ARTS BEAT: Evansville Museum showcases work of artists in residence
Evansville Museum showcases work of artists in residence
A pair of internationally recognized Indianapolis artists share the annual Artist in Residence exhibition opening today in the Evansville Museum, but just one will teach classes associated with the residency.
The show, which will hang through Sept. 14 in the Old Gallery, features paintings by Peg Fierke and Robert Eagerton, former printmakers whose art has grown to embrace new media and technology.
They are friends and colleagues who have both taught at Herron School of Art and Design at Indiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis, and have developed a common approach to making art, which they describe as "a process of
exploration that lets the process, rather than a preconceived end product, shape their imagery."
Eagerton co-founded Transfiguration Press in Sarasota, Fla., one of the first printmaking workshops specializing in hand-drawn lithographs, etchings and fine art photography. Outside the studio, Fierke developed interdisciplinary classes in philosophy and physiology and taught in New York, Europe, British Columbia and Ireland.
Both artists have exhibited their work internationally and their work resides in museum collections around the country.
As part of the residency, Fierke will lead a three-day painting workshop focusing on space, incorporating other elements of design "as the means by which the space is articulated."
She will "discuss and investigate many of the strategies and devices the painter can use to control and manipulate space in a painting," according to the workshop description.
Wednesday, July 24, is the deadline to register for the workshops, which will run July 29 to 30, with morning sessions from 9 a.m. to noon and an evening option from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Fees are $150, with a $25 discount for museum members.

caring chorus
A half-dozen local singers, a local church and members of the community will come together in harmony today, with a free, public concert for an Evansville man struggling to recover physically and financially from a stroke.
Singers Kelsey Miller, Luther Lewis III, David Westfall, David Camp, Jared Hoover and Bill Gulledge and their teacher, Jerry Hoover, will perform two dozen songs from Broadway shows, an opera, and sacred scores at 3 p.m. at Christ Church United Church of Christ.
They'll sing for John Miller, an Evansville commercial photographer and musician who has been unable to work since suffering a stroke in November. The stroke, which nearly took his life, left Miller with impaired vision and difficulty controlling one side of his body, explained his daughter, Kelsey Miller, a singer and actor who will begin her senior year at the University of Evansville in the fall.
Insurance has covered some of the expenses for his treatment, which included 20 days in intensive care, but his family has had to absorb much of the debt, said his daughter.
H&H music, has provided use of a piano, and donations for a raffle and auction include tickets to a December concert by the a cappella group Straight No Chaser and a poster signed by the group.
Admission to today's concert will be free, but audience members may contribute to the Miller family in a freewill offering.
Civic's classes

By Paul Strauss: The casting director has made the necessary choices, and the scene is set. The plot is nothing new, but one of which people never tire........Good vs. Evil. We've seen this dramatic theater umpteen times over the course of history, but can't wait until we see it again. Even the younger generation, who sometimes thrive more on anti-hero's, like the simplicity of this kind of battle..Things are clear cut, black and white, or right and wrong.
Boxing promoters have always tried to create such scenarios, and when they get two likely candidates, they lick their chops, because they know it means a big gate and lots of moolah. Jack Johnson was the perpetual evil one in a white sporting world. Anyone (white) he was matched against was the good guy. The Galveston Giant enjoyed and cultivated it. Tex Richard capitalized on the attempts to classify Jack Dempsey as a "slacker", and Rickard used it when he matched Jack against the handsome french war hero named Georges Carpentier. That resulted in the first million dollar gate. Then the Brown Bomber carried the weight of the free world on his shoulders when he entered the ring against the the Black Uhlan. Max Schmeling was portrayed as one of Hilter's Nazi stooges, and a potential symbol of the superiority of the Aryan race. It only took a little more than two minutes to destroy that scheme. Sonny Liston was a former convict and thug against the shy gentleman named Floyd Patterson. Evil crushed good twice in those matchups. In the eyes of many, Cassius Clay was a draft dodger, and his arrogance and boisterousness and decision to become a muslim pushed many to side against him, even if it meant cheering for the Big Ugly Bear. A majority of the public cast Cassius on the heap with the rest of the evil ones. So, in that situation you had Liston as the lesser of two evils. It wasn't until later that Cassius, who became Ali, would change their minds. More recently we had a convicted rapist and ear biter make it easy to place him on the side of evil. His tremendous destructive power, both in and out of the ring, fascinated the curious public. Now the public views him with a more sympathetic eye as a pathethic charcter, who wasted his talent and fortune. Those matchups are just in the heavyweight division, but the same is true in all weight classes.
In other divisions, we've had plenty of characters, who gladly put on the bad guy robe to make money, and in the case of dirty fighters, win. Fighters like Harry Greb, Fritzie Zivic, Sandy Saddler, Rocky Graziano, Jake LaMotta, Gene Fullmer, Mustapha Hamsho, Prince Nassim Hamed, Roberto Duran, Macho Camacho, and Joel Casamayor to name a few. There are many more, of course, and the reason or reasons they are sometimes placed on the side of evil can vary considerably. For some, it is simply because they are dirty fighters. What Margarito attempted to do took him far beyond simply being dirty. Some fighters do not intentionally try to be dirty, but the result is the same because they are so awkward and uncoordinated. Then some are placed on the negative side, because they want to be there. They like it there. They're like little "Johnnie" in the classroom. The teacher is always reluctant to call upon Johnnie, because she knows the little bastard will make her blush as soon as he opens his mouth. Just like little Johnnie, these fighters use their personalities to purposely get the negative vote. They simply can't help it. Finally, we have the ignoramuses, who delude themselves into thinking they're clever or unique, when the truth is they're just stupid.
As previously mentioned, the portrayal of evil is sometimes done unfairly. Dempsey was not a slacker. Schmeling was not a nazi. Graziano turned out to be a good guy. Ali proved to be a man of strong character, true to his convictions and one who gained a measure of humility. However, when the dye is first cast, a tremendous amount of pressure is placed on the fighter who represents "good". He must win, or all of humanity, or at least those fans of the sport of boxing will suffer irreparable harm. It's not enough that Manny will again be David again Goliath. He will also be Gabriel versus Lucifer, because of what Margarito attempted to do prior to his fight against Mosley.
Now, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., has usurped that title from Margarito. He has done so by once again revealing that he falls into the last category mentioned above. Pure and simple, he is a racist ignoramus, someone so full of evil stupidity that he deceives himself into believing he is just as adroit and mentally quick outside of the ring as in. His new name should be Foulweather. Whereas many tolerated and even admired Ali, because he was slick, sly, wily, and witty. Little Foulweather is more like something accreted to the bottom of our shoes. He's a cretin, a stupid, vulgar, and insensitive person, a clod, and a lout. It was bad enough when he demonstrated extremely poor taste by flashing his wad of dough around, along with his bling bling and luxury cars. That could be dismissed as simply being gaudy, trashy, tawdry, and tacky. Now, he has crossed way over the line with his attempts to gain attention by his pretentious, racist behavior. He has cast a tenebrous, tenebrific, discrimatory gloom over the world of boxing and sports in general. As Robert Preston said in the movie, This Gun For Hire, Floyd should, "Go Milk a Duck!"

The beginning is promissing on my skin despite i tend to appreciate far more some completely different type of fragrances. I'm soon surprised by an extremely sharp, subtle, translucent and sophisticated citrus/dry spices (pepper) accord that is yet incensey and soaked by rosey and woody nuances. This aqueous beginning possesses a typical Penhaligon's stiff vibe, spicy, dusty, conservative and astringent, something projecting an extremely sharp and almost ozonic fruitiness in the air. What happens in a while? On my skin keeps operating for a really short span just a really faint, definitely close to the skin and vague incensey/spicy feel (a la 7 de Loewe but a bit smoother and sweeter) with woody (dominant cedarwood)/rosey accents. The aroma disappears at all in a couple of hours on me. My skin is therefore able to project just a faint woodiness which is sweetly spicy (due the interaction by cloves and cinnamon), incensey and faintly floral. A well crafted concoction for the lovers of the "olfactory translucency" but a too much evanescent experiment for my full pleasure (apart that i would deflect towards the stouter and more mysterious 7 de Loewe at half of the price).

MESA, Ariz. Oct. 20, 2010 In an industry that faces increasing challenges in delivering new drugs to patients, Predictive Biomarker Sciences (PBS-Bio) today announced three new contracts aimed at bringing new medicines to the marketplace.
PBS-Bio said it is helping more companies develop therapies against a variety of cancers. Most new cancer drugs fail in late-stage studies, and it can take as much as $1 billion and more than a decade to bring the drugs to market.
To jump-start drug development, PBS-Bio's analysis helps pharmaceutical companies better understand how their drugs work, and identifies biomarkers that can help predict which patients will respond to treatment.
PBS-Bio's three new pharmaceutical collaborators are:
These three small pharmaceutical companies are in addition to four collaborations in progress between PBS-Bio and four large pharma groups, said Dr. Edward Smith, co-founder and CEO of PBS-Bio, which is a privately held, Mesa-based for-profit corporation.
"We feel that we have reached critical momentum for the growth of PBS-Bio," said Dr. Smith. "The pharmaceutical industry is failing in their efforts to bring new cancer drugs to patients with only two drugs approved in 2009, and only two so far this year. The problems are empty pipelines, and outdated metho

Non-Toxic Green Living Is An Integral Important Part of My Life
Mother Nature Network and Planet Green are really cool green living networks and I'm happy and grateful to be here. Non-toxic healthy green living has been an integral important part of my family's healthy lifestyle for 20 years and continues everyday. For my family, everyday is Earth Day and everything we do, our choices, the way we vote with our wallet, it all contributes to a very small carbon footprint. Earth Day has been a special day for us for many years and we always enjoy celebrating and honoring Mother Earth. We're holistic herbal organic green vegans right down to the baking soda and vinegar we use to do our green laundry. We stopped using commercial detergent 20 years ago and we're very happy and grateful to be chemical fragrance-free. Now, as new parents of a beautiful sweet wonderful adorable 1 year old, green living is vital and we're teaching our little boy to be green, healthy, aware, and wise as well. I have much to share about healthy green living and I will share and write more blog posts as soon as I can.
Peace and Earth and Tree Hugs,

Essay questions
Essay exams are good to use when trying to determine what students know about a few broad topics. Essay exams typically consist of a small number of questions to which the student is expected to demonstrate his/her ability to:
- recall knowledge
- organize this knowledge
- present the knowledge in a logical, integrated answer
Students should be given the criteria used to grade the exams in advance to help them prepare for them.
- Allows students to interpret and integrate their knowledge of course content.
- Easier and less time consuming to create than other question types.
- Provides a more realistic task for the student.
- Allows students to express individuality and creativity in their answers.
- Reduces guessing.
- Requires students to organize their own answers an
- to express them in their own words.
- Can efficiently measure higher order cognitive objectives.
Example question for each cognitive learning level:
|Example question
|Learning level
What are the five sections of a research report?
In one sentence give the point of a written passage.
Given the data available on an issue, take a position and defend it.
Given an argument for the abolition of guns, enumerate the positive and negative points presented.
Construct an original work which incorporates five common materials in sculpture.
Write a short poem in iambic pentameter.
Given two opposing theories, design an experiment to compare them
- Time consuming to score.
- Students may complain about subjectivity in scoring.
- Difficult to measure a large amount of content.
- Generally has low test and scorer reliability.
- Can encourage bluffing.
Tips for writing essay questions:
- Specify the length of the answer desired for each question (e.g., number of words or pages)
- Require all students to answer the same questions.
- Indicate the relative importance of each question (e.g., time to be spent or points assigned).
(Points: 10) 1. In order for an authoritarian government to maintain its….
(Time: 15 minutes) 1. In order for an authoritarian government to maintain its…
- State questions precisely, clearly focusing on the desired answer.
Original: Explain the interval combustion engine? How does it run?
Revised: Explain the interrelationship of the fuel, the mixture of fuel and air in the carburetor, and the piston in the operation of an internal combustion engine.
Suggestions for scoring:
- Test the question yourself by writing an ideal answer to it. Develop your scoring criteria from this answer.
- Use either analytic scoring (point system) or holistic scoring rubrics (an overall score based on a set of criteria).
- Provide students the general scoring criteria by which they will be evaluated prior to the examination.
- Read and evaluate each student's answer to the same question before scoring the next question.
- The student's identity should remain anonymous during scoring.
- Keep scores of previously read questions out of sight.
- Decide on a policy for dealing with incorrect, irrelevant, or illegible responses.
- Write comments about the responses.

Kim Watch
For a second time in four months, the South Korean press stampedes to cover the Dear Leader's unexpected visit to China.
- By Sunny Lee <p> Sunny Lee is a freelance journalist covering North Korea. He grew up in Seoul and graduated from Harvard University and Beijing Foreign Studies University. </p>
On Thursday, two trains quietly arrived at the Jilin railway station in China's northeastern province, bordering North Korea. The first one carried North Korean security guards, who disembarked and checked the safety of the area, including looking for hidden explosives on the railway tracks. Two minutes later, a second train, with opaque windows, arrived. This one, at least according to the South Korean media, carried a special guest: North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.
The Dear Leader stepped off the special bullet-proof train, which is often described in press reports as a "five-star hotel that runs on the railways" — complete with satellite communication equipment, plus a separate bedroom and office. It runs at 150 to 180 kilometers per hour and yet allegedly tracks so smoothly that even cups don't shake.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is believed to be making a secretive visit to China for meetings related to the leader's heir and the nuclear deal. It is not clear whether the heir, Kim's youngest son, is along for the ride.
Both Beijing and Pyongyang have so far kept mum on the visit. But multiple diplomatic sources in China said that they believe Kim is in the country. International media organizations with bureaus in Beijing swiftly dispatched their reporters to the border city.
Kim's China trip came as a surprise. Indeed, he had been thought to be meeting with former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who arrived in North Korea just a day earlier to seek the release of a U.S. citizen held there since January.
Instead, according to South Korean reports, drawing on local eyewitness accounts, Kim paid a visit to a middle school in Jilin, the city that his father, Kim Il Sung, who founded North Korea in 1945, attended for two years. Reportedly riding in an old Mercedes-Benz, Kim also visited a memorial park where Koreans and Chinese together fought against the Japanese decades ago.
The motives for his visit remain murky. Kim last visited China in May and met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao. Making another visit, only three months later, raises eyebrows. "Kim Jong Il just visited China. Why he has to come back again?" Lu Chao, a Chinese expert on North Korea at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, near the North Korean border, told me. Other press reports have suggested that the surprise visit to China is to seek greater economic aid, but Lu doesn't buy it. "For that kind of matter, he doesn't have to come himself."
South Korea's official Yonhap news agency cited an unnamed government official saying the aged dictator is seeking China's endorsement for his heir. But Chung Se-hyun, South Korea's former unification minister, pooh-poohed that notion, which he believes to be too simplistic. "That's nonsense. Although North Korea is economically dependent on China, the nature of their relationship is not like that. North Korea can just notify China about [a change in leadership]," Chung told me.
Absent definitive explanations, the South Korean press is having a field day.
Journalists who descended upon the remote border city of Jilin have yet to film Kim, as they managed to do in May, when he was spotted at a hotel in the Chinese coastal city of Dalian. Yet South Korean reporters have managed to gather accounts of local people seeing him. According to these accounts, Kim stayed Thursday night at the Wusong Hotel, a deluxe hotel 10 kilometers northeast from the downtown Jilin city near the scenic Songhua River. Likely the hotel was not chosen for its scenery, but for its isolated location. Some journalists attempted to enter the hotel, but they were turned away by security guards.
And of course none of this sheds any light on why the aged leader Kim Jong Il, 68, who remains in frail health since recovering from a stroke that paralyzed half of his body and who is reportedly on dialysis three times a week, made the arduous journey once again to China.
But expect more feverish coverage in the days to come, with every available detail of Kim's visit reported with great fanfare. In this sense, with few substantive facts to report, coverage of the Dear Leader's visit resembles more that of a celluloid celebrity than a politician.

LUCAS: Royal and quirky vehicles tickle my fancy
I'll admit I enjoy watching those PBS shows on the British monarchy. The pomp, the ornate palaces, the overdone costumes are nice enough, but I watch for the cars, all big and shiny and, well, regal.
Perhaps, my fascination with big, quirky cars comes from the first one of my parents' that I really remember. It was a 1951 DeSoto, long and black, probably huge by today's standards, with a shiny grill and with all sorts of little gizmos that fascinated a young boy, including a lighted hood ornament depicting the Spanish explorer DeSoto.
In reality, the car may not have been anything special even back then, but it was replaced by a series of Chevrolets and Ramblers, and they just weren't the same.
Today, I drive a Volkswagen and have for years. They're good cars, and my wife and I have collectively put well more than a million miles on the ones we've had. But let's face it, no one is going to mistake you for a head of state while you're driving a Volkswagen. For folks my age, no matter how fancy or expensive the VW may be, it's hard to shake the image that it's anything more than just a Bug in disguise.
So I sit in front of the TV and ogle the queen's Bentley.
You see, I never really wanted a Rolls; I always preferred its sibling, the Bentley.
For most of its life, Bentley Motors was cojoined with Rolls-Royce, and the vehicles were made laboriously by hand at Crewe, England, just like the Rolls. In fact, some models looked quite a bit like a Rolls, and a person could be forgiven for mistaking them for one, but by comparison, the Bentley was more the working man's car — that is if any car that cost in the low six figures could be considered a working man's car.
The Bentley is still made laboriously at Crewe, but in a delicious bit of irony, the company is now owned by Volkswagen AG, which is the world's second largest auto manufacturer, after General Motors.
Just this week, the company unveiled a concept vehicle at the Geneva International Motor Show that is being billed as the world's most expensive sport utility vehicle. Bentley is going to make a SUV!
I don't know how I feel about that. Some how it doesn't seem just right.
But who knows, maybe when another of the PBS special on the royals is produced, we'll be treated to Prince Phillips tooling around over the moors of Balmoral in a spiffy Bentley four-wheel drive rather than that clunky Land Rover.
And since some of the more recent Bentley models have been produced at a Volkswagen plant in Germany, perhaps, my Walter Mitty-style daydream as I drive my Jetta isn't so far off.
By the way, I've been practicing my wave.

Wheat surpasses white in sliced bread sales
Whole wheat beats white bread sales for the first time.
Mon, Aug 02, 2010 at 04:47 PM
BETTER BREAD?: Customers seek out whole grains above price points when buying bread. (Photo: Kevin Lallier/Flickr)
White bread's got a new, hearty competitor in whole wheat, according to the Chicago Tribune. For the first time, whole wheat bread has been outselling America's iconic sandwich-maker. The article says messages about heart health and other dietary benefits have helped consumers choose more nutritious breads.
The article sites data from the Nielsen Company, stating that white bread is "still ahead in volume, but the margin is shrinking." Whole wheat bread outsold white bread by $100 million dollars over the past year.
Additionally, consumers are beginning to ponder health benefits along with cost when choosing bread. The most inexpensive breads have seen steady sales while expensive breads aimed at "niche consumers" have claimed a big market share. Words like "whole grain" and "natural" often come with a higher price tag and have nevertheless become the hottest sellers.
The Tribune goes on to explain that the middle-priced breads are having a hard time with the current bread market, citing several major players who have shown decreasing sales. According to the Tribune, Sara Lee's bread (a mid-priced bread) had previously been "the second-highest grossing bread brand at grocery stores behind ... Pepperidge Farm," but was surpassed by Nature's Own. The story says the Sara Lee Company is planning to launch a whole grain bread and other products to keep up with "evolving trends."
According to the Tribune, American bread consumption is expected to "remain flat," which means bakers will be competing for customers seeking popular whole grain breads. The story describes customers' struggle with labels that have "gotten confusing;" they've come to rely on the visible grains in the bread when making their choices.
As companies fight for brand loyalty among new groups of consumers, marketers have analyzed what drives people to select certain loaves. The perception of wheat breads as "healthy" and a flurry of promotional coupons have encouraged customers to sample new bread brands. An interesting phenomenon is that shoppers don't necessarily care about bread being affordable, according to the story. The story cites Francisco Reduello, a Euromonitor industry analyst, who says, "People are going to continue to buy bread, and some consumers are going to buy for function, with a high added value."

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS corn came in shucks, not in golden cream sauce; fish came with scales, not cornmeal breading; meat was cut to order, not wrapped fat side down in cellophane. The twentieth century, however, has left the harried, carpooling, wait-for-the-repairman wife (or any cook, for that matter) with little time or interest in shucking, scaling or standing in line at the butcher counter. To the rescue have come the food giants—supermarkets with one-stop shopping, check cashing, convenience foods, stamps, coupons and identification cards.
Sometimes, however, modern cooks tire of food that has been flash-frozen, evaporated, concentrated, dehydrated, reconstituted, canned, prepackaged, fortified, freeze dried and preserved. To their rescue we come with suggestions as to where they can—if they're dedicated—get the real McCoy, fresh food. If you think your pocketbook prohibits your shopping for the "real McCoy" consider the pleasure of unpacking a grocery sack without finding your old friends Grapefellow, Count Chocula and the 12 packages of sour raspberry gum which your children extorted or bit through while you waited in line at the supermarket.
For cooks with the time, the rewards of such shopping are great. Here's where to do it. This month we concentrate on Dallas and Houston. Next month we will cover San Antonio.
Catfish Farms.
If your child thinks that all edible fish are spawned by Mrs. Paul, you might consider a trip to one of the catfish farms where he can catch fish in other men's ditches. Actually hatcheries, these farms almost guarantee the youngest fisherman a stringerful. This is the place for the Incompleat Angler: rods, reel and bait are available—as is processing (cleaning)—at nominal fees. If you won't go near the water, you can buy fresh or frozen catfish by the pound. Banbury Fish Farms, Inc. (Danbury, Texas—between Alvin and Angleton—2 miles south of highway 35 on Farm Road 171). No fee to fish. Pay for catch at 75¢ per pound of live weight.
Catfish Acres (Winnie, Texas—between Winnie and Highlands—Farm Road 124, south of Interstate 10). $1.50 fee for anyone over 16 years to fish. Price includes bait and tackle. Catch is 60¢ per pound of live weight.
FFA Auctions (Future Farmers of America). Chicken on the foot, beef on the hoof, lamb on the leg, turkey in the straw as well as rabbits, hogs, and capons are auctioned off each spring by Texas high school FFAer's. Although the prize animals are often bought by philanthropists, the also-rans meet their takers at reasonable prices. Students cut and package the meat for you, usually to your specifications. Check with individual schools for auction dates.
Glatzmaier Fish Market (516 Travis. 223-3331). You would expect to find Glatzmaier's fish in New York City, but it sits atop a three-foot curb on Travis in Houston and looks antediluvian, or at least ante-Gerald Hinesian. It began receiving seafood by rail from Galveston in 1907. Great wooden barrels of fish and seafood are still fixtures in the store. An enormous locker holds run-of-the-gill Gulf seafood (from the deepwater off the South Texas coast) plus turtle, live lobsters, unshucked oysters, frog legs, squid, snapper throats, live crawfish, alligator gar steaks, snapper (15-pounders are not a rarity), carp, buffalo fish, speckled trout, pompano, Spanish mackerel, flounder, soft-shelled crabs, and rabbits. In the frozen food section you'll find crawfish tails, Alaskan snow crab fingers, abalone and eel. If you give Glatzmaier's a little notice, they can provide behemoth catfish for you to cut into steaks, or get practically anything else that wiggles in the water.
Orange Grove Game Birds and Hatchery (4602 Orange Grove Drive, Houston. 442-3407). End your small game hunt by taking home a brace of pheasants, a covey of quail or a dozen doves—live, frozen or freshly dressed. For peasants with pheasant tastes, the Stubbes offer fertile eggs of several varieties and incubators. They also raise Araucana hens that lay eggs for gentlemen with heart conditions. Low in cholesterol, these pastel eggs soothe the heart, but at $4 a dozen may irritate the purse.
Farmer's Market Cooperative (2520 Airline). The Farmer's Market's clientele is composed of three main groups: the restaurant buyers who arrive, dicker and load up before most of us have plugged in the morning coffee pot; the parents of unplanned families who heap the pick-up truck with enough vegetables to fill the freezer for the winter; and the newest group on the produce horizon, the vegetable clubbers—ladies in polyester pantsuits who band together against supermarkets, preservatives and high costs. They buy in bulk and then divide the harvest among six to ten families. To this last group and you rugged individualists who are dying for a crate of cucumbers to "put up," we offer these suggestions:
1. The freshest fare is for the early birds. You won't see any old hands arriving at noon for the left-overs.
2. The lettuce in the crate may be like the pig in the poke. Check to see that bottom layers of boxed fruits and vegetables are not in the last stages of decomposition.
3. Apples, pears, onions, etc. are graded according to size and quality. Thus, the bushel at $3.50 may be a better buy than the one at $2.50.
4. Buy what is in season.
5. Comparison shop.
Prices and quality can vary radically. You'll need a pencil and paper to keep track as you move from stall to stall.
If you are not interested in buying in bulk, try Canina's, an open air conditioned produce shop at the front of the market. You will find a stellar assortment of quality vegetables which includes cactus leaves (nopales) and a wide variety of chilis. Prices are below those in most supermarkets. Froberg's Farm (Old Manvel Road, Alvin. Take Hwy. 35 off the Gulf Freeway from Houston to Alvin; stay on Business 35, take a right on Hwy. 6; go 1 1/4 miles to County Road 149; take a left and then a right on County Road 190; go one-quarter mile to sign on right, "Froberg Farm." This sounds complicated, but isn't. However, it is a 52-mile

Walgreens collecting food for House of Hope
STUART - Walgreens stores in Martin County are conducting a food drive throughout October to benefit House of Hope.
Each of the seven Martin County stores has a food drive bin near the entrance where customers can donate nonperishable food items. Among the food items most needed are canned tomato products, vegetables, fruit and tuna, as well as peanut butter & jelly, rice, pasta, beans and cereal.
The Walgreens drive was organized by registered senior technician Yvonne Nowak, who was at House of Hope recently to learn more about the agency's partnership with the Visiting Nurse Association's mobile clinic.
"I took a tour of House of Hope and saw how sparse the pantry was getting," Nowak said. "We have wonderful customers, and I know they'd be willing to fill the pantry back up."
The seven participating Walgreens stores are as follows:
- Four Stuart locations: 5800 S.E. Federal Hwy.; 3180 S.E. Federal Hwy.; 6545 S. Kanner Hwy.; 2110 S.E. Ocean Blvd.
- Two in Jensen Beach: 1250 N.E. Jensen Beach Blvd.; 4420 N.W. Federal Hwy.
- One in Palm City: 3053 S.W. Martin Downs Blvd.
House of Hope's pantries in Stuart, Hobe Sound, Indiantown and Jensen Beach are the largest providers of food to Martin County residents suffering hunger and hardship. Last year, the agency gave out 179 tons of food – the equivalent of about 280,000 meals.
House of Hope also helps Martin County residents in need by offering clothing, furniture, financial assistance and case management services. For more information about House of Hope, call 772 286-4673 or visit www.hohmartin.org.

Owners manual provided no help. Thankfully, the internet did. Internet convinced me the problem was the igniter, and with hindsight that was correct. 30 mins on the net to troubleshoot. On my model, the oven door must be removed to remove the bottom splash shield. Internet to the rescue to show how to remove the oven door. 10 minutes on the 'net, 30 seconds to remove door. Heat shield came out in about a minute. First machine screw that secures the igniter to mounting bracket out in 45 seconds. Second machine screw stripped in two wrench turns. Since the location of the mounting bracket was a cramped space (in a "well"), had to hand hold a hacksaw blade to cut off the head of the stripped machine screw. With only 3/4" of possible travel, this took 90 minutes. Then drill out the remaining shaft of the stripped fastener. The new igniter went in no problem and I used sheet metal screws to reaffix the unit. From what I've seen on the 'net, cheap fasteners that strip is a common fault on GE appliances.

one MRSA solution
- My brother got MRSA after a surgery. I have to say I did not know much about MRSA and hospital infections before that. It was 10 years ago, it's true that a lot of people do not care enought about hand hygiene, even some doctors, but now things are getting better and better, I work as a nurse in the South of France and we are trained and really well informed about hand hygiene and infection risks, the hospital invested in solutions : disinfectant and also installed new hands free door handles to limit the contamination, and I have to say we now pay more attention to this. Hope all the hospitals and staff will take this factor seriously into account.
- —Guest lilou13
From the other side...
- I worked in a sterile Pharmacy environment and had the quality assurance piece. Our protocol was to alternate detergents, follow with bleach rinse and take samples of our area (logging the results). Many hospitals take shortcuts to cut costs. These methods are not terribly expensive and drastically reduce bacterial/viral/staph infections. Handwashing should be done BEFORE the staff touches you! Make them wash! Ask them to wear gloves for YOUR protection. Masks should NEVER be worn under the nose. All hair should be covered (including facial hair). Gloves should be put on while they are attending you, not before. (Many go from one patient to another with the same gloves - this is for their protection, not yours)Long hair should be tied back'fingernails should be short and clean. These procedures are standard.Don't be afraid to speak up if they don't follow them, and report them to their supervisor if they give you a hard time! Keyword: Incident Report (staff hates 'em!)

Surgery on Ulnar Nerve plus Infection
- I had surgery with an incision encompassing the left elbow to correct an ulnar nerve problem. That was 20 Sept. I am still fighing the infection. I have to say the follow up care from the surgeon and the hospital have been very good, and my next step will be a wound care specialist.
- —Packingpadre
dual responsibility
- I having been a patient and having septicemia after surgery can empathize with everyones story. I also think that we should hold the insurance providers accountable for not approving of day before admissions for surgery so that patients can have the 3 cleansing showers before surgery. Not every individual has the best hygiene and cleaning the area only needed for surgery is not adequate. Lack of enough of staff to care what is happening to a patient is ridiculous. But the same institution use nursing as a cost cutter pay their CEO millions of dollars. He or she is not the one that can look out for your best interest. So maybe an area cut down on cleaning people there goes the foundation of trying to clean an area. Your nurse is assigned to 6 other patients and tries to wash her hands before and after contact slips up one time she has just spread an infection because of work loads that are impossible to do. And then there are the Nursing assistants that are assigned to patients.

- Directly after my back surgery my chin began to leak this clear fluid. I was told not to worry about it. Within hours swelling formed into a golf-ball size with white pustules all over it and it itched. Once again I was told it was just a cold sore. After 3 days I demanded that a culture be taken and an infectious disease doctor was finally sent to me. The cultures revealed I had contracted Grand Positvie Cocci Staph. They tried to tell me that the 'friction' of my chin on their pillow during surgery may have resulted in an 'irritation'. My wife and me are devastated when we read that it is nearly impossible to sue hospitals for this. My entire life has been altered because of this hospitals negligence. All my lab work before surgery came back fine. It enrages me to read of all the limbs and lives this has taken and not one cent of compensation has ever been awarded to the victims or their surviving families. If u or a loved one contracted this, u would have the same attitude.

Five Years of Dealing with MRSA
- I have had it for 5 years, in the beginning I had boils lanced several times. I am colonized in the nose but have taken alot of antibiotics and prednisone for lung problems. The last time I went to ER they gave me 5 days of 40mg. prednisone. The lung got somewhat better but now it is worse, I also have a foul smell in my nose, sweat, urine and everything else. My lungs never came back and I have repeatedly asked for tests but the doctor's think I am crazy. I don't have a fever but how can you get prednisone, break out with boyles every time that were diagnosed as MRSA come out of the hospital with all of these symptoms. Obviously there is something systemic. How can all your body fluids have the same smell as I smell inside of my nose. This is so frustrating. I was told by people outside the health care industry that it can spread to lungs, bladder, and heart and even joints. I don't understand why they won't even address this when it is known to go internal.

- My daughter's father in law passed away about 2 years ago with staff infection. He never made it home from the hospital. My cousin's brother in law passed March 2010 with staff infection. My brother in law passed in March 2010 of staff infection in his blood it shut down all of his organs and he also got c diff. All of these people were healthy before they went into the hospital. None of them made it home. When my brother in law was in icu he was not the only one there with it, about 6 other people had it also. This makes me sick to see what is happening here in Ohio.

Staph infection from surgery
- I went into the hospital to have back surgery. I was having my old haardware taken out and new hardware put in fusing up 2 levels. They were placed against a nerve, 2nd surgery 1 week later. Had severe pain, and was not healing, obvious infection, My surgeon admitted me immediately and I had surgery for the 3dr time in 3 weeks to insert a PICC line and to try and get rid of the infection. I was in the hospital for 1 week on massive medications, Infectious disease was coming in to check on me about 2 x's a day. Blood was taken daily out of my picc line. I went home very very ill. I had to be on a picc line and do IV meds 4 x's a day for 4 months. I was unable to work or even take care of my 3 year old. I was losing weight daily, coudln't eat or drink, had fevers. I have not been able to hold down a FT job since. I take alot of pain medication daily just to survive. So after 3 years I am still affected. It is the most painful thing I have ever been thru. I have no immune system.

- Twice, after 2 different C-section surgeries, I suffered serious staph infections. It was the same hospital, almost 2 years apart, and there were several other patients who had the same experience. Yet I was told that I had caused my own infection. (A nurse confided differently later.) Some patients had to have a second surgery when their incisions would not heal. Instead, my doctor opted to lance my infected incision in his office once or twice weekly--cold turkey. I will never forget those terribly painful experiences. When my daughter had intestinal surgery, the woman who cleaned the floors was sent in later to wash my daughter's hair. I have yet to have a nurse, doctor or any hospital worker wash their hands before touching me. I'm sure most would say they use hand disinfectant, but I don't see that used routinely, either. It does seem that sanitation is often no more than a word in hospitals. But when you're at someone else's mercy it's wise to choose carefully the ear you bend.

India's rupee hits record low against the dollar
popular .
MUMBAI— India's rupee hit a record low of 57.54 against the dollar on Monday, on growing demand for dollars among oil importers, while the greenback was also boosted by upbeat US jobs data.
The partially convertible rupee hit its previous low of 57.32 against the dollar on June 28 last year. On Monday it fell to a new record low before trading up slightly at 57.49 later in the morning.
The fall is the latest blow to the damaged growth story of India, Asia's third-largest economy, which has also been beset by sharply slower growth, worsening public finances and political turmoil.
The rupee depreciated seven percent against the dollar in May, similar to other Asian currencies.
Analysts and traders will now watch for any possible intervention from the central Reserve Bank of India to stem any further weakening of the currency.
The widening of India's current account deficit— the broadest trade measure— to just under five percent of gross domestic product in the last financial year from 4.2 percent the previous year has also weighed on the rupee.
The weaker currency makes imports costlier, especially of foreign oil on which India relies heavily, and will stoke already high consumer inflation.
The RBI has a policy of not commenting on movements in the forex market and has a stated policy of intervening only to curb volatility.

Queen of the Valley Medical Center is tightening its rules regarding tubal ligations -- a permanent form of birth control in which a woman's fallopian tubes are blocked, tied or cut.
Following Catholic doctrine against birth control, the hospital has never performed tubal ligation simply upon request, but allowed the surgery if a woman's physician gave a medical reason, such as asserting that a pregnancy would be a danger to her health, said Sister Marian Schubert, vice president of Mission Integration.
But such circumstances are now considered a form of direct sterilization and against the moral teachings of the Catholic Church, Schubert said.
As a Catholic hospital, Queen of the Valley must follow the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Schubert said. According to those directives, direct sterilization is considered immoral, and such procedures are not permitted for either men or women.
Queen spokeswoman Vanessa deGier declined to say how many tubal ligations the hospital has performed, saying it was "not relevant to the fact that we have clarified our policy regarding sterilization."
…Queen of the Valley will continue to be allowed to perform surgeries that result in indirect sterilization, such as removing cancerous ovaries or fallopian tubes, Schubert said. Another example of indirect sterilization is if a woman is hemorrhaging and the uterus must be removed to stop the bleeding -- the hospital would perform that surgery to save her life, Schubert said.
The decision to review and revise the policy was made internally, within the St. Joseph Health System, to which Queen of the Valley belongs, deGier said…
Hospitals in the St. Joseph Health System serve under different bishops in California. Queen of the Valley serves under the Diocese of Santa Rosa led by Bishop Robert Vasa. Vasa said he was not aware that Queen of the Valley was revising its policy, but commended the hospital for doing so and for being more consistent with Catholic moral teachings.
Vasa previously served as bishop of the Diocese of Baker in Oregon, where he revoked the Catholic status of a hospital in Bend after determining the hospital was providing direct sterilizations…

BERLIN (ICIS)--Chevron Phillips Chemical (CP Chem) is in the final stages of studies regarding expanding alpha olefins production by at least 20% at its Cedar Bayou, Texas, plant, an executive with the US-based company said on Monday.
CP Chem plans to go to its board for an investment decision on the proposal in the first quarter of 2014, said Mitch Eichelberger, general manager of normal alpha olefins and polyalphaolefins for CP Chem.
He made his comments on the sidelines of the 47th annual European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) meeting.
All the required governmental permits have been filed in regard to the expansion and are awaiting approval, Eichelberger said.
If given full approval, CP Chem would like to complete the expansion by mid-2015, he said.
The expansion would increase production for normal alpha olefins such as 1-hexene, butane and much larger molecules, Eichelberger said.
Current production capacity at the plant is 705,000 tonnes/year, according to the ICIS plants and projects database.
CP Chem is already building a new on-purpose 1-hexene plant at the Cedar Bayou complex.
That plant will have a capacity of up to 250,000 tonnes/year, making it the world's largest plant of its kind. The plant should start operations in mid-2014.
Normal alpha olefins are used in the production of polyethylene (PE) but can be used in making plasticizers, detergents, synthetic lubricants and waxes, depending on the size of the size of the olefin molecule.
The EPCA conference runs from 5-9 October.

It seems like it's been a really long time since I've been here. Prior to Christmas I was working on …stuff. You know, getting ready for Christmas. I was also working on Everyday Explorers Australia (EE-A) for SchoolhouseTeachers. Also attempted was the kids' school schedules but for whatever reason, yeah, that didn't really amount to much. I've been working on that the last couple of days. It's going well –when I stay focused!
Right before Christmas, I posted a quick post about Lee completing her first sewing project. It took her a few days to get it all done because she had other commitments but really was quite a quick project. Watching her and helping her some gave me the sewing itch. I haven't sewn an actual patterned project since high school (and then I think my teacher did most of the work!) so I knew I needed something easy.
With somewhat moderate expectations of receiving a gift card to Jo-Ann's Fabric for Christmas (*wink*), I started looking online for what I'd spend my money on. I just so happened to receive a gift card to said store from my sister-in-law for Christmas Here is what I chose (B):
and this for the top (A- short sleeves) –the pattern says see&sew B5480:
It was very tough to find the fabric for my choices! I was at Jo-Ann's for 2 hours. No joke. The lady that helped me was very nice since I apparently knew nothing about sewing lol.
Here are the final results of my sewing projects I'm very proud of them (now I want to lose some weight so my skirt will be smaller next time!). I wear a size *ahem* 12 when I buy clothes off the rack. The pattern size: 16. And that was for the waist measurement. The skirt color on my monitor is fairly close to what I see in real life. The inside is double stitched to prevent too much fraying but I think next time I'll try something else; I just don't like it much. Oh and I don't have a zipper foot so I had to do some hand-stitching at the zipper. Silly me, I didn't bother matching the thread. The fabric is microsuede.
The shirt I chose size medium, which is interestingly what I generally wear for off-the-rack clothing. The color is an off-white, very very light cream color. The closest perhaps for my monitor is the last one. This will definitely be a warmer weather shirt! It is also sheer so I'll wear a tank top under it. I did French seams for the shirt and am very happy with how that looks. The fabric is… uh, oops. I don't remember. Those who sew more or have a fabric inclined nature probably know what it is It flows, and doesn't wrinkle.
And since that is a warm weather shirt, I have to share what other shopping I've done. I got a Target gift card from my father-in-law and found this on sale:
At first I wasn't crazy about the cowl neck (if that is what it's called- and I'm still not crazy about it) but this sweater is so extremely soft that I don't care what kind of neck it has! The color is a lot like the shirt I made. It's a creamy white that has a hint of yellow. The photos make it whiter than it is.
While I was at Target I picked up some smashbook goodies. I'd heard about a smashbook not long ago- it's a bit like a portable scrapbook- perhaps it could even be like a commonplace book but a bit more fancy. Anyway- my other sister-in-law had given me a great fat notebook (with my favorite color) and purple ink pens for Christmas. I loved them right away. The smashbook additions are just making it even better The pen has a glue stick on one end and a .45 point pen on the other. Here's a pinterest search for smashbooks or you can see some for sale here.
I also received Amazon gift cards that I purchased an MP3 player (mine broke shortly after moving here) and two sets of 5 Pyrex glass containers. They should arrive in the next few days.
Yesterday and today I've been finishing up the week's work for EE-A and also the kids' school schedules. I've got Lee's all done, just have to get Fox's independent subjects plugged in. Tomorrow and the next day I have training at H&R Block for 3 hours each.
And that will mark the end of my break! It's been a good month and some, that's for sure

Thomas Second Hearing Day 3, Part 5
The committee heard testimony from Mr. Doggett in support of U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Clarence Thomas in Judge Thomas' reopened… read more
The committee heard testimony from Mr. Doggett in support of U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Clarence Thomas in Judge Thomas' reopened Supreme Court confirmation hearings. The testimony provided by Mr. Doggett was in opposition to the claims by University of Oklahoma Law Professor Anita Hill, who charged Judge Thomas sexually harassed her while both of them were working at the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the early and mid 1980's. Mr. Doggett testified Professor Hill believed, in the early 1980's, that a sexual attraction existed between them when none existed. He provided testimony about a party in Washington in the mid 1980's in which Professor Hill approached him and implied she felt a sexual attraction toward him, when he felt he had shown no reciprocal attraction. The testimony provided evidence for the denigration of the character of Professor Hill, who was characterized as an unstable person. Mr. Doggett responded very angrily to the use by Senator Metzenbaum of unsworn FBI records in questioning him. Chairman Biden Other panel members described occasions in which Professor Hill might have been likely to mention previous sexual harassment to them but did not. close

Clarient Insight(TM) Dx Breast Cancer Profile Represents First Molecular
Test Applicable to All Stages of Operable Breast Cancer
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Clarient, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLRT), a premier technology and services resource for pathologists, oncologists and the pharmaceutical industry, today announced that it will commercialize a novel breast cancer test, the first molecular test available that is applicable to all stages of operable breast cancer, including lymph node-positive patients. The new offering, called Clarient Insight(TM) Dx Breast Cancer Profile, will be sold by Clarient through an exclusive license agreement with Prediction Sciences, a La Jolla, CA-based company that develops high-value molecular diagnostics for disease detection, prognosis and selection of appropriate therapy.
Clarient's Insight Dx Breast Cancer Profile is a series of molecular
assays that, when combined using Prediction Sciences' proprietary
algorithm, offer information designed to help individual patients and their
physicians understand the risk of recurrence and assist them in selecting
the most appropriate therapy. The profile could allow patients to avoid the
toxic effects of unnecessary chemotherapy, thereby reducing the overall
cost of care. The availability of the test through Clarient reflects the
healthcare industry's move toward personalized medicine that helps
physicians understand the unique aspects of a patient's disease in order to
develop more effective treatment plans. Leading oncology organizations have
recommended adopting this type of test since a large percentage of women
who undergo chemotherapy have little chance of benefiting from the toxic
treatment. According to industry analy

From the Publisher"Focal Press, well known for great how to books has 3 new offerings that will make you not just a better photographer, but a great photo editor with PhotoShop. They are part of the "Focus on Fundamentals" line called: Focus on Adobe Photoshop; Focus on Apple Aperture; Focus on Photoshop Elements. All of the books are geared with Mac OS in mind. You can in theory learn a little about the PC versions of Photoshop or Photoshop elements, but Apple Aperture is strictly Mac OS. All of the books are clearly well written with several sidebars that explain points that may be more advanced. The books are written with all user levels in mind, from novice to experienced, but even the more experienced areas are easy to understand. All of the books have prime examples including walking you through all menu options. They show examples of before and after changes were made as well. I was very impressed with the hands on style of writing in the books. Between the pictures, the sidebars and step by step guidance's. They are all very well laid out and the Focal Press does well at explaining all aspects of each software package. The books don't just compliment the manuals that come with each package, they down-right put them to shame and can easily replace them."—Examiner.com
"Corey Hilz and David Asch have both written about the fundamentals for learning Photoshop. Forming part of Focal Press's Focus On series, these two titles make up the latest offerings Focus On Adobe Photoshop and Focus On Photoshop Elements. The first of the two books looks to guide photographers through the steps in Photoshop for getting the best out of shots. Advice and step-by-step tutorials show you how to correctly polish off photos with image corrections and adjustments, before organising them using Adobe Bridge, and is a comprehensive and useful resource."—Photoshop Creative

I have a question - does anyone here "see things?" not like a true hallucination but more like shapes moving in your peripheral? (For example, I was reading a book the other day and i saw soemthing fly past me just above the book on the floor.) I thought it was a rat or something. Sometimes I see people. (Not really people but I think I sense a large someting in the room and see a blob or soemthing. Then I turn to look and its not really there.
I havent been getting help at all for this so I have no idea what this could be.
I also smell things that arent there like perfume, fire, etc. and hear things.
Oh this is interesting territory. Is it mental illness or is your house haunted?! I believe in both.
And I do notice things around here like that but my DH does too and he's not mentally ill.
Yeah lots of discourse going on here!
Meds: For clarification, my long winded post wasn't anti-meds so please if you are on meds DO NOT STOP TAKING THEM! I only shared my story because I got to the end of the med trail and my doctor very worriedly told me "We're really at the end of the road, I don't know what to give you". I shared in case someone else is in that boat, or maybe someone on here is hurting and can't afford a doctor and meds. That was me.
So that is how I ended up where I am now, which is a happy ending story, but I do still sometimes fantasize about having insurance and being able to go to a doctor and address issues with meds- like the ADD I still haven't totally licked it, and I still get depressed and uber hibernatory/procrastinatory.
I also am in the mixed state mania club. I have had a few happy manias or hypo manias. They seem to not necessarily revolve around anything a human would call productive, but we can't all have Martha Stewart symptoms. I feel jipped, but oh well. I know I'm manic because I'm an introvert and when I'm manic I want to be out around people, but I still don't possess the suave skills to jump into a random social circuit so that was always super frustrating. I would just spin my wheels or end up in the hands of male predators. Ug. It might be good though otherwise more damage would have been done.
I do get shopping fetishes when I'm manic where I feel I can buy my way into happiness and perfection. It starts with a purse, which leads to an outfit, which leads to a perfume, a hairdo, shoes, darn it the purse maybe doesn't match enough stuff, another purse, another outfit, booze.....giving people stuff and money I don't have etc. Bad news. It's also a really bad manic habit to get into because once you're not manic the habit of buying when you feel iffy continues. I've stopped (I have no money and no longer use credit thank god!)
Hearing/seeing/smelling stuff I have this, but I think a lot of times it's just an intense sort of memory/trigger thing. I mean I think sometimes my subconscious is doing all that stuff. I've never like seen Jesus, or thought I was the Queen of Sheba, but I've heard scary voices, warning type stuff, or I'll smell someones perfume that is dead, or see something move in my peripheral vision, and when I look it isn't there, but I did truly see it. Maybe this is a 5th sense? Or maybe I'm just making myself into something fancy, when I'm really just mental. I'm fine with it either way. The fanciful interpretation is nicer though.
And Lamictal worked excellent for me, but I got the damned rash.
Right now my biggest worry is the brain damage that bipolar does. (Has anyone else seen these scientific articles about that?) It makes me sad, and I'm experiencing it and know it is the truth. I wish it was reversible.
And sunshine and exercise do work abundantly well, espcially for the downers. When your manic exercise can burn off some of the nervous energy, but sometimes it just exacerbates it. I was a fitness ninja when I was manic.
Well keep talking, I love that we aren't alone here, it's pretty amazing to read myself in so many other people.
I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night, and I was just wondering what a normal mom would be able to accomplish on a day like today with 3 kids, who wasnt depressed?
So far I have been online allmorning or laying on the couchunable to move. I have let my kids trash the house all day.
I am just too freaking tired to function.
Everyone has been fed, and diapers changes. My ds has been hanging in the bathtub for about 30 min.
What would I be able to do if not depressed?
I want to have realistic expectations when I start treatment.
yes!!! I wrote a blog entry about that. i totally agree. its so frustrating.
as far as meds go, i get samples from my pdoc for topamax, since its crazy expensive, and im also on buspar and zoloft, which are both $4 at walmart. i also take klonopin which is fairly cheap (like $20ish, i think?) as needed. i don't have to take it very often when my other meds are correct though. ive heard lithium works really great and is really cheap, but im nursing so i cant take it. depakote is nursing safe and super cheap though. i was going to try that next if topamax didnt work.
omg i can sooo relate. i recently became born again-Again. i think it was to appease my ex fiance (father to my son). i don't know what to believe. i never have...i just want to belong...somewhere...to someone...i'm all messed up. i just lost my job...i could take my kids there and now i'm broke and w/out work. i feel like a failure. i feel discriminated upon. i can't help the way i am. i am at a low. i love reading how you mamas feel/live cuz i too feel like i can't even get the simplest things done...like other 'normie' moms can. it amazes me how much they can do in one day...or hour.
maybe i should start a new thread about bfing and bipolar...don't want to hijack but i saw this one post about nursing and meds for bipolar so i figured i'd chime in...i'm feeling sooo scared and alone! but oh i'm sooo glad i found you mamas!! i desperately need to be on something else. i have tried so many antidepressants over the years and to no avail, i still struggle and suffer from rapid cycling bp and bpd. its just awful. its affecting my life greatly in so many ways and in so many of my relationships...i don't want to live this way anymore...nor do i want my 6 yo dd to either. she must be so confused by my actions. i'm so sad.
so tell me mamas...which mood stabilizer type of meds are safe for bfing?! i want to keep bfing my son who is one year old now. i don't want to wean him if i can help it. it makes me so sad...b ut i need help. so tell me what meds are safer than others. the one i've been on recently is zoloft. blah. doesn't help me. i still rage. i still get set off too easily and get so mad. i still get so tired and so depressed. i'm in a funk. i have tried lexapro. blah. makes me too apathetic. still got depressed and was impulsive. please forgive my ramblings....... my poor dd...she must feel so unloved and confused about me as her mama...i've tried to explain to her when i go off on a tangeant that its my brain not working right...but it still hurts her when i yell and throw a fit and yes, i've spanked her. which is sooo not what i even believe in. i feel like an awful mother. sometimes i think i should find another home for her. but i know that'd hurt her worse off...i need help. i need better medication and therapy for this. i have had dr's say yes, you are definitely bipolar. then others sending me off as i gallop off into whatever sunset i just conjured up for them saying ah, you are fine...you can do it! they are such fools...don't know what they are dealing with for sure!
so which ones ARE safer than say, lithium, for nursing? thank you mamas.
well, after being diagnosed for the fourth time by four different doctor's, I have recently come to admit that I am bipolar. I am on lamictal and doing well. It's funny because Dr.'s always ask if I have racing thoughts. I always said no. Now, being on Lamictal, I realize that I have always had racing thoughts, I just didn't know it. I thought is was normal. I feel like I have a long row to hoe. I have spent my family into over 100,000 dollars of debt. I have gained weight, and jeapordized my job on occasion. I am so tired of being different. I feel like if I have to have this, couldn't I just be manic all the time? At least then I felt better and got stuff done instead of bemoaning the fact that I don't do anything. Can you tell I miss the mania?
i was reading an article online about a woman whose mother is bipolar and schizo. it made me sad-and scared, for my dc and i...i could relate to the mom and the woman (dd/
ie. how the mother favored the younger child, the son, and how she'd fly off the handle at her dd...it was like dd could do nothing right...it was like the mothers rage and insecurity got taken out on the dd...i find myself doing this w/ my dd. i think my bipolar is getting worse or i'm in a major major funk this last year. i am scared. i don't want my kids taken from me. i love them...i know i do. but sometimes i feel utterly apathetic when it comes to my dd. its so strange...i can't explain it except its a brain thing. it isn't me. i am so sad because i know in my heart of hearts i adore my dd...i hate how i've treated her at times...
i called my ex fiance (my sons father) a loser the other day as we instant messaged. he wants me back and wants our 'family' back together...yet he isn't willing to move here to my state and wants to stay in his comfort zone imho, of a 10 mile radius he's never left. i think he's scared. he says he doesn't like it here. well then why are thousands of people every year moving here...its beautiful. i think he's just scared. it just makes me infuriated because i deserve to be adored and he should prove himself to the kids and i as the godly man he claims he is now...
i could go on and on. the mood swings are utterly controlling me and my dc's lives...i'm scared my dr. won't know about meds. one dr. tried to put me on wellbutrin xr (or is it xl?) and i didn't do it...i was too scared to while nursing. so i went w/ the zoloft. not helping... i rapid cycle and i get very depressed. i don't get too manic...at least not real high. i have my moments that last maybe a few hours at most but they are few and far between.
well my son is crying, he is sick as am i so i better go lay us down again...
really??? DEPAKOTE is safe while nursing? is it safer than lamictal? god i need help. i spanked my dd last night and i swear i feel like a rageful monster...like someone else. when really...normally (what is normal anyway) i would not even think to hurt her that way. i've said some horrible things to her the past year too. i'm afraid what to tell my dr. and what not to for fear of losing my dd but sometimes i think maybe having a mom whose bipolar is worse for my kids...this is just awful. not to mention i'm alone. i can't do this on my own. i have been beggin my mother to help me out and live w/ us cuz i just can't do this alone. my dd is hurting i can tell...and the guilt is just killing me. i don't believe in spanking. but i have spanked her because time outs, consequences don't seem to work. the spanking just makes her heart ache and she acts out/tests me more due to that. its a vicious cycle. i think she is going to grow up and hate me. she is now 6. this pains me. i love this girl yet i'm someone else when i'm angry. god i hope the dr. puts me on...something. i'm so scared this will hurt my son while nursing if i go on a mood stabilizer. so scared of not going on mood stabilizer. don't want to hurt ds in the long run w/ any med...yet don't want to hurt my dd anymore not being on them. please help. i need advice by my appt tomorrow. what are the ratings on depakote, lamictal...etc. and what if depakote makes me even FATTER. i remember it giving me cankles back in like '98. i don't remember it helping me. i took it briefly...
sigh. i'm freaking out. i need mood stability. stupid docs.:STUPID!!!!!! you can see that most have NO CLUE how to treat rapid cyclers/moody women. here take some lexapro. makes me apathetic. here, you are fine...go off and chase those dreams...yeah, you are ok...pfff. yeah right. don't they know anything. don't they know us mamas are terrified of losing our kids if we disclose it all. don't they know anything about BPD and how we feel better sitting in therapy and feel better about ourselves while in there?! crazy docs...they don't seem to know much. all i know is at this point i'm willing to go on a mood stabilizer but i don't want it to harm my son. i've read things about lexapro being bad for pregnancy and nursing babies but i've been on that w/ my dd and with my ds and there is no problems i can see. they are actually happy beautiful healthy babies!
sorry.rambling. just so upset and i'm at my wits end. seems there is a lack of help for moms like me...single, jobless (now), lacking help w/ the kids...not willing to be w/out my son while i work... i am just pretty much f*cked as it seems/feels. my last job allowed me to be w/ my ds/dd. now i feel so limited and pissed off about that fact. i don't even know if i will get unemployment. i'm sick and don't feel like checking my mail. uh oh my son is pulling out babywipes from the baby wipe thing. yikes! ah gotta love it though...
another thing i must add is that since my ds was born, i have become quite apathetic towards my dd whom i ADORE...disassociative/detachment disorder??? emotional numbing...its so weird. its just awful. well i must go for now. i look forward to hear from some of you soon.
I have always had racing thoughts, I just didn't know it. I thought is was normal.
Ruth, mum to B (9), P (8) and T (5)

Each month, my office receives thousands of phone calls, letters, e-mails, and even Facebook messages from folks across the Sixth District. Many have questions about current issues before Congress. Here are a few of the inquiries I have received in recent weeks:
By Congressman Robert Hurt
It's been nearly 80 years since Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned to London after negotiations with Adolph Hitler over the Sudetenland portion of Czechoslovakia. Prime Minister Chamberlain returned, waving a copy of the now infamous Munich Agreement which turned the Sudetenland over to Germany. Hitler, in turn, agreed to make no further territorial claims on Czechoslovakia. Prime Minister Chamberlain, who had made a major concession to Hitler, claimed "There will be peace for our time."
Conservative Republicans had a tough time last week, struggling to defend discrimination in the name of religion in Indiana, and then reaching deep into their playbook of hostility to condemn the president's historic deal with Iran.
When people start talking about "restoring religious freedom," you know they're up to something no good. That's because religious freedom has clearly not been lost in America, so it does not need to be "restored."
By Robert & Ellen Ashwell
The ruckus raised about the outdated average teacher salary comparison presented by the Bedford County Education Association to the Board of Supervisors on February 23, is an example of much being said about very little. Supervisors Sharp and Parker suggest that the outdated information gives people the wrong impression about what Bedford County teachers are paid. They use updated information, which they purport to be proof. Moral indignation is evident in their comments.
The Internet is one of the most dynamic and competitive marketplaces in existence. It has become a cornerstone of the American economy and culture. Because of this, concerns about the future of an open and fair Internet, coined as "net neutrality," have come to light. Net neutrality may seem like a complex issue, but at the core the question is simple. Do you want more or less choice? Do you want more regulation governing the Internet? Overall, we have achieved open access to the Internet through free enterprise and competition.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
