The Chronicle
Pella —
To the editor,
The need for a long-term highway reauthorization bill before the end of the current extension of the law on September 30 cannot be understated. According to Federal Highway Administration data, every $1 billion in federal highway investment creates 30,000 jobs.
Currently, nearly two of every 10 unemployed workers are from the construction industry - 2 million construction-related jobs have been lost since the recession began.
Congress and the administration need to commit to long-term funding. Presently, the Highway Trust Fund draws its revenue through a federal gasoline tax that has remained unchanged since 1993 — neither indexed to inflation nor the price of gasoline. The series of short-term extensions since September 2009 has made it impossible for American businesses to plan for the future. We are continuing to lose jobs and put our economy at risk.
Adequate transportation infrastructure capacity and reliable and cost-effective transportation services are essential to economic growth, increased productivity and maintaining the competitiveness of American businesses across all economic sectors. Further, by creating jobs across construction, engineering, resources and manufacturing sectors, transportation investment serves as an important economic driver in and of itself.
Continuing with short-term extensions is not a viable option. Congress must make long-term transportation planning and investing a priority and develop legislation that provides policy and programmatic reforms as well as dedicated funding for highways.

Niagara Gazette —
Three area men were arrested by North Tonawanda police Wednesday morning and charged with possession and sale of controlled substances with ties to a larger drug trafficking ring between Cleveland and Western New York.
Interim Police Chief William Hall said the arrests were part of investigations with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the Niagara County Drug Task Force.
Two North Tonawanda residents, Patrick E. Powell, 32, 19 Ganson St., lower, and Gino A. Fascitelli, 42, 59 Allen St., and one Lockport resident, Thomas D. Kendrick, 28, 4803 Beach Ridge Road, all were charged with with multiple counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance after they were found with cocaine and prescription narcotics.
U.S. District Attorney William J. Hochul indicated that three Niagara Falls residents were the ring leaders at the center of the drug distribution racket.
A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted Nathaniel Clark, 29, Tommy E. Clark, 26, and Kayla R. Combs, 23, all of Niagara Falls, as well as Raysean Clark, 27, with charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute cocaine base, cocaine, heroin and oxycodone.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, a fine of $5 million or both.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary C. Baumgarten said the charges are based off of an investigation into the trafficking of cocaine and cocaine base between Western New York and Ohio. She said the defendants sold controlled substances in the cities of North Tonawanda, Niagara Falls, Lockport and Buffalo, and other areas within Erie and Niagara counties. The Niagara County Sheriff's Office also assisted in the investigation.Contact reporter Michael Regan at 693-1000, ext. 4115.

Little House Hotels in Jerusalem
Tel: +972-2-6714488
Home Page
Guest Book
Contact us
Where being small is a BIG advantage
"Little House Hotels" chain offers three charming and unique European-style Jerusalem hotels.
Each Jerusalem hotel is located in one of the most popular and exclusive neighborhoods of Jerusalem:
Rehavia, the German Colony and Bakah.
Noticing the Differences When Staying at a Hotel in Israel
Wine Tasting - Just Around the Corner from your Jerusalem Hotel
Traditionally, Israel is known for its religious and cultural experience. Since the 1990's, however, this small country has also become famous for its wineries. The old syrupy tasting Israeli wines have been replaced with gold medal winners. These wines can compete with any special vintages from France, Italy, or California. Just take a peak at your Jerusalem hotel's wine list and you'll see some of the well-known Israeli wines listed.
So where can you taste these fantastic wines? You have the choice of visiting any one of the 160 commercial and boutique wineries in the country. Since most wineries are within two hours of your Jerusalem hotel, you should have no difficulty in touring a cross section of both large wineries and boutiques.
The country is divided into six major wine producing regions:
- Golan and the Galilee - This area is located furthest from your Jerusalem hotel. However, you can easily take a day trip to this region and see four or five wineries. With its ideal climate of warm afternoons and cool, but frost-free nights, this area produces some of the top Israeli wines. Make sure to visit such favorites as Dalton, the Golan Heights Winery, and Meron, Israel's first boutique winery.
- Shomron - Located south of Haifa and just a bit inland from the Mediterranean, this region hosts probably the best-known winery in the country - Carmel Winery. Your Jerusalem hotel probably carries a selection of five or ten Carmel wines. Dating back since the 1880's, this winery has roughly 50% of the Israeli wine business. Save time for wine tasting at the Tishbi Estate and Binyamina Wine Cellars.
- Samson - Located between the Judean mountains and the middle of the coast, this region is a mere 30 -45 minutes from your Jerusalem hotel. You'll find a few boutiques and larger wineries in the Rishon Le Zion and Rehovot areas.
- Judean Hills - With its cool mountain air, the Judean Hills region produces some of the more sweet tasting wines.
- Negev - Not usually considered an ideal place to grow grapes, this desert area also produces some award winning wines. Visit the Barkan Wine Cellars in Mitzpe Rimon - you'll see the wonders of drip irrigation technology.
Once you've returned to your Jerusalem hotel, sit back, relax, and order a glass of the finest Israeli wine.

Praise for Extension Service
As new enrollees in Medicare, my wife and I recently sought guidance through the Johnston County Cooperative Extension Service.
Debbie Stroud was a very patient and knowledgeable lifesaver for us. Every household does not have a computer, many by choice. And not all seniors are computer savvy and know how to navigate the system in order to make the best choice(s) available to them.
Changes are being made to health care at warp speed, and it is entirely possible that many seniors are paying more for their health care, and especially for their drugs, than necessary.
Debbie Stroud was our lifeline, and the service she provided to us was invaluable. We cannot sufficiently express our gratitude to all the people in that office who make themselves available to help the citizens of Johnston County every day.

Facing foreclosure? Are you working with a distressed property? Have you tried to do a loan modification but you don't qualify?
Trying to sell a home with these types of conditions has not been easy. Big banks have been inundated with contracts. The number of contracts combined with insufficient staff and uncertain processes for Realtors, buyers and sellers have caused long delays and failed contracts.
One bank has stepped forward to try and improve the situation. Bank of America is working to find common ground between buyers, sellers and Realtors by making the origination process transparent. Matt Vernon, a Bank of America executive, in a meeting with the National Association of Realtors, explained that the bank has finally realized that it must change its business model to meet the demands of their customers and help stabilize the market.
The goal is to get the right people in place to handle the process quickly and efficiently providing for a good customer experience. But, just having more staff will not alleviate the problems. The bank also knows that it must redesign the origination process. It has set some guidelines in motion to accomplish just that.
According to Mr. Vernon, the bank's core strategy is shifting from refinance to a more dedicated buying side. He is predicting a rise in short sales and the bank must be in a position to handle the volume and protect the interests of the bank as well as their customers.
On April 14, 2012, Bank of America initiated new procedures for completing a short sale transaction. The online transaction system has been designed for communication between borrowers and their advisors reducing time and enabling the bank to perform underwriting tasks at the same time that agents are collecting the necessary information and paperwork. The system is designed to make the origination process transparent.
The online system, Equator, establishes a single point of contact. All contact is through Equator eliminating the frustration of no return calls and different answers from different people. All questions must be answered within 2 days. This isn't instant, but at least this is a huge improvement.
A home loan guide is available which walks through the origination process step by step and gives everyone a better understanding of what needs to happen for a successful close. Realtors should take advantage of the information to help their clients and prevent unnecessary frustration.
When loan modification is not possible on a distressed property and a short sale is the option, Bank of America is providing transition funding. The short sale must be initiated by the end of this year and closed by the end of 2013. Not all short sales qualify so you must contact the bank or check out the web site for explanation and guidelines.
There have been many horror stories about lost paperwork, delays and uncertainty. Buyers have been put off from making offers on short sales because of fear of a 9 month close and the need to get on with their plans. Will the Bank of America's Equator process eliminate all problems? That doesn't seem possible, but at least the bank finally understands how their actions affect their customers and what their inability to act is doing to their bottom line.

Infosys, who's leading position in Indian software industry is being questioned by fast growing rivals like TCS, Wipro and HCL, has reported better cash flow and receivables than its rivals over the past nine months.
It is reportedly said; during thepast nine-month period from April to December, Infosys' operating cash flow was nearly 80 percent of the overall revenue, compared to less than 50 percent each for TCS, HCL and Wipro.
The Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) is another metric where India's second-biggest software exporter performed better over its domestic rivals. During Q3, Infosys' DSO or debtor days was 62 days compared with Wipro's over 90 and TCS' 84 days.
It is important to note that the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) is the ratio of account receivables and total revenue.
All in all, Infosys is able to collect monies due from customers faster than rivals, which helps it maintain a healthy cash flow in third quarter ending December, 2011.
Market watchers added, in an industry with aggressive rivals like TCS, HCL, Wipro and Cognizant, Infosys still needs more than its cash discipline to gain market share.
Let's hope Infosys will regain its leading position in Indian software industry very soon.

During their long existence, home security systems have evolved from systems that simply sounded alarms to those that can control lights and thermostats and allow users to monitor and manage their homes remotely from mobile devices like iPhones and laptop computers.
More recently, sensors are starting to play a larger role in the functionality of a home security system. This trend is expected to continue, says Steve Shapiro, director of group product management for residential/small business at ADT North America.
Security installers are beginning to use traditional security sensors to illicit responses that have nothing to do with protecting a home. For example, the same sensor that alerts homeowners to someone entering the house could be programmed via the security system to turn on the kitchen lights and play a message over the speakers to remind the kids to do their chores. Later, when the door opens at 6 p.m., the sensor could tell the TV to tune to the evening news.Facebook and Twitter.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — BOSTON (AP) — A Republican lawmaker is pushing for a law allowing Massachusetts to recoup public benefits given to anyone later convicted of using of a weapon of mass destruction.
Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr of Gloucester is offering the proposal as an amendment to the Senate version of the state budget.
It would allow the attorney general to recover "any and all money" from anyone convicted of the terrorist act "who has previously collected public assistance, financial assistance or received any other direct financial benefit from the state."
The money would go to benefit any victims of the attack.
State official have confirmed that Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and toddler daughter received welfare benefits. Tsarnaev was killed in a police chase. His 19-year-old brother, Dzhohkar, was arrested.
The brothers also received welfare benefits as children through their parents.

I write about Hollywood and run the Celebrity 100 List.
It's looking more and more like Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford are actually returning to a galaxy far, far away to reprise their roles as Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in the newest Star Wars film from Disney slated to hit theaters in 2015.
First Carrie Fisher seemingly confirmed to the Palm Beach Illustrated that she was coming back. From a Q&A:
Disney is going to continue the Star Wars saga, producing movies set to hit theaters starting in 2015. Can you confirm whether you'll reprise the role of Princess Leia?
What do you think Princess Leia is like today?
Elderly. She's in an intergalactic old folks' home [laughs].
I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle.
And still wearing the bagel buns?
The bagel buns and the bikini, because probably she has sundowners syndrome. At sundown, she thinks that she's 20-something. And she puts it on and gets institutionalized.
Her rep quickly told CNN that the actress was only joking. Then, in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, George Lucas seemed to confirm that Fisher, Hamill and Ford are all coming back saying he had been in the final stages of negotiations with the stars even before Disney bought Lucas' company for $4 billion.
Disney hasn't made any formal announcements yet although my colleague, Mark Hughes, says the fan-boy community has known for months that the original trio was going to return and that the plot is expected to revolve around either Luke's or Han and Leia's children.
He also says that an announcement will "go a long way toward making fans take to the streets to dance and sing."
Maybe I'm not a real fan, but the prospect of the older actors returning makes me feel very worried and sad. Don't get me wrong I love Carrie Fisher so much. But I love her on 30 Rock as Rosemary Howard and I love her books like Wishful Drinking. I love the way she looks now and I love how brutally honest and funny she can be.
But I do not love the prospect of her playing Leia again. She's grown up and moved on and the grown up Fisher is great but a very different person than the young girl who became every young male sci-fi fan's fantasy when she appeared in a gold bikini in Return of the Jedi. I'm not looking forward to the snarky comments about her weight and her age.
Like Fisher, Hamill has walked a rough road since the Star Wars days. He's now best known for his voice work on shows like Batman: The Animated Series, where he voices The Joker, and several video games. He's only appeared in a few indie movies over the last few years and frankly, his acting wasn't so great when he was in his prime.
There's a big risk here that the awkwardness of these older actors will hurt the film. That's what happened with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. Harrison Ford was fine reprising his role as Jones, the man is bona fide movie star who knows his way around a big-budget blockbuster.
But Karen Allen, returning as Marion Ravenwood, seemed out of her element the whole time, especially when compared to actors like Shia LaBeouf and Cate Blanchett. Of course that didn't hurt the film at the box office where it earned $790 million. But in my opinion, the movie felt kind of stale.
That's not what I want from the new Star Wars movies. I'm hoping for something fresh and exciting that recaptures the spirit of the original movies without being a slave to them. Maybe the rumors will prove not to be true but at this point, I'm not counting on it.

I have faith JJ Abrams will make it work out…PERIOD
Sorry Dorthy, I must vehemently disagree with you here… As some others have commented, there will be new characters introduced in Episode 7 (Han and Leia's kids perhaps). But without the original trio, any Star Wars sequel is simply not worth making. In fact, it would not even be a sequel if they aren't in it- it would instead just be some desperate spin-off movie that attempts to have the Star Wars brand. I mean, really, think about the end of Return of the Jedi… Did Luke, Han, and Princess Leia get killed off in the end? No… In fact, they actually became a couple! And Luke became the only Jedi left (as far as we know). Thus, they can not and will not simply become irrelevant. So to not build on that ripe story-line would just be absolutely ridiculous!!!
You're missing the big picture. The majority of fans want it. The reason the prequels are so maligned is because the fans thought the movies were going to be about the creation and rise of Vader! They didn't get it. Instead, they got 1 min at the very end of the last movie. Lucas didn't give us what we wanted. They are not going to make the same mistake twice. The majority of Star Wars fans (the people who will be going to see the movie many times over) want Mark Hamilll. They would be fools to not let that happen.
Danger – The films were not supposed to be about the creation of Vader it was supposed to be about the rise, fall and redemption of Anakin. In ( EP 1 ) we are introduced to him. In ( EP2 ) we are seeing his conflicting emotions between his duties as a jedi and being a young man who has emotions (EP3 ) Was Anakins fall from grace. (EP4) we are introduced to Anakin as Vader, ( EP5) Anakin is Vader but he is at the same time discovering he is a father and he wants to find him so he can be turned (EP6) Its about the redemption and finally death of Anakin. Where can you take the story from there with or without the original characters having some kind of walk on roles just to introduce us to the new gang. This is dragging out a franchise make profitable movies ( at least the first film ) and at its low risk because everybody knows and loves Star Wars.
My point was, is that most of us wanted to see Vader. In the suit, not Vader outside the suit. We didn't get that and it was a dissapointment. If they had gotten Anakin to the darkside sooner and got us a Vader movie (Revenge of the Sith) which is what (most) people really wanted to see, then the movies would be looked at a lot more fondly now.
Most of us wanted Vader, not a little boy, the whole first movie was a waste of time and the whole series suffered.
The majority want Luke, it isn't selling out, in fact quit the opposite. Selling out would be catering to the young kids who dont want to see old people, but they wont be buying tickets now will they? Their parents will. And as parent I wont go see it without the original characters in their roles as they rightfully should be. Sometimes ityou can give the people what they want and do whats right at the same time.
Of course I'm referring to the prequels, NOT episodes IV, V, VI and yes, I saw Star Wars in 1977. So I think I know a little something about what I'm talking about.
Don't worry, they aren't going to be main characters. They are just simply making little more than cameos.
You don't that they will only be making cameos. If they're coming back, I'm sure they will be a big part of the story.

Nearly a quarter of all Americans now have an iPod or other MP3 player.
But if you want to listen to your music unplugged, Consumer Reports' Tom Maung tested ten of the newest speaker systems.
Since what's most important is sound quality, Tom tested by having each system play a mixture of all audio frequencies, called pink noise.
The Cambridge Sound Works Radio CD 745i for $350 that also plays CDs and comes with a clock radio, earned top-ratings, with excellent sound quality and lots of features.
Also the Altec Lansing that plays video, Consumer Reports found its sound quality is also impressive. It's the $300 In Motion, model number iMV712.

HOUSTON -- One of the biggest basketball legends has arrived in Houston ahead of the NBA All-Star Weekend.
Michael Jordan's private plane was spotted at Hobby Airport on Wednesday. His plane wasn't hard to find because it has a Air Jordan logo on the tail.
The former Chicago Bulls star is celebrating his 50th birthday while he's in Houston.
According to CultureMap.com, Jordan rented out the Museum of Fine arts to throw a big bash on Sunday. About 300 guests are expected to attend.

That same line of thinking is valuable in breaking any habit, but especially applies to our last broken resolution …
No. 1: Stop smoking
If you're a smoker looking to kick the habit in the new year, the numbers can be daunting.
It's said that the average smoker quits eight to 10 times before succeeding and -- as if that's not enough -- the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the majority of quitters relapse within the first three months of quitting.
So, yeah, the deck is stacked, but don't light up just yet.
You're likely to fall off the wagon a few times along the way, so if you sneak a smoke after two weeks of abstaining, don't beat yourself up for your failure. Instead, celebrate those two weeks of progress and see if you can beat your new record.
As with any resolution you may make this year, just remember that if you fail, you're in good company as you get back on track.

Why Physician Assistant School May be Right for You
It's one of the fastest growing careers in the country. Learn about how to get into a top program.
After graduating from Manhattan College in 2004, Jason Lightbody had aspirations to pursue a career in the medical field, but didn't want to sacrifice his personal life to the rigors of medical school, a residency, and life as a physician. He remembered being treated by a physician assistant for injuries he sustained as a soccer player at Methodist University during his first two years of school, and soon realized that pursuing a career as a PA would be rewarding while allowing him a full life outside of the one he lived in his scrubs. Lightbody graduated from the Yale School of Medicine Physician Assistant Program in 2007. "I never want to regret not living life to the fullest and I thought that if I were to go to med school then I wouldn't be able to do a lot of things in my life that I wanted to do," he says. "I'm still certain I made the right decision."
The decision between PA school and medical school is one that an increasing number of college graduates and young medical professionals are facing. With the economy tight in recent years, demand for physician assistants has increased, as they are capable of practicing medicine at roughly the same level as a full-fledged physician, but at a much lower cost, which makes them an appealing asset to medical providers looking to trim budgets. And, given that many programs are roughly two years, PA students amass far less debt than their counterparts in medical school. The American Academy of PAs estimates that there will be nearly 150,000 practicing PAs in the U.S. in 2020, up from 70,000 last year. Like Lightbody, more people are taking note of the profession. "Ten years ago when I introduced myself patients would ask, 'What's a PA?'" says Mary Jo Wiemiller, chair of physician assistant studies at Marquette University College of Health Sciences. "Now, when treating patients, they respond with something like, 'Oh, my niece or nephew is in PA school.'"
[See more about a career as a physician assistant.]
But the appeal that is spurring job growth may make it tougher for aspiring PAs to get into school. According to Wiemiller, the number of applications to Marquette's PA program has quadrupled over the past year. Due to the increased interest, the school can only accept 10 percent of applicants. "With heightened awareness of the PA profession in the last decade, it has become increasingly more competitive to gain acceptance to a PA training program," says Wiemiller.
Given the heightened competition, it's important for applicants to understand what matters most to PA admissions committees. These three top the list, according to officials at PA schools:
1. Medical experience: Your life working in the medical field will not begin once you've graduated from a PA program; it should start well before that. For students hoping to jump directly from their undergraduate studies to a physician assistant program, it is imperative that they spend as many college summers as possible, or use their free time during school, working or volunteering at a hospital or doctor's office. For those students who wish to wait to attend PA school—the average age of people entering PA programs nationwide is 27—find a full-time job working in the medical field after earning your undergraduate degree. "We really are looking for—and I think a lot of other programs are, too—students who've had some previous healthcare experience where they've had some direct interactions with patients," says David P. Asprey, director of the Physician Assistant Program at the University of Iowa Caver College of Medicine, which is U.S. News's top-ranked PA program. "[It] adds a level of maturity."
[See the top ranked physician assistant programs.]
2. Science classes count most: Take as many core science classes—anatomy, biological sciences, and organic chemistry, to name a few—as you can and focus intensely on this coursework. PA programs not only look at your overall GPA—many schools require at least a 3.0 for admission—but give extra weight to your performance in science courses. "Obviously it would be a tragedy if we invited a student to join our program and we could anticipate that they would have difficulty with the academic rigors that are associated with it," says Asprey. "It's not for the faint of heart."

In Defense of the Turkey
by Dumbo, Fri Nov 28, 2008 at 10:51:38 AM EST
I have been mulling THIS POST by Matt Yglesias over for the last few days, and decided that I'm unhappy about it enough to write a diary, belated as it may be at this point. To quote the whole post intact:
The Case Against Turkey
I was going to say that Thanksgiving always leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth, but really it's the bland taste of turkey. The bitterness is purely metaphorical -- everyone feels compelled to eat a sub-par bird merely for the sake of tradition. I make the case for overthrowing the monstrous foul.
Oh, really?
An unusually tough turkey.

about the chills - i don't know if this is the same but when i'm feeling particularly stiff and swollen i'm often so cold i can't get warm. and it's the middle of summer in indiana here. my really bad days only last a couple of days and then i can get myself moving again. problem often is that i do too much that day and wind up not able to move again, so i really have to keep myself in check.
i'm sorry to be babbling so, but i have no one to talk to about this. i have a mom and sister nearby but i don't want to complain about pain around them, they always try to out do me. i have a wonderful internet friend. we met in germany 35 years ago, lost touch and recently found each other again. he's great to talk to, but again, i hate spending my time griping to him either. and i don't want to spend my time griping here either, but i'm new and there's so much i want to know about other people and their problems. when i first swelled up i thought my cankles were going to explode they hurt so bad. i too can't bend my fingers in the morning, and yes a nice hot hot shower does help loosen up those muscles. but then that feeling goes away, but it's enough to get you started. i'm glad i have the dog. without him there are some days i wouldn't even get out of bed and that's not a habit if want to get into. on the bad days i do nap a lot and get 15 or so hours sleep in a 24 hour cycle, but that's just a few days. ok. i should shut up now. i enjoy reading your posts and glad that many of you have just gone on with your life. i have other problems and this is just one more. such is life for some of us.
I'm also 54. I have had this for almost 30 years.
I didn't find others to talk to about symptoms and remedies until just a couple/few months ago.
I think I've learned more and improved more in the past month than ever. There's so much accumulated wisdom in this group its amazing.
Some will tell you what to do for pain, what vitamins to take, how you should really pace yourself etc... its great!
Here's my thoughts-- from all I've been learning.
If you are getting 15 hours a day sleep-- there's maybe something you could do to get a little more energy.
Just very recently my own energy has improved to where I actually forgot to nap at all the past few days. I think I it is because I've started to use Vitamin B1 (thiamine) 500mg 2x a day. (*oh-- if you start new vitamins, otc meds or supplements be sure to tell your dr-- if not right away-- at least write them down so you can tell them when you see them.)
Mimi is always saying to get your vitamin D checked-- totally agree! I had mine checked a few years ago, it was low and I have supplemented it ever since--and it really helped my overall pain & depression level.
About those sweet ladies that outdo you-- LOL-- you're gonna have to learn to grin and bear it. Although--I am more likely now to TELL them more about the details of my difficulties. I suffered in near silence for a long long time, and let bitter resentment grow because I knew I could never be as energetic or useful as those special gals in my life are. I found though as time went on-- my pain and chills lessened but my strength and other issues got even worse. So-- I always feel a lot older than I am. I was the one with the worst balance in my swimming exercise class last year--and the youngest by about 20 years or more. Talk about discouraging.
Anyhow-- you just need to be your best YOU not them. I'm a Christian and so I think in those terms usually-- just a heads up-- I know there's a good reason for all the bible verses about not envying or wishing you were someone else-- it is just not a useful thing to do. You will feel worse and they won't be any less fabulous.
Another thing I do -- on that topic is pray. I cannot be consistent with everything in life--but I am working on bein 'constant' in prayer-- from a verse-- it means to keep praying on a regular basis. I write notes when i pray --and its greatly comforting and encouraging to begin to see answers to the prayers-- like solutions for my various health issues that slowly are trickling in.
I used to be super cold all the time. Now I mainly just need to have a little extra 'light' layers of clothes when I get up and in the evening sometimes. I light sweater vest that buttons in front and a pair of sweat pants are my morning garb in most seasons--summer not so much. (I live in South Carolina--so even I am warm here)
I have pretty stiff fingers too and my feet & ankles swell and my legs and hands/arms feel very stiff at times--other parts as well. One thing I know is a problem is I have high blood pressure so sometimes I need to tell the dr so he can look at the meds I take for that--diuretics especially-- cuz sometimes stiffness is actually edema.
I have to call mine tomorrow cuz the past week or so I'm getting a lot of foot/ankle swell ing--and that's not good.
I wear wrist guards with a metal support in them on both my hand/wrists when I sleep-- it helps with finger and hand pain. I also have some ratty old ones I use when I'm working on my artwork & other things.
I think what is encouraging is that if you start asking questions and just learning from others- you will figure out what combo of things works best for you.
Stick around!
you're right about the envy. i try not to do that. i used to try to keep up but after having a major psychotic break about 20 years ago i don't try anymore. i learned a lot in therapy with the best psychologist in the world. sadly he's in cali and i moved to indiana. i have some family here so some support if i really need it.
again, thanks for all your encouraging words.
Linda S.
Linda S.
I quit for the same reason--just too difficult. I'd go to work and that would be ALL I could do in a day. And eventually I couldn't keep myself feeling well at work either.
I feel much better now--but am still not wanting a job--although I'm mulling it over a bit. I could use the money--but I keep hoping I can make it selling my art stuff.
My situation is I live alone with 2 dogs almost all the time. My husband is home every other weekend more or less. He makes a good amount but we have to pay mortgage in the house I"m in and rent where he is working. plus 2x utilities and all that.
We're thinking of ways to improve this situation, but that's how it is right now.
So I'm always looking for ways to cut costs--other than turning off the AC. LOL.
Best to you all!

Some 520 years ago, Christopher Columbus set out across the Atlantic and discovered - The Bahamas. Half a millenium later, we mark the achievement with a nice long weekend before the weather turns cold.
Over the years, Columbus Day has become more controversial. Native American organizations understandably take a very different view of the day than those who first created it. And then there's the matter of historical accuracy. I've actually been to L'Anse Aux Meadows on the northern tip of Newfoundland, where Vikings briefly established a colony in the 12th Century before being driven out by natives on the Canada coast. One historical account they tell up there says that bad blood was almost inevitable because when the Vikings and Indians first met, a cow that came over on the Norse boats burst loose, terrifying the Indians and sending them scaterring.
Closer to home, I've written in the past about New England archaeological anomalies such as America's Stonehenge in New Hampshire, which also strongly suggest that ancient sailors were more skilled than we give them credit for. There is also the mystery of Dighton Rock, now a Massachusetts State Park. The rock features ancient petroglyphs that Cotton Mather thought were the work of the devil and which the Indians said were not from them. Another interesting anomaly to look up around here include the Westford Knight, thought to be the grave of a 13th Century explorer who traveled with Prince Henry The Navigator, who at least one professor has also linked to the previously mentioned Dighton Rock. Then there's also that fellow known as Leif Erikson.
So back to Columbus Day. When you look at the history of it all, John Cabot Day seems to make as much sense as Christopher Columbus Day. But it's still a great excuse to take one last long weekend before the weather turns.
What do you think about Columbus Day? A fitting tribute to a great explorer? A dark day in history? Just a day off? Or something perhaps in between?

---- — It's up to Gov. Rick Snyder, again, to rein in the wild-eyed fringe of his own party, this time to help protect Great Lakes shoreline from the indiscriminate destruction of publicly owned coastal wetlands on private property.
This is the beach grooming battle of a few years ago; starting in 2003 some Michigan bayfront property owners began agitating for permission to mow down plants that had grown up along what had been sand beaches as Great Lakes water levels dropped.
The state said no and required property owners to apply for permits before mowing down shoreline vegetation.
In Grand Traverse County, an official with a East Bay motel was sent to jail for sending a bulldozer into the bay.
Now, Republican lawmakers are again pushing legislation which would allow mowing all vegetation on all Great Lakes shorelines, including certain coastal wetlands, without state oversight. The bill,
SB 1052, has sailed through the House and the Senate and is now on Snyder's desk.
The only hope now is that Snyder, who during his 2010 campaign for governor pledged to protect the environment, will veto the bill and maintain state oversight of beach grooming.
Under current state law, homeowners aren't prohibited from beach grooming but have to obtain a permit to do so. That's not much to ask; but some shoreline property owners and Republican lawmakers who want to essentially do away with state oversight want virtually no rules at all.
That's not right, and it's bad policy for the Great Lakes.
Gov. Snyder just needs to say no. Call or write to tell him that.

LORAIN, Ohio —
Police in northern Ohio are trying to identify a candy thief who has stolen hundreds of dollars in peanut butter cups from a gas station store.
Employees reported that a young man usually comes in after midnight, snatches Reese's peanut butter cups and exits the store before they can call police. The workers say the candy stolen over the past few months was worth $400 to $600.
The Morning Journal reports the latest theft happened early Tuesday morning. A police report indicates the man stole peanut butter cups and went for a saltier snack, grabbing a bag of chips. He was dressed in black clothing, with a hooded sweatshirt over his head.
A clerk says he tried to stop the thief, who spun him around and fled on foot.

Mercury Pros sweep Angler of the Year in top two bass circuits
Sep 13, 2012
Mercury Pros Brent Chapman and David Dudley each earned Angler of the Year titles in their respective pro circuits this summer.
Chapman of Lake Quivira, Kan., won the 2012 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year title in August, accomplishing a lifelong goal and securing a place in competitive angling history. He also took home the $100,000 winner's purse.
Chapman, 40, earned the honor despite the toughest competition the AOY race has had in years. After struggling in 2011 to qualify for the 2012 Bassmaster Classic, Chapman said he was determined to improve his skills and focus on mental preparedness. It was that drive he said that led him to place tops among the best anglers in bass fishing. A regular on the Elite Series since 2005, Chapman has now qualified for 11 Classic tournaments.
Dudley of Lynchburg, Va., won his second-consecutive FLW Major Tour Angler of the Year title in July after taking the Lake Champlain event in Plattsburgh, N.Y., with an overall weight of 78 pounds, 8 ounces of bass – a pound and 10 ounces ahead of his closest competitor.
"It's always nice to get a trophy," Dudley said after winning the AOY title. "It's something you own and nobody can take that from you."
Dudley recorded three top-five finishes, including victories on Lake Champlain and Beaver Lake in Rogers, Ark., and earned $306,530 during the six-event 2012 FLW Major Tour regular season.
Both anglers run the world's most proven bass boat engine – the Mercury 250 OptiMax Pro XS engine.

What to Do with Unused Prescription Medication?
Sometimes All You Can Do Is Laugh
Thanks for any input.
only you can make the decision about reconstruction.
I am glad I did the reconstruction. I did implants and that
is very time consuming with expanders and then implants.
But they work for me. It is about how you feel about it.
Good luck with your decision.
Hello, I like you let the nerves get to me before surgery and also start asking all kinds of questions. But that is not always a bad thing. I too am having surgery soon but mine is to get a port out not so big a deal lol. But I did have reconstructins and and asked a lot of questions just like you. I had implants put in and still ask questions of others. So you asking questions is very normal but at the same time only you can decide what is going to be best for you and what you are going to want to live with for the rest of your life. I do not know of anyone that has had this done personaly but have heard of one person in a group that was having it done and another telling her about the pain of the surgery. that is all I know about it sorry. Neither of them go to the group any more so I could not ask them how they are doing and how the surgery went for you. Maybe you could ask the Doctor if any of the people are willing to talk to you about it. Or ask in a group if any one has had it done. Like Rachael said go to the diep flap surgery community . I wish you the best of luck on everything good luck with the doctors visit and ask a lot of questions remember there is never a stypid question only the ones you don't ask. Have a great day angel hugs Roberta,
I had Diep Flap reconstruction in December 2011. I had a wonderful surgeon and a good outcome. It is pretty major surgery and the recovery time can be lengthy depending on the person. I was in the hospital for 5 days and was moving slowly for another few weeks. I will mention that I was 42 at the time of surgery and in fairly good shape. I chose this option because it eliminated the foreign object in my body (an implant) and the process itself was much shorter (no expanders). Plus I had some "extra" tummy from the birth of my daughter the year before. My reconstruction looks natural and I'm happy with it. There are pro and cons to every type of reconstruction and what is best for one may not be for another. Good luck with your decision. Jennifer
I had DIEP Flap reconstruction, glad I did it, I did not want implants, I have had no problems with it. I am not as big as I use to be but the first words when I woke and was thank you as it worked and I had cleavage. My recovery was not that bad, I could not stand straight for at least ten days, I was told to walk, walk and walk of which I did. I had a jogging stroller and off I would go, no baby in it, just a rock to keep it weighted, truly believe all the walking helped me. My surgery was quite long as we did both sides...... I hope that things work out that you can have the surgery.....
Good Luck
My mastectomy went all the way to the chest wall, with sentinel nodes removed as well, and it would be very nice to have a breast there. One thing I don't understand still is how they check that breast (the new one) for a recurrence in the surrounding areas. Can they still do a mammogram?
You can probably see just how conflicted I am.
Again, thanks to all and best wishes to every one of you. Anyone else having this heavy rain? I'm in Virginia and we're starting to have some sinkholes open up.
hello, I am so glad that you got some answer from others that have had the surgery that you are getting and had good outcomes that is great. I am sending all good vibes and wishes your way you will be fine just stay positive and think ahead when it is all done and you have those nice young perky boobies !!!
Now about that rain yes it is still raining here also and flash floods every place and even raods washing out and away bridges doing the same all around me. I am staying in any way can't drive for about a week due to the port removal surgery oh it went well feeling some pain today since all the drugs wore off awww !!! lol.lol. I am so happy it is gone finally and I had no issues with the surgery they took me in at 8:45 was out sleeping by 8 and back in room and signing paper to go home by 9:15 a.m so not bad at all. Now just taking it easy for the rest of the week. A little sore today can feel it when pressing the keys but not to bad. So wont be on here for to long or sending to many post out. have a great day and hopefully not any more rain angel hugs Roberta,
I have follow-up MRI's on my DIEP flap reconstructed breast and surrounding areas. That is how my recent reoccurance was caught so early. I still have mamograms for the other breast also along with self exams. I recommend discussing an after care plan with surgeon and oncologist. They may have other options for you.
I am so glad your surgery is over and that you're feeling better. Glad you're taking it easy and hope the soreness lessens. I'll be thinking of you.
Thank you for your input, it was reassuring to actually hear from someone who has actually had a mammogram on the reconstructed breast. I'm sorry to hear about your recurrence. Do you have a treatment plan already? I'll be thinking of you and wishing the best for you.
I now have another worry about the surgery and little time to talk with my surgeon. I'll add that it's difficult to reach his office. My sister had the appointment with the breast surgeon yesterday, and he outlined two treatment options depending on the results of genetic testing which he wants her to have right away. If the test is positive his advice is to have a double mastectomy, radiation and chemotherapy. If it is negative, then it's a lumpectomy, radiation and possible chemo. She was diagnosed Stage IA, triple negative with an Onco DX score of 35, so her chances of recurrence are pretty high.
My question now is whether I should have the surgery at this time. I had my mammogram yesterday on my remaining breast so don't know results yet. I am wondering if I should wait and find out the results of my sister's test and if it is positive then have a right side mastectomy and look at reconstruction later. My Onco DX score was 93%, which I know is sky high.My thinking is that it doesn't make sense to have the reconstruction and then possibly have a mastectomy. I'd either end up with one breast, just opposite to what I have now, or undergo two long surgeries. I have a brain aneurysm and am not sure my neurosurgeon would be ok with two Diep flap procedures.
Anyway, I'll stop for now, as you can see I'm agonizing over this and very sad for my sister. She's a triplet so her diagnosis has dire repercussions for the other two. They are identical and so are considered genetically identical.
Thanks to all of you who listen to me, that's what it feels like.
Best wishes and good thoughts to all,
Again, thanks for your input and good wishes.
