Brought to you by
Last night, or rather early this morning, my daughter woke up screaming at 5 AM. This isn't the first time this has happened. I am at a loss for what to do.
When these episodes occur, she wakes up screaming and nothing can reach her. I don't think she knows I am there. She cant communicate in any way. Sometimes she repeats a phrase or sound over and over. She shakes and trembles and nothing can calm her body. Sometimes it gets to the point where she vomits. Last night she covered her eyes with one hand and her ears with the other hand and a pillow.
I turned off all of the lights and nightlights, I piled all of her blankets on top of her, rubbed her arms and sang, talked to her, anything to let her know I was there.
When she comes out of it, she is always very shaky and seems to have low blood sugar, so I give her a cup of juice. She doesn't know what just happened. Last night she looked at me, said "hi mommy" like she was surprised to see me, then drank her juice and fell back asleep. The entire episode, from the moment her screaming woke me to me climbing back in bed, took about 45 minutes. That seems average for one of the episodes, but I've experienced nights when it lasts for over 2 hours.
Has anyone had any experiences like this? How should I handle it? Our life is still in turmoil right now (a big thank you to the army) and I am trying to get her in to see doctors. I wish I knew better how to help her.
How old is your daughter? Do the episodes occur at the same time each night? This sounds like night terrors if she is the right age.
She is 2.5. We've experienced night terrors with her before, but this is different. It's never at the same time, and I've seen her experience these during the day, but it's not as common. She does suffer from a seizure disorder, but I wouldn't classify these the same way I would her seizures.
And I'm up again. 3-4:30. It's 85 degrees out and she is freezing cold. Crying, shaking, the whole nine yards. I just don't know what to do.
Call your family physician It may be a different kind of seizure than what your used to. Also I'm concerned that you said you feel like her sugar is lo that can cause a confused state and some agitation Is she diabetic? Would probably be a good idea to have be drawn
I wish we had a family physician, We just moved to a new city for the next 2 months. I wanted to be near family when the baby is born (in 4 weeks), and when Dh returns we will be PCSing again. When I called to get her in to see a pediatrician yesterday, they told me the next available appointment isn't until October.
She has shown signs of being hypoglycemic before, When I find the box with my glucometer in it, I will start checking her sugars.
I am so sorry you are having Togo through this. It is scary and draining and the last thing you need on the middle of the night.
I would definitely try to have her see a doc when you can but until then, it sounds like you are doing a great job mama! Even if it feels like you are failing. I know that feeling:( the only other thing I can suggest is to pray. I don't know whether you are a Christian, but I found that when I covered the room in prayer and invited the Holy Spirit to fill every inch of the room, there came a peace to my sons room. And I stayed calmer too. I would try to do this before an episode-- maybe before bedtime with your daughter.
This made all the difference to our situation. Will pray for you! Stay strong and remember that this will pass. It did for us and it I'd for my sister inlaw who has a nonverbal daughter. Hang in there:)
My son went through this phase he just recently grew out of it ( now 6 yrs ) he would wake up crying and screaming and shaking. I would hold him and talk to him and rub his back arms legs but he didn't seem to know I was there then would randomly stop and go back to sleep. I know it's tough but stay strong momma!
I know this thread is a bit old, but how are things?
I was wondering about her sleep. Would it be possible to have a sleep study done? When the new baby comes do you have help?
I've started taking her to a chiropractor again, which has helped her sleep a lot! She also has AS, so I know that the back pain really gets to her sometimes. I've started monitoring her blood sugar at home, since I still can't get her in to a doctor. There are some concerning swings, some extreme highs and lows. I'm making sure to record everything for when she does see a doctor. I've also started getting really strict with her diet again. Since we've been visiting my parents she's had a lot of sugar and thing s I usually don't let her eat, so we are back to more fruits and veggies again. Thanks for your concern and advice everyone!

I had heard a lot of good press about this movie, When Will I Be Loved, the (so-called) breakout movie for dancer-turned-actress and Party of Five alum Neve Campbell. Now after viewing only a portion of the film I have to wonder where their ardor for this rambling, plot-envious film finds its center.
Written and directed by James Toback When Will I Be Lovedcenters (I think) around Vera portrayed by Campbell (The Craft, Scream, Wild Things) and her boyfriend Fred portrayed by Ford Welles; the former is a rich college girl, while the latter is the consummate hustler. The former is trying to win an internship with one Professor Hassan Al-Ibrahim Ben Rabinowitz, portrayed ineptly by James Toback who teaches a course in West African studies or some such thing. It is never clear why Vera wants to work for this man, but they spend a full twenty minutes or so walking the streets engaged in inane dialog discussing the matter. And during these negotiations Vera finds time to give her number to a number of young men and then lies to the Professor about her intentions.
Meanwhile Fred is trying to farm out three blondes whom he has had sex with in the park, to Damon Dash, playing himself, as dancers / rappers(?). When that fails, the movie jumps where Fred is pimping out his girlfriend to an Italian telecommunication mogul who goes by the name of Count Tommaso Lupo portrayed by Dominic Chianese of The Sopranos. The Count is willing to pay Vera $100,000 to spend time with him, and of course Fred expects that the money will flow to him, since Vera is rich and all, and doesnt really need the money. Of course she agrees and a story of revenge ensues.
Much was made of the Neve Campbells nude scenes at the beginning and end of the film as she leisurely showers and does magical things with a shower massager. Since I find no apt metaphor to assign the scenes that fit the movies premise, I can only surmise that the nudity was inserted to draw young males to the hackneyed film that tries very hard to be cutting edge, but in the end fails miserably. Neve Campbells performance, while somewhat engaging at time, was not enough to save this film from itself. Clearly the first two-thirds of the movie were absolutely meaningless, and endlessly boring and unfocused. I walked away thing the only reason Professor Hassan Al-Ibrahim Ben Rabinowitz mad an appearance was to give the director (and I use the term loosely) an opportunity to get his mug on film.
One last thought or question if you will: what does the title of the film, When Will I Be Loved have to do with this movie? Vera spend a considerable amount of time engaged in, casual sex, or trying to hook up, so its does not appear to me as though she is searching for love.
Do yourself a favor, When Will I Be Loved, it is not even fit for a rainy Saturday afternoon.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Agora: From Democracy to the Market
04 Nov 2003 00:59 GMT
The US Episcopal Church consecrated Gene Robinson, 56, at the weekend, overriding objections from dissenting clergy and laying bare deep divisions among the Anglican faith's 70 million adherents worldwide.
Head of the Kenyan Anglican Church, Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi said they would sever ties with not only Robinson, but all bishops involved in his consecration.
"For us they will not be looked upon as we have been doing, as our fellow Anglicans. It means that our understanding of the bible is different from them. We are two different churches," he said.
Nzimbi said cutting ties mean the Kenyan Anglican church would not accept any support from the US church, including missionaries.
Another spokesman for the Kenyan establishment said: "We are not going to support homosexuality in the church, primarily because it is a sin."
Eldoret Diocese Bishop Thomas Kogo said the decision had already been made, that Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams – the worldwide head of the Anglican church – had been informed and that the move would be formalised at a meeting of Kenyan Anglican bishops in two weeks.
Homosexual crimes
Homosexual acts are crimes in Kenya and Uganda.
Spokesman for the Anglican Church of Uganda, Reverend Jackson Turyagenda said: "We have already made a resolution that the church will break fellowship with any diocese that takes steps to consecrate a gay clergy (member) or blesses marriages of gays or lesbians."
"We are not the ones breaking ties with the Diocese of New Hampshire, it is the one that has opted out of the fellowship," he added.
The spokesman said there was no chance of a split within Uganda's Anglican church because none of its members advocated homosexuality or lesbianism.
Nigerian response
"We deplore the act of those bishops who have taken part in the consecration which has now divided the Church"Most Rev Peter AkinolaHead, Nigerian Anglican ChurchThe head of the Nigerian Anglican Church said it was appalled by the consecration, but stopped short of breaking all ties.
"We deplore the act of those bishops who have taken part in the consecration which has now divided the Church"Most Rev Peter AkinolaHead, Nigerian Anglican Church
"We deplore the act of those bishops who have taken part in the consecration which has now divided the Church", Most Reverend Peter Akinola said in a statement issued on behalf of the Primates of the Global South.
The Anglican Church in Nigeria says it has a membership of 15 million, making it the world's second-largest Anglican community after Britain, which has 26 million nominal members.
Three-hour ceremony
About 4000 people, including 55 US Episcopalian bishops, attended the three-hour ceremony on Sunday afternoon amid tight security at a sports arena in the small New Hampshire university town of Durham.
Most were supporters of Robinson, a divorced father of two, who becomes the first bishop of a major Christian denomination to openly live with a same-sex partner.
In the run-up to the ceremony, many bishops heading Anglican churches in parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America announced that a gay bishop would not be recognised in their churches and would prompt them to break ties with their American affiliate.

Wanstead-based singer-songwriter releases single
Written by the editor Sunday, 02 December 2012
Wanstead singer and songwriter Liza Finn, whose voice has been likened to that of Eva Cassidy and The Carpenters, released her first single Home – 'a story of a journey of self-discovery' – last month, along with an accompanying video shot on location in Waterloo, Rye and Dungeness.
When asked about her own home in Wanstead, Liza said: "Wanstead is a quintessential London village. Its active community, green open spaces and variety of independent businesses make it a good home for people of all ages and situations: families, young professionals, working adults and the retired. This is very much reflected in the restaurants, bars and shops, which offer something for everyone."
"I knew I wanted to rent the flat I now live in because it's close to the High Street yet the street is still very quiet. The houses are beautiful and all different in their own ways. My flat has high ceilings, large windows and lots of natural sunlight, which I need to write. My music room looks out onto the street, where I sometimes sit for hours just watching people going about their daily business. There's a calmness about the village, a serenity: just the type of environment I need to be creative. I've lived all over London but I've never felt so at home before. Wanstead has a timeless quality about it and I can see myself being very happy here for many years to come."

The Official STAR TREK Grading & Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

... now I'm left with a Star Trek universe in which my beloved spin-off either won't happen or will be so different that I may wish it hadn't.
This perspective always mystifies me. I've heard it a lot recently since I'm a Spider-Man fan too and there was just a big continuity change in that universe too.
You're talking OMD/BND? That got me to drop Spider-Man like a hot rock.
Star Trek episodes are just stories -- they were always fictional, they never really happened at all. Now, Nero's time travel erased some of the events of TNG in the FICTIONAL universe, but it's not as if the reruns and DVDs are going to disappear into thin air. You can still watch them an enjoy them just like you did before.
I'm not trying to belittle your feelings. I can see you feel bad about this. I just don't understand why it seem so hard to like the new Star Trek universe and keep loving the old one too. Why does it have to be an either-or choice?
Well, here's the thing. Sure, in story terms, the original Trek universe (with all its old stories) "still exists." But the prospect of ever seeing any
stories set in that reality, at least on screen, has now been reduced to essentially nil. Sure, there can still be novels and comics, at least in theory... but the film production dollars will go to this "alternate reality." And the more popular it becomes, the less likely we'll see even the spin-off material set in the original reality. So to a very real extent, this version of Trek succeeds only at the expense of the original.
Ethros wrote:
Well again as I said yesterday, the time travel element isn't the main reason I didn't enjoy it. The main reason is I myself just found it boring. Scenes that were meant to be action packed and exciting simply didn't work for me. I wasn't invested in the characters and the plot became far too predictable and by the numbers.
Yeah, that sums it up pretty well. Anyone familiar with action-film formula could see how this movie was going through the paces.

J.J. Abrams Raped Star Trek. Seriously, he took the series and had his way with it.
I think it was consensual.
Sad, but true. Ultimately, Star Trek is what the franchise's owners say it is, and they cheerfully consented to Abrams remaking it in his image. That's showbiz for you, emphasis on the "biz." All that really says, though, is that the owners value Trek for very different reasons than the fans do.
Dark Journey wrote:
Considering how deeply we have gotten into some very long, divisive, and often convoluted arguments about alternate timelines, parallel universes, canon, and continuity can't that in itself be proof that Orci, Kurtzman, and Abrams failed to create a really coherent motion picture that succeeded in presenting its story and its internal logic well? Once again I think this points out that the use of time travel as a plot device in Sci-Fi has really come to a dead end.
Not at alltime travel can still make for some great, fascinating, thought-provoking SF. It may well be at a dead end in terms of
, though.

Last night someone asked what was the message of this film. I think it was on another thread. I could not come up with one right away. But after sleeping on it, I think they were trying to say major elements of the universe will unfold in a specific way. Meaning there is such a thing as a destiny...
The other message I think they tried to convey was, circumstances do not dictate your fate. He was a troubled kid and had no direction. Pike challenged him and he chose to better himself.
Well, that seems a little inconsistent. The first theme is simply awful, downright dispiriting. The second one is a lot closer to Trek's humanistic core, though. Philosophically, they all but cancel each other out.
Tai wrote:
I feel silly. J.J Abrams pointedly said, "Purists, stay home." It was sound advice and I should have listened. But I told myself, "Tai, you're not a purist. Sure, canon and Star Trek lore is important, but if it means revitalizing the franchise, ensuring that Star Trek endures and bringing in a whole new fanbase... then it's alright to let some things slide."
I think this movie will make enough money to put a sequel into production. I think general audiences will embrace it as a fun summer sci-fi flick. I just don't think I can get on board. Not with this creative team.
The cast was wonderful. ...
The movie was awful because of the story.
Hear, hear. I couldn't have put it better myself.
Many of the plot flaws, shortcuts, and implausibilities you describe were the very same ones that prevented me from enjoying the story. (And I didn't get away with just $10.25 per ticket... I paid $17 to see the damn thing in IMAX.
What I don't get is, why was Spock late to stop the supernova? And what difference would it have made if the "red matter" stopped the shockwave or not? What exactly would the planet Romulus have done anyway WITHOUT A STAR TO ORBIT? Of all the ships in the vast Romulan Star Armada there to witness the death of their civilization it was a bunch of terrorists (why were they terrorists in the first place?) on a mining ship that just happened to be on hand to pick up the failed ambassador, piloting their only hope? The whole sequence was just painfully bad.
Some of that (not all) was rationalized away in the prequel comic book
. (Which doesn't help an uninitiated viewer of the movie, of course.) In particular, the star that exploded wasn't actually the Romulan home star, but another onethe explosion of which somehow grew in strength as it expanded and "threatened the whole galaxy." (Yes, that's so scientifically illiterate it beggars description, but that's how they set it up. If they wanted a star-system-level threat that propagated faster than light speed, a little imaginative SFnal thinking could have devised oneDiane Duane did it to great effect in her Rihannsu novelsbut instead they took a cheap shortcut.)
Look, I'm not a purist. What I am though, is a fan of Star Trek. And as best I can tell the only thing this movie added to "Star Trek" was a rehash of the Nemesis plot and the creation of an alternate reality Enterprise crew where
the only major differences are an uglier ship and the utter annihilation of the planet Vulcan
... which in terms of the advancement of Star Trek lore, feels like a giant
Fuck you
T'Bonz wrote:
What I don't get, is that Nero could have used his time and energy to destroy the STAR that fucked up Romulus.
So why did he go after Vulcan and Earth? He could have taken care of the star and theoretically, his wife and race would still be alive. No revenge needed, with his wife and race alive, he would have had no reason for it.
Yeah, but if he actually stopped to think things through then he wouldn't be a scenery-chewing Villain, and the story (allegedly) needed one of those.
Of course, the heroes weren't much brighter. It's a classic "idiot plot"it only does what the writers need if the characters act like idiots.

The script was clever and entertaining. Pleasing purists is what made the franchise unbearable by the Bakula years anyway. I think they did a great job giving us fanboys something to hold on to while giving it a mass appeal. I, for one, want as many people as possible to enjoy Star Trek because that means sequels and more TV shows.
If "mass appeal" means more sequels in the spirit of this movie, I don't see how that leaves anything worth holding on to for fans.

Activist David Mixner stood alone on a theater stage in Los Angeles at the start of this year's Gay Pride Month, sharing his memories with an audience of friends, political figures and a smattering of celebrities, about the time Ronald Reagan saw the light.
It was 1978, and aides to Reagan, who was on the cusp of launching his presidential campaign, believed he was ready to endorse a California initiative to ban gays and lesbians from teaching in the state's classrooms, a ballot proposition inspired by the anti-gay crusades of singer Anita Bryant.
Mixner remembered when he and fellow activist Peter Scott landed a secret meeting with Reagan, who was exceedingly charming and willing to listen. Mixner warned the soon-to-be candidate that the initiative would create anarchy: Students could retaliate for a bad grade by accusing their teachers of being gay.
Reagan didn't immediately reveal what he was going to do, »

Over the past few years, many iconic TV comedies have come to an end, leaving fans desperately searching for something new to fill the void. Original greats like 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Recreation, How I Met Your Mother and Futurama all went off the air within a few years of each other, while so many new sitcoms struggled to live up to that high standard as replacements, many cancelled before we even got to know them at all.
Let's face it, Selfie and Animal Practice aren't about to become your new addiction. Nobody is going to remember S*it My Dad Says with William Shatner as anything more than a complete and utter waste of time. And how Melissa and Joey managed to make over 100 episodes before viewers were put out of their misery, we'll never know.

The Barrow Group and the Theatre Communications Group are teaming up to bring acting coach and theater educator Seth Barrish and actor-comedian Mike Birbiglia together for their In Conversation series in New York City. Barrish will be giving acting tips, as well as speaking about his book, "The Actors Companion." Released through Tcg, the companion includes a foreword from Anne Hathaway and positive commentary from actors like Sakina Jaffrey, Birbiglia, and Alison Wright ("How I Met Your Mother"). The book is designed to "encourage spontaneity; foster entertaining, human, and compelling behavior; help you to become more sensitive, imaginative, responsive, and alive onstage; change your work effortlessly and invisibly (so the audience won't detect any effort on your part and therefore will feel like they are watching a real person rather than an actor 'working')," according to the Barrow Group website.

For the last half a century or so, Americans have been on a seemingly never-ending quest for physical perfection. This has manifested itself in the proliferation of cosmetic surgeons, health food stores, diet books and programs, and the wide spread, often popping up overnight, health clubs (Aka spa, the gym, the fitness center, etc…). So, naturally these places would become a movie location, in comedies (in the 63′ classic original The Nutty Professor, Jerry Lewis causes havoc at a "Vic Tanny Gym") to documentaries (the Pumping Iron flicks). Then there's those hybrid comedy/drama/romances like the John Travolta 1984 vehicle Perfect and the Robert Altman ensemble called, simply, Health. Now, in this new low-budget "indie" flick, three unlikely (and often unloveable) characters come together when one of them heads into a health club (sounds like an old joke set-up, "A guy walks into a spa…"), hoping, needing ,to achieve eventually, »

Bill Fagerbakke is set to reprise his role as Dauber Dybinski in NBC's "Coach" sequel series, Variety has learned.
Fagerbakke joins original star Craig T. Nelson in the TV revival, which is slated to debut midseason.
Michael "Dauber" Dybinski was an assistant coach, along with Jerry Van Dyke, who played Luther Van Dam. Dybinski was a stereotypical dumb jock who never graduated from Minnesota State, where he was an athlete. Despite being known as a silly sidekick, the character would often lend valued help to the team.
Since "Coach," Fagerbakke has found success behind the screen as the voice of Patrick on Nickelodeon's long-running "SpongeBob SquarePants." He also appeared in "How I Met Your Mother" and "Growing Up Fisher."

The film will focus on the confirmation hearings and the effect they had on Hill and the country at large. In addition to Washington, the film stars "How I Met Your Mother" alum and "Avengers" star Cobie Smulders as Harriet Grant and "The Wire" star Wendell Pierce as Clarence Thomas. »

Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, the creators of "How I Met Your Mother," have inked an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television, Variety has confirmed.
Under the new three-year pact, the pair will develop and produce new projects for the studio through their Bays/Thomas Productions banner. First reported by Deadline, the hefty multimillion-dollar development deal, which is reportedly worth up to eight figures, is the result of a big bidding war between five studios.
Bays and Thomas will also move their production company to New York, after spending over a decade on the West Coast, as the Los Angeles-shot "Himym" spanned nine seasons on CBS. The duo will hire a new exec and will work on projects with writers both in NYC and La.
Both are repped by UTA.

Remove infected leaves from roses. Pick up fallen leaves. Continue fungicidal sprays as needed.
While spraying roses with fungicides, mix extra and spray hardy phlox to prevent powdery mildew.
Perennials that have finished blooming should be deadheaded. Cut back the foliage some to encourage tidier appearance.
Blossom-end rot of tomato and peppers occurs when soil moisture is uneven. Water when soils begin to dry; maintain a 2-3 inch layer of mulch.
Mid-month apply second spray to trunks of peach trees for peach borers.
Mid-month for the fall garden, sow seeds of collards, kale, sweet corn and summer squash as earlier crops are harvested.

Louisiana government gets "B" grade for overall service to public
Published: Sunday, March 2, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 3, 2008 at 7:10 p.m.
A nonprofit group has given Louisiana government a "B" grade for its overall effectiveness, but found flaws in the way the state picks which highway and construction projects will be funded.
The overall grade matches the state's results from 2005 in the rankings from the Pew Center on the States. Pew said the average score among the 50 states was a "B-minus."
Pew said in its report Monday that states were evaluated on areas including recruitment of qualified public employees, the use of technology to communicate with the public, managing fiscal resources and maintaining roads, bridges and buildings.
The group said Louisiana could improve the way it chooses construction projects, in which the Legislature approves "a laundry list of projects many times longer than the state could ever fund or accomplish. The real prioritization comes after that, when the governor, according to his or her own priorities, recommends a subset of those projects to be funded by the Bond Commission."

Indianapolis, once a poster child for blighted Midwestern old-economy cities, is now a showcase for publicly coordinated and funded urban renewal. The city features a city/county "Unigov" government system, which has worked well for coordinated planning and public redevelopment efforts. Cost of living is very attractive for this type of city. The vastly renewed downtown core boasts attractive new buildings, pedestrian zones, and a state-of-the-art sports arena.
The area has a diverse industrial base of high-tech and agricultural industries, and serves as headquarters to pharmaceutical and research giant Eli Lilly and a strong presence of financial services, publishing, industrial automation and software. Spectator sports, including the NBA Pacers, NFL Colts and a few minor league franchises are a huge draw. The venerable Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosts the Indianapolis 500, the Brickyard 400, and other events. Pro and college sports- particularly basketball- get enormous attention. The NCAA Hall of Fame is located downtown, and the city hosts portions of the NCAA basketball tournament each year. "Indy" boasts a well-rounded arts and cultural scene and the educational opportunities of the nearby Indiana-Purdue joint campus and Butler University.
Access and transportation around the city are aided by a grid with radiating spokes and a circular beltway. Residential neighborhoods spread out in all directions, with the fashionable and attractive Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville towards the north. Sections immediately south are more commercial and industrial, while areas farther to the south contain recreational opportunities in the wooded and hilly town of Nashville and Brown County State Park.
In part because of Southwest Airlines, air service features some of the best discounts in the Midwest. Cost of living is very low. Some traffic problems have emerged on commute corridors particularly in the north, and the area has experienced some effects of the decline in the auto industry, Crime rates run a bit above average and air quality is somewhat worse. But these are minor issues; overall Indy is one of the brighter spots in today's Midwest.
The climate is continental with warm, humid summers, but without a dry season and little extreme heat. Precipitation is evenly distributed throughout the year, and winters are cold and variable with intermittent rain and snow. Snowfalls of 3 inches or more occur on average of two to three times each winter. First freeze is mid- to late October, last is late April.
As of 2014, Indianapolis's population is 831,230 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 3.41 percent.
The median home cost in Indianapolis is $120,500. Home appreciation the last year has been 8.00 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Indianapolis's cost of living is 11.10% Lower than the U.S. average.
Indianapolis public schools spend $12,333 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 16.8 students per teacher in Indianapolis.
The unemployment rate in Indianapolis is 5.80 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Positive. Indianapolis jobs have Increased by 4.17 percent.
