Fatigue Testimonials
Here you will find radio spots that might reference your illness.
UPDATE 1/30/08 Courageous nurse's phenomenal recovery!
DATE: December 17, 07
Email sent to water cure lecturer and friend to humanity, Jim
Bolen thanking him for his help. Recovering from a caffeine ruined life.
Jim I can't thank you enough for giving me the information I have been needing the past several years. As a 45 year old woman with four teen girls and in the peak of menopause (after having a complete hysterectomy) I have had such a lack of energy and so chronically fatigued I could barely stand to do anything. My activity level was almost completely non- existent. I had gained almost sixteen pounds after the surgery and was already overweight prior to that . My self esteem was beyond repair or so I thought. I informed you that I had been taking synthroid for an under active thyroid for years and on top of that I am quite blind without my glasses. A condition I was told, by an ophthalmologist, as soon as you hit 40 your eyes just go. Basically I just thought okay I'm 40 and it's just down hill from now on. Now 45 I had just given up on myself (thrown in the towel) coming to grips that this is how it's going to be.
Surprise! After taking your suggestions my life is so significantly different.
Wow~ I never could have seen myself waking up and cooking breakfast, putting the laundry in, packing the lunches, folding the blankets, making the beds and all before the kids bus came. You see that would have taken at least 2 hours -minus packing the lunches just to wake up and sit and drink my 3-4 cups of coffee before I even got started. Cooking breakfast consisted of pulling yogart out of the frig. (how things have changed).
I thought I needed all the caffine I'd been drinking. Coffee in the morning and Pepsi's the rest of the day just to stay on my feet. Well after listening to what you had to say I thought to myself "This makes perfect sense". Yes I was apprehensive at first but something inside me said after all what did I have to loose. More than anything I was curious and decided to give your suggestions a try. I'm really glad I did.
The results were immediate. I couldn't believe it! To be totally honest I was cheating with the coffee still ...down to just 2 cups in the morning but I felt different. After about 2 weeks I went to one cup and then one day I woke up and started cooking breakfast and putting the lunches together and forgot to make my coffee. It wasn't until the second load of laundry did I even realize it. When I did~ a big smile came over my face, I haven't felt like this in years. From that day on I knew it was only going to get better. I was still concerned about the weight though. I hadn't weighed myself in quite some time and decided I better check to make sure I wasn't gaining. To my surprise I had only gained 2 pounds but I thought my clothes felt loose and heck I feel good enough now that I COULD even exercise. Imagine that.....Exercise.Just the thought of excercising was enough to convince me I absolutely needed to adjust my water consumption for good. More water it's as simple as that.
On top of all this, my vision improved dramatically.
My body was only as good as what I had put into it. Which was basically nothing. How could I have done that to myself?
What matters now is that I know how to help myself over come all the damage I had been doing for so long. I am so grateful to you and your patience with me helping to get me to understand just what I was doing. There is no way I could have done this without your support. Your insights kept me going and you always had answer to all of my questions.
How can I ever say "Thanks for giving me my Life back". I feel like a new woman. Honestly! I'm a true believer in the watercure.
Please stay in touch ~

Hey you guys!
I've just visited your great web site and read all about the water cure! What a great job you've done in supplying all this valuable information! I heartedly agree with the good Doctor (what a great story!), and have been an advocate of "Hydration Therapy" (I'm not sure if he or someone else is the author of it here in the west) for years as the "first therapy" that should be given in all circumstances, and continued throughout life. I further believe that because amino acid metabolism is so heavily skewed because of dehydration, we need not only liberal amounts of salt every day, but also a supplementation of Free Form Amino Acids as well. I promise you, that you will feel the difference!
By the way, this idea that we should all be on low-salt diets is a misnomer caused by published research done back in the 40's on southern African-American Males, who had difficulties tolerating salt. Unfortunately, the results were applied to the entire population (wrong!) resulting in many white Americans now suffering from chronic fatigue and Epstein-Barr Syndrome.
Luckily just a few years ago, John-Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, discovered that most chronic fatigue symptoms disappeared within 1-2 hrs after being given ordinary table salt (sea salt would have been better), and that chronic fatigue was generally caused by chronic low levels of salt in the body, and yes, systemic dehydration!
Small world isn't it!
Look forward to speaking with you again.

Several months ago I had a casual conversation with a friend. We had spoken about the simple, healthy effects of drinking water on a daily basis. The day went by and I didn't think much about it. You see, I have been drinking water every day for all of my adult life, for no special reason other than simple habit. I'm 46.
One evening after coming home from a typical days work, I had my supper and sat down on the sofa. I knew I had to go back out to my shop to do a repair before the next day but I found myself dozing off.
I, for some reason recalled that conversation I had with my friend those few months ago. I remember him saying water is not only necessary for good health but it will give you extra energy and prevent fatigue.
Knowing I had to get going to my repair work, I thought to myself, let me drink two large glasses of water before I go.
Two hours later I found myself not only completing the repair but also looking for some other maintenance to perform.
Since that night I've tested the theory several times and it comes out the same every time.
I've never been in poor health or never had more than a common cold so I'm deducing now that my simple habit of drinking a few glasses of water every day has led to my good record. It seems the only way to prove or disprove my theory is to stop drinking water for some time and see if I become ill.
Well, I'm sorry folks, I'm not about to try that test. I'll go on drinking water every day and also go on using extra as an energy boost. If I simply don't become ill or expire any time soon, that will be good enough for me.
The following letter is from a woman whose brother was cured of chronic fatigue syndrome by greatly increasing his intake of water. Her letter was written to a government researcher, whose name we shall keep confidential:
From: M. H. Potomic, Maryland
My 36 year-old brother has suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for one year. He has tried everything including vitamin therapy, acupuncture, bed rest, various medications, special diets, etc. Some of these treatments seemed to help but the symptoms returned. I mentioned to a doctor friend of mine, Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, that my brother suffered from CFS and how much his life changed since the symptoms appeared. He told me about his research and suggested that my brother increase his water intake. He spoke to my brother every day, long distance, to encourage him. My brother gradually increased his water intake based on these daily conversations. Within two weeks, he was better, within four weeks, he was even better. My whole family was amazed that he could be so much better with something as simple as WATER. Four months later, he is doing extremely well.
My brother finds that when he adds alcohol to his fluid intake, the symptoms reappear. The alcohol had a dehydrating effect. It seems unbelievable that something so simple could have an amazing effect. I would love to see you do some research on this simple effective treatment. The CFS sufferers in the nation would be most grateful to you to spread this information. I would be most interested in your comments on Dr. Batmanghelidj's book.
Editor's Note: The government researcher was NOT interested. He scoffed at the idea that something as simple as water could cure this condition. We called M.H. ourselves. She told us the following:
"My brother was 36 years old and perfectly normal and then one day he had all of this pain in his arm and chest. He thought he was having a heart attack. He rushed himself to the emergency room, but doctors thought it was stress. Then, he went to ten different doctors, tranquilizers, etc. with no help. They thought he might have Lyme's Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, or whatever. They could never find anything wrong with him. This hit the man and he was in bed, he couldn't work, he couldn't do anything. He lived his life waiting to go to the next doctor. Dr. Batmangehlidj called him every day for two weeks and he started improving on the water.
It has now been about the two-year mark and the man is 75% his old self again. He is now out in his motorboat, driving fourteen or fifteen children and adults around, water skiing, boating, up and down the waves, picnic lunching. He is just unbelievable. This is a guy who had chronic fatigue syndrome and he gets mad because he is feeling tired after this."

Sorry as I'm new to this forum
I got a couple of responses to my question but had trouble understanding how to get to the info I think they sent. I just started getting really involved with Internet forums after getting diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 48. I've been told by one person here that this is NOT A CODING forum but didn't realize that at the time I asked my question & didn't understand how to get the answers from the links that were provided to me. At the risk of sounding like a bonehead ill ask again & see if someone will take the time to show me the way to the info..so here it goes.
When I took my new BMW to have the comfort access programed, I noticed that the car is programed to the remote,not the remote to the car & that's when I realized that the car has all the programs I need already in it. So, can someone tell me where I can find a programming chart or diagram that includes the comfort access settings as well?

Do you know these two people?
If you said Popeye and Olive Oyl, you'd be wrong! And that's the fun of costume parties...you never know for sure who's who.
So just for fun, we're throwing an "End-of-Show" costume party on Saturday, Oct. 25th, from 7:30-midnight, complete with music, dancing, refreshments, and even a mystery door prize. Plus, some of your best friends and nearest neighbors will probably be there, too, perhaps masquerading as somebody (or some-thing) they're not.
It's all to celebrate not only the Halloween season, but also the final weekend of an ongoing exhibition of works by mixed-media artist Melinda Wallach. Her pieces are noteworthy for their frequent inclusion of truly odd "found" objects, among them scraps of old packaging, broken machinery, and discarded plastic shards. Her show concludes the following day, Oct. 26th, from noon-4pm.
While the costume party is free to all, guests are invited to bring along their own favorite beverages, some nibbles to share, and/or contribute $5-10 to defray overhead. And costumes, while encouraged, are completely optional.

St. Kate's Newswire :: St. Catherine University, St. Paul, MN :: News and Events
Visiting Artist Series features Elana Mann and sound recordings
St. Catherine University welcomes Los Angeles-based artist Elana Mann as an artist-in-residence from March 3-8, 2013, for the Amy Marie Sears Memorial Visiting Artist Series. Mann will give a public lecture at 7 p.m., on Thursday, March 7, in the Visual Arts Building Lecture Hall.
Mann developed an interest in the social-political implications of active listening, after she discovered a love of listening during long drives through Southern California with the radio on.
Through her studies of composer Pauline Oliveros and participation in community choirs, she made this the focus of her work, and she now has a growing collection of original sound recordings that express a progressive social politic.
During her residency March 3-8, 2013, Mann will work on a new project with students from St. Catherine University entitled Resonate, Reverberate, Roar (Re-Re-Roar). Re-Re-Roar is an archive of original sounds recorded by Mann (often in collaboration with other artists and students) that expresses a widely experimental, fiercely independent, and socially progressive spirit.
Mann will lead students in recording original sound content, which will be uploaded to a project website that will be accessible during the week of her residency.
She hopes to organize a session of interviews between students and the Sisters of St. Joseph to facilitate the sharing of life-experiences, ideas and wisdom, building upon the legacy the Sisters of St. Joseph already have at St. Kate's.
Mann says the goal of these interviews is to give college students, who are normally surrounded by people of their own age, an opportunity to hear about the life-work and mission of the elders of their community.
"College is a time of deep personal discovery and growth, and these interviews will be a chance for the Sisters to ask students profound questions about how they want to shape their lives, what role spirituality will play, and for the students to ask the Sisters about their mission and vision of contributing to their community," says Mann.
After the interview sessions, the recordings will be compiled with other similar inter-generational dialogues between women on the website.
About Resonate, Reverberate, Roar
Resonate, Reverberate, Roar (Re-Re-Roar) is an online archive of sounds of resistance, compiled from field recordings, interviews, songs, speeches, experimental music, and more.
The archive originated from artist Elana Mann's growing collection of original sound recordings that express a progressive social politic, and now includes a wide variety of sounds from diverse sources world-wide. Re-Re-Roar is a site for research, activ[ist] listening, and distribution, with all of the sounds available for free download and distribution.
About the artist
Mann has presented her projects in galleries, museums, buses, senior centers and street corners all over the world, including the Ford Foundation (New York), the Hirshhorn Museum at the Smithsonian (Washington D.C.), The Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles, CA), the Ben Maltz Gallery at the Otis College of Art and Design (Los Angeles, CA), and A Gentil Carioca (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). She is a recipient of California Community Foundation's 2009 Visual Arts Fellowship and a 2012 Center for Cultural Innovation ARC Grant.
Mann has published six publications, four of which are in the collection of the Getty Research Institute. Mann co-founded the Artist Bailout Collective and the People's Microphony Camerata as well as part of the collaborative duo Chan & Mann.
Her projects have been written about in such periodicals as the Los Angeles Times, NPR, O Globo, El Pais, La Reuppublica and X-Tra Magazine. Mann received a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA from California Institute of the Arts. She is currently a Visiting Lecturer at Scripps College and Pitzer College.

Wine, liquor approved for shipping in Pennsylvania
With no fanfare, the state Liquor Control Board began allowing people who order specialty wines and liquors from its website to have them shipped via UPS.
"This is something that has been debated and discussed through hearings and public discussions," board spokeswoman Stacey Witalek said on Tuesday. "It's certainly not something that was done behind closed doors."
Until Nov. 21, customers who ordered any of the 2,000 to 3,000 products had to pick them up at a state store. Shipping costs $14 for one to three bottles; it's an extra dollar for each additional bottle.
Witalek said if the pilot program proves successful during the next few months, it could expand to include other products.
She said the board is working with UPS Inc. to ensure that the alcohol doesn't fall into the hands of minors. An adult 21 or older must sign for the alcohol and produce valid identification. Third-party orders have to be picked up in stores.
UPS will treat the packages like any others, Witalek added. If delivery is unsuccessful three times, a customer must pick it up at a UPS facility.
"We have the same level of concern when someone purchases alcohol from a store," Witalek said. "We have every safeguard to the extent that we can to keep access from a minor. Once in the hands (of an adult), we have to hope they are as responsible as we have been in delivering the product to them."
But Joe Panzino, executive director of Onala Recovery Center in the city's West End, has concerns about people not having to leave their homes to buy alcohol.
"How do you know they're not trying to kill themselves with alcohol poisoning?" Panzino said. "Maybe they haven't been sober for a month. It's just a proliferation in our society of profit at all costs, but you have a human cost here."
State House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, a Republican from Bradford Woods who is pushing the state to privatize the state liquor store system, said he's in favor of producers being able to ship products directly to their customers.
"We don't need the LCB being the middleman," Turzai said, pointing to additional costs and markups, including the regular 6 percent sales tax and the 18 percent Johnstown Flood Tax.
Previously, only wineries that did not sell more than 200,000 gallons of alcoholic ciders, wines and wine coolers annually could ship directly to homes. The products affected by the change are those in the state stores' inventory but not found on shelves. Two examples include an Angelo Gaja Sori Tilden 2005 wine for $200, and a Casa Dragones Tequila Joven sipping tequila for $250.
On Cyber Monday, Witalek said, customers ordered 663 bottles of alcohol through the website. That's triple last year's total, when only store pickup was available. Witalek couldn't say how many of this year's orders were going directly to homes.

The elusive spectacle of mainland Australia's wet forests, the lyrebird, is steadily conquering Tasmania.
Less than 70 years after several were introduced as insurance against feared mainland extinction, the bird with the ringing song and magnificent tail is flourishing on the island.
Scientists say the lyrebird population has spread from two small pockets to blanket the vast southern forests. And the bird should colonise every reachable piece of habitat the length of the island by the end of the decade.
The bird's blessings are mixed. Its song now echoes through old-growth valleys that were once much quieter. And its powerful feet are scratching for food on soft ground that has never had such treatment before.
Evidence is emerging that lyrebirds could slowly change the ecosystem in Tasmania's World Heritage-listed forests.
Early last century the superb lyrebird's days were thought to be numbered in NSW and Victoria as the bird came under threat from habitat loss and feral predators. Naturalists saw Tasmania's deep mountain gullies and fern glades as an ideal refuge.
They transferred the first pair caught in Victoria to Mount Field in central Tasmania in 1934. Over the next 15 years, 22 were released at Mount Field, and Hastings in the far south.
A researcher for the Tasmanian Government's Nature Conservation Branch, Zoe Tanner, said these birds entered a habitat that had evolved without the pressure of their raking claws.
Gradually successive generations have spread out from the initial release sites. In her study, Ms Tanner found they now extended from the south coast's Precipitous Bluff to the northern edge of the island's central plateau.
"It seems in the last decade, they have increased rapidly," she said. "We calculate their numbers at around 8200 now. They are flourishing so much that they should reach all available habitat by 2010."
That will take the birds through rainforest and wet eucalypt forests stretching across much of the island's western half.
Ms Tanner describes the lyrebird as an "ecosystem engineer" that moves tonnes of earth each year and could, over time, alter Tasmania's mixed-forest system.

Gwyneth Paltrow Opens Up About Postpartum Depression
"[After the birth of her son, Moses,] I felt like a zombie. I couldn't access my heart. I couldn't access my emotions. I couldn't connect.It was terrible, it was the exact opposite of what had happened when Apple was born. With her, I was on cloud nine. I couldn't believe it wasn't the same. I just thought it meant I was a terrible mother and a terrible person. About four months into it, Chris [Martin of Coldplay, her husband] came to me and said, 'Something's wrong. Something's wrong. 'I kept saying, 'No, no, I'm fine.' But Chris identified it, and that sort of burst the bubble … I thought postpartum depression meant you were sobbing every single day and incapable of looking after a child. But there are different shades of it and depths of it, which is why I think it's so important for women to talk about it. It was a trying time. I felt like a failure."
– Gwyneth Paltrow opened up to Good Housekeeping about her bout with postpartum depression five years ago. Much like my own experience with depression, Gwynnie wasn't a sobbing mess every day; instead, it just felt like the color was leeched out of her life. She's super lucky her partner was able to identify her pain and support her recovery. I, for one, respect that she's willing to follow in other actresses' footsteps and talk publicly about it.

My suspicion is with RAM.
AFT0's and AFT2's are informational log entries.
They note circumstances that may or may not evolve.
Only AFT1's are worth immediate examination.
Admittedly, your excerpt was only a few lines, but I'd rarely seen a MESSAGES file pointedly mention <u>parity</u> unless something was happening with DIMMs.
I suggest you run Explorer, open a service case with Sun, and have them pore over the Explorer file.

Civil War enlisted men on both sides were responsible for the proper care and maintenance of arms, equipment, and munitions issued by their respective governments. The cost of items lost, damaged, or otherwise unaccounted for was to be deducted from the offending soldier's monthly pay. In addition, this accountability was shared with the responsible commanding officer, as stated in Article #40 of the Articles of War: "Every captain of a troop or company is charged with the arms, accouterments, ammunition, clothing or other warlike stores belonging to the troop or company under his command." The incident described below exposes the plight of a single Federal infantry lieutenant in this regard. It is presented as an instance of when adherence to the regulations was sometimes taken to the extreme. Consider the case of Lieutenant Michael Vreeland of the hard fighting 4th Michigan Infantry.
In the bloody fighting in The Wheatfield on the second day's battle at Gettysburg, the 4th Michigan was surrounded on three sides and lost its colonel and its colors in a vicious hand-to-hand melee. This action has been memorialized in modern artist Don Troiani's vividly graphic painting "Saving the Flag." Also among the casualties was Lieutenant Vreeland of Company "I," who suffered gunshot wounds to the left breast and right arm and was clubbed in the head with a musket. Only timely intervention by a Confederate officer prevented him from being bayoneted to death. In addition, all 22 men of Vreeland's company were either killed wounded, or captured.
Vreeland fortunately survived his wounds after a lengthy hospitalization. He was even commissioned Brevet Brigadier General in 1865 for his gallantry at Gettysburg. But then further troubles began, courtesy of the Federal government he had so faithfully served. Because of his infirmities, Vreeland was physically unable to complete the appropriate Form 1, listing quarterly ordinance and property returns for his company. Regulations required these reports to be filed "within twenty days after the quarter." Inasmuch as all of his men were casualties, Vreeland was charged $370 for the cost of his men's lost equipment!
It was deducted from his future pay. In his defense, Vreeland later sought to explain: "I certify on honor that on the 2nd day of July 1863 at Gettysburg Pa. The stores enumerated below were lost under the following circumstance; The right wing of the regiment to which my company belonged was surrounded by the enemy; of my company five killed, ten wounded, and the remainder taken prisoners. The arms and accouterments carried by these men were left on the field and not recovered."
The gallant Michel Vreeland passed away in 1876. Until his dying day he sought to recover the $370 from the U. S. government. His wife maintained the effort until 1900. They were unsuccessful. In more ways than one, Lieutenant Vreeland paid a heavy price in the service of his country.

Ten tips to help you manage your cash flow
Page Tools
1. Provide for tax liabilities by separating your money from the taxman's.
The best way to do this is to calculate GST and PAYG regularly and transfer it to a provisioning account. There are tools that can calculate liabilities and indicate how much money to set aside and when.
2. Predict accurately the volume and timing of expenses.
Try to forecast your expenses based on averages of previous months or corresponding periods. Keep enough money in reserve to meet these expenses. It's safer to overestimate.
3. Follow up debtors. Don't allow yourself to be a bank to your customers by extending trading terms.
Don't let unpaid invoices slide, chase up your debtors by phone and mail. Set out terms and conditions clearly on invoices and stick to them.
4. Don't pay supplier invoices before they are due.
Try to keep your business as cash positive as you can. This does not mean paying bills late, or failing to pay, but you should allow yourself the extra flexibility for as long as possible.
5. Assess how much working capital you need.
Make sure you inject appropriate start-up funds or borrow to meet business needs.
6. Don't lend or go into further overdraft unless you have a strategy for recovery.
Unless you have a sound strategy to repay funds, avoid extending an overdraft or borrowing money as it will only lead to further cash flow problems.
7. Arrange merchant facilities (e.g. EFTPOS and credit card facilities) to make it easier for customers to pay.
This benefits you and your customers, it is convenient and ensures you get paid sooner.
8. Price your product appropriately.
Make sure you take into account the time difference between product delivery and collecting payment - i.e. if your capital is tied up in a product for which payment will not be made for an extended period, you should be collecting a premium because of the negative effect on cashflow.
9. Over-budget for expenditure.
If you have cash left over, great! This way you won't be caught short.
10. Health-test your business/cash flow every day.
Review incomings and outgoings and make sure you are in a position to meet liabilities.

So Patch and I purchased Catherine for Xbox 360 yesterday and spent a good 5 hours playing(on hard mode). After 5 hours we only reached level 2 and were mentally exhausted. However, I am not saying this is a negative as it called for something that games in the past few years have been lacking, which would be skill , brainpower and teamwork with friends. Its the type of game you think about how to beat when your sitting down at the dinner table and just want to go back and beat it. (more…)

Those valves are dirty because of lousy engineering.
They're prob right about a fuel issue....ethanol and volatility of crankcase lube components; PCV.
But....that doesn't excuse BMW Engineering from addressing the issue in the design phase. USA being their largest market, they did not do due diligence re: HPFP, and valve coking issues.
HPFP was an drop dead simple fix well known to engineers for over 60 years. Took BMW 4 years and a Federal threat to make the software change and repair damaged parts....expect the same for this, coming to a head as many engines will reach 60k mi from about now, forward.
Recommend you start the ball rolling! You and others can [should] complain to NHTSA about the safety aspect - missing engine/loss of power at a critical moment - which is all they will be concerned about. It is from NHTSA that many recalls originate. The point here is to document, document, document instances of the problem to build a database.
Even if NHTSA takes no action, the volume of cases will be an attorney's wet dream. You get the point. GOOD LUCK TO YA!

Murchison and its joint venture partner in Oakajee Port & Rail (OPR), Mitsubishi, had previously agreed a state development agreement with the West Australian government that provide it to use "reasonable endeavours" to sign up the foundation customers by December 31.
In an update to the market issued on Thursday evening, Murchison said to date it had been unable to resolve commercial arrangements with the foundation customers and "the project development schedule remains uncertain".
Earlier this year, Sinosteel halted work on its $2 billion Weld Range project, due in part to the ongoing delays in development of the infrastructure at Oakajee.
On Thursday, Murchison said its exclusive rights to develop the port and rail infrastructure could lapse if the foundation customers were not signed up by the end of the year. Regardless, the state development agreement will remain in force beyond that date unless either the WA government or OPR elected to terminate the agreement.
If the contracts with customers are not signed by December 31 due to a default or breach by OPR, the WA government could exercise an option to acquire OPR's intellectual property associated with the project. But Murchison said that importantly, the failure to sign up the customers by December 31 was not in itself a breach of the state development agreement.
Murchison has been working on the engineering and design of the project since late 2007, and while a rival Chinese consortium had done some work to put in a tender, any new entrant would still be well behind OPR in terms of the work needed before reaching a final investment decision.
Murchison, which has admitted it lacks the financial resources needed to meet its share of the equity needed to develop OPR, has been undertaking a strategic review that could result in the sale of the company or part of its stake in OPR.
The miner on Thursday said it remained in "confidential and incomplete" discussions with a number of parties.
"There can be no assurances that a transaction will emerge which is either capable of being recommended to shareholders or otherwise enacted by the company," Murchison said. "Murchison will update the market as appropriate."
Murchison shares closed 2¢ lower at 27¢, having lost nearly half of their value over the last four weeks.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers, also known as dental veneers, are thin porcelain shells that are designed to fit over the surface of your teeth to create a more beautiful smile. At The Art of Dentistry, your porcelain veneers are custom-made to match the shade and shape of the adjacent teeth for natural looking, long lasting results.
What Are The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?
This popular cosmetic dentistry technique can be used to correct the appearance of a number of tooth imperfections, including:
- Cracks and chips
- Gaps
- Stains or discoloration
- Mild tooth misalignment
- Uneven or worn teeth
With porcelain veneers, Dr. Rutherford can improve the shape, length, and color of your teeth in just two visits.
Porcelain Veneers Procedure
During the consultation process, Dr. Rutherford will perform an oral examination, review your dental history, and help you decide if porcelain veneers are the best option to meet your unique needs and expectations. Once you are determined a good candidate for porcelain veneers, Dr. Rutherford will send a mold of your teeth to the dental lab where your custom-designed veneers can be made. The porcelain veneers procedure is considered a conservative treatment and typically requires very little alteration of the natural tooth structure during tooth preparation. Once your personalized veneers return from the lab, Dr. Rutherford can bond each veneer to the corresponding tooth for a durable, beautiful smile.
Porcelain Veneers Recovery & Results
After your porcelain veneers procedure, you may experience some mild tooth sensitivity; however, your teeth should return to normal within two weeks. Though porcelain veneers are made of a durable material, patients who are prone to grinding or clenching their teeth may want to protect their veneers with a night guard. With proper hygiene and routine oral exams, your porcelain veneers can keep your smile looking beautiful for years/
Contact The Art of Dentistry
To learn more about porcelain veneers, please contact The Art of Dentistry today. A member of our staff will be happy to provide you with more information or schedule you a consultation with Dr. Rutherford.

1. Implement treatment even if they do not seem motivated or bothered by the wetting.
Sometimes children, age 10-teen, feel hopeless that there is a solution. You may have already unsuccessfully tried some things, such as limiting night fluids, urinating twice before bed, setting an alarm clock, or medications. Confidence can be eroded as kids get older and "nothing seems to work". Your child might act like they don't care to protect themselves from further disappointment. Well-meaning relatives and even doctors may suggest no treatment; that you just wait "until they outgrow it".
2. They do not wet on purpose and are unaware when the wetting occurs.
The good news is that moisture sensing bedwetting alarms work as effectively in pre-teens and teens as they do in younger children. The sound and/or vibratory alert happens when wetting occurs. This enables the child to finally be able to make that brain-bladder connection.
It usually takes teens a little longer to get to complete dryness, but a few extra weeks to change a behavior that has been going on for years is quite tolerable. I've found that the key to success for teens and older children is to use an alarm that is easy to use and acceptable to them. The wireless alarms, like the Rodger wireless or Malem wireless, are easy to use and sound from across the room. The user must get out of bed to turn the annoying sound off.
It is worthwhile is re-try using a bedwetting alarm, even if your child used one at a younger age. Trying a different style, at a different age, may give different results.
3. Encourage your child to be responsible about using and responding to the alarm, but realize that parents play a big role, especially in the beginning.
Your son or daughter should willingly and consistently wear their alarm every night. It can be part of the nightly routine, just like urinating twice and brushing their teeth. As well-intentioned as he or she might be, many older kids just do not hear the loud alarm or cannot think through what to do next. Parents' role is to go to their room, remind them that their alarm is sounding and make sure they turn off the alarm and walk to the bathroom. The quicker they learn how to respond to the bedwetting alarm, the more quickly they will be on the road to dryness.
The wireless alarms feature an additional receiver that can be purchased for the parent's room. It sounds at the same time as the one in the child's room and can transmit up to 75 feet.

Open Letter: Big Bust Shame
Dear World (but Most Especially ABC & Fox):
This isn't so much about showing skin on plus size models as it is about showing cleavage of plus size models. Because, in our society, it is often perfectly acceptable for an A or B cup to wear tops that just barely cover their nipples, but should a lady with a larger cup size wear a neckline even hinting a cleavage line, suddenly we're up in arms about 'appropriateness'?
The size of my breasts are indeed larger than average, but that does make them 'excessive' as in 'excessively tawdry'. My breasts, by virtue of their relative size, are no more inherently sexual than smaller ones, despite popular opinion. And yet I am constantly accosted by the 'appropriate' police when it comes to clothing, especially in office and professional situations while my small-breasted colleagues receive naught but praise for necklines that cut far, far deeper and hide far, far less than anything I've ever worn (including many of my bras). I have even been asked at pool sides when wearing a bathing suit top that covers a significantly higher ratio breast than the average bikini top in the area to 'cover up' and 'be modest', as if the very existence of breasts the size and shape of mine is an offense.
My breasts are not — ARE NOT — offensive. They are not lewd or tawdry or shameful. Suggesting otherwise, however, is incredibly offensive.
Also? Since we're having a little breast rant right now, a few other things I'd like to 'get off my chest' so to speak:
- Stop STOP STOP asking me if my breasts are 'real'. Or 'natural'. Especially in that little *winkwinknodnod* way that suggests whatever I say you've already made up your mind.
- When you ask me my bra size and I tell you, BELIEVE ME. I am NOT lying to you when I say I'm a 32G/H. I am not trying to scandalize you or show off. Educate yourself about bra sizing: it is not what you think it is. A 32D and a 38D are absolutely NOT the same cup size with a bigger band. The letter in a bra size is a ratio indicator, not a static or interchangable cup size with a standard volume.
- If you're going to talk about 'appropriateness' to a large-busted woman, examine your hypocrisy first. Compare what they're wearing to what the small-breasted women are wearing (especially in the office, where this sort of oversexualized shaming of large-busted women is rampant).
- Stop telling me how 'lucky' I am. Especially when I talk about my chronic back pain, about the outrageous cost of bras that fit me (when and if I can find them at all), or about a social and retail industry that fetishizes my body but does not actually make clothing that fits me. From where I stand, your B or C cup seems pretty 'lucky'.
- The next person who tells me I have the 'breasts of a porn star' is going to get kicked. Hard. Male or female. If you are male, you're gonna get kicked in the groin.
The Lane Bryant commercial is no more sexualized or outrageous than a Victoria Secret ad. Anyone who says it is is a hypocrite. Check them out side by side:
Go ahead now and tell me which ad is too sexual. Breasts are breasts: the only sexual scales relevant to them are ones of personal preference.
Tired of the big-bust shame,
One Comment to post "Open Letter: Big Bust Shame"
[…] busts lacking cleavage are left out of participating. (Oh hey, didn't I just post about social sexualization of large breasts vs. small breasts the other day? Breast-size shame goes both ways, though it's a different brand of shame for my small-busted […]

Coach Tim Horsmon announced the Terrapins women's volleyball team's incoming freshman class today. Setters Julia Anderson and Whitney Craigo, middle blockers Ashlyn MacGregor and Chavi St. Hill, defensive specialist Jessica Ward and outside hitter Alex Brown will join the Terps next season.
"We are excited about this group of athletes," Horsmon said in a statement. "I believe we have an athletic group of volleyball players that still have a lot of room to grow. We will be as deep as I can remember our team being and will be competitive at every position in our own gym."
Horsman expects St. Hill to compete for playing time right away. The West Orange, N.J., native was a first team all-conference selection as a junior and senior, and she served as team captain her senior year.
"Chavi is a quick jumper who covers a lot of ground laterally," Horsmon said in the statement. "We're excited about the depth we've created in the middle position and it should play out to be a competitive position in the gym."
Ward, an The Owings native, helped Northern reach the south regional final in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The converted setter will look to improve the squad's defensive prowess. The Terps ranked ninth in the conference in opponent hitting percentage in 2012.
"I have watched (Jess) the last few years through our camps," Horsmon said in the statement. "She is great teammate and leader by example. Jess converted from setter to defensive specialist and is still learning the nuances of her new position, but is extremely quick and will not let the ball hit the floor."
The Terps finished 17-15 last year, good for eighth in the ACC. This six-member recruiting class will be counted on to fill the void left by the two graduating seniors, middle blocker Caitlin Adams and setter Remy McBain. McBain, who ranks fifth on the Terrapins volleyball team's career assist list, moved on to play professional in Puerto Rico for the Liga de Voleibol Superior Femenino.
The Terps open the 2013 campaign at George Washington on Aug. 30 in the GW/Nike Invitational.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello my name is Steve W, is this project alt hooked to a battery source also, wired up?
we have attached the positive lead to a 12volt deep-cycle battery. when i check the voltage, its reading 12.5 which is coming from the battery. there is also a voltage regulator on the alternator which I'm not using. Should I be?
What is the alt you are using, Ford, chevy ect.?
not sure. we purchased it @ autozone because it was the cheapest. its a valuecraft. #7127. it reads delco-bemy on the alternator
Ok, let me see if I can find some info how this is wired, how many total wires are hooked up now?
just the positive to the positive of the battery and the negative post of the battery to a ground.
Ok, give me couple minutes
ok :)
I am not having much luck finding a diagram, how many terminals on the alt and are they marked?
there is just the one red marked positive post. no connections for a negative and a 2 pronged voltage regulator built in on top.
Does the 2 prong say I or B?
not that i can see... i dont see an I or B.
Does it look like this?
yes it looks like the 10Si
Ok, good
You can wire all three of the terminals together, hook to the output of the alt along with the 2 terminals to the positive battery wire, just dont leave them all hooked up overnight or it will run your battery down. I will try to look for a printable diagram for you so you know how it works in the car. Another thing, when you get this alt turned on ready to charge you will know it because I don't think you will be able to pedal it, these alt's pull alot of energy required to turn them, give me a few minutes and hopefully I can give you some more info. Hopefully everything will work ok.
what i want to do is measure the voltage coming out of the alternator while I'm pedalling and to light up a bulb which will fluctuate as i pedal faster and slower. i dont want my power to come out of the battery for this part of the experiment. i want it to come out of the alternator.
Here is a car wiring diagram, notice how all the terminal are 12 volts, normally there is a ignition switched wire to turn on and off alt. I am not sure if you were going to install a switch or just hook and unhook.
I see, you might be better off going to a cycle shop and look for a wheel mounted generator. Let me look online to see if I can find what I am talking about.
Check this out, maybe a idea here
one last question. Do you have any idea how many volts i should be producing while pedalling? again, we are only getting 1.5 volts pedalling in high gear on the 10 speed.
I am afraid with a alt you won't be able to pedal it.
With a generator, the faster you pedal the more output you have, depends on the generator how many volts, with a alt max is 14.4 volts.
we were going with a dc generator but it was too expensive ($400) thats why i went with a car alternator which had been used in previous experiments i had reviewed online.
Here is a deal that may make your parents day, see if this looks like something you might try.
Wiring diagram click here Here is how the 10si alt is wired in a car.
Let me know what you think or if you have any more questions, Thanks Steve W

Alfa Romeo 4C Confirmed for 2013 Geneva Auto Show
Talking with AutoGuide, Fiat spokesman Giorgio Gianuzzi has confirmed that the Alfa Romeo 4C will bow at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show.
The car will herald Alfa Romeo's return to the American market, which should be sometime in 2014.
The 4C is a lightweight sports car that runs with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine said to make around 300 hp, and weighs just 1,980 lbs. thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber and aluminium. It is supposed to be a return to Alfa's roots as a sports car manufacturer, and will use a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox to get power to the ground. A 0-60 mph sprint time of just 4.5 seconds should be possible.
The 4C is will launch with four other Alfa Romeo cars here in America, including a roadster, a small CUV, and a Dodge Dart sized sedan. It will be the brand's halo sports car in the U.S.

The training regulator has put education businesses on notice as it embarks on a campaign of random audits and a blitz on false advertising to tackle persistent concerns about quality.
Registered training organisations (RTOs) offering courses in the construction and aged care industries are being targeted by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) in coming months. ASQA chief commissioner Chris Robinson said about 5 per cent of providers in those industries would be randomly audited.
ASQA will also scrutinise at least 500 provider websites to identify false marketing claims, such as being able to gain a qualification in an impossibly short time. Heavy discounts and gimmicky giveaways will also be examined.
"I call them too good to be true offers, like guarantees of passes and jobs," Mr Robinson said.
The crackdown also aims to catch businesses claiming to be authorised vocational education and training providers when they do not have the requisite approvals.
ASQA has assumed responsibility for all but 900 of the nearly 5000 RTOs in operation nationally. It was set up 18 months ago by the federal government to address concerns from business about the quality of training providers, as well as to tackle issues brought to a head by visa rorts involving Indian students.
ASQA has beefed-up powers to impose penalties, issue fines and pursue criminal and civil court action. So far, commissioners have ordered the cancellation of registration of 24 providers, suspended a further 22 and issued 91 written notices of intention to cancel or suspend.
Hundreds of applications for new RTOs, re-registration of existing providers and the altering or addition of courses have also been rejected.
Random audits represent a departure from the regulator's usual approach, which targets RTOs considered to be high-risk.
White cards are mandatory to prove base-level knowledge of occupational health and safety, but can be obtained online in a matter of hours for as little as $35.
Aged care training has also been identified by the Productivity Commission as a key area of concern. Mr Robinson said: "Our work to date in that industry would suggest that is the case; there has certainly been some serious non-compliance we've uncovered."

In short
Nicéphore Niépce Museum Looking For A New Directeur
Winners of the LensCulture and Magnum Photography Prize Announced
Record Auctions for Wolfgang Tillmans
In Tanu Gago's new body of work "Tama'ita'i Pasifika Mao'i" commissioned by the 2014 Auckland Photography Festival, this New Zealand artist challenges how Pacific women are represented with the desire to move imagery away from cultural stereotypes. Promulgated by the media and in advertising images Pacific women, and men, tend to be portrayed as symbols of Pacific tourism, or as living on the margins of contemporary society. Both are narrow views that Gago is keen to expunge.
Gago says in reflecting on the universal images of the Maori Pacific experience "the one thing I've noticed is that Maori Pacific people are always captured in a moment of extreme cultural expression. We are always overtly expressing our culture in costume or dance and rarely are we shown in an everyday setting. There is still a real Colonial perspective on the Pacific experience in New Zealand and we are represented as working class, you never see academics or lawyers for example. As an ideological transmission of culture I've always found that problematic and disingenuous. In building my own cultural language it has been really important to convey authentic experiences where we are not relegated to a decoration. To show diversity and that we are modern, complex and sophisticated".
Having trained in film studies, Gago tells me he has chosen to work with still photography rather than the moving image to investigate the notion of the Pacific identity in visual culture. "I am not in a rush to make a film. Right now I want to look at the still narrative to develop my own visual and cultural language. I'm really interested in this idea of cultural framing especially in relation to Maori and Pacific and New Zealand identities, and what that could possibly look like. Over the last four years I've spent that brief period developing my own cultural framing and trying to figure out how to build a narrative within the still frame; something that is equally complex and layered as say a video or a film with the intention of arriving at film practice sometime in the future".
He says taking a slower approach is necessary as the work is quite "personal and intimate and it deals with the politics of real living people…sometimes you just can't rush that process. It takes a lot of getting to know your subjects and building relationships and connections with them because I am basically capturing their identity. For me it has to be a meaningful experience".
Currently the focus is on his peers, he is 30 years old, and younger people because he feels their identity is underrepresented in the broader understanding of Pacific culture. "These kids are building their identities from scratch because they are three generations removed from the Pacific. They don't always necessarily grow up learning their language or being embedded in the cultural framework. I am interested in that for the moment".
But he has ideas to also pursue stories that investigate the generation of his parents. Gago is Samoan, but was adopted by an Anglo New Zealand family when he was a child. In many ways his artistic practice is also a personal exploration of his birth parents' culture and he is able to approach the subject matter from a duality of cultural perspectives. "I grew up in a very euro-centric Kiwi family and thought of myself as a Kiwi throughout my teenage years. I didn't really access my cultural heritage until I was an adult".
The commission for the Auckland Festival is the first time Gago has photographed the women in his Pacific family and community. He says it is a natural progression from his earlier work dealing with masculine identities, and also queer identity in the Pacific, which he says is even more invisible within Pacific cultural representation.
"To balance out the narrative I wanted to look at the women in my family. I talked to a lot of people about what they imagine the Pacific experience is for women. Many said 'oh aren't they unemployed, with like nine kids sitting at home wearing Mena dresses and huge flowers behind their ears! That's what people outside of my community think, and that's their lasting image, which is perpetuated by advertising and national rhetoric that really promotes New Zealand as being a Pacific country and the women as decorations."
He says the reference to the Mena dress really impacted him as these dresses are extremely expensive and many families can't afford them; the association rankled him enough that he decided to wrap one of his subjects in a large swathe of floral fabric as a kind of protest against the ridiculous assumptions and the ignorance around the Pacific culture.
During our Skype interview I share the news with Gago that the Festival's Director Julia Durkin had told me she thought his work was the 'best commissioned piece' so far. "That's awesome, I'm really flattered. I didn't realise how happy they were with the work. This is the first I've heard that, so thank you. I don't know if you can tell, but I'm kind of blushing," he smiles shyly.
In closing Gago says he hopes his work will create a point of reference for future generations. "I hope when they look back they will know where they came from and what the period and the Pacific experience looked like. I hope that anyone who comes to the show who is Maori Polynesian can see themselves reflected in a genuine and positive manner. And anyone who isn't achieves that insight as well and an understanding of what Pacific identity is".
