Crystal Framing Gallery's staff skillfully handles a range of customer requests, from traditional photography and portrait framing to special projects such as engraving, photo restoration, and object framing. Patrons choose from more than 2,000 available materials and framing styles that include conservation, shadow boxing, and glued macaroni.
While living in New Zealand for eight months, Art Hauptman fell in love with the country's thriving café culture. At Cassatt's Kiwi Cafe & Gallery, he captures that spirit with New Zealand–inspired items such as meat and vegetable pies complemented by homemade tomato chutney. Chefs also toss salads with warm roasted beet and goat cheese, sauté pan-roasted chicken breast in a curry coconut sauce, and craft homemade desserts such as pavlova. To help wash down dishes, staffers whip up specialty drinks such as the flat white—a New Zealand-style latte—with coffee brewed in-house and pour imported New World wines from countries such as New Zealand and South Africa.
Named for impressionist painter Mary Cassatt, the café surrounds diners with monthly showings of work by local artists from the Arlington Artists Alliance. Along with visual art, the cozy bistro hosts live musicians every Saturday night, who play everything from Appalachian tunes to American blues.
The artisans behind K.H. Art & Framing understand that the best kind of preservation combines traditional techniques with modern technology. Each day, they draw on more than 20 years of experience as they craft museum-quality frames with 200 moulding options and conservation-grade glass and matting. Inside their photo lab, staffers look to the future, printing passport photos and canvas prints or digitally restoring images before storing them safely on CDs. While framers and technicians preserve memories, curators stay busy filling the studio's gallery with artwork—such as oil paintings, lithographs, and silk-screens—from both local and international artists. They also sell posters that can turn a house into a home or a bathroom stall into a personal workspace.
Experienced artist and framer Sara Minarik helps to conserve cherished photos and apprized accolades from the quality-diminishing effects of the world with custom frames cradling museum-quality materials. Memento memorializers can submit their souvenirs to Applegate's talented picture-preservers and rest assured that all pop-art posters, beloved sports memorabilia, and original recipes for raisins will be returned in a framed shield of see-through body armor that flatters as much as it protects. Though project rates vary as much as their framed-in contents, a complete 5"x7" frame with acid-free matting and UV-filtering glass usually starts at around $100. Patrons can customize keepsakes by choosing their favorite materials from a selection of more than 1,500 frames and more than 1,200 matting options. All framing services are completed in Applegate's store.
In June 2010, after a late-night session of painting, drinking, and generally rousting about with a group of friends, magazine editor Michael M. Clements found himself pondering an unshakeable question: "Wouldn't it be great if we could do this at a bar?" The seeds of ArtJamz sprouted almost immediately into a traveling party, where the caterers brought not only beer and wine but also all-you-can-paint palettes, for-sale blank canvases, and invaluable artistic expertise. In the two years since that fateful, paint-spattered night, ArtJamz has become a citywide phenomenon, organizing collaborative events with the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and finally realizing the founding fathers' vision of a tie-dyed capitol building.
Although these creative enablers still operate pop-up events at galleries and retail spaces across D.C., the brand-new, 1,800-square-foot permanent studio in Dupont Circle has an open-house policy to enable paint parties seven days a week. Freestyle paint sessions and classes are offered, charging separatley for studio time, canvas, and drinks. Day hours keep artists aged 5–18 in mind, whereas nightly sessions feature beer, wine, and creative cocktails for the 21+ set. More than 32 distinct colors await inspired brushes, and the walls of the cozy venue are fair game for a fresh coat. A trained staff is always on hand to offer advice if needed or requested, and to make sure nobody loses an ear.
William Wilson Corcoran believed in American artists at a time when most collectors bought only European paintings. The financier-turned-philanthropist made friends with masters such as Thomas Doughty and George Inness, bought what interested him, and even opened up his home twice a week so the public could view his collection. And that practice was the seed which grew into the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The formal location opened in 1874 with 98 paintings and sculptures from Corcoran's personal collection. Today, that collection exceeds 16,000.
The focus on 18th- to 20th-century American artists such as Mary Cassatt and Andy Warhol remains—but that doesn't mean the gallery has blinders on. It also holds works by European luminaries such as Pablo Picasso and Edgar Degas. The collection even extends into decorative art such as the Salon Doré, an 18th-century French period room once housed in Paris's Hôtel de Clermont.
In the same way the Corcoran Gallery extends beyond American art, it pushes its purpose beyond simply displaying masterpieces. Year-round events include lectures from prominent critics as well as live performances and wine mixers. The Corcoran even nurtures the next generation of talent with after-school and weekend classes that teach students how to draw everything from landscapes to landscapes covered with bowls of fruit.

Forget Will and Kate: Hollywood's own royal wedding just might go down, after all.
Brad Pitt admits in the new Hollywood Reporter that he and love Angelina Jolie, after seven years together, are champing at the bit to get married.
PHOTOS: Brad's many, many hairstyles
"We'd actually like to," the Oscar nominee, 48, admits. "And it seems to mean more and more to our kids." But the parents to Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and Knox and Vivienne, 3, famously declared they wouldn't wed until gay marriage was legalized nationwide. But the "Moneyball" star and "In the Land of Blood and Honey" director Jolie, 36, are beginning to buckle, he tells the magazine.
PHOTOS: Brad and Angelina's most PDA-packed moments
"We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to do it till everyone can," he says. "But I don't think we'll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment"
The once-married (to Jennifer Aniston) Pitt wouldn't reveal whether he's actually proposed to Jolie. "I'm not going to go any further…But to be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous."
PHOTOS: Angelina Jolie's epic life and its parallels to another legend
Another possibility? A seventh kid! "We haven't closed the book on it," he says of adding to their brood, at least via adoption, anyway. "There's a really nice balance in the house right now, but if we see the need and get that lightning bolt that says, 'We can help this person; we could do something here.'"

Japan's May Iran crude imports slide ahead of sanctions
Imports fall 46.5 pct y/y before EU restrictions on Sunday; Overall oil purchases increase; Nominations for June, July at about 12,000 bpd
June 28, 2012 1:35 by Reuters
Japan's crude imports from Iran almost halved in May from a year ago as refiners in the world's third-largest economy lifted less oil in advance of an EU ban on insurance for shipments from the Middle Eastern country that goes into effect on Sunday.
Customs-cleared imports of oil from Iran fell 46.5 percent in May from a year earlier to 106,162 barrels per day (523,233 kilolitres), data from Japan's Ministry of Finance showed on Thursday. They fell 7.4 percent from 118,450 bpd in April.
Japan has been cutting purchases from Iran before the insurance ban starts even though its demand for oil has risen to fuel power plants after all the country's nuclear stations were shut down in the wake of the Fukushima disaster.
Overall crude imports rose 7.1 percent to about 3.4 million barrels a day in May, according to the ministry.
Iranian oil accounted for nearly 9 percent of Japan's crude imports last year. Japan has reduced the flow already to comply with U.S. sanctions requiring buyers to make sizeable cuts.
Iran acknowledged for the first time on Wednesday that its oil exports have fallen sharply, down 20-30 percent from normal volumes of 2.2 million barrels daily.
Crude buyers in Japan, South Korea, China and India, Iran's biggest Asian customers, have had to cut shipments because they rely on European insurers to cover liabilities for accidents and oil spills.
Around 90 percent of the world's tanker fleet is covered by Western-based protection and indemnity (P&I) clubs, which insure against personal injury and environmental clean-up claims.
Japan's parliament last week passed a law that provides coverage for shipments from Iran, the first country to try to get around the insurance ban, but buyers held off from making significant nominations for next month.
Japan nominated loadings of 120,000 bpd for both June and July, sources said, unchanged from May but down significantly from a year earlier, to comply with sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
The United States and the European Union accuse Iran of trying to build nuclear weapons. Tehran says the programme is strictly for civilian purposes.

It deeply upset me as he's always been the heart of that show and he portrayed one of the smartest and most respectable characters ever written for television.

In the Medicaid program, states must provide all mandatory services and may provide optional services. States must provide the same benefits to all mandatory and optional client groups and may not pick and choose which client groups to provide which services.
Mandatory Services under Federal Medicaid LawStates may choose to cover additional groups under Medicaid, such as children and other people whose medical expenses reduce their income to the state's ceiling to qualify as medical needy. Almost two-thirds of Medicaid spending (1998) is "optional".
Upper Payment Limit (UPL)In the early 1990s many states through DSH (disproportionate share hospital program) captured millions of dollars of additional federal Medicaid funds. Congress then imposed DSH restrictions and the growth of DSH slowed dramatically. Since then 28 states have used the UPL (Upper Payment Limit) loophole to maximize federal funding by claiming federal matching funds at the "upper payment limit" for hospitals and nursing homes.
The UPL, which is set by Medicare, may in reality be higher than the actual costs of providing care. States would massively inflate their payments to state or county owned hospitals and nursing homes. When those payments were averaged with the lower payments made to private facilities, the state as a whole would be at the maximum charge, making the situation technically legal. In many states, however, those overpayments were not being used to improve or increase access health care. States tended to bring in the difference and spends it elsewhere in the budget. In FY 2000 HCFA (now CMS) estimated that $1.9 billion was expended by the use of UPL.
In November 2001, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that it would phase out UPL by 2010 with 14 states being cut off this winter. These states are:
Colorado | Kentucky | New York |
Florida | Michigan | South Carolina |
Georgia | Minnesota | Texas |
Idaho | Montana | Wasington |
Indiana | Nebraska |
Fourteen other states will lose the additional money when the new reimbursement rule becomes final, probably late winter 2002. California and Illinois, which rely heavily on DSL payments, will not be affected for three years and will receive some inflated payments over the short term. The phase out of UPL, while expected, comes at a very difficult time. This action will further deepen the budget hole in the states impacted by the phase out of this Medicaid loophole.
Health Insurance Flexibility and Accountability Demonstration Waivers (HIFA)Medicaid is at a crossroads. Concerns by states over shrinking revenues and rising costs in general and Medicaid in particular come at a time when the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has promised State leaders at the October 2001 National Council of State Legislature's Annual Health Conference in Seattle that all requests for 1115 waivers would be reviewed quickly.
To receive federal funds, a state must comply with consumer protections in federal Medicaid law relating to health care benefits, co-payments and premiums, and enrollments. Section 1115 waivers when approved allow states to use different rules for demonstration, pilot, or experimental projects.
CMS has introduced the new Health Insurance Flexibility and Accountability Demonstration Initiative (HIFA). The purpose of the HIFA demonstration is to encourage states to expand coverage to new populations, but does not offer states any new federal funds with which to help finance such expansions. States must finance any expansions that they adopt with "savings" that they generate by reducing spending on current beneficiaries or by drawing on unexpended SCHIP monies.
In the Medicaid program, states must provide all mandatory services and may provide optional services. States must provide the same benefits to all mandatory and optional client groups and may not pick and choose which client groups to provide which services. Under HIFA waivers, these protections can be lifted. HIFA will enable states to redesign their Medicaid programs by slashing benefits for optional beneficiaries. States could be permitted to provide less than the mandatory benefits package and to cut services to adults and children in optional groups. As these waivers are rolled out they will require close attention, as many adults and children with mental illness are served in Medicaid as optional beneficiaries.
Nine states have applied or are in the application process for HIFA waivers. Options under consideration include capping enrollment by imposing waiting lists for clients in certain client groups, cost-sharing (co-payments and premiums), and reducing access to some services for certain client groups.
States in application for HIFA waivers include: | ||
Texas | Oregon | Tennessee |
Arizona | Washington | New Mexico |
Colorado | Illinois | Utah |
Trends: Prescription Drugs
In November 2001, The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) reported that in 44 states revenue collections were below forecast levels. Medicaid costs continue to balloon in the health care sector. Faced with mounting costs and declining revenues, states are looking for ways to control costs and scale back Medicaid.
Reports from the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured indicated that in 48 states Medicaid officials reported that the cost of prescription drugs was the #1 cost driver in Medicaid. Other factors increasing Medicaid expenditures include provider rate increases, long term care costs and enrollment increases driven by the recession, the S-CHIPS expansion and efforts to cover uninsured workers.
In virtually every state Medicaid officials have been directed by the Governor to prepare proposals to reduce Medicaid spending. Reflecting the urgency of the budget problem, states are considering every possible action that might reduce expenditures.
In FY 2002 efforts to reign in the costs of prescription drugs will include increased restrictions on prescription drug costs and utilizations. Some of the more common cost management strategies will be:
The fiscal condition of states has worsened substantially over the past six months. 44 states report that revenues are already below forecasted levels. Budgets that were passed in the spring of 2001 are already in jeopardy. The only states holding steady are those with significant oil, gas or mineral industries, and even they show signs of weakening. States are now confronted with higher expense (unemployment, new security and public health expenditures) at a time that fewer tax dollars are coming in. It is important to note that these shortfalls and spending spikes do not include the impacts from the September 11 terrorist's attacks. The degree of the shortfalls varies from state to state, region to region.
The large number of states struggling with tight budgets is reminiscent of the recession on the early 90s. State Legislatures will again be challenged to keep FY 2002 budgets balanced and enact budgets for FY 2003 under the worst conditions in a decade. To deal with this squeeze states all across the nation have begun to make budget cuts and/or to freeze spending or have plans to do so. As 2002 is an election year, it is not anticipated that new taxes will be part of the strategies to fill these gaps.
According to the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) expenditures are exceeding budgeted levels and/or revenues are below projections in the following states:
States facing Budget Cuts | |||
Alabama | Idaho | Minnesota | Oregon |
Alaska | Illinois | Mississippi | Rhode Island |
Arizona | Indiana | Missouri | South Carolina |

This theme explores evolving trends across two distinct but interrelated areas of socio-cultural behaviour: migration (and the act of immigration this entails) and multiculturalism. Migration and multiculturalism are key factors in social change and development especially in relation to the unique 'laboratory' a supranational institution such as the EU represents.
The University of Oxford's International Migration Institute asked, in the course of a 2011 study, which factors are relatively certain when thinking about the long-term future of migration? Considered as both international migration and intra-EU migration, the diagram below illustrates their responses:
In an earlier briefing, the Institute also sought to investigate which factors are most uncertain when thinking about the long-term future of migration. They asked which of these 'uncertainties' is likely to have the greatest impact on migration? Their ideas were also accompanied by a visual representation:
The work of the Institute is instructive in helping us confront the complexity the themes of migration and multiculturalism pose for contemporary policy making. In addition, their work also highlights the clear interdependencies which exist, thus helping us better appreciate the range and combination of economic, political and social factors which need to be considered: either in a migrant's country of origin (push factors) or in the country of destination (pull factors).
In addition, migration and economic policies exhibit wide variation at the state-level and so we seek to introduce ideas on more generalised trends which could impact each of the EU28 members in some way.
International migration
Since the 1990's the EU has become a major destination for international migration flows. For example, data from 2010 suggests that up to 23% of the world's migrants chose Europe as a destination, leading to 9.5 per cent of the EU's population being considered 'born abroad'.
Prior to the economic crisis the EU recorded net migration of 1.5 million people with 55% originating from outside the EU and 44% moving from one EU country to another. In 2009, net migration was estimated at 1.1 million. Figures for 2011 show there were 33.3 million foreign citizens living in the EU, of whom 20.5 million were third country nationals (i.e. nationals of non-EU countries). The number of foreign-born (which includes those who have naturalised or are dual nationals) was 48.9 million or 9.7 per cent of the total population, thus showing a recovering trend.
We should also note some changes in this period in the direction of certain global migration flows, that is, countries that were once source countries of migration become destination countries of migration, with Ireland and Turkey notable in this regard.
Intra-EU migration
Intra-EU mobility has undergone significant changes in its composition and dynamics since the economic crisis of 2009.
Firstly, between 2004 and 2008, the number of citizens of new Member States living in the EU-15 increased by more than 1 million, reflecting large movements of primarily Polish, Baltic, Romanian and Bulgarian workers in, what was then, an emergent East-West dynamic. However, this form of post-enlargement migration is regarded as having been primarily driven by labour market conditions and largely monetary motives so making it sensitive to local financial or employment circumstances as the crisis bit. Coupled, in the short term, with a limited further enlargement process (restricted to just Croatia) has led some commentators to suggest the large 'flows' experienced in the last ten years may be coming to an end.
As an extension to this, there is varied conjecture as to how migration involving Romanian and Bulgarian nationals will evolve once the current transitional arrangements are lifted on an EU-wide basis in 2014. Some propose they'll maintain their demonstrated interest in moving mostly to Italy or Spain based on historic networks, existing expatriate communities and also the dynamics of 'chain migration'. This would suggest a trend continuing along similar lines as today.
One further trend which has been observed is the number of people emigrating from crisis-hit countries, particularly Spain and Greece. Research from the Migration Policy Institute suggests there is evidence of higher numbers of citizens of southern countries now living in other EU Member States. This is substantiated by government statistics demonstrating such emigration represents relocation to other parts of the EU (rather than non-EU destination countries) and also data indicating Germany has received a boost in workers from southern Europe.
We are also seeing the emergence of increased migration for non-work reasons with "multifaceted life-plans and strategies of mobility" partially replacing just economically led migration. This could be an interesting area to watch in the future. Another impetus for migration in the longer term may well be climate change: coastal and riverine/flood plain populations may seek new homes as a result of extreme storms and sea-level rise, or their threat; agricultural business owners and workers may need to shift locales to keep cash crops alive (eg, French vintners moving to England); or the elderly seek respite from rising temperatures, for reasons of health.
These trends should be set against a backdrop of intra-EU immigration rebounding by 15% in 2011 after a decline of almost 40% during the economic crisis (2007-2010).
Multiculturalism trends
We interpret multiculturalism as being the process whereby immigrants belong in their host countries (are integrated and permanently settled) and thus policy is centrally concerned with constructing new relations of citizenship.
A key component of current EU immigration in its current form is promoting the integration of third country nationals, but as the DG Home Affairs states "… the EU is not responsible for integration, [but] it is supporting national and local policies with policy coordination, exchange of knowledge and financial support."
A number of relevant trends in this area can be identified:
Changing public perceptions on the impact of immigration (on the host country) have, and remain, a evolving trend with a variety of issues being brought to bear as the focus of discussion (from the overall economic benefits of migration to local communities through to the propensity of migrant groups towards deliberate 'welfare tourism'). Indeed, a 2011 IPSOS global survey indicated that (across a range of questions) "nearly half (45%) of world citizens believe immigration has had a negative impact on their country".
As noted by the Brussels-based Migration Policy Institute "…from the 1970s to mid-1990s, there was a clear trend across Western democracies toward the increased recognition and accommodation of diversity through a range of multiculturalism policies (MCPs) and minority rights." However, the idea of MCP become subject to political critique during the 1990's. Using the Multiculturalism Policy Index, research has ranked the strength of immigrant MCPs across 21 OECD countries at three points in time: 1980, 2000, and 2010. Despite the political critique, the clear trend has been toward the expansion of MCPs over the past 30 years, including in the last ten. Accordingly, over this period the MPI suggests we are witnessing "an interesting trend: a modest strengthening of MCPs and a more dramatic increase in civic integration requirements".
We are also seeing evidence of the emergence of a more stringent "rights versus duties" narrative in social policy with the UK coalition government's ongoing dispute with the EU in relation to its measures to curb employment and family benefits to EU immigrants as illustrative.

Quoted Text Mold is an invisible microscopic organism and it is everywhere. It is in the air and grows on everything. Typically we can't see it until it grows into larger colonies. It is the most widespread living organism in thousands of varieties indoors and out.Mold puts out showers of spores into the air that can be in the millions. It is present in highest numbers in the spring and fall, but is present in all seasons and is often underestimated for the vast amount of havoc it can perpetrate on one's health.Molds make toxins called mycotoxins that can do the same damage to our health as any chemical such as formaldehyde, toluene, natural gas or trichloethylene. They can even initiate cancers, cause chemical sensitivity and just about any symptom you can think of ranging from high blood pressure to depression.Not only do molds trigger typical organs such as nose, chest or skin with allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, rashes, hives and eczema, but the brain can also be the target organ.Mold can be a primary cause of depression, obsessive compulsion, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, schizophrenia, tourettes syndrome, migraines, headaches, or inability to concentrate.In susceptible individuals mold can also cause dermatitis, dizziness, fatigue, algias, irritability, weakness, burning eyes, arthritis, lower IQ, chest pain, shortness of breath, confusion, hyperactivity, symptoms attributed to MS, heart palpitations, cravings for sweets or carbohydrates, gastrointestinal distress such as irritable bowel, indigestion, heartburn, etc., and much more. "
Quoted Text omg, I just finished going through a bag of stuff from a few years back, early btd, days and one thing that caught my attention, is exactly what you stated, that canned sardines balance something in the brain, to relieve depression. I came in here, to post and just read above post. That is great!
Quoted from Ribbit The voices of my kids hurt my ears.
Quoted from Goldie Sharon what a nice post and interesting about your need for sardines.. interesting.. where did you ever figure that out?? it makes sense as you explain it.. I dont eat fish so I would not know what they yaste like, but if they are good for you then you found a wonderful way to keep your balance.. so good to hear..
Quoted from Ribbit I will do everything Dr. D just said to do. Thank you.
Quoted from Possum Can anyone tell me why the sardines have to be plain? If you put sour cream on them they are no longer plain... So is it something in the process if they are canned in oil... I usually buy sardines in olive oil - tried the same brand in spring water recently & didn't enjoy them, as they were "dry"...
Quoted Text Goldie said: ADD is the difficulty in thinking and thinking being all over the place.. .............YES, IT is difficult to juggle when all the balls are square or pointed or loud or just difficult.
Quoted Text Maria Giovanna said: Can you organize to have help for the housekeeping and the children for just some months,................ And if Christine Kent says you should see a physician, look for a smart one soon ! I hope you feel better quickly.
Quoted Text Isa said: try not to identify with whatever..whom ever
Quoted Text What Arlene said: My philosophy is the more I know and understand about my genetic tendencies, like being a non-secretor, alcoholism, & depression, the more I can help myself to find ways to protect myself............... Being in denial is what causes the major crises.
Quoted Text Policy Checker said: How well are you following the diet....
Quoted Text 4th Rabbit said: Sounds like a magnesium deficiency; adrenal burnout, extreme sensitivity to noise (does your whole body feel like one big ear?). Try bumping up your mag intake and see if symptoms abate...Are you able to get sleep? Sleep is healing.
Quoted Text Gemini Sue said: make sure you are not mixing corn and beans together, that leads to many of the problems you described above. Giving you a HUG and suggesting you take a little time to yourself, each day, even if only an hour......Try not to leave the world's problems effect you, but take note of them, and realize how you are so blessed......Does watching a movie with the children relax you?
Quoted Text Sharon what a nice post and interesting about your need for sardines.. interesting.. where did you ever figure that out?? it makes sense as you explain it.. I don't eat fish so I would not know what they taste like, but if they are good for you then you found a wonderful way to keep your balance.. so good to hear.. Goldie, I learned about sardines from LRFYT. Dr. D'Adamo listed sardines as beneficial and the portion for fish and AB non-secretors is 4-6 times/week. So I started eating sardines and noticed a positive change. I never ate any fish growing up except fish sticks at school on Fridays and the occasional tuna fish sandwich. My mom hated fish and never had it in the house but she did eat one sardine everyday when she was pregnant with me and my brother. She hated eating them but thought it would be good for our growing brains. I now know what a big sacrifice that was for her because she still hates fish and can hardly be in the same room with me while I eat my daily can of sardines. We're both very grateful that we were introduced to sardines through Dr. D.
Quoted from Goldie we who answered will be able to follow your post without all that extra work................. but natural foods might be much better since all meds have side effects..
Quoted Text but that tendency is still there and I have to keep reminding myself (and other people who, for some reason think I'm brilliant) that the ADD doesn't just go away when you get out of school.
Quoted from Goldie Sharon what a nice post and interesting about your need for sardines.. interesting.. where did you ever figure that out??
Quoted from Ribbit I've known some crazy people to rant coherently. Hitler, as I recall, was quite the orator. Sometimes you have to be around a person many years before you realize something's wrong.
Quoted from SoulfulLori Personally, I think you are suffering from MAJOR exhaustion.
Quoted from Ribbit Thank you, MG.Arlene, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MisophoniaPeople who have misophonia are most commonly annoyed, or even enraged, by the sound of other people eating or breathing. Oddly, they are not normally annoyed by sounds that they themselves make. Reactions to these sounds are not limited however to just loud eating noises, people with Misophonia find themselves affected by all kinds of noises.Often, people who have misophonia are also annoyed by other people's repetitive movements, such as leg-tapping, nail-biting and typing.Sensitivity to these sounds tends to be exacerbated by stress or feeling tired/run down.Sounds like your father??? Sounds like me too, except I don't get angry, I just want to run away. Fight or flight. Your dad had the "fight" and I have the "flight".
Quoted from Ribbit Based on some of the pm's I've gotten, mostly from people who don't know me well, I feel the need to write an explanation. I know y'all are tying to help, but let me say this: I am not negligent of my children. I do not sit in my room all day while they watch tv. We don't even own a tv. I spend more time with my children than working parents who have their children in school/daycare all day. My children are smart and they learn quickly. They haven't inherited any of my issues, or at least I can't see any yet. (My son got a little perhaps, but it may just be that he's a boy and he processes things differently. That's what DH thinks anyway.) We don't eat fast food when I've had a long day. I cook everything that goes in their mouths except rice cakes. And nuts. And dried fruit. And fresh fruit. You get the picture. There is no need to worry about the health and well-being of anybody except perhaps me. They are okay. They are very happy and social and while I might say "They deserve better than me," that's the depression talking. Everybody I know says I'm a good mother (even if on the scattered side). So please don't call Child Protective Services. Just because my ears hurt doesn't mean I'm neglecting them or that I need to stick them somewhere away from me. Perhaps this board was the wrong place to dump. Again, I know everybody's trying to help, but really I need advice like: Take vitamin C and eat sardines.
Quoted from Dr. Tomatis The vagus nerve - the nerve of the vagrant soul.
Quoted from Ribbit The right side of my nose is fine. The left side is usually a little stopped up. Oh. Huh. Everything's on the left side. Interesting. That's where my nosebleeds come from too--the left side.
Quoted Text The left side is what stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, right? Do you have a deviated septum? Maybe those breathe-right strips will help, at least at night (which is probably the most important time). I tried them recently and was quite satisfied with the result!
Quoted from paul clucas Print out Dr. D' Adamo's recommendations. Multiple copies. Paste one on a wall at eye level in an out-of-the-way place where you will be forced to read it everyday.Try to get some Gregorian chant to listen to ......Your combined pathologies make tons of sense to me. I know that this is little help, but eating and treating as Dr. D' Adamo recommends is your best way to tackle the load!
Quoted from Ribbit Our vacuum is broken and a friend came over today to clean my carpets with her fantastic vacuum. It needed it. The little ones had spilled cat food, rice and flax seeds on the carpet. Imagine.
Quoted from Symbi Wonder if there are other adaptogens you could take and alternate them? Like Korean or Chinese ginseng, Ashwaghanda, and Ginkgo biloba etc.
Quoted Text I don't want roosters for several reasons, and certainly not to eat.
Quoted from Ribbit I did finally get a hold of the Atlanta Tomatis center (after repeated calls and e-mails) and the very friendly secretary (who I wanted to hug through the phone because she was so nice) said they've never treated an adult and she doesn't know if it's available at all. I asked her if she'd be willing to look into it, and she readily agreed and said she'd get back to me.
Quoted from Ribbit Funny that you mention hanging Dr. D's suggestions at eye level. I'm the queen of notes and lists and hanging things at eye level so I'll see them. I'm just on the verge of realizing that to survive adulthood I have to reorganize my life totally differently from most people. "They" say it takes 7 days or 21 days or (whatever the newest studies prove) to create a habit. But not for me. If it's not right in front of me where I can see it, I won't remember it. See, THAT sort of input is helpful. Thanks, Paul.
Quoted from Ribbit We played board games this afternoon and I wore headphones (the sound-deafening kind). I could still hear them, but the noise didn't hurt my ears. I'm considering trying one little foam ear plug in my left ear.
Quoted from Goldie all you issues are on the left side.. ???? above the shoulders or below also?? the left side of the brain is the logical side.. so if that needs changes then maybe there is a clue.. but if its the whole body on the left than its another thing..
Quoted from Goldie I had a chicken that was meant for th pot.. then it layed on egg and so made all the difference in it's own life.. for 16 years.. I could diaper it and I could put it in the baby carrige and take it for a walk but----- I could never teach it to stay out of the neighbors yard.. they complaint bitterly.. but the worms over there where so much better.. must have been on O type chicken.. Its geno Na,e was Züsex.. beige and white feathers.. it killed any other bird we tried to add to the coop.. by morning it was time for a funeral.. but every sunday morning that chicken layed on egg on my soft quilt.. and not a spot on it.. WOW!!!! so much fun to remember.. we used to put a date on the eggs so udse them up in succession.. they where brown eggs..
Quoted from Ribbit Possum, we're still waiting to get chickens. I asked DH when the coops were going to be ready and he said, "They're basically ready. Almost." And I said, "Well, when they're ready, I'll order chickens. I'm waiting on you to finish." And he said, "If you order the chickens, it forces me to finish." Ah-ha! I thought. It's motivation he needs. He said, "Give me a deadline and I'll have them finished. So. I'll be ordering chickens soon. A fellow homeschooling family nearby said they were interested in ordering some too, and they'd be willing to take all the roosters (to eat) if we make a bulk order and split it. I don't want roosters for several reasons, and certainly not to eat.
Quoted from Ribbit I know. We raised several batches of chickens in my teenage years and I quickly learned to despise those roosters. Daddy said I'd get used to them crowing and wouldn't hear them after a while, but I'm a light enough sleeper that I always heard them, even though he put the pen way down in the woods. And then one attacked my leg one day and that was the end for me. I'll stick with hens, thankyouverymuch.
Quoted Text Amen, MD.. Change your Brain Change your Life
Quoted from Ribbit Okay, Dr. D. I sent Rob to the grocery store this morning and he got sardines. So I'm munching on a sardine/peanut butter/rye cracker snack. I think I'm going to have to say I'm glad I have a cold and can't taste or smell anything.
Quoted Text I can't take vit. E that one really messes her up.
Quoted from Goldie if it is not low over time then you can rule that out.. B 12 will help.. It's always low. 90/60 is about right for me, even throughout pregnancy (it's supposed to go up some then, but mine doesn't much until the very end).[color=purple]Maybe I was already weak there and that's why this whole thing happened anyway. something triggered it as you where ok before.. by chance did you get your period the same time? I haven't had a period in so long it's not funny.DID you do the temp thing.. under the arm right as you wake up before moving around// .. shake down the night before it would tell if your thyroid is ok.. worth doing.. T3-uptake is low. Temperature is always low even though I always feel hot.
Quoted from battle dwarf I haven't had a period in so long it's not funny.thats hormones,(and a sign of imballance) i really would have them checked. actully the bp is not so bad, a little on the low side but not too bad. course if you do have an undetected heart defect then it would be a bit low. have you seen that cartioligest yet? have you goten any results from tests?
Quoted from Ribbit Attn: Paul-----http://www.soundtherapyperth.com/research/emotions.phpHmmm, hmmmm, hmmmmmmmmm.
Quoted from Ribbit No, now I'm back exactly where I was before. The B12 wore off.
Quoted from Ribbit I've been on the BTD 5 years this month. I'm doing the best I know to do for my gut.
Quoted Text Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune disease that affects the gastric mucosa and results in gastric atrophy. This leads to the destruction of parietal cells, achlorhydria, and failure to produce intrinsic factor, resulting in vitamin B12 malabsorption [3,5,9-11]. If pernicious anemia is left untreated, it causes vitamin B12 deficiency, leading to megaloblastic anemia and neurological disorders, even in the presence of adequate dietary intake of vitamin B12.
Quoted from Goldie again I am wondering if you could have some issues on the left side hip bone high where your large intestines do not absorb B Vit.. give it a loving massage right to left circles.
Quoted from Goldie NO IF YOU ARE not geting enough B's into your system then the left side of your intestines is not functioning prperly.. the only way you can get enough B 12 is by injection.
Quoted from Ribbit Thank you, Joe. Every doctor I've ever seen, whether alternative or conventional, has said, "It sounds like you're anemic." But then they do their blood tests and see that everything's normal. But if I'm responding so well to the B12 shots, it must mean I'm deficient, right?I eat lots of ghee.A few days ago I got to thinking about what Dr. D said about taking oils until the PPD goes away, and I took a little measuring cup and put: 1 Tbsp. hemp oil and 2 Tbsp. Omega 3-6-9 mix. I drank it down and it tasted very good to me. Rob was standing there gagging watching me. I started feeling better! So now every morning I do that--3 Tbsp. of all that good oil. I think I started out life sort of deprived of nutrients (my mom has all sorts of issues going on, and has for a long time), even though I've been taking vitamins since I was very small. I've produced 4 beautiful, seemingly healthy children (thanks to the BTD). My body is telling me it's done. It's depleted. I've given it all to the children, and now it's time to replenish what I gave away.
Quoted from Ribbit Yes, you're right, TJ. I realize things change constantly and my body's needs change constantly. I'm learning to just keep my mouth shut, but I've gotten such a reputation with my inlaws that the latest question (this weekend) was, "So what new foods are you allergic to this month?" Stupid me, instead of laughing and ignoring the question, I attempted to explain the body's changing needs and how you can heal and eat one food again while something else may begin to bother you...and it all fell on deaf ears. Then my brother-in-law's brother-in-law (ha--figure that one out) who I haven't seen since I first met him at my SIL's and BIL's wedding 8 years ago, said, "What's the blood type diet?" Dad-in-law said some choice words and rolled his eyes. I gave a brief explanation and he said, "Huh. I'll look into it more. Because I know when I eat _________ I'll have a bad workout session. I'm an O." I think it shocked everybody into silence. I used the word "carcinogenic" and BIL said, "Can you spell that?" I spelled it and then chuckled and said, "And that was with a glass of wine down the hatch!" Everybody laughed and it sort of hid the fact that he then leaned over to his wife and said, "Is that right?" and she nodded. Maybe I scored a point in their minds by being able to not only informatively educate a newcomer with big terms like lectins and carcinogens, complete with examples for each blood type, but by also being able to spell it.

Quoted from Ribbit I was asked by a friend not too long ago, "Why do you think all this is happening to you even though you're on a good diet?" I almost burst into tears, then I realized, "Wait. It doesn't mean I'm gonna live forever! It just improves the quality of life!"
Quoted from Goldie moms .. MAY I ASK gently.. for you moms who may say you have not had a period for some years, nursing and having several little ones to run after.. would I be wrong thinking that maybe the body needs some rest.. getting regular periods for a while?? allowing you to gain your own nutrients back and nourishing YOUR body? Yes, it's important to supplement your own body to replenish it. The baby will take what it needs from the mother. Lactating mothers are instructed to eat well and continue to take prenatal vitamins (which I can't take because they make me throw up).I have a concern.. small .. but is not the first child getting all the fresh nutrients better of then the last one getting what is left over?? One might think so, but in my experience and looking at other families, it's often the last baby who outgrows everybody else! Can anybody else say that's what they've seen? I know more about nutrition now than I did when I had my first. I think that's often the case.I am not against nursing, but mentioned that some use nursing as pregnancy control .. is there not something a little out of (my non favorite word) balance?? Nursing isn't used as pregnancy control. Just because you're nursing doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. Some women breastfeed exclusively and start their cycles back very quickly. It just so happens that MINE don't start back until the baby's nearly a year and a half old. I don't see how this is out of balance. It's just the way different people's bodies work.Is there not a requirement to have a year in between to regain strength.. ? I am just asking .. Requirement? Who's gonna require it? I have heard it said (though I don't necessarily believe it's true) that if your cycles start back, it's your body's way of indicating that it's ready for another baby. Unfortunately our culture and family structure doesn't support large families because we don't have help. It's all the mommy doing all the work.
Quoted from TJ Sure is. I hate it that my health can't be a selling point!

What's the point in ability grouping if they get put in top for everything because they're top in one subject?
