hello, I'm new from tn and need some advice
I just wanted to take a minute to say hello. I actually have one child in public and one child about to start school. We also have two other children, a three year old and a six week old. My husband and I are at odds as to whether or not to homeschool. I want to start homeschooling for many reasons, and my husband thinks it is a bad idea, primarily for the lack of socialization he thinks they will have. If we do homeschool, I plan on homeschooling the older two right now (ages 6 and 5) and within the next few years, start my three year old in on it. Does anyone have any advice for me as to which way we should go and if we do homeschool, where do I start? Please help!!!
Homeschool your children - the socialization argument is...
I suggest reading the threads in the Homeschool vs Public School forum, as these cover all the various arguments pro and con fairly exhaustively. Bottom line, though, public school is an artificial environment that you can't control, with insufficient adult supervision, and there's no way to tell whether any socialization your children get there would be a plus or a minus. The academics certainly won't be as good as what you can supply at home. It's much better to homeschool and supply your children with controlled socialization through homeschool support group events, contests, sports, extracurriculars, and so on - and if you want, the sports and extracurriculars can even be done through the local school, if they allow it. Homeschooling does not prevent socialization, it just makes sure that socialization isn't harmful to your children.
EDIT: This thread moved to the Getting Started forum, as it seems more applicable.

thank you
hello again. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to reply to my concerns. You really set my mind at ease, hopefully, this will help convince my husband or at the very least, open his mind a bit more.
Socialization or socialism
There is a wonderful article in the new "The Old Schoolhouse" magazine that talks about socialization. It basically says that as homeschoolers, we can help our children to become free thinkers, instead of them learning in the public schools how to think like everyone else. My take on socialization is that I can prepare my children for what they will encounter in the world, instead of them having to learn it the hard way and often painful way.
Phi 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Compassion or hypocrisy?
OK, I can't stand it another minute. I simply have to point out what should be obvious, but sadly, will be overlooked by many. The situation in Syria is tragic -- the killing of innocent children is deplorable and unacceptable. However, what I must point out is the unbelievable hypocrisy of our president and others in our country who believe we have the right to send missiles into Syria to supposedly "protect innocent children who are dying on cold hospital floors" and "protect moral ideals" when each and every year -- for more than 40 years -- we have allowed well over a million babies to be slaughtered in a just as cruel, just as violent, just as morally wrong fashion through abortion. The irony is absolutely sickening.
In his recent address to the nation, President Barack Obama talked about the 1,000 innocent children who were killed in Syria and the horrible images of their dead bodies, and how we cannot tolerate the use of chemical weapons against innocent people. Where in the heck is his outrage for our own dead children?
He is not so ignorant as to be unaware that deadly chemicals are used to kill U.S. babies in the womb, so where was his great sympathy when pictures from abortionist Kermit Gosnell were released -- pictures of body parts in bags and jars? Where was his outrage at the pictures that surfaced of countless chubby, otherwise healthy and nearly full-term babies with severed spinal cords -- many of whom were killed after they were born? Our president and most of the media were dead silent. I want to know why Obama and his crew fight so hard (and with your tax dollars) to give mothers the right to kill their own children by way of acid, slicing their bodies apart or lethal injection to the heart here in the U.S. and other countries, yet suddenly they are so very distressed about children in Syria? What a bunch of hypocrites.
What a bunch of hypocrites -- every single American is who supports abortion, but wants the U.S. to use missiles against another country for doing an act just as heinous.
I do not profess to know exactly how to handle Syria. I do, however, agree with the pope's request that prayers rather than bombs be sent to Syria.
Please, people, wake up. Open your eyes to see the truth. Open your mind and heart to genuine love and sacrifice. Think for yourself. Do some checking. Get a computer and do a search of the names, "Gosnell" and "Leroy Carhart" and see what you find. Do a search for the undercover video of an abortion clinic in Albuquerque, N.M., (still open) whose doctors and nurses instruct women in the process of an abortion to go to their hotel room, sit on the toilet when they feel something happening, and "don't look into the toilet, just use your cellphone to call us and we'll come clean things up." Look it up. I challenge you.
For those who are not computer-savvy, ask someone to help you. The evidence is out there if you really want to know the truth. For those who are so sure that abortion is acceptable, or sometimes a "necessary evil" as I have often heard many call it, then watch my Youtube video, "How Dark the Night." If you can't even look at these pictures, then it shouldn't be happening. Period.
Until Americans quit burying their heads in the sand about what abortion really entails and what is really happening to our children, this greatest atrocity in the history of man will continue, and our country will never feel the complete blessing and protection of our Creator. In the meantime, Mr. Obama, and all those who refuse to lift a finger to stop the massacre of the most innocent in our own country, please, just stop the pretense of caring about the welfare of children in other countries, because I'm not buying it and neither are the other countries.
Last time I checked, allowing babies to be aborted into a hotel-room toilet is not very loving or caring, yet perfectly legal in this country, so just cut the baloney. Admit you have a different agenda. And if I am wrong, then by all means, prove it by putting your great compassion to work to stop the slaughter of the children here in the United States. Perhaps then our country would have some real credibility as a moral example.
"You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said: This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." Matthew 15: 7-8

Hello there Parkies! The show has moved to Mondays 1-2pm for the winter. No time for a 2 hour show as I'm going to be very busy with the station's Major Subscriber Drive for the next few months. This season's show will not only be shorter, it will be sweeter and I'm thinking of bringing in a guest now and again to give us a list of their favourites. So that should be interesting! I've also given the blog a new look…. hope you like it.
This week's playlist is dedicated to all our Mums because Mothers' Day is next Sunday. Our opening song, MOTORVATIN' MAMA was from Rolling Stone bassist Bill Wyman and his Rhythm Kings, and it set the tone for a pretty upbeat hour.
Having said that, the 1,000 Maniacs have a beautifully lyrical song that also suits the theme. Lead singer Natalie Merchant, knows what its like to EAT FOR TWO. She has a unique voice and she's also a brilliant songwriter having written the majority of the Maniacs songs. She's now out on her own and getting even better. Here she is, back then with the Maniacs:
The great soul singer O.V. Wright feels like a MOTHERLESS CHILD but its OK because Etta James is there with an offer that he can't refuse: TELL MAMA. And Ben Harper taps into the zeitgeist on MAMA'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND NOW.
An oldie, but definitely a goodie is The Shirelles' MAMA SAID THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THIS. Take a look at this excellent award winning short film, using the song and recreating the group. A fantastic example of how a seemingly innocent song can be used to make political comment. The film, Mama Said, was directed by Mike Costanza and stars Lyn McDonald, Karen Hawkins, Lorinda Hawkins and Crystal Justine as The Shirelles. It was shown at both Cannes and Sundance Film Festivals:
Blues legend Magic Sam is having problems with his girlfriend so he's got no other option than to plead with her mother on MAMA TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER.
It was time to crank things up a bit and who better to do that than Lenny Kravitz and Slash with a great version of ALWAYS ON THE RUN. Sex on a stick, girls, sex on a stick.
Calm down, calm down. We had to have a song about Mother Earth, surely. Neko Case's alternative country track NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON MOTHER EARTH is a beauty. It's from her Middle Cyclone album, released in 2009
When I first started doing Theme Park three years ago, I didn't think I'd ever play any rap music, but the great thing about putting together a playlist like this each week is that you need to listen to lots of different music, and I've come to appreciate all genres, even rap! Especially when it's as good as our next song. ALL I'VE GOT IS YOU is a reverent homage to all the mums in the world from Ghostface Killah and Mary J. Blige. Check this out and see if you're converted too:
Of course, the Blues is where it all started and Howlin' Wolf's MY COUNTRY SUGAR MAMA is a classic in this genre. We followed with an artist who has been somewhat overlooked – Ruth Brown with MAMA, HE TREATS YOUR DAUGHTER MEAN. A wonderful performer. Take a look at those facial expressions!
The Rolling Stones ask: Have you seen your mother, baby, STANDING IN THE SHADOWS? Here's some concert footage 1966. The Stones were touring with Ike and Tina Turner and The Yardbirds. Wow. What I wouldn't have done for a ticket to one of those concerts!
Now if you've ever listened to Theme Park at my old time slot of Tuesday afternoons, you will know that I'm a huge fan of the Big 'O'. So I had to include a Roy Orbison track in my first show of the season. It's one you don't hear very often – MOTHER.
And just in case you've got the impression that I'm permanently trapped in a 60's and 70's time warp, Decemberists fans will be happy that I played MY MOTHER WAS A CHINESE TRAPEZE ARTIST. That one was sent out to Alex who listens on the Internet from Sydney. You can do that too, you know. Just go to bayfm.org, press the listen button and the audio should then open in your media player (iTunes or whatever).
Wow, the hour whizzed past. Before I knew it I was playing our final song, a guilty pleasure for sure: Abba with DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW? Get you're dancin' shoes on people!
For next week's show I've been inspired by all this talk of Royalty to put together a list of songs from ARTISTS WITH ROYAL NAMES. Think Prince, Queen, Duke Ellington, Queens of the Stone Age,….. you get my drift. If you have a request leave me a message here. I'd love to hear from you.
Happy Mothers Day to all you Mums for next Sunday!
Here's this week's full playlist:
Motorvatin' Mama – Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings
Eat For Two – 10,000 Maniacs
Motherless Child – O.V. Wright
Tell Mama – Etta James
Mama's Got a Girlfriend Now – Ben Harper and Tom Freund
Happy Mothers Day ( jingle)
Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This – Shirelles
Mama Talk To Your Daughter – Magic Sam
Always On The Run – Lenny Kravitz
Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth – Neko Case
All That I Got Is You – Ghostface Killah
My Country Sugar Mama – Howlin' Wolf
(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean – Ruth Brown
Standing in the Shadows – Rolling Stones
Mother – Roy Orbison
My Mother Was A Chinese Trapeze Artist – The Decemberists
Does Your Mother Know – ABBA

Occupational therapy is a vital health care service that uses "occupation," meaning purposeful activity, as the basis for treatment of people with a wide variety of physical, developmental, and emotional disabilities.
Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help disabled people of all ages acquire or regain the skills they need to live independent, productive, and satisfying lives. They work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, public and private schools, and home health agencies.
Occupational therapy assistants work under the guidance of occupational therapists. They may choose or construct equipment that help people to function more independently; they may carry out treatment activities for individuals or groups of patients; and they work closely with families of patients who are preparing to return home.
To become an occupational therapy assistant, you must complete an educational program. The majority of these are two-year associate degree programs like the one at Shawnee State University. Studies include basic academic subjects, human growth and development, the functioning of the human body, and occupational therapy principles and techniques. The OTA program requires two, eight-week rotations of supervised practical experience in a variety of health care settings.
After successfully completing the educational program, you are eligible to take the national certification examination for the occupational therapy assistant. Many states, including Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia, also require licensing by their respective states to practice occupational therapy.
The Occupational Therapy Assistant Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814-3449. ACOTE's telephone number , c/o AOTA, is (301) 652-AOTA and its web address is www.acoteonline.org
Graduates are able to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational
therapy assistant administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational
Therapy, Inc. (NBCOT); however, the NBCOT sets its own criteria for taking the exam,
which may include questions on the applicant's criminal history. www.nbcot.org For graduate pass rates visit secure.nbcot.org/DATA/SCHOOLSTATS.ASPX
For more information on these limitations, you can contact NBCOT at (301)990-7979. After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). Most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination.

Women's Long Sleeve Dresses(0 items)
- Recommend
Uh oh! We couldn't find what you were looking for. Try use less filters!
Women / Long Sleeve Dresses RELATED SEARCHES
The great thing about cute long sleeve dresses is that your outfit is literally complete with one article of clothing plus shoes. Of course for true fashionistas, dressing up long sleeve dresses or long sleeve plus size dresses would require more than that. When styled, these dresses can achieve many looks, from grungy to playful to elegant long sleeve dresses. Let's explore the look!
Though long sleeves are mostly associated with cold weather, today's fashion scene comes with the levity to wear things counter-intuitively. Even long sleeve summer dresses are a thing, and although most people prefer to darken their arms in the sunshine, sleeves can be good for the more health conscious as it helps avoid skin damage. Other summer looks with sleeves include long sleeve cocktail dresses, the long sleeve shirt dress, long sleeve midi dress, long sleeve skater dress, long sleeve party dresses, and the long sleeve wrap dress. For example, wearing a long sleeve t shirt dress with skater shoes, a baseball cap, and tying a denim shirt around the waist can be a cute look. A floral long sleeve dress would be a good go-to in the summer as well. A lace long sleeve dress is another elegant look that can be good for warm weather. The long sleeve lace dress looks very cute with cowboy boots.
And of course, the sleeved look can be worn with pieces more suitable for colder weather. The long sleeve maxi dress is a fashion foundation for keeping warm; variations such as a long sleeve wrap maxi dress would also be good, as would a long sleeve floral maxi dress. Long sleeve evening dresses are often featuring cozier designs, as are long sleeve dresses formal. Stay ultra sleek and cozy in this season's riptide trend: the velvet long sleeve dress.

1When Jeremiah finished telling the people all the words the LORD, their God, sent to them, 2Azariah, son of Hoshaiah, Johanan, son of Kareah, and all the others had the insolence to say to Jeremiah: "You lie; the LORD, our God, did not send you to tell us, 'Do not go to Egypt to live there.' 3Baruch, son of Neriah, is inciting you against us, to hand us over to the Chaldeans to be killed or exiled to Babylon."a
4So Johanan, son of Kareah, and the rest of the leaders and the people did not listen to the voice of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.b 5Instead, Johanan, son of Kareah, and the military leaders took along all the remnant of Judah who had been dispersed among the nations and then had returned to dwell in the land of Judah: 6men, women, and children, the princesses and everyone whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the bodyguard, had consigned to Gedaliah, son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan; also Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, son of Neriah.c 7They went to Egypt—they did not listen to the voice of the LORD—and came to Tahpanhes.d
Jeremiah in Egypt. 8The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes: 9Take some large stones in your hand and set them in mortar in the terrace at the entrance to the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, while the Judahites watch. 10Then say to them: Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: I will send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. He will place his throne upon these stones which I, Jeremiah, have set up, and stretch his canopy above them.e 11He shall come and strike the land of Egypt: with death, those marked for death; with exile, those marked for exile; with the sword, those marked for the sword.f 12He shall set fire to the temples of Egypt's gods, burn the gods and carry them off. He shall pick the land of Egypt clean, as a shepherd picks lice off his cloak, and then depart victorious.g 13He shall smash the obelisks at the Temple of the Sun in the land of Egypt and destroy with fire the temples of the Egyptian gods.

Kristen Stewart Looks Down-To-Earth Arriving In London
Kristen flew to London to spend New Years with Rob on Dec. 27, and a new photo shows how relaxed and comfortable she is! Do YOU think she is happier with Rob more than ever?
Fans went crazy on Dec. 29 when they spotted Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in London as the couple happily — and quietly — spent New Years together. Now, a new fan photo reveals Kristen's normal and down-to-earth style as she arrived in the airport on Dec. 27 to spend the holiday with Rob!
"Kristen Stewart at the London Airport," @TheLilSamuelL wrote on Dec. 30 along with the fan pic, even though she arrived at the airport days earlier on Dec. 27.
She kept her relaxed look by sporting a backwards hat and signature black hoodie.
Kristen & Rob Reuniting For New Years Day
After the two spent Christmas together with their respective families, they reunited on London to ring in 2013. Multiple fans reported seeing the couple together on Dec. 29, and one fan Amber Johnson tweeted "Just sat next to Robert pattinson and christen Stewart on the tube oh my god." Even though she doesn't seem like a HUGE fan (she can't spell Kristen's name correctly), we're happy she saw the happy couple together!
But the two lovebirds remained low key for the actual holiday, as they hadn't been spotted since their Dec. 29 outing. It looks like they are ready to put the tumultuous 2012 behind them, and continue 2013 in the more quiet and private manner they prefer!
"It's the most disjointed, uninformed, and completely unsatisfying and completely depressing," Kristen said in an interview with USA Today, referring to what some tabloid magazines write about her and her love life with Rob.
Hopefully 2013 is better for the couple!

First the blast took away 44 lives and injured several and then in continuation of this terrorism an apparent well planned riot was staged on M A Jinnah Road and Sadar area.
The riot resulted in the loss of around 40 billion rupees with thousands of shops and vehicles burnt by the mobsters.
These riots have the signatures similar to that which happened after Benazir's assasination on 27th December 2007.
It's now time to investigate not only this incident but also it's links with past incidents like 27th December 2007, 9th April 2008 and 12 May 2007 and bring to justice who were responsible for these horrible crimes.
Also the traders losses needed to be compensated by the government as the responsibility of the security was of the government especially when they took over the control of markets and shops in the area from the traders.
We as tax payers of Pakistan are justified in demanding that what is the purpose of financing these state institutions with our taxes if they can't protect the lives and property of our people.
The shopkeepers pointed on the rioters among the mob and were requesting the police and rangers to stop them but according to reports the security officials said they don't have orders to stop them. Then the question is needed to be asked why they were there and why all the containers were placed which eventually resulted in creating obstacles in fire fighting operations?
Government has CCTV and media records available to identify the criminals . It's time these things are needed to be stopped once and for all if government itself is not involved.

Happy Birthday Ladies By Susan Cobb
Designer Tip: I used a masking technique for the lady image as the card focal for this card. I stamped the face portion with ink while masking the hair portion. Then, I masked the face portion of the stamped image, and stamped the hair with the glue, then flocked it for a great look!

World War II and the carrier campaigns of the Pacific firmly established the role of aviation within naval operations and the aircraft carrier replaced the battleship as the Navy's primary strike weapon. Serving as mobile air bases, carriers could maneuver aircraft around the open waters and scattered island chains of the Pacific. By employing a combination of scouting, fighter or bomber aircraft to control the enemy's air power, groups of carriers, screened by surface ships, could open the way for island invasions, cover and support amphibious operations, and help to hold the conquered areas. Thus carriers became an integral compound of nearly every campaign throughout the Pacific War. With aircraft that extended the fleet's firepower beyond the range of large caliber battleship guns, the carrier's status was elevated from reconnaissance platform to that of major surface combatant.
The USS Hornet's exceptional career was capped with the recovery of the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 astronauts at the end of these missions. Navy divers aided the Apollo 11 crew, astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. and Michael Collins, back to the Hornet after the capsule hit the water. The Apollo crew, wearing containment suits because of the possibility of introducing alien bacteria, stepped from the helicopter, waved and entered quarantine. President Richard M. Nixon welcomed the astronauts back to earth aboard the carrier. "Hornet plus three" then steamed for home. The Navy announced the impending retirement of the USS Hornet on January 15, 1970, and the carrier was decommissioned on June 30.
Today the USS Hornet is open to the public and permanently moored at the former Alameda Naval Air Station, which served many functions during World War II, providing combat training to carrier squadrons, commanding patrol and scouting operations, and providing aviation support for Naval supply bases. Alameda was a major aviation gateway to the Pacific and berthing location for the Pacific fleet, including the first USS Hornet.
The USS Hornet a National Historic Landmark, can be seen at the USS Hornet Museum in Alameda, California. At Atlantic Avenue, turn left through the gate and into Alameda Point (formerly Naval Air Station Alameda). Turn left on Ferry Point and proceed along the water towards the cluster of large ships. Parking is available across the street from the USS Hornet. The museum is open from 10:00am to 5:00pm Wednesday-Monday; limited access on Tuesdays due to ship maintenance. Please call 510-521-8448, or visit the museum's website for further information and for directions from Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco.

Gastric Balloon for Treatment of Obesity
The gastric balloon is a medical device developed for use as a temporary adjunct to diet and behavior modification to reduce the weight of patients who fail to lose weight with those measures alone. It is inserted into the stomach to reduce the capacity of the stomach and to affect early satiety.
The use of the gastric balloon is not covered under Medicare, since the long term safety and efficacy of the device in the treatment of obesity has not been established.
09/1987 - Provided that use of gastric balloon for treatment of obesity not covered. Effective date 09/18/1987. (TN 19)

Medical residents are an essential part of the hospital workforce. Although still in training the take on much of the day to day care of patients. A systematic review published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Medicine shows that patient by properly supervised residents care is safe and of equal quality to that of fully trained doctors.
Residency training is an essential part of a doctors education after they leave university. Once completed doctors are expected to provide high quality care and while many studies have looked at different aspects of residency training, the care provided by residents has not been comprehensively examined.
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) collated almost 100 articles published between 2004 and 2011 all of which were related to residency training, post graduate training, and patient treatment. Together these papers largely point to a positive message both for the residents and the people involved in their training.
The majority of studies included in this systematic review showed that patient care is safe and of equal quality, to fully qualified doctors, when delivered by residents, especially those whose inexperience was balanced with teaching by more experienced staff.
Rene van der Leeuw who led this study noted, "A minority of results found some negative patient outcomes and several studies found that patient outcomes improved throughout the residency period. We would recommend that for all residents, adequate supervision and evaluation, plus extra time to perform operations, is essential to maintain patient care."

Asus confirmed the release of dual-chip GeForce 7800 GT-based graphics card. The product will be powered by two identical 7800GT GPUs, attached on a single PCB. The EN7800GT Dual will be available mid October in limited quantities and will cost slightly more than 2 GTs.
Asus had announced a prototype dual-GPU card based on the NVIDIA 6800-series chips some months ago, but the card was cancelled and it never reached the market, in the light of NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX launch.
Although the EN7800GT Dual may sound as an expensive buy, most users could find the price justifiable, since this prestigious product will be a limited edition. Asus will manufacture only 2,000 pieces, and each card has a unique ID number on it.
The EN7800GT can be powered either from an exclusive power supply unit provided in the retail package, or from a usual 300W or 350W PC power supply. However, in order to take advantage of the card's capabilities and maintain stability at extreme operation conditions (i.e. overclocking), it is recommended to power the card through the provided Asus' PSU or even use a 500W PC PSU. Note that a high efficiency and quality 500W PSU costs $70 more than a 300W PSU, so the extra cost of the EN7800GT might be worthy.
The card is equipped with a large heat sink and a rather stylish cooling fan cover, as illustrated below.
ASUS EN7800GT Dual is based on two GeForce 7800 GT graphics processing units each equipped with 256MB of GDDR3 memory (1.6 ns), manufactured by Samsung. The TV decoder chipset of the card is manufactured by Philips. The board features two DVI-I outputs.
NVIDIA's GeForce 7800 GT graphics chip features 20 pixel and 7 vertex processors enabled. By contrast, its more powerful predecessor – NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX – comes with G70 chip that features 24 and 8 pixel and vertex pipelines respectively.
With less than €1000, Asus offers a concept alternative to SLI, which is also competitive in terms of performance. The first benchmark results indicate an impressive performance, with the 3D Mark 03 score to reach the 27203, while the 3D Mark 05 software showed a score of 11138. For the specific test, the core clock of the device was set to 489 MHz, and the memory clock at 1358 MHz.
The EN7800GT Dual will be available mid October. Samples are expected to be available earlier.

Julie sairastui 1994 "nuhankaltaisiin oireisiin". Dg: poskiontelotulehdus. Myöhemmin diagnooseiksi annettiin Epstein Barr -virus (vaikka testiä ei tehty) ja mononukleoosi. 9 vuoden kuluttua oireet voimistuivat. Hänellä oli voimakasta huimausta, pahoinvointia, oksentelua, niskakipuja, migreeniä, paniikkikohtauksia, oikea silmä turposi, krooninen poskiontelotulehdus, selkä/nivelkipuja, lihasspasmeja jne. Borrelia Western blot ja PCR negatiiviset, MRI:ssä muutoksia aivoissa. Neurologi epäili MS-tautia. Siinä vaiheessa Julie meni borrelioosiin erikoistuneen lääkärin vastaanotolle (LLMD). Verikokeet lähetettiin Igenexin laboratorioon ja ne osoittivat hänen sairastavan borrelioosia.
Hoito: Rifampin 600 mg Flagyl 375 mg. Hän sai hoidosta voimakkaat reaktiot. Hänen lääkärinsä yhdisti koululääketiedettä ja vaihtoehtolääketiedettä. Julie käytti antibioottien lisäksi homeopatiaa, oreganoöljyä, vitamiineja, myrkkyjenpoistolaastareita päivittäin vuoden ajan jne. 6 kk:n jälkeen hoitoon lisättiin kissankynsi ja Rifampinin määrää vähennettiin puolella. Kuukautta myöhemmin Flagyliä otettiin vain viikonloppuisin. Vähitellen Rifampinia vähennettiin 1 tabletilla 2 viikon välein.
Tällä hetkellä edellämainitusta hoidosta on kulunut 2 1/2 v. ja Julien vointi on koko ajan tullut paremmaksi. Hänellä on vielä jonkin verran tinnitusta ja hartiakipuja. Hän käyttää edelleen kissankynsivalmistetta, maitohappobakteereita ja useita lisäravinteita kuten magnesiumia suurina annoksina.
Late in 1994, I came down with a flu like illness. My body hurt so bad, bone pain, fevers, chronic runs and dizziness. I was put on antibiotics briefly for a 'sinus infection', and after that, my stomach got worse.
I started the doctor shuffle, and was finally labeled with 'Epstein Barr'. I was told I had mono and it would take me at least 6 months to recover. It took about 2 years. I bought a water bed to get some relief. I was never the same again.
(I've since found the tests that the specialist ran - they never ran an EBV test. It was a label they used because they had no other answers).
Whenever I faced stress, my glands would swell. My knees cracked like a bowl of Rice Krispies.
Fast forward 9 YEARS to June 2003. I was under a lot of stress at work. Then I found the tiniest tick I ever saw in my bed. I then noticed I started getting dizzy at night, and the bottom of my feet got ultra sensitive.
By July 4th, I was so dizzy I was vomiting if I moved off the couch. I went to a quack who said sinus infection and put me on Levaquin and Allegra D for 2 weeks. During which time a brown circle broke out on my right shoulder. I started to feel better after 10 days, but ran out of abx. I went back for more and they gave me another week. The second I stopped Levaquin, wham with the dizzies. Only now, the neck pain started. And my stomach was a disaster... And around 7 pm each night, I got hit with panic attacks and migraines. If I went into a large space, like the foodstore, I was doomed. My right eye was swollen like someone punched me.
I went to my PCP (non Lyme literate) and demanded a Lyme test. They did a PCR and it came out negative...
The summer went by and I started researching and found Lymenet. And demanded a Western Blot and test for coinfections. All 'negative.
By September, I thought my life was over. Went to ER, who sent me to Neuro, ENT, Pain Mgt. At this point, the floaters were so bad I couldn't go out in the daylight, nor could I manage to get off the couch many days. I spent most days with an ice pack on my neck and right arm. The swelling in my right eye spread to my whole face.
The CAT scan and bloodwork indicated infection and they put my on Levaquin and said get to ENT and Neuro.
The Neuro (god bless him) put me on low doses of Valium (2mg) to help with the dizziness which by now was unbearable.
The ENT kept me on Levaquin for 'chronic sinusitus' (and of course I herxed my brains out). My sinuses slowly responded, but I started to develop sciatic pain and tendon pain - bc of course they don't tell you quinolones cause tendon damage. But the neck pain and floaters were unreal. In December, I had a cervical epidural to help deal with the neck pain.
I was finally taken off Levaquin around Christmas.. And had another sinus infection in 6 days. And was put on Augmentin. And thought I would DIE!!!
Again, I demanded another Lyme test from my PCP, this time by IgeneX. He said let's send you to another neuro.... who at first glance said I sounded like I had Lyme, and changed her mind once she saw past test work. An MRI revealed lesions of unknown origin... And of course she wanted to do a spinal to 'rule out' MS.
And that's when I ran to the nearest LLMD. I knew it all along, but I guess I didn't want to face it, or was too braindead to get it at the time.
I was put on 600mg Rifampin and 375mg flagyl. From day one. Clinically dxd on the spot with Lyme and Bartonella. My Stryker panel showed almost NO CD57 Natural Killer Cells. My IgeneX WB was CDC positive, although the PCR from MDL drawn the same day was negative. And so were coinfection tests.
I herxed my brains out and went through all the fun stuff we all go through. My muscles were in such bad shape, I had lumps from muscle spazms all over the back of my head and my shoulders. Weekly Trigger point injections of lidocaine finally took care of the situation. Who'd think you'd be happy about getting shots in the HEAD??? I was.
I went through all the scary stuff. Heart herxes, dizzies, pass out tired, blood sugar problems, UTI's from yeast... all of it..
My LLMD combines traditional treatment with homeopathy. She put me on an exhaustive vitamin regimen (www.bodywise.com, oil of oregano(from www.youngliving.com), and I used the foot detox patches every night for a year (www.real-world-health.com).
Instead of just stopping abx like some here do, my transition was sooooo slow I don't think my body had time to realize. After 6 mos of successful treatment, continual improvement, she added in Cat's Claw (Prima una de Gato from Allergy Research). I herxed off 1/3rd capsule in about 30 minutes. And cut my Rifampin dose in half. And a month later, cut the Flagyl dose to weekends (although I think I pushed it to 4 days a week, and then cut back to weekends).
And then started cutting Rifampin dose by 1 pill, every 2 weeks. And when I got down to 1 pill a week, cut flagyl to 1 day a week. And on November 10, I took my last pill.
I was a bit scared to stop, and my body was still quite messed up. I still was herxing, albeit slightly, every month.
Last December my LLMD told me the benefits of using a mini-trampoline (in terms of keeping body loose and detoxing) - I bought one and never looked back. My blood sugar is now normal and I no longer get loopy after eating. And I seem to no longer herx.
If you've actually read this far, hallelujah!! Many here helped me and held my hand when I needed it. And I have you all to thank.

No relapses, only improvements and a return to being a normal person and feeling 'normal'.
A few lingering symptoms - mainly tinnitus, and I still take Flexeril at bedtime. Despite daily rebounding, massage therapy, my shoulders still are a bit tight. LLMD thinks they are related.
I continue to take Cat's Claw and acidophillus, and will do so for the forseeable future. I am also on a very exhaustive supplement regime (including of course, Magnesium), that I am committed to taking for the rest of my life.
I am currently also giving myself weekly IM Magnesium injections. My levels have returned to the low end of normal, so hopefully I won't have to do those forever.
I try to exercise 4-5 days a week on trampoline and treadmill, and although my diet isn't completely 'no yeast', I do watch my carbs and avoid pure sugar like the plague. But as you feel better, sticking to it gets kind of tough (and if I go off the wagon, my friend Candida returns). But sugar no longer makes me dizzy or feel drunk, so I must be winning the war.
From where I was 2 1/2 years ago, (and even 1 year ago when I was deemed 'ready'), it's a situation I can live with. And with time, I hope it resolves like everything else has.
I've come a really long way even in the last year since I've been off.
I was fortunate to be able to work throughout my entire illness in an extremely stressful job. I work about 45-50 hours a week, and commute an hour each way.
Early on there were many days I couldn't make it to work, but this experience has shown me how wonderful my employers are. I couldn't have asked for more supportive bosses.
Just wanted to share my good news, because yes, people do get better. I'm still around, because without this board I would still be trying to figure out what was wrong with me (or in a wheelchair, or in a psych ward, because after all, it's all just in our head and stress related).

Brandon Davies: Is BYU's Premarital Sex Controversy Good For College Sports?
Back in March I wrote about Jimmer Fredette and BYU's run to the NCAA tournament. In that post I mentioned the situation with Brandon Davies, the 6'9″ power forward/center, suspended for the remainder of the season due to an honor code violation. We later learned that violation had to do with the provision of the BYU honor code referring to living a "chaste and virtuous life". Brandon admitted to having sexual relations with his girlfriend.
What followed is, in my mind, a proud moment for BYU and for Brandon Davies. I could opine about that for pages but I'd rather share an article in Time magazine published on March 4th by a disinterested 3rd party that closely follows my own thoughts and feelings on the situation. The author, Sean Gregory, articulates well the magnitude of the decision by BYU and the possible ripples that decision could have in college sports in general in the future.
It's a great read, so I decided to re-post it here with attribution.
Brandon Davies: Is BYU's Premarital Sex Controversy Good For College Sports?
These days, bad behavior among college athletes is a fact of campus life. Beat up a freshman in a barroom one night and you can be back on the court three days later. Just this week, a Sports Illustrated and CBS News investigation found that more than 200 players on the rosters of 25 major college football teams have run afoul of the law. Nearly a quarter of scholarship athletes on the University of Pittsburgh squad have criminal records.
College athletics is a multibillion-dollar enterprise, and the pressure to win at any cost — including turning a blind eye to player misbehavior — can be overwhelming. That's why the news this week that Brigham Young University (BYU) would force starting center Brandon Davies to miss the rest of the season for violating the school's honor code was so surprising.
The team looked like a title contender. BYU is ranked third in the country, and Davies, who averages 11.1 points and 6.2 rebounds, is a key player; in their first game without him, the Cougars were trounced by the University of New Mexico, 82-64.
But the most surprising fact of the story is that Davies got booted for behavior that wasn't criminal. What he did takes place, to put it mildly, every day in colleges across the country: Davies had sex with his girlfriend.
BYU is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which frowns on premarital relations. Davis, like 98% of BYU students, is a Mormon. Upon entering the school, students vow to abide by its honor code, which prohibits premarital sex as well as indulging in alcohol or coffee. "The honor code is an essential part of your recruitment to BYU," says Hall of Fame quarterback and ESPN analyst Steve Young, who played at BYU from 1981 to '83. "It's not like you find out later — 'Oh, you didn't tell me! I didn't know that!' But there's a spirit on campus that is just, 'O.K., fine, now let's now go have a good time.'"
The judgment on Davies doesn't come without costs to the school. If BYU fails to advance in the upcoming NCAA tournament without its star center, the rest of the team — young men who worked hard, obeyed the rules and did nothing wrong — miss out on a life experience they may never recapture.
But you have to admire an institution that sticks by its principles. "The expression of love between a man and a woman is sacred, valued at the highest level," says Shawn Bradley, the 7-ft. 6-in. former NBA player who spent a year at BYU and spent two years on a mission in Australia before entering the 1993 draft. Indeed, many BYU alums say they support the school's decision. "Sorry, I'm choking up a bit here," says Philadelphia sportscaster Vai Sikahema, a former NFL return specialist who played for BYU in the mid-1980s. "It's just hard for me to express just how immensely proud I am of my university."
He should be. When it comes to athletes and sex, the easy call is to let the jocks slip. On any campus, athletes are visible, and popular, especially when a team is winning. And though it's probably easier for a student to squelch his or her desires at a place where all 30,000 undergrads are also trying to stay chaste, suppression is still a challenge. "It was difficult for me," says Bradley, a devout Mormon. "We all have those urges. You're dealing with hormones, which are out in full force. But you have to stay focused, and put yourself in the right places to protect yourself."
The willingness of BYU to police poor conduct is sharply at odds with other college programs. At Seton Hall University last season, for example, a basketball player who caused an accident while driving under the influence, causing an injury to the other driver, was suspended for only eight games. This year, a top player from Robert Morris University got a four-game penalty after a drunk-driving incident. In February, two players from Marshall University were charged with battery over a bar fight; they played in a game the next evening. Schools often let athletes off easy for on-field transgressions too. Two seasons ago, a University of Florida football player intentionally gouged an opponent's eyes. He was suspended for a half.
BYU has every incentive to just slap Davies on the wrist for his transgression. A successful run at the Final Four could generate millions of dollars in television revenues and alumni donations for the school, and the added exposure and prestige can increase applications.
BYU boosters, however, believe the Davies incident could be a selling point on its own, by broadcasting the school's principled stand on honesty and taking responsibility. Davies himself has apologized to his teammates and took his punishment without complaining. And despite the stiff penalty it levied, BYU also teaches forgiveness. "It's really a pretty compassionate place," says Young, a great-great-great grandson of Brigham Young himself. "I guarantee you there's a huge outreach to make sure that he's O.K. If I could talk to him, I'd put my arm around him and say, 'Hang in there, get back on the court when you can, and make it right.'"
Davies may learn a great deal from this experience. "This could be a seminal moment in this young man's life," says Sikahema. "Better that it happens at 20, rather than 50, with four kids. He'll probably be a better man, and that's ultimately what BYU is about, building leaders, building men. If that means missing out a chance at the Final Four, well, that's what happens."
Would any other school pay that price? More than likely, too few would pass the Brandon Davies test.

Vent drives me a little bit insane, or at least it did.
When I was playing with my mates every Friday it was an essential means of communication. Often we would forget to type out the instructions to the couple of pugs that were running with us.
It wasn't all sunshine and light though. Sure it was a bunch of long term mates (30 odd years for one mate as an example), but the difference between meeting in a pub and meeting over headphones is you can walk away from your annoyance-of-the-moment in the pub.
So it's been a little while now since we have been together and we rarely get on vent together any more.
More desolate than Desolace
Likewise 99% of my instances and BGs have been with complete strangers, what little communication that occurs is via the text chat.
I am remembering again how desolate party chat can be. You really appreciate when you join a party that includes mates and these is some gentle ribbing going on, some crap talk beyond "pull this, sheep that".
Desperate Messages
Then there are the times when you are desperately trying to get a message across.
Watch out… Pat!
Dear Mage, may I perchance be supplied with a fraction of you mana bars worth of liquid refeshment?
Of course some times you in up in a parochism over some foolish action. You find yourself banging your head on the desk, screaming your lungs out…
…but in the party chat void, no one can hear you scream…
Sometimes it really is like Get Smart and the cone of silence. You quickly type out a short, momentarily important, message then spend the next 5 minute trying to explain in more detail. (BGs… I'm looking at you!)
When your mid battle or in the Zerg in a battleground, typing a message out is like trying to sing the national anthem with a mouth stuffed full of potato chips. Bloody impossible (in my case I don't actual know the national anthem, it's got something about skirts and seeds… I think, or is it the one with the jumbuck and the swagman… Dirty old bugger.. maybe not)
Healing in tune
I think I am feeling it all the more right now. I haven't found my healing song.
When Gnomeaggedon is out partying it's in tune with My Pal and Firestarter. There is a rhythm to the pulses of fire and the roaring explosions.
I kinda feel like I need to be playing a bit of Enya while I play Squidly but I am struggling to keep my eyes open anyway, I don't want to be jolted back from a deep Enya induced coma by a wipe.
There is no rhythm to healing, nothing to tap my feet to, nothing to nod my head to, wave my arms about in the air manically.
It's all silence and meditation.
- How do you cope with the cone of silence that is party chat?
- Do you have a soundtrack to play by?
Gnomer and Out!

roundy, 3d, swoosh and twirl
The future is bad
Just documenting change here (careful not to say progress). Of all these refreshments, I suppose I have to find some nice thing to say... and that will be: Sprint's newest identity is the least offensive of the bunch.
The rest look like something from a logo generator.
I still haven't gotten the bitter taste out of my mouth from the evolution of fast food logos.
Filed in: Design |
« The day before | The Last 10 | The day after »
I like more the new Intel and also the Sprint logo
- Kodak is going digital, why bother with this film shape ?
- AT&T wants to escape from the Konica "impression"
also... do you think that big corporations will accept a "stupid" logo ? everything is for a reason :) if we do not see it, it doesn't mean that it's not there...
Posted by: Logoblink.com | Mar 21, 2008 11:14:18 AM
I actually read something about the new AT&T logo testing as much less authoritarian as the old one. Apparently, now that there's serious competition, the old fascist death star is a little hard on our sensibilities.
The new Sprint logo, on the other hand. Don't even get me started. Have they forgotten what their brand was supposed to be about?
Posted by: Brent Rockwood | Mar 19, 2008 8:02:04 AM
I agree. I can't believe they even THOUGHT about touching the AT&T logo. Poor Saul is rolling over in his grave...

Action movie star Jeremy Renner can't seem to avoid life-or-death confrontations even on his days off.
The "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" and "Avengers" star was visiting the Racheda Pub in Phuket, Thailand with several friends during a break from filming the upcoming "Bourne Legacy" when the group was violently attacked by staffers following an altercation.
According to the Phuket Gazette, Renner and his group were attacked by staffers of the Racheda Pub when one of Renner's party - a man named Vorasit Issara, who is the general manager of a Thai resort - apparently broke a glass. This lead to a verbal altercation, followed by violent escalation.
U.S. & World
One of the staffers was actually wielding an axe during the fracas.
Although Renner quickly left the scene and was uninjured, Issara was not so lucky. He was rushed to the hospital after being stabbed in the stomach and slashed in the neck by the axe. He is in serious condition.
The six pub staffers have all reportedly confessed to their involvement in the attack, and are being charged with attempted murder.
A representative for Renner confirmed the incident to E! News, and explained that Renner "was at the bar when the fight broke out and he exited," adding that he was "not injured" and "not involved."

The One Where I Get Navispammed & I Win A Contest (these events not related)
You guys, this year is going amazing for me so far and based on all the good fortune I've had this month, I'm excited to see what lies ahead. A lot of very cool things have happened to me recently and they just won't all fit in one post, so I'm going to start off by telling you about two very squee worthy happenings involving our amazing WoW community. In chronological order, just to be fair.
First, I GOT NAVISPAMMED!! Woot! What a tremendous surprise. I have been reading of Navimie's adventures in tracking down members of the community for quite a while now but I never once considered I'd be someone she'd be interested in meeting. I won't go into great detail about the meeting because she's already written up a brilliant post with all of the details and plenty of fun screenshots on her own fun blog. I will simply agree with her I was very surprised, I do believe her and I have very similar blogs (though she blows me away with the amount and detail of content) and we totally did jump on the bed in childish abandon. And I will also toss in a few of my own screenshots, although she totally had the screenshot thing covered.
Here we are jumping on the bed:
Here we are being stealthy with Shadowmeld:
And here I am showing off my newly named Teldrassil Sproutling
It was so much fun having Navi surprise me this way. We actually chatted for about an hour and while I taught her that Blingtron will give you pimp clothes, I will admit (with much embarrassment) she had to teach me how to kick my vendors off my mammoth so that she could hop on and get a ride. So it was fun AND a learning experience for us both. Thanks so much for looking me up, Navimie.
NOW ONTO WINNING A CONTEST – I totally did. I won the hell out of a contest and my prize was a brand-spanking new Swift Windsteed. The contest was held on Femtaur.com by Aune (@notanna) and began with this post to submit entries on a good name for the new, strange-looking mount being sold on the Blizzard Store. The winning entry would receive a code for the mount for free and amazingly, I somehow was chosen as the winner. Yay! What a good email to receive when you first wake up. You can read my entry in the post Aune wrote up to announce the winner. Thanks so much, Aune, for hosting this contest and providing such a great prize. Here's a couple of pictures of me taking my new ride out for a spin.
And finally, I will close by saying that I have finally updated my blog's background image and header image to reflect the new expansion instead of being stuck in Cataclysm. I realize most people read this from a feed reader so they never see my actual blog, but you should totally go check it out at least once. Although I will say I am not thrilled with my header because I couldn't remember when I was taking screenshots what the dimensions needed to be and I ended up too close up. I will be redoing it slightly, but it's basically going to be the same as it is.

Can anyone vote on these? --Mister Six 01:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Any registered user is invited to make proposals and indicate rankings to the extent they are inclined, up to 4 from any particular source. I refrain from calling it a formal vote, for there are as yet too few participants to establish any rigid tallying rules, and I have stated there should always be leeway for last minute additions, due to such things as notable deaths or disasters. ~ Kalki 02:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I had only a few minutes earlier, and only a few minutes now, but I wish to add that the quotes should generally be related in some way to the date where they are posted. It is not an absolute rule, but it is one that helps to prevent a random floodings of dates with some person's personal favorites. I also think it better to focus on the dates of birth of people, rather than on their dates of death, and I believe that a gradual build up of good options for each date will occur, not limited to these. ~ Kalki 08:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

You just got your new iPhone for Christmas and you may have been wondering what case you should purchase to protect your new gift. I'm here to tell you if you are in the market for a slider case the Case-Mate Smooth for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS [iMore Store Link - $27.95] is one to consider. For the full review follow me after the break!
Inside the package you obviously get the case itself but you also get a crystal clear screen protector along with a small microfiber cleaning cloth. I personally choose not to use them but it's a nice gesture that I'm sure some of you can take advantage of them. The Case-Mate Smooth feels as it's name describes - smooth. With it's soft to the touch matte finish and with very minimal bulk added, it feels great in the hand. Even better is that offers a decent amount of grip without the sticky finish. You don't have to worry about a ton of dust or having a hard time removing your iPhone from you pocket or purse.
Like a majority of other sliders the Case-Mate Smooth comes in two separate pieces that easily slide on your iPhone and lock securely together. The major difference I noticed was that this particular case is the installation, it is much easier to slide on and off than most other cases. In more or less words, it fits perfectly. It slides on easy enough that you do not have to worry about scratching the back of the phone or the chrome bezel.
On the negative front, some may feel the case simply does not cover enough area of the phone as the complete top of your phone is unprotected. I'm sure Case-Mate feels some would like access to the sim card tray but I am not one of them. All of the other ports you would expect to be accessible are. Things like the volume control, power button, and headphone jack are all can easily accessed.
Admittedly slider cases generally are my least favorite to use out of all of the various types on the market today. This really held true until I was given the chance to test out the Case-Mate Sooth case [iMore Store Link] and then my opinion changed. Sure there are a few minor annoyances but it's a very solid effort. All other slider case manufactures need to take note here follow Case-Mate's lead.

The Builtapp PHP Intranet system was built out of the need to automate recurrent office operations and sharing information within a closed group. As such, it is designed to be easy to learn and use and fast in the execution of its function. It is also meant to be an avenue through which members of an organisation can communicate with each other by sharing what they are currently working on and giving a glimpse into their personal schedules and availability for events or meetings.
The system itself is a web application built atop the Codeigniter PHP framework and hosted on a secure web server. The system being online ensures that it is accessible from virtually anywhere as long as one has an internet connection and also helps a great deal towards its availability as the server suffers from minimal to no down-time at all.
The system is built using a modular method which ensures separation of functions making the modules and the system as a whole highly scalable and easy to maintain and troubleshoot.
- Easy to integrate (Mostly just copying files)
- A plugin Management which basically means many many more plugins are on the pipeline.
- Clean css and a responsive design.
- Based on Codeigniter's HMVC framework hence very extensible.
- Has an events module already installed.
- Has a robust User Manager.
- User Access control to various modules or part of modules
- Strict, fail-safe security
- Has different levels of security depending on your preference:
- At application level – apply rules to whole application (all URLs)
- At controller/module level – Apply rules to actions in a particular controller
- At action/function level – Apply rules only to particular actions
- Well commented and organised code throughout
- Exhaustive documentation
