I will attempt to give this story as well as I can from stories I heard my parents tell, and from my Uncle George, my father's twin brother.
My father and his twin brother George were born in St. George, Utah on January 16, 1876 to Joseph and Mary Leicht Oxborrow.
This family was one of 300 families called by Brigham Young to settle the Dixie Mission. Joseph Oxborrow was called there as a baker, during the time the tabernacle and St. George Temple were being built.
My father was baptized in the St. George Temple at the age of eight. His parents were very strict about his attending church, which he did until he was old enough to decide for himself.
His schooling was very limited because he and his twin had to take turns going to school and working in order to help their father support their large family of 11 children. They took turn severy other week.
He went to a school called the Central School, which was held in the court house.
As a young man he was very active in all the social affairs they had for young folks, music being his love. He loved to dance and sing. He was a member of Thompson's Brass Band where he played the alto horn. He also played the violin, guitar, harmonica and chorded on the piano. He had a natural talent for music but couldn't read a note of music.
Dad and Uncle George were identical twins. 1 have heard them tell of many hilarious timesthey had fooling people. One would take a girl to the dance and his twin would take her home and she wouldn't know the difference.
Ashby Snow, the man Dad worked for, told him to come to the house and pick up sometickets for the theater for him and his girl friend. Uncle George overheard the conversation so beat him to it. They were always playing such pranks on each other and their girl friends.
Dad was just nineteen years of age when Grandpa Oxborrow passed away in 1895 then Dad was obliged to help support the family.
In 1898, he and Jess Bleak went to work on a ranch in White River, Nevada. This ranch was later bought by the Mormon Church and colonized as the towns of Preston and Lund. His mother, Grandma Oxborrow, was set apart to go to Lund as a midwife, and to assist in the care of the sick. She moved her family and made a home there.
The Hendrix family moved to Lund to help with the building of the town. They had a beautiful young daughter, Lucy Loanna. She was born in St. George, Utah, March 14, 1881. She and Dad fell in love and were married February 21, 1901. They were married by the new Justice of the Peace, M. W. Harrison, and his wife Louisa made my mother's wedding dress. This I mention as they turned out to be my mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Their first child, a girl, Hilda (myself), was born December 21, 1901 in Lund, and delivered by my grandmother. When they had been married a little over two years, they traveled by team and wagon with their first child to be married in the St. George Temple for time and eternity, and have their child sealed to them.
Eight children came to them after they were sealed in the Temple, namely: Lester, born August 27, 1903; George Gordon, November 22, 1906; Edmund Grant, November 10, 1907; Chester H., December 28, 1910; Nathaniel, June 14, 1913; Daniel Ralph, August 25, 1915; Fred, August 20, 1917; Mary Evelyn, March 3, 1921. Two of these children have passed away, these being Lester and George Gordon. Seven of the family still survive.
My father volunteered for the Spanish American War, but it was over before he had a chance to be called.
He and Uncle George contracted most of the threshing jobs in the area, and at threshing time of the year, they were kept real busy. They traveled to do the threshing in all the outlying districts. When they would return from these trips, it was not unusual for their wives to get them mixed up and greet the wrong one with a kiss. This was amusement for the twins.
Our family was much like a gypsy family, as we lived in so many places. I can remember when Lester and I were the only children in the family, we moved to the Knob, which is presently the town of Kimberly. There he worked in the mine. After we left the Knob, we moved to Ely,where my father drove the Beer Wagon and delivered beer to the markets. We lived in a tent on the meadow across from the old Ice Plant, later moving into a little house on High Street.
My dad and two of his brothers, Uncle George and Uncle Ted, and their brother-in-law, Uncle Earl Ashworth, took a lease on a ranch from the Horton family, which is now called the Calloway Ranch. This was in 1909, and they lived there for three years, eeking out a mere existence. 'Twas here he acquired his first car, in partnership. It was a red Thomas. They traded two teams of horses for this car. Later Uncle Ted wrecked it between Tonopah and the ranch,and the only thing they salvaged was the tires. So, for four nice horses, this was all they had toshow.
They moved back to Lund and decided to buy a farm, as the Burgess family was leaving Lund, and Dad purchased their farm. This was a real challenge, and turned out to be a real struggle to pay for it. He had to move back to Kimberly and work as a carpenter to get the cash to make his payments. Later he worked on road gangs, and was one of the workers 'vho put the first phone line into Lund. Part of his work was payed for in telephone stock, of which he got nothing.
When the first world war came along, he moved the family to the ranch at Sunnyside, as it belonged to the Hendrix brothers, who were his in-laws. Two of the Hendrix boys had been called to war. This necessitated help for the ranch, so Dad and his boys helped to keep the ranch going. He worked for the family's board, the only cash he received was from a mail route he tookbetween Sunnyside and Sharp, Nevada. This was a very hard life for Mother and the children, as there was no school, and they had to commute. When the war ended, he moved back to Lund, where he took some freighting jobs. He loved nice horses, and always had a good team to haul with. He hauled hay, grain and other produce for the farmers in the area, as well as run his own farm. At one time while he was farming, I remember he was elected as president of the potato association, which consisted of a group of farmers.
While we were growing up we always looked forward to Dad coming home from his hauling,so he could play the piano for us in the evenings, and sing some of our favorite songs. Chester and I have been together so much trying to get our memories to work on the words of the song she sang. When we were children I can remember our parents always accompanied us to Sacrament Meeting, and we went as a happy family. He was always there to make his tithing settlement, when we were young. As the family grew larger, he had a hard time to meet these obligations, as he had to be away from home so much on different jobs.
He was always willing to help anyone at any time he could, and was a friend to all. He always took time to play with the children, and they loved him very much. I often think of how much he would have enjoyed his grandchildren, of which he only had four when he passed away.
In 1931 or 1932, his team ran away with him and pinned him between the wagon tongue and a tree. From that day on he began to show that his health was failing. He finally became so ill that he had to go to the doctor in Salt Lake City, Utah. He had to have surgery for cancer. They removed nine inches of the colon, from which he recovered for a short time, but had second surgery from which they could not help him. He passed away in my home in McGill, Nevada on July 27, 1934.
He was a very wonderful father and we loved him very much. I'm sure all of us are looking forward to the day when we will be with him and hear him sing our old favorite song he used tosing to us, "Down in Pennsyltucky".
After father passed away, Mother remained in Lund where she had the younger children still at home. At the time she decided to move to Ely where her older children lived, she was in the Relief Society
Presidency. She was a wonderful mother, and we were glad to have her closer to us. Her health failed and she passed away in my home in McGill, Nevada on her birthday, March 14,1938.
The seven children still surviving are all well and happy. Hilda, married to Fred Harrison, has one daughter, Donna Mae Birmingham, and two grandchildren. Grant, married to Edna Nicholas, has one son, Larry, and four grandchildren. Chester, married to Jo Fogliani, has two children, Anthony and Kathy, and seven grandchildren. Nathaniel, married to June Baker, has three children: Ronald, Richard, and Thomas, and seven grandchildren. Daniel Ralph, married to Glenna Dee, has two children: Byron and Danny, and three grandchildren. Fred, married toVilate Anderson, has three children: Bonnie, Douglas, and Deanna, and seven grandchildren. Mary Evelyn, married to (divorced) Ted Fransen, has three children: Terri, Debbie, and Michelle.
Four of the children of the Eph Oxborrow family have been married in the Temple for time and eternity.
Five boys, Grant, Chester, Nat, Dan and Fred have purchased lots in Bullhead, Arizona and move there to spend the winters. Hilda lives in Las Vegas, Grant's home is in Ely, Chester in Pioche, Nat in McGill, Dan in Reno, Fred in Salt Lake, and Mary Evelyn in Ely.
We are very proud of the love we have for one another.

What am I working on?
I have just had a whole pile of custom orders roll in – it's wedding and graduation season! – so I am up to my ears in quilts. And, um, loving it! I made of list of 8 quilts I want to finish/start this month. Ha ha. That won't happen. BUT, I am going to be more or less a full time quilter in February, so expect lots of boring posts about my deep thoughts on quilting.
For example, I have recently become really into pressing (ironing) the backs of my quilts and the effect that has on the neatness of the front. I'm certain that 80% of the universe could not see the difference but I keep glancing over at my impeccably pressed quilt tops and getting a little surge of joy. Thrilling right!?! Hold onto your hats.
Today I am linking this post up to three blog-world projects – one on Stash-busting and one on tracking your Works in Progress. If you press on them there fancy blog buttons, you can see what other quilters are up to.
I am hoping to finish this quilt soon, which I don't know how to name – any thoughts? I semi-borrowed the design from a tutorial which I can no longer find. If you can ID it, please let me know! UPDATE: Thanks to Kati for recognizing it- now you can make your own! It's made using some organic fabrics and vintage – so pretty eco-friendly. I need to make the back and quilt it.
There is also a challenge to make quilts from all fabrics you already own – and I have made two of those so far in January – the one above, and the one below. Yay! I am almost out of my bolt of Kona PFD White – which I use both for dyeing fabric and for my basic white.

Hmm — maybe it's just the name of your blog, but that quilt really makes me think of the shore. Something like "Tidewater" maybe? I used to live in Tidewater, Virginia (Hampton Roads). Looking forward to the pattern!
Beautiful quilts and yay for using fabric you already have! I love the green, black and white combo especially. 🙂
Wow two great quilts!! Love the green from the 2nd one and the wonderful block design in the first!
You know, I hadn't even made the connection that it looked like water and a beach – thanks for that!
Yeah for using stash fabrics! Is that first quilt from the tutorial over at Shiner's View:
Thanks for linking up to Slash the Stash!
Love the fabrics in the pinweel quilt
Claire Jain
Ooooh, I do like that blue and white quilt. I sure don't recognize the pattern, but it's really neat. Thanks for sharing your WIPs!
January Turner
I'm stopping by form the small blog meet and I love your pinwheel quilt!! The colors are fantastic!! Looking forward to following you and when you get a chance would love for you to stop by mine and have a look around. Hope your day is going great!
LOVE your version of my Geometric quilt !!! Glad Kati was able to link the two together. And it REALLY does look 'be achy'!
Lucy Wilson
oooh I love the contrast of the black and green, very pretty xxx
Richard Healey
I love that last quilt you showed love the contrast of the colors.

Apparently J.B. Van Hollen is too busy for real AG work, because he's declined to investigate potential election fraud in Waukesha County and former Walker aides who may have violated law. Van Hollen declined to help the FBI with their secret Walker investigation after they requested his assistance. The FBI doesn't waste time, there's definitely a fishy smell emanating from the Walker camp. Yet, Van Hollen spent years investigating voter fraud when no rational mind suspects an issue of any real significance, and the results were what we expected, no significant voter fraud.
Tens of thousands of Wisconsinites and several high-profile people asked Van Hollen to investigate the glaring election issues in Waukesha County after the Supreme Court election in which David Prosser won by a very small margin, where significant election fraud may have occurred. However, J.B. Van Hollen declined to make any effort to investigate. Instead, the Government Accountability Board appointed a special investigator, Timothy Verhoff. Verhoff has now completed his investigation, only a few months later. Was the office of J.B. Van Hollen really so busy that they couldn't investigate?
Now, the FBI has asked J.B. Van Hollen to assist in their previously secret investigation of former Walker aides. What could possibly make Van Hollen believe the FBI is wrong in investigating these aides? If the FBI is wrong, shouldn't Van Hollen assist the FBI in coming to that conclusion?
Putting this all together what picture do we paint? Van Hollen has a very selective bias when it comes to what he chooses to investigate, but a very simple threshold. Will the investigation help Republicans? Yes, then investigate. No, then keep as quiet as possible. The investigations into voter fraud created a buzz around the words "voter fraud," most likely enabling the passage of the Voter Suppression Bill, which helps Republicans win more elections by suppressing votes for Democrats. Investigating election fraud in Waukesha County during the Supreme Court election could have resulted in a win for Kloppenburg, hurting Republicans, but keeping quiet left the status quo. Assisting the investigation of former Walker aides could potentially bring light to areas the FBI is dark on, potentially incriminating more aides and Walker himself. That would for sure hurt the Republicans, but keeping quiet can only help.
I'm sorry Mr. Van Hollen, but the people of Wisconsin, your employer, want you to do your job! You don't get a big fat paycheck to investigate only the things you're interested in. J.B. Van Hollen, you are a disgrace to your position and the State of Wisconsin. I think it's time for an investigation of J.B. Van Hollen's office, if there isn't already an ongoing secret FBI investigation. Tell Wisconsin why you won't investigate these very serious allegations when you'll investigate frivolous claims for years.

Online Heath Chat with Steven J. Krause, PhD
January 8, 2010 | Reviewed on January 21, 2014 by Steven J. Krause, PhD
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Millions of people suffer headaches severe enough to seek medical care. Most people start with their primary care physician, and find relief from common prescription pain relievers. When a headache persists despite treatment with medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or prescription pain relievers, it may be time to visit a headache specialist.
According to the National Headache Foundation, over 45 million Americans suffer from chronic, recurring headaches and of these, 28 million suffer from migraines. Headaches are the most common cause of absenteeism from work and school. Migraine sufferers lose more than 157 million work and school days annually because of headache pain.
The Headache and Pain Program, within the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Center for Pain, is dedicated to the diagnosis and management of headache disorders, facial pain syndromes and associated disorders. The Program commonly treats patients with both primary headaches and secondary headaches. The Program sees more than 7,000 headache patients a year in the outpatient clinic and offers a wide variety of medical treatments including a specialized infusion service to provide urgent, outpatient care to patients who would otherwise need to visit an emergency room.
Our speaker today, Steven J. Krause, PhD specializes in pain management; he directs IMATCH (Interdisciplinary Method for the Assessment and Treatment of Chronic Headaches), an outpatient treatment program for the rehabilitation of chronic headache patients.
Dr. Krause has a BS in psychology and mathematics from Loyola University of Chicago and a MS and PhD in clinical psychology from Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri, and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. He was a fellow in clinical psychology at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute at the University of California, San Francisco and a post-doctoral fellow at the University Pain Control Center in the Department of Anesthesia at University of Cincinnati Medical School.
Welcome to our Online Health Chat with Dr. Steven Krause. We are thrilled to have him here today for this chat. Let's begin with the questions.
Understanding Headaches and Migraines
Simi2: What is headache or migraine? What causes it, and how can I treat it?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Headaches are simply the term used to describe significant pain or discomfort in the head and face area. There are many types of headaches, each with its own cause and appropriate treatment. The first step in headache care is to determine if the patient has a "primary" headache, not caused by another illness or injury, versus a "secondary" headache, caused by some other disorder. Migraines are the most common type of primary headache, resulting from a complex process of neurological and vascular activity in the brain. Many different treatments are appropriate for headaches, including medications, injections, physical therapy, psychological counseling, and lifestyle changes, depending on the exact type of headache.
Centeraisle: How do you know if you are having a migraine or some other type of headache? Does it make a difference in treatment if you know?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: There are many other headaches besides migraine. Nearly everybody has had a mild tension-type headache, although migraine is the most common type of severe headache. Different headache types are distinguished from each other on the basis of their characteristic patterns, including factors such as age of first headache, family history, location in the head, headache frequency and severity, associated symptoms, and response to treatment. For example, a female patient who experiences severe headaches around the time of menses but not otherwise, typically on the right or left side of her head but not both, beginning around the age of 13, accompanied by nausea or vomiting, made worse by eating chocolate, resolving with sleep, with a history of similar headaches in her family is probably having a menstrual migraine.
Conversely, a woman with a history of less severe but more frequent headache, centered in the back of her head but spreading to her neck and forehead, with equal pain on both right and left sides, unrelated to menses and diet, without nausea or vomiting, and relieved by a hot shower is probably experiencing a tension-type headache. Other types of headaches have their own characteristic patterns. A skilled headache physician, most often but not always a neurologist, can help you examine the pattern of your own headaches to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
It matters a great deal to know what type of headache you have. Medications that work well for some headache types can be completely ineffective or even harmful in others. Lifestyle changes that reduce one type of headache will have no effect on another. The first step in planning effective treatment is to clearly understand what you're treating, and to choose interventions known to work for that particular problem.
Lisel: What is an aura?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: An aura is a neurological event that sometimes precedes a migraine headache. During an aura, patients describe wavy lines in their vision, numbness, tingling, blind spots and sometimes weakness in particular muscles. These symptoms are temporary, and leave no lasting damage, although they can be frightening or uncomfortable as they are happening. The aura typically ends when the headache begins, but not always. Most migraine patients do not experience auras, but some do.
newboneman: My grandson, Ethan, is 4 years old. He was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and had a shunt placed at the age of 2 months. He has had 6 revisions since, because of suspected shunt malfunctions and exposed tubing, but most of the suspected shunt malfunctions were associated with headaches and vomiting. He's being seen at Children's Hospital in Denver. They've done MRI after MRI and CT scan after CT scan, and see nothing changing. He's seen ophthalmologists, who have said that there is some pressure on the optic nerve. He continues to have chronic headaches, often followed by vomiting, and they are currently trying medicine for what is being called chronic headaches. Have you seen this in hydrocephalus patients and do you have any suggestions? Even with the medicine his symptoms continue. We don't know what to do next to try to solve his problem. Thanks for your help.
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Without evaluating your grandson, I am unable to provide specific recommendations. But, the first consideration is whether or not the shunt is currently functioning properly. If not, it could be contributing to the headaches. If the shunt is working, then we need to consider other possible sources of headache and that would require an evaluation with the pediatric neurologist. It is possible that the headaches are not related to the shunt. The headache also may be a long term consequence of his medication, even if the medication is working in the short term.
CiciBaby: Is it possible for one person to have several types of headaches?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Certainly, and this makes the diagnosis and treatment of the headaches complicated. For example medication overuse headache is very rare in persons who did not first have another form of headache. After all, most people do not use pain medications unless they first had pain!
hessby: Does the character and pattern of migraines remain the same, or do they change over time (in adults) when all other factors (i.e. environmental) remain the same?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: It is unlikely that during their lifespan any adult will have all environmental factors remain the same over time. For example, stress levels, sleep patterns, and diet are variable from one day to the next. For women there are hormonal triggers for migraines, and hormone production varies through a woman's lifetime. The type and degree of hormonal change in life also depends in part on the woman's reproductive history. All these factors can change the character of a person's headaches, so changes over time are quite common.
Gecko: I am having trouble differentiating between a hemiplegics migraine and a TIA.
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Hemiplegic migraine is a rare form of migraine in which the patient has pain accompanied by symptoms that closely resemble a stroke. Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA's) result from constriction of blood vessels within the brain from a cause other than migraine, and also present with stroke-like symptoms. These symptoms generally include visual abnormalities such as dark spots, wavy lines, or tunnel vision, and more rarely can include numbness, tingling, temporary paralysis of a limb, difficulties speaking or facial drooping. There's a great deal of overlap between the symptoms of hemiplegic migraine and TIA's, so it is difficult to differentiate the two illnesses as the attack unfolds. TIA symptoms generally progress rapidly, from no-symptoms to full-symptoms in less than a minute. Hemiplegic migraine symptoms generally take several minutes to fully appear. TIA symptoms are generally more intense. However, there's a good deal of variability around these generalizations, so it can be difficult to judge.
Longer term, hemiplegic migraines generally begin during the teen years, while TIA's are more common in later life. Hemiplegic migraine patients tend to have family members with migraines. Finally, hemiplegic migraines leave no residual damage to the patients, while TIA's can sometimes cause brain damage evident through MRI's and other testing after the attacks. Unfortunately, these factors are clear only in retrospect, so the diagnosis can be tricky.
Tension Headaches
beachbum: What is a tension-type headache? How is it different from a regular headache?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Tension-type headaches were once believed to result from excessive muscle tension in the head and neck, but recent studies have cast doubt on this. Nonetheless, patients typically describe a feeling of "pressure" or "tightness" in the head and facial muscles. Unlike migraines, which are frequently, but not always, limited to one side of the head (left or right), tension-type headaches generally range across the entire forehead, and often into the back of the head and neck.
Jayrome: I get severe pain across the bridge of my nose (feels as though I have been with by a baseball bat). Could that be classified as a tension headache? I do have tension headaches, but also experience this pain sporadically.
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: What you describe would be an unusual presentation for a tension headache. These generally encompass much of the head, often beginning at the back of the skull.
Cluster Headaches
cnbz19: What is a cluster headache? How is it different from a regular headache?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Cluster headaches are a specific type of very severe headaches, most commonly observed in middle-aged men. Patients experience many headaches in a short period (a "cluster"), then often have long periods with no headaches at all.
Treatment for cluster headaches is not as well studied as for migraines, but some migraine medications have been used successfully to treat cluster headaches.
cnbz12: How are cluster headaches treated since they are different from migraine treatments?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Cluster headaches respond to some but not all triptans, and some evidence suggests that injected triptans may be more useful than oral ones. Cluster headaches sometimes respond to oxygen therapy and some patients may be provided with a portable oxygen tank that can be used for when they have an attack.
Consuela: I've spoken to others that have cluster headaches. Heat helps sooth mine while cold helps others. How can these opposites be true?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: There's no evidence that heat or cold will directly change cluster attacks. However, most people tense up when in pain and this tension intensifies their headaches. Heat often helps people relax, and can reduce pain indirectly. Relaxation training will also help. I can't really explain why someone would find cold soothing for a cluster headache (although it often helps migraines), but there's certainly no harm in it.
Hormonal Headaches
jazzgirl: Is there a link between migraine and hormones?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: In females, migraines are more common around menses, as the abrupt drop in estrogen that triggers menses also can trigger migraines.
Migraines are generally worse between puberty and menopause, since these estrogen fluctuations generally do not occur in young girls and post-menopausal women.
There do not appear to be any hormonal triggers for migraines in men, although men's migraines can be triggered by multiple other factors.
fuzzfinder: If you get headaches associated with your menstrual cycle, is there anything you can do to prevent or get rid of them? Or will you have this for the rest of your life?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Menstrual migraines are treatable using the same techniques as other forms of migraine, including medications, stress management, relaxation training, biofeedback, and lifestyle management. Even if the hormonal triggers do not change, other triggers can be addressed. If your headaches are strongly influenced by hormones, it is possible you will experience improvement or resolution of the headaches when reaching menopause.
Causes or Triggers
Lisel: What can trigger a headache?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Triggers vary depending on the type of headache, and can include strong lights, noise, smells, emotional stress, disruptions of sleep, certain foods, and anxiety (including anxiety about getting a headache).
For pre-menopausal women, migraines are frequently triggered by the hormonal variations that accompany menses.
GileanBrd: Does weather affect migraines?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Patients very commonly report that weather influences their headaches, with low barometric pressure and high temperatures reported as triggers. There are few studies on this subject, but research from emergency room settings suggest that severe headaches of several types are more common in high temperatures.
Results are inconsistent regarding the effect of barometric pressure on non-migraine headaches. Surprisingly, recent studies show no effect of barometric pressure on migraine headaches, but there really aren't enough studies to say for certain.
ww321: What triggers migraines in men?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Migraine triggers in men are the same as triggers in women, except for the estrogen fluctuations that occur in women. Migraine triggers for both genders include stress, excessive or insufficient sleep, diet, emotional state and frequency of exercise.
Samantha: Are headaches hereditary?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Migraine headaches are much more common in the relatives of migraine patients than in the relatives of persons without migraines.
The best available evidence suggests that a vulnerability to migraines is inherited, but that the conversion of that vulnerability into actual headache attacks depends on the number and amount of triggers active at any particular moment.
Acute Migraine Treatments
theo: What are acute medications for migraine? What should I take right when I feel I might be getting a migraine?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: The most commonly used medications for acute (during the attack) treatment of migraines are the "triptans," such as sumatriptan, frovatriptan, almotriptan, zolmitriptan, and others. These are frequently effective in ending a migraine after it has begun.
However, patients should be very careful to use these medications as prescribed by their physician. While helpful at the time they are used, with excessive use these medications can cause a long-term pattern of headaches becoming both more frequent and more severe. This is known as "medication overuse headache" or "rebound headache."
theo: Are over-the-counter medications for migraine effective?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: For mild migraines, over-the-counter medications can be helpful, but they are generally not sufficient to treat moderate to severe migraines. The excessive use of over-the-counter pain medications can also cause medication overuse or "rebound" headache, as described above.
CharlesB: A friend suggested assembling a 'migraine kit' so that when I get an attack I have everything that I need in one place. What do you suggest I put in it?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: 1) An appropriately chosen headache rescue medication; 2) Instructions for effective relaxation exercises to be used every day, and more frequently when you have an attack 3) A list of all the frightening thoughts that grab you during the attack (e.g. "This is never going to end.") along with realistic responses to these (e.g. "All my previous attacks eventually ended, so this one will too."), 4) Instructions for stretching exercises that increase flexibility in the head and neck, which counteract the natural tendency to tense up when in pain.
Get #1 from a physician who understands headache and has thoroughly investigated your condition. Get #2 and #3 from a psychologist who understands headaches and how emotions can exacerbate them. Get #4 from a physical therapist. But most of all don't wait until you have an attack to help yourself. Educate yourself and follow through with appropriate lifestyle changes such as stress management, relaxation training, diet changes, good sleep habits, and regular stretching and aerobic exercise. Prevention is much easier than cure, and the best headache is the one you don't get at all.
Ally1: I'm a 39 y.o. female with a chronic sinusitis issue, and for the last year I have hemicrania continua headaches (right sided). I have had recent sinus surgery within last 3 months, but still continue with headache issue. I was on indomethacin 50mg twice daily along with Prilosec 40 mg. Unfortunately, I have experienced GI upset which, I went to see a GI doctor who has scheduled me for an EGD next week. In the mean time I spoke with my Neurologist who recommends I come off the indomethacin, and now I have begun to take Cymbalta® 30mg daily. I am still having break through headaches with facial symptoms, I take Phrenilin® Forte every 6 hours as need for pain. My question is what happens to patients are indomethacin responsive to the headaches and are unable to tolerate the medication? What kind of pharmacology recommendation or are there any other procedures available for these headaches?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Indomethacin does work well for hemicrania continua, but some individuals are unable to tolerate the GI symptoms. Often migraine headaches are misdiagnosed and treated as a sinus issue.
If your stomach will not tolerate Indomethacin and your physician cannot find another equally effective medication, you may find it useful to consider other non-medical approaches such as biofeedback, relaxation training, etc.
Ally1: I would like to know if you have a patient who is indomethacin responsive for hemicrania continua headaches and is unable to take it due to GI upset what other alternatives are there.
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Indomethacin is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that will also produce GI upset. You noted earlier trying Prilosec® to treat the GI upset to no avail. A number of other anti-inflammatory medications have been tested with hemicrania continua patients, but unfortunately none have been demonstrated to be effective.
The understanding of hemicrania continua is still in its infancy and additional investigation is needed.
gecko: What is involved in applying for the Botox® program to treat Migraine Headaches?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Botox® treatment for migraines involves injecting Botox® into one or several locations around the patient's temples. This is frequently, but not always successful in reducing or eliminating headache symptoms. It is generally not considered a first line treatment option because of the expense and because the treatment can produce unwanted effects in other parts of the face..
linda: From what I have read, it seems like fluctuating serotonin levels can play a part in constant headaches. Do you agree with this? If that is the case, do SSRI's work?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Serotonin levels do seem to be related to headaches which is why some antidepressants are effective as headache preventative. SSRI's particularly are less effective than an older group of anti-depressants called tricyclics (TCA's). Tricyclics are not often used as a treatment for depression now that SSRI's arrived, but they are still used at lower doses as headache preventatives.
phoebe34: After 1-1.5 years, my meds are no longer effective and I have to change them. Why is this?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: It depends on the medication that you are using. Many pain medications exhibit a property called tolerance in which the same dose becomes less effective over time OR increasing doses are required to maintain the same effectiveness. You may also be experiencing medication over-use headache, a phenomenon where the medication helps in the short run but over time increases the severity and frequency of the headaches. Most patients respond to this by increasing the dose, but this merely exacerbates the medication overuse headache in the long run.
Alternative Treatments
theo: What alternative therapies are used to treat migraine?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: The most common non-medical treatment for headache is relaxation training. Many studies have demonstrated that relaxation training is equally as effective for treatment of migraine as medications. This training takes more time and effort than using a medication, but once learned it is free, can be used whenever the patient wishes, and has no negative side effects.
Exercise has been shown to reduce headache risk and psychotherapy often helps patients learn to identify and manage headache-triggering emotional stress
arthur: What is biofeedback?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Relaxation training is sometimes accompanied by using electronic equipment to monitor the patient's physiology as they try to relax, and giving them real-time information about their progress as an aid to learning. This training technique is known as "biofeedback."
genevieve: Herbal treatments/ supplements like gingko-biloba, do you think they are helpful? Should supplements be used alone or in concert with more traditional treatment or prophylactic medications?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: There is very little research looking at the value of alternative medications or herbal supplements for headaches. As a result it is impossible for me to recommend herbal supplements with any confidence that they will actually help. That said, some patients have reported that they are helpful. The reality is that it has just not been studied sufficiently to offer guidance to patients.
Genevieve: Please comment on the use of vitamin B12 to reduce the frequency of migraines. If it works, how much do you need to take daily?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: There is no evidence that Vitamin B12 is useful in the prevention or treatment of migraine. However, some European studies have indicated that Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is useful to prevent migraines. Doses of 400 mg per day taken every day for several months were shown to reduce headache frequency by 50% in half the patients who took it.
Kimmie: Can acupuncture treat migraines? How often would it have to be done to keep them away?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Acupuncture has been tried as a treatment for migraine headaches, and some small studies indicate that it reduces pain. However, these same studies indicate that "sham acupuncture", in which a needle is inserted minimally and away from the true acupuncture points, was just as effective. It may be that the effects of acupuncture are simply the result of the relaxation that takes place when a patient believes a treatment is going to help. Unfortunately, there do not appear to be sufficiently large, well designed studies to conclusively answer this question.
Diet and Migraines
KitKat: Would you explain how diet can help control headache frequency? Have you heard of a low tyramine diet for headache?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: There are several chemicals occurring naturally in many people's diets that are known to increase the risk of a migraine headache attack. Tyramine is one of these. It is found in chocolate, yellow cheese, yoghurt, and nuts. Each of these can trigger migraines in vulnerable individuals. Other chemicals that can trigger migraines include sodium nitrate (found in processed meats such as ham, bacon, sausage, and some lunch meats), as well as various sulfites, found to various degrees in alcohol, particularly red wine. Migraines can be triggered by multiple factors besides diet, so eliminating these chemicals will not likely solve the problem altogether, but it may help. There is little evidence that diet matters in non-migraine headache types.
Headaches & Cardiovascular Risk of Stroke
niki32: Is there an increased risk of stroke for migraine sufferers?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Migraine sufferers are slightly more likely to suffer a stroke than are similar individuals without migraine, but their risk of doing so is still quite low. However, this does not necessarily mean that having a migraine increases the risk of stroke during the migraine attack. Stroke risk can be lowered substantially by frequent exercise, proper diet, avoiding smoking, and maintaining normal blood pressure.
Finding a Doctor
betabuddy: What type of doctor should I see to diagnose and treat my headache?
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: If your headaches have just begun, start with your family doctor. If your headaches have already been treated, but still cause you significant problems, referral to a headache specialist, typically but not always a neurologist, would be worthwhile. For the most severe cases, involving headaches at least 15 days per month, and creating substantial disruption in mood and/or ordinary life activities such as work, housework, child rearing, social or recreational activities, the problem may require the involvement of a multidisciplinary team including physicians, psychologists, nurses, and physical therapists.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: I'm sorry to say that our time with headache specialist Dr. Steven Krause is now over. Thank you again Dr. Krause for taking the time to answer our questions about headaches and migraines.
Speaker_-_Dr__Steven_Krause: Thank you so much for having me here today. It was a pleasure!

Stop us if you've heard this one before: long commutes are bad for your health. Some of the strongest recent findings in behavioral science have focused on the perils of a long ride to work. People with a lengthy commute show an increased amount of stress, get worse sleep, and experience decreased social interaction. A commute of 45 minutes carries such a cost to well-being that economists have found you have to earn 20 percent more to make the trip worth it. Length alone isn't the source of the problem: stress rises with a commute's variability, and for transit riders it rises with the unpredictability and overcrowding of a bus or train.
Typically the negative health outcomes of commuting are studied independently. Recently a group of Swedish researchers decided to consider several of them at once. The team analyzed data from roughly 21,000 people in the Swedish province of Scania who worked more than 30 hours a week. (Most people there commute by car, though about a quarter get to work on public transit.) The participants reported their commute mode and one-way length, and answered several questions designed to assess their sleep quality, everyday stress, exhaustion, mental health, and general health.
Their findings, reported earlier this week in the journal BMC Public Health, are fully "in concordance with the findings of previous studies" [PDF]. Broadly speaking, a long commute corresponded with several negative health outcomes. Poor sleep quality, exhaustion, and low general health were linked most strongly with lengthy commutes, though stress was apparent as well. The only negative health connection the researchers failed to confirm was long commutes and low mental health.
Some of the study's more precise results are particularly intriguing. (It's important first to note the researchers divided commute lengths into just three groups: under 30 minutes, 30-60 minutes, over an hour.) For instance, the sleep quality, stress, and general health of transit users worsened as their commute length increased. But, interestingly, those outcomes were worse for drivers in the 30 to 60 minute range than in the hour-plus range. In other words, people who drove more than an hour to work slept better and were healthier, on average, than someone who drove 45 minutes.
At first glance this seems encouraging, but the researchers suggest it is a mirage of their particular population sample. In this part of Sweden most people driving about a half hour to work will be navigating city congestion. But those driving more than an hour are most likely heading to another part of the country along routes the researchers describe as "tranquil countryside driving." Some parts of that commute might even be relaxing. The researchers also raise the possibility of an additional explanation: the so-called "healthy commuter effect," which suggests that only people who are psychologically and physically fit enough to endure an hour-long drive to work actually stick to it over time.
One reason for the linear association among transit riders is most likely that longer transit rides often involve transfers. That not only increases the length of the trip but also its unpredictability (waiting for several different arrivals), its variability (some trips take much longer than others), and its potential for crowding — all factors that have been shown to increase the stress of the commute, as shown above.
But there was one truly hopeful result from the report (the only one noted by the researchers as "interesting"), and it came from workers who commuted less than 30 minutes by transit. If you fell into this group, your odds of having high everyday stress actually went down. Exactly why is anyone's guess — perhaps a quick subway hop is a good way to wind down — but, nevertheless, that's just one more reason mass transit might not be as bad as you think.
According to a new analysis, places away from the coasts in the Sunbelt and West are pulling ahead when it comes to attracting talented workers.
A life-threatening encounter with AI technology convinced me that the needs of people with disabilities need to be engineered into our autonomous future.
People in different regions of the U.S. have measurably different psychological profiles.
From New York City to Santiago, public transit plays an increasingly central role in debates over social equity, inclusion, and who should get the right to ride.
Two new studies have revived the long-running debate over how police respond to white criminal suspects versus African Americans.

Dirty Kitchens
What it's like to eat in the Philippines
As part of my self-taught cooking curriculum, I took a month-long trip to the Philippines with my mother to breathe in my heritage, meet distant relatives for the first time and to examine the food I so vehemently refused to eat as a teenager. The varnish of vacation wore away after two weeks and I caught my relatives going back to their routines of work and school. This was prime time for me to invade their kitchens for the quotidian food they would consume.
Market Day
Each household I visited went to the market once a week.
In Jaro, Ilo-ilo; the farmer's market was on Thursday. Grocery shopping was just as much a social call, too. Since everyone needed groceries, you kept up with gossip, party invites and appearances. Stalls had makeshift sheet coverings tented over their wares.
In metropolitan Manila, my Auntie Minda woke me up at 7am to get to the market. She packed a styrofoam cooler, bleach and hand sanitizer. She also directed me to wear covered shoes because I would regret wearing flip flops. The market area was in a large wall-less warehouse, similar to La Boqueria in Barcelona. Auntie beelined for purveyors that she's been going to for years and only went to one stall to get her rice and vegetables because she had a stake in their land.
Vendors were butchering on site and de-scaling fish on the show floor. Visible tracks of blood patterned the cement floor. And in some stalls, people napped if they ran out of things to sell.
The Space
You walk into a kitchen and you see what you'd expect. Tile or linoleum. A small table with 4 chairs. Coffeemaker, dishes stacked on shelves. Eerily undisturbed. Food mysteriously arrives at the dining room table and the kitchen looks spotless. It's because the food isn't being prepared in that kitchen. Filipino food is prepared in the dirty kitchen outside!
All of the action is in a ventilated annex to the house. The prep, deep frying, dishwashing and yup —even the laundry. Sometimes it doubles as the garage or dad's workshop.
Filipino food stinks. It's pungent, oily, bold, garlicky and especially fishy. Instead of installing an expensive ventilation system, why not just cook outside all the time? In Ilo-ilo, I worked with 2 burners, a back splash and arsenal of woks. All of the knives were big. I watched my aunt cleaver a chicken with skill most people envy in Chinatown shop windows. Preparing food is social, akin to the knitting bee as aunties pick the tinola leaves from their stems. I sat admiring the scene until I was yelled at to stir the squid adobo.
At the Table
To best illustrate Filipino eating culture, I'd say my kin eat with "Hobbit-like" intensity. You can gurantee the presence of a whole roasted pig at any major celebration.
7:00AM - Breakfast: Pan de sal (like a dinner roll), hot chocolate, coffee or tea
9:00AM - 2nd Breakfast: rice (fried if it was from last night), a fish, a vegetable, a stew, a meat, perhaps a shellfish and fruit to finish.
12:00PM - Lunch: Same amount of dishes as 2nd breakfast but perhaps an additional meat or shellfish.
1:00-5:00PM - Merienda (snack): Either a burger, or giant bowl of fruit to pick at while you gossip the afternoon away. Bowls of cracker nuts, pork rinds with vinegar dips, chips, cookies, candy or any street food you may find if you're out and about.
6:00PM - Dinner: The mother of all meals. If you had fried fish earlier, you get this one steamed. If you had chicken for lunch, perhaps a pork knuckle or beef shank stew. Dessert is more elaborate and most likely involves shaved ice, ice cream and/or cake.
12:00AM - Midnight Snack: Everyone sneaks down to the kitchen in their pajamas to pick at the leftovers during late night t.v.
After two weeks of this regimen, I started to bloat. Thankfully, I stayed with some of my American relatives who let me sleep my bellyache off and understood that I wasn't hungry for two days. The thing is, it is rude to leave food on your plate. Even worse, it's doubly rude to tell Lola (grandma) to stop ladling. Small eaters like me are referred to as takawmata, a negative term for people who don't finish their food. Ungrateful! Wasteful! American! Cue sound of teeth sucking in and disgruntled harumphs.
You won't find a fork and knife at your place setting. Instead, a spoon and fork. Forks are not used in the Western way of stabbing, but scooting things into the spoon for you to gorge. I'm serious, you can fit more onto a spoon than onto the tines of a fork.
If you're eating out farther in the rural areas, you have banana leaves as plates and you use your hands. Pretend that your hand is a duck and its beak is closed. You grab up some rice with the tips of your fingers and then stamp bits of whatever else you're eating into it. You get a compact bite of everything.
Rice. Always rice. It is not really an accompaniment but a bed of a truck; a vehicle to carry all of the intense flavors you are about to drive into your body.
Sea salt, raw and harvested locally. It feels like sand and probably has some in it. It's unapologetically crusted onto most things.
It depends on where you are but you will also have some combination of fresh chili pepper, fish sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, brine shrimp paste and/or calamansi in small ramekins. When Filipinos sit down at the table, they will idly perform the task of making their own brand of sauce while chitchatting about what they're going to order. It's like mixing wasabi with your soy sauce at a Japanese restaurant. Between gobs of food, you occasionally dip your spoon into it to perk up your next bite or straight dunk a chicken leg when you feel like it was under-seasoned. I prefer a squeeze of calamansi, a pierced Thai chili pepper, aged palm vinegar with a smashed clove of garlic; amazing with fish!
So much vegetable oil. I am embarrassed about the amount of oily things I ate for a month straight. Boneless bangus (milkfish), last night's unfinished rice and eggs swim to a crisp in inches of oil.
Back home
I knew that my family loved food, but I didn't know that it was so central to Pan-Filipino circuitry. Zipping between metropolitan sprawls to beach resorts to rural compounds, I got a kaleidoscope glimpse of where I come from. It was familiar, but strange to feel like you are returning to a place you've never been. I've resolved to go back, there is too much to discover.

It's no secret LeBron hasn't been playing like himself lately. Explanations have ranged from his girlfriend cheating on him with Rashard Lewis to fatigue from playing too many minutes to lacking Michael Jordan's killer instincts.
The simple answer -- he's choking. Literally.
Choking is a real, recognized psychological problem. It happens when you overthink an action, and it affects everyone, from a kid taking a test to a basketball superstar taking a free throw.
"Attention to the details of your performance can be detrimental if you
are a highly skilled athlete who, under normal conditions, executes his
or her skill without too much conscious control," said Dr. Sian Beilock
in an article that ran last year in Psychology Today.
Beilock, an expert on the science of choking and author of Choke, discussed why it took A-Rod so long to reach 600 home runs.
"Superstars have the love of the fans behind them and also the huge
expectations that come with their success, which can make them more
self-conscious. With that heightened self-consciousness, they also pay
increased attention to their own performance, which, unfortunately,
results in more shots wide of the goal or more strikes when up at bat."
When the pressure gets to be too much, Beilock explains, you can no longer perform at your best.
The point is LeBron isn't being lazy. He hasn't stopped caring. He doesn't want to let people down.
He's just a 26-year-old (how many people, regardless of status, have
it together in their mid twenties?) under pressure who finally reached his breaking
point and choked.
It's not that he doesn't want to step up. He can't.
That doesn't mean he won't play up to his potential Sunday. It just

means that for the time being, he's stuck. And no matter how much we
yell at him, he has to come out of this on his own.
Let's just hope it's now.

The month of December is a time fondly remembered by many of us because it is when we were first admitted to the practice of law. Whether you were sworn in at the Supreme Judicial Court, as I was more than two decades ago, or amidst the grandeur of Faneuil Hall, or at the Springfield Hall of Justice, I suspect each of us can recall that moment -- that moment when what at times had seemed like an interminable journey had finally reached its destination.
Three years ago, I had my first opportunity to speak at the swearing-in ceremonies. Sitting onstage at Faneuil Hall and seeing the event from that side of the room for the first time, I recall my nervousness. More so, I recall being struck with the momentousness of the occasion for those who were about to take their solemn oaths.
Those new lawyers held idealism, which is the best hope for our profession, clearly visible in their eyes. The weight of speaking to those men and women was not lost on me then. It was unquestionably one of highlights of my service as an officer that year. Now, even with several such ceremonies under my belt, it remains as one of the most meaningful and enjoyable things I do as president of the Massachusetts Bar Association.
Without doubt, new lawyers look forward to doing well in the legal profession. I am certain, too, that most if not all also look forward to using their license to do good. It is at those ceremonies when I best understand how critically important the Massachusetts Bar Association, and the organized bar in general, is in helping our colleagues with both.
At one of the ceremonies, Supreme Judicial Court Justice Roderick Ireland spoke of the assistance those new lawyers had received from others along the way. He asked that each reflect upon that help as the future unfolded and, in turn, extend that helping hand to others. Paraphrasing, "because," Justice Ireland asked, "if we do not extend that hand, then who will?"
In my remarks, I encouraged those new lawyers to answer Justice Ireland's call to service. Each of us can lend our support to that cause by making that encouragement more persuasive and meaningful through our example.
Following are my remarks at one of the recent ceremonies:
"Supreme Judicial Court Clerk (Maura) Doyle, (Boston Bar Association) President (Renee) Landers, (Board of Bar Examiners representative) Ms. (Alice) Richmond, my soon-to-be fellow attorneys, your family and friends.
"It is with exceptional pleasure that I stand before you to bring congratulations and welcome on behalf of the officers, staff and 18,500 members of the Massachusetts Bar Association. It goes without saying that each of you individually and all of you collectively are the future of our profession.
"Your swearing in today is the culmination of your extraordinary hard work and dedication over many years. It is also the culmination of the support of your family and friends and that of the many educators and mentors you have encountered along the way.
"Your achievement is well deserved.
"Take a moment, at least for today if not for longer during this joyous holiday season, and savor that accomplishment. Savor it -- for the challenges that you will face are far from over. Unless you are the unique individual indeed, the practice of law will challenge you intellectually, emotionally and at times even physically. By your hard work and dedication (not to mention your passing score on a certain pop quiz this past summer) you have earned the right to face that challenge.
"Fortunately, you will not be alone in facing that challenge. Standing ready to assist you, frankly your best allies in the years ahead, are your fellow attorneys. Whether you look to the organized bar associations like the Massachusetts Bar Association or the Boston Bar Association or the 30 or so fine city, county and specialty bar associations, recognize that we have all 'been there' and are 'doing that.' And we are very willing to help you find the answers and support that you need. This can take the form that best fits your need and your personality -- from 'how-to' educational programs, to practice area committees and sections, to one-on-one mentoring, to networking functions, the list is virtually endless. I am certain, and I'm sure my counterpart from the Boston Bar Association will agree, that every single one of you can find whatever assistance you might need through the organized bar.
"Lest I make this 'challenge' sound too unappealing, recognize that the challenge that accompanies your license to practice law also provides an opportunity; an opportunity to change people's lives and improve not only the communities in which you live and work, but also society at large.
"You will be, as lawyers, the connection between law and our society. Undoubtedly, you will make your impact felt with your clients and those around you. But I strongly encourage you to attempt to make your impact felt on a broader stage as well.
"And here again, fellowship with your brothers and sisters at the bar can assist in seizing that opportunity, whether it is through --
-- Speaking out on critical issues facing the public, the profession or the judiciary, or
-- Developing positions and seeking the approval or defeat of pending legislation, or
-- Identifying an issue and pressing for needed legislation, or
-- Striving to find a way to provide legal services to those less fortunate, or
-- Helping us in our attempts to diversify our profession so that it better mirrors our population, or
-- Speaking to schoolchildren about the rule of law and the preservation of our rights and liberties.
"Meaningful opportunities exist to be heard and felt. And those opportunities are limited only by your passion and your willingness to forge ahead. My fellow attorneys-to-be, you can make a difference. You can and will certainly make a difference in the lives of your future clients. And you can make a difference in making our world a better place. Please join with us in seizing those opportunities ... and helping to make that difference.
"Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to share your wonderful day and I look forward to seeing you around."

Talking birds
Sometime ago, an African grey parrot was in the news because of his amazing ability to hold intelligent conversation in English. He is reported to have an impressive vocabulary of a little less than 1000 words. Intrigued by this amazing incident, the Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) conducted Spiritual research into various details of the parrot and his talking ability.
This research was conducted through the highly advanced extrasensory perception (ESP) ability or sixth sense of SSRF seekers. The following are some of the finds of the spiritual research conducted into this phenomenon.
As a rule, since the basic intelligence of birds is extremely limited (restricted to fulfilling its basic needs of hunger, sleep, sex, etc.), it is impossible for birds to achieve the feat of talking and acquiring an extensive vocabulary. The ability to speak in birds is because they are either affected or possessed by a ghost (demon, devil, negative energy, etc.) or because the bird is a devolved human being, that is, it was a human being in its past life.
A human being can be devolved to be born into a lower species either because of his own wish or if he has excess of demerits or is cursed by a spiritually evolved person. In fact, Spiritual research has revealed that nowadays 30% of animals are devolved humans.
A spiritually evolved being can opt to take birth in the animal or bird species out of his own free will to pursue his spiritual practice undisturbed by the distractions faced in a human birth. It is possible for spiritually evolved beings to carry on spiritual practice even when in the animal or bird species because 98% of spiritual practice is subtle and internal to the person, i.e. not in terms of any tangible actions. When a spiritually evolved being takes birth in a lower species, ie. as an animal or a bird, it is up to him to also decide when to end that existence.
In this particular case, the parrots ability to speak and to acquire an extensive vocabulary is because he is a devolved human being.
He has not come down of his own free will. Hence, he does not remember his past human birth. He has come down as punishment for his demerits. He was a person at a spiritual level of 30% with intense desire to be the centre of attention. A strong attention seeking habit also results in a demerit as it enhances the ego, which is detrimental for spiritual growth.

Reps urges youth to shun violence
Alhaji Zakari Angulu-Dobi, a member of the House of Representatives, representing Abuja South Constituency, has advised youths in Gwagwalada Area Council to shun violence and embrace peace during election campaign.
Angulu-Dobi gave the advice on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dobi near Gwagwalada.
He described the recent incident of youths attacking a community in Dobi during the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign as `unfortunate.'
He called on the Commissioner of Police to look into the issue and caution the youths on the importance of peace during and after election.
"You do not go to campaign with young men carrying all sorts of weapons.
"It is expected that every contestant shows the people that he will bring about peace at all times.
"I have personally visited the village and met with the Village Head to discuss the need to shun violence.
"This place is ours and we should not allow anyone to destroy it.
"The police said that some arrests have been made and more would be made.
"I advice all party stalwarts on campaign to inform the police to provide security to avoid re-occurrence,'' he said.
The legislator also advised the chairman of the area council, to reach out to the aggrieved members of APC and eligible voters to shun violence.
NAN recalls that some youths recently invaded Dobi community with weapons and inflicted injury on innocent people during the APC campaign in the area.

Track Job or Project Costs in QuickBooks 2012
After you set up a job on the Customer:Job List in QuickBooks 2012, you track the income and expenses associated with the job. To do this, you enter the customer and job name (rather than just the customer) in the Customer:Job box.
For example, if you take a quick look at the following figure, you can see the Create Invoices window. Note that the Customer:Job box can show both the customer and job name. If an invoice is associated with a particular job, you want to identify both the customer and the job by using the Customer:Job box. And that's really all it takes.
Other windows that you use to record income and expenses also provide Customer:Job boxes. For example, if you look at the Time/Enter Single Activity window, you can see that QuickBooks supplies the Customer:Job box for recording the time that you've worked on a particular customer's project or job. Again, all you do to track the time associated with a particular job is to identify both the customer and the job by using the Customer:Job box.
If you take a look at the Write Checks window, you see that one of the columns shown on the Expenses tab is the Customer:Job column. This column lets you tag any expense amount as being associated with a particular customer's job. All you do is identify both the customer and the job by using the Customer:Job column.
You won't be surprised to hear that if you happen to click the Items tab, it also supplies a Customer:Job column.
To summarize, in order to track income and expense by job, you must identify not only the account that some income transaction or expense transaction falls into, you also need to identify the customer and job associated with the income or expense transaction.
You do this by entering the customer name and job name into the Customer:Job box. And that's all you have to do. Just remember to fill in that box.

Two of the many transformational leadership competencies required to successfully navigate the future are contextual intelligence and strategic intelligence. Contextual Intelligence is the ability to sense subtle shifts in the environment, to become aware of those changes before anyone else and to predict their likely implications going forward. It is the ability to put things into crystal clear perspective and then accurately frame the picture so others can understand it. Naturally, there is then the need to communicate the picture in a way that others can grasp and comfortably relate to.
Contextual Intelligence is the highly sensitive radar system a transformational leader needs to constantly scan the environment, looking for the signals emanating from the future which suggest the new direction. It is what the great leaders have always seized upon to drive their businesses forward. It is the ability to connect disparate elements and combine them into a vivid picture of a future state.

It takes a lot of people to make a winning team. Everybody's contribution is important.
~Gary David Goldberg~
Like many wedding consultants, Heart 2 Heart Occasions has built a list of preferred vendors for our clients. We take great time and effort to "pair" our vendors and clients when planning weddings. For example, we believe that not every florist will be the perfect fit for every couple.
Due to the complex nature of the matching process, we don't pass along our list to clients. We feel it's our job to make your day perfect, and in that, is matching you with the perfect vendors… for you!
In general I tend to only refer vendors that I have worked with before; either on a wedding or other project. If I feel that I have a client with needs that do not fit any of my preferred vendors, I will expand my net until we find the perfect fit.
Heart 2 Heart Occasions does not accept any payments from vendors to be referred, although we have been offered. And we don't vendor match based on friendships. We simply find the very best fit or each of our clients.
It is true, each member of your team is important. And having the best team behind you is essential.

Lausanne, Switzerland, August 18, 2013 –
Brazil made some major team changes entering the FIVB Beach Volleyball Moscow
Grand Slam this coming week (August 21-25).
Head coach Leticia Pessoa decided to split up former world champions and
Olympic silver medallists Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego for the rest of the
2013 season, as well as the Berlin champions Vitor Felipe and Evandro
The 27-year old Alison will play the final three Grand Slams and three Opens
with Vitor Felipe (22), while 40-year old Emanuel continues with tall Evandro
(23), the national federation CBV announced.
Gold in Berlin
Pessoa made this decision at the end of July just a few weeks before Vitor
Felipe and Evandro won the Grand Slam in Berlin.
The head coach stresses it is an experiment and she has no intention to break
up the teams permanently.
"Since Alison/Emanuel and Evandro/Vitor Felipe have no chance of winning the
World Tour anymore at this point, I decided to give the young players the
chance to gain more experience and motivation. When the World Tour finishes,
the teams return to normal again."
Vitor Felipe and Evandro are the less experienced team and only partnered up
this year. But in Berlin they surprised friends and foes coming all the way
from qualifications to the final, to claim their first ever World Tour medal.
Olympic silver
Veteran Emanuel, triple world champion and owner of Olympic bronze, silver and
gold, has been playing with Alison since 2010. They have proven to be a very
successful pair with eight wins, eight silvers and six bronzes, including
Olympic silver in London last year and the World Championship gold in Rome in
This year though, hampered by Alison's hand injury at the beginning of the
season, they only collected one medal, winning the World Cup final in Campinas
at the beginning of June.


text: If you are sick of incomplete effects, this movie is made for you. Well, this video will absolutely change your mind on things. The surprising video explores its strange story through it's unique characters. A reason to that, is the creative and ambitious director of the film: Shashank Khaitan. Shashank Khaitan is highly intellectual and creative. Even if it doesn't fit director's other characteristics(mimetic and little bit unwilling). However, the video already gets quite positive reviews Badrinath Ki Dulhania doesn't owe the incredible work only to its director. The CAST!! It's making it up for the empty and sort of ordinary title. Alia Bhatt, Gauhar Khan, Girish Karnad and Varun Dhawan are the actors you will watch online for 70 minutes. Even though the actors are little bit sensitive; these names are absolutely not surprising in a movie about friendzones, friendship goes wrong, love and emotions Now it's time to have a little chat about the charming musics of the film. Of course the music could be much better. I am not saying it's really really very adventurous. But it absolutely fits the creative story. I could say special effects are a kind of low-key. I won't do that. On the other hand for this film genre, effects are fairy atrocious. Even more unpretentious than many others.

If you spend most of the day with your eyes open, you have most likely seen one or a million of these. In my opinion, their most notable characteristic is playing chicken with you while driving. They have a habit of going one direction, then pulling a fake-out at the last second to throw off your compensation which usually results in you having a near miss or an unfortunate not miss. I've had the misfortune of having one of those before 🙁
Despite its name, these squirrels aren't limited to that color. They sometimes have a brownish color and sometimes even come in black (which are melanistic). They are also hoarders.. and no, not like the show. Actually, they are scatter-hoarders which means that they can have any number of hidden food caches throughout the area. They are very spatially aware and are known to use landmarks to keep track of these.
I have a few more characteristics for you which are based entirely off of observation. Eastern Gray Squirrels are capable of being quite mean when confronted (we'll touch on that later). Due to some ineffective blockading of an old furnace chimney by some previous owner of our house, we ended up with one of these in the basement. After noticing the squirrel at the same moment the squirrel noticed me, we then entered into a 5-10 second staring match. One waiting for the other to make the first move. The squirrel moved first, darting to the far side of basement only to disappear amongst the shadows and boxes.
This leads me to another observation. Eastern Gray Squirrels are capable of being almost completely silent and will remain so for annoyingly long amounts of time. After it performing a vanishing act that would even impress James Randy and win it the $1,000,000 prize, I proceeded to wait it out. It took about an hour before I heard some rustling which finally led me to its location. Now on to the previously mentioned mean-ness.
I located the squirrel and with broom in hand, made the move to poke it out from behind a box. I now know that squirrels growl. Yes, they growl. They also spread out all of their little fingers to expose their decently sized claws and will attempt to remove one's face if close enough. I feel that I'm dragging this on so let's just say that after building a contained pathway out of boxes and Rubbermaid bins, I was able to direct it out the door.
Also, they are cute.
The End!

Buying property in a foreign country can seem like an intimidating process.

As real estate lawyers in Hungary (with the focus on Budapest), we strive on providing you with all the support you need to buy property in the country.

What do foreign nationals need to buy property in Hungary?

With their residence permits in hand, EU nationals are able to easily buy real estate in Hungary.
Expats that are not EU nationals will be required to obtain permits from the district council before they are allowed to apply for permission to purchase property in Hungary. As a non-EU national, you must apply for your residence permit before you plan on travelling to Hungary, which can be done at your nearest consulate or embassy. After your permit has been approved, you can apply for permission to purchase the property; but to avoid a long delay, we highly recommend using the services of real estate lawyers in Hungary.

We can help you set up your company in order to purchase property in the country, and we can also assist you with all the legalities surrounding the purchase of your company's property.
How long it takes to buy property in Hungary

This entails the applications for permits, applications for permission to purchase property in Hungary, and the approval of all applications. With our team of professional real estate agents in Hungary, we aim to help cut that time down to a minimum, and because we are well connected with the local authorities, you will find that working through us will cut the waiting period in half.
