I am sorry ahead of time but I am so frustrated right now. My husband and I are 28 and 29 and a lot of our friends are that or younger. Some seem to not be growing up and taking care of their personal issues. While we take care of our daughter Morgan (two and a half) we watch friends of ours (or people we know) just whine about everything their child does or what is wrong in their life. I know that I should be sympathetic but when I hear " My kid is sick and has a cold, I feel so horrible for them." I go really???? You want to see sick??? I know that you don't want to hold your super skinny child while they are throwing up like the exorcist, end up covered in their chemo puke, have to clean everything up only for it to happen again the minute you are done. Then watch them try to throw up but there is nothing left in their skinny body, they are shaking, they are as bald as can be and the next day they get more of the poison that is making them so sick!!!
Also, we have friends complaining about making enough money. Money.... you really want to go there??? Cancer treatment is expensive and before our new health care bill went through my daughter went over her lifetime max!!! REALLY??? AND I can't go back to work full time because she needs the care.
I just want to scream but I know that people never believe that anything really bad will ever happen to them. I am frustrated and the only place I can get it out is here so SORRY!
You came to a right place.
On this journey, I've found that a few of my friends are really there for me, but others simply cannot be. In some cases, I think the concept of a truly sick child with cancer is too much for them. The very thought of it overwhelms them, or it simply doesn't compute. It is so beyond the world they live in, they cannot comprehend it and it's as if we are speaking Martian. And frankly, to me, it's as if they are speaking a foreign language back to me. They are in their own kind of denial. So they say weird things like "we are so upset because our pet has cancer...." really? your pet? how sad. The thing is, a year ago, I would have said it with heartfelt sympathy. I'm sure having a beloved family pet that is ill is tough,especially on the kids, but today I have more important things on my mind and the thought that your sick dog is in any way comparable to our situation is.....insulting. Or, about my son's difficulty walking due to neuropathy "I had trouble walking when I was a kid, so I know what you mean, but I'm fine now and he will be too." No, I don't think you know what I mean and gee, I wish it were that simple and I will feel lucky if he gets to grow up and luckier still if he is still able to walk. Mostly, I think people mean well, and I try to look past their words to see that well-meaning part shine through, but some days, I'm especially down in the dumps and their words hurt, they don't help. So, when that happens to you, just write a letter like this,....."Calling all Martians!" and somebody here will hear you.
I wonder...if I say to someone who is truly well meaning and is overwhelming me, maybe if I said "I'm sorry I can't have this conversation right now. I'm so anxious about our own situation that this is stressful for me. Could we talk about......fill in the blank." I wonder how that would work? I tried it with my Mom, and it pretty much worked, but she's a pretty safe person to try it out on because I'm 100% sure she's on my side. I've never tried it on anyone else, and I'm not sure how well I'd take it if they got mad. Well, it's a thought.
You have all my prayers for peace and strength.
I understand how you feel. I never want anyone to go through this. But after seeing your child fight for their life, all of lifes other problems just seem like nothing. One of my daughter's tried out for cheerleader. She did not make it and was fine with it. But there were 40-50 other girls crying like life was over. I had a hard time, not saying you are healthy just be happy.
I am a 30 year old mother of a CK and have had thoughts like this as well. I completely understand how you feel!! I get tired of hearing the day to day whining of some people I know as well. I have friends that act like the world is ending because their kid has diarrhea.
But...My opinion may not be welcome or popular, but here goes. I realized it is somewhat MY problem that I feel this way. Of course those things are what bother them because that is their reality. Cancer is not. Those things got me really upset before leukemia was in the picture. And praise God that cancer is not their reality. They can't possibly relate and their view of what is important or devastating is different from ours because there life experience is different. Try not to be so hard on them or on yourself. Pray they will never know the experiences and fear that we know. The view of what is really important in life changes when something changes your life you know? Let yourself be angry at them, but try not to hold it against them in the long run.
That being said. We are all here for you and never apologize for venting here!
I totally agree with you. I try really hard not to let it bother me. And sometimes it even makes me laugh (if I'm in the right mood). But there have been a few times that I have wanted to throttle someone on the spot. I think one of the worst places is Facebook, because everyone posts the most mundane ridiculous things. One of my friends wrote the other, "worst day ever, spilled my coffee on my new shirt." It took every ounce of self control not to write back. I had to remind myself you can't take something back if it is written. It happened to be one of the first days in the hospital when we weren't sure what was going on. It was our first hospitalization since diagnosis, so it was scary for us. He was in for a 6 day stay for a neutropenic fever that he had trouble breaking. My own brother who was out of town at the time, made this comment to my mom and I am having a hard time wanting to speak to him again. He asked my mom how things were going. And she told him they were pretty terrible when he was gone. His comment was "terrible? well everythings fine now and Gavin's home so what's so terrible?" He has been back two days and yet to call. But, I try to remind myself most people haven't had to worry whether or not their child will grow up. And, the the things that seem little to us are big to them. I also have started to see that a lot of people see leukemia as a no big deal cancer. I wish they knew he reality. Most people think saying, "let me know if you need anything" is being supportive. I take comfort in the small group of amazing people who have been there every single step of the way and genuinely help and care. I hope you have at least some close family and friends who are supportive and helpful.
I know that to other people they don't understand and no one ever believes their child may not grow up but it is still hard. Yes i bite my tongue all of the time but recently I let it go and got the reaction of "HOLY COW!!"
Someone I know mentioned how the cure rates for ALL are awesome and that todays science in the medical field is wonderful. While I agreed with them about the science, I let it go on the cure rates and statistics. I was like sure everywhere you see awesome success rates and stories.... but have you ever noticed it is all of the different kinds of ALL lumped together. T Cell ALL is in that statistical number and never seperated. My daughters type of T Cell ALL was compared to a higher risk AML. Not a good feeling. Unfortunatly people only believe what they see and read, and that is not always correct.
Then another day I had someone say that leukemia is better than having a tumor somewhere and I lost it. Excuse me??? In a way, sometimes crazy way, I feel as if a tumor would be easier to deal with. they can remove a tumor. Leukemia is everywhere that blood is because it is a blood cancer. They just had no idea and it broke my heart. I try so hard not to be angy at people but when my emotions are high I really should just stay in doors and not talk to anyone. It is hard. I guess I am still angry and there is no one to angry at.
Don't be sorry about venting here. Until people are affected by something they just don't get it. Your friends are young and will accumulate life experience. We are 50 so a lot of our friends have been through health issues with their parents, their spouse, friends or child by now. I don't think people mean any harm; they just don't know any better. I have no patience for people whining about little things in life, but quite honestly I didn't have patience for that pre-cancer either! My daughter has Down syndrome, so I already experienced stupid statements out of people's mouths. Right now my pet peeve is parents moaning about empty nest syndrome. Really? I can't wait for my 16 year old daughter to get out of the house and turn human, and if my 12 year old daughter lives to be old enough to move out of the house AND is capable of living semi-independently I will be so happy for her to achieve something other people take for granted. And the whole money griping is just inevitable. Everyone's situation is different and everyone has different priorities for money. Unless you've had a major medical condition for someone close to you it is hard to comprehend how much treatment costs. I could get onto a soapbox about people thinking not everyone needs health insurance but I won't. Feel free to vent here and sending good thoughts and prayers your way.
Don't know why my iPad made my prior response one huge run on paragraph. We have a love/hate relationship.
I am sorry that you have had to deal with some insensitive folk. I haven't had to deal with too much of this, so maybe it is accurate to say that older people, whose peers are more likely to have encountered life-changing medical issues and tragedy, are less likely to say something ridiculous.
However, there is a thread for the awful things people have heard:
I'm not sure if this will help. Sometimes it is necessary to be deaf. Sometimes it is necessary to be thankful that the other person has NOT encountered an equivalent health challenge, and bless their ignorance.
You can always come here and complain, in detail. Leukemia is just not fair. You have every right to be angry and frustrated etc.
Some comment is rightly made....facebook is lousy place to go back to....One of your friend will write I am out of town and missed my anniversary........And 25 of your 80 friends will feel sorry about it.....Big deal...Here in 7 months we never found time to live a single happy moment....
Facebook gives you so much pain looking at your 80 friends complaining daily for nothing...They are enoying life....God bless them....
Sarah, I am very sorry you are having to deal with this horrible situation! But I can tell you this, age makes no difference in people saying really stupid things. It is all about life experience. That is what builds compassion and empathy. I have young friends who have said dumb things and I have "not so young" friends who have said dumb things. In the beginning it was really hard for me to deal with the comments. I would just cry and be mad. Sometimes I would say something back. But now, 3 months off treatment, I can laugh and be so thankful that my life has so much clarity now. I can see what is important to me and I can feel sorry for those that still take the little stuff so badly. I do still simpathize with any parent who has a sick child, no matter the extent, because I remember being there. I remember Austin getting fevers as a baby and feeling very scared. So I try to remember that and think that while it isn't cancer or chemo, it is a kid not feeling well. And that is never fun. So, go easy on yourself for now. Once things calm down a bit, it will get easier to laugh at. And by the way, we are the same ages, 28 and 29. Austin is 11 though. We had him in highschool!
Sarah -
Yeah this is a big one. I think I am more surprised by the people that don't even try to understand. It is as if they can't even bother to think how they would feel if it was their child.
The disconnected speech about ALL statistics - that one really gets me as they have no idea that the reasons these numbers have gone up is due to the current limits of toxicity being pumped into our children. Plus - numbers....really? I mean yeah I need my kid to get through so I am glad he has good "odds" but we are not rolling dice here. It is one pill, one dex pulse, one hospital stay at a time. And the heck with the numbers because I need them all to get through -- all of our children.
I originally tried to avoid responding to this because this is likely the most surprising and saddening aspect of the entire proccess for me. Josef has had 8-10 short 2-3 day stays in the hospital since induction and the lack of response from some friends and even family was stunning. Or when he is on dex and feeling miserable and people will come over and not even bother to engage him but instead wander around our house talking about nonsense - Hello, if you want to help great, if not please leave because I cannot entertain you while my kid is feeling awful. Fortunately most people do not do this and when they engage him while he is feeling bad it makes all the difference. Maybe some people think our kids get used to being sick and feeling like crap?
Sort of leaves you speechless when they tell you about a cough or sore throat a few days later - I mean what can you say. I just keep my mouth shut. Maybe this occurs partly because we always try to stay positive for Josef and the family and friends who are concerned? From my disjointed and rambling response I guess it is clear this has been a frustrating issue for us as well.
You are not alone that is for sure -
People seem to experience emotional fatigue and either don't see, or don't want to see, that we do too but we don't have a choice to disengage or not. We are pushing 3 years (Aug. 17) of treatment and we won't go OT 'till Jan. 2014 so I can only imagine how much worse our relationships with so many real world folks is going to get. Joey's been in the hospital 2 weeks tomorrow and I can count the numbers of visits we've had on 1 hand. Honestly, I'm starting to change from a highly social person to one who is either here at Children's or at home because I'm sick to death of hearing excuses about why people don't visit or even send a card. If you have time to think up an excuse, you had time to send a text message at least. I'm done with making excuses for people and looking the other way. Fortunately, we have decided to change Joey's school and the new community has already embraced him. 2 Moms brought down 5 boys yesterday to play PS3 and eat pizza. That's more than his old school community, or our neighbors, have done for him in the last 2 1/2 years.
Sarah, the "good cancer" myth continues even in the world of pediatric cancer. A leukemia diagnosis is referred to as a "blessing" on the 46Mommas page by a Mom whose child was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and later died. I have full sympathy for her loss, but I did contact them (the group contact person, not the particular Mom) and ask them to please consider changing the post as they are perpetuating a myth that certainly does not reflect our reality. I got back a very kind and sincere seeming answer assuring me that the group agreed that educating the public is one of their key goals and the post would be changed. A month later, it's still there.
good cancer. I'm not sure how anyone can even put thos two words in a sentence. it makes my head spin. How can anyone think 2-4 years of chemotherapy be "good"
I guess for the first time I'm glad to be older! At least we have friendswho have kids now, and who could try to imagine what we were going through, at least at first. The problem I think now, is that people see us out and about, and figure we're good. No worries. Right now, I'm so tired, I don't even care!
If you lived near us we could be good friends!! My husband and I are both 26, half our friends (ok more than half) don't even have kids, or are just now having new born babies, they don't understand what children mean to parents in the first place, let alone what a sick child means. I see the same things you do.. "I'm having a horrible day, no lunch break and I broke a nail" really? Or the ones who do have kids and take the time to email me after their child had a 5 hour er visit for an ear infection, because now they "get it" and when in reallity they still don't. I almost feel insulted that they even compare such expierences. But, I do realize they are trying...and I also realize I don't want them to understand, because if they did they would be in our shoes, thats the only real way to "get it"
We all just see life from a totally different perspective than everyone else now that cancers touched us. I deff think its tougher to find the empathetic support system when your young parents though. 20 somethings tend to be rather self absorbed if they haven't decided its time to grow up yet.
Sarah - You are not alone in what you are going through. Most of us have experienced it and know what you're fealing, so no need to say Sorry to us..... Yes, we get it and you have are absolutely in your righte to vent here.......Yes, you do feel cheated..... Cancer makes you feel robbed of that childhood period that others are experiencing. Even after my daughter being in OT, I still feel somewhat in the same way as you do when I see parents (including relatives) make a big deal about their kids minor illness. However, remember that you've met many friends (in virtual world definitely and hopefully in real world too) who completely get it and are always there to give you a helping hand. I am grateful that I found many such friends in this journey.
Take care and God Bless,
I have to admit I have felt that way, too. And I am always comforted and impressed by this discussion board where parents are going through similar and unique things. Everyone is supportive and respectful.
I have also been on the other end, though. Sometimes I complain about steroid week, inpatient stays, the length of treatment and late effects. But I know so many children who have passed away or who are disabled (from treatment, autism, birth defects, accidents, etc.) to the point of being completely dependent on someone for the rest of their lives and realize that I can deal with what I've got and I'm glad we have a good prognosis. Even so, I post the updates. I definitely don't want them to be offensive, though, and hope that other parents realize that. I also know it can change any minute... I still do complain once in a while about stupid things that don't deserve much attention - but mostly in a funny way! And I do feel bad when my older son gets strep or a flu - although my sympathies are often tempered by trying to keep him from spreading germs to my ck!
So, I guess it is all relative. In any case, I'm incredibly grateful for the support I get here and on sites like FB.

Abstract: Numerous molecular abnormalities contribute to the genetic derangements involved in tumorigenesis. Chromosomal translocations are a frequent source of these derangements, producing unique fusion proteins with novel oncogenic properties. EWS/ETS fusions in Ewing sarcoma are a prime example of this, resulting in potent chimeric oncoproteins with novel biological properties and a unique transcriptional signature essential for oncogenesis. Recent evidence demonstrates that EWS/FLI, the most common EWS/ETS fusion in Ewing sarcoma, upregulates gene expression using a GGAA microsatellite response element dispersed throughout the human genome. These GGAA microsatellites function as enhancer elements, are sites of epigenetic regulation and are necessary for EWS/FLI DNA binding and upregulation of principal oncogenic targets. An increasing number of GGAA motifs appear to substantially enhance EWS/FLI-mediated gene expression, which has compelling biological implications as these GGAA microsatellites are highly polymorphic within and between ethnically distinct populations. Historically regarded as junk DNA, this emerging evidence clearly demonstrates that microsatellite DNA plays an instrumental role in EWS/FLI-mediated transcriptional regulation and oncogenesis in Ewing sarcoma. This unprecedented role of GGAA microsatellite DNA in Ewing sarcoma provides a unique opportunity to expand our mechanistic understanding of how EWS/ETS fusions influence cancer susceptibility, prognosis and transcriptional regulation.
Keywords: EWS/FLI; ETS family transcription factors; transcriptional regulation; oncogenesis; microsatellite DNA; microsatellite polymorphisms

Does Mission Hills Alemany football Coach Dean Herrington truly believe that "defense wins championships?"
"Of course we believe that," he said Saturday morning.
Then how do the Warriors expect to win a Serra League championship after needing to score with 45 seconds left to pull out a 49-42 win over Sherman Oaks Notre Dame on Friday?
"We're pretty good on offense," he said. "People are still going to have to stop us."
Yes, Alemany (6-1) is still the Serra League favorite, thanks to quarterback Devon Dunn, receivers Steven Mitchell and Devin Ross and running back Deshone Randall.
Dunn passed for 282 yards and ran for 122 yards and two touchdowns.
But Alemany faces La Puente Bishop Amat (5-0-1) on Friday night and ends the regular season against Encino Crespi (7-0), and it remains to be seen whether the Warriors are going to be able to rely simply on outscoring teams in shootouts.
"We'll get better on defense," Herrington said.
Injuries forced Alemany to start four sophomores and five juniors on defense.
"Whenever you give up 42 points, you're worried," Herrington said. "But we know they're correctable mistakes."
As for the 5-foot-11 Dunn, who scored the winning touchdown on a four-yard run, Herrington said, "He was awesome."
Roosevelt is in first
Los Angeles Roosevelt (6-1, 3-0) took control of the Eastern League with a 40-34 victory over South East (5-2, 2-1). Gilbert Herrera, taking a direct snap, scored three touchdowns.
"It was Herrera running behind 10 blockers," Coach Javier Cid said.
San Fernando rolls along
San Fernando (6-0) continues to cruise in the Valley Mission League behind junior quarterback Cristian Solano, who completed 11 of 13 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 53 yards and one touchdown in a 54-6 win over Panorama.
State record
Receiver Drew Wolitarsky of Canyon Country Canyon has set a state record for career yards receiving. He has 4,585 yards receiving after catching nine passes for 149 yards and four touchdowns against Golden Valley. Former Taft receiver Steve Smith caught 271 passes for 4,486 yards. Wolitarsky has 240 receptions.
Playing like Peyton
There's probably lots of colleges that wish they had recruited 6-4 senior quarterback Chad Kanoff of Studio City Harvard-Westlake. He made an early commitment to Vanderbilt and what a steal he is.

Zombies. Vampires. Undead things that should not be. Now the undead share their tales, with two-dozen brain-feasting, blood-sucking, revenge seeking stories from horror writers around the globe.Includes works by award-winning writer Michael A. Kechula (also editor of Flash-Tales), Donna Taylor Burgess (editor, Naked Snake Press), Ontario Arts Council grant winner Alexander Zelenyj, and many others.
"Stories like Josh Benton's "Waking Finnegan" and Arthur Sanchez's "Old Habit, New Habits" are entertaining and wickedly funny spins on the zombie motif, while David Bartlett's "A New Year's Tale" affords us an intriguing story of sacrifice and salvation. And Patricia A. Collins' "Alone in the Dark" provides a predictable, but still satisfying, vampire story of false innocence." Tim Hartley, SFReader.com
"Yet as difficult as it is to find new ways to write about the walking dead, but Dead Men (and Women) Walking contains a handful of works that find fresh or amusing new approaches to its subject matter." Dru Pagliassotti, The Harrow.
This product includes the PDF galley of the book as well as jpeg files of the front and back covers.

The Deal: Budget-friendly Plus-Size High-Low Skirts from Torrid
The Lowdown: Sexiness is a state of mind, not of your vital stats. Just ask Nigella Lawson (an absolute goddess in her 50s) or Whitney Thompson, ANTM's first plus-size winner. Nonetheless, a little help here and there never hurts. Take, for instance, the high-low dress trend, which draws eyes toward the uneven hemline drama and away from our more ample assets. The lightweight material also amps up the sexytime factor while matching the summer season trends. We picked out five of our favorite plus-size high-low dresses on a budget at Torrid.

About Me Collector, Education Oriented, Parent of Two or More Children
I wanted to be able to display my collection. Some of the holes were hard to punch out and the quarters didn't fit easily. I had to push sides in a bit to get them to fit. But I do like the album and am glad to have something for my collection

Folder for Nat'l Park Quarters
By MisterG
from Door County, WI
The Folder is attractive without ever adding a quarter because the plugs are colored accordingly. The plugs are easy to remove and the quarters fit securely. Probably wouldn't hurt to have a second folder so the Denver and Philly mints can be kept separately. It is attractive enough to give as a gift to children and grand-children.

How You Will Feel
How you will feel during the cleanse
Each person feels differently as they cleanse. Some feel very energetic and more alive while cleansing; others not until after they have completed their colon cleansing procedure. It is also possible to alternate between feeling great and not so great.
There may be occasional discomforts called cleansing reactions, which are signs that your body is releasing toxins.* If the body is ready, some may even experience a deep cleansing reaction. This can happen during the cleanse, but more likely will occur sometime later when you have built up your strength. All these experiences are the body's wisdom at work focusing on the areas that need to reach optimal health. Any discomforts of cleansing are only temporary, and always lead to more energy, vitality, and renewed health.*
What a superficial cleansing reaction is
Whenever the body releases toxins or balances the unwanted guests population faster than it can eliminate them, and/or the liver is functioning weakly, you may experience some discomfort until you regain your balance. This usually lasts anywhere from an hour to one or two days. The common signs that signal a superficial cleansing reaction might be any of the following: headache, itching, rashes, aching muscles and/or joints, fever, sweating, body odor, bad breath, mouth sores, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sleeplessness, tiredness or exhaustion. Don't worry. The superficial cleansing reaction usually passes quickly and does not harm your body. It is only a sign that soon you will be feeling better than ever.*
What a deep cleansing reaction is
A deep cleansing reaction is more than just a superficial cleansing reaction. Most all of us have absorbed toxins from our polluted environments, but not all of us have suffered with trauma or health problems.
A superficial cleansing reaction shows itself in generalized body signs while releasing toxins. A deep cleansing reaction shows itself in the reappearance of old signs associated within specific areas that have undergone injury or health problems. You may also experience the superficial cleansing reaction signs while undergoing this work.
The body's wisdom is such that as you clean out and regain energy, the body directs that energy to heal these old injuries or health problems. The body only does this when it knows it can handle it. Once again, the signs may be mild to severe, but only as much as your body can sustain at that time. It can last for a few hours, to a few days, and more rarely, for a few weeks.
The deep cleansing reaction mimics the signs of your particular past experiences, but in a much-shortened version. It is always preceded the day before by feeling "on top of the world" rather than by feeling "out of sorts". The deep cleansing reaction passes quickly. You will come out of the deep cleansing reaction feeling better than ever, having successfully rejuvenated the weakened areas of your body.*
How to handle headaches, physical discomforts, pain, or emotional swings while doing the Colon Cleansing Kit™
At anytime and as often as necessary, you may take an enema, colema, or colonic. Prepare a tea or plain boiled water for your enema or colema liquid. Use Peppermint tea if you feel congested, depressed, or backed up. Use Chamomile tea if you feel over excited, over emotional, or overly nervous. Boil a quart of water. Pour over eight tea bags of your choice. Let steep for twenty minutes. Remove tea bags. Be sure the tea or boiled water is cooled to body temperature before using. You may add more pure cold water if needed. Now add your liquid tea or water to an enema bag or colema bucket.*
Why you may feel bloated after drinking Toxin Absorber™
The Toxin Absorber™ is a bulk fiber formula that draws liquids and toxins to itself. You have seen how it begins to swell up after mixing with juice in your Shaker Jar. It continues this expansion in your stomach and intestines, drawing up toxins to itself. This produces a "full" sensation after drinking it.*
Because we have added a large, therapeutic dose of Ginger root† or Peppermint leaf† to the formula, this feeling dissipates quickly. Most do not experience any discomfort at all. You will find that the Ginger or Peppermint also greatly enhances the flavor of the drink, making it pleasant to taste and swallow.*
What you can do if you get really bloated/constipated doing the Colon Cleansing Kit™
Some people experience quite a bit of bloating and/or constipation for the first couple of days of the cleanse, especially until they move out some of the stuff that wants to come out. This is normal. However, to keep from getting uncomfortable while this is happening, it is very important to keep your bowels moving.
There are three ways to deal with bloat and/or constipation. Drinking enough water is of prime importance. Be sure you are drinking at least 6–8 glasses of pure water every day besides the water you drink when taking Toxin Absorber™. Taking your Digestive Stimulator™ capsules throughout the day instead of once in the evening, assures no slowing down of your daily bowel movements (see "What you can do if that doesn't work" on the Bowels/Constipation page for more detailed information). Enemas or colemas are the fastest way to relieve the discomfort. All three of these actions taken together is the very best way to deal with bloat and constipation while doing liquids–only fasting.
Should you need an enema you may choose from one of three types of liquid: water (distilled, filtered or purified), brewed coffee or peppermint tea made with distilled, filtered or purified water. Choose only from these liquids and make no substitutions. When you add your liquid to the enema bag, it should be body temperature; not cooler or hotter. Check the temperature by placing some on the inside surface of your wrist, if you feel a comfortable warmth then it is the right temperature.
Filtered, purified or distilled water: you may choose one of these three kinds of water depending on what is available to you. Heat one quart and then let cool to body temperature before pouring into the enema bag.
OR Fresh brewed coffee: use three tablespoons of ground, organically grown, coffee beans for every one quart of purified water (an enema bag usually holds one quart). Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, then strain and cool to body temperature and pour into your enema bag. You may add more purified water to your enema bag to bring it up to full.
OR Peppermint tea: use 8 teabags of organically grown peppermint leaves for every one quart of purified water (an enema bag usually holds one quart). Place the teabags in a pot (that holds slightly more than one quart) and pour boiling water over them, cover the pot and let steep for 15 minutes, then strain and cool to body temperature and pour into your enema bag. You may add more purified water to your enema bag to bring it up to full.
Take as many enemas in a row that you need to completely empty your bowel or until the discomfort is released. If you are familiar with using a colema board and its accompanying five gallon container, this is an even more successful way to go. There is no need to suffer with bloat and/or constipation. If that happens, it is completely correctable using enemas, colemas, or colonics. You will have relief within 20–30 minutes. Please do not suffer with this when you can take an enema and feel good again. It is that simple.*

The Philippi Public Library will celebrate Teen Read Week 2012 with special activities aimed at encouraging area teens to read for the fun of it. Teen Read Week is the national adolescent literacy initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association, the fastest-growing division of the American Library Association.
"Teens have more activities to fill their free time than ever - web videos, social networking sites, video games, after-school activities, athletics and increasingly high expectations in the classroom," said Judy Buckner Larry, library director. "It is important that we show them that reading is something that is fun and relaxing that they can do for free. Also, reading for fun can translate into better performance at school."
Teens are invited to the library from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Oct. 15-17 for "Teen Read Week 2012 - Feel the Hunger!"
All registered attendees will receive a copy of book "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, participate in reading the book, create fun Halloween activities, help in a canned food drive, and have a chance to win prizes.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 15, the Philippi Public Library and Philippi Main Street will sponsor a showing of the movie "The Hunger Games" (PG 13 only and weather permitting) on the courthouse lawn. On Oct. 19, the library will sponsor a pizza party for registered attendees, and participants will talk about the book and movie.
In conjunction with the theme of the library's "Teen Read Week 2012 - Feel the Hunger," the library is also conducting a Food for Fines Week and canned food drive from Oct. 15-20. Patrons may clear their records of fines with non-perishable food items that will be donated to the Heart and Hand Food Pantry. The library will also collect non-perishable food or monetary donations to Heart and Hand from anyone who wishes to donate.
For additional information about any library programs and for registration for "Teen Read Week 2012 - Feel the Hunger," call the library at 304-457-3495 or visit the library.


text: Holly Spangler Illinois Native Takes White House Ag Spot My Generation If he's as mindful of production ag now as he was with Prairie Farmer's story on the campaign trail, Lazarus will do well in his new gig. Published on: July 14, 2010 After 18 months of non-action, President Obama has filled the legally-mandated ag and food adviser spot on his policy staff. His choice – Illinois native David Lazarus – has been applauded by the Washington ag press, and appears to be a sound pick who may actually understand the agriculture that exists beyond local, small and organic. Interestingly, I got to know Lazarus during the presidential campaign when he became the key force in Obama's camp for getting a slate of questions answered for a Prairie Farmer story. After a group of my colleagues and I brainstormed questions, we presented them to both the Obama and McCain campaigns to answer, with the caveat that they story would run in all of our 18 Farm Progress publications, nationwide. Being the editor from Illinois, I was assigned the Obama half of the story, and Lazarus wound up being my contact. At the time, he'd been plucked from work as Dick Durbin's ag legislative assistant (or Ag LA, in D.C. speak), to serve as second in command on Obama's rural outreach team. Of the handful of folks I actually got to speak with in the campaign, Lazarus was the only one who A) actually knew what Prairie Farmer was, and B) cared. And he made sure our questions got answered. After election, Lazarus was appointed to the transition team and then became a staffer for Vilsack at USDA. He moved into his new White House office this week. Here's hoping he remains as pragmatic and mindful of production agriculture in the big house as he was on the campaign trail.

Bretha Lanette Redwine, 43, of Anniston, was charged with aggravated stalking, a felony, according to a police report.
Anniston Sgt. Chris Sparks said Redwine was stalking and making threats toward a 54-year-old Anniston man. The victim told police the threats have been an ongoing problem since 2009, Sparks said.
The latest incident occurred between April 5 and April 8 on the first block of South Wilmer Avenue, the police report stated.
Online court records show Redwine was also charged with first-degree stalking in September 2009. Those charges were not prosecuted, according to the records.
Redwine was in Calhoun County Jail Thursday afternoon, a jail employee said.
Bond is set at $150,000. A court appearance for Redwine is scheduled for May 6.

For the road warrior who makes the five or six hour flight between the east and west coasts of the United States, there is an important change coming. Airlines are converting some of their planes on some of those routes to have lie-flat seats in business class.
That's right, instead of making that dreaded red-eye flight between Los Angeles and New York in a traditional seat where getting some sleep at a slight decline is difficult, imagine catching a few hours of sleep in a lie-flat seat?
This week United Airlines launched it "p.s." service on flights between Los Angeles and New York's JFK as well as between San Francisco and JFK. The p.s. stands for "Premium Service" and is the beginning of United trying to stand out with corporate and high-end customers who fly across the country. "The premium business traveler and premium leisure traveler wants to be comfortable and comfort is a lay flat seat on 5 to 6 hour flights like the coast to coast flights," said Henry Harteveldt, an airline analyst with Hudson Crossing.
(Read More: Joining Other Carriers, United Upgrades Premium Service JFK Flights)
Fewer Seats, Better Revenue Yield
Once United converts the Boeing 757-200s to include lie-flat seats, the airline will actually be reducing the number of premium seats available on certain cross country flights. The airline is going from offering 38 total seats (12 first class, 26 business class) to a new configuration that will feature 28 lie-flat business seats.
Why would United make that change? It's all about selling a higher percentage of the higher fare premium seats on a plane and having fewer unsold seats that are then filled with frequent fliers upgrading to business class.
"The nature of the airline business shouldn't be about giving away the product," noted Harteveldt. "The nature of the business needs to be about selling the product to as many people who will pay for it. That is a tough challenge but one I think the airlines are trying to respond to by right-sizing the size of the premium cabin."

Business class fares vary depending on the route, time of day and demand in a particular market. Still, most industry analysts estimate business class fares on transcontinental flights are approximately 50 percent higher than coach fares on the same route. According to masFlight, and aviation consulting firm, roughly 11 percent of the seats on transcontinental flights are business class. That percentage has held steady in recent years, though it could be increasing as more airlines upgrade their service between the coasts. JetBlue is the latest to say it will offer premium service on its transcontinental flights, starting next year.
Targeting Corporate Customers
While United is the first airline to turn to lie-flat business class seats, its two primary competitors are not far behind. At the end of March Delta will start flying planes with lie-flat seats and American will do the same later this year. The carriers are upgrading their transcontinental flights because that's where they are in a heated battle for corporate customers.
(Read More: (Website Rates the Best US Airports for Dating)
"There are a couple of groups that represent a disproportionately large number of premium business travelers. Financial services, consultants, independent business executives and a few other industries like entertainment," explained Harteveldt. "Those industries pay for premium cabin seats. That is the battle.
That is where the profit is and that is who the big 3 airlines, United, Delta and American, are battling it out to win."

Onion Pattern
Onion pattern, originally named bulb pattern, is a white ware decorated with cobalt blue or pink. Although it is commonly associated with Meissen, other companies made the pattern in the late nineteenth and the twentieth centuries. A rare type is called red bud because there are added red accents on the blue-and-white dishes. The bulbs on the onion pattern were actually peaches or pomegranates copied from the original Chinese model, but the collectors called them onions.

Works Well!
By Tesio
from Las Vegas
I use these twice a week and see the results immediately.
Belittle Those Lines!
By Pwershper
from Swedesboro, NJ
I really like this product. Usually use it at lest once a week. Immediate results after use. Only little gripe is sometimes the strips "slide" off or move around. Otherwise, it's a wonderful product.

I love this product
By Smith
from Pennsauken, NJ
I'm 52 years old and wish I could get a face lift. I have used these strips before and decided to use them again, and I think they help diminish the need for surgery. I use the eye strips and the mouth strips and even put the strips on my neck. I put them on right after cleansing and toning and sleep with them. For the neck and between my eyes (I have wrinkles there too) I use big bandaids to hold them on overnight, otherwise they would peel off. The strips stay on the eyes and around the mouth with no extra help needed. Because these work so well, making lines much less visible after just two overnight uses, I'm going to invest in additional DHC products to give them a try too.
Maybe yes, maybe no.
By granny
from Bella Vista Arkansas
At times I feel this product does help with the moisture absorbtion and the next time I don't see much change. It is up in the air as to my continued use. I am giving it a good try.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Don't knock it until you try it!
By Loulou
from New Haven, Ct
Try to sleep with it on. It works wonders!
Intensive moisture where its needed!
I can't say enough about these. Being over 50, the "laugh" lines can be pretty evident..This really minimizes them and after wearing them overnight, they are practically gone in the morning!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!
By rm
from new york
this product did nothing.
expected more....
By JigglyOne
from Winnsboro, SC
used these every other day and while they left my upper lip and chin soft, there was no visible change in the fine lines around my mouth. The reason I purchased this item was specifically to reduce these fine lines. Always have botox and will save up for that because it works.

Good Therapy
By Glen
from Mammoth Spring AR
I plan to use these strips according to instruction, which means I have used them about three times but about 45 minutes each time. The change wasn't instant, but I am seeing a difference around my mouth. Pores are smaller, creases diminishing a bit, and skin is plumping a bit. Along with using Pore Milk it is evident there will be improvement in that skin around my mouth, which gets a fair amount of abuse over the years, along with normal aging. I gave it only a 4 star due to using it for a short time.
