The Who Dat Nation therapy group is now in session and has been since late Monday night when the New Orleans Saints were shellacked 34-7 by the Seattle Seahawks.
Saints fans are wrapping their collective mind around the CenturyLink Field debacle. Many are steadfast in their belief that the Saints will rebound well this Sunday night against the Carolina Panthers.
Have a look at what other fans are saying.
The "12th Man" term was started by Texas A&M. Their use of it predates the Seahawks by several decades.
A gimmicky name for your fans doesn't provide any advantage. Let's be honest, we lost to the Seahawks because their 53-man roster on the field was better. Is crowd noise important? Of course. But Seattle's fans didn't beat us, their team just outplayed it. Pure and simple.
Saints must leave the Seahawk game in Seattle. Play the team in front of you, not the one that just exposed you. Carolina is a good team that has been playing very well; however, they cannot be seen as the 2nd game against the Seahawks. And soo....block and tackle! Simple game: We have to block well such that the Panthers must respect the run...must block well so as to keep a clean pocket and allow Drew ample time to make good throws...must block well so that our offensive game plan does not become one dimensional and allow the Panthers to dictate....we MUST tackle well: get your hands on Cam and he MUST go down....his "escape-ability" (new word?) must be controlled - and early. the running backs are very tough and we have to bring them down at first contact. Receivers must not have too many yards after catch/contact. Panthers block and tackle well - WE MUST BLOCK AND TACKLE BETTER! See: simple game...block and tackle.
I am worried about Carolina's defense which is better IMO than the 49ers defense, which held the saints to 23 points at home. After monday night's game I am not sure what to expect come Sunday. The saints have a history of playing bad against physical defenses, which is exactly what Carolina is. If the offense has near perfect execution then the saints will win, but if they let carolina score four un answered touchdowns like they did last year then the saints will not win. I think Sean and RR need to pull out the old air mattress and sleep at the practice facility because they need to do some serious game planning for this matchup. WHO DAT!!
They won't shake it off...watch for a losing streak, regardless of opponents...............
The game is at home in the dome. A win is on the horizon ... or ... better be, and that's incentive enough. Lose this one and the fat lady will sing the familiar tune.
As professionals they have to put Monday's game behind them but they should play motivated. We all know that they're a better team than they showed on MNF, but it's up to them to prove it. The monkey is on their backs when it comes to road/outdoor play, so, until they overcome that with some crucial wins, they're labeled.
COME ON MAN that is just plain B S these games happen in the N FL any given Sunday

To be able to make twig crafts can be very exciting as well as fairly handy eventually. Not simply individuals are being able to 'train' and sharpen their particular craftsman ability; fortunately they are able to produce useful things that can be remarkably practical within their everyday life. People might not know that they could help to make their particular handmade picture body, dog pen dish, pen pot, and also flower vase -when they learn how to do it.
Twig craft might be easy and quite old fashioned, but a majority of individuals want it due to the simplicity. Moreover, people have been dealing with twig crafts ever since they are little. When we were little and we were allowed to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere, we liked collecting things that we consider cool and beautiful, but they turn out to be the natural products of the surrounding environments. Things like twigs, sticks, pine cones, or bark are quite common in our daily lives. When we were kids, such objects become our main focus in playing. We might turn the twigs into people or we use the pine cones for decorators. In short, using twigs for our simple yet classic and beautiful craft work is quite common and ordinary.
In short, twigs can be turned into various beautiful and artistic results. For example, when people want to have garden arbor, why should they ask for help from professional builder? They can always have their own personal do-it-yourself project where they build their own garden accessories. However, the usage of twigs should be combined with sturdy and solid wooden posts. The twigs mainly act as the decorative elements. When people want to build their own garden arbor, here are the steps to do it:
- Choose wooden posts that are solid and strong. Be sure that they aren't rotten or have defects.
- Dig up the holes for the posts. Be sure that the holes' depth is around a foot. People can fill the holes with cement when they are sure that the posts are straight enough.
- Connect the vertical posts with another smaller post. People can put the horizontal posts in level manner. Be sure that the vertical posts won't budge and strong enough to hold the horizontal ones.
- Based on the horizontal post, people can use other smaller posts – along with the twigs – to finish off the arbor.
If people want to make smaller craft like the willow twig in basket, the procedure will be easier.
- Use bigger twigs for the basket base.
- Build the basket in the style of log cabin and try to build up the basket sides. Be sure to nail each of the twig to the one on the below part until the willow twig basket finishes
- For the handle, put one twig on one particular side and nail it on the bottom and the top stave. Bend the twig to the other side and nail it to the top and also the bottom stave.
If people like natural stuffs and atmosphere for their garden, there are plenty of garden decor products that can be made of twigs. Simple flower vase from twigs can deliver homey and country-traditional atmosphere to the house. People can also make welcome sign from twigs that can be attached to the gate of their house or their garden.

ZF-6886: Cannot use dojox.data.QueryReadStore in a Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_FilteringSelect element when using Dojo with a CDN
I'm using a Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_FilteringSelect with the following parameters :

and it ends up with the following javascript error:

at the following line :

if I execute this query in the console, it works fine so it looks like the form is instanciated too early, before the javascripts can be retrieved.
Works fine when using dojo locally and not via cdn.

Today, the New England Revolution traded the rights of U.S. Men's National Team defender Michael Parkhurst to the Columbus Crew in exchange for the fourth overall pick in Thursday's 2014 MLS SuperDraft and allocation money.
Parkhurst, a member of the Revolution from 2005 through 2008, was 2005 MLS Rookie of the Year and 2007 MLS Defender of the Year before joining Danish Superliga club Nordsjælland in December 2008. A year ago, he moved to German Bundesliga side FC Augsburg. Parkhurst, 29, has earned 23 caps with the U.S. National Team.
"This deal provides us with a significant amount of flexibility, both for our salary cap and our roster, and allows us to make additional moves to continue improving our roster," said Revolution general manager Michael Burns said.
With the fourth overall selection, the Revolution now holds three first-round picks in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft – No. 4, No. 12 and No. 19 – as well as one second-round pick and one third-round pick.
Recently, several U.S. internationals have returned to MLS to be more available to train with USMNT in hopes of securing a spot on the World Cup roster.
Charlie Davies
The Revolution also signed forward Charlie Davies on a free transfer from Denmark's Randers FC. Davies spent the second half of the 2013 season on loan to the Revs and his contract with Randers was dissolved by mutual consent.
Davies, 27, made four disappointing appearances as a substitute in New England in 2013.
Once a bright prospect signed by Swedish club Hammarby in 2006, Davies was seriously injured in a fatal car accident after a night of partying and has since bounced between disgruntled clubs.
But Davies scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for D.C. United in 2011 while on loan, then returned to Sochaux and then to Randers FC last summer. Davies has scored four goals and added two assists in 17 caps for the USMNT.
Donnie Smith
The Revolution also re-signed midfielder Donnie Smith, 23, although he only made one appearance in 2013.
The Revolution drafted Smith with the 21st overall pick of the 2013 MLS SuperDraft. Smith was a 2012 NSCAA Scholar All-America at UNC-Charlotte, and scored four goals and added four assists in 19 appearances (16 starts) in his 2012 senior season.

The Report looked at the issue of 'Islamisation' in the UK and the fears associated with the notion and how this had contributed to the rise of the far right.
The documentary gave significant air time to the marginal group 'Islam4UK' and its spokesperson Anjem Choudary, as well as Cllr Alan Craig who repeated his ludicrous remark on the poor availability of non-halal meat in his local area of Newham as an example of 'creeping Islamisation'.
The documentary did point to some alarming statistics - for example, a recent YouGov poll which found that 58% of Britons associate Islam with extremism.
The Report also pointed to the worrying fact that some individuals have been attacked and intimidated by certain extremist elements in the British Muslim community and that in some cases this has led to people actively coming out in support of the EDL.
The documentary then went on to interview Douglas Murray, former director of the Centre for Social Cohesion and current associate director of the Henry Jackson, who commented on how the 'failure' of mainstream politics to get to grips with the rise of radical Islam is the cause of the frustrations of many more extreme far-right elements.
If by 'getting to grips', Murray meant in his own words that, "All immigration into Europe from Muslim countries must stop", and that "Conditions for Muslims in Europe must be made harder across the board: Europe must look like a less attractive proposition", the fact that his comments were given the tone of an 'expert' is very troubling indeed and a dereliction of duty on the part of the BBC for inviting him to offer a perspective at all.
The second part of the documentary looked at the extent to which the British far-right constitutes a real and violent threat to British society. Matthew Goodwin, a lecturer at Nottingham University commented on how the fragmentation of the far right means that there is "good reason….to be watching how this movement evolves very carefully", and Neil Malkin from Durham Police, highlighted that elements of the far right are 'organised and highly motivated', pointing to examples of far right extremists' foiled terror plots against Muslims.
In an unusual move, the BBC also invited Edmund Standing to contribute his views on the far right as an 'expert' on far-right extremism. Standing, whose expertise is on full display in his report on the BNP, has in the past downplayed significantly the Islamophobia endemic in the BNP. Standing has expressed his own frustration with the BBC for having been invited to share a platform on the programme with the democratically elected Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, whose 'moderate' credentials Standing derides on the blog, Harry's Place.
The fact that individuals such as Standing and Murray were given a platform as 'experts' on the far-right and the 'fear of Islamisation,' with little regard for their own contribution to anti-Muslim scaremongering, is troubling.
You can write to the editor of The Report or file a complaint with the BBC's complaints unit for their inclusion of Standing and Murray on the programme.

Valeria Lukyanova, the Ukrainian model who lives her life as a "Human Barbie" doll, said she has only gotten one plastic surgery and said all women want to be skinny.
"Everyone wants a slim figure," Lukyanova told GQ. "Everyone gets breasts done. Everyone fixes up their face if it's not ideal, you know? Everyone strives for the golden mean [in beauty]. It's global now."
Valeria described her blonde ice-princess look as Nordic, and said race-mixing has caused a "degeneration" in beauty standards.
For example, a Russian marries an Armenian. They have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad's nose. She goes and files it down a little, and it's all good. Ethnicities are mixing now, so there's degeneration, and it didn't used to be like that.
Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this. I love the Nordic image myself. I have white skin; I am a Nordic type—perhaps a little Eastern Baltic, but closer to Nordic."
The tiny-waisted Valeria said she's on an all-juice diet and works out three days a week and runs "a lot." Last month, the Human Barbie made headlines after revealing she wanted to convert to the extreme breatharian diet and subsist on nothing but air and light.
"In recent weeks I have not been hungry at all," said Lukyanova. "I'm hoping it's the final stage before I can subsist on air and light alone." For now, it seems she has opted for a low-calorie liquid diet instead of completely starving herself.
Meanwhile, Lukyanova said she has no desire to have children because the very thought of motherhood disgusts her. "The very idea of having children brings out this deep revulsion in me," she said. "I'd rather die from torture because the worst thing in the world is to have a family lifestyle."
Valeria also slammed rumors that her Barbie-doll beauty is the result of numerous plastic surgeries. She said she has only had breast implants, and the rest of her looks is due to makeup.
"Don't believe any stories about me having rib-removing surgeries — they aren't true," she said. "The only surgery I had was the breast surgery. My mother's waist is as narrow as mine. I inherited that from her."
When asked why she prefers to live her live as a Human Barbie, Lukyanova said she wants to inspire others. "The Barbie doll looks perfect; it was created as a human idol. I believe the way I look inspires other people to improve their appearance, eat healthy, and live a more active, creative life."

Sang Tan, Associated Press
LONDON — Prince William, Kate and their baby boy were spending their first full day as a family Tuesday inside a London hospital, thanking staff for their care but making well-wishers wait for a first glimpse of the royal heir.
As celebratory lights, gun salutes and other tributes were unleashed in Britain and abroad, William thanked staff at St. Mary's Hospital "for the tremendous care the three of us have received."
"We know it has been a very busy period for the hospital and we would like to thank everyone — staff, patients and visitors — for their understanding during this time," he said in a statement.
The couple's Kensington Palace office said Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, had given birth to the 8 pound, 6 ounce (3.8 kilogram) baby boy at 4:24 p.m. Monday, triggering an impromptu party outside Buckingham Palace and in front of the hospital's private Lindo Wing.
The palace said Tuesday that "mother, son and father are all doing well this morning."
The new family was expected to remain in the hospital until Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.
In the meantime the infant's appearance — and his name — remain a royal mystery.
Tourists and well-wishers flocked to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, lining up outside the gates to take pictures of the golden easel on which, in keeping with royal tradition, the birth announcement was displayed.
"This was a great event — yet again our royal family is bringing everyone together," said 27-year-old David Wills, who took a two-mile detour on his run to work to pass the palace. "I kind of feel as though I am seeing part of history here today."
A band of scarlet-clad guardsman at the palace delighted onlookers with a rendition of the song "Congratulations."
Other celebrations Tuesday included gun salutes by royal artillery companies to honor the birth and the ringing of bells at London's Westminster Abbey.
Halfway around the world, royalist group Monarchy New Zealand said it had organized a national light show, with 40 buildings across the islands lit up in blue to commemorate the royal birth, including Sky Tower in Auckland, the airport in Christchurch, and Larnach Castle in the South Island city of Dunedin. A similar lighting ceremony took place in Canada; Peace Tower and Parliament buildings in the capital, Ottawa, were bathed in blue light, as was CN Tower in Toronto.
The baby isn't even a day old — and may not be named for days or even weeks — but he already has a building dedicated to him.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said an enclosure at Sydney's Taronga Park Zoo would be named after the prince as part of a gift from Australia. The government would donate 10,000 Australian dollars ($9,300) on the young prince's behalf toward a research project at the zoo to save the endangered bilby, a rabbit-like marsupial whose numbers are dwindling in the wild.
British media joined in the celebration, with many newspapers printing souvenir editions.
"It's a Boy!" was splashed across many front pages, while Britain's top-selling The Sun newspaper temporarily changed its name to "The Son" in honor of the tiny monarch-in-waiting.
Beyond the newsstands, the birth of the royal baby was welcome news in a country where polls show the monarchy is as popular as any time in recent history. In the Yorkshire village of Bugthorpe — which Prince Charles was visiting as part of a tour through northern England — the baby was on everyone's lips.
"Morning Granddad," said local resident Robert Barrett, which drew a chuckle from the prince.
Back in London, there was a healthy interest in the baby's name, combined with a note of concern for his future.

With six games to go in Spring Training, it's rather obvious that the Washington Nationals have some roster decisions to make, many of which will come down to what's often called "the numbers game." In this particular case, it's options — whether and/or how many a player has left.
The No. 5 starter has been considered a battle between Tom Gorzelanny, Yunesky Maya, Ross Detwiler, and sometimes Chad Gaudin. Maya has two option years left, Detwiler has one, Gorzelanny has none. Gaudin was signed to a minor-league contract, however, he would have to clear waivers to be assigned to Syracuse, giving him a leg up.
This brings us to the battle for the long/middle relief spots. Gaudin is also a candidate there, competing against Craig Stammen and Brian Broderick. Stammen has two options left, while as a Rule 5 pick, Broderick has to be kept or offered back to St. Louis. On its face, it seems obvious: send down Stammen and keep Gaudin and Broderick, but much depends on how Rizzo, et al views these pitchers long term. Ironically, Broderick's value as a starter could result in him going back to the minors via trade or being returned.
While the announcement yesterday that Henry Rodriguez was being shut down to work on his control problems took some of the drama out of the race for the rest of the bullpen, the no-options-left status of Todd Coffey, Sean Burnett, and Tyler Clippard has them in the driver's seat, leaving the battle between Drew Storen, Doug Slaten, and Collin Balester for the remaining two spots. Storen has two options left while Slaten and Balester have one.
The conventional wisdom is that Balester is the most likely to lose this race, despite outpitching Storen thus far this spring.
It's become obvious that the Nats do plan to send down Jesus Flores to AAA to catch every day, an unfortunate turn because had Flores hit the way he had been in Winter Leagues, it could have opened up trade possibilities. Flores does have two options left.
Alberto Gonzalez has been the subject of trade rumors, but if that does not come to fruition, his lack of options gives him a slight edge over his competition of Alex Cora and Jerry Hairston Jr.
It also appears that Matt Stairs will be kept for his power potential off the bench and the ability to spell Adam LaRoche at first base from time to time, which brings us to the outfield. Michael Morse has separated himself from the pack of OFs with a spate of HRs and has put a lock on LF. With Jayson Werth the free-agent RF, the battle for CF is all that's left.
Unfortunately, it's not exactly The Treasure of the Sierra Madre in center, as it appears DC don't need no stinkin' OBP with the likes of Nyjer Morgan (.319 in '10), Rick Ankiel (.324) and Roger Bernadina (.307) as the contenders. Ankiel has no options left while Morgan and Bernadina each have one. Two of these three are likely to stick, with the loser getting optioned or cut, as one would think that Hairston's versatility may buy him a spot on the bench to offset Stairs limitations and add some right-handedness to the bench.
Should any transactions occur today, I'll put 'em here in this space along any appropriate comments.
Well, I thought a move or two like this might happen yesterday but it turned out to be today…
…Craig Stammen and Jesus Flores were both optioned to AAA Syracuse this afternoon. The former appears to paving the way for Brian Broderick to make the team as the long reliever while Flores will get the chance to play everyday and regain more arm strength as he attempts to recover his 2009 pre-injury form.
20 Responses to "The Numbers Game"
The one constant in the battle for centerfield is none of them can hit lefties, so that's Hairston's job.
The one area that most impacts us minor league seamheads is for the bullpen, as how that is handled reverberates all through the farm system.
Sue, it does seem that we have more pitchers than spots for both Syracuse & Harrisburg. And, who knows, this could even affect Potomac. Truth is, these are good problems to have.
The problem with this is, again, Jim Riggleman at his finest. You lose a bat putting Hairston in CF and he looks a lot better in the infield than the outfield. Looks an awful lot like Willie Harris redux for 2011? Before ST 2011 the talk was about Werth moving to CF in games against LF starters? This makes abundantly more sense than Hairston from both an offensive and defensive perspective as he looks pretty miserable in CF (third base and second base seem like his positions?). But, then who goes to right field if Morse is in left? This is where Marerro might have fit in 2011 if he could have learned to play the outfield by moving Morse to right and Marerro to left.
There is still a lot that is haywire about this roster.
Looks like they've added the craptacular Oliver Perez to the mix in Syracuse as well.
Looks like Ben Goessling is back … and look who else Rizzo picked up? He looks like he is going be active right up to the end. Have to think a trade will occur. The word is he is trying very hard to move Nyjer Morgan … and we've heard about Pudge and AGonz … but the problem is still pitching …
The Nationals added another arm to their bullpen inventory this afternoon, claiming left-hander Lee Hyde off waivers from the Atlanta Braves. Hyde was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. He's a 26-year-old who's flashed a power arm in the minors, striking out a career average of 8.5 batters per nine innings. But Hyde's walks kept him in the minors for his entire time with Atlanta; he's averaged 3.9 per nine innings, and had a 1.714 WHIP in 22 games with Triple-A Gwinnett last year.
who seems to be the RF in Harrisburg??/ Von Every as an org. favor??
hang around nix!!
That's an interesting question that's still TBD. Nix is more of a AAA Syracuse guy. But he may, like Gaudin, ask for his release if he doesn't make the club. He is good enough to quickly find a job somewhere.
Its more like you'll see Nix on the major league roster with Bernadina joining Brown and Frazier in the starting Syracuse outfield. I suspect Cora goes to Syracuse if Riggleman is intent on keeping Stairs as the designated pinch hitter. Stairs ostensibly replaces Morse in that role but is far worst in the field.
I can't see that lasting very long if they have the same spate of injuries they had last year?
Hmmm, either Archie Gilbert, Jesus Valdez or Bill Rhinehart?
Of all the positions on the field, other than the two months in 2009 when Morgan played way above the mean, the Nationals have NEVER had a decent CF. Not even adequate. At every other position you can name at least one guy who played better than average defense and could hit.
This has been a problem since Endy Chavez.
You're right – The list of sub-par CF goes all the way back to OD, 2005. Wilkinson, Chavez, P.Wilson, Church, Logan, JMax, etc. Morgan was the best hope to date, based on his two months in 2009, but that pretty much bottomed out in 2010. I had hope for either Morgan on a rebound, or possibly Bernadina this spring, but it seems the team is currently leaning towards a platoon of Ankiel/Hairston. Not the best option, imo.
Broderick's value as a starter would lead him to being returned? Why because he has too much value for the Cardinals to accept a trade? Couldn't he stick as a long reliever?
I'm just not sure I follow… but I have been up since 2:45.. so that might be the reason…
Nats finish 13th in Baseball America's organizational rankings.
I want Bali and Broderick. So, of course, it'll be Clippard and Coffey.
JCamp: I'm with you – Balester & Broderick have pitched well enough to earn spots. Meanwhile, Clippard has been an absolute arsonist this spring (2-2 in inherited runners scoring, 2.69WHIP, .355BAA, 12.80ERA). At least Coffey has some good peripheral numbers (3.3:1K-W, 1.38WHIP, .265BAA) going for him. Could Clippard be 'pulling a Bruney' on the team (disappointed in his contract)?

The word "tamale" means "wrapped food" and they can be traced back as early as 5,000 B.C.
Originally, they served as a nutritious and portable food for Aztec, Mayan and Incan warriors.
Today, though, tamales are a sentimental tradition that have been passed down for generations.
Carolina DeLeon of La Popular Bakery explains why they're so popular.
"I guess because they're good," she said.
There are countless ways to garnish tamales, including adding cheese dip or lemon juice.
DeLeon prefers hers with ketchup.
Although tamales are a tradition Hispanic in nature, people from all walks of life enjoy them.
Most places being taking orders for tamales a couple weeks before Christmas. Chances are, if you haven't gotten them by now, most stores and restaurants have run out.

The Diet Solution: Fat Loss Jumpstart
The Best Diet Plan is NO Diet at all
As a nutritionist, the most common question I get daily is "What is the Best Diet to
follow?" My answer is always the same and one that shocks many people. "The best
diet to follow is to follow NO diet at all." How could any nutritionist wanting to promote
health tell you not to follow a diet?"
Easy. I'm here to tell you that diets do not work. They are one of the most common
reasons people have such a hard time losing weight. People are making the mistake of
following a diet instead of following a delicious way of eating that will satisfy their
hunger, their taste buds and help them reach and maintain an optimum weight and
optimum health.
With all of the junk food, false advertising, and false information out in the world today,
how is this even possible? A delicious way of eating healthy that will help me lose
weight at the same time?
Yes, this is possible for you once you are armed with the correct information.
The best diet is going to be one that you can stick to (for more than just a week), one
that includes delicious food and one you are happy with, not to mention one that you
can maintain for a lifetime.
Here are a few tips that will help you develop the Best Diet for you:
1. Only eat food you enjoy.
Well Isabel, that would be just great, but I enjoy pizza and donuts and that sure doesn't
seem to be helping me lose weight. Yes, I agree. What I mean here is don't establish a
crash diet of cottage cheese and grapefruit if you absolutely hate those 2

NEW YORK, N.Y. - English Gardner was impressive in winning the 60 meters in 7.19 seconds Saturday at the 106th Millrose Games at the Armory.
Gardner edged out a pair of Olympic medalists in Saturday's race. Jeneba Tarmoh placed second in 7.22 and Lauryn Williams was third in 7.24.
The sophomore from Voorhees, N.J., also ran the second fastest time in the NCAA this season, trailing only a 7.16 run earlier this year by Louisiana State's Kimberlyn Duncan.
Also Saturday, Jordan Hasay finished 10th against a field of professionals in the women's Wanamaker Mile in 4:36.21.
The Millrose Games will be broadcast by ESPN on a tape-delayed basis Sunday from 5-8 p.m. Pacific.

Not so sure Boston is tickled pink about a serial feet tickler breaking into homes at night. Today, May 28 it was reported a perpetrator has been targeting college dorm rooms for the last two years, but now police reports indicate the person has been venturing into neighborhoods.
Police reports state that victims have said they have been startled awake in the middle of the night to find a stranger described as a male, about 5-foot-8, wearing a hoodie, to be tickling their feet. As soon as they wake up the male would flee the scene. Some have reported seeing him peer through their windows committing lewd acts, according to Buzzfeed.
At first the story of the Boston serial feet tickler was thought to be a myth, but on April 27, three different students reported him breaking into their place, all on the same night, as reported on Boston.com. However, Sergeant Michael O'Hara told reporters, this is not just a folk tale started by college students, this is "happening." The serial feet tickler hasn't stolen items from the victims, nonetheless, police are telling students this is something to be concerned about, because having a total stranger trespassing in the night without a clue if this person is carrying a weapon is dangerous; police have instructed residents to keep their doors locked.
This isn't the first of its type of crime. In 2006 it was reported that a "naked toe-tickler" had been terrorizing Florida women as they slept, for numerous years, reported today by the Huffington Post. But what in the world is a serial foot tickler? Apparently it's defined by psychology as fetishism; a compulsive disorder mostly seeking to fill a sexual void. Psychologist, Doctor Peter Buehler states on his website, "a typical person with a true fetish is not obsessed with sex, but in reality obsessed with dysfunctional sex … for them it becomes a compulsion that interferes in their lives" Perhaps that's why allegations of lewd peeping tom acts have also been associated with the Boston serial foot tickler?
But not all of the tickled victims are only women. Boston.com spoke with a few of the tickled victims. College student Daniel Marenzi said his encounter took place back in October. He said he thought his buddies were messing around, "trying to annoy" him, but once he realized "it wasn't anyone he knew," he flipped out but the perpetrator was already gone.
If the Boston serial tickler has moved his foot fetishism off the college campus, and has been associated with committing lewd peeping tom acts; the question police are pondering is what level is next? "You don't know what this guy is going to do." While some online wonder why the feet, apparently Dr. Buehler said, " a foot fetish is one of the most popular, or most documented fetish worldwide."
Maybe Bostonians might want to consider taking extra precautions, consider wearing their dirtiest, smelliest socks to bed? Or better yet take the police advice and keep their doors and windows locked.

1 Peter 4:12-13
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
Why do we suffer? Why do we fail? Why do our best plans end up in ruin?
God uses all circumstances in our lives to bring us closer to him. He uses our difficulty to teach us about his faithfulness. He tests our FAITH. He also uses our circumstance to help grow the FAITH of others.
How do you react? How do you respond under pressure? Is your faith demonstrated?
As Christians, we are called to a higher calling. In difficulty, failure, and tragedy, we are called to look to God. We are called to activate our FAITH and demonstrate our trust in God's protection. This is fundamental to our spiritual growth. God uses our circumstances to teach us to better trust. He builds on this trust by delivering. It is commonly said "that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger". This is true on many levels. God can use our problems to demonstrate his faithfulness to us – if we trust. This strengthens our FAITH – makes our FAITH stronger. God delivers. FAITH is progressive.
Also – always remember – others are watching. How we react to trouble shows others our true FAITH. It shows how much we trust God. How do others see you reacting? Do you exhibit stress and concern? OR Do you trust God and his promises? Our FAITH can help our fellow believers to advance spiritually and progresses their FAITH. All we have to do is TRUST.
James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
What a punctuation mark! We are to be the followers of Christ we are called to be. Our Christian walk is to focus on living out what we claim to believe – in any and all circumstances. AND, we get a bonus. Our difficulties, if we response in FAITH, strengthens us. Gives us the perseverance to finish our "race". The PROMISE is that our FAITH, when activated, will ultimately grow us spiritually.
Follow Christ and His values, regardless of the circumstance.
Consider it a joy!

I've named this August favourites, although really these are some of the makeup items that I've been reaching for throughout the summer months. There's also only a small selection as I'm blogging on the go at the minute, so there's a little shout out at the end for those that I've missed out.
Ecotools Face Brush
I'll start with my Ecotools face brush. This is one that I've actually owned for quite a while now, but just come back to. It's super soft and bouncy bristles are perfect for pretty much everything which involves large areas of the face. Ive currently been using this to powder, set and bronze my face. It feels lovely to use, like a real quality face brush.
Bdellium Tools Eye Brushes
The other two brushes pictured are actually fairly new to my collection. I puchased them online at cutecosmetics.com, one of my favourite sites for vegan beauty bits. I loved the look of these and so decided to go with the tapered crease brush and fluffy blending brush from the pink range. These are also amazing brushes. I've been able to create a huge range of looks using both of these. The crease brush is the perfect size to apply shadow exactly where you want it, meaning you can create really neatly graduated smokey eyes and achieve the depth needed for a really dramatic eye. Then over the top of that, the blending brush is perfect for going over all that work, to soften things out and make it all blend beautifully. Both brushes are soft and haven't shed whatsoever. As far as I'm concerned these were a quality buy.
B. Groomed Eyebrow Pencil
Also pictured is yet another product from a brand I have been regularly raving abut, B. Cosmetics. After having been using powder to define my brows I wanted to give a pencil a try to see how that made a difference to the look I wanted to achieve. B. has once again provided the perfect tool. This pencil is double ended, one of which is a setting wax. It also includes a small brow brush, which I never bother using as it seems a little spindly if I'm honest. The product itself however is fantastic. Its a perfect colour match, is soft enough to blend out into a smooth shape and also stays put until the time comes to wash it off. This pencil has really helped my perfect my brow routine.
B. Long Lasting Nail Polish
Staying true to my word and singing the praises of B. Cosmetics a little more, I have also been enjoying their polishes. I've already briefly mentioned these in a previous post but I have been meaning to give them and entire post of their own because they're just that good! If I have been wearing nail polish at all this summer, it was no doubt one of the two above. Both gorgeous summery colours which add a lively pop of colour to any outfit.
Concrete Minerals Sexy Lips Lip Tint
Whilst road testing a number of vegan products, I bought a few bits from concrete minerals, including this lip tint. If I'm honest I wasn't expecting much but this has become a permanent resident in my handbag this summer. It smells like peppermint and leaves the lips feeling lovely and tingly whilst also brighting the lips with a pretty pink colour. The pink itself is slightly to dark to come off natural, but I like that as a 'wash' of colour is usually never noticeable or dissapears within minutes. It is also extremely wearable and compliments a subtle pink blush perfectly, I will after pop a bit of this on to spruce up an otherwise bare or day-to-day look. This is by far one of the best vegan lip products I've ever tried and it's extremely affordable!
Sleek Contour and Highlight Kit
This has been raved about on many a blog, so I don't feel the need to write too much, though it certainly is a quality product. Whilst I would say that for me, the bronzer doesn't quite hit the mark, as I'm someone who likes a bolder contour, the highlight is absolutely stunning. I have searched for a good highlight for a long time, often finding ones that were too glittery, to greasy or simply too invisible. This one, however, gives the perfect glow. I never go on a night out without it!
So there are my favourites, we're there any that you particularly love? Or even loathe? let me know in the comments below.
And of course, my little shout out! Just after arriving back from Grenada I treated myself to a little online haul, which was for the most part, from Kiko cosmetics. There didn't appear to be much about the brand in the ways of blogs, so I simply bought a few things which I was in need of. No doubt I will be writing a post soon, exclusively about the brand as I have fallen head over heels with some of their products. They are a real quality brand with reasonble price tags, so I would really recommend checking them out. They're available to order online at http://www.kikocosmetics.co.uk/
Thanks for reading! X

As much as we wish our teeny apartment kitchens had the space (and our pocketbooks had the budget) for a great knife set, we've come to terms with the fact that we're just going to have to make do with space (and money!) saver items. We've been using this Pinzon Santoku Knives and Bamboo Cutting Board Set ($35) for a few weeks now, and couldn't be happier. It's compact so we can store it in a drawer when we're not using it, and it's cost-effective. We can get by slicing and dicing most of our meals with just these two Santoku knives. We're no Food Network Stars, but we get by and even sometimes impress ourselves with our kitchen skills. That's all that counts, right?

Research at Centre for Ice and Climate
Ice caps consist of snow depositing during the last many millennia, and ice cores drilled at the right locations contain samples of past precipitation. When analysed, the ice cores reveal climatic information from time periods far back in time, while the individual layers sometimes still show how climate changed from year to year.
At Centre for Ice and Climate, researchers study the ice caps and ice cores using state-of-the-art laboratories and computer models, thereby improving our knowledge of past, present, and future climate.
Choose a topic below to learn more about the work at Centre for Ice and Climate:

This is 2 coats of William Tell Me About OPI and 1 coat of Seche Vite on top.
I had so much trouble photographing this! It looks a bit too red in my pictures, but in real life it has much more of a purple cast. I love this vampy look. It is beautiful. The Swiss Collection is still one of my all-time favorites that OPI has done. Everyone should own at least one color from it.
What do you think? What is your favorite vampy shade?

The Athlon64 X2 3800+, a dual-core 2.0GHZ processor with 512kb per-core cache, will be available to wholesalers for a mere $354, less than half of the price of other X2 variants. In comparison, the X2 4200+ retails for $555 and the 4400+ is well above $700. With a price much more in-line with a similair Intel offering, we'll be able to actually pick up a decent dual-core Athlon workstation without paying through the nose. Definitely a good thing for us AMD fans.
AMD is already reducing Athlon prices across the board, and likely we
will see a price drop for the 3800+ as well in the not so distant
future. A dual-core holiday X2 may be in order.

I upgraded my MacBook Pro (Early 2009) with a Samsung 830 SSD with 256GB and an iFixit hard drive bay. After cloning my harddrive with Carbon Copy Cloner to the SSD I put the SSD into the MacBook Pro and booted from it. It runs smooth, but Software Update and iTunes (and other apps) can't connect to their servers. Even Dropbox failed, while Google Drive gets a connection after reinstallation. Browsing and mailing havn't problems, too.
Someone could point out a possible reason and fix for that?

The Dionne Warwick Legends Series interview at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on Wednesday, June 26 at 7 p.m. has been cancelled due to an urgent personal matter of Ms. Warwick's.
About Dionne Warwick
Dionne Warwick's career has spanned more than 48 years, establishing her as an international music legend. She has earned more than sixty charted hits and sold over 100 million records. She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with "Don't Make Me Over." By 1970, she had racked up more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, "Walk on By," "Anyone Who Had a Heart," "Message to Michael," "Promises, Promises," "A House is Not a Home," "Alfie," and the theme from "The Valley of the Dolls."
Ms. Warwick received her first Grammy Award in 1968 for her classic "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" and a second Grammy Award in 1970 for the best-selling album, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." In 1974, she hit the top of the charts with "Then Came You," a million-selling duet with The Spinners. In 1976, Arista Records label-mate Barry Manilow produced her first Platinum-selling album, "Dionne," which included the back-to-back hits "I'll Never Love This Way Again," and "Déjà vu." Both recordings earned Grammy Awards, making Ms. Warwick the first female artist to win the Best Female Pop and Best Female R&B Performance awards.
Ms. Warwick's 1982 album, "Heartbreaker," co-produced by Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, became an international chart-topper. In 1985, she reunited with producer Burt Bacharach and longtime friends Gladys Knight, Steve Wonder and Elton John to record the landmark song "That's What Friends Are For," which became a number one hit record around the world and the first recording dedicated to raising awareness and major funds for the AIDS cause, which Ms. Warwick continually supports.
Throughout the 80's and 90's, Ms. Warwick collaborated with many of her musical peers, including Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Luther Vandross, Jeffrey Osborne, Kashif and Stevie Wonder. Most recently, she recorded an album of duets, "My Friends and Me," (Concord Records) and a much anticipated Gospel album, "Why We Sing," (Rhino Records). She is currently finishing a new album of the music of legendary composer Sammy Cahn. Most recently, Ms. Warwick added "author" to her list of credits with a best-selling children's book, "Say A Little Prayer."
Always one to give back, Ms. Warwick has supported and campaigned for a number of causes and charities near to her heart, including AIDS, The Starlight Foundation, children's hospitals, world hunger, disaster relief and music education, for which she has raised millions of dollars. A New Jersey school was named in her honor, The Dionne Warwick Institute in recognition of her support and accomplishments.

A Synthetic Molecule Instigates Cancer Cells To Self-Harm
Cancer News - G J E 4
Scientists have devised a method to outwit cancer cells and instigate them to self-harm, ultimately causing death of cancer cells. This novel discovery could unlock reliable treatments for cancer.
This discovery works on the known principle that involves the activation of the body's many defenses, to check the abnormal growth of cells; the way to achieve this is to get the faulty cells to kill themselves. This natural process, termed as apoptosis, involves he role of a protein called procaspase-3. When triggered, procaspase-3 changes into an enzyme called caspase-3, that causes the cells to die.
AdvertisementDuring cancer, this mechanism in the body is rendered defective, which is why the abnormal growth of cells carries on unchecked. Often the cancers are pretty strong to combat the natural defense forces in the body, and are stronger than the chemotherapy drugs.
But Paul Hergenrother, a chemist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has discovered a method to get the natural biological process, to go on unimpeded, which is to have a synthetic molecule that actually triggers apoptosis. For this, the team scrutinized 20,000 different compounds that portrayed the abilities to change procaspase-3 into caspase-3. This potent molecule was termed as PAC -1
PAC-1 was found to be able to obliterate many types of cancer cells, but its efficacy was based upon the levels of procaspase-3 in the body.
Quoting the words of Prof Hergenrother, "As such, the potential effectiveness of a compound such as PAC-1 could be assessed ... with a high degree of accuracy, and people with cancer could be pre-selected for treatment with a procaspase-3 activator based on the concentration of procaspase-3 in their tumor cells."

Bonnie Garcia is officially the first elementary school in UISD and Texas to become a zero victimization school.
During the celebration, Principal Dr. Cordelia Nava cheerfully accepted a congratulatory proclamation from radKIDS program CEO/Founder Stephen M. Daley.
Nava said that she and her staff were honored by the recognition and that everyone at her campus would continue to work together to maintain a safe learning environment.

I use Speer GDHP -115,124,and 147.

Even though I'm a big fan of the .40 Cal I was considering the m&p 9c for carry dose any one have any experience with this gun and are there any suggestions on a good defensive ammo that's controllable out of this short barrel?
I bought one for my wife, and I have carried it a couple of times. We both love it, very easy to conceal and she shoots it great. She carries Federal 147gr. HST'S in it and they shoot great, but we have not had any issues with anything we have shot out of it. Overall it is a great CCW choice. IMHO
tip top cc!
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
If you like 40, then carry a M&P40c like I do.
You will be surprised with the lack of recoil with the 40 and there by how controllable it is. One less ammo to stock.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
I own one of these guns. It carries like a dream, and is plenty of punch. Recoil is nill, and follow-up shots are spot on. 12 round mags.
The gun came with two supplied mags;
one that sits flush, and another with a finger grip 2 the end of the mag. Honestly, niether 'print' when U carry. I have mine in a Don Hume JIT, OWB, and it's barely noticable, even with a t-shirt. If you choose IWB, it disappears completely.
Carry ammo is either Federal EFMJ, or Gold dot 124.
Whoops forgot... Use gold dots, or rangers. Any of the big names that make high quality SD ammo are pretty good.
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
yup, great gun and there are tons of good SD ammo out there now days Golden Sabres, Gold Dots,the new Ranger stuff...just tons.
Carry the 9c on and off. Usually with Speed Gold Dot Short Barrel.
Battle Plan (n) - a list of things that aren't going to happen if you are attacked.
Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
Just bought the M&P 40 compact last week. Went to the range today, and went thru 100 rounds. Out of the box, 0 hiccups. Was very smooth and pretty accurate. Less recoil than I expected. I was shooting at 20 yards and was very pleased.
I always go for the Federal HST. If the barrel's less than 3", I'll use +P 147 grain. If it's over 3", I'll use standard pressure 147 grain.
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~Paul Howe
I have a full size 40S&W and my dad and uncle have the 9mm compact they love this gun and it hides very well. heck even the full size hides well. I think Smith and Wesson have a deal going on right now. Buy a new M&P get TWO free extra magazines with it! I did this deal when it first came out. It is awesome.
NRA Certified Rifle/Pistol Instructor
Accuracy ALWAYS WINS! So carry what you can hit with.
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
I carry one with 124-gr. +P Gold Dot Short Barrel.
There's no real question about 'controllable' ammo in this gun. It has pretty much no recoil.
Rowe/Higgins 2016!
The M&P9c would be a great choice. It is one of the five M&P's that I own and love.
I would choose Federal HST 124gr ammunition for self defense.

I was very impressed with the amount of time Dr Peoples spent with me explaining my situation and offering a more conservative approach than previous surgeons. He followed up with a personal call after my epidural and was patient with my decision to have surgery. I wish other doctors had such a terrific bed side manner.
Excellent care; inspires confidence in surgical procedure to be performed; answers all questions in easily understandable language; I give Dr. Peoples an unqualified recommendation .... I am now pain free following severe herniation of a disk in my lower back that was causing unbearable, excruciating pain.
Doctor Peoples is a true professional with an amazing caring heart. He has been so helpful to me and to my family whom he has also served.
Dr. Peoples is an AMAZING doctor! He saved my life and gave me the power to take charge of my own care and surpass every professional prognosis I received! His care and kindness has set the bar for all other doctors I employ to reach. Honestly, I do not have the words....
Very nice, kind, explains, and is not "rushed". His staff is a reflection of his personality, helpful and there for you. Surgery is scheduled in 2 weeks. I have every confidence that I will be fine.
Dr. Randal Peoples is the best of the best neurosurgeons in his field. The most competent doctor not only because of his knowledge, kindness, compassion, great heart, and a great listener t and communicator. When I saw doctor Peoples after seeing an spine doctor, I realized how the surgery proposed by doctor Peoples was my best choice because was way less invasive than the other proposed surgery. After months of extreme pain and therapy Doctor Peoples was so kind and scheduled me as soon as he could, he saw me at his office even after hours. My appointment was on Friday and my surgery was the following Monday. What a great doctor, I was walking around the room the same day of surgery, my pain was almost gone, I had only the pain related to the surgery. 10 days later I am walking with almost no restrictions. Thank you Doctor Peoples and staff. GP
Dr. Peoples did a laminectomy for me over 12 years ago. Of all the doctors I have known, he is the most personable, most compassionate and most skilled.
I am convinced that Dr. Peoples is a very competent neurosurgeon. Of equal importance he is great person - compassionate, a good listener and a great communicator.
Dr. PeoplesPeoples was on time and did not rush with my time at all. He is very compassionate and listened to everything I had to say.I could tell by his questions that he really was trying to find the best solution to my problem, with the least invasive solution possible. I had total confidence in him and I healed with " back too normal" results. He truly gave my life back to me.
Dr. Randal Peoples has recently performed a lumbar laminectomy on my back. He has done an excellent job. I am completely recovered and returned to work after 10 weeks. I have absolutely no pain when walking. I highly recommend him to anyone who has back pain. I like him very much
On May 10th 2014, Dr. People's performed a C6 / C7 fusion on my neck. My experience with him was amazing. I was in chronic pain taking 4 Hydrocodone pills a day to function, and could not lay down. For 5 months I slept in a lazy boy chair, and went through every nonsurgical option available to me, including steroid injections in my neck. When the injections failed, surgery was my last option. I was fortunate to find Dr. People's and to have him perform the surgery on me. He was wonderful, and St Rose Hospital where he performed the surgery was great. Every step along the way I felt informed, and comfortable with my decision to have surgery with Dr. People's. He spent time with me to help me understand my MRI results, and was up front about the procedure, and what to expect before and post surgery. Las Vegas is very fortunate to have such a skilled neurosurgeon as Dr. People's.
Dr. Randal Peoples is the BEST DOCTOR. He brought me back to my normal life after being very miserable and in terrible pain due to my severe spinal stenosis. Very detailed and explained the procedures, what caused it, recovery time, etc. Very compassionate. I still have to see a doctor, who, during and after the surgery, will personally call my husband to update him of the procedure. Called me while I was in the hospital to check on me. You are the best
I can honestly say I have never met a doctor like Dr. Peoples. His bedside manner and professionalism is beyond compare. I was admitted to the hospital after an ER visit, I did not have a good feeling when the first surgeon came to talk with me. I asked the nurse about getting a second opinion and Dr. Peoples came, what a relief. He instantly put me at ease, had copies of my MRI to show what was going on in there and was willing to sit and talk with me about the procedure and what to expect. I would recommend him to my family and friends in a heart beat. It's very obvious that he is particular about his work and incredibly intelligent, as well as a people person...what a rare find in a doctor!
Dr. Peoples is the BEST Dr. I have ever been to. He is a Neurosurgeon but operating is the last option he takes when treating a patient. He will exhaust all avenues and methods before operating on a person. For that I cannot say how thankful I am. It saved my husband a needless surgery for a problem that wasn't spine related. I was so impressed with Dr. Peoples and his staff that I became a patient after my husbands treatment. THANK YOU Dr. Peoples for asuccessful and very happy patient!
Dr. Peoples is the most Wonderful and knowledgeable Drs. I have ever been to my entire life. He did a discectomy on my L5/S1 and I am doing Great! This man is a God send, the rest of the medical community needs to learn from him. The staff is also as amazing, do not hesitate about going to him. THE BEST!!!!
I had suffered a pretty big disc herniation on my L5S1 and have seen many doctors over the past 3 years. I was referred to Pain Management specialists, Neurologists and finally Neurosurgeons. Some of the most prominent Neurosurgeons in my area said that basically there is nothing they can do for me. They said my herniation is not significant based on the MRI and that my pain probably comes from arthritis and an unhealthy spine. Meanwhile I was still suffering from daily pain. When I first met Dr. Peoples what impressed me immediately is that he spent well over an hour with me examining my range of motion and strength. He looked over my MRIs and listened intently to me. After our conversation he felt that he could solve my problem with a microdiscectomy. However, he said because many people heal a herniated disc with a specific physical therapy that focuses on the McKenzie method he first wanted me to try this. He referred me to a McKenzie specialist in hopes that surgery wouldn't be necessary. I went to the specialist that he referred me to who reduced my pain by 30% over 4 weeks. I still felt the pain and went back to Dr. Peoples resolved to have the microdiscectomy. It was the best decision I've ever made. I am 2 months post op and feel like a new person. My pain is already 90% reduced from what it was pre-op. I healed beautifully and I'm sure it is because I was in such gifted hands as Dr. Peoples. I can now sit on the floor and read to my kids and carry my groceries and do basic everyday things without pain. I also no longer take any medication for pain and feel that I face every day with a much clearer head. Dr. Peoples is truly a gifted surgeon who cares deeply about his patients. He is that diamond in the rough that is so hard to find. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for giving me my life back.
He fixed my problems
this dr and his staff made me feel like they really cared. The were outstanding in getting me diagnosed and needed surgery the next week. I was admitted the next week and out of the hospital the following day. I had my fullest confidence in his ability to get the right job done correctly without complications along with a quick full recovery. I highly recommended Dr. peoples to anyone needing spinal surgery. He is a real professional who is excellent in his field. I can't thank him enough as I am a very active individual. Thank you and your staff for giving me my life back
My story is really two stories wrapped in one. I went to see Dr. Peoples last fall because of pain and discomfort related to two herniated discs in my neck. He spent a lot of time with me during the examination and thoroughly explained everything. He was so easy to talk with that towards the end of my visit I asked him for a recommendation for a neurologist for my 22 year old son who was experiencing rapid muscle deterioration and loss of strength in both hands and forearms. He was told by a local neurologist that nothing was wrong. I am a registered nurse and have worked at physician offices so I know how busy doctors are moving from one patient to the next but Dr. Peoples took the time to talk to me about my son and his current situation. I left his office that day and began physical therapy and home treatments for my neck. I returned the following month having some relief from physical therapy however my spirit was shattered. The week before, Dec 8th, my son was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. This is a fatal condition with an average life span of 2 to 4 years. I broke down in his office and shared with him my devastating news. He was so warm, kind and comforting. In the months that followed my symptoms worsened and I was miserable both physically and mentally and I finally made the decision to have surgery. Each time I went in for a follow up Dr. Peoples always asked me how my son was doing. During this period my son had a second opinion at USC and a third opinion at Mayo. Dr. Peoples was masked up and wheeling me into the surgical suite when he asked me what Mayo had said about my son. I told him the "good" news that it was felt he did not have ALS but a little known and very rare condition called Hirayama disease. Dr. Peoples laughed and said what the heck was that! I laughed too and said I had no idea but the good news was we were told he was no longer dying, however the bad news was he could never fight again. My son has been training for years to become a professional MMA fighter and as relieved as he was he was devastated to face giving up his dream. He had had a successful amateur career and was on the cusp of becoming a professional fighter. My surgery went well and the pain, numbness and burning that plagued me constantly before surgery were gone. When I went in for my two week follow up appointment I had a big smile on my face because I physically felt so much better. Dr. Peoples checked me out and was happy with my progress. Once he completed the exam, he asked me for the name of the diagnosis again. Dr. Peoples never believed my son had ALS and now questioned the Hirayama diagnosis and asked if he could see him. We made arrangements for him to come in as a new patient. One the day of his visit, Dr. Peoples spent a lot of time examining my son, reading articles on Hirayama and reviewing the large stack of medical records. Then he put the MRIs up on the screen. My son and I watched as he quietly and thoroughly examined page after page of films. Finally he said, "take a look at this." After seeing 4 neurologists, getting three painful EMGs and three MRIs, watching his hands and forearm muscles rapidly deteriorate (his fine motor skills were so bad he could not open a water bottle) and spending months thinking he was dying, Dr. Peoples gave us the real diagnosis. My son had a herniated disc! It was so severe it was protruding into the spinal canal. He told us that with surgery the nerves should regenerate and his muscles had a change of coming back. My son and I were stunned. It was a miracle to us. Three days later my son had surgery. That was ten weeks ago and he is making slow and steady progress. He can hold a grip longer now, the shakiness and tremors in his hands are mostly gone and he can twist open a water bottle cap again. It will take a year to two year before we know the full extent of his recovery but we are very hopeful that he will get all his muscle and physical ability back again. I have been in the medical field all my life and know how remarkable it is that a physician took the time to listen to a patient about someone else and cared enough to take interest in it. Dr. Peoples gave us both our lives back. He is truly an amazing human being and he will always be my hero. I thank God everyday for his kindness and expertise.
Dr. Peoples is one of the BEST Neurosurgeons I have ever dealt with in more 15 years of working & dealing in Personel and professional care for people.
I am so thankful to have had back surgery performed by Dr. Randal Peoples. He is an AMAZING surgeon and has a GREAT bedside manner. He really cares about people and their overall health! Have already recommended him to others!
That's a big statement to make and stand behind, but I do. I am so fortuante to know him and my family is even more fortunate and blessed to have had him "driving the bus" when my father fell ill. HE IS THE BEST. Period. End of story. I proudly refer him to all of my family and friends.
Dr. Peoples treated my 5 month old son after he contracted viral meningitis. He was very compassionate & thorough.
Dr. Peoples has been a blessing to our family. Not only is he a skilled surgeon but he truly cares about his patients and their families. My daughter who is his patient has referred to him as "my Dr. Peoples" since the first time he did surgery on her at 2 years old. He always has had her best interest in mind and only does surgery when it is truly needed.
Randal Peoples is an excellent neurosurgeron. His skill and knowledge are demonstrated by the care he provides his patients. He is very well liked at St. Rose Dominican Hospitals. He is excellent with both pediatrics and adults.
I saw dr. Peoples for a problem with my back. He was very thorough and explained to me exactly what was wrong. I appreciated the fact that he was not just going to throw medication at me. He gave me some exercises to do and I have been problem free since.
After being told by two other surgeons that the only solution was back surgery, I was referred to Dr. Peoples by a friend. Dr. Peoples listened to all of my concerns and spent 45 minutes evaluating my lower back. I was fully prepared for him to suggest surgery to solve my back pain. I was completely surprised by his recommendation, which included exercising and loosing weight. Dr. Peoples honesty, compassion and over all concern for my well being was a welcomed surprise. I have followed his recommendations for the past 12 months and I can honestly say I am 95 percent better than I was a year ago. I have recommended Dr. Peoples to several friends and they too have raved about his wonderful care. Thank you so much, Dr. Peoples.
When my husband found a large growth at the base of his skull we were in a panic. We knew of Dr. Peoples outstanding reputation and got approval thru our insurance company to travel from CA to Las Vegas, NV to be treated by Dr. Peoples.We were greeted warmly by his outstanding staff and impressed immediately by by Dr. Peoples comforting bedside manner. He explained everything in a way that we understood and helped diminish our fear.On the day of surgery Dr. came into the waiting area and reassured me so my wait was much less stressful.After surgery Dr.and my husband chose to use ibuprohen for pain as neither prefer to deal with the problems narcotics cause, although they were an option that most of us would like to choose not to use unnecessarily.Once my husband returned to CA with a clean bill of health we received multiple follow up calls. Dr. Peoples also informed our primary care of the proceedure and follow up care.Thank You Dr. Peoples...no one else will EVER be our neurosurgeon!
My Mother has been treated by Dr. Peoples for the last six months and not only has he diagnosed a medical issue that had eluded other physicians for years, but he has also successfully eliminated the problem. He also went out of his way to correct mistakes and screw ups made by other physicians as well as medical and rehab facilities. I would not want to undergo medical treatment without being on Dr. People's watch. He is truly and asset to Las Vegas - we are lucky he is practicing here.
Dr. Peoples is the best doctor in town!I would not trust myself or any loved ones (not even my dog!!) to anyone else.
I have been in the care of Dr. Peoples for many years. To say he is a great Dr. is an understatement. He is one of the most caring and compassionate people you'll ever meet. Other doctors could learn from him. While many are quick to operate, he takes the time to see if there are alternative measures, ie: exercises, physical therapy, etc. for your problem before putting you under the knife. I have recommended many people to his office, and everyone has called to thank us for the recommendation. He is a life saver literally!

Learning Perl, 6th Edition is an update to the classic beginner's text for the Perl language. Perl version 5.14 features are introduced, although older versions of Perl will suffice for most of the content.
The book is intended to introduce the basic elements of Perl in a tutorial fashion. It does not teach programming, and essentially provides the reader with enough language tools to create short Perl scripts. Most examples are straightforward and easily absorbed, although they are somewhat artificial (Flintstones characters aren't usually the subjects of Perl scripts).
Each chapter ends with exercises, which are really essential for the beginner to complete – this is where you actually use the language elements and learn to incorporate them into a larger program.
Users who do best working through a single example and building it into a working program may not enjoy this book, due to it's "bottom-up" approach to Perl. Without prior Perl experience, you will finish the book having a strong grasp of the building blocks used by the language ( variables, loops, etc .), but will need further reading to round out your education and produce more complex programs. That is not a negative reflection on the book or it's context, just a recognition that the approach used is not for everyone.
Overall, excellent work from a highly respected and experienced team of Perl trainers, well worth the time invested by the reader.
