Miklós Jancsó
film director and screen writer
At the age of 8 he wanted to be a famous magician and humorist. However the more he aged the worse his jokes were and there were only one card trick in his pocket. Luckily, destiny had other plans with him. He shot his first film on one of his birthdays. By today he became very competent in making films and commercials.
Once she met Uma Thurman on a vacation and based on this experience she could have started immediately her carrier, but she didn't. She was waiting for a much bigger oppurtunity which she found at StudingerFilms. As a teammate she is blessed with great taste of style and has complete veto power over our films. She is the grand jury in one person. Maybe it's not a coincidence since by degree she's a lawyer.
He can tell what type of motorbike is around the corner just by the sound of it. He also believes that a real car is rear-wheel-drive and has metal bumper. He has great skills in writing, someday he might be a famous contemporary novelist. He represents the Z generation at StudingerFilms.

Essex Chair
Great little chair
We bought two of these for our sunroom. My husband (5'11") found them really comfortable. I love sitting in them. The leather is not top quality but really feels and looks great. If you want leather on a budget, these are for you. Ikea leather chairs are way more expensive and not comfortable. Love World Market.

Love this chair !
This chair is very comfy and cradles my bottom nicely.
September 10, 2013
Good for the (sale) price.
This was on sale when we picked it up, plus we had a 25% off coupon, so we got it for around half price. For that price point, it's a decent chair. Nothing spectacular. I would not say that this is a good chair for heavy traffic. We have ours sitting in our master bedroom. It's really only used to put on shoes or read occasionally. It looks great and the arms are at a good height, BUT in our opinion the cushion could be more substantial/firm. You sink into it a bit, and it actually gets a little uncomfortable if you're in it for any length of time. To me, this chair is not worth paying full price for! Wait for a good sale or coupon, and it'll be a good deal.

The role of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) is to facilitate the co-operative work of the churches of the Anglican Communion, exchange information between the Provinces and churches, and help to co-ordinate common action. It advises on the organisation and structures of the Communion, and seeks to develop common policies with respect to the world mission of the Church, including ecumenical matters…More
The ACC meets every two or three years and its present policy is to meet in different parts of the world. Since it began there have been fifteen meetings of the Council. The current meeting ACC-15 was held in Auckland New Zealand from 27th October and 7th November 2012.
In his final Presidential address, the Archbishop of Canterbury this evening told the Anglican Communion not to accept second best, but to seek a balance between corrective authority and enabling authority while still doing God�s work.
The Anglican Communion's newest network, the Safe Church Network, has announced it is planning a conference in Africa for 2014 around how to make churches safer for vulnerable people.
Director of the Anglican Alliance, Sally Keeble, told the gathered members of the Anglican Consultative Council today (Tuesday) that the Anglican Alliance existed to strengthen the capacity of the Communion to undertake development, relief and advocacy.
Canon Kenneth Kearon told the ACC15 press conference today that Holy Trinity Cathedral dean the Very Revd Jo Kelly-Moore and Anglicans of New Zealand three tikanga [streams] had given the Anglican Communion members a very warm welcome
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams gave the sermon at today's beautiful opening eucharist for the ACC-15 meeting at Auckland's Holy Trinity Cathedral.
After a rousing Maori welcome to TelstraClear Pacific Events Centre in Manukau, New Zealand, Archbishop Rowan Williams' responded by celebrating thanking his hosts and celebrating the place of the Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia in the Communion's past and present.
"It is your Church, your home, ask for the best of your best of your pastors and teachers" with those words the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams concluded an extraordinary morning of welcome at the TelstraClear Pacific events Centre in Manukau, New Zealand.

FBI files in Cooperstown
You never know what you'll run across when doing baseball research.
While looking through the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library's clipping file for famed pitcher Johnny Vander Meer, what soon appeared was a copy of a 1938 typed letter sent by longtime Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover congratulating the Cincinnati Reds southpaw on his two consecutive no-hitters.
Hoover has been in the news of late thanks to the recently released movie, J. Edgar, starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role and directed by Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood. Hoover was the FBI's chief from its beginnings in 1935 until his death in 1972 at the age of 77.
In the letter, typed on the chief G-Man's letterhead and dated June 17, 1938, Hoover writes, "I did have time to glance at the sports page of one of the Miami papers and read the account of the thrilling no-hit game which you pitched against the Boston Bees, and then when I read of your second no-hit game in five days I simply could not resist dropping you this note to extend you my congratulations on this remarkable feat."
Hoover begins the letter by telling Vander Meer that he's been "engaged in the investigation of the Cash kidnapping case," referring to the kidnapping of 5-year-old James B. Cash Jr., known as "Skeegie," who had been kidnapped from his bed in Princeton, Fla. on May 28, 1938.
Later in the letter Hoover admits that baseball has always been one of his favorite sports and that he attends many games, "although I do not attend as many games as I would like, due to the pressure of my official duties."
In fact, years later, Hoover would be considered for the job of big league baseball's commissioner. After a 1945 speech in which he extolled the virtues of wartime baseball, Hoover's name shot to the top as a possible successor when big league baseball's first commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, passed away in 1944. The job eventually went to Happy Chandler. When Chandler resigned his post in 1951, Hoover's name again was bandied about.
Ellis Ryan, the principal owner of the Cleveland Indians and a member of baseball's screening committee in search of a replacement for Chandler, said in a 1951 interview, "For instance, if J. Edgar Hoover decided to run, I'm sure he would get every vote. But that is out of the question. It would be improper for baseball to attempt to take so valuable a man away from the government."
After sharing with Vander Meer the recent success of the FBI's baseball team in Washington, D.C., Hoover ends the letter by wishing the hurler luck in the future, adding, "I really would be thrilled to see you pitch a third no-hit game this season."
Hoover, once on the Little League board of directors, said that baseball would be the greatest deterrent to crime that America had ever seen. "Keep kids in sports," his motto went, "and out of courts."

Law enforcement has learned from terrible lessons of the day
Friday, April 12, 2013
DOVER — In the months since a drug raid in Greenland ended in tragedy, law enforcement officers throughout the state have been analyzing the event to draw lessons that could help reduce the potential for violence in the future.
An independent commission reviewed the shootings and determined there were deficiencies in the planning and execution of the operation. The commission also raised concerns about the management and supervision of the Drug Task Force, which was operating without "clear and unambiguous lines of authority and responsibility," according to the commission.
Attorney General Michael Delaney accepted all findings of the Greenland Incident Review Commission's report in December. That process included adopting a new policy on Dec. 3 regarding warrants. It dictates that if DTF members are seeking a so-called "no-knock" search warrant — giving them permission to enter a suspect's home unannounced — then a tactical team must be called in. Additionally, any request to pursue an arrest or search warrant must now be authorized by the DTF commander or a designee.
Before operations are executed, DTF team leaders must now forward copies of risk assessment information and draft warrants to the commander or his or her designee for review.
"All of the DTF policies are being reviewed and updated when necessary," she said. "If we see a policy that we don't have, we are creating policies."
Dover police are exploring alternatives to forcing their way into a suspect's home, such as surrounding the building with a tactical team and waiting for a suspect to emerge. Another option is placing a surveillance team at the target's residence and waiting for them to leave the building. |

I love working with adult students. When you know how long and hard they have worked and sacrificed to accomplish their educational goal, it is hard not to cheer them on. Education should be accessible for everyone; but adults often feel that they have "missed the boat" somehow by not going the traditional route to college. Creating an environment where returning to school is not a hurdle for these student is very important to me. With all that working adults have going on in their lives, making the decision to return to school should be the hard part, not actually attending.

Ankle Sprain
- Home
- Health Information
- Ankle Sprain
Sprained Ankle |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
- Falling
Sudden twisting of the ankle, such as:
- Stepping on an uneven surface or in a hole
- Taking an awkward step when running, jumping, or stepping up or down
- Having your ankle roll over when playing sports or exercising—called inversion of the foot
Risk Factors
- Playing sports, especially with the wrong type of shoe
- Walking on uneven surfaces
- Weak ankles from a previous sprain
- Poor coordination
- Poor balance
- Poor muscle strength and tight ligaments
- Loose joints
- Certain footwear, such as high heels
- Pain, swelling, and bruising around the ankle
- Worsening of pain when walking, standing, pressing on the sore area, or moving the ankle inward
- An inability to move the ankle joint without pain
- A popping or tearing sound at the time of the injury
- Inability to move the ankle without significant pain
- Inability to put any weight on that foot
- Significant swelling or bruising
- Pain over a bony part of your foot or ankle
- Pain that interferes significantly with walking
- Pain not relieved by ice, pain relief medication, and elevation
- Numbness in the leg, foot, or ankle
- Pain that does not improve in 5-7 days
- Uncertainty about the severity of the injury
- Uncertainty about how to care for this injury
Grade 1
- Some minor tearing of ligament tissue
- Ankle remains stable
Grade 2
- Partial tearing of ligament tissue
- Mild instability of the joint
- Usually involves damage to 2 ankle ligaments
Grade 3
- Complete tearing of 2 or 3 of the ligaments
- Significant instability of the joint
- Protection—You may need to wear a brace or walking boot to prevent your ankle from moving. In many cases, a brace, which stabilizes and compresses the ankle, will allow for early weight bearing and an earlier return to activity. You will be rehabilitating the ankle as it heals. If you play sports, you may need to wear an ankle brace or tape your ankle when you return to play.
- Rest—Avoid putting any pressure on your ankle by not walking on it. Using crutches will let you bear partial weight. This is allowed early on, except when all three ligaments are torn.
- Ice—Apply ice or a cold pack to the ankle for 15-20 minutes, 4 times a day for at least 2-3 days. This helps reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin.
- Compression—Wrap your ankle in an elastic compression bandage. Wrap from the toes going up toward the knee. This will limit swelling of your ankle and foot.
- Elevation—Keep your ankle raised above the level of your heart as much as you can for 48 hours. This will help drain fluid and reduce swelling.
- Oral pain medication, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, aspirin or topical pain medications, such as creams and patches that are applied to the skin
- Rehabilitation exercises—Begin exercises to restore flexibility, balance, range of motion, and strength of the muscles around your ankle as recommended by your doctor. You may benefit from working with a physical therapist that can teach you the exercises and make sure that you are performing them correctly.
- Leg cast—If you have a severe sprain, your doctor may recommend a short leg cast for 2-3 weeks, but this is very rare. In many cases, there are special braces that can be used instead of a cast.
- Surgery—Surgery is rarely needed to repair an ankle sprain. However, it may be necessary to repair a third degree sprain in which all 3 ligaments are torn.
- Take a break from sports or exercise when you feel tired.
- Do exercises that improve your balance and strengthen leg and foot muscles.
- Learn the proper technique for exercise and sporting activities. This will decrease stress on all your muscles, ligaments, and tendons, including those around your ankle.
- If you have injured your ankle before, you are more likely to injure it again. You may reduce your risk of repeated sprains by wearing an ankle brace.
- Wear appropriate footwear when playing sports to avoid injury.

Ivory Jute Striped Sahaj Curtains
Beautiful curtains!
I love these curtains! They are very pretty hanging in the room without being too attention-drawing. They add a nice natural feel.
July 27, 2013
Exceeds Expectations!
I ordered 4 of these curtains online after looking at one in store (the store did not stock the 95" length). World Market not only gave me a link to track the status of my order, but also kept me updated of its progress via email. The package arrived exactly when promised, and after a light pressing were incredibly easy to hang up. They work beautifully with the sea-shell themed duvet set from a very high end company to give an airy, casual but sophisticated 'tropical beach' ambiance. I'm definitely putting World Market on my "go-to" list for decor possibilities!
July 12, 2013
The Perfect Sheer
i have two enormous picture windows at the front of my house and needed a quick and inexpensive way to stop my new neighbors from peeking at us. I grabbed 6 of these curtains from my local store and they look amazing!! In my front room I paired them with the Jaya aqua melange curtain, and in my den paired them with Emma Floral curtains.
They add the right amount of sheer, natural light with a subtle texture and pattern that fits, literally, any decor. In my front room with white walls they do not appear dingy, and in my den with wood paneling they take on a natural tone that suits the wood.
They add a good amount of privacy without blocking all the light. My neighbors have asked where I purchased them!
They're perfect! I am purchasing back ups for when my cats destroy them!
July 2, 2013
100% Satisfied
Wow. I can't say enough about these curtains.
First of all, somehow they came out of the package needing zero ironing.
I bought four panels to stretch across sliding glass doors and the stripes on the panels match up perfectly.
As others have said, they are quite sheer.
I shopped around a lot before I purchased these curtains and they are an outstanding value.
I'm ordering more right now in anticipation that my kittens will soon add them to their climbing agenda.
June 10, 2013
Love these soo much!
The picture doesn't give these beauties justice- They are actually sheer (not solid like the photo makes them look) and absolutely gorgeous. I ordered 6 panels to go in my new photography studio and so excited to get them up!
May 13, 2013
I bought these curtains for my child's room and ended up buying more for both my dining and living room. They are so lovely! While they do give us privacy, they also allow some light to shine through and are very natural and organic looking. I love these so much, I'm thinking of putting them in our mastroom bedroom as well... :)
May 6, 2013
A nice touch
I agree that these are far more beautiful than the picture shows. They're very sheer. The jute fiber is woven into the sheer curtain which adds a little texture, and a little character, as the stripes are somewhat imperfect. I had been looking at other "faux linen" curtains and these look and feel better than the others I've tried. I ordered the 84" and it hangs lower than the other 84" curtains I've bought.
April 19, 2013
Love these curtains!
I bought some and then went back and bought some more. They are prettier than in the photo and so organic!

Easygoing Jack
You like a guy who's popular and totally liked by students and parents alike. No wonder you matched up with Jack. You two would have so much fun together, going to concerts and to the movies, but something might always be missing. When it comes to the messy times in life, a guy like Jack isn't always willing to take the time to ask you what's on your mind. He may be a good guy, but he may not be mature enough for a real relationship.

661 Evo Glove
Glove looks nice. Got them to replace my old and beat up 661 Gracias. Cheap quality. Velcro on one of the gloves didn't hold because the hooks on the hook side didn't have any actual hooks to catch onto the loops side--replaced it with the velcro from my old 661 gloves. Seam on one glove in between the thumb and forefinger is already coming open after only a handful of rides. Too bad, really. I love 661 products, but this is probably the last pair of 661 gloves I'll buy.
I purchased these gloves to replace an older pair of 661 gloves that I have used for the last few years that I absolutely loved. When I ordered these I selected the same size, but was surprised when they arrived at how tight they were on me - granted my old ones had been worn in and stretched to my hand, but these were so tight I could barely get my hand in them and make a fist. On first use I found the pull strap to be too small (it looks much bigger in the pictures), and one of my gloves had the velcro separate from the rubber with less than an hour of use. Pricepoint service was awesome and replaced the defective gloves with a larger size. Additional things to point out: - Knuckle guard is rubber, and works great for small stuff, but don't expect too much - Blue spandex in the finger joints looks cool when flexed - Rubberized Index Finder tip allows me to use my smartphone with the gloves on! - Thumb area is made of material to absorb sweat

quote:Yeah, I would question a gay man without a son who wanted to be involved in BSA, but only as much as I'd question a straight guy with no daughter who wanted to be involved the the girl scouts.
quote:Sadly NOTHING.
quote:And you said your only problem was that sandusky types would be more easily allowed in, which you just admitted was false.
quote:All I'm saying is it happens. There are tons of court cases to prove it happens but if you think that openly allowing it wont increase the chances then you are kidding yourself.
quote:The Catholic Church sex scandal did have an impact on attendance and support, but it's not the only reason, and probably not thge biggest. First of all, the decline in attendance is not as great as you assume, but that's another story. Secondly, the incidence of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church was not greater than the general population or that of other churches. That's a fact.
quote:Separation of church and state is typical liberal bull shit, peddled by snake oil salesmen pandering to a niche.
quote:I think the dirty little secret that a lot of Catholic families try to sweep their gays under the rug by sending them off to seminary school or the convent, has resulted and will continue to result in the abuse scandals we see today.
quote:quote:The real question is why did schools kick Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops out 10 years ago? quote:One of the last large youth organizations that promotes conservative values and christian ethics. You answered your own question.... Fairy tales and ghost stories have no place in a place of education. If you want christian ethics for your kid, send 'em to Sunday school. If the boy scouts are promoting as much jebus and gawd as they are promoting how to tie a knot and start a fire with sticks, then they don't belong. But then again, I'm one of those athiests who got to participate in non-religious organizations that met on school grounds. So I never joined the scouts.
quote:I suspect gays and lesbians can make that choice on thier own without the encouragement of their families.
quote: You do know that Sandusky was married and a closet pedo, right?
quote:Thoughts On Boy Scouts Changing Stance Relative to Homosexuals?
quote:Boy and Girl Scouts are separate for a reason; they aren't about sexuality. Allowing homosexuals in the Scouts basically introduces a sexual aspect that is outside the scope of mission of the Scouts.
quote: You are still missing the point. Pedos are Pedos. Gays are gays. They are two totally different things.
quote:yes individually they are but we are talking about gay pedofiles in the Boy Scouts.
quote:I would not have participated in it if an openly gay Scout or leader was in my troop.
quote:So you were a homophobe at an early age.

quote:Guilty of what? I'm not the one on here that has such a problem handling a point of view that doesn't conform with the norm.
quote: The problem is that when pressed on your views you can't back them up with any legitimacy.
quote:I'll admit I didn't read most posts in this thread because I could tell where it was going pretty quickly. But if it was anything like the Arsenal bandwagon discussion from the other day then my point stands.
quote:I mean in the Arsenal thing I linked and cited stats
quote:I mean in the Arsenal thing I linked and cited stats that showed ManU was more successful than Arsenal during that period. If you disagree that's fine, that's what discussion is all about. I think the respective trophy cases are enough to give my feelings on the subject a basic level of "legitimacy". I mean I wasn't in there just making shite up.
quote: No but it seemed you were just arguing just to argue at that point. I clearly demonstrated that over a 6-7 year period (one in which most people on this board were getting into Euro soccer) Arsenal was 1b. in England and probably one of the top 4-5 teams in Europe. Which makes it totally unreasonable to act like Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd. etc... fans are bandwagon but Arsenal fans are somehow exempt.
quote:You criticize almost every fanbase on here with the exception of Arsenal
quote: none of the clubs, outside of Chelsea after winning the CL last year, have achieved the same level of success Arsenal did from the late 90s-2005
quote: I disagree and it's also not entirely just about what the clubs have done on the pitch.
quote:So why do you credit some teams (Arsenal) for "doing it the right way" but have such a problem with United and their fans?
quote:I think we really need to drop the bandwagon thing. All of us (or at least 9/10) of us were born in America, when we started watching soccer not everyone was illegal stream savvy, the good teams are on TV.
quote: Get the frick over it, move on.

you are here: Fighting for disaster victims
The Wilson County Salvation Army is raising awareness and funds for flood victims still unable to return home.
See story in Lebanon Democrat below
Channel 5 news story on July 22 with Marcus Washington reporting
A Family, a City, A county still in needArticle in Lebanon Democrat July 21,2010
The May floods are just a memory to many. But to Doreen and her husband Joe, whose home is on the edge of caving in, each day is a prayer for survival and safety. The Salvation Army has recently been made aware of this need, and with the help of Wilson County residents, hopes that a special fund called: "Rebuild Wilson County" will help this family and others get back into their homes. We hope that the following letter written by Doreen Reynolds of Watertown will inspire all who read it to help others who are still suffering.
Letter from Doreen Reynolds of Watertown:
" On May first, my husband and I became victims, like so many other families, suffering from the historic flood that ravaged the middle TN area. Around 12:30 on a rainy afternoon, I instinctively went to our basement and discovered over 3 inches of water and phoned my husband, Joe, who was working in Lebanon. I asked him to come home immediately because he had saws and other tools plugged in with extension cords in the basement.
Upon his arrival home, we both went into the basement and started unplugging all the equipment as I was afraid of being electrocuted (by the grace of God we weren't). My husband went back outside to try to dig a trench to detour the water to avoid further flood damage. I returned upstairs and within ten minutes, I felt the house shaking, and I felt our log home creaking and then a huge crashing noise. My first thought and fear was a tornado touching down and destroying our home. I made a dash to the basement for protection and discovered that the basement wall on the back of our home had caved in. I saw daylight, rain, mud and rubble. It was shocking and overwhelming.
Needless to say, I was in a panic, with adrenaline rushing through my body, because I didn't know where my husband was. I raced outside to find him. I was afraid he might be underneath the pile of concrete blocks and dirt. I was horrified because the whole house had shifted and I couldn't open the back door. The back of the house was like a big mudslide or sinkhole.
I ran out the front door screaming for my husband and when I found him, safe and unharmed, it was the happiest moment our 18 years of marriage. My next thought and fear, was getting our pets out of the house. I was so afraid the entire house was going to collapse and kill our beloved dogs, Katie, Treasure, Gypsy and Rocky who are like children to us along with Punkin, our pet Pot-Belly pig who stayed in the laundry room. After a lot of prayer and patience, we finally got all of the pets out of the house.
May 1, 2010 is a day I will never forget, but I also thank the good Lord that we are still here to talk about it. Our guardian angels were protecting us and we know if we were in the basement ten minutes later, we would both have been killed or badly injured. Each day is a blessing from God, even though we have had many stressful and disappointing days since May first.
Needless to say, our insurance company denied our claim and we received less than half of what we need to repair the damage from FEMA. Like a lot of other flood victims, we were denied by the SBA for a loan, and also denied our appeal by FEMA. We have received no response from our mortgage holder (Bank of America) for a Natural Disaster Relief Retention. To add to our stress, we have also received a foreclosure notice from Bank of America. I held up paying our mortgage, hoping that this might get them to respond to my application for assistance. I have been hours on the phone, being put on hold, and transferred from customer service rep to another, and even being transferred to a CSR in India. I have never been so frustrated in my entire life. I spent two hours at our local Bank of America, and still we have no answer about our application for disaster relief, but we have been assured that foreclosure will be held off.
I know, by now, the flood of May first is old news for Wilson County residents, but to me, it is a daily challenge. My poor husband, who is self employed, has had to turn down work in order to continue the debris clean up inside the basement. He is trying to brace up the house by himself to save money. We have not asked for volunteers to help due to the danger and the risk of the house collapsing on them. We would not want anyone injured here and I pray each time he goes into the basement to work.
We presently live in a small camper behind the house. We could not move to another place with 4 dogs and one pot belly pig. I pray we will be back into our home before winter because our water to the camper is coming in with a hose and I am afraid it will freeze. The $185.00 rental fee for this camper is far less than a local motel or house.
Through all of this I am still so thankful for our health and safety and the numbers of people who have tried to help us. We want to thank the American Red Cross for supplies from the relief store and a debit card for food. Also, our thanks to the Help Center for help with utilities and a months rent for this camper. A special thanks to Sara Patton who helped us access Red Cross funds and told our story to Mr. Charles Taylor who donated us the use of a port-a-potty. Our church, family members, and friends have blessed us with monetary donations and have given us the spiritual and moral support that have carried us this far.
We are still struggling, and I am sure others in Wilson County are too. We would appreciate your prayers for a miracle! I am thankful for our camper, but I still would like to be back in our house..."
The Salvation Army of Wilson County will designate one thousand dollars towards this "Rebuild Wilson County Fund" to help Doreen and Joe get back into their log cabin before winter. In these hard times, if you are able to help this family, please send your tax deductible gifts to The Salvation Army PO Box 835, Lebanon, TN. 37088. Please designate your gift "Rebuild Wilson County". All donations will go directly to the Reynolds family. If there is a surplus, other donations will be used to help other flood victims. We thank the Lebanon Democrat for printing this story and we hope to update readers with photos of a finished basement and a happy family home for Thanksgiving! Please call Marie Wulfing at 579-2457 with any questions or updates. Please look for our booth and fund raising bucket at the Wilson County Fair in August.

Should I see a physical therapist after cancer surgery to prevent lymphedema?
Andrea Richtel-Branas, MSE, MPT, Lead Therapist, Good Shepherd Penn Partners, responds:
A physical therapist can help to educate you on your risk for lymphedema. At this time we do not know how to prevent lymphedema - but we do know ways to minimize your risk. You should talk to your doctor about getting a referral to a qualified lymphedema threrapist.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. See full archive of IntegrativeTherapies in Cancer Care.
Mar 6, 2015 - Within two years after breast cancer treatment, a significant number of patients develop lymphedema, resulting in a greater risk of complications and increased treatment costs, according to a study published online March 16 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Customer Reviews for Energy Efficient Kids Room Blindsgalore
"same as Hunter Douglas"
By customer from MN
Plan on ordering many more. We installed top down bottom up double cell blinds.... Wish I would have found this site prior to ordering from a local store!
View this product"Very happy with shades"
By Marge from Sea Girt, NJ
I have ordered shades not only for my bathroom, but for my family room as well. I was not only impressed with the quality of the blinds, but they were so easy to install. Literally, I just popped up the brackets and snapped in the shades. My teenage boys even remarked how nice they were (and they never notice anything).

She Writes
Confidence. Women. Hairstyles.
Though we might be a little voice in a very loud world here at NuMe Blog, we are ok with that. We continue to wrestle with thoughts and ideas, and have come to realize that there is very little black and white in this life, for as quickly as you come to believe in something, change is always there to remind you that it's a journey.
Our world is a pretty crazy place, so what, that just means we scream a little louder. It is our goal to empower girls to dream bigger, to challenge the status quo, and to never be afraid of who they are.
We jab back and forth on both big and small issues, opinions, and thoughts. From beauty advice to deeper social issues, we'll talk about whatever happens to be on our minds. We aren't afraid of making mistakes, but rather missing out on the learning that happens when we do.
Though we know we can't promise change, it doesn't mean we won't keep trying. We can't guarantee all the answers, but rather a place where the discussion happens. It's our hope to ask difficult questions, to move the conversation forward, to figure out what it means to be a socially conscious female empowered beauty brand, as contradictory as it may sound.
This world is at times both messy and difficult to translate, smeared with love and happiness into one giant ball of curiosity.
Topics will be tossed and words will never stop, it is our passion to have a voice in this ever-changing conversation. We believe that when you stop challenging yourself, or when you stop talking about the things that matter, you stop growing. In our eyes there's no travesty worse than not trying.

Coccidioides complement fixation is a blood test that looks for antibodies to the fungus Coccidioides immitis. This fungus causes the disease coccidioidomycosis .
Coccidioides antibody test
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
The blood sample is sent to a lab. The health care provider looks at the clear liquid part of the blood, called serum, to see if there are antibodies to Coccidioides immitis.
There is no special preparation for the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is used to detect infection with the fungus that causes coccidioidomycosis. This condition can cause lung or widespread (disseminated) infection.
A normal result means no Coccidioides immitis antibodies are detected in the blood sample.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results mean that Coccidioides immitis antibodies are present. This can mean that you have a current or recent infection.
The test may be repeated after several weeks to detect a rise in titer (antibody concentration), which confirms an active infection.
In general, the worse the infection, the higher the titer, except in people with a weakened immune system.
There can be false positive tests in patients with other fungal diseases such as histoplasmosis and blastomycosis , and false negative tests in people with single lung masses from coccidioidomycosis.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Prostate cancer is less common in people who do not eat meat (vegetarians).
A common problem in almost all men as they grow older is an enlarged prostate . This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. It does not raise your risk of prostate cancer. But it can increase your prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test result.
With early prostate cancer, there are often no symptoms.
The PSA blood test may done to screen men for prostate cancer. Often, PSA level rises before there are any symptoms.
The symptoms listed below can occur with prostate cancer as it grows larger in the prostate. These symptoms can also be caused by other prostate problems:
When the cancer has spread, there may be bone pain or tenderness, most often in the lower back and pelvic bones.
An abnormal digital rectal exam may be the only sign of prostate cancer.
A biopsy is needed to tell if you have prostate cancer. A biopsy is a procedure to remove a sample of tissue from the prostate. The sample is sent to a lab for examination. It will be done in your doctor's office.
Your doctor may recommend a biopsy if:
The biopsy result is reported using what is called a Gleason grade and a Gleason score.
The Gleason grade tells you how fast the cancer might spread. It grades tumors on a scale of 1 through 5. You may have different grades of cancer in one biopsy sample. The two most common grades are added together. This gives you the Gleason score. The higher your Gleason score, the more likely the cancer can spread beyond the prostate:
The following tests may be done to determine whether the cancer has spread:
The PSA blood test will also be used to monitor your cancer after treatment.
Treatment depends on many things, including your Gleason score and your overall health. Your doctor will discuss your treatment options.
If the cancer has not spread outside the prostate gland, common treatments include:
If you are older, your doctor may recommend simply monitoring the cancer with PSA tests and biopsies.
If the prostate cancer has spread, treatment may include hormone therapy (medicines to reduce testosterone levels). It may be used for all but the earliest stage of prostate cancer. It may be given before, along with, or after other treatments.
If prostate cancer spreads even after hormone therapy, surgery, or radiation has been tried, treatment may include:
Surgery, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy can affect your sexual performance. Problems with urine control are possible after surgery and radiation therapy. Discuss your concerns with your health care provider.
After treatment for prostate cancer, you will be closely watched to make sure the cancer does not spread. This involves routine checkups, including PSA blood tests (usually every 3 months to 1 year).
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a prostate cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
How well you do depends on whether the cancer has spread outside the prostate gland and how abnormal the cancer cells are (the Gleason score) when you are diagnosed.
A cure is possible if the cancer has not spread. Hormone treatment can improve survival, even if a cure is not possible.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of PSA screening with your health care provider.
Talk with your health care provider about possible ways to lower your risk of prostate cancer. These may include lifestyle measures, such as diet and exercise.
Taking extra vitamin E has not been found to reduce the risk of prostate cancer and may increase the risk. Talk with your doctor before taking larger doses of this vitamin.
There are no medicines approved by the FDA for preventing prostate cancer.

Neuralgia is a sharp, shocking pain that follows the path of a nerve and is due to irritation or damage to the nerve.
Common neuralgias include:
Nerve pain; Painful neuropathy; Neuropathic pain
Causes of neuralgia include:
In many cases, the cause is unknown.
Postherpetic neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia are the two most common forms of neuralgia. A related but less common neuralgia affects the glossopharyngeal nerve, which provides feeling to the throat.
Neuralgia is more common in elderly people, but it may occur at any age.
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
The exam may show:
You may also need to see a dentist if the pain is in your face or jaw. A dental exam can rule out dental disorders that may cause facial pain (such as a tooth abscess ).
Other symptoms (such as redness or swelling) may help rule out conditions such as infections, bone fractures, or rheumatoid arthritis .
There are no specific tests for neuralgia, but the following tests may be done to find the cause of the pain:
Your doctor will:
Treatment varies depending on many things, including the cause, location, and severity of the pain.
Strict control of blood sugar may speed recovery in people with diabetes who develop neuralgia.
Medications to control pain may include:
Other treatments may include:
Unfortunately, these procedures may not improve symptoms and can cause loss of feeling or abnormal sensations.
When other treatment methods fail, doctors may try nerve or spinal cord stimulation, or more rarely a procedure called motor cortex stimulation (MCS). An electrode is placed over part of nerve, spinal cord, or brain and is hooked to a pulse generator under the skin. This changes how your nerves signal and may reduce pain.
Most neuralgias are not life threatening and are not signs of other life-threatening disorders. However, pain can be severe. For severe pain that does not improve, see a pain specialist so that you can explore all treatment options.
Most neuralgias will respond to treatment. Attacks of pain usually come and go. However, attacks may become more frequent in some patients as they get older.
Sometimes, the condition may improve on its own or disappear with time, even when the cause is not found.
Contact your health care provider if:
Treating related disorders such as diabetes and renal insufficiency may prevent some neuralgias. Strict control of blood sugar may prevent nerve damage in people with diabetes. In the case of shingles, there is some evidence that antiviral drugs and a herpes zoster virus vaccine can prevent neuralgia.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help monitor your blood sugar levels over time if you have diabetes mellitus, especially if it is not possible to monitor your diabetes using the A1C test; to help determine the effectiveness of changes to your diabetic treatment plan that might include changes in diet, exercise or medications
When to Get Tested?
When you are diabetic and your doctor wants to evaluate your average blood glucose level over the last 2-3 weeks
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or sometimes from a fingerstick
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Fructosamine is a compound that is formed when glucose combines with protein. The fructosamine test is a measurement of this glycated protein. When glucose levels in the blood are elevated over a period of time, glucose molecules permanently combine with proteins in the blood in a process called glycation. Affected proteins include albumin, the principal protein in the blood, other serum proteins, and hemoglobin, the major protein found inside red blood cells (RBCs). The more glucose that is present in the blood, the greater the amount of glycated proteins that are formed. These combined molecules persist for the life of the protein or RBC and provide a record of the average amount of glucose that has been present in the blood over that time period.
Since RBCs live for about 120 days, glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1C) represents a measurement of the average blood glucose level over the past 2 to 3 months. Serum proteins have a shorter lifespan, about 14 to 21 days, so glycated proteins, and the fructosamine test, reflect average glucose levels over a 2 to 3 week time period.
Keeping blood glucose levels as close as possible to normal helps those with diabetes to avoid many of the complications and progressive damage associated with elevated glucose levels. Good diabetic control is achieved and maintained by daily (or even more frequent) self-monitoring of glucose levels in insulin-treated diabetics and by occasional monitoring of the effectiveness of treatment using either a fructosamine or A1C test.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or from a fingerstick.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

From High School to Off-Broadway to CPTV, Voices in Conflict Airs on Monday, November 10 at 9 p.m.
HARTFORD, Conn. (October 10, 2008) – Drawn frominterviews, letters and essays written by Iraqi civilians and American soldiersserving in Iraq, Voices in Conflict startedas a Wilton High School drama project, landed onoff-Broadway and will now be broadcast on CPTV on Monday, November 10 at 9 p.m.In addition, the show will air again on Sunday, November 16 at 6 p.m.
When Bonnie Dickinson and her drama students at Wilton High School in Connecticut began working on the Voices in Conflictscript, she had no idea that it would stir up controversy. After the school received a complaint from a parent, who thought the play was anti-military, the principal deemed the play "educationally inappropriate," and the performancewas canceled. The story subsequently appeared in the New York Times, and precipitateda media firestorm that launchedthe play and Wiltoninto the national spotlight.
"We were amazed to findourselves at the center of a censorship debate but suddenly we began receiving supportive messages,including some from soldiers currently serving in Iraq,"said Dickinson.
Toher great surprise Dickinson also receivedseveral invitations to perform the play in New York. By the end of its run in July, the 16 young actors, between the ages of 14and 18, had performed the play at the Vineyard Theatre, CultureProject and the Public Theater, all venerable off-Broadway venues in New York, and at Fairfield Theatre Company in Fairfield, Connecticut.
JayWhitsett, CPTV vice president and station manager, saw the value in broadcasting the play, and approached the group about airing the production to be broadcast on CPTV.
"When you see something this dynamic and rich, and the youthof the state are involved, you want to showcase their abilities," Whitsett said.
Theyoung cast traveled to Hartfordfor filming in CPTV's high-definition Chase Family Studio.
TaylorTelyan, 19, now a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, returnedto reprise her role as a Muslim woman in the production. According to her, itis important to bring the play to television because the students receivedsupport from people all over the world, but not everyone got a chance to seethe production.
The Music Theatre Internationalawarded Dickinson and her students a "Couragein Theatre Award" for Voices inConflict the first such honoring in the organization's history. Dickinson also became the official "2007 Honoree"of the National Coalition Against Censorship and thewinner of the ConnecticutCenter for FirstAmendment Rights 2007 "Freedom Award."
"I've been teaching theatre and directing in the Wilton SchoolSchool District for over15 years, and the past year has got to be one of the most rewarding of mycareer on so many levels," said Dickenson. "We have all learned a lot aboutwhat arts education is all about."
Voices in Conflict is part of CPTV's Local Lens – Producers of the Futureinitiative. The initiative is anincubator for emerging independent producers and production companies, as wellas seasoned professionals with fresh ideas for new 21st centurycontent. As part of the Local Lens project, CPTV will select a limited number of up-and-comingproducers to be "Local Lens Producers in Residence," and provide them withmentoring, training and an opportunity to see their work come alive on CPTV. If you have an originalstory, a fresh idea or are interested in funding new projects, visit www.cptv.org/LocalLens.
The Local Lens initiative is made possible with funding fromthe Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism. Funding for this episode comes from Edwardand Catherine Romer, Maryellen and Dave Basile, John and Ellen Levinson,Frances K. Dibner and the Christine E. Moser Foundation.
