This Glutathion work very well!! I'm going to buy again ana again
I feel misled

I have been taking glutathione intravenously from a naturopath doctor. After 10 sessions and some improvements, i stopped and decided to order this to take orally to save money. I was told later that this product taken orally serves no purpose and did some research on line which support my doctor's statement. I ordered this with R-lipoic acid and just finish the bottles up and hope something in there will help. We make mistakes and we learn.
Good results!

It may be time to experiment . . .

Recently, the issue of my hyperlipidemia and the cardiopulmonary consequences thereof has been raised by my doctor.The reason it came up now was my sister, who called me to inform me she is having heart trouble. She is three years my junior, but is already seeing a cardiologist to address her issues.I am hoping it is a temporary thing in her case.My father had a history of heart trouble. He died from his third major heart attack.On top of that, when I was being screened for the surgery to remove my hump, they found I had a minor issue with my heart. Something to do with the nerves which carry the signals to make my heart beat are not functioning properly. So, my doctor is concerned because, as he put it, I have three strikes against me. I was a smoker for years, there is a history of heart trouble in the family, and I have hyperlipidemia.Actually, there is also the HIV thing, so maybe that is four strikes. Anyway, the big concern at the moment are the lipids.They have been an ongoing problem for a long time. I switched to Isentress and Truvada to help lower my lipids.But, when I took statins, I developed a fair degree of rhabdomyolysis, which wasn't much fun.We stopped the statins. But now, despite my best efforts at diet and exercise, the lipids have again risen too high.Interestingly, Isentress can cause elevated CPKs, which I still have. But, as I mentioned in an earlier thread, I really can't change. This is about as lipid-friendly a regimen as we can get.The doctor is also concerned because I already had problems in the past, and the doctor is worried I might again develop hepatic steatosis, or even a recurrence of nonalcoholic steato hepatitis.Long story short (I know, too late), we may have to try a statin again. Perhaps Crestor, which I have heard good things about. If we can manage to drop the lipids with a small dosage, I may not end up with side effects that are too severe. If the pain and weakness can be kept to a lesser level, I may well learn to live with them.I guess we will discuss it at my next appointment. I was supposed to see him Jan 8, but I rescheduled because someone else needed to be seen and they had more critical issues to address.I think I see him the third week of January, so that gives me time to contemplate this further.One problem is that insurance companies are balking at paying for Crestor since Lipitor went generic. So, this might require the doctor to get a prior authorization from the insurance company should we decide to go with Crestor.Yep, my HIV is well controlled and my immune system is wonderfully strong. It is the rest of me that is falling apart. :oHUGS,Mark
Mark, it seems that the issue with your lipids is pretty critical. I know my situation is different, statin wise, but my doctor prescribed Crestor for me, since Lipitor caused those muscle issues. So far, so good.I hope your doctor can work something out for you that will be effective. It sounds troubling with that family history. Please take care and keep us updated! :-*
Mark,we have similar issues.i know how hard you have tried to deal with your lipids.no answers or advice from me.just wanted to wish you (and your sister) well.
Mark sorry to hear of the many interacting complications.... have some of the same issues....have been using Crestor for more than a year definitely helps to keep levels closer to where they need to be....also get regular "notices " from Insurance about generic Lipitor but we tried that and Dr keeps specifying the Crestor... he specifies on the script Crestor as prescribed....good luckNick
Hope it all goes well buddy. We're in very similar situations. Lipitor for me was nasty and I had to discontinue it. Pravastatin has allowed me to have awesome results. Having 2 heart attacks before the age of 40 forced me to address the issues.I never dreamt I'd live long enough to have HIV controlled and have the rest of me fall apart so rapidly. :oI did a 3 month extreme diet test after stopping pravastatin to see if my lipids would remain the same. I eliminated ALL foods that would affect the lipids and I saw a sudden and huge change (for the worse) in my numbers. Isentress is the culprit according to my doctor. After restarting, I again saw a change for the better and am resigned to taking it for the rest of my life if need be.Wishing you well

At the conclusion of each season, Michigan State, like many other teams, has a banquet for its players.
They eat. They laugh. They pick up awards.
In 2012, senior Draymond Green swept the card by taking home three of the most coveted trophies in the world of Spartans basketball—the Jumpin' Johnny Green Chairman of the Boards Award, team MVP and the Antonio Smith Glue and Guts Award.
That makes sense. Green was the best rebounder. He was most certainly the "guts" of Michigan State, and he was the most valuable to his teammates and coach.
This year, Adreian Payne could win those honors.
And like Green, he could finish his career as the Big Ten's player of the year. But that comes from the league, not coach Tom Izzo.
This slideshow will examine team-based awards, but it'll also look through a wider scope, designating possible winners of the Stephen G. Scofes Inspirational Player Award and potential suitors for non-specified distinctions, such as best shooter and best defender.

Halloween is the one and only day of the year where children and adults get to dress up and be whatever they want! A princess or superhero for your child and maybe even a couples costume for you and your significant other. Whatever your costume may be, Halloween is a tradition and what better way to enjoy Halloween with your family than with a traditional Halloween party!

Are you looking for something different to grill this summer? Try fresh fruit! It's a nutritious and colorful way to add exciting flavor to your backyard party. Fruit is comprised mostly of water and sugars. The heat of your grill will caramelize the natural sugars and reduce the water content, concentrating the flavor. Also, when you eat the fruit while still warm, it is luscious!

For years, "fat-free" was the mantra of healthy food. Then we learned that our bodies need fat — the right kind of fat. That's when things got confusing. So, allow me to present a sort of "fat primer."
There are four major dietary fats: monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats and trans fats (the last one being a dubious invention of the food industry).

Making raw nut milks from scratch is a fun and healthy choice for you and the planet.
I love these drinks because they eliminate the packaging of store bought milks, don't require something made largely of water to be shipped across the U.S. (which uses lots of fuel), and they are very fresh and healthy. No mystery ingredients, no preservatives.
Plus it's non-dairy, which is better for many folks and for the cows!
If you would like to see GMO foods labeled, now is a critical time to contact your elected officials. Right now, Congress is debating a proposed law that would block mandatory GMO labeling at the national and state levels. Titled The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act, this bill establishes new barriers to a national mandatory labeling system, and undermines the public will by nullifying GMO labeling laws already on the books in Vermont, Connecticut and Maine.
We usually don't think about seed when we sit down to eat our cereal in the morning or tuck the kids into their cotton sheets at night, but it all starts with seed. And the seed we sow affects the quality, nutrition, cost and environmental impact of all the food we eat and every fiber we wear.

A) no cosine/sine rule here..
use this:
[(n-2) * 180]/n = angle of 1 vertex = x
n = number of vertices (6)
B) draw lines from each vertex to the center of hexagon so you'll see the triangles.
all sides of a chosen triangle are the same length = a
((a^2 = a^2 + a^2 - 2 * a * a * cos (x/2)
x = the angle you calculated in A) section. << just to show the cosine rule.. you get nothing from that without knowing a))
better way is to use this.. 2 * [(a * sqrt (3))/2] = 7
you can compare the results.. should be the same.
C) what's a guttering? xD
hmm.. 6a?

Eminem To Appear On P!nk's New Album
P!nk is adding some hip-hop flavor to her new album - she has recorded a duet with rap superstar Eminem.
The So What singer teamed up with Eminem to record Here Comes The Weekend for her upcoming release, The Truth About Love, and admits she didn't have to think twice when he asked her to collaborate with him.
She tells Australia's The Herald Sun newspaper, "He said, 'Do you want to do a song with me?' 'F**k yeah!' I said, 'Do you want to do a song with me?' and he said, 'F**k yeah!' Handshake. Nothing signed. Done."
P!nk went on to describe the track as an "alternative club banger" and reveals she is already planning to work with Eminem again, adding, "I think we have another song in our future that will be funny and s**t-talking."
British pop star Lily Allen and fun. rocker Nate Ruess also feature on P!nk's forthcoming release, due to hit shelves next month.

An employer can lawfully withhold amounts from an employee's wages only: (1) when required or empowered to do so by state or federal law, or (2) when a deduction is expressly authorized in writing by the employee to cover insurance premiums, benefit plan contributions or other deductions not amounting to a rebate on the employee's wages, or (3) when a deduction to cover health, welfare, or pension contributions is expressly authorized by a wage or collective bargaining agreement. Labor Code Sections 221 and 224. Although a wage garnishment is a lawful deduction from wages under Labor Code section 224, an employer cannot discharge an employee because a garnishment of wages has been threatened or if the employee's wages have been subjected to a garnishment for the payment of one judgment. Labor Code Section 2929(a) (See How to file a discrimination complaint)
The ability of an employer to deduct amounts from an employee's wages due to a cash shortage, breakage, or loss of equipment is specifically regulated by the Industrial Welfare Commission Orders and limited by court decisions. (Kerr's Catering v. Department of Industrial Relations (1962) 56 Cal.2d 319). In addition, there have been several court decisions that significantly restrict an employer's ability to take an offset against an employee's wages. Barnhill v. Sanders (1981) 125 Cal.App.3d 1, (Balloon payment on separation of employment to repay employee's debt to employer is an unlawful deduction even where the employee authorized such payment in writing); CSEA v. State of California (1988) 198 Cal.App.3d 374 (Unlawful to deduct from current payroll for past salary advances that were in error); Hudgins v. Nieman Marcus (1995) 34 Cal.App.4th 1109 (Deductions for unidentified returns from commission sales unlawful.)
Some common payroll deductions often made by employers that are unlawful include:
|What can my employer lawfully deduct from my wages?
|Under California law, an employer may lawfully deduct the following from an employee's wages:
|If I break or damage company property or lose company money while performing my job, can my employer deduct the cost/loss from my wages?
No, your employer cannot legally make such a deduction from your wages if, by reason of mistake or accident a cash shortage, breakage, or loss of company property/equipment occurs. The California courts have held that losses occurring without any fault on the part of the employee or that are merely the result of simple negligence are inevitable in almost any business operation and thus, the employer must bear such losses as a cost of doing business. For example, if you accidentally drop a tray of dishes, take a bad check, or have a customer walkout without paying a check, your employer cannot deduct the loss from your paycheck.
There is an exception to the foregoing contained in the Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders that purports to provide the employer the right to deduct from an employee's wages for any cash shortage, breakage or loss of equipment if the employer can show that the shortage, breakage or loss is caused by a dishonest or willful act, or by the employee's gross negligence. What this means is that a deduction may be legal if the employer proves that the loss resulted from the employee's dishonesty, willfulness, or grossly negligent act. Under this regulation, a simple accusation does not give the employer the right to make the deduction. The DLSE has cautioned that use of this deduction contained in the IWC regulations may, in fact, not comply with the provisions of the California Labor Code and various California Court decisions. Furthermore, DLSE does not automatically assume that an employee was dishonest, acted willfully or was grossly negligent when an employer asserts such as a justification for making a deduction from an employee's wages to cover a shortage, breakage, or loss to property or equipment.Labor Code Section 224 clearly prohibits any deduction from an employee's wages which is not either authorized by the employee in writing or permitted by law, and any employer who resorts to self-help does so at its own risk as an objective test is applied to determine whether the loss was due to dishonesty, willfulness, or a grossly negligent act. If your employer makes such a deduction and it is later determined that you were not guilty of a dishonest or willful act, or grossly negligent, you would be entitled to recover the amount of the wages withheld. Additionally, if you no longer work for the employer who made the deduction and it's decided that the deduction was wrongful, you may also be able to recover the waiting time penalty pursuant to Labor Code Section 203.
|What, if anything, can my employer do if I experience shortages in my cash drawer?
|Your employer may subject you to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Additionally, your employer can bring an action in court to try to recover any damages and/or losses it has suffered.
|My employer loaned me $500.00, and per our written agreement was taking $50.00 from each paycheck as an installment payment on the loan. When I quit last week my employer deducted the outstanding loan balance of $250.00 from my final paycheck. Is this legal?
|No. Although a California court has held that deductions for the periodic installment payments on a loan made to an employee by the employer are permissible when authorized in writing by the employee, the court also concluded that the balloon (lump sum) payment of the outstanding balance to be made at the time the employment relationship ends is not allowed notwithstanding the fact the employee has given his or her written consent to such a payment. When the employment relationship ends, your employer can only deduct the amount of one installment payment from your final paycheck.
|Can my employer deduct anything from my paycheck if I come to work late?
|Yes, your employer can deduct money from your paycheck for coming to work late. The deduction shall not, however, exceed the proportionate wage that would have been earned during the time actually lost, but for a loss of time less than 30 minutes, a half hour's wage may be deducted. Labor Code Section 2928. For example, if you earn $12.00 per hour and come to work 40 minutes late, your employer can deduct $8.00 from your paycheck. And if you come to work five minutes late, your employer can deduct $6.00.
|What can I do if my employer makes an illegal deduction from my paycheck?
|You can either file a wage claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (the Labor Commissioner's Office), or file a lawsuit in court against your employer to recover the lost wages. Additionally, if you no longer work for this employer, you can make a claim for the waiting time penalty pursuant to Labor Code Section 203.
|What is the procedure that is followed after I file a wage claim?
After your claim is completed and filed with a local office of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), it will be assigned to a Deputy Labor Commissioner who will determine, based upon the circumstances of the claim and information presented, how best to proceed. Initial action taken regarding the claim can be referral to a conference or hearing, or dismissal of the claim.
If the decision is to hold a conference, the parties will be notified by mail of the date, time and place of the conference. The purpose of the conference is to determine the validity of the claim, and to see if the claim can be resolved without a hearing. If the claim is not resolved at the conference, the next step usually is to refer the matter to a hearing or dismiss it for lack of evidence.
At the hearing the parties and witnesses testify under oath, and the proceeding is recorded. After the hearing, an Order, Decision, or Award (ODA) of the Labor Commissioner will be served on the parties.
Either party may appeal the ODA to a civil court of competent jurisdiction. The court will set the matter for trial, with each party having the opportunity to present evidence and witnesses. The evidence and testimony presented at the Labor Commissioner's hearing will not be the basis for the court's decision. In the case of an appeal by the employer, DLSE may represent an employee who is financially unable to afford counsel in the court proceeding.See the Policies and Procedures of Wage Claim Processing pamphlet for more detail on the wage claim procedure.
|What can I do if I prevail at the hearing and the employer doesn't pay or appeal the Order, Decision, or Award?
|When the Order, Decision, or Award (ODA) is in the employee's favor and there is no appeal, and the employer does not pay the ODA, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) will have the court enter the ODA as a judgment against the employer. This judgment has the same force and effect as any other money judgment entered by the court. Consequently, you may either try to collect the judgment yourself or you can assign it to DLSE.
|What can I do if my employer retaliates against me because I objected to a deduction from my wages?
|If your employer discriminates or retaliates against you in any manner whatsoever, for example, he discharges you because you object to what you believe to be an illegal deduction, or because you file a claim or threaten to file a claim with the Labor Commissioner, you can file a discrimination/retaliation complaint with the Labor Commissioner's Office. In the alternative, you can file a lawsuit in court against your employer.

You don't need a divining rod to find these sources of High Plains water.
Greenbelt Lake and Lake Mackenzie stand in plain view, ready to pump life-giving water to the communities along their many miles of pipelines.
But for how long is anyone's guess.
Even though Greenbelt Lake has enough water now, people shouldn't become complacent, said Bobbie Kidd, general manager for Greenbelt Municipal and Industrial Water Authority.
"We're still low," he said, adding that the lake sits at 62 feet, five feet away from implementing a drought plan. "We've been low since the 1990s."
Greenbelt Lake, opened in 1954 and located north of Clarendon on the Salt Fork of the Red River, serves five member cities: Childress, Clarendon, Crowell, Hedley and Quanah.

Read Got Water?
The authority also sells water to the Red River Authority, a separate entity headquartered in Wichita Falls, which brings water to rural residents without established water authorities, Kidd said.
Lake officials pump an average of 3.5 million gallons of water daily, he said.
A unique system - using gravity to move water through a sloping pipeline to the southeast away from the pump station - cuts back on electricity and doesn't require as many booster stations to push water along, Kidd said.
While he said he couldn't guess how long the lake could last and wouldn't want to put a number on it anyway, Kidd said rains since Labor Day have raised the lake three feet.
At some point, Greenbelt Municipal and Industrial Water Authority has plans to buy water elsewhere, although Kidd would not elaborate on future purchases.
Sean Pate, Clarendon city administrator, said even though the town depends on Greenbelt's water resources, he's not worried.
"We've been fortunate to have a wet season," Pate said. "If we do ever hit a dry spell, that would obviously be something of a concern."
Lake Mackenzie customers know what a dry spell's like. They've been having one for almost 10 years, forcing some to tap the Ogallala Aquifer to meet their needs.
Mackenzie Municipal Water Authority, which serves Tulia, Silverton, Floydada and Lockney, opened in the 1980s with a promise to deliver 1 million gallons to each member city annually.
Now the authority has cut back to 1 million gallons for all four member cities. The lake has dropped so low - to 69 feet - that officials have to pump the water off the surface, said Van Breedlove, the lake's general manager.
The lower production brought water prices up, which eventually had member cities forcing a reduction in staff and changes in insurance coverage.
Most of the towns supplement their water supply with wells. But even with wells, Silverton relies 80 percent on Mackenzie water during the summer and 100 percent during the winter months, said Jerry Patton, Silverton's city administrator.
The town just can't find enough potable groundwater to sustain 800 people, he said.
"If a number of things come together, we would be hard-pressed not to ration," Patton said.
That may not happen any time soon. Tulia officials voted this summer to sell water to Silverton, in a plan that would entail pulling water out of one of Tulia's tanks and pushing it along Mackenzie pipelines to Silverton, said Paula Wilson, Tulia city manager.
Breedlove said if the dry spell continues, Silverton wouldn't be the only town looking for another source of water.
He said the lake could technically dry up within a year, long before the dam's $6 million debt is paid off in 2020.
"That's a good possibility if it doesn't rain in the next year," he said.

* Contaminated over-the-counter topical antiseptics can produce infections when they're used preoperatively or prior to injection.
* The source of such contamination is usually poor aseptic technique during use or storage of the drug or contaminated water used for dilution of the antiseptic.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Drug Safety Communication to warn health care providers and the public of the risk of infections from using contaminated over-the-counter (OTC) topical antiseptics. Such topical products contain common antiseptics, including ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, povidone or poloxamer iodine, benzalkonium or benzethonium chloride, or chlorhexidine gluconate. They're packaged as either single-use or multiuse products. The FDA's warning is based on the evaluation of case reports citing infections after the use of topical antiseptics preoperatively or before injection. Although the risk of infection from a contaminated antiseptic is low, there is still a risk of serious infections or even death. The case reports reviewed by the FDA included
* four deaths.
* five cases of wound infection.
* seven cases of peritonitis.
* 10 cases of septic arthritis.
* 14 cases of indwelling catheters that required replacement.
* 16 cases of injection-site infection.
* 32 cases of bacteremia.
The infections are usually a result of bacteria that have been introduced into the antiseptic. Although in some cases this happens at the manufacturing facility, in the majority of cases bacteria are introduced by an end user who doesn't follow aseptic technique (in use or storage of the product) or who dilutes the product with contaminated water.
In an effort to prevent such infections, the FDA is requesting that OTC antiseptics for preoperative or preinjection use be packaged as single units only. The FDA is also asking manufacturers to make clear in the labeling whether the product is manufactured as a sterile or a nonsterile product (sterile products are specially treated during manufacturing to eliminate all potential organisms, but not all OTC antiseptics are manufactured using sterile techniques).
Nurses should confirm that they're compliant with the principles of asepsis when using these products. Even those products manufactured for multiple uses should be considered single-use products, and any remaining solution or applicators should be discarded. These products shouldn't be diluted after opening. Nurses should teach safe-handling techniques to patients who use antiseptics prior to self-injection of medications. The FDA requests that all instances of antiseptic-induced infection be reported to the MedWatch adverse effects reporting program at www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch.
The FDA Drug Safety Communication pertaining to these risks can be found at http://1.usa.gov/1c9WFRY.

So wonderful!
Posted 8/24/2015 by M
I really love this mask. It exfoliates better than any other I have used before. I put it on for five minutes then layer the Eight Greens Phyto Mask on top of it. The next morning my skin is glowing
Great Product!
Posted 5/29/2012 by Paige
I use this about 1 -2 times per week and my skin has less lines and discolorations and is softer to the touch. I have sensitive skin and this product doesn't cause any irritation. Great product!

Posted 3/27/2012 by c.l.
I love this masque. I use it once or twice a week. I have sensitive skin with rosacea. My skin looks calmer and smoother after this masque.I follow with Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer. Eminence skincare is a wonderful line, although somewhat expensive.
Love it!
Posted 5/29/2010 by Samantha
I use this on my face about once a week and I always follow with the Coconut Masque. My skin looks and feels so healthy and radiant when I wash my face. I have sensitive skin and I have trouble using exfoliating products, but this one I love.
wonderful product!!!!

It smells so wonderful and it really helped to smooth away the dull cells on the surface. My skin has instantly became smoother, younger, and so radiant. Forget about Chanel or Sisley, this is the product to keep!
2 in one product

It feels like a soft, creamy, clay masque then a scrub when you wash it off. It has a nice rose smell.

November 1999
A marvelous yet under-recognized pianist from the Bill Evans-Keith Jarrett-Richie Bierach school of introspective lyricism, Arriale unites with bassist Scott Colley and longtime associate Steve Davis for this highly interactive trio session.
The trio's collective daring can be heard on a stunning rendition of the standard "Beautiful Love," which opens with a rubato statement before gradually heading into the swinging theme. Davis plays loose with the time feel, a la Paul Motian, before finally settling on an insistent ride cymbal pulse, allowing the band to take off. Arriale solos assuredly within the melody and Colley, who grounds the trio with strong walking lines, follows with a singing solo of his own. Davis enters the conversation with some melodic statements on the kit. They close on a gentle note with more supple interplay, making a perfect arc from the tune's expressive intro.
The gorgeous Jimmy Van Husen ballad "But Beautiful" is taken at a snail's pace and underscored by Davis' dramatic use of silence, which lends a powerful kind of resonance to his coloristic approach to cymbals. Arriale's playing is particularly rhapsodic in this kind of spacious atmosphere, as she again demonstrates in a poignant take on the traditional children's song "Hush-A-Bye."
The pianist shows a strong Celtic influence on her original "Dance," then dips into a bluesy, relaxed feel on a brilliantly crafted rendition of Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So." Colley again provides a solid foundation with his steady walking lines, allowing pianist and drummer to experiment boldly with time displacement and reharmonization.
Arriale affects an ethereal quality on a tender rendition of "Touch Her Soft Lips And Part" by British classical composer William Walton. And she goes out on an exhilarating note with the Celtic-influenced pedal point number, "The Highlands," which mutates into a burning blues before returning to the surging theme.
With this fifth trio outing, the abundantly talented Arriale should take her rightful place alongside Brad Mehldau, Bill Charlap, Jacky Terrasson and other young pianists as one of the vital new voices on the jazz scene.

Objective: Unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a leading cause of poisoning in the United States. Most poisoning cases occur in residential settings and a working CO alarm may prevent many of these events. The use of a CO alarm is mandated in many parts of the country; however, little is known about the compliance and adoption of such ordinances at the population level. This study determined the prevalence of residential CO alarm and awareness of a 2001 CO alarm ordinance in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in 2009.
Methods: A random sample of households stratified by housing type (eg, single-family homes, multifamily homes) was included in a cross-sectional survey conducted. One adult respondent from each household was administered a questionnaire that included information on sociodemographic and household characteristics, presence of a CO alarm, and CO alarm ordinance awareness. Data were analyzed using multivariate stratified conditional logistic regression.
Results: Among 214 participating households (response rate, 23.4%), 145 (67.8%) reported having a working CO alarm and 79 (36.9%) of the respondents were aware of the CO alarm ordinance. Respondents who were aware of the ordinance had 9 times higher odds (95% confidence interval, 3.3–25.9) of having a CO alarm than those who were unaware. Also, households with an attached garage had more than 2 times higher odds (95% confidence interval, 1.0–6.2) of having a CO alarm than those without an attached garage. Awareness of the CO alarm ordinance was not associated with any sociodemographic (eg, age, sex, race, education, income) or household (eg, home ownership, home construction year) characteristics.
Conclusions: Carbon monoxide alarm prevalence in Mecklenburg County households was higher than the national average and was associated with CO alarm ordinance awareness. Public health efforts might benefit from regulations aimed at population-level adoption of preventive health behaviors.

Oh how I wish the second half of this post's title was "Why I Don't Shop at Forever 21". But I can't write that yet. The earrings I'm wearing right now were purchased from the Christian sweatshop giant. So were my jeans.
I am well aware that Forever 21 and other throw-away fashion dynasties are not paying their workers enough, that cheap labor goes hand in hand with cheap fabrics and poor construction, that they steal their designs from others, and preach with their bright yellow "LOOK AT ME I AM A CONSUMER" plastic bags. And yet, I still find myself wandering in semi-regularly, and often wandering out with some mass-produced somehow already cliché thin-as-a-tissue article of clothing I will only wear a few times before it either rips or bores me because I've seen a version of it on sixteen other girls in one day. My point is, I know better. I'm embarrassed that I do it. I beg them not to bag my purchase and instead surreptitiously stuff it into my purse, which I also purchased at Forever 21.
But then I'll get compliments when I wear these items, which also shames me to no end. I admit my folly in an Eeyore voice with my head hung low, unintentionally advertising for them, which makes me feel even worse. One would think that after all of this remorse, I would have enough self control to stop shopping there. So why do I keep going back?
Well, I'm poor as shit and I want to look cute.
Always the first excuse. I live in Los Angeles. Everything is expensive here, and though some are just fine with riding the bus to the laundromat in sweatpants and holey socks, I am not one of those people.
And I know I could buy used clothing. Thrifting has been in my blood since I was a below the poverty-level 6th grader. But back then, I'd drop $20 for several Grocery Outlet bags full of awesome 70's blouses, flowing maxi skirts, and kooky wooden parrot necklaces. These days, the only "vintage" stuff you can find at Goodwill (at least in LA) is from the mid-90's and almost as expensive as it was when it was new. And sorting through the mounds of stained, synthetic, cargo-pocketed nightmares for that one gem you just know is in there somewhere is exhausting and time consuming.
Excuses, excuses, right? I could make excuses all day. But being broke does not a saint make. Sure, I'm broke. Most of us are. But buying "affordable" new clothes is such a waste of money in the long run. Not only are these purchases physically not going to stand the test of time, Forever 21 and its competitors release so many new collections a year that by the time their cutesy 21 day return policy runs out, your adorable new jacket is already "out of style".
I could also go on a diatribe about how even the name of the company is unsettling, how the focus on eternal-just-of-drinking-age youth is enforcing that "little girl in the form of a woman" stereotype I so despise, dismissing the idea that there is any point to life if you aren't young and attractive, but I don't want to get angry. Again, WHY do we (I) keep going back?
We (I) forget.
It's the first warm, sunny day of spring. You weren't prepared for the weather, since you left home early this morning. Now you're off work, which happens to be right next to the mall. You have a date later and the thought of bare legs on a balmy beachy afternoon with your lover sounds too divine to deny. You could go home to change, but there are at least 150 different brand new dresses in one store 30 feet from you that could be yours right now in exchange for the meager tips in your pocket. And even if thoughts of sweatshop labor and copyright infringement pop in to your head, hey, its only one dress. And three necklaces. And four pairs of tights. There are so many adorable items at your fingertips (that someone else designed first and that were sewn by workers making less than minimum wage)! And this dress is only $19.95! And this is the last time you'll ever shop here. You swear.
Every little bit adds up. And if you're like me and you impulse buy when you have a spare few bucks, you end up with a closet full of mass-produced junk.
If only I put that petty cash away, I could afford to buy quality clothing. I'm not talking about overpriced just-because-its-designer items, but a few well made trend-proof pieces that will last. Jeans, versatile dresses, jackets. Sure, they're a little pricier, but that's because the company who made them thought enough of their employees to pay them a humane wage.
Buy quality staples, and if you're craving seasonal pieces and good deals, don't lazily duck into the mall. Shop like you mean it. Take the day and drive out to estate sales, where all the awesome vintage shit is in pristine condition. Or hit up thrift stores in weird little mountain towns, where they haven't been picked over and the dresses are only six bucks. If you must stay in the city, visit buy-sell-trade places, where everything is still cheaper than at the mall, but the mountains of junk sorting has been done for you and you're still recycling!
I am making a resolution to never buy from Forever 21 again. And if you're reading this, I hope you'll join me. Consider it spring cleaning for your conscience.
Even though the number of ethical reasons for making this stand is out of the ballpark, the main reason I'm making it is that I don't want to be a cookie-cutter American Millennial. In high school, I showed up to school one day in the same shirt as a classmate's and something in me snapped. After that, I prided myself on dressing "different". I came back after winter break wearing layers of my dad's discarded 70's clothes, mixed with weird pieces I made myself before I really knew how to sew. I may have looked bizarre, I may have been acting out, but I was 100% me. My style has since balanced into a neutral heavy, travel inspired, vintagey-modern, subtly feminine mix. I don't have a concept of my style. We've all seen those "what's your personal style?" quizzes that only have like 5 outcomes. Why do I have to be categorized, I wonder? Because then I can be put into a target market and advertised to. Please join me in saying a very ladylike "fuck that".
Don't let anyone tell you what you want to wear. And the next time you find yourself staring in the window of a Forever 21, watching three cloned girls with ombre dye jobs try on the same dress, you can proudly turn your back because you are trend-proof. You are uncategorizable.
I'll leave you with this bit of brilliance:
When I ask for a garment of a particular form, my tailoress tells me gravely, "They do not make them so now," not emphasizing the "They" at all, as if she quoted an authority as impersonal as the Fates, and I find it difficult to get made what I want, simply because she cannot believe that I mean what I say, that I am so rash. When I hear this oracular sentence, I am for a moment absorbed in thought, emphasizing to myself each word separately that I may come at the meaning of it, that I may find out by what degree of consanguinity They are related to me, and what authority They may have in an affair which affects me so nearly; and, finally, I am inclined to answer her with equal mystery, and without any more emphasis of the "They" – "It is true, they did not make them so recently, but they do now."
-Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Now go change into something "weird". If you feel like it.

Cleveland's $200-million Euclid Corridor project has largely delivered on its promise of spurring economic activity along its 8-mile expanse. But there are still pockets of empty, shuttered buildings – what you might call "gaps in the grin" - especially in the stretch from East 12th Street to Public Square. One such gap is well on its way to closing, as ideastream's Brian Bull reports.
Here at the Ameritrust Complex off of East 9th and Euclid, renovation work is underway on a $250-million project.
Geis Companies workers weld beams, pour concrete, and clean the face of the historically significant Ameritrust Tower, designed by famed architect Marcel Breuer.
Geis bought the tower from the county last winter, along with the Cleveland Trust Rotunda and two other properties that make up the complex. The tower will become a high-end hotel, while a new county headquarters will open at East 9th and Prospect next summer.
And Heinen's will open a 32,000 sq.ft. two-story grocery store in the Rotunda.
"You've really have the dynamics to create an exciting residential and commercial district, right at the heart of 9th and Euclid," says Joe Marinucci is President of the Downtown Cleveland Alliance.
He says in addition to the 700 county employees coming to the heart of downtown Cleveland, there will be an influx of tourists and visitors.
"If you look across street from the Rotunda Building, there's a new Kimpton Hotel. In addition there will be about 55 Hyatt apartments associated with that project," says Marinucci. "Catty corner across the street on the north side of Euclid, there is a Le Meridien Hotel which is going into five vacant storefront buildings between the Statler and the 925 Euclid Building.
"So in many ways, this is really going to become the hospitality nexus of downtown."
Marinucci adds another developer is trying to work out financing for a mixed-use project where the Cleveland Athletic Club now sits. The hope is that these developments will fill in the economic gaps in this hardscrabble patch of the Euclid Corridor.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

ABSTRACT: The use of digital images is a prevalent practice in today's society, especially in social media. Photovoice is a qualitative research methodology used to express the experiences of participants from a variety of populations. Photovoice can be utilized as a teaching and learning tool to facilitate cultural competence among undergraduate nursing students.
The growing phenomenon of personal expression through digital images is clearly seen in social media. A brief look at Facebook or YouTube reveals massive amounts of creative and expressive imagery. Image sharing in social media is so prevalent that nurse educators frequently warn nursing students of the hazards of using this technology in the clinical setting and breaking confidentiality and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) security rules. Although these concerns are warranted, digital photography can be utilized as a teaching and learning tool to assess student perceptions about a concept or an assigned population. In fact, today's undergraduate nursing student is so adept with the use of digital photography on cell phones and in social media that use of images is an excellent fit for the current generation of students.
Although individuals typically take pictures to capture and share a single moment, the study of a collection of photos from an era, culture, or population can be used to glean rich knowledge about societal issues and human behavior (Crandall & Snavely, 2012). Integrating concepts from photovoice research methodology into the classroom can be an innovative method for the facilitation of culturally competent care.
Photovoice is a method that uses pictures or videos to identify themes and illustrate the needs of a given population, typically one that has been suppressed or marginalized (University of Kansas, 2013). Originated by Wang and Burris (1994) as a community-based participatory research methodology, photovoice has been utilized to illuminate disparities within a community and can be used as an impetus for change. The acronym "voice" in photovoice stands for "voicing our individual and collective experience" (University of Massachusetts, 2011, para 3). Participants using this methodology become co-researchers while making decisions about the direction of the project (Palibroda, Krieg, Murdock, & Havelock, 2009). They are given cameras and asked to take photographs or video of their daily experiences. Participants then attach meaning to their photos by describing what they felt about each photo or what it signifies. Photographs may be literal or abstract, but each is an individual expression used to deliver a message to others. Participants then meet in several focus group sessions, facilitated by the researcher, where they identify and discuss common themes among their photos. Through this qualitative research process, the participants often become empowered as a group to facilitate change among their communities (Palibroda et al., 2009).
For example, a women's health center in Canada conducted a photovoice study with young Aboriginal women living in urban areas. As a group, the women identified themes through photography and "explored issues of violence, racism, poverty, education, and substance abuse" (Palibroda, 2009, p. 24). In addition, the group discussed innovative solutions and examined the role in which local and political policy could create change to improve their lives and the lives of others. Participants were able to present their findings at a national expo to garner attention for their cause.
Although common themes are identified, differences within a population or community also are highlighted in photovoice studies. Cooper and Yarbrough (2010) used photovoice methodology to study perceptions on health issues of birth attendants working in rural Guatemala. Through their focus group meetings they were able to identify differences in perceptions between older and younger participants. Older participants defined illness in concrete, isolated terms such as "diarrhea or headaches" (p. 648) whereas younger participants were more likely to link these events to a cause such as contaminated water (Cooper & Yarbrough, 2010). Summarizing, photovoice is recommended as a research tool for elucidating hard to describe concepts or experiences or hidden feelings and ideas through poignant images.
Incorporating cultural competence into a nursing curriculum involves a multifaceted approach. According to Campinha-Bacote (2009), obtaining a cultural desire and awareness is among the first steps to becoming culturally competent. Concepts from photovoice methodology can be used to promote cultural desire and assess perceptions of cultural awareness among nursing students about a specific population.
To illustrate how photovoice can develop cultural awareness, undergraduate BSN nursing students who were enrolled in a geriatric nursing class were asked to submit a single photograph of their perception of a challenge or a reward experienced by an elderly person. They also were given the choice to submit a photograph of a support system utilized by the elderly. To encourage abstract critical thinking and avoid HIPAA or other privacy violations, students were asked not to include any photographs of actual people when completing the assignment. The photograph was due on the first day of class to help provide a baseline of student perceptions. Students were told to include a one-sentence description of the challenge, reward, or support depicted in their photograph. The photographs were submitted by email and compiled into a PowerPoint presentation by the instructor. Pictures were grouped according to the assigned categories and a variety of interesting and diverse themes emerged. The most prevalent theme elucidated was challenges related to mobility. Students submitted pictures of wheelchairs, handicap signs, stairs with or without handrails, throw rugs, and other safety hazards. One student submitted a picture of her car, explaining in the caption that over the Christmas holiday, she visited her grandfather who was unable to ride in her car because it was too low to the ground and caused him knee pain when getting in and out. Another prevalent theme was photos submitted of computers and other technology. The students perceived technology to be a challenge for the elderly. Examples of themes depicting rewards included pictures of calendars signifying more leisure time and illustrations of baby clothes with captions related to enjoying grandchildren.
Interestingly, all themes related to rewards were more passive in nature than active. Only 2 out of 44 students submitted images depicting support systems for the elderly, which included pictures of senior citizen centers. Eliopoulos (2010) explained educating older adults on available resources and community support systems is an integral part of the role of the gerontological nurse. Advocating for support systems for the elderly also is an example of adherence to God's Word as stated to, "Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD" (Leviticus 19:32, NIV).
The lack of photo submissions of support systems allowed the instructor to tweak the objectives to emphasize available resources for which the nurse could advocate when caring for the elderly population. The photographs also provided insight into how the majority of the class perceived the elderly. The majority of photographs represented challenges, which was consistent with the students' experiences of caring for the elderly population in the clinical setting and revealed their limited experience with healthy older adults. Gallagher and Carey (2012) also found nursing student perceptions about the elderly were formed from their clinical experiences and were more commonly associated with challenges, such as illness. This knowledge allowed the instructor to emphasize points throughout the course related to healthy aging.
Although photovoice methodology is a qualitative research method, it can be utilized as an innovative tool to assess cultural awareness and weave concepts about a population into the classroom. A sample of images and comments submitted by students is available online as Supplement Digital Content 1 at http://links.lww.com/NCF-JCN/A21, and a podcast interview with a student about how photovoice impacted them is available as Supplemental Digital Content 2 at http://links.lww.com/NCF-JCN/A22.
When eliciting pictures from students about a population or topic, the instructor should be specific about the objectives. Photographs of individuals or clinical sites should be prohibited unless university approved consent to photograph and publish is obtained. Additionally, students should be warned against copyright infringement and encouraged to only submit their own unique work. Although many students will submit pictures illustrating literal concepts, the most interesting photos often are abstract. The use of photography can enhance critical thinking and stimulate questions about social behavior (Schell, Ferguson, Hamoline, Shea, & Thomas-Maclean, 2009). When the interpretation of the photos involves critical thinking, it will stimulate the most thought-provoking conversations among the students. Whether used to assess student perceptions at the beginning of a course or to evaluate learning at the end of the semester, photography is a relevant tool for incorporating cultural competence into the classroom.
Photography was not available in ancient times but Jesus used vivid visual imagery to help his listeners understand themselves and abstract concepts. He spoke of the birds of the air and hairs on our head to illustrate God's individualized watchful care of his people (Matthew 10:29-31). A lost coin, lost sheep, or a bereaved father longing for his wayward son (Luke 15) demonstrate God's desire to find each of us. A man encountering an enemy needing help illustrates how God asks us to help others (Luke 10). Christ's images were worth a thousand words as he uncovered people's hearts. Nurse educators today can use photovoice to discover hidden concepts and thoughts and feelings of students, helping them begin to understand and desire cultural competence.

The contents of each of the subtest chapters contain the same materials as in the individual workbooks with the corresponding title.
The ERB test score is only one input into the admission process, but it is one of the fastest and easiest ways to eliminate applications when there is an abundance of demand and a limited number of spots. An ERB score can affect your childs chances of admission to the school of your choice. Despite popular myth, the ERB is NOT purely an innate intelligence test. You can prepare for it. The ERB is an admissions test and more than 50% of the test measures learned material and concepts. The reality is that in areas where there is competition for school placement very few children take the test completely unprepared. Many children are "prepped" for the ERB test by specific pre-school curricula and activities.
As featured in the New York Times and New York magazine, Aristotle Circle developed this workbook to help level the playing field. To create the insiders' guide to the ERB, they worked with child education, testing and development experts including school and child psychologists, developmental and occupational therapists, admission directors, and teachers. In the workbook, they demystify the test and debunk common misconceptions about what the test is, how it is administered, what is actually being tested, and how to best prepare. Additionally, they break down the test into its components and include exercises and activities that focus exclusively on the concepts that are tested.
Parents may choose to use the Complete Pre-K and Kindergarten ERB/WPPSI-III Practice Workbook as a hands-on tool or merely as an inspirational guide. For the serious it is an excellent companion to many of the other titles we sell which teach the skills tested.

Reflections from OLIN's Interns
OLIN's 2012 interns possessed a remarkable level of creative talent and with enthusiasm, they brought fresh perspectives to the studio. OLIN's ten-week internship program is built upon the studio's legacy of teaching and mentorship and is designed to foster interns' professional development as they work to fulfill their career goals.
Below are some thoughts from this year's interns on their experience working with OLIN's studio.
Dana Williamson / Purdue University, 2013
"Now wrapping up my second month of my one year internship with OLIN, I can see how much of a teaching environment I have been lucky enough to find myself in. I'm learning to do things quicker and more accurate, something that benefits everyone. I feel part of a team and I can submerge myself in the work. The work is real, which also makes it more meaningful for a student. This experience has already taught me a great deal, and will no doubt affect my career, as well as view on landscape architecture. To be surrounded by such a rich array of minds and resources is a great opportunity and so I am looking forward to what else I will learn, as well as contribute to, during the rest of my time here at OLIN."
Agnes Ladjevardi / The University of Pennsylvania, 2013
"Being an intern at OLIN has given me insight into how great it is to work in a collaborative design environment. Designing is a team effort, and it is also an expression of singular experiences. Charrettes at OLIN were particularly enriching moments of my internship in which disparate voices and ideas came together around a unifying vision that held ideas of environmental performance and civic responsibility at its core."
Joshua Welsh / University of British Columbia, 2012
"At OLIN, I have been given the opportunity to work on several real-life projects, which responsibly question traditional land use patterns here in the United States, including: capping a highway to create parkland where there once was polluted airspace; building a public orchard and allotment gardens into the heart of a plan for a new brownfield site community; capturing 100% of rainwater on the site of a school burdened by the urban condition and transforming it into an amenity and teaching opportunity. Soon I will return to the University of British Columbia to complete my master's degree with a reenergized hope that such necessary and noble projects are happening all around us. The trend needs to increase, but I am inspired to know there is momentum."
Kate Hayes / University of Virginia, 2013
"Coming from the University of Virginia, where the graduate landscape architecture program focuses on sustainable design and encourages the study of natural systems, I was anxious to learn how green infrastructure is applied in professional practice. Working directly with the Philadelphia Water Department, Steve Benz, OLIN's Partner and Director of Green Infrastructure, and our client, I learned the value of building a convincing story. We used this process of narrative as a strategy to frame green infrastructure goals around the needs and desires of relevant stakeholders, and then implemented these goals through our design. The performance and aesthetic aspects of design should bear equal weight in landscape architecture. Aesthetically pleasing design has the opportunity to enhance these performative flows and help make green infrastructure and its processes visible to the public, but the narrative is essential to the process."
Jerome McLeod / Temple University, 2014
"My experience as an intern with OLIN's Marketing Department has enriched my education in multiple dimensions, with considerations in strategy, process, and appreciation for design. Knowing the artistry that's involved with much of design, it can be hard to distinguish actual craft when it serves successful in its purpose. I find this especially true when design is experienced intuitively as it responds to our insensible needs. For this reason, it can be hard for some to appreciate the intention that goes into the process of OLIN's mission to create places that enhance life. This is where I have found OLIN's Marketing Department—and much of marketing inside design—to successfully interact, translate, and fulfill the purpose of craft to parties who would otherwise not recognize this."
