About Hertel Wax / HotSauce
|Hertel is an exciting U.S. ski and snowboard wax innovator/ manufacture. Terry Hertel invented the HotWaxer first. He went onto develop the most advance wax ever. The product is all temperature, all mountain and totally universal and it stands up to it definition. Hertel proved that colors were a thing of the past and that those still marketing them, just have not gotten the message or do not understand the science and elements we are dealing with.
We offer four different unique waxes, Super HotSauce all temperature for the general consumer and shops. Racing FC739 the first fluoro, is high performance and will last about seven days. SpringSoluton is such a super product. It works well in the spring where nothing else does, and it works well in the winter also. White Gold is the product that assisted in the Olympic wins in 1988 and 1994. The HotSauce line has been a part of every Olympics since 1974. You must ski it to believe it. New this year is a FREE copy of the E-Book WAXFAX and our new X/C all temperature wax. The company also invented the best skate wax ever. It is a formula of wax and glass micro beads.

We also use a less impressionable wax so it isn't affected as much by snow abrasion. We use a special surfactant to reduce the surface tension of all our waxes.

Initiatives and Priorities
Since become the University's 16th president in 2011, Eric Kaler's initiatives and priorities have consistently focused on making certain that the University of Minnesota fulfills its 21st-century land-grant mission as an excellent public research university that is operated efficiently and effectively, and that is accessible to qualified Minnesotans of all economic backgrounds.
Strategic Plan
The hard work of implementation is now underway for the Twin Cities campus's Strategic Plan. And to learn more about its impact on Minnesota and the world, read this.
Legislative Request
Once again in 2015, President Kaler sought a partnership with the state of Minnesota to freeze tuition for Minnesota-resident undergraduates. The University also sought support to freeze graduate student tuition.
The request further sought a new approach to facilities funding, a comprehensive partnership with the state to maintain a healthy Minnesota, and state funding for research around sustainable mining and vibrant communities across the state.
Read the proposed biennial budget request
Campus Climate
A respectful, inclusive, and welcoming campus is the ground on which a truly equitable and diverse institution flourishes. Beginning in the summer of 2014, President Kaler convened a working group of senior leaders to address the critical issue of campus climate. The work continues.
Learn more about the Campus Climate initiative
Operational Excellence
Operational Excellence is a long-term commitment to working smarter, reducing costs, enhancing services, and increasing revenues throughout the University. President Kaler has pledged, over a six-year period, to redirect $90 million in administrative costs to the University's mission of teaching, research and public engagement. Two years into "Op-Ex," the University is ahead of schedule on reducing administrative costs.

NHTSA — Structure: Body: Tailgate Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Although it has a stellar record in terms of vehicle problems, initially the 4th generation (2003 - 2009) 4Runner didn't earn our top "Seal of Awesome" rating because it received poor crash test ratings for rear impacts. However it's proven to have one of the lowest driver death rates out of all vehicles (not just SUVs), so we've bumped it back up to our top award.

This week's Tech Roundup includes WordPress 3.3, power user guides for Chrome and Firefox, IE to auto update, and HTTP status cats.
What's the Most Secure Web Browser? – The study was funded by Google and not-surprisingly Chrome was ranked the most secure browser. Each browser has a study that says their browser is the best. Still, the results are interesting.
WordPress 3.3 Released – New version of WordPress out this week. Definitely some welcome improvements (widgets, drag & drop media uploader for starters). Also, check out my post highlighting the key features and explaining why you should update.
The Power User's Guides to Chrome and Firefox – A must-read if you spend all day in your browser, you like to tinker, or you just like to get the best out of your browsing experience. They cover interface tips & tricks, customized settings, add-ons and extensions, and other features.
Most Popular Windows Downloads and Posts of 2011 – Check these out, twenty one in all. From this article I installed Dexpot and I've been using it for a few days. Expose and Spaces are the two things I miss most from my Mac using days. Now they are essentially back!
Most Popular Mac Downloads and Posts of 2011 – And, of course, we can't leave out our Mac friends. Fifteen resources in all here.
Internet Explorer to auto-update – Surprising and exciting! Microsoft is, essentially, going to force you to update your browser. XP users will get IE 8 and Vista and Windows 7 users will get IE 9. In theory, this will make the lives of designers and developers much easier. But let's see if it works, first.
HTTP Status Cats Make Internet Errors Cute – A little fun to close the roundup this week. These are super cute. Enjoy!
Have a great weekend!

An Indian court has been asked to decide whether a Hindu spiritual leader is dead or meditating.
The family and followers of His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj, the founder of the Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan religious order, are entrenched in a legal battle over whether he is dead or simply in a deep state of meditation, the Daily Telegraph reports.
According to his wife and son, the guru died in January and was declared clinically dead. However, his disciples at his Ashram have refused to let the family take his body for cremation because they claim he is still alive and simply in a deep meditation, which he promoted through his teachings. They have been keeping his body in a commercial freezer to preserve it for when he wakes from it.
Police initially confirmed his death, but the Punjab High Court later dismissed the report. Local governmental officials said it was a spiritual matter and that the guru's followers cannot be forced to believe he is dead.
Now the guru's family has filed a court application calling for an investigation into the circumstances of his death and asking for his body to be released for cremation.

Report: Vt trooper's use of deadly force justifiedMay 22,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — An investigation has concluded that a Vermont state trooper was justified in the use of deadly force when he shot a man in a Danville school bus last year.
William Mahoney of St. Johnsbury was shot by the trooper on Sept. 18 after he allegedly stole a vehicle and then hid in the bus and broadcast threats on a school radio.
Mahoney was shot by Sgt. Brian May after what police said were threatening moves toward May — he appeared to be drawing a weapon from a holster, despite repeated commands to stop.
State Attorney General William Sorrell and Caledonia County State's Attorney Lisa Warren released a report Wednesday concluding May was legally justified in firing his gun at Mahoney.

thanks fellas, and yea Giants89 i hope im wrong to but i just dont see it they're way too good.
Nicely done, Prince. Great job on the thread. Keep it up.
Like most, I do see the Knicks coming up short. The magic are too talented all around. For us to keep up we're going to have to play good defense and knock down many 3's. And I really don't see both happening.
thanks fellas, and yea Giants89 i hope im wrong to but i just dont see it they're way too good.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Great thread!
I feel that if we can beat the Spurs just a few nights ago and with wilcox getting minutes over jeffries, we have an opportunity to contain dwight and pull this one out. It won't be easy! Go Knicks!
forget lebron james, dwyane wade and co. Will Ferrell is the future!
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
I hate this so called "rivalry" between nate and dwight. Theres no rivalry. Ones on a top 5 nba team and the others a team struggling to get in the playoffs. Ones a 5'7 combo guard and ones a 7 foot center. Theyre friends too. I dont get the media.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Would a friend, let another player jump over him in a dunk contest?
Hell NO!!!!!
Sounds to me like the media is 100% right on this one. These two guys hate each other!!!!
If Chicago can beat the Magic why can't we? Their biggest player is friggin' Brad Miller. Hope we can pull an upset.
Nate should wear something green. If not the whole jersey, then at least the shoes or the arm sleeve. lol
Datprince is officially Datking...great game thread bruh
Dwight Howard is beastin on us
haha nate actin like hes all hurt then he explodes to the basket lol
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
who was turkoglu trying to pass too?
Nate is such a chucker. 5-14 with all these floaters...Chandler's shot selection has been pretty piss poor too...Only guy playing a decent game in harrington, and that is barely...
The Magic are a much better defensive team than they get credit for being...
this is where coaching is wrong, there is no pure shooter out there and instead now we got everyone trying to hard to get open at least tonight
gallo needs to be out there against turkoglu, they both have similar games and with that said gallo would be able to stop him, hes the one who brought about the magic run
i say for once let gallo start a game and play 30 mins EVEN IF he starts out 0-3...considering chandler, richardson, and hughes are HIGHLY inconsistent its safe to assume gallo can average just as much or even more if given the privilege and time
goodjob by chandler so far making some really big 3s!
10-19 26 points so far
NATE GOT FOULED! Dumb refs
Some mo bullsh/t.

In IT, we sometimes coin terms for things before we know exactly what they are and how they'll be used. The resulting terms may capture a common set of aspirations and goals – as "cloud" did broadly for on-demand, self-service, and flexible computing. But such a term can also lump together diverse and even competing practices, technologies, and priorities to the point where important distinctions are glossed over and lost.

Everyone knows that truly innovative companies learn as they go along, pushing boundaries in response to market changes and demands. What's more of a mystery is how to balance innovation on a fresh platform built from scratch with the legacy tech stack, product suite and customers that continue to serve as the business' foundation.

Extracting business value from Internet of Things (IoT) data doesn't happen overnight. There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions. Unfortunately, too many companies fall short in achieving their business goals by implementing incomplete solutions or not focusing on tangible use cases.

Information technology is an industry that has always experienced change, and the dramatic change sweeping across the industry today could not be truthfully described as the first time we've seen such widespread change impacting customer investments. However, the rate of the change, and the potential outcomes from today's digital transformation has the distinct potential to separate the industry into two camps: Organizations that see the change coming, embrace it, and successful leverage it; and...

Barre blue banners in gray area
MONTPELIER It wouldnt be Barre if it wasnt gray, and thats apparently as true of the blue banners that now line North Main Street as it is of the communitys signature granite.
This week the states Travel Information Council had the opportunity to send a clear signal about the questionable content of Barres banners and didnt.
On a day when the minority ruled, an admittedly gray area involving the states 45-year-old sign law got a little bit grayer, Barres blue banners were spared, and questions about whether it would be prudent to include the names of sponsoring businesses on their soon-to-be-ordered holiday season replacements werent answered.
Following what was described as a lively discussion the council voted, 3-2, in favor of writing a letter to Barre officials notifying them that the downtown banners violated the states sign law, and encouraging them to drop the courtesy of language that gives a nod to local sponsors from a new batch of banners that are about to be ordered. The letter also would have suggested the city work with the Barre Partnership and relevant state agencies on obtaining clarification from the Legislature about an arguably ambiguous law.
That, in a nutshell, is what the letter would have said if, that is, three votes were enough to carry the day on a seven-member panel that is responsible for administering the law that bans billboards and other off-premise roadside advertising.
It isnt.
As is the case with Barres own City Council, it takes four votes for the Travel Information Council to pass anything, and on a day with two members absent, a simple majority wasnt enough. The, 3-2, vote in favor of the motion to send the letter technically failed.
The procedural quirk capped a 20-minute discussion that Amy Gamble, traffic operations engineer for the state Agency of Transportation, said boiled down to a debate over the letter of the law and legislative intent.
According to Gamble, committee members generally agreed Barres banners qualified as outdoor advertising as defined in the law, but were divided over whether Legislature intended to prohibit that sort of sponsorship when it passed the sign law.
Absent a legislative fix nothing was resolved today, Gamble said.
It sure sounded that way to Mayor Thomas Lauzon, who wasnt able to attend the meeting on what he has dubbed Banner-gate.
It really puts us in limbo, Lauzon said of a non-decision that did nothing to clarify the central issue that has held up the Barre Partnerships finalizing an order for holiday banners.
Lauzon said he will be sitting this one out.
I cant knowingly advocate that the Partnership letter the banners (with the names of sponsoring businesses) but they are the partnerships banners, he said. Its their call.
Lauzon reiterated his belief that the Legislature could resolve the issue by creating a carefully tailored exemption for banners similar to those that have been on display in downtown Barre for months. Allowing a suitably sized nod to sponsors on banners displayed in designated Vermont downtowns would do the trick, he said.
Im definitely going to pursue that (legislation), he said.
The city has already addressed concerns that some of the banners blocked directional signs a second issue raised by Gamble by moving the signs to make them more easily visible to motorists.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
sasuke couldnt copy FRS as neither could kakashi cause its attack is to fast to read

kakashi just cant use wind element but can use all other elements however his main element is lighting and can use all jutsu of that element.
he cannot use jutsu of the other elements that we would consider class S
isnt rasengan a wind element...?
anyways.. i always say if u train u can do any type of move....
besides KG & blood line limits...
But as far as sharringan.... Itachi & sasuke are cocky...lol...
so they wouldnt copy a jutsu anymore cause they dont need too...
the last time i seen any type of jutsu copy from itachi was (actually it was a reverse lol)
when he was fightin kurenai and he told her genjutsu on that level wont work...lol...
kakashi does it cause hes nice...lol..
i mean he trained and was good already...
the sharringan made him better along with training of course...
i only see kakachi copy water type jutsu or other that not use elemental

remember kakashi? he ''Has'' all elements because he copied the jutsus
Kakashi has never used a Wind natured jutsu, and he's only used a fire one during the anime. I think there is always one element a ninja can never use. (Exceptions like the Rin'Nigan are there though)

in the chapter(kakashi gaiden) where kakashi first show's is chidori to yodaime he speak's of a hard tecnic and when he shows it to naruto while wind training he sais that yodaime tought it to him
i dont think so.
I think he needs Water chakra to do that

yeah kakashi only did a fire jutsu in a lesson of hand signs to some kids like in the part naruto tels us is size when he comes back on shippunden episode 1
Originally Posted by Koo
i think most people are braindead when it comes to the sharingan you cant just copy jutsu with it.... have you ever seen itachi or sasuke copy jutsu? hell no!!!! kakashi can do it because he is a genius he uses the sharingan to follow handseals as all sharingan user can but kakashi can also mimick the person and since the sharingan can see chakra as colors and whatnot kakashi knows how much chakra to exert in order to activate the jutsu... he also has a vast knowlege of jutsu and how they work so copying a jutsus seals and using a specific type of jutsu just by watching someone is his skill its something unique to KAKASHI not unique to the SHARINGAN... honestly i dont think people read the manga...
im srry im in a pissy mood tonight ignore all the crap i said....
Koo, take it easy! We have all read the manga, but there are too many things to remember. I have always believed Sharingan cannot copy K.G. but I cannot remember for sure, so if someone asks about it they make me doubt.
Besides the mentioning of that happened a long time ago, we have lately being focusing on Naruto's RS and all the new techniques, as well as Akatsuki's powers.
in the chapter(kakashi gaiden) where kakashi first show's is chidori to yodaime he speak's of a hard tecnic and when he shows it to naruto while wind training he sais that yodaime tought it to him
I cant find it
Naruto 240 page 14 | One Manga
heres the gaiden after kakashi uses chidori and yondaime never mentions or hints about rasengans at all.
Naruto 321 page 09 | One Manga
Also doesnt mention anything about yondaime teaching it to him
Naruto 321 page 10 | One Manga
But oh look
He copied it, my point exactly.
Kakashi copied rasengan using his sharingan, however he certainly cannot copy FRS, too much chakra needed, way too much, and as the manga says, spatial recomposition and elemental at the same time is F ing hard
About how Kakashi can use Rasengan i don't think the right word would be copy. Although in the manga copy is the word he uses i believe since the 4th was his sensei he propably showed to him, maybe while he was practising to master it (like look i made a new jutsu but in a more serious way) or he saw him using it on an opponent and kakashi with his sharingan and being a genius figoured out himself the 3 steps to master rasengan (much like how Jiraya tought Naruto) and with lot of practise he managed to "copy" it. Also Kakashi can make a resengan without using a shodow clone unlike Naruto but he still is not at Jirayas lvl cause when Kakashi creates rasengan he uses bth hands. A hand to create resengan and the other to make it stable/ hold still? idk
I always thought to copy a jutsu there must be Seals to copy. :>
Well, the other way thought Kakashi can/could perform a Rasengan. The question is whether he copied it or he just learnt it by himself like Naruto. :confused:
sharingan can copy elemental jutsu's if the elemental source is nearby

Two little used and great descriptive words:
phthisis (pronounced alternately: tisis, tesis, thisis, and thesis; from Greek: phth- a wasting) obsolete medical term for consumption, most typically tuberculosis. A wasted (consumed) person is phthisic
Note: I prefer the thi sounding pronunciation for the noun, but the hard t for the adjective (my own strangeness). Also, I have seen it spelled with a y instead of the i, but both Dorlands and Stedmans medical dictionaries list it with the i. I have also (old medical journals/articles) seen the adjective spelled phthitic and phthytic.
Another favorite of mine:
wizened (wiz end; Old English wisnian to dry up) to dry up, wither, or shrivel
Thus a very sickly person can be described (I love documenting this in the charts and few people have any idea what I am saying ) as: phthisic and wizened so much more colorful than wasted and dehydrated!!
Same root/meaning as phthisis leads to two other lovely words:
phthisiophobic intense, morbid fear of tuberculosis
phthisiotherapeutic of or related to the treatment of tuberculosis

Christopher Robin had wheezles and sneezles
They bundled him into his bed.
They gave him what goes with cold in the nose,
And some more for cold in the head.
They wondered if wheezles could turn into measles,
If sneezles would turn into mumps;
They examined his chest for a rash, and the rest
Of his body for swelling and lumps.
They sent for some doctors in sneezles and wheezles
To tell them what ought to be done.
All sorts and conditions of famous physicians
Came hurrying round at a run.
They all made a note of state of his throat,
They asked if he suffered from thirst;
They asked if the sneezles came after the wheezles,
Or if the first sneezles came first.
They say If you teasle a sneezle or wheezle,
A measle may easily grow.
But humour or pleazle the wheezle or sneezle,
The measle will certainly go.
They expounded the reazles for sneezles and wheezles,
The manner of measles when new.
They said, If he freezles in draughts and in breezles,
Then PHTHEEZLES may even ensue.
Christopher Robin got up in the morning,
The sneezles had vanished away.
And the look of his eye seemed to say to the sky,
"Now, how to amuse them today?"

Well, Frank Luther sang it as "theezles," and since Milne has alreay used up the "tea" sound in warning us not to teasle a sneezle or wheezle I suspect he meant it to be a real th, not a Germanic one...anyone around from Britian who might know the range of pronunciation?

When it comes to scripted series, USA is best known for its lighthearted drama ("Psych," "Royal Pains") or mild action-adventure ("Burn Notice," "White Collar"). The cable network has built a popular brand around these simplistic, yet entertaining offerings.
Some (myself included) expected USA's latest project, "Political Animals," to be a more in-depth, powerful drama. "Political Animals" doesn't attempt anything that grand in the pilot, but it also lacks the easygoing charm of USA's other series.
"Political Animals" stars Sigourney Weaver as Elaine Barrish Hammond, a fictionalized version of Hillary Clinton who loses a tough presidential primary and accepts the secretary of state position in the new administration. While that sounds familiar, the story diverges from real life.
Elaine divorces her philandering, charismatic former president husband Bud Hammond (Ciaran Hinds) immediately after losing the primary. They have two sons, all-American wonder boy Douglas (James Wolk) and unstable homosexual T.J. (Sebastian Stan), instead of a daughter. Oh, and the president isn't a Barack Obama or George W. parallel — he's a conniving jerk named Paul Garcetti (Adrian Pasdar).
The crux of the pilot revolves around journalist Susan Berg (Carla Gugino) blackmailing Elaine with T.J.'s secret scandal — annoyingly referenced about a dozen times as "last December."
The various plots in the family/political drama are soapy and predictable at best, and at worst perfunctory and trite. The dialogue is only occasionally well written and stimulating. Of the cast members, only Weaver, Gugino and Elaine's boozy mom Margaret (Ellen Burstyn) make the script seem better than it really is.
"Political Animals" is billed as a "limited series event," which means it's a mini-series — unless it gets big ratings and USA orders more episodes. I like to think of it as the McRib of TV shows; it's supposedly available for a "limited time only," yet most likely available every year. Much like eating a McRib, watching "Political Animals" will make you feel faintly satisfied, but guilty more than anything.

Now Better Than Ever! New Wolfcom 3rd Eye Version 1.5 Just Released
Hollywood, Calif. - Wolfcom Enterprises has just launched the Wolfcom 3rd Eye version 1.5 police and military body worn camera. The 1.5 version will now have two user password protection which means that an administrator will have complete control over how the body cameras is used and can set user permissions and access. Admin can also decide whether or not officers can play back, delete, download files, or change settings. With the 1.5 version, user settings can be made so that an officer can download files but not delete files it also can be configured so that an officer can or cannot play back files. The admin can also choose if an officer can change any settings themselves or if they need the admin's approval to change a setting. With the Wolfcom 3rd Eye version 1.5, every option is now configurable.
Another upgrade to their current body camera technology is invert recording. Because the Wolfcom 3rd Eye can be integrated into a two-way radio replacing an officer's lapel mic, some police officers prefer to wear their lapel mics across their back over the shoulders with the lapel mic hanging upside down. This will usually result in upside down video. However with the new 1.5 version, the Wolfcom 3rd Eye can now be configured to record video right side up when the unit is hanging upside down.
Another innovating feature of the Wolfcom 3rd Eye version 1.5 is the ability to add police badge numbers. Now law enforcement agencies that purchase the Wolfcom 3rd Eye will have the ability to enter an officer's badge number onto the unit. All video and photos taken with the Wolfcom unit will not only have the date and time stamp along with the GPS coordinates stamped onto it, but will also have an officer's badge number as well.
Another cool feature is the ability to tag important files. For example, a police officer may have hundreds of photos, videos, and audio files recorded and stored on his body camera but have no way of tagging or marking what's important to him. What usually would happen is accidental erasure of important evidence. With Wolfcom's 1.5 version on officer can now tag and lock important files for easy access later and to prevent accidental deletion of that file.
With an urgency to create the most useful law enforcement tool ever, Wolfcom is dedicated to stay ahead of the game by creating and developing the best police body camera technology for the future.
About Wolfcom 3rd Eye
Wolfcom Enterprises manufactures the ultimate Law Enforcement Tool. The Wolfcom 3rd Eye is much more than just a body camera. It is a Multi-Purpose, Multi-Functional Indispensable Law Enforcement tool that will assist officers in their day to day duties.

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Update and Next Steps....
Yesterday I paid close attention to my thoughts as my mood plunged and they were all focused on this illness. This is what the "blue meanies" tell me when I'm depressed: "you'll never have any improvement" "life is meaningless because I'm ill" "you'll never get better, have any peace, find acceptance, etc..." "you'll probably only get worse and end up bedbound" "you got sick because ultimately you're a bad worthless person who has no use in the world" "you have nothing to contribute anymore to why go on living" or "you're just a burden to everyone now." And the days are spent just trying to survive my mind. I haven't been able to blog because I didn't want to involve others in my pity party.
I realize some of this is part of the illness, some is Valcyte, and some is trying raise myself out of the ashes of my old life. I was reading something written by Emmit Miller, MD. He wrote a new book whose name escapes me now. But in the book he talked about the inner voice of healing. This inner voice can get trampled in the throes of trauma, depression, etc...I'm trying to reconnect to that inner voice.
I've been reading a little here and there from the book "Finding the Way Home: A Compassionate Approach to Illness" by Gayle Heiss. I'm finding it very helpful.
As far as updates I've been on Valcyte for 4 months and one week. I will be glad to finish this experience. In many ways it has been bad for my soul and spirit. I don't know what good its doing for me physically. The past couple mornings upon awakening I've told myself I'm taking a break from Valcyte but I get up and take it anyway just in case its doing some good.
Awhile ago I wrote a post and then deleted it (and then did the same thing again on Friday-another symptom of the depression) but Jo made a great comment about the differences between the UK and US regarding treatment for this illness. I saved it but have so many emails in my inbox because of all the groups I'm on that its a bit overwhelming to find it. I was struck by her comment and it has stayed with me but it highlighted for me how drug focused we are in this country about finding a medication to fix the unfixable. Forgetting for a moment the horrendous attitudes that take place in this country and the UK towards me/cfs one thing the UK has done correctly is helping people focus on pacing. Truly pacing is the only proven method for dealing with this illness. Cort Johnson mentions this in his reporting of the IACFS/ME Conference in Reno: http://aboutmecfs.org/Conf/IACFS09Behavioral.aspx
One of the poster presentations was by a man named Ashok Gupta who recovered from this illness. His was viral in nature. He developed a program called the Amygdala Retraining Program and runs a clinic in London. His theory is that the amygdala, a structure in the brain, is overactive and responsible for maintaining the symptoms of me/cfs. He has developed some powerful techniques to "retrain" the amygdala. I've decided to try his program. I really need some help in calming my overactive nervous system down and I think this can help. He says it can help 85% percent of patients. I've ordered the program and am looking forward to receiving it in a couple weeks. I will report on my progress with the program. He asks that one commit 100% to the program for 6 months. So that's what I plan on doing next.
For the past year I've been treating pathogens but haven't had a lot of improvement. Along with the Amygdala Retraining Program I will also consult with an ND to get my hormone levels back to normal. This is something my current cfs doctor seems to be weak on.
I've had enough of treating pathogens. The "you have to feel worse in order to get better" philosophy is getting old to me. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a herxeimer reaction so I'm taking a break from chasing pathogens. No one knows what causes this disease much less how to cure it.
I want to stop the Valcyte. I think my body is telling me to. But, unless there is some indication not to, I will continue it for the next 54 days. If someone were to ask me if I thought they should try Valcyte I would say no (unless they were young). The data just isn't there to support trying this drug which causes horrible side effects. I did a rough poll of various message boards where people had tried Valcyte. I would roughly estimate that less than 30% have improvement. There are many other ways to treat HHV 6. Really though I think the body's nervous system must be calmed down and then work on building the immune system.
I feel a little hope today. Not because I'm going to be cured. I've given up on that (which isn't a bad thing). I feel hope because maybe I once again believe I can still create a life that is rich and meaningful.

Thanks for expending the energy to write this blog so that the rest of us don't feel quite so alone and crazy.
I had been considering trying to find a doc to do the Valcyte thing with. I think I'll pass for now. I am seriously considering Gupta's program. Committing to 6 months is pretty damn unrealistic for me, but you don't know if you don't try.
Hang in there, thanks for sharing, and looking forward to your amygdala experiences.

I know 3 people quite well through an online support group and they have used the amygdala training and swear by it. They believe it has helped them greatly with the flight or fight aspect and pacing, etc. I had just told my husband today that I am ordering it!!!
I really hope you find it helpful and I hope I do too. I am so ready for this anxiety part of this illness to let go its grip.
On another note regarding the V. drug...why do you want to keep going with it?
I heard echos of my own voice in your post today. So glad I read it.
Wishing you better days ahead

Thanks for reading my blog and taking the time to comment. This blog and people's comments help me feel not so alone and crazy.
I would wait on Valcyte until Dr. Montoya's study is published (if it ever will). I think it's telling that over one year after he completed his second study on Valcyte that he hasn't published the results.
I figure six months will go by whether I commit to the Amygdala Retraining Program or not so I might as well commit myself one day at a time. I did the same with Valcyte...
I'll keep you posted on the AR Program.

Hi Renee-
It's great to hear that you know three people who have tried the Amygdala Retraining program have noticed improvements!
I hope we both find it useful. I have a feeling we will especially since we both experience anxiety and that heightened nervous system symptoms. I'll look forward to reading about your experience on it. We can compare notes about it too.
Regarding Valcyte-I think the only reason I'm continuing it is "just in case it works" although in my heart I know its not doing much. Its time for me to come to terms with that. If I'm still the same in three weeks I'm going to stop it. Sometimes I think I'm continuing it just to please others.
I wish you better days ahead too.

I am glad you posted ...I doubt I mentioned this to you about valcyte and my reasons for quitting, other than I didn't get better... but my mental symptoms became so much worse on valcyte, they became intolerable. I have a mental illness separate from CFS and FM and and and, not that it matters what it is, and I noticed I became psychotic with worsening depression as well as sleeping problems where I would be trapped in nightmares that I could not wake up from (hypnopompic state)... this went on for a few days and then I did some research and discovered that montoya had disqualified ALL patients in his program with established mental illness!!!! nobody, including my fancy doc, knew this and if they did, they didn't tell me...I almost sued my doc as well as my shrink after this but in the end, decided it would only make me sicker and I would probably lose besides...so long story short, if you are depressed, you will probably notice it will worsen as you continue...I don't recommend you continue with this symptom as it is worsening, if I read you right...it may manifest as other problems as time goes by because valcyte definitely messes with the brain! if you do enough research, you will find this documented and if I remember right, the man you mention who stopped blogging had several mental symptoms forcing his hand as well as not getting better from his CFS.
on the other hand, I am glad to read about this program by gupta and I look forward to your experiences and impressions of it before I invest in another perhaps wild goose chase trying to "get over" this damned illness...I am in a flare right now so am not in a good mood about it all but do feel some hope knowing there are some who are continuing to think out of the box and , of course, it would be in the UK or europe....forget the US, we are in the grip of the bigdrugcompany syndrome and that about seals the deal for anything NEW and IMPROVED!
anyway, blessings to you as you continue onward with this...I know how it is, hear you behind your words and also hear, with a bit of hope, there is more....keep on blogging so we can all learn from each other.

I laughed out loud at the Eeyore comment. My daughter and I have a code for when either one of us is suffering from the "black meanies" (I call them) - we quote Marvin the Paranoid Android. "Life, don't talk to me about life."
When I commented on your deleted post I think I made an analogy between cancer sufferers going through chemotherapy and CFS sufferers taking drugs like Valcyte. We are so ill we will try anything. But who really benefits? Usually it's the drug companies.
Amygdala Retraining sounds a bit like Mickel therapy, Lightning therapy, Reverse therapy etc. Lots of folks swear by these new therapies and I don't want to detract from anybody's good experience. However, I would say that they sound really plausible and you have to hand over a load of wonga. Some people are making good business out of CFS, and that really pisses me off.
Yeesh, I could have written a whole post by now.
Have a better day :-)

I've seen the best feedback for help using pacing than any approach in a long time. I'm glad you posted. I have a rebound of a bug I caught so I'm going to 'pace' myself, tell you I'm pulling for you and go lie down.

Hi Linda-
Thanks for the info about Montoya screening people out who had mental illness including depression. This is such important information!
I agree about learning from one another. I think we patients have more knowledge about what is going on than the docs treating us!
I tried finding that blog again but it looks like it was taken down. I remember the man writing that Valcyte killed his spirit.
Bigdrugcompany syndrome is a great phrase! I saw a doctor once who was late because he was meeting with a drug rep. His office was filled with "freebies" from the drug companies. I never returned as it was clear who he was allied with.
Its always good to hear your input.
I hope your flare passes quickly.

Hi Jo-
I'm glad you enjoyed the Eeyore comment. I've not heard of Marvin the Paranoid Android! Great quote! I'll have to look him up for future reference....
I don't know much at all about Reverse Therapy or Mickel Therapy etc...On Ashok Gupta's website he says that his program is not these things. I'll keep you posted (no pun intended).
Feel free to post here anytime! :)

Hi Pris-
I was checking your blog and started to get worried so I'm glad to hear from you.
Thanks for your support. It means a lot.
I hope the bug passes really quickly.

Terri -
I'm sorry to hear you're still struggling so much with depression - I also believe that at least part of it is the result of CFS and/or the treatment.
I'm as guilty as anyone of looking to pharmacological solutions. My logical, analytical side (which is dominant!) tells me that this is a physical illness that should have a physical cure. But, of course, we're not there yet, are we?
I have gotten some improvement from a combination of anti-virals (Valtrex and Famvir) plus low-dose naltrexone - they improved my functioning by about 10% which translated to a pretty good improvement in quality of life.
I'm very curious to see how the amygdala thing goes - please keep us up to date. I get so frustrated that the main approach to treating CFS is pacing - it seems to me to be a message of we can't fix the illness, so you have to change your life to accommodate it. I know that's not all there is to it - it's just my scientific side again, wanting a scientific answer.
I wish you strength in dealing with this depression. Don't ever be afraid to write for fear of sounding self-pitying - everyone in the CFS blog community understands - we've all been there ourselves!

Hi Sue-
Thank you so much for your response. Its hard not to judge myself when in the midst of depression.
I do believe that antivirals and pharmacological interventions have an important place in treating cfs.
I wish there were more information about the different subsets. It seems like we have to figure out which subset we are in and then try treatments that address that.
I would take 10% improvement in functioning anytime.

|Publication ID: 2012
|Title: Hazardous Materials: Miscellaneous Pressure Vessel Requirements (DOT Spec Cylinders) (RRR)
|Abstract: This rulemaking would revise certain requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) applicable to the manufacture, maintenance, and use of DOT specification cylinders. These revisions clarify certain important safety requirements, incorporate industry consensus standards and, where appropriate, decrease the regulatory burden without compromising the safe transportation of compressed gases in commerce. This rulemaking responds to eleven petitions for rulemaking, incorporates two special permits into the HMR and addresses the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Recommendation I-93-1. Among other provisions, PHMSA would provide requirements for the transport of fire suppression systems, clarify cylinder specification and requalification requirements, and adopt new and update current incorporations by reference of industry consensus standards issued by the Compressed Gas Association.

Quote:Since they haven't been over here since 2007 I believe, their set was mostly songs from their 2011 album One For Sorrow
Written by Promonex on 18.11.2012 at 16:17
Nice report. Seems like you've been lucky with Insomnium. Apparently they had another sound tech over there than they have here in Europe. The two times I've seen them the sound sucked so much that I had problems to tell the songs apart.
And it seems Epica got the same light show as on their European tour earlier this year. Man, was I mad that I didn't bring my camera that night! But in our case they played all the new stuff at the very beginning of the set, and then they were like "okay, so this was the stuff the label wanted us to play, now we'll continue with the stuff you want us to play." At least it felt like that. Good times

The second I read the title of this dessert, I was in — coconut kisses. Mmm!
I also liked it because it used so few ingredients, things that I often have on hand in the pantry—butter, coconut flakes and sweetened condensed milk.
So, despite my tumultuous history with candy-making — I have cried over many a pan of ruined fudge — I decided to give these little Brazilian kisses a try.
First, I put the butter and condensed milk into a small saucepan and brought it to a simmer over medium low heat.
It took maybe 10 minutes to reach a simmer, and once it was there, it moved directly on to a rolling boil. I was worried about burning it, so I turned it down to low and stirred it constantly.
It took about 15 minutes until it had reduced by half and was at, what we call in the biz, the "soft ball" stage.
I took it off the stove and buttered a glass bowl. Then once the mixture had cooled a bit, I poured it in the bowl and stuck it in the fridge to cool for two hours.
Next up — buttering the hands! Do you know how hard it is to take a picture with buttered hands? But I did it anyway, for you.
I rubbed that pat of butter all over my hands until I was ready to go … but the second after I took this picture, my baby woke from her nap. And the candy went back in the fridge for an entire day, until I had some more uninterrupted time. I don't think this hurt the recipe at all.
So, re-greased the next day, I started making little balls with the candy.
The recipe says to make them tablespoon sized, but after making a couple, I started making them smaller and smaller — they are rich little kisses, so a little goes a long way.
Then I rolled them in coconut, and voila!
These were easy to make and didn't end in me crying over the stove. I think they'd be a great recipe to make with kids, as it involves lots of stirring and lots of getting your hands messy.
They are very sweet and simple, but still tasty and a nice way to make a treat that someone in Brazil might enjoy!

Prosper helped me pay for essential things we needed, as well as pay down credit card debt. In such an uncertain time, we didn't have to worry about losing everything we worked so hard for.
Within a week I got the money in my bank account. I'll be able to pay off my credit card debt in 3 years—at half the interest rate I was paying before.
It was tough getting my finances back together, and I was kind of relying on my credit card. Prosper let me consolidate, and now I only have one payment.

Chemo Chic
Dorsey was often frustrated by how strangers reacted to her appearance. "I remember the first time I wore a turban and walked into a bakery--I scared the hell out of this woman. She looked at me with an expression that said 'cancer has just walked in.' I understood, though, because I used to be terrified of cancer too. Even in hospitals, if a friend and I walked down the hall wearing turbans, people would give us funny looks."
Nicholas shares a tip he learned from a client, "Wearing a scarf over a bald head looks unnatural because the scarf is too close to the scalp. Creating layers such as wearing two scarves or a scarf under a hat simulates the bulk of hair."
Dorsey felt pressured to wear her wig in certain settings, such as in front of strangers and children. "When you wear a wig, you're pretty much invisible. But wigs can get hot and uncomfortable." She and Libby Levinson, a woman in her support group, eventually tired of worrying about people's reactions and opted to wear scarves under baseball hats with various logos, dubbing it 'Chemo Chic.'
Hair is a protective shield for the scalp from sun, extreme temperatures, and other harsh elements. Both Gallagher and Nicholas recommend gentle hydrating scalp care--using a mild facial cleanser instead of shampoo, a daily moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher, and drinking adequate fluids (6-8 glasses of non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages daily).
The American Cancer Society sponsors a community-based, free national program for women with cancer called "Look Good... Feel Better." These workshops are offered in cancer centers, hospitals, and other community settings across the country. Teams of trained beauty professionals teach skin care, makeup, hair and nails, and the use of wigs, hats, turbans and scarves. For more information, visit the American Cancer Society web site or call 1-800-395-LOOK to find programs in your area.
Moving Forward
Now that Debbie Dorsey's hair has completely grown back, she sports a short, stylish cut. Reflecting on the experience she says, "I never really accepted or felt comfortable with the hair loss. But I learned that being bald didn't rob my femininity."
Gallagher says that she doesn't know if her patients overcome their feelings through the hair loss experience, but they eventually feel that they are managing it. "That's what I'm aiming for. If a person says "Oh everything's fine, I'll be fine,' I get nervous. That overly bright persona tends to be more fragile than someone who has natural ups and downs."
Dorsey's message to readers is for people to learn and talk about cancer and cancer prevention. "Until they can find a cure for cancer, we need to stop fearing it and take a proactive role by getting yearly screenings." Dorsey was featured in a recent PBS documentary titled "No Hair Day," which follows the making of a photography exhibit and the experiences of Dorsey and two other women undergoing chemotherapy.

Konur was about 3.5 years old the last time we NIPed and it was at a play area in a mall and with other LLL friends. He hurt himself and nothing else was helping, so I let him nurse for a few minutes. Generally, I say we need to wait til we get home and he is okay with it. He would nurse all the time if I let him though.
Mali is almost 2 and I have no idea when we will stop. Around that age I would guess.
I stopped because I know that people can report me and its not something I care to deal with. I know it's legal, but I have heard horror stories about women being investigated for child abuse for nursing an older child. I would just rather not take that chance. I will nurse him in front of friends and family though, they need to see that it's normal and natural, but not strangers. I guess that's a cop out, huh?

then you are wrong.
There has been no bigger critic than me of "twinning" between clubs, but in actual fact it is a paper exercise. The bottom line is that no SL team is going to release their top players to the championship, and if they did, because theyare effectively hired, the club concerned couldn't afford them - how much do you reckon sam tomkins would cost to hire ? It seems to me nobody has much of a problem with DR (fev did it last year) except when they are from one club. Some fev supporters will boycott the rams match tomorrow, and that is their perogative, but there will only be two bulls players in the team tomorrow, neither of whom are any better than what we have already, so fev certainly won't be playing against the full bulls squad. Personally I am against more than two or three DR's being allowed at any one time per club, but having said that, one of the two signed up for us at the beginning of last season never got released, which put us at a disadvantage. Now I am going to throw something else into the mix - could it be that fev, like fax, are not going down the same route as us "lesser" clubs because they have genuine SL aspirations, aspirations that could not be realised if they were merely a SL clubs #####. I therefore would suggest that DP's objections are more pragmatic than moral.
And I don't know anyone who intends boycotting the game this aft.

Stocks Close Flat as Markets Shrug at Jobs Report
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets closed effectively unchanged Friday following a whipsaw morning session as markets shrugged at the August jobs report.
The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average initially spiked in response to the report, a bad-news-is-good-news reaction whereby poor economic indicators translate into a delay of Federal Reserve tapering.
The subsequent sell-off was sparked by the realization that the central bank could still begin tapering before the end of the year and as early as September if it had the view that the overall economic situation still looks constructive.
"Now that all the trade positioning seems to be out of the way, markets are settling," Dave Roda, regional chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Private Bank in Palm Beach, Fla. said over the phone.
The S&P 500 added 0.08 point to close at 1,655.16 after falling as much as 0.9%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1% to 14,922.58 while Nasdaq edged up 0.03% to 3,660.01.
"We're still constructive on the economy, we're still constructive on markets, we feel that they're reasonably valued," said Roda. "But there will be an ongoing tug-of-war between the impact that rising rates will have on the economy and of course expectations of Fed tapering."
E*Trade Financial
American Tower Corporation
Non-farm payrolls added a smaller-than-expected 169,000 jobs in August, up from a downwardly revised 104,000 jobs the prior month. Economists, on average, were expecting an addition of 180,000 jobs, according a survey of economists by Thomson Reuters.
The unemployment rate dipped to 7.3% from 7.4% as the labor participation rate fell to the lowest since August 1978, to 63.2% from 63.4%. Economists expected unemployment to remain at 7.4%.
Despite the disappointing nonfarm payrolls number, the average gain in payroll employment in the last three months still amounts to 148,000, which according to Dawn Desjardins, the Toronto-based assistant chief economist at RBC Economics implies that income growth has been sufficient to keep consumers spending although at a relatively modest pace.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was surging 18/32, diluting the yield to 2.932%.

Menetrier Disease
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Menetrier Disease is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Menetrier disease is a rare disorder characterized by massive overgrowth of mucous cells (foveola) in the mucous membrane lining the stomach, resulting in large gastric folds. The main symptom associated with Menetrier disease is pain in the upper middle region of the stomach (epigastric pain). The cause of Menetrier disease is unknown.
There is considerable confusion and contradiction in the medical literature regarding disorders involving large gastric folds. The name Menetrier disease is often erroneously used to describe any condition with large gastric folds or as a synonym for giant hypertrophic gastritis (GHG). However, Menetrier disease is not a true form of gastritis. A diagnosis of Menetrier disease should be reserved for individuals with large gastric folds due to overgrowth of mucous cells. There is minimal or no stomach inflammation in Menetrier disease. Because inflammation is minimal or not present, Menetrier disease is classified as a form of hyperplastic gastropathy and not as a form of gastritis. Some researchers believe that Menetrier disease and GHG may be variants of the same disorder or different parts of one disease spectrum.
