I am wondering about ANA negative lupus.
In the last year I have had a skin biopsy from a discoid lesion on my chest that my dermatologist diagnosed as SCLE.
I almost always have a malar rash. I have recurrent mouth ulcers, am photosensitive and have developed non erosive arthritis in my fingers, wrists and elbows at times. I have been having issues with Raynaud's like symptoms all through the winter (except when being treated with prednolosone). In the last month I developed pericarditis with no obvious cause.
My serology is benign on repeated tests. I have had 1 slightly elevated CRP result and 1 borderline anticoagulant result. Subsequent tests were normal.
My rheumatologist was saying that she thinks I may have lupus, but now is saying without the ANA or any other serology she won't diagnose it. She had said that my symptoms fit with undifferentiated connective tissue disease.
This doesn't make sense to me as I meet 6 of the standard criteria for SLE.
Can anyone explain to me why she would do this? Are there implications for treatment or for prognosis?View Thread
I am searching for a diagnosis right now. From everything I have read, I believe I have lupus. I started experiencing symptoms nearly 2 years ago. The only official thing the doctors have found so far is vasculitis from a skin biopsy. Every doctor I have met with initially suspects lupus and that leads either to blood tests or a referral to another doctor. I finally was referred to a rheumatologist who told me after his exam it was either lupus or "something in the lupus family". He did blood tests and then I never heard from him again other than a form letter saying I had an elevated sed rate but my ANA was negative so I didn't have lupus but I could start taking Plaquenil if I wanted and to come back in 6 months. Not happy I went to a 2nd rheumatologist who said he didn't think Lupus but suspected Behcets. He did more blood tests, ANA negative again. He put me on Plaquenil. Since I'm already on Plaquenil I guess it doesn't matter too much, but my symptoms keep getting worse and flares longer & more frequent and I worry what this winter will bring. Plus I am 28 and want to have a baby. I would like to know for sure if I do or don't have lupus. Has anyone else had multiple negative ANA tests and then later had a positive test and lupus diagnosis?View Thread

Sorry for all the questions, but is there a difference between anti ds dna and dna antibodies, native?? I thought they were the same thing but just got my labs back and saw where both tests were ordered and my native was high. First time I've heard about native dna.

At my rheumy appointments, I am always given a questionnaire that asks, "how long does your joint stiffness last in the morning?" The selection of answers are anywhere between less than 15 minutes to a couple hours. I never know how to answer that question because for me, joint stiffness lasts all day - any time a joint is inactive for 10 minutes or so, it becomes stiff. I feel like I have to break the joints free each time I move - especially the hands and feet. In fact my feet make popping sounds that can be heard across a room. Once I break them free they are fine until I stop moving.
Is this kind of constant stiffness normal for lupus? Whenever I google my symptoms I get RA information. And while I also have Sjogrens and Raynauds, my rheumy hasn't mentioned RA...
Just curious if this was normal for lupus.
Thanks for any insight you can throw my way!

In the past six months I've started developing some weakness in my legs. It is worse first thing in the morning but can happen anytime throughout the day. I've also started getting up during the night again to pee. It was bad about a year ago but got better once I began various medications. There is also some associated back pain throughout the day. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis about 10 years ago but this is higher and only occurs when I'm in bed or sit down for long periods, e.g. sleeping at night.
I've also started feeling nausea during the day and along with this leg weakness I wonder if it is related to my stage two kidney disease.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have kind of a odd medical question about bruises. Has anyone out there had a problem with reoccurring bruises? I realize we all bump into things and forget about it and a bruise appears, but I have had a black bruise under my upper right arm - not a area that comes in contact with anything but my body. I will get it and over a few weeks it will fade away and then a month or more will pass with nothing and then it reappears in the EXACT same spot - it's been doing this for around 2 years or so.
I've racked my brain trying to figure out how I can hurt it in that exact spot so bad that I get a quarter/half dollar size black /dark purple bruise...just such a odd place...
Is this a weird lupus thing? I haven't mentioned it to any of my doctors because it's just a bruise but I do find it weird...
Anyone else have this?

So heres a couple things about me:
I am Living with Lupus!
I am addicted to Methamphetamine!
I understand that Methamphetamine is a substance made out of household chemicals, and that tweakers are shady, and its nasty, and bad for you, and all that... I agree. My life was great in the beginning of my addiction. I met a great man (non-user), I was positive, I was able to clean, coook, and feel emotions like a non-user, or somebody who didnt have lupus.
However, That only lasted about 6 months until the overthinking came in, the sadness, the depression, the selfishness, and the hopelessness were all things that snuck up on me. Meth made me sad now, it used to pump my seratonin through the pleasure center in my brain.. Now its very rare that i am worry free and happy. Meth is a downward spiral. I am a severe addict, and i can honestly say, that although using is free will, i feel victimized by this stupid drug. I have made the choice... wednesday i go to rehab, and i am praying that God will allow me to quit so i can feel my lupus pain again. Atleast without drugs you can feel something, because on this stuff you dont feel anything.
I couldnt even tell you how i feel in regards to my lupus, because i have masked these feelings for so long.
I was diagnosed in 2006, I have SLE with CNS Components, and although at the moment i am not treating it, i was on steroids, and I gained about 70lbs... I since lost that weight but that was partially why i picked up the dope habit.
My opinion: I would rather have Lupus, than have this addiction, if I could choose which one id live with, I would pick Lupus. Addiction is another disease!
I am living with Lupus, and Addiction!!!!
Thank you!
E-mail me with your addiction/lupus comments, i am writing a blog which will be published next month and id love your story!!View Thread
Any info will be helpful.

That looks really nice!!!!
I bought the EAB M1 Kit and installed it a couple of months ago. FYI, if anyone is interested in doing this, I'd highly recommend buying the TSR-100 Sight Upgrade, rather than the Liberty Replica Sight for the same price.
Problem is, the Liberty Replica Sights are both Fixed, and not adjustable. The Rear Sight sat so low, that I was actually shooting UNDER the Target, when I tried sighting it in at the Range at 25-yds. My POA and POI were about 6" off.
I've since ordered the TSR-100 Sights for my M1 10/22, and will install them this weekend.
The TSR-100 & TSR-200 Sights are Adjustable, with the Front Sight ONLY on the TSR-100 (It has Rear Dual Flip Apertures...) and the Front and Rear Sights on the TSR-200 (Only 1 Rear Aperture.....).
Best of Luck!
Does anybody have a drum magazine for there 10/22
nope both of mine are classic sporters
500 round drum? That crazy but sounds bad to the bone
Ya it is awesome for just plinkin and looks good but is totally worthless for huntin

The room is as described and with full of sunshine of California. Location is perfect for the beach and shopping center. I'm happy spending two nights here.
I stayed I Joe's for a week as I was attending a conference. The location is fantastic; close walking distance to everything in Santa Monica. Joe was quick to respond and was available if I had needed anything. The room was as described.
Joe is very quick to respond to my last min reservation for a one night stay to catch an early morning flight the next day. Great location, couple blocks to beach and restaurants. Also free parking with permit. Apt was quiet and safe. The bathroom was adequate with good water pressure but had no lock, although I felt totally safe. Joe is accomdating and courteous with directions and recommendations. However, although the room/apt appeared tidy it was not very clean. Carpets desperately needed a vacuum and shampoo. Sheets did not appear to be fresh. But towel provided was clean. In a pinch, for the one night and the price it was fine because of the great location/fast respond.
A good location, however I would not stay again or recommend it to someone else. The space was not clean and the bathroom door does not lock or completely close for comfortable privacy.
I was not aware the bathroom door lock was broken - being fixed today.
I always clean the room before a guest arrives - in this case 3 guests.
Awesome location! Excellent host! Flexible hours!
A fantastic location for what I needed John was most accommodating. The room was basic and suited the price.
Ottima posizione rispetto alla 3rd street promenade, raggiungibile a piedi in 5 minuti. Non c'è un parcheggio privato, ma grazie al parking pass lasciato da Joe abbiamo potuto parcheggiare lungo la strada senza dover pagare il parcheggio.
Per quanto riguarda l'appartamento, la camera è spaziosa ed il bagno è privato, ma la pulizia lascia un po' a desiderare... tuttavia per un breve soggiorno ci si può adattare.
Great location, close to everything, but still a nice quiet place to end your day
Overall, my experience staying at Joe's was just okay. I checked in at 8:30am and as Joe was not home he had left a key for me. Someone had rented the room the night before and had not left yet, but I was able to drop off my suitcase which was great. When I returned around 4pm in the afternoon, the room was still not ready and there was no toilet paper. I left again and while I was gone I got a message from Joe that the bed sheets were in the dryer in the basement of the building and that I would have to make up the bed as he would not be home until 10pm or so. I made up the bed however the sheets did not smell fresh. There was no shower towel put out but toilet paper appeared as I had told Joe there was none. The bedroom and the apartment were tidy enough, but not very clean. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean enough. I would probably not stay again due the cleanliness and unreliability of having the room ready and basic needs like toilet paper, but I was happy to have a last minute, safe place to stay in a great location.
Joe was wonderful! I contacted him late in the afternoon, the same day as my arrival to Santa Monica and he replied quickly and accepted our booking request directly. His place is really close to the main places in Santa Monica, if you want a good location at a really reasonable price, this is a great place to stay. Comfortable bed for two, big enough room. Thanks Joe!

Forget fifteen minutes of fame, you'll hold the spotlight anytime you don the Overnight Sensation Black Dress! A darling short sleeved bodice with princess seaming graces a medium weight stretch knit with soft texture. A bodycon fit complements your shape as it moves down to a flirty trumpet skirt. Hidden back zipper with clasp. Unlined. Model is 5'9" and is wearing a size X-small. 55% Rayon, 43% Polyester, 2% Spandex. Hand Wash Cold. Imported.
NEED HELP CHOOSING A SIZE? See measurements & fit info for this garment in the Size & Fit dropdown!
PRODUCT MEASUREMENTS: Compare these measurements to your own body measurements. We measure each item "relaxed" on a flat surface, not stretched on a person's body. It is helpful to consider the material of the item, as some stretchy materials may give an inch or two.
Because sizing and cut will vary between brands, please use this information as a general guide. Use our Size Chart to help determine your size. If you are between sizes or need help finding the proper size, please Chat with a Stylist.
This dress is just perfect! Must buy! I am 5'4 and 109 lbs. and this dress fit amazing! You can dress it up or dress it down it does not matter you will still receive compliments. I am work at a law office and have been wearing it to work with black leggings and it just looks so beautiful. Its elegant, sweet, the material is starchy but not tacky. It makes you look smaller from your waist.. Honestly, this dress is my favorite purchase from lulus. Everyone needs a dress like this.
I got this on a whim and couldn't be happier. I received many compliments and its my favorite type of fabric that is thicker and smooths you out. It also can be dressed up or down and with many different styles. Overall, its a great flattering find.
I love it! I'm 5'7" 130lbs (34, 25, 39) and ordered a small. It's kind of stretchy so I've leant this out to friends that aren't the same size as me without any difficulty. The fabric is really heavy but when I wore it out one night I never felt like it was too hot. I have a pretty big butt so I was worried this wouldn't quite work right on my body but it's fine! If anything I felt like it was a little too short but that's only because of the trumpeting style at the bottom is pretty airy so I definitely wore shorts underneath. Overall, it was suuuper cute and flattering and versatile and modest. My new favorite LBD hands down.
Super cute perfect fit
im 154, 5'6 purchased a med, dress fits just right! love the material
Totally disagree with the other reviewer that this material is thin - it is very thick knit, basically like a sweater! Definitely not what I was expecting, especially as I was hoping this could be an easy go-to summer dress. Overall a very great quality, just not what I was looking for. It's not very evident in the photos, but the dress is tight until mid thigh, then there is a seam, and then a small flouncy skirt. Loved the cute sleeves though! I just didn't find the trumpet style flattering or trendy.
Material is thin and unflattering to midsection. I am 5/7 and 130 lbs, and it was unflattering on me.
The dress looks real cute online. However, in person, the material is pretty bad. I'm not a fan of the sleeves. I never even wore this dress and I'm sending it back.
I just did not like this dress. The fabric, the style, and how it looks on me:(

It was a pleasure to stay at Pipa's home. The design is funky and I was glad to be in a solid build home with a safe feeling. It is in short walking distance to several restaurants. Pipa allowed me to park my car in her 2-car garage. It's nice to relaxe at the back balcony and listen to the creek and looking at lots of bamboo and squirls. Pure nature in the back. The nights were quite except the creek keeps running but it's a nice water sound. The unit had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. WiFi was working well. Pipa is nice to talk too, she has lots of knowledge in home contraction, importing contruction matterials and in setting up solar powered homes and much more. If you plan to build a home in Costa Rica it is certainly good to talk to Pipa. I would rent her unit any time again.
Rent at your own risk. The owner's behaviour is not honest and not stable. First negative experience after 5 months traveling with 2 kids and 2 cats with Airbnb hosts.
Pipa was pretty clear and good on initial communication, she even accepted a DHL package for us before we get there. The house is exactly as on photos and the surrounding is green and quiet. So what's wrong?
We agreed that we'll stay in the house longer. That was not something like "Oh we want maybe to stay in your house for some more", but the agreement for 2 months rent with a handshake. Then, after a try to move us to another house, which was much older, gloomy and we actually didn't like it, Pipa sent an sms that she needs her apartment, and we had just 5 days to find another property. She blamed that the kids are too loud, but before we make that deal, we asked if any problems with kids and Pipa confirmed that no problem with that.
When we said we're going to leave, Pipa decided to "check" the apartment if we broke something etc. Kids broke 1 cup, 1 plate and 1 bowl, we replaced that dish with double amount. Also a sliding door from the kitchen storeroom stopped to slide. We had to open it forcibly making a small scratch on the bottom. Of course we told Pipa about that immediately, agreeing to pay for the door.
Finally we got sms, that we have to pay $40 for the "hand made" particleboard dyed door and $20 for "clean and wax the floor to erase the scratches". If you pm us, we can send you the photos of that 10 years old full of scratches floor, and for sure we didn't add any new scratches there.
Being a responsible tenants, we've paid $60. Being a responsible Airbnb members, we want upcoming tenants to be informed about the host behaviour.
Pipa's house is amazing! Super cool and sleak design with clean lines, modern furniture, minimalist style; combined with cozy furniture and an amazing, cable suspended (and anchored) king size bed! Her house is located in Escazu, a really great (and safe) part of San Jose, up on a hill with fresh air and cool views of the city. Add to that a back yard complete with patio and a rumbling river that rocks you to sleep at night and greets you in the morning; it is a terrific experience. Very restful and relaxing. Finally, there is Pipa, who is even cooler than her apartment. She speaks perfect English and is a very generous and kind hostess. I will definitely be going back to stay at her house again. Highly recommended. Gracias Pipa!!
Being able to stay at Pipa's place in Escuza (where I was having serious dental work done) was an honour and a wonderful stroke of luck. San Jose is not the easiest place for recovery and relaxation so Pipa's place was a needed oasis. She designed and built the place herself - it's spacious, fully functional in every respect and architecturally interesting. The balconies in the rear (hammock equipped) facing the rumbling stream and gorgeous tall bamboo trees were especially delightful. For me being able to use her office as my temporary 'headquarters' made a huge difference. Pipa was always accessible and always a delight to communicate with!
Pipa y su tia fueron muy divertidas. A pesar del corto tiempo que compartimos, tuvimos conversaciones interesantes. Sin duda las recomendariamos a qualquier otro host! Esperamos poder visitarlas en Costa Rica!
Pipa es una chica Full Energy!!! muy positiva con muy buena vibra, respetuosa, tranquila pero muy activa, limpia y súper organizada, le gusta comer bien y aprender de la gastronomía de los sitios, aprovechar de cualquier asunto cultural....verdaderamente una buenísima experiencia tenerla como huésped. Muchas gracias Pipa por estar con nosotros estos días!!!

Gilbert Renaud brings to us" Total Biology", with its tremendous body knowledge, brings a great understanding on "how to help a person to become aware of the emotional trauma behind any condition and or pattern by connecting the person with its own roots (history, life time-line, project-purpose, to name just a few...)!
When we understand Total Biology, it becomes a great tool to help others...
Through understanding, the final step for the client, is to arrive at a solution to the situation of conflict, either in practice or by overcoming it, and finally by letting go of it.

is it true ? light bulbs burn out faster by off-- on??
ess1December 19, 2008
is it true that swithing a light on and off causes the bulb to burn out faster than leaving it burn?
someone said to leave holiday string lights burn because plugging and unplugging would burn the string out faster?
sounds wrong to me as a bulb has a "life"

Just A Game Brah
ive not seen any clamping yet but like what zydion said about the last pick thing. I believe when the system deems you worthy you will be placed as last pick ( as you are now playing against the New division and are not the highest ranked person in that bracket) ive seen this a few times. it's probably safe to assume that when you are first pick then your rank is higher than your mmr, when your last your mmr is higher than your rank, and if your in between your values are near equal. yes?
It's odd last night I was actually placed in a group with a silver tier person. I thought we would only have opponents and allies in the same tier.
"The LP clamping that happens at Division I is due to your MMR being much lower than needed to be in the next tier, as tiers earned are permanent. So in order for the system to be sure that you belong in the next tier, it'll clamp your LP gains when you are close to promotional series to make sure that you can consistently win your games and not just due to a lucky streak."
So you say the system makes sure you're not on a lucky streak by clamping your LP... i get it... but what if im on a not-so-lucky streak?
The thing is... does the system have a way of saying... oh this guy has lost 5 in a row... maybe he had an afk... maybe he had 2 games ina row with an afk (has happend to all of us i guess)... maybe he got one of the insta-lock ap mid tryndamere first item chalise...
My question is... does the system actualy prevents the losing streaks as much as the lucky streaks?
The system punishes so hard im scared of even trying out ranked... everyone talks so bad about the community and the ranked trolls + the new system that id really just play dominion for FUN (yeah i play a game to have fun, im weird)

Utah County sheriff's sergeant killed in plane crash near Spanish Fork
News of death came just before funeral for slain Draper officer
"Even dealing with the angry and belligerent, he was that guy who always just had a calm confident spark and was polite — he said, 'Yes, sir' and 'No, sir,'" Patey said. "That is just the way he was, that quiet confidence."
Cannon and Tracy said Lessley was an accomplished officer and a leader admired by his colleagues. He was a sergeant assigned as a supervisor over court security at Utah County's 4th District Court and joined Utah County's SMART — Subtance Misuse and Abuse Reduction Team, a volunteer coalition working to curb drug abuse in the county.
He spent the last nine years with the sheriff's office, where he embraced a variety of leadership and supervisory training positions.
Lessley's expertise ran the gamut, including teaching drug recognition, field sobriety testing, and accompanying new officers as their field training officer, as well as serving as a hostage negotiator and emergency vehicle operator teacher.
Since February of 2012, he had been assigned to work for the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office in his capacity as a law enforcement officer, investigating unattended or suspicious deaths.
His profile on LinkedIn says he'd been a certified flight instructor at the Spanish Fork-based Diamond Flight Center since March of 2009.
Lessley was a graduate of Brigham Young University, where he spent his first four years in law enforcement. He had a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in public administration. He served an LDS mission to Georgia and South Carolina and in a personal biography noted that he may have been the only police officer in Utah County to have performed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at multiple venues.
According to his Facebook page, Lessley was a fan of SkyCraft planes. SkyCraft manufactures SD-1 Minisports at its Orem location. Allen Kenitzer, spokesman with the Federal Aviation Administration, said Lessley was piloting a SD-1 Minisport, a Czech Republic-designed plane that was a kit built in Orem.
Kenitzer said the FAA registry shows it was a brand new plane as of January 2013, and Tracy added that Lessley was working at the request of others to test the worthiness of the plane.
Patey noted that Lessley was an "exceptional pilot" who had more than 1,000 hours of flight time. Unlike some in the field, Lessley was an instructor beyond just to get the additional flying time and to make money, Patey said.
When an aerobatic plane needed to be flown to Texas for its new owner, Lessley was picked for the job, and Patey went up with him on a test flight.
"I went up with him in that aerobatic airplane and it was 30 seconds and that plane was his. He could make it do anything he wanted."
Tracy said some of the safety features on the plane deployed during the crash, which will be part of the investigation conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA.
A tribute to Lessley has been put up by the Heroes Memorial Foundation.

Mariners Fan
A blog written by and for Seattle Mariners fans
King Felix on Opening Day
Overnight tonight, the Mariners will begin their 2012 campaign. So far, their trip to Japan has not gone well, as they were soundly defeated by both the Hanshin Tigers and Yomiuri Giants. Fortunately, neither of those games count in the official standings. But, tonight things begin for real against the Oakland Athletics. The good news […] [Read More]
Mariners Ashore in Japan

Another Year, Another Spring Training for this Ancient Former Mariner

But this spring, Jamie Moyer, the all-time leader in Mariner wins, is back on the mound competing for a spot in the Colorado Rockies' rotation. In his first two Cactus League appearances, Moyer looked like […] [Read More]

Mariners Fans trying to get excited about Spring Training

TCBY has announced plans to open a new flagship store in Broomfield, Colo., which will also serve as the company's training center for its domestic and international franchisees.
Located at the base of its corporate headquarters at Arista Place, Colo., construction of the new store will begin in December with a target opening date scheduled for early March 2013. In addition to the company's TCBY Super Fro-Yo and Greek soft-serve frozen yogurt, the corporate location will also introduce its first Live Culture bar featuring Greek yogurt and anti-oxidant juices used to create delicious smoothies.
"We are very excited to open our first corporate store and the 12th TCBY location in Colorado right here in Broomfield. The tremendous growth opportunity at Arista will be very advantageous for the advancement of the brand," said Tim Casey, CEO of TCBY. "We look forward to swirling our delicious frozen yogurt and introducing some new aspects of our brand to the local community."
In addition to its new frozen yogurt store design, the facility will also serve as the chain's R&D headquarters.
"We have invested heavily into the food science of our fro-yo, giving our R&D team the chance to distance itself from the category, and it's paying dividends for our brand and our partners," Casey added.
The new TCBY store will be owned and operated by Mrs. Fields Famous Brands LLC dba Famous Brands International, the parent company for the TCBY brand that relocated its headquarters from Salt Lake City to Broomfield in July. The company currently occupies the entire 6th floor at Arista Place employing more than 35 people.

In a little town, many years ago
Lived a puppet maker who would give a puppet show
And his lifetime wish, for which he used to pray
Was to hear his puppets sing and play
In his world of dreams, he began to feel
That his little puppets, to him were very real
Every night, he dreamed that soon would come the day
He'd hear his little puppets, sing and play
My name Pancho
My name Pedro
My name Cisco
My name Jingo
Won't you listen to us as we play?
With his faith and love
He believed somewhere, someone up above
Would grant his little prayer
The miracle occurred before his ending day
The old man heard his puppets sing and play
My name Pancho
My name Pedro
My name Cisco
My name Jingo
Won't you listen to us as we play?

I wish to express my apeprciation to this writer just for rescuing me from this scenario. Right after searching throughout the world-wide-web and getting suggestions which were not helpful, I figured my life was done. Being alive without the approaches to the problems you have solved all through your guideline is a serious case, as well as those which could have adversely affected my career if I had not come across the blog. Your good training and kindness in taking care of almost everything was valuable. I don know what I wouldve done if I had not come upon such a stuff like this. I can at this moment relish my future. Thanks a lot very much for your professional and result oriented help. I won think twice to suggest your blog to any person who should get guidelines about this situation.

As awareness of Security Council Resolution 1325 increases, we have observed a tendency to refer to the resolution and its implementation in general terms and as an easy panacea for the issues around women and armed conflict. This is not always accompanied by a consideration of exactly what is meant by implementation in concrete terms.

One of the biggest misconceptions about space travel is that if we send people to Mars, they will have to survive on liquid meals the entire time. But then again packing 18 months worth of food for a potential trip to the red planet would weigh up to three tons! As an alternative, NASA has theorized that any long-term mission would mean the crew would have to grow fruit and vegetables, possibly in a garden or plant nursery on the ship. With this in mind, they have begun testing prototype greenhouses for growing veggies in space.
The low-power, low-maintenance greenhouses, known as "VEGGIE" vegetable production systems, would be equipped with LEDs that emit the type of light most useful for plant growth, and are currently being tested in Arizona before possibly being sent to the International Space Station (ISS) for orbital tests.
Developed by Wisconsin-based Orbital Technologies Corp., the technology is designed to be lightweight, energy- efficient and very low maintenance and has been tested at the annual Desert RATS (Research And Technology Studies) in Arizona. The test phase in Arizona has thus far seen three types of lettuce grown in the chamber, and to make sure they were fully edible, they were consumed by the research team. In addition to lettuce, it is hoped that other greens as well as tomatoes, radishes, peppers and herbs can be grown. Tests of the lettuce showed that it had the same nutritional value as terrestrial-grown equivalents, but NASA is planning on conducting further studies to make sure no pathogens or viruses could potentially be carried up to the ISS.

The Ernest Becker Foundation
Front Page
- Details
Celebration and Appeal
We ask for your financial support just once a year, every December. So here we are with easy online access (Please Donate Here).
To review, the EBF is a public 501c3, meaning it is publicly supported, and contributions get maximum IRS deductibility. The foundation in our title stands not for endowments, as much as we'd like to have them, but for Becker's foundational synthesis of science and religion, and the many interrelated disciplines.
Take a look at this issue of our newsletter to see if we might be living up to the challenge of active creative work on that interdisciplinary synthesis. Most notable, Becker's spectacular science wing, Terror Management Theory (TMT), is represented here in the reports on three works by Daniel Sullivan, a protégé of Jeff Greenberg of TMT trio originator fame, with interdisciplinary vision.
Sullivan's spirited discussion of his new book coedited with Jeff, Death in Classic and Contemporary Film: Fade to Black. (see review in our September newsletter) showed graduate students connecting with an articulate animated polished young professor who is reaching from the TMT methodology into film criticism. In two earlier publications, during his doctoral training, he delved deeply into the theologian philosopher Tillich, one of Becker's main existential thinkers behind his interest in religion. [see Sullivan on Tillich and Growth Beyond Psychology]
So again, we have interdisciplinary dialog, just what Dr. Becker prescribed.
And one more thing: Poetry! [see John Wright below] What a way to wrap up.
John Wright's Beckerian poetry
By Neil Elgee
John Wright is a cherished old friend and a fellow retired endocrinologist who has become an accomplished and published poet in his later years. Also a serious Beckerite, we call him the Poet Laureate of the EBF. See two of his poems at the "Read more" link.
He has just published his fourth collection "Bumping Against the Glass," 63 pages. I think it is a treasure and his acknowledgment note shows how valuable Becker has been for him. Also John's bio in this little collection says he has "sustained a measure of playfulness unknown to me during the first sixty-plus years of my life."

Sullivan on Tillich and growth beyond psychology
By Daniel Sullivan
In recent decades, Greenberg, Solomon, and Pyszczynski have transformed a substantial corner of the world of social psychology by translating Beckerian ideas into terror management theory (TMT). This theory has in turn ushered in a new "experimental existential psychology (XXP)," examining the effects of exposing participants to reminders of existential threats (e.g., death, meaninglessness) or existential resources (e.g., God or a sense of awe).
In addition to in this empirical tradition, Becker was an interdisciplinary thinker, so there is a strong tradition of Beckerian work in the humanities, represented, e.g., by EBF VP Daniel Liechty, philosopher, theologian.
In my own work I push the question of whether "XXP" represents the full range of insights of the existentialists themselves (let alone Becker). In this connection, my colleagues and I have recently turned to the work of Paul Tillich (which also inspired Becker). In our article "Toward a Comprehensive Understanding of Existential Threat," we attempted to leverage Tillich's distillation of existential theories of anxiety as a framework for synthetically bringing together various findings in social psychology that have previously been viewed as competing or contradictory.
The work of Tillich, Becker, and the existentialists more generally further suggests that there are limits to what experimental studies can tell us about human experience. Studies of art and film, which Becker himself pursued, may be useful alternative sources of "evidence" about the reality of our lives and existential dilemmas. Accordingly, in my article "Tillich and Tarkovsky" (graciously encouraged by Kirk Schneider), I use Tillich's analysis in a very different context – not to synthesize research, but rather to illuminate a work of artistic cinema. It is my hope that these modest studies go some small way towards showing the usefulness not only of Tillich's ideas, but of interdisciplinary dialogue more broadly, in the contemporary intellectual climate.

Report on Daniel Sullivan's "Death in Film" lecture
by EBF Staff
In mid-October, the Ernest Becker Foundation sponsored a lecture at Seattle University in which Daniel Sullivan, an assistant professor at the University of Arizona, presented on the topic "Death in Film, Exploring Becker's Relevance in Cinema Studies." This lecture is based on a recent book edited by Mr. Sullivan and Jeff Greenberg, Death in Classic and Contemporary Film (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013), which was reviewed in the previous newsletter by Patrick Shen. It is clear that death, in the form of murder, the result of violence, suicide and as a form of psychological motivation for key characters, has a long and central place in cinematic drama.
In this lecture, Sullivan outlined a number of the different categories and analyses that have emerged over the years to interpret the role of death in the history of film. Sullivan built his presentation toward the point that death themes are contextualized differently in various film genres, such as horror films, war films, and crime movies. Overall, depictions of killing have become increasingly graphic in recent film. Sullivan noted that this increased depiction of graphic death appears to correlate with the decreased ability of shared social meanings to act as adequate buffers between death anxiety and the individual.
Sullivan suggested that in applying ideas of Otto Rank and Ernest Becker to the interpretation of film, a number of counter-intuitive points begin to make sense. Replete with examples, clips and excerpts from both Hollywood and the German film tradition, the lecture culminates in a point Shen highlighted as well in his review, that though it appears in many forms and settings, the role of death in film actually serves to underline and enhance the value of life.
A highly appreciative and sizable audience composed of approximately half EBF regulars and half graduate students in the MA in Psychology Program at Seattle U, kept the very engaging and articulate Prof Sullivan occupied in dialog well into the night.
Special thanks go to Professor Kevin Krycka, Director of the MA Program, for co-sponsoring this event.
Charles Nolan's The Holy Bluff
By Daniel Liechty
Of Recent Interest… is the new book by Charles Nolan, The Holy Bluff: The Search for Meaning in a Post-Religious Age (Kindle, 2013). Nolan, a Catholic seminarian turned social worker, writes from the perspective of one who knows both what it feels like from the inside to have deep religious faith, and also what it feels like to experience the ebbing and loss of that faith in the face of exposure to postmodern philosophy and the scientific worldview. He refers to the current situation, in which we can no longer simply draw without dilemma on the comforts of formal and institutional religion, as "…the strange hand we have been dealt." He recognizes that it is both something new and unique, but also a situation in which we can learn from those who have gone before us. In this regard, Nolan finds Ernest Becker's ideas and writings to be especially useful and moving.
In this very engaging book, Nolan begins with the idea that in our time, the very notions of truth that people once took for granted have been thoroughly undermined. Even to speak of a quest for truth has something of an ironic tinge to it. From Becker, Nolan comes to realize that it is our wrestling with mortality that creates within us the need for truth, yet whatever truth we think we have found also tends to dissolve and crumble in the face of death. This is the irony of our situation. Many readers of this newsletter will smile in recognition as Nolan narrates the period in his life in which he was shoving The Denial of Death under the noses of any friends or acquaintances who seemed even mildly interested in his existential musings.
Becker on Otto Rank
"Rank was—as the young people say—'something else' You cannot merely praise much of his work because in its stunning brilliance it is often fantastic, gratuitous, superlative; the insights seem like a gift, beyond what is necessary."
From the preface to Denial of Death
