CPAC Interview with Ali Hasan, Muslims for America
While I was at CPAC, I had the chance to speak a couple times with the folks from Muslims for America. I was able to get a brief interview with one of the founders, Muhammad Ali Hasan about his group and what he and his fellow members are doing.
I admit that when it comes to Islam, I am wary. There are far too many Muslims group who quickly and easily apologize for the violence and oppression that is committed every day under Islam. Far too many Muslim leaders here in America will say that the Islamists are not representative of the majority of Muslims but they never manage to cleanly separate themselves from them.
Mr. Hasan's group seems to be different and refreshing. Muslims for America seems to very clearly set itself apart from groups like CAIR. Mr. Hasan and the other folks at the booth with him were quite emphatic in their conversations that they are Americans and Muslims and that the two things go together very well. Indeed, the group's main goal is to encourage American Muslims to assimilate into their communities. It's an interesting approach and I think it deserves encouragement.
So here's my interview. Comments, as usual, are welcome.

Wonder what they thought of the protest @ the showing of Fitna and Geert Wilders visit.
- Jimmiereplied:View March 1, 2009
I heard him talk about that in an interview before I spoke to him. He's not seen Fitna yet and is going largely from news reports. He did say that his impulse is that Wilders took a lot of things bout of context and may have gotten actors to portray some of the Imams. He did say that he wanted to see the film before he had a firm opinion on it, though.
I'd says he misinformed about Wilders and, to a large degree, defensive on the subject. In all, though, I think his group is moving in the right direction.
It was great–again–to meet you last week.
I'm glad you posted this interview. I find myself very frustrated with the conservatives who refuse to accept that there can be "non-crazy" Muslims. We're getting closer to a peaceful Iraq every day, and when that happens, we'll have a strong and faithful ally–if Americans can keep it.
When I interviewed Brigitte Gabriel in October, I asked her how America can make the most of its new ally because of this very concern. (http://catherinefavazza.com/2008/10/09/interview-with-brigitte-gabriel) I know that Islamic extremism is a grave threat to democracy and peace worldwide–but I don't think that every Muslim person is a grave threat to democracy and peace.
Keep in touch!

I think our best allies against Islamism are American Muslims. All we can really do, though, to draw them in is let them know that there's a place for them here just like there's a place for everyone else. They have to take the next step to become part of the American culture – participate in the give and take that's made us as strong as we are.
It was great to meet you as well. Looking forward to doing so again soon.

>>They have to take the next step to become part of the American culture – participate in the give and take that's made us as strong as we are.>>
And what do we do about those who share the muslim brotherhood's ideals of working within the American system to impose shari'a law within 100 years? We know they're there – how do you separate the sheep from the goats – so to speak?
To be honest, I'm not sure that islam is compatible with democracy. If it's them or us who dominates in the US, I'd rather it be us. It may be that islam has to change internally…is that possible? I don't know.
As far as I'm concerned, they have a _huge_ barrier to overcome for me to learn to trust them – _any_ of them.

I am surprised you are not fully informed as to this groups contribution at CPAC regarding freedom of speech. They distributed fliers attacking Fitna. And now we learn they have never seen it! There are no actors and all of the material is accurate. Have you seen it? In fact, their fliers were fodder for Robert Spencer at the event to show just how much muslims are in self-denial of their immans. A little self-reflection would help the world and their people who live under tyranny.
See here:
They stayed and watched the film. What do they think of it now? Have they the courage to denounce the fatwa or is that an exercise to far in free speech for these muslims of peace?
- Jimmiereplied:View March 4, 2009
The specifics of the movie (which I have seen, and written about) aside, it doesn't seem like MfA is attacking free speech at all insofar as they used their own free speech to attack something with which they disagreed. I don't have a problem with their passing out flyers regardless of whether or not I agree with them. Free speech all around is fine with me.
And I never said that "they" didn't see it, only that the one person I interviewed had not.
- Thomas CarneyView March 4, 2009
Catherine, what peaceful Muslims there are are frightened to say anything. This is the issue. So, by their silence, the "peaceful" or "moderate" Muslims are enabling the "radical" Muslims to do their thing.
Islam is fanatical concerning the Koran, the Sunnafi and the Hadiths. Islam, cannot, by its own nature, "reform" itself to be peaceful in the world.
If the "majority" of Muslims are peaceful, then they'd better make themselves known… but they will not.
"By their fruits shall you know them." You know Who said that.
- FeFeView March 4, 2009
To quote you speaking to Rick Moran, "They [CPAC attendees] are not intolerant, but it is easy, and lazy, to say they are." How convenient for you to turn around and post an interview in which a muslim states "Europe is red-lining muslims," American muslims are "afraid I'm not going to be accepted" at political gatherings, and his "Uncle Grover" Norquist advises if there is a muslim sitting there "racist" things wont be said.
MfA muslims only want to know, "What can I do to help?" Cross the pro Hamas line and stand with me outside of the Israeli embassy in support of their right to exist or if that is too much for your delicate religion of peace, organize a line denouncing the rockets and mortars from Gaza. This muslim is at CPAC to enforce what he preaches, "Actions speak louder than words." Like MfA passing out material stating free speech is a "cat fight," showing Fitna is un-American, and referring to Mr. Wilders as a "foreign element?"
See fliers here:

You actually dispute that Europe is "red-lining" Muslims? I would say that's a very evident fact.
As for the rest of the links, I think you need to simply make your point instead of barraging me with links.
Look, you want Muslims to protest the Islamists. I say that we should encourage them to crawl before they sprint. A huge number of Muslims in this country are not that far removed from Islamist nations. Their religion, which they cherish very much, is publicly in the hands of killers. I'm willing to cut groups like MfA some slack while they get their feet underneath them. When their local candidates start advocating Shari'a in schools and try to pass ordinances to make women cover their heads all the time, I'll denounce them as strongly as I have denounced it in the past. Until then, though, all I'm suggesting is that we give them a little room and see what they're about before we demand that they match your level of outrage.

I don't see redlining in Europe as an issue exclusive to muslims when their leaders are calling for ghettos from the UK to the Netherlands and sharia law for them instead of integration. Not to mention hundreds of violent protests with nary a countering muslim voice.
The links provide you with parallel lines to sharia schools such as the one in VA who only recently changed texts that no longer call for violence. These links show you how much "room" we have given them. I agree that actions speak louder than words. It is time they take positive action. Just showing up no longer counts these many years after 9/11. Furthermore, MfA endorsing the UK ban on Mr. Wilders is not a step in the right direction.
I'm sorry I appear to be expressing "outrage" to you. I am simply one of those unwashed masses who you support in getting our voices listened to and not just heard. I guess my point is you are a hypocrite to allow someone to call us racist but call out another for it. If CPAC enthusiasm was anything, it was exemplified by the 13 year old young man who stated so eloquently, "It's about principles." From one shining Tea Party to the next.

If this is how you really feel about Fitna: "This is perhaps the most important and timely thing I have ever posted on The Sundries Shack," how do reconcile promoting this clip of an organization that calls Fitna's supporters un-American and racist?
You worry web sites have been taken down for posting Fitna. Are you hedging your bets?
Maybe YouTube imams are your target audience:
Type Muslim+woman+beating into an online search engine and you get a monster's parade of what I call "YouTube imams" explaining how to beat a woman according to "Islamic teaching."

Free-Standing REITs: Separating the Best from the Rest
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Boston-based STAG Industrial (STAG - Get Report) announced this week the acquisition of a portfolio of 31 primarily single tenant industrial buildings for approximately $129 million. This portfolio increases STAG's total 2012 acquisition volume to about $343 million.
The portfolio, primarily warehouse and distribution facilities, is 91% leased to 29 different tenants and was purchased at a 9% plus cap rate. The buildings are in 10 different states and represent approximately 4.3 million square feet. With the addition of this portfolio, STAG's total square footage has increased by 63% since the end of 2011.
Less than 30 days later STAG announced (8-K filed Sept. 10) that it struck an agreement with Bank of America (BAC) and other lenders for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $200 million (with an accordion of up to $300 million).
In addition, on Aug. 15 STAG closed its underwritten public offering of 9.2 million common shares. The company said that it intended to use the net proceeds to fund a portion of the anticipated $138.8 million purchase price of the STAG Investments II LLC portfolio or other acquisitions currently under contract; to repay indebtedness outstanding under its secured corporate revolving credit facility; to repay indebtedness outstanding under its Wells Fargo (WFC) master loan; for general working capital purposes, or a combination of the above.

The 'Partner exploitation and violence in teenage intimate relationships' research by the NSPCC and Bristol University provides us with an interesting (and alarming) glimpse at 'standardised relational pair' categories (Sacks, 1992) and the moral accountability attached to them (Jayussi, 1984). Sacks' work on categories and their deployment found that certain categories go together like 'boyfriend–girlfriend'. Members of these categories which form 'standardised relational pairs' have rights, responsibilities and duties to each other. In our example 'boyfriend–girlfriend', it is presumed that each person should provide a safe, supportive, caring and respectful relationship environment for each other to grow and develop. It follows then that category pairs and associated predicates (rights, responsibilities etc) are relational in the sense that one may be expected to follow the next with accountability as a moral-procedural requirement. Breaches between these categories and predicates 'one in six said they had been pressured into sexual intercourse and 1 in 16 said they had been raped', tend to generate moral outrage/alarm and interactional repair solutions 'parents and schools can perform a vital role in teaching them about loving and safe relationships, and what to do if they are suffering from violence or abuse'.

The Marcus Graham Chronicles is my personal journey of dealing with love and relationships. It is called the Marcus Graham Chronicles because of my affinity for the movie "Boomerang" and how the main character of Marcus Graham relates to me as the "black professional" man. You can check out earlier posts in this series HERE.
Make sure you check out my guest post on Curly Deviants "Long Hair…Do I Care?".
When I decided to write the Marcus Graham Chronicles I knew it would be a way for you my readers to get into my personal psyche and share some of who I am and where I am. People have tried to attach me as a voice on relationships and I have always told people my favorite moniker " I aint S***". I am not demeaning myself in that statement . I am speaking in the vain of the Cee-Lo line, "I admit, I've done some dumb s***. And I'm probably gon do some mo'. You shouldn't hold that against me though". What I mean by his is that this series may make people think I have some insightful answers on relationships when really I am just putting my general thoughts out there to free my mind and maybe give you something to think about.
So, I am admittedly somewhat of a cynic. And when I say that I mean it in the true definition of the word not the one we have been accustomed to hearing. A cynic is a person who believes that at the end of the day that we are all motivated by some form of self-gratification. You may be asking what the hell does this have to do with this entry of the Marcus Graham Chronicles? It has a lot to do with the idea of the perspective of love being intrinsic to the person and the situation. Though I don't believe in all people doing things for self-gratification (because I don't believe in absolutes) I do feel the majority of us do.
In Boomerang there is a pivotal scene where Angela (Halle Berry) finds out that Marcus Graham (Eddie Murphy) has still been messing around with Jacqueline (Robin Givens). She says a something very poignant to Marcus when he says he is sorry and that he loves her…
What do you know about love? What could you possibly know about love You know, I'm sick and tired of men using love as if it's some disease you just catch. Love should have brought your ass home last night.
The idea of love is something that we all have said to someone a few times but do any of any of us know what love really is? This isn't just a question for men because like I have written before "Women Don't Own Love" either. But, the reason I propose this idea of us (myself included) understanding love. It seems to me that many of us conceptualize love in a conditional form instead of an unconditional thing. If you meet these conditions I will love you are continue to love you. Now I am not saying either is right nor wrong but it is something that I have been thinking about more and more lately.
I have always been the dude who was the antithesis of what most people think or want because that's always been my nature to go against the grain. With all of that being said I am a simple dude to please. The problem is I found myself making it an excuse for me leaving a situation because the woman didn't conditionally meet these "simple" things. I am not going to sit here and write like I am some saint who hasn't stepped out on a girlfriend. Some may look at the situations and say that the stepping out was justified while others will say that cheating is never acceptable. The bottom line is can any of us really love if we have conditions for this love?
There was a woman I was dating seriously for about a year and a half. There were things I disagreed with in terms of our relationship that I was very vocal about (that is another blog post in itself). I got to a point where I felt my voice wasn't being heard so I slowly started to fall back into The Marcus Graham Condition. Some people have told me that I was warranted in my tactics of the "slow creep". Was it my conditions on love that made me feel I should step out on the relationship? Though a part of me wonders was I unconditionally loving her or just loving her on conditions. Did I not truly work on the relationship? I am not saying that we shouldn't have any parameters and just start loving people all wily nilly because I also believe we shouldn't let our wants and desires go earnestly unheard. But I question myself into understanding how better of my growth as a man and in my relationship acumen I would be if I would have loved a little more unconditionally. Is it that we need to balance our conditions with unconditional love? I feel Marcus at the end of the film was able to find a happy medium between his conditions and what love really is for him.
Why is it that love won't bring us home to the one's we say we love? Like I said before I have realized that I make my conditions as simple as they maybe have confided me because I have felt more than rightful in any actions I take because I feel she couldn't even follow these "simple rules" to Darryl. Marcus amidst this ideal of being in "love" with both Jacqueline and Angela began to realize that he was a conditional lover who supplemented his ego by dealing with both women. Many of us will, have, or are currently doing this in our relationships now. Do we love with conditions? Even though love doesn't always conquer all like the fairy tales and romance movies suggest we can be learn to be more unconditional with our love. If you really loved someone can love at least bring you home at night?

Heart-healthy message for women
Published on -2/14/2013, 8:21 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
February long has been known as Heart Month. And today, Valentine's Day, it is especially fitting we consider how to help those we love keep their hearts healthy and strong.
Heart disease often is considered a man's issue. The notion women are less susceptible to heart problems than men is widespread and persistent, but it's wrong. In fact, heart disease kills as many American women as men every year, and accounts for more deaths among women than the next seven causes of death combined.
Despite the fact heart disease is women's No. 1 killer, many people mistakenly believe cancer is the leading cause of death for women. In America, heart disease kills six times as many women as breast cancer. A woman's risk for heart disease increases two to three times after menopause, with women of color having an even higher risk than whites.
Long neglected by researchers, heart disease in women finally is getting attention. One of the most significant findings is women often have different risk factors and different symptoms than men and are treated differently by doctors.
On average, women are 10 years older than men when they're diagnosed with heart disease. One theory is the hormone estrogen protects them until menopause. But sometimes women are mis-diagnosed because their symptoms are different from men's. Unfortunately, by the time heart disease is diagnosed in women, it's often at a more advanced stage. Even if they're having a heart attack, women wait longer than men to seek care.
The danger signs of heart attack often differ in men and women. Pain is the first symptom for both, although men tend to have the classic heavy, crushing chest pain, while women have the more transient discomfort of angina. Other symptoms in women are more vague -- indigestion, fatigue, nausea or sleeplessness.
If you or a friend experience any of the following warning signs of a heart attack, call 911:
* Chest discomfort, pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
* Discomfort or pain in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
* Shortness of breath, which often occurs at the same time as, but can occur before, chest discomfort.
* Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, vomiting or light-headedness.
Given what experts know about heart disease, what can women do to protect themselves?
First, recognize women, too, can have heart disease. Women historically have been more afraid of breast cancer than heart disease, but now almost half of American women recognize heart disease as their No. 1 enemy.
Learn about the signs and risk factors of heart disease and work to reduce your risks.
Listen to your body, then speak up. Doctors across the country report women, even those already diagnosed with heart disease, downplay the seriousness of their condition.
Take care of yourself. Exercise, eat healthy meals, quit smoking, control stress and get the medical care you need to stay healthy and enjoy life.

August 13, 2001
Notes from Clifford A. Pearson Senior Editor
Opening a new architecture school is a leap of faith. It takes a lot of guts on the part of a founder, as well as deep reserves of patience, vision, tact, and obstinance (not to mention a willful disregard for obstacles and an ability to take a few hard knocks). So it was when Álvaro Rojas, AIA, returned to his native Costa Rica after two decades in the United States, and started the Universidad del Diseño in 1993.
Costa Rica would not seem to be the first place one would think of launching a new school of architecture. Its a beautiful country with a long and mostly peaceful history of democracy (its 1949 constitution dismantled the army and in 1987 its president, Oscar Arias, won the Nobel Peace Prize). But it doesnt have much of an architectural or urban tradition. Ever since its Spanish colonizers realized there was little gold hidden in its volcanic mountains, Costa Rica has been a rural backwater run by the wealthy owners of its famed coffee plantations. The capital, San José, was little more than coffee-growing land before the 20th century, and has none of the glorious architecture found in other Latin American cities such as Mexico City or Cuzco. No Artificial Ingredients is Costa Ricas current advertising slogan, rightfully plugging the countrys beautiful coasts on both the Pacific and the Caribbean, its lush rainforests, and well-maintained national parks. Tourists come to this land to see its flora and fauna, not its buildings.
The building in 1995 when purchased by the Universidad del Dise�o (left) and today (above).
Although mindful of the countrys shortcomings, Rojas saw an opportunity. In the early 1990s, Costa Rica had only four architecture schools and none were offering much in the way of innovative education. Frustrated by an insular architectural scene, Rojas decided to shake things up. He bought an old coffee-processing plant on the outskirts of San José and converted it into a rambling, open place to learn. He brought in teachers from the United States, Europe, and Latin America, and stocked the staff with psychologists, sociologists, linguists, and philosophers, in addition to design professionals. He attracted students from around Central and Latin America and challenged them to look at architecture as global and holistic and sustainable.
Some of Costa Ricas architectural power brokers were less than thrilled about such an upstart institution and Rojas has had to fight hard to carve out a niche for his school. But the Universidad del Diseño now has about 100 students and a faculty of 45 mostly part time professors. It offers a 5-and-a-half-year professional degree in architecture and is in the process of establishing a masters of environmental design program. Curiously, things are beginning to change in Costa Rica. For example, since 1993, six other schools of architecture have opened, a remarkable blossoming of educational alternatives in a country with just 4.3 million people.
I got a quick introduction to the Universidad del Diseño by participating in its second Mundaneum, an international show-and-tell fest held at the end of June. Most of the people in the audience were students at the university or from Panamanian schools of architecture. Very few practicing architects from Costa Rica took the time to attend any of the presentations or discussionsa lingering sign of suspicion on the part of the countrys architectural establishment.
A last-minute addition to the conference lineup of speakers was the President of Costa Rica, Miguel Angel Rodriguez, who required no secret service agents and came with a sensible entourage of two associates. The story I heard was that Rojas had been quoted recently in the newspaper criticizing the governments lack of a policy on sustainable design. Instead of striking back, the president decided to win over a critic by paying a visit (and presumably getting some good press). President Rodriguez congratulated the school on its second-place showing in a recent international design competition for students and spoke vaguely and briefly of the possibility of new expressions of the Latin American spirit. Nothing brilliant. But how often does the president of any country show up at an architectural event?
The conferences regularly scheduled speakers were a solid collection of practitioners and academics, including Stanley Saitowitz from San Francisco, Carmen Pinós and Alberto Estévez from Barcelona, Oliver Lang from Vancouver, Jorge Liernur from Buenos Aires, Vedran Mimica from Amsterdam, Roberto Villalobos and Victor Cañas from San José, Hector Vigliecca from São Paulo, Juvenal Baracco from Lima, Shane Murray from Melbourne, Amanda Reeser and Ashley Schafer from New York, and David Guthrie from Houston.
A few hightlights included: Murray from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, who spoke of the radically local and mediated globalism, while showing examples of the sometimes quirky way Australian architects are appropriating ideas from abroad and reinterpreting them in their own, Down Under way. Villalobos from San José, who challenged attendees to examine the role of architects in society. Mimica from the Berlage Institute, who explained how his school likes to shake and shock students with new ideas. And Guthrie, who spoke of visual editing and how he tries to express in his work whats behind the surface.
The overall impression I took away from the Mundaneum was of unexpected connections. During one session, for example, I realized I was in a small central American country listening to Lang, who was raised in Germany, has his practice in Vancouver, and teaches in Chile.
I have seen the future and its borderless.

Everest Tourism Changed Sherpa Lives
May 17, 2013—The booming tourism industry aimed at putting people on the peak of Mt. Everest has radically changed the lives of Nepal's Sherpas. National Geographic Young Explorer and photographer Max Lowe recently spent two months in Nepal's Khumbu region, documenting some of those changes.
Everest Tourism Changed Sherpa Lives
May 17, 2013—The booming tourism industry aimed at putting people on the peak of Mt. Everest has radically changed the lives of Nepal's Sherpas. National Geographic Young Explorer and photographer Max Lowe recently spent two months in Nepal's Khumbu region, documenting some of those changes.
Conrad Anker, Climber:
The Sherpa are one of 70 ethnic groups within Nepal and they migrated over from Tibet. Their name means "Easterner". So, they came to the mountains and they settled the higher regions of the Himalayas. And, just by chance of living where they have, they've become connected to mountain climbing.
The Sherpa culture fundamentally changed in 1953, sixty years ago, when Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Everest. And at this point, it went from their very rural idyllic lifestyle to one being in the twentieth century, and now the twenty-first century.
Karma Tsering, Former High Altitude Sherpa:
When Hillary summitted Everest he gave the sherpas watches as a bonus. We learned how to tell time using those watches.
Anker: Within the span of three-to-four generations, they've gone from a very much agrarian, pastoral society with few things that we take for granted, to a society, now, that has connected with mobile phones, and the internet, and jet travel, and interaction between many more humans.
Max Lowe, National Geographic Young Explorer:
The changes that I saw just in the last ten years were pretty substantial. As far as what people told me they had seen, as far as change, education was a big one; healthcare: there's a dentist there; there's medical clinics; the clothing is better. Kancha Sherpa, who, was actually on the 1953 expedition, he was a really interesting guy to talk to. He has seen pretty much the whole field of changes that have occurred.
Kancha Sherpa, Former High Altitude Sherpa:
The change has been good because it has brought wealth. Life now feels a little rushed but the people here earn an income. My only worry is global warming because it doesn't snow much on the mountain anymore.
Lowe: A lot of the Lamas and people who still are practicing in the region, they really lamented the fact more than anyone else just because people are moving away from the old religious ways of life. And they told me at least that with all this endless self-gain available, people are losing focus on the purity and kind of simple life that they once had. People are losing the ability to focus on true happiness.
The influx of tourism has brought a lot of money into the region. And, with that, a lot of people recognize that they can go much further, as far as advancement, now that they have this connection with the outside world.
[To Mahendra Kathet] I've heard… some people in Namche have told me that, many people from Khumjung leave to go live elsewhere in the world. A lot of people from Khumjung go to other countries.
Mahendra Kathet, Head Master, Khumjung School:
Yes. Many people are in the U.S.A., from Khumjung. U.S.A., Europe and Japan.
They are not satisfied with tourism, with the small money from tourism. They want to earn big money. And they want to change their lifestyle. Like being European and American like that.
Max Lowe [Interview]: At the same time a lot of things are getting better in the region. The food is a lot more diverse, so people's diets are much more healthy. Clothing's better. Building materials are safer. There's electricity. There're cell phones. You can get cell phone reception at Everest base camp now, which is a pretty crazy idea.

Cast and splint care tips
When you first get your cast or splint
Your doctor has applied a cast or splint to protect a broken bone or injury. If you have a removable splint, follow your doctor's instructions and only remove the splint if he or she says you can. If you have a cast, follow your doctor's instructions for when you can first put pressure on the cast. Fiberglass casts dry quickly, but plaster casts may take several days before they are hard enough to use. Once your cast can be used, don't put excessive weight on it for long periods of time without rest.
A brace with a built-in air cushion is ready to use right away. It is made of either hard or soft plastic and inflatable air pads. The plastic is fitted around the injured area and often held in place with straps. Then the air pads are inflated to firmly hold the injury in place.
Never cut or modify your cast or splint or use powder on the skin under the cast. Keep dirt and sand from getting into the cast.
Your cast or splint may feel tight for a few days after your surgery or injury. This is usually because of swelling. To reduce the swelling, try raising your injured arm or leg above your heart as often as possible during the first 72 hours after you get your cast or splint. You may need to lie down, and it helps to use a pillow to prop up the arm or leg and to cushion it from hard surfaces.
Put ice in a plastic bag, wrap it in a towel, and place it over the injured area. If you have a plaster cast, do not get the cast wet or damp. Ice the area several times a day for about 15 minutes at a time.
Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce pain and inflammation. Wiggle your uninjured fingers or toes as much as possible. Be sure to follow the medicine precautions on the bottle or box.
Call your doctor immediately if:
- You can't move your fingers or toes.
- You have severe pain or increased pain that you think is from swelling, and your cast or splint feels too tight.
- Your hand or foot feels numb or tingles.
- You have a lot of swelling below your cast or splint.
- The skin under your cast or splint is burning or stinging.
It's also important to keep up your muscle strength and tone as much as possible while protecting your injured limb or joint. Your doctor may want you to tense and relax the muscles protected by the cast or splint. Check with your doctor or physical therapist for instructions.
Keeping your cast or splint dry
- Unless you have a fiberglass cast with a quick-drying lining or a brace with air pads, do not get your cast wet. If you have a removable splint, ask your doctor whether it's okay to remove it to bathe. Even though the splint is removable, your doctor may want you to keep it on as much as possible.
- Keep your cast or splint covered with at least two layers of plastic when showering or taking a bath or when you have any other contact with water. Moisture can collect under the cast or splint and cause skin irritation and itching.
- If you have a wound or have had surgery, moisture can increase the risk of infection.
- If you have a fiberglass cast with a fast-drying lining or a brace with air pads, make sure to rinse it with fresh water after swimming. It will take about an hour for the fiberglass cast lining to dry.
Itchy skin
Itchy skin is common under a cast. Blowing cool air from a hair dryer or fan into the cast may help. Never stick anything inside your cast to scratch the skin.
Don't use oils or lotions near your cast. If the skin becomes red or irritated around the edge of the cast, you may pad the edges with a soft material or use tape to cover it. Call your doctor if you think you have a skin infection.
Complications of wearing a cast
Severe or increasing pain may be a symptom of a serious problem. Compartment syndrome is caused by swelling within the space or "compartment" that contains muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and bones. Pressure on arteries, veins, and nerves causes severe pain, slows circulation to the muscles and nerves, and may cause permanent damage to these tissues. Compartment syndrome is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment.
Pressure sores are another problem that may develop over a bony area under the cast or splint, such as an elbow or ankle. You may get a pressure sore if your cast or splint is too tight. A warm spot on the cast or splint, pain, drainage, or an odor are symptoms that a pressure sore or skin infection may be present. Call your doctor if you think you have a pressure sore or skin infection under your cast or splint.

MUSIC NERD MOMENT OF THE DAY: REST IN PEACE, B.I.G. …and the sample that helped launch his career!
Yesterday we remembered the tragic murder of Christopher Wallace, better know to many of us 90s-era teenagers as The Notorious B.I.G. Biggie left a lyrical and musical legacy that's still matched by few and quoted by many, and having only release two albums during his short 24 years. There are far too many classic songs by B.I.G. to include in this post alone: "Party & Bullsh*t", "Everyday Struggle", "The What", "Unbelieveable", "Warning", "Mo Money Mo Problems", "Kick In The Door", the list goes on and on. And sadly, that voice was taken away from us inching closer to 20 years now. Not only that, we'll soon be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the release of Ready To Die, the seminal and essential debut album from Big. But one of the things I've always found so cool is that a song that Big was featured on sampled some very progressive, avant garde jazz from Herbie Hancock, hence the reason for this post! The 1993 song "Dolly My Baby" by Dancehall artist Supercat, featuring a young Biggie and Puffy rhyming over the track int he infancy of the Bad Boy era, samples Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" from the 1973 jazz fusion album Headhunters. And while the former is a gritty pounding early 90s Hip Hop classic kissed with just enough Reggae flavor to appeal to the two different genres, the latter is a classic funk-jazz hybrid that opened up a whole new world for Herbie Hancock after he had been part of Miles Davis' ensemble for so long. Biggie's verse on "Dolly My Baby" is playful, rugged and unkempt, but also would give a glimpse into the harsh yet clever and intricate lyrics that would make Ready To Die one of the signature albums of 1990s Hip Hop. Check out both songs below!

Our Global Issues & Ethics Book Group is devoted to discussing books that cover the most relevant topics of our everyday lives. Our selection for November is Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Differences by Cordelia Fine. Brilliantly researched and wickedly funny, Delusions of Gender debunks the pseudo-scientific myth of hardwired differences between men's and women's brains. Unraveling the evidence behind such claims as men's brains aren't made for empathy and women's brains aren't meant to fix cars, Cordelia Fine provides us with a much-needed corrective to the belief that "men are from Mars and women are from Venus" a belief that all too often works to the detriment of ourselves and our society. The New York Times said, "Fine's sharp tongue is tempered with humor and linguistic playfulness... Read this book and see how complex and fascinating the whole issue is."

"James McPherson ... has turned his keen eye and eloquent pen to the naval war. In this new, concise history of the war at sea, McPherson not only tells an important story well, but he shows how the Union navy, with only 5 percent of Union military assets, had a disproportionate impact on the war." - Craig L.

text: Residents of Oklahoma and Texas had been following the "BP" buck since 2007. Oklahoma Game Warden Shane Fields posted a trail camera photo of the buck on local message boards and the big brute's mug shot spread around the Web like wildfire. It became known as the "BP" buck because it spent most of its time on land owned by British Petroleum. Over the next two years, Fields tracked the deer and became determined to protect the monster buck from poachers. But late in 2009 Fields' worst nightmare came true—the carcass of the famed trophy was found. From NewsOK.com: Kenny Nixon, 35, of Bokoshe pleaded guilty on March 17 in Latimer County to several misdemeanor wildlife violations in connection with the "BP" buck, including shooting a deer in a closed season and illegal possession of a whitetail deer. He admitted shooting the buck with a .25.06 Browning rifle. Nixon was fined almost $5,000 and his lifetime hunting privileges were revoked for 20 years. He still may have to pay as much as $5,000 in restitution to the state. The "BP" buck measured in at 186 inches typical and 220 inches non-typical. A buck that could have been cherished by a fair chase hunter will now be on display as a part of the educational display funded by the Oklahoma Station Chapter of Safari Club International.

PR Coffee 18mg - July 2010
For this flavour I'm using a fully charged Tornado Battery, with a 510 atomiser and a regular TW cart.
On receiving the juice, it's a coffee brown in colour. But the aroma from the bottle doesn't scream coffee, which I thought it would do. More a light tobacco smell.
On dripping this juice into the cart, it's quite a thick cosistancy, and took a while to settle into the filler.
I've been vaping this all through the day. The flavour I am getting above all is a tobacco flavour. I was worried at first, as I couldn't smell the coffee, or even taste it, I thought I may have had a different flavour. I was confused for a while, but then it started coming through.
Sadly for me it's really not big in coffee flavour. But there is an up side, I do like this juice, I am just getting more of a tobacco flavour. Close to a milder version on the PR Tobacco Americano.
I'd be vaping it, and occasionally thinking ... oh, I tasted coffee then
But it didn't last. it's not consistent in flavour, if that makes any sense.
I swapped carts, swapped to the drip tip, swapped atty's and battery...still no coffee for me.
There could be an explaination for my findings though, probably due to the fact I drink black coffee all through the day, so maybe I've just become immune to the flavour.
It does sound like I didn't like it, but I enjoyed it, just needed more coffee in there for me.
The throat hit isn't huge, but the vapour production is. My mouth is also very dry after vaping this.
It hasn't left any aroma either, in fact I can't smell anything in the vapour. I'm sorry for such a confusing review, believe me I'm confused too.
I'll be interested in reading what fellow vapers think of this juice. (Especially to see if it is the fact I drink far to much coffee to even taste it anymore)

TW Patriot Range Coffee (18mg) July 2010
Tea is definitely my hot beverage of choice, especially in the mornings and my weekly consumption is measured by the gallon, thats for sure. When it comes to coffee, I can make a 4oz jar of instant last well-over a year, mind you, what I do drink, I really enjoy. Funny that
Even stranger is the fact that I cant recall ever trying a coffee juice before, although I must confess to having an unopened 24mg coffee juice from another supplier amongst my stash purchased late 2009, I just havent gotten around to using it yet, what with the menthols, fruits and the downright bizarre taking precedent ... So, I was quite looking forward to having a go with the PR Coffee .
510, cleaned / primed standard atomiser, Zenith 280mAh manual battery (changing over to a Tornado 1000mAh), direct-drip method.
Colour of liquid
Clear dark brown
Smell of liquid
Im struggling to get a whiff of anything, except for the faintest aroma of wood-preserve / creosote ..
Flavour / Taste
I sat vaping on this for what seemed like an eternity in reality though I guess it was only around 5 minutes before I got anything resembling a coffee flavour coming through. All I was experiencing at the start was like a heavy, thick dairy taste to the vapour. Imagine half a teaspoon of strong instant granules going into a large mug, filling with boiling water and then adding far too much full-fat milk or cream to me thats just how this flavour tastes in the end. Finally though, you do get a hint of roasted coffee which ends-up being overwhelmed by the dry aftertaste of the dairy product. Strangely enough, the more you vape the more the roasted taste increases, up to a certain level, but I was definitely expecting more in the way of coffee and less of the milk or cream from the off. . 5/10
Throat Hit
Once again, it takes time before you notice anything regarding a hit of any kind but, arrives it does albeit in a mild, smooth way. 5/10
Vapour Content
The juice seems to have a high viscosity, which I take to mean that theres a chance of it containing more VG than PG and therefore producing more vapour. I was certainly not disappointed and vapour is chucked-out by the proverbial cubic yard. Excellent performance . 9/10
In Summary
As I say, it appears to take an age for any coffee flavour or throat-hit to come through but, once its there, its reasonable although its quite a thick-tasting vape. If you leave it alone for any length of time, say, more than an hour and then return, I find that it takes time for the tastebuds to get going again with this. Vapour production though is outstanding and, for me, thats a huge plus-point. Vapour Content is where Im always going to be at my most critical but PR Coffee is truly remarkable in that department.
Although its obviously a quality liquid its not really a juice for me in the longest term Im afraid, because of that milky / creamy dryness, maybe its one to use very occasionally though. That said, its bound to have fans so if youre up for a mild milky coffee with a smooth taste then the Patriot Range Coffee 18mg could well be one for you to explore . 6.33/10
Happy Vaping everyone .

My latest review as a TW Panelist is of one of the PR flavours Coffee supplied at 18mg
The liquid was used in a Screwdriver Mk 2 fitted with a 4075 atomiser and fresh cartridge. I've been vaping the liquid continuously exclusively since lunchtime.
The liquid is a dark brown colour a slightly weak black coffee shade. The liquid has no very pronounced at all certainly I don't a coffee smell, merely something like a very very weak solvent.
As usual, the liquid flows well and is absorbed nicely by the cart filler.
When vaped, the liquid tastes mild and smooth there is a bit of creamy coffee there, but one could easily persuade oneself that there is a very smooth tobacco component although actually I don't think there is. The aftertaste is pleasant a smooth and slightly creamy taste with a dash of coffee and very little sweetness.
The liquid is noticeable NOT mouth drying and leaves and almost no stickiness. The vapour is absolutely splendid and the hit remarkable for an 18mg liquid on both inhale and exhale.
The vapour smells almost smokey but doesn't hang about.
I really like this liquid probably BECAUSE it isn't really very Coffee at all but what is, is a really pleasant vape with a flavour that is pleasant and doesn't become irritating. The more I vape it, the more I like it I'm going to get some 36mg I think...
I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels, but I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools

PR - COFFEE 18mg
This liquid has no smell too it and is a dark murky brown colour,quite like
the colour of black coffee.
I was using the precious with a Low Res 510 atty whilst direct dripping
with this liquid.
I was expecting a black coffee kind of flavour with this liquid but struggled
to make out the coffee in this one,on the inhale i was getting a slight beefy
kind of flavour,then on the exhale a cross between a watered down beef oxo
cube (an oxo cube in the uk is what you make gravy stock from) and a very
dry smokey taste quite like a cigarette,it is probably a good idea to have a
drink at the ready for this one as it might leave you with a bit of a dry taste in
your mouth but for some reason this one seemed to have a taste that reminded
me more like that of a cigarette.
Plenty of vapour with this one with a good throat hit.
All in all i can't say im a big fan of this one mostly due to the beefy taste i was
tasting and to me it tasted more like a tobacco kind of liquid so this one just didnt
do it for me,if your into savoury or tobacco flavours this one will be more your kind
of vape.

PR Coffee 18mg
This liquid looked like coffee, almost black in colour. So I was expecting quite a strong flavour.
Sniffing the liquid in the bottle didn't really reveal any smell at all, which was surprising for a coffee juice.
I used a LR510 on my Screwdriver for testing and kept coming back to the liquid to see if the flavour changed at all.
First impression was that it had no flavour at all. I certainly couldn't taste any coffee.
Further tests I found it tasted of vanilla and pepper. Quite nice but way too subtle to notice without really concentrating on the vape.
I maybe detected the taste of coffee about three times over the course of the sample bottle. It was so faint. Kind of reminded me of the taste you may notice hours after you drank a cup of coffee.
In all honesty if it didn't have coffee on the label I would never have guessed that was what it was supposed to be. A very disappointing flavour that I would have no interest in buying.
I enjoyed it for what it was, it wasn't unpleasant in any way, just severely lacking in the flavour department.
Not a juice I would recommend for any reason.

I am a single mom of a 9 yr old son. His father has been a missing deadbeat for over three years. We had an attorney that was getting a termination of paternal rights with biggy backing a name change for a minor. He got us so close to the hearing, then flaked out on us. It has been over two years in the making and we really just want this behind us. I have all documentation to give to our new attorney.

I watch and Pray for the Lanese family. I caught up on the news of his expected arrival home on Thanksgiving. Did that happen? Is Brian home yet? How is he doing? I have been unsuccessful on finding any updates.
The Lanese family has crossed my family's path twice. It is always a pleasure to see them. Brian and Tracy are hard working, good people. I will continue to pray for them during this challenging time.

So I have a bill to pay my proprty tax...
I also got a letter from the bank saying my home value has decreased significantly...
Maybe I should tkae this new lower value to our local tax office and have them adjust the bill..no?
The govt is having us pay taxes on homes banks say are not as valuable now... so what gives?
Do you agree in paying taxes on your home for 200K, but the bank says its 160K? (an example).

ok ya'll I seen it... I know you have.. Cops speeding without a cause. I want to know the correct way to catch them. Now, I have seen the GA couple in the news about installing a video camera and a radar detector on their property to catch speeders on their street. One was a cop... going 17 MPH over. Now the COUPLE is being charged for stalking!!!!
Don't get me wrong, Cops (for the most) are good drivers. BUT there are too many times I have seen them speed. 55 on 278 were it is posted 45 is the easiest to point out. How do we hold cops responsible for their own actions?

I had so many wonderful replys and inputs on my blog about love being easy, and what form love is... I decided to ask another question to help me figure it out.
Why do "they" say there is a thin line between love and hate? Love and hate are polar opposites.

My mom has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. I need a local support group that meets after 6pm. I am sure I am not the only one out here that can't make the mid day meetings. Is there any out there? I need one for loved ones affected/ caregivers. I'd like to get my mom to join one too, It'd be great to find two groups that meet in the same place at the same time, but in different rooms. One for the patients, and one for the loved ones.

One critical, another jailed, after Lewisburg stabbing
LEWISBURG — A Milton man is in critical condition, and a man from Lewisburg is jailed on felony assault charges after a Saturday morning stabbing. Buffalo Valley Regional Police tell us, the victim is 19-year-old Marcus Cotto.
He is in Geisinger Medical Center suffering from two stab wounds to the upper torso. Police say found him lying on the street outside an apartment building at 202 St. John Street. The stabbing happened inside the building around 3:30am Saturday.
Arrested, facing felony aggravated assault charges, is 31-year-old Sean Russavage of Lewisburg. He lived inside the apartment building but not in the area where the stabbing occured. Police say he used a knife with a three to four inch blade to stab Cotto.
Russavage is also charged with making terroristic threats, simple assault, and possession of an instrument of crime. His bail is set at $50,000. The two men were arguing prior to the stabbing–according to Buffalo Valley Regional Police. The exact motive for the dispute is not known.

This is an accumulation of many different trees. I have attempted to follow each line back (and not just follow the paternal lines). I look forward to comments from other genealogists (I have so much to be grateful for in the long lost "cousins" that have crossed my path) I have included, up to 4 generations back on the lines back to myself. I have in most cases, back 10 generations and will work on adding to this as I enter the data. I hope what I have gives you a chance to add to your own research and, as I stated earlier, I look forward to hearing from each of you. |
