Simple Suspension Solutions
Here's 18 Easy-to-Install Systems That Will Maximize Performance and Fun!
There's simply no debating that modern aftermarket suspension systems outperform vintage stock setups on all fronts. It only makes sense; with decades of testing, design, and data on hundreds of automotive platforms to derive from, engineers today have so much more information to build on. That's why any modern four-door commuter sedan will out-handle any stock muscle car. Sad, but true.
While OEM offerings have obviously evolved, so have the aftermarket offerings deigned to help bring our beloved vintage rides up to new car standards. Pulling from both the OEM consumer and even the professional racing worlds, the products and packages available in the aftermarket today have progressed to the point that it's not unthinkable to get old steel up to—and even beyond—modern muscle cars and sports cars without reinventing it from the ground up.
Some systems are more ambitious than others, it all depends on the level you are prepared to take your car to. Want to tear everything out and go full-on modern or race underneath the skin? Can do! Systems engineered with performance above preservation in mind are out there, but sometimes that's just not what a project or budget calls for. Sometimes it's the simplest solution that fits the need.
That same engineering development in the aftermarket that we referred to has increasingly been used to design suspension packages that drastically increase a car's capability while keeping the install as bolt-on as possible. Sometimes it's hard to discern the installation commitment level from the advertisements, so we rounded up 18 of our favorite suspension systems, but we kept it to only systems that don't require major cutting, modification, or fabrication, and either bolt directly in or only require a few alterations. Perhaps a hole or two will need to be drilled, maybe a bracket clearanced, and possibly even light duty welding. We even drew the line at keeping the stock subframe. The essence, though, is that they are all relatively simple solutions that aren't out of the wheelhouse of the average garage wrencher.
Since we are using modern performance cars as our standard, we also kept our roundup isolated to systems designed to improve the overall driving experience, not just a single parameter, such as straight-line acceleration. (We expect more than that from our projects!) While we pulled some of our favorite packages, all of these companies have many more products and systems available. See something that intrigues you?

Performance Torque Arm
Stretching the concept of a bolt-on, TCI's rear coilover conversion gets the job done with integrated subframe connectors. The Torque Arm features a telescoping slider at the front of the arm to prevent binding. This works with your original rearend, or it can be purchased with a prepped housing.

Polyurethane Bushings
While most of these kits will include new bushings for the suspension parts, their effectiveness will be greatly reduced if your car still has worn or stock rubber bushings on the subframe or body mounts. Upgrading to polyurethane bushings will not only eliminate the wallowing from old bushings or soft rubber, they will make your new parts function to the peak of their ability. They should be considered a prerequisite for any sort of bolt-on suspension. Quality performance poly bushings from companies like Energy Suspension and Prothane are an affordable and highly effective upgrade! And yes, they are available in black.

Neighbors of the proposed dialysis center at 10 E. Moreland Ave. who tried to restrict the center's weekly operating time by nine hours seem poised to lose all available remedies if a City Council bill changing the property's zoning is ratified.
City Council Bill 100753 was proposed by district Councilwoman Donna Reed Miller on Nov. 4 and recommended by the city's Zoning Commission last Tuesday, Nov. 16. The bill would change the property's zoning from industrial to C2 commercial. That zoning change would give Fresenius, the dialysis center operator, by-right permission to open.
William Neshiewat, Miller's director of legislation, said the bill was a an easy decision because it promoted a use that the councilwoman supports – a dialysis center that will serve a growing population in Northwest Philadelphia – and will restrict the current property's zoning in a way that should be beneficial to neighbors in the future.
"We're scaling the zoning back," Neshiewat said. "Under the current zoning, you could have a factory open 24-hours a day."
The industrial zoning designation did not allow for a medical office, which compelled Fresenius to request a zoning variance for the use earlier this year. The Chestnut Hill Community Association supported that variance, but neighbors opposed to the variance testified at the original Zoning Board of Adjustments hearing last summer.
The ZBA originally conceded to neighbors and granted Fresenius a variance to operate, but with a proviso prohibiting the facility from keeping its doors open past 6 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Later, Fresenius asked the ZBA to reconsider the restriction, and the ZBA reversed course – without a hearing – removing the proviso and prompting neighbors to file their appeal.
In July, Fresenius' attorney Carl Primavera explained Fresenius' request for reconsideration this way:
"Why would Fresenius spend a month with the community association and plan on a $2 million, state-of-the-art facility only to get handcuffed in this way? It's like saying you're going to build an emergency room that is only open from 9 to 5."
In August, neighbors of the proposed dialysis center filed an appeal in Philadelphia court to reverse the ZBA's reversal on the grounds that the ZBA did not have the right to change its mind without a hearing. Their appeal was supported by the Chestnut Hill Residents Association, which also hired an attorney, local lawyer Darlene Heep.
But Miller's bill would appear to make the appeal a moot point.
Ron Recko, a member of the CHRA, told the local that he's not impressed with Miller's reasoning behind the zoning bill.
"They bypassed the appeal," Recko said. "Fresenius figured they'd lose in court so they go to Donna Reed Miller."
Councilman at-large Frank Rizzo's chief of staff Stewart Graham – a Chestnut Hill resident – said he understands neighbors' frustrations but that he did not expect council to vote the bill down. He said Rizzo has not taken a position on it.
"There is such a thing as councilmanic courtesy," Graham said, referring to the unwritten rule that district councilpersons tend to call the shots on zoning in their districts. "After all, these same people wouldn't want to be crossed the next time they have a proposal for their districts."
The best bet for neighbors, he said, would be to try and change Miller's mind.
"They will have the chance to go to the hearing and be heard," Graham said.
Moreland Avenue resident Peter Burke, who filed the initial appeal on behalf of himself and other neighbors – more than 70 signed a petition to try and force the center to restrict its hours – was not optimistic about his chances to stop Fresenius from getting its way. He attended the Zoning Commission hearing on the bill last Tuesday and called it "rubber stamp city."
"This was a done deal," he said. "It's going to be a tough road to stop it now. When it goes before council, we will have a group of people down at that hearing to let them know we don't like it.
The bill is scheduled to be reviewed by council's Rules Committee at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 8.

In the "Gnotters" section Mog has suggested a grand day out to Kirklees and says maybe the Gnortherners or even the whole GnATTERbox would be welcome to join in.
As a Gnortherner I can't answer on the Gnotters bit but I'll pitch in as an interested party. I have a couple of exhibition bookings in September and October but most weekends are free. Could be a good family day out, I'll bring baby and Mrs Blackcloud too.
Any other Gnortherners interested should watch the Gnotters bit for further details. Mog and the Gnotters - watch this space for any other interested Gnortherners (I think Racing Hippo is racing around foreign parts at the moment, he said something on the wagon exchange programme about starting work when he returns).

Genipa Americana is common throughout tropical & subtropical regions of Central & South America. It flourishes both on well drained soils and on periodically flooded riverbanks.
The Genipa Americana tree stands tall at heights between 10�20 meters (30�65 feet). The trunk is approximately 40 � 80cm in diameter (15�30 inches). It is a deciduous tree with abundant foliage, the short-petioled leaves are more highly concentrated at the branch apex with an average size of 10-30cm (4 �12 inches). Its yellow or white flowers, about 4cm in diameter (1.5inches) are tubular in shape, with five petals, they appear in clusters at the base of the leaf. The fruit is a globose to ovoid shape, and varies in size and weight from 5-15cm in length by 4-10cm in diameter and from 150-400g in weight (that�s 2-6inches in length by 1.5-4 inches in diameter and from 5-14 ounces in weight). The pericarp is a white/yellowish colour and around 2.5cm thick (1 inch). The pulp contains the seeds protected by mucilaginous membranes. It is the juice from this pulp that contains the active colouring ingredient �Genepine�.
Varieties & Propagation
There are smaller �shrubby� forms of the Genipa Americana tree, which grow along the riverbanks in Brazil. These trees are said to produce fruit all year round, though inedible, the genipine colouring should still be present in the small and unripe fruits. The Genipa Americana tree is naturally propagated by seeds, through natural dispersion and germination; though it is thought that the reason this tree is so well dispersed is thanks to well planned dispersion by indigenous peoples many years ago because if the many valued uses of the Genipa Americana Tree.
The Key biochemicals of Genipa Americana are; Genipine, Manitol, Tannins, Tannic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Genopocidic acid, Caterine, Hydatoin, Manit, Caffeine, Calcium.

Is it okay to be gay? The recent spate of suicides among young gays said to have been bullied over their sexual identity has raised that simple question as never before. And a new nationwide survey from the University of Chicago suggests that public opinion on homosexual behavior is sharply divided.
Overall, 44 percent of those who participated in the survey said "sexual relations between two adults of the same sex" is "always wrong" - with 41 percent saying gay sex is "not wrong at all."
But there were big regional differences in attitudes about homosexuality. In which parts of the country are people most accepting of homosexuality? Where are people least accepting? Keep clicking to see how nine regions of the country stack up...
Credit: istockphoto
New England is more accepting of gays than any other region in the country - 27 percent of adults in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont say they think homosexual relations are "always wrong."
This rainbow flag is waved outside the Massachusetts State House during a 2004 debate about same-sex marriage, which the state allows.

The Pacific region is a bit less accepting of homosexuality than New England - 37.5 percent of adults in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington classify homosexual relations as "always wrong."
In this picture, a gay couple holds the state flag outside the California Supreme Court on May 15, 2008, after the Court overturned a ban on gay marriage.
In the Middle Atlantic - New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania - 39.3 percent of adults say homosexual relations are "always wrong."
One significant event in this region is the story of Tyler Clementi, an 18-year-old Rutgers University student who killed himself in 2010 after his gay encounters were broadcast over the Internet.
In the West North Central region - Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota - 43.8 percent of adults say homosexual relations are "always wrong."
In this photo, activists react to the Iowa Supreme Court's decision to legalize gay marriage in 2009.
In the East North Central region - Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin - 46.4 percent of adults say homosexual relations are "always wrong."
This picture shows a 2004 rally in Chicago.
Close to half - 47.2 percent - of adults in the Mountain states (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Montana, Utah, Nevada, and Wyoming) say homosexual relations are "always wrong."
This picture was taken in 2008 outside the Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City. Protesters marched against the Mormon church's stance against gay marriage.
In the South Atlantic - Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia - 54.8 percent of adults say homosexual relations are "always wrong."
This picture shows demonstrators marching in downtown Washington, D.C.
In the West South Central region - Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas - 68.1 percent of adults say homosexual relations are "always wrong."
This picture was taken during a 2005 protest in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Which region of the U.S. has the most negative attitude toward gays? East South Central - 73.7 percent of adults in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee consider homosexual relations "always wrong."

The Liars' Club
They may have lived much of their lives in bucolic White Hall, keeping history alive at Wyant's Store, but the men who make up the Liar's Club have stories to tell not only from their own corner of the world, but from the far-flung reaches of the globe.
Redistricting's future
With the Virginia State Senate narrowly passing a controversial redistricting bill that even Governor Bob McDonnell has frowned upon, it's now in the hands of the Republican controlled house. What will our local delegates do?
City character
Old time country charm meets city convenience in a Fifeville farmhouse, but is there space enough for a family?
Capitol offense?
When Virginia Republican state senators voted to radically redistrict state election lines on MLK Day, while African-American senator and civil rights activist Henry Marsh was in D.C. for President Obama's inauguration, jaws dropped across the nation. Waldo Jaquith was there, and his jaw's still slack.

This summer, the teens in Fort Morgan Library & Museum's 2014 Teen Summer Reading Program got chances to learn about some complex scientific concepts and, in most cases, put them in action.
Beyond experimenting with setting off lots of chemical reactions, they also found out how pendulums work, the theory behind cooking with solar parabolas, and some of the challenges and triumphs that can come from working with robotics.
For studying pendulums, they did an art project.
Merriam-Webster defines pendulum as "a body suspended from a fixed point so as to swing freely to and fro under the action of gravity and commonly used to regulate movements."
What the teens did was hang a bottle of tempera paint with an open tip on a string from the center of an easel. Below the bottle was a large sheet of paper.
The teens then applied pressure to the bottle to get it to swing back and forth, dropping paint as it swung, and creating designs on the paper.
They did this multiple times with different colors of paint, learning about how fast and long it would swing, depending on how much force was applied, and layering the drops and colors of paint to see how it would turn out.
For parabolas, the idea was to have a solar hot dog cook-out, but the weather and amount of available equipment (shoe boxes) were not in their favor on the day it was supposed to happen.
Instead, Teen Summer Reading Program Coordinator Nicole Meininger explained the concept of making solar-powered hot dog cookers.
After lining a U-shaped (parabolic) piece of cardboard with tin foil, the hot dog threaded spit-style and then hung parallel over the center of it. The reflective parabola underneath the hot dog acts as a focus point for all of the sunlight and sends it through the hot dog, heating it up. (For more on this experiment, check out http://education.com/science-fair/article/solar-hot-dog-cooker/" title="education.com">education.com/science-fair/article/solar-hot-dog-cooker/)
"I thought it would work out wonderfully because it has science and food," Meininger said of the solar hot dog cooker plan.
Alas, it was not meant to be, and they wound up cooking the hot dogs in the toaster oven in the Community Room's kitchenette.
But the teens seemed just fine with that; they still got to eat their hot dogs while watching "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2."
At a different session, they had some of both of those triumphs and challenges that science often brings.
First, they saw a presentation from the Brush High School Robotics Team and heard about the competitions in which the team has participated, as well as getting to see the team's robot in action in the Community Room.
After that, the teens got to check out a "Smart Robot" kit, which they soon found out was "not so smart," according to Children's Librarian Katie Holmburg. It just did not work the way they thought it was supposed to work, she said.
But that's all part of science and experimenting, they learned.

The silicone flesh cushion known as "Sitzfleisch" attempts to give people stuck in office chairs all day long a bit of a respite by mimicking the look and feel of real human flesh, delivering the utmost in comfort. Made out of a silicone polymer, the chair cushion promises to act as an extension of the human body, since, as the South American manufacturer Exsil claims, "healthy human soft tissue is nature's unequaled solution for utmost sitting comfort."
Exsil also says that the cushion may help people who suffer from aches and pains, since many of those ailments can be attributed to sitting on lackluster chairs for long periods of time. Who's going to argue about sitting on top of $80 slab of fake skin?
A fair warning for those looking to further investigate the comapny's Web site: there's quite a bit of nudity, but it's mostly the artsy kind.

Nice Shooting!!!!!
16" with SAW pistol grip, polished hammer/let-off FCG, Tapco Intrafuse fore grip, Tapco T6 collapsable stock and the TuffForce side mount scope mount. Converted and shoots quite well.
Recent target with Hodgdon Benchmark powder and Sierra GameKing 55 gr FMJ BT bullets:
And me holding the rifle and target from an earlier shoot at home when I was using some Hodgdon BLC-2 powder. Daughter took the pic.
Nice Shooting!!!!!
Gunco member #11
it is dangerous to be right in matters about which the established authorities are wrong Voltaire
very good shooting!!
it is tempting me to buy a couple more saiga's in 7.62x39 and 5.45x39!
they are more expensive than they once were but still the best bang for buck in shooting!!
What kind of group will one of these print at 300,400 yards?
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Well, j427x, If you ever reload, or the supply of 5.45 x 39 dries up, you may be left with a nice wall hanger. Without becoming part of a new thread, just check out the ballistic difference between the 5.56 x 45 and the 5.45 x 39, check around for re-loadable brass and re-loadable bullet. My Lyman manual doesn't even have one load for it, and neither does a website I go to for other reloading data that has some really obscure calibers.
railbuggy, that's a long ways, 300,400 yards. That's about 170.68 miles!! Might have to shoot down from the space station and depends on how fast I can pull the trigger and the rotational speed of the earth. Might be a group measured in miles.. LOL Just joking with you!!!
Seriously I haven't shot it out at 300 yards. I have shot it out at 200 yards at a plastic Folgers coffee container, the larger ones, and hit it 4 shots out of 4, and one nearly dead center of the can. I suppose it would do alright at 400 yards, but then you have a lot of bullet drop, and any wind will affect a 55 gr bullet at that distance a lot more than the 168 BT shot from a .308 Winchester caliber Saiga.

Although I have a few 5.45 rifles I have always really wanted a good stamped 5.56 AK. I have all the parts to put together a Bulgy AK102 but it's a bit of a Heinz 57 and I just haven't put it together yet. Seeing your results has me seriously considering a Saiga conversion again too!
You are also a lucky man to have your daughter go with you when you shoot. As my daughter got older shooting went way down on her funlist.

Nice shooting & conversion.
I like the looks of the scope mount. What's your thoughts on it?
And what mags are you using?
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Nice grouping indeed - I had similar luck with mine (but with a lower power scope)
I wouldn't worry about 5.45x39 ammo going away. Hornady has been quoted as working on some loads since S&W is now making an AR uppper in that caliber. YEP - US factory ammo coming "soon"!
Even if 5.45 ammo completely dries up and Hornady doesn't deliver, you can rebarrel it to .223. Add new followers and call it a day.

The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
Well, Grendeljaeger, if you see the white fence in the picture and go to the right about 12 feet you'd see my house, but of course, it's not in this picture. My range is "at home" I have a 'Home on the Range' in a funny sort of way, or other way, I have a range "at home". I'm afraid she's still interested in internet, computers, and guys at the time, along with her drawing.
Coils, Thanks for the compliment!
I like the side mount scope mount very well. 2 allen head screws hold it in place and I can take the cover off, without removing the scope. Enough clearance. Also has many spots on the rail to mount the scope making it very customizable. Plus, it has rail on the side as well. Very sturdy, aircraft aluminum making it ridgid and light. From TufForce Home The magazine I think most of is the Sure Fire. Very tough built and strudy. The pro Mag is cheaper and ....is cheaper. The bullet guide is not beefy enough, and looks to break off easily.
I'd love to get rid of the raised area on the bolt face (put there by Saiga for Russian government control) and not have that. It would change the specs on headspace, and I think I can overcome it with just removing the barrel pin and pushing the barrel back a bit, then re-doing a new barrel pin hole with oversize pin.
Any thoughts or suggestion to this?

Project Leader, Athens
At BCG, Seekers go deep into the challenging issues our clients face. Their curiosity empowers our teams to facilitate change and add value to society. Thalia seeks a new perspective.
I am learning at BCG that the greatest skill is not to know. It is to remain undeterred, committed, and enthusiastic in the face of the new and unknown.
Coming from a background of international affairs and policy research, BCG has been an unexpectedly fulfilling career change for me.
What makes me proud to be part of BCG is that, despite the valuable tools at our disposal and the extensive reservoir of BCG knowledge and experience, we are challenged to explore new frontiers for every client. This almost entrepreneurial mind-set pushes us to expand our own thinking and ensures that our work offers the maximum value to the client.
What makes me happy to be part of BCG is the BCG family. No matter how intense the work or time pressure, fellow BCGers care about you—and you can feel it. There is always someone available to wholeheartedly listen, share, help, coach, offer insight, celebrate the wins with, and keep you on top of your game. This is no coincidence; it is only a demonstration of BCG's emphasis on and respect of its people.
Thalia holds a master of international relations from Columbia University and an MBA from INSEAD. Prior to joining BCG, Thalia held different research and management positions in the public sector and cofounded three start-ups in the retail and education sectors.
Q: What inspires you about BCG?
A: What inspires me about BCG is the opportunity the firm gives us to really make a difference. Clients' questions are more often than not rather complex and touch upon uncharted waters. Easy solutions do not apply. And the appropriateness, ambition, effectiveness, "implementability," and sustainability of our recommendations result in a lot more than just shareholder value. This opportunity to really make a difference in people's work, lives, and sense of fulfillment is what makes our work truly meaningful.
Q: What was one of your favorite case experiences?
A: One of my favorite case experiences was a social impact project for a foundation that was struggling to balance the increased demands of local society with its shrinking income, both a result of the financial crisis. The recommendations were very unconventional, as they often are, and the client, through remarkable determination, managed to fully transform the foundation, ensure its financial sustainability and, more important, the sustainability and relevance of its societal mission. Realizing the impact our work would have on ordinary lives of people in dire need gave a whole different meaning to value-adding.
Q: Why is BCG a good place for a woman to work?
A: What makes BCG a good place for a woman to work is the fact that gender is not what defines a BCGer in any way.
What makes BCG family-friendly is the fact that, especially after a certain point in a BCG career, one is better able to influence one's work schedule and location. As long as a parent, woman or man, is able to live up to her or his role, flexibility is a given at BCG and makes the combination of family and promising professional prospects possible.

China says the civilian H425 helicopter it has developed through independent domestic research has been certified for use by its Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense.
The H425 has met all its program requirements and, Chinese officials claim, has even surpassed the quality of some similar models in the global market. The helicopter's top speed is reported to be 151 kt (280km/hr). It is said to be designed to perform rescue missions at more than 9,800 ft (3000 m) msl. In late 2006, Turbomeca and China Aviation Industry Corp. 2 agreed to collaborate on production of Arriel 2 turboshaft engines for the H425.

The patient had widely metastatic cancer and, as I turned to walk away I found myself thinking about the courage it takes to actually comply with previously discussed wishes when death arrives. This gentleman made the right decision to let her go. One day I will have to do this for one of my family members or one of them will have to do it for me. I pray for the same kind of courage when the time comes.

My mom told me yesterday that her biggest fear is that my dad will die in his sleep.ReplyDelete
My biggest fear is that he won't.

Very touching. Thanks for sharing, doc.ReplyDelete

Agree. An example of true courage in BOTH the wife and husband - I assume that they decided on this course together.ReplyDelete
Does this imply that "do everything you can" is a form of cowardice? Probably.
"do everything you can" is most definitely a form of cowardice...and especially selfishness. If it's mom's time to go, and mom wants to go (or made it clear that when this time came, she would want to go), then to direct the physicians to do otherwise is fear...fear of your loss, fear of being 'blamed' or of blaming yourself, and most of all, a decision not to honor HER wishes, but to honor YOURSReplyDelete
The idea of loving someone so much that you're willing to let them go is a noble and selfless act. May we all have that kind of strength.ReplyDelete
two things...ReplyDelete
hibgia, agree, but would certainly not think is was cowardice to 'do everything' for trauma patients and the like... folks we have a chance to get out of the hospital with a decent life.
lynn, always enjoy it when you visit. agree.
We live in such a death-averse culture. Death is seen as a failure and as wrong. The meaning of life, though, is that it stops. There comes a time to quit. Doing so with dignity is the difficult part.ReplyDelete
911 doc:ReplyDelete
When it came time for me, in a similar circumstance---in my thoughts, I chickened out and wanted a full Code, even though it was my against father's last wish. However, his DNR wish was carried out by my brave mother. But I must admit that if the choice had been mine to make---I would have gone against his wish. And I admit that this sounds terrible and selfish. I had become irrational at that moment....
agree about the trauma scenario...that's a different thing altogether. And I don't mean to offend when calling the decision "cowardly"...I mean that more as a description of the emotion (fear, as well as love) than of the person having the emotionReplyDelete
911 doc, you have a thing or two to be proud of and I'd like to point one or two of those things out if you don't mind.ReplyDelete
When my mother was close to death, she gathered her children and her grandchildren in a hospital room and asked if it was "alright" for her to die. It was the most difficult question I had ever been asked, and the most difficult answer I have ever given. With tears in our eyes, our answer was obvious. "Yes Mom, it's okay. We'll miss you but it's okay to let go." She asked us to take her home to die.
Dr. 911, here is where you come in. Unlike my mother's doctor, who was unsure that it was the proper thing to do, you allowed this couple to end the time they had together with love, respect, and dignity. I had to fight for 4 hours with my mother's doctor before he conceeded and allowed her to come home with us so she could be with her family as she wanted to do.
You, and maybe others may be wondering if my mother still had a "hope" for a normal and productive life. She did not. She had end stage CHF. Her blood pressure was being maintained by dopamine (which infiltrated and we refused to have re-started), and the doctor wanted to put her on a ventilator to regulate her breathing. She said no.
After a long battle, our mother come home with us. She died as she lived, with her family at her side.
Perhaps doctors think they have failed when their patients die. If they have run the full course, and done the best they could have done for their patient; life eventually comes full circle and death, although we may not like it, is inevitable.
The man in your post who made the "right" decision to allow his wife to finally find peace is no more noble than the doctor who allowed this man to give his wife peace.
dear M.O.W.,ReplyDelete
thank you for your kind comments. i really do appreciate them.
some doctors are still uncomfortable about giving advice or making prognostications in end-of-life situations. i believe that we abdicate our professional responsibility by NOT offering our opinions to patient's and families, and even well-considered advice.
many physicians were trained to "present all the information" and then to stand back and let the family and patient decide what to do. this would be the equivalent of me being stranded on a beach in the deep pacific and having a few minutes to talk with an expert sailor about how to navigate by the stars and how to make a seaworthy craft only to have him say, after these few minutes, "okay, it's up to you now." uh, thanks for nothing, i didn't understand a single word you said and now i'm freaking out.
thankfully, i do not believe that the younger generation of doctors, in general, is as uncomfortable in admitting the futility of some of the care we can give as the older generation. on the rare occasion when someone asks me what i would do if i were in there shoes i answer them as follows... "if (the patient) were my mother or father (etc...) i would choose 'X'." then, whatever decision they make, i reassure them that it was the right one and i do as they wish.
I am so glad I got to be with my uncle when he was home with hospice care during his last days battling cancer.ReplyDelete
It was surreal in a way because amidst the dying process, there was still laughter and life moving forward yet, so very sad at the same time.
I almost didn't make it up to see him as I had been ill earlier that day but by evening was feeling better and so was able to make the 4 hour trip. I was able to spend a couple of hours with him that night and even though he was hardly able to communicate he did manage to say something humorous and share some deathbed wisdom that I shall never forget. The next day he was not able to communicate, spiked a temp over 104 and I believe they said he was septic.
It must be so difficult as a family member to make these decisions even when you know you are honoring their wishes. Although I have a friend who's mother died a painful death from bone cancer. She said her mother begged her to kill her and she said if she could have run her over with a car she would have felt it was a merciful thing to do.
I dread ever having to decide those things.
I thought if a patient has a DNR that it is the law that it has to be carried out?
glad you got to be with your uncle before he died.
good point about 'DNR' orders. certainly we honor them but, as many folks are unaware, "DNR" does not mean "Do Not Treat".
first of all and for a variety of reasons many patient's do not have a "DNR". Secondly, many who do, DO in fact, desire treatment up to a point. For instance, if an end-stage cancer patient comes in with pneumonia, that particular problem may or may not be something that can be temporarily cured with a short course of antibiotics. Then the question for the patient and family gets a bit complicated.
Also, as has already been mentioned, the DNR can be rescinded at any time pretty much by anyone in the room that has any connection to the family. Legally, this is probably not true, but when I am in a rescucitation and any family member says "do everything" i do not have time to argue with them and i do not have time to figure out whether they have the legal right to do it. if they are related by marriage or genes, or even as the patient's 'power of attorney' then i, in fact, will "do everything" as i would rather defend a "wrongful life" suit in court that a wrongful death one.
Thank you. I didn't know this and I worked in ED registration for 20 years and was right in the middle of it. I never heard staff say this. I just assumed since a DNR was do not resuscitate that they wouldn't. I guess that's where the advanced directives come in to play. I used to hand them out and explain them to the inquiring patients and yet I don't have them and neither does my elderly mother. I should approach her with the papers but that is so awkward. I do know better, but...ReplyDelete
I can appreciate why you handle it the way you do.

Keegan O'Brien of Worcester, Mass., leads chants as members of the LGBT community protest the Defense of Marriage Act outside a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Boston on June 23, 2009. A battle over the federal law appears headed for the Supreme Court after an appeals court ruled on May 31, 2012, that denying benefits to married gay couples is unconstitutional.
When Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told a group of students that the Supreme Court would probably hear challenges during its upcoming term to the Defense of Marriage Act, which bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages, she confirmed what many observers were already thinking: The nation's high court is poised to weigh in on the battle over same-sex marriage.
While answering questions from students at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Ginsburg was asked Wednesday about the equal protection clause and if the court might consider applying it to sexual orientation, an argument used in challenges to DOMA, the 1996 federal law that denies various benefits to same-sex couples.
Though she said she couldn't discuss matters that would come to the court, she also said, according to The Associated Press: "I think it's most likely that we will have that issue before the court toward the end of the current term."
The justices have been asked to hear five different challenges to DOMA that have been decided in lower courts, said Brian Moulton, legal director of Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights.
But just one of those, Windsor v. U.S. out of New York state, is listed for the court's conference on Sept. 24, when they will have a first look at a range of cases seeking to be heard by the justices this year. They may hold that case until they have all of the DOMA challenges in front of them to consider, but Ginsburg's comments reinforced what they were hoping for, Moulton told NBC News.
"I think it's quite likely the court will … take one or more of the DOMA cases," Moulton said. "Beyond that, I think we're all just kind of waiting to see what that's going to look like and when that might happen."
Michael Klarman, a Harvard Law School professor who clerked for Ginsburg nearly 30 years ago when she was a DC Circuit judge, said he assumed that the Supreme Court was likely to take the case, so her comments make "it seem that much more probable."

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg participates in a panel discussion, on Aug. 3, during the American Bar Association's annual meeting in Chicago.
" … with a bunch of lower court decisions and this being a pretty important issue, I think most people expected that they would grant review. She didn't say they have granted review and obviously she is not supposed to say anything until it's public, but she also has inside knowledge. So, I would say this just increases the likelihood that they'll review the DOMA case," said Klarman, author of "From the Closet to the Altar: Courts, Backlash, and the Struggle for Same-Sex Marriage."
Appeals court: Denying federal benefits to same-sex couples is unconstitutional
Despite marriage progress, gay couples face big hurdles to parenthood
Conservatives target Republicans who back gay marriage
Same-sex couple fights to stop deportation, gay marriage ban
Obama: 'I think same-sex couples should be able to get married'
Prop 8 backers ask Supreme Court to review gay marriage ban
Klarman said opposing sides on the bench, such as liberal justices who support same-sex marriage and conservatives who opposed federal intervention into states' rights, potentially could come together on the issue.
"I think it's actually a pretty easy case for them to some extent that's reflected in the lower court decisions, where even judges who were appointed by Republican presidents have signed on to invalidating the statute," he said. "So that's probably a factor in granting review as well … if a bunch of the justices think this is a fairly easy constitutional issue to resolve, it might make them more inclined to grant review."
He noted, however, that the court could issue a narrow ruling that kicks the issue back to the states or a broad one that would have big implications for state laws and constitutional amendments.
Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriage, said he was confident his side would win the court argument.
"It's so far out to claim that somehow the states can force the federal government to redefine marriage. That's so far out legally, I don't see the Supreme Court siding with these decisions of lower courts," he said.
DOMA was passed in 1996, when it appeared Hawaii would legalize same-sex marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved it, led by Massachusetts in 2004, and followed by Connecticut, New York, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Washington state plus the District of Columbia.
The Maryland and Washington laws are not yet in effect and are subject to referendums in the November ballot. Maine is also holding a vote on whether to allow same-sex marriage, while voters in Minnesota will decide whether to add a same-sex marriage ban to their state constitution.

Simple Pleasures
This story appears in the September 2002 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
What: Home parties selling
gourmet food
Who: Jill Blashack of Tastefully Simple
Where: Alexandria, Minnesota
When: Started in 1995
Want to know how Jill Blashack converted her gift basket business into a $100 million enterprise? She got rid of the gift baskets.
After realizing that the products inside her gift baskets were what really interested customers, Blashack, 43, decided to transform her existing business into a home party opportunity that specializes in gourmet food.
The idea sparked after Blashack participated in the Holiday Crafters Tour, a local event that opened the doors of fancy homes to artisans and entrepreneurs wanting to show off their wares. As soon as Blashack gave the attendees taste tests, orders for her products started pouring in.
An SBA LowDoc loan and a personal investment helped Blashack finance Tastefully Simple, which features a menu with everything from sauces and popcorn to beer bread and dips, most priced around $6.99. Many customers have become consultants for the company. Hoping to expand her roster of consultants to 10,000 nationwide by year-end, Blashack says, "The best people we find are the ones who have [experienced] a party and said 'Wow, this is cool. I could do this.' "
On the Right Track
What: Brokering deals
between race cars and sponsor companies
Who: Cragg Eubanks of RaceSport Ltd.
Where: Wichita Falls, Texas
When: Started in 2001
Cragg Eubanks, a 47-year-old amateur sports car aficionado, uses his expertise to broker business deals and his contacts in the professional racing industry to find corporate marketing partners for race teams nationwide. "Everybody realizes that the whole marketing venue in sports is changing and that we have to come up with methods to better manage these programs," says Eubanks. "We have to come up with business plans to show these corporations what they're going to get out of it if they invest these marketing dollars in professional motor sports teams."
He first came up with the idea for his business after realizing that the hundreds of millions of dollars spent every year on team sponsorships yielded few quantifiable results for the companies that choose to invest their marketing dollars. So he decided to change the way sponsorships were approached.
Today, his company brokers deals that generate revenues and value for everyone involved. For example, RaceSport brokered a licensing deal between Lampus Racing (a major race team) and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), whose logos will be placed on Lampus race cars. In exchange, RaceSport is seeking corporate sponsors in the non-alcoholic beverage industry for MADD, which plans to implement a multimedia-based youth education and awareness program at the race track. Having closed one deal and with another in the works, Eubanks is on his way to reaching sales projections of $400,000 by the end of the year.
Tech Tutors
What: Computer training for
Who: Sarah Chapman and Devin Williams of Spry Learning Co.
Where: Portland, Oregon
When: Started in 2000
with the belief that technology best aids those whose mobility is limited, and with dreams of starting a business that would bring modern innovation into the lives of older people, Sarah Chapman and Devin Williams, both 31, set out to teach seniors about technology.
Although neither had teaching experience, they worked with gerontologists and instructional designers to put together the curriculum for their courses. Chapman and Williams launched a pilot program at two retirement communities and also took into account helpful feedback from their pupils about the quality of instruction on basic computer skills and on using the Internet and more advanced programs.
Currently offering services only at retirement communities, Spry Learning Co. will soon offer tutorials and training manuals to enable seniors to learn from home. "The whole point is to [make it] a positive experience [as well as] something that brings good into their lives," says Williams, who expects sales to reach $4.2 million this year.
In the (Doggie) Bag
What: Candy and mints for
Who: Sarah Speare and Lesley Lutyens of Chomp Inc.
Where: Lebanon, New Jersey
When: Started in 1999
When these two sisters decided to go into business together, they knew they wanted to combine their creative skills with their love for dogs. Sarah Speare, a graphic designer, and Lesley Lutyens, a children's clothing designer, finally got the push they needed when they won prize money from a business plan competition sponsored by the Center for Women in Enterprise in Boston and received a loan from their mother.
After raising an additional $2.1 million in capital, they brought in experienced managers and a team of food technologists that eventually created their innovative canine treats: Yip Yaps (bone-shaped mints for eliminating doggy breath) and Sniffers (M&M-like candies made of beef and cheese). The two products hit store shelves in 2001, quickly ringing up sales of $370,000 in just six months. Projections for 2002 are at $2 million.
"Our goal from the get-go [was] to make [these products] as available as human candy," says Lutyens, 39. These days, the line of dog treats is sold in Bed Bath & Beyond, Petco, grocery stores, and in vending machines along with candy for humans. Lutyens and Speare plan to release their next product, Pitter Pats--breath mints for cats--in 2003.
The sisters believed that they could build a successful company with a repeat-purchase product such as food, and it turns out they were right on the money. "They're fantastic products that dogs can't get enough of," says Speare, 45. In fact, the treats are so popular with their canine customers, they've even received chewed-up Yip Yaps tins as testimonials.

I've been on a month-long yoga journey with the amazing Adriene Mishler of Yoga With Adriene. I've practiced EVERY NIGHT. This is kind of a big deal because I'm famous for starting things and not finishing them. There are three practices left in the sequence (I started a day late.) I'm telling you this because the nightly yoga, while amazing for my soul, posture, and core, is not conducive to blog posting. I've been reading, though, so I'm (as usual) a bit behind on reviews. Here are some five-sentence reviews to clear the decks. All of these were four-star reads. In fact, in January I've had ALL four-star reads. Still waiting for the first five-star of 2019!
Dear Mrs. Bird by A.J. Pearce. A charming historical fiction novel set in London during World War II. Emmy Lake is an irresistibly plucky heroine. She takes a job that she thinks is going to be a junior reporter for a newspaper but turns out to be a typist for an advice columnist at a floundering women's magazine. Mrs. Bird, the advice columnist, is prudish and severe, so Emmy decides to secretly help the young women who need friendly advice in a scary time. This was an enjoyable yet moving look at lives in England during the Blitz.
After a big raid it was always sad to see flattened buildings and burnt-out churches which had stood for hundreds of years, but there was something rather triumphant about the monuments and statues, even the parks and big department stores that were still there, getting on with things. The Luftwaffe may have been trying to blast us to pieces, but everyone just kept getting back up.
Almost Everything: Notes on Hope by Anne Lamott. I love Anne Lamott. I listened to the audiobook, read by the author, and it was wonderful. If you've never read her before, she's like a kindly, slightly kooky neighbor or aunt who tells you hard truths about life but also gives you M&Ms and hugs. She is consistently hopeful yet aware of the pain of the world and unfairness of life. Reading her makes me feel better, stronger, less crazy, and this was one of her better recent books.
It's okay to stop hitting the snooze button and to wake up and pay attention to what makes you feel okay about yourself, one meal at a time. Unfortunately, it's yet another inside job. If you are not okay with yourself at 185 pounds, you may not be okay at 150, or even 135. The self-respect and peace of mind you long for is not in your weight. It's within you. I resent that more than I can say. But it's true. Finding a way to have a relatively healthy and safe relationship with food is hard, and it involves being one's very own dearest person. This will not cause chaos or death, as you were surely taught, but rather an environment where you can drown out the many mean and mistaken voices.
A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole (Reluctant Royals #1.) A fun, smart, sexy page-turner. This contemporary romance features a guarded, independent STEM-based grad student heroine, Naledi, and an actual prince from the fictional African country of Thesolo, Thabiso, who comes to New York to track down his long-lost betrothed. A case of mistaken identity brings to two together, where they experience undeniable chemistry. The storyline was so well-crafted I kind of skimmed over the sexy parts, to be honest. These characters were fully realized and incredibly likeable; I can't wait to read more of this series (the next focuses on Naledi's best friend Portia.)
"Um," she said. Her general reaction to men she met in her daily life was indifference or tolerance, at best, but something about this man sent her thoughts spinning far, far away from lab work or serving or studying. The only data she was currently interested in collecting was the exact tensile pressure of his beard against her inner thigh, and the shift in mass of his body on top of hers.
Have you read any of these? Have you had a five-star read yet in 2019?

Three hours of So You Think You Can Dance audition goodness this week. Wednesday night we got to see what Salt Lake City and New York had to offer, each giving us some good and some not-so-good. And Thursday night brought us the final auditions show, from the mythological Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. And the ol' Orphic Mysteries were in full effect, because LA was a panoply of dance magic this season.
And…cue music!

Comet Lulin will over the next couple of nights be visible to the naked eye as it approaches to within 38m miles of Earth, although sky gazers shouldn't expect to see more than a "fuzzball".
NASA's Swift Gamma-ray Explorer satellite has been keeping an eye on the object, discovered in 2007 by Ye Quanzhi and Lin Chi-Sheng from Taiwan's Lulin Observatory, as it creeps across the heavens. Here's the comet passing through the constellation Libra - a composite image of Swift data and a Digital Sky Survey image of the star field background:
Lulin is unusual in that it orbits the Sun in a clockwise direction - as opposed to the anti-clockwise path followed by all the solar system's planets and most other bodies. As it prepares for its closest encounter with the Sun, it's sheddding "nearly 800 gallons of water each second" - or enough to "fill an Olympic-size swimming pool in less than 15 minutes", as NASA correctly quantifies it.
This revelation came from Swift's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) which "can't see water directly" but is able to pick up hydroxyl (OH) molecules which, along with hydrogen atoms, are produced by the Sun's ultraviolet action on the water. In Lulin's case, the satellite detected a hydroxyl cloud "spanning nearly 250,000 miles, or slightly greater than the distance between Earth and the moon".
For those of you hoping to cop an eyeful of Lulin, the Telegraph explains that "for most locations in the Northern Hemisphere, Lulin will be easiest to spot after midnight, when it is high in the sky".
However, Joe Rao, of SPACE.com told the paper: "For those not-so-seasoned folks, I would advise them not to expect anything awe-inspiring. Visually to the naked eye in a dark sky, Lulin looks like a dim, fuzzy 'star' and in a small telescope it appears like a fuzzball... somewhat brighter and more concentrated near the centre and more diffuse around the edges. As comets go, it's nice, but casual skywatchers are more likely to say, 'That's it?' as opposed to more experienced observers who might actually utter, 'Oh, wow'."
There's more on the Swift observations of Lulin, including additional data from its X-Ray Telescope here. ®
