WTF Friday! Red Hot Tears Edition
Heads up! Eva Longoria is single again! Good news for all you single high-powered attorneys out there!
Because he was so great in Daredevil, Ben Affleck is your new Batman!
And now you know all the government approved news for the week. Everything else is fine and being handled with the greatest integrity and transparency. You can go about your business now and have a happy weekend! Remember, they hate us for our freedoms not for our war crimes!
Have you ever read China's domestic news? It's almost exactly like this, and this is what we're on the road to becoming. Orwell once said, "Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations." With scant few exceptions public relations is all we get.
For the past weeks our Washington establishment has been desperately trying to convince the American people that the NSA spying program isn't a precursor to a police state and that we have nothing to fear. To prove this they engaged in intimidation tactics against the lover of a prominent journalist and smashed the harddrives of a major newspaper. Oh I know, these incidents happened in (not so) Great Britain but they occurred (at least) with the silent approval of our government.
It's really pretty sick what's happening.
The NSA is engaged in extraconstitutional activities that violate the 4th Amendement, and now to hide those abuses they are targeting journalists and in doing so violating the 1st Amendment. And the walls fell down.
Acting thugishly towards whistleblowers and journalists is not a good way to prove that you have good intentions with your omnipotent spying powers.
The lower swines of make-believe journalism are really showing their true colors too. Jeffery Toobin of CNN compared Greenwald's hunky partner David to a "drug mule". Right! Exactly the same, except computers are not drugs and journalism is not a crime. Even worse, unpicked flower and salivating lapdog journalist Michael Grunwald tweeted out that he can't wait to write the defense of the drone strike that takes out Julian Assange. There is nothing wrong with this sociopath that couldn't be resolved with a lobotomy and a feeding tube. In truth the lapdogs are as frighted by watchdog journalists as the political establishment is. What if the real journalists keep it up and people start to realize that all they do is feed us crap?
Meanwhile I have to give a Godwhacker hat tip to journalist Glenn Greenwald for calling out these despicable tactics for what they are and for refusing to be bullied. Truly, the man has balls the size of gas giants. And to Chelsea Manning for standing up for what's right, taking it like a man, and being the real lady that she is.
When our free society is saved will anyone remember that it was the gays who did the heavy lifting? R.I.P. Alan Turing.
So in addition to writing this post I'm also contacting my elected officials to let them know that I have lost faith with the NSA and I deplore these thuggish tactics. I encourage everyone else so troubled to do the same. Maybe that will make a difference.
Otherwise all I can do is cry Red Hot Tears. Happy weedkend all, Godwhacker out.

Great post! Lobotomies and feeding tubes for everyone!ReplyDelete
GW a little heavy for a Friday but I understand the consternation.ReplyDelete
If it makes you feel any better David Gregory was on Morning Joe this morning and explained what MLK was really all about when he appeared on MTP on the eve of the March on Washington, when the city cleared and the DC establishment was expecting a full-scale "negro" riot.
See, I knew that would make you feel better.

Don't get your panties (literally speaking) in an uproar. Doubt the NSA really cares about your status of your order for the latest sex toy on the market. Just go on about your business and don't blow up an buildings and you will be just fine.ReplyDelete

The TX-L26X10's pictures aren't completely immune to its relatively 'entry-level' status in Panasonic's range, though. As I suggested earlier, while black levels are good by 26in standards, they're only 'solid' compared with the lovely deep, rich blackness now being achieved by numerous larger LCD screens.
If viewed from an angle, this set's pictures lose contrast and colour more readily than those of Panasonic's larger, higher-spec screens, too, and I occasionally spotted signs of shimmering interference over patches of fine detail.
Finally, pictures just don't look quite as dynamic and three-dimensional as those you might find on a TV with more video processing at its disposal. But really, some of these complaints are a bit unfair. After all, there ultimately isn't much point making too many comparisons with TVs of a bigger size when people looking at buying a Panasonic TX-L26X10 will probably have already zoomed in on 26in as the size of TV they're after.
After struggling to find fair negatives to talk about with the TX-L26X10's pictures, I'm pleased to say that it's a more than credible audio performer, too. Its diminutive and, if truth be told, slightly plasticky bodywork doesn't look capable of 'shifting much air', as hi-fi folk like to put it. But in fact the set produces a strikingly expansive mid-range that allows the TV to kick up a gear when required by a healthy action scene, while also portraying plenty of treble detail without it ever becoming seriously harsh. It even has a stab at delivering a bit of low-end audio information, though this can distort a fraction when the going gets tough.
If we could judge the Panasonic Viera TX-L26X10 on performance alone, it would be nudging pretty close to bagging a TrustedReviews Recommended award. Its pictures are certainly among the very best we've seen from a 26in TV.
But in tallying up the TV's final marks we just couldn't ignore the fact that at £499, the TX-L26X10 really isn't particularly cheap considering that it's pretty much Panasonic's entry-level 26in TV. By comparison, the Toshiba 26AV505DB we mentioned in the review, while undoubtedly inferior, can be had for under £300. And even Panasonic's own new entry-level 37in plasma TV, the TX-P37X10, only costs around £60 or so more if you know where to look. But still, if 26in is the size for you, and you're willing to pay a bit more for a genuinely premium performance, then the Panasonic Viera TX-L26X10 should fit the bill nicely.

This Weekend Is The Most Romantic Weekend of the Year
Photo: flickr
Birth rates in the U.S. have fallen to the lowest number on record.... America's birth rate declined 8 percent from 2007 to 2010, and now stands at 63.2 births per 1,000 women who are of childbearing age. That's the lowest number recorded since 1920 when reliable statistics were first kept.
So basically we need another "Baby Boom". Experts vots that all women read 50 Shades of Grey, I think we should just play more of the kind of songs that put you in the mood.
Next Tuesday is the most FERTILE day of the year.
They looked at birth records, and found that September 16th is the most-common birthday . . . and most of the babies born on that day were conceived 40 weeks earlier. That's December 11th . . . which is next Tuesday.
Experts said that one reason why December 11th is such a fertile day is because people are just more festive in mid-December. The other possible reason is that the quality of man-seed is supposedly higher in colder weather. Who knew?
Happy baby making!

"After Christ, the temple was no longer needed."<quoted text>
You love to dwell on the old, and forget the teachings of the new. Christ was the temple of the New Testament. Why? because he paid the price for the sins of the world. The temple from the beginning was build as a place where people paid their price for sin once a year with animal sacrifices. It was a temporary payment to God until Christ arrived and paid the full price. After Christ, the temple was no longer needed. When we accept Christ, we accept Christ dwelling within us through the Holy Spirit. The Christian is the temple of God, that is what Act 17v24 is telling us.
God told you that huh? Can you give me the verse(s) where God or Jesus said temples for God commanded by God to be made for him are never to be made/used again after Jesus leaves the earth?

Overheard in the hallway
"How are you going to have sex with a carny if you won't go to the carnival?"
Comments (9)
Craig's List.
There's always Carney Lansford…or Carnie Wilson…
1. You catch her on a good day. Usually it is her one day off.
2. Treat the moment as if it is a one night stand.
3. Forget her name.
4. When she calls you where you work and invites you over for dinner try to beg off, which will do you no good. Fatally you will want that sweet thing again.
5. At this point understand you are no longer in control of your life.
6. You will become a junky to a carny's way of perceiving things through her carnival light eyes even on her days off.
7. She will want you to make her respectable and fight you every step of the way.
8. She will want you to die for her in Alvira Madigan fashion, the classic carny girl.
9. If you are lucky enough to survive the scene you will never forget her face, her dreams. You will be marked.
10. With the stalking get that the love intent is also murderous, as love often is in Menead fashion.
Bon chance at the carnival.
For the record, for what it's worth, the speaker and her interlocutor were both women, approximately 18-24 years of age.
11. I forgot that the carny never loves the lover as much as she loves the carnival. It amounts to an addiction.
Thanks for this Joel B.
The only carnie I knew personally said: "There are only two types of people. Carnies and marks."

Okotberfest jetzt at Heritage Park
September 23, 2012
With the odor of sauerkraut and sounds of oompa music wafting through the air in Gardnerville, Carson Valley Sertoma's annual Oktoberfest is under way.
Starting at noon, the event will continue through 4 p.m. and attract as many as 500 people.
Oktoberfest 2012 will feature the Gruber Family Band, a family that grew up together with the German polka, whom Sertoma have used at Oktoberfest for years.
To eat, there is plain and spicy German bratwurst from the Sausage Factory, handmade sauerkraut, German potato salad, pretzels and mustard and apple strudel.
The food is largely provided by local Dutch resident Garry Den Heyer, who was instrumental in the opening of the Carson Valley Swim Center.
A variety of specialty beers will be available including Oktoberfest brews. The music and dancing starts at noon and continues until 4:30 p.m. There is no admission charge.
The Carson Valley Community Food Closet, family support council and China Spring are a few of the many community programs that Sertoma supports.
Sertoma also gives out at least five scholarships each year to Douglas High graduates.

|Behind Scenes
Skipper Skip-king is the leader of a band of penguins bent on a secret agenda of escaping the confines of the zoo and being free in Antarctica. He is the second shortest and chubbiest of the group (Only Private is shorter and chubbier) and he has ice blue eyes. It is probable that Skipper and the rest of his squad are warm climate penguins, for they do not live in an air-conditioned habitat. This is supported in one episode, where the city was having one of the coldest days ever, and the penguins used heat lamps to warm up their habitat, and also in the movie where the penguins aren't bothered by the warmth of Africa and Madagascar, but intensely dislike Antarctica. He is the only penguin that remembers the penguins credo Never swim alone (A Christmas Caper). His men remembered that when Skipper went alone. (Crown Fools) The only penguin who can get him to do anything is Private. (Night and Dazed)
Early Life
Not much is known about Skipper's early life, but we do know from their movie how he met Private and how Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico adopted him as their younger brother, A fourth member to their team. He has revealed that - due to as-yet-unspecified circumstances involving explosions, a high-speed chase and Hans the Puffin - he is unable to set foot in Denmark after being declared Public Enemy Number One by Queen Margrethe II. In the Episode "Skipper Makes Perfect" it is revealed that the incident had something to do with open faced Sandwiches.
Skipper also mentions, in the episode Mr. Tux, that he once woke up in Kyoto hotel room on a bed of counterfeit Deutschmarks. This must have been many years ago because Deutschmarks are no longer in use.
Another of Skipper's enigmas is the two former penguin agents Manfredi and Johnson. Skipper has mentioned them on many occasions. They died under unknown circumstances (but is later found out in The Penguin Who Loved Me that the two aren't really dead, but trapped at Sea Vill). The only reason for this is that Skipper changes the reason every time he talks about them. He is also arch-enemies with the mad dolphin super villain Doctor Blowhole, although the circumstances under which they formed this enmity are unknown.
We don't know how all of this came into play, or where his brothers were during it.
Also, we see what Skipper looked like as a baby, in the episode Rock A Bye Birdie .
In Littlefoot, we find out that Skipper was in Mexico for 8 years learning how to play a Spanish guitar.
Skipper's age is unknown, but his sometimes old fashioned sexism and resentment towards counterculture hippies suggests that he is the oldest of the four penguins.
at some unspecified point Skipper and his team were in Cuba
Later Years
It is unknown how he got to the Zoo in the first place.
Life with other penguins
As his second in command, Kowalski is a respected penguin, but because of Kowalski's crazy murdering inventions, Skipper has his suspicions about anything Kowalski makes, but still tries to treat him equally and knows that he is a important member of their brotherhood and team.
Rico has the third rank, and despite being lower than Kowalski. Rico and Skipper seem to have a close relationship,(probably because they share a love of violence). Rico and Skipper have a best friend relationship, as Skipper is the older brother that makes sure the younger does not get in trouble (Skipper makes sure that Rico does not harm innocent people).Rico is the best in combat in the group and the second most emotional after Private. However, in the episode "Needle Point", Skipper shows the ability to take him down, along with Private and Kowalski singlehandedly, demonstrating that he may be inferior to the leader.
Private and Skipper seem to have the closest relationship out of all the penguins. They have best brother relationship as well. Skipper helps Private become more and more experienced as he thinks of Private as naive and gulliable so Private would die more easily than the others. Ever since, Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico had decided to adopt Private as their little brother, Skipper treated Private differently, because he was a little bit younger then him and the others. But Skipper learns that Privates is a important member too. In the series, sometimes, apparently they have a kind father-son relationship.
Madagascar (film)
As leader, Skipper was the mastermind behind a plot to escape the confines of the zoo and leave for Antarctica with three other penguins as his accomplices. As it were, Skipper and his troupe of penguins dug and dug under their enclosure until they reached the enclosure of Marty the zebra, thinking it to be the South Pole. Skipper explained to Marty that they would escape the zoo on the grounds that penguins don't belong in captivity and with that, ordered his accomplices to continue tunneling. Late that night, Skipper and the other penguins were caught by a SWAT team, as were six other animals also found outside the zoo. The penguins were tranquilized and put into a crate to be transferred.
After they had reawakened, Kowalski was confused at the lettering on the crate where they were held and ordered a nearby chimpanzee named Mason to read it, with Mason's companion Phil reading it: they were all bound for a wildlife preserve in Africa (African habitat is not for penguins, but some think that Africa was simply the first stop, and Antarctica was going to be a later stop, while others think it was simply confusion). Skipper ordered Rico, another penguin to pick the lock on the crate where they were held, whereupon the four penguins knocked out the crew and took command of the ship, commandeering it to reach Antarctica. Skipper and his mates finally reached Antarctica and were sorely disappointed by the barren, desolate terrain.
Skipper had the ship return quickly from the South Pole where it crashed into the beaches of Madagascar and a much warmer climate. Upon arriving, he and the other three encountered Gloria and Melman, and saw that Alex and Marty (known as their "monochromatic friend") were gone. Skipper decided to help rescue Marty from the grim fate of being eaten by the native fossa. (Possibly as gratitude for his silence regarding the escape.) It was Skipper who helped to distract the fossa while Marty was recovered and then helped fight off a number of them.
Skipper noticed later on that Alex was still hungry, not being able to eat steak, and had Rico prepare fresh slices of fish in the form of sushi for Alex. Skipper then relinquished control of the ship to Alex, as he no longer needed it (it being out of fuel), and proceeded to sunbathe on the tropical beaches in comfort. Skipper was asked by Private, one of his accomplices, if they should tell Alex and his friends that the ship was out of gas. Skipper declined, telling his troup to "Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave."
In the sequel, Skipper leads the penguins in repairing a crashed air plane with parts of the ship and Kowalski's ingenuity and then fixing the plane when it crashes at Africa with the help of "more thumbs" (Mason and Phil recruited more chimps to help out). At the end of the movie, he marries a bobble head doll. Then the penguins and the chimps fly off in the newly-fixed plane - re-engineered as a military helicopter - with the diamonds and gold the animals found while looking for water, headed for Monte Carlo on Skipper's honeymoon, promising that they'll be back when the money runs out. But his wife has probably died or something has happened, as Skipper now does not care for her as Rico cares for Ms Perky.
In the third movie, it is revealed that Skipper, his younger brothers, and a group of chimpanzees were still in the Monte Carlo casino. With one of the chimpanzees dressed as the "King of Versailles", they were able to amass a fortune of jewels, diamonds and gold and were planning to buy an aircraft to pick up the "hippies" (Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman) in Africa and return to New York. However, things change when Alex and the others rush to Monte Casino, believing that the penguins abandoned them. Skipper would later use the fortune to help the gang, and with themselves also, get to a travelling circus.
Pengiuns of Madagascar (Film)
The Penguins of Madagascar (Series)
- Needle Point: Skipper started to panic when a visit to the vet revealed that the penguins were getting an injection. A frightened Skipper ran off, but was convinced to come back when Private was taking Skipper's place. Learning that the shot would make him sick (or worse) ( the worse part must mean that Private will die) , Skipper reluctantly takes it.
- I Was a Penguin Zombie: After Skipper breaks his wing, the vet applies a topical cream to ease his pain. The cream has a slight sedation side effect, and this makes Skipper a bit loopy. As he escapes, a movie is played, and this makes Kowalski , Private , and Rico , believe that Skipper became a zombie. Skipper manages to come back to his senses, but the remaining three still don't believe him, and all end up breaking their wings from a fall.
- Out of the Groove: King Julien 's antics result in Julien getting his groove stolen. Desperate for help, Julien seeks the assistance of the penguins to get his groove back. But when fighting over the jar that contains his groove, it breaks and enters Skipper's body, and he starts dancing (even doing the moonwalk). The baboons will only help if King Julien apologizes, but given his stubbornness he still refuses to apologize. Skipper has to make Julien apologize by dancing all over him, surprising the rest of the penguins and lemurs speechless to the point where Private says that he wants to cry (this is significant, since penguins don't cry) because Skipper's dancing is so perfect, yet strange. The King 's groove is later returned, and Skipper is left to wonder what made him dance until Private thinks he has a little dancer inside him. Skipper says, "Magic's real. Case closed."
- Miss Understanding: A small malfunction during a DNA test causes Skipper to believe he's a girl. After failed missions, Skipper then leaves the penguin's habitat to go visit Marlene and see what it's like being a girl. Marlene is very annoyed because of Skipper's small-minded attitude to what being a female is about - and especially because he hasn't changed at all, but thinks that just because he is a female he is no longer any good at being a commando. She takes Skipper to see the lemurs and save them from the wires. Then Rico , Kowalski , and Private show up to save the lemurs, but end up getting stuck too. Skipper, believing that he is a girl, decides that the mission is not ladylike enough. Eventually, Skipper decides to take off his pink bow and makes an impromptu whip/dance ribbon. After that, the penguins take Skipper to do the test again and find a broken fuse. After they replace the fuse, the machine draws a vertical line through the minus sign, completing the plus mark and proving that Skipper is a boy. Foolishly, Kowalski gave the machine an optional beak-shiner, thus hogging more power. Marlene then becomes sad, hoping Skipper could be her friend. Skipper then put a flipper around her, talking about Alice "Well she's a mammal, everyone knows they're all morons" and Marlene gives him a nasty look and is insulted.
Skipper is a hardened commando-type, and the leader of the squad of penguins. He often acts like a 'Nam veteran with regards to some kind of Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder, especially with regards to his raving paranoia (which even the other penguins sometimes consider as being over-the-top) and conflicting stories of past events. He believes that a friend is just an enemy who hasn't attacked you yet. Thanks to his training in commando skills, he seems to have absolutely no idea of how to act like a real penguin, with Private having to give him advice when he's under close observation by humans.
Skipper is very suspicious, and usually mistrusts those whom the other penguins have all fallen for. He is often proven correct. He can sometimes be a bit cold and often does things only because the other penguins, especially Private, want him to.
Of the four penguins, Skipper is the best at hand-to-hand combat, generally able to take down even their surprise attacks. However he has a tendency to overestimate his own abilities, taking on opponents many times his own size, and continuing the attack even when it's shown to be totally ineffective. He claims to not know the meaning of the word 'surrender' and always has trouble admitting fear of anything.
Skipper cannot stand hippies, as seen in Night and Dazed, It's About Time and Hello, Dollface, and would very much like to either beat them up or make them get jobs. He also has Trypanophobia (Fear of needles) as shown in Needle Point and Love Hurts. In King Me he wasn't able to knit because of this fear.
He's a 50's style male chauvinist, believing women are weak and need protecting. He's also rather xenophobic, with the opinion that any species other than avian (especially mammals) is inferior. All of this ties in with his raving paranoia, and the other penguins don't always back him up on these points. It has also been stated that he has a fragile ego. In Madgascar 3 Skipper buys dentures and gets them sprayed gold and eats an apple but realizes he hates the taste of apples meaning that penguins dont like apples.
- He falls for a falcon named Kitka in The Falcon and the Snow Job, but the relationship failed.
- Skipper also seems to be very protective of Marlene, probably just because she's a girl. He thinks she's smart and doesn't call her nicknames, even when he considers mammals as inferior.
- In The Otter Woman he falls for Marlene mistaking her for an arctic mink named "Arlene".
- He was in love with a cute bobble-head hula doll in Madagascar 2 which he "married" at the end of the movie. She returned in Madly Madagascar
- In Skipper Makes Perfect he mentions in a flashback, that he met a perfect girl in a perfect day, but after the perfect day he lost her phone number.
Taken from IMDB
Skipper is the official leader of the Penguin Commandos. While his rank is never given (in fact the only Penguin with a rank is the eponymous Private), it may be assumed from the word 'skipper' that he carries the rank of Captain. He is quick-thinking and unflappable under pressure, and always knows exactly what to do and how best to deploy his troops (uttering the line 'Private probably won't survive' in the movie may be viewed as insensitive, but this conflicts with his fiercely protective behavior and use of the credo 'never swim alone' in the Christmas caper, and is most likely due to the application of professional judgment.) Skipper is also skilled in close combat, and speaks fluent German.
Taken from NICK
Skipper has the heart of an action hero and the swagger to match. He's a natural leader with a single-minded focus on results. Skipper approaches every situation with intensity, which may explain his overly active imagination. To Skipper, every innocent coincidence appears to be a nefarious conspiracy. It's a good thing that he's 100% confident that only his team is capable of finding the truth!

Exclusive IMAX Print By Artist Sergio Grisanti For Pacific Rim
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.06.25
The Fanfix Poster Series will continue through IMAX with an exclusive print by artist Sergio Grisanti for Pacific Rim.
I am thrilled to introduce Sergio Grisanti to the world, director Guillermo Del Toro said in a statement. For years he has been a highly respected commercial artist. When I was first exposed to his art for Pacific Rim, I knew instantly that he was a powerhouse of talent. He created the Jaeger posters/card art we used at WonderCon. Without any hesitation I asked him to create this new Imax Fanfix art. Look at it closely with a magnifying glass! So much going on! Such power! Such beauty! Sergio loves his Kaijus and his Mecha, and it shows. The poster, like my film, is a tribute to well-loved things. I wish all the fans the best time at the first Imax screenings of Pacific Rim. Enjoy!
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanitys resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroesa washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankinds last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Oscar nominee Guillermo del Toro is directing Pacific Rim from a script by Travis Beacham. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Mary Parent are producing, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.
The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day , and Ron Perlman. The ensemble cast also includes Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke.
Del Toros behind-the-scenes team includes Academy Award®-winning director of photography Guillermo Navarro, production designer Andrew Neskoromny, editor Peter Amundson, and costume designer Kate Hawley.
Slated for 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on July 12, Pacific Rim is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures. The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Hudson -- More than a month after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the east coast and brought damaging winds and torrential rains which carved a path of destruction reaching as far inland as Ohio, hundreds are still without power, homes or the hope of a happy holiday.
A group of Hudson High School students and teachers have joined with the Hudson Music Association members and are hoping their Dec. 18 benefit concert and silent auction will help make a dent in what is still needed in the storm-devastated areas.
The Music Association's benefit concert will be Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. There will be performances by the orchestra and band.
The fundraiser has been dubbed Donations Offering Victims Escape from Sandy, or DOVES.
Tickets are $10 at the door, and pre-sale tickets are $8 to Hudson High School students when purchased during lunch hours.
The goal is to raise $1,500 for Hurricane Sandy victims, according to Margaret Jia, a 15-year-old sophomore who helped organized the event.
"I've registered our fundraiser with Direct Relief International," Margaret said.
"We will directly donate our funds, which are just monetary, to the organization, which distributes over 99 percent of its collected funds to people especially hit by natural disasters," she said. "Their main recipient is currently the victims of Hurricane Sandy."
Margaret found the organization under a list of those helping collect funds for the hurricane relief effort, she said. Margaret has been working with three friends at school to help put the fundraiser together.
Margaret and her friends approached Amy Foulkes, the high school choir and drama director at the school, for direction and assistance. Foulkes will be featured during the concert.
"I felt that it was a tremendous undertaking for the students and I wanted to support them in any way I could to host a positive, benevolent activity," Foulkes said.
The concert will feature Foulkes, high school music teacher Roberto Iriarte, a variety of students and "some guests we've invited from other schools and music groups" in solo and ensemble performances, Margaret said.
The Music Association will also have a silent auction beginning Dec. 17, and running the whole week in the high school media center.
"Items have been donated from students and staff, as well as some local businesses downtown," Margaret said.
The auction is during school hours and is only open to high school students and staff members.
Hurricane Sandy is not Margaret's first time helping others less fortunate. She has been helping to sew quilts at the Viking Sewing Gallery inside Jo-Ann Fabrics for more than a year.
"These quilts go to people who have been affected by natural disasters, so I've been aware of the destruction that victims face," Margaret said. "Here in Hudson, we all have warm homes to stay in for the holiday season, and all the devastation that the Sandy victims went through damaged their homes and changed how they are living now."
Margaret hopes her hobby will also help those in need. Margaret has been working with members of the high school knitting and sewing clubs to donate hats and quilts to Hurricane Sandy victims.
"Viking Mission Quilts has promised that the hats that the knitting club will knit, and the quilt tops the sewing club will sew, will be shipped to Sandy victims," Margaret said.
Foulkes is impressed with Margaret and others involved in the fundraiser.
"I am proud when our community embraces a drive to help others with unconditional love," she said. "I think the Hudson community has many generous, giving citizens who have, and will continue to help others with less."
Margaret invites the community to the concert to help hurricane victims find a warm home for the holidays.
"I hope we bring hope to victims and let them know that they're not alone, and that people care about them," she said.

This is a delayed intro. I've lurked for 1 - 2 years, but didn't post. I'm not sure why I waited so long. :P
I'm a WAHM to 4 beautiful children. I have a daughter who will be 13 next month, an 11 year old son, a 39 month old daughter and a 3 month old baby girl.
My older kids are kind-of homeschooled. They attend an online public school. My son is on the mild autism spectrum, I tend to forget most of the time, unless I see him with other boys his age. I know I need some tips on helping him make friends as I think he's lonely.
I married my high school sweetheart straight out of high school - which was nearly 14 years ago. I'm not sure what else to add. :)
Welcome Karma. Glad to see you've unlurked and are posting :) We're a fun community with lots of great forum sections. I have a homeschooled kiddo on the spectrum too. I love the freedom it's given me with him, and can't imagine him in public school.

We got a Keurig Machine for Christmas for ourselves and there are only about 437 different options out there for different coffee and teas.
What is your favorite?
What was terrible?
I've got a few I like but nothing has me saying that is my daily brew.
Looking to save a few $ in having to do all the research myself by trying each of them. The way my memory is I'd forget what I tried and liked and what I didn't after about 12.

Flying Ants
Flying ants are not a separate species or type of ants, but those males and females which have not bred and might be in the process of doing so. The division of the body into parts such as the head, thorax, and abdomen makes their identification easier, and thus differentiates them from termites. Before making an attempt of eradicating them, it is important to know what attracts them. Sugar and greasy foods are the best baits. The first step in the process of flying ant eradication is to locate their nest. Flying ants in the house are mostly found in walls where they build their nests. If the house is infested with flying ants in winter, the possibility of finding their nest in the walls is high.
Termites are eusocial insects which fall under the order Isoptera. These are detritivorous insects (feed on dead materials) mostly found in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. It is necessary to understand the difference between flying ants, termites, and similar insects in order to take appropriate measures for their control. Many times it happens that the flying ant problem is mistaken for termites; which adds to the worry of house owners.
Distinguishing Features
Although flying ants and termites are similar in appearance, there are certain differences in their physical appearance which differentiate them from each other. The difference between a flying ant and a termite could be noticed easily if careful observation is made.
- The body of termites is divided into two parts i.e. the head and the body. Ants on the other hand have three parts, the head, thorax, and abdomen.
- The waist region of the ants appears to be somewhat pinched in shape while that of termites is not.
- The antennae of termites are straight while those of ants are bent in shape.
- The legs of ants are present in the thoracic region, just behind the head. Termites, on the other hand, have legs throughout the length of the body.
- The antennae of the termites are in a beaded form while those of ants are in a continuous line.
- The length of the wings of flying ants is different in size than that of termites. Both termites and flying ants have four wings, however, the front wings of the ants are larger than the hind wings. In case of termites, all four wings have the same length.
- Another difference to be noted between termites and ants is that the former have wings that are gray-white in color while the latter have transparent wings with veins which can be seen easily.
- The veins present on the wings are easily visible in the case of flying ants. Due to the grayish tinge present on the wings, veins on the wings of termites are not easily visible.
The feeding habits of these flying black ants and termites are also different. Termites primarily feed on wood, while the flying ants eat a variety of things including plants, meat, etc. The bacteria present in the stomach of termites help in breaking down the cellulose.
The above description of flying ants vs termites presents the various aspects of their structure, behavior, and food habits. Studying the difference between flying ants and termites help to understand the various causes of their infestations. Thus, taking preventive measures against the menace created by them becomes easier.

Fuel Polishing?
I''d offer two different views from Rich''s.
First, let''s be clear that fuel can be contaminated by both crud in and delivered with the fuel by the vendor AND by bugs that grow in the tank. Rich''s advice about buying from a high-volume vendor is a good one, altho'' I''d suggest two add''l criteria: one with a big storage volume and one that proudly shows his hicap filters at the fueling station (or will show them to you), hopefully sporting clean bowls. This will eliminate most of the crud and your system should handle the balance.
That leaves the bugs. These grow at the interface of the water and fuel, which is why one should try to leave a tank full rather than partially full. Air holds moisture and that moisture will condense over time due to temp changes, and as the water begins to collect the bugs have a larger home in which to grow. Better to minimize this by keeping the tank topped, most especially during those more dormant periods like winter. Having a way to occasionally suction out the very bottom of the tank - to go ''fishing'' for the water collecting there - is another helpful step.
Diesel does lose some of its punch as it ages but, unlike gas, you can bolster older diesel fuel with an additive; these are available most anywhere and are inexpensive. Consider using one of them if you usage level seems to warrant it. OTOH I''ve burned fuel several times in WHOOSH that I know to be several years old (at least) with no noticeable sign of poorer performance...so how much the fuel is harmed by long term storage remains a question in my mind.
Fuel Polishing?
GarrettK ---
As an engineer who primarily now does filtration, polishing the tank without actually getting inside and scrubbing the walls to loosen up all the agglomerated crud will probably be a waste of time. Polishing will indeed clean up the oil but wont touch the debris thats adhering to the walls. Such attached debris is subject to come loose the next time you encounter a heavy sea state.
First, remove most of the fuel (use in you oil burner at home) then If its a removable small tank, simply take it out and do the cleaning work outside the boat; if large or has a large inspection port, simply get in there with a long handled stiff brush and scrub until all the junks is in the bottom, then ''sop it up'' with towels - then burn.
How to keep a tank from particulating: only keep on board the amount of fuel that you ''need'' plus an amount for ''emergency'' reserve. Fuel has a relatively short ''shelf-life'' and will begin to ''grow''/ agglomerate particulate because its ''old''. To keep particles from old fuel from forming you need: a clean tank, buy only from a high-turnover source (one that pumps a LOT of fuel), ..... and then consider to add an onboard recirculation/polishing systm to keep the tank clean.
Hope this helps
Fuel Polishing?
I bought a new to me boat last November and ran into a problem this holiday weekend during my first real trip. While going through Beaufort Inlet in NC the waters were quite rough. Apparently this kicked up a bunch of "sediment" in my fuel tank (which I did not know was there and had never heard of before). The Racor filter ended up getting plugged and starved the engine of fuel.
I was towed back to a marina, changed out the primary and secondary filters, had the air bled from the fuel system (I didn''t know how to do this part) and things run fine now.
It has been suggested that I should have the fuel "polished" now. However, I''ve also been told that this may not get the sediment out and it is a waste of money.
I''m inclined to try it, but was wondering what opinions are here.

Try acupuncture, the traditional type, for the control of MS. I was diagnosed 5 years ago with rapid progressive, turns out I was actually allergic to the medication. The first initial onset wiped me out!!! Mobility, sight, speech, dribbling, bowels, bladder, the lot! Luckily I found out that acupuncture can work for some with MS. I have come from paralyzed to completely to mobile, (with a slight limp now), I'm raising my 6 year old alone, finishing a Science degree, and have never had another flare-up since. My neurologist sent me last year for another MRI because he can't work out why I am progressively getting better not worse considering my initial attack. He was wondering if I had been misdiagnosed. HA! Acupuncture works for me plus the Swank diet. no problems. Don't believe all the pharmacutical brainwashing rhetoric that you are fed, there are lots of different ways through this one! Peace

Hello Joy, Glad to read your success story of recovery from MS with acupuncture. If you don't know it already, just wanted to alert you that sodium fluoride (as found in public water supply, toothpaste, antidepressants, etc) has been implicated in MS. I also remember reading about someone who claimed to have been cured of her MS by eliminating all bleached flour from her foods.
Houston, TX
My husband was diagnosed with MS in August 2003, just days before his 31 birthday. He is currently having increasing bladder problems and is considering acupuncture as a treatment option. How do you go about finding a reputable acupuncturist? He is currently taking medication for MS, bladder spasms and fatigue as well as self-cathing approx 4-5 times a day. Along with the bladder dysfunctions he is experiencing erectile dysfunctions as well. The medications given by his urologist do not work. He is becoming very frustrated with the constant bladder problems and is looking for other options.
Atlanta, GA
Response to Amy: Ask your friends and colleagues for acupuncture referrals.They will usually send you to a good one. At least that's my experience. However, do make sure you see the one that they recommend! I made a mistake last year when I went to the partner of a acupuncturist who had been recommended by a good friend. The woman, a traditional chinese acupuncturist from China, was booked a month in advance but I was able to get in and see her partner, (her husband as it turns out) right away. He was also a professor of medicine at a nearby university, so I thought he must be good. He turned out to be a peeping tom, lifting up my underwear on 2 different sessions to quickly peep underneath. The first time I thought it was a fluke, the second time I knew for sure I had a creep on my hands and never went back. My own fault, I should have listened to my intuition when I made the call to just wait for her to be available!
Tracy, Ca
Hi Joy! In 2006, when my twins were 5 months old, I was diagnosed with RRMS. It was devastating to me and my family. I could not walk, talk, vision was getting bad. I have been injecting myself with copaxone since that time. My memory is horrible and sometimes I have tremors... I have been using baking soda/molasses as a tea for a while. I have not taken long enough to see if it really works yet. I want to be healed before obamacare is implemented in January 2014. Thank you for your story.
I have made an appointment with an acupuncturist in my city for hopefully next week.
I've read recently that many cases of M.S. would be cured with Vitamin D supplementation... that they are deficient... In fact doctor said many of us have a Vitamin D deficiency... another important one is Vit B-12 this can cause neurological symptoms... some peoples bodies just don't process it so you need a sublingual (melt under your tongue brand)... I'm taking 2000 mcg daily to get back on track... I felt like I was getting a neurological disease and I found out (thru my fingernails - if you are lacking white moons on your fingernails you may have B-12 def or hypothyroidism... Here are symptoms:

Alkaline Diet
Hi! Dwan here, in Atlanta, GA who has MS and is now eating mostly alkaline rather than acidic foods - and drinking water with baking soda mixed in.
For those times I decide to eat out eat a restaurant in Atlanta, I want to eat at a restaurant that serves alkaline food.
Is there a directory online that lists restaurants that serve alkaline meals - especially in Atlanta?
Alpharetta, Ga
Hello Dwan -- a diet comprised of mostly vegetables is alkaline. Even acidic citrus turns alkaline during metabolization. Meats are acidic. Track your blood levels though if making a diet change (at your doctor's office). I was vegan for 4 years and never felt better. Then I found a B12 deficiency, so started trying the Wahls Protocol, which is mostly paleo, but with a lot of veggies. After two years of that, I am back to mostly veggies, with occasional wild caught salmon or ground grassfed beef -- small portions. These help with the B12, but I think mostly veggies is best for me -- Also, I do not eat dairy and try to avoid gluten. I was diagnosed with MS over 20 years ago and am doing pretty well.
Books of Interest
There are many excellent self-help books available for people who have Multiple Sclerosis. They contain reliable information on the management of Multiple Sclerosis and do not hold out false hopes for people, but provide practical advice. There is also medical treatment available from scientists who have put their products through all the rigorous trials required for a drug to be deemed both safe and efficacious. Until the treatment described in his book goes through similar trials, I would not wish to use it.
We also have to remember the Mr. Delaney's claim of curing his MS is connected to the idea that he diagnosed himself with the disease, with only a moderate amount of medical background. He was never a Doctor of any sort. Good luck to those who are truly looking for a silver bullet. I hope a reliable one comes along soon!
Virginia Beach, Va
I am a retired registered nurse, massage therapist, and Doctor of Chiropractic. I wrote "The Edgar Cayce Way of Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis: Vibratory Medicine" to document my successful use of the Cayce material in putting my multiple sclerosis into remission.
As a healthcare professional, I diagnosed my condition based on the many signs and symptoms that were so typical of MS that, in my opinion, no other diagnosis was reasonably possible.
Edgar Cayce is widely regarded as the father of modern holistic medicine, and the various alternative treatments he recommended have helped countless thousands. Literally hundreds of books and articles have been written about his amazing insights into sickness and disease.
I do not claim to be "cured," nor does my book hold out hope of a "cure" to its readers. Rather, the Cayce approach to treating MS works for some and not for others, and if one discontinues the treatment, symptoms return. Also, it requires a great deal of patience and persistence, and involves working with diet, massage, and a very mild form of electrotherapy. It also demands that one keep a positive mental attitude and maintain a high spiritual ideal.
A small pilot study showed that it was of definite benefit to most of the MSers who could stick to it.
Because Cayce's MS treatment is so demanding, however, it has limited value as a practical solution to the MS dilemma.

Len from Chicago, "There is also medical treatment available from scientists who have put their products through all the rigorous trials required for a drug to be deemed both safe and efficacious.
Considering the well documented and severe side effects from a lot of pharmaceuticals medicines and their tendency to treat only the symptoms and not the underlying causes. Which can lead to a long term dependency and usually damage to the liver. I think there can be no harm in giving these natural remedies (which have been used for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years without strong side effects) a try.
Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D, Potassium and Chromium
Living with these neuro-muscular symptoms, esp. the shaking and 'pin & needles' sensations can be relieved with daily doses of Calcium, magnesium and vit. D, potassium and chromium. Most important of all is getting alot of SLEEP. Damaged nerve cells need extra time to repair at night. So forget what most people need, 8-10 hours or more are absolutely necessary to keep healthy and slow the progress of the disease.
If sleep is difficult, get some Kava Kava, and take that with your magnesium before bed. It really soothes the nerves.
One more important aspect is the detoxification process. Heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals are literally poisoning the body. These are neuro-toxins that can be flushed out gradually. For instance, lead which has been absorbed, will bind with the extra Calcium, instead of with the bones.
These are my daily routine and i have immediate results. In fact if i miss a dose i start getting the shakes again.
Most of the information came from the "Prescription for Nutritional Healing". No doctor ever gave me the help i needed when i was really in pain and i take no prescription medication. Hope you feel better too.

I am confused because I thought calcium was NOT to be taken at all -- because there is so much excess calcium in our systems from every direction. There is a hypothesis that excess calcium creates blockage by attaching to inflammation, and that blockages are causing back wash of blood into the brain, creating MS symptoms.
Uniontown, Pa.
For MS holistic treatments, I have found that taking B6 [which helps with PMS and mood for me] and Bcomplex vitamin helps with the muscle shaking tremors which I get alot on using weight bearing or squeezing an item with hands or legs. Also helps immensely with energy boosting. Also take 2000 iu of D3, calcium, magnesium.
Coconut Oil
Here is a link to an article about how coconut oil is helpful for Alzheimers...and it also mentions that it helps for MS: http://www.tampabay.com/news/aging/article879333.ece
For Multiple Sclerosis I am writing a book on natural cures called "Christians, Health God's way"' The Lord directed me to a small booklet about bovine colostrum about a half year ago. In the book there were several testimonies about people suffering with M.S. Within about one month the one was completely cured and the other stated that 90% of her symptoms were gone. Also, I have a friend who told me about a friend of hers who had M.S. I told my friend to suggest that her friend take colostrum for her M.S. and also to stop using aspartame. About a month later her friend went from a wheelchair to back to a normal life. Praise The Lord. The reason why colostrum works with M.S. is that autoimmune diseases are started through what is called intestinal permeability. Colostrum heals this, thereby giving the body the opportunity to heal itself. Of course, its important to stop eating unhealthy foods in addition to doing the colostrum. Make sure when you purchase the solostrum that you purchase colostrum that is from no more than the first two milkings, because after these milkings the quality of the colostrum is too diluted to be very effective. The reason why you shouldn't use aspartame is because one of the side effects is that it "mimics"
San Antonio, Tx
I suffered from season allergies, anyone who has them knows hos miserable it can make you feel...I actually started with ____, which is the same thing as colostrum but more technical and scientific, I ended up changing to colostrum because of the price...anyhow when cedar comes along all i need is my colostrum pill and the symptoms are almost none...while before i was taking oral medicine, eye allergy drops and still feel terrible and what to say about all the side effects from them . I really swear by this product, it would help anything that has to do with immune disorders..actually my dad is taking too due to skin cancer and it has actually help him keep the disease under control.
Reader Question from Saint Clair Shores' asked if they could try other therapies along wtih Copaxone treatment. As Ted said, "YES". Copaxone is a complex amino acid chain that simply acts as a decoy and gives your immune system something to work on instead of attacking the myelin cover on the nerves.
Shared Solutions which helps patients manage their Copaxone therapy says that there's no drug or vitamin interaction with Copaxone so it's safe to take other meds and supplements. Once on Copaxone, do everything in your power to remain on the Copaxone therapy. Yeah it's a hassle with the daily injection but it's a small needle and much easier to deal with than Avaonex or Beta Seron. Usually the only problem could be an injection site reaction. I know people that took Beta Seron years ago before Copaxone came along and they had flu like symptons after taking the injection.
Even if you're not on Copaxone, go to the SharedSolutions.com web site and look at the info. Then give them a call and get signed up with them and they'll send you more info and keep you on their mailing list. Copaxone isn't cheap and you likely need insurance to offset most of the cost and Shared Solutions can possibly help with finding financial help.
But definately yes, try other natural therapies and adding supplements to your daily routine. Just as MS affects each of us differently, one thing might work for you while it doesn't work for the rest of us. Unless you're lucky enough to have an amazing Neurologist then it's up to you to educate yourself, network with group and individuals and sometimes be your own doctor to see what helps you.
And like others said here, plenty of sleep and a REGULAR schedule really helps most people suffering from MS. And here I am writing this at 4am :-) I can attest to having a mixed up sleep schedule and how it works against you.
Even though Copaxone has worked well for me and a good friend that takes it, I'd be interested in trying the Honey Bee Venon supplement. I'd seen a video years ago about people with MS getting together and doing group Honey Bee Venom therapy through actual Bee stings. It looked painful but it sure worked for many of the people.
I rambled on here quite a bit because if mentioning a single item here can point someone down the path to finding relief from MS, then I've done a good deed for the day. Be your own doctor, be your own researcher, be proactive and hopefully you too can find help.
May God Bless each of you.

I read a comment regarding the copaxone injections. Granted not every solution is for every person however, I was taking the daily copaxone shots and suffered at least twice a month, sometimes more often, of all over body pain and could not do anything that was close to my normal activity level. My suggestions are that only you know your body. Listen to it. I do feel that a more natural path is the way one should follow if they are looking for relief. Remember God didn't intend for us to live unaturally. FDA approved medicines are not always the best way to go and Doctors get paid wether you listen or not.

I absolutely LOVE Copaxone. It was a gift finding out I had MS!!! For so long, no one could explain why I had all of these mystery symptoms. Dr's couldn't figure it out, so they told me my symptoms were a side effect of my being FAT! Since taking the Copaxone, my being fat no longer matters and my symptoms have improved 90% or better.
Dave Thomas Protocol
Hi everyone!
We just posted a video on YouTube of Dave talking about how he cured his wife of MS 18 years ago. Check it out here: http://youtu.be/CJTRiSFcVLY
Dallas, Texas
Fountain Inn, Sc
Hello Sameer,
Re the EC video post on my wife's MS;
The list is given on the video but I'll be happy to relist for you:
1. We had to get the mercury out of her system. There is evidence that MS is caused by a heavy metal combined with a virus. When tested she DID have mercury off the chart. She had just had amalgam fillings put in six months earlier. So chelation removed the mercury at large and one at a time using a "dam" the amalgams were replaced.
2. She took a lot of colloidal silver to kill the virus...that over a year... two times daily...about six tablespoons a day.
3. She took sphingolin daily to rebuild the myelin sheath. Can get on line. She took 3 tablets daily.
4. She took six tablets of AEP daily...vital.
5. Also she took 3 tablets Evening Primrose Oil daily which helps build cells. The western diet provides inferior oils... too much hydrogenated oils... deadly for the brain and causes dementia. By the way, this is why an extended low fat diet can be detrimental.
I was told aster her MRI that she would have to face a life of degenerating mobility. She was fine all her life after we got past the initial six months of turning her around.
Vienna, Austria
Dear Dave,
First of all thank you for posting your video, I have watched it thru a few times. I was wondering how you went about the chelation process? Did you use DMPS or the American equivalent DMSA? Also, do you remember the concentration of colloidal silver she was taking, in the 2 Tablespoons 3 x daily? I have a silver generator and the maximum concentration PPM is 30. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Carrie
Fountain Inn, Sc
Hello Carrie,
Re your question to me....
Chelation was performed with EDTA. IVs...over a multi month period.
Also her fillings which were put in (mercury amalgams) were taken out by using a plastic wrap to keep the filling from getting into the system.
On the quantity of Colloidal Silver to kill the infection, about two or three tablespoons twice daily for six months....30 ppm.
The theory is that a heavy metal such as mercury ties to the myelin sheath and a specialty virus invades into the interior onto the nerve...a lesion. The invading virus then has a field day into the nerve. Like shingles virus, like Bells' Palsy. I think even ALS is triggered by a specialty virus...think: Polio.
So she was not only orally consuming CS, but applying topically with DMSO on site of dorsal lesion.
Also Evening Primrose Oil...1,000 IUs daily. Sphingolin....1,000 mg or so.
Now remember; this viral/heavy metal as the cause for MS is my theory. Maybe there are other causes. But in the case of my wife, she overcame the MS; was back walking in months with no loss of motion and all the predictions that she would disintegrate and be bed ridden in ten years, did not come true.
By the way, don't forget AEP...(calcium AEP)....google "calcium AEP Nutrition Review"
I gave her 1,000 mg of that too...daily.
Vienna, Austria
Dear Dave,
Thank you for your response.
I never had any fillings in my adult teeth. The water in the town I grew up in did have fluoride, and I think it is very possible that I have eaten mercury contaminated seafood. When I was first diagnosed with MS, there were blood tests done and it showed an elevated Herpes Zoster count. (Shingles)
Since watching your video, I started taking the calcium EAP, Evening Primrose oil, Sphingolin and we have started working with the DMSO on the lesion. The chelation is the missing step. I saw that there is some device where you submerge the feet into an ionic foot bath to detox from heavy metals. I am not sure if this really works.
Since my diagnosis I have made many changes, both diet and lifestyle but still have relapses which I only know of because I have had MRI's. (I am a vegetarian now, drinking fresh pressed juices, exercise and I have tried many more alternative therapies, perhaps too many to list.) I want to steer clear of the Allopathic medical model. I was taking Copaxone daily, and heavy steroid doses when I had an attack. This steroid therapy was worse than my MS symptoms. One of my doctors actually suggested a round of Chemotherapy to stop the attacks! I was shocked to say the least. At the moment I am an able bodied sufferer of MS with no severe damage, yet.
Thank you for your video and sharing your story, and giving such detailed advice.
Wishing you and your wife all the best.
Uniontown, Oh
Hi Carrie,
In addition to Dave's excellent advice, you should also look into low dose naltrexone (www.ldninfo.org) for your MS. Earth Clinic has some info here, under Ailments, MS:
It is a non-toxic, FDA approved drug (for opiate and alcohol addiction at 50 mg/day) with no side effects except possible sleep disturbances for a week or so. It was discovered several decades ago that when given in very low doses of 1.5-4.5mg/day, it could modulate the immune system, thus reducing symptoms and progression of MS, many autoimmune diseases (phase lll trials are in progress now for Crohn's disease)and even helping with control of cancer. It is low cost at about $40/month, and is taken orally. It stops progression in about 85% of MS users. On the official LDN site listed above, there is reference for a Yahoo LDN Group that has over 12,000 members, about half use it for MS. They will advise you, give you their stories and answer any questions you may have. Best wishes!

I hope this message finds you well. I am contacting you regarding a youtube video in which Dave Thomas spoke about curing his wife of MS. He provided some amazing information about numerous supplements. However, the dosages of the Calcium AEP and Porcine Sphingolin weren't mentioned. Are those to be taken as directed on the bottle? Thank you so much for your help!

I have MS, and have been following Swanks MS Diet for the past 2 years - I have no symptoms of MS (other than brain fog - but that could just be me! ). His diet is all about reducing saturated fat intake. Dr Roy Swank did over 50 years of research on MS. There was a 20 year study completed on this with MS patients which shows remarkable results. And all it takes is changing the food you eat. Please have a look at the following 2 websites - http://www.swankmsdiet.org/ and Dr George Jelinek's site - http://www.overcomingmultiplesclerosis.org/ . These 2 websites have great forums which show that the diet can slow/reverse symptoms of this disease. Both these doctors also have books that are my bibles. Take care and please look into Swanks MS Diet.
Washington, Dc
I myself have not participated in this diet, nor do I have Multiple Scelerosis. But, I am the main caregiver for my mother who does have MS, and will soon start implementing my findings.
I came across this video recently that I thought was phenomenal that addresses how effective diet is to curing this "uncureable" disease. It's a video from a physician, Dr. Terry Wahls, who herself suffered from a serious case of MS, and now she's back to her healthy self. All she did was change her diet.
Go check it out: http://youtu.be/KLjgBLwH3Wc
This guy is also a former sufferer of MS, and he went on a fast to cure his ailment. His video can be seen here:
Please let me know if anyone else has tried this stuff, so I can help my mom get back to the women she deserves to be.
I read this article yesterday from Dr Mercola on a Doctor who cured MS with a paleo diet and some supplements so thought I would pass it along.
Dietary Changes, Supplements
I have been following the Swank diet and Terry Wahls diet for about 6 months, and I feel that has helped diminish multiple sclerosis symptoms. Current research has pointed to problems with gut bacteria in ms patients, and lack of nutrients due to this digestive issue. I added a very tiny amount of iodine through kelp supplement, about 50 mcg daily, and felt blood flow to my feet and warm hands and feet, helping blood circulation. (have to be careful taking iodine due to thyroid) I started taking biotin 8 mg daily and that has improved my energy and strength. Also take multi vitamin, vitamin d3, b complex vitamin, magnesium malate and turmeric.
The 9 cups of leafy greens and colorful vegetables and fruits, along with no processed foods, gluten free, low saturated fats and low sugar, per the above diets has helped. I lost 13 lbs on the diet. I was diagnosed with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis previously. I can now drive, as the vertigo and nausea is gone, and my leg strength is better. I have not been to the hospital with breathing problems from "ms hug" since starting the diets. The pain is better. I am currently excited about the biotin, as my energy has improved since taking it. There was a recent study done on biotin which had good results, so neurologists are recommending it and vitamin d3 now. If you take vitamin d3, make sure you take a calcium citrate supplement and magnesium to balance electrolytes.
I drink low sodium V8 juice to get the potassium so it all balances out. I do low salt diet, sea salt only to get the other minerals. Salt was found to aggravate ms, and I found it to be true. I drink a lot of water too, since I believe dehydration was worsening ms. You need about 9 cups water a day for a woman, about 11 cups for a man. I set timer on my phone to remind me to drink glass of water.
Pinching skin on back of hand and raising 1 cm and releasing it, skin should snap back quickly. If skin sinks back slowly, you are dehydrated. I thought I was drinking enough water, but I wasn't! Also take a good probiotic supplement. I still have good and bad days, but the improvement is definitely there!
Eliminate Artificial Sweeteners, Ldn
Hello, I have Primary Progressive MS, and unlike most people I know what started it. I used to drink Aspartame sweetened diet soda. In 2004 I started to have significant neurological symptoms, numbness, severe word sluring, loss of muscle control and hot flashes in my left arm. I saw at least a dozen doctors and spent 4 days in the hospital, no one could figure it out. Then in May I went to a Chiropractor and he convinced me to give up Diet Coke, which I was drinking about a 6 pack a day. Immedieatly the symptoms started disappearing and within 2 weeks they were completly gone, except my right thumb and 2 adjacent fingers had some numbness, they felt like anything I touched was through cloth. A follwup MRI showed that I had lots of damage to my brain, and much of my cerebellum was gone (the nerves that control the fingers are in there). I continued to push for a real cause and in December I was diagnosed with MS by a doctor of neurology who was also a professor of Neurology at the University of Miami.
She said I had R&R MS, and I disagreed because I said that I never had a relapse or remission. In any case I did not take anything and seemed to be fine except for the numbness in my fingers. Then 5 years later I started to experience weakness in my right leg, which I attributed to Planta Fascitus which I had in my right foot. I went to a podiatrist and he fixed the foot, and I then went to a physical theripist to strengthen it, she said that the problem was neurological. I than went back to a neurogist and he proclaimed I had MS. Over the next 3 years I steadily declined, never having a relapse or a remission. I saw 3 more neurologists and they all said I had MS.
I tried the Wahles Diet, lots of supplements, the Swank Diet, and acupuncture, all to no avail. Then last week I got a prescription for Low Dose Naltrexon (LDN). I initially got my Doctor to write it for 4.5 mg, but the pharmacist at Skip's Pharmacy in Boca Raton told me to start with 1.5 mg, then after 30days up it to 3 then after 30 more days go to 4.5mg.
Although it has only been a few days already I do not get fatigued by midmorning and my right leg does not cramp up or shake a lot in the morning, like it was. My disease progresses slowly, but I am hopeful that it will now stablize.
I have now retired to Costa Rica, where I got a Doctor to write the prescription for LDN. Since I go back to Florida to visit frequently I hope to be able to keep up the LDN.
Uniontown, Oh
I'm glad to hear you are doing well on LDN. It should stop the progression of your disease. Please be aware that if the LDN is stopped for more than a couple of days, you can get the MS symptoms back again. You need it to moderate your immune system and keep the MS in check. By the way, I believe Skip's ships all over the world and prescriptions can be faxed to them. He has been a true leader in the LDN arena, and has donated many hours and work for it's use to help those with autoimmune diseases. I have no financial interest or affiliation with this pharmacy. Best wishes!

Honey Bee Venom
I have had MS for 10 years now. I take the beta seron shot every other day. Well I had a attack a few years back and the steroids did not help. Scared ....I decided to try from the vitamin store a jar honey that contains bee venom. It worked wonders for me i was completely healed within a week. I currently use 2 brands whichever is available at the time of my attack. 1. Actiflex Plus by Comvita....this one is harder to find www.comvita.com 2. Nectar Ease Distributed by henneybee thareapy 1-866-289-9233. I really believe they worked for me!
Avon Lake, Oh
I have had success using Bee Venom Therapy for various ailments including: herniated disk, muscle strains in the lower back and shoulders, and it removed a wart that I had for over 5 years on my foot. I have witnessed many MS patients make drastic improvements with Bee Venom Therapy to the point that they got off of the drugs that only made them feel worse.
Many people use BVT for arthritis, carpal tunnel, low back issues, etc... (even Cancer).
Mother Nature has provided the solutions for our health issues.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hi all! I was diagnosed with MS 14 months ago, I had a rubbish year, needed steroid every 3-4 month, havent been able to work as I constatly have problem with fatigue, pins and needles and pretty bad numbness in my feet, bladder dysfunction, constipation, weakness and balance trouble, difficulty with walking, blurry sight with one eye and lots of other symptoms.
Steroid works but every time I get some, by the time I start to get back to normal, the problems slowly come back and I'm going down within two month again. It's very depressing. Now, I'm trying to be positive but right now I can't even walk again for ten minutes without sitting down for a rest. When I was diagnosed I was also told that I have EBV and they couldn't really tell 100% that my symptoms are caused by ms or EBV but most likely ms I guess.
I have been reading about Hydrogen Peroxide therapy for about two weeks and it gave me so much hope that I decided to try it. I am on 14 drops today now, climbing up to 25 and then do the whole protocol as it's in the books... I was wondering if anyone with the same problems has tried HP therapy? Please would you share your experiences with me, and maybe give me a little hope that I will get better one day. I am only 30 but I feel like my life stopped a year ago:-( I know I can't expect anything in a couple of weeks but I believe in this now so much that I tell myself every single day that this stuff will help me and I'm willing to do, even be patient for six months for results as long as I can walk, and after if I get better I am going to drink or inhale hp for the rest of my life.
Please give some good news here dear everyone or Ted! This site is great by the way!
I wish you all good health, and I'm looking forward to some answers. Also here's my email if anyone would share their experience with hp therapy in private orsika(at)hotmail.co.uk
Thank you!
Uniontown, Oh
I have some good news for you. Please look at this website, www.ldninfo.org. LDN is an inexpensive, FDA approved drug, which when taken in a very small dose can help with many autoimmune diseases, and is usually very effective in stopping progression of MS. Additionally, please join the Yahoo LDN group that has over 10,000 members, at least half of whom have MS. They will help you very willingly and with much understanding and experience. You are not alone and help is as close as your computer. Best wishes!

Hi Orshi - I don't know about hydrogen peroxide for MS, but you may find the following TED video very interesting.
TEDxIowaCity - Dr. Terry Wahls - Minding Your Mitochondria
Dr. Terry Wahls learned how to properly fuel her body. Using the lessons she learned at the subcellular level, she used diet to cure her MS and get out of her wheelchair.
Hope there is some valuable information in it for you. Take care, Bess

Hi Orshi, I have MS too, I have found oxygen therapy helpful. Hydrogen peroxide, and also Homozon. I did CCSVI treatment several times but while there were benefits they only last 6 months for me. I had it again and veins were open but symptoms came back. After lots of supplements, and continued progression, I tried stem cell therapy which stopped the progression and with exercise seems to be helping me get better. Went from wheelchair to walker outside the house. It's been 2 months.

Vancouver, B.c.
Just found this site and have been reading all the interesting posts.
My yoga instructor was telling us about Hydrogen Peroxide food grade and how it might be beneficial for people with MS, which I have had for 6/7 years now. Not sure if I can get LDN in Canada but will look into it.
Orshi, if you are still looking at this post every now and then, just wondering how you made out and if you have tried the LDN ??
I am 50 and also have extreme numbness in both legs/feet as well as bladder/bowel/eye problems as well as others.
Anyone in Canada purchasing the LDN? Thanks for any info. Best to everyone, Pete
Fountain Inn, Sc
Pete, re your MS;
Also look into a substance that Dr Robert Adkins used as his number one go to for his MS patients that he would give to them in IV form, although the oral consumption I have seen is amazingly effective for the symptoms you describe; "Calcium AEP" and the "calcium" part is not the issue...it is the AEP part that is the miracle. You can google "Nutrition Review Calcium AEP" and find an amazing article on the 20 different things AEP can do to help the human body, To deal with leg symptoms, especially when stressed, up to eight tablets of AEP are needed.
Also, I have found Colloidal Silver to be effective in killing viral infections. It is theorized that MS has as a trigger a virus.

The Scientist highlights a paper by Paul Keim and colleagues, just published in mBio, confirming that Nepalese solders were the source of the cholera outbreak that killed 6000 and sickened many others. Keim and his co-workers used whole genome sequencing to compare 24 Nepalese samples with 10 Haitian samples to make the confirmation: all were nearly identical.

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is usually a very busy day at the nation's airports, and traditionally, the second busiest travel day of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. As we noted in an earlier post, the Air Transport Association forecasted a 10 percent drop in the number of passengers traveling on U.S. airlines during that time.
TSA data collected from airports nationwide proved the forecast right. Based on data collected from this past Wednesday, the number of passengers going through TSA checkpoints decreased 16 percent nationwide - and 14 percent at the nation's 40 busiest airports - compared to last year.
Of the top 40 U.S. airports, the biggest decreases in passenger volume through security checkpoints on Wednesday were at Honolulu International Airport (35 percent); John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA (32 percent); Tampa International Airport (27 percent) and Newark International Airport (22 percent).
Airports with the smallest drop in passenger volume were San Francisco International Airport (5 percent), Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (5 percent), Boston Logan International Airport (6 percent), Denver International Airport (9 percent) and Indianapolis International Airport (8 percent).
Update: The above data reflects the number of people screened by TSA at security checkpoints, not the total number of enplanements at airports. TSA data doesn't include people who had connecting flights through airports who do not go through the checkpoint. The post has been updated above to reflect this clarification.

Carnival Glory 7 Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise
Sail Date: January 09, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Oceanview
Out trip was on January 9, 2016. The trip as fabulous! I had read reviews where the ship was outdated and needed refurbished. This is not true. The ship was lovely. The entire crew was over the top with anything and everything that you needed. We did not have one crew member that was not overly nice. The cruise director Eli was the absolute best! His energy and personality really made the cruise--so much so we are planning another cruise and will be contacting Carnival to see what ship he will be on so that we will be able to go with him. The islands and the excursions were fantastic. I would highly recommend this cruise.

Matthew Prince '00: Internet Entrepreneur's Company Supercharges Websites
"We're building a better version of the internet," Matthew Prince, '00, says about CloudFlare, the company he cofounded and leads as CEO.
Since CloudFlare's 2010 launch, more than a million users around the world, from individual bloggers to major universities, giant companies, and national governments, have signed up for its services. Access to those users' websites is routed through CloudFlare's global network of data centers, and CloudFlare's technology makes those websites run much faster (twice as fast, on average, as conventional internet traffic), fiercely protects them from attacks, and decreases the resources required to operate them. No hardware or software changes are necessary; the switch into CloudFlare's network normally takes less than five minutes to accomplish.
The Wall Street Journal named CloudFlare the most innovative network and internet technology company of 2011—and then the company earned the same honor again in 2012, marking the only time any company has won it twice. Prince has also now twice attended the World Economic Forum as one of its 25 honored technology pioneers.
In 2012, CloudFlare served 679,237,127,874 page views and thwarted 281,701,624,076 threats. Approximately 1.3 billion internet users passed through the company's network—well over half of the internet's total user population.
CloudFlare's big numbers contrast dramatically with the number of full days Prince has worked as a paid attorney since he graduated from the Law School: none. After graduation, he got sidetracked away from the law firm job he had accepted into a high-tech startup with the brother of a Law School professor. He remained with that company until it was sold, then taught at a law school, and then started a new company, Unspam, from which he took a sabbatical from 2007 to 2009 to attend Harvard Business School. He started CloudFlare in 2009 as a business school project with a classmate and one of the early members of Unspam's engineering team.
Noting that his nontraditional career path is not as unusual as it might seem for a graduate of the Law School, Prince recalls a recent get-together with four classmates, none of whom was working as a lawyer—one is a top aide to a state governor, one is a development officer, one works in a nonattorney capacity at the White House, and the other teaches high school. "I had the good fortune to attend a great college and a top business school," Prince says, "but I can't imagine that there's anything like a Chicago Law School education to prepare you to do practically anything you choose. You're going to come away with an incredible set of critical reasoning skills that are useful anywhere."
"It's also very valuable for any entrepreneur to know the law, for two reasons," he adds. "One is obvious—the law is important at virtually every growth stage—but the other is less obvious and just as useful: it's very important to be unafraid of the law, to know what threats and potential legal challenges are baseless and shouldn't cause you to change what you are doing or planning to do."
He mentions that Unspam, which created the email equivalent of telephone do-not-call lists, was the target of a lawsuit from a pornography industry group alleging that blocking its spam emails constituted a First Amendment violation. "I knew that we were in the right on that one, and I was confident that Geof Stone and Cass Sunstein would stand right beside me in saying so," he recalls.
CloudFlare is much in the news these days, not only for its business and technological accomplishments but because of its role in protecting speech rights and other important national interests. When the Wikileaks website was attacked and brought down by hackers, it turned to CloudFlare to protect it. When government hackers targeted the websites of some dissident African journalists, CloudFlare worked with the Committee to Protect Journalists to keep the sites online. When Syria's government sabotaged the internet, CloudFlare's experts were able to detect how that had been done and inform the world. And when Israel and Hamas were engaged in armed conflict, each side was also launching cyberattacks against the other; when they both became CloudFlare customers, the attacks were thwarted.
"The better internet we're building is not only faster and less costly, it's also safer and more open for the free expression of ideas," Prince observes. "And that's all pretty thrilling."
