Update, Tuesday, Nov. 13, 3 p.m.
Jim Pergander, business agent for the Lake County Federation of Teachers Local 540, told Patch the Jan. 16 strike date was chosen because "we wanted to give everyone enough time to prepare."
The date, he said, "looks like it's way out there, but it's closer than we think."
The holidays were another reason the date was set in January.
However, said Pergander, "Our priority is to settle this at the table."
Another negotiating session is scheduled for Nov. 28. Pergander said whether the strike happens "literally depends on how things go on the 28th."
That does not mean, though, that both sides can't or won't have an additional session beyond that date if they are close to a settlement, he said.
After Monday's session, Pergander said there has been "limited progress" in contract negotiations, which D46 Supt. Ellen Correll confirmed.
To date, the district has spent $45,000 in attorney fees related to contract negotiations.
Update, Tuesday, Nov. 13, 11:15 a.m.
District 46 Supt. Ellen Correll told Patch that at this time, the district had no plans to keep the school buildings open should the strike happen. She also said she did not know why the strike date of Jan. 16 was chosen, but guessed it was "to give both sides an opportunity to meet and solve the issues," as there is another negotiating session on Nov. 28.
Correll said there has been "limited progress" on the contract sticking points and that she was not at liberty to divulge further details.
Original Post
The following announcement was posted on the Website of Grayslake School District 46. Patch is working to obtain additional information, so keep checking back.
LCFT Teachers' Union Strike Date Announced
The District 46 Board of Education and the Grayslake Federation of Teachers met again last night (November 12) and were unable to come to agreement. The teachers have declared January 16, 2013 as their strike date. Both sides have agreed to meet again on November 28. Please continue to monitor the CCSD 46 website for more information as it is available.
Ellen Correll
Superintendent of Schools
The school board and union (Lake County Federation of Teachers Local 504) had its first negotiating session with a federal mediator on Oct. 30. The last session was held Nov. 12. Another session is scheduled for Nov. 28 and is expected to be the final session before the Jan. 16 strike date.
In October, the union, which represents more than 300 District 46 teachers, voted to authorize a strike as a result of the school board declaring an impasse in contract negotiations.
Both sides have made their best and final offers available for public inspection.
The school board and union have reached a tentative agreement on all non-economic items brought forth during negotiations, but sticking points remain related to salary, retirement and flex benefits teachers can receive in lieu of health insurance.

They were Awesome. Andrea and Samantha were top notch!James from East Meadow, NY

Forgive but I forget the manager's name who helped me but my movers were hours late in arriving to pick up my items from my apartment. I called Uncle Bob's and the manager was willing to come back to the storage unit and help me activate my unit and get everything set up. Otherwise I would have been in major trouble with a full truck of items with nowhere to go. Awesome service. -BradBrad from New York, NY

Megan and Mike are very nice and professional and understanding. I would recommend Uncle Bobs to everyone.Liz from New Fairfield, CT

The facility is impeccably maintained, and the staff is knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly, and overall made my move a pleasant one.Mark from Massapequa Park, NY
July 24, 2014
I would suggest you offer a way to dispose of junk or items that people throw out. It was the only thing that was truly inconvenient about your facility. Maybe you can partner with a service like 1-800-GotJunk (they take everything!) and offer it straight to your customers. So they don't have to worry about fitting junk they don't want in their cars or trucks because there is no way for you to dispose of it. Otherwise, storage was great! :)Ana Lucia from Hoboken, NJ

Entrance gate hasn't worked the past 3 times I have been there so I was unable to access my unitChristopher from Bay Shore, NY
July 1, 2014
The staff was very helpful. I had a concern about the outdoor parking space next to mine being dirty and filled with garbage. The staff got right on it, called the client and asked for his space to be cleaned. Two weeks later it was. My only complaint is that the outside grounds are overwhelmed with overgrown grass and weeds. This needs to be addressed because there could be snakes, ticks or some danger that can not be seen when trying to get in or out of your vechicle. Not to mention that it looks awful and not a good image for Uncle Bobs.Kelly from Brewster, NY

This year's winner of the annual Miss America pageant looked a little different from the typical Caucasian champion, and the social media world responded to the change.
Nina Davuluri of New York became a hash tag sensation almost instantly after the Indian-America contestant took the top prize. Tweets misidentified her as being of Arabic descent and alleged she belonged to an array of terrorist organizations. Others said she didn't deserve the title given she wasn't American.
The reality is Davuluri is American, born in the U.S. and the people of Grady County are fully aware of it.
Respondents to a question on The Express-Star's Facebook on the treatment of Davuluri were almost unanimously in her favor.
"It's Miss America not miss black, white, purple.. You get my drift.. If your a Miss and an American it's game on," Christie Bard wrote. "America is a rainbow of color and cultures."
Bobby Jo Nunn addressed her concerns siting a popular American mantra.
"I thought this was America land of the free," she wrote. "I just don't understand why people have to see color and not what the person had accomplished in their life."
Some said Davuluri was a perfect representation of America.
"America is a country of immigrants, if people don't recall that! It began in 1620 with the pilgrims, well if we look around, America continues to be a country of immigrants," Karen Tillman wrote. "There is so much diversity in this country, just look around, who doesn't have or has not had an Indian doctor, who has not seen a foreign engineer, this young lady is who represents what the nation is, not only one race, not only one ethnicity , but the combination of different ones. What matters most in people is who they are, their accomplishment, their values, not the color of the skin."
Other respondents found the debate in its entirety to be ridiculous.
"Was she born in America? If not I have an issue, otherwise people need to shut up," Jessica Brookman wrote.
Regardless, all respondents echoed each other in finding the racial comments to be uncalled for.

know that everyone has a different point of view on the drow. Some folks love 'em, and some folks hate 'em. Me, I love to hate them!
About two years ago I was playing in a campaign that spent a significant amount of time wandering the Underdark. Needless to say, we had more than a few run-ins with those pesky dark elves. I learned to grudgingly admire their abilities and strengths, but really despised that the Underdark seemed to be crawling with those bloodthirsty folks. The fact that I was the biggest and burliest guy in the party made me a great target for them as well. They were sneaky little guys . . .
Although I didn't have the opportunity to play the game of treachery with the drow myself, a couple of party members did when they inserted themselves into drow society. With that experience in mind, after I got the message that we were going to do a drow-themed D&D Fortune Card set, I grew a bit excited at the potential I saw with this project. After R&D and the Creative Studio had a product brief meeting, where we gained a better understanding of what R&D wanted to do with this product, the Creative Studio played with the cards a bit, alongside the other Rise of the Underdark elements.
It was clear from playing with the cards that we were doing something new with this set, so we wanted them to be visually different from previous D&D Fortune Card sets. Here's the thing about this round of cards: they are a lot like the drow. In other words, get ready for some intrigue, some backstabbing, some self-serving behaviors, and a whole lot of treachery.
Mari Kolkowsky was the art director on this set, and she jumped into the new direction of the product with gusto. She kicked around a few ideas and pitched an artist line-up that included the following:
With this new direction in mind, we went with a more whimsical art style to offset some of the dirty deeds play style. This style harkens back to what we did in the Player's Strategy Guide.
I hope you enjoy this fun and fresh look at these conniving and deadly denizens of the Underdark.
Next week, I'll share some thoughts from Gen Con and talk a bit about envisioning the ogre.

Ada —
Upon entering 'The Dunham' — the Ada Cougars' indoor practice facility — one wondered who the quarterback in the white T-shirt running plays on the far end may be. His moves are familiar. Perhaps a big No. 6 on his back would help.
Graduating senior Wyatt Robson, who piled up all the Ada passing records during his three-year tenure, was back to help out.
"It has been great. He is such a leader, as well as a performer that I can concentrate on the defense while he runs the QBs," head coach Matt Weber said of Robson Thursday on the fourth day of spring football.
As Weber and his staff develop QBs and other skilled players, it seems O-line coach Nathan Elliott and defensive line coach Dusty Raper find themselves in the somewhat unusual position of having the most experienced positions.
The coaching staff was also bolstered by the return of 2008 All-State linebacker Corey Javernick.
Javernick will be a volunteer coach with the Cougars in the fall. The unpaid position is a way to get into coaching and Javernick said doing it at his alma mater was great.
Javernick, looking like he just stepped off a surfboard on a California beach, will finish up at the University of Oklahoma next year.

August 1, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee Senate Republicans are proposing legislation that seeks to prevent expansion of the state Medicaid program under provisions of President Barack Obama's health care law.
The measure, called the "TennCare Fiscal Responsibility Act", was filed Thursday by Sen. Brian Kelsey of Germantown and has 15 Senate co-sponsors. A similar version of the proposal was filed last week in the House.
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states have the right to opt out of Medicaid expansion without losing pre-existing federal Medicaid funding.
Kelsey says Tennessee taxpayers "can't afford $200 million a year to expand TennCare."
If all 16 senators end up voting for the bill, they would only need one more vote to get it passed.

Balance shifts on health care committeeBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | December 14,2013MONTPELIER The balance of power in the House Committee on Health Care will shift in favor of Democrats next year when House Speaker Shap Smith drops a Republican from the 11-person panel and replaces him with a member of the ruling party.
Gone from the committee, Smith said late Friday evening, is Rep. John Mitchell, a Republican from Fairfax now headed to the House Committee on Education. Replacing him is incoming Democratic Rep. Kathy Hoyt, appointed by Gov. Peter Shumlin earlier this year to replace the seat vacated by Margaret Cheney.
House Speaker Shap Smith said the move is designed to make way for a newly minted lawmaker whose breadth and depth of experience are critically important as we move forward with health care reform.
House Minority Leader Don Turner, however, said the shake up amounts to partisan maneuvering designed to undermine the influence of the GOP as the Democratic supermajority prepares to face tough questions over the troubled roll out of the new health insurance exchange.
Im very concerned and Im very disappointed, Turner said late Friday evening. I think Vermonters will see through this that Democrats dont like tough questions when it comes to health care, and that by taking away a person who is asking those like tough questions may make it easier for them.
The personnel change comes during the middle of the two-year biennium, and isnt the only reassignment Smith confirmed Friday.
Rep. Patti Lewis, a Berlin Republican, will move from education to the House Committee on Government Operations. Incoming Democratic Rep. Margie Ryerson, who filled the Randolph seat opened up by the death of Larry Townsend, will be assigned to the House Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Rep. Rebecca Ellis, a Waterbury Democrat, will take over as vice-chairwoman of energy and natural resources, a position formerly held by Cheney.
Hoyt, who lives in Norwich, has a long career in government that includes stints as secretary of administration under former Govs. Madeline Kunin and Howard Dean. She was a also a member of a three-person panel that spent more than a year examining ways to overhaul the states tax structure.
With his direct appointment of Hoyt in September, Shumlin bypassed the conventional nominating process in which the local party committee forwards three names to the governors desk. Hoyts predecessor left when she accepted Shumlins appointment to a seat on the three-person Public Service Board.
(Hoyt) is someone who has seen state government from every angle, and her experience will be invaluable on that committee, Smith said.
Turner said that if Smith wanted to find room for Hoyt on the committee, he could have done so without eroding what little representation the GOP has on a panel that will be dealing next year not only with the exchange, but with the seeds of a public financing system for the single-payer system Shumlin has said will come online by 2017.
I think its wrong, Turner said. I just dont like that were going to have only two Republicans on one of the most important committees in the House right now.
Smith said the composition of the Health Care Committee during the last session wasnt reflective of the partisan make-up of the body. The six Democrats, one Progressive, one independent and three Republicans, Smith said, didnt mirror the near super-majority status of his party.
Its 6-5 committee right now, and the balance is different than most of the other committees, and that plays a role in the decision, Smith said. And its not an easy decision.
That narrow margin led to some very public setbacks last session for the committees Democratic chairman, who saw his committee go against him on at least one high-profile vote.
Rep. Mary Morrissey, who will be one of two Republicans left on the Health Care Committee, said the change disrespects the work that Mitchell and the committee have done over the first half of the session.
Turner said he appreciated that the speaker called him earlier this week to inform him of his plan, and that Smith was willing to work with Republicans in determining which of the three would be sent to the education committee.
Turner said he thinks Hoyts experience on the Blue Ribbon Tax Commission, the panel that worked in 2009 to try to reform the income and sales tax, is one of the reasons Smith wants her on health care.
From my perspective, I think theyre trying to figure out how theyre going to do single-payer, Turner said. And being a former member of that commission, Im sure she has a lot of information about taxation.
Smith said Hoyts facility with the tax code is one reason among many shell be a good fit on the committee.
Certainly it helps that she was on the Blue Ribbon Tax Commission, Smith said. But it really is the breadth and depth of her experience.
Darcie Johnston, head of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom, which working to stymie progress toward single-payer, said the committee reassignments underscore the urgency of the opposition.
This is a clearly partisan political move to rearrange the deck chairs to get the political result they want of moving single payer health care forward, she said.

CORRECTION - PUBLISHED JAN. 18, 2013 - Due to a reporter error, a suspect arrested after a car crash was incorrectly identified in a story. Terry W. Bliger, 44, of Tampa, Fla., was the man arrested after a single-vehicle crash on Springcut Road in Laurel County. Bliger faces charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, prescription controlled substance not in its proper container, first offense and third-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, first offense.
We regret any inconvenience this error caused.
By John L. Ross / Staff Writer
Two separate single-vehicle crashes sent one man to the hospital and another man to jail.
The first crash happened in Knox County.
Matthew Scott, 37, of Gray, was traveling from his home on Hazel Fork Road when he slid into a tree.
He was driving a GMC Jimmy 4X4 and hauling a trailer when the crash happened.
Knox County Sheriff's Deputy Chad Walker said he was "not sure" if speed played a factor in the crash.
When emergency crews arrived, Scott was unconscious, Walker said. West Knox Fire and Rescue Department personnel extracted Scott from the vehicle. He was then taken by Knox County EMS to the hospital, and airlifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington.
At press time, Scott was listed in fair condition.
The second crash was in Laurel County, and it led to an arrest.
According to Laurel County Sheriff John Root, the single-vehicle crash was on KY 1223 East, known as Springcut Road, near Wells Drive between London and Corbin.
Senior Sgt. Greg Poynter and deputies Robbie Grimes and Greg Turner were at the scene. They say Terry W. Bliger, 44, of Tampa, Fla., was driving his Chevrolet Monte Carlo eastbound on Springcut Road when he lost control and ran off the roadway.
He then hit a culvert, overturning the car into a ditch.
The Monte Carlo then erupted into flames.
Bliger escaped the vehicle with minor injuries, according to Root, and was treated at Saint Joseph London.
Root said Bliger was in town visiting relatives. When deputies continued their investigation, they uncovered several different types of pills in the car. Detective Jason Back was called in to further investigate the pills, and he charged Scott on several offenses. Root said he found a bag of marijuana, a marijuana pipe, and Xanax and Zanaflex pills.
According to Root, Scott said he got the pills "from a friend" and that he also received oxycodone pills through a Florida pain clinic.
Also seized from the car was a large amount of U.S. currency.
Scott now faces charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, prescription controlled substances not in their proper container, first offense, and third-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, first offense.
After treatment at the hospital, Scott was jailed in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
Assisting at the scene were members of the Lily Volunteer Fire Department, the London-Laurel Rescue Squad and Ambulance, Inc. of Laurel County.

Although most Americans spent Tuesday night watching Obama and Romney or the Yankees and the Tigers spar, some New England viewers were shaken out of their seats when a 4.0 magnitude earthquake hit Waterboro, Maine.
It was a natural event the East Coast became all too familiar with more than a year ago when an earthquake hit the DC region.
The U.S. Geological Survey wants residents to be prepared in case another earthquake strikes.
It is hosting its first "ShakeOut" drill in this area, including six states in the southeast and Washington, DC, on Thursday, Oct. 18.
The ShakeOut drills have been held since 2008 and Thursday's drill will also include seven other states as well as Guam, Puerto Rico, British Columbia and Italy. This year's drill was planned prior to Tuesday's earthquake in Maine.
The drill is supposed to help educated residents to "drop, cover, and hold on" during an earthquake and will begin at 10:18 a.m.
Here's what you should do during the drill:
- If you are indoors, you should "drop, cover, and hold on."
- Drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on to it firmly.
- If you are not near a desk or table, drop to the floor against the interior wall and protect your head and neck with your arms.
- Avoid exterior walls, windows, hanging objects, mirrors, tall furniture, large appliances, and kitchen cabinets with heavy objects or glass.
- While down on the floor, take a moment to look around at what could be falling during a real earthquake. Those items should be secured or moved after the drill.
- If you happen to be outdoors, move to a clear area if you can safely do so.
- Avoid power lines, trees, signs, buildings, vehicles, and other items that could fall on you.
- If you are driving, pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake.
- Avoid stopping under overpasses, bridges, power lines, or traffic signs.
- Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over.
If you want your school, business, family or friends to join, you can register on the ShakeOut website. Resources and tips are also provided online.
Remember to come back to Patch and tell us about your experience.

Cool kid. Thanks for posting the link.
Beautiful. I've seen this posted on many sites, so it seems to be getting a fairly wide viewership.
My goodness!!!!.......Remarkable short speech.
NJL (...I wonder if he votes republican???......)
Very impressive. He has great poise for someone still so young, and from what I can gather, with teenagers like him the US has a future.
Five of my friends on Facebook actually just posted this, so it's definitely making its way around.
I want him to run for office and I want to vote for him.
WOW! What a remarkable young man. So articulate, so in touch with reality. Wish he could go before the courts in every state, he could prove what many of us already know: same sex marriage is not wrong!
That's the most articulate and centered 19 year old I've seen in a long while. Kudos to his parents.

Individuals and meetings embody a dynamic balance among four aspects of spirituality -- belief, community, activism, and mystery -- which change with experience. Participants will assess their "spiritual fitness" profile and revitalize their individual spiritual practices, enhancing growth in awareness and faithfulness.
Workshop Description
This is a spiritual fitness workshop. Spiritual growth occurs both from the outside in, with actions inducing shifts in consciousness, and from inside out, with experience and insight inducing changes in behavior. The workshop objective is that each person learn more about their own spiritual gifts and learn both individual and corporate practices for developing them further. As well, the exercise practices we will do have the potential to improve each person's ability to recognize opportunities (nudges and calls) for using their gifts in loving service to others and to their community, and for growing into the trust in the inner teacher required for faithfulness.
I have been intrigued by the markedly different ways in which people manifest their spirituality, including those who insist that they are "not spiritual." I have come to believe that the conformity induced by the intense competition in our global culture sometimes thwarts the spiritual growth of those whose strengths in spirituality do not seem to fit well into those of their Quaker meeting or other spiritual community to which they belong. For example, those drawn to elaborate theology might feel out of place if they compare their gifts and interests to the deeply mystical experiences some have in worship or individual contemplative practices.My calling among Friends has to do with enhancing appreciation of diversity, both within ourselves as we walk through our lives, and among the various people we encounter and come to know in our communities. In my experience, as this appreciation, which is a core part of practicing Equality as life testimony, increases, we grow not only in the spirit—in Love, but also in practical relationships with other individuals and with community. The development of this workshop grows out of the current focus of that calling.
In the recognition that each person has their own spiritual content, we will focus first on self-assessment, including the loci of awareness where each aspect is centered within our bodies, before moving into detailed work on each aspect in the context of the whole.
I will ask each participant to bring to Gathering an object (or a photograph, if the object is a large one) that plays an important role in the development of their spirituality.
Schedule (Subject to Change with New Insight]: There will be a brief centering worship before the activities listed below for each session, and a brief open worship at the end of each. Passages for contemplation are read aloud. Various individual and group contemplative practices will be used on each day, including guided meditation, worship sharing and lectio divina.
Meeting One. Introduction
a. Reading for Contemplation: 1 Corinthians 12
b. What are the four pillars/domains/aspects of spirituality? Descriptive content of this taxonomy and its holographic nature
c. What is each participant's perspective or experience of each of these aspects? Description of the object you brought with you.
d. Introduction of chants, mudras (hand postures) and other postures to clear or enhance activity of body regions where each aspect is centered.
e. Exercise for assessing current profile for each participant
Meeting Two. Mystery
a. Reading for Contemplation: 1 Corinthians 13
b. Seeing "face to face:" Guided meditation for opening heart chakra.
c. Sharing of experience around this practice
Meeting Three. Activism
a. Reading for Contemplation. From John Woolman's Journal.
b. How to avoid turning an action into an attempt to control: The Activist's Galliard
c. Exercise around Trust.
d. Individual practice for enhancing function of the third and fifth chakras and the collaboration between them
e. Sharing of experience around this practice
Meeting Four: Beliefs (Expressions of Joining in both Physical and Transcending Reality)
a. The "Word" and The Embodiment. How to talk about our beliefs about divinity/transcendence/wholeness without creating a Tower of Babel: group exercise
b. Writing exercise in expressing belief.
c. Individual practice for enhancing function of second and sixth chakras and the counterpoint between them
d. Sharing of experience around this practice.
Meeting Five. Community
a. Reading for Contemplation: Pennington's letter from Aylesbury (1667)
b. Triads and whole group exercises around being "members of one another." What is the place of spiritual community in your life? What are your spiritual gifts? What corporate practices might assist your growing into your gifts of ministry for your community?
c. Individual practice for enhancing function of root and crown chakras and their relationship.
d. Sharing of experience around this practice.
e. Development of your own commitment for building spiritual community at home.
N.B. All of the hand and body postures I will use are gentle enough for anyone with the level of physical ability that allows them to be at Gathering and can be done seated in a normal chair. However, if some participants desire the freedom of movement a mat and/or pillow can afford,they should bring their own with them.
Leader Experience
I have led workshops at Gatherings 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013. I have also led short workshops at Northern Yearly Meeting several times since 2005.
I facilitated one of the six two-hour sessions ("Worship"—6 October 2012) on Quaker Topics offered by Green Street Meeting fall 2012. I developed this series in consultation with other members of Green Street's Worship and Ministry Committee.
I taught a term-long course at Pendle Hill, spring 2011, "Writing Our Lives"
I co-led the Inquirers Weekend Workshop November 2010 at Pendle Hill.
I co-facilitated the A&O Outreach Hour-and-One-Half with Jane Berger at 2007 Gathering
I facilitated a two-part (one-and-one-half hours each part) workshop on our NYM Sessions theme, Building Spiritual Bridges. (2007 NYM Sessions)
I facilitated an afternoon workshop on responsibility and co-creation at our NYM regional meeting (2003 Milwaukee)
I have facilitated Madison Meeting Community In-reach interactive trainings, lasting from two to three hours. These trainings form a basis for the first workshop I developed for the Gathering. The first two trainings, on Quaker Worship and the Equality Testimony, were the foundation for pamphlets co-authored by the participants on the respective topics. Our contributions were published in the Madison Meeting newsletter. There have also been In-reach Sessions on the Peace Testimony and, fall 2007, a session on God and Community. (2007—2009)
I facilitated a Framework for Cultural Competence training as part of the Center for Friends of Color Program (2002 Gathering)
Secular Venues:
I facilitated three sixteen-hour (two-day) workshops in Cultural Competence for staff and clients, including one that I authored myself "Valuing Diversity." I also authored a workshop in the same series on Cultural Self-Assessment, which was not given because of funding cuts. These were at my previous workplace, Mental Health Center of Dane County (MHCDC).
I co-facilitated with a Yahara House (unit of MHCDC) member, monthly hour-long interactive trainings in Compassionate Communication (also known as Nonviolent Communication)
June 2007—2009
I taught academic philosophy at graduate and undergraduate levels 1975-1985 and 1988-1096. (Rutgers University, Haverford college, College of Charleston, University of Wisconsin)

*No Dr Outside Contact Please*
I am new here. I've actually just now signed up and started this post without taking the time to look around. Maybe I should do that first, yet I never seem to do anything right, so here I am. Probably doing the exact opposite of what I should be doing.
A lil about me to start off with. I was diagnosed w/ Rapid Cycling Bipolar (I believe I am actually what's called Ultradian Cycling Bipolar as the RCB does not fit w/ what happens to me on a daily basis) along w/ Psychotic Tendencies. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Anxiety Disorder, w/ Social Phobia. I also refuse to take med's for any of this. That may seem absurd to those reading this after me divulging my diagnosis.
On a brighter note however. I do take a high dosage of Fish oil to help regulate my transitions. Also, I am looking into growing my own Thai Basil w/ all its beneficialness (<-- Is that even a word? Sounds so funny saying it out loud, lol) Anyways, I have come round full circle from where I once was to where I am now in my life. However, I cannot admit that I feel it's enough
I've been dealing w/ all this my whole life. My later teenage years and early adulthood days were a walking, and breathing nightmare. In all honesty? I'm quite surprised I'm still alive, or didn't end up in jail more than I did. I don't have a support group. My family doesn't know how to cope, or deal w/ any of this. Often, more than not, I quite literally go through everything alone.
There have been many times, in fact, where I shouldn't have been alone. Yet, here I am. Still standing. Still alive. Guess its true the old saying: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! How come I don't feel very strong then? Anyways, on a regular basis, I feel like there is someone else in my head. With whom I fight a never ending battle with.
As if I didn't already sound crazy enough, right? Haha. I don't feel like I have an alter ego, or another "actual" person in my head. Yet, it like this: I have my good days where I feel normal, happy, and where Im in the greatest mood ever. Typically Mania stuff there, yet my moods fluctuate on such a rapid cycle that I never know when Im going to be. Happy or downright depressed and suicidal.
Which brings me to the other half of my story. The other side of myself, in why I feel like im sharing my head w/ two different ppl. Altho Im not. When I cycle, or when I transition, It's like I can't help but think of committing suicide. I'm almost 40yrs old and still here, so this is nothing to be alarmed at here. This is normal for me, as Ive said before. Been dealing w/ this my whole life.
Yet still, when I've cycled, and in that other frame of mind. It quite literally feels like some1 else is behind the wheel, recklessly speedin through oncoming traffic. All the while, the normal (happy) me is tied up in the back seat screaming and kicking for dear life. Hopelessly prayin that I don't end up givin in and doing something stupid.
When I'm not all tied up in the back seat. When the other me wants more, personal, interaction w/ me. Only way I can describe it is like this. It's like he wants to dance, and it's all I can do to pacify him w/ me wrapping my arms around him and holding on for dear life. That sounds odd for even for me rereading that just now, with actually putting what happens down in print. Yet as disturbing as it may be, this is how it plays out in my head. Holding on for dear life, I mean.
All the while, going at it all alone. I cant afford professional help, and don't get me started on sliding scale payment plans. Bottom line there, you get what you pay for. Sliding scale plans are a joke. Been there, done that. I really don't know why I'm even here writing this all out. Maybe cause this is me reaching out for someone to talk too. Someone who cares, and will actually listen. I'm just so sick to death w/ going at this by myself. Anyways, who cares? We all have problems, or a story to tell, right?
Welcome to my obscure nightmare everyone
Just know you are not alone.
Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all. ~Emily Dickinson
Too each their own. Yet, I have done extensive research into these "so called helpful med's" these professionals deem necessary. In all honesty? I don't believe med's are the answer.
I'm quite sure they do help to some degree. However, and this is only my opinion here. I believe meds only serve as a bandage. Or, what others call the Band-Aid Effect. Only covering up the problem with failing to cure it, or even coming close to doing anything but just that. Covering it up.
There may very well not be a cure for bipolar. Yet, as I once read long ago. You can either invest in your own health. Or, some Dr's student loan, or porch payment.
Not that I am against Dr's. As they do serve a purpose. I just believe we have given these Dr's to much of a say in our lives. But that is another conversation all on its own.
I believe in natural remedies. Not saying every single one works. As It was when I first started out down this path. I was taking Flaxseed Oil to begin with. Yet, wasn't getting any results. Not until I switched over to Fish Oil.
Granted, I take nearly 5000 mg a day. Yet, fish oil has helped me in ways nothing else has before. And I've been on a number of med's in the past.
Again, too each their own. However, I will stick to what I believe is working for me. Mind you, yes. I still do cycle. However, I now have anywhere from 15 to 25 good days in one month.
Where as before? I was only able to have a few days a month that were good. And just because one thing doesn't work, its just like taking med's. You have to experiment to find what does works.
Not that I'm trying to talk you into doing anything here. I'm just saying. I have experimented and I believe that even tho i may very well continue to cycle. As I do! So do you, am I wrong?
Sure, it may not be as much, or as often as you were before. Yet still, you still do cycle, right? With everything I have come to know about med's vs. natural remedies. There is nothing out there that will give us 100% without the cycling.
We will always cycle! Thats just a fact of life for us. Its just a matter of what you're willing to take, and what you're not willing to take. What you're willing to live with, and what you're not willing to live with. One more thing tho, before I bring this to a close.
I am continuing to research what may very well help me with the other % of time that my moods fluctuate. And, I will agree with just about anyone on this when I say, there are indeed things that I need help with.
Like my PTSD, or my Social Phobia. Haven't quite learned how to handle those aspects very well, as of yet. With that being said tho, thank you for your reply and I'm glad you found something that works for you.
I think that you have a very closed mind about physicians and the prescription medications that are offered to help keep you stable. Yes, they may cause other medical conditions. I know this as I am legally blind likely from high dosages of a medication I was on to stabilize me. Yes, they change our medications frequently until they find the right mix to keep us relatively stable. And no, I would much rather be legally blind that for me to crash and {{{{TRIGGER}}} and up ending my life or running off to do something that would completely destroy my life.
As for homeopathic treatment, you said you've been using Fish Oil as your treatment. Did you know that there is a study out there that has linked Fish Oil to Prostate Cancer? And if it is linked to one cancer, as history has shown us, it is likely linked to others as well. No matter what we put into our bodies, there are reactions, both good and bad.
As for the cycling? Yes, I still do cycle. It bites the big one. But as kitty mentioned, therapy has helped immensely. What exactly is the link between therapy and medication? The medication works to keep me stable. But it also helps me to identify a change in my mood, no matter how miniscule. It is my "alarm clock" which tells me I need to bust my butt. I have a host of coping skills that help me to minimize the frequent ups and downs. My roller coaster of mood is no longer running 100 mph, but is now about 40-50 mph. I use the tools from therapy to minimize the impact of my change in moods. Yes, there are times that I cannot slow it, but those times are few and far between and are usually situationally linked.
You are entitled to chose your own treatment. But honestly, it sounds like it isn't working for you.
Good luck.
Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all. ~Emily Dickinson
Yes, I know meds dont work for ptsd or social phobia. Or, homeopathic ones either. And, I know I need help, it's just hard reaching out for it when you've attempted so hard to be normal around others so you wont be looked at as abnormal. Not to mention the cost of seeking help these days
I have been dealing with all this since I was child. My ptsd is due to my car accident I was in when I was 7 years old. In all honesty, I dont remember any of it. Yet, looking back now, I think i was trying to commit suicide.
Sounds odd to hear that a 7 year old child would do such a thing. Yet, my childhood was very bad. My mother was a drug addict, and a drunk. Not to mention extremely abusive. Anyways, so ya. I know I need help. Not so easy when you cant afford it, or what you can afford is bunk around here.
Too Melly
I did not know fish oil was linked to prostate cancer. I know it makes ppl bleed more than normal when cut, or what have ya. I have been thinking, lately, about switching back over to flaxseed tho. Just taking a higher dosage, as I wasnt taking that much back when I first tried it.
I have learned that ground up flaxseeds are far better for you (bipolar ppl) than flaxseed oils are. So, one of these days I will attempt to try that. Just not looking forward to stopping the fish oil as I will have to deal with the constant Ups and Downs until I find what works.
I am, indeed, close minded to physicians and prescription meds. Been to a number of physicians since I was 17. Also been on a number of meds in the past. All of which did nothing to help, and cost tons of money. Not to mention all the side effects they cause. Believe me, since then Ive done a lot of research on meds to feel the way I do about them
Up here where I live, the medical mental health help isnt so great. Yes, I know about payment plans and sliding scale. Yet, up here? You get what you pay for. I had a physician once basically tell me there is nothing wrong with me. Which was on a sliding scale payment plan
Yet, two years later, found a physician who tested me and found that I was Rapid Cycling Bipolar w/ Psychotic Tendencies, along with PTSD, Anxiety, and Social Phobia. That sounds to me like something was, and is indeed wrong. And that Dr. I had to pay out the nose for. So again, you get what you pay for up here.
As for what Im, taking, not working? I have had far more good days than bad ones these days since I started the fish oil. So, the proof is in the evidence with my own personal findings. Granted, I will be looking into flaxseeds now from what you stated earlier about prostate cancer.
There is something out there "naturally" that we can take, just like there is something out there "man made" what we can take. Its just a matter of perspective, along with taking the time to find it. Sorry, but thats what I believe.
I have healthy life style habits with the exception of exercise and that requires shear will power that I don't have most days. I had a very bad episode which gradually escalated into psychosis and I had to take medications again. I don't have a choice in the matter. I was a danger to myself and others without medications so the benefits outweigh the risks for me and others.
Like you and everyone else here, I want more than anything for a healthy life style alone to prevent future episodes, but I cannot weather another episode like the last one without medications and pray I don't have to. The cost of my medicines is outrageous, and I am not too crazy about the side effects either.
Thank you for posting your point of view

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants: Preview and Pick
11 Replies | 418 ViewsOn 09/30/2013 06:08 PM in NFL
Something has to give in week five of the NFL schedule has two floundering teams from the NFC East meet up. After winning an impressive opening game against the Washington Redskins, the Philadelphia Eagles have yet to win a game and this week will run into an angry New York Giants team. The Giants have yet to get a win this season and are hoping a home game will turn things around.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants Odds
The NFL betting line for this game opened up with the Giants listed as (-1.5) point favorites. Football betting fanatics have lost hope for Big Blue and over 65 percent of the early wagers are being placed on the road team. In fact the sports betting consensus shows that 65 percent of the bets are on the Eagles. Despite the money, the line has moved in favor of the Giants and can now be found at (-2.5) at some of the top rated online sportsbooks found at Bang the Book.com.
The Eagles will be happy to go back to the East coast after being manhandled by the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning. The Broncos scored 52 points Sunday, their most in franchise history. Denver has scored at least 40 points in three of its four games this season so the Eagles have not been the only victims.
The Giants have also had two major problems, the defense and turnovers. The Giants are just the third team in NFL history to allow at least 30 points and commit at least three turnovers in each of their first four games of a season. The Giants, proud Super Bowl champions of 2007 and 2011 season, are 0-4 for the first time since 1987, a mass of injury and disarray, but they can right the ship with a win at home against the Eagles.
The latest NFL betting trends reveal that a low scoring game could be in order. The total has gone under in 4 of the NY Giants last 6 games when playing Philadelphia and the total has gone under in 12 of the NY Giants last 17 games when playing at home against Philadelphia. The Eagles are 5-1 straight up in their last 6 games when playing on the road against NY Giants and 2-6-1 straight up in its last 9 games on the road. The NY Giants are 1-5-1 straight up in their last 7 games and 2-8 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games when playing Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants Pick
With plenty of time to go before kickoff, I will wait to release my pick on this game until we get closer to game day.

ENID, Okla. —
It took only four months being in Enid for Jordan Morris to bring her case to the city commission.
She came here in May and works at a downtown law firm. Her issue could be a common one for people who spend the day working — and parking — in the heart of Enid.
"About four times a day, I'm forced to re-park my car so I don't get a parking citation," Morris told the Enid City Commission at the end of a meeting in September.
Nearly every street-side parking space in downtown is controlled by a two-hour time limit. That's fine for shoppers and customers of those businesses on Independence, Grand, Broadway and others. But for Morris, her co-workers and likely everyone who doesn't own a private parking space, avoiding a ticket can mean relocating several times each day.
A ticket is $10, or $20 if paid late.
"It's kind of like a pebble in your shoe," Morris said when reached last week. "And then you actually have to pay for that? The pebble turns into a nail."
In her address to members of the commission, Morris suggested a parking permit solution. Other cities have adopted this, including Jacksonville, Fla., where Morris interned.
"To me, it seems a little bit unreasonable. There's some kind of alternative that can be made there that could benefit the [city's] income," she said.
Since that commission meeting, Morris said she hasn't heard back from anyone at the city about her proposal. City of Enid spokesman Steve Kime queried city leadership Thursday about the issue, and their response leaves the door open for possible future policy set by the commissioners and mayor.
"The commission hasn't directed any action on this topic," Kime said.
During the meeting on Sept. 17, Ward 1 Commissioner Ron Janzen noted the issue isn't a new one.
"I served previously on this commission in the late '80s, and we had exactly the same issue brought up at that time," he said. "This is something we've been working on for a long time."

Teenage girls attack woman in Tadley
4:05pm Tuesday 20th November 2012 in News By Chris Gregory, Senior Reporter
A WOMAN was attacked by two teenage girls in Tadley.
The assault took place at 5.30pm on Sunday, November 11, as the 25-year-old victim walked in Mount Pleasant.
The teenage girls punched her and pushed her to the ground. She was left shaken but was not injured.
Officers have now released a CCTV picture of two girls they want to speak to.
PC Dean Stickland said: "They travelled by bus from Basingstoke to Tadley and got off at Mulfords Hill parade, where they then followed and assaulted a woman who had travelled on the same bus."
Both teenage girls are said to be white and aged between 15 and 17-years-old.
The first girl had blonde hair and wore a white, hooded jacket beige jeans or trousers and brown boots. The second girl had dark, shoulder-length hair and wore a blue body warmer, dark jeans or leggings and brown boots.
Anyone with information can contact PC Stickland at Tadley police station on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The offenders purport to be victims of society. The courts impose the minimum sentenence for some dumb reason. The victim lives with this for the rest of their life.
