It is absolutely terrifying for some of the people to drive vehicles during winter, especially when they live in an area with freezing temperatures which is combined with ice, snow and sleet. During winters, even one moment of inattention might put you in dangerous situation. Here are winter driving tips that you should know while driving in winter.
Winter Driving Tips
- Pay Attention: In bad winter weather, even the smallest lapse of focus can send us spinning off the road. You should always keep your phone switched off while driving in winter month. You should also not remove your hand from the steering wheels to change the radio station and should avoid eating or drinking behind the wheel. If you have your kids along with you in your car then you should teach them the importance of remaining quiet while driving you should teach them so that you are not distracted while driving.
- Maintain a Safe Speed: In winter, majority of accident occur due to excessive speed. It is very difficult to maintain the speed on icy and stormy roads. Due to excess speed, your tires will lose its grip on the road altogether.
- Keep your Car in Tip-Top Condition: You should get your car serviced and you should keep it in good condition always and get it checked regularly. This will prevent unexpected breakdowns and it will also allow you to drive safely on the bad roads. You will get maximum amount of traction by keeping the tires rotated and properly inflated.
- Know What to Do in Emergency: Do you know that what you should do in the event of skid or spin? There are different approaches that you should try depending on whether you have rear-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. You should learn how to handle your vehicle and practice your reaction so that you are ready. It is also very important for you to learn first aid skills and other such emergency response skills, including how to survive if you are stranded in snow.
- Pack a Safety Kit: You should always keep a stock of emergency kit in your vehicles such as fire extinguisher, first-aid kit, a tire gauge, battery-powered warning light or flares, lug wrench, jack, cables, tire sealant, battery charger, jumper cables, water, gloves, basic tools, warm blankets and energy bars.
- Visibility: While driving your vehicle you should make sure that you are able to see well. You should clean the inside as well as outside of the windows thoroughly. If you have old windshield wiper blades then you should replace it with the new one. You should also apply a water-shedding material on the outside of the windows.
- Avoid Icy Uphill Driving: You should try not to drive up hills when it is icy. If you cannot avoid it then you should go up slowly in second gear. You should steer around obstacles and should use feather braking in order to keep the momentum. You should not stop until you have cleared the top of the hill.

Rare Sight
25 September 2012
HND1 have just presented their 'Rare Sight' project - a campaign promoting an exhibition at Newcastle's Baltic, celebrating unusual visual themes, or rare sights, natural or otherwise.
A standout submission came from Emils Blums Blumanis, who experimented with a red filter layering effect in Illustrator and came up with a pair of posters each featuring two overlaid images, where the second image becomes visible when you put on red filter glasses. A great concept, nicely executed. Difficult to capture the interactivity in still images though, but here goes -

The Future of Advertising
24 September 2012
On Friday our students were lucky enough to have a visit from Murray Calder, Chair of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) and a Director at advertising giants, MediaCom.
Murray, who was recently named in the DRUM's Power 100, gave a great talk on the future of advertising. He looked at the rise of digital and its increasingly dominant market share of advertising revenues.
Some of the emerging ideas he looked at included digital device convergence, interactive video, and near-field communication, along with various the strategies now being used to target smaller groups of consumers who in turn use social media to extend the reach of the message.
Murray described a 'layer cake' approach, where the traditional forms of static advertising – print, TV, outdoor, door drops - can all be integrated via smartphones to create more immersive, interactive content. He also used a nice quote by Smithery's John Willshire that creatives 'need to be making things people need, rather than making people need things'. Inspiring stuff.

Mentoring Session
23 September 2012
Our HND class recently got the chance to meet their mentors for the first session of the year. Our mentor line-up remains unchanged except for the welcome inclusion of Jen Wood, an Art Director at RAPP Edinburgh.
Unfortunately, Jen and a more familiar face, Iain Lauder of Redpath, were unable to make the mentoring night, but the rest of the lineup were all there, looking at the students work and sharing their thoughts and ideas about the year ahead, and discussing the sort of preparation our designers will need when they head out into industry.
Ian Farmer listening intently.
Line Digital's Rufus Spiller having fun.
Family's Kirsten Murray checking out a nice sketchbook.

I think that weddings are wasted on the young.
I've been to some horrible weddings. Drunk brides. Belligerent grooms. Toasts where the family openly weeps. (You can't tell if they are moved by the words or weeping for the couple's future.)
And the drunk family members? Schwoo. Me included. I was once so drunk that I cried in the bathroom of my cousin's wedding for an hour. My grandmother came in and asked, "Why are you crying?"
I said, "I don't know."
Then she left the bathroom with her skirt tucked into her underwear. Someone had been sipping the white wine, too.
I've been to weddings where too many uninvited guests show up. Oops. Assumptions were made. And I've been to weddings where guests were invited to the reception on the wrong date and almost nobody showed up. I've been to weddings where the bride and groom were openly sniping at the reception.
And of course I've been to weddings where everyone is in love and everything was beautiful and tasteful.
But that rarely happens.
And the best weddings are second weddings where everything is understated and easy.
What's the best wedding you've attended? And really, who gives a shit — what's the worst? Did the bride wear white?

SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - The runner-up in El Salvador's presidential election said on Tuesday he was asking the country's electoral tribunal to annul the tight contest after refusing to accept the outcome.
"We're going ahead and presenting a motion to have the elections on March 9 annulled," Norman Quijano, candidate of the right wing Nationalist Republican Alliance (Arena), told reporters in San Salvador as squabbling over the vote continued.
On Sunday Quijano finished 0.22 percentage points, or less than 7,000 votes, behind Salvador Sanchez Ceren of the ruling leftist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), a former commander of rebel forces in El Salvador's civil war.
Claiming 75,000 lives, the 1980-1992 conflict pitted an alliance of leftist insurgents against a string of U.S.-backed right wing governments and left the country deeply divided.
Sanchez Ceren would be the first rebel leader to become president if the election results are confirmed later this week.
The electoral tribunal called the outcome "irreversible" on Monday, but Quijano declared himself the real winner and the spat has raised concerns of a protracted dispute in El Salvador.

The act of being high ALL DAY on the day of wednesday. It splits up the week really well. Not a single minute of sobriety can be felt all day.
by mister February 14, 2005
The act of smoking blunts all day on every wednesday of the week. When one participates in blunt wednesday, they smoke literally all day. Waking and baking, then smoking all day whenever he/she deems necessary. Smoking before one goes to bed is a must. BUt what makes blunt wednesday unique is that you must stay high ALL DAY. No sobriety can be felt.
Yo, it's blunt wednesday!

Computer shutting down
About 4 days ago my computer got a new PSU. Things are a bit better than they were ( Now it can actually BOOT WIN 7 )... BUT ( There is always a but, isn't it? ) today i installed a great game that I enjoy playing, Assassin's Creed 2. After a 15 minutes of pure fun, my computer just shut down, no BSOD, no warning, nothin'. My specs are:
CPU: AMD Anthlon 62X2 5000+ Black Edition 2.6GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9600GSO 384Mb VRAM, 128Bit
RAM: 4Gb DDR2 800MHz Kingston
Motherboard: Biostar NF520-A2 TE AM2
OS: Windows 7 32 Bit
PSU: Platinum 400W
Now any game i play my computer shuts down... Can this be caused by bad PSU, dust, high temperature or something else? Please help me.
|My System Specs
|19 Mar 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
If a new PSU helped I can only imagine that it is underpowered but looking at the spec it should be able to cope.
Have you the latest driver for your card?
And have you checked event viewer? (type event viewer into search box,try the system tab)
And also,32bit will only be able to use 3GB MAX ram,64bit will allow use of 4GB or more :)
|My System Specs
|19 Mar 2011
Well i have a few events over here... 2 critical Kernel-Power errors ( because computer lost power ), a LOT of errors and even more warnings... Also, i know about the 32bit and 64bit "thingy", but at the computer service ( that's how you call that place where "professionals" repair your computer, right? ) they installed the 32bit version and i am to lazy to change it to 64bit...
Also, i have the latest video card drivers. Thanks for the respond!
Will changing my power plan to high performance help? I tried power saver and balanced and it didn't help... But i doubt high performance would help because then my computer would just use more power.
EDIT: Will, maybe, reinstalling Windows or maybe even removing 1 2GB RAM module help?

Can't anyone help me out?
Sorry for the double post, had to keep my thread on the first page so someone who knows how to fix this problem help me...
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
FWIW: I have found PC's shutting down due to heat problems, One is that the cpu cooler gets a fine mesh of dust from carpets, cats, dogs and other type hair on it. This reduces the cooling of the cpu fan and it could just shut off your system. Also, if your cpu was not installed properly, ie.. conductive grease on top to the heat sink, this could allow your cpu to overheat. Same with your video card if it has a fan on it.
Things to check.

I removed 1 RAM module ( 2GB DDR2 ) and downloaded Everest. I didn't check the temperatures... I don't know how... However, i noticed a strange detail, my cpu uses 1 core ( checked while not playing games ). Is this weird, or is it how it should be?

Raise your hand if you've ever had a family that just didn't "get it" when dealing with the staff at your nursing home or long-term care facility. OK, everybody put their hand down now. It's time to learn why Marie Marley could be your next best friend.
Achieving person-centric care in LTCMay 28, 2013
How can long-term care providers make real improvements in the care delivered to those in need? It's important for providers to put participants and their families front and center, rather than focusing on care settings, providers and programs. That way, providers will have a full picture - not a siloed outlook - of each participant.
Ahhhhhhhh, there's the rubMarch 04, 2013
In all the tumult over the Time magazine expose of pervasive and obscene healthcare billing excesses, you might have missed the almost as exciting discovery that foot massages at work lower blood pressure and anxiety for dementia caregivers. At least one snippy McKnight's reader irately claims this isn't "real news." He or she definitely needs a lengthy foot rub, and possibly half a Xanax dissolved in a cup of chamomile tea.
Dementia caregivers who receive foot massages at work enjoy lower blood pressure, less anxiety, researchers sayFebruary 21, 2013
Caregivers working with seniors who have dementia benefit from foot massages administered during their shifts, suggests new research.
'Old' categorization based on activities, not ageDecember 14, 2012
New research shows that caregivers for non-institutionalized elderly consumers view them as "old" when they can't perform everyday consumption tasks on their own — not because of their age.
On the other side of long-term careNovember 14, 2012
Here I am in my 40th year of long-term care. It is often said that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks, but that is not totally true. You can teach an old dog new tricks; it's just extremely difficult. In the case of this old dog, it took a near-death experience.
Seniors are accepting of robotic assistance, survey showsSeptember 13, 2012
Seniors are generally receptive to the idea of caregiving robots, though they prefer assistance from humans for certain tasks, a new survey finds.
Give unto othersAugust 17, 2012
Looking for a cure for compassion fatigue? Try reminding your caregivers of the obvious — that their job is all about giving. Trust me, there is some science to this.
Home-based dementia intervention prevents or delays nursing home admission, research suggestsJuly 19, 2012
Dementia patients who were able to receive in-home treatment delayed nursing home admission, new research says.
Direct caregivers will make up nation's largest workforce by 2020, analysis predictsMay 11, 2012
Direct care workers, a group that includes nursing assistants, home health aides and personal care aides, are expected to comprise the United States' largest workforce by 2020, according to a new analysis.
Caregivers for Medicaid recipients often live in poverty, study findsApril 16, 2012
Caregivers for low-income seniors and the disabled often live in poverty or near-poverty themselves, according to a new study.
Baby boomers overwhelmed by caring for their parents, survey findsApril 05, 2012
Senior living operators should find more ways to market and discuss long-term care financing with baby boomers, a new survey suggests.
Subsidizing caregiver wages could help contain long-term care costs, research showsJuly 26, 2011
Government subsidies might help more low-wage workers remain in nursing homes, according to a researcher at the University of Illinois.
Adult caregivers face growing financial and emotional costsJune 16, 2011
Almost 10 million adults over the age of 50 are becoming caregivers for their own parents, resulting in a loss of $3 trillion in wages, pension and Social Security benefits for time taken off from work, according to a new study.
State caregiver matching programs complement CLASS Act, study findsMay 09, 2011
Caregiver matching programs, which help elderly and disabled individuals manage their own home healthcare, are a good fit with various provisions of the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act, according to a new study.
Study: Onset of Alzheimer's preceded by years of rapidly accelerating mental declineMarch 17, 2011
People who develop Alzheimer's disease typically experience up to six years of accelerated mental decline before the disease presents itself, according to new research.
Nearly 60% of paid home caregivers make medication errors, study findsFebruary 24, 2011
One-third of paid caregivers who work for clients who live in their own homes had difficulty reading and understanding health-related information and instructions. Furthermore, 60% of them made medication errors involving their clients, according to Northwestern University researchers, who say the study is the first of its kind.
Government releases funding to help older adults navigate long-term careSeptember 28, 2010
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Monday said $68 million in grant money is available to help seniors, the disabled and their caregivers better understand options for long-term care.

Pet ownership grows more and and more annually, as do many other things. Our culture has long deeply respected the role domestic animals play in our lives, and it is offensive to pet owners for them to be considered anything other than "family". We spend more on them year over year, and where there is demand, there is better medicine.
Once upon a time, you had "your vet". They were close by, and they saw your pet from birth until death, dealing with all ailments they may incur. As veterinary medicine has evolved to suit the demand our pets receive as "family care", so has the field of specialists grown.
When asked by some "What's the difference? I mean, why can't my regular vet handle this?" the answer is simple: consider human medicine. Something aches, something is off, something is "wrong". We seek the care of our general practitioner, but when it's revealed to be something significant, they refer us to a specialist. It's the exact, same thing.
Board Certified specialists went through great lengths to become just that, and have a deeper understanding of your animal's problems specific to their specialty. In addition to becoming a doctor, they went through many additional years of residency training and had to pass extremely difficult tests to become board certified. While they may not be cheap to consult with, you get what you pay for, and they are worth every penny.
Common specialities include, but are not limited to: Neurology, Dermatology, Dentistry, Cardiology, Ophthalmology, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Nutrition, and Radiology.
You love your 'regular' doctor, and you trust them. Perhaps you feel like you are betraying them by seeking a specialist, but you are not. Believe me, they'll be happy you did. They want your pet to receive the best care, and there are limits to their expertise as a general doctor. If they refer you to a specialist, or you seek one on your own, they will remain your primary doctor. They will consult with the specialist and become partners with them for the long term care of your pet.
Specialist have more in depth diagnostic tools than your general practioner. They have ultrasound, scopes.. all kinds of fancy tools that your general doctor doesn't have. They are used to running special blood tests to pinpoint certain diseases, and they use the medicines they subscribe *all day long*.
Consider it this way: When we shop for groceries, we buy a lot of things. We do this every day: we pick up cereal, bread, milk, eggs. We know a ton about buying all of these groceries. If I really wanted to just know about eggs.. I mean, everything about eggs from top to bottom, inside and out, I'd ask an egg specialist! Your general practice doctor doesn't know less generally speaking, they are just trained to know more about many things, and your specialist is trained to only focus on one thing. It's all they do, and they are damn good at it.
A consult with a specialist, and diagnostics therein, may cost a lot at first. But what you save in the long run of going to an expert and getting the absolute best diagnosis and best treatment and guidance will save you in the long run.
So when do you go? When it's serious, and you know it. It also depends on how much you're willing to do. I've met owners who are willing emotionally and financially to offer palliative care for diseases, but, for their own reasons, would never consider surgery, extensive diagnostics, or adding a roster of medications to their daily life. Honestly those with this mental approach tend to be those who feel "age is a disease", and consider less treatment because they perceive their pet to be "too old" for much. Remember, age statistics are an average. If your dog's breed lives an average of 10 years, remember some die at 7 and others live to be 15. Assume yours may live longer, and never deprive them of support and care.
Bear in mind one important difference between human and animal medicine: with humans, we strive for longevity. We are afraid of dying, and we want to live as long as possible. In veterinary medicine, these concepts to not apply. Our pets do not understand "life span"; they understand their own unique quality measures. For instance, when a human gets cancer, our goal is to kill it, at any cost. When our dogs or cats get cancer, we only aim to "kill it" if it's within a realistic measure of their quality and the realistic standards of their cancer. Mostly our goal is quality, and time within the measures of their understanding of quality. A dog never asks, "Why now? I'm too young!"
If your pet has cancer and you don't want to do chemotherapy, there are still benefits to consulting with an oncologist: they see this all day long, and are familiar with the best methods of palliative care even if you don't want to be more aggressive. If you don't want to manage your dog's heart disease and/or heart failure for any measurable length of time, there are still benefits from the expert guidance of a cardiologist. If you know you will never take your old dog to surgery, still talk to a boarded surgeon: they may have amazing insight to offer you which will best guide your decision.
"I've been to the vet three times, and Molly still won't eat. They still don't know what's wrong with her", See your internal medicine specialist. "My veterinarian has just told me that Molly, after five years of having a heart murmur and no symptoms, is in heart failure now", See your cardiologist. I just found out Molly has cancer, and I want to give her the best care possible.... so on, and so forth.
If and when you see a specialist, remember they are just that. Don't ask the dermatologist to examine Molly's limp, and don't ask the surgeon to treat Molly's ear infection. Can they do it? Sure.. but that's what your primary doctor is there for, and they deserve your ongoing business for those other issues. In fact, they are your best source for managing those other things. "Well, we're here, and we spent a ton of money.. why won't you give Molly her rabies vaccine?" The answer: the specialist is there to address whatever serious concern you have. Once Molly is well, return to your general practioner and address those issues.
As with all illness, don't wait. Owners find themselves in denial and hope their animals recover from their issues with little to no intervention, whether guided by financial constraint or just a hope that nothing that bad is really happening. It is far better to be the owner who "panicked" and brought their dog to a specialist for a concern right away, then to be the one who waited and now has a pet in unstable condition who will ultimately, now, cost more than what you were afraid to spend in the first place.
Lastly, consider pet insurance. I've seen it cover amazing costs for owners, and therein enabled owners to do what was truly best for their pet. It's easy to put it in the back of your mind because your pet is young, but never forget that young pets get horrible disease also, as much as we don't anticipate it.

What happens when you put together a blue-eyed blonde Texas woman with a handsome Saudi man living in a traditional Saudi culture, and throw in a young secular Arab blogger and a young Muslim man rediscovering his fundamentalist roots? And, specifically, what happens when they're all in the same family? If that sounds familiar, it's because that family is the Baylani family, whose relationships with each other, their country and their cultures are explored in the novel, The Ruins of Us.
The book is Columbia's One Read book this year, and it's by Columbia author Keija Parssinen.
We spoke with Parssinen recently here in KBIA studios, where she talked about writing, place, displacement and the yearning for home and community.
Parssinen says writing the novel provided a chance for her to rediscover one of the homelands of her childhood, Saudi Arabia, and to cross cultural and geographical boundaries that were off limits to her as a child growing up on an oil compound in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Parssinen says for many Americans, truly growing up means going abroad. For her, the events of 9/11 provided a wake-up call that made her realize, as a junior in college, that there was a lot she had to learn about the true relationships between her Saudi home and her American one.
"I was very naive about the Saudi-American relationship. Obviously it was more complex than I realized," says Parssinen. "And I really wanted to experience it. So it was a real pleasure to learn more about the real Saudi Arabia, but at the same time it was sad for me too, to realize how fraught that relationship was. You know, that my parents' friendships and the bon ami between my father and his colleagues didn't really extend to the national level, to the two countries. There were the individual relationships, and then there were the national relationships. So it was really eye-opening for me."
So, what questions do you have for Keija Parssinen, and what comments do you have about The Ruins of Us? You can join host Ryan Famuliner and producer Rehman Tungekar in a chat with Parssinen on the program Intersection this coming Monday at 2, here on KBIA and on kbia.org. The Daniel Boone Regional Library in Columbia is hosting a series of talks and events related to this year's One Read selection.

Cinderella and Four Knights Drama Recap Episodes 13-14: When True Colors Shine Through
Welcome back, Courtiers, to an another week of heartache with Cinderella and the 4 Knights. In case you missed out on things, here's a quick recap. Ji Woon confessed to Ha Won. They kissed *squee*. Seo Woo is recovering from being rejected by Ha Won and Hyun Min and Hye Ji are still having love life issues. What happened this week? Join Ajummah, Firnlambe and Wendilynn as they discuss the highs and lows of this week's Cinderella and the Four Knights!
Ajummah: Before I flip out over the negative things during these episodes, let me be happy with the moments Ha Won and Ji Woon were together. How cute was that? The cooking scene where Ji Woon stole a kiss and when Ha Won tossed Ji Woon under the table because Seo Woo was coming in, too sweet.
Wendilynn: When Ji Woon was being sweet, he's such a snugabug. Frankly, when they are all being sweet, you want to snuggle in. I did really enjoy how affectionate Ji Woon and Ha Won are. They are a good match.
Firnlambe: dies from the adorableness of it all This pairing is my favorite. I really enjoy that they are so open with how they feel in their relationship . . . well, for the most part. We can discuss that later though.
Ajummah: They really were. Sad that it didn't last long. I guess the kdrama gods had to have their way and break everyone's heart. Ji Woon and Ha Won break up. Grandfather/Chairman has a...what? Heart attack? Stroke? And our 4th knight is making questionable moves with the company.
Wendilynn: Grandpa's liver finally failed. Hard to keep your body working when it's full of poison. The million dollar question, of course, is what did the Chairman know and WHAT IN THE HELL is Yoon Sung doing? Does Chairman know the relationship between Yoon Sung and his mother? What did the tie signify to the chairman? Did he think it was simply an affair or is he disappointed because he thinks Yoon Sung is not on his side? And why in the world is Yoon Sung doing what he's doing? He did not strike me as the evil usurper role. I can't even imagine him doing that. So what is he up to?
Firnlambe: I'm convinced our 4th knight is doing this in the best interest of company and the chairman. He has to be . . . he respects Grandfather too much. And if the writers move us in the opposite direction I'll be pissed.
Ajummah: I really hope that doesn't happen. I am very confused about that storyline. Is he just doing this so his mother doesn't try to take over the company herself? Or has he fallen in line with her? Ugh.
Speaking of story lines, where are the writers going with Hye Ji and Hyun Min? They want to be together, obviously, but Hyun Min is still insisting they stay apart.
Wendilynn: I figure he's going to stay out of her way. He's just gotten her apprenticed, so she'll be heading to paris or some such place to study and because a great designer. She's going to have to be the one to bring him back to her. He won't do it himself.
Firnlambe: NOBLE SACRIFICES FOR ALL! Ha Won gets a noble sacrifice! Hyun Min gets a noble sacrifice! Heck even Seo Woo gets a semi-noble sacrifice with him silently giving up his first love without any fan faire. sigh why does every character, who decides to commit this horrendous act, always fail to realize it causes them more harm than good?
Ajummah: So wait, let me lay this out. The Madame was having dinner with her son and the Chairman saw them. He thinks they're having an affair (maybe) and strokes out or liver fails at that EXACT time. Madame overhears Ha Won talking about how this is all her fault and plays on that to not only have her leave the house, but never see Ji Woon again. She mentioned something about Ha Won not being in the same class as them (which is funny because she isn't in the same class herself). Ha Won believes everything Madame says and leaves (what happened to my headstrong no one will push me around, lead). The whole last episode was 1 big misunderstanding. Ugh.
Wendilynn: The stunt that the Madame pulled was a low blow. Really awful. I think her aim was to get Ji Woon out of the way by playing on his anger at what happened to his mother by playing up what is happening with Ha Won. She needs the boys distracted to have this chance to give Yoon Sung the company. I'm still just shaking my head at what Yoon Sung looks like he's doing. Please, please don't be a jerk. I"m hoping that he's really doing what he can to protect the company from his mother. He simply cares too much about the Chairman to betray him. I'm not surprised that it seems that Ji Woon may be the only donor match. But, even I would feel conflicted after seeing my parents trade love notes in a random cafe over the years.
Firnlambe: Yeah, I'm not sure how I'd feel if I was in the same situation. I feel though, that he'll go through with it simply because now he knows his father didn't just abandon them. I really enjoyed the fact that he was able to put that aspect of his past behind him, and move on--or at least attempt to move on. We all know how Ji Woon is when it comes to his grudges.
Ajummah: I really hope this negative stuff gets resolved quickly and we can get back to the sweet and cute. I really want that.
Wendilynn: That would be nice, but I have to say I laughed quite a bit to see our two Steps struggling. I sort of wish they would resolve that in a better fashion. I feel they are only giving us token moments, but since Daddyeo kicked them out to the porch, I guess they are suffering enough. BTW….. that ring.. That just happens to belong to a woman who died on the same day as Ha Won's mom….who just wanted to give it to her son…. Pinky, Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Firnlambe: I think so Brain . . . but then I would have to know what pondering is, wouldn't I? //smirk//
I do agree with you though. It's clearly belongs to Ji Woon's mother. But that brings to light a question. I thought his mother died in a car crash, or was that just his father. I'm now second guessing if they even told us how she died.
Ajummah: I thought she died in a crash too. I also thought Grandfather said he had another son out there, which means a potential grandchild that could be a match. Did they just drop that storyline? There are a lot of questions that haven't been answered yet.
Wendilynn: Of the three sons, one committed suicide and two died in a car accident. We assumed mom probably did as well, but all we really knew was that she died the same day as Ha Won's mom. I'm hoping the "son" comment was in regards to Yoon Sung now that he married Madame. The writers have done an excellent job of leaving us hanging as we enter the last two episodes. This thing could just go in any direction still.
Firnlambe: Gah!!! So many possibilities so little time!!!
So what do you think Courtiers? Will Yoon Sung betray the Chairman and take over the company? Will Ji Woon be a match and be able to save the Chairman? Or will something else happen that will surprise us all? Tune in next week to catch the latest episodes of Cinderella and Four Knights!

What to Do With Leftover Turkey: 5 Recipe Ideas for Holiday Leftovers
After Thanksgiving, or any holiday feast that features a roast turkey, has wrapped up, you'll likely be left with quite a bit of leftovers. If you've ever faced down a half-eaten bird and wondered what to do with leftover turkey, discover these five creative ways to repurpose holiday leftovers (including turkey, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, mashed potatoes and stuffing) into delicious meals, ranging from easy salads to a complicated dish that every culinary student should attempt to master.
Create Potpie
Using leftover turkey to make a turkey potpie is a tasty and popular way to use up some of the extra meat and gravy from your holiday feast. This clever recipe from Taste of Home goes one step further by using leftover stuffing as a crust. On top are two ingredients you'll likely have on hand: mashed potatoes and French-fried onions. An even more elevated option is this Epicurious recipe for Turkey Potpie With Cheddar Biscuit Crust, which makes use of the skin and carcass for stock. Depending on how much leftover meat you have, you could conceivably make both recipes.
Simmer Soup
Making soup is a great way to use leftovers. This year, try something new, like this Yucatán-style soup with lime and chile from The New York Times. This bright and light dish is traditionally made with chicken, but it's also delicious with turkey.
Toss Salad
Another great solution for what to do with leftovers is to put together a salad for a light lunch or dinner. Try this recipe from My Recipes, which uses leftover cranberry sauce for the dressing and leftover dinner rolls for croutons. Italian seasoning is recommended for the croutons, but poultry seasoning, like this homemade one from Food.com, or even store-bought, is a tasty way to go.
Bake Samosas
If your leftovers include refrigerated pie crusts, this recipe from Real Simple is a great candidate for using them up after your Thanksgiving feast. Inside the baked pastry triangles, add shredded roast turkey, mango chutney and leftover mashed potatoes. If you can't find fresh mangoes, a cranberry chutney like this one from Epicurious would also be delightful.
Sizzle Enchiladas
Spicy dishes are a great choice for the night after Thanksgiving. For something unique, try this Turkey Enchiladas recipe from Serious Eats. It's great because it uses up leftover turkey and gives you an opportunity to make a batch of Mole Poblano sauce from scratch, like this one also from Serious Eats (an accomplishment in its own right!).
With a little creativity, figuring out what to do with leftover turkey and many of the other ingredients on your holiday table can be a fun cooking exercise where you transform scraps into mouthwatering dishes worthy of inviting friends over for dinner a second time. Here's to making the most of the holiday bounty!

In particular, Orwell's essay "Why I Write" resonated with me at a deep level. I read the piece again recently, and I'm still struck by his explanation of what motivated him as writer and--arguably--perhaps all writers. He says there are four main motives for writing:
- Sheer egoism. Desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after death, to get your own back on the grown-ups who snubbed you in childhood, etc., etc. It is humbug to pretend this is not a motive, and a strong one. (hmmm...no comment).
- Aesthetic enthusiasm. Perception of beauty in the external world, or, on the other hand, in words and their right arrangement. Pleasure in the impact of one sound on another, in the firmness of good prose or the rhythm of a good story. Desire to share an experience which one feels is valuable and ought not to be missed. (I do like to read out loud--to myself, not to others!--to hear how the words flow. I'm not much of a poet, but I like to read and write a phrase that soars. And I really enjoy when a writer seems to revel in sharing a great experience with me).
- Historical impulse. Desire to see things as they are, to find out true facts and store them up for the use of posterity.
- Political purpose. — Using the word 'political' in the widest possible sense. Desire to push the world in a certain direction, to alter other peoples' idea of the kind of society that they should strive after. Once again, no book is genuinely free from political bias. The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude.
These last two points do much to drive and inform my own historical novels. I don't believe in absolute truth, or in one set historical narrative. I do hope, however, to get readers to question their perceptions of society, culture, gender, power and privilege--to rethink what they think they know. While my agenda is wrapped up in what I hope is a compelling mystery, its certainly there.
I'm curious though. Do you agree with Orwell? Are books by nature political, in the widest sense of the term? Harry Potter? Twilight? The Lord of the Rings?

The stink bug is reproducing very rapidly and spreading to each and every state at an unbelievable speed. Unfortunately pest control experts have still not been able to find a surefire way of eradicating this menace or even found any effective way of controlling their breeding. Although it has been discovered that most agricultural pesticides can be used to kill the baby bugs but how to get rid of stink bugs in the adult stage has been more difficult because it is resistance to these chemicals and being very strong fliers, they are able to fly from state to state spreading their genre far and wide. Even the pesticides that are used on the adult stink bugs are found to be not effective on a second generation due to there being no residual properties left, and any area treated once has to be treated over and over again to stop fresh invasions.
It has also been found that on the whole the bug is very resistant to any kind of chemical which makes it even more difficult to enforce stink bug control to the masses that are being reproduced rapidly. They also seem to have the potential to develop further resistance to pesticides when kept on being used over and over again. 2010, it is believed has been a very good for the obnoxious stink bug because even though they usually have the capacity to produce only a single generation a year, this year has found them increasing their production rate up to three generations in some areas which has led to a mass explosion of stink bugs in one year and the year not even at an end as such.
This no doubt is one of the reasons why homeowners in the northeast are complaining of wholesale invasion of stink bugs climbing the outer walls of their homes in thousands and somehow or other finding their way into the homes as well. As bad as it sounds for those homeowners, it is said to be even worse for farmers who have found to their dismay whole hoards of stink bugs feeding on their crops of blackberry, raspberry, apple, pear, tomatoes, soya bean and cotton and become such a nuisance as well as a serious threat to agriculture and farmlands. Apparently they leave no tree or plant unharmed and most farmers have had to face immense losses due to the damage caused to fruits and crops by stink bugs by causing them to be discolored and unhealthy looking resulting in farmers finding it impossible to sell them to retail outlets.
There is now even more cause for alarm after it was recently found that the stink bug had made its way into California which could create a frightening impact on the state's agriculture industry. One dare not think what the warm climate of California could mean to the stink bug which is always looking for heat and light. If they are allowed to spread their wings and prosper in the sunshine state, which has only very mild winters, these nasty creatures could cause damage running up to millions of dollars, not to mention the shortage of food supplies that could result in such a situation. This makes it a serious enough situations for the government to intervene immediately as otherwise the country could be facing very serious consequences due to the population explosion of stink bugs before long.

The Bullingdon Club 1914: From the Queen's uncle to a Russian prince, they belonged to the wild Oxford dining society. Within four years, a quarter would die in the trenches
Dressed in their tailcoats and bow ties, these 24 young men were the cream of Edwardian society. As members of the exclusive and often outrageous Bullingdon Club at Oxford University, their faces tell of wealth and privilege, with expectations of power and influence.
Of course, the club is best known today for the membership many years later of David Cameron, Boris Johnson and George Osborne — and the shameless drunken behaviour of the modern-day products of some of the country's most expensive fee-paying schools.
But this rare photograph carries an altogether greater poignancy — capturing a tragic turning point in our history. Within a few weeks of the picture being taken in 1914, those 24 men's futures evaporated as the world went to war.
A quarter of them would be killed, some before the year was out. Others would be wounded, and nearly all would witness horrors that cannot be imagined. Many served with great gallantry, and eight won the Military Cross for real acts of heroism.
This rare photograph of the Bullingdon Club in 1914 carries great poignancy. Within a few weeks of the picture being taken in 1914, those 24 men's futures evaporated as the world went to war. The six circled would die in the Great War
The photograph has now come to light after amateur historian Mike Bignell spotted it for sale in Canada on the online auction site, eBay.
It is believed that the photo belonged to a Russian prince called Serge Obolensky — one of those pictured in the club's trademark primrose yellow waistcoats.
Four members of the club — the future Edward VIII, Prince Paul of Serbia, Denzil Fortescue (son of George V's aide-de-camp) and Michael Bowes-Lyon (brother of the future Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother) — were unavailable for the photo session.
The Bullingdon was formed in 1780 for elite Oxford sportsmen and gained an unwelcome reputation for hell-raising. On two notorious occasions, in 1894 and 1927, its members smashed almost every window in a quad at Christ Church.
After his election as Tory leader, David Cameron admitted he was 'desperately embarrassed' by his student antics as part of the exclusive club. 'We do things when we are young that we deeply regret,' he said.
But his Bullingdon forebears, who fought so bravely for their country, came from a much more dignified generation.
Here, GUY WALTERS reveals what happened to them.
1. Lord Whitchester, 20
At the outbreak of war, he joined the Lovat Scouts, with whom he fought at Gallipoli. He then served with the Grenadier Guards before commanding the 4th Battalion of the King's Own Scottish Borderers in the 1920s.
An MP in Scotland for 12 years, he had to resign his seat when he inherited his dukedoms — Buccleuch and Queensberry. He died in 1973.
2. Leslie Harris, 21
Served in the 9th Royal Lancers and survived the war. He died in 1972.
3. Johnny Bevan, 20
Bevan joined the Hertfordshire Regiment of the Territorials in August 1914, and served with distinction. He was awarded a Military Cross in 1917, and was made a staff officer under Field Marshal Wilson in 1918.
After the war, it is widely thought he was involved in intelligence work. In 1939, he joined MI5, where he was involved in drawing up military deception campaigns.
His greatest success was Operation Bodyguard, which deceived the Germans as to where the Allies were going to land in France in 1944. After the war, he returned to his stockbroking job and died in December 1978.
4. Alexander Renton, 21
The son of a German mother, his parents' home in London had its windows broken at the outbreak of war. However, Renton's loyalty lay very much with Britain and he won a Military Cross serving with the 11th Hussars.
He survived the war, and he unsuccessfully stood as a Conservative candidate in the 1924 and 1929 general elections, as well as in a by-election in 1928. He died in 1975.
Both Boris Johnson and David Cameron were members of the exclusive Bullingdon Club
5. Oswald Skinner, 23
After serving with the 16th Lancers, Skinner joined the 6th Squadron of the newly formed RAF in 1918. Skinner, who was a Lieutenant, would have flown RE8 biplanes.
He survived the war, and lived in Kenya as part of the Happy Valley set. He died in 1930.
6. Lord Stanley, 20
The eldest son of the 17th Earl of Derby, he fought with the Grenadier Guards and was wounded twice before becoming the adjutant of the Household Battalion. He left the Army in 1917, and in June that year he was elected to Parliament in a by-election in Liverpool.
Thanks to his intelligence and family connections, he was predicted to have a stellar political career ahead of him, but he died in 1938 from a form of cancer called lymphosarcoma at the age of just 44, when he was serving in the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs.
7. Michael Lee, 22
A Lieutenant in the 6th Dragoon Guards, he had survived almost four years of war until he was killed on the Somme in March 1918. He was posthumously awarded the Military Cross the following year.
'When the line was broken in the face of overwhelming odds, he was sent up with his troop to cover the retirement,' his citation reads. 'Although the troop suffered heavily in bitter fighting, the withdrawal was successful. It was due to his determination and fighting capacity that a disaster was averted.'
8. Douglas Stirling-Stuart, 21
The younger brother of fellow member James Stirling-Stuart, he served with the Scots Greys and survived the war. A descendant of Robert the Bruce, he lived on his estate in Scotland and died in 1977.
9. Arthur Mills, 23
The son of the 2nd Baron Hillingdon, he served with the West Kent Yeomanry at Gallipoli in 1915. He survived that campaign and became Conservative MP for Uxbridge in 1915, before inheriting his father's seat in the Lords in 1918. He died in December 1952.
10. Arthur Burn, 22
A Second Lieutenant in the 1st (Royal) Dragoons, Burn was the son of Colonel Charles Burn, the MP for Torquay, who was also serving in France. On October 29, 1914, Arthur was killed by shellfire in Hollebeke near Ypres in Belgium. He had only been commissioned for two months, and had been on the front line for ten days.
When his father found out, he received permission and the use of a car from General French, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, to discover the circumstances of his son's death.

11. James Stirling-Stuart, 23
When war broke out, he joined the Scots Guards and went with the British Expeditionary Force to serve in Flanders and France. On November 9, 1914, he was wounded at the First Battle of Ypres and died the same day in a nearby school that was being used as a hospital.
12. Prince Serge Obolensky, 24
The Russian prince (who spoke with a Glaswegian accent thanks to his Scottish nanny) was arrested in 1914 with fellow 'Bullers' Prince Paul of Serbia and Oldric Portal and Viscount Cranborne a week before the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand (which triggered the start of World War I) for breaching the peace. They were playing bicycle-polo on the cobbles in Oxford while training for the varsity match against Cambridge.
Subsequently, he enlisted in the Russian Chevalier Guards regiment as a private and rose to the rank of major by the end of the war. He also served in World War II as a colonel in the U.S. Army and joined the top-secret Office of Strategic Services, which was the forerunner to the CIA.
Good-looking and charming, he married three times (including to the daughter of Tsar Alexander II and the daughter of JJ Astor, the American tycoon who died on the Titanic), and even danced in a waltz contest with Marilyn Monroe. He died in Michigan in 1978.
13. Alwyne Pelly, 21
The son of a baronet (and distant cousin of Prince Harry's hell-raising night-club owner chum Guy Pelly), he served in the Household Battalion in France and Mesopotamia and won the Military Cross on October 28, 1918, in Huwaish in what is now Iraq.
According to his medal citation, 'he led his squadron with great dash under heavy fire against superior enemy numbers, inflicting heavy losses and getting to within 200 yards of their guns. His bold action delayed the enemy's advance at a critical moment'.
After the war, he became a cavalry instructor. He died in 1981.
14. Lord Ednam, 20
The eldest son of the 2nd Earl of Dudley, he joined the 10th Hussars in 1914. He was wounded but managed to survive the war.
In the 1920s and 1930s, he served as Conservative MP for Hornsey and then Wednesbury, and was Parliamentary Private Secretary at the India Office.
Later in life, he met a German who he thought he had killed on the battlefield, and the two men became good friends. He died in 1969.
15. Ronald Stanyforth, 22
During the Great War, he served in the 17th Lancers, was mentioned in despatches, was wounded, and won the Military Cross. A brilliant cricketer, he captained England as wicket-keeper in the Test series against South Africa in 1927 to 1928. In World War II, he was made Aide de Camp to Alan Brooke, who, as Chief of the Imperial General Staff, was Churchill's right-hand man. Stanyforth later became Chief of Staff to the 21st Army Group. He died in 1964.
16. William Codrington, 22
The son of a Lieutenant-General, he joined the 16th Lancers and won a Military Cross in 1919. After the war, he had a successful business career and between 1940 and 1945 became Assistant Under-Secretary of the Foreign Office. He also was Chief Security Officer of the War Cabinet between 1942 and 1945. He died in April 1963.
17. Barney Charlesworth, 22
Served in the 6th Dragoon Guards as a lieutenant — fighting in Ypres, the Somme and at Arras. In July 1918, he was awarded the Military Cross after being sent on a perilous mission to gather information about the Germans.
'Despite heavy rifle fire and machine-gun fire, he led his patrol right through the village and located the enemy's position,' states his citation. 'He collected some small parties of men and with them maintained a footing in the village.'
During World War II, he became Aide de Camp to Alan Brooke, and was killed in a plane crash in Yalta in 1945.
18. Geoffrey Colman, 22
The heir to the Colman mustard fortune, he joined the 7th (S) Battalion of the Rifle Brigade and was transferred to the Machine Gun Corps. He served in France, was wounded in January 1916, but did survive the war. He died in March 1935.
His son is Sir Timothy Colman, who was made a Knight of the Garter in 1996.
Lord Stanley died in 1938 from a form of cancer called lymphosarcoma at the age of just 44, when he was serving in the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs
19. Philip Colville-Smith, 52
As a mature student, he was considerably older than his fellow Bullingdon members and was too old to fight in the war.
A member of St John's College, he was knighted in 1925 and became Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of English Freemasons. He consecrated more than 600 lodges and chapters. He died in November 1937.
20. Niel Shaw-Stewart, 20
A Lieutenant in the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Rifle Brigade, he was wounded at Ypres and was killed at Guillemont in France on August 21, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme.
21. John Rawnsley, 22
A Lieutenant in 12th Lancers, he won a Military Cross in July 1918 for using a rifle in a very exposed position, 'thus repelling the enemy advance and protecting the left flank of his squadron,' according to his medal citation.
'Owing to this action, a battalion was enabled to advance. He remained under heavy fire, supporting the advance and causing the enemy many casualties.'
He rose to the rank of major and lived out his days in Lincolnshire until he died in 1957.
22. Oldric Portal
The son of a baronet and banknote paper manufacturer, he was commissioned into the Household Battalion of the 1st Life Guards and served in France in Belgium. In 1916, he was devastated to learn that his brother, Raymond, had been killed in the Battle of Jutland.
Then, on May 3, 1917, he, too, was killed, while attempting to relieve a battalion in which his fellow Bullingdon member, Michael Bowes-Lyon (a brother of the late Queen Mother), had been taken prisoner.
23. Ralph Gibbs, 23
Joined the North Somerset Yeomanry as a Second Lieutenant in 1912 and rose to the rank of captain. He saw heavy fighting at Ypres, although unlike so many of his fellow Bullingdon members, he was not decorated for gallantry.
After the war, he was a made a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Corps of Military Police. He lived in Hertfordshire and died in 1957.
24. Alwyne Hobson, 22
Commissioned into the 2nd Life Guards in August 1914. But on May 13, 1915, he was killed (aged 23) during the Second Battle of Ypres. He was one of 70,000 British and Allied soldiers who were killed or wounded in a battle that ended in a stalemate.

If there is one word that sums up web design in 2011, it's flexibility. Browsing the web is not only about sitting at a desktop computer with a 17-inch screen anymore. People are visiting their favorite websites from smartphones, tablets, netbooks, and other web-enabled devices. Modern web designers have to anticipate these and any other devices when they create web designs. 2011 design is clean, sleek and thoroughly modern, with little touches that bring a little organic life and movement to even the simplest designs.
Although beauty and quality design are important for any web design, in 2011 it's all about functionality. 2011 web browsers want sites that are easy to navigate and reflect real-world experiences. They want to connect to their favorite sites through social networking tools and real human interaction. Your web design can impress other designers, but if it doesn't captivate and connect with the audience, it is not an effective design. Clever designs integrated with harmonious color schemes, intuitive layouts, and accessibility and functionality create web designs that will work well in 2011.
1. Simplicity. If your message is good, you don't need competing bells and whistles to try to shout it to your audience. But simple doesn't have to mean boring: a simple color scheme can mean shades of one color or two contrasting colors, not just html-style black on white. Working within one color family is much more pleasing to the eye than incorporating a rainbow of different colors into your design.
2. Web designers are finally moving over to CSS3 and HTML5 en masse. Flash has been the dominant program in web design for several years, but new technologies like the iPad demand more sophisticated tools, and HTML5 is here to help. If you aren't already familiar with these new tools, getting to know them can help you stay on the cutting edge.
3. Being mobile ready doesn't mean just creating a streamlined version of your site that smartphone-using browsers can access easily on the go. For brand continuity, it's important that your style and look from your original site be represented on your mobile site as well. New technologies allow you to design your entire site to be compatible with the user's viewing device, and you can include an option to hop over to the original mobile-optimized site from the mobile-specific one if desired. Keep in mind smartphones are set to outsell personal computers this year. If you're not designing for smartphones, you're not designing for real-world users.
4.Touch screens, accelerometers and other tactile integrations mean that technology has begun to correspond to physical reality more than ever. That means users expect to approach your site in a more tangible way pointing and dragging, turning the screen to rotate a picture, and so on. Maximize this potential by designing your site to be touchscreen-friendly and totally intuitive.
5. With the success of magazine-friendly e-book readers like the Nook, the magazine style digital layout is seeing a surge in popularity. That means your site is laid out horizontally, with users flipping or sliding from page to page, as if they were reading a magazine. This creates an integrated, professional experience, and is great for showcasing gorgeous photos without too much distracting explanatory text. For example, if you were showing a slideshow of engagement rings, a magazine layout would allow the user a good view of each diamond, with more information on each ring available simply by clicking.
6. 3D movies are blowing up the box office, and 3D TV's are even on the horizon, so it makes sense that the 3D effect has traveled into web design as well. Depth perception creates dimension, giving the sense that some parts of your design jump out of the screen, while others recede into the distance. This can highlight the important parts of your site, while making sure more boring details are present but don't detract from the exciting elements of the design.
7. We all know the power of a single, perfect photo. Harness that memorable impact by using a large-scale photo backdrop—a single photo that serves as the backdrop to your entire site. Make sure it is content-appropriate and the right kind of photo to represent your brand, as it is sure to have a lasting impact on the user. Integrate text over the photo by using transparency and a coordinating color scheme.
8. At this point, most of the good domain names are taken. Instead of coming up with a ridiculous and non-memorable .com address, utilize one of the biggest web design trends of 2011 and opt for a creative domain like .me or .us. That will open up your possibilities and allow for a more straightforward web address as long as you act fast.
9. One of the hottest trends in web and advertising design in 2011 is the QR, or Quick Response, code. A square background with a unique pattern, a QR code allows a user to snap a photo of an ad they see on a bus stop or in a magazine, which directs their phone's browser to your site. Using a QR code helps today's connected customers remain in contact with your site no matter where they are.
10. Many sites include a blog-like section, with updated posts in a reverse-chronological format. In 2011, web designers are taking this one step further, with art-directed blogging blog posts that go beyond the usual text-and-photo layout with creative typography, layouts, graphics, pull quotes, and photo captions. These blog posts resemble magazine articles, and show the influence that old-fashioned print design standards are having on the web.

Why don't you have your logic that is renaming the original partitions maintain information somewhere ( hey let's be original and keep it in a table ) so that when you need to generate your index rename statements it can look up and translate and then generate the sql that you need.
You can spool out the generated sql if you so wish and then just execute the generated sql.
Sql that generates other sql ... that's been going on in the Oracle database world for 20 odd years give or take ... Received on Sun Feb 20 2011 - 16:06:44 CST

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
My name is Meghan and I have inattentive type ADHD.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (formerly known as ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. It has three subtypes: inattentive type, hyperactive-impulsive type, or combined type. I'm oh-so-lucky you guys and I've been diagnosed not once but twice with inattentive type, though this is the first time I've publicly discussed it.
I'm not the first person with ADHD to keep their diagnosis on the D.L., but the general public is rude as hell about invisible diagnoses. So today, I come to you with some personal anecdotes and general rules about how not to be a dick to your friend who has ADHD.
And while it should go without saying I want to make it clear that I am not attempting to speak for everyone who has ADHD. These are based entirely on my own experiences and frustrations but I think that those of you who have ADHD will relate.
1. Never EVER say "I'm so ADD lolz!"
This statement is actually true of any neurological/developmental/mental disorder -- but man is it frustrating to hear when you have ADHD. It's rude, inaccurate, and not actually funny. When people say this, it diminishes the experiences of those of us who are struggling to manage our disorders.
I understand not everyone has the means or access to be professionally diagnosed, so I recognize it's not my place to tell anyone to just get a diagnosis. But this also doesn't give you carte blanche to claim you have a neurological disorder when really you just drank too much coffee.
2. Enough with the jokes.
Speaking of things that aren't funny, enough with the squirrel jokes. By all means, make fun of something I have no control over, you are just so clever. Next thing we know you'll be making fun of people who have Tourrette's by imitating their vocal tics, because you're just so edgy.
Seriously though, "squirrel/shiny object" jokes trivialize our disorder and reduce it to a single symptom. For ADHD peeps, our attention wanders and we can be easily distracted by new things. But if someone trusts you enough to reveal their diagnosis to you, don't make a joke about it.
3. Oh and by the way, ADHD isn't just about a lack of focus.
While it's true I have been diagnosed with inattentive type, having trouble paying attention is hardly where the diagnosis ends. According to the CDC & the DSM-5 someone diagnosed with inattentive type also has trouble being and staying organized, difficulty paying attention to detail, is forgetful, and loses things often. The full diagnostic list for both types is at the link.
So while I do have trouble paying attention, I am also quite forgetful (I have been known to forget what I was going to say mid-sentence) and I lose things all the time, which is less than helpful when you struggle with organization as well. For people with hyperactive type, it's a different experience. I can't speak for how different the experience is, because I don't have combined type or hyperactive type, but inattentiveness is the very tip of the iceberg.
And of course, in addition to having ADHD by itself many people have co-morbid diagnoses of anxiety and depression which is a particularly fun mental health cocktail, let me tell you.
4. But you're not a child! Isn't this just a learning disability?
While it is true ADHD does have a huge impact on how people learn, it is not just a learning disability. It impacts all of us who have it in our day-to-day lives regardless of age or enrollment status. Trouble with organization isn't just being unable to find your homework, it's being unable to keep your apartment clean because you're overwhelmed by the thought of keeping it in order. Forgetfulness isn't just forgetting you have a test until you walk into class on test day (been there, done that, it sucks); it's forgetting your boss asked you to take care of something three times and you still haven't done it.
Having ADHD has life-long, real world implications. Don't even try to tell us otherwise.
5. Shouldn't you have grown out of it? Can't you just pay attention?
I have actually had a licensed physician say this to me, in spite of being given the same diagnosis by two different professionals over a time span of 10 years. She said I was probably just going to "grow out of my ADHD," and didn't need medication and anyway she didn't prescribe it (BTW, anyone want to recommend a good primary care physician?).
People with ADHD have gotten the "Why don't you just pay attention/try harder/get organized" speech by well-meaning and not-so-well-meaning strangers, friends and family members hundreds of time. Trust me. Just like you can't make a heinous sinus infection go away by trying really hard, if you have ADHD, you cannot simply pay attention by trying really hard. If it were just about trying harder, then we would have already done so. It's about brain chemistry and we can't just wish that away.
6. "ADHD was totally invented by Big Pharma."
It is ironic to me that the majority of people who complain about "big pharma" are neurotypical, able-bodied people, with no history of mental illness or long-term physical illness. There is actually some evidence that ADHD has been documented as early as the 1700s.
It's easy to blame stuff on "Big Pharma" because it's an idea you don't actually have to fight. While people can and do live their lives without ever taking medication for ADHD, there are many who do and have a better quality of life. What is needed is an engaged discussion about the impact of large pharmaceutical companies on our health and society, not telling people their diagnoses aren't real.
7. No, I will not commit a federal offense for you.
While we are on the topic of medication, it's none of your freaking business if someone is taking medication because you are neither their doctor nor pharmacist. Don't ask about it. But if someone does share with you that they are on medication to help manage their ADHD, for goodness sake, don't ask if you can have some.
First of all, almost all medications with an on-label use of managing ADHD are controlled substances. This means that it's a felony to even share the medication, let alone sell it. Second, it is a prescription medication that is closely monitored by a medical professional for a reason. The side effects, as with most prescriptions, can be serious and life threatening.
You wouldn't take someone's heart medication just because you had a little chest pain would you? Having a big project, a term paper, or wanting to lose some weight are your own problems and you don't need someone else's medication to deal with them.
8. Don't think I don't like you because I sometimes have trouble being a "good" friend.
People with ADHD can be forgetful and disorganized. We appear to flake on plans, forget birthdays or other important information, and we may come across as impolite in conversation. Sometimes we will interrupt the conversation. These characteristics are part of our diagnosis and we are (hopefully) working on coping with these problems in a healthy and meaningful way.
So if we get you a birthday card a month after your birthday, it's not a weak gesture. We're doing it because you're our friend, we like you, and we like being friends with you. And really, isn't friendship about accepting someone's struggles and faults and liking them regardless?
So those are some of the things I have personally dealt with, but I'm sure that there are many other "Actually ADHD" peeps who can and should contribute to the conversation. Have you had any luck (gently) educating people about ADHD? What kind of mystic sorcery did you use to accomplish this? Please share your experiences in the comments!
