Andrew Breitbart Exposes How Politicians Raise Cash
As many hardcore political news consumers know by now, conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart went after another black woman who earned her stripes in the Civil Rights movement this week.
He posted a voicemail Eleanor Holmes Norton, Washington, D.C.'s delegate in Congress, left for a lobbyist in which she solicited a campaign contribution.
Hundreds of such calls from lawmakers likely occur every month. And that's no doubt an understatement.
Holmes Norton defended herself and others defended the lawmaker by essentially saying everybody does it, accusing Breitbart of once again exploiting information out of context as he did in the Shirley Sherrod case.
It's true that many lawmakers raise cash similarly. But that defense may remind some people over a certain age might be reminded of the line from "Cool Hand Luke": "Calling it your job, don't make it right, Boss."
Still, just because her phone call troubles a lot of people who see it as, at worst, a shakedown or, at best, an uncomfortable reminder of how money drives the political system, even for a non-voting delegate in Congress, it doesn't make it illegal.
As NPR's Peter Overby explained to me in an e-mail:
Briefly, unless the lawmaker is far, far more aggressive than Holmes Norton is on this voicemail, there's no legal violation. By statute and precedent, a campaign contribution cannot be a bribe; and federal law doesn't even come close to barring general conversations linking campaign money and legislative activities.
Finally, even if Holmes Norton made the call from her office, she might be off the hook (as it were) if she used a campaign cellphone. The ban of fundraising in congressional buildings isn't exactly airtight.

About Pandora
A mystery band from New York that recorded live four-track demos in Cleveland in the summer of 1974, produced by Granicus drummer Joe Battaglia. No one (not even Battaglia) can now remember names of the musicians or what became of them; when the demos were found in Battaglia's possession in the 1990s, their release was eventually arranged on the Arf! Arf! label. If you like mid-'70s glam, it's a passable relic from the era, stylistically derivative of David Bowie, Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire's chief justice was over whelmingly acquitted of ethics violations Tuesday at a historic Senate impeachment trial, defusing a constitutional crisis that began over a divorce case.
Chief Justice David Brock convinced most of the state Senate that the evidence was weak or that his mistakes weren't serious enough to convict.
Though further attempts to remove him from the bench are possible, he survived what could be his toughest test.
Brock, 64, smiled and hugged his tearful wife as the trial ended, and expressed "the deepest gratitude" to his supporters.
"You bet I'm going back to work," he said in response to a question.
The case rocked the state's judiciary, prompted one Supreme Court justice to resign and plunged the state's high court into the first impeachment trial in New Hampshire history.
Fifteen votes, two-thirds of the 22 participating senators, were needed to convict Brock. The most any of the four articles got was eight votes.
"For us to convict, there must be serious misconduct. Poor judgment is not enough," Sen. Burt Cohen said.
Brock was accused of improperly calling a lower-court judge about a politically sensitive case in 1987; soliciting then-Justice Stephen Thayer's comments about the judges selected to hear Thayer's own divorce; lying to House investigators; and routinely allowing justices to comment on cases from which they were disqualified.
Testifying last week, Brock, who has been a member of the high court since 1981 and chief justice since 1986, admitted to some accusations but insisted they were errors in judgment or misstatements - not intentional, impeachable acts.
Brock denied that he called Superior Court Judge Douglas Gray about a 1987 case involving a powerful state senator. Gray testified that Brock did make the call, and two other judges said Gray told them about it.
Brock acknowledged giving answers to House investigators that were less than the full truth, but denied lying. He said he stumbled once because the questions were confusing.

Trail opens, city elections top news for 2013
CHICKASAW COUNTY – It was a year full of news at the Tanglefoot Trail opened and voters went to the polls to elect city officers.
More than 10 years or planning, preparation and construction culminated this fall with the opening of the Tanglefoot Trail that stretches 44-miles from Houston to New Albany. The Trail – as it is known locally – immediately became an economic development engine for the community with cyclist from around the state and region biking the trail and local walkers also enjoying it, too.
Voters in Houston, Okolona, Woodland and Houlka went to the polls this spring with changes seen at the Okolona Police Department and on the Okolona Board of Aldermen. Houston, Woodland and Houlka voters basically stayed with the same city leaders.
Other big news included the naming of two new Houston School District trustees and the announcement of an industrial mega site south of Okolona.
Chickasaw County saw three homicides in 2014, but also hosted two Flywheel Festivals, the largest ever Houston Homecoming in July and the first annual Cornbread Festival in Houlka.
The following is a quick look back at the top headlines in the Chickasaw Journal by month for 2014.
• Houston was nominated for the National Register following a lengthy application process spearheaded by Historic Hometown Houston. An initial survey was done for Depot, Hamilton, Jackson, Jefferson, Madison, Pittsboro, Pontotoc and Washington streets and Pinson Square.The nomination came about as part of the construction of a cell tower in downtown Houston in 2012.

I have successfully made a static website at 1024px. The last thing I'm trying to figure out is how to keep the "desktop" menu when I scale the browser window down. It seems that no matter what I do with the code, the responsive menu triggers at a browser size of 979px.
Does anyone know where the code is that triggers the responsive menu?
I've removed
<div class="navbar notresp...> and it's contents from the class-header-menu.php file, I've added
`.navbar.resp {
display: none;
.navbar.notresp {
display: block;
to my css using media queries, even tried !important, and everything else I could think of, but nothing seems to stop the responsive menu from appearing.
I looked through the entire forum 3 times and found a related topic in this thread hoping it would have a solution, but alas it did not.
I just can't seem to figure this out for some reason and I'm certainly not new to web design. It's driving me nuts. It's the last thing I need to do to finish this site.
Any information someone might have to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Hi all,
We're using HyperDB plugin to share the wp_users table across multiple, non-Multisite WordPress 3.2.1 instances. Each instance uses its own database for all of its tables, except for wp_users, which is placed in a shared database.
Everything works fine except when WP tries to run a query that joins the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables. It returns 0 rows when that happens.
In the UI, this happens if you go to:
Or edit a post and see that the "change author" select list doesn't appear.
It seems that both of these features use a query which does a join explained like above.
One query I've isolated is the following:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_users.ID FROM wp_users INNER JOIN wp_usermeta ON (wp_users.ID = wp_usermeta.user_id) WHERE 1=1 AND ( (wp_usermeta.meta_key = 'wp_capabilities' AND CAST(wp_usermeta.meta_value AS CHAR) LIKE '%\"administrator\"%') ) ORDER BY user_login ASC LIMIT 20;
Here is the relevant info from db-config.php:
// Add global/main DB for this specific site
'host' => $db_host,
'user' => 'db_user',
'password' => 'db_pass',
'name' => 'db_main',
// Use db_users DB for wp_users table; this enables us to share the wp_users
// table across non-MU, non-multisite instances.
'host' => $db_host,
'user' => 'db_user',
'password' => 'db_pass',
'name' => 'db_users',
'dataset' => 'users',
function add_shared_users($query, $wpdb) {
if ($wpdb->base_prefix .'users' == $wpdb->table) {
return 'users';
One more detail: If I move the wp_usermeta into same database as wp_users, the above query does return the correct number of rows. So, as a fallback, I could put each site's wp_usermeta table into the shared database.
Is what I'm trying to do possible with HyperDB? Or is there a better method for sharing wp_users table across multiple, non-Multisite WP3 instances?
Thanks for any input!

Here we describe the application of two well known graph algorithms, Edmonds' algorithm and Prim's algorithm, to the problem of optimizing distributed SPARQL queries. In the context of this paper, a ldquodistributed SPARQL queryrdquo is a SPARQL query which is resolved by contacting any number of remote SPARQL endpoints. Two optimization approaches are described. In the first approach, a static query plan is computed in advance of query execution, using one of two standard graph algorithms for finding minimum spanning trees (Edmonds' algorithm and Prim's algorithm). In the second approach, the planning and execution of the query are interleaved, so that as each potential solution is expanded it is permitted to follow an independent query plan. Our optimization approach requires basic statistics regarding RDF predicates which must be obtained prior to the user's query, through automated querying of the remote SPARQL endpoints.

Apr 29, 2013As it is now, Dragon Fantasy Book I is an enjoyable experience that will sit well with those looking for a decent throwback to earlier RPGs.
Apr 25, 2013Dragon Fantasy is an unimaginative and dull adventure from days when we only imagine games were better. Even fans of retro JRPGs should put Dragon Fantasy pretty low on their to-play lists.
Apr 30, 2013As a longtime JRPG fan, I appreciate the irony. I can't count the number of times I've defended the genre from people claiming it's a mindless exercise of mash-X-until-you-win, but throwbacks like Dragon Fantasy don't make the stigma any easier to dispel. Games like Cthulhu Saves the World and Anodyne show us that it's possible to celebrate classic genres while still employing interesting design.

"Corpus Christi Beach" Top 5 Page for this destination Corpus Christi by GUYON
Corpus Christi Travel Guide: 136 reviews and 331 photos
We wished to visit Corpus Christi because it is a famous beach on the Mexico Gulf.
We already knew the beaches of Florida : Fort Meyers and Miami and we were interested in seeing on the other side.
Unfortunatly, the weather was a bit cold and above all windy. So we were not able to have a swim in the sea.
It is a pity because I had foreseen a ride in the Mustang and Padre Islands which are just in front the City and which are well known for their magnificent beaches.
But there are other things to do and to see there. Especially, the Carrier Lexington which was just in front of our hotel (the picture was shot from our balcony at dusk).

by Jeff Shannon You would think that every film Paul Newman ever appeared in would be readily available on home video, right? Guess again. One of the best films from Newman's early career has managed to slip through the cracks of home-video distribution for decades, and unless you're old enough to have seen it in theaters or on TV over the years, it's possible you've never even heard of it. So when I heard that "The Rack" (1956) was available on home video for the very first time, I couldn't wait to break the news to Stewart Stern.
For anyone who's wondering "Stewart who?" there's a convenient shortcut you can use when discussing the impressive life and career of Stewart Stern. All you have to say is, "He wrote 'Rebel Without a Cause.'" Uh-huh, that one. With a credit like that, any screenwriter could legitimately claim a slice of movie immortality, like James Dean did as the now-iconic star of Nicholas Ray's 1955 teen-angst classic. But to say that Stern only wrote "Rebel" is a bit like saying Frank Lloyd Wright designed a house. In the course of his distinguished, decades-spanning career, Stern wrote rich, psychologically perceptive scripts that were magnets for great actors and great acting: His script for "The Ugly American" (1963) gave Brando plenty to chew on; his Oscar-nominated script for "Rachel, Rachel" (1968) gave Joanne Woodward what is arguably the best role of her career (under the direction of her husband, Paul Newman; they also earned Oscar nods); and Stern's Emmy and Peabody-winning teleplay for "Sybil" (1976) transformed cute TV actress Sally Field into an Emmy winner with a pair of Oscars in her future. A few years later, Stern left Hollywood, weary of the rat race and struggling with writer's block, the delayed effect of post-traumatic stress from service in World War II. In the mid-'80s, Stern relocated to Seattle and never looked back. And while Stern may have been a nephew of Paramount Pictures founder Adolph Zukor, with additional family ties to MGM moguls Arthur Loew Sr. and Jr., his closest Hollywood connection was more personal and more warmly indicative of the man's soul and spirit: For 55 years, Stewart Stern was one of Paul Newman's very best friends.
Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" is about World War II in roughly the same way that, I suppose, Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" is about a haunted hotel. The war is indeed the setting, but that's not so much what the movie is about. I also don't see it as an act of Holocaust denial or an anti-vengeance fable in which we are supposed to first applaud the Face of Jewish Revenge, and then feel uncomfortable sympathy for the Nazis. The movie comes down firmly on the side of the Jews, and of revenge, of an early end to the war and the saving of thousands of lives, with barely a quibble.
But while "Inglourious Basterds" is indisputably a WW II revenge fantasy (and, of course, a typically Tarantinian "love letter to cinema"), a theme that is central to nearly every moment, every image, every line of dialog, is that of performance -- of existence as a form of acting, and human identity as both projection and perception. As you would expect from a film that is also an espionage picture and a detective movie, it's shot through with identity games, interrogations, role-playing and people or situations that are not what they appear to be...

Commercial Jet means business. Less than one month after announcing plans to open a $12 million facility at Dothan Regional Airport, it lands a major client: Aeronautical Engineers Inc.
"Oh, it's huge. It's a big deal for Dothan and it's a big thing for the state of Alabama as well," said Art Morris, Dothan's Airport Director.
The company specializes in cargo-door conversions. Engineers design doors that revamp passenger planes into cargo planes.
"They actually cut a section out, manufacture a door, put the door in, and then the aircraft can be used as either as a passenger aircraft or a cargo aircraft," Morris explained.
This type of aircraft is in high demand because the company has a patent for these doors. They need maintenance companies—such as Commercial Jet—to do the work. This operation will be the largest passenger-to-cargo conversion facility in the world
"There is a huge market for these types of conversions, particularly right now. The South American market is just booming for these types of aircraft. There's a big shortage, worldwide shortage, of these aircrafts so that means they're going to have to bring them to Dothan to get the conversions done," said Morris.
Within the next few years, the Dothan Facility will employ several hundred aircraft technicians.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, who served prison
sentences over a protest in a church against President
Vladimir Putin, said they were attacked in Sochi as five band
members tried to perform a song.
"Under the banner Sochi 2014, to the sound of 'Putin will
teach us to love the homeland', Cossacks attacked Pussy Riot,
beat us with whips and sprayed a lot of pepper gas at us,"
Tolokonnikova wrote on Twitter.
Video purportedly of the incident posted on a Russian
television website showed Pussy Riot members pulling
trademark, brightly coloured ski masks over their faces and
performing a song in front of a wall decorated with the Sochi
Games design.
What appeared to be pepper spray was aimed at one of them, a
Cossack was shown beating several people with a whip and the
masks were roughly pulled off the protesters' heads.
Alyokhina tweeted photographs of blood dripping down the face
of a supporter after the attack. Another showed red marks
across Tolokonnikova's chest.
David Khakim, an activist who was briefly detained over a
one-man protest in Sochi this week, said he had witnessed the
"The Cossacks sprayed gas in my eyes. They started beating us
with whips after which they started choking us in front of a
police officer," he wrote on Twitter.
Cossacks have enjoyed a revival under Putin and are being
used to enforce security around the Olympic Games.
"Most likely, this is some sort of a cheap provocation," said
Konstantin Perenizhko, a deputy to the regional Cossack
military leader.
Neither part of the police nor military, Cossacks, once the
patrolmen of the Russian borderlands, are meant to maintain
order and work with police to make arrests.
Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova were detained on suspicion of
theft in Sochi on Tuesday but were later released, less than
two months after their release from prison under an amnesty.
The pair had been serving two-year jail terms for hooliganism
motivated by religious hatred after performing a
profanity-laced protest song against Putin in Moscow's main
cathedral in February 2012.
Western governments said the sentences were excessive, and
Kremlin critics called the trial part of a clampdown on
dissent during Putin's third presidential term.
Tolokonnikova said she and Alyokhina had also been detained
for seven hours on Sunday and for 10 hours on Monday, though
their presence in Sochi had not been advertised.
Putin has staked his reputation on the Sochi Games, hoping
they would show the world Russia's modern face more than two
decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

I've been running MU for a year and half, and recently upgraded to the integrated WP3. I've just hit the problem of not being able to move a blog from a temporary location as a subdomain, to its permanent top level domain location. Here's what I used to be able to do (all links included below are made up for example purposes, none are real domains that I run):
1) create and develop here: dev.mydomain.com/tools
2) when it's done and ready, create new/empty site at permanent domain (toolsdomain.com) in same MU system,
3) move blog from dev location by using the Assign Blogs link on (what is now) the Super Admin > Sites (bottom one) page
4) your new domain has 2 blogs now, delete the newest empty one, keeping only the one moved from dev.
Since upgrading to WP3.0.1 it seems this function is broken. Now, if I click on Assign Blogs I go here:
With this very simple message: "Invalid blog."
Can someone help me out with this? Is there still a way to do this and I am just missing it?
I've spent all day searching forums and codex. I read slow, and maybe my search terms are lacking, but I can't find anything about this. I apologize if this has already been covered and I just didn't see it. I would really appreciate a link to more info if that's the case.
Thanks very much for taking the time to read. Any help offered will be very much appreciated.

The news that Alfonzo Dennard's probation hearing was bumped from August 26 (which was this past Monday) to September 6th could potentially put the Patriots in a pickle. That date, which is a week from Friday, falls after the deadline to cut the roster down to 53 players (Saturday), but only two days from the Patriots season opening game against Buffalo. This means Bill Belichick will have to cut down his roster without knowing if one of his starting cornerbacks is available. The problems this creates are exacerbated by the teams lack of depth at corner. If Dennard is unavailable (which is a legitimate possibility), Kyle Arrington would slide into his #2 corner spot across from Aqib Talib. Arrington is decent for a nickle cornerback, but he has largely struggled in coverage whenever he has started on the outside. With a schedule that features the Bucs (Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams), Falcons (Roddy White, Julio Jones), Bengals (AJ Green) and Saints (Marques Colston, Jimmy Grah...

Barber's Slippery Slope: A Short Step from Satanism to Bestiality in the Military
A few weeks ago, we noted that anti-gay activist Paul Blair was contemplating a run for the Oklahoma state Senate, prompted by threats he received after speaking out against a local anti-discrimination policy.
So it was no surprise that Blair was recently on Peter LaBarbera's radio program where the two spent most of the program discussing the threats they have received and complaining how differently such things would be treated if Christians did them to gay activists.
Also joining them on the program was Liberty Counsel's Matt Barber, who has never been shy about vocalizing his own pure and unabashed disgust for all things gay. So eventually Barber trotted out the false Religious Right claim that the military was going to legalize bestiality and managed to link that to the Religious Right outrage over the fact that the Air Force Academy had constructed a worship center for Wiccans:
Now it is legal in the United States Armed Services, if this gets through the House and is signed by President Obama, bestiality will be legal in the ranks of the Armed Services. It boggles the mind.
But this is that slippery slope we're on, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised to find that the United States Air Force Academy recently built a shrine - a Satanic Wiccan shrine - so that Wiccans can worship at the Air Force Academy.
Once you open the door to evil, it doesn't take long for it to fall completely apart.

Being a working mom is challenging. But on Friday, I was able to slip away from work for a very important event: my daughter Ellie's volleyball game! I was worried my daughter's team – the undefeated Trinity Tigers – was in danger of being stopped in its tracks. If they were going to see their last spike, I wanted to be there.
There's something wonderful about watching the incredible teamwork among 14 and 15-year-old girls who are often unfairly depicted as catty backstabbers. I loved seeing how the girls supported each other, cheering and clapping, even when someone made a mistake.
What made me proudest of my daughter wasn't that she set up the ball beautifully, or that she has one of the most interesting and graceful serves. I just loved seeing how spirited she was. She really went for it, even if meant ending up with her arms and legs splayed across the floor!
I now feel for those parents who attend their child's sporting events with regularity, especially at the high school level. It is so nerve wracking! My friend, Andrew, whose daughter Isabel plays on the team, says they would be devastated if they lost, because they were undefeated. But I told him disappointment is an important life lesson that has to be mastered. That's one of my pet peeves -- that parents don't allow their children to fail or deal with disappointment. Sure, that makes sense in the abstract, but I have to confess: that afternoon, as my heart pounded and I stomped on the bleachers with all my might, I was sure glad I got to deal with winning and celebration, instead of loss and disappointment.
I wasn't able to spend much time there Friday -- I had to get back to anchor the Evening News! -- but I was thrilled because Ellie's team made it to the finals. Both teams were gracious in both victory and defeat. And the next day, Saturday, I was able to spend four hours watching her play.
Oh, and one mom brought the best brownies I've ever eaten. When I get the recipe, I'll pass it on.
You'll thank me -- even if your waistline won't!

The NetBeans command to run an Ant build for a project is F11. I always believed that the target that it executes is named "default". I overrode the default target to do nothing other than simply flag that it ran. When I manually run the target from Ant, or by selecting the particular default target in Netbeans, I get the expected "flagging" behavior.
However, when I press F11, Netbeans runs the init, deps-jar, compile, and jar targets. It seems that I actually did not override the default target, as far as NetBeans is concerned.
I'm doing this so I can effectively decouple my build script from my IDE, but I get the impression that NetBeans isn't helping with this.
Essentially, what I want is to override the default target so that when I press F11, targets that I specifically add are run. Is this achieved by eliminating the build-impl.xml file?

Patient Comments: Ankylosing Spondylitis - Symptoms
The symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis can vary greatly from patient to patient. What were your symptoms at the onset of your disease?
Comment from: Tushar_612, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: September 01
The first symptom of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) I experienced was 3 years ago. I have been differentially diagnosed with AS; awaiting blood work. But somehow I think I have all the symptoms for AS, whether I have HLA-B27 gene or not. Three years ago, I started noticing the pinch in my back. I could not lie flat on my back. The doctor said I had calcium deficiency. Two years ago, I moved to USA from India. Within 7 months I noticed the first major pain in my back and ribs. I also felt the pain in my heels and lower back. I think the change in environment activated my HLA-B27 gene or increased its impact. I remained on Norflex and Ansaid or NSAID for a month and Physical therapy. Last year I had a major flare up again. Never before have I experienced such pain; as if I had been stabbed. I have been living with pain since then. I was told that it is my posture, so have been working with my physical therapist, and last week I went to a chiropractor to get some relief. He saw my x-rays and told me I have AS. At first I was relieved that I can now cure myself, but AS does not have any cure. Not trying to have a negative outlook, but maybe that is what I should expect from myself, a less painful life, if not pain free, and be able to live an active lifestyle.
Comment from: TLCRAZLITCOUNTRYGIRL, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: January 06
I'm a 38 year old female who has dealt with pain my entire life but I remember the worst of it all starting around age 13 to 14. I was recently diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in August of 2014, this after months of extreme chronic pain in my right buttock, right leg, lower back and hips. My Family doctor was telling me I was only pill seeking and it was all in my head (I have sense gotten a new doctor). My course has been debilitating to say the very least. I was originally diagnosed with everything under the sun, chronic fatigue syndrome, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (RA), fibromyalgia and a lot of other stuff because the doctors couldn't or didn't want to figure it out. I was diagnosed finally with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2002 after a car accident when they found lesions on my brain. Today I fight through the pain and I still suffer. Besides AS, MS, RA and Steven Johnson's syndrome I also suffer from a list of other pleasurable things. I think that's everything, I have a hard time remembering, but this past May I was diagnosed with sacroiliitis showed in my hips and lower spine. This after being misdiagnosed and treated for osteomyelitis (a severe life threatening disease in your bone). The pain I feel is chronic and debilitating, it is a struggle just to function on a daily basis. Sleep is impossible as AS wakes me up in the middle of the night and at any given time one of my other health issues can decide to flare up and then I'm really done for. I walk with a cane and use a wheelchair to get around my house. I wish I had friends or family to aid me but I do not. I do not wish this on my worst enemy. My fatigue consumes me, but I'm not dead yet, I will win this fight or give it one hell of shot trying.
Comment from: Mandeep, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: September 12
I am suffering from ankylosing spondylitis for the last 10 years. I am a 36 years old male. It was diagnosed when I was 26 years old and doctor suggested me Hifenac SR. Initially it gave me relief but after sometime, I was having severe acidity and unexpected weight gain due to taking one tablet daily. Currently, I am suffering from severe pain in my chest and shoulders. My right ankle is having swelling for last 5 days. Due to this pain my daily activities are hampered and I am under stress. I am taking Nucoxia 90 mg/Feldex/Hifenac/Medrol, etc. Nothing is working. My TB Gold test is positive. I am taking one tablet Solonex daily on empty stomach for the last 10 days. Doctor has suggested me to take Enbrel Injection weekly.
Comment from: MISSjrEWING, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: April 01
I"m a female who has dealt with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) since 2005. My course has been debilitating to say the very least. I was originally diagnosed with lupus and doctors also thought I had multiple sclerosis (MS). Today I hold my head up high and run off a long laundry list of diagnoses: AS, Sjogren's, fibromyalgia, hiatal hernia, Barrett's esophagus, Collins syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia (suicide disease). I think that"s everything, I have a hard time remembering. My original diagnosis (that I"m not sure if they still carry) are: peripheral neuropathy and sacroiliitis. My rheumatic doctor did an x-ray of my hips and said that it wouldn"t likely turn into AS. He was wrong. I have since had a DEXA scan (I think that"s the name) and it showed in my hips and lower spine. I had that scan about 2 years ago. I now get swelling in the joint of my right foot, severe pain in the heel of my left foot and incredible pain in my right shoulder. The pain in my left buttocks feels like someone has their foot shoved up my backside 24/7. The pain in my ribs and the center of my chest is debilitating at best. As a single mother of 3 life is not easy for me. Sleep is impossible as AS wakes me up in the middle of the night and at any given time one of my other health issues can decide to flare up and then I"m really done for. I walk with a cane and use a wheelchair to get around my house. I wish I had friends or family to aid me but I do not. I do not wish this on my worst enemy. I live in fear of fusion and I try my hardest to stretch and exercise but when my fatigue consumes me I cannot.
