Fantastic! This is just what we need to combat the task force's recommendation. Hopefully, Dr. Otis Brawley, head of the ACS, will have the courage to watch this (he opposes PSA screening). I am also sending this link to Shannon Brownlee and her cohort Jeanne Lenzer, who wrote an article in the NY Times in support of non-testing on the grounds that it leads to unnecessary surgery. Good for you, Dr. Myers!
Dr. Myers,
I nearly stood up and cheered after listening to your latest videoblog on prostate cancer screening. You are right on the money on all aspects. I told my wife ten years ago that there would be an intergenerational struggle and the way the government Medicare system treats older men bares this out. You are aware, I'm sure, that Medicare won't pay for the annual CT scans that Dr. Dattoli sensibly believes are necessary to detect any metathesis for cancer patients. That amounts to about $1000 per year out of my pocket. What happens to men who can't afford this?. What upsets me is the Medicare conclusion that the test are "unnecessary!" Who the hell are these faceless beaucrats anyway?
Keep up the good work.

Wow! Thanks Dr. Myers for recognizing us veterans! I am former Marine who served in Vietnam. I have stage 3 prostate cancer and am currently being treated here in Columbus Ohio at the James. Gleason was an 8, prostate removed, 39 radiation treatments and now on intermittnent hormone therapy. I have our cancer support group meeting tonight and we will be viewing one of your talks on DVD. Thanks again for what I consider your best video and taking a stand.

P.S. I am considering making an appt. with you for a second opinion
My dad was in the army for 30 years, did two tours in VietNam and has the bronze and silver stars. 5 years ago at age 70 he had his prostate removed because of cancer. Now he's being told if they'd left it alone he would ultimately have died of old age, not cancer. And now he uses pads to control the leakage caused by the surgery. I assume he had the indolent type that Dr Myers talked about and I wonder if the doctor knew that five years ago. Was the doctor needing surgery practice? Or extra income?
Your comments about the Viet Nam era make sense to me. I did not participate in the war either, though many of my students did. It was a bad experience for many — and you are tracing the end results of that era.
I thank you for doing this. I had Gleason Score of 3+3 [which Dr. Robert Leibowitz wanted reread — to get a 3+4 reading]. I started with chemotherapy and bailed out after 9 of 12 sessions and chose to go with alternative therapy in 2006. My current urologist agreed to see me in six months because my PSA is about 30 where it has been sense I returned to the US from teaching in Eastern Jerusalem in 2008. In my opinion, my urologist is correct in diagnosing my case as the indolent variety of which you speak. At the same time, I need the PSA readings to remedy that effect in my continued treatment.
In cases like this I tend to want to follow the money. Who benefits from an increase in metastatic prostate cancer? Would it be overly cynical of me to suggest: Big Pharma? Can't think of who else. Lots of hormone treatment in the offing. But surely they'd never…………….
Amen, Dr. Myers!!
Dear Dr. Myers,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The first ten minutes summed up exactly how I feel about the screening and the task force's recommendation. I believe your comments in the following portion are even more important. You mention how older men are being treated by society. Well, it's not just older men. Look at how the relief agencies behaved after the Haitian earthquake- giving food and necessary supplies to women, but not men. Our homeless shelter for women has private rooms, a kitchen area, etc, etc. The men get bunks in a common room and have to be gone the entire day. Don't even get me started on how fathers are treated in "family" court, or how the media treated Mr. Becker's genital mutilation at the hands of his wife, Catherine Kieu.
You bet young men are paying attention! Bill Bennett recently joined the chorus of voices trying to shame younger men into "manning up!" and becoming fodder for the system. Mr. Bennett didn't really illuminate why this might be in any man's best interest. A recent survey in Japan found that over 60% (!) of men self-identified as "grass-eaters". One 22-yr old explained that the grass-eaters are a "diverse group of men who have no real desire to live up to traditional social expectations in their relationships with women, their jobs, or anything else." Is this where we're heading?
Dr. Myers, thank you for this, in a word, OUTSTANDING 100% accurate video-blog. You know me, for you have played a major role in helping me control and manage my recurrent prostate cancer since Oct. 1 2003 and therefore I am still alive at age 72 in December of this year. It is your intellect and heart felt passion that are completely present in all of you video-blogs. I agree with all that you said in this video-blog. For as you know I am a Vietnam Vet who, was on more than one occasion, exposed to Agent Orange. I fully intend to not go quietly into the night no matter what this current administration and congress wants. I and all of the other recurrent prostate cancer patients must stand together and make all of are voices heard in our government. Thank you again Dr. Myers.
Dear Dr Myers
Thank you very much. I am Australian and I am following you very closely. I appreciate the information and admire your strength and commitment. All the very best to you. Cheers , Chris
A loud cheer from DownUnder also! And, of course, the age discrimination is not only happening in USA, believe me!
As a grateful patient of Dr. Myers, and member of the choir he preaches to in this video, I can hardly be expected to do any less than express my wholehearted agreement with his rejection of the decision to recommend against PSA screening for prostate cancer. I cannot accept that simply screening for disease could cause what appear to be poor treatment decisions by the medical practitioners in the field.
My own case is a counter example: additional timely screening may have resulted in my receiving intervention before my disease metastasized. Another example: an acquaintance of many years, after a period of treatment with hormonal therapy triggered by rising PSA scores, dodged a bullet when a surgeon who was evaluating him for prostatectomy diagnosed BPH. Rising PSA? Getting older? Must be cancer! Lower the testosterone. Misdiagnosed, mistreated… how does this fit the picture?
The PSA screen detects the possibility that aggressive prostate cancer is present; it cannot cause the ill effects of inappropriate follow up. I suppose one might consider, if too many students are flunking out of college, completely abandoning final exams. That way, less people would have their life choices reduced by lack of a diploma. The point is, problem identification must be done first, lest the focus fall on the wrong place, e.g., the tests.
i fully endorse what you say, dr. meyers ….. but what action can we take in unison to first, reverse this recommendation, and second, publicise the need for PSA screening; words are powerful but action is effective.
we have heard that the task force will not respond to emotional appeals; they will respond to errors in their logic. we are fighting epidemiological reasoning – we should be asking them why they are not considering all the associated economic and social costs beyond death that will be incurred by a reduction in testing.
back to publicising our disease – today i saw two firemen wearing pink shirts shopping in the same supermarket as myself; it made me mad. i asked these guys if they wore light blue last month and they looked at me like i was crazy! fortunately they were receptive – especially since one had a family history; hopefully we will do an awareness presentation in their firehouse. actions speak louder than words!
I'm proud to call you my doctor. I'm relieved that someone in the medical community has figured out that the emperor is not wearing clothes.
A very important video. Eleven comments in one day. My father is 86 his prostate cancer fits into the nasty type. He is strong and fit, we had bee so careful having regular blood test, and many other test just to check there were no problems. He always got glowing reports. We had been doing this for years. Four different Dr, they just missed his prostate cancer. In a 14 month period his PSA had jumped to PSA 395. I now go to all my mum and dad's medical appointments. I also ask for a copy of the results for my own records. I new they were having blood test every six months just to be careful. We have a very caring GP. After being told he had advanced prostate cancer I asked for a copy of all my dad's blood results over 4 years. We were not looking for blame I just could noy understand how it could be missed by 4 different Dr. I was told once you are over I think it was 80 years they are only aloud to test so often in this age group. this does not make sense. The explanation I got is that most men in this age group will not die from it. Sounds like the US and Aussies have the same approach.
Our Dr told us that Bob was the first patient that slipped through his practice. My parents can afford to pay for any medical examinationn or blood test we just were not aware there were some test that were determined by your age. Sounds like discrimination to me. We need to value all members of our community, it should not matter how much money you have. Every male should be able to have a PSA blood test as needed. We are talking about a fathers, grandfathers, brothers and nephews. There needs to be a change to the game plan in the US and Australia so that men get to live the best and longest lives possible. We need them. Great Video

Snuffy, thought you might like to see our press release:
Stan Rosenfeld
From The National Alliance of State Prostate Cancer Coalitions
and The California Prostate Cancer Coalition
For Immediate Release
Contact: Merel G. Nissenberg (619) 518-6465, (858) 459-0631
Or Stan Rosenfeld (415) 459-4668, (415)290-6060
October 20, 2011 La Jolla, California
The National Alliance of State Prostate Cancer Coalitions and the California Prostate Cancer Coalition emphatically reject the proposed "D" Prostate Cancer Recommendation of the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).
The proposed Guideline of the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force would recommend the PSA blood test for prostate cancer only if the patient has prostate symptoms. However, by the time a patient has symptoms the disease is usually late-stage (advanced) and cannot be cured. The USPSTF's proposed "D" Recommendation AGAINST THE USE OF PSA "in healthy (asymptomatic) men" is a mis-interpretation of existing clinical trial data that would discourage men from asking for the PSA and excuse their physicians from failing to offer and discuss it with them. The National Alliance of State Prostate Cancer Coalitions (NASPCC) and the California Prostate Cancer Coalition (CPCC) heartily endorse the use of PSA for men beginning at age 40 (35 if high-risk). It's the best test we currently have for prostate cancer and, in conjunction with a digital rectal examination it should be offered until more sensitive/specific biomarkers are approved by the FDA. NASPCC and CPCC do not support unnecessary treatment; however, the USPSTF Recommendation would prevent men with potentially deadly disease from learning their true diagnosis in time for curative care and would condemn them to a miserable death.
According to Merel Nissenberg, president of CPCC and NASPCC, "Knowledge is power. Testing for and diagnosing prostate cancer does not have to lead to over-treatment; men with clinically insignificant prostate cancer can select Active Surveillance, and those with aggressive cancer can be treated. When balancing the possible side effects of treatment against the saving of a life, most men would choose to live."
The California Prostate Cancer Coalition (CPCC) is a coalition of doctors, prostate cancer survivors (and families), nurses, support groups and others concerned about prostate cancer in California.
The National Alliance of State Prostate Cancer Coalitions (NASPCC) is an umbrella organization meant to encompass participation by all states – through their state prostate cancer coalitions, state prostate cancer task forces or state prostate cancer foundations.
I am in compete agreement with your groups well thought out, clearly expressed message. We as prostate cancer patients need to stay informed, stand together and speak up on issues pertaining to our health and care. Only people who are fighting our battle or understand our disease should be allowed to speak for us and recommend what tests or treatments we should have.
Me and many others I know are alive and doing well because of the PSA and digital rectal exam and treatments we had when we were diagnose with prostate cancer. I had no symptoms.
Because of these tests and the follow up care I had I was able to enjoy my last daughters wedding, the joy of two more grand children, weddings, anniversaries, graduations and the celebration of (50) years of marriage to my wife.
I am active in our Us TOO group along with a prostate spore group.
Thank You again.
John Downes
Thank you so much Dr. Myers. This video beautifully summarizes all of the common sense perspectives that leave me slack jawed at this unbelievably backwards recommendation.
You also touch on the Veteran population who are at an increased… this in particular is appalling… these men – who put their lives on the line for our country, and deserve the utmost respect for that alone, are again disregarded in that often times that service in and of itself appears to increase prostate cancer risk…
Thank you again for posting this statement.
Mary (Bob's daughter)
I guess I have a different view. I carry health insurance but it is major medical and the annual deduction is large so until that deductable is reached almost all my health expenses are my personal responsibility. I started testing my PSA long before my insurance carrier would cover it. I paid for it out of pocket along with a lot of other things I felt would be beneficial to me. Most recently, I traveled to 7 different doctors, paying for it out of pocket, before I was able to put together my prostate cancer team. I educated myself along the way and that also wasn't cheep or endorsed by the government or my insurance company. I am not complaining because I feel everyone has to take responsibility for their own health. If the government tells us PSA testing is bad WE do not have to accept it. If the insurance company will not cover something important, get it done anyway. Don't get me wrong. I think the government should get out of health care or at least take the Hippocratic Oath because it seems to do more harm than good. It certainly shouldn't suppress information, something it does very well, and I never imagined for a moment that it cared about my personal health. I have nothing nice to say about the insurance companies but always remember they are driven by profits, don't ever forget this fact.
Ultimately it is up to the individual to take control of their health and not subjugate to a government or the insurance companies lobbyist that don't have the patients best interest at heart. Unfortunately, we allow economics to control our health care system. We as patients are as much to blame for this as the other parties involved. We whine over rate increases and taxes, rightly so but our message is muddled and misinterpreted. If you do not like what you see change it at the ballot box and let your representatives know how you feel. Can you tell that I write my reps all the time. Dr. Meyers is a pioneer and a gentleman of the highest order and as stated in these many post he is spot on when it comes to this subject but he is only one man and could use some help. Write your rep today.
There, my first post and I think I stepped in it.
Thank You Dr. Myers for all you do.
You are an inspiration to us. You have helped a good number of people I know and your work and opinion are well recognized and respected.
Thanks again for being there for us.

[…] You can view Dr. Myers's first post on PSA screening here. […]
Very much on the mark Dr. Myers, thanks for your information. I'm a cancer survivor, 3 years on watchful waiting. The information regarding the aging and treatment of the men that have given service, is something this country needs better awareness as stated. My father had aggressive Prostate Cancer at a late age, unbeknown to us the PSA testing that he should have had, had not taken place. The fact that testing should occur as early as the age of 35 should be a common practice with family history. Would like to know if possible what action we can take to participate in to bring a broader awareness of this tremendous need? Will search for your newsletter. Thanks again for your great videos and support.

Maybe you can help me with some opinions and suggestions here:
I'm a fairly frequent traveler but on a total mix of airlines and alliances and mostly on very cheap tickets. So I try to be in FF programs on all 3 alliances. I'm absolutely not interested in reaching status. I need a FF program that makes the most out of my Skyteam flights with low award prices. My awards are usually booked well in advance.
On Star Alliance, for example, I'm with United and they have an amazing FF program with the saver awards. I've booked some highly valuable itineraries with very few miles, their availability is usually excellent, especially since I don't need nonstops when booking awards.
Now back to Skyteam. I'll be flying Delta TATL a lot in the next years so I need to get a good FF program that I can get good TATL award flights with.
I'm currently a member of Delta's SkyMiles but the award levels are so incredibly high! Usually on UA I get TALT oneways for 30K miles, but on Skymiles it's usually more like twice as much! Plus they have very little availability on the lowest award levels even though I search well in the future.
So I'm ready to dump my SkyMiles membership and enroll elsewhere. Basically what I'm looking for is a program that compares to Mileage Plus, but on Skyteam. My awards will all be transatlantic. I need a program where the miles don't expire after a certain time but where I can extend them with activity. No matter if the activity period is short (like 6 months or a year). It does not need to be a European or North American airline, anything really, as long as I can book awards on transatlantic flights (mostly DL / AF / KL).
Any ideas?

With the excitement of the Hairspray movie come and gone (though not completely — the film is still selling tickets), Broadway fans can now look to the future. There is Sweeney Todd coming to theaters in December, but for those looking for something a bit lighter, get ready for Summer 2008. That's when the movie version of the ABBA musical Mamma Mia, starring Meryl Streep (!) and Pierce Brosnan (among many others), opens. USA Today has a "First Look" at the movie musical here. If you still want to catch the show on Broadway before seeing it on the big screen, get your tickets now.

I've taught online for several years now....I consider myself to be quite informed with the Blackboard platform......the guidance in the first module have been so eye opening as to the additional features I could and will use. Although my SUNY campus offers fine Bb instructions, I am pretty much self taught....this is helpful.

Nearly two decades ago, educational innovation researcher, Gene Hall (1995), warned of a growing "development-implementation balance". The pace of innovation in educational technologies, on top of the increased accreditation and accountability demands placed on P-12 teachers and higher ed. instructors, suggests a need to slow down and think through the consequences of adoption decisions.

Invest NI vouching for innovation as £2.7m funding scheme unveiled
Published 27/10/2009
Small businesses will be given a chance to get a share of £2.7m in funding after the Government launched its latest Innovation Vouchers Programme.
The £4,000 vouchers can be redeemed against the cost of specialist expertise from universities, colleges and publicly funded research institutes.
Applications are open until November 30 with information available at www.innovationvouchers.com
A number of companies received an innovation voucher from Invest NI earlier this year as part of a pilot scheme, including fruit processor Orchard County Foods in Craigavon.
Working with the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) at Loughry, to investigate ways of lengthening the shelf of its fruit snack products, the company developed a new product which is expected to increase annual sales by £1m and will also create an additional nine jobs taking its workforce to 50.
Launching the new voucher scheme Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said the success of Orchard County Foods clearly demonstrates the importance of continuously developing new and existing products and services.
"The £4,000 voucher can help businesses to fully utilise technical and scientific expertise, and make a huge difference to their competitiveness in export markets.
"This increased funding for Invest NI's Innovation Voucher Programme, covering the next three years, will enable more small businesses than ever before to access specialist expertise that they may not possess in-house," the Minister said.
"This could be crucial in facilitating potentially lucrative advances in the further development of their product and service offerings. Small enterprises are the cornerstone of our economy so it is essential that we help as many as possible to fully utilise innovation in order to capitalise on new business opportunities."
During Invest NI's pilot scheme 250 vouchers were awarded to small businesses across Northern Ireland, with over £350,000 of funding delivered.
Patrick McCann, managing director of Orchard County Foods, said: "The Innovation Voucher project has already led to increased orders and we also hope the greater shelf life, and improved transportability, will help us boost sales into the UK and Republic markets."
He added: "The Innovation Voucher we received from Invest NI proved invaluable, enabling us to access expertise at CAFRE that helped us take a big step forward.
"As a result, the business has launched a new pineapple snack, marketed as a pineapple lolly, which is now available in 680 Tesco stores across the UK. We expect this to lead to an additional £1m of sales."

I so hope that she is happy and that the wedding has happened without a hitch, and if not yet, hope it is near and that everything has fallen into place for you and for her. Let me hear from you dear Jim..you are missed..Oh I understand now that you and I both are learning to use new cameras!! Are we having fun yet? :)) its hard to say with mine Jim...still learning. It is a process isn't it?
My best regards to you/Sarah
Oh dear Sarah O...maintenance of my gallery seems to have taken a back seat...I feel so embarrassed at my apparent lack of care..But care I do and it was lovely to read your fulsome comments...
Helen's career has taken off and her boy friend Sandy has managed to find work in the same locale..The recent fall in the fortunes of the UK economy has put a brake on their plans..No one knows where the axe will fall next..The economic future for the UK looks pretty bleak just now..Their plans to marry and have kids have been put on the back burner ;>)
As far as my new camera is concerned, I am at the bottom of a steep learning curve..In contrast to your own efforts which have produced some wonderful images..
When autumn arrives, my attention and time will be devoted to my favourite hobby and I hope to be taking some good shots again ;>)
Once more Sarah, many thanks for your most enjoyable visit ;>)
OH MY Jim Hello to you! back in April when I sent that comment, I did so when I saw you had a visitor here on this page so I popped on to speak with you about your dear daughter Helen. I do understand tho, about late replys. You do have a really busy gallery Jim, and I go there often to check out what you are doing and leave NO comment lots of times for this reason. Thank you for letting me hear from you NOW my friend, and its good to get the update on Helen.
I Hear from several friends in the UK as you know, so I feel the UK is my second home! :)) Enjoy so much all the wonderful galleries from over there and the beautiful part of the world you people live in. I've left comments all along on your gallery but there are times when I see you telling some friends that you are busy for awhile and those times, I stay away. I saw somewhere earlier today that you were "going boating".. how great Jim. Enjoy your self! And think of me when you are out there with the sea breeze blowing your face.:))
Thanks Jim for giving me a visit. you have made my day...which right about now, is almost over. Goodnight and take care of yourself my friend.
warmest wishes to you/Sarah :))
I love dogs, and your daughter is such a beautiful English Lady! Great meeting!
Sarah O~~~~It is a great pleasure to receive your mail dear Sarah ;) You write brilliantly with such feeling, it is like chatting to an old and valued friend..for that is how I perceive the growing friendship between us!
JoelleGiannoni~~~This little dog is the mistress in my life Joelle..I am well trained and easily led by this bundle of fun! As for my lovely daughter..I'm a proud dad for sure!
Kind regards to you both dear friends!

awww bless :-)
I Like # 3

The filmmakers behind 2011's indie cult hit "Bellflower" are turning to crowd-funding to help complete their new film "Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins." Calling the new project "influenced heavily by 80s action films and side-scrolling video games," Coatwolf Productions have produced a short video outlining exactly what they need the additional funding for.
Writer-director Evan Glodell's followup to "Bellflower" promises more of hallucinatory, whacked out violence in the earlier film but even more outlandish, stylized. And that costs money. The crowd source funding of "Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins" looks to pay for some special effects scenes where, among other things, insane motorcycle stunts, Camaros driven off piers, Molotov cocktails and people catching fire when punched. For anyone who remembers the homemade flame-throwers from "Bellflower," you know that Glodell and company are (at least somewhat) serious about this.
The film's plot synopsis-a seeming distillation of every good-bad 80s action movie ever made-clarifies that the "San Diego twins" from Oldtown, where crime runs rampant. They team up with their comrade Chuck Hank to rescue the twins' sister from "The Syndicate" by whatever means necessary.
The preview/fundraising plea can be seen at coatwolf.com.

An Amarillo man who jumped bail in his drug trafficking trial was arrested in Arkansas this afternoon.
George Bahr, 43, had a gun in his car when an Arkansas State Police trooper pulled him over near Russellville, Ark., this afternoon, according to a police report. He is being held without bond, said Capt. Terry Bailey, of the Pope County, Ark., Sheriffs Department.
Bahr was out on bail while standing trial in Randall County for facing drug possession charges. Court records say he failed to show for court Feb. 14, and was convicted in absentia. He was given a life sentence and a $10,000 fine.
Bailey said Bahr would appear before a magistrate in Arkansas Monday, but it was unclear when he would be returned to the Panhandle.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom PlayStation 2
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
This game offers a lot of variety and each area feels like a fresh and distinct entity rather than just a palette swap.
Like a sponge that absorbs hours of your time, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom will keep young gamers very occupied. By kids' standards I'm "old," but that didn't stop me from loving this game.
Game InformerIf you've had neurosurgery more than twice, you may (and I stress the word) find a thimble's worth of entertainment here. If not, you'll get more kicks out of a sponge...just an ordinary pantless sponge. [Nov 2003, p.153]
It's all not as bad as it could have been, but nothing you can't get from dozens of other games.
Play MagazineWhat really makes this one tick, though, is a level of creativity imbedded into each scenario that makes it impossible to put down, regardless of your maturity or lack thereof. [Nov 2003, p.80]
The humor and writing is really top-notch SpongeBob SquarePants! It's just like the show that we all love to watch! SpongeBob SquarePants! The gameplay is simple but never gets dull...
PSM MagazineIt's huge and solidly designed, it controls well, and the levels, while admittedly linear, are filled with hidden items, secrets, and some fun activities. [Jan 2004, p.29]
Its surprising how well crafted the game is, especially taking into account the subject matter.
GMR MagazineLike Bob himself, this game holds its water and is, in fact, remarkably fun. [Jan 2004, p.86]

In June 1959, Charles Vernon Bush became one of the first three black cadets at the United States Air Force Academy. As squadron commander, Bush was the first black to graduate in the Academy's history. Prior to his attendance to the academy, Bush was selected by Chief Justice Earl Warren as the first black Page to the U.S. Supreme Court. He even transferred to a special high school, Capitol Page School, made specifically for U.S. Pages.
Bush started his secondary education at Howard University, where his father Charles Bush, Sr., was an administrator, then transferred to the Air Force Academy in a dual program with Georgetown University. He was required to learn oral comprehension of the Russian language.
Bush attended Air Intelligence Officers School and was stationed at Westover Air Force Base. A top-notch officer, Bush learned to speak fluent Vietnamese and was transferred to Vietnam in 1967 as an intelligence officer. He was in charge of six teams. He was awarded the Bronze Star for his service.
In 1968, Bush returned to the U.S. and taught political science at American International College. Two years later, he focused his attention on Harvard Business School to get a finance degree.
He lived out his career as an executive for Merrill Lynch-White Weld Capital Group, Max Factor, and Hughes Electronics.
Charles Vernon Bush passed away on November 5, 2012 at his home in Montana.

One thought on "Little Known Black History Fact: Charles Vernon Bush"
Taking advantage of the opportunities available, there is no telling how far you can go; maybe become President of the US.

Remember when I told you how distracting the energy I constantly feel is? Lol.. I don't get far in my attempt before it grabs my attention and I'm off working with it. No worries though.. I'm just gonna continue to work with this energy. Felt like I cleared some things yesterday and today. I've for a while that I'm being guided and assisted in so many different ways. Since I've become aware of this I've had a desire to communicate with this guidance.. my highest guidance.. just as clearly as I'm talking to you here. The desire is all but gone.. yet it is still something I want to do. For more clarity along my path. I can get messages and visuals but only briefly. Not sure what I'm doing or not doing that's preventing me from doing this. Anything that would help me with this? [/quote] You have a higher form of ADHD.... common for people that have and are waking up. The mind starts playing in other areas and its hard to keep focus. Take Valerian Root for a couple of days and see if that helps. Its an inexpensive way to calm the mind. Its fairly cheap and any health food store store will have it. [/quote] Ok, I'll try that. Would you recommend I just stay focused when I'm trying to do these things? I can focus longer than I do.. I just don't because of the stress it causes. Seems easier to just flow with what comes.. but maybe not as beneficial? [/quote] There should be zero stress when working with energy. If there is stress than something is wrong way wrong. Try it again and let me know where your mind wonders too. [/quote] Alright.. I believe I can explain what is going on. Remember I described to you how I get pulled to all these different places/scenarios? Well.. I am constantly.. I mean literally 24/7 being pulled to these experiences. The stress I was referring to.. maybe stress was the wrong word. I don't stress. But if I don't focus on releasing my resistance to wherever I'm being pulled then a lot of tension builds in my energy/physical body. That is what makes it difficult to focus on anything else. I can focus on something else.. but at the expense of a ton of tension. The tension has different stopping points at different times.. sometimes back of head.. sometimes chest.. sometimes lower right abdomen.. sometimes right shoulder. Usually if I focus and release resistance the energy goes somewhere. I feel the energy in my body begin to flow. Inevitably when I come back to my normal physical state the pulling builds tension again until I relax, recognize the tension is there, and begin to focus on it again. This is exactly the same as the experiences I've had in the other realm.. where I am very present and mostly in control. The difference is I'm never able to transition over to fully perceive what's going on during the waking state. Only during my sleeping hours and when I first wake up have I been able to do that. During the waking state I can perceive it by feelings/vibrations and visuals. The visuals can be any number of things. A lot of times I see them through what feels like another set of eyes when I close my eyes. I get the sense of movement sometimes. There are times that immediately when i close my eyes I can feel and see a very fast movement. Just like when I get pulled and I'm transitioned. I see images that are frightful sometimes. I see images that are very complex geometry sometimes. I never see them in their fullness because the vision that I'm seeing is veiled by darkness. Like I'm wearing some 90% vision blocking blindfold. There have been a few times where my vision has pierced through so to speak and I transition into what has the feel of a dream. I've yet to be able to experience that for more than a few seconds. If I relax and don't focus my energy such as when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. A ton of random crap comes up. Voices that make no sense at all saying completely irrelevant things. Images that at times are relevant and other times make no sense at all. But usually the voices. The things that I hear literally make 0 sense to me. They are words and sentences.. but completely irrelevant to whats going on. Don't know what energy causes the random chatter. I know that about 5% of the time during this random chatter another voice will come in. It comes through complete silence and will say my name or something that is actually relevant. It usually shocks me lol and I get knocked from the silence the few times I get there. Not sure if this will help at all. This morning I transitioned into the other realm. The smoothest transition I've ever had. So fluid that at first I thought my normal physical body was levitating. It started with a vibration/noise that was very loud on the right side of my brain/head. Usually noises startle the hell out of me.. it did initially but I didn't allow myself to be rattle. Stayed calm and present. Lifted from my body moved a bit.. my eyes opened as if I had been sleeping over there and off I go being pulled somewhere. My alarm went off before I was able to see where I was going. When I woke up I felt the energy at the top of my head releasing to wherever it was going. Did what I could with my lack of perception to try and let the process complete.. felt like I did. Had to get up and get ready for work. I really appreciate your assistance. It has always left something to be desired.. working with all these things and not really knowing the specifics of what's going on. It's very helpful and reassuring to hear what you have to say. Thank you very much [/quote] Your are reaching the higher octaves but you need to slow down a bit. Your physical body is not ready for it. Most of your experiences to day have been mental but soon the more physical ones will start enforce and you need to be ready. [/quote] Damn.. you are right. My physical body could be much healthier. Out of shape and I've had this abdominal problem forever that has gotten worse and worse. The same problem led me into all of this through meditation. I recognized about 2-3 weeks ago that literally everything I've done for as long as I can remember has been mental. It is so tough at this point to do the opposite. I feel like a baby learning to crawl. I'm working on it. Time to kick it into overdrive I suppose =] Also, do you mean earth experience physical or physical in other dimensions? One last question and I'll take it easy for a while lol. A couple of experiences have lead me to believe I should try lsd. I've never tried anything like this and I want to be very certain before I do. Can you see what energy suggests about this being in my best interest? Oh yea! The valerian root is awesome. I slept so soundly last night. I never have problems falling asleep but my mental facilities run as they always do preventing deep sleep. Valerian root was like an off switch. Really good stuff. [/quote] That would be a loud NO Stay away from that stuff. [/quote]

It started with a man running from Lancaster's Home Depot with three stolen string trimmers and jumping into a getaway car parked between the mulch pallets.
It ended two hours later after a K-9 search and a police foot-chase through the backyards of nearby Gregwood.
A Concord, N.C., couple were jailed Sept. 16 after the incident at the Home Depot on S.C. 9 Bypass West.
Steven Michael Vanderburg, 28, was arrested by Lancaster Police Department officers about two hours after the theft, running through the Gregwood subdivision.
Lancaster County's United Methodist Churches have joined together to place the daily devotional book "Strength for Service" in the hands of every first responder in the county.
This edition of the book, a collection of inspirational passages that Methodists first started sending out during World War II, includes the story of a Lancaster sheriff's deputy wounded in 2011.
An Indian Land apartment development twice rejected by the Lancaster County Planning Commission will take its case directly to county council members Monday night, asking them to overrule the planning board.
The council will hear an appeal from Two Capital, which wants to build 313 apartments at the intersection of S.C. 160 and Calvin Hall Road.
The planning commission denied Two Capital's plan because of traffic and architectural design issues, both in violation of the Unified Development Ordinance, according to Jerry Holt, the commission's vice chair.
Lancaster County Council has shifted the usually slow gears of government into high, trying to take advantage of a deal on the new 800 MHz radios that the county needs to join the new statewide Palmetto 800 system.
Council has called a special meeting for Thursday morning to consider a resolution allowing the county to sign a purchase order by Friday to seal a deal on the radios that would save $1.1 million. The cost would be $3.5 million, down from an expected $4.6 million.
Democratic congressional candidate Fran Person got heavyweight campaign help Monday as his former boss, Vice President Joe Biden, came to the 5th District for a fundraiser and a public event at a civil rights landmark.
Person, 33, of Tega Cay, is running against three-term incumbent Rep. Mick Mulvaney, an Indian Land Republican.
Speaking to reporters at Rock Hill's downtown Five & Dine restaurant, Biden said Congress is gridlocked, and it will take people like Person to reach across the aisle and get it moving again.
Hannah L. Strong and Reece Murphy
Gasoline is becoming scarce and more expensive in Lancaster County due to a leak in Alabama's Colonial Pipeline, and government agencies are cutting back on gas use to weather the shortage.
Murphy Express on S.C. 9 Bypass had bags over all of its pumps Monday morning, as did a number of other convenience stores. A Murphy cashier said the store received 9,000 gallons Sunday morning and was sold out before close.
The Lancaster County Historical Commission is hosting local author and retired educator Don McCorkle for a presentation on his latest book, "Milt Chaney's Tavern," from 3 to 5 p.m. today in the Historic Lancaster Courthouse (circa 1825) at 100 N. Main St.
McCorkle's book is fiction based on local history. It tells the story of Chaney, a notorious innkeeper and a number of travelers who stayed at his tavern, never to be seen again.
Autumn begins Thursday, and cold weather will not be far behind, raising concerns about people who have no place to call home.
Last year on a single night in January, more than a half million people were experiencing homelessness across America, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, a leader in service and research on the issue.
The Lancaster Area Coalition for the Homeless (LACH) hopes its second-annual Cardboard Box City event can help change that reality here.
John M. McCain, a Lancaster native and retired Air Force colonel, has been hired as the No. 2 official at the new Lancaster County Economic Development Department.
He'll start work Monday as the existing-industry manager, reporting to agency Director Jamie Gilbert, who has been working solo since July.
U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney campaigned with U.S. Sen. Tim Scott over the weekend, telling about 100 supporters at an Indian Land fundraiser that his opponent, Fran Person, is an unknown quantity to most Fifth District voters.
"The guy has raised almost a million dollars. Nobody knows who he is, not even any Democrats around here know who he is, but he's sitting on a giant stash of money," said Mulvaney, a three-term Republican. "We expect to see all of that money dumped into negative ad campaigns in the last 30 days."

(JTA) — A delegation of prominent HIV/AIDS doctors from across East Africa is visiting Israel to expand medical partnerships and benefit from Israel's expertise.
The 10 African medical experts from Botswana, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya arrived Sunday in Israel for a weeklong visit under the auspices of Project Interchange and the Israeli Consortium on AIDS Medicine in Africa.
Dr. Mark Wainberg, former president of the International AIDS Society and currently director of the McGill University AIDS Center, also joined the seminar.
The program is designed to launch collaboration between Israeli and African universities and hospitals, and also will help expand medical partnerships across Africa, as well as provide Israel's medical advances and expertise as a resource for global public health concerns.
In addition to the medical sessions, the group is scheduled to meet with experts from across Israel's political and social spectrum who will discuss strategic and regional issues, as well as Israeli and Palestinian politics and society.
The visit is being held in cooperation with MASHAV, Israel's national agency for international development cooperation, and Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Africa Division.

"My fiancé and I we're looking for something simple yet elegant... This were the perfect match for us not only do they match with our colors they are elegant, they are nicely made and the best part is we can add a picture of us... I highly recommend this to anyone!!"
"These perfectly fit the update we were looking for on the traditional black and white invitation. Wedding Paper Divas did a great job editing the wording to reflect my husband's late parents, and customizing the back. We tied them together with Tartan plaid ribbons to add a little extra holiday pop for our December wedding. We received so many compliments and couldn't have been happier!"
"When I received my sample invitation in the mail I was wonderfully surprised how stunning the card looked in person. It was everything that I was looking for. Something elegant and beautiful on some very good quality card stock paper. I was worried about ordering white writing on dark paper but it came out looking great with no smudges and nice crisp letters. I was also pleased with their sample booklet that Wedding Paper Divas sent out. It included a mini sample of every cardstock paper they offer and lots of ideas concearning finishing touches, finding the right trim, choosing a favorite font, and a list of the special services that they provide if I ever need them. Overall I am very pleased with Wedding Paper Divas and I will be ordering my invitations from them very soon."
"We chose to plan our wedding with a low budget while keeping it very classy. This invitation set was perfect for us and the quality of the paper used was excellent. We chose to use a solid backing on the invite and include directions and registry places on it. It was less expensive than adding a separate card plus our guests didn't have to keep track of multiple cards for information."
"The quality of this product is amazing! It was the most perfect wedding invitation I could have hoped to have! We added a photo on the back which made it even more personalized at no extra charge. I'm so happy with my decision on this card, product and company :)"

Hartford - A Superior Court judge has upheld the firing of a state employee who lied to get federal food stamp benefits in 2011.
Applying for benefits, the employee, Ida Johnson, understated her income, failed to disclose her husband's income, and counted her son as a member of her household even though he was in prison, according to court documents.
The decision, issued this week by Judge Jane Scholl, concurred with that of a state arbiter in the case of Johnson, who worked for the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
Johnson's lawyer, John Williams of New Haven, said Friday he does not plan to appeal the case further.
Johnson was among the 185 state employees investigated after they applied in September 2011 for the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or D-SNAP, when Hurricane Irene struck the state as a tropical storm.
Of those employees, 97 were fired, 53 were suspended, 18 resigned, and 12 retired, according to the state.
There have been 90 employees who have appealed their punishments. Arbiters imposed suspensions in 80 cases, awarded full back pay in two, and upheld firings in two, while six cases are pending, according to the state Office of Labor Relations.
Nine cases went to court. The state settled five other cases out of court. Three cases are still awaiting a decision.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration has refused to identify the workers who were reprimanded, claiming that state and federal laws make it a crime not only to identify anyone who applies for welfare benefits but also to identify anyone whose application defrauded the government.
The Journal Inquirer is challenging that policy before the state Freedom of Information Commission, claiming that the disciplinary records of state employees are documents distinct from welfare applications and are required to be public.
As a practical matter, Johnson and other state employees lost their anonymity when their cases reached Superior Court, where documents identifying them are public.
According to court documents, some state employees claimed as dependents people who didn't live with them. Other state employees understated their income, ignored their spouses' incomes, and didn't list savings accounts. Some even claimed that they had lost food to spoilage though they had not suffered interruption of electricity during the storm.
The employees and their unions contended the D-SNAP application was flawed. They also argued that while the employees may have done wrong, they did not deserve punishment as severe as dismissal.
Williams, the lawyer who represented Johnson and is representing two other employees awaiting a court decision in their cases, blamed the Department of Social Services' handling of D-SNAP applications.
"It was partly the result of incredible incompetence on the part of the DSS," Williams said Friday.
No state employees in the welfare fraud cases have been charged criminally, according to judicial records.

It looks like a profitable company.I could find no news.I decided to put my toe in at $9.44
S&P downgrade of debt.
Shares of PHH Corp. (PHH) have sold off sharply after S&P lowered its long-term credit rating on the company to "BB-" from "BB+" last night. "PHH's historically high unsecured funding costs have reduced its financial flexibility to repay upcoming debt maturities, including $423M of unsecured debt maturing in March 2013," the ratings agency's analyst said. S&P, however, added that it does expect the company to build sufficient liquidity to repay senior unsecured debt maturing in 2013. PHH is likely to extend its corporate revolver beyond one year, which will help the company manage its debt load, S&P added.sell-off wayyyyyyyyyy overdone in my opinion.
