I found out about two years ago something I'd never known: I was a breech birth. Instead of arriving in the world head first, which is the usual procedure, the first glimpse anybody got of me was the other end. And I've been doing things ass-backwards ever since.
For example, sending Christmas cards. Did you get my card yet? No? Here's why.
Unlike many people, I unabashedly love Christmas. Except for those few dark years with Mr. Ex, it has never been a source of stress. I don't fuss about finding the Perfect Gift or run madly from party to party forcing myself to be cheerful. I am cheerful. I don't find myself wishing for the holidays to be over so we can get back to normal. The normal part of winter in Chicago is like the grimmest part of a Bergman film run in an endless loop. Feh.
This doesn't mean I'm one of those people who merrily get the shopping wrapped up before the frost is on the pumpkin. Heavens, no. The extra demands of the Christmas season deal a knock-down blow to my already faltering grip on organization. I gave up sending cards years ago because I knew perfectly well there was no way I'd get them all addressed and stamped and to the mailbox on time.
Organizationally, I'm an unqualified mess in December. I just don't get stressed out about it.
When I grow up, though, I would like to be like James. Have you read James's excellent blog? Probably you have. He's a popular fellow, and deservedly so.
If you haven't, I'll give you the synopsis. Handsome James writes about his knitting, which displays a sense of color and pattern unlike anyone else's; and his domestic projects, which are often enough to make Martha Stewart sink down into an armchair and call for a double vodka.
James is not a man who requires the administration of sal volatile after writing a note to the paper boy. Oh, no. James is a man who managed to get an adorable bundle of New Zealand-related goodies from his part of Oceania to my part of the Great Lakes before I made my first trip to by Frango mints from Marshall Field's. And he wrapped the goodies in knitted fair isle gift wrap with a knitted bow.
James, you're a wonderful guy. And I wish you a Merry, Merry Christmas. And I wish you would knock it off for a little while because you're making the rest of us tired just watching you.
Also in the overachiever category we have Ted, a new blogger and masterful knitter and spinner. Ted, who apparently feels I don't have enough to do with my free time, has sent me Charlene Schurch's Sensational Knitted Socks, which had the intended effect of reviving my interest in sock knitting. I didn't know about this book, had never seen it, and it turned out to be the sock book I'd been hoping to find. Clear, concise, attractive, and not shaped like a sock. Now I have to go buy sock yarn. Great.
Ted also sent along a CD called Joyous Light featuring a soprano, Isabel Bayrakdarian, who had somehow managed to fly under my radar. I rather like this album, which is a to say that since it arrived I have been unable to stop listening to it. Now I have to go out and buy absolutely everything else ever recorded by Ms. Bayrakdarian.
Ted, honey, thank you so much. And thanks, also, from the yarn and music retailers who will now be claiming a larger portion of my monthly paycheck.
Ted, I should mention, is Canadian. James is a Kiwi. And splendidly rounding out a British Commonwealth trifecta of holiday giving is Judith.
Judith doesn't have a blog, but she reads this one. I would venture to say that she and I are possibly among the greatest living fans of Mary Thomas, the fascinating and elusive journalist who wrote Mary Thomas's Knitting Book and Mary Thomas's Book of Knitting Patterns, et al.
Judith, who lives in England, dropped me a note after I mentioned an interest in Mrs. Thomas and has become a regular correspondent via e-mail. Her letters are so lovely that I don't read them online - I print them out to savor later on.
And into my mailbox fell a package from Judith, from an address so charmingly British that when I opened the envelope I swear I smelled crumpets.
In a bookshop in her town, Judith had found a vintage, hardbound edition of one of Mary Thomas's books on embroidery (my first love, pre-dating knitting) and sent it across the pond to me. I'd tried to find a good copy of this in the U.S. at a decent price, and even the online dealers who generally hook me up with the good stuff couldn't help. But Judith did.
Judith, dear - I hope you find something really nice in the plum pudding this year. Like tickets to Italy. Or a tiara.
Santa is probably still sitting in an FAA briefing about revised no-fly zones, but I feel like he's already landed at my apartment. I'm touched, I'm grateful. I'm put to shame. And all I can say is, thank you.

I so love your illustrations--yesterday's Nativity was amazing. I hope you don't mind, but I have printed it out and gave it to all my knitting group friends who are not on-line. We are all koigu junkies. On my wish list is a Kali clothing item. Hope he found you and it in time for St. Nick.
Glad to hear of someone who actually likes the holidays. It is easy to forget that all the extra stuff we do at this time of year is supposed to be for fun--the parties, buying gifts for people we care about, etc. I admit, I get down because of it at times. Your post today made me see there is no need to be down. This is a fun time of year.
Happy Holidays--enjoy Christmas AND New Year's eve. That's my reason for using the plural and currently under attack HH....
- Mom said...
I love the the picture. You do such a wonderful job. This is wonderful time of the year and I can't wait until next week when we will be all together. The gifts you got sound wonderful. See you soon.
- Jenn said...
Please sketch that FAA briefing you mentioned - how cute would that be!
- greg said...
Franklin, I feel uplifted just having read your blog today. Thanks.
- Ted said...
I'm an over-achiever!?
Coming from someone who works a job, maintains a household, maintains a relationship, sketches daily, posts a blog entry...what?...4 times weekly, goes to the gym, and gets as much knitting done as you do, along with reading books, taking pictures, listening to music and who knows what else...
Enjoy the book and the CD. I'm glad they are good choices for you. I hope to see many pairs of socks here.
- Susan said...
Ahhh, I know how you feel about Mary Thomas' books... I have a first of her Knitting Book and a second of her Knitting Patterns book and I treasure both of them compleatly. The Knitted Patterns book was lovingly owned by another knitter, who knitted many of the patterns in the book, as evidinced by the amazing amount of notes and lightly crossed out lines in the patterns. Makes it even more special for me.
- Ellen in Conn said...
Franklin, I think I spooked some guy in Borders Books this evening. I smiled so broadly at him, and watched him go along the shelves for awaaay too long for politeness, because he had glasses, a tightly-curled cap-brim, shaved head, olive skin, a little beard, rather un-tall, black leather jacket. I was so thrilled to see him, although he wasn't what he looked like (I think).
Meanwhile, I also love Christmas, especially whem I am not broke. I made the third double-batch of springerles today. Tomorrow it is ginger crinkles.
- Helen said...
Please, please draw Santa at the FAA briefing!
- Marie said...
You know, I don't think I've ever seen a fair isle gift wrap with a knitted bow. Any chance of a picture?
- Anne said...
Have a great Christmas, Franklin. Enjoy the Isabel Bayrakdarian CD. She's a rising young star who will be debuting at Covent Garden (Susanna in Figaro, I think). I'm sure she'll have a great career. Happy knitting!
- Sean said...
How wonderful...you're such a loved man and knitter and blogger. If I "get" you, I know you're really enjoying the love others have poured on you. Enjoy it...you deserve it.
- Jay said...
OMG! Must write Christmas cards! (rushes away from the computer in a mad panic)
- Carol said...
Okay, I'm so very, very shallow, but why don't any of my readers sent me crumpet-scented letters or thoughtful packages with handmade gift wrap? (sniffle)
- bess said...
A Very Merry X-Mas and holiday to you Franklin...I love seeing your sketches, reading your thoughts and seeing your knit work--a big thanks for mentioning james on you last entry.I went to see his work, based on you support and he is truly a remarkable knitter. i love his use of colour and texture--my new years resoloutions should be a) learn to spell correctly b) to become a more risky and freespirited knitter--i really do love this whole community of knitters i have met ---and it all started with Marge's Gallery of Ghastlies 10/04--i laughed and prayed i wasn't one of the candidates--she is a total hoot-love her total honesty, integrety, talents, Can't wait for the book to come out---well that is all for now--enjoy these days ahead--g-d knows we all need some gentle, sweet,ernast spirit this season

Thank you. You made those gifts become one to each reader as well.
- Kate said...
Thank you once again Frankiln, for your witty and entertaining writings - I am a big fan of Mary Thomas also as she has such a genteel way of putting things eg; "The true motion of Knitting is circular, and not to and fro. This is an adaptation, to which all reverse actions are an expediency."
Festive greetings

Thank you for an uplifting post!
I always leave your site smiling but today was special.. :)

How nice it is to read that some one enjoys this time as year as I do. I finally gave up wasting my money on Christmas cards that wouldn't get mailed before Christmas this year. The last 2 years, I've purchased cards and have even put stamps and written many of the cards, but never actually got them to the mailbox. Ugh, well, it's the thought that counts, right? :) I don't stress about Christmas either. I love every moment of decorating and even enjoy hitting the mall for that one last gift on Christmas eve! I'd say that the only down fall to Southern California is that many times it's a little to warm this time of year and it does take away from "feeling" of the holiday season. When you have to wear a tank and shorts just to sit by the fire and drink hot cider just isn't the same :)
Your gifts sound lovely, I'm quite envious, you deserve every one of them. I would love to see and get a print of Santa and an FAA briefing ... my husband is a commerical pilot, he'd get a kick out of it too.
Happy Holidays to you Franklin and all your readers as well.
- Jon said...
Ha. I actually sent cards out. Don't expect a life story but it's a card.
I think that's the first time in my life I have ever sent out Christmas cards....hmmmmm
- Jan aka Warrior Knitter said...
I love your drawings. They're a gift. I so enjoy reading your blog & then to find such wonderful illustrations sprinkled here & there. And so many with witty knitting content. It's difficult to find such marvelous kntting-theme drawings & then your clever comments make them even more special.
Merry, merry Christmas, Franklin.
- Sahara said...
There is another Living fan of the Great Mary Thomas–me. In fact, I'm one of those people crazy enough to put to visit her grave and put flowers on it. God bless Judith. I would love to know about Mary's life.
Have a wonderful holiday, and kiss your sister for me.

They will fully transition to the PICU & CVICU environments by the end of their first year.

|Carol Sellman is the December 2012 Employee of the Month
Carol Sellman is the December 2012 Employee of the Month. Carol works as a Respiratory Therapist in Respiratory Care and has been with All Children's since 1998. Carol was recognized for her Service Excellence by a parent and a patient. The parent wrote:
My son has been coming to All Children's hospital since he was six weeks old. We adopted him when he was 6 years old. We live on the other side of the bay, but I decided to stay at All Children's for continuity of care. Little did I realize that this would be one of the best decisions I would ever make for my son.
Even without all the bells and whistles of All Children's, there is no other hospital where I would want my son to stay. The staff at All Children's is far superior to any other hospital. They truly care about my son. Carol from Respiratory Care came into my son's room with a lab coat covered with patients' handprints. She said to me, "Let me show you something." On the corner of her coat were a baby's handprints that said, Sweet Baby James - with my son's birthday. The prints were his! She said "I remembered you said you didn't have any pictures of your son as a baby and thought you might like to have this. She cut out the handprints and gave them to me.
I cannot tell you what it means to an adoptive mom to have this kind of connection to the past and what it means to know that people who care about my son, especially those who have been taken care of him for the past 13 years. All Children's is more than a hospital to us. It is a connection to my son's past. Through the excellent care of his doctors and All Children's staff, it is hope for his future.
The patient who nominated Carol for Employee of the Month said:
Carol is a really nice lady and who likes to play with others and I think she is one of the best RT's that anybody could ever have!
Carol's Department Director added:
Carol is a very caring individual and therapist, always doing the best for our patients.
Carol, thank you for your wonderful Service Excellence, the way you model the All Children's Service Standards, and all you do for our patients and families. Congratulations for receiving the All Children's Hospital Employee of the Month honors!

Life is an individual experience, in which we become somebody for just a moment; to live and to enjoy our dreams, leaving inevitably a trace behind us.'
Charlotte Bracegirdle's work is based around the subtle traces that we leave behind. When a person no longer occupies a space everything appears different, but visually nothing is altered. Everything looks, smells and feels as it was when that person was there, but the image is not the same despite evidence telling you that it is. The pictures become empty stages, deserted and uncanny – left only with hints of past activity. Although there are just the empty spaces, surreal shapes and objects floating, at a closer glance you'll see shadows where once were people.
Charlotte Bracegirdle graduated with an MA in Fine Art from the Royal College of Art, London in 2006. She has exhibited widely in London since graduating, and has more recently been included in art fairs in Miami and New York. In 2008 Bracegirdle was a finalist in the Becks Canvas Award, and in 2009 was a runner up in the AXA Young Masters Art Prize.
Charlotte Bracegirdle lives and works in London.

Seeing is Believing explores unusual and alternative ways of creating a photographic image, and challenges the notion of the photograph as a record of the truth.
Erwin Blumenfeld was one of the earliest proponents of Surrealist photography. Following his internment in a concentration camp during the German occupation of France for producing collages mocking Hitler, Blumenfeld moved to New York, and during the 1940s and 50s began producing images that celebrated the female form. His works are given a surrealist twist many years before Photoshop or camera trickery made this commonplace, using veils, mirrors and frosted glass to create images that are distinctly contemporary.
Charlotte Bracegirdle's new series features iconic photographs by photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson. Working in acrylic on bought prints, Bracegirdle has removed the central element from these images, leaving shadows and ghostly traces 'where once were people'. She creates a sense of deja vu for the viewer, in that these works are just not quite familiar.
Rob Carter's award-winning Travelling Still series evokes the feeling of movement in a still image, as if taken from the side window of a moving vehicle. This is obtained by using a revolving lens camera and long exposures, and it has taken the artist over six years to collect the works from destinations including the bright lights of Las Vegas, New York and Tokyo to the tulip fields of Holland and seascapes around the world.
Susan Derges' River Taw series consists of photograms, or camera-less photographs, created by placing unexposed photographic paper on the bed of a river near her home, and using torches, flash guns and moonlight to expose the paper, revealing trailing ivy, leaves and cracked ice.
Harold 'Doc' Edgerton is credited with the invention of the strobe flash, which enabled the electrical engineer to take photographs, such as the perfect coronet from a single drop of milk falling into liquid or a bullet bursting through an apple, with exposure times of less than 1/10,000 of a second.
David Levinthal uses macro lenses and works with small toys, props and dramatic lighting to create mini environments of subject matters varying from war scenes to voyeurism, to racial and political references to American culture.
For more information about Seeing is Believing please contact email@example.com.
Opus Art is proud to be returning to SCOPE's flagship art fair at 320 West St (West Side Highway).

Customer Raves & Reviews
simple to design, quick turnaround, and cheaper than DIY tags!
We printed a poem on the tags to go with our favor (candy coated almonds). We were able to personalize the tag in the colors of the wedding. High quality. Much cheaper and easier than purchasing Avery tags from Staples and printing on my own computer. I highly recommend these. Also, the tags arrived within a week, so the turnaround was very quick.

Cat Cross Their Graves: A Joe Grey Mystery
Cat Cross Their Graves: A Joe Grey Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Related Editions
The beautiful, serene village of Molena Point, California is the type of place where people go to get away from the harsher realities of life––which is what attracted classic film star Patty Rose to buy the village inn, and settle down to enjoy her golden years. But as the town gathers to celebrate and honor the beautiful, aging actress with a festival of her old films, Patty is brutally murdered––to the horror and shock of this peaceful burg.
A gentle tortoiseshell cat, Kit, has been enjoying a retreat to the animal–loving actress's inn, where she's spending time with her feline friends Dulcie, and the slick tomcat sleuth, Joe Grey. But her relaxation is cut short when she hears the gunshots that end Patty's life, and sees her dead body sprawled on the inn's front steps. She glimpses the killer racing into the parking garage, and soon follows his trail.
Joe and Dulcie must now follow the naïve Kit's trail, and keep her from getting into serious trouble. To complicate matters, Joe discovers that Dulcie has been hiding a runaway child––one of the lucky humans that these special cats choose to talk to––who has now been kidnapped, likely by the same man who killed their famous friend. In the end, the little girl's abduction leads them to Patty's killer, and the feline friends are all united––but they all must mourn a departed friend as they stand beside the newly laid grave of Patty Rose.
About the Author

High blood pressure is a common condition in which the force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.
Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.
You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without any symptoms. Even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and your heart continues and can be detected. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.
High blood pressure generally develops over many years, and it affects nearly everyone eventually. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. And once you know you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it.
Most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms, even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels.
Although a few people with early-stage high blood pressure may have dull headaches, dizzy spells or a few more nosebleeds than normal, these signs and symptoms usually don't occur until high blood pressure has reached a severe or life-threatening stage.
You'll likely have your blood pressure taken as part of a routine doctor's appointment.
Ask your doctor for a blood pressure reading at least every two years starting at age 18. Blood pressure should be checked in both arms to determine if there is a difference. Your doctor will likely recommend more frequent readings if you've already been diagnosed with high blood pressure or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Children age 3 and older will usually have their blood pressure measured as a part of their yearly checkups.
If you don't regularly see your doctor, you may be able to get a free blood pressure screening at a health resource fair or other locations in your community. You can also find machines in some stores that will measure your blood pressure for free, but these machines can give you inaccurate results.
There are two types of high blood pressure.
For most adults, there's no identifiable cause of high blood pressure. This type of high blood pressure, called essential hypertension or primary hypertension, tends to develop gradually over many years.
Some people have high blood pressure caused by an underlying condition. This type of high blood pressure, called secondary hypertension, tends to appear suddenly and cause higher blood pressure than does primary hypertension. Various conditions and medications can lead to secondary hypertension, including:
High blood pressure has many risk factors, including:
Drinking too much alcohol. Over time, heavy drinking can damage your heart. Having more than two drinks a day for men and more than one drink a day for women may affect your blood pressure.
If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger.
Sometimes pregnancy contributes to high blood pressure, as well.
Although high blood pressure is most common in adults, children may be at risk, too. For some children, high blood pressure is caused by problems with the kidneys or heart. But for a growing number of kids, poor lifestyle habits, such as an unhealthy diet, obesity and lack of exercise, contribute to high blood pressure.
The excessive pressure on your artery walls caused by high blood pressure can damage your blood vessels, as well as organs in your body. The higher your blood pressure and the longer it goes uncontrolled, the greater the damage.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to:
Metabolic syndrome. This syndrome is a cluster of disorders of your body's metabolism, including increased waist circumference; high triglycerides; low high-density lipoprotein (HDL); or "good," cholesterol; high blood pressure; and high insulin levels.
If you have high blood pressure, you're more likely to have other components of metabolic syndrome. The more components you have, the greater your risk of developing diabetes, heart disease or stroke.
If you think you may have high blood pressure, make an appointment with your family doctor or health care provider to have your blood pressure checked.
No special preparations are necessary to have your blood pressure checked. You might want to wear a short-sleeve shirt to your appointment so that the blood pressure cuff can fit around your arm properly. You might want to avoid caffeinated food and drinks right before your test. You should also use the toilet before having your blood pressure measured.
Because some medications, such as over-the-counter cold medicines, pain medications, antidepressants, birth control pills and others, can raise your blood pressure, it might be a good idea to bring a list of medications and supplements you take to your doctor's appointment. Don't stop taking any prescription medications that you think may affect your blood pressure without your doctor's advice.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot to discuss, it's a good idea to be prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For high blood pressure, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
It's never too early to make healthy lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, eating healthy foods and becoming more physically active. These are primary lines of defense against high blood pressure and its complications, including heart attack and stroke.
To measure your blood pressure, your doctor or a specialist will usually place an inflatable arm cuff around your arm and measure your blood pressure using a pressure-measuring gauge.
A blood pressure reading, given in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), has two numbers. The first, or upper, number measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats (systolic pressure). The second, or lower, number measures the pressure in your arteries between beats (diastolic pressure).
Blood pressure measurements fall into four general categories:
Both numbers in a blood pressure reading are important. But after age 60, the systolic reading is even more significant. Isolated systolic hypertension — when diastolic pressure is normal but systolic pressure is high — is a common type of high blood pressure among people older than 60.
Your doctor will likely take two to three blood pressure readings each at three or more separate appointments before diagnosing you with high blood pressure. This is because blood pressure normally varies throughout the day, and sometimes specifically during visits to the doctor, a condition called white-coat hypertension. Your blood pressure should be measured in both arms to determine if there is a difference. Your doctor may ask you to record your blood pressure at home and at work to provide additional information.
If you have any type of high blood pressure, your doctor will review your medical history and conduct a physical examination.
Your doctor may also recommend routine tests, such as a urine test (urinalysis), blood tests and an electrocardiogram — a test that measures your heart's electrical activity. Your doctor may also recommend additional tests, such as a cholesterol test, to check for more signs of heart disease.
An important way to check if your blood pressure treatment is working, or to diagnose worsening high blood pressure, is to monitor your blood pressure at home. Home blood pressure monitors are widely available, and you don't need a prescription to buy one. Talk to your doctor about how to get started.
Changing your lifestyle can go a long way toward controlling high blood pressure. Your doctor may recommend you eat a healthy diet with less salt, exercise regularly, quit smoking and maintain a healthy weight. But sometimes lifestyle changes aren't enough.
In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may recommend medication to lower your blood pressure.
Your blood pressure treatment goal depends on how healthy you are.
If you're age 60 or older, and use of medications results in lower systolic blood pressure (such as less than 140 mm Hg), your medications won't need to be changed unless they cause negative effects to your health or quality of life.
Also, people older than 60 commonly have isolated systolic hypertension — when diastolic pressure is normal but systolic pressure is high.
The category of medication your doctor prescribes depends on your blood pressure measurements and whether you also have other medical problems.
Thiazide diuretics. Diuretics, sometimes called water pills, are medications that act on your kidneys to help your body eliminate sodium and water, reducing blood volume.
Thiazide diuretics are often the first, but not the only, choice in high blood pressure medications. If you're not taking a diuretic and your blood pressure remains high, talk to your doctor about adding one or replacing a drug you currently take with a diuretic. Diuretics or calcium channel blockers may work better for blacks than do angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors alone.
Beta blockers. These medications reduce the workload on your heart and open your blood vessels, causing your heart to beat slower and with less force.
When prescribed alone, beta blockers don't work as well, especially in older adults, but may be effective when combined with other blood pressure medications.
Calcium channel blockers. These medications help relax the muscles of your blood vessels. Some slow your heart rate. Calcium channel blockers may work better for older people and blacks than do ACE inhibitors alone.
Grapefruit juice interacts with some calcium channel blockers, increasing blood levels of the medication and putting you at higher risk of side effects. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you're concerned about interactions.
Renin inhibitors. Aliskiren (Tekturna) slows down the production of renin, an enzyme produced by your kidneys that starts a chain of chemical steps that increases blood pressure.
Tekturna works by reducing the ability of renin to begin this process. Due to a risk of serious complications, including stroke, you shouldn't take aliskiren with ACE inhibitors or ARBs.
If you're having trouble reaching your blood pressure goal with combinations of the above medications, your doctor may prescribe:
Once your blood pressure is under control, your doctor may have you take a daily aspirin to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disorders.
To reduce the number of daily medication doses you need, your doctor may prescribe a combination of low-dose medications rather than larger doses of one single drug. In fact, two or more blood pressure drugs may be more effective than one. Sometimes finding the most effective medication or combination of drugs is a matter of trial and error.
No matter what medications your doctor prescribes to treat your high blood pressure, you'll need to make lifestyle changes to lower your blood pressure.
Your doctor may recommend several lifestyle changes, including:
If your blood pressure remains stubbornly high despite taking at least three different types of high blood pressure drugs, one of which should be a diuretic, you may have resistant hypertension.
Resistant hypertension is blood pressure that's resistant to treatment. People who have controlled high blood pressure but are taking four different types of medications at the same time to achieve that control also are considered to have resistant hypertension.
Having resistant hypertension doesn't mean your blood pressure will never get lower. In fact, if you and your doctor can identify what's behind your persistently high blood pressure, there's a good chance you can meet your goal with the help of treatment that's more effective.
Your doctor or hypertension specialist can evaluate whether the medications and doses you're taking for your high blood pressure are appropriate. You may have to fine-tune your medications to come up with the most effective combination and doses.
In addition, you and your doctor can review medications you're taking for other conditions. Some medications, foods or supplements can worsen high blood pressure or prevent your high blood pressure medications from working effectively. Be open and honest with your doctor about all the medications or supplements you take.
If you don't take your high blood pressure medications exactly as directed, your blood pressure can pay the price. If you skip doses because you can't afford the medication, because you have side effects or because you simply forget to take your medications, talk to your doctor about solutions. Don't change your treatment without your doctor's guidance.
Lifestyle changes can help you control and prevent high blood pressure, even if you're taking blood pressure medication. Here's what you can do:
Decrease the salt in your diet. A lower sodium level — 1,500 milligrams (mg) a day — is appropriate for people 51 years of age or older, and individuals of any age who are African-American or who have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease.
Otherwise healthy people can aim for 2,300 mg a day or less. While you can reduce the amount of salt you eat by putting down the saltshaker, you should also pay attention to the amount of salt that's in the processed foods you eat, such as canned soups or frozen dinners.
Monitor your blood pressure at home. Home blood pressure monitoring can help you keep closer tabs on your blood pressure, show if medication is working, and even alert you and your doctor to potential complications.
If your blood pressure is under control, you may be able to make fewer visits to your doctor if you monitor your blood pressure at home.
Practice relaxation or slow, deep breathing. Practice taking deep, slow breaths to help relax. There are some devices available that can help guide your breathing for relaxation. However, it's questionable whether these devices have a significant effect on lowering your blood pressure.
Although diet and exercise are the most appropriate tactics to lower your blood pressure, some supplements also may help lower it. However, more research is needed. These include:
While it's best to include these supplements in your diet as foods, you can also take supplement pills or capsules. Probiotic supplements, however, have been studied in a limited number of trials, and conclusions haven't been made regarding their potential effect on blood pressure. Talk to your doctor before adding any of these supplements to your blood pressure treatment. Some supplements can interact with medications, causing harmful side effects, such as an increased bleeding risk that could be fatal.
You can also practice relaxation techniques, such as yoga or deep breathing, to help you relax and reduce your stress level. These practices may temporarily reduce your blood pressure.
High blood pressure isn't a problem that you can treat and then ignore. It's a condition you need to manage for the rest of your life. To keep your blood pressure under control:
Sticking to lifestyle changes can be difficult, especially if you don't see or feel any symptoms of high blood pressure. If you need motivation, remember the risks associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure. It may help to enlist the support of your family and friends as well.

I can log into my mail.live.com account via my web browser (Firefox) and am receiving new messages there. I can log into account.live.com and msn.com as well.
The account name and password is correct in WLM/Tools/Accounts/Properties. Ive turned off my firewall protection (McAfee Security Center) and email scanning and still get the error. I have Automatic Updates turned on so I assume WLM is up to date.
I followed the instructions in http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=18c7c153-08b4-4bdc-8cb6-911ad9079f06, including reconfiguring my account. After adding a new account, when I attempt to download the folders, I get a slightly different error message with the same error ID (NOTE that the account name is now different that is the actual account name):

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80048820
I think the above message is due to WLM trying to use my WL password for "mail.services.live.com".
I have also tried the proposed solution of emptying my Inbox, Sent, etc. folders, but still get the same problem. I just noticed that the certificate for *.mail.live.com in the Firefox Certificate Manager expired on 3/9/2010, but dont know how to fix that maybe thats the problem.
I am running Win XP Pro SP3; default browser is Firefox; WLM Version 2009, Build 14.0.8089.0726. I have had no problems with Live Mail since I first started using it when the POP3 version came out.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm about to see if I can find another email client that will work with Hotmail/MSN.

Bailey McCann, Opalesque New York:
Alternatives friendly Luxembourg will be getting a new prime minister. Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Unions longest-serving head of government said in a statement early today that he will resign after being implicated in a spy scandal rocking the country. A report issued on July 5th indicated that the leader was implicated in a report dealing with irregularities in the State Intelligence Service.
Juncker previously served in a group of European finance ministers, and Luxembourg has a history of being friendly to investment firms looking to set up shop. Juncker's coalition partners, the Socialists first called for dissolution of the government and new elections, shortly after that Juncker himself indicated he would resign. Elections are expected to come quickly.
According to a BBC piece, the report suggested that illegal bugging operations, along with improper payments in exchange for access to elected officials. Juncker has denied any wrong doing, but the article notes that things may have gotten out of hand because he was too focused on his eurozone duties.
The local parliament was headed to summer vacation, which may still go forward depending on when elections are to be held. Deutsche Welle called Juncker 'the model European' and ......................

I sent this letter to Margaret Sullivan, the Public Editor of The New York Times today:
Dear Ms. Sullivan,
As public editor of The New York Times, your role, as I understand it, is to advocate for the interests of readers and to be an arbiter of accuracy.
I welcome your examination in your column today of Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren's dismissive and derogatory language about Palestinians, though it seems too much to hope that The New York Times can ever appoint a bureau chief that sees Palestinians as fully human.
I am disappointed however that in your comments about Rudoren's use of social media you wrote the following about me:
Jeffrey Goldberg, writing in The Atlantic, summarized them: "She shmoozed-up Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian activist who argues for Israel's destruction; she also praised Peter Beinart's upcoming book ('The Crisis of Zionism') as, 'terrific: provocative, readable, full of reporting and reflection.' She also linked without comment to an article in a pro-Hezbollah Lebanese newspaper." The headline on Mr. Goldberg's article was, "Twitterverse to New NYT Jerusalem Bureau Chief: Stop Tweeting!"
In other words you laundered Goldberg's inflammatory accusations against me as fact, and you never bothered to contact me to discern their accuracy or discuss them with me. What I advocate is full equality for Palestinians, full implementation of their human and political rights, and the abolition of all laws and practices by Israel that discriminate against them just because they are not Jews.
My views are well-laid out in numerous articles and in my book One Country.
That Goldberg, a former guard at an Israeli prison camp for Palestinian political prisoners, interprets my call for Palestinians to enjoy full human rights as advocating for "Israel's destruction" tells you much more about his view of the nature of Israel – that racism is foundational and necessary – than it does about my views.
But what is clear is that by using such language, Goldberg seeks to smear and marginalize me and paint me as an extremist, and more importantly to place discussion of Israel's racist and apartheid-like practices beyond the pale of debate and discussion.
It's also notable that you quoted Goldberg's characterization of me and described Phil Weiss as "the anti-Zionist Jewish-American journalist," but did not characterize Goldberg's ethnicity, religion or political views in any way, leaving the impression that he is some sort of neutral voice.
By quoting Goldberg's views about me as if he were some kind of authority, you have assisted him in his campaign. By affirming that communicating with me was a "misstep" by Rudoren you are explicitly endorsing Goldberg's view of me.
This being the case it is clear that your readers cannot rely on your ability to be fair and impartial when it comes to matters related to Palestine and the Israelis.
Ali Abunimah
Update: 7 December 2012
After my letter above and subsequent exchanges, New York Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan published a column today, "Some Second Thoughts and Reader Feedback About the Middle East and Social Media."
Part of it addressed the concerns raised in my letter:
- As has been pointed out to me by a number of readers, I should have provided more context for the quotation from Jeffrey Goldberg, briefly describing him, as I did another source of criticism, Philip Weiss.
One reader ("freespeechlover" from Wichita, Kan.), made this comment:
"Jeffrey Goldberg is not labeled in the manner as is Philip Weiss. Why not? Why is Phillip Weiss an "anti-Zionist Jewish American," while Goldberg is just Goldberg? Why isn't he a "Zionist Jewish American, who served in the IDF as a prison guard during the 1st Intifada?" or even a "Zionist Jewish American who writes about the Middle East for The Atlantic?" Why is that missing parallel technique of representation absent?"
Those descriptions are accurate, to my knowledge, and at least some of that certainly would have been helpful for readers in evaluating his comments. I have also heard from the Palestinian-American journalist and activist Ali Abunimah, who was mentioned unfavorably in Mr. Goldberg's quotation. He called Mr. Goldberg's description of him as wanting the destruction of Israel "wildly inflammatory," and also objected to the lack of context. Mr. Abunimah's views on a one-state solution to the conflict are the subject of his 2006 book, "One Country," and may also be found in this article on his Web site.
This response satisfactorily addresses my concerns and I appreciate Sullivan's willingness to engage.

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function. Algorithms are used for calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning. In simple words an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for calculations. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, will proceed through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Algotithm)

"But you're so young!" is a reaction a many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) may hear when they talk about their diagnosis. There is a common misconception that MS is diagnosed older or appear much more disabled. However, most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, smack in the prime of her or his life and career.
MS symptoms may affect a person's ability to work and participate in an educational program more or less depending on the course of their disease. Many people wonder if they can keep working or they quit because of their MS limitations, causing financial stress.
There is a place in the workplace for people with MS and there are options to support you. Shaheen Virani is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor at the MS Center at Swedish. A vocational counselor can help people living with MS navigate their employment options, whether it is to continue working, make a career change or apply for disability.
Vocational services at the MS Center are free and can often be coordinated with other appointments on the same day. A counselor can support people with MS in many ways, including:

Find out which brands are using fashion for a good cause ... in the most stylish way, of course
Fashion sometimes gets a bad rap. After all, the entire industry is about looking good -- comfort, budget, or practicality be damned. So it's refreshing when we find fashion companies that actually care about things other than 6-inch heels or thousand dollar handbags.
Click here to see the fashion brands that give back.
Now, more than ever, designers and brands are showing just how stylish charity can be. Every year "Vogue" hosts Fashion's Night Out, a worldwide shopping event whose goal is to help boost the economy. World-renowned designer Michael Kors recently gave $5 million to a hot meal non-profit based in New York City, and celebrities often design T-shirts whose profits go to AIDS and breast cancer awareness charities. Now that's a reason to celebrate fashion.
And while those efforts are great, they're also a once a year deal. Luckily, there are some fashion companies that contribute 100 percent of the time -- and you're about to meet them. Whether it's a trendy T-shirt made for building self-esteem, or a handmade bracelet that can feed a child in need, there's a little something for everyone.
