Careful what you say...and how you say it
Patients get more anxious when you use the medical terms for conditions and diseases than the lay terms, a new study in PLoS Medicine finds.
When study subjects were given the medical term for a condition-- like "erectile dysfunction"-- the condition was perceived as being more severe, more apt to be a disease, and more rare, than when they were given a layperson's label--like impotence, a press release said.
Here's the thing: the effect was only seen with terms that have been "medicalized" in the last ten years, like "hyperhidrosis" for excessive sweatiness. Medical terms that have been around for awhile, like "hypertension", didn't make patients more nervous.
If a patient thinks her disease is more serious if you say "GERD" than "heartburn," it may affect how seriously she takes care of her health in relation to that condition, one of the authors said. So choose your words wisely.

So the question is: should docs use medical terms to frighten patients into taking their condition seriously (and taking their meds regularly), or should we try to normalize the disease by using the layman's term for it? :)
- Jessica Berthold said...
Good question. I wonder if docs should pick and choose, depending on the situation...?
- Toni Brayer MD said...
Jessica: I agree..different situations require different terminology. Also the medical I.Q. of the patient plays a role. This is where the "art" of medicine comes in. I have found that the most confusing term for a patient is "lesion".
- Jessica Berthold said...
Toni-- that's interesting. I can definitely see how that would be a confusing word, and would come across as more frightening than, say, "wound."
- medaholic said...
I think it's more frightening because it is unknown. Humans fear uncertainty, and having a multisyllabic disease name presented to you quickly causes uneasiness

Editor's Note: This is the second story of a three-part series highlighting the recreation opportunities at Standley Lake Regional Park in Westminster. The first story focused on the history of the park and the final story will focus on educational opportunities.
Stocked regularly with walleye, wiper, trout and bass Standley Lake offers fishermen year-round fishing along the shoreline as well as boat fishing May through September. The lake is also the Colorado state record-holder for the largest walleye, 18 pounds, caught in 1997 by angler Scott Regan.
Standley Lake Regional Park in Westminster at 100th Avenue and Simms Street, offers much more than just great fishing. The park offers hiking, biking, camping, power boating, kayaking, paddle boating and wildlife viewing. And for those who own power boats, the lake offers recreational opportunities, like water skiing and tubing, without the hassle of an overpopulated park.
Because the lake is a water source, there are limitations to how much recreational use can be done in the water. Part of those limitations is a limit on how many power boats are allowed on the lake. Each year the park issues 550 power boat permits and each year those permits sell out. The reason for the permits is to maintain a high level of water quality in the lake, said Mike Happe, Utilities Planning and Engineering Manager for the city of Westminster.
"The lake is the main source of water for Westminster and is a big water supply for both Northglenn and Thornton, so keeping the water quality very high is a priority," he said. "Because of this, we also don't allow swimming in the lake because having less human body contact in the water creates an even bigger barrier in terms of protecting the quality of the water."
Along with obtaining a permit, each boat must also sprayed down and quarantined for 15 days before entering the water to comply with the park's Aquatic Nuisance Species, ANS, program. The ANS program is an effort to keep zebra and quagga mussels from infesting the water. Mark Reddinger, lake operations manager, said when a boat is clear to enter the water the boat and the trailer is tagged. Boats who have entered another lake or reservoir must go through the spray process and quarantine again, he added.
"When we first started this program we did get some backlash, but now people have accepted the program. Because of our permit program, we have less people and boats in the lake, which people really enjoy," he said. "We have some people who store their boats here in the park all summer and come out every weekend. Many of those people we've seen for years and end up getting to know them pretty well."
Standley Lake is also a non-alcoholic and jet ski-free park, which Reddinger also says is a benefit.
"We know there is alcohol out there, but because it's not allowed it makes people check themselves if they choose to drink alcohol," he said. "And because we don't have jet skis on the water, people feel the lake is a lot safer."
The lake isn't just home to power boaters, but also people in non-motorized boats, kayaks, canoes and paddle boats. Just recently the park designated a section of the lake just to these types of vessels and senior ranger Holly Walters said she's already seen a jump in the number people taking advantage of the opportunity.
"The designated area of the lake for non-motorized vessels is the north west corner and is a pretty big chunk of the lake," Walters said. "It's a really nice amenity for people to come out and not have to worry about boat traffic. Plus it's just gorgeous out there."
By the end of the September, the camping ground and all water activity will end until the following May, but the rest of the park is open year-round. Walters said it's the non-summer months when wildlife viewing is at its best. Over the years the park's been a home to mountain lions, bobcats, bears, coyotes, mule deer and many others. For bird watchers, Walters said the park offers great opportunities to view a variety of birds like herons and pelicans, and of course a pair of bald eagles, that nest in the park year-round.
"Many people think we close after summer, but there are still so many great recreational opportunities for people in the park, whether it's fishing along the shore, or hiking around 14 miles of trails," Walters said. "Standley Lake is just a great place to escape the city any time of the year and enjoy nature. As a ranger I get to enjoy it every day and I wouldn't choose a different office."

They are starring in a new movie together called Pathology – here promoting it at Wizard World in LA at the weekend.
The preternaturally preserved Alyssa, now 35, doesn't look a day over 25. Much more suitable for Milo, 31, who's been creepy perving on that little Lolita Hayden Panettiere.
They do look good together, non?

Ombudsman Responsibilities (from the Faculty Handbook)
D. Informal resolution. Faculty members must make a bona fide effort to resolve an issue collegially by discussing their concerns with their Director/Chair and Dean. If this does not prove satisfactory, faculty members may request intervention by the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman will investigate and report findings in an effort to achieve equitable settlements. The Ombudsman will arrange, attend, participate in, and keep appropriate records of informal meetings between the concerned faculty member and the appropriate Director/Chair, Dean or other responsible administrator to explore possible settlement of the issues. If a collegial solution can be arranged, it may take the form of an informal arrangement or a written document specifying the settlement's terms.
E. Mediation. A formal mediation process to resolve disputes is available. Faculty and administrators are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this process before filing grievances. Participation in mediation is voluntary, and both faculty member and administrator must consent to participation before the process is used. The Ombudsman must inform the parties of availability of mediation and attempt to secure an agreement to mediate.
F. Filing a grievance. If informal resolution is neither possible nor satisfactory in the judgment of the concerned faculty member, the faculty member may file a formal grievance on a form available from the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman will immediately forward the form to the Hearing Officer, the Respondent, the Provost and the Chair of the Faculty Senate.
Once a formal grievance is filed, parties to the grievance may communicate about the grievance only through the Hearing Officer.
(For further procedures, see the Faculty Handbook, p. 23)

It's out!
It's out!
Its was a good chapter, kind of short though.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
Hibari = Awesome
Still want to know about the connection between D Spade and Shimon...
(Yeah, quite short chapter.)
4/5 also, just because of the shortness. Felt almost like it was missing a bigger splash page for Hibari's counterattack. An overwhelming attack, hopefully "not end the battle already" overwhelming.
Taking Tsuna's X-burner. Why do I get the feeling that if she's right later in the arc possibly when Sjimon and Vongola join to stop Spade, then that fact might become very important. Also get the feeling her clones can reform.
Is it me or do Hibari and Adelheid seem like college in age, (especially with the outfits)?
I agree, Hibari definitly looks older than the other Guardians. Adelhied reminds me of Byakugan for some reason. I would love it if Hibari wins, but if he wins its almost like a clean sweep for Vongola which would be boring. Either way you look at it, the only exciting outcome would be if Adelhied wins. She's the strongest Shimon. If she loses Shimon is all but over. Unless Spade is that much of a badass.
Beware of the Kyubii
Stev3child - The biggest pussy of them all is rokudaime sennin though. If he was a real man, he wouldn't have relied on hax god-given powers to seal the Jyubi. He would have suplexed that bitch and ripped each tail from the beast one by one with his bare hands.
Spade might be a relative of Shimon. )
Looking forward to the inevitable Shimon/Vongola vs. Vindice arc after this.
I like how thematic Amano is with her story-telling and character building, keeps everything neat and grounded despite the leaps and gaps in canon. While predictable to an extent, it lets you draw your own insight into the Shimon's personalities and agendas really well and vindicates you when you read them right. The contrast between the Shimon and their Vongola counterparts serves to highlight the main characters' development quite impressively as well.
Am surprised at the lack of Chrome vs. Tentacles thus far in the arc. I feel there's been some missed opportunities in that respect.

3) Creating An EndNote Library
You may create an unlimited number of libraries in your installed (desktop) version of EndNote but it is recommended that you use the Groups option to set up topical segregations of your library. Each library can contain an unlimited number of references. You may then have up to 5,000 custom, smart, and combination groups in your library. With one large library you can search across the entire library and you may cleanly sync with that corresponding library in EndNote Online, which allows only one library.
NEW with EndNote X7.2: Sharing EndNote library with up to 14 colleagues. See http://endnote.com/product-details/library-sharing
NOTE ESPECIALLY for Science journals term lists: It is highly recommended that you bring journal term lists in before creating your EndNote library. Many of the journal styles that you may use need data from the journal name term lists to appropriately output the journal name or standard abbreviation. After you create a new library, first import your journal term lists and then import/add references into this new library.
From EndNote click Tools>Open Term Lists> Journals Term Lists. Click on the Lists Tab from the new window. Click on Journals and choose Lower right button for "Import List..." Your location for these will most likely be in C:\Program Files\Endnote X?\Terms Lists folder. After navigating to this, double-click on the Terms Lists folder and then double-click on appropriate science term lists separately to load as many as you wish. For example, if you choose Bioscience, Medical and Zoological, you will have over 11,000 journal terms.

NOTE: Chapter 3 in EndNote X7 Online User Guide
- Creating Groups [EndNote]
Create custom groups, smart groups, and group sets to organize subsets of your ever-expanding EndNote Library.
See Chapter 2 on Custom Groups in the ENL X7 User guide (link above in EndNote @ UCD section) and Chapter 5 for detailed information on creating Smart Groups and Combination Groups.

4) Adding References To Your EndNote Library
- Direct Export for BioAg Related Databases [EndNote] (http://www.lib.ucdavis.edu/dept/instruc/research/endnote/filters-win.php)
Most UCD licensed BioAg subject databases enable one to *directly* export source bibliographic information from the database into your EndNote Library. This is the most efficient method for building a large EndNote library very quickly. [NOTE: title link above is to Windows instructions for Direct Export of all UCD licensed databases enabling EndNote export]
BioAg related databases which enable Direct Export are: BIOSIS Previews; Web of Science/Science Citation Index; PubMed; CAB Abstracts; Food Science and Technology Abstracts; Agricola; Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts; Environmental Sciences & Pollution Management; PsycINFO; Zoological Record; Fish, Fisheries & Aquatic Biodiversity Worldwide; and Wildlife & Ecology Studies Worldwide.
In addition, the Harvest UCD libraries online catalog and the Worldcat (OCLC Firstsearch) catalogs work with Direct Export.
CLASS EXERCISE: Add five references from any two databases listed above into an EndNote Library
CAUTION for Mac Users: Safari does not work with Direct Export -- you must use FireFox.
- Filters [EndNote] (http://endnote.com/downloads/filters)
Many UCD licensed subject databases require that you export source bibliographic information from the database and then use a EndNote filter to import the references into your EndNote Library.
A BioAg related database (for biochemistry and food chemistry etc.) which requires a filter is: SciFinder (Chemical Abstracts).
NOTE: Hundreds of filters are available -- if you do not see the filter you need on the UCD Library Filters list, consult the EndNote website list linked from the title of this Filters section. If you need assistance in which filter to use, please contact Ruth Gustafson at email@example.com
CLASS DEMO: Depending on class attendance, SciFinder search and filter steps may be demonstrated. Shields Library Instruction Lab (LIL) may not currently have all filters loaded on LIL computers.
- Google Scholar [EndNote Import] (http://scholar.google.com)
If you have not found a particular reference in online databases, before manually entering the reference, you might want to see if Google Scholar has the citation. If so, keep in mind that the bibliographic data may be quite minimal or incomplete. You can "Import" Google Scholar references into EndNote but Google only allows importing of one record at a time.
Search for your topic in Google Scholar, click under the item you want on the link "Cite" and then choose "Import into EndNote". Below is a box that you can check off to "Remember my bibliography manager and show import links on search result pages." NOTE: Google does not send coding for the reference type (book chapter, conference etc.) so the record automatically goes to the "journal article" reference format. Scan carefully each imported record in case a reference type change is needed.
- Manual Data Entry [EndNote]
If your references/citations are not found in any literature database or if you wish to enter references/citations found in a print bibliography or other print source, you will need to enter the bibliographic data manually into your EndNote Library. You may also use manual entry to edit references including to attach PDFs or relative links to your EndNote references. Up to 45 PDFs or relative links may be added to each record.
See Chapter 5 in the online EndNote X5 Getting Started Guide for detailed information (link above in EndNote @ UCD section). Note that each record can contain up to 52 fields such as author, title, year etc with 8 custom fields available. There are 47 predefined reference types (or publication formats such as journal article, book section etc.) and 3 "unused" reference types available for customization.
Special Rules/Standardization: Other than author fields and corporate authors, extra punctuation or text styles should NOT be entered as the style files will provide this information. You should include scientific name italicizing and chemical/mathematical notation super/subscripting.
Author Entry: [Note: Place each name on a separate line] Lastname (surname), firstname Corporate name, EXAMPLE University of California Davis,
Journal Title Entry: Enter the full journal name (journal term lists in combination with style files can always generate journal title abbreviations, as required)
CLASS EXERCISE: Add one journal article (the default reference type) and one other format record of your choice (Book, book section, conference paper, conference proceedings, dataset, government document, patent, report, thesis etc.)

Adding PDFs to your EndNote Library
- EndNote: Find Full Text
- Author: UC Davis librarians
Find Full Text: NOTE -- this does NOT find all PDFs but does well with recent publications. Limited to searching 250 items at one time. (If it doesn't work, some other options are noted below and you may also manually add links/PDFs.)
Configure Endnote to use UC-eLinks as shown below (increases likelihood Endnote will find full text for you):
1. Open EndNote.
2. On the top menu: PCs: Select: Edit | Preferences | Find Full Text (tab) or Macs: Select: Endnote | Preferences | Find Full Text
3. Check all 4 boxes.
4. In the OpenURL Path text box, enter: http://ucelinks.cdlib.org:8888/sfx_local
5. Click OK.
- PDF Import [only EndNote X5 and newer]
You can Import PDFs (or folders of PDFs) of articles or other publications from your hard drive and EndNote will automatically create a record for each PDF.
IMPORTANT: records are attached to your PDFs only if your PDF has a DOI (Direct Object Identifier) as part of the record. You will need to add the bibliographic data yourself if there is no DOI.

- Author: Thomson Reuters
- This video demonstrates setting up the PDF Auto Import (or "watch") folder in EndNote. This feature is new with EndNote version X7. It permits one to "... designate a watch folder on your computer and, whenever anything new is added to it, EndNote will match it to the corresponding reference and attach it." {Published 12/16/13}
5) Formatting References From Your EndNote Library
Using your class library, look at pull-down Style menu (below References and Groups options) which is pre-set to "Annotated".
CLASS EXERCISE: Select all of your references with Ctrl-A and change "Annotated" to "Select Another Style" and look for your favorite journal and choose that style. Your formatted references will be displayed in the Preview window near the bottom or the right side.
- Output Styles [EndNote] (http://endnote.com/downloads/styles)
The Thomson Reuters EndNote Output (or publication or bibliographic) Styles collection contains more than 6,000 bibliographic styles with excellent coverage of most biological and agricultural journals.
NOTE: The initial download of EndNote software will only install the most commonly used output styles unless you choose to load more styles immediately after installation.
6) EndNote Cite While You Write (CWYW)
EndNote's Cite While You Write (CWYW) feature inserts EndNote commands into Word's Tools menu (or on an EndNote tab in Word 2007 and 2010 for Windows). This provides you with direct access to your EndNote references while writing in Microsoft Word. CWYW commands enable EndNote to implement bibliographic formatting to the document that is currently open in Word. You may also generate a stand-alone bibliography using CWYW in Word and choosing the small boxed arrow icon to the bottom right of the Bibliography group in the center top pane.
See Chapter 8 in the online EndNote X7 Getting Started Guide for detailed information (link above in EndNote @ UCD section).
CLASS EXERCISES: Keep EndNote Library open and open MS Word. Paste a paragraph of any text (an abstract from a citation in your library works well) into MS Word and change style from default to a preferred style for your discipline.
CAUTION: Make sure this setting is correct "Instant Formatting is On"

August 26, 2010
Following years of protracted litigation in various courts across the country, the IRS has made the determination that medical residents are exempt from FICA taxes for the tax periods ending before April 1, 2005. North Shore-LIJ Health System was at the forefront in developing this issue for consideration by the IRS and the courts. Accordingly, North Shore-LIJ Health System and its member hospitals ("North Shore-LIJ") is in the process of pursuing FICA tax refunds from the IRS for years prior to 2005 for itself and qualifying North Shore-LIJ medical residents, including fellows in training programs ("Medical Residents"). This includes Staten Island University Hospital.
In addition, there is pending litigation in the United States Supreme Court involving the Mayo Foundation and its challenge of the Treasury regulations that imposed FICA taxes on medical residents for periods beginning April 1, 2005 to the present. North Shore-LIJ has also decided to seek FICA tax refunds for these subsequent periods on behalf of itself and Medical Residents.
All affected Medical Residents who participated in medical residency training at Staten Island University Hospital prior to April 1, 2005 received a letter and consent form (mailed around the week of July 26, 2010, via home mail). Those who wish to participate in this FICA Refund initiative must complete and return a consent form by September 15, 2010 per the instructions in the letter. To help manage this process, Gilardi & Co, LLC has been engaged. Therefore, all inquiries and any related matters should be addressed to
Gilardi & Co, LLC directly as set forth in the letter.
As the refund claims proceed, additional information will be provided through the
Gilardi & Co, LLC
website. Please access a list of Frequently Asked Questions below. Should you wish to speak to someone or ask additional questions, a contact number and email will be provided in the letter being sent by mail.
Please note: All affected Medical Residents who participated in medical residency training at Staten Island University Hospital AFTER April 1, 2005 will receive a separate communication in the coming months.

Bio; Bellatrix is very friendly, not unlike Pomona, only without the limitless surplus of energy. She is willing to make friends with anyone, though her inherent odor tends to make this a difficult task. This does not deter her, however. Bellatrix secretly has a desire to become the strongest Pokémon in the world, following a bloody and brutal battle against a rampaging Rhydon, back when she was a Stunky, which resulted in a swift, embarrassing, and nearly fatal loss on her part.
Opinion on evolution; Bellatrix never really showed much opinion regarding evolution, though after the Rhydon incident, she certainly became more devoted to her training, and seemed pleased upon becoming a Skuntank.
Obtained: Cable Club
Birthday: May 17th

Well, little guy, you have to thank for helping me to increase my whim about you. In fact, we can go see him--and Sirius--real soon. So off we go... Laika!

Skip to comments.MCCONNELL: TEA PARTY 'BULLIES' WHO NEED PUNCH IN NOSE
Posted on 11/22/2013 9:34:00 AM PST by Star Traveler
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on a conference call organized by Karl Roves Crossroads organization for large donors and their advisers on Oct. 30 that the Tea Party movement, in his view, is a nothing but a bunch of bullies that he plans to punch in the nose.
On the call, according to a donor who was on it, McConnell personally named Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) as Tea Party conservatives he views as problematic for him. The bulk of it was an attack on the Tea Party in general, Cruz in particular, the source, a prominent donor, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News.
But the most memorable line came at the end of the call.
McConnell said the Tea Party was nothing but a bunch of bullies, the source said. And he said you know how you deal with schoolyard bullies? You punch them in the nose and thats what were going to do.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Oh, that McConnell is such a macho guy!
Sir, you are SO toast.
Someone needs to recommend that Mitch order his packing boxes next week so he gets an early start.
The tea party is the best thing to happen to the GOP since Reagan. Too bad they're too wrapped up in big government and corrupt cronyism to see it.
It is time to replace this party, folks. Now or never. I have never been a third party type, and I am not now, but this party needs to go.
One of you re-write the title it looks like
Brilliant strategy!
Where are the Kentucky Al Qaeda when you need them?
Isn't there some saying about knowing that your over the target when you're getting flak? Go, Ted, go!
Haha. I've been warned by the moderator not to change the title so I always copy directly from the site.
You are going to get the beating of your life you chinless pos.
Votes and voters are never Heaven sent .... except perhaps in this case.
Hey Mitch! How about punching a DEMOCRAT in the nose, buddy? Talk about bullies.
Mitch, Don't let the door hit you in your Rino ass as you go out the door!
YEP AND he is a cute little senater with such courage.
What say you, Rand Paul?
What a stupid stupid comment.
Mitch, plan on spending more time in the pasture.
It was a small change removing the first word 'exclusive' and capitalizing the rest of them.
Makes searches harder.
Its not locked yet though.
Evidently, Mitch would love to punch Ronald Reagan in the nose.
"Exclusive" wasn't the title of the article. The "title" is everything after "exclusive".
"Exclusive" is what a paper or magazine says when describing the "type" of article it is.
I'm thinking a bitch slap on the floor of the Senate and then move onto Reid etc.
Try about three feet lower. A kick with steel-toed boots.
It's on like Donkey Kong, Mitch.
Rand Paul seems to be settling in nicely as a gope.
He is a princeling after all.
These wastes of skin in the GOPe need to be completely overthrown.
I just wish that the 43 had one pair of balls between them. All we have is Cruz and Lee.
See post #28 ...
A Kentucky Gelding.
Your thread's not locked yet. Still allowing comments.
Dump McConnell, Big Government Republican and Dingy Reid's Best Friend Forever.
Elect solid conservative Matt Bevin:
The original is caps, how did yours get lower case?
See post #28 ...
The CAPS were part of the original article, taken as a direct "copy and paste".
Has he ever threatened the Democrats like this?
Hey, they will be demanding we vote for the lesser of two evils.
As if its not hard to tell who that is in some places
Not just a punch in the nose but I would like to see him being kicked in the groin area.
Mitch McConnell needs a kick in the a$$ hard enough to throw this career criminal right out of office.
God I love it. Is there a way to download it and print it out to send it to the GOP when they send me request for donations?
I think it is beyond clear that we need to "Ditch Mitch".
I think it is beyond time to support Matt Bevin:
I see... The TEA party, (Taxed Enough Already), is the bully here? We the Taxpayers of the country are getting raped over and over to pay taxes on this, taxes on that and 'fees' up the ying/yang and we are the Bullies?
Fraid not, Senator McConnell, it's time for pay back. You and yours bullied us first and took all you could from us. Now it's time for you to get taken to the cleaners.
If only he could direct this anger toward Harry Reid. Please, Kentucky, GET RID OF THIS GUY!!
I suggest making the contribution through the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), a group of patriots that McConnell hates. 100% of your contribution through SCF reaches the candidate. SCF was the group that first introduced Ted Cruz to me with their endorsement of Cruz for the U.S. Senate seat in my home state of Texas.

Skip to comments.Outrage over hand grenade Christmas ornaments
Posted on 12/12/2011 9:11:30 AM PST by DeaconBenjamin
A decision by the Swedish Army Museum (Armémuseum) to raise money for charity by selling hand grenade-shaped Christmas tree ornaments has sparked a storm of criticism from disgusted visitors.
Quite simply I think it's distasteful, especially if they are raising money for charity. This is a museum frequented by children and it's hard to explain to them why there are hand grenades in the Christmas trees, visitor Elinor Lindeborg told Sveriges Television (SVT).
This is an Army Museum, but should still try to highlight a non-war perspective.
Lindeborg and others have reacted to the Stockholm-based Army Museum's efforts to raise money for anti-poverty and disaster relief charity Christian Aid by selling Christmas tree orbs that look like hand grenades.
Support Christian Aid and their work for peace and against poverty by buying our Christmas ornaments which are a subtle reminder of those who are less fortunate than we are during the holiday season, the museum says on its website in promoting the initiative.
How in Lord's name can they come up with such ans idiotic idea to make Christmas tree balls shaped like hand grenades? Sick! Shameful, another upset woman told Sveriges Radio programme Ring P1.
Despite the criticism, the museum said it has no plans to pull the hand grenade ornaments.
I can understand that people react, especially if they has been in a war situations themselves, but we've chosen to focus on seeing that proceeds go to a charitable cause, the museum's division head Helena Martinsson told the Expressen newspaper.
She added that response has been positive for the most part.
Having a decoration like this on the tree can get people to reflect on how good we have it here in Sweden and that there are people who have it much worse, said Martinsson.
It could be the topic of an interesting conversation over Christmas.
"Don't people know that these are used to light cigarettes?"
Why should anybody be surprised?
The mahometans have taken over, so the prevailing question is, "What would Mahomet do?"
Well, Mahomet would put hand-grenades in Christmas trees to blow up the Christians.
What's so shocking about that?
Maybe the people expressing shock should have a look at http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ and maybe they will get it.
Just islamic jihadis out having a good ole time.
But no problems with condoms on their Christmas trees....
Get a life, lady! It's traditional.
Peace on Earth...
through superior firepower.
I think they're kinda pretty, myself.
It looks a lot like a pine cone to me.
I kinda liked the ten tips to help you with moving to Sweden. Wonder if these idiots print them in Arabic and post them in Algeria, Morrocco,Tunisia, Libya and Egypt?
We should stick to ornaments made from crack pipes and condoms (Clinton reference).
I, for one, applaud the Museum's effort to make Christmas trees more palatable for Swedish Muslims.
Hey, at least we got her saying Christmas tree instead of "holiday tree". I'll take progress wherever we can get it.
Well, that's one way to "light up" your Christmas tree....
That's like asking a Ford dealership to hang pictures of Chevrolets on the wall.
I suppose brightly colored ammo bandolier garland and dangling icicle bayonets are out too? Pity...
How does it work?
delicious hand grenades
Pull the pin; count, "One, two, five...," and throw it at the Saracens.
A Møøse once bit my sister ...
Is it really hard to say, "Those are hand grenades. They are on the Christmas tree, because this is a military museum and the inclusion of an explosive device provides a witty statement on the duality of man."
Or the shorter version:
"Because its funny."
Thou shall count till Three...
That's the Willie Pete limited edition....

County awaits federal decision on disaster loans
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - Sullivan County is officially in a waiting game to see if the federal government will provide disaster assistance following last week's severe flooding.
We've learned a federal assessor finished his tour of Sullivan County and Kingsport flood damage Friday afternoon.
Sullivan County EMA Director, Jim Bean, told News 5 he is optimistic flood victims will be able to get low interest Small Business Administration disaster loans, but according to Bean, it could take another week or two to know if that the request is approved or denied.
News 5 WCYB will bring you more information as we learn it.
