The Directors Guild of America has set Nov. 4 for contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers.
The DGA, which named Michael Apted and Thomas Schlamme as its negotiating committee co-chairs in February, has usually gone first in recent negotiation cycles between the AMPTP and the guilds.
In a joint announcement Wednesday, the guild and the AMPTP -- which serves as the negotiating arm for the companies -- said they have already instituted a news blackout: "The DGA and the AMPTP have also agreed that neither organization will comment to the press regarding negotiations until negotiations have concluded."
Hollywood's other two major unions -- SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America -- have not yet locked in a start date for negotiations for their successor deals to master contracts covering features and primetime TV. The WGA deal expires May 1 and the SAG-AFTRA deal runs out June 30.
The DGA's current three-year successor pact -- negotiated at the end of 2010 -contains a 2% annual wage hike and a boost to 15.5% from 14% in pension and health contributions.
The DGA has tended to be the first of the major Hollywood unions to reach a deal on its master contract with the congloms during each negotiating cycle, though SAG went first during the 2010 cycle as part of its previous pact with the AMPTP. Both SAG and the DGA reached a deal before the end of 2011 -- more than six months before the master contracts expired.
DGA leaders have long espoused the notion that negotiating well before expiration is the best strategy for extracting the best terms from the AMPTP with a "premium" in exchange for the guarantee of labor peace.
The WGA West's leaders told members earlier this year that they did not expect negotiations to start until next year -- which is line with the writers strategy of negotiating closer to expiration in hopes that the looming threat of a work stoppage may encourage companies to make the best deal possible.
As for SAG-AFTRA, the performers union has already announced that it will hold its "wages and working conditions" process beween Jan. 27 and March 14.
The DGA came into the spotlight in early 2008 during the latter stages of the bitter WGA strike, closing an agreement spelling out specifics of jurisdiction over new media productions and reuse, and guaranteed access to the new-media deals and data. The new-media provisions in the DGA pact subsequently became the template for the WGA, SAG and AFTRA deals.
The DGA has continued to spend funds on consultants and its own research department to generate data and projections for the negotations. Its leaders tout that data as being more accurate than what's generated by the individual companies because of the broader scope of the guild's sources.
Apted served as DGA president for three terms from 2003-2009 and oversaw the negotiations in 2004 and 2008. He was first elected to the DGA national board in 2001 and joined the DGA in 1978. He's also had an extensive career in film with "Coal Miner's Daughter," "The World Is Not Enough," "The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Trader" and the "7Up" documentary series.
Apted was re-elected secretary-treasurer of the DGA in June when Paris Barclay was named president, succeeding Taylor Hackford.
Schlamme is best known for collaborating with Aaron Sorkin on "The West Wing," for which he won three Emmys. He was elected Third VP of the DGA in June.
National exec director Jay D. Roth will continue to serve as chief professional negotiator.
In recent years the unions have remained on relatively good terms with employers -- so much so that the last round of negotiations in 2010-11 with the AMPTP was completed largely under the radar and without controversy. In all three successor contracts, the key gains were a 2% hike in minimums and a 1.5% increase in employer contributions to the pension and health plans.

Côtes-du-Lubéron became an appellation d'origine contrôlée in 1988. Since then, great improvements have been made in the quality of its wines through rigorous vinyard selection, stringent varietal requirements and lower yields.
Vinyards are located on both southern and northern exposures of calcareous mountains called the "Lubéron". The climate, cooler than that of the Rhône Valley, explains the importance of white wine production in this region (25%).
Peter Mayle's best selling book A Year in Provence has contributed to the popularity of this beautiful region. As a result, Lubéron wines are becoming increasingly sought-after. Its white wines are well-rounded, with a clean, crisp finish.
"Fresh and forward, with solid plum and black currant fruit mingling with hints of garrigue and warm stone. Tasty."

Ask a Question
The Man in the Iron Mask is a name given to a prisoner arrested as Eustache Dauger in 1669. He was held in the custody of the same jailer for 34 years. His identity has been thoroughly discussed because no one ever saw his face, which was hidden by a mask of either black velvet cloth or iron. What facts are known about this prisoner are based mainly on correspondence between his jailer and his superiors in Paris.
The first surviving records of the masked prisoner are from July 1669, when Louis XIV's minister sent a letter to the governor of the prison of Pignerol informing him that a prisoner named Eustache Dauger was due to arrive in the next month or so. Historians have noted that the name Eustache Dauger was written in a different handwriting than the rest of the text, suggesting that while a clerk wrote the letter under dictation, a third party, very likely the minister himself, added the name afterwards.
The governor was instructed to prepare a cell with multiple doors, one closing upon the other, to prevent anyone from the outside listening in. The governor himself was to see Dauger only once a day in order to provide food and whatever else he needed. Dauger was also to be told that if he spoke of anything other than his immediate needs he would be killed. According to many versions of this legend, the prisoner wore the mask at all times.
The prison at Pignerol was used for men who were considered an embarrassment to the state and usually held only a handful of prisoners at a time, some of which were important and wealthy and granted servants. One prisoner, Nicolas Fouquet's valet was often ill and so permission was given for Dauger to serve Fouquet on the condition that he never met with anyone else. The fact that Dauger served as a valet is an important one for whilst Fouquet was never expected to be released, other prisoners were, and might have spread word of Dauger's existence.
In time the governor was offered positions at other prisons and each time he moved Dauger went with him until he died in 1703 and was buried under the name of Marchioly. Though she may merely have been repeating rumours In 1711, King Louis's sister-in-law stated in a letter that the prisoner had "two musketeers at his side to kill him if he removed his mask".
In 1771, Voltaire claimed that the prisoner was the older, illegitimate brother of Louis XIV but other theories include that he was a Marshal of France; Richard Cromwell; or François, Duke of Beaufort; an illegitimate son of Charles II, amongst others.

BOSTON- Already playing with a lineup missing three regular contributors, and having to add a designated hitter for Interleague Play at Fenway Park, the Reds were quite shorthanded on Tuesday night vs. the Red Sox.
But this was a game that could have been won, and the Reds knew it. In a game where both clubs missed early chances repeatedly, the Red Sox handed Cincinnati a 4-3 loss in 12 innings on Grady Sizemore's walk-off RBI single off the Green Monster.
"We've been beat up from Day 1. It's no excuse," said left fielder Ryan Ludwick, who had a double and sacrifice fly. "That's baseball. Some teams get hurt. Some teams don't. Unfortunately, we've caught a couple of bad breaks as far as guys with injuries."
The Reds lacked Jay Bruce, who was on the disabled list and Billy Hamilton, who is dealing with two sprained left knuckles. Brayan Pena did not start behind the plate in favor of rookie Tucker Barnhart. Rookie Neftali Soto, now 2-for-27 in the big leagues, was the DH.
"These guys don't want any sorrow from anybody. None of us do," said manager Bryan Price, who has had a big league high 11 players on the DL this season. "We're not going to lower our standards or our expectations and say, 'We're not supposed to win against the better teams because we're a little banged up.' It was a disappointing loss. It was a game that was winnable and we didn't win it."
Back in late January, the Reds thought they had Sizemore all but locked up to make his comeback in Cincinnati after two seasons out of baseball because of knee injuries. Then at the last moment, Sizemore jumped on a deal with the Red Sox. On Tuesday to cap a game that stretched over four hours, he burned his former suitor.
Reds starter Homer Bailey wasn't crisp, but he got through six innings and allowed three runs and five hits while he walked five (one intentional) and struck out five. It was good enough for a quality start and a no-decision.
"They had some really good at-bats. Of course, I was kind of all over the place and they took advantage of it," Bailey said. "I had several walks, which is kind of uncharacteristic of me. I just didn't have the right feel tonight. It was just one of those games that I had to grind out.".
"I think any time you lose a game, you think about missed opportunities," Ludwick said. "Obviously, it's tough when you play extra innings. Guys always want to win those games. It's a momentum builder a lot of times. It's a tough one. We've got another one tomorrow."

Have a Very Merry and Cuisinart Christmas
Christmas is in HOW many days?!?!? But I'm not done with my shopping!
Lucky for me, I work at Harmons. I can do all of my last minute shopping at work! Well, except for my kids stuff . . . pretty sure they don't want a blender. The rest of my family and friends, on the other hand, are going to have a very Cuisinart Christmas!
Here are a few gift ideas that will help you to avoid the death trap that we call "The Mall" this year . . .
The Cuisinart Popcorn Maker: This gift is not only fun, but health conscious. With only a teaspoon of oil, you can have 6 full cups of popcorn. Much better than feeding your family that stuff that comes in a bag. Not only that, but the top doubles as a popcorn bowl, and the thing is dishwasher safe!
The Cuisinart Waffle Maker: But Karen, who even makes waffles anymore? I do, I do! Too often, breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit. While my kids (gotta love em) will happily beg every morning for a chocolate covered, sprinkle coated, sugar sugar cereal, Mommy prefers to have a nice warm meal in their bellies more often than not. Eggs are fine, pancakes are great, but there is nothing like homemade blueberry waffles. Yum!!
The Cuisinart Ice Cream maker: What better way to bring a family together than ice cream! Back in the day, homemade ice cream was a serious pain in the rump. Salt, and ice, and crank crank crank . . . Ugh, no thank you! Here is how I make ice cream…
- Freeze the core of the machine (I just leave the core in the freezer all the time, that way it's always ready when I get a sweet tooth)
- Mix milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla.
- Throw it all in the machine, and flip it on.
Bam! Vanilla ice cream!
It doesn't get much easier than that. And of course, the machine comes with all sorts of great recipies for ice cream, frozen yogurt, and even sorbet. My personal favorite… Lemon Basil Sorbet. Oh my gosh yum! There I go making myself hungry again.
Anyhoo, Merry Christmas! Happy Shopping! And Good luck!!

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel.
In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced.
They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three
maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border
to assist in framing.

Question: Let me preface this by saying The Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite shows, and I have been with them since Day 1, but after watching the premiere episodes on the first Monday of the season, I see a very disturbing trend. Sheldon is rapidly becoming the next Fonzie/Urkel. In the early days of the show, Sheldon was odd but likeable, and you always rooted for him. Now as he is being written, he is becoming more and more obnoxious, as evidenced in the way he treated Amy and the others in the two episodes last week. When shows have a breakout star like Jim Parsons, that person becomes the go-to guy in almost every episode, at the expense of the remaining cast members. Am I wrong in my assessment, or do you think a little less Sheldon and maybe a little nicer Sheldon would be better for the show and the audience? — Terry
All aboard! The Big Bang Theory hits the road in Season 8 — but not for long after Sheldon's (Jim Parsons) 45-day cross-country train ride goes off the rails. While on a mission to find himself, the socially awkward genius actually finds himself trapped in Kingman, Arizona, with all his belongings stolen. He calls roommate Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and girlfriend Amy (Mayim Bialik) for help. "Sheldon can certainly still ruin Leonard's day," Galecki says with a laugh. "But there's a degree of fatherly patience that Leonard has with Sheldon that I find touching."
A multi-year renewal not only means job security (and $1 million an episode at that), but allows for long-term story planning. For The Big Bang Theory producers, however, it means business as usual. "The three-year pickup is great and wonderful, but it's not going to change what we do," executive producer Steve Molaro tells TVGuide.com. "The way we've done things has worked out pretty well so far!" Fall TV: Scoop on your favorite returning shows That method means never looking further ahead than the episode in front of them. So, even with Penny (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) engaged now, it'll be a while before you get a Save the Date. "I don't think we feel pressure to hit these milestones," Molaro says. "I'm sure some fans want ...read more

Question: You are probably going to get a lot of angry email about how Orange Is the New Black and True Detective didn't win any of the major Emmys. But I think they may have suffered from submitting in the wrong category, and some of the voters probably didn't want to get more viewers angry after letting both OITNB and True Detective submit in the wrong categories. So glad for Julianna Margulies' win for The Good Wife and Jim Parsons' win for The Big Bang Theory. But the biggest shock for me is Sherlock's three wins, couldn't be any happier. Which win/snub shocked you, and do you think OITNB and True Detective could have won more awards if they had submitted in the proper categories? — Aadil
If you take comfort in the Emmy Awards' almost shocking predictability in rewarding so many of the same shows and stars year after year, this might have been your favorite Emmy show ever. Otherwise, good luck distinguishing this rather dreary ceremony from any other year's. Instead, maybe it's worth looking ahead to next fall, when Breaking Bad will be out of the running and (lighting a candle to the Academy powers that be) Mad Men's Jon Hamm might finally get his Emmy after losing seven in a row, although at this point I wouldn't count on it. (It would help if Mad Men raises its game for its last stand.)
Seth Meyers continued his breakout year Monday night as the host of television's biggest night, the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Hosting a major awards show is ostensibly an honor, but increasingly, in the world of live-tweeting, a thankless assignment — and one that was made even more tedious by the fact that this year's Emmy telecast occurred on a Monday. Did Meyers rise to the occasion?
Breaking Bad's farewell tour went out on a high note, as the AMC drama won five awards including drama series at Monday's Primetime Emmy Awards, while Modern Family completed a historic five-peat. Bad, which also scored drama series last year, became the sixth show to win for its final season after The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Barney Miller, Everybody Loves Raymond and The Sopranos. It's also the first to win the top prizes at ...

Perimenopause Remedies
Last Modified on Sep 16, 2014
Treatment of perimenopause includes a variety of lifestyle changes and therapies as well as naturally supporting the body with supplements. A balanced diet and exercise help regulate the body's natural balances as do other therapies including acupuncture and massage. Additional dietary support, such as magnesium and other supplements can also relieve issues associated with perimenopause.
What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause literally means "around menopause" and is a term used to refer to the period during which a woman's body makes the transition toward menopause. While women begin the process at different ages, it typically beings in a woman's 40s. Common symptoms include menstrual irregularity, hot flashes, sleep problems, mood changes, vaginal problems, bladder issues, decreasing fertility, changes in sexual function, loss of bone and changing cholesterol levels.
Natural Remedies to Support the Transition to Menopause
The symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause are directly connected to changes in hormones. As such, effective treatment options support the transition by maintaining more constant or consistent levels throughout the change. A variety of lifestyle changes support overall health while supplements including citicholine, coconut oil and magnesium maintain constant nutritional levels to minimize symptoms during this time.
Citicholine is a naturally occurring brain chemical that regulates cognitive processes and function. When taken as a supplement, the compound relieves issues related with memory and forgetfulness, an important component of perimenopause.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is an effective treatment option for treating several symptoms of perimenopause. Taken internally, coconut oil can prevent hormonal imbalance and treat such issues as hot flashes, excessive sweating and headache. Coconut oil can also be used externally to treat vaginal dryness and general skin dryness.
Magnesium is a vital nutrient for regulating a variety of bodily functions. Low magnesium levels are a common contributing factor associated with symptoms of perimenopause. As such, a magnesium supplement can prevent symptoms and treat the condition internally.
Perimenopause is known as the transition toward menopause that is marked by a number of uncomfortable symptoms for women. Natural treatments including supplements and a balanced lifestyle limit the symptoms and facilitate a smoother transition.

Hello, a friend of mine, who is well into menopause recently told me about citicholine for short term memory issues and stroke recovery. I am having short memory issues in the past month and wonder if my estrogen levels have dropped recently (I am peri-m). Does anyone has experience with this supplement and can you please provide feedback (how much you take a day, etc)? I just ordered it online and will report back in a few weeks. Thank you!

Approval Ratings SIDE EFFECTS (2) 100% Posted by Juno (West Hollywood, California, Usa) on 03/24/2010
[SIDE EFFECTS] Hello everyone,
Since I wrote about my terrible reaction to coconut oil (the skin on my neck got cracked and soooo dry) I am not going near coconut oil. I have had many other symptoms for which I am not blaming coconut oil, but I am sure the oil did exacerbate my particular situation. Things like internal shaking, anxiety and all kinds of aches and pains. Things like feeling I'm on caffeine when it's time for bed and I am certainly exhausted.
After so many trials and doctors I now know that these are all premenopausal symptoms, which in other words mean that hormonal balance is changing in my body and doing all kinds of numbers on me (emotionally too of course). If coconut oil stimulates the thyroid that definitely explains the strong adverse reaction to it.
During menopause some women's thyroid becomes under active and for others it might become overactive (Hypertension, Hyperthyroidism) so it very much depends on your specific constitution.
What am I doing to relieve these symptoms? The answer is not simple.
I am trying very carefully monitor the effects of different foods and to find the right balance of exercise and the right supplements like magnesium, zinc, E and others which are known to be helpful.
I am trying to de -stress my day as much as I can.
Meditate and teach myself to take it easy and let go. (as a mother of two young kids that is a feat in its own right.)
Anyway, I am only writing all this to suggest to many women who might be going through all kinds of weird things to take into consideration that the onset of menopause might be the cause of many a strange sensations and emotions. Hope this helps.Posted by Amanda

900 PostsDid you start by taking a lot at once? I am 52, have just started cooking and taking coconut oil and the only side effect was constipation, no idea why as I haven't suffered from it for many years. Maybe the secret is starting only with cooking as you will only use a bit with every meal and go on from there. No menopausal symptoms here and I am a lot older. Also no other symptoms like someone just mentioned here like sleeplessness (I often don't sleep very well anyway), restfulness and so. I now only rub it on my skin twice a day as it is very dry and will use it only with cooking for a while before I start taking an extra spoonful or two a day.Posted by Kingsuites
01/29/2014It is possible that nervousness, anxiety, heart palpatations, the feeling of being wired but tired, are all the result of too much of a drop in progesterone. I went through this, and after being misdiagnosed, several years later had a hormone saliva test from ZRT labs indicating high cortisol and low progesterone. A blood test did not show this, because it does not indicate what hormones are in the tissues. I was told by a Naturopathic Doctor who worked under a cardiologist in his office, that cortisol and progesterone compete for the same receptor cites. So if your body is low in progesterone, guess what - the cortisol makes you feel wired, nervous, anxious, cause insomnia, etc. It became a viscious cycle with me because I couldn't sleep and still had to function with toddlers, so my cortisol was up from just trying to survive. I ended up with chronic fatigue from it. I was eventually prescribed topical bioidentical progesterone cream from a compounding pharmacy. You can get other creams like this in the health food store. It really helped but took about 3 mos for it to build back up in my system. I have been taking it for over 10 years now. I always wondered, why in the world was my progesterone low in the first place? What is interesting is that later on, a health consultant told me that if you have fungus in your system (small intestine/stomach, maybe from too many antibiotics, which I definitely had growing up) that the fungus will use up the progesterone in your system. This was confirmed to him by someone he new in the pharmaceutical industry who worked in a prescription drug producing lab that grew fungus in a progesterone environment to get the mycotoxin to make the drug. All in all, the root for me was to try to eliminate the fungus. What a challenge that Candida is. Still haven't done it, though I've tried a tone of stuff. Since I found that fungus can lead to cancer, I found out about the Budwig Instuitute in Spain on this EarthClinic site. They gave me a link to a home remedy for killing fungus, which I think is the best so far. You can contact them and ask for it.Posted by Julie
7 PostsI'm surprised there is so little about perimenapause. I started having it in my 30's thanks to having ezcema. It seems to be caused by a combination of acidic pH and yeast. I take black cohosh, MSM, and korean ginseng. I have found the ginseng and cohosh make a great combination to sleep at night and help my pH. I have had to go on a strict alkalizing diet of nothing but veggies and apples. I alkalize my water. The yeast die off symptoms are terrible but they do lesson over time. Also there are natural hormonal creams on line. Doctors are no help so far.

I am in my late 40's and had experienced dizziness twice already. I don't know if this is influenced by my premenupausal syndrome or i am just a diffecient of some hormones and vitamins and lack of sleep. I want to know what are the natural foods to eat to maintain my health. I don't want to depend so much on drugs.

[YEA] I had to write after reading the above post of our 'highly primitive long process of dying'. Not primitive at all. Human women are unique in the animal (and mammal) kingdom. We live for many years after our reproductive years which is to our (and humanity's)great advantage. Menopause means going into our crone years... Seemingly undervalued by today's society... Misguided as it is. Because this is our time women! Estrogen drops by 75%, progesterone drops by 99% but testosterone by only 50%. That means we have more testosterone (ratio wise) than ever before. I'm going to quote Leonard Shlain here... 'with these radical hormone changes that control personality come dramatic shifts on a woman's psyche. Indecision is replaced by clearheaded assertiveness and when we are freed from our child-rearing responsibilies and re-enter the world on our own terms we can exert a wider influence on the welfare of the society. ' As Margaret Mead once said "There is no greater power in the world than the zest of a postmenopausal woman."
So let's embrace this time in our lives as the beautiful second prime that it is. Yes those symptoms need to be resolved but looking at menopause in a more empowering way can also help. We relinquish our power of fertility but become so much more with our wisdom, surefootedness and commitment to action.Posted by Bess

04/12/2011Thanks, Bryana, for such an empowering and uplifting comment. So many women (especially in North America) are worried that menopause is the "end" of things, yet, in reality, it's the beginning of a whole new adventure. Margaret Mead was right - it's time to embrace the new you! Cheers, Bess (and, yep, I'm a postmenopausal woman)Posted by Granny Laura

37 PostsThere are many formulations you can find at the drugstore or discount store that will provide moisture for menopausal women. I chose one that didn't have mineral oil (highly allergic) but does contain hylauronic acid. It really does work.
I have for many years taken a formula by Nature's Way called Change O' Life. I originally took it to help w/hot flashes. The smoother skin and enhanced libido are just side effects! I can live w/that.... :-DPosted by Erin

09/07/2013Thank you for that post. I am looking forward to my vital postmenopausal years. In the meantime, how do you deal with the symptoms of ovulation at low ebb? It feels like I'm on the verge of a heart attack or stroke every time I get a period, and since mine are no longer regular it's impossible to predict when it will strike. I'm so tired of being sick and tired. But it's nice to know there is something to look forward to.
Excessive Sweating Remedies 0 0Posted by Ruth (Birmingham, Uk) on 05/02/2013
I am 54 years old & still menstruating, however, the last couple of months I have begun to have sweaty armpits.... No hotflashes, no night sweats... I figure this the onset of menopause. It is most embarrasing though. Is there a solution? Or a way to control this issue... I know it is the natural process, but I can't wear anything with sleeves nowadays> HELP!!!Posted by Joy
Battleground, Wash
05/02/2013I never sweat a drop until I was pregnant and after the baby was born, no more sweat.
Then menopause came and I sweat on a regular schedule.
I haven't tried to stop it since it is one of the ways the body cleanses.
A magnesium deficiency will cause hormones to go out of balance sooner than they would if a person has their minerals in balance. Most cal mag supplements have too much calcium 2/1 ratio and our diets cause a calcium overload, which cause health problems of many sorts but especially heart issues because calcium makes the muscles tighten and magnesium relaxes them A magnesium deficiency presents in many symptoms... Muscle problems of tension and headaches and TMJ and the list goes on. Hope this helps.... Find the right magnesium for yourself through research. Then if you get your minerals in balance, since the body need them for the electrolyte system to work, and vitamin D helps them all do what they do. Most people are low D unless they run around with shorts and tank top in the sun.
If you still need help, after that... Try a dab of progesterone cream... bio identical.Posted by Michelle
11/06/2013I am 46 and definitely have the sweating issue too. I have noticed that caffeine makes it much worse!!! One cup of coffee makes me sweat like a marathon runner! I did have green tea this morning and did not sweat, so maybe the lower caffeine content was ok for me.

I am just wondering, after looking at a number of different ailments/remedies, why there isn't anything on here regarding Perimenopause or Premenopause. Many of the symptoms that I see from women over the age of 35 are suspiciously the same as what the perimenopause symptoms. Irregular heartbeats, weight gain, adrenal fatigue, anxiety, depression, and on and on. And whereas using progesterone cream to help balance out the hormones during this phase of life, which can last over ten years in some women, may not cure everything. It can more than likely help solve most of the issues some of these women are having. I'm finding that most people and many doctors are clueless about this subject so finding answers is difficult. Some input or thoughts on adding this subject would be greatly appreciated by many!!!!

03/04/2010Hi Grace, Like you I would like to see feedback on this subject. I know you see ACV mentioned in almost every post and you may be using it too. I have noticed that the hot flashes have decreased to few and far between since I began ACV 2 months ago, btw acid reflux symptoms are dulled to a few flare ups depending on what I eat. However, I find I am more irretable and anxious which turns into crying spells. My husband gets worried and thinks something is terribly wrong with me and wants to help. Then I feel guilty and ashamed for I have unintentionally hurt his feelings. He knows that he can be the ear that listens to me and that really helps. Then there are the little things that don't matter like putting the dishes in the right place can trigger an unwanted emotion like a domino effect.
Back to the supplements, I have started Turmeric which I feel will help with multiple ailments. Post some comments, all of us going thru or those that have been thru menopause can learn from one another. EC is number one forum for me, a daily visitor. Take care!Posted by Erin

11/06/2013One thing that has helped my moods dramatically is myoinositol. It's used for fertility, but I also read where it has helped people with (true) obsessive compulsive disorder to calm their tics. It has really leveled me out. I take 3000 mg a day, per what I have learned from research online. The one I take is by J----ow (I do not have any affiliation with them-that's just what I found for a good price). I have also had some luck with Maca. The dosage is really important. I started with 1000 mg grams a day, but didn't see much difference until I increased it to 2000 mg a day. This helps balance hormones and helped me with pms-like symptoms. Some women say it helps with hot flashes and sleeplessness and increases your libido. Good luck!Posted by Kt

04/20/2010If you suspect your B-complex is giving you problems, you could try switching brands or forms. I had bought a liquid form with the aim of better absorption - it wasn't long before I realized it was making me quite irritable. The capsules I have, on the other hand, have been pretty beneficial. They are the same brand, oddly enough! I don't know why the difference in effect, but it's just something you might consider before stopping B's entirely.Posted by Dara

It seems that WE are the help that we need, so lets keep finding out what works and writing it down. It seems that peri menopause remedies are really hard to find. I realized yesterday at 44 that I am not insane nor falling apart but I am changing. At this time I have nothing to contribute but will start trying ACV and go from there. . . . ALSO does anyone have a good women's vitamin for Perimenopause? I tried Internet sites but they all want my arm & leg. Natural is better. . . . .

01/08/2011This is pretty basic thinking but...
After 50 years a woman is no longer reproductive so whatever happens to her body after 45-50 is not a result of evolutionary pressures, thus women are stuck with this highly primitive long process of dying. I guess having a healthy grandmother would have implications on the survival rate of grandchildren but other than that I can't see an evolutionary reason for us to be around long... I have only thought about this 5 minutes before writing so there are probably some holes in my theory! Men keep reproducing for much longer so they are implicated even in old age in the evolutionary process.Posted by Lily

108 PostsHi Mesem, your post is interesting. I read a chapter on menopause from a book by a doctor who believe's supplements are the key to health so she is one of us, and her theory is that we women have trouble sleeping at night during and after menopause because in a tribal setting we would be looking after our non sleeping grandchildren, and the mother can have a well earned rest. More food for thought! Cheers Lily.Posted by Brightyoga

The actual practice of law is much more rigorous than law school. Law school is basically college with lucrative summer jobs and crippling debt. Drinking every day, last-minute cramming, and generally winging it on exams are not out of place. That said, continuing the college-honed approach to my class work in no way conflicted with my understanding of proper professional behavior. I could slap together a paper for "Law and Super Mario Bros."[1] or whatever seminar I was in and immediately shift gears to drafting well-researched and meticulously prepared memos for partners for my summer gig.
So while ATL is on record as a proponent of encouraging law schools to offer more concrete professional training, it's not necessary to make class run like a day in the office of the worst partner or in the courtroom of a judicial diva.
That's why, even though justified as an effort to train students to succeed in the persnickety world of trial practice, we really don't need this professor's three-and-a-half pages of single-spaced rules drenched in condescension….

After some music generalities (what is a musical instrument and a musical sound? What is music?), the author presents a (then) new electronic instrument: the icophone. The icophone is a vocoder that incorporates a visual representation of sound - it can be operated as a text-to-speech synthesiser. The article concludes with an example of visual representation and correspondences between graphical objects and their sound realizations.

In Almost Every European Country, Bikes Are Outselling New Cars
Krishnadev Calamur, npr.org
We know that Europeans love their bicycles — think Amsterdam or Paris. Denmark even has highways specifically for cyclists.
Indeed, earlier this month, NPR's Lauren Frayer reported that Spain, which has long had a love affair with…
Bionic leg is controlled by brain power
A team of specialists has designed a bionic prosthetic leg that can reproduce a full range of ambulatory movements by communicating with the brain of the person wearing it.
The act of walking may not seem like a feat of agility, balance, strength and brainpower. But lose a leg, as Zac Vawter did after a motorcycle accident in 2009, and you will appreciate the myriad calculations that go into putting one foot in front of the other.
Taking on the challenge, a team of software and biomedical engineers, neuroscientists, surgeons and prosthetists has designed a prosthetic limb that can reproduce a full repertoire of ambulatory tricks by communicating seamlessly with Vawter's brain.
A report published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine describes how the team fit Vawter with a prosthetic leg that has learned — with the help of a computer and some electrodes — to read his intentions from a bundle of nerves that end above his missing knee.
For the roughly 1 million Americans who have lost a leg or part of one due to injury or disease, Vawter and his robotic leg offer the hope that future prosthetics might return the feel of a natural gait, kicking a soccer ball or climbing into a car without hoisting an inert artificial limb into the vehicle.
Vawter's prosthetic is a marvel of 21st century engineering. But it is Vawter's ability to control the prosthetic with his thoughts that makes the latest case remarkable. If he wants his artificial toes to curl toward him, or his artificial ankle to shift so he can walk down a ramp, all he has to do is imagine such movements.
The work was done at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago under an $8-million grant from the Army. The armed forces hope to apply findings from such studies to the care of about 1,200 service personnel who have lost a lower limb in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We want to restore full capabilities" to people who've lost a lower limb, said Levi J. Hargrove, lead author of the new report. "While we're focused and committed to developing this system for our wounded warriors, we're very much thinking of this other, much larger population that could benefit as well."
The report describes advances across a wide range of disciplines: in orthopedic and peripheral nerve surgery, neuroscience, and the application of pattern-recognition software to the field of prosthetics.
Weighing just over 10 pounds, the leg has two independent engines powering movement in the ankle and knee. And it bristles with sensors, including an accelerometer and gyroscope, each capable of detecting and measuring movement in three dimensions.
Most prosthetics in use today require the physical turn of a key to transition from one movement to another. But with the robotic leg, those transitions are effortless, Vawter said.
"With this leg, it just flows," said the 32-year-old software engineer, who spends most of his days using a typical prosthetic but travels to Chicago several times a year from his home in Yelm, Wash. "The control system is very intuitive. There isn't anything special I have to do to make it work right."
Before Vawter could strap on the bionic lower limb, engineers in Chicago had to "teach" the prosthetic how to read his motor intentions from tiny muscle contractions in his right thigh.
At the institute's Center for Bionic Medicine, Vawter spent countless hours with his thigh wired up with electrodes, imagining making certain movements on command with his missing knee, ankle and foot.
Using pattern-recognition software, engineers discerned, distilled and digitized those recorded electrical signals to catalog an entire repertoire of movements. The prosthetic could thus be programmed to recognize the subtlest contraction of a muscle in Vawter's thigh as a specific motor command.
Given surgical practices still in wide use, the prospects for such a connection between a patient's prosthetic and his or her peripheral nerves are generally dim. In most amputations, the nerves in the thigh are left to languish or die.
Dr. Todd Kuiken, a neurosurgeon at the rehabilitation institute, pioneered a practice called "reinervation" of nerves severed by amputation, and Vawter's orthopedic surgeon at the University of Washington Medical Center was trained to conduct the delicate operation. Dr. Douglas Smith rewired the severed nerves to control some of the muscles in Vawter's thigh that would be used less frequently in the absence of his lower leg.
Within a few months of the amputation, those nerves had recovered from the shock of the injury and begun to regenerate and carry electrical impulses. When Vawter thought about flexing his right foot in a particular way, the rerouted nerve endings would consistently cause a distinctive contraction in his hamstring. When he pondered how he would position his foot on a stair step and ready it for the weight of his body, the muscle contraction would be elsewhere — but equally consistent.
Compared with prosthetics that were not able to "read" the intent of their wearers, the robotic leg programmed to follow Vawter's commands reduced the kinds of errors that cause unnatural movements, discomfort and falls by as much as 44%, according to the New England Journal of Medicine report.
Vawter said he had "fallen down a whole bunch of times" while wearing his everyday prosthetic, but not once while moving around on his bionic leg.
He said he could move a lot faster too — which would be helpful for keeping up with his 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. But first, Vawter added, he needs to persuade Hargrove's team to let him wear it home.
Wow, this is amazing! Really hope this becomes widespread, it could give so many people a sense of normalcy after losing a limb.

3D Printing of Liquid Metals at Room Temperature
Researchers at NC State have developed a way to print liquid metals into 3D structures at room temperature. The structures are stabilized by a thin oxide 'skin' that forms on the liquid metal. The approaches shown here represent new ways to direct write metals in 3D. In addition, the resulting components can, in principle, self-heal ( "Self-healing stretchable wires"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfAOEt1eNFU) and be ultra-stretchable ( "Ultra-stretchable wires" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlVuIK5wAj0).

Kickstarter Beats Out the Government in Funding the Arts
- Yasha Wallin posted in Creativity, Art and Kickstarter
Since its inception, crowd-funding site Kickstarter has funded more than $600 million in arts projects, and $323.6 million in 2012 alone. The National Endowment for the Arts only has an annual budget of $146 million, of which only 80 percent are grants. Individual donors have long been the backbone of the art world (arts nonprofits spent $60 billion last year), the disparity in collective action supporting the arts on Kickstarter versus the government is cause for concern—and reflection.

For the first time, people with broken spines have recovered feeling in previously paralysed areas after receiving injections of neural stem cells.
(Image: Medical Images/Getty Images)
Three people with paralysis received injections of 20 million neural stem cells directly into the injured region of their spinal cord. The cells, acquired from donated fetal brain tissue, were injected between four and eight months after the injuries happened. The patients also received a temporary course of immunosuppressive drugs to limit rejection of the cells.
None of the three felt any sensation below their nipples before the treatment. Six months after therapy, two of them had sensations of touch and heat between their chest and belly button. The third patient has not seen any change.
"The fact we've seen responses to light touch, heat and electrical impulses so far down in two of the patients is very unexpected," says Stephen Huhn of StemCells, the company in Newark, California, developing and testing the treatment. "They're really close to normal in those areas now in their sensitivity," he adds.
"We are very intrigued to see that patients have gained considerable sensory function," says Armin Curt of Balgrist University Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, where the patients were treated, and principal investigator in the trial.
The data are preliminary, but "these sensory changes suggest that the cells may be positively impacting recovery", says Curt, who presented the results today in London at the annual meeting of the International Spinal Cord Society.
This is one of the stem-cell news articles that I've been waiting for years to read. Cannot wait to see where this goes!
New antenna speeds up Wi-Fi by 200x.
Researchers in Singapore have developed a tiny antenna able to produce wireless speeds of 20-Gbits per second, which is 200 times faster than current Wi-Fi speeds.
The tiny device measures 1.6 x 1.2mm, which also makes it the smallest silicone based antenna to date. The antenna differs from previous antennas by being filled with a polymer instead of air, and the team says the technique is suitable for mass production.
Wireless power could revolutionize highway transportationA Stanford University research team has designed a high-efficiency charging system that uses magnetic fields to wirelessly transmit large electric currents between metal coils placed several feet apart. The long-term goal of the research is to develop an all-electric highway that wirelessly charges cars and trucks as they cruise down the road.

Peppered with tales of flawed family traits passed on from previous generations, Ruby's narrative examines the lives in her disjointed clan, which revolve around the family pet shop. But beneath the antics of her philandering father, her intensely irritable mother, her overly emotional sisters, and a gaggle of eccentric relatives are darker secrets--including an odd "feeling of something long forgotten"--that will haunt Ruby for the rest of her life.

Using video surveillance on college campuses
Answers to common questions about putting digital eyes on campus
St. John's worked with IBM to build a network-based integrated digital video system using both existing and new cameras. It started with 165 cameras on the network but expanded to 250 as needs changed and buildings were remodeled. Public Security conducts a risk assessment of buildings to determine camera placement. Two officers in the command center watch 15 monitors 24/7. While cameras have captured live incidents, Lawrence says they are mostly used to gather evidence for investigations.
The new system offers a number of benefits to St. John's and its students, including reliability, functionality, and productivity. Today officers can review digital video at 40 times the speed of VHS tape, which amounts to about five minutes versus watching eight hours of video for a specific incident. The cameras also help public safety officers monitor crowds at events and follow the weather during an emergency situation.
"The new system is so user-friendly," Lawrence says. "Officers bookmark scenes and I can go right to them."

Four Years Too Late Lyrics - Killing The Dream
Just pick up a place, and I'll be there. Pick anything that's what I'll be. Give me anything tos ay, even if it's nothing. That's all you'll hear. Everything was never enough for you. Do you ever say my name? Or do you ever write down broken thoughts and turn them into songss to throw away? Do you ever close your eyes and wish they'll never open again? I do, it's always worse in silence...No lies to tell no one to hear. When air turns cold. We sleep alone. Everytime I try to say your name it's always worse on nights like this. And every night is just like this. How many times have you closed your eyes and wished to just be happy? Every night ends just like this, for me because we'll never be. We'll never be.
