Zoner suspended for comment
Macary accused burgess, wife of lying
|Naugatuck's Zoning Enforcement Officer Steve Macary. Paul Singley Republican-American
NAUGATUCK — Zoning Enforcement Officer Steve Macary is serving a one-month unpaid suspension for what officials called "inappropriate behavior" after he accused Burgess Michael Bronko and his wife, Eileen, of lying during a public meeting.
While the Zoning Commission was considering on Aug. 22 whether to allow a tree fort in the Bronkos' back yard, Michael Bronko told the commission he had asked Macary four years ago whether he could build the fort and Macary had no objections. Macary insisted such a conversation never took place.

I have a new essay out this morning on Scott Bartlett's revolutionary film Off/On in Cinespect.
As I note, "Sometimes it's good to look back on cinema history and talk about the films that helped to shape the medium—films that are all too often forgotten today. Such is the case with Scott Bartlett's landmark film OffOn (1967), which, as filmmaker Charles Levine once observed in a conversation with me, 'changed the language of cinema.' Something like this could only come out of the crucible of the 1960s, when everything was being called into question, and no area of experimentation was left untouched.
Made for less than $1,000, OffOn is a dazzling cinema poem, and one of the first film/video mixes in American cinema history. For most of the film's nine-minute running time, the images are entirely abstract, until a long segment with a beating heart soundtrack gives way to a series of intensely complex geometric compositions. The film is loud, aggressive, and boldly colorful; it fuses a barrage of synthetic shapes with images taken from life (an eye, a woman dancing, a couple on a motorcycle) with abandon, and directly assaults the audience."
You can read the rest of the essay, and see the film itself, by clicking here, or on the image above.

A Mum By Any Other Name Would Be a Corsage
October 2, 2012
Everything is bigger in Texas. Even corsages. But these Homecoming corsages are not called corsages. They are called Mums.
For those of you who do not live in the South, or perhaps it is just Texas I am not really sure, that gigantic thing pinned to by daughter's shoulder is a Mum. A Homecoming Mum. A gigantic piece of tackiness that is somehow a status symbol. Of what, I do not understand.
The one my daughter is wearing is very understated. A plain, almost boring mum, in spite of the bells, glitter, beads and curly sparkling ribbon.
When we first moved to Texas one of my neighbors was talking about Homecoming and that her son had to get his girlfriend a Mum.
A mum? I had questioned. Because I was thinking of the potted mum variety that you use to decorate your front porch in the Fall.
Yes, a Mum. It's a tradition. The bigger the better.
Huh, I had said. Imagining a high school girl carrying around an enormous potted Mum, which seemed ridiculous.
And then I was schooled on what a Mum is. And it still seemed ridiculous. And ridiculously expensive. There are girls who wear several of these. Girls who have Mums that light up or have stuffed animals pinned to them. Girls who have Mums so heavy their back aches. Texans take their corsages seriously.
I made the Mum (assembled the mum?) my daughter is wearing. She was little wary when I said
Hell, no I am too cheap to spend $25+ on an already made Mum that you will wear for five minutes and then complain about and toss aside please oh, please let me make it for you! But I won her over with my threats of you will have nothing then! crafting and glue gunning skillz.
And for the record it cost me $6 in supplies and she wore it for about 6 minutes before she complained that it was weighing her down.

Completion of a significant research project is central to completion of the Master of Science in Health Sciences (MSHS) degree. Due to the importance of this program component, students must consider possible research project ideas before acceptance into the program. Therefore, the first step in the application preparation process for students interested in pursuing the MSHS is to contact the Program Director Elizabeth A. Gockel-Blessing at email@example.com or by phone at 314.977.8501. The purpose of this initial communication is to identify the student's research interests, determine how the student might be paired with a SLU faculty research mentor with similar research interests and assist the student in development of his/her personal statement. The student will also be asked at this time to submit his/her transcript indicating all coursework for Program Director evaluation. Student-issued transcripts are acceptable at this stage of the process. Examination of past course work and evaluation of the student's cumulative GPA then ensues. Based on this review and consideration of the student's initial areas of research, the student is connected to a potential faculty research mentor with similar research interests. The goals of initial conversations between faculty research mentor and student are to: (1) solidify a potential research topic, (2) determine the best program completion option (one year accelerated or two year) based on the research topic selected and (3) form the foundation for the development of the student's personal statement. This pairing and subsequent commitment by a faculty research mentor must occur prior to program admission. A description of possible research designs and example topics follows.
Description of a Possible Research Design
Once a research topic is determined and a faculty research mentor is secured, students work with their mentors to determine the specific research study for the MSHS program. Student studies conducted in the program fall into one of three broad research categories. Studies that examine numerical data belong to the quantitative category. Individuals who prefer examining non-numerical data, such as that collected during observations, interviews and document analysis may conduct studies that are qualitative in nature. A mixed study may be performed in instances when examining both numerical and non-numerical data are appropriate. Depending on the specific study, students may collect the data using test subjects/samples with subsequent analysis or they may examine and analyze data collected by others (called secondary data).
Example MSHS Research Project Topics
Below is a list of example MSHS research topics submitted by program research faculty mentors from which applicants may select. This list does not represent all of the research topic possibilities. Applicants have the option of proposing a research project on a topic other than those listed. Applicants must follow the application preparation guidelines detailed above for program admission consideration.
- Acute phase response
- Bacterial biofilms
- Behavioral determinants to disease distribution in populations
- Development and assessment of nontraditional teaching and learning strategies
- Development of diagnostic testing methods for use in developing countries
- Epidemiological studies such as examination of disease occurrence in select populations
- Innate immunity
Application Review Process
Applications are reviewed by the MSHS Admission Committee.
Program Description
Saint Louis University's Master of Science in Health Sciences (MSHS) program is designed for individuals with an undergraduate degree, preferably in a health sciences discipline. The MSHS is a 36 credit hour degree program that will equip graduates with the tools and skills necessary to assume a variety of roles in health care that may involve teaching, administrative responsibilities and critical inquiry. It is important to note that this program is not an MCAT preparation course. Rather, the program is in alignment with the rigor expected of students in graduate level professional programs. The program has the potential to enhance applications to such programs by ways of exposure to directed research. Students will complete a significant research project suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, professional presentation or scholarly equivalent by program completion. The ultimate goal of the program is to advance students' knowledge of health sciences fields and critical inquiry.
Credit Hours/Coursework
Students complete 36 hours of coursework in the program. Didactic coursework consists of required classes in Research Design, Biostatistics, Foundation of the Health Care System and Science and Philosophy. Students take a three-course sequence of Seminar courses that provides students with the tools to examine, evaluate, and present research works. Three elective courses are built into the program to strengthen students' knowledge base and skills to support the research component (students work with their faculty research mentors to identify appropriate elective courses). Students complete a significant research project under the direction of the faculty research mentor.
Program Completion Option
The length of time required to complete the MSHS program is one to two years, depends on the research topic and design, and is determined in consultation with a faculty research mentor.
Curricula & Program Details
To view the curricula for both the traditional two-year and one-year accelerated completion options and the MSHS course description, please click here.

The name Hisense probably isn't as well known as Sony, Samsung or VIZIO—at least not in the U.S. However, the China-based company is hoping to make a name for itself in the States, by setting up operations in Georgia and cranking out an affordable 3D option for consumers on a budget.
Hisense USA just announced the K316, a new line of web-enabled 3D TVs. Available in 42-, 46- and 50-inch sizes, the K316 boasts a full 1080p HD image, active 3D, 120Hz Smooth Motion technology, and built-in WiFi.
That connectivity allows viewers to tap into web-based services, such as Netflix, VUDU, YouTube and more, all from the included remote. That same remote provides on-screen access to the Opera web browser, in case you're in need of a big-screen web search or want to check email from the comfort of your couch.
Other features include LED backlighting, a 2D-to-3D conversion feature, one USB port, and four HDMI inputs.
"With intuitive controls, wide viewing angles and bright, responsive displays, it'll be hard to tear yourself away from the screen," said JoAnne Foist, director of marketing for Hisense USA. "It's difficult to find a better television with a feature set this comprehensive at these prices. For anyone wanting to upgrade to a new TV this football season or to get the latest in 3D sports, games, documentaries and movie content, choosing a new Hisense TV is a no-brainer."
Hisense is currently discounting all three of the K316 models. The 50-inch 50K316DW is currently on sale for $699.99 (MSRP: $1,099.99). The 46-inch 46K316DW is also selling for $599.99 (MSRP: $899.99), with the 42-inch 42K316DW available for $499.99 (MSRP: $699.99). A company spokesperson also says that hhgregg.com is currently offering one pair of free 3D glasses with any K316 purchase. Otherwise, the glasses are sold separately, with an MSRP of $79.99 for two pairs.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Like a lot of people whose phones have been replaced by demanding little robots, I have had some difficulty adjusting to the new technology. Thanks to smartphone games such as Words With Friends, there are no longer awkward pauses in conversation, or opportunities for quiet reflection. There are only chances to press buttons. I am that guy.
All of which is to say that while I will be geeking out appropriately at the Orlando Science Center's Otronicon video-game convention, I've got to admit that gaming hasn't done much for my social life lately.
So why am I here at a bar, one of the final bastions of socialization, surrounded by video games?
The bar in question is BART, one of the newer additions to Orlando's Colonialtown neighborhood. The venue's mash-up name evokes all the niches it hopes to fill: bar, arcade, art gallery. But anyone strolling up can take a good guess at BART's specialty, given the 8-bit design of its outdoor signage.
Sure enough, more than half the bar is a retro gamer's Shangri-La, with classic arcade games such as Q-Bert and Centipede all set to free play. No quarters neccessary — just set your beer in one of the handy drink holders and fire away.
Husband-and-wife owners Chris and Adrian Brown change out some old games for new ones each month, just like the art. The gallery wall typically sticks with BART's geek aesthetic, such as the current exhibit of "Legend of Zelda" themed works.
As a craft-beer bar, BART isn't going to steal any brew snobs from Will's Pub nearby, but no one will go thirsty. There's a modest selection of wine and a decent array of bottled beers — no drafts or liquor. High-end brews such as Hitachino Nest Sweet Stout can get pricey, but happy hours offer some tempting breaks on weekdays, with $1 off most beers from 5-7 p.m. (or a free second beer on Fridays).
Elsewhere in Orlando, the menu isn't the only thing looking familiar at Spacebar. The beer and wine bar was — and is — a great hidden spot for DJ nights in Robinson Street's Milk District. (Be sure to stop by for "Bring Your Own Vinyl" night on Thursdays, where your old records can win you free beers and/or some hipster derision.)
But lately, the place has undergone a subtle rebranding as "Spacebarcade," filling the smallish bar with its own spread of classic games. Originally brought in for a video-game-themed art show in November, the games caught on with regulars, and owner Tommy Mot aims to keep them around — and on free play — for at least the near future. As befits the vibe, "Spacebarcade's" arsenal is less recognizable, but funkier, with esoteric shooters such as R-Type standing in for the usual Pac-Mans and Donkey Kongs. There's an even weirder selection of pinball games — I may have nightmares from the backboard artwork on "Bride of Pinbot."
Funny thing about all this technology, though: The games don't isolate people at these bars. Most of the regulars play in pairs, either talking smack or just pondering the goofiness of this magic era before video games had a plot. (If the hero of BurgerTime is a chef, why do his own ingredients want to kill him? Is it because he steps on his hamburgers?)
Sure, I might have just been trading one small screen for a bunch of bigger ones, but I had a great time at both spots. "Barcades" may not replace billiards halls anytime soon, but in this age of "interactive" tech, I'm all for anything that actually lets us interact. Especially over a beer.

Police chief to step down10:10 am | December 1, 2012
Elizabethton Police Chief Matt Bailey announced Saturday that he will relinquish his responsibilities and move to a lower position in the department later this month.
In a written statement, Bailey, who has been employed by the EPD for 16 years and was appointed chief in 2007, said he asked City Manager Fred Edens to reassign him as a patrol captain.
"This decision is 100 percent of my choosing; influenced by no one," Bailey wrote. "This decision is based on personal reasons as well as the desire to spend more time with my family to meet my obligations with them."

I was asked by many friends and family to show more video of the car fire that happened on Highway 151 south of Anamosa on July 30th, 2007.
The Anamosa fire department responded within minutes after we arrived on the scene. The fire was extinguished in a matter of minutes. The man seen walking around on the side of the road was the driver of the car.

As I understand it, the letter we received concerning conversion to your "smart meter," (aka "standard" meter) program strikes me as pure extortion. Your lawyers and accountants triumphed over the "public" utilities commission. Congratulations.
Here's how it works. First, we must pay for the dubious installation of a refurbished - but still "nonstandard" - analog meter for a "fee" of $52.44. Add to that a monthly "fee" of $8.72 to have the freshly installed meter read.
On top of all that, the "tariff" strikes a real blow at us seniors on a fixed (and limited) income. We currently have …

Free 4G LTE data every month through 2014.
Who says you can only surf inside a 50-foot "Wi-Fi zone" in some coffee shop? Your tablet should work where you are, like in the car or at a park. Weren't tablets meant to set us free? We think it's time to un-leash from the chains of Wi-Fi.
Starting April 12th, new and existing T-Mobile customers with a voice plan…
How does it work? We've discounted our most popular mobile internet plans by $10 for the rest of the year. That means for voice customers, our 1GB plan available for only $10 per month is now free through the end of the year.
Now that's tablet freedom.
Only T-Mobile gives you a 4G LTE tablet at a Wi-Fi-only price!
A 4G LTE tablet gives you freedom the way tablets should—connecting you to the web from virtually anywhere with up to 4G LTE speed—just like your phone. But this connectivity always has cost extra, compared to a Wi-Fi-only tablet! Only we've changed all that.
This is huge. For a limited time and only with T-Mobile:
Who says you should pay more to keep connected? Not us. Experience tablets the way they were intended. You're one step closer to tablet freedom.
Trade in your Wi-Fi only tablet and trade-up to 4G LTE!
At T-Mobile, you can get a 4G LTE-enabled tablet at the Wi-Fi only price. Why would you ever settle for Wi-Fi only again? It's time to experience tablets beyond the Wi-Fi zone.
Bring us your Wi-Fi only tablet, we'll put the trade-in value towards a brand-new, always-connected, 4G LTE tablet that includes Wi-Fi. It's like two tablets for the price of one.
Stuck in a contract? Break free.
Want to bring your connected tablet to T-Mobile, but it's under contract and you're scared to leave thanks to your carrier's big Early Termination Fee? We'll pay that Early Termination Fee when you trade in your tablet. It's like this:
Break free from your carrier, switch to T-Mobile and get up to $650.
Experience tablet freedom AND contract freedom.
Set your tablet free on the fastest nationwide 4G LTE network.
The fastest nationwide 4G LTE network now reaches over 200 million people, faster than ever before. Now you can download, stream, and browse with our fastest experience ever. And you don't have to sign a restrictive annual service contract to get it.
Get download speeds that are now 2x faster than before with 4G LTE and get the most out of your tablet.

Boston >Food & Dining > Purple Shamrock
1 Union St, Boston, MA | Directions 0210842.360560 -71.056580
Monday To Saturday From 11:30 AM To 02:00 AM Sunday From 11:00 AM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central
Purple sham – The place is terrible do not ever go to the purple shamrock
irish pub with attitude (not in a good way) – The location is great, the place is packed, but they act like they are a notch above the other 2 million irish pubs in boston, which they aren't. It's just more of a scene than it should be which is a plus for some people and a turn off for others. I think the place has potential but needs to be toned down a bit
Rude staff – A friend and I were visting my sister in Boston. After walking all day, and sight seing, we decided to stop into the Purple Shamrock. What a mistake. First the waitress was rude and argumentative, we should have left right then. But we decided to stay cuz the windows were open and we were people watching. Our waitress finally brought our drinks and made sound effects for everything she put on the table like "bam bam" when she placed the appetizer plates in front of us. So not only was she rude, she was wierd too. It took over 30 minutes to get our appetizers and there were only 4 other tables in the whole place. Will never waste my time or money there again!
Will never go back – We were a table of 3 on a late Saturday afternoon. It was somewhat busy but not every table was occupied. The service was awful. The food was mediocre. We ordered our drinks and food and it took 20 mins to bring us our waters. 5 mins after that, my drink was delivered. 5 mins after that, my husband's drink was delivered. Ridiculous. After 35 to 40 mins later of waiting for our nachos (with chili), I was about ready to walk out. The nachos arrived, with no chili. Chips were cold and cheese was not melted, at all! We asked for the chili again. The chili was brought out by another server but it was a crock of chili (with melted cheese on top) with more chips! What? We said we didn't order this (b/c it was clearly not meant to be put on the nachos) and she said we did. Ugh, whatever. Our entrees came out soon after (no time to eat the tasteless nachos). We got burgers and they were good. But our waitress never came over to ask how we were doing. Getting another drink took forever! This place is so not worth it. Another person wrote a review and said he could only attribute the terrible service to race, but I highly doubt that as I was seeing it happening all over.
The Purple Sham-rock – After walking the Freedom Trail my lady and I looked around for something to eat. We liked what they had on the menu so we decided to try it. It was about 8 or 9 pm and the place was not crowded. There may have been five 6 tables and 5 staff. There was no wait and we were immediately seated. It took a while for them to come and take our order but that was no biggie. Our server, whose name I forget now, took our order and...that's it. He disappeared. We did not see him again until the check. The manager took over while our server was "busy" with other tables. Tables he did not have when we first arrived. For some reason he just stopped serving us...and the manager filled in but it was too late by then. After being ignored for the whole night by a server i could see working the rest of the room got me very angry. The service was horrible, the food marginal, and i did not feel welcome.
Being that we were the only black couple in there I can only attribute this to race.
Superb atmosphere – We had a great time there, there's dancing, karaoke, great drinks! Go there for what it is and you'll have a great time...They close at 2am which is good...
Great time at The Purple Shamrock – I really enjoyed Saturday afternoon beers with my girlfriends at The Purple Shamrock. We decided to stay for a beer and then watch the Patriots game. We didn't end up leaving 'til closing time. The waitresses were friendly & were always there when we needed them. Walter, the manager, was the highlight of our trip; he was the true Bostonian we were hoping to meet (great stories!). After 10pm it definatley turned into a college-age club. Not exactly my scene, but we still enjoyed it.
Definately recommend out-of-towners to visit The Purple Shamrock.
So much fun! – I love the purple shamrock! It's got a great atomoshpere and staff. Nick waited on our table and helped get our drinks out to us and he was so great! i know he is the manager but he really went above and beyond to help our table and his employee's. It's nice to see that, it isn't alway's the case! Thank you for great times! I will alway's bring my friends in!
Absolutely horrible staff! – This place would not even let me in! I had a valid MA driver's license that they stated "was not me". I had just dyed my hair brunette (it's blonde in the photo) and the idiot bouncer said that it was not me and he refused to letme in, even after I asked him to please go scan my license to prove it was me! I offered 2 of my other cards as forms of ID, but he just got another bouncer who asked us to leave. Unbelievable! I will NEVER EVER waste my time here again & I tell everybody I know not to either. Besides you can see right inside, and this is not a place for good loking people! I had a friend from out of town who wanted to give it a try though, but we will never be back again!
This place is lame. – With so many good places in Boston, why would you spend (waste) your time & money on one like this. We've gone a few times, hoping it'd get better, and it never - EVER - does. The bartenders are horrible - they're slow, completely rude, will overcharge as the night progresses (watch out for that) - pretty much horrible all around. The bouncers are actually ok, which is surprising. The bar itself isn't even fun. It has an irish name but is FAR from being a decent irish pub. The people are on the unattractive side of unattractive and don't seem to have much fun. I won't be returning.

I was reading DonXML's post about "Cool Tabs" and it made me think of some experiments I did a while ago with Flash and it's transparency feature.
If you set your Flash movie to a width & height of 100% and leave it's scale on the default setting (show all), give it an absolute position of 0,0 and a z-layer of being above the rest of the page and lastly use the transparency option, then you have everything you need to try this out.
One of the things I did with this was create a small character that could be dragged around the page and minimized (simmilar to the Microsoft Office Assistant), when a non-drag click was done the character would animate and provide interactive options, such as suggestions of places to go, allow feedback, provide a settings dialog, and allow customisation of the page/site. I never got past some early alpha versions of this, as none of my clients required it at the time. The other concerns were that the Flash movie always went behind combo boxes and list boxes.
The beauty of this design is that it allows a small Flash movie (that will be cached automatically) to provide a more interactive environment to the site, provided you're willing to deal with the compatability and design issues that may arrise.
Other advantages is that Flash can send/receive XML without a page refresh, combine this with Web Services and you can have a lot of functionality added to existing pages with a very minimal bandwidth cost.

Oh, to be able to draw. Best of luck with it friend.
Nice shirt, I'll pull up the Australian Road Rules (and the corresponding Victoria Road Rule). Back in a sec. . .
Yeah, it's illegal here too, I don't mind it but I find that most of the shoes I wear have better grip/traction than my feet.
Nice, though it would be cooler if they were in order of age with the oldest gun at the bottom and the blaster at the top.
I can guarantee that I will completely suck.

Just a heads up regarding the Nodetime: they now require an accountKey that you need to get by signing up at their web site.
@balupton great list of tools.
For those of us who come from Eclipse comfort, debugging can be a lot like you are used to with JVM: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Using-Eclipse-as-Node-Applications-Debugger
Shameless plug: I'm currently working on a something that's pretty similar (and started as a fork of) to node-inspector [1]. It could be interesting for people using coffee-script since it has support for source maps. And it works with the built-in DevTools that ship with Chrome.

Pharma Calls for a Pre-competitive Approach
While large pharmaceutical firms aren't known for being generous with their data, a small group of pharma scientists is looking to change that perception with a call for pre-competitive bioinformatics projects and enhanced data sharing in the industry.
In an opinion piece published in the September issue of Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, computational biologists from AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, and Pfizer argue that "high-quality, open and accessible data are the foundation of pre-competitive research, and strong public-private partnerships have considerable potential to enhance public data resources, which would benefit everyone engaged in drug discovery."
They add that many companies are already beginning to embrace this idea, and that for some firms, "the focus has moved from the vigorous pursuit of intellectual property towards exploration of pre-competitive cross-industry collaborations and engagement with the public domain."
The paper comes in the wake of several initiatives that aim to encourage pharma scientists to open up a bit, including the non-profit Sage Bionetworks, founded by former Merck scientists, which plans to build a pre-competitive platform for annotated models of human disease; the cross-industry collaborative initiative Pistoia Alliance, which is developing standards for non-competitive aspects of the drug-discovery workflow; and the European public-private Innovative Medicines Initiative, a collaborative effort in which several pharmas are pooling resources in hopes of lowering the overall costs of drug development.
The borders around this emerging pre-competitive informatics space have yet to be defined, the authors of the Nature Reviews paper wrote, but noted that a first step is creating public-private partnerships that can expand on existing public resources to create "a series of foundational informatics resources."
In addition, pharma firms need to explore new types of IT infrastructure and tool development."

Laura Oakes: Vintage Style, British Made
Store Profile
Location: Rye, England
Specialty: Illustrated lampshades, cushions and other home accessories. Revamped vintage furniture.
Price range: ($$$) High-End
Store History
- Founded by: Laura Oakes
The Laura Oakes store stocks lighting, cushions and re-vamped vintage furniture, as well as smaller items like mugs, bunting and one-off framed prints. Plans for a range of fashion accessories, including fluid silk scarves, are in place for later this year. Laura would eventually like to extend her home range to include such items as bedding and wallpaper, but tells me that her commitment to 100% UK production means that finding the right manufacturers for her products can be an obstacle.
In the meantime, this shop has a lot to offer, and is definitely worth a visit if you're planning a day trip from London.

Look Good Feel Better
For women
The Look Good Feel Better program is a free, national public service program that helps women cancer patients improve their appearance and self-image by teaching them hands on beauty techniques to manage the appearance side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Group workshops
Volunteer beauty professionals lead small groups, usually about 6 to 10 women, through practical, hands-on experience. Women learn about makeup, skin care, nail care, and ways to deal with hair loss such as with wigs, turbans, and scarves. Each woman gets a free makeup kit to use during and after the workshop.
One-on-one salon consultations
For patients who are unable to go to a group workshop, a free, one-time individual salon consultation with a volunteer cosmetologist might be available in their area. These trained beauty experts help each patient manage her skin, nail, and hair needs and also help her find ways to feel better about how she looks during treatment.
Self-help materials
Free self-help materials can be ordered through the Look Good Feel Better toll-free number, 1-800-395-LOOK (1-800-395-5665).
The self-help materials include a 30-minute video entitled Just for You: A Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Look Good and Feel Better During Cancer Treatment; a step-by-step instructional booklet, and an evaluation form. The video features cancer survivors and volunteers talking about the ways cancer treatment and side effects can affect the way you look. It also covers detailed skin care information, "how to" makeup tips, wig information, and pointers on head coverings. The booklet that goes with the video also covers nail care.
Materials are also offered in Spanish, and bilingual programs are available in some areas.
For more information, call our toll-free number, 1-800-395-LOOK (1-800-395-5665) or visit the Look Good Feel Better website at www.lookgoodfeelbetter.org. Visit the Spanish website at http://lookgoodfeelbetter.org/es .
For men
Self-help materials
A free self-help brochure for men can be ordered through the Look Good Feel Better toll-free number, 1-800-395-LOOK (1-800-395-5665) or through your local American Cancer Society office.
The self-help brochure is for men who are getting chemotherapy or radiation treatment. It gives them information on how to deal with the way treatment and side effects can change the way they look, as well as other information that is useful during this challenging time. The brochure also features a tear-out sheet of steps to help men with their daily skin and hair care routines. This brochure is available in English and Spanish.
For more information, call our toll-free number, 1-800-395-LOOK (1-800-395-5665) or visit the Look Good Feel Better website for men at www.lookgoodfeelbetterformen.org.
The Look Good...Feel Better program
The Look Good...Feel Better program was founded and developed in 1989 by the Personal Care Products Council (at the time called the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, or CTFA), a charitable organization supported by the cosmetic industry, in cooperation with your American Cancer Society (ACS) and the Professional Beauty Association, or PBA a national organization that represents hairstylists, wig experts, estheticians, makeup artists, and other professionals in the cosmetic industry.
All cosmetology volunteers who are part of the program attend a 4-hour certification class to become a Look Good Feel Better volunteer.
Look Good Feel Better is free, non-medical, and salon and product neutral. Volunteers and program participants do not promote any cosmetic product line or manufacturer. All cosmetics used in the group program have been donated.

Natural source of Vitamin C

This product comes at a great price and all natural source of vitamin C. Conveniently in capsules for when you are not making a shake so it's easy to take with meals. Doesn't hurt my stomach either. Reviewed in April 2012. I've decided now that I prefer to use products that don't have any magnesium Stereate in them or any expedient which are just in there to facilitate the movement of the powder in the machinery that puts the powder in the capsules. Not really great stuff for the body however. I usually prefer now to take my Vitamin C in powder form which reduces the need for any fillers or expedients and also see if other companies can provide capsules without those added ingredients. However I've been a long time fan of Now but use them for powder form supplements mostly.
Exellent value on a whole food source of C

Much has been written here on the benefits of this product and I agree with much of it. I have been using Vitamin C for over 25 years in different forms. From my personal experience I totally believe that the benefit of a Whole food vitamin is superior to isolated synthetic vitamins. I have also found from experience, when you get your vitamins from whole food sources you don't need to take huge amounts to get the same benefit as you would with a synthetic. I use to take 3-5grams of Ascorbic acid a day. Usually multi-dosing through out the day. Most ascorbic acid today is manufactured from Corn. Mostly GMO corn. Why would you even want to consider taking that? With a whole food source you are getting all of the other constituents (like the bio flavonoids) that work synergistically with that vitamin. This is the way your body was designed to absorb nutrition. To me, this seems very logical. You would not put diesel fuel in your sports car? Put in your body the fuel it was designed to run on. I take two caps of these a day. One with Breakfast and one with either lunch or dinner. When I am feeling run down I will double my dose and maybe add some additional B-vitamins. I do feel a difference. Much more than when I was taking synthetic C in much higher amounts. This is a great product, however,I am only giving this 4 stars vs. 5 because I am disappointed NOW does not offer this in a bulk powder form and allow folks a greater savings. I find more and more people on fixed incomes are not taking important supplements or are substituting cheaper multi-vitamins.

I take 2-6 grams of this daily, since it's used up so fast in the body. My body absorbs this naturally derived form of vitamin C better than any other. It knocks out colds fast in the early stages, too. I also noticed my gums have become much healthier, although this was all I changed. Just wish there were bigger bottles!

Vitamin C is a critical ANTIOXIDANT! However, most Vitamin C supplements are synthetic ASCORBIC ACID. You can't beat the power of REAL fruit-based Vitamin C along with flavonoid cofactors!

About a 1 1/2 years ago I installed a Nuvo water softener. I seems to be working pretty good. My home hard water test kit showed a hardness less than 2, but mineral deposits were still forming on the shower fixtures and in the toilet. Hence the decision to go with the Nuvo rather than the usual softener system.
Since you're probably already thinking this I'll respond proactively. The Nuvo technically is not a softener. It uses the chemical process called chelation. The mineral molecules are wrapped in whatever the specific chemical is in the Nuvo cartridge, some sort of citric acid compound. This same chemical process is used to extract bad stuff out of a human's blood so it is not voodoo science, like magnets!!! The mineral molecules remain suspended in the water and pass through into the drain.
Anyway, there was a fair amount of deposit built up from the 2 to 3 years before I installed the Nuvo. I'm still trying to get it cleaned off. Ordinary cleaners, including toilet bowl cleaners, haven't worked. Any suggestions? Diluted muriatic acid does not readily clean off the deposits and I unfortunately learned too late that it turns chrome dark. I just now learned here on the forum that I should not use acid in my Toto toilets. So how do I get the deposits out of them, and the Toto vanities? I'm already going to have to replace the drain in one vanity because I tried toilet bowl cleaner on it. Ate the chrome right off.
Help me out, please, if you can! A search on the forums here came up empty.
