Hugs to both of you. This is a long, tough, journey. Get help for yourself.
As a betrayed, I can tell you that the symptoms are similar and the feelings that go with them are close as well.
The sense of overwhelming loss of self, paralyzing sadness and 'learned helplessness' all fit.
No, it's not PTSD. But it can be difficult to tell the difference sometimes.

The VA is a great resource for both PTSD as well as family/ marital counceling. The right councelor is a valuable resource because thy have an extremely diverse exposure to PTSD.
I would suggest researching resources at the va a social worker will be your greatest ally.
I have had nothing but good experience with the va resources.
Good luck.

I just got my intake paperwork for a therapist and it sucks that on the initial assessment I can answer "Extremely bothered" to almost every single assessment question.
Nervousness or shakiness, feeling sad or blue, heart pounding or racing, feeling hopeless about the future, feeling everything is an effort, spells of terror or panic, feelings of worthlessness, feeling no interest in things.
Yes, yes, yes to all of the above.
I am glad to say that it ultimately resolved once our marriage healed, but that was after treading a hard road for a few years.

Married 11/05/2007-present.
Dday: June 2009
Working through it.
My IC mentioned possible PTSD, but I'm thinking it was anxiety. For about 5 months after DD (during S), I has insomnia and night terrors.
During the day I sometime felt my heart would leap out of my chest and I had a couple of panic attacks (that was honestly the worst part). A few times legs would buckle and I'd lose my balance (twice I had to grab onto a table to not fall over). I lost 30 pounds in about 2 months (putting me underweight on BMI) and my hair started falling out (and did for about a year).
and while I think this was anxiety attack rather than PTSD, it was HORRIBLE.
PTSD develops after a terrifying ordeal that involved physical harm or the threat of physical harm. The person who develops PTSD may have been the one who was harmed, the harm may have happened to a loved one, or the person may have witnessed a harmful event that happened to loved ones or strangers.
PTSD was first brought to public attention in relation to war veterans, but it can result from a variety of traumatic incidents, such as mugging, rape, torture, being kidnapped or held captive, child abuse, car accidents, train wrecks, plane crashes, bombings, or natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes

PTSD affects about 7.7 million American adults, but it can occur at any age, including childhood. Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men, and there is some evidence that susceptibility to the disorder may run in families.
Anyone can get PTSD at any age. This includes war veterans and survivors of physical and sexual assault, abuse, accidents, disasters, and many other serious events.
Not everyone with PTSD has been through a dangerous event. Some people get PTSD after a friend or family member experiences danger or is harmed. The sudden, unexpected death of a loved one can also cause PTSD.

Latest from NIMH. I would contend that an affair constitutes abuse or other serious event.
Risk factors for PTSD include:
Living through dangerous events and traumas
Having a history of mental illness
Getting hurt
Seeing people hurt or killed
Feeling horror, helplessness, or extreme fear
Having little or no social support after the event
Dealing with extra stress after the event, such as loss of a loved one, pain and injury, or loss of a job or home.
Also from the National Institute for Mental Health. The last three might sound familiar to many of the BS here. The definition you are using is outdated. I mean no disrespect, but there are other causes for PTSD.
A little background. I am a Critical Incident Stress Debriefer. I'm the guy who the firefighters and cops talk to after an *incident*. Actually anyone who has been through a major trauma, either as a witness or a *participant*. I personally had a 19 yo girl die in my arms from a flailed chest/severed arm. I pinched the axillary closed with my fingers for the 30 minute ambulance ride to the hospital.
I haven't been on the sharp end, but I think I can talk PTSD. Believe me, a BS can suffer PTSD.
ETA littlemrsV0813 sorry for the t/j. Yes, of course you can suffer PTSD.

As an infidelity "survivor" I've experienced the flashbacks, the panic attacks and the deep depression but I don't believe this to be PTSD, coming back from deployments I've had issues with settling back in, again I don't believe this to be PTSD. I am however responding in a normal way to difficult situations.
I understand the need to label our responses, it neatens things up, makes s normal, relatable and fixable but I've also seen first hand true PTSD and am wary of labelling a traumatic response as such.

Thank you,

Post infidelity Stress Disorder (I agree that this IS a great book) appears not to be widely accepted as an actual condition, that requires a specific course of treatment, and since the symptoms mirror PTSD, it makes sense to me that many BS's are diagnosed with this.
Traumatic situations are in of themselves...NOT normal. That's what makes it traumatic. They way in which one person is traumatized, does not diminish that of the other.
Trauma is trauma, and worrying about whose PTSD is legitimate and whose isn't, seems counterproductive. If a person has been evaluated and diagnosed by a professional, and are getting an effective treatment because of it, I find that to be a positive, as they have a well laid out plan with the proper support, to aid their healing.
May anyone on this journey find peace and healing.
Everyone is different. What everyone will experience is different. How everyone reacts to a situation is different. No one can predict who will get PTSD symptoms and who won't. It is not fully understood. There are now other categories such as Complex post-traumatic stress disorder or multiple interrelated post traumatic stress disorder; or Continuous Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Personally, I had unresolved past traumas that didn't get addressed at the time, because they weren't a big problem for me at the time. Instead, they festered under the surface and compounded the next and, the last straw so to speak was my husband's affair. I could no longer cope. I needed help -- big time. I benefited greatly from EMDR therapy. I don't know where I would be right now without it. It is used primarily in the treatment of PTSD.
I'm glad my IC recognized what was happening and could help me. I highly recommend EMDR for any BS. If you are experiencing these symptoms. Get help. It is out there. Don't get hung up on a label and wondering if it's 'real' or not. If you are experiencing it -- it's real.
I think he was upset that I seemed to focus more on my issues than his when we attended the family day which was meant to be supportive for him and his needs as a veteran suffering g from PTSD. It made him feel invalidated hence his post here. Just thought I would explain.
I agree that the PTSD definition does not really fit what us BS experience as it relates more to physical threat/harm.
HOWEVER, I do NOT think that minimizes in anyway shape or form what we suffer. It is a form of post trauma stress, but I can see why 3 different vets on this forum have disagreed- I certainly did not mean to minimize their suffering or compare the two. They are DIFFERENT forms of suffering but neither should trivialitize the other.

I could see smell taste and hear all that happened on those events. I would be sitting at my desk and talking to a client and tears would run down my face flashbacks are like being in 2 places at one time and they are horrid.
I'm trying to remind myself that we all perceive life differently and yes I agree finding out about WHs infidelity is the worst trauma I have ever experienced, seconded by a miscarriage I suffered last summer. The miscarriage was horrific and I thought it was the worst thing that ever happened to me... Then dday #2 happened this summer and I am totally destroyed.
But someone different could have my same experiences and felt them differently, I don't know. What's important is how I feel and that doesn't really prove "cheating is worse than losing a baby for everyone". For me it was.
So I'm trying to respect what our vets have been through and not get into a comparison game.
A person who has been betrayed and now has PTSD is just that..a person who has been betrayed. It doesn't take anything away from a soldier who has PTSD. Both can suffer from the same disorder.
I think it's possible that a WS, who for whatever reason, suffers with PTSD maybe doesn't want to acknowledge that what they did could cause their spouse to have PTSD. They don't want to believe that their actions could cause something like that. But they can. And they do.
I was diagnosed with PTSD and MDD shortly after dday#2. I can assure you my symptoms are very,very real.
[This message edited by confused615 at 9:40 AM, November 20th (Wednesday)]
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
I've pulled dead bodies out, watched fellow shipmates die. Never was I traumatized like I was on DDay.
That's pretty much where I am. I've seen combat on three continents. I saw it go well, and I saw it go real, real bad. Watching the love of my life kiss another man was without question the worst thing I have ever experienced.

My back's been a mess lately. I sit too much, I travel too much and I haven't been doing enough yoga, as hard as I try. I recently splurged on a laptop stand and external keyboard (thanks, Black Friday!) to lessen the amount of leaning-over-laptop-at-desk that I do, but it's pretty obvious I need some better self-care. (Now that I'm freelancing, massages have become so much more expensive – sigh.)
So when Toronto chiropractor Michael Cohen invited me up to his office near Lawrence West station to test out his Acuball, I was more than ready. Cohen developed the Acuball as a sort of upgraded version of rolling on tennis balls for relief of muscle tension. It's a pretty cool little device – the small one is a couple of inches in diameter and softly spiky all around, while the larger one is like two semi-spheres stuck together with an extra band (which makes it easier to roll on your spine, something tennis balls won't do.) The coolest part? The large Acuball can be heated in the microwave and will stay warm as you use it.
Cohen showed me how to use the Acuball in a number of different ways. First, he recommends placing it behind the lumbar spine as you sit at work (see picture) in order to preserve the natural curve of the back. (Did you know your spine is supposed to curve when you sit and stand?) Second, the small Acuball is a yummy self-massage tool for feet (roll it on the floor with the sole of your foot and some weight on it), arms and back (place between the sore body part and a wall and roll against it).
Best of all, the large Acuball – warm it first – makes lying on the floor a whole new experience. We started with it under the neck (another natural curve of the spine) while lying on our backs, with the knees bent and feet flat into the floor. At first, the Acuball seems invasive – the body kind of tenses against the pressure of the ball. But then, you release and sink into it, and the heat starts to penetrate the muscle. Cohen recommends lying in each position on the Acuball for three minutes before moving so that muscles have time to properly release. (Under the lumbar spine, as in the diagram, is another good position.)
After the session, I definitely felt my muscles were more relaxed, especially my glutes, which are constantly tight and hard to release in any way other than massage. There was a bit of residual pain in my upper back that I attribute to the fact that that's my problem area right now – those muscles must have been especially tight.
You can buy the Acuballs individually or as a kit for $60 that includes an instruction book and DVD. They're available from Cohen's website or at various retailers and yoga studios. I for one will be heading to Noah's or the Big Carrot asap to pick up a kit and give my back some more TLC.
What should I try next? Tell me in the comments.
Forget flashlights – for the loved one on your list who's a fan of the outdoors or a frequent traveller, a headlamp is the way to go. For one thing, it can be used hands-free, whether it's actually strapped around the head or hung around the neck. For another, the batteries last longer – and most models allow you to toggle between different settings, including red light, for various lighting needs.
This Cosmo model is available at mec.ca for $28, but you can certainly spend more: the Sprinter ($75), designed for running in the dark, has minimal bounce and a rear red strobe for visibility; Petzl's Ultra Belt lamp, at $475, is for serious outdoor enthusiasts who'll appreciate 120 metres of visibility – one online reviewer says that "even on the lowest setting this light is better than anything I have used."
74 percent of Canadians say they would prefer to receive a gift that would help someone else, according to a 2011 Harris/Decima survey commissioned by World Vision – yet only 23 percent report having received one. Help the numbers grow by giving a gift that gives more than once to the people on your list, like these three picks. (Browse the organizations' websites for more information and more ways to give.)
World Vision: Educate a Girl in Need, $60
This makes a perfect present for young girls and teens on your gift list, who have a keen sense of injustice and would be thrilled to help a girl in another country go to school rather than be forced to stay at home – often just because her family can't afford books, supplies or a school uniform.
Kiva: Kiva Cards, $25 and up
Kiva works with microfinance organizations around the world to lend people small sums of money to help them develop businesses and increase their earnings. With a $25 gift card, the recipient can visit kiva.org and choose who to lend money to, whether it's a vegetable seller in Tanzania or a clothing salesperson in Kenya. Best yet? When the loan is repaid, your giftee can re-lend the $25 to another person who needs a hand up.
Women for Women: Wheelbarrow, $35
Women for women helps women survivors of war and other strife by giving them skills training, financial aid and education in rights and leadership to help them move forward for themselves and their communities. A wheelbarrow seems like a small thing, but it can help women grow more food for their families and for sale.
I round out a lot of meals with a smoothie. Grilled cheese and smoothie. Big salad and smoothie. Bowl of cereal and smoothie. Popcorn and smoothie. Smoothie and smoothie.
You see, popcorn and cereal, as much as we want them to, don't make a healthy meal. But throw in a smoothie and suddenly it's well-rounded – at least, that's what I like to think. But especially if it's a green smoothie – a blend of fruits with leafy green vegetables, such as kale.
And the thing about blending kale is you really need a good blender. I mean, a hardcore blender. I used to have a Braun blender that was very good for its price range, but couldn't handle most greens – it blended baby spinach fine, but anything more than that ended up in little pieces rather than completely ground down. So I was super excited to upgrade to a BlendTec, one of two "high-speed" blender brands (the other is Vitamix) that dominate the market. (Some people have opinions on BlendTec vs. Vitamix, but all I know is the BlendTec, so I can't comment on which may be better.) Now, I don't know how I ever lived without it – I use it almost every day.
This is a serious blender. It sounds like it, too – you can't exactly have a conversation while it's running. But it's amazing what it will blend. For one thing, you need a lot less liquid to keep a mixture moving, meaning it's fantastic for puddings, dips and faux creams (like blending up almonds or cashews to make a whipped cream alternative). For another, it makes the best green smoothies ever.
My go-to recipe is half a pineapple, a cup or so of frozen mango, one or two bananas, a couple of cups of kale, stems removed, 1/4 cup of hemp seeds and a scoop of protein powder, with enough water to blend and make the right consistency. (It's based on the tropical green at Rawlicious.) It comes out a vivid green due to the yellow fruit (green smoothies with darker/red fruit aren't very pretty) and is a tasty way to get your greens.
I have a few more smoothie recipes on my food blog:
• Creamy vegan orange-mango smoothie
• Acorn squash smoothie
• Roasted peach and matcha smoothie
The season of gluttony is upon us, combined with dark nights and chilly days that make us want to curl up under a blanket till spring. (That's not just me, right?) Do the math and for a lot of us, that adds up to a couple of extra pounds – not a big deal until you do it every year and don't take them off again. (Two pounds a year times 10 years makes an extra 20 pounds 10 years from now. Scary, isn't it?)
Losing weight is hard, so this year, let's vow to avoid putting it on in the first place. Here are six tips from registered dietitian Jyotika Desai, nutrition specialist at Nestlé Canada, to help you stay on track with eating well.
1. Be picky
"Choose quality over quantity," says Desai. "Choose a few of your favourite dishes and be mindful of portion sizes." Rather than agonizing over every treat you eat, make sure you fully enjoy everything you put in your mouth, and don't waste calories on junk.
2. Go for the greens
Start with a salad (light on the dressing) so you get some fibre and nutrients in your belly before hitting the heavier options on the table, and if you still feel like picking after your first plateful, stick with the bright-coloured vegetables. "Fill your plate with fruits and veggies, which are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and fibre," Desai says.
3. Bring a healthy option
Heading to a potluck? Pack a super-healthy favourite dish that you know you can fill up on guilt-free. "If you're looking for some healthy choices, it's likely that others are, too," says Desai. "This ensures you'll have something tasty and healthy that you'll enjoy."
4. Eat a snack
Instead of heading to a party when you're ravenous, have a quick snack such as an apple or carrot sticks before you leave the house. "Snacking before you go out will keep you from feeling ravenous and overindulging at the party," Desai says.
5. Use smaller dishes
Always serve yourself on the smallest dish available – and this goes for glasses, too. "Studies have shown that the smaller the plate or cup, the less likely you are to overeat," says Desai.
6. Get active
"Planning in advance is key," says Desai. "If you know you're going to be indulging, squeeze in a workout beforehand." Bonus: Research shows that working out helps you exercise better self-control – meaning you'll not just burn calories, but eat better, too.
I'll go for runs by myself – and even run up and down stairs until I'm bright red. I'll go to yoga classes as often as possible. But do you think I can do a single biceps curl at home, even though I have free weights, fancy Lululemon exercise bands and a yoga mat perpetually rolled out on the living-room floor? Nope. Doesn't happen.
I just can't self-motivate when it comes to strength training.
So when I was invited to join a backyard kettlebells class with instructor Deborah Brewster, I couldn't say no. My muscles would have preferred that I say no, but my brain overruled them. And that's how I ended up swinging a kettlebell around at noon on a Saturday until my entire body wanted to collapse on the ground.
I'm kind of lazy, but not generally in front of a group – my pride tends to keep me going. (If you believe in astrology, you can blame it on my being a Leo.) So group classes have always been my go-to for strength training. Not only do I not have to think, but the motivation's built in – and unlike personal training, you don't have to suffer under your instructor's undivided attention. Best of both worlds.
And Deborah's class was a good one. Since a few of us were new to the bells, she had us switching around for different exercises so that we used the perfect weight. We worked through drills with upper body, lower body and abs, along with some high-knees running in place and a few "suicide sprints" (don't they sound like fun?). While some exercises involved moving the kettlebell around, like swinging it in circles from left hand to right hand around your body, others had it held in place as we did exercises like V sit-ups (the kind where you back doesn't touch the ground) and lunges. Okay, we were meant to be pressing the kettlebell up as we did the lunges, but all I could do at that point was hold it at my shoulder and hope not to let go.
After about six months of not lifting a single weight (other than my body weight in a few light climbing sessions and in yoga classes), it's not surprising that this workout completely wiped me out and had my muscles screaming the next day. As for how kettlebells compare to free weights, I think the biggest thing for a beginner is that you're learning new moves, which challenges your muscles in new ways – meaning it's definitely a better workout. The bells also allow you to do different kinds of exercises than you can safely do with free weights. And most important, they let you know how weak you really are, which is why I'll be back for more punishment.
It's no secret that when we're tired, we look, well, tired. One major reason is that a good night's sleep helps our skin regenerate – so when we don't get enough, it shows. (I for one always break out when I've missed too much shut-eye.) "During sleep, the skin's metabolic rate speeds up and many of the body's cells show increased production and reduced breakdown of proteins," says Dr. Sandy Skotnicki, medical director of Bay Dermatology Centre, assistant professor at the University of Toronto and a spokesperson for Jergens. "Therefore cell regeneration is enhanced and blood flow is increased, and this allows for better assimilation of cosmetic active ingredients."
For your best skin, Skotnicki recommends at least eight hours of sleep a night, and suggests the following tips for better rest:
1. Go to bed at the same time each night if possible.
2. Don't exercise before bedtime.
3. In winter, run a cool mist humidifier or increase the central humidity on your heating.
4. Moisturize your face and body at night as the skin is more receptive to cosmetic ingredients due to increase regeneration and blood flow. (Skotnicki recommends the new Jergens Overnight Fix Nightly Restoring Moisturizer on your body.)
5. Do not drink alcohol before bedtime.
How much sleep do you get every night, and is it enough? What do you do when you need more sleep?
Lacy sleep mask by Canadian company Cilque
Knock on wood, I haven't had a cold yet this winter, but it's inevitable at some point. And while I used to pop the cold pills all the time, lately, I find that decongestants make me feel awful and I save them for the worst of days, when I have to be out and about.
But ditching the drugs doesn't have to mean feeling awful – there are ways to feel better. Number one, in my books? Take care of yourself: take a day off, sleep in, have a nap, have your s.o. pick up healthy takeout. Here are some more tips from Ernest Chow, professional services manager at Walmart Canada. With, um, my comments in brackets, because apparently I have a lot to say.
• Take a steamy shower or use a cool mist humidifier to help keep your nasal passages moisturized. [Steam also is nice for a congested chest. I like to pour just-boiled water in a bowl and put my face over it under a towel and breathe the steam for a few minutes.]
• Drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated. [Fresh-made carrot-orange-ginger juice is my favourite.]
• Try saline nasal sprays or drops to help moisturize your nose and improve your nasal passages. [Has anyone tried this? I'm also working up the courage to try a neti pot – any tips?]
• For a sore throat, try gargling with warm salt water. Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water and gargle four times daily. [This is the suggestion my parents always gave me as a teenager and I always ignored. Now that I'm older and wiser I've realized it really works.]
• Drink hot liquids such as herbal teas to help soothe the throat, chest and nose and prevent dehydration. [Try making ginger tea: Pour just-boiled water over grated fresh ginger and steep. It's really nice mixed with the juice of a lemon and a spoonful of honey.]
• Chicken soup might have a mild anti-inflammatory effect, and can also help keep you hydrated. [I don't eat chickens, but any broth soup makes me feel better. I love the vegetarian black bean soup at Tacos el Asador in Toronto.]

Coping With Excessive Sleepiness
By the time people with sleep problems come to the Penn Sleep Centers at the University of Pennsylvania, many of them are no longer sleeping with their spouses.
"People who have trouble sleeping often develop elaborate routines over time," says Phil Gehrman, PhD, CBSM, assistant professor of psychiatry and clinical director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine program at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. "They become very sensitive to anything they think might threaten their sleep. And one of the things that can disturb sleep is a bed partner."
Not surprisingly, sleeping in separate beds or bedrooms doesn't usually bode well for a marriage. And that's just one of the ways that chronic sleep loss can take a toll on people's family, work, sex, and social lives.
No Sex, Please -- We're Sleep Deprived
Sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss can hit the sack hard in another area: sex. Both Gehrman and Allison T. Siebern, PhD, a fellow in the Insomnia and Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at the Stanford University Sleep Medicine Center, say sleep-deprived men and women report problems with sex.
"Lack of sleep can lead to low energy, fatigue, and sleepiness," says Siebern. "This may affect libido and/or decrease interest in sex."
Robert Thayer, PhD, a professor of psychology at California State University in Long Beach and a mood researcher, believes that the combination of low energy and increased tension caused by lack of sleep -- a situation he calls "tense tiredness" -- can also lead to sexual dysfunction.
"People who experience tense tiredness are too anxious to relax," Thayer says. "Tension and anxiety are very basic to sexual dysfunction most of the time. That increases as energy decreases."
Sleep Apnea and Men's Libido
Men with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), an inability to breathe properly during sleep, commonly report low libidos and sexual activity. This may be because OSA may be associated with lower testosterone levels in some men. A 2002 study of men at the Technion Sleep Laboratory in Israel found that nearly half of those who suffered from severe sleep apnea also secreted abnormally low levels of testosterone during the night.
Sleepy and Grumpy: How Personal Relationships Are Affected
Sleep loss can make you quarrelsome and less able to cope with life's ups and downs. "Patients with sleep disorders often report mood changes such as increased irritability or frustration," says Siebern. "This can impact their interactions with spouses, children, and friends."
Parents who don't get enough sleep commonly worry that they are not spending enough time with their children or engaging with them enough because of fatigue, Siebern adds.
Unfortunately, the time of day when mood problems tend to be worse may also be the time of day when your children return from school or you have alone time with your spouse. "As people are increasingly sleep starved, they suffer from lack of energy late in the afternoon or evening," Thayer says. "They become more vulnerable to tension, anxiety, and stress at those times."
According to the Sleep Disorders Institute, people with insomnia -- an inability to fall asleep or stay asleep long enough to be rested -- say they have a difficult time dealing with even minor stress. They also have more problems relating to other people in social and work settings than those without insomnia. Some research shows that people with insomnia generally have a lower quality of life than people who do not have sleep difficulties.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE :: Diagnosing Heart Disease
What is an electrocardiogram (ECG)?
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is one of the simplest and fastest procedures used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches) are placed at certain locations on your child's chest, arms, and legs. When the electrodes are connected to the ECG machine by lead wires, the electrical activity of your child's heart is measured, interpreted, and printed out for the physician's information and further interpretation.
Why is an ECG performed?
The electrical activity of the heart is measured by an electrocardiogram. By placing electrodes at specific locations on the body (chest, arms, and legs), a graphic representation, or tracing, of the electrical activity can be obtained. Changes in an ECG from the normal tracing can indicate one, or more, of several heart-related conditions.
Some medical conditions which may cause changes in the ECG pattern include, but are not limited to, the following:
This list is presented as an example. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all conditions which may cause changes in the ECG pattern.
The heart's electrical conduction system:
The heart is, in the simplest terms, a pump made up of muscle tissue. Like all pumps, the heart requires a source of energy in order to function. The heart's pumping action comes from a built-in, electrical, conduction system.
An electrical stimulus is generated by the sinus node (also called the sinoatrial node, or SA node), which is a small area of specialized tissue located in the right atrium (right upper chamber) of the heart. Under normal conditions, the sinus node generates an electrical stimulus every time the heart beats (60 to 190 times per minute, depending on the age of the child and his/her activity level). This electrical stimulus travels down through the conduction pathways (similar to the way electricity flows through power lines from the power plant to your house) and causes the heart's lower chambers to contract and pump out blood. The right and left atria (the two upper chambers of the heart) are stimulated first and contract a short period of time before the right and left ventricles (the two lower chambers of the heart).
The electrical impulse then travels from the sinus node to the atrioventricular (AV) node, where impulses are slowed down for a very short period, and continues down the conduction pathway via the bundle of His into the ventricles. The bundle of His divides into right and left pathways to provide electrical stimulation to both ventricles.
Normally, the electrical impulse moves through the heart's conduction system, and the heart contracts. Each contraction of the ventricles represents one heartbeat. The atria contract a fraction of a second before the ventricles so their blood empties into the ventricles before the ventricles contract.
An ECG may also be performed for other reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:
How does the physician know what an ECG means?
Almost everyone knows what a basic ECG tracing looks like. But what does it mean?
When your child's physician studies your child's ECG, he/she looks at the size and length of each part of the ECG. Variations in size and length of the different parts of the tracing may be significant. The tracing for each lead of a 12-lead ECG will look different, but will have the same basic components as described above. Each lead of the 12-lead is "looking" at a specific part of the heart, so variations in a lead may indicate a problem with the part of the heart associated with the lead.
What is the procedure for an ECG?
An ECG can be performed almost anywhere, as the equipment is very compact and portable.

Anthony Hood, PhD, Assistant Professor in the UAB
Collat School of Business,
Department of Management, Information Systems and Quantitative Methods was one of this year's
Community Health Innovation Award
winners. His project,
Inhabit Bush Hills,
is a collaborative effort with his wife, Robin Hood.
Inhabit Bush Hills is an effort to create a "Craigslist"–style database of empty and abandonded properties and their conditions in Birmingham's Bush Hills neighborhood. The project received $15,000 in funding from the Community Health Innovation Awards, sponsored in part by the UAB CCTS.
Caption: Eric Jack, Dean of the UAB Collat School of Business, congratulates Dr. Anthony Hood and Robin Hood
Next week, on Thursday, February 13, Dr. Hood will take part in the CCTS'
Professional Skills Training Program
when he co-presents a talk on "Team Science" with Dr. Grant Savage, also in the Collat School of Business.
Dr. Hood spoke with the UAB CCTS about he and his wife's project, "Inhabit Bush Hills."
How did you hear about the CHIA awards?
Dr. Anthony Hood: Because innovation is a focal point of much my research, teaching and service activities, I try to stay abreast of anything related to innovation in and around UAB. I considered applying last year when I saw the emails via the Campus reporter and CCTS digest, but didn't feel the timing was right.
What made you decide to apply for the awards?
As a trainee in the MHRC's Health Disparities training program, I had been actively looking for an
opportunity to explore my research, teaching and service interests in the health context. This seemed like a great way to do it. Moreover, our involvement with the neighborhood association and block watch group helps keep us current on the challenges and opportunities facing our community.
Provide a short description of your project or the idea behind it, and why you felt it was well suited for the CHIA process?
As with many of the 99 neighborhoods in the City of Birmingham, the Bush Hills neighborhood faces a number of challenges such as overgrown lots and foreclosed and abandoned homes. These factors threaten the overall health of our community and neighbors. Vacant properties pose a public safety hazard by being a potential safe haven for criminals, arsonists and truant children. They also have a negative impact on property values. Living next to a vacant property in many ways can be more undesirable than living next to a property occupied by a bad neighbor.
Our project offers a solution to the community health concerns caused by vacant properties in the form of an asset management system. We take the approach that one cannot manage what is not measured--and what gets measured gets accomplished. To our knowledge, there is no central reporting agency that maintains accurate and reliable data regarding the number of vacant properties in our neighborhood, who owns them, why they are vacant, or owners' intentions regarding the future of the property. Moreover, of those properties that are occupied, valid data is missing regarding whether the property is occupied by the property owner or someone else (e.g. renters, extended family, etc). We believe this dearth of information perpetuates vacancy and hinders efforts of our neighborhood stakeholders and community servants such police, fire, medical, public health, neighborhood associations, education board, and city council members. We want to help these members serve us better.
We proposed the development of a Community Asset Inventory database for the Bush Hills Community. This database will be a complete listing of all properties located in our neighborhood accompanied with information such as: Jeff County Property ID #, vector coordinates, picture of property, owner's name, address, telephone, email, disposition of property (i.e. owned, rented, lot, for sale), and occupant's information.
What will the CHIA funding allow you to do that you weren't able to do otherwise on your project?
he CHIA funds will allow us to purchase subscriptions to data sources and allow us to hire research
ssistants to help with gathering, coding, analyzing and reporting data. We hope to increase interaction and engagement between residents and stakeholders by investing in the development and maintenance of online social media communities. Finally, we also plan to convene meetings of community stakeholders to foster shared understanding and cooperation regarding who knows and does what in our community.
What would you ultimately like to see your project do?
By documenting our successes and iterations, we intend to build a scalable and replicable model that can assist with monitoring and reducing vacancy rates in the other 98 Birmingham neighborhoods. T
he CHIA process reiterated in my mind UAB's commitment to having a positive impact on the City of Birmingham.

It is now revealed why Davey Grant's proposed fight with Roland Delorme Saturday night has been cancelled, with the TUF 18 runner-up deemed 'too injured' to compete, per MMAFighting's Ariel Helwani in an interview with UFC president Dana White. The injury in question was suffered some time ago, but as MRI results were only released today, the UFC decided to take action after seeing the extent to which Grant was hurt.
Grant reportedly tried his utmost to convince the UFC to give the fight the go-ahead, after weighing in for the fight just a day before the fight was set to take place. The former TUF competitor made weight, but will not compete.
Ariel Helwani also reports that both fighters will receive their win show money, but they will both have to wait a little while longer to fight inside the Octagon once again. Both Delorme and Grant were on the losing in their last Octagon appearances, to Alex Caceres and Chris Holdsworth respectively. The bantamweight tilt was set for the preliminary card of Saturday's event, but – in typical UFC fashion – it shouldn't be long before they will get the chance to get back in the win column.
It is yet to be determined whether Grant's injury is serious enough for surgery, and if so Delorme will likely receive a different opponent for an upcoming card. With the UFC set to stage an event in Delorme's native Canada in just over a month's time, this seems like the most likely outcome after this unfortunate incident.
This last minute fight cancellation marks the second in a row for the UFC, after Zak Cummings came into his fight at the TUF China Finale 8 lbs overweight and his opponent, Alberto Mina, did not accept to meet at a catchweight.

Green Lake (Grüner See) in Styria, Austria, is an amazing place. For half of the year, it's an underwater village with fish swimming through the branches of trees, a floor covered in grass, benches and bridges.
For the other half, it is over ground. In the frozen winter months the area is almost completely dry and is a favorite site for hikers. As the temperature begins to rise in spring, the ice and snow on the mountaintops begins to melt and runs down into the basin of land below. The waters are at their highest in June when it becomes a mecca for divers keen to explore the rare phenomenon.

My Car is Leaking Oil - Now What?
When you discover that your car has an oil leak you must quickly find where the oil is leaking from. Oil leaks can happen in many places and it can be challenging to find a difficult oil leak in your engine compartment.
Common places to check for an oil leak
- Do you have worn pistons and rings?
- Is there a bad or worn gaskets?
- Did you secure the oil plug properly?
- Was the oil plug worn or damaged?
- How is the oil filter attached?
- Is the oil filter gasket missing?
- Do you have high oil pressure? This could be a bad one…
- Are the oil coolant lines corroded or leaking?
Now that you have some of the possible issues listed it is time to get busy. Here are some ways to detect an oil leak
First, open the hood and look for an obvious oil leak. Yes, it sounds over simplified, but basic troubleshooting will tell you to check the simple things first. Look at any area where pieces are connected together. If there is a bolt holding two metal pieces together, there is probably a gasket between them. Gaskets are common places oil can leak from so look for a few minutes to find as many as you can and wipe each area clean with a rag, shop towels, or paper towels. See our certified car part inventory for affordable auto parts replacements.
Next, clean each of the possible areas that could have an oil leak. The areas must be cleaned so you can see bare metal. Check each area daily to see if any new oil is building up. Look at the lines between engine parts. Look at the oil filter and the oil plug.
Place clean newspaper or cardboard under your car when it is parked over night. Before you start the car look to see where the oil drips are located. The oil leak will be in that general area. Keep in mind that there are many nooks and crannies in your engine compartment. The oil leak may be high in the engine and could run down and across many things. This can make it hard to find the oil leak. Also, the leak could be any of several other fluids.
Found the oil leak - Now what?
All the work you did to find the leak is just the first part of the solution. Finding the oil leak yourself can save you money and time at the mechanic. Make a note of where the leak is and make sure you tell the mechanic exactly where it is.
Can't find the oil leak? Now What?
It may be a good idea to have your engine compartment thoroughly cleaned or professionally steam cleaned. If the leak is very slow, wait a day and take the vehicle to the mechanic for a complete diagnosis. If you have a fast leak you can head straight to the mechanic so they can help you find it.
Remember, the oil is a critical part of your automobile. without oil your car would die!

Latest Player Updatesclose
Ben Patrick
Fri Sep 16, 2011 9:29 am Reinstated by the NFL this week, TE Ben Patrick has officially ended his brief retirement.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 27-year-old's sudden retirement early in training camp was to take care of "some personal issues and family issues." The Giants have released Patrick's rights. He admits he'll be "kind of starting over" while waiting for a team to call. As long as he's in shape, Patrick should get an opportunity as an injury fill-in this season.
Source: Savannah Morning News
Sun Aug 7, 2011 10:09 am Former Giants TE Ben Patrick says he abruptly retired on Saturday to attend to "some personal issues and family issues."
Fantasy Source Spin: He also hinted his retirement is not permanent. "Right now, I'm just sorting through some things and figuring out my next move," he said. "Hopefully, I'll be able to return (to the NFL) sooner rather than later." A seventh-round pick in 2007, there's no guarantee Patrick will be able to find a job whenever he decides to return after passing up an almost certain roster spot with the Giants.
Source: Savannah Morning News
Sat Aug 6, 2011 9:49 pm Giants TE Ben Patrick has decided to retire.
Fantasy Source Spin: This comes as a surprise. Patrick will turn 27 years old later this month, and he was all but assured of a roster spot after Kevin Boss signed with the Raiders. He's the second player to walk away from Giants after OL Herman Johnson did the same a few days back. Patrick finishes his four-year career with 45 receptions, 446 yards, and four TDs.
Source: Paul Schwartz on Twitter
Mon Aug 1, 2011 5:02 pm Giants agreed to terms with TE Ben Patrick on a one-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: With an average of just 11.3 receptions per year since entering the league in 2007, Patrick is not a realistic option to replace Kevin Boss as the starter. The tight end market is finally bring some drama, though, as Boss could end up in Oakland if the Seahawks steal Zach Miller away. The Giants have an offer out to Boss, who has been hesitant to accept.
Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter
Sun Jul 31, 2011 5:13 pm Free agent TE Ben Patrick is scheduled to visit the Giants in the next day or so.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Giants want to re-sign Kevin Boss and the interest in mutual, but the two sides are "stuck in a contract standoff." Patrick isn't a realistic fallback option. He's been injury prone and not nearly the receiver that Boss has been.
Source: Newark Star-Ledger
Fri Mar 4, 2011 4:31 pm The Cardinals declined tenders to TEs Ben Patrick and Stephen Spach, and DE Kenny Iwebema, making them unrestricted free agents.
Fantasy Source Spin: Patrick is incredibly injury prone and has never developed into much of a receiving threat. Spach was a coaching staff favorite, but also adds little in the pass game. Iwebema is coming off a torn ACL with meniscus damage.
Wed Sep 1, 2010 11:08 am Ben Patrick (knee) returned to Cardinals practice Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Patrick is expected to get his first taste of preseason action on Thursday. He'll be the Cardinals' starter at tight end come Week 1 but a non-factor in the passing game. Stephen Spach will return to a reserve role.
Source: Arizona Republic
Thu Aug 5, 2010 3:30 pm Cardinals TE Ben Patrick was diagnosed with a displaced kneecap and will be ready for Week 1.
Fantasy Source Spin: Patrick will likely take it easy for the next couple of weeks, but is probably in no danger of losing his starting gig.
Source: Kent Somers on Twitter
Thu Aug 5, 2010 2:12 pm The MRI on Ben Patrick's left knee revealed no damage to his ACL or PCL, a source tells Adam Caplan.
Fantasy Source Spin: Patrick and the Cardinals can breathe a sigh of relief. A mere sprain in the knee figures to have the starting tight end ready well before Week 1. There's no timetable for his return yet.
Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter
Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:34 pm Cardinals re-signed restricted free agent TE Ben Patrick to a one-year, $1.684 million contract..
Fantasy Source Spin: Patrick was tendered at the second-round level. Though he's developed into an above-average blocker, Patrick has yet to top 12 receptions in a season. He won't be a fantasy factor in 2010.
Source: azcardinals.com
Tue Mar 2, 2010 2:07 pm The Cardinals tendered restricted free agent TE Ben Patrick an offer at the second-round level.
Fantasy Source Spin: He'll certainly be safe at that level. Though Patrick had just 12 receptions for 146 yards last season, he's developing into a fine run blocker as a well as an adequate pass blocker. He'll earn $1.684 million in 2010.
Source: Kent Somers on Twitter
Thu Jan 7, 2010 5:07 pm Cardinals TE Ben Patrick (head) returned to a full practice Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Patrick is finally over his mid-December concussion. He's the best bet among the Cardinals tight ends to haul in a goal-line pass, but that doesn't make him an acceptable fantasy option during the playoffs.
Source: azcardinals.com
Mon Jun 15, 2009 6:22 pm NFL suspended Cardinals TE Ben Patrick four games for violating the league's policy on banned substances.
Fantasy Source Spin: He tested positive for Adderall, which is typically subscribed for use in ADHD cases. Patrick's agent says his client used the drug to stay awake on a drive from Phoenix to Flagstaff one night last season. With Stephen Spach recovering from ACL and MCL surgery, this will hurt the Cardinals' early-season tight end depth, not that they rely on the position much.

Mon Jun 15, 2009 6:22 pm Cardinals TE Ben Patrick has been suspended four games for violating the league's policy on banned substances.

With Steven Spach recovering from ACL and MCL surgery, this will hurt the Cardinals early-season tight end depth.

Sat Jan 10, 2009 7:32 pm Cardinals declared TE Ben Patrick, CB Eric Green, LB Victor Hobson, T Elliot Vallejo, T Brandon Keith, DT Alan Branch, and QB Brian St. Pierre inactive against the Panthers.
Fantasy Source Spin: Steven Spach and Leonard Pope are the active tight ends for the Cardinals.
Tue Aug 26, 2008 8:42 am Cardinals TE Ben Patrick (ankle) practiced a little bit on Monday, but it's still unknown if he can play in the preseason finale.
Fantasy Source Spin: Patrick pretty much handed the starting job to Leonard Pope when he went down with a high ankle sprain in the second preseason game.

Comments about COLUMBIA Women's Silver Ridge Shirt, L/S:
I purchased this shirt in white and blue. The white is see-through, but fine with another layer underneath. The blue is not as pictured and is a powder blue. Other than being thin, which is ideal for summer, the quality is excellent. It is a nice, rip-stop material and does not wrinkle.

A Trip up North
3 comments:
I've never heard of "bulldogging," but it sounds like fun! Vermont must have been amazing this time of year. Going north for me means going into Michigan, which is also beautiful this time of year. I love doing that.ReplyDelete
I so agree with you about unplugging. Social media can be addictive and can also be a burden, and weekends are always an opportune time to unplug.
Caitlin Wilson
I love all the fog in these pics, they are great! Looks like a fun trip!ReplyDelete
The weekend was filled with a bit of work, catching up on tv shows, and high tea with my mom and sister-in-law...the perfect mix.ReplyDelete
Your photos look like this winter wonderland. As an AZ girl, I cannot even imagine that kind of beauty. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving some love! I read each and every one of your comments and love them to pieces :)

Frankly, I think Miller is whacked on this, and for one simple reason: There is plenty of evidence for olive oil being used as a primary cooking fat in countries in medieval Europe where olives were *not* grown (e.g. Germany, England, Denmark, France). They had to be importing all that olive oil, and from a trade viewpoint it makes little sense to export the oil from where it is expensive to sell it where it is cheap. - Doc

Because Tumblr was down. Let the photo spamming begin! For my first post here on Tumblr, I'll tell something about my day with my friend Yuki last Monday (May 23, 2011).
Our day started by going to SM Megamall to buy Yuki's promised birthday gift for me from Etude House, we just heard that the new shop already transferred at the Building B across Jollibee so we came to pay a visit. Oh yeah, my birthday was just this May 21st.
Etude House shops are always an eye-candy and I love how they give this "cute little princess feel" to their customers.
This Makeup kit is a part of their Visual Merchandising setup, I thought they have this on sale though because I don't see that much makeup kits in pink, at least in this shade of pink.
Stuffs that Yuki bought for herself and me are inside, I will post a seperate one for their product reviews.
We decided to eat at Bubbletea since Yuki said that she's craving for Takoyaki and I kinda missed their milkteas. Afterall, Milkteas are their specialty.
One thing I liked about Bubbletea is their group of welcoming staff, I'm a regular customer at their SM The Block branch and the manager there were now assigned to this branch, and luckily she happens to remember me. Well thank you Ms. Manager! :D
For those who haven't tried their milkteas yet, I highly suggest that you try them out. ;)
I love their great lighting setup inside.
Now it's food time! Yuki ordered for a large-sized Royal Milktea while I got myself a large-sized Honeydew Milktea.
I ordered for a Pork Tonkatsu Curry since I love curry so much. They also have it on beef stew, seafood, hamburger and chicken.
Haha, Yuki said she wanted Takoyaki right? She bought Chicken Teriyaki Donburi instead. :))
After eating, we decided to go to SM The Block to check out their Etude House branch if they have that Precious Mineral BB Cream, Dr. Lash Ampule and Silicon Fingertip Blackhead Remover on stock. Talk about Etude House branch hopping!
Ta~da! Welcome to Etude House SM The Block branch. Hello there Yuki! :)
I'm not allowed to take lots of pictures so this is the only shot I made inside the store. And the stuffs I'm looking for are also not available at their branch. :(
Yuki said that she have a practice with her K-POP cover group so we had to find a place where we can stay and wait for her friends. Guess what, we stayed at Bubbletea SM The Block branch. Now talk about Bubbletea branch hopping! :)
Cozy interiors, huh?
Woo, yummy cakes! Their Matcha Cake is my favorite so try them out as well! :)
We stayed at the upper area and appreciated this pair of lights. Bubbletea sure loves warm colored lights.
Pop circle patterns.
Yuki still ordered the same drink, Royal Milktea in medium-size, and I ordered my all time favorite Passionfruit Tea Slush, also in medium-size.
And yay~, hello there Tza! *looks at myself at the mirror on Yuki's left side*
Then we went ahead to their practice at Ange's house along Congressional Avenue until around past 9 and went home afterwards.
That concludes my very first post, as promised I'll have a separate post for the stuffs we bought at Etude House. Til' the next post! ;)

The New York Mets pitching staff has been hit hard with the injury bug this season. According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, it was confirmed by manager Terry Collins that Mets closer Bobby Parnell will need neck surgery to repair a herniated disc.
This injury just adds to the Mets' woes, as they're super star pitcher Matt Harvey went down a few weeks ago. This season, Parnell emerged as a solid closer with 22 saves and a 2.16 ERA until he was put on the disabled list on August 6.
Parnell tried to avoid the surgery by resting, but that didn't help. The Mets closer, who is under contract with the Mets until 2015, said he will be ready to go by spring training next year.

The L.A. home where Anna Nicole Smith shot her wacky reality show is officially on the market ... and it can be yours for a cool $1.75 mil.
TMZ has learned ... the people in charge of Anna's estate put the home up for sale on Sunday -- and we're told the money made from the sale of the house will go back into Anna's estate.
The 4,700 square foot home -- located up in the hills in Studio City, CA -- boasts 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a fitness center, HUGE chandeliers, a giant master bedroom and some pretty sick views.
"HUGE chandeliers"??? Oh, I get it. TMZ made a funny.
uh oh. First no Marshal money now he's been kicked out of the house?! Looks like Anna Nicole's baby daddy might actaully have to go find a job!
I miss her .
Seems to me that "The Estate", aka baby daddy, is running low in funds. It's a shame that he's spending his daughter inheritance by sitting on his butt instead of getting a job. Larry...let me guess...you're tooooo faaaaamous to be able to get a real job, right??
Guarantee you all that when that child grows up, we are going to see her flip out over what should have and could have been hers, if Daddy-O didn't spend it because he chose to mooch off her estate. Kurt Cobains daughter did too, because sleazoid Mommy, the junkie, spent her cash like **** through a goose!
That's a nice house with a great view.If I lived in Ca and had the money,I would definately buy it.
I actually liked Anna Nicole's reality show and I loved her house. So when did Anna sell this house?
Very close to the road, doesen't appear to be gated at all?
I'd buy that house if I wanted to live in Cali, which I don't.
REEALLLLY boring house. You could get something like that for about 1/2 the price if it wasn't "Anna Nicole Smith's house".
Sick views? Or "slick views" as in good?
Cheap kitchen for such a beautiful house.
I really miss Anna. She was a blast, even if it was drug/booze induced most of the time. It's obvious by the photos that her daughter and the kid's father has been living there. Too bad they couldn't keep it for her daughter. RIP Anna.
its off coldwater on avienda del sol next door to her shrink
Kris whatever her name is---there is no security -up in the hills-no place to park but the garage-- I wouldn't live there. She got the money from working on her reality show
anna nicole and her son died because they were greedy drug addicts who didn't respect anybody. they only loved money and drugs. i whould never live in that house where those losers lived. "babydaddy" and his cash cow will meet the same fate. i'm glad marshall family prevailed after 15 years of legal battle.
I'm not shocked this is for sale, I am shocked that Anna had a home gym and was still fat.

Dress the Table with Tube Vases
Tube vases are fantastic because of their versatility. They look equally beautiful on the dining table, coffee table, bathroom and even entryway. Even better, the multiple glass tubes make floral arranging foolproof. No one can botch this up, whether you meticulously cut the flowers the same height or casually cut them every which way.

Adding drives to a drive group in LSI MegaRAID WebBIOS
It's unbelievable that LSI could make an interface so terrible that not only I couldn't figure it out, but that an IBM X Series tech took 2 hours to figure out how to do this simple task.
We have a server with 2 RAID arrays on it - a small RAID 1 array for an OS partition, and a larger RAID5 array for data. We needed to simply add 1 drive to the RAID5 array.
I added the disk and everything showed up fine - the drive was "Unconfigured Good". I could make it into a hot spare just fine.
What I (and the IBM tech) missed for a very long time is that you have to go into the disk group, go to properties, and then go to "Adv Opers". Then you'll be able to add the disk into the group (and I'll warn you, it takes a LONG time to redistribute the data on the disks).
This sounds obvious writing it now, but I can assure you when you're at the machine and need to do it ASAP, there's nothing obvious about it.
I hope this saves somebody else the 3 hours I wasted on this…
