5KTape Review
How are you? So kind of you to drop by!
Things have settled down a bit in my world. My granddaughter's MRI came back normal (big YEAH!) and my Mom is improving daily! What a blessing!
Having a critically ill family member can be VERY stressful, as I am sure many of you can attest too.
My sister, Kim, was experiencing a lot of stress related pain in her neck and shoulders. Ahha! the perfect guinea pig ..err.. test subject. I would never use my sister for a guinea least not for anything harmful! Blahaha!!! I love you Kim!!!!!!
Now, what is 5K tape; it is a premium kinesiology tape. There are many You Tube videos showing how one uses kineiology tape for different parts of the body.
Kim, had been experiencing pain for 2 days with it getting worse every day. I placed 2 strips of tape across Kim's shoulders. One vertical, one horizontal. She felt the tape did help ease the pain, and stated, "the pain had not continued to worsen". The tape remained in place even after two showers. Now, that's some sticky tape right there!
There are mixed reviews as to whether or not kinesiology tape really works. Kim felt it did help her pain. Athletes use it to stabilize muscles and promote circulation. You may have seen brightly colored tape on some athletes, chances are good that it is kinesiology tape.
One may order 5K Tape on Amazon.
As of right now, they are offering two rolls for the price of one!

UN warns of violent upheaval in Haiti
Dean Alexander in Port-au-Prince
THE UN warned last night that Haiti was sinking into potentially violent chaos as people grow frustrated at the slow pace of aid getting through.
Most victims are still living outside in squalid tents of sheets and sticks and aid officials acknowledge they have not yet got food to most of those in need.
Mobs have stolen food and looted goods from their neighbours in the camps, prompting many to band together or stay awake at night to prevent raids.
About 20 armed men blockaded a street and attacked a convoy carrying food from the airport in Jeremie. UN and Haitian officers fired warning gunshots and the men fled.
In Jacmel, also a southern city, 33 prisoners on the run were caught , the UN said after mass escapes when prisons collapsed.
Hundreds gathered yesterday at a gravel pit in Titanyen where countless earthquake victims had been dumped, turning a remembrance ceremony for the dead into one of the first organised political rallies since the disaster.
Many denounced President Rene Preval and called for the return of ousted president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Critics were already blaming Mr Preval for rising unemployment, corruption and greed before the earthquake struck.
He has rarely been seen in public since, leaving his ministers to defend his performance and discontent with him appears to be growing, three weeks after the disaster.
Mr Aristide also faced criticism during his presidency. The former slum priest had a huge grassroots following among Haiti's poor but was overthrown in 2004 as corruption and drug trafficking grew rampant.
Haiti's government also has had to deal with the 10 Americans who tried to take a busload of undocumented Haitian children out of the country. The Idaho-based church group was being held without charges at a police station yesterday. US embassy officials would not say if a US court process was possible.
Meanwhile Spain announced yesterday that it would perform DNA tests on children in Haiti to try to reunite them with their parents and protect them from traffickers.
Secretary of State for International Co-operation Soraya Rodriguez said Spain would send genetic testing kits and technicians to the quake-ravaged nation in the coming days.
The initial goal of the programme is to take saliva or blood samples from up to 6,000 Haitian children and adults and create a DNA database for Haitian authorities to use in reuniting families.
The genetic identification programme was developed by the University of Granada in southern Spain.
There are now an estimated 400,000 unaccompanied children in Haiti.

Proof You Have Absolutely No Concept of Time [Science]
Source: YouTube
When it comes to long stretches of time, humans have a hard time visualizing it. A thousand years, a million years, it's all just numbers. Fortunately, Buzzfeed put together this little video to show exactly how wrong you are. How long ago was Cleopatra born? How long have humans been around relative to the universe? The answers may surprise you.

2. I try explaining this concept to my students all the time. More often than not, it doesn't really sink in. I think I may be borrowing this video :)

Struck me as funny
One in four Americans is affected by mental health issues each year. Become a mental health counselor and start making a difference.
I saw this on a website for a counseling program today and it really cracked me up. Is the presumption that one of those three mentally healthy people withOUT mental health issues should and will become a counselor? Oh, my gut hurts from laughin'. Now, is that likely? Wouldn't they be more likely to become a doctor, lawyer, or a judge? Or, is it an invitation for that one with mental health issues to turn that mental issue into something more profitable and engaging? Figure themselves out AND make a livin' at the same time. Recreating their dysfunctional relationships over and over when they don't figure it out? Cool.
I have a Master's in Counseling and I think that entitles me to make fun. I admit I was online looking for an online program to pick up some classes for licensure.
Ever think about what leads people to their life's work? Even psychologists know that people trying to figure themselves and their own lives out go into psychology (my undergrad degree is in psych!) One of my professors, a clinical psychologist, said she got her BS in Psychology. BS stood for Bull Shit. Then she got her MS -- More Shit, and finally she earned her PhD -- Piled Higher and Deeper. Pretty funny, eh?
Why do you do what you do? Do you think it has to do with your earliest prenatal experiences and how you were born? Or did you just start to experience the world, learn, and "remember" when you were three? Does it have to do with your innate talents? Pre-conception plans? Early childhood? Or, was it by chance? Did you choose it? Why does a person decide to become a caseworker in the state system? Is there a reason they want to "save all the abused children" but yet end up harming so many families? What about police? Pharmacists? Chefs? Midwives? Nurses? I heard in Counseling that nurses make good Co-dependents (high number married to addicts). Have you ever wondered if someone who is rabidly against abortion just might be someone who survived an abortion attempt? Or, if someone who was abused, neglected, and abandoned s/he might become a state case worker?
And, why do you suppose a person spends four years in college, four more in medical school, and then four more in obstetric residency (aka as Hell) only to be tired, in debt, and disillusioned? Do they do it all because they love women and babies? And, "they love women" can be interpreted several ways, now can't it? Do they just want the best for women and babies, for them to never have pain, and for them to be safe and have a sacred experience? Some believe obstetricians are misogynistic. Some believe they are control freaks. It is part of the training. Some believe they are more interested in power and money than a baby and woman's body, mind, and soul.
So, I was just wondering ... it's that psych and counseling training, darn it; if a woman and a man go to the hospital for the birth of their baby and there is a nurse and a doctor ... which one is the ONE OUT OF FOUR WITH mental health issues?
If a woman goes to court regarding her child and she has a lawyer, there is a caseworker, another lawyer, and a judge, which one is ONE with mental health issues?
Is it a coincidence that it always happens to be the disempowered woman with the baby/child?
Is mental health like pregnancy and potty training? A caseworker told my friend that it was impossible that her handicapped grandson was partially potty trained before the state took him. The older gent said there is no such thing as "partially potty trained." She told me that he said, "It's like being pregnant. Either you are pregnant or you aren't pregnant. Either he is potty trained or he isn't." Obviously, he's never done either - pregnancy or potty training a child. One out of four, eh?

Cebrus Starn strolled down the road with a small pack strapped to his back, a stick of wood in one hand, and a knife in the other. He whittled as he walked, flicking bits of wood behind him like a trail of breadcrumbs. The soft wood began to take shape beneath his nimble fingers as he continued to chip away at the outer bark to reveal the brighter wood hidden beneath. Several minutes later, he stopped by the side of the road to examine his work.
The rough column now fit the needed size and shape for a good-sized wand. He slipped his bag off his shoulders and set it on the ground. Crouching down, he opened his pack, pulled out a leather sheath, and slid his knife inside. He’d been taught young the value of keeping tools in their proper place and the harsh penalty for losing one. Small scars decorated his fingers, tiny reminders of his painful learning curve.
Clutching the stick in one hand, he used the other to search the bag’s inner pockets. After a few minutes of feeling through the contents, he wrapped his fingers around a shaping stone. A fond smile curled his lips as he pulled it out. One of a set of three given to him by his father, each piece helped smooth and conform the wood to create a plain, blank wand ready to be bonded to its new owner. It always served him well to have a good variety of wands prepared when he entered a new town.
Pleased he had found the right stone on his first try, Cebrus straightened, refastened his pack, then returned it to his shoulders, the soft sound of wood clattering together followed his movements.
As a wandmaker, Cebrus traveled from town to town trading his skills for food and shelter. Most wandmakers stayed in one place, plying their trade to the locals and merchants who traveled into town for their services. Cebrus’s itchy feet didn’t allow him to settle down in one location, despite his family’s disapproval of his nomadic ways. He tried to make sure he visited them once a year during festival season to help out with the influx of additional customers, but this year he’d miss it. His quest didn’t allow for backtracking or returning home halfway through his travels. If he’d even gone halfway.
He’d never met another traveling wandmaker. A shame since their specialized abilities were needed in every town and there were too few wandmakers to serve everyone. Most places had to use standard wands mass-produced by apprentice wizards and not properly matched with their new owners. Shabby bits of wood that most people didn’t realize were a step below their potential. Only high-level wizards bothered to have their wands correctly bonded because of the time and expense involved in traveling to a wandmaker.
Cebrus had no idea how close the next town might be, but the beautiful weather didn’t prod him to be too concerned about distance. There was no need to hurry, and he enjoyed the journey as much as his possible destination.
The sound of hooves had him looking up from his task to discover a team of five soldiers in full uniform riding toward him. Their large, powerful horses stirred up dust and thundered like an oncoming storm against the dry ground. He didn’t bother to hide his surprise when the men pulled to a stop before him. What could they possibly want? He didn’t have the wealthy appearance of a successful merchant or any discernible luxury about him. Stories of soldiers preying on unwary travelers drifted through Cebrus’s mind. He braced himself for possible confrontation.
“Halt, stranger.” The leader of the group blocked Cebrus’s path with his horse, his face stern and commanding.
“Is there a problem?” Cebrus examined the soldier with great interest. He’d never been stopped before. In general, people left wandmakers alone. Their special jurisdiction allowed them to travel wherever they chose.
“We’ve heard rumors a wandmaker is traveling this road. Are you that man?”
Cebrus looked at the wand in his hand, then back at the soldier and raised an eyebrow.
The soldier blushed, but quickly rallied. “Under the command of the king, I order you to accompany us to the royal palace.”
