Fuel: GD Apr 2014: One manager said OK your decision, then the security says no, the night manqger does not want it. So we did not stay. Feb 2013: Asked to park. First Lady said "no way" but when we insist, she call manager (Mr Isaac) and he said thats ok on the rear of store. When we were preparing to move (we were near gas station and Firestone tires store) he said we can stay there. But maybe the rear of the store will be a better place as think it will be quieter. Apr 2012: I did not ask, and security guard quickly asked me to move to the part of the parking lot beyond the bushes to the left. That is not really part of walmarts parking lot, but so far so good.

God's Will is NOT #kidmin
Yes, I said it. No matter what you believe God's will is for your life, it is not kid's ministry, nor any ministry for that matter.
Take a minute and answer this question— "What is God's will for my life?"
There was a point in my life not too long ago that when I was asked that question, my answer was to do my best for God. I believed that. I thought God wanted me to do my best— in my ministry, in my family, at my job. That seems simple enough, right? Do my best and God will be happy with me?
God's will is not for me to do my best.
How does God speak to me?
We often think of prayer as asking God for something. While that is one aspect, there is much more to prayer. Prayer is a form of communication, but it should be two way communication. Prayer is as much about you talking to God as it is about God talking to you. The question then becomes: "How does God speak to me"?
When God spoke to Moses, he did so through a burning bush. When God spoke to Elijah he spoke in a still small voice. Saul saw a blinding light and heard an audible voice when God spoke to him. Sometimes angels brought God's word, other times God used prophets as his method to speak to his people.
How does God speak to me?
My God is big enough to speak to me in any of those ways, but he has has not used any of those methods. My God is big enough to speak to me in a way that is unique to me. Just as I am uniquely made, he chooses to speak to me in a way that is special to me.
All new @Awana website
That's right—there is now a new Awana Website! You will still find the same great info, but this time around it will be much easier to find what you need. Be sure to check out the welcome video to learn more about the site redesign
Not long ago I was invited to Awana HQ for a behind the scenes look into the organization. I have always been a huge Awana supporter, since my daughter is involved in a local Awana Club. She love it! As a family, we have benefited greatly from the program. My Awana outlook has always been very positive, but I was very surprised and excited about what I learned over a few days watching and listening behind the scenes. Awana is undergoing a change. If you were not aware, Awana did in fact have a problem, but the good thing is they are working to fix that problem. What problem you ask? One word–communication.
I am personally learning that communication is the key to healthy relationships. Without communication, it is hard to learn, grow, and trust. One of the ways Awana is improving communication is through their newly re-designed website!
Easily found on the new Awana Website
Some things I have recently learned, and things that are easily found on the website are:
- Awana has a blog!
- Awana programs reach 2.3 million kids in over 100 countries EVERY WEEK!
- Awana provides lots of training material for parents and kids ministry leaders
If you are a parent, Awana leader, or just want to know more about the changes going on at Awana, check out their new website, and subscribe to their blog.
Have you seen the new Awana website? What do you think? Leave a comment and let me know!
Orange Conference: Life Reset w/ @jonAcuff #oc14
Jon Acuff was a guest speaker at the Orange Conference in Atlanta. I have read many of his posts on stuffchristianslike.net, but I have never heard him speak before. In addition to being very funny, he was also very relevant. In this session, titled Reset, he walked through several stages/phases of what he called a Reset. A Reset is a moment of starting over, sometimes forced, sometimes by choice. No matter what the cause, he talked through some practical actions to take, no matter what stage we are in.
Keep in mind, these are just my notes. This is my interpretation of what was said, and what I felt was important to walk away with.
1. You won't feel qualified
Jim Wideman: Questions to evaluate #oc14 notes
If you aren't familiar with kids ministry pioneer brother Jim Wideman, you should be sure to check him out. What follows are my notes from one of Jim's sessions from the Orange conference all about questions we need to ask ourselves as leaders for self or ministry evaluation.
We have to evaluate ourselves
Why are questions so Important:
- Questions make you think
A Stronghold is believing wrong information
- Questions make you evaluate
- Do when you are small what you will be forced to do when you are big
- There is a difference between doubt and questions
- Questions lead to change
Mission Drift: remaining True to your Mission
It is awesome to be a guest at Awana HQ to get an inside scoop on the changes that are coming to Awana as they begin to make some changes that will help some problems within the organization, and will actually benefit all in kids ministry.
Peter Greer, founder of Hope International, is one of the key speakers here at the Awana14Launch, addressing the idea of Mission Drift.
A drift occurs when small changes are made over a long period of time. By the time some of these changes are realized, the drift has already occurred, and you are way off course. Mission Drift occurs when you make choices and decisions that lead away from the core values. These changes often seem small and insignificant, but over time these decisions have huge ramifications. The further off course you get, the harder it becomes to get back on course.
In ministry, we all know this too well. To avoid Mission Drift, it is important to identify your core value. Your core mission. The one thing that you will not veer from. That is the reason you exist. Nothing else matters. Everything you do needs to point back to that core mission. The message is sacred, but the method is not.
Awana has a Problem
The Problem with Awana
I have the honor and privilege of being live at Awana Headquarters as they begin the process of addressing some big changes that are coming. I'm not sure what your Awana experience has been but I will tell you a little about mine.
As a children's ministry leader I am aware of many different resources that are available, I have used and adapted material, reviewed samples of other materials. In my world, Awana existed as a midweek program focused on scripture memorization. While I have never run an Awana program myself, my daughter attends. And she loves it. Awana is hugely successful at their discipleship and focus on bible memorization, and I have seen that first hand. As I have sat and listened to many different Awana employees and leaders, the one thing I have heard over and over is how the organization exists to disciple children. And they do that well.
Awana Launch: addressing issues in ministry
Awana Launch
If you are familiar with Awana, this is exciting news. Even if you are not familiar with Awana, if you have anything to do with ministry to children, this is still very beneficial news. I have the honor to be behind the scenes at Awana Headquarters for a few days as they prepare to launch some big changes and some new goals within the global Awana community.
If a church has an Awana program, it generally will fall into one of three categories:
- Awana is a parachurch organization (Awana is a stand alone program that exists within the church—basically the program uses church space to run the program)
- Awana runs as a part of the larger children's ministry
- Awana exists as the only form of children's ministry.
What's new at @awana? #awana14launch
What's new at Awana?
Well, it won't be long and we will know. Awana is holding an Awana Launch meeting April 30, in which they will fill us in on all things new at Awana. For me, one of the most exciting parts of the #Awana14Launch is that I get to be there to witness firsthand.
Hopefully at this point you aren't asking yourself what is Awana? If you are, here are a few thoughts right from the Awana website:
AHA by Kyle Idleman review
AHA by Kyle Idleman
I was recently asked if I would be interested in an advance copy of Kyle Idleman's new book AHA. Of course I said yes. If you aren't familiar with Idleman, he is the teaching pastor of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY, and the bestselling author of Not a Fan.
It this book, AHA, Idleman explores the aha moments in our lives when the light bulb goes off and we gain some new understanding of a given set of circumstances. In fact, he defines aha as "a sudden recognition that leads to an honest moment that brings lasting change."
The book is laid out in three sections–each section a vital role in experiencing an AHA moment.

concentration was an important factor in the analysis and found that it did not affect the study results.
On January 10, 2005, Italy implemented a nationwide smoking ban in all indoor public places, including offices, retail shops, cafés, bars, restaurants, and discotheques. Smoking was not banned in private houses or specifically equipped public areas (for example, the law had requirements for exempted areas, including ventilation systems that create negative pressure and a requirement for doors) (Vasselli et al., 2008).
Although no exposure data are available on the specific populations, some general compliance and monitoring data are available from before and after implementation of the ban. Gallus et al. (2006) found that of 3,114 people ages 15 years or older who were surveyed in Italy, almost 90% perceived that the ban was observed in bars, and 70% had that perception for workplaces. As reported by Gorini et al. (2005) in a letter to a journal editor, the median concentration of nicotine in the vapor phase of samples from four pubs and three discotheques in Florence decreased to an average of 3.2% of the pre-ban median: from 138.9 μg/m3 (range, 33.0–276.5 μg/m3) to 4.5 μg/m3 (range, 1.7–8.7 μg/m3). Valente et al. (2007) measured fine and ultrafine particles in 40 establishments in Rome and urinary cotinine in nonsmoking employees of the establishments before and after implementation of the ban. The average concentration of PM2.5 particles (particles smaller than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) decreased from 119.3 μg/m3 before the ban to 38.2 μg/m3 (p < 0.005) 2–3 months after implementation and to 43.3 μg/m3 (p < 0.01) 11–12 months after implementation. The average concentration of ultrafine particles also decreased but to a smaller extent, from 76,956 particles/cm3 before the ban to 38,079 particles/cm3 (p < 0.0001) and 51,692 particles/cm3 (p < 0.01) 2–3 months and 11–12 months after implementation, respectively. Urinary cotinine in the employees decreased from an average of 17.8 ng/mL (95% CI, 14–21.6 ng/mL) before the ban to 5.5 ng/mL (95% CI, 3.8–7.2 ng/mL) and 3.7 ng/mL (95% CI, 1.8–5.6 ng/mL) 2–3 months and 11–12 months after implementation, respectively. Those data indicate that the smoking ban resulted in a decrease in exposure to secondhand smoke.
Three publications report on acute coronary events after implementation of the Italian smoking ban (Barone-Adesi et al., 2006; Cesaroni et

Tell me about your idea of paradise – where do your dreams take place?
I wanna go to where your visions collide
explore your depths on a mission to you without ever leaving the room
without ever leaving your field of vision we can go to the moon
and this point of view by far has never
been a clearer vista near my crashing sounds of cymbals
heart beating –out of my chest
point being all I see right now is beauty in you and me.
Tell me about the mountain and the sea
since we've explored our middle ground before
I'll ride to and through the high and low
remind me of your dreams again
your idea of paradise – the one you wake up from on a beach
sands of peach you lay place where ideas crash
and sweet imaginations collide with the rocky jagged edge of psyche
a line of rocks along the lips that spill this secrets on to me
like a bursting bubble is how I am too – fade in like the mist
and kiss my skin a thousand times over and over and over
Tell me your dreams as corny as it seems
what puts the smiles on your face – where does your heart live?
If your soul had an age how old would you be?
What's your ideal wake up call – if you would want to be awake
when the sun is up at all
remind me of the color on your shores it's been too long a time
since I've stared into the waves
faced the horizon and hide caves
that yet to be explored
And what of me in your dreams? Am I clear like a lake,
cold gusts from the water in the fjords a kiss of wind above the cliffs from the lapis lazuli crisp below or am I hidden in the valleys, pulpit of the tulip, do you keep me secret?
Take me to a place where I wouldn't need to satisfy my earthly needs
meet me at the crossroads between rhythm and time
I can see a glimpse of it – a secret sealed away so that I can only catch a whiff of it
I can see a gist of it – in your kiss a taste the sweetness of the vision like Shangri la
I can feel a gist of it – a second glance or a hit or miss it's a taste of nirvana in your kiss I'm dancing on the line of ignorance is bliss
It's like nothing I've ever felt - lost in the remarkable comfort of it lost I can be still in the hold but still so very far from the galaxy that lingers in your kiss I'm on the road to el dorado a second chance at grace lies in your embrace collapse all need I'd free it all just to exist
excerpt from For Your Consideration, Eliot-Ray, 2013
Everyone wants an Oscar worthy romance but never takes the chance to make some b-roll.
I never see you in my lens. I've never seen your audition.
I'd rather Hollywood curb the magic and keep those schemes;
let those loves remain on screens
than in the dreams of you and me.
Everyone wants to fall in love, but while at the playground never expects bruised knees.
Well, guess what, gravity doesn't discriminate,
time waits for no man,
like going to the beach and complaining about sand in your ass – how dare you.
It's expected – and to pretend like it's not the same is playing games with your mind –
the heart does not control bodily function,
your legs were meant to get you up when you fall.
So get back up again.
Every outtake, every blooper, improv, ad-lib, deleted scenes
are beats for my heart song – I've fallen for the nuance in your love,
your stellar performance. Your actor's repertoire
– every moment in my eyes is a home movie for my mind to play
I get to see my favorite actor – you could be my star.
You could be a star.
So keep on acting superstar, like every heart break ain't the same
like every heart break don't feel the same,
just a different face, a different set of lips a different set of hips, another repeat of the same old sex,
re-runs of your favorite day time drama playback of your real life soap opera.
Same shit, different actor; same shit different body; same shit different smell; different shit, same heart; let it go before you start again. Different faces different roles, different feels different back stories, different facial expressions to fall in love with write songs about for the end credits kind of fall in love and hit a wall and act like you don't know how to walk in love in love style love.
Everyone wants that Oscar worthy romance
big screen love, that everyone else dreams of.
But never wants to play the part of, well…
Everyone wants an Oscar worthy romance
but never takes the chance to play the part of leading role, rather keep the two bit part of some blurred out extra in the post production seat filler in the back seat of the restaurant just on the edge of the frame a face in the night a stranger
– a bump in the cobblestone a cloud in my coffee
and cigarette smoke you'll float and become the sky –
Out of sight and out of mind.
I'd rather Hollywood keep those schemes than live in dreams of you and I.
excerpt from For Your Consideration, Eliot-Ray, 2013.
it dies and comes back more beautiful than the last
every time it spreads its wings
I feel like I can soar, in your presence, in your arms, keep me grounded each time. We share the same sun, moon, and stars, but on separate highs and obviously different skies.
You are the ashes we could rise from, display a patterned light like a prism from the sun you're on the move again - escapades at bars, ducking romance because you're too scared to love from afar.
Yet you bring it back to life every time you had the pleasure, the want, the need, to have to be around me. Then stay around me! You die and come back more beautiful every time.
It comes back and feels stronger than the last, much closer than the last, an air much colder than the last, much like the winter doesn't last, but still holds over in the body like the last.
Should you come around don't be surprised to find a metaphorical grave where we lived, I won't be here on this plane in spirit or emotion. When your plane makes it's way across the ocean, I won't be apart of this groove you lack the rhythm for the motion.
Catch the notion? I don't think of you as often, my empire hasn't fallen due to your absence – but what were you in my world before since you still haunt me so?
I couldn't have been more vulnerable, fresher. More raw, practically naked in love, naked to your world. But still fully clothed. But still fully clothed. I don't even know what you smell like let alone what you taste like – the cold winter air stunned my senses I could hardly get a whiff should I be close to you.
We stood on this same intersection like so many nights like so many chances we put up so many fights, like so many nights underneath these same city lights. All I ever wanted was a piece of you.
On this college square would I dare to kiss you? Over and over and over until I had no lips, until I lost my grip. That hit or miss we never got.
All I ever wanted was a piece of you. I call us phoenix syndrome.
We die and come back. It comes back and feels stronger than the last, much closer than the last, an air much colder than the last, much like the winter doesn't last, but still holds over in the body like the last.
excerpt from For Your Consideration Eliot-Ray, 2012

Understanding the Gospel of John
- Wednesday, April 14, 2004
About the Biblical Text
For many readers, both ancient and modern, John is the "spiritual gospel," signaled by the initial emphasis on Jesus as the one who descends from God at the beginning of the account and returns to God at the end.
The first half of the gospel consists of lively and well-crafted dialogues between Jesus and individuals, such as the Samaritan Woman; Nicodemus who came to Jesus by night; and the blind man, all of whom do not appear in other gospels.
It stands apart from Matthew, Mark and Luke in that when it records the same events, as in the case of the "cleansing of the temple," the incident appears at a dramatically different moment chronologically. It includes long discourses by Jesus, whereas the other gospels tend to have Jesus speaking in short statements or parables. It weaves Jesus' ministry around seven "signs" or miracles: the changing of water to wine; healing the nobleman's son; healing the lame man; walking on water; feeding the 5000; healing the blind man; and raising Lazarus. Unlike Matthew, Mark and Luke, it records no exorcisms.
In these same gospels, Jesus goes only once to Jerusalem, implying a one-year ministry. In The Gospel of John, Jesus makes a number of visits spread over a three-year ministry. He is recognized from the beginning as the Messiah in John, while in the other three gospels, that recognition comes slowly.
The Gospel of John is the only gospel that explicitly mentions why it was written. Toward the end, the author states that the purpose is to show that "Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God." John's gospel uses stylish literary techniques to communicate this conviction, making a limited range of points repeatedly, so that the gospel can be appreciated at a variety of levels. The author does not hesitate to use dramatic and emotional moments to drive home his core messages.
Perhaps what impresses most about The Gospel of John is its breathtaking sweep, which bridges from "before the world was created" to future generations who will "believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God."

Why is this a "woman's issue" and not merely an issue facing everyone?
And as for women looking to take the reigns, after seeing a mother, aunt or some other woman who didn't fare well after the father died, I've seen that, but I've also see women who were so stubbornly untrusting of men (after being burned by a man), and are so lousy with handling their own money, that they end up hurting themselves far more than the man they left, did. So, it's not a male-female issue. The one who is the CFO of the family should be the one with the greatest degree of scruples and discipline in that arena, male or female. BUT, along with that authority, comes responsibility: If the ship sinks because of how the finances were handled, then the CFO deserves primary responsibility and blame for it.
Don, it's a woman's issue because too many have been blown off by financial advisors and/or have seen their mothers/grandmothers struggle (either for lack of funds or lack of knowledge) upon becoming widows.
As for the writers questions, I started saving at a young age and learned by watching parents who live within their means, make rational choices, use credit wisely, and expect to contribute toward those who need a helping hand. I hope that I can imbue the same values in my children.
I find it hard to believe that *any* woman would be "blown off" by a financial advisor. Why would a financial advisor send away a potential client? I personally helped one elderly woman get set up with a financial advisor, and witnessed nothing but the advisor's desire to sign her up.
And understand, that your 70 year old (grand)mother came from a different world, practically, so it's not like you're teaching your grandmother when she was a child.
I'm not saying you shouldn't teach financial basics to your kids, I just don't know why it should be limited to daughters. What about your sons?
…and now that I think about this more, I find this statement from Linda Descano a bit creepy: "We also found 92% of women are talking to their daughters about money, making it the No. 1 topic of conversation." I'm not saying that money-management isn't important, but the #1 topic? Is there nothing else more important or challenging in life to help your daughter make it in this world? How about talking with your daughter about boys and men? Let me tell you, if there's one thing that post-60s women are woefully short on, it's knowledge about men (and no, I don't mean how rotten, untrustworthy, selfish, violent, cruel, blah blah blah that men are).
I encourage everyone to ignore Don's passages. His sole mission is to disrupt conversation on this blog. His agenda is sadistic and sad, and if others would just write "Please Ignore Don" and go on with conversation, we'd be the better for it; Men and Women Alike. As for the question: I started saving at 27, even though I live paycheck to paycheck. I'm not sure if I can count on Social Security to be there when I need it, so I feel I have to take care of myself. Watching my savings compound makes me feel more in control. As for my parents, I was never talked to about finances, and I had role models with bill collectors calling them all the time. After college, I too had bill collectors calling me, and the stress was surmounting. It took hitting bottom to make me face my finances without emotion. I decided to accept every phone call, and payoff every bill. Now, I never miss payments, and it is much easier to save. Now that I have this discipline and knowledge, I will certainly pass it on to either sex of child. Finally, it is so important for women to save even earlier than I have, because the majority of us do not make the salaries of men. It will take longer for us to build up an equal nest egg, so we have to start saving earlier.
Actually, Min's sole mission is to silence me, because she's incapable of coping with intelligent argument which she doesn't like.
Re: your point of financial discipline, and passing on those habits to your children, well-said, Min. (sorry if that's disruptive for you) and is exactly what I wrote earlier — that I couldn't understand why this was considered a woman's issue. Financial discipline is important for everyone, so why limit it to daughters?
But I will disagree with you on the salary comment (sorry if that troubles you) because a woman who puts in the same hours/months/years/decades as men, earns nearly the same. And women who are married to men who make more, are in a situation where they share equally in the family's finances.
Don, what hole have you stuck your head in? A woman who puts in the same hours/months/years/decades as men does NOT earn nearly the same. Duh! Or maybe I should ask where you live, so I can move there. And women who make more are in a situation where they share equally in the family's finances? Women are not brushed off by financial advisors? What are you ON, anyway? There are days I might want to share some with you.
Don, please don't worry your pretty little head about this whole big money thing. That's women's work. We'll take care of everything.
You won't need to look at any boring old bank statements or read any of those stupid long wills and trust contracts. I've taken care of all the bills, including those that you don't know exist. Here, here's your allowance. It's fair, I gave myself the same amount. Just be careful of it though, you need to buy the groceries for the whole month with that too. Now go of and do whatever it is that you do!
In fact, go somewhere else where your comments have some contact with reality.
Hi Linda, and hope you're having a wonderful evening
I don't disagree that there are such situations. In fact, I know of such situations. It's called a bad marriage. I was referring to good marriages, where there is trust and responsible money management by husband and wife. Maybe in your experience, you have more contact with those in bad marriages, while I have more contact with those in good ones.
And yes, Linda, when pay is normed for time taken off from work (to do things like raising/loving/spending time with/etc. children) then it's nearly the same already.
Ha, ha.
Don, once again, I really need to ask you where you live. Please tell me which state, county, etc.
Other than that, I think that you live in la la land and are looking for a woman via this blog.
Sexism is alive and well where I have lived, in Southern California and Indiana. Women do not get equal wages when broken down into hourly in most jobs. I have a college degree plus, my IQ is over 135, have good work ethics, but that does not especially equate to good pay.
Women still end up paying in the long run: we tend to live longer, and as I have found, about the time the kids are out of the house, a parent or spouse needs caretaking, and who else is qualified? More years of stress, lack of full pay, etc. It's not all fun and games.
And back to the subject at hand, my mom taught me to be very frugal, as her mom taught her. This is the only thing that has allowed us to have a decent living standard.
In the way of investing the money for growth, however, The Moms have not been too sophisticated. There is still much to learn.
"And as for women looking to take the reigns, after seeing a mother, aunt or some other woman who didn't fare well after the father died,"
Please learn how to spell.
Don has a pencil dick
Of the studies I've seen, where the data is normed for time actually spent in the workforce, the numbers are near equal, nationwide. And yes, I don't deny that one sex often is unfairly slighted over the other, but in 2008, it is women who tend to be favored.
And (chuckle) now you're saying that women have it rougher, because they tend to live longer? I'll gladly switch places with you on that one (ROFL).
As for money management, my only point with regard to the blog post, is to question why this is a female thing — doesn't your son need good financial skills too?
Do you have a wife and children? Did you have a mom? Do you have any sisters? Do you have a job?
Maybe in another article in a different section there will be a discussion about sons and their financial education. It too is needed.
What's your point? If it's a question of whether I know and empathize with women (and productive) the answer is yes — far more than the vast majority of men, including feminist men (who are just wimps, going along with whatever the feminist activists say, and feminists don't speak for all women, regardless what they'd like to think).
Anyway, honestly ask yourself this question: If you saw a similar blog, talking about the importance of teaching sons how to handle finances (and no mention in the article about daughters) would you have a similar reaction? I suspect not — it would be more along the lines of "how sexist! What about the girls! What, you want to keep them barefoot and pregnant, dependent on their husbands?!"
So you assume that women are sexist!
Here we go with the "poor little me" that is the real reason why you are clogging up these blogs.
I have seen both men and women have an obvious lack of financial skill. All people: female, male, black, white, brown and purple need good role models in all the skills in life. This column, however, is focusing on women. I suggest you find a way of having your own column or blog to address the issues you think are relevant.
You may be surprised at the positive response.
No, I don't assume that women are "sexist," just that the culture is such that it's more likely to choose female over male. For example, let's say that company "x" had 90% men and 10% women. What do you think the response might be? Cries of "sexism" keeping women out. But, then let's say that company "y" has 90% women and 10% men. What do you think the response might be to that? Cries of "sexism?" I don't think so. Rather, they'd be more likely to be highlighted on the cover of a magazine somewhere for what a fine job they're doing.
And no, Linda, there's no "poor little me" to be found in anything I've written, anywhere. I personally am not affected by these things very much on a daily basis. It is merely my own objective analysis of the situation (e.g., with the example given above). You, on the other hand, have talked about how you've experienced "sexism" personally, and so if there's a "poor little me" in this discussion, it's you.
Anyway, obviously you're trying your best to get out of this conversation, because you're losing it and can't respond to my points, and resorting to insults-from-nowhere, so I'll leave you alone, for now. Feel free to go back to thinking whatever makes you feel good.
Thank you for your nasty closing comments. Your true spirit.
Oh yeah, right, Linda. And you've been quite the sweetness and nice dialog participant here, full of respect and courtesy. From your very first comment here, you've taken personal-attack shots at Don, and now you're just amazed that I might actually strike back. Oh, how offensive! If you want courtesy, then you'd best make at least some attempt at it yourself. Otherwise, deal with it.
You obviously think you are an expert in women's issues better than women themselves. You have done your in-depth, objective research and have found that women are SO WRONG about their lives, their feelings, their perceptions. You, yes, you, Don know better.
In this and the other Front Line blogs you have argued about everything, being overly condescending to begin with, and then when disagreed with, become more and more agitated. You, Don, you were the first one to volley a nasty shot in all cases.
Admit it — you are a true CLOSET MISOGYNIST. You cloak yourself in all the family-loving, Christian, conservative trappings, but in your heart you HAVE TO WIN EVERY ARGUEMENT, OR BEAT THE *** OUT OF ANY FEMALE THAT CROSSES YOU.
I would love to have a criminal psychologist examine your writings. What do you think, fellow readers?
I agree with Linda. You have some real passive/agressive control issues, Don.
Go for it, Linda, because if the psych person has his head on straight, he'll find nothing. Not a single woman who knows me in real life, thinks anything remotely even touching on that. But hey, keep trying to find some deep, dark, ugly secret about Don — you've been trying hard to do that throughout this entire comment section, rather than trying to do what you're supposed to be doing here, which is discussing and debating the topic of the blog post. But as I've said before, and I'll say it again: This is what bad women do, when they don't like someone's ideas: Try to pick apart the other person, rather than contend with the ideas. But hey, if you really want to get personal here, Linda, then tell us a bit about yourself, will you? Got any eating disorders going on there? Struggling with manic-depressive cycles? Sleeping disorders? Drug-alcohol problems? And what's your history in your dealings with men? Relationship with your father? Any really bad experiences you've had with men on a personal level? Apparently issues such as these are important for discussing . . . personal finance education for children, so please do share with us about your life.
Yeah, Don, what does all your rants have to do with the original subject matter? All I see is your uncontrolled anger.
It's been all you, from the beginning…
It's all been about your issues about this being for women, Don, and how you don't like it. You're devolving into your real, "dark ugly" self…
I think the moderator told us all to "Please Ignore Don" long before "Linda" came along…
Don, who said this was an argument that needed to be won? You. You lost. Get over it.

US consumer debt up $16.2 billion in JanuaryBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER
The AssociatEd ress | March 08,2013AP File Photo
A person uses a credit card in an ATM machine in Pittsburgh in January. Americans increased their borrowing in January to a record level.WASHINGTON Americans stepped up borrowing in January to buy cars and attend school, while staying cautious about using their credit cards.
Consumer borrowing rose $16.2 billion to a total of $2.8 trillion in January, the Federal Reserve said Thursday.
Thats the highest level on record.
A category that covers student loans and auto loans grew $16 billion following an $18.3 billion gain in December.
Isaac Lebwohl, an economist at Credit Suisse, said that his analysis of the monthly report indicates that almost 90 percent of the gain in that category came from student loans. The Fed does not separate out the auto and student loan data in the monthly report.
Consumers barely increased credit card debt in January, when Social Security taxes rose and lowered take-home pay for most workers.
A measure of credit card debt grew only $106.1 million after a $3.2 billion drop in December.
Credit card debt remains 17.2 percent below the peak set in June 2008. Analysts suspect consumers will stay cautious with their plastic this year, largely because of the tax increase.
The tax increase will leave a person earning $50,000 with about $1,000 less to spend in 2013. A household with two high-paid workers will have up to $4,500 less.
Still, other factors could offset the rise in taxes.
The job market has improved and pay is slowing increasing for many workers. The economy created 200,000 jobs a month from November through January, up from 150,000 in the previous three months.
On Friday, the government will issue the February jobs report.
Analyst forecast that employers added 152,000 jobs last month, although recent data suggest hiring may have been stronger.
The stock market has also surged this year, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average this week to a record high. And a housing recovery has helped lift home prices.
A separate Fed report Thursday showed Americans have regained the wealth they lost to the Great Recession and are increasingly taking on more debt.
Household wealth increased to $66.1 trillion in the October-December quarter, the report noted. Thats about 98 percent of the pre-recession peak. Household debt rose 2.4 percent, the sharpest gain in nearly five years.
The increases in stock and home prices since then mean Americans net worth has now topped the pre-recession peak of $67.4 trillion, private economists say.
Wealth had bottomed at $51.4 trillion in early 2009.
Household wealth, or net worth, reflects the value of assets like homes, stocks and bank accounts minus debts like mortgages and credit cards.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON The Federal Reserve plans to keep a key interest rate at a record low to support a U.S. Full StoryMILAN Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced Wednesday it will spin off sports car maker Ferrari...

All the companies give Nurses a free calendar.ReplyDelete
I end up buying a scheduler type one that's small enough to carry. Then I lose it, and lose interest in it, cuz I never have appointments with anyone!
Oh, Anne, that is so sad! I only say that because it's the same with me :(. We should make appointments with each other. At least put them on our calendars so we feel important!ReplyDelete
Well you guys can put question day down for Wednesdays and Sundays is challenge day :) I've had to do it myself so i don't forget!ReplyDelete
I'm the opposite i have a lot of things in my scheduler and i really wish i had less :(

2. Chistmas eve is when French-Canadians have their big Christmas meal, open presents, etc. And since my hubby is of French-Canadian origin and I'm Jewish and we all either atheists or agnostics, we do the big bash on Christmas eve.

4. Favourite nut: walnuts.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, suzi, and all your readers!!!
First of all, Merry Christmas to you and your family Suzi. I'm so glad I found your blog this year, and look forward to LOTS of great posts, links, photos and questions in 2011!!ReplyDelete
1) I always get a calendar for Christmas, so nope, don't have it yet, and don't know the theme.
2) No, nothing specific. This year, we'll be travelling to my parents place Christmas eve, and won't get there until late.
3) I'm a big fruit and veggie fan. I don't count, but try to get one or both in at every meal or snack.
4) My favorite nut? My husband! Kidding, kidding....love cashews! (and my husband, but that's beside the point of this questions!)
5) I feel on track to being healthy now, so won't change anything, just commit to staying on course into the new year and beyond.
Merry Christmas Suzi's readers!!!
1. I use the google calendar. The theme is a picture of the Alamo at night. :)ReplyDelete
2. We used to open one gift but we've already opened all the gifts.
3. I try to get in as many as possible without a certain number in mind.

5. What are you changing...? Much less sugar, more activity, LOTS of water
1. Do you already have a new calendar? What's the theme? Do you usually buy yours or wait for a freebie?ReplyDelete
In MN we have this wonderful weather calendar. It is informative, too, about phenology, highs, lows, and things like that. Also includes star charts (can you tell I am a nerd??)
2. Do you have any Christmas eve traditions??
Nice dinner with the family who are able to make it. Often times we go to midnight Mass, now that the kids are grown. Great music and a great service.
3. How many fruits/veggies do you try to eat a day?? Or do you try??
Yes, I eat at least 4-5 a day.
4.What is your favorite nut?
5. What are you going to be changing to make sure 2011 will be your healthiest?
Make one hour of time everyday (on my calendar) for me for exercise. I also will ride my nemesis as often as I can.
I love Wednesday's Questions:)ReplyDelete
1. We have a New York Calendar, a souvenir of our holiday. I also have a cute doggy calendar from my Bezzy Mate, she bought me the diary to match it too.
2. Ralph and I are making new traditions all the time as we are still sort of newlywed's. Christmas Eve is spent quietly with a takeaway and a drink or two.
3. Four or five.
4. Oh boy, do I have to choose just one? I love most nuts, especailly my husband...sorry, couldn't resist. If I had to pick just one it would be cashew.
5.2001 will be healthier than 2010.
I lost the plot when I got depressed, but I am taking steps to get back into a healthier exsistence.
Thank you for being
"A FABULOUS BLOGGER" you are an inspiration and I love that we have similar idea's, I just need more will power..
Happy Christmas to you and your Ralph, from me and my Ralph:)
1. Yes. A Week at a Glance. Exciting, huh?ReplyDelete
2. No. Except I make crab cakes and finger food [hummus & veggies] and we will watch a movie.
3. I eat 1-3 fruits. 3-5 veggies +
4. Cashews. I avoid them therefore. Besides, they're not really a nut, are they? I get unsalted pistaccios from Trader Joe's that are my current favorites.
5. Get a Britta water filter on the kitchen faucet.
1. LOL, I was just filling out my new calendar about an hour ago! There's no theme to it, but it does have separate slots for everyone in the family instead of one large block for each day.ReplyDelete
2. Every Christmas Eve, our family goes down to the Pike Place Market in Seattle and get fresh mini donuts and a baked treat my our dog. It happened one year because my stepson's mother never came to pick him up for visitation and my husband and I took him out to cheer him up and now it's a family tradition!
3. I don't make an extra effort to eat fruits, but I sure should!
4. Cashews!
5. I need to find a new personal fitness goal. Like another triathlon or maybe a half marathon. I WILL lose these last 20 lbs in 2011!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
1. My hubby buys it for me... it's happy bunny... it's so funny!ReplyDelete
2. Growing up we did, now we celebrate xmas eve with my cousins.
3. This is my downfall, I don't really like f & v :( but I do my best!
4. peanuts!
5. Being a new mom, I have been extremely tired and doing everything for everyone. Going to work on myself, enough sleep is #1!
Merry Christmas!
I'm new to your blog but I thought I'd play anyway :)ReplyDelete
1.I do - Twilight (I know, I know I am shamed) My kids always get me one.
2. I have always opened presents on Christmas Eve and wore our new PJ's to bed.
3. In all honesty probably 3 most days but sometimes do better than that.
4. Raw Almonds
5. I am starting a journey to lose 100 pounds, so there will be loads throughtout the year.
Ha! I went to the junkyard last night and the old man gave me a classic truck calendar!ReplyDelete
1. Not yet. I usually get one as a christmas gift so I've held off.ReplyDelete
2. Mulled wine and relaxing and staring at the lights twinkling.
3. 2 fruits a day...sometimes I only get one. I usually have a massive salad for lunch to get in a lot of veggies.
5. I'm hoping to continue with the exercise and eating plan I've bene on for a few months now. To try and stay away from processed foods and eat as healthy as we can. I feel great and I want to it to continue :)

When she was sad, the world would be shrouded in darkness and the lands covered in floods of rain. Whenever anger rose, flames would spout from the ground as it cried out in fury along side her. A calm desert flashed to a battlefield at her very whim, and even the harshest of times was silenced by her wishes. When I was sad, she was sad. My anger led to her anger, and as much as she tried to suppress it, it continued to grow. She was unstoppable..and yet, she was the most fragile of people. Rains fell like her tears, and flames flickered with each frustration or flash of rage. This girl..she was told her insight of her own mind was unparalleled..and yet, she never saw who she was herself enough to understand why others cared so much. Rains poured when she left, but they were not her's.
I know of a man..no, I know of a boy. One you cannot tell to give up. If anything gets in his way, it's moved aside and set to be resolved. He never gives up, and through the ferocity of his own abilities, he gets what he wants and wishes for nothing more. It's almost inspirational each time I see this boy do something incredible, and my emotions waver with each bump in the road he experiences. He knows far too little about the workings of his own world to care about the consequences of his actions. Any punishment he is given, he takes; that is how he learns. This boy is strong..far stronger than someone like him should be. It's this strength where he pulls his courage from, knowing he can somehow get past whatever is stopping him in order to pull ahead. I know a boy like this.
I transcribed Clay's rant about life - probably one of the best monologues I've ever heard -
Numb some call it. Now me and Jesus, we like to feel the pain.
Tell me doc, did some of those painkillers protect her against you? You know, the pain…of you. Day in, and day out, being there…with that face. Not knowing what to say, no caring anymore. Not even knowing that you'll probably only care about her when it's finally too late. Forgetting about all those desperate, those desperate years you spent alone – your barren years, when no woman would even consider resting her tired head on your shaky little shoulder.
Stinking of belly semen…why even wipe?
And then, when you finally get one these *mocked fanfare*, covered in pieces of tail that have been built up as the grand trophy in your nothing life, you try desperately to keep it. Not to protect it – but to horde it! To keep it away from the other wolves and jackals circling your territory. And you realize, all too soon, that you're not good enough! And maybe there was a jerk-off called Darwin after all, and that you never acknowledged his existence, because you knew deep inside that you were really what you feared you were – weak and passive, and ultimately broken by the ones who were made the fittest…and that through your weaknesses, you build up a poison, that poisoned others around you…that you loved. And the only true justice was to let those dominant jackals feed on you…survive off you."
Your outgoing nature, understanding of others, and directness make you ENCOURAGING.
You want others to do well for themselves, and you generally believe in their abilities.

You have a healthy respect for people who have earned what they have, and you strive to be similar to successful others.

Sometimes, in the course of being encouraging, you can be a bit judgmental—this can make it more difficult for others to follow your advice.
While you are an expert at getting the most out of the world and taking advantage of many experiences, you might gain some insight by taking the time to be alone, reflect on things, or just observe the goings-on in the world.

Defying convention, you are very innovative, and you have a vivid imagination.
The look of things is important to you, and you have a keen eye for aesthetic beauty in multiple arenas.
You have a strong interest in what is new and exciting—and that includes forging ahead with new ideas, not simply discovering what is already out there.

You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control.
Found a great site for reading up on whatever personality type you happen to be, with follow-up links to other sites that expand on jobs that are good for your type, your strengths, and weaknesses (and how you can possibly fix them). For Tony, ESTP, The Promoter - http://www.keirsey.com/4temps/promoter.asp For JT, INFP, The Healer - http://www.keirsey.com/4temps/healer.asp Personally, I have been highly interested in this personality type business, and after reading JT's posts about his own and what he thinks about it, I was refueled and took it upon myself to learn anything about my own and what it says about my friends' personality types.
I have knobby-knees, and I don't like 'em.
One generally leads to the other.
After reading Jt's post about his own Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I began to re-read up on my own, ISFJ. I was taken back when I first read about my own indicator, because it was fairly close to how I've always lived my life . I plan to read up on more of this personality type, cause I'm sure there is a lot of literature on all of the different types. To anyone that can read this, I would recommend to find out your own personality type and see how well it connects with you.
As a small sample, I'm posting my own personality type's description -
I – Introversion preferred to Extraversion: ISFJs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy).
S – Sensing preferred to iNtuition: ISFJs tend to be more concrete than abstract. They focus their attention on the details rather than the big picture, and on immediate realities rather than future possibilities.
F – Feeling preferred to Thinking: ISFJs tend to value personal considerations above objective criteria. When making decisions, they often give more weight to social implications than to logic.
J – Judgment preferred to Perception: ISFJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability.
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."—Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan

Originally written on It's Always Sunny in Detroit | Last updated 10/20/14
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jason Heyward is only 22 years old, but he's a grown-a$$ man. At 6'5″ 240 pounds, he's an absolute beast of a behemoth on the baseball field. There aren't many NFL tight ends that could go back on a fly ball and display the ridiculous hand-eye coordination that Heyward did today when he robbed a home run from the Yankees' Raul Ibanez. Heyward, regarded as one of the best prospects in the game, is looking to build off a disappointing second season in 2011. He was hobbled with injuries and played in only 128 games finishing with 14 home runs, 42 RBIs and a meager .227 batting average. It's apparent that he's been putting in the work this spring to improve, both at the plate and in the field, as evidenced by that grab. Propers to Sports Grid

All functions previously addressed by the Physical and Capital Planning unit have been incorporated into the Physical Facilities organization. In the coming weeks, this website will be decommissioned, and the information contained here will be integrated into the Energy and Construction website. The structure and appearance of the information will be adapted to fit within the existing Energy and Construction website and to reflect the updated organizational structure of the unit.
Purdue University's Repair and Rehabilitation Program (R&R) has existed for more than 30 years. The program is part of Purdue's overall Enterprise Risk Management Program and is focused on Purdue's academic and administrative facilities and the campus infrastructure that supports these facilities. The academic and administrative buildings and infrastructure on the West Lafayette campus have a current replacement value estimated at $4.370 billion. The total replacement value, across the entire plant including Athletics and Housing and Food Service facilities exceeds $5.9 billion. Physical and Capital Planning along with staff from Physical Facilities estimates that the academic and administrative facilities and infrastructure have a deferred R&R backlog of just over $428 million.
The R&R Program for the West Lafayette Campus has evolved over the years to become a comprehensive, data-driven program. In January 2005, the Physical Facilities department implemented an inspection program that included Senior Level Engineers, Architects and other highly experienced staff. This group identified as R&R Component Champions is charged with the physical inspection of all academic and administrative facilities, documenting deficiencies as defined by the program. The inspection documents, prepared by the Component Champions, include the type of deficiency, a project scope to correct the deficiency and an estimate for the total cost of the project. In many cases Component Champions use photos to assist in the documentation, which also assists when conducting future inspections. The information from the inspection documents is entered into an R&R master database and scanned. This information is used by the program, during future inspections, by campus planning staff, when preparing reports for University administration and by the State of Indiana as required for the overall management of the program. Additionally, it's through these inspections that the R&R Program is able to document and report the annual growth of deferred R&R, which over the last 3 years has averaged $45 million.

Alzheimer's DiseaseD-CycloserineDonepezil
SIR: Beyond the well-established cholinergic deficits, Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects a number of other neurotransmitter systems, including those using the excitatory amino acids, aspartate and glutamate.1 Activation of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of the glutamate receptor appears to be involved in the processes of learning and memory.2 Loss of presynaptic excitatory amino acids (EAAs) and their postsynaptic receptors suggests that glutamatergic terminal degeneration and deficient EAAs may be related to the symptoms of AD.3
d-Cycloserine, an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis at high doses, exhibits partial agonist activity at the glycine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor even at low doses and readily crosses the blood—brain barrier. This partial agonist activity has provided a means to enhance NMDA neurotransmission while avoiding the neurotoxic effect of excessive activation.
In two previous studies we looked at the cognitive effects of d-cycloserine at several doses in subjects with AD who were not taking donepezil.4,5d-Cycloserine was associated with significant improvement in scores (comparable to that achieved with cholinesterase inhibitors) on the cognitive subscale of the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS-cog) when given at a dose of 100 mg/day, but not at the lower doses of 15 mg or 50 mg.
We present now the findings from a small, open-label case series of 5 subjects with AD (2 females and 3 males) treated for 1 month with d-cycloserine 150 mg/day. Each had been taking the cholinesterase inhibitor donepezil (4 subjects at 10 mg/day and 1 subject at 5 mg/day) for at least 8 months (range 8—16 months).
Baseline and 1-month assessments included the MMSE, ADAS-cog, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC), and Physical Self-Maintenance Scale (PSMS). Each subject had a caregiver who completed necessary evaluations and supervised medication compliance. At baseline, the mean Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score was 17.2 (range 11—26) and the mean ADAS-cog score was 25.51 (range 9.7—41.7).
After 1 month we examined four outcome measures (MMSE, ADAS-cog, IADL, and PSMS) by means of a related-sample t-test. All 5 subjects showed improvement on the ADAS-cog, while 4 improved on the MMSE. There was no statistically significant effect found with any outcome measures examined at follow-up, although the cognitive measures did show a statistical trend (MMSE, P=0.1; ADAS-cog, P=0.08). No side effects were reported. Our findings support the hypothesis that the addition of d-cycloserine 150 mg/day is associated with possible modest cognitive improvement in AD subjects already taking donepezil.
However, no firm conclusions can be drawn from this case series, which was limited in terms of its small size, short duration, lack of a placebo control group, and unblinded dosage. Further study is needed to determine whether this dose of d-cycloserine adds clinically significant benefit for AD patients already taking cholinesterase inhibitors.

Hi Denise,
Welcome to Health Central. Let me try to answer your question.
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system which is comprised of the nerves of the brain and spinal cord. In that way, it does affect the spine, specifically the spinal cord. You can read more about that here and at Merck Manuals.
Not every person with MS has demyelination in the spine. Some may only have lesions present in the brain. Where the lesions are located will affect different functions of the nerves of the central nervous system.
If that doesn't provide the information you were seeking, please come back and give more specific ideas on what information you are looking for.
I thought my lower back had ruptured again because my back pain is intense. I can't stand or sit very long and when I lay down I have to stand again because of the pain. I was diagnosed with Ms 2 years ago, but the doctor said I have had it probably 20 years or more so I am in the advanced stages. Could you tell me if any one you have had contact with is experiencing this type of pain and what it's course has been.
Thank you, Laurie
Laurie, I was dx'd with MS back in 1993 with no sympotms of MS at all... 10 years later, I had a stroke which affected my right side... I have severe back pain too but mine is in the upper spine and sometimes in my lower spine... Everyone dx'd with MS doesn't have the same pain or symptoms... We are all different in how the MS progresses.... Just because your doctor thinks you had it more than 20 years doesn't mean you are in the advanced stages.... There are people that have had MS there entire lives and never knew they had MS until they died.. I just read that a couple days ago...
Once I had my stroke, my MS progressed rapidly... So everyone progresses differently.. Some go their entire lives with it with no problems and others progress very rapidly like I did...
I hope this helps... Take care and keep seeing your Neuro and taking your injections as your neuro says...
Hi Laurie, I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago also. When i look back now i know i have been experiencing symtoms for many years now but, i also have Fibromyalgia and Arthritis i allways thought it was that. I recently am having very severe pain that just wont go away. its in my lower back and up. I thought i had broken a rib or something and ended up going to the ER it was so bad . I try and pinpoint a paticular place were the pain is comming from and there isnt any.. its like ive pulled a muscle and broke a rib.. i am taking my all sorts of medications for it along with my injections but it just seems to be getting worse..Unfortunatly i do not have a good dr that i can go to so im kind of on my own. I am sorry for your pain but am glad to know that this to is a part of the MS nightmare because i cannot afford to go to the ER again.. but at least i know what the pain is. Thank you , and god bless Rita
Hello Denise
I could take multiple paths to answer your question here because I am not sure if you are asking of MS can cause problems with your back or if you are asking about lesions of the spinal cord. I am going to take a guess and tell you about spinal lesions.
Multiple Sclerosis is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system which includes the brain and the spinal cord. So in answer to your question, absolutely, MS does affect the spine in that this is the place where lesions may exist.
In an article entitled, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) of the Spinal Cord, Brendan P. Coleman, MS states that: "In as many as 90% of MS patients, the spinal cord is involved. It is estimated that approximately 35% of MS patients exhibit spinal symptoms only. The cervical spinal cord is twice as likely to be involved as the lower levels."
When they begin the process of doing the diagnostic tests to see if you have MS, they will mostly likely do an MRI scan of both your brain and your cervical spine, which is basically the upper part of the spine including the neck area.
Some people have lesions only in their brain like me, some have lesions in both their brain and their spine, and some, as the stats above show, have lesions in their spine only.
There are many discussions on-line about which symptoms are produced by either brain or spinal lesions. Here is one such discussion.
Wanted to point out that I am just a patient who has MS...I hold no medical degree, so this would make an excellent question to pose to your doctor or neurologist.
Thank you for your question. I hope this helps some!
I have been having pain on the right side of my head when bending over,straining,rasing my voice turning to my right side in bed,picking anything up etc.Also having trouble with my hearing, loss a lot of my middle tone range.Having trouble with my bladder,will start going on the way to the bathroom with out warning and don't know I have to go till I need to get there.My scalp and forehead is numb to the touch.Also sometime it feels like something is tight around my back and causes a lot of pain.Had an MRI of the brain and they said all was normal,they were looking for a brain tumor.Does this sound like I may have ms.Seeing a neurologist in Nov.
Thank You

This is all of the symptoms i was having except severe headaches in my eyeball all the way back in my head..i thought i was having a stroke..they done all the MS tests and they were negative..BUT they did diagnois me with Chiari malformation, Which is a portion of the brain falling down into your spinal column causing the spinal cord to be compressed... have your ns take another look at your mri...they though I had ms for years til they figured it out..Good Luck!

After a 4-2 victory Wednesday over the Gwinnett Gladiators, there was much praise doled out in the Fort Wayne locker room for the players assigned by Norfolk of the American Hockey League.
A little different than it was a week ago, eh?
"He's obviously a huge kid (at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds) and he can skate," coach Al Sims said of Corey Elkins, who had the game winner. "He can fly. He went through them three or four times and didn't have any luck until that last one."
(Click here to see some great photos from the game.)
As for the game-winning goal, Elkins said: "Luca (Caputi) made a real nice play in the middle to get me the puck and I just had a bunch of speed going," Elkins said. "I made my move to the net, got my stick in there, and it was a good goal."
Sims lauded the defensive effort of Caputi, by the way, which was something that had come under fire when he was scratched for a couple games in December.
Marco Cousineau made 28 saves for the victory.
"It was nice tonight," Cousineau said. "To be honest with you, when I went down to Norfolk I thought I might play one, but you never know. I worked hard down there and I was ready to play. The only thing, the question mark, was 'Mentally, am I ready to go back in and do what I have to do?' I did tonight.
"I just showed up tonight and played the game that I play. I wanted to enjoy the game and feel what it's like to be out there again. This is why we get paid: To play hockey. I'm really happy my teammates showed up tonight. We played well and guys blocked shots."
