What is the fear of heights?
The medical definition for the fear of heights is "acrophobia." So what exactly is acrophobia? It is an abnormal and persistent fear of heights. The word "acrophobia" is derived from the Greek words "acron" (height) and "phobos" (fear). Acrophobia, the fear of heights, is a natural fear. To a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with having a fear of heights. It is a healthy God given defense against doing things like walking off a cliff. The problem is when the natural healthy instinct becomes a morbid (unsound or even paranoia) fear. This type of unhealthy fear, acrophobia, is usually overwhelming and debilitating (it will freeze you in your tracks). If you suffer from a fear of heights, don't think that you are alone. Thousands of people suffer from acrophobia including some famous people such as Isaac Asimov, John Madden, Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, and Whoopi Goldberg. I receive many emails from people who share their experiences with me. Many people really identify with the main character of my book (see link below for more information)
Symptoms of the fear of heights:
Many people with the fear of heights experience breathlessness, dizziness, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, feeling sick, shaking, heart palpitations, and the inability to speak or think clearly. Other symptoms of acrophobia also include a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or even a full blown anxiety attack.
What causes the fear of heights?
Many psychologists think that the fear of heights enters your life at some point in your past. There was probably an event that happened to you that linked heights or high levels with some type of emotional trauma. They think that the original event may have been a real-life scare of some kind that you no longer consciously remember. They think the condition can also be triggered by multiple events like seeing something in movies, TV, or perhaps even seeing someone else experience trauma involving heights.
There are several "cures" for overcoming acrophobia:
• drugs
• hypnosis
• positive thinking
• gradual desensitisation
Drugs do not cure acrophobia. They simply temporarily suppress the symptoms using chemicals. The side effects of the drugs may be worse than a fear of heights. Never take drugs without a doctor's perscription and be sure you know exactly what the drug will do to your body.
Hypnosis also does not cure acrophobia. It also suppresses the symptoms but instead of using chemicals you're allowing someone to temporarily control your mind.
In my book "The Seagull Who Was Afraid To Fly" I used the gradual desensitivitation method to cure the seagull's fear of heights. How does this method work?
• You have to go to an area where you experience the fear of heights (this can be something as simple as a high dive board at a pool). Starting quite far back from the edge (where you feel no fear) slowly start walking toward the edge. Stop walking as soon as you feel any fear. Pay attention to what you are feeling and make yourself aware of those feelings. Don't run away from what you're feeling at this point and don't deny or pretend that those feelings are not there. Don't go any farther towards the edge, just stay where you are. Don't give up on your desire to get over your fear of heights. Accept the fact that you don't have to do it right now. You can choose not to go any closer to the edge at this point in time.
• The next time you repeat this process start from the same place you started the first time. Once again, stop walking as soon as you feel any fear. Pay attention again to what you are feeling and make yourself aware of those feelings. As with the first time, don't run away from what you're feeling at this point and don't deny or pretend that those feelings aren't there. You must consciously make a choice - a choice that you are in complete control. You can choose to continue walking toward the edge, leave, or stay right where you are. It is your choice and you are in control.
• Start the process again from the same place you started the first time. The moment will come when you will be able to simply accept what you are feeling, even though you may have no desire to continue on towards the edge. When you accept what you are feeling, where you are standing, you'll find that the fear fades. Every time you repeat this process, stop whenever you feel the symptoms coming on, identify the feelings, locate where you are, and allow yourself feel the as you do, and never lose your resolve to get closer to the edge. Little by little, using this process, you'll arrive close to the edge and you won't be overwhelmed by the fear of heights.

About the film
This epic historical drama holds an exceptional place in Oliver Stone's filmography: it is his only cinematic venture set in ancient, non-American times. Nevertheless, it serves as an independent analog to his controversial biopics of famous politicians – John Kennedy (JFK, 1991), Richard Nixon (Nixon, 1995), and George W. Bush (W., 2008). The life of the historical ruler Alexander III of Macedon (356-323 BCE) provided Stone with a starting point for another of his cautionary tales about political power concentrated in the hands of one man. The influence of his unscrupulous father King Philip II, dominant mother Olympias, and the philosopher Aristotle shaped the future king's destiny. After ascending the throne at the age of 20, Alexander quickly gained a reputation as an invincible sovereign and military commander, who united Greece during the campaigns against the Persian Empire and conquered his way to the Indian subcontinent.… In harmony with traditional historical mega-films à la Cecil B. DeMille, Stone turned in a grandiose spectacle of bejeweled movie stars with Colin Farrell at the fore. Based on Oxford historian Robin Lane Fox's book, the picture takes a critical look at the title character: Here, Alexander is an idealist whose power and fame progressively transform into megalomania. His paranoia, in turn, affects his relationship to those closest to him and, given the loss of cultural identity, leads to his internal breakdown.… The 206-minute reedit from 2013 (Alexander: The Ultimate Cut) is the director's fourth and definitive version.

Jenny Wakeman/XJ-9
Talk20this wiki
< Jenny Wakeman | Redirected from XJ-9
Jenny was built 5 years before the events of "I Was a Preschool Dropout" occurred. As her number indicates, she had prototypes. While she was designed as a teenage robot (presumably with the adolescent mind of a 18 year old or so), she did undergo a period of infancy ("Humiliation 101"). For an uncertain amount of time, she was prevented from leaving the house by her mother, except for the express purpose of saving the earth, where she would not be viewed by the general populace.
Physical appearance
Normal Appearance
Jenny stands at 6.5 feet (1.98 m) tall (as according to Dr. Wakeman in "Raggedy Android") and weighs roughly 600 lbs. (revealed by Jenny herself in "Historionics"). She has blue pigtails, with bolts connecting them to her head, blue hair, white skin, blue "clothes" (a tank top and a miniskirt), a belly bolt (a bolt that simulates a belly button), hands with 4 fingers that have holes in the center, no ears, and a "false nose".
Human Appearance
In "Raggedy Android," Nora made an exo-skin so that Jenny could go into public, but the first try had everyone scared of her. In "The Return of Raggedy Android", Nora made adjustments to the suit which made Jenny look more human, but the skin had a mind of its own, and forced Jenny not to fight; however, Jenny poured a chocolate milkshake on herself, which made it short circuit and come off, giving Jenny happily back her free will. At the end of the episode later on, the exo-skin is seen grabbing the store owner, trying to attach itself to him.
Thanks to having high Artificial Intelligence (or "AI" for short), Jenny's personality is that of the eager young teenager, one who desires a sense of freedom, but also wants acceptance from her peers. She likes anything pertaining to teenage activities, but hates it when her mother or her duties get in her way of her enjoyment. Unfortunately, she's easily trusting of others and, as a result, she can be quite naive. The Crust Cousins, Brit and Tiff, have often taken advantage of Jenny's kind and trusting nature.
However, though she is usually sweet, she can also be mischievous, ignorant, careless, and somewhat mean at times. Bill Capo did a news report for WWLTV about Jenny's heroism.
Nora Wakeman
Since Dr. Nora Wakeman is the one who designed and built Jenny, she comes to view her as her mother. Like some mothers with teenage daughters, Dr. Wakeman and Jenny sometimes argue with each other, but Dr. Wakeman truly loves Jenny as if she was a biological daughter. At first, Dr. Wakeman confined Jenny in her bedroom in fear of Jenny possibly not being accepted by society, but when she saw that Jenny made friends after sneaking out of the house, Dr. Wakeman decided to give her more freedom.
Dr. Wakeman would always alert Jenny about any crisis occurring in Tremorton whenever Jenny is out.
Brad Carbunkle
Brad is Jenny's first, true, and closest friend. She usually confides in him on her personal feelings and any other emotions she is going through. He often gives Jenny advice and helps her on missions and normal teenager activities, while causing trouble of his own. They hang out often with each other, with some episodes hinting to a possibility with the two being infatuated by one another. Brad is also Tuck's older brother.
Tuck Carbunkle
Tuck is the first human other then Jenny's mother, whom Jenny has come into contact with. While they first began their relationship in the first season, Tuck often called Jenny a "freaky robot". He has grown more and more close to Jenny, though, finding abilities he once feared to be rather "cool". Soon, Tuck and Jenny grow a close bond to the point that Jenny will fly to Tuck's aid whenever she hears him scream, even though Tuck rather abuses this factor in their relationship quite often. Tuck learns many morals through Jenny, and in the end, it's very much an older sibling to younger sibling relationship. Tuck is also Brad's younger brother
Sheldon Lee
The relationship between Jenny and Sheldon began very awkward and purely beneficial. Although over the seasons the two grew more accustom to each other, Sheldon still often pampers Jenny every chance they get. Jenny sympathizes with Sheldon and his obsession with her, although many times she grows very angry with him since he hinders her on many occasions. He is known to create for her a plethora of different gadgets ranging from blasters to over-sized pencil sharpeners. The two grew close enough that Jenny would often rely on Sheldon to make minor repairs for her when she had some loose bolts, with Sheldon happily complying since he is a mechanical nerd (he once stole her blueprints). It was stated by some of the creators, including Rob Renzetti, that they would have loved to see Jenny and Sheldon get together; they state that she will eventually pick Sheldon because she's sick of smooth operators, and wants someone sweet and sincere.
Jenny first shared a friendly relationship with Misty when they first met in the episode "Teen Team Time" and when Misty came to Earth in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Troubles". First, Jenny felt great to have a teenage female friend who could stay on the phone all day long and do normal teenage activities with her. Later, in "Mist Opportunities", Misty helped Jenny fighting crime in Tremorton, leaving Jenny relying too much on her and slacking from her duties. However, a fight erupted betweeen the two friends as Misty wouldn't do anything unless the citizens paid her and Jenny couldn't stand people in danger. However, Misty already held the chance to beat Jenny up. Jenny then reminded Misty as she thought they were friends, which made Misty leave in anger and said: "The only reason I don't want to destroy you, is that nobody pays me to do it". No one knows if Jenny is still friends with Misty or not.
Brit and Tiff
At first Brit and Tiff tried to use Jenny or made fun of her due to her desire to become popular and befriend them. After she saved them from the fire caused by Tiff's hair clip messing with Jenny's ray, they refused to let the police arrest her until Jenny pulled the clip from her hand, which ended up with them being escorted from the school. Since then, Brit and Tiff have tried to get revenge or make Jenny miserable.
Don Prima
Jenny has a very big crush on Don and has a habit of blushing when speaking to him.
The Cluster
Jenny might hate the Cluster as much as she hates Queen Vexus, as she always has to stop their invasions and fights them all the time.
Queen Vexus
Vexus is Jenny's archenemy, who appears in various episodes throughout the series. They have a huge rivalry against one another. Vexus is the Queen of Cluster Prime, and has tried to force Jenny to join.
In the episode "Killgore", Jenny was annoyed by Killgore as he followed her everywhere and force her to surrender all the time. But she couldn't do anything as everybody else loved him so much, commenting that he was the cutest thing in the world. But Jenny saw Killgore as a defenseless toy, so she pretended to be Killgore's prisoner so that Killgore could impress the Cluster. However, just before being taken away by the Cluster, Killgore helped her by releasing her, and she began to fight the Cluster. Later in "Enclosure of Doom", Jenny had to work with Killgore to find a way out from Armaggedroid's body, then worked together to destroy him as well. In the end of the episode, Killgore left Jenny a message recorded by a tape, which immediately self-destruct.
Melody Locus
Jenny didn't feel anything uncomfortable when she first heard that Brad hang out with Melody. However, after she had discovered that Melody was the daughter of the evil Dr. Locus, Jenny tried to convince Brad that she was evil like her father, which led to her following them. Then Jenny kept forcing Melody to admit that she was evil made Melody angry, unleashing her true form. However, Melody then felt like she didn't belong anywhere and flew away, and saved Jenny and Brad from a car as well. Before that, Brad stated that Jenny was jealous with Melody.
When Jenny came to Cluster Prime, Vega saw her as a friend, even when she figured out that Jenny was X-J9.
The show first appeared on August 1st, 2003 by Nickelodeon

This THREAD suggest iOS 6 tightened USB support for some devices run through the Camera Connection Kit. Apparently Zoom responded to one of the poster's inquiry, stating "it was just luck it worked in the first place" and that he shouldn't expect it to work.
You might be able to run it through an iRig, but then you would lose the stereo since the iPad headphone jack contains only a single audio input chanel.

Thanks for the reply. It's disheartening as I thought it would work out and I do not want to purchase more gear if I can help it.
So, do I have options that exist to allow me to input vocals and guitar at the same time? Plus, I would like to be able to input stereo electronic drums to track with guitar and vocals. Are there products that I can do this with?
The folks at Focus Rite claim that the Scarlett 2i4 works via Camera Connection kit and powered USB hub.
Thank you for your help.

I'm not aware of a device that uses the 30-pin connector to deliver multiple-track stereo audio to the iPad. I have also not found reference to Focus Tire claiming the Scarlett 2i4 works with the Camera Connection Kit. My guess is, if it did, it probably has suffered the same fate at the Zoom hn4.
If you insist on vocals and guitar at the same time, you could always run everything through a mixer but in the end, you still have an audio signal coming through the headphone/mic jack.
I found this and it might be useful, but I have no experience with it so cannot say how well or if it even works: http://www.alesis.com/iodock
It might just be easier to run everything through the iRig (or similar like the Apogee Jam at http://www.apogeedigital.com/) separately to capture individual tracks in Garage Band.
BTW, Garage Band does a pretty good job of taking what you have and filling in the mix with other instruments.

I appreciate your input. Thank you.
The info from Focus Rite was via internet chat with customer service. I am leary of doing this since it is not "supported" by Apple which means I might be stuck with another piece of equipment that I can't use when Apple upgrades something else.
More than having vocal and guitar simultaneously tracking, I want to be able to track my V Drums in stereo. (By the way, Focus Rite iTrack Solo can record vocals and guitar simultaneusly into iPad and I believe is supported. It gets very high ratings as well. I would only be able to track drums in mono with it. Need to use a 30 pin adapter if you have lightening connection.) http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/iTrackSolo?utm_source=MSN&utm_medium=PPC& utm_campaign=audio&utm_term=focusrite_itrack_solo
I have heard good things about iodock but I would have to get rid of my ipad case as it is not compatible with the dock and my pad needs protection from my kids!
I may go with iRig for guitar. For microphone, I think that I would need the iRig PRE for microphone wouldn't I?
What do you use, if anything?
If you have more suggestions, I welcome them.

Like you, I worry about investing into hardware that isn't labeled to work with iPad and doesn't use the doc connector directly rather than through the Camera Kit.
The iTrack Solo looks great and does indeed seems to track a guitar and vocals simulataneously. That might be a good investment, even at the relatively high price of 160 USD. Since it is also advertised to work with a PC or Mac, you get dual use.
As I said before, I have no experience with iodock, but a case is a relatively easy thing to slip on and off when necessary. If it works for you, that's all that counts. Coincidentally, my daughter broke the screen on my iPad two nights past. :-(
The only hardware that I have personally used is the iRig (borrowed from a friend) for recoding into Garage Band and for testing a couple of effects and recording Apps - Amplitube and AmpKit. Amplitube's UI and is better in my opinion.
I will probably invest in my own iRig because its not expensive and it works well. You will need a pre-amp for the mic, so maybe the iRig PRE will work for you.
Are you using anything now?

Thanks for your reply.
I have a Griffin survivor case for my iPad and it's not very easy to take off and put back on. I'm sure you've seen these cases around. They are excellent to protect your iPad from children. I'm not sure how much more they protect the screen as they do have a screen cover but I'm not sure how much they protect from impact.
Since my last post, I discovered a product from Roland called Duo-capture EX. It is very similar to the FocucRite Scarlet 2i4. The difference is that on it Roland website they tout it as "for iPad" product. This product however also is connected to the iPad by the camera connection kit. I'm not exactly sure how Roland is able to tout it as an iPad product whereas Focus Right is not promoting the Scarlet as an iPad product on their web site.
I'm not currently using anything for audio input into my iPad. I would have liked to use my Zoom! The apogee jam looks like an excellent product as well but it appears to be a single input device like iRig but with better ratings.

I have my iPad Retina 7.0.3 connecting to the Zoom H4N via a generic USB powered hub, and it's working great, using Multitrack DAW!! I read somewhere that iOS 7 relaxed the power draw restrictions that 6 put in place and decided to give it a try after trying to get to work a while ago.
I have yet to use anything other than the zoom's X/Y mics, but I'm pretty stoked this is working now. Let me know if I can give any more specific information to help anyone get this working.

That is good news.
Can you please share details of the set up?
Is it still going well?
Have you tried inputs through the zoom jacks yet?

Heck Yes! Pathology Teaser!
Who knew that Napoleon Dynamite could help promote Marc Schoelermann's Pathology? A new teaser trailer for the film found its way online recently, and color me impressed with the humor.

While browsing the interweb for horror news on this strangely slow day, I saw a very interesting article on Twitch.

Bousman Finds Fear Itself
How exactly do you pull off a horror based anthology on network television? Will all its strengths have to be placed within the storytelling and direction since gore and sex can't be relied upon?

*Updated* The Devils and Oliver Reed Wont Return
UPDATE: Ever hear the saying "So close, yet so far?" Unfortunately that applies here. As confirmed by Warner Home Video, The Devils will NOT be seeing a DVD release in 2008. Though the door has been left open for a release sometime down the road. Feh.

This is Silent Hill V?
Sometimes I'm loathe to bring attention to screenshots of a game that is still a good ways off when they look as bad as this, but when the game is Silent Hill V and the graphics just aren't remotely up to scratch, it's a different story.

Doomsday Goes International
IMP Awards got in the international poster for Neil Marshall's upcoming horror/action blast Doomsday. Check it out below. Beautiful women + swords + choppers + violent survivors + a nasty plague = gold in my book ("First Look at Doomsday Infected!" – February 2008).

A federal judge in California has knocked down the state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, ruling Wednesday that the state's controversial Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution.

Judged: 8 8 8 1) It certainly won't be heteroseual sex. 2) No, it can't be possible, according to you, because, in your fantasy world, more heterosexuals have had anal sex than homosexuals. 3) I don't know who you are referring to by the name "Duh". 4) Probably watched your mom giving that ass to daddy through the secret hole in the wall. 5) It means that you have the mentality of Silly-Putty. 6) Topix banned me, because my opinions are not in line with the views of the gays, and because you whined about me, again. 7) You have no understanding of rational arguments against SSM. Dumb-ass. |
Judged: 8 8 8 You don't seriously believe that we are unable to decipher your 4th grade nonsense, do you ? |
Judged: 8 8 8 Hey, Dumb-ass, It's because your use of the "Urban Dictionary" is lame, at best, and your claim of "higher education" is disputed by your reliance on it, and your use of elementary school retorts seals your case. Dismissed as a jack-ass. Dumb-ass. It would suck to be you, as you well know.... Dumb-ass. |
Judged: 6 6 6 Another person suffering from a SARS-like virus has died in Saudi Arabia, the World Health Organization has reported.

Judged: 6 6 6 Dummy, women also have anuses. Stupid, it's not my fantasy, most people who have anal sex are straight. What percentage of the population is gay men? Well, you are stupid. No, never occurred to me. Why did you come up with that idea? You are posting pure BS. They banned you because you are so ugly. You took that pic of your horrible face down, then put it back up, then you were banned. Coincidence? I think not. There aren't any. If there were, someone would have posted them by now. Did you pick your handle because Rock Hudson makes you randy? |

Judged: 8 8 8 This isn't about freedom and equality, as SSC's aren't equal to heterosexual couples. Period. Really, you should read about anatomy and the genuine purposes of marriage. It isn't about letting any old pairing get government benefits, it never was before, and shouldn't be now, either. Why do you think that the freedom of speech is a "Seig Heil" ? Aren't you actually suppressing the rights of your fellow Americans with that old bullshit of yours ? Of course you are. Enacting a Nazi policy on your own. |

Judged: 8 8 8 Yes. You. 10cm is nothing to brag about. Your wife calls me when you leave. Go and stare at men at the gym, while I service your whore. Staring at men in the gym showers will get you an ass beating, but I am sure that you have learned that many times before. |
Judged: 8 8 8 You will not be able to divert the attention that you have earned as a shower lurker. You have already labelled yourself as a perv. "Notice" is the beginning, later you will try to touch, and then you will get arrested, again, right ? When did you have to first start registering as a sex offender ? Have you tried it with boys yet ? |
Judged: 8 8 8 Exactly. Who cares what they do in private ? I care about the official definitions. And the definitions should not be changed to satisfy the deviants. |

To the editor:
Emily Sawtelle is certainly someone the city of Haverhill can be proud of. What a delightful article to read about one of the teenagers in the city. Her parents must be very pleased with how she has begun her life. It proves that good parenting and good mentoring is priceless for a child.
Michael Veves' article on her was great to read and I sure like reading stories like the one about Ms. Sawtelle who has a great future ahead of her. We need to read more about the outstanding teenagers in the city of Haverhill.
I particularly enjoy Mr. Veves' articles, especially the ones about the damage being done to the country by the stubbornness of the religious conservatives in America. His recent articles about the clownishness of the Republican presidential candidates was excellent.
Let's hope Mr. Veves is wrong on his comments about what will happen to America if a right wing government gets control.

To the editor:
David Rousseau's letter about Thanksgiving was well taken. But why must he have to keep reminding us that the reason for all of our "bounties'' has nothing to do with ourselves but that all our bounties are from "God.'' The America of Lincoln is a vastly different America from today populated by Jews, Muslims, Buddhists as well as nonbelievers. Rousseau makes no room for that, sadly. In Lincoln's day, things were much different.
Today's fundamentalist Christian movement is pervasive and it is causing distress in American politics as well as our identity as a nation. Rousseau, like so many others, forgets that there are many different religions in America which is what makes us the country we are. The constant falling back to a supreme humanlike deity who is our "beneficent father who dwelleth in the heavens'' keeps assuming a supernatural being which keeps getting Americans into so much trouble.
Might there not be a beneficent mother that "dwelleth?'' Native American tradition holds that the earth is the great mother from which all things derive. Rousseau's almost sermon-like letter is terribly maudlin and, like many of the rabid religious amongst us, he probably would feel better had he been born during the time of the Great Awakening where reason was abandoned in favor of myth.
Rousseau, naturally, uses Abraham Lincoln who assumes godlike status in our country as a vehicle to promote his real intent: God is the reason why things are the way they are. Rousseau quotes Lincoln at length and reminds us that God "hath nevertheless remembered mercy.'' Perhaps that's the mercy Rousseau means when millions were brutally slain in our civil war, family against family, brothers and sisters against each other. Quite frankly God has little to do with most of our behavior, but you'll never get the religious minded to abandon their myths and supernatural beliefs.
Rousseau's letter regarding Thanksgiving would have been much better had he not had to invoke the "God card'' yet again and again.

The stock market is up the most it's ever been up in a single day, and the media isn't really covering it.
I get most of my news from blogs, both that I'm subscribed to and referred to by friends. Last week, when the market basically shit itself, most of what I read went along the lines of, and I paraphrase and exaggerate, "Holy shit, we're all going to die. Move to Canada RIGHT NOW. Sell everything and dig yourself a nuclear missile shelter, Blast-From-The-Past style. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Perhaps this is proof that the media reports on stories that readers will latch on to, stories that scare readers. You see this on the local news as well; at least in Los Angeles, the local news is pretty much entirely composed of shootings, gang fights, and stabbings.
This post is a poor attempt at analyzing media pschology. My sample space (number of media sources analyzed) is very, very small, and I'm only commenting on a single day's activity. However, it's in the best interest of a media company to sell as much media (or ads) as possible, which means economically their goal is to attract readers, not necessarily report consistently. Perhaps scaring readers sells the most media.
I think I've shined light on something that most people are aware of, but I thought my claim was worth posting anyway.

In redrawn districts that stretch from the greater Charleston area upstream into Fayette County, we recommend the following candidates, mostly incumbents.
District 32 -- Three Democratic incumbents are good choices to return to office: Margaret Staggers of Fayetteville, and Dave Perry and John Pino, both of Oak Hill. Their district includes much of Fayette County and parts of Clay, Nicholas and Raleigh, as well as Montgomery in Kanawha County.
District 36 -- Nancy Guthrie, Mark Hunt and Danny Wells, all of Charleston, are three Democratic incumbents with good records. They are among legislators who have put West Virginia on the sound financial footing that it enjoys today.
District 35 -- Bobbie Hatfield of Charleston and Bonnie Brown of South Charleston, both Democrats, have years of experience and knowledge. In that four-member district that includes Upper Falls, St. Albans, Dunbar and South Charleston, we also recommend the other two Democrats, incumbent Doug Skaff and newcomer Chris Morris, a former state tax commissioner. Both live in Charleston.
District 37 -- Democratic incumbent Meshea Poore is an energetic, valuable delegate who represents her Charleston district well and has earned another term in the Legislature.
Early voting begins Oct. 24. Election Day is Nov. 6.

HORMONAL IMBALANCE Hormones are messengers that our body's cells, tissues, and organs use as a means to communicate with each other. When I began my study of medicine forty years ago, the lectures on hormones concerned the diseases of the thyroid, adrenal, sex glands and pituitary. Now it is different. In my clinical practice, I recognize that each cell needs to communicate with every other cell since, by definition, any part of a whole must have some relationship with all of the whole. Now when I see a patient, I think of hormones made by the heart, lung, bowel and the immune cells. I think of all the messengers that maintain cellular communications and allow cells to express their cellular intelligence. After decades of work as a hospital pathologist and a practicing clinician, I now consider it poor medicine to classify a patient's symptoms as "this or that" disease.
In light of the above comments I want to answer three very good questions posed to me.
Q: Can taking testosterone help some women with hormonal imbalance?
A: All women produce testosterone naturally, it stands to reason that the hormone must do some good. Regrettably most gynecologists are not well informed about the value of small doses of oral testosterone supplementation (1.25 to 2.5 mg daily) restoring hormonal balance in women with chronic health problems such as fibromylagia, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivity, and complex thyroid and adrenal problems. In addition I observe good results with a testosterone cream (2% strength of dipropionate form) than with estrogen creams for my patients with vaginal dryness and irritation.This subject however requires considerable experience on the part of the doctor. With small doses as mentioned here, the potential for adverse effects is extremely small. many women report improvement in their sex drive. Hair growth, if it ever occurs, clears up quickly when testosterone is discontinued. I do not recommend that women do this therapy on their own, without close professional supervision. Testosterone is a prescription item. Androstenedione, a precursor of testosterone, is available without prescription but enough about its clinical use is not known. Hence, I do not recommend it for women at this time.
Q: DHEA helps adrenal weakness. Pregnenolone does the same. Which is better?
A: Both are natural substances which the adrenal gland uses to prepare progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, cortisone and related hormone. The following table shows their relationships:
The question which is better of the two cannot be answered in a generic sense. Each individual has her/his own unique requirements based on hormonal evaluation with laboratory tests and clinical assessment. For most persons with simple adrenal weakness, DHEA given in modest doses of 25 to 50 mg daily is enough. However, in many patients with chronic immune, ecologic and metabolic disorders, adrenal weakness is also a complex problem. It is created by failure of adrenal enzymes at more than one levels, and is often associated with functional weaknesses of thyroid, pancreas and sex hormones. In such patients it often requires a "multi-layered" approach that addresses enzyme failures at whatever level they take place. Thus, I sometimes use 25 mg of DHEA, 10 mg of pregnenolone and 25 to 50 mg of natural progesterone in my female patients as a three-prong approach to restoring the normal adrenal and female sex hormone balance. So you can see it is not a matter of which is better, DHEA or pregnenolone. Rather, what hormonal support is necessary for a given patient with hormonal imbalance.
Q. Is there any truth behind claims of natural female hormone replacement therapy?
A: The word "natural" in the context of hormone supplementation for hormonal balancing requires a careful comment. Drug companies design their synthetic hormones to be different from natural hormones for patent protection. Such hormones, of course, wreak havoc on cell memebrane receptors (where hormones connect to the cell as they float in blood).
I know many women who have fallen victim to estrogenic avalanches unleashed by synthetic hormones and hormone-like substances (such as pesticides) and these avalanches of estrogen are causing the epidemics of breast and prostate cancers. However, it is possible to take raw materials from foods such soybean to prepare hormones which faithfully copy the structure and the function of the naturally-occurring hormones. Thus, in integrative medicine, we seek to correct hormonal deficiencies by prescribing soybean-derived hormones which are identical to naturally-occurring hormones. From many years of experience at The Institute of Preventive Medicine, we know that this approach is far safer than using synthetic hormones. Furthermore, we use anti-cancer hormones in much larger doses (for example, progestrone) and hormones with potential cancer-causing effects (such as estrodiol) in much smaller doses.

"Our leaders in business and politics need to learn about stress - and Ali's lions have some valuable lessons for them! Professor Julio Sotelo, Cornell University Medical College, New York
A Different View of Stress A physician does his most worthy work when he participates in his patient's suffering. In participating in their suffering, my patients with severe, chronic stress have given me two insights.
First, the common notion of stress being fight-or-flight response to a demand for change is so inadequate as to be clinically irrelevant.
Second, spirituality makes psychology irrelevant. In this volume, I include many true-to-life stories of my patients and describe the energetic-molecular basis of their suffering. I relate how long hours of listening to them led me to conclude that the popular notion of mind-over-body healing is a cruel joke, and, in essence, pours salt on their wounds. I also recognized that the prevailing practice of searching for relief of the agony of the present through 'working out the problems of the past' is little more than a cortical trap-the mind endlessly recycles past pain or recycles feared, future misery. Psychology, by and large, keeps us incarcerated in obsolete models of disease and sufferings. Spirituality set us free.

Dr. Ali presents his plan for reversing Diabetes. In cases when diabetes cannot be reversed due to complete insulin depletion, this book offers valuable information on avoiding the complications of diabetes.
The Canary and Chronic Fatigue Chronic Fatigue sufferers are human canaries--unique people who tolerate poorly the biologic oxidative stressors of the late 20th century. They are genetically predisposed to injury and their energy and detoxification enzymes by agents in their internal and external environments. Their molecular defenses are damaged by undiagnosed and unmanaged allergies, chemical sensitivities, environmental pollutants, microbes, sugar-insulin-adrenaline roller coasters, stress and hostility of sped up lives. Under their skin, they carry oxidative storms--the Fourth of July chemistry. This book offers information and guidance about nondrug therapies that do work for the fatigue sufferer as well as the professional.

Cell phones may hurt male fertility
September 25, 2008 by Valerie HelmbreckPosted in: Communication, Gadgets, Hardware, In this week's e-newsletter, Latest News & Views
Gentlemen: Get that cell phone out of your pants pocket when you make a call, unless you're not concerned about the possible impact it could have on your sperm.
That's the latest word from researchers at the Center for Reproductive Medicine of the renowned Cleveland Clinic who've discovered that radio-frequency energy from mobile phones decrease sperm quality.
In a study of 361 men, the greatest impact was on those who used their phones for more than four hours a day.
Men making a lot of hands-free calls from a mobile phone stored in a pants pocket could damage their reproductive chances.
The researchers said electromagnetic waves from mobile phones could exert "deleterious effects" on sperm through thermal or nonthermal effects or a combination of both. "The exact mechanism is still unknown, and is one of the critical questions to be answered."
Stay tuned.

The calls came into the elderly woman's home at all hours of the day.
Her son had taken out a loan, the debt was past due, and debt collectors were pestering her to make him pay.
"She wasn't liable on the debt," said Ventura attorney Michael Sment, who handled the son's case. "He didn't live at home with her. He wasn't a minor. But it was one way, through an older woman, they could put pressure on him."
"Not only is that illegal," Sment said, "but I believe under California law, that would be elder abuse."
Such confrontations are commonplace across California, with debt collectors adopting more aggressive tactics to collect overdue payments and debtors complaining they are being hounded by collection agencies using shady and possibly illegal practices.
Californians have filed more than 40,000 complaints against debt collectors with the Federal Trade Commission since 2007, according to an analysis of federal data. Nearly 850 of those complaints have come from Ventura County alone.
But while the number of complaints has soared by 6 percent across the nation, the trend has been headed in the opposite direction in California.
Californians are still more likely to complain about unscrupulous debt collectors than the nation as a whole. But the number of complaints from California has actually fallen off sharply over the past two years.
In 2007, Californians filed nearly a fifth of all federal complaints against debt collectors. But complaints from California dropped 11 percent last year and are on pace to fall an additional 10 percent this year. In Ventura County, the complaints have dropped slightly, less than 1 percent.
Officials are at a loss to explain the decline.
Lawyers in California Attorney General Jerry Brown's office said they could think of no reason why the complaints might have been disproportionately higher two years ago and have since begun to level off.
"We really don't have an explanation for the decrease," said Brown's spokeswoman, Dana Simas.
The Attorney General's Office continues to receive a consistent number of complaints against collectors, Simas said.
Remedies are limited
Even with the federal complaints tapering off, a significant number of Californians say they have been harassed by collection agencies using tactics that appear to be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a federal law that prohibits deceptive and abusive behavior.
"We do hear of 'We're going to take your house; we're going to garnish your wages,'" said Valencia attorney Louis J. Esbin, who has clients in Ventura County and is past president of the Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys Association.
"They're able to hide behind those hints because most people won't pursue them for it," Esbin said. "It's often your word against theirs, and the remedies that are set forth in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act are limited."
Esbin said some of his clients complain debt collectors try to get them to pay the debt by calling and harassing their parents and other family members.
"They may not give them their cell numbers, but they will find their cell numbers through various databases," he said. "They will call their offices. And even though our clients inform them that they are represented by counsel, and we even have a letter we have them send to these people that they should only contact their attorney, they say, 'No, we're not going to contact your attorney; we're going to keep contacting you.'"
No obligation to verify debt
Often, collectors will throw around words like "police" or "sheriff," clearly implying the debtor could go to jail, even though failing to pay a debt is not a crime in the United States, said Ronald Perry of California Rural Legal Assistance, which is the legal arm of Ventura County's immigrant community.
The veiled threats of criminal consequences can be intimidating, said Perry, who is the directing attorney for the agency's Oxnard office.
"For our clients, who tend to be Spanish speakers, they are not terribly sophisticated, and they are surprised to learn that not paying a debt is not a crime," he said.
One of Perry's clients was a man who co-signed a loan for a friend to buy a pickup. The friend didn't make the truck payments, and the collection agency went after Perry's client, who paid the debt with his credit card.
A year later, Perry's client got hit with a lawsuit and his wages were garnished for the same debt, even though it had been paid. As Perry dug into the case, he learned that the collection agency had sold the debt to another collector, which had begun proceedings to collect the already paid debt.
A court eventually ruled in favor of Perry's client, but both of the collection agencies went bankrupt.
"He got half of his money back for a debt that wasn't really his," Perry said.
The case was a real eye-opener, Perry said, because it showed that collectors will aggressively go after someone without even confirming that the person actually owes the debt.
"There's really no obligation for the collection agency to verify the validity of the debt," he said.
'They just refuse'
Sment, chairman of the Ventura County Bar Association's bankruptcy section, said one of the things he has noticed recently is that banks are turning to debt collectors to try to recoup second mortgages on homes.
The normal procedure for collecting on delinquent home loans is through foreclosure. But going that route would limit the bank to collecting only the collateral, which generally is the property in question, Sment said.
Because home prices in California have fallen, the value of the property often is insufficient to satisfy both the first and second mortgages. Second mortgage holders fear they will end up with nothing if they go through foreclosure, so some banks are turning the matter over to debt collectors instead, Sment said.
"So now people, instead of just dealing with a foreclosure, which is what they agreed to in their loan documents, are being hounded by collection agencies trying to collect on a loan that will probably be wiped out and uncollectible," Sment said.
Banks "are just kind of hanging on by their fingernails trying to do whatever they can to squeeze something out of some people,'' he said.
Experts say it's important consumers know their rights.
Esbin said he advises each client to write down the collector's name and phone number; inform the caller that the client has an attorney; give the collector the attorney's name and number; and then end the conversation.
But that doesn't always work.
"Usually, what I tell people is, if they call you again, you just tell them you've got a lawyer who is helping you and (for them) to call me," Perry said. "They never do that. They just refuse.
"Why? Because they've got an unsophisticated person on the other end of the line that they can intimidate."
