Idiopathic Hypersomnia is a rare sleep disorder characterized by daytime sleepiness.
Hello, I have been taking Nuvil for about 8 months now. It helps enough that im not sleeping/blanking out during conversations anymore. Probably the most benifit i got from it was a clearer head and with that came a stronger short term memory. For me it does not have the effects of a full stimulant like Aderol, nor the highs and lows. The bad part is that it is addictive and without it I am a witch with a capital B. I find that a strict sleep/wake/med schedule works the best for me. Unfortunatly that mesns my family has to endure it also. Hope that helped. Chris
I have tried a few different medications my doctor gave me. The first one worked for quite awhile then I must of gotten used to it. Besides it not working as well it made my small OCD issues worse. This one I can not take again. One thing I was obsessed with was picking at my arm. It got very bad and I showed my doctor. I have tried two more different medicines and am not having much luck with them. I would love any input from other people. I have noticed my memory is getting worse even though I was forgetful before. It makes it hard to do things, especially things I love. If anyone has any ideas to help please let me know. Thank you very much!
Hello, I have idiopathic hypersomnolence, complex migraines, and an unknown autoimmune disease that affects my joints. I cannot take stimulants as I have Mitral Valve Prolapse with arrythmias. I am now on 5 mg. of prednisone and have found it has helped me slightly with staying awake though I feel more agitated. I also have severe short term memory loss which seems worse on the prednisone. Any ideas as to why prednisone would help with the sleepines? Oh yes, my once quick mind seems to be fading away. It really saddens me.
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access.
Enrolling is easy.
After these steps, the enrollment process is complete. All other questions are voluntary. However, these questions are important to patients and their families to create awareness as well as to researchers to study rare diseases. This is why we ask our participants to update their information annually or anytime changes to their information occur.
Researchers can contact CoRDS to determine if the registry contains participants with the rare disease they are researching. If the researcher determines there is a sufficient number of participants or data on the rare disease of interest within the registry, the researcher can apply for access. Upon approval from the CoRDS Scientific Advisory Board, CoRDS staff will reach out to participants on behalf of the researcher. It is then up to the participant to determine if they would like to join the study.

Prologue: 1991
SOPHIE had made the decision to slip out before dawn. It was a cold,
callous thing to do—and that was precisely what she wanted. Two weeks
prior she'd been chucked by her first boyfriend, Stuart, on the basis
that (according to their interconnected network of friends) she'd been
"needy." It had been with superior smirks that those friends closest to
her relayed every detail they had heard. That she'd clung to him. That
she'd rung too often. That she'd said, after only a fortnight of solid
dating, that she loved him.
The humiliation of it still stung, and so she wanted nothing more now than to eschew her old self. To be rebranded as mature, aloof, and mysterious. It was with these dazzling images in mind then that Sophie had decided to creep out in the early hours, leaving that strange, sleeping boy to wake up alone.
The sky was already edging toward the deep electric blue that just proceeds first light and it was time to get moving. She'd slept an hour at most, if you could call it sleep. Mostly she'd stared at the collage of polaroids crusting the wall. They all seemed to have been taken in the same Highland meadow, possibly on the same day. One of three girls featured in every photo, each wearing the same odd, baggy black dress. Sophie's eyes had retraced the smudged calligraphy beneath each picture a thousand times while the chest beside her rose and fell in tedious rhythm. Lying in a foreign room, in a foreign bed, beside an unfamiliar boy made it impossible for Sophie to relax. And the strangeness of the night and his behavior—really, of him—had kept her on edge.
It had been late when they'd gotten to Tristan's house the night before and they'd spent at least two hours sharing a spliffs and listening to records with the volume turned way down before anything started. She'd resented how reluctant he'd seemed to make a move, and how much more interested he'd been in the nearly inaudible music. His dry mouth had tasted like stale lager and cigarettes.
Sophie stole a last look at Tristan, his dark hair rendered a mess of cowlicks, before disengaging herself from the tangled covers. It took several slow, halting movements before she was free in the bed. Then he began to stir. It was almost as if he'd felt her presence vanish. She held still until she was certain he would remain asleep.
Tristan wasn't particularly good looking, she decided. He had a weak chin, small mouth, and round, feverish eyes. But he'd been witty, and a little dark—and getting off with a boy who went to school abroad was an ideal scenario. Sophie was already rehearsing the story she would tell her mates (a story that would, invariably, get back to Stuart). Yet, standing there in Tristan's grey Joy Division t-shirt, still as a statue so as not to wake him, Sophie let herself admit that it had been a confusing night.
She glanced around the room he'd hastily cleaned only a few hours before hoping to spot some deodorant, but found none. Clothing appeared to have been torn off hangers and surfaces had been unceremoniously swept off into an over-sized, overstuffed, old fashioned looking trunk. He'd made her wait in the hall while he'd crashed around his room on (what Sophie had imagined) was a massive dirty-pants-and-dirty-books-hiding expedition. He'd even gone so far as to clear off entire bookshelves.
Even stranger, he'd tried to stop her from seeing any of his house when he first snuck her in. He'd insisted she close her eyes the whole time, which made it almost impossible to avoid making noise and being discovered by his parents (which he'd insisted would be disastrous). Yet, once inside his room, he produced a spliff and an overflowing ashtray. Sophie would never be so bold as to smoke in her bedroom.
Perhaps, she mused, his parents were drug addicts of some kind: junkies who didn't care whether or not their kids smoked. That might explain why he was so adamant that she didn't see any of his house. Maybe he'd been ashamed of the needles, or whatever other contraband addicts left lying around? The idea also gave some explanation for his brooding nature (a tendency she'd initially found alluring).
But Sophie wasn't convinced by this explanation. What sorts of junkies sent their children to prestigious schools in Switzerland? And Tristan appeared far too well cared for. The snacks he'd brought up from his kitchen (on a trip downstairs he'd forbidden her from joining) suggested his parents kept a well-stocked pantry. From what little glimpses she had stolen of his house, it appeared tidy and typically lower middle-class. Hardly a den of squalid inequity like the ones in the BBC specials she'd seen on addiction.
The sky was getting lighter and Sophie's parched lips were screaming for water. Regardless of Tristan's domestic situation, she definitely wanted to escape this house before his mysterious parents rose. She dressed in a hurry; uncomfortably aware of how much her clothes reeked of smoke and how much she needed a shower. Perhaps, she thought, she could lift a bit of his mum's deodorant if it was on display in the loo. That would at least partially abate her shame as she walked back to Amy's house.
With as much delicacy as she could muster, Sophie unlatched Tristan's door, turned the knob, and pushed—careful not to let it creak. She dared open it only enough to let herself out, and after checking she had all of her things, closed it with as much care. A wave of fresh air from the other side of the door came as a shock. The mingling tobacco and cannabis stink from last night seemed not to want to cross the threshold.
Tristan's room was just off the stairs and his short hall ended with an open door leading to a study, sporting a state of the art Macintosh. Definitely not junkies, then. The hall turned a corner to the left, beyond which was the probable location of the toilet, as well as the danger zone of his parents' bedroom. Slipping her ankle boots back off, she padded down the hall as quiet as she could.
She turned the corner and flinched. Just beyond the bend was a riot of motion.
The way other families would hang family portraits in clusters along their halls, Tristan's parents had installed dozens of little televisions. They seemed to be playing loops of people just waving, or standing around and smiling, but all the small movements added up to a stunning overall effect.
Sophie's mind went into overdrive trying to figure this new piece of information into the mystery. Were they artists? Incredibly wealthy? Engineers of some kind? As her thoughts flitted helplessly from explanation to explanation, she started to notice how strange the technology truly was. The little screens looked nothing like televisions, and seemed to hang flat against the wall like no telly or computer she'd ever seen. Having completely forgotten about her need for water and her fear of waking Tristan's parents, Sophie approached one of the devices playing a (very boring) video. It looked like Tristan, maybe six years old and sullen. He did little more than tug at his clothes and half-heartedly play with flecks of lint on the carpet.
The object seemed just like a framed photograph, only the subject was moving. Sophie found that with incredible ease she could remove it from the wall. It wasn't wired in or anything, just hanging on a nail! The back even looked like any normal picture frame she'd ever seen, down to the metal prongs to hold the photo in its cardboard backing. She turned the thing over to examine its front again, then released it out of shock. The image was still moving.
Sophie heard the glass shatter and then her own startled voice. Other noises followed—scraping and clamoring—but she was engrossed in the strange thing she'd just dropped. The video of young-Tristan had fallen face up. It looked startled, blinking up at her from the floor as though noticing it had been dropped.
Sophie's head jerked up as she traded stunned expressions with Tristan's mother. Still in her nightdress and without a robe, she looked about mid-thirties. Her face was still young and pretty, if rumpled by sleep, but her mousy hair was prematurely grayed. She had the wild-looking eyes of the suddenly woken and terrified, which darted rapidly between Sophie and the wreckage on the hall carpet.
"Tell me." The woman took short, measured breaths. "Tell me you're not—tell me you go to school with Tristan."
Sophie was taken aback. Rather than consider what the woman's request might mean, her eyes drifted back down to child-Tristan on the floor. Whatever was playing the still-moving image had slipped partially out of the shattered glass. It was as thin as paper, otherwise indistinguishable from an ordinary photograph.
"I—" Sophie avoided the woman's blood-shot eyes. "I go to school here in London with Amy, and Amy… Amy went to primary school with Tristan, yeah? I know Tristan… through Amy?"
"Eddie!" the woman called, appearing more scared than angry. "Eddie! Tristan!"
Tristan's mother stepped over the shards of glass and took Sophie's arm in a gentle hand, leading her back down the hall and around the corner.
"I'm sorry," she continued, her voice firm yet kind as she took control. "I don't mean to frighten you and you aren't in any trouble it's just… it's just Tristan hadn't told us anyone was staying over."
As they approached the stairway she rapped on his door and gestured for Sophie to proceed down the steps. Tristan's groggy face emerged before growing somber at once. His mother said nothing and continued to lead Sophie down the stairs. Glancing up she saw 'Eddie' turn the corner in a bathrobe, his light hair a mess from sleep and a mask of confusion on what appeared an otherwise friendly face.
Tristan's mother steered Sophie into a sitting room that appeared equal parts average and bizarre, as though someone from the middle-ages had decorated with an Ikea catalog. Modern-looking chairs and sofas had been arranged in front of the fireplace while feathered quills, ink-wells, and scrolls of parchment littered the coffee table. Two bookshelves flanked the hearth, housing both glossy paperbacks and ancient, leather-bound volumes. On the mantle Sophie saw a number of strange instruments, like the clever toys that decorated office desks, only antique looking. Last of all, Sophie let herself puzzle over the fireplace where hung what appeared to be a large, pewter cauldron.
"There then, have a seat, I'll make you a cup of tea." Tristan's mother headed off to the kitchen but turned back just as quickly. "I'm so sorry, where are my manners, I'm Mary. What's your name dear?"
"Sophie, lovely," Mary replied absently as Tristan's still-bewildered father paused at the edge of the sitting room.
"This is my husband. Tristan's father," Mary added unnecessarily.
"Eddie." He smiled.
"Eddie dear, why don't you have a seat too, I'll make you a cup of tea as well."
Mary strode back toward the kitchen and Sophie heard her hiss something up the stairs at her son. Sophie got the distinct impression Eddie was meant to watch her lest she flee.
"So sorry, Sophie, for all the anxiousness," Eddie said. "You see, my wife and I do very confidential work for the government. Developing technology and that. Tristan knows we've got loads of—oh thank you dear." Mary was back already with two steaming mugs, pausing for a moment to consider each with a frown before passing them over. "Anyway," Eddie went on. "We've got loads of stuff round the house, confidential government projects, all very hush-hush."
Sophie listened politely, blowing on her tea, but still felt baffled by Eddie's casual tone. "Those moving… photographs?"
"Yes, those for one. Microchip computer technology, amazing what we can do these days."
Sophie sipped her drink and sighed despite herself, feeling her long-tense muscles begin to relax. Eddie started explaining more about wireless communication and covert cellular devices and with each sip her unease and curiosity faded. A warm calm began to envelope her. Mary took a quill from the table and slipped out of the room while Sophie leaned back into her armchair. The beginning of a laugh began as she reflected on the baroque writing utensil but her mind soon wandered. A glorious dawn streamed in through the sitting room curtains.
There followed sounds of a gentle 'hoot' from the kitchen, a window sliding open, and a rustle of feathers, but Sophie didn't register the noise. Her attention was absorbed in the motes of dust glittering delicately in the morning light.
TRISTAN had been sitting on the top step for outside of forty-five minutes, head in his hands, as he reeled over his mistake. He'd broken the Statute of Secrecy in a big way by bringing a Muggle into a wizarding household. While overwhelmed by his guilt, furious jabs of injustice still broke through the surface. His father was a Muggle, after all. Eddie lived in the house and made tea in the same kitchen where Tristan's mother stocked first aid potions. His father's landscaping business only got those huge contracts because, Tristan suspected, Mary charmed the flowers into blooming year round and hexed away the snails.
It was stupid, though—inexcusably, illegally stupid—for Tristan to bring Sophie over. But how could his parents expect him to live one life at Hogwarts, another in Muggle London, and keep the two apart? He'd gone fifteen years (well, nine, he conceded) living a double life and respecting the Statute. He'd gone all the way through Muggle primary school lying about his family and never being able to have mates round. Was it so wrong for him to, for once, want to do something normal?
He'd met Sophie at Amy's party the night before and she'd been interested in him. Not interested in the curious, prying way everyone else was—including Amy. Sophie hadn't asked probing questions about his 'school in Switzerland' or what his mother did for a living. The pair of them had talked about music and films and she'd seemed perfectly content to let Tristan wear his protective shroud of secrecy. He'd never meant to bring her to his house, but what was he supposed to do?
Tristan had had a lot to drink on top of other things, and after midnight he'd started to feel like he might start talking too much. Instead, he'd decided to do the smart thing and walk home. Then Sophie'd said she fancied a walk as well. It's not like he could have just said 'no,' even if he wasn't dull enough to think she really only fancied a walk.
And it had been Sophie who'd suggested they walk through the park, and then that they sit on a bench and spark a spliff. And when Tristan had said 'well my house is this way,' she'd replied, 'I'll walk you.' And when they were at his door she'd snogged him, and they'd snogged for a long time. And when Sophie had asked him if he would show her his room Tristan knew she didn't want to see it just because no one else had, but because he would be in it.
The doorbell rang, and Tristan watched his mother rush to answer. "Arnie, thank you so much for coming. This is just—you're a lifesaver, really. I didn't know what else to do."
"All part of the job, Mary, no need to fuss. You've done plenty of favors for me over the years, and boys will be boys, eh?" He wiped his feet on the mat before stepping into the house. "Best to take care of this without too much of a mess anyway. If we let it go it could get very complicated indeed, and no one in Reversals or Enforcement would appreciate the paperwork, I can tell you."
Tristan recognized Arnold Peasegood as an Obliviator from the Ministry and felt another stab of misery. He'd known what to expect, but the reality was humiliating and devastating in equal parts.
"So where's this girl? Sophie, is it? You've given her something to calm her down?"
"Yes, yes, she's just here," Mary said, showing him into the sitting room. "Eddie's been watching her, rattling on about MI6 and Muggle technology,"
Tristan crept down a step to get a clear line of sight.
"Hah! Good man." Mr. Peasegood clapped Eddie on the back before directing his attention to the matter at hand. "So, Sophie. You met Tristan at a girl named Amy's house?"
"Yeah," she replied in a dull voice.
"And then you came back here, and you saw strange pictures?" The obliviator took out his wand.
"Uh-huh." Sophie was slouching in her armchair and gazing absently at some fixed point in space.
"That was some strong stuff, Mary," he muttered out the corner of his mouth. "And were you drinking at this party, Sophie?"
"Ok." Mr. Peasegood turned his wand on her. "So last night, you made the mistake of drinking too much, and felt quite sick. Tristan, the gentleman that he is, took care of you. You woke up and found nothing unusual in his house. Now Mary is going to drive you back to this Amy-girl's. Do you understand?"
Tristan would have been crying, if he ever cried. Had it been his nature, he would have felt immense self-pity for his lot in life. Instead, he found himself mired by self-loathing, eyes dry. Especially so, as he'd accidentally slept in his contacts.
Tristan felt the urge to pounce the Obliviator and insist that not everything from the previous night be forgotten. Then again, he suspected that Mr. Peasegood was not completely oblivious. This was Tristan's punishment for acting so foolishly.
A curl of smoke twisted up through the air toward the ceiling. Tristan
had looked at little else in the week since Sophie had been obliviated.
The record player, which usually blasted at full volume whenever he was
home, sat silent and untouched in the corner and trays of food lay
stacked in a heap beside his bed. His parents hadn't bothered grounding
him. To do so would have been redundant. Tristan had barely left his bed
in days.
"Bring him a tray?" his mum's voice floated up from the kitchen.
"He'll just stay in there if we keep bringing him food. Let him come down when he gets hungry."
Tristan could imagine his father's shrug, his mother's bitten lip.
"I dunno," Mary's distant voice sighed. "You know how his appetite gets when he's like this. Remember back when he was six?"
Tristan glanced at his cigarette, tipped with three centimeters of cylindrical ash, and realized it had gone out. It had been his last one.
Dressing for the first time in a week, he seized his headphones and rucksack and stepped out of the smokey bedroom into the hall.
"That you, son?" Eddie called as footfalls creaked on the stairs.
Who else would it bloody be? Tristan thought.
"Where are you off to, then?" Mary asked in too bright a voice.
"Out," was all Tristan said as the door snapped shut behind him.
The sun blazed bright and he squinted, accustomed to the gloom in his bedroom. He needed enough tobacco, papers, and spliff to last at least the first few weeks at Hogwarts. But only so much could get passed off as 'potions ingredients' before Filch got suspicious.
It was fully dark by the time he returned home, rucksack stuffed with contraband and the last of his summer allowance spent. His parents were sat up in the sitting room but none of the lamps were lit, as though they hadn't noticed that the sun was set.
"Did you have a nice day?" Mary tried, but Tristan only shrugged as he set up the stairs. Then the phone rang and he stopped in his tracks, listening hard while Eddie picked up.
"Oh hi Dan, yeah we're booked for tomorrow…"
Just his dad's co-worker. Tristan's heart sank and he slammed his bedroom door without meaning to. It had been stupid to think that the phone had been for him. Sophie wouldn't be ringing again.
He'd spoken to her once, the day after she'd left his house, while his parents were at work. She'd said she was embarrassed he'd had to take care of her, thanked him for being such a gentleman, and was grateful that his mum hadn't told her mum what happened. She spoke to him like one might speak to a near-stranger and Tristan thought about the proverb about trees falling in forests and whether or not they made sounds. Before, it had seemed obvious that they did, even if no one was around to hear. Now, the answer seemed less sure. If Sophie didn't remember, did it even count at all?
"Sure, no problem," was all he said before they rung off.

How do you correct the 500 Server error Messages?
500 errors is due to the web server (running the web site) encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request by the client for access to the requested URL. This is a 'catch-all' error generated by the web server. Basically something has gone wrong, but the server can not be more specific about the error condition in its response to the client. In addition to the 500 error notified back to the client, the web server should generate some kind of internal error log which gives more details of what went wrong. It is up to the operators of the Web server site to locate and analyse these logs.

text: Almost 291,000 homes across the US received at least one foreclosure-related notice last month, up 6 percent from January, says RealtyTrac.com, a compiler of foreclosure data. Want more articles like this? Create an account today to get BiggerPocket's best blog articles delivered to your inbox Sign up for free The big question in the minds of pundits is when the Obama administration is going to officially own the economic and housing crisis. Fifty days into his administration, the President continues to remind us at every opportunity that he inherited this crisis, and that it is the fault of Bush and anyone other than him. Now that the President has made his Housing plan, his multi-trillion dollar budget, and more bailouts official, isn't he officially running the show? Isn't he the one whose policies dictate what is to happen in housing, the stock market, and every other facet of the economy? My Way News reports "nearly 12 percent of all Americans with a mortgage – a record 5.4 million homeowners – were at least one month late or in foreclosure at the end of last year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. That's up from 10 percent at the end of the third quarter, and up from 8 percent at the end of 2007." Now that the Obama plans are officially up and running, we should be seeing a slowdown in the foreclosure data, right? Only time will really show whether these various plans are effective, and we must give it some time, but I have an important question (amongst many others) . . . Who is in Charge? I believe that the current President is now fully responsible for what happens under his watch. If his plans don't work, then he needs to step up and re-work them. If his stimulus isn't effective, then he should take it back to the drawing board. If the foreclosure plan makes no sense, then man up and do something about it. I'm tired of the whining and the blame game. If we're going to blame people, we're going to have a big list that includes in many ways, practically all Americans, including the President, Congress, Wall Street, Lenders, Agents, Home Owners, and on and on. Lets focus our energy on ending the housing/foreclosure/economic crisis and stop telling everyone "it wasn't my fault", because it was. Most people just don't care . . . they want to stop living in fear. Lets do something about that!

I'm thinking about the obstacles to practice and invite you to do the same. What gets in the way? What keeps you from the cushion. What pulls you off the cushion? What makes you forget you have a cushion to go to in the first place?
This entry begins a series exploring the obstacles to meditation practice. Please comment with your observations. We will then explore the solutions to these obstacles in future entries.
We know from years of research and our own personal experiences that meditation is beneficial. Yet, it can often be difficult to get ourselves on the cushion and to stay on it. We don't have the time, inclination, or energy. We don't remember. We don't prioritize. Does your Storytelling Mind talk you of practicing? Does it bargain with you? What gets in the way of meditation?
A cursory reflection reveals the following list of potential obstacles:

Julian Bond, the civil rights advocate and former NAACP chairman whose lifelong devotion to the cause of equality and justice left an imprint on public education, died Aug. 15. He was 75.
Over the years, he was a forceful voice on education issues, including as an early critic of aspects of the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
In his book The Unfinished Agenda of Brown v. Board of Education, published in 2004 on the 50th anniversary of the seminal U.S. Supreme Court decision on school desegregation, Bond reflected on the ruling, which was handed down when he was 14 years old. He looked at how it had changed schooling for African-American students, at resistance to integration, and at the nettlesome problems that remained in providing better educational opportunities for minorities.
He wrote at the time that among the NAACP's goals for public education were addressing the concentration of minority students in failing schools and inequitable school funding.
Bond was a supporter of considering race in college-admissions decisions, and he was critical of how the civil rights movement and African-American history were taught in schools.
In a 2014 foreword to "Teaching the Movement 2014," a publication of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which he co-founded in 1971, he wrote that "ignorance remains the operative word when it comes to the civil rights movement and much of African-American history."

Unfortunately, that process can be incredibly complicated. Phone systems from different eras have different requirements, and then they get updated over time. It can be hard to even diagnose the problem properly, much less identify the right piece of equipment.
That's where we come in. Call, live chat or email one of our experts today, and we'll help you determine what is needed, and figure out what is compatible with the wide range of Avaya and Cisco solutions. We have 25 years of experience with this, so we get it right the first time, so you can install and stop worrying about it.
What We Sell
VDN sells new and used parts and pieces, and we stand behind our products regardless of their age.
When you order your own equipment, it takes lots of time and effort, and it's often confusing. We make it simple and right for you. Working with VDN means getting the exact parts and pieces you need, at the right place and right time.
Rather than struggle with figuring out what you need and then try to find it yourself, talk to VDN, where you get the products you need and the experts who understand them. With VDN, you can buy with confidence that you're getting the right part at the right price.
No piece of equipment gets shipped out of our office before being fully tested and proven to be fully operational as if it were just out of the box. We sell a number of refurbished parts, many of which are no longer in production. They're not brand new, but they'll work like they are. No complicated installs or calibrations, our equipment comes to you ready to plug-and-play.

During the time that the partial government shutdown is in effect, Medicare Administrative Contractors will continue to perform all functions related to Medicare fee-for-service claims processing and payment.
CMS would continue key Federal Exchange activities, such as open enrollment eligibility verification, using Federal Exchange user fee carryover. In the short term, the Medicare Program will continue largely without disruption during a lapse in appropriations. Additionally, other non-discretionary activities including Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control, and Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation activities would continue. States will have sufficient funding for Medicaid through the second quarter, due to the continuation of authority under the CR for appropriated entitlements, and CMS will maintain the staff necessary to make payments to eligible states from remaining Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) carryover balances.

Marina Grut shares details of her life in this frank yet humorous autobiography. Born in a small country town in the South African Karoo, Marina went on to become a professional dancer, choreographer, teacher, director, lecturer and the writer of three major works on dance history. Along the way she earned the title of Dame in Spain and professorship in the USA. Her life and career in South Africa, America and Europe form the basis of her fascinating autobiography.
Marina studied ballet and Spanish dance at the University of Cape Town Ballet School. She then went on to teach Spanish dance and lectured on ballet for multiple universities and institutions. She was the co-founder of the Spanish Dance Society and of a Spanish Dance Theatre company that performed with incredible success across the globe.

Posted by Don Shelton Seattle sports had a memorable year in 2013, and if you don't believe me think about the stars that arrived this year. From Percy Harvin to Clint Dempsey, teams added big names to try to grab the ring. It didn't always work out, as Dempsey and Sounders FC showed, but those additions added intrigue. The year was capped by one of the wildest days in Seattle's sports history. Last Friday, Chris Petersen was announced as the new Washington football coach. Later that day came more big news – Robinson Cano was close to a deal with the Mariners. And don't forget that the Mariners, who hired new manager Lloyd McClendon in November, are still adding pieces to their 2014 puzzle (though it's hard to imagine they'll reel in a bigger name than Cano.) Harvin wasn't the only player the Seahawks added, either. They also signed Cliff Avril, the NFL free agent available, among others. Vote for the star you think was the brightest Seattle added last year. Take Our Poll Want to be a reader contributor to The Seattle Times' Take 2 blog?

Spring has certainly sprung and after a spot of "spring cleaning" Pig in Camp Blanket has journeyed up the A14 to Hallowtree and is situated at the top building. He is keeping an eye out as you arrive in the car park. Please say 'Hello' when you pass him. If you would like him to attend your event please could you let me know.
The Easter holiday arrived and went in a flash. I hope you all had a "cracking" time whilst enjoying the break.
The Ipswich Gang Show celebrated in style as it was their 80th year, I felt proud to be a member of the cast. Well done to everyone on stage, off stage and all around for their help in making it such a success. It was great to see many fellow Scouters enjoying the experience including Jenny Mullan, Ex CC and the DCs from Deben, Orwell and Wolsey at the show. Steve Leach (Wolsey) said "That it was very good and always exceeds his expectations, It's great to see so many people on stage enjoying it!". I was also surprised to see Peter and Janet Jarvis who travelled from Lowestoft who thought it was just fantastic and commented that "I make an excellent 80 year old!"
In my role as ACC Youth Programme 6-11 years, I felt honoured to watch a fab cast of the Mini Gang who were excellent performers in The Golden Woggle, everyone was superb but special mention must go to Eddie Alway for his fantastic continuous waving as Chris of a Wave. I had to go upstairs and congratulate them all.
Well done to Gemma and the folks in the far eastern part of Suffolk for arranging a Wild time at Africa Alive in order to complete the County Challenge as a whole district and came in second. A big congratulations to one and all and a special mention goes to Emma of 1st Carlton Colville for her efforts in being creative with the scrapbook. First place for Beavers goes to 1st Long Melford, their Beaver toy travelled far and wide. Special mention must go to the beaver who took a photo of a squirrel ( just been knocked over unfortunately) still warm and holding its nut. A big congratulations to you and I will be in touch about getting your prize to you.
And now for the Cubs, second place goes to 1st Honington Cub pack for their entry, well done one and all, drum roll please………..the winner goes to Sam from 6th Bury St Edmunds Cub Pack for his lone entry. A fantastic entry and I can see by his face he really enjoyed himself.
A big well done to the four entries, it was a shame that there wasn't more.
With all this amazing sunshine, It was nice to cool off and think of Christmas yes CHRISTMAS with the Stowmarket Cubs at Athlington. Christmas Eve started the weekend off, Christmas Day arrived and a full dinner was served to visiting older Beavers and the day ended with a campfire. Even the big man himself popped by in the evening. The weekend concluded a much slower paced Boxing Day. A huge Congratulations to Annita , Colin and the team for all their efforts over the weekend. Sunday closed on a sad note with Annita stepping down as ADC for Stowmarket emotions were high and I am sure the District would join me in thanking Annita for all she has done for the young people of Stowmarket. I would like to wish Dan all the best as he picks up where Annita left off. It was also Barbara's last District camp as DC, my thanks and best wishes for all you do in the future.
So as the 6 week hols are approaching over the brow, may I wish everyone a very happy Summer and may I look forward to hearing all your news in September.
Keep in touch,
YIS Scouting

The NPHP is now available on the Internet here. The strategy recognises the importance of car dependence on obesity. It identifies the need to create communities with play spaces for children, cycle paths linking home with work and schools.
It identifies the role taxation can have in reducing the attractiveness of unhealthy choices. It identifies the need to conduct research into tax incentives to support the national active living framework. Included in this are strategies to replace car based subsidies in the workplace (free car parking, novated lease, fringe tax benefits) with walking, cycling and public transport supportive inducements.
Lets hope this results in a change to our current car supporting tax systems to create an environment more supportive of active transport.

The Daughter of Man is an epic good versus evil story with enough twists and turns to keep you holding on for dear life from cover to cover. The story takes place in Florida where a scientist named Gerald Beck is pushing technology to the limit in a desperate plan to save his daughter from certain death. He is unaware of the darkness that surrounds his family as a man known as The Burned One plots to destroy everything Gerald loves.
Jennifer Smyth is a girl hiding behind the pain of her childhood. She had always known, but denied, that she was meant for something extraordinary. She would fight her fate and faith until events drawing her into the darkness threatening the Beck family force her to face her destiny.
Hurricane Arlene is the strongest hurricane ever recorded in modern history. Arlene is on a direct course for Fort Lauderdale where the epic confrontation between good and evil is about to begin. Can Gerald and Jennifer survive The Burned One's plan? Can anyone survive the hurricane?
Colin Chadwick: "This is definitely a book for fans of Stephen King. I was reminded of his writing throughout the book. The author, Candace, has done well with her research of the scientific data required to make the story come to life. The villain lives up to expectations as do the henchmen and there are several twists that pump the story. All characters are very well developed."
Donna O'Brien: "I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was not a dull moment in it. very well written and a great story line. Lots of characters to enjoy and there was lots of interesting info in it as well. Hope this book does well."
redherring: "This book was such a break from the ordinary, so creative. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, the action never let up. A definite page turner. This is a great debut from Candace Mountain. She has a bright future and I can't wait for her next effort!"
LoonieGuy: "You should definitely buy / download this book. Great book for a great price. Highly recommend "The Daughter of Man" by Candace Mountain. A+++"
Jimmy Loram: "I quickly wanted to rate this book, and this is just based off the beginning. WOW! It really grabs you and gets you hooked. Once you've read the first few pages, you've GOT to read the rest. I did see some basic editing issues but no big deal. A mix of King and Koontz is obvious, but actually welcoming and refreshing (have you read some of Koontz stuff lately?) :-/ Highly recommend this book. Enjoy."
The Daughter of Man is also available to borrow via Amazon Prime!

Perpich Opts Out of the Debate Over Funding for Arts School
Minnesota's proposed high school for the artistically talented is struggling for legislative backing this year without the active support of Gov. Rudy Perpich, a long-time champion of the project.
Members of Mr. Perpich's staff say he has not lost his enthusiasm for the proposed Minnesota School and Resource Center for the Arts. Rather, they say, the Governor has backed away from the debate over funding for the school because he feels support for the project would be more solid if the legislature votes to finance it without his exertions.
The arts school is scheduled to open this fall with an enrollment of 135 juniors. Ten teachers would provide instruction in music, dance, drama, writing, and visual and media arts, as well as in traditional academic subjects.
James F. Undercofler, the school's executive director, predicted last week that the Senate would approve funding for the facility but that the House would not. That standoff would force the chambers to resolve the issue in a conference committee.
Mr. Undercofler said Governor Perpich's budget for the upcoming biennium included $7 million for the school, but omitted $5 million for pay for staff members.
In the past, Mr. Undercofler said, legislators have held the school ''hostage," denying it funding in an attempt to coax Mr. Perpich to support their pet interests.--ps

you stated that he was tested carrier also, anyhow, I have been in dogbreeding for 33 or 34 years now and the consistent pattern is that the breeders that fight healthtesting the most obviously have a reason to do so.
by joanro on 19 June 2018 - 14:06
Duke, was necropsy performed on the dogs you claim ' developed' the disease?
How prevelent is dm in your dogs n your present country?
Is necropsy being performed on all those dogs?
Otherwise, your claims are empty.
Exraying for hd is definitive . In other words, its tangible because you get results for that particular dog...has not a lot to do with his offspring results for hd because there are many, many variables contributing to hd.
Not so with present dm DNA test...there is no proof the sod1 allele causes dm.
98% of wire haired fox terriers test A/A or ' afected' yet there are no reported cases of dm in the wire haired fox terrier breed. So explain to everyone how that DNA test is accurate.
And frankly, I need proof of necropsy reports of all those dogs you saw with dm who were the result of ' carrier's bred to ' affected' before I will believebyour claim....you are making claimscthat not even the labs have seen. Sounds like hogwash....do you have stocks in the DNA test? .
by joanro on 19 June 2018 - 20:06
Causes lameness in hind legs, an odd gait where the dog does not lift his hind legs forward and creates a shuffling gate. The condition is seldom diagnosed because vets don't know how to check for.
I know a sch three dog that had it. His owner trainer told me the vet school explained poor or certain conformation can predispose a dog. The constant repetitive injury over time causes the tears in the muscle to ossify. The gait is affected in the hind legs, shortened forward extension and sort of shuffling.
The iliopsoasis muscles attaches to the pelvis on either side of the spine. In butchering meat animals we call the muscle the sweet meat as it is very tender. It's on the underside of the lower spine wherethe back strap is on the dorsal side of the spine.
A much more commmon condition than dm, especially in protection trained dogs because of constant and repetitive slamming impact creating micro tearing in the muscles.
by joanro on 19 June 2018 - 21:06
Duke, I don't ' fight' health testing so don't go making up crap insinuating that because I have learned that the dm DNA test is not proven to correlate to dm, other than occational coincidence, that I am covering up some issues. I tested all my imported dogs and second generation after that with zero dm.
It's a bogus test that is going to cause the breed the same demise the collie eye syndrome caused in the collie breed in the early 60's.
You can select your breeding dogs based on DNA tests and eliminate great dogs from the gene pool same as the collie people did with their hysteria over the eye thing. And then show us how you eliminated dm in the breed.
I am stating my opinion on a test that is not proven to expose the cause for dm.
I have never even seen a case of dm in a dog after sixty years earning a living with dogs from grooming, to training circus dogs for Ringling show, to working in grey hound racing kennels to my own performing dogs to training and breeding gsd for 20 years.
How many years have you been breeding gsd, after you quit breeding Bouvier? How much dm did you have in your Bouvier and how many tested " affected"?
Your moral high ground because you claim all your dogs test " clear" or " dm free" is proof that the test is bogus,,,,unless you necropsies every dead dog that you DNA tested in order to prove the so called " dm clear" dogs truely did not have any sign of dm. Because, as you may know, dm develops over many years and may not cause a problem for the dog till old age. But the disease might be there without showing symptoms.
Necropsy is the only sure way to diagnose dm.

Davisgsds, I know perfectly well what GenSol states on their test results. My issue that they will come back and tell you a perfectly healthy 9 week old puppy is "affected." No, he is not affected. He might be AT RISK of being affected LATER (much later, typically), but he is not affected. It's false information and seems like a scare tactic. We don't have numbers for how many GSDs are running around healthy at 12+ bearing two copies of that mutation. We just don't know.
I do test, but I certainly don't eliminate based on results. I simply choose complementary partners. As I said, my Extreme Orex daughter is a carrier also.
by rakeshausky on 22 June 2018 - 00:06
by joanro on 22 June 2018 - 01:06
No, logic is not he same. I do test for hd and did DNA test all my initial imports, and second generation. After researching, I came to the conclusion the test is not conclusive and by admission of researchers, will not be eliminated using DNA because supposedly, the allele tested for can MUTATE! So even a dog that is supposedly " clear" can get the disease due to mutation and can produce pups that will be " at risk" .?
So the dm test does not tell you anything about the health of your dog.
Again I state: the wire haired fox terrier breed tests 98% "at risk" and yet there has never been a case of dam in the wire haired fox terrier breed....so how does the test work? It doesn't.
Hd on the other hand can be SEEN in the exray...even dogs that don't LOOK like they have a problem can still have an issue that will show up in exrays. And without going into a big explanation about pathology of hd, I don't use any dogs for breeding who have not been exrayed and show no signs of hd.
The only definitive way to diagnose DMis necropsy after death. I'm not willing to sacrifice my dogs to find out if they have a disease especially if they are not ill.
Big difference between exraying and doing a DNA test that is not conclusive.
BTW, I have the same number of dogs with DM that I tested, as dogs that were not tested.... ZERO!!
But I have bought some pups that turned out to have hd when exrayed at 12 months, so were put into pet homes for free with full disclosure.

As promised, here are the NYC Hot Sauce Expo photos! Better late than never no? We had an awesome time at the event this year and picked up a few great products. If you're a spicy food lover like I am you should definitely look into getting some of these products if you don't have them already.
Willikers delicious spicy chocolate syrups are a must in cocktails, over ice cream or in hot cocoa. I preferred the dark chocolate made with toasted marshmallows and chile spices.
Lucky Dog brought their special wax sealed bottles for the event.
Below are the brave souls that participated in the deadly, spicy lollipop lick-a-thon hosted by Michelle from Intensity Academy. She makes the hottest lollipop in the world and some tasty spicy mayo too. How hot were these you ask? These lollies are only 2.3M Scoville units, that's about 500-600 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper! Seriously people, why would you do this to yourself?! I make spicy lollipops and wouldn't try this! Some people have much higher tolerance and were definitely testing their limits…pretty amazing feat I think. They look so happy here in the "before" shot but you gotta see the "after" shots! I'll post video tomorrow for you guys if I can get it to upload.
Event organizers High River Sauces have an amazing arsenal of hot sauces. One of my favorites is the Hellacious hot sauce. Heartbreaking Dawns 1542 habanero sauce is on the money too!
Jersey's own Born to Hula!
I picked up the All Spice Cafe sweet ghost pepper popcorn for that sweet, spicy and salty flavor that's tough to find along with Sauce Goddess Moroccan twist popcorn for blended flavors of caramel, cardamom and chiles for an amazing complex flavor. You can find these at Peppers.com.
You have to pick up Sinclair's Fatalii sauce from Sweet Heat's hot sauce makers. It's made with tomatoes and the wonderfully fragrant and hot fatalii peppers. Fatalii peppers are very similar to the citrus flavors of the habanero peppers but they are a lot spicier, more fragrant and more prominent fruity flavors.
I made a chicken pot pie this weekend and sprinkled some Volcanic Peppers dust for a little heat which surprisingly came through even with the creaminess of the pie. This little jar packs an incredible amount of heat as it should since it is made with just habanero, red peppers and ghost peppers.
This A&B hot sauce is a nice Carolina style vinegar based pepper sauce made in NYC. I like the mid-range heat of this sauce and can see it in future bowls of popcorn!
Twisted Sister's guitarist Eddie "fingers" Ojeda's award winning Ojeda Cherry Habanero sauce made my top list in the sweet and spicy category. It has a great natural cherry flavor and a heat that builds over time. This would be amazing on grilled BBQ chicken or ribs!
Whitehouse Station habanero hot sauce delivers pure habanero heat for that clean citrus flavor I've come to love. It is one of my favorite peppers right along with the fatalii pepper. Puckerbutt's Brown Congo Jelly is not your typical thin, overly sweet jelly. This jelly is chunky with lots of pepper bits and the perfect blend of sugar and heat. Smear it on your pork tenderloin next time.
Hellfire yeah! I didn't get to try all of their sauces but Hellfire's The Elixir just blew me away. Can't wait to put that on everything!
If you can't handle too much heat and love the flavors of green chiles and tomatillos, this is the sauce for you. This was one of my favorites from NW Elixirs. Fresh, tangy, mildly spicy and perfect on eggs or smothered on baked chicken with melted cheese. Are you hungry yet?
Here's one mini entrepreneur! This little guy, with the help of his mom and dad, created his own hot sauce and bravely tried one of my spicy lollipops! This story is pretty amazing and shows how with great parenting and guidance children can learn essential skills to become successful and gain independence down the road. Not only are they selling the Hot Cha – Waa Cha hot sauces and BBQ sauces, but Dad founded and teaches at the Chef2Be Summer program at the Nyack, NY Culinary Learning Center. The Chefs2Be program is for kids over 10 years old interested in learning about healthy eating and cooking. Visit their website for more details about the program.
The day outside was miserably wet and cold and thank goodness the event was held indoors this year. I have to say I preferred last year's set up as vendors booths snaked through venue for easy navigation. This year I found myself a bit overwhelmed and not knowing where to turn exactly but that didn't matter much, I was on a mission and visited every single booth there, especially the food, beer and liquor booth in VIP. There was also a tattoo artist on hand for those crazy, impulsive moments when you convince yourself you need another! I passed but mostly because they didn't have any chile pepper designs! ha!
More food next time please!! Definitely not enough in the VIP area to get through a day of sampling sauces but the sandwiches were delicious, albeit tiny.
oh and I want these earrings!
Until next year folks! Hope you enjoyed the photos. Look for Hot Lollies spicy lollipops at next year's event if all goes well!

My husband is a pastor at a medium-sized church. Our son was reared in this church, and is getting married in a year. Do we invite the entire congregation to the wedding and then a selected number of parishioners to the reception or just invite those parishioners who are closest to our family to the wedding and reception?
The groom's mother died when he was young and his father remarried. His step mother raised him from a young age together with his father. The father died, before the groom was out of high school. So, both parents are dead, and the step-mother never remarried. He calls her "mom", as she was the one who raised him. He does not want to disrespect the step mom, but wants to include the late mother and father in the engagement announcement and the verbage of the wedding invitation. Please help with the correct wording for this unusual situation. Thanks much.
Hi Valerie, thanks for taking my question. In today's society, people do not understand that if your children's/babies name is not on the envelope they are not invited. Is it really rude to put at the bottom of the reception insert, this sentence: "The wedding ceremony and reception are intended to be adult events, unless otherwise addressed on the invitation envelope. Thank you for honoring the bride and groom's wishes." Thank you for your help, Valerie.
I just started a new job this in March of this year and my wedding is in September. The wedding is not local for where I work. Should I send an Invitation to my co-workers and boss?
Hello Valerie, I want to do my own invitations and I am have a problem with with the wording for my wedding. See both my parents(the bride) and his ( the groom) parents are paying for the wedding... He parents are still married but my parents are not and my mom is remarried. My Father is not. I want them to all be included but I am not sure how to do it. Do you have any ideas to help me out. thank you Nicole
Hello Valerie, How do I address an reply envelope. Do I use both the Bride ande Groom name or just the bride? Maenotes
Valerie, My future daughter-in-law is somewhat estranged from her parents (who are divorced). We do not think her parents are going to contribute financially to the wedding, but the bride and groom (our son) will contribute approximately 1/3 of all costs, which includes reception, rehersal dinner, etc. My question is, if the groom's parents contribute most of the funds for the wedding costs, and her parents will not be involved, what should the invitation say? Who shall the invitation say is inviting the guests? Thank you
sisters sent handwritten invitations, actually they were shower invitations. invitations with for,when, where ,time. very sloppy writting.the bwedding is in 3 wks. is there any way to correct this. so embarassed for me and my church.they do not go where i go .i trusted them to do this.
Hi Valerie My son is marrying a girl from Brazil and we have one month to plan a wedding. Would it be tacky to hand deliver the invitations because we are short on time?
My daughter is getting married in August. I have a casual friend I met about 3 years ago through my best friend whom I've known for 42 years. My best friend has offered to host a shower, and so has this other woman. Since this casual friend has only met my daughter twice, very briefly, we were not planning on inviting her to the wedding - the budget dictates we keep the guest list as small as possible. I had considered telling my BFF and this other friend that it'd be alright if they hosted the shower jointly, but am wondering if it's rude to have the casual friend as a shower co-host and then not invite her to the wedding. If we turn down the casual friends offer to host a shower, I know she will be hurt - she's very sensitive, and she absolutely loves to throw parties! What to do?
Hi, My name is Amanda and I recently became engaged. I am very excited and would like to send announcements. I however am having a pretty small wedding consisting of less than 50 people including the bridal party. I would love to tell more people about our engagement without having to invite them to the wedding. Is this rude, if you recieve an announcement should you assume you will later be invited?
My mother-in-law is in a nursing home in a distant state and will not be able to attend my daughter's wedding. Of course, she knows the wedding is coming up. Do we send her an invitation knowing she cannot attend? We don't want her to feel left out, but don't want her to try to send a gift. She knows we are going to send her photos of the wedding afterwards. Thank you.
I have a tough one for you Valery. My daughter is mentally challenged and planning a December wedding. She insists on posting fliers around places where vagrants and recovering alcohlics hang out, inviting them all to her wedding. This is in addition to the family and freinds who will recieve formal invitaions. She does not understand that you need to know about how many people are coming to your wedding. She can't see why she needs to send out special invitations, dispite my repeated attempts to reason with her. She and her fiance have NO money, yet they are planning this big wedding. I am not helping with expenses for various reasons. Her fiance is a good man, and want them to be happily married. We are just worried that she will embarass herself, or become too overwhelmed as the wedding day approaches. She also says she will have no cake or flowers, and will not be providing food. Food will come in the form of a pot luck. Some family members will not take this well. And what will the grooms family think? She seems completely unable to plan any part of the event, yet she insists on having things her way, thwarting any advice or suggestions. Her dad and I feel that she would do best to have a small wedding with just family, as that is about all she can handle mentally and financially. We are so worried that her happy day will be ruined if she proceeds with this open invatation idea. She is literally "The Other Sister" in this matter. I feel I can do nothing but back off at this point -- and pray. Any suggestions on getting her to realize how important a guest list and by invitation only is? What will people think when she has no cake and expects them to bring food? What will happen if she think 100 people are coming and another 100 vagrants pack the church and reception hall?
My parents (of the brides) are planning to pay for our wedding and reception. They have indicated that if the groom's family would like make a contribution in addition to hosting the rehearsal dinner that they could pay for the alcohol at the reception and/or host the brunch. Paying for the alcohol at the reception will mean them footing approximately 10% of the wedding costs. Should the groom's parents then be listed on the invitation as hosts (i.e. Mr. and Mrs. Parents-of-the-Bride and Mr. and Mrs. Parents-of-the-Groom invite you...)? I think that indicates that the wedding is being spilt either 50-50 or close to it and since that would not be the case, I do not think the invitation should be worded as such. My fiance feels differently. Is there a "right" answer or do you have any suggestions about how to handle such a touchy situation?
When a bride registers at stores for gifts, can the little cards be placed in the wedding invitations when mailed?
My daughter is getting married at night. It is a formal wedding. What is the proper way to remind her guests that it is formal and that they are expected to dress accordingly.
My son is getting married and I want to invite his friends but not a guest with them, is this allowed? Can the invitation read Mr. John Hillman or does it have to be Mr. John Hillman and guest
Hi Valerie, My daughter is having a small wedding (60 people), I have two questions for you, is a combination "bride & groom" wedding shower proper to have at "mom and dad's house" and can we invite people not invited to the wedding to the shower? Thank you for your help.
Our niece is getting married in 6 months. We suspect it will be a large formal wedding. We received an email from the brides father giving us "A heads up" as he calls it. The email simply gave the date and stated that we would all be receiving invitations shortly. This does not seem appropriate to give guests a "Heads up". I would think that the bride would not approve of such a thing. First ,he doesnt know who will be invited as this side of the family is totally disfunctional and his email extended invitations to everyone with a request to pass the word along. I just think that sending such an email or informing people ahead of the brides invitation is a bit uncouthed. It this an appropriate thing to do? We are guessing the bride knows nothing about this email nor does the mother of the bride.
When responding to an invitation and if sending a cheque as a gift do you make the cheque payable to the future groom or do you postdate it and make it payable to Mr. & Mrs.?
my mom and i have lived with my stepfather since i was about 10 years old. my step father has always treated me like his daughter he helped with homework, spent time with me, paid for college etc. My father and i not real close he paid minimum child support and i saw him couple times a year. now i am getting married (i am 21) and my mother and stepfather are paying for the wedding and reception. how should the invitations be worded?
on the printed invitation, when the step father is not listed;how do you list the mothers name? Would you use her first name, or Mrs.(husbands name)?
On the printed invitation we have one set of (bride) parents and another (groom) who are divorced. Does the groom's parents say only both names (father and mother) or mother and then father & step-mother? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
The wedding is happening at grandpas house. He is a retired Colonel and I d not know how this should be listed on the invitation... At the residence of Colonel Bob Jones Retired???
Hi Valerie, I have a friend and she has a home, she lives with her boyfriend , How should the invatation be addressed or should each get a invatation?
When we registered, they gave us these little slips of paper that lets everyone know where we are registered. They said to include them in our wedding invitations but I feel that is tacky. What do you think?
On a wedding invitation when both the mother and the father of the bride are hosting the event but they are divorced, whose name is mentioned first? Should it be "Susan Brown (on one line) and (on it's own line) Robert Brown (on the third line) request the honour......?
Hi Valerie! I'm getting married in less than 3 weeks. When I sent out invitations to the wedding party, I included a letter giving a tentative schedule for the day of and the day before the wedding. I am huge on organization. My fiance received a call from his best man whose wife is a bride's maid, and she claimed that she felt like I was bossing her around, and she did not appreciate being told what to do. Was I wrong in sending the letter? Also, I was just preparing tonight to type out tentative duties for each person in the wedding (with the exception of her), is this too overbearing?
on the response card who do you know what date to place as the response date. Like when it says response by
I'm the maid of honor for my best friend since 3rd grade's wedding who is getting married at the end of May. Another bridesmaid, who has been friends with her since 7th grade, and I were surprised and insulted when she did not invite any of our parents to her wedding. The bride was practically a second daughter to my family and has spent countless hours and nights at our house. My mom and I even took her on our vacation to disney world when we were 15. The bride spent much time with the other bridesmaid's family as well, and went on two vacations with them - to Canada skiing and Florida. We haven't said anything to her about this and have tried to overlook it, remembering that guest lists are limited and she cannot invite everyone. However, we recently found out that she invited the other bridesmaid's ex-boyfriend. The bride has only met the ex-boyfriend twice and knows that him and her friend have not been on good terms since the break-up. This inconsideration seems only more insulting considering that she invited him over our parents who she has known for years and spent much time with. What should we do about this? Should we talk to the bride about we feel, or should we try to ignore it?
We have a limited amount of invitations we can send out due to finances for the reception. We want to send out acknowledgements to all others. Do we send them out the same time as the invitations or after the wedding takes place?
I am trying to help a friend with the wording of her invitation. This is her first marriage but her fiance's second marriage. I am wondering if the invitations should say, Angie and Jeremy request your presence or the parents of Mr. and Mrs. Day and Mr. and Mrs. Hill request your presence... Another twist is that the groom was raised totally by his grandparents. Any advise would help.
my 3rd, his 1st, wedding outside with reception immediately following. date 10-08-05. to be held at my son's home. how to word the invitations?
My fiance and I are getting married Sept 30 2006 we are trying to save money and are only inviting adults to our wedding with limited seating.How do we construct R.S.V.P. to inform no children and only persons listed are invitation.
I have an aunt who has six children and 4 in-laws. I invited aunt, 5 children and 4 in-laws. I excluded one child for no other reason than I limited invitations per family. This child is 42 and single. It would have meant one more invitation. Was I wrong to exclude 1 child from the wedding. He is neither oldest or youngest child. Now my aunt and her children are not coming to the wedding. All of the children live locally. Please advise me what I should have done.
Dear Valerie, I'm writing to ask about how to word my invitations properly. My fiance's name is Tyrone Garcia Jr. However, he goes by and everyone knows him by Joey. The wedding is semi- formal, outside and fall/autumn inspired. It is at 4:00pm, the bridesmaids dresses are floor length. Thanks for your help. Natalie
Whose name do you put on the response card envelope when the couple is living together before the wedding. Thanks for your help.
Dear Valerie, My fiancé's mother passed away 2 years ago and his father and step-mother are hosting our wedding and reception. I asked my future in-laws about the wording on the invitations but she feels there may be a more proper way to address a step-mother other than saying 'their son' or his parents. I love them both dearly and want them recognized in our invitations. Any suggestions?
dear valerie, when addressing the invitations is it correct to write aunt and uncle on the outside or on the inside of the second card. Thank you
I sent out save the date cards in January, my wedding is in September. My fiancé nor I have spoken to a few people on that list since January. Do we still have to send them invitations to the actual wedding?
Hi Valerie: My fiancé' and I are getting married in October in Jamaica. How should the invitations be worded? Should it be worded as a normal invitation with the location and time, but just that we are announcing the marriage instead of actually asking for their asking people to come?
Valerie, How do I word my invitation for the reception, sense we are not sure of the location yet? My wedding is on June 25, 2005. I have the church confirmed for the ceremony, but not for the reception, which we will have at a different location after the ceremony. Can I put "reception to follow" but not list where it is and just make an announcement at the end of the ceremony where the reception will take place?
i am sending out my invitation this weekend and would like to know how would i word on the invitations that we would like for our guest to give us money as a gift. i do not have a website for them to go to. we will have a wishing well .thanks in advance

My Father recently passed away, how do I use his and my Mothers name in the invitations?
My fiance and I are getting married April '06 and we know that we want to have the wedding in Las Vegas. Or dilemma is that we want everyone to go that can afford to in leau of any gifts. The question I have is, When should we send out invitations that will provide enough time for our guests to save money to go to Vegas as well? Do we just spread the word as to when we're going then send out invitations a few months before as normal?
Is it ok to invite part of a family ie: we would like to invite a family friend (who's single ) and just her daughter (she is friendly with the bride) and not her high school age son, because he is not as close to the bride. We are trying to limit the number of invitees. Is this appropriate or not? We are having other teens, so the age rule does not work.
We have been living together for quite a while and are having a very casual ceremony. We would prefer for our friends to give us cash gifts since there really is nothing we need. My questions is, is there any way to include that on our invitations without sounding so bad? I appreciate your help with this. Thank you, Lori
I am trying to save money on invitations, so, I would like to put the reception information on the face of the wedding invitation. The wedding and reception are at the same location. Is there specific wording I should use?

Regarding Save the Date cards, is there any etiquette involved? More specifically, is it ok to handwrite the envelopes? Should they be written as formal as the actual invitations?
I have heard that there is some type of formula as to the number of invitations sent and the number of guests that attend. Could you help me here? The chapel holds 300, how do you decide how many you can invite?
What is the proper way to send invitations to guests when you have 2 lists? One for the ceremony and one for the reception only? This is due to limited seating at the chapel?

When a woman of Heather Camby's talents agrees to pose for Page Three, she just does what comes naturally: she gets on stage. Here she is, in all her leopard skin glory, up on the boards at the Broach Theatre while her body instinctually soaks up the spotlight. She's no stranger to the stage. Heather has been working the pageant circuit since she was a teenager '— she's been Miss Forsyth County, Miss Thomasville, Miss Asheboro and Miss Hickory, yet she says she's often misunderstood. '"Musicals,'" she says. '"That's my thing'… my drug.'" The 24-year-old is a 2003 graduate of UNCG, where she originally majored in drama but switched to human development and earned a degree with so many words it barely fit on the sheepskin. And when she's not shining on stage, she manages a Triad facility for people living with HIV. '"It's a day job that matters,'" she says.

This course has really helped to fill out my piecemeal understanding of the development of rock music. The pace and content of learning has been well considered and Prof Covach is to be congratulated.
Mar 13, 2018
Provided insight into what I was listening to as a pre-teen. I didn't have the exposure to some of the older roots or the an understanding of the business forces that shaped the music I had access to.

You can clearly see that the professor is a passionate and has got a huge knowledge about the topic he is talking about. What he says is interesting and valuable, I also liked to learn facts about historical facts and anecdotes accompanying the lectures. I learnt a lot and listened to a lot new music.
It takes quite a lot of time to watch all the videos, take notes (the exams are not that easy :) ) and listen to all of the examples, but it was definitely worth it.

This course is just packed with so much information. I mean that in a good way too. John pieces the whole history of rock in a way the is digestible, engaging and interesting. I primarily watch the videos. I'm a music fan and just love learning more about rock's trajectory. Didn't know that there was so much history to it. And in case this wasn't enough, be sure to check out part 2. Thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the history of rock and music.
