Yeah, I will keep any appointment they give me, I'll just do everything in my power to have something done before then. It may be up to 5 months from now before I'm notified of an available appointment, but then the actual appointment may not be for several months after that. Hopefully if I can go to Wellington or even the next town over from me I might be able to get something done sooner.

Quick update. Still the same not doing any better at all, some days are really bad and I contemplate going to the ER but I don't end up going.
Dad got sick of the hospital mucking around and has set up an appointment with a very good doctor/surgeon at a private hospital near us, so on the 25th I will be seeing a doctor who helps my nana with her coeliac etc and is generally known to be very good, so we will see how that eventuates.

OK, so I saw the specialist private surgeon today, and after hearing my entire life story he has said that he is 70% sure that I have crohns disease, but I will be going for a colonoscopy tomorrow (EEK!) to see what presents.
I have to drink 1L if "Bowel prep" every hour for 3 hours tonight in order to cleanse everything in preparation for the procedure tomorrow. Let me tell you, this stuff is vile. I have a strong stomach, but just thinking about, or smelling this stuff literally makes me vomit, drinking it is even harder to do. It reminds me of chlorine... Except I would rather the taste of chlorine. I'm not allowed any more food tonight (no problem with the headache and nausea/vomiting caused by the drink). Woopee, I'm excited to be getting another test and all but man, this stuff is vile beyond belief.
I hope they find out what is wrong. Good luck.
Big hugs to you, dear.
I've been battling what we now know is lupus for awhile now, and definitely the hardest part is not knowing. It'll do a number on your psyche, for sure! Also pills are a bummer, but a really good doctor should be able to find you a combination of meds that will work for you long-term, if not short-term. If they don't, try another doctor. They all have slightly different opinions and some will suit your condition more than others.
Living in a different country I'm not 100% sure how your healthcare system works, sounds like mostly public but private practices exist as well? In those situations I hear that private doctors are almost always better but I don't have a basis for that, honestly. I just know that if they ever switch the U.S. To government-run healthcare I'm moving to a different country. Not a good thing for people like us, particularly when a country has little to no budget.
Sounds like you're in to see someone your family trusts, though, which is usually a very good thing! Keep us updated!

Thankyou 2BigReds, it's really starting to scare me now. The not knowing, and the being rushed in for a colonoscopy only a day after the initial appointment, Not that I'm complaining since it would have taken months in a public hospital!
I do feel terrible though so I can now say I feel for anybody going through colonoscopy prep etc, it's nasty.
I've heard the word lupus before, but other than knowing that it is an autoimmune disease I know nothing else about it, could you enlighten me? I'm beginning to pick up an interest in all these things and can spend hours googling different things, but the information from Google still doesn't compare to the information from somebody living with the issues. My opinion anyway.
Yes we have both public and private practises that are completely separate. I'm just extremely lucky that I have health insurance and that my parents are willing to pay the excess of $300. This one procedure today is costing upwards of $4000 so I'm counting my lucky stars that we are in a position to be able to go through with this when many people can't. And yes, the private doctors are always better, hands down. The specialist doctor/surgeon I'm under now is also caring for my grandad and his wife, he has skin cancer and a myriad of other issues, nana has coeliac disease and some other issues also. This doctor also saved my uncles life after the public hospital wrote him off as a cancer patient and gave him months to live. This doctor rushed him to Auckland and had half my uncles stomach removed in what was found out to be a huge stomach ulcer, and also pneumonia. If he hadn't had the surgery he would have died, now 6 years later he is right as rain.
So this guy definitely knows his stuff, which is reassuring my nerves a little bit. He also told me it's not in my head and he won't stop until he has a definite diagnosis. I went to high school with his children and he kept stressing how important confidentiality is to him so his sons won't know, not that I care who knows at this point as long as something is found out!
He also said "don't even get me started on public healthcare" he used to work for the hospital but opened up his own private practise a few years ago. He hates that hospital as much as everyone else does and stared at me in utter disbelief when I told him that they had put me on meds specifically for crohns when they don't have a diagnosis. He also stressed the importance of not taking the ibuprofen I was prescribed for the exact reasons mentioned earlier on this thread, I don't remember who by.
Ok, it's 9.20am now so in 2 hours I will be admitted in to the private hospital, and an hour and a half after that I should be getting a general anaesthesia and having the procedure started. I won't deny it, I'm terrified. Mums driving me in otherwise I will not be going.
As long as they drug you up, the colonoscopy is no big deal. The prep is the bad part. It won't leave you in pain and it will be over in no time. The only issue is that all that yucky stuff you drank will make you feel bad for a day or two until you can get your electrolytes all back in balance.

Yeah the surgeon said I will be under a general anaesthetic because apparently teenagers don't handle sedation very well, so my age works in favour on that one for me haha.
Oh well, I've managed a night and morning (plus every other days that I feel bad)of it I'm sure I can deal with not feeling great for a little while longer, but I do have a huge craving for dark and milk chocolate, I even dreamt about it in what little sleep I had last night!
likes this.
I think this may be turning into more of a diary than anything
but I'm in an amazing mood and have had a strangely brilliant day.
So, its now 11.30pm and I can't sleep, yay for normalness I suppose
because I never have slept well. If I doo then I'm either sick or drugged up brilliantly.
I have extreme agoraphobia and have done knowingly for years, it completely rules my life to the point where I don't go to parties, I don't go in to town when it's busy, if I go in to a new place the first thing I look for is all my possible escape routes etc etc. I never even went to school assemblies in high school because sitting in a big hall with several hundred kids packed in and schoolbags blocking my escape routes just sent me over the edge. For the ones I did have to go to (eg prizegiving) I would sit with a class that was right by the door, on the end seat so I had no obstructions to my exit if I needed to get out.
I had myself thoroughly convinced that I was fine this morning, I walked into the hospital and kept myself convinced that I was fine (I was actually shut off in dream land pretending I wasn't in the hospital-that's my coping mechanism a lot of the time) I got shown to my room and the nurse came in almost straight away and she was just lovely, I managed to pull myself out of my dream land without panicking and she made me feel completely at ease, and she had a nice sense of humour which is good because I tend to joke around a lot when I'm trying to cope. Went through all the paperwork and questions etc and that was fine, I had my own private bathroom attached to my room (thank goodness!). A number of doctors and nurses passed through my room, each of them were great and made me feel comfortable around them as much as possible. I warned all of them about my agoraphobia and what happens when I have panic attacks and that I was likely to not cope very well. The anaesthetist said that was cool and he would have some special sedative set aside in case I needed them.
1.30pm I got taken in and I had pulled myself back into my dreamland to cope. (wearing a button up gown and a nappy type thing that I will not forget, YUCK!) As I was being wheeled out of my room mum said "everything will be fine, it's ok" and bam - verbal trigger. I got snapped out of dreamland and there began the panic attack. Not mums fault at all, she didn't realise I have verbal triggers like that as well as the other triggers, I should have pre-warned her and asked her not to say it but it slipped my mind.
Down the corridor we go, I'm paralysed by my concentration to keep breathing normally, I can't speak or hear anything because I'm focusing so hard on my breathing, I tend to either hyperventilate to the point where I vomit(cue the emetophobia issue here) or I stop breathing completely and pass out, yay!
My head was screaming to me to get the heck off that bed and run like crazy, just get out, don't go through those doors, this was a stupid idea, why did I turn up in the first place. Leave now and it will be fine. But being paralysed by my concentration on breathing stopped me from doing that.
As soon as I went through the doors just before the theatre I started crying hysterically in silence and my entire body was shaking. I had to get up and walk from my bed to the theatre table, but I couldn't get my legs to cooperate (still concentrating on breathing) so I had one guy on one side and one on the other since I got out of bed and promptly collapsed on the floor from fear and dizziness(dizziness is normal for me) so basically they carried me in, all I had to do was keep my feet in contact with the floor.
They layed me down on the table on my back, arms outstretched for the monitors on one arm and the cannula in the other arm. It took them 2 attempts at putting a cannula in, which has never happened to me before as I'm told I have amazing veins, maybe they hid in fear
As soon as the cannula was in successfully in went the sedative. No questions asked. I was exerting as much control as I could over myself but I was very quickly losing the battle and almost got up and ran at this point, not being able to concentrate on breathing anymore.
So anyway, bam, in goes sedative through IV. Not 5 seconds later I was laying there in bliss. Completely happy and comfortable looking at the pretty overhead lights, feeling like I was floating on a cloud. I was able to relax and breath completely normally, no more panic attack, I could talk, I could hear, but I was completely happy as larry.
Then they hooked me up to a saline drip and stuck the anaesthetic in through my IV line. Night night. I don't remember falling asleep this time, I just remember waking up in recovery and the nurse asking me if I wanted mum in the room, I said "no I'm still in my happy place" (where did that come from! I didn't even choose to say that! Good drugs!)
I did have an ET tube during the procedure, I was told that, but I went to sleep with no tube and also woke up with no tube, just an oxygen mask and the worst case of gas I've ever had haha! She told me not to be ladylike and just let it go, to which my response was "well darn, I've never been ladylike about anything in my life!"
I was in theatre for an hour, and in recovery for 35 minutes. The surgeon come in to my room after I had woken up properly enough to comprehend serious questions and not answer them like I was high.
He said that the colonoscopy was not normal. Definitely not normal. But he said it didn't absolutely scream Crohns at him. He does think I have Crohns disease, but he has sent away biopsies which will be back in one week just to be sure.
When I woke up after a snooze in my room, I woke up to an amazingly cute stuffed cow and penguin in front of me, mum had gone out to find slippers at the shops and had come back with the stuffed animals, a nice pair of loose trackies, some new socks and a really nice hoodie! Bless her, she didn't have to do that!
And the surgeon gave me a little red box with gold ribbon on it saying "Get Well" in nice writing, inside it held 3 dark chocolates with a slight hint of mint flavour. I've eaten half of one so far, thought I had better not overdo it, I gave mum the other half.
Then I met a new nurse who had just come on to her shift and she was lovely too, she was really funny and light hearted, she was one seriously compassionate woman, and she went out and got me some amazing sandwiches and a collection of coffees/teas and drinking chocolate. I don't drink coffee so I had the drinking chocolate with only a teeny bit of milk. But man, who knew hospital food could get so good! It was amazing, better than most cafes! And better room service than a 5 star hotel!
I was feeling amazing at this point, both physically and mentally better than I have done in months. I am almost excited to possibly have Crohns Disease, purely because it is so close to a diagnosis, which will then mean I can get proper help and carry on with my life as well as I can.
I then got home, already feeling pretty good, and mum cooked some fresh crumbed hoki for dinner so I had a small piece of that. Then I'm sitting down using dads iPad for facebook and he goes "can you turn that off for a minute?" "uh, yeah sure?" he then proceeds to hand me this gorgeous gift bag, and inside is a brand spanking new white 16gb iPhone 5, colour me shocked. I had no idea what to say apart from "OMG" and "thankyou" and his reasoning behind it was that he thinks I've deserved it for going through all of the problems I have gone through over the past 3 years. I was just astounded and I'm still struggling to believe that I have an iPhone 5, I always wanted one, but I was prepared to save up and get one for myself, but dad thinks I deserve to just have one like that? I won't complain, but I'm really not sure I do understand, both mum and dad have already done so much for me and I couldn't ever thank them enough, but to put this phone on top of it all makes me feel like a seriously spoilt little brat, although my secret theory behind the iPhone is that now I have to send dad Candy Crush lives, since I couldn't on my LG Optimus
And in other good news!
I got a phonecall on my way to the hospital this morning about my orthopaedic surgeon appointment on October 17th for the consult of the surgery on my thumb... well, they have bumped my appointment forward! To tomorrow!! So tomorrow at 2pm I will be talking to a surgeon about having an operation on my thumb in the very near future hopefully. It feels like everything *might* just be coming together now. But I'm scared to get my hopes up.
I'm sorry, that is a huge novel, but even with the panic attack almost ruining everything, and having a probable lifelong disease diagnosis, as well as pending surgery on my thumb, I kind of feel on top of the world, so I'm going to make the most of that while it lasts. Because I know it won't last forever, so why shouldn't I make the most of it?

California spent $1.37 million so you could watch Richard Simmons twerk.
Let's take a moment to remember one of the best moments of the six-hour Obamacare telethon, as Richard Simmons lovingly interpreted the process by which you register for government-sponsored health care using his trademark flexibility.
How much do you think the state of California, which is drowning in debt, paid to have Richard Simmons roll around on the set of the Mike Douglas Show at the behest of a man dressed out of a Salvation Army dollar bin? Technically, Richard Simmons did the initial appearance for free (though he probably got something out of it), but the whole six-hour mess of terrible comedy and C-list celebrity appearances cost the state of California a whopping $1.37 million dollars.
Because, obviously.
Facing a $78 million budget shortfall, California's ObamaCare exchange has spent $1.37 million to fund an outreach video featuring exercise guru Richard Simmons gyrating on the floor and hugging a contortionist who is kneeling with his buttocks in the air.
The "Tell a Friend — Get Covered" campaign by Covered California features other celebrities Olivia Wilde, comic Billy Eirchner, Fran Drescher and Tatyana Ali. The centerpiece of the effort was an eight-hour live web stream that ran on Jan. 16.
None of the celebrities were paid for their work, Covered California said.
State Sen. Ted Gaines, a Northern California Republican, fired off a terse letter to Covered California Director Peter Lee demanding to know why he would launch such a campaign at taxpayer expense.
To be fair, the $1.37 million that California spent marketing it's health care project is a drop in the bucket compared to how much they spent on the entire health care project, which will face a $78 million dollar shortfall. So really, paying over a million bucks to have Richard Simmons teach his first real aerobics class on a screen since the mid-1990s is a bargain compared to, say, building the project. Maybe they should have started with Richard Simmons.

Publicis and Coca-Cola Want To Make You The Recycling King
Posted by Matthew Stasoff on June 20th, 2011
12 Comments
With the arrival of Facebook Places in Israel, Publicis Group wanted to use this feature to increase the awareness of plastic bottle recycling while also making it fun. This meant the activation of 10,000 Facebook Places around Israel where consumers could check-in, post about their contribution and have the opportunity to be named "Recycling King."
The 10,000 places marked recycling bins throughout Israel, so not only did this act as a check-in point but it also made it easier for consumers to find locations where they could recycle their plastic goods.
This is a great example of how a large brand such as Coca-Cola can take the initiative and risk to try out a system like this and try to do something positive not only for the environment, but for communities within Israel.
I hope to see more action like this from both larger and small brands because the resources are pretty much free and at their disposal. But the initiative by Publicis and Coca-Cola is a great jumping off point.

Everyone knows that tweens and teens need their sleep. It's during that age span where the most growth, and resting from growth, happens while getting some shut eye, and it's been a problem school officials have been dealing with for decades. Should classes start later? Should there be less homework so teens can get some sleep?
The simple act of dozing in bed is actually one of the most important things a growing child will do all day, so when I heard that some parents were waking their teens up in the middle of the night to complete chores they'd promise to get done, but didn't, I had mixed feelings.
On the one hand, there's probably no greater frustration as a parent than being ignored. You tell them to clean the bathroom 10 times, yet nothing? Oof. Serenity now. After you've burned your way from kind requests to heated threats, waking those little jerks up in the middle of the night to teach them a lesson and get the chore taken care of seems reasonable (if it's on a weekend night, or during vacation).
On the other, depriving them of sleep is almost like depriving them of food. It's something they desperately need to stay healthy and grow into young men and women -- can't a chore wait until they're awake? Plus, stirring them is akin to waking a hibernating bear -- the results are often shrouded in the anticipation of a full-on attack that's a matter of when, not if. Why create a tired, groggy, angry monster when the monster you were dealing with already was more than enough?
I'm all for creative ways to get through to kids, but I don't know if forcing them to get up at 1 a.m. to clean their rooms is the best solution ... even if an air-horn to the ear of someone who hasn't been listening to me does sound more than a little fun. HONNK!
Would you wake your teen up in the middle of the night to do their chores?

pffft... i'm not going to wake my ass up in the middle of the night just to teach my kid a lesson. I'll teach them that lesson when the sun is up the next day by taking away privlages. If my daughter trys shutting herself in her bedroom like I did as a teenager, I'll take the hinges off her door, and lock her door in my bedroom. I'll remove TVs and radios (and doors) before I wake her/me up in the middle of the night. Also, my daughter is 5 right now, and she doesnt make it to bedtime w/out me realizing she hasn't picked up her toys yet.
You bet your ass I would do this, it only takes twice for a child (which is what a teen is) to figure out that their responsblities come first and then they can do as they choose.
I have and I do. If I fail to make dinner, you bet your butt they are going to be nagging me about it. If I don't drive them to something they want to do, I won't hear the end of it. If I say, "clean your room." You had better believe they will be woken up to clean it. It's common sense however, if your kid has too much homework, don't expect the chores to be done well, help them out that week. If they don't do it because they were on the phone with Cindy all evening, then sure thing, Up they are cleaning at 1am and not stopping till it's done. Of course, I am also right there with them so I have to suffer too.

text: Although super-regional shopping malls first emerged in North America during the mid-20th century, this quintessentially western form of consumerism now expands most rapidly in emerging economies of the Global South. As recently noted by SYED BALKHI in Visual News, "… countries that not long ago lacked even grocery stores are now building shopping facilities so big that they can't even find enough vendors to fill them." In fact, the list of the world's 25 largest shopping malls now includes only four from North America (three in the USA and one in Canada), while the rest are located mainly in East Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. As far as shopping malls go, it appears to be a case of the students surpassing their teacher! Given how malls tend to hurt central cities and encourage suburban sprawl, however, this trend may not be entirely beneficial. Check out the full list of the world's 25 largest shopping malls here.

We might be the only place in the country where fall feels like summer, but autumn in Los Angeles still means it's time for pumpkin. But what about pumpkin cravings that go beyond traditional Thanksgiving pie and Starbucks lattes? From a fab pumpkin facial to the most incredible liquid pumpkin pie, read on to find out where you can go around Los Angeles and Orange County for more creative takes on the fall gourd.
Pumpkin Facial @ Embody Esthetics
Fix your face for fall for just fifty bucks! The tiny Embody Esthetics spa on South Robertson packs a pampering punch with its $50 Pumpkin Peel (regularly $100). Great for fighting free radicals, reducing superficial lines and maintaining moisture, the gentle peel is safe for any skin type, including acne and rosacea. You can also do the pumpkin peel with vitamin C for $65. Offer good through November 30. Call 310-779-2444 to book an appointment. www.embodyesthetics.com
Pumpkin Pie Magic Milkshake @ PaletaHands down, the MOST AMAZE pumpkin experience is Paleta's pumpkin pie "magic milkshake," which has no dairy and tons of flavor! It's creamy and rich and just a touch grainy with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Absolutely addictive and oh so satisfying. It's also part of the Paleta Two-Day Detox (notice the lid on the photo above), but you can enjoy these anytime. It's pumpkin pie in a bottle. www.paleta.com
Pumpkin Sage Ravioli @ Fig & Olive
Fig & Olive is known for its flavorful (and amazingly butter-free) food and one of the standout dishes this season is the pumpkin sage ravioli made with free-range chicken, ricotta, pumpkin olive oil emulsion, toasted pumpkin seeds and Parmesan. At $26 it's on the pricier side, but if you're gonna splurge, may as well do it here. www.figandolive.com
Pumpkin Cupcake @ Hansen's Cakes
Finally, a cupcake that doesn't cost more than lunch. Hansen's mini cupcakes are just 50 cents and they're totally delish. The frosting itself is actually worth eating unlike some of those other overhyped, overpriced cupcakes. Try the Pumpkin Spice version if you love a heavy-on-the-spice sorta pumpkin experience. www.hansencakes.com
Pumpkin Spice Margarita @ Sol Cocina
It's always a party at this waterfront spot in Newport Beach and every fall they add a pumpkin spice margarita to their huge list of popular cocktails. Featuring Don Julio Blanco, agave nectar, fresh lime juice, roasted pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon, the pumpkin marg is not too sweet and just a touch spicy. You can also get a virgin version that's just as good. www.solcocina.com
Pumpkin Enchiladas @ Mas Malo
Leave it to Mas Malo chef Robert Luna, the guy who came up with vegan menudo, to create an enchilada that's so perfectly LA and so perfect for the season: creamy pumpkin enchiladas with kale mole. Oh, and don't forget the pumpkin tacos. www.masmalorestaurant.com
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies @ Brite Spot
This historic Eastside hangout is a must this season if for nothing else than those ridiculously good, never-too-sweet pies. The banana cream is pretty much perfect, but I also love the pumpkin whoopie pies, which kick it up a notch with just a hint of cayenne pepper and a creamy mascarpone filling. www.facebook.com/britespot
Pumpkin Pedicure @ The Nail Lounge
Indulge your feet this fall with the Pampering Pumpkin Pedicure at the Nail Lounge in Costa Mesa. Intended to help dry, flaky and callused feet, the $72 treatment (which lasts about an hour and 15 minutes) includes a pumpkin scrub, warming pumpkin mask, leg and foot massage, warm paraffin wax treatment and, of course, pedicure. Even better, the treatment uses Bella Lucce products, which promote fair trade and organic ingredients. www.thenailloungeonline.com
Pumpkin Gratin @ Haven Gastropub
Whether you're at the Old Town Orange or Old Pasadena location, Haven Gastropub is where you can get the comforting pumpkin gratin made with sugar pumpkin, grana padano and cream. You can wash it down with pumpkin beer on tap — after all, Haven is the go-to spot for craft beer in OC. www.havengastropub.com
Pumpkin Pie Soda @ Monsieur Marcel or Whole Foods
For a sweet and sparkly drink this season, try Maine Root Pumpkin Pie Soda. It's refreshing and bubbly and only around this time of year, so why not? www.maineroot.com
Butternut Squash & Pumpkin Navarin @ Cliff's Edge
Silver Lake mainstay Cliff's Edge has a colorful new fall dish made with squash and pumpkin. It's a Butternut Squash navarin with smoked tomato harissa, pomegranate, pumpkin seeds, sage and pumpkin oil. Bonus: It's totally vegan. www.cliffsedgecafe.com
Pumpkin Latte Mani & Pedi @ The Huntington Spa
Get ready to relax at the Huntington Spa inside the Langham Hotel in Pasadena with the Pumpkin Latte experience. It begins with a creamy butter brulee milk soak to relax tired legs and arms, followed by a caffeine-infused whipped caramel body polish to take away all your rough edges. An organic pumpkin puree mud mask deep cleans and tingles your hands and feet before finishing with soothing lotion. The 30-minute manicure is $45 and the 60-minute pedicure is $75. www.pasadena.langhamhotels.com

The festivities kick off at 4pm with the "Neighborhood Band", followed by Tara Scheyer & the Mud Puppy Band (a kid-oriented set complete with drums and percussion instruments for the little ones to get involved) and closes with Sun-Dried Vibes--back by popular demand from last year's event. Local craft breweries and eateries will be donating food and beverages, and the neighborhood has gathered some great silent auction items such as VIP race weekends for NHRA and NASCAR 2013 events in Charlotte, birthday party events from Kate's Skates, a rare magnum of Cabernet wine from one of Napa's top Vineyard (Staglin Vineyards), and many gift cards from local businesses.
Tickets (or donations) can be made via the SHE4life.com homepage - click the "DONATE" button for the O.F.F. festival. Tickets are $15 on the SHE4life website thru Sept 24th, and $20 at the gate the day of the event.

McMillen continues with pink theme for Vegas
Las Vegas - Terry McMillen, driver of the Amalie Oil/UNOH/Motor State Distributing Top Fuel dragster, will bring his pink-themed car to this weekend's 11th annual Big O Tires NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. McMillen hopes the team's month long campaign will help expand awareness of breast cancer.
"We started this deal at the beginning of October," McMillen explained. "We really wanted to pay tribute to the men and women that have had to and continue to fight breast cancer. The whole thing has really taken on a life of its own. We really had no idea a bunch of guys running around in pink jerseys and racing a pink dragster would be as popular as it turned out to be. It has touched a lot of people in a lot of different ways. My phone hasn't stopped ringing. I'm honored we could play a small role in what has to be a challenging time for friends, family and for those that have to fight the fight."
McMillen's pink dragster carries the names of friends and family of crew members, sponsors and those in the racing community that have breast cancer or have fought breast cancer. The team's pink jerseys are being auctioned off on eBay with proceeds going to She4Life. She4Life is a nonprofit organization that raises money, not for research, but for families that are struggling with the cost of fighting the disease.
"I was out at the The Strip today and noticed all of the pink," McMillen said. "It's something special. I think a lot of people will be touched by the effort. I'm glad we can be a part of it."
While McMillen's team will proudly sport their pink theme, they are fully aware of the race that is taking place. "This is one of the biggest races of the year for so many reasons," McMillen said. "You've got The Countdown looming with just two races to go. It's like game six of a seven game series. Anything can happen. We hope to influence the outcome - maybe just be a fly in the milk - just enough to mess things up for someone, but at the same time it's a great opportunity to get our program on track, maybe win some rounds and have a shot at winning this race."
"We're looking forward to so many guests at this race with the SEMA and AAPEX shows following the race," McMillen said. "We have special guests that are Amalie distributors from all over the globe to some that are just a state away. We even got special guests from UNOH and Motor State Distributing. We've got about 150 special guests that will be pulling for us this weekend. No extra pressure or anything - just another reason to do well."
Breast Cancer Awareness month also brought out support from Mechanix Wear Gloves, Cool Image Water, Vicci Custom Apparel and T & R Graphics. "It's all about pink," McMillen said. "Buck from Mechanix Wear gave us some pink gloves, Danny Graham from Cool Image Water provided some special edition water bottles, Lisa at Vicci gave us a great design on pink jerseys and Ray Murphy at T&R Graphics gave us a really great looking pink dragster to race with."
Local support for McMillen's team continues to grow in the Las Vegas area. Findlay Chevrolet will again support the team with cars and tow vehicles along with Tahiti Village that provided outstanding lodging for the team in their suites.
Bid on McMillen's pink jersey's now on eBay and support She4Life
ELKHART, Ind. - Terry McMillen, driver of the Amalie Oil/UNOH/Motor State Distributing NHRA Top Fuel team, put the team's pink jerseys up for bid on eBay this week. The teams month long Breast Cancer Awareness campaign to bring attention to She4Life.
She4Life is a brand new charity supporting the families and patients of breast cancer when the cost of treatments starts to put a burden on the patients. "SHE4Life is in its infancy stages, and we want to help them get up and running," McMillen said. "They are going to help patients by going into communities and putting their line of products into stores. Money from the sales will be put directly back into the community in which they are sold and I think that's pretty cool."
To learn more about She4Life visit their Facebook page.
One of the goals of SHE 4Life, is to be able to help breast cancer centers / programs not only assist breast cancer patients with financial burdens, but we would also like to help promote and support "kids count" support groups for children who has a family member battling cancer. These groups, which my sister help initiate one at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga TN, is very vital to help children process, relate, understand and live through the never ending changing process of what a diagnosis of cancer does to the entire family! This video was highlighted on CNN a couple years ago about the program at Erlanger and the value it has for all children, the family and for how all learn and grow together throughout the process! Help SHE 4Life grow, gain recognition and support so that our goals and heartfelt work can be accomplished!!

WE NEED YOUR HELP... With today's economy and insurance prices, thousands and thousands of low-income and uninsured women could lose access to breast cancer programs through state and federal budget cuts this year. We need your help, please take a moment to contact your local and state policymakers urging them to preserve funding for the National Breast & Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP)
NBCCEDP is a public safety net program run jointly by the CDC and state departments of health. It provides breast cancer early detection services to women who have no insurance and who don't qualify for Medicaid. Without NBCCEDP, they would likely fall through the cracks in our health care system and with current economic conditions, more and more of our friends and neighbors are relying on this critical program. Since 1991, NBCCEDP has provided more than 10 million screenings and diagnosed almost 52,000 breast cancers. This year alone, the program will provide hundreds of thousands of mammograms to underserved women across the country.
We know that early detection of breast cancer is a key to surviving the disease. When breast cancer is detected early, before it spreads beyond the breast, the 5--year relative survival rate is 99 percent. If diagnosed when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, relative survival rates plummet to 23 percent.
So please reach out to your state lawmakers as soon as possible to let them hear your voice and concern that cutting screening not only could cost lives -- it also will cost states more and will increase the burden on the health care system. When breast cancer is detected at later stages, treatment is MUCH MORE expensive than when it is detected early. Please help support NBCCEDP -- Early screening and detection will help save many that you know and love!!
To learn more about NBCCEDP, please visit their website, http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/nbccedp/
Please help us do our part to speak out for all by contacting your local representatives and your state legislators to express your concern for decrease in funding for this program, we don't need any more battles for all who are fighting to survive from this disease and with Early Detection we can help raise the survival rate percentages!! Survive Hope Empower together... Make your voices heard today!!

NEW YORK (AP) - Tuesday marks the 20th anniversary of the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
A noontime ceremony is planned to honor the six people who died in the 1993 blast in a garage below one of the twin towers. More than 1,000 people were injured.
A moment of silence will be observed at 12:18 - the moment when a truck bomb was detonated.
Six Islamic extremists were convicted of carrying out the bombing, including mastermind Ramzi Yousef.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says the scale of the attack was the first dramatic demonstration that "terrorism is theater and New York is the biggest stage.
The ceremony is being held at the 9/11 memorial that honors more than 2,700 people who died in the 2001 attack at the World Trade Center.

The Kinfolk Table puts the emphasis back into the relationships that surround eating. Let the people sharing your dinner table be the foreground and superficial details such as fancy recipes and table decorations can fade into the background. One-third cookbook, one-third narrative tale and one-third international adventure, The Kinfolk Table is a collection of 85 delectable recipes spread over nearly 400 pages from creative types around the world. Filled with gorgeous photography and design you're used to seeing in the magazine, the book will inspire your next small gathering.
The book reflects Kinfolk's ideas about the way they believe entertaining should be: comfortable, simple, slow and meaningful. They traveled around the world, sharing food and collecting ideas from their growing community of chefs, home cooks, designers, bloggers, photographers and others, many of whom contributed recipes to The Kinfolk Table.
They collected recipes from all different cultures that are suitable for nearly every occasion. Some of the suggestions are refreshingly simple, like throwing freshly plucked mussels on the barbecue or filling half a cantaloupe with yogurt and honey. Others may take a little more time and patience, such as Ginger Ice Cream with Kumquat Compote or perfecting a shoulder of veal. Danish, Japanese, Mexican and Korean influences make appearances too, as do fresh takes on classics such as Sweet Potato-Quinoa Burgers, Kimchi Couscous or Spiced Raw Chocolate Mousse.
The main cities they chose to focus on were Brooklyn, Copenhagen, their hometown of Portland, Oregon, and the English countryside. Of course, great food and even greater people extend beyond these borders, so they've added a "Wandering Table" section, featuring tales from Salt Lake City to family secrets from founder Nathan Williams' mother and grandmother back home in Alberta, Canada.

Description: Popular Fiction Ridiculed
Now Playing
Shadowmancer Review
Surely we must be running out of crappy young adult fantasy books trying to cash in on the success of Harry Potter. This time it's a satanist vicar and a Jamaican kid. What's next? Vampires and werewolves kissing?
Shadowmancer is the story of a couple kids who get roped into fighting against the devil when a beautiful boy from Africa (but his accent sounds Jamaican on the audiobook) shows up and asks for help getting his doll back. The doll has been stolen by the town vicar who secretly is really super evil.
Uh oh. What's that? When you dance with the devil he doesn't let you lead? Shocking! Well now everybody's fighting for their lives against the beast. That's fun.
G. P. Taylor really did write this as a response to Harry Potter. Except he didn't notice that what made HP good wasn't just that there were kids and magic. It was good writing, a sense of fun, characters that matter, etc. Without those, you've just got a convoluted mess that might be trying to convert kids to Christianity. I suspect it won't work.

It's not every day one turns the big 3-0, and when Tweezerman did they wanted to celebrate with some of its closest friends...and lots and lots of tools for eye-catching eyebrows, meticulous manicures, pristine pedicures and fabulous feet.
Famous as the "Beauty Tool Experts" to industry insiders, Tweezerman commemorated its 30th Anniversary with an intimate luncheon at West Hollywood's swank Sunset Tower Hotel on November 18th, 2010. Guests to the affair included editors, publishers, and sales representatives, all of whom walked away with the highly anticipated 2011 Tweezerman products.
"We are firmly entrenched in and embraced by the industry, and this milestone underlines it. We couldn't be more excited about our birthday," said President & CEO Dr. Cornelia Wittke. "The brand began with a pair of tweezers and has expanded into a full range of beauty tools for brows, lashes, manicure and pedicure.

AP Sports Writer
Welcome back to BracketRacket, the one-stop shopping place for all your offbeat NCAA tournament needs. In today's edition, we make the rounds at a Memphis hospital, look in on 'The Most Prevaricating Man in the World," check Bill Belichick's basketball pulse and find out if Jim Calhoun has had a change of heart. Without further ado:
After what she went through the other night, 81-year-old Memphis resident Colleen Beck isn't going to let three broken ribs and a collapsed lung keep her from watching her beloved Tigers play Virginia on Sunday night.
"She's a tough old bird," Bob Beck, her son, told The Commercial Appeal. "They did a CT scan and found out the lung was collapsed. They had to put a needle between the ribs, insert it into the lung and fill it up with air."
But first, Colleen Beck asked the emergency room doctors at Methodist Hospital, "Could we wait until we see how this ends?"
By "this," she meant the basketball game on the overhead TV. The one that was showing Memphis battling George Washington on Friday for a spot in the second round.
"Honestly," Colleen Beck said, "it didn't take much persuading. Everyone wanted to watch."
Beck suffered the injuries after falling at home Wednesday, but couldn't get an appointment until Friday. Referred to the emergency room, she drove herself to Methodist instead. As soon as the Tigers had the game locked up, the doctors ordered the room cleared and went to work on Beck.
Uncomfortable after the surgery, but otherwise fine, she plans to watch Sunday night's game in her hospital room.
"I don't want to jinx 'em. I think I'll just keep my mouth shut on that one. But it would just be wonderful if they could do it," Beck said finally, "it really would."
BracketRacket has often wondered how NCAA president Mark Emmert gazes into the mirror every morning without cracking up.
He's a tone-deaf monarch whose organization is being sued left and right, mostly by former college players seeking a few crumbs from the ever-expanding NCAA revenue pie they helped bake. Making money -- and keeping plenty -- might be the only thing the NCAA has done right since he showed up in 2010.
Small wonder, then, that during a contentious question-and-answer session following last year's "State of the NCAA" address, Emmert described his tenure this way: "If you're not getting sued today, you're not doing anything,"
So naturally, he doubled down this year with yet another self-serving commercial mythologizing the "student-athlete" -- an increasingly rare specimen in big-time college basketball and football, which provide nearly every penny of the NCAA's $6 billion annual budget, not to mention Emmert's nearly $2 million compensation package. And just as naturally, the commercial mostly features distance runners, soccer players, gymnasts and rowers.
We see them fail at first and then finally succeed. A solemn voice-over calls them "the provoked, the determined, the unified." But just like basketball and football players, you could also accurately call them as "the unpaid."
There's not time nor space to litigate the "pay-for-play" issue here; that's why we have courts. But if you're up early before Sunday's games with nothing to do, catch Emmert defending his version of shamateurism on "Meet the Press."
Especially if you happen to be a lawyer.
You know this guy: http://bit.ly/1h7AbDz
He was watching Florida overpower Pitt, but he's really a football guy and besides, his B.A. in economics is from Wesleyan University and not Florida, despite the "Gators" logo on his visor.
OK, so maybe he's just a huge fan of "Swamp Brothers."
But even that may not explain what New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was doing Saturday in Orlando, Fla.
"Well, he put the scouting report in today," Gators coach Billy Donovan said after the game.
"Coach has been great to me," Donovan continued, once the laughter died down. "I don't know how many years it's been, I went to Boston and met with him maybe after their third Super Bowl and have developed a very, very good relationship with him and got a great respect for him.
"He was in Gainesville, I guess. It may have been a pro day or watching practice, and he called me and said he wanted to come down for the game. I left him a couple tickets."

Amdocs acquires Cramer Systems
Just a day before Amdocs plans to report financial results for its fiscal third quarter of 2006, the billing and order management company has announced it is acquiring Cramer Systems Group for about $375 million.
Industry News
Briefing Room
The deal is expected to close during Amdocs fiscal fourth quarter, and will be paid for in cash, net of cash on hand, subject to post-closing adjustments, according to Amdocs. The two companies have worked together in the past, and the acquisition will combine Amdocs billing, order management and other operations support system and business support system solutions with Cramers OSS solutions, including network resource management, activation, auto-discovery and flow-through provisioning.
Dov Baharav, chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Ltd., said on a webcast late Tuesday afternoon that the acquisition will allow Amdocs to completely automate service fulfilment on an end-to-end basis, across all lines of business--for any service, on any network--linking order management at the customer layer with activation at the network layer.
He added, Carriers are transforming their OSS infrastructure to accomplish this. OSS is an area that we had already identified for strategic expansion. We were in OSS before, but in a much smaller way.
Cramer will become a new division within Amdocs, which will be the centerpiece of Amdocs OSS strategy and activities. Cramers current management will continue to lead the business.
Guy Dubois, Cramers president and CEO, said the deal could redefine the OSS industry. He might not be far off, as the acquisition of Cramer puts Amdocs more on par with the functions and OSS transformation capabilities of Telcordia, the company OSS Observer earlier this year ranked as the market leader in several OSS categories.

This B&B lived up to every online promise! The innkeeper could not have been more hospitable (her breakfasts were imaginative and delicious!); the room was spacious and clean and very comfortable. This definitely will be our "home base" when we find ourselves in Lancaster County again. Kudos to Denise and her family!

This is the second time we stayed at The Limestone Inn. I am happy to report that it is still the nicest B&B we experienced. We stayed in the 3rd floor rooms. Very clean and very relaxing. In my opinion, this is the best run B&B around. If you stay here, be sure to take a short walk to Sugar in Top Doughnut shop right off Main Street just a few blocks away. Oh yes, I almost forgot..The breakfast served by Denise so good! I love Strasburg!

Several friends and I biked to Strasburg from Philadelphia. We received A1 service. They opened their garage to our bicycles and adjusted their breakfast schedule to accommodate ours.

Best place to stay in the Lancaster area. We are frequent guests. Great food, beautifully decorated and conveniently located.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Limestone Inn. I think it is important to support small businesses and the price for a place to sleep and a homemade breakfast can't be beat! Thank you again for a relaxing time.
5 en junio 12, 2014
From the warm welcome, to the lovely neighborhood, to the clopping of Amish wagons, everything about this inn is wonderful. Our hostess, Denise, provided all the information we needed for a great trip. She even called to let us know that some of the things we wanted to see were not available on Sundays and offered to let us drop our things off earlier so we could tour the countryside. The only drawback is that we live so far away! This is a place I would visit on a regular basis (if it weren't 18 hours from home!).

This review has been a long time coming as it was last year that I spent time at the Limestone Inn. My apologies to the owners for the delay--life suddenly got crazy after my visit--but I promised that I would never forget to do this. Everything about my stay was perfect! Denise and her husband provide such a welcoming atmosphere, even my late arrival was not a problem! There is always coffee and fresh baked goods in the main entrance room. My room was really something special, with a fireplace and beautiful woodwork. The bed was comfy and cozy--extra little touches like candle lamps in the windows elevated the stay to a different level! Breakfasts were special delights with wonderful homemade quiches, amazing french toasts, homemade yogurt (a MUST!)....I also met some wonderful other guests at the breakfast table. I loved the public spaces most of all. The Inn has a large selection of books, and I found myself up late lounging in the beautifully appointed public rooms and outside patio to browse, read, relax....I came to the area for a show in Lancaster. I left feeling that the my stay at the Limestone was the highlight of the trip. Denise and her husband also own a restaurant a few blocks away (a wonderfully short walk) and the food was outstanding, and so was the bartender and the "regulars". I somehow got it in my head that the bartender's name was "Bob"--it wasn't!--but by the end of the evening EVERYONE was calling him Bob and he was really enjoying it! I had such interesting conversations with Denise (my choice!) The hosts will leave you to do your own thing if that's your choice. I am more of a "get to know my hosts and other guests" person, so really, it's your preference. Tracy Goodwin Natick, MA (at the time)....now Springvale, ME

My Panasonic battery charger Model DE-A59B has to be used with a travel adapter having uk's 13a 3pin out.
The adapter's inputs have four 'holes' appearing to take various plugs. The charger has flip-up plug of two flat 'pins', and plugs into the adapter. For me to use the charger where mains sockets are not our 13a 3pin, I would need a different adapter. Or does anyone know if these two flat pins fit another European mains socket ? That is without the adapter. Searched the internet and got nowhere with the problem. Or where to buy an adapter taking the chargers pins and for use in another country ? Geri.
Two flat pins about half an inch apart is a standard US plug. (Standard European is two round pins, and Aus/NZ two flat pins at an angle).
The easiest solution may be a travel adapter which allows a UK plug to be used in a different socket, keeping the charger and existing adapter together. These are widely available.

This Cupid heart card is a sweet way to say "Happy Valentine's Day" to a friend, family member, or even your teacher!
1. Parents should handle the craft knife as it is quite sharp. 2. If you don't have a cookie cutter, make a simple heart and trace it onto your foam. 3. If you prefer, you can write a longer note inside. If you choose to write something longer, write your message on the foam before gluing the top heart onto the lower heart.
Trace two cookie cutter shapes onto the pink craft foam. If using two different colors, trace once on to each color.
Cut the hearts out.
Lay the drinking straw across the front of one of the hearts. Position it at an angle, then holding the straw in place, use a pencil to lightly mark two dots at the "entry" and "exit" points where you want the "arrow" to go through.
Use the craft knife to cut slits in the heart, using the photo above as a guide.
Insert the straw through the slits.
Use the craft knife or scissors to cut a one inch slit down the center of the left end of the straw. Cut a triangle, about 2" in length, from the pink craft foam and insert it into the slit you just made in the straw. Add a little craft glue to secure.
Put some craft glue inside the other end of the straw and insert the two pink feathers.
Place the second pink foam heart on the table in front of you. Pipe a line of white craft glue to the top humps of the heart. Place the heart with the straw through it on top of the heart with the glue and line it up exactly. Let the glue dry.
When the glue is dry, open the card and write "hug me" inside!
