Decisions Essay Research Paper Decisions are an
Decisions Essay, Research Paper
Decisions are an inevitable part of life. The effects of our decisions that we make will have a significant impact on our lives. In The Things They Carried, Tim O?Brien was faced with a critical decision. My senior year of high school, I too was faced with a decision that would effect where I would go, what I would do, and who I?d be with. Every senior in high school was faced with this same big ?Senior Decision? of which college to choose. We all realized quickly that there were so many choices out there and what seemed like so little time to choose.
In the novel, The Things They Carried, O?Brien wrote about the decision of whether to stay in the United States, face the draft and fight for something that he felt was against his morals, or to run to Canada to escape from the pressures of the draft and bring shame and humiliation to his family and town. When old man Elroy took O?Brien out on the boat on the Rainy River to Canada and gave him the chance to flee, O?Brien just sat there and couldn?t. The old man started fishing like nothing was different. O?Brien sat there as his life started to flash before him. He saw himself at six dressed up as a cowboy, at twelve he was a short stop, and at sixteen he was all dressed up for his first prom. On the shoreline of the Rainy River, he saw hallucinations of his family, the Chamber of Commerce, old teachers, girlfriends, cheerleaders, and old buddies. He even imagined that he saw people that had no major impact on his life. Abraham Lincoln, members of the United States Senate and the last survivor of the American Civil War were others that he envisioned standing on the bank of the Rainy River. O?Brien sat on the boat, grasped the edge of the boat and tried to force himself overboard. It just wasn?t meant to be.
Having a mother who is actively involved in education can be a pain. My mom had me start to look at colleges early. I went to my first college fair as a sophomore and my first college tour early as a junior. The college mail started pouring in after the college fair to announce open houses and campus tours. My mom basically reached into the pile of college mail sitting in a box and pulled out an open house notice to Hartwick. It was a cool, crisp fall morning when we arrived and the leaves on the trees were blazing reds and oranges. It was a beautiful campus in the hills and the whole scene took me. The day was nice and the campus was gorgeous! After the tour of the campus my mom stressed that it was only the first college that we looked at and that there were many more options to explore. I was sure that Hartwick was where I wanted to go.
After I had a taste of what a college campus and town was like I couldn?t wait to go. Like Tim O?Brien, I too was feeling the pressures from people and my situation. He felt pressure about making the right decision, not letting people down and getting away from the eyes of the world. I had the same feeling. I wanted to choose the right college and the right major so that I could make my family, teachers, and friends proud. The pressure of having my mom looking over me every second of every day was driving me absolutely insane! I was ready to move on, become more independent, and move onto the challenge of higher education.
As time went on, more and more mail came and more appointments were made. The summer of 1999 my mom had to take a trip to Albany and thought that it would be a good chance to catch a glimpse at a couple of other colleges. My mind was made up that I wanted a big college, near or in a large city. So, we made appointments to look at SUNY Albany while we were there and to take a little day trip down to New York City to visit SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).
The Albany campus was nice. It was big, clean, pretty and the people were overall very friendly to me. The campus had this awesome fountain right in the center of it. The main classrooms surrounded it and looked out into the courtyard. One thing that made me a little nervous was the dormitory buildings. They were in high rises and I?m one who is afraid of heights! Another thing that I was a little skeptical about was the stories I had heard about SUNY Albany having a rather high crime rate. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the campus and told me some very interesting facts. I met with an admissions counselor while I was there and discussed the majors that I was considering and what SUNY Albany could offer me.
The next day my mom and I boarded a train to New York City and made our way down the long and confusing streets and avenues of NYC to find FIT. When we arrived there the man at the desk was very rude. We talked to an admissions counselor briefly but we were then shooed out and we soon found ourselves back on the streets of NYC. I just remember the feeling I had the whole time that we were there. I felt ?paranoid?. I didn?t feel safe at all. It was the same feeling that I had at Albany but multiplied by one hundred.
On the way back home to Attica, we had some time to kill so my mom thought that it would be fun to swing back by Oneonta and check out the SUNY School that was there besides Hartwick. Stopping back in that little town was a good thing! I realized then that I didn?t want a city like Albany or New York, but that I didn?t want a little nothing town like Oneonta. The people and facilities at Oneonta were very nice; probably one of the nicest tours that I?ve ever been on to a college.
After that summer and a lot of thinking, I had come to find my happy medium. I had decided on majoring in computer science after much coaxing from my family and thought that the University at Buffalo would be a good choice. It was a rather large school, but in an area that I was familiar with, so I felt safe. I was sure that it was the place for me. I just wanted to blend in, become another person and not have to worry about what other people thought about me. I knew people that already went there and I felt at ease in the Buffalo area. So, I applied early decision to UB and applied to SUNY Buffalo State and Oneonta as back ups. I was sick and tired of living in the small and
Working in the Guidance Office at school gave me an advantage over most. I was actually helping my friends out with their applications and decisions after mine had already been made. Most of my classmates had never even looked at a college campus yet, much less even thought about applying. I felt like I was really ahead of the game and now there was nothing to do but sit back and relax. The day that I got accepted into UB, I remember hugging my mom and crying tears of joy with her. I called my aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparents and friends to tell them the good news. It felt like the happiest moment of my life. I was going to my number one choice school.
In January, my high school basketball coach received a packet from St. John Fisher in my name. When I opened it up, at first I was confused and thought that it was just more junk mail from a college. Apparently, the head coach from Fisher, Phil Kahler, had attended a tournament that our team had played in and was impressed with my skills. Throughout the letter, he expressed his interest in having me join the Fisher Community and playing basketball for the team. My mom read through it and told me not to get too excited until after we talked to my coach and see what he thought. The recruitment letter that I received from Fisher really threw a wrench into my plans. The next day, when I was in the guidance office, I pulled out a book on Fisher and looked over what they had to offer besides basketball. I was pleased to see that it did have my major and was not pleased to see that it cost a lot of money! All that I knew about Fisher, besides that, was what I had learned through a former Attica graduate who came to Fisher as an English major. I knew that it was a small, private, catholic college located in Rochester; a city that I rarely explored. Fisher, from the looks of things, was everything that I was trying to get away from. I wanted large, public, and I certainly wasn?t catholic!
I was very excited about the opportunity that I had been granted. Every time I went out to play basketball, I thought about Fisher. I would be different from everyone else at Attica because rarely there is a female athlete that goes on to continue playing a sport in college.
Making the decision to come to Fisher took a lot of time and a lot of thought. My mom thought that it would be nice if we came out to the college for a day to take a tour. I was all for it since she said that I?d have to miss a day of school. The first time that I drove up to Fisher I was in awe at how beautiful the surroundings were. The little town of Pittsford was quaint and old fashioned looking. I met with an admissions counselor first and she answered some of my questions that my mom and I had. Then we went on a tour of the campus. Everything was such a blur. I just couldn?t believe how beautiful it was and how friendly everyone seemed to be. Coach Kahler had been notified that I was coming and he asked if my mom and I would be willing to have lunch with him in the Fisher dining hall. For some reason, I remember the food being very good then?I don?t know what happened! I was very impressed with my first Fisher experience.
On the way home that night my mom and I talked about the possibilities of me going to Fisher. She wanted to hear my opinion before I heard hers. I explained to her that I had thought of all the pros of going to Fisher and I found only one con. I told her that I really liked it and that I felt at home there already. I could really see myself on that campus in the upcoming fall and I just had a feeling that was the place for me to go. Even if something happened and I couldn?t play ball, I?d still like it there and want to stay. The only bad thing that I thought about Fisher was maybe it was too small. She was happy to hear all of that because she said that she definitely felt better about me going there rather than going to University at Buffalo. My mom thought that I would feel safer and be much happier overall. She told me that maybe the smallness would work to my advantage because then I would be in the same type of learning environment that I had always been in. Attica?s class size averaged about maybe 25 kids to a class, so I wouldn?t have to adjust to a lecture hall that had 300 kids in it. I saw her point and agreed with her. So even though I was ahead of the game to begin with, now I had to start the game all over again. I had to fill out an application, ask for references, and even call up financial aid to have them send me another form to fill out. What a pain it all was and the deadlines seemed to be arriving so quickly.
Fortunately for me, I had a positive feeling about my decision; where O?Brien was forced to choose between the lesser of the two evils. Which choice would he be able to tolerate the most? To fight in Vietnam for a cause he didn?t believe in and possibly die or to run away to Canada leaving everything he knows and disgracing his family. In my situation my ?big decision? does not have the possibility of a tragic consequence. I knew I wanted to go to college, but the real big decision was whether to go to my first choice or this intriguing new alternative that was presented to me in the form of St. John Fisher. Either way, I was going to college something that I wanted to do. Where O?Brien was choosing the option that he would be able to bear with the easiest.

Yup this site is definitely morphing into a social media website, this transition has been happening for the past two years.
Which is fine. The main thing I am concerned with, is the "advice" part of the website being drowned out by ads, MyTakes, mention-blasting questions, and random BuzzFeed quiz requests!
I voted C on the poll.21|10|0

After a car accident caused a traffic standstill - keys were brought to us by boat. Even were nice enough to mail us items we left in dishwasher.
First class property with First Class Owners.
We have stayed here for several years and thoroughly enjoy the property. Amenities and condition are top-notch. The view is spectacular from the bedroom and the large well-shaded balcony deck and the location is right next to the Bridgewater Plaza and Marina which makes it a convenient and interesting location. Security is excellent and evenings and nights are quiet and peaceful. Residents and other renters are very nice which lends to a very enjoyable and pleasant way to visit Smith Mountain Lake. Our preferred location for our annual visits.
My wife and two sons (7&4) spent a week at this condo through Labor Day. We had a great time. The condo is perfectly located in SML and the landlords are terrific to deal with. The condo is beautiful, clean and extremely comfortable. The view from the balcony is one of the best in SML. The garaged reserved parking at the condo is extremely convenient and within a few feet of the elevator which is also a few feet from your condo...that was awesome for coming and going. The pool is great and everything you need is right next door...restaurants, marina, gift shops, amusements for the kids etc.
One of the best vacations we have taken, We will be back.
I would highly recommend this condo !
We stayed at SML over Labor Day weekend and had a terrific time. The condo has an excellent view of the lake and is very well kept. The unit is spotless and all the furniture is new and clean. The unit has very modern appliances, TV's, etc. Secure parking is directly under the building and the elevators also have keypad security. The building is next door to Bridgewater Center restaurants and shops. We rented a boat at Bridgewater Marina. We loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone for a weekend or a week. The only drawback was that there's no overnight docking on site.
This unit is as described. Very clean, great modern interior decor and right off the elevator -no long walking. The view from this unit sunrise to sunset is fantastic. Up high and not over possibly noisy pool..Lake view could not be better, Also bridge not visible so no interference with your nature view. Highly recommended. !
Absolutely the best possible rental on Smith Mountain Lake. Unit is furnished like a private home, not a rental condo. Very tastefully done and the view and location couldn't be better. This is our 7th rental on this lake and this one beats them all. Two outstanding guest rooms and master bedroom and master bath have to be seen to really appreciate the luxury of the place. Very secure and withing walking distance of everything.

Embryonic stem cell lines are cultures of cells derived from the epiblast tissue of the inner cell mass of a blastocyst or earlier morula stage embryos. A blastocyst is an early stage embryo—approximately four to five days old in humans and consisting of 50–150 cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and give rise during development to all derivatives of the three primary germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. In other words, they can develop into each of the more than 200 cell types of the adult body when given sufficient and necessary stimulation for a specific cell type. They do not contribute to the extra-embryonic membranes or the placenta.
Talking Points Memoby Christina BellatoniAugust 23, 2010
A U.S. district court today halted the federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research, saying it involves the destruction of human embryos, potentially re-igniting a longtime cultural hot button issue just in time for the fall elections. The Washington-based court was ruling in favor of a June lawsuit filed by a researcher objecting to President Obama's policy allowing federal funding. Obama overturned former President George W. Bush's policy by implementing new National Institutes of Health guidelines shortly after taking office. Obama's March 2009 decision reversed Bush's August 2001 actions. Congress twice tried to circumvent Bush, passing a bill allowing for federal funding, but Bush vetoed the measure each time.
When signing the executive order, Obama talked about the "difficult and delicate balance" of such research, which could lead to "medical miracles" but also upsets many people who believe the process ends a life. The president said that research has great potential and "with proper guidelines and strict oversight, the perils can be avoided."Obama said:
But in recent years, when it comes to stem cell research, rather than furthering discovery, our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values. In this case, I believe the two are not inconsistent. As a person of faith, I believe we are called to care for each other and work to ease human suffering. I believe we have been given the capacity and will to pursue this research – and the humanity and conscience to do so responsibly.U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth — who initially threw the suit out, but found it in his court again when an appeals court ruled the plaintiffs did have grounds to sue — today ordered that the NIH and Department of Health and Human Services are "enjoined from implementing, applying, or taking any action whatsoever" as it relates to the guidelines, "or otherwise funding research involving human embryonic stem cells as contemplated in the guidelines." Key to Lamberth's ruling is Congress' Dickey-Wicker amendment, which made federal funding illegal to begin with. Here's how the New York Times described it last spring:
The ban, known as the Dickey-Wicker amendment, first became law in 1996, and has been renewed by Congress every year since. It specifically bans the use of tax dollars to create human embryos — a practice that is routine in private fertility clinics — or for research in which embryos are destroyed, discarded or knowingly subjected to risk of injury. At first, the ban stood in the way of taxpayer-financed embryonic stem cell research, because embryos are destroyed when stem cells are extracted from them. But in August 2001, in a careful compromise, President Bush opened the door a tiny crack, by ordering that tax dollars could be used for studies on a small number of lines, or colonies, of stem cells already extracted from embryos — so long as federal researchers did not do the extraction themselves.The ruling was such a surprise that several organizations who are considered experts on stem cell research hadn't even heard about it when contacted by TPM for reaction. But once they studied up on the ruling, they said long legal battles are expected to go on.
A representative for one of those groups who declined to be named said most stem cell research advocates have long believed the issue is far from settled. "Until there is some final determination on this, this is going to keep going through the courts," the source said. Bloomberg reported last fall that the pro-life groups who brought the lawsuit, including an embryo-adoption agency and the Christian Medical Association, were told by the same judge their case didn't have standing. "Embryos lack standing because they are not persons under the law" and the unborn have no right to life protected under the Constitution's 14th Amendment, Lamberth ruled, Bloomberg reported.The White House and HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Justice Department is reviewing the ruling, DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said.

Sarah vetos Britney!
March 26, 2002
Sarah Jessica Parker has refused to allow Britney Spears to guest star on Sex and The City as Samantha's niece. Apparently Parker went a little wild, saying that she had worked too damned hard to be upstaged by a Mouseketeer. Maybe Sarah should remember her own early acting career – ummm Footloose, we could go on. We gave you a chance Sarah.
Girl power for Geri?
She is always doing something isn't she? If it's not yoga, fighting with Robbie Williams, getting skinnier, it has to do with her love life. Geri Halliwell has sent tongues wagging when she visited the five-star Fairmont Whistler Chateau Hotel in the Canadian Ski Resort of Whistler with a female friend. The ex Spice Girl booked two rooms at the hotel but only used one of them. Maybe Geri needed someone to keep her warm through those cold nights.
Permanent Friend

He will get a job in a Dynasty series as the playboy son but it's cancelled after the first episode, an insider revealed. Wonder whether the other Friends cast are happy about this or not because none of them have been very successful in establishing an independent career beyond the million dollar making show.

Evidence of a prehistoric massacre in Kenya extends the history of warfare
The fossilised bones of a group of prehistoric hunter-gatherers who were massacred around 10,000 years ago have been unearthed 30km west of Lake Turkana, Kenya, at a place called Nataruk.

Twelve skeletons were in a relatively complete state, and ten of these showed clear signs of a violent death: including extreme blunt-force trauma to crania and cheekbones, broken hands, knees and ribs, arrow lesions to the neck, and stone projectile tips lodged in the skull and thorax of two men.
Several of the skeletons were found face down; most had severe cranial fractures. Among the in situ skeletons, at least five showed "sharp-force trauma," some suggestive of arrow wounds. Four were discovered in a position indicating their hands had probably been bound, including a woman in the last stages of pregnancy. Fetal bones were uncovered.

The findings suggest these hunter-gatherers, perhaps members of an extended family, were attacked and killed by a rival group of prehistoric foragers. Researchers believe it is the earliest scientifically-dated historical evidence of human conflict -- an ancient precursor to what we call warfare.
The origins of warfare are controversial: whether the capacity for organised violence occurs deep in the evolutionary history of our species, or is a symptom of the idea of ownership that came with the settling of land and agriculture.
"The deaths at Nataruk are testimony to the antiquity of inter-group violence and war," said Dr Marta Mirazon Lahr, from Cambridge's LCHES, who directs the IN-AFRICA Project and led the Nataruk study, published in the journal Nature.
"These human remains record the intentional killing of a small band of foragers with no deliberate burial, and provide unique evidence that warfare was part of the repertoire of inter-group relations among some prehistoric hunter-gatherers," she said.

Now scrubland, 10,000 years ago the area around Nataruk was a fertile lakeshore sustaining a substantial population of hunter-gatherers. The site would have been the edge of a lagoon near the shores of a much larger Lake Turkana, likely covered in marshland and bordered by forest and wooded corridors.
This lagoon-side location may have been an ideal place for prehistoric foragers to inhabit, with easy access to drinking water and fishing -- and consequently, perhaps, a location coveted by others. The presence of pottery suggests the storage of foraged food occurred.

"This would extend the history of the same underlying socio-economic conditions that characterise other instances of early warfare: a more settled, materially richer way of life. However, Nataruk may simply be evidence of a standard antagonistic response to an encounter between two social groups at that time."
Antagonism between hunter-gatherer groups in recent history often resulted in men being killed, with women and children subsumed into the victorious group. At Nataruk, however, it seems few, if any, were spared.
No children were found near or with any of the men. All except one of the juvenile remains are children under the age of six; the exception is a young teenager, aged 12-15 years dentally, but whose bones are noticeably small for his or her age.
Ten skeletons show evidence of major lesions likely to have been immediately lethal. As well as five -- possibly six -- cases of trauma associated with arrow wounds, five cases of extreme blunt-force to the head can be seen, possibly caused by a wooden club. Other recorded traumas include fractured knees, hands and ribs.
Three artefacts were found within two of the bodies, likely the remains of arrow or spear tips. Two of these are made from obsidian: a black volcanic rock easily worked to razor-like sharpness. "Obsidian is rare in other late Stone Age sites of this area in West Turkana, which may suggest that the two groups confronted at Nataruk had different home ranges," said Mirazon Lahr.
One adult male skeleton had an obsidian 'bladelet' still embedded in his skull. It didn't perforate the bone, but another lesion suggests a second weapon did, crushing the entire right-front part of the head and face. "The man appears to have been hit in the head by at least two projectiles and in the knees by a blunt instrument, falling face down into the lagoon's shallow water," said Mirazon Lahr.
Another adult male took two blows to the head -- one above the right eye, the other on the left side of the skull -- both crushing his skull at the point of impact, causing it to crack in different directions.

While we will never know why these people were so violently killed, Nataruk is one of the clearest cases of inter-group violence among prehistoric hunter-gatherers, says Mirazon Lahr, and evidence for the presence of small-scale warfare among foraging societies.
For study co-author Professor Robert Foley, also from Cambridge's LCHES, the findings at Nataruk are an echo of human violence as ancient, perhaps, as the altruism that has led us to be the most cooperative species on the planet.
"I've no doubt it is in our biology to be aggressive and lethal, just as it is to be deeply caring and loving. A lot of what we understand about human evolutionary biology suggests these are two sides of the same coin," Foley said.

In this video she discusses the widespread violations of Baha'is' human rights in Iran as well as her personal experience with Baha'is in light of the baseless accusations that they bear. Ms. Nafisi is not a Baha'i.

Religion once again used as a force for evil and hate. A tool to divide people by those who carefully and ruthlessly apply it as a sword on the heart logic and humanity.
Injustice anywhere to anyone is injustice everywhere to everyone.
By the way, this lecture was AMAZING.

Calcutta, April 27: As the Bengal government began a damage-control exercise to check the wave of panic triggered by the states first confirmed SARS case, a second suspect with unmistakable symptoms landed at the airport today. Jamil Ahmed of Watgunj, returning from Hong Kong and Bangladesh, was detected ill at the airport.
Asitabha Purakayastha the first person from the city to have tested positive for the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome continued to be stable at the Advanced Medical Research Institute (AMRI) but the good news was largely negated by the realisation that the earlier lapses may have led others to be infected, something that cannot be confirmed at least for the next 10 days.
The health department brass, including director of health services Prabhakar Chatterjee, did a round of all three healthcare institutes touched by Purakayastha AMRI, north Calcuttas Sunflower Nursing Home and Beliaghatas state-run Infectious Diseases (ID) Hospital and met in the afternoon to have a plan in place for tackling the disease.
The confused response of the government, however, came through with health department officials and doctors in Calcutta admitting that Purakayastha had shown several SARS symptoms while health minister Surjya Kanta Mishra maintained in Purulia that he did not have any of the physical symptoms of a SARS patient. We cant, therefore, say whether it is a positive SARS case, Mishra said.
Purakayastha, who touched down at the city airport on April 19 after a tour of China and Southeast Asia, was first admitted to Sunflower Nursing Home with a cardiac condition. But with SARS-like symptoms coming up, he was admitted to the ID Hospital. There, however, his cardiac state played up again and Purakayastha apparently without the health departments knowledge was admitted to AMRI by his family.
Then followed a series of goof-ups that, according to experts in the field, could have resulted in Purakayastha spreading the virus to others, most particularly the healthcare workers who handled him directly. The health department lost track of the patient for two whole days (between April 22 and 24) and, even after locating him at AMRI, waited for two more days before owning up to the hospital management that he was a SARS suspect.
We informed the AMRI management of Purakayasthas status only on Saturday after getting the positive result from Punes Institute of Virology, Chatterjee admitted. He refused to explain why this had not been done earlier. Experts said there was time enough for Purakayastha to infect others.
Anyone who comes in close contact with a SARS patient during the period when the outward symptoms are yet to manifest themselves stands a reasonable chance of getting infected, School of Tropical Medicine director Jayashree Mitra said.
Though doctors said not everyone who came in touch with Purakayastha would get the disease, they admitted that droplets of cough or sneeze from an infected person on even telephones and utensils could, if touched by others, give them the infection.
The health minister said there was no reason for panic. Though the antibody in the blood serum collected from Purakayastha tested positive at the Pune institute, the symptoms showed by him do not match World Health Organisation-provided SARS conditions, he said.
In Calcutta, health department officials decided that every teaching hospital in the city would have 10 beds reserved for potential SARS victims. ID Hospital, too, geared up to battle SARS more effectively with a cardiac monitor and ventilator to treat patients like Purakayastha who had to be shifted elsewhere because of the heart attack he suffered even as his body was battling SARS.
The Purakayastha family will be kept in isolation and observed for the next 10 days. I have also asked the AMRI authorities to carefully monitor the patients who shared the intensive therapy unit with Purakayastha and report the slightest SARS symptoms, Chatterjee said, adding that their blood could be tested by the Institute of Virology.
Samples of Jamil Ahmeds blood are also being sent there. Ahmed, who arrived here this afternoon with SARS symptoms, was whisked away to ID Hospital.
All incoming passengers from SARS-affected nations like China and Hong Kong, who went there after November 1, will be carefully screened at the airport if they show any of the SARS symptoms. Senior health officials are going to meet all chief medical officers of health, hospital superintendents, Airports Authority of India and Calcutta Port Trust officials for a review of the situation on April 30.

The New York Times' Green Smoothie Taste Challenge
Byline: Laura Michael (NFOSD Board member and owner of Dysphagia Solutions)
When you are having trouble swallowing, eating enough green leafy vegetables can be a unique challenge, so I was excited when I saw the May 2, 2014, New York Times article "Drink Your Greens" by Martha Rose Shulman. Click here to read Martha's article.
"Hydration, Hydration, Hydration"
Byline: Laura Michael, NFOSD Board Member
[Editor's note. We published a similar article a year ago, but with the temperatures climbing and summer around the corner, we've updated the article to keep everyone properly hydrated.]
Water is an essential element for sustaining life. The human body is composed of more than 60% water. Without water, we won't survive for more than a few days.
Why won't my child eat like other's of his (or her) age?
Byline: Donna Edwards, MA CCC-SLP, BRS-S
[NFOSD note. Due to the significant volume of emails and calls we receive from families who have a child with a feeding or swallowing disorder, we reached out to Donna Edwards for her insight into what makes this such a difficult diagnosis and treatment. Donna spent a significant amount of quality time listening to what we are hearing and provides an in-depth and insightful response to this subject matter. Thank you for this valuable contribution.]
As a practicing pediatric clinician, I often hear from physicians, "Why does this child have feeding difficulty when there is no evidence of developmental delay, neurological insult or obvious diagnosis?" It's a difficult question to answer, not only for the child and the family, but one that holds the speech language pathologists interest as well.
"Swallow Safely" – A Book for Dysphagia Patients and Everyone Who Loves To Eat
[Editor's note: I had the opportunity and pleasure to Skype with and interview the "Swallow Safely" book authors, Roya Sayadi, Ph.D., CCC-SLP and Joel Herskowitz, M.D. This article is about their book, the motivation behind it, and who should read it. Ed Steger, President, NFOSD]
This book is a quick read and includes topics on how swallowing works, what happens when it doesn't work, aspiration pneumonia, disorder assessment and treatment, and finding help. It is easy to read and includes a list of warning signs that may suggest a swallowing problem (e.g., coughing or clearing the throat frequently while eating; a gargled voice after eating) with clear steps to take if you encounter these or other warning signals.

Hi ValStar,
You have been prescribed this med for a reason,i'm guessing for anxiety/panic attacks. I understand you being worried about becoming addicted,but once you are taking the prescribed amount only,i can see no harm in taking this medication.
Sometimes we have to take meds to make daily living easier.
You are already aware of the addictive side of these meds,so i would'nt worry too much once you're taking them as prescribed.
These meds can be very effective,although addictive,yet when taking properly they are safe.
Hope this helps ease your mind,please dont stress over becomming addicted,if they are making you feel better and less anxious then dont make yourself worse by worrying about the addiction side.It seems you have that under control with just the knowledge that they can be harmful when abused,so stick with what you're prescribed and you'll be fine.
Best wishes to you and take care

The modalities of the trip will be worked out after a delegation representing the Edwin King Commission probing corruption in the sport in South Africa arrives in Delhi later this week.
The CBI and Delhi police want to visit South Africa for separate reasons. The police want to cross-check the numbers that had been dialled by both Hansie Cronje and the bookies and also question Hameed �Banjo� Cassim, the owner of a sweet shop who claims to have been in touch with several Indian and South African cricketers, including Mohammed Azharuddin and Cronje.
The police also want to examine Cronje�s bank transactions. The Enforcement Directorate, which is trying to trace the hawala route, is already in touch with authorities in Pretoria for information on phone calls made there.
The police have prepared separate letters rogatory for Cronje and Sanjeev Chawla, the absconding bookie.
The CBI, which is investigating allegations of match-fixing, will try and understand the bookie network in South Africa and discuss with King Commission investigators how far they have been able to unravel the involvement of their country�s players.
The sleuths, for instance, have to find out more from Cronje on Mukesh Gupta and Sunil Dara, the two India-based bookies, who according to the former South African skipper, had approached him with bribes.
The government today said the Indian cricket team would be kept under scrutiny during all future tournaments at home. Sports minister S.S. Dhindsa said the players� movements will be monitored and their acquaintances screened.
Dhindsa also said that Indian authorities are in touch with their South African counterparts to seek Cronje�s extradition, though the two countries do not have a treaty to that effect.
To get Cronje to India, Delhi police will have to convince courts in South Africa that they have a prima facie case against the sacked captain. But the police are yet to file a chargesheet in the case even after two months of the FIR.
For the police, the investigation has reached a crucial stage. They are yet to get responses to the queries they have faxed to both the South African police and Scotland Yard. The information is crucial for the chargesheet, without which it will be difficult to demand the extradition of either Cronje or Chawla.
Cronje, who has testified that he has accepted nearly $100,000 in bribes over four years, is set to take the witness stand for cross-examination tomorrow. He has been offered immunity from prosecution as long as King is satisfied he has made a full disclosure.
A PTI report from Cape Town said Azharuddin may be called to testify before the King commission, depending on possible further disclosures by Cronje. The deposed skipper told the inquiry last week that Azharuddin had arranged the meeting with Gupta, known as MK, in a Kanpur hotel in 1996 which began his slide to ruin.
Commission spokesman John Bacon said: �We have not yet looked at the situation of international players who have been named. Once Cronje�s cross-examination is finished and after taking into account whatever further disclosures are made regarding international players, we will have to discuss the matter.�
CBI sources said the team deputed by the King commission is expected to reach Delhi on Thursday. The commission wants to build a foolproof case against the guilty players and would like to talk to the police and the bureau on their investigations and also find out more about the bookies with whom Cronje may have collaborated.
The officials will also try and get the audio-tapes of the cellphone conversation Cronje had with the bookies in India.
The Union Cabinet is expected to take up a scheme tomorrow to insure the poor, but finance minister Yashwant Sinha wants the Life Insurance Corporation and state governments to bear the financial burden.
Ironically, amid the subtle exercise to pass the buck, the government will try to sneak onto the Cabinet�s agenda the closure of certain public sector units and make good use of the absence of Mamata Banerjee, an opponent of the shutdown.
The government has been advocating the closure of ailing units like Mining and Allied Machinery Corporation, Cycle Corporation, National Bicycle Corporation, Tanneries and Footwear Corporation and Tyre Corporation. The targeted companies have a considerable number of employees in Bengal
With Mamata immersed in civic elections in Calcutta, the government hopes to push through the proposal tomorrow.
The insurance scheme � the Janashree Bima Yojana � was announced with much fanfare in this year�s Union budget.
The finance ministry had initially said the government would pick up part of the tab by augmenting a social security fund set up by the LIC out of its profits, but backed out later.
The budget promise was that for an annual premium of Rs 10 , a person living below the poverty line could get a cover scheme which would yield Rs 50,000 in case of accidental death or total disability, Rs 20,000 in case of natural death and Rs 25,000 in case of partial disability.
But LIC realised that with the social fund corpus of just Rs 350 crore � rustled up by setting aside one per cent of its profit every year � it would be hard to bankroll such a huge scheme. The corporation then asked the project�s pilot, the Centre, to pay up.
North Block, saddled with an all-time high fiscal deficit, does not want to shell out any money, though the BJP-led government is keen to hog the credit for it.
LIC feels the scheme could be worked out if the beneficiaries cough up a far higher premium or if someone else chips in.
The finance ministry now has found a scapegoat in state governments. States keen to insure their poor will be asked to subsidise the scheme for which the BJP and the allies will claim credit.
If the states do not agree, their resident poor will have to pay a higher premium. There will be no compulsion, but realpolitik will make it difficult for any state to refuse to subsidise the scheme and leave the poor in the lurch.
Telecom strike
Trouble is brewing for Ram Vilas Paswan who had offered free phones in exchange for reforms. Telecom employees have called a nationwide strike on June 28, rejecting hints that the freebie was the price for corporatising the Department of Telecom Services.
Seven-day chief minister Nitish Kumar called a meeting on June 25, only to be checkmated by Laloo Yadav who scheduled his for June 22. �I have called an all-party meet on June 22. This is scheduled before Nitish�s programme. I have invited Nitish Kumar, too, to join it,� Laloo said.
With her husband busy scoring meeting-points, chief minister Rabri Devi aimed at wangling Central aid as part of damage-control efforts after the Aurangabad massacre.
More heads have rolled after Friday�s carnage. The Aurangabad police superintendent has been transferred and the officers-in-charge of Goh and Daudnagar police stations suspended. The government has decided to post officers in the rank of additional director-general in all five zones of the state. Gumla SP Sanjay Latekar is taking over in Aurangabad.
Rabri today wrote to Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee, seeking Rs 900 crore to implement pro-poor projects, the lack of which, she said, is the prime reason for the escalating caste violence.
Responding to Vajpayee�s eagerness to assist the state in fighting terror, she said: �The Prime Minister�s announcement is a welcome signal, but the Centre has been holding back funds for panchayats on the plea that elections were not being held. It is not proper that only massacres should remind the Prime Minister about the state�s needs.�
At a meeting with bureaucrats, she reviewed law and order and welfare programmes.
A divisional commissioner�s report informed her that several of these were stuck due to lack of funds.
Away in Thanjavur on pilgrimage, the ADMK chief did not turn up today at the special court trying the Tansi land scam case. The judge threatened to issue a non-bailable warrant against her and Sasikala if they missed the next sitting.
To make matters worse, the stars are casting an evil eye. Jayalalitha�s birth star is Maham, which has come under a �baleful influence� after the annual flight of Jupiter from one position to another. The planet-crossed Amma is now anxious to counter the adverse impact of Jupiter�s journey.
Though head of a Dravidian party and therefore an �agnostic�, in theory at least, Jayalalitha has never made a secret of her �devout� nature and loves to wear her faith on her sleeves. Her devotion usually increases in direct proportion with the intensity of a crisis.
The current religious phase, however, is the most fervent till date. For over a week she has been touring temple after temple. It is not known when she will return. �We�re expecting madam any time� is all associates could say.
Jayalalitha had gone to Thanjavur to attend the marriage of another of Sasikala�s nieces. She was also present at a function in an engineering college run by a trust floated by the Dravidar Kazhagam, the parent organisation of Dravidian parties. From there she headed straight for a temple. That is what she has been doing since.
With crucial judgments lined up in special courts and an angry birth star hanging overhead, a difficult time lies in wait for the Jayalalitha-Sasikala duo. Apart from the Tansi case, there is a wealth case staring them in the face. The prosecution has been claiming that its case is water-tight in both the instances and conviction is certain.
Chief minister M. Karunanidhi, Jayalalitha�s bete noire, is adding to her woes. He is believed to have directed the prosecution to ensure that the trial in both the cases are completed by October.
Time is running out for Jayalalitha. The Assembly polls are hardly 10 months away and she knows a two-year conviction is enough to disqualify her from contesting elections.
Desperate, she is out to appease the bad-tempered stars. She has even visited a little-known temple dedicated to Rahu and Shani, both of whom can be very malevolent. She also performed a midnight yagna at a Kali temple.
Poes Garden insiders, however, said even under normal circumstances Jayalalitha performs elaborate pujas.
The former chief minister has turned to the gods often when let down by fate, or other parties. When she was trounced by the DMK-Tamil Maanila Congress combine in 1996, she had gone on a temple-tour in the northern Tamil Nadu districts. It proved to be of little use as she was jailed by Karunanidhi soon after.
But like the true faithful, Jayalalitha held on to her gods. Even in the prison she would wake up at 4 am and perform her pujas before a picture of Kali.
When she was released, she said the pujas and the proximity to the Goddess had been her only source of sustenance.
Not Jayalalitha alone: several illustrious Dravidian movement leaders were believers � never mind what their politics demanded.
Periyar EVR, the founder of the movement, called those who believed in God fools, and those who preached His message barbarians. But that did not stop Jayalalitha�s mentor and former ADMK chief MGR from frequenting the Goddess Mookambika temple in Karnataka, if only on the sly.
DMK chief Karunanidhi is not immune to religion either � but he, too, would rather not go public. His family members, including his wife Dayalu, often haunt temples. Karunanidhi is also known to have consulted astrologers � not to mention the mysterious yellow shawl draped around his neck.
Though on coming to power in 1991 Jayalalitha had described herself as the �latest stage in the evolution of the Dravidian movement�, she never kept her faith a secret.
More than anyone else, it is astrologers and priests who have access to Amma. Even her party cadre and leaders resort to �pious� acts � like eating food served on the bare floor of the temple � to get into her good books.
To catch Jayalalitha�s eye, a senior woman leader made the rounds of a temple in Chennai clad in nothing but neem leaves.
Call it stark faith.

Credit Card Processing for Timeshares | Time Share Merchant AccountTuesday, June 28th, 2011
The Transaction Group offers high risk credit card processing solutions for the time share industry. These include merchant accounts both for businesses that make time share reservations, as well as for those that advertise or sell time share opportunities.
If your business needs to accept credit cards, or you want to reduce your current credit card processing fees, you can get started quickly:
US/Domestic time share businesses APPLY HERE.
International timeshare businesses APPLY HERE.
Need more information? Fill out our ONLINE FORM.
Your Business Model:
One of the many factors that determine the risk involved in processing credit cards for your business is your 'business model'. What makes up your business model?
• the service you provide or products you sell
• how you advertise & market your business
• your product or service delivery method
• the customer support offered
• the price of your product or services
If your business model falls into one of the categories that credit card processors determine as high risk, you'll have to set up a merchant account with a processing company that accepts merchants with high risk business types.
Other Risk Factors for Timeshare Businesses:
The potential of charge backs a business may create is arguably the most critical factor when it comes to determining the risk of a business. This is because if a credit card processor lets a merchant continue to process cards with a higher chargeback ratio than is approved by the card associations, it can incur heavy fines. Also, if a business generates a lot of charge backs and is unable to cover the debt, the processing bank is required to do so.
Other factors that may influence the determination of whether a timeshare business will be labeled as high risk are the business owner's personal credit rating, sales methods, high average tickets, and whether the business is membership based or uses recurring billing methods. Businesses that make custom products or ship for future delivery can also be labeled as high risk.
Your businesses history can help you or hurt you:
Obviously if you have a good processing history, you're going to have a lot more leverage when it comes to negotiating processing rates and fees with your merchant account provider. Even if your business type is determined to be high risk, you can get competitive rates, if your business has a good track record. Most processors are going to require, at a minimum, 3 months of previous credit card processing statements before they'll negotiate a rate with you. The reason for this requirement is that they want to see if you've had a problem with chargebacks or other issues like higher than normal refunds.
If your time share business has a poor processing history, all is not lost, but it will be more of a challenge to get approved. And if you're fortunate enough to get approved, you will likely pay for that opportunity with a higher processing rate.
Consequences if your business is high risk:
Because of the higher chance of fraudulent activity, many high risk merchant accounts come with extra stipulations such as increased funding delays, reserves, limits on volume and ticket size, and of course higher rates and fees.
Many high risk credit card processors provide tools to help a merchant cut down on potential fraud or charge backs. Take advantage of these services if available. Most reputable high risk processors can be very helpful when it comes to reducing losses associated with processing credit card payments.
Also, if the processor analyzes your risk factors and determines that they are just too significant, it can decline your application for a merchant account. This can be due to any of the issues discussed above. Also, external factors such as changes in the law can cause a business to get declined for processing services.
Getting Started:
The Transaction Group understands the challenges that business owners face when it comes to finding reliable credit card processing for timeshares. One size doesn't fit all in the high risk industry, so we have multiple relationships with processing companies to ensure we can find the right solution for your business.

imwheel is a tool for tweaking mouse wheel behavior, on a per-program basis. It can map mousewheel input to keyboard input, increase mousewheel speed, and has support for modifier keys.
imwheel is available from AUR imwheelAUR or directly from The sourceforge page. Therefore, you can install it with the command : yaourt imwheel
The official HTML documentation (manpage) is available in the official website.
imwheel matches window class strings with regular expressions for deciding which windows to apply tweaks to.
Getting the window class string
Run xprop to get the class string. The program will exit when a window is clicked.
xprop WM_CLASS | grep -o '"[^"]*"' | head -n 1
So for the document viewer zathura, this will return the following:
Edit your configuration file
Create or edit
~/.imwheelrc. In this configuration file lines can be added for each program you want to tweak mousewheel behavior for. The following example will increase the mousewheel speed for the document viewer zathura:
# Speed up scrolling for the document viewer "^zathura$" None, Up, Button4, 4 None, Down, Button5, 4
Run imwheel
Run imwheel simply like so:
The program will print its PID and run in the background. You may wish to run imwheel in a startup script.

A Food Trip in IranPosted: 1 March 2017 Filed under: A Food Trip in Iran, Uncategorized | Tags: Norooz, shiraz, Spring Leave a comment
That time of the year again, around spring and Persian New year, Norooz – the perfect time to find the motivation to write, to post, and to cherish and share the wonderful moments where people, plants and beautiful customs come to a renewed life one more time. Below is a selection of pictures taken by my sister, in several Iranian cities, including Shiraz, Yazd, Booshehr, Dargahan and Tehran, during the months of March to April 2016.

At the end of the Norooz festivities, on the 13th day of Spring, or sizdah-bedar, literally 'thirteen to out', Iranians, by tradition, go outdoors for a family picnic to play games, dance, ramp around and, of course, eat. Lettuce and "sekanjehbin", a heavenly tasting syrup made of vinegar and honey, is among the popular food item for this day. Other foods of the day include noodle soup, and broad-bean mixed rice, layered with large cubes of lamb or beef.

Norooz eggs on EasterPosted: 7 April 2012 Filed under: Memories & Events, Uncategorized | Tags: Easter, Norooz, Painted_eggs 2 Comments
Egg decoration is a popular craft in many cultures and traditions. Easter of course is probably the most renowned one in Christian world, but the painted eggs you see here are the ones that my husband and I have painted over the years for the Persian New Year, Norooz, which is celebrated in some 15 countries just a few days before Easter, on the first day of spring.
Each year we paint several boiled eggs, but keep only the prettiest of them. Well, that "winner egg" is usually the one painted by my husband – to the testimony of all the friends and relatives who pay us Norooz visit! Here is how it goes, I boil 5-6 eggs and let them cool and meanwhile get whatever painting tools we need. We start at the same time. I finish painting five and go about preparing dinner or something. He is still working on one. He takes a break and continues working on it after dinner until he gets off the chair with a bad back and happy face: A work of Art, if you ask me! Look at some of them below.

I promised to post Iranian norooz-specific traditional dish, mixed herb rice and fish (sabzi polow mahi), since traditionally it is prepared and served on the first day of spring (often, along with kookoo sabzi). Well, better late than never! The good news is that the recipe I have here is the easiest AND the most delicious one – cross my heart! Special thanks to my sister, Atefeh the chef!

Norooz is around the cornerPosted: 14 March 2012 Filed under: Memories & Events, Uncategorized | Tags: Iranian_tradition, Montreal, Norooz, Persian_ New_Year, Spring Leave a comment
This is a rather lengthy general introduction and personal note on Norooz the deeply-cherished. Persian New Year which occurs at the exact moment of the start of spring, this year on Monday March 20th at 01:11 AM (Montreal) 08:44 AM (Iran).
My new header shows a Norooz table setting "sofreh", which should contain certain items, as I will explain below. The contents as well as the arrangement of sofreh items vary according to individual's taste and beliefs. I love my sister's artistic "sofreh" shown in the header. Don't you!? And let me confess, I am dying to share mine with you once I set it – probably sometime on Sunday evening
For now, let's just turn this music on and listen to Simin Ghadiri, a Persian folk singer, while you're reading my account of Norooz. You don't really need to understand her words, her voice alone is spring on itself! (Lyric describes spring days, the mountains, and fields covered with flowers)

Budget Friendly Updates for Your Kitchen: See It In Action!By
A few months ago, I wrote about some great budget friendly updates you can make to your kitchen. Check out the original post here.
Yep, I'm still dreaming of the kitchen I hope to have one day. We're heading to KBIS (the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show) in a few weeks, so I'm sure to get even more inspiration. In the mean time, Ryan and I have spruced up our current kitchen to add some style and appeal. So here's a recap of some of the ideas from before and how we used them.
Kitchen Before:
We have site built cabinets, painted white with a single black knob. The counter tends to get cluttered, so we wanted to see if we could reassess what we need and where everything lives. I also wanted to see about opening up some of our closed storage and liven it up with some new paint.
Re-organize and Clean – We started by taking a good hard look at everything (and I mean everything) and narrowing down what we need and how often we use it. Everything came out and the cabinets got a deep cleaning. Every item got assigned a home based on where it gets used and how often. Things that don't get used much would get relocated to above the refrigerator. Quite a bit got donated or pitched.
Next, I took off the doors of a section of cabinets I wanted to open up. I did this as an experiment – I set up what I wanted to display and see if I was happy with it. We then lived with it for a few days to see if it was organized how we could function. If it didn't work, then I could just put the doors back on. Happily it worked great! I took a picture to document the arrangement and then cleared it off again to prep for painting.
New Hardware – Before painting, we drilled for all the new hardware. That way, we could patch the old and touch up if we had any drilling mishaps.
The process went quickly with the use of a template. Simply use two scrap pieces of wood to make a T shape. Shown here, the short side will rest along the edge of the door. Then drill your template with the desired placement for your hardware. Mine may look messy, but I used the same board for doors and drawers in hardware of different sizes. Just make sure you remember or label which holes are for which location.
I changed all the black knobs to linear pulls in a stainless finish for a more contemporary look. It is also much more comfortable to open large drawers with the long pull compared to the tiny single knob we had before.
Paint – The very old cabinets needed a fresh coat of paint and a new look. I still love the brightness of white, so we planned to brightened it up since it had yellowed with age. I also wanted to add more interest to the open shelves by painting the back wall a light grey.
But first, I filled and repaired any flaws and holes from the doors that we removed. Then we sanded everything! Sanding is a very important step to make sure that the oils from cooking and your hands are removed so the new paint can adhere properly. Once again clean all the surface of any dust.
I used paint with a semi-gloss finish because it wipes clean easily in the kitchen. I also used an angled brush which makes it easy to cut in close to edges and details.
- Cleaner counter space (Hey, some counter accessories are a must – like the Oscar the Grouch Cookie Jar for our doggy treats)
- Organized zones (I even have a tea zone for the amazing amount of flavored teas I found when we were sorting – organized neatly in an old soda crate with dividers.)
- Brighter look with the interior cabinet paint.
- New look and function with updated hardware.
I am very happy with the results. I'm still dreaming of the future, but I'm sleeping more soundly with the kitchen I have.
Need more ideas to update your kitchen? Every space is different, so we'd love the opportunity to come up with solutions for you!

Great Job, Autumn.

10 Out of 10 French Girls Own These 5 Shoe Styles
As our ongoing fascination with Carrie Bradshaw's style proves, we American girls love a vast shoe collection. But we also have an ongoing fascination with French-girl style, and according to our research, Parisian shoe collections are decidedly more pared down. Our research, in this case, consisted of doing a deep dive into our Instagram feeds to find out which shoe styles 10 out of 10 cool French girls have in their closet. We looked to the feet of Parisian It girls like Sabina Socol, Jeanne Damas, Anne-Laure Mais, Camille Rowe, and many more, and we successfully narrowed it down to just five styles that are essential to a French girl's look.
While current shoe trends include Lucite straps, embellishment, embroidery, and satin bows, the five-piece French-girl shoe collection is ultra classic in comparison. And their shoes of choice all ultimately contribute to the effortlessly chic aesthetic that French girls embody. So whether you're looking to pare down your shoe collection to just the essentials or add a few pairs to give your look more of a Parisian feel, read on to find out what the five essential French-girl shoe styles are and shop our picks for each!

White sneakers are certainly a staple of fashion girls all across the land, but here in the U.S., sneaker trends vary considerably. French girls, on the other hand, love their clean white kicks.
Veja Esplar Sneakers ($150)

You won't typically catch French girls teetering around in sky-high stilettos. Instead, when they want to wear heels, you'll oftentimes find them in a pair of feminine block-heel Mary Janes, which instantly make any outfit look chic.

Sasural Simar Ka to take 15 years' time leap and introduce Vaishali Thakkar as parallel lead along with Simar (Dipika Kakkar) and Prem (Dheeraj Dhooper)
Like most long running shows, Colors TV's Sasural Simar Ka will also take a time leap very soon and shift its focus on a new generation of characters. Recently, SSK had showcased a 6 year time leap and now the makers are planning another leap of 10-15 years where Simar's daughter will be shown as a grown up. News coming around is that Vaishali Thakkar will be introduced on the show as the new lead actress and she will play the role of Simar's daughter. Vaishali's character will be named Anjali and she will be a spoil girl who wants all her demands to be fulfilled. Although Simar and Prem will continue to be the main lead couple, Anjali will also take center-stage and the story will start to focus on her life and her love story. It has still not been confirmed as to who would play the role of Anjali's love interest. Vaishali Thakkar has earlier worked in shows like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Yeh Vaada Raha. As reported earlier, Sasural Simar Ka is facing trouble because of its dipping rank on the TRP charts and therefore the makers have strategically planned out the time leap in order to give a fresh boost to the series. A while back there was news going around that SSK would be moved from its current time slot of 7 30 pm to 6 pm and this will further lower the viewership of the show. As a result the makers are leaving no stone unturned to make sure that this long running series continues to get the same viewership and fan following which it has been enjoying since so many years. Let's wait and see whether Sasural Simar Ka is able to get a big boost with the upcoming leap track. Stay tuned for more interesting updates on Sasural Simar Ka.
