The State of the Union story, printed on January 21, was attributed to Dana Milbank and Mike Allen of the Washington Post. The piece seen by Denver Post subscribers began, "President Bush on Tuesday night devoted the final State of the Union address of his term to a vigorous and sometimes combative defense of his actions as president, calling the United States a 'nation on a mission' that has made the right decisions to invade Iraq and cut taxes." The Post plucked its headline from this sentence: "Nation on a Mission'" appeared just under the paper's flag. Yet a look at the streaming version of these comments on the president's website, www.whitehouse.gov, shows that Bush actually said "nation with a mission," not "nation on a mission." The former also appears in the official White House transcript of the speech.
Readers who suspect the press of liberal bias may well see the printing of the inaccurate "nation on a mission" phraseology as supporting evidence, since it sounds slightly more bellicose than Bush's actual remark -- a nice companion to previous declarations such as "Bring it on." The description of the speech as "sometimes combative" only enhances this interpretation. On the other hand, the Washington Post corrected the phrasing in the article that's currently on the paper's own website, and a majority of publications around the country ran the correct version of the Milbank-Allen effort. The number that employed the "nation on a mission" variation is smaller but significant; they include the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Mobile Register and a Post sister paper, the Oakland Tribune.
In his January 24 column, "Political Coverage: Less Bulge, More Merit," Rocky editor/publisher/president John Temple noted the Post's gaffe without pointing out that other newspapers around the country stumbled in the same way. He kept the focus local by likening the Post's front-page botch to one made by his own paper, in which failed presidential aspirant Richard Gephardt was identified as a U.S. senator (he's a representative). Nonetheless, the segment was prominent enough that it should have come to the Post's attention -- so it was unexpected when Post editor Greg Moore and managing editor Gary Clark said they'd heard nothing about the goof until more than a week later, when it was brought up by yours truly. Apparently, Temple needs to work on building his readership, especially among Post managers.
Finally, on February 8, the Post ran a correction about the presidential word jumble, which appears to have been spurred by miscommunication with the Washingtonians. Indeed, Clark reveals that representatives of the Washington Post didn't know about the problem until they were contacted by Denver Post deputy national editor Jim Bates, who was put in charge of researching the matter.
In an e-mail forwarded by Clark, Bates writes, "I talked to Kate Carlisle, the managing editor of the Washington Post wire service. She offers deep apologies. The Post updated its story for the final (at nearly 2 a.m. their time), but their wire service had already shut down, and so they did not send either an advisory or a writethrough. (She said she didn't know whether the national desk tried to tell them about the change or not, but it is academic, since it was changed after the wire service desk closed for the night.) She said that maybe there was a good object lesson for them here about the fact that some subscriber papers have later deadlines. And then she apologized again."
Good idea, since the first transmission of the Milbank-Allen story prompted the Post to not only misquote the President of the United States, but to do so in inch-high type.
On February 3, another enormous front-page headline, "CU President: Rape Didn't Occur," was just as questionable, as was the story by Post reporter Julia Martinez that accompanied it. In an e-mail, Martinez writes. "I stand by my reporting." Still, the article was removed from the paper's website that afternoon.
Martinez's summary was part of a continuing investigation by the Post, and the media at large, into practices at CU-Boulder. Three women are suing the university in connection with a 2001 party for high school and college footballers at which sexual assaults are alleged to have taken place. They argue that the school and the athletic department use sex to lure recruits, and when Boulder District Attorney Mary Keenan concurred in a deposition made public in late January, a controversy that had lain fallow for quite some time was jolted back to life. Governor Bill Owens weighed in, the state legislature threatened to launch its own inquiry, Keenan promised to look into the actions at the party again (she'd previously declined to press assault charges against possible instigators), and CU football coach Gary Barnett became a cable-news star for all the wrong reasons.

Homestander: Critical Thinking
June 7th, 2013Each Thursday preceding Brewers weekend home stands, Tyler Maas Vince Morales will help prepare fans for all elements of the upcoming series with the Homestander. Tyler prints Wisconsin-themed shirts at Forward Fabrics and contributes to such fine publications as Milwaukee Magazine and The A.V. Club Milwaukee. All views, naughty words and weirdo sentiments are his own. Follow him at @TylerJamesMaas @vintown
There is a witch hunt going on in the MLB and it involves our favorite son, Ryan Braun. I don't know why, but there is. The mainstream media is a big part of it because they want to get the scoop, they want to break the story and they want to get the page views. They learned from the Melky Cabrera situation that he just doesn't get the clicks anymore. They've learned that Alex Rodriguez, once a ratings bonanza of controversy on par with Tiger Woods, just doesn't get the viewers like he used to. In order to strum up some business with this Biogenesis thing, they need a name with some value. A guy who is still good, they NEED Ryan Braun. I guarantee you if someone ends up suspended for this thing (and they shouldn't be unless they fail a drug test, but that's another rant) that the media will tell you that "so and so was suspended, but still no word on Ryan Braun" because "so and so" doesn't get the clicks, but Ryan Braun will. Ryan Braun is forever stung by this thing and it sucks. Whenever there is a thing with PEDs, he will be brought up. Right now, every dumb person I know just assumes that Ryan Braun did PEDs and he WILL be busted soon. There is no burden of proof, only a belief in what ESPN tells you.
Which is why I say this, don't believe everything you read or see on TV. The media lies. They have an agenda. Sometimes that agenda is protecting their corporate sponsors and sometimes that agenda is to get more viewers. Ryan Braun can be used to fit that agenda. I'm not saying he's guilty or innocent, I'm just saying you need to look at what you know and make up your own decisions. Use critical thinking and stop letting ESPN or whoever else decide things for you. You can do it. We are Anonymous.
MicroBrew - Minor Leaguer Of The Week
Apparently there was a draft yesterday? And the Brewers drafted some dudes? Last time I checked I thought all our picks belonged to the Cardinals, but apparently we still had some. Let's see who we can get excited about:
Neuhaus, a left-handed hitter who turns 18 in two weeks, missed most of his senior season at Wharton (Fla.) High School with injuries, including a ruptured eardrum suffered with Brewers amateur scouting director Bruce Seid in the stands and a right quadriceps strain that dogged him much of the spring.
You know the old saying "you can't be injury prone if you don't start in high school." Great value pick by the Brewers here, drafting a guy who listens to The National so loudly that he blows out his eardrum. (I assume.) Can't wait to see how he pans out!
Blatz from the Pabst - Old School Brewer
Fernando Vina. When I was in middle school my dad worked in downtown Milwaukee so one day he took me to work with them and then let me take a cab to go to a Brewers game BY MYSELF. It was the coolest. I got there really early and managed to snag a batting practice ball with my glove and a belt. (It was near the foul line, but just out of reach. I basically fished for it.) I then took that ball and scored some autographs. I ended up with two, Fernando Vina and... Derek Jeter. My dumb kid self was like "whatever Yankees dude" and so pumped about Vina that I played second base in little league and had the same number. I don't know whatever happened to that ball.
Handy Heckle - Phillies
"YOUR TEAM SUCKS! I MEAN, OUR TEAM SUCKS TOO, BUT AT LEAST WE DON'T HAVE A TERRIBLE REPUTATION FOR THROWING BATTERIES AND BOOING SANTA! EVEN IF THAT SANTA THING HAPPENED IN THE 70s!"
Tailgating Tips - What to put inside you, etc.
To drink: Strongbow hard cider. I just had this for the first time and oh my god do I love it. I am usually the person who makes fun of hard cider drinkers ("hard cider? do you also like hard wieners? you know, bcuz gay") but this stuff is the bomb. Plus, it's like 5% alcohol which is more than that Miller Lite you're drinking right now.
To eat: Whatever. Just don't do anything that Jerry Garcia makes and complain about him loudly. That way I can take his job and make everyone hate me.
Tailgating Tunes
George Harrison.
Have you ever heard of this guy? He's awesome! Apparently he was in some band before this, but now he's out on his own and he's really making some great music. "My Sweet Lord" may be my favorite song ever. I once sent it to my baby's mother and she hated it because it was "about others Gods" or something. GOOD TIMES!
If you can't make it to Miller Park - Watch the game here
Friday's Front Row at Miller Park. A bit overpriced, but they have a great drink selection.
Seriously, have you looked at stubhub prices for this weekend? You can go.
Otherwise check out McBob's which is where I take the shuttle from for every Brewers game. They have a good beer selection, excellent corned beef and diversity in their customer base. Something that you don't normally find in a Milwaukee bar.
Ad-monishment - Shaming commercials that deserve it
I don't watch enough TV to really get into this (hipster status), but if I had to choose one it would be any commercial involving people playing hockey. Have these (M)ad men ever even watched hockey? It actually has lighting, you know. It's not done in pitch black arenas. Also, the players are uglier. Except for Patrick Sharp, he's dreamy.
Ever wonder what I do when I am ignoring the Brewers and my blog? I write about indy wrestling at my blog, Ole Wrestling. Specifically, crazy theories of a Chikara conspiracy that has seen my favorite thing ever get shut down. If you're into that sort of thing give it a follow. Don't worry, it won't hurt my feelings if you don't. I know there are only like five people interested in this besides me.

When will I be able to return to work or to exercise?
It depends in part which surgical approach you had and what operation you had. Laparoscopic techniques allow you to return to daily activities much faster than standard "open" techniques. With the former, you'll heal faster and with less pain. The laparoscopic approach also has a lower risk for the development of hernias.
We encourage you to be active as soon as you feel ready. This can be as early as one day after surgery, in the form of walking. Some people have returned to work the day after surgery. However, most patients find that they need 1 - 2 weeks of rest and recovery. You may feel tired during the first week, but you will feel more energetic as you lose weight.
We recommend that you return to full exercise at 6 weeks after surgery. Any significant exertion prior to that may prevent you from fully healing.

noun \-ē-ə-ˌni-zəm\Definition of VEGETARIANISM
First Known Use of VEGETARIANISM
noun \-ē-ə-ˌniz-əm\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of VEGETARIANISM
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Theory or practice of eating only plants. The vegetarian diet includes grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts; it excludes meat, poultry, and fish, but some vegetarians eat dairy products (lactovegetarians), egg products (ovovegetarians), or both (ovolactovegetarians). Those who eat no animal products (including honey) are called vegans. Motivations vary and include ethics (both unwillingness to kill animals and abhorrence of modern methods of raising animals for meat), self-denial or religious taboo, ecology (including concern about the wastefulness and environmental costs of beef farming), and health. Vegetarians point to the many health benefits of their diet, including low rates of heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and obesity. While obtaining sufficient protein is seldom a problem in affluent societies, vegetarians must be careful to consume enough iron and, especially for vegans, calcium and vitamins D and B. The most influential early proponent of vegetarianism was Pythagoras, in the 6th century BC. Many Hindu sects and most Buddhists are vegetarian, and much of the world eats hardly any meat because it is unavailable. The Enlightenment led to a humane concern for animals; in the 19th century Britain became a major centre of vegetarianism, and vegetarian movements soon arose in Germany, the U.S., and other countries.

The phone number is a harassment tactic by a debt collection agency called Conversion Outsourcing. They called me over a week ago about a bogus "debt" from Citizens Bank. I informed them that it was a mistake and that I had closed that account not owing anything, having already made deposits that covered any and all charges before account closure, and that the bank should not have charged me. Conversion Outsourcing calls from 855-849-1984 and only lets it ring once and hangs up, or if you pick up there is dead air. They do this once per day, sometimes twice, for the purpose of harassing the supposed "debtor" and enticing them to call back. If you call back, it can be used to confirm your identity for the purpose of debt collection. Best course of action is to ignore the calls and do not call back. It's a really creepy, underhanded ploy that utilizes purposeful harassment of the supposed "debtor" to try to skirt anti-harassment debt collection law.
they also call from a number in New Haven CT. the number is 203 937 2891 and when you pickup, they don't tell you what kind of company they are.

Adobe Eclipse Flex LinuxAIR issues with entering Czech characters into text control
February 2nd, 2009 by MartinWhile I was working on Flex application that was integrated as desktop application using Adobe AIR, I face this very strange issue. While I was entering text into TextField, all previously entered text disappears after pressing Shift+4/č! It was really frustrating bug not only from user experience point of view ;). So how to fix it if it is out of your control? Simplest way is to wait for a fix from Adobe, but I was not my case. I wrote a small workaround. It is not ideal, because all these workarounds are for certain cost. I created a small method for filtering wrong inputs and correct them. Yes, it is not so nice, but it saved my project timeline ;).

Latin Kings Leader Sentenced to 19 Years in Prison for Racketeering Conspiracy
Another Latin Kings Member Pleads Guilty to His Role in the Racketeering Conspiracy, Including Armed Robbery and a Firebombing
Greenbelt, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. sentenced Andres Echevarria, a/k/a "B-Boy" and "King B-Boy," age 23, of Brooklyn, New York, today to 19 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release for conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise, in connection with his gang activities as a member of the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation (Latin Kings).
On August 27, 2010, Miguel Castillo, age 23, of Rockville, another member of the Latin Kings, pleaded guilty to his role in the racketeering enterprise, including the armed robbery of a drug dealer and the firebombing of a residence.
The sentence and guilty plea were announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Assistant Attorney General Lanny A Breuer, of the Department of Justice Criminal Division; Special Agent in Charge Theresa Stoop of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Chief J. Thomas Manger of the Montgomery County Police Department; Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy; Chief Roberto L. Hylton of the Prince George's County Police Department; Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey; and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly.
"This disturbing case demonstrates that gang membership leads to both organized criminal schemes and senseless acts of violence," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "The ATF-led RAGE task force has proven its value in pursuing violent gangs."
"Coordinated, organized violence is a hallmark of the gangs we are fighting," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Criminal Division. "Molotov cocktails, armed robberies, and other violent means of intimidation and coercion are how these gangs operate, and Andres Echevarria and his co-defendants scorched a violent path that has ultimately led to prison. Through our coordinated work with the U.S. Attorney's Office and our law enforcement partners, we are taking back our neighborhoods from these gangs."
According to Echevarria and Castillo's plea agreements, the Latin Kings, is a violent street gang with thousands of members across the country and overseas. The Latin Kings have a detailed and uniform organizational structure, which is outlined – along with various "prayers," codes of behavior, and rituals – in a written "manifesto" widely distributed to members throughout the country. Members of the Latin Kings are also traditionally given "King Names" or "Queen Names," which are names other than their legal names, by which they are known to members of the gang and to others on the street. At the local level, groups of Latin Kings are organized into "tribes," including, but not limited to, the Royal Lion Tribe, MOG, Sun Tribe and UTL.
According to Echevarria's plea agreement, he became a member of the Tiger tribe in Brooklyn, New York, in the spring of 2008 and later became a member of the Murda Maya tribe also in Brooklyn, the MOG tribe in Maryland, and the TBF tribe in Brooklyn. Echevarria admitted that he held leadership positions in the Latin Kings, including the Third Crown/enforcer position for the MOG tribe in the fall of 2008, and for the Murda Maya tribe at the end of the summer of 2009.
Echevarria admitted that as part of his gang activities, he attempted to murder an individual in Wheaton, Maryland on November 1, 2008, after the individual made a disparaging remark about the Latin Kings while attending a party at which many Latin King members and associates were present. In addition, on May 23, 2009, after Echevarria and other Latin King members got into an argument with members of a rival gang in Brooklyn, New York, Echevarria fired a gun at one of the rival gang members. The bullet missed the rival gang member, traveled some distance and hit another person, penetrating the person's clothes and causing an abrasion on the person's back. According to the statement of facts, during the summer of 2009, Echevarria and other gang members also planned to rob a federal firearms licensee (FFL) in Frederick, Maryland, after learning that the FFL was receiving a large quantity of firearms. Echevarria and the other gang members planned to steal the guns and sell them for a profit, but as they were preparing to rob the FFL, they saw a significant number of military personnel near the FFL and abandoned the mission. Also according to the statement of facts, in the summer of 2009, Echevarria and other Latin King members carried out the armed robbery of a drug dealer in Frederick and Montgomery Counties, during which Echevarria pointed a gun at the drug dealer's head.
According to Castillo's plea agreement, in 2007, Castillo joined the Royal Lion Tribe of the Latin Kings. In the late summer or fall of 2007, Castillo and other Latin King members, including Francisco Ortiz, planned and carried out the armed robbery of a drug dealer at the Marylander Condominiums in Langley Park, Maryland, at the direction of the Inca/First Crown. Castillo admitted that, after one of the Latin Kings knocked on the door, he, Ortiz and another Latin King associate forced their way into the apartment, each carrying a gun. Once inside, the dealer and his young daughter, were held at gunpoint in the bedroom while the Latin Kings searched the residence, eventually stealing a few bags of powder cocaine.
Castillo also admitted, that on January 8, 2008, at the direction of the Inca/First Crown, he and two others planned and carried out the firebombing of a residence in Montgomery County. Castillo and his co-defendants assembled two Molotov cocktails and drove to the residence in the 13000 block of Parkland Drive in the Rockville - Aspen Hill area. They waited across the street until the residents inside the house turned off the lights and at approximately 4:00 a.m., the two Molotov cocktails were lit and thrown at house. At least one struck the house and caught fire. The victims in the house were awakened by the explosion, saw a fire outside the house, and called 911. The Molotov cocktails self-extinguished and no one was injured. On October 10, 2008, Castillo pled guilty to possession of destructive devices (the Molotov cocktails) in U.S. District Court.
Castillo faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. has scheduled sentencing for November 17, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. Castillo remains detained.
Co-defendants Miguel Cruz, a/k/a "Skibee" and "King Skibee," age 45, of Bronx, New York, one of the founders of the Maryland tribe of the Latin Kings; Nelson Santos, a/k/a "Nelly" and "King Nelly," age 27, of Silver Spring, Maryland, and Francisco Ortiz, a/k/a "Francis Gabriel Ortis," "Pone," and "King Pone," age 26, of Rockville, Maryland, previously pleaded guilty to the racketeering conspiracy in connection with their gang activities and are scheduled to be sentenced on September 16, 2010, October 22, 2010, and December 1, 2010, respectively, all at 9:30 a.m. All remain in federal custody.
In addition to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Montgomery County Police Department; Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office; Prince George's County Police Department; Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office; and New York City Police Department, Mr. Rosenstein and Mr. Breuer thanked the Gaithersburg Police Department, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, the Maryland National Capital Park Police - Prince George's County Division, the Maryland State Police, the U.S. Secret Service, the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for their assistance in this investigation and prosecution.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys Emily Glatfelter and David Salem, and Lara M. Peirce, a Trial Attorney with the Criminal Division's Gang Unit, who are prosecuting the case.

Does anyone know if there is a "natural" treatment for Lyme disease? Just curious. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use several herbs to treat my lyme. (I have had it several years now) I use echinacea in 21 day cycles each month. I also up my intake of B vitamins and antioxidants. For the past several years, I have also used Collodial Silver. Email me if ya want more details. |
I hope no one is getting the idea that Lyme disease can be safely treated by an herbal regimen alone. It's crucial to start antibiotic therapy as soon as possible. If delayed, irreversible joint damage or neurologic problems can be the result. Your physician should be consulted about your taking supplemental herbal drugs or other medicines. |
I agree that she should speak to her doctor immediately. When I was diagnosed 6 yrs ago, there were no reliable tests. Because my doctor did not find lyme for 6 months after I exhibited the symptoms, traditional therapy of antibiotics have done little good. After years of trial and error with herbs and supplements, I have found what works for me. To this days I still exhibit sypmtoms. I have good days and bad days. |

My mom got lyme disease 3 years ago and I almost lost her to it. I fianlly went behind her back and called her Dr to tell him that I took the damn tick off of her and did he check her for it. He was never told about the tick because mom didn't think that that ws what was causeing her to be so sick. The pain she went through and still goes through is unbelieveable. No you have to be treated with antibiotics and more antibiotics you need to get the lyme test done at least yearly, I am no Dr just a concerned daughter. Please do the prescription antibiotics. use the herbs for relaxing the pain and illness some but use the hard stuff like your dr wants you to. |
Didn't have Lyme disease cause it doesn't exist over here (we don't have ticks for a start). Was infected with Brucellosis (similar to Lymes symptoms-caught from cattle) and it d*mn near finished me. In fact it probably knocked me at my most productive time and relapses still occur. Antibiotics are the only help for these type of diseases-but they must be treated as soon as possible otherwise they can become chronic. Herbs won't help! |
- Posted by GailOzarks Z6 AR (My Page) on Sat, Aug 3, 02 at 10:32
Thanks, everyone. I had two tick bites that I was a bit concerned about because they developed into kind of sores (not sure exactly how to explain) and I never had a tick bite do this before. I didn't pay any attention to them at first since we aren't supposed to have the ticks here that cause Lyme disease, but I have heard of a few cases. After they developed into these little sores, I became concerned thus my question. Anyway, it turns out that I didn't develop any symptoms. I definitely will pay more attention to any future bites and seek immediate medical attention if necessary. I am glad I inquired as I thought perhaps there might be some herbal remedies rather than use of antibiotics. But I guess sometimes antibiotics are the only way, unfortunately. Even though I've resigned myself to antibiotic treatment if ever necessary, I find it unusual there is no natural remedy for this. Most antibiotics are synthetic forms of extractions from natural plants are they not? Forgive my ignorance as I'm certainly no expert. But I do use a number of herbs and vitamins for various minor ills and much prefer doing the "natural" thing whenever possible. |
I'm one of those folks who dread doctors and medicines, but when I passed out waiting for my morning train, I knew I had something serious. I'd had joint stiffness, and a fever which was very high that morning (it was also during a heat wave). A trip to the doctor's confirmed my worst suspicion--I had Lyme. Happily, it was caught early, and treated with a 2-week regimen of antibiotics. One month later, and I'm fine. Having experienced it, I would defintitely urge anyone to get it treated right away. The joint stiffness, fever, and extreme weakness were not fun. |
Gail, I had Lyme disease abt. 12 yrs ago. the day after the tick bite i got a circular rash around the bite area. Went to the doctor same day. He said Lyme Disease and gave me two weeks supply of potent anti-biotics. Later I felt like i had a mild case of the flu. but no problems since. I don't know if everyone gets a rash around the bite area. But the doctor said it was sign enough for him. The test came back neg. I have never trusted lab tests completely since.If you have anything strange with a tick bite go straight to a doctor. |
Laboratory testing to detect antibodies to the Lyme disease agent may be negative if performed too soon after the tick bite. If appropriate testing is negative, it is very likely that the patient did not have Lyme disease. The "characteristic" rash associated with Lyme disease does not appear in all cases and can be confused with skin reactions due to other causes. The link below has some interesting information about diagnosing and appropriately treating the disease. |

I know a lady who suffered from lime disease terribly for many years until she heard of the natural cure in a herb. She is now cured. I do not remember the name of the herb, but if you email me, I will put you in contact with her. |

I contacted Lyme in 1999 and after 6 weeks of antibotics they said I was cured, but since then I have had one aliment after another none of which ever appreaded before, so to keep my sanity and body well, I build up my immune system with Olive Leaf and other herbs, the only way I'll go now, they can keep the modern rip offs that do come from plants.......there is hope. |
Lyme Disease is a serious illness that is often difficult to diagnose and treat. Many people present with different symptoms at different stages, and not all have the telltale bullseye rash. Lyme Disease is caused by a bacteria, and as such, needs to be irradicated by an antibiotic. Prior to the development of antibiotics, people died from many illnesses, so there is unfortunately not always a natural cure. Herbs can be useful to relieve some symptoms, but not cure. In addition, the use of them should truly be discussed with your Dr. The problem is that the FDA does not regulate the inspection or approval of herbal substances, and there is no guarantee how they are packaged, distributed, etc. There are also serious side effects that can result from herbals, just like any medicine. Herbs can also interact with other medicines to make them weaker or stronger. Accidental herbal overdoses and drug interactions can and do occur! I would encourage anyone who even suspects lyme disease, to seek medical treatment immediately as it can result in permanent neurological or cardiac damage and long term illness. The sooner it is diagnosed and treated, the better. Finally, many physicians are not familar with diagnosing and treating lyme, so be sure to educate yourself and become your own best advocate. ~RN and Lyme patient |
I have heard an herbalist discussing using hydrotherapy to eradicate lyme in two or three treatments. He described a variation of the cold sheet treatment. According to him the lyme bacteria shatters after it has been heated to 104 degrees. . .he was from Uchee Pines, you may be able to get some info there. |

I was diagosed with Lyme's Disease three days ago. I started out with what I thought was the flu and a spider bite. About a week later the bite looked like the pictures I had seen for Lyne Disease carrying tick bites. Here's my question. I did not find the tick so where is it now? Is it and it's babies lurking about in my house waiting to bite me again? This was I question that I forgot to ask the doctor. Any thoughts from anyone? |

" I did not find the tick so where is it now? " They feed and drop off. If it's in the house, don't worry. The eggs need high humidity to hatch, and the usual house humidity is too low. |

I developed a perfect bull's-eye rash and found the tiny tick still in my skin. About the same time, I had flu-like symptoms for about a day, just like stage-one Lyme disease. I'm sure I got the bite at my mother's house, so I know within two days when it occured. Nine days after I was bitten, I got a blood test to check for Lyme; the results were negative. According to my doctor, there had been plenty of time for the disease to show up if I had it, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know how long it takes before blood tests will detect Lyme? |

ChantilyLace - Some people do not develop detectable levels of antibodies for several weeks. Some never get them at all. If you were in an area known to have Lyme Disease ... take the pills. |

No, I don't know that the area has Lyme; I just saw the bulls-eye mark and got worried. By the way, my uncle had Lyme, and his bulls-eye mark was big--the size of a dinner plate. Mine was only about the size of a nickle. Am I worried about the wrong thing? |
- Posted by lazygardens Sunset Zone 13 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 03 at 20:41
The size of a nickel? That's common with many bug bites - you have a pale area at the center, then a reddish circle where the body is fighting it. The classic Lyme's bullseye rash is at least as big as the palm of your hand ... |
we have ticks around here en masse. they are supposed to be infected. we have a vaccination against meningitis. i'd never get that vaccination because a friend of my mother's got half of her face paralysed after a vaccination. it was smallpox probably. i am immune to the vaccination against smallpox (not against smallpox !!). my grandma died after a vaccination against flu. i was vaccinated the whole thing against rabies because i would not name the dog (was a friend's dog, dogs get shot if they bite people). ten years later i thought i could fresh up the vaccination, the doctor freaked out why i had been vaccinated before. i took malaria prophylaxis. they changed it and i was sick all day. i read the leaflet of the othher preparation and decided not to go blind and put it off. a friend of mine spent a whole holiday inside cause the malaria prophylaxis caused bladders. had this weird cirle on my ass, went to the doctor, read this leaflet about borreliosis (lyme desease) and said that is it. fed on antibiotics until i put on the same jeans i wore the week before. and there it was: the collar you put on dogs and cats to wear off ticks. i carried a piece of that in my back pocket and it was really agressive to the skin. i suppose the big ticks are the bad ones (about a small pea when they are soaked). i got bitten by about 30 little ones this year, i just scratched them off. what i mean is: go to the doctor if you have problems and thinkabout it if you might have some. i do not believe you get sick after i tick byte within a dyay or two. i've had too many. there is a lot of money involved in this type of thing. martina |

Hello from a newbie! Hi out there. I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I've been searching the web for info about lyme disease and found this board. I've never thought about joining a board before, but after reading through some posts, I'm happy I did. I just want to say thanks to everyone for the support you offer here. |
Lyme disease is very serious. In it's peak stage it causes fever, headache paralysis and death if untreated. What most here are talking about is the after effects of lyme disease. Some people move on just fine, like my son, others are plauged with a variety of symptoms. Achy joints, tired etc. |

I am new to this website. I just found out i have lymes disease. I don't know how long I have had it and I have had achy pains for the past year and just ignored it. Now it makes me think. I never had a rash and if I did I figured it was just one of the many allergies I suffer from. Now I am achy and this sucks. I am hoping after the 21 day supply of medicine takes this away forever but I also feel that I am not that lucky of sorts. Thanks for letting me vent |

A friend of mine was diagnosed with Lyme Disease almost 2 years ago. I am not sure if she was diagnosed too late or what actually happened. but I do know that she is now a completely different person, she walks around like a zombie she is negative about everything, she is nasty to everyone and her family says she is very difficult to live with. She has been to specialists and they find nothing. They are so frustrated that the Drs. can't help. Has anyone heard of this happening after Lyme? Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
I have chronic Lyme Disease because my physician didn't treat it seriously. I had the "bulls-eye" rash and because I saw her 4 days later - when her office opened she only gave me a weeks meds, and said the blood test was "negative". It probably was because my body hadn't had time to build anitbodies. Plus only 45% of the blood tests are positive, and that is usually months or years later, after someone is chronically ill. I still test positive as "exposure to a tick" - nothing else - although I had the rash - large as a saucer. The next year I had STARI (Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness). It looked sort of like a bad scald. AND then I had a tiny tick, that I pulled off. Luckily I had an appointment with my "tick disease" specialist for 3 days later. I tested positive for Rocky Mounted Spotted Fever from that one. I already had antibiotics, which I started as soon as I found the tiny tick, and before I saw the doctor. Lyme Disease will flare off and on once it is chronic, and you have to have antibiotics on hand for those flares. Neurological changes can happen as it affects your nervous system, can cause Bell's palsy, arthritis - and you can die from it. The tiny ticks cause most illnesses, from what I've learned, the one that has a small white spot is called the Lone Star Tick, there is a "black legged" tick, and then the common dog tick, which usually causes Rocky Mounted Spotted Fever - or did in the past. They may be infected now with other illnesses as well. Ticks range from minute (seed ticks) to the Deer tick (still small - but larger) to the dog tick that is large as a pea after feeding. Insects are also carrying more and more illnesses we need to be careful of. If you are bitten by a tick - see a doctor for preventative antibiotics - please. |
From the Infectious Diseases Society of America (which establishes guidelines for diagnosis and treatment) on Lyme disease: "In rare cases, people who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease and properly treated have lingering symptoms, typically generalized pain, joint pain and fatigue. These symptoms have been interpreted by some to suggest the presence of chronic Borrelia burgdorferi infection. However, an extensive review of scientifically rigorous studies and papers available to date, has determined that there is no convincing biologic evidence to support a diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease after completion of the recommended treatment. There is no doubt that patients with persistent symptoms are suffering, but many report non-specific symptoms that also are associated with a number of other medical conditions. To be certain they receive the proper medical care, people who continue to have symptoms that persist after appropriate antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease should talk to their physicians about whether the original diagnosis of Lyme disease was accurate or if they may have a different or new illness. (bolding added) ...Long-term therapy for so-called chronic Lyme disease can involve weeks, months and even years of intravenous antibiotics. Although some people may feel better, it doesn�t prove that the antibiotic cured or suppressed infection. Sometimes, the belief that a treatment is helping can be enough to make people feel better. This is called the placebo effect and it is a well-documented medical phenomenon. Antibiotics also have anti-inflammatory effects that may help alleviate certain symptoms. Or, in some cases, patients may have another infectious disease that is responsive to antibiotics. In more than 20 years there has not been one scientifically valid study published in the peer-reviewed medical literature that proves that the benefit of long-term antibiotic treatment outweighs the risk. ...Long-term antibiotic therapy for so-called chronic Lyme disease is not only unproven, it may in fact be dangerous. For instance, it may lead to complications related to delivery of the medicine, such as infections of the blood stream as a result of long-term intravenous administration of antibiotics. Also, use of certain antibiotics can lead to a potentially severe and sometimes deadly infection of the bowel caused by a type of bacteria called Clostridium difficile. Further, long-term antibiotic therapy may foster the development of drug-resistant superbugs that are difficult to treat." |

Backgammon Instructions
Backgammon instructions and rules
If you're new to the backgammon game and want to try it out online for free the first thing you must do is read and fully understand the rules of the game. Backgammon instructions are quite straightforward and once you've learned and understood the basic concept of the game you should have no problem playing for free or even for real money stakes. Learning the rules of how to play backgammon is the easy part –it's developing a strong strategy that requires practice and skill.
Let's look at the backgammon instructions a little closer: first, this is a game played by two people. Each player has a set of 15 checkers that are positioned on the backgammon board along 24 triangles known as points in a mirror image of each other. The board consists of 4 quadrants that each contain 6 points and the player must move the checkers across these points in clockwise motion until they finally have all their own checkers in the homeboard (the quadrant furthest away from the starting point). Each player rolls the set of dice and the checkers are moved according to the combinations they are able to form with the dice numbers being displayed after the roll.
It's important to note that if there are 2 or more checkers on a point then the point can't be taken or landed on by the opposing player. This is called anchoring, but eventually you will have to move checkers off these secured points. When you only have one checker on a point it is then exposed to being hit by your opponent's checker (this is called a blot). If this happens it is taken off the board and but onto the dividing bar until you are able to roll the right numbers to get it back onto the quadrant furthest away from your homeboard.
Backgammon instructions are fairly simple and there aren't many rules to remember. You move according to the dice roll (also called the pip count) and you can only land on the points that have no checkers, 1 checker or of course your own checkers on them. For advanced players there's also something called the doubling cube which allows the player to challenge the opponent to double the stakes of the game. If the opponent refuses then he or she loses. The doubling cube is usually only used in advanced competitive backgammon being played for real money. if there are no stakes riding on the game it serves no purpose.
The real trick to playing well at the game is not learning the basic backgammon instructions but practicing a lot and learning tips from the pros. You will need to expand your knowledge of useful backgammon strategies and tips in order to make the best decisions based on any number of possible situations through the different stages of the game. Try playing free online backgammon in order to practice and get more familiar with the game before proceeding to real money play.

From Poetry Wiki
- For the PINDAR military bunker in London, please see the PINDAR section of Military citadels under London
Pindar (or Pindarus) (522 BC – 443 BC), perhaps the greatest of the nine lyric poets of ancient Greece, was born at Cynoscephalae, a village in Thebes. He was the son of Daiphantus and Cleodice. The traditions of his family have left their impression on his poetry, and are not without importance for a correct estimate of his relation to his contemporaries. The clan of the Aegidae – tracing their line from the hero Aegeus – belonged to the Cadmean element of Thebes, i.e., to the elder nobility whose supposed date went back to the days of the founder Cadmus.
Employing himself by writing choral works in praise of notable personages, events and princes, his house in Thebes was spared by Alexander the Great in recognition of the complimentary works composed for king Alexander I of Macedon.
Pindar composed choral songs of several types. According to a Late Antique biographer, these works were grouped into seventeen books by scholars at the Library of Alexandria. They were, by genre:[1]
- 1 book of humnoi "hymns"
- 1 book of paianes "paeans"
- 2 books of dithuramboi "dithyrhambs"
- 2 book of prosodia "preludes"
- 3 books of parthenia "songs for maidens"
- 2 book of huporchemata "songs to support dancing"
- 1 book of enkomia "praise-songs"
- 1 book of threnoi "laments"
- 4 books of epinikia "victory odes"
Of this vast and varied corpus, only the victory odes survive in complete form; an Athenian comic playwright, Eupolis, is said to have remarked that the poems of Pindar "are already reduced to silence by the disinclination of the multitude for elegant learning"[2] and it may be suggested that in modern times, too, Pindar is more respected than read. The rest are known to us only by quotations in other ancient authors or papyrus scraps unearthed in Egypt.
The victory odes were composed for aristocratic victors in the four most prominent athletic festivals in early Classical Greece: the Olympian, Pythian, Isthmian and Nemean Games. Rich and allusive in style, they are packed with dense parallels between the athletic victor, his illustrious ancestors, and the myths of gods and heroes underlying the athletic festival. But "Pindar's power does not lie in the pedigrees of ... athletes, ... or the misbehavior of minor deities. It lies in a splendour of phrase and imagery that suggests the gold and purple of a sunset sky." [3] Two of Pindar's most famous victory odes are Olympian 1 and Pythian 1.
In keeping with the Theban pedagogic tradition, a good part of his poetry touches on pederastic themes. Among these are his Olympian Odes I and IX, as well as his paean to the eromenos Theoxenus, a skolion thought to have been dedicated to Pindar's own beloved, but now believed to have been commissioned by Theoxenus' lover. (Hubbard, Thomas K. Pindar, Theoxenus, and the Homoerotic Eye)[4]
Pindar is to be conceived, then, as standing within the circle of those families for whom the heroic myths were domestic records. He had a personal link with the memories which everywhere were most cherished by Dorians, no less than with those which appealed to men of "Cadmean" or of Achaean stock. And the wide ramifications of the Aegidae throughout Hellas rendered it peculiarly fitting that a member of that illustrious clan should celebrate the glories of many cities in verse which was truly Panhellenic.
Pindar is said to have received lessons in aulos-playing from one Scopelinus at Thebes, and afterwards to have studied at Athens under the musicians Apollodorus (or Agathocles) and Lasus of Hermione. Several passages in Pindar's extant odes glance at the long technical development of Greek lyric poetry before his time, and at the various elements of art which the lyricist was required to temper into a harmonious whole. The facts that stand out from these meagre traditions are that Pindar was precocious and laborious. Preparatory labour of a somewhat severe and complex kind was, indeed, indispensable for the Greek lyric poet of that age.
Pindar's wife's name was Megacleia, and he had a son named Daiphantus and two daughters, Eumetis and Protomache. He is said to have died at Argos, at the age of seventy-nine, in 443 BC.
Chronology of the Odes
Modern editors (e.g. Snell and Maehler in their Teubner edition), have assigned dates, securely or tentatively, to Pindar's victory odes, based on ancient sources and other grounds. (Doubt is indicated by a question mark immediately following the number of an ode in the list below.) The result is a fairly clear chronological outline of Pindar's career as an epinician poet:
- 498 BC: Pythian Odes 10
- 490 BC: Pythian Odes 6, 12
- 488 BC: Olympian Odes 14 (?)

- 478 BC: Isthmian Odes 5 (?); Isthmian Odes 8
- 476 BC: Olympian Odes 1, 2, 3, 11; Nemean Odes 1 (?)
- 475 BC: Pythian Odes 2 (?); Nemean Odes 3 (?)
- 474 BC: Olympian Odes 10 (?); Pythian Odes 3 (?), 9, 11; Nemean Odes 9 (?)
- 474/473 BC: Isthmian Odes 3/4 (?)

Charles A. Lindbergh - Timeline
February 4, 1902 - Charles Augustus Lindbergh is born in Detroit, Michigan, of Swedish, English, Irish and Scottish ancestry to Charles August Lindbergh, a lawyer, and Evangeline Lodge Land Lindbergh, a teacher.
March 1902 - Lindbergh's parents return to their home in Little Falls, Minnesota with five-week-old Charles.
November 1906 - Lindbergh's father is elected to represent Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
June 15, 1918 - Lindbergh collects his diploma from Little Falls High School.
Fall 1920 - Lindbergh starts his studies in mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
February 2, 1922 - Two days short of his 20th birthday, Lindbergh, an undisciplined student, is dropped from the University of Wisconsin. He eventually signs on with the Nebraska Aircraft Corporation, where he hopes to learn every aspect of airplane building, maintenance, and flying.
Spring/Summer 1923 - Lindbergh, now a pilot, barnstorms his way around the midwest.
March 1924 - Lindbergh enlists in the Army Air Service and begins training. He graduates, first in his class, from the Army's Advanced Flying School and is commissioned as a second lieutenant. At loose ends because few squadrons need new pilots, he decides to head for St. Louis, where he begins working as a test pilot, barnstormer, stunt flyer and mail pilot.
Fall 1926 - Bored with mail flying, Lindbergh dreams of capturing the $25,000 Orteig Prize that will be given to the first aviator to fly nonstop between New York and Paris. He starts searching for the financial backers necessary to sponsor his flight. Time is of the essence because several other teams of pilots in the U.S. and France, including U.S. Navy Commander Richard Byrd, are preparing their own transatlantic flights.
April 1927 - Construction on Lindbergh's plane, built by the Ryan Aeronautical Company in San Diego, is completed, and Lindbergh conducts a series of test flights.
May 12, 1927 - Lindbergh arrives in New York. He had crossed the entire country in less than twenty-two hours of flying time. The media takes a shine to Lindbergh, not only because he is physically the most attractive of all the fliers attempting the New York/Paris flight but because he is the only one attempting the journey on his own.
May 20, 1927 - At 7:54 am, Lindbergh, who has not slept in almost twenty-four hours, takes off from Long Island's Roosevelt Field.
May 21, 1927 - At 10:54 pm, Lindbergh lands at Le Bourget airfield near Paris. A human tidal wave of spectators, 150,000 strong, is there to greet him and Lindbergh is quickly caught up in the riptide of the masses. Overnight, the modern wonders of communication transform the 25-year "boy" into the most famous man on earth.
June 10, 1927 - Lindbergh returns to the U.S. on board the U.S.S. Memphis. He gets his first taste of the reception that lies ahead: a convoy of four destroyers, two army blimps, and 40 airplanes accompany the Memphis up Chesapeake Bay. Hundreds of thousands turn out to honor Lindbergh as he receives the first Distinguished Flying Cross from President Coolidge.
June 13, 1927 - More than four million people turn out for events honoring the flier in New York. By this time, Lindbergh has become the most photographed man in the world.
December 13, 1927 - Lindbergh departs from Washington, D.C. for a nonstop flight to Mexico City. He is making the trip at the invitation of the new U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Dwight Morrow, who hopes to lessen tensions between the two countries. While staying at the embassy for Christmas he meets Anne Morrow, one of the ambassador's daughters.
Spring 1928 - Lindbergh flies the "Spirit of St. Louis" to Washington, DC, where he donates it to the Smithsonian Institution for permanent exhibition.
May 27, 1929 - Anne Morrow and Charles Lindbergh are wed.
August 23, 1948 - Lindbergh's book, Of Flight and Life, is published.
April 7, 1954 - In a private ceremony in Washington, D.C., Lindbergh is sworn in as a Brigadier General. He also serves on a congressional commission to select a permanent location for the United States Air Force Academy. He adds even more to his prestige later in the year when he completes his autobiography, The Spirit of St. Louis. The book becomes an overwhelming bestseller and receives the Pulitzer Prize.
1962 - Lindbergh becomes increasingly interested in the impact that "civilization" is having on the earth and its wilderness areas, indigenous tribes, and wildlife.
July 1964 - Lindbergh debuts as an advocate for conservation with a Reader's Digest article entitled "Is Civilization Progress?" By this time, ecological matters consume practically all of his reading and writing time.
Summer 1969 - Lindbergh, who has fallen in love with the Hawaiian islands, begins building a home on Maui.
October 1972 - During a routine examination, Lindbergh's doctor discovers an abnormal node that proves to be cancerous. He undergoes radiation therapy at the end of January and recuperates in Hawaii. He also arranges with the state and church authorities to secure a 30-foot wide burial plot near his home.
August 26, 1974 - Lindbergh dies in Hawaii.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lovey!
Facts about Lovey
- Breed: Shih Tzu Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Lovey's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Lovey – what an appropriate name for this little snuggler! He's a little fuzzball who wants to cuddle and hug all the time.
This 6 year-old Shih Tzu mix was saved from euthanasia at county animal control. He had a growth on his neck that has been surgically removed and is healing nicely. He's got the pep back in his step and he's ready to move into your home!
Lovey gets along with everyone – cats, kids and dogs. He's a playful boy who will dance on his hind legs for treats. His ideal owner will be a small dog lover who can give him loving care and attention as he finishes the road to recovery.
Other Pets at Furever Friends Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lovey, a Gilbert Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

Your Cook County TIF tax
Chicago and Cook County property owners: When your tax bill arrives in the mailbox in the next few weeks, don't just write a check and send it in. Read the fine print. You might learn something that's been a well-kept secret.
For the first time, every owner with property in a tax increment financing district will see exactly how much of his or her money flows into a TIF. That's money that doesn't go to your schools, parks and other taxing bodies and until now was not itemized. The money may be well-spent. It may be poorly spent. But with this tax bill, many people will learn for the first time how much they are contributing to this economic development tool.
Tax increment financing has become more controversial in recent years, especially in Chicago, as government budgets have tightened. To critics, TIFs divert taxpayer money that would otherwise go to schools and other taxing bodies into business district infrastructure and other improvements. But to supporters, TIFs are a smart tool that, when applied correctly, spur economic development in neighborhoods desperate to improve their business climates.
A one-paragraph backgrounder: TIFs are designated areas within cities and towns that are allowed to freeze assessments and then siphon off a portion of property taxes. As property assessments rise over time, the extra portion of tax revenue stays within the TIF district itself to be spent on roads or other amenities that make the area attractive for more business development. TIFs are supposed to expire after 23 years, returning to the tax rolls more productive, lucrative properties than before the TIF existed.
But several factors have contributed to the controversies over TIFs: In Chicago, they have been used in bustling downtown areas — hardly "blighted," which was the law's original intent. City Hall for years did a poor job of showing how TIF money was being spent. Transparency has improved under Mayor Rahm Emanuel. But questions constantly arise over whether TIFs are slush funds for stashing taxpayer money that will be spent as city government wishes. It's true that TIFs have been used as piggy banks to plug financial shortfalls for schools and other governments. So were they serving their original purposes or those of politicians?
Emanuel's administration has slowed the development of new TIFs. Under former Mayor Richard M. Daley, they sprouted in just about every corner of the city.
Chicago Public Schools receives millions in surplus TIF money each year — money that builds up in a TIF fund but isn't committed to a shovel-ready project. Yet there's always an effort to get more. Most recently: Some aldermen are exploring TIF revenue as a way to pump more money into underfunded city pensions, perhaps by borrowing against future TIF proceeds.
No matter your opinion on TIFs, how much each property owner paid into them was a mystery. Tax bills listed TIFs but left blank the exact dollar amount being diverted into them. So while it appeared a certain portion of property taxes was going to, say, local schools, a chunk of that money — maybe a big chunk — was actually going to the TIF.
Now it'll be in writing, thanks to Cook County Clerk David Orr's office. About 1 in 5 city property owners and 1 in 8 suburban property owners have some portion of their property tax payments shifted into a TIF.
Now they'll be able to see how much.
Will that amount strike you as too much or too little?
Orr reports, you decide.
