The Many Faces of Nic Cage: Cameron Poe /Con Air
January 9, 2012 § Leave a comment
No actor affects me in quite the same way that Nicolas Cage does. He's a mystery. He's talented. He's batshit crazy. Here are two simple facts about Cage that explain why he dumbfounds me so much:
- He was genius in Adaptation, award-winning in Leaving Las Vegas, excellent in Raising Arizona.
- He was in Bangkok Dangerous.
Nic Cage might have the ability to do or be anything he wants. He might have an acting ceiling as high as Daniel Day-Lewis, but he's got the standards of a two-nickel whore. The insanity of Cage knows no bounds, and I assume that off-camera he's not too much unlike his characters in The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans or Kiss of Death.
Seriously Nic, what the fuck is wrong with you?
One of my favorite faces of Cage though, the one that I start this series with, is bad-boy-but-actually-good-boy Cameron Poe in Con Air.
Fact: Cameron Poe is balding.
Fact: Cameron Poe don't give no shit 'bout that, he gon' grow his hair anyway.
He looks like Jared Allen, and that's not a good thing because at least Jared Allen makes millions. You're just white trash, Poe.
The writers of Con Air had to figure out a way to make it so that a "real bad prisoner" would be a good guy that we would root for as a hero. They decided that the best way to do this was to make him an Army Ranger that accidentally kills a guy that is trying to rape his pregnant wife.
He spent eight years in maximum security prison for this. I only have one slight issue with the sentence and that's that he accidentally killed a guy that was trying to rape his pregnant wife.
I get that because he was trained to kill a guy with his hands and then killed a guy with his hands, it's like he basically shot him when maybe he could have just wounded him, but can we cut a guy a break? Or how about cut his wife a break? She's eight months pregnant and the judge couldn't go a little easy on an Army fucking Ranger?
Finally, he gets paroled EARLY on good behavior (eight years wasn't even the full sentence) on July 14th, he's going to meet his daughter for the first time on July 14th, it's her birthday on JULY 14TH!
Seriously, this movie wants you to know that July 14th is the best day that anyone has ever had… ever. His daughter wins life.
Long story short:
Prisoners need to be moved from one prison to another and get on a plane to do it and they take all of the worst low-lifes in America at the same time, including a stop to pick up even MORE low-lifes, but Nic Cage is just hitching a ride home rather than just getting another flight because hey why not save a few hundred bucks and be treated like a prisoner for a few more hours even though you've been locked up for eight years?
So yeah, typical story.
The funny thing about Con Air is that even though it's a ridiculous action movie with a ridiculous premise and terribly cheesy dialogue, it's not just packed with action, it's also packed with a great cast.
Beyond Cage, there's John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, John Cusack, Ving Rhames, Danny Trejo, Dave Chappelle, Mykelti Williamson, and Colm Meaney.
I don't know what interested Malkovich in this movie, but I'm so fucking happy that he did it and Cyrus the Virus is one of the greatest movie villains of all-time because of him.
I could do a whole series on John Cusack as well, just one of my favorite actors, and to have Cusack, Malkovich, and Cage all in the same movie is like having sex with the girl of your dreams but it's finally not only in your dreams. It actually happened.
Cameron Poe is n0t of of Cage's most complicated characters. Poe just wants to go home. He's not a bad guy but he's deadly and he's got a temper which makes him the perfect in-flight terrorist-stopper. It's like Passenger 57 only in this case every passenger except for two of them are the bad guys.
I could never get over that mullet and thought it was always an odd choice for Cage, but then I remembered; what isn't an odd choice for Cage?
Top Poe Quotes:
- Put the bunny back in the box.
- They somehow managed to get every creep and freak in the universe onto this one plane.
- What do you think I'm gonna do? I'm gonna save the fuckin' day!
- On any other day that might seem strange…

In his books about cycling, cancer, fame and family and how they have intertwined to make him who he is, Lance Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France winner, delves into fine detail about the roles his top teammates played on his champion Tour teams.
He talks about how the riders on his squads became as close as family and how George Hincapie, his road captain and longtime lieutenant, grew to know him the best.
There have been times when Ive practically lived out of the same suitcase with George Hincapie, Armstrong said in Every Second Counts.
In cycling were on the side of a mountain for weeks, in small hotel rooms, sharing every ache, and pain, and meal. You get to know everything about each other, including things youd rather not.
Those things he and Hincapie learned about each other are now at the center of yet another doping scandal involving Armstrongs Tour-winning teams.
Because Hincapie is considered a credible and reluctant witness, his testimony could be the most damaging evidence against Armstrong, who is accused of doping and playing a key role in a vast doping conspiracy.
According to people with knowledge of the case, Hincapie has told the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency about systemic doping on Armstrongs teams.
There are certain riders who, you know, ooze respect, and George is one of them, said Stuart OGrady, an Australian rider who has raced against Hincapie for more than 20 years. I dont think anyone dislikes George. Hes just an all-around nice guy.
The details of what Hincapie, 39, told antidoping authorities remain a mystery though it could become public if Armstrongs doping case goes to arbitration. Armstrongs lawyers have filed a federal lawsuit to stop the antidoping agencys case from moving forward with punishing him. He faces a lifetime ban from Olympic sports and the loss of his Tour titles.
If Hincapie does testify, his story has the potential to be one of the starkest, most jarring revelations in a sport known for its code of silence regarding doping.
Out of all of Armstrongs teammates, Hincapie is likely to know more about the behind-the-scenes activity on their squads than any other rider: He was the only one to be by Armstrongs side for every one of the Tour victories.
Joe Papp, a former pro cyclist and convicted steroid trafficker-turned-antidoping advocate, said Hincapies word will be unimpeachable and will finally lead people to the point where they dont believe Lance is innocent anymore.
Armstrong, who has denied ever doping, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
At first, Hincapie did not come forward voluntarily to provide information about the doping on Armstrongs teams, said two people involved in the investigation.
He was given a subpoena to testify to the grand jury in the federal investigation of Armstrong for doping-related crimes, an inquiry that lasted two years before closing last February. Instead of testifying before the grand jury, Hincapie cooperated with the inquiry and gave sworn statements.
He then provided evidence about the systematic doping on Armstrongs teams to the antidoping agency, which last month charged Armstrong with doping and playing a key role in the doping scheme.
If Hincapie admitted his own doping while helping uncover the principals in a larger doping plot, he could receive a reduced ban from cycling perhaps six months, or even no ban at all, rather than the usual two-year ban for first-time offenders. If he is asked to testify before an arbitration panel and declines, however, he could face a stiffer punishment.
Because Armstrong has never officially failed a drug test he tested positive at the 1999 Tour for banned cortisone, but later produced a doctors note for it testimony like Hincapies will be crucial to the antidoping agencys case against him and several team officials who are also charged with doping violations.
The agency said it had 10-plus riders whose testimony would bolster its case, but what sets Hincapie apart from some of those other cyclists who have given evidence like Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton, who have admitted to doping and taking part in the doping conspiracy is that Hincapie has yet to admit publicly that he had used performance-enhancing drugs.
Those who know Hincapie say he is likely tormented about his role in the case. They say it goes against everything ingrained in him as a gregario, which, in cycling terms, is a rider who sacrifices himself in the service of the team leader by doing things like sheltering that rider from the wind or protecting him from attacks.
Bob Stapleton, Hincapies former team owner of the HTC-Highroad squad, said it would be a terrible conflict for Hincapie to speak out against a teammate.
Hes a guy who fundamentally wants to do the right things, but he is also fantastically loyal, Stapleton said. But when George talks, people are going to listen. Youre talking about the most liked and most respected American cyclist, maybe ever. We called him Captain America, for all the good reasons.
Hincapies life has had a fairy-tale ring to it. As the son of Colombian immigrants, Hincapie grew up in Queens and was inspired to race bikes because his father, Ricardo, had been a competitive cyclist.
His father, who worked in the cargo department of United Airlines for more than 30 years, never made it big. But George Hincapie went on to become one of the most accomplished riders in U.S. history.
He is a five-time Olympian, a three-time national road champion and is currently riding in a record 17th Tour. As a self-sacrificing worker bee, he has helped three riders Armstrong, Alberto Contador and Cadel Evans win Tour titles.
In a documentary about Hincapie called A Ride With George Hincapie, Armstrong was asked what he considered Hincapies best attribute. Id have to choose loyal, he said. He was loyal to me as a team captain, he was loyal to me as a friend.
Hes probably one of the nicest humans to walk the planet.
In 2002, Hincapie and his brother, Rich, started a now successful cycling apparel company, Hincapie Sportswear. They employ several of their relatives in the companys factory in Colombia. A year later, Hincapie met his future wife, Melanie Simonneau, on the awards podium at the Tour when she worked as a hostess there.
The Tour brought me everything, he said in June when announcing that he would retire this fall.
At this Tour, when Hincapie was asked about Armstrongs doping case, he did not confirm or deny his involvement, simply saying: Im sad he is going through this. Hes done so many things for the sport. His accomplishments are incredible.
Hincapie and Armstrong first met when they were scrawny teenagers headed for the national team. They became teammates on the Motorola squad in the mid-1990s and stayed together on the U.S. Postal Service squad and, finally, on Discovery Channel squad, on which Armstrong won his final Tour, in 2005.
Throughout it all, Armstrong was the frontman and star. Big George Hincapie, at 6 feet 3, 165 pounds, was the ever-present teammate who often paved the way to Armstrongs success.
He was the ultimate setup man. His job was to pull Armstrong through the flats by riding in front of him and then deliver him to the bottom of the mountains, where the teams pure climbers would take over.
Davis Phinney, the first American rider to win a Tour stage, said he remembered seeing Hincapie at the 2004 Tour, leading the Postal Service team up a climb in the Pyrenees. The image of Hincapie at the head of the pack, toiling as sure as a machine, has stayed with him.
When we saw those guys go by, with the speed that they carried and with George out front just giving his all for the good of the team, setting up Lance perfectly for what was a stage victory, it was just so impressive, Phinney said. But that was George. What made people like him even more was that he did it all in the service of someone else.
While the five other Americans on Armstrongs victorious 1999 Tour team eventually left for individual success, Hincapie remained at Lances service.
Id do anything for the guy; hes like a brother to me, Hincapie said in 2009, during a break Armstrong had taken from the sport. Armstrong also has called Hincapie his best bro in the peloton, a guy to whom he spoke at least every other day.
Now, though, Hincapie the only rider mentioned by name on the dedication pages of both of Armstrongs main books says they havent spoken in a while.

This summer, my family traded waves for water slides and lobster for casserole cooked in foil over a campfire.
And, like many other families who decided to "staycation" this year, we gained more than just a little extra cash.
It's not that we wanted to be trendy, or even that we were so concerned about the cost of fueling up the minivan that we were looking to tighten our vacation budget.
No, our decision to staycation came about by accident. We were considering traveling to Hershey Park or visiting friends on Cape Cod when our 4-year-old spotted a water park brochure at a local bank.
On a whim, we kicked off the summer with a weekend camping trip at Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge, about 100 miles away.
We had so much fun that we went back a month later "" abandoning our other plans and clinching our status as staycationers.
The word "staycation" means different things to different people. The term has been around at least since 2005, when comedian Brent Butt used it to describe his Canadian TV sitcom character's "vacation" reading comic books in a field across the street from his gas station.
This year, staycation stories started popping up in the media around Memorial Day, as people began scaling back vacation plans in response to rising gas and food prices. Some news outlets defined the "staycation" as an overnight getaway within the region or state. Others included day trips or time spent relaxing at home.
Retailers such as Wal-Mart and Lowe's did their best to capitalize on the hype, launching "staycation" marketing campaigns for barbecue grills, patio furniture and "outdoor living" accessories ranging from garden fountains to tiki torches.
Staycation become an official buzzword in early July, when Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell announced the launch of "Connecticut "" Your Staycation Destination," a summer program offering discounts for Connecticut residents at more than 300 attractions statewide.

Residents will soon be able to write down their thoughts and opinions on a public chalkboard. The new monument is under construction on the downtown mall, in front of City Hall. It's sponsored by the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression. City Councilman Blake Caravati has been a fan of the wall since it was first suggested back in 1999.
"I trust the citizens of Charlottesville and this country a whole lot, and I'm looking forward to hearing their points of few, be they spoken or be they written, " he said.
The 60-foot long monument is scheduled to be completed this fall.

My stay at the Clark Currier was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The innkeeper and staff were very generous and kind, the room was spectacular, and, as an added bonus, despite a website's error in reporting otherwise, there was ample offstreet parking making the Clark Currier wonderful in every way!

From staff reports
The Meridian Star
Herrington's Syrup Mill will be in operation today for those who love cane syrup, and who appreciate the way things used get done.
Robert Herrington created a tradition of making cane syrup the old fashioned way when he revived the practice in the 1990s, using a horse to grind the sugar cane, a wood-fired furnace and a copper pan to reduce the cane juice to thick, sweet molasses.
The process usually begins about daylight. If all goes as planned the first batch of syrup will be ready about 10 a.m.
Herrington said the history of the operation goes back to the farm of Lewis and Emma Burnett from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s. With new generations the mill was moved, both in the 1940s and the 1950s. Eventually production stopped in the mid-1960s.
"In the early 1990s I realized a dream," Herrington said. "With the advice and knowledge of some of those cherished older mentors the old mill was resurrected."
Herrington's aunt and uncle, Mamie Burnet and Buddy Smith, were essential in helping him get things going again.
"Both of them are now resting after enjoying long lives of hard work, but I feel their presence and the love that helped to make a dream of mine come true," Herrington said. "When we hitch up the horses and light the fire to once again follow the tradition, I am certain that their spirit and those of many others is present."
Herrington shared his Aunt Mamie's recipe for tea cakes using the homemade cane syrup. He found it in his grandmother's recipe box titled and written like this:
Syrup Cookies — Mamie
2 eggs
1 cup syrup
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 tablespoons buttermilk
As much flour as it takes to make stiff enough to drop with spoon and press with a fork.
Want to go?
The Herrington Syrup Mill will be in operation all day today beginning about sunrise with the first batch of cane syrup expected to be ready about 10 a.m. The mill is located at 10740 Road 511 near Union. From Meridian travel north on Highway 19 to the House community. Turn left on Highway 492 toward Union. Go about 2 miles and turn right on Road 511. The mill will be about half a mile on the left. Syrup will be available for tasting and purchase, as well as a biscuit with sausage or bacon for those who come early. For more information call (601) 678-9962 or (601) 678-1366.

It explains what one (meaning 'me') goes through when preparing for a hurricane. It even has a couple pictures I snapped with my camera phone. That post will have to wait because I have some other things to do before I can get to editing it for clarity.
In the meantime, if I fail to update this blog for the next couple of days, you know why.

- Just what I was looking for (Review by jclimb1)
I recently purchased this jacket and was very pleased. I wanted a mid-weight down jacket to serve multiple uses - winter mid-layer, shoulder season outer, stuff in pack in summer, and wear around town. Basically, a do most everything jacket without spending a bunch of cash. This jacket works well for all those. Also, it fits true to size, the pockets are located well and useful (fleece lined hand pockets are great), and the hood fits well. Overall, I am very pleased. My only two suggestions are: maybe a bit of fleece by the chin and 850 fill would be nice (but then it would cost more).

- Very Versatile (Review by Ryan)
I purchased this jacket to be worn in a myriad of temperatures. I frequently wear this jacket on my morning commute when the temp is usually around 40 or so. However, I recently used this jacket during a snow camping trip where the temps. dropped down to about 15. With some simple layering and the implementation of the hood, I was nice and toasty. The slim design of the jacket also allows for it to be worn under a shell without sacrificing too much loft. This is a well designed jacket that works very well in a wide range of temperatures and packs away to nearly nothing when not needed. I highly recommend this jacket.

- Simply the best amount of insulation I've found (Review by t.Bone)
I've found other down jackets can be too much fill at times and some can make you feel as if you need a little more. This is my second season on this jacket and I absolutely love it. Appears brand new with near daily use November-March. I live in higher elevation and commute to Denver daily so I see a good temp swing up and down the mountain which calls for insulation a solid chunk of the year. I've tried other brands and fills of many jackets but truly find this one to be about perfect for what I'm after. When I travel to the frozen tundra of Minnesota (most of the time unwillingly) I always bring this puffy along as it compresses down to a baseball when needed. This is my go-to jacket on most winter days!

- Great Jacket! (Review by flannelfisk)
Winter is coming to the Northwoods and this jacket has kept me extremely comfortable thus far. I love the fit and the feel. Has been a wonderful pillow and evening/morning layer on overnight trips. I get moving, and it gets warm fast.

- Men's Transcendent Hoody (Review by By Levie)
I have used this jacket camping, rock climbing and just for general everyday use during a Kansas winter. I absolutely love the fit of this jacket and how it is slim enough to fit under a soft shell. This jacket will keep you super warm while on belay and easily stuffs into the smallest of areas. This jacket can be a bit drafty during high winds so beware if you do not have a windstopper over it.

- Men's Transcendent Hoody (Review by By hikerchef)
It is perfect for wearing in Minnesota in January... its -20 windchill right now and with a fleece underneath you don't need anything else. It is quite breathable and very comfortable, the hood is awesome, it cinches perfectly around my head and ears. The jacket is ridiculously packable, in fact the way it packs down is perfect for a pillow. It looks sweet and the 650 fill is just fine and it keeps the price down compared to 800 fill. I will continue to buy my gear from OR because it is a great company.

I've been a down sweater fan for years. This is my first OR though. I've had it for about a week and haven't taken it off. I've climbed ice and plastic, layered it under a shell for a cold day in the back-country and worn it as an outer layer at the resort.Hood fits over my climbing helmet nicely and the DWR works like magic. Buy One.

- Men's Transcendent Hoody (Review by By Oregon's warmest)
This jacket is perfect for the in between times when it isn't full blown freezing out but there is a definite chill in the air. With a soft or hard shell layered over top then it becomes a perfect jacket for the gnarly weather that winter might throw at you while trying to climb, ski, or just chilling in your local blizzard. When it comes down to it nothing can beat the feeling of being hugged by a bunch of geese all rolled up into this sweet jacket.

Great light weight warmth for any winter adventure. No reason to leave it at home it's so light and compressible. Awesome for layering on very cold days too.

Crusaders Win Nightcap To Split Doubleheader With Western Illinois
Saturday, May 15, 2004Macomb, Ill. - Keith Keslinke had two hits and two RBIs, and Kevin Kutansky added three hits and an RBI as Valpo defeated Western Illinois 5-4 in the second game of a doubleheader. The Leathernecks won the first game 3-2.
Valpo (16-33, 8-12 Mid-Con) will host Chicago State in twinbills both Friday and Saturday beginning at noon each day. The results of the four-game series could determine whether the Crusaders will qualify for the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament held May 27-29 in Shreveport, La.
In Valpo's victory, Eric Brauer (3-1) pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing three earned runs on nine hits. Chris Riley recorded the final out of the fifth inning and Adam Knobel hurled the final 2 innings for his fourth save.
The Crusaders grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first when Mike Arensdorff doubled and scored on Kutansky's RBI single. Valpo extended its advantage to 3-0 in the fourth on Eddie Hannan's RBI groundout and Ryan Manthei's sacrifice fly.
After WIU scored one in the fourth, Valpo increased the lead to 5-0 in the fifth when Arensdorff singled, Kevin Perri reached on a two-base throwing error by the pitcher and Keslinke hammered a one-out, two-run single.
The Leathernecks pulled within 5-3 with two tallies in the fifth. Blake Schultz's RBI single capped off the two-run frame.
Following a scoresless sixth by both teams, WIU scored once in the bottom of seventh and put the potential-tying and winning runs on third and second, respectively, with two outs. Knobel, who struck out the first two batters in the inning, survived a two-out error by the shortstop by inducing Ryan Schmidgall to fly out to left field.
In the first game, Valpo's Harvey Yergin and WIU's Pat Kohorst nearly matched each other inning-by-inning on the mound. Western Illinois (27-33, 13-11) scored one in the third and added two in the eighth to take a 3-0 lead.
Valpo mounted a rally in the ninth, trimming its deficit to 3-2 on Troy Garrett's two-out, two-run single. Keslinke and Hannan, who both delivered one-out singles, scored on the clutch hit. Kohorst recorded the final out of the contest on a strikeout.
Yergin (2-5) pitched 8 innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits, while fanning two and walking three. Kohorst (7-5) went the distance, yielding two runs on seven hits, while striking out seven and walking three.
Arensdorff and Keslinke finished the doubleheader with three hits each.
Valpo hosts two non-conference games before the big weekend series. The Crusaders entertain Illinois-Chicago on Tuesday beginning at 3 p.m. On Wednesday, Valpo hosts Youngstown State at 3 p.m.

DUNCAN (AP) — Authorities say a worker was seriously injured when he was crushed by a platform at an oil well site in Stephens County.
Authorities say Mickey Pruitt of Velma suffered multiple injuries after the accident Tuesday afternoon. Lawton television KSWO reports that Pruitt is in stable condition at an Oklahoma City hospital.
Sheriff Wayne McKinney says Pruitt was crushed by a work-over platform, a device that's lowered onto a well in need of repair. The sheriff says either a chain or cable failed and the work-over platform fell on top of Pruitt.
Authorities say the platform weighed between 500 and 800 pounds. It took four men to lift the platform off the worker.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will investigate the accident.

I have asthma and have developed an extreme reaction to any and all synthetic fragrances. I already take inhaled steroids, inhalers, and daily oral anti-histamines. If I get around synthetic (not organic) fragrances I start feeling a clogging in my throat. This is followed by tightness and sometimes spasms in the throat, shortness of breath, wheezing and turning blue around my mouth and fingernails. I feel like I'm choking and have had to use both epi-pen and rescue inhaler to reverse this. Treatment now for me is avoidance of public places. The only solution an immunologist and pulmonologist had was to limit my time in public and only go out with carbon filter mask and oxygen in tow for hypoxia. I still have some trouble because the mask does not filter 100%. I have also tried a chemical respirator. My life has become very isolated. Does anyone know of any treatment to de-sensitize a severe fragrance allergic/asthmatic reaction so that I can have a normal life again? Anyone???
Here's what I understand as to how this works. By markedly reducing allergic sensitivity, your respiratory system isn't constantly inflamed by reacting to allergens, which makes you more sensitive to irritants like dust, smoke, perfumes. Thus, once allergy shots take effect, fragrances that used to irritate your respiratory system are no longer as irritating and your lungs can now "ignore" the fragrances.
Another potential solution which I have not tried but is worth discussing with your allergist is Xolair. Some on the board have had good success with that.
Hopefully Sonya and some others who suffer greatly from this will also offer other suggestions to you.
Hope these thoughts help in the meantime. Take care & good luck. Judy
I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I can relate to some extent, but at least I did not go into annaphlaxis. I reacted to organic frangrances as well. Cinnamon is still a big problem for me. I was issulated though.
Judy is right regarding redcing general allergic reactions and inflamation helping to reduce odor reactions as well. So treating other allergist may be helpful. Also, some people find an antihistamine to be helpful even with fragrance reactions.
There is some debate as to wether fragrance reactions are true allergies or non-allergic. Tere is research being done to determine where it actually falls. However, if you suffer with the reactions, does it really matter if it is allergic or non-allergic. If they are found to be allergic, they may be able to test and treat the allergy some day.
For social interaction I did start having different couples over to my house who were very well aware of my situation and were careful to not wear fragrances. That helps reduce the feelings of issolation and I stayed safe as well.
I hope that helps you some.
I would love to talk with you more.
Take care and God bless.
You may also talk to your doctor about trying ipatroprium bromate, and NasalCrom before going out in puplic. They did help me a lot.
The key to me getting control of my asthma was treating AERD (Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratyor Disease). You may want to discus that possibility of you having that with your doctor as well.
There is a doctor developed "Fragrance Oil"for parosmia that my help you if your doctor can find information on it and get a compounding pharmacist to mix it for you. It helped me some, but the AERD so controlled my reactivity that it was limited. It helps more now. I looked for a web article about it, but I couldn't find one just now. I will keep looking for one.
I also used a lidocaine neb for a while which helped my lungs not react so much, but I caused some other problems that I was unwilling to live with.
Just before AERD treatments I was switched from Singulair to Zyflo. I reacted much less with that. It can cause problems with liver ensymes, so expect to be tested before and after starting if Zyflo if you do go on it.
As yo can see, I did go through a lot before finally getting to the bottom of my problems and getting a life back. If you have any questions, please ask.
Take care and
God bless.
Praying for you,
God bless,
Sorry to hear about your troubles, I too have major problems with allergies/asthma and asked about your way of dealing with them at work.
thanks katy
I am interested in the fragrance oil. What is it and how does it work? Did see a vocal specialist becuase I'm a singer but the throat tightening is like an anaphylaxis. I lose my voice every time I have an asthma attack and fragrance triggered attacks don't seem to be any different. This is actually quite common in asthmatics. I'll do some research into AERD and see what I come up with.
I have a background in nursing and worked in various fields for 13 years. When I got so bad I went back to teaching music. I have a fragrance free music studio where I teach voice and piano. It's been good. I don't have to work but if I did I'd have to do phone nursing on answering lines or something like that. For now, I still have such a trouble with fragrances that I cannot be in a public situation. The reaction was so bad last summer that none of my doctors would even allow me to spray some perfume so they could document results. But, being an RN and having worked with them before they trust me.
The problem with the fragrance "allergy" or sensitivity is the more you get exposed, the more likely the sensitivity will worsen. However, there are several employers willing to institute fragrance free policies. Check out Web MD's main home page with their article on fragrances. They have listed a couple law suits where employees were able to force employers to institute fragrance free policies. Good luck. I will also check out your other comments.

Grand Jury petition signature collection continues
Verification process clarified by Dermody
Salesha Wilken
Staff Reporter
Organizers of the Rogers County grand jury petition have three weeks left to collect signatures.
As the deadline approaches, the offices of Rogers County Court Clerk Kim Henry and Rogers County Election Board Secretary Julie Dermody are preparing for the verification and certification of the petition signatures.
Petitioner organizers recently announced on Facebook the effort has resulted in the collection of about 5,000 signatures, none of which have been validated.
Since the petition was filed 372 new voter registrations have been processed by the election board, according to Dermody.
Due to the extent of petition questions and the Rogers County District Attorney and staff being named in the petition, the officials say they have not been able to use Assistant District Attorney David Iski as legal counsel.
The issue is a conflict of interest for Iski, as well as, Dermody and Henry.
As a result, the two offices have been seeking assistance from Attorney General, state election board and neighboring county officials.
As a result of these efforts, Dermody sent a letter dated Aug. 29 to Henry, including petition verification procedures.
Henry posted the procedures online at www.oscn.net in case number GJ-2013-1.
According to the documents, signatures must be registered voters and can be printed or written.
Although the petition has columns for voters to print, sign and list their address, the election board will count a signature, which is placed in the wrong column.
Both active and inactive voters may sign a petition, according to the document.
The instructions clearly instruct the officials to "assume each name is valid" and give the "benefit of the doubt" to the signer.
"Example: if the name on the petition is C.P. Jones and a registration is on file for Charles Paul Jones, the signature should be counted as valid unless it can be proved absolutely that they are not the same person," according to the document.
Signatures listed with partial addresses, no address or the wrong address should be counted, according to the document.
"I encourage people to continue to get out and sign the petition. We have about 20 days remaining and we need everyone to participate," Steve Cox. "Even though we have made great progress, we need to collect more signatures to make sure we can meet the 4,487 signatures required after any challenges."
Cox said the group will be hosting signing drives this weekend at the Inola Hay Days Sept. 20 and 21.
"Every signature counts and we need people to turn in signature pages they have collected." Cox said.
"Every signature is a person's voice and each voice needs to be heard."
Petition headquarters are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and closed on Sunday.

There are 13 more heroes in Chicago's collar communities. None of them is named Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber. Still, they are young. They are impressive.
These 13 young men, ages 11 to 14, were put to the test and they passed. They are Boy Souts. They were prepared. They are most certainly heroes.
It wasn't long ago when an Evanston man was riding his bike along a path in Palos. Out of his element, Andy Matthews, accidentally hit a large rock—with his face.
In shock, Matthews struggled to get to safety. He came upon the New Lenox Boy Scout Troop 44 on a hike. The boys noticed Matthews swerving on his bike, disoriented. They asked if he was OK. After the man answered no, the boys noticed his eye was swolen shut. His shirt was torn, and he was bleeding from the nose and mouth.
Just then, the boys sprung into action. Out came the ice packs and the first aid kit. They helped him sit down, then eventually guided him out to get medical assistance.
"They boys were great," Matthews said. "They were well prepared."
Matthews ended up having 3 plates and 24 screws put in his face. He is expected to have more surgeries still. Even worse than the injuries, though, Matthews said was the shock. Without the boys, he wouldn't have known what to do.
The heroes are named Ken Clarke, Nathan Creech, Kevin Dexheimer, Jake Durkus, T.J. Duraka, Nick Hill, Will Lester, Michael Malloy, Michael McBride, Bobby Pilipchuck, Anthony Rios, Nick Ruskowsky, and Austin Willis.
As parents, it can be challenging to guide our children to selecting true heroes as role models. After all, we never know when our favorite athletes, for example, will turn out to be O.J. Simpson or Michael Vick.
Here are 13 young men who not only talked the talk of the Boy Scout motto. They also walked the walk. When it came time for them to truly step up, they each met the challenge.
In a society where headlines are filled with drugs, violence and hatred, we must celebrate our successes.
It is about character. These young men, thanks to their leaders and parents, have it. I hope my children grow up to be just like them.

Each year the Fishers Diving Regional proves to be one of the toughest in the state and, while down slightly, this season should be no different.
Three of the top-8 scores in the state during the regular season belong to divers competing in Fishers on Tuesday, one season after producing four of the top-5 finishers at the state finals.
"There are several clubs in the area that have divers that dive year-round," Fishers diving coach Kristy Ford said. "These divers are national-caliber divers and they compete at a high level."
Ford also noted Indianapolis is known for its diving tradition, home to the IUPUI Natatorium and numerous Olympic-level divers, including 2012 U.S. Olympic gold medalist David Boudia. Indianapolis-area divers will also be competing at regionals in Plainfield and Bloomington North.
While there is typically a certain level of stress for divers looking to advance, Ford said there appears to be a clear-cut eight divers that should advance, barring unforeseen circumstances. The top eight advance to the state meet, which begins Friday at the IUPUI Natatorium with the preliminaries, and the finals on Saturday.
"In the past it hasn't been like that," Ford said. "There would have been a slight margin separating eighth and ninth."
Ford added that the tough competition typically leads to attempting safer dives, avoiding more difficult selections that could have a higher probability of failure and leading to a drastic score drop in a tightly contested field.
Noblesville's Meme Sharp finished second at the state finals last season and won her school's sectional Saturday with a 486.75, the highest incoming score to the Fishers Regional. It was three points higher than Fishers freshman Cortnee Williams used to win her sectional. Williams beat Sharp at the Hoosier Crossroads Conference meet.
"We'll be looking for Cortnee to improve on a couple of missed dives in the water and we'll hope to get to 500 points," Ford said.
Last season the regional produced state champion Shelby Bartlett of Fishers and runner-up Sharp.

Message from Tom Kilgore
This month, and in these pages, we celebrate TVA's 75th year of service to the people of the Tennessee Valley.
This is a time to reflect on the achievements of our predecessors and honor those who laid the foundation for TVA. Let us be grateful for their leadership and inspired by their example, and let us be humbled by the opportunity to carry on their tradition of commitment as we work to write new chapters in the history of TVA.
Because of what our predecessors achieved, we have the responsibility to do even better. The depth and breadth of talent at TVA is greater than at any time in our history. We are led by a Board with broad knowledge and experience, our management team is focused, and our workforce is among the best in the industry.
These pages capture key points in TVA's remarkable history, and the next chapters are ours to write. Let us take the occasion of TVA's 75th anniversary to renew our own commitment to the ideals for which TVA was created and the enduring mission we serve.
