever, ever say anything positive, 13thfloorelevators?
And… The senior citizen- overweight- klutz! There are hybrids, you know? This list is both funny and perceptive. I know yoga teachers are deep inside thankful that all of us pains in the butt show up for class, or how else can you all make some money?
Many teachers are looking for classes full of keeners. No matter where. But the world doesn't roll that way … lol.
"Julia is a yoga teacher, lover of all things, and dedicated student of life. She strives to be open to whatever the universe throws her way and practice her yoga off the mat at all times. Julia believes that the best lessons can often be found in the most unusual places." Really, Julia, are you sure?
say it, sister!
I really didn't enjoy this…I feel as though people are being made fun of for their physical and emotional differences when they come out and participating in group yoga practice. I'd just as soon practice on my own…
This makes me a little hesitant to try yoga…
and this is just the problem with posts like this. The person who wrote this is showing the opposite of yoga. Honestly, it is mostly safe in the studio, and people like these keep to themselves until time to blog about what they didn't learn in yoga (union and togetherness, yoga's definition)
Think I would have trouble taking a class with you since I know you would be typing and judging me.Not the best formula for getting students.
I bet you are actually a very sweet person – but this is kinda mean. I know I know, it's a fine line between funny and mean, I am always on the wrong side of it myself. It's like looking in a mirror – maybe we should make a pact to be more careful to stay on the "kind side" of that line …
kinda mean? just kinda?
I intend to become the "senior citizen", especially when I have to go to the doctor's office (dwipada shirshasana for the gyn exam?)
I think it would behoove some people to go back and read the original 10 characters, particularly the conclusion at the end of that article. I saw the humor in this, and can see myself in many of the "characters" – I actually enjoy laughing at myself, particularly the parts of me which I'd rather let go, because I think part of my growth in this life will happen by opening myself up to the way I see myself reflected back at me through the "characters" I encounter every day. That mirror is awfully hard to look in sometimes.
seems like it's all a waste of time to me.
Not a fan, as I am trying desperately to create the idea that yoga is for EveryBody. ANd I know that EveryBody walks thru the door with his or her own story and our job as guides is to create a place that is safe and healing. I admit some of these students are a challenge, but it is easy to teach a class full of advanced students, where there is no distraction.
One of my favorite classes I teach is in the lobby of a hospital where I have students come late, leave early, old, young, flexible, inflexible, some laugh at themselves, others just like to be there and they all genuinely enjoy the practice.
to think that a teacher is stereotyping and making fun of is a bit fearful and not a class I would care to be in
I have to admit when I saw "The Sweater" my first thought was "I've never seen anyone wear a sweater to class." doh!
Kind of evokes a "Mister Rogers" image.
I think people are taking your post too seriously, Julia. I am "the klutz" quite often. If I can't laugh when I send a foam block careening across the room or lose balance due to my wandering drishti, I'd have to cry after all–and I don't want to be "the crier!"
Hi Julia, I've really enjoyed many of your other articles here at ej. I ended up being a bit uncomfortable with this one, but I do want to say that on the whole I've very much appreciated the your spirit and writing.
[…] the classes are super full of poor college kids using a first class free coupon, and you have to be right next to all sorts of people. Good thing I have a huge Manduka mat—it's what Lady Gaga uses. […]
Perhaps those of you that found this article offensive should read the first installment that concludes with: "Maybe you've encountered one, or two, or all ten of these "characters" in your yoga class. Perhaps you even fit one of the descriptions yourself. But however annoying these people may seem, they do more for our practice than we may realize. The people that we resist, the people we judge and love to hate, they're the ones we should be the most grateful for, because they are our mirrors. They show us sides of ourselves we have been unable to recognize. Yet it is for this very reason that we step onto the mat – to explore these feelings, to come to terms with them, and finally, to accept that even though we might not be there yet, we're doing the yoga, which brings us one step closer than we were before."
The point of the article is acceptance with humor.
I enjoyed both articles, thank you!
I'm a sweater. Like a ridiculous, insane, more than everyone else sweater. Not really sure what I am supposed to do about it. I have a mat towel and a wipe off towel. I station myself in the corner. I apologies to the clean up crew when I can. I am self conscious about it, but the yoga is more important than my self consciousness. Yoga has healed me in so many ways. It would be pretty crappy if your funny little list made someone who is less sure of their self walk away from yoga because the "student cleaner gets sick just looking at them".
I'm a "crier". I have clinical depression and can't decide when I will or won't burst into tears. I do yoga because it's really nice to have an hour or so where I don't have to deal with depressive thoughts, but sometimes I can't help crying. I try to put my mat up the back of the class so I don't disturb everyone if I need to duck into the bathrooms and wash my face and calm down. I try to wear clothing that covers my self-harm scars and talk quietly if I need to ask a question and not draw attention to myself and never give any sign that I'm not a "normal" person and I thought that at least in yoga class people would be less likely to be upset by me and to trash-talk me later. It's a bit discouraging to know that my lifelong mental illness is always going to stigmatise me, even in a room full of people looking to better themselves through mindfulness and acceptance.
I'm in the same boat as you, Jen- self-harm scars and all. Thankfully I've found a couple of studios where I feel safe and accepted and not stigmatized, but I have to admit, this article kind of stung. I get that it's supposed to be funny, that we shouldn't take ourselves so seriously, etc, etc. But for me, my yoga mat is the one place where I let myself be completely vulnerable- because it's one of a few places where I feel completely safe and accepted. So I can't help but take this a little personally, to be stereotyped as a "crier", and essentially judged and made fun of for showing up on my mat with all my baggage, and letting the asanas do the cleansing work that may be uncomfortable and, yes, may cause me to cry. I won't apologize for being my authentic self. I do enough of that off of my mat.
as somebody wise once said "if you haven't broken down and cried in your practice it hasn't really started yet" don't be disheartened by this internet garbage, just because someone posted it doesn't make it true
"As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgements but rain your kindness equally on all. "
― Gautama Buddha
This is why I practice yoga in my living room at 5:00 in the morning in my underwear! I can sweat, fall, blow my nose, try new things, laugh, or cry without judgment. No mean girls here to label my "character".

Adolphus William Ward
Sir Adolphus William Ward (2 December 2, 1837 in Hampstead, London – June 19, 1924) was an English historian and man of letters.
Ward was born at Hampstead, London, and was educated in Germany and at Peterhouse, Cambridge.[1]
In 1866 Ward was appointed professor of history and English literature in Owens College, Manchester, and was principal from 1890 to 1897, when he retired. He took an active part in the foundation of Victoria University, of which he was vice-chancellor from 1886 to 1890 and from 1894 to 1896. He was a Member of the Chetham Society, serving as a Member of Council from 1884 and as President from 1901 until 1915.[2] In 1897, the freedom of the city of Manchester was conferred upon him, he delivered the Ford Lectures at Oxford University in 1898, and on 29 October 1900 he was elected master of Peterhouse, Cambridge.[3]
Ward's most important work is his standard History of English Dramatic Literature to the Age of Queen Anne (1875),[4] re-edited after a thorough revision in three volumes in 1899. He also wrote The House of Austria in the Thirty Years' War (1869),[5] Great Britain and Hanover: Some Aspects of the Personal Union (1899),[6] and The Electress Sophia and the Hanoverian Succession (1903) (2nd ed. 1909).[7]
Ward edited George Crabbe's Poems (2 vols., 1905–1906) and Alexander Pope's Poetical Works (1869); he wrote the volumes on Geoffrey Chaucer and Charles Dickens in the "English Men of Letters" series, translated Ernst Curtius's History of Greece (5 vols., 1868–1873); with G. W. Prothero and Stanley Mordaunt Leathes he edited the Cambridge Modern History between 1901 and 1912, and with A. R. Waller edited the Cambridge History of English Literature (1907, etc.).
Ward served as president of the Royal Historical Society from 1899 to 1901,[8] and he was knighted by the King in 1913.[9]

Rated 1 out of 5�by Sandy Disappointing In purchasing this towel, I was in a hurry on the way to the gym. This towel, even though it does well in removing perspiration; its much like handleing 'sand-paper'! It is so harsh, that I can hardly stand to touch it. It makes my hands feel dry and rough. Who wants that? March 26, 2014

While sometimes it seems easier to pick up the pre packaged version of some of your favourite items, I always remember why fresh is better when I take the time to make something from scratch. This bruschetta is a perfect example, it took about five minutes to whip this up, and it was infinitely tastier and more satisfying than the store-bought kind. So while it may be a "basic" recipe, it definitely contains maximum flavour and satisfaction. I hope it inspires you to make something from scratch the next time you have a few minutes to spare, I know it has for me!
What are some other basic recipes you like to make on your own instead of the store-bought version?
You will need:
- Fresh tomatoes (whatever is in season is best)
- 1/2 fresh onion
- 3 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 bunch fresh basil chopped
- chopped green/black olives (optional, I made 2 versions, 1 with and 1 without)
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- sea salt and fresh ground pepper
- Italian bread or baguette

OAHU, HI (CBS NEWS) -- Supermodel and TV host Heidi Klum raced into ocean waters at a beach on the Hawaiian island of Oahu Sunday to save her oldest son, Henry, 7, who was caught in a dangerous rip current, according to Entertainment Tonight.
ET says Klum pulled Henry to shore, and that two of her family's nannies also had to be helped from the water.
Her boyfriend, who's also her bodyguard, was also seen catching his breath after the incident, according to Hawaii News Now, a service in which CBS Honolulu affiliate KGMB is involved.
In an exclusive statement, Klum told US Weekly, "We got pulled into the ocean by a big wave. Of course, as a mother, I was very scared for my child and everyone else in the water. Henry is a strong swimmer and was able to swim back to land. We were able to get everyone out safely."
There was on call to 911 and no reported injuries, says Hawaii News Now.
It says lifeguards think the incident happened at Papailoa Beach, where there was a high surf advisory Sunday, with 10-15 foot waves and a strong north wind.
"It was definitely not a day for surfing. It was very ugly and rough and challenging," said Jim Howe, Operations Chief, Ocean Safety and Lifeguard Services.
Howe says Klum may even be given an award for her actions.
"We'll see if she'll accept it or not," Hawaii News Now quotes Howe as saying. "I think what we'd like to say to Ms. Klum and her family is congratulations on being such a good mom and so vigilant, and being Johnny on the spot to stop a situation that could have been much worse."

Concomitant malaria among visceral leishmaniasis in-patients from Gedarif and Sennar States, Sudan: a retrospective case-control study

In areas where visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and malaria are co-endemic, co-infections are common. Clinical implications range from potential diagnostic delay to increased disease-related morbidity, as compared to VL patients. Nevertheless, public awareness of the disease remains limited. In VL-endemic areas with unstable and seasonal malaria, vulnerability to the disease persists through all age-groups, suggesting that in these populations, malaria may easily co-occur with VL, with potentially severe clinical effects.
A retrospective case-control study was performed using medical records of VL patients admitted to Tabarakallah and Gedarif Teaching Hospitals (Gedarif State) and Al`Azaza kala-azar Clinic (Sennar State), Sudan (2005-2010). Patients positively diagnosed with VL and malaria were identified as cases, and VL patients without microscopy-detectable malaria as controls. Associations between patient characteristics and the occurrence of the co-infection were investigated using logistic regression analysis. Confirmation of epidemiological outcomes was obtained with an independently collected dataset, composed by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) at Um-el-Kher and Kassab Hospitals, Gedarif State (1998).
The prevalence of malaria co-infection among VL surveyed patients ranged from 3.8 to 60.8%, with a median of 26.2%. Co-infected patients presented at hospital with deteriorated clinical pictures. Emaciation (Odds Ratio (OR): 2.46; 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI): 1.72-3.50), jaundice (OR: 2.52; 95% CI: 1.04-6.09) and moderate anemia (OR: 1.58; 95% CI: 1.10-2.28) were found to be positively associated with the co-infection, while severity of splenomegaly (OR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.35-0.81) and, to a less extent, hepatomegaly (OR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.27-1.01) appeared to be reduced by concomitant VL and malaria. The in-hospital case-fatality rates did not significantly differ between co- and mono-infected patients (OR: 1.13; 95% CI: 0.59-2.17). Conversely, a significantly increased mortality rate (OR: 4.38; 95% CI: 1.83-10.48) was observed by MSF amongst co-infected patients enrolled at Um-el-Kher and Kassab Hospitals, who also suffered an enhanced risk of severe anemia (OR: 3.44; 95% CI: 1.68-7.02) compared to VL mono-infections.
In endemic VL areas with unstable seasonal malaria, like eastern Sudan, VL patients are highly exposed to the risk of developing concomitant malaria. Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of malaria are essential to ensure that its co-infection does not result into poor prognoses.

VIP visitors
Lady Joséphine de Beauharnais was married to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1804 and was crowned empress in the same year. In 1810, Joséphine traveled to Switzerland using the alias «Comtesse d'Arenberg», where she also visited the St. Peter's Island. Her party of 35 people was received in style. They had a sumptuous breakfast in the Rousseau hall and spent the afternoon dancing, laughing and eating. Early that day a great number of people from the villages had gathered in the surroundings. 210 moored boats were counted, and several thousand spectators. Many of them might have thought that the empress would pay for everything, that's the only way the exorbitant sum of the bill can be explained.

Heading into the Summer of Love, Pastor John Rydgren was the crafty head of the TV, Radio and Film Department of the American Lutheran Church. The straight-looking Rydgren created a daily radio show called Silhouette in which he became the reassuring, resonant-voiced Hippy for God. Rydgren wrote, announced and programmed Silhouette, taking his musical and cultural cues from The Electric Prunes, Herb Alpert and the cover of Time (Is God Dead?), with a vocal delivery that was straight out of the school of breathy baritone radio seduction. New York's WABC-FM picked up Silhouette on a daily basis, but Rydgren and the American Lutheran Church aggressively syndicated the show beyond New York, and in that effort, they issued a double LP in 1967.

From The Mouths Of Murderers (How I Accidentally Started the Sixties)
This is the first chapter from Howard Bloom's new book How I Accidentally Started the Sixties, about which Timothy Leary said,
"This is a monumental, epic, glorious literary achievement. Every page, every paragraph, every sentence sparkles with captivating metaphors, delightful verbal concoctions, alchemical insights, philosophic whimsy, absurd illogicals, scientific comedy routines, relentless, non-stop waves of hilarity. The comparisons to James Joyce are inevitable and undeniable. Finnegans Wake wanders through the rock 'n roll sixties. Wow! Whew! Wild! Wonderful!"
(This stuff really happened. Several names have been changed to protect me from my attorney. However any lack of resemblance to actual people, living or dead, is solely due to the incompetence of the author.)
It feels a little funny to drag these stories from the depths of memory now that us baby boomers are all supposed to be picking out the patterns for our tombstones, counting our wrinkles, and trying to replicate the secret of Ronald Reagan's perpetually dark hair.… Read the rest
Trailer: Flowers and Sickles: The Psychedelic Underground of the Soviet Hippies
The hippie movement which turned hundreds of thousands of youth towards the cult of peace & love in the West wasn't absent on the other side of the Iron Curtain. The creative documentary takes us on a psychedelic road trip through time, exploring the traces of the hippie legacy in the Soviet Union – the dream which allowed the youth to feel free even under the repressive Soviet rule. The conflicting personal and social 'truths', the tension between the psychedelic and the 'rationale' are vividly revealed.

Gay Bisexual Contemporary Erotic Romance Fiction
Rating: 3 Cups
Whether it is fear of commitment or personality defect, Todd Eisenbraun is always drawn to men who are either straight or taken. In theory, he would love to have a stable relationship. In reality, he is never home long enough to make it work.
As much as Chris Potamianos loves to cook, he loves to eat even more, which is quite evident by his rather large waistline. Working for Marzipan!, the restaurant as well as Marzipan the owner, is a fabulous opportunity for Chris in so many ways.
Traveling to exotic locales as a flight attendant is a dream job for Todd, one that he takes full advantage of, especially when it comes to the men he meets. His friends at home try to set him up with a really great, single, gay guy, which means Todd is completely out of his comfort zone. Unfortunately, Chris's extra bulk also has Todd questioning any attraction he may be feeling. His coworker, Josh, is more his type–tall, skinny, straight and committed, so it does not take long for Todd to fall head over heels.
Todd is one of those people who continually beats his head against a wall yet cannot figure out why he always has a headache. Although his fear of commitment is quite evident, he also has to battle with his aversion for Chris's size. The emphasis that Chris's weight is Todd's problem, not Chris's, is actually what I think I like best about this story. These characters feel like real people with real issues, and while you may want to condemn Todd for being shallow, you have to credit him for being honest.

4 Tips on Smart Business Travel
Some people dream of a job that takes them places. Such a job indeed seems ideal–you see the world and you get paid for it, what could be better? But for people who actually have this kind of job, they might tell you that always being on the road is not as easy. Often, it's even stressful and hectic, to say the least. Provided that your job still allows you to travel (or that you still have your job during this recession/depression) that is.
Here are some guides and tips which can help you cope if you have a job which makes you a frequent traveler so you can appreciate the places you go to, despite the business engagements.
Always take your planner with you. Business trips are not like office meetings–it can take days and even weeks. You simply cannot leave the house without your planner because you have to refer to it every time you set a business meeting. Mark the dates which you'll be out of town and make sure the markings are very bold because the days that precede and succeed the days you're out of town are reserved for making last-minute trip adjustments.
Always keep a bag at the ready. Whenever you go out, there are always the things you always bring: your credit cards, your road map, your travel passport, and maybe even your razor and some clothes and undies. It would be wise if you keep some of these nitty-gritty packed inside a bag so that during the actual packing you can just add more stuff. This way, you won't always have to start from scratch when you have to leave.
If you don't travel heavily, you can check in online. Doing so will save you from lining up during personal check-ins. You can also join "Frequent Flier" programs. Being a member will reduce a lot of nerve-racking processes at the airport.
Try to give yourself a breather during the trip. Some people just make their lives more difficult by giving themselves a very tight schedule. If you can fly at an earlier hour, why do you have to fly a few hours right before the meeting? Flights get delayed all the time so the earlier the better. Getting to your destination early will give you a peace of mind that you're already settled. You can avoid a lot of stress if you're ready ahead of time.

By JAMES FRANKLIN RINEHARTPrice
Criminalizing virtue, exalting vice. The incredible advance of the organized, militant homosexual lobby over the past decade has been one of the conspiracy's great triumphs. If Americans do not arouse in themselves a sense of outrage and revulsion sufficient to roll back the rising tide of depravity, this is what we will soon face: legalized homosexual "unions," followed by homosexual marriages legally on par with heterosexual marriages; increased persecution and prosecution of individuals and groups (Boys Scouts, christian schools, churches, religious organizations) for "discrimination," "intolerance," and "hate crimes"; abolition of age-of-consent and pederasty laws; mandatory pro-homosexual classes and curricula in all schools.
Destroying beauty, perverting the culture. Although it might seem impossible that the "entertainment" fare on television or the radio could get more degenerate than it is now, that is not so. The masters of depravity intend to destroy all remaining taboos and turn the media that permeate the American home into non-stop channels of profanity, decadence, and the horrible addictive influence of hardcore pornography.
Banishing God, worshiping Gaia. The ACLU and its subversive allies in the media, the courts, and the legislative halls are pressing their militant, anti-Christian campaign with a new vengeance. If they have their way, the Ten Commandments, public prayer, "In God We Trust," One nation under God," Nativity scenes, crosses and crucifixes, biblical quotations, all of these will be expunged from public buildings, our currency, and all public events. Even private expressions of belief or private displays of religious symbols in the public arena will be prohibited as "divisive." To fill this vacuum, the new UN earth charter would be taught in all schools and posted in all public institutions. Mother Earth, or Gaia, would become the new deity and object of worship.
Bondage to bondage. First the people go from chains to spiritual faith. Secondly from spiritual faith to courage. Third, from courage to liberty. Fourth from liberty to abundance. Fifth from abundance to selfishness.
Sixth, from selfishness to complacency. Seventh from complacy to apathy. Eighth, from apathy to dependency. Ninth, from dependency and degeneracy back again to bondage.
How far along the path is America?

Iris odaesanensis (Mt. Odae Iris)
Item# 8565
In Stock
Zone: 5a to 7b,at least
Height: 8" tall
Culture: Part Sun to Light Shade
Origin: Korea
Pot Size: 3.5" pot (24 fl. oz/0.7 L)
My first knowledge of the dwarf Iris odaesanensis was during our 1997 Korean expedition when Darrell Probst spotted it growing near it's namesake, Mt. Odae. This small, 8" long, acorus-like foliaged plant prefers slightly moist soils, but is amazingly drought-tolerant. Iris odaesanensis spreads nicely to create a 2-4' wide grass-like mat of foliage in 5 years (depending on soil moisture) that remains evergreen in milder climates. A patch of Iris odaesanensis is topped in early spring with lovely, 2" wide, small white hummingbird-attracting flowers, each composed of three large and three small petals, the larger ones highlighted with a light brown blotch...a very high cute quotient.

Palpitations Copyright Paragraph Text Copyright Line Text Get Citation Citation Journal name Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Chapter 37. Palpitations Joseph Loscalzo ++ Palpitations are extremely common among patients who present to their internist and can best be defined as an intermittent "thumping," "pounding," or "fluttering" sensation in the chest. This sensation can be either intermittent or sustained and either regular or irregular. Most patients interpret palpitations as an unusual awareness of the heartbeat, and become especially concerned when they sense that they have had "skipped" or "missing" heartbeats. Palpitations are often noted when the patient is quietly resting, during which time other stimuli are minimal. Palpitations that are positional generally reflect a structural process within (e.g., atrial myxoma) or adjacent to (e.g., mediastinal mass) the heart. ++ Palpitations are brought about by cardiac (43%), psychiatric (31%), miscellaneous (10%), and unknown (16%) causes, according to one large series. Among the cardiovascular causes are premature atrial and ventricular contractions, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, mitral valve prolapse (with or without associated arrhythmias), aortic insufficiency, atrial myxoma, and pulmonary embolism. Intermittent palpitations are commonly caused by premature atrial or ventricular contractions: the post-extrasystolic beat is sensed by the patient owing to the increase in ventricular end-diastolic dimension following the pause in the cardiac cycle and the increased strength of contraction (post-extrasystolic potentiation) of that beat. Regular, sustained palpitations can be caused by regular supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias. Irregular, sustained palpitations can be caused by atrial fibrillation. It is important to note that most arrhythmias are not associated with palpitations. In those that are, it is often useful either to ask the patient to "tap out" the rhythm of the palpitations or to take his/her pulse while experiencing palpitations. In general, hyperdynamic cardiovascular states caused by catecholaminergic stimulation from exercise, stress, or pheochromocytoma can lead to palpitations. Palpitations are common among athletes, especially older endurance athletes. In addition, the enlarged ventricle of aortic regurgitation and accompanying hyperdynamic precordium frequently lead to the sensation of palpitations. Other factors that enhance the strength of myocardial contraction, including tobacco, caffeine, aminophylline, atropine, thyroxine, cocaine, and amphetamines, can cause palpitations. ++ Psychiatric causes of palpitations include panic attacks or disorders, anxiety states, and somatization, alone or in combination. Patients with psychiatric causes for palpitations more commonly report a longer duration of the sensation (>15 min) and other accompanying symptoms than do patients with other causes. Among the miscellaneous causes of palpitations included are thyrotoxicosis, drugs (see above) and ethanol, spontaneous skeletal muscle contractions of the chest wall, pheochromocytoma, and systemic mastocytosis. ++ Approach to the Patient: Palpitations ++ The principal goal in assessing patients with palpitations is to determine if the symptom is caused by a life-threatening arrhythmia. Patients with preexisting coronary artery disease (CAD) or risk factors for CAD are at greatest risk for ventricular arrhythmias as a cause for palpitations. In addition, the association of palpitations with other symptoms suggesting hemodynamic compromise, including syncope or lightheadedness, supports this diagnosis. Palpitations caused by sustained tachyarrhythmias in patients with CAD can be accompanied by angina pectoris or dyspnea, and ...
