As the golden days of summer begin to fade, thoughts often turn to the last sun-ripened tomatoes and bringing in the harvest. But if you or someone you know are among the more than 26 million Americans who suffer from seasonal allergies (or the estimated 50 million who suffer from all types of allergies), you may be focused more on pollen counts, the first freeze, and stocking up on tissues and allergy meds than on harvesting tomatoes.
Members of the sniffling, sneezing and itching allergy demographic typically rely on numerous drugs and sprays for relief — often with mixed results. Many pharmaceutical treatments relieve sneezing and itching, but do little to treat congestion, and vice versa. In fact, at a recent meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Dr. William E. Berger reported that nearly a third of allergy patients think their medications don't work. Plus, pharmaceutical remedies are often expensive and frequently come with unwanted side effects, such as drowsiness and nasal irritation. The sedative effects of these drugs can impair driving ability and cause a mental disconnect that many users find irritating.
Annual bouts with pollen aren't just uncomfortable, they also take a toll on mental well-being. Studies have shown that during ragweed season, allergy sufferers often experience a general sense of fatigue — especially mental fatigue — and are more prone to feelings of sadness. People who suffer from allergies also are up to 14 times more likely to experience migraine headaches than those who don't have allergies. (To find out the current pollen levels in your area, check out the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology or Pollen.com.)
Given these statistics, you might want to pull the covers over your head and wait until the whole season blows over. But it is possible to step outdoors safely without first loading up on allergy medications, even when ragweed is in full bloom. Here are several natural allergy remedies that are medically proven to help control the condition so you can breathe easier, even when pollen counts are at their worst.
When you understand what's happening during allergy attacks, treating them naturally seems like plain common sense. First, picture a grain of pollen — it looks something like a spiny sea urchin (see photo 3 in Image Gallery). Now imagine this prickly invader entering your nasal passages and latching onto soft mucous membranes. These mucous membranes line our bronchial and nasal passages and contain immune cells, called mast cells, which are loaded with histamines. Receptors sit on top of these mast cells, and when an allergen trigger — such as pollen, mold or pet dander — lands on top of the receptor, it alerts the mast cells, which respond by releasing histamine and other chemicals. The histamine initiates a series of reactions designed to help the body get rid of the intruder, including sneezing, watery eyes and itching. For some people, particularly those with asthma, this reaction may also include swelling in the bronchial tubes that makes it difficult to breathe.
Most allergy medications attempt to treat the symptoms your body instigates to get rid of the allergen. But doesn't it make more sense to shore up your defenses before your body goes into attack mode? Many of the natural remedies discussed below are designed to prevent a reaction before it occurs.
A few minor lifestyle changes also can go a long way toward keeping symptoms under control:
Here are more things that can help head off allergies before they start, as well as some drug-free ways to treat symptoms when they do arise.
Neti Pots. What could be simpler than rinsing away allergens with saltwater? Neti pots, small vessels shaped like Aladdin's lamp (see the Image Gallery), have been used in India for thousands of years to flush the sinuses and keep them clear. It's an idea that takes some getting used to for most Westerners, but it's a bit like using nasal spray. A little douse of saltwater can rinse away those prickly pollen grains and help treat allergies and other forms of sinus congestion.
Just last year, an Italian study published in the International Archives of Allergy and Immunology found that nasal flushing was a mild and effective way to treat seasonal allergies in children, and markedly reduced their use of antihistamines.
You could simply use your cupped hand instead of a neti pot to rinse sinuses, but netis are inexpensive, and many people find them much easier to use. To flush your sinuses, mix a quarter to a half teaspoon of noniodized table salt into a cup of lukewarm water and pour it into the pot. (You can adjust the amount of salt, depending on what feels most comfortable.) Lean over a sink with your head slightly cocked to one side, then put the spout of the neti into one nostril and allow the water to drain out the other nostril. Use about half of the solution, then repeat on the other side, tilting your head the opposite way. Gently blow out each nostril to clear them completely. Neti pots are widely available online and at natural food stores. Use your pot about twice a day during allergy season, especially in the morning and after spending time outdoors. You also can use a neti pot before bed to prevent snoring caused by allergies and promote optimal overnight breathing.
Quercetin. A natural plant-derived compound called a bioflavonoid, quercetin helps stabilize mast cells and prevents them from releasing histamine. Quercetin also is a natural antioxidant that helps mop up molecules called free radicals that cause cell damage, which can lead to cancer. Citrus fruits, onions, apples, parsley, tea, tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce and wine are naturally high in quercetin, but allergy sufferers will most likely need to use supplements to build up enough of this compound to prevent attacks. The recommended dosage is about 1,000 milligrams a day, taken between meals. It's best to start treatment six weeks before allergy season. Those with liver disease shouldn't use quercetin, so please consult your doctor before using this or any other supplement — especially if you are pregnant or nursing.
Allergy-Fighting Foods. A German study, published in the journal Allergy, found that participants who ate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to suffer allergy symptoms than those who didn't regularly eat these foods. Omega-3s help fight inflammation and can be found in cold-water fish, walnuts and flaxseed oil, as well as grass-fed meat and eggs.
To help keep airways clear when pollen counts are high, add a dash of horseradish, chili peppers or hot mustard to your food — all act as natural, temporary decongestants. It's also a good idea to avoid foods that you're slightly allergic to until the air clears. Fighting off allergies can render the body hypersensitive to those foods, causing more severe reactions than usual.
Stinging Nettle. If you decide you need an antihistamine but want a natural option, stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) behaves in much the same way as many of the drugs sold to treat allergies, but without the unwanted side effects of dry mouth and drowsiness. Nettle actually inhibits the body's ability to produce histamine. It's a common weed in many parts of the United States, but the most practical medicinal form is a freeze-dried extract of the leaves sold in capsules. Studies have shown that taking about 300 milligrams daily will offer relief for most people, although the effects may last only a few hours. You also can make your own tinctures or teas with stinging nettle. (Contact with the stinging hairs on fresh nettle can cause skin inflammation, so wear protective gloves when handling it.) For more on making your own herbal remedies, see Richo Cech's Making Plant Medicine (Horizon Herbs, 2000).
Butterbur. Derived from a common weed in Europe, butterbur (Petasites hybridus) is another alternative to antihistamines, though it may be hard to find in the United States. In the days before refrigeration, its broad, floppy leaves were used to wrap butter during warm spells, hence the name butterbur. A Swiss study, published in British Journal of Medicine, found that butterbur was as effective as the drug cetirizine, the active ingredient in Zyrtec. Even though cetirizine is supposed to be a nonsedative antihistamine, researchers reported that it did cause drowsiness, though butterbur did not. Participants in the study took 32 milligrams of butterbur a day, divided into four doses. A word of caution though — butterbur is in the same family as ragweed, so it could worsen allergy symptoms in some cases. Effects of taking butterbur over a long period of time also are unknown.

Sublingual Immunotherapy. Specific immunotherapy, otherwise known as allergy shots, has been used widely to inject patients with diluted doses of certain allergens to help build immunity over time. However, allergy shots can take three to five years to be effective, and a small percentage of people suffer severe reactions to this treatment. Though it remains popular in North America, the practice fell out of favor in the United Kingdom during the late 1980s, when strict limitations were imposed after several adverse reactions occurred.
New studies have found a gentler way to acclimate the body to pollen and other allergens. The latest form of this therapy is called sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), which has been used for the past 20 years in Europe. In SLIT treatments, patients put drops of a very small dose of the allergen (initially a 1:1,000 dilution) under the tongue for two minutes, then swallow. The daily therapy begins before peak pollen season for seasonal allergy sufferers, but also can be used to treat year-round allergies, though treatment must be specific to the type of allergen.
A recent study in the United Kingdom found that patients who used SLIT for two years were nearly seven times less likely to suffer runny noses, and almost three times less likely to experience sneezing, than those who took a placebo. Because an allergy extract has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States, check with your doctor and insurance provider before considering SLIT therapy.
Whether you suffer from seasonal or ongoing allergies, these natural remedies should let you get out there and harvest those late tomatoes!
Getting a cure for HIV is a powerful concept, often spoken of as the Holy Grail of HIV research. Although effective anti-HIV drugs have transformed HIV into a chronic manageable condition – a condition you live with, rather than die from – taking life-long therapy is a very different proposition to being definitively cured. I put it to the whole human race that there is an affordable, scalable HIV cure that worked as well as would put the global eradication of new HIV infections within reach, while also transforming the lives of those now living with the virus. Given the effectiveness of this drug in both treating and preventing HIV infection, I will say to everyone reading this, that i am a living witness to it. Unlike fraudsters and online scammers who will play you and leave you frustrated with lose of money and hope, this drug cost less and it is worth a try. If you are interested in getting cured of your own illness, Below is the communication link of the doctor who has the new medicine which i took that got me cure.

Thanks gandt lover for your post. i huff been using this balm and spray now and it is wurking better than anythin else.
Thanks for this article I really enjoyed it. You did not mention that natural sprays can be effective for allergies. I have allergies caused by mold and pollen and get great relief from all of my symptoms using a sinubalm and sinusoothe combination. The sinublam is a barrier and the sinusoothe washes away the mold and pollen and helps with the symptoms. I have spent many years looking for a solution to my allergies and i am now quite happy.
Now that's more like it! Awesome!

Very informative! I used a neti pot a few times and it was helpful. The allergy drops not so much. I read the comments and I will try to ingest honey on a daily basis and see how it goes. http://healthcareincomes.com/how-much-does-an-allergist-make/ For anyone looking to see how much it would be for an allergist to help you fix this in a professional setting, check out that article. It's amazing the business of allergies is!

Thanks for the article. I have been using natural skin care products for many years and i do agree with you.
Thanks for the article. I have been using natural skin care products for many years and i do agree with you.
My family and I take a natural herbal detox product a few times a year. Ever since we started we are all allergy FREE. I personally was one of the worst allergy suffer I knew. Thank god I found this product
I like to use apple cider vinegar for a range of issues like dandruff, stomach issues, and allergies. I make a cold funky cider from apple cider vinegar, raw honey, cinnamon, coconut water, and ice.
Essential oils are another great natural solution for allergies. I personally have benefited greatly from using them for my seasonal and indoor allergies. I've been an allergy suffered all my life and have tried nearly everything available in a store (not kidding). It wasn't until I tried essential oils that I found relief ... and it has even helped control my immuno-response so that I hardly have to use essential oils for allergies anymore! I share my story in more detail on my blog if you want to read what oils I've used and how I use them for allergies.

Couldn't agree more with jderin - The Lung Cleaner is the best thing around for allergies. And colds. And various other respiratory illnesses.
One natural remedy that wasn't listed here but that has been used as an effective combative against allergies for centuries is eucalyptus oil. Indigenous tribes in Australia, where I am from, swear by it and it is finally catching on mainstream. The lung cleaner is one product to my knowledge that has vaporized eucalyptus oil and put it into an all-natural, organic inhaler - along with salt and water. Easier and more convenient than a Neti Pot, and much safer and overall better for you body than pharmaceutical products and nasal sprays. There is more about it here: http://www.motherearthnews.com/natural-health/the-lung-cleaner-zp0.aspx#axzz2wL7DO5b3
JK i have never used a Neti Pot, but i flush my sinus at the first moment of a Headache, i have an open sinus. I use a squeeze bottle with a salt solution. I make my own solution a pinch of salt, baking soda, and distilled water. Taste it so how strong, I like to warm my water fist not hot. This solution does help my sinus attack, and it also does well to flush out the dust and junk. Good Luck, Yani PS remember it will be startling at first kind of like snorting a batch of sea water when swimming.
I've never used a neti pot - I've been scared of the idea of putting water in my nose. Anyone else out there braver than I am who can sway me into trying it?
Welcome. The ACADEMIC MEDICINE HAS NO KNOWLEDGE. In RESULT INSTEAD OF MEDICINE HEALTH CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AND be able to cause and cure a disease, DESTROYS PEOPLE physically and mentally, and multiplying DISEASE.In the application of proper nutrition, allergic diseases can not be. The cause of food allergy is causing poor nutrition that your body can not break down into individual amino acids of protein consumed. For this you need energy and a good energy, and the missing. Proteins are not broken until the end, they may even be absorbed in its entirety or in large parts of which the body recognizes as foreign proteins and produces antibodies against them, which results in allergies and other allergic diseases. Patients with other types of allergies are a flaw in the body, which causes proteins such as grass pollen, mites, animal dander, or other allergens can cause symptoms of allergic diseases. The reason for this flaw is poor nutrition. For instance, if your dog's coat was the actual cause of asthma or other allergic diseases are those diseases should be sick all household members in contact with the hair of the dog. Scald in boiling water 100 people will in any similar symptoms. The encounter of 100 people with grass pollen allergic symptoms result from several people already sensitized. Therefore, there is a specific allergen causing the allergic diseases included, and the patient body a particular property, which is not in a healthy. This flaw is the cause allergies and are caused by incorrect nutrition. The doctors can not cure, for this must guess. Allergies cure completely, only one way. firstname.lastname@example.com Pozdrwaiam.
Hi my name is Robert 44 yrs old. it is about 3 months i have swollen skin hot spot itching and red symptoms it ravels around my body like forehead , arm ,under feet, neck, i am woory about what is happening to me ,could you help me in this regard thanks Happy new year 2014
My allergist suggested that I use purified water and packets of pharma-grade salt to rinse once a day, best advice ever ... ...and only about $10 per year! All that $$, those meds, those landfill-bound disposable bottles -- goodbye! Amazon neilmed and ahr for the squeeze bottles. (I nuke the bottle for about 20 seconds beforehand to warm it up -- takes 5 -10 seconds per nostril).
My allergist gave me a sample of Sinol Nasal Spray for my chronic allergic rhinitis. The product is all natural and the first clinically proven all natural, OTC nasal spray for my condition. I am so happy with this product and glad to be off the steroid which is prescribed to me each spring. Sinol relieves my allergy symptoms quickly and I can use it as I need it throughout the day. Highly recommended.
Use caution in some areas when you use the nasal rinse. Alerts in some southern areas warn of an amoeba present in water, even tap water, that can travel to the brain and cause death. The amoeba enters the body through mucous membranes and is not curable. I searched to verify, and found nothing to debunk the claim. We now use purchased distilled water to be safer.
http://bit.ly/17TPgsq I have found a remedy for my allergies!
I finally got rid of my allergies. It turns out they were caused by particles in the air. I got a system from Chicago Air Purification and it solved my allergy issues. I highly recommend them. Check out their site at http://www.chicagoairpurification.com/
A very good article on how to combat allergies. One should also try a combination of ayurvedic herbs and homoeopathic remedies which are 100% natural, free from side effects. These remedies work to give relief by easing symptoms of allergic reactions, using advanced biotechnology techniques to give body information on the substances it is allergic to thus teaching optimal reaction to allergens, helping your body produce immunoglobulins thus inducing lasting immunity and getting your glands, organs and secretions involved in allergic reactions to return to harmony. Some of the frequently used remedies are OM28 AB formula and Alclearize.
Eat honey from your region - a spoon a day.
Love your tips!
My allergies have been to Goldenrod and pollens in general. I have been having good luck with taking vitamin C. A couple of smaller doses a day seems to work for me. I would also consider any of the vitamins or herbs that boost my immune system.
I have severe seasonal and pet (cat) allergies. I have used Super OPC Grapeseed Extract that I buy on I healthtree.com for years. I take it year round and it is so wonderful at controlling my histamine response. I've found if I can keep my allergies under control I can keep my asthma under control also. I have also found fish oil extremely beneficial in controlling my asthma and am a new fan of flax seed. I am a new person inside (healthy bm every morning) and very mild hot flashes as I experience menopause. I have read a lot on allergies and based on what I've read I think they're caused by antibiotics taken in childhood destroying the good bacteria in the gut. Be very careful with antibiotics. They are devistating to the body.
Goldenrod tincture- seasonal and cat. Isn't it interesting how prolifically Goldenrod grows during fall allergy season?(this is not ragweed) it seems to me as if Mother Nature is saying, "Here you go, this will help!" Also, I've noticed that people "develop" allergies as adults. I think this is more due to the lack of wellness maintenance. Similarly in a vehicle, when it is not maintained and cleaned with oil changes and such, junk builds up. I find it to be the same with our bodies. Regular, safe detoxing helps prevent many ailments. Simply drinking plenty of clean water is a way to detox the body!
Great article! All other prescriptions are free except monthly allergy meds for my two teenage kids. Will have them try some of these methods. Also living with adult onset food allergies for the last year, will do more research on sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) because I have strawberries and banana trees growing around our house that I'd love to be able to eat again!!!
A dehumidifier really helped my families allergies. We purchased ours from http://simplydehumidifiers.com and are pleased. We are looking into buying an air purifier next. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Hyper-response to a pollen or any other natural substance is not normal. All the stated remedies attempt to treat the symptoms of allergies and not the cause, which is a compromised immune system. Outlining methods to improve immune function would result in a cure and not just a band aide.
While all of the above suggestions sound great, they all seem to refer to pollens inthe air. Have any of you found these natural remedies to be useful for allergies to cats and dogs, but mostly cats. Any suggestions besides a HePA filter would be greatly appreciated.
Dr Andrew Weil has been advocating nasal douching for at least 20 years. The simplest method is to wet a paper towel or rag, put in the entrance to your nose, then squeeze your nose which will inject a little water into the appropriate area. There are also many salt water preparations in most drugstores that come in little squeeze bottles. I used to have seasonal allergies. I started taking 1200mgs fish oil 3 times a day,eating walnuts and putting flax in my steel cut oats. Presto, no more allergies.
Sublingual immunotherapy drops have been used since at least the '80s in Canada by Clinical Ecologists. When I suffered badly from allergies and chemical sensitivities back then and was living in Ontario, I used them. No insurance will cover them, unfortunately, but they work quite well.
I Have found over the years drinking Goats Milk or cows Milk from animals that have been grass fed or have eaten the offending vegitation. Drank over time(years) has reduced my allergies greatly..
Tea with wild chamomile, lemon balm, natural local honey, and dandelion root/leaves/blossoms. The other stuff treats nasal and respiratory stuff, but the honey acts to build up an immunity to the pollens.
I also have recently discovered nasal irrigation. However the product that my doctor recommended was Nasopure. It has helped me very much and I no longer get frequent colds. Unlike other products Nasopure allows you to be upright during the rinse which allows for a more effective flush. Their website www.nasopure.com is very informative too.

Iterative EEG-based Natural Image Search under RSVP
This work extends previous studies on using EEG decoding for automatic image retrieval. We propose an iterative way to integrate the information obtained from the EEG decoding and image processing methods. In the light of real-world BCI applications, we demonstrated that a limited number of EEG channels provide sufficient information about the subject's preference to be exploited in image retrieval by the proposed synergistic scenario. Furthermore, to meet a more realistic scenario we used natural images (i.e., images of objects in their natural environment).

The 8-pm slot – both on weekdays and weekends, suddenly seems to attract substantial actions. While Sony Entertainment Television has planned to introduce two new initiatives in its 8 pm to 9 pm band in weekdays, STAR India gets ready to launch a new half-hour daily, 'Dekho, Magar Pyaar Se' for the 8-pm slot. Interestingly, both the channels had planned for a mid-July launch of their new shows.
'Dekho…' is an adaptation, made for light viewing, without a focus on any particular age group. The STAR Plus 8-pm band consists of half-hour weeklies, which have delivered for the channel. All these lead to the well-established 'Kasautii Zindagi Kay' at 8.30 pm. Launch of the new show would take the channel to replace all these weeklies. While the new show wraps up three shows – 'Krishna Arjun', 'Khichdi' and 'Kyun Hota Hai Pyaar', 'Sonpari' moves to a weekend 7.30-pm slot.
In its current stage on Indian television, the 8-pm band cannot be considered as a very strong one. "It is one of the more fickle bands," believes Gautam Rajagopal of Starcom. Ratings thrown up endorse his view. If the weekly average channel share for the CS 4+ is seen in the Hindi speaking markets, in the running year itself, mass entertainment has recorded a plunge.
In the period between week 1 to 11, STAR has played anywhere between a TVR of 6.53 and 8.48. However, the maximum dip it has recorded after that period is 5.96. The channel's graph steadily declines. Similar is the case with Sony. While until week 9, Sony gives Zee TV a fight for the number-two slot, following that it is the constant number three, with the exception of week 23 and 25, when both Sony and Zee registered similar figures.
"The band is not really a weak one," says Nandini Dias, National Media Director, Interface Communication, "But the other bands are so strong and since TV viewing habit is pushed at later hours with 'Kahaani…' and 'Kyunki….' eyeballs here have steadily decreased."
However, it is after a considerable time that Sony and STAR are launching new shows in the same slot. As was the case with 'Ye Meri Life Hai', where Sony had moved the planned launch date from April 26 to May 3, for the two new serials also, the channel has deferred the launch time from mid-July to early August, and so has STAR.
"The August launch makes sense from advertising point of view. The channel will have a fair idea of which of their respective programmes is delivering by festive season and they know what they will market and how will they charge their properties in that period," explains Dias.
Both the stripped programmes either would hit the tube on the same day or a week before or after the other. "I don't think which one comes in first really makes the difference," says Rajagopal, "What matters is the content. If it's good enough, irrespective of the channel, the audience will stay."
With STAR inducing change in its programming and Sony bringing in more original content, the development of the 8-pm slot would be meaningful for Indian television. Needless to say that with both the shows launching at the same time and the given potential of the slot, it would be interesting to see what kind of audience will the channels be able to woo.

Hemingway: The Grace & the Pressure
Born more than a hundred years ago, Hemingway's reputation shows no sign of abating, despite those revisionist critics who accuse him of having a one-dimensional approach to life. A writer for the ages, his legacy includes at least three classic novels and a distinctive narrative style which, in his own words, 'doesn't go bad afterwards'. HEMINGWAY: THE GRACE AND THE PRESSURE reveals the public and the private man in the tangled skein that was his life. We have the bragging, brawling Hemingway, the self-indulgent poseur with his love of bullfighting, boxing and hunting, but also the man who hid behind these many masks. A man who, in the end, destroyed himself under the weight of his own impossible expectations.

Controlled burn blows in smoke
Published: Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 12:13 a.m.
The smoke that blew into Alachua County and other parts of North Central Florida Saturday was from a controlled burn in the Osceola National Forest in Columbia and Baker counties and posed no danger, according to the Florida Division of Forestry.
Saturday's controlled burn was one of several in the Osceola and Ocala national forests recently that have alarmed some residents in affected areas, prompting them to call out local fire agencies unnecessarily.
More prescribed burning on woodlands can be expected because the cool, dry conditions are ideal for controlled burns, said Ludie Bond, a wildfire mitigation specialist with the Florida Division of Forestry.
"The last three days, Osceola has been burning some very large plots. The Ocala National Forest on Thursday burnt 1,600 acres," Bond said. "The challenge it presents is that when residents call 911 and complain about smoke, we have to respond when there is a concern."
Prescribed burning is typically done in the cooler months because vegetation is in a dormant stage. The burning rids forests of vegetation that can become fuel for uncontrolled burns. The burning also improves the ecological health of the land.
But the cold, dry weather also makes wild grass and brush fires more likely.
"It's confusing for the general public. What people need to know is that on a day-to-day basis, we are authorizing burns given the weather conditions and people who are doing it are experienced, certified burners," Bond said.

If you've been around for a while, you know that I love the Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Gel Scrub and it helped me a lot when I was having serious acne problems. These days my skin is not as oily and I don't need to exfoliate every single day so I decided to get the Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Gel Wash.
I looked at this product as a safe purchase because I had loved the gel scrub so much that I could only love the gel wash. I was right. The formula of both products is very similar and the only difference I've notice is the obvious one. The gel wash doesn't have the exfoliating particles that are in the gel scrub.
I have been using this gel wash every morning and night since I got it (read about my "Night Skin Care Routine" here) and I have to say my skin has another glow. I felt the exact same results when I first started to use the gel scrub and missed this feeling a lot. For those who have more sensitive skin I wouldn't recommend using the gel scrub daily but the gel wash is the perfect solution. My skin immediately feels very clean, fresh and soft and with regular and constant use the oiliness of my skin has been reduced as well as the redness on my cheeks. The gel wash doesn't irritate the skin and it has a very fresh scent.
If you ask me if I need both products, I'll probably say no but I'll keep repurchase both of them as I love to use the gel scrub after a long tiring day and the gel wash every morning to make me feel fresh and awake.
Have you ever tried this product before? Or the gel scrub?

Developments in shock absorbers
As with windscreen wiper blades, motorists often fail to replace shock absorbers with the frequency that they should. In Europe, for example, it is thought that around one in four cars require new shock absorbers at any one time. However, the quality of the shock absorber has improved greatly and the product deteriorates so gradually that many motorists are unaware of the problem. This article sets out some recent innovations in shock absorbers as well as the forces driving those technical advances.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a government body charged with covertly protecting freedomocracy and libertocracy worldwide. CIA agents are known to keep a very low profile, as revelation of their identities might compromise the goals of the agency. A CIA agent's name may be disclosed only if Bob Novak determines it to be politically viable.

'Dexter' Season Seven First Look: Could Dexter Kill Deb?
When the Dexter cast and crew teamed up for a killer panel during last month's San Diego Comic Con, it seemed as though a Ukrainian mobster (Ray Stevenson) would be Dex's (Michael C. Hall) main threat throughout season seven — but the teaser trailer released today suggests otherwise. At the end of season six, Dexter's eternally loyal and morally upright sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) finally walked in on a kill, and the footage released at Con showed her reacting to that discovery for the first few minutes of next season's September premiere. As it turns out, her completely appropriate moral freakout won't be contained to the premiere — it will be a driving force throughout the whole season, when Dexter finds that the greatest threat to his freedom could be his very own sister:
Of course, the trailer let us in on some other intriguing challenges headed Dexter's way — there's that creepy lab tech Louis (Josh Cooke), who is obsessed with season one's Ice Truck Killer and now apparently hellbent on seeing Dexter lying in a pool of his own urine. Then there's LaGuerta (Lauren Vélez), who discovers a blood slide at the church scene, which will inevitably re-open that whole Bay Harbor Butcher debacle. Still, the greatest threat of all seems to be coming from Deb, who may or may not turn Dex in at any moment. Does she have what it takes to betray her own fake-brother? Could he really kill her? Guess we'll find out Sept. 30! Check out the two minute sneak peek below, in case you missed it:

Author | exchange4media News Service | Friday, Dec 13,2002 6:23 AM
After the cola slugfest through the advertising medium, its now the war of the Korean brands in the consumer durables segment that is hotting up. The current trigger: the upcoming Cricket World Cup. In an obvious counter to LG's 'Cricket First' campaign, rival Samsung is launching the next round of World Cup related advertising with the punchline, 'With Team Samsung, It's India First.'
The 'India First' theme will run through the campaign till March. Though the company denied any 'conscious retaliation' to the LG ads, pointing out that the campaign has been ready since June, industry sources say that while the concept had been finalised earlier, the copy was modified after the LG campaign broke, to incorporate the 'India First' theme. The focus of the ads now shifts from Digitall passion to passion for the country and the game as a means of bringing that passion alive.
The copy of the print ad reads,''With Team Samsung, Its India First.'' It goes on to say,''Team Samsung plays for India's glory. Cricket is just a means to that end.'' The TV commercial also signs off with the lines 'Team Samsung. India First.' LG had earlier this month launched its campaign featuring 14 captains of cricket-playing nations, whose punchline read 'With LG it is always cricket first.'
Reacting to the commercial, Lowe director Pranesh Mishra said,''This is essentially a reaction to our LG Cricket First ad campaign. But our idea is big and it's all about how people enjoy the game, we do not worry who wins the match. Samsung has tried to copy us.''
So can one expect to see a confrontation on the lines of the Cola wars? Says KSA Technopak manager Hemendra Mathur,''In the short term, such a strategy could be a win-win situation for both brands. It could build excitement and have a positive rub-off on pre-World Cup sales. Cricket and patriotism are both hot propositions. As a strategy, building on patriotism could also perhaps help a Korean company get a more Indian image, like Philips or Lever, which are viewed as more Indian than foreign.''
Samsung, which signed on seven Indian cricketers earlier this year, launched its 'Team Samsung, the official sponsors of Digitall Passion' ads in August. Since then it has aired three commercials on a similar platform.

Obsessive slowness is described to be a syndrome of extreme slowness in ways various tasks are performed. Its existence as an independent syndrome is challenged by authors, who regard it to be a part of obsessive compulsive disorder. Behavioural techniques of prompting, pacing and shaping are recommended for treatment of this condition. We describe here a case of a 21 year old male patient who presented with debilitating slowness. Patient responded to a combination of behaviour therapy (thought habituation and exposure) and pharmacotherapy (fluoxetine and thyroxine). Diagnostic difficulties and management issues are highlighted.

Does this sound like your topic?

Union officers and reps are also are also assigned work in their appropriate dept. Management takes very good care of them, as far as easy job assignments, special privilege's, ect. In return the officers protect management, ignore and assist in blatant work assignment health issues ( assigned the same physical activity over and over disregarding the company's own ergonomic job rotation rules) , assisting company in harassing older male employees with health issues by not assisting them or not even acknowledging the violations of federal law. Instead of assisting the employees targeted for abuse, union officers will actually be the accusers of false faults against employees to help the company rail road middle age males out the door.
I think this was asked earlier in the que. There were two answers. Mine was:
You should consult with an experienced employment law attorney in your area. This seems to be excessive, but you may have rights under the policies of your employer and the union.
Generally, you will not be able to recover for hostile work place unless it is related to a protected class. You have a lot going on in the scenario and the best advice anyone can give you is to seek legal representation and get this matter resolved as soon as possible to save your health, both physical and mental!
in addition Attorney McCall from Pasadena California answered. You should look through the answers and check her's out. She was very concise!
Good Luck.
The information provided herein is general information and not designed to create a lawyer-client relationship, nor is it intended to be all-inclusive. You should seek counsel from an attorney about your particular situation to ensure your rights are protected.Ask a similar question
Most unions try to do the right thing and obtain justice. Sometimes "justice" does not help an individual employee. One reason is that unions have their primary obligation to the entire group of job classifications the union represents; that group is called the "bargaining unit." Unions have the right to decide whether to pursue a case or not.
Most local unions have limited money and staff resources so they must pick and choose which cases to pursue. Unions have to balance the need for more money (to hire more union reps or to take more cases to arbitration, for example) with the bargaining unit's resistance to higher dues. This is similar to elected officials who must always balance constituents' wishes with the need to raise taxes.
Some union reps are highly effective; others are incompetent, just as some attorneys and politicians are incompetent. Many local labor unions are run by volunteers. Many union representatives are full-time employees of the employer so do much of their union work on their own time, especially evenings and weekends. Only some unions have enough money to reimburse their reps for missed work hours, such as when handling a grievance. Only some unions have the strength to negotiate "lost time" with the employer, where the employer has to pay the rep's wages when the rep is handling grievances; this time is usually limited to a low number of hours.
Nearly all elected and appointed union officers start out as rank-and-file workers. They may be elected due to work competence, seniority, intelligence, charm, good looks, having a big mouth, blustering, oratory skills, etc. – just like politicians. There is a range of skills and a range of experience among them. Most unions provide some training for officers and stewards, but others don't have the resources to do so. The quantity and quality of training can vary widely.
If a union employee wants to pursue a claim against the union, there is a six month time limit, called a statute of limitation, in which to file a lawsuit in federal court claiming a violation of 29 U.S.C. section 301 or file an unfair labor practice charge with a federal agency, the National Labor Relations Board. There is a high hurdle for successful claims against unions. A union must have acted arbitrarily, discriminatorily or in bad faith – far beyond negligence. These cases are very difficult to win.
If the workplace problem is based on a statute, such as any of the laws prohibiting on-the-job discrimination or protecting whistleblowers then a private attorney may be able to help. If the workplace problem is due to the employer's dissatisfaction with work or conduct, the remedy is probably limited to going through the union.
One of the best sources for information about unions and their relationships with the workers they represent is the Association for Union Democracy (AUD) . You may want to visit the AUD website and see if there is anything helpful there.
Finally, one thing to consider is that even with faults, unions are the only thing standing between any worker and the employer's ability to do whatever it wants. Without unions, there is no organized opposition to corporate efforts to take away workers' rights. It is no coincidence that as union membership has declined, so have on-the-job benefits such as health insurance and pensions.
All your life, you've heard "there is strength in numbers." You hear it because it is true. The best way to make a union stronger and better-able to help all workers is to participate in its work. Read the collective bargaining agreement (contract). Attend union meetings, ask questions and think about what is happening at the workplace. Help your union help you.

It is very difficult to hold a union liable for refusing representation, and even more difficult to obtain an order to compel union action. The law takes the view that the union has the right to determine how best to expend its power and resources and credibility, and that the union has the best ability to determine what is in the best interests of the workforce collectively -- and that collective benefit is the union's core obligation.
The sole potentially productive legal ground for challenging a union's refusal of representation is where the refusal to serve is allegedly based on race, gender, religion or other protected classifications. Very likely age is a protected classification in these circumstances, but it is among the most difficult to prove with admissible evidence. The time limit for bringing a legal action against an employee union is very narrow, and there are relatively few attorneys who handle such cases (compared to the size of the pool of employment rights attorneys in general). But this is not a DIY project, so you will need to find and consult counsel.
You may want to consult with a local discrimination attorney about whether you have any claims or rights of action against your employer that do not require the pre-requisite of union action.
Take a copy of your collective bargaining with you in any consultation on these issues.

Burgess appointed central agent for expedition yacht Safira
by Malcolm MacLean
Burgess tell me they've been appointed exclusive central agents for sale and charter of one of the world's newest custom-built expedition yachts, the 39.3m Safira.
ABS classed and MCA unrestricted with an ice-strengthened hull, she's a global explorer with remarkable engineering, excellent seakeeping qualities and a host of 'green' attributes.
Power is delivered by Schottel Rudder propeller azipod drives that are 20% more efficient than conventional shafts. Energy-efficient electrical specifications allow smaller generators to be carried, in turn reducing fuel consumption. Even the woodwork and decking is not as it seems. In place of teak is an environmentally friendly Dutch product called Esthec which provides sound insulation to lower decks. Dynamic positioning using GPS enables Safira to stay precisely in place without anchoring, which is ideal when cruising environmentally delicate areas.
Safira accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms with the full beam master suite located deliberately below decks amidships, the position of least movement on board: perfect for those who prefer staterooms for sleeping rather than admiring the views. All have ensuite bathrooms.
Safira is asking $32 million.

Portsmouth Skipper Makes History
24-Year-Old Nikki Henderson Become The Youngest Ever Skipper Of A Clipper Round The World Yacht
A Hampshire police officer is one of those sacked after posting a racist comment - two Dorset special constables quit after complaints.
At least two officers were sacked, seven quit and 150 faced disciplinary action after posting inappropriate photos or comments on Facebook in the last four years.
Officers used the popular social networking site, which has 30 million users in the UK, to harass former partners and ex-colleagues, to comment on others' wives, and to suggest they had beaten up members of the public during protests.
Some even revealed details of police operations, tried to befriend victims of crime, or were caught in inappropriate photographs, forces said.
The details, released to the Press Association following a request under the Freedom of Information Act, come as a review into police corruption found there was a 'significant blurring' between officers' personal and professional lives on social networking sites which risked damaging the service's reputation.
One officer with the Hampshire force was dismissed without notice in 2009 for posting a racist comment on Facebook, the force said. No other details were released.
The figures, from 41 of the 43 forces in England and Wales, cover between 2008 and 2010, but a second officer was sacked earlier this year for referring to another officer as a 'grass' and a 'liar' on Facebook and harassing a female colleague.
Seven other officers - two special constables from the Dorset force and one officer from each of Bedfordshire, Cheshire, Essex, North Wales, and South Yorkshire - resigned following complaints, the figures showed.
The South Yorkshire officer resigned following an allegation of improper disclosure of information on Facebook, while others posted inappropriate comments or pictures.
Another officer, Pc Nestor Costa, of Devon and Cornwall Police, was fined three days pay in 2008 after he called for violence against suspects in custody.
In all, a total of 187 complaints were made against officers over their use of Facebook, with nine officers being given final written warnings, 47 given written warnings and one given a formal warning.
A further 88 were subject to management action, received guidance or words of advice, while 32 complaints were either withdrawn, found to be unsubstantiated or led to no further action.
One disciplinary outcome in Leicestershire, following comments made on Facebook, was withheld by the force.
Roger Baker, who led a review into police corruption for Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC), said: "Social networking is seen as a risk by all forces and authorities, but there are limited or inconsistent policies around what is acceptable, what you should do, what you shouldn't do.
"We found a significant blurring between people's professional lives on social networking sites and their private lives which may be in the public domain and private lives which probably should remain extremely private."
The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) said that while the service recognised the widespread benefits of social networking sites, it"also understands the risks relating to compromise, operational effectiveness and repetitional damage" .

We have used these dixie cups at my job before and they work amazing for all your hot drinks. they don't burn your hands like others and seem to get your drink hotter longer.
They do their job!
These work perfectly for cold beverages. However, I find that the heat from hot beverages cause it to be too hot to hold at times.
Perfect for on the go coffee ...when you don't want to make the coffee stop on your way to work :) and you save money its a win win !
We have the larger size of these at work (and the lids) and use them when customers come in to tour our facility. Great to take on the go!
These work well for paper cups. Better than the normal ones. And the have a cute design, I would recommend this.

Saffron Almond Rice
Recipe by Annacia
I simply love the flavors of North Africa and I think that you'll enjoy this as much as I do. I like to make this with pistachios in place of the almonds sometimes.
Top Review by COOKGIRl
I made this in a different matter. Here's what I did: first I washed basmati rice in a fine sieve ntil the water ran clear. Placed the rice in a large pot of water, salted and brought to the boil. Boiled rice about 8 minutes. Drained. Placed 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan, spooned half the rice in the pan, smoothed the top, dotted with most of the Turkish apricots which were cut up into small pieces, another 1 tablespoon of butter then spooned remaining rice on top, smoothing the surface. Placed a tea towel folded up on top, covered and simmered on low for 30 minutes using the smallest burner on the stove top. After rice has cooked the rice was loosened on the edges using a flat rubber spatula, pan inverted onto a serving plate. Garnished top with almonds, pistachios and the rest of the Turkish apricots. Delicious! Made for NA*ME Tag game/Summer.

Praise for Games organisation, criticism over rights
China has won praise for organising an impressive Olympics, but rights groups remain critical.
As the Games ended with a spectacular closing ceremony, the International Olympic Committee's pledge that hosting the Olympics would open China up to the world came under scrutiny.
As the host country of the next Olympics, Britain chose its words carefully, with officials praising the way that Beijing organised the Games but staying silent on accusations from rights groups that pro-Tibet protests had been crushed by Chinese authorities.
Sebastian Coe, a former gold medal winner in athletics who chairs the London 2012 organising committee, said ahead of the closing ceremony that "there wasn't a good deal wrong" with the Beijing Olympics.
"The city has opened up and people are mixing like they did in Moscow when I was there in 1980," he said.
"It is the right place to be now. Sport has been the catalyst."
The United States was still to comment after the closing ceremony, but on Saturday it showed signs of disappointment with the Chinese authorities as it urged Beijing to release eight American nationals detained after pro-Tibet protests during the Olympics.
"The US Government encourages the Government of China to demonstrate respect for human rights, including freedom of expression and freedom of religion of all people during the Olympic Games," the US embassy spokeswoman in Beijing, Susan Stevenson, said.
"We are disappointed that China has not used the occasion of the Olympics to demonstrate greater tolerance and openness."
The American protesters were one of several small groups of foreign demonstrators detained during the Olympics for protesting about China's 57-year rule of Tibet, which has been under the spotlight this year.
Amnesty International accused the Chinese authorities of violating human rights by preventing protests during the Games and the group said the IOC had failed in its duty to hold the organisers to account.
"The Beijing Olympics have been a spectacular sporting event but they took place against a backdrop of human rights violations, with activists prevented from expressing their views peacefully and many in detention when they have committed no crime," Amnesty International's Asia-Pacific deputy program director, Roseann Rife, said.
"The Chinese authorities and the IOC had an opportunity to demonstrate human rights improvements but in most respects they failed to deliver. Forced evictions, detention of activists and restrictions on journalists should not blight another Olympics."
Amnesty urged the IOC to build human rights "indicators" into Olympic bids to ensure it did not "repeat its mistakes" at future Games.
The European Commission meanwhile merely praised the performances of European athletes and Culture and Youth Commissioner Jan Figel said he looked forward to the Olympics returning, in 2012, to "the continent where they were born".

Kiwilink VoIP One Number
The Kiwilink one number service is an enhancement to our Locate Me service. It enables you to have up to 6 devices or phones registered against a single Kiwilink number at the same time. When someone rings the Kiwilink number all phones/devices will ring at the same time. A great example of this is if you have a Softphone and a VoIP handset or dual mode cellphone.
Instead of having a Kiwilink number for your handset/cellphone and another Kiwilink number for your softphone with Locate Me set up between the two - simply use the same number on both and no matter where you are people will be able to reach you. Kiwilink One Number is also useful in a small office situation where you have one number and want it to ring all the office phones at once. Of course if you're away from an area with internet access you can still use the locate me service to have your cellphone or landline ring as well.
Here's how it works
First you need to enable the service in Kiwilink VoIP portal. Go to the Locate Me/OneNumber screen, tick the box labeled Kiwilink One Number and then save.
Next setup your devices correctly. You should choose one device as your primary device. In the SIP settings for your primary device enter your Kiwilink number and password as usual. For each additional device you will need to add a suffix to your Kiwilink number/login. The suffix will need to take the format of a dash followed by the number 1-5. Each device will need a different number/suffix or else the service won't work. The password is the same for each device.
The maximum number of devices you can register against one Kiwilink number is 6 including your primary device
Here's a sample configuration.
Primary Device - Linksys VoIP handset - Login = 028890123
2nd Device - xlite (Softphone) - Login = 028890123-1
3rd Device - Linksys ATA - Login = 028890123-2
4th Device - Nokia E Series phone - Login = 028890123-3

Total Garbage
Absolutely abominable. Don't know if it's the OpenGraph that's crap, though it's easy to believe that seeing how you have practically eliminated apps like Social RSS from being fully functional for WordPress powered sites.
This should not even be allowed in the repository. Waste of time. Convoluted settings, practically impossible to setup unless you happen to be tech savy, particularly FB tech savy.
Finally, if you've been patient enough to sit through a couple of hours of pure frustration with some internet guides trying to to their best to help you with this piece of crap, there appear to be constant issues with publishing.
Ridiculous requirements for fanpage naming in reference to the app name.
Tags, images, pulled wrong from websites, at random it seems, being in no way associated with the post that is being published.
And last but not least, it does not show up in the Plugins list in WP admin, so can't delete it unless you have access to your site's ftp.
'Make your WordPress site social in a couple of clicks, powered by Facebook' – the description should be taken off, it's straight face lying. You can't even uninstall it with a couple of click, let alone set it up.
Total garbage.
