Personal and Community Blacklists
Sometimes there are people you just don't want to hear from. Whether you're sick of telemarketers or want to block certain individuals from reaching you by phone, Ooma's blacklist features can help. With community blacklists to block out known nuisances, and individual blacklists to help protect your privacy from specific callers, you have total control over when your phone rings -- and more importantly, when it doesn't.
Table of Contents
- What are blacklists? How do they work?
- Is the blacklist feature available to all users?
- How do I add a number to my personal blacklist?
- How do I remove a number from my personal blacklist?
- What are the different options for what happens to a call from a blacklisted number?

What are blacklists? How do they work?
Blacklists are lists of phone numbers that you would prefer didn't reach you. Ooma offers two types of blacklists: community and personal.
Community blacklist
The community blacklist contains thousands of phone numbers that are known sources of spam and telemarketing calls. When you enable the community blacklist on your account, you've instantly blocked phone numbers that the Ooma community has collectively found to be invasive or annoying. Think of it as putting up an impenetrable wall between your phone and unwanted calls -- a wall that is constantly growing stronger as community feedback rolls in.
Personal blacklist
The personal blacklist is your list of phone numbers that you simply don't want to hear from. You can add and remove numbers from the personal blacklist whenever you'd like, for whatever reason you'd like. Any number that is currently on your personal blacklist will be blocked from reaching you.
How community and personal blacklists work together
When you add a phone number to your personal blacklist, you're asked to give a reason for blocking the caller. If you list the reason as "personal", nothing further will happen. Otherwise, as you and other Ooma users add numbers to your personal blacklists and mark them as sources of various "phone spam," Ooma aggregates that information to keep the community blacklist as up-to-date as possible. After confirming that widely-blocked numbers are legitimate sources of spam, Ooma adds those numbers to the community blacklist, saving other people the trouble of ever receiving an unwanted call from those numbers.
You can have the community blacklist, the personal blacklist, or both turned on at any time. You can also differentiate between what happens to numbers that are blocked via the community blacklist and numbers that are blocked via the personal blacklist:
You can turn on the community blacklist, your personal blacklist, or both by following these instructions:
- Log into your My Ooma account
- Navigate to Blacklists under the Preferences tab
- Decide whether you want to enable to the community blacklist, your personal blacklist, or both using the interface pictured above
- Select what will happen to calls that come in from blacklisted numbers
Alternately, you can subscribe to the community blacklist while you are setting up your My Ooma account with the Feature Setup Wizard! Under "Enable Privacy Enhancements," you can turn the community blacklist on by selecting a privacy level of Medium or High.
Is the blacklist feature available to all users?
No. The community and personal blacklists are only available to Ooma Premier members.
How do I add a number to my personal blacklist?
You can add a number to your personal blacklist by clicking on
in the blacklist options. Once the process is initiated, you will be asked for information about the number you're adding:
Note: If the reason for adding a number is identified as personal, that information won't be aggregated for the community blacklist.
How do I remove a number from my personal blacklist?
You can remove a number from your personal blacklist by clicking on the phone number you wish to remove to bring up the Manage Blacklist Item window.
Select Delete from the window to remove the number.
What are the different options for what happens to a call from a blacklisted number?
When you enable a community or personal blacklist, you get to choose what happens to those calls. No matter what you choose, your phone at home will never ring:
- Sent to Voicemail will send all blacklisted numbers straight to voicemail
- Call Blocked Message will redirect callers to a recorded message informing them their call was blocked
- Number Disconnected Message will redirect callers to a recorded message informing them that your number has been disconnected
- Continuous Ring will cause the call to ring for a period of time and then the caller will hear a busy signal.
Can I select what happens for individual numbers in my personal blacklist?
No. You cannot select what happens to individual numbers in your personal blacklist. Your selection will be applied to all numbers in your personal blacklist.
Is there a limit to how many numbers I can have on my personal blacklist?
There is a limit of 256 numbers on your personal blacklist.
How do wildcard characters work for personal blacklists?
You can use a wildcard character to prevent all incoming calls from a range of phone numbers or even an area code. This will help you combat telemarketers that call from different numbers within the same prefix or area code. Previously, you could only address these annoyances by blocking the numbers one at a time as they contacted you. With wildcard characters, you can stop these calls at the source with just one entry in your blacklist.
To use wildcard characters, follow the steps to add a new number to your personal blacklist. Then, type the area code you would like to block followed by a *. For example, to block the area code 212 you would type "212*" and then save the item. If you wish to block a specific prefix, such as 212-555, you would enter "212555*" and then save the item.

2 of the 7 courses were superb (grouse bon bon and cake dessert), the rest was very average!
I booked with the merchant 2 months in advance of our visit, when we arrived for our dinner we were told that the restaurant was closed-nobody informed us of this prior to our arrival!! I emailed a complaint to Andrew Pledger (Managing Director), who requested that we rebook through him personally and he would arrange for us to be treated accordingly for our inconvenience. I informed him of my intention to revisit on Friday 10th October and waited 7 days without reply!! I had to cancel my childcare arrangements for that evening and send another request to Parkhouse's central bookings email address in the hope of a reply! I visited on Wednesday 8th October. The food was pretty average (and very overpriced) the service was not great and we realised when we got home that we weren't even offered our cocktail which was included in the voucher!! Not happy at all and £75 poorer!!

The truth about secrets
Secrets kills us. They eat at our souls and disrupt our emotions in a negative way. We very rarely feel good about secrets because by nature we are social creatures that rely and need each other to survive. Collaboration is what put us atop of the food chain and that means we must share. I'm certain the feeling we often get when we hold secrets is our genetic code telling us that secrets are not cool and generally don't lead to ideal outcomes.
So it got me thinking about the nature of secrets and the different types of them.
There are many types of secrets, but these 2 are interesting:
- Secrets that hide things we have done for fear of judgement or persecution.
- Secrets that hide things which are ideas we want to benefit from at the exclusion of others.
These are 2 types of secrets we should avoid.
The first one should be avoided because we shouldn't do anything dodgy, and we shouldn't be ashamed of anything that is out of our control.
The second is counter intuitive. Our emotional need to share secrets is our DNA telling us it will create more for everyone. A shared idea can often be improved, a shared idea creates a team to build it, a shared idea increases access to resources, a shared idea creates a market place and a bigger pie for all. Stealing ideas is not the same as stealing chestnuts. If we exchange ideas, we both end up with more ideas than we started with.
Startup blog maths:
Sharing > Secrets
The marketing flip
Once upon a time brands made stuff and told people why they should want it.
Then: Tell and sell.
Now we need to remember that our people need to be involved from the start of the project to create mutual ownership.
Now: Share the process.

I want to be pregnant again? Is that normal?
While I know I'm going to be mourning for Katie Jane forever, dh and I are SO ready to be parents. ?We've talked about ttc again once the doctors give us the green light. ?Since we know (more or less) what to look for the next go-around, our new doctor (who appears to have adopted us) has a plan already.
I know I'm going to have to have another c-section and be a high risk pregnancy and that truly anything can happen.
Maybe I'm just thinking of this to stay out of reality a bit longer.?
It is definitely normal to feel this way now. It's a good sign that you're moving forward even though you'll obviously never forget/be ok with what happened. Just be aware that you will probably go through several more phases of grief and there will be a lot of emotional ups and downs to come. Let yourself feel what comes naturally, and don't be ashamed or afraid to grieve hard at times when you need to. It might be a good idea to see a professional who deals with grief and loss, so you will be prepared for what may come next and know how to handle it most effectively.
For right now though, focus on the future and let yourself be hopeful. There's nothing wrong with that at all.
If you ever need anything, let me know.
Hi TW. I am a newbie but I have been lurking for a while. I am SO sorry about your loss. I can not imagine what you and your husband are going through but you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I personally don't think that it is crazy for you to want to be pregnant again. Everyone is different and there are some who may not be able to think about TTC right away after a loss. Of course your daughter will always be greatly missed, but there so much life for you and you husband to live, especially together with family.
I truly wish you two nothing but the best and will continue to keep your family in my prayers.

4 Major iPhone User Complaints Requiring a Fix; Can iOS 8 Address These?
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Pavithra Rathinavel | May 8, 2014 5:38 PM EST
At Worldwide Developers Conference 2014 (WWDC 2014), Apple is set to announce the iOS 8 update for iPhones and iPads and the new OS X 10.10 software for Mac users.
Apple's new iPhone 5S is displayed at an Apple shop in Tokyo's Ginza shopping district in this September 20, 2013 file photo. As the smartphone action shifts to the mass market, leaders Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Apple Inc are under pressure to make their high-end phones more affordable to revive sales. And that may spell trouble for already-softening margins. To match Analysis SAMSUNG-ELEC/SMARTPHONES REUTERS/Yuya Shino/Files
It is quite a routine that iOS updates usually come with a new iPhone hardware. If rumors were true, iOS 8 will be accompanied by the announcement of iPhone 6. Notably, the look of the upcoming iOS 8 will not be any different from that of iOS 7. The new update will bring a number of new features and fixes to iPhones and iPads.
Readers who are interested in knowing the full set of features expected from iOS 8 update - Click here.
Here are some of the crucial features the new iOS 8 should house to fix some of the biggest iPhone complaints as listed by Gotta be mobile:
Uncluttered Notifications
The notifications in iPhones are quite clumsy owing there are two different notifications panel. Also, getting rid of old notifications is a two-tap process that gives a very exhaustive list of overlooked notifications on the "All panel." Google's "mobile notifications" with Android operating system is by far the best out of all the mobile operating systems. It provides only a single panel of notifications and supports expanded views to get the quick look of notification details. If rumors were true, Apple might kill the second notification panel entirely.
Expand the TouchID Functionality
According to recent reports, the TouchID (a.k.a fingerprint scanner) feature of iPhone 5S will be introduced to the upcoming iPads like iPad Mini and iPad Air, along with the iPhone 6 expected to be released this fall. Apple's TouchID is going to be part of more Apple devices and it is only natural that Apple expands the functionality of TouchID to do more than logging the user without a pass-code.
With the current TouchID, users can unlock the iPhone and even make purchases in the iTunes Store. Note that pass-code is still required at some point. As Gotta be mobile puts it, "It's time to remove the pass code needed feature for TouchID, especially for purchases. Either TouchID is secure enough to use for purchases or it's not."
The site also suggested it is a good idea to use TouchID with other apps that require a password to log-in. Also, password managers should be equipped to do the job of logging the user in with a fingerprint instead of a password.
Third-party Integration
Apple users know for sure that the company does not allow its users to install third-party keyboards. Although Apple tweaked the keyboard with iOS 7, it is still not up to the mark. It is time Apple let the users know when the "shift key" is on. The problem with "shift key" is only an example, but third-party integration would bring the required flexibility if Apple relaxes the rule. But if iPhone users need a new keyboard, they have to use a dedicated app to type with that keyboard of their choice and then copy the content to another app.
With iOS 8 update, if Apple could tone down the third-party rules, iOS users might see the same level of freedom the stock Android and Samsung keyboards users enjoy.
Unambiguous Passcode Recovery
The most common question that Apple users constantly look for answers by searching online is, "How to reset an iPhone, iPad or iPod's pass code?" Although users can backup and restore the iPhone or iPad to remove the pass code, this is an annoying and redundant process, especially when the device is activation locked to an Apple ID. In OS X 10.7 and higher versions of the software, users can reset the administrator password using an Apple ID. As Gotta Be Mobile suggested, Apple could add a similar alternative to iOS 8 that would help users to reset the pass-code on their locked devices.
Do you have any other suggestions or complaints that Apple should address?

New Grad looking for advice
- 0Apr 6, '08 by reimundijanetHello, I'm a ADN student nurse from P.R and I'm about to graduate in May and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I need to have a permanent P.R( Puerto Rico) license to take the NCLEX or can I take it with a temporary license or without a license. Also I was wondering how much is the salary for a new grad in Stamford CT or is it better to get some experience in P.R then move to Stamford. See I'm confused can anyone give me some advice.
- 0Aug 3, '08 by corjen1226I just recently graduated from the Inter American University of Puerto Rico. I contacted the depatment of public health here in CT and I was told that as long as my school was accredited that I can apply for licensure and take the NCLEX without the P.R. license.
- 0May 21, '09 by ChanelCinqi am interested in the universidad interamericana de puerto rico but i want to make sure i would not have any issues at all when i return to ca.
i can't send messages yet because i don't have enough posts. i would love to drill those of you that went to universidad interamericana de puerto rico like corjen1226.
how much did the program cost? i can't find the tuition anywhere online but i don't read or speak spanish. is it an issue to not understand spanish? i know the program is in english. how long was the program exactly? i already have a ba in french. yeah too bad it was not in spanish.
anyone who attended universidad interamericana de puerto rico please, please email me
thank you in advance.
mod note. please do not post email addresses as per terms of serviceLast edit by Silverdragon102 on May 21, '09 : Reason: TOS
- 4May 22, '09 by corjen1226To all those interested in attending the Inter American Univ. of Puerto Rico. First thing that you need to understand are the cultural differences. Everything in Puerto Rico moves at an alarmingly slow pace compared to the states. People are much more relaxed and never in a rush (except when driving). Do not bother to call the school service offices (admissions, registration, etc) they wont have answers for you. You need to call 787-250-1912. You can choose the english option and ask an operator to give you the number to the school of nursing. An advisor there will tell you what you need to do. You can print and mail an application like you would for any other university. Admissions is pretty much automatic, if you can pass the classes you can get your BSN in two and a half years depending on how many general education credits you transfer. The school is not too ddifficult but it is extreemly time consuming. Since it is an accelerated trimester program your clinicals can run from 4-8 hours a few times per week and thats not including you lecture and lab times. You will pay per credit, not a fixed tuition per trimester. Depending on how many labs and clinicals you take per trimester it will run you between $1600-$3500 per trimester including fees. Books are seperate. You will need to buy a clinical uniform (approx $45), a name tag (approx $7), non slip white shoes, and she university patch to sew to your uniform. You also need a health certificate. To get one you need to go to a physician that will test you for TB ($30) and send you to a lab for a VDRL blood test ($12). Once you go back with the VDRL results, if you test negative for TB and VDRL he will issue you a health certificate. All students will need to show evidence of Hep B vaccination series before being allowed on a clinical site. You will start clinicals your first trimester. And lastly all students need a certificate of good conduct. This is a certificate that states that you have no criminal record. To get one you will need to go to the police main headquarters in San Juan, the university will have directions, all you need is $1.50 for the two stamps that go on the certificate and you SS#. Both the health certificate and the certificate of good conduct can only be attained in PR, you cant get them state side. Plan on arriving at least a month before the begining of classes because you will need to meet with an advisor at the nursing school in order to be cleared to register for classes and the good sections go fast. Over all I think its a good school for those who want to graduate fast. However, it is alot to learn in a very short time and you need to be motivated to do alot of reading and self teaching. If you dont graduate at the top of your class you will have a hard time with the boards. I graduate with a 3.97 and passed the NCLEX the first time. Those students with GPA's lower than 3.0 will have a very hard time with their boards. As far as having issues with licensing in your particular state that is something to discuss with your local board of nursing. Some states will consider Puerto Rico educated nurses "foreign nurses." There are loop holes so dont be discouraged. Florida for example will not license nurses educated in PR unless they go through the CGFNS. There were many students in my graduating class with plans to return to Florida. They applied through a state that would license them ( NY, WI, CT, and many more) and then if they passed their boards later had their licenses endorsed by Florida. Post again if you have any questions.
- 0May 24, '09 by ChanelCinqQuote from corjen1226Thanks for all the info however 2 and 1/2 years does not seem accelerated. All the other ABSN programs run from 12 months to 18 months with the average program about 15 months. If an ADN is 24 months an ABSN needs to be faster than 24 months.Admissions is pretty much automatic, if you can pass the classes you can get your BSN in two and a half years depending on how many general education credits you transfer.
You were there for 2 and 1/2 years but did you already have Bachelors?
I was under the impression that for students who already had a Bachelors in any discipline (mine was French, but it doesnt matter) that a second Bachelors in Nursing would take 5 trimesters at Universidad Interamericana. Is this wrong?
I am having a hard time getting information from the school and a lot of emails I send come back returned.
- 1May 24, '09 by corjen1226This program takes approx 2 1/2 years for those students that may have some college credits but do not have a degree. The curriculum is made for fresh out of high school seniors but it is a very big load as far as classes so the only ones that graduate in the 2 1/2 years are the ones that transfer classes. It is other wise impossible to finish on time and stick to the curriculum. There are a few reasons why the programs take so long for being an accelerated program. This program is not designed for those who already have degrees. If you have degree, many of the classes will not transfer. If you have already taken your science courses it wont matter because the science courses are integrated into the nursing classes. You learn it all at the same time so it does not reduce the number of classes you have to take. There are no pre req's. This program was created to meet the demand for new nurses in PR. The island has a very severe shortage of nurses. This program is like taking a 4 year degree and finishing in in 2 1/2. There were a few students in my graduating class that has BA's and still graduated in 2 1/2 years. Also, INTER is a christian university and therefore the general ed requirements are different than those you would have taken at a secular university and some wont transfer. The web site is hard to navigate if you dont read spanish. http://www.metro.inter.edu/facultad/...elorDegree.pdf This is the link for the school of nursing curriculum, and its in english. It list all the classes you need to take to graduate. Another thing worth mentioning, its hard to get ahead on the nursing classes because the school has a very limited number english speaking professors and therefore only offer the nursing courses during their designated trimester. That means that if fundamentals of nursing is offered in the trimester from august-october then you can only take it during that time. If you fail you have to wait until the next academic year to take that course. The trimesters run from August 1st-October 31st, November- Feburary (longest because of the holidays), and March- May. If you take general classes in the summer it will free up time during the trimester. It is very confusing. Post again if you have any other questions. The school web site is www.metro.inter.edu
- 0May 24, '09 by ChanelCinqcorjen1226 thank you so much for the info. That link with to the download of the curriculum was helpful. This school will probably be my last option, as I really don't want to retake English, Art History, Stats and all the other classes.
Also I went to a Catholic University and had to take a certain number of religion classes. In the end I decided to minor in religion and take a couple extra.
- 0May 28, '09 by corjen1226Your english classes will transfer, your art class will as well. The only classes you may have to take are History of PR, Global Society, and Spanish 1-3. Let me know if you need any more info. Happy to help.
- 0Jul 9, '09 by abikHello,
I kind of joined this blog a bit late but I have a question for Chanelcinq,
I just moved to Puerto Rico in June 2009 and have applied for admissions at the Interamericana University, I was wondering if you ended up joining the RN program and how is it going or how did it go if you are finished. I have been advised that I should stick to this university but I wanted to get an update of a current student. I want to start the RN program in August, I applied for admissions back in May and havent heard anything from the school. Its almost mid July and I still don't know if I am admitted. Also, I already have a BA in Psychology from the University of Arizona and I am so crossing my fingers that I don't have to take a lot of prerequisites. If you or anybody else here have any current info regarding the RN program, I will truly appreciate it.

social media messaging & social network broadcasting
If this survey is any indicator, about half of all businesses who engage in social media marketing will reap no rewards for their efforts because it will simply, as the old saying goes, "...take more time than it's worth".
It doesn't have to be that way.
Once you've integrated your website into all the appropriate social networks and media via branded profiles, the name of the game becomes messaging ... as in conceiving, creating and transmitting social messages (posts, comments, updates, "tweets", etc.) and then evaluating, responding and replying to the reactions, interest, questions, input and feedback they generate. And without the appropriate social messaging tools, policies, procedures and above all priorities, an enterprise can quickly become overwhelmed and so engaged in generating replies that they forget the original objective was to generate returns on their social media marketing (SMM) investment.
We can provide you with social media messaging and social network broadcasting strategies and solutions that minimize your time requirements by automating repetitive posting processes and controlling and constraining the quality and quantity of feedback. That way, you won't waste countless hours telling posters what time it is when your goal was to sell them a watch.
Do you want SMM solutions that cost-effectively feed qualified traffic to your website?
If so, call 786-326-8079 for a free, no-obligation meeting or consultation with Bruce Arnold, South Florida's social message marketing master.

Faisal Shahzad, the man convicted of attempting a car-bomb attack in New York's Times Square, has been sentenced to life in prison.
He received several mandatory life sentences in a Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.
The Pakistan-born US citizen had been convicted on 10 charges including counts of terrorism and attempting to use a "weapon of mass destruction" by parking a car laden with explosives in one of the city's busiest areas in May.
After his sentencing, Shahzad remained defiant, warning the US that its so-called war with the Muslim world "has just begun".
Blames 'US aggression'
Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey, reporting from outside the New York court house, said there were "no surprises" in the sentencing, as Shahzad received "several life sentences".
"He said if he had 1000 lives he'd give them all to Allah in this way. He said he was doing this because of US occupation and aggression in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan," our correspondent said.
The prosecution showed videos of him receiving training from Taliban militants, our correspondent said.
Shahzad "complained that he was not read his rights [by security forces]. He said his wife and children were threatened by government investigators", our correspondent said.
When convicted in June, Shahzad explained that he packed his vehicle with three separate bomb components, hoping to set off a fertiliser-fuelled bomb packed in a gun cabinet, a set of propane tanks and gas canisters rigged with fireworks to explode into a fireball.
After parking the SUV Shahzad said he lit a fuse and waited for between two and a half to five minutes for the bomb to go off.
"I was waiting to hear a sound but I didn't hear a sound. ... So I walked to Grand Central [station] and went home," he said.
According to witness reports, the bomb apparently sputtered, emitting smoke that attracted the attention of a nearby street vendor, who notified police, setting in motion a rapid evacuation of the area.
'It's a war'
Shahzad was arrested two days after the attempted attack in May at New York's JFK airport minutes before the plane he had boarded was about to take off for Dubai.
He previously said he conspired with the Pakistan Taliban, which provided more than $15,000 to fund his operation. He also said he was carrying a folding assault rifle for "self-defence".
"It's a war," he said in June. "I am part of the answer to the US terrorising the Muslim nations and the Muslim people."
"On behalf of that, I'm revenging the attack. Living in the United States, Americans only care about their people, but they don't care about the people elsewhere in the world when they die."
In a statement released after his June conviction, Eric Holder, the US attorney general, said Shahzad had "plotted and launched an attack that could have led to serious loss of life, and today the American criminal justice system ensured that he will pay the price for his actions".

A Meringue skirt from Colette Patterns.
I did no design or fit alteration whatsoever, sewing a straight size 8.
But I did add an interlining (black crepe) to give my fabric more body.
Fabric is a printed cotton, quilt weight : La strada (or sometimes called Dolce vita) from Alexander Henry. I think it was from the 2008 collection.
I had been holding on to this fabric because I love it so much that I wanted to wait for the right project. When I saw the meringue skirt pattern when the Colette sewing handbook came out over a year ago, I knew that was the pattern I wanted to use for my fabric. It only took me a year to finally sew it ;) .
The skirt is worn with a Jasmine blouse (pattern from Colette also) made in a very fine silk crepe form Balenciaga. This fabric is a wonder to wear (and a pain to cut), It feels very luxurious.
Skirt outer shell fabric : La Strada from Alexander Henry.
Skirt underlining : synthetic black crepe.
Blouse fabric : fine silk crepe from Balenciaga.

By default, WordPress (2.5 and later) comes with two RSS feed sections on the Dashboard. You can customize these by clicking the "Edit" link and typing in your own RSS feed URL.
But what if you want to add more than 2 feeds to your dashboard?
Just use the free RSS Mix service: enter in the multiple feed URLs that you would like to syndicate in one of your WordPress Dashboard boxes, and then click "Create" to join those feeds into one new feed that you can enter into your Dashboard.
One disadvantage to this tactic is that you have to create a new feed every time you want to edit the list. But still, this could be helpful for WordPress bloggers who would find other sources of information (besides those related to WordPress) more relevant for their blog's "administration homepage."

I Have Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome42 Comments Published by JD April 30th, 2009 in I See Doctors.
This picture came from here.
Sounds fancy, don't it? You're probably wondering what the hell I'm doing, sitting here blogging when I should be in an intensive care unit with a giant tube down my throat.
But it's not that exciting, I'm afraid. In fact, it's pretty damn dull. Damnit!
Yeah, so. Remember that sleep study? I got the results. Of course I will share them with you! I will even go so far as to translate the difficult medical jargon (see pretty green letters).
STUDY PERFORMED: Nocturnal polysomnogram.
(Find out why patient snores.)
PROCEDURE: Technician-assisted study recording EEG, EOG movement, chin EMG, nasal and oral airflow, EKG, respiratory effort, oximetry, body position, snoring, pulse rate, and limb movement.
(Test will measure how much patient snores.)
SLEEP ARCHITECTURE: Total recording time was 556.5 minutes with a total sleep time of 376.0 minutes. Sleep efficiency of 85%. Total number of arousals [!!!]: 75.
(Patient snored for 376.0 minutes)
RESPIRATORY DATA: 5 episodes of hypopnea with a mean length of 24.8 seconds. 5 episodes of respiratory effort-related arousals [!!!]. Patient slept 2.5 minutes in supine position and 373.5 minutes in lateral position.
(Patient tends to snore on her side.)
OTHER: No abnormal limb movements.
(Patient did not fondle herself.)
CONCLUSION: Test showed evidence suggestive of mild sleep related breathing disorder.
(Patient snores.)
So that was a waste of a perfectly good night. And now my doctor wants to see me. Why? So he can tell me to my face I'm a big, fat snorer? Dave calls me that every morning. For free!
Oh, well. I still haven't cleared up the mystery of why I have a flat throat. I'm sure that will be a similarly fascinating revelation. I'll probably find out that excessive snoring causes the throat opening to flatten.
Have you checked your throat opening today?

"Mark? Mark! MARK! Go on your side. Your SIDE! No, not your side of the bed. Your side on your body. You're snoring. Real LOUD!"

I try never to fall asleep in front of people, because then when I wake up they are all avoiding eye contact and snickering suspiciously. Too bad I fall asleep everywhere, including in class, at work, on the subway, and on dates.

The trick is to marry someone who snores louder than you do, then they can't give you any grief about it. (This may be a bit of a problem, tho, since you're already married and you seem kind of attached to Dave.)
So, are there lots of people with the flat-throat thing, or are you a medical mystery? I've never heard of it…very curious.

This is the same person who tells me every time I go there that my blood pressure is 'creeping up'. I don't have the heart to tell her that it 'creeps up' when I come in there because I 'hate her'.

The publicist's daddy used to snore. VERY loudly. He could wake whole neighborhoods. The publicist learned to sleep through the noise. She married a man that doesn't snore and it took her quite a while to learn to sleep in the quiet.
Sometimes she misses the snores…..

I hope you will let us know your proposed treatment. My husband snores like a banshee and I have been trying to get him to go to a doctor forever (he refuses). Maybe treatment will be something I can slip into his food when he isn't looking (beats the heck out of smothering him with his pillow which is option B).

I don't snore. The only time I do snore is when I have someone else in bed with me, which is rare so I don't snore anymore. I suggest you tell Dave to sleep on the couch if you are to really stop snoring.

I love the idea of someone having to sit in another room at the hospital watching the clock and timing how long you were snoring so the data can be captured in the report.
It truly drives me insane when my husband snores and frequently I move downstairs to the couch and turn the fan on to cover the sound of his snoring.
I cannot imagine having to listen to a patient snore while watching the clock. I would gladly clean toilets at Taco Bell before I took that job.
May 1st, 2009 at 6:02 AM
I don't snore nearly as much as my husband does, which is why I'm always freaked out when I make a sudden snort noise and I'm like "Was that me? I sound like that?"
Like flit, I'm a teeth grinder, which if you ask my sisters and my husband is something you almost want to kill someone for. I can still remember my sisters throwing pillows at me during my sleep to shut me up. I think it must be worse than snoring, though I never hear what it sounds like. Nor would I undergo a sleep study to find out. If I heard it, I'd never fall asleep again.

Seriously, I'm hoping you don't have to do the CPAP machine. It is a real PITA. My exhb had one. Anastasia is supposed to use one but she refuses. Instead, we are dueling snorers. Each of us coughs unnaturally loud to wake the other when the snoring gets too obnoxious. How juvenile is that?

"5 episodes of hypopnea with a mean length of 24.8 seconds. 5 episodes of respiratory effort-related arousals . . ."
Um. Are you sure this isn't backwards?
Maybe the 5 episodes of respiratory effort-related arousals resulted in 5 episodes of "something else" lasting a mean 24.8 seconds.
If so, then sign me up.
The only kind of arousal that lasts 24.8 seconds in my house lately is the excitement my husband displays when he finds out I'm making lasagna.

I don't think I snore, but I find if a girl does then a swift shove onto the floor usually sorts her out for a while. Good luck with that.

It's been a very long time since ANYONE has check my throat opening and that's all I'm gonna say about that! I snore myself but usually if I've been drinking and fall asleep on my back. If you get a chance, please check out my new blog. I finally have it on my domain name, meandtheblueskies.com. Woo Hoo!!!

But … 75 arousals each night sounds like such a GOOD thing! LOL!
We both snore. My solution is to wear ear plugs and if OH complains, offer him a pair. But he does have abominable dying-in-his-sleep episodes where he'll wake me up because I can hear him not breathing, and then he sucks in his breath with a huge, choking-to-death-on-a-walrus noise.
I guess that's what your sleep study people were talking about, huh?
May 2nd, 2009 at 9:04 AM
Hmm That is a lot of arousals. Then again, how many people can say they have a flat throat? Do you have to chew your food a special way? Drink from flat rectangular straws?
I agree – I hope you don't have to result to the CPAP machine. Not only is it a total PITA, but really, how attractive is it??
I feel for ya. And thanks for the translation. lol

Best response was from Daisy: nice way for "her" to put it to "Daddie." Was glad that my wife, Shieldmaiden96, had no snide comments on the side about me.
Loved the arousals [!!!], although probably not as much as you did.

So, you have UARS? Is it contagious? Sounds like SARS–you don't have some advanced form of swine flu, do you? Is it safe to comment here? I think I'll go wash my hands after submitting this comment, just in case.
May 3rd, 2009 at 10:13 PM
My husband only snores when he's on his side FACING ME… which he insists on doing for some reason (he must like me or something).
Maybe I should insult him every night before we go to bed.
Maybe we need separate bedrooms. Hmmm…

75 arousals! Is that like some kind of record?
May 5th, 2009 at 4:28 AM
I keep telling OH he needs to get checked out, and also that losing weight to reduce the size of his neck would help, but he never listens to me.
"Can you hear him not breathing thru your earplugs?"
The earplugs don't block out all noise, they just seriously reduce it, but I think it's more of an instinctive 'WAKE UP – YOUR HUSBAND'S DEAD!!' thing. Thankfully, he usually isn't.
May 5th, 2009 at 10:08 PM
It was worth your suffering for a great post, surely?
I wonder if they were just being kind about the 'no limb movement' thing… Just to be sure, I'd check YouTube, I don't trust those doctors…
May 6th, 2009 at 7:06 AM
Yes…I check my throat opening on a regular basis. Well..if I figure out how…I would. I do have a disorder where I try to talk while I am drinking, so it goes down "the wrong pipe." But that is not a true throat disorder, that is a stupidity disorder.
All I can think of when I think of sleep studies is that it must be darn cold to do one. I always think they put you on a cold table with one thin sheet for warmth and you freeze all night. But maybe that's not true.

Oklahoma City (Nov. 15, 2013) – The National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) announced today that its Comprehensive Advanced Placement (AP) program will expand to U.S. Grant High School, in the Oklahoma City School District, thanks to the generosity of a partnership with Boeing and the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE).
OKLAHOMA CITY (Nov. 16, 2013) – More than 2,000 elementary school students from all across Oklahoma attended the Oklahoma State Department of Education's (OSDE) ReadOK event at the State Capitol today.
Pictures taken at this year's ReadOK event.
Outstanding science and mathematics teachers are in every school system throughout our State. Help us identify and recognize these hard-working educators by nominating them for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST).
I first visited Tushka Schools in April 2011, after a tornado destroyed the district's main school building. It was a heartbreaking scene – much of the building was in ruin, many students and teachers were displaced form their homes, and district staff worried about how they would finish the school year.I visited the Atoka County district again about a year ago, and I made my third trip last week. I can hardly express how thrilled I am with the fortitude of the students, teachers and administrators in Tushka.
In order to assist districts in complying with the Safe Schools and Bullying Prevention Act (HB 1661), regional meetings for administrators and school employees will be provided by the Oklahoma State Department of Education in collaboration with the Oklahoma PTA. Regional meetings are scheduled to begin in January, 2014, and will take place in regions located throughout the state.
In order to successfully collect data for the 35 percent quantitative portion of TLE, teachers will utilize a process called Roster Verification to properly link themselves to the students they teach. Read the full newsletter
Amid the growth of state "virtual" charter schools, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Janet Barresi is calling for legislation to strengthen academic and financial standards for such entities.
While a proponent of charter schools, Barresi said the relatively new phenomenon of virtual charters needs to be held to the same standards of accountability and transparency that are applicable to other charters in the public school system.
"Oklahoma's public schools predate statehood, while virtual charter schools have been around for but a handful of years," she said.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) Student Information Office is conducting Regional In-Person training opportunities in January and February. The focus of the Spring Training will be the upcoming Spring 2014 Data Certification Projects and best practices for the successful completion of these projects. As with the Spring 2013 projects, the Spring 2014 Data Certification Projects involve certifying student-level data in the Wave that SDE will use to populate the following reports:
Dec. 19, 2013I am excited to begin the 2014 OKTOY Blog, and I agree with many friends that this is long overdue!

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
