Joe Carroscia, Sr. is a life-long resident of the City of Wickliffe. As a retired former employee of the Wickliffe Service Department, Joe demonstrated not only his outstanding skills as a tradesman, but his leadership ability in serving as a role model for other employee's. He was named the "Mayor's Employee of the Year" numerous times.
In support of the Wickliffe community Joe designed and constructed the Gazebo at Coulby Park. The gazebo is used for numerous celebrations and occasions, including summer band concerts and weddings. He also designed and built the spiral brick water fountain in Coulby Park and the smaller arched bridge over the back west end of Coulby Pond.
Joe donated his time and expertise to the Wickliffe School System by building a storage and equipment garage at the Senior High football field following his retirement from the city.
In retirement he also generously gave his time and experience toward the construction of the utility building at Liberty Gardens.
Joe won the 1991 Greater Cleveland Public Works Performance Award for his development and concept of using broken pieces of sidewalk concrete molded together to form the pedestrian bridge at Wickliffe's Nehl's Park. This 1991 new concept of using recycled concrete saves money and also makes use of discarded material to provide both functional and aesthetically pleasing structures.
Joe was born in Wickliffe Ohio in 1930 of immigrant parents Angelo and Lena Carroscia. His father was a mason and his mother was a housewife and later worked at Wickliffe City Hall.
He is the oldest of three children, a sister Betty Carroscia-Skrjance and one brother Angelo (Chuck) Carroscia. All graduated from Wickliffe High School.
Joe graduated in 1949 and went on to trade school to follow in his father's footsteps as a stone and brick mason. He married his high school sweetheart, Madeline Pucella-Carroscia in 1950.
Together they had eight children: Joe Carroscia Jr., Perry, Chuck, Ray, Patty, Roxanne, Donna Carroscia-Platek and Judy Carroscia-Little. The boys graduated from Wickliffe High School and the girls graduated from Notre Dame Academy. Most went on to become college graduates and two are working in the trades.
Joe's first wife Madeline passed away of Leukemia in the 1990. Joe met his current wife Judie Peoples-Carroscia and they married in 1997 in the same gazebo Joe built at Coulby Park. Judie has been a Wickliffe resident since 1963 residing on Phillips Ave. Joe is still an avid golfer in his retirement years along with enjoying his large family including 16 grandchildren.
Joe Chillemi was drafted into the 9th Army Air Force in 1941 and served as a control tower
operator. Joe was one of the many brave soldiers who landed on the beach at Calais, France on D-Day. After advancing from the beach up a hill he discovered a religious needlepoint on an undisturbed wall of a bombed out home. He carried it throughout his entire war career.
The needlepoint, which has a date of 1896, is now framed and is proudly displayed in his living room.
Joe also participated in the Battle of the Bulge and was involved in five major battles. For those battles he received five Bronze Stars. Although wounded several times he refused to accept any Purple Hearts. Accepting those meant his family would be notified and upset.
He was honorably discharged in 1945.
Joe was born in Mansfield, Ohio in 1921 to parents Rose (DiAchille) and Natale Chillemi. Natale's family originated from Capo d'Orlando Messina Sicily.
During high school Joe played the saxophone for several local bands. That's when he met his wife-to-be Betty Lucas.
They were married while he was on leave from the Army in 1943.
Following the war he and Betty settled in East Cleveland and started to raise his family. He opened three cigar stores in Downtown Cleveland from 1950 to 1982. The family moved to Wickliffe in 1954 where they raised their four children: Dolores, Jim, Jack and Richard.
He joined the Wickliffe Italian-American Club in 1971. He became the club's treasurer from 1980 to 1988 and elected vice president the following two years.
After 68 years of marriage, Betty sadly passed away. Today he has 15 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.
From the beaches of France, to his home in Wickliffe, Joe Chillemi played a big role in the war he fought and the I&A club he served for over 42 years.
LeRoy Heavilin was born 1884 in Archer Twp., Harrison Co., Ohio, and died 1925 in Wickliffe, Ohio. During this short 41-year life, LeRoy accomplished quite a lot. One of ten children born to a sheep farmer in Harrison county, he entered Ohio Wesleyan in 1907 and graduated in education from Mount Union College. He became a Manual Training teacher in the Bedford School district upon graduation. (The Manual Training movement was the precursor to the vocational training programs in our schools today.) In 1918 Mr. LeRoy Heavilin became the first Superintendent and Principal of the newly formed Wickliffe Junior High School which was a part of the Willoughby Rural School District. He was also the school's Manual Training teacher. The Wickliffe Village Schools were formed in 1919 and LeRoy Heavilin was named the first Principal of the Senior and Junior High schools (the current Middle School), as well as the district's Superintendent. By 1924 Leroy Heavilin continued as Wickliffe's first Superintendent of the newly formed Wickliffe Village Schools while still maintaining his classroom duties as the high school Manual Training instructor. In 1924 he presided over the first Wickliffe High School graduation class of three students. The next year LeRoy died while still serving as the superintendent, and Manual Training teacher. An article written in a local paper describes the "Universal Sorrow" that resulted from his untimely passing.
"The joys of the coming summer vacation were spoiled for the pupils of the Wickliffe Schools and many friends were saddened to hear of the untimely death of LeRoy Heavilin, 41, at his former home in Wickliffe Saturday, May 28. … Sympathy for the bereaved widow and the citizens of Wickliffe has been county wide, as the dead man was known and loved both in educational circles and in a social way. He had been Superintendent of Wickliffe Schools for five years and was principal of the high school there for two more years. He came to Wickliffe from Bedford where he was a schoolman for twelve years. … In Wickliffe, on every hand, exclamations of sorrow at his untimely death were heard. He was unusually active in civic affairs and in anything which concerned the welfare of the village…Afterwards (after the funeral,) school was dismissed for the day as a mark of respect. 'He was a public man of great understanding, who had given his life for his work. He will be greatly missed,' said R.J. Little (acting school superintendent.) He was one of the senior elders of the Presbyterian Church and was on the board of directors of the Wickliffe Health Center. He was a director in the Wickliffe Improvement Co. The county joins with Wickliffe in expressing sympathy to the bereaved." From the Painesville Telegraph, May 1925.
A small memorial plaque that reads "In Memory of LeRoy Heavilin Supt. of Wickliffe Schools 1918-1925" rested below a tree in the side yard of the Lincoln Elementary (now Wickliffe Elementary School,) for many years. The Heavilin legacy lived on for many years after LeRoy's passing. His wife, Blanche Heavilin taught elementary school (4th grade and substitute,) for a number of years after his death and his granddaughter, Betsy (Heavilin) Benz taught first grade from 1986 until she retired in 2008. For many years Betsy lived in the same house that LeRoy built and lived in on Maple Street while he was Superintendent.
LeRoy Heavilin–an education pioneer for the newly emerging Village of Wickliffe school system. LeRoy Heavilin, truly a Founding Farther of Wickliffe Education!
Melvin House Sr. proudly joined the Wickliffe Fire Department in 1956 as a full time firefighter. In 1962, he was promoted to lieutenant (the first lieutenant position in the history of the department). He advanced to assistant chief in 1969 and retired in 1987 after 30 plus years of service. Mel is now a life member of the Ohio Fire Chiefs' Association.
Although Mel contributed greatly to the success and growth of the Wickliffe Fire Department during his 30 plus years, his most enduring legacy is the establishment of Wickliffe's emergency medical service in the early 1970s, which was one of the first in Lake County. He also assumed the responsibility of writing the specifications for the rescue and fire fighting vehicles, which were purchased.
In addition to his work as a firefighter, Mel served his community in other ways. From 1954-1956 prior to working for the city, he worked as a mail carrier for the Wickliffe branch of the U.S. Post Office. He was always proud that his father, Harry House, had been a mail carrier and had the first walking mail route in Wickliffe. Mel was a member of Shoreview Kiwanis, serving as president in 1972. After retirement he enjoyed helping people as a Laketran bus driver for ten years and a
Wickliffe Senior Bus driver, retiring only when forced to do so because of a stroke in 2003.
Mel is a lifelong resident of Wickliffe and graduated from Wickliffe High School where he played football for the Blue Devils. After graduation he served two years in the Navy on a destroyer escort, attended Kent State University, and after becoming a firefighter continued his education through fire training courses. A little known fact is that Mel was raised in a log cabin, which was one of three his family built on land which is now Grand Boulevard and Oakwood Drive. The other two cabins belonged to the Todds and to the Hilliards. Mel's uncle, Bob Hilliard, later served as mayor of Wickliffe.
Mel and his wife, Pat, have four grown children (Mel Jr., Robyn, Christine, and Barbara) who also grew up in Wickliffe and graduated from Wickliffe High. Twelve grandchildren and two great grandchildren complete the family. Mel has fond memories of attending his children's football games, basketball games, baseball games, and band concerts. He even enjoyed coaching his daughters' softball team. Mel is happy knowing he was able to share his love for Wickliffe with his family.

In later years, Dick competed in Masters and won 15 national championships/All-American honors for his age group throwing the discus, javelin, shot put, hammer and weights.
Dick's coaching career began as an assistant football/track coach at Cleveland East High (1956-1960). In 1960, he became the head coach for football/track at Lincoln High.
In 1961, his 36-year career began at his alma mater, Heights High. He coached boys track, boys/girls cross-country, and launched the girls track and boys indoor track programs. He guided the boy's track teams to winning a share of the state championship (1982) and state runner-up (1991). The boy's cross-country teams were state runner-ups twice.

In 1974, Pat Penrod received his Master's degree in Theatre Education from the University of Montana, and he was on his way to bringing new ideas to Wickliffe High School's Theatre program.
Pat was born in Akron, Ohio in 1942. After graduating from East High School, he went to Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, and earned his B.A. in Speech and Theatre.
He taught for two years in small country schools, then, in 1966, he began a 29-year association with the Wickliffe City school system. During this time, he produced three plays a year, giving Wickliffe students exposure to a wide range of plays, from Moliere to Neil Simon and John Steinback to Woody Allen. Students were also given the opportunity to see live theatre in and around Cleveland on a regular basis.
"It has been a great joy," Pat says, "to see former students go on to be successful in professional theatre. And, there has been much satisfaction in seeing Wickliffe students, on all levels, participate in the theatre program and benefit from doing so. They have gained confidence, made friends, and learned something about themselves. They have also learned how to work with others and have become better members of their community because of their participation."
"It has been my pleasure to work with the Wickliffe community as well," he added. "This includes the Mt. Carmel Players and the Wickliffe Civic Theatre."
"But above all, the greatest thing about Wickliffe is its people. Having an opportunity to work with and get to know entire families has been a joy. These include the Mulroys, Ruffners, Cicirellis, Ivancics, and many others to numerous to mention. I was able to work with Pete Wolfgram to establish the Rockefeller Road Revue and collaborate with Mike Lenenski and Mike Elias to produce quality music programs. At any time we could go to City Hall and get the cooperation needed in order to give our students a better experience. The teachers, administrators and staff at Wickliffe High were always ready to help. But above it all were the students – it was always the students. They were ambitious, hard working, talented, respectful and a joy to be around."
"All of the aforementioned allowed me to be true to my personal theatre philosophy:
We don't do grandma shows, we do good theatre."
"If you stay true to that philosophy you can be proud of what you do – And I am!"
Joseph and Mary Ann Surtz have been invaluable volunteers for the City of Wickliffe and Lake County for many years. Their volunteerism has shown their love for people.

Fr. Thomas W. Tifft was born October 5, 1942 to William and Catherine Tifft. He spent his early years in East Cleveland and attended St. Philomena Parish. He was a proud "Viking" and an alumnus of St. Joseph High School in Cleveland, Ohio.
Fr. Tifft graduated from Borromeo Seminary in 1965 and earned a Master of Divinity degree from Saint Mary Seminary in 1969. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Cleveland on May 31, 1969 and served his first assignment as Associate Pastor of St. Bridget Parish in Parma, Ohio.
He earned a Master of Arts degree in 1974 from John Carroll University and a doctorate in Philosophy degree in History from the Catholic University of America in 1979.
In 1973 he was appointed to the faculty of Saint Mary Seminary and taught courses in Church History including a most popular course on the History of the Diocese of Cleveland.
In June 2001 he was appointed President-Rector of Saint Mary Seminary and Graduate School of Theology. He will long be remembered for his assistance and guidance in the transition of relocating Saint Mary Seminary from the Ansel Road facility to the newly formed Center for Pastoral Leadership (located on the grounds of Borromeo Seminary) in Wickliffe, Ohio in 1991.
Fr. Tifft was an avid follower of history, especially the local Catholic Church in Cleveland as well as following his favorite All-American pastime … baseball! His love and devotion to the Tribe, through all the wins and losses, was known to all who knew and loved this great man … priest … professor … and fan!
Fr. Thomas Tifft suffered a massive stroke on July 6, 2012 and died on July 9, 2012.
Louis Turi was one of three children born March 4th, 1923 in Mt. Kisco NY. One of his favorite lines when asked for his birth date was " March 4th…the only date that makes a statement!" He died on February 13th, 2013 at Hillcrest Hospital.
Lou's early education was split between Ohio and New York. He attended grade school at Lincoln Elementary and spent the middle years in White Plains. He graduated from Wickliffe high school and from John Carroll College. He graduated from Cleveland-Marshall Law School and worked a number of jobs to support his education. He often mentioned Addressograph-Multigraph as some good years and he did also sell insurance.
He and his sister and brother lived in their parents' home in Willoughby until they were married. The marriages were all in the same year, 1958. Lou married Patricia Butters from Franklin, Pennsylvania. They met skiing in 1958 at Seven Springs, a resort in Pennsylvania. They have seven children and eleven grandchildren
Lou passed the bar exam in 1955 and was the first attorney to open a practice in Wickliffe. It was in a building shared with Roy Miller Realty that is now Location Carpet. In 1956 he bought a building on Craneing Road, split it in half, had it moved to it's current location in front of the city cemetery. It was reconnected and he had his office at that location with a partner, Eugene Adelman. He retired from his last office in the Wick-Willow Professional Building in 2010.
After his love for his family, his other two passions were Italy and his years in Wickliffe. His Italian heritage grew stronger as he got older. He was a proud member of the Italian/American Club where he served as an officer and often aided the club in legal matters. He was instrumental in forming an Italian language class for club members and friends. And, of course, he loved Bocce and made sure you pronounced the name correctly. He made four or five trips to Italy to meet his father's relatives and kept in touch with them over the years. He found the town of Turi and photographed the road sign for posterity. Lou collected maps of Italy and enjoyed studying them.
He was also a member of a committee sponsored by Lakeland Community College that arranged to bring a group of Italian students to the U.S. for a summer tour in exchange for a group of Lake County students that went to Italy. Many international friendships were formed from this exchange.
Lou was also known for his stories about Wickliffe in "the good old days". He, his parents and brother and sister lived in many different houses in Wickliffe. One was an apartment above the now non-existent Clarks' Market that was near the Fifth-Third Bank location. Another was in a double house near where Spinner's is located. The most fondly remembered one was on the corner of Rockefeller and Meadowbrook. When the family was young and Lou was driving them for ice cream at Foster's, there was a chorus of "Daddy's old house" repeated a couple of times.
As you probably know, Lou loved to tell stories and many of them were about days in Wickliffe. The names of streets when they were streetcar stops, skipping school and riding horses around town, having a root beer at Wimpy's Barrel or a hamburger at the Skyway Inn.
Lou was a very loyal Italian and Wickliffian.
Each month several hundred cars pass over the well-worn driveway. Their occupants, some older, some disabled, and some unemployed or underemployed, are on their way to receive some much needed food at the Vineyard Community Church food pantry. This is just one of many programs God has called the people of The Vineyard Community Church of
Wickliffe in support of the local community.
The Vineyard Community Church has been part of the Wickliffe community for over 40 years and in 1987 Pastor Brent Paulson, his wife Teresa, and daughter Bethany, moved to Wickliffe from Minneapolis and helped birth what is now The Vineyard Community Church.
The Church and its Pastors have a heart and
vision to demonstrate the love of God through simple acts of kindness and over the years that vision has taken shape in the form of the Vineyard Food Pantry which last year served over 30,000 people from Wickliffe and all over Lake and Cuyahoga County. We try our best to keep our focus on the community that lives outside the four walls of our church as we serve the least, last, and lost in this area.
Back in the early 1990s the church realized many in the community were not able to provide gifts to their children and so began the "Christmas For Kids" program, which has provided gifts for thousands of kids throughout the years. We partner with local schools and other church's to meet the increasing need during the Holiday season. Around the same time, the Church began handing out water at the Memorial Day Parade along with providing music via a live performance of the Vineyard Worship Team on a mobile stage.
Vineyard Community Church has also been able to serve the community of Wickliffe over the years with its annual Harvest Party at Halloween, Vacation Bible School, various community outreaches and health events as well as providing community service opportunities for local High Schools and the Willoughby Municipal Courts.
Pastor Paulson and the other staff and members of the Vineyard Community Church desire to serve the City and its people so that people might "See the good works and glorify our Father in Heaven".
We truly enjoy the partnership and relationships we have with the City of Wickliffe, its mayors, all the city workers the City Council, Police and Fire departments as well as the residents of Wickliffe. Everyone has been amazingly helpful in working with us as we seek to serve the city.

Media Release
Senator the Hon Ian Macdonald
Parliamentary Secretary to the
Minister for the Environment
22 March 1998
Parliamentary Secretary for the Bureau of Meteorology, Senator Ian Macdonald, has welcomed the reinstallation of a Waverider buoy off the west coast of Tasmania. The new buoy will be declared operational on Monday, 23rd March 1998--World Meteorological Day--during the international Year of the Ocean.
The buoy, anchored in 100 metres of water 18km northwest of Cape Sorell, will provide much needed information to help weather forecasters with their wave height predictions and therefore increase safety for boats operating in the area. The information from the buoy will be of immediate benefit to the Tasmanian fishing industry.
"This area of the Southern Ocean has a reputation for gales and high seas," Senator Macdonald said. "Bureau staff have created a new computer system which will give forecasters 24-hour displays of the wave heights and time between waves. The information will be available to the public through the media every three hours."
The West Coast waverider buoy is a collaboration by the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO Division of Marine Research and the Tasmanian Fishing Industry Council (TFIC).
"The Bureau will operate the system and contribute the estimated $150 000 needed for the project between 1997-2002; CSIRO will give scientific and technical advice and substantial in-kind support, and the TFIC will contribute $10 000 in boating costs," said Senator Macdonald. "With a price tag of $23 000, the value of the buoy for boating safety far outweighs its cost."
Between 1985-92, a similar Waverider buoy was operated by the CSIRO Division of Marine Research near Cape Sorell to report valuable weather information and research data which was also used by the Bureau and broadcast to the fishing industry.
"Measurements from the old buoy gave the average wave height for that area of 2.7 metres, from crest to trough," Senator Macdonald said. "However, one monster wave reached almost 20 metres, and while it was estimated by CSIRO as a one-in-ten-years event, it just shows how treacherous that area of the coast can be."
Further information:
Clare Richards, Senator Ian Macdonald's office-- (02) 6277 3665 or 0419 698275.
The CSIRO measurements showed that the mean height of waves measured near Cape Sorell wass 2.7 metres from crest to trough. The largest wave measured was nearly 20 metres, which CSIRO estimates as a one-in-ten-years event. Southwest swells recorded by the buoy are representative of swells reaching Torquay in Victoria four hours later.
The cooperative project to operate a new Waverider buoy system near Cape Sorell was developed by the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO Division of Marine Research and the Tasmanian Fishing Industry Council (TFIC). The Bureau of Meteorology will provide $150 000 of the estimated total project cost between 1997-2002; CSIRO Marine Research Laboratories will give scientific and technical advice and substantial in-kind support; the TFIC will contribute $10 000 in boating costs.
The new Waverider buoy data will complement visual estimates of sea and swell reported to the Bureau from eight locations around Tasmania.
Tasmania's coastal weather reporting network has been significantly expanded with five new automatic weather installations in 1997.

Misdiagnosis: Urinary tract infection
What it really is: Painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis)
With this chronic condition, the tissues of the bladder wall become inflamed, resulting in pelvic pain and the same symptoms as a urinary tract infection. However, unlike a UTI -- a bacterial infection that can be brought on by sex or an errant bathroom-visit wipe -- the cause of PBS is unknown. "UTIs are more common, so a lot of doctors misdiagnose the problem over the phone and just call in a prescription for antibiotics," says Charles Ascher-Walsh, MD, the director of gynecology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. The anti-inflammatory effects of the antibiotics may make you feel better temporarily if you have PBS, but they'll never clear up the real condition. On average, it takes about four years before a correct diagnosis is made.
The fix: "When you have repeat UTIs, you need to see your doctor for an exam and additional tests," Dr. Ascher-Walsh advises. Be sure to tell him how often symptoms occur as well as what seems to cause and relieve them. If he determines you have PBS, he may prescribe a medication like Elmiron, which is believed to help replenish damaged areas of the bladder wall; a tricyclic antidepressant like amitriptyline to treat the chronic pain; and/or a bladder bath, a procedure in which the doctor uses a catheter to coat your bladder with a cocktail of meds to suppress inflammation. For at-home pain relief, try soaking in a warm bath or placing a heating pad on your achy pelvis. Drinking a glass of water with a teaspoon of baking soda, which lowers urine's acidity, can also help. Some women find that certain foods and drinks spark or worsen their symptoms. "Eliminate the most common culprits: anything with caffeine -- including chocolate -- or carbonation as well as citrus and other vitamin C-rich foods," Dr. Ascher-Walsh suggests.The inside of your ankle hurts when you run or walk, and it looks a little red and swollen.
Misdiagnosis: Ankle strain or sprain
What it really is: Excessive foot pronation
With normal pronation, after your heel strikes, your foot rolls inward until it's flat on the ground. Then, when you push off to take a step, your weight shifts to the front inside of your foot and the big-toe joint. Overpronators, however, continue to roll farther to the inside as they shift their body weight. This motion puts strain on the tendons and ligaments around the ankle, causing pain that can be dull and achy at times and sharp at others.
The fix: Many specialty running stores do gait analysis, which captures your foot motion on camera as you run and indicates whether you overpronate. You can also look at the bottom of your running shoes or everyday flats to check the wear pattern: If the heels are more worn down on the inside edge, tilting inward toward the arch, you're rolling in too far with each stride. "Try orthotics or arch supports to limit pronation," says Joe Ellis, a podiatrist and the author of Running Injury-Free. Also, choose stability shoes for your workouts and whenever possible wear casual and dress shoes with firm backs for maximum support.
Misdiagnosis: Bronchitis
What it really is: Exercise-induced asthma
EIA is a no-brainer for your doc to ID if your symptoms stop when your workout ends. It gets tricky, though, if you have signs only once in a while or if the cough and fatigue last for days, which is especially common if you have allergies.
The fix: Tell your doctor about the onset and severity of symptoms, how long they last, what aggravates or alleviates them and how hard you work out. Ask her for a pulmonary function test with a methacholine challenge, which measures your lung capacity and rate of airflow, says Robert W. Jones Jr., MD, an internist and a quality-review officer at the Cleveland Clinic Medicine Institute. Although EIA is a chronic ailment, symptoms usually improve with gradual cardiovascular conditioning and the avoidance of potential triggers, such as exercising outdoors in cold weather or where there's heavy air pollution, working out on days when the pollen count is high, and swimming in chlorinated pools. You may need to puff on a quick-relief inhaler to open your airways before and sometimes during your workout. Check with your physician.
Misdiagnosis: Dehydration
What it really is: Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
It's easy for doctors to mistake hypoglycemia for dehydration in active people. Dehydration is more common, and it can trick you into thinking you're hungry. With either condition, you feel better after downing juice or a sports drink, but if your blood sugar is low, it's the sugar, not the hydration, that helps. "There's a mistaken belief that healthy people with a normal sugar metabolism cannot exercise to the point of low blood sugar, but they can," Dr. Jones says.
The fix: Keep a food and exercise diary and give your doctor a detailed history of your diet, fluid intake, and workout habits. To avoid episodes, stabilize your blood sugar by eating a snack with protein and fat, such as a banana with peanut butter, two hours before exercising. Also, sip a sports drink or energy gel every 20 to 45 minutes during workouts that last longer than an hour, Dr. Jones advises.You're feeling moody and anxious, you can't focus, and you just want to take a nap. You've also gained weight.
Misdiagnosis: Depression
What it really is: Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
When the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones, bodily functions slow down, making you feel sluggish and irritable. "I see this as having been misdiagnosed as depression in many patients who come to me," says Robert McConnell, MD, an endocrinologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia. Hypothyroidism can begin in your twenties and thirties, and it occurs after 15 to 20 percent of pregnancies, when it may be mistaken for postpartum depression. Other symptoms include increased sensitivity to cold, thinning hair, dry skin, and constipation. Your general practitioner may run only the most basic thyroid test, which isn't always accurate.
The fix: See an endocrinologist, who will conduct more sensitive tests to determine your levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and another hormone called T4. Ask her to also check your levels of free T3, free T4, total T3, reverse T3, antithyroid antibodies, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). These help diagnose a low-functioning thyroid, which is often missed by many physicians, according to the National Academy of Hypothyroidism. The condition is typically treated with thyroid hormone-replacement meds, and it takes several months for symptoms to improve.Find Out What's Really Wrong, Stat!
"Lack of time, the misguided use of technology, and poor communication are often to blame for misdiagnoses," says Robert W. Jones Jr., MD, an internist at the Cleveland Clinic Medicine Institute. Take these steps to keep mix-ups to a minimum.
Choose a doctor who spends a lot of time with you.
If your MD is overbooked, he's more likely to make a hasty call, Dr. Jones says. Search for a new one on Zocdoc.com, where you can check out reviews from other patients.
Step away from Google.
A 2012 Pew Research Center study found that 40 percent of women self-diagnosed online, and then 55 percent of them followed up with a doctor. That's dangerous because you may report only the symptoms that confirm your own assumptions. Keep a diary of all your symptoms, make a list of questions, and bring both to your appointment.
Don't skip follow-up visits.
"Doctors often need to monitor symptoms and try different treatments to make a correct diagnosis," Dr. Jones explains. "Make sure your physician is asking appropriate, probing questions about your problem and how you're responding to treatment, as well as listening to your answers and explaining the next steps in a way you understand." Don't be shy about speaking up if what he's telling you doesn't seem quite right.

Not enough to get married.
Not enough not to be fired for being who they are in most states.
Trans people aren't even allowed to serve in the military, nor use public restrooms in some places – and that number is growing.
Look at the new Arizona ordnance making it explicitly legal to discriminate against them when it wasn't before. That's unique to any minority group.
its going to be hilarious when we look back at conservatives in 10 years and see how ridiculous they were being
It was a lousy response. The right response was: there are nine states — Maryland, Vermont, New Hampshire, Iowa, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Washington and New York — where gay marriage is legal. There are numerous other states like Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arizona, Nevada, Montana and etc. where gay marriage isn't going to happen. Ever. So what about New Yorkers who are transferred to Alabama? We just assume they're back to second class citizenry?
Nature v. Nurture. If it's Nature, that's the Constitution's purpose. If it's Nurture, you are on your own in a law-abiding manner.
Only .2% of Olympic athletes in the 2012 games were gay? Outrageous!! We need congressional hearings. We need rallys. We need to boycott any country that didn't make it fair. Non-gays are discriminating against gays by being too talented at Olympic sports. We need to include more gay-friendly sports! The standards are too restrictive for gays in sports…we need to build in some compensating factors to make it fair.

Hi Cindy,
Thanks so much for the update. We were away for March Break and I didn't have internet access so I'm late in replying - sorry about that.
My sister is in Calgary but she is moving back in July. If that weren't the case, you never know, it might have worked, since I had been promising her a visit. But there is still my sister in Rosamund, so I predict our meet and mooch will be taking place in the not-so-distant future!
It seems that I have been requesting angel books almost daily. I appreciate the fact that you are willing to send Ward Cleaver alone, but as long as it is not bugging you to have it sitting around, why don't we wait until another one comes up. Also, it sounds like Third Grade might arrive eventually?
Talk to you soon,

Hi Cindy,
It was great to hear your thoughts on Peony in Love. I actually read it a few years ago and wasn't really impressed...but wondered what was wrong with me because one very well-read friend of mine has named it her favorite book ever....but I agree with you - it had lots of promise, but really stretched things by the end. I'm neither much of a romantic nor very religious, so all of the spirit stuff was not authentic, for me. Just wondered how you felt about it.
I'm currently reading Sarah's Key but I am disturbed by it. I know that I should be, but I don't usually react so strongly. Have you read it? If so, what did you think? I'm only about 1/4 of the way through.
Talk to you soon,

Hi there,
What did you think of Peony in Love? I was looking for it in your library to see how many stars you gave it, since I am catching up with things here, and was reading the "what you're reading now thread", and saw that you were reading it in September.

Hi Dadena, I'm just getting to read your post about the book that was on your WL on PBS and BM as I was on vacation. I have noticed that because autorequests don't appear in the sellers pending tab on PBS like 48 hour ones do that a lot of PBS members esp new ones miss that it is on the hour wait. This has happened to me 3 times. So.. now I never put a book on Autorequest that I really want. I think PBS should have another tab for pending autorequests or at least include them in the pending Holds tab. That little "!" on your bookshelf just doesn't seem to cut it. Theresa

Just to check it is Magic School Bus books correct not Magic Tree House? I know the two series often get mixed up in conversation.
And have fun in the great state of Texas - if you are visiting near San Antonio I can recommend some excellent bookstores to visit while you are in town as I live there.
Thanks so much for getting them for me from PBS!

Yes activity books are okay - I actually need the set {Teacher, Student, and Activity Books} and activity books are the hardest to find!
If they have a lot of writing / coloring in them {more than about a third of the book} I'll have to pass though. Some is okay - that is why they make white-out.

It really is a small world isn't it! I never did develop a taste for c*ff**, I only drink tea! Mostly loose tea, I have quite the setup in the graduate office. What is your favourite tea? Did you know we have a tea group here? Was happy when I found that out :P

Hi Cindy,
Just wanted to leave a heartfelt thanks for even trying for this other mooch - if it is a hassle just let it go... I can't seem to be able to mooch any of my wish-listed myself - or if I do they don't acknowledge me! Hope this phase changes soon...
So thanks so much!
*fingers crossed*

Yes, Cindy, condition is fine - thanks for checking!

Hi Again,
I always try to remember to tell you to please read a book first, and this time I forgot to - but yes, are you kidding me? I LOVE it when you read a book before sending it on!
It is supposed to be very good, and it hardly ever comes up on BM...so I hope you're able to snag it for us!
Talk to you soon,
P.S. While you were writing to me, I was checking out your wishlist because it has been awhile since I've sent to you. We are reading Unaccustomed Earth (Jhumpa Lahri) in the fall for my book club...so my (yet to be purchased) copy will eventually be yours, if you don't obtain a copy elsewhere first!

A third book, if you'd like to try - it is hardcover though, so if a third (and heavier) book is more trouble than it is worth for you, please feel free to let me know. It doesn't seem to be desperately wished for, so I can try to get another angel, perhaps.
Thanks so much,

Hi Cindy,
Thank you so much. I've been wanting to read "The Invisable Wall" for so long now. I hope it works out, but if not, thank you for trying :)

Hi Cindy,
Just a little reminder that "The Girls from Ames" was angel-mooched for me. Please go ahead and read it first - I bet you'll like it (or not - and then you'll warn me!).
Thanks again,

Let's give the Little House book another week if you don't mind, and go ahead and cancel the Why Do Leave's Change Color book.
Thanks so much for helping me out!

Cindy, I'm so sorry...I'll have to go back and see what happened to your e-mail...whether it never arrived or if I skipped over it (have done that before, sadly.....)
I'll drop you a longer line by e-mail, to catch up!
Sorry for the delay, and thanks for sending them "on honour" - I do appreciate it :)

Thank you so much, again!

I've reserved The Boy in the Striped Pajamas for you on BM. Mooch away!
posted by RebeccaAnn at 6:00 pm (EST) on Oct 18, 2009
Cindy! Thank you so much!
I was going to ask you directly, as I thought they might fit nicely in a flat-rate envelope, and been nice and economical. But then you may have felt obligated, even if you didn't want to get a third, so I was in a quandary. Hence I decided to post it on the thread - and it all worked out perfectly!
You are such an angel (whomever thought of that name for BookMooch had a rather clever idea)! Thank you - this is a first in a series too, so particularly pleasing.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for mooching the book on Autism. We had one copy of the book, but it was so heavily used that it's fallen to pieces!
It's for ASDfriendly (one of the BM charities) & I'll send you a smooch over the weekend. This book is going to be very helpful for a load of people! :)

Wow! How wonderful! How fast! Thank you! The cover is of no importance; as long as the words are the same (a friend of mine continualy admonishes me) and are legible. LOL! She has a point...
I feel better now; as postage is so expensive two books (at least) make the pain a little less.
posted by Lman at 7:26 pm (EST) on Oct 8, 2009
Hi Cindy,
I've found another book to help with postage - if that is still good for you, and if it is still available by the time you see this...
I haven't checked the condition in my rush to write this; and please do not worry if it is gone. To be sure, to be sure; there will be more! (I'm at work; it is Friday, and I have gone totally mad!)
So much appreciated, all this...
posted by Lman at 7:08 pm (EST) on Oct 8, 2009
P.S. (I can never seem to remember to write everything *sigh*)
BTW - if you would like to wait for me to find another mooch; so the postage costs vs points is a better ratio; please delay as I am sure another will pop up soon.
posted by Lman at 4:59 am (EST) on Oct 6, 2009
Thank you, thank you, thank you: you are the best!!
I have wanted this book for ages, and I thought I had lost another chance...and now I just may get it (until it has arrived in your hands I will not jinx it)
Hey, I just received a mooched copy of Midwives and I see you rated it highly - we share so few books. :(
At least I know one is good.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
BTW sorry about jumping into France's angel list - that was actually quite funny, as I looked at their names and thought they were a bit French, and then I realised! Talk about on automatic mode! LOL!

Thanks so much for responding. I really appreciate it. you could always ask your local library to order a copy (if they don't have one already). The book is available on Amazon.com for about $10, but since I'm hoping for a review, I didn't feel it was appropriate to expect you to buy a copy :)

Noticed you liked Ellen Foster, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also a southern story about a disturbed young girl (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more before you commit:

Alison Sweeney, Host of "The Biggest Loser"
We've shaken up the formula. One of the biggest changes: We're not at the ranch. We also have the oldest contestant ever, and there's a tremendous amount of weight loss right from the start.You lost a lot of weight yourself. How did you do it?
Mostly by being honest about what I was eating. When I started to catalog my food, I realized I was filling up on carbs and sweets. Now salad is my favorite healthy food, though I do still love pizza!What makes you feel most body-confident?
When I'm proud of how I'm living. Sometimes it's fun to have dessert or sleep in and miss a workout. When I choose healthy food and exercise, I always feel better for it.What's your workout routine?
I try to fit in at least three days of cardio a week and two or three days of resistance training or yoga. I have little rules for myself. I'm not allowed to watch Grey's Anatomy or The Office unless I'm on the exercise bike or the treadmill.Are you inspired by the contestants on the show?
The 18 men and women have lost an incredible amount of weight, and they're so supportive of each other. It makes you root for them.What's your best piece of weight-loss advice?
Do it for yourself! It you're trying to lose weight for your husband or mother, it won't work. Make your goal to be healthy, not skinny.
Originally published in FITNESS magazine, September 2007.

Woking Shopping Centre has launched its first ever gift card scheme providing shoppers with the perfect gift solution.
The convenient, easy-to-use gift cards can be accepted by any of the 70 top name stores including Debenhams, TK Maxx and Primark as well as selected eateries and has been designed to operate similarly to a pre-paid debit card.
John-Paul Jackson, Centre manager at Woking said: "We are excited about the continued development of our gift card scheme which offers visitors a great way to shop. "
"Our gift card solves many gift-giving dilemmas for Birthdays, Special Occasions, Anniversaries or simply just a Thank you gift, by providing friends and family with the freedom to pick from a vast range of stores within Woking without confining them to one particular store or product type.
Ease of use is the most obvious benefit the Woking Shopping gift card provides. Once purchased, the card can be used like any other Visa or Mastercard payment card until the funds are completely spent.
Gift Cards are available from the Woking Shopping Gift Kiosks located outside River Island on the Town Mall level of the centre and outside our Sainsbury's store in Wolsey Place.

Maxi-mizing the wardrobe this summer
Everywhere I go this summer, I see maxi dresses left and right.

The annual Royal Ascot, a high point in the world of horse racing, has become as much about the fashion as about the horses.

Just another bloke who loves life. I quit at my job because I got depressed with it. Have finished audio engineering study, and worked as a sound engineer, but at one point I have realized that there is a lot more of a traveller in me than an audio engineer. I can give more as a traveler to another human being, then I was able to give while I was unhappy with my previous work. Next project will take place at 79 degrees north - walking Svalbard in early springtime 2011 or 2012, with sleds and two dogs. I look for a companion for that project.
I am in love with northern parts of our planet. It's beauty is so deep and quiet I will always come back to it. Traveling the world enriches the soul and soothes the mind. When people don't meet, stereotype attidudes exist, which are not confirmed by anything. They merely exist. I know that well, coming from a country that has seen a lot of hatred and war. I use all of my knowledge and abilites in order to travel as much as I would love to.

It really should not work.
For a play that hasn't been produced yet, "Rough Patch" sure has been on the road a lot.
Boys on the beach will be wearing eye-popping prints-aplenty with their dude's swim duds...including Op-Art, geometric-abstracts and photo-kitsch. That's what we saw at SwimShow, the largest swimwear trade show in the world staged by the Swimwear Association of Florida at the Miami...

Just because the thermometer here in South Florida is in the high 80s (higher if you factor in the humidity) doesn't mean it's too soon to start thinking about fall/winter fashion.
It takes a village to pull off a wedding. In that respect, same-sex marriage ceremonies are no different. So on Sunday, Aug. 17 there was a Gay Nuptials Showcase in the Hagen Park Community Center in Wilton Manors that was organized by Bobby Kyser, owner of floral design and event planning firm...

I make 15000 /hr flaging spam
then stop watching videos on break. no one forced you to log onto break and watch videos... I don't come to ur job and complain about the Bigmac I ordered..
I just realized its fake
And they have the cheek to say Brits are dumb
i have exactly some hours to spare.
his sistr?
So fake. Look at the position of the suitcase relative to the skateboard after it hits the tree then look at it again after the video cut...not even close.
video is fake. how many times did it have to split.. video... why cudnt it b one single recording... fake
His shins hit the tree yet he's holding his head.
It's obviously fake. you can see the cut right after they shut the top of the suitcase. There is no one in the case as its rolling down the hill.
What is that creature @ 00:33...
Spiccoli @ 0:34??
this guy should be president
Fake, fake, fake, break.
You are going to die and it'll be so great, dude!
I wish there was commonly known terminology I could use to relate that this video was fake and gay.
I spied a hippy hipster!
I hope you die soon
it took until he was in the suitcase to realize it was a bad idea?
wait.... was that Jay from "Clerks"
so funly to meet dreamlover come to our single club wwwrichmeetingcom
good jorb.
WTF!! THEY TOOK 2G's FROM ME!!!
wow.. srsly what ever they wanted to sell they should of got better actors.
you should "of" stayed in school
that was in fact not classic
i might have believed it if there wasn't any camera changes.
I can't decide what's worse - the spam comments, the fake videos, the videos that aren't synced with the sound or all of the above. I think this one wins for all of the above.
obvious camera angle changes are obvious
obviously they are obvious.
Americans, you know what to do, please kill them.
hmm, fake..
At the end of the video you can see blood on his back.
UPS fired these kids the next day
what a sack of shit
real and gay!
I went to that website and they stole $2,000 from my bank account.
I went to that website and within ten minutes the bank took my house.
Holy sh*t thats actually a dude in the hat!?
If your going to fake a stunt, at least find a spot that gets more than a foot of air.
so he gets in feet first and then " hit his head on the tree or something." weak and totally fake
Omg. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED!
wow this is so incredibly fake! and those kids are total boner fags.
fake and gay
