Discussion in 'British Beasts: Triumph Tigers' started by ScrambDaddy, Jul 12, 2010.
I get 220 pretty regularly. Stock exhaust, and I keep current on available ECU maps.
Thanks! I'm really interested in either the 800XC or the Roadie, but wanted to get a good feel for the mpg.
48.3mpg over the ~4500 miles I have the Tiger 800 Roadie.
Note: I do a lot of weekend touring with my wife. She's on her own bike and we go at a very unhurried pace.
This might help:

I'm getting 43 to 45.
I have my Roadie all set up for sport touring. It has a Penske rear shock where I have raised the ride height by about 15mm. I have moved the sidestand inside the frame with some 9mm spacers and dropped the Traxxion Dynamics forks with the AK-20 kit about 4 mm in the triple clamps to raise the front as much as possible. Set up like this you won't hit the sidestand cut-out plunger any more. I ride quite aggressively on the road and I can still scrape the pegs, but by that time you're moving along pretty good. The bike is really awesome for this on the road. I have a dedicated track day bike so I find the Tiger keeps the speeds sane. I would be going way too fast if I was on a sportbike. Like Browneye said, it is not a sportbike. I think if you are an aggressive road rider you will prefer the Roadie. I still take mine off-road but probably 5% or less. If you want to take yours off-road quite a bit get the XC. For how I use the bike the Roadie suits me best.
Hey Tim,
I just ordered the Saddlemen seat from Revzilla. Should receive it in a few days.
FYI... I did talk to a salesperson at Revzilla about both the Saddlemen and the Moose Racing seats. I wanted more room in the riders portion. He called both manufacturers and informed me the Saddlemen would be a better choice.
I will post my opinion of the seat after putting a few miles on it.
Do you adjust preload from time to time for varying loads? If yes, how much pain is that?
I've got one, on my 1050, and have never touched the preload. Even two-up, tank bag, and full panniers, I didn't touch anything. If you're clear about your intentions with the bike, the shop should be able to set it up accordingly. Traxxion setup mine with a passenger and full luggage and track day possibilities in mind. I've, actually, reduced preload from where they had set it. Yeah, two-up, it will run wide. But, at that pace, I should be by myself and at the track. Otherwise, it's plush and controlled. She has made numerous remarks about how nice my bike rides. I agree.
As a side note, I setup my Daytona the same way "marloweluke" setup his. I slid down the forks in the clamps and jacked up the rear to where it was on the verge of unstable, hard on the brakes. The bike would turn on a dime. I'd setup my 1050 the same way, but, it's already taller than I'd like.
Thanks for the input everyone.
I don't really need to fool around with the preload although when I have to it certainly is not as convenient as the hydraulic preload adjuster. I do have a Torrington bearing kit between the collar and the spring which makes it a little easier to change preload. For two up touring I was considering getting a second heavier spring as it is quite easy to undo the bottom linkage, take off all the preload and replace the spring with a heavier one. Would be worthwhile doing for a longer trip. An extra spring is about $100.
Dealers are offering $1750 gift card on the XC; $1500 on the Roadie right now
Is that for accessories, or can it be applied to the price of the bike?
I'm sure it's for accessories, altho I noticed on the board that they had a Tiger at a discounted price of @$2000 off OTD price-sorry I don't remember whether a Roadie or XC, but??????
All is well with the world!
I'm the guy who made a commitment to purchase the 800XC, and a few days later, upon viewing the Trophy, had big time 2nd thoughts. Finally had a chance to demo the Trophy today. It's a great bike, I'm sure they'll sell tons of them, but for me and my needs and where I am in my life the Tiger 800 XC is head and shoulders above it as a far better choice!
Was beautiful, smooth, and very powerful.
But for this rider here are the negatives:
Legs were too cramped even with stock seat in the highest position
Bike felt heavy and cumbersome during slow speed handling. Within the first one minute of the ride that was the deal breaker for me
Compared to the light weight and plush suspension of the 800 XC, the suspension felt a little jarring on beat up pot hole filled suburban roads
Compared to the 800, I felt too isolated from the ride experience by the size of the fairing and the multitude of the electronic gadgets
Grateful that I feel clarity and a sense of peace about which motorcycle to purchase!
Thank you all for your help!!
Can you share more specifics of the Gift Card you're referring to? Just checked the Triumph web site and there is no mention of it I could find.
I have committed to the purchase of a leftover 800 Tiger at a nearby dealer, but haven't picked it up yet, so you've got my attention.
Got to a "0" miles to go on the dash as I entered a gas station. As a matter of fact, it was 3 miles to go a few yards before and then it turned to three dashes... I assume that is a "zero". It had 231 miles on the clock since the last fill. It took 4.5 gallons to fill.
I have a hunch Doc and I are on the same mailing list for Newport Beach Ducati-Triumph...they sent it out yesterday I think. Says right on it, "Newport Beach Triumph Only". I didn't save it because I'm not on the market for another one of these things.
This same dealer tacks on freight and prep automatically, so all they're doing is discounting it back off. BFD. You still have to negotiate the best deal you can get, then add on whatever factory accessories you think you need.
I think it also said for 2012 models...so maybe they have a couple of those left.
Here ya' go. As I edited in my previous post, they also have on their whiteboard a Tiger at @$2000 of otd price. Only at local dealer, but if they have still have special on the Tiger + $1700 card, might be worth a trip from NJ??? Lotta time to break it in on the way home.
Observation on 17t counter sprocket:
I put this on my roadie around a month ago. It probably gets me a few more mpg, but if you're a big person or ride two up (which I haven't tried yet) in a hilly area at highway speeds, you could possibly find yourself downshifting. I'm only around 150lbs with gear on, and I live in Florida, but when going up what we call a hill here at 80MPH, it seems (going off memory) I have to give it a lil more gas. Starting from a stop seems about the same - no issues. Wish I could test it in the mountains, but that's a long ride from here Still trying to get my girlfriend to jump on the back and go for a ride as well.
I would not do this mod on an XC as it has the bigger rear wheel and same gearing as the roadie (from what I understand).
New ECU map 20652 (coming from 20634):
Threw this on last night. I can't tell any difference (no surprise here), but was curious if anyone else has noticed differences with the new maps?

WellCare issues largely company-specific, says UBS
UBS notes that aside from WellCare (WCG), which attributed its lowered guidance to the start-up of its Florida MMA program and other issues, that Centene (CNC), WellPoint (WLP), UnitedHealth (UNH) and Humana (HUM) are the leaders in Medicaid in the state. However, the firm believes a majority of WellCare's issues appear company specific and UBS views any weakness in UnitedHealth, WellPoint, Aetna (AET), or Cigna (CI) as opportunity to buy those four stocks, on all of which it has Buy ratings.

Magellan Health Florida rate significantly lower than expected, says Leerink
Leerink analyst Ana Gupte calls the final rate released by the Florida Medicaid Agency as significantly lower than expected for Magellan Health (MGLN). Gupte sees 10c-20c in earnings per share downside for FY15 and 30c-60c downside in FY16. The rate disappointment is Magellan-specific as Centene (CNC) indicated that the rate increase for it is in line with its expectation, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The rate disappointment is also an additional 2016 headwind for Magellan after the Iowa contract, she adds. The analyst keeps a Market Perform rating on Magellan.

Investors feel burn of big M&A deals, WSJ reports
Some investors are getting burned by large acquisitions, the Wall Street Journal reports. The rise in stock prices as a result of the M&A boom over the past few years have had the twin effect of emboldening other buyers and increasing the value of shares that are often used as currency, the report says. Since July 1, buyers' share prices fell about 0.6% on average on the first day of trading following the announcement of an M&A deal over $1B, the report says, citing data provider Dealogic. For example, Energy Transfer Equity's (ETE) stock dropped nearly 13% after news of its $32.6B proposal to take over Williams Companies (WMB), with Centene (CNC), McGraw Hill Financial (MHFI), and Dialog all also falling after M&A news, the report says.

Clinton vows $250 cap on monthly drug costs in blast against biotechs, insurers
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton railed against biotech companies as well as health insurers at a community health care forum in Iowa on Tuesday. Clinton began her speech by praising the Affordable Care Act, but quickly noted that she wants to strengthen it due to what she called the rising cost of prescription drugs. She explained, "Our pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries deserve credit... [But] too often, these drugs cost a fortune. Now, sometimes there is a good reason for that. Scientific breakthroughs are often the result of major investment... so it may makes sense, for a short period of time, to have to charge a lot of money for a drug. But when a drug has no competition, when there aren't any other treatments that can do what it does, pharmaceutical companies can charge astronomical fees far beyond anything that it would take to recoup their investment, and far beyond what they charge consumers anywhere else in the world outside of America." Referencing the recent criticism against Turing Pharmaceuticals, Clinton went on to say that "pharmaceutical companies that acquire an existing affordable drug that people rely on, and then turn around and charge a fortune for it, [are just betting] on the fact that desperate people will find some way to pay for it." Preemptively responding to questions of whether greater regulation will dampen investment, Clinton commented that "some people worry that my proposals will threaten innovation, but I have designed a plan that will do exactly the opposite... Under my plan, drug companies that want to keep getting federal support will have to redirect more of their profits into meaningful investments in research and development." Clinton also criticized incremental drug improvements, saying that "too often, so-called new drugs are really old drugs that have just been tweaked a little bit, but then they're marketed as breakthrough drugs and they're sold for high prices." The Democratic candidate went on to condemn advertising in the drug industry, remarking that "I also want to tackle direct to consumer advertising... Other countries ban these ads because they are so often misleading. But at the very least, we shouldn't be encouraging them with corporate write-offs... Under my plan, we will instead use that taxpayer money to fund innovation... I would also like to make sure any ads the drug industry does run are approved by the FDA." Moving more broadly onto Medicaid and health insurers, Clinton stated, "I believe Medicare should be able to negotiate for lower prices for its members... I will require drug companies to provide higher rebates for prescription drugs to low income Medicare patients, just like they have to do for Medicaid patients... I think the insurance companies need to be put on notice." Providing more concrete details of her plan, Clinton concluded, "I will cap out of pocket drug costs for working families. You won't have to pay more than $250 a month for covered medications... Particularly for people who have a chronic illness. Also under my plan, you will be able to import cheaper drugs from other countries legally. If the medicine you need costs less in Canada, you should be able to buy it from Canada or any other country that meets our safety standards... I will also make sure we have more generics on the market [by boosting funding for] the FDA's office of generic drugs."
Aetna plans to raise Humana wages after merger, Bloomberg says
Aetna (AET) CEO Mark Bertolini plans to raise wages to $16 per hour for about 10,000 low-wage Humana (HUM) employees if the prospective merger of the two companies goes through, reports Bloomberg, citing written testimony at a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing. "Our hope is these initiatives will help reduce employee turnover," explained Bertolini.

Mark E. Smith
H. P. Lovecraft
the Fall
"They say music should be fun / like reading a story of love / but I wanna read a horror story."
Readers, if this post seems disjointed and disordered—if I sometimes lose the eldritch thread that knits together the all-too-discrete patches of this bafflingly incoherent holiday quilt—it is because I am slowly going mad with terror as I write these words. You see, I've just watched Mark E. Smith read H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour out of Space," filmed in 2007 as part of BBC Collective's Christmas festivities. And indeed, what better way to celebrate the birth of our Lord?
If you haven't read "The Colour out of Space," it's basically the same story as O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi." The main difference is that, instead of the woman selling her hair for a watch chain and the man selling his watch for some combs, there's an extraterrestrial plague that kills the livestock, blights the crops, and drives everyone mad with terror. Merry Christmas! If you think about it, Mark E. Smith is kind of like Santa Claus, too, except instead of a bottomless sack of prezzies, he carries around a ruined stomach full of bile.
MES explained how he selected this festive text at the BBC Collective site:
I've been a fan of HP Lovecraft since I was about 17. I chose to read this story because it's very unusual for him; it's not like his other tales. They are usually about people who live underground, or threats to humanity - which I like as well - but The Colour Out Of Space is quite futuristic. He wrote it in 1927, which is weird.
I'm writing my own book at the moment. It's supposed to be my autobiography, but I've put a few short stories in it too. It's out in April 2008. My stories are very much like Lovecraft's actually. Everyone wants me to write about dark and doomy things, like my lyrics. But some of my stories are quite cheerful.

Federal Protective Service (FPS) Explosive Detector Dog (EDD) teams provide a strong visible and psychological deterrent against criminal and terrorist threats. EDD teams are the most effective countermeasure available today for detection of explosives. The EDD teams, each comprised of a dog and a law enforcement handler, conduct searches for a variety of explosive materials near building exteriors, parking lots, office areas, vehicles, packages, and people in and around federal facilities.
Strategic and Preventive Tactics
EDD teams play a critical role in FPS' comprehensive preventive security measures by supporting strategic explosive detection activities . They also provide immediate and specialized response to bomb threats and unattended packages or other such dangerous items. Most often, these detection activities allow the EDD teams to detect or quickly rule out the presence of dangerous materials and allow the business of the government to continue with minimal or no interruption.
FPS has recently initiated a Personnel Screening Detection (PSD) program. PSD canines are specially trained to detect explosives carried by people or in moving containers, such as luggage or backpacks.
History and Training
Since the program first started in Washington, DC in 1998, it has grown from 12 teams to a fully operational, national program of more than 70 authorized teams.
EDD responsibilities require the highest levels of expertise and professionalism and, as such, the selected handlers and canines are matched early in the training process and are required to complete a 10-week training course at the Basic FPS Canine Academy. After successful completion of the training program, the handlers and their canine partners graduate from the course as a certified EDD team and are strategically deployed across the nation based on the current threats and risk analysis.
In addition to the training they receive at the FPS Canine Academy, the FPS EDD teams are required to maintain proficiency throughout the year and recertify annually. The EDD teams participate in numerous training exercises throughout the year with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
For more information on FPS and its programs, please visit Federal Protective Service or email email@example.com.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
A California native who has spent most of his high school coaching career in Florida, Tim Cokely has done a pretty good job of avoiding cold weather. He couldn't escape it this week, though.The Greater Atlanta Christian head football coach and his Gwinnett colleagues are coaching this week in the annual Rivalries of Gwinnett All-Star Football Game, and spend close to two hours each afternoon in the frigid temperatures. A crop of more than 70 Gwinnett high school players are right there with them. "I've gone skiing a good bit and (Monday) was the coldest I've ever been in my life," Cokely said during Tuesday afternoon's practice at Grayson, when the high was 31 degrees and the low was 14. The coaches and players did their best to bundle up and keep moving, bouncing around more than standing still. Like them, I couldn't feel my toes as I watched Tuesday's practice. I thought that was bad, but every player or coach I spoke with said that Monday, with its brutal wind, was much worse. The Monday temperatures were low, a high of 32 and a low of 18, but the stiff wind made it feel like double digits as the teams practiced at Grayson and Central Gwinnett. By the time the sun dipped behind the visiting stands Tuesday evening at Grayson, the temperature dropped rapidly. Only Charlie Conn, the father of Grayson head coach Mickey Conn was comfortable — he was smart enough to observe from the heated press box. Meanwhile many players caught and threw passes without gloves, hiding their hands as much as they could for warmth. The kickers booted rock-hard footballs. As a bonus, rain will be added into the mix the next two days. The players and coaches are enduring the elements to prepare for Saturday's all-star game — scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at Mountain View — using the time to learn new terminology and plays for the annual showdown. For some, it's just a fun game before they play in college. For others, it may be the last organized football game they ever play. The game and the Saturday morning banquet that precedes it are the rewards for these players, some of the top senior players Gwinnett has to offer. It's the payoff for a week full of hard work in the bone-chilling cold. The forecast for Saturday's game isn't great — a high of 44 and low of 24 according to The Weather Channel — but two Gwinnett all-star teams still will face off for bragging rights. Hopefully a good crowd of fans will be there to support them. After what they've been going through this week, they deserve it. Will Hammock can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.

Slow Food, Gold & Treasure Coast presents "Celebrating Julia Child" March 9, 2013
The Purpose
Slow Food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. In the big picture, it is a global, grassroots association with thousands of members around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment. Members believe the food we eat should taste good and be nutritionally dense, that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or human health, and that producers receive fair payment for their work.
The People
Led by volunteers T.A. Wyner and Sheryl Paul, the inaugural Featured Chef Dinner to benefit Slow Food Gold & Treasure Coast includes the culinary artistry of Chef Rasheed of Olive Oils of the World and Chef Chris Pawlowski of Palm Beach Organics. Also on-hand will be Albert "Albie" Walton, the photographer who produced photos for Julia Child's Kitchen.
The Party
The inaugural Featured Chef Dinner, "Celebrating Julia Child," is at 5 p.m. on March 9 at the Endless Summer Vineyard & Winery in Fort Pierce. The dinner will be a first in the series of dinners the local chapter will sponsor honoring chefs whose culinary values align with the international Slow Food movement. The March 9 dinner menu pays homage to Julia Child, the celebrated American chef who is most responsible for introducing French cuisine to the United States. Proceeds from the dinner are used to fund the construction and expansion of community gardens on the Gold and Treasure Coast. A salad and cheese plate will be served to guests during Albie Walton's presentation. The dinner menu, designed in the true spirit of the Slow Food movement, will feature locally grown foods prepared by local chefs to include beef bourguignon by Chef Rasheed, chocolate mousse in a collar of dark chocolate by Chef Chris Pawlowski and wines from Endless Summer Vineyard & Winery. Tickets to "Celebrating Julia Child" are $75 per person and include an optional wine-tasting and self-guided tour of the vineyards and grounds of the Endless Summer Vineyard & Winery from 5-6 p.m. Reservations are required and can be purchased at http://www.endlesssummerwine.com. or by calling (772) 460-0500.

I think that was the right move. With all the jumping around in time it would have looked weird to see Worf's makeup constantly changing in every other scene.
Actually, being so emmersed in the first season again, those flashback scenes in AGT now look weirder than
. They're all wearing the same uniforms, but suddenly look much older (especially Data, who doesn't look nearly as thin as he did). And details like the wrong bridge carpet color really stand out more as well.

Congenital Lyme Update: Happy News, Sad News and a Commitment
Happy News
I am so overjoyed! It has been a long difficult year, but all of our hard work has paid off for our oldest, age 5. He is currently symptom-free!
We started right away with a gluten-free (GF), dairy-free (DF) and sugar-free (SF) diet. Well, we kind of suck at the sugar part, but we are mostly sugar-free. We did it a little too fast, however, and his system couldn't handle it. He has struggled with stomach pain from a young age and it continued through much of this past year, since our diagnosis. He even had a month of intermittent vomiting - only at night - over the summer, which resulted in an ER visit after he began vomiting blood due to a tear in his throat. To this day, we do not know what caused that.
A month or two into treatment, we were referred to an amazing woman who practices Chinese Medicine. She worked wonders for our son. It took time, but we were patient. She treated him with acupressure and herbal teas and made several diet recommendations, like no bananas or cold foods. In addition, we added in probiotics. He'd had issues with dairy for some time and we learned wheat had also become an issue, likely causing his chronic stomach pain. Slowly but surely, we saw a difference. He hasn't complained of stomach pain in a couple of months now.
Another big symptom he dealt with was joint pain. "All my bumpy parts hurt, Mommy," he would say. It would break my heart. From the moment he could communicate, he would talk about pain. My 5-year old had the joint pain of an 80-year old. "It's just growing pains," his pediatrician would say. I suspected otherwise. It would be another two years before I was diagnosed and we put the puzzle together.
We started with a short course of antibiotics, but decided to switch to herbal after ART testing and some intestinal issues. He used A-L and A-Bab for treating Lyme and Babesia. We continued probiotics, whole food vitamins, multi-vitamin, Vit D/Calcium for bone growth since we don't do dairy and Mila for nutrients and to mop up and take away the toxins. The joint pain persisted, worsening as symptoms do with Lyme treatment. I was beside myself. Finally, our Chinese Medicine doctor recommended an herbal treatment she had used on children in the past to help with inflammation. We started with a low dose, but it didn't touch his pain. So, she increased it to a more potent dosage. But, we only started with one that covered his upper body. One day, he mentioned his knees and ankles hurt. I inquired about his shoulders and elbows. He thought about it and said: "No, they feel fine." Eureka! On our next visit she gave us the higher dosage of the herb specifically designed for lower body joint pain. After a couple of months, we took him off of the herbs entirely and have not had a recurrence of joint pain since...even on days where he is a busy 5-year old bouncing off the walls.
One of the other things we learned from ART Testing was that our family suffered from mold toxicity. As a matter of fact, it was a bigger issue for us than Lyme. I can look back now and know why this is. A home we purchased just before his first birthday. We lived there for 3 1/2 years and we all got very sick there. This is also the home we brought our daughter home to the day after she was born. Removing ourselves from that sick building surely also played a part in our son's healing. But, if you know anything about mold, you know you can get even sicker after you leave because you become sensitive to other things, like chemicals. You also get much sicker much quicker any time you are exposed to mold. So, we are currently educating ourselves on mold. I'm learning there are many other places we may have been infected: workplace, car, homes of family and friends and so on.
Sad News
Our daughter is still very ill, but in a different way. She is healthiest on antibiotics. Since she was born, she has had one illness after another. She had a horrible rash all over her body from about 3-6 months of her life. She has struggled to gain weight and only just crossed 20lbs. Her 2nd birthday is at the end of this month. She fought chronic ear infections for a year before getting tubes in her ears. Even then, every time she'd go off antibiotics, a week later she would start showing symptoms of illness. She has barely slept through the night in her almost-2 years, except when on antibiotics. She eats better and gains weight when on antibiotics. She is happy and more communicative on antibiotics. She naps better on antibiotics. Off of antibiotics, she wakes up 2-3 times per night, sometimes with what others would call night terrors...but what I believe is pain. Now that she is older she will even say: "Boo-boo hurt me." She stops eating well, sometimes skipping two meals in a row. She drinks less. She is highly irritable and in recent months has begun screaming in pain in her car seat. We are heartbroken and frustrated to watch her go through this...and more motivated than ever to find out what is happening.
Recently, after a bout of strep, we visited a neurologist, recommended by her pediatrician. "I'm perplexed," he said. "Every symptom you are here to see me about has gone away with antibiotics. It seems to me like there is some underlying infection." This is...exactly. what. I. have. been. saying...for over a year now. Today we visited our local pediatrician, who is not a Lyme-Literate M.D. (LLMD), but is aware of Lyme and is very supportive. I finally feel like we are on the same page. They are testing her for many things...PANDAS/PANS (strep-induced; causes tics and OCD; often found in Lyme kids and sometimes parents), mycoplasma pneumonia, IgG/IgM/IgA and more. They are also checking her Lyme titers again and her white blood count as it was low in previous draws.
Our Commitment
We are elated that our son is healing and can enjoy his childhood as every child should...free of pain and a strict med schedule. He'll have to endure a stricter diet than most, but it is for his own good and hopefully he will see it that way too...if not today, someday. We are committed to keeping him well, so that he can keep the edge on Lyme, co-infections, mold and anything else life throws his way.
We are sad that our daughter has suffered so much in her life already, but we are committed to changing that. I hope to have a more definitive diagnosis on what the underlying infection is by the end of the summer and a healthier, happy child by the end of the year.
We have endured a lot and I still have a long way to go in my own treatment, but we are so grateful for two strong, inspiring, amazing kids! And I am grateful for a loving, supportive husband. We still have quite a journey ahead of us, but we are determined to win it. We've downsized so that treating four people does not bury us financially. I continue to research the best options for care for our family, despite debilitating symptoms...like fatigue, muscle fatigue, brain fog and a range of symptoms too long to list here...so that we make the right choices, especially for our children. Thank you to all who have supported us on this journey. Sometimes we feel like we are pinned to the ropes, but we commit to keep bouncing back again and again. The fight is far from over, but we are taking it one round at a time.

I was diagnosed a few weeks ago, but I know I have had it most of my life. My daughter, who is 2, had blood work done a few months back, and they are wanting to send her to a pediatric rheumatologist. I know she has Lyme, but I can't bring myself to take her to the doctor and hold her down again for them to take more blood. She has had blood drawn twice and an IV put in her and I have had to hold her down for all of it. She hates the word doctor, and every time we get near a nurse or doc she clenches to me tight. How have you dealt with them taking blood with your little one? Mine complains of pain constantly, and that was why I took her to have blood work done to begin with, but that was before I was diagnosed (though I knew before the doctors did, I just didn't put the pieces together until they diagnosed me). I don't want to have to hold her down again for more blood. That is the only reason I haven't taken her.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am so sorry you are going through this. My heart breaks for you and your daughter. I was right where you are a little over a year ago. I was HEARTBROKEN for my children. But, I have come a long way since then. My son too was in pain a lot...all of his joints. Now, he never complains of it. I know it is hard right now, but think of it this way... you know what is causing her pain and you know there is a treatment that can help! We had our doctor prescribe a numbing cream that worked WONDERS for our son who also had to give a lot of blood. You put it on an hour before and cover it with plastic wrap. You take it off when you sit down to do the blood draw and he didn't feel a thing! I also think the person who draws it makes a huge difference. Do you have a children's hospital you can take her too? My 2 year old has had a lot of draws lately and I pay a little more to take her to our local kid's hospital so that she feels more comfortable and is around people who are used to working with kids. My only warning is most Rheumatologists aren't on board with the chronic Lyme diagnosis, especially congenital chronic Lyme. If you are located on the East coast, there are some amazing LLMD pediatricians in PA and NY. I can get you their info, just let me know! Also, there is an AMAZING ND in Seattle named Amy Derkson. She works with Dr. Klinghardt sometimes I believe. She will actually Skype your appointments! That may be a good place to start. There are also some excellent support groups on Facebook that have helped me and lifted me up more times than I can count! I can give you names, just email me and I'll get them to you. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you! Hang in there...it does get better!
Thanks, I appreciate the info. I am actually in North Carolina. Do you know the name of that cream? I would like to try that. I thought to even ask for sedation for her, only because she has extreme panic attacks when we go to any doctor now. I know there are some LLMDs in NC but they are a good drive for me. I am gonna try to avoid the Rheumatologist if possible, only if I can get the courage to get her tested. Surprisingly, I think my son is symptom free. I hope it stays that way.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi again! It's a Lidocaine cream. I am not sure of the specific name, but most docs are aware of it. They may also offer a type of sedation if you ask for it. Or some form of anti-anxiety med. I hope your son stays symptom-free as well! As long as you are aware of what to look for, you can get him right in with your doc or your daughter's LLMD (once you find one) that can treat him right away. I was actually infected in Texas, but lived in upstate NY, which is endemic. I also know many people who have been infected here, so I am sure I could have been reinfected here as well! Hang in there and write any time. I am here to help!Delete
I wanted to add, I see you are from Florida. I was born and raised in Zephyrhills, Florida and I am sure that is where I became infected.ReplyDelete
Hi there,ReplyDelete
I was hoping I could talk with you directly. We are a family of 5 and 2 dogs. My 7 year old was probably infected at a year old but just found out last year she had lymes. My husband has lymes. Both our dogs have it. I just gave birth and our little one has had a host of weird issues. They say I'm Lyme free but not so sure. I'd love to talk to u through email. I attached my sons web page. There's a contact button. If you have the time
Hi Erica! I responded through your son's webpage. Did you get it?Delete
Hi Melissa,ReplyDelete
I was diagnosed in March of this year after suffering 2 years of symptoms. I got my 5 year old tested through Igenex to see if he has it. He shows ZERO Symptoms. His Igenex are as follows:
IGM Igenex result = negative
Cdc/nys result = negative
IGG Igenex result = negative
Cdc/nys result = negative
These bands indicate exposure to BB however as I mentioned he shows no symptoms. Should I still start treatment on him and will that awaken the beast? Or should I wait until he starts to show symptoms if at all? Do you think he can go through life with no symptoms and just be a carrier?

I cannot bare the fact that your children are going through this. Tears stream down my cheeks for them. As an adult, I find the whole experience of lyme so difficult, and it is such a hard road - that your poor little ones are doing this is terrible. I send you the biggest feeling of hope and love - your heart must be so sad for them. Oh what an amazing mother you are.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Kirstin! It has been difficult, but we are in a better place now. We still have many years of treatment ahead of us, but we feel empowered in knowing what we are dealing with. I hope you are feeling OK!Delete
Hi Melissa,ReplyDelete
Thank you for writing about congenital lyme. As you wrote, there are many questions about whether we do more harm by treating our kids with abx or if we should treat to stop more damage from happening. We are currently struggling with these questions.
It's highly likely I contracted Lyme at age 11. I was diagnosed with
Earlier this year. My husband and kids were subsequently testing and test positive. My youngest (4) shows more symptoms than my oldest (6). I am hoping you would be willing to email me as I just had a couple questions for you. And I could not find a link to email you here on your blog. We are scheduled to See a ND who specializes in lyme in September. I am also scheduled to see an LLMD in the states in October. I am mostly curious to hear that you would do anything different from the start in regards to antibiotic treatment . would you start with the art testing and natural remedies for your kids or would you go the antibiotic about to begin?
I would greatly appreciate an email if you have some time. It would be a relief to hear from someone who's been treating heir kids for a little while and might be able to some helpful insights with hindsight.
My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Shanna! I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis! I will be happy to email you. If you don't receive it, let me know.Delete

Transfer to ASU lifts athlete to new heights
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Getting to Charlotte, N.C., from San Angelo is a pretty lengthy trip.
The journey has been even longer for 2007 Lake View High School graduate Jacob McDonald.
McDonald, now starring at Angelo State in the pole vault and javelin, will travel to Charlotte for the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships this week hoping to "bring back some hardware," as ASU head coach James Reid put it.
But McDonald's journey is a little different from many of his fellow Rams.
After a stellar high school career that saw him set the Lake View school record in the pole vault and just miss out on qualifying for the UIL state meet, McDonald signed with Division I UT-San Antonio.
But McDonald never felt comfortable in San Antonio and at UTSA.
"I was only at UTSA for one year," McDonald said. "I had my first season — we did indoor and outdoor. I really didn't get coached that well.
"We had a good coach and he has a good record out there, but when you have that many people (in the program), and you are D-I, it is hard to get one-on-one coaching."
His grades began to slip while competing for the Roadrunners and after staying an extra summer to work on his academics, he decided to come back to San Angelo.
He spent a year going to school working on his eligibility, and then he transferred to ASU. He then contacted Reid about his desire to compete again, and Reid told him to come out.
"It shows a lot about his dedication and commitment, because he had to get himself eligible, with some academic coursework," Reid said. "The ball falls in your lap in that situation. It was all on him.
"He stuck with it and committed himself to get to the point where he would at least have the chance to compete again."
But after a year away from competition, McDonald had a new hurdle to climb — getting back into proper shape.
The ASU sophomore estimated he weighed about 225 when conditioning started, and said his coaches "killed" him in the first week.
"When we finally started working out — we didn't pick up a javelin until the second semester of school — a lot of that training, and working on the running part of it, helped out in the long run," McDonald said.
While he has been vaulting since his high school days, javelin was something he didn't try until he was at UTSA.
As a former quarterback, he found picking up the javelin "pretty easy."
Now McDonald is the fifth seed in the javelin with a season-best throw of 211-0.
He credits his success this year to the conditioning, and constantly being pushed by teammate Tyler Orlando.
"We push each other in practice every day," McDonald said. "This past week he has been pushing me and riding me pretty hard. He has been trying to get me back to where I was a few weeks ago.
"I just hope to go out there and show people what I can do. The sky is the limit, I guess."
Reid said the constant battle between McDonald and his teammates in both the javelin and pole vault has been beneficial.
"He has guys that are jumping just as well as he is in the vault, and he has Tyler in the javelin," Reid said. "If he wants to be the best, he has to bring it in practice every time and at the meets, just against his teammates."
McDonald is the 13th seed in the pole vault, with a height of 16-3.25, but he thinks he can clear 16-9 or even 17 feet this week.
Overall, McDonald feels that transitioning to ASU has been a huge benefit.
"The coaching here is awesome, compared to where I came from at UTSA," McDonald said. "The coaches (here) are real in tune with you and talk to you and help you out.
"I like being at home, and living with my dad. He helps me out a ton. He has been like another coach my whole life."
Reid said that he also feels that ASU is a much better fit for the San Angelo native. He wants McDonald to understand what he can accomplish this week.
"I told him getting to the national meet is just the first step," Reid said. "We don't just want to say we qualified; we want to come back All-American. There is a lot of work still left to do.
"At this point he has taken advantage of his opportunity — hopefully he will come home with some hardware (this) week."

My 10 day old kitten has been eating, pooping and peeing very well. As of today her poop has taken on a white-ish color instead of the tan-ish golden-ish color that it had. Is this something that I need to worry about?1 May, 2009 at 2:07 am #421633
Kitten Whisperer in Oregon (8/27)Participant
I found an article online that talks about the various colors of kitten poop (who would have thought!). I don't know if the information is accurate, but you may want to take the kitten to a vet. http://www.kittenrescue.org/pages.php?pageid=15 (scroll about 3/4 of the way down the page)1 May, 2009 at 4:30 am #421634
yes if the pooh is a light or grey color he needs to go to the vet pronto,he's probably not doing well. Is the kitten still eating and drinking,peeing and pooping and bright and playful.
A change in pooh color along with a decrease in playfulness,decrease in eating warrants a trip to the vet.1 May, 2009 at 8:25 am #421635
She is still eating, pooping, peeing and the same amount of playfulness. Jus tthe poop has changed color. It is not grey just a lighter yellow and has white to it.1 May, 2009 at 9:32 am #421636
VET!! VET!! Sorry to be an alarmist about this, but your baby needs hydration, and may need subcutaneous fluid injection. This is a serious problem. poo should be brownish yellow and firm. white/curdled means severe dehydration. Mix pedialyte with the formula and cut way back on the formula powder.
Thanks for taking care of this little gal!1 May, 2009 at 4:43 pm #421637
I read at this site: http://www.safehavenforcats.com/newborn.htm how to make a pedialyte. I have fed her this until her poop returned to the normal color. She also had a health check yesterday at the vet by a tech and everything came back fine. today she is back on formula but once she has had her amount for the day I am going to give her pedialyte if she fusses instead of formula. I think in my zest to feed her and keep her alive I over fed her and hurt her instead. Bad Mommy!!1 May, 2009 at 5:36 pm #421638
As long as you mean to do good you are never a Bad Mommy! We all learn thru trial and error! Keep up the good work and give some lovin' from me!
By the way, my husband thought that "DAT" was cute, once I got it explained to him!1 May, 2009 at 8:00 pm #421639

Narendra Modi can apply for visa: US
The United States has said Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is welcome to to apply for U.S. visa.
During her daily press briefing on Thursday, U.S. Department of State spokesperson Victoria Nuland said: "With regard to Mr. Modi, our lines (US policy on his visa) have not changed here. He is welcome to apply (for visa). All visa decisions are made on a case by case basis, and I'm not going to prejudge it here."
The United States in 2005 decided Modi will not be given a U.S. visa because of the concern that the U.S. had on the Gujarat rights.
"We've said at all points that like any other visa applicant he's welcome to apply and we'll review the case on the merits," Nuland said.
Asked is the State Department will issue a visa to a foreign national when invited by a congressmen or group of congressmen, she said: "Every visa is adjudicated on the merits and in the context of U.S. law individually."
Commenting on the visit of the special delegation from the US to Gujarat and its meeting with Modi, Nuland said: "Well, let me first say with regard to our congressional delegation that was in Gujarat, visits like this do help support a deepening of business-to-business ties, of people-to-people ties, across India, in Gujarat.
"So from our perspective, the more congressional delegations that visit India and understand its dynamism and diversity, the more likely we are to continue to deepen those important ties."
On Mar 28, a delegation of American Congressmen and businessmen met Modi in Gandhinagar and invited the senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader to visit the US.
The 18-member US delegation, led by Republican Congressmen from Illinois Aaron Schock, held over an hour-long closed-door meeting with Modi and other top state officials.
Modi said he spoke to the delegation about the fast, inclusive and environment-friendly process of development in Gujarat.
The Chief Minister tweeted: "I spoke to the USA delegation about how Gujarat has adopted a faster, inclusive and environment friendly process of development."
"(I) Am thankful to the members of USA Congress and business persons for their kind words on Gujarat's development," he posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Schock said he has invited Modi to visit the US.
Speaking to media, Schock said: "We are grateful to Chief Minister Narendra Modi. We learnt about the development. It is much easier to do business in Gujarat. Modi is very dynamic person."
"We have extend an invitation to the Chief Minister to visit USA and share his ideas with us," he said.
Another Republican lawmaker Cynthia Lummis said: "Workers are valued here, it is a desirable place to live in because of Shri Modi's leadership qualities."
The delegation visited India in order to promote 'People to People Contacts and Diplomacy' along with the Overseas Friends of BJP's (OFBJP) 'Global Community Overreach Programme'.
As many as 25 members of the US House of Representatives last year shot a letter to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and asked her to continue denying visa to Modi.
The American lawmakers said the senior BJP leader's government did not pursue justice for the 2002 Gujarat riots victims adequately.
The infamous Gujarat riots of 2002 left hundreds of Muslims dead, injured and tortured and came as a blot in the BJP rule in the state.
The riots followed an incident of train burning in Godhra in which Hindus returning from Ayodhya were killed by a Muslim mob.
Around 1,000 supporters of prime accused Maulvi Umarjihad attacked the coach at the Godhra station and torched it killing 59 people and injuring many.

I read this a few years ago for an Intro to Shakespeare class. It was my favorite play we covered with the exception of The Tempest. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I do recall enjoying it and laughing out loud at several parts. Shakespeare's word play is wonderful.
I also feel that whether you try to read this from an anti-Semitist point of view or choose to view Shylock as a sympathetic character, you will still find a lot of enjoyment in this.
It is also interesting to think about law interpretation and the loop holes in the law and how they still exist today.
Side note: I watched the 2004 version of this with Al Pacino and felt that it stayed very true to the heart of the play.
A very interesting drama, it is well to watch many different performances to see the many nuances which can be ascribed to this play. From base racism and bigotry, to pathos and compassion. Was Shylock a caricature? Was he greedy and grasping, or was he maligned, persecuted and misunderstood? Lots of food for thought here.
تاجر البندقية هي إحدى المسرحيات الأشهر للكاتب الإنجليزي ويليام شكسبير، وقد حظيت بدراسة مستمرة من النقاد العالميين، ومعاداة من قبل التوجه الرسمي لليهود بسبب شخصية شايلوك اليهودي التاجر المرابي فيها.
تقوم حبكة هذه المسرحية حول تاجر شاب من إيطاليا) يدعى أنطونيو، ينتظر مراكبه لتأتي إليه بمال، لكنه يحتاج للمال من أجل صديقه بسانيو الذي يحبه كثيراً لأن بسانيو يريد أن يتزوج من بورشيا بنت دوق (بالمونت)الذكية، فيضطر للاقتراض من التاجر المرابي شايلوك الذي يشترط عليه أخذ رطل من لحمه إذا تأخر عن سداد الدي
بورشيا كانت قد رأت بسانيو الذي زار أباها عندما كان حيا ويتأخر أنطونيو فيطالب شايلوك برطل من اللحم، ويجره إلى المحكمة، ويكاد ينجح في قطع رطل من لحمه لولا مرافعة بورشيا التي تنكرت في شكل محامٍ واشترطت على اليهودي أن يأخذ رطلا من اللحم دون أن يهدر نقطة واحدة من دماء انطونيو والا يسجن فعجز اليهودي وترا
و في المسرحية خيوط أخرى تتحدث عن عداء المسيحيين لليهود، وعن الحب والثروة، والعزلة، والرغبة في الانت
أنتجت هذه المسرحية مرات كثيرة، وكان آخر إنتاج لها فيلم تاجر البندقية من بطولة آل باتشينو.
Holds up quite well upon re-reading. Although I'm now too old to play Portia, I still love her. Shylock gets a bad rap, but that's zeitgeist for you. At least Shakespeare tries to give background for him and he's not just pure evil (for no reason).
Bassanio needs money to further his suit for the hand of the beautiful Portia, but he has no credit to get a loan; Antonio is a Christian businessman who often lends money, but is currently out of pocket because all his funds are tied up in 5 ships which are at sea bringing home goods which will make him wealthy again. Antonio tells Bassanio to go to the Jew, Shylock, a userer, and borrow the money for three months using Antonio's own good name. He expects the return of one of his ships within two months.
Shylock hates Christians, and Antonio in particular, because they look down on him and treat him badly, and he requires that the return for any non-payment of the loaned sum be "a pound of flesh" from Antonio. Antonio agrees because he's sure his ship will come in.
So begins this wonderful play about property rights, familial duty, love, and friendship.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel firstname.lastname@example.com Nov. 18-24 is National Family Week, and to celebrate, the Clayton County Marriage and Family Initiative is trying to identify the ten longest-surviving married couples in the county, who will then be honored during the group's Jan. 22 general meeting. The couples will be presented with awards, and their stories will be recorded for use during International Marriage Week, Feb. 7-14, and National Black Marriage Day on March 30. "This is a time when families normally gather, anyway, and this is a way to recognize that," said Mimi Holland, board chair for the Clayton County Marriage and Family Initiative. "Children live better when families are strong," she said. "We want to hear what advice they [the married couples] would give to young people starting out." The Marriage and Family Initiative was started in June 2006 by Dean Haun, former pastor of First Baptist Church of Jonesboro. Last year, he pulled together more than 40 local pastors, who identified the lack of strong marriages as one of the major problems plaguing Clayton County. In 2000, nearly 49 percent of Clayton residents, who were older than 15, were listed as married, according to statistics gathered by religious leaders. Of that group, however, 12.5 percent later divorced, a rate that was higher than those of Henry County, Fayette County and the state. The rate was 9.9 percent in Henry, 6.8 percent in Fayette and 10.3 percent in Georgia. In 2005, 49.3 percent of births in Clayton were out-of-wedlock births, compared to 25.9 percent in Henry, 18.6 percent in Fayette, 38.1 percent in Georgia, and 28.6 percent nationally. Holland said that close to 70 percent of the children born in Clayton County are born to unwed mothers. Child support cases filed against fathers in Clayton have risen more than 90 percent, from 119 in 1995 to 1,412 in 2005. Temporary protective orders against abusive spouses rose more than 40 percent, from 687 in 2002 to 1,225 in 2005. "It seems, today, that many couples call it quits when their marriage comes up on hard times," Holland said. "Just by living, we are going to have hard times, but how do you stay married during those times? How do you live above them?" Holland believes Clayton County would be able to learn from the wisdom of couples who have stayed together for fifty years or more. To see if you qualify as one of the Marriage and Family Initiative's ten oldest couples, send a postcard with your name, address, telephone number, and number of years married, to: Clayton County Family and Marriage Initiative, PO Box 2506, Jonesboro, Ga., 30237.

There is no well-designed research showing that single-sex (SS) education improves students' academic performance, but there is evidence that sex segregation increases gender stereotyping and legitimizes institutional sexism.
Kay Steiger is unsurprised:
I think a lot of the reasons we are inclined toward single-sex education in the first place has are rooted in our stereotypes about gender. You see single-sex education advocates throwing around generalizations like, "boys are good at X," or "girls learn better by doing Y."

Before Safari, browsers were an afterthought. Something you put up with if you wanted to surf the Internet. One browser looked and felt just like another, so you chose the one that worked the best and crashed the least. They were ugly, cluttered affairs, whose interfaces competed for your attention and made browsing - the very purpose for which they were created - more difficult. Safari changes all that.
Safari is designed to emphasize the browsing, not the browser. The browser frame is a single pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when needed. And if you choose, you can hide almost the entire interface, removing virtually every distraction from the browser window. A great browser should get out of your way and let you simply enjoy the web. Safari does just that. And it does it regardless of platform.
The first browser to deliver the "real" Internet to a mobile device, Safari renders pages on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch just as you see them on your computer. But this is more than just a scaled-down mobile version of the original. It takes advantage of the technologies built into these Multi-Touch devices.

Women In Art: Hypnotic Video.
"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."
~ Pablo Picasso
Philip Scott Johnson has cast a strange net in his lovely and original video which blends together images of women from the last 500 years in art.
In it, he captures the soul of these women as seen through an artist's eyes over the course of centuries. By blending the portraits together with a time elapse technique first debuted, if I'm not mistaken, in Michael Jackson's "Black or White" video, and using the eyes as a common focal point, he creates a powerful connection between the artist, the subject and the audience.
As I watched Johnson's work, I felt I knew, just for a moment, each of the women portrayed. All of them are equally compelling and, to me, equally beautiful, though they differ in almost every imaginable way. The spectrum of female beauty is indeed wide; wide enough to include every woman who has ever lived.
This piece is like the antidote to all the photoshopped, barbarically thin Barbie-esque images of women which bombard us on a minute to minute basis.
It is a reminder that there is not one ideal and that every woman can and should be celebrated.
Having said that, I would be remiss if I did not also note the glaring absence of work by female artists like Frieda Kahlo and Mary Cassatt. Philip Scott Johnson could have elevated this piece to an even higher level had he chosen to include not just a variety of female subjects, but the women artists who also paint them.
Nevertheless he has evoked the magic of feminine beauty as it exists in all its forms. For that, I am grateful.
In these disparate faces I see my girlfriends, my sister, my mother, my grandmother, my great great great grandmother, myself; holding hands across time and gazing lovingly into one another's eyes with the secret wisdom of a woman.
